Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Heh. Not having a weak spot just means that I'm gonna need to try a bit more to wreck it... Well, actually, I'd have a move that could punch through it but I'd need some momentum to use it. Any of ya can throw me at the head?

Zoro begins to spin his swords, and all three start to get covered in Haki. Without a doubt, he's thinking about using his legendary move, capable of almost cleaving god-like beings in half!

If he take too long to be thrown though, Zoro just blinks and keep spinning his swords. Throw me at 'em, stupid! He chides.

Thor tosses Mjolnir into the air, then smacks it towards the Quadraxis with a swing of his axe.

Loki creates an illusion of himself, which proceeds to charge headlong at the Quadraxis while he maneuvers behind the mecha in the hopes of finding a potential weak spot.

   "Sorry, dude, you didn't say the magic word!"   

Nicole moves to grab Zoro and hurl him towards the Quadraxis like a football.

"The Cyber Angels are still up there, able to attack us at a moment's notice, and this harmful atmosphere will tear you apart if you fight in this state.", Botar says to Domon. "It'd be better to wait and recover so that you can fight another day. You're strong. We will definitely need your help in the future against these types of forces, if you're willing to give it to us."

The Darklings go on the offensive again, both launching a burst of dark energy towards the Quadraxis Sanctity's head.

Mara joins in on the onslaught, throwing swords at the robot in an attempt to create at least some kind of damage. She growls when she sees how little effect they have.

   "Damnit... HUB! You're good with machines!"   , she yells at the closest crystal.    "Get over here and see if you can't help out!"   

The Dark Aura, while pushing the head back a little, has the same results as the other attacks, with it doing little. However, the combined force of the attacks does keep it in place for a moment, making it an easier target for both Zoro and Godzilla in a moment.

Loki, meanwhile, won't find any obvious weak spots. The only things that really stand out are the antenna that Mara mentioned, but as she said, they probably aren't connected to the fortress via a signal.

However, getting to close will show Loki that there's hatches for the antenna. Which means that they can be retracted. So the fact that they're out right now must mean that they're getting a signal from somewhere.

Domon shakes his head. "She told me everything. I'm not going to sit back when I can still fight!"

"You are going to sit back, Domon. An intelligent warrior knows when he is at his limit."

"!"

Domon doesn't even see who rushes past him before Master Asia suddenly lashes his Master Cloth at the Quadraxis Sanctity's head, trying to drag it down to the ground and whale on it!

To preserve dramatic tension, Domon faints from a mixture of shock and the adrenaline wearing off.

Godzilla fires his Atomic Breath full-force at Quadraxis Sanctity's head, and Dark Riku's intuition tells him to look down at the body, though he's not sure what he's 'smelling' about it.

Zoro's thrown and he spins his sword even harder, though he grit his teeth hard because the Dark Aura is causing him actual harm. However, he doesn't let mere pain (and potentially life-threatening injuries) stop him from making a little speech!

This is the pinnacle of the Santoryu fighting technique! SANTORYU OGI! ICHIDAI SANZEN DAISEN SEKAI! He slashes several times in a second, with each slash causing greater damage with each swing. The final swing is so powerful that everything in front of Zoro (apart from his target) above a certain height just get... cut down. Be it Madara's meteor, which is split in half, or several stone hills in the distance, who easily fall apart by the technique's mere shockwave.

It's so powerful that even Zoro's allies ought to be careful. At the very best, it'll damn near cut them in half!

Hub Centralis

"Well, you can try now!"

He pops what looks like a Game Boy out of seemingly nowhere.

"This machine has zero wireless capabilities. Do you think you can affect it remotely?"

Summoning his legendary hammer back to his grasp, Thor flies straight towards the Quadraxis and takes a mighty swing at the mecha with Stormbringer.

"This should make things considerably easier for us..."

Loki attempts to push the Quadraxis' antenna back into the hatches, then leaps back to avoid potentially getting caught in the crossfire.

Nicole picks up one of the two halves of Madara's meteor before trying to slam it into the Quadraxis with all her might.

"... She? Who?"

He then shakes his head.

"Unconscious... Let's hold that thought. I should get him to safety first."

He then warps himself and Domon away from the battlefield, into an unoccupied house in the Floating City.

Pushing the antenna back in won't do a thing, even though Loki does have much more strength than the average person.

Master Asia does manage to pin the head to the ground, and as he wails on it and Thor bashes it with Stormbringer, Zoro's SANTORYU OGI! ICHIDAI SANZEN DAISEN SEKAI! hits as well, the slashes not doing anything at first, but near the end visible damage is actually starting to show, and after the final cut, an actual slash mark is visible on the head plating, which the half-meteor bash that Nicole follows up with seems to make worse, the mark having become a bit bigger and wider. Finally, progress!

