[IC] TTG Chapter 1: Sloth

[Shamitako]

Adam, vs. Strider

Adam saw Strider priming her guns and grinned., it seemed it was time to start. He opened a comm channel to his opponent. The ability to communicate with your foe was one everyone possessed, but very few actually took advantage of it. Talking was often considered a risk, and was at the very least a distraction. IN Adam's case however, he liked to use it as a way to put his opponent off-balance. In other words, smacktalk was a great way to open up his Signature.
"Well this is certainly going to be a long fight." He said, starting out with small talk, "Two mechs both built to annoy FAD builds, chances seem slim either of us is outfit especially to deal with each other. Although your build is quite a bit more common than mine, so I think I have a slight experience advantage there."

Right as he spoke the word advantage, his mech revved up and shot straight forward towards his opponent. The oddly designed blue orb rolling at high speed over the wasteland floor. It was more of an attempt to gauge her mental fortitude and see how easily he could catch her off guard than an actual attack. That wasn't to say it wouldn't work as an actual attack, but if she had any chance against him at all, she'd have the mental fortitude to dodge it

Strider vs Silent Requiem​​

Morgan gave a low, quiet growl after her opponent finished speaking. She didn't like this guy from the start, but now he's purposely trying to get on her nerves. While Silent Requiem's comment wasn't entirely false, she did think that he was getting a bit ahead of himself. The match has just started and he's already making assumptions. Morgan Belle did not get into this tournament by being just like everyone else... but apparently, he doesn't know that. And as much as she would like to just activate EAS and blow him away in one fell swoop, she knew it wasn't going to be that easy. It never is. However, she did notice that he was straight up rushing her. "...So you're at an advantage, huh?" Morgan said as she switched to her shotgun. "We'll see about that." She waited until her opponent got close, and attempted to dodge to the right, firing at the oversized bowling ball as she went.

Adam, vs. Strider

It seemed Adam's verbal attack had at least some effect, but his opponent wasn't going to be that easy to take down. He had already been prepared for her to dodge, so that wasn't a huge issue. He momentarily reversed his acceleration and shifted his direction to the right. The maneuver set him on a straight course for his opponent once again, but this time she had much less time to get out of the way. The shotgun blast did graze his hull, but it merely scratched the plating. He had to applaud her though. "Hey, nice choice with the shotgun, lots of damage when I go for a head-on charge." He said, "Too bad for you I don't plan on letting you hit me straight on." He quickly elbowed a key on his armrest, extending a ring of sharp blades offset just slightly from his horizontal axis. With such a small gap, he ought to at least be able to graze Strider with the blades, even if he couldn't get a direct hit and tear into her.

Ricochet V. Hellfire Knight

Ricochet grinned, being a good distance away and behind his opponent. Hellfire's grab at Ricochet ended up merely inflicting a small ring of dents on the mech, despite the successful grab, seeing as he used his Six-Point Bonus's Teleport to get out of the grasp of his opponent as she was saying her Special Ability's name. Noticing that his opponent had stopped firing their guns, he used the opportunity to fire off three missiles from his Missile Launcher at his opponent in quick succession, squinting his left eye each time he fired off a missile. Then, since he'd run out of missiles in that clip, he squinted his right eye in order to trigger his Laser Gun, giving his Missile Launcher time to reload itself. All of his shots were aimed at the center of the ball of plasma.

Hellfire Knight vs. Ricochet

Hiroki spun about once again to face her enemy. With a wordless yell, she made a motion as if throwing some large object over her head. The plasma surrounding her flung itself at Ricochet, sending Hiroki sliding backward and immolating the the missiles mid-flight. The laser bloomed in the cloud of ionized gas, robbing it of most of its power before it hit the Hellfire Knight's frame and was absorbed harmlessly by the armor, specialized in heat dispersal.

Her HUD lit up all green within moments of discharging the barrier, except the indicator showing the status of Hellfire Mantle; that was red, slowly cooling toward yellow. "Activate auxiliary power cell; subroutine GIGA FLARE!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. The cloud of plasma headed toward Ricochet was followed with an absolutely unavoidable solid wall of pure plasma, looking like a second sun had just appeared on the battlefield as it heaved forth from every gun on the mech's frame. Another indicator on her HUD blinked out as the visor darkened in response to the sudden increase in light; this time it was grayed out, indicating it would be quite some time before that could be done again.

