Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

Reader mode
So I was looking at the Shop and noticed Segarite core and thought of an amusing scenario that could arise once we have it:

Mazalker, Lord of a tiny piece of hell, had been having a good day up until he met that fucking girl. It had been an easy assignment, too. Conquer some little Angelic backwater, kill everyone on it, open a path straight to the heart of False Heaven. Piece of cake. Then he had the misfortune of being near one of the humans' so called "Magical Girls." They were a pain in the ass, sure, but he'd tussled with some before and they only caused slightly more annoyance than those normal humans. But this one was different, apparently.

It had come after him specifically, which was unusual. Generally if they were being deployed this far from home they were smart enough to know not to fuck with Demon Lords, as even lesser ones like him could fuck up their fancy tanks and planes and shit. The only ones who would were the most powerful, and this little fairy looking girl hadn't been on any of the lectures he had attended over "Names and Faces of Magical Girls that Running Away From with all Haste is a Good Choice for Survival." So he assumed she was stupid.

Then when fighting her, not a damn thing he did left a scratch, while she tore up his armor and skin like a pack of hellhounds. So he'd gotten angry. And made his big mistake. He used his Corrupt Beam, which he had, in fact, seen cut through a mountain. And then the little bitch EXPLODED. It looked and felt like one of those nuke things the humans had. The blast left him as charred and smoking fifty feet from where he had started. As the smoke cleared, he looked over and saw the girl looked like hell. He was happy that if he was going to be crippled for until he could be healed, that at least she would be dead. And then the unthinkable happened. She started healing. In a few seconds, she was capable of standing without swaying. In another few, she was fine. She turned towards him, and looked pretty pissed about it. So, with his last remaining strength, he got to his feet, and swung at her with all his might. It barely cut her skin.

As she kicked him off of her, he had enough remaining life to ask a question.

"Why...Why won't you die?"

He remembered her reply for his remaining four seconds of life. She was smirking as she said it.

"Indestructible Core, son."

And then he was disintegrated.
 
Meanwhile.

Quick, someone! State Magical Girl Happy Fun Ball! (Accept no substitutes!)

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Edit: On second Thought, our little Nep going Happy Fun Ball territory already.

Pretty much yeah. Most of our focus should be on Celestial Severance, The Purifier Beam, and our Flight Speed. Get Flight and CS to level Ten, Purifier Beam to Fifteen, and maybe purchase Anti Air Beam. We've been lucky in that we have only really fought land locked enemies so far. If we had to fight a aerial enemy we wouldn't do nearly as well.
 
Hypothetical: Say during a combat situation, Solid Core can only use her Purifier Beam weapon and she has to hold back from using her full power per swing. First off, is she capable of even pulling that off? If yes, then would she require additional training to pull it off?

Actually, the most amazing thing about Segarite Core is that it lets us exceed our max health.

If she were to somehow get it right this second, Solid Core would be getting 1,500 Health Every Turn.

Consider as well that Core Purge reduces our Health by 5% and then multiplies the loss by 75 to calculate it's damage, and that Segarite Core doesn't stop just because we're Purging"

What this means is that Solid Core's ultimate state is to be an invincible tank who buffs everyone around her into invulnerability, and then Goes Nuclear and sweeps the field in divine radiation that surgically targets only those she considers enemies.

We're not a blaster, that's just us getting proficient at firing the exhaust from the Core Reactor. Our true form is being a BOMB. And every combat round we don't push the detonation switch, increases the force of the inevitable explosion. Our team and all the buffs to them? They're the delivery system.

We are literally Magical Girl Tsar Bomba. Gaia getting fed up with assholes and weaponizing one of the greatest feats of destructive power and then giving it a perpetual mana reactor to fuel the reaction.

Makes me wonder what weapon of mass destruction Judgement Core is mantling then. Juggernaut Core is also unaccounted for I think (Probably going to turn up as UD though, because that's just how these things work)

We've seen Anti-Ability, it's part of what makes Goddess Gold so scary.

It also has no power over us because we have metaphysical primacy over her due to being Divinity-vs-Epic.

"Weak yet Quick" attacks is also relative, because there's basically no circumstance that doesn't either get eaten by our Resilience or ablated down to damn near nothing by INVULNERABLE CORE.

"Anti Magic" is also not a no-limits thing. Because to anti-magic would require you to have primacy for one thing--by quite a bit even, given how using magic to counter magic tends to be inefficient.

"Surprise Attacks" are also meaningless because INVULNERABLE CORE doesn't require us to be aware of the attack.

Anti-Armor Could be a threat... Except that the bulk of our defense is based off of a Trait and not our own core resilence.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Juggernaut Core (When she shows up) has a way of nullifying Armored Core somehow.

