Check around, see if there are anymore notable prisoners aside from Yuna and Ultimecia. We should try and free everyone who doesn't belong here. And Ultimecia, seeing as we can't leave her here if we want to try and fix FF8 world.

>>21522310
Have a member of the Medical Team get in there to go over Yuna.

Engineering Team, set up more of the disruptor turrets so that if any enemy patrols try to come here, they're in for a world of hurt.

White Mages, finish reviving everyone.

Char, you should probably park the Gaia Gear for this.
Aurors, Shamans, Mages, Psions. Use Char's residual link with Gondegal and see if you can find any trace of our ghostly paladin.

Okay, VP-98. Activate your user interface please.

"Yuna, wake up. We're aware you're groggy and probably in a lot of pain; but we're here to rescue you. Probably a stupid question, but can you walk? If not, tell us and we'll divert some friendlies to your location to help move you."

Alright, folks; eyes sharp. Watch your lines, sweep your flanks, and stay ready. We don't need ANY more surprises. I've had enough of this world's bullshit.

Ultimecia is to NOT be roused if at a ll possible. We don't need that headache.

I believe we decided to call our new X-COM NOVA Hero Marc Lecointe.
Possible skills are:
Sky Ranger - There's a reason why Marc Leocointe was one of the few NOVA survivors in Dystopia, his combat and marcsmenship skills were among the highest in the world.

Terror From The Deep - When deep ones and lobstermen rose from the seas, They ran from Him. When slaying an enemy and snapping an appropriate quip, enemies besides those with unbreakable morale (even then its a tossup) test or break.

Who Dares - Alternatively known as "Knock Knock - It's Motherfucking X-COM" - Marc has done some of the craziest things ever attempted by any X-COM soldier, from either X-COM agency, and lived to tell the tale. The Command Crew can send this soldier to do the impossible, and the crazier it is, the likelier it is to succeed and for Marc to survive. Even if it is with critical plasma burns over 80% of his body.
Sort of an X-COM version of Spike's "How Many Pints of Blood Do You Have?"

You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry - Where most mental defenses falter in the face of pain and injury, Marc's defenses only get stronger the angrier he becomes, and he can get quite angry when he's been injured.
Marc's Psi Resistance approaches infinity, and psychics will feel like they're slamming their minds against an adamantium wall when they try to attack his psyche.

X-com precognition. - Whenever we fumble when using a group of X-commies, we can reload and go back a turn

Hidden Movement: give him a bonus when he's being a sneaky bastard.

No matter how nasty you think they are, I'm worse: Marc gets good leadership qualities which can allow him to rally a squad in almost any situation

I'd like to put going to this Meta-aware Shin-Ra's canon and welcoming them to the neighborhood, giving them some general starter goodies, and making official friendship with them. It'll also buy us time to finish repairs and get our shit together while Sylphie looks for Yellowman for us.

Hidden Movement needs to be expanded and say:
"Due to his lengthy service, Marc receives a bonus whenever he tries to do something sneaky; whether it's slipping past enemy patrols and surveillance equipment, or doing something downright bastardly that David Stirling would approve of, Marc can get it done.

"There was a girl, but..." Yuna chokes up a little, then shakes her head. "I... I don't know much. They kept me in here except when they wanted to..." Yuna stops again. "You have to destroy him."

A few of the other cells contain women in them, but no one you recognize.

>>21523000

Her mind should still be active right?

Can our pscions speak to her while she is still in stasis?

>>21523000
"Don't worry, we're way ahead of you on that front."

>>21523000
Looks like we're going to have to hit him with a <True Resurrection> when we get back to the ship. We'll have him back, but he'll just be an awesome paladin instead of a ghost like right now.

I suppose we could try to recruit Mamoru to replace the "Ghost Warrior" position on our crew.

>>21523000
Not being able to contact Gondegal right now isn't too surprising, considering the fact that metaphysical shockwaves are probably raging across this canon's higher planes due to the fight against Chaosbringer's essence. We'll try again once Avatar and Tsunami roflstomp the fuck.

Check those women for batshit craziness or corruption. If they're clean, bring them with.

Yeah.. Those wards. Too bad we don't have our full magic team here or we could try something crazy.

>>21523000
Alright, before we get Ultimecia out of her cell, we'll need to reinforce the sleep spell on her.
Can the Abjurers make Spellcraft checks to determine what the wards are doing? What are they for?

