Well, here's our third thread. Damn, this is going fast.
Ok... right now we need to have everyone who wants to do their version of a character sheet and/or what they're going to do in the final battle.
Then, I think we should return to the story for a little while to set up the final showdown.
Finally, we should set a time for the showdown.
Anyone who has additions, other items, miscellaneous junk, responses, etc. can now post away.
Wangus
Should we put up character sheets even if we did before? I think we should so that everyone can just go to here and check on all the characters... Here's mine anyway.
Character Sheet
Wangus
Chaotic-Good Confused Agent
Weapons:
*Main weapon is a retractable opposite ended double bladed scythe with an unknown name.
*Has a P90 strapped to each arm. Both have unique modifications including types of fire and different ammo.
*Carries an unseen short blade made of mystical powers and a hilt of pure jade. Keeps it in case the ritual of seppuku is necessary or for other "special" occasions.
Current Location:
About one half block off of the Sega tower and running towards it. Wangus is accompanied by Derian Hatcheter and (the still unnamed) BGMaster.
Current Plans:
Wangus understands that he cannot possibly face any of the master villians in charge. He anxiously awaits the chance to help his collegues in anyway possible.
Wangus is still utterly confused on why he is in Megatokyo. He follows the others less in the hope of understanding, more in the need for action and the necessity to do right. He is continually amazed at the senarios that are presented and is equally interested in his companions for their abilities and thoughts.

Ok, let's try to keep this finalizing stuff small, only a few posts so the conclusion won't make yet another thread.
VorpalBlade, as I don't want to spoil things for the others I'll e-mail you details on my abilities. Essentially though, last time in my fully transformed and uncontrolled state, I was obscenely powerful, end of the world all by myself kind of stuff. Understandably that level won't work for this thread's purposes. We'll work it out.
BGMaster, I since I'd like to keep this as happy as possible, I'm somewhat partial to the second option. But then again, if we do another RP thread I do want it to be happier.... To paraphrase Garran's character, the tendencies of your character's heart are between you and your goddess. I don't know. Take it where you will and we'll react.
Kasier, since your character has a tendency to run off ahead of us, you could just add to Vorpal's bad ass level like Cyn.
I'd like everyone to make sure that they are paying attention during VB and my fight as I'm gonna do something that'll require that we don't be alone though.
Ok guys, I've got a basic idea for a start off point. If Bill has issue with what I write I can fix that as needed. That .txt will be up by tomorrow afternoon, I'll make any changes people ask for Saturday night. Now for the end, Sunday afternoon-evening is good for me.
Oh by the way, I'm doing the .txt thing because I want to try and conserve space and keep from confusing people for when this thing ACTUALLY starts back up again.
Oh and as for my character's weapons?
A katana taken from random dead soldier.
Had a desert eagle, gonna get Hatcheter's other Enforcer.
Posseses unparalleled aim, adept at close combat, but treats it as a tool to get a shot off.
hidden extradimensional creature form, it's not REALLY a demon. Significance of not really being a demon? None.

DWC, a request:
Regarding Echo, Ping, and _Quinn, if I could be allowed one post to wrap up thier side-story...? I will leave them dashing up to the Sega building, followed by 20+ Vibrating Sheep-o-Death. <grin> Perhaps BGMaster would like an appetizer at the very start of the final battle?
There is also a strong probability that Ping will be carrying _Quinn on her back, as he is rather whipped from fighting Latency (as long as he doesn't mind that development...).
I'm not terribly sure what good they'll do in the final battle tho... Echo won't want Ping to fight (nor should she, really. Even though I said earlier that she's probably *not* THE Ping from the comics), and _Quinn said he's pretty beat from his battle with Latency. Hopefully I'll have more details about that worked out about that at the end of my post...
Send questions, objections, whatever else...
Also, formal character sheets for The Agents and Echo are in the works.
DietWaterCzar
Ok, sure you get one wrap up before I do the our start off point.
wizardofkitty
but...what about the rest of us crazy people that somehow end up at the battle field? Who do we get? ^^;;
I rather not sit out this time unlike that last war... :(
DietWaterCzar
Don't worry, my .txt will deal with all of you. And like I said, any problems will be dealt with late saturday night.
JRandomLurker
So I'm not holding up the .txt file any (my post may be a little while in coming), just go ahead and assume that my post will finish in the manner I described: us running up to the Sega building, et all.
Ping will *not* be part of the final battle, but Echo will be along to provide backup for our team. <chuckle> And it will even make sense ^_^;;
CynSwash
Character Sheet:
Cynical Swashbuckler (Cyn)
Grim freelancing mercenary with good intentions. Aids Erika typically, due to personal friendship from gaming 'con.
Weapons:
Steel Swept hilt rapier
Dual SIG Sauer P220s
Other gear:
Various hi-tech gadgets.
Current location:
Beneath the Sega complex in Dom's secret "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" style lair.
Current SITREP:
VorpalBlade, loyal minion of Dom, has dropped in with his intent to prevent us from reaching his master. I have faced off against him and his wicked broadsword in order to buy time for Ed. The intent is a good duel, but not NEARLY the finisher, so that VB and I can both be at the final battle.

[Character_sheet]
Takahashi and Ishikari
Stable-Good Government Operatives
(I'm unfamiliar with D&D chaotic/whatever character ratings...)
Working for the Himitsu Desu Police agency to maintain peace and safety in MegaTokyo
Weapons:
* Two rather large and powerful looking handguns per agent that, strangely, haven't needed reloading since they first appeared. Kept in under-shoulder holsters beneath their suitcoats when not in use.
* Spy-tech equipment, including at the very least a climbing-wire in their watches and those earpiece-radios common to the Secret Service. Any other spy-tech stuff that people can come up with is fine by me.
Current Status:
Ishikari is lying in a med facility somewhere in MegaTokyo after being hit with a sniper round. He is out of play for the rest of the story. (Unless, I suppose, someone comes up with a good gag to use him in)
Takahashi is currently madly driving a requisitioned sedan back to the battle. Because Ishikari is no longer with him, he'll have slight gung-ho tendancies uncharacteristic of a normally very cool, collected agent. (Their personalities normally have a dulling effect on each other, making Ishikari slightly more loose and Takahashi slightly more level-headed).
Takahashi can show up at the very beginning of the final fight, or whenever is convenient. He is released to all authors on "use-as-you-like" status. I plan to be around on Sunday to help out, but don't be afraid to use him.
Current Plans:
Takahashi's plans are merely to ensure the safety and success of the team opposing Dom in whatever ways he can.
Though he can't do much about it, Ishikari would like very much to be better (and not quite so near-death).
Other things of note:
Both agents are longtime residents of MegaTokyo, and so no bizarre goings-on come as any surprise to them (unlike outsiders unfamiliar with MT such as Wangus).
[/Character_sheet]
Echo's sheet contains some spoilers for my catch-up post, so I'll post the sheet along with it. Unless people want to see it earlier, I suppose. The catch-up post may not be up 'till tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, tho...
squee
Hmm - time for my characer sheet, methinks
Queslin (pronounced Kess-Lin)
Speaks l337, Gamer/Raver, largo fangirl.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Character notes:
Queslin is unable to distinguish reality and gameworld - when things go wrong, she always assumes that she's offline, only to forget what 'offline' means and behave just as she does in-game...
Because of her incapability to recognise the out-of-game real world for what it is, pretty much everything in the real world gets translated into game-world happenings... Just think 'largo' and you'll get it :)
Weaponry
Standard combat knife.
A gift from her ex-boyfriend, it feels nice strapped to her ankle.
Rocket Launcher.
Don't leave home without it.
Position
Explaining to WizardOfKitty her alliegances (yes, she likes piro too, and yes, those who oppose piro and largo should be crushed) and asking "Seen my friend, have you? - blonde of hair and about this tall she is, hmm? Crushed by a large monster I fear for her."
Intentions
Find allies. (befriending WoK to start with)
Discover the source of 3v|L,
Help to crush it.
Find her friend
Edit: added more stuff :)
mlamdin
Here's my sheet again:
Name: BGMaster
Status: Devoted MihoCultist (XO of Convertees) and MT Universe chosen Avatar of Bhaal.
Weapons: Glowing sword with unidentified powers, rocket launcher strapped to back.
Current Location: Down street from Sony building and Rent-a-Zilla with Wangus and Derian.
Objectives: Rescue Kimiko to clear Miho-sama's name of wrongdoing and get rid of that irritating Voice of Bhaal in the back of his head.
Powers/Miscellaneous: BGMaster recently began to acquire control of his powers as an Avatar of Bhaal. In the beginning, he almost lost control, but assistence from Miho herself has allowed him to harness them. He has a huge range of powers, most unused/undiscovered so far. Two that have manifested are the ability to summon ghostly raver girls to turn opponents to zombies and the ability to create and control blades anywhere within sight. He also has immunity to normal weapons and some telepathic abilities. With his growing power, he hopes to be able to better serve his Goddess, but even Miho's interference has not completely muted the influence of Bhaal, and he remains at least somewhat mentally unstable...
Final battle: BGMaster will go for the root of the threat to Miho - in this case Dom. Although he may dispense buttkicking upon minions beforehand, he will not be a huge part of the battle until the end, where he faces off against Dom (with an appearance by Ed - you'll see, I've got it planned out, happy ending this time).
DWC - I'm looking forward to the startup post. If you need/want any assistance on anything, let me know.
placido
Name: Pascha
Weapons: Katana
Equipment: Black cloak, Cybertronic control of body, Various cyber-enhancements, grey horse called Kazar.
Location: the plains of Candar
Sitrep:
Was on the outskirts of the initial confrontation and almost caught in the confrontation between Priogoeth and big demon (Vorpalblade?). Escaped the battle and returned to his homeworld via an interdimensional rift where he was then recruited to the cause of Placido.
Other Info:
A calm person who rarely worries or conciously plans too far ahead, although his subconcious ability to utilise tools effectively gives him an edge. His luck is renowned and in dire situations the cards seem to fall his way. He also has various gaps in his memory but doesn't dwell on those gaps or how they happened.null
vorpal
GKaiser, u can come for me after i'm finished with DWC. I'll be pretty weak from that fight.
Character: VorpalBlade
Appearance: Teenage chinese, british accent
Allegiance: Dom (Bad guy)
Objective: Whatever Dom wants, Dom gets.
Weapons: Staff(converta), revolvers*2(morph into gunblades(revolver grip hyperion model blade))
MA style: Wushu(north and south)
Vehicle: Orca Bomber and motorcycle
Powers: Necrowombicon(incomplete), Ability to bend physics within MT(eg summon objects, faster than bullets, no need to reload, big bullets from small guns, phase through walls etc), teleportation(prefers not to use), summon creatures(vibrating sheep of doom, vorpal bunnies(monthy python))
Notes: Usually rather happy. Uses staff on people he doesn't want to kill. Tendency to aim for the neck with blades. Does not like to get his hands dirty killing people he doesn't need to. Has been powered up by Dom.
Is NOT invincible. Is trying to pair up Dom with Miho^_^ Dom is not interested but one tries one's best...
IMPT: Not powerful enough to break the laws of physics, only bend them. ie no killing people just by thinking about it. all powers require a certain amount of concentration, not effortless. So even though i can dodge bullets, i can't dodge all of them.
G.Kaiser
Ok i getto fight Vorpal blade i got my wish im happy
Character:G.Kaiser(ireally dont know what the G stands for any one who knopws about that plz tell me (laugh emoticon) )

ABSO-FSCKING-LUTLY NOT!!!
Drop that now.
Also, I've been pretty amenable to your contributions so far, as I have been with everyone since I can't really comment on others writing and such. But, please stop just running around and shooting. I still have NO IDEA what your character is doing or motivated by! Please be more thoughtful and in depth with your contributions. And by "in depth" I don't mean the details on how you blow someone's torso in half.
Oh and placido, yeah I remember your character from the first thread. Keep in mind that this one is set several days afterward. Since you don't really tie into the main plot I guess it's ok for your stuff to be added. Just remember you're a side story though.
How the hell did I suddenly become head admin?

cuz you write well. I guess because you called the pause...
G.Kaiser
(ok thats the last time i give kyler,klexer my password) any way i have no grief torwards squee but who side is she on and note to self dont let a messed up guy have your forum password.
klexxer means well ive even let him post some of my stuff in this MB fanfic but il make sure he does not be mean towords squee
*is being nice because he got food and is turning 17 on the 31st bring me presents
(laugh emoticon) )
squee
Well, I've been a web admin for quite some time now, and the way I see it, if someone has your password, they are you. I don't hold grudges, and I don't expect them held against me, so if this "friend" would like to drop it, that would make me a happier person :)
On a more conventional note, Queslin's on the lookout for sake, nice, strong sake... Some to drink for the p4|n, and some to put on her greivously broken, bleeding, bandaged, strapped-up arm (which will cause more pain itself when the sake goes on... Hmm perhaps two thirds of the bottle to drink then) :)
DietWaterCzar
Man, this thing is taking longer than I expected.... I'll get it up by Saturday night and we'll do the entire approval and change thing from then to Sunday afternoon.
Until then don't add anymore replies to this topic.
Quinn
[Sorry, was editing this when you posted, DWC.]
_Quinn: Chaotic Good Bard/Fighter
current prestige class: Sony Special Security Services
former prestige class: Kimiko Fanboy
active effects/spells:
(1) The downer from the l33t b33r he consumed back when Phaedrus 'went Fremen'. All combat rolls -1 until he gets a kill and/or a full hour passes.
(2) Fatigued. All endurance rolls -1; maximum speed reduced by half unless passes a willpower check.
(3) monomorph metal: increase the caliber of the M4 (and its ammunition) to .50, up from 5.56 mm. Will expire at the end of the day, or when he goes to sleep, whichever happens first.
weapon & equipment: .50 caliber M4; .50 caliber desert eagle (both short on ammunition); a variety of grenades (though not a full load); an Emotional Doll diagnostic kit. (Which is missing its memory sticks. May not be fully functional anyway.) Spectra shield battle armor; l33t sunglasses; gasmask.
position: JR will be moving him to the Sega building from where he currently sits (at Echo's right hand).
intentions:
(1) return Kimiko to Sony
(2) return himself to Sony (in particular, the Operations Desk, for debriefing and/or discover why he can't contact them)

squee i am too an admin infact not only am i a slave at hottopic i run there stupi MB and their stupid site in fact i think im gunna QUIT! ummm back to the post This "friend" goes by klexxer and and you can AIM him his name is EightBitVillain he introduced me to megatokyo :)
wizardofkitty
yay! I've been put somewhere. ^^;; whoops. should stop doing that. oh well. Here's a minor update on the charie sheet I need to put on this topic. ^^;;
Wizard Of Kitty (will settle for Neko Wizard or WoK)
insane magical piroist
Weapons:
*Rainbow like magic because of all the skittles WoK eats.
*A metal pole, because they hurt.
Current Location:
Somewhere with Queslin attempting to find out if she's against Piro-sama.
Current Plans:
To stop all groups/cults against piro-sama or trying to take over Megatokyo strips. Other than that, worship Piro-sama
Phaedrus
Guys, let's try to get along...
Kaiser, squee made a couple posts that were poorly received. He took some lumps for them. He subsequently deleted those posts, and is now bending over backward gracefully trying to participate.
Can you think of someone else with a similar history? <IMG SRC="images/icons/crazy.gif" border="0"> The only difference is, no one is still crapping on you^H^H^H that previous person. Jeez man, give it a rest.
***
I'm really looking forward to the finale.
To my horror, there is a fairly large probability that I'll be drawn off for a non-optional family event Sunday afternoon. I'm hoping:
1. That things will still be going on during the evening. I'd love to participate.
2. That folks could tolerate an early opening post for me. Is it ok if I lead off with a storyline post early Sunday, even if the main event doesn't kick in til later?
Has anyone committed to introducing Erika into the plotline for Wangus yet? There's a little interaction I'd like with her at some point, and if I introduce her in my early post, I could get my thing out of the way. OTOH, if someone else is planning to bring her in, I'll just catch up with her later.

