Mitsuki blinks from his statement and quickly made a conclusion. "Oh, I see. That means you're one of other M/ECA warrior. Am I right?"
She kep staring Disturbed's eyes plus a smile in a lovely way, waiting for his answer.
Bill walked up to a small cannon"An upgraded lava cannon.Uses less heat to fire,while causing the target to overheat quicker.Very good."He took it off the shelf and went to the cashier.
"Good day Bill."The cashier,a blue dragon,said.
"How much does it cost?"
"2000$."
"Here's the money."Bill said as he handed the dragon the money."Goodbye."He walked out of the store as the weapon was beamed away.
Serra pushed another button after one of the missiles impacted, she hadn't been fast enough, but she caught it before the other five missiles impacted. She re-targetted and sent the missilies around.
"Weyr, look for a weak spot around the barrier, quick" she said as she controlled the missiles, which surrounded Tachikaze like flies.
The controls beeped, before it showed the enemy M/ECA's shield parameters, which were obviously shown stronger than usual. However, barriers were made to be broken, and any would have some sort of weak point. "On the back?" she whispered. Without a doubt, since she trusted Weyr's analyzing systems, she guided the last five missiles to Tachikaze's back, the five delaying to reach, but three impacting almost immediatly.
Tachikaze overballanced and fell forward, the missles detonating against his sheilds. "Tachikaze *cough cough* status report..."
"Systems critical. Total power level 35% and dropping. Multiple sheild emitter failures."
"no good news huh?" He muttered, groaning as he stumbled to his feet. that's when he noticed the other missles still circling him. "Tachikaze; hypothetical scenario."
"State perameters"
"Missles are circling; Given current system status, can Tachizake execute Intercept.exe?"
"...Affirmative. Intercept program can be triggered with a 76.54% chance of successful execution"
"Perfect. Prepare for Intercept program and engage on my mark" Andrew said, tensing for the remaining missles to strike.
"Crap" Serra made Weyr step back and grip his scythe tightly. The missiles acting a bit weird, instead of going to Tachikaze's back, they seemed to lose route and each of them crashed against each other, resulting into a huge dusty explosion, in which Weyr had disappeared from sight.
Tacikaze stumbled back on its feet, wobbling slightly as it did. It looked around, trying to get a fix on the missiles.
"Tracer threats neutralized." the M/ECA's operating system droned. Andrew blinked, more than a little confused.
"Odd... must've been a faulty tracer or something." He deduced, having not even engaged the Intercept program. "Tachikaze, stand down on previous vocal command."
"Intercept.exe removed from standby command." The computer droned in reply. Andrew needed a counterattack, fast, and he was rapidly running out of options. For now, he slid down the side of the dune, taking cover behind the sandy embankment.
"Tachikaze, hypothetical scenario" he said finally. "Plasma blade has been rendered inoperable. How long would it take your self-repair program to identify the damage and repair it?"
"Data insufficient. Time of repair cannot be estimated without specific information regarding the damage sustained."
"Can you estimate the power drain?"
"Affirmative."
"Is it possible under currect conditions?"
"Possible, but inadvisable. Tachikaze's remaining power level would drop to 10%, leaving it in critical condition."
"Options?"
"EPS" Andrew blinked. He wasn't familiar with that term; but then again, he was never in this critical a condition.
"Elaborate."
"Emergency Power Shunt. Energy from the Exertion Engine is routed into Tachikaze's EED instead of a specific system or Exertion Technique Program. Warning: EPS carries a 35% chance of melting core components from potential overload, and 10% chance of EED failure."
"EED Failure?"
"Correct. The Nuclear battery would rupture, resulting in total M/ECA detonation and a 100% chance of pilot fatality." Andrew winced. He hated those odds, and he still hadn't found a way to get the computer to stop quoting them at him.
"Fine. How long will it take to execute the Emergency Power Shunt?"
"...approximately 1 minute, 32 seconds, Terran Standard Time. All but core systems will be shut down during this time." Not exactly a quick maneuvre. and no weapons or sheilds to boot.
"Why the delay?"
"Systems must be cushioned to prevent melting of components and EED failure."
"Any way to speed things up?"
"...Affirmative. EPS wait time could be reduced to One Terran minute."
"Execute." Andrew barked, leaping out from behind the dune. All he had to do was stop from being hit for another minute, all without sheilds or weapons of any kind.
Disturbed nodded "Yeah I have a M/ECA suit back at the house and yes I do fight in it," he said before waving a paw "But dont worry I only fight in sanctioned battles no stealing each other's parts just honest battles between fighters in a tournament for prize money and the championship."
As the dust cleared, Weyr wasn't in his former position anymore, neither on a vision line.
"Strike to the reactors!" Serra gave a war cry. Weyr pulled the blade of his scythe back and suddenly he slashed from behind of Tachikaze while he and Andrew took times divising strategies and calculated. (OOC: Hope they were doing that if I read right- I so suck at commands)
OOC: Yeah, pretty much...
tachikaze turned, looking at the dune he'd hjust been hiding behind as Weyr's scythe cut through it, sending sand and melted glass spraying in every direction. "Tachikaze! Update!"
"32 seconds until EPS."
"Fuckaduck..." he muttered, and made a run for it, praying Weyr didn't have any fast-moving ranged weapons left.
As he flew back over the barrens, Valek's sensor array gave a gentle *ping*. "What is it?"
"Nearby M/ECA in critical condition."
It holographically displayed Tachikaze's wireframe, little red pointers indicating the damage.
"What's this strange energy signature?"
"An attempted Emergency Power Shunt."
"What's caused this damage?"
The display changed to the Weyr. "I see. Looks like they were going at it. Project pilot survival."
Valek responded immediately with chilling coldness. "If EPS is successful, then 46%. If EPS is unsuccessful and EED failure or rupture occurs, then 0%."
"Guess we'd better step in." He hit dialied in a frequency and transmitted to him. "McDonald. You look like you're in rough shape. Need a hand?" Activating stealth mode and blazing toward the damaged M/ECA, Valek's cold fingers wrapped around the beam scythe, the other hand grabbing an enhanced kunai.
