Archer21 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Seeing Guy leaping into the way and realizing that there's no way to stop at this rate, Joe tries to leaps over him and forward, diving into DMD with his shoulder. *Man I hope I clear the little guy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfPotts Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 The newcomer (who is now naked - since he ripped his way out of his clothes when he grew) speeds towards the Dark Matter Destroyer faster than a race car (more powerful than a locomotive?..), churning up large divets of earth from the exercise field as his massive feet fly (figuratively) over it - leaving a long cloud of dirt & grass in his wake...... The Samurai reacts fastest to the sudden appearance of the new player in the exercise games. With a series of leaps & flips that would put the best Hong Kong action movie to shame he intercepts the speeding metal hulk. Trying his best to ignore the warnings of impending doom that are screaming in his head, he tucks into a ball as he flings himself at the 200+ ton metal man's legs (&, most likely, praying that his timing isn't even a little out on this one... ::crazy )!The metal giant reacts too slowly to avoid the lightning fast Samurai - there's a flash of light from the smaller Nova's body as he barrels into the giant's legs, bouncing off at an angle as the larger Nova stumbles - now flying uncontrollably towards the DMD, who simply turns, plants his feet firmly, & squares-up against the oncoming metal mass...... With a gesture from Lodestone the tank that was plumeting towards him stops in mid-air, hovers for a few seconds, then flys off towards the sprawling metal Nova. The two massive metal forms clash in mid-air, a fraction of a second before the metal giant impacts his dark matter counterpart. Incredibly the armoured military vehicle is totally wrecked, smashed into a thousand pieces of shrapnel, whilst the Nova seems none the worse for the collision, & is still on course ::shocked !..... The two giants collide, with a booming force that is heard throughout the camp! The nearby baseline instructors & observers cover their ears & take a step back from the shattering impact. When they look again towards the two giants they see that the DMD hasn't even shifted, & has caught the metal Nova (who appears equally unfazed by the impact) - although it appears that even DMD can't actually hold this guy aloft... The two giants end up face-to-face, toe-to-toe, locked in a grapple... ::blink [both DMD & Joe are Bruised] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knave Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Mid-rebound and the entire world has slowed down to a crawl... the tank DISINTERGRATES against the metal giant with an almight CRASH!.. The Samurai is thinking * **** me! I'm still alive!*The Titans collide... the world SHAKES... The Samurai is thinking * **** me! I'm still alive*The Samurai crashes back to earth and backflips a few times to reduce his momentum... *Right, my son. Lets see how bleedin' 'ard you really are!* he thinks as he leaps five hundred meters almost straight up - twisting in midair to stay targetted on the metal giant - preparing, focussing his Chi (Lethal Damage) on a devastating kick to be delivered with all of his own strength as well as the power of the drop.

Unless you want everyone to think you're a poof, you might want to stop hugging me. Or didn't you notice I'm naked?" DMD can only stare back as he notices the newcomers metal skin shifting, the sound of metal grinding clearly audible. It's almost as if the metal of his body is rearranging itself, constantly in flux. Catching a glimpse of motion as Guy leaps into the air, Joe tenses for impact, the metal of his skin getting thicker and his body getting even heavier! (OOC: Superheavy is now turned on!)

For the merest instant a thought crosses to his conscious mind. * Guy - you could really bleedin' kill that bloke doing this... is this really the sane thing to do? * and of course he has to justify himself... to himself... * No way mate. That git took a bleedin' tank on the 'ead an 'e's still going. I'm just going to 'it him and maybe put a little dent in 'im and jump away maybe before 'e 'as a chance to come after me...

Don't they want us to get a contract or what?*As he descends at an ever increasing rate the Titans release each other and step away... and begin to laugh ::smiley1 ::smiley1 ... Of all the things that might have happened - this is enough...

ProfPotts Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 [The two giant Novas were slowing inflicting minimal Bashing damage on each other during the Clinch - but neither fell past their Bruised Health Levels.]The instructors Lodestone was ranting at ignore his requests for explosives, & can't resist having a chuckle at his rather... 'worried'... response to the new Nova's arrival (like a potential enemy could just walk onto the DVNTS base... ::confused ).Meanwhile Ms Cable has approached the group of visitors & appears to be talking to them, occassionally gesturing towards one of the Novas, or refering to something on her palmtop computer. The Koreans appear excited, & possibly impressed, by what they've seen - although the General himself maintains an unreadible professional calm.There's a collective sigh of relief from all concerned when a metal plate from the remains of the practice tank is Magnetokinetically floated over to wrap itself 'round Joe's waist (kilt-fashion) in an attempt to preserve his modesty.

knave Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Guy rattles off an approximation - it'll be near the right numbers...(It's been quite a while since I did this sort of thing - but Terminal velocity depends on the cross sectional area of the falling object. Looking at a skydiving site it says TV is an average of 120miles/h for a human shaped skydiverTaking 120miles/h * 1.6 to get kilometers/h gives you 192k/h which is 192 000m per 3600 seconds... which means terminal velocity is reached at around 53meters per second ish.So... Assuming 10m/s/s as our rate of fall under gravity - it takes just over 5 seconds to get to that speed, by which time the diver has fallen 150m. So 10km - 150m = 9850m at which Alex will be falling at 53m/s for a total of 186ish seconds.So 5s + 186 seconds = 191 seconds - call it 190s. Divide that by 60s/minute and you get 3 minutes and ten seconds.Course - this is all blatantly wrong if it's DMD that's falling : P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 *The world is cold and thin up here*, Alex thinks to himself. *Correction: The AIR is cold and thin.* Even has he automatically adjusts to fall correctly, his outfit totally covers him. For a long time Alex just stares at his surroundings. Falling like this almost causes sensory overload. After a time that subjectively feels like forever, he adjusts. *This is Great. This must be what it is like to fly. I have really got to learn how to do this.*{{OOC: Personal experience guys. There is nothing like it.}}Eying the ground, Alex finds it almost impossible to figure out how close he is. *How long has it been? How close am I? Well, I might as well transform. That should put some more speed on it even if I'm not close.*Alex transforms. He also attempts to adjust his fall to land in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
