[Last Stand] Strike Knights - The Shuffle Stars, THE FUTURE IS TELEVISED

PixelScum: Jan 21, 2009; I'M GOING BEARZERK

WHEN THE POWER OF EVIL FALLS FROM THE DARK MOON, WHO WILL DEFEND THE POPULACE? (STRIKE KNIGHTS!)
WHEN THE STARS UNITE AGAINST THE CITIES OF THE WORLD, WHO WILL FIGHT BACK? (STRIKE KNIGHTS!)
ONCE AGAIN THE FALSE STAR HAS FALLEN AND WE CALL UPON YOU TO BRING BRIGHT, BRIGHT JUSTICE. (STRIKE KNIGHTS!)

The call went out today at 13:32. Your shuffle watches started glowing your signature colors, and beeped once. The message: A residential area on the south island of Alpha City was being attacked. Film crews haven't been able to get a good look at it and it seems to be avoiding existing camera drones deliberately. We've evacuated the area but the amount of collateral damage implies it's heading straight for South Island's reactor, which would be disastrous for South Island AND Alpha City.

Each of you is necessary, each of you has your own transportation method. NOW GO!

What this means is you guys get to write your arrivals in typical toku-flashy style as you regroup in a park near the latest bits of destruction. Y'all have free reign with this, if you want to arrive in a drop pod, do it. If you want a rider motorcycle, do it. When I say park though I mean residential, so it's lots of grass and maybe like a sandbox and some basic jungle gym type poo poo for kids.

Waffleman_: Jan 20, 2011; I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

The black and green warrior races to the scene on her motorcycle, recklessly moving through the streets and alleys. Sure, she hits a few building and cars along the way, but someone else will pay for it! As she arrives in the park, she dramatically skids to a stop, leaping off the motorcycle with a flip and landing on the edge of a nearby slide. She hops off and strikes a heroic pose, shouting out her carefully rehearsed catchphrase.

"Those who would threaten the peace of the land shall receive no mercy! The souls of the wicked shall be judged! Wanna take a gamble? Just try me! Blackjack has arrived!"

Kasper "Crazy 8" Ruben

Kasper is lounging by a pool when he gets the call. He finishes off the last of his cheese fries, licking his fingers. "You couldn't wait until tomorrow to destroy the city? I was having such a relaxing day."

He steps around behind the locker room, and holds his Shuffle Watch across his chest. He traces an '8' in the air with his hands, the outline glowing with energy, and then punches through. The air cracks and falls away, and brilliant energy flows through to transform him into Crazy 8!

"I'd better not be late." He hits the switch on his wrist and steps through the portal, stepping out on top of a jungle gym at the park.

"Your punishment for these crimes...is infinite!"

"Aw poo poo." Jane groans and slowly opens her eyes. "Hey, get dressed. I gotta go to work."

"Wait wha-"

"Do I look like I got time to repeat myself? It was fun, see you later, get out of my house."

Now

A helicopter in red and black flies over the LZ, fast. Doesn't even slow down to try and land. A figure clinging to the side grins (not that anyone can see) and drops off the side as it passes over, with a shout of "AWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

With a thunderous boom there's another crater in the street, and Calamity Jane stands up in the center, index finger pointed at the target site (and the cameras.)

"Who dares? I DARE! Anyone who gets in my way..."

She smacks a fist into her palm, and the suit lights flare. "Will get crushed!"

"This book is going too fast!"
The watch on Raul's wrist begins to beep. "Sorry kids, I've got Urgent Librarian Business to do. I'll ask Lillian to finish off the book for you. Be good!

" And to a chorus of tiny goodbyes, Raul Hernandez ducks away, ready for what ever.

Now
In the air floats the strains of calliope music, audible to all present. Above the rooftops floats a...dirigible? The gaudily painted craft slows to a halt above the park, and a single rope drops down to the ground. A white-caped figure, descends rapidly, cawing like a cockrel at the break of dawn. Landing a tad roughly, the figure dusts some dirt off his cape. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, this afternoon's main attraction, CLear Joker!" The figure poses, and confetti shoots out behind him in two bursts. "Iiiiiiittt's SHOWTIME!!"

