IRC: Rizon Channel: #SHQuestPREVIOUS THREADS: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Summoned%20Hero%20QuestBrunstault, the Dwelling Fox God, stands in the plaza, her tail waving back and forth. Her opponent, A Half-God by the name of Alicia Diever. A serpent floats at her side, just as long as Alicia is tall, and stares intently at Brunstault. It shows its fangs, it moves back and forth, but doesn't attack her. The girl pets her dragonic half and grimaces. "Look at you, the years haven't been kind.""I can say the same for you, Alicia." Brunstault's eyes turn to slits. A deep, unwavering hatred. A prolongued sorrow radiates from the fox's eyes. Alicia smiles wide, the serpent moving away from her to grin just as its human half does."Why did you leave?""Because of your screwed morality and your fucked up father. Isn't that reason enough?""You're the one who has no morals." the dragoness shrugs, throwing Brunstault's little reply away. She chuckles to herself. "Can you not see it?""I can see just fine. It's you who has the problems.. if you're not even going to use those 'thigns' called eyes, why do you have them? Wouldn't it better if I just CLAW THEM OUT?" the fox grits her teeth, extends her claws, her fangs, and gets into her battle stance.>Rush out and tell Brunstault to calm down>Run in and attack Alicia (Roll 1d100)>What to do?
>>20413620>Rush out and tell Brunstault to calm downAlicia be trying to rile her up man.
>>20413620Smack the bitch for messing with OUR bitch.
>>20413620Don't interfere in their fight right now. We're a squishy meat-bag that would get swatted around, and be just a liability for Brunstault. We need to think on this carefully and not charge in half-cocked.
>>20413620>>Rush out and tell Brunstault to calm down"Brunstault, this cunt's trying to gauge you into attacking her, don't in head first!"
>>20413855yup, definitely sounds like us.Seconding this.
"Brunstault, this cunt's trying to gauge you into attacking her. Don't rush in head first!" you run down the stairs leading into the plaza where you see the devastation the two of them have caused. Cracks along the ground, a single crater off to the center of the plaza. That must have been the explosion you heard back there in front of the castle. "You, of all people, have to be the one to tell me that." Brunstault sighs, chastising herself in the back of her mind. It was true, really, she tells you to do all of that stuff. "I should take my own advice... but I've already got a clear head, I'm fine, Hero." Brunstault cracks her knuckles and flashes you a smile. "I've got this, don't worry about me. After all, you're the one that's going to kill me, remember?""AHhhh, you've found another one? You're quite the whore, aren't you?" Alicia grins, placing a finger on her lip. Brunstault ignores her. Her tail bursts into a scarlet flame. Her red eyes turn a deep gold, her claws extend outward. "You know what I said to you, about being a hypocrite, about being reckless, about being an idiot? ... Seems even old fools can't take their own advice." Brunstault smiles sadly. Wait, what was she doing? "Guess I'll play hero this one last time...! LET'S GO, ALICIA!" the fox rushes forward, bending space as her speed increases. In that instant, she's gone. Alicia smiles before vanishing into thin air. She was probably moving just as fast, if not faster then Brunstault.What was she doing? 'This' last time? You just got here.>"Brunstault, you stupid bitch. GET BACK HERE!">"One last time?">Say nothing, it was a fight between Gods.. you have no place here.>What to do?
>>20414073While we aren't good with magic, let's somehow try to boost our fox, or if possible, attach Alicia's serpent (the roll is for this, if applicable). If none of these are possible, go with option one.
>>20414073Get out our gun "Damnit Brunstault, you're not the only one who can fight!"I dunno, I'm lost right now.
>>20414073Don't try to fight as we are right now; we'll just pull Brunstault down and get her and us killed.Use our magic to enhance our speed and perception so that we can follow what's happening. If we can't even be at a speed that we can see them, then we're worse than useless here.
hmmm.... should we quickly go back to the castle, cap a bullet in the wizards head, steal his cloak and come back? That guy might try to kidnap our sister.
>>20414073>"One last time?"That doesn't sound promising.
