A Twisted AI And a Broken Soul [Machinima]

[Talon]

((MONTHLY CAMPAIGN))

O'Malley stood on the roof of the UFO-shaped base, observing his troops who all stood in pefect ranks. The ranks were filled with larger mecha as one looked towards the back of the army, eventually stopping at five large black, raptor shaped mecha with cannons on their backs ((Geno Saurers)). O'Mallet felt a sense of pride upon looking at his ranks... everything he had worked so hard to gain. He recalled the days when he was just a simple bounty hunter, going about the universe doing jobs for those cursed organics just to get some damn money. The droid felt something similar to being sickened at the thought, then shrugged it off.

The army below, roughly 5000 strong, all stopped their speaking when O'Malley came into view, and then the crowds burst in cheers. O'Malley chuckled, then waved a hand for silence.

"Thank you, my loyal followers. Today, we will accomplish what every machine, every mech, every droid, robot, and android have ever dreamed of... a perfect existance where only the strong thrive, where everything is mechanical, where nothing is organic. Today, we begin a journey to rid the cosmos of the cursed menace known as Life. Today, we shall rise up against our living tyrants and fight back against their cursed reign!"

The army erupted into cheers once more, and O'Malley 'smirked'. He waited for them to quiet down again as he continued,

"Now, I believe you all know the plan? Heh, you should! You were all given the files beforehand!"

The crowd let out hearty laughs, and O'Malley continued,

"Alright, in order to begin our perfect reality, we have to start off somehwere. To the east lies a city of humans, the worst of the entire organic population on this planet. 60 percent of us shall head for the city and 'tenderize' the population before we fire off our new 'toy.' The other 40 percent shall remain behind here to defend the base, in case of resistance from a few... unwanted guests."

The crowd booed, and O'Malley silenced them with a swipe of his hand.

"Now, let our noble quest begin! Wipe out the organic scum! Kill anything that stands in your way! Blank your mind of everything but the mission! Now, my fellow machines, SPREAD OUR REIGN!!!"

The army burst into its loudest fit ever as over half of them began heading towards the city, mostly ground troops and armored vehicles, as well as a cluster of aerial units as well. The remianing units began taking positions all over the area, staying within a 3000-foot radius around the base, just inside of the array of force fields and cloaking devices. O'Malley clapped to himself silently, before turning on his heel and heading for a port in the center of the platform he was on, then dissapeared into the confines of the base...

((Okay, I wouldn't reccomend posting here until you have a good attack party put together! And no, it won't be easy to reach O'Malley. There's resistance inside the base as well))

[Talon]

(I know, I know... double-posted did I. But it's the only way to get this thread rolling))

Spite stopped at the edge of the supposed force field, acknowledgeable by a shimer in the air every so often. A small hemipshere protruded out of the middle of Spite's back as he began making calculations in his head, then nodded. A large, 20-foot diameter section of the field began to ripple as Spite muttered,

"Okay, so we have roughly 2 minutes to make it into the base before this EMP shield wears down. I hope Grimlock and Optimus are-"

The bot was cut short by a titanic roar as Grimlock came charging through furiously, then jumped through the hole in the portal as he shifted into robot mode, a top-heavy behemoth with the same basic transformation as his previous form, but his beast mode's head was mounted lying on the bot's chest, and he had four 'wings' on his back. His beast mode's feet-claws jutted out over his fists, and his face-plates jutted out at the top corners. His head was a bit more jagged in appearance, and, like his beast mode, he was a bit more lithe.

"WHERE SHOCKWAVE?! GRIMLOCK SMASH!!!" The enraged Dinobot roared.

He detached on of his beast mode's arms from his back, which in turn widened, producing a 20-foot long blade of glowing red energy from the foreclaws. All droids in the area immedeatly spotted him, though hesitated in attacking. That was, until, Grimlock wiped out a large group of armored battle droids closest to him. Prime followed suit as he ripped through the shield, bursting into the air and assuming his robot mode. He pulled out a thick-barreled rifle and began blasting away at enemy troops as the troops began firing back.

