Scene #1046: Duo Battle at the Factory!

Owner	Pose
Fuki	Afternoon at the Factory, machines and buildings buzzing with activity, drones around that are rolling, flying and making use of weird transportation methods to get around. The gate flashes with entrance of two beings, the Shinki riding on top of her Coeurl and the lady cyborg. "Be ready for anything, Sylvie. I can expect the Rapitas but the unknown is going to be a wildcard. Do whatever you can to destroy her." Fuki takes some steps forward with her Coeurl, closing her eyes as her slipway flashes, the Fubuki's armor coming into view and armed with a scythe. "Spread out and scan everywhere for the targets, let's not let them get the drop on us."
Sylvie Alenin	-=COMBAT SYSTEMS ONLINE. BATTERY 98%. ALL CHECKS COMPLETE.=- Sylvie used the trip to the factory to remove all of her safeties and set her system to battle mode. Soon a dropship landed near the rondevous point, a large round ship that opened and allowed Sylvie to step out. The subtle hum of her systems finishing their charge, and Sylvie's shield activating can be heard immediately after she exits the dropship. "Of course; always gotta be ready to adjust t'any situation, ma'am." Sylvie says, flashing a grin towards Fuki as her helmet lowered over her eyes... beginning to scan the area with infrared and radar. Using bursts of her jump jets, Sylvie began to scout out the area, being as quiet as a heavy metal cyborg can be... which wasn't all that quiet, to be honest, which was why she normally fought with geurilla tactics. But their element of surprise was just a bit... lacking at the moment. They were attacking; and had been announced. Sylvie lifts her radio to murmur in it, "Too bad we need this place more or less intact."
Kaede	Kaede's shadowing some of the flying drones, keeping close to the things fuselage to cover her approach. Her visor is down and she's watching both Fuki and Sylvie with thermal vision. Her 'Mount' shifts its flight path and brings her right over the Fubuki. A soft glow forms a pair of her Wing Blades in her hands, as she leaps from the drone and straight down at Fuki... the shriek of an eagle signaling her descent. She's coming down with no assist, though her jetpack is in place, waiting for the moment to flare to life. Just before impact is when it roars, sending another shrill cry into the air as she attempts to land on Fuki, and bury her blades into the other Shinki's torso, avoiding the CMS.
Kongou	Within the Union garrison, the gate flares to life and from it emerges a ... completely ordinary, cheerful brunette in a slightly unusual outfit. A cross between a shrine maiden's vestments and a school uniform. While the soldiers move to defense or evacuation, Kongou strides out past the main defense line, comes to a stop, and props her hands on her hips. "My name is Kongou, nameship of the Super Dreadnought Kongou class!" There's a flicker of silvery light around her hips, forming into metal supports. This works back, swirling and widening until it creates a large superstructure at the small of her back. Extending to either side under her arms are two sections resembling ship hulls, upon which materialize two 2-gun turrets, each. Even before they're done forming, the main battery swivels forward under her arms and Kongou thrusts a hand forward. "<Nice To Meet You!>" Immediately, the shipgirl's guns also issue their own greeting, by way of a thundrous report and a flare of smoke and flame in front of her. The shots are spread out, rather than concentrated, blanketing the area surrounding Sylvie with high explosive fragmentary Type 94 shells. At long range, Kongou is clearly well equipped!
Fuki	Fuki's sensors go off a bit late, turning around to find the Rapitas coming in at a high rate of speed at her. "What in the?!" the tackle and the blades burying into her send her flying off of her Coeurl and into the ground. "G.. get off me!" Fuki flails a bit before kicking the Type Eagle off of her, hoping that those wing blades get ejected from her with the kick off. "It's rare that people get the drop on me, especially Shinki..." she mutters, a groan coming from her as her wisps flare to life behind her. Keesha is poised, and encircling the two shinki, a light smile upon Fuki's masked face. "Rapitas, I hope you like the weather because it's about to storm here. With a bit of Thunder..." and a snap of her fingers, Keesha's whiskers snap forward and emit a bolt of lightning towards Kaede as Fuki moves to retreat to a 'safer' position.
