Yeah. Both Mike and Gabriel completely removed whatever difficulty there could have been in a fight with Silver Hero.
Pretty cute move for Michael, afraid it would be fanservice of the negative kind.
Anyway surprising move by Red Rose, honesty I feel annoy by it.
Come to think of it, what's Red Rose age when the group last operated? She would be the older sister now due to her age.

Indeed.
She's 21 currently, and the fall of the Old Guard seems to have been around the time of the Drives. Whether that was before, during or after I can't tell you, but I'm going to assume 4 years ago, meaning she was 17.

Most Valuable Player.
Red Rose: "He's a mook. No way he could get anything useful from this. Why are you even bothering to drag them along with you? They'll just get killed girly."
Brilliant Key: "Sure! I know very well how even a weak power can grow into something unstoppable given enough time. I don't mind giving your friend a helping hand along his path to greatness."
...I'm picturing Sam, and the other human members of Team GEAR, loading up in so many grenades they look something like this:
...wow. I 100% called that! I didn't even notice it on my first read through!
Red Rose: "Wait! You mean he's not a complete waste of time? What are the odds? Still doesn't make up for the five dead weights though."
Insight: "Oh shit! I looked at him! Crap! Oh... wow. That. That's bullshit!"
Rei: "That sounds familiar. It sounds a lot like Ichi's ability but for spells rather then weapons..."
Brilliant Key: "I'm curious!"
Insight: "Wait! He fought Solid Drive, Maiden of the West, and Sixth Heaven? What The Fuck!"
Brilliant Key.
Oh that's definitely Sega.
Hm. Could be Rei but I'm thinking it's probably Insight.
Of course she is. Makes perfect sense to pass onto every Angel and Magical Girl with an Aura of Effect that when facing resurrected girls, such as Goddess Grey, all they have to do is switch their auras to effecting the Control Seal, and not the girl, and simply, hah, survive long enough for it to wipe out the Control Seal.
Actually doesn't this make War Angels the perfect counter to Goddess Grey? Theoretically just ten War Angels could take out her seal in a single turn. Given just how powerful she is trading ten, or probably even a hundred, War Angels to take her down, especially since odds are she could be recovered and return to the light, is a bargain.
Eh. She can't scratch Nepgear without casting Sudden Death. So while it would certainly discomfort Nepgear this isn't really a bother.
Brilliant Key: "Shit! Shit! Shit! I'm getting out of the way! I didn't live this long by getting between two pissed off Top Ten girls!"
...Oh Insight. Why would you even bother? You should know there is literally nothing you could do to hurt her. Even a headshot wouldn't even scratch Sega.
Sega meanwhile could probably seriously hurt Red Rose since her damage should avoid triggering TSAG.
If Gabriel swung her blade Insight would evaporate regardless of where it hit so aiming for her neck seems like overkill.
Hm. Sadly their Soul Severers are too high damage to actually do anything against Red Rose.
Depending upon the spell this may or may not hurt Red Rose. I don't feel like doing the math for that.
Much like with the humans of Team GEAR her damage falls into the range here it does nothing against Red Rose.
I get that this is personal to Red Rose and what not but this is very redundant and honestly bordering on the edge of crazy. Seriously did she sleep through this scene:
? Because after this her little rant has zero impact.
Honestly all her crazy rant does is make me start wondering if she's going to lose it like White Soul and if we'll have to put her down.
That's not true! Samael and Gabriel could kill them permanently!
Swamped? Team Gear? She clearly hasn't head about what happened in Operation Starborn. Unsurprising given it was only a couple hours ago. Although she probably should have heard about how Nepgear soloed a hoard of zombies in the graveyard mission.
Nepgear: "Oh it really didn't bother me. Turns out I don't need to breathe. Bonus of no longer being human I guess?"
Nepgear: "Luckily for me Sega came back without me having to do anything! Now if only I could convince Ni to resurrect Jessica and Richard, then my life would be great!"
Sega: "What the hell sis? How are you just ignoring that?"
Nepgear: "I told you; I don't need to breathe anymore so it was really just somewhat uncomfortable rather then 'Holyshitiamabouttodie!' like it would be for a normal person."
Don't worry Nepgear! I'm sure the ability to facetank almost anything will come in useful soon!
Nepgear: "I wish I could do that. Then I wouldn't have to worry about splattering someone, like Truth, again or bringing down the building atop us."
...are you high Red Rose? You remember that Nepgear is the person with the highest chance of bringing the place down atop us and you want her to fire into the building? I guess being off her face on Meth or something would explain her crazy explosion earlier.
Ah. I understand. Red Rose is just so damn arrogant she ignores the warnings of Goddess Gold. If it wasn't for Silver Hero's trap we'd have splattered her everywhere with that opening strike. She clearly doesn't understand what the phrase exponential growth means.
See Red Rose? This, this is exponential growth. She might have been the old Number 5 but Nepgear can facetank her without a scratch. Even that massive spell she threw at Michael wouldn't drop Nepgear's Health below her normal Health levels even if she just flat out facetanked it rather then Intercepting. With an Intercept:

