» Attention Rookies: Zero, Chapter 3 - A successful bench test.

[randomdrifter865]

Charsi could feel the ground shake and soon explosions followed. After that a shot rang by as Black Cape was moving away Charsi hit the dirt as quickly as possible. "Geez I think I had better days then this..." She thought to herself. As she looked up quickly she saw both Black Cape and Serah duking it out with each other.

Thinking to herself, "now I know why Brooks values in this trainee so much." "Still its not enough to say she is there yet ,but shes defently got spirit." "Obviously I am getting in the way though." "It seems destiny will have these two fighting each other for as long as either is online." Closing her eyes Charsi simply faces down into the ground contiplating on what to do next ,but she could still hear Serah and Black Cape fight each other.

For the next few moments Serah and Black Cape's battle concluded and Black Cape fled the scene.

Charsi stood back up and found Serah slightly damaged from what appears to be an electro shock no doubt it was one of Black Cape's electrified arms. "Ah you'll get out of it ,you seem to be the tough as nails type for a mere gun bunny." Charsi stated while giving off a rather playful gesture before sheathing her pink energy saber.

"So that was the Black Cape?" "The one who took my Brooks down so easily?"
she asked.

At that moment Brooks finally moves in towards Serah and Charsi and begins examining Serah checking her nanites the whole works. "Hmmm looks like you'll be fine for the most part ,but you did take quite a shock and some damage from that explosion." Muttered Brooks. "Let me heal you up for a bit and you should be back to a better condition." By hitting the button on his comp Brooks looking through his visor screen showed Serah's nanites already working on the damaged areas of Serah's body slowly mending and reinforcing for more damage resistance in case she were to take another strong blow like that again.

"Well your nanites are doing the rest so I recommend simply resting for the moment before going back out there." "We still have a job to do and judging from your fight that was way too easy." "It didn't seem Black Cape wasn't really at all interested in fighting at all." Brooks stated.

Brooks face starts to look a bit serious. "Still we got to keep our guard up." "I get the feeling our real opponent is coming." Brooks then looked towards the direction of the forest and began checking for life signs and soon his visor picked up a mutosreploid lifesigns.

Charsi then peers in front of view. "Hey aren't you gonna check my out too?" Charsi stated rather flirtatiously.

Brooks simply ignores her as he was still scanning for the life signs of the other teamate and hunters out there in the woods.Then Charsi's bio data popped up reading as fine and Brooks just rolls his eyes. His face was still smashed in from his fall ,but at least he was satisfied that he could still the lifesigns of other hunters as well as worry when those mutosreploid lifesigns popped up on his visor screen.

Soon a brown energy shot came rushing by hitting the Maverick HQ and then everything around turned too stone.

"What the!?" exclaimed Brooks.

[Jet]

With the cannon knocked out the majority of the maverick forces seemed to be in full retreat, and the squads that remained seemed to be preoccupied with other things. H had a relatively simple job avoiding them, but he was worried about the huntress he carried, she hadn't woken up or even made movement since he'd rescued her. She had taken a blow to the head after all, but if he could just get her back to HQ safely then maybe they'd be able to fix her up. There were still sparks of electrical charge that H could see through the hole in her cranium, indicating that it wasn't too late but-

Heavy movement to H's left. A large, lizardlike maverick pushed her way through the brush, crushing twigs, snapping low hanging branches and generally carving a swath of destruction as she made her way through the forest. H crouched down behind a tree and waited, hoping not to be noticed. He had not noticed the maverick's long tail however, which had been whipping back and forth causing its own destruction. As fate would have it, the tail's sweeping motion was such a broad arc that it inadvertently hit H, knocking him on his butt.

He froze, motionless, hoping that the maverick would assume she'd hit a rock or something but Basilisk could tell the difference. With but a moment's hesitation, the tail whipped around and crashed through the tree, if H was not laying flat on his back he would have been destroyed with it.

