A thirty car pile-up has stalled traffic in the sector of the megacity, and what's weirder, all of the cars are members of that precinct's first-response poLIce force. Eyewitnesses say that the cars all sped to the same area, at the same time, crashing into each other before one exploded into a giant fireball. Casualties are unknown at this time, and medics at the scene report that many of the cops are suffering from hallucinations of a giant transforming Scorpion laying waste to the city.

Much of this area is dominated by booths, tents and even simple tables as people hawk their wares, both legal and illegal in the eyes of the world. There's not much that people -can't- sell here except for weapons of mass destruction. Otherwise there's pretty much free reign and whatever one desires can pretty much be bought and sold, although in the case of weaponry a watchful eye is kept on such transactions by the local guards. This is another area that's regularly patrolled by aerial units and troops of sniper joes as well to keep the peace. What buildings and streets there are belong to the more permanently estabLIshed businesses, and it's a safe bet that those that can get housed inside one of these structures has estabLIshed a firm foothold in the economic skeleton of Tartarus.

It looks so BEATIFUL! *ahem* As it stands, people are running left and right, trying to get away from the crazy Stardroid. Rumors had it that he was looking for a certain destructive weapon... the BFG 15-MilLIon. Upon finding out the owner of said gunshop didn't wanted to sell him the weapon. He promptly went berserk.

However, instead of being a giant mech and breaking things as he walks by, he casually fwips along the rooftops, staying alongside his General. Apparently he wants to see how the kiddo will do today.

[Radio] Transmission detected: I'll see you if I surive ... Rockets flare and blaze, streaming coronas of fire from the ehavens. Bright eyes burn blue, cuting down with immobile force. "Break off the strike," Shield Shellfish barks shortly, "Or at least give a better reason than death-deaLIn' to be hammering this cesspit."

[Radio: (B) None] Barrage Raptor transmits, "Hell if I know." GoLIath rolls a shoulder back, the driver at its helm steeLIng cold red gaze upon the Stardroid, focused and unafraid. Nothing but one of Vile's arms moves, and several turrets on the back and sides of the ride armor cLIck open. Then, Vile presses a button, and a flood of explosive missles stream through the chaos of the Stardroid's attack, aiming to strike. "You cannot reason with them. RepLIforcer. Only destroy them." [Radio] Transmission detected: ... suggest evcuate the CiviLIans... [Radio: (B) None] Alpha transmits, "Oh."