Sylvie Alenin	The young woman walking out in a shrine maiden's outfit was noted. Sylvie's systems pinged her a few times, not seeming to register her as a threat immediately. That was, until she began to speak. Immediately, Sylvie shifted, turning her guns towards her. That hull, and those guns. How strange; they were so similar to old weapons on ships. "'Ello, Kongou. 'm Sylvie Alenin, the Mech Buster. Charmed." Sylvie responds, flashing a wide grin. This would be fun; they were similar, at least to a degree that interested her. And then.... Kongou's main guns unleashed towards Sylvie. As they came for her, Sylvie simply began to walk forward, allowing the shells to impact with her forcefield, draining some of its energy; however for now, the shield held. -=BATTERY CHARGE AT 90%. SHIELD DEGRADATION AT 10%.=- Okay. Her systems were still fine. Sylvie turned slightly, her targetting systems locking onto Hongou's form. Those two linked chainguns suddenly lifted, as Sylvie's silver arm lifted, gesturing towards Hongou. The 8 barrels of the two weapons began to wind up, a hail of bullets beginning to be unleashed upon the Super Dreadnought... all the while, Sylvie calmly walked towards her.
Kongou	"Wow~!" Kongou lifts an arm to shield her face, turning her body sidelong when a high caliber spray swarms around her. Oddly, striking her skin and her outfit is more like hitting the armored hull of a battleship than the fragile cloth and flesh of a girl and her costume. The impacts leave black marks on her white sleeve and blouse, dark marks on her skin, and even shred off bits of cloth--but not as much damage as one might have expected just looking at her. Though she is taking steps to protect her face, just as any ship should guard its bridge. "<Rotating Cannon>, hmm~? That's not something I have~!" Though she obviously can't see, the two gun turrets on her Fit-Out rotate towards Sylvie anyway. The gold projection on Kongou's headband rotates slightly and the guns elevate, then lock into place. "But~! <Kongou Is Not Playing!> Main guns, FIYAH~!" The two forward turrets open up this time--the after turrets can't turn around that far--but the ammunition they launch this time is Type 91, armor piercing. They're also more carefully aimed, the dispersion lower, directed at Sylvie's center of mass on great plumes of thunder and gunsmoke.
Kaede	Kaede does keep hold of her blades, skidding and rolling back onto her feet as she's kicked off the Fubuki. The lightning strikes at her but seems to ground out rapidly, only leaving minor scorching along her left arm and the support to her jetpack. "That's fine~! Cold doesn't bother me, and neither does lightning!" she retorts, dancing around with her blades still clasped in her hands. The Raptias darts forwards, aiming a series of slashes at Fuki, performing a kind of Blade Dance.
Fuki	Fuki keeps her eyes focused upon Kaede, readying her scythe as the lightning seems to do nearly nothing to her. "Predicted my Coeurl huh?" she questions in a bit of self wondering, Fuki's scythe is raised as the enemy Shinki darts forth. One slash digs into her arm while another bounces off her hand and scythe's hilt and another gets her in the arm once more, increasing the gash already made. Fuki groans out in some pain, only to lash right back out, the wisps firing out small laser beams towards the Rapitas while Fuki herself presses forth with reaping swings, intentionally trying to behead or amptate limbs... wide arcing swings using most of her strength into it.
Sylvie Alenin	"Hah! I knew it! Y'definitely're the perfect enemy for me~." Sylvie says cheerfully towards Kongou, continuing towards the enduring ship girl, noting the relatively minor-looking damage. And here she'd thought that was a direct hit! Honestly, Sylvie was getting excited. A heavily armored enemy was her specialty! "That's okay, your main cannons're not th' same's my railguns either, so we've both got differences~." That and when Sylvie's shield falls, her actual cybernetics were not the most enduring. As the main guns fire once more, Sylvie puts more effort into evasion, a burst of her jump jets taking her quickly towards Kongou, resulting in only one of the rounds deflecting (mostly) off of her shield. "Good, good~. If y'aren't playin', then that's th'best... but you'd better not underestimate me either!" -=BATTERY LEVEL: 80%. SHIELD DEGREDATION: 13%=- Mid-dash, Sylvie seemed to stop, a tiny bit of momentum moving the cyborg forward. And then her own 'main guns' turn towards Kongou, the paired railguns turning and aiming in the direction of the battleship girl. "Rail battery one, target acquired. Fire." Sylvie speaks, as a spark of magnetic energy ran along the cannon's length. Soon, a heavy slug was fired for the center of Kongou's mass, attempting to strike the center of her chest rather hard! Of course, in combat, aim rarely goes exactly where it's intended to!
