Oh, how good is it to have old Ruxy back.

He should go play in traffic next. I hear those celestial chariots are hard to dodge.

I mean, look. If you can dodge a car, you can dodge a ballgiant reality warping drill. It's just science.

I'll get a reply for Eos later today or tomorrow, I just have to get some time and, maybe, choose a new song.

[KoL]

By the way, @Ryonara, @Lmpkio, I hope that you guys realized that the Exosuits are combining mecha, instead of regular power armor, right?

[The 42nd Gecko]

So, I wrote up this post, then I realized, if this factory doesn't have a reactor, or, for example, Eos is right next to said reactor, it doesn't make any sense. So, does this post make sense? @TheWindel@KoL

Post

Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie

"... Eeep.." Artoria said as she scuttled a bit backwards. "Yeah! It's totally ready now, yep, I'm off." Artoria's statement was not very reassuring.

Tearing open the fabric of space, Bunny Ears, Fox Tails, Pangolin Claws, and Magpie Wings at the ready, she flashed into the room next to the room with the Gamma suit. With Hibiki distracted by fighting, she wouldn't likely notice Artoria in time, as she both wasn't in the room with the Gamma suit, and rather than try to disengage the security mechanisms, try to wear the suit, or any of that, Artoria simply sucked Gamma and that entire wall between the two rooms into her Gates of Tartarus in a fraction of a second. And once inside the Gates of Tartarus, which had a stasis effect and a dimensional barrier, it would likely be protected it from Hibiki's explosives. Now, the suit was still rigged with explosives (even if prevented from exploding while within the Gates of Tartarus), so Artoria couldn't use it, but neither could anyone else unless they could reach into Artoria's Gates of Tartarus. @Ryonara

Then, she teleported to the reactor room, which was no doubt heavily guarded. It was not exactly heavily guarded against "Deluge of Supercharged hell lava", as it seemed all of the Machina heavy hitters were fighting on the factory floor or outside. Artoria surrounded herself with outward facing gates, sending hundreds of tons of superheated demonic lava with evil Valkyrie fire everywhere. By gathering up demonic lava that was already tainted, then charging it further with Ira's Black Flame and Mephila's pyrokinesis, then storing it in the stasis of Gates of Tartarus, Artoria had a rather potent combined charge up attack that she could store up massive quantities of. She had been doing this, poking her wingtips and tailtips through portals, while lounging in the throne room.

Her goal was to wash away all resistance, and all controls by which the Machina could interfere with the next part of her plan, as well as set a trap for any who would come and try to stop her next, what with the room being a sea of evil lava. Now, all that was left to do was to send demonic energy straight into the reactor to attempt to corrupt the entire facility at once. Unfortunately, this probably meant Artoria was going to be in a direct contest of power with Eos which was something she really didn't know whether she could do. She had wanted to charge up a lot more demonic energy, but... Waiting around next to Lucille seemed like a terrible plan. So, with Ira's wings upon her back, she placed her hand upon the reactor, and gave it everything she got.

Ooops, sorry for the unnecessary mention, Ryonara.

[Flamelord]

I would like to take this moment to say 'I told you so," with regards to how the Machina would lose this fight.

@KoL@The 42nd Gecko@TheWindel

Rather then scream like a deranged fairy hunting teacher, I'll say I like the plan and leave my rambling about portals for a later update. :3

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Flamelord Eh, for all we know, the next thing to happen is "Eos bitchslaps Artoria in the power struggle and takes over her body with nanomachines or the power of song".

@Lonewolf685

What, like how surprising it is that the areas of the factory critical for operations don't have teleportation/portal blockers covering them? Or just general physics stuff :P

[Lonewolf685]

@Flamelord

Trust me, I am cramming them in the future even if I have to make a character solely for nullified bubbles. PORTALS! * runs off chasing portals with a butterfly net and harassing Timmy Turner*

[Lucius Cypher]

Could always mass produce Endian's Teleportation Interjectors. Considering that many of the machina defeats by demons largely consist of "and then the demons teleported inside", I'm surprised that's not already a thing.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lucius Cypher You forgot the other half of Machina losses, "And then Victoire's roses killed everyone." but the Machina have yet to deploy any herbicides.

[Flamelord]

So @Banana, is Eve still holding on to the lance at this point? It wasn't quite clear in your post.

[Lmpkio]

By the way, @Ryonara, @Lmpkio, I hope that you guys realized that the Exosuits are combining mecha, instead of regular power armor, right?

@KoL

Will keep that in mind. (I got out of taking the SAT and I'm at a friend's house so I will post when I get back).

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

There is no reactor in the factory as it is being powered by Eos at the moment; much like the majority of the Machina fighting. As for Artoria teleporting into the heart of the base; I'm willing to overlook that provided the angry blue Beastkin intercepts her. As another point of notice, the Gamma suit she sucked into her Gates will start damaging and destroying stuff in her Gates. Keep that in mind.

As a note to everyone else, the Machina that were already corrupted in KoL's initial post starting the battle are not spies and do not have access to the factory's systems. This means Demon Players can't use them to hack the base.

@TheWindel

A. You want Ruxen to tag along on my port? Sure.
B. The Gamma suit destroys stuff? I'm not sure how seeing time doesn't pass inside the Gates of Tartarus, but sure, no problem. I'm 100% fine with that.
C. Well, it's going to be really hard for the corrupted machina to do anything seeing they were rendered to ash before anyone got a chance to post.

@The 42nd Gecko

Eos didn't destroy all of them. I never said she did so on any of my posts. Just that she attacked them.
