Salvation: Part II

Vigor unholsters his pistol, regretting holstering it.
He opened fire on one of the sentinels not controlled by Zepar. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:7230, topic:49995”]
The Sentinel keeps its shield raised as it picks itself up off the floor, crouching to hide more of itself behind the energy barrier.

Lightshift grumbles and rolls a grenade at the Sentinel, aiming to roll it under/through the shield, depending on how it works.

OOC: If you’ve ever seen the Clone Wars show, and watched the episodes about the Onderon rebellion, this is kinda like that technique.

The shot strikes the Sentinel in the shoulder, and the drone shifts its attention to Vigor accordingly.

The grenade hits the shield and explodes, destroying the barrier and causing the Sentinel to stagger, backward.

Topside, Sprocket, and Broadband proceed further into the colony ship. Topside clearly wanted to be somewhere else, whereas by contrast, Sprocket looked like he wanted to stay here forever, while Broadband simply had her hammers deployed in the likely event that something on this ship jumped out to kill her.

Epsilon kept looking at the device. It looked really important…almost like the Onega Lock everyone was talking about but he didn’t want to touch it for fear that it would trip security measures.


Zepar dives to dodge the attack and keeps trying to reach the faux-Atlantis.

“Joy.” Vigor dryly commented. He fired again. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:7232, topic:49995”]

Lightshift raised his assault rifle and fired it at the Sentinel, standing up and moving forwards.

The claw strikes the dirt behind Zepar, and Atlantis heaves his blade at Zepar’s midsection.

The Sentinel deploys its shield to deflect the shot. Keeping the barrier active, the drone charges at Vigor.

The Sentinel charges at Lightshift through the barrage, stabbing at Lightshift’s chest.


There were no visible defenses within the chamber, though there was always the possibility that one false move could trigger hidden security mechanisms.

Vigor rolls out of the way and quickly pops up, trying to fire at the Sentinel’s back. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:7235, topic:49995”]

Lightshift narrowly dodges the attack. He swings the butt of his rifle at the Sentinel’s head.

Epsilon tries to look for something to tell him if the device functioned and if there was someone he could talk to about this craft.


Zepar tries to vault over the large weapon and use that momentum to try and cut off the head of the faux-Atlantis.

Vigor successfully flanks the Sentinel, and his shots strike the ancient machine between the shoulder blades.

A CLANG is heard as metal strikes metal, and the Sentinel staggers backward.

The Twilight Saber rings as it slices through the neck of the faux-Atlantis. Energon, sparks, tiny gears and transistors, and bits of circuitry rain down onto the earth, and the giant’s head hits the dirt with a soft thud, its body following in short order.


There were terminals emerging from the walls throughout the ship, and one of Epsilon’s companions might be able to shed some light on things.

Zepar turns to face the faux-Hyperborea with a look that said, “you’re next.”


“I wish these things were in Neo-Cybex or that I knew Ancient.” Epsilon mutters, “Hey, guys!” He calls on the comlink, “I found a thing and there are screens around it I can’t read.”

Vigor continues firing at the Sentinel. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:7238, topic:49995”]

Lightshift flips his rifle around and fires at the Sentinel’s head.

The faux-Hyperborea roars back in response, spreading her wings.

Both Sentinels are felled.


“Where are you?” Sprocket immediately replies, his tone eager.

Epsilon sends Sprocket directions to his location.


Zepar squares up with the giant automaton and tries to summon his Sentinel to his side.

The two brothers look around for any more enemies, and Thrust joins them.

The giant facsimile of Hyperborea was the only active foe remaining. She takes flight and digs her claws into the spire of metal rising out of the far wall, challenging our heroes to do their worst.

@BlackBeltGamer98 OOC: I’ll let you have full control of the Sentinel Zepar corrupted.


IC:

“Alright, I’ll be there in a second!” Sprocket says.

The Sentinel, moving very unnaturally like a zombie in some sort of state of constant seizure, joins Zepar and the two charge at the giant automaton, Zepar takes to the air while the Sentinel tries to attack it at ground level.


“Thanks.” Epsilon says, resuming his examining, without touching it, of this strange device while he waited for Sprocket.

The three brothers transformed and combined into Split, who loaded his shotgun and formed the crescent into a large sword.
“Bring it.” the combiner growled.

Perched upon the spire, Hyperborea was out of the corrupted Sentinel’s reach. She blasts a jet of verdant plasma at Zepar.

Split switched his shotgun to the semi-auto mode and started to fire at Hyperborea, although he was only able to get a few shots in before his weapon began to overheat, as it often did.

Zepar tries to evade the flames and keeps heading for faux-Hyperborea.

The Sentinel begins trying to climb the spire to try and reach the giant automaton.

The shots strike Hyperborea’s side, and the dragon leaps off the spire to attack Split.

Jumping down toward the ground allows Hyperborea to evade Zepar.
