The War of Paradigm City

L"If you get me to my own Megadeus, I can still pilot it."
=====================================
*Big Fau makes no move to follow her, not even turning its head. Instead, the pauldrons rise up on moving stalks & shoot laser blasts at her.*

"Okay, I'll do my best."

*Kanrei Tsuki moves forward, still maintaining distance between it and Big Fau.*

Barbatos{You have my thanks for damaging Big Duo. It will be quite some time before it can rejoin this fight.}

*The huge, domelike Megadeus with a furnace for a mouth rises up beside Kanrei Tsuki. Farther away, but also facing Big Fau, emerge Basilisk & Rozengeist.*

Aamon{Amass as many Megadeuses as you are able. Once I realized I'd have to stoop to repairing a Megadeus, I ensured it was the strongest one ever recovered.}

Lilith{...You are wired into Big Fau to serve as its core memory, aren't you? Much like I am with Rozengeist.}

Barbatos{You still have the nerve to compare yourself to me, you subhuman garbage?}

*With that, one pauldron takes aim at Kanrei Tsuki & the other takes aim at Rozengeist. Both fire piercing blue beams.*

Mirror Zero fires its own blue beams, launching a volley of them at the Big Fau.

*The lasers dissolve on its invisible energy shield. Rozengeist holds up an arm to block the beam fired at it & opens fire with its machinegun ports, but the bullets are also dissolved.*

Lilith{It stops all attacks.}

Thiera{That's impossible. It has to have some kind of weakness.}

*Big Fau starts to charge forward. Gevurah's Megadeus, Inferno, also begins charging, to intercept it. They clash in the middle of the streets & Big Fau activates its bladed cuffs, effortlessly ripping Inferno's metal wrists, the size of a small house, apart.*

Mirror Zero jerks its arm slightly so its energy blade can pop out, then uses its thrusters to charge over at Big Fau, aiming to slice its arms off.

*The sword clashes against the invisible shield, throwing sparks all over the place, but does not cut it. Inferno backs off, breathing fire at Big Fau, which does nothing. As Basilisk slithers up to the scene, one of the shoulder pauldrons twists towards Mirror Zero, firing at the robot's head.*

Mirror Zero ducks it and thrusts forward with a stab, hoping the finer point will be strong enough to punch through the shield.

*It still does not work, & Big Faul raises his spinnybladefist to slam it down on Mirror Zero. Basilisk looms up behind it, drilling off one of its laser pauldrons.*

Thiera{The lasers aren't protected!}

Gevurah{So what? They aren't a vital component! Foolish girl.}

Mirror Zero side strafes using the thrusters to dodge the attack, then aims a slash at the other pauldron.

*The Adramelech arrives on scene, charging towards Big Fau to help fight it.*

*With the pauldrons now torn off, Big Fau deploys 2 gattling gun type weapons to replace them. It immediately puts them to use blowing Adramelech back.*

Lilith{If its first artillery is shoulder-mounted, it stands to reason it cannot fire through its own shield.}

*Basilisk deploys its laser. It manages to slice a good chunk of Big Fau's right arm before said arm rotates backwards & grabs it by the head. As the fist squeezes & spins, Basilisk undulates frantically, cracks appearing on its carapace.*

*Kanrei Tsuki backs up, hoping the attack will hit the Megadeus that popped up beside it, firing.*

*Adramelech swings a punch at one of the guns.*

Mirror Zero attempts to amputate the arm to free Basilisk.

*Adramelech gets a punch to the gut for its efforts. Rozengeist shoots its arms out to grab onto Big Fau's feet, but it effortlessly rips them off. Now free, Inferno just kind of slumps over it, trying to push it over. Big Fau shoots eye lasers into its eyes, causing the glass to shatter & molten lead to pour out.*

Lilith{It really is a powerful Megadeus.}

*Adramelech hops backwards and turns, swinging its large tail at one of the Megadeus's shoulder-mounted weapons.*

Mirror Zero attempts to stab Big Fau right in its eyes.

*Mirror Zero manages to crack one of its eyes before the energy shield reactivates, dissolving its weapon. Of course, since said weapon is made of energy, it merely reforms when moved away from the shield. But it was still rude. Big Fau grabs Adramelech's tail & drags the Megadeus down with it as it's pushed to the ground. The cannons & one of its fists continue to tear apart Inferno, even as it's being held down.*

Gevurah{It looks as though I have no choice but to self-destruct. My only regret is that it couldn't be one of you.}

*What's left of Inferno's eyes & mouth glow bright white, as more flames begin to emerge from the broken chunks of the Megadeus's armor.*

Mirror Zero uses its thrusters to strafe away from the explosion, launching a volley of lazers at one of Big Fau's cannons as she retreated.

*Kanrei Tsuki runs backwards, firing at Big Fau's face.*

*By now, Big Fau has re-deployed its energy shield. Now free, Basilisk slithers back.

Thiera{Are you crazy? You're going to blow yourself up now, when we have the advantage?}

Gevurah{Better to strike while the iron is hot than to hesitate & miss your advantage.}

Aamon{Ridiculous. I constructed this Megadeus myself, based on countless memories I reincarnated. Furthermore, it is powered by two dominus, one of whom has been directly wired into its mainframe. The entire force of your so-called "Megadeus's" explosion will be little more than a sparkler compared to my masterpiece of technological research.}

*Adramelech whips its tail free and begins running away from the explosion.*

*Kanrei Tsuki continues firing its rifle.*