[ooc] since I couldnt find a post of Squee writing this stuff, I'm gonna take a good guess on how to reply...[/ooc]
I was confused on what Queslin was talking about. "Uhh...do you mean Pirogoeth or Kimiko?" (forgot if she is blond...) I tried to think of more people with blond hair but only Piro-sama came up to my head.
^^;;;
Final Furyk
(notice my one post on the Church of Miho threads just to keep everyone aware that I'm alive. Actually really fun work guys. I'm rather confused about whats going on but thats really besides the point. As always, carry on)
mlamdin
Hmmm...
The whole Sunday thing - I'll try to be on as much as I can Sunday afternoon and evening, but I'm pretty sure evening is a go, which is good since I'm rather crucial for the end of this whole thing.
Basically, people can use my character beforehand whenever they feel like it (following character profile). Since I'm not going to have much online time before probably late Sunday afternoon, throw me in somewhere, ok? Thanks.
G.Kaiser
i just got back from my date and i didnt do my first 2 posts for god sakes it was my brother!
i think we should start tommrow morning.
Derian Hatcheter
Man, you guys did a lot while I was away! Sunday Night would be good for me, after about 10 CST. Or all day Saturady. Other wise, guide my character.
Character Sheet:
Derian Hatcheter
American
Hockey Defenseman, MegaTokyo Gamers, JHL (japan hockey league)
Skilled, is quick to drop the gloves. Sticks up for team mates.
Weapons:
Two Enforcers (one destined for DWC)
Minigun
Grenades
Collapsing Hockey Stick, extends from one foot to six.
Fists/elbows/shoulders/hips, for good and/or dirty hockey hits. (laugh emoticon)
Wearing full hockey gear, including a visor on his helmet. The pads seem to be resistant to bullets. Combat boots instead of skates.
Location:
With Wangus and BGmaster, a few blocks from the sega building.
Plans/Misc:
Intent on finding Kimiko.
Will go through anything that gets in the way. Not above cheap hits to succeed.
Still feeling the effects of the L33+ B33r. Hearing and sight are slightly dulled, but has great anticipation and enhanced reflexes. Can sense the 3v|l in this state.
I'm not sure how much I'll get to post. My character's not one to run off on his own into the fray, will probably stick with whomever is going straight to Kimiko. If I'm not posting, who ever goes to Kimiko can take him along, and I'll write as I get the chance.
Specifically, DietWaterCzar, Garran, Phaedrus, or Wangus, can use my character.
Maybe he could get a few teeth knocked out in the process. ;)
squee
Urf - sorry, I was going to say sunday's no good for me, and that WoK could use Queslin, but my subtraction is terrible in base-24, and I just realised that the west US is 6 hours ahead of NZDT, but a whole day behind :) In other words, the battle will take place from monday morning onwards from my perspective :)
vorpal
the offer's still open GK
i promise you a painful and dramatic death scene ^_^
JRandomLurker
[!--OOC: this is the catch-up post I asked DWC's permission for. It's a little long, but it still leaves us exactly where I said we'd be in my last post. Curse my hyperactive muse. Just consider it a tide-over until the real action starts on Sunday. ^_^ --]
-- A mini-epic to tie up some loose ends with _Quinn and Echo before the final battle --
Echo and _Quinn exchanged glances, and spoke simultaneously: "Can you sing?"
Ping looked at them, confused. "Hai. Several of my personality constructs need a good singing voice." she replied.
"..." _Quinn mouthed.
Echo glanced at _Quinn, grinning. "I think the joke may be lost on her." he chuckled. Ping shot Echo an annoyed look. He smiled in a brotherly fashion.
Echo could feel something happening in his head. Dom had ownz3d him quite severely, and Echo's villain persona was quickly becoming irrelevant to current events. His sub-processors were gradually dropping him back to his core personality, he realized. It was time to do some Damage Control, to save Ping's and his butts. Since he was an android, all that thinking was finished in the space of a few microseconds.
He turned around to face _Quinn fully. "So what becomes of us now?" he asked. _Quinn was worried for a moment, thinking it the beginning of a threat. "I've had enough of this running around stuff," Echo continued, not wanting to be *too* specific as to what he'd been up to. "Will Sony take us back?" _Quinn realized that he was sincere.
"Perhaps..." _Quinn began. He had to be careful how he phrased this. He wasn't sure exactly where Echo and Ping had been, but Ping *had* been about to kill him a moment ago. "I think, with a little convincing, they'd take you back. They have enough money invested in you to make it worth their while, that's for sure." It might not be a *very* pleasant experience at first, _Quinn thought guiltily, as they might be subjected to rather lengthy diagnostics, but Sony would definitely be willing to forgive them.
Echo turned to Ping. "How 'bout it, 'sis? It's been a long adventure; let's go home." Ping still looked unsure.
"Latency..." she sniffled quietly. _Quinn smiled and did his best to sound reassuring.
[!--OOC: It's my understanding that "bishoujo" only means "very attractive woman", and that it *doesn't* have any of the same connotations as "bishounen". Please correct me, nicely, if I'm wrong.--]
"I'm afraid she couldn't be helped any further... Besides, you're way too kawaii to end up a bad-tempered bishoujo like he--." A noise echoing through the alley cut him off.
"BRR BRR BRR BRR brr brr brr brr... brr... brrr... brrr..."
"Oh shit." mumbled _Quinn. Echo and Ping looked nervous too. They all recognized the call of Dom's elite enforcers, the Vibrating Sheep of Death.
"They must've followed us!" exclaimed Echo. He shuddered to think of the robotic creatures that were closing in on them. An innocent, Wallace-and-Grommet-like exterior hid razor sharp, foot-long retractable claws in each of four feet, and the spinning grinder inside each mouth could severely damage even an EDS unit. Servo motors comparable to Ping's and his own gave them lightning speed and incredible strength, and they had an excellently done AI. But that wasn't the worst part: they were wirelessly networked. The damn things were pack hunters! (or was that herd hunters?)
_Quinn looked over at Echo. He had frozen in place. This was not good. As tired as he was, Echo was their only real hope of surviving. The sheep *were* built for close combat, and therefore fairly easy to take out from a distance, but in a setting like this there was little hope of getting a clear shot at *all* of them. Out of the corner of his eyes, he kept seeing flashes of white in the shadows. Then he heard the plastic display stick on Echo's neck make a short chirp and he knew what was going on. A Mode Select. But what mode? He looked frantically at the situation. Probably a hero mode he decided, but he only half believed it. The last diagnostic dump performed on the robot before he had run away showed some very oddly configured routines.
Echo turned around, speaking and thinking frantically. "We've got to get moving, now!" he said, offering _Quinn a hand to help him up. _Quinn nodded and pulled himself up. He winced. His toe hurt like hell from kicking Latency -- it might be broken, he thought -- and his leg muscles screamed in protest at the motion, but he remained standing. Echo and Ping began running at their top speed, stopping after twenty yards and looking back. _Quinn jogged up painfully a moment later.
"Why are you waiting for me?" he asked, half out of breath.
"Like we'd get any points with Sony if we left you?" Echo said. "Ping, carry him. I need to be free to fight." But Ping hesitated, the image of _Quinn shooting Latency was still too vividly burned in her innocent mind. "Dammit, Ping!" cried Echo, but they had already paused too long. The first sheep stepped out of the shadows. And then so did the rest, and they were surrounded.
Echo was instantly in a fighting stance, and _Quinn unshouldered his M4. The sheep circled.
"Keep them away from my sister!" Echo was clearly worried again.
"I'll do my best," promised _Quinn, not at all sure that he could keep it.
"Onii-sama, let me fight!" Ping begged.
"NO!"
[!--OOC: I've got to apologize in advance for this next part. I really hope it's not *too* dumb, even for this slapstick story. I swear I'm gonna take it out yet...--]
"By the authority of the Playstation!" Echo shook his head. Ping had a habit of not listening when she didn't want to... "And the Great Gaming Empire!" Jeez was this cheezy. "I will vanquish you! Magical Kawaii Ping-chan!" Then she began her 'transformation', which was really just a light show and some smoke effects. The Sony engineers had at least managed to make it look kinda impressive. The sheep, it seemed, were programmed to be good little villains, because they stood their ground, waiting for her to finish. Jeez, why did it have to be hard-coded to be so *long*? Well, Echo reflected, actual killing may be too hard on her Shouja systems, but beating the stuffing out of fluffy little death machines is right up a Magical Girl's alley.
And then one of the sheep got bored. It lunged at the still-'transforming' Ping, claws extended, grinder running at full tilt. Just before _Quinn fired, he saw that Echo was already on it. He grabbed it in a sort of makeshift headlock, striking with the butt of his free hand and sending it's head skittering across the pavement. He then released the animal, spun around, and struck it again, destroying the backup system that would have allowed it to function without it's head.
Ping's lights and smoke machine died down. Her hair had reconfigured slightly, and both it and her clothes had changed color. She sported a tiara on her head, as well as bracelets and other pieces of jewelry, all of which emitted a dull ambient light, an effect which made her appear to glow (the Sony marketing department would have claimed the glow was from her "Magical Girl Powers").
Her transformation was complete, and it was the sheep's signal to attack. They bounded in from all sides on special, pneumatic-powered legs that let them jump surprisingly high. Echo became a whirling ball of kicks and blows, destroying sheep after sheep, Ping wielded a small wand with a laser weapon imbedded in it, and _Quinn fired into the white mass, keeping his gun well on target despite his aching arms.
Echo looked over at Ping briefly in the midst of the fray. He sure hoped she wouldn't use that wand too much. Every shot drained some energy from her batteries.
Ping was apparently feeling the effects of the drain too, because she didn't see one of the VSoDs lunge at her back. She saw it out of the corner of her eye just in time to scream in dismay. Two shots rang out and the sheep skidded to a halt at her feet, lifeless. She looked over and smiled thankfully at _Quinn. And so the battle went for a minute or two, Echo doing most of the fighting, with Ping and _Quinn providing what help they could.
And then it was _Quinn who missed seeing a sheep lunge at him. He spun, but his gun clicked empty. Echo was caught up with three others, several feet away, Ping was similarly occupied, and he was in no shape to take on the thing hand to hand. It stabbed at his shoulder, but the blade glanced off his armor, and he kicked it back desperately. A moment later, a small ball of energy blasted the sheep away. Who here was channeling Goku all of a sudden? He looked over to see Echo, holding a small pistol-like object, grinning.
Echo didn't care if some of the Sony developers thought accessories were only for Shouja EDS units. His were COOL! He just had to be careful how he used this one, he thought as he disabled another of the VSoDs. Sure, he had a good 8 hours of charge in him, but every shot cost him about a minute of uptime. It would add up fast if he didn't watch it.
[!--OOC: DragonBall Z is like an anime gateway drug... I'm allowed to spoof it too! Also, this last bit gets a lot rougher. Hey, I'm running out of time here. Have to work in... uh... shoot, 40 minutes--]
Then it happened. The sheep were suddenly gone on one side of them.
"Ping, carry _Quinn" Echo shouted, fighting to keep the break open. Ping, without hesitation this time, flipped _Quinn onto her back as if he weighed nothing, and all three were off at full speed. The sheep Brrrred in dismay and bounded after them.
"Where are we going?" shouted _Quinn.
"Away from here" came Echo's reply.
"Our best bet would be to head for the Sega building," suggested _Quinn, quickly pouring over different options.
"Are you NUTS? They want to kill us!"
"They want to kill me too, and all of my friends. My group should be at the Sega building by now, and they're in a lot better shape to fight than we are! And it's a lot closer than any Sony building we'd be safe in!"
"Would your friends help us?" Echo and Ping were managing to gain some ground on their pursuers.
"Ping they know about as the apparent head of a neutral group of fanboys, but they haven't even heard of you, Echo. You'll just be backup that I've brought along," _Quinn continued. "It would really help your case with Sony... My friends think that's where Kimiko is being held."
[!--OOC: Remember Ping's role in Karl's original post? That's where our group has heard of Ping from most recently, I believe...--]
"All right, I'll do it. But I don't want Ping fighting flesh-and-blood people." Ping couldn't argue... When her instincts weren't clouded by Rejection Mode or other related software bugs, she was incapable of killing a living person, save by accident.
It was Echo's turn to spin options madly inside his mind. He reached a decision almost before he finished speaking.
"I'll have the last of my troops meet us at the Sega building and escort Ping to Sony Safehouse #251, where they'll stand down and surrender Ping. Can you call ahead and warn the base so they don't hurt any of them?"
"I'll try." _Quinn switched on his radio. They had almost lost sight of the sheep.
"You need any refills on ammo?"
"Yes."
"I'll have the troops bring some."
"Sw33t."
Echo switched on his wireless 'net connection. "All right. Arrangements made."
And they ran on toward the Sega building.
-- At the Sega building --
The flaming 'Zilla had just managed to stop and extinguish himself. He quickly lowered his riders to the ground from their precarious perch on his nose, where they stood conversing with the beast. Save for their voices, it was eerily quiet around the building. All the SGD troops must have either been inside or elsewhere in the city for the moment. But wherever they were, there would be only a very brief calm before the real storm hit.
"We're just lucky you didn't stop-drop-and-roll" Garran noted to the 'Zilla.
A girl's scream pierced the air. "Waaaaaahhhh! Abunaiiiiii!"
"Who was that?" asked DWC.
"SHEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" cried _Quinn as they dash past the 'Zilla.
"That sounded like _Quinn!" Phaedrus exclaimed.
The two Dolls skidded to a stop just in front of 25 or so men gathered at the far edge of the Sega Square.
"We've got two minutes, tops, before the sheep show up," Echo instructed his troops. "Get Ping out of here, NOW!"
Ping set _Quinn on the ground, and before he could resist she hugged her brother, leaving him terribly surprised. Public displays of affection aren't nearly as permissible in Japanese society. She then turned to _Quinn, giving him a smile so bright that he almost became a Ping fanboy on the spot.
"Ganbatte ne," she wished him, and then took off at a run with the troops, before either could see her eyes tearing.
_Quinn quickly stooped and gathered the ammo and supplies the troops had left.
[Edits] Spelling, revision for clarity, and the fact that Wangus isn't riding on the 'Zilla when it stopps. Phaedrus has been given his quote. Further edits to make it mesh w/ DWC's finale-starting post [/Edits]

