"I appreciate your bravado." They said, standing up.
"But I think you're really barking up the wrong tree. Can't tell you why, but something here isn't right."
Walking around Roger and his machine, they continued.
"Trust me, I believe you that something up there could, conceivably, kill us all if it wanted to. Hell, there's enough around here to make any true skeptic a believer. Monsters, ghosts, spirits, vampires. But take it from someone who's been here more than their fair share, I think you're barking up the wrong tree somewhere in all of this. Something's...janky."
[forum cryptid: it/it's]... Maybe. But if it were your planet and everyone you know on the plate, you wouldn't be keen on rolling those dice blind.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Previously, on Gundam Vanguard,
~CrystalMemoria, ~Randomman5...)
I know, just gimme— Got it!
(They're now able to listen in to Leos's comm channels.)
Leos and Cross VS -EX-
Get off! You will not stop from achieving my destiny!
(The Extreme Gundam Mk-II deploys some wire-guided hoops from its shoulders that hook into the Skell's plating, and starts burning the armour around it by building up energy orbs from the hooks.)
Are you mad?! I can't shoot if you're there, Cross!
(He commands his funnels to form two four-point-star-like beam emitters, but doesn't pull the trigger yet.)
Typical, Leos Alloy. You're gifted, but your compassion holds you back from truly protecting the Princess of Truth! Once I am done with this place, she will be my queen, and together, we will rule humanity!
Team Elma VS Team Dark
(The bazooka shot fired from Sesto misses, and the Gundam X is pulled to the ground, where it crashes with a noticeable impact. Sesto, for her part, is exerting all her Gundam's strength to try and retaliate, but it's proving difficult.)
Move, Gundam X...
(Nono, meanwhile, has her drones crash from not maintaining the shield and her Akatsuki Gundam is also pulled to the ground.)
So... forceful!

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Leos and Cross VS. -EX- (Aichi)
-WHAT?!-
-Cross can't expect Leos to...!-
-And Aichi doesn't want for Cross to sacrifice himself. He tried once before, and Aichi doesn't WANT him to try again!-
<Please, Cross! There has to be another way!>
-But alas, no one can hear him anyway...-
—
Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
-Good. They can listen in on Leos's comm channels now...-
-However, that doesn't stop Aichi in his bonded state from quoting Leos.-
"...Are you mad...?! I can't shoot if you're there, Cross...!"
-...It was probably really weird hearing Aichi and Leos say that at basically the exact same time.-
-Meanwhile Misaki can't believe that Cross is trying to get himself killed again.-
-It actually ticks her off a good amount. She told him before that he has people that care about him.-
"Cross..."
-Really, she just wants everyone to come back safe. Why does Cross seem to come up with these suicidal plans...?-
-As for what -EX- said...-
"...Sthesia, you said you worked with him?"
-Hard to believe she worked with someone that apparently wants to rule over humanity...-
"..."
-...Surely he wasn't always like this, right?-

Leos and Cross vs -EX-
-Omega refuses to let go, even while the Mk. II’s weapons begin to burn through its armor-
“I’ll be fine! Leos, take the damn shot!”
Team Elma vs Team Dark
-As the Antimatter-R’s gravitational force holds the Mobile Suits down, the team of Skells concentrate fire on their crucial components-
-Limbs, weapons and propulsion systems are targeted to ensure the mechs won’t be getting back up-
“This is gonna be a bit more than a love tap, you flirty psychopath!”

(Sthesia looks at Misaki, with a concerned look on her face.) I did... yeah. He seemed nice, though, even if I heard rumours about how he was nearly deleted for... fighting against a rogue program? I don't know the details, honestly.
(sigh) We worked together on figuring out how to decrypt General Answer's data...
(Yeah, you can probably guess what happened there.)
Leos and Cross VS -EX-
(He laughs as he continues burning the armour.) How amusing! This automaton thinks that he can hold me with this pathetic excuse for a Mobile Suit! Well, "Cross," you've been made obsolete!
(Just as he prepares a striking blow with his Tachyon Slicer blade-shield, Leos takes a deep breath, readies the targeting system and pulls the trigger.)
Sorry, Cross. Funnels! Fire!
(And thus, the combined funnels fire two large particle beam blasts
◊, intending to blow the Mk-II to pieces.)
Team Dark VS Team Elma
You... Nono...
(Nono understands, and while their Gundams are being battered, Nono's DRAGOONs attempt to sneak past the Skells, and target their backpacks.)
Oh, my, heh, haven't you heard of playing nice, girlie?
(They shoot.)

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."~G2BattleConvoy ~CrystalMemoria
Leos vs -EX-
"...Nice shot, man...see ya later.
"
-The blasts strike Omega (and presumably the Mk.II) dead-on, Omega's Bind field doing nothing to stop them...as the Skell violently explodes-
Team BLADE vs Team Dark
-Elma was absolutely expecting something like that, her Skell launching drones (much like Cross's) to counter the Dragoons...as she spots Omega's explosion from a distance-
"Was that...?"
"Cross? Cross! Come in, status report! ...Cross?"
-Since they're all patched into Cross's comms, all Elma, Alexa, L, Leos and Sthesia hear is...static-

