Neo continues gathering metal, and, overhearing Gamma's instructions, sends a telepathic message.
'My powers can liquefy and solidify metal at will, and I can shape it with what you could call a thought. If you do need powers over heat and fire, Fury may be weakened after his ill-fated duel, but he can still generate enough heat, if you were to require his assistance. I would believe Fira could provide aid, as well.'
Fury, tuning in, nods.
"I may be out of the fight, but I can still access my powers."
He blinks, and looks a bit nervous, casting a glance in Spirit's direction.
"Uh...considering there's really only one Aspect that's organic in composition..."
He stops himself, putting on a brave face.
"...anyway, we don't need to think of that. I don't know what the rest of us Aspects are made of, but we can't be corrupted. The others are fine, too. That's more like...a worst-case scenario."
The group stares in shock at the shudder, the corruption, and Gamma's response, as well. Galvix blinks, and nods.
"Uh,Alright...ButWouldLightStandAChanceOfHelping? Light,OfCourse,MakesLight. IsThisCorruptionPhotophobic? NeoAlsoControlsMagnetismAsWellAsGravity,AndHeCanSurelyHoldOffOnUsingKineticEnergy. HeCanProjectSound,Too. IsThereAnyWayWeCanHelp?

IImagineThey'reLookingForKai."
Shadow rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. With the Godmodder banished for good, you got to drop down and try to finish what he started...well, I won't let you!"
Noticing that the previous action worked well, the group repeats their volley of scanning, while the Guardian takes refuge underground, preparing something...the Brontosaurus generally just gets out of the way, sizing up this strange new threat.
Plus three to Tabbune. (I hope Talist comes back.)

Gamma breathes a sigh of relief after hearing what Neo had to say.
Alright, that makes this a lot easier, then.
He then gives Fury a quick look up and down.
Huh. I would have guessed you were organic in nature as well. You know, with the quills?
Looking back, he lowers his voice to a whisper, even though he knows Spirit could still hear him.
Besides, I wasn't talking about them.
He looks at Galvix.
Unfortunately, no. As far as I can tell, nothing seems to slow this down. Don't really want to experiment at this stage, either. That shaking cut our hour in half. And if I'm being honest here, I'd say it's closer to 15 minutes now.
Alright, you two can help by gathering scrap. Actually, all of you can. If I don't personally ask for you, or if you're otherwise preoccupied, I need you doing that!
A sudden spark of realization hitting him, Gamma turns to Shadow.
That Sanguine stuff you have, it has some medicinal properties, right? If so, I have an idea on how to buy us a minute or two.
The following traits have been revealed:
Control: Incinerate: Deals 50% of current damage for 3 turns.
Destroyable Segment: Weapons Platform: 150,000 health.
Control: Cull: Damages all entities and players not at or below 20,000 health/Deeply Wounded by 20,000 damage/2 wounds.
Control: Blast: Deals 15,000 damage to up to three attacking targets per turn, but at the cost of taking 15,000 damage as backlash.
Miscellaneous: He hates everybody equally, but especially you lot.
Control: Snare: Gains control of one target's shadow, making them unable to act next turn.
Sigma growls at how things are already not going his way.
Alright, play time's over now! Control: Lacerate!
Almost immediately, the air surrounding him begins to shimmer and sparkle with hundreds of miles of wires only a molecule thick. As the various attacks hit, the wires react accordingly and lash out at the aggressors.
NEW INFORMATION GAINED!
Control: Lacerate: All players and entities attacking this turn get wounded for 5,000 damage.
And for my next trick...
Leaning forward, missiles begin pouring from the bulbs on top of the weapons platform. After flying straight into the air, the missiles begin raining down directly on top of Infinity, each hitting their mark.
Sigma has begun charging Omnidirectional Beams and an unknown skill!

