Futuristic StarRunner (RP Thread) [OPEN]

Falco looked up just in time to see the shields on one of the missile boats flicker.


"Who hit the missile boat!"


"I believe the the strike came from the Lucifer."


"He's got a chance at making through that things shields. Does he need any close range assistance?"


"Not really, he seems to be firing from a safe distance. But the Xerxes is in some trouble. She is surrounded by swordsmen, and she doesn't have any defensive measures."


"She's the one with the shields right? We'll need her if there's any chance of us getting through th-!!!!"


Falco was cut short as he found himself staring at the business end of a missile. After a mind jarring explosion and blinding flash and searing pain in his eyes Falco found his display completely blacked out.


"Crap! Crap! Crap crap crap! Alexander! Get the monitors up now!!!"


"I'm trying! Rerouting the monitors to infrared vision. You won't have any HUD, the computing devices are totally fried."


The infrared visuals came up just in time for Falco to see masses of swordsmen coming in from all sides. Quickly deciding retreat would be the best option he spun around as he locked his swords into staff mode and started to spin it directly in front of him. Hoping his exposed back would be protected from ranged attacks by the mass of swordsmen. It successfully stopped the missiles, but one stray bullet got through, he felt a sharp pain in his lower leg.


"People better not start calling me gimpy because of that. Now, where's the shield girl? "


"She is thirty degrees to your left."


Suddenly changing direction he dodged two red flashes that he knew represented two missiles. Realizing why he had been hit to begin with, Falco started travel in as erratic and unguessable path as he could, his wounded leg helped with the spontaneity. I should start dancing. So he started to do just that. Not a full-on jazz dance but the crazy sort you do at a dubstep concert. Hopefully this would keep any more missiles from getting a lock.


Falco arrived at the shield FRAME in time to slice the head off a swordsmen just as it was about to stab her in the back."Thought you could use some close range help!" He yelled after Alexander patched him through to the other Rider.


Results: 10 swordsmen permanently decommissioned and Eve assisted. Loss of HUD and precise maneuvering.

Alexei laughed cheerfully as he was charged. "It appears that we messed up the missile boat's shields. Shall we poke it again?" Yorick asked.


"Oh helllllll yeah," Alexei laughed in reply. The Lucifer managed to dodge the riflemen's fire, but two swordsmen charged Alexei, slashing at the Lucifer. The Lucifer raised its long arms, blocking the blades from hitting its torso. The blades' forceful impact caused the Lucifer to shudder a little bit, but no significant damage was caused. Grabbing the two mecha by their heads, the Lucifer tossed them to either side, freeing up a straight shot at the missile boat. A single laser emitted from the Lucifer's head, targeting the missile boat. Another 500mm shell fired from the Lucifer's chest cannon, at the same time that a salvo of missiles fired from its back. Alexei then set the Lucifer into full evasion mode, dodging the enemy mecha that were trying to swarm him.


[Took 2 Light Wounds; focused strike at missile boat]

"Whoa! You almost got me there! Better luck next time!"


In the dark expanse of space, Kaito sped around asteroids leaving destroyed mechas in his wake. The euphoric feeling of combat filled Kaito's head as he propelled himself along. Flames were in his eyes as he continued his onslaught. However, all good things can't last forever. Maybe Kaito was enjoying himself too much, but somehow just when he was pulling his Aero blade from the metallic remains of a mecha, a missile hit him square in the chest. Luckily though, he managed to block most of the blast with his offhand shield, however something like that doesn't happen without sending it's target flying from pure force.


Kaito was sent tumbling through space, cartwheeling like some sort of cartoon character. "Dammit X! Get me control of this FRAME now!" He screamed in annoyance. If there was anything he hated, it was looking like a joke in front of weaklings such as these. Kaito tried to move but to no avail, he continued to spin throughout space until he was finally stopped by the blade of a enemy mecha. The blade didn't fully pierce the back plating of Kaito's FRAME but it was clear if he didn't do anything soon, it would go all the way through and reach Kaito himself.


"Motion Stabilizers re-engaging. Full control over FRAME movements should resume in 3... 2... 1." The mechanical voice of X was like music to Kaito's ears. As soon as he could, he surged a little extra energy into his wings, burning his attacker. Then he propelled himself off the blade and did a full 180 degree turn and sent his blade clean through the mecha resulting in a smoky explosion. "X, I want a full system diagnostic. Make sure nothing else went wonky during that explosion." He commanded X as he continued to float in the smoky remains of the mecha he had just destroyed.


"System diagnostic complete. All systems are fully operational, however it seems we are surrounded on all sides. Would you like to engage M.E.C.H Wing Overdrive?" Almost as if X was a oracle of some kind, when the smoke dissipated, Kaito was indeed surrounded by three bladesmen, one missile mecha, and a rifleman. "Um, it seems I have gotten myself into a pickle..." Kaito began to run every scenario through his head. Yes, the best thing to do would've been to engage M.E.C.H Wing overdrive and get his ass the hell out of there; however what would've been the fun in that?


"X, get ready for some classic close combat!"


Almost in an instant, Kaito drove his blade into the midsection of one of the bladesmen then in another swift motion he drove the back of his Aero Blade (which has a custom edge just for attacks such as this) into the other bladesmen. "Attention, enemy mecha is targeting you for a missile strike. Evasive maneuvers recommended." X said, clearly unamused by Kaito's combat prowess.


