Super Smash Quest - Story - Chapter 309: Eggman's End
Date: 9:57:51 PM, July 31st, 2006.
Metal Man (GM): You hear... a jet engine.
Julian Sawyer: "Can you at least pronounce it JULES? ...A jet? The hell?"
Dragoshi: "...Fuuuuh?"
Metal Man (GM): ...A person-shaped object coming this way.
Aribar: "What's this?"
Gibby looks up.
Aribar: "A god to... Oppose Sky High?"
Sky High: "What the?!?" *Suddenly freezes in time.*
Aribar tries to back out of the way...
Julian Sawyer: "It's some kinda robo--" *Interrupted by jet engine noises*
Dragoshi: "...What the heck?!" *Does the same as Ari.*
Gibby looks at Sky.
"Hey, Sky... you ok?"
The Ninja: "...We run! Very quickly!"
Aetos squints his eyes and watches.
Metal Man (GM): You see... Ivo? In a attack suit?
Julian Sawyer: "Hol' up! It's Ivo in that cybersuit 'gain!"
Gibby looks back and spots Ivo.
Aribar: "...Is that Ivo?"
Aetos rumbles. "YOU!!"
Dragoshi: "...Is that the real Ivo? Or that damn faker, Fury?"
Gibby: "IVO? But... but how?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Ha ha ha! My final part in the plan is complete! I shall finally succeed at my true purpose!"
The Ninja: "Mr. Robotnik?"
Gibby: "True purpose?"
Julian Sawyer: "Like HELL you will."
Dragoshi: "...Let me guess, you lied?"
Aribar takes out his dex. "Does Aetos have all of his Quester powers back? Multiple lives?"
Metal Man: *Dex* "...Of course, he signed it, right?"
Aribar: "Yeah. Good. Ivo's here.
He... Doesn't look friendly, Metal."
Metal Man: *Dex* "Take him down."
Aribar: "Will do."
*He switches out for Moonlight.*
Ivo Robotnik: "You see... I have no need to conquer the world myself."
Julian Sawyer: "Don't tell me you guys actually trusted him AGAIN."
Aribar: "It was that or have the moon crash into Nintendus, Julian!"
Ivo Robotnik: "All I must do is destroy you... and I will be GIVEN Nintendus! Mwoohoohoo!"
The Ninja: "Is that even a real one?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Oh, they had a reason to believe me. In fact, I spared them from the moon because one of them actually was honorable."
Julian Sawyer: "NEVER TRUST IVO! Simple rule, man!"
Dragoshi: "Understood" *Pulls out scythe, and attempts to pre-emptively strike Ivo with a charged up Indignation.*
Aetos: "Why would you trust a lard like him?! NEVER trust a FATTY. EVER."
Ivo Robotnik: "Speaking of that. You, Ninja man. You may step aside as I kill the rest."
Gibby: "Grr..."
Dragoshi: "...Hmph."
Ivo Robotnik: "I am honorable. You got me that time... but now it is I who have you!"
Dragoshi: "...Oh, really?"
Julian Sawyer: "...The hell? Why'd the Ninja hook up with Ivo?"
The Ninja: "Sorry, Mr. Robotnik. But you must fight me as well if you fight them."
Ivo Robotnik levels... ... ...it's the same model of machinegun Razor once had.
"Then let us see who is the ultimate fighter! ...He didn't hook up with ME, you blunderhead."
Aribar: "Guys, I do NOT like the looks of this. Metal said for us to kill him, though. Let's do this!"
Julian Sawyer: "Man, traitors all over the place... Let's wreck him!"
Ivo Robotnik: "He held me at... sword point? It is meaningless."
Aetos: "Honorable my toe."
Ivo Robotnik: "PREPARE TO BE DESTROYED!"
Metal Man (GM): FINAL SEASON BOSS
Gibby unsheaths his sword and stares down Ivo.
Julian Sawyer: "This time I'm gonna cut off yo' stupid mustache an' hang it on my WALL!"
Metal Man (GM): Robotnik, Wearing 'Nah Rasur' class armor
You notice his machinegun... is the same one Razor once used.
Dragoshi: "..." *Assumes a grandiose battle stance* (26)
Ivo Robotnik: "You cannot win against the tactics of the most powerful Quester ever... Razor!"
Metal Man (GM): AGIs?
Aribar: "Ivo, do you see Razor alive now?"
Editor's Note: Actually he was still alive, so... whoops!
Julian Sawyer quickly unhooks Vendetta, twirling it a bit in his hands as he drops into his battle stance, and ignites it! The orange blade fires out, looking a bit more... sharp? Can you do that with a laser?
The Ninja pulls out his sword staff and gets ready for action. "I will warn you, Mr. Robotnik, I'm a bit different since we last saw each other."
Ivo Robotnik: "He's faster than Kales, you fool!"
Aribar: "Razor is nothing to scoff at, but you face the combined might of the Questers! You shall fall, Ivo!"
Metal Man (GM): He starts flying around you at high speeds.
The Ninja: "Speed means nothing if you can't use it right."
Metal Man (GM): Order: NahRasur, Julian, Ninja, Aribar, Dragoshi, Gibby, Aetos
Ivo Robotnik: "And he did!"
Julian Sawyer quickly slams his palm into a button on the right breast of his vest... and disappears! Cloaking Armor activated!
Ivo Robotnik: "Feel the almighty wrath of Razor's deadliest weapon!"
Metal Man (GM): He flies by you, making a small Sonic Boom, strafing you with a never-ending cloud of machinegun bullets. All of you. Simultaneously.
Gibby gets gunned down.
Metal Man (GM): Affects all, laser, 183 damage.
Julian Sawyer: *Well, so much for that.*
Aribar tries his best to throw up his magical barriers and dance away from the blows, but he is hammered... And killed.
Ivo Robotnik: "You shall regret fighting The Ultimate Quester's techniques! Wa ha ha haaaaa!"
Dragoshi takes a massive 183 damage out of 338...Ow.
Dragoshi: "...Damn."
Ivo Robotnik: "You haven't even seen Meteor Revolution yet."
Metal Man (GM): He spins around and flies around you at insanely high speeds.
Julian Sawyer: *Don't suppose a Dex would help at this point. Probably jammed, but he tries anyway!*
Metal Man (GM): You attempt to dex him.
He flies too fast for your eyes to track, let alone it.
-2 TP
Ivo Robotnik: "Your machine is hopelessly slow! Hah! Come on, try and hit me, wannabe best Quester!
Your arrogance is nothing compared to this abomination!"
Julian Sawyer takes advantage of his cloak, watching Ivo zoom around and around, trying to find a pattern to the madness... Once Julian gets a pretty good idea, he rears back, and SLAMS his fist forward to where he thinks Ivo will be, trying to connect with powerful Haymaker!
Wolfman: "...sorry Metal, but I'm needed. Prepare the elevator."
Metal Man: "Go ahead."
Metal Man (GM): You manage to hit Ivo, despite the fact he's flying around you with the speed of a harrier jet.
Ivo Robotnik: "How dare you! I'll Annihilate you! With Annihilation!"
Julian Sawyer: "Heh! I've saved a planet TWICE. You gonna be just another notch in my belt!" *EoT.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Razor's technology is beyond any planet, you fool!"
Metal Man (GM): He continues flying around, skating on the air itself.
Gibby: "So much talking..."
The Ninja while is seems the Ninja couldn't dodge all of the lasers, it would seem all is did was put holes in his cloak. "Sorry, Mr. Robotnik. But even your technology can not help you." He spins his sword staff around and hurls it at Robotnik.
Julian Sawyer: "Razor was a stuck-up punk******** who thought he was the God of Chaos!"
Metal Man (GM): He escapes it at the last second.
Just a little faster and he'd be hit.
Ivo Robotnik: "You're more stuck up than he was!"
The Ninja catches his weapon. "So fast... I must do something else." (End turn)
Dragoshi: *Panting... He takes a Ivantek Recovery Vial, and attempts to strike him with his scythe, even though it might be futile...*
"...Dammit." *He waits, saving 1 TP. EoT.*
Metal Man (GM): He flies past it so fast his laugh is heard with the sonic boom he makes.
Ivo Robotnik: "And now it's for the incumbent to the position, who hasn't been back in it since before most of you joined! Hah!"
Gibby wasn't sure if he could hit the guy at all. Now -that- was speed. He takes out a recovery vial and chugs it down first. Once he feels up to par, he tries to guess where Robotnik will fly at and attacks with a single horizontal slash at that area.
Metal Man (GM): Ooh! So close... but also a miss.
Ivo Robotnik: "That's a bit too close... I should have invested in nitro boosters."
Gibby leaps back to the others. SO close... he reserves his last TP and ends his turn.