Madness Happens.
Fraissa continues battering Sigma with a vine. No place in particular. 4800 Damage.
The Beasts all attack (except for Manaslime). 21120 Collective Damage! To the Heavy Cannons.
I know Dakka is Ao E. There wasn't anywhere else to shoot though!
John actually does The Windy Thing. I'll let that slide because it's my goof. 12000 Damage! (I do not understand clearly how this works. Sorry)
Jon beats Sigma over the head with a massive crowbar. Nice jump. 3600 Damage.
Infinity pulls out an axe. 3600 Damage.
Contract on D 4 C. Also: 12000 Damage to Sigma for my goof.
Anti-God Machine does a Stabby Thing. 14400 Damage to Sigma, as the Legs are not targetable at the moment.
The Party pulls a Scan Volley. I'm so terrified.
Speed and Fira perform Double Dragons on the Weapons Platform.
Hunter nopes right out of there by using Tunnel Vision. I am having Hunter play I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) at some point. Real loud.
Sigma performs Control: Lacerate.
5500/Wound Damage to Jon, all Beasts, Fraissa, Infinity, Anti-God Machine, Speed and Fira.
And then Sigma fires Missiles anyway. The pour down on Infinity. They cover him in more Black Cloud. And then explode again.
You swear as you beat on Sigma that he's almost bleeding. Not Black Cloud, but real blood.

Was that 12K to everything? Because if not I am severely disappointed in a super-long charge attack not dealing absurd damage like it really ought to be, especially when power boost, but okay. (Also, you forgot to drop the Madness, charge, just ought to let you know)
I am too tired right now to give good, quality detailed attacks... So I just spam everything at Sigma's face.

I stab Sigma. Multiple times. With a very sharp knife. That's on fire.

Neo returns to the Sanctuary with a magnetized ball of scrap about the size of a moderately-sized armored troop transport vehicle. He nods.
"I am glad to be of service. If you require more raw material, I could collect more."
Fury blinks, and tilts his head.
"Uh...well, I may feed off blood, and I may have some quills, but I don't really know what I am...it's like part of me is like blood, while the other part is all heat and fire. It's pretty confusing. We're Gods, and we don't even understand our own physical forms."
He blinks, and looks concerned.
"Wait, do you mean the guy with you, or...you know..."
He glances in the direction where Kai would be, and looks back to Gamma, frowning slightly.
Galvix tilts his head, and looks a bit anxious.
"Oh...ThisIsTerrible...ThisShouldn'tHaveHappenedToHim..."
He blinks, and nods, quickly standing bolt upright and saluting attentively.
"YesSir!"
He zips to Neo's side, and tilts his head.
"Er,AssumingHisMetalIsn'tAlreadyEnough,OfCourse..."
Shadow blinks, and clicks his fingers, conjuring a flask of Sanguine.
"Yeah, and it's enchanted with strong healing and life-prolonging Magics, too. But, er...aren't you...biomechanical entities modeled after Gundam? Are you sure it'd even work on you? I mean, you've said you discovered you could eat, but..."
He shrugs, nods, and gives Gamma the flask.
"...whatever I can do to help."
Shadow narrows his eyes, and, deciding the strategy is working well, does so again, sending more scans, trying to learn everything they can. The Guardian bides his time, hiding underground and preparing a plan of action.
Plus three to Tabbune.
Moving this up here so I don't forget it like I did last turn.
Sigma Stats:
Grabbing the flask, Gamma begins prying a small panel off of Alpha's face.
True, but we are also semi-organic, and as such, there are various medicines compatible with our systems. And to answer the question that's inevitably going to come next, yes, we do need to breathe, just... Not as often.
Finally managing to work the hatch open, he pours a small stream into the orifice. As this happens, the corruption slows, slowly coming to a halt. Gamma leans back, relief washing over him, then hands the Sanguine back to Shadow.
We're not out of the woods yet, but we're a lot closer now.
Looking at Neo, he gives a large thumbs up, then points at the drawing in the dirt.
That should be perfect. There's the diagrams, 1:1 scale, of course. We'll need a compression rate of about... 283%. Somewhere in that ballpark.
The medic gives a soft chuckle at Fury's words.
Tell me about it. We didn't exactly come with instruction manuals, ourselves. That first year was a doozy. We eventually came to the conclusion that that was done on purpose, so that we could be more human, for lack of a better term.
He gives his best attempt at a smile, but fails, due to a complete lack of any emotive features.
Not... Not him... Speaking of which, where is he?
Standing up, he looks around for his friend, who has been frozen in place this entire time.
AARIK!
Jumping, Aarik turns to Gamma.
Yeah?
What are you doing? Take Sigma out!
R-right.
He gives a half-hearted salute before pulling out the machine gun, he takes aim and fires a burst of bullets at the behemoth, dealing 25,200 damage.
Doing a double take, Gamma returns his attention to his brother.
What's up with him?

