Kiyomizu Kitsune: *dies*
Kiyomizu Kitsune: ;-;
SPSchneppII: Ladies, welcome to the Blue Heat Cup. Because of complications with time, we're starting it a bit early today.
SPSchneppII: ((Believe me, I'll be shooting the gents . . .))
SPSchneppII: So, would y'all be so kind as to state the names of your characters and the zoids they'll be using?
Kiyomizu Kitsune: Kizuna Hakumei, Red Horn and.... I got killed by a Pharoah. ;-;
Blackligerx55: Siren Falkestern, Helcat
wraith paws: Theresa Wicken, Saberlion, and Gregory Clark, Shield Liger.
SPSchneppII: Excellent. Your opposition for this bout is the Blue Stinger, piloted by Rick Xaratan's son, Kyne, and the Red Stinger, controlled by an experimental AI the Institute developed.
SPSchneppII: Much like the Hawkstar Royale, the three of you will alternate order, whereas the Big Bads will always go last. Latecomers (and there had better be some) will simply go before the Big Bads and enter regular rotation.
SPSchneppII: The battlemode is 1101-0980. The distance is approximately two hundred meters. The terrain is the Badlands Map.
SPSchneppII: Begin.
Kiyomizu Kitsune: Your a jackass Ritter. o_o *Kizuna immediately went for a semi-indirect path towards the big bads. Firing the Shotgun when possible-
Kiyomizu Kitsune: of course that's not right now. The Red horn climbed up the 4 meter shaft, hiding behind the 7 meter shaft whilst shooting the shotgun from there. Using the area in front of it to hide him but give him...
Kiyomizu Kitsune: enough space to fire.... Yeah, you can tell Kizuna knows nothing of what she's doing. ^_^*
Blackligerx55: *Siren turned on her stealth and started forwards, climbing up the first shelf she hit carefully.*

wraith paws: ~Theresa wasted no time, the Saberlion charging to the left and hopping up onto the 4m shelf, running around the left edge of the higher, 7m one. The smoke dischargers activate in brief bursts..
wraith paws: as the Lion abuses every last shred of agility it has. Its radar all active, it simply seeks to keep a good 100m away from both Stingers. Avoiding as much fire as it possibly can, ducking behind more elevated areas for cover,..
wraith paws: running back into its smoke every so often, even going as far as leaping and intentional skidding. Goal being to be as much of a pain in the ass as possible. While Theresa was busy making sure she didn't get utterly raped by the..
wraith paws: Stinger's fire, Greg's Shield Liger hopped up onto the 4m shelf as well, running to the left (careful not to hit any teammates, of course) and taking a position behind the 7m shelf, crouching, the AMD beam gun popping up and..
wraith paws: blasting away at whichever Stinger was easiest to tag at the moment. In an attempt to keep the things guessing, Greg would stop firing, crouching the Liger down lower, and creep a bit further left or right before popping up again..
wraith paws: getting a missile lock on Blue as he leapt onto the 7m shelf, firing 8 of those buggers out, and leaping back behind the shelf, crouching and waiting for a bit before resuming AMD beam fire...
wraith paws: doing a few more pause-duck-move-pop up again things. At the end of the round, though, the Liger stopped, crouching low, and put up its shield, keeping a watchful eye on the sides of the 7m shelf and ready to charge forward for a..
wraith paws: shield ram to any invader. Of course, in said ram, weary of running directly into dangerous and painful melee-stuff. And yep, that's it. Christ, my moves are long. .>_>~
MachinaSanti: Kent Pierce, Piloting THE Canon Tortoise,with Ontos.
MachinaSanti: *"Alright...let's see now" Kent clenched the controls of the Canon Tortoise, slowly back up just a bit, before aiming the canon over the 4m shelf with the aid of the composite sensor...
