Eleventh Get

[not_genki_desu]

[With all the craziness regarding the Invaders, you would've THOUGHT that Kei would've been gearing up to join Hayato and company in the attack.  But no, she's kinda-sorta requisitioned a team of engineers and even taking one of the Chalice's shuttles.]

None of you better be getting the wrong idea from all of this though.  And by that I mean thinking I'm just turning and running or some bullshit like that.  Because the way I figured, we're gonna need all the help we can get for this and we can't let any stupid "I win" buttons lying around for the Invaders to push whenever the hell they feel like it.

So I'm gonna be going to see about getting Shin Dragon up and running again for this.  It's certainly got a crapton of firepower, which is exactly what we need for right now.  Anyone who wants to come along can... a little extra security while getting the thing working wouldn't hurt, or maybe you just want to pilot the thing.

Whatever the case, I'm leaving in thirty minutes, so if you're thinking about coming along, the clock's ticking.

I don't know how much help I might be, but I still owe you for Neo Getter.

[not_genki_desu]

Eh, Neo Getter went out in style, and you weren't to blame for that. Still, you've at least got some experience with Getters though... better than most of the people we've got here.

[emorangerpink]

[Laura looks to be standing a little straighter on hearing that.]

Do you really think we can do this, though? Reactivating a machine no one really understands...

[not_genki_desu]

Feh, what're you talking about? The thing's keyed to my DNA and it's really just like a bazillion Getter Gs all glued together. It'll be a snap!

[emorangerpink]

I guess that's the kind of attitude we'll all need, to get through this. And no doubt it should be able to do something to ruin the Invaders' day, then...

[not_genki_desu]

Oh don't worry.

It sucking in all the Getter radiation on Earth was just one big massive "fuck you" to their efforts on the planet. Did more in five seconds to screw them over than everyone working together for the past sixteen years.

[emorangerpink]

So we just need to get it up there to do the same again.

[aesopwarped]

Shin Dragon? That Crazy huge thing?.... No offense Kei but how the heck are we getting that fat bastard into space?

[Its unsaid. Mad's going to go with you.]

[not_genki_desu]

Same way any "Getter 1" formation gets into space: flight.

... Well, okay. Neo Getter was the exception.

[aesopwarped]

Yeah well... I'm gonna have to see that for myself to believe it.

[not_genki_desu]

Oh ye of little faith... do you want to make a wager on it?

[aesoprevived]

Heh.... Fine, what're you betting then? Gimme something I can match!

[Mad has this confident smile on her face.]

[not_genki_desu]

Hmmm...

Well then, how about my special, one-of-a-kind, "Fuck You Samus Aran, I was doing Freezing Guns Before It Was Cool or Efficient" liquid nitrogen RPG?

[aesoprevived]

....

[Mad is trying her best not to snicker too hard here.... and failing.]

'Before it was cool'?

Seriously?

[And now its outright laughter.]

[not_genki_desu]

Oh fuck you! Name one other handheld freezing weapon that was lying around here before the bounty hunter gave us all that tech for dealing with Metroids!

[aesoprevived]

[She manages to get it under control enough and shakes her head.]

We prob.. heh... probably didn't have one... but c'mon... you could've said it some way else.

... Okay... so if I win the bet, I get that RPG... but if you win...

Hell. I don't think I've got anything you might want. I'll do you a hell of a favor if you need one though.

[not_genki_desu]

Sounds like a plan, then!

And I might just reserve the right to claim something in the event you get something awesome you could still manage to part with. Nothing says I gotta redeem this now, after all.

[aesoprevived]

Heh, that'll work... now lets get moving. Sooner one of us wins the bet so we can get to fighting the space freaks, the better!

[hominilupusinexilio]

I remember Shin Getter Dragon. It is on its own the size of a small warship. You would need a converted Overlord-class dropship to even think of bringing it into space.

[not_genki_desu]

Oooooor you could just have it fly itself up into space. Duh.

[hominilupusinexilio]

I do not remember any thrusters on it. And even if it were, we wrecked it during the battle, quiaff?

[not_genki_desu]

Less wrecked and simply "burned out". The thing's more or less still intact... and even if it wasn't it's just made up of a whole bunch of Getter G fighter jets so it could just purge the damaged parts.

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

[hominilupusinexilio]

Well then I hope you manage to get it airborne. Ulric Kerensky and Werewolf are burning hard for the intercept point as we speak but we do not know if they will get there in time either.

[not_genki_desu]

Don't overclock them too hard. Help'll be awesome but they won't do any good if they burn themselves out just getting into firing range.

[hominilupusinexilio]

Not to worry, a McKenna and Cameron class warship can take quite a few Gs.

You are going inside the remains of Shin Dragon then, quiaff?

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Shin Dragon? What manner of mech is that?"

[not_genki_desu]

Only the biggest, toughest robot we're gonna have at our disposal to kick Invader ass! THAT'S what!

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"How large is it? Depending on it's size–"

And he has seen some rather large mechs during his time on Terra.

"It may be difficult to boost into orbit."

[not_genki_desu]

Oh goddammit, not you too!

Why must everyone doubt Shin Dragon can get into space on its own? The damn thing can fly just fine!

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Well getting into planetary orbit has traditionally been a hard thing to do!" Matthew yells back.

He calms down.

"Pardon. If I may ask...what kind of engines power this Shin Dragon?"