With a blast of smoke, the missiles fired at Kaito. Using the speed of his FRAME, he managed to maneuver himself behind the rifleman. The missiles mistakenly hit the riflemen to Kaito's satisfaction, then he made sure that before the missile mecha could fire another valley, he was taken care of. "Now that is how you make the best out of a compromising situation!"


"Warning. Five enemies were involved in last altercation, only four were dispatched..." Before X could finish his sentence, the last bladesmen entered Kaito's view. "Shit!" With both of it's blades, the enemy mecha attacked Kaito head on. Kaito somehow managed to block one of the blades, the other skimmed the head of his FRAME causing his vison to go all fuzzy. "Dammit, you'll pay for that!"


With only half of his sensors operational, Kaito slipped his blade into the neck of the mecha. "Sayonara!" Then with the flick of his mechanical wrist, he dislodged the head of the bladesmen. Soon, Kaito's vision returned.





"Wasn't that exhilarating, X!"


"More enemy units are present."


"You're no fun..."


[RESULTS: 6 KILLS (3 Bladesmen, 2 Riflemen, 1 Missile Mecha)


Kaito has sustained one light wound from missile explosion, one light-medium wound for being partially impaled on blade, and another light-medium wound from head cut.]

"Of course Sergeant! A little organization goes a long way!" Arden responded as his FRAME descended and crashed into the Swordsmen formations. Arden quickly highlighted targets directly in front of him, leveled out the Bulletstorm once again and unleashed another devastating wave of High Caliber rampage, like a wave of bullets washing over them, the Swordsmen were quite literally torn apart by the sheer amount of ammunition being spit downstream of the gun. The rotating barrels glowed red hot and slowed to a stop. Having cleared another short hole in the ocean of enemies charging them, Arden took in the situation...


Seemed he had several teammates believing they were better off fighting an army alone then working with the team, he grimaced and elected to ignore them. Those who cooperated and coordinated would be the ones to survive, the ones to make it out with little damage. He also happened to notice that the Missile Salvo did hardly anything to the enemy Broadside, as such the M4 Menoceras arm was raised to take another shot, however this time the weapon glowed a vibrant light blue. The Neutronium Accelerator Cannon could easily burn small holes through the Broadside's shield and thus, the NARC was fired. A sort of wet, electronic sploosh sound erupted from the cannon as it fired a twirling gob of molten alloy. The projectile spiraled through the air and solidified moments before connecting with the Broadside's hull.


The NARC cannon needed time to recharge however, and so the arm was lowered only to have the crowd of Swordsmen close in on Arden once again, his weapons still hot Arden attempted to backpedal out of the enemies and took several glancing blows from the swords. The primitive weapons did little more then make a metallic clanking sound against the hull of Arden's FRAME but one inevitable sword stroke among the dozens he took nicked a soft spot and the FRAME had a plate of armor collapse onto the field.


"Slaughter at your will, Enlina but we need to be coordinated! The Broadside is turning and the Missile Boats are still active! We need to coordinate an attack or we'll be overwhelmed! Sergeant Gorgon, can I get a little help here?!" Arden shouted out as he once again performed a frog-leap into the air to escape the encroaching enemies.


[Results]- 15 more Swordsmen sent to meet their Digital Maker! A bolt of molten Iron, Uranium, Tungsten was fired at the Broadside in an attempt to burn through shields and puncture the hull. (The projectile is only 4ft in length and 2ft in width.)

Riel cursed softly as the missiles flew towards the planet. 400 missiles would cause a ton of damage. He seemed to be avoiding the attention, so maybe he could give his armor to someone if that trend continued. "Drini, mark all our allies on my visual."


"Ok." As his allies glowed a bright blue color, he saw that they were mostly spread out, and not focusing on the stronger enemies. Sure the others could hurt, but they didn't need to have 5 people attacking them. The planet was going to enter the Broadside's firing range any second, and that wouldn't end well. Riel took out 5 Missile mechs heading toward Eve before seeing Falco come help. He then switched to targeting the group of people attacking Arden, taking out a group of 10 more Missile mechs. "Riel, I just finished the scan."


"What did you get?"


"The Missile boats have a LOT more missles. Probably enough for around 10 more salvos each. They don't have any specific weak points big enough to be able to hit with any accuracy. I recommend a series of strikes on a small area for penetration, then destruction. The Broadside's shields are still too strong to penetrate fully, leaving the scan only 37.33% effective. I will repeat scan once the shields are finally down."


"Well, great. Just what I wanted to hear." Riel sighed again. He saw the broadside continuing to turn and made a quick decision. Taking careful aim with both rifles, he fired two shots, one exactly 0.73 seconds after the other. The first laser should cause a momentary shield disruption that would allow the second to go through, but that all depended on the shield's strength. He quickly looked around the battlefield again. Seeing the enemies converging on the planet, he cursed again, then a thought occurred to him.


"Drini, patch me through to the Guardian Angel. I need to ask her something."


"Of course."


Once the connection got through, Riel asked, "Eve, if I boosted your power, could you possibly be able to shield the planet from upcoming attacks?"


Results: 15 Missile mechs dead, attempted strike on Broadside. If @The Mythic Dragon

'A decent man, just as I thought.' Eve's mind spoke as she looked towards the comm window, enjoying Arden's transmission. 'Though keeping them in my sights is my idea.'


A red light flashed within the HUD, a minor flicker due to the feedback of excess power. "Output to Beta and Delta has ceased, it appears the Broadside diminished the barrier, perhaps with a single round." Cer'ce spoke, 'Perhaps all power should have been directed to shielding the Strykers."