And, without further ado, Echo's character sheet:
[Character_sheet]
Echo
Chaotic-Variable Sony Shounen-EDS prototype
Weapons:
* Super-human strength, speed, and endurance characteristic of all EDS prototypes.
* A Shounen Combat System that gives him a very high accuracy with projectile weapons, great skill in unarmed hand-to-hand combat, and mildly advanced proficiency with hand-to-hand weapons (it's harder to program a good AI for hand-to-hand fighting involving weapons).
* A small energy-gun accessory that he tries not to use very much, as it drains his batteries. It costs him approximately 1 minute of operating time for every shot.
Current Satus:
Just arrived outside the Sega building with Ping and _Quinn in tow, being chased by 20+ Vibrating Sheep-o-Death. They rondevous with the remainder of Echo's troops, who are then assigned to get Ping to the safety of a distant Sony building. Ping and the troops depart, leaving Echo and _Quinn to join the final battle.
Current Plans:
A Dynamic Mode Select has left him in a hero persona for the moment... He sees it has his duty to assist our team in stopping Dom's takeover bid. As added insentive, if Dom is not stopped it will mean his and his sister's deaths, as they are Sony robots.
[/Character_sheet]
Phaedrus
Three words:
(laugh emoticon) Magical Girl Ping (laugh emoticon)
squee
Hey Phaedrus!
I'm ashamed of you! :) You said "Magical girl ping" and didn't complete the haiku! :) Ah well, I'll finish it for ya ;)
Magical girl ping,

match her cute bracelets.
Tsk Tsk :)

It's noon, but it's also Saturday. Patience, patience. :)
DietWaterCzar is writing a text page that summarizes our starting positions, etc, so that when the finale starts we're all synchronized. My understanding is that he'll be posting a link sometime today in this thread, pointing us all to the text.
After that, I think the idea is there will be a (hopefully) brief round of corrections, requests for changes, etc, then we start in character afterwards.
Incidentally, major props to DWC for taking on the job of bringing together our starting positions into one document.
JRandomLurker
Glad you guys liked the post. Or at least Ping ^_^
And yes, props to DWC for drawing up our starting sheet. Especially with f00s like me running amuck who had "just one last good idea".

I've got one too...
Thinking about my avatar, I need to make a small change to Phaedrus's character sheet. I originally described him as "basically pacifist", but that's not quite accurate.
It more like violence is so far outside his range of experience that he just doesn't "get it". Dropped into the middle of a battle, he'll most likely assume it's some complicated piece of performance art.
As a struggling seiyuu, Phaedrus considers Kimiko a fellow artist, and would defend her to the death from threats like unfavorable reviews, cuts in arts funding, or abduction by evil overlords.

Guys, I really didn't want this many replies here, (save the one dealing with Echo and Ping) cuz I didn't want us to have to make another thread yet again.
Ok the .txt will be up around midnight. ONLY REPLY IF YOU HAVE ISSUE WITH IT!!!!
We'll then wait till late afternoon (6:00 EST?) and we'll signal the start with the posting of the contents of the .txt
DietWaterCzar
OK, here's the .txt
Sorry, about the lack of word wrap, I dunno if that's just me.... download and save if browser viewing is problematic.
Forgive my attempts at putting this together, I got VERY tired at some points.
Remember! Reply ONLY if you have issue with something!
Phaedrus
Looks good, DWC!
[edit]
Phaedrus needs to read more carefully at 3 am. The word wrap enigma made me miss huge</B> chunks of exposition. I pasted it into a text editor, wrapped it, and everything made a lot more sense. Gomen. To add to my chagrin, it appears that DWC has subsequently wrapped the file himself (?). Either that or I was really in bad shape last night. (My daughters had a sleep over last night. I'm in serious sleep deficit).
[admin]
I have this opening ceremony thing I'd like to post before anyone starts fighting. I need to edit it a bit to bring it in coherence with the txt.
Blindside
To answer Phaedreus' question: Cornelius is Rent-a-'zilla's real name. ^^;
After reading all of the fic in here, I'm smacking myself for being too busy to participate throughout. But as a fan and reader, please let me thank all of you for creating an interesting way to relieve stress from college applications.. ^^;
JRandomLurker
The only corrections I see are mine to make...
For one, I'll edit my post so your party is in the proper location as _Quinn, Echo, and Ping dash past.
Secondly, I'll have Garran say "We're just lucky you didn't stop-drop-and-roll" regarding Cornelius. It seems out-of-character for him to not use a person's (or zilla's) name when he knows it... no?
And my story-post has now been edited.
G.Kaiser
i sound like a drunken fool with a gun not a member of the kimiko guard oh well xant change that
DietWaterCzar
Ok changes made. Before we start I guess I'll put up my character sheet
<B>DietWaterCzar
Background
Former leader of the Kimiko Army. Was the closest thing to a villian in the first fan-boy war. Worked in the shadows to make the Miho vs. Yuki war escalate with the intention of then eliminating the weakened winner. Acted without Kimiko's knowledge. DietWaterCzar dedicated his life to the misguided belief that to make the world a better place for his Kimiko-sama he must eliminate all that could possibly be seen as opposition to her. After the intervention of Pirogoeth, and to a lesser extent Garran and Phaedrus, Kimiko was horrified to learn that DietWaterCzar was commiting acts of violence in her name and confronted him about it. This led to his decent into madness in which he injected himself with a serum containing the DNA of any and all of the most horrible creatures (easily construed as demons) from a countless number of dimensions. This caused him to tranform into an extremely powerful monster that would have destroyed the world if Pirogoeth and Kimiko had not stopped him, more on that in mindset. He was later recovered from "his remains". Upon inspection of his own remains he finds a reciept in his wallet that charged him for his transformation adn gives a rate on future transformations.
Mindset
DietWaterCzar is a disturbed individual. Prior to his "death" he viewed killing and abuse as "fun" things to do. He reveled in killing enemies and unruly subordinates. If the killing served the purpose of changing the world for Kimiko, all the better. To DietWaterCzar, Kimiko is everything. She is so much to him that she served as his conscience at one point. That is how Pirogoeth (who was losing) was able to beat him in his fully transformed state. Upon seeing that his actions were causing Kimiko grief he let himself be killed by Pirogoeth. He now believes that killing is wrong, but only because "Kimiko-sama doesn't like it". That's his only reason. He realizes that that is wrong to think that and has been endevoring to change, but due to recent events, has gone back to his killing ways.
Characterization
Cool, arrogant, and crude. The only exception to this is when he talks about Kimiko, in which he is more thoughtful and humbled.
Weapons
Katana
Enforcer (old gun from first thread incidentally)
Posseses unparalleled aim.
Adept and close combat, but generally treats it as a tool to get a shot off.
Can casually dodge most projectiles and small arms fire, not from speed, but from a "feel" for how projectiles behave.
Hidden extrdimensional creature tranformation. Wields world destroying power in full state. Hourly rate for tranformation. Does not know how to trigger yet.
current and future plans
Find and kill VorpalBlade, rescue Kimiko, discover who gave him haiku inspiration and note in wallet.
---
ok that's it!
When final battles take place, let those who fight determine where things go, you can still post but stay within thier confines.
DietWaterCzar
When the dust cleared, Garran, Phaedrus, and I found ourselves clinging to the tip of the Rent-a Zilla's nose. We had been thrown there as a result of the 'Zilla's screeching halt. It was NOT a position we were happy with, as it meant that we were very close to plummeting to our deaths.
"I'm very thankful to you, our size advantaged friend, for managing to stop before you crashed into the building, but do you think that you could lower us down slowly? I do not welcome the idea of dying, as a result of a plummet or otherwise." said Garran as he struggled to keep a grip on the scaly green skin.
"Frightfully, sorry! I suppose I should have abstained from eating such copious amounts of soy on a battlefield. What WAS I thinking?" the beast said in an apologetic manner as he gently lowered his head and allowed us to disembark.
"Yeah, that was pretty stupid Barney. You hurt yourself much?" I asked our giant lizard friend.
"Firstly, you barbaric half wit, I do have a name! It is Cornelius Thistleford; please do well to remember it! And as for your insincere concern, my tail got a bit emolliated but is otherwise fine." replied the beast.
We looked back to see that the beast's tail was a bit blackened from the explosion.
"We're just lucky you didn't stop-drop-and-roll," Garran noted.
Suddenly a girl's scream pierced the air. "Waaaaaahhhh! Abunaiiiiii!"
"Who was that?" I asked.
"SHEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" cried _Quinn as they dash past Cornelius.
"That sounded like _Quinn!" Phaedrus exclaimed.
We watched as the three ran off and disappeared from our sight.
"Well this all has suddenly gone to Hell-in-a-hand-basket really quick. Where is everyone else?" I asked.
"How should we know? We're in the same exact predicament. Our knowledge of the situation is the same as yours." replied Phaedrus to which I gave a dismissive wave as my own response.
I surveyed the area around us to get an idea of what was going on. We were six feet from the Sega building, having had crashed through whatever defenses were set up around the perimeter during our little trip. As I looked to our left I could make out the jeep that Wangus, Hatcheter, and the big armored guy had been in. It had apparently been blown over here as a result of the gas explosion as well. They simply hadn't been blown as far; they were still a good block away from the building. Also, unfortunately for them, they were still downwind of the 'Zilla. I didn't envy their position. As I looked harder, I noticed that the armored guy was staring at something intently in the direction of the Sega building. I looked up to see what he was looking at and I saw a sort of plane taking off from a platform high on the Sega building. I squinted to see who was inside. All I could make out as a few squiggly lines, a figure I couldn't make out, and what looked like a woman.
Squiggles? Woman?
"That's Dom! And he has Kimiko-sama! That bastard is trying to get away!" I yelled to my companions while pointing at the escape vehicle. I couldn't stand it. My Kimiko-sama as being taken away and I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't even shoot at it vainly anymore since I lost my gun.
Another thing picked at my mind. If the stick figure was Dom and the woman was my Kimiko-sama.... The other.... VORPALBLADE.
Dom took off and started to fly off, when someone got in his way.
"I suggest that you kindly exit your transport conveyance and give us back Kimiko-sama," Cornelius suggested as he held Dom's means of escape in his large, green hands.
--
Dom looked in horror with his two beady dot eyes as Cornelius shook the Orca and demanded their surrender. He turned to his right hand man and demanded action.
"Don't just stand there! Do something! Teleport us or something!" yelled the irate stick figure.
"Yes, of course my Master!" replied VorpalBlade.
VorpalBlade cut a jag in the "stuff" of the air and they all stepped through.
"Well, that's better!" exclaimed Dom as they stepped back into his office in the Sega building "This is certainly not good. HE is still coming, he's still fighting through the basement but he will be here soon.... Well, if I can't escape from HIM, I shall make sure that the others cannot come in here!" And with that Dom pressed a large red button situated on his desk.
--
We watched as Cornelius shook the Orca in attempt to make Dom surrender when he suddenly stopped.
"What? This cannot be! The villains have simply vanished before my eyes! What a dismaying turn of events!" exclaimed a confused and disappointed lizard.
Just as Cornelius was lamenting his failure to stop Dom, we heard a rumble. The rumble was coming from the Sega building and was a complete mystery to us.
"What the Hell is goin-" I exclaimed, but was cut off by the sight of four huge, three foot thick, steel walls jutting out of the ground and enclosing the Sega building like an armored security box.
"Well that sure is friggin' impressive, but if Dom could have done that in the first place, why didn't he?" I asked while gawking at the imposing fortress.
"Surely for dramatic effect." Phaedrus responded non-chalantly.
"Damn you all and yo-" I tried to exclaim before being interrupted by the suddenly appearance of Tragic Bill. "Well where have YOU been?"
"WELL, after I seemed to have lost you all I wandered the battlefield a bit, killed a couple soldiers, you know, that kind of thing. Then suddenly I hear a huge explosion and see that the Sega building looks like a safe. I figure it had to be you guys and here I am, ready to kill some infidel!" Bill replied while cleaning his sickle.
As we had our attention on Bill; Hatcheter, Wangus, and the armored guy came back to join us.
"BGMaster! I see you have come back! I trust that Lady Miho has assisted you with your little problem?" said Tragic bill to the armored newcomer. BGMaster gave a slight, unsure nod as his response.
I looked back over at Hatcheter and remembered that he had TWO Enforcers.
"Hey Hatcheter! Some broad with an energy rifle got off a lucky shot and fried my Deagle. Toss me one of your Enforcers will ya?" I asked of my former subordinate.
"Sure, I like using my Hockey stick more now anyway." Replied Hatcheter as he tossed me his other Enforcer.
I looked over my new gun when I noticed something. "Hey! This is my old gun! You must've picked it up after the whole ordeal! Look here!" I said as a pointed at the handle "this is where I made a small scratch for every enemy or subordinate I killed with this thing!"
"I thought that was the grip...." Wangus said as he got a closer look.
Suddenly we had two more of our group rejoin us. _Quinn from one direction with some new guy, and one of the Himitsu Desu agents from the other. _Quinn introduced the new guy as some back up. Looked like one of those robot things to me. The agent, whose name was Takahashi, informed us that the other one, Ishikari, had suffered an injury and was unable to join us for the battle.
"I am deeply sorry for your partner's injury, and I welcome our new ally. I never hurts to have more friends in our heroic quest!" announced Garran.
"Right.... Well since we're all here...." I look up at Cornelius "Hey, Corney! You think you can open up this oversized present for us?"
"It is CORNELIUS, you ignorant fool! And, yes I shall endeavor to remove this encumbrance from your path." replied the beast who started to grab a corner of the steel box and pull with all his might. The Beast struggled and struggled, but eventually the wall creaked and groaned as it gave way to his strength. Soon Cornelius had bent open a small crack for our party to enter. Suddenly, Kaiser appeared from out of nowhere and ran inside. Random gunshots could be heard as well as lot of yelling.
"Is he even hitting anything? And does anyone even know what he's doing here?" asked Wangus, who got a response of shrugged shoulders and shaking heads from the rest of the group.
I looked at the small crack that was our entrance to the stronghold. This was it, the final battle. Inside that place Dom, and more importantly, VorpalBlade waited. He was going to die for what he did to my Kimiko-sama. I then suddenly remember that if I was going to use my transformation I had better have some money. I opened my wallet and was surprised to find that I had a brand new five-dollar bill (as to why I had U.S. currency, I don't know). In addition to the new money I also found a note.
You were given a second chance, stop screwing it up!
Don't fail this test!
I pondered my new message when two women suddenly joined us. One was wearing black, bloodied clothing, had splinted legs, and a broken arm, and the other had a metal pole.
"Alright you guys! Who are you and what are your allegiances? Are you trying to take this comic over and overthrow Piro-sama?!?" asked the woman with the metal pole in a demanding manner.
"Comic? What comic?" my group asked in unison.
The woman with the pole introduced herself as Wizard of Kitty and her companion as Queslin. Wizard of Kitty explained that she was a follower of Piro and that he had sent her to stop whoever was trying to take over MegaTokyo. It was strange though, Piro hadn't really made an appearance before but he had loyal followers. Everyone starts somewhere I guess. The injured girl turned out to be a soldier that was just recently recovered from the rubble of the fan-boy wars. She claimed to be after the root of the "3v1L". She also said that she was in a lot of pain and some alcohol would help. We gave her one of the last few l337 b33rs left.
--
Garran looked up at the imposing fortress. This was where the climax would take place. An exciting prospect indeed. Suddenly DietWaterCzar came up to him again and handed him a piece of paper.
"I found this in my wallet. I'm guessing it's from whoever gave me the haiku inspiration to go north earlier. I figured that you might be able to figure this out" DietWaterCzar said as he left Garran to ponder alone.
Before Garran could ponder the injured girl suddenly interrupted him.
"H3y! You got anymore b33r for the p4in?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, alcohol isn't an agreeable thing with me. But my, you certainly are in bad shape. May I ask what happened?"
"Oh, I just forgot to account for the splash damage."
"Splash damage?"
"Yeah, from my RPG here! I was trying to frag a HUGE monster that had squashed my friend when I accidentally got hit by my own splash damage."
"Huge monster..." Garran pondered as he looked at Cornelius.
"Oh not that! My monster had a different custom skin and the player model wasn't nearly that huge! Hey, you wouldn't have had a chance to see my friend? A blond woman? I figure she's still around, if she had been fragged she woulda respawned somewhere close to where I was."
Garran pondered the woman's words as he looked at the note from DietWaterCzar's wallet.
--
Elsewhere in the Sega building, Cyn and Ed were frantically searching for Dom's office when someone confronted them. VorpalBlade.
[waiting for phaedrus now]
Phaedrus
[who was waiting for you :) ]
Heavy clouds covered the sky, threatening rain. Still shaken from our recent flight, I started planning my next move.
Meanwhile, a large crowd was forming. People were shaking hands and talking to each other about recent adventures. Even Zilla was chattering away, something about being called "Cornelius". I tried not to let it all distract me. I had work to do.
That _Quinn fellow was shouting something. Everyone gathered up their gear and went over to talk with him and his buddy.
Finally some quiet.
We were in a square plaza immediately in front of the main Sega tower. The plaza had a round grassy area in the center, which was surrounded by stone benches. A large chrome-plated statue of a hedgehog had originally stood in the grassy circle, but had been knocked aside as Cornelius skidded by.
I walked slowly into the grassy area. It was perfect.
Garran turned and called back to me: "Um, Phaedrus, the sheep..."
I interrupted. "Garran, Zhang Huan does sheep. I'm trying for something bigger here. Something grander."
I took off my pack, rummaged around it in for a while, then began to remove a strange assortment of ironmongery.
For obscure reasons probably only he could understand, G.Kaiser ran by, shooting that big gun of his back in the direction he came from. He saw Cornelius, blanched, and quickly snubbed out his cigarette. I waved as he went by; he tried to tell me something was "vibrating". Sure, whatever.
After a few false starts, I managed to assemble a large, ornate sun dial in the center of the wabe. The gnomon was made up of several squiggly pieces of iron rod, supporting an irregular oval-shape. For some reason, it seemed right.
Garran was shouting. "PHAEDRUS, WE ARE LEAVING!"
"Almost finished! This is going to be great!"
A crack opened in the cloud cover, allowing a single beam of light to fall on the sun dial. The gnomon cast an ominous stick-figure shadow, which covered the "IV" on the dial.
Assuming a Poetic Stance, I declaimed:
'Tis brillig and our
frabjous quest doth now begin!
Kimiko awaits!
.
.
.
"LET'S GIMBLE!"
I waited for the applause.
The silence was deafening. I looked around, and my audience seemed to have disappeared. Only Cornelius was left, and he wasn't paying attention; he'd painted blood on his ankles, and was doing some kind of dance with a bunch of sheep that weren't here a minute ago.
It reminded me of "Bambi meets Godzilla". So derivative. And so Zhang Huan.
"Philistines! No one appreciates true art any more."
I donned my pack, shouldered my croquet mallet, and walked toward the building. It looked different somehow; I would have sworn there were more windows, and the doorway was...odd. I ducked inside and ran to catch up. Those guys were going to need my help.
Wangus
Yeah, it didn't work out. I couldn't possibly have edited it enough to match Phaedrus. The file is saved in a word folder though, so I can look back at it anytime I want.
wizardofkitty
[ooc] here we go..I think...^^;; [/ooc]
I looked around while walking with the rest of the group who seem innocent of attempting to take over the comic. I figured that whoever they were after, was against piro-sama.
The walls to me looked like a collage of SGD strips and sega products. "Eek! too many stick figures! Where's piro-sama's comic strips and sketches when we need them?" I thought not liking too many of the stick figures.
After a couple more minutes, I noticed that Phaedrus was back in the group. "Hey Mr. Poet, who are you guys after again?"
[ooc] note the avoidance of using other people's charies. [/ooc]
mlamdin
I walked along the corridors with the rest of the group. I had not seen it necessary to assist _Quinn with the sheep - Cornelius was taking care of them. I, on the other hand, was going to track down Dom and clear Miho's name once and for all. I wanted to kill VorpalBlade, but I figured I'd leave him to DietWaterCzar. From what I'd seen, here and in the first war, DWC could most certainly handle himself.
'Always strike at the root of the problem! Then burn it! Destroy it! Destroy your enemies so completely that nothing is left behind! NOTHING!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!'
That voice had started up again. The crazed spirit of Bhaal, or whatever it was, was becoming harder and harder to ignore. I shook my head to clear it. Then I noticed something. All was not right about the gallery we were passing through. The figures in the paintings seemed...
Figured he'd be a copycat. I yelled a warning. "The paintings are made of Domites! Kill them!"
And then all hell broke loose.
[OOC - Nice to be back! I've got the end post mostly written for my confrontation with Dom, so I'll just pop in here or there throughout the time leading up to that. Everyone, feel free to use my character.]
Phaedrus
[Phaedrus may be about to put his foot in his mouth by presuming that WoK is of the female persuasion. He is fully prepared to be suitably mortified if this turns out not to be the case.]
"Madam, I don't believe we've been properly introduced! I'm Phaedrus. Have you joined the troupe?"
WizardofKitty looked a little puzzled, but answered "Yes, just now..."
"It's a wonderful piece, I'm sure you'll love it. We're searching for Kimiko, you know."
Damsel in distress.
Virtuous rescuers will
bring her home safely!
"Umm, yes, I know that. Do you do that italic thing...often?"
DietWaterCzar interjected. "Constantly."
Suddenly, BGMaster was yelling, and strange figures started peeling off the walls and grappling with my friends.
Glump
Granted, Sega was most known for painting an anthropomorphic hedgehog blue and launching it at ridiculous speeds toward stylized robots, but somehow (I reflected as I was attacked by a cantankerous painting) I hadn't quite expected its headquarters to be so surreal. I ducked, and the stick figure's squiggle sailed over my head.
Squiggle...
Well, less stable men than DietWaterCzar had been prophets. Still, there was the note, and my 'being-led-by-a-mysterious-force' sense was tingling again... Who could be our benefactor? One of the characters?
For a line of trackball, the arm made remarkably solid impact. I stumbled back, winded, cursing myself for not paying more attention. Someone else exploded my opponent quite satisfactorily, but I began composing a haiku insult anyway, grasping at a nearby torch-bracket for support...
...and the wall swung open behind me, dumping me with a startled squeal down some sort of secret chute.
I landed painfully on my back in some soil and stared upward for a few long moments, counting the stars. I appeared to have landed in a stand of trees, trees I knew from my home in Vancouver; not native to Japan, let alone the Sega building.
Phaedrus' head appeared at the top of the chute. "Garran?," he called down. "Are you alright?" A stick-painting loomed behind him for a moment before someone cut it down. That guy had to be more careful.
"Uh, yeah..." I winced, but nothing seemed broken. "This is weird... I seem to be in a... Some sort of borrowed grove." I staggered to my feet, brushing against a tree as I did so, and the tree came crashing down. "A flimsy one," I added, then stopped, and stared.
Ahead of me was a tiny, almost perfect replica of the Cave of Evil; leaning up against it was a man wearing white face paint and a striped suit. As I watched, he staggered to his feet, face contorted into a rictus of rage, and opened his mouth as though to scream obscenities at me, though no sound emerged.
And my mind clicked. It was a mime wroth, out-rave.
"Uh, Phaedrus? Are you sure you haven't been down here?"
I was starting another one, but Phaedrus' latest post contradicted it; hopefully nothing like that has happened this time. Sorry, everyone; I swear it was irresistible.
wizardofkitty
I shrugged after DietWaterCzar's comment about Phaedrus's haikus. Haikus always were hard for me to comprehend since I barely even know what they were.
After BGMaster started yelling about those sqiggles comming off the walls, I decided to just use my cool metal pole. "ew...these domites looks worse than my brother's drawings..." I mumbled and then wacked one of them in the stomach and another's glasses off.
[ooc] cold fingers...bad...[/ooc]
Phaedrus
Garran was standing at the bottom of the chute in uffish thought. I threw him a line (not that he needed one, his puns were in rare form) and he scrambled up.
I could see that I was going to have to be on my best behaviour with this WizardOfKitty. She was belaboring the stick figures with a metal pole, and I could see that it hurt 4107. Where'd she learn to do that?
I swung about with my croquet mallet, trying to get into the spirit of things, but wasn't being very effective. Takahashi looked at me pityingly, then dispatched a stick-figure that had snuck around behind me.

