Turn Fourteen:
Things were getting clear. The user-mods were not a thing to be trifled with. Goggles stood up from his position and raised his hand. Something ominous appeared from it. An orb.
-Goggles weapon charge at 4/10!-
-Goggles weapon charge at 5/10!-
Swirls of dark energy whip around his person and bright green surges of electrical energy zapped from it. The huge pillar behind began to move as the metal casing creaked.
Logs into FTP using the password he acquired.
"So let's play your game then. "
Hacks into server, building a gigantic physical robot AI out of scripts. Scripts robot.
[Charge: 25%]
Logic, with the tools he had gotten, began to work. Two screens appeared beside his laptop's and he dipped both his hands into them. The virtual screens wrapped around his fingertips and worked their way into form fitting gloves. The result was a real virtual glove
[OOC: Self contradiction.]. With it, Logic stood up and opened his palms forward. Glowing lines of code and script escape the gloves as he vocally enters the codes and scripts required.
The feet of the robot were slowly coming into reality.
Aquila heaved and flipped the body off him. He got up with a huff and got ready to grab the plasma blade inserted into the thing's face. "Sir be aware," Sigma warned, "The Hyabusa armor is still functional, it is simply disorientated by the surge of energy. When the blade is removed, I expect it to reboot quickly."
Getting the message he kept the blade inserted and backed off to grab the gravity hammer. "What's its shield levels at Gamma?"
"Shields are at zero sir, it can no longer use its kinetic powers."
"Meanwhile your shields are at 100% that was an impressive spin sir." Theta announced, his voice was much younger sounding than the others.
"Thank you Theta, I'm sure you would've protected against me against those plasma bursts right?" He hefted the hammer and marched over towards the Spartan, the hammer slung over his shoulder.
"Yes sir! Of course I would've." Aquila smiled and grabbed the hammer with two hands, swinging back like he was getting ready to cut some fire wood.
Then he nailed the sword in the handle, driving it in like nail, deeper into the Spartan's head. He pulled back and smashed down again, once again on the head. Winding back, he wacked the Spartan's arms, legs, and torso over and over again like it was a wack-a-mole platform.
Aquila with every ounce of strength began to smash the Spartan to pieces. Soon enough, the deed was done and Aquila was free from his enemy.
"AI, identify." Her rough speech rose in the air, a lethal crackling filling the air, electric tendrils flicking about her now-exposed arms. Blue eyes flicked across the battlefield, then they closed as she put sloppy brown hair up in a ponytail. Whatever AI on her side was there, it'd more than likely hear her voice. Of course, that wasn't anything major - but the way the command was given, it put it rather likely that she sounded very Commander-Palmer-Ish.
It took a moment, then there was a crackling in her ear and a voice began to speak. "Iona, Spartan Team Black's AI."
[Elemental Surge - 5/5]
[UNSC Infinity Inbound - 15%]
-Caelo's Elemental Surge complete!-
"Spotter, I am detecting a powerful energy signatures from the pillar and from below the Vagrant AI, Goggles." Iona reported. "Courses of actions that I suggest would be the destruction of either."
Caelo nodded. But which one?
sadko straps the moltensteel dragon with explosives, and like a cowboy rides it on towards goggles as a show of courageous kamikaze skills
AIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sadko crouches down then leaps up high into the sky. Once his butt felt the heat of the dragon's scales, hundreds of explosives wrapped themselves around the dragon: dynamite, grenades, missiles and warheads. The Father of the Unorthodox whips his hand in the air and screams his battlecry.
"What the f-..?" The dragon leaps off the Carriers shield and causes it to lurch upward as the sudden weight was lifted. "Re-route power back to full shields, Halt main engines!" The ship slowed to a hover and Gaaading stared in sheer disbelief at the sight he just witnessed. "You crazy bastard..." He muttered under his breath. The crew cheered at the monitors while a sigh of relief escaped him. "Alright! We caught a breath of air, but we are not out of the woods yet." He turned to his command console "Attention all pilots! Lay down some cover fire for our man Sadko! Focus fire on Goggle's eyes!"
The carrier's crew cheers him on but Gaaading set them straight. They weren't safe yet, not until the GodBot rests in pieces. The Interceptors fly by their once enemy, the moltensteel monster and barrage Goggles with photon blasts.
The GodBot simply stares at the flyers. Slightly irritated that Sadko had claimed his pet. "Perish"
Massive sunken colonies emerge from the soil, their tongue like appendages burst from a skin like shell and pierce the ground. The ground explodes as spikes shoot up from the ground. The shields of the interceptors hold out but some take direct hits from the zerg base defense.
But the spikes were simply torn down as Sadko's mad charge busted through each and every one of them. The dragon and himself watched as Goggles came closer to their vision and once adequately close enough, Sadko brought out the detonator and laughed.
