Sat Jun 01 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today, the Robot Masters broke the non-violence agreement for the Duration of the B&C, claiming the life of one repliforcer. The attack happened today just after a Battlebots match between Maverick Wire Sponge, and Repliforcer Hailstorm Couatl, as the Repliforcer was leaving the Neo-Tokyo Stadium, after a loss in Battlebots, and was attacked by the Robot Masters Ballade, Astro Man, Ring Man, Tengu Man and Number Man. The repliforcer was taken out of commission shortly after the attack started, jsut as support from Both the Repliforce and the Maverick Hunters arrived, and drove off the Robot Masters before they could inflict any more casualties. The attacked Repliforcer, Hailstorm Couatl, died two hours later in Light Labs, due to severe trauma.

Colonel appears on the screen, standing behind a podium. He looks like he's barely keeping his anger in check. He speaks slowly and calmly to the camera. "Today, a grave injustice has been dealt. A betrayal of trust and a breach of agreement. Despite the violence that plagues our world, every person on this planet--reploid, human, android, Maverick, Robot Master--agrees and abides by the truce that surrounds the Battle and Chase events. Although it can be difficult for many people to hold their peace, that truce has never been broken. Until now. "Repliforcer Hailstorm Couatl was assaulted today by a large group of Robot Masters, outside the Battlebots arena. The damage they dealt to him was overwhelming; he is beyond repair. The Robot Masters killed a Repliforcer in cold blood. They broke the truce that has been honored by all sides for years. Why did they do this? Because Hailstorm Couatl registered a Battlebot by the name of Hacker Cat, a notorious hacker that recently assaulted the Robot Masters and Mavericks with disturbing imagery. There is and was no definite link between Hailstorm Couatl and Hacker Cat other than this robot, intended as a joke. But for the Robot Masters, it was all they needed." His face grows harder as he speaks. "I call for the disqualification of any and all Robot Masters from Battle and Chase events. They have broken the rules and killed an innocent Repliforcer within the protection of the games. As the Repliforce is honorable, we shall not stoop to the Robot Masters' level and retaliate while the games continue. Rest assured, however, that Repliforce will not let this injustice pass lightly. We look to Battle and Chase as a time to rest from the trials of the world, and we do not look kindly on backstabbing criminals. The Robot Masters will learn once more what it is to feel the wrath of Repliforce." The screen fades back to the GNN anchor. "Strong words from Colonel. Repliforce will be holding a memorial service over the weekend at Resolution Point in memory of Hailstorm Couatl.

"...we bring you now, Doctor Albert Wily." Wily appears on the screen, dressed in his usual sartorial splendor, which is to say labcoat chic. He's standing in his throne room, the perpetual storm than rages over Mt. Skullamanjaro in the background. "Hrmph. I see /no/ fault with the behavior of my children. The Battle and Chase games directly forbid acts of open war, and violence upon game premises. This 'Repliforcer' was NOT on game premises at the time of his unfortunate demise. However, I must warn people that my children take insults to my person quite, quite personally." "The assault upon this Hailstorm Couatl fellow was the direct result of his own foolishness, and the volatile nature of my Robot Masters when they feel my good name is being maligned. I call for the Battle and Chase organization to disregard the overbearing and self-rightous Colonel, and allow the Robot Masters to continue to participate in the scheduled events. Mmmyes, very much so. As for the so-called wrath of Repliforce..." Wily strolls back to his massive gold throne and plops down in the cusions and GRINS at the camera. "For so loud a group, I see little of substance. Hrmph. Let this be a warning to those who would MOCK Wily! It is a dangerous and often FATAL mistake, mmyes.

As this was happening, a giant 'half drunk' General hologram and Gamera the city Ride Armor defender were out and about defending the city. Yes, this is a real IC event. Go from there, the city isn't completely damaged. Buildings are likely designed to resist falling over, but there is a lot of structural damage as well streets having huge holes and cracks. General chaos and such perhaps, but not too insane. And before any of you ask, Light Labs is /designed/ to resist this sorta thing, so don't think you can assault it easily anymore than usual. .Procyon.