[!--OOC: Phaedrus, could Takahashi be the one who dispatches the stick figure sneaking up behind you? It fits with the rest of the post I've got brewing rather well. And here my post is! Thanks much, Phaedrus!--]
Cornelius was out of sheep. He looked around the square, but all that was left were the crushed white chassis of opponents already trampled.
"Oh darn," he muttered. "No more?" The sheep had tickled when they tried to lick him, he thought. He looked around the square to size up the situation. There was something in the middle of a grassy area in the center. He had been listening to the humans' conversations while holding off the sheep, and could swear Phaedrus had been shouting something familliar from down in the circle of benches there. He squatted down to peer closer.
"What's this?" he grinned. A sundial... casting a... and Phaedrus's speech suddenly made sense. He tried not to fall down, laughing.
"Shame that they all ran off... I would have liked to congradulate Phaedrus. Carroll is one of my favorites!" Other things moved in his peripheral vision and he looked up. SGD troopers were streaming in from all over the city, called by Dom. "Oh grand, I won't be bored after all," Cornelius mused. A small (for a 'Zilla, anyway) CB radio chirped in his ear.
"Cornelius, your rental time is up, you can return to the shop now." the voice informed. Cornelius pulled an impossibly small handset from somewhere on his person and spoke into it.
"This situation involves Kimiko, and I was originally hired by the wrong side," he stated as the SGDs in the square drew closer. "This one's on the house, Arthur." No more of these fiends were going to impede HIS friends in rescuing Kimiko.
"Alright, but you're buying dinner tonight," came the slightly annoyed reply. Cornelius would have replied, but other things were vying for his attention. He started stomping about and breathing flame. He swatted at something near his face. Aug, gelicopters! He hated helicopters. He chuckled grimly.
"See leaves in the air,
that would attack a Great Oak.
Indeed, let's gimble!"
Echo was a flurry of deadly motion, and having a wonderful time to boot. Stick figures may be hard to hit with guns, but he was built for bare-hand combat too. A two-handed scissor chop, and there went another one.
These SGDs seemed to be made out of some sort of strong, plastic or rubber material, but they didn't have quite the strength he did, and they tore with some effort. He checked his batteries. 7.3 hours of time remaining, and he had 8 only 10 minutes ago. He was running on full power, and the drain was more than he was used to. He'd have to watch himself.
Takahashi had given up on his gun a while ago. Stick figures were hard to hit, being mostly implied space. A long assassin's dagger from a forearm sheath was his weapon of choice now. A few slashes, and these constructs fell apart.
Not to say it was that easy to do... One landed a blow on him and sent him onto his back. He rolled, stopping in a crouch outside the circle five of them had made around him. He knew Dom was probably generating these using MT's fluid reality. As an agent, he had trained to handle every aspect of MT's bizarre physics. All agents knew about reality manipulation, even though few of them could ever perform it. So he tried to force his own will on them, to force them out of existance. One of the five flickered slightly. This was going nowhere.
Other things needed his attention, as well. Phaedrus was in trouble, staring down a hatchway of some sort, seemingly oblivious to the violence, and one of the drawings was sneaking up behind him. Takahashi dashed over, but he was waylayed by several pieces of bad art.
Someone else took care of the one threatening Phaedrus, who proceeded to pull Garran out of the hatchway he had been looking down.
Two flicks of his wrist and the last of Takahashi's attackers came apart at the waist. He looked over and saw Phaedrus wacking away at one with his croquet mallet. He also saw another figure sneaking up behind Phaedrus. He looked at the poet, whom he couldn't help but feel almost sorry for because he was really trying his best, and slashed appart the rogue drawing.
"Thanks much, sir," Phaedrus said. Takahashi grinned, then reached behind him, grabbed another stick figure by the top line of it's head, and threw it over his shoulder, cutting it too in half as it went.
"Poet," the agent began, "Dom is making these stick figures using MT's reality, and he's not gonna run out of 'em very soon. You're a thinking type, can you effect the reality here? We need to get away from them before we get too tired fighting an unwinnable fight."
"It's 'affect', not 'effect'," Phaedrus corrected
"Gomen, typo."
"Anyway, I'll see what I can do."
[!--OOC: ph33r! If more of our fighter-types don't start posting, this could start getting *really* surreal and poet-ish! Not that that's bad, but... <grin> Also, Takahashi and/or Echo are, as always, on release for general support use. I may or may not be back tonight... Real Life beckons.--]
[edit] How is it that Takahashi knew Dom was manipulating MT reality? It wasn't just a plot contrivance, there's a good reason. My post now explains as much. [/edit]
wizardofkitty
[ooc] forgot to say that Phaedrus was right that I was a girl. ^^;; hehe. well, I'm avoiding that poet thing too. O.o not my style...[/ooc]
I attempted to swing my metal pole at another domite but instead, missed wacking my own head. I fell down to the ground but got back up immediatly rubbing my poor head. "Ow...that hurt bad...should recover in a few minutes. I should stop clutzing randomly like that..." @.@
[ooc] I'm pretty sure I did that once during colorguard...[/ooc]
I walked over to the poet and Takahashi listening in to the info. "No da Dom-kun isn't goin to run outta domites." The two stared at me for a moment. I realized what I just said and then cleared my throat. "Umm...I mean No duh Dom is not going to run out of domites. Sorry for the horrible english. Must of been looking at a Fushigi Yuugi parody again." ^^;;

