Three jaegers stood side by side facing against seven bijus. Nozomi’s a behemoth of sleek red metal with four arms and almost no armor. Made for one thing and one thing alone, Nozomi’s Jaeger could easily leave Tomoka’s and Hinata’s in the dust with its speed. Repursol tech on each of its joints and more made for easy acceleration and deceleration earning it its name crimson riot.
Hinata’s Jaeger stood at the opposite side of the spectrum. Armored up the wazoo it could withstand a nuclear warhead of up to ten kilotons. A massive slab of metal and tech working as its shield held on its left hand while a just as big and heavy sword held on its left. An eighteen inch cannon on its right shoulder worked as its long range option. With its gleaming silver and gold highlights it had its name well earned as the Silver Paladin.
Finally Tomoka’s Manic Havoc went for a completely different yet just as effective approach. Guns, guns, and even more guns. Four inch rotary cannon mounted on its right shoulder, a just as devastating quick launch missile array on its left. Hip mounted railguns as well as a pair of high precision mortars on the back. Finally a pair of supersized mini uzis held in hand capable of delivering two inch ammunition at five hundred rounds per minute.
“Alright girls, let's get going. You know the rules and so do I-” Before Tomoka could finish talking Hinata’s exasperated sigh stopped her.
“Did you just rick roll us?” Nozomi’s incredulous tone made Tomoka bark with laughter as a moment later she began talking again.
“Ma bad, ma bad. Anyway, no need to worry about hurting them. Even if we do manage to kill them, the Gedo statue will just reabsorb them.” As Tomoka Finished speaking the girls focused as all seven bijus roared at the same time.
A moment later the Gobi, Kokuo dashed towards them with the clear intention to ram into one of them. Meanwhile the Ichibi, Shukaku, the Nibi, Matatabi, and the Sanbi, Isobu, preparing bijudamas. The Rokubi, Saiken for his part began shooting large globs of accident towards the girls. Behind Kokuo, the Hachibi, Gyuki, too was dashing their way although at a much slower pace. Finally The Yonbi, Son Goku was moving sideways in what looked like a flanking maneuver.
“Nozomi, intercept Son Goku. Hinata, on Kokuo. I will provide suppressing fire for the rest.” With the plan in place each of them moved. Tomoka opened fire with all her weapons. The rotary cannon instantly swiveled to the side aiming towards Gyuki. The mortars began firing towards the trio in the back with the bijudamas. The rocket launcher began firing intercepting shots towards the flying acid. Finally the pair of supersized Uzis began preparing anyone Tomoka had a line of sight on.
Roars could be heard left right and center as the bijus had to contend with the sheer amount of fire Tomoka was outputting. None of her weapons were strong enough to cause lethal damage, that didn’t mean being constantly bombed and smacked by large chunks of metal at high speeds didn’t hurt.
Hinata for her part began slowly but surely accelerating towards Kokuo in a collision path. A few seconds later Hinata Placed the massive shield in front of her before activating both its energy shielding as well as the ram thrusters on each of its four corners. The result was a devastating shield bash that sent Kokuo crashing heavily to the side.
Nozomi for her part engaged with Son Goku in hand to hand combat. Her extremely fast for its size Jaeger weaving and dodging the bijus barrage of blows looking for an opening. As Son Goku went for a right hook, Nozomi found her opening. Blocking the blow with her upper right arm Nozomi used the lower one to deliver a devastating liver shot. As the Biju got staggered for a moment Nozomi continued with her combo delivering a left hook right to the bijus head with her upper arm while the lower left went for an upper cut a moment after. As son Goku’s head was forced upwards he saw a pair of red metalic arms crashing downwards onto his face. Nozomi had delivered a haymaker with the upper limbs planting Son Goku’s face on the ground.
“Girl’s my weapons are starting to overheat.” Tomoka shouted over the comms. Her rotary cannon was now glowing an angry orange-red as it continued to deliver a hail of metal onto Gyuki who had hunkered down behind his tentacles. The missile launcher was about to run out of missiles meaning it would need a minute or two for the reloading sequence. The morters too were suffering from strain as the ignition chamber for the propellant was softening up from the heat.
Even the pair of supersized Uzis were about to run out of rounds. Thankfully the hip mounted railguns had stayed in standby mode meaning they could come in clutch to provide support while all the other systems were down. Not like that would compare though. The fire rate for the railguns was rather low.
To make matters even worse, the three biju who had stayed back to form bijudamas were now rushing towards Tomoka as Saiken continued to lob acid left right and center. The only thing Keeping Nozomi relatively safe currently was her rather close proximity to the other bijus as Saiken was being careful to prevent any friendly fire.
“Weapons back online! I have requested repairs from veronica!” From who? Nozomi wondered as she had never met this Veronica Tomoka was talking about. Sure, she knew a few people named Veronica but none of them would be able to help much less repair her jaeger in this situation.
It was a few moments later that Nozomi understood who Veronica is or rather what. A weird looking ship thing came from orbit floating a good kilometer up as parts began raining down from it. Said parts were moving towards her and she speculated this would be her repairs. Not wanting her foes to interfere, Nozomi quickly jumped backwards, opening the distance.
It was a moment later that her systems automatically released the damaged segments as the next instant something slammed into the now open socket. Her systems quickly linked up with what she now realized is a new arm as she was once again given the all green.
“Awesome!” Nozomi shouted over the comms as she got back into the thick of it. Unlike the original arm this one had a close impact energy cannon integrated instead of a blade. With this she could in theory keep one of the biju at distance to prevent a repeat of what had just happened. Similarly Hinata too received a care package with a new shield as the damaged armor on her back fell off being replaced with a new segment.
“Let's go for round TWO!” Tomoka’s shout heralded the loud bark of her weapons once again firing towards the bijus in an incessant downpour of lead. This time however she was focusing all of her fire on the three that had been rushing her a moment prior. Not only that but she too began moving in their direction. Afterall, with Veronica deployed she had access to quick weapon swaps.
In another location inside a room filled to the brim with screens nine people watched while eating popcorn and other such snacks.
“Damn, I wish they would let me deploy the G.O.O.S.E so I could go and play too, that looks so fun.” Shaco complained a little as he shoved a handful of popcorn inside his mouth.
“You had your fun in Kumo, let them have theirs” Pride said with an exasperated smile. Shaco had been complaining ever since the fights started. He had wanted to deploy the G.O.O.S.E right away and wreck some havoc on the battlefield.
“Come on Pride, I am not the only one that wants to be there, am I right Wrath?” Said woman couldn’t answer as she wiggled against her restraints. The others had to chain her up both physically as well as digitally to prevent her from getting involved.
“Really shaco, Really? Do you really need to rile her up after she finally calmed down? It took us so much effort to contain her.” Freedom complained before sighing. Sometimes she felt like she was dealing with children... to be fair the kinda were but that is not here nor there.
“Bah, whatever, next time there is a war or some such none of you will be able to stop me from participating.” Shaco complained one last time while shoving more popcorn in his mouth before focusing back again on the screen.