>Gondegal not found
Dammit, we'll need Vitun to use a Miracle, and have Cheryl use her demigoddess powers to try to bring him back.

>Yuna
"Oh, be assured, he will be destroyed. Now, one of the doctors will see to you."
Rodger Young, can you beam in a blanket and some clothes for Yuna?

Alright, we don't know who these other women are. Let's be careful.
Hologram Engineers, set up disruptor turrets along the hallway and in the entrance to the cellblock.

Security Holograms, take positions around the cells with prisoners.

VP-99, upload the faces of the women to the Storm.
ANON, run all of the faces through our database; are there any matches?
Aurors, Mages, check for magic from any of the women.

>>21523078
He might not particularly want to come back.
Probably living it up in one of the outer planes, since he was sent to an underworld.
But if we want ghosts so badly, we could have Vitun cast

Proper State
Necromancy [Ectomancy]
Level: Clr 4, Ghost 4
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One willing incorporeal undead
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You transform a willing incorporeal undead creature into a ghost. If its previous class and level are unknown, it becomes a ghost of the same race as you, with warrior levels equal to its undead Hit Dice. If the undead’s previous race, class, and level were known (such as if the undead were a former ally that became the spawn of a shadow), it becomes a ghost of its former self. In any case, the creature’s character level is no greater than the Hit Dice it had as an undead. For example, a 5th-level dwarf fighter that became a shadow’s spawn and was turned into a ghost with this spell would now be a 2nd-level fighter. Levels lost in this manner are handled as if the character had lost levels from an undead’s energy drain attack.
A creature redeemed with this spell retains the alignment it had as an undead creature, although it is not strongly attached to that alignment and can change it over time or with the aid of an atonement spell.
Because only humanoids can become ghosts, this spell works only on incorporeal undead that are vaguely humanoid. For example, it cannot convert a spectral steed (a horselike undead), a nightwing nightshade (a batlike creature), a nightwalker nightshade (a giantlike creature), or a nightcrawler (a wormlike creature) into a ghost.

One of your 'Commers talks with the women. They claim that the corruption didn't quite take with them. Chaosbringer had them brought here so he could experiment on them and see just what allowed them to resist. There used to be a lot more of them.

There is a loud clatter, the sound of many armored footsteps coming towards the dungeon.

"Ultimecia. You were taken from your home and put to sleep by Chaosbringer. We are his enemies, as are you. Can we agree to not attack each other?"

>>21523233

We may want to notify her that we have killed most of her captors, but we still need to neutralize the wards. If she can help us out in that regard, that would be muchly appreciated.

Just to make sure, we're contacting Ultimecia because the wards around her are weakening, she's probably going to wake up when we kill Chaosbringer, and there's no guarantee that we'll be able to keep her asleep even in stasis since even when under the effect of an Epic Sleep spell, she's still awake and a stasis pod won't cut it.

Is that right?

>>21523408

I think this is the case. She may also be an important person who can help out the Avatar and Tsumani fight Chaosbringer's spirit.

Do the teleporter shenanigans above.

Have a Psion Telekinetically pull the Lasso of Truth and use it to bind Wonder Woman.

Also, Mikasa creates a dozen TR-116's with Exographic Scanners and Micro-transporter Modules. Al'Kesh 6, beam them to the Breakout Team.

Shadowrunners, grab the TR-116's and use the teleporting bullet function to shoot Wonder Woman from behind; she can only defend against attacks she's aware of, and teleporting bullets aren't something her gauntlets can deflect.

Aurors, hit as many of the enemy as you can with Jelly Leg Jinxes.

Most dodge the shots with impossibly fast reflexes. When they reach the Holograms, they cleave their mobile emitters in two with shining swords and axes. Your forces immediately begin taking losses.

Your Abjurers begin setting Ultimecia free.

Blasterbombs and grenades pound the area, slaying a few Amazons, but the women warriors press on. As your troops open fire, more Amazons fall, not all of them able to dodge or deflect the shots. Archers from behind the melee rank fire a barrage of arrows that go through the heads of the X-COM troops carrying Blaster Bombs, passing through the Power Suits as if it were paper.

Wonder Woman backflips over to the Confederate Marines and before they can draw a bead on her, she has already slain two of them.

The remaining Amazons on the field are wiped out in an instant, as are the vast bulk of your troops. All of your droids, holograms, the White Mages, the Marines, the Shadowrunners, and the Psions are slain by the sheer destructive force behind the spell. Everyone else is heavily wounded.

