I LIVE
It seems the power plant isn't going to give the group the luxury of wiping everything out before moving on to the second wave, however. The robots have determined that the lights, dim as they may be, are providing them an advantage-
And so they proceed to flicker, then go out entirely, leaving the rooms pitch black save for the lights blinking upon their enemies. After that happens, there is the sound of light-weighted metal lifting in which several more lit enemies appear; right out of the wall which flank the group from the front -and- the rear now.
In the rear group, one set of lights is completely unfamiliar. Behind it are the familiar lights of two more knightvision droids, and at the front familiar lights of four K-9s. (The area becoming lit in any manner would reveal the unfamiliar to be the very durable 'little buddy' droid and the position to be an extremely defensive one.)
The front group is a very large pack of the K-9s, eight of them, to add to the two Knight visions being dismantled. The dog-like robots waste no time striking first since they don't need to see in light, so everyone has to deal with extendable, shocking tongues being shot their way.
good thing everyone has temporary Tophsight huehuehue
Don't stop advancing! Vyers, Zoisite, defend the rear! Everyone else carve a path forward!
[With the automata already reinforcing, there was little chance they'd let up anytime soon. If she was going to buff the team and their weapons any further, Ejava would have to make an opening. An Earth-aspected Elemental Blast impacted the ground just in front of Adeline, bursting into an explosion of elemental Essence that knocked the K-9s momentarily off their feet, sparing her allies thanks to the protections she'd granted them. The brief respite bought enough time for her to follow up with Dragon Blade Beneficence. Elemental Essence of all Aspects roiled over the surface of her Daiklave, Satsuki's blade, and Adeline's power gauntlets, empowering them with additional elemental effects.]
[OOC: if anyone else has melee weapons I missed, they get the same buffs.
The buffed weapons gain the following on-hit effects:
Fire: extra damage
Wood: extra damage
Earth: knockdown
Air: penalty to target's next action
Water: slows down target's next action]
And people can see normally again.
"Miss White! Be careful, okay? Humans can't see in the dark." You didn't really have to INFORM her of that Koishi. "I'll fix it!" Wait...
She took off like a rocket, hovering above the advancing robots and tucking into a ball, somersaulting a short way. Danmaku wasn't good for actual fights, and neither were spellcards. However sometimes their utility could be put to good use... and no one said you couldn't turn up the magical potency so they did some real damage either.
"Superego."
Koishi lit up like a beacon drawing in the robots around her like a black hole, her entire body sparking with potent magic. the robots that touched it were sliced to ribbons, drawing in blue magical hearts to batter the ones that didn't get close enough to touch.
Unfortunately this only destroyed those nearest her, though it was rapidly drawing more in, the suction growing stronger the closer they got. And, while the spell provided some light, it wasn't enough to light the whole room.
Dragons don't need light to see
And then the lights went out. Adeline's reptillian eyes gleamed in the dark, visible to the rest as pinpricks of yellow and black gleaming in the dark. "Well, that's prolly not good. More comin....got the ones in the back!" She said using the explosion to flip over to the backline once more, furiously attacking the scanbots again, her buffed gauntlets striking and lashing out, once more intent at drawing their aggro as she shifted into her martial style, the defensive cautious movements replaced by the sneaky and sudden lashes of the Shadow Hand style.
It's been a while so I'm going to continue. The others can jump in once they get back.
The 'Superego' spell certainly does its damage, the knocked over K-9s are a prime target for it with more than half of the group caught within and diced to ribbons and sparks- Adeline's fire not only finish off the Knight Vision droids in a spectacular display of flame, sparks and combustion but assists in the K-9s demise as well leaving them a mere three that Satsuki easily handles with a flurry of slashes of her blade that ends up doing far more than she had expected and are torn apart.
With the front line cleared, the group can see that a diagonal-traveling lift that heads to the generator is within reach and rather suspiciously unguarded..
As for the rear line, when Adeline flips over the Buddy-droid, she activates it's counter-attack involving an burst of blue gas along the way; gas with the possible effect of making her fall asleep after her first swing of her fists. Depending on the result; either one or both of the knight droids are damaged by the gauntlet assault and attention taken. The K-9s focused on Zoicite are easily dispatched by Vyers (and possibly Zoicite as well) leaving them to deal with the other four canine-like droids which attack with their extended, shocking tongues.
Also of note that whichever tries to get past it to assist Adeline first is targeted by Buddy's 'Block' technique which places itself directly in the other's path.
