Reaping the Reapers

[srwuga_mods]

Another large-scale battle already? Why yes. Something like a hundred giant floating Aurum islands/fortresses descends upon Earth, using tractor beams to steal everything, even the ground itself!


Time to beat them back! This is mostly an aerial fight, but people who can't fly can hitch a ride on some flying things, fight atop the fortresses themselves, or attack from the ground. Some of the Aurum enemies encountered are:

And also Aurum copies of various mobile suits, other mecha, and Forces of Nature! Speaking of the Forces, they're helping us out in this fight. Apparently Viridi decided to reluctantly become at least a temporary ally...

Aftermath and Consequences

[1] Locked to those from The Greatest Plague. Giant mingle post is preferable.

[Fast as the Flutter was to get itself down to the mountains where Ideigi fell, its been some time since Richard last made contact. He's made no seeming effort to call after the crash, which certainly does not bode well...

And neither does the sight of the broken woodland on the side of the mountain. Starting from the largest area of damage, one can see several smaller trails diverge into the woods...

The broken pieces of Ideigi being the apparent cause. It would appear the Paladin was shattered by the impact, with several fracture points being where a certain Great Old One had damaged it previously...]

[...So the victory is bittersweet, in the end. The Aurum were defeated, and the already terrible situation the Earth Sphere faces has been put on hold from getting any worse...

But as the wreckage of Ideigi are placed within the hangar, opposite the remains of its counterpart Kygunei, the cost victory came at is clear. Sitting upon stumps where legs once were, Ideigi's torso is shattered and shows clearly the cockpit where Richard had once sat...

And what do you think of this sight, as it now sits plain for all to see?]

A Date At The End Of The World

 [Mad and Yui are off having dinner together tonight, away from everyone else. They've found a small, quiet hallway, off on the edges of the vast underground Hadou complex.

What with the evacuations and all, dinner's nothing complex; just some heated up prepacked food, in this case spaghetti and meatballs.]

Mmm...You know, I don't think I've been really worried about dying before.