Something else happens as well. The spell's energy seems to react with something and the ceiling explodes outward, obliterating the upper stories of the palace and exposing the prison cells to open air as three comets of energy slam into the ground. They swiftly resolve themselves into humanoid forms. A ghostly image of Chaosbringer, made up of black energy, the Avatar's ethereal form made up of pure magic, and the form of Tsunami. Chaosbringer is hunched over, wounds in his form pouring out darkness. The Avatar seems to be hurt as well, as well as Tsunami, though her injuries are minor. Ultimecia's eyes shimmer.

"Your supporters on Olympus are gone, your mortal worshipers are slain, and your armies are destroyed," the Avatar states. "Honor demands I ask you to surrender, though Justice reminds me the best I can offer you is a painless end."

"You won't even remember the word 'painless' when I'm through with you two..." Chaosbringer hisses. He punches the ground. "This place is strong with my power... and I have something in store for you..."

"Nothing will save you from me now!" Ultimecia shouts. "It doesn't matter what you have, I'll grind your world to dust for the trouble you've caused me!"

"You've made such statements before and I barely exerted myself on you, witch," Chaosbringer growls. "Tsunami... You should've stayed asleep. What's coming will rend your heart."

Get the teams to safety Now, we need to nannybag everyone, and extracte the wounded and the captives before he can try anything.
Rodger, she leveled the palace, you should be able to start teleporting!

Silly though but if Yuna's dance ceremony can send...

is it possible that if she reverses the movements she can call?

Like call Gondegal?

>>21524922

If we can, we should teleport any remains of the female prisoners left as well.

>>21524874
Wait a minute...this means that the Strike Teams are now available.

Rodger Young, emergency site-to-site transport.
Beam Lyla, Elaine, and White Mage Squad A to the Breakout Team's position.

Lyla, Elaine, and White Mage Squad A; begin immediate Raise 2's on White Mage Squad B, then on the rest of the Breakout Team.

We're also fast running out of time.
Rodger Young, as soon as you finish beaming in the other healers, beam Mihoshi down from the AUH to the Breakout Team's location.

"Detective Kuramitsu, we need you to go in and find Washu's Lab, and free Lord Tenchi and Lady Ayeka. Keep this interplexing beacon with you, it will let us track you. Take these other two, and attach them to Tenchi and Ayeka so that we can find them and get them out. Hurry, you don't have too much time."

>>21524973
We might still have those two Solars around as well.

Should we dispatch the Solars to help out with taking down Chaosbringer? Or should they accompany Mihoshi?

>>21524992
Bring them here, they can cast as well as a cleric of the 30th level so they can throw off a bunch of <Breath of Life>s and help Rez.

Sparks and lightning fly around the portal as a red-haired women in an elaborate dress steps out. Translucent wings emerge from her back and her eyes flash red.

"Sensei..." she says as she looks to Chaosbringer. Tsunami's face tenses.

"Washu... Restored to her power, but not her mind," Tsunami murmurs.

"Can you destroy your sister? I'll enjoy watching," Chaosbringer sneers.

"Tsunami isn't the only one, fighting, have you forgotten?" the Avatar challenges. "Nothing left of your filth will be left to raise. I'll scour your soul from existence with all the might of the Ether!"

VP-98's Seeker Protocols is assuming his core survives. With a 4, it does not. VP-99 on the other hand, can be repaired with minor trouble.

>>21524973
"Right on!" Mihoshi says, grabbing the beacon and running off.

The Avatar sends a powerful blast of energy towards Chaosbringer as Tsunami generates several brilliant strands that wrap around Washu. Chaosbringer deflects the blast with a wall of darkness while Washu slices through the strands with her wings and snaps her fingers, causing a series of deafening explosions around the Avatar and Tsunami. The two are tossed around a bit, but retaliate not at Washu, but at Chaosbringer. Twin beams of light lance through the dark god's chest, causing him to reel back.

Ultimecia begins casting another spell as the other White Mages arrive to begin raising.

Yeah... I don't think she really gives a fuck about collateral damage.
So maybe it would be best to just wait until she's done with whatever.

>>21525326
That should have been done already, after the first fight, as soon as Char broke the anti-teleportation ward.

Now would be a good time to remove and destroy Tranquility from the Obsidian Crystal, thus in theory restoring Usagi's form, power, and mind.
...Any ideas on how we could do that?
Finish killing Chaosbringer and hope that that does it?