Basilisk seemed to know this as well, as her tail went high for a vertical strike. H leapt to his feet with Vyper and ran, crouching behind another pair of trees further away. But the maverick had not given up her search, she began spraying some sort of brown gunk about the area, trying to locate her quarry before whipping her tail around to break through the stone trees.

"Hey guys, this is H," H said, deciding it was time for help. "I've got a giant, lizard maverick tearing down the forest trying to find me, you guys should come help me out."

"And send that medic guy around," he added in afterthought, glancing down at Vyper, "I've got one of your girls with me but she's been beaten up pretty bad."

[VirusZero]

Serah paused while Brooks investigated. She knew she wasn't too damaged, she wasn't in a hurry to be doing anything that reckless for now. The black arms from Cape's armour were still stuck in her thighs, she went to rip one out and gave it a feeble tug but it wouldn't budge. So she decided against removing it, they weren't going to interfere with her movement capabilities for now and they plugged the holes they made nicely. (Plus she felt if she did try to rip it out, it might make more of a mess than leaving it in would.) The current and explosion had sort of fused them in place for now so it's not like she was in danger of leaking vital fluid.

"I'll rest when we're done here." Serah stated while she readied her weapon, the edge of which had been warped a little by the explosion.

"As for Black Cape, hard to know what she really wanted. Maybe it was to fight, or just slow us down, or distract us from something." Serah muttered, the thought bothered her too but she didn't really feel like dwelling on it since the mission wasn't over just yet. And if training had taught her nothing idling around in an active warzone was recipe for pain. Memories of those early training sessions flooded in, her first time firing her buster. She was completely caught off guard by the recoil. Those videos of X shooting made it look sooo easy, he never landed on his butt after firing.

Her thoughts were interrupted by H's call.
"Right, we're on our way." Serah spoke into the comm.
"A giant lizard maverick? I'm hoping it's not that Grodzilla thing they showed on the old movies. That thing looked so lame." Serah remarked to those in her company.

"Looks like we're off to the woods."


Serah took off towards the wooded area. She entered the forest area and in the nearby distance she could now hear the sounds of thrashing, crashing and general distruction as trees were knocked over by something large or powerful while it tore through the area.
"Follow the sounds then..." she muttered to herself. The trail to the maverick wasn't hard to follow, thanks to the noise the maverick made. And so shortly Serah arrived to find the maverick tromping through the area. From behind a bush, Serah peeked out to take a look at the maverick. Brownish-green and quite large in length though it stayed fairly low to the ground. The tail though whipped through the air and crashed against a nearby tree, causing the wood to break apart and the tree to creak before falling over.
"sssssI knowsss you are here sssssomewhere." It hissed.

Serah took a quick aim, and using the element of surprise she launched an auger missile. It struck the side of the lizard maverick and exploded.
"SSSSSS " the maverick cried out. The blast from the explosion subsided, but Serah's position was revealed.
"sssI ssssee you" The maverick called out, while it returned fire with a small capsule that struck Serah in the chest. The capsule popped easily and spread a sticky brown gunk that hardened all over Serah's chest. The stuff was incredibly heavy and jammed up her shoulders making it hard to move.
"EEeYuck" Serah cried out while she tried vainly to pull the gunk off herself. The maverick though didn't waste much time, it's tail lashed out and caught Serah in the chest... The force broke the brown substance away but also sent Serah flying backwards into a tree. The branches of the tree snapped when Serah struck them. Serah hit the ground with an "oomph".

[randomdrifter865]

Brooks picks up H's Transmission and holds his armtop computer up close so he could speck. "Yes H this is Brooks." said Brooks. "I am detecting your lifesigns along with Vyper's and I can tell her nanites are not functioning properally from a heavy attack to the head and it looks like her circuitry is exposed and needs an immidiate teleport back to base for repairs." "I'll be there quickly so please hold out a bit till I get there."

Charsi with a rather annoyed look on her face mentally thinks to herself. "What a bitch!" "Does everyone ignore me!?" she puffs up her face and simply pouts by holding her arms with a rather impatient posture eventually tapping her feet while giving a rather dissapointed glare at Serah. "Is it really always Serah this than Visper that?" "How about Charsi?" "Does Charsi even get any mention of worry?" Hmph!

