<Sandwitches> There is a flash...  and suddenly a certain White Lionesque Mecha finds itself tumbling through space, both of its pilots out of their senses...


<Basara_Syl> "Nnngh.. the heck?" Arturia says as she shakes off the feeling and grips the controls. "C'mon Gunleon, let's get moving." She attempts to get the white mecha moving properly once again.



<Sandwitches> The machine responds sluggishly to her controlls, slowly moving forward as her sub-pilot starts to awake.  "...  What happened..."  Mordred groans.

<Basara_Syl> "I'm not sure.. there was that sudden flash and now we're.. somewhere.." Arturia spoke, wincing a little as she checks the monitors. What in the world just happened? Wasn't they just..?



<Sandwitches> "I...  can't find the Shokaku on sensors...  I can't find ANYONE on sensors..."  He shakes his head.   "... What was that thing?"



<Basara_Syl> "I'm not sure.. whatever it was, it was powerful." Arturia frowns as she too confirms that there's no one there. "Well this is a right mess we've gotten ourselves into. Spread out the sensor range to max, see if you can find something, anything out there."



<Sandwitches> "Right...  It's a good thing, we got Gunleons sensors upgraded to GGasK specs before the voyage..."  He mutters as he transfers power to the sensors and sets things in motion.  "Doing a System wide scan... now."



<Basara_Syl> Tapping the controls, Arturia thinks back on what happened and wonders if everyone is okay. This is definitely not a good predicament so she'll have to get their bearings quickly.



<Sandwitches> "...  We're defeintely not in the Sol System anymore.  I'm not sure where we are, but I'm only picking up 6 systems, as well as a yellow star."  He looks around at the information a bit.  "... I'm getting some strange energy readins however."



<Basara_Syl> "Strange energy readings? Like what?" Arturia asked, arching an eyebrow. It just gets weirder and weirder. Now they're not even in the Sol System anymore..



<Sandwitches> "I'm not sure...  It's not an energy type I'm fami-!"  Mordred nearly leaps out of his seat.  "In the middle of the energy readings...  I just caught the Granteeds IFF!"



<Basara_Syl> "What?! Where?!" Arturia exclaimed, her heart leaping in her chest. This was the first bit of good news she heard!



<Sandwitches> "About Twenty Degrees to the left...  I'll put the direction on your Display, you just follow the arrows."  He says, and a arrow pointing off into the distance appears on Arturias main screen.



<Basara_Syl> Arturia nods and grips the controls, nudging Gunleon into motion. "C'mon Gunleon, work with me now.." She murmurs, heading towards the Granteed as quickly as she can.



* Anti-Goth has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)



<Sandwitches> After about ten minutes, Gunleons Cameras finally start to pick up signs of the events unfolding before them.



<Sandwitches> Granteed seems to be attempting to defend a purpleish feminine mech with wings, no head, and eyes where its breasts are.  It seems to be fighting about a dozen other headless mecha all of which seem to be working together with a surprising amount of teamwork...  And are lead by something that looks like a Giant Metal Banana.



<Sandwitches> In the distance, two massive ships, one which looks somewhat humanoid, and another than looks like a massive Centipede appear to be duking it out as well.



<Sandwitches> "...  I wish I could say this is the wierdest thing I've ever walked in on."  Mordred groans.

* Stealthyboy is now known as Stealthychef



<Basara_Syl> Arturia chuckles softly and does a quick systems check to see if they're battle ready enough to join in. "Y'know my son, weird is a daily life for us these days." Arturia speaks before hailing the Granteed. "Ooooi, in a spot of trouble are ya?"



<RickDominated> "I don't believe it...my day only keeps improving..." Well, that's certainly the right pilot, the machine straining as it locks fists with a two bodied machine, before leveraging it up and over it'self in a burst of green particles that weren't standard before. "Arturia! Gods...I thought I'd never hear from anyone else again...!"



<Sandwitches> "Is that really her Daddy?"  a girls voice comes over the line with Kojiro.  "Is that aunite Arturia?"



<RickDominated> "I dunno...are you real?" He chuckles, Granteed's eyes flashing. "I hope to hell you are, Arturia."



<Basara_Syl> "Don't worry, I am real. What's going on, Kojiro? What exactly am I looking at here?" Arturia asked, then paused. "..Is that Calvina..?"



<Basara_Syl> Shaking her head, Arturia realized she was chatting in the middle of battle. "Wait, hold that thought. We'll talk after we've cleared out these.. weird mecha." She says as she charges into battle.



<RickDominated> "Long story...one of several...but I've kinda fallen in with some people these last couple of months..." Her IFF Pings, painting around half the units as Blue for Friendly. "And I've got no idea myself!"