The air went quiet for a moment before the blast. A huge white light centered on the blast point expanded. Soon enough another shockwave blasted across the General Section.
-Sadko perishes in the explosion. He later respawns-
Gaaading watches as his ally kamikazes down to Goggles. With one solemn salute, he greets Sadko's sacrifice: "En Taro Tassadar, Sadko."
The crew cheers on.
The Azure Knight focuses all his efforts into completing the charge!
[Azure Knight Summoning Charge: 12/12]
The flames burst up in an inferno, focused on the two circles! When the flames die down, two new beings can be seen: one, a large, imposing man covered in green and black skin, a massive sword in his hand as he slowly lets out a growl; the other, a slender and demented looking angelic being, with a thin saber, full armor, and a similar growl arising from him. They take position beside Kite, and use his power to erect azure firewalls around themselves (FUCKING PUNS, BITCHES).
[Azure Balmung and Azure Orca have entered the battle!]
The Knight of the Azure Oceans and Knight of the Azure Skies race towards Shadow-Skeith, Azure Balmung unleashing a flurry with his saber whilst Azure Orca lets loose powerful blows with his massive broadsword!
The Terror of Death's eyes glowed, recognizing the greater threat. Shadow-Skeith moved back as Azure Sky came forward with a flurry of attacks. The Terror of Death spun his scythe, the sound of steel on steel filled the air as none of Balmung's attack came through. The Azure Sea came from the side, the massive broadsword swung upwards in an attempt to bring the Shadow of Skeith off balance. Skeith simply locked blades with Orca's broadsword and faced the Data Drain at Balmung.
-Skeith's Data Drain at 4/5!-
The Azure Sky grimaced at the threat while the Azure Sea pushed harder against the Skeith's scythe.
"So the Knights are here." The Shadow-Skeith muttered. The shockwave from Sadko's explosion did little to break the lock between the three summons. They were mountains against the wind, never to bow. Not even to each other.
Skeith fired the Data Drain prematurely at Orca and with his hand free, the shadow quickly gripped his scythe and overpowered Balmung with a surprise burst of force. Balmung was sent back only to see Skeith right on top of him.
"Death awaits those against Goggles." The scythe falls to Balmung. The Azure sea quickly blocks but the scythe nicks his head. Blood oozes down his crown.
Meanwhile the data drain struck Orca, causing him to fall to knees. The charge was incomplete, saving him from utter destruction but he felt weak.
The sentries do their work as Skeith was kept busy. The mortars connect and blast the Terror of Death backwards!
Far away, the Space Marines were awaiting further orders.
After painstakingly retelling the same detailed memory thrice, GuardianTempest pauses knowing that he finally has some leeway. The commissar on the still has his brow raised, wanting more convincing.
"Think about it, you're helping a chapter of the Astartes and you'll be personally credited for your endeavors."
GuardianTempest tries his best Ruby Rose impression, "If not for the Astartes then at least for me, please...as a friend."
...
"Very well then, but first off I must consult the tech-priests in the repair bay." The commissar leaves while GuardianTempest sighs in relief. Then he realizes something...Repair Bay? This WILL take some time.
[Baneblade 3/10]
-GuardianTempest's BaneBlade deployment process in 3/10!-
Act III: Show Off
Aquila felt the shockwave, surprised that another had occured. His HUD quickly zoomed towards the metal pillar, now coiling further into the sky.
"Cortana. What do you..?"
Suddenly every user received a PM. The window appeared in front of Aquila. The message was from stone and his face drained of color.
It read:

We're trying our best. You know us as your admins that we try our best to bring you best stay here in StickPage.
The situation has been dire. Despite our best efforts, Goggles has been advancing three steps ahead. I will say it to you clear right now:
Goggles has breached the thread's barrier. It isn't that big yet but the pillar is ripping it wider. We do not know how long we can keep the code together nor has Jeff replied to us regarding the situation back in FA.
We hope you keep fighting to keep Goggles out of the internet as we have.

As if on cue, a sound akin to thousands of nails scratching a blackboard echoed throughout the forum. The pillar was boring through the sky. Goggles had been trying to escape the entire time. The entire sky turned a blood red and the ground shook as the crimson lightning began to wantonly strike the ground. The pillar began to spin, slowly at first before finally speeding up into what a drill should have been doing.
Goggles then laughed. It was a laughter that woke children from their sleeps. And created nightmares for those just about to. It felt as if the shadow of Goggles was growing too large for them to handle. All this time, this wasn't the real battle.
Goggles has been fighting the walls and not them.

Caelo, far from the battle, view the entire thing through her scope. Just above. She witnesses something. Something was pouring out from the rip in the thread.