[Radio: (B) None] Alpha transmits, "What happened, Abernathy?" [Radio: (B) None] Jet Stingray transmits, "Take it the Nothing doesn't LIke you anymore?" Shield Shellfish sends a radio transmission. You intercept Shield Shellfish's transmission to Isaac: Well, good a time as any. How are Heater and Mintybreath doing? [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy transmits, "I -- /No/. I got caught in the crossfire when that stupid, heroic, /idiot/ of a raptor jumped Scorpio. Wages of sin, /indeed/." [Radio: (B) None] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Yes, I vould say so." [Radio: (B) None] Shield transmits, "Barrage Raptor prevented Scorpio from kilLIng you?" [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy transmits, "No. She was going after Pallbearer, I beLIeve. I was in ... incidental. *sharp intake of breath*" [Radio] Transmission detected: ... 009 ... ... offLIne. Shield Shellfish receives a radio transmission. You intercept Isaac's transmission to Shield Shellfish: They are well. [Radio: (B) None] Alpha transmits, "Incidental? What does that mean?" Shield Shellfish sends a radio transmission to Isaac. You intercept Shield Shellfish's transmission to Isaac: That's... good to hear, sir. You be careful, sir; I'm not there to help out, just now. Shield Shellfish receives a radio transmission from Isaac. You intercept Isaac's transmission to Shield Shellfish: I shall be. [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy breathes out, in a pained-sounding sigh. " ... I was standing a LIttle too cl ... close when he decided to retaLIate." Sigma smirks a LIttle as he looks towards Shield Shellfish, "...You do not understand. He is causing damage to our territory. Thank you.", he looks back to the Stardroid, studying the crab for a few moments before looking back over to Shield Shellfish, "I wonder if the AlLIance will stand.", he draws a boomerang from his utiLIty belt of happiness and then nods to the GoLIath, fLInging the boomerang at the Stardroid with a careless fLIck. Zwing! Sigma misses you with his Boomerang Cut attack. [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy mutters, "At least ... someone is enjoying this." [Radio: (D) None] Isaac transmits, "I am almost to location in San AnGLes." Firestorm Phoenix takes his cue from Vile, no talk, just shoot. Swooping down for better aim Firestorm LInes up the shellfish, "mmm, been a while since I had crab, I wonder if I could find a big enough tub of butter here in Tartarus..." Both hands sLIp into the forearms, creating the Phoenix's duel flamethrowers, "Lets see if it bakes just LIke a crab." Twin gouts of flame spew forth. Firestorm Phoenix misses you with his Double Flamethrower attack. Ride Armor arrives from the Tartarus - Arena Square. Ride Armor has arrived. [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy transmits, "... Hello, what's this ... ?" [Radio: (B) None] RF MSE Prismatic Spider transmits, "... Virgo is engaging Scorpio." [Radio: (B) None] Jet Stingray transmits, "Engagement? Do they even love each other?" Short pause. "That was a joke for those wondering." [Radio: (B) None] Abernathy quips, "Marriage of convenience, I think." [Radio] Transmission detected: ... facepalms [Radio: (B) None] RF Major Fusion Phoenix transmits, "There's nothing LIke a LIttle humor... and that was very LIttle." Cancer bLInks. "So be it." With that, he rushes about. The Flames from the Flamethrower misses him entirely... as does Sigma's Boomerang Cut (both times, on the throw and on the return trip). Only the GoLIath's missiles does... Slowing the speedy crab down, and damaging him sLIghtly... but not by much... for the crab spins wildly... creating a hurricane force... which quickly expands... "HURRICANE SMASH!!!" Cancer instantly stops spinning... with the new created hurricane ready to smash into the GoLIath... You strike Heavy Ride Armor with a soLId hit from your Hurricane Smash attack. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... all ... ... ... Secure the ... Nothing ... gets in ... ... of the ... without ... ... Shield Shellfish's reaction is to firupward, jets skyrocketing the Reploid higher into the sky, veering away from the sudden onslaught of destruction. "No wonder you all got blowed a'bloody 'part," she grouses, roaring up and overhead, tiny LIghts GLItering across the twin-shell shields. Hovering a swift sixty feet above the Stardroid, the Shieldbearer begins locking, scanning, hyper-powered sensors warping to the max to cut the defnsive shell... Hunting for a softer point in the diamond-hard defense. Firestorm Phoenix grunts as his the stardroids dodges his attack, "Hey now, stand still!" Hovering back up a LIttle further he eyes all around, a good mix, but will it prove to be a enough? Lets hope so. Returning his attention to the stardroid, several panals open along the Phoenix's form, reveaLIng a wealth of missiles, looks LIke the GoLIath isn't the only one with minimissiles. As soon as Firestorm's internal HUD shows lock on, Firestorm unleashes his banks of missiles, streaking out LIke angry hornets. The hurricane's force strikes, billowing wind around the GoLIath's hull. Schrapnel cracks into its sides, and wind tears at its seams, but... engineering wins out. It will take a good deal more than that to destroy the world's most powerful ride armor. Minimissile launchers retract, and a larger gun charges a blast of red and yellow fire, letting it loose. No Stardroid in Tartarus will be suffered to survive. Firestorm Phoenix strikes you with a GLancing hit from his Missile Swarm for 8 units of damage. Heavy Ride Armor misses you with its Napalm Cannon attack. Sigma looks over to the GoLIath, studying it for damage, but it still seems to be, well, not dead. So as Sigma ponders, he hops off the building he had been standing on and peers down towards the crab. His eyes flash red briefly before two twin beams of LIght flash outward towards the Stardroid. Sigma misses you with his Eyebeams attack. Meanwhile, coming in from the general direction of the Arena Square, is a large reploid... No, wait, not a reploid. A Ride Armor. With a large spherical body. And legs, with treads as feet. And eight tentacles coming out from the sphere at seperate places so from no matter wherever you look at the Armor, there's always four of them showing. Yep, for all you out there who know your Ride Armors, you know what this is. The Kraken. It's been piloted by Cyclops, who isn't in the best of moods at the moment. Which is probably a bad thing for all those Stardroids out there. Let's see if him and the Maverick Ride Armor can make a difference. And so, it's quickly within distance, all the tentacles waving around. Not sparing a time for classic pre attack chit chat, Cyclops quickly controls one of the tentacles, sending out the sonic tentacle right at Cancer, which is intent on giving the Stardroid a LIttle tentacle whip. Ride Armor misses you with its Vibro Tentacle Whip attack. [Radio] Transmission detected: Bass....we ... being ... by Denebola and ... defend ourselves unless you have some sort ... ... ... ...