Realtime journal(gamelog) of Queslin (translations below):
As we entered the building scarcely a minute ago, I let out a quiet cry of delight... "N3w m4p! sw33t!.. w41t! 1 d0n'7 kn0w 7h15 0n3... mU57 533k (4mp1ng 5p075..." **1
I start 57r4f1ng **2, startling my new companions with my m4d 57r4f1ng 5k1LLz **3 as I discover new places to hide. Dissapointingly, there are not many weapons lying around, and it seems none will materialise here anytime soon. A no-weapon-spawn server? Hmm This reminds me of a nightmare I had about an impossible day many years ago when quake didn't exist... What a mindjob...
After finding a suitable number of camping spots I catch up with the party, ready to engage the 3v1L with backup plans in place. I tell everyone, trying to keep my language as close to the old dialect they seem to use as possible, "I've thr0wn r0und5 f0r my m4in we4p0n 4r0und th3 l3v3l... If I g4t fr4gg3d, gr4b my gun. Th3r3z amm0 in 3v3ry go0d c4mping sp0t r0und h3r3 n0w." **4
Just then, these squiggles began to attack in force from the walls. As Phaedrus and the others defended themselves, and my newfound friend WoK wopped some of the squiggles, I realised they attacked quite similarly to doom-style floating skulls...
"57r4f3 d4mn j00 4ll! 57R4F3!!! Th3ir 4tt4x 4r3 l1n34r!!!" **5 I shout at my comrades-in-arms-and-italics.
I must remember that from the look in the ambulance staff's eyes, this is probably a friendly fire-enabled server... I must be careful where I aim the 'launcher...
I begin to calculate splash-damage and squeeze a few rockets down the hall, aiming for the roof so the splash gets the squiggles as they leave their high wall hideouts to attack.
Translations:
**1 I am not familiar with this area. I will scout for defensible positions
**2 rushing madly from side to side
**3 dextrous gymnastic abilities to rush madly from side to side
**4 Ammunition for my 90mm semiautomatic recoilless explosive-tipped-projectile weapon has been distributed amidst nearby defensible positions. In the event of my death, my weapons should be utilised to defeat the enemy.
**5 given the domites straightforward attacks, it may be advisable to rush madly from side to side

[OOC - I have to leave now; I'll be back (for a little while) sometime tomorrow morning. I doubt we'll be close to done by then, so I'm not all that worried. Everyone, feel free to use my character. I have the Me vs. Dom showdown all set up, so I'll just save it for when we're 'done'. Also, I'll probably pop in every once in a while to smash minions...]
G.Kaiser
*first off my demise is not a snickering matter you mean ppl! >:( )
*walking in the new battle firiing what was left of his ammo at the domites only hitting 3 out of 15 *
God damnit how can i kill these things with out guns
hehehehe
*sudenlly remembering his Zatoichi. he quickly unstraps his M4 and ammo packs*
you really dont want to do this
*the domites contenue their advance*
well well ill guess ill have some fun waiting for VB.
*Kaiser unsheaths his blade and runs toward the nearest Domite. he sidesteps and thrusts his blade into the domite cutting it in half.
2 pop up from behind he jumps back and and rebounds off the wall slicing both of the domites heads off*
any more?
*suddenly the other domites all charge at him. Shit he thinks as he jumps up out of their way. He rebounds of the ceiling directly in the center of the small mob taking out 3 of them. Then suddenly he does two side slashs taking out 4 four domites and the rest flee.*
Not this time.
*kaiser charges after the last three cutting them down as they run. and contuies too look for VorpalBlade*
DietWaterCzar
[ooc]Yeah i have a feeling that this is going to go at our normal rate, not really an accelerated one that ends tonight.[/ooc]
The SGD stick figure soldiers were annoying. It wasn't really a problem taking them out, a few well placed shots at where the torso line intersected the head circle, a few katana slashes. All pretty easy. The problem was that Dom was doing that damn literary manipulation to send them in an endless supply. We didn't have time for this, Kimiko-sama was somewhere and needed rescue. VorpalBlade was somewhere and needed killing.
I made my way through the fighting when I notice that the Queslin chick is tossing her RPG rounds everywhere.
"What the hell are you doing? Stop tossing your ammo around. Your gonna need it later." I admonish Queslin.
"Wh47? 4r3 j00 cr4zy? 3y3 n33d 70 d0 7h47! 7h3r3'5 n0 w34p0n sp4wn! wh47 1f 3y3 g37 fr4gg3d and n33d 4mm0?" she replied excitedly.
"Well, if you get "fr4gg3d", you won't be able to use that ammo at all!" I said to recieve a confused look from her. "Look, just trust me on this, get your ammo" I say while picking up one of her RPG rounds "and just use them!" at which point I throw the round toward a group of stick figures, fire a few rounds at it, and watch the explosion burn a few squiggly lines to a crisp.
I then walk away from her while she continues spouting some gibberish. I know that we need some of that literary intervention and that the poets are our best bet. I head to where Garran and Phaedrus are, only to see that they had come to the same conclusion.
Phaedrus
Queslin was taking out stick-figures with rockets, nailing them as they emerged. Kaiser ran by, savaging 12 in a series of lightning-fast moves. All our fighters were destroying domites, but they were spawning faster than we could handle. What to do?
Wait! WizardOfKitty is a Piroite!
"Wizard, I know you can help us! What would Piro do if stick figures were taking over the strip?"
She looked dizzy and was rubbing her head; one of the domites must have pasted her one. Her voice was slurred, but as she got up to continue fighting she shot back:
"It happens occasionally! Check strip [093]!"
[ooc]
Phaedrus is fading and going to bed. Someone tape the rest of the fight for me, I'll watch it tommorow.

Wangus
Slicing stick figure after stick figure I took a minute to look at the situation. The others were struggling a little trying to adjust to the odd dimensions of our enemy, but it was obvious that they were getting the hang of it. I grinned inwardly, blades cut no matter what the size of the person. I looked over to Hatcheter who was almost enjoying himself slamming into the domites and smashing them with his hockey stick. Ahh, the odd positions that a stick figure can form after being firmly beaten by a hockey stick, I thought. It's one of those rare joys in life.
I carelessly walked around the room and watched Queslin with interest. Ever since we met her she's been talking about odd things. Weapons spawn? Now what the hell is that?
"Do these things stop appearing?!!" I yelled. I got a collective "NO!" from the group and I stopped talking. I turned my head just soon enough for my reflexes to tell me to hit the ground. As my body started rolling I could see two rockets fly past me. They exploded in the distance.
"Um... explain please?" I looked at Queslin and Czar. Czar hesitantly grinned at me and shrugged his shoulders.
"Ooops?" He said. I cocked my head to he side and lifted one of my eyebrows. The started rambling in defense, "Well how was I supposed to know that rockets would come out of the ammo when I shot at it!"
I shook my head side to side and rejoined the fray. I hear Wizard of Kitty speak of a Piro and a numbered strip. These people just get odder by the moment...
OOC: Sorry, really tired. Had a long day of work at the Hospital. The ER was crammed full of kids and people serious and non-serious. We were on red alert and everything that we had to start directing patients to other hospitals. Very odd for a sunday. Anyway, the writing isn't like normal, I know. I deleted my previous post up at the top of this page if you haven't noticed.
Very important: When Erika/If Erika is introduced, try to make it a few posts into the battle, instead of like... right now. My meeting with her is going to be my final scene (ooo... mysterious).^_^
Nice job Phaedrus, btw, with that plan.
Wangus really needs sleep. School is not going to be friendly tomorrow.

to obtain a great ending

Vibrating Sheep of Death. I felt silly even saying the name, but that's what they were, and they were a pain in the ass to destroy; their 'wool' was a near kin to Ping's bulletproof pigtails. Luckily, it didn't take the 'zilla too long to stomp them all flat, and I sat down the Evil Blue statue's pedestal, and fiddled with my radio until Cornelius started smacking helicopters around; at which point I limped closer to the building, where I wouldn't have play dodge-the-flaming-wreckage.
Then I thought of something. "Cornelius?" He didn't respond for a while -- busy with the flaming breath -- so I continued my shouted question: "What's the frequency, Cornelius?" I realized that I wasn't being clear: "On your CB?"
He told me, and I tuned into it, and then tested my radio: "Can you hear this?" He shook his head, no.
Well, shit. Maybe that payphone had just been busted, too. Movement in the distance caught my eye; more SGD troops. I limped over to the entrance Cornelius had made, and had decided against entering when I heard, "[093]!" Someone else who knew how to pronounce typographic symbols? 042 was the maintenance code for duct tape, so 093 would be... what? A hail of rifle fire spattered off the armor around me, some SGD troops apparently deciding to shoot at something they might be able to hurt. Far more quickly than my broken toe appreciated, I slipped into the Enemy's fortress.
Stick-figure madness, and no end to them, either. Flat, two-dimensional, lifeless... they needed depth. Rather, they couldn't exist /with/ depth, by definition... depth, deep, the deeps, the abyss... the dark backward and abysm of time? Daylight savings time? In Japan? Abyss... water. Maybe stick figures were water-soluble? Couldn't hurt to find out, so I shot the caps off of several of the sprinklers in the hallway...

Derian Hatcheter
The stick figure Domites continued to approach. Like the Detroit Red Wings, they came in wave after dangerous wave.
Fortunately, they're rather pliable. They crumpled around my hockey stick when I struck them, and flew pretty far when punched.
My party continued to fight. Row upon row of squiggles charged us, and again and again they fell. Still, they were starting to wear us down. I was beginning to realize there was only so much time before the L33+ wore off. I don't know if I could do very well without it.
The poets were trying to help. Wizard of Kitty and agent Takahashi were keeping an eye one them, making sure they didn't get hurt. Phaedrus turned to the cat-girl, who was rubbing a nasty bump on her head.
"Wizard, I know you can help us! What would Piro do if stick figures were taking over the strip?"
She looked up at him, and answered. "It happens occasionally! Check strip [093]!"
Making my way over to them I asked, "What's a 'strip ninety-three'?"
Wizard of Kitty looked at me, shocked and disappointed. She then produced a stack of computer paper, each with a comic on it. She shuffeled through, when I yelled "DUCK". She dropped to one knee, and I punced a Domite in the face, breaking its glasses.
"Here," she said, handing me a piece of paper. She then thrust her rod between my legs, catching the shorter Domite in the crotch.
The comic she gave me had three eerie stick figure drawings, featuring Dom himself. The fourth was more realistic, with the "Piro" that the wizard had mentioned, and a fellow with glasses, wrapped in tape.
Tape? TAPE! I had tape!
"I have tape!" I shouted
Three Domites rushed, in single file. I thrust my stick straight forward. To my suprise, it passed through their hollow heads. Lifting the stick, I jammed the butt end into a crack at the top of the wall. The Domites kicked and struggled, but were helpless. Phaedrus came up and beat them with his mallet until they stopped moving.
Which would've happened faster if he used the flat end of the mallet, instead of the side.
"Wizard, will you cover me?" She nodded, and stepped into the corridor, beating Domites left and right. I momentarily wondered if she could skate, but remembered the task at hand.
Pulling my right glove off, I felt around my pads. I knew I had grabbed an extra roll of stick tape when I retrevied my armor. Patting the pockets and the usual hiding places, I found it, just above my right knee, in my shorts.
Pulling it out, I held it up for the others to see.
"Ok, now what?"

Queslin's realtime log:
These things just don't stop coming! My friend WoK seems to have bopped herself on the head - I hope she's OK, but I don't have time to check her for packet loss... She sure looks lagged though...
One of these other guys just pulled out some tape... Hmmm I think I know what they intend.
I shout "T4p3 th3m 0nt0 th3 w4ll - th3 0th3rz w0nt b3 4bl3 t0 g3t 0ut fr0m b3h1nd th3m!", and prepare to try and do something about the excess squiggles hanging around, making his job more difficult... Now what would be effective... They're made from squiggles that got printed onto paper, so they're basically made out of dead matter... but they move... They could easily be undead! At the very least they're unliving...
I'm seeing everything differently now, it's almost as if I've realised I was playing the wrong game against these little terrors! RIGHT!
(holding up a holy symbol of Largo)
"In the name of all that's good and right,
behold you fiends, this fearsome sight -
by Largo's power - HOLY SMITE!"
The squiggles near the rear crumple in a desicated heap under the holy blast (or maybe just the bad poetry)... Right, now I've made room for the rest to move...
"Now TURN, unliving fiends! The power of Largo compells you!"
The squiggles begin to move away, turned from this display of holy power (or maybe just the offputting zealousness)
"Now's your chance, tape up the walls!!"
- If anyone wants to SEE Queslin turning the squiggles, there's a picture here.
Be warned though, I am a rank amateur as far as drawing anime goes, I can't draw hands, I draw with a mouse, and you need to have played D&D to get a lot of my humour :)
Phaedrus
Derian rooted about under his unusual armor. An itch? No, he was pulling out a roll of tape. This was no time to tape up his stick!
A lightbulb went off over Queslin's head. She recited poetry - surely that would work! Ph34r our rhym1ng sk1lz, you track-ball begotten travesties!
The domites were stunned, but kept coming. Partially immune to poetry? Maybe they just didn't understand it?
Queslin was unfazed. "Now's your chance, tape up the walls!!"
Derian grabbed a dead domite, and started taping it to the wall. A wall-bound domite tried to spawn and reach for him, but was effectively blocked by his dead comrade. This was going to work!
"Garran, let's help!" I rooted around in my pack, and pulled out a roll of duct tape.
Duct tape - the Perl of
the real world. Impromptu tool
for jobs big and small!
Garran and I started globbing used domites to the walls. Others got the idea, and soon the passageway looked more tacky, but a lot safer.
[Edit: reverse Queslin's sex change. Evidentally the character sheet, starting text and illustration weren't enough hints for my early morning autopilot.]
mlamdin
I sliced yet another Domite in half. The things were simply a nuisance. Unfortunately, they were enough of one to prevent me from going after Dom. I had been trying to figure out some way of turning them off, and hadn't been looking at the others. When I finally glanced around at my current allies, I noticed that they were duct taping used Domites to the wall. It seemed to be working! Eager to resume my quest for Dom, I began to flip through the Necrowombicon in one hand while casually slicing Domites with the other.
Hmmm... Page 42... 'How to do Anything with Duct Tape'... How utterly appropriate. I always thought duct tape was the solution to everything, and now I've confirmed it. About halfway down the page, something caught my eye.
I looked up at a Domite peeling himself off the wall. Extending my hand, I muttered a few cryptic words. Duct tape shot from my hand and plastered him to the wall, both neutralizing him and stopping any further respawn efforts there. I grinned. This stuff really does work for everything.
The voice in my head shrieked a protest. 'No! Burn them! Burn them with Hellfire from below!'
I was able to mute it more easily, now. 'Duct tape is good enough for me...'
The tide of battle was turning. I grinned once more. 'I'm coming, Dom...'
[OOC - well, I like this turn of events. Duct tape is great. I always carry some with me. Oh, and the new comic is GREAT! Largo, Largo, Largo... heh.]
Phaedrus
Kaiser and BGMaster had both disappeared, off chasing their destinies. The rest of the party continued on, until we came to a branch in the corridor. Which way to go?
Derian tossed a coin. Heads. He turned left, and we all followed. We seemed to be in a twisty little maze of passages, all alike.
The next intersection had four corridors exiting. Two coin tosses later, and we were on the path second from the right, in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
A triple intersection. How to choose? WizardOfKitty did some kind of sleight-of-hand, and produced a 3-sided die. (How did she do that?) Two. We went through the center door, in a little maze of twisty passages, all alike.
Another branch. Heads again. We turned left, and ended up in a twisty little maze of passages, all alike. Hadn't we been here before?
I struggled with my memory; so many years had passed. How did I get out of here last time? Oh, yeah!
Trapped in a pass of
mazey little twistages?
Use the magic word!
"XYZZY!"
There was a flash of light and we teleported out of the puzzle.

