Wait, besides Salem and Violet, who else actually obeyed orders and went to the Climax Hour?
Chuunitrixx, Mamoru, and Charme were not given the direct order in any fashion by Graft, so they were under no obligation to follow it. Bone Daddy was already on scene. I assume Talim does as he pleases, and that's Light's whole M.O.
Graft seemed prepared to do something, the real Mamoru is out, as are Ashara, Gromgard, Lord Chompy Bits, Kaldorna, Zouyu, and Isolde is currently as statue as stone as emotionally adept as she is.
Alright, so what's Bone Daddy's, Light's, Mamoru's, Incubutt's and Chuunitrixx's excuse!? D<
Bone Daddy is in the middle of animation for a Super, it seems; Chuunitrixx is finishing a Super, and currently unable to move; Clonemoru is currently using a CC move and dying; Talim and Light have got no real excuse.
Aren't the Maximize and Metamagic-enhancments supposed to be limited to caster-classes? I thought they were similar to the D&D things like "Empower Spell" or "Maximize Spell" or whatever. Ainz and Narberal both use it, and they're both primary caster classes, I don't recall if Shalltear uses it though, and she's a Cleric mainly... Huh...
'Spose as long as you can use 'magic' you can utilize those things(?)
Chuunitrixx has 10 Levels on Doppleganger and 5 Levels in Greater Doppleganger, each one a specialized Spellscaster at Lv40 for the Dopplegangers and Lv60 for the Greater Dopplegangers, for a total of 700 levels in spellcasting class.
This is canon material on how Doppleganger and Greater Doppleganger works. I play Chuunitrixx very fairly.
Totally forgot to mention, bonus post, because I didn't realize I could post again, since this is a fight scene.
Also, to just address why Chuunitrixx can just use Maximize, Heighten, and Echo Metamagics like they are candy, when Zouyu nearly died using tripled Maximize and adding Silent: Chuunitrixx has a Magic Point, Magic Attack, and Special Stat of 100 each, while Zouyu has 30, 65, and 40, respectively.
This is what she was designed to do. So, this fight is a good way to show that off. Granted, she will suffer Mana Burn from her last shot. She's used most of her MP up.
Barely a step in retreat, and Chuunitrixx bristled from head to toe. She didn’t look back. She didn’t need to. It was in front of her. Instead of going downstairs as she planned, instinct -- no, her subconscious desire -- took over, and she was mere feet from that bitch that had sent her mind reeling with fear and uncertainty was now a mewling kitten on the ground; no more a threat than a mere bunny.
Still, she had to pay.
Her eyes looked over to the Clonemoru; struggling with her bag to keep the Medusa blinds, as she choked on her own death. Her eyes caught Rodias; half-petrified from a stony embrace, and an all-too familiar fear.
"I’m going to make you suffer for what you’ve done," Chuunitrixx snarls, as she drew hard into her magic reserves, and walked towards the Medusa...
"I’ll kill you, here and now... [Heighten Damage V], [Heighten Lethality V], [Heighten Critical Rate VII], [Triple Maximize Heighten Kinetic Energy], [ Triple Maximize Heighten Fragmentation Blast], [Heighten Heartseeker], [Heighten Critical V], [Triple Maximum Heighten Echo Justice Smite]. Formulate, and Create Ammo: [Big Iron Justice Bringer]!"
Chuunitrixx slammed her foot down on Morgan’s throat -- toes digging into her larynx, "Don't make a sound. You don't desire to beg for mercy," -- as she leveled Ariamis with her chests, and opened fire with a bullet designed to do one thing: Deliver JUSTICE.
...however, with the recoil of the bullet, her right arm was whipped bacykward, and dislocated from the sheer force that exited the revolver. No. Judging from the grass-green rivulets that were escaping her jacketed sleeve, Chuunitrixx had ripped her arm, all but, off her shoulder.
It was worth it, however, with the intention of putting a hole in the Medusa's chest.