Kaede	Kaede is struck by the lasers, knocking her back as a large hole forms in her torso, just under the CMS. It doesn't go right through, but shows the internals and sparks slightly. The beheading strike meets those blades, being turned aside to clip the 'ear' off her helmet instead, while the follow-up slashes clean through one of her jet-pods, making the device spark and spew smoke, though miraculously it remains partly functional, pushing Kaede up into the air. Is she... grinning? Be glad you can't see her eyes behind her visor. "Oh this is gonna be FUN! I'm gonna tear you to PIECES and present your head to Master as a trophy!" Okay, she might be just a tiny bit unhinged. But now she's translated out of melee, her right blade vanishes, replaced with her trademark Talon Blaster, forming around her hand and attaching partly to her wrist. She takes aim, and fires a volley of pulse shots at both Fuki, and her Coeurl.
Kongou	Taking a step forward, digging it in, Kongou suddenly lunges forward just as that railgun is brought forward. A sweeping motion of her upraised arm intercepts the hypervelocity slug, causing a metallic screech for a millisecond but throwing the slug off course. It chips the armor on the underside of her Fit Out and digs a furrow into the sandy desert floor behind her. "Good, good! 'cuz you haven't seen anything yet!" While her defensive arm is outstretched, Kongou's other arm reaches back behind herself, fingers tightening around the mast at the center of her Fit Out's superstructure. There's a loud clicking sound. It detaches. Wielding her Fit Out as a melee weapon, Kongou draws in close, sweeping what may be a ton or five of solid metal and cannons in an upward-angled arc. Foot sweeping out with the rotation of her own strike, Kongou plants herself, angling the hull upward so that the guns can open fire in an immediate followup. "If you think I'm <Finished,> think again!"
Fuki	Fuki smirks under that mask of hers, eyeing the grinning Rapitas. "Ah, so you are just playing then. Get serious, Rapitas. I am not going to be easy on you." she flares her wings and thrusters kick her up into the air as the scythe dissapears in a flash of light, only replaced by her own rifle. "If you want, we can play this game!" the rapid fire pulse shots graze the Coeurl's fur which sends her shirking back a bit while the other blasts strike directly into Fuki's front, cracking the armor in front. "Keesha, open up with a Thundara!" the Coeurl's whiskersp shoot forth and even bigger bolts of lightning come streaking out towards the Rapitas as laser fire starts emitting from the wisps and the rifle from Fuki's direction, hoping to pin her opponent in a flurry of shots. "Never underestimate the power of a well trained cat..."
Sylvie Alenin	Sylvie had to give it to Kongou; the girl had fast reflexes. Most couldn't defend against a railgun at such close range. The screech of metal on metal was ... definitely interesting; was this girl some sort of human-type android or something?! Okay. The outstretched defensive arm meant possibly there was going to be a shot incoming. And then, of course, Kongou pulls on the cross. Honestly, Sylvie had been expecting a gun or perhaps a sword of some sort. Not the ENTIRE RIG to detach. Sylvie moved quickly to attempt to evade the strike; but having not been prepared to defend against a HAMMER, Sylvie takes a direct hit... and while her shield still held, SHE was sent flying upwards towards the ceiling... in fact, sylvie BOUNCED, several small metal pieces falling off of Sylvie's rig and cybernetics as Sylvie fell back down. But she managed to retaliate in the form of her jumpjets sputtering to life, sending Sylvie flying as 500 pounds of metal and person towards the center of Kongou's mass... attempting to take her down! -=CHARGE MODE ACTIVATED.=- Pings Sylvie's mass... if that wasn't enough for her to have attempted to tackle Kongou, Sylvie was attempting to drain electricity from whatever systems she may have! ... Of course, if Kongou doesn't have electrical systems, then that would be somewhat of a waste.
Kaede	Not being in contact with the ground means the electricity can't ground out this time, and the bolt thrills through her systems, frying a few but non-essential things, like her morality circuit. That grin turns more manic now, as she grazes one of the lasers and surges in, rolling out of the path of the remaining ones. "You want serious~ Okay!" she says, tackling Fuki, only to attempt to grapple-toss her into the ground!