Another earthshaking explosion tosses around everything on the battlefield like toy soldiers. The newly raised troops are re-slain in an instant, along with nearly everyone else in the Breakout team. Lyla and Elaine manage to hold on, so do the SCP team in their heavy powered armor. Thanks to the curse laid upon her, Yuna survives despite her flesh being horribly burned and battered by the explosions, and the comatose Wonder Woman does too. Everyone else doesn't make it. The Al'Keshes immediately begin mass teleports for raising the dead, but due to the timing, you already know that some of your troops won't make it.

The three gods and one archsorceress continue to battle, bringing the palace down around them as the last of your men living or dead get off the field.

BLU Team, will just respawn, so they're fine.

Lyla, Elaine, once they rematerialize, are to begin Raising the White Mages as first priority. As White Mages are Raised, they are to Raise the other members of the Breakout Team.

On our task force, get everyone who's dead into regeneration tanks, nannybags, and stasis pods to await Raising by the White Mages.

Dr. Lazarus to coordinate, and get assistance from the medical teams and Emergency Medical Holograms.

Since the prisoners were already being escorted down the tunnel that Char created when the Amazons attacked, they should be safe.

Rodger Young and Al'Kesh 6, fly up into low orbit to get away from the battlefield.

Someone get the cores of VP-98 and 99 down to the Advanced Engineering Bay of the Storm.

SCP Team, get Wonder Woman down to Containment until the Lasso finishes untwisting her mind.

>>21525770
Check back. We already said to have Seifer, Fujin, and the other corrupted characters beamed up into containment in the last thread, and MetaOP was confirming it.

So where's Cheryl now?
Maybe she can provide an extra boost to helping Wonder Woman break free of whatever?

Welp. What can we do to help out a battle amongst several full-powered deities? Our heroes may be strong enough to go toe-to-toe with some D&D deities, but they were hard-pressed to take care of Chaosbringer's mortal form.

Unless we have other deity-level allies whom we have yet to call upon who can help us.

>>21525861
Cheryl's still in Rome, as are the rest of the Strike Teams.

We could do that as the next action.
But we still need to be on the lookout for when Mihoshi breaks into Washu's Lab.

>>21525822
In addition, have the Escort Squadron, Char, and the Mikasa get over to MechaGodzilla, where they can watch the battle from a safe distance.

Have the Indefatigable track Mihoshi's interplexing beacon, and watch for when it enters a subspace threshold.

>>21525886
Once we have responce teams heal or resurrected, we can put together a strike force to seperate Wushu from Chaosbringer, letting the other three focus on his.
We'll also need fast moving heal-teams to pop in to heal The avatar and then quickly jump out before they're attacked or hit by 'friendly' Fire.

>>21525886
See if Douglas sees any mysterious doors anywhere with which he can chat with Igor?

Raising commences, but unfortunately, Lyla and Elaine only manage to bring back White Mage Squad A before the time limit on Raising occurs.

Prepare plans to True Resurrect them, and for mining the SHIT out of this world to get the diamonds we need.

That's still 6 nannybags destroyed, though.

What about their Economizers? Those have been recovered, right?

>>21525974
Looks like we've another task for our Looter team.
Maybe we should set some of our more human teams into our 'Looter' branch, the TG squad guys and the Zombie Hunters, the metfarm security team.

>>21525974
Damnit. Okay, keep an eye on the situation between CB/Washu and Avatar/Tsunami/Ultimecia. If they need assistance, we will lend it, otherwise I suggest we stay out of this fight. Get all Reconstructive troops into tanks, and take DNA samples for those who must be cloned which will be completed as soon as possible.

We need to assign a guard detail to Wonder Woman. I know she's got her own Lasso around her, but who knows how she'll react once she's done sorting through her own memories.

And for gods sake, has Mihoshi already been inserted into Washu's lab?

What about the rest of the equipment that the Breakout Team had with them? Do they still have those modified network taps? Or will we need to replicate new ones?

>>21526210
Using the interplexing beacon, does the Indefatigable and the Rodger Young believe they can beam directly into the subspace lab?
Or will we need to first beam to outside the lab, then go through the door?

"Detective Kuramitsu, we're tracking your entrance in Washu's Lab. Please make haste to recover Tenchi and Ayeka, but try to do so without arousing any security. If need be we can send in reinforcements, but it will likely be difficult and many of our troops are fighting other battles. Be careful."

If we can, drag Elaine away from Raising detail with us when we go to check on Yuna and Wonder Woman.