Chuunitrixx was still attempting to coax favour of the Priestess, amid thwacks from her pocket Bible, and unimpressed, but non-hurtful looks... when the alarm sounded. Chateau Gothika switched to "Crisis Mode," and her semi-playful mood evaporated with the klaxon. Awoken, Sentries and Proxies by the dozen began to converse, and Survivors, both the Alpha and the Standard, switched to "Scout Mode" -- however, the Alpha needn't hunt long. Their uninvited guest was currently waylaid at the gates by Rodias and Bone Daddy; distracted by them, and in the open.
It was a classic.
Chuunitrixx pushed up, feet firm to the floor, and focused. Teleporting, her feet hit the concrete roads of Apocalypse Now, and she gripped her head. She hadn't meant to come here! Not with Rodias in potential danger! And yet... yet... she had retreated, instinctively, away from the acknowledged threat, and stood in relative safety. Relative. That's all it was. Relative. Easily shattered by a single step. And yet... she cowered in it, while he was out there; risking his life in her stead.
That wouldn't do. Rodias was not supposed to defend Chateau Gothika. That was the job of Chapter Keepers and Facility Managers. And, she was the last defender before Rodias was to be required.
Her fists clenched at her sides in anger at herself, her cowardice, and her instincts overriding her missions.
Not here.
Not now.
Not at her own home.
Suddenly, her toes met the warmth of the clay-shingle roof; thick tiles curved, and soaking up the sun. According to her scouts, Rodias and Bone Daddy had the Golden Eyes distracted; in YGGDRASIL Online, her Block or Guard would be completely down, and she would take Quadruple Damage from a Sneak Attack. It was a strategy that Rodias and Traptrixx employed -- better known as Flanking. As long as the Flanking Bonus was up, Chuunitrixx knew she could carry the day as she had dozens and dozens of times before. There was no doubt in the forefront of her mind, now.
Hitting her belly, Chuunitrixx retrieved Silver Knight Anor, and looked up a Boss Killer Bullet in her Grimoire, "This combination should do it: [Lethality III], [Critical III], [Puncture III], [Damage III], [Armor Breaker], [Maximize Double Speed], [Double Maximize Heighten Kinetic Energy], [Triple Maximize Holy Smite]," a pained hiss escaped the Mimic, as she pushed forward a little more magic, adding a low-level stun with a high success chance, "[Triple Maximize Heighten Gigaton Stun], Formulate, and Create Ammo: [Heavenly Railgun]!"
Burning off a lot of magic, Chuunitrixx created a powerful bullet, and loaded it. Unaware of the order to stand down, she pulled back on her bolt action, focus on her target, and passed her [Stress Test] thanks to Aurora removing her [Terrified] Curse. A moment passed, as she centered her target; a silver mass flew by her scope, and well-trained eyes followed it. It was Mamoru -- no, it was a clone of her, as the coloration was off by a single shade across the board. It must have been thrown. Chuunitrixx didn't regard Mamoru as a Friend, but she was an Ally -- everyone in Gothika was her Ally, regardless of their Friendship Status -- and it was her job to defend her Allies.
Fear or no fear.
"I'll show you, who's afraid to shoot..." she says, pulling the trigger.
In the blink of an eye, the bullet was lodged in the head of the golden-eyed intruder -- knocking her back, prone, and stunning her, and there was nothing that Rodias could have done to prevent it. His direct order was never delivered to Chuunitrixx by Graft, and her mission to protect Chateau Gothika and its residents was not to be denied without it. It would take a lot of time and magic to reform another bullet like that, but that was a one and done attack. Chuunitrixx had made sure of it, to the point that she didn't even bother with the idea of confirming her kill, once the body hit the ground; she was that confident in her skills, honed over ten year of monotonous service.
Many a boss had been stunned by that bullet, and shredded apart by the Guild Bandersnatch.
"I'm not afraid," Chuunitrixx says, as she rose to a crouch.
Turning, the sniper started to retreat to teleport downstairs...