Kongou	Guns smoking, Kongou immediately whips the shape of her Fit Out back behind herself where it locks in with a heavy metallic click. "You won't escape once I've locked on to you~!" A light-hearted taunt to the cyborg currently hauling herself up off the ground. Kongou, to her credit, just wears a bright smile. Even when Sylvie charges at her, that smile remains, though Kongou holds out her arms and plants her feet. It's a sound not unlike two great warships slamming together in the harbor. Metal on metal, strength against strength. There's some electrical power there... but not as much as one might expect. Built in 1912, Kongou isn't exactly known for advanced digital electronics. When she notices the drain, digging her heels in to stay upright, the girl glances down slightly, then lifts her face with a huge grin on her face, "Oh? Were you looking for something? If it is <Presents> you want, I can give them to you!" All four of Kongou's turrets swivel forward, under her arms and angled inward, elevate to chest level, and open fire in a rapid-fire staccato of explosive blasts and plumes of gunsmoke. So close, evasion's going to be difficult. The MechBreaker might have to facetank this broadside.
Fuki	Fuki raises an eyebrow and quickly flies upward to dodge the incoming manic Shinki. "Well, this is more like it, perhaps I should reprogram you to join my side, Rapitas..." she smirks, turning around to follow the Shinki with her rifle and with a simple trigger press, the wisps and laser rifle light up at once and send bursts of beams down towards the Type Eagle. "It's nice to see a Union being driven mad with anger. YOu're no better than the ones you call evil and mean..."
Kaede	Kaede is struck dead on with the laser blast. She's knocked clean backwards, and slams into the ground. This sheers off the damaged arm of her jetpack, the fragment detonating as the damaged section finally gives up the ghost. The shinki bounces, flips up and over to land on her feet again. "Whoever said I was angry~?" she asks, sickly sweet. "I'm having /FUN/ breaking you!" she adds, dismissing her Blaster and remaining Blade. The lightshow that comes next reveals a much larger weapon, easily the same class as Fuki's laser rifle. This is aimed up at the still flying Fubuki, and with a hold of the trigger, charges up a whining energy mass, before she releases the trigger, and the bolt fires, seething with power.
Sylvie Alenin	"The same can be said've you!" Sylvie says, flashing a grin back at Kongou at her taunt. The mechbreaker was enjoying this, even if she's taking some pretty nasty hits. The draw of electrical power was ... a trickle. Not much, still, it was enough that Sylvie would be able to continue battle for a little while longer, her charge staying at 80% instead of dropping lower. Luckily, Sylvie was not intended to destroy Kongou with that impact... or hurt herself! Much. "I got enough of a present, thanks!" Sylvie responds with a bit of a cheeky smirk. And then, of course, the main guns all aimed at her. Reflexively, Sylvie sent a burst of energy to take her flying back, crossing her arms in front of her with a grunt as her shields take a HEAVY strike. They falter, the shield glowing less brilliantly... and did some of the explosions get through it? -=SHIELD DEGRADATION: 60. WARNING. USER DAMAGE IMMINENT.=- "Tch, I know." Sylvie mutters to the air, lifting her silver arm to pull a shard of shrapnel out of her shoulder, the screech of metal on metal audible as Sylvie continued to fire her jumpjets, taking herself back to a longer range once more. -=TARGET LOCKED=- Sylvie grins, lifting a hand to outstretch it towards Kongou. "Hellfire Launcher, fire." Sylvie states. Two of the caps on her missile batteries open, two heavy and relatively slow-firing missiles firing towards Kongou! Soon, the missiles were flying... to hit above Kongou?! The pair of rockets strike the ceiling above Kongou, and immediately afterwards; secondary plasma bombs would begin to rain down towards the battleship, along with large amounts of debris. Immediately upon striking the ground, roughly 18 explosions would explode on the ground below the initial explosion -- and hopefully on Kongou!
Fuki	"Direct hit..." she whispers, shaking her head some as she stops her barrage of laser fire... "Because you're giving into the desires I like... you're wanting to break me, you despise me... yet... you're doing this in the same manner as a Confederate instead of a Unionite..." she laughs as she dives down, rifle and wisps dissapearing as her acidic scythe comes into view this time. Her downward motion makes it easy to aim at as the blast crashes right into her, breaking off a large section of her armor and cutting a small hole that can be seen through in the Shinki's torso.. This doesn't slow down the ninja Shinki as her thrusters fire on, scythe being swung back... "Time to die.." she whispers, aiming right for the torso, using a near full strength slice powered by acidic melting!
