The War of the Three

"Mephila" Baal Asmodeus

@Ryonara@Kol@floodtalon@The 42nd Gecko@Lucius Cypher

Mephilia was feeling quite confident in their ability to hold off Eos' assault. Whether or not she would survive or not against the blades in up to debate, yet she was still thankful for Artoria's help, even after the fact she tranformed him back into a girl. But this power did make him last perhaps a bit longer than if she hadn't. As Henrietta began to whip her blade out, so did the Hell Knight as she prepares her katana for combat. However as they did so, they can hear the muffled voice of Eos from beyond and then...

Blankness.

In a complete instant, the shield was gone, along with he pressure around them having seemed to wither out completely. And in front of them, was a single blade coming from the Machina Leader. Mephilia's eyes went blank as even she didn't know what just happened.

"The hell just happened?" she asks as she rapidly looks around her surroundings.

It was then when Henrietta began to throw into a sissy fit, shouting as she threw a tantrum like that of a child. All the Knight could do was face palm in embarrassment, a sweat drop having just formed on her head. But at the same time she too didn't know just what happened, like as time just stopped for a brief micro-second and eliminated the shield Artoria made. Eos began to warn them one last time to leave the premise or achieve something far worse than death. One would think that everyone would oblique and walk off...

But not Mephilia.

She smirks as a ball of black flame began to devour her entire body. She can feel the energy continue to slip away, but feels that her reserves still have a good punch to them. Her pain inhibitors were also still injecting the anti-pain fluid into her body, which also tightens her muscles in the process. She grips her blade as the fire around her began to twist and twirl violently.

"Relying simply on the power of friendship, or whatever the fuck you were chanting, won't be enough to stop us." she chants towards Eos dead in the eyes, "Because it seems you forgot about one of us."

*Insert Fran's entrance here (?)*

TEP HQ

@TheWindel

As TEP HQ looks at what could be Unit-T's first victory, they would all hear a feminine voice behind them.

“I was wondering who would dare interfere with my research,”

As soon as she said the first three words, the staff members turned around in surprise and without any hesitation pointed their pistols at this unknown intruder. Everyone turned but Karizawa, while also having been taken by surprise. The rest looked upon an unusual girl, looking as if parts of her body had been split in half with an opposite color. Her left eye was crimson red, while the other was a light chilly-blue, her hair on that side being black, while the opposite was black. Even her clothing seemed off with one sleeve being white and the other black. But that's not the most unusual part. The unusual part is simply...

How the hell did she sneak into this top-secret facility?

The girl finished her thought after the members pointing and prepared their guns, saying “And here you all are, trying so desperately to replicate what I have left behind….”

Another second of silence passes as Karizawa lifts his left hand for his staff to hold their fire. He doesn't even turn around to face the girl as he continues to glue his eyes onto the screen. Yet he is more than aware that she's inside this very room.

"Your research?" he asked curiously, still glued to the screen, "I believe you are in the wrong facility."

The girl doesn't budge as she looks at the screens. Three-fourths of the drones still eye on Unit-T and Taura, while 1/4th recorded Eos' battle with the demons.

“It seems they are following what their hearts tell them to," the girl mused, eyeing Unit-T once more. “But the heart is weak and fragile. It can be easily manipulated."

He didn't know quite what she was saying. Even as she was literally right next to him, Karizawa still faced towards the screen like a stone sculpture. His tone in attitude has changed from being more outgoing and supportive, to a cold and calculating director. It wasn't too common for him to switch attitudes like this. That's when the girl began to ask him one certain thing.

"Director? Is this berserk-like state the heart that defines your Unit-T?”

She knows? She knows of the creation's name and pretty much nails on the head the official mode that Unit-T is in? That's what broke his concentration. He would slowly turn his head to face her, his grizzled face, scruffy beard, and long white hair glaring dead straight into her's, finally seeing who the girl looked like. His face barely changed a muscle as he simply asks.

"And just who do you think you are?"