MachinaSanti: and over the 7m one..and..goes far..far..but where to? It goes straight to the 12 meter one and lobs the Red Stinger a nice big fucking mortars. Kent uses the sensors the whole time to keep a constant tail on the Stinger, all the
MachinaSanti: while, keeping his postion and throwing big ass explosives at the Red Stinger. << He'll keeps his other guns for now*
SPSchneppII: *Without a word, the two Stingers rose up, bouyed by their thrusters, and glided down the slope. They picked up speed quite quickly, sliding to a halt once they reached the slope where everybody seemed to be partying. Kyne took a
SPSchneppII: bare second to force-fire his missiles at the seven-meter shaft the Liger seemed to have fun playing on, whereas the Red Stinger discharged both railcannons into it. Having evaded the Cannon Tortoise's initial attack, they were
SPSchneppII: relatively safe. Relatively. They scooted out to either side, the Red Stinger going towards the Tortoise, the Blue back from whence he came. The Red Stinger's laser chainclaws flared to life. It zipped past the Tortoise, snagging
SPSchneppII: the hooks at the tips of the claws into the shell and letting its momentum sling it around the Tortoise, lacerating the back-mounted weaponry. Kyne, on the other hand, came in and gave the Saberlion what-for. Maneuvering at maximum
SPSchneppII: speed, he was most certainly the most agile thing on the field. His laser blade flicked out as he strafed around the maneuvering kitty, and then he snagged it with the claws. Setting down and holding it there, he lacerated the damn
SPSchneppII: thing, charging the blade as he did so.* "Face it. You're just not up to par."
SPSchneppII: Judgment: The battle starts off with the Cannon Tortoise blasting the spot right between the Stingers, cooking the bugs. The only reason they're around right now is that they were moving outta there, and caught only the tail end of
SPSchneppII: the blast. The Helcat and Saberlion charged up to meet the two, whereas the Red Horn headed up the northern shelf. The Liger made ample use of its agility and leapt straight up, clambering up onto the seven-meter-tall tapering top.
SPSchneppII: It had an uneasy foothold, and one that was about to become a helluvalot less stable. The Stingers fired their weaponry into the shelf, the stinger missiles penetrating deep. Before anybody knew what was going on, the Stingers were
SPSchneppII: outta there and about half of the rock shelf was collapsing down on the Saberlion and Helcat. Had the Red Horn been there, it would've been seriously, seriously screwed.
SPSchneppII: As it was, the Shield Liger was the first one down. The Helcat and Saberlion followed the Blue Stinger, escaping the small landslide. The Blue Stinger snared the Saberlion, spinning about to kill both of their momentum.
SPSchneppII: It unleashed stabbity death, but Red Horn to the rescue!
SPSchneppII: Though it certainly wasn't fast enough to spare the little kitty, the Red Horn's shotguns blasted away at the Blue Stinger, chewing away at the armor and structure.
SPSchneppII: Unfortunately for the challengers, the Red Stinger was much better off. It caught the Cannon Tortoise off its guard, the laser chainclaw shearing through the armor. It spiked the particle beam cannon, coming within inches of setting
SPSchneppII: off the ammunition as it spun away, circling around to face the Tortoise again.
SPSchneppII: Damage and Positions:
SPSchneppII: Red Horn -- About a hundred meters north of the Blue Stinger, Helcat, and Saberlion. No damage.
SPSchneppII: Helcat -- About thirty meters away from the Blue Stinger, in the valley between the Stingers' starting points and the seven-meter shaft.
SPSchneppII: Saberlion -- Blue Stinger's clutches, and nothing south of the head is responding. The screen displays a Command System Freeze.
SPSchneppII: Shield Liger -- Heavy structural damage just about everywhere from the fall, and it's buried under some rubble. Should be able to get out fairly quick, though. Performance is roughly eighty percent overall.
SPSchneppII: Cannon Tortoise -- Aside from that big slice, you're not noticing any response from the liquid-cooled particle beam cannon. All other systems are just dandy, though.
SPSchneppII: Blue Stinger -- Moderate armor damage all over, concentrating to heavy armor damage on the fore and some structural damage where the AZ60mms penetrated. It's about thirty meters away from the Helcat, one hundred from the Red Horn.
SPSchneppII: Red Stinger -- Moderate-light armor damage all over. It's about ten meters behind the Cannon Tortoise.
SPSchneppII: Reverse order and continue. Recall that the Big Bads always go last.
MachinaSanti: *Kent goes off an swears, and does what he can..do. The ACGs rotate to the back and fill the Red Stinger with bullets, going with teh Canon Tortoise as it attempts to turn to face the Red Stinger in all it's glory...as soon as he
MachinaSanti: coulld see the whites in the stinger's eye...which..probably would be never, but as soon as he saw the Red Stinger, he aimed the Ontos and the tracer repeaters and filled the Red Stinger full of as many bullets as he could.
