Right, thought the Ijin as it managed to tear itself free from its self imposed prison. Now it was mad. Just when they day seemed like it couldn't get any worse, one of them had shown up to ruin things. Even so, it was outnumbered. It had to get away. It had to-
At it rounded clumsily, the...

It was time.
A rusted groaning of metal rattled into the hangar, as the small form of Decima tore free the corroded maintenance hatch as easily as if it were styrofoam. She glanced down into the deep, dark depths of the vessel's...
"T-this isn't possible!" Sputtered Ze'ev as the Genion seemed to fill his vision, nothing but a vast inescapable fist.
"How can this be-!?"
The outsider's eyes were as wide and white as porcelain dinner plates as pure terror filled his mind - and in that moment of blind, puerile fear, he felt...
"Lord Ashford."
The leader of the insurrection was watching the madness unfold before him unflinchingly when a voice by his ear made itself known. A hooded co-conspirator, one of the few that remained, spoke hurriedly to him.
"Sir Boucher has fallen. Many of our number have defected to the...
Clap, clap, clap
A sharp, rhythmic noise interrupted the proceedings. It was somehow audible, even of the scream of the missiles, over the howl of the Pleiades Taura's batteries, and the exhilaration coursing through the systems of the Rein Weissritter and its spasmodic pilot. A voice crackled...
"A disappointment to the end, Lao."
Vynatea had watched the Sorceror being consumed by his own hubris with what barely amounted to amusement, even as beams from the deformed Nagzadd rained all about him. He was entertained, yet not surprised at the turn of events, as had he the fortune of...
Snap
The spectacular detonation that occurred took Ze'ev's breath away. Even having seen the GAI perform a similar feat, he had never dreamed that this world's incarnation would exhibit this kind of power. Not this soon! Even so - the Sphere of the Twin Fishes would not have misled him, and the...
Ashford listened to Dalgard prattle on with the most remarkable restraint any of his pedigree had ever displayed, his features showing little but the standard polite interest in whatever was being said. Terms such as "flash mob", "backup dancers" and "eldritch monsters" registered vaguely to...
Fire from the half-formed Kaiser and Asclepius both rained down on the shell that covered the Granzon, pulverizing apart the frenzied souls that lend their life forces to its reconstruction. Through the torrent and the fury, the Kaiser's arms reached in, parting the avalanche of screaming...
Air Christmas, Bridge
Time was running out. Blast after blast rained down on the Air Christmas' barrier - no matter how tight their defense, no matter the volume of fire they were able to put out, still more of the specters were closing in, forcing their way through the cracks with sheer...
As "Johanna" spoke eyeballing the distant form of the Granzon in the distance, the Abend's sensors would have blared a sudden alert from her rear. An incandescent beam of blue and white surged forth from behind, broad enough in scope to envelop her entirely - the bright light at the end of the...
Sigrid and the Stardust Fairlions attacks rained down on the Ijin, but whether or not they had hit home would be obscured, as it seemed to vanish in a spray of surf. From below the battlefield erupted... Water, absolute unspeakable gallons of it, as though a sea had been beneath them all along...

Cold water slashed across her face, causing Eris Pseudea to awaken with a start. It was dark, with just a handful of emergency lights filling a large, dark hangar. The freezing, biting chill of the place immediately set in - but as...

Queen Selene watched the combatants duel with wide eyes, barely daring to breath - yet the sudden howl of the... flying tank and its engines would have given her pause. She felt hope surge in her chest at the distinctive markings - Bisen Foris! At last, her prayers had been answered. She turned...
He was glad to see she was focused, at least. Still, given they were flying into the heart of the maelstrom... They were going to need all the luck they could get. He took the Asclepius even closer to the mass of souls - and then stopped abruptly, pulling up with a flutter of the white machine's...
"Worse than DAMON...? Architects of life...?"
Jargon-filled as Derrick's explanation was, Velvet seemed to at the very least understood where he was coming from and gave a determined nod in response. Whatever was here, threatening her home... She would put a stop to it. Yet, as she opened her...
Eris only managed to grumble a response as she followed File Data, slinging herself expertly into the Medius' cockpit. The dark Personal Trooper rose from its crouch, eyes glowing bright yellow as it drew a bead on the nearest target. Somewhere to her left, she heard a strange rumbling whine, as...
