//------------------------------// // Commercial Break Three // Story: EQG: Sword Art Online - Aincrad // by Mindrop //------------------------------// Wow! So much has happened since the last commercial break. Doombunny broke the rules of the guild and dangerously went out training, alone. Knightstar stepped away from the guild, but is finally back. The Wondercolts helped Sasha the kids on the First Floor. Bladescape had a second run in with Laughing Coffin, and this time took a prisoner, Kurayaro. The Wondercolts are no longer 11 members, and they even own their own castle! This is going to be quite a bit of info to follow. The only thing that hasn’t changed is what everyone is wearing. Except Kiefer.  The layout is as follows: Main Characters New Officers New Males New Girls Soccer Teams Blucon Yelcon MAIN CHARACTERS: Bladescape (SS): Lvl 83 – 16250 HP Rank: Kaisho - Commander of the Military Two-Handed Sword – Max Search – Max Weapon Defense – Max Leather Armor – Max First Aid – Yes Battle Regeneration –  Max – 1000 points every 10 seconds Sprint – 862/1000 Acrobatics – 468/1000  Blade Throwing – 513/1000 Extended Weight Carry – 428/1000 Greatsword: – 367/1000 Weapon: Two Handed Sword - Harmonic Salvation Armor: Dagannoth Leather Full Plate Armor - Blue with Gold Accents - Made by Ashley Helmet: Hair Tie and Pin made by Ashley – Hair is worn up. Ring #1: Strength +16 Ring #2: Defense +16 Earring: Agility +10 Earring: Agility +10 Necklace: Sunset’s Geode made by Diemond - Skill Delay Reduction by 10% Bladescape’s Dagannoth Leather Plate Armor is blue with gold accents and hardware. The chest features a gold stitched horsehead on it. The leather has been prepared and conditioned after it was hardened so that it has a shine to it, mimicking metal armor. The design of each plate also looks like a set of full metal armor, without the weight involved. Because the plates are made from Dagannoth, it is one of the strongest sets of armor available in SAO. The only piece missing from the medieval style armor is a helmet. In its place are a tie and pin, which Ashley made so that her hair stays up and out of her way in battle, but still looks regal before, during, and after battle. The cloak is pinned out wide to concealed pinning points in between the plates. The cloak was equipped with a leather piece that opened it slightly so she could insert her sword onto the sheath on her back. Ashley had made it with a shiny fabric and heavy gold fringe. The gold horse head was seamless with the blue fabric. Harmonic Salvation is a two handed longsword that is slate grey. The sword is wrapped in a leather sheath that matches the Wondercolts’ blue color, while the handle is wrapped in golden leather. It was also set with a yellow gemstone in the hilt and a blue one as the pommel.  Thunderborne (RBD): Lvl 75 – 11295 HP Rank: Shicho - Leading Private Rapier – Max Sprint – Max Acrobatics – Max Armor Pierce – Max First Aid – Yes Battle Regeneration – 700/1000 – 500 points every 10 seconds Leather Armor – 725/1000 Weapon Defense – 519/1000 Extended Weight Carry – 234/1000 Search – 342/1000 Weapon: Rapier – Dragon’s Tooth Armor: Blue Leather Jacket made by Diemond Gloves: Yellow leather half finger gloves with reinforced knuckles made by Diemond Boots: Blue leather riding boots with yellow metal accents – made by Diemond Belt: Blue leather sam belt with shiny brass horse head buckle on the chest - made by Diemond Helmet: Hair Tie – Ponytail Ring #1: Night Sight Ring #2: Critical Attack Chance +10% Earring: Defense +6 Earring: Defense +6 Necklace: Rainbow Dash’s Geode made by Diemond - Speed +10 Thunderborne wears a blue leather jacket over a yellow shirt. Thunderborne's chest has a leather plate with their horse head stitched on. The main eye catching feature is the blue leather Sam Belt, stitched in gold, to hold down the jacket and anchor Thunderborne’s rapier to her side. The belt’s strap is anchored on her chest by a shiny brass, horse head buckle. There is plenty of trim on the jacket, which are paired with tall riding boots that had yellow metal accents and trim. As she walks, particularly on stone or hard surfaces, her heels click with a crystal clacK. She wears a ponytail instead of a helmet and unlike most of the Wondercolts, she does not wear a cloak. She also wears yellow half fingered gloves with the knuckles reinforced. Dragon’s Tooth is a black rapier with an ivory blade. It was dropped by the King Black Dragon as one of the Last Attack Bonus items, which Bladescape received. She gave it to Thunderborne since Azure Aculeus had been maxed for a while as was in need of being replaced.   