Even so, the information gathering attempt was still successful, with data on the barrier’s defensive properties scrolling across the Knight of Tomorrow’s visor. It was as formidable as expected, with a particular resistance to arcane attacks, such as those the high-tech heroine herself employed, but as it soon became apparent, the chamber’s armored walls would be the [i]least[/i] of her squad’s concerns… Even as MDF continued to spew her annoying taunts, the ceiling opened above the G.E.M.I.N.I. team to allow a familiar looking mech to slam down in front of them. The force of its landing caused the various agents, and lone freelancer, to lose their footing and fall to the floor. Even Ashley, with her boot-mounted gravity generators, couldn’t hep but take a knee to better stabilize herself. Yet, she and the rest of her team were back on their feet soon enough, just in time to hear a [i]very[/i] familiar voice call out from the mech’s speakers. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Finn…[/i][/color] And he wasn’t alone. Right after the clockwork esper gave voice to another edgy monologue, Ashley couldn’t help but gasp as she heard [i]Klava’s[/i] voice as well. She hadn’t seen The Maiden since she and Gale had teamed up with her to take out Sofron, and had reluctantly concluded that the freelancer had perished after falling into the bay, but whether or not the woman speaking was brainwashed, opposing them willingly, or was even the real Klava to begin with, the Knight of Tomorrow’s core objective remained the same. They needed to eliminate MDF, and to do that, they needed to neutralize this mech, and its pilots, as swiftly as possible. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Cerberus, Paradise! Take out its arms!”[/color] Ashley instructed, as she began charging her techno-wand. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Cereza, Cerise! Focus on its legs! Gale! Please guard Binky!”[/color] she added, aiming her technomantic weapon at the obviously upgraded mech, while raising her energy shield to absorb the brunt of any potential attacks it might direct her way as she readied her overpowered firing solution. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“[i]I’ll[/i] take care of the torso…”[/color] By this point, the tip of her techno-wand was glowing like a miniature supernova, which swarms of shimmering particles continued to coalesce into, while concentric rings of neon green light rapidly spun around it like a dozen frenzied gyroscopes. At the same time, a rising hum swiftly built into an ear piercing screech as transcendent, techno-mystic power rose to staggering levels. Narrowing her eyes and ensuring a positive target lock, the Knight of Tomorrow fired a gleaming, diamond-shaped spike of hard light energy directly at the mech’s center of mass.
