Skyforge
Thank you. I'll take them. I'll be back with my friends, and then we'll talk about the designs.
With that, Super Pamp leaves the forge.
Yes, we can talk about that OOC later.
Vague Winterhold
Already back, Super Pamp delivers the amulets to his partners, and talks with Joka about the wheelchair designs.
Only left Love's amulet... Where is she?
Super Mupa, another friend, answers: She said something about going to Yamato for a mission.
He points at the direction where she went. Super Pamp then jumped into his guitar, using it as a flying surf board to go there.
Some time later...
Mystic Gardens, Reprium
It's a beautiful place!
The exploration guild splits, each member going to a different cardinal point searching for an entrance. Tito goes North, Lulú goes West, Pili goes South, and Maxi goes East.
Hub Centralis-Reprium bridge
Super Pamp arrives just in time with his wife, and delivers her amulet.
Thank you, honey!
Just afterwards, the Devil Gundam appears! The couple does an combined attack: Pamp strumming his guitar while Love shouts at her microphone, going for a double sonic attack.

Three freaking ghosts!Nicole rolls her eyes.
"Oh, wow, what a great comeback. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully recover from such a sick, well-crafted burn. Heh, there's no way anyone would stand a chance in hell against that kinda wit."
Upon landing in the Mystic Gardens, Nicole begins looking around for anything out-of-place that could potentially lead her towards the hidden bunker.
Thor does a double take at the sight of Niiue's current state.
"Okay... that might take a little getting used to," he remarks. "Nevertheless, this behemoth won't claim your ship. Not if I have anything to say about it."
Turning his attention to the Gargiathan, he rapidly spins Mjolnir in front of himself to block the oncoming wave of fire, though he's still driven back a good deal. In retaliation, he unleashes a blast of lightning from Stormbringer at the hulking monster.

Strike
Gwain being a cold bitch, immediately goes for a headshot. That is, she glows with resplendent golden light and generates an array of execution beams around herself, before firing them at (and hopefully into) the Devil Gundam's head.
Investigation
Xoeur glances around for the entrance. Wait, he said it was underground. Dumbass.
"Can-should I just blow up the ground to find it...? Or is that too noisy..."
Then Thor does his EPIC THING and leaves her impressed.
"Beep bap!" Something fast, something to get you used to crazy!
The final beat starts up.
FINAL ROUND!

/\。。/\The lightning hits the beast on the side... and it does nothing.
"Oh! You need to aim at specific parts!", Alinivar says over the intercom. "Try to destroy its tentacles, mouths and eye!"
"Or the pustules.", Zarbol says.
"Ew.", Ninten says.
"Larice, assist them from above!"
With a nod, Larice teleports onto the roof of the ship with them. Meanwhile the glass window of the UFO lowers.
"Why are you lowering our one way to protect ourselves!?", Ninten asks.
"So we can fight back, Dakota!", Col. Saturn says, now brandishing two guns.
Alinivar casts PK Freeze against Gargiathan's leftmost mouth.
Col. Saturn shoots at both tentacles with his dual guns.
Zarbol sets up PSI Reflect Σ, creating a reflective shield for all allies that will reflect one attack (physical or PSI) back towards Gargiathan if they get hit.
Ninten, deciding to try something at least, starts setting up PSI Defense Up on his allies.
Larice sends out a PSI Fire of his own, striking every part of Gargiathan with the wave of fire.
Giegue's attack was inexplicable!
Creating lightning around himself, he then sends it towards Gargiathan's eye in the form of a powerful blast.
Every attack hits, causing the beast visible pain.
"Whoa, what the?"
"We don't usually do this much damage to it in one turn."
"We have Giegue and Thor now, Boing. Makes easier!"
Easier it may be, but Gargiathan is not done yet. It attacks by trying to smack Thor around with both tentacles (keep in mind that Reflect will only protect Thor against one attack), tries to bite into the side of the ship with its mouths, and has its eye perform PSI Flash Ω, trying to get either status or death onto its enemies.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The tentacle connects, smacking Thor right off the ship. Taking a moment to recover in midair, he rockets back into the fight before firing off a lighting blast at one of the Gargiathan's mouth.
"For Asgard!"
Afterwards, he glances at Ninten and the others.
"Is everyone alright?"