Backbreaker (AJ): Lvl 78 – 15750 HP Rank: Issa - Colonel Heavy Shield – Max One-Handed War Hammer – Max Extended Weight Carry – Max Heavy Metal Armor – Max First Aid – Yes Battle Regeneration – 761/1000 – 500 points every 10 seconds Fishing – 635/1000 Search – 562/1000 Martial Arts – 422/1000 Acrobatics – 169/1000 Weapon: Warhammer – Guard Smasher Shield: Floating Bulwark Armor: Plate of Veracity Gloves: Heavy Plate Gloves made by Diemond Boots: Heavy Plate Boots made by Diemond Helmet: Sallet Ring #1: Health +250 Ring #2: Agility +8 Earring: Speed +6 Earring: Speed +6 Necklace: Applejack’s Geode made by Diemond - Strength +12 The Plate of Veracity is an ornate chest piece of heavy plate armor which stands at an odd contrast to Backbreaker’s Iron Bulwark. Diemond matched the rest of her armor to the style of the ornate plate. Backbreaker’s right pauldron has a flare to protect her head as it rises above her shield. On it, is their horse head symbol. Her right gauntlet is larger and thicker than her left. It was designed to maximize her attack with martial arts and defense while using her hammer. Her cloak covered her shoulders and flowed out off her back. It was the same blue, trimmed in gold with their symbol on the back.  Guard Smasher is an unadorned warhammer of simple design. The pick is strong and the hammer looks normal. On the face of it is not the normal checkered hammer head. An apple is cut into the face of the head a fraction. Backbreaker keeps it painted red. AFCK (PP): Lvl 75 – 12295 HP Rank: Itamae - Head Chef Two-Handed Axe – Max Parry – Max Cooking – Max Weapon Defense – Max Martial Arts – Max First Aid – Yes Battle Regeneration – 720/1000 – 500 points every 10 seconds Light Metal Armor – 635/1000 Blade Throwing – 589/1000 Musical Instrument – 515/1000 Weapon: Two Handed Axe – Geode Cleaver  Armor: Blue scale armor with golden accent scales. A shoulder cover with armored sleeves sits over the scale armor. Each shoulder has the Wondercolts’ horse head stitched on it. The helmet looks like a horse head and includes a yellow mane off the top. Ring #1: Search Booster Ring #2: Nightsight Earring: Critical Attack +7% Earring: Attack +8 Necklace: Pinkie Pie’s Geode made by Diemond - Agility +8 Basic shirt of scale armor, with strong leather pants colored yellow. Tactfully throughout the blue scales was a yellow one. Over the scales armor shirt was a shoulder cover that connected to their armored sleeves. On each of their shoulders was stitched the Wondercolt symbol. The helmet looked like a horse and included a gold mane. Her gloves are thick, blue leather and her boots were blue, with yellow laces on the outside, not on the face. Around her neck she has a narrow blue cloak trimmed in gold and with their symbol on it.  Diemond (R): Lvl 75 – 16550 HP Rank: Jun-i - Armorer  Heavy Shield – Max Mace – Max First Aid – Yes Battle Regeneration – 680/1000 – 500 points every 10 seconds Heavy Metal Armor – 790/1000 Tailoring – Max Light Metal Armor Forging – Max Heavy Metal Armor Forging – Max Jewelry Making – 513/1000 Extended Weight Carry – 254/1000 Weapon: Flanged Mace - Radiant Beauty Shield: Heavy Warrior Shield with Horsehead riveted on. Armor: Blue Warrior Plate Armor mimicking her “arrowhead” shield. Riveted onto the chest is their Horsehead. The rest of the armor is standard heavy armor with gold accents. Helmet: Pappenheim Ring #1: Speed +12 Ring #2: Health +1000 Earring: Defense +5 Earring: Defense +5 Necklace: Rarity’s Geode made by Diemond - Skill Delay Reduction by 10% Diemond’s blue chest plate matches her blue arrowhead style shield. It looks heavier than Backbreaker’s armor. The whole armor is Wondercolt blue, with gold filigree and gilding. However, it is fine gilding meaning Diemond mostly looks like a heavy set of blue plate armor. She has the least amount of yellow on her armor, leaving that to her mace like an accent piece. The chest appeared to be one piece in the same arrowhead design. Riveted on her chest and shield face was a blue backed yellow horse head. Her Pappenheim Helmet mimicked a horse head as much as possible. She wears the standard Wondercolt Heavy Armor cloak.   