Kaede	Kaede hops backwards, missing the scythe slash itself, but getting splashed with the acid, globs of the caustic fluid melting away at her armour and visor. The eye-screen has survived well through the fight, but now the smoke coming from it shows the burning desire in the blue-shinki's grey eye... she's, feeling /pleasure/ from this? Once the acid starts to neutralize, she swings her Bolter back into place, pulling the trigger again but holding it for longer. The 'bolt' starts to seep out of the barrel, ballooning out in a great yellow-white conflagration. "Time for you to go to sleep~. I'll make sure it's painless for you, but I can't promise you won't feel it burned into your CMS~." she sing-songs as she unleashes a Charged Shot from the heavy rifle.
Kongou	Back to long range, Kongou's guns swivel to adjust, elevating once more while the girl rears to her full height once more. Lifting her arms, she folds them under her chest, wearing that smile of hers. Amidst the larger turrets, smaller ones also rotate and, in scant seconds, the air around her fills with tracer fire as machine guns and flak batteries target the incoming missiles. When they go wide, the batteries silence. The fact that the rockets explode overhead and drop explosives, however, prompts Kongou's defensive battery to open up again. The air above her fills with explosions just seconds before the girl herself is enveloped and surrounded by them. Commotion dies down for a moment and smoke blows clear. Kongou still stands, singed, the edges of her outfit blackened, and the barrels of one of her turrets mangled. Arms unfolded, she thrusts them out to either side, shedding smoke, "<Very Nice!> But you do not seem to understand just who I am! As I said earlier, I am Kongou, nameship of the Kongou class super dreadnought battleships! <Anti Personnel> won't get you far with me~! Now you get to see my <Serious Side!>" Eyes closing, Kongou draws her arms in. The metal backpack unit begins to glow, surrounding her in a halo of light until even her body is absorbed by it. The sphere grows rapidly in size, smashing into a shed structure as if the surface were solid. What appears from within isn't the girl. It's not even the girl in new armor or as a giant. No it's just an entire goddamn battleship. Steely gray hull erupts forth at an angle, then slams down on the sandy ground of the Factory. Though parts of the superstructure are damaged and smoking, and one of the two aft main gun turrets is mangled, everything else appears to be fully functional. "<Watch Me Closely~!>" Kongou's voice booms from within the steel beheamoth. Those three main guns start to rotate, but it'll be a few precious moments before they'll be able to target Sylvie. No, what she has to worry about is the 20mm machine gun batteries that are also opening up, though no person mans the emplacements.
Fuki	Something twitches in Fuki's memory banks, even she's not that crazy and she gets battle lust too.. She shakes her head as the bolt peirces her body once more, another hole inside... Fuki takes a deep breath and casts off her mask, showing a red eyed, scowled face. "Gloves are off, Shinki..." The scythe dissapears and soon replaced by a pair of kama in her hands. Landing on the ground, Fuki sizes up the Shinki only to lean forward and use her thrusters to propel her forward at a rapid pace, leaping up to try and use her taloned feet to grab onto the Rapitas' shoulders to get the leverage needed to dig the kama into her back and rip upwards with them!
Sylvie Alenin	Okay, so, being in close range seemed to be the easiest place for Kongou to hit; since she was small. Sylvie gave a click of her tongue. "It's harder fighting personnel over mechs..." Sylvie mutters under her breath. watching the explosions unleashing around Kongou. Still, this was proving fun. As the commotion dies and Kongou speaks, Sylvie grins. "Anti-personnel? I'm not sure what you're talkin' about. Those're to take down mechs. Like I said... 'm Sylvie, the Mech Buster. You're basically perfect for me t'fight." Sylvie says, grinning as ... Kongou draws her arms in, and she began to ... she turned into a battleship. A little shrine maiden woman just turned into a batlteship. Well. That was a bit fun to behold, especially since Sylvie was new to the multiverse. A low whistle escapes from Sylvie at the sight of the girl turning into a battleship. "Now that's a neat trick." Sylvie says with a soft laugh. And then... the three main guns start to rotate, and the machinegun batteries turned on her. As they fire at her, Sylvie's jump jets spark to life again, sending her flying (more or less) out of harm's way, a few bullets managing to penetrate her shield to deal glancing blows to the cybernetic chassis beneath. Once more, the chain-linked machineguns sparked to life, beginning to rotate rapidly as Sylvie flew over the ship in an extended burst of Jump Jets, high-explosive rounds raining down towards the closest main battery; aiming to make sure that there was a pair of mangled guns for Kongou to enjoy! Unlike before, however, the bullet spread was wider and longer-lasting, each shot exploding violently!