Metal Man (GM): Aetos' turn
Aetos waves his hand and is showered by glowing wind. EoT.
Dragoshi: "..."
Ivo Robotnik: "Now... to show you the true power of the God who walked amongst you fools!"
Metal Man (GM): He powers up.
Julian Sawyer: "Aw hell..."
Dragoshi: "Gaw dammet..."
Gibby: "Not... fun."
The Ninja: "Brace yourselves! ...And not with braces!"
Metal Man (GM): He reaches for his back... pulling out an energy blade.
Dragoshi: "..."
Ivo Robotnik: "It's not Chaoverge, but it's enough to chop you into tiny pieces for hitting me."
Metal Man (GM): He flies at Julian, causing a sonic boom.
He attempts to impale him on the blade.
Julian Sawyer: *Ouch.*
Metal Man (GM): 205 damage... but that's not all!
Julian Sawyer: *Goddammit.*
Metal Man (GM): He powers it up while it's stuck in Julian... attempting to literally make Julian explode!
It being a throw-attack, of course, he needed only to hit first.
*calculates damage...*
Oh, and the previous damage was laser.
As is this extra 200 laser damage as he sends you flying backwards.
However there is one downside to it.
He used his entire turn to explode Julian.
Gibby: "...I want to cry..."
Dragoshi: "..." (Speechless.)
Julian Sawyer: *...Yeah. Julian's not moving. Again. Hate you ALL.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Ahah! It works! Just like it did against my renegade machine... now I shall truly succeed, for he was unstoppable!"
Metal Man (GM): Ninja
Gibby: "Well... not really... but still."
Ivo Robotnik: "Perhaps if you win I will reconsider. As of now, my most ingenious scheme yet is winning handily. All I must do is destroy every combat viable Quester before me..."
Metal Man (GM): He flies around more.
Aetos shrugs. "You consider me combat viable, then?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Oh, how Charles would envy my unstoppable plan... he tried things like this before, but not even his X-zone shield was good enough. For he was opposed by Razor."
The Ninja looks at Julian, then at Aribar before running out away from the group to use a different skill. He's going to taunt Robotnik. "Mr. Robotnik. Your swordship skills or good, but you forget one thing... A mere ninja that sneak in behind you and clonked you on forehead. I believe you are not all that smart... In fact, I bet you type less than 30 words per hour! Ah hahaha!"
Ivo Robotnik: "Anyone who can wield a weapon or punch must die. So you do. But can you actually hit me?" *Flies around, sticking his tongue out.*
Gibby: "...What is he -doing-..."
Dragoshi: "..." .oO(...This is not good.)
Ivo Robotnik: "You are not strong enough to survive another en masse attack... it shall take more than that to deserve a stabbing."
The Ninja: "Ah! But you can not hurt a ninja, Mr. Robotnik. In fact, you lack skills in touching me."
Ivo Robotnik: "Then I shall touch you with one of many abilities I have."
The Ninja is done as he gets ready for Robotnik to attack.
Ivo Robotnik: "I believe you are outmatched, former ally elf. If you joined me I could spare you."
Aribar gives off a golden glow and his wounds heal. The elf stands up and looks up at Ivo.
Ivo Robotnik: "We could rule... all of time itself."
Aribar: "I would rather become a lowly thief!"
Ivo Robotnik: "It's agreed. Steal Vendetta and give it to me."
Metal Man (GM): *ZING.*
Aribar: "Or I could call Shadow and tell him you're hurting his 'possession'?"
Ivo Robotnik: "I could kill him, not to mention shoot the dex before you know you had one."
Aribar: "Hmp."
Julian Sawyer: *Vendetta is currently not in Julian's hand... what with the flying death and all.*
Ivo Robotnik: "According to records, Razor was stronger than Metal. So he is stronger than Shadow. Erm... with his powers, I am!"
Aribar rushes over to Sky High and takes the godly staff. He tries to somehow channel its energy to unfreeze Sky High.
Metal Man (GM): You manage in comically zapping yourself.
The Ninja: "Mr. Robotnik. Your talkable manners means you're wasting time. Do you have second thoughts in my challenge?"
Metal Man (GM): *Lightning strikes Aribar, dealing 50 electrical damage.*
Aribar: "GAH! Bad staff!"
Metal Man (GM): -2 TP
Ivo Robotnik: "No. Rather I wish to infuriate the Questers to the point they lose all focus."
Aribar tries to CORRECTLY not get zapped and heal Sky.
Aetos: "Quick, the only thing left is to eat those grapes, Aribar!"
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP*
50 more damage.
Aribar looks like a Christmas tree.
Ivo Robotnik: "You are excellent, Aribar. In fact you are better than mediocre."
Aribar: "Gaah!" (Turn over...)
Dragoshi: "...Hmmm..." *And, now for Deep Thoughts with Dragoshi!*
Metal Man (GM): You thin of picking up the staff and trying what Aribar tried.
Dragoshi: "..." *Any OTHER ideas...?*
Metal Man (GM): You think of picking up the staff and trying what Aribar tried.
This time with a k.
Instead of no k.
Dragoshi: "...Damn. Still nothin'. " *EoT.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Let's see how you do this round. I bet a 50% chance of actually hitting me."
Gibby wasn't going to accomplish anything by just standing around. He was close last time... maybe an extra attack moment would help. He leaps up at Ivo and attacks Ivo twice vertically.
Metal Man (GM): Ouch! More close but failing rolls!
Gibby: "GAH! He's just... TOO fast..."
*He shamefully retreats and ends his turn.*
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman appears.
Ivo Robotnik: "Ah, yes, Wolfman. You must hit me in order to have high accuracy!"
Wolfman: "I think you have that backwards."
Ivo Robotnik: "I was just thinking you might understand it better, for the few moments before you are returned to the scrap heap. Hah hah haaah!"
Dragoshi: "..." .oO(He has that bass ackwards.)
Wolfman will use 2 TP to do a general search around the area to see if there is some other way to win besides hitting him... which he probably can't do.
Metal Man (GM): You search... roll for it!
You find some Goron beer, a Snickers (which laughs at you), and a pinball token.
Maybe if you're MacGuyver you can win with these.
Wolfman wonders... .oO(Sky High liked beer... I wonder where he is. He might need it... don't know why I'm doing this...)
*He picks up the Goron Beer.*
Metal Man (GM): Skyhigh is frozen in time nearby.
He is pointing at the sky.
Wolfman gets the bear as he notices... a pointing towards the sky...
He looks up.
*Beer.*
Metal Man (GM): You stare into the sky.
Through which Robotnik is flying at high speeds.
It's a bird! It's a plane! ...It's a fat man wearing a jetpack.
The Ninja: "Go Mr. Fatman!"
Julian Sawyer: *QDB Whistle.*
Wolfman: .oO(...who is that big guy?)
Metal Man (GM): You did. You saw the aforementioned while looking up.
He appears to be Ivo, however he moves so fast he could also be a figment of your imagination.
Wolfman doesn't even bother to figure it out... his TP is all used up anyway. EoT.
Ivo Robotnik: "I appear to have defeated your former leader by existing."
Aetos waves his hands over toward Aribar as a glowing breeze absorbs into Ari.
Aribar: "Th-thanks..."
Metal Man (GM): Azure is warped in, as Ivo spins around in the air.
The Ninja: "I hope you're ready to lose against a ninja again, Mr. Robotnik. I'll make sure they dig a bit deeper for your grave though... And use a crane."
Ivo Robotnik: "If I die, there won't be enough of me to fill a thimble!"
Azure looks around for a moment and isn't really sure what's going on but sees people on the ground and what looks like blasts everywhere. He raises his hand in the air as energy begins to gather then fires it all in a blast. The monk removes his hood afterwards as he enters. *Turn end.* *Attack Slipstream blast.*
Wolfman: "Probably for the best that way."
Metal Man (GM): The dice hate your guts today.
Once again you miss by a single digit... as he spins outta the way.
The Ninja: "I sure hope he doesn't hurl from that..."
Azure: "Sorry I'm late. But then you weren't expecting me to begin with." *The monk says slowly.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Forget strategy. I will burn you to cinders!"
Metal Man (GM): He pivots around again, putting his sword away and whipping out a gun the side of a dog house.
Dragoshi: .oO(...Yanno, it's NEVAR a good thing when your foe says '**** strategy!')
Wolfman gets a good look... holy Slag!
Gibby: "...Holy crap!"
Dragoshi: "...Holy damn!"
Metal Man (GM): He holds it with both hands and begins charging it... it looks capable to blow up an entire city block when it's fully powered.
Gibby: "If anyone has a plan, I'm willing to listen."
Metal Man (GM): It begins charging up, a green energy appearing inside it.