Radiant Beauty is a yellow steel flanged mace with multiple protrusions so close together they almost make it a full head. The shape of the flanges are smooth, symmetrical lines that come to a strong point to help pierce armor or break through solid objects. Doombunny (FS): Lvl 78 – 15850 HP One-Handed Dagger – Max First Aid – Yes Hide – Max Search – Max Listening – Max Battle Regeneration – 850/1000 – 600 points every 10 seconds Fighting Spirit – Max Familiar Communication (Colorra) – Max Drug Mixing – 936/1000 Reveal – 490/1000 Fencer: – 398/1000 Weapons: Daggers - Mourning Protector, Shadowsong (Paralysis), Endbringer (Poisoned) Shield: None Armor: Yellow Silverthread dress and Blue leather jacket. Blue shoulder boards for Colorra to better stay perched on. Everything is kept down with a thin blue belt. Short blue boots and fingerless gloves finish the look. Helmet: Blue Headband Ring #1: Beast Tamer’s Charms - Familiar Mirror - Ruby Wolf’s Paw Ring  Ring #2: Speed +5 Earring: Agility Canine Tooth +10 - Beast Tamer’s Charm Earring Earring: Nightvision Canine Tooth - Beast Tamer’s Charm Earring Necklace: Fluttershy’s Geode made by Diemond - Defense +8 Doombunny wears a cute set of leather equipment, designed to help her carry all three blades and Colorra. It revolves around blue leggings under a long, yellow Silverthread dress with a blue short armored jacket with long sleeves. The jacket hides her pouches for everything she needs. Colorra has shoulder pads above the jacket to better ride on. The thin blue belt that keeps her skirt down also keeps her weapons in place. On her left hip is her regular blade, in its blue sheath. The yellow paralyzing blade is at the small of her black. Off her right hip is her pink dagger, the poison one. The blue jacket hides her daggers well.  Doombunny also wears a blue headband to keep her hair in place, blue boots that only cover her ankles, and blue Silverthread fingerless gloves. Mourning Protector: The silver blade has a blue painted wooden handle. It is a long, single edged blade which falls at the long side of one handed daggers while still being noticeably shorter than the shortest swords. The knife has no guard and the back side of the blade’s tip has an edge to it. Outside of SAO, Mourning Protector would be classified as a dirk.  Shadowsong: This curved tanto knife is Doombunny’s Yellow colored Paralysis blade. It always has a glossy shine to the blade because the sheath makes sure the blade always is oiled with a strong paralysis agent. Doombunny keeps it at the small of her back because it is the second easiest place for her to drag a weapon.  Endbringer: A bollock dagger, the blade is medium for SAO daggers, and it is a true, double edged dagger designed for stabbing. The black wooden guard has two ovals as a guard to prevent her hand from slipping up onto the blade. The handle is wrapped in pink leather. She wears it on her right hip because it is harder for her to draw it with her right hand. The sheath is also pink. It is her guilty pleasure, the one Fluttershy thing she displays as a Wondercolt. As her favorite color, to be poisoned as strongly as it is, she is acutely aware of what it means to be drawing her pink dagger. Astro (PS): Lvl 75 – 13295 HP Rank: Nisa - Lieutenant Colonel Two-Handed Spear –  Max Purchase Negotiation – Max Armor Pierce – Max Acrobatics – Max First Aid – Yes Light Metal Armor – Max Battle Regeneration – 640/1000 – 500 points every 10 seconds Weapon Defense – 635/1000 Parry – 421/1000 Extended Weight Carry – 212/1000 Weapon: Yari – Dragon Tail (Cross Spear) Armor: Blue Leather Jacket made by Diemond Gloves: Yellow leather half finger gloves with reinforced knuckles made by Diemond Boots: Blue leather riding boots with yellow metal accents – made by Diemond Belt: Blue leather sam belt with shiny brass horse head buckle on the chest - made by Diemond Helmet: Hair Tie – Ponytail Ring #1: Accuracy +3 Ring #2: Attack +5 Earring: Defense +2 Earring: Defense +2 Necklace: Soccer Ball Geode made for Astro by Diemond - Critical Attack +10% Astro wears a blue leather jackets over a yellow shirt. Astro’s blue steel chest plate has a horse head on. The main eye catching feature is the blue leather Sam Belt, stitched in gold, to hold down the jacket. The belt’s strap is anchored on their chest by a shiny brass, horse head buckle. There is plenty of trim on their jackets which are paired with all riding boots that have yellow metal accents and trim. As she walks, particularly on stone or hard surfaces, her heels click with a crystal clack. She wears a ponytail instead of a helmet. Unlike most of the Wondercolts, she does not wear a cloak. She also wears yellow half fingered gloves with the knuckles reinforced. Dragon Tale is a black shafted spear with yellow leather at the typical handholds. The blade is over a foot long, and it is backed by a crossguard where it is attached to the shaft. The guard is not sharp, meaning Dragon Tail is a spear and not a trident. It is often referred to as a cross spear.