Kaede	Kaede cackles as she punches a new hole in Fuki. Her targetting system is down with the damage to her visor, and so she sheds it, ripping the broken helmet off and tossing it away. "Fine by my!" It's during this she gets grabbed and stabbed. Luckily she shifts and the Kama smash her remaining flight pod instead of getting her body. The pod detonates and Kaede dismisses her Bolter. Instead a Buckler with those curved blades appears on her left arm, and a third blade appears in her right hand, as she twists away from the Fubuki. The buckler-arm grabs for Fuki's ankle, attempting to yank her off and slam her into the ground, before she descends to stab with both sets of blades, her manic expression now on full display.
Kongou	"Mechs aren't warships~." Kongou's disembodied voice teases, even as high explosive ammuntion pounds her forward gunhouse. The two flak guns fitted on top of it are blown away, their mounts smoldering. However, the main turret has some of the thickest armor on the ship. Craters and dents form, but the weapon continues to rotate, its guns elevating. It's joined by the turret immediately behind it, as well as the remaining aft turret. "You have my respect for not running, but this is the beginning of the end~!" Machine gun fire opens up again in quick bursts, an attempt to herd Sylvie where Kongou wants her by prompting evasion. Once Kongou has the cyborg where she wants her, the entire battleship's arsenal opens up. Not just the machine guns, but the flak guns as well, filling the sky with shrapnel. "Burning LOVE~!" The entire barrage is punctuated by her main battery. This time, the shells fired explode in midair, hurling out dense cones of shrapnel, white-hot thermite, and flaming magnesium rods.
Fuki	Backing up, Fuki pants heavily at the battle, the Shinki moving to kick off the bird after being ravaged in the not so nice way. Parts are hanging off, hair messed up, holes in places... Fuki's not in good shape. At least until she pulls something from behind her. A small icon like thing in the shape of some furry being with a tail. "Welp... time to see how well this pays off!" With a press of both hands to the item, a sudden flash and a furry suit appears around Fuki's body, hiding all but her face. Not unlike a certain Tanuki Suit from a certain Mushroom Kingdom. Fuki gets into a fighting stance, a fist fighting stance to be specific. "See, I have friends in many places..." as the Shinki starts to run towards Kaede, a hop... skip... then a large JUMP to hover over Kaede. "How about this... Tanuki Statue!" And suddenly... FALLING ROCK OF SHINKI!
Kaede	Kaede blinks, then starts laughing at the fuzzy suit. "You look ridiculo--" CRUNCH. Crushed under sudden statue. One leg sheers clean off at the knee joint, the other compresses and shatters. Torso dents and rends horrifically.. but what's left of Kaede drags herself from under the rocky statue. "... Not yet... I'M NOT DONE YET!" she cries, snagging one of the trundling drones and pulling herself up onto it. She then whistles loudly, and a distant BLEAT replies. A... stuffed ram skips merrily into the battlefield, dodging stray shots from Kongou and Sylvie. It spots Kaede and bleats again, coming up beside her so she can mount. Kaede turns the Battle Sheep around, and summons her Quill Bolter again. This time however the barrel has all four of her Wing Blades around the end, turning it into a makeshift lance. "Take this! My Love, my Courage and all my Devotion! BATTLESHEEP, LANCER!"
