Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

I got a new color for my Word of God statements. Bask in it.

The thing that Lost is laughing about is the nature of Core Purge and the Purifier Beam in relation to Nepgear's nature as Solid Core. I don't want to say too much on it, but Core Purge is a lot more than just a sacrifice health, do damage, ability. While it's active, it's easier to describe it as a change in Nepgear's combat style.

That change though is up to you guys to figure out through trial and error.


I was thinking about our future confrontation with White Soul and I had an interesting thought.

The interaction between Indestructible Core and The 'Kind' Monster. ICORE lets Nepgear survive being killed once per turn with her hp being dropped to 1. The 'Kind' Monster means Nepgear can't be killed until she hits -8,400hp. So what happens when Nepgear is killed while The 'Kind' Monster is in effect? Does her hp increase to 1hp, effectively healing her for 8,401hp, or does it just creep back up to -8,399hp?
I've actually answered this before the hiatus. You'd need to look it up first, but otherwise it's out there.

Have a vote tally.

Vote Tally : Original - Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest! | Page 623 | Sufficient Velocity
##### NetTally 1.8.3

[x] Plan Just Do It (but make sure you have a backup plan, too)
-[x] Core Purge immediately (target Seals, do not target Grey Champion or any other MGs). Begin flying to activate Supremacy Zone, and adjust position to keep Grey Champion in range if necessary.
-[x] If she thinks it will work, Insight stuns Grey Champion.
-[x] Solid Drive goes up and separates from the group a little, to prevent being caught by unexpected AoE, and casts Shield Charge on Grey Champion.
-[x] Everyone but Solid Core stays ready to intervene in case of surprises, or get to cover if Grey Champion lasts more than two seconds.
-[x] If Sega successfully healed Grey Champion and Core Purge was ineffective against her, shoot her with the Purifier Beam. Aim to minimize the effect of the blast on the walls while still hitting Grey (i.e. near the center of the room and downward) (also, do our best to minimize collateral damage, even if that isn't much). Anybody who can't weather the blast and shrapnel should be in cover.
-[x] Nepgear flies around quickly to make sure that any remaining enemies are caught by Core Purge. Others continue to be on watch for any problems and act according to their judgement. If Grey is somehow still conscious, they can fire on her; she now has way more HP than the Control Seal.

[X]Plan let it rain
-[X]Solid Core aims a Starshine to take out the mooks. And approach to core purge as soon. As it won't get her swatted
-[X] Aquila, and James will also focus on getting rid of the mooks while not being killed. Try to take up positions where they can duck behind cover quickly.
-[X]Solid drive is on over watch for healing and surprise murder.
-[X]Insight and red should hold back for surprises.
No. of Votes: 7

[X] Plan Fangirl Agenda
-[X]Before the fighting starts, call out to Grey Champion; ask if you can have her autograph once the battle is over
-[X] Use Celestial Severance in a wide arc against anything on ground-level in the courtyard; if Grey's pedestal is in range, cut this up as well to force her to the ground
-[X]Take to the air and charge right at her; activate Core Purge as you move (Do not designate Grey Champion as a target, only her Seal; the same goes for any other Magical Girl that might be around)
-[X] If enemy mooks are not in range of Core Purge, have Red Rose take point behind you to keep them from everyone else
-[X] Aquila, James and Insight stay back and in cover, the former two focussing fire on the mooks; if Insight is capable of doing it, she stuns Grey Champion
-[X] Solid Drive is on overwatch for healing and surprise murder.
-[X] In case there are surviving mooks AND Grey Champion lasts more than two seconds or dodges the Core Purge somehow, everyone but Red Rose and Solid Core takes cover
--[X] Have Solid Drive boost Grey Champion's Health, then let Red Rose take care of her
--[X] Meanwhile, Solid Core circles through the courtyard to make sure any nasty surprise gets a full dose of divine pink light; do not use any spells or other attacks while Core Purge is active
-[X] If Core Purge ends before the fight is over and Grey Champion's Health was boosted by Solid Drive, use Starshine against Grey Champion's Seal and all surviving mooks. Make sure to aim most of it into the air to limit collateral damage.
No. of Votes: 6

[X] Plan a Tank By Any Other Name
-[X] Red Rose takes the lead and tries to draw everyone's attention. Once Red gives the signal everyone else leaps into action.
--[X] Red Rose muderizes stuff that gets close to her.
--[X] James and Aquila find cover and take shots at the undead.
--[X] Insight does Insight things.
--[X] Solid Drive focuses on keeping Red Rose healed with Shield Charge while getting as little attention as possible.
--[X] Solid Core ducks out of sight while trying to look vulnerable.
-[X] Once the mob has been dispersed Insight should use her spell as Solid Core rushs out and try to headbutt/grapple Grey Champion. Ask Insight for the best method to deal with the seal.

[X]Save it~

[X] Plan Thriller Night
-[X] Aquila, Sega, and James will focus on getting rid of the mooks while not being killed. Try to take up positions where they can duck behind cover quickly.
-[X] Red Rose and Insight can handle themselves, just try not to die.
-[X] You will activate Core Purge the second Grey Champion is within its range, aiming to destroy her Seal and not kill her. Be wary in case the purge doesn't work, like with the Radiances. Try to put yourself between Grey and any potential targets
-[X] If Core Purge doesn't get rid of the seal, try to figure out what's protecting it, and if possible, get rid of the protection and then the seal ASAP.

Roughly half of this quest can be considered Fridge Horror now that I think of it.
It seems you need reminding how this adventure all started:
Resembling liquid flesh, the giant plows through stone and mortar like it was made from toothpicks and sheet paper. Screams filter through the air as you watch the beast suddenly inhale what looked to be the entire student body. Blood fountains from the gaping maw as your survival instincts finally stop gibbering in terror and you scramble to your feet and sprint for your life. You ignore the gore raining down around you, instead focusing solely on the little voice in your head screaming at you to get the fuck out of dodge!
"AaaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHH-" *CRUNCH*

Blood spatters you, and you flinch. The kid is driven into the ground inches from you. The concrete of the sidewalk cracks under the blow. Your surprise and hope breaks into mute horror at the same time her face meats the pavement.

Her hand twitches. She's still alive.

Pure reflex begins to move you to try and free her from the tendril still wrapped around her leg, but it's too late.

More ripples travel down the length of the tendril, snapping the girl violently into the air before immediately slamming her into the ground again...

Then again...

And again...

And again...

Four times the monster slams the child into the ground. Blood covers you, and you taste some of the liquid that splashed into your mouth. Viscera and pieces of bone are mixed in with the mess. Your hand hangs limply in the air as the tendril lifts her one last time. A squelching sound, as fragments of what's left of the road are torn from where they impaled her. She rotates slightly in the air, giving you full view of her brutalized body.

A tear streams from her remaining eye. You gasp, and the beast reacts: a maw opens up, and a final tendril lashes out, to wrap around the girl's neck. You can see saw-like teeth lining it's gullet.

"Run..." The girl's last plea is barely a whisper, before the tendril retracts as suddenly as it had appeared...

And drags her head-first down the thing's throat. She has no more blood left to spill as she's torn apart on the way down to it's stomach.
This story started out as a brutal horror piece and the only thing that has changed since was Nepgear growing hard enough to survive.

Edit: Seriously if this was an anime it would have an MA or R rating for the masses of gore. Remember even Muv Luv doesn't show people being eaten alive that often.