Revenant vs Supernova

"Rockets, huh? Talk about low tech." The Revenant ducked and combat rolled out of the way of the oncoming blasts with ease as Solomon pondered the readouts. He didn't even have to use the Tesla fields for this one, the units natural grace and agility were far more than enough. "What the hell is up with this rising heat rating though? The fools gonna blow like a radiator..."

"Oh good, I was just about to point it out myself. It's a rather peculiar build, isn't it? But I think those fire blasts he keeps trying to send are a dead give away-"

"There's a reason behind the heat sig." Sully finished the thought for the machine. "If he's gotten to the point where he's fighting us now, then the heating definitely can't be the result of a design defect or oversight, he'd never get far enough if it was... which means..."

"Exactly...you may have to cut this tango short. I'd rather not sit and wait to see what he's got cooking..." That was met by an audible grunt from Sully.

"Oh come on, Asmo, you scared, bruh? Thought I made you braver than that."

"It's not fear, it's prudence. Gods know where the hell you'd be without a perfect foil to balance out your tactics..."

He came up from the roll just as the exchange finished. The entire conversation had taken less than a moment... just one of the perks of letting an AI have direct access to your thought impulses. But for all their near instantaneous banter, he knew Asmo was right... but they had their own bag of tricks too, didn't they?

He dodged yet another burst of flame, this time flipping backwards into the air, Ragnorak beginning the crackle and pop as electricity visibly coursed up and down her length, setting her blade alight in the same blood red glow as her wielder. He gripped her with both hands, the thunderous roar of electricity seeming to only intensify as he did so.

"Watch my six, SMD build, after all. If he uses that speed factor to warp and come from above or behind... Ragnarok is in your hands... either cut him down or use the Tesla Field to force him back."

"Already watching it..."

No sooner than his feet had once again touched the barren earth was he in motion, body twisting and spinning as he made stroke after frenzied stroke, a miniature storm raging about his body, Ragnarok's cloak of lightning leaping off of her face with thunderous herald and surging outwards over the field before Revenant with every motion, a shockwave of raw electric energy and magnetism, setting off a barrage of electro-magnetic anomalies one after another. It almost seemed as if he was dancing with the blade as he moved that body, beautiful flashes of teal and black and crimson in flowing collage of vigor and motion. The blade work was both a work of art and display of carnal ferocity... grace and brutality, clashing together into one strange marriage.

Armor wasn't his concern here. He couldn't have cared less what the shockwaves did in terms of damage, That was what the pretty little lady swinging wildly in his arms right now was for. No, what he cared about right now were the electrical systems lying beneath the armor. Even if this bloke here thought he was Rocket Man, there still had to be some type of control system, some way for him to trigger the devices when to fire and when to disengage... just like there had to be a system for him to control those flame cannons on his chest. While these shockwaves may not be powerful enough for a full and total shutdown like one of the Tesla Spheres true, full fledged EMPs, they would still do a number on those systems, interfere with their base functioning and glitch them out, force the fool to either sit and wait the short while it would take them to hammer the problems out on their, or take things into his own hands and try to manually reset them; either way, it would buy time... time Revenant could use to close in and end it... just like against any other opponent from the past.

[K_H]

Ricochet v. Hellfire Knight

Ricochet's shoulders sagged as he saw the oncoming wall of incandescent plasma. He then shrugged, knowing that the match was about to end, and said something loud enough for the entire Arena to hear him.

"FAD Mechs always were a bit tricky for me... Well fought, Hellfire."

Then, he was hit by the wall, and his mech was rendered unable to continue fighting once the plasma passed, falling backwards as a result.

[Chevaleresse]

Hellfire Knight vs Ricochet - Final

Hiroki watched her opponent slump backward quietly. She simply nodded to accept the compliment and dismissed her mech, dropping lightly to the ground, now scorched and blackened from her onslaught. The girl turned around and walked a few steps toward the gate she'd originally entered from, then stopped. She thought for a moment, and faced her fallen opponent once more. Hiroki looked like she was about to speak, then shook her head slightly and resumed her original path.

Once she returned to the staging area, she donned her disguise once again, hoping that she didn't run into the one known as LOLI_HUNTER again.

[IntSys]

Supernova vs. Revenant


The lightning-fast shockwaves hit the mech almost instantly, jamming the cannons and the shield system's shield trigger, but the rockets easily recovered from the shockwaves thanks to their circuit's simplicity.

"Damn! And I was so close to gathering enough heat..." Tai initiated the recovery of the shield system. "If I stop right now, I would be giving up the offensive...and that's just not gonna happen!" He then warped to the front of the sword demon, going for a rocket-boosted straight punch to the chest.