Eve, ignoring the input from the SOUL, delved into deeper thought on the previous statement. ' A single round? Just how powerful can that thing be to instantly deplete half my reserves with one round? If that thing hits a FRAME...' Shaking her head, she dispersed the distraction of thought, "Cer'ce, unlock Alpha and Charlie, I want the remaining power to the fron-" With a mild explosion, the frame shook. This inconvenience took place at just the right time to jumble her thoughts once more, not only were her power reserves halved, but now enemies were upon her as well?


"Cer'ce, thrusters!" Eve yelled, eyes resting on the blade-wielders within close proximity. With a quick burst of movement to the left, her frame managed to avoid impalement. "You small fry are in the way!" Eve shouted at the display, charging her frame forward in competition to yet another blade-wielder attempting a strike. With a minor burst of her left thrusters, she managed to avoid a blade, with a quick strike to the blade's broadside she managed to knock it away. Countering the follow-up using the secondary blade, the she grabbed the swinging arm tightly, and with yet another short burst of thrusters, she booster the Xerxes' knee into the machine whilst pulling off the sword arm. With said arm, she struck down on the mook.


A burning sting could be felt from her left side, unbeknownst to her, another mook had already charged in and managed to take a passing strike. "I advise you to avoid any more damage on your left central armor." Cer'ce spoke, followed by Eve swinging the arm once more at an approaching swordsman. Luckily enough it managed to jam itself within the speeding mook, leaving her unarmed, but compromising said mook. "And why is that Cer'ce?" Eve retorted, prepping for the next strike. "The armor has been compromised, and is jamming the left leg motor."


As if on queue another voice spread through her comm. Apparently a swordsman was going to attempt to finish her, but an allied Stryker came to her aid. "The help is much appreciated. Xerxes isn't exactly equipped for this kind of fighting, and fists only get you so far in a sword fight." Eve responded to the rescuer, "Kind of wish you got here a little faster though."


' A Stryker, so he fell back to aide me from the front lines.' Even within these situations, Eve still desired to collect as much data about these Riders as possible. Luckily, her life did not depend on them yet, but someday soon, it very well might. Eve looked to her HUD, attempting to see where all of her allies were currently located, however she immediately froze on a single frame approaching the Broadside. "Cer'ce, I need power now. Preferably more than half of maxim-"


Yet again, a voice projected from her comm, with the mention of more power at the request of stopping upcoming attacks on the objective. If she used a four-point shield with increased output, maybe, just maybe she would be able to block a sizeable number of attacks. But the issue was the Broadside that had already eliminated half of her output with a single round.. Perhaps a condensed four-point would stander better chances due to overlays.. But then the Missile Boats would be free due to the tracking strain. "With additional power it may very well be possible."


@Runesage


"Though I request for you to allow me full use of that power to support the strikes against the Broadside. Allied frames will be top priority, immediately followed by preventing further attacks on the objective." Within moments her frame shook once more, a small notification indicating weapon systems within her HUD appeared. ' Weapon.. Defense.. Systems.. What is that rider doing?'


"Eve, your attention should be set on a single system that has appeared." Cer'ce spoke out, calling for her attention to an on-screen display. It was information on a certain scanning/targeting system that came from the allied Frame. "Eve to Martyr, what is up with this targeting system?" She spoke over the comm, surprised at the level of advanced capabilities. With it she may very well be capable of quick locking the four-point barriers to be where she needs it, and even at the proper size within seconds.


Strike Support


"Cer'ce, integrate the targeting system and prime all devices, ready for rapid deployments of the four point barrier. I want any and all frames approaching the broadside to be protected, let's make sure the barriers are condensed enough to receive minimal energy leek whilst fully protecting those frames. Furthermore, with remaining power ready for a widespread four point to net whatever may come from those missile ships. We will need to be quick with all point tracking, so you better not hold back. You even have a little support in determining those points. And remember, do not deploy as to interfere with allied Strikes, only to protect them." With systems primed, Eve began her operation.


[ Results ] 2 Bladesman rendered incapable of further combat, Strike Support on Broadside. Light-Medium wound on left side, left leg rotors have been jammed due to armor damage.

Milton tried to pull away when the Broadside turned and fired a shot in his direction but it was too late to escape completely unscathed. He forced the FRAME into overdrive and move as far away as he could manage in the short span of time before he got hit by the blast when an energy shield suddenly popped up in front of him, shielding him from the blast but not preventing Ghost Mode from shutting down as he became fully visible again. Before Milton could react, a rifle blast struck him in the back, giving him a light wound on the back. Next thing he knew, all ships had their flak cannons targeting him and firing. He reacted quickly, trying to manoeuvre his way out of range from all the blasts but it was an impossible task and Phantom got singed in several places, giving Milton another three light wounds, one on his right shoulder, another on his elbow at the same arm and one on his leg. Once out of range, Milton combined the two halves of his chakram into one and returned his attention to the Broadside, more determined than ever to defeat it. He activated energy mode once again when shield power returned and launched another attack on the Broadside.


Focus Strike


Milton flew towards the Broadside again, pulling his right arm as far back as possible before flinging it forward and throwing the charged chakram at the Broadside. He pulled back slightly, readying himself to charge full speed after the chakram struck.

