I'm Sorry. So Sorry. - Meme Scene 4 Prompt 6
It was quite late when Anya entered the penthouse. The door shut behind her and she sighed. It had been a very long day and she still had a few hours of work ahead of her tonight. The penthouse was quiet and dark. Anya wondered where Sarah was for a moment and then figured she was in the gym. Her girlfriend was as much a gym nut as Anya was a workaholic.

Shaking her head, she made her way toward the kitchen. There had to be some leftovers in the fridge and she needed some coffee.

She stopped when she saw the two place settings on the table. For a moment she didn't think much of it, but then she remembered.

Shit. Dammit to Hell.

Today was their anniversary and Anya had completely forgotten about it. They had planned on dinner together and then some quality time. Anya felt like a complete heel and it was time to do some groveling and beg for forgiveness.

She made her way down to the gym.

Yep, Sarah is entirely predictable. When the dinner plan didn't happen, and Anya wasn't getting the coms, probably over her music - or she shut them off again so she could work in peace, Sarah headed straight for a workout to deal with the frustration.

Right now she has one of her standards - 'Sentinel Nightmare' up on the holo-trainer, alone against two triads of the Alpha and Omega sentinels from her world. Almost impossible, especially with the difficulty cranked up - but definitely a constant hard workout.

With the noise, and her concentration on the four giant robots still standing, already adapted to her tactics for taking down the first two, she doesn't even notice Anya come in.

Two choices lay before her. Watch until her girlfriend was done smashing things or shut the program down to get her attention. Anya thought about it for a few moments. Then a third option came to her.

Her armor came to her and she powered up the repulsors, unleashing a blast at the closest robot as she took to the air.

All things considered, smashing giant killer robots is not a normal couples' activity... but its probably the best option. Sarah notices, of course, but the long-ingrained guerilla warrior training won't let her take her attention off the giant robots, even when she's less than pleased with her wife. And admittedly, the help is welcome. The program was set to be almost impossible, a nightmare scenario - and the robots have adapted to Sarah's tactics, not Anya's.

The new combatant gives them pause enough to back off and assess, letting Sarah build up a charge in the hammer to try and batter through the new force field they'd field-adapted to counter her quick strikes.

Anya charged up the suit and unleashed a powerful electromagnetic blast. Though the robots weren't real, the program should simulate any damage done by the blast. Thankfully the room itself was shield against such an attack.

The EMP burst sets one of the robots malfunctioning entirely, while the slightly more shielded Omegas go sensor blind, and begin trying to adapt. It also takes down the force field, letting Sarah lash out with a bladt from the hammer at one, then send the hammer flying at another. She still hasn't had a chance to address Anya directly, but at least she's continuing the program and responding to her attack in natural teamwork.

Anya followed in after Sarah's blast and smashed into the Sentinel. She smashed a hole through the thing's chest.

"Anya, careful!" she calls. Even though its a program, like all her training, she treats it as deadly serious. And what made the sentinels from her time so dangerous compared to any modern version other than the Mk II's was not their innate power level - it was their learning and adaptability. So far, they've gotten used to Sarah's strength and combat skills.

The smash sends it reeling, especially the one-two punch of lightning and the physical assault, but the Omega is still, if unsteadily so, on its feet.

"Radar lock, target acquired." it intones, firing a pair of seeker rockets from a shoulder panel.

Anya deployed countermeasures to distract the rockets. At least she hoped they would. One was distracted but the second kept going. Anya turned on the power to her jet boots and flew away. The plan was to circle back and have the rocket hit one of the other sentinels.

Sarah catches on to what Anya is doing, and immediately launches herself between the other two sentinels to distract them.
"They communicate, act like practically one robot." she warns, blocking fire from one, being driven forward by a blast to the back from the other - but it leaves them open, the one Anya streaks past staggering backwards from the rocket from its own fellow.

"Analyzing." the one who fired the rocket announces, firing multiple rapid-fire laser blasts in Anya's direction. "New targeting directive needed."

Anya ducked, dodged and weaved to avoid the lasers, but she did get clipped by one of them. It caught her on the left thigh and she could feel the armor giving way.

She opened fire with a unibeam from the center of her chest plate.
rogue_star From: [info]rogue_star Date: March 17th, 2012 02:42 am (UTC) (Link)
The Sentinel goes staggering back under the unibeam, really starting to show the stress of the fight now. Another intones, "Target laser painted, firing las-guided missiles." - followed, predictably, by a stream of mini-missiles, homing in on the laser-painted target.

Sarah is pushing up from the ground at this moment to see the steady stream of seekers. "Anya!"

She flings her shield, trying to throw it to Anya to cover up.
anyastark From: [info]anyastark Date: March 17th, 2012 10:53 pm (UTC) (Link)
Anya grabbed the shield and held it up. The rockets slammed into it and Anya kicked in the rockets against the force of the blast.

She tossed the shield back to Sarah and fired her own rockets at the sentinel.

Sarah has taken a couple of hits in the meanwhile, but thankfully, she's durable. Were it not a simulation, it'd definitely leave a few bad marks. Still, she catches the shield in time to block the heavy pulse beam, letting her unload with Mjolnir, taking the firing sentinel's arm off. It begins to focus on self-repair, while the other of the last two remaining does its best with its semi-functional shields to block the rockets, taking some marks in the process.

"Focus fire!" Sarah calls, "We only have thirty seconds before the Alpha's self-repair systems will have them back up!" Which is the other part of the insane difficulty of this scenario - like the Mk II's, alphas and omegas get back up.
