Weeds, weed-whackers, and forest fires, oh my.

Magmire pops up and declares intros be posted and whatnot.

[lordnidhogg]

Erika was seeing through Biollante's eyes. She was calmer now, away from the crowded, noisy cities that her form had been near before. She felt at ease among the plants and water.

She was a living mountain of organic matter. Over a kilometer tall and weighing nearly 50,000,000 metric tons. And she was growing, ever growing, ever mutating. It was her way.

Her roots betrayed the other kaiju's prescence; she felt him long before she saw him. She wasn't looking for a fight-but if it was, she'd give it one.

[Inferno Rodan]

The Berserk Fuhrer hovers toward the towering foliar monstrosity, having been sent there to destroy it. He cuts his boosters and skids to a halt 200 meters in front of the target. He looks up, meeting the creature's gaze with his own. Its head alone is twice as tall as his own. But the machine would not be intimidated. His Buster Claws extend and point forward, opening slightly before starting to spin. As the Claws rev up to full speed, he roars and begins walking forward.

[Omegarex24]

Monsters.....

FIGHT!

[lordnidhogg]

(I hop it's ok if I control BF just a tiny bit to slash down some vines...I figure it would add a touch of 'realism' to the fight)

Biollante stared at the thing before it. It had blades, that much was certain, but what did that matter when she could generate a near infinite amount of vines? No matter. Biollante stared for a moment into the cold eyes of the machine before she roared, her many heads giving the unearthly sound deafening volume.

The ground shook slightly and half a dozen vines rose into the air. They were a few hundred meters long and skinny, and each ended in a toothy pod. They were frail looking, especially compared to those whirling blades. But they weren't meant to be a serious threat, just a test.

Biollante sent them forward towards her apparent foe, squealing in their strangely melodic call. They were ended quickly. Though they swerved and weaved with a logic-defying motion, the Berserk Fuhrer swung its spinning blades and butchered them. Bleeding, sappy chunks were flung all over the battlefield, the acid residue causing small pillars of chemical smoke. One of the pods had managed a solid bite on the Berserk Fuhrer before getting shredded-the teeth sunk into the armor, but it was too thick to pierce. At least with the small thorns the pod had for teeth.

For a moment after her vines were destroyed, Biollante was still. She watched the Berserk Fuhrer carefully, looking for something-a telltale sign. After a moment, she saw-a thin wisp of chemical smoke coming off of on of the buster claws. The acid was slowly, ever so slowly eating through the incredibly thick and durable armor. It may not turn the metal monstrosity into a puddle right before her eyes, but it was effective.

Then the ground began to shake violently, to the point that some portions of the surrounding area shifted in elevation. As the shaking continued, dozens and dozens of vines rose from the ground. Some ended with the toothy pods, others with thick, tight clumps of thorns that formed clubs, and still others with blade extensions. The berserk Fuhrer looked around, completely surrounded by vines and tendrils. For a second the only sounds were the spinning of his blades and settling of the broken earth. Then the attack commenced. The first vines to reach the machine were quickly cut down, and the next few didn't fare much better. But the third consecutive wave reached him. Not even his impossibly sharp blades could cut through that much matter instantly, and his blades were slowly dulling and weaking from the acid.

One toothy pod bit the machine on its right thigh, and threw its attack rhythm off by dragging it back just a few meters. Using this opportunity one of the mace-like vines smashed into the base of the tail, on its back. The machine buckled from the force of the blow, and the plate of armor that was hit was smashed out of shape and partially shredded. The off balance machine was almost instantly wrapped around its middle near the base of its claws by a vine with no special end. Biollante used this vine to fling the mechanized kaiju away, just before the blade swung down and severed the tendril. Bothe the severed tendril and the Beserk Fuhrer were sent flying, and it landed nearly 150 meters away. As the Beserk Fuhrer stood up, chemical smoke poured off of many of its components where the acid sap that was the life blood of the creature had splashed during the blitz-like assault.

The ground shook again as more vines rose to replace those lost. One carried with it a huge boulder, which it heaved at the Beserk Fuhrer.