>>20414188We didn't finish him off?*checks archive*We didn't finish off a guy that has access to magic, with our sister completely defenseless.We really are a stupid shit.Get the fuck back to the castle and shoot Yggdrasil in the head.
>>20414186>speed we can see themGot DAMN it. Physics do not work like that.Fuck anime and whatever else spreads that LIE.We would need to enhance our EYES for that in real life.
>>20414188>>20414223Put that offscreen. Yggdrasil is pretty much trapped, stripped and taken care of.
I agree with taking a support rollAlso, shout"Damnit, Brunstault! If you die, I'll find a way to bring you back so I can kill you myself to vent my anger!"
>>20414247Good to know then, i was asking, just in case.
>>20414239We need to be fast enough to actually make a difference, and our perception (eyes, optic nerve, and the rest of the visual system, as well as the entirety of our brain) has to be sped up to track something that's moving faster than our perception can track.
>>20414370I didn't notice you put perception.I was talking about things like DBZ: "I can go mach1, so I can easily see things going mach1. Doesn't matter that nothing else has been trained."
"Dammit, Brunstault! If you die, I'll find a way to bring you back so I can kill you myself!" they were moving far too fast to even track. You put magic through your eyes in an attempt to see them. Perception, flow, you can see it if you strengthen your body. The battle unfolds to your now trained eye.Brunstault leaps into the air, performing a violent kick to puncture Alicia's side. The dragon winds inward, taking Brunstault's attack at full force. Blood trickls down from the kick's point of impact. Brunstault pulls her foot back, swings it around for another strike. The dragon intercepts it once again by biting into Brunstault's foot. All the way through it, down to the bone. The fangs seep in, now staining themselves with blood. The fox smiles, placing two hands on the dragon's snout. With one, violent tug she pulls her leg free. Their speed dies down as they fall to the ground, both injured. "Ha..hahahah.." Alicia smiles wryly. The dragon is bleed from the side, but its wounds heal up in due time. Brunstault's body glows a faint gold as her body repairs itself just a tad faster than the dragons. "Ahhh, I wanted to gauge your ability, mother."Brunstault grimaces at the mention of that word. "Tch... I'm not your mother. Probably confused, eh?""No.. no, I specifically remember that blonde whore." Alicia smiles wide. That look in her eyes, her posture, it all screams of killing intent.>"Mother? What is she talking about Brunstault?">"Brunstault, kick her ass!">Go find Gestalt.. maybe you could get Varian here somehow?>What to do?
>>20414718>Go find Gestalt.. maybe you could get Varian here somehow?No point distracting her with words and with that we might have a chance.
>>20414718"Kick her ass!"Then find Gestalt. Just find Gestalt.Where the fuck is she? And Cadencia too.
>>20414718Go find Gestalt.. maybe you could get Varian here somehow?
>>20414718we should stay and try to help brunstault somehow/ try to defuse the situationgoing for gestal and varian would be pointless since the battle will be long over by the time we arrive in the mech
>>20414847I reccomend NOT going for the mech. It's still in the ruins, correct?Just us and Cadencia should be enough support to take her down.
>>20414847Nah bro, we aren't needed here. Besides, Cadencia might be in danger.Anyways, we should be doing something more useful then watching a fight.
>>20414908we would propably b able to do some damage if we used our strongest attack when she takes a break to healbut you're rightwe should look for cadencia and gestalt to make sure they are safeI just feel bad leaving foxy to die
>>20414988Birdstraw wont die quickly, and we can come back with the others to help.
>>20414718"Brunstault, kick her ass!"Then go get Cadencia.
Darnell, were you specifically thinking of the word 'cadence' when you named Cadencia?
>>20414718Find Cadencia and Gestalt. Make sure that Gestalt is safe since she's the target, then we can try to help Brunstault with Cadencia's magic as backup.
