Alright, on top of everything else, looks like we've got a timer hooked to our gun.

Well, unless we can find something to patch it up with. Is there any way we could fix it, very quickly and temporarily?

In any case, escape/retreat takes first priority.

The chimney circled here. Its slanted so you'll have cover, and it'll give you a good view of their movements. Only problems are the lack of bolts to fire and lack of air pressure, but if you make sure your first shot counts...

>>27664

I believe since our weapon is lacking in range now, we ought to find a high spot that we can leap from silently and land on the big guy. Once We close the distance sufficiently I doubt he'll be able to do much if we land on his back.

A high vantage point such as...The statue perhaps? Or somewhere where we can be more concealed when we make said leap of faith?

>>27667
High vantage point would be optimal. Statue sounds good.

>>27667
>>27670

I agree with the concealed leap-of-faith, but I think we'd be too easy to spot up on that statue.

If Gamera's moving south(?) and we can get there in time, the slanted roof which Satan pointed out here:

>>27666

would work quite well.

Do we have any very close range weaponry, such as a knife/dagger/entrenching tool (mini shovel)?

Also, considering we're going into some CQC here, are there any bulky pieces of armor/equipment we won't need? We might even need to temporarily dump the gun and backpack, if need be.

>>27666
I like this idea.

Warehouse rooftop it is.

My armor is pretty badly dented from that blow, I don't even want to think about what would have happened had I not been wearing it. The air compressor has a somewhat small crack in it's hull, all in all, I'm surprised that's all it's got.

In my bag I have DEMESI'S SCARF and the ENGSAMI KNIFE. Some one stole the SHOCK CUDGEL from my quarters, probably Kyaos, so the Knife currently looks like my only real melee option, though the SHOCK LANCER could probably be improvised as a melee weapon.

I can hear Ga'nneda stomping around below me, they probably know I haven't gone to far.

>>27692
Weild knife and drop onto him, using gravity on your own weight to dirve it into Kyoas. Even if you miss her, you'll likely stab the turtle's neck.

If it comes down to it, can you rig your shock lancer into an IED?

>>27692

Removing the armor is out of the question, then.

Looks like the stealth drop, followed by berserker rage is our only option here.

...And as for an improvised weapon, could you possibly turn your lancer into a kind of electric club? It would be exceedingly badass to turn it on, then drop several stories and pull some Thor shit right onto Mini-Rodan's head.

Followed by a quick shanking to finish her, of course.

>>27692
I agree with >>27699
but instead of diving down with a dagger, use a Guide Rod. With gravity on your side, you should have enough force to break through Gamera's skin, or kill Kyaos outright, and if you can pierce through that natural armor then your lightning gun will become lethal against the brute.

>>27699
>>27715

Alright, I admit these are probably better ideas than mine. But you still can't doubt the cool factor of a lightning hammer.

*PLU-SHINK*

Dammit, Kyaos dodged, she AWLAYS dodges!

>Ga'nneda lets out a gut-wrenching roar as the GUIDE ROD sinks into the back of his neck.

"YOU UNDERHANDED LITTLE GLOW WORM!" Kyaos shrieks as she flaps further back onto Ga'nneda's back.

>>27773
Wow, Kyaos is kind of hot.

Anyway, move the rod around. Make him BLEED. Make him suffer for what he has done to DEMESI.

Now it's time for ZAP, MOTHAFUCKA!

>>27773
Quick! Grab Deme, jump off Ga'nneda's back, aim and fire! If you go fast kyaos won't have time to react.

>>27773
Pull out lightning gun.

Don't stop shooting until he stops moving.

I am aware that lightning blasts would cause muscle spasms.

>>27773
Alright, well done Tav! Now... er, wait. We dropped the lightning gun to make this easier. Uhh.

...

...well let's make the most of it. I doubt Gamera can reach you up there, so hold onto the rod so he can't shake you off. Try to fisticuff Kyaos. If things get too hairy in there, retreat back up the warehouse rooftop to get yer gun, and lets lightning Gamera.

Now take the knife and slash out his eyes!

Keep stabbing. Kyaos will be forced to stop you, so be ready to punch her.

>>27780
>dropped the gun
FUCK.

Plan b: grab Deme and RUN. Find your gun asap and then blast the fuck outta him.