Coleridge "Cola" "Jack of Hearts" Sunbeamer

13:32

Cola was splayed out across a cartoonishly multicolored towel on the beach, asleep in the sun with a surfboard poking up out of the sand, looking out onto the horizon. The watch on his wrist lets out its absurdly catchy beeping siren, causing the giant flowing pink anemone that is Cola's hair to stir, and him to stare at the watch with sleepy frustration. "mmmmgrm...hm? Wha?" Slamming awake, Cola flips around and sits up, looking at the watch. "...awwww snap. Looks like it's morphin' time!" With that notion, he scrambles up with his surfboard and towel and books it to his '70's Holden station wagon.

Now

With the rest of the group having assembled, there's a brief pause. Suddenly, there is a pink and silver dot in the sky, gliding and spiraling, contrails following it as it flies towards the park. There's a brief presence, a hint of music and force, before the nature of the dot is revealed. There he is, one of the Strike Knights! And what the hell is he riding?

A real, honest to god, jet surfboard, playing surf rock from some unseen speakers. Flying through the air, straight towards the ground.

With a simple twist along the air tubs, the pink-as-hell Strike Knight drives the surfboard almost to impact, corkscrewing along the way until he almost crashes. Just then, he kicks off of the board, and the board simply...vanishes. As if it were nothing, the Strike Knight crashes into the ground, sliding along the dirt with ease as if he had just hopped off a ledge. He comes to a stop with a simple twist, his jacket adding to the twist as he gives a thumbs up to the rest of the group. "Don't worry guys, the party can start, cause the Jack of Hearts just got dealt!" With that, Jack of Hearts pumps a fist into the air. "COME ON! ARE YOU READY GUYS?!" He throws up the hang-ten sign into the air, the sun shining between his fingers. "GET YA KOWABUNGA ON BRAH!"

The lot of you arrive just in time to see a massive explosion rock district a few cul-de-sacs over, sending a rain of debris your way as well as forcing a wave of dust cloud in all directions.

A longbore rifle with a rotary magazine in the shape of an 8 materializes in his hands. He slides to a halt behind a fence, and levels the Octet Needler. Now if only Jane's rampage hadn't made it so hard to see what the heck was going on!

Jane crashes into something big, something hard and nasty. Foul hot air vents all around her as empty air begins to flicker and a massive eye opens, pink and yellow. The air flickers more and the threat is revealed.

It's massive reptilian body covered in bony plates and sharp edges everywhere. Its long rough, sharp tongue wrapped around a gas tank it seems to have ripped out of a car squeezes, crushing it and showering the creature with gasoline.

It disappears even as it drops the gas tank to the ground.

Since it's taking ANY damage to leader, it hits 0 on leader, and 6 to operative at K Prime's spillover choice. Unfortunately it doesn't have poo poo to rip on leader. For the record, it's a chameleon so if you don't 0 out it's operative it's going to be immune to ranged attacks for the duration of the fight.
Edit: Oh lol, forgot to edit in the roll.

OH YEAH, for the record you guys can assume I automatically set out the combat bribe, so if you want more tokens you can choose to go after I go instead of before individually. Right now combat bribes are at 1 token for everyone. Every new round I place another token in front of you before actions are taken (this means if say K Prime took the combat bribe next round, he'd go after the enemies but get two tokens in return.)

Suddenly, doors are kicked down and lizard-like humanoid figures start charging the agents who haven't already engaged the chameleon, attacking with wicked and gleaming claws.

14 against Crazy 8
These are all operative attacks since it's a sneak attack, so y'all need to defend with that.

14 against Jane
Tactician attack since it's using it's tongue to be a bastard and split the group further.

Kasper lines up his sights on the blurred outline of the chameleon. He's trying to focus in on the thing's vitals, but something makes the hair on the back of his neck itch.

He's already flipping away from the nearby house as the lizardman tries to catch him unaware. "Let me show you how it's done, handbag." With a quick twist, he vaults around a tree branch and is flying back on a collision course with the reptilian attacker, humming energy blades bursting from his wrists.

