C) Only one? What the hell is this bull? I throw my damn hammer to try and divert the drilling squid from it's target to the squid holding it (odds of success: one in a million), meanwhile move in to defend the civilian ship with my Chainsaw! Keep the ball of reckless abandon going.
C) Excuse me, but we call them "Fangs" in this day and age, grandpa. Activate them and Trans-AM to achieve super speed and save both ships at once, yo!

Clearly this shows that funnels are superior.)
You throw your hammer at the drill-squid, going through it cleanly, so you can see the entrails and blood leaking. Ugh. However, seeing as you threw it too hard, the other squid is still holding it down.
You know focus on the civilian ship for now. Spotting you, one of the charges at you. You rev up your chainsaw and took care of the alien problem, cutting in half. But clearly it isn't enough, and you cut it more times.
Then the two focus on you. You throw your chainsaw at one, cutting it in half. Then taking out your nail gun, you nail the fuck out of the remaining squid, then kick it with your patented Construction Kick manuever.
You turn your back on the defense ship, and thankfully, it was able to free itself. You turn on communications.
"Alright, get outta here. I'm gonna check for more survivors." Short but precise.
However, before you can take off, you recieved communication from the defense ship.
"No! You should leave too! The colony is about to go nuclear!" A female voice was heard.
What? Godfucking dammit!
"Why? Why the hell!" Was your only words. With no choice, you withdraw, and can only watch as your home is grinded into nuclear dust. At the very least, you were able to sucessfully save lives today.
_______________________________________
You got your ear chewed out for disobeying orders, but it's worth it. Later on, however, the military man congratulates you on saving lives. It really isn't as satisfying, though, as you just watched your home blew the fuck up.
So here you are, outside the commander's room. Now what?

B.) If we're going to be a team, they have to respect you. Seriously? What the hell is their problem, not following you on a clearly suicidal mission with almost zero chance of success? There was no possible way you could fail!

B.) Clearly this group needs some more coordination. I mean, c'mon, you're all supposed to go out into battle in a blaze of cooperative glory! Even if it's comprised of a bwaka, an unsocial twat, and a sociopath with a hidden agenda. Go kick their asses!

What were they thinking! The people needed our help, and they chickened out! How could they? This is bullshit.
You find the team in their spaceplane seats, silent and evading your gaze.
"What the hell is wrong with you people! Those people...they didn't even know what hit them! Why do you all have to be like this?" You blurt out in passionate passion.
Allen is the first to speak. "Sorry, John. But that was just plain reckless. You were just lucky to find an operationable mecha. And besides, wasn't the whole thing suspicious?"
"Suspicious? What do you mean?" Suprisingly, it's Mr. Shades who asks this.
"Look. You were able to get a mech with no problem. You were able to get out of the spaceplane with no problem. Isn't that a bit weird? I mean, afterall, they are military men."
You ponder over this for a second, however, Mr. Shades speaks up.
"That's not a reason to get suspicous, though. The mech was a repair mech, not a combat mech, and possibly was something included in most spaceplanes. And as you explained, you were helped by a mechanic, who possibly had access to controls."
Allen looked at Johnathan weirdly, and got then at me.
"Anyways, I'd advise you to watch your step from now on." Allen warned me.
"Most importantly...how the hell can you already know how to pilot a mech?" Anita, who has been mostly silent during the whole trip, spoke up.
Huh...? How did I, actually? When I rode that mech...it just felt natural. Like the machine was part of my body. I don-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Pain assualted my head. Pain assualted every nerve, every part of my body, as if I'm being torn inside out...a flash of white light...
Suddenly, I was snapped back into reality.
I remember now. My father was a mech engineer much like my grandad, and taught me when I was a kid. And I was that damn good, as I recall.
This I explained to Anita. She looks dissatisfied with the answer, but doesn't question it.
"Anyways," You continue, "We have to act as a team next time. We can't let this happen again."
Your mind questions why they don't show any sort of reaction upon the colony blowing up, but don't ask it, because maybe they are sad about it, and don't want to show it.
"We'll talk about things later, I need to eat..." You leave your teams room.
As you walk down the hallway, you notice a energetic figure running down the hallway. She approaches you, and asks if you're indeed John Johnson.
You confirmed that you are indeed John Johnson, and then she physically assualts you with hugs, all while shouting "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"
You ask her what you did to recieve such a weird form of thanks, and she replies, "I was on that ship you know! And my sister was on that other ship! Thank you for saving us both! I don't know what I would've done without her, so thankyou!"
What a heartwarming scene indeed.
"Oh, I need to check in on my sis! Later, John!" She winks as she runs through the hallway. What kind of security measures does this ship have, anyway?
You ponder your choices.