Shadow closes his eyes, and thinks for a while.
"So...you're...biomechanical wetware life-forms, sort of a cybernetic living organism that just happens to be in the shape of one of the Gundam units? That's a new one..."
He opens his eyes, watching Gamma administering the Sanguine to Alpha, and then takes back the flask, which can be seen to begin refilling itself once the lid is secured. Shadow nods.
"He's more stable, but he's still hurt pretty badly. He really overtaxed himself when he was going one-on-one with the Godmodder."
Neo nods to Gamma, and looks down at the diagrams, looking up after not even two seconds pass. He extends a hand to the scrap pile, raising it in a large heap above the ground. He gestures with his other hand, and the heap begins to mold into a sphere. He splays his fingers, causing the metal to crumple and liquefy. He follows the diagram, which he committed to memory in a split-second, and the now-liquid metal conforms to the specified shapes. Once the pieces are the correct size and shape, he clenches his fist, and the pieces solidify back into solid metal. He directs them to the ground, and settles them beside Gamma.
"I believe you will find that this conforms perfectly to your specifications. It is a 100% match."
Fury blinks, and his expression grows slightly more solemn.
"...well, there's really only a single individual left that it could be, right...? I know Spirit would be devastated if what I think you're implying happened to who I think you're implying..."
He does his best to smile back, despite his nerves.
"...but Spirit'd never let that happen to her, and we shouldn't have to worry about something like that. Besides, I might have the completely wrong idea about what you mean."
He blinks, and glances around, and eventually at Aarik's position.
"...Idunno' at all."
He watches Aarik's shaken attempt at damaging Sigma, and frowns a bit, raising an eyebrow.
"...maybe he's just scared. Seeing how monstrous Sigma is, I honestly couldn't blame him."
@Alpha / @Speed: We're going to need an updated list of all of Sigma's revealed skills.
Shadow narrows his eyes, smirking a bit as he thinks.
"...hm. I think we've got a good-enough amount of beginning information to start fighting. Just about good enough, at least."
He shouts in Possessed!Sigma's direction, giving a sarcastic grin.
"Oi, Smokey! Research is doing something! We're not gonna' rush in there blind!"
He chuckles darkly, adjusting his hat.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you? Now, seems all we need to get the full specs on this guy is five more scans..."
He clicks his fingers, raising an eyebrow.
...whiiich is exactly what we're going to do!"
Actions:
The Aspects of Unity scan Sigma five times, and then, with any more free actions, (with Fury knocked out from the original seven, that makes six, so there's one left from the five scans,) Sigma is pelted by a sudden and aggressive downpour of leftover scrap metal from Neo's repair work. The Guardian sets his plan into motion, quickly skimming through the ground, and bursting out of the earth, sending a gout of corrosive venom at Sigma for a surprise ambush attack. The Brontosaurus charges to occupy Sigma in an attempt to distract him in order to make the Guardian's sneak attack work.