[Bfroger6]

Mommo Vs. LOLI_HUNTER

She was going to go straight at her? Now that was somewhat of a surprise, but it made things easier. Still, Mommo wasn't stupid, she knew that this crazy woman had to have had something that would let her survive or evade her assault if she was ready for such a move against a FAO mech like hers. What were those flying things for?

"I won't allow it..." Mommo answered, disinterest apparent in her voice, and pressed the 'fire' button. Immediately, the rocket launchers moved up and above her, taking aim at the bits. Each launcher had 6 small rockets installed, with 3 more reloads for both. The rockets fired, their tracking system AIs controlling their flight in the direction of their locked-on targets and, hopefully, intercepting them in their advance on doing whatever they were going to do from up there. Meanwhile, Mommo took upon the heavy artillery and released a cluster grenade in LOLI_HUNTER's direction, which would explode mid-flight and rain fiery terror upon the ground below where Mommo calculated she would be near in miliseconds. She wasn't aiming directly at her, she was more aiming to divert her course. Of course, such a move raised a smokescreen of dust in the area, but it wasn't an issue, as LOLI_HUNTER seemed to be wielding a hammer and, last she checked, a hammer wasn't a ranger weapon. Sure, she could throw it, but that would be dumb.

The caps on the mech's knees opened as well and revealed two lasers, ready to fire at moment's notice.

[Code: PIRULUK]

Kagari v.s. Slumbering Giant

The bits fired off small bursts of lasers at the approaching missiles, destroying them before they could do any harm. Kagari noted the artillery cannon firing, and fired all her thrusters forward, slowing her advance to a halt. As she did, the nearby bits targeted and fired at the projectile, causing it to detonate ahead of time, sending its payload littering uselessly in front of Kagari. She darted quickly into the resultant smokescreen, using the smoke to reposition herself at a slightly different angle in case the thing decided to fire lasers along her previous axis. With her left hand, she extracted a cylindrical object from a compartment on her thigh, which expanded into a slim javelin with a series of clicks. Several cables emerged from a slot on Kagari's wrist, the ends wrapping firmly around the base of the javelin's shaft, nestling firmly into a series of grooves made for this very purpose. She hefted it, then threw it as hard as she could. It probably wouldn't be able to penetrate her adversary's armor, but the strength and speed with which she threw it should allow for it to lodge nicely in the plating.

[Sutoratosu]

Revenant vs. Supernova

Revenant halted his withering onslaught as the heat signature on his vision suddenly vanished. The storm of electric arcs and thunder-like resonance gradually died down as Ragnarok lost her bloody glow and the power returned to Tesla Sphere's from whence they had come.

"That's right... take the bait. I know you got hit, might not have taken out the rockets like I wanted... damn stone age tech... but I know I at-least took out something in your gear..." Just then, the signature reappeared... not behind him like he had expected... but directly infront.

"Solomon!" Asmo's shouting voice came at the same moment as Supernova launched that haymaker, the rockets flaring as the incoming blow was boosted. But Solomon only smirked. This guy hadn't even considered trying to go for a back attack, had he? No... he couldn't have, not with how quickly he had come in guns blazing. He was ballsy. Sully would give him that much.

It was just too bad that at close range, anything metallic in nature was at his virtual mercy.

With a mere stroke of reactive impulse, the Tesla Spheres awoke to their master's calling, an intense burst of electromagnetic force blasting forward as a Repulsion field in front of Revenant, and Ragnorok came up in that same instance as the rocket-propelled blow drastically slowed momentum, metal straining against the raw magnetic propulsion working against it. Crimson blade met the attack for just an instant as he blocked the strike, before not even a split second later the repulsion field changed it's direction, it's invisible forces seizing the fist as it touched the lady sword, flinging it outwards with to the side with incredibly violent force in an attempt to throw the other combatant off balance. Solomon wasted no time, using the motion from the block to launch a counter. Ragnarok, just as it had at the beginning of the match when he had demonstrated it's raw cutting power, came slicing down through the air in a motion too fast for the naked eye to track as the Tesla Spheres amplified his movement, their alternating fields surrounding the blade and launching the strike with kinetic force and speed rivaling that of a railgun's output....

Except this time, rather than just a few heads of grass, the intended victim of the stroke was none other than the chestpiece of Supernova... the largest and easiest area to target on the enemy mech. Though probably not quite powerful enough to end this fight in one single blow, still, if it hit against such a lightly armored foe as this one, the damage... would still likely be more than just severe. Solomon could already feel himself going giddy at the mere thought of the raw devastation he was about to unleash, as his smirk evolved into a shit eating grin spreading ear to ear.