MachinaSanti: Constantly firing onto the Red Stinger, hoping to down it*
wraith paws: ~Theresa twitches in the cockpit. Nothing south of the head, huh? >_> Seeing as how all three blades and teeth were there, she figured it was worth a shot to try and charge and use the buggers, thrashing and hacking and..
wraith paws: gnawing viciously. But that's about all she hoped for, otherwise, just saying a quick prayer for the rest of her temporary teammates. Meanwhile, Greg's Liger drags its ass out of the rocky ground and charges for Blue, going around..
wraith paws: to the opposide side the Horn was, firing all his frontal weaponry and even the tail-mounted gun in the case of being pursued. Laserfangs charged, the Liger flat-out pounced, sinking his fangs wheerever he could, the base of..
wraith paws: Blue's tail being the prefered target as he clawed and bit and tore, looking to cause the maximum ammount of pain while using his weight to keep Blue at least partially pinned. Remaining missiles fired, and frontal weaponry..
wraith paws: continued going point-blank, only stopping when he threatened shooting himself. No matter what happened, Greg wasn't going down without a fight, thrashing viciously n'such.~
Blackligerx55: *Siren's Helcat turns away from the Blue Stinger, running as fast as possible.*
SPSchneppII: ((*Laughs*))
Kiyomizu Kitsune: *Kizuna... started laughing. That's all she did as she had the Red Horn climb over the rubbel and run/climb down the four meter shelf... Charging at hell itself with the Red Horn's horn locked and ready. All aimed for the Blue
Kiyomizu Kitsune: Stinger's legs on the right side. All the while the shotgun was fired at a semi-automatic rate with the missiles locked and fired at the blue stinger, avoiding friendly fire upon her temporary teammate as she did so.
Kiyomizu Kitsune: As she ran through the legs, Kizuna attempted to throw in a Tail smash as she attempted to pass the stinger.
Kiyomizu Kitsune: The red horn then turned around and went in for another smash, but not to the legs... but point blank into the Ass of the sucker. Trying to puncture it and input a bit of acidy goodness.*
SPSchneppII: "Red." *Kyne knew a bad situation when he saw one. Of course, there's no bad situation the Cavalry can't solve. Disengaging from the Cannon Tortoise, the Red Stinger tackled the Shield Liger from behind. It
SPSchneppII: slipped the laser chainclaws through the hindlegs at the hips, hamstringing the kitty almost casually as it landed on the Liger, using the kitty to ground it as the Tesla Cannon discharged the lightning it's been storing for a spot
SPSchneppII: of time. Meanwhile, the Blue Stinger tossed aside the Saberlion's writhing remains and boosted towards the Red Horn, coming at it straight on. In a classic Ritter move, though, the Blue Stinger darted to the side just a few meters
SPSchneppII: away, coming in low and fast. The tail worked overtime, coming in and out like the needle of a sowing machine as it worked on the Horn's flank from point-blank range. The Blue Stinger strafed around to the Horn's back, then pushed
SPSchneppII: the thrusters to their max as it hopped up onto the Red Horn's back and dissassembled the back-mounted weaponry with the claws and tail.*
SPSchneppII: Judgment: And round two opens with a singularly furious bout. Spotting the Shield Liger pulling itself out of the rubble, Kyne called in the Red Stinger as he darted off to deal with the Red Horn. The Red Stinger ignores the spray
SPSchneppII: of fire from the Cannon Tortoise as it reached the Liger just as the feline was readying to pounce. The laser chainclaws sliced through, cutting deep and disrupting those plans as the heavier zoid rams into the Liger. If that wasn't
SPSchneppII: enough, the Liger receives a serious jolt as it helps ground the Red Stinger's prototypal Tesla Cannon. The lightning bolt arced across the field, pegging the Helcat and shorting out just about every electrical system it has.
SPSchneppII: Weapons, stealth measures, even most of the controls are toasted.
SPSchneppII: The Blue Stinger charges towards the Red Horn, taking a few good shots from the linear cannons before making contact. The shots really worked over its armor and structure, and it was all the Stinger could do to climb up the tail
SPSchneppII: before the linear cannons blasted it off from point-blank range, letting the Red Horn turn around and gore the little sonuvabitch. The first of the Stingers is down.
SPSchneppII: Damage and Positions:
SPSchneppII: Cannon Tortoise -- No new damage. Same position.
SPSchneppII: Shield Liger -- Very heavy structural damage and moderate-heavy electrical damage all over. Performance is barely thirty percent. Shield's down. MIssiles won't lock.
SPSchneppII: Helcat -- If I said you were a melted brick, I wouldn't be far off. The Helcat has suffered serious electrical damage, resulting in a combat system freeze. Expect a reboot in ten seconds or so.