<Sandwitches> "KOJIRO!  Who is that?  Why'd you register it's IFF as friendly?"  A new and QUITE angry sounding female voice tears over the comms.



<Basara_Syl> Last couple of months..? That can't be right. Arturia thought to herself, frowning. Either way, she needed to prepare for battle. "Mordred! We're going in!" She yelled, bringing the giant wrench to bear. "Calm down lady, Kojiro and I have history."



<Sandwitches> "A *HISTORY*!?"  That just seems to rile up the voice even more.  "What *KIND* of history!?"



<RickDominated> "...Later, we'll go LATER."



<Sandwitches> "Oooooooh no, you're not wiggling out of THIS one, you Mongrel!"  The woman growls.



<RickDominated> "I can't win for losing around here... She's a friend...just...trust me on this one."



<Basara_Syl> Arturia rolled her eyes with a smirk. "Do you honestly want to do this during a battle? A warrior needs focus!" Arturia spoke as she engaged the nearest mech that didn't register as a friendly.



<Sandwitches> The Nearest non-friendly appears to be the yellow machine, which barely manages to dodge away from her attack...   "Mother we have an incoming hail."



<Basara_Syl> "Answer it." Arturia says, turning the mech to face the yellow machine again.



<Sandwitches> He does so, and a new male voice comes over hte line.  "Hey, who the hell are you?!"



<Basara_Syl> "Your people are attacking my friend, so I'm gonna help him. Simple yes?" Arturia speaks, waiting for the yellow mech to make a move.



<RickDominated> "They're always like this apparently..."



<Sandwitches> "Attacking HIM?!  You beatmen have been hunting us for years!"



<Basara_Syl> "Beastman? I'm hardly a beastman. And I just got here so HOW could I be hunting you for years?" Arturia asked crossly, then looked over to Kojiro. "Kojiro, what exactly is going on here?!"



<RickDominated> "The ones I'm with are a race of animal people...or something close. These are people who are fighting against them... Human, as far as I can tell. Arturia, w're a LONG way from home.



<Basara_Syl> "Oh geez.. what the heck?!" Arturia grimaces, running a hand through her hair. "So why exactly are the beast people hunting the human-like people?"



* NHO has quit (Quit: Net fault.)



<Sandwitches> "Becuase these Mongrels killed Tymilph!" The Rage filled female voice roars over the comms.  "If you are really an ally of Kojiros then you MUST HELPL US KILL THEM *ALL*!"



<Sandwitches> "Don't listen to her, Those Damn Beastmen have been attacking our planet for years!  We're not sure why."  the mans voice counters.



<Basara_Syl> "Oh my god, what have we walked into?" Groans Arturia as she facepalms. "Kojiro, can I see you for a sec? Seriously, get over here."



<RickDominated> "Yeah, this has been like this for a year now... you actually are JUST what we need..."



<Basara_Syl> Arturia sighs and shakes her head. "Alright, who do I gotta beat up for there to be peace?" She says aloud.



<RickDominated> "It might just have to be all of them." He Deadpans.



<Basara_Syl> "...Great." Arturia mutters, tapping a finger against the controls. "Alright, now since I'm human, do you think the beast forces will have a problem with me, Kojiro?"

<Sandwitches> "Well Adiane likes Daddy a lot..."  Calvina chimes in.



<Basara_Syl> "Noted."



<RickDominated> "Understatement. This is all about...Revenge...its' not healthy...no ones died here today...I'd like to keep it that way." He says quietly.



<Basara_Syl> "Ahh great, well in that case I'll not attack as I'm not fond of holding back. I'll hear your side of this story first, then listen to theirs."



* Anthy ([email protected]) has joined #SRWG



<RickDominated> "My side? Not much too it...I've been hear a year now...already....damn..." He shakes his head. "And we've uh...grown close, I guess. Adiane and I. She took in Calvina and I...but she's uh..a firecracker, got to watch out for that...so don't hurt her, please."



<Basara_Syl> "I mean in the sense of the side you're on. I'll hear what they've got to say before doing anything." Arturia replied with a light chuckle. "Regardless I'll keep your words in mind."



<RickDominated> "Oh...well, I'm kinda...cemented here with the Beastmen for now."



<Sandwitches> Calvina giggles.



<RickDominated> "....I'll explain in more detail than that later."



<Sandwitches> And that jsut causes MORe giggles.



<Basara_Syl> "Mmm." Arturia replies, then turns to the yellow mech. "You in the tastily shaped machine. I'll be back to hear your side of this story, so look out for me."



<Sandwitches> "... The hell is going on here?"  The Yellow machine pilto growls.



<Basara_Syl> "That's what I'm going to find out." Arturia replies.