"Hahaha..." Came a strange crackle from the black-armored devil, it's voice distorted and twisted as it passed the audio filtration system behind that Crimson Visor, barely even sounding human at all as it's manic, hideous cackling increased in both speed and volume "AhahahahaahhehehehhahahaahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

"Solomon, get a hold of your-...shit." Asmodeus gave an in-audible sigh as the man just kept up his insane bout of hysterical, malicious laughter. There was no reaching the fool, when he got into that frenzied, half-mad persona of his that was hellbent on tearing apart whatever stood before him. The AI didn't know why he had even bothered trying in the first place, typically when the Revenant side of the man came out, all he could do was be the extra set of eyes and ears on the field, keep watch while the pilot lost his damn mind and try to assert his Override Protocols to intervene if needed...which typically meant that while Sully went fucking bonkers on the offensive, Asmo had to man their defenses himself and make sure they didn't get obliterated by whatever counter strike the foe may try to launch...as much as he disliked the arrangement though, the system had undeniably done well for them since the very beginning of their career...

"Here you go again, just like you always do. See, this is precisely why you need me...I keep the balance, keep your frenzied madness in the heat of the fight from being your downfall. and instead I help make it our greatest strength. It's not an easy job you know, Sully. The occasional thank you would be appreciated..."

Even as he thought it though, he knew he'd likely never get that thank you. Such was the life of an artificial being created to do nothing more than serve, he guessed...

[IntSys]

Supernova vs. Revenant

Somehow, the Revenant repelled Tai's effort and blasted him away. He was struck with fear - the machines in the chest were half-broken. The mech was flung meters away, with the shield system sparkling with embers, completely exposed.

"Hah...swordsmen...incredible adversaries. The only way to win...is to raise the stakes." Tai ignored the ongoing recovery of the shield system, and punched through his chest. What was a deep sword cut turned into a gaping tunnel. A huge amount of flames flowed into the chest, melting the machinery inside, and created a burning core. It was almost like they were too eager to get in the malfunctioning shield system. The rest of the flames escaped from the holes and created a giant shield of flames surrounding the mech. The heat could rival an erupting volcano. The shield of flames seemed to be much stronger and bigger than what the shield system could've created, covering a big radius around him instead of just coating him, but once the flames tick out, only a fiery explosion awaits.

Tai could feel the incredible amount of heat generated beneath him, something that can't simply be quelled by the cooling units in the operator chamber. He initiated the recovery of the palm's mini cannons, which should be rather quick due to them not being activated when the shockwaves hit.

The mech...no, the Supernova rocketed straight at the Revenant, with his giant fists going for a bear hug. He was fearless, knowing that the demon's best hope was to outlive his burning core, or else burn in a fierce explosion in a melee clash.

Revenant vs. Supernova

Sane men would've run. Sane men would've dodged, turned tail and try to save their hides. But the fool piloting the samurai of blood and night was, at least at the moment, anything but a sane man.

"OH, big boy wanna play!?" Came the demented call in that same inhuman crackling. He lowered himself into a wide stance, feet spread out as he brought both arms up, Ragnorok siting horizontally beside his helm as he glared defiantly at the oncoming challenger. The heat grew greater and greater as the Rocket powered man approached, but Solomon ignored the readings, his rabid, manic thoughts instead on the Tesla Spheres as a cloak of static began to crackle and pop around himself and ragnorok. Asmodeus was screaming inside his skull as the dire threat grew closer by the second...

"Sully, you Gods Damn fool! MOVE, NOW!!!" The human didn't respond. If Asmo had a jaw and teeth to grind, he'd be doing it like a sander belt in that moment. The lunatic was to fixed on the other fighter to bother listening. Infact... if he didn't know any better... it almost felt as though he was about to launch himself right at... oh hell no. "Gah... FUCK! You leave me no choice!"

With that single last curse, the AI leapt into action as he generated the long string of Override prompt and locked Solomon's mind out of the system before the crazy bastard could make the disastrous pouncing leap that could damn sure cost them the whole match, taking full control of the armored suit as he revved the Tesla Spheres for everything they were worth and launched the Revenant backwards diagonally, away from the oncoming thermal storm and landing them a good few dozens of meters away. Sully shouted a myriad of obscenities and curses at him all the while, but Asmodeus ignored the storm of insults from his ungrateful maker.