Brooks then follows after Serah catching Charsi's attention. "Hey!" "Wait up for me!" She runs up behind them and soon she remembers Ami. "Hey what about Ami!?"

Brooks responds immidiately to her question. "Ami's fine where he's at just a little buried ,but he's fine one would think and besides I did boost his nanites so he could self repair and move as soon as he gets out of his dirt nap he'll know what to do."

Charsi has a stunned look on her face. "Are you sure?"

Brooks responds, "Of course he's the toughest little kid I know and surely enough the guy has been through much more worse than this." Brooks smiles to himself and chuckles a bit.

"Whats so funny?" muttered Charsi.

"Oh nothing." said Brooks sarcastically. At the same time he was more concerned of Vyper's condition more so than Ami's who shows up green on his visor screen.
--------------

In the forest...

As soon as Brooks and Charsi caught up to Serah whom was already in the heat of the fight with what appears to be a giant metal lizard mutosreploid.

"Okay whats up with all the mythological mutosreploids?" said Brooks rather sarcastically soon he was able to locate both H's and Vyper's positions and soon his maverick alarm within his head sounded. WARNING WARNING WARNING. "I need to replace this old hunter maverick alarm." said Brooks quietly while sneaking around the huge mutosreploid.

Charsi draws out her saber and sheild and fires her spark thunder which homes in slowly towards the big lizard mutosreploids. And soon a huge hiss came roaring out of the mutosreploid.

[Silver Stryker]

A relative sense of safety had failed to wash over Ami. He had been laying there for quite some time, first tapping any enemies he observed with some of his plasma shots, then watching Black Cape make her leave. He had even braced the guilt of not quickly hopping up to join the others to make way for the forest. Large-scale warfare was new to Ami, and the thought of some random enemy lurking around any nook 'n cranny instilled fear into him. Reports of the bombardment being over reached his ears, but still....combat always had its surprises. And to think: He had been feeling confident up until now.

The rising guilt was too much. No more heavy reconnaissance on a tattered stone wall far off; he had to make a move. "It's alright, Ami....everyone moved on. It HAS to be safe, right?" He quietly asked himself. One last nod of self-approval, and he slowly crept to his feet. The crater a lot less deep than it had felt, but it certainly kept him alive. Ami turned to the forest that was on his six and proceeded to--


*CRACKOOOM*

--Swandive straight back to his little crater, flinching, scared to look out as the final artillery shot landed somewhere nearby. Any notion of adventuring into the forest died at that point. Ami had learned of the wonderful existance of faulty intel. "I Thought you said--"

"I've got a giant, lizard maverick tearing down the forest trying to find me, you guys should come help me out."

Ami shut his mouth and listened in for a bit. It all came together for him. Neutralize this maverick, and everything stops.

A new wave of couraged filled Ami's body. His plasma pistol snap-faced towards the forest as he rose to his feet and strafed out of the hole. "Ami here. En route to the site. Maybe I'll even pull a flanking maneuver if you guys promise me some ice cream after this, kay?" He threw over the comms before breaching the woodline...

The clapping of boots--leather, with rubber treads--against the concrete floor battled complete silence in the lab room. It was the sound of an anxious man pacing back and forth, or rather, left and right in Vyper's perspective. She was able to recognize his expression and verify his mental state as being in distress. The 'what' is clear. Now there was the 'why'.

Professor Raymond stopped and turned to glance at Vyper. A thin smile crossed his lips. "Ah..Welcome to the world. Two minutes and fourty-three minutes; that's probably a record for the longest reploid boot-up process since the old days, heh heh.."

Prior knowledge kicked in, and Vyper began to understand her surroundings. No windows to prove it, but it was morning--5:17 AM to be exact. A Thursday. June. The professor appeared to have bags under his eyes and was malnourished. Her first tidbit of thought was to go to his aid. She couldn't move. After a quick scan down, she saw that metel clamps intervaled around her body. Her burgundy hair spilled down to mask her vision of everything except her body. She was naked. Prior knowledge jolted to her memory, reminding her that she, like humans, was supposed to be embarrased of her current state. She dismissed it. It kind of amused her--excited her even. "So...it looks like one of us is perverted, huh?" She stated as she rolled her eyes. "Hah. Well, yea-er, no. I had to make some final tweaks here and there on your internals, and your armor was kind of...in the way."