<Athon> "Waaaaaa. Wait wait wait wait!" A new voice invades the communicators, filling the air with cheerfulness. "What are you thinking, starting something without me!?"



<Basara_Syl> "..Eh?"



<RickDominated> "...huh?"



<Sandwitches> "... Nono-oneesama?!"  Calvina lets out a cheer.



<Athon> A small person floats to the shoulder of one of the mechs, pink hair shinning on the 0G of the space. "Nono has arrived!"



* GilliamYaeger ([email protected]) has joined #SRWG



<RickDominated> "...What are you doing here...?"



<Athon> "Nono is always where nono is needed! After all, that's what Nonoriri would do herself!"



<Basara_Syl> "Oh dear.."



<Basara_Syl> "Is anyone else going to show up?" Arturia idly asked aloud.



<RickDominated> "I'm not going to complain, really."



<Athon> Nono smiles, crossing her arms in front of her chest, her antenna standing up. "Well! What are we waiting for?"



<Basara_Syl> "We're not gonna be doing any fighting."



<Sandwitches> An explosion rocks space as the large centipede like ship in the distance shudders as a hole forms in it....  before it explodes.



<Sandwitches> "What?!" The angry woman sounds... qute confused.



<Basara_Syl> "Oh dear.. this can't be good." Arturia murmurs, turning Gunleon towards the explosion.



<RickDominated> "The hell....!?"



<Sandwitches> The other Ship is smashed back, as both groups of mecha stop and turn towards the direction of the explosion...



<Sandwitches> Far in the Distance...  A Massive length seems to be heading towards...  a space station of some sort.



<Basara_Syl> "The heck..?"



<Athon> Nono enormous eyes widen, gleaming as her mouth hangs in awe.



<Sandwitches> "No.... No, no, no, no, no...."  Adaine's voice breaks, and then switches to a fierce tone.  "ALL BEASTMEN, BREAK OFF THE HUMANS, WE CAN'T LET THAT REACH THE STATION!"



<Sandwitches> "I REPEAT, ALL BEASTMEN, BREAK OFF, AND TARGET THE SPACE MONSTER!"



