Super Robot Wars SV: An End to Eternity

Reader mode
Something in the vein of "I have no who I am, or what the fuck I'm doing." would be somewhat accurate. Of course,it neatly sidesteps that we know exactly who they all are, have a rough idea of their various problems and know what will come in future.
 
'I do not remembet who am I, but helping you to save the world feels like the right thing to do.'

Or something like that.

"I'm a timelooping super-magician with a ridiculous Super-Robot who came here along with her foxgirl partner to help save the world. Playing bowling with Mechabeasts was just a very welcome bonus.

By the way, where's the nearest restaurant? I haven't had a decent meal since I came back from the future and woke up in the present."

Well, said fox is Kuudere, who is dere-dere to Minase. I can totally see them cuddling together in the bed (in the least sexual way).

By the description, that the QM gave, Minsae is some kind of mother figure to Tamamo.
 
I prefer "The mech, the fox, and I are all magic bitches. I ain't gotta explain shit."

Maybe "I come in peace?" Or is that too obvious?

How about "Do you seriously think I would trust a man named Dr. Hell? Of course I'm not going to side with a man who's that blatantly evil."
 
I think the general consensus seems to be irreverent.

Also, curious about our skill at piloting, I crunched some numbers. I totaled up the stats of all other pilots we have access to and compared.

Kouji - 24
Sayaka - 18
Boss - 10/5 (Wasn't sure if the negative skill should be counted or not)
Tetsuya - 14
Fujimura - 23
Walken - 27
Kiriyama - 24
Thesleff - 18
Yajima - 20
Moritsugu - 27
Yamashita - 18
Kizaki - 20
Endou - 18
Sugiwara - 21
Smith - 21
Faithful - 24
Nakajima - 21
Kujou - 22

Yoshikage w/o Tam: 15 total stat points
Standard, Yoshikage w/ Tam 21 total.

I assume that 2 in a stat is about average, so our hypothetical average pilot would have a total of 12 points overall. 6 is the highest, but also seems to be highly unusual (witness the fact that over a spread of 19 pilots, we have one stat at 6, Kouji's Defence), so 5 is the best an 'average' human can hope for. Going by this metric, Yoshikage unaided is a slightly above-average pilot even with Memory Error affecting our stats and skills. With Tamamo , we become a quite talented pilot at 21 total points.

With Tamamo we are one of the best at Defence, tied with Sugiwara, beaten only by Kouji, an outlier at 6. Even without Tam, we are still skilled at Defence at 4, making it our highest stat. We are also fairly accurate (4 with Tam) and skilled with ranged weapons (also 4 with Tam).

Combine this with our mech, which has high energy, and can regenerate, we're an excellent roadblock and attrition combatant.

    • [x] If it thinks you're helpless with a temporarily disabled arm, its got another thing coming. Hold your sword with your tails and use your superior reach to your advantage.
    Your right arm is completely fried, and you don't think you're good enough to fight this thing one-handed...so you'll take a third option, then.

    You hunch over, one hand stretched out to the ground ahead of you, as behind you your tails wind around each other to form a single, thick cable. The large tail-arm snakes around to your side, where the Moonlight Sword lies embedded into the road. The tips of your nine tails reach out and coil around the weapon's handle, then with a single tug its pulled free, held above your head like a scorpion's stinger.

    The fingers of your left hand dig into asphalt as it pulls you forward at the same time your legs kick off the ground, sending you hurtling towards the Mechabeast at an impressive speed. Your tails sweep the Moonlight Sword around in a very wide arc, its supernatural edge cutting through abandoned buildings like butter as it swings towards its target.

    You grin as it seems like Chigul will get bisected in a single move...but then it suddenly moves back.

    You're not quite sure how it did it, but somehow it managed to shuffle backwards with out lifting its foot while swinging both sickle arms. You're barely able to move your tails out of the way of its first slash, resulting in only four tails in the bundle being severed rather than all of them, and you get your feet back under you just in time to block its second strike with your deadened arm. The sickle cuts all the way through the armor and internal frame, but its stopped when it hits the core of the arm.

    A torrent of sparks fly out of the wound as Pantheon literally bleeds lightning, but you ignore it as you twist the arm, trapping the blade within, and use the leverage to pull Chigul off-balance. The tottering Chigul is left open to a slug to the face from your right arm, backed by your momentum. The impact caves half its skull in and sends it flying back, the sheer force of the blow ripping its sickle from your arm, which erupts into a torrent of crackling light as the wound is opened further. Heedless of your injury and eager to finish the kill you rush after it, pulling your arm and sword back for a finishing strike.

    But before you can end the fight, Chigul surprises you once more as it twists its body around mid-fall...and remains half-upright rather than landing prone, keeping itself propped up on the ruined stump of its other leg. You barely have time to register this happening before it leaps back at you with as much force as it can muster. You're caught off-guard, and can't bring your arm or tail forward in time to block the incoming strike. Chigul's arm sickle slams home into your side, carving through the outer armor to firmly embed itself in your torso, with a flash of light that quickly fades.

