Colony Drop

Who: Char, the forces of Zeon (any or all of you who want to contribute), whatever allies decided to show up on short notice, and Viridi's minions as NPCed by her mun
What: Defending Zeon from Viridi's Reset Bomb
When: Dawn on July 2
Where: The skies above Zeon and the sea to the west of Zeon
Warnings: It's a combat log

Aboard the Rewloola - and surrounding it with every airship Char could muster in an hour - Zeon's defense forces array themselves on the predicted course of the nature goddess's meteoric wrath. Higher than anyone normally travels, all guns, bows, arrows, and anything else they could conceivably throw at the incoming Reset Bomb were trained up and westward. Char himself is ready with rifle and Nightingale, as much as those would even help - at the very least he could defend his artillery from any breakaway rocks or defending nature spirits.

"All ships," Char says, his words transcribed into signal flags to communicate with the other airship commanders even as he speaks over his Crystal to his higher-ranking soldiers. "We've sighted the meteor approaching at high speed from the west. All units are to move toward it at full speed and come about once it is within one half mile. Attempt to match speeds with it or safely enter its wake to maintain fire for as long as possible. We have about five minutes on target to destroy it, starting in two from this point. You are to do everything in your ability to grind it into dust before it strikes our homeland. Sieg Zeon!"

That curt set of instructions finished, Char gives to command to his captain to begin the all-ahead-full charge toward the interception point, all the while glaring up at the falling star. Nothing like this will happen to Zeon on his watch, even if he has to create a miracle with his own hands. That's what people like Zeon's do.

Pantheon HO!

A wide, telepathic net has just been constructed in an instant. Palutena and Viridi weren't the only gods watching. For example, the gods of the Netherworld and Hell had a lot riding on whether or not the Reset Bomb strikes Zeon. From beneath the earth and within the fiery caverns of Hell, a certain ruler of Hell watches the battles unfold.

"Well, well, there I was with my back turned for just a few decades, wiping out the last of the rabble defying me here in the Underworld, and look what's happening! Pretty Palutena and all the little humans are squabbling over a little bomb dropped from the skies by Rosebud's minions. My, I have been missing out on a lot in the human world, haven't I? Or was this a show planned out just for little ol' me? You shouldn't have.

I've returned as good as new and as good as the Ruler of Hell can be."

"... Hades."

The level of disdain in the Angel of Light's voice was beyond exceptional. Borne of a long anger towards the newest ruler of hell - the kind only a former goddess could muster.

"Word around the brimstone cauldron is that you were given a demotion. From the goddess of light to one of Crystie's angels, you were so close to falling, yet you've managed to catch yourself by a thin, proverbial hook.

Just what happened since the good ol' days?"

"The years you spent singing those silly hymns for Crystie really made you callous. I mean, even you realize just how many gods and goddesses didn't or couldn't make the cut. Being swept across the globe into nonexistence doesn't leave room to make compromises the way you did.

I weep for all of them."

"Maybe you misremember - but you're just as annoying now as you were back then."

Palutena is, of course, nonplussed as Hades' crocodile tears for the countless lost gods and goddesses.

"Oh, but there is one big difference between then and now. Now that I'm the acting 'necessary absolute evil' of your religion, aren't we technically on the same side? If you think about it, I might even be your superior now."

"Woe is the day when I agree with this scumbag, but he has a point. You're contractually obliged not to destroy him until the End of Days."

The voice that cuts in almost sounds smug.

"Too bad you sided with the Crystal Thing, huh? Don't worry, Palutena; I'll take the job of utterly obliterating him off your hands."

"Destroying is one thing. Stopping the inevitable plans and schemes of and possibly beating within an inch of destruction? Quite another."

"Who dragged you out of the compost heap?"

Viridi's voice is punctuated by a minor explosion as a Lurchthorn headbutts one of the airships.

"Go away, Hades. I'm busy."

"Ignore him, Viridi. He's just waiting to mooch off the crumbs of your victory," Izanami says, though from where it's hard to say. Presumably she's off preparing at the site of the Bomb's projected impact. "Hades here is the ultimate bottom-feeder, after all."
forceofnature: (Unsure)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2012-07-03 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bottom-feeder? Scavengers and decomposers play a vital and irreplaceable part in the proper scheme of every working ecosystem."

Viridi pauses.

"Hades is more of a... waste byproduct."

"True, true, scavengers and carrion-eaters are usually far more loveable than him," Izanami admits, "but I had in mind more of his tendency to take whatever sifts to the bottom. Not that I have anything against catfish or prawn, either."
forceofnature: (Smug)

"Hm. True enough. You really only have to look at his wardrobe to figure that out."

Never has there been a god with a worse sense of fashion.

"What does he think he's doing, anyway? I thought we got rid of him ages ago."
thousand_curses: (dismissive)

[personal profile] thousand_curses 2012-07-04 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I got rid of him, but apparently he set up shop elsewhere," Izanami says, disgustedly.

"Probably Hell, they'll let anyone rule over there."

"Why do we even have a Hell? At this point, it's just an excuse to have a revolving door for our enemies. Let's start sending the damned souls into permanent purgatory."

"And give the Netherworld all the troublemakers? No, let there be a hell. It's the perfect place for people who refuse to be satisfied."

"Nice to see you too, Rosebud. Keeping your little garden all nice and watered, I see."

He disregards Viridi's irritation (or rather, savors it) and continues speaking.

"I was in the neighborhood and I just wanted to thank you for that batch of souls I've just received. They went nicely with the Underworld toast and the supreme subjugation of our remaining dissenters."
forceofnature: (Anger)

"Get your grubby little hands out of the soul stream cycle! Those aren't for you to use; they're there to be punished!"