We should probably go check on that girl... screw it, I just saved hundreds of people, it's food time. They'd better have beer. And cake. A stripper or two wouldn't go amiss. But mostly beer, I need to kill another couple of braincells.

You decide to visit the girls first.
After asking around you learn that they're staying in one of the visiting rooms.
You reached the door, but before you can knock the door opened.
You find yourself face to face with a green haired girl with red eyes, with her shoulder length hair going down to her....err, shoulders. Her face is that of a matured and experienced woman.
"H-Huh?" She blurted out.
"Oh, and sis, we- OH! John!" The younger sister was sitting down, but stood up upon seeing you.
"Wait, you're John Johnson? It's a pleasure to meet our savior." The older girl shook your hand.
You explain that you're here to visit the survivors, and to see if they're alright.
"Well, thank you for that! You sure saved us backed then, Mr. John." Confidence booster!
"Oh! I forgot my manners. This is Cecil," Pointing to the younger girl, "and I'm Maria."
You took note of this.
"Oooh! Did you see when you threw that chainsaw! It cut that squid in half! Then pow! You nailed the other one!" Cecil seems to be one with high reserves of energy.
You talked with them for a while, and you discovered that Cecil is a energetic, tomboyish girl, and Maria gives the impression of a matured woman who people look up to.
After a while, you hear a voice.
"John Johnson, you are needed in the commanders room."
You excuse yourself, and go to the commanders room, but before you go, Maria stops you.
"Oh! Before you go, I need to tell you that we've volunteered work in this ship from now on." Then looking down at the floor, "That's because we got nowhere left..."
After a word of assurance, you leave for the commander's room.
The commander was reading a map with the redhead girl and some unimportant shmucks.
"Johnson, we'll arrive on earth in a few minutes. While we wait, I want you to brief you on the situation.
Nine hours ago, we've received reports of an attack in Pluto. Then, three hours later, we lost all communications in Neptune and Saturn. Another three hours and Jupiter. Now, Mars, the location of your colony. At this rate we'll lose Earth in 3. Now, most of the army is concentrated on the Moon, so the major battle will be there.
As for your role, YOU will be the secret weapon, the last ditch soldier. You will pilot your grandfathers masterpiece that even we don't know existed."
You nod at this long explanation. What kind of robot did your Grandpa build?
_____________________________
An hour later, you arrive on Earth, and your father's hometown. You've never been on Earth yourself, so this is a rather exciting trip. But disappointingly, there's nothing different aside from the fact that space isn't visible when you look at the sky. Only blue stuff.
We (We meaning our volunteer team and the commander, Redhead, and a few soldiers) reached our Grandpa's old laboratory, a huge building in a middle of a forest. The commander typed in the password and the door opened, and in my disappointment it was an old mess with cobwebs everywhere.
The inside was a whole lot bigger, owing to the fact that it extended underground. The commander guided us we traversed the labyrinth.
"Excuse me for not introducing myself. I should have, owing to the fact that we'll be working with each other. My name is Captain Jinrai Hayato. And the girl is Lt. Keiri Minamikaze. And here we are."
A huge metal door stands before us. Captain Jinrai stopped, tapped my shoulders, and pointed to a weird scanning contraption.
"Put your hands over there."
With little choice but to obey I put my hands over the weird scanning contraption.
The building shook and rumbled as the gargantuan door opened, revealing a hanger full of advanced mechs of different size and shapes...
AND THEN.
YOU SAW IT! THE HANDS!
THE IRON CHEST!
THE WINGS!
YES! THIS IS YOUR GRANDFATHERS GREATEST INVENTION! BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?
[] A black, indestructible iron castle! The moment you sit on the cockpit, your fate has been decided! You will be the one that will surpass both devil and god!
[]A invincible crimson devil! The speed and destructive capability of the machine is unmatched! Yet, it's power is from a mysterious, possibly sentient, source!
[]A white, sleek machine of war! It's adaptability is best, and it can use a variety of weapons, and has great maneuverability! However! It emits particles that disables all radio communication!