Log of Queslin (Queslin is female, P :) )
As we were following round some similar-looking brightly-lit straight-walled dungeons, I put away my holy Q-stake of largo, and all of a sudden I started to feel confused, I heard some beautiful poetry and everything went blurry, the walls of reality slipped again, and I began to wonder...
<confused>I wonder why I haven't got a weapon out..? "~... 7... Ahhh" - I pull out the rocket launcher again, and grin madly...</confused>
My rockets didn't seem to terribly mark the ceiling before, but that could be explained away as the building being of concrete-slab construction... Still, I didn't try the interior walls to see if they went kaboom with a rocket... "j0. h4z th15 l3v3l g0t d3f0rm4bl3 5c3n3ry?" (translation: "Excuse me, my friends, but do the walls get holes blown through them by rockets around here?")
My answer was several confused looks... Obviously I would have to just see for myself...
I prepare to loose a rocket towards the nearest wall, look at my broken arm, think twice, correct my aim to eliminate splash damage... and FIRE!
KABOOM... The wall seems to almost gracefully evaporate as I slide into position to cover the other side... What the hell...? There are stalls with feet under the doors... Human feet... Is this 'Sega' really the 3v1L liandri corporation, farming people to fight in the tournament? Hmmm... Nope, these legs are too scrawny for that...
I can't figure it out, what are these people doing in these stalls?? *confused look*... *pout* *reload*.
Mooresy
"phew.. I`m pooped,that was a good fight,nice work Cornnelius but i must go on"I`ve finally arrived at an improvisedentrance in the metal box."the sounds have stopped,hah just the calm before the storm".
I began running through the building and came to a maze."SHIT!!huh a note XYZZY."
Mooresy
"what the hell was that.....".'that`s quite a large hole in the wall'."Oh hey everyody!".Why don`t i ever meet any normal looking people."can someone explain what`s going on!?".I sheathed my katana,i don`t want to send the wrong message and put away my crystal

[ooc]Hooo boy. More additions. Welcome though. Be more patient, and make posts a bit longer. At least you had more substance and better grammar than someone else. Seeing as how everyone is scattered around the world additions will be posted at varying times and intervals, don't just jump the gun and make post after post.
Still waiting for Vorpal, but I got a lot of work and studying this week. Before our fight starts I'll just post a little every now and then. That'll be a good thing seeing as how we'll take a big spotlight, and I'm damn tired from putting together the .txt[/ooc]
Chicks with guns are always cool. As annoying and odd as Queslin's actions had been as of late, the hole she made in the wall was a welcome change from all the damn running around we had been doing. Stupid Dom and his friggin' mystery fortress. He and VorpalBlade just needed to come out so they could die already.
It seemed that Queslin had blown a hole in a bathroom. Since these guys worked here I figured I might as well ask them where to find Dom and VorpalBlade. The explosion had shook them up though and you could hear zippers being zipped and weapons being cocked. The latter sound wasn't a good thing.
"ALRIGHT! If you guys don't want to die on a TOILET, you'll drop those weapons, kick them over here and tell us where Dom and VorpalBlade are!" I yell while gesturing the others to train their weapons on the stalls.
"Yeah right!" yelled a voice from one of the stalls.
I didn't have time for this. Unsheathing my katana I walked over to the stall where I had heard the voice. I then tooke the liberty of slicing the doors hinges off. The SGD soldier inside was in very embarassing situation as he tried to pull up his pants and load his gun at the same time.
"You seem to be the most talkative here, I'm sure you could provide us with directions." I say as I shove the barrel of my Enforcer in his mouth "Couldn't you?"
The soldier nodded and grunted agreement through broken teeth. He then ordered the others in the stalls to drop their weapons. There turned out to be 4 of them who were taking a bathroom break. The SGD's informed us to go down the hall and take the large metal doors to the right. His answer satisfied me and I was about to give him some "thanks" when another person popped his head through the hole Queslin had made in the wall.
The stranger asked what was going on and if someone could explain what was going on. He didn't look like a minion of Dom so we gave him the benefit of the doubt.
"Gah! Another person in our 'little party'? Whatever. Someone get this guy up to speed and lets just get a move on!" I say as I spy a fragmentation grenade among the weapons the SGD's kicked over.
I pick up the grenade as we leave and then turn back to the SGD's.
"Hey, stupid!" I say and subsequently shoot the first one stupid enough to look in the kneecaps. Before the others can react I shoot them as well and toss the grenade into the room. They couldn't escape with their injured legs.
I catch back up to the group who realized what I had done with Hatcheter being the first to speak up. "Uh, Czar.... That was an awful lot like the old days, wasn't it?"
I gave him a dismissive wave and made my way toward the metal doors the SGD's had told us about.
"They don't matter. We're here to kill Dom and VorpalBlade for what they've done to Kimiko-sama. That's all that matters."

Perhaps I got a little excited at the end, I could hear my voice shifting into the high-pitched warble of V.34-l337...
[Note: The momentary shift into V.34-l337 sounds quite cute and girly... Quite a contrast, in fact, to the situation at hand, but don't worry, story-wise, it's not a plot device at all, just a cute aside]

VorpalBlade: hello may i ask who are you?
Kaiser: you should damn well know who i am you son of a bitch! im the man who will kill you!
VorpalBlade: if you whant a fight first defeat this amusing creature i found.
*the robot walks out and stand inforntof me*
kaiser: what is the meaning of this!
VorpalBlade: defaet it and ill grant your wish! but you wont be able too silly mortal.
*he vanishs and the bot activates it self again*
Shit!
* the bot does a seris of attacks and didnt seem to slow down. It was easy to dodge but quite annoying he would send a lacky for me to defeat. I give the bot a swift kick to its head it wasnt phased to my amazement.*
what the hell i dont have time for this!
*i think as i jump to the ceiling followed by the bot. what was this made of i thought as it rose above me and laid a kick into my shoulder. it hurt but wasnt anything i felt before. i promised myself i would use nen but i didnt have time to fight fair i quickly rise my haustiu up and i lay an elbow in its head smashing it in the upper left wall.
I land on the floor with my nen aura rising i un sheath my blade and exstending aura too the blade. No one but people trained with nen can see my aura i wished they could see my true power then they wouldnt smirk. The biot stands up and charge i slash its back and apperently disarming it*
hmmff that was easy

Phaedrus
DWC lead the way to pair of large metal doors. The sign above them read:
Executive Break Room
Queslin said, "Guys, 1 th1nk w3'r3 on a b0ss l3v3l..."
With some trepidation, we pushed open the doors and slipped inside. There was a loooong table there, lined with chairs. A door was at the opposite end of the room, where a pair of Sega executives sat crowded together drinking coffee. Dozing on the table between them was a familiar looking Giant Space Hampster. As the group carefully sidled towards the exit, the bosses jumped up excitedly, shouting "No room! No room!" and passed out business cards.
The first executive was armed with a large shotgun. His card read:
M4d Spl4tt3r
Chief Executor
Anti-Piracy Division
The other boss was clutching several wicked-looking, razor-edged CD-Rs, each prominently labeled "z3r0-d4y". His business card read:
Arch Warez
Vice President
Software Acquisition Department
"Have some whiskey", Arch Warez said in an encouraging tone.
The Czar looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but coffee. "I don't see any whiskey," he remarked.
"There isn't any!" said Arch Warez.
This was getting us nowhere. I declaimed:
Where is Kimiko
in this madhouse? Unhand her
at once, you vile fiends!
Spl4tt3r was shocked. "Unhand her? What, with an AXE?" He produced an alarmingly large battleaxe, and waved it about for emphasis.
"That's not what I meant."
"You should say what you mean." interjected Warez.
"I mean you should release her."
"Is she being evicted?", Spl4tt3r asked, brandishing some rental papers threateningly.
"No, she's been abducted!"
Warez nodded his head in understanding. "Ah, you want the X-files division, over in area 51. Out the door, second right, third door on your left. You can't miss it."
The two executives promptly sat back down, ignored us, and began arguing back and forth about the constitutionality of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
Garran whispered to me, "They're no help at all, let's go!" We quietly slipped out the exit.
The last we saw them, they were trying to put Boo into the coffeepot.

this is when it started to go down hill
"IS THAT THE BEST YOU HAVE HUMAN"rasped the humanbot hybrid named SLASH."ALRIGHT I`LL LET YOU HAVE THIS LITTLE VICTORY OF YOU`RSE,STUPID HUMAN YOU CAN`T HURT A TEKNO-WARRIOR UNLESS YOU ARE ONE,I SHOULDN`T HAVE USED JUST 1% OF MY POWER,WELL BELEIVE WHAT YOU WANT"'weakling I`ll let Vorpal have his fun I have better thing`s to do'(MOORE I`M WAITING)'Now where did I leave Kruguer?ah there you are'<SLASH pick`s a huge double scythe 1 ontop 1 on bottom at least 10 feet long>'Yes my friend it won`t be long before we fight Moore and Kyuojin,yes my hungry blade just wait we`ll have some more fun with this guy and I`ll up my power by 2% that should put some pressure on him'(MOORE YOU`RE FRIENDS WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE UNLESS YOU SHOW THEM YOU`RE TRUE FORM)
"UH!"."50m37h1ng ^/r0ng 5p1|>3y?"."No no nothing at all Quelsin".I didn`t like this at all I sensed a powerful force but it was nowhere near enough to defeat SLASH why is he waiting for me,why does he want me to transform he know`s I`m here why send out an energy signal,this dosen`t feel good at all.
"uh guy`s was it really nessecary to perform such a gratuotous act of violence back there i mean I know their from sega but they didn`t seem that threatening"we continued walking down a corridor Quelsin`s jumping and constant strafing was seriously annoying but... she did have spikes on those shin-guards I don`t think i could afford to annoy her at least if I wanted children I couldn`t
In another dimension at an A.C bay"Hanzo something wrong?"."hmm..Hacker no I just have a strange feeling as if something important is happening,I just hope Moore`s OK he still can`t handle his tekno change without severe pain,the after effects are getting worse and worse,but he`s a bright kid he`ll know what to do.JAKE IS THAT BEAM PROJECTER REPAIRED YET!!!"
If anyone want`s to know Moore`s history I`ll be glad to include a few flashbacks if requested
I`m still with the group guys I just need to get more info on the other characters before I can include them!

Ok, Phaedrus, if Koryorto/Moore splits from the party, Queslin will stay with the party - it's better to fight in a tight-knit team...
Or in her words, "LAN 1z 7h1ck3r 7h4n m0d3m."
Queslin finally realises that Moore called her 'L337 g1r|', and responds "I m4y b3 cut3, bu7 d0n'7 7h1nk f0r 4 s3c0nd | w0uldn'7 fr4g y0u 1f 17 c4m3 t0 17" (image here)

The pair in the hallway seemed oddly mismatched standing next to each other. One wielded a double barreled shotgun, illegal from the likes of it. The magazine seemed way too big. It somehow managed to match the black Armani and shades he was wearing. The other had pouches and pockets full of stuff, but two things stood out. The two guns in his hands and the antique looking rapier at his side.
VB:"Mr Ed. My Boss has been expecting you. Just go straight down the hallway and go up to the highest floor using the elevator."
VB wasn't even going to bother trying to stop Ed. Only Dom could defeat Ed.
Ed stepped around VB and left.
Ed: "Don't get yourself killed."
VB: "As for you, you aren't going any further."
CS: "Sorry, I can't go back without Kimiko. Erika would be pissed. So why don't you step aside before i poke you a new one."
VB: "With that little pig-sticker? You're on."
CS winced slightly. Lots of people thought that his rapier was old-fashioned. He drew,
even as the revolvers in VB's hands grew curved, wicked black blades, one log, one short. CS fell back into the Spanish en guarde position, pointing his blade at VB's throat to present a constant threat.
VB immediately swept up his left short sword, trying to knock the point away. CS turned a tight circle with his wrist and the rapier danced under the incoming blade.
He lunged forward, trying to end it quickly, and was forced to duck as VB's long sword sliced through the air where his neck had been. CS was good, no doubt about it. His sword snaked out as he tried to slide through VB's defences. It would only take one thrust for the v-shaped blade to rupture internal organs and cause major bleeding. Yet, everytime he saw an opportunity, the short sword came back in an arc to knock away his rapier.
CS: <Damn, the left sword's so short, it's faster than my rapier even though it's heavier>
He also noticed another thing. VB was speeding up. Already, the long sword was moving almost as fast as the rapier. He had to end this right now. The short sword came in for a thrust. CS forced his legs to stay, even while leaning back to avoid the thrust. He slid his rear leg forward, hiding it behind his forward leg,
bringing him into striking distance while giving the illusion he was retreating. As another right to left slash of the long sword barely missed him, he blasted off his rear leg, his front leg skimming over the surface of the carpet as he aimed a flurry of thrusts at VB's shoulders and head.
VB slid backwards, dropping his swords as he caught the blade out of the air with his left index and middle fingers. He flicked his right index finger at the blade, sending a wave of vibrations running up the sword, numbing CS's hand. Cursing, CS grabbed for his p90 with his left hand even as VB stabbed out at pressure points on CS body, freezing him solid.
VB picked up his swords, retracting the blades, and holstered them. He pushed CS down, and he fell on the carpet with a "thud".
VB: "Stay."
<ooc>sorry for the delay. my connection was totally shot and i couldn't even get to the reply page. i use cable so i think someone's
running a server in my neighbourhood. Also took some time 'cos i haven't held a rapier in 20 months, so it was hard to plan out the fight.
Sorry for knocking you out, CS, but i had to get to GK and DWC, and i didn't want to kill u immediately.
btw, the move where VB catches the blade is called ling2 xi1 yi4 zhi4.