The heat signature... was off the charts. There was no way in hell they would win if Solomon had been allowed to rush in and try to issue a final blow like he just had. Infact, as far as Asmodeus was concerned, they were staying as far from the damn thing as possible; with readings arcing that high, nothing good would come from it. Even if the other mech had some type of reason for all that heat... it still surely had to have it's maximum capacity for Tolerance, and as fast the temperature was sky rocketing...

In terms of physical distance, they could force them back, hold them at bay with the fields, that much Asmo was certain of. But even then, with that radius of raw, unbridled hellfire, Things would still be an utter catastrophe if they got close, even if the enemy fighter couldn't actually touch them. There was no doubt about it. Right now, they had to play Cosmic Keep Away as best they could.

With his war plans drawn and his maker restrained, the AI took advantage of the electric cloak Sully had seen fit to generate in his psychosis, channeling every last ounce of Voltage present away from the Mech's main body and into Ragnarok herself. He made a stroke. And another. And another. And he keep going, faster and faster, Electromagnetic shockwave after shockwave again leaping off of her gleaming red face and spreading out across the field towards Supernova, just as fast and numerous as they had been the last time, the AI keeping a close eye on the enemy's distance and movement all the while.

He didn't know how much the waves would do, didn't know how effective they would be compared to the last bout... but he didn't care. They needed something to keep the raging inferno occupied, keep it away, and aside from running away or using a full fledged EMP burst, this was the only option they had... but he wasn't about to waste that latter option, not here, not now... not unless they absolutely had no other way.

[Bfroger6]

Mommo vs. LOLI_HUNTER

So that's what they did... That was... unfortunate, to say the least. It meant all her missiles were going to get intercepted by these things... And they moved at unique trajectories and speeds, she couldn't target them easily with her energy cannons, and even if she tried, it'd take way too much time. These things intercepted all of her 12 rockets and the grenade...

What was going to happen no-

She really had no time to react. Both thanks to the dust and the speed it played out in... and 'cause of the fact she wasn't very good with reflexes either. AThe javelin hit straight on and hard, hard enough to stick itself into the area below the mech's left shoulder, thankfully, missing any major systems. She could still move it. And, though it stroke hard, it barely made Mommo's mech move. It was almost as if the HUNTER had thrown her spear into an unmoving wall of sorts, and it just stuck there.

The rockets reloaded immediately, but she didn't fire them yet. Instead, he opted to direct her mech towards the point where the spear came from and shoot there, following the trajectory of her opponent, as the dust already began to clear in the barren arena. Both hands straight and palms opened, Mommo began firing blast after blast of energy impulses at the HUNTER, following her with her aim if she decided to run around. Mommo's mech would rotate on its torso to do so, its feet firmly planted into the ground. The lasers also locked on the HUNTER and a new grenade was loading. At least 20 new compartment opened up to reveal machine guns sticking out of them as Mommo masterfully inserted the commands with her feet. They began firing at the HUNTER as well, though they were more cover fire to lower the range of her dexterous, fine movements as she shot at the general area around her head and shoulders. The flying things didn't concern her for now. Even if they fired at her, they wouldn't do much damage, if any. She couldn't let the HUNTER too close. She was melee, and she was way below her on the list they got... But she was dangerous... What was the source of her power? Was it really only because she wanted to tear apart her armor and reveal her tender, loli body?

She didn't have time to think, though, there was a fight happening, and strangely, she found herself more and more awake with every passing moment.

Kagari v.s. Slumbering Giant

Kagari displayed a feral grin as she felt the satisfying impact of the javelin burying itself deeply into the opponent's armor. Without losing a second, she leapt up and forward, yanking on the cables attached to the javelin, not hard enough to dislodge them, but hard enough to send her flying into her opponent. As she flew, her bits converged around her and locked together, forming a rotary protective plating to shield her from the hail of bullets. None of the machinegun shots were of a high enough calibre to outright destroy her bits, but several got lucky and hit vital areas, costing her three bits. As she flew, the mace in her hand grew shorter, until its shaft was just slightly longer than two mecha handspans. With her opponent's lasers rendered ineffectual by the sheer speed at which she soared, she landed on the chest of the Slumbering Giant and started bludgeoning it every which way with her mace, laughing like a woman in the throes of insanity.

Strider vs Silent Requiem​​​

Morgan took the hit from Silent Requiem's blade, though it was barely just a scratch. That's what she thought, at least, until the system began to sound a short alarm.