"Uh-uh. So you gonna let me down or would you like to take a snapshot for memories?"

The professor laughed it off and he approached a terminal and jabbed in a few keys. A wireframe of her figure on a large monitor rotated as highlighted portions in yellow displayed key intricate information. "Sorry, you're not quite up to par juuust yet..UYou still have a few bugs I'd like to iron out before I can let you go. Mostly internal hardware issues.

A sudden clank and whirr of machinery startled Vyper, forcing a high "Eeep!" out of her. Scanning bars began encircling her in the capsule she was contained in. Professor Raymond moved in and smiled. "Don't you worry, I'll get you out of here--get you out of--get you out of here--out of here--out of here--here--here--



"Common, let's get you out of here,"

Vyper snapped to, albeit barely. Numbers, nomenclature, and statistical data she didn't even care for flooded her vision more so than the moving trees her limp head made her stare at. The voice was unfamiliar to her, but its solid tone attempting to be soft on her had somewhat of a soothing effect on her. The first person to come to mind was the hammer-toting reploid who smacked her good carring her off-- if that was the case, so be it. She couldn't move, but she already knew that. She made no attempt to. Maybe he'll get overconfident when he brings her to wherever he's caring her. Maybe then she can use the last bit of her energy to drive and energen knife into his throat and watch him die. Maybe--

A numbing impact winded Vyper and her holder, forcing him to hasten his attempt to move. Rounds popped off, but from what, Vyper had no clue.

"Hey guys, this is H," H said, deciding it was time for help. "I've got a giant, lizard maverick tearing down the forest trying to find me, you guys should come help me out."

"Oh." Vyper muttered, before chuckling to herself. She attempted to grab at him; a hand made a faint attempt at his arm, and his chest, but she was weaker than she thought. "We...still can fight....." She stated. But she was utterly lying to herself.

[randomdrifter865]

Thanks to Charsi's shock attack Basalisk was distracted long enough for Brooks to get around it as it hissed loudly. As Brooks looked at his visor Vyper's lifesigns poped up along with H's. "This is not good I need to prep her quite a bit before I can teleport her out of here," said Brooks rather quietly. By the time Brooks got to H by some trees further away from the fight he immediately went over towards Vyper who was one the ground kinda looked she was in daze and the damage was serious as he had thought. He crouches down over her and tries to see if Vyper is concious.

"Vyper..." "Its me... It's Brooks can you hear me?" said Brooks calmly. By looking at his visor he could see Vyper's wound and opened his armtop comp showing the procedure he needed to do to get her preped properally for teleport. "Vyper listen carefully to me if you can." "I will need to do some maintance on you so you can be teleported out of here for a more detailed diagnostic and rehaul of your cerebral functions I may need to temporarily shut you down so your memory files do not get corrupted or worse erased due to what appears to be a memory data error because of the damaged circuitry."

He stopped talking and looked over towards H. "You did good H." said Brooks ,but I am gonna need your help for a bit longer if you can spare it." Brooks continues specking. "I may need some protection as I prep Vyper for teleport which due to her serious wound in her head I may need to temporary patch her up so that way the transmission energy doesn't make her cerebral memory circuits short and cause more damage to her cerebral systems."

Meanwhile back at the battle with Basalisk...

As Brooks quickly got past Basalisk and made a B Line towards his intended task. Charsi was readying for another attack ,but even though she messed with Basalisk's targeting system Basalisk still had access to most of her physical attacks which for Charsi they were rather slugish and fairly easy to dodge as she began whipping her tail about. Charsi dodging each of them with finess. "PFFT." "Can't you at least try to hit me?" "You really bore me Maverick!" said Charsi with a rather cocky tone.