It goes three times faster! Perhaps its speed is fueled by the WAAAAAAAAAAGH! followed by all Orks? Oh come on, time to 'Get her' and show those guys who's boss. Warboss.

B) Will help limit the effect of bloodstains on our precious mecha being red... Unless the aliens don't bleed red. Hmm... Oh well, let us tear the enemies apart piece by piece! Speed and Power is what we need!
Post by Crowe Burst on Sept 14, 2012 12:03:59 GMT -5
THAT'S RIGHT!
THE ULTIMATE SUPER-ROBOT!
Your eyes lock on the crimson mech. Truly, this a masterpiece!
Quickly, you run towards it.
"This is it!" You shout "I'm sure of it! This is my grandfather's greatest creation!"
You see a piece of paper on a table near the mech. You examine it...
"Yes!" You shout. "This is indeed it! THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON!"
"SHIIIIIN GETTTAAA ONE!"
As you say those words, as if on cue, the hangar like structure lights itself up!
You climb up the scaffolding and enter the head part of the mech, and you touch the green glass.
It opened, revealing the cockpit, and you place yourself handily inside it. Yes...you could feel it! The power of the Getter!
"John, come down. I want you to see something." The captain's voice reaches your ears, and you snap out of it.
Going down, you see that the Captain has been reading the documents.
"Thing's piloted by three people." He points to the machine. "If you wanna use that, you need to more guys. The thing right now is on 'One mode', a form suitable for aerial combat and maneuverability. "
"There are two other forms," He continued to explain, "One for speed, and the other for Aquatic combat and Defense. Like I said, you need three pilots. As this is your Grandfather's mech, we will allow you to choose one, but as a precaution, I will put one of our men in."
You think for a while....
Who will go with you? Choose one from the volunteer team.
Post by William de Torquemada on Sept 14, 2012 17:40:28 GMT -5
I'm probably (definitely) going to regret this decision, but strong personality traits are important in a mecha pilot. The things you believe in, the things you fight for, they empower you. Having three people lets us expand our knowledge base, right? Having two normal people and a psycho bipolar girl gives us four sets of beliefs we can abuse to get bonus power.
I say we take Anita.