Aribar stands behind Skyhigh.
Ivo Robotnik: "Within a few seconds, everything nearby but me will explode!"
Metal Man (GM): *Revive.*
Dragoshi: "...What distance is...'Nearby?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Slightly under a mile!"
Gibby: "It's close enough, Drag."
Dragoshi: "...Ah."
Julian Sawyer: "...The **** was that..." *Suddenly sits straight up* "Where the HELL did did get that gun?!"
Ivo Robotnik: "It's mounted to my back, as everything else. With one shot, I can destroy one of each of your lives!"
Aribar: "You are a horrible monster!"
Ivo Robotnik: "I am the Eggman!"
Gibby: "No kidding..."
Aribar: "A rotten egg!"
Dragoshi: "...Not gonna make any jokes..."
The Ninja: "I knew he would have the guts to challenge a Ninja with a sword."
Azure: "Why work on absolutes when you have the ace in your hand." *Azure shrugs thinking from Ivo's point of view.*
Julian Sawyer: "...We're gonna need help." *Julian scrambles back to his feet, runs over to Sky, and grabs the staff, his Nano Gloves suddenly activating as he tries to revive Sky High!* "WAKE UP!"
Metal Man (GM): You are hit by lightning.
-2 TP, 50 electric damage.
Ivo Robotnik: "Julian's joining in on the self-electrocution fun!"
Julian Sawyer: "GAH!" *Julian's knocked flat on his back* "...Gonna die anyway..." *Julian gets right back up and tries it again!*
Ivo Robotnik: "Wasting the last moments before he regains his position as being dead..."
Metal Man (GM): This time you manage to do a tiny bit better.
Nothing happens.
Gibby: "Hmmm... there may be something there."
Wolfman: "Such as...?"
The Ninja would focus on the weapon Eggman has, then with a quick throw, he would aim for weapon as if trying to knock it out of service.
Ivo Robotnik: "Now... give me your best... before you give me your lives!"
Metal Man (GM): Normal attack roll; I'll see what to make of the results.
Aribar: "Okay... Guys, do we zap Ivo or revive Skyhigh?"
Julian Sawyer: "...Almost got it." *Calls over to the Questers* "C'MON! We gotta free Sky, only way we're gonna take out Ivo!"
Dragoshi: "Why not alternate?"
Gibby: "If we revive Sky, he can put the hurt on Ivo!"
Metal Man (GM): ...You throw it so well it hits him in one of the hands, causing him to fall onto the ground with it.
He takes the damage, then some more from falling.
Dragoshi: "...Good one."
Metal Man (GM): He gets up and re-lights his jet boosters, flying around again quickly.
Ivo Robotnik: "That was an isolated incident!"
Metal Man (GM): It seems the thing got dented.
Julian Sawyer: "...That works too."
The Ninja catches his weapon and throws it again at the same target.
Ivo Robotnik: "Gah!"'
Metal Man (GM): *SMACK* *Crash* *SNAP*
He falls doubly hard and is sliced both times. His device begins sparking.
Ivo Robotnik: "It's still good enough for one shot before it explodes!"
Aribar: "Keep it up!"
Ivo Robotnik: "...I doubt its accuracy, though." *Gets up again.*
Metal Man (GM): One more good hit from someone would probably knock it out completely.
Aribar: "And if it explodes in your face?"
Ivo Robotnik: "A mere technicality!"
Gibby: "...Yeesh... when did everyone get so strong all of a sudden?"
The Ninja catches his weapon and and shakes his head. "Give it up, Mr. Robotnik. You're better off running." (end turn.)
Ivo Robotnik: "None of the others will hit me. I will succeed!"
Aribar tries firing two Ice Darts at that gun to start things off!
Metal Man (GM): *Miss* *Miss.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Mwoohoohoohoo!"
Aribar takes that blasted staff and tries to shoot Ivo with it!
Metal Man (GM): He uses his speed to evade it.
Ivo Robotnik: "Your lightning is sloooow!"
Aribar tries to enhance its accuracy with Chaos Control! All 9 points he can use!
Ivo Robotnik: "Bah. Child's play. TIME CONTROL!"
Aribar: "What?!"
Metal Man (GM): He suddenly teleports out of the way, the bolt itself now frozen mid-air in time.
Aribar: "..."
Julian Sawyer: "...You gotta be ****in' kiddin' me."
Ivo Robotnik: "I may not have much of it, but it's enough to keep any tricks you use permanently disabled!"
Aribar: "Fine. Don't fly into it!"
Dragoshi: "...Right." *Dragoshi runs over to the staff and attempts to do the same as the others and revive Skyhigh.*
Ivo Robotnik: "It wil become stronger as I beat you up!"
Metal Man (GM): Dragoshi is hit by lightning for 50 damage.
Dragoshi: "...I've felt worse shocks" *Tries again.*
Metal Man (GM): You see the time thing around Skyhigh beginning to fade... but slowly.
Ivo Robotnik: "By the time that repels it, I'll have enough to do it over again. Consider yourselves doomed!"
Dragoshi: "..." (EoT)
The Ninja: "Aribar. I have question. Is it possible to kill a god like Sky?"
Wolfman: "I'd think most gods are immortal."
Ivo Robotnik: "Tell that to Kuja!"
Gibby decides to try and help Drag revive Sky. He wasn't going to get any hits on Ivo anytime soon. He runs over to the staff and grabs hold of it.
Metal Man (GM): *Lightning*
50 electric damage to Gibby
Gibby: "GAH! Must... try... again..." *Grabs hold of it again.*
Dragoshi: "He said MOST, you idjit, not ALL."
Aribar: "Gods can become mortals and mortals can become gods. We've just proved this. So... I think so, Zel."
Gibby is all lightninged.
Metal Man (GM): *More lightning* 50 electric damage to Gibby
Gibby: "...Alright... I'm done..."
Wolfman: "Should I try to help revive Sky as well?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Yes!"
Wolfman: "...since when did you care Buttnik?"
Aribar: "We need to destroy Ivo's weapons AND revive Sky!"
Dragoshi: "Well, most of us can't HIT him."
Julian Sawyer: "If you can hit Ivo, HIT HIM! Aim for the weapon!"
Wolfman: "Well, I can't destroy the weapons."
The Ninja: "I suggest weapon comes first."
Metal Man (GM): Order: NahRasur, Julian, Ninja, Aribar, Dragoshi, Gibby, Wolf, Aetos, Azure
Wolfman goes over to Sky, and attempts something... silly, once again.
"Sky likes beer... might as well give him some.
Objections?"
Ivo Robotnik: "You do notice he and his visor are frozen in time. No? Go ahead."
Julian Sawyer: "...Wolf, he's got a-What he said."
Aribar: "Right..."
Wolfman wonders if Ivo is hiding something about that statement.
Metal Man (GM): You detect he wants the beer.
You then wonder if you had drunk some beer before making that check.
Wolfman: "...at this point, I don't care if this isn't rational thought."
*He cracks open the beer and attempts to force feed it down Sky.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Your sentence would baffle even my grandfather."
Metal Man (GM): It's like spilling beer all over a statue.
Aribar: "Wolf, he's frozen in time!"
Gibby: "We've lost it..."
Metal Man (GM): You successfully turn Skyhigh into a fountain of beer.
-2 TP
Wolfman: "I was hoping the beer would purify him or something. I didn't want to get shocked."
Ivo Robotnik: "Bravo."
The Ninja: "...This is truly dishonoring."
Metal Man (GM): Aetos' turn
Gibby: "...Smells like impending doom."
Julian Sawyer: "...Wolf, just stop tryin'."
Wolfman turns to Ninja.
"Blame my intelligence chip. At least I try to come up with unique ideas."
Julian Sawyer: "Which don't work."
Aetos reaches behind his cape and pulls out the Legendary Helmet of Sky High. "Ivo! I've got a present for you. Please accept it? It shall be most helpful!" Holds the helmet out for Ivo to take "It grants you a great armor boost!"
Azure: "Shall I make an attempt at this... or continue my attempts at failing to hit this flying contraption..."
Ivo Robotnik: "Armor would slow me down."
Wolfman turns to Aetos now... .oO(What is he doing?!?!? Is he going to betray us again?)
Aetos: "Come now... take it? It helps!"
Wolfman: .oO(I might be occasionally out there, but I don't try to intentionally be a traitor!)
Dragoshi: "..." .oO(...Wonder if he's gonna bonk him in the head with it...)
Ivo Robotnik: "Help? From you? I'd sooner join The Void's side!"
Gibby: "Not -this- again..."
Aetos: "Bah. I hate being a bad liar..."
Wolfman: "Then why don't you?"
Aetos tucks it away.