"FOOL NOW DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU`RE UP AGAINST!!!"Shouted SLASH as he kicked his opponent through several walls"YOU CAN`T COMPARE ME TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!!!AHH HAHAAAA"
SLASHS opponent G.Kaiser was beginning to get stronger now matching SLASH in speed and power it was a clash of great power`s the tekno-warrior was begginning to strike faster,still his opponent kept up with him.
'This is quite a laugh he`d make a decent sparring partner,I must admit not many can keep up with me at 5% this guy`s good.He`ll do as a warm-up until Moore arrive`s.'
"Damm you,you weren`t this strong 5 minutes ago,holding back were you bot?"."YOU STILL DON`T GET IT DO YOU? I AM NO ROBOT!!".(The fight began to get feicer and more desrtuctive yet neither had landed more than 1 blow on each other.

OOC:
With much apologies, this post is going to be completely out of character. I've got a horrible headache from school and then going to work at the GBMC hospital. As a result, my writing/creative juices are at 0.00%.
It's so bad that I don't think I'm even understanding the plot.
The rest of the posts in Phaedrus' group should mention something about the scene so well presented by him.
Can someone tell me this also: does Cyn have P90s? I think, acutally, I'm kinda sure that he has two Sig Sauer P220s. I have the P90s, just trying to clear things up.
One more thing! Koryorto, I'm kinda confused with your robot. Who's he fighting? or what's he doing... or why is he here? just some info would be nice. Maybe I should have a whack at him considering I have the double bladed scythe. I'll see....
I'll try to see if I can post later tonight.

Alone again, I tramped through the corridors on one of the upper floors of the Sega building. Various Sega agents had tried to stop me, generally ending up with various parts chopped off or in a smoking heap. I had reached my target at last. Ahead of me was a room labeled 'Executive in Charge of Extortion and Kidnapping'. Figured that Sega would have an executive for everything. A small sign on the door said 'Closed for Expansion'. Yeah, sure. I backed up, leveled my rocket launcher and blew the door into little fragments.
I walked through the smoky haze left where the door had been, expecting that my armored frame holding a glowing sword and smoking rocket launcher would be rather intimidating. Instead, I got a hassled receptionist. "Yes, Mr. Armored Destructive Maniac? Were you looking to place an order for kidnapping or to rescue someone we kidnapped?"
"Uh, rescue. Kimiko Nanasawa."
"That would be our 'Customer Service Department' on the 21st floor. They have a nice assortment of demons on hand - got a new Pit Fiend just today. Or you can attempt to call them from here, and if the person you wish to rescue is alive by the time you get through, you can try to negotiate."
I slung my rocket launcher over my shoulder, strode to the desk and picked the executive up effortlessly by one hand. As I glared at him from 2 inches away, I let the fires of Bhaal creep into my eyes. 'Yes, yes, kill!' the voice shrieked, but I ignored it.
"Look, scum. I don't want to play games. I want to rescue Kimiko I know that Dom has her. NOW TELL ME WHERE!" Deeper tones of command entered my voice as I shouted at him.
"Uh, h-hai, s-sir, he's... he's going to transfer Kimiko away from here by helicopter... I'm not sure when and I really don't know his location right now so please please pleasepleasedonthitmewiththatsword!" Well. Perhaps I should try this method of dealing with Customer Service more often. I released the shaking executive, who fell to the ground with a thump. Striding out of the office, I sent a mental message to all my allies.
'Dom will be taking Kimiko elsewhere on a helicopter at an undetermined time. Deal with his minions, especially VorpalBlade, and try to meet me up there soon. I'm heading up - I hope to catch him before he leaves. This is our best chance.'
[OOC - Ok, this will pretty much set me up for my rooftop fight with Dom, but I'm leaving the time open so everyone can have as much fun as they want in the Sega building. When you are ready for the showdown, write your way up to the roof. My only request is that no-one prevents Dom from getting up there - you can confront him or fight him if you really want to, but he needs to get up to the roof to fight me.]

[ooc] here's my sad attempt to do something but at least it's something that sounds minorly reasonable...oh yeah, I think I wouuldnt go around wacking people in the head to help. ^^;; oh well. that's okie.[/ooc]
After I told Moore to start helping us go through the strange path and destroy those annoying SGD soldiers, I decided to see where in the Sega Fortress are we.
I amazingly pulled out a map with a little strange blinking light saying 'you are here'. I looked at the rest of the map that looked like a 4 year old scribbled on it. O.o Dom must be a horrible artist to scribble a map that's suppose to be his lair.
I didnt notice it but while I was looking at the map, SGD soldiers surrounded me. "Ack! Not more SGD people!" I closed my eyes and kicked somewhere. After that whole claustrophobic (I think I got that right) event happened, I noticed one SGD soldier in what seemed to be major pain and the rest slowly walking away in fear.
"Whoops...that was bad...and good in a way...How about we keep going on and follow this sadly drawn map with the little pointer saying 'you are here'?"
[ooc] hope that was ok. ^^;; oh well. need to continue reading bookie for hw[/ooc]

While I try not to be antagonistic, I'm having trouble following the actual story because these posts get in the way. You guys have my heartfelt plea to move on with the story and stop godmoding (and yelling!); failing that, just stop. It's taking the fun out of reading this thread, and I can't imagine there's much fun left in writing it anymore.
That complaint made, I'll try and figure out what's going on and post again soon. :T
(Hmm, I'm redundant; oh well...)

Koryorto, power down you character, the god characters were already established long before and this is (was) meant to be a conclusion thread. More god characters mess with the final battles we already set up. If you want to stay powerful, end this fight with kaiser and relegate youself to side story status.
I don't like doing this guys.... Please work this out in a civil manner.
G.Kaiser
firts off im not god moding Garran im using NEN! ppl need to read more manga secound im sorry for yelling at the new guy new guy im sorry next time ill yell at him thru email of something else well ill post some thing later and edit my flame posts sorry all (laugh emoticon)

[ooc] *shivers* geez, you two like to yell at each other...well, I agree with Garran that we're having a hard time understanding because of all this minor conflict between G. Kaiser and the new person.
oh yeah, please lay off the cursing, there are some people that are not over the age of 13 (that would be me! and I no like cursing!)
*stuffs in another thing to say* What is NEN? I'm confuzzled...[/ooc]

It's not a question of the source of the power - if godmoding were literal, than BGMaster, who seems to have a god inside him (my Realms knowledge is a little fuzzy) would certainly apply, and I don't think he's godmoding at all. It's a question of the responsibility with which the author (importantly, not the character) uses the power. From what I see, neither of you have been using your power responsibly; you haven't been working in tandem, you've just been throwing tantrums over who wins the fight, ofttimes to the point of contradicting each other's posts, although granted those posts weren't responsible ones by this definition to begin with.
This applies to both of you. It's not good practice, and I don't think anyone's enjoying it, least of all you guys, because if you were enjoying it, you wouldn't have gotten so irritated.
It wouldn't kill you to lose a fight (unless, of course, your character dies at the end, which isn't something anyone should do without your complete prior consent) or to write someone else's character realistically and with respect. Either of these things, I think you'll find, will leave you with a more satisfying story, a better realized character, and a more enjoyable experience.
Please just give it a try?

i thought id include the new guy like you nice people did to me then he made his little robot inviceble im supposed to be killed by VorpalBlade like it has been planned out. when he comes and postes when we should start i will lose and die after a very well planned out and great battle to be regenerated later on

I'm glad you two have managed to tone it down some - I missed most of the war (off computer), but I probably would have yelled at you like DWC. Basically, I think you should just stay out of each other's way for now. Kaiser, I assume you're going to fight VB, so that's good.
Koryorto - if your conflict is a separate one (which it seems to be) try to keep it separate from the main storyline. Or tie it in; I don't really care. Just don't mess with the big set-up showdowns. I, for example, have about 2.5 pages written for my final battle with Dom - it should be good, guys.
Thanks for ceasing hostilities. Please keep it that way. (laugh emoticon)

Queslin looks on confused as strange things happen... "Umm.. Ok, th1s is g3tting cr4zy, w3're 4ll gunn4 d13 *sob*" She hangs her head in her hands for a moment, shaking her head vigourously from side to side.
"Shi-T40WWWWWWW!" screams Queslin as the bones move around inside her broken arm from the pressure of her hung head.. "0^/^/ d4mm17!!! Sh4zb0t!!!"
A light of recall enters Queslin's eyes, as she realises that she's here to destroy the 3v|L that broke her arm and in all likelihood fragged her friend.
A steely expression, grim, determined and decidedly cute on Queslin developed, quickly followed by a decidedly dangerous-sounding and uncute snarl. "R1GH7! Wh3r3... 1z... 7h3... |3./=.9. ?? | mu57 h4v3 17." [translation: "I seek the Big Friendly Giant" note: l337 terminology varies on the usage of BFG - usage is extremely context-specific. BFG can also be taken to mean 'large weapon', a reference to the hugely destructive top-calibre weapon of the Doom/Quake series of games]
"L4ck1ng th47, | mu57 h4v3 th3 r3d33m3r".

But you could have used this to your advantage... What if, for example, you were wounded in the battle with Sir Slash, and you both decided on a strategic retreat so as to save yourselves for the battles to come? Then, during the battle with VorpalBlade, the wound could hinder you, causing a crucial moment of weakness, which, like the dastardly fiend he is, VorpalBlade could use to strike the death blow.

Just the sort of thing to maybe think about; that's only one thing to do with it. The oak, which stands strong and unyielding, topples in a strong storm, whereas the willow, which bends with the wind, does not, and all that. What I mean is, try to work with other's posts whenever possible. Sometimes it isn't possible, but then it's better to object OOC, rather than make a story post in which the person is wrong. Case in point, your entrance; during that initial mishap, would you prefer it if I'd said,

Hi, welcome to yet another installment of Naze Nani Church of Miho. Today, we're going to go outside and show you how two groups of people can look at exactly the same thread, but see totally different things...
JointAuthor-Cam
*respects fellow authors
*studies character sheets
*spell checks before posting
*follows leads of other authors
*back-edits to correct inconsistancies
*apologizes and corrects after inevitable mistakes
*builds amazing consensual illusion together with others
LoneAuthor-Cam
*cool, an audience!
*who are these other guys?
*speling? im in to much of a hury. u can figur it out!
*why doesn't that baka follow my lead?
*who cares about the plot! Time to frag!
*I don't make mistakes
*wonders why everyone else seems to be having more fun
As you can see, the reality of the two groups are completely different!
vorpal
ermmm lets try to keep the battles nice and not too overpowered. not even dwc, bgmaster, tragic bill and i are supposed to kill ppl instantaneously^_^
btw, what's the outcome of the Ed vs Dom fight? BGmaster still has to fight with him.
my schedule rite now is a fight with DWC, draw/undecided then a fight with Gkaiser, win.

Actually I thought that you would fight and kill Kaiser first.

Just set things up, the others should follow lead.
Next post really should be a story post.
Looks like we'll be making a 4th thread....

VB and everyone else - don't worry about Ed vs. Dom... that's included in my 'final battle' post, which is ready and can be put up whenever people want it.
Phaedrus, well said indeed on the Naze Nani Church of Miho thing. I agree completely.

"King, how are you such a genius?"
Derian Hatcheter
We were in some kind of conference room. Phaedrus and DietWaterCzar were attempting to converse with a couple of corporate types, and were getting nowhere fast. Finally, one of them offered some useful information.
"Ah, you want the X-files division, over in area 51. Out the door, second right, third door on your left. You can't miss it."
"Lets go," said DWC.
We walked back into the corridor and headed for the second right.
I noticed that BGMaster had separated from us, but we had picked up another sword wielding fellow. This one had a distant look in his eyes. Personally, I wondered if he was really "all there".
We rounded the corner and found another of our comrades on the floor. Cynical Swashbuckler, who had disappeared from Rent-a-zilla, er..., Cornelius, was lying on the ground.
"Aw, crap," said DWC. "He was pretty useful. I guess we'll just have to..."
DWC was cut off by "Augh ot ehd!" If he had looked closely he would have seen that Cyn was still breathing.
"This poor fellow has been paralyzed!" exclaimed Garran.
"Who did this?" asked agent Takahashi, kneeling next to the fallen Swashbuckler.
"Or-al Ade."
"Huh?" Said DWC, WoK, Queslin, and I, simultaneously.
"Vorpal Blade," translated the agent.
"Where'd he go?" asked DWC. A dark expression had come over his face.
"Calm down, man" I said. "Kimiko-sama won't want you to destroy yourself, even for her." The shadow on his face passed, and his body relaxed.
"Op hore." was translated as "Top Floor."
"It's time to finish this." Said Wizard of Kitty.
I strode down the corridor toward the elevators, but no one else followed. Turing around, I saw them all standing over Cyn, looking back and forth, from me to him.
"What?"
"Well..." started Garran. "We can't exactly leave him here. And you, being the big guy..."
"...Get to haul him around?"
"Yeah."
Sighing, I walked back. Collapsing my hockey stick, I holstered it. I grabbed Cynical and slung him over my left shoulder.
"Ooofff..."
"Sorry 'bout that. This isn't pleasant for either of us, you know."
Drawing my Enforcer, we walked to the elevator bank. Phaedrus pushed the up button, and we waited.
And waited.
And waited some more.
"J0, 7|-|3 l1f7 41||'7 ^/0|2k1||9," said Queslin.
"Then we'll take the stairs", declared DWC, and he pushed through the door.
"No, wait, guys, really, can't we wait a few more minutes? Come on, this guy's getting heavy." But the others ignored me, and filed through the door. Shaking my head, I followed them through the door and started up.
[OOC] We'll I hope I can get this story back on track, with out too many mistakes. I went home from work sick today, so I was sleeping all afternoon. About to go back to bed. If I messed anything up here, just post, and I'll correct it. Cyn, I assumed we're on the same floor when we meet up. If that's not right, we can say it is one of those MegaTokyo fluid reality things. :)
Thanks for the Naze-Nani Church of Miho; that was really needed.
BTW, I'll clear this little rant some time in the afternoon.[/OOC]

Hacheter was groaning under Cyn's weight as we climbed the stairs. How many floors were in this building?
We stopped at a landing to let him catch his breath. A door opened and a small white rabbit hopped in, holding a pocket watch and muttering "I'm late, oh dear!". He looked so innocent...but why was he just sitting there?
WizardOfKitty whispered to me: "He's a fake! He's not really late, that watch is still on Daylight Savings Time!"
Cyn looked alarmed and was feebly trying to get our attention.
"Or-al Bunny!"
Oh Dear. I rummaged in my pack, and removed a spherical object surmounted by an ornate cross.
"Would you like to do the honors?" I handed the sphere to Takahashi, who pulled off the cross. An ominious hissing could be heard.

We slowly walked up the stairs. I pitied Hatcheter, but there wasn't much I could do about it. I took the rear and carefully scanned each time we reached a new level.
We took abreak. We encouraged Hatcheter and I looked up the stairs... Hm....
I lead myself towards Phaedrus and DWC. I interrupted their conversation.
"Hey guys. Now I know we're trying to get up to Kimiko as fast as possible, but," I pointed upwords, "do you notice something wrong?"
That looked at themselves, then back at me, and shook their heads no.
"What would happen if someone sent a good number, and by that I mean a couple hundred, of frag gernades down?"
DWC just stared at me...
"Was it something I said?"

