The Last Oddetsey

HOSTAGE TEAM

The huge robot stomps towards them and the police in between the two of them retreat out of the way; clearly this sort of fight is several miles above their pay-grade.

Phantasmic Slammer is first on the attack, and tries to get under it to flip it, however, being significantly smaller than the mech, and currently significantly faster, ends up more dislocating the armoured plates of its foot and knocking it backwards slightly with the shockwave caused by its ridiculous acceleration. The giant mech fires a huge beam of crackling blue fire from its mouth and swings its colossal fist, but to the team in their current hyper accelerated state, both appear sluggish gradual attacks easily which are easily walked past, let alone run past.

Twitch and Epsilon take up the front line - the hyper accelerates blades of the Parrot's quickly find a bunch of exposed cables near the right armpit and sever them, sending the arm below it into spasm. Epsilon doesn't seem to have any specific tactics, and begins to punch the machine at supersonic speeds, slowly buckling the shin-plate until it bursts off exposing the wiring beneath and then just continues punching - the much mechanical man begins to have alarms going off to signify system failures...

The fire beam of it's breath find Vengeance, but wash over his explosion proof shield - a dome around him of crackling blue energy where the fire touches it, while Vengeance himself is utterly unfazed - firing off bolts from his cane that pierces straight through the robot, though are so fine that they seem to cause negligible damage to the huge mass of the machine. Marisa circles the creatures head, causing a continuous sonic boom at the speed she is travelling, while her energy blasts utterly shred the eyes sending showers of glass to sprinkle down over the city below.

However, it is Eudial who finishes this fight... as she induces the explosion of the power core embedded in the mechs chest, in what would normally take a while to manipulate a core of this size, the acceleration of the whole process seems almost instantaneous to the outside world - the mighty swirling vortex of energy detonates, leaving a circular hole right through the robots chest and the machine crumples to the ground and the lights go dead.

As the team approach the robot's form on the ground, a panel slides open and the body of the Death of VHS is ejected from a slot - it looks like it has been added in specifically so he can take control.

Eudial growled. She drew out the silver Lance... just to make sure. Her strength was still overall weak, but since she was still under the effects of the flash bomb...

STAB.

She cleaved through the rift armour and impaled the enemy through the chest.

No reaction.

So he really was dead.

"Bastard," growled the Witch. She socked the prone form in the face with her fist, then turned to the others. "Well... that's that. I suppose we should head back to the castle now."