<Sandwitches> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


<Sandwitches> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Sandwitches> The allied Gunmen break off from their foes and turn towards the Space Monster, blasting off towards it, leaving their foes sitting there in confusion.
<Sandwitches> "Hey, wha tthe hells the big idea, running out in the middle of our big showdown!" the man in the Banana machine bellows.
<Lavos_Syl> "Seems there's a threat bigger than you afoot. Stay on guard for any other surprises, tasty looking machine." Arturia speaks, then jets off after the space monster. "Mordred, how are we holding up?"
<RickDominated> Granteed spins, it's veridian thrusters, opnce again taking the apperance of a cape again. "Something much more important than you're banna...!"
<Sandwitches> "We're doing fine, mother."  Mordred responds.  "I'm attempting to shift power to the engines...  But I have to wonder...  jsut how did a Space Monster get this far in?  shouldnt the GGasK have intercepted it already?"
<Sandwitches> "The fucks a Z'Gok?!"  The Banana man roars.  "And the hell is so important about that station?"
<RickDominated> The Man's eyes narrow in a seldom seen intensity. "Something more important than you can imagine...!"
<Sandwitches> "Dad, I'm putting everything I can into it, but I'm not sure..."  Calvina's perky tone is gone, a terrified one in its place.
<Sandwitches> "I.. I don't think we're going to make it.
<Sandwitches> "*
<Lavos_Syl> "I'm wondering about that myself! But we gotta get there!" Arturia says, considering using her sword for an extra boost.
<RickDominated> He grits his teeth, and pushes forwards even harder.
<Sandwitches> "COME ON, WE NEED TO MOVE FASTER!"  Adaine screams as he mech shifts into the form of... something resembling a dragon, attempting to get every last scrap of speed it can get.
<Lavos_Syl> Arturia decides to give it all she's got as if her friend is this serious about getting there in time, then it's worth the shot. "I'm using my sword! Hopefully we won't damage anything!" Arturia yells, shoving her caliburn into its desired spot. She just hopes its enough to give it an extra kick to the engines.
<Sandwitches> Gunleon lets loose a Roar as it is engulfed in a green light, Seeming to transform into a more animalistic form as it bursts through space, outspeeding Adaine's unit and approaching engagement range of the strange space Monster in moments.
<Lavos_Syl> "Alright! HAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Arturia yells as she swings the Riot Omni-Wrench at the monster's head, attempting to either knock it senseless or knock it off course.
<Sandwitches> The blow smashes into the things "Head"...  and Seems to do very little to it., the behemoth continuting forward.
<Lavos_Syl> "The heck is it made of not to flinch even to that sort of attack?!" Arturia exclaims, then continues to rain the blows down onto the massive creature, eventually switching to the chain decutters to try and carve her way through the beast.
<RickDominated> "Just try to keep it busy...!"
<Sandwitches> The blunt attacks to nothing... but the Chainsaws seem to at least scratch its carapace.
<Athon> "You guys want me to kick some ass?"
<Lavos_Syl> "That'd be appreciated!"
<RickDominated> "Get it, Nono!" Kojiro roars, boosting right into the things head or face or closest thing to it he can find, as if trying to grapple it. "More power...!"
<Athon> Nono smiles, nodding as her hair slowly changes from pink to bright orange, her clothes changing with it. When her transformation is done, the girl crosses her arms, her legs opening and flaring, as she boosts upwards with great force spinning in the air and descending towards the monster with a powerful kick. "HAAAAA!"
<Lavos_Syl> Arturia continues to try and cut through the carapace of the space monster with her chainsaws. "Grrr.. this thing is super tough.. what in the world..?!" She growls as she scans the head area for eyes or anything that looks like a weakpoint.
<Sandwitches> The Massive Behemoth just kind of shakes out of Granteeds grip, a move that, while not much to the massive creature, is to Granteed the equivilent to being rammed by Buster Machine 1.
<Sandwitches> Gunleons chainsaws finally manage to start digging furrows in the Carapace, drawing small dropplets of orange blood into the Vaccuum...
<Sandwitches> Adaine's Mech Crashes into the side, and partially crumples as it fails to do ANY visble damage.
<Sandwitches> Nono's kick however...  Manages to compeltely SHATTER a chunk of the Carapace, the Creature flailing in pain.
<Lavos_Syl> "Do that again, Nono!" Arturia yells as she makes gunleon practically leap onto the damaged section of carapace and digging into it with her chainsaws. "All I needed was a good opening.. now you're gonna feel my cutters!"
<RickDominated> "Theres your weak spot...!"
<Athon> Nono jumps, her thrusters kicking again as she gains altitude. "I'll do something better than that!" She joins her hands over her head, light gathering and expanding "BUSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER"
<RickDominated> Granteeds Fingers start to dig into the massive things head, more of the green flames pouring out of it as it attempts to get any sort of purchase, steering it however little he can towards where she could strike it more effectively.
<Sandwitches> The Creature begins to thrash about now smashing into the many super robots and Gunmen and knocking some of them away as Nono Prepares her attack.
<Athon> The reddish energy reaches critical size, before shrinking as Nono points downwards, screaming at the top of her lungs. "BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!" A massive laser shoots from her hands, piercing the creature where the carapace had been broken. "SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"
<RickDominated> "Okay...now MOVE!" Kojiro now QUITE Rapidly lets it go.
<Lavos_Syl> Aaaaand Arturia moves just in time not to get some of that beam action on her precious lion mech.
<RickDominated> He lances out on his way though, grabbing the Strange Leader Ganmen and personally pulling it to safety with his own suprisingly agile machine.
<Athon> She separates her hands, the massive beam dividing itself in two, following through the creatures length and cleaving it in half.
<Sandwitches> As the Blade Beam bisects the creature, it's front splits open into a massive maw...  and unleashes *DOZENS* of smaller creatures, as well as a single *MASSIVE* Beam of energy, all of which blast towards the Station.
<RickDominated> "...No...!"
<Sandwitches> The mech in Granteeds Arms attempts to pull out of its grasp.  "LET GO OF ME!"
<RickDominated> Kojiro doesn't even bother answering, but he holds her there sternly.
<Sandwitches> The Beam Approaches the Station...  and then Stops, as a wall of light appears from the Darkness, completely stopping it dead in its tracks.
<Lavos_Syl> "What the..?"
<Sandwitches> The smaller Space monsters almost instantly find themselves intercepted a moment later, the "Enemy Gunmen" engaging the creatures and holding them from pushing any closer to the station.
<RickDominated> Granteed lets the other machine go, and then boosts forwards again, not showing any mercy to anything thier path.
<Sandwitches> "Not sure what the hell is so important about that station to you...  But if you're trying so hard to protect it, then it must be something important to you."  the Banana machines pilot calls back over the comms.  "So how about this.  We call a temporary Truce, till this is done."
<Sandwitches> In the distance...  the Beam fizzles and clears, the light fading...
<Sandwitches> Revealing a Pale colored Machine, one that almost looks like its colors have been washed away...
<Sandwitches> With the Face of a Familair lion at its chest.
<RickDominated> "...GaoGaiGar!?"
<Sandwitches> "...  Not Quite, Onii-sama."  A male voice, that seems...  strangely familiar comes over the comms.  "Close...  But not Quite."
<RickDominated> "I'll take any help I can get at this point..."