(SORRY IN A RUSH POWER HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND OFF)


as Sam saw more Of those small mechs coming he would insult mentally,they suck and are weak why would they even try if they are Gonna die,but as he did he would see a Barrage of Missiles heading towards him,geating ready he would slide backwards and doge as much missiles as possible,most miss and some Fall Very close,But 3 manage to slip and Grace him,2 explode near Very close staggering him as the last one manages to Hit his left leg reasiving a light wound,the plate on his Legs had manage to hold off most of the damage but dint do much,Sam would raise is head and as he did,"Monsoon! Lock on the Missile Boat! Lets give it some of his own medicine!"He said as monsoon would reply "Energy shield is weakenetration chance on armor are medium at 68.9%"Sam would stop and look towards the missile boat that attack him,a Lock on would Pop up on the missile boat as it slowli lock on,each passing second a beep would be heard as the ADMM are being set ready.as he did he would hear one of his team mates...that he dosent know name of...saying she would try and shut down a missle boat "Huh....Just hope her brain dosent get fried.or someting heheeh..well this is a simulation"he said as soon the Lock on was ready.





"Launching Concentrated Missile fire at Missile boat 2!" he said via comm to his team mates,The 2 Hatches would Open as 3 Missiles slowli expose themselfs as sam would grin and say "Not so fast are ya,stupied Boat!!..Monsoon concentrate all missiles in one area! Circle pattern!"he said as 3 ADMM would be fired Up high towards the heavens! but as soon they reach maybe 500 feet they would split each in 6 mini Missiles a total of 18,the missiles would begin there aproche but getting in a circular formation,as they got closer they close the formation getting closer and closer slowly,all to Hit on specific spot and not scatter on the target,Sams plan was to weak some point on the missile boat to create some weak spot or penetrate the hull...He just hope the shield is down before they get there.


the hatch close as he would look forward and would sigh as thees stupid weak mechs aproche,raising his Rifle he would unload one bullet on each of there heads taking down 5 of them.


Reasive one light wound


5 sword mechs down


18 Micro Missiles task to weaken a spot on the missile boat by concentrating on one specific spot.

Even through all the fighting, the missile boats open up to fire another three salvos each, a total of 1600 missiles (1200 launched, 400 en route) now speeding towards the planet. "Damnit! Riders, communicate!" Yells Sergeant Gorgon through the comms, even as he turned Titan Killers railcannons to blasting clusters of explosives out of the vacuum, but there were too many, even when Dunni Hushion helped him using Supernova's suncannon. "Hey, Guys? Can we do as the sergeant says? He can be scary when he gets angry." Came a soft, hesitant voice, quickly overcome by a chirpy, enthusiastic voice from Yalei Miribo, rider of the Iron Wall. "He really can, can't he? Sergeant, shield power is almost full, but it won't be ready for this first group." She says, even as she draws her dual pistols and fires them so quickly it seems like they are automatics.


< @Demonsoul >


Seeing as the Chelicerata popped back into existance within the Broadside's shield barrier, it was no surprise that the flak cannons near her turned and blasted her, dealing 2 light wounds and a light-medium wound. But this was not able to stop her forward momentum, allowing her to land on top of the vessel, near the middle...


[ 10 Flak cannons in range (mooks) Hull (Elite) Comms system (Elite) ]


[ 5 Kills and a strike, or a focus strike ; or take a turn to move to a different segment. Take a Light wound ]


< @Xeyran >


Milton's chakram easily slices through a flak cannon on the hull of the broadside, ricocheting off the hull and returning to his hand as he charges forward...


[ 19 Flak cannons in range (mooks) Hull (Elite) ]


[ 5 Kills and a strike, or a focus strike ; or take a turn to move to a different segment. Take a Medium wound ]


< @Aggiewon @Kel Vas @Runesage >


The trio of FRAMEs is quite effective, two of them keeping Splinter mecha off of Eve as she concentrated on keeping missiles from impacting the asteroids or worse, getting through and hitting the planet itself.


[Take a light-medium wound each]


[ @Kel Vas can forfeit her attacks to focus on her shielding and knock down the missile number by150 ]


< @Anaxial >


The final shell of alloy metal impacts the shields, making them finally begin to flicker, but still not breaching them completely


[Take a medium wound]


< @CalamariHero >


Lumi's defensive measures proved effective, the winged FRAME taking no more damage as Sini's broadcast manages to take down the missile boat's shields...


[Take a light-medium wound]


< @Daimao >


As Alexi flitted about, he would notice that the enemies couldn't keep up, and kept missing with ranged weapons. Or this was what it seemed to be. In truth, they had just lured him into a web, a bladesman locking his arms to his side as he faced a firing squad of riflemen.


[ Alexi is pinned and must take a medium wound this turn ]


The 500mm shell once again did its duty, speeding through the downed shields to impact the hull of the missile boat, blowing a good chunk of armor off, unfortunately doing not much damage...


< @Yonsisac >


...Which wasn't a problem, as the micro missiles, along with Alexi's missiles, impact one after another in that same spot, which happens to bring the final missile into the ammo bay of the boat, effectively blowing half of the ship off and taking it out of commision.


< @Kirito Kei >


Kaito also finds himself in trouble, completely surrounded once again and this time unable to move as a swordsman keeps him in a hold, blades guns and missiles all aimed towards him, the foolish rider so deep into enemy territory...