"Data, replicate the network taps that we originally had on the Breakout Team; they're equipped with subspace communicators, so we can still beam them in and use them to take control of Washu's Lab, especially since she isn't here to defend it, and Mihoshi is going to be messing with the security system.

Rodger Young, keep an eye on that beacon, two more should show up when Mihoshi finds Tenchi and Ayeka.

Mouse, is the Hacker Team ready? We may have a job for you.

>>21526387
"Here, boss. Whatcha need?"

Yuna is sleeping soundly. Wonder Woman is awake and alert, but still bound by her lasso.

>>21526376
I'm going to bet she makes it all the way to Tenchi and Ayeka when suddenly she trips security. And good call on checking on C, L, and E. They're probably really tired right now. I agree on having Elaine act as counselor to Yuna and WW. Hopefully she could heal their psychological trauma, as well.

>>21526387
Good idea. Also, has there been any word on the location of General Yami? I thought we were looking for him.

>>21526450
See what Yuna has plenty of food and water. Get me her medical results, what was the damage here?

"Diana, can you hear me?"

>>21526450
Awake and alert eh?
"Good to see you're still alive, Princess Diana of Themysceria.
Still think Chaosbringer is someone worth following?"

>>21526450
We might be able to get your team access into Washu's systems in her lab. If so, we'll need you to take control, disable security, and keep any forces on the inside out of Mihoshi's way. Also, you'll need to keep system's near Mihoshi's position on their simplest- actually, just let her straight through. Don't let her touch anything she doesn't have to.

Send Elaine to Yuna and Diana as soon as she's available.

"Cheryl, Elaine, I know that you two must be tired beyond belief, but we need you to go down to Containment, and see if Chaosbringer's hold on Wonder Woman's mind is still there."

"Indefatigable, I want you to scan the planet's comm-net. Find any mention of General Yami, and Anzu Mazaki. We need you to find them, and if you can get a lock on Mazaki, beam her to safety."

>>21526491
Let's not attack her ego any further. Considering her morals, and what she's been forced to take part in, I think that's all the punishment she needs.

Still need to see if Data has come through with replicating those modified network taps. Once they're replicated, we can beam them in and attach them to equipment in Washu's Lab. Since everything there is networked, we only need to get it attached to one thing.

If Wonder Woman also knows of any cosmic-level help that she could enlist to help our buddies fight off that dark abomination-of-a-god down below, that would be very awesome.

That's pretty much the only reason the Spectre exists, but he's probably back in whatever canon Diana came from.

>>21526711
Or dead in whatever canon Diana came from. Since Olympus exists here though, maybe she was from this world?

>>21526711

The Spectre would be pretty awesome here, but with Crispus Allen as a host, he might just as soon turn on Ultemecia and perhaps some of our less than perfect task force personnel after he was done cleaning Chaosbringer's clock. If it was Jim Corrigan, that would be just the thing we need.

Wonder Woman doesn't respond at first, but stands. "What do you want?"

Well, that battle on the planet below raged for a long time by the standards of the Task Force, but it weren't nothing but a blink of an eye to types like gods. That Ultimecia, she tosses around those Apocalypse and Hell's Judgment spells like they're going out of style.

The others are more subtle. Avatar leads off with a few energy blasts, but then he starts weaving the threads of mana around the battlefield, cutting off the flow of energy to Washu and Chaosbringer, trying to subtly alter reality in ways that expose their weaknesses, redirecting the flow of primal essence from other worlds, the sun, the earth itself to keep himself and Tsumani going strong despite the beating they take. Tsunami is on the defensive for most of the battle, but her attacks are of a different nature. She tries to worm her way into Washu's mind, tries to find whatever Chaosbringer did to twist her and repair it. It don't work, though.

Meantime, Chaosbringer's summoning demons and trying to melt away the Avatar and Tsunami with darkness or the like. His spells don't work so well on multidimensional beings, though. Washu is more effective, but Tsunami's taking the heat from her for the time being.

Halfway through Ultimecia wises up and starts casting Holy on Chaosbringer, but that still wasn't her worst mistake. She got so consumed with thoughts of vengeance, left herself right open to a devastating double attack by Chaosbringer and Washu. Washu used those light wings of hers to cut apart her limbs, Chaosbringer summoned an oozing darkness to consume them into oblivion. And so passed the great sorceress.

She served her purpose, though. Weakened the two of them, distracted them. Made them stop attacking Avatar and Tsunami long enough to get some breathin' room for 'em.