The War of the Three

@floodtalon@Lmpkio@Lucius Cypher Honestly, I'm finding Henrietta's tantrum kinda inspiring. Let's fight it out.

@The 42nd Gecko

Likewise. I'm going to try and do something with Mephilia today.

The War of the Three

Alright, I posted a long one for Unit-T. I will still need to think about what can be done for Mephilia against Eos, even though I don't see much happening in the spirits of things...

Edit: Edited Unit-T's post to commandeer with its size of 10 meters and not the 10 foot version I thought it would be originally.

Edit 2: I actually added at the end that Unit-T reverted to being 10 feet due to the whole size manipulation thing and explained it briefly and how it affects Tina. However, prior to that, it was still 10 meters.

The War of the Three

Unit-T

@Kol

After firing its maser beam, Unit-T winds up its right first as it prepares to go for another blow to the Bull's jaw at a 3/4th the speed of sound speed. Tina's concentration was at its max as the mech begins to deliver the knuckle sandwich, only for it to be stopped suddenly by Taura's hand. Clearly she is indeed way stronger compared to all the other warriors that were on the battlefield. She didn't even move a single inch, refusing more so despite the immense power the mech had behind it. The pilot growled sharply as she tries to push forward with futile effort.

As the Bull began to remark on how Unit-T will refuse to give up, her wounds began to slowly heal. From the scratches on her face, the burns of the hot crimson burns forged by the green maser bream, the missing tooth, and even the broken right horn, they were able to begin healing in a short notice, signaled by the dazzling lights coming from the cuts. This opponent also has the ability to heal from rather "minor" injuries. The TEP staff watched closely as they monitor the situation from cameras station across the Foundry, along with surrounding drones hovering a safe distance above the action.

"It's beginning to heal itself?" Tobayashi asks as she continues looking at the screens.

Karizawa says nothing as he continues watching silently, his face still as stone, as his hands crossed under his nose. This is what he suspected, especially of a character of that power and magnitude. He even hears what Taura was saying in her little speech thanks to the cameras that connected to the eyes of the mech that can also record sound. She is holding back, or so she claims, and once she blows the whole upper levels of the facility has little chance of standing still by the end of this battle. Everyone tensed up as soon as they heard this notion.

Once Taura was finally finished, she issues a radiating grin as she pulls Unit-T with ease. Yet as the mech tries to counter that notion with a punch of its own, it was met was the bull's own fist, launching it an insane distance away as it crashes through several mountains, all the way to the Angel's fortress. What was worse, that punch also ripped the entire bottom of the foundry's base, which could be felt all the way down to the lowest room in the secret facilities. The entire staff could feel the earthquake as it rippled through the room, with some of the scientists having fallen over with minor sparks and glitchy screens dazzled the room for a second or two. Yet otherwise the room was still in good condition, with only minor damage to some of the perimeter electronics.

Meanwhile, Unit-T crashes into the main hall of the Fortress, skidding across the floor and into several pillars until stopping right by a thick wall. Tina groans from within as she slowly get her mech back up on her feet, realizing that the left fist is in critical condition and is compromised for the time being. As the nano-bots that make up Unit-T's own regenerative healing try to quickly get it patched up, it would be rudely interrupted as Taura immediately came towards Unit-T's position, having caused a second sonic boom that rippled through the foundry left behind.

The raging bull seemed far from done as it socks the mech into the sky. Sparks rippled through the cockpit as Tina finds herself struggling against the intense G-Force that trialled against her own body. As it ascends higher and higher into the stratosphere, Taura leaps into the air and grabs the mech, as they rapidly descend right back down in a Titan Impact. Everyone, except Karizawa, from within the TEP facility gasped as they see their creation descend with the almighty bull towards destination fucked. It seemed as if Unit-T and Tina have nowhere else to go...

Yet Tina was surprisingly calm. Her eyes, having been closed for several seconds, open quickly as it produces a face of unprecedented determination and courage. Tina is not going to go down like this and disappoint her makers. She frowns as she takes control of the mech, her left index finger hovering over a red button that is labeled:

"Berserk Activation, go." she speaks to herself calmly as she presses the button.

