The Green Knight rears up onto her hind legs, using her forelegs to swat at Gronius’ claws, before unleashing another attack from her breath weapon.
Gronius catches her hands in the air, before getting under her and attempting to throw her upwards, into the ceiling.
“Did anyone else call this world their home?” He asked.
The blast of energy from the Green Knight’s mouth hits Gronius before he could do this, forcing him backward and burning his armor.
Atlantis shakes his head.
“No; the Knights of Cybertron left this world after we hid the next Omega Key within this fortress.”
He then raises his head, accessing millions nof years’ worth of records detailing this planet’s history.
“A ship crashed in the southern hemisphere, some centuries after our departure,” he realizes. “There did not seem to be any survivors.”
“What sort of ship?” He asked, looking at the statues and mosaics(?).
The art in the chamber was expertly crafted, and dutifully maintained by the fortress to withstand the passage of time. A combination of life-size statues of the Thirteen (sans Liege Maximo) relief carvings of battles fought between the Heralds of Unicron and the tragic end of the War of the Primes, mosaics made from energon crystals, and holographic murals depicting the cybertronian colonies.
Curiously, Zepar and the Splitter brothers might notice faint, shimmering anomalies overhead, as if the holo-projectors were failing to recreate a few images. Ghostly flashes of rings of violent metal, silver plates revolving around a glowing yellow orb, and a grey moon orbiting a red gas giant flicker in and out of view, accompanied by fragments of cyberglyphic text and religious symbols.
Atlantis holds up his hand, and a tiny image of a Knight ship, with a round body and five curving arms extending from its sides, appears above his palm.
“A cruiser,” he says. “tempest class. The Undaunted Sentinel, according to its distress message.”
OOC:…how? Gronius was literally in front of her while she was raising her claws in the air. If anything, such a position should have made the her own shot harder.
SideStep attempts to block the attack with his axe, firing his rifle at the Knight’s belly.
OOC: She’s looking down at Gronius while on her hind legs, and the attack was made before Gronius got closer to her. You didn’t have Gronius react to it, and per policy, that means I get to decide how it impacts him.
IC:
SideStep successfully blocks the Green Knight’s strike, and the shot from his rifle causes her to falter.
OOC: But for one, Gronius was already close to her, he was right in front of her, and second he trying to get under her was my response for all of this.
OOC: okay, I’ll give it to ya.
IC: The Green Knight feels surprisingly light as Gronius lifts her into the air. She transforms to robot mode, causing the Autobot to lose his grip.
He would throw her behind him, before also turning for robot mode and shooting his guns multiple times at her chest and head.
The shots connect, and spiderweb cracks from across the Green Knight’s chest and head, aglow with a white aura. Seeming unaffected by whatever pain she may have been feeling, she climbs to her feet, brandishing her sword.
Gronius growls as he takes back his sword and goes for a slash.
The Green Knight raises her shield, intercepting the strike, before sweeping her blade at Gronius’s side.
Gronius jumps backwards, before shooting at the knight’s head.
The Green Knight falls over as the shot hits hear head. Her body vanishes in a flash of light.
Gronius stares for a few moments at the place where the guard supposed to be, before turning around and running forward in the tunnel.
As Gronius proceeded deeper into the facility, the corridors became more shapely and well-maintained. Soon, however, he’d come to to a wide door, sealed shut and guarded by the two knight sentinels… and the Green Knight.
“How… the slag?” he asked, more angry than confused.