Ivo Robotnik: "Maybe if you actually attacked me my thing would be disabled. Oh, how much I want you to hit it!"
Metal Man (GM): Azure's turn
Will Azure save the day?
Editor's Note: I actually do like some of the ideas Azure's player goes for, but the original form of this paragraph was kind of oddly formed and poisoned the original intent. So that us in the future can find this as awesome as it must have been imagined to be by the past players, I remastered the 2-3 paragraph post Azure made.
Azure: "I do all that I can!" *He forms another symbol with his hands. He gives a heavy breath: "Rai!" and then outstretches his palms with both his hands. After that, he does a dance-like spin. His arms are stretched outward. Swirling lightning bursts from nowhere accompanied by a surge of water that surrounds Azure's body.
He brings his arms forwards and sends the water surging past him in the shape of a wave that contains the swirling lightning within it. It becomes a sphere; he pulls his arms back, then thrashes them forwards with a palm thrust, almost like his Dragon Fang attack from long ago. The burst is released and shoots upwards in a spiraling beam pattern.
A dragon forms from the swirling water and bears its fangs, launching an electric flow and roaring as it flies towards Sky High. Azure spins once more as a linear column of earth rises, enclosed in flames. Earth dragons follow in the same pattern as Azure's first attack; but this one aims for Ivo instead! *Two Attacks: Elemental Surge, Dragon Fang.* *MNT DC Type, DC: 17*
Metal Man (GM): It's a three-paragrapher everybody!
Azure: *TP expended, turn end.*
Metal Man (GM): +5 to DC
Aaaaand he rolls under it!
*BZAP.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Ahhhhh!!!!!"
Dragoshi: "...Oh, NICE ONE!"
Metal Man (GM): It blows up in his face, adding 230 damage to himself.
Julian Sawyer: "...Nice."
Gibby: "YES!"
Aribar: "Excellent job!"
Dragoshi: "...Didn't work out, huh?"
Wolfman just smirks.
Azure: "Thank you. I only did what I could." *He pulls his hood back over his head again.*
The Ninja: "Ah-ha! What have you to say, Mr. Robotnik?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Evil... monks... why must they pull victory out of thin air? ...It doesn't matter. I'll destroy you all!"
Dragoshi: "...'Cause monks are good like that."
Azure: "You're more misguided than than the hair on your head to call me evil..."
Ivo Robotnik: "It's unfortunate that I can't instantly destroy you... but I can still make your life very difficult."
The Ninja: "That was Monk? This Monk is different from Monks I know."
Julian Sawyer: "Aw hell, here he goes again..."
Ivo Robotnik: "Meteor... Revolution!!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): The sky turns red.
Gibby gulps.
Wolfman has no clue what's going on...
Dragoshi: "...Oh cosmic hellfire."
Gibby: "This... could hurt."
Julian Sawyer: "Duck and cover!"
Metal Man (GM): It begins raining soccer-sized meteorites from all directions.
Aribar: "Oooooh piffle."
Wolfman attempts to do just what Julian said.
Aribar takes cover on a side of Skyhigh.
Azure: "Why do I feel like I've been hit by this before..." *Sighs as he raises up and x guard and braces for impact.*
The Ninja: "What form of magic is this?"
Metal Man (GM): For everyone.
Julian Sawyer's shield pops up and tries to aid the damage taking as Julian MOVES!
Gibby tries running for it.
Ivo Robotnik: "The ultimate cube attack of Razor... at full power!"
Julian Sawyer: "An' it can't hit NOTHIN'!"
Aribar then realizes that Sky won't help and blitzes forth to dodge and weave between the meteors with a help of a chaotic boost!
Metal Man (GM): Julian dodges it outright. The DC is 30. It deals 90 damage, plus 90 more for the first five under, and another 90 for the next five under.
No DR pierce.
So each hit is deducted by DR.
Dragoshi: *Takes 83 damage then* "...Heh."
Wolfman is BARELY alive!
Gibby takes his medicine. Painful, but he'd survive at least.
Aribar comes out unscathed. "That was a little too close for comfort..."
Azure takes 255 damage still standing with 3 hp active. His body begins to glow a radiant blue for a moment. For better or for worse something was just unleashed.
Ivo Robotnik: "I'll be sure to finish you all off next time!"
Julian Sawyer: "Let's kick things up a notch!" *Julian retrieves Vendetta, igniting it again. He then times his movements again, aiming to catch Ivo going around the group twice with a One-Two Cut!*
Metal Man (GM): Miss, hit.
He flies around like a madman. Even you have a hard time getting a lock.
Ivo Robotnik: "Pah! I'll show you true swordsmanship! You swing like my grandfather!"
Julian Sawyer: "Aribar, keep tryin' to revive Sky!" *Julian tries again!*
Aribar: "Got it!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit, hit.
Ivo Robotnik: "You will be the first to die for this!"
Julian Sawyer: "Already happened!" *EoT.*
The Ninja: "Are you forgetting who cut you down first, Mr. Robotnik. Here, let me remind you!" *He swings his sword staff around as if winding up just to throw it at Robotnik.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Your aim is spotty at best."
Metal Man (GM): Anything else?
The Ninja catches his weapon and holds it for now. "...I don't even know what that means." (End Turn)
Aribar dashes back to the staff and picks the mighty relic up. He points it at Skyhigh and declares, "By the power of King Erwin I ask of you to revive Sky High from his imprisonment in time! His help is direly needed!" Aribar tries to evoke the power of the godly staff to heal Skyhigh.
Metal Man (GM): Again, you speed up the unfreezing. It'll be at least three rounds now.
Aribar tries to channel his will into the staff and speed the process up a little more...
Metal Man (GM): It is speeding up... two rounds now.
Dragoshi: "Well, lesse..." *Eats an Ultra Shroom. Then proceeds to help Ari.*
Metal Man (GM): You cause nothing to happen.
Dragoshi: "...Well... Maybe one more time..." *Once again.*
Metal Man (GM): You cause nothing to happen.
Dragoshi: "...Huh." (EoT)
Ivo Robotnik: "Come on and hit me, puffball. You're not even half of what Kirby was.
Ha-ha!"
Gibby: "No... not now... but soon..." *He clenches his sword tightly and conserves his TP for the next round. (EoT)*
Wolfman doesn't like this... (thoughts)
.oO(If I Recharge, I won't regen fast enough. If I go for attacking, I have to have a miracle. If I try to help Sky recover faster, I die either through helping him or getting hit by Ivo.
...and if I do nothing, I'd have the Yellow Submarine song in my head.)
"Guys: ideas?"
Ivo Robotnik: "Give Skyhigh more beer."
Wolfman: "Sorry: all out." *Shows empty can.*
Aribar: "Heal people near death!"
The Ninja: "Give yourself beer?"
Dragoshi: "...Do what you think is best."
Gibby: "Uhh... team up with someone? That's what you usually do."
Julian Sawyer: "Don't think!"
Ivo Robotnik: "Attack Julian!"
Wolfman decides... to confront Buttnik... but try to stay IN FRONT of him. This way, hopefully if he does a hit all attack, Wolf will be too close to make it a hit all.
Gibby: "YOU be quiet!"
Dragoshi: "Shoot Ivo with MIND BULLETS!"
The Ninja: "Don't listen to Mr. Robotnik and Jewels."
Aetos: "Julian has the right line! Don't think! Battle is time for action, as I've heard from a few very successful warriors..."
Wolfman decides... to confront Buttnik... but try to stay IN FRONT of him. This way, hopefully if he does a hit all attack, Wolf will be too close to make it a hit all.
Ivo Robotnik: "Oh, drat. You happen to be in front of me."
Metal Man (GM): Aetos' turn
Ivo Robotnik hides behind Wolfman.
"Oh dear. Wolfman is in the way."
Aetos uses his Divine Wind on Julian. A breeze of glowing wind flows into Julian.
Wolfman faces AWAY from the Questers to make Ivo stay behind him.
Metal Man (GM): Not your turn.
The only kind of move you can make is not fast enough to escape him.
Azure's spirit charms appear around him (descriptively can't use those for another 2 levels >.> curse their might) and he begins chanting. They begin to swirl before forming a straight line, wrapping themselves in his hands, forming glowing white prayer beads.
Azure's spiritual energy rushes around his body. Most Questers would recognize this as the barrier he once used to protect others in battle.
Unfortunately he's lost so much power for some reason he can only call it up around himself for the time being. Rei-Ki Barrier. TP left 1. Turn end.
Ivo Robotnik: "The gravity weapon... was but a prototype for THIS!"
*He holds out his hand... and attempts to shoot Julian with a beam.*
Dragoshi: "..."
