PLOT: Refined Shell battle!

Who: Open!
What: Crustacean commotion. CRAB BATTLE.
When: 26th September, daytime
Where: Las Vegas, flooded area and surroundings
Warnings: Violence. If your thread requires more warnings, please note them in your comment header!


[ At eleven AM, a pulsing shockwave resonates throughout Las Vegas. Seemingly coming from somewhere deep underground, the ripple of force doesn't last long - but that doesn't mean that it isn't strong enough to make any nearby reincarnates stumble or fall.

The quake that happens soon afterwards is much stronger. Unlike the last, it seems to rumble on and on... until it reaches its crescendo with the emergence of a monstrous pink crabster from beneath the recently-flooded area of the city. A miniature tsunami accompanies the 300-foot behemoth, further damaging the surroundings not already levelled by the flooding and the quakes.

It doesn't take long for Refined Shell to get its bearings and begin its rampage. Everything within range can expect to be swiped at, stamped on or crushed between its pincers in its mindless rage.

You might say it seems to be feeling a touch... crabby. ]

[Even positioned as he is, Neil can't help but take notice of the incoming blow to the Virtue. He acts, then, purely on instinct. He casts a glance to his sister, and int he next instant the Gundam is moving - GN Particles lift it effortlessly, throwing it into the fray. Namely, throwing it in front of the Virtue.

The next moment is a blur to Neil, really. He can see the damned thing coming for them first hand, as time has not allowed him to raise the hatch back. Which gives the claw something easy to latch onto. Tear into. It rips into the Dynames, and takes a piece of the Gundam's side straight out of it - though not before it gets a solid shot from the sniper rifle, right between the eyes. It deflects upwards, above everyone, but it is enough to blind the beast for a moment, making it reel back as the Gundam drops to the ground with a heavy, earth shattering thud.]

[ It all happened at once.

Red became black and within seconds, moment of clarity became shaded in crimson as Eugen realized what Neil had done for him. He was about to yell for the elder pilot when he felt the pull of an echo and Neil's name died in his mouth from the shock of the memories.

Flashing in his eyes were a replay of what just happened, only it took place in space. Tieria's scream of agony rang loudly in his mind, before the scene changed into one where a one-eyed Lockon tried to encouraged an upset Tieria. However it was the next memory that tore his heart out, and it was then that he finally figured out what that memory was all about.

"Lockon. Lockon."

Those memory, that previous echo, they all rang in his mind, blanketing him with a sense of dread and agony. No. No. Neil mustn't end up like Lockon. No. He promised him, he would keep him safe. ]


LOCKON!!! NEIL!

[ In his state of panic, he grabbed Dynames and hurriedly drag it further away from the monster, out of harm's way. Amy all but forgotten... ]

[the sight of the Dynames, her brother's Gundam, going down snapped Amy out of her paralysis. She gazed, in horror, at the scene in front of her. It lay there before them, damaged, her brother's life in danger, and all she could think of was to run forward, screaming "no no no" repeatedly in her mind. She had to get to him... she had to get him out of there before he could be killed...]

Goddammit, don't worry about me!

[The voice rings out, audio only, as the Dynames raises an arm and shoves back against the Virtue from where its laying. With rising smoke and torn metal, the cockpits lights have gone out, and its inner video is obviously shot to hell by now. He sounds to be in considerable pain, the effort to shout something coherent and not scream coming across rather clearly. But through gritted teeth, he continues.]

You can't... drag this stupid thing out of here without abandoning the battlefield, and that... is not happening, you get me?! You've got... rrgh... the biggest weapon here... Use it, 'cause that thing is not gonna just lay down and die! [A breath, which comes out slowly.] A soldier's gotta focus on the fight first, man... Like it or not, s'long as you're in that thing... that's what you are, and any soldier who puts their boots on the ground knows what they're risking... Especially when there's hundreds of thousands of other lives hanging by a thread...

Fight. Prove to those assholes out there doubting us that we're here for a reason.

NO!

[ Hearing the pain in Neil's voice is enough to tell him that there's no way he'll let the Dynames pilot remained in the battlefield. He doesn't care if Neil hits him later but right now, there's nothing more important than his safety.He won't let him die like Lockon did. ]

I don't care! I'm not a soldier! I won't let you die, Neil.

[ And he continues to try dragging Dynames away, not letting the arm disrupt his effort. When he notices Amy from one of his screens, he's momentarily distracted. ]

Amy, be careful!

[Amy freezes as her brother's voice rings out, her hand clenching into a fist. She feels so powerless, so completely useless in this situation... so much that she can't bring herself to move her feet]

N-Neil...

[his words resound in her head, and she can't help but force herself to take a step forward. Tears stream down her face, though they're unnoticeable with how wet it is. She takes a few more steps, and... eventually breaks into a run, doing what she can to head for cover.

Everything she wants right now is to be safe. To take herself and her brother away from this battlefield. But she knows... she knows she's in the way, and Neil is already hurt badly because of her.

All she can do is honor his words, and fight... even if her personal fight is to get out of the way. And then she calls out, with her as much breath in her lungs]


Eugen... LISTEN TO HIM! Don't... you have to keep fighting, Eugen!

...it's fine, Eugen.

[The voice is quiet enough coming through the radio, but still there.] This isn't... like that asshole. It won't be.

[There's a prolonged pause, and the Dynames is very still for a moment, before there's a grunt.] It was pointless for him to die. He was angry. He wanted someone to die.

If I could protect people... My sister where he couldn't... That's enough, man.

[The Dynames shoves against Virtue again, and he's beginning to sound... very tired, words slowing considerably.] Eugen... let me see my sister.

[ The fight be damned, the only thing he's fighting for at this moment is Neil's safety and life. It's bad enough that he gets hurt for him, Eugen isn't planning to let Neil die because of it too. ]

You're not dying! I'll take you to the hospital!

[ Somewhere deep inside his heart, he's really afraid that Neil might not make it. So even if he wants to get him to the hospital, he reluctantly stops when Neil made his request. At a fairly safe spot, he helps position the Dynames so it's sitting down before holding a mechanical hand out for Amy to climb on. At this point, Eugen feels like getting out of his own cockpit too but how else is he going to let Neil see her? Should he call the ambulance? His thoughts are all jumbled up. ]

Hurry... hurry up, Amy...

[... Amy stops, and silently nods, walking forward. She climbs into Tieria's gundam's hand, and, her entire body shaking, allows herself to be moved to where Neil can see her]

N-Neil... I...

[Amy can't form the words. There's so much she wants to say right now, but all she can do is stammer and choke on her own phrasing

... There is one thing she can say, at least. Something she never said enough]


Neil... brother... I love you... I-I...