INDESTRUCTABLE CORE
Level 1
-The ultimate CORE frame. Once per turn if Nepgear would be killed, instead reduce her Health to 1. Nepgear is also immune to damage over time effects, as well as any form of mental pollution or mind control. In order for Nepgear to receive damage, the damage must exceed 99% of her total health. If this threshold is surpassed, reduce the incoming damage by 99%. Frame is capable of surviving CORE BREACH.

Health and Resilience are recalculated:

Health: 1,000
Base Resilience: 100

Armored Core Experience has been transferred.

Core Level 5
Health: 1,000 -----> 1,200 -----> 1,400 -----> 1,600 -----> 1,800 -----> 2,000
Base Resilience: 100 -----> 200 -----> 300 -----> 400 -----> 500 -----> 600

Nepgear is Hardcore now.
Also, I suspect surviving Core Breach relates to No Longer Human. She'd probably lose her body and just leave a glowing core to regenerate from.

*Flashbacks to Disgaea 4* Yes. So much Yes.

And now I'm imagining Progenitor Frame is an ability where Nepgear becomes a giant mech for James to pilot. Meanwhile the Golems are slightly smaller mechs for everyone else.

It's Progenitor Frame.

She's going to become Sega's equipment.

This is true.

Still, even if we're not in the Top Ten at this point, I don't see us as being far behind them. And this'll change real fast as our offense gets better.

(Hilariously enough though, Red Rose will actually get harder as our offense gets better. We're just in a sweet spot now where we can hurt her without tripping her hyper-armor trait)

I'm hardly thinking we've won, but we've sure as hell left the Magikarp Stage and evolved to a babby Gyrados.

Naw, she's gone from Larvitar to Pupitar.
Extremely hard, but not yet killy.

Next priority, personally, is to work on the Flight, Covering Fire and Synchronize. We have Core Purge for damage, for now, but if a fight is happening outside our reaction rate, we can't do anything about it, and our allies have some SERIOUS spells now that Synchronize would boost enormously(of course, we'd probably want Covering Fire before Synchronize since people would know to target our allies since Nepgear is too hardcore to damage).

After that would be Purifier beam rather than Celestial Severance, BECAUSE, due to Intercept, all attacks which are Intercepted and which our damage overflows, allows us to damage enemies in a counterattack.

So, consider just...running Covering Fire + Level 20 Purifier Beam. Battlefield dominance. I personally like Synchronize more, but efficiency wise, this adds both defense and offense.

I like to imagine that in a year, Nepgear's going to be assaulting heavily fortified planets by just being dropped off there, and flying around while sniping everything that isn't instantly evaporating to core purge, and shrugging off planet busters. All while extending both middle fingers to the sides.
 
So yeah.

If we consider the possibility that the Drives represented forms of "Conventional Warfare", and the Cores represent "Next Generation Warfare".

Solid Core is essentially a Bomb. Well protected, heavily guarded, and absolutely devastating when released.
Judgement Core based on a review of her statblock would be an interception system, or some kind of super artillery.
Juggernaut Drive then then would likely represent an MBT. Fast, murderous offensive power, and gives no fucks until it finishes the mission.

It makes sense if Sega is "The Air Force" ("The Navy", "The Army"), because her flight speed is ridiculous and planes dropped the first atomic bomb.

Wow... Nepgear is getting ridiculously hardcore now. Perfect, given that she is literally Magical Girl Hardcore. I love it!

Next up for upgrading: Flight and damage, with a possible side of ally buffing.

This means we can put out 56.25 times our base health in damage each turn, infinitely, once we get up to speed. Currently, that's over 100,000 damage a turn. Granted it'll take a while to get our health up high enough to do that, but then we'd be able to kill anything without a damage reduction ability.

your thing is borked. don't center the slide tags, it fucks shit up.
 
"Get great character idea"
"Start thinking up a ton of shit"
"Realize that the character falls in the area between Divine MG and Divine Beings after getting halfway through it.
"No template."

Fuck.

Edit: Wait I just thought of a horrifying way to turn it into a Divine Being.

You know something? I actually started this cascade of Magical Girl Expies because I posted some angel pics since I was bored. Then everyone else posted pics. Then Decium posted his Magical Girl Frayed Thread character sheet and it took off from there. Looking back at the last 30 pages I can only say.......I REGRET NOTHING!
 
Inspiration struck after I saw that prediction of how Nepgear's rematch with Judgement Core will go and I wrote this thing. Enjoy! Or not. I'll admit the writing is kinda horrible and I can't into battle banter.

-=--O--=-​
"So! You finally decided to show up for our rematch!" Shouted Magical Girl Judgement Core from where she stood on the other side of the training ground. "Here I thought you got cold feet now that you can't hit me with a cheap shot!"

