-Liberty Prime approaches the sea-
DEMOCRACY IS NON NEGOTIABLE.

-the sky above the sea blackens as forks of lightning flare across the sky-
Nor is the divine right of the Emperor!
-a towering figure erupts from the waves and stands on the sea as if it were a solid surface. He is a man, dressed in a kimono as green and undulating as the sea, and his long, black hair is knotted and tangled. He glares wildly at Liberty Prime as he draws an emerald sword from within the folds of his clothes-
This land now belongs to those blessed by the Kami of Onogoro; as such, the seas surrounding it, and the storms they bear, belong to Susa-no-O!

The Danse Macabre Codex-Justice One's plane rocks wildly-
Woooah! Hang on, hang on!
Locking you up on radar since '09EMPEROR SHOWA WILL FALL. JAPAN WILL FALL!
-blasts the figure with brilliant blue Eye Beams-
Sniper: ...
Scout: Yo, what's up?
Sniper: ... There's a giant robot getting ready to fight a giant man in a dress. (Yay stereotypes)
Heavy: GIANT man? How beeg is this giant man?
Pyro: Hmhhmhhmmhffgnh...
Heavy: There is no man beeg enough that Sacha and Natascha cannot cut him down to little baby man size!
Sniper: Too big even for you, mate... I think you'll be able to see them if you...
Spy: -decloaks- Gentlemen.
Scout: Whatcha find?
Spy: If you follo me, I think zat you will be granted a good view of the situation.
Heavy 'and Pyro): -toasting sandviches- Coming!

-Susa-no-O's lips curl upward in distaste as the energy beams strike his shoulder, setting his clothes on fire; a single flick of his hand brings a tongue of seafoam to the blaze, extinguishing it-
Showa will reign eternally, machine. This is the hour of our return.
-the storm god lifts his blade straight overhead, and a truly enormous wave forms behind Susa-no-O. The wave, incredibly, does not fall or break, but holds itself in place right behind the kami's head-
The Danse Macabre Codex-On beach-
Doktor: That... should be possible.
Engineer: Hope that there robot's got rust-resistant parts...
AMERICA WILL NEVER FALL TO IMPERIALIST INVASION.
-blasts again, hitting Susa-no-O square in the face-

Kusanagi...
-Susa-no-O continues to hold the Grasscutter sword aloft, allowing the wave to build to truly biblical proportions-
IKE!
-and with that, the storm god swings the sword down, and the brobdingagian wave is loosed, hurtling toward Liberty Prime like a freight train. At the same instant, the robot's blast connects with Susa-no-O's face, knocking the kami off his feet-

The Danse Macabre CodexOBSTRUCTION DETECTED. DESIGNATION: TSUNAMI, CONTAINING AN ESTIMATED 25 PETAJOULES OF ENERGY. PROBABILITY OF MISSION HINDRANCE: ZERO PERCENT.
-Liberty Prime crouches down and braces himself for the wave's impact-
"Erm boss?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"It's the water again, sir..."
"Fuuuu-"
The Starbirds pull up to avoid being splashed by the tsunami, should it move further inland.
A different shape every step I take A different mind every step of the line-the tsunami slams into Liberty Prime with incredible force, nearly bowling the robot over even with the preparations it has taken. On the sea (yes, on, not in), Susa-no-O sits up with a groan and rubs his jaw, then pulls his hand away when he feels-
Blood?
-the kami stares for a minute, then breaks into the most alarming grin imaginable-
Excellent! I have not had such sport since I slew Yamata-no-Orochi!
-the sea forms itself lifts into the air like a rising back of an easy chair, helping the storm god to his feet-
I shall enjoy destroying you, machine...
The Danse Macabre Codex-The man quietly traverses the the coastline, blending into the scenery almost effortlessly. He stops and surveys his surroundings, catching a glimpse of another man in a tree. He sees, briefly, the glint of sunlight on the rifle he carries-
You're not shooting me down while my back's turned, mate...
-a bullet whizzes past the Sniper, hitting the tree and spraying splinter everywhere. The Sniper unleashes a torrent of profanities at the assailant and dashes for cover-

"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.-Prime rises to his feet-
EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED.
-he selects a mini-nuke off his back, takes aim and hurls it at Susa-no-O-
Oh, please.
-Susa-no-O brings Kusanagi into a ready position, then swings the emerald katana at a blinding speed. The nuclear warhead splits into two halves which trail harmlessly past the storm god for several hundred feet before detonating; in addition, pounding rain begins to fall on the beach as the kami strides across the ocean's surface towards Liberty Prime-
Come, gaijin, let us see if you are as strong as you look.
The Danse Macabre CodexFREEDOM IS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN.
-fires another round of Eye Beams and charges-
There are no Americans here, machine; and soon, there will not be anyone else, anywhere!
-Susa-no-O begins to walk faster, charging to meet Liberty Prime in midstride-
Soon all lands will belong to the Empire of the Dawn, and all peoples will call themselves citizens of Nippon!
The Danse Macabre Codex-the two giants crash into each other, each trying to gain the upper hand-
IMPERIALISM IS A TEMPORARY SETBACK ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM!
-Prime punches Susa-no-O with enough force to shatter a building-
-Shinshiro moves along the shore, gazing at the towering figures of Liberty Prime and Susa-no-O. He shakes his head in amazement as the storm god reels from that punch to the face-
{That these gaijin could build a mecha strong enough to injure Susa-no-O-okami, even slightly, is an amazing feat. They will make wonderful servants under his Imperial Eminence's rule.}
-he turns to his two Oni bodyguards as the kami retaliates by jabbing the hilt of Kusanagi into Prime's chin, knocking the robot down-
{You two, return to the command center; I feel that our countermeasures may not be up to the task of safeguarding it from American hands.}
-the two red ogres nod, then turn and vanish into the darkness of the forest-
The Danse Macabre CodexGeneral Mac Arthur: Gentlemen, let's show these Japs just well flesh-and-blood gods work in a real war.
-the rocket squadrons begin laser-buzzing the kami-
-Prime falls to his knees-
IMPERIALISM... IS A LIE!
-he intercepts the next strike, grabbing the blade and sending a massive surge of electricity down the katana and into Susa-no-O's body-

-Susa-no-O growls angrily as the rocket squadrons pepper him with laser bolts and the electrical current runs through his body. The electricity is the real source of pain, the lasers an irritating afterthought. They sting, yes, they bite and draw small rivulets of divine blood, but in the end, they are still tiny ships attacking a god of the storm. And had this been any other god, he would have allowed them to strike as he crossed blades with his real foe-
-But Susa-no-O is not like other gods-
-with an enraged bellow, the storm god shoves Liberty Prime away and sweeps his free hand in an arc. Forks of lightning descend from above and towering pillars of water erupt from below to smite the gnats that vex him so, and he cuts several others in half with a single stroke from Kusanagi-
yes, he was this volatile. Just ask poor Ogetsu, the goddess of food, who he killed for giving him food like he asked her to do!

Ashe? Really? Sad Little Try-hard.Right. Enjoy having a few seconds where I'm not shooting at you, pansy.
-The man takes another shot, then legs it behind a sand dune and scarpers towards the nearest mech-
Let's see if your sensors are up to scratch, tin can...
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
-the sea begins to bubble and boil by the shores nearest Liberty Prime; from thm comes a deafening voice that is understood by all combatants-
Outsiders...you dare set foot on land that has been consecrated for the Lord of the Rising Sun?