OOC: Has it really been over a year since we began this topic? I think its time we finish off this girl.

IN:

H had been fairly successful in staying clear of the rampaging maverick while he awaited the support of the other hunters. Drawn by the swath of destruction Basalisk had carved through the forest the hunters were quick to arrive. A few of them began to engage the big lizard, and H decided to lay Vyper down in the relative safety between to fallen trees. She had begun making jerky, twitching movements, H hoped that that was a good sign but he really had no idea. He scanned around the clearing until the medical unit, Brooks came into view. It seemed as though Brooks had some idea of which direction he and Vyper were, H remembered that the medic had a feed on the nanites in their bodies, but it looked like he couldn't pinpoint them. H remembered that his holographic camouflage was still activated, and since Basalisk's attention was now focused on Serah he felt safe enough to reveal his position. Seeing them, Brooks hurried over and crouched down with H between the trees.

"This is not good I need to prep her quite a bit before I can teleport her out of here," the medic informed H, "I may need some protection as I prep Vyper for teleport."

He continued to drone on about Vyper's condition but H's focus was now on the battle, he'd done his job, Vyper was now in the hands of the medic. Priority number one was ensuring his own safety, and that included getting rid of this maverick. Basalisk had at this point caught Serah with her tail and slammed her into a tree beyond the clearing she'd established. Her attention was now occupied by Charsi, who H hoped was just being obnoxiously loud as a distraction tactic. Not that it wasn't effective, she seemed to be doing just fine evading the maverick's attacks and it kept the attention off of him. Basalisk shook her head clumsily, pausing in her assault on Charsi, it appeared as though her targeting systems had been damaged, making the brute of a maverick even more oafish.

"Can't you at least try to hit me? You bore me, Maverick!"

Charsi's taunts served to re-anger the maverick who renewed her single minded assault on the huntress. This tunnel vision, coupled with the damage to her targeting systems would have afforded any reploid the opportunity for a sneak attack, never mind how agile and quiet H could be. He had sprinted from Brook's and Vyper's side, vaulting over trees and ran up the trunk of another to take a flying leap onto Basalisk's back. Without hesitation he jammed a knife into the soft part of her neck, twisting the blade in hopes of causing critical damage to her essential systems. The maverick roared and twisted about, but her thick arms could not reach H to throw him off. H kept one eye on the maverick's tail, ready at a moments notice to leap away and cause the maverick to strike herself in the cranium, but it seemed that the tail could not bend that way either.

H switched hands and began to upload his slicer program into the back of the maverick's skull, in most cases it was useless against stronger, more complex reploids but in light of her damage and the virus being uploaded directly to her central processing unit, H hoped it might allow him one free command, momentarily stunning her at some crucial point in the battle.

It was at this point that Basalisk found a solution to her troubles with H, the maverick's back opened up to reveal two large chain guns. H's eyes went wide, he withdrew the knife from Basalisk's neck and jabbed it into one of the guns before releasing his grip on the maverick and rolling away into the brush. Targeting systems or not though, H was too close to avoid the spray of fire as Basalisk peppered the area around him, bullets ripped into his left leg and abdomen. H could only lay there, hoping that Charsi or someone else would distract the maverick again.

[VirusZero]

OOC: Seems like it, though we've all been fairly busy. (You've been working, Silver was in military training, Vile's working, etc...)

Though I think it's time to get this maverick finished off too. So on that note I'm going to get this pretty close to the end. I hope everyone's ok with that.

IN:

Serah's impact with the tree had caused several of the tree's branches to break off and come tumbling down on top of her, pinning her against the tree. Serah used her free hand to activate another of her special moves. A glowing blade of yellow energy erupted from her crystal on the back of her hand. With a rather rough motion, Serah slashed and cleaved one of the tree limbs in half that was holding her in place. She could hear Charsi busy berating the maverick so she knew she had plenty of time to get herself out of a bind. Soon enough Serah had freed herself and she wasn't too much worse for wear despite having a tree fall on her. (A few leaves stuck out of her armour, some paint was all scratched and scuffed, but no new gaping holes.)