Sylvie Alenin	"True, they're not! But the armor's similar!" Sylvie responds cheerfully, small bursts of her jump jets taking Sylvie out of the fire range; but they weren't very fine-tuned for evasion, so herding her was fairly easy, and even some of the machinegun bursts struck her shields, most of them bouncing off of them, some penetrating though... dealing more glancing hits. The main guns though, those unleashing upon Sylvie caused all sorts of warnings to pop up on her helmet. -=EVASION IMPOSSIBLE. REINFORCING SHIELD. ENERGY LEVELS AT 60%. SHIELD DEGRADATION AT CRITICAL LEVELS.=- Explosions! So many explosions around Sylvie, and while her shields held up well at first, mitigating some of the initial damage... the sheer amount of thermite, rods, and shrapnel tore through the shields, along with Sylvie's body. The silvery arm was now mangled and hanging limply, and one of Sylvie's jump jets sputtered... much of the synthflesh had been stripped away from her mechanical parts, revealing mangled armor... and cauterized wounds upon the few human parts of Sylvie's body, where thermite had struck, caused wounds, and burned them closed. Fuck. That hurt. "Whoo! Those're some nasty rounds y'have there! Unsurprisin', you ARE a warship, after all~." Sylvie reached up to grab one of the missiles that was sputtering dangerously from her Hellfire cannon, tossing it almost carelessly aside, where it hit the ground uselessly; too damaged for the weapon to discharge. Sylvie rapidly sent herself flying back with her jumpjets, her movements a bit slower. She lifts her mostly-human arm and points it towards Kongou. -=LASER BATTERIES CHARGED.=- The three blue lights in the center of Hellfire Right began to glow, before a sustained blast of plasma was shot down towards the hull of the ship, Sylvie moving to do a sweeping motion to attempt to slag as much of the ship as was possible; but with a brief focus on an area ... attempting to burn a hole through one of the main guns!
Kongou	At first, the sustained laser beam only heats up the exterior of Kongou's armored turret, while the interior is no doubt reloading for another barrage. Machineguns and flak guns continue to fire in sustained bursts, transforming the sky into one enormous hazard. It isn't until the laser is held in place that it starts to have an effect. The turret's face armor glows an angry red, then starts to bend inward until the beam carves right in. The girl's disembodied voice shrieks in surprise and pain when the turret suddenly explodes, blasting out the sides and hurling one of the gun barrels overboard. The other descends swiftly, striking the deck and going immobile. "<Shit!>" she frets, "My precious equipment! I won't forgive you!" However, the gunfire has stopped. Quite abruptly, the battleship disappears in the same silvery light it appeared in. Hurling from the burst of light is the girl herself, her clothes tattered and the freshly damaged turret smoldering. Her left hand is drawn back, fingers tightened into a fist that she brings downward as soon as her flight arc brings her close enough to Sylvie to punch. And if she manages to land it, Kongou grabs at her with her right hand to haul the heavy cyborg overhead, even as gravity starts to take over. This of course puts her in prime position to be shot by every remaining gun emplacement, large and small caliber. "I'm not <Finished> yet! Ready! FIYAH~! FIYAH~! FIYAAAAH~!"
Sylvie Alenin	"Tch, need to retool the output, shouldn't have taken that long to get through anything's armor..." Sylvie mutters as the plasma beam didn't cut through like it was supposed to. In reality, Kongou just had /really tough/ armor compared to what Sylvie was used to, the mechs of her world tending to be more crude and imperfect. Still, it was satisfying to see the main gun explode, one less thing for Sylvie to worry about. "Good! Don't forgive me~. You're my enemy, I'm here to tear bust you apart!" Sylvie calls out with a laugh. And then ... the battleship disappeared. This time, Sylvie was a bit more ready as the young woman came flying at her in tattered clothing. While the punch connected; even penetrated through shield(With a bit of resistance), Sylvie moved quickly, a burst of her jump jets aimed at Kongou's stomach sending her flying out of reach of the grab. "Hahah, nope, not falling for that! S'interestin' fightin' someone who can change so much though!" Sylvie says with a wide grin, before her remaining good arm slipped into the grip of the Breaker Spike, the tip of the spike beginning to retract inside of the rig as plasma began to charge on it. "Don't think yer smaller form'll make me hold back at all though!" Sylvie turned mid-flight, her jump-jets turning off briefly... before bursting again to send the cyborg flying towards Kongou, the arm with the breaker spike held back, ready to 'punch'! "Breaker Spike; Punch Through!" -=BREAKER SPIKE CHARGE COMPLETE.=- Sylvie attempted to send her arm forward towards Kongou, attempting to jam the end of the Breaker Spike's systems towards her. As the systems discharged, the tip of the Breaker Spike suddenly glowed with concentrated plasma, shooting forward at high speeds to attempt to penetrate through the battleship-girl! After a second or two, the plasma would suddenly discharge with a powerful burst; normally designed to utterly destroy shields and armor... against the battleship girl, who knew what it would do! Regardless, during the brief period of time the spike was in Kongou(If it successfully penetrated), the battleship girl might have several key moments to strike the mechbreaker!