They'll all have to get away quickly though, as Godzilla's beam then engulfs the Quadraxis Sanctity's head, and potentially them with it if they stay too close. The head survives the beam with minimal damage though, showing that it really is tougher than the rest of the body, which always showed some damage after one of the beams hit.

Hub then warps in, but the moment he does he winces and looks pained.

   "OW! Owowow, damnit! Whichever one of you is making that sound, STOP! God, if I had blood my ears would be waterfalls of blood right now!"   

   "What? None of us are..."   , Mara says, but then realizes.

   "There IS a signal going from the head! All of you, try to find another antenna! There MUST be one nearby!"   

   "Please hurry, my head feels like it's going to pop!"   , Hub groans.

Botar and the Darklings immediately begin to search, figuring that Godzilla, who would be the least likely to actually stop attacking and look around, would be able to keep Quadraxis Sanctity busy. Mara, meanwhile, helps distract the head by throwing swords to its side, limiting its dodging range by purposely missing the head itself.

Master Asia is in the path of Zoro's final strike, but he dodges the rending windshear, receiving some clothing damage in the process and little else. What a powerful attack, he muses to himself. He leaps up above the machine's body and does a falling axe kick for anything that looks long and thin!

Godzilla continues to put the pressure on with his Atomic Breath, refusing to let up!

Dark Riku teleports down to Quadraxis Sanctity's body and searches for an antenna, using the falling slash which sends out multiple pillars of darkness, Dark Break, on it if he finds one!

"I can try, but after this I'll need to go."

42 looks down at the GameBoy? and binary code is briefly reflected in her eyes.

It starts to run Doom for a few moments before crashing, going blank. 42 seemingly winces, raising a hand up to her forehead.

"It was difficult, and I'm not sure whether my ability to do it was inherent or an effect of the augmentation."

Edited by KiriK on Aug 1st 2020 at 12:07:46 PM

Double seems perplexed.

"Very interesting... and you say you don't have a concrete explanation of how you are able to do that?"

"That machine still had some sort of port, though it required physical connection. Do you think you could affect an entirely sealed system?"

42 sighs. "I honestly don't know the answer to either of those, and right now I have other things to do. I'm sorry, but we can talk later, okay?"

Thor hurries towards the Quadraxis' body and begins searching for any sign of an antenna. Should he manage to locate one, he'll attempt to chop it in half with Stormbringer.

Loki follows suit, swinging Nightbane at any antenna he might come across.

Nicole, deciding to buy the others some time, grabs the other half of Madara's meteor before tossing both halves at the Quadraxis.

"If this thing was designed to be a total pain in the ass to fight, then I've gotta hand it to whoever its creator is. They really knocked it outta the goddamn park!"

Zoro crashes into a rock and poke his head out of the pile, barely hearing the orders to get rid of an antenna.

Huh. He grasps his three swords and then start to do the proven tactic of just hopping around and swinging his swords, in the hope of eventually hitting something!

Dark Riku, Thor and Loki will eventually find a hidden antenna underneath the Quadraxis Sanctity's body, and attacking it does a ton of damage to it. It looks like this antenna wasn't given the same kind of plating as the rest of the body. Given that it, too, comes out of a hatch, perhaps the Cyber Angels didn't even know it existed.

The antenna is nearly destroyed. Regardless, now that Hub notices they've found the source, he immediately warps out again. He doesn't want to stick around when doing so is this painful to him.

Master Asia happens to strike one of the joints leading up to the knee instead, breaking off a piece of the already badly-damaged armor. After he leaves this spot, either to attack the antenna or to bring his attention back to the head, a blue liquid begins to flow out of that broken-off part.

Meanwhile, the head is still stuck in Godzilla's beam, and Mara doesn't really feel like jumping in that beam is the best idea, so she stands to the side and waits to see what will happen. The head of Quadraxis Sanctity is holding out well inside the beam, though the bombs it tries to throw out just get vaporized the moment they're ejected, meaning that it cannot attack back.

The meteor halves hit it as well, but are then vaporized by the beam. Guess using those to do further damage is no longer an option now. And with that beam going, Zoro's swings aren't really gonna hit anything... unless he enters the beam and probably dies as a result.

Godzilla gets closer. He tries to grab Quadraxis Sanctity's head and melt its plating with his sustained Atomic Breath!

Master Asia notices the strange substance, though instead of questioning it, he just goes for the antenna, trying to wrap the Master Cloth around it and snap it off!

Dark Riku uses Dark Divide to launch a scattershot of dark fireballs all over Quadraxis' body!

