Chaos decended on a Quik-Mart and All Night Video Rental in the city of Jersey this evening... What might have been any usual convience store robbery turned out to be a full-scale Robot Master raid. An Applesoft office down the street from the store may have been the actual intended target, but was left unattacked thanks to the timely efforts and response of the Repliforce. However, a Quik-Mart employee is in critial condition tonight, being treated for injuries incurred during the struggle. Upon finally regaining conciousness after the attack, the employee's only remark was quoted as: 'And I wasn't even supposed to BE here today!' Also, GNN mourns the loss of...sadly, yet another field reporter, taken down in the line of duty." "Reported missing from the store itself are approximately two hundred individual cans of 'Cheez Whiz' Cheese Food Product from the store's supply, as well as numerous video-disks from the store's rental library. Presumedly, the Robot Masters do NOT plan to return the videos, and WILL incur late charges. Damages to the store itself have been estimated at approximately a hundred-thousand zenny. It is estimated that a good two-thirds of this damage seems to have been caused by Repliforce's retaliation firepower. However, a note left scrawled on top of the store counter is quoted to read 'Send the bill to Wily: Love, Gemini Man.' Witnesses did ID the Robot Master among those present at the scene, but he was unavailable for comment at the time of press." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/46 Posted Author Raid tonight Fri Jun 07 Gemini Man ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --Gemini Man appears on screen. He is not flanked by his usual 'self,' but, rather, by Dust Man, who is dressed sharply in a black suit and a pair of dark glasses, for some odd reason. You'd have to ask him.-- Gemini begins: "We went for a walk tonight to rent some videos." He waves a hand. "Well, that ended up being the size of it, more or less." Gemini grins. "Of course, by 'rent,' we mean, 'take forever,' but, it's semantics. Dust Man stole the food, and Bomb and Ice assisted." He rolls his eyes... "And, yes, I heard on the news that we offered to PAY, but we didn't really. Likely, the trigger happy Repliforcer we beat up scrawled it onto the counter before she passed out on the floor. Even so, it was a good night." --Spinny!-- -- Gemini Man -- Gemini Man -- "In war there can never be too much deception." --Chinese proverb $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Western Australia While beginning to feel the creeping tendrils of technology, the Outback of western Australia staunchly holds on to its rugged atmosphere. One could roam for days and never see another soul in this wild expanse. A few tribes of Aboriginies still roam the plains, as indicated by the few trade outposts along the shores and main trails. Definitely a place to be alone. Or be hidden.

West leads to Indian Ocean. Southeast leads to South Australia. Northeast leads to Northern Territory. Up leads to Sky Above Australia. The racers speed around the track.... [OOC] Uranus says, "Crashes allowed once I do my emit." Dash Deinonychus calls out, "And they're off! Accelerator Allosaur and M3 pull into an early lead, with Overdrive Ostrich and Quick Man right on their tails! Riptide Wyvern isn't far behind, with the rest of the pack bunched up still!" Overdrive Ostrich frowns a bit as Accelerator and Mitsurei take off with better acceleration, but his resolve doesn't weaken. He knows their speed will fail soon, once he starts dragging a sonic boom over the stadium... Overdrive Ostrich offers little more than a grunt to his rival and erstwhile teammate, Quick Man. And Accelerator simply blasts those thrusters as high and as hard as they can go. Forget weapon systems, everything is diverted into the dinosaur's legs and thrusters as he blazes out. He'll be set for his own sonic boom in a few more minutes. Flare Feline is just getting warmed up!! ...is what he'd like to say. But really he'll be running at a pretty even pace all night. The race is just beginning.... Floating Stadium This stadium is actually several constructs floating in midair on flying platforms. A small teleporter chamber sits in the center of the stadium platorms, with walkways linking them all together. Type 'teleport' to return to the ground. Contents: Fusion Phoenix > From outside, Ricochet pumps his not so little legs as he races, as quickly as possible, kicking up a fair amount of dust. Not a whole lot, but... it's noticable. He scurries along. Not the fastest ground racer, though, that much is evident. Firebrand has arrived. Fusion Phoenix drops Firebrand. > From outside, Run run run. Hey look, is that Centaur Man? Didn't she kick his ass the other day? Well, no big deal. Barrage decides...To do it again!" She runs up right behind Centaur Man, pulls her talon back, and aims to plant it right into his horse's ass, to slow him down while she runs on. > From outside, Riptide Wyvern isn't doing too bad, so far. Generally that's a good thing. This time, maybe she'd do better than fourth place; she'd be happy with second.. or maybe first. But she wasn't placing her hopes too high. She changes her track slightly, staying -out- of the cloud of dust those in front of her have already kicked up. Cough. > From outside, Quick Man doesn't really care for not being in first place, nor does he really care that Overdrive is his team mate in two other events. Nodding towards Overdrive, he doesn't try crashing into him since he isn't an idiot, but instead tries to keep his pace. > From outside, Metal Man speeds on and seeds Top Man near by and says, "Bro watch you back we got Dawn behind us and she is packing an I beam..." > From outside, Arafina doesn't even bother doing anything in the way of charging people. Waving to Ricochet as she keeps almost perfect pace with him, she grins. "Hey, does that flyin' thing count as a second entry?" she inquires, gesturing at Orbit as she keeps pace. > From outside, Spring Man continues bouncing along, using his large spring legs like stilts, giving him a better then normal ground speed. *boing boing boing boing* He waves to Slash as he passes him. > From outside, Kalinka continues to skate smoothly along in her red skate-suit...eyes focused very sharply upon the track in front of her, nothing else matters. She's doing this in honor of her father, her country, and the Hunters. She knows she doesn't have much chance of winning, but the honor is in the participation and the attempt, she wagers. And so it goes. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops just stomps along, bringing up the rear as expected... but not dead last. Imagine that. There's a few people in front of her, but for right now, she's just watching. When she starts picking up on who's the real threats here, then she'll go into action... > From outside, Dawn is packing a beam, but doesn't seem to be really interested in swinging it around even as she zips by Top and Metal. She has the reach for it, but opts to just remain a 'middle of the pack' racer that is sans violence. > From outside, Slash Man is flinging himself forward. He's really far behind, and he's not happy about it. Turning to face the Hunter, who is also his next opponent in combat, he decides to take out his aggression by thrusting his body towards her. As he moves toward Arafina, he shouts out: "Vae Victus!" > From outside, Slash Man crashes forcefully into Arafina! > From outside, Legs ablur, Mitsurei's arms sweep back as he way power travels across the ground, accelerating rapidly. -Seconds- in, Mitsurei hits his top foot speed. 92.3 mph. But now... "..." Let's kick it up a notch. There is a sudden _blast_ of speed from the Mysterious Man WHom Has a Hairdo Similar to Mitsurei's boots as he dramatically speeds up, affording him a decent lead as he suddenly switches to -powerskating-, skating on controlled gravity fields scant -inches- from the ground. ... And guess what? His scarf? It's barely moving. Darn skippy. > From outside, Top Man's wheels motor onward as he kicks up even more dust. Turning his head slightly in Metal's direction, he looks forward a little to spot dawn and the I-Beam she's carrying. Nodding to his brother, Top merely continues on, looking more serious than he ever has. Putting his body lower to the ground like a speedskater, Top moves his legs in a similar fashion. The olympics got NOTHIN' on him. > From outside, Alpha runs alongside Arafina, she says, "I do not think so, Fina.", and then Slash Man crashes into Fina, she looks towards him briefly but just keeps on running, a little irritated though. Why is he trying to tackle -Fina-? > From outside, Centaur Man continues to run, he wont let the herd loose today. Having his speed as high as he can, he gallops along, not worrying about the competition for now. He will worry later, for it all matters in the end anyway. For now, run horsey, run! > From outside, Barrage Raptor crashes forcefully into Centaur Man! > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... > From outside, Ricochet glances towards Arafina as he hurries along... as for Orbit, he currently is in ratmouse form. Looking much like a Pikachu. Clinging to Ric... and eating the underwear that she helped liberate. "*BLOOP BLEEP BWIP*" he grouses. Ric shudders, and shakes his head. "No, it's... a long story..." Blink. Slash Man smashing into her?... he frowns. Cheap shot... he continues racing, hoping for some point in the future to whack the errant Master. He gives a quick nod to Flare as he closes in behind him. > From outside, Dash Deinonychus isn't excited yet. THe race has just begun, after all. "M3 pulls into the lead as he rounds the first lap, with Overdrive Ostrich and Accelerator Allosaur just behind him and Quick Man pulling fourth! Looks like there's already a few scuffles out there as..." He pauses and leans over, peering down at the track. "HEY, ARAFINA! Try to keep your clothes on this year!" > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor LOL! > From outside, [OOC] Alpha says, "rofl" > From outside, [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "LOL!" > From outside, Accelerator Allosaur blinks just a little as the one near by him manges to edge out and get ahead, darn, he just slips in behind the faster machine and takes in the draft, not really looking to see who's where now. Call him a fair sport, he isn't gonna crash anyone just yet.... > From outside, [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur THUDS! > From outside, [OOC] Thunder Triceratops LOL. > From outside, Flare Feline is still running strong, at least as strong as he can go. Nope, nothing new here. Flare didn't enter this race with the intention of crashing into others... but if it looks like he can do so and help a friend, who knows? > From outside, Barrage Raptor just keeps on running after literally kicking Centaur Man's butt, deciding that she'll be safe just running along now. But she's keeping an eye out for anyone who can beat Accel... > From outside, Thunder Triceratops stomp stomp stomps along, actually managing to get in front of some people, however that's possible. Though she doesn't dwell on the thought, as she notices a familiar face up ahead, look it's that triggerhapper raptor. Well, as she's coming up from behind, she lowers her head and does what triceras do best. "Hey there missy! Remember me?" > From outside, Ok, this is getting wierd. First he has 2 people ahead of him, now 3??? Quick Man's smile fade for a second, but quickly comes back, as he again decides to not crash anyone, but instead he picks up his pace, gaining even more speed. What, you thought he was actually running at his full speed? He's just warming up! > From outside, Spring Man continues to bound along, considering he hasn't found any good reason to crash into anyone yet. But Spring is smarter then he looks, and relizes that he dosn't have a chance to win. Hrm... how about letting another Master get the gold? He ponders this as he bounds around a corner, looking as funny as ever with the stilt legs. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops tries to ram into Barrage Raptor, without much success. > From outside, Getting tripped sucks, and now she /is/ in dead last. Fina somersaults before landing in a rather untidy heap, grumbling and swearing in about six languages. Hopping back to her feet, she starts running again; as she does, she spots some guy with a rather slow-moving scarf just behind. Recognizing him as the current leader, she aims a kick at one of his legs as he catches up for a bare moment. Looking up at the closest speaker, she bellows back, "Y'only wish they'd come off again!" > From outside, Arafina tries to ram into Mitsurei, without much success. > From outside, Metal Man keeps opn running sure he is not going to win the race but that is not why he is here in the race. Metal Man is here well for a darker purpose. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich keeps his head even if he's not in first place.. c'mon, slow down.. oh well. It's.. a friend. He digs harder, leaving Quick Man in his dust as he pulls even with Accelerator. Concentrating all his effort on speed... > From outside, Centaur Man continues to run. A minor set back, being slashed into, but no worries. Horsey just keeps running. He just runs, galloping along, ignoring temptations to smash the enemmy... for now. > From outside, Dawn sees Top Man gaining ground on her for now. Even so, she doesn't bring her construction-beam to bear on him, apparently willing to just race non-violently for now. > From outside, Slash Man bolts forward, having successfully attacked the 'Fina. He has nobody worth attacking this time except Kalinka, and he's not going waste his time on her. For now he just continues blazing forward, hoping to get a hit off on a larger piece prey at some point. > From outside, Alpha says with a soft sigh, "Fina, be careful...You do not -know- that man.", of course, it's anybody's guess if anybody actually hears her. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Spring Man transmits, "... You know, it is a lovely day for running." > From outside, Being lapped is no fun. And while she wasn't in the top five or six anymore, Riptide wasn't complaining yet. Oh no. A quick survey of her direct area reveals very few within biting range, the only one who -was- ... was well. Not appetizing looking. All that spinning might be .. contagious or something. > From outside, Kalinka is still focused single-mindedly on the track in front of her...her skinny little red-suited frame gliding alongside Slash, though she doesn't even notice him in her concentration. > From outside, Top Man skates onward as he scoots around a turn, going past the halfway point of his first round and beyond. Streamlining himself as much as he can, he whips slightly past Dawn and smirks, looking behind himself and sticking out his tongue for a milisecond before he continues on his way. > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... > From outside, FOOM! Mitsurei The Stampede, moving like a -demon- (Speed _is_ what he's good at,) looks to the side, as he passes Accelerator. That glimmering visor flickers for a moment.. "....." (See ya.) *VOOM!* THe reploid tears into it with some speed, as he... passes Arafina a second time. .. And she tries to _kick_ him. However. There's a problem. Problem being- This mysterious M3 man _flashes_ past her in a somersault that.. by some marvelous feat of physics, utterly fails to get him tripped up. "....." () > From outside, Barrage has been keeping an eye out for people who could beat Accel..>And here comes one guy now. It's that 'M3' person, "Oh no you don't!" She turns around as he rushes towards her, "Flying raptor pounce of death!" She leaps at him, aiming to barrel him over.. > From outside, Barrage Raptor crashes forcefully into Mitsurei! > From outside, Accelerator Allosaur grunts a bit, trying to put some more power into those engines, Still concentraiting on speed and nothing else... must.. .move.. FASTER! Growling with a bit of emphasis, he glances aside at the speedy maverick at his side. He just glances forward. No, he's not about to crash Overdrive, no way. > From outside, Flare Feline is continuing to focus on the race. No chances to crash anyone of worth just yet... whether he will or not if he gets the chance... he'll likely decide at the last minute, like he does everything else. > From outside, Dash Deinonychus surveys the track, "M3 maintains his lead, with Overdrive Ostrich and Accelerator Allosaur right behind... but Quick Man has fallen back from the three leaders! Can he live up to his name and regain his former position?" Meanwhile, several 'unofficial' bookies are making their way throughout the stands, taking five-to-one odds on Arafina losing some improtant article of clothing before the race is over. > From outside, [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur facepalms. > From outside, Arafina stopped too long to kick and yell back, because she's still behind and nobody else is in reach. She goes back to running, head lowered, blissfully unaware of the bookies. > From outside, Dawn is starting to lose massive ground to the head of the pack, though to her credit she's managed to pull back into the same general area as Top Man. Still no violence despite the 'hardware' for it. Content to just race at the moment. > From outside, Quick Man acks as they gain even more speed on him! Noticing that they are now in range of his little friends, his smile widens, as he decides to pick up his pace more instead of crashing into anyone. > From outside, Slash Man has a bead on some big prey now. As Overdrive Ostrich speeds past him, he sees the opportunity to help his master brethren out and get some food at the same time! Mmm, ostrich meat is a rarity and this one is HUGE. And fast. Mmm, food. He dashes forward, attempting to shove his sorry slow carcass into the speeding ground-bird. > From outside, Slash Man crashes forcefully into Overdrive Ostrich! > From outside, Thunder Triceratops mutters as she misses, but keeps right on running, even as the leading people pass all the slowpokes like her up... like that other dinothing holding position with Overdrive. About time they caught up to her. Trike moves over a bit as Overdrive speeds by, moving a bit closer to Accel's path, and then suddenly lunges towards the side with a football style tackle. > From outside, Alpha sighs softly, not having anybody she wants to break near her. Then again, if she gets close to Slash Man again, she might. So far, she just runs like a mongaralzorz. > From outside, Ricochet... well, races. Orbit remains on his back, chewing on the undies. "Get ready to jump, Orbit..." "*BLOOP BLEEP BLOOP*" Orbit inquires. Pause. "...that's... not a bad idea..." > From outside, Thunder Triceratops tries to ram into Accelerator Allosaur, without much success. > From outside, Top Man looks to his left as Dawn begins to catch up, his eyes widening before he frowns and looks straight forward again. Nodding to himself, Topper pulls his arms in and immediately does his trademark trick... He begins spinning. Zoom zoom. > From outside, Centaur Man looks at Accel. He's right there, and he'sd winning too. He'll show him not to go against the herd. He ducks his head down, and charges forward. Skewered Dinosaur is the horseman's intent. He needs success. It will determine victory or defeat for the herd! > From outside, Metal Man is still going along at top speed watching for a moment looking for his place to strike out at the enemies of wily! > From outside, Centaur Man crashes forcefully into Accelerator Allosaur! > From outside, Kalinka continues on her way. She's not slow by any means...however, in comparison to the super-powered reploids and androids in this event, she's sort of left behind in the dust. This doesn't seem to matter to the young Cossack, though. Her expression is one of focused determination. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich 's eyes light up as M3 takes a pounce from Barrage. "Thanks!" is probably ripped away by the air, but hey, no problem. He moves to dodge the falling M3, only to be smashed by Slash Man! YAAAAAUGH! @.@ "Giddoff, ya dope!" > From outside, Spring Man finds himself being lapped. By several people. This is not good. He notices the scarf Guy get tripped, and looks behind him... so see an Ostrich names Overdrive. Hrm.... Acting innocently, Spring sends one of those big legs of his towards Overdrive. > From outside, Spring Man crashes forcefully into Overdrive Ostrich! > From outside, Riptide Wyvern passes Arafina with a relitavely pleasant wave, eyes scanning frontwards to try to pick out the leaders of this group. One she didn't recognize, the other she did.. And the one she did recognize wasn't doing to good, was he? For the moment, she remains silent and keeps running. Quick man -is- given the evil eye as he passes her, though. There was temptation. > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... > From outside, Way in the LEAD! YOSH!! Unfortunately... The Mitsurei's still looking backwards, by the time Barrage Raptor -slams- into him, sending him flying past Overdrive on the opposite direction in a burst of genki and pyrotechnics. Er, Really. "AAAHH!!" NO TIME FOR SILENT SPEAK NOW. Recovery is required!! STAT!! He lands on a single hand, pounces back onto his feet, and _gets moving again._ Note to self. Destroy Raptor. ._. > From outside, Dash Deinonychus puts a claw to his head, "And Quick Man SHOOTS into the lead as the top three racers are tackled from all directions! Riptide Wyvern manages to slip past the carnage and pull into second!" > From outside, Top Man's spinning tactic seems to pay off as he immediately picks up speed, "NEENER!" he shouts as he leaves his running partner in the dust, giggling as he spins as fast as his little wheels will allow. > From outside, Dawn finds that Top Man is once again pulling ahead of her, a sort of 'back and forth' now except that he's gotten a more sizable lead at this time. Only one nearby is Flare and she's not going to hit him at the moment. > From outside, Accelerator Allosaur snarls a bit, here comes the calvary. Masters ahead, masters behind, he almost chuckles to himself as Ovedrive gets hit, and then as he leaves someone else behind in his charge for a sonic boom, but he doesn't get the chance, instead he gets nailed by Centaur, causing a stagger. People just go flying by. He gains his footing again and takes off again... no crash. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich scrambles back up and starts trying to make up for lost time, suddenly tied for 4th. Scrap! All yours, Thunder.. and feets don't fail me now! > From outside, Ricochet casts an optic backwards... "*BLOOP BLEEP*" Orbit inquires... Ric nods, slowly. "Looks like it... ready to deploy?" "*BLOOP*" Ricochet slows down slightly, so as to bring himself alongside Quick Man... allowing Orbit to leap from his back, and attempt to land in Quick's face, and deposit the chewed up undies in his face. "*BLOOP BLEEP*" > From outside, Ricochet tries to ram into Quick Man, without much success. > From outside, Slash Man peers around him as he bolts away from the hit he gave Overdrive. Wow, how lucky, now he has a chance to hit another speedster. And which does he opt for? The one right next to him, of course. As he speeds up to the stumbling Mitsurei, he laughs wildly. "Hello, mysterious man! I shall smite thee and bid my brethren win!" He cackles madly again and courses towards Mitsu. > From outside, Slash Man tries to ram into Mitsurei, without much success. > From outside, Flare Feline continues to run. Don't look for any big changes in that unless someone important comes into range of a crash from him. And he certainly won't be crashing into allies. > From outside, Arafina returns the wave, slightly more cheerful; she didn't get tackled that time, after all. But dammit, she's still behind. Even Slash Man and Kalinka are a ways ahead. Glowering, she simply lowers her head and charges forward...at Overdrive Ostrich. He's not far ahead, after all; the fact that he's a lap ahead of her appears to have been forgotten. > From outside, Arafina tries to ram into Overdrive Ostrich, without much success. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops misses, but smirks as one of the Masters manages to hit her target as well. She gives the horseman a bit of a salute in thanks, and then continues on her ponderous way, waiting for someone else of worthy crashingness to get in her way. > From outside, Spring Man ponders.... Hey! That worked out good! He ponders someone else to kick. He bounds another corner, and find Riptide coming up on him. He sticks out his leg again, right towards Riptide! > From outside, Barrage Raptor just does her running thing. Nothing else to do at this point in time, ya know? She doesn't have any targets.. > From outside, Alpha hrms. Quick Man....Too far away... Still, she might be able to make things a little tough. She reddens slightly despite the blue glow. Oh dear, is she getting into the spirit of the games? Why does she feel like smashing into things like everybody else is doing? Tsk tsk. Of course, she doesn't smash into anybody. > From outside, Spring Man crashes forcefully into Riptide Wyvern! > From outside, Quick Man chuckles mentally as his brothers pick off his opponents, and suddenly he finds himself in the lead. Laughing openly now, he speeds away, not daring to try and crash anyone lest he slow down. Oh yeah, and he succeeds in avoiding a pesky crashing attempt by Ricochet. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Spring Man transmits, "*grin* Hrm... These guys trip good." > From outside, Metal Man spots flare and gets an evil intent in his mind as he makes to body check the brave repliforcer and hopefully put the kitty out of the running. "SUPERIOR MODEL ANDROID COMMING THROUGH!" > From outside, [OOC] Metal Man says, "Umm nm retcon my pose >.>" > From outside, [OOC] Metal Man says, "I thought I was in range." > From outside, [OOC] Top Man says, "You have to be one position away at a maximum." > From outside, Riptide Wyvern manages somehow to slip free of a small knot of people and make second? Wow. She asn't complaining; though she did pass up a good shot at Quick Man back there. Too bad. The wyvern squeaks in surprise as Spring Man decides to try to interfere with her running, resulting in a rather odd-looking twist-jump away from the android that allows her to avoid the foot.. but has the unpleasant side effect of landing crooked .. and pulling off a rather impressive faceplant into the dirt. "... Ow.." > From outside, Metal Man does not ram flare and just keeps runnning and he is well doing better than his attempt at the water race. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Top Man transmits, "WHEE! HEEHEE! THis is FUN! I love this race! It's the bestest 'cept fer tha car race 'cuz topsy's the best car ever!" > From outside, Small motes of pebbles on the track are _crushed_ into powder past Mitsurei as.. suddenly, Slash Man is.. MAD COURSING towards him. >. From outside, Centaur Man just maintains running for now.... wait there's Mitsuri. He's so fast, that he'll likely get a high position. As he gains speed, the hooved one takes the chance to hit him with his hooves. A nice kick from his back hooves always does nicely in races. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Quick Man transmits, "Hah, you'll have to defeat my Speed Supreme Car." > From outside, Centaur Man tries to ram into Mitsurei, without much success. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Top Man transmits, "Heehee... We c'n be 1st 'n 2nd! That's fun!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Spring Man transmits, "Guys, guys, now now! One race at a time!" > From outside, Kalinka skates right in-between the mysterious M3 and Slash -- skinny as a blue-tailed skink as she slips straight along...continuing on her way. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Theta Squad Advisor Clown Man just giggles insanely... > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... You will now hear messages on channel . > From outside, Dash Deinonychus shakes his head, "There's a lot of scuffling going on this evening... Quick Man remains in the lead, with Accelerator Allosaur barely edging out M3 and Overdrive Ostrich for second!" > From outside, Dawn finds herself falling more and more behind Top Man, which is slightly depressing. Flare's still in about the same location as before, and Quick Man zips alongside her momentarily. She...opts to not strike out, strangely. > From outside, Still not meaning to crash anyone, Accel takes a deep breath, routes it from his ion cannon systems and puts it right up into the thrusters. A nice blast of speed and he's working up to that sonic boom again. As he goes, he comes up along side Barrage! "heya!" he calls as he goes on, runrunrunrunrun. > From outside, "Hi Accel!" Barrage waves as her good friend runs by her. And...Hey wait, isn't that the dude who was beating Accel before, "Hey!" She turns to face him, "Take this!" She sticks out her tail, to catch him in the throat with it. Or so she hopes. > From outside, Barrage Raptor tries to ram into Mitsurei, without much success. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich nods at Mitsu--M3, that is, and growls a little, wishing the jet-powered dino would just.. lose an engine or somthing. He's not going to do anything about it, though, not in third place.. Die, Quick Man, Die.... > From outside, Ricochet grunts, having missed with Quick Man... "...dammit..." he glances behind him once again... "...Allosaur?..." he mutters to himself. Orbit nods. "*BLOOP BLEEP BWIP*" Orbit mutters... Ric nods. "Three, two, ONE!" With that, Orbit leaps towards Accelerator Allosaur, a pair of chewed up briefs flagging 'bout in the wind like a white flag. "*BLOOP!*" > From outside, Ricochet crashes forcefully into Accelerator Allosaur! > From outside, Top Man zips past another of his brothers as he spins along, giggling as he zooms around the track. As he skips by, an orange blur, he shouts "HIHI SLASH!" as dust kicks up behind him. > From outside, Flare Feline hmmms, Quick Man's about in range. This might be the best chance for him do to something important... It certainly doesn't look like he'll win anything this year, so he may as well be useful. All or nothing. As Quick Man comes up behind him, his leg sweeps out to trip him up. > From outside, Flare Feline tries to ram into Quick Man, without much success. > From outside, Kalinka has, through the sheer power of serendipity or divine intervention, largely avoided certain harm. Of course, many of the participants are in this race for revenge of some sort or another. Kalinka's reasons are different, and this carries in both her attitude and posture as the teen races down the track. > From outside, Metal Man just keeps on running at the speed of ... ego. > From outside, Arafina runs mightily, hair trailing behind her, bare feet sending up puffs of dust. Maybe entering barefoot was a bad idea, but last time she ran with sandals, she lost one and got to hobble a bit. This is better then that, if nothing else. > From outside, Quick Man is lucky Dawn decided to 'spare' him, but he doesn't care for that at the time. Imstead, he keeps his pace, knowing that raising it any more might cause troubles ahead. Instead he continues in his pace, and avoids another pathetic crashing attempt, this time from a Repliforcer. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops just continues to run along, because there's no one around nearby to ram into that she actually wants to. She'll just keep trudging along, and wait for someone else to lap her into range again... > From outside, Slash Man is next to 'Fina again. He turns to her and smiles. "Well, hello again little miss. Sorry about that hit before, it's just that you're so cute! In fact, you're so cute... I could just do it again! BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And he flings himself forward. Yes, forward. He doesn't bother attacking the 'Fina this time, no good reason to. "I'll pick my bone with you in the combat ring!" And he waves to Top as Top runs by. "Heya bro! Good racing! Keep going!" > From outside, Spring Man looks around to see where everyone is, and notes.... No. Spring Man isn't that mean. He isn't going to crash the little girl.... He bounces along, bounds off the stadium wall, and continues, idly tripping up a hedgehog reploid with tanks on his back.... *whistle* > From outside, Centaur Man maintains running speed for now. If he wants to help, he'll need to be where the action is, to help maintain it. Hooves come in handy, as the horsey just runs as best he can! > From outside, [OOC] Thunder Triceratops facepalms at Spring > From outside, Alpha looks around her. Oh bloody dear. She's being lapped, isn't she? She looks between the two. She doesn't know M3, but Overdrive Ostrich...Maverick, huh? Well, might as well do one for the cause, or something. Her hair turns into a...hammer?...Yep, that's right, Angie's 'hair' turns into a hammer and then swings forcefully at Ovedrive as Alpha tries to stay ahead of the evil people trying to pass her. GRR! Actually, she shouts, "Sorry!", to Overdrive even as she tries to smack him down. It seems like she really didn't want to do this, it's just..well..part of the games, right? Er...Right. > From outside, Alpha tries to ram into Overdrive Ostrich, without much success. > From outside, Riptide Wyvern picks herself back off the ground, and sprints back into the race, cursing under her breath. Sometimes it royally sucked, lacking the sheer agility her siblings had. > From outside, Bob. Weave. DUCK!! As those pistons Centaur Man calls hooves blur up.. The Mitsurei of Many Names _DROPS_, going way low onto the gronud.. and shooting -underneath- Centaur Man, one skate -blasting him forward, the other supporting him. And then _BARRAGE AGAIN?!_ NGH! However, THIS TIME, he continues to duck underneath the tail, this time- his scarf FLITS OUT, on the end of his hand, attempting to snake it's way around Barrage and _YANK THE RAPTOR TO THE GROUND. Well. Now we know what it does. > From outside, Mitsurei tries to ram into Barrage Raptor, without much success. > From outside, Quick Man has reconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has partially disconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has reconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has partially disconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has reconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has partially disconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has reconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has partially disconnected. > From outside, [OOC] Slash Man nails Quick to the MUSH. > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Problem, Quick?" > From outside, Quick Man has disconnected. > From outside, [OOC] Metal Man says, "Holy GOD C.c" > From outside, Quick Man has connected. > From outside, Quick Man has disconnected. > From outside, Quick Man has connected. > From outside, [OOC] Centaur Man says, "wow" > From outside, [OOC] Flare Feline says, "Up down, all around" > From outside, [OOC] Mitsurei says, "o_o" > From outside, [OOC] Alpha says, "Over the discon and through the woods, to grandma's house we go" > From outside, [OOC] Riptide Wyvern gets out the stapler. > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "And you thought your connection would be bad, Flare." > From outside, Quick Man has reconnected. > From outside, [OOC] Flare Feline says, "It's behaved itself so far... surprisingly" > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... > From outside, Dash Deinonychus clears his throat, "Accelerator Allosaur pulls into the lead, with Overdrive Ostrich right behind... HEY, GUYS! This is a race, not a demolition derby!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Snake Man transmits, "Ssso who'sss winning?" > From outside, Ricochet didn't run into Allosaur, after all, as his player is a dipwad who thought he was in another faction.. Rico himself, on the other hand, keeps running. > From outside, [OOC] Riptide Wyvern says, "Actually, Quick's in the lead, on lap four. z.z;;;" > From outside, [OOC] Accelerator Allosaur cough Quick, lap4, cough. > From outside, [OOC] Uranus says, "Yeah, that. I'm getting spammed." > From outside, Top Man zips along, zooming like only a spinnyone can do. Zoom zoom zoom, yeah zoom zoom. Ya zoom zoom zoom, ya zoom zoom zoom... Wait! This isn't a Mazda commercial! It's a race! Anyhoot, he zips past a couple people, and catches up with Centaur, with Spring right behind and Quick coming around to lap him, again, "HIHI BRO's!" he calls, "We're kickin' butt! WHEE!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Ring Man transmits, "It appears a 'forcer had taken the lead." > From outside, Barrage misses! But then...So does 'M3'! Barrage ducks the scarf as it tries to pull her down! "Hey! I want a piggy back ride!" She leaps up and tries to land on Mits' back, and drag him into the ground.. > From outside, Barrage Raptor crashes forcefully into Mitsurei! > From outside, Metal Man is speeding along and spys the Maverick Rival to his brother. He gets a sly grin as he moves in on the speeding bird bot with evil inent. He drops his shoulder and attempts to ram into him at about 100 kph. > From outside, Metal Man tries to ram into Overdrive Ostrich, without much success. > From outside, Don't worry, Quick Man didn't just crash into a wall 8 times... Actually, he's doing quite ok, at first place!! And still not crashing anyone, instead doing his best at running at a fast pace and trying to avoid those pesky crash attempt, meanies! >.< > From outside, Flare Feline recovers from trying to trip up Quick. Oh well, worth a shot. He waves to Accel as he passes him, well he's our best shot. He notices Overdrive coming up behind him, hmm, oh well, if Flare can't win this time, he's going to see to it that OO won't take it so easily either. He quickly stops in place and swings his foot back to trip the Ostrich up, let's hope he has more luck than when he tried to trip Quick up. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "Actually we're pretty sure Quick Man's in the lead." "Watch out for the fat chick." > From outside, Thunder Triceratops keeps on trucking along, as fast as she can, which isn't very much at all. She's so slow, people are passing her up instead, but that's the way she's planned things. Because then all the fast people catch up to her. She trots along, tail swinging back and forth behind her, and right towards Quick Man as he comes up behind her. > From outside, Flare Feline crashes forcefully into Overdrive Ostrich! > From outside, Thunder Triceratops tries to ram into Quick Man, without much success. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich dodges quickly to the side, avoiding Alpha's hair-hammer as he plunges past! He's still on Accel's tail, and getting tired of looking at that butt. He reaches out to grab Accel's tail and yank him to the ground! > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich tries to ram into Accelerator Allosaur, without much success. > From outside, Accelerator Allosaur isn't hit by a fellow temate, so when he goes running by Rico he waves toward him. That done, the dinosaur pushes, more energy, kaboom! The boom has occured. Now in a zone all his own, red optics blazing, the dinosaur surges forward as hard as he can. > From outside, Slash Man turns to the beam-toting woman at his side. "You are carrying a very large piece of metal, are you aware of that?" He laughs a bit, though at what it's hard to tell. He seems to be pleased with something. "Well, I guess I'll catch up with you later, weird beam-toting lady." He smiles brightly and propels himself forward. > From outside, Leaving Overdrive's hand with a Sonic boom instead of a tail! *BOOM* > From outside, Spring Man cheers Quick on as he is passed by the faster Master. Taking the advice from the announcer, Spring Man does not try to crash into anyone this time. He bounds and bounces along, not even showing signs of wearing out. He's done more strenious things in two hours then is is right now. *boing boing boing boing* > From outside, Arafina glances back to make sure Slash isn't too close behind her and menacing her hair or some such. Finding him safely leaving her alone for at least the moment, her head turns forward again as she returns to dashing. > From outside, Kalinka finally makes it into the second lap, and now she takes a moment to glance around. Noting the large representation of Masters, she wrinkles her nose in a bit of disgust, and turns her attentions back to the track in front of her. She skates quickly and somewhat gracefully...much more the movements of a trained ballet dancer than a roller derby queen. > From outside, Alpha was lapped. Darn. Still, she doesn't try smashing into anybody currently. This is mostly because everybody's already trying to smash into whom she'd smash into and that she wouldn't be able to smash into them from this far, right? Right! And this isn't a demolition derby, she reminds herself....No wait, that was the announcer. > From outside, Dawn continues to lose ground to the head of the pack, and suddenly near Slash Man. She's initially on-guard, turning to face him...then when she manages to gain more ground and pass him by without him trying to trip her up, she 'calms' and just reverts to racing. > From outside, Riptide Wyvern would have jumped Mitsurei-- er, M3, but it seems someone else got there first, so the wyvern slides around the piggy-back-riding raptor and her erstwile prey, still running full-speed. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Snake Man transmits, "Fat chick?" > From outside, Centaur Man looks behind him. He waves to his brother. He eyes Trike. Bad move on her part, she's just lucky she didn't hit. "Good job Quick Man." He just keeps on running. He'll just keep up, and maybe have a little fun helping to shape the destiny of the other positions, but wants to keep Quick in the lead of course. Galloping his fastest he is, for now. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Gamma CO Gemini Man transmits, "The one that missed him." > From outside, Missed. Curses. $$$.$$$ "......" (No translation. He's just being quiet.) Time to regain lost time. He pops up onto his feet... And is immediately _SLAMMED_ down again as a raptor lands forcefully on. AAAH!!! O_o The genki... however... manages to -attempt- to skate... For a good five feet, before he SLAMS into the ground. >_< ".........!!" You can tell what he's saying right?

