The collaborator smiled pleasantly and bowed before the monarch of mankind as she was introduced and given the floor to bequeath the fruits of her union with the Machina.

"Thank you your majesty. If I may have the floor," With a snap of her figure the throne room door opened and admitted a trio of ornately armored figures, the design of which was as much Machina as it was Angelic, with embellishment woven atop a matte black across a humanoid form. They were tall by humanoid standards and walked without a sound to their steps to stand directly before the intended recipients.

"What you see before you are the first test models in a collaborative effort between her Majesty Eos, the Alchemist of Genesis, and myself. I present to each of you a second skin, the armor of Eos' own Chevalier!"

The bizarre woman snapped yet again and the theatrics continued as the armor peeled apart at the back, flowing as though water off the backs of its occupants and reforming in their passing without a seem out of place, to reveal herself, or rather, three duplicates of herself, whom emerged and returned to the first's side. It was by some small miracle they didn't start speaking in stereo though the multitude of identical faces made a disarming smile appear a touch unhinged now.

"The Chevalier are heavily customized and tailored to particular aesthetics and skill sets, but they do share basic core attributes. Personal energy shields, magnetic weapon ports along the back, arms, and legs, greatly enhanced stamina alongside a boost to your reflexes and cognitive functions exceeding the current limitations of our most advanced STLTH units in the field. You may have picked up on the sound dampeners already, and if it wasn't obvious, it sports your required life support systems...Oh, almost forgot the best part. They passively create fields in a 50ft radius to negate attempts at subverting the fabric of reality, IE, teleportation, portals, etc. You can thank me for that one~"

"It'd be rather underwhelming if I assailed everyone present with the tiniest of operating specs, so I'll save it for later if you require." The monochrome quartet wouldn't want to start boring Hoho or Eos after all. "Let's get onto the individual aspects, starting with...ah, unit Shizuka!"

While your nature as a Holy Spirit has made for some difficulty in ingratiating yourself to the Machina- And trust me, I know aaaaaaaaaall about that process- you've proven your devotion to Mankind time and time again, so I proudly present to you the first of it's kind, the Unity Chevalier.

"You'll find that while the moniker of Iron Maiden won't be leaving you, though the restraints will have been removed with this. Holy power is still power, and it shall suit in augmenting this armor's role as a healer and defender of Machina on the battle field."

As one monochrome woman finished her sales pitch to Shizuka, yet another stepped up to address Hibiki in regards to the armor standing before her.

"Unit Hibiki, while no less accomplished then your sister, you are also the least physically inclined of those present. A weakness you've compensated for with a sharp mind and an ample array of equipment. With that in mind, we made the Lillie Chevalier." If there are any so foolish as to charge against your ramparts, Lillie will serve to remind them KC-30002 was only a taste of what's to come for your enemies.

And lastly was Endian, whose armor was meted out by the last monochrome woman.

"And last but not least, Unit Endian. This was a rather difficult decision given your symbiosis with Unit Grafdakka, but should the need arise for you to operate separately then the Nikola Chevalier." To counter the cumbersome attributes of your primary mecha, this is specialized in speed and wide area offensive ability. You shall find that in conjunction with your existing hard light implements, the Nikola will make you no less deadly then Grafdakka, and rather effective should you need to function in a Commissar's capacity in regards to corrupted Machina.

With the last of the armor introduced the monochrome snapped together, causing the Chevalier to peel apart from the front to show onto the recipients the snug, empty shell within.

"I'm afraid that's all the time I have introduce them to you. If you wish to learn more we have training facilities in place, and I strongly advise you do, as the alterations to your physical and mental capabilities can be rather jarring. But anywho, please do don them so the Queen can see her new knights in shining armor."

{Details heading to shadow lists later.}
Luci


Her tantrum was curtailed by the arrival of demons returning from afield. The Hell Knight passed by without a word, clearly understanding the message Queen and Princess were conveying to Luci's gratitude. Frog at least posed a question to the slime, one she hadn't much of an answer for yet didn't even get the chance to answer before a really rude demon not only regarded her with the same disgust as the former bullies of her school and then barged into the throne room without regard for respecting Momma.