~G2BattleConvoy and ~Randomman5.
Leos and Cross VS. -EX- (Aichi)
-Aichi feels anger and hatred towards -EX-... Brainwash Residue isn't holding that down anymore.-
-It can't when -EX- so cruelly mocked Cross like that... and is taking pleasure in hurting so many people...!-
-Wait, Leos is really going to...?!-
-No... No, no, no, no, no!-
<Cross, no!>
-L-Leos is going to shoot...-
-...-
-...There's... There's nothing Aichi can do...-
<You've got your friends back home... You can't do this...!>
-...Is... Cross not going to make it out of this...?-
-He keeps silently pleading for his powers to show him another image. An image of all of them making out of this alive, but...-
-...There's nothing...-
<...>
-Aichi feels absolutely horrible about this. He doesn't want his friend to have to sacrifice himself...-
-...-
-...Why...? Why is Aichi so worthless?!-
—
Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
-He seemed nice, and worked together with Sthesia to decrypt General Answer...-
-...The way he spoke about Sthesia earlier...-
"...Sthesia..."
-...Misaki is unsure of if she should say anything about that...-
"..."
"...S-Sorry, Cross... Funnels...! Fire...!"
-...It sounded more like a fusion of the two for the first sentence (Especially since it seems like Aichi's actually getting upset even in his weird trance-like state), but it switches back to Leos for the last part.-
—
Leos and Cross VS. -EX- (Aichi)
-No, no, no, no, no, no!-
<CROSS!>
-Aichi's eyes (...You understand) widen in horror as the shot blasts through.-
-No... Cross...!-
<Cross! Please respond! Please! Please!>
-...But... nothing...?-
<...No...>
-...-
-He's crying, but... he's not physical right now...-
—
Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
-Suddenly tears begin rolling down Aichi's face, even through the trance.-
"...O-Omega... has... fallen..."
-Oh yeah, it's clear that he's shaken badly by this.-
-Misaki's eyes widen in horror.-
"...C-Cross..."
-...-
"...You idiot!"
-Misaki's actually being rather loud (for her, at least) now. She finds herself unable to contain this.-
-She sounds extremely... upset, to say the least.-
-After that talk she and him had...-
"I told you that you have people that care about you! What were you thinking?!"
-...Wait, calm down, Misaki... Calm down...-
-She stops, and takes a deep breath, trying to focus and calm down.-
-...This can't be it, right? Maybe Cross is still out there... Maybe he miraculously survived like the previous fight...-
"..."
-But... The way he spoke at that last second...-
-...It sounded like Cross didn't expect to make it out...-
"..."
-...Just... keep it together, Misaki...-
-...She hasn't dealt with loss (or the idea of it) like this since then... all those years ago...-
-Sure, she saw it happen to Cross before, but he was quickly revealed to be alive. It was different then, and...-
-...In the case of Aichi... Misaki tried so hard to force herself to believe that they wanted him alive. Of course she was right, but still... She wouldn't have know what to do if they killed him.-
-And the Carnage Rephaser... She was concerned about Leos, but she had to stay focused on that pilot... Sesto. The way she was speaking to Sthesia...-
-...But still...-
-It's clear that Misaki's been working to keep herself together for throughout all of these fights, but each one has been wearing away at her...-
-And finally something really got to her.-
-The idea of losing people she cares about still affects her so deeply... Something she fears.-
-She hadn't even entirely realized it herself...-
-...Sthesia, Misaki's actually very upset about this... She's usually so strong in the face of this stuff, but...-
-...In the end Misaki has been affected by these battles. Not quite like Aichi has been, but still in her own way...-

Basement (Tercero)
-Tercero walked down to the basement so he could punch some of the punching bags, but found himself stopping and staring at Nephew with a mildly perplexed expression.-
"...The heck are you doing?"
-What's he so cheery about for that matter?-
Edited by CrystalMemoria on Oct 18th 2018 at 8:40:16 AM
Main Room (Amnesiac Aichi)
-Aichi was looking through his deck while sitting on the couch when he hears the music.-
"...?"
-He begins looking around, trying to find the source of the music.-
—
Basement (Tercero)
-He's making bombs?!-
"...Just as long as you don't use them on me, Egghead, or my brothers then go ahead."
-...Oh, hey. He's perfectly chill with the idea of BOMBS being made in the basement.-
-After all, Zwei makes all sorts of weird crap all the time.-
-What's this... what, 15 year old looking kid doing being so chill about some guy making bombs?!-
-And then Nephew goes off and starts getting in Kora's personal space.-
"Uhhhhhhhh, dude? How about you get outta her personal space?"
"Please get out of my face before I punch you in the throat."
-Aichi, it looks like...a girl!-
-With purple hair!-
-Dancing!
-
-In a ridiculous outfit!-
Main Room (Amnesiac Aichi)
-Aichi actually has to double take when he sees the girl dancing.-
-...-
-...W-What is she wearing?!-
-He starts getting a bit red.-
-Y-You should only wear that type of thing at the beach...!-
-Aichi's trying to get himself to look away, but it's extremely difficult for some reason.-
-Her movements are a tad... hypnotizing.-
-...So yeah, he's gawking at Shantae whether he likes it or not.-
—
Basement (Tercero)
-Tercero starts getting irritated.-
"She'd better punch him..."
-And then he actually speaks up to Nephew, still very annoyed.-
"OI! Don't blow off the Great Tercero!"
-...Wait, 'psycho sister'?-
-And the lady agreed with it???-
"Wait, wait, wait! 'Psycho sister'? That's, uh... quite a reputation you've got there, lady."
-...It is uncertain of whether that was a snarky comment, a compliment, or both.-

Give me twenty minutes. Wait no, let's be realistic. Thirty.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