Hal Jordan-Spectre is kind of a wuss, relatively speaking, but it would probably be the safest option. Jim Corrigan had very firm control over the Spectre, and faced down a lot of divine-level threats while still retaining his humanity while the Spectre grew wiser.

It ain't pretty, but while Chaosbringer was busying himself with Ultimecia, the Avatar manages to slip in under his defenses.

"Beings like you don't deserve even this foul magic!" he says. Then he jams one of his blazing hands into Chaosbringer's chest, the place where his heart should be.

The Titan of Ether can pull a lot of stunts with magic even Mystra or them three moon gods the Krynnish worship might get a little jealous of. This is one of them. The Avatar reaches into Chaosbringer, locates the focal point for his essence, and grabs... Well, I guess you might think of it as a loose string. He grabs that string and PULLS, unraveling his essence, stripping away every last nugget of magic from that monster. Chaosbringer starts coming apart like the Calamity itself was hitting him. He don't go quietly though. Chaosbringer, he takes his hand and tries to plunge it into the Avatar, but he ain't having any of that.

A fiery barrier of raw Virtue springs up between the two, burning away the dark hand and keeping it away. It takes effort, though. A lot of it. The Avatar puts every last bit of his strength into that barrier and as Chaosbringer's magic leaves him, throws it forward, enveloping the dark god and crushing him in its blaze. The white inferno swallows him whole, his last words not even a curse, but a shriek of impossible pain as the cloud of fire contracts until it's smaller than a pinprick of pure light. Then it vanishes, taking the darkness with it.

The Avatar collapses, his energy near completely drained. Vanishes from sight shortly after.

>>21526823

>WW

The quick of it is that we want to repair this world back to its natural, normal state. Before Chaosbringer came here and corrupted a noble soul into the twisted monster you knew as Queen Ecstacy. His reach extends far beyond this world and has corrupted many others.

Defeating Chaosbringer here is the key to this plan. Once he is defeated, we can work on restoring these worlds, curing all the people whom he has corrupted, and returning them to their homes.

To Avatar (if we can contact him): Well done. Rest easy.

Either the fabric of this place is starting to unravel, or the Great Crusade has arrived.

Al'Kesh 1, 2, and 3. Beam up EVA-00, 01, and 02 into the All Under Heaven's docking bays, the big ones meant for mooring capital ships.

If the Solars are still here, ask them politely if they can assist Tsunami.

>>21527069
We need info on these distortions, now. See if any of our forces are nearby one and contact them to see what's going on.

Also...I think we're about to see Tsunami's Final Smash.

>>21527069
Come on, Data, come through for us and have those network taps ready. We need to be able to get our network equipment into that lab and begin suborning it.

"He is not dead, I do not think. Probably just retreated to his den to lick his wounds," Okku rumbles. "I wish you'd have let me fight with him. I longed to put that scum's neck between my jaws."

"Okku's right," Cheryl says. "Or... at least, I hope he is."

>>21527069
"Dr. Spengler, Dr. Cossack, Dr. Solus, please analyze the space-time distortions. Are they indicative of Meta-Transit technology?"

>>21527093
I had almost forgotten about the Evas. Good call, hopefully we can either restore Shinji and Asuka or find suitable pilots. Thinking about it now, we should see if any other Evangelion characters are present on this planet.

>>21527128
"We are sorry, Okku. According to our information, there's still the corrupted Ryoko, and that scum's daughter around.
"We could not afford to risk them outflanking us."

Speaking of which:
"All Under Heaven, scan the planet for a reality distortion with a frequency similar to Chaosbringer's. His daughter may still be around, and we're going to kill that little monster as soon as we find her."

>>21527121
Contact Mihoshi as well, get an update on her status.

>>21527153
I don't think Shinji's around.
I'd wager Yui Ikari as corrupted and enlisted directly.

"Powers beyond the gods? Just a man in a cheap suit. I've reports from the front, Chaosbringer is dead, beyond that, he is unraveled, unmade.

"They are," Egon states.

"I estimate we have only a few minutes before the large scale gates open. Smaller craft will be arriving any moment," Dr. Cossack says.

Yui Ikari? Shinji's mother? But that's impossible, she has to be dead for Unit 01 to exist.

>>21527190
You know what her idea of 'fun' was? Dragging Chibi Usa to a demon, and having her limbs ripped off and eaten.
Or having her gang-raped by cyclopses.

That little shit is going to BURN when we find her.

>>21527200
Find Strider Hiryu.