Former, because she melted their flesh in an acidic pulp and force feed it to their parents.

Then adding insult to injury came the hussy who smelled like Poppa but wasn't Poppa. While she may have been acting civil this time, there was little to mollify Luci when Henry was so darn disrespectful!

Scowling bitterly at the backs of the brazen losers, she leaned against the doorway with arms crossed and hands still curled into trembling fists. Like Mother, like Daughter, though anyone close enough may detect a slight glow to the slime girl that was uncomfortable for any demon within arms reach to be awash in.

"So only a Puppy, a knight, and this whiny bully are there to confront Uncle Eos? Doesn't sound like anyone cared to help anyone else along. Did no one teach you about teamwork, because my teacher only covered that last week...in Kindergarten."






Ananta


"Do either of you mind the company of one more without feathers?"

It wasn't hard to imagine that a serpent would make little sound going over polished marble, and Ananta was courteous enough to post her question several feet away on the approach so as not to startle the dragon and the spectral cowboy before she settled in atop her coiled tail.

"I'm afraid to report that my outing in the last battle was rather abysmal, considering Grafdakka's life was worth rather little on that battlefield. It was...disappointing to find such a prolific figure would sooner detonate himself them try to combat me, but the efficacy of the move is undeniably Machina in it's styling."

The Serpent settled her cheek in her palm and released a world weary sigh, even if the aches of incineration were only a distant memory now, before seeming to register that she wasn't familiar with present company.

"Ah, forgive me my complaints. I'm aware of your reputations but I have yet to develop my own. I am Ananta, and it would be my pleasure to commiserate in the company of other combatants if you would abide."

Will post tomorrow with Rewards for Endian, Shizuka, and Hibiki.
<Snipped quote by Lonewolf685>

That's a pretty viable option, I'll admit it.


That was Leblanc's plan once she finished dealing with the rowdier soldiers. Not she's affected by his harem aura, but it would be a nice distraction from the impending Review :3
You mean the scene where Gradon is knocked out and any woman could come over and drag his body into a broom closet to do unspeakable things to his body?
@The 42nd Gecko

Ah, the dessert one. Yeah he was pretty much filler, though right after that is when A2 starts developing when she meets up the with the resistance and Pascal.

Not going to lie, 9S gets an infuriating dungeon based around Hacking to deal with, but beyond that things do pick up,

But hey, if it's not to your liking I'm not going to harp on you. To each there own.
@The 42nd Gecko

Well if you got to A2 you're probably far enough to predict things. And since I min maxed damage the final boss was kind...broken. Had to wait on a timer for the phases to transitions because I'd cut down it's health too quickly for it to register.

How far are you? Did you finish Pascal's quest line with A2?
@The 42nd Gecko

Trust me you want to push through and finish C. Then once you do that you get the chapter select option, so you can jump straight to finale and get ending D. When you have both on the same save file, only then do you get the complete ending after dealing with the soul crushing difficulty of the true finale.

A2's attitude gets better. And trust me, you won't complain about 9S' hacking when you realize how easy he makes some of the bullet sponge enemies die.

Having done the first game I saw the plot twists coming since it's a lot of the same story beats, but without the same depth of character as Kaine, Neir, Emil, and Weiss had.
Hmm... If Artoria and everything she ever did was deleted (everyone's reversing the transfromations), wouldn't that mean Ira and Victoire would still be in Hildr's clutches?


No. If anyone ever played Nier, the first one not Automata, and got to Ending D, they'd have an idea how this works.

But to summize, when someone is that thoroughly erased from existence, their actions are ascribed to others in their collective memories. So in this instance, people would recall it as Ira or Victoire being responsible for this escape.
I still wonder what would have happened if the demons and angels had all stayed and fought.

Joker: "So, what's the status of the war?"
Deva: "Eos killed all the people fighting, so... There's not much going on."


If you consider a faction leader a raid boss, then Eos would have been overwhelmed with significant numbers like that. She DID pass out from exhausting herself in only a few attacks, after all, so dodging and stun locking her for a few minutes would have been all that was needed.

Or just don't get in that fight in the first place.
Anywho, I'll be posting tomorrow and distributing the goodies for the Machina alongside posting for Ananta.