When the chameleon-beast charged at Jack of Hearts, he simply leaped right over the top of it. With a combat roll, Jack slides into position, his gloves lighting up with a white-pink energy. His gloves whir to life, going into overdrive as nano-fabricators weave a pair of automatic pistols into his hands, with giant stylized hearts slapped right on the sides. "RAWK ON!" Jack's belt calls out, lighting up alongside the gloves with sharp starlight.

Looking up, Jack sees that Jane is getting wrapped up into a sticky situation. "HEY! GEICO!" Jack says as he kicks up into the air, launching forward as he dives. "I GOT TWO PARKING TICKETS FOR YOU! TICKETS TO THE GUN SHOW!" With that cheesy line, Jack gets up close...and swings his arms to pistol whip the chameleon thing in the back of the head.

One of the reptile-men takes Jackie's fist to the face and goes flying; accompanied by a shower of sparks.
One down!
Kasper manages to counter the reptile-man with his own attack and then immediately follow it up with a vicious slash, slamming them into a car with a shower of sparks.
Another down!
Clear Joker hurls the reptile-man into the ground, causing it to explode into sparks. Twice. In the distance one can hear the contented sigh of a man who remembers both the sega saturn and it's true hero even as the spade blade blasts the third and final reptile-man completely by accident, sending them smashing through a house's window.
Last two down
Cola counters his own reptile-man and smashes into the Chameleon and sends it reeling into a van, it's cloaking sputtering for a moment.
You zero out the chameleon's disruptor, pick a stat to do two damage to.
Rolls are effort and I'll deal with them later, ugh finally back in the saddle sorry for the wait y'all.
The chameleon rages at Cola and immediately grabs and tosses a bus at Cola, hoping to both get a shield and stop hurt him in the same go. The bus' engine starts to smoke as it slides toward Cola.
<Krysmbot> Drakkar, 7+5 = 12 Tactician and it'll count as Cracks & Fissures for terrain it's in. "When you enter this sector, you take one damage unless you roll 12 or better on a relevant stat. Creatures
with Flight take no damage and don�t have to roll." On top of that if you deal collateral you'll also deal it to the bus, and if it takes 3 or more damage it'll explode and deal 3 to everything in the sector and 1 to every sector around it.
It immediately starts to scrabble backwards, now with a sector of bus between it and both Cola & Jane.

React and then you guys will get round 3, which means everyone can take the bribe and take 3 tokens instead of 2 except for Jane who's taken her tokens last round and can only take one this one.

Jane
L:7 O:2 T:2(1) D:7

Still gripping the tongue, Jane starts hauling backwards. "I don't think so, smartass! GET OVER HERE!" With a grunt, Jane yanks. The chameleon is a little stickier than expected, so rather than coming back the two sort of meet in the middle, in midair, as the tongue rebounds. Jane raises a hand, open palm.

"GET DUNKED!"

With a meaty slap, the overgrown lizard is sent plummeting into the engine, which breaks a lot of parts of both.

Jane lands. Poses with a thumb up. Rotates it to thumb down.

The engine explodes.

"AW YEAH!"

KPrime, 10 = 10, 9 = 9 +2 = 12
Entering the engine sector with Operative, just barely not catching fire.
KPrime, 8 = 8, 8 = 8+7 = 15 disrupting a betongued chameleon with WEDDING CRASHER. One damage and the chameleon is dragged back here.
KPrime, 9 = 9, 6 = 6 +7 =16
GROUNDING THAT CHAMELEON! I win the wager, putting me at 5 tokens total, and remove the Cracks field effect with someone's BLOOD

Tokens: 4

Alright NOW I'm takin' that bribe, also gonna overclock straight to the Operative, cause screw that guy.

"HAHA, YEAH BUDDY!" And then the Chameleon thing decides to fling an engine, skidding it across the ground. "Wha- oh dude NOT COOL!" At that, Cola makes a quick backflip, skidding along the ground by his heels as he brakes. He did not expect that thing to be conscious enough to move, let alone throw a tantrum and a giant engine block in his direction. This would complicate things...
