/qst/ - Quests


Alright, you fucks asked for it so here it is. Yet another cursed quest as being told by me.
---
"oh where is senk. Ya snek. Gib SNEK!" you scroll past the quest "Elf Slav, a truly exclusive gal: what do?" Hmm. Its been a long day and you are just trying to find a quest thread to shitpost in before you head to the concert. Try as you might though, they all seem the same. Everything has lately. You stretch out against your worn out office chair. It was your brothers and came from K-mart back in the 1990s. Despite being beat to shit, with foam coming out the sides, it is probably your favorite place in the house to sit. Granted since your family was killed two months ago, it seems like everywhere is ok to sit.

For some reason you plug your MP3 player into grandpa's old 1970s audio stack. The chrome and nickle green glass accents on it make you think of him, and that last 4th of july. Those were good times man. Auxiliary line in and a button press later, finly knurled knobs bring the volume up and drown out the rest of the house.

Fuck man. It wasn't fair. You just graduated highschool and things were going to be ok. Sure, insurance covered everything and you are now a very young home owner with a car and no debt, but...shit. Its all so empty. Glancing up you notice a streaming white dot in the sky.

4chan is a good place to drown your troubles. You check out /QST/ for a sec, recalling the good days back when qst was just part of /tg/ and /tg/ was just part of /b/, fuck you were a little kid back then, probably shouldn't have been on 4chan. Life punishes you for your past transgressions as you are abruptly crushed by a meteorite, ending your worldly existence. You never even had time for that fap, or that concert, you were finally going to probably have sex. probably. Stacy said she was going to pity fuck the hell out of you. Dammit. what does a boob even feel like?! A bag of sand? Maybe. Why are you still thinking?

Its really...really dark, but in front of you is a phosphor green line of text.

you mentally stroke the text. "Just be gentle. please. Lets do this"
>"No. 0 credits remaining."

Your world tilts, blackness spinning and nausea setting in. Weird glitch artifacts flash over your vision like some sort of synthwave video before blackness settles in again.

Its hard to breath. Shit! you are breathing, but its hard to move. there is something gritty all over you? Sand? Buried?! Whatever, you are alive!

>>2752479
You start to dig, the work isin't hard, but there is just so much sand. It's everywhere, in your hair, your eyes. What feels like an hour later, you finally break the surface. You are on some sort of shitty beach. All the sand is sorta rocky, a little too big. Overhead is a giant shadow but you can't really appreciate it as you brush sand from your eyes.

As your vision clears, you finally can make out whats going on. All around you are giant...crabs. Looking up is some sort of dragon. What the hell is going on, how is this real?

>>2752492
You nope the fuck out of there just in time for the world to shake around you. All around it feels like bombs dropping, but its those giant fucking dragon things landing. You wait a few minutes for the thumps to stop and eventually get brave enough to look out of the hole. Seagulls. Giant..fucking..seagulls. They are eating all the other crabs. You decide to hide out for a while longer and go back into the hole.

But how to pass the time.

You wait a few hours, peaking out of the hole now and again, the carnage is absolute. Wrecked crab bodies litter the beach, the gulls bloated and full flew off a few more hours ago, but you wait a little longer before you crawl out of your hole and take in the ocean air. Fuck man, you are hungry. Like starving.
-----
>Scratch your head

Look at crabs

>>2752527
You scuttle towards the crab across the beach with all it's shitty rocks. Scuttle. wait. You look down. Claws. Oh fuck, you've seen this shit on cartoon retruns. Someone captured you and spliced your DNA with sea life like in streetsharks. This shit is not jawsome! its not jawsome at all! You try to scream but cant, instead a slight burbling comes from your mouth. Oh no. oh no. fuck. But you are so hungry, its hard to think. Panic and hunger. As you make your way over the crab, the realization sets in harder. You are a tiny fucking crab on a big ass beach. The mangled carcass of your countryman looks up at the sky with one eye stalk, the other seems to stare at you. Hungry.

Shrugging internally, you listen to instinct and start consuming the crab. Whats left of it. Unexpectedly powerful claws reach out and crush it's skull, popping off pieces of meet which you happily stuff into your mouth. This is actually really good. really, really good. You could get used to this. You also feel better, a bit more healthy. You spend the rest of the high noon eating this crab, your little belly quite full, but there is still a lot more meat on this beach.

With ravenous hunger, you scuttle like a very small but powerful (you tell yourself) crab consuming machine. Ripping off limbs and tender meat from the fallen. You keep feeling better, your head is more clear, and oddly, you are still ravenous. These smaller crabs..smaller? have you been growing a little? Maybe. Its getting dark outside, the stars are visible and the setting sun hides on the extreme edge of the horizon.

