SpoilerFrom Phase 48 Wrote:At least, not until he felt a flash cross his senses, accompanied by a
red light warning to raise his shield into position, deflecting the
powerful beam blast. Leon's eyes narrowed as a white M3 in mobile armor
form charged at him, readying to fire again. He attempted to evade, but
all three shots found their mark, forcing him to defend himself with the
beam armor.
"Yeesh, guess I just lucked out with that other
machine," said Leon, firing a barrage of Firefly missiles at the M3,
only to watch the mobile armor weave through it like a bird. His eyes
widened, and he guided the missiles back around, though several wound up
striking debris or other mobile suits, and attempted to strike his foe
again, only this time, the pilot shifted to mobile suit mode for half a
second, flipping about, shifted to mobile armor mode, and gunned down
all of the missiles before shifting to mobile suit mode again and firing
on him with the rifle.
Leon defended with his shield, eyes
narrowing as he saw the rifle was held in the machine's left hand.
Deciding not to move to close range just yet, he switched his sword out
for his own rifle and opened fire. The M3 skillfully evaded his shots
before returning fire, Leon sideslipping the blast, but still getting
grazed, eyes narrowing further.
"This guy's good," he murmured,
firing one last shot, only to see the M3 block with its shield. "Fine."
He switched back to his Tempest beam sword before charging in.
His
opponent shot off two more shots, first a standard rifle blast, then a
wide-angle blast more befitting a beam cannon. Leon somehow dodged the
first, but had to bleed off some of the power from the second with his
shield, allowing him to get by with only superficial damage.
Then
he was in melee range. He swung his Tempest, and nearly cursed when the
rifle smacked up against the flat of the blade and pushed him away, the
rifle only minimally harmed by the beams.
Annoyed, Leon swapped
his sword out for a Vajra beam saber and charged back in, but his
opponent had taken the opportunity to switch over to a saber as well,
and the two plasma blades locked.
Leon attempted to angle his
Draupnir to fire on the opponent, but somehow, the M3 pilot beat him to
it, and a grenade smashed into the Valiant's face, knocking him back and
giving the edge to his opponent.
"Okay... he's really good,"
muttered Leon, swiftly pulling back and firing a barrage of missiles.
"This might've been fun... but I don't have time to waste on you."
With
that, Leon withdrew from the fight against the M3 as it destroyed his
missiles; the pilot would've pursued, but got attacked by a pair of
Windams, though they were swiftly dispatched.
Then, a white and blue-black M3 with cross-shaped decals pulled along next to its wingman.
"Geez, Nanoha, don't run off like that!" groaned Hayate. "You know I'm a total klutz at aiming."
"Yeah... sorry Hayate," said Nanoha, staring off in the general direction the Valiant had gone.
From Phase 49 Wrote:Kira recalled his DRAGOONs and turned to leave when he was suddenly
swarmed by ZAKUs, GOUFs, Dagger Ls and Windams, the Messiah and Daedalus
forces setting aside their own fights to try and bring down the White
Angel.
"Damn!"
The Strike Freedom began dancing through
their fire, but the pilots maintained their tight control. He couldn't
even track how many of them there were. He tried snapping into attack
position, but his danger senses warned him of an attack from behind. He
fired while on the move, but his opponents were also keeping largely on
the move, and balancing speed and mobility. Well, if they were smart
enough to gang up on him, they'd logically be smart enough to handle
evasion properly in such a situation. Kira was dodging so many attacks
that he couldn't even compensate.
"You too Kira?" came Makoto's voice lightly. He quickly located the Serenity and saw that Makoto was in much the same position.
"How
many?" he asked, voice equally light as he blocked with his beam shield
and returned fire, this time catching his target right above the
cockpit.
"Oh, you know, a hundred here, a hundred there, I lose track somewhere past the first seventy or so," replied Makoto. "Kira... "
"Yeah... "
Spreading
their wings, the two Angels altered course, quickly bringing them
together, almost back-to-back. The eyes of all their assailants widened
simultaneously.
"SHIT!"
