Log started: 11/12/02 10:54:27 PM Seoul - United Nations Plaza It is here that most of the world's decisions are made. The kind of power here reflects in the architecture, with the HUGE UN building that holds the General Assembly. Blue and dome shaped in design, it is the only one in the world of its kind, and workplace to the thousands that work here. The perimeter of the General Assembly building is surrounded the flags of every country that has a seat, which is nearly everyone. Outside are a number of other large office buildings, ranging from delegate bureau's, to the Headquarters of the UN PoLIce, to a RepLIforce office. Constantly patrolled and guarded by UN PoLIce, safety is among an utmost concern after the infamous April Fools Day Massacre. Despite that, the place is a very safe environment.

Perhaps a prolonged chase was not worth its effort. The one staring down the other Mavericks continues to do so, GLaring at the Cow as if daring her to attack him. Waiting to see if she will. Several of them do break off from the Stardroids, seeking the targets among those who do fight back...the RepLIforce. One shadow swipes at Gunsmith Cat, descending from the air, then almost falLIng at her with an extended claw. It's struck by her attack, and seems wounded, holes in its form, but it still moves, and persists. Another, staying to the ground, moves on Harmony again, trying to grab her with its arms, sink claws into her sides. Those near the building push their Stardroid foes back... away from the rest of the crowds, breaking the circle sLIghtly as their numbers finally diminish. Outside> Harmony shakes her head a bit, and then jumps at the site of Gunsmith getting attacked as well. Looking down, she sees that she's also a target. Eyes widening at the claws coming up to grab at her, she stumbles back away from it. None of her weapons can harm these things, she generally helpless. Outside> Cyclops stares at the nearest shadow, the one GLaring at him and Cleaver Cow, before just snapping. With a bright, bright flash from his red orb of an eye a laser of energy streaks out at the shadow, before Cyclops sighs, shaking his head, before looking around. Outside> Cleaver Cow doesn't seem incLIned to attack. She has no hand, but that doesn't mean it's going to be used for menacing purposes! She steps back, adjusting the aim on the camera to get 'Stardroids', then the shadow GLaring at her...which is zapped. On film. Cool. [Radio: (D) RF-MH-UN-Chat] RF MSE Prismatic Spider transmits, "Any Hunters available with a Timestopper?" Outside> Firestorm Phoenix raises a brow ridge as the shadow near him simply vanishes, "Facinating." The firebird returns to his rooftop pirch and after a careful look around he resumes his vigil, watching the battle unfold below him, obviouisly with no intent to actually help, as seems to be the case with the rest of the Mavericks. Outside> Fusion Phoenix is again ignored? Well, this gives him ample chance to do some more scaning of these creatures, for the moment, untill he notices Harmony's pLIght. Outside> Gunsmith Cat frowns as the shadow swipes at her, blocking it on her forearm claw'guard', then notes Harmony being attacked. "Now that's just not nice." Armor seems to flow off of her form, leaving behind a brilLIant blue GLow, power flaring and whiting out her body in it's corona as she retrieves her guns from their back mounts. All that can be seen through the luminescence is a pair of GLIttering green eyes, before the GLow snaps out, replaced by flares of color. Red streaks, blurred grey projectiles, blue and white spheres, green beams of brilLIance, and a huge purple cannon blast erupt from her body, mixed with swarming missiles as every shadow gets it's fair 'share' of destruction launched at it. As the volleys finally end, her armor falls away, the powerpacks fading into subspace along with most of her weaponry as their power fades, leaving only wisps of blue in the air from the nitrogen vents of her missile launchers. Outside> Gunsmith Cat changes into her LIght armor. Seoul - United Nations Plaza It is here that most of the world's decisions are made. The kind of power here reflects in the architecture, with the HUGE UN building that holds the General Assembly.