Silver Hero: "What was that? She... she ignored my attack!? Is... is she one of the new Top Ten girls? I... I'm going to die, aren't I?"
You are pretty superfluous. James is superhuman, Michael no-sells all magic, Samael is a magical genius, Gabriel is a monster, and Lucky is a walking doom canon. Poor Aquila has literally nothing worthwhile compared to Team Gear.
Huh. It looks like Team GEAR, or at least Michael, has learned from Nepgear's example and is attempting Diplomacy. It worked against Goddess White so it is certainly worth a try.
And what exactly is stopping everyone else from just walking out of range while Nepgear rushes you? Hell I'm honestly not sure you could kill everyone before Nepgear eats you. It took Michael five seconds to sprint down the pathway. Even if he was freaking Usain Bolt that is only 62 meters. Nepgear can cover that distance, with Flight, in 0.73 seconds. So odds are she could impale Silver Hero before Silver Hero could get a single spell off.
Heh. "Resistant"? Is that what they are calling Magic Immunity these days?
...You just know there are going to be rumors about how Michael had sex with Silver Hero now right? Because this is the perfect fodder for such rumors.
Aside from that I actually laughed, much like Team GEAR, at this scene.
Huh. That was actually a surprisingly effective tactic.
See that you crazy bitch? That is the awesome that is Team GEAR. Don't Fuck With Us!
@crystalwatcher - Is there any reason Nepgear can't blow a hole in the canopy, or whatever, above the entrance, fly up (carrying Silver Hero) through it, race her over to the gates, drop her off, and race back?
She can easily cover a kilometer in just eleven seconds.
Red Rose: "I was an arrogant bitch who ignored what everyone was telling me. Now I know you're all a bunch of badasses and I don't want to get separated from you now."
As he should. Michael was MVP right there. Sure Gabriel could have done it but it wouldn't have been as badass. Plus Silver Hero wouldn't have agreed to such terms knowing that Angels are immune to spells.

I don't think Ichi can actually do the copying thing here.
Wanna bet?
Reminder of Quantified Combat.
I haven't done the math, but I'm pretty sure she can still solo the whole team.
And now you're just putting words in people's mouths.

Besides required narrative tension?
The construction and age of the Necropolis makes blowing holes in stuff a risky proposition.
Red Rose kind of underestimated Nepgear's growth and the "courtyard" they were coming up on is pretty big, so normal CD attacks won't cause too much damage to the surroundings when they go off uncontrolled.
I'm basing the Necropolis here off a mix between the one that comes up in Fable 3 (I think it's that one anyway), and another from an old playstation game whos name I can't even remember for the life of me.
Given the way her ability was described I'm fairly sure she can't. But It was the first thing that came to mind and was a somewhat amusing comparison so I threw it in.
Eh. Men Kill Heroes probably boosts Red Rose in some bullshit way. But there isn't any point on commenting on something we have no clue about.
That said I do need to take back my bit about Sudden Death because I forgot that Auto-Kill doesn't work on higher existences so Nepgear's actually safe there.
Huh. I actually checked that but misread it as a "single opponent's action", IE a low level variant of the "X Skill" tree, not "a single opponent's actions"
I do believe I commented on that already at the start of the post. That comment wasn't meant in that context. More a "we're awesome so don't doubt us!" thing.
Eh, it's what it sounds like to me and is amusing enough I don't particularly care to change it.
I thought we already killed that? Don't tell me Goddess Red went and resurrected it!
I don't see anything in the images I get from googling:
that would be a problem for just flying away.
Besides when I said canopy I meant tree canopy since I was going off:
and I don't see how blowing a hole, it doesn't even have to be that big of one, in the tree cover could cause issues.

