[Tricky, but not impossible. Ira heaves his blade onto his shoulder, shaking his head in an effort to not second the amusement he can hear from the shadows.]

You know, for a robot, this thing definitely reeks. But you know what they say about giants...

[He smirks as Gift of Crystallis goes off, Dualcasting Dark Firaga at both of the Snow Beast's front legs. Specifically where they join with the main carriage.]

[Johnny is limber enough as a maxed Dragoon to leap out of the way of the laser blast, but he almost doesn't because he's too distracted by what the Snow Beast looks like. It's really the last thing he expected.]

What the fuck? A Star Wars robot?!

[Johnny was always more of a horror movie guy over sci-fi. But now he's thanking his lucky stars his uncle forced him into watching those movies when he was little. It takes him a moment to shake off the surprise, but he's struck with some movie inspiration that just might help. Time to use Rope's End and bring this thing down. Time to get as much rope as he can and get swinging around it.]

Keep it offa me! Trust me, enough rope and this should work!

A star... what?

[Pyrrha isn't sure what Johnny is getting at, but he seems to have a plan, so she nods and turns back toward the Snow Beast.]

All right. I'll do my best to hold it back.

[It's a big target, but hopefully she can bring her Magnetic Semblance to bear to slow its reaction speed and give Johnny enough time to suceed in his plan.]

[Reno shook his head, bewildered.]

Hell if I know, but if he knows what it is, let's go for it!

[He'd ask what Johnny meant later. For now, the robot beast was going down. Reno made a Clone of himself, which sprinted forward to help distract the machine. Thanks to the Gift of Crystallis, he can catch up and start climbing one of the legs with Ceiling Walking. He won't attach any explosives to it, trusting Johnny's plan, but he is going to make sure he's a real pain in the ass.]

[The other Reno stayed behind, keeping an eye on his teammates.]

It's machine from a classic movie series. Topple it, and we're good to go.

[At least one person can join Johnny in getting their mind blown by the sight of the walker. With Jade's buff, Saori and her clone quickly join the fray. Seeing how several have started their attempts to disable it, someone should focus on stopping its firepower. She ran ahead of the others.]

Kenichi's gonna be jealous when I tell him this.

[The two cast Fire Ninjutsu where the cockpit should be.]

[Mary was watching the lumbering monstrosity carefully as she approached, and so when it raises its foot she's ready to react, rolling as the ground quakes. It's not a perfect recovery or evasion, especially thanks to the snow. but at least she manages to keep herself from being knocked prone.

Once she's back on her feet she makes for a different leg than the one Reno is climbing, using her own Ceiling Walking and Parkour to swiftly make her way up. Hopefully any snow clinging to her is working as further camouflage.

[ It may look easy in the movies, but the heroes in Star Wars had the scriptwriter on their side. It was going to take a few tries to get rope around the snow beast's legs, especially with it stomping at them. He goes flying off into the snow and takes some damage, but he's not down yet. He pops back out of the snow bank gritting his pointed teeth, and Leaps at the machine. Instead of attacking, though, he goes back to Rope's End to keep entangling it.]

[Jade blinks away with Vanish, leaving the spot where the laser bullets hit and reappearing a long distance away from harm. Now that he can see what they're dealing with, he's less concerned about being protected.

Casting spells at the legs would be risky with the others climbing them and Johnny swinging around, so... Perhaps Jade's better off running distraction and helping Saori take down the cannons until they need healing. He aims a Thundaga spell at the cockpit.]

[Mary holds on. This swaying is nothing compared to climbing the rigging in the storm. The movement slows her but between her personal training and her job abilities she keeps climbing and soon she reaches the underside.

The make of this thing is wholly alien to her, but she knows a hatch when she sees one. Reaching into her coat she pulled out a device she'd not yet find a use for, but maybe now the technology would be a match. Pointing her sonic screwdriver at it she held down the button, making the tip light up as it whirred. She gently turned it and moved it around the hatch, hoping to get it to open.

[Well, being in the laser group kind of sucks. With haste already affecting him, he activates Fists of Wind to further increase his movement speed. His only goal with this is to pick up Midna and hopefully move fast enough to get both of them out of the way, heading to the left and keeping their distance from the enemy the same. Good luck, everyone else.]

I'm not really supposed to punch that thing, am I?
needsteaplz: (future!saori-bandages)

[personal profile] needsteaplz 2017-05-18 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like Mary managed to get it open.

[Saori still had Eagle Vision on to keep tabs on the heroes climbing the legs.

She had almost forgot her own pre-battle tactics chat when Jade cast Thundaga. Quickly she and the clone corrected that and cast Raiton Ninjutsu for some thunder attacks.]

[personal profile] shinra_dog 2017-05-19 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yikes!