Ring Redwing has arrived. [OOC] Ring Redwing says, "Small crowd. :D" > From outside, Well, that piggy back ride didn't go to well, "Oooh!" Overdrive is coming up, "Roasted chicken! Raah!" She leaps, aiming to land on Overdrive's back, and put him into the ground too, just like she did to 'M3'. > From outside, Barrage Raptor crashes forcefully into Overdrive Ostrich! > From outside, Quick Man is still in the lead, and still keeping his highest possible pace without it draining too much energy from his reserves. And he's still trying to avoid annoying crashing attempts. > From outside, Spring Man continues to bounce along, hoping that Scarf Guy won't try to take revenge on him for tripping him up two poses ago.... > From outside, Dash Deinonychus tsks softly, "Quick Man stays in the lead, as the rest of the speedsters are ganged upon time and again! Riptide Wyvern holds a very distant second as she's lapped by the leader, with Overdrive Ostrich holding third!" > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich twitches.. I've.. been... LAPPED??? "That's it!" he leaps forward and tries to plant his foot right in Quick Man's back, team or no, hoping to crush him into the ground! > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich tries to ram into Quick Man, without much success. > From outside, Ricochet grates his teeth quietly... optics locking on Quick Man as he runs past. Orbit tenses in Ric's back. "*BLOOP BLEEP*" He darts alongside Quick - he can't keep up with him... "...Torpedos AWAY!" Orbit leaps off of Ric's back, bringing along a torn-up pair of underwear as the little yellow fuzzball hurls himself towards Quick, attempting to land in his face and deposit his payload of underwear. > From outside, Ricochet tries to ram into Quick Man, without much success. > From outside, Top Man, interestingly enough, has yet to pass up Centaur Man. the two of them met several hundred yards ago, and now are keeping pace with one another. Smirking at his brother as he spins along, Topper tries to pour on more speed. "WHEE! Eat my dust Replipoops!" he shouts to everyone else on the track. > From outside, Slash Man turns to his side and sees his brother's most fiercesome opponent. It's an Allosaur. "Hey, speed-demon, I've always wondered what dinosaurs taste like! Mind giving me a taste?" And he rears his gait towards Accelerator, hoping to knock into him and get a bite to eat. Mmm, foood. > From outside, Slash Man crashes forcefully into Accelerator Allosaur! > From outside, Flare Feline hmmms, Arafina ahead of him, Metal Man behind, nope, no crashy attempts for Flare right now. Straight out running for the next little while. > From outside, Still in the zone, Accelerator simply continues to truck at full speed. The sound barrier still broken before him, his eyes are locked onto Quick man, though he's quite some distance off. Grr. Still, he'll do his best to keep going as fast as he can. Though, now the barrier's busted as some stupid master seends him crashing down. "Nggh," he's up and off again though, must get back that speed. > From outside, Riptide Wyvern quite suddenly.. suddenly skitters to the side, sliides over a bit, and eyes Quick Man again. Hey, didn's she get passed by him before? With an irritated grumble, the wyvern snaps at the fast-moving Master, but doesn't actually try to take him down. Why bother? As it stood, she might come in second or third, and she'd be happy with that. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich tumbles to the ground as Barrage crunches into HIM, throwing him down yet again! SIGMA DAMMIT! > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Uh, Riptide's not in second." > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Accel is." > From outside, Arafina keeps on rushing, clothes one hundred percent intact - though she did manage to drop one of the knives she'd hidden in her shorts. > From outside, [OOC] Quick Man says, "You had to tell her, huh?" > From outside, [OOC] Riptide Wyvern is in third or fourth, isn't she? > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Third." > From outside, [OOC] Uranus says, "Whatever :>" > From outside, Thunder Triceratops grrrs, clenching a fist as she misses, again. And then winces as it pulls something in her shoulder. Snarling under her breath about not being made for this, she lowers her head and keeps on stomping along. Sooner or later, some of the people have to catch up to her again at some point... > From outside, [OOC] Overdrive Ostrich says, "I'm... fourth... *twitch*" > From outside, [OOC] Top Man says, "Gotta keep up, U ;)" > From outside, Dawn finds that actually, Slash is keeping pace for now...until he goes after Accelerator. That should break the division. She keeps racing on as passively as someone with a shortened construction beam can. > From outside, Alpha looks towards Top Man and with a shrug says, "Angie, Necro... I think this is a Demolition Derby actually. It's fairly upsetting.", she pauses for a moment and then nods. Yes, might as well. She charges forward towards Top Man and says, "Sorry, Top Man...That is your name, correct?", she tilts her head as she attempts to dash next to him and then sideways to ram him towards the ground. "What is it that Rigger said? Anonymity has it's perks, I think it was. Or was that father?", she wonders out loud. > From outside, Alpha tries to ram into Top Man, without much success. > From outside, [OOC] Barrage Raptor says, "Wow, 4th seems like the place for last year's gold medalists this year.. :)" > From outside, Centaur Man continues to run... but there's Barrage. It's time for revenge! He does his best to sneak up, but she's busy laying the smackdown upon OO. A perfect chance... to get even! The horseman revs up, and horn first, rhino charges at the dino of his vengance. He must redeem himself somehow! This time it's personal! > From outside, Centaur Man crashes forcefully into Barrage Raptor! > From outside, "....!" Mi....Mitsurei's in a jam! (You gain 1000 experience points.) When Barrage vacates, 'M3' wastes -no- time in popping to his feet. Dustdustdustspeeddust. MUST REGAIN!! Mitsurei pops to his feet, and with a powerful burst of power, the Stampede is moving again! This time, he makes no mistake. He powers forward, accelerating quickly. $$$.$$$! It is time to put on the full powah. You can almost hear the intense techno music in his head. It's just like in the manga! Really! .. That scarf still doesn't seem like it's gonna move .. > From outside, Kalinka skates along, unwittingly skating alongside the mysterious 'M3'. Does she have a dirty trick or 3 up her sleeve? Perhaps. But none for M3, apparently, as she simply skates along her way...blonde hair flying back away from her face. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Snake Man transmits, "Are they running a marathon or sssomething?" Red Winged Met has arrived. Ring Redwing drops Red Winged Met with a slight, "Oof!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Top Man transmits, "YAY! YAY! WE'RE WINNING!" Red Winged Met has left. > From outside, Teleported. > From outside, Quick Man has partially disconnected. Red Winged Met has arrived. Ring Redwing drops Red Winged Met with a slight, "Oof!" Red Winged Met has left. > From outside, Red Winged Met has arrived. > From outside, Ah yes the master of ego and not so much of speed is still making a decent time as he runs about the race track. "Out of the way! Greatness comming through." > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... > From outside, Metal Man is speeding about the track as he spots someone who is on his brother's tail now we can't have this can we? Metal Man looks over Accelerator Allosaur and cackles as he makes to slam into them. "Sorry but you can't go any farther reploid scum!" > From outside, Metal Man tries to ram into Accelerator Allosaur, without much success. > From outside, Slash Man waves to Quick as he pulls up along-side. Then he turns around and peers at the Flare Feline behind him. "Ah! A wildcat! I shall smiteth thee for the glory of Wily! Thou shalt be stricken down by my greatness! Fear me, jungle cat! Tremble in your shoes!" He laughs and makes a slide right in front of Flare Feline. > From outside, Slash Man tries to ram into Flare Feline, without much success. > From outside, Barrage Raptor took down Overdrive! But at the same time, gets hit herself, "Ack!" She grumbles, and...Tries to sit down on Overdrive, "Well, hey, look, if I'm not going anywhere, why should you?" She giggles a bit to herself.. > From outside, Barrage Raptor crashes forcefully into Overdrive Ostrich! > From outside, Ricochet grates his teeth as Orbit bounces back to him. "...dammit..." he growls quietly... Top Man. "Orbit, let's do this one more time..." he mutters to the Replirat as he accelerates, trying to bring them alongside... "...one... two... THREE!" Orbit leaps off of Rico's back, attempting to ram into Top Man's face. > From outside, Ricochet tries to ram into Top Man, without much success. > From outside, Dash Deinonychus calls out, "Quick Man pulls into the final lap, with over an entire lap's lead on Accelerator Allosaur in second! Riptide Wyvern is not far behind in third, with Top Man in fourth!" > From outside, Picking up the pace much more quickly then before, pouring it into those engines at a hundred and twenty percent, when Metal comes crashing towards Accel Accel isn't there anymore. Nope, gone farther up the track. He just waggles his tail at Metal man to spite him as he keeps running. > From outside, Walking down the road.... Left Foot Right Foot Left Foot Right Foot Left Foot Right Foot... well Flare's doing more running than walking. And the pace of his feet is a tad faster than that. He notices Quick Man just ahead of him, in possible trippy range. Hmm, trippy trippy! Flare sticks his leg out and tries to trip ol Boomerang head up. Whee! > From outside, Flare Feline crashes forcefully into Quick Man! > From outside, Spring Man continues (yet again) to bounce along, occosionally shifting his stilt running with jumping. Ya know, It really is boing to run the same way all the time, ya got to vary it occosionally! *bounce bounce bounce bounce* > From outside, Arafina continues to race along. Kalinka, not too far ahead of her, gets a cheerful wave as she continues to try to keep up with the skating human. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops keeps running along and along.. and spots both that raptor up ahead, and that weird girl in the school uniform that pounded her in the team compatition. Grrr.. tough choice, but finally she decides on trying to trample on the girly, for sake of variety. > From outside, Thunder Triceratops tries to ram into Dawn, without much success. > From outside, Quick Man grins evilly as he closes in on the finish. Knowing what it also means, he makes sure to try and avoida nyone who tries to come after him. Again he decides to keep his pace instead of crashing into someone, knowing that his brothers are doing all his work for him. > From outside, Alpha sees Overdrive Ostrich again. Hrm. Not much of a chance he's going to win at this rate...And Barrage is already doing the favor. No reason to try and smash into anybody for now. Still, the announcer reminds her to keep an eye out for Quick Man. Actually, she might get a shot if she just keeps running this time around. > From outside, Overdrive Ostrich staggers up, the world seeming against him. or maybe just EVER OTHER FLAKKING RACER HERE! And he's crashed down again by Barrage. "GET OFF OF ME!" he screeches, taking a swing at her as he desperately tries to make up his two-lap deficit. > From outside, Top Man pulls past another bunch of people, lapping here and there as he leaps into fourth place, looking forward, top begins to pull the speedskating thing again as he grins broadly "I'm gonna do it! I c'n make it! I'm gonna get inta a place! WHEE!" he shouts as he hops once, going surprisingly high as he allows Ricochet to swish directly under him. Top continues on his way, speedskating along, not even noticing that Ric tried anything. > From outside, And on and on Kalinka goes. Were this a race of teens on skates, she'd probably be up near the front. As she spots Arafina, the younger Cossack grins briefly, giving Fina a thumbs-up. > From outside, [OOC] Quick Man says, "Err..." > From outside, Dawn dashes along peacefully enough still. When Thunder tries to stop her from passing, she rolls along the ground, holding the beam to the side facing Thunder. A good defensive manuver; she 'glides' up to her feet and keeps running. > From outside, Well, nobody is perfect, and Quick Man is hit... > From outside, Riptide Wyvern is still running, yesh. And as Allosaur pulls ahead when Quick Man is hit, the smaller Repliforcer hits top speed, with that lovely ear-shattering boom of breaking the sound barrier. For the moment. Watch, her luck will change soon enough. > From outside, Centaur Man conntinues to run. He's not gonna stand near barrage as she busily tries to make some birdy delight. In fact, he wants to stay as far away from her as possible at this rate. He gallops into the sunset... err wait, just around the track. The green bronco just runs! > From outside, Look at it this way Overdrive. They crash you because they fear you. Mitsurei himself seems oddly disinclined to pull any of his tricks yet. A certain look is cast around. Eternally cool. Oh yeah. He looks good. Real good. Never mind he's developed a raptor-phobia within the past 6 or so minutes. c.c;; Not anywhere around. Good. It's safe to move. He skates relatively alone in his immediate area this time -pressing- up his speed... accelerating powerfully! $$$.$$$ At least he's safe. ... From raptors anyway. THat bouncy guy behind him is frightening. c.C > From outside, The racers speed around the track.... Upper Nile The Nile River is the second longest stretch of river on the planet, and the only one to flow upstream instead of down. A natural wonder to the Ancient Egyptians, and an attraction to extraterrestial life whom visited the Egyptians unknown numbers of times pre-BC.