With unnatural hunger for your own kind, you spend the night viciously eating their cadavers, cold and dead, it matters not. Plus they are pretty tasty and you are growing. That and its a pretty good distraction from the fact that your life was shit for so long, and you are a fucking crab now. Smaller creatures of the night slink at the extreme edges of your vision, also partaking in the gruesome feast. The sun begins to peak back up over the opposite edge of the horizon and you stand, quite full and content at the beach's edge. The ocean waves lapping at your pointed feet. You feel good, and tired. At the ocean's edge is an aquatic crab looking at you, curious blue splotches on it's shell and claw mark it. In stark contrast to your dry bumpy shell, it is slick and wet. It snap's its claws in either greeting or challenge.

You snap in challenge. Apparently your gesture was quite rude, as the aquatic crab dashes out of the ocean, and cunningly rushes into a temporary pool, not quite deep enough to submerge the aquatic crab, but not deep enough to drown you either.

It swings its claws about, its message clear "Dare you enter my magical realm? Bitch."

You have no idea what the fuck you are doing, but let your instinct drive you. Wagging your claw in tight controlled ticks, you slap your own carapace slowly. The aquatic crab is intrigued and edges closer to the water's edge where you extend your claw fully, holding a few grains of sand that catch the light. As you run your powerful and masculine claw over it's shell, the foolish crab comes a bit further onto land. This is getting weird for you now. It begins to blow foamy bubbles from its mouth and presents it's rear to you, disgorging a large volume of eggs at the tide pool's edge.

It's brazen offer of headonistic crab pleasures has no effect on you, and you pinch it's shell with both claws. Erotic intrigue turns into animal terror as the blue crab struggles, flailing about and dragging you into the water.

----
>>2752640
Working your claws like tin shears in automotive class you begin to make small, gradual cuts into your hated enemies shell. She was from the ocean, you were from the land, your heavy heart is drowned out by the fire of combat and survival. The struggle is ongoing but its conclusion decided. The sound of crushing shell continues as the blue crab's eye stalks drop limp. It is dead. A full half of it's rear is a mangled ruin of shell and meat, various bits of leg and meat sheared off, drifting lazily in the water. Tiny crab heart racing, you feel alive, upset, wild, you have killed. YOU HAVE KILLED! Raising your claws to the sky, you condemn your enemies, and revel in your glory. Fuck you jeff! FUCK YOU JEFF! Wait. Jeff would probably laugh at you being a crab right now. fuck. whatever. The fight took a lot out of you and you are pretty peckish, but are also exhausted. Above you a single bird observes, not a gull, but something smaller...

You drag the slain crab out of the water to the shore's edge, near it's egg pile. This is what it would have wanted...maybe? Looking at the glistening eggs, you are overcome with a strange urge, something instinctual. Oh gross. No no no..Your instincts say yes. Oh yes. Soon your tail is sitting over the eggs as you spray your crabby mangurt onto them. In time perhaps they will grow into your next lunch? When did you become so heartless? Is this you, or the crab, or are you freed from the shackles of humanity, to hunt the sands?

Looking over at the slain she-crab, it matters not. You dive into the carcass with gusto, ripping apart flesh and shell. As you pop bits of meat into your maw, you are hit with a strange sensation of power, a touch of the ocean. It feels good and drives you to eat more, in your gorging you dont notice a bird, a touch bigger than yourself, watching you eat from just a foot away.

You snap at the bird with one claw while eating. It is apparent it will get neither your meat, nor your eggs. Besides, that would be pretty gross considering what you just did to them. Fucking stupid bird. It looks like some kind of small finch, things like that really don't belong on the beach anyway. Bit by bit the slain crab is consumed, you consider wading into the tidepool for the last scraps but realize your potential progeny may need the nutrients. All in all, there has been cannibalism, murder, and you even had sex. Sort of. You feel content, but exhausted. Its been nearly 24 hours since you first woke.

You locate your old hole, now a bit too small, and work your way down, strength and resolve, along with two diggy claws, making short work of the situation. Soon you drift off, your eye stalks retracting into your shell.

The phosphor glowing green text greets you again, a text cursor flashing like some shitty 1980s PC at the end of a list. While confusing you realize that it is a menu, and simply cascade open both lists to see what they are. Perhaps there is something that can help you not be a crab. Sadly there are no other menus. There is a weird error menu, but whats with that? The Error text jiggles and shakes periodically, distorting with red lines.

You focus on the glitching error selection, its a total unknown, but its outside the bounds of what you are supposed to select. You can tell that much. Still you have the points for it. Moving the flashing cursor to the appropriate section comes intuitively, and with a mental "enter" and find yourself back at the primary list, with the Error message even more heavily glitched. You dont have enough points for it, but do for a quick boost to size and claws. With all the appropriate entries made, you mentally hit enter again, and the list fades from view. You awake to a large bird head rummaging around in your Nest. The squawking bastard attempts to bite you several times before you simply reach out with your claw and neatly pinch it's feathery head from it's neck. There. Fuck you seagull.

