Return of the Sinners - battle log

[srwuga_mods]

It's a battle over the Pacific Ocean, where the gigantic fleshy blob of Cthulhu floats over the continent of R'lyeh, trying to raise it! While a small group breaks into the inside of the evil god, the rest of us has to face its minions! There are individually weak, but incredibly numerous! Enemies encountered include:

Destroyer Robots - oldschool robots straight from a 60s movie, but mecha sized. They are varied but most can fly and shoot some kind of missiles or beams.
Deep Ones - fish-faced humanoid abominations from the sea! They vary in size from human to giant robot-sized. Some possess extra mutations.
Dagon- and Hydra-lookalikes - slug-like monsters the size of a small battleship. Disgusting.
Cthulhu's tentacles - the blob cannot spam lasers in its current state, but it still has lots of tentacles it tries to use for melee.

We're not alone in this battle, various organizations are helping out as well! Also, Metatron and Sandalphon are going through their duel nearby, but that's not a part of the giant battle and Metatron seems to be winning anyway.

[Well Ichi is keeping himself busy by playing defense for the battleships around the area. Rushbird rips into one of the slug-like creatures attacking a ship and unloads a huge beam into it. It shrieks for a while before finally going silent.]

That's one down...

[bakaribbon]

[A familiar voice comes in over the radio.]

Hey, Ichi? Is that you?

[There's a sonic boom, and white blur slams into the Dagon horde not far away, the ocean boiling and exploding as a huge crater comes into existence, then collapses. And as the mist and gore from the blast clears, who should be there but...Imber.]

How's it going?

[rushing_wings]

That's Imber....Haruka!?

What are you doing here!? Aren't you busy with idol stuff?

Team Enthusiasm Go Go Gooooooo!

[curse_u_reflexes]

Don't lose sight of the battle!

[The Null Shift lets loose its rarely-used chaffs once again to divert a number of Destroyer Robot missiles way from the Rushbird before shooting down the Robots who sent them in the first place!]

But it's good to see you again, Haruka!

[sleepyhades]

Huh...?

[After being left behind by the other goddesses, Plutia now finds herself face to face with one of the Dagon-lookalikes. She's standing on the floating remains of a downed Destroyer Robot...which might be a miracle in itself.]

But...I'm not supposed to transform...

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Do not get distracted, Godling!"

Here comes Matthew, soaring over the Destroyer Robo in his Nova, unloading all his lasers in a full Alpha Strike at the incoming Dagon-esque.

"The slightest hesitation may cost you your life!"

[space_macgyver]

Oryaaa!

[Red Frame leaps on Dagon and starts slicing and dicing like crazy. It only has the normal-sized katana on hand, but Lowe makes up for it with ferocity!]

Just how many of these things are there?!

[gurrenbrigbonded]

Matthew deploys his Heat Falcon and sends them to stab and skewer Dagon along with Lowe. Then he borrows a page from the book of Kratos and starts swinging the Heat Falcons around via their control cables, slicing and dicing!

"Too! Stravag! Many!" He exclaims.

[sleepyhades]

Thank you...!

[While this happens, the rusted, but still floating wreckage of that Destroyer Robot that Plutia is standing on just sloshes around in the water. She has to drop to her knees to stop herself from falling off; but thanks to your interventions, CHOMP was avoided!]

Here's a present...

[She thanks her saviors the only way she knows how: and that's by healing and strengthening their machines.

Unfortunately, a group of those Cthulhu tentacles bursts out of the water moments later...]

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Watch out, Godling!" Matthew shouts in alarm as the tentacles appear.

"Magical Girls are weakened by the pigmentation chemicals of Cephalapods!"

[mecha_eihwaz]

Providing support. Trance Bit!

[Evil tentacles are cut down by several spinning blades before they can do anything lewd! Unless spraying nasty fluid everywhere counts.]

What's the matter? Why aren't you transforming?

[sleepyhades]

Um...I'm not a Godling...and I'm not a Magical Gir...!

[A bit too late for a warning or help, because she's suddenly snatched by yet another group of those tentacles in the middle of her explanation. Not that she's even fast enough to run from them in the first place.

And all of a sudden, things go quiet.]


...I was trying...to say something to that person...!

[There's a blood red light coming from Plutia's body right now...and even the remaining tentacles around her freeze completely. What the hell.

As for your question Lily, maybe you're about to find out why...]

[space_macgyver]

Watch out!

[Lowe aims at those tentacles to cut them to size. Hopefully before... whatever is supposed to happen, happens.]

Just what is going on? I don't need even more surprises!

1/2

[sleepyhades]

[Slicing and dicing works very well, Lowe. As for what's left...]

It's okay...I won't be much help if I stay like this either...so...here I go...

2/2

[mega_s_drive]

[The red light abruptly gathers around its source, and detonates in the form of a black pillar of energy that swallows the rest of the tentacles- shocking them and causing them to squirm! This is followed by...well...very un-Plutia like laughter from a winged, leather-clad woman, wielding a curved sword with a serrated edge...]

...Moreover, touching -me- without my approval? What impertinent, filthy little appendages.

I don't particularly care about which 'god' you belong to. It's about time you're taught a -thorough- lesson in manners!

Re: 2/2

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"Ha-Ha!" Matthew chortles, not yet picking up on the ominous nature of Plutia's 'transition'.

"Now that is what I call pure arrogance and fighting spirit!"

[mecha_eihwaz]

That's a, how to put it, curious alternate form...

[mega_s_drive]

Isn't it~? I rather like it myself. Just like Neppy; there are things I can only say and do when I'm like this...such as...

[She flicks her sword, and it extends - lashing out in a wild and unpredictable manner, not unlike a whip. Turns out the blade is actually segmented and held together by a chain. Even the tentacles that weren't hit by the attack are backing off at the sight now.]

And don't get me wrong; as a Goddess, I know my place. The ones that don't...are -these-!

[Another crack of the whip-sword, and a sphere of lightning expands from the weapon's tip. The water conducts all that electricity- turning Deep Ones and tentacles into screaming and squirming piles of burnt meat. It even zaps a nearby Hydra, which shrieks.]

Now -that's- what I like to hear. More...! Louder!

[emorangerpink]

...I'm starting to think there's something to those rumours about Kurou.

[Laura's been focusing on cutting down enemies quickly and efficiently to conserve Sophium, so Plutia's... indulgence... is doubly off-putting to her.]

[mecha_eihwaz]

I think I'm starting to see why she wasn't allowed to use this transformation...

[hammerinhero]

You can bet that the Kris-X-Buster is out there, punching and hammering evil monsters in the face! It's playing a more defensive role in this battle, letting the mindless abominations who get close to the White Chalice have a taste of its Cross Breaker and Fist of Justice!

"None who try and spread chaos and madness will be forgiven! I will protect my friends from your filth!"

His fist takes out a formation of Destroyer bots, sinking their lead and causing the rest to scatter.

[cleavestwice]

Watch your surroundings!

[Fate's playing a similar role, darting about the battlefield to cover gaps in the Chalice's defenses and unleashing lightning bombardments whenever she has space to do so.]

This isn't an experience I'd hoped to ever repeat...