[ Kaito is pinned and must take a medium-heavy wound[


[240 Swordsmen (Mook - Sword and Shield) 220 Bladesman (Mook - Two Swords) 220 Riflemen (Mook - Rifle) 175 MIssile Mecha (Mook - MIssile Launcher)]


[broadside (Boss) 1 Missile Boats (Miniboss) {low shields}]


[1450 missiles heading towards the planet]


[IF NOT GIVEN OTHER DIRECTIVES - up to 30 kills, 15 and a strike, or a focus strike]


[Pinned - Unable to take any action other than communicate until freed (unless I approve)]

(Is this ok?)


"F*** YEA! MISSILE BOAT DOWN!"


"Missile Boat out of Order Sam"


Sam saw his missile took the Missile boat down,Making him Throw his fist up in the air in success,Now that is what jack can do! Looking as the boat dies down he would hear the fake Gorgon say to communicate-SEE THAT WAS SAM WAS TRYING TO DO IN THE BEGINNING! But now they needed to communicate before the gorgon turns them to stone! he nod his head and would say Via COMM "Yes sir!"He said with a smile on hos face as this was a pice of cake! and speaking of cake seems one FRAME slice was in Trouble,sam dint know a Thing till his soul speaks "Sam FRAME "The Ghost" Has been identified to be in Trouble from my Localization of Members,Marking now" As monsoon finish on Sams vision a mark would appear Through the hoard of Frames the dangerd frame,but that name sound very families like he heard it before "The ghost?....Sounds familiar...alright! lets go assist!" as sam said this he would turn towards the Hoard of Frames and soon communicate the pilot Via COMM and as well this means the rest could hear.





"This is Sam! FRAME "Ghost" Requires help!! Im heading to in to assist"He said as the alarm would beep for a Moment as Over 500 Marks appear over where they all are....are...those missiles?! They were Over a Million! Not really but still Sams screen was coverd in tags as he look up "Holy Toast....This is bad....If we dont help that frame in time it will be toast like all of us,Monsoon! Double Time!"He said as his Thrusters would egnite and begin its way towards the Frame,as he did the Hatch on his shoulder would Open and fire one single missile that instead of flying away just slide out,Sam would grab the None-Ignited missile in the FRAMES Right hand as his left had the spinning FBC,Soon once near the many enemies that where blocking his way,he would begin to hack and slash his way Taking down One by One that came in us way,Taking down 11 but soon he would raise his right and and shove the Missile inside one of the Frames Head,only to draw his weapon,Kick it away with the rest and Fire at the missile Making it explode 6 Times as the payload was still inside taking down 4 Frames in the cluster Blast,Continue his way he would be now near the Target.But as he did he was Hack by a swords men taking a Light wound As the armorer protected him


He saw few missile Frames not far aiming at the down Allie FRAME,he would Fire a Missile towards them as it clusters to 6 Taking down 5 as the Other missile Misses and Fly,s away "Hey! No time for sleeping!"Sam said towards Kaito Via COMM,as the massive FBC would slice Over im taking down 7 Frames that where Over him,a Total off 27 Being Taken down "You can stand? we dont-"Sam was Cut Off as a Barrage of Bullets hits Left side,Sparks Fly as some sink in the armor or deflect but some penetrate and do damage,But not just his left side but his chest Giving sam a Light-Medium wound,Raising his Rifle he would take down the 3 Riffle Frame who shot him as he would stand beside The down FRAME "As i said we dont have Time you can stand up?"





Feels Accomplish for Taking down a Missile Boat


Assisting @Kirito Kei


Took down 22 Swords men


Took down 5 missile Frames


Took down 3 Rifle men


Took a Light-Medium Wound and a Light wound

As Alexei watched the missile boat turn into a firework, he grinned. That is, until an enemy mech grabbed him from behind. "Shit," Alexei grumbled. The enemy was holding him too tight for him to move his arms, and he couldn't fire missiles without damaging himself. To make things worse, a bunch of riflemen were shooting at him. This was bad, the Lucifer wasn't meant to fight in the thick of things, it was designed to be long range support. He had to get out of this situation quick.


"Alexei, it appears that there is comm chatter. Would you like to activate your comms?" Yorick asked cheerfully.


"What? They aren't already on?"


"Correct."


"Turn them on."


"-ders, communicate!" Alexei almost burst out in laughter. So that was why everyone was so strangely quiet.


"Heyyyyy guys, I'm in a wee bit of a pickle here," Alexei chuckled over the comms, even as a rifleman shot a hole in the Lucifer's right eye. "Shit," Alexei mumbled as the sensors in the right eye went offline. "Some assistance would be fantastic." With that, Alexei fired the 500mm cannon, blowing the rifleman who had shot him to smithereens.


"Gauss cannons charged to 85%," Yorick informed him. A noticeable electric-blue glow could be seen emanating from the twin cannons on the Lucifer's shoulders. "They should be ready to fire soon."


[1 Medium Wound, 1 dead rifleman, Gauss Cannons almost charged; Alexei would love some help]

The broadcast ended. Sini took a quick glance at the remaining missile boat, revealing that the shields were, in fact, downed. Sini quickly scanned the logs that she received during the communication. It appeared as if the only significant system affected was the shield. It wasn't as much as Sini hoped for, but it was certainly more than enough to make it a sitting duck. She promptly toggled her comm systems back to her own team, only to hear her angered commander shouting at everyone to communicate, preceding a short back and forth from Dunni and Yalei about how angry the commander could get. Sini obliged the commander's orders, and began speaking via the comm system to the entire group.


"Well, Gorgon" Sini began, "You may be happy to hear that the remaining missile boat has been effectively reduced to nothing more than a sitting duck. It's shields are downed, and it will likely take quite a while to start them back up. I suggest that at least one person focuses their attacks on it until it has been downed completely."