Warning! Taking damage!​

"...Damn. System, activate maneuver jets!" The jets immediately flared on with the system confirming the command. Command accepted... Maneuver jets activated.​ Morgan immediately flew backwards to gain some distance before switching back to her machine guns. She then pointed the weapons at her opponent and opened fire.

Supernova vs. Revenant

The shockwaves were heavily weakened by the the storms of fire coming out of Supernova. When they got through the flames, they were barely able to affect the machinery like they did before.

>Mini Cannons Recovery Complete
>Heat Capacity: 80/150 (+20 Every Turn)

"Come on! Where was the magnetic monster I feared so much?"

Supernova launched a barrage of energy blasts from his palms as he went for another rocket-boosted bear hug. The blasts were reinforced by the chaotic inferno generated by the core. They were like dragons from the depths of hell, searing through any unfortunate object barring their ways.

The arena was cast a vermilion hue by the wild flames...

[Sutoratosu]

Revenant vs. Supernova

No answer came from Revenant, though inside the metal prison, Sully screamed like a lunatic.

"Hahaaha... yeah, Asmo. Where is he!?"

"Shut up..." Asmo ceased the strikes as the enemy mech moved closer. They didn't seem to be doing much. And he was far more concerned with getting out of the way, again activating the Tesla Spheres and launching them out the attacks path, propelling themselves up through the air and off to the side, continuing the entire conversation as they retreated. "He's locked up at the moment... because his raw idiocy was about to sink us."

"Sink us!? SINK US!? Asmo, he's not gonna sink us, he's gonna save us! C'mon, let me in, I'm a fairy come to bring ya victory! Don't you believe in fairies!?"

"What the fuck are you even talking about? And no, I'm not doing it. You'll wreck us with the recklessness."

There was a long pause. Then suddenly "So you don't believe in fairies... good, you're as smart as I made you to be. But here's another test: do you believe in...metal shells?"

"No- wait... what? Come again."

"DO. YOU. FUCKING. BELIEVE. IN. METAL SHELLS!?"

"...dear gods." If he had eyes, they would've lit with recognition. "Of course, that's it..."

In the heat of the situation, the rush of everything; restraining Sully, keeping away from the opponent... Asmodeus had somehow completely forgotten about the internal storage dock located in Revenant's shoulder pauldrons... and the three, fist-sized metallic spheres housed within each. Gods, how could he have been so stupid... of course, Sully was right. They were the answer here. The mech might not withstand entering that field of fire, but the spheres... they would do it with no problem. Hell, they both knew from experience the things were damn near indestructible, with their composition...they definitely hadn't been cheap to make, that much was certain, but damn, did they always get the job done when the Tesla Fields were behind them.

Well...Looks like for all he was worth in their relationship, he still needed Solomon... just like the pilot did him. Solomon chuckled at the AIs recollection.

"C'mon, buddy boy. Let's finish em!!! Go big or go home, all or nothing, fool!! If we get beaten here, it's not gonna be because we were too damn scared to pull out all the stops!! WRECK his shit, Asmo, WRECK IT HARD!!!"

He needn't be told twice. Before they had even landed from the evasive maneuver, Revenant seamlessly put Ragnorok back into her sheath and reached up to it's right and left shoulders, arms crossing over the chest as a subtle click and hiss sounded. Twin spheres, gleaming like bright silver shot out of the open hatches in the armor, making landfall right into the waiting palms as black, armored feet hit the barren and scorched earth and not even a second afterwards, already winding up the finisher, arching backwards and assuming the stance of a professional pitcher. The sensors had a positive lock on the location, and without any hesitation, Revenant boosted the Tesla Spheres up to their absolute maximum capacity, the EM field around them growing far more powerful and larger as their electric hum grew ever louder and louder, like a droning cacophony of a thousand chirping birds taking flight at once, static and thunder again beginning to surround them. The power surging forth was so great the usually invisible forces at work took on visible form, appearing as a strange, shifting field of dark grey and arcing teal.

Asmodeus could feel solomon's puzzlement at the odd increase in power output... and his realization as the man came to terms with what the AI was doing. Again, he started laughing in hysteria, though it was droned out easily by the sounds of the Tesla Field.

"Yes, Asmo, YES! WRECK IT!!!! DESTROY HIM!"

