ACDC Investigation

As Broadside stands there, uh.... standing, he suddenly gets a very bad feeling. A thumping can be heard... thump.... thump.... THUMP! The ground rumbles with each thump. Then it stops... A giant Bunny virus the leaps from behind a pile of rubble and stares down at the navi.... wonder what its thinking?

BigBunny: 300

Broadside: 40

Battle 5 Start!
Broadside stared up at the impossibly big virus... "You've gotta be kidding me! That thing is HUGE!" Jared's incredulous shout shocked Broadside into action. There is no possibility of outrunning this creature... I have to act NOW if I am going to have any hope of surviving this encounter... With this thought, Broadside raised his good hand and slapped the Navi Symbol on his chest, causing red text to scroll across Jared's screen: Emergency Override: Engaging Combat Form Protocols[b][/b]

Broadside's form glowed, his features fading away into the general haze of light. The glowing mass then began to grow in size, easily becoming double Broadside's immediately previous height... It resolved into Broadside's original form: That of a large, HEAVY Mecha, covered in thick armor plates, and armed to the teeth.

Back in his 'natural' form, Broadside took a single step backward, moving his left side away from the the BigBunny, and decreasing his target profile. As he did so, he brought his Tower Shield around between him and the colossal rabbit, deploying the extension plates and activating the shield's barrier at maximum power, causing the surface to glow... This accomplished, he spoke to Jared: "Requesting maximum firepower in case it's hostile."

Broadside stood his ground, defensively....

Summary:
1: Switch to Combat Form. (GMO Change)
2-4: Towering Guard: Deploy and Charge +3 (Max)


Shield Status: 3/3 Defense Charges (r0) [3 CD, Delayed]

((Broadside.GMB Active))

((OOC: You know? Taking 3 actions to activate one sig attack is really... beginning to hurt. I better get that fixed...))
Broadside sets up an impressive defense. The Bunny throws a large Zapring at it, but the metalic guard absorbs it.

BigBunny: 300

Broadside: 40 (Defense:2/3)
As the giant ZapRing impacted on the shield's energy defense barrier, Broadside announced the obvious... "Target is hostile." "Sending chip data!" Jared paused to slot in a DBLBeam, 3 Shotguns, a Heatshot, and the Magnum before he continued: "He's huge. You've got my permission to hit him with anything and everything you've got."

Broadside took a moment to activate all 6 of the given chips, allocating them to various weapon systems... The Shotguns manifested themselves in a back-mounted long-barreled cannon... the weapon coming to rest on Broadside's left shoulder with an active laser-sight blinking to life. The Heatshot and Magnum were sent to the Weapon Arm, causing the enormous square-barreled cannon to deploy, but also causing a smaller cannon (one half of the Frag Shot Buster) to extend from the bottom section of the arm through a sliding panel (the other half remaining hidden)... The Hailstorm Gatling was activated as well, causing a 7-barreled gatling gun to appear from a panel in the center torso...

The DBLBeam was sent to one of the H/K Bits docked in the hangar on Broadside's back, causing it to launch for the first time, it's lethal shape immediately taking off for the heavens like a home-sick meteor... It was a remote attack platform designed to fly to a high altitude without any commands from Broadside, and attack whenever it so chose... Except this time, it would wait for the command to fire before attacking, as it was armed with Chip Data, and not it's usual weapons (which aren't currently installed). What it would do once it received that command was completely up to it... Until that time, the squared-off long-bodied chisel-shaped Hunter/Killer would remain where it was, seemingly nothing more than a tiny silver glint in the sky from ground-level.

This process, all enacted simultaineously, took a fraction of a second to accomplish...

"Weapons free. Engaging target!" With this, Broadside commenced his assault... Activating his jets and rollers, he took off, skating along the ground at a speed few immagined a Navi his size was capable of (an awesome sight, given his size)... As he moved, his torso turned to keep his weapons trained on the target, allowing him to unload everything into the target.. He cut loose with a Shotgun blast from the shoulder cannon, sending a spread of sub-munitions at his enormous foe... At the same time, the Hailstorm Gatling spun-up and started spewing 11 shot bursts towards the target with the rip-saw sound uniq to weapons of it's type... The shoulder cannon issued a second blast at the end of the gatling-burst...