>>27780

If we do that, Kyaos will probably just pull the guide rod out before we get a shot off.

I say we dig that rod in until we get it between a couple of vertebrae, while fighting off the flying bitch with your knife.

>>27784
I wonder if the ROD would still GUIDE if its all the way in the body.

Leave the rod partially exposed. We are going to Zap that Fucker.

retract the knife, see if you can cut the ropes holding deme. a knife and two swordfeet is better than a knife.

I like the knifing plan. Okay.

Hold onto that rod, knife at Ga'nneda, and if Kyaos tries to get in the way, knife at her.

>>27797

Yeah, sounds about right.

However, if we get the chance, we should at least attempt to free Deme; that way, we could do something drastic to kill them both, like the aforementioned intentional-building-collapse plan.

Also, the enemy wouldn't have a bargaining chip. We'd be able to go on the defense, and thus have an advantage.

Otherwise, just keep stabbing shit.

"GET OFF OF HIM YOU BASTARD!"

you lost me, unless there's also a Kraid reference there.

You're beastly strong, considering that you can run up walls while carrying that huge cannon and power supply. To say nothing of surviving getting punched through a wall.

Try to grab onto Kyaos' wounded leg. It's a bit less spiky now. Yank her down out of the air.

Time to execute second phase: Jump back on the wall and run up. We can't take them both at same time so let's see if we can electrocute one.

Oh, HOLD YOUR BREATH against Kyaos if you can.

>>27818
May no one doubt Tav's eligibility to Crossover 3 again.

>>27818

Stomp that rod in. Honestly, I think driving a spike into his spine has a higher chance of killing him than the lightning, but either way we need to drive that thing deep into Gamera.

Continue to rip and tear.

Yeah hammer it into that fucker's head.

>>27834

Oh, and if you kill Gamera here, try your best to make him fall forward. And keep Kyaos away from Deme afterwards, too, since she'll probably be out for revenge.

>>27818
You're in prime position to cut Demesi off of Ganneda's back.

And judging from the position of that rod, a blast of electricity would probably prove to do some serious damage, if not lethal. At least I'm assuming his spinal column and brainstem still follow the route of a regular humanoid.

So, course of action: Cut Demesi down, use LOIHGTNIN' to take Ganneda out of commission, hopefully permanently.

>>27918

Yeah, that'll do fine. Give the rod one quick stomp before we grab Demesi and run, though.

Oh, and while we do so, continue the excellent knife defense against Kyaos, at least until we actually have to cut the ropes. Then, just kick her or something.

>>28320
Excellent line, friend.

Then cut line, drop onto the bitch with both feet, and book it for your gun.

Quickly but carefully cut Deme free.

You guys realize that, if Kyaos lives through this, she's going to be incredibly pissed.

As in, "Come back 3 chapters later with some form of meticulously plotted and cruel revenge" kind of pissed.

But by all means, proceed. She was asking for it, anyway.

>>28340
That is why she must not live through this.

If we land on her, we need to stab like the fist of the north star.

Having to not only defend yourself but your little pal as well in your current condition doesn't seem like the best of plans.
Turn tail and run towards your gun, then hide. Is there a sewer system in this city?

Haul ass somewhere the big monster can't follow.

Man, Tav, you are a goddamn ninja.

Now run the hell away! Go hide somewhere!

Wait, shit, where did Kyaos go? She was right next to Ga'nneda's tail a second ago.

Anyway, make a mad dash for your gun, but watch your back.

Shoot that bastard in the head now that Deme is safe .

>>28577

As an addition to this, check to make sure Kyaos isn't pulling the rod out of Ga'nneda, or trying to take your gun.

>>28594
Actually, if she was trying this with her spindly little wing hands, it would probably just mean she ends up getting zapped too. good end!

>>28605

Good point. Still, it would be nice to know where the hell she went so she can't ambush us later on.

And, whether she can use it or not, she can still steal our gun, removing any chance of killing Ga'nneda quickly.

Serious suggestion: Get yourself and Demesi to a safe and defensible/barricadeable place nearby and pass out.

Hold up one of Deme's limp wings and high five it.

Is there anywhere in the city that you feel you can safely hide out in for a few days while your injuries stabilize?