Twas all the approval he needed. He arced back both arms, and at the same moment, the Tesla Field bloomed with light, color, and sound as a miniature explosion sounded in the distance, the sphere expanding outwards in every single direction as a shockwave of raw and unbridled force accompanied it's eruption. Static hung heavy in the air, the thunderous gallop of lightning could be heard as it moved closer and closer, nearly at the speed of light itself as it shifted from phase E1, to E2, and finally into E3, the molecules in the air being stripped of their very electrons as the electromagnetic radiation pulsed out, said electrons now joining the immense wave of raw, high voltage and electromagnetic force, only increasing their already sizeable potency as they came surging right for Tai's mech.

But the Full-fledged EMP, even in all it's furious, frenzied glory, was not the only component of their assault. There too were the twin, gleaming spheres, leaving the Revenant's hands in the exact same moment as the EMP's birth. The pitching throw that would send them flying was only amplified by the gargantuan magnetic forces at work, turning the two inert objects into projectiles of nigh mass destruction as they speed off, far too fast to track with the naked eye just like Solomon's sword strike had been, but packing Kinetic force even greater than a Railgun's behind them as the zoomed out with an audible boom, curving trajectories riding the wave like kids on a roller coaster...

their targets being none other than the chest and helm of Tai's mech, one aiming for just below the exposed core of flames, while the other arcing straight for inbetween the eyes...if they hit the already damaged fighter... they would surely make the damage done by Ragnarok look like child's play in comparison; there would be no getting up, no continuing... no, unlike Ragnarok's stroke, the twin projectiles packed the power to absolutely obliterate, not simply cause heavy destruction.

[IntSys]

Supernova vs. Revenant


The high-speed spheres were greeted by the blazing shots and the whirling flames. They were slowed a bit and their trajectory tilted. The sphere that went for the helm missed, but the other sphere hit its target. The force was weakened, but it was able to completely pierce the bottom of the mech, while almost dismembering the thighs. Massive amount of flames came out of the newly opened hole, reinforcing the shield. The electromagnetic storm found itself in an awkward state, with most of it weakened and diverted by the crossing flames, but the front of it managed to get through before getting caught, blasting Supernova away like he was hit by a tidal wave. Some of the blasts fired were able to hit their marks, although they won't change the outcome anymore.

>Heat Capacity: 100/150 (+30 Every Turn, due to the newly-opened hole)

Tai struggled to get up...it was tough, but he stood up tall again. The blazes were everywhere, the shield covered nearly a fourth of the arena.

He stared at the swordsman beyond the flames. What he saw wasn't a demon, but a master in combat.

He looked at the immolating core, desperate to dispense more flames.

"Not today..." Tai said, with a scent of disappointment. He initiated the shutdown sequence.

The core slowly dried out, and the shield dissipated. The wild flames vanished into the air, without a trace.

>Heat Capacity: 0/150


With that, the match concluded, with Revenant prevailing against Supernova.

Silent Requiem vs. Strider

The sound of metal shredding through metal reached Adam's ears through his mech's sensors. Satisfied that the blades had done their job, he retracted them. He was hit from behind with a light scattering of machine gun fire, but this was no short range attack from a shotgun and did little more than scratch up his armor, which quickly compensated. Even better, it seemed Strider had satisfied the conditions for his Signature with her retreat. "It seems you've made a foolish mistake, this battle is mine." He sneered over the comms. Any sense of trying to toy with her was gone, he was convinced he had the upper hand now. "Alpha Screech." He whispered menacingly. Silent Requiem began emitting a mind melting wave of ultrasonic vibration. The few people in the stands all keeled over in pain, unable to move. Adam felt a slight disdain toward Sleeping Bear for being too lazy to even put in protective shielding in his arenas. But he didn't have much time to focus on that, his Signature wouldn't last long, he'd have to work quickly. He had enough time for one attack and he had no intention of wasting it. He pivoted and charged directly at Strider. Just before he collided he extended the large majority of his mechs blade's, transforming into a whirling orb of death. The blades ground against the immobilized Strider, ripping into her armor. A moment later Adam launched off. His attack wouldn't have done very severe damage, even against weak armor like Strider's, but if he could keep her on the defensive he would very quickly find another chance to activate his signature and perform the same maneuver again. Four or five more hits like that and he'd have won.

(OOC: Just to be clear, jumping back in surprise at the damage was what triggered the "off-balance" condition. So just because he struck her again doesn't mean he can trigger his signature again right away, Morgan has to react in a way that gives Adam control of the scenario. And of course two observance points means she can figure that out, so I think Adam may be being a tad cockier than he should be... Just a tad)

Mommo vs. LOLI_HUNTER

'Oh... Didn't notice the cables...' Mommo stayed unusually calm even as her mech was almost jerked forward by the impending force of her opponent's pull. She was strong... She nearly managed to pull the Giant...