"Kick her ass Brunstault! I believe in you!" you smile before turning around. The magic running through your body dissipates. You have to find Gestalt and Cadencia, after all. What were they doing? Probably helping the citizens somewhere, after all of this racket. Nowhere around here was safe with something like Alicia running around. Alicia quickly realizes that the direction she should be going is the castle. In a burst of speed, she rushes straight after you with no time to waste. However, Brunstault performs a roundhouse kick, smashing into Alicia's own jaw. The dragoness flies through the air, in an arc as she lands just five meters away. The impact kicks up stone, mud and dust. The Half-God touches her bleeding face, cringing at the pain. "What the ... hell?""You know, Alicia..." Brunstault stands there, smiling, now with a second tail sprouting. "Dwelling Gods gain power from faith." Brunstault kicks the ground, causing it to rupture. Shortly after, flowers and greenery sprout from where she hit the surface. "One person wouldn't have given me this much power but a Guardian?" the fox smiles deviously. "It's more than enough, more than enough to take you DOWN!" the fox leaps forward, claws out, and eyes on the target...."Gestalt! Cadencia! Are you around?" you look around for the two of them. "Gah.. .come on. Where are you Gestalt, staring at a lamp post?" you shake your head. "Come on." your palm meets your face. >Check the castle>Check the Inn>Go back to Cadencia's place>what to do?
>>20415108Yes!
>>20415253>Go back to Cadencia's placeIt was empty earlier but maybe other have gone there by now or she has after getting an idea of what the hell was going on.
>>20415253>Check the Innwe haven't looked there yet.
>>20415253If they ARE helping the people, they'd be by the inn. Let's check there first.
>>20415253>Check the Inn
>>20415253check the inn, cadencias place and the castle in that orderthe inn is propably empty, if cadencia was gone somewhere she might go back to her place to gather some stuff, to the castle last because she would propably go there afterwardsif all of this fails, we should consider going to the bastvillage or the ruins, maybe out gang is regrouping there
>>20415354Shit! That just made me think, this might be an island wide incursion.Albert and his whale(whose name escapes me) could possibly be in danger.I also fear for everyone else, but those two are members of our group.
This was weird. First Yggdrasil and then Alicia? What the hell was going on? You run as fast as your legs take you. The Inn. That was the only place on your mind. You remember the route from Cadencia's place, so you run on past through, take a couple of turns. A violent thrust of the palm pushes the doors clean open. "AAHHHH!" a scream. It was a girl, a young girl at that. "Fred is alive. Disappointed." Gestalt frowns."Shut it." you place your hand over her mouth. "Cadencia, are you alright?" you see the Summoner holding a child. She places the kid in the arms of the mother and walks on over, nodding."I'm perfectly fine. Sorry for leaving you, but we had to move fast.""What's going on? Surely it just isn't Yggdrasil and Alicia doing all of this.""Are you talking about that dragon? No, no, it's a lot worse. There's a Remnant near, it's a large one too.""Wait, where? Where is it?""It's circling the island.. we didn't have much time to act so we gathered everyone in the Inn. We're going into the Underground. It's a few floors down, but it'll be the best place for everyone in this section of the city. However, we don't know.. about the others." Cadencia looks to the ground, disheartened. Damn, Alicia and Yggdrasil picked the right time to attack.>Ask Gestalt about the Varian>Ask Gestalt and Cadencia to help you take it out!>Wait for Brunstault to finish her fight with Alicia>What to do?
>>20415611>Ask Gestalt about the VarianMight not be wise to use it though. We should probably aim to deal with the remnant and trust in Brun to deal with Alicia. We should probably ask Cadencia to grab Candice too.
>>20415611Ask Gestalt how fast she can get the Varian here, tell Cadencia we'll fight it directly untill it's here.
>>20415611wellwe should figure out if there is a way to get to varian quicklyif there is no shortcut the others know, we (cadencia, gestalt and MC) should go finish alice
>>20415611>Ask Gestalt about the VarianWith that we should quickly dig a hole in the Remnant, while Brunstault holds the bitch.also>>20415632 for Candice.
>>20415700Burgerstand just went two tailed, she can handle herself.Only one person is needed to get the Varian actually flying, so we just need to have Gestalt get it here.
>>20415762so you want gestalt to walk all the way to varian unprotected while the island is under attack?
>>20415611Ask Gestalt and Cadencia to grab Candice, go deal with the Remnant.
>>20415840The Varian isn't even ON Verneguard.If there isn't a way for her to call it or something, we aren't getting it at all.OP, we did not bring the Varian back to Verneguard, correct?