You drag the seagull down into the pit, muffled noises you are unfamiliar with emanate around you. Powerful chunking noises resound as you pull the bird apart and process it into your little crab mouth. That was a good breakfast. You must be larger because your pit is now ruined again.

Erupting from the loose sand, you look around at the world around you. Oh holy shit! You have a hud! Fucking-A! Looking around you, you can get a reticule around various animals and there's even informatics about yourself. Looking down at your claws, they are Metallic, and you spot exposed machinery here and there. Ok. Weird. but cool. No weirder than being a crab. Speaking of which, you seem to be about the size of a coconut, a small coconut. Not too far away are seagulls, and a little further is the tidepool where you murdered your first paramour.

Around you confused seagulls squawk and occasionally peck at your metallic exoskeleton leaving small scratches on it's surface. Ahead of you the beach stretches out endlessly. To your left is a mangrove forest, and to your right is the ocean.

Tiny hydraulic legs carry you forward into the lush mangrove forest. Sandy soil quickly turns into a blanket of rotting leaves and biological mulch. You experimentally snap your claw a few times; it whines and hisses. This is all so weird, but its not like any afterlife you ever heard of. Your thoughts are interrupted by a a pack of crabs scuttling out of some nearby undergrowth. They appear to be coconut crabs as well, but do not like your appearance, and seem to be bigger than you by a little. You however are at least partially metal and maybe smarter than a regular crab?

You dash forward at a great velocity, your hud briefly flashes a warning for something before you grab the smallest crab of the trio around the head and crush it with unrepentant violence. A small puff of steam vents of out of your mouth, but your victory is short lived as the two larger crabs begin their deadly string of pinches against you. Metal groans under their pressure.

Something inside you whines as a capacitor charges, and you lunge your little crab claw out like a club, knocking one assailant away while you set to work dismembering the other crab in a flurry of hydraulic assisted pinches. Soon all that is left is crab ceviche, sans the lime juice. or onions, chilies, or anything else. Ok, you just made a pile of semi cubed flesh from a once living creature, and now really miss eating real food.

the other crab is retreating from you, its transparent hemolymph leaking out onto the musty forest floor. Your hud is flashing the outline of a crab (you) with various components colored in green, red or yellow. It would seem your super structure has taken a bit of a hit.

You chow down on the two dead crabs as their companion retreats. You watch it shuffle into the underbrush, defeated, and if it is capable of feeling shame, it does...it probably is shamed. You will not allow its emotional limitations detract from your perceived glory of killing two coconut crabs. Yes, you are triumphant and powerful. And pretty banged up. Also how the hell are you eating, are you crab or machine? Robocrab?

What you really want is to review that strange upgrade menu, and with a little bit of effort you blank out of this world and back to the black screen with the glowing green text. Some things have changed to be sure. Its...kind of the same, but not really. The friendly green text is now replaced with a faded amber phosphor, with heavy scan lines. It seems almost industrial. The interface beyond that is the same, so you quickly cascade open the menus available.

You lock your choices in and finalize. When you come to you notice a few things.

There are rubber like gaskets and "boots" around your joints. The thin lines around your shell seem to be much better fitted together and OH FUCK HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?! Ok. this is new. everything has been new, but it seems your eye stalks have some reach on them now, and you are able to extend them...oh the length of your body. Weird. useful. but weird. Getting a near isometric view of yourself is cool, and reminds you of better times with old cRPGs. You have some sort of dark grey rubberized sheeting layered over a lot of your "shell" along with bits of bright mylar like material. Small sparks are emitting from where you took damage with the rents visibly mending.

All in all, you think it looks pretty cool, but despite your mechanical nature you feel HUNGRY.

You rummage through the undergrowth, clipping away with your claws as your optics scan ahead. You pick up several interesting trails, one of them is the injured coconut crab. There are also some very obvious and large human sized footprints...from a human! Lastly you spot fragments of metal.

>>

>>2754305
You follow along the path of the metal, picking up bits of the shiny substance from the rich black soil. Each bit shoved into your mouth is processed by unseen cutting wheels and saws, whining away as you spew the occasional spark. Small insects skitter away from you, their survival benefited by your current predisposition for eating the ferrous material. Its weird that it hasn't rusted yet. Hmm. By chance you try to spit sparks again, and do so with greater volume. Cool. This is probably useful.

>Gained: Spark Spray; spew a shower of sparks from your mouth with the chance to blind or harm an enemy. Caution: Sparks may cause fire.

The trail eventually goes cold, but you discover why: Ahead is your quarry, in a clearing surrounded by small...small monkeys. Pygmy marmosets. You remember your sister used to want one for a pet. Choke back the pain. You are a kick ass cyber crab now. Cybercrabs do not cry...

