BTW anyone in the bowser group, Blazermate is more passively healing people by bouncing her healing beam around. Since she can't really overheal, she wont really be focusing on someone unless they're getting hammered.
Blazermate knew a fight was inevitable, and she was ready for it. What she wasn't ready for however, was Bowser taking her off his shoulders as she got into a combat stance and protected her and kirby from the blocks that were flying towards them. "Oooh, so chivalrous~." Blazermate said after Bowser used his shell to block the projectiles coming for her and kirby. She noticed fairly quickly however that Michael wasn't with her and Kirby in Bowser's arms. As Bowser took a relatively unrefined defensive stance, Blazermate got back into her combat stance and started to fight what was near Bowser, swapping her healing beam onto either Bowser or Michael, depending who was injured at the time. And while that did occupy her left arm, she had her pigtails and right hand to fight with, and these enemies were fairly... weak if she was honest.
There were lots and lots of weak points on these things she could see with her scan ability, most of them being on the head. Add in how slow these things were, so slow that even a newbi medabot could read and react to their movements, and the only thing that actually made them a threat was the sheer amount of them. Jumping and using her pigtails like swinging maces, she smacked the approaching goombas right on their head, squishing them flat from the force much to her... bewilderment. It was like these things acted more on TV show logic than actual physics, this world sure was strange!
It probably helped that a lot of these creatures had an exceptionally hard time dealing with any attack from above, what with their weak points being their heads and whatnot. You'd think these things would wear hard hats or something to make up for this weakness, but nope. What was even sadder was just how little damage these things seemed to do when they impacted Bowser, just a little bit of a healing beam on him and he was good as new. Especially with Blazermate smacking the occasional shell back through the enemy ranks. Sure when she hit one a naked turtle in boxer shorts came out and tried to attack her, but their lack of mobility or ability to attack airborne targets was pretty bad. And what was even worse, was that these shells, when smacked back, would devastate the enemy lines until they hit a wall or the very occasional minion that could smack them back. If these were Bowser's minions, it was no wonder why he seemed to hold herself and the others in such high regard if all he had was simple cannon fodder like these things.
Although she did muse if she didn't know about or inferred about how these things were weak in the head and had no way to fight an airborne opponent, these things could maybe pose a threat. But then again, most medabots, even the new ones, wouldn't really have much difficulty with enemies of this level. "Bowser, buddy, you should probably get up. These things aren't even a threat." She said, casually smacking a koopa shell back with one pigtail while smacking the koopa that came out of the shell with her other pigtail. And apparently the Centurion, sensing battle, didn't find these things all that much of a problem either. Although he seemed to have a little more difficulty than Blazermate with them, what with him attacking them from below instead of above.
I wouldn't say I'm too knowledgeable about writing, but a prominent author once said that conveniences to get into trouble are fine, while conveniences to get out of trouble are cheating.
I really like this quote/idea. Did you get this from one of those author autobiographies or something?
@Delta44 I've not played any FE game, hence why I couldn't play Female Robin here.
Same mate. All I know is smash bros has too much FE and hardly anyone is unique in it. Got like 4-5 copies of one character, Robin, and Corrin. Not even the spacies have that many clones of fox...
Also wasn't there a pokemon/FE crossover game at some point?
yup. Operation living siege tower is going excellently so far. Now we shall see how it does in the trails to come first test: anti mook combat. second test: platforming
Crazy fan levels made in Mario Maker are becoming canon with Bowser. XD
Can't wait til the Kritz. Then instead of normal fireballs, we'll have the ultra jumbo fireballs that have just a smidge of star. xD
Lowkey this group needs an active tactician though. Bowser is just... well... too blunt lol
Well if our characters gain the traits of our kindred spirits, or even a little bit, then Blazermate could probably co-tacticion with like say, Zer9 or someone else. The Medic knows how to play the long game really well. He did trick the devil out of his soul after all.
Blazermate is riding on top of Bowser, and if Michael takes up the offer, he'll be riding with her and be in Bowser's group as well. Figured someone with a sniper rifle would prefer to ride on the giant turtle monster's back and not have to walk everywhere.