Sini took back the controls from Lumi and circled around to face the defenseless missile boat from a distance. She shut off the engines, and cut peripheral power. She then activated the idle four fuel cells. She intended to fire several rounds directly into the hull of the ship.





"Sini?" Lumi chimed in, "Are you sure you want to do that again? You'll overheat again. Space isn't good for your FRAME."





"Yes. It is worth it." Sini quickly replied, aiming her railgun carefully, "How many shots do you think I can fire successively before cracking the rail? All 12 remaining shots?" The combined heat and friction of firing her weapons often cause damage to them, but Sini was not worried about such things. They needed to be replaced often, anyway. Not to mention, it is just a simulation. The rail began to grow hot with electric current when a round was loaded into the gun. It immediately flew out of the rail, whizzing toward the missile ship, followed by 7 more rounds. as the ninth round was shot, it cracked the rail, sending it slightly astray. More importantly, however, the railgun was unusable. To Sini's dismay, her back was struck with a violently sharp pain between the shoulders when the rail cracked. She hunched over, slamming her fist down on the controls in pain. She had forgotten that her nervous system was connected to the FRAME. The pain began to fade, but would likely be persistent through the remainder of the battle.


Lumi chimed in once more, "I warned you. Be careful, and quit being so rash. It's unlike you."





"I haven't actually fought anything before in real combat. I keep forgetting that this is connected to my nerves." Sini replied, justifying her actions. She proceeded to cut the excess power, down to two cells. She was going to resume her flying, to stay out of harm.





[Focus Strike -- 8 shots toward the unarmed missile boat. Medium-Heavy damage to main railgun.]

Eyes turned to the sky as the Missile Boat erupted into a fireball! Arden gave out a cheer over the communications and threw a victorious fist in the air.


"Alright folks, we're making ground! Keep up the pressure, watch each others backs!" He said returning to his controls. The Perfect King was once again surrounded by Swordsmen and in Arden's overconfidence of his FRAME's armor, completely ignored the swarms around him for a moment to turn his Bulletstorm to the sky, the barrel was still hot but no longer glowed red hot. In an instant they began spinning and a massive stream of heavy caliber death flew up into the air at sub-sonic speeds, tearing into the massive missile salvo flying towards the surface.The gun fired reliably for 30 seconds, streaming into the sky and destroying missiles, missile explosions destroying more missiles, it was like fireworks in the sky.


However, in his hubris, the Swordsmen manage to pierce the armor of the Perfect King, the blade driving through the chest cavity of the FRAME, almost piercing to Arden's cockpit. The FRAME stuttered a bit and Perfect King gave a damage analysis;


"Lieutenant Commander, I have sustained a significant hull breach, I suggest we escape this horde before more damage is done." said the elegant, yet monotone voice of the SOUL inside. Arden said nothing but immediately locked his FRAME's legs down and frog leaped up and out of the horde of Swordsmen, Arden aimed the M4 Menoceras at the ground below him and unleashed a savage salvo of 6 missiles into the crowd.


"The shields on the Broadside are flickering, someone hit it hard and we can bring it down, if that thing fires on us, its game over!" Arden called out as his FRAME descended back to the surface and crashed several yards away from the encroaching horde of Swordsmen.


Results- Missile Destruction, a large payload of bullets was sent into the missiles approaching the Surface. [15] Swordsmen were tron'd into virtual dust by a few heavy hitting missiles.

"God dammit! Get off me you mindless robots!"


All Kaito could do was yell in anger as a swordsmen restrained him from moving. Not too long after he had freed himself from the last sticky situation, he had been caught off guard by a group of mechs. Somehow they managed to stay just outside his sensor range and waited until he was preoccupied with something else. This strategy worked flawlessly because one of them managed to restrain him while the others trained their weapons on him.


Seeing that their was almost no other course of action, X decided to chime in. "Multiple enemy weapon systems are locked on and preparing to fire. Would you like to engage M.E.C.H Wing overdrive?"


Engaging M.E.C.H Wing overdrive would be futile. In the seconds that it would take for him to activate it, he would be blown to smithereens. Yup, the best thing he could do was hope for the best. After all, it wasn't like he was really going to get hurt, it was a simulation. "No pain, no gain I suppose." Kaito could see the weapon systems of the enemy mechs heat up. In a last desperate attempt for survival, he feebly raised his off-hand shield. Countless bullets and missiles connected with Kaito's FRAME all at one causing a shockwave strong enough to knock him unconscious. 'Dammit. To think I was bested by a simulation...'


After a few moments, Kaito's eyes fluttered open. As his HUD flickered back to life, he noticed a giant monstrosity of a FRAME. It seemed to have some sort of mechanical contraption in it's back. "X, run full system diagnostic and, activate comms, it seems we have a badass over here..."


"As I said we don't have Time you can stand up?"





Kaito recognized the voice from somewhere but couldn't quite place it. Whoever he was, he seemed to be capable enough to save Kaito's hide so maybe he was worth enough to grovel at Kaito's feet. "All systems are functional, however entire right arm is inoperable. Immediate repair is recommended." X's mechanical voice rang throughout the cockpit. Yes, ever since he regain consciousness, Kaito could barely feel his right arm at all.


"Heh, I would say thanks for the assist, however this is a simulation so nothing that happens here matters. Who are you exactly?" Kaito questioned, ignoring all other comm traffic.