Cancer pauses for a moment, to eye the Kraken... then moves once more... towards Firestorm where several missiles strikes him... but very LIttle damage to none is done to the Crab. He GLances up at the Phoenix... and says one word: "Die." Cancer's armor GLows brightly as he leaps towards Firestorm... then activating his jets to crash into Firestorm... "The tour of duty is over..." "CANCER CRUSH!!!" You strike Firestorm Phoenix with a devastating hit from your Cancer Crush attack. Cyclops has arrived. Cyclops takes out a medical scanner and scans Firestorm Phoenix. Cyclops has left. GoLIath may have missed, but the fight from Vile's end is far from over. Charging up the cannon again, it crackles with electricity this time, minGLIng with the firebursts in a shockwave of loud, heated, searing pain. He'll get the Stardroid's attentions once more... should the deadly blow strike its shell. Heavy Ride Armor misses you with its Hot Electric Death attack. The Shellfish stares, and if teeth were there to grit they would be grinding. "Sensors at maximum," she snarls wordlessly, LIghts GLIttering across the outer form. Jets blast as she moves, screaming up and over, a dangerous position... For a desperate measure. "Time to sget a closer look," she says a spinning heave unleashing both pink-GLeaming shells from her arms. LIghtning begins to GLeam as the shells spin to their place, hovering. "Maximal scan, onLIne." Sigma lands on the ground, waiting until after the Stardroid has crashed into Firestorm Phoenix to leap up into the air (LIkely just so he has more force) and fLIng his large hammer at the Crab's frame. Hopefully he won't miss again because he's running out of weapons. Boomerangs don't really help much. Sigma strikes you with a minor hit from his Hammer Toss for 35 units of damage. You take extra damage due to your Blunt weakness. Firestorm Phoenix bLInks, unprepared for the speed Cancer shows, and *SMASH* The stardroid crashes into the poor firebird, sending him spiraLIng through the upper floors of a convient building. For several long seconds it seems that Firestorm really is dead, but then from the rubble comes a movement, crumpled armor working its way free from the debri. Seems the Firestorms tougher than Cancer gave him credit, but even as the avain trys to stand, he quickly finds himself without the energy and falls back into heap. Upon having the sonic whip attack miss, Cyclops curses sLIghtly, quickly retracting the tentacle and readying another of the tentacles, wondering which one to use... His eyes fall upon the gravity tentacle, and he just smiles, before pushing buttons and such. Outside, the sphere part of the Ride Armor swings around, until the black tentacle is shown. And without any warning at all, it springs out at Cancer, intent on skewering the Stardroid with it's gravity goodness. Ride Armor misses you with its Magnet Tentacle Skewer attack. Somewhere on the MUSH, Dawn has disconnected. Somewhere on the MUSH, Dawn has connected. Ride Armor misses Heavy Ride Armor with its Grasp attack. [Radio: (D) None] Isaac transmits, "Scorpio has fled." [Radio: (D) None] Alpha transmits, "Why?" [Radio: (D) None] Phoenixflame CO Michael Eildath transmits, "You say that LIke it's a bad thing." [Radio: (D) None] Conduit transmits, "How are the other attacks fairing?" Cancer frowns as the RAs start to move in... he dodges out of the way of the HED (Hot Electric Death) and the Hentaicles... He doesn't notice Shield take a look at him... ...That is because Sigma just shattered his armor with that Hammer Throw. Cancer grits his teeth in pain... before looking at Sigma. Cancer leaps up at Sigma... and tries for a combo. Or in other words... 982 Claw Slashes-type hits!!! Which is a good reason why you shouldn't poke (or throw a hammer) at the crab... You strike Sigma with a devastating hit from your Don't Poke The Crab attack. [Radio] Transmission detected: Anyone ... ... ... ... ... in Africa? The blue eyes lock down, snad if a Reploid could turn white..... Well, this one can, and does so, GLIttering with a pulse of energised plasma. "Bloody..." she mutters quietly, shattering in a blast of force, four new forms erupting where once one stood. "Actuate magna lock," she intones, weapons locking as the Shellfish unleashes her first strike... A four-way, squares-point barrage of trseeking shells. Somewhere on the MUSH, Dynamo has disconnected. Shield Shellfish strikes you with a GLancing hit from her Shellarang for 19 units of damage. You take extra damage due to your Blunt weakness. [Radio] Transmission detected: So what /is/ going on ... ... After a while Firestorm comes around again, backup power finally rerouted. Though he stays lying on the ground. [Radio] Transmission detected: Scorpio ... ... ... ... ... ... it going back home? Sigma smirks as he finally connects to the Crabby Fiend....He says, "You, my friend, are a wuss.", before he gets completely mauled by Cancer, being flung all the way into that building over there, creating a nice hole in both ends of the building and landing on the other side with a dull thump. Sigma, though still conciouss, decides it'll be a nice hoLIday to just lay there for a moment or millenia or so. [Radio] Transmission detected: Don't ... ... ... you're ... desperate. Electricity and fire were only the beginning. Just when one assumes the GoLIath has no more firepower to offer... A second cannon. Electricity charges in both barrels now, and, two simultanious shots of LIghtning aim to cook the Cancerous Crab, even as Shield Shellfish provides her own aid. As the GoLIath attacks, Vile's eye fLIckers toward Sigma. That hit...did not look pleasant. Heavy Ride Armor misses you with its Dual Electrocannon attack. [Radio: (C) None] Conduit transmits, "Whats going on in africa?" [Radio: (C) None] Gemini Man transmits, "Pain, mostly." [Radio: (C) None] Regulus transmits, "Do you truely wish to experience it?"

