YAMATO SECTOR

In an island area of the park is the sometimes staid, sometimes festive Yamato Sector (which seemed strangely familiar to some of the crew, no doubt). Souvenir swords? Okonomiyaki? Sunset beaches filled with the SPRINGTIME OF OUR YOUTH? Medieval warlords drinking wine from human (shaped) skulls? They're all here!

Powered armor suit? What was that all about? Zouichi reached the top of a long, fluorescent walkway and began stalking along it... aha. A perfect window from which to snipe at the players below. He drew a bead on Aya as she ascended up a small hill, and fired.

The points counter on her wrist ticked down a couple of digits. Was she shot? What the hell? She quickly looked around, trying to see whether there was anyone but all the flashes of light made it difficult to tell.

But a powered armor suit? That sounded good. Aya jumped down the hill as discretely as she could to begin her search.

See, Jr. was more interested in those other things. Mainly the stylish victory, which he totally excelled at, as well as finding those turrets to destroy after a little dance with it.

He moved to find those.

Hmm, that machine down there looked like serious trouble. Would he be able to take it down with a laser pistol? Zouichi glanced around him, then up at the ceiling, upon which was mounted a small series of mirrors... He fired into the ceiling at an angle. The beam reflected off the mirrored surface, striking the suit from above.

Its counter decreased slightly. It stopped, looking up at the ceiling.

Then it fired a swarm of lasrockets in his direction -- perfectly safe for living beings, of course, but the ramp on which Zouichi was standing began to crumble away. He leapt, hit a part of the platform that was still steady, and began running. Oops. Looked like it was mad.

She heard the hulking machinery as it approached. And she saw as Zouichi attacked and the machine gave chase. Was this the armoured suit? Oh dear. The machine looked like it could take a large amount of hits before being downed. Aya had shot a few of the other players to gain some more points along the way but nothing totally stylish just yet.

There was a rope hanging above her. Aya had a brainwave. She grabbed it and climbed up one of the ladders that were against the wall. As she continued to shoot at another few hapless players who were staring confusedly at her, she reached the top of the ladder.

With as much power as she could, Aya swung on the rope, holding on with one hand as she used the other to shoot at the machine as she swung across from one side of the room to the next.

Pff, those other guys and their machines. Watching the passerby get hit, Jr. set his eyes on the turret, sizing it up and trying to work out a plan of attack. That never took long for him, though, so after a moment, he made his move.

He leapt out into the open, gun ready as his legs sprinted him across the room. He fired shot after shot after shot up at the turret, keeping his speed and every once in a while, quickly changing his path to mix the aiming system up. He wasn't sure how many points it had, just as he wasn't sure how many he'd have once this was done. But once he got near the other end of the room, he made a jump for it, tucking and rolling behind a platform.

Re: RNG will now determine whether the suit is destroyed by anyone attacking

Taking advantage of the unanticipated cover fire from Aya, Zouichi shot open one of the suspicious-looking barrels on his current platform, revealing a powerup...

...that turned his pistol into a sniper rifle. Well, um. He was kind of hoping for a rocket launcher or something, but it did seem like it would have more firing power. He aimed at the suit and fired from his current location. It took off a chunk of hit points, but did not destroy the machine.

Well, blast.

"Yes!" Jr. jumped up, pumping a quick fist into the air. "That was too easy!" And just as he was ready to badass his way onto the next part of the room--

CRAP.

He literally threw himself out of the room and sight of the turret when it started to fire, some of those points he was just awarded lost. "Ah, damn...!"

She turned her head as she heard Jr. swear. Oh dear. Poor guy was now being cornered by several turrets at once. Because he had gone over to the next room, the turrets were still firing at him though in vain. Excellent. At least they wouldn't turn their attention here for a little while.

Time for more drastic action. She needed more firepower, but from where? She saw that Zouichi now had a different weapon in his hand. If she could get something like that...

But for now she contented herself from repeating the same plan of action as earlier, except she was on the other side of the room. One more round of swinging and shooting and hopefully not so much retaliation from the machine. It did have a reasonable chunk of points taken away from it after all, something must give.

Drat. Zouichi knew that at this distance, he wouldn't be the first to the suit. The best he could hope for was to pick at anyone who ran towards it. Did he have a chance against it if someone picked it up? Maybe he could try forming a temporary alliance with other players to take it down...

For the moment, he dropped under some nearby cover, watching the area.

Once Jr. had collected himself after that most unceremonious dive...

"Okay! Time for round two," he said to himself, getting his lasergun ready.

And then with one, quick glance around the wall, he moved again. Running, jumping, dodging, but most importantly shooting at the new turret.

Okay, time to just... fire like mad at the suit. Aya had jumped from the rope and had simply taken to firing like there was no tomorrow. Until she realised, she was probably better off firing at the glowing thing at the back.

So she repositioned herself and did.

Zouichi shouldered his rifle; either he was in luck, or no one was taking the bait. He made his way quickly but carefully downward toward the deactivated suit, using nearby walls for cover and picking off the occasional player that he could spot flitting between obstacles.

It didn't occur to Aya until a moment later that she should probably get inside the suit. Because climbing into big armoured suits was probably more of a trap than a prize, but what did that announcer voice say? Claim the suit? This was just lasertag, right? It was gonna be okay, nothing was going to kill her. Hopefully.

It was only a moment before she clambered up the robot from the back and ducked into the gap that had opened up.

It sucked that they were all given one initial gun, as Jr. was used to akimbo. But that still didn't deter his skills by much, as he spun around, pulling the trigger as he did so when he spotted one of the two other players inching up on him.

Aww, shoot. Zouichi took a few pot shots at the core on Aya's back, but quickly melted back into the scenery. Best to try and take out some background players before he took on the suit.