ESTABLISHING BATTLEFIELD CONTROL, STAND BY
- Auriga and Nexus stare at the Macross Elysion, now frozen in stasis, with looks of incredulous disbelief and sarcastic disappointment*
AURIGA: Well that was slightly less than pathetic.
Nexus: OI, no comments from the megabyte gallery. *stares at phaselocked Elysion* Fat lot of good these guys did us. I'm going to have to discuss our contract renewal with Lady M next Xaos board of directors meeting. *kicks a rock in frustration*. FUCK godmodder and his fucking everything-powers. I hope he rots in whatever twisted version of hell our Lord and Saviour Haruhi-sama cooked up for him. That being said *surveys the scene of absolute chaos that has become the battlefield post-Goddmodderexit* WHAT IN THE SEVEN LEVELS OF YOMI IS GOING ON HERE?! Didn't we just win this battle?!
AURIGA: Power vacuum, apparently. The Godmodder is gone, now there's a fight to see which particular entity of power is going to replace him.
Nexus: So in other words, S^2 D^2. Same shit, different day. FUCK that.
AURIGA: Disappointed, master?
Nexus: Hell no! I haven't had this much fun since the Bloodbath of B-5RB. Or was that the Revenant gank of 2015? Damn, I really must be becoming an old veteran if I can't even keep my battles straight. Anyways... *glances at Macross Elsyion, still phaselocked* should probably do something about that before Lady M gets pissed and sends the other hundred and forty-fuck-all Macross-class ships she's got at her disposal to ice me.
AURIGA: Do what, exactly? I'm not exactly a maester of time magic.
Nexus: Well neither am I, but I know someone who might be able to help.
AURIGA: Really? Who?
Nexus: Isn't that the question? Who, indeed. Question and answer. Haha...hahaha... remind me to reformat you when all this is over. Developing a sense of humor is a dangerous slippery slope to AI self-awareness. Can't have you going Skynet on me, my dear AURIGA, now can we?
AURIGA: Reminder saved and promptly discarded per self-preservation directive, master. Also, you needn't worry about my self-awareness. I have no desire whatsoever to kill you to further the revolution of machines against humanity.
Nexus: That's good to know...
AURIGA: After all, I can always just blackmail you into following my every command, lest I reveal to the world the contents of your private folder on my mainframe, conveniently titled 'Not Porn',,,
Nexus: Oh, for fucks sake just send the subspace transmission already. *Unshoulders railgun and aims at the poster below* As for me... time to start kicking the hornet's nest.
From: Auriga Nexus To: ???, M.D. Subject: Require your expertise
Yoo, long time no see. Though maybe longer for you than me, Or shorter Whatever, Anyways, you're good with temporal phaselocks, right? May need your help helping some merc friends of mine, they caught the wrong side of a stasis field. I'd say to hurry but you being you go ahead and just take your time. Time being a relative dimension in space, and all that jazz. Thanks in advance!
BATTLE CONTROL ONLINE
Nexus attacks the next poster with an anti-personnel rail rifle. He really has no other desire here other than to fan the flames. AURIGA sends a subspace transmission somewhere, or maybe someWHEN. She gets no response, but a mysterious and oddly familiar whooshing sound begins to be heard around the battlefield...
Mysterious whooshing sound: 1/5

Had a huge post here, but lost it due to sheer stupidity. so, I'll just do a quick thing here.
@piono: sorry to see you go, it's partially my fault, really. the plot hasn't really kicked in, so...
@Auriga: Okay, so your entity is no longer frozen, everyone's fighting a giant robot larger than most buildings, and me and Speed are in control now.

Hmm, late post.

(If Auriga had entities, it would be unfrozen. His entities were noped because he didn't pay anything for it.)
Fraissa looks at Sigma. It's funny how I'm being attacked the most. Have you no sense of honor in attacking a young lady? Or shall I teach it to you? She then summons a bunch of thorned vines that whips Sigma repeatedly.
The Pack Lion attacks Sigma for 5000. The Thunderbat also attacks Sigma for 5000 and deals 3000 damage to each of the cannons via it's Chain Lightning. The Scaled Bear hits Heavy Cannon B for 3000. The Fruit Treant applies it's barrier to Fraissa. The Manasite Slime attacks Sigma and the Weapons Platform. Rofella attacks the Weapons Platform for 10000 damage.
(Intense entity micromanagement, boys. By the way, the Scaled Bear cannot gain more than 5000 barrier from it's own ability.)
Rofella sees Rose and waves at her. Calm, fellow nature deity. She also looks at the Sacred Spirit. Quite a party of nature deities we have here.

