Serah felt the shocks of impact rock her body somewhat, wincing at the enormous amount of G-forces created from it. Soon after she had Atty stab its blade straight through the middle of that white frame, she felt it going limp. Its then that Serah also noticed someone else on the other side, Dynasty. It'd yanked off the blade off of that other melee framewerk from before, jamming it right in alongside Serah to guarantee that kill. "Hm~!" the girl gleefully hummed to herself, knowing that she worked together with one of her allies to take something bigger than her down. Then something caught Serah's eye on one of the holographic screens inside the control panel. Two, actually. The first was Yaeger's signal being lost, and the second was a volley launched straight at her. "Atty!" she screamed, quickly pulling up both wings to intercept its fire whilst ignoring how the framewerk's blade was still stuck inside the now-dead target. They did their job well enough, drawing in most of the fire...

...But then both barriers shattered like glass. At that very moment, time slowed down to a crawl for Serah. Her brain took their time to process what was going on. A hail of armor-piercing slugs was firing towards a frail, light body. The girl's very own Atty. "Sorry, Atty-" she managed to conjure up in thought, right as the volley of slugs punched their way through every single one off Atty's systems. "IAAAAA!!" she screamed as every fiber of her body stung in pain, her sharing every twang of pain AA-XOTRY felt. The moment seemed to last an endless amount of time, and the framewerk got almost completely destroyed in the meanwhile. Once it ended, visible smoke rose from Atty as its right arm hung limp, and head was down. Serah needed a few moments to recover herself, eyes wide open as she still felt the aftershocks of that intense feeling she'd just gotten.

The girl lowered her head back down to the screens, with her eyes having gone completely blurry and her hands numb. She grit her teeth, feeling a throbbing pain rattle around in her skull. She seriously wanted to blank out, just fainting inside of the cockpit. And for a little while, it looked like she would. But then, through the blur her eyes, she felt something. It wasn't right for her to faint just yet. As her vision returned, little by little, she took in the sight of all systems being red... But not down. "...You'd... Still hold on for me?" Serah asked her own machine in surprise, and now an actual smile of relief crossed her face. "...Thank you..." she mused, pulling herself back into her seat.

Everything hurt. It took Serah a miracle of willpower to even get upright, let alone scan the battlefield once more. Paladin was gone. Caretaker was down. And Sköll was about to finish off someone else. Serah grit her teeth again. "no..." they mused. "No...!" she mused again, a little bit louder this time. She focused all of her concentration into Atty's left arm, trying to wrangle the blade out of the white framewerk. "I won't allow it..." Serah stabilized, though anger was starting to overflow her. "Atty... Please... Hold out, just this little bit longer!" she begged silently. The framewerk pulled out its blade and took one step back, then clutched their arm tightly around the energy blade. With the last of its might, it swung once to fire off an energy sickle at where Irina jumped, trying to catch her mid-air. Serah had put in all of the current energy of that blade into that swing, so the sickle was supposed to be larger than normal if fate smiled upon the girl. But that was probably everything Atty was capable of, with all other systems failing rapidly and Serah finally blacking out from the pain.

Hmm... it's been 2 days since any action in the ic has occurred. Which groups still have things to do?

@Scarifar

Me and Xei have a duel going on, and Hayate/Vincent/Maisy have a round-robin style duel going on. Once those two go up I'll move it.

@Ammokkx
And that's what makes it a perfect training mission: get the pilots to think they are in a life-or-death scenario even if they're told they aren't in one.

@Ariamis

I figured the same thing! And I really love it for that. You're doing great work on this so far, Ariamis.

<Snipped quote by Ariamis>

Well, In-Character we don't really have much reason to believe that it really is non-fatal since we've seen plenty of the other team die gruesomely and have been tricked and cheated at every turn.

@Dragoknighte

I agree with this, but outside of the current convo's context. I REEEEAAAALLLY doubt you'd get anything more than a gold star with 'You Tried' on it for this mission. But yeah, the fact we've seen others die gives the characters themselves pretty good reason to believe this is fatal.

@Eklispe

Basically they want a wall that never dies and keeps going back to the graveyard meaning the only way to get rid of it is to send it to the deck or to the hand.

SO kinda broken really.

@1Charak2

I interpret the effect like this:

Specter dragon is in the graveyard. It gets banished, then returns. Now, on the next turn after that effect resolves, it gets Special Summoned to the field as long as you control no monsters and your opponent does at least one.

If that is indeed the effect, I'm honestly fine with it. There's ways to get around a wall like that.