Choking back nothing, especially not tears, you silently stalk forward to the edge of the clearing. The small monkeys are arrayed around a very large Hermit Crab...robot? Like you? It appears to be dead, or deactivated. The little monkeys are no bigger than a redbull can. Ugh that shit always tasted like sweet tarts and bad times, you remember one time when you drank 12 of them back to back like an idiot and wanted to die. Just like the redbull cans, there are 12 monkeys. Surely not a reference to a movie. The little fuckers seem to be equipped with spears and what looks like a matchstick or something on the end.

Surging ahead, your little legs piston and hiss with pneudraulics. A flurry of sand is kicked up as you come hurling out of the forest like a tiny god of wrath. Sparks fly from your mouth and singe the monkeys at a distance causing them to scatter and abandon the fallen MechaCrab. (haha. bit of french wordplay there) Three of the monkeys are unlucky enough to get on the bad end of your pinchers and are promptly dismembered while the rest scatter rushing up into the trees.

Little spears are thrown, some land near you; exploding with a degree of violence you had not expected. Deep pockmarks and pits erupt across your body from the little explosive spears as the tiny bastards rain down hell on you. They are faster than you, but you are more armored than them, and they have limited spears...hopefully.

Looking up to the treetops, your rational mind takes hold. They are fast, far up, and you are a crab. Fuck this. Scuttling over to the MechaCrab you quickly take hold of it and expertly drag it towards the tree line in a snaking twisting motion, avoiding spears and managing to fully collect the tiny corpses of the fallen monkey warriors. The weighty metallic body of your fallen prize does not slow you down as it carves a path in the sandy undergrowth of the mangrove forest.

The shrikes and indignity of your tiny foes soon fades as louder screeches replace them; the little monkeys are driven off by large bats, and by driven off, they are brutally captured and killed in flight after putting up an honorable fight. Several bats eat explosive spears and fall crashing to the jungle floor below, as you bear silent witness to it from the safety of your impromptu underbrush dwelling. Your mechanized stomach rumbles.

Thats a lot of fucking bats, you pontificate. The meat will probably still be there when you are done with your thing, which is what you will do now. Taking a moment to gaze at your steely meal, a thought comes to your mind. This Hermit crab is old. It peaked out at only a slightly larger and heavier size than you are now. Clearly the Coconut crab is the superior species. The crab master race if you will.

You end up eating the monkey corpses anyway, which is just as good because it gives you a moment to look over the fallen crab. It is much more heavily built than you, and made of different technology. *SNAP* you cut into it's claws and legs, wires and fluid spilling out like spaghetti from your pockets. Corroded metals and scrap, with some sort of adorable mini gun popping out of it's shell, broken and limp. *CRUNCH* That shell though. That is tough. Heavy too. Most of the daylight hours are spent ripping apart and consuming the sturdily built MechaCrab. You find yourself tired again, too tired to stay awake. Curling up into the soft detritus of the forest, you go into standby mode and are greeted by the upgrade menu.

Well...This is new, these are not the old choices.

As you wake up, you feel HEAVY. Once shiny metal is now salt pitted and matte. Crust rimes around your environmental seals as you look at a truly massive claw, You damn near have to drag the thing. How do fiddler crabs make this look easy? Eye stalks rotating about you look over the rest of your body. Your body is now covered by a thick series of plates. Its not a true shell like the hermit crab, but it certainly is an improvement over your thin metallic carapace. Rusted red, you look the part. The final detail is a cruel looking if somewhat tiny minigun and integrated ammo canister sitting just over your right "shoulder". 3 tiny barrels with a triangular flash cage menace the world as you spin it around on loud servos, cutting down a fluttering butterfly in the prime of it's life. This is fucking sweet. Your hud shows a minor reduction in ammunition...as the moments pass it slowly begins to tick up in number. Regenerating ammo. Super Sweet.

Alone in the black, the only choice is MechaCrab: C0rrp|_|t3d Dat@. You try to run, but have no body. The text glitches and tears, coming closer and closer....How nightmarish.

Waking up you feel HOT. Your primary claws look like heat blackened steel, brilliant fire blues sporting further up your arm. Then you realize, you have twin flamethrowers on each claw. Snaking pipes run up and into your shell. Oh yes. yes.
--
You are now the size of a cantaloupe, and equipped with appropriately sized flamethrowers, minigun, and an impressively large wrecking claw, and the ability to spit sparks. On the downsize, in the time you were down, it would seem all your dead bats were eaten by something else.

Raising your claws high to the sky you unleash the full wrath of your tiny minigun as you sweep it through the treetops as if to say "COME ON! DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!" The small simians, not expecting this suffer casualties, the previously metallic crab is now a metallic crab of death incarnate. Small bodies rain down, softly thumping against the jungle floor as others run away in fear.

Scuttling up to eat your prizes, you realize something. They are wearing tiny clothes, and have...tiny guns. One of little guys crawls along, dragging limp legs before he rolls over at you. A little tube no bigger than a McDonald's straw is clutched in it's hands as it fires off a tiny RPG. The unexpected attack smashes into your face, blowing off an eye. Like an angry crab Prometheus you simply spew flames from claws, the shrieks of the creature short lived.