Julian Sawyer: *Ivo attempts. That's funny.*
Gibby: "What the--"
Wolfman: .oO(...that plan didn't work out right)
Ivo Robotnik lifts up Julian with the... gravity gun?
"You are my weapons now!"
Julian Sawyer: "The fu-...What the HELL is this?"
Metal Man (GM): He begins spinning Julian around... really fast.
Dragoshi: "..."
Metal Man (GM): Then he launches him at Aribar.
*CRIT.*
Wolfman twists his head to see what's going on, seeing what's going on behind...
Julian Sawyer kills the Mage.
Gibby: "...Owie."
Wolfman: .oO(Oh brother.)
Metal Man (GM): You watch as Julian flies into Aribar like a supersonic cannonball.
Aribar kills the Brawler.
Dragoshi: "..." .oO(Sweet nuclear looper on a plane!)
Metal Man (GM): 600 damage to Julian, 400 to Aribar.
Julian Sawyer: *EVERYONE DIES.*
Aribar: *Nuclear explosion.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Hahahahahahaaaa!"
Gibby: "DAMN YOU!"
Metal Man (GM): He brandishes his weapon and continues floating around.
Aetos: "Aww... after all that time they've been healing..."
Ivo Robotnik: "Thinking about defeating me? Think again!"
The Ninja: "...Bah! I'm coming in close!" *He then watches Robotnik as he tries to time his movement, then would leap into the air to give Robotnik a close up attack.*
Metal Man (GM): You fly up into his face.
Dragoshi: "...KILL HIS FACE."
Metal Man (GM): *HIT*
You fly up into his face and smack him good.
The Ninja lands on the ground and looks up at Robotnik. "I gladly accept your offer in defeat." (End)
Dragoshi: "...Hmmm..." *Tries to use the staff to further speed up Sky's recovery...*
Metal Man (GM): Nothin'.
1 round to go on that.
Dragoshi: "...Still gettin' nuttin' ...I think I might have somethin'..."
Metal Man (GM): *Sped up* ...Maybe by the end of the round. Maybe. You can't speed it up much more than that.
Dragoshi: "Well, I did the best I could do." (EoT)
Gibby had -enough- of Robotnik. He wanted to put the hurt on him. Raises his sword high above his head, he gets a running start in front of Ivo and then front flips himself into the air. Once the flip is complete, he starts slashing the anger from out of his head straight on to Robotnik.
Ivo Robotnik: "Ha-ha-haa!"
*dodgefest.*
Gibby: "WHAT? No... that can't be..."
*He returns to the others feeling even -more- upset than before.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Your time is running out!"
Metal Man (GM): He laughs. You do, in fact, see time slowing down.
Wolfman tries to figure out what to do now... if he can think that fast... (luck check)
Ivo Robotnik: "In return for this beating I am handing you... I am slowly gaining the power I need to become eternal leader... forget the Phantom Lords. It's going to be all Ivo!"
Metal Man (GM): You think of trying to counter Ivo with the staff.
With the grapes!
Which... add an extra +5 to staff checks!
Wolfman: .oO(Hmm... that might work... risky, but worth a... wait: which one?)
Metal Man (GM): Or you could eat them. They looks tasteh.
Wolfman: "Hope you don't need the staff anymore guys..."
Ivo Robotnik: "Hmph. Like you can wield it."
Wolfman goes to grab the staff with his left front claw, and grapes with his right. He tries to... well, 'merge' them so to speak, and then have the new combined staff on his back.
Metal Man (GM): Just make a MNT check.
Wolfman: .oO(If this doesn't work, I'll require a rider or something)
Metal Man (GM): You use the staff to project a weak force field around yourself alone.
-4 TP
Wolfman: *EoT.*
Aetos defends...
Azure raises the palm of his hand gathers some energy before firing off two slipstream blasts. The sound of there movement can be heard whirling through the air. Turn end. Damage if hit: 28 each.
Metal Man (GM): And one hits!
Ivo Robotnik: "Gah... you will explode for this."
Wolfman has the minor protection of the staff shield... he hopes it will help out.
The Ninja: "Give me best shot."
Ivo Robotnik: "ULTIMATE MISSILE ASSAULT!"
Gibby: "...Nothing with the word 'ultimate' in it can be good."
Metal Man (GM): He zooms backwards, and twenty missiles fly out of his back.
Dragoshi: .oO(...Yea, it's like yelling ULTIMATE LOOPER GUN!)
Wolfman attempts to brace himself... come on shield, do your thing!
Metal Man (GM): Then they home in on... Azure, Wolfman, Ninja, and Aetos.
50 damage per hit. The first volley is Azure.
The next is Wolfman.
Wolfman hopes for a MAJOR staff shield reflection or something...
Metal Man (GM): And then Ninja.
And then Aetos.
They are... magical? Huh?
Ivo Robotnik: "These missiles can even hit Super Sonic!"
Dragoshi: "...That is NOT good."
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman's shield deflects them, then fizzles. Wolfman is unharmed.
Wolfman hopes they got deflected back towards Buttnik.
Metal Man (GM): They did not.
Dragoshi: *Looks at Wolf*"...Huh. Lucky you."
Metal Man (GM): Skyhigh un-sticks.
Sky High: "That was... freaky... woah! It's him!"
Wolfman shakes off the shield effects...
Azure's barrier goes down after the first volley and after the last few hit Azure is K.O.ed on the ground.
Dragoshi: "...Finally! I never thought we'd unfreeze ya!"
Wolfman then turns towards Sky. "Glad to see you alive."
Sky High: "...My powers tell me he is continually gaining control over time."
Dragoshi: "The lot of us used the staff to try and u-...How?"
Julian Sawyer: "...Urgh..." *Julian gets back up to his feet, and sees that Sky High's back in it* "'Bout time. Anything you can do?"
Wolfman: "How do we stop him then?"
Sky High: "You must destroy him! I can only stop him from using his time powers against your chaos control."
Gibby: "I never thought I'd say this... but thank God for Sky!"
Dragoshi: "...Thanks, Sky."
Sky High glows, as well as Ivo.
Ivo Robotnik: "You can't resist my power for long!"
Gibby: "Or is that... thank Sky for Sky? ...Whatever."
Dragoshi: "...OH, THE CONFU-Yea, whatever."
Sky High: "You can do the destroying, Julian. You've earned it."
The Ninja does indeed get blasted by the missiles. He stands there after the smoke clear. "Gah... Good shot..." He's standing, but barely.
Julian Sawyer: "Whatthehellever. GET HIM!" *Julian rushes Ivo again, aiming for a One-Two-Three-FOUR Cut!*
Metal Man (GM): Miss miss miss miss
Ivo Robotnik: *Avoids Julian* "You're nothing. Nothing at all!"
Azure smoking heap.
Julian Sawyer: "YOU 'bout to be nothin' after we get done wit' you!" *EoT, and **** Metal's Dice.*
Editor's Note: I still think I should have had my dice be the final boss of SSQ 1.
Dragoshi: .oO(You are a Jelly donut, Robotnik.)
The Ninja uses this turn to recover by using a Vial. (End)
Aribar revives in a golden glow... And sees Sky High revived. "Alright, you're awake! Now we have a chance!"
The Ninja: "Good... I don't think I can take another hit."
Aribar fires off a Bolt and an Ice Dart at Ivo! (Bolt for 49 Magical Electricity and Ice Dart for 13 Magical Ice damage.)
Metal Man (GM): Miss
Hit
Julian Sawyer: "You got two more lives after this one."
Metal Man (GM): brb a sec. In the meantime...
The Ninja: "Aribar. We need plan."
Dragoshi: "...Okay... I have no damn idea where I'm going with this, but..." *Tries to Chaos Control THROUGH Robotnik.*
Aribar: "What? Throwing everything including the kitchen sink doesn't appeal to you?"
Julian Sawyer: "Only plan is to KILL IVO! Less you got some idea how to Team Up."
Wolfman: "I have an idea... but we might need that staff."
The Ninja: "I see that did not work while storming Mr. Robotnik's place."
Wolfman might still have it, if he didn't put it back.
"I was able to counter/reflect the missiles with the shield it gave me.
Maybe we need a group shield."
Aribar: "That would help. A lot."
The Ninja: "But how? I have no idea about Magic."
Wolfman: "Ninja: I'm as far away from magic as they come, but I was able to make something work."
The Ninja: "Well... You did make beer fountain."
Wolfman: "That was unintentional."
The Ninja: "So how do you make it shield work?"
Wolfman: "I just didn't want to get shocked by the staff through the reviving process. After I put the staff and grapes together... I tried to 'will' defense on me."
Aribar: "What's this about the grapes?"
The Ninja: "Grapes? ...Are they harmful if you eat them?"
Metal Man (GM): Dragoshi tries to chaos control through it.