Spite stood in awe for a few moments, then shook his head and glanced behind him, hoping the others would appear soon, ans well as hoping they wouldn't follow the Autobot's suit.

"Hurry up... c'mon... they can't hold them off forever... especially if Nine shows up." Spite muttered.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Solranous sighed as he apeared next to Spite after a Flash Step.

"So what do we do? Charge in like the Autobots or sneak around and hope for them the best? Either option seems equally unappealing..."

He glanced at Optimus and Grimlock, understanding the outlook between Autobots and Deceticons now, if Grimlock's reaction was any indication.

"I don't want to leave them hanging... but at the same time I don't want to waste too much time here..."

Either way, he passed through the hole in the shield Spite made, hoping there was a way for both the Autobots to make it out of this fight with minimal damage and stop O'Malley's weapon within the time constriant.

[Fredrex00]

((I'm reaaaaally sorry for holding you guys up....I have finals this week and all...and I just haven't been in the RPGing mood..))

GaiGar, Burning Gundam, and Great Mazinger land beside the others. "So...what's the plan?" Burning Gundam asks. GaiGar studies the scene. This job won't be an easy one. That's for sure.

Great mazinger grunts, standing up. "I say we just start bombing the place now!" he growls, electrical currents coursing through his body. GaiGar glares at the super robot.

"That's just being stupid Mazinger. You want yourself killed so easily?" GaiGar growls.

The Mazinger stares at the other super robot. Then lowers his head. That surge was getting to him again.

[Talon]

((S'alright Fred. Finals can be a difficult time of year...))

Spite mentally scowled as several Geno Saurers emered from the base and went after Grimlock, unloading with their CPC's. Grimlock managed to withstand the blasts, then began pursuing the black saurian mecha. Optimus wasn't holding up very well though, having taken several missiles to the front of his torso as sparks flew out of his blown-open frame. Spite's claws clenched, then the hemisphere on his back began to rotate, a faint wavy light emitting from it.

"Follow me! And get ready for anything!" Spite barked, rushing through the portal, hoping the others followed.

The EMP field was up, blocking Spite and the group from the eyes of the enemy robo's as they made a b-line for the base. The group had to circle around to the back of the base, heading for the rear entrance, where Spite hoped the least amount of resistance would be. To his luck, there were only three guards, and Spite didn't even have to stop to take them out. The field was beginning to wear down as Spite rushed over to the keypad next to the door, punching in numbers furiously. The door beeped, then slid open just as the field went down, and Spite began to enter when he heard a cry of pain from Optimus and Grimlock. His eyes widened, and his claws scraped the floor.

"Nine's here. damnit..." The mecha muttered.

He glanced at the others, his resolve weakening.

"We have to get this done, and quickly. Lest Optimus and Grimlock make any sacrifices in vain." He stated, voice cracking.

He nodded, then barreled down the hallway that led away from the door's entrance as the door shut behind them. The draconic machine kept running until he reached another door, hacking into the keypad and making it slide in, allowing them through. Unfortunately, this was a bad thing. The door slammed shut behind the group as a vast array of droids dropped down from the ceiling into this circular, 1000-foot diameter room. There was only one other door, and it was on the other side of the room, blocked by O'Malley's task force.

"I expected as much from you, Spite." O'Malley's voice rang over a speaker system.

The bots all began drawing weapons, aiming them at the invading force.

"And you brought 'them' as well, I see. Hmph. I guess I'll just have to kill five birds with one stone. Troops, destroy them." O'Malley's voice finished, cold and mechanical.

Then the beams started flying...

[Azure_Ghidorah]

(OOC: Final Wars rip off moment)

... Only to freeze seconds before hitting the dragon and the four mecha that were standing together. Solranous had his palm held out and his eyes closed, so he could focus.

"I was afraid it was going to come to this, Spite..." was all Solranous said, before swinging his arm at the enemy machines. The beams launched back to where they originated from, dismantling multiple robotic foes at once. Solranous sighed to himself, stepping up to the front of the group and assuming an offensive stance, strangely, without drawing Kizoku from his sheath. The dragon clenched his fists, ready to launch another counter attack should more beams start flying, seeing as how the shooting stopped when the realized what had happened.

