The 42nd Gecko

The War of the Three

Sapphire Pink

Fluffy Woof

"Hmm.. Someone's coming to visit? I wonder who it'll be! Will they be tall, will they be small, will they wanna talk, will they wanna fight?" Pink sang to herself, kicking her legs on the side of her floating nimbus of pink energy, as she noticed Fran's energy signal coming closer. All Fran's traps would be for vain, at least if the battle stayed as it currently was. With none of the Angels or the Machina taking to the catacombs currently, save the lazily flying Pink, they would have little effect. But perhaps someone would flee underground later from the carnage up above. Between the traps and the flowers, they'd likely have a very bad time.

Finding Pink would be both very hard, and very easy. First, Fran would have to cross roughly 65 km of winding passageways. But once she got within 4 KM, there would be telltale pink wisps guiding Fran to Pink, so vast was her wide collection radius now.

Miyu

Happyverse

Miyu took the hand with a smile. Two people. Interacting without eating each others faces off. Talking about their lives. Aaaah, this place did live up to the hype. If just, everyone could travel back and forth between here and the nexus, that'd be perfect. There were still a lot of people back there who Miyu felt like they deserved better. But still, the here and now, Miyu had a friend to make, and she was giddy with the attempt.

"A Doctor, huh? Did the have much call for that back in Hyperion? I mean, you could just replace your arm with a robo arm, or download your body to a whole new clone body. With how mass produced those things must be, was it cost efficient to bother with healing?" Miyu waved at the other girl.

The War of the Three

@Grombus By some vampire lores you'd be under her command at this point.

The War of the Three

@KoL Man, I missed two characters. Guess that puts the final score at 11:3 and 9:4

The War of the Three

Right, well, if Hildr's gone back to the happyverse, as Bastion has both eyes, that puts it to 11:3 and 8:4, even more in the Machina favor.

Apart from characters like Iona, who hardly count because they don't show up, the machina may be better than the angels at being holy.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel I don't know what faction to put Hildr under. Isn't she all of them whenever she feels like it and depending on who she wants to sleep with?

The War of the Three

Angels with Holy Attacks
Saef: Adding holy magic onto machina stuff is pretty much his thing, but is ALSO a holy type caster.
Zak: Uses both regular and holy fire.
Flos: Despite being a Fallen Angel has a ton of angelic type attacks, because they're almost all melee amplifications of his angelic weapon.
Sapphire: ONLY has holy element attacks.
Miyu: Happiversed, but her thing was like Saef, adding holy element onto machina stuff.
Omega: Truth and Justice fire holy elemental attacks.
Dorafraki: Mentions that her power has holy origins, but all her attacks are actually lightning and storm based. Still, we'll count it.
Iona: Does she really count as an angel? Still, she's a master of all holy magic.

Angels without Holy Attacks
Juno: Does she really count as an angel? Still, sword is spacial type, not holy, and all her attacks so far shown are gravity type, not holy.
Zeruel: Only has one actual potentially holy type attack (eye beams) and it seems to just be a regular explosion.
Eve: The Lance might be holy, but only says it has fire. And none of her fire moves mention any holy element. And her backstory has her biologically similar to a demon anyway.
Abigail: NPC now, but her elemental attacks are dreams, not holy.
Ananta: The Ofuda MIGHT count, but they're really not an attack. No actual mention of holy type attacks or that the Rakshasa's blade have holy element. Still, happiversed, so doesn't count.

???
Deva: It is unknown whether Deva's chair type attacks count as holy.

7:4 Angels having holy attacks, and I'm willing to bet Deva's are holy for 8:4.

Still, comparitively, 10:3 vs 8:4 for taking the more generous assumption for both, the Machina have a higher ratio of people with holy attacks than the Angels.

The War of the Three

Huh, Wolf's Halberd has holy element too.

I wonder if there's any Machina melee combatants who DON'T have a holy weapon..

Machina with Holy Attacks:
Grafdakka: Holy Chainsaw (If for some reason he brought that body instead of the reality break chainsaw)
Mecha Maids: Shizuka's stuff and Gwynn's gear
Eos: Amaterasu Heart
Wolf: Celestial Silver Halberd
Ni-Mu: Can make copies of Cydone's sword, and is mini Eos so maybe can do the holy lasers too.
Henry: If for some reason he needed holy instead of the Cheater's Blade or Mjolnir, he could make it with the silver eyes.
Bonesword: Honor Strike, that says it is not holy, but it's anti-demon light, so... Yeah, still counting it.
Maceroy: His Shock lance is Holy type.

Machina without Holy Attacks:
Alexi: Has weak ass ice magic but otherwise can't cover that gap.
Utada: Actually uses sensible machina gear. What?
Lillian: Alchemist stuff, and happyversed anyway.
Unit-T: Is mecha godzilla, and thankfully not mecha jesus godzilla.
Harvester: Doesn't have holy attacks yet. But can probably acquire them pretty easily.

So, discounting Lillian for being Happyversed, that's a 9/4 Machina having holy attacks, and 10/3 as soon as Harvester rips the arms off an angel.

The War of the Three

@Awesomoman64 Well, If you can sense Pinks magic, you can sense Victoire's. They've both got roughly equal area covered so far, with Victoire having a slight edge, and they're both hiding from each other, about 70 km from Wolf.

As for not bringing Cydone, Banana inspired me into making another harpy like, 5 hours before the fight.

The War of the Three

@Awesomoman64 Aw man... Didja have to bring Wolf? You said you were bringing Omega. :/

Pink's magic can't even hurt Machina, why you have to shut the poor woof down?

Go stop Victoire, her magic is actually dangerous to the Machina. :P

The War of the Three

Sapphire Pink

Fluffy Woof

Meanwhile, everyone ignored Sapphire Pink. She kept draining the suffering of all the undead beings within her reach, which continued to grow wider and wider. But seeing "wider" wasn't really measured in dozens of KM's yet, it was unlikely anyone would notice the potential scale of her actions just yet. So she scooted around the underground of the angelic "third" of the battlefield on a growing nimbus of energy sucking up suffering.

"That demonic energy is getting bigger. Wonder what it is?" If Pink could be bothered to study the war so far, she perhaps could have averted tragedy. Oh well.

~~Undead "Smooched": 1 Ghost, 1 Skeleton, a Couple Zombies, and .3% of the Catacombs Undead~~

Atarah

"Who's that??" Atarah had no idea who Henry was, being a new contender to the scene.

Shrugging, she cracked her knuckles, "Sure, let me at that harpy scout! Shouldn't be a problem!" Atarah was eager to get a little payback, however indirectly, at that Syphax guy. Maybe if she was lucky, it was Syphax and she could give him some payback for stealing her away from Serah!

But then, just after she stepped through Victoire's portal to intercept, a thought came too late to mind. "Flying".

"WAAUUUGH, HELP!" Her limbs flailed wildly as she plummeted like the rocks she was so fond of, on an intercept course for Eve. If Eve tried to catch her, or didn't dodge the grabby Atarah in time, fate would have it that Eve's disrupted flight path would take them directly on course to Marie and Maceroy.

Miyu

Happyverse

Miyu laid back in the arm of Daimyo, trusting it completely to hold her stead as they landed. Ananta had kids on her back, so it must be a gentle trip.

"I'm more of a mechanic, I excel at putting stuff together that other people built, but I'm an Angel, so I figure I've got at least a couple thousand years to expand my horizons." Miyu waved at the other girl. "Did the machina have access to life extendy stuff other than stuffing your head in a robot? I never figured that one out." Miyu asked, idly indulging her curiosity as they fell.