    Then the rest of Chigul runs into you, and its your turn to be knocked off balance as you topple over backwards. You make a desperate flail at the Mechabeast with your sword, but it's knocked out of your grip with a sharp slap from Chigul's free 'hand', which is then driven into your other flank. You land heavily on your back, and Chigul pins you to itself. The drills on its chest begin spinning rapidly, and with a scream of metal they start to extend into Pantheon's chest while the Mechabeasts tight grip, surprisingly strong for such slender arms, ensures that you cannot escape.

    If it was anyone else, this would sure look like a pretty bad situation. Through the sensory link you have with Pantheon, you can feel its pain as your own - not hot and burning like the real thing, but cold and numb, as if filtered through the haze of an anaesthetic. Those sickle-arms are keeping you pinned tightly to the Mechabeast and those nipple-drills (it suddenly strikes you how uncomfortable you are with this situation) are about to go through where your cockpit should be.

    Yeah, it looks pretty bad but, really...



    You grip the side of Chigul's dented head with your left hand, hard enough to leave imprints. You drive your knee into its crotch, impaling it with the blade mounted there. The spikes on the end of your five intact tails are thrust through the Mechabeast's spine, as the remaining four lash you and it together. Instinctively you also lunge your head forward, going for Chigul's throat, but all you accomplish is an awkward headbutt.

    ...this was the worst possible move the Mechabeast could have made. Its almost the most boring way to end the fight, honestly.

    Suppressing the magitech D-Soil nanomachines that course through Pantheon's body like blood was a little bit like holding your breath. It rapidly became quite uncomfortable, and if you'd kept it up any longer Pantheon's functionality might have become impaired. You breathe out, and the nanomachines begin to course through Pantheon once more. And as they were programmed to do, when they come into contact with foreign matter, whether its air or the Alloy X used in Mechabeasts, they 'ignite', sterilizing the area and completely frying any lesser materials that happen to have entered the wound, breaking it down and recycling it to form new nanomachines. The end result is that Pantheon appears to literally bleed lightning, and it functions as quite an effective defence to boot.

    Of course, for something like Doctor Hell's Alloy X, this is nothing...but then you breathe in with all the force you can muster, sending Pantheon's twinned energy reactors into overdrive. An immense amount of energy courses through your artificial veins, causing a reaction millions of times greater than that of your nanomachines alone. Your open wounds shine with power, and Pantheon roars alongside you. The sickles embedded in your sides, the drills in your chest, your hand gripping its face, the blade going through its lower torso, the jury-rigged Nerve Cracks embedded in its spine - the power that surges through the entirety of Pantheon's body passes through every single one of these things, and straight into Chigul.

    Both of you light up like a second sun. You can almost hear the Mechabeast screaming in agony as its right eye bursts from the sheer amount of electricity flowing through its entire body. Though thinking about it, that might just be the sound of its frame warping. As you continue to fry it inside and out, you can feel your hand squeezing through its melting skull...

    ...and then, with a sharp tug, you rip the melted mess off what used to be a neck.

    You push the melted carcass off you, and pull the smoking remains of its arms out of your body and throw them to the floor. While in life they were attached quite tightly, in death Chigul's slagged joints were incapable of any resistance. You reach out and pluck the Moonlight Sword out from the building it embedded itself into, and return it to its sheath. As you do so, the sparks that leap out from Pantheon's many wounds fade away as they rapidly close up, and the ends of your damaged tails have already started to regrow. It only takes a few more seconds for the bits of drill that remained in your chest to be pushed out, clattering to the road below.

    In the end, the only lasting injury you received was to your right arm, where the internal structure was cut quite badly, but that should be fixed when you next call upon Pantheon's might. Your power reserves are relatively low, as well, but you doubt you'll be doing any more fighting today.

    What greets your eyes when you look up makes that almost a certainty.

    Standing elegantly before you is the Vardant, shield-wings spread wide and two swords in each hand. Behind it you can see the bulky yellow form of the Hind-Tank, the slender Kagutsuchi, and the barrel-like Decieve. Looking further behind them, Mazinger Z and Boss Borot are standing amongst the wreckage of the two last Mechabeasts, with the massive metal ball that is the Machina Glen-Neidr floating nearby. You wouldn't be surprised if Apparition's gigantic sniper rifle was trained on you, too.

    Suddenly an image of a very good looking man with glasses springs into your mind as Vardant opens a communication channel with you. You're pretty sure you're not transmitting an image back. "That was an...interesting method of fighting," Reiji starts. You suppose you should be flattered that he's commenting on that rather than getting straight to business. "My name is Reiji Moritsugu. Who are you, and what are your intentions? Why were you with Doctor Hell's forces?"

    How do you respond?

    Also, how much info do you want to give out about yourself?
    [] Tell them everything. You know the future and you're here to save them all.
    [] Tell them only what's happened since you woke up. You still don't know if you can trust your 'memories,' and something tells you that you should keep your knowledge of the future close to your chest.
    [] Tell them nothing. Try to be mysterious.

    Sorry this took so long.

    • Not sure on the first one, should definitely tell him something along the lines of that we were trying to infiltrate Doctor Hell's forces, and deal with at least a few of them covertly.

    [X] Tell them only what's happened since you woke up. You still don't know if you can trust your 'memories,' and something tells you that you should keep your knowledge of the future close to your chest.