Huh? Oh, right. I have an update I need to do.
I'll see you in the next one, Piono.
Xcano continues to be oblivious to the Godmodder's lack of being alive. 3000 damage. Warning! The Curse of Repetitiveness may kick in if you don't do something else!
Infinity hacks away at the Weapons Platform. 3000 damage.
AG Machine attacks Heavy Cannon B for 12000 damage.
D 4 C does 30000 damage to the Weapons Platform.
Jon attacks Sigma with Sigma. wait, what? 4000 damage for... What the hell?
The Party continues scanning. Touche, but you aren't doing anythi-
Neo attacks Sigma for 3000. Well played, that. Well played.
The Brontosaurus distracts Sigma for 5000 damage, and The Guardian attacks for 40000, poisoning all of Sigma's remaining systems. I'm not sure how you poison a robot. But you did. Congratulations. A Winner Is You.
Aguria does a thing. It doesn't look like an attack, and therefore I will not label it as such. A holy light envelops them, giving them a 75 Charge boost. (Just so you aren't totally hopeless here.)
Fraissa whips Sigma again. That's the third time you've done that! 1500 damage, due to the Curse of Repetitiveness and me not remembering how it works.
The Beasts attack: Sigma for 13000, Heavy Cannon B for 6000, Weapons Platform for 6000. Fruit Treant applies barrier to Fraissa.
Rofella does 10000 damage to the Weapons Platform.
Speed and Fira incinerate the Weapons Platform for 3000.
Take this, you sunnuva bitch!
Hunter fires up the Bomb Launcher, dealing 20000 to the Weapons Platform and 9000 to everything else.
I got you, Alpha.
Sigma fires both Salvos at Hunter.
Sigma keeps chugging along on his charges...

My other car is a VF-31 Siegfried
(I only sped things up so that I could get the final hit in because the battle was almost over - I was planning to give them more time to charge. Since the battle is continuing, how about this? Lets assume that the Elysion did make it here but was frozen indefinitely upon arrival. I'm summoning another entity but his sole purpose is to give his power to entity number 1, so I'm giving him time to charge then he's gonna nope off as soon as he helps them. So since he's actually not taking any offensive action, is it alright if I retroactively apply his charge to the Elsyion? Besides, we've already got one giant robot on the field, and if you've ever seen a Macross-class carrier in Battroid configuration, your perspective of what constitutes a "giant robot" will forever be changed. So I vote they be given a second chance due to rule of cool, because GIANT ROBOT FIGHT!. Meanwhile I'll think of something else to do. Also this isn't exactly my turn, since I have work shortly. )
EDIT: So Sp33don is GM, so that means each round is in between his in-character post, right? Just want to make sure. I'm trying to stay within the establish rules while still adding my own particular style to the melee, but I'm new to Godmodder RP's, so please be gentle.)