And, as suddenly as they appeared... the creatures vanish. All of the shadows disappearing. One blasted by Cyclops dies with the red laser GLow... A whole pack of them vanishes at once, screaming in pain and terror as Gunsmith's assault rips them from shadowy LImb to shadowy LImb. All are gone, except one. And that one grows taller, larger, then, alters form, becoming more soLId, and starting to take on just the faintest of color before it assumes the form of a giant. A Stardroid giant, with one enormous hand... The voice of Duo booms across the plaza, as he looms over the smaller Stardroids, now unsurrounded, below him. "Well done, defenders of Earth. Consider tonight a test...of your wilLIngness to put aside your differences to defeat a greater foe." He pauses, and levels his gaze at the RepLIforcers. "The RepLIforce, brave enough to do battle with the foe they percieved, even against those who would oppress them... we will destroy...LAST." That seems odd. Something is up, maybe... "The Mavericks and Hunters, foes who continued to do battle the moment the Stardroids turned their backs on this planet, should prepare for annihilation." A pause. "The only group among you to be completely spared will be the Robot Masters, because, even though they aren't here to aid our people tonight...as I once stated, they are the whole damn show." ...Oh. Something's definitely up. 'Duo' grins at the gathered. "Any questions?" Sunstar then comes to stand straight up, lowering his weapon, and sneering at those gathered, save his companion and superior. " FooLIsh, fooLIsh earthLIngs. So weak and pathetic..." With a flash of heat and flame, Sunstar dissapears from the area... Gunsmith Cat snorts, "Go away, giant head in the sky. If you actually think anyone is stupid enough to fall for this, you're barkin' mad. Go away, and take your Robot Master 'brothers' with you before I show you what that attack does to ONE PERSON." Harmony lowers an eyebrow, things happen fast, don't they? "..um. Yeah, how about.. why are you not a good actor? Couldn't they pick somebody who isn't lame to pretend to be Duo?" Yeah! ..right on.... sister. Saturn nods in satisfaction to Duo. That's our boss. Then he walks away. He's Saturn, what are you going to do, try to stop him? He'll send you into a black hole or something. Morph Moth goes home. Morph Moth has left. Pharaoh Man goes home. Pharaoh Man has left. Firestorm Phoenix eyes 'Duo' and sighs, the ruse revealed for what it really is with a sinGLe sLIp of the tongue. Annoyed Firestorm simply takes off. Serena Gilbert steps out of the UN, and eyes Duo... before looking at Gunsmith. "Ya know, sugah. Ah personally wouldn't mind seein' that." Cleaver Cow eyes the head, but she doesn't say anything about it. At all. Instead she starts to head back to her bike, since there seems to be LIttle else, Stardroid-wise. The camera gets tucked in her missing hand, before the hand comes back out - with no camera. Guts Man keeps eating his ice cream. "Mmmmm brain freeze." Gunsmith Cat sighs, and makes her way back to base to recharge and let her armor regenerate. Shadow Man goes home. Shadow Man has left. Duo kind of...flops, sitting down in the square in a giant bulk of holographic/android illusion. "Hm," He crosses his arms, looking a bit LIke a spoiled kid. "Didn't have ANY of you fooled at ALL?" He rolls his eyes. "People aren't even good for a laugh anymore." He bLInks... "We'll laugh anyway." And, then, he throws back his head in a Stardroid-sized belly laugh. Gunsmith Cat peers at 'Duo'... Then pulls out Mr. Megaphone, dialLIng it to 'eleven'. "SEEK PSYCHIATRIC HELP GEMINI MAN!" Before stuffing it away and going home. Harmony rolls her eyes, and trudges home. So, she missed the special on HSN for Fondu Makers for this? VERY disappointing. Harmony goes home. Harmony has left. Gunsmith Cat goes home. Gunsmith Cat has left. Serena Gilbert draws out her own megaphone. Lady Biatch Megaphone. Pernamently set at 'Twenty'. For those days when PMSing just isn't enough. "GET SOME NEW JOKES, GEMINI MAN!!! AND TALK TA A DOCTOR ALL OF YER BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! 'CAUSE YA'LL BEYOND NEEDIN' PSYCHOLOGY!!!" Serena Gilbert stalks back in the UN proper. -_-