Sun Jun 02 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A new CD has come out, shortly after the Robot Master attack on Repliforcer Hailstorm Couatl. The CD, entitled 'Robot Master Anthems' is compiled by various artists, and consists of Robot master satirical songs, including 'Robot Man' by 'They certainly are dwarves', '(This song is about) Quick Man' by 'Normal Zed' Beekovic, and 'Overkill' by 'Mjolnir's Bloody Hammer' a song about the attack on Hailstorm Couatl. This is a fundraising CD, and all profits are sent to the Repliforce to raise funds for their war efforts against the Robot Masters. They Certainly Are Dwarves commented on the actions of the Robot Masters as despicable, and they organized this CD to help the Repliforce in their battle against the Robot Masters. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/16 Posted Author Daring Robbery? Hardly. Mon Jun 03 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On the news for the sleepy town of Gainsborough, Pennsylvania (and occasionally replayed for humor factor on larger GNN stations) is the 'daring' tale of a midnight robbery. The local supermarket, it seems, was robbed during the night. No witnesses, and the alarm system was carefully rerouted in a very professional job, leaving police baffled. When asked his opinion, Officer Flying Tiger of the Gainsborough Police had this to say - "It was obviously a job done by professionals. I haven't seen this quality of work since the last jewel theft when I was in New York... *scratches head* But a supermarket? What kind of professional thief would go after a grocery store...? They didn't even touch the safe, just ransacked the store rooms and made off with approximately six to nine months worth of various foodstuffs." The report ends with, "Police are still questioning locals about the raid, but expect it to have been a simple isolated incident, and are pessimistic about ever finding the culprit. In other news..."

Fri May 31 Number Man ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *text based* So we followed the Doc's orders to make Hailstorm Couatl suffer after he used a "Hacker Cat" battlebot on live TV that was broadcasting the greatest obscene hits that we had to deal with earlier in the year. And suffer he did, or the 30 seconds before his entire body disappeared in a hail of flames. Unfortunately, my frequency jamming was cracked, and people showed up to save the little $^&#. Including the Hunter called Bastion, who came and blasted me into a temporary non-existance while I repair myself and construct my body again, as was written in the black scriptures of Wily, may his eyebrows be praised by the goat with 13,000 young. I'm pretty sure other people suffered, too. Oh, and Bastion doesn't like us very much. Ballade, Ring, Astro, and Tengu are extracting themselves now. I think Tengu is being extracted in a sucrets box, from what I'm hearing.

His functions have ceased to the best of our knowledge. We were then assaulted by a coalition of forces. The majority of our attacking force was neutralized, leaving Ring Man and myself to escape. I have acquired a foot long segment of the Repliforcer's body trunk for the Master to make into gloves or boots of some variety.

Just for reference, the bomb is about... oh, say... three feet long and a foot in diameter. It's very /bomb/ shaped to boot. "I don't particularly care how... but I want it to be withing AT LEAST a city block of Light Labs, mmmyes... AND DON'T DROP IT!" Leaning back after screaming at the camera, he grins.

"Ring Man here. In regaurds to Ballade's report of a Maverick asking for information, Dynamo Man and I, whom were both in attendance at the auction of DeVry's personal effects, spoke with Magna Centipede. We answered the questions he asked honestly. His questions however, were not well concieved. We felt no need to hand him information. He informed him about the items sold, no secret, public knowledge. We informed him of a few shady characters, including a cloaked figure. We of course did not inform him of the identity of the cloaked figure, at the time of the auction we did not know that it was Sword Man, and the Centipede never asked the right questions for deception to be needed. We also did not infrom the Maverick of the person at the auction that we now suspect was one of DeVry's disguised Janes. His questions simply did not dictate it to be told. From what we got from the Maverick they want him dead, and not for questioning. They aren't even close to the objective, nor did we lead them any closer.

They -are- allowed to alternate the dropped attack back in the following round, however. Armor modes may be changed only between rounds. For example. Round one, you use attacks A, B, and C. Round two you might use attacks A, B, and D, dropping C. Round three, you might swap C back in, using A, B, and C again. Timing 6 PM Eastern is when we're gathering. Realistically, it won't begin at 6 on the dot, but be there on time. Why? If you're not there a half hour after the first person begins, you will be disqualified. Why? Because otherwise people will be meandering in all night, and round one will keep stretching longer and longer. I don't want to be here all night, and neither do most of you. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ Battle and Chase $$$$$$ Message: 22/102 Posted Author Aditional damage notes Sun Jun 02 Uranus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Misses don't count, of course.

Reaching 1000 miles wide and around 3200 miles from east to west, this is without a doubt the largest desert in the world. Its entire square footage is a blistering 3,500,000 miles, although currently you are in the eastern region. This is primarily the Libyan Desert, considered the most arid part of the Sahara itself. Oasises, as rare as they normally are, are almost nonexistant in this region, leaving little hope and even less chances for anyone to survive who manages to get lost here. The majority of the land here consists of sandy dunes, often rising up 400 feet or more in height. Far off to the east is the valley of the Nile River, the only end in sight to this infinite realm of death and, beyond its grace, is the mountainous area of the Nubian Desert as well.