Serah watched Brooks get to work on Vyper. Which had allowed H some room to attack Basilisk. He had stabbed his knife into the maverick's neck though that didn't seem to do much more than anger the maverick even further. Then he jabbed it again and held it there like he was waiting for something. Serah didn't know exactly what H's tactic would do, if it was meant to do anything, but it only seemed to have pissed the maverick off. Minigun fire erupted from it's newly unleashed weapons.

"How fair is that?" Serah complained to herself.
"It gets miniguns too?!"

"Well let's see how you like this." Serah muttered under her breath while she readied her own counter attack. Serah quickly fired her diffusion wave at Basilisk's new toys. The supercooled energy hit the side of one minigun and froze it. A second later the minigun exploded from pent up energy inside the gun having no where to go.
With one minigun down, Basilisk was even more lopsided, which caused the maverick to stagger and then pivot towards Serah. Her other minigun still firing, it's shots cleaving into trees while she spun. Several minigun shots hit Serah in the arm, sparks erupted from the holes, and Serah fell to her right to avoid more shots. Serah raised her buster while she was falling, when she hit the ground she unleashed several shots of plasma right into the Maverick's chest.

Basilisk staggered back from the impact of two plasma shots striking her in her chest. Black burn marks left an indication where the shots had hit. Things were not going quite as planned. Her targeting systems were down, that knife had severed a few connections in her neck and how she couldn't operate her right arm or some of her hidden compartments anymore. Plus she could feel something else... A strange suggestion wriggling in her mind. She didn't know what that was or where it'd come from. But she was trying to ignore it for now to focus on killing these hunters and completing her objective.

"I wasssss planning to wait to usssse thisssss" She hissed. At that moment she bent down and used her left arm to stick her right arm into the ground. Then she planted her left arm into the ground. Her tail straight out behind her gave a bit of a shudder as servos inside it failed to receive all the instructions. Instead of opening like normal, the top half of her tail simply exploded, sending shards of her armour to the ground. With that compartment open though, the inside was revealed to be a massive black tube. Compartments in her back popped open (some functioning, others merely forced open) to reveal another great tube. The one in the tail swung forward and linked into the bottom of the one from her back. The one from her back then extended out and upward to form a great artillery cannon.

"I sssssssshall blasssssst you jusssssst like I wasssss doing to your precioussssss hunter bassse momentssss ago." she stated. Her tail raised up to allow the massive cannon barrel to point down at Serah.

Serah looked directly down the barrel of the giant cannon and she could see energy building up at the base to prepare to fire a shot. Without really thinking, Serah leaped up and jammed her own Buster into the barrel of the cannon, wedging it in tight to prevent her from simply pulling her arm out.
This is going to hurt she thought while she engaged her hypermode to help negate some of the injury that was about to happen. A wave of black energy erupted off her body signifying the transformation had completed. Gone was her standard orange body colour scheme, replaced by a mainly black version except with blue crystals.
Serah primed her own new ability... the plasma bolt and charged all the energy she could in her arm in the limited time she had. A second later she unleashed the blast directly into the barrel of the cannon. Her own blast met Basilisk's intended shot...
A thunderous crack erupted as the barrel of the canon split open and Serah was wrenched away from Basilisk. Serah crashed against another tree a dozen feet away. Her black armor covered in burn marks, her right arm nearly entirely gone, just a few inched hanging from her shoulder. The rest having been completely destroyed from the explosion that broke Basilisk's canon barrel.


Serah looked up weakly from the tree where she rested at.
"Take that" she stated before her eyes closed and she shut down. A wave of black energy shot off then evaporated, revealing her normal armour colours, signifying that her hypermode had ended.

Basilisk meanwhile hadn't moved very far from the explosion of her cannon. Being planted on all fours helped to negate the shock from it. Though now without her largest weapon, Basilisk was even more enraged and the damage done to her was starting to be really noticeable. That suggestion she had been trying to ignore this whole time was becoming even harder to resist.
She went to stand up and her tail simply fell away along with the remains of her cannon.