Task Force, we've got incoming ships, Likely hostile, Yellow Alert.
Command Crew, prepare to hail the smaller ships, we cant let them level this planet either.

>>21527200
Damnit, it's the Crusade. I don't think we can fight them, not in the shape we're in. I think we need Tsunami's boon. But what should we ask of her? Restore our forces? Keep the portals from opening? And will this boon keep her from stopping Washu?

To Diana: "I am so sorry, Diana. We will do whatever we can to set things right. But things are looking grim. Are there any powerful forces you know of that could help us?"

>>21527255
But would her Ego even remain? I mean, her soul is supposed to be in there but I don't think we've ever been given any indication that anything besides an animalistic motherly protection-type personality resides in Unit 01.

Do you guys think there's any chance we can talk them down? I mean, it is the Crusade we're talking about, but they're not crazy. At least, not in that way.

>>21527200
Hey guys what are we going to say to the crusade when they get here?

I'm, thinking some thing like; "Greetings Unknowns we are in the middle of operations here. Pleases identify your selves and identify your goals here or give us a connection to your leaders so that we may speak directly."

What I want to do is to appear in control and some one nto to be messed with (to stop the hot heads) but also reasonable to give us an in for diplomacy.

>>21527263

If the Crusade was powerful enough to deal with Chaosbringer on their own accord (as implied by the G-man), then Tsunami may not be able to hold them for long. Certainly not when she's trying her best to defend against a corrupted Washu's attacks while trying to cure her.

They're probably coming here to investigate just what made that huge reality distortion signature disappear. Judgement of this world may happen not long after they arrive.

>>21527289
The Greek gods are usually dicks to varying degrees.
That's a universal truth.
Although if this is a DC Earth, I wonder where the heavy hitters like the Spectre, Doctor Fate, Phantom Stranger etc are.

>>21527311
Also don't mention that we are the transpace guard till we have enough time to explain about the rogue black-ops.

"He... he's dead?" Diana asks, hopefully. "Truly?"

The Heaven manages to locate a similar signature in the Palace, in a protected sub-basement that escaped the flattening.

"They didn't help Earth when half its people were slaughtered. I don't see why they'd be better for you."

>>21527289
"I'm not sure they'd do either at this point."

Data reports in. "I've managed to replicate a few more of the network taps. They are ready when you need them."

The Farseers attempt to locate your quarry.

>>21527317

It might be possible that Chaosbringer didn't corrupt just one reality. Given how powerful he was as a SUE, he could have cut-and-pasted portions of select canons into one patchwork canon. The Transspace Guard may have put the quarantine frame up in this space because they didn't know how to fix this unintelligible mess of canons and didn't have the resources to deal with Chaosbringer.

>>21527317
That's a very good point. And what about the Lantern Corps (plural, i.e. Green, Yellow, etc.) and other powerful entities? Why haven't they stepped in?

>>21527326
Oh crap. They'll want our heads decorating their mess hall.

>>21527341
"The General and his Lady hide in an abandoned fortress beneath the city, the last of his power dedicated to keeping her safe and out of sight from the ravening ghosts," the Farseers proclaim.

>>21527341
"Yes. Dont worry, He Suffered."
This kids a powerful little welp, Cheryl? Are you ready to rip the head off his Daughter?
"We could always dangle some dirty little secret that Zeus is hiding from Hera."

>>21527341
>Data comes through for us
Fuck yes!

Rodger Young, get a lock on those network taps.

Okay, get a group of Security Holograms ready, and beam them and the network taps into the tap, using Mihoshi's interplexing beacon as a destination.

Security Holograms, your one goal is to attach and activate the network taps to any piece of equipment you can. Washu's entire lab is networked together, just one should be enough.

Mouse, get your team ready, and begin the attack as soon as a network tap goes online.

Spike, Douglas, Tosh. We're going to need you ready for insertion into the lab, just in case.

>>21527394
Can you contact General Yami? Offer him safety for him and his lady.
Rodger Young beam them out if they accept.

>>21527394
Send Atem a message offering our assistance.

>>21527341
"There are powerful forces, both good and evil, who would challenge Chaosbringer's reign. Have they all been destroyed, from Phantom Stranger to Darkseid?"

>>21527341
Thank you, Data. Please assist Mouse and his Hacker team in infiltrating Washu's network once they are installed in the lab. Deploy the taps onto tech nearby Mihoshi. Also ask her how her mission is going.