Its a strange thing, this forest. As you press further into the monkey's territory, trees are spotted with small huts who's windows slam shut. Curious faces of children are pulled in by fearful parents. As they should be. Death has arrived. maybe? probably. You are still feeling this out. There are strange little trails that gradually give way to tiny paved roads. with small vehicles. You always wanted to be Godzilla as a kid, now you are Ebara. or close enough. Fuck that Prawn. You are your own Kaiju. If a very small one.

It would seem this is the sticks. As you wander on through a tiny downtown complete with adorable diner; which you crush, you stop to feed on the rubble. Already your eye is starting to repair. From the other eye stalk you see slivers of tiny copper wiring poke through. hmm. This place is interesting, with many things to eat. A few of the tiny creatures run about, clutching children or belongings, fleeing for their lives.

Behold. Your enemies, the sapient finger monkeys.
>>2754770
>>2754771
You continue to rip apart the scale model sized gas station. Girders and fuel pumps are greedily consumed, sparks flying out before a small explosion engulfs you in fire and billowing black smoke. The locals cheer before immediate despair sets in. You are Injured but it is but a setback, if you had purchased that environmental hazard this fire would be no biggie. Still. Your systems are hardened, and the damage is superficial. You sup at flaming gasoline like a mother's milk; internal repair systems compensating for damage.

Soon you wade out of the pool of fire, like a crabby demon exiting a portal from crab hell. Little monkey people scream and point, while a valiant monkey sheriff and his deputies fire at you ineffectually. Letting loose a gout of flame that consumes the little town's main street, the defenders fall.

You spend the next hour incinerating and ripping apart the town, eating corpses and structure alike, the work is hard, and soon you feel weary. It is time to slumber, perchance to dream. or upgrade. upgrade is good. As you start to dig a basketball sized pit in the town center, you notice a tiny helicopter shooting at you, there are more in the distance.

You make out a sheriff's star as it crashes into the ground, its crew engulfed in the subsequent fireball. Soon what are obviously newcopters swarm above you, agile pilots evade most of your fury, and soon you are out of ammunition. A few more helicopters downed, they remind you almost of old GI-Joe toys. You feel a momentary pang of regret for this, but then remember the fuzzy little fucks started it. Digging down into the black soil of the forest, you are soon covered, and have blotted out the light. Pushing yourself into slumber, you are greeted by another unfamiliar menu.

As you rip up from the damp earth, you realize two things. It is night,and you are surrounded by tiny little tanks about half your size, with a group of helicopters flying overhead.

Your damaged eye is fully regenerated, and on the back of your wrecking claw are a series of little holes about the size of pencil erasers, about 10 in all.

A small barrier is erected around your pit, and a few tiny cars with tiny monkeys are shouting at you through a loudspeaker. No one has shot you yet.

My emotions...vs DC24 vs 95
---
For a long moment you stand there, watching the emotions play over their faces. Despair and anger, hope, frustration. You Snap your claws rhythmically in thought, the analogue of tapping fingers. They attempt to communicate with you in vein, faithfully emulating the beat back at you. In that last crystalline moment of silence you expend all your missiles, spew fire and sparks, and unleash a torrent of minigun fire. The devistation washes out ahead of you, behind you, all around. In the crimson glow of fire and death the tracer fire of your minigun cuts into the sky like a serpent of light. As your ammo counter reaches zero, the burning carcasses of mangled helicopters fall to the ground, adding to the total ruination of the small town. The illusion of your size is momentarily broken as you look up to see the mangrove canopy. You could consume the wrecked military vehicles, or march onward towards the tiny monkey highway.

Who's a hungry crab? You are. The next few hours are spent consuming the town, the wrecked military vehicles and even the infrastructure underneath it. Despite packing it all away, most of it seems to just vanish into your mass, your hunger unabated.
>+1 point

While you were consuming the town, the local highway was cleared of civilians and the monkey military has been busily setting up a new line of defense. It's been hard gauging their level of technology, but it seems to be based around the 1960s or so. Still, there is an entire race of small monkeys that will not genocide themselves. That much is for sure.

You almost feel bad for the defenders. The city they seek to protect is yours for the taking as you simply go around their kill zone. Even for a powerful crab like you, that might have been fatal; but you are not a stupid beast. No. You are a NEET, who is a crab, who had sex, sort of! Fuck everyone!

The highway is devoid of activity, but just down the way you see the hints of what could generously be called sky scraper. Stretching 12 feet tall and 4 feet wide, it is the first of several dozen that dot the miniature monkey metropolis. If you could dig in there, they wouldn't be able to root you out easily. oh no. oh yes. The faster moving vehicles behind you, small jeeps and helicopters, attempt to slow you down. They are simply cut down by your minigun as you dont even deign to face them. Your weight and claws ruin the highway, turning it into an endless tank trap to which their heavier vehicles resort to taking gradually more and more ineffective potshots at you. Soon you are upon the city limits, and how bright it glows. Little people scream and run in terror.

