[Hello Purvis]

>You run into the hangar!
>It's...long and empty. There is a single jet in here.

>You keep up the speed, very aware that Sanae is at your back. No attacks yet.
>She doesn't answer you.
>Charged to 70%

> If we can't, blow that shit UP! Attack a fuel tank or, something.

>"And were you really planning to shoot me down in this thing?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Specifically, attack by throwing a fusion ball at it, rather than wasting charge.

[Hello Purvis]

> May I assume we lack the skill set needed to steal the jet?
> If we can fly it, jack that bitch.
> If we can't, blow that shit UP! Attack a fuel tank or, something.

>You don't know how to fly a jet. And, really, you don't know where the gas tanks are.

>"And were you really planning to shoot me down in this thing?"

>She's too busy running after you to answer.

> Specifically, attack by throwing a fusion ball at it, rather than wasting charge.

>You get ready to throw a fusion ball an-Oh god your back!
>You go stumbling forward and land on your hands and knees.

> I thought we were paying attention to back attacks
> Well, nevermind that, how does the wound feel? As in what's it's nature?

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Quickly get up and face Sanae

> Can we do an Omni-directional blast?

[DracoOmega]

>Try to right ourselves and quickly turn around
>Ready our arm cannon and be prepared to shoot it she's right up in our face, now

[Hello Purvis]

> I thought we were paying attention to back attacks
> Well, nevermind that, how does the wound feel? As in what's it's nature?

>Can't pay attention everywhere. Especially when blasting things.
>Feels like you got kicked. It could be from being kicked, or danmaku. Luckily, it didn't get your wings.

> Quickly get up and face Sanae

> Can we do an Omni-directional blast?

>Try to right ourselves and quickly turn around
>Ready our arm cannon and be prepared to shoot it she's right up in our face, now

>You get up, turn around, and prepare to give Sanae what  for with the control rod.
>...She just ran around you while you were getting up. Damn it!
>You have launched some onmi-directional danmaku several times, but Sanae seems wise to it. With 100% charge, you could send out large spheres in 8 directions, but it'd power you down enough to keep you from recharging for a bit. The spellcard form was much better about that...

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Hey, Sanae! Can you just tell me one thing before you get ready to try something stupid? What time is it?"

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

> Can we blow up the entire room that we're in?
> Preferably with a blast that will allow us to knock Sanae unconscious or escape.

[DracoOmega]

>Is she heading for the jet, again?
>Run towards after her, while angling toward the side of the jet. Don't want to be in front of it, if she can actually reach it
>Shoot her. Rapid-fire, moderate spread. Enough to distrupt her momentum, at least

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Shoot the jet itself with say...40% power if she is getting too close to it

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hey, Sanae! Can you just tell me one thing before you get ready to try something stupid? What time is it?"

>"Is this one of those internet meme things?" asks Sanae, as she sends a wave of danmaku at you. ....Are those snakes?

> Can we blow up the entire room that we're in?
> Preferably with a blast that will allow us to knock Sanae unconscious or escape.

>You may be able to with 100% charge. But, chances are the aftereffects would kill Sanae and maybe you too. You're not immune to flaming debris going at high speeds.

>Is she heading for the jet, again?
>Run towards after her, while angling toward the side of the jet. Don't want to be in front of it, if she can actually reach it
>Shoot her. Rapid-fire, moderate spread. Enough to distrupt her momentum, at least

>No, she is trying to blast you, and shot before you did.

>Not an issue, yet.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> What are you doing standing there? blast her back

[DracoOmega]

>Take to the air, and lunge forward for an instant
>Launch a couple large spheres towards Sanae
>Then, flare your wings, and sweep to the side, strafing an arc wide to her left. Lay down a stream of rapid fire towards her, as you sweep around this path

[UncertainJakutten]

> "Oh no, not a meme at all!"
> Make sure to keep dodging as you talk
> "I just am VERY interested in the time. You see, I have a date after all this, and I don't want to be late, yanno? So, I mean, if you could tell me the time, I could figure out how fast we need to wrap this up."

[Blitzer]

>Do you even care about your other quests anymore?
>Get ready to graze.

[UncertainJakutten]

(I'm lying about the date. I just want to be able to set the pocketwatch so we can use it again. It can save our ass)

[Hello Purvis]

>Launch a couple large spheres towards Sanae
>Then, flare your wings, and sweep to the side, strafing an arc wide to her left. Lay down a stream of rapid fire towards her, as you sweep around this path

>You take to the air, and Sanae's shots pass under you by a hair.
>You send a couple of large spheres at Sanae, then strafe to the left.
>She charges between the two spheres, and stumbles into a line of danmaku you leave for her.

> "Oh no, not a meme at all!"
> Make sure to keep dodging as you talk
> "I just am VERY interested in the time. You see, I have a date after all this, and I don't want to be late, yanno? So, I mean, if you could tell me the time, I could figure out how fast we need to wrap this up."

>She's not answering, recovering from the hit and taking to the air.

>Do you even care about your other quests anymore?
>Get ready to graze.

>The ones that are finished, or the one I am waiting for a reply to?
>You get ready to graze around whatever she throws at you. It seems to be...a lot of bullet arcs, filling up the sky and leaving little room to maneuver.

[Kilgamayan]

Too distracted to help much, but I wanted to drop a friendly reminder. Be creative with your fight. "Shoot her" and "dodge" are incredibly bland and surefire ways to put yourself in a tighter situation. Description is key. "Fire these bullets in this pattern" and "contort our body in this way in this direction" are far more likely to get positive results.

Also, don't entirely rule out the idea of letting her actually get to the jet. Once she straps in she's fair game, and the cockpit shield probably can't withstand what we're capable of throwing at it.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Wait, the sky? I thought we were in the hanger

> Graze towards her at a fast speed, leaving a trail of bullets behind you, make it look like you want to tackle her and when you just past her spin around and blast her with a large Plasma ball

[DracoOmega]

>Can we get a read on their trajectories? If so, try to maneuver to a comparatively safer location among the field and launch some rapid-fire spreadshots
>Otherwise, try to use a larger blast to punch a hole through the shots, and follow it into the gap it's created in the field

>Sky in a metaphorical sense. It's a pretty spacious hanger.
>You can read their paths, but realize you're going to need space to get around them. Charging would quickly get you walled in. Ducking the wrong way would get you walled in.
>You move to a spot you feel should be safe, but you do not know how safe it'll stay. You raise a finger to the air and invoke another sunburst. Sanae dodges around it with ease. You think she knows how to read that pretty well now.
>Charged to: 30%

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Can we do a small laser barrage?

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

> Can we make our bullets ricochet?
> If so, fire a few shots past her to where they'd bounce back and hit her.
> If not, fire a slow-moving sun at her, and as soon as she dodges try to hit her with a laser or two.

[Hello Purvis]

> Can we do a small laser barrage?

>If you're willing to expend charge for it.

> Can we make our bullets ricochet?
> If so, fire a few shots past her to where they'd bounce back and hit her.
> If not, fire a slow-moving sun at her, and as soon as she dodges try to hit her with a laser or two.

>You don't have enough charge for a sun, let along a laser follow-up. Throwing those two suns at Sanae took up much of your charge.

>_

[DracoOmega]

>Launch a stream of danmaku whose trajectory curves and splits. Make it harder for her to tell where she should move to evade them.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Keep dodging the bullets, when charge is sufficient, launch a huge barrage of bullets at her and then predicting where she would move next spam small lasers at her