[Both Renos exclaimed. As the clone was tossed from the "beast," it used a Smoke Bomb to leap back on, further up than he was before, and continued climbing. In the meantime, the Reno stuck in the Target Group just tried to get away from the lasers.]

Shit, shit, shit...

[Between Smoke Bombs, the two redheads hopped and dodged across the battlefield. The clone reached the hatch after Mary and Saori and looked inside.]

Those look delicate.

[The cockpit might not have been big enough for a pilot, but Reno's EMR fit in perfectly to zap the computers with a lightning Electroprod. Real Reno ran toward Johnny, ready to move him out of the way or help him with the rope -- whichever was needed first.]
not_most_days: (Trust Matters)

[personal profile] not_most_days 2017-05-19 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mary winces as the harsh smell of burning electronics fills her nose. Part of her was wondering if this 'beast' could be hijacked, but stopping it and letting the salvagers take it over is a nice outcome as well. In all honesty she'd just be trying random settings on the sonic screwdriver if Reno hadn't done something.

Taking a moment to show off she stands up...upside down thanks to Ceiling Walking looking 'up' at the sleighs below.

Hopefully they're here to help...

[That was all it took, then? This battle wrapped up quite neatly, all things considered.

Better safe than sorry, though. Now that the hatch is open, Jade has a way in too. He uses Vanish to teleport upward and grabs onto the corners of the hatch, hoisting himself through. With Translation and a maxed Programmer Job, he should be able to check what's left of the computers and make sure the Beast isn't running any back-up systems that might present unpleasant surprises.]

[Johnny is a little disappointed he didn't get a change to trip the thing, but at least the snow beast was done with. He's not very mechanically inclined, but maybe there was a chance they could find out where this thing initially came from.]

Is there a way to like, trace its signals? See who's commanding this thing and find out where they're hiding?

[ It took Jaune longer than he's proud of to snap out of his stupor when the Beat appeared, but seriously? That's what they were facing? A giant robot thing, and he has a sword and a shield. This was going to go great. It was a good thing the more agile members of his group were able to deal with it, because he was pretty sure his sword was doing nothing to the foot it was banging.

Needless to say, he was relieved when the thing stopped moving. He glanced back at Pyrrha - she looked unharmed, good - before facing the newcomers. ]


...They do realize that if we failed the thing probably would have killed them, right?

[Hearing their request, he gives a shout up to the Mary and Reno.]

They want to know if it still works and if they can have it - wait a sec, why do you guys want it?

[The latter half is addressed to the refugees.]
shinra_dog: (serious)

[personal profile] shinra_dog 2017-05-24 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Reno largely ignored the scavengers, even if the offer of an escort through Trano was a good one. Some of the others might be too noble to accept the civilian risk, but if they'd done it so much, then they were better prepared for it.]

Hold on!

[He shouted down to Jaune without looking, and pointed over Jade's shoulder to the screens.]

It's still running something -- you got Programmer equipped? What's it doing?

[Jade was in the lab more than Reno was, surely he'd be able to figure it out. But if it was still a threat, Reno certainly didn't want to unleash it again by accident.]
not_most_days: (Hope)

[personal profile] not_most_days 2017-05-31 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even with her screwdriver as a useful tool, Mary lacks the technical skill to really be the most of use here. In fact her climbing up this thing in the first place was predicated on the assumption that there was a crew inside for her to deal with. Instead she hands it off to Jade.]

You might be able to make better use of this right now than I can.

[A trade. A loan. Whatever it is, at the least she hopes it will be as useful for him as the crystal he'd loaned her on Valentione's Day was for her. Nodding to Reno, trusting him to keep it under control she began to flip and jump and run her way back down to the leg.

She gets to the ground and over to Jaune in enough time to catch the end of the scavenger's offer.]

That would be a help, aye. The Archfiend is likely our next goal. We thought perhaps this thing might be able to help us that way, or at the least it would just be a good thing to get it to stop troubling you.

[ She shifts on her feet, kicking some snow away. She still doesn't care for the cold, even when properly dressed.]

[Although Jade's Programmer Job isn't equipped, he has access to the stats and tech savvyness through Onion Knight. It seemed like a sensible choice, considering where they're heading. He takes the screwdriver from Mary before turning back to the terminals.]

It's attempting to reboot. Looks like the targeting system is still working.

[He waves away the smoke coming from the malfunctioning computers, frowning.]

There are alternate directives hidden behind a password, but I doubt I can bypass it without Hacker equipped. Unless...

[He weighs the sonic screwdriver in his hand. While he's by no means an expert, he did cooperate with Jack back when they first tried to repair the Lunar Gate. At the time, they worked on using the screwdriver together with Auldrant's fontech. Now, let's see how much he can recall...]