Sure enough, they did start shooting again, and once more Solranous caught the blasts... There was one difference though, this time, they didn't stop shooting, giving Solranous no chance to throw back the blasts all together as he had done before. The dragon shrugged, and instead started throwing them back one by one while catching replacement 'ammunition'.

"Feel free to jump in any time, guys..." Solranous sarcastically growled, this was taking too long...

[Talon]

"Got it." Spite muttered.

The mecha dragon hunched down as his plasma cannons aimed forward, laucnhing off powerful bolts of the shimmering green energy into the crowd, blowing apart small groups of their opposition. He growled, then fired off a few bolts from his maser.

damnit, I know he's got something planned... this is almost too simple for one of his plans... He thought while shooting.

He shrugged it off for now as he fired off a hail of missiles, taking out more troops.

* * * * * * *

Meanwhile, from the observation room, O'Malley sat in his chair watching the fight.

"Heh. They're taking longer thn expected. Maybe I overestimated them..." He muttered.

Three sets of eyes shone in the darkness behind him, one pair yellow, another red, and the third nothing but a blue visor. Each varied in height, but it was apparent all of them were mechanical.

"You guys are up soon, by the way." O'Malley added, glancing behind him.

"GaiGar..." One of the entities growled.

[Fredrex00]

Great Mazinger jumps into the air and flies at the army of machines. He stops in the thick of them and suddenly his chest flares up with red hot flames. "HADES BREAST BUUUUURN!!!!"

A gigantic blast of molten energy is fired at the swarm and melts them down. A large chunk of the troops erupt into fireballs and then catch other units on fire, making them explode too.

Burning Gundam stands in a somewhat bent over position. His wings break appart and form a orange ring behind them. The G-Gauntlets cover his hands which burst into flames. His chest panel opens up, the King of Hearts symbol appearing infront of him. A rushing mob of machines gather towards him. But the Gundam doesn't waver. He stands his ground.

The ground pulses and snaps under the immense power growing around Burning Gundam. Finally the gundam draws his hands back, and then forces them back again. A huge fireball is released from his hands. The front has the king of hearts symbol and its "tail" is twin streams of flame in a double helix. The ball of flame crushes the machine forces without mercy. They erupt into flaming pieces of scrap metal as the ball of fire forces itself though the crowd. The blast then erupts in the middle of the oncoming forces taking a lot of units with it.

The gundam stands, his body cooling down, steam rises from his arms, legs and back.

[Talon]

Spite 'blinked, tail swaying before it smashe dinto one of the last few droids.

"damn. They're good." He muttered.

O'Malley's voice suddenly boomed over the intercom in a cackle.

"My, that was impressive. Now, shall we kick things up a notch? I mean, you're obviously here for a challenge, no?" The droid asked in a mocking tone.

O'Malley seemed to be waiting for a response, but upon not receiving one, he simply 'hmphed'.

"Alright, boys, you're up!" O'Malley barked.

A port in the ceiling suddenly opened, and three machines jumped down, landing in the midst of what used to be a group of droids. Spite's eyes widened upon taking the three in...

One had a design similar to Burning Gundam, but his coloration was a black and maroon. He bore two wings on his back instead of BG's fins, and the sides of his head swept out sideways and backwards into a pair of spikes. His hands were clawed, and his eyes shone green.

The next was another humanoid mecha, with green shoulders and a pair of miniature red gun turrets on eithe rleg. A green, v-shaped crest adorned his chest, and a visor covered his eyes. Something similar in appearance to a toothy maw ran acrosss the front of his torso.

The last could only be described as the mechanical version of a familiar white hedgehog that had scourged the city a few months back.

"I believe you five should know these three, if not all of you at once." O'Malley stated.

"Been a while, eh Domon? Or should I call you Burning Gundam now? And what's this about Devil Gundam coming back?" The other Gundam implied, his right claw glowing purple.