>>20415943We left Varian in the hangar.
>>20415961>>20415943>>20415882so we deal with the remnant unless gestalt can sort of summon the mech
>>20416379Exactly.
"Hey, Gestalt, is there anyway to get the Varian here? We kind of need it." you never asked her about the capabilities of Gestalt herself. Could she summon the mech? Now would be a good time to do that. "Can you? Please say you can.""I can summon it." she answers flat out. Wait, why didn't she say so BEFORE?"Why didn't you mention this befo-""Didn't ask." Gestalt slaps you across the face to get the message across. You want revenge, but now isn't the time to be thinking of stuff like that. "Can you summon it right now?" that was a stupid question because you probably already thought of the answer."People dead. Inn destroyed. Do you want that?" so your thoughts were right. Gestalt had to summon it exactly where she stands. So you have to get someplace with a lot of space. "Alright, so we need to go somewhere with plenty of room..." then you realize the size of the machine. Around fifteen to twenty stories tall, was it? "Uh...""Let's jump off the island." Gestalt says with a plain face."What...?" >Just do it, quick solution>No.. there's another way>What to do?
>>20416744>Just do it, quick solutionTrust Gestalt, we don't have time.
>>20416744Doesn't this island have some kind of PLAINS?Go there, because it does.
>>20416744>Just do it, quick solutionHold on tight to Gestalt and then go flying.
>>20416779either this, or jumping offbut to be honest, I doubt the city is build just beside the edgethat would be retarded right?just leave the town, summon the mech in the outskirts
>>20416744>Just do it, quick solutionNot a lot of time, and hopefully she knows what she's doing.
"Alright, we don't have time for this Gestalt. COME ON!" you take a hold of her hand and sprint out of the Inn. "Fuck this." you literally pick up Gestalt, hold her under your arm and RUN. With all of your speed, all of your might, you sprint for the castle. Over the bridge, through the area with the balcony overlooking the side of the island. It takes you all of thirty seconds! One leap of faith! "Summon it, Gestalt!"You start to fall.The wind through your hair. It feels so nice. Feels weightless, well, you do. "GESTALT! SUMMON IT!" you scream, clinging onto the white-haired girl. "VARIAN!" you yell the name of the black machine. Gestalt wraps her arms around you, closing her eyes as threads burst out from her back. They engulf you before expanding outward, transforming into the familiar frame of the machine Varian. It's figure is a bit different from before. The same threads that came from Gestalt now decorate the entire outside of the mecha. Now in the cockpit, you examine your hands. From the tips of your fingers back to your wrists, you're 'connected' to the machine, as if it's a part of you. "Well this is ..." you lift your hand, the Varian mimics you. Gestalt leans forward, smiling as she looks toward you. "Let's go, Master!"Well.. that was different.>"Alright! VARIAN, LET'S KICK IT!">"Wait a second... don't know what to do.">What to do?
>>20417050>"Alright! VARIAN, LET'S KICK IT!"Let's go find that remnant. We'll deal with the ramifications of Gestalt calling Frederick master later.
>>20417050"This is weird but I'll deal with it later. LET'S KICK IT! And don't 'master', Gestalt." Then go superman into the remnant.
>>20417050I don't like have just left Cadencia like that, but I suppose it couldn't be helped, with a flying-type Remnant staying beyond engagement range in the open sky.Check sensors for the Remnant, it's supposed to be flying around the island.
>>20417050gogogo, kill the remnant and be home in time for......sleep
"This is weird but I'll deal with it later." you sigh, "Don't 'Master' me, Gestalt." you shake your head, but regardless, Gestalt probably won't listen to you no matter what you say."Got it, Master!" she smiles. Even though her demeanor changes, Gestalt is still Gestalt. "Let's go, Master!" Gestalt repeats herself."Alright, let's KICK IT!" the large machine extends its arms out. Its legs separate from one another as red wings extend out from the ankles. Varian moves forward and through the air, closing in on the targeted enemy. It was quite easy to find, considering its size."RAAAaaaaaooo!" It lets out a primal roar. Its large, gaping mouth was more than enough to swallow Gestalt, yourself and the Varian whole. That's why keeping at a range is a good idea, but perhaps your sword could cut through the hard skin? It's risky ,though.>Attack with the sword (1d20 -5)>Attack with the guns (1d20+5)>Attack with the cannon (1d20)>What to do?
rolled 12 + 5 = 17>>20417219>Attack with the guns (1d20+5)Better to stay at range since we don't know what it can do.
rolled 19 = 19>>20417219While it's roaring shoot the cannon down it's throat. Regardless how tough something is on the outside, it usually isn't that tough on the inside.
