Enter the Arena... As Your Avatar (v4)!

H simply gasps in shock at her HI-Lasers getting absorbed before she rather angrily summons for reinforcements.

   I need Scavengers ASAP! I'm not taking any chances with this unknown!   

A portal above the two dogfighters opens up and zooming out of it are a pair of sleek, bird-like robots◊ and with baleful, electronic howls they scream towards the Radiant Silvergun and blast it with a flurry of plasma bolts, pulse lasers and micro missiles.

It's gone Because I'm kind of tired and I don't want to accidently fall asleep like last time, Devil Psyco..

Did the Paras get away from the Power bomb?

So you're going to sleep? Or are you staying and just not fighting?

The TSA-X ceases fire and sees the two air fighters. It begins to fire at them instead.

The Power Bombs explode, destroying the TSA-X's and reducing them to X Parasites. The Paras got away in time, but the parasites suddenly go after them...

The Paras and their APC have almost gotten to the other side of the facility in their mad dash to save their own metallic skins. But seeing the X-Parasites come after them, they proceeded to blast them out of the sky with their laser weapons.

H dodges the TSA-X's fire and growling in vexation, she bombards it with several missiles from her hoverbike; not really keen on breaking visual contact from the Radiant Silvergun.

The Paras that landed on the outskirts eventually get close to the facility, carting various heavy weapons like Laser machine guns, missile launchers, grenade launchers and two are even carting around a Tripod-mounted Plasma Cannon.

The X Parasite actually gain on them and... pass them. They just fly over them. Clearly they were headed for something else...

The Silvergun backs up and starts trying to evade the Scavenger's plasma shots, some of them connecting.

The ship then fires a number of shots, some of them small flashing balls of energy that home in on the Scavengers, and others blue balls that shoot to the side, exploding and possibly destroying any incoming missiles and Scavengers in Buster's blind spot.

As for the pulse laser, he simply whips out the Radiant Sword, absorbing a good amount of energy.

However, until now, Buster had failed to notice the X-Parasites onboard the ship. Frantically targeting with the scheme, the holographic targeting reticles appear once again, highlighting the X-Parasties. Streams of yellow energy spew from the back of the ship, aimed for the unwanted stowaways.

@Black Mage Anolis: You do realize some X Parasites are attached to your ship and are trying to get through to kill its driver, right?

edited 11th Dec '14 6:34:44 AM by DevilPsyco

The Scavenger duo evade the homing shots with inhuman skill and precision, seeing that the unknown was distracted, H goes in for a cheap shot by firing literal storm of missiles from her hoverbike and back at the Radiant Silvergun before taking careful aim at the arm holding the ship's sword and firing with her Laser cannons in an attempt at disarming it.

Even if they were not the targets, the Paras and the APC still try to destroy as many as they can.

While some X Parasite are destroyed, the remaining X Parasite arrive at the main battle area and fuse with the TSA-X. But instead of growing, it returns to its normal size.

However... it gains an ability more precious than size.

The SA-X gains the ability to hover like the parasites and flies straight at H to try and shoot him, knowing that the ship is under attack by its brethren already.

There is no arm holding the ship. It's just an energy blade.

The swarm of missiles are easily evaded, and some are destroyed using the ship's Spread shots. The blade then swipes down, absorbing most of the laser fire.

EDIT:Forgot about the missiles. >

I'm starting to think you're ignoring the X on purpose now. They're almost through.

Distracted by her sniping attempt, the TSA-X manages to hit H's hoverbike, blowing off one of its engines and sending it spiraling uncontrollably to the ground.

   Chikusho...!   

H manages to recover from her dive and thanks to her machine nature, was able to stabilize and adjust for the destroyed engine and damage before she gets closer to ground level and flies into the facility, not wanting to fight the TSA-X while the odds were in its favor.

The Scavengers further assail the Radiant Silvergun with plasma shots and micro missiles, having learned that laser fire is absorbed by the thing's damned sword.

H fired several missiles at the R.S as well Anolis.

@Devil PsycoI edited the other post. Just scroll up. And I though that they all went back to SA-X. If they didn't, I'll edit it again.

Since it's absorbed so many parasites let's call it the Final Samus Aran X.

The FSA-X follows H into the facility, firing Ice Missiles at him.

Meanwhile, the X Parasites are destroyed by the ship's yellow energy. However, it should have been damaged at least a little, seeing as the Parasites went unnoticed for some time.

Ok, you've caught up now.

edited 11th Dec '14 6:48:02 AM by DevilPsyco

It did damage it, as did the yellow shots. The shields have dropped some since the X-Parasites' "invasion."

Back to the Scavengers, the Silvergun seems to have a hard time avoiding the plasma shots, the front shields' integrity dropping rapidly. Firing up a set of four blue sight lasers, it takes aim at the Scavengers and fires four bolts electricity at the birdbots, arcing through some of the missiles as well, the others taken out with some Spread shots.

Two missiles hit, however.

"Shit."

H uses the buildings and various ground hazards to defend against the ice missiles by forcing them to fly into them. Contacting the Paras in the facility proper, she tells them to not shoot on sight as the risk of friendly fire was too great.

   Hey, idiots! I've got the enemy on my tail and I want you to fire on my command!   

The Paras and the APC wait... And once H darts right over them, they receive her signal and unleash hell upon the pursuing FSA-X.

The Scavengers attempt to dodge, one was fast, agile and lucky enough to dodge; the other gets fried, causing its engines to die and sending it diving towards the roof of the main facility, out of action for the time being. Seeing this, the still-airborne Scavenger screeches in outrage before rocketing straight towards the Radiant Silvergun, firing its pulse lasers to force it to use its sword a moment before impact.

The FSA-X keeps following and shoots out more at H.

Pseudo Porky's tv then appears and attaches itself to the FSA-X's armor.

"He-he-he... your transmissions aren't safe for me. A trap, huh? Well then..."

The tv shines and creates a forcefield around the FSA-X. Shots fired from inside still get through however.

Cooperation between villains for a change. Now it's getting more difficult.

edited 11th Dec '14 6:57:53 AM by DevilPsyco

The Silvergun holds the energy blade in front of it, absorbing the lasers and potentially skewering the remaining Scavenger.

To hell with the shields, Buster thinks.

edited 11th Dec '14 6:59:35 AM by BlackMageAnolis

Eventually, the FSA-X's shots bring H's hoverbike crashing into the ground, but the bot herself managed to bail out and land on the asphalt with a rough tumble. Seeing their superior in trouble, the Paras and the APC moves in to support her, all while firing as much as they can at the FSA-X.

The Scavenger, going far too fast to evade; instead accelerates further, hoping that its remains will have enough momentum to damage the R.S and so it is sliced in half by the sword.

The force field created by Pseudo Porky blocks their fire and the FSA-X stops following, hovering in place, and shoots out Power Bombs, making them land a bit further than where the enemies are hiding. If they don't run, the bombs will kill them. If they do run, the FSA-X will try to snipe them. What would they do now...

Rather than running, the Paras and APC keep shooting at the FSA-X with their weapons; their goal to distract it while H runs away to a safer spot.

The FSA-X's forcefield fades and it gets hit but isn't damaged too much thanks to the absorbation of hundreds of parasites.

Then, the Power Bombs detonate.