[Inferno Rodan]

But the Berserk Fuhrer is an agile machine. His boosters kick to life, launching him sideways out of the boulder's path before redirecting him toward his foe. His Buster Claws rev up to full speed once again as he deftly weaves through the virtual forest of vines. Not interested in cutting down comparatively insignificant appendages, he heads for the main body. The spinning blades plunge into into the massive plant-beast's relatively soft "hide" with ease, sinking nearly their entire length in and causing the creature to release and unearthly wail. Chunks of "flesh" and globs of "blood" are sent flying in all directions as the Claws rip and grind away at the creature's body.

It isn't long, though, before BF's sensors alert him that something is wrong. He quickly recoils and examines his blades, which are steaming. Acidic body fluids. The relatively small amounts he'd gotten on him before didn't have enough effect to trigger a response. As if that's not enough, the wounds he inflicted moments earlier are already starting to heal.

Very well then. He is more than equipped to deal with such nuisances. His Buster Claws begin to glow with a faint purplish energy, immediately evaporating the acid coating them. Again he lunges forward, stabbing his Claws back into the two holes, which are noticeably smaller by this point. The arrays begin spinning once again, with similar results as before. However, instead of chunks of gore, blackened chunks of flesh and smoke spew from the wounds.

Knowing remaining so close to such a huge opponent, especially one with so many appendages, for too long is unwise, BF again disengages and withdraws, this time leaving a pair of burnt, smoking holes in the creature's torso.

Once he gets a couple hundred meters of distance between himself and his foe, BF again points his Buster Claws at it. This time, however, they glow white before firing off their LPCs. The compressed streams of charged particles cut through any vines in their path before lancing into the behemoth's body, piercing deep into it and burning away its flesh. He moves his Claws out to the sides, raking the beams across Biollante's body, leaving deep, burnt gouges in their wake.

With a roar, he swings the beams inward again for a repeat performance.

[lordnidhogg]

(If I'm overstepping any bounds with the Berserk Fuhrer, let me know, I'm really not trying to break any rules or anything. I just want a more dynamic fight)

In doing so he set himself up for a serious sucker punch. One of Biollante's mace-club vines burst throught the ground directly below the Berserk Fuhrer's head. The hit sent the machine sailing upwards and backwards in what was basically a glorified uppercut, and the force of the blow actually deformed part of the Berserk Fuhrer's jaw, giving a slightly lopsided bite. The buster claws blew huge gouges in the ground as their aim was disrupted and the machine hit the ground. As the Fuhrer was recovering, Biollante regenerated. The gouges and parts lost to the beams were more than half healed by the time the Berserk Fuhrer stood up. Even the burnt wounds were incapable of stopping her regeneration, thought they did slow it down. But blood oozed from the burnt flesh as it cracked and sloughed off as healthy matter literally burst out to replace it. It was taking several minutes, but she was still healing rapidly.

Once the Berserk Fuhrer recovered, it began to charge its buster claws once more. But this time, Biollante would have none of it. Her four pyramid cones fired huge pods, that upon reaching the Berserk Fuhrer opened into hideous, toothy, mutated flowers. The first hit the right leg, grasping the knee and lower thigh, which it began to gnaw on and shove its thorns into. The second hit on the left side of the base of the neck, forcing the head into an awkward position as it chewed at and clasped the plating in that area.

But it was the second set that hit the mark. One hit the right cannon right at the base of its jointed arm. It forced the buster claw into a bad position, and began to gnaw away at the relatively thin arm and joints that comprised the buster claw arm. The second hit the open left claw almost dead center, where the surging energies exploded it in only a couple seconds. The acid splash caused minor continuous damage to most of the area around where the pod hit, including the buster claw's arm and along the blades. But the real damage was done by the significant, if small, amount of acid that made it down the barrel of the actual cannon. Though the Berserk Fuhrer's circuits were heavily shielded, the acid ate through most of the protection fairly quickly, and it began to eat away at the circuits and cables themselves. The acid's conductive properites made the spewing, misdirected energies of the damaged circuits cause havoc on the inner workings of the gun, and the remaining active acid was still damaging the mechanical components.