[OOC] Zero says, "I don't really want it to get any bigger than this, otherwise it'll never end. :D" [OOC] Ring Man says, "that's fine. I think some are just watching." [OOC] Gemini Man says, "Well, I'm not participating: I don't expect I'll be logged on much longer." [OOC] Snake Man will be here ICly, but may not participate in the battle [OOC] Plant Man is here to participate . . but if it boils down to a fight, Planty's more likely to hide. ;) [OOC] Gemini Man says, "Should allow Ballade in, though: he asked if he could" [OOC] Zero says, "oh well that's fine" [OOC] Zero says, "if Balls shows up, there might not be a fight after all :D" [OOC] Zero says, "Zero likes Ballade :D" [OOC] Plant Man says, "Reee! ^^" And, through perhaps the only truly undetectable mode of transport, Protoman materializes in Zero's path, looking straight back towards him as he materializes from a beam of crimson light. With his arms crossed -- As if he intended to form a barrier to impede Zero's path -- The silent Hunter speaks up once, clearing his throat. "Homesick?" Dripping with sarcasm, the Red Bomber looks around the area. Soon, they'd both be picked up by radar... And then things would get interesting. "Or are you just hungry, hmmm?" With a mocking tone to his voice, Protoman scowls a bit, looking around. [OOC] Sewa says, "eee!" [OOC] Clown Man says, "...Zero x Ballade Yaoi? I always knew..." [OOC] Sewa hide hide hide! [OOC] Blues says, "Same with Blues, actually. Except for one thing: Blues may not mind Ballade, but Ballade is a Robot Master. Hence, he gets to die a brutal death." [OOC] Gemini Man hates Ballade. You guys want him? Of course, not all Robot Masters are inside the base . . there's a few out and about. One in particular, all nice and gaudy-looking like they all are. Its poking around the edge of the delta, not too far from the hidden base . . . not that it has any clear idea where THAT is. Muttering quietly to itself, back towards any of the approachers, is Plant. Collecting bio-matter samples. [OOC] Snake Man doesn't mind [OOC] Gemini Man says, "Doesn't mind Ballade, or doesn't mind giving him up?" [OOC] Ring Man says, "Eh?" [OOC] Snake Man doesn't care if Ballade is here or not [OOC] Plant Man doesna mind either way. Snake Man is wandering around with Plant, enjoying the sunshine and looking for indigenious reptile species. Zero snorts flicks his hair back as Blues appears in front of him and snorts, "Since when has anything I've done been any of your god damned business Protoman?" Zero then throws on a rather cocky smile and starts walking again, stepping around the other red hunter, "If you wanna stick around and see what happens, feel free, but don't get in my way. Otherwise you'll end up in pieces like the last time you overstepped your bounds with me." Zero then lets out a slight groan of disapproval, "Honestly, I'm a tad disappointed, I've been walking for hours now, and not a single peep out of the Masters, I was hoping for a little fun, I guess they're all off playing in those silly games." Off on a nearby small hill, a Clown in Love decides how to write down his feelings for a certain Pegasus... "'Show? Would Hip Hop style Rapping be okay?" "No." "That's what I thought." Crash Man arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Crash Man has arrived. [OOC] Crash Man slurps a pepsi and waves. [OOC] Sewa hugs Crash Man. [OOC] Plant Man says, "O Silly One. This may be too big a scene already." [OOC] Zero noogs Crash :D [OOC] Zero says, "nah, Crash is cool :D" [OOC] Zero says, "Zero likes Crash too :D" [OOC] Crash Man bahs. He crashes parties. It's what he does. [OOC] Crash Man gropes Sewa to see if she's grown any boobs yet. [OOC] Zero facepalms. [OOC] Gemini Man says, "NO, Crash." [OOC] Plant Man facepalms. [OOC] Gemini Man says, "Sadly. We'll have to wait until she's upgraded. ;)" [OOC] Snake Man says, "That's our Crash: oversexed drunken frat boy" [OOC] Crash Man hms. "Point. Let's set her up on a date with ERWIN. "Tch, security here is looser than Synth." Keeping himself as a rather uncouth barrier between Zero and progress, Protoman stares at him coldly, eyes invisible from behind his visor. "And I don't give a rat's ass about what you do, Zero. But I think we're both hungry, Zero. And our appetites want only one thing." He seems to be suggesting, quite blatantly, a little bit of havoc. "And any time you wanna come, just bring it, blondie." Turning his back, Protoman walks forward a few paces, looking around. He's said quite a bit -- When he has something to say, Protoman can actually be somewhat vocal. But other than that, he seems to be walking forward, just as Zero was. [OOC] Crash Man says, "...Yeah, that Synth sure is lose. She was flirting with ME." [OOC] Blues says, "And me!" [OOC] Clown Man says, "Gah! What are you during the Maverick Jai-- I mean Britney Sp-- I mean Sewa?!" [OOC] Crash Man gasps and clings to Blues. "Honey! I thought you'd never come back! I knew you loved me!" [OOC] Blues stabs Crash Man in the face with an axe. [OOC] Crash Man says, "...Er... I mean... You dang traitor you!" [OOC] Gemini Man says, "Eh, gotta go. Byee..." Gemini Man has disconnected. A rather good article on a hostile takeover is disrupted by a beeping on Ring Man's computer. There's been a proximity alert. Pulling up a screen he checks on hsi brother's locations and finds, that several have wandered into his backyard. Strange, the Upper Nile is usually desolate, like no one ever comes here, heck not even his own squad mates. Thinking that it must have been his fool sibilings that set off the alarms he puts down his paper and makes his way out of the building without checking the scanners closer. Had he he might have noted the presence of the hunters, but alas he did not. He makes his way out to see what Plant and Snake are doing in his neck of the woods, or river, or whatever. Snake Man tails a rather large viper, holding it up by the rear end with the head on the ground. It seems strangely placid, and after a moment, he picks it up and loops it around his neck, along with a few other serpents he's already collected. o O (I'm, too sexy for my snakes, too sexy for my snakes, so sexy they break... o/~) [OOC] Blues says, "..." Plant Man looks up as Snake adds yet /another/ legless reptile to his collection . . "I do hope you don't intend to keep them in the Biosphere, bro . . you've already maxed out what it can hold." A faint smirk, as it hops across a couple of sandbars to check a purple-blossomed water lily. "And I'm /not/ letting them live in my shop." [OOC] Crash Man will behave now. Honest. [OOC] Plant Man says, "Evil." [OOC] Ring Man says, "what?" Zero chuckles, "For once, Protoman, I agree. But I think we'd both be better off saving our bloodlust for the Masters... Rock will have both our hides if he finds out we got into another fight." Zero then chuckles it off as he keeps on walking, "Jeez..." he kicks some sand as he comes to a stop, kneeling down by the riverbank and grabing a small pebble, skipping it a few times along the river, "Next time I'll just have to let them know I'm coming ahead of time." [OOC] Snake Man fwhaps whoever did that :) [OOC] Ring Man says, "who did what snake?" Snake Man shakes his head at Plant. "Nah, thessse are poisssonousss. Ballade would have a hisssyfit, sssinssce they would be dangerousss to the Massster. I'll releassse them when I'm done." Ring Man walks up behind Plant and Snake, "Maybe you should put it in Gem's room." He says simply before anouncing his presence. "So tell me, what are you two doing here setting off my base alarms for?" Plant Man chuckles as it crouches by the flower, noting all of the blossoming differences . . . nearly jumping when Ring shows up. "Ring, why would /we/ set off the alarms? Aren't they tuned to non-masters?" Protoman turns to Zero, an arrogant grin crossing his face. "... There's an idea." With that, he looks around the area, then back to Zero. "Tch. Don't think I'm working 'with you' or anything. But what say we blow up some stuff? If we happen to kill some Masters at the same time and in the same area... So be it." He didn't care to work with Zero, at all -- So he wasn't. But attacking at the same time just happened to make things much, much, more interesting. Already, the Protobuster can be heard charging up, a high-pitched squeal in an otherwise silent area. Aaah, nothing like a day of sunning by a river and having a nice, cold six pack. The first Crash had had in awhile. A really, really long while. He'd found a nice, desolate place where some trees actually grew to shade him from the sun to partake in the alcoholic goodness, away from prying eyes of his brothers. A spot he can truely revel in the drink he'd actually been cutting back on imbibing for a long, long while. Not since St. Patricks Day. o O (Oh yeah, baby... So slim, so sleek... Quench my thirst. Mmmyeah.) Just as he's lifting the first can to take a long swig of it's contents, some shmuck has to go and throw a rock across the riverbank. It glances off the can with a *ka-tink!* and rebounds right into Crash's face. To compound matters the sharp edge of the rock made a hole in the side of the can that allows the beer to trickle out. "....Unless you're an elite, I'm gonna rip your face off in five seconds, rock-boy." [OOC] Crash Man interposes himself too. *whistle* [OOC] Plant Man snickers. :D Snake Man turns towards Ring and gives him a nod. Not much escapes Snake's attention, including his approach. "Maybe I'll get a rubber one later. I'd be worried about him ssstepping on it by assccident." Ring Man turns to Plant "You'd be surprozed how paranoid Skull and Pharoah can be at times. Still you are correct your presence should not have set them off." Looking over to the only thing around here that could be considered a target, Bright Man's dummy factories he mumbles "hm... I wonder..." [OOC] Ring Man says, "er surprised" Clown Man ahems and tries this out, "Right. Let's see -- o/- Yo My Beatiful Maverick Girl, Oh how you rock my world, I would like to give Chocolate Covered Human Skull to show that your mine... -/o" Sideshow... just SHUDDERS. Before peering off to the side. "Um, Clown is Wily having Jerry Springer the Tenth over for a 'Family Reunion Special From Hell' on his show?" Clown blinks. "No. Why?" "Oh, nothing. Protofreak and Zerofreak are here, that's all." Clown blinks and offers a thumbs up. "Oh. Okay. Cool." The little Clown states in Hunter's (Road Rovers) voice. Plant Man shrugs lightly, standing up and putting away the vials with samples already taken. "Oh, I've got an idea . . I've had to repair them enough times, after all." Frowning faintly, it looks around . . and spots something. "Erk . . look over there." Pointing: Zero And ProtoMan. "Hairboy and The Sunglasses Freak." [OOC] Ring Man says, "an so it begins!" [OOC] Crash Man says, "If any of you mention me having a crush on Roll, you die." [OOC] Clown Man says, "Mortal KOMBAT!!!" [OOC] Plant Man says, "Mortal Wombat." Sewa has disconnected. [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Centaur Man transmits, "Well done brother! You have brought greatness to the herd today!" Snake Man doesn't need to shade his eyes against the desert sun, as the overhang on the front of his helmet serves that purpose perfectly. He squints, "Yup. It sure isss. Should we take cover before they get here?" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Top Man transmits, "WHEE! Cocoa 'n cookies at home f'r everyone! YAY!" Sewa has connected. $$$$$$ Battle and Chase $$$$$$ Message: 22/55 Posted Author Foot race Fri Jun 07 Uranus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gold: Quick Man Silver: Accelerator Allosaur Bronze: M3 (AKA Mitsurei) 4: Overdrive Ostrich 5: Top Man 6: Riptide Wyvern 7: Dawn 8: Flare Feline, Metal Man, Centaur Man 11: Ricochet 12: Barrage Raptor 13: Spring Man 14: Angie (AKA Alpha) 15: Arafina 16: Kalinka 17: Thunder Triceratops 18: Slash Man $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Quick Man transmits, "It was all thanks to you!