Anita would be the sane choice.
"The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do; and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot. " - Twain
Post by Crowe Burst on Sept 15, 2012 1:40:13 GMT -5
(let's play: spot the retcon)
After thinking about it for a while, you decide that Anita is the best choice.
"Anita, you do it." You say.
"W-Wha? Me?" Surprised, Anita
"Yeah! You! Come on, let's sortie!" You excitedly say.
Allen looks at you with a questioning look, but does not say a word. Jonathan meanwhile has one of his eyebrows raised.
A ringtone fills the air. Captain Hayato answers his phone, and after a while, hangs up.
"Alright, sortie, and meet us up on the moon. We've had contact."
"F-Fine! I'm gonna do this!" Fired up, she takes the third seat.
"Minamikaze, pilot the second seat." Hayato ordered.
"Right." Emotionless, she takes the second cockpit.
"Right! Now it's my turn!" You say. You jump on the cockpit, the easily identifiable controls.
The captain, satisfied, spoke "Alright, we'll meet you there. Come on you two," turning two Jonathan and Allen "We'll supply you with your own mechs." Then they walked out.
You opened up communications.
"Alright! Kieri, Anita! If we're gonna work together, let's dispense the formalities! Now, are you ready guys!?"
"Yes." A silent answer from the redhead.
"Y-YES!" Was Anita's answer.
"Let's get this on! Roooock!"
"GEEEETAAAAAA WIIIING!" You scream, and two large bat wings appear on your back, instantly destroying the scaffolding that was around the mech.
"Shin Getta! Sortie!"
You bust through the roof, easily destroying thick steel, concrete, and swimming up the earth like it was nothing. Many feet later you find yourself topside.
"Crap! T-This speed! This thing is a monster!" Anita found herself saying.
Silence on Getter-2's end.
"Heh, did you see that? This is gonna be great!" You're as giddy as a schoolgirl. "Anita! Kieri! Can you keep up!"
"Of course." Never showing any emotion in her voice.
"W-What do think, idiot! I can keep up! Who do you think I am!? AAAAAAAAAGH!"
"Right. We need to get on the moon, fast. Let's switch to Getter-2. Open Get!" You scream, and the computer recognizing the voice command and the Shin decombines into three planes, the Eagle (piloted by you) the Bear (Anita) and the Jaguar (Keiri).
"Understood. Switching to Getter-2."
"R-Right! Getter-2 it is! The Jaguar-Bear-Eagle, r-right?"
"Yeah it is! Ready when you guys are!"
The planes go into position, and you do the combining sequence, and fortunately, your first combination was a success!
"Right! Next stop, the moon!"
______________________________________________
The Army was already fighting against the aliens when you've reached the moon, and they're doing badly.
"Right, now, change back to Getter-one!" You command your teammates.
"Right!" The two answered.
You successfully changed, and fly off towards the battle. You go in front of the human army, who is confused by your appearance.
"You alien bastards, eat this beam! GETTTTEEEEER BEAMMM!" A pink (manly) beam shoots out from your mech's stomach.
The beam quickly obliterates a good chunk of the alien army.
"That's just the beginning, you alien bastards! The real fight starts here!"
You dive towards the squid army, quickly and easily taking care of any resistance there.
"Alright, your turn, Keiri! Change to Getter-2! Open Get!"
"...Understood. Eliminating all opposition."
"R-Right, Getter-2 again!"
You change to Shin Getter-2, and drill your way towards the center of the squid horde.
You briefly look back and see the army fighting even more fiercely, morale restored thanks to your actions.
"What is it, Keiri?" Then, you turned your gaze at the direction she's pointing at.
A huge spherical mass of...something you can't possibly describe. A tentacle, mushy, meat world? A spherical biomass thing? And you see that squids are coming out of it! No, more like they're being formed like putty. And the putty is this weird biomass thing!
"We have to destroy that thing!" You shout. "Getta BEAM!"
A green laser from the mech's forehead shoots out. However, it merely scratched the Moon-sized sphere.
In Getter-two's cockpit, Keiri was still studying the weird computing devices and various scanners that Prof. Johnson installed in the Shin Getter. One caught her attention....
"If a weak beam doesn't work, use a bigger one! GEEETA-"
"Wait. There's a better way to do this. According to this scanner, that thing has a heart inside of it. We could just destroy the heart, and the sphere's function will cease. We can then use the remains for study and to better understand what we're up against."
You ponder over this for a second.
[]FUCK THAT NOISE, GETTER BEAM! []Follow her advice.