And with the press of that button, Unit-T's eyes began to glow from a benevolent yellow to an ominous red. As soon as it glows red, the mouth opens, revealing an assortment of knife-like teeth, with steam steaming from it. With that, the mouth opens wide as Unit-T's head jerks back issuing a mighty roar, a hybrid of organic and metallic combination, as it would pierce the skies and most likely deafen Taura's hearing momentarily. Then, with a ravenous fury, it turns its body towards the bull and bites down on her body. The diamond-tipped teeth slice through her entire body and through her organs in an attempt to knock her out temporarily out of sheer blood loss or decapitate her immediately, while scratching at her sides at much as it could.

Whether it would work or not, as Tina attempts to activate the thrusters to put them at horizontal level, it would be futile as they both impact into the rubble below, unleashing a notable shockwave that ripples through miles and leaving a large crater inside the fortress. Everyone within TEP HQ was dead silent, not even breathing for a second before gasping in disbelief with their eyes bulging out of their sockets. The cloud of thick dust and debris litter throughout the fortress as the drones circle around the crash site.

"I-Is Unit-T still operational?" Tobayashi asks concerningly as she attempts to keep her panic level in check.

For a deep moment, there was not a sound or signal coming from the rubble. Then came a signal, followed by another faster signal. As the dust cloud settles, an eerie groan can be heard as Unit-T emerges from several plates of thick stone. It's crimson eyes pierce the thick cloud as it stands motionlessly, having signs of some significant damage, yet still standing tall and in large. It's also much smaller in size, roughly 10 feet compared to the several story monster it was. Inside, Tina would adjust to the size as she too was shrunk appropriately to compensate with it. As the dust clears out a bit more, it can be seen as Unit-T's left hand has finally been fixed and deemed fairly operational... holding what looks to be one of Taura's horns, connecting to its owner.

With a winding growl, Unit-T then issues a ghostly roar that pierces through the heavens and the surrounding battlefield. Everyone from TEP breathed a sigh of relief, even Karizawa seemed to relax a bit as soon as another tune continues to boom from Eos herself as she battles her own demons (literally). From the looks of things, it may seem as if Unit-T is deemed victorious... but of course, looks can be dangerously deceiving.

@KoL

Go to sleep.

@TheWindel

The War of the Three

@KoL I wasn't waiting on anybody to post lol

The War of the Three

Hmmmmm... it seems I really fucked up my initial sizing of current Unit-T.

I said that it's 10 meters high right? What I INITIALLY meant was 10 feet, but then again thinking about it now, I don't think it would work for even a tiny girl to pilot.

No need to change anything @Kol but yeah, I was thinking of something different and only now did I realize my error. Will keep it as is though, so fuck it.

The War of the Three

Anyway, so the gist of this battle is, the person who really needed a power up was definitely Eos. She really wasn't strong enough before, but with this new power, she should be able to at least hold her own in a fight.

In other words, I'm not gonna post until I calm down from my salt. Gonna be a while till I post.

@The 42nd Gecko

The War of the Three

So I've been reading through the IC, but with the immense amount of posts and large amount of characters, I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on beyond that a couple of demons are fighting Eos. Could someone please give me a short explanation as to the current situation? It would be greatly appreciated. Then I can try keeping track of events from this point forward.

@thewizardguy

First look at this:

Battle Briefing

THE BATTLE OF KC-00032
^{Burning the Fuse of Warfare}

"Infused with the demonic might of the Leviathan, smelted in the hallowed forges of Alt Signia and now, processed by the most advanced Machina technology. It's no exaggeration to say that the resources obtained from Ruthria shaped, and were shaped by, the recent history of the Nexus' unending conflicts.

Now, the final chapter of their history is about to be written.

Will they finally find their ultimate use, or be destroyed and forgotten like everything in this world of eternal war?"