PK Flash fails on Giegue and Zarbol, gets a paralyzing effect reflected back by Larice's shield, gets a crying effect reflected back by Alinivar's and Col. Saturn's shield and gets a killing effect reflected back by Ninten's shield, destroying one of Gargiathan's tentacles. Since Niiue is a doll right now, the attack doesn't target him.
When Thor's lightning hits one of the mouths, said mouth closes, looking wounded.
"We're doing fine!", Ninten answers back through the intercom. "You guys keep focusing on the fight!"
Zarbol needs to recharge PP.
Larice uses another PK Fire. One of Gargiathan's pustules (double ew) is destroyed.
Alinivar uses PSI Empower, immensely buffing his allies' 'stats'.
Col. Saturn uses PSI Bolster to 'bolster' Thor's magical prowess.
Giegue's attack was inexplicable!
Giegue launches psychic flames from the heavens above. They rain down upon Gargiathan and destroy its other pustule (triple ew), as well as forcing it to close one of its mouths.
"Okay, so one mouth, one tentacle and one eye left!", Ninten says.
"Don't celebrate too soon. It's probably going to regenerate."
"It can do that!?" , Giegue asks. "Agh, kill it before it can do so!"
Gargiathan glows a little as it prepares to regenerate.
"NO-"
Ninten casts PSI Block. Gargiathan's regeneration stops. Alinivar, Col. Saturn, Larice, Zarbol, Niiue and even Giegue stare in momentary confusion and disbelief.
"That... worked?", Niiue asks.
"Huh... it was a gamble but... I guess it did."
Even Gargiathan seems to pause, eye wide open in a 'wait, what?' expression.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."oh shit it's him.", the red cat mutters as it tries to heal its wounds a little.
The creature, meanwhile, doesn't wait for Saitama to figure out and lunges at him, trying to bite into his bald head.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."... huh?", the creature mutters as it lets go of Saitama's head. With its teeth at least, it's still holding onto his head with its arms.
This may be the first time here that it's also not sounding like some enraged monster, instead sounding genuinely confused as to why Saitama's head couldn't care less about the creature's fangs.
So then it goes for plan B and tries the same punch that knocked Genos out.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The attack hits dead-on, the brute force of Mjolnir even cracking most of its teeth from that mouth.
Giegue's attack was inexplicable!
Giegue fires an extremely potent psychic blast towards the tentacle.
Then, aiming for the eye, Alinivar fires PK Freeze, Larice fires PK Fire, Zarbol launches out PK Thunder-like sparks, and Col. Saturn just shoots the fuck out of it.
All of the attacks hit, with the Gargiathan closing its eye, some tears coming out of it. Not out of sadness or anything, but because of how irritated the eye got from that bombardment.
"Now we can finish it off! Give it everything you've got, guys!"
Now the creature looks outright furious. It leans back a little, arm bent behind itself. A spiral of incredibly potent energy now starts to surround the creature, all of it swirling into its hand, focusing all the energy within a single point.
The wrecked ship starts to shake, planks breaking off and the mast about to collapse. The sky, parted it still may be, still slightly darkens above the ship. A creepy and strangely desperate-sounding chuckle escapes the creature. If its target wasn't Saitama, it would definitely be time to panic.
With a determined roar, it now flies towards Saitama, packing enough of a punch to send him flying if it connects.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The ship explodes on impact, and Saitama is gone.
Where...
Where did he go?
死
Saitama's fist stops just short of impact, the mere windshear sending shockwaves that leave a hole in the air on the other side of the creature, not to mention any solid objects in the way.
Instead of hitting it with that punch and obliterating it (if he did it would probably fuck up the timeline), he uncurls his fingers and karate-chops it in the neck, not hard enough to kill but certainly hard enough to knock it out.

Megan thought about asking Domon for a plan, but she decided that would be rather boring and wanted to get straight into the murder.
"RISE, WYVERN ESPER!"
With a snap of her fingers, her own Gundam erupted from the water below, in its default humanoid form. She leapt in, suited up, and promptly tried to get the Devil Gundam in a headlock from behind to restrain it for the others to attack.

With the presence of the sea so nearby, Rho knew right away which two summons he would want — and the sheer size of this thing lent itself particularly well to being target by a third one. His Shadespark Swarm ignited, allowing him to physically visually his summons, and, with the brand of swagger that is perhaps unique to mages who are certain what they are about to do, he grabbed a deep blue orb, an icy pale orb, and a luminous star-like orb.
Bringing his Staff Spirit and Tome Spirits to bear, he spun the staff with gusto, and gestured out towards the sea.
"Thalassian Waveguard, I call you now to defend this world! Rise, warrior of the water!

I'm not happy with this art but I'm kind of in a hurry, so I'll go with this as a placeholder.