Wolfman: "I didn't try to eat them yet. Wish for me to?"
Metal Man (GM): However he is a big gigantic energy thing in that way.
Wolfman: "Aribar: The grapes by the staff."
Metal Man (GM): Dragoshi hits him and is shocked for 50 electric damage.
Wolfman: "Do you know anything about them?"
Dragoshi: "...Huh."
The Ninja: "Hmm. You focus on defense. I eat grapes."
Dragoshi: "..." *Saves his last two TP. EoT.*
Julian Sawyer: "...Why are you gonna eat the grapes?"
The Ninja: "See what they do."
Aribar: "You mean they actually did something?"
Gibby pretty much had no plan, nor did he care about what the others were planning. He just wanted to prove himself amongst the others. It was embarrassing... not a single hit landed on Ivo! He -knew- he could do better than this! He charges towards Ivo once more and attempts to slash at him two more times. Surely he wasn't out of his prime... was he?
Wolfman: "Grapes + Staff = minor defense shield that saved me."
Aribar: "Ah..."
Metal Man (GM): Miss, hit!
The Ninja: "Maybe they heal, Or better."
Ivo Robotnik: "The end is coming!"
Wolfman: "Ninja: defense or eating? You know this situation the best or second best here."
Aribar: "Let's stick with things we KNOW will happen!"
Wolfman: "...understood."
Ivo Robotnik: "Like your deaths!"
Aribar: "You're a... Robot thing! Eating things and you wouldn't mix I wound imagine."
Wolfman: "Aribar, I'm not the generation of my predecessor. I can eat and drink."
*He goes to the staff + grapes, and attempts another force field... this time, he attempts to will it to everyone if possible. (MNT again?)*
Metal Man (GM): *Nothing*
You power it up... something else happens.
Wolfman: .oO(Grant us defense... huh?)
Metal Man (GM): You project an image of Kales Brando, which then flies at Ivo with his sword.
*ZOOOOOM.*
Ivo Robotnik: "Gah!"
Metal Man (GM): He takes an instant 100 damage.
Dragoshi: "...What the HELL?! Who WAS that?!"
Wolfman: .oO(...that wasn't my intended effect.)
Aribar: "The spirit of Kales Brando just helped us... Just keep it up, Wolf!"
Gibby: "That... was weird."
Ivo Robotnik: "Grr... you... cannot... win!"
Wolfman appreciated the attack, but could use DEFENSE now! goes for team shield again.
The Ninja: "Ah! He's weakening!"
Metal Man (GM): Instead it launches a lightning bolt at him, causing him to crash to the ground.
Dragoshi: "..."
Wolfman: .oO(Why can't this thing protect us anymore?!?)
Metal Man (GM): *BLAM* Another hundred... and he's slowed down. -10 to his AC.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Dragoshi: "...Good job, Wolf."
Wolfman gets a look... hmm... oh well.
Azure: "He's on the ground..." *Azure gets into that all to familiar stance.*
Metal Man (GM): He gets up, slower now that his jets are dead.
Julian Sawyer: "You in for it NOW, boy!"
The Ninja: "...The time is ours!"
Gibby: "Heh... he's SO going to get it now."
Wolfman: "After him Questers!" *Turn Ova!*
Ivo Robotnik: "I will fight to the eeeeeend!"
Metal Man (GM): Aetos' turn
Aetos swirls his arms around and a long, thin disc of wind spins above it. He thrusts his hand toward Ivo as the disc zips through the air, homing in on Ivo.
Gibby: "Yeah... YOUR end!"
Metal Man (GM): He still runs really fast.
Aetos: *It slices into him, dealing 90 wind damage.*
Metal Man (GM): He's crackling. Fire appears on parts of his suit.
An insane gaze of determination appears on his face.
Wolfman: "I think you just made him mad Aetos."
Gibby: "Uhh... yeah, he's going nuts."
Ivo Robotnik: "You do not know what you're toying with..."
Dragoshi: "He's nucking futs."
Metal Man (GM): ...You've seen that expression before. It was Gerald's before he died.
Aribar: "Be prepared for anything! We have not yet suffered Razor's strongest moves."
Metal Man (GM): 'Cept... he is no old man, and not helpless.
Wolfman: "I tried to be prepared... but the staff wouldn't give us a defensive boost!"
Julian Sawyer: "Long as he doesn't focus it on me 'gain..."
Wolfman: "He'll probably target me next Julian."
Julian Sawyer: "Good! You haven't died yet!"
Sky High: "Guys... his will is strengthening! He may attempt to use his last energy to kill us all! It's incredible... almost as if he isn't alone..."
Azure rises again. "Then fight to end, we shall."
Azure spins around for a moment before rushing toward Ivo with a powerful shoulder ram. Identified as his signature Bozen Smash.
Followed by that hit, Azure's foot extends and follows in the same mind-blowing fashion in a display of power, before spinning to perform another palm thrust.
Azure then jumps away and performs another Bozen smash tackle. Strike of the normal attacks!
Aribar: "...The Fury is with Ivo!"
Julian Sawyer: "Oh GODDAMMIT!"
Ivo Robotnik: "Guess again, elf."
Azure: *Bozen Smash.*
Ivo Robotnik: "The Fury is an inferior being!
I alone am the strongest being to exist!"
Metal Man (GM): *Hit.*
Wolfman: "But isn't the Fury a Phantom Lord? I mean... what's above that?"
The Ninja: "How many guesses do we get, Mr. Robotnik?"
Dragoshi: "...Oh, he did NOT just say Inferior being! He did NOT just *Draconic*ing SAY THAT!"
Gibby: "He did..."
Ivo Robotnik: "As many as you can make before my next attack..."
Julian Sawyer: "You 'bout to be the strongest being to get wiped off the face of the planet!"
Azure: *Lotus Kick.*
Metal Man (GM): He laughs coldly, coughing up blood.
CRIT
The Ninja: "Okay, I'm guessing you're not the real Ivo, right?"
Azure: *32 damage.*
Ivo Robotnik: "THERE IS NO IVO MORE REAL THAN I... desperate fool..."
Azure: *Palm Thrust.*
Julian Sawyer: "'Course it's the real Ivo!"
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Azure: *Feeble 7 damage Bozen fist.*
Ivo Robotnik: "I should have known... the God of chaos is nothing compared to what I have next."
Dragoshi: "..."
Metal Man (GM): Crit.
Aetos: "You think this guy is stronger than Kales Brando?"
Sky High: "Whatever it is... it has never been matched before."
Aribar: "If he wasn't we would have put him down long before."
Azure: *24 damage Damage results over turn end.*
The Ninja: "I don't know. He looks fake to me. Mr. Robotnik can't seem to get the best of me... But then again, he never did in the first place."
Ivo Robotnik: "I unleash the fury that is beyond all which you have seen before..."
Julian Sawyer: "Watch it..."
Metal Man (GM): He holds up his arms, and you hear a massive rumbling.
Ivo Robotnik: "ASTRAL FURY!!!!."
Julian Sawyer: "Somethin' big's a'comin'!"
Aribar: "Oh, piffle! That is NOT good!"
Wolfman: "What do you intend on doing: trying to pull off..."
Metal Man (GM): It rains white lasers from the sky, which causes everything they hit to violently explode.
AGI checks, everyone.
The Ninja: "...Oh, this is not good. May the spirits be with us." *He claps his hands twice.*
Gibby: "Not good!"
Dragoshi: "...Judgement? No, it can't be..."
Metal Man (GM): DC 20. 500 magic damage if hit.
Aribar lets Chaos Control run the full extent of its powers to try to avoid the horribly powerful Astral beams.
Metal Man (GM): Pierces DR.
Dragoshi teleports out of the way.
Gibby uses the magic of just being so damn cool to perform a series of insane dodges on those lasers.
Wolfman: *BOOM Boom boom boom boom...*
Aetos kersplat.
Dragoshi: "...That attack..."
Metal Man (GM): He falls to one knee, having utterly devastated the battlefield.
Azure is again nuked in the most usual way possible. Death by massive attack.
Ivo Robotnik: "None... shall... defeat... me..."
Julian Sawyer: *And that's Julian's 3rd life. FanTASTIC.*
Metal Man (GM): He sees Julian killed by it.
Dragoshi: "...What WAS that? ...It was worse than JUDGEMENT."
Ivo Robotnik: "Yes... I have done... THE IMPOSSIBLE!"
The Ninja uses his ninja skills to keep from dying this time around. He becomes a blur as he manages to stray about of the explosive paths.
Metal Man (GM): He gets up...
Ivo Robotnik: "This omen means... the Eggman Empire shall last all time!"
Aribar: "What? You killed Julian but missed me!"