Been giving it a good shot, unfortunately.
You know thinking about it; Nepgear has the reflexes (thanks to HSC) to keep up with her speed of travel, and she has Boosted Flight so she can instantly accelerate/decelerate. So shouldn't she by able to fly back to the gates through the ruins at top speed? None of the mooks have the HSC needed to track her so she'd appear as a blur that would just dodge around them.
The only question is if Silver Hero, with her tiny Health and complete lack of any kind of defense handle that kind of acceleration.
Oh and before anyone asks that's not a problem with my op and over plan because even at just 1g acceleration, something everyone can take, Nepgear can travel a kilometer in just twenty seconds. Increase that to 3g acceleration, quite sustainable for human beings, and the time drops down to fifteen seconds.
Honestly with Nepgear's max speed 1g acceleration is more then enough since she can get there in just 20 seconds.

Top Speed = 84.9376m/s
Distance = 1,000m
One Gee Acceleration:
84.9376 = 9.81 * t
t = 84.9376/9.81
t = 8.66 seconds
x = 0.5 * 9.81 * 8.66^2
x = 367.7m
Given that the same time and distance are required to decelerate that just leaves working out how far is traveled at maximum speed:
Distance = 1,000 - 2*367.7 = 264.6m
Time = 264.6/84.9376 = 3.12 seconds
Total Time = 8.66 + 3.12 + 8.66 = 20.44
Three Gee Acceleration:
84.9376 = 9.81 * t
t = 84.9376/29.43
t = 2.89 seconds
x = 0.5 * 29.43 * 8.66^2
x = 122.57m
Given that the same time and distance are required to decelerate that just leaves working out how far is traveled at maximum speed:
Distance = 1,000 - 2*122.57 = 754.86m
Time = 754.86/84.9376 = 8.89 seconds
Total Time = 2.89 + 8.89 + 2.89 = 14.67 seconds

She's out 'till further notice.
Most everyone with a command seal doesn't have the willpower to stay conscious when it breaks.
Did Crystal share how her's and Shining's growth affinities work?
I also kind of want Red Rose to come up and thank us for saving her friends, and then Nepgear tells her to fuck off.. politely I mean. But that probably won't happen because Not Human. When that uncanny valley hits you, it hits you. She just gets stabbed through the neck and gives no fucks. I honestly can't tell if that's trauma damage, No Longer Human, or some kind of antipathy aimed at herself.

She didn't. She got picked up by the throat, the only thing that got stabbed was the ground.
I know, the update is amazing! But, er, why no comments on this bit of brokenness? Because that potentially means Multicasting Oblivion Awaits when she works with Rei.

[]What do you do with Silver Hero?
Hmm. We don't want to just leave her because of the spooky skeleton warriors. Hauling her back to the barricade puts the transporting party at risk of getting ambushed or just missing the rest of the action, and the barricade isn't a guaranteed safe zone either. Bringing her along weighs down her minder and exposes Silver Hero to AoE effects.
I think we should have Samael carry her and have the rest of Team GEAR (minus lucky and Gabriel) guard him as he stays back a corner or two. Last time we dragged along a few Magical Girls along it went okay for us. Samael is picked because his spells let him contribute even if his gunblade is strapped to his side.
My first thought was to have Gabriel tuck Silver Hero under an arm and head back, but Gabriel is important to our efforts here. Since Magical Girls have a link to the narrative of reality I assume that we can't have the main group pause to wait for a detached group to return. So sending any of our fliers to try and finish it quickly is a no-go, Nepgear deprives us of a trapfinder, Sega doesn't want to lose track of Nepgear, and Gabriel is the lynch-pin of our seal-breaking plan.
Depending on how successful we are this could end up with most of Team GEAR weighed down with knocked out Magical Girls (must... resist... lewdness). But this keeps them in our sight, and we brought them along to carry our shopping anyways.

Ok...Here's a potential plan.
[X] Plan Triple
-[X]What do you do with Silver Hero?
--[X] Send Lucky, Aquila, and Michael to take Silver back to the barricades. Michael will carry her, while Aquila and Lucky provide back up for him.
This gets our three least useful teammates out if the firing range, while still giving all four of the people involved a good chance of survival.
Next...
[X] Plan Upgrade
-[X] Upgrade INDESTRUCTIBLE CORE to level 20 (700 XP)
-[X] Save the rest of the XP.
This upgrades our health, resilience, and damage we can do with Core Purge.
