Post #1066, by Little Yoshi

(*smacks head* sorry Mog! Oh, and Ton, I would sorta like you to edit your post, because I try not to use the Lord's name in vain)

You know... this explains so much of Chris and Liyoshi's behavior.

Post #1067, by Tengu Maul


(here we come!)

We know, Tengu. We gleaned that information from your user name affixed to this post. I like his flair, though, acting like his arrival is an event everyone has been waiting for, and thus demands a formal announcement.

Lavos suddenly growled as he saw Ness, Paula, Jeff, Poo, Jack and Mani out of the corner of his eye.

"Gufufufufu... you've finally come. Prepare!" he then gestured to the six to come.

The six rushed over and entered the fight. Jack began with a double slash to the reviving arm, and Mani impaled the lower stomach with her staff, and then pole-vault kicked Lavos in the face.

Ness and Poo combined PSI Starstorm and Rockin Omegas and launched them at the huge robot. The right arm disintergrated, and now only the left arm and head remained.

You'll notice how the instant Team Tengu arrived, Lavos ceased paying attention to anyone else involved. And you know, come to think of it, Tengu's plot rails were never at any risk of being disturbed by Liyoshi & Co. Left to their own devices, you could come back in 500 posts and they would still be happily fighting Lavos. At least Liyoshi would be. Probably by himself after driving off the rest of his team by constantly insisting Lavos can't be defeated yet, it's too soon! Yet Tengu threw this ultra-short (for Tengu) post in here, clearly because he was concerned one of the kiddies would try to kill Lavos off before Tengu was ready to throw his real post in there.

(Tengu, say the LEFT arm is destroyed, cause that's the one that Mog attacked. OK?)

That... is a really bizarre objection to raise to Tengu's post, if you're going to have sack enough to raise an objection.

(And make Lavos attack! Geez, he isn't a punching bag...)

Tengu's obvious response is to make Lavos attack you. And maybe Ness.

Ton jumped in to the battle. Leaping at Lavos, Ton slashed at his head.

"Yaaaaagghhgggghh..."

Ton was shocked by a Beam attack from Lavos.

"Grrr... Everyone's Grudge!" Ton threw the spell at Lavos. There was no effect. "What the?!?!"

Jack dodged a cutter attack. "Lavos is Beyond Time!" He yelled. "Time magic won't affect it!"

"Ah, crud. Wait! I know! Disruptor!" Lavos's body flickered, like on a staticy TV, but went back to normal. "Darn! It didn't work!"

(Tengu, don't destroy Lavos's robot form. I have a cool attack that I won't be able to use on his next form, cause you said only the chosen one's can defeat the Lavos Core. Ok desu ka?)

Notice once again how scared the Kiddie Klub was of Tengu Man. t0nberry wouldn't dream of doing something important without Tengu's express permission. (Which naturally he isn't going to get.)

You know, what's interesting here is it seems like the Save the World Club actually thinks this might be the end of the saving the world thing, for now. Pretty much everyone except team guruzeth and the still mostly AWOL Major Asshole and Anthadd (and waffle and Luna, who have disappeared) is in on it now.

(The reason the RIGHT arm went down first is because I[Jack] slash with a D.Bladed Lightsaber, therefore the damage is around 2000-2500 points per slash, and I slashed the arm twice. I won't destroy Lavos' robot form, but I am taking out the other arm this post.)

That would seem impressively technical if it wasn't so stupid. If I recall correctly, another good reason for the right arm going down first is it has a lot less HP than the left arm. This is assuming the right arm is the one on the left of your screen. I think.
Good play by Tengu, too, throwing t0nberry a bone. We're always hiring new Tengulings!

Lavos threw blades at the group, hitting Jack and Jeff. Jeff used a Brain Food Lunch and counter attacked the left are with a Big Bottle Rocket. 

Humorously, Jeff is supposed to be the brains of the group, yet the Brain Food Lunch is a waste on him, as he has no PP to recover. Kraken Soups are cheaper and heal all his HP just the same.

The left arm began to flicker. The head then cast obstacle on everyone. Various people, including, Paula and Poo got confused.

Paula, in confusion accidentally froze Jack with PSI Freeze, but some of it hit Lavos' arm, and reflected back into Poo, knocking sense back into him.

Seriously, there was always a creepy dominant/submissive element to the Paula/Tengu (in that order) relationship he had going on in his dreams. Let's just move on.

Ness cured Paula's confusion, and then jumped up and came down on the arm with his bat for a SMASH hit, and the arm flickered away...

As I recall, it's really supposed to be more of a disintegration. As Liyoshi would no doubt point out if he were here.

Pikachu stood there for a minute, dazzled. He had never seen something so, big, strong, wierd, big, and stuff.

That's bound to get nominated for the Lamest Description of Something Large and Intimidating in the History of Human Communication.

Did I mention big? Then, a thought occured to him. [Hey! I thought Poo was in Summers with Chris and the others!] ((Authors note - If the Poo in Summers isn't the Poo who's battling here, I'm all of a sudden very confused. Oh, and Tengu, 2500 is a lot of damage for one AC to dish out))
Everyone stopped battling, including Lavos and the jellyfish clan. "That's right! When did he get here?"

"Yeah! Jack, how did I get here?"

Pikachu stared at Lavos while they debated as to how Poo had gone from a vacation in Summers to a battle in Saturn Valley.

I don't think it was ever explicitly stated, but I think a kind of unspoken agreement was settled into along the way that EBPoo is not Poo the EarthBound character. Which he isn't, as claiming an EarthBound character as your AC was not permitted. You might recall, if you remember from an annotation like three years ago, that Tengu actually tried to go along with Poo as EBPoo's AC, doubtless because if that were accepted Tengu could then pounce and claim Paula as his AC. Let's see if he takes one more shot at that or just shoots down Poo/EBPoo outright.

Then, Pikachu spoke in a private thought sppech to Poryhedron. [Poryhedron, I'm going to get on your back and we're going to attack Lavos together, okay?] Poryhedron nodded, indicating that he understood.

Pikachu jumped on his back. Lavos was still watching the people argue about how Poo got there, amused. He didn't notice Pikachu and Poryhedron approaching him.

Pikachu and Poryhedron combined their attacks and SMAAAAAASHED Lavos' head, which the jellyfish didn't block. They were to amused watching the humans they didn't even notice until Lavos screamed in pain.

"Okay! Someone elses turn!"

"FINE! IT'S MINE NOW!" Lavos cast Chaos, and Pikachu and Poryhedron were immediately confused.

Or... confused-er? S---, man, I'm confused as all hell. Lavos's attack must have reached me through my computer screen 12 years later. He's the Time Devourer and all that, after all.