Ivo Robotnik: "Killing him... makes me the most powerful being in this lonely universe! Can't you see?"
Sky High: "Guys! Hurry up! He's getting stronger! I'm not even sure if the power of Turion can stop him..."
The Ninja: "You have yet to defeat us, Mr. Robotnik. You have me and Aribar to deal with" *He goes with his plan and takes one of the grapes while proceeding to eat it.*
Metal Man (GM): You eat it, regaining 500 HP... and gaining an odd glow.
Should you take damage over your max HP, you are reset to having 1 HP remaining, then the glow dissipates.
Aribar: "Sky, do you know what Ivo's turning into?"
Dragoshi: "...Dammit, I wanted those grapes!"
Sky High: "His time powers are increasing. Soon, he will have more of them than Shadow has chaos."
Metal Man (GM): Also, you wield the staff at a +10 bonus.
Dragoshi: "...More than Shadow... I can not allow that..."
Metal Man (GM): For three rounds.
Sky High: "That one attack boosted him up nearly to my power to create order on this planet..."
Aribar: "Th-that's really strong."
Sky High: "A bit more and he could go back in time and crush Kuja into a small ball. His only weakness... his form is still mortal!"
The Ninja blinks as as he looks at his odd glow, then at Ivo. It's unsure with his mask, but it almost looks like he's grinning. "Now you will see my power!" He spins the staff and charges Robotnik as he takes a powerful swing at him.
Aribar: "By Whaller! What makes him so powerful!?"
Dragoshi: "...Yes, that it is, Sky."
Sky High: "Not even I can know."
Metal Man (GM): He is stuck again and again by lightning and Kales.
Dragoshi: "...DUDE!"
Metal Man (GM): He is heavily damaged.
Sky High: "He'll only last one more round at this rate... hope you can survive whatever he uses!"
The Ninja enough time to turn and spin for one last swing.
Metal Man (GM): The swing is mighty... but the staff is low on energy.
It zaps him for 50 more, then needs a recharging.
Make that 100 from the lightning.
Dragoshi: "...Sweet Looperin' hell!"
Ivo Robotnik: "Gah... is it really possible... to lose with this kind of power? Kuja himself would bow down... I must make a last stand!"
The Ninja pants a bit from the massive attack. "Aribar... Get the Grapes."
Aribar: "Take this, Ivo!" *A bolt of lightning springs from Aribar's fingers and strikes the mad scientist before a peppering of earth energy damages Ivo a bit more.* (Bolt for 49 Magical Lightning damage, Wood Blast Barrage for 13 Magical Earth damage each.)
Metal Man (GM): Hit
Dragoshi: "...Ivo. You are merely a parasite upon which we shall crush. You may THINK you are a god, but you are a mere mortal performing in this vicious cabaret of a perversion we call life! And nothing can change THAT!"
Metal Man (GM): Miss hit
Ivo Robotnik: "You don't know what you're messing with... if I lose... another will come. He... is less... ... ..." *Coughs*
"You will regret your words."
Dragoshi: "Yes, yes. What doth thou taketh me for, a fool!? Of course."
Aribar: "We are trying to stop another from coming! The end of the strife on Nintendus will hopefully be at hand soon."
The Ninja: "Mr. Robotnik. This is time to give up."
Ivo Robotnik: *Gets a glint in his eye* "Oh yes... Mr. Ninja... but I must do so in style!"
Dragoshi: "...But, regardless..." *He dashes towards Ivo and attempts to carve him, not once, not twice, but THA-REE TIMES!*
Metal Man (GM): Miss CRIT miss
The attack slices him grievously.
He stumbles backwards... defeated.
He stands before you, heavily wounded.
Dragoshi: "...That is why you should never mess with I, Dragoshi Leucrocuta Helldusk!"
Metal Man (GM): However... he raises a fist.
The Ninja: "You have a warrior's spirit, Mr. Robotnik. I suggest you give it everything you got for I will defeat you with my next attack."
Dragoshi: "...Now, to end this... Foolishness."
Ivo Robotnik: "It is too late for that... he has already damaged myself beyond sustainable sentience. I cannot fight further."
Dragoshi: "...What?"
Metal Man (GM): Even though he has taken far above his actual sustainable damage, he walks... slowly... into Dragoshi's face.
Gibby: "...It's over?"
Metal Man (GM): He grabs him by the collar.
Aribar: "...The Fury has taken you over."
Ivo Robotnik: "NEVER... QUESTION... THE... EGGMAN!"
Dragoshi: "..." *Lets out a small hiss, then roars, blasting out a HUGE gout of flame into his face. Or tries too.*
Metal Man (GM): He yells loudly and Dragoshi is shocked by energy, then dropped. Ivo, burnt but unphazed, then lifts his fist... and takes out his gravity gun.
Ivo Robotnik: "For the Eggman Empire!"
Metal Man (GM): He... overloads it!
Sky High: "Watch out. Huge explosion coming through!"
Dragoshi collapses, heavily damaged, and coiled up.
The Ninja: "...What if he doing?"
Aribar: "We need to get out of here!"
Dragoshi: "..." *Gets, up panting, if possible.*
Ivo Robotnik: "I will return... in due time to see you all dead... for there will be more!"
Metal Man (GM): Dragoshi does, indeed... just as Ivo shakes his fist and suddenly the area is blinded by white light.
*Screee---BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!*
Aribar: "Gaah!" *The elf shields his face.*
Metal Man (GM): The light fades after thoroughly knocking you all over and hurling dust on you.
Dragoshi: "...Woah!"
Metal Man (GM): Those with lives are revived, also knocked over.
Wolfman gets up... and gets down.
Metal Man (GM): When all is said and done you behold yourself an afterimage of Ivo which merely fades away.
Wolfman: "...did we win?"
Gibby shakes his head and slowly gets up.
The Ninja: "...Looks like we fight him again one day. I look forward to it."
Dragoshi: *Leans on his scythe, panting heavily* "...Yes."
Gibby: "I... I think so."
Metal Man (GM): Skyhigh gets up.
Sky High: "He has vanished to an unknown area. All of his power has vanished."
"..." *Picks up a strange device which got stuck to his armor.*
Sky High: *Did that.*
Aetos shakes his head and stands.
Sky High: "...I'm lucky... that gravity device's claw would have killed me if I wasn't a God."
Dragoshi: "..." *Still shaking unstably, while holding onto scythe* "That took a hell of fight a lot out of me..."
The Ninja: "Mr. Robotnik is very amusing. I must study his motives a bit more."
Wolfman goes to pick up the dead corpse of Julian.
Metal Man (GM): +10,000 EXP to all... 'cept Julian, who died. He gets 5,000.
Wolfman: "I just want to know one thing before we get back home."
Metal Man (GM): SEASON COMPLETE
Aribar: "It's over... Is everyone alright?"
Metal Man (GM): Dr. Ivo Robotnik DEFEATED COMPLETELY
Wolfman: "...is Aetos a Quester now?"
Aribar: "Yes he is, Wolfman."
Metal Man (GM): +50,000 to all who survived
Dragoshi's body glows an amethyst purple, leveling up.
Gibby dances the happy dance.
Aribar looks over and sees Julian. "Oh... Hey, Zel, Gibby..."
Dragoshi: "..." *Puts scythe away, still standing, shakily.*
Gibby brushes off his hat.
"Yeah?"
Elder: "...I'm not even going to ask what happened here."
Gibby: "You don't wanna know."
Aribar takes out two bags from his pack and tosses them to the Kirby and Ninja. "Ten thousand coins in them... Thanks for volunteering to help save Aetos."
Elder sidesteps as a house lands besides him.
Aribar looks to the Elder. "Uhh... Sorry for the massive destruction."
Gibby grabs hold of the bag, but then shakes his head, and hurls it back at Ari.
Wolfman stays silent during this.
Elder: "Our God will fix all."
Sky High: "Yes... I should stay here... for you guys' own good."
Gibby: "I don't need any money, Ari. I did this because we're friends."
Sky High: "I'm a drunk disco maniac... it was because of me Aetos got into this in the first place. It will be because of me this doesn't happen again."
Aribar: "Th-thanks, Gibby..." *The elf looks up to Skyhigh.*
Sky High summons a portal back to Nintendus.
Dragoshi: "..." *Looks at Sky* "...Are you... Staying?"
Sky High: "You may leave as you wish. I have cleaning up to do."
Wolfman turns towards Sky.
Aribar: "If you ever need the Questers don't be afraid to let us know."
Sky High: "The only way I can make up for my past idiocy due to brain damage is to repair this place."
Wolfman: "I have to admit... I'm very impressed on how you came up in the universe."