Double gives 'thumbs up' before wandering off to see the magic spring.

Huh? Are they all attacking that thing? Guess it's the target! RENGOKU!

Zoro attempts to strike it with a fierce Oni Giri!

Thor and Loki go for one final slash at the antenna with their axe and sword, respectively.

Nicole reverts back to normal, glances at the others attacking the antenna, and decides to lend a hand by launching an Arcane Blast at it.

The Quadraxis Sanctity's head manages to avoid the grab and starts targeting Godzilla again, readying a devastating laser.

But that's when the combined attacks manage to destroy the antenna, and the head starts to lose its shit, shaking so wildly you'd swear it was about to fall apart as the upper plating suddenly shatters into a million pieces. Mara grins.

   "Go for the kill!"   , she yells to let everyone know now is the time to strike, then grows her other arms so that each of them can draw and throw blades at the head.

The Darklings immediately unleash streams of fire at the head.

Botar tries to warp everyone close to the main body closer to the head. Not just so that they can immediately attack, but also because more and more sparks start running across the main body, and Botar worries it might explode.

"Your Majesty! They're about to destroy the Quadraxis! What are your orders?" , one of the Soldiers asks. The Queen doesn't immediately respond, appearing conflicted.

"Your Majesty? What should we do? Should we fight?" , an Officer asks. The Queen sighs, closes its eyes and turns around.

"This battle is lost. Retreat."

"Without the robot?"

"It's of no use to us as a head."

"Very well, your Majesty."

The fortress starts to leave the area, though as it does the Queen leans slightly out of the window, aiming for the robot with the Staff of Navitus. As it glows, both the main body and the head glow a little as well, though that glow quickly dims, and only a second or two later, the Queen already goes back inside.

"What did you do, your Majesty?"

"I reclaimed the energy I lent it. No use in wasting it with the robot's demise."

After that, the fortress starts returning to the spot it originally landed in. Which means there won't be anything stopping the group from finishing off the Quadraxis Sanctity.

At some point, the Deliderp must've let go of the bridge, because as the fortress retreats, it's not hanging onto it anymore.

Godzilla finally runs out of breath and falls backwards, unconscious.

Master Asia's hand glows purple. "Darkness... FINGER!!" He lunges to slam his hand on the Quadraxis' head and tear a hole through it with his energy!

Dark Riku smirks.    "Not a chance!"    He unleashes a Thundaza, sending bolts of godlike magical lightning raining down upon the Quadraxis Sanctity's head!

42 bows. 「お別れ。」

Her body then falls limp as the cables retract to the real 42, and the spare body soon melts away into nothing.

Edited by KiriK on Aug 1st 2020 at 1:20:35 AM

What the? Meh. One last time. UI! TORA GARI!

He launch a potent downward attack with all three of his blades!

After the brothers are warped away from the body by Botar, Thor sends a lightning blast from both Mjolnir and Stormbringer arcing through the air towards the Quadraxis while Loki fires a beam alongside him.

Nicole launches a couple Arcane Blasts at the Quadraxis.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Aug 1st 2020 at 1:30:43 AM

They'll probably feel a good bit of catharsis when every single attack they use ends up visibly damaging the Quadraxis Sanctity's head more and more.

After everyone has attacked it, it basically looks like metal roadkill at this point, and slowly hovers back to the main body, where it crashes on top of it and deactivates, sparks running over it... and then explodes.

   "And that's the end of that."   , Mara says, grinning in a pleased manner as she turns back to her 'human skin' form, her body seemingly turning into energy as said 'skin' literally grows around her. ... it's kinda disturbing to witness actually, and maybe the way she can change back to that form would have been better left a mystery.

   "Alright, Botar! You can send us back now."   , William says, and Botar, nodding, teleports the Darklings away. As he does this, Mara glances at Godzilla.

   "... so what do we do about that?"   

"I hope you're not thinking of killing it.", Botar says, eyes narrowed.

   "What? No! But it's unconscious and lying out in the open. After it helped us, shouldn't we try to get it somewhere safe?"   

Botar stares at her.

   "... what?"   

"... I didn't figure you'd care about what happens to it."

   "I suppose that's a fair assumption to make. But not a correct one. We should get it to safety."   

Godzilla cracks an eye open, and 42 pops up moments later.

"Nuclear radiation will heal and strengthen Godzilla quickly. It would be easier to let him move on his own than to try and carry him."

"You're welcome, by the way."

"Hmph." Master Asia glares at Botar before zooming off.

Dark Riku gives 42 an interesting look.

Alright, phew... Time to catch up to that fortress. See ya.

Zoro then begins to confidently run the other direction, away from the Fortress, even when he checked to see where it was.