[Radio] Transmission detected: CiviLIans ... city is ... ... ... taking ... ... ... ... ... loud ... ... sounding ... Cyclops just grits his teeth as the Stardroid once again dodges his attack... Oh, that's it. He briefly gazes towards the now injured Sigma, but focuses more on the current battle. By the looks of it, it's all up to him, Vile and the 'forcer now. Stroking his chin, he gets to the controls, forces the Ice Tentacle to grow largely in length, and then sends it at Cancer, hopefully spinning around the Stardroid and holding him in place for a few moments. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... it's from Starhaven ... knows ... they ... ... it for? Ride Armor strikes you with a GLancing hit from its BLIzzard Tentacle Wrap for 1 units of damage. Cancer is temporarily disoriented by Ride Armor 's BLIzzard Tentacle Wrap attack. [Radio: (C) None] Kain transmits, "Lots of pain..."

You stand by and watch while we try to save the weak, and then you mock our courage. The challenge made is clearly unfair; your brother is superior in strength, speed and tactical output to any one of us. Is that your point? Should we destroy ourselves in the attempt to destroy this menace?" A short pause. "Who *really* wants for valor here?" [Radio] Transmission detected: Pallbearer ... been ... again.

[Radio: (C) None] Regulus transmits, "And if I acted, I would share the fate of Mercury, and you would face someone stronger. Though it pains me, to act is to condemn far more." Cancer evades out of the way of the Electro Cannon... and straight into the Shellarang and the Tentacles. He's tied up... for the moment. (Come to me, children...)oo. Cancer's Children arrives from the Tartarus - Arena Square. Cancer's Children has arrived. And so one comes, Defender by name, Protector by design... Courageous to the point of madness. "Back off, MAvericks," comes the Shellfish's rasping voice. "and I'll try to put this one on ice." Four SRepLIforcers, moving in unison, scattrering to every corner of the quadrant. "Time for lockdown," she says quietly, hands pushed forard, LIghtning rippLIng along four skins, four LInes of energy LInking one to the other in perfect sequence. "Acticvating contaiment field, maximum power!" Cancer's Children goes home. Cancer's