You are Nep- I mean Anastasia Boheart, Magical Girl Solid Core, and it totally wasn't your fault you were late. It was just the day after you got back from your holiday at the beach with your team and everyone else from the beach, so you were still tired from the trip and all the... shenanigans that happened there. Then Rei atomized the alarm clock before it could wake either of you up, so you had to rush to get ready for this battle.

"Kick her ass, Nep!"

"Make your sisters proud, Nepgear!"

Speaking of Rei, she was currently cheering you on from the edge of the training field, her arms locked with Sega and both of them holding a paper megaphone. After a few mishaps during your trip they seemed to reach a mutual understanding and became fast friends. You were honestly really happy about that, but you did wish said understanding wasn't apparently based entirely on them working together to embarrass you at every opportunity.

Meanwhile, Team Gear had unfolded a huge banner inscribed with your name and a picture of a chibified you in a victorious pose and one foot atop a downed Judgement Core, and roped San into holding one of its ends while the rest of the team cheered you on. She gave you a small smile and you replied in kind. Your fellow little sister must be as embarrassed as you are with their shenanigans.

You look away from them and back to your opponent and oh dear that's a rather large cannon she's holding, isn't it?

"I'll teach you to pay attention to me, idiot!" She snarls, and fires the cannon. you barely have time to raise your blade before the beam hits you and the worlds turns white.

...It doesn't hurt much. Really, despite the size and brightness of the beam It feels like a bee stinging you, at worst. It soon dissipates, leaving you inside the trench it created when it disintegrated the ground in its way to you. You kinda just stand there awkwardly, blade still in place and smoking a little bit, waiting to see if Judgement Core does anything else.

"Well?! How does it feel to get hit by a surprise attack, huh?!" She screams. Wow, this girl can really hold a grudge, can't she?

You slowly move your blade to the side to get a better look at her. She's still looking at you from the sights of her huge cannon.

"Um... Are you done yet?" You ask and suddenly your team bursts into cheers.

"You tell her Nepgear!" You're pretty sure it was Sam who screamed that. "C'mon, show that overcompensating weirdo who's the boss!" And that was Michael. "Don't go too hard on her, Nepgear! We don't want to hurt her too bad!" And now Gabriel too?!

Their 'encouraging' words certainly seemed to work, just not on you. The barrel of Judgement Core's Cannon starts to glow even brighter than before, but at least you can block it properly this time. You swing your Panzer Blade down vertically just as the beam hits, your own attack unable to block the beam, but together with your Indestructible Core's defenses it managed to divert most of it to the sides and nullify the rest.

To those looking from the sides, it probably looked like you tried to cut the beam in half and succeeded, the destabilized streams of Magical Bullshit arcing to the sides and above you, hitting the ground behind you. You held your position for several seconds and kept your blade up when the beam dissipated, leaving behind several new craters on the training grounds.

"All right." You said, and you could see the blood draining from Judgement Core's face when she noticed you were completely unharmed. "I think it's my turn now."

You tilted the Panzer Blade down and fired a Purifier Beam aimed straight at her head before Team Gear and your sisters could start embarrassing you again. The girl barely had time to move before your own beam hit her and knocked her back several feet. She hit the ground and skidded for a bit, but you just raised your blade in preparation for whatever trick she had up her metaphorical sleeves.

After half a minute of silent anticipation where Judgement Core just kind of laid on the ground where she landed, you decided it should be safe enough to approach. You walked towards the downed Magical Girl slowly, with your guard still up and when she still didn't get up you deemed it safe enough to give her a gentle poke with your Panzer Blade. She only whimpered a bit.

"Um..." Oh Shit. "I think I hit her too hard! Can someone please call a medic?!"

As if in response to your panicked request, Judgement Core let out a groan and brought a hand to massage the spot where your attack hit. You kneel to get a closer look at her and she opens her eyes, looking directly into your own. You spend a moment looking at each other like that until she finally speaks.

"Are you a goddess?" She asks and, confused as you are, you mind goes straight to an old movie you watched with Sega and immediately blurt out the answer she drilled into your mind should anyone ask you that question.

"...Yes?" You say, and Judgement Core nods in response.

"Makes sense." She mumbles. "You're pretty like one." And a second later what she just said registers on your mind. On both of your minds, actually, because she blushes almost as hard as you must be blushing right now.

"I-I mean, I didn't- Do-don't misunderstand-" And whatever Judgement Core was going to say is lost on you as her sister shoves you away and starts fussing over her to check if she is alright.

And thus you're left awkwardly sitting on the ground of the ruined floor of the Training Area, victorious and utterly confused, The audience still speechless save for your sister who is laughing like a madman and saying something along the lines of 'Of course she takes after her sister in that as well' in between her guffaws.
-=--O--=-​

The ending was partially inspired by a certain Polandball comic involving Japanball and Americaball that I remembered as I was halfway through writing that part, while the "Blocking a laser with a sword" bit was inspired by a certain scene from the SRW OG anime.