It was Rabbit Season in ACDC Net...

Summary:
1: Full-Power Dash (Dodge!)
2: Shotgun @ BigBunny (50 Null + Spread 1)
3: Hailstorm Gatling @ BigBunny (1 Null x 11 Sots)
4: Shotgun @ BigBunny (50 Null + Spread 1)

Shield Status: 2/3 Defense Charges (r0) [3 CD, Delayed]
The Shotgun hits the Bunny, causing it to flinch. It angerily attacks back, but misses the navi as he dashes around. Soon more shots come pouring in before one final blasts strikes it in the face. He jumps forward, kicking the defense Broadside put up. Seems it will hold a bit longer.

BigBunny: 189

Broadside: 40 (Defense:1/3)
As the bunny's kick connects, Broadside commands the H/K Bit to take it's shot... The remote attack unit tilts it's nose downward, kicking the back-side upwards, and selects its target... The front end of the weapon splits into four and begins charging the DBLBeam... It locks its target, tracks its movements, predicts where it will be in 2 seconds time... and fires the beam into the fray...

Meanwhile, a good thousand or more feet below the remote attack unit, Broadside is forced to move backwards by the power of the BigBunny's kick throwing off his aim. He stabilizes himself with his jets and shifts his line of travel radically, moving towards the target instead of away from it, coming in from an angle, then shifting sideways abruptly. Broadside brings his weapons to bear once again as the range closes and fires the shoulder-cannon once again, sending another deadly hail at his enormous foe... A split second later, Broadside's Weapon Arm issued a thunderous crash as he fired the Magnum at the BigBunny at close-range in an outright bid to blast the target into oblivion.

Jared watched the proceedings with intense interest, forgetting that he was supposed to be sending more chip data for a moment...

Summary
1: Hunter/Killer Bit fires DBLBeam (Heal 30 HP to All Allies or Deal 30 Null to All Enemies: Random)
2: Full-Power Dash! (Dodge!)
3: Shotgun @ BigBunny (50 Null + Spread 1)
4: Magnum @ BigBunny (140 Fire)

Shield Status: 1/3 Defense Charges (r0) [3 CD, Delayed]
The Beam causes both parties to heal. The Bunny, feeling better, gains confidence and with a well placed Zapring, brings down Broadside's smaller defense unit. Broadside does not take this loss sitting down, zooming around the field and firing a Shotgun. He then charges up a powerful weapon, unleashes a mighty blast that causes the bunny to stuble backwards.

BigBunny: 39

Broadside: 70
The BigBunny takes hit after hit after hit, and yet stubbornly refuses to go down, prompting Jared to comment on the situation: "What is it going to take to delete this monster? You'd think this Bunny was built like a Dominerd from Netopia!" Broadside didn't reply, as he was completely focused on deleting the target...

Broadside jets around the target while it is distracted, and continues his unrelenting assault on the enormous virus... The Hailstorm Gatling spins up once again and begins to fire consecutive bursts of hyper-velocity rounds at the target. Between gatling bursts, he fires the cannon containing the Heatshot data, sending a high-speed fireball blazing towards the target. He then continues his rain of buster-shots with the Hailstorm Gatling...


Summary:
1: Circle the foe. (Dodge + Tactics)
2: Hailstorm Gatling @ BigBunny (1 Null x 11 Shots)
3: Heatshot @ BigBunny (40 Fire + Spread 1)
4: Hailstorm Gatling @ BigBunny (1 Null x 11 Shots)
The shots ran in on the bunny, until one giant fireball finishes things off.

BigBunny:DELETED!

Broadside: 70

Rewards: Magbolt1
After blasting the BigBunny into dust bunnies, Broadside collected the chip data, and sent it to the PET without bothering to scan it. He activated the Recall function on his H/K Bit Controller, and recovered the remote weapons platform... This accomplished, he took a scan of the area, logged the data, and then spoke to Jared: "Mission accomplished. Requesting EVAC."

At a loss for words, Jared simply jacked Broadside out of the net...

He vanished in the same way he arrived: as a beam of light.