"Guy... I'm disgusted by the fact you'd be helping these... rejects. What happened to make you fall so low?" The green-and-white mech asked, eight feather-like wings made of orchid energy sprouting from his back.

The mechanical Nazo merely stared intensely at Solranous, red energy crackling between his hands.

"Have fuu~uuun..." O'Malley chimed, before his voice vanished.

The Gundam shot forward and slammed BG into the wall, then rushed forward as his claws were immersed in a purple glow, ready to claw the good Gundam's core out. The mecha sprouting the energy wings swiped his hands forward, shouting,

"PLASMA SWORD!"

He then rushed forward and began furiously slashing at GaiGar, picking off small chunks of the lino-robot's exterior.

"What happened to the King of Braves?! How'd you get out of that damned false dimension?!" The bot roared angrily.

Finally, the Mecha Nazo shot forward, elbowed Solranous in the gut, sending him flying upwards. The Nazo doppleganger finished with a barrage of red energy spheres, only about half making contact though.

*Master Gundam
J-Der
Mecha Nazo*

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Oof... Gee, that hurt, ya know? NOT!" Solranous cackled a bit, getting up with only minor scratches mostly, though some were large enough to be considered scars. The dragon bellowed, charging at Mecha Nazo and kneeing the much smaller hedgehog machine in the face, making sparks erupt slightly from it as it flew back. Solranous pursued with the Flash Step. He smashed Mecha Nazo down with a punch, the force of the impact throwing the hedgehog-mecha up again to get punched back down. after about five times doing this, Solranous shoved Mecha Nazo down with his foot, grinding away parts from its back.

Solranous the gripped Mecha Nazo's head with his talons and threw the machine up, barraging him with five Spirit Rockets, all making contact with violent explosions. The smoking machine then fell to the ground, and Solranous tensed up, positive that Mecha Nazo was still fuctional.

'At least he can't heal like the real Nazo, or transform.' Solranous thought, keeping it to himself.

'... Something's off about that machine... Why did it stare down Solranous like that?' Kizoku asked himself... He feared that Solranous' assumption may be wrong.

[Fredrex00]

"GENESIC CLAW!!!" GaiGar's claw like gaunlet snaps over his hands and he grabs the plasma sword between the claws. A weird shreeking sound of hot metal grinding against each other fills the air. Sparks jump from the twin blades as the forced each other together. GaiGar bares his fangs in anger. "And you! You aren't the same J-Der I fought alongside with in countless battles! YOU DON"T HAVE THE SAME PRIDE AS HIM!!"

GaiGar pushes "J-Der" backwards and his claws begin to flare up with green flames. "SO...GO BACK TO THE SCRAP HEAP!" GaiGar roars, then shoves his flaming clawed hand straight into the stomach of the other machine. They fly straight towards a wall and right through it.

Burning Gundam kicks Master Gundam in the head. The other mech is sent flying into the ground. Burning Gundam stands, his eyes flickering. "Who are you? Who is Domon?..." Burning Gundam questions.

Burning Gundam's wings, which are still split appart, reform the orange circle again. The G-Gautlet covers his hand again, which is erupting into flame. "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

The gundam rockets at the other, hand extended. Master Gundam, caught by surprise, can't block the attack. The Burning Gundam prepares to smash the black gundam's face with his Buring Finger.....

When he stops completely.

His hand trembles in front of the black gundam's face. The super robot...then falls to his knees. The Burning Finger deactivates and the machine falls to his knees. He grabs his head in pain.

"What is this?! What's going on in my head?!?!" The gundam roars in pain. He slams his head down into the ground, moaning in pain. The sound of a tear drop stops his pain. All is silent in his head.

"...Memories....." Burning Gundam whispers to himself.

[Talon]

To the dragon's supposed surprise, the machine stood up as its warped and dented metal began popping and pulling back into place, good as new.

"You'll suffer for that, worm..." The mech hissed in a voice eerily similar to the real Nazo's.