"Break Man's vison has enhanced sensors does it not? An ambush would probably not be sucessful... but rushing at them ain't exactly my idea of a good evening either..." Zero chuckles as he hears Crash's voice and calls right back, "I used to be an Elite, does that count? Hell, I used to be the Force Commander, but since I'm not anymore, what the f*** are you gonna do about it Crash?" Zero then turns his head to the side to say to Blues, "You hear that Protoman, little Crash Man thinks he's gonna do somethin about it. At least we know the kids are gonna come out and play now." Zero then reaches for his sabre, but doesn't ignite it just yet, he just stands there in silence for a minute before screaming, "COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! I KNOW THERE'S MORE OF YOU SILLY BASTARDS OUT THERE, MAY AS WELL COME ON OUT CUZ YOU DON'T WANT ME COMING TO FIND YOU!" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Quick Man transmits, "Maybe this proves Spring Man's theory that working out does make you a winner. *snicker*" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Centaur Man transmits, "Indeed, like I said, united we stand tall, and reach out to victory." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Plant Man transmits, "Trouble devloping at the Upper Nile. Break Man and Zero are apparently in a mood to fight." [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Spring Man transmits, "Well, of course, Silly!" [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Spring Man transmits, ".... Did you tell them that the B and C tournment is on, and that they can't fight?" [OOC] Ring Man typed about the same message as Plant just sent over the radio and was JUST about to hit enter.... [OOC] Sewa says, "dun dun dun" [Radio: (D) Global] Snake Man transmits, "Hey Zero, isss that your hair, or did Roll'sss cat barf on your head?" [Radio: (D) Global] Alpha transmits, "Roll has a cat?" [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Ring Man transmits, "This isn't on B&C grounds you fool this has nothing to do with B&C..." [OOC] Plant Man wags her eyebrows. 78 WPM typing speed. [Radio: (D) Global] Iris transmits, "Don't you dare mock Zero!" Blues smirks slightly, breaking his grim posture for a moment. "I'm not saving your ass, so don't get killed, or Rock might cry." With that, he turns slightly, looking to pick out the nearest Robot Master or other valuable target -- He didn't care for Zero's taunting games. He had business to get down to, and he wasn't gonna get to it by yelling and screaming. He had better things to do, after al. [Radio: (D) Global] Wire Sponge transmits, "A little from column A, a little from column B." Clown Man Well, Zero ask for it... and he's going to get it. Two Mysterious Spotlights suddenly turn on, to sillouette... a long armed man and a monkey. Cue the Theme! "PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!!!" "AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!!!" "TO DEFEND AGAINST THE EVILS OF TRUTH AND LOVE!!!" "TO UNITE ALL UNDER WILY'S NATION!!!" "TO EXTEND WILY'S MIGHT TO THE STARS ABOVE!!!" "CLOWN MAN!!!" "SIDESHOW!!!" "TEAM CLOWN IS READY TO FIGHT!!!" "SURRENDER NOW OR PREPARE TO DIE WITH LAUGHTER!!!" "Meowth, That's Right!!!" And Team Clown smirks at Protoman and Zero. ^^ [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Spring Man transmits, "... Worth a shot." [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "I think her cat is named Tango or somethin'." [Radio: (D) Global] Wire Sponge transmits, "You know: it's a hairball Roll's cat spat up." Crash Man slowly glances towards his leaking can as Zero calls back across the river. For a moment he just stares at it, before lifting it to lock his lips around the hole to suck out at least a few swigs. A taste was better than allowing it all to go to waste. His free hand yanks two more beers free from the sixpack, which are promptly thrown over in the direction of the Hunter's voice blindly. Satisfied, he abandons the rest, as well as the leaky can to stand and squint across the river at the pair. "Hnn. Zero? That you? Nice to see you finally admited your sexual preference to yourself. The boob job's done wonders to make you look less like a dog, sister. Maybe you ought to try some makeup next." [Radio: (D) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "It's alright Iris... Snake Man is just jealous of Zero's hair. And if I had a slimy snake tail for hair, I would too." [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Zero is a tratior." [Radio: (D) Global] Clown Man transmits, "Zero is a freak and a traitor." [Radio: (D) Global] Top Man transmits, "Zero's a jerkyhead!" First it's Zero braggin, Crash Swearing, and Proto looking more than menaching . . but that takes the cake. 'Team Clown'?! Groaning, Plant drops its head in its hands. "We're all gonna die . . " A quick broadcast, and its slowly heading over to the bank Zero and Proto are on, quite resigned of expression. Its gonna die. How depressing. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Plant Man transmits, " . . . I am /so/ doomed." Snake Man simply takes cover behind a sand dune, shaking off his passengers. He doesn't want to risk them in a fight that's almost sure to come. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Clown Man transmits, "Thank you, Rattrap." [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "There is nothing worse in thie world than a tratior." [Radio: (D) Global] Plant Man transmits, "Top, by the way, a reminder Quick and you that you are to STAY OUT OF THE BOOZE STORED IN THE BIOSPHERE." Ring Man snaps his wrist in an unnatural and painful looking motion with sickening speed, when it comes to a halt one of his razor sharp golden circles of death (tm) rests in his hand. "Put them down, as quickly as possible." He says before striding off. He is after all a ranking officer and this is HIS backyard. He runs towards the pair and stops far enough away to hopefully be able to dodge any of Break Man's blasts, but close enough for the aforementioned Break Man to be in range of his deadly rings "What are you doing here?" He asks not really expecting an answer. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Plant Man transmits, "Better Rattrap that Cheetor." [Radio: (D) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Like Wily betrayed Light?" [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "Booze? Yuck! It's plan COFFEE!(TM) for me!" [Radio: (D) Global] Plant Man transmits, "I locked that up too." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Snake Man transmits, "Who'sss in the North Africa region?" [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "... You did? Why?" [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Light stole Wily's work!" [OOC] Crash Man idles a minute due to phone. *shudder* [Radio: (D) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "They worked together. Then Wily got mad because Light got the attention." [OOC] Crash Man says, "...I really wish people would, you know, say who they are in the first place?" [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "Come on people, lighten up! Bask in my glory! Go do whatever peacful things you can do! Did I mention bask in my glory?" [OOC] Plant Man will return shortly. [OOC] Crash Man is stuck trying to figure out if it's the guy he avoids, or the guy he likes hanging out with. Anyway. [Radio: (D) Global] Top Man transmits, "Dad did better without poopyhead Light anyhoot! He made US after he left Mr. Poopyhead!" [Radio: (D) Global] Clown Man transmits, "Exactly." [Radio: (D) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "I'd rather bask in Quint's glory." [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Ya I have the honor of being the first bot Wily built wityh out light." [Radio: (D) Global] Egocentric? ME?! Quint transmits, "As you should." [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "Well, aslong as you admit that we RMs are glorious, then go ahead!" [Radio: (D) Global] Thunder Triceratops transmits, "That explains a lot.. Good thing they got better after you" [Radio: (D) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "That's /hurting/ your case, not helping. And Quick Man, just know one simple fact. I know what you did now from one of your bros.... And you're going to pay, bottom line." [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "Oh sorry Jet, what are you gonna do, throw your torpedos at me? I'm so scared, just as I was last time you ran away from me!" Zero just facepalms at Clown's display, and then looks over at Crash and gives him the 'come get some gesture' as he ignites his sabre, slowly dropping down into a defensive stance, "Come one come all, there's plenty of ass whoopin to go around!" [OOC] Zero, notes, if you can't tell from the pose, is open to being ganged up on [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "The Reploid trash ain't worth it. I mean think about who their neureal nets are based on. Good old Mega Geek. Come on thats scraping the botton of the barrel." [OOC] Snake Man is going to take Proto. Zero has all the blade attacks, and besides, I owe him one ;) Blues scowls at Ring Man, slowly stalking towards him. "I'm here to rip you to pieces, automaton." Leaving the Protoshield safely attached to his back, Protoman trains the Proto Buster right onto the acting Delta Leader, continuing to move forward without delay or regard to his own safety (or Zero's, for that matter.) He, too, is likely to become outnumbered. [Radio: (D) Global] Alpha transmits, "...Is somethingg the matter?" [OOC] Crash Man thinks of something evil to do. Real evil. [OOC] Ring Man says, "Everyone attack ready now?" [Radio: (D) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Nice to know that you think that fighting pointless battles where civilians could get hurt is cool. But by the time I'm through with you, Quick, you will be scared... But that's okay, dude, you can live in denial anyway. That's what the Robot Masters do best anyway." [OOC] Clown Man joins Snakey on his Protohunt. I owe him from the last time Clown and Proto fight. Clown got Big Banged. :o [Radio: (D) Global] Toad Man transmits, "I think you like rotten beef carcasses" [OOC] Blues says, "Cool. :)" [OOC] Plant Man is going for zero. [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Reaaaaally. Is that so." [Radio: (D) Global] Alpha transmits, "Jet Stingray, correct?" [Radio: (D) Global] Toad Man transmits, "I bet you dream about them in your sleep" [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "*snickering*" [OOC] Ring Man says, "wait do I have ANY backup? oh god" [OOC] Crash Man thinks he'll bow out, as it turns out that was Pisces and not who he was fearing. RL interaction good. [Radio: (D) Global] Toad Man transmits, "I bet you dream about rotted beef carcasses, and wake up in a pool of warm mechfluid" [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "I think Chickenray that you're the one in denial." [OOC] Zero says, "later Crash" [OOC] Zero says, "so who's that leave on me?" [OOC] Blues says, "Plant and Ring?" [OOC] Clown Man says, "Planty and Ringy." [OOC] Crash Man prepares a parting shot! [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "No kiddin', bro. And what do you do best, Stingray?" [OOC] Clown Man says, "I think." [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man transmits, "But as you wish. We'll meet at another day, another time, and then I'll show you why I got first place in the foot race." [OOC] Ring Man says, "I'm on Proto" [OOC] Blues says, "Hmm. Well, Snake, wanna switch to Zero to keep it even?" Snake Man finally shakes off all his snakes, and watches as they disappear into the sand. "Later guysss. I've got busssinesss to attend to." Then he drops to all fours and runs across the back of the dune, trying to flank Proto and get behind him. [OOC] Blues says, "Well... Equally uneven, anyways?" [OOC] Blues says, "Or I can take three on, either or. :)" [OOC] Snake Man isn't likely to want