OOC: There, hope that wasn't too over the top.
Also, Serah isn't dead, she's just really badly damaged.

[randomdrifter865]

As H ran off to do battle with Basalisk Brooks began working on Vyper's cranial and cerebral functions checking his laptop computer for diagrams and where to patch to keep her circuits protected for transport. In doing so he temporarily shut her down into a type of statis just in case her cerebral circuits were shorting while he patched away at her circuits with his small tools. Despite his smashed face Brooks was very accurate in his patching.

"Phew." "Vyper you are lucky I got here as soon as I could I just wish I was here sooner and you wouldn't have taken such a hit." said Brooks with a rather depressed frown. He then pulls out some rods out of his arms and begins preping for her teleport back to the medical bay. "He then specks on his comm system. "Calling medical bay." There is a bit of static for a bit and finally a female voice pops up."

"This is Medical Bay Head Nurse Unit Rom." "Is this Feild Medic Brooks?" said Rom over the comm.

"Yes this is Brooks here and I have unit by the name of Vyper who needs an immidiate teleport due to taking major head and cerebral damage." I have her preped and ready for immidate telep..."

Brooks get interupped by Rom. "Unfortunately due to some artillary attack the teleport system is out of order and right now we are very full." "You are gonna have to do the operation right there."

"Wait what!?" "I am only a feild medic not a full fledged doctor!" said Brooks rather angerally. "I am not even fully equipped for that task."

His Comm starts to go off as Rom's voice starts to static. "Did-d you re-receive your new feil-d upgrade?" "If so you should have some new nanite programs that allow you to access to a damaged units cerebral circuits and is should do the repair just fine.

"Wait what?" "I only have one use on nanite infusion left in me and unfortunately I don't think it will be enough because the damage she recieved is very serious and out of my hands!"

His comm starts to speck with Rom's voice. "With the upgrade all you need is one use of nanite infusion to communicate with her cerebral circuits via her systems. "If she is that damaged as you say you may need to directly link her to your armtop computer just pull off the external wire from your comp and it should morph according to her system diagnostic to fit the cable in the right mechanism in her cerebral unit and it should be smooth sailing from there."

"But wait what about memory damage?" "Wouldn't my wire just cause more damage to her program?"

Brooks comm statics and Rom's voice is breifly heard. "You-u ar-re gonna have to to to. His communication completely shorts out.

"Dammit!" "What choice do I have now?" said Brooks rather angerally. He closes his eyes briefly and then a wire slowly comes out of his armtop and it immiediately morphs to match the connection point in Vypers cerebral unit according to her plans that built her. Brooks then goes over Vyper's head and sticks the wire in the patched area and it slowly moves around inside slowly and carefully searching for the connection point in her cerebral unit. And then Brooks' armtop makes a beeping sound indicating it has found the point and is now waiting for a response for the repair. "Activate full cerebral unit repair now." Than another beeping sound is made and on his visor screen it says operation confirmed beginning cerebral unit repair. Another beeping sound is made and soon Brooks wire glows a very light blue.

During this time the battle was raging on and Basilisk took quite a bit of damage from the virus and the attacks made by both H and Serah and because of this forced basilisk to perform her strongest attack.

"I sssssssshall blasssssst you jusssssst like I wasssss doing to your precioussssss hunter bassse momentssss ago." she stated. Her tail raised up to allow the massive cannon barrel to point down at Serah.

"Serah what are you doing!" Said Charsi rather frantically. Unfortunatly due to how loud the sound of the charging energy her words could not be heard which at that time Serah revealed her hyper mode and looked like she was charging up for an attack and than a huge thunderclap rang and soon the beam fired sending Serah flying into a tree a dozen feet away which Charsi hit the ground and brased for some force impact which there was a bit of force ,but that didn't scruff her up much.

Basilisk meanwhile hadn't moved very far from the explosion of her cannon. Being planted on all fours helped to negate the shock from it. Though now without her largest weapon, Basilisk was even more enraged and the damage done to her was starting to be really noticeable. That suggestion she had been trying to ignore this whole time was becoming even harder to resist.
She went to stand up and her tail simply fell away along with the remains of her cannon.