"Oh crap, oh crap, oh CRAP!"
"Mother FUC–"
That was all they managed to get out.
The
Strike Freedom and Dauntless Faith, the Devotion and Serenity, snapped
into firing position, covering one another's backs, rifle in each hand,
railguns in attack position, all twenty DRAGOONs deployed.
Spinning back-to-back, they opened up repeatedly.
More
beams than could be counted lit up space, followed seconds later by a
dozen explosions, then a dozen more, and continuing on until the enemy
completely broke apart, fleeing the titanic might of the Angels united.
The two recalled their DRAGOONs, and the Serenity grabbed the Freedom's wrist.
"Let's go Kira," she said, giving him a soft smile as she spread her wings and shot off towards the Eternal, slamming both of them into their seats as they trailed afterimages.
From Phase 50 Wrote:Messiah
The fortress rocked around them as Kira and
Makoto each drew one of the Serenity's Angelus mega swords before
combining them, each with a single hand on the handle while they
supported each other and input the modifications for their attack.
I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
"These maps should be helpful," commented Makoto. "Ready Kira?"
"Ready," replied Kira.
"Here goes," they whispered in unison.
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you?
Then,
the White Angel of Freedom and the Dauntless Angel of Faith tightened
their grip on the Caelum Angelus... and ignited the Vesica Caelum at full
power, the strongest mobile suit weapon in existence, if only for that
brief moment when it was wielded by the Strike Freedom and Dauntless
Faith as one.
The Eternal
Cries of shock and awe filled the comm. lines as eyes widened in all directions at the sight before them.
I'm not going 'cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you, let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
A
beam blasted out of Messiah, piercing right through Neo-GENESIS,
obliterating the superweapon completely. The beam dragged itself about
slightly, inflicting more damage before it disappeared, but not before
everyone knew what it was.
It was absurd, of course... but oh, so fitting to the Divine Angels.
We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know
The
beam sword reappeared, this time cutting through Messiah's thrusters.
It only cut two of them, but that was enough to set off a chain reaction
as each thruster detonated one after another. The hearts of many
clenched as the beam sword faded again, leaving them waiting with baited
breath.
Messiah rocked about like it was being struck repeatedly
by the Nephilim. A minute passed. Two. Messiah began to fall towards the
moon.
From Phase 51 Wrote:Shinn was the last of the guests to arrive. He rang the doorbell,
feeling somewhat uncertain about all this. However, the door opened
within a minute, and his eyes widened in surprise at who he saw there.
"N-Nabiki?"
he questioned, shocked. Actually, he almost hadn't recognized her -- he'd
never seen such a drastic change in any person, excepting the Extended,
of course.
What first struck him was just how young she looked; he was used to her seeming closer to the age of Talia than his own, but now her bearing made her look his own age.
That wasn't all of it, either: her features were softer, and her eyes held a light warmth to them he was not accustomed to.
What disturbed him, however, was the French maid outfit she was wearing.
"Ah,
Shinn, you're here," said Nabiki, smiling pleasantly, further pushing
Shinn to believe he was having a bizarre dream. "Come on in. And um...
it's Erica now."
"Uh... o... kay... ?"
Shinn quickly stepped
inside, carefully trying to avoid looking at 'Erica' as he sought out
someone who could explain what was going on.
"Shinn," came
Misuumi's voice, drawing his attention. The Destiny pilot sighed in
relief as he spotted the blonde, rushing over to her.
"What was Nabiki doing at the door?" he questioned, still trying to shake off his shock.
"It's
a long story," said Misuumi. "To keep it short, she's not the Nabiki
you knew anymore, she prefers to go by the name Erica now, she's
completely and totally in love with Makoto and wants to become Makoto's
personal maid."
Shinn swore he heard crickets chirping in the silence.
"I'll give you the long version later."
"I don't even know if I want to hear it," muttered Shinn, rubbing his face.
End of Phase 51 Wrote:Until
then. Once more, thanks to all of you who read and reviewed this story.
As a final gift, I'm going to end this with a preview of what's to
come, just as I did in SEED Dauntless.
