(Miyu waits for an opportunity to slash him from behind, eyeing the Gunther-Caster situation as well as the Demotte occupying him)
(and then the THUD from the Citadel occurs)
(her instincts overwrite her fears - as she slashes at Shielder's back with a diagonal cross the instant right after the thud)
(Demotte manages to close the gap and peg the distracted, angry Shielder in the forearm with her knife.)
GHHHHHAAAAAAAHHH—!
(Rin manages to tear away enough at the cocoon to escape, but the rest of it comes flying at her face and tries to knock her upside the head as she drops.)
(Gunth has a final, particularly violent seizure before going completely limp and being pulled back to Shielder's side.)
(The now-landed Citadel takes blow after blow, but it doesn't seem to be harming its structure much, if at all...)
(It looks like Miyu's slash is going to connect and rip those stupid gay silken pajamas up good, but then...)
(FWOOSH! Shielder himself is enveloped in a hard-light cocoon and rapidly floats towards the great tower.)
You fucking dipshits are going to have to do one better than that!
(Its great door yawns open as Shielder and his Master head right for it.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Some silent understanding passes between the two of them-
-Tallis ceases fire, cannons whining as they cool off-
-Julie's cannon-hands reform into actual hands, and she stands all the way up-
-Then bends her knees down-
-And fucking leaps as high as she can, trying to grab hold of a ledge by the door and physically block their path-
(The swords manage to lodge themselves in the thick veil of hard light enveloping Shielder, but cannot get to his flesh.)
(Julie's basketball leap is heroic, but the surface of the Citadel's wall is so sheer and smooth, she finds no such ledge and comes falling back down before she can block the two from entering.)
(Everyone who enters the Citadel will find that it's kinda... not such a fun place, or a happy one
◊.)
(Once inside, Shielder's stupid fucking shields finally pitter out, and he just does a frantic Dr. Wily run into a tubular, futuristic elevator with Günther limply crumpled over his shoulder.)
...I really—... God, I don't have any more words for any of you disgusting troglodytes! This just pisses me off so badly, your ignorance... Fuck you all, you especially, Miyu, and I hope you enjoy my Citadel, because it will be your final resting place!
(Elevator go uuuuuuup!)
(And oh, eheheh... You guys have company,
a lot of it.)
HALT.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019

-The mechs are pretty fucking gigantic, but even they falter and stumble as the Citadel crashes into the ground-
-Julie stumbles harder than Tallis does, but manages not to fall down, stabilizing herself with one of her arms-
-Starts to point her yawning maw of a cannon right at Shielder, but Miyu and Demotte are right there, so she hesitates and doesn't fire-
-Tallis's frontal armor is cleanly punched through by the hard light panels, but the deeper, tougher superstructure sponges the hits-
-Missile pods pop out of her shoulders and then discharge, sending a barrage of Standard High Explosive Missiles at the tower's midsection-