Thranix crawled around on all fours in search of something, but didn't get anything before Thor did his neat trick.
"... I'd ask but I do actually already know the answer."
"... I refuse to ask how you know."
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalousGiegue's attack was inexplicable!
Giegue joins Thor with an enormous lightning-based attack.
Larice warps back into the ship and the Applechasers just straight-up fire the ship's laser at Gargiathan as well.
The giant creature shrieks before it starts to fall... and then freaking explodes instead of crashing into the ground.
"... That was... so much easier than it used to be!", Alinivar says.
"With our extra allies with us, Gargiathan went down like a punk.", Niiue laughs.
"Excellent. Then I can inspect my ship for damage." , Giegue says.
"Let's get a bit closer to see the outside damage first.", Zarbol says.
Niiue's ship starts to move towards Giegue's mothership. If Thor comes with them, he'll see just how massive the mothership really is compared to Niiue's ship. It's big enough that it could serve as a whole base of its own. In fact, it even looks like it could station many of Niiue's ships.
Considering Niiue's relation to Giegue, it's even possible that this ship used to be stationed there in the past.
Once they all get closer though, Thor may notice something odd. There's not too much damage on the outside, or at least no damage that can't be repaired...
But there's vines growing out of the ship.
"What in..." , Giegue softly mutters. That reaction alone should tell Thor that these vines aren't usually here.
At first the creature looks pleased, thinking it took care of Saitama, and it immediately starts to look for the cat again.
But as it looks around, it suddenly feels an aura of dread. It looks behind it and-
The frozen expression of terror that's on the creature's face right as Saitama's fist stops in front of its face says more than words ever could. It definitely realized that it was about to die if that had connected.
And then it gets karate-chopped instead, thus falling on the icy ground it had placed itself on after the ship was destroyed.
"Thank fucking god!", the cat says as it, still somewhat wounded but not as much anymore, appears besides Saitama. "He's out cold. Now I can finally catch my breath."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."You're welcome."
Saitama picks up Genos' broken body and hefts him over his shoulders.
"So... What's all this about, anyway? I think I've seen that thing's fights a few times before, but I never showed up on time to join myself."
Thor finds the electric signal quickly, and Dr. McNinja promptly throws a fucking grenade at that spot. The explosion clears away the gardens, revealing a metal trapdoor underneath which automatically slides open, as if inviting them in. Below is a chute leading into the base.
"Well... this has 'trap' written all over it, but it's better to knowingly set one off and gain something than to ignore it and lose time!" Doc jumps down the chute.

"RISE, GUNDAM!"
With his own Badass Fingersnap, Domon summons Burning Gundam.
Devil Gundam gets caught in the headlock, allowing the other attacks to batter it. They blast out chunks of metal, and Gwain's attack hits some circuitry, causing an explosion...
But within seconds, wires spew out from the damaged areas and bind together, then morph into fresh armor plating. That... is something the Culmination couldn't do, not that quickly. And it might make this all the tougher.
The weird nub-things on its shoulders open up and unleash a missile bombardment. Eva-01 is far away enough not to be targeted, but everyone else is in danger.

Now with a much better idea of what he's dealing with, Pepsiman chugs a Pepsi Holiday Spice, fire erupting from his body as he runs at the Devil Gundam. He runs past, chucking a fireball right at the machine(citation needed)'s face. The intention is to do damage, but lets be real, it probably won't do that much.
The barrage of missiles proves easy enough for him to dodge- he is very small and has accelerated movement- but it doesn't sail over his head that one good hit would definitely take him out if he isn't careful.
Yatta!HAHA! BUT YOU TOO COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME AS I DID, XOEUR OF THE STORM! Thor says, pointing at Xoeur. He also gives Nicole the finger, having proven his worth to the mission.
I MAY TEACH YOU BUT LATER! THERE MAY BE ENEMIES TO DECIMATE DOWN THERE! NAY! THERE WILL! Thor jump down after Dr. McNinja, landing in a earth-shaking manner.
He grins and hold up his hammer!

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterShinji notices the missile attack immediately, and, thinking quickly, moves EVA 01 in To tank the hits with its AT field, before opening fire with its aproximately 209 mm round spewing assault rifle. Shinji Quickly mutters to himself "That really wasn't like me to do that... but I can't back down now..." He then opens comms, saying "I'm sorry for rushing in like that, but I can't let myself be useless right now."

EVA 01, Wasting no time, Grabs a supplied rifle as its brought up from a storage building. As in, the building IS the storage for this massive, EVA manned, rifle. It aims down the sights, with Shinji calling over comms "I... I'm a bit scared, but there's no running from this fight. I'll try to get its focus. Misato would usually tell me this, but... Am I clear to fire?"