Outside, smoke and chemical steam, along with sparks and small unctrolled energy surges were erupting from the damaged gun. Before the Beserk Fuhrer could come up with a counter, or even do anything about the toothy pods gnawing at its armor, a huge sword-tipped vine ripped from the ground to its right. The fine stabbed into the armor on the Fuhrer's torso, between its arm and leg, and sank in a couple of meters. The vine kept with the momentum of the blow, smashing the Berserk Fuhrer to the ground on its side and pushing it along the ground for over a hundred meters, and staying embedded in its side the whole time, trying to push deeper. By now, Biollante was almost completely healed, with only the deepest parts of her most severe wounds remaining-they would be gone in minutes, if that.

Once the machine came to a stop, the ground rumbled underneath it as eight vine shot out of the ground above its back, then "dived" back into the ground below the Berserk Fuhrer's underbelly, crossing over its body. Two vines on the neck, two on the tail, and four along the torso, with specil care to put extra pressure on the buster claw arm(s). Then, Biollante pulled down with her vines, aiming to crush the machine against the very earth.

[Inferno Rodan]

Okay, yeah, I don't care how uber your regen is, you don't just go and completely heal that amount of damage in a single bloody turn, especially when it's been cauterized like that. That's god-modding.

[lordnidhogg]

Umm...>.> It wasn't that much damage, dude...

You carved a couple of gouges and poked a couple of holes. Big deal. Biollante has beyond insane regen, and doesn't suffer terribly from heat. Your beams are the "light" versions, too, and they were being swept across at a faily swift pace. The damage wouldn't have been too severe, given her size. The holes punched in her would have been worse, but they would have healed closed extremely quickly because they were being healed from all directions.

However, for the simple fact that I don't care to get into an argument with you, I'll change it. Just note that that level of damage ain't much to Biollante. She's too big with too much regen.

Edit: Ok, I added some more specific descriptors of Biollante's regen time. I hope you find them appropriate.

First of all, those "couple holes" are each nearly as big around as BF's torso at their openings, and close to 100 meters deep. Secondly, just because they're "Light" Particle Cannons doesn't mean they're the least bit weak. Keep in mind what they're "Light" compared to. Third, again, I don't care how ridiculously uber your regen is. As much as you don't like it, that WAS some heavy damage dealt to you in my previous turn, and almost completely healing it in a single post is god-modding.

Anyway...

----------

But simply trying to subdue the Buster Claw arms is hardly enough to hinder the deadly blades. They glow with energy, rotate outwards, and flip around, severing the vines in one swift motion.

With that dealt with, BF launches himself at Biollante again. Still glowing with energy, the Buster Claw arrays again begin spinning at high speeds.

Knowing what is coming, Biollante attempts to stop the attack. Half a dozen vines erupt from the ground just in front of the machine, ready to entangle it. But BF was expecting this. The head-on charge was a ruse. He deftly boosts sideways, holding a Buster Claw out to the side and severing the vines in passing.

He continues past Biollante, dragging his extended Buster Claw across her side, ripping out a 40 meter-deep gouge all along her body. Once reaching the end of her body, he stops spinning the blades momentarily and thrusts them in deeper, causing them to catch and act as an anchor to swing his body around onto her back. Using the tremendous momentum, he plunges the other Buster Claw into her back. Again he drills a pair of masive holes in her body with his energized Buster Claws.

As he leaps off her back, he fires off his LPS at her.

[lordnidhogg]

The beams tear at her, ripping huge chunks of her mass away. But she has mass to spare, and even as the damage is being done her never-ending growth and regeneration are beginning to heal the damage. One thing is for certain though: playtime is over.

The ground shakes like never before, and as the Berserk Fuhrer nears the ground, he's hit. A tremendous vine, nearly as thick as the Berserk Fuhrer is tall, and with a mouth to match, explodes from the ground, hitting the machine with earth-shattering force. The buckles whole machine about the point of the hit; the major damage was done to the right buster arm and to the spine/rigid torso. The torso was bent slightly, hindering future movement. The buster arm was bent upwards towards the middle of the back, and the joint was slightly deformed.