I heard a chorus of angels singing.
"HALLELUJAH!"
<Holy Hand Grenade! How on Earth did they get one?>
I started running as far away as possible,
and heard a resounding crash from somewhere several floors down. Powder rained down from the ceiling, ruining my suit. The explosion was not as large as I had expected.
"Luckily, someone forgot to count to 3", I muttered as i stalked back to the hole the explosion had made. I peered down into the smoky darkness. I didn't really expect anyone to be dead since they hadn't used the grenade properly. I really hoped they didn't have more grenades. That would be... messy.
I tossed a couple more VBunnies into the hole, adding to the confusion below.
Phaedrus
The dust settled to reveal the shaken, soot-covered, but still determined rescue party. The Vorpal Bunny scampered up the steps, and we heard it mutter something about "L1tt3R-M4t35" as it disappeared around the bend of the stairs.
I gently chided, "Ano, Takahashi...it does eventually go off, even if you don't count...
Three is the number,
but thou shalt count it before
the villains hear us! (laugh emoticon)

"That rabbit`s mine!I`ll only be a minute guys".I ran off after the creature,I didn`t know what they meant by Vorpal Bunny and I couldn`t care less,I needed something to vent my anger.
I looked back and saw nobody,'it went faster than I thought,it must think it`s leading me into a trap,ha...ah'.I suddenly duck as a white blur darts towards me at neck height.
Woah it`s fast,I don`t even get the chance to unsheath my sword,as it came for it`s 5th attack I saw him and blasted it with a crimdom(the crimdom is an extension of one`s own fist)sending the little monster flying down the corridor.
I catch up with it only to see it dart off.'That`s a little worrying it should`ve been knocked out,I could really do with Quelsins rocket launcher,guess I`ll make do with this!!'.I underwent my transformation again as a golden aura surrounded me and my hair turned gold also."Let`s see you survive this,SHHIIINNNN KKUUUUUU HADOU KEN!!!!!".
"ahhh...haaah yeah!,eat that!!"I didn`t see a scrap of white fur in the blackened corridor.Time to catch up with the other`s,now..whic..way....(huh he`s close he`s above me,time to repay your treachery Slash!)
meanwhile further up the severely damaged sega fortress
"I THINK I`LL REVERT TO MY HUMAN FORM,I WANT TO BE FRESH FOR MY BATTLE WITH MOORE,YOU DON`T OBJECT DO YOU??".Gkaiser just answered with a grunt preferring to concentrate on where Vorpal is hiding.
"SPLENDID".A crystal surrounded Slash and it began to glow brighter and brighter,now after the light-show Slash became a human in his mid-20`s,grey-haired with an athelete`s physique."Hmph a pitiful structure indeed,I`m glad Darkon raised me above this!"
"I remember when he came and saved me from this short exestence,oh am I boring you nevermind then".(Vorpal he`s coming for you,if he gives you a box don`t open it)

I stepped out of the elevator and onto the top floor. Sega apparently used elevators manufactured by the earthly equivalent of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation - I'd had to threaten death by rocket launcher followed by eternal torment in Hellfire before the stupid thing (the executive's private elevator, no less) had been willing to bring me up. Not that I'd had any idea as to how I was going to roast an elevator in Hellfire; it simply worked as a good threat. Unfortunately, 'up' did not quite include the roof.
I took a quick look at the map I'd swiped from the desk of the helpful executive. Apparently I was only a short walk from Dom's private elevator. I decided that was the best place to start looking for a way to the roof.
The upper level seemed entirely deserted. Perhaps it had been abandoned when Cornelious attacked. I didn't trust it. A few times I felt as if there was something watching me, but when I extended my awareness outward it retreated in fear. I figured that I was probably too powerful for whatever was waiting here to attack. Or maybe it was more of a warning system. No matter; I had reached the elevator shaft. It was made of some sort of shiny black material, seemingly seamless, though I knew it had to open if Dom wished to access this floor.
I took out my sword and swung. It struck with a shower of sparks and a loud noise, but when I looked, there was not a scratch on the material. I ran my fingers down it, briefly wondering exactly what it was made of and where I could get some. It did not seem that I could enter the elevator shaft, however.
'Blast it open with the power of Bhaal!' Somehow, I'd expected that, and I ignored it. Instead, I began to draw on my (albeit limited) experience in FPS games. 'What's the one way you can always get somewhere?' I wracked my brains. Then it came to me. 'Of course. The ventilation shaft. How else?'
A quick search of a nearby office turned up a grate in the ceiling, which I entered via the 'chop it to little bits' method, as it was not made of the same substance as the elevator doors. I found the shaft a tight fit for my armored form, but I was able to crawl to an upward-protruding shaft after much trial and error. I used my sword to cut holds in the smooth shaft and ascended.
Dropping onto the roof at last, I glanced around me. Not far from my current position, I spied Dom's elevator. This door was apparently also made of the strange material. There did not seem to be anything else on the roof. I glanced into the sky around me. In the far distance, I thought I could make out the faint shape of a helicopter.
'It won't be long now...'
'Yesss... soon our enemy comes for killing!' Why wouldn't that damn voice shut up? I briefly considered sending another mental message, but decided against it. I had the feeling it would be intercepted. So I settled against the ventilation shaft to wait.
[OOC - Ok, I'm in the position I need to be in for the final showdown. It's pretty much written out, and uses only me, Dom and Ed. I figure when we get to it, others can react to the aftermath. The one thing I did NOT do is include Kimiko - I figured the Kimiko gang would prefer to rescue her themselves, not have some MihoCultist on psychic steroids do it. So... let me know if there's anything specific I need to do in it... I'll be waiting for you guys. Just have Dom escape into his elevator...]

Queslin rolls over, mumbling "AFK... BRB... IDDQD.. IDBFG... IDKFA..." in her sleep, then slowly opening her eyes as Phaedrus prods her awake... She moans softly about her sore (broken) arm "p41n.. s00th1ng" blinking slowly as she mumbles her surprise at having fallen asleep with a Vorpal Bunny as a pillow...

It seems to have washed over him though, obviously it doesn't sound as suggestive to someone who wasn't just asleep. Just as well, I suppose, now's not the time...
Just for fun, I turn to a sleeping Vorpal Bunny and silently taunt it for a couple seconds, and can't stop myself from grinning at my Nekomancer friend [OOC: WizardOfKitty => Kittymancer => Nekomancer, OK? :) ] as she proclaims the Vorpal Bunny I slept on and taunted as "kawaii", proceeding to hug it to death... It is the most bizarre and perhaps one of the most cute things I have seen her do in the short time I have known her, and I wished suddenly not to be who I was - to be conventionally kawaii...
Luckily the feeling reduced from a boil to a simmer and I was able to regain my senses enough to mimic her outstandingly effective technique... While the rest of the Vorpal Bunnies were sleeping, we can get rid of them like this quietly and avoid waking the rest up...

"ugh...damm nightmare`s,hey guys<Moore takes a quick look around and see`s a lot of dead or sleeping rabbits>I`m not even gonna ask".
"don`t just sit there,kill them in their sleep"
"don`t be so...ah forget it".I got up,my legs felt like lead but my sword saved me from walking much,4..5..6"how many are there Phaedrus?"
"I don`t care just stop them from getting up"
<Moore resumed stabbing the rabbit`s

A wave of sleepiness hit me like a thick blanket. A thick, fluffy blue blanket. I could feel myself floating.
I stumbled over to the coffee machine at the end of the corridor and filled myself a cup of the black liquid. I saw things floating in there that should definately not belong in coffee. I narrowed my eyes. "This smells like cat's piss..."
I had no choice. My concentration was totally shot to hell so I couldn't teleport in a cup of the real stuff.
Pinching my nose, I poured the stuff down my throat, stifling my gag reflex. Gasping for air, I proclaimed to all who would listen, "This IS fucking cat's piss! Damn it! Those assholes are gonna pay for making me drink this!"

Takahashi sat with his back to the wall. He was vaguely aware that the poetical droning had stopped. He blinked a few times as he sat up. He looked around. Two cute girls, hugging bunnies to death... Maybe he was still dreaming? No he wasn't, he realized, as his kawaii-o-meter almost blew his head off. Only his training as an agent allowed him to keep it from being fatal. Still, it forced him to his feet, clutching his chest and shoving his mouth into his sleeve, hoping that his coughing wouldn't wake the rabbits. Holy crap! They were cuter than DiGi Charat! No, impossible! Rabi-en must be the cutest! She must!
He shook his head hard, clearing away those thoughts, and the last bits of Phaedrus's sleep poem. Good, he was an agent again. He looked around at all the deadly, but thankfully still sleeping, rabbits still present. He drew his assassin's dagger but stopped himself. Such a thing would be too cruel he decided, unless something rather serious developed.
Echo sat with his back to the wall. His eyes had turned black, and red text scrolled across each one. He blinked a few times as he sat up, clearing away the screensaver. Cripes, he had entered powersave mode! He looked around. Two cute girls... hugging bunnies to death. He knew he wasn't dreaming, though... Echo was nearly immune to such things. He WAS Ping's brother, after all. Far cuter, more bizarre things were certainly possible than this.
[!--OOC:
only have time for a short post before bed. My muse has been rather dead of late. Have a couple good epilogue ideas, but that's about it. ^^;;;
Gomenasai, gomenasai, gomenasai, Phaedrus, for missing a cherry gag that was literally handed to me. ^^;;; Just chalk it up to agents being too busy to watch Monty Python, I guess...
edit notice: I changed my last post (back on the 2nd page of this thread) slightly, so that it actually explains HOW Takahashi knew Dom was using MT-Reality to create the stick-figures. It wasn't a plot contrivance... really ^^;;;
thanks all, for keeping Takahashi in play! Echo is welcome to be used by anyone as well. His character sheet is back on the first page.
Bwa ha ha. I have some preliminary sketches of a VSoD! I'll scan & post 'em tomorrow, probably. ^_^

I woke up in a cold sweat, jarred out of a nightmare about working for the phone company. Somehow, I had that U2 song "Where the streets have no names" running in the background of that, and I was trying to write a new phone book.
Man, that neo post-modern poetry stuff just goes too far for me.
Realizing my left arm was numb, I was mortified to discover that I was holding Cynical Swashbuckler like an oversized, sword-weilding teddy bear. Shoving as hard as I could, I let him flop across the floor, away from me.
Sitting up, I pulled off my helmet and rubbed my eyes. I must not have rubbed hard enough, because it looked like the two girls were hugging the Vorpal Bunnies. After another good rub, I saw that they weren't hugging, they were squeezing. Suffocating the bunnies.
I pulled my gloves off and wiped my sweaty hands on my shirt.
"Oh, for the love of God!" Exclaimed Tragic Bill, who had just sat up next to me. "How can hands make that kind of smell?"
Getting inspiration, I leaned over to a couple of sleeping bunnies. Being careful not to wake them, I slipped my gloves over their heads. Then, I sat back, and let the sweaty odor send them to that big rabbit hole in the sky.
Standing up, I turned to the group. "We must be close now, if nap-time hasn't allowed Dom to get away. We have to find Kimiko, and then take care of Do--Hey! Is that coffee?!"
[OOC] I love the way these twisted little things come in, like the Monty Python bunny. Kudos to you guys. BTW, has it been decided where Kimiko is, or who will find her? Also, what did I find to drink? Have fun with that.[/OOC]

Queslin appears to be singing in l33t, and isn't crushing her current Vorpal Bunny nearly hard enough to kill it, in fact...
Derian: "...We have to find Kimiko!..."
"Wh0? I5 sh3 3v|L?"
...in fact, the bunny looks comfortable!
The l337 is hard to follow, but to anyone familiar with "Hush little baby, don't you cry", and "Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree-top", you recognise the tune...
It appears the Vorpal Bunny Queslin is singing to is awake, but isn't attacking... In fact, it's nestling into the crook of her arm. Needless to say, this doesn't seem like a good time to make SUDDEN LOUD NOISES that could get Queslin eviscerated :)
(My arty depiction of situation (Queslin Episode 34), including the lyrics Queslin is singing for those who speak l33t, is here)
Again, please excuse the art - I suck, but it's clearer this way... Oh, and I couldn't draw a bunny, so I went with something else that looks cuddly... (And yes, that is a sweatdrop on Queslin's head)

*kaiser walks around the hall kill the vorpal bunnies one by one it is mighty easy when there asleep he thinks to himself*

Hehe - nice :) Queslin won't appreciate that though :)
[/OOC]
Queslin stands motionless, facing away from Kaiser, towards the slain bunny...
Queslin takes a look at her blood-spattered arm, then looks over at the bunny on the wall, and back to her arm...
*sob* "wh4t h4ve y0u *DONE* ?"
"h34r7|3ss !"
Queslin pulls a very large-looking handgun off her ankle... Points it at Kaiser...
"b4d m0v3, pl4y3r 2. th4t bunny w4s (uddly"
"If w3 wer3n't in th3 middl3 of d3fe4ting a gr3ater 3v|L... I w0uld fr4g j00 wh3re j00 stand."
Queslin pulls the trigger viciously... Kaiser flinches only just perceptably as the gun emits a loud "CLICK".
"ju5t r3memb3r th4t I 0w3 j00 p41n."
She chambers a round in the collosal handgun, sights it on Kaiser's forehead, and holsters it again at her ankle... Then scowls menacingly as she begins moving up the stairs.
"Int3llig3nce 1s irr3l3vant. d0 j00 c0nsid3r y0urs3lf t0 h4v3 4ny 3m0tion? 4ny h1nt 0f hum4n1ty?"
Queslin looks like she's been peeling onions for weeks - tears stream down her face as she quietly and efficiently stalks up the stairs...

[OOC: Excellent, we have a source of angst, well done everyone, Queslin is now a sad girl :) ]

[ooc] now you've gone and done it. I'll let Queslin keep her bunny. :) [/ooc]
I blinked at the moment seeing that my bunny-clinging session was cut short thanks to G. Kaiser. I had this Ping expression on my face from Ping from strip 137 second to last panel. "But...But..." I started to clutch my metal pole trying to keep my anger from exploding.
Bye bye cute bunny
Anger burning up right now
*snap* *crackle* *kaboom*
[ooc] hmm...maybe that last line should be fixed...[/ooc]
I shoved my pole into G. Kaiser's stomach which pretty much wacked him at least 5 feet away. After a couple minutes passed, I blinked not realizing what I just did to one of the people in my group. "Huh? What just happened?"
DietWaterCzar
Well looks like we'll be making another thread.... That one better be the conclusion....
I'll start it later in the evening.

[OOC] I'm going to assume that Kaiser skillfully killed both Queslin's and WizardOfKitty's bunnies with the knife throw - it keeps our stories consistent :) [/OOC]

Cool. Looks like things picked back up. VB, no sweat about the pressure point thing. Looks like it all worked out. I'll bring myself back into action later when I've sorted trough where the story is.