And even as the maniac began bashing at her mech, Mommo kept her cool. She had never been in such a situation before, but still... All she had to do was to get the HUNTER off. The bludgeon kept leaving dents in Mommo's thick armor. Even if she couldn't see it, not anything, really, as her field of vision was blocked by the HUNTER's body, the DANGER pop-ups on her screen were more than enough to let her know what exactly was happening.

The left arm she couldn't use thanks to the fact that the javelin had been stuck deep inside it and the HUNTER was pretty much blocking its movement range with her body, but she could use her right arm. Just had to wait for the right moment... One hit, two hits...

"...now." The next strike of the bludgeon would be repelled from the armor, as if it was brand new and shiny, and not full of dents already. Mommo would take this chance to lodge the right arm of her mech into the HUNTER's torso, crushing the bits (be it necessary, with her cannon), and then start pummeling the same cannon on the palm of her mech into the HUNTER, firing burst after burst of energy directly into it. Unless it did something to prevent her from doing that.

Kagari v.s. Slumbering Giant

Kagari laughed maniacally as she pounded away at her opponent's armor. With each hit, she felt herself growing more excited; each hit was bringing her closer to the beauty that was the loli within the mech.

And then one of her hits was deflected. Taking it into stride, she allowed the recoil to carry her away from the opponent, landing squarely on the ground. The obsession which clearly showed on her face increased even further in intensity. Licking her lips, she yanked on the cables still attached to the javelin, swinging her around and behind her opponent, the mace extending to its original length. With the momentum and centrifugal force from the turn adding to her power, she slammed the mace into her armored adversary with a wide grin and a barbaric shout, the force and speed of the turn causing the wires that linked her to the javelin to snap.

Mommo vs. LOLI_HUNTER

"Huh..?" Mommo couldn't keep up with her opponent's speed. The fast maneouvers were far too much for the sluggish mech to handle, so the HUNTER could easily pull off her little stunt. However still, Mommo began turning her mech's torso as the HUNTER swung herself behind her back. Several indents on her back opened to reveal energy cannons and machine-guns which started firing at the HUNTER. However, Mommo doubted even a full on nuke wouldn't have been enough to stop the rabid frenzy of this animal at this point.

The mace slammed into her back as she turned and Mommo's entire mech, the Giant, was abruptly thrown off its solid balance. Bits and pieces of armor and cannon plating strewn all across the field as the mech landed on its front with a loud 'thud!'... What gotten the most damaged was the cannon she didn't even get an opportunity to use, which just stood on her back the whole time, and the armor was in pretty bad shape... The accumulator was exposed-a shiny rectangular object wrapped in a coat of lean black armor, and seemed to be buzzing like it wasn't supposed to. There was already a rather big dent in it, but it was still trying its best to survive... It wouldn't be difficult to break it fully now. Mommo couldn't move her mech anymore now that it wasn't standing. She could only yank the controls in an attempt to get it up, but to no avail. The guns would keep firing, but at what, the sky? No, there was nothing else she could do...

Than make her opponent's wishes come true... and expose her tender body to her... ... ...

"You..." The girl's voice broke the silence from the other side of the iron curtain. She tried to cozy herself up in her cabin as she spoke, but... ugh, the pillow was beneath her butt in the tightest spot of the cockpit. "You wish to see my... body. Correct...?"

SOCIAL - 2 POINTS - INITIATING INTERACTION

[Code: PIRULUK]

Kagari did not relent in her assault even as the long-desired loli underneath the armor spoke, dashing straight to the damaged machine.

"Ehhhh? See? Is that supposed to be a joke? Nah. I'm going to devour it!"

She laughed heartily as she continued tearing away at the armored robot. See? After all this? Did the girl think that just seeing her would be enough to satisfy the LOLI_HUNTER? Nonononononono. She fully intended to consume, to devour, to fully enjoy her prey, to make the Slumbering Giant hers. With a wicked grin, she plunged her clawed fingers into the accumulator of the machine, ripping out its inner workings. With a glare of feral triumph, she struck the cockpit of the opponent's mech, tearing it open to reveal a very lightly dressed loli within. Grasping Mommo in her metallic, clawed hands, Kagari brought the loli right in front of her, heat rushing through and colouring her body with excitement. Unable to withstand the temptation, Kagari seized Mommo's lips, indulging herself in a long, slow kiss.