Clown Man(#142POXaeAC) A colorful...clown bot is here. He has a clownish hat that is bright yellow, with a rounded red ball top, the face...is something similar to a normal clown's face, white, with red cheeks, and with blue lines covering most of face, which is seemingly frozen in a happy smile. This bot's shoulder has a purple/white shoulder with the arms itself interlinking, green, and yellow, giving a small hint that the arms can be extended beyond it's usual length. THe hands are blue with white fingertips. There's a yellow frill around this bot's neck, as dark blue metal covers his body, a reminder that what's before you is a robot. The Dark Blue ends with OVERSIZE Feet, with White, yellow, and blue. This robot regards you, before the face shifts to that of a Demonish look to it...it's only then you realize who you're looking at: Clown Man. A member of the Robot Masters. And as you look away from him, a phrase, so bonechilling runs through your head: IT'S PLAYTIME. Clown Man just look at you. Woo HA! ^_^ Colonel arrives from the Egypt. Colonel has arrived. Barrage Raptor changes into her Heavy Armor armor. [OOC] Varia Beetle says, "Two size 10 people here. Too bad for them, they wouldn't get a modifier for being large." [OOC] Seismic Earthworm snorts. Astro Man has left. [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur haw haw. :> [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix says, "size apparently doesn't factor in anyways. :)" [OOC] Seismic Earthworm cuts the OOC. Astro Man arrives from the Egypt. Astro Man has arrived. [OOC] Astro Man says, "How the heck did that happen?" OOC bleeds, "... ow." Announcement: Uranus shouts, "A large Reploid walks out onto the stands and up to the target machine. He raises one arm into the air, holding a microphone in the other. "Ladies and gentlemen! Reploids, androids, and bioroids! Children of all ages! Welcome to the Battle and Chase EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME Damage competition!" He clears his throat, "A small advisory to parents. Some things you see tonight may not be suitable for younger children." Around the world, little kids watching TV scoot closer to the sets. "My name is Panzer Pachycephalosaurus, and I'll be your announcer for this event! The Battle and Chase committee would like to thank the Robot Masters for hosting this competition in their vast expanse of wasteland!"" You will now hear messages on channel . News Camera #1 arrives from Neo-Tokyo Stadium . News Camera #1 has arrived. The Camera turns on. Knight Man has reconnected. Knight Man has partially disconnected. Yay for the Sahara. It's big. It's empty. And it's HOT. Varia Beetle stands tall and proud in her dull green and red armor, ready to give the target a royal, hand-to-hand beatdown in front of the worldwide audience. She only got 7th place in the air race, and lost her first fight in the combat brackets. Now it her chance to dish out some damage. She mills about, waiting for her turn at 'bat', as it were. "Why does it have to be so HOT?" She asks, to nobody in particular. She is, afterall, made of metal. And metal gets warm in sunlight. Panzer Pachycephalosaurus pulls out a clipboard and waves it around, "We have quite a wide array of entrants in this evening's event, so why don't we get started?" Moving discretely back from the target, he announces, "First up... is... umm..." He blinks a few times and peers. "I can't read the writing.Is that an autograph?" Shrugging, he scans over the group of entrants. "Some guy wearing pink with bad handwriting? You're up!" Sigma changes into his Neo Sigma armor. [OOC] Sigma hangs out in this mode till he's called. Sword Man arrives from the Egypt. Sword Man has arrived. Sword Man has left. [OOC] Archer Colossus also hangs out in another mode till called. Archer Colossus changes into his Archer armor. Accelerator Allosaur is somewhere among the competitors, watching the competition. His heavy armor on, he's fairly hot. It's black armor and they're in the Sahara... "It.. had to be the desert.." he says panting a little, cooling systems working hard. Standing in the midst of the Robot Master waiting area, arms folded, is Ballade. His visor is down, boomerang contracted in its optimal configuration. The occasional crackle of energy stretches across his freshly polished and maintained armor. He waits, silently, for the call. Acey hops like a mad 10-year-old on a sugar high around the arena, with Astro chasing deperately behind him. "Come back here! We're on live TV! Oh dear, this is so embarrasing..." Red Tide is curled up into a little red ball to deal with the heat and doesn't so much as stir. When the announcer makes his call for the first competitor, one can hear something in the distance. It's a voice, and it's getting closer ever second. Finally, rolling over a 'sandhill', a muscular man with brown hair in a pink karate gi yells "YAHOOIE!" and keeps on rolling...then plows right into the Damage target like a bowling ball. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Number Man transmits, "Kick $#@ and chew bubblegum, kids." [OOC] Varia Beetle snickers. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Astro Man transmits, "Thank you, Number Man! I'll do my best!