I'm sorry, what was that? "Let's not use our mech's full power to shoot giant fucking lasers and blow shit up"? Hahahahaha no. THIS IS WHAT WE WERE BORN TO DO! FIRE MAIN CANNON! FIRE THE OTHER CANNONS! DESTROY EVERYTHING!
Post by Crowe Burst on Sept 20, 2012 22:40:14 GMT -5
"No you don't!" You scream, charging like a madman to the fleeing horde. You destroy, kill and maim, fighting against everything.
"John! I can't take this speed...!" Anita, gripping at the controls, and obviously in trouble.
"Dammit John! Retreat, Retre-Aaah!"
A squid has slammed your side, you react by tearing it into pieces!
"John! Change into Getter-2! Dammit!" Keiri's screen was flashing, which you promptly ignore.
Slash, beam, destroy, destroy, destroy! This is the only way to fight! To destroy the destroyer, to show no mercy to those who show no mercy!
However, though, the squids, once out of the Army's killing range, refocused on you. Powerful you may be, you haven't mastered the Getter yet, and soon, no matter how much you kill, you were covered by aliens.
"J-John! What do we do! J-John!"
"Johnson...Dammit, I can't die here!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Suddenly, bright white light.
Suddenly, your mecha didn't exist.
Suddenly, your clothes didn't exist.
Suddenly, everything else didn't exist.
Only you, the stars, and the void that is space.
You look around. Nothing. Just the void that is space. You can see a few planets, but you obviously can't move freely in space.
You float there for a while, then...
"Human..." A mysterious voice called out. "So it is you, this time, who pilots the Getter."
"Who the hell are you?" You ask.
"Who, what, or how I am is unimportant right now. Those questions are for the future, the future that you and I will shape."
"What?"
"Do not weep for those who you will lose, instead, rejoice! For she has found the Getter, she returns to her origin."
...
"The will of evolution, the end of the road for man, can you see it? Gone, gone, one, one, the Getter is one of many, many of one."
You woke up with a start.
You look around. You see that you are inside some sort of hospital.
"You're awake, Johnson." Captain Jinrai was standing on the door. He dismissed the subordinate that was in front of him and closed the door. "Good."
You sit down, remove all these medical shit, and ask where the hell are you.
"You shouldn't remove those." Captain was holding pieces of paper, and was reading while talking. "You're on Earth. More specifically, [insert location here]."
You ask where the Getter is, and what the hell happened to me.
"Shin Getter is safe. As for what happened to you, I was hoping you'd tell me. I already debriefed Keiri, I was hoping you'll shed more light on the subject."
However, before you can decide on what you'll say, the door flew open, and Keiri, unemotionally, walked in front of you....
*KA-SLAP!*
"What the hell?" You shout.
"That was for Anita." She unemotionally said, without emotion, unemotionally.
"Anita? What's wrong with her?" You asked.
...
Silence.
...
"ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!"
"The girl...is in bad shape. She has high fever, and was having convulsions and hallucinations. She was babbling about the Getter. I was hoping you'd know what happen."
"I don't! Where the hell is she!"
Keiri silently gives you her room number. You dash out of the room, and run towards Anita's room.
You open the door. Anita's sleeping peacefully, however, you see that she's restrained on the bed.
But once you go near, her eyes flows open and looked at you.
Post by William de Torquemada on Sept 20, 2012 23:06:52 GMT -5
Hmm. I was the first to say we should take Anita with us to pilot the Getter. Unfortunately, she's also stupid and didn't use either of her personalities to full effect. So I think that however much this may have been my fault can also be blamed on her for not turning into a rage demon or something. Rage demons would have killed all the squids without whining about it.
What? I didn't answer the question? Oh. Well telling the truth is for suckers and good guys. And you know which of those gets the babes?
That was rhetorical. Neither of those guys gets babes. Lie!

I mean, we are already developing psychosis, so adding schizophrenia and hallucinations isn't that hard, no? I'll become the first mecha pilot to have the entire DSM woo woo woo!