to fight Zero if he can ICly pick the target. Zero has the saber, and Snake is blade weak [Radio: (D) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Yeah, Jet Stingray. And how cute, another one with lewd dialoge speaks. And what do I do best? Racing. The only reason why I lost the Battle and Chase is because real racers aren't uncool enough to crash into other people." [OOC] Clown Man could fight Zero, if you want. [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Aha. Ha. Ha." [OOC] Blues says, "I can take three on, if you want revenge, Clown. :)" [Radio: (D) Global] Quick Man snickers at Jet, "Would you like to nkow that /I/ didn't crash into anybody, and still won the race? [Radio: (D) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Odd i thought it was your forcers who had become terrorists as of late." [OOC] Clown Man says, "I can wait until next time." [OOC] Blues says, "'Kay." [OOC] Ring Man says, "so we dance?" [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Arrestin' harmless kids. No kiddin', what's wrong with you people?" [Radio: (D) Global] Alpha transmits, "Oh. I thought you let the competition win. ... Crashing seems to be part of the event, however, so part of the games, I suppose, is to try not to get run over as well." [OOC] Blues says, "Sure." Crash Man glances at Zero before looking towards the other Masters heading in to gang up on him. He could fight. But... Nah. He wasn't in the mood tonight. So, with a sneer, he calls out loudly, "Some other time, girlie-bot. By the way, did Break Man ever find out about you playing kissy-face with Roll?" Does he wait for an answer? ...Heck no! He's already gone. [Radio: (D) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "So? That's how I won the last race. It isn't about crashing into people, it's about who crashes into you. And as for terrorists? Far from it." [Radio: (D) Global] Snake Man transmits, "Zero's playing kisssy fassce with Roll?" [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Ooh, thanks for the wisdom, Master Stingray." [OOC] Zero says, "I could call out Bass if y'all wanna stick on Blues" [OOC] Zero says, "that is, if Bass is man enough" [Radio: (D) Global] Alpha transmits, "It's about the Forces of Earth working together against a common threat, good sportsmanship, and comradery." Clown Man overhears Crash... and eyes Zero, then Protoman, then Zero once more. "Well, I always known the Hunters are severly inbred, but I have NO idea..." He snickers for a moment before eyeing Zero... while Sideshow makes sure any Civilians are safely out of harms way. "So, are you going leave are you ready to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" He cackles... ...Just like the Joker, oddly enough. [Radio: (D) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "What? Oh. Uhuh." [OOC] Sewa says, "poor Zero and Blues :(" [Radio: (D) Global] Toad Man transmits, "Like are you persecuting good sportsmen and comrades?" [Radio: (D) Global] Toad Man transmits, "Like this is mother****ing Toad Man, I'm the best sport in the world, and I'm a goddamned Comrade YO! Not like the vodka swilling bearded militant Cossack. Don't make me use lethal maneovres" [OOC] Snake Man says, "We could call out Bass if you want. Snake isn't likely to switch targets" [OOC] Zero says, "ask him if he wants to join" [OOC] Clown Man says, "If he says yes, I'm going back to Proto." [OOC] Snake Man asks him [OOC] Ring Man says, "sooooooo Blues, your attack ready right?" [OOC] Blues says, "Bring it on." [OOC] Ring Man's first e-ringing... joy [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Snake Man transmits, "Huntersss in North Africa, Zero and Bluesss. Could ussse sssome heavy firepower asssissstanssce" Ring Man narrows his eyes at the eldest of all of Wily's endevors. "You can try, Break Man, but I believe come tonight it will be your parts on the auction block, not mine." Is he stupid? Not particularly. Is he insane? No. Does he know that if Bass finds out that Blues and Zero came into his area when he was on duty he'll be dead anyway? Yes. Certainty of one's own demise is amazingly freeing. Leaping into the air he flicks his wrist and sends the golden ring flying at Blues! [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Bass transmits, "You're kidding, right?" Ring Man strikes Blues with his Surgical Strike attack. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Clown Man transmits, "Nope." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Tengu Man transmits, "Oooh, on my way." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Bass transmits, "I'll handle this." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Bass transmits, "You just go back to folding origami, Tengu Man." Protoman pays little heed to Crash Man -- Zero knows better than to touch Roll. After all... Even Rock would probably shoot him for that, and Rock liked him more than anyone. Except maybe Iris. Stalking towards Ring Man with all the malice of a madman, Protoman's arm snaps up like lightning, trained directly on the Delta Leader before firing off a volley of shots. As soon as the bolts leave the Buster, Proto dashes forward, dropping his right arm to his side as he comes up on the Masters with lightning speed - Already starting evasive movements, but unaware of Snake behind him. As the ring skims across his arms, Protoman breaks out his shield, charging Ring Man's position. He doesn't seem interested in letting him get off another shot. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Toad Man transmits, "Zero... In BIG BABY JESUS' TURF?" Blues strikes Ring Man with his Proto Buster attack. Plant Man sighs, as it hops up onto the bankside that Zero's on . . a bit out of sabre range, as is only proper for hopefully extending one's survival. And promptly makes a face. "Incest. How lovely." With a sigh, it points its blaster towards Zero. "Dead set on turning all of us into slag?" Instead of battle-fury, it just sounds . . tired? Blues puts his guard up. Bass arrives from the Sky Above Nile Region. Bass has arrived. [OOC] Sewa says, "Of course, Iris would kill Zero for touching Roll too" [OOC] Zero says, "it's not incest, I'm a Wily, not a Light :D" [OOC] Ring Man says, "is the XO not CO just fyi $$$)" [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Tengu Man snaps his fingers. "Shoo-- ...yes, Bass." [OOC] Plant Man giggles. :D [OOC] Bass says, "And Zeus did come down from the mountain, and his wrath was plentiful and highly, highly sex-filled." [OOC] Crash Man says, "..Where? I mean, uh..." [OOC] Blues says, "Yeah, but the CO isn't around, Ring." [OOC] Crash Man latches onto Bassilicious. Mrowl. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Toad Man transmits, "THis is the house that Toad built! No one gave him permission. Someone bend him over in time for me to **** ****** ** **** ********** *********** ************ ************ ************ ******* *** ******** *********** ****** ******* ** *********** *************" [OOC] Clown Man says, "Nice mental image. Zero as Zeus. KILL ME." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Bass transmits, "Shut up." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Toad Man transmits, "Yeah, shut up Tengu, go sharpen your nose." [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Tengu Man transmits, "HA! I think I will." Snake Man reaches the end of the dune, and takes a look at the scene. Sure enough, Proto is focused on Ring Man. The reptile smirks to himself, and takes aim at the Hunter's back... Snake Man misses Blues with his Snake Cutter attack. Blues deflects Snake Cutter from Snake Man. Toad Man arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Toad Man has arrived. Zero just stands there, alone on the riverbank, sword held down to his side, ignited and sparking here and there, "Well isn't this just great, Protoman gets all the fun, and I'm left here all by my lonesome. What a crock... but I guess it's too be expected, no one is ever man enough to stand up to me, at least amongst my sibs." He grunts, turning around and shrugging, intending to leave Blues to his fun and heading back home. [OOC] Toad Man says, "NO ONE BUT NO ONE MESSES WITH THE HOUSE THAT LARS, er TOAD BUILT!" [OOC] Plant Man says, "Ahem . . ." [OOC] Crash Man kills Toad. Verily. Flash Man arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Flash Man has arrived. [OOC] Plant Man /is/ right in front of you, Zero. [OOC] Zero says, "... oh" [OOC] Zero says, "i thought you ran off with Blues, my bad" [OOC] Bass applauds. :> [OOC] Zero says, "well hell, ignore that pose" [OOC] Plant Man smackies! [OOC] Clown Man is sorta in front of you, too. Zero stares blankly at Plant and chuckles, "Incest? Hardly, ironic that this is the second day in a row that someone has assumed I'm a Light, when I always thought it was pretty obvious that I'm a Wilykid, just like you freaks." Zero then points his sabre at Planty and grins, "As for turning you into slag, that's up to you, you could always just run, I won't mind." [OOC] Ring Man says, "Uh, whose turn is it in our fight? Blues right?" Blues sends a radio transmission. [OOC] Blues says, "Not sure." Flash Man is....ah, backup reinforcements. Far in the distance. Not near the battle yet in any way. :P [OOC] Zero looks to Blues, "If we pull this off..." Plant Man sighs faintly, looking even further depressed. "Unfortunately . . in this, it's be slagged by you, or be slagged by Bass. . . and was not Roll created by Light and Wily together?" Treble has arrived. Bass drops Treble. Breaking in from the skies above Egypt -- and simply heading towards the southern areas of the country at a rather impressive rate -- the Dark Knight is quite intent on making his presence felt. Assuming, of course, that the would-be bastions of light and goodness don't simply scurry away before he can arrive. Bass flies in, standing in proper position on the back of his faithful companion, Treble, the mechawolf's thrusters flaring brightly in his intense effort to see to it that the master arrives with all due speed, and shortly at that. Bass grinds his teeth together. [OOC] Ring Man kills the guest and pub channels... "Flash i think we declared the scene closed, sorry man." [OOC] Toad Man says, "If you two pull it off, I'm not reattaching it" [OOC] Flash Man says, "That's okay, I'm just watching it, that's why I posed bein gfar, far away. :)" [OOC] Blues says, "Right. But we can make an exception for Bass because he's an EFC, and thereby better than the normal characters? :)" [OOC] Crash Man gnars on Blues' head. [OOC] Bass says, "Yes. :>" [OOC] Blues says, "Posing, Ringer?" [OOC] Snake Man says, "Can we break the fight up into different rooms?" [OOC] Ring Man says, "so blues should I pose my next attack or will you be reacting to snake first?" [OOC] Blues says, "You go. I'll do it all in one go." [OOC] Bass says, "Just keep it in mind, we're approaching, it'll take time. Use that time wisely. :>" [OOC] Crash Man returns to OOCness. Crash Man has left. Zero receives a radio transmission from Iris. [Radio: (D) Global] Plant Man transmits, "" [Radio: (D) Global] Sewa transmits, "" Bass changes into his Bass armor. [Radio: (D) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "" Plant Man sends a radio transmission to Iris. [Radio: (D) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, ">"<" Zero sends a radio transmission. [Radio: (D) Global] Sewa transmits, "OOC: >"< you say? You do not know what >"< is!! O_O O_O O_O!" Upon seeing the Robot Masters answer to Samuel L. Jackson -- BASS -- arrive, Clown breaks off on his attack run on Zero and heads for Protofreak. He has a longer history with the older Android. Espically considering he was E-Ringed painfully by him. And over a _Pie in the face._ Sheesh. Clown doesn't attack, however... waiting for Prot to make the first move... and mistake. [OOC] Blues waits on Ring. Ring Man takes Blue's shot straight in the chest. It stings like a $@&$*! Nearly rendering his armor totally useless there's a sizable dent and scorching in the center of his form. Landing hard, but on his feet Ring is in a lot of pain already. Snapping his fingers he pulls a stack of Mini$$$rings out of seemingly nowhere, glancing up to the skies he sees Bass has come, a frown forms behind his faceplate before he turns back to Blues and releases the dread tiny round razors in a hail of... ringiness! Ring Man misses Blues with his Mini Rings attack. Protoman, it seems, isn't just focused on Ring Man. Spinning around in a dervish, Protoman deflects the Snake Cutter with the surface of his shield before coming twisting back around to face Ring Man and firing off a focused stream of energy from his Buster, up into his foe. Looks like his plate was almost full with just these two -- How many can he take on? Certainly not too great a number.... Lunging forward and rolling across the ground, Protoman gets out of the way of the razor-sharp rings before looking over his shoulder, taking stock of his other threats. One at a time... Blues strikes Ring Man with his Proto Buster 2 attack. Snake Man hisses in annoyance, thinking back to his last matchup with Protoman. He really hopes that it isn't going to go the same way this time. Just as Proto turns back to fire at Ring, the snake's head jerks as he unloads a jet of venom at those huge sunglasses... Snake Man misses Blues with his Venom Spit attack. Blues deflects Venom Spit from Snake Man. Zero eyes Planty, "Semantics, regardless, I never kissed Roll, at least not that I remember." he says with a wry smile, "But have it your way, you can make the first move, I like to give my training dummies a head start to keep it interesting." Zero then catches a glimpse of the black form in the sky and snarls, "Well... speak of the devil, my dearest brother of all has shown up finally, excellent, I was hoping for some real fun." For now however, he returns his gaze to Plant Man, he may be cocky, but he's not going to outright assume he's invicible. Zero puts his guard down. [Radio: (B) Masters-Secure] Bass transmits, "Someone tell me what the hell it is those two are doing here. Now." Ring Man is again blasted back by Blues' powerful buster, this time straight off his feet. Sliding to a halt on his back he really hopes Snake can get his executioner off his back... that is however unlikely Ring knows. Rolling to his feet ring already has a his hands full of deadly rings... "I will not die so easily!" he manages to shout out before throwing the hail of full sized rings at Blues... but as he does he coninues to pull more rings out of subspace... an insane amount of rings... more rings the /GOD/... and certainly more rings then that blasted 'forcer Ring Redwing coould ever hope to have! Ring Man misses Blues with his More Rings Than Redwing attack. The moment Protoman turns his attention on Ringy... Clown pulls out... a microphone. Um, Ringy... Snakey? Right now would be a good time to hit MUTE on your audio systems. Let's sing like Marilyn Manson singing Barney's song! Yay! o/- I love you, you love me... Lets make Protoman's ears bleed... -/o Blues deflects Clown Scream from Clown Man. You miss Blues with your Clown Scream attack. Plant Man sighs yet again . . . and after a transmission, opens fire upon Zero. A fury of petals, sharp-edged and potentially deadly, all upon the Wily-born Hunter. Training dummy? Perhaps it should feel mad about the term, but in truth . . it doesn't have the combat skills to delude itself into thinking it has a chance in this battle. [OOC] Ring Man says, "darnit.... btw no one tell Red about that attack... I still hope to surprise her with it if I can ever pull her into a fight." Plant Man strikes Zero with its Petal Rain attack. Spinning on his heel with a ghastly speed - He's hard to hit because of his teleportation, but he's one fast bugger on his own - Protoman ducks as Snake Man fires off a volley of spit at him, barely evading to the point where it strikes him in the head, never touching his vulnerable parts nor blinding him visually. Dropping his shield to his side, Protoman makes no delay in rushing up towards Snake Man like a flash of lightning sending his Buster arm (which is charging up) up into the reptilian Masters' stomach. Breaking off and twisting around in mid-air, Protoman pounds his red boot agains the ground to stop his movement, preparing for a second strike. Still no words from him - Unlike someone, his interest in taunts is minimal. Blues strikes Snake Man with his Smash attack. Blues puts his guard down. [OOC] Clown Man says, "Aw, damn. I'll be retreating soon. Need some rest for work tomorrow." [OOC] Ring Man says, "don't sweat it clown. stuff happens" [OOC] Blues says, "Clown? Tomorrow morning, kiss your boss for me." [OOC] Plant Man says, ". . . eew." Dynamo arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Dynamo has arrived. [OOC] Clown Man says, "My boss is a guy. O.o And I don't think he swings that way. O.o" Centaur Man arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Centaur Man has arrived. [OOC] Blues says, "Dynamo!" [OOC] Dynamo says, "Hiya." [OOC] Plant Man says, "Ello Dynamo." Snake Man gives another hiss of annoyance as he misses. He ducks as Proto charges him, but not quite fast enough. The charge catches him in the side, digging his feet into the sand. But the nearness of his enemy has given him a chance to wind his tail around him, and he starts to squeeze in a deadly embrace... Snake Man misses Blues with his Constriction attack. Clown Man suddenly breaks off his attack once more... and just as suddenly departs. //*I think I left a Apple Pie in the oven...*// Odd... Clown Man retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Ring Man, Centaur Man, Plant Man, and Blues. [OOC] Plant Man giggles. :D [OOC] Dynamo says, "Oh, the temptation to party crash..." [OOC] Sewa says, "YAY!" [OOC] Blues says, "Why not? On either side." Zero tries to slice through the petals as they charge towards him, but quite a few get through his blades cutting into his scarlet armor, each strike bringing a short grunt from the Hunter XO. "Not bad, Plant Man, but not good enough either." Zero's arm then starts to spark a bit, small bolts of electricity dancing along with each moment gaining more and more intensity until Zero's face lights up with a almost sinister looking smile as he suddenly lunges straight at Plant Man as the electricity seems to gather at his shoulders and then rockets through his arm to his sabre causing it to lengthen and grow into more of a lance than a sword. Ring Man grrrrrrrs as his rings go wide. Not his day. Snapping his fingers he porduces another stack of mini-rings and snapps his fingrs a second time, linking them together in an impossible speed. Taking a run at Blues he decides to handle this in a manner he learend from one of Magnet's video games.... with his ring made chain whip, Simon Belmont style. Zero strikes Plant Man with his Lightning God's Fury attack. Ring Man misses Blues with his Ring Flail attack. Pearly whites still being ground together, the Force Leader silently urges his companion to speed things up, to allow a bit of risk into the transport in favor of added speed. To accommodate this, he crouches low on the back, his left hand placed upon Treble's mane, the other gone. The Neo Buster is in attendance, lads, let's make sure it gives a good showing. The moment is clinched as he does indeed properly arrive at the scene, standing back up to glare down at everyone pleasant, face a picture perfect representation of rage, disgust and loathing. Bass' lips part, and hate descends. "Now really, /kids/.. This isn't the wisest of moves.. Not that we care, since all you're going to do is get the old man excited at the prospect, but, well.." Bass trails off, leaving it ambiguous as to where that line of conversation may have led, red glare turning from Blues to Zero twice over, before his ride begins to descend to the dunes below. Already, there's another familiar sound, a much higher and audible whine to his own Buster than compared to the likes of Protoman. He's charging. [OOC] Clown Man says, "...Bass' right. Zero is Zeus. 'Kay, Zero... Time to sleep around. :0" [OOC] Snake Man has a dex of 81 and can't hit the broad side of a barn today :p Snake Man's deadly tail attack could spell trouble for Protoman... But as his tail lashes out, it grabs nothing but a flicker of red light. Materializing directly above Snake Man is the Red Bomber, Proto Buster held straight up into the air as it bursts into the Protoblade, a mediocre-powered energy blade not on par with Zero's beam sabre, but valuable for situations like this nonetheless. Dropping out of the sky and onto Snake Man, Blues aims to slash him vertically. Still aware of Ring Man with what simply /must/ be a sixth sense, Blues hits the ground following his slash and leaps straight up into the air, backflipping swiftly as he evades the strike, flying back over Ring Man. THis spells trouble. Blues misses Snake Man with his Protoblade attack. Quick Man arrives from the Lake Wily / Aswan Dam (Aswan Lake Region). Quick Man has arrived. [OOC] Ring Man says, "I have an 89 dex! Jeez Blues." [OOC] Blues says, "Don't feel bad, Snake. I'm not easy to hit." [OOC] Quick Man is just watching. ICly he's preparing for a next event. [OOC] Clown Man waits for any attacks to come his way before Disconnecting. [OOC] Blues says, "If Wily showed up, the circle would be complete." Plant Man isn't all that fast . . in the midst of rolling to the side, Zero manages to charge through the last of the petals . . and skewers the plant's left arm before being knocked to the ground. A sharp shriek of pain accompanies that. And the first note of something other than resigned depression in its voice. "HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO STATE /I AM NOT A MAN/?!?" Bringing its arm up, it opens fire again, switching to a slightly different weapon. Acid. Plant Man misses Zero with its Acid Spores attack. Zero successfully deflects an attack randomly. [OOC] Ring Man ponders his primary.... not like it would hit but he ponders it. [OOC] Quick Man says, "Deflect, my coded nemesis." [OOC] Plant Man says, "Well, fudgenuggets." [OOC] Plant Man is dooooomed! :D [OOC] Clown Man says, "Going once..." [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Snake Man transmits, "Uhh, Plant... Your name kind of givesss a good basssisss for calling you a man." [OOC] Sewa says, " You're not? Oh..sorry. *wink* Wanna leave Blues to his fate while we go to the bar and snag a couple of Coors?" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Plant Man transmits, "I don't freaking CARE! It doesn't FIT, *****itall!" [OOC] Ring Man says, "Well Blues... you mind if I make an attempt?" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Theta Squad Advisor Clown Man transmits, "Planty? Blame Dad for giving you the last name of Man." [OOC] Blues says, "If you do, Ring, be aware that I'll be striking back." [OOC] Plant Man snickers. :D [OOC] Ring Man says, "oh I know, tit-for-tat and all that." [OOC] Bass says, "I think you're safe, Clown." [OOC] Clown Man says, "Right. Nighty Night." [OOC] Plant Man says, "G'night Clown. :D" Zero snorts as he spins around, knocking the bolt of acid aside almost effortlessly as he chuckles a bit at Plant Man, "Well you certainly ain't pretty enough to be a girl either, Plant -Man-." Zero chuckles again as he tosses his sabre into the air, the blade collapsing the moment it leaves it's master's hand as spins around again with the intention of having his foot meet Planty's face, and ending with him falling right back into a pose and catching his sabre. What a showoff. :P [OOC] Bass waves. Zero misses Plant Man with his Kick attack. Snake Man fades to the left, just as Proto appears over his head. Apparently he isn't the only one with an almost sixth sense. The blade strikes through the sand, but that's all. Peppering shots in Proto's direction, he works his way round to get out of the line of fire, and get into range again. Snake Man strikes Blues with his Generic Ranged attack.