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Dynamo Man transmits, "We'll come home with the gold!" Archer Colossus meanwhile shrugs, standing next to Accelerator, dressed in his normal combat togs. "Eh. Chill out...Hm.. not the best choice of words. Regardless, you could always instead burrow in the sand till your turn Accelerator." asides Archer, shaking his head at the first entrant. Seismic Earthworm pokes his head up out of the sand and looks around curiously. This is the place right? But eesh, it's hot. He crawls mostly back down into the tunnel. Knight Man is here just being Knight Man. And for those that don't know him, it means he's just standing around the Robot Master area, being completely rude to any non-RMs that are careless enough to wander near him, and just being generally cocky and arrogant. Well, he at least puts up an arrogant front, but with the likes of Ballade and Sigma competing, it'll be a tough win. But Knighter's too arrogant to care about such obvious things, so it's just as well. Dynamo Man is just there, minding his own business and waiting. Colonel simply stands alongside the other Repliforce contestants, his arms folded as he watches. He appears oblivious to the heat; either that, or steadfastly refusing to acknowledge it. It's a good thing he can't sweat. From one side of the area, rests Team Clown. With suntan lotion in hand, "I wonder who is freak that wears pi--" As said combatant literally rolls in. "..." Sideshow shrugs and transmits Metal Man is here and waiting for his call. oO(Fools nothing is more powerful then the Metal Blade Nothing!) Or so the ego mister thinks. Anyhow Metal Man watis watching others arrive as he plots his form of attack in the next event. Accelerator Allosaur takes a deep breath and just lays down, "Can't.. it'd get all through my armor and joints... Last thing I need to do is something like that, then when i'm called not be able to move. It is hot, hot, hot. Poor Chill, there's no water in sight... except for that oasi.... oh wait that's just a mirage, not real. Chill Penguin is nervous (surprise surprise), and is burnt hot on top of that. Poor Chill, feel bad for him, for he's going to mel... errr wait, no he's not. The pink-clad karate man is dazed, but incredibly springs back to his feet as much of the audience just stares. Apparently either incredibly devious or misunderstanding the purpose of the contest, his right arm is bent at a 90 degree angle at the elbow, fist shaking vigorously as he yells insults at the target. Most of it's along the lines of "What's the matter with you?" "My dad's tougher than you!", etc. Finally, after a good 20 seconds or so of verbal abuse, he gives a hearty thumbs-up to the crowd and proclaims, "Easy victory!", and...rolls off away along the same route he came in. [OOC] Andromeda is afraid. [OOC] Dynamo Man is very afraid. Accelerator Allosaur has reconnected. Accelerator Allosaur has partially disconnected. Panzer Pachycephalosaurus scratches his head, "Ummm... okay. That was different. The pink-clad guy gets a round one score of... umm. 3. Right! Next contestant is Dawn of the Maverick Hunters!" [OOC] Astro Man doesn't get it. [OOC] Clown Man says, "..." [OOC] Knight Man just thinks he's a loony [OOC] Barrage Raptor facepalms. [OOC] Varia Beetle heehees. Yay Dan. [OOC] Colonel dies laughing. [OOC] Uranus alters that. Make it Clown Man next. [OOC] Dawn says, "Thank you, Urry. I need a sec as it is." [OOC] Sigma says, "Someone needs to be shot." [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur says, "Dan Hibiki! OYAJII!!!" [OOC] Astro Man says, "Hmm, tense silence." Ring Man has arrived. [OOC] Ring Man cheers for dan. Clown Man strides forth and eyes the target... before changing into a... Business Suit?! With a Hasbro logo on it. "Thank you. Now for our feature presentation. A dramatic recreation of the Galvatron/Starscream confrontation from Transformers the Movie." A Galvatron toy appears (courtesy of Sideshow) "A contest, Starscream. That's Bad Comedy." The toy transforms and attempts to put a hole into 'Starscream' (aka the Target). You strike Extreme Damage Calculator with your Lethal Toy attack. Clown Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Lethal Toy for 15 units of damage. [OOC] Barrage Raptor facepalms, again. [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur says, "Uh." [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur says, "Isn't Dawn up?" [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Nope." [OOC] Seismic Earthworm says, "no." [OOC] Uranus says, "Cut the OOC." [OOC] Red Tide says, "No, Urry changed it." The flash of light that is a telltale arrival of someone with blink appears just a step behind the Colonel and Archer Colossus. A whisper follows toward them both, "This is the dignity that you felt, this is the gutter where you've been pushed. This is your wretched shamed existance, where the shamed, the damned, and the blamed now stand. I can smell the slowly spreading stain of your pain. Oh, that burden of your very own shame. I can hear the torment of your own souls, knowing how you failed so." Sigma stops after his slight discourse, his eyes flashing with that charismatic shine and the smile upon his face that has won thousands to his cause, "How are we today my dear gentle-reploids?" Ring Man has left. Knight Man has reconnected. Knight Man has partially disconnected. No flashy entrances for Barrage Raptor. Nope. Instead, she just lugs her ton and a half of weapons through the desert towards the area where the contest is being held, "Maybe I shouldn't have stopped at that convience store on the way here, though...That guy did look pretty freaked out..." Metal Man watches Clown start to hammer the target. "Come on Bro is that the best you can do?!!!" Accelerator Allosaur winces a little at the sound of that voice, since he's beside Archer. The Allosaur looks back, then glares, eyes narrowing at the face of Sigma. He has plenty of reason to be mad at him too, but that doesn't