[RESULTS: Sustained medium-heavy wound rendering entire right arm unusable for the rest of combat]


@Yonsisac

(Was that...a Borderlands reference? xD "we have a badass over here..." )


As Markov save this FRAME he would see more coming towards them,he hold his FBC tightly as they were gonna come soon,as he did he would hear the COMM speaking to life as he heard who seem the Pilot of the FRAME he just saved,his voice was very familiar but still maybe when they got out of this dam simulation he would know,he heard him say he would say thanks but this is just a simulation...and? even if its a simulation last thing they would want is a Commander screaming at them for not giving all they got,he would look over his shoulder towards the FRAME and respond as he ask Sams name "Im sam....Jetstream Sam...and for the record i would say the same but still we would need to show how we would act in real combat...I mean last thing i would whant is a screaming Commander or something hehehe!"He said as the last part was little Joking manner,Sam would not care eather but we have Mr.Gorgon over there and seems very strict,Imaging Messing up a plan when he is around? yea so better do all they got so nothing goes wrong,and like the Other FRAMES with Gorgon said "You don't whant to see him angry"


"Sam This frame.....the Triple A is a Unique FRAME tipe with a Limited amount ever to exist....If my Calculations are correct from past database records we have seen this frame before as i have info on it"Monsoon said...so they have...still he dosent know maybe when they are out of here they will,but for now lets concentrate on not getting um..."Killd" "well anyway Chit Chat latter,right now its better we dont feel Intence Pain...As far i can tell u are not in best shape so better get ya patch up"


@Kirito Kei

"What the hell! I've never known any missile boats to launch that many rockies in do short a time!"


"This is more than a simulation for practice, this is a test of compatibility. Sergeant Gorgon most likely set up this mission to be impossible alone."


Alexander explained to Falco. He wants to play that way, huh?


"Very well, let's play his game." Falco responded with his signature smirk.


"Open up all comms, if they haven't been fried."


At that moment Falco's screen flared into a blaze of light. For several moments he couldn't see anything but he did feel sharp pain in his right shoulder, most likely another rifle shot. "What was that!"


"It appears to have been one of the missile barges, blowing up this time not firing. Opening comms."


His ears were assaulted by a cacophony of voices. There was one he could hear above the rest, it was the sergeant yelling for communication.


"I think you caught on Zander!" He winced as he tried to adjust to the sudden noise. "Limit the volume of all the other Riders other than the ones that are within range of assistance."


"There is one young man that could use your help. He is right in front of you, in that mass of swordsmen."


"Hey Sheildy! I think you can handle this now that you gave some weapons. I'm going to try to help that guy who's being eaten alive. I would appreciate some cover fire, if you can spare it."


Falco darted away, once again following a completely random path. His infrared cams also helped him dodge missiles, since they appeared to be blazing balls of light on his monitors. Weaving in and out of the oncoming projectiles he tried to slice as many as possible as they passed, successfully destroying fifteen. He then sliced through a line of riflemen that were firing on the helpless FRAME, but his right arm locked due to the bullet it had received. Sliding through the remaining mooks he decapitated the swordsmen that was pinning his fellow Rider.


"That sure made his head spin!"l


Results:15 missiles, 14 riflemen and 1 swordsman destroyed.

Milton could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins and his excitement rise as his weapon damaged the flak cannon on the hull of the Broadside and returned to his hand for the charge. However another flak cannon beam struck him yet again, from behind, giving Milton a medium wound on his lower right torso. Milton fought back the reflex to clutch the wounded area as Alcius calmly informed him that he had a total of 19 flak cannons on him, amongst which was a Hull, while continuing his assault on the Broadside. Suffering from a medium wound took a toll on his movements as he tried to keep up speed but found it beginning to drop and the Phantom flying closer to the ground than he had intended. He uttered a curse before ordering Alcius to open up communications, gritting his teeth as he continued to charge at the Broadside. He couldn't afford to let this chance slip by now that it had been damaged and he wasn't going to let any mooks or Hull get in his way. "I need back up! There's 19 flak cannons on me and a blasted hull in the mix!" He barked over the communications as he sped towards the Broadside, speed dropping to two thirds of its maximum because of the wounds he had already sustained and another light wound from a flak cannon blast that scorched the side of his right leg, eliciting another curse from Milton as tried to ignore the combined pain of his wounds.


Focus Strike


Forced to drop closer to ground level while trying to maintain his current speed, Milton decided to launch his second focus strike against the Broadside's lower half, shield up and ready to reduce the risk of him sustaining another crippling wound. He readied his chakram for the moment when he passed the Broadside to tear into the machine's armour once again.

Comms came in waves after the Sergeant yelled, allowing Eve to eye the name of the other Riders in attempt to quickly recognize their voices. Two friendlies were being pinned, one of which was being assisted by Sam. From the cheer of Arden, and the flaming debris it was easy to recognize that a Missile ship has gone done, as well further chatter proved that the other was successfully rendered vulnerable. So the issue was that last allied Frame that was pinned.


"Hey Shieldy! I think you can handle this now that you gave some weapons. I'm going to try to help that guy who's being eaten alive. I would appreciate some cover fire, if you can spare it." Falco spoke, bringing ease to her mind as she did not have to respond to the distress call herself.


"I will provide cover fire, but I hold no promises on actually hitting anything." Eve spoke, ignoring the fact that she was called shieldy. It was then that a sudden pain could be felt on her right leg, the frame barely shacking as it took another hit.