>>20417256Seconding this.
>>20417256this
Gestalt realizes what to do from the get go. The cannon under the shield on the left hand opens up. The 'wings' on the side of the shield branch out. The barrel reveals itself from its iron cover and peeps up through the hole. "ATRUM CANNON, FIRE!" a deep, white light rips out from the darkness of the cannon barrel. It spins, flying forward and straight into the mouth of the oversized Remnant. The explosion causes a shockwave so powerful that you can feel it from inside the cockpit of the mecha. The Remnant winces in pain, closing its mouth immediately after receiving direct damage from the weapon. "RAaaaaaooo!" it releases a roar and flies forward. Its flight pattern changes from around the island to STRAIGHT AT YOU. You don't say a word, you just focus all of your thoughts on the battle. Gestalt keeps her eyes peeled, you keep your mind sharp. After all, you were no on the defensive.>Shoot the cannon again (1d20 -5)>Try and dodge it (1d20 + 5)>Try and counter with a heavy attack (1d20)>What to do? (1d100)
rolled 6 + 5 = 11>>20417379Try and dodge it. We'll line up another shot when it passes by.
rolled 1 + 5 = 6>>20417379>Gestalt realizes what to do from the get go.I wonder if we are currently mind linked through the Varian.Dodging it is probably the best course of action. Given how big it is, we should probably just play defensively and shoot its mouth everytime it roars.
rolled 15 + 5 = 20>>20417446Well that's a shitty roll, in my defense I got the 19 for the cannon shot.
rolled 7, 8 = 15>>20417379Dodge upwards, take out sword, impale through top.
The Varian descends rapidly, pulling itself out of the route taken by the Remnant. The machine crouches down, narrowly avoiding getting its head taken off. You grit your teeth as anger boils up from within. The markings on the outside of the Varian glow a bright white as your emotion seeps through to the machine itself. A single thread. A line runs through your mind. Then a series of lines.They quickly meld into one another, forming a sort of sync. They beat with one another, forming a spiral pattern, then a circle, a square. They constantly change shapes, dancing through the darkness. It's the machines concious, your very soul, what makes you you. Resonating. Becoming one."ATRUM CANNON, FIRE!" Gestalt fires off another shot at the Remnant with its open mouth. However, the Remnant reacts by closing its mouth. It knows the attack now, so it won't work a second time. The Remnant rushes forward. You dodge to the side once more. You clench your fist.The sooner you finish this thing, the sooner those people would be saved.>Use the Breaker Cannon (1d20+5)>Keep using Atrum Cannon (1d20)>Use sword (1d20-5)>What to do?
>>20417603slash the monsters sideinsert breakercannon into woundshoot cannon for massive damagenot sure what to roll for that kind of attack
rolled 15 + 5 = 20>>20417603>forms a spiralWe TTGL now.FIRE EVERYTHI- we can't do that?Fine, just fire the Breaker Canon.
rolled 10 + 5 = 15>>20417603Use the sword to slash open a wound along the top of the Remnant.
rolled 45 = 45>>20417603When it's rushing forward fly underneath it and let loose with all the weapons we can manage.
rolled 20 + 5 = 25Use the Breaker Cannon, shoot it in the eye while it's passing by, maybe it will piece the eye and hit the brain.
>>20417715Let's see this Breaker Cannon in action.
rolled 19 + 5 = 24>>20417688Go with this. It is beautiful overkill.Wish I HAD said to fire everything now.