need to be explained just now... "I was just hot," he starts, even if he may not have been adressed, "But now i'm hotter..." he growls. Archer Colossus rolls his optics, before whispering rather audiable to Colonel. "I swear, this neighborhood gets worse and worse. They'll let any geek in off the street these days, won't they?" Yawning, Archer raises a hand to his mouth for the purpose of stifling, before giving a smug smile to the Maverick Emporer. "Ah. Good thing I've got on my shades. I think the Mirror desert's a good few hundred miles west. You'd find yourself at home." adds the sharpshooter, rakishly. Varia Beetle eyes the long-armed Robot Master and his little toys. "Someone's a few curcuits short of a pair..." She mutters, although with a slight smile on her face. o O (And if he intends to keep using toys, then he isn't too much competition.) Then Varia looks about, hoping to find a nearby refreshment stand, and hopes thier stock hasn't evaporated in the heat. And if things are going in alphabetical order, she's got time enough to spare to get a drink now doesn't she? Overdrive Ostrich arrives from the Egypt. Overdrive Ostrich has arrived. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "I'm here! *pant pant* Am I too late?" Clown Man pulls back as he shifts back to normal and states, "Sideshow..." The Moneky needs to encouragement. The little monkey's chest glows... ...And Goliath comes out to STEP on the target. You strike Extreme Damage Calculator with your Sideshow - Hologram Assault attack. Clown Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Sideshow - Hologram Assault for 20 units of damage. [OOC] Varia Beetle says, "Unfortunatly, I think so Overdrive." [OOC] Uranus says, "Nope." [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix says, "its not quite 6:30." [OOC] Andromeda believes your 5 mins just in time. [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "No, Urry said a half hour after the first person." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "WHew." If possible, Colonel goes even more still than before. He waits until Sigma's little litany is finished, then turns from the target to face the Maverick leader. His eyes flash dangerously, and he glares at Sigma. "So, the mighty...'Emperor' deigns to step down from his throne and join the mortals." With a snort of contempt, he turns back to watch the contest. [OOC] Uranus is gonna extend a bit too, since we have fewer than I expected. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "How do I sign up?" [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Wait your turn." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich ahs. OK then. ^^ [OOC] Colonel says, "If you've already signed up on the OOC object, you're fine." Chill Penguin isnt gonna hold out too well in this extreme heat, and is extremely nervous, on the day of the extreme damage event. Such repetitive themes, then it's followed by Chill panting loudly, and then falling into the sand. He's exhausted, and and all he really needs to survive is a tad of water. He's kicking up quite a sand storm as he hits the sandy ground. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich assumes he'll be last? How far through are we? Red Tide uncurls with a soft squelching noise, her paraplasm warmed and loosened by the heat. Why? Because she wants to see Sigma, who she can hear fine; she doesn't say anything to him, just looking with her flat gaze. [OOC] Astro Man says, "Clown is the first, and he hasn't finished yet." [OOC] Varia Beetle says, "We had Dan from Streetfighter show up as a gag, and Clown has done 2/3 attacks." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich ohs?... How long does each person take?.. Clown Man cracks his knuckles, and goes into his final attack. The one he is famous for. He looks into the camera and winks... apparently for a certain Strider who Parents are no longer here. Pity. "This is for you, Stormer..." He mad cackles before lunging at the target... "THUNDER CLAW!!" [OOC] Uranus notes to all you people posing that it's really hot... It's night time in Africa. You strike Extreme Damage Calculator with your Thunder Claw attack. Clown Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Thunder Claw for 18 units of damage. [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur says, "...ack." [OOC] Dynamo Man says, "Note: It's freakin freezing." [OOC] Andromeda says, "IE: Really cold." [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix says, "which means its cold. :>" [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix transforms into Spaceheater Phoenix. [OOC] Varia Beetle juggles some Magma Balls. ^^ A cloud of dust rises on the horizon.. and within minutes, Overdrive Ostrich skids into the Extreme Damage area in a spray of sand. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich giggles. [OOC] Red Tide says, "Okay, the IC time says 6:00 GMT, and that's ENgland, isn't it? Which makes it about 9:00, which means it wouldn't be freezing yet. Sorry." Panzer Pachycephalosaurus makes a few marks on his pad, "And Clown Man scores 53! Next up is Dawn, of the Maverick Hunters!" [OOC] Uranus says, "By the way, guys? Try to not take more than 10 minutes." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "Not to be a pest, but when can I expect to get called? I hafta go to dinner at some point here. :/" [OOC] Uranus can put you near the beginning, Overdrive. [OOC] Barrage Raptor has to go at about 7:00 for dinner as well. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "That'd be prime.. I'll be quick. Just pose-shoot-pose-shoot-pose-shoot?" [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix says, "Urry, how long do you think this will take in total?" [OOC] Uranus shrugs. [OOC] Uranus says, "Depends how long people take to pose." [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Sixteen hours, twenty three minutes, and fourty six seconds, Firestorm." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich happily starts composing in notepad. [OOC] Varia Beetle suggests people pre-type thier three attack poses. [OOC] Firestorm Phoenix says, "thats a good idea." Quint arrives from the Egypt. Quint has arrived. Get on your knees, simpletons! Quint is here! [OOC] Barrage Raptor gnaw. Dawn shows up a few seconds late, but that's ok. She's dragging along a pair of vehicles; two Greyhound buses, one front fender held in each hand. Tied on top of each bus is a steel construction beam, and a third beam is on her back. 'Heavy metal' indeed. When she arrives at the target, she grabs one bus...and makes a haymaker horizontal swing with it at the target. [OOC] Seismic Earthworm says, "But I don't HAVE knees!" Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Giga Strike attack. Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Giga Strike for 26 units of damage. Varia Beetle isn't quite so warm now. But she heads over to a place selling some refreshments anyway, and picks up a bottle of blue Gatorade and a chocolate bar. Mmm, snackage. She goes back to her place to watch the contestants, pondering which forms of attack would work best on the poor, defensless target. [OOC] Quint says, "For the record, I have to go eat dinner shortly, so I'll be unavailable until then. If I'm called, make them call someone else. :)" [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich assumes we're down in the desert and the observers are up in the floating stadium.. [OOC] Quint says, "They, rather. Feh." Dawn then sets that bus aside, grabs the third steel beam, and makes a leap into the air. On the descent, she flips and does a downward slam with the beam onto the target. Dawn misses Extreme Damage Calculator with her Bash attack. [OOC] Dawn says, "Hehehe." Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Bash attack. Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Bash for 28 units of damage. Uranus has reset your health to full endurance. Dawn gets to the finale in short order. She tosses the beam aside, then returns for the buses. In a version of John Woo gone horribly wrong, she's equipped with 'akimbo buses', one in each hand. She makes a single spin, whacking the target with each bus once, and fufilling predictions that this would be her weapon of choice. Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Power Strike attack. Dawn strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Power Strike for 42 units of damage. Panzer Pachycephalosaurus makes a mark, "Dawn gets a score of 96! Next up, Barrage Raptor of the Repliforce!" Tomahawk Man arrives from the Egypt. Tomahawk Man has arrived. Tomahawk Man looks around, trying to find any fellow masters amoung the hustle and bustle of competition. "Okay!" Barrage jumps up, all happy like as she rushes down to the firing line, warming up her weapons as she goes, "Okay. I'm all ready to rock and roll!" Stepping up to the line, Barrage twists around and sets up her sniper cannon, taking aim at the target, before letting loose with the armor piercing blast. Barrage Raptor misses Extreme Damage Calculator with her Tail Sniper Cannon attack. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Tail Sniper Cannon attack. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Tail Sniper Cannon for 22 units of damage. Archer Colossus meanwhile looks towards those surrounding him, and smiles. "Well, since I ain't up yet, I've got a preperation t' make. Barrage, good luck. Colonel, yell if I'm up. Sigma, you should be glad we Reploids can't get sunburn." Winking mischeviously, Archer begins jogging for a warehouse not too far from the area, where the lighting effects of blowtorches, and hammers pounding begin to come from. Metal Man watches Dawn brutally hit the target. oO(Dang...) Turning back around, Barrage reaches into her little subspace pouch, and pulls out a block with a small black box on it. She punches something into the little black box, so that a red light turns on, then pulls back and hurls the block at the target. Reaching down, she presses a little trigger on her left wrist, causing the light to turn green, and a massive explosion to rip from the little block. Barrage Raptor misses Extreme Damage Calculator with her Semtex Plastic Explosive attack. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Semtex Plastic Explosive attack. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Semtex Plastic Explosive for 17 units of damage. Varia Beetle blinks a few times, and applauds loudly once Dawn smacks around the target with a Greyhound bus. "Whoa! Great work Dawn!" Dawn backs off as the next competitor begins, though she leaves her 'toys' lying there; no room for them in the stands where she's gone to wait. Despite a rather impressive show, she looks less than enthused about being here, and various congratulations go largely unanswered. Tomahawk Man sighs and decides to watch the, for a lack of a better word, 'competition' .oO(Hmph, I guess I should just hang around- incase anything interesting happends.)Oo. Barrage growls softly. Okay, that wasn't good. Now she needs to make sure she'll lay into the target. She sets herself up, locking onto the target with her HUD, and making sure there's nothing around that's going to be in the way. All of the weapons on her form start to hum, the gatling cannons starting to warm up, as she sets up to let loose with everything she's got. She'll need a reload after this one. The missile ports on her form open up, "Alright. Let's do it." She grins, and fires, the gatling cannons starting to fire, as well as the rail cannons on her sides, the missile pods launching out dozens of missiles, all of the weapons directed at the one little target.. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Total Barrage attack. Barrage Raptor strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with her Total Barrage for 25 units of damage. Seismic Earthworm just stares at Dawn's utter demolition of the target via busses... dang. Girl's got mad power. Then again, anyone who can tote HIS big aft around... Knight Man has reconnected. Panzer Pachycephalosaurus makes a mark, "Barrage Raptor gets a score of 64! Next up, Overdrive Ostrich for the Mavericks!" Knight Man has partially disconnected. Overdrive Ostrich steps into the firing range, waving at the folks in the floating stands. He turns around and runs away from the target for a good distance, a half mile or so out into the sand before turning and accelerating toward the firing range. Watch close, folks.. this is the Desert Combat specialist at his best! A plume of sand and dust rise behind him, dwarfing Overdrive as he approaches. A sonic boom shakes the stadium above and rolls out over the range, followed by an echoing crash as dust shrouds the target! The breeze rapidly disperses the sand, clearing around the dented target as Overdrive readies for his next attack. Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his High-speed Ram attack. Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his High-speed Ram for 25 units of damage. Overdrive Ostrich turns around and crouches in the sand, raising his arm and taking aim at the target.. being the large, unmoving broadside of a barn, he's mainly showing off. The slot above his wrist glows and a whirling crescent of metal shrieks out, glowing blue-violet as the vibroblade slices into the Calculator with a screech and a shower of sparks! Overdrive Ostrich wastes no time in charging the target again, the orange blur flashing into it and whirling as Overdrive collides with the wall kneefirst and starts to twist around, slicing into the metal with the blades on his knees, wrists, elbows, and even the radiator fins lining his back! He steps away from the ruined target and bows to the crowd, then makes his way to the sidelines. Ta-daaaa! Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Sonic Slicer attack. Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Sonic Slicer for 18 units of damage. Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Blade Dash attack. Overdrive Ostrich strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Blade Dash for 25 units of damage. Seismic Earthworm sends a radio transmission. Dawn receives a radio transmission. [OOC] Dawn says, "The target is not 'ruined'. It's got 1000 HP..." Sigma does catch the comments from both Repliforcers, but his attention has been grabbed by another within the stands. Glaring up with a wink and smile, Sigma moves to the edges of the stands though remains on the grounds of the field as he sends out a small message. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "Shh. :>" Dawn sends a radio transmission to Seismic Earthworm. Seismic Earthworm receives a radio transmission. Sigma sends a radio transmission to Iris. Sigma receives a radio transmission from Iris. Knight Man has reconnected. [OOC] Knight Man says, "My ISP hates me" Knight Man has partially disconnected. Seismic Earthworm sends a radio transmission. Dawn receives a radio transmission. Panzer Pachycephalosaurus makes a mark, "Overdrive Ostrich scores 68! Next up is Astro Man of the Robot Masters!" Dawn gets strange voices in her head, ya! Looking over to Seismic, she's gone from 'unenthused' to 'curious', then finally shrugs and nods towards him, before going back to watching the event. Astro Man hovers up to the field, Acey perched on his shoulder, sparking happily and waving his ears to the crowd. Astro meanwhile is quite stagestruck and wringing his hands together in worry. Glancing back to his siblings for a second, he takes a deep breath (or at least what sounds like one) and begins to twitch his fingers. Small pieces of dust begin to swirl around him, debris and matter forming out of thin air around him. They spin around him, growing larger and larger, becoming a dozen bowling-ball sized meteoroids. Thrusting his hands forward, Astro flings the array of stones at the target. Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Meteor Shower attack. Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Meteor Shower for 15 units of damage. Acey squeaks and bounces up and down, trilling something into Astro Man's ear. His optics widen at the suggestion of it, quite amazed, but the little drone continues to squeak and bounce up and down. "OK, if that's what you really want..." Astro Man grabs the small drone in his hand and supercharges Acey with kinetic energy. With a flash of light, he throws the Rabbiring at the target, whereupon he bounces off, squeaks happily and waddles over to Astro Man before collapsing flat on his face. Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Asteroid Strike attack. Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Asteroid Strike for 23 units of damage. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Current Systems Status $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Current Endurance: [||||||||||||||||||||] (64 / 64) Fuel Reserves: [||||||||||||||||||||] (100 / 100) Status: Nominal Forcefield Power: 0 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Astro Man scoops up Acey and places him back on his shoulder. "Hold on tight for this one, all right? It's going to make you a little dizzy!" Astro Man blinks out of sight, then flashes back into existance high above the stadium. He then blinks again, reappears, blink, appear, blink, appear, blinkappearblinkappearblinkappearblinkappearblinkappear "ASTRO CRUSH!" Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Astro Crush attack. Astro Man strikes Extreme Damage Calculator with his Astro Crush for 27 units of damage. Tomahawk Man looks up, hiding slight anticipation to watch his brother do what he can to the targets. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "OK, I go to dinner now." [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "Think I'll be in Round 2? :>" Panzer Pachycephalosaurus makes a mark, "Astro Man scores 65! Next up, Andromeda of the Maverick Hunters!" [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "(Mental Note: do not mess with Dawn.)" [OOC] Uranus won't be moving people on until the round is over. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich ahs. Roger that. Thunder Triceratops has arrived. [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "(idle)" [OOC] Andromeda is back.. how long was it since Urry called me? [OOC] Red Tide says, "Not very." [OOC] Uranus says, "About a minute." [OOC] Thunder Triceratops says, "Just now. c.c;" [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Dinner time." Colonel stands silently at his spot in the waiting circle. As the contestants attack the target, his hand drifts down to his sabre hilt clipped to his waist. He glances behind him, frowning at the lack of Sigma. Well. Not that he'd want to keep the Maverick behind him, but it was better than not knowing where he was. With a grunt, he unclips his sabre, leaving it in his hand before folding his arms once more, waiting for his turn. [OOC] Tomahawk Man says, "It's midnight here!" Clown Man nods at Astro. //*Heh. If we're lucky, Astro might win this one for us...*// [OOC] Uranus afks for just a sec. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Ballade transmits, "Very good, Astro Man." Accelerator Allosaur gllances up at Colonel, then out toward the target and the present competitor. "How do you think you'll do, Colonel?" he asks since he's near by. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Astro Man transmits, "Th, thank you, Ballade! I'll do my best if I progress farther!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Tomahawk Man transmits, "I am no expert at these events, brother. But I think my congradulations will not fall short today." Sigma sends a radio transmission to Iris. Colonel hrms? at Accelerator. "Well enough," he says with a shrug, watching the numbers. "Some decent competition today." Accelerator Allosaur can agree with that, especially that first one from the hunters. "I think i'll be able to get a fair score.." Tomahawk Man has disconnected. Andromeda steps over across the sand slowly, completely covered from head to toe in green and black armor as she makes her way a short distance from the target. Her shoulders rise and fall slowly, suggesting at a heavy sigh as her green arm cannon extends to the firing position, her legs slightly bent and shoulder-width apart as she braces her arm cannon with her left hand. A small whine emanates from her cannon before a stream of white erupts from the green cannon muzzle and makes it's way toward the target. $$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/18 Posted Author Odd Commercial Mon Jun 03 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A series of commercials played throughout Africa, but picked up by syndication due to the abnormality and sent across the world as a result. Look Ma, it's global TV! It's a field, a nice meadow, with large wheat stalks growing in the background. Gathered together are thirty Neo Joes, all dressed as old ladies. A voice over begins. "Thirty Helen Joes agree. Fugue did a very, very bad thing." Close-up of several, as they speak their 'opinions'. "She shouldn't have done what she did." "That was wroooong." "No biscuit, bad dog!" "Arf!" "Thirty Helen Joes agree. Fugue's in trouble." "Yeah, but she is kinda cute." "Dude, don't say that!" "RUN!" The Neo Joes scramble madly, as a high-pitched whine cues up and promptly unleashes a blast clear across the meadow, decimating twenty-nine of the Joes. The one remaining trembles, and there's a close up. "This'll be you, Fugue. This'll be you." Finally, and thankfully, the final Helen Joe is destroyed as Bass runs out onto screen, slicing the generic in half, before turning to give the camera the finger and a rather crazed and angry look. A single word flashes across as the commercial draws to a close. Soon. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/39 Posted Author Extreme Damage Mon Jun 03 Ballade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ballade is in the repair bay, laying on a slab. Hunks of glass are being taken out of his armor by drones. It looks painful. "I have gained the bronze medal in the extreme damage competition. It has been put in a new case next to our other medals in the Fortress control room. It was an adequate showing, considering the competition. The final rounds were very close." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/40 Posted Author Ice Cream Giveaway Tue Jun 04 Ice Man ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Booyaka!