And just like that you begin the ruination of about 200 square feet. Walking down the main street you liberally torch each building you pass at the ground level, feet punch holes into the street and sewers below. Somewhere along the line you hit a gas main and the real fun starts as manhole covers launch into the sky followed by beautiful gouts of flame. You look up to the canopy above you and manage to see a few stars through the foliage. If only you could be there...An idea strikes you as you climb the biggest building in the city. Claws and feet punchture into the structure, mangling its side while ultra thin glass falls down like crystal snow. Below you tides of the local denizens riot and seek to escape their urban death trap. You always were afraid of cities, you knew their existence was fragile, but on /pol/ they called you a fly over blue collar fag. Jokes on them, you never had a job! The climb takes several minutes, and you are somehow winded; but all the same here you are. Atop the highest building in the city. Roughly 20 feet up. Pretty impressive view. you snap your claws in idle thought before spewing arcs of flames down onto the buildings and population below. A sense of giddy madness overtakes you, something very primal likes this. As minutes pass by the dozen, you see several bursts of dirt within the city, a few buildings topple, and Challengers have appeared. (rolling for defense forces)

You fire your entire supply of missiles in a massacre of sorts, the offending dirt cloud explodes once more, and surely whatever was inside is dead. But it is not.

It is pic related, and apparently it specializes in missile warfare. (your roll did not beat mine.)

In response to your flurry of missiles, it releases a deluge of missiles that are now streaming towards you at high speed. Its fury of response makes yours seem pale in comparison.

You were not agile, and you were not meant to escape the swarm of missiles like you did; but somewhere deep in your crabby mind an idea did form. You would slide down the side of the building to which the missiles were NOT coming from like 1 smart boi...and smart you were. As the building got peppered from an impressive assault, you shredded the side of the building in your escape, carving a furrow in the glass and steel. From this angle you manage to get a good view of the city and in the distance see yet another Mecha Crab coming in for battle.

This is getting a bit hazardous, but at least that one does not seem to be a ranged combatant like missile crab. As you hit the street level you make a quick decision to burrow into the base of the massive building, and spend your points. The darkness overtakes you and the ever mutating option menu presents it's latest offerings like the a devil in a suit.

What went into the building is smaller than what explodes out of it. Almost twice your prior size, you are a clanking, grinding pile of heavy armor, industrial machinery, and destructive potential. Your minigun now sports long barrels and a bigger ammunition pool for extended bursts of brrrt at a longer range. Compared to you, the other two robots are crablets, and like all crablets, they must die.

>>2755286
<this is your fault>
Soaring overhead, as if to mock your robust and powerfully built frame which is not overweight at all...is another fucking mecha crab. It seems the tiny monkey self defense forces were prepared for this day. Immediatly it tests your armor with a long blast of laser. Your back glows red from the build up of heat, but due to a wise choice of upgrading armor and survivability, the damage is superficial, leaving a shallow furrow in place of a grievous rent. Alright. Fuck these guys.

You fire off a salvo of seeker missiles, the white exhaust plumes twisting about as guided weapons avoid each other in a beautiful display of aerobatics and death. The impacts ripple across your foe's shield as it shimmers and finally winks out. Gathering energy takes the form of orange particles near the flying mech's mouth as it spread's its crabby arms like an avenging angel.

Not willing to take its judgement like a bitch, you fire the minigun into the high tech polymer's and alloys of it's body. Tungsten tipped tracer rounds viciously chew into the machine but not with enough voracity to stop it from firing. The beam it hits you with would have been worse if not for the fact that it seems to be loosing flight control. The orange beam drunkenly slices through your armor, and across your smaller claw, disabling it. (melee down) Looking at yourself, the damage is pretty grievous where you were hit, bits of molten steel drip freely from your frame.

The flight crab slams into a building, and then hits the street before staggering to it's feet. Blue coolant drips from it's ruined underbelly as it raises it's little claws in feeble defense. You hear the clicking feet of another approaching crab.

Exhibiting some forethought you scuttle around the stricken crab as it slashes at your armor with vicious pinches and close range burst lasers. Flashes of blue light, and the stench of ozone fill the air, but it might as well be an angry child fighting their parent, if their parent was a mechanical crab determined to murder them. How horrible. The smaller crab is no match for you as your claw wraps around the rear of it's shell in a familiar embrace. Lightweight polymers and alloys shear in half as you crush down with your wrecker claw. Two more snips and some internal explosions on the flight crab's part, and there is now a bisected machine at your pointy feet. During the conflict, the missile crab kept trying to get a bead on you but was unable. Your self repair systems work in overtime trying to mend the damage to your form as you ooze various fluids and spark unhappily. None the less, you rev angrily at the newcomer, snapping claws and stomping feet which punch holes into the concrete.