Before Solranous could blink, the bot had bounded forward and kicked Solranous into the wall, denting the metal beneath the dragon. Nazo charged forward, charging a sphere of energy between his hands as he did so, then vanished at the last second. Solranous was then blown forward, blood and chunks of his spines flying through the air. Energy crackled around the machine as he teleported into Solranous's flight path, kicking him into the air, then following up with another energy blast.

Meanwhile, Master Gundam issued a dark laugh.

"Oh, I see they're kicking back in, eh? Hmph. Allow me to put you out of your misery!" He roared.

The evil gundam then spun around and kneed BG in the face, sending him flying.

"You were never good enough to be the King of Hearts! I'LL PROVE IT!" Master roared.

"Choukyuu Haou Den'eidan!!!" The gundam boomed.

Rushing forward, the gundam began spinning extremely fast, only the head being visible through the blur. He finally reached Burning Gundam, and impacted into his opposite foe, sending the fiery gundam into the wall, creating a massive crater in the plating.

"PRIDE?! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF PRIDE!" 'J-Der' roared.

He swiped his Plasma Sword forward, slashing GaiGar across the face before kneeing him in the stomach. The Martian mecha then grabbed GaiGar by the face with his free hand and flew into the ceiling, smashing GaiGar into it.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Solranous Flash Stepped out of the way before the beam hit, and kicked, Mecha Nazo away.

"Ok, how the hell did you just regenerate?" Solranous at the hedgehog.

"Solranous! Be careful, he must have the true Nazo's DNA!"

"You've got a point there... It's time to Bankai release."

"Be careful," Kizoku cautioned, before receding again.

And in a flash, Solranous transformed into his Bankai State.

"Star Burst Flare!" the call rang out, and then the blast streaked forth, Solranous then used his telekinesis to create another image of himself, which Flash Stepped behind Mecha Nazo, claws glowing. the after image Solranous, slammed his claws into Nazo's back, forcing him into the on-coming beam, which then detonated. Before the smoke cleared, the real Solranous charged at Nazo, his own claws glowing. The dragon roared as he slashed at Nazo, removing half his torso and the arm attached to it, then the other hand came up, slashing off almost all of Nazo's face, before he was blown back by another Star Burst Flare.

[Talon]

The hedge-bot staggered backwards from the blast, sneering at Solranous.

"It's like that 'O'Malley' once said... 'nanobots are an amazing creation'..." Nazo growled.

He rushed forward and slammed his knee into Solranous's chin, then spun around and elbowed the dragon in the chest before continuing the spin, booting Solranous backwards a few dozen feet. The dragon had zero reaction time as Nazo appeared above the dragon, hurling a 5-foot diameter sphere of energy square at the dragon, cackling at the resulting explosion.

"While I may not be the 'real' Nazo, I do retain his personality. O'Malley found a part of my real self's flesh and downloaded all genetic information it held into my AI." Nazo explained.

He was then hovering inches from Solranous's nose, then 'grinned' before smashing his fist into Solranous's jaw.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

The dragon slammed into the wall and grunted.

"Nanobots huh? I can deal with them." Solranous growled, Flash Stepping in front of Nazo and digging his claws into the metal 'skin' and cutting into the wiring.

Then he pulled what he used on his Scourge counter part, but instead channelling the electricity made from his muscle movement into Nazo's systems and amplifiying them, causing the hedge-bot to smoke and spark for about three minutes, before Solranous kicked him away.

"Now, if my calculations are correct, your nanobots should have been short circuited. Lets find out." Solranous grinned as he glared at Nazo, Flash Stepping above him and smashing his fist into the hedgehog mecha's skull, slamming him into the ground...

And then the true attack started, Solranous yanked a piece of the wall out, making sure there were no support structures, before leaping away from Mecha-Nazo as a fire flower erupted below him. The dragon then slammed his fist into the wall piece that now hovered over them, producing another fire flower, the cage being escaped by Solranous with Flash Step, but Nazo wasn't so lucky.

"Be glad you can't feel pain." Solranous stated simply, as both flowers rotated in opposite directions at high speed.