"Burst thrusters on the right have been compromised." Cer'ce spoke, reporting the damages.


"I am going to end up a sitting duck out here, I swear." She sighed, "Let's give this weapon a go and aide the Alexander with cover fire."


"I need back up! There's 19 flak cannons on me and a blasted hull in the mix!" Another call for aide rang across the calm, freezing Eve mid fire. The voice came from the Phantom, who was rapidly approaching the broadside. Without hesitation, she chose once more to go back to her prime objective, supporting those who were nearest the broadside.


"Ready four-points for deployment nearest the phantom. I don't want a single round piercing that frame, do you hear me Cer'ce?"


Results: Light-medium wound, compromising the right burst thrusters. Focused Support on the Phantom.

Chelicerata took fire as it latched onto the massive ship. "See this is what happens when you get more armor, armor doesn't fucking help!" Catalyst shouted at Enlina. The scorpion proceeded to tear at the hull ripping it apart and the large FRAME burrowed into it. Those inside who somehow survived that vacuum and lack of oxygen so high up were incinerated by a blast a heat from Chelicerata while it made its way inside the machine its tail got hit by one last shot of the flak cannons before vanishing from their aim. Enlina made her FRAME unleash a EMP blast inside of the broad side shutting off a section of its power.


Results: 3 light wounds, 1 medium light wound, focus strike into the hull of the broadside, EMP blast inside of the broadside.

"Keh keh keh! It's finally time~!" Grinn looked at the pods, "In ya go my little Kamizabu!" she uploaded her FRAME to the system.


Grinn opened up one of the pods and climbed inside. "Oy! Kushina? Ya in here?" She said with a wide grin.


"Ah! Grinn! Haven't seen you for a while! Where is this?" Kushina was looking around in the pod.


"Oh, we're in a training simulator or somethin', anyways take me to the battlefield!" her trigger finger was itching for some action.


Kushina made a salute, "Gotcha captain!", she entered in some numbers on a pad and the both of them were in the S01 SZ Kamizabu falling into the battlefield.


Grinn laughed, "Keh heh heh heh!", she started firing her gatling guns on her descent, injuring 10 mooks and knocking them down from the aerial assault.


The FRAME hit the ground and Grinn stood there as the mooks glitched around trying to recover.


"Grinn the Grim Reaper is here!" she shouted into the comms, as she spun her guns shooting multiple magazines worth of bullets around taking out the ten mooks.


Results: 10 mooks killed with hundreds of bullet holes on each. 95% ammo left.

Ace sneaks behind the line of fifteen foes and coming out of camo mode when he get to his desired distance and switches his gun to burst mode and says in a low voice" Acid rounds my partner and hit them where it hurts". chameleon loads up the rounds with in twenty seconds, the rounds are swiftly loaded into the gun and fires six acid rounds all hit targets not long after all one can hear is.


",Ah group of fifteen it hurts so much this is clearly not normal acid some kind of home made shit, I want to die but the acid is slowly melting away my flash and I can't do bugger all to stop it". before have their flesh burnt off over the span of ten minutes thrashing around in extreme pain before finally dieing.


Ace smirked and said" that's right bigger isn't always better in this case especially so that's the price you pay for screwing with my teammates".


in ace's mind that so loud it's kinda annoying but they did a good job then time so no need to pick a fight with them, I have plenty of ammo so I don't have to worry about having to get more anytime soon


Result 15 mooks splash damage 94 percent ammo left

Akira was at the controls of Fenrir, running his regular diagnostics when the simulation alert caught his eye. Akira had been recently transferred from the Ascendant to the StarRunner and it was actually an improvement. More advanced equipment more luxuries, better crew. The only reason Akira was here because he was because of his abilities as an engineer rather than as a rider. He decided he needed to prove himself.


Drake, can you patch me into the simulation?


Drake appeared in his physical form and for a second he continued diagnostics.


I can. Why do you want to do a simulation? to prove how good you actually are?


Actually...Yes.


*sigh* What would you do without me?


Akira grinned as Drake's shell spun for few seconds indicating he was working. Soon after the ready signal pinged. Akira put on his flight suit, activated the simulation mode on his FRAME and said a quick prayer.


He entered the simulation relatively far from the main fight, but lose enough to a medium sized ranged group composed of 30 Mooks. He prepped his weapon systems and took out his Ark-117s. He flew towards the battle at an extremely fast speed, firing beams at enemy mechas. He managed to shoot about 10 enemy mechas before getting close enough for his arm blades to be effective.


4 Rifle Mooks, 5 Swords Mooks and a Missile Mooks down. Ammo at 95%. You should be doing better


Akira scowled as the arm blades unfolded and Fenrir dived into a swarm of Rifle Mooks, catching them off guard and throwing them into confusion as they desperately tried to hit Fenrir, only to hit themselves.


7 Rifle Mooks directly killed, 12 others were gunned down by their friends. They need to hit the shooting range.


This time Akira smiled and said, With this accuracy, i wouldn't be surprised if they killed each other at the shooting range. As he threw a Gungnir into the chest of a Mook taking aim.


Though the probability is low, i can see it happening.


Result: 4 Rifle Mooks, 5 Swordsman Mooks, 1 Missile Mook shot down by beams, 7 Rifle Mooks sliced open, 12 Rifle Mooks shot by their teammates, 1 Rifle Mook disabled with a knife through the cockpit. 95% Ammo, 1 Gungnir Knife Missing