But that was only the first hit. The blow launched the Berserk Fuhrer nearly eight hundred meters away from Biollante's main mega-body. It hit the ground hard, then bounced once and hit the ground again, a damaged plate of armor being ripped off this time. Before it could recover, before it could even skid more than a dozen meters, a second massive vine ripped through the ground and grasped the Berserk Fuhrer in its jaws and lifted it into the air, only to start rushing towards the main body again.

As the massive, thorny teeth ripped into the armor hide of the saurian-shaped machine, it tried to activate it's boosters to escape. This drove the vine off course, which Biollante changed to its advantage by slamming the side of the vine into the ground, and driving it-and the Berserk Fuhrer's head and one claw-along the ground for hundreds of meters. To stop the jets from firing, the vine prepared to spit acid. A great throbbing pulse went through the vine as the viscous liquid was transported to the head. Then, preceeded by a great sucking noise, a huge volume of powerful acidic sap washed over the Fuhrer, finding its way in between the plates of armor and into the damaged sections.

Finally the vine ceased its movement, and released the Berserk Fuhrer, letting the machine's momentum carry it before Biollante. When it finally stopped, there was no immediate follow-up attack. It got up and faced Biollante, charging it's claws. By now, a little more than half of the damage done to her had been healed, and her regeneration wasn't letting up. The burnt flesh caused by the wounds was replaced as well, though more slowly. However, even these wounds were well on their way to being sealed by this time.

But something was wrong. Something the Berserk Fuhrer never even registered: the sound. The air was filled a sound that resembled the rustling of leaves, only fuller. Just before the Berserk Fuhrer could unleash whatever attack it had in mind, the first leaf hit. It was a glancing blow that merely carved a shallow gouge in the armor under the left eye, across the left shoulder, and then the left thigh. Less than a second later, the whole 180 degree field of view in front of Biollante became a cloud of razor pod-leaves. Within the first second of the assault, the Berserk Fuhrer had a leaf go straight through his left thigh, had the tips of three of the 'lances' on his buster claws bent outwards, one on his right and two on the left, and had at least a dozen lodged in its back and tail.

The acid that had washed over him earlier was making an impact: it was thinning parts of him that were now being shredded before this hailstorm of destruction. The now-fully energized blades would destroy any leaf that hit them almost instantly. But only almost. They were still making chinks on the energized blades. Finally, the Berserk Fuhrer threw up its frontal shield. The leaves didn't stop coming, and it was going to be hard to make the next move.

But it didn't make the next move: Biollante did. The leaves stopped, and the instant they did, one of the super-massive vines smacked the Berserk Fuhrer in the shield, sending him sprawling and screeching backwards and carving a trench in the ground. The shield was broken when the buster claws were jostled about. But instead of following up with another strike from the vines, Biollante did something new. The ground opened up beneath the Berserk Fuhrer, and it fell into a living hole. Its buster claws were caught in awkward positions, and pressed close to the Fuhrer by the constricting hole. Thorns jutted from the walls and tore at the machine's armor. There was acid in this place as well, and the level was rising as large toothy leaves closed over the top, leaving the Fuhrer in darkness.

[Inferno Rodan]

Still going overboard with the regen. And removing body parts, including blade tips, is a no-no.

[lordnidhogg]

How is saying "much of her damage had been healed by that point" too much regen? It's practically her main ability/power, and I purposefully did not say 'most', 'all', or 'she had nearly finished' or anything like that. She would have healed much of the damage by that point. Sorry if I was too vague, but "much" considering the amount of her you're probably imagining you blew away, is not overkill on the regen.

As for the blade tips, fine. They aren't body parts, they're the extremities of your claws, but whatever.

Again, how much she "would have healed" is irrelevant. If BF used his SCPC on her to the full extent of what it should do, her entire body would be vaporized. Hell, if several meters of flesh around the wounds weren't basically turned to charcoal, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it. But you're just shrugging that off like it's nothing. Nuh-uh, that's not gonna fly.

As for the blade tips, fine. They aren't body parts, they're the extremities of your claws, but whatever.

Saying they're not body parts is akin to saying fingertips aren't body parts.

Speaking of which, you didn't fix the part where you cut off BF's finger.