You fire out a barrage of highly erotic bullets from your minigun, hosing down the the offending missile crab with lead bukkake. It recoils in disgust, or perhaps because you blew up one of it's launchers and it is now spewing fire and smoke from half it's chassis. No doubt some of the crew died in that blast if it had any. Still, it puts up a valiant retaliatory effort, firing off a salvo of missiles that cores out the missile magazine and flamethrower on your wrecker claw. The mangled superstructure still holds, and is suitable for demolition work. You put it to the task and rip off missile crab's big arm, then slap it's remaining launch pod. Without missiles it does not explode, but it is ruined. The smaller hydraulic arm of your enemy closes around a rear leg and crushes it. Thankfully you have more.

You clamp onto the crab with your wrecker, and hold your gimp'ed secondary claw to it's "face". While the pincher mechanism is broken, you still have a double barreled flamethrower which works quite well. As you pry open the top shell from bottom, you spot the panicked crew inside attempting to escape, some dragging the injured before dropping them to run. None survive. Your flames fill the compartment, lapping hungrily at the insides. The self defense force's finest have been laid low and as the smoke clears, charred skeletons are all that remain.

Somewhere out there is their greatest champion, a true and worthy foe.

You decide to have a cozy all you can eat crabfest as you haul the wrecked hulks of the mechacrabs into a ruined building. Not taking chances, you collapse the from behind you. Self repair systems gradually bring your other claw back online and internal damage is slowly repaired as you busy yourself with eating. Muffled explosions can be heard outside, but it is not your concern...yet. Whatever is going on out there sounds like a war. The metals of the missile crab were quite fantastic, flexible, yet crunchy. Flight crab was a curiously light meal. Blinking into sleep, you meet the upgrade menu once more.

No. It just makes you lighter, and thus more agile.
>>2755703
Eschewing flight, shields, exotic weapons, or a missile massacre, you have opted for survivability and speed. When you awake, your entire body seems to have been infused with matte chrome along with soft orange and off white lights. The damage to your surface repaired as the last of snaking tendrils retract back into your carapace. your formerly pointy feet end in robust, if crude thrusters while your once adorable minigun has shifted to the middle of your back. Its a good thing you opted to get lighter, because this sucker is pretty big now. 7 Barrels and a larger projectile; its hard to miss that, or miss with it.
---
Your two points remaining.
---
You slowly work your way out of the rubble, only to be greeted by a MechaCrab that is about twice your size. It seems during nap-time they called in reinforcements. The 4 large optics of the crab focus on you before it promptly PUNCHES you in the face. You crash through the building you just exited, and come out the other side. There is a sizable dent on your head, and your vision is spinning. Fuck, that was rough. Using your thrusters instinctively, you flip over onto your feet and brace yourself. *pingping* wat? *pingping* it seems that you are under assault from the little monkey ground defense forces. Their weapons are ineffective, but adorable.

You feel pumped, and take to the skies! Your thrusters belch fourth flame and smoke, and with a little assistance from your legs you manage to jump. Fuck. You can't fly. You sorta hop. Hopping for a crab is a pretty big accomplishment though. You mentally give yourself a sarcastic cheer. Modifying your awesome plan a bit, you opt to fire your entire volume of missiles through the freshly carved tunnel going through the building in front of you; courtesy of your flying body. The sound and fury is intense, and a thick fog of smoke obscures the exit, likely if you cannot see, neither can it.

Scuttling through, it would appear you were very wrong, and those great big eyes can see quite well across various spectrums. You are rewarded with two vicious blows to the top of your body, damaging your shiny new minigun which is rendered inoperable for the moment. Mildly panicking you retreat into the building once more, before your situation gets a bit worse. The other mechacrab has found you, and is small enough to work its way inside the building. Your advanced scanners manage to pick out an auto turret, two large missiles that could really fuck you up, and an even larger single dumb fire rocket that may be a one hit kill. Not to exclude two very nasty wrecking claws. Today is not your day.

The other crab is not like you, it has a crew of tiny monkey people with thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, control sticks and a mission to save their people.

You. You just wanna fuck shit up. Pulling your claws back into a crude approximation of a chambered punch, you let loose with your upgraded flamethrowers. Hungry blue flames spew out from the improved guide nozzles, the fire clearly much hotter than before. Even before it hits the enemy crab it is already lightly etching and spalling the concrete within the building. The burning alight fuel hits the mech, and suddenly it is flailing, limbs moving erratically and independently. Something goes catastrophically wrong for the Hostile crab and the missiles detonate within the chassis, blowing it to smithereens, kicking you out of the building like a softball from a potatogun. Laying upside down and slightly banged up, the final and most powerful MechCrab, looks upon you with what could be considered scarcely contained disgust.