Dragoshi: "...Understood." *He says that rather shakily, as he slowly walks into the portal using his scythe as a walking stick.*
Wolfman: "Feel free to come back to Quester HQ now and then... but PLEASE, lay off the alcohol, alright?"
Sky High: "By the way, that wasn't The Fury's help."
Wolfman offers his right paw.
Gibby: "Yeah... no boozing off."
Sky High: "I am immune to it, so I can drink as much as I want now!"
Gibby: "Then... whose was it?"
Aribar: "Then Ivo's power was... Very startling."
Sky High: "Besides. It is part of my godship. I am the God of random good luck and booze."
*Glug glug* "Possibly good luck that happens while in a drunken stupor."
Wolfman is still waiting for his right front paw to be shaken here...
Aetos: "Sky High!"
Sky High shakes Wolf's hand absentmindedly.
"What is it?"
Aribar starts through the portal.
Aetos holds the Legendary Sky High helmet in his hands.
"This helmet has a curse..."
Sky High: "What sort?"
Aetos: "It causes the one who wears it to become extremely stupid..."
Wolfman: "Ninja, our work is done here. Let's go back."
Gibby: "So it does..."
Wolfman goes through the portal, carrying Julian with him.
The Ninja: "Hey Aribar..."
Aribar: "Yes?"
Sky High: "I shall uncurse it for you."
Metal Man (GM): He uses his holy powers to remove the stupidity curse.
Gibby sheaths his sword, adjusts his hat, and walks into the portal.
The Ninja: "Let's take the grapes."
Aetos: "...Thank you very much... also... Did this have something to do with your ... 'stupidity'?"
Sky High: "The same sort had happened to me... it was a side-effect of the Fighter remote. There's more than one reason Metal Man blew all the ones he could find into small pieces.
Only with divine intervention and a trial by Ivo am I free of the more depressing stupidity."
The Ninja: "Well I think they're useful in times of need."
Aribar: "Ahh... Sure. If Skyhigh doesn't mind. Also, thanks for coming with me... Here's ten-thousand coins for it. Standard mission fare." *The elf holds out a bag of money to the Ninja... Gibby might have rejected, but the elf still feels as if he has to offer this...*
Wolfman: "Ari: If they won't take it, I will. I'm only about...3K coins short of that Cloaking Device I wanted."
The Ninja: "Ah! You offer is honored. I will use this wisely." *Takes the coins, then looks at Sky* "And may I take some grapes to aid us in times of need?"
Aetos: "It seems as if you were originally a bright man, who fell under a curse of insanity while around the Questers."
Sky High: "Yes."
Gibby: "I'm still not taking it, Ari."
Sky High: "In fact... with enough work, I think you could grow them in your home world."
The Ninja: "Thanks, Drunken god!"
Azure: *looks around one more moment before he turns and walks threw the portal.*
Sky High: "You should try making wine with it some time."
Wolfman drags Julian through.
Gibby: "Great... a drunken God..."
Aribar: "I still feel entitled to ask, Gibby. And I don't have any more money on me right now, Wolf. I only took twenty thousand with me. Ask for a total when we get back to the stadium."
Aetos: "Sky High Wine..."
Gibby: "I appreciate your offer, but that's all I'll take."
The Ninja goes to picking the grapes, then after gathering a handful he runs into the portal.
Aetos thanks Sky High for what he's done and exits to Nintendus.
Metal Man (GM): *WARP* *WARP.*
Aribar: "Actually, Wolf, I just realized I can't count. Still, come up with an accurate total and then ask me, Okay? Don't want you to fall a few coins short." *Steps through the portal.*
Wolfman already took the portal.
Metal Man (GM): You all reappear at HQ.
Dragoshi: *Still holding onto his scythe. Uses it like a walking stick to walk to wherever Metal is...*
Wolfman brings Julian to Sick Bay... for Dr. Mario to torture--err, help him.
Dr. Mario: "Wow! It's-a dead Quester! I thought-a those were-a extinct-a!"
Wolfman: "Do your thing Doc."
Dr. Mario: "Are-a you sure this is-a not-a fake?"
Wolfman heaves Julian onto the bed.
Metal Man (GM): He pokes Julian's corpse carefully.
Dr. Mario: "He-a appears-a to have been-a killed-a violently!"
The Ninja: "Hmm. ...Oh no!"
Wolfman: "Ivo tried to use the power of gods. He is dead now."
Dr. Mario: *Gets a saw, a hammer, and an electric probe* "This will-a take a while-a."'
Aribar heads to the R&R and plops down onto the nearest stuffed sitting device.
Wolfman nods and leaves.
Metal Man (GM): Dr. Mario picks up an intercom.
The Ninja: "I... I lost important item! I must have dropped it!" *He quickly runs into the R&R room* "Aribar! I have you seen anything I dropped!?"
Dr. Mario: "Professor-a Oak! Send-a in the Pikachus!"
Wolfman: "..."
Dr. Mario: "I-a also need the Pseudo-cube-a bazook-a!"
Aribar: "Ah... What did you drop?"
Wolfman: "I won't ask..."
The Ninja: "Metal's Red tape. He needed it badly."
Professor Oak: "...Just don't point it in the direction of my lab and I will."
Dr. Mario: "All-righty!"
Aribar: "No, but I know what you can do! Get some red markers and recolor the scotch tape in Metal's office!"
The Ninja: "Hmm?"
Metal Man (GM): Wolfman: You hear... squeaky wheels... as the stuff is wheeled in. Good thing you left. You probably wouldn't want to be close to what seems an imminent explosion.
The Ninja: "Ah! Of course! You are wise, Aribar."
Dr. Mario: "The-a only way this-a is going-a to work-a is if I blow up the water-a heater! That is-a what happens-a in the movies-a. It-a must be right!"
Aribar: "Yes, yes... I'll send you the bill in the mail."
*He promptly yawns and falls to sleep on the couch... Long exhausting day.*
Metal Man is asleep on his desk. Dragoshi might have a hard time waking him.
"Zzzz... too much... stress... zzz..."
"Red tape... everywhere... zzzz..."
*He wakes up.* "Huh? Wha?
Uhhh... yes... I watched..."
Dragoshi: "...The whole thing? Even the fight against Ivo?"
SIMBER: "That was until you fainted when everything was hit by rays of light."
The Ninja makes the entire office of Metal Man's entirely of red tape. He doesn't care much for Dragoshi in the room either.
Dragoshi: "...Oh, right. The psuedo-Judgement."
Metal Man: "Well, you can't blame me. I've been up all night trying to confuse the... is that a samurai wrapping tape on your forehead?"
Dragoshi: "...The hell?"
Metal Man: "Well, on the plus side, it'll keep everything in place if there's an earthquake."
The Ninja: "I have just as you requested and have given you a mile of red tape, Metal."
Dragoshi: "...Well, seeing as you HAVE seen everything up to the point of that 'Astral Fury' attack..."
The Ninja: "Though I forgot your red tape, so I colored your scotch tape."
Metal Man: "I can watch the rest, if need be... I heard about Ivo disappearing."
Dragoshi: "...apparently, our ninja friend here took the term 'Red Tape' too literally. ...Anyway, you really should watch the rest. It's rather interesting..."
Wolfman is in his room, recharging. After a good night's sleep, he'll try to find a way to get the 2920 coins he needs to get that Cloak Device.
Metal Man: "He didn't just vanish anywhere, mind you. I have a feeling he went somewhere very bad... But I can't tell exactly."
Dragoshi: "...Huh. Well, that's not good... And, to think, I thought I exterminated him. Oh, well."
Azure returns to the library. For the time he's spent gone one would think he has read everything there could possibly be there.
Editor's Note: I guess they keep getting in new books, or maybe Azure likes to reread past favorites?
The Ninja: "Oh, Metal. I have some news as well!"
Metal Man: "Yes?"
The Ninja: "When I called the Magic Guild, they mention something about man-eating cubes in Mushroom place."
Metal Man: "...I'll be sure to add that to the mission computer. They don't have enough people to fix it quickly, I'm sure."
Dragoshi: "...Good idea."
Metal Man: "If nothing else we can help them."
The Ninja: "Okay! I'm going to plant a few grapes now. The drunken god gave them to us."
Metal Man: "Okay... good work." *Falls over and continues snoring.*
The Ninja: "...At least he didn't pop head at me. He's scary."
Dragoshi: "...I think I'll help. Lead the way, Ninja."
The Ninja then runs off.
Dragoshi: *Follows.*
Metal Man (GM): Now I shall leave before the course hits me in the head and I speak Al Bhed.
Good show, good show. All wonderful.
This will be convenient for my timeline.
The season ended on the last minute of July.
Thus I can use the pre-existing border thing and get to Season 8.
Season 7 is the shortest for literal time wise... ?