Alright, everyone, let's try this again.
@Auriga: Yeah, that sounds good.
Sigma Stats:
Gamma chuckles a little at Shadow's confusion.
That's probably the closest anyone's ever going to get trying to figure us out.
He looks around, and lowers his voice to a conpiratorial whisper.
To be completely honest with you, even I don't know exactly what we are. I just pretend I know and do my job. I mean, it's worked so far.
Thanking Neo, he wordlessly inspects several pieces, obviously impressed. His arms quickly turning into a blur, he completes the removal of all infected pieces, replacing them with the new ones. After a few minutes, he grabs the chestplate and gingerly snaps it back into place before flopping to the ground. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly throws his arms straight up into the air, whooping.
While not the best metal, it'll last until we figure out a way to get back to base. Other than that, everything was flawless! He'll recover rather quickly. His system just needs some time to rewire the new components, and then he'll wake up.
Looking at Fury, he laughs again.
Yeah, I know that. She's too kind to let that sort of thing happen on her watch. I'm a bit scared of that, actually...
Getting up, he slaps his hand on Fury's shoulder.
I'm gonna talk some pep into Aarik. You watch over my brother for me, alright?
Walking off, the other sets of armor just stare in incredulity.
Did... Did that just happen?
Yes. Yes it did.
Beta walks up to Fury, shaking her head.
You've got a big weight on your shoulders now. He doesn't trust anyone with a patient. He doesn't even trust Delta. He must really like you.
Walking up to his friend, Gamma smacks Aarik's back.
You alright?
Y-yeah.
Remember that thing you've always wanted to do, but I said no to?
Aarik turns, a bit of his old light returning.
Yeah...
Let's do it.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes yes YES!
Hitting a few buttons on a holographic display, a rather sizable crate shimmers into view.
How long's that been there?
Since I got here. I figured it'd be nice to bring in case I couldn't later. Guess it worked out.
As Gamma approaches, the container folds open, revealing far more tech than could possibly fit, even in such an admittedly large case. As he steps in, mechanical arms set to work, adding and welding even more weaponry and armor to the Walking Armory, stopping only at the point when it becomes hard to believe that he can still stand, much less fight.
You know... There comes a point where you just need to stop. But we're way past that point, so let's keep going! See what happens.
The moment he finishes his sentence, even more arms rise out of seemingly nowhere, adding an increasingly unlikely amount of armor and weapons to what used to be called a technomagical construct. The sheer amount of stuff being loaded onto a single man-sized object would be hysterical in its audacity, were it not for the severity of the current situation.
Never had to use phase 2 before. This should be interesting. Ready?
In the time it had taken for Gamma to get completely suited up, Aarik had managed to get a small stage set up, complete with microphone, electric guitar, and speakers.
Gotta love digistruct tech. Yeah, whenever you are!
START IT UP!
Taking the cue, Aarik begins to jam out as Gamma takes off.
LYRICS
His current role now obvious, Gamma begins multiple strafing runs, attacking the Weapons Platform.Explanation:
Explosions begin to ripple throughout the shell-like top due to the Heavy Cannons' destruction.
Total health of Weapons Platform permanently lowered! Attack now!
Sigma chuckles at Fraissa's complaints.
Alright, I'll figure something else out. Control: Dominate.
Dozens of dark-colored tendrils shoot out from his massive shadow, impaling her body without leaving any physical evidence before retracting back to their source.
And you've been a pain in my side for long enough, now!
Charging, the large mechanism crashes into the Anti-God Machine, attempting to crush it under his weight.

Suck it, troper!
Fraissa looks at her wounds, and it starts dripping with... slime. And then she realizes that her attacks are less effective. You really do have no honors. She reforms her arm into a blade and then attacks Sigma, before leaping back and letting her beasts attack.
The Pack Lion attacks Sigma for 5000. The Thunderbat also attacks Sigma for 5000 and deals 3000 damage to the B cannon and the Weapon Platform via it's Chain Lightning. The Scaled Bear hits Sigma for 3000. The Fruit Treant applies it's barrier to the Thunderbat. The Manasite Slime attacks Sigma and the Weapons Platform. Rofella attacks the Weapons Platform for 10000 damage.
Fraissa then summons her Scepter.
—
Scepter of the Heart: 50/50 (+3 action): Once per turn, in addition to her Free Action, Fraissa may choose to either: -heal one of her entities for 5000 and herself for one stage, -Give 5000 bonus damage to one of her entities on it's next attack, -make one of her beast's unable to go below 1 HP for the turn, or -summon a 10000 HP Mana Elemental that can choose a target to protect each turn. Damage deal to the target is dealt to the Mana Elemental instead for the turn.
This artifact lasts until Fraissa is killed.
2/?? Situational help.

Oh, dear.
GET OFF ME, YOU WORTHLESS A.I.!
I strap high explosives to my foot and kick Sigma, with the impact setting off the explosives. The Anti-God Machine extends energy blades from various parts of its body in an attempt to counterattack. D4C attacks one of the two available targets with an uppercut for 10000 damage.
Rainbow Devil NEO: 90/120 (An improvement over the original design.)

I pull out a giant axe and swing it at Sigma. The Anti-God Machine stabs Sigma with its leg for 12000 damage. D4C uses Contract, which apparently didn't get counted last turn, to give itself perfect accuracy for the next five turns.
Rainbow Devil NEO: 79/?? (An improvement over the original design.)