Kongou	"Tch..!" A spike aimed at her abdomen causes Kongou to twist as she descends, feet slamming into the dusty desert ground while she is mid-evasion. This puts her off balance such that the spike instead punches into the hull-like section mounted to her back. Drawing back her fist, she readies a punch, though it never carries through. Plasma discharges inside that hull section beneath Kongou's main battery, presumably directly into the magazine that supplies them. Something hisses, a jet of flame shooting out of the hole the spike had created, followed very swiftly by an enormous explosion. Flaming wreckage scatters across the Factory floor, amidst the mangled remains of one gun turret. The blast has thrown Kongou several meters away, landing on her back, sliding, then flipping on a rock and coming to rest face-down. The right side of her Fit Out is completely gone, its mounting point a mess of twisted metal, leaking oil, and flames. Picking herself up with a grown, Kongou mutters something and steps back, dismissing her ruined Land Fit Out. "I underestimated you. That won't happen next time. <Look Forward To It,> okay~?" After just a moment to let that sink in, the shipgirl falls back, joining the evacuating Union regular force.
Fuki	The sound of a Shinki being crushed under rock is satisfying to the Fubuki's ears, unfortunately, she comes out of the stone state at the complete wrong time. She watches the mounted eagle come barreling forward only to take the spear directly into her chest, the outline of her suit pops off and leaves the girl back into her original armor, holes and everything. Fuki grins a bit.. pulling herself onto that makeshift lance some more to get closer and closer to the Rapitas.. "Hello." she responds, a laser rifle coming into view and pressed up against the Rapitas' chest... "And... goodbye."
Kaede	Kaede grins back at the Fubuki. "Hi!" she says, giggling as the barrel gets pressed into the gaping hole in her torso. The one that didn't go all the way through. Well, after that shot, it does now, showing the view through her body. "You're on my gun, that's not nice. Also, say hi to Winston, he doesn't like you~." the ram BLEATS, then CHOMPS onto Fuki's leg, trying to drag her off the gun and slam her viciously into the ground.
Sylvie Alenin	The spike's penetration ... was not entirely where Sylvie wanted it to go, but it worked just as effectively. As the punch was readied, Sylvie had gotten ready to back off as best as she could; but then... the spike did what it was supposed to. That was a relief! Because very little else had. Possibly luckily for Kongou, the blast effected Sylvie as well -- sending her flying back a bit, landing rather hard on her back. By the time Sylvie stood up to continue battle, Kongou had all but disappeared into the evacuating force. Sylvie gave a slow exhale, giving a small nod. "I'll look forward to it, Kongou. Y'have a pretty awesome setup~." Sylvie says cheerfully, as if she hadn't just been ready to turn her into scrap metal. She turned after that, lifting her miniguns to begin to fire towards the Union troops; mostly warning shots to help route them, but also to keep them away from HER as she made her way over to one of the machines in The Factory, reaching to touch it and begin to work on maintaining her battery power until Fuki was either secured, or had secured victory.
Fuki	Fuki grumbles and nods... "Of course... it's also not nice to poke fun at your enemies capabilities or equipment.. It's why I'm not openly laughing at a Battlesheep." she oofs as she's slammed into the ground and bitten, a pop is heard and one of Fuki's arms comes right off.. "Keesha... finish this..." The coeurl's whiskers flare to life once more before letting loose some fire bolts at the Shinki pair, trying to be careful as the bolts hit and explode into a giant fireball.
Kaede	Kaede chuckles. "Aww, c'mon! It was adorable and ridiculo---" suddenly fire. Lots of fire. Winston stands up to it, being made with fire retardant material, but Kaede, damaged as she already is, goes into emergency shutdown as her system overheats. A signal transmits from the shinki, causing the Battlesheep to prance away with its cargo, evacuating the area.