"Let's see you handle THIS!" the teel threads that connect you to the machine start to glow white. Gestalt leands forward as a visor appears just above her eyes. It locks onto the mobile Remnant within a few seconds. "Breaker Cannon, Stand by!" the cannon begins to charge inside its chamber. While it remains on charge, you spin Varian and thrust the machine forward and through air, drawing closer to the monster. The sword on its left hand expands outward, glowing with scarlet energy. "HAAAAH!" you scream. The Varian rips into the monster's flesh with its heated energy blade. The beast cringes, closing its eyes to pain that won't vanish. Dark energy seeps out from the side of the creature. It forms tendrils, striking at you, the Varian and Gestalt. Pulling back on the threads, you avoid it just narrowly. "You're not going to survive THIS ONE!""Breaker Cannon, locked on. Releasing full assault!" Gestalt places both hands on two panels beside her chair. The wings on the back of the machine start to reveal missile silos. One, two, ten, one hundred on one wing and one hundred on the other. The shield where the Atrum Cannon is housed separates, revealing a total of ten barrels. "On command... FIRE!" she initiates the attack.
The monster is bombarded with hundreds upon hundreds of missiles. The Atrum Cannon fires relentless into the open wound, driving the beast further and further away from the island. "Breaker Cannon, FIRE!" Lunarian symbols rip outward, forming a magical circle- wait, no, those circles... break? They crumble upon coming in contact with the air, however, they're replaced by the same threads that expand from both you and Gestalt. They're in English, and it says "WORLD LAW IMPOSED: ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION" on the outside of each ring. On your command, "FIRE!"The blast starts out as a tiny, white line no bigger than a pin-head. However, it quickly grows to fill the void between each magic circle. The Remnant has no chance to escape. The Breaker Cannon takes hold of the monster, and sits it flying to its death. The beam slowly shrinks as it eats away at the carcass of the Darkwyrm creature. The rings that encased the cannon break away, causing... an unexpected side effect. The clouds below that shield the Overworld and the Underworld, they begin to falter, revealing the moonlight in the sky to the world below. You don't take notice of this, however, and only look to the moon that's now hoisted high in the sky."Looks like we did it... Gestalt." suddenly, you feel fatigued but.. you can't sleep just yet.>Go check on Brunstault>Just... rest for a bit>Ask Gestalt what to do>Waht to do?
>>20418038>>Ask Gestalt what to doThen>Go check on BrunstaultWe need to make sure that the Varian isn't going to over heat or something after firing that much dakka. Then it would be prudent to check up on the foxgirl.
>>20418038>Ask Gestalt what to do>Go check on Brustault and Cadencia.We need to make sure we can safely land the Varian and it's not about to dump some radioactive waste heat or anything.
>>20418073Agreed. Regardless of what happens though, check up on Brunny.
>>20418038That was awesome. It seems that Varian has cool tricks hidden up it's sleeve.Now that one threat has been dealt with it's time check up on Brunstault. Tell Gestalt to keep going even if we pass out on the way.
rolled 16 + 5 = 21>>20418038>WORLD LAW IMPOSED: ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTIONI like this. Hope you don't mind me using it.Also, HOLY SHIT. Any drawfags!?Ask Gestalt to fly us to the plaza.
"Gestalt... what do you think we should do?" you were still fatigued. You try and move your arms, but it's a no go. "Rest. You need rest." Gestalt says as she takes control of the Varian. It starts flying over the island and soon, over the plaza. The cockpit around you begins to vanish in a blue light."That's funny, I don't feel tired." your vision blurs. The feeling in your hands and feet, however, slowly returns so that's a good sign. Before you know it, you're falling through the air, only to be caught by Gestalt seconds before impact onto the ground. You hear footsteps, and then a blonde girl appears in your vision. There's red on her cheeks, so she's probably bleeding.She says something... but you can't understand it.It's... just too hard, too much effort and energy.You just close your eyes for a second to get a bit of rest.That's all.End of Chapter 16Thoughts?
>>20418222Breaker Cannon is OPbut you don't have to nerf it yet, wait till we meet the lunarians
>>20418222I like the way you write the exchanges with Gestalt, and the combat scenes which usually end up quick and deadly.
Why is Gestalt so perfect?>>20418222Did Anon or Gestalt get hurt by their "landing"?
>>20418945Nope.
