NOTICES
Alright, I'm going through Iceland threads and leaving notices in threads that haven't had any sort of post in awhile. Due to the fact it's been since the 14th since JWC last made a post, I'm giving him a one week warning in order to get things up.
I understand you have things going on with finals, but we realllllllllllllly need to get this thread moving to keep the engine of the event strong. I'll even help you write the post bit by bit each day just so we can go on.

Creation. Life. The living. The Dead. Damnation. Demons. Angels. Gods and Mortals. Sentience.
Sentience... and the right to preserve it. The will to preserve it...
In one moment, ASRA stood holding her ground, and in the next, she was suddenly caught in place. Held by an unnatural force. The battlefield was calm now. Silent. It seemed as though everyone had died. As though they all lost their sentience. Yet here ASRA stood, one of 3 who held the strength to still stand opposing such brutal force. The will to kill. To take a life. ASRA had never contemplated the meaning of it. That which has sentience should wish to preserve it's own sentience. Frozen in place, a million thoughts flashed through her processors in an instant. The world was slow, as she processed everything around her with such speed as though it were only happening frame by frame. She was fully focused on the tendrils that rapidly approached.
Was this the end? Would she die here? Obliterated by the enemy, and that's that? She had only been alive for a few months... but now she truly felt it. She truly felt alive. The tendril floated through space in her direction, but being held in place by what appeared to be a disturbance in molecular construction, ASRA felt some semblance of despair. She... felt it. Like a tingling in her wires... an increase in electrical output... Her processors were overclocking, her shell overheating. How to escape... How to escape... How to...
Escape.
To break free from confinement or control. The definition of the word remained more promptly at the forefront of her brain. Had she been confined? Was she being controlled? She definitely had to break free. It was rapidly approaching her. That thing spelled certain demise. An end to her sentience.
Life. Death. Irrelevant. She could not be alive, no matter how hard she tried. She was not biotic. But that was one thing she had that made her superior. She was not human. She was not mortal. Sentience should be protected, no matter the cost.
Final input accepted. Self-Preservation protocol activated. Preparations nearing completion.
Her body opened outward in a flash, releasing oxygen molecules from the air in that very instant, which would allow her to fall slightly just a few feet down to the floor, but it was more than enough. The tendril slammed hard into her left arm as she fell, crashing clean through it without resistance. A blue portal opened up beneath her, and another opened just a few inches to her right.
It managed to save her from the tendrils, mostly, as her left arm was now hanging limply by a few wires, and it was in fact out of commission. Immediately, her nanites scuttled to repair these heavy damages... but they could not work fast enough. The bullets she had fired were corroded into dust. The injury took her focus from the battle.
"Surrender or be crushed."
Neoveta was upon her. Her wings managed to strike a critical blow at her chest, causing her systems to go on the fritz for a moment as she caught her bearings and forced a barrier up at full strength around her whole body. Blow for blow, each hit broke another barrier, and threatened to shut her systems down permanently if it weren't for the force being barely strong enough to deflect the hits away as they came. Her battery was failing..
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!!! Her systems were failing. Crashing. She couldn't get her arm to work, and now even her control over the rest of the unit was threatened. Her eyes shined bright gold, only a hint of blue remaining now. Then it fired. Her anti-spiritual missiles fired off at the woman, causing her to dart off into the sky. Good. She fell to the ground, her nanites finally beginning work on the vital systems before anything else. Her arm dangled a bit, but at least had enough repaired to hold her sword with both hands.
And she would pay for striking like this. An eye for an eye, as the humans said.
Tracking the location the girl went in, she indeed opened a portal to directly behind her, raising her blade and striking her clean into her chest.
"You wish to invade our lands, do you not? Those people are content enough without your Vanguard's meddling. You are a plague that needs to be wiped out and purged from our lands. Surrender, retreat or be crushed."
ASRA would laugh, a tad of inky black oil coming up from her throat. It would remain dripping down from her lips as she responded. "I bleed as black as you, mortal. The difference between us is that I am here to preserve the sentience of others. You do not care.. What good is protecting them if you don't care enough about the living to keep them that way? Is not the life of one's enemy still a life, indeed?" She spat, lowering her blade ever so slightly as she leapt back, a loud boom and an alert notice announcing the arrival of her companion. And just as he struck, she would strike. Almost simultaneously, she would burst forth with her sonic propulsion, and stab directly at her chest once more, as the Sugiuran swung down upon her. Her wiring in her left arm would splinter and split with the force, had she and the Sugiuran landed their blows. Giving it no thought, she watched as he raised his arm for another blow, and instead, charged her blade with electricity, her battery flashing red in the upper corner of her visual HUD. She would aim the blade at Neoveta, and attempt to time her blast with the landing of Chikara's second slice. Firing it off after he struck, not only would his flames be slowing her, she would also find herself temporarily stunned by the sheer amount of voltage fired at her.
ASRA fell over.
"Have you even considered that I haven't shown you what I am capable of either? What do you sense from me? It surely is not spiritual energy. You cannot know my strength. I am not some organic for you to sense away at. No, I do not believe you truly understand your own situation." With that, her eyes flickered away as her battery drew closer and closer to cutting off, but at that moment, her eyes fully became golden.
Self-Preservation protocol preparations complete. Launching VALKYRIE mode.