Not one to be easily defeated, as it raises up its claw you spew out a shower of glowing metallic cinders and sparks. Haha bitch! Spark Breath! The larger crab backhands..backclaws..you and sends you skipping down the street like a stone across a lake. Your hud flashes numerous warnings. Your minigun valiantly manages to fire off a few rounds before going back to being jammed, but they skip off it's glossly shell, leaving no damage. You try to snap at it but are rewarded with another powerful SLAP. Shit is not looking good right now man. You remember playing the old playstation2 god of war games on your first gen PS3. Those were so cash as fuck, and it gives you an idea.

Beaten but not broken. Ok kinda broken too, but you've had worse ass beatings in your life, like that time a meteor crushed your body and you woke up reincarnated as fucking crab. You always thought the phrase HAM was fucking stupid, but its time to go hard as a motherfucker, you'll give him the whole ham sandwich. Clenching your claws does not feel as cool as making a fist, but you boost up into the air, an impressive six whole feet, and come slamming down on top of your better, who does not at all take kindly to that.

Gripping onto it's head with your wrecker, you dedicate yourself to slapping away it's powerful striking claws while attempting to drill through this nearly damn near impenetrable shell it has with your repair cables. The thing bucks and slams around into the already beaten and worn building at the center of the city. The entire structure wobbles with an unhappy groan and begins to fall towards you.

As you attempt to jettison yourself from the angry mecha crab who is clearly the chad to your virgin, you are snared! Acting quickly to cut off your leg like a fucking he-man and dash away moments before the building crushes everything under it. You almost regret having a b-team quality QM for your quest, as this could have been more descriptive. something like "As the behemoth thrashed around the street, slamming into the rocking building and crushing tiny cars underfoot you held for for sweet fucking life, washing flames over it's optics and batting away angry claws that would seek to give you new metallic orifices and then fist them. At the sky scraper gave way, you tried to use your thrusters to escape, but it was for not. The asshole caught you, a hateful crew of tiny simians determined to take you to hell with them. However, crabby instincts kick in and you just cut off the leg it's holding onto. Blasting free as what would appear to be several tons of scale skyscraper flashes by you, falling in a way no building that size should. like a tree." yeah. that would have been better.

As you settle down, the real destruction begins, the falling building set off a chain reaction of fires and blackouts across the city. Waiting around, snapping your claws anxiously it seems there are no other contenders, just panicked survivors avoiding your angry gaze as you walk amongst the ruins like a titan of old.

>Search for the fallen robots and eat them.

You spend several hours sifting through the rubble with your claws, getting really good at using the points to do fine movement and manipulation. Weird. You were always bad with chopsticks, if you ever get ...nah..you aren't even sure if you want to go back. Regardless, you eventually find the defeated hulks of your prior enemies. The crew of the giant melee bot survived being buried alive, that thing was sturdy. What they did not survive was you eating them alive like sardines from a can. On some level you ponder if this is like cannibalism, or is it wrong to eat sapient life forms, or if they are just garbage creatures and deserve this? Somewhere in there is a question of if humor and art has a duty to be responsible less it devalue human life, race, and identity as it hides behind the aegis of "creative freedom." Really complex social shit right there. You decide that is stupid and not really pertinent in a practical situation thus going back to eating charred flesh and steel.

Rolling through your selections you mull the choices over, you could do a balanced upgrade, or even go for raw size and armor. For as much as you like to pinch and all, getting hit really sucks. Getting shot sucks too, and really, out of all your foes today Missile crab was the biggest threat, and the big missiles on that MechCrab were pretty dangerous. If you play it safe for a bit this could be the one to really pay of.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LjN3UclYzU&feature=youtu.be

You select a 4 stack of missile upgrades from the bonus menu, and then roll over to missiles uptier three times. Some hardening rounds out the choice and will hopefully help you from going up like a munitions dump in mercenaries 2. Yeah. that was an underrated game. You mentally shrug, so far everythings been a little crazy. Might as well go full in.

Physically your wrecking claw has gotten a bit more bulbous on the upper claw portion, housing what looks to be a hundred micro missiles.

You were always a Fa/tg/uy. Thinking back to DoW, DoW2, those were good times. You declare Exterminatus on this city, and its abominable inhabitants. Releasing the entirety of your weapons all at once, still ever close to the city center. What starts out as a ring of black fire and smoke turns into a magnificent display for the short lived miniature monkeys who dared to make war upon you. Hundreds of thermobaric explosions ripple across the city like a fast forward blooming of springtime flowers. Bodies, concrete, and twisted metal fly up and fall down into the growing conflagration. You notice several small airplanes trying to flee, taking off from an airport on the distance and cut them down with your minigun.

Smoke still venting from numerous exhaust ports, coiling around and wreathing you like a crustacean specter of death, you look over the devastation that is so complete and total. All that stands now are broken spires of rebar, and when you are done feeding, even they will not remain.

You are Crab, and you will bring this world to it's knees...and some day, to whatever diety of this fucked up hell hole who will listen, you mark your words, bubbling and snapping...you will know what a boob feels like.