INTRO

BGM

After their successful acquisition of the Resources obtained at the Battle of Ruthria, the Machina—under the command of the High Queen Eos—built a completely new factory to process them.

In this factory a number of new and much more advanced weapons are being produced, including the newest series of combat vehicles known as Exosuits. As soon as they are ready to launch it's doubtful that the Machina will face easy defeats as the ones in their recent history.

Having received such news, the other factions took whatever action they could to stop the High Queen's plans.

The Angels built a fortress from which they can deploy their forces to face the Machina in their own territory. The Demons on the other hand, used their skill to influence and corrupt the Machina's own forces, building an army out of KC-00032's workforce.

Such a betrayal cannot be tolerated by those who follow the will of their High Queen. As such, any who oppose the defending forces, Angels, Demons, or even Machina themselves, will be considered hostile targets by the Machina forces.

OBJECTIVES

Simply put, this is a battle of elimination, the last force remaining on the battlefield shall be the ones claiming the victory.

EXTRA

— Given the fact that this battle shall take place in a metallurgic plant, there's a number of environmental hazards that can be used to one's advantage in battle. Pits of molten metal, compactors, grinders, acidic baths, laser cutters, high voltage cables, and much more.

— At any moment in the battle, characters from the Demon and Angel factions can call upon support from minor NPC forces. The Angel's army is specialized in healing and protection, except for their Valkyrie forces which tend to give an oomph to their attack power. The Demons are comprised of corrupted Machina that are better used in guerrilla tactics or as disposable "meat shields". The heaviest construction machines are useful for defensive purposes, though.

— The Machina count with the support of KC-00032 itself. The factory's arsenal of experimental weapons can give an edge to the Machina as long as they can keep control over it. Among the weapons there's a set of three functional prototype Exosuits, stored in the facility. These suits known as (α, β and γ) can be combined (as long as they remain operational), forming three different configurations: Form I (ranged attack power), Form II (melee attack power) and Form III (defense). Such a machine has power to face to face even the mightiest of the Heavens' or Hell's forces.

---

Basically, the battle is taking place by a Machina Foundry in which they are on the defensive against Hell and Heaven (they aren't working together however). So far, Heaven has mostly backed out of the fight, with the exception of their "commander" Ciel, who unleashed a certain powerful character to combat my character, Unit-T.

Meanwhile, Hell still has four characters left; Artoria, Mephilius (Mine), Henry, and Fran, with the first three in combat with Rayona's Mecha Maidens and Eos (Machina leader) in a boss fight. Fran is more on the supporting role, but is semi-included in the fight.

I recommend to wait this battle out, because it'll be finishing relatively soon (hopefully, unless Windel and Kol say otherwise and btw another new guy is also doing the same), but this is basically what's going on at the moment.

The Magical Planet - Ecetopia - Open

Supreme Bishop Nebulius Suprema

Interaction: @Overlord Thraka (Thalia Coldstone); @Antarctic Termite (Smudge Pixelby); @JaceBeleren (Demon?)

As Nebulius waits on the girl's response, suddenly does he hear a loud thump from where the scholar had left. There was a cry of total fear, followed by the sickening crack of death. Alerted by his presence as it steps out from the shadows, it walks slowly in their direction ominously. As the creature peered from the shadows, all the alien could see in him... was pure black voidness. This character, unlike Mergoux and the other girl, was pure evil. It was a threat to mankind here on this world. Wielding his staff towards the creature, he takes a defensive posture as he eyes the creature down with his glowing-blue eyes.

"Your hospitality is unwelcoming." he speaks coldly in disgust, "Leave this premise or be vanquished."

The demon-creature simply told him to stay out of his way and to avert his eyes while chuckling. And in a swift motion he grabs Mergoux with a mighty hand and begins to choke her. The alien frowns as his staff glows purely white in energy and with a single swing it unleashes a beam of pure light and holy energy towards his back. The creature would feel an intense burning pain if hit, as if the darkness began to leave his body to longer he would absorb the blow. Prolonged exposure to the beam and he will certainly die.