SPSchneppII: Red Horn -- You don't really notice much damage save for the obvious of a line cut along your flank.
SPSchneppII: Blue Stinger -- Down. Definitely down. It blasted off rather comically, actually.
SPSchneppII: Lament, by the way, would be pissed.
SPSchneppII: Red Stinger -- No real damage, but the Tesla Cannon is reset.
SPSchneppII: The Red Stinger is atop the Shield Liger. The Helcat is about fifty meters south of the Red Horn, forty-five from the Shield Liger. The Cannon Tortoise is sixty meters east of the Shield Liger and Red Stinger.
SPSchneppII: *Cannon Tortoise is sixty meters west of the Shield Liger and Red Stinger.
SPSchneppII: Reverse order and continue.
Kiyomizu Kitsune: *The Red Horn gave off a squeel (okay more Kizuna but that's far from the point) and turned and charged towards the Shield and the Red Stinger, firing the shotgun at a semi-automatic...
Kiyomizu Kitsune: pace while attempting another puncture and acidify erm.... thinger. Right into the sucker's main body.*
Blackligerx55: *Siren just kinda sat there and waited for her Helcat to reboot.*
wraith paws: "BRING IT THE FUCK ON, RED!" ~Greg roared, ignoring the fact the AI thinger was like.. not actually.. a person. But whatever. Red was on top, and the Liger wasn't all that pleased about that.. but eh, he'd work with it..
wraith paws: The Liger clung desperately to Red, grappling on with teeth and claws, availible weapons that had any chance of hitting Red firing as an afterthought. Even if he couldn't keep Red from getting away, there'd still be an extra 92..
wraith paws: tons he'd have to drag around. The goal was simple, of course - keep Red's movement limited so that the rest would have a better shot. That's all there was to it, and Greg did everything in his power to accomplish that goal.~
MachinaSanti: *GOD FUCKING DAMN IT RED. <_<; The Cannon Tortoise uses the Composite Sensors to find the Red Stinger, turns to face it and CHARGES WITH ALL IT'S GOD DAMN TURTLE POWER...
MachinaSanti: with all the guns blazing to nail the Red STinger, careful not to hit anything else, using the Ontos, with it's 6x AZ 108mm glory, and all the constant repeater fire also. Every single last gun turned to the Red Stinger, EVERYTHING
MachinaSanti: fired as the Canon Tortoise charged the Red Stinger, trying to do as much damage as possible. Dieee!*
SPSchneppII: *The Red Stinger's AI underwent several computations in a matter of microseconds. It assessed the threat level each zoid provided, and then formulated a plan to disable each of them in turn.
SPSchneppII: Recalibrating its systems took another millisecond or so, and then the Red Stinger lifted off the Shield Liger. Eliminating it with a casual laser chainclaw swipe through the neck,
SPSchneppII: it was on the Helcat before the head hit the ground. Hooking the little sucker with the laser chainclaws' pick, it spun around and used its momentum to fling the little zoid up and over, sailing sixty meters in a perfect parabolic
SPSchneppII: arc to land square on the Cannon Tortoise. It had extrapolated the Tortoise's position by the charge and maxiumum speed. And now that those three were eliminated, it was now time for the Red Horn to suffer a similar fate.
SPSchneppII: The Red Stinger barely stood still for a full thirty milliseconds as it aimed and fired the railcannons at the back-mounted weaponry, cleanly shooting the linear cannons off through their base. The triple 50mm repeaters joined in,
SPSchneppII: the fire focused perfectly on one weapon after the other as the Red Stinger moved like a blur from one point to the next, coming to meet the Red Horn's charge with its laser chainclaws. Skirting to the left, it sliced through both
SPSchneppII: legs as the Horn's momentum carried it through the roaring chainsaw blades.*
SPSchneppII: Judgment: All Hell breaks loose as the AI goes kebonkers, opening up its fullest reaction time and calculation ability. The bodies hit the floor one by one, all to a background of Kyne laughing his ass off. It took less than six
SPSchneppII: seconds for the Red Stinger to annihilate the opposition, finishing up with a dramatic head-on charge with the Red Horn.
SPSchneppII: For the first time in site history, the Big Bad has won! The Red Stinger's AI is the victor!
SPSchneppII: The Athens Institute of Zoid Design and Technology will handle all repairs and costs. ((They be instantaneous, bitches.))
wraith paws: w00t!
MachinaSanti: whoo o_o Canon!
SPSchneppII: Check the Blue Heat Cup announcement for prizes. Good fight, folks.