"Then we won't put our stock in the gods, Diana. But yes, Chaosbringer is dead and gone. We've shed blood to do it, but he will never come back. Unfortunately, a new threat has appeared. We may avoid a battle, but if we do fight, we'd appreciate your help. We can outfit you with some equipment to help you."

>>21527353
So maybe this Earth might not even be in its native time-space? That would explain a few things.

>>21527430
>>21527422

Do we know if they're corrupted or otherwise under compulsion? While Chaosbringer bit the dust, SUE control doesn't necessarily subside right away.

I think highest priority now would be purifying Sailor Moon and hoping her Silver Millennium Bullshit fixes this nightmare.

>>21527434
I don't think we want to ask Darkseid for help. The guy's a monster.

>>21527440
Atem and Paine never were.
They were serving under coercion.

>>21527341
>>21527422
>Aeris, Chaosbringer's daughter, found
I'd prefer to just glass the palace, but that might not be enough.

"Cheryl, Okku, Vitun, Aeshma. Are you feeling up for a fight? We found what we think to be the SUE's daughter. Amazing that she still has power even though the SUE is dead. We may need you to go in and kill her. Don't let her young appearance fool you; if you need any confirmation of the need to terminate her, look into my mind and see what she has done."

>>21527440
I've read the story, and Paine and Yami were coerced and blackmailed into working for Chaosbringer. They were never corrupted. They hate him, and would have killed him, given the chance.

>>21527462
Well no, I'm just hoping that, after noticing Chaosbringer has died, he doesn't decide now's a dandy time to crush all free will.

>>21527456
>soul ripped out by husband and personally brought to hell

Yeah, fat chance of purifying Moon.

>>21527456
I don't think even the Silver Crystal could save us right now...unless...I know this is going to sound crazy, but what if we combined it with the Hylian Jewels? Could we somehow create a super-empowered spell, or something like that?

>>21527435

If our motley crew was able to defeat Chaosbringer and his essence, I think that the whole DCU (heroes and villains) standing against him could have made great headway. A simpler explanation is that Wonder Woman and the rest of the characters here have simply been brainwashed and/or had their memories altered.

"I don't recognize those names, but if you need me to fight, I will. If nothing else for the debt I now owe you," Diana says, crossing her arms. "Though I must ask... what of my handmaidens and bodyguard?"

>>21527510
Well, we'd have to go get them and take them from the Hylian gods, which would probably be a bit out of our way, sooooo. . .

No.

>>21527517
I apologize Diana, but they are currently dead due to the fight between the Essence of Chaosbringer and several others. We'll bring them back as soon as we can, if we can.

>handmaidens and bodyguard
"We can try to teleport them to safety, but with the battle between the gods that just happened, I don't know if they're still alive. Can you tell us where they were, and who? We can attempt to rescue them."

>>21527517
First of all: I chuckled heartily at that reaction. Blow her apart, Cheryl.

Second of all: Where are they located, Diana? If we can save them like we saved you, we'll do our best.

>>21527545
My mistake. I was away from the quest when that happened. Scrap my suggestion.

>>21527501

Sorry you had to read that Cheryl.

"If you speak of the ones who joined the battle with you, they're dead. You were the only one we were able to pinpoint, disable, and extract before... Well everything went up and five great powers clashed. If you have any other allies, comrades, people you believe redeemable or able to be saved, Write it up and pass it to someone, we'll see what we can do."

Well since we know the crusade is coming I want to be ready incase talks go sour. To do this I want: An list of our assets is this cannon and how quickly we could evacuate them. Also a list of potential and damaged assets and how quickly we could recruit/recover them.

Whats the state of mechagodzilla?

Hey whats the state of Tosh? Because I was wondering if he could setup communication with the ghosts to see how many we can recruit.

Related hows the ghost army doing?

Your hackers manage to get a foothold in Washu's lab, but it's a chancy thing. They manage to activate a few programs that should make things easier for Mihoshi, namely a regeneration program to heal up Tenchi so he can be safely let out of his tank without dying.

Your comm/scan techs bombard the general area the Farseers indicate with offers of safety and receive a garbled and weak reply with a set of coordinates.

Mechagodzilla has suffered severe damage, but nothing a few days in the repair bay won't fix.

The Ghost Army is surprisingly depleted in numbers. Between general resistance and a handful of elite ghost hunters, they seem to have been winnowed them down from 3.5 billion to 3 billion. However, it is still only a matter of time before they wipe out anyone holding a weapon.