(plus, you could pull the card and augment a really strong DARK recycle chaos engine. Why would you be complainin'? =P)

@Xeiyenreisha, I want you to clarify how the effect is used in your own words so we can all get a better image of the card.

Name: Reading Up
Spell type: Normal
Effect: Remove 3 Spell Counters from your side of the field; Draw 2 cards. You cannot add any Spell Counters to cards you control when this card resolves.

@Scarifar

I... I think I love this card. It's dope. Accepted.

Fixed by Ammokkx.

Name: Fusion Reload (so that it doesn't get confused for something that actually fuses)
Spell type: Normal
Effect: Reveal one Fusion Monster in your extra deck. If the specific materials listed on that card are in your graveyard, you can activate the following effect:
● Add those monsters and one Polymerization from your graveyard to your hand, if possible. Then, shuffle cards from your hand into the deck equal to the amount of cards added to your hand by this card's effect.

Edit: What do you guys think about this card? Anything wrong with it?

@Xeiyenreisha

Everyone was fine with it, so accepted.

Name: Barrier Guardian of the Drought
Level: 8
Attribute: Earth
Monster Type(s): Effect/Rock
Effect: No monsters can be Special Summoned, except for EARTH monsters.

@Eklispe

Sorry for not getting around to it earlier. Naturally, it's accepted.

Goddamn it, I TOLD you to ask what others thought of it. *sigh*

I fixed the wording and it looks fine to me, but I want some shared opinions on the power of this thing. Personally I find there's no use for it while Fusion Recovery is a thing, but I wanted to see others' opinions on it as well.

@SillyGoy You 'Like' the most random posts sometimes =P

Serah felt that hit one the barrier, getting a slight sting in the shoulder. Her feedback sensors reported minimal damage, but Atty's global status was now in the yellow. One of the thrusters was jammed though, so flying was out of the question. Not unless she wanted to crash into everything. Luckily for the girl, Ariin had covered her with a full volley of his main weapons straight onto the gun wielding frame. Her congratulations were silent because of her communications having been purposefully shut off, but Paladin could have still seen Atty giving them a thumbs up with their back turned to them. Serah braced herself with her blade, having completely missed Harold's rescue on the sword. But then a stinging pain surged through Serah's head. "Ngh~?! A-Atty...?" she muttered, as her synchronization was suddenly fluctuating all over the place. "Atty, what's wrong?!" she frantically asked right before her attention was pulled away by the raging battle. Harold had taken on another heavy frame in a one-to-one bullet hell standoff, pumping the other frame full of lead. But alas, the thing proved to be durable, and Rostosov's guns not so much.

Serah's attention was pulled away from that fight when suddenly she lost status of a frame. Eiswolf, to be precise. And then Black Star. Her eyes widened, realizing they were taken out already. "N-No way..." Serah mumbled, when shortly after a third signal followed. Logic Gate. One by one, every frame was being mutilated. And judging by what happened to the other cadets... "I-It..." Serah stammered, starting to breathe heavily. Red lights were beginning to flare up, and Atty's synchronization was getting dangerously low. The girl thought they were dead already.

"And what are you doing, getting upset?" a little voice rang in the bluenette's head. It was if time stopped around her for just those few moments. "You don't deserve it. That's only reserved for others." the little impish voice continued, and Serah grit her teeth. "R-Right... I don't deserve it..." she muttered, her entire head becoming blank. Her emotions all but faded into the void, and a forced smile crept across Serah's lips. "I can't get upset. A lonely girl like me should have smiles for everyone, right?" she cheerfully spoke, and an artificial happiness crept up in her chest. She looked up to the feedback from her camera, seeing a white frame pass her by just now. Atty's hand clutched tighter around the sword, and a second one soon followed. Serah's mind was a complete blank right now, nothing occupying it except for the battle and Atty. "Let's go, Atty~!" she cheerfully spoke to her framewerk, turning around and dashing to the stark white opponent. AA-XOTRY leaped forward to stab it straight through the middle, intending to skewer it on the edge of the energy blade..

Yeah I'll post today.

Also, @Ammokkx Synchros can't be Normal Monsters. They can be non-effect but not Normal.

@SillyPhilly

*shrug* Dun show up in the Custom Cards section anyway, so doesn't matter much. By the way, add [] around your @'s if you want to mention.

The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

Unless people are still doing things, it may be time for a timeskip.

@Scarifar

Two groups are, in fact. I'm going to wait on those groups to finish before moving on.