Charsi gets right back up on her feet granted she studder stepps and loses a bit of balance , she was very angry. In doing so she invoked her Hypermode and soon the Lavender beauty changed into a silver armored beauty. Charsi then walks in for the kill strike which Basilisk enraged due to the virus getting stronger and the damage inflicted earlier she didn't even notice Charsi slowly closing in and soon her tip of her energy saber glinted silver breifly indicated she was making use of her specail technique Pure Silver. In doing so Charsi began to vibrate a bit hinting she was gaining power and soon she runs in shouting. "Pure Silver!" and with a flash of light the sounds of energy saber strikes were heard along with metal slashing Basilisk had no clue what was going on and behind her Charsi appeared like she teleported ,but in reality she was moving at a far faster speed than Basilisk's sensors could not comprehend and soon silver marks appeared throughout her body where Charsi slashed the maverick avoiding its core ,but severing her head completely its arms and several part of its body.

"What isss thisss?" "I feels pain!" "What did you do to my body!?" Basilisk tries to turn around. Charsi then sheaths her saber slowly and counts down to herself. With that Basilisk hissed very loudly and soon she started to fall part and by the the count of ten that hissing ended and the maverick was silenced when the sound of Charsi's saber reached the end of its sheathing. Ping! Then Basilisk simplly fell apart with the sounds of metal falling off circuitry shorting and fluids oozing out of the remains of the maverick.

OCC: I hope this isn't too over the top and unbeliveable I mean Basilisk was already severely damaged and the virus in her was confusing her and she was basically raging because of the pain making a lot of hisses she wasn't paying attention to Charsi so is Basilisk dead now? Or is the death just too much? Or should I have set this up a tad better than that ruroni BS? I can redo the post if you will unless any of you want a better or believeable kill strike?

After the other hunters got Basalisk's attention H sat up with minor difficulty and began to examine the damage he'd taken. Probably a dozen bullets to his left leg and side, it could've been much worse if Basalisk had managed to train her gun on him, but as she hadn't seen exactly where he'd fallen and her targeting systems were damaged, H supposed spraying rounds of bullets indiscriminately was her best chance of actually hitting him. And for a reploid, a couple of bullets to non vital areas was nothing, he'd stop at the med bay upon returning to HQ and they'd sort out the damage quickly enough.

Still, he was angry with himself for having taken that risk. He'd cut the power to the cannons, risked his life to rescue that Vyper girl and now he'd recklessly involved himself in battle with a giant forest clearing lizard maverick. There was no reason to take risks when there were hunters like Serah and Vyper willing to go whatever lengths to get the job done - and look how they turned out! At least H could walk himself back to the base. Not that he'd be walking of course, the hunters would probably be ready to teleport them back any minute now.

The sound of another explosion rocked the forest where the hunters were. Ballistic Basilisk's body exploded sending fragments clattering across the ground.

With that, Alia radioed in:
"Hunter Base here, we detected that maverick's signature disappear. We're preparing to bring you all home. So just hold on a second."

Once Alia finished speaking, the team vanished in a blink of light. They arrived at Hunter base milliseconds later.

Serah and Vyper were whisked off towards the Medical bay for proper medical treatments. Field techniques were ok, but proper medical treatment was the only way to ensure a full repair.

Debriefing would wait until a few days later when everyone was all patched up...

OOC:

Remember to pick up your new Maverick Moves from these:

• Stone Bomber - Buster - Shoots a small capsule at high speeds. When the capsule strikes something it breaks apart and spreads a nasty brown sludge that hardens into rock.
• Cluster Slasher - Saber - With the swing of the saber, several small stone-like capsules are released. When they strike they explode, sending fragments outward.
• Stonesplash Grenade - Knuckle - When activated, creates an apple sized sphere that explodes, on contact or after several seconds (whichever occurs first), and showers everything close with a mix of projectiles and the brown sludge that hardens.