I tend to add the @mentions after I've typed up the post in an edit, so yeah. hope thats alright.
A lot of people seemed to be following Bowsers lead, after all he was the one taking affirmative action and was probably the most familiar with this area from what she could tell. Taking a look as to who was following the group, right now it looked like it was her, Bowser of course, the cowboy, Geno, Michael as he'd call himself, Linkle, Toba, and... a new cat person? Blazermate didn't see him before, was he just hidden and got up recently like that Din lady? Well, he seemed friendly enough. "Sorry buddy, Geno, Zer0, and I are the only robots I've seen so far. Stick around, I'm sure you'll find him soon enough." Blazermate said.
Around this time Bowser offered her a ride on his back, which Blazermate accepted. Hopping up on his shell she rested herself in between the spikes, keeping her healing beam on Kirby. Thankfully for Bowser her robotic frame was very lightweight yet durable, so she didn't add much weight for him to carry. On her new perch, she could see the rest following the group more clearly and noticed the onion bird man Toba walking behind Linkle. Blazermate, having been preoccupied healing Kirby and talking with Bowser, wasn't really able to talk to him much, especially considering all the questions he seemed to have. Although she had a very hard time making out what he was saying sometimes, she had heard his question he asked her while she was chatting with Bowser.
Pointing at him with her free hand, she said. "Hey Toba, you had some questions about me?" Remembering the question Geno had as well, she said. "I'm a medabot, a highly advanced combat robot. I'm a -mate model, which means I'm a support medabot. But that doesn't mean I can't fight, just that I prefer to heal and support." she said, putting her hand into a fist and moving one of her robotic pigtails to make a punching motion before going back to a more relaxed position. "The rest, I might tell you later~." She said, in a teasing cutesy tone.
The Submachine gun man, then made his name known to the group as he joined. Considering he didn't look nearly as athletic as the other, cowboy human or Linkle, Blazermate gestured to him to sit on Bowser's shell with her. After all, considering the hike they had to go before they made their way to the castle in the distance, she figured he'd probably get tired really fast carrying around a big rifle like that. Bowser meanwhile was figuring out a way to pay this cowboy man, turning one of his suit buttons into a golden disc using his... fire breath? This gave Blazermate some ideas, considering she had worked with a few fire spitting Medabots back in the day.
The group walked along until they reached a strange crossroads. One which lead to an ominous looking canyon, one that Bowser wanted to go to that looked like something out of a book, and one that she figured was the most dangerous, considering how inconspicuous it looked. Blazermate was glad that Bowser was going down the path she would've gone, the book route with the weird creatures that Bowser seemed to know, considering he called them out as his 'minions'. Geno at this point decided to just fly up in the sky and over everything, something Blazermate could also probably do for a bit with her design, but decided against it considering there were allies down here to heal. She was really curious as to why the courier was deciding to go down the canyon route however, yelling at him. "Oii. Why are you going that way? Rock slides are a real problem there! If you want heals, stick with me!" she said, but the man made up his mind and was out of sight soon after.
Letting out a robotic sigh, she watched as Bowser used his fire breath to torch some nearby grass in an attempt to scare his minions into cooperation. Blazermate figured this wouldn't work, considering how alert all the creatures became with all that noise, and said to Bowser "Pretty sure mind control means mind control~." She got in a more riding combat position on bowser's shell, as the guy looked like he was ready to rumble. At least being so close to the guy she could easily heal him or anyone nearby if they got injured. She really couldn't do much other than maybe telling someone where to attack these enemies from her perch, for some reason her blaster wasn't inside her frame like it usually was. But these enemies didn't look like they'd be much trouble, they were littered with weak points.
@ProPro Well I think Blazermate will go with the group that needs the most healing, and considering the canyon is very close to gravelpit, Blazermate would probably find a spirit there. Although IC wise right now shes sticking with Bowsers group due to the whole healing kirby thing. But if enough people go down the dangerous route, she'll be forced to follow them to keep them alive.
@thedman Well you could always ask one of the two mechanics to help you out with that stuff. I'm sure They'd be happy to make new things if everyone found the proper scrap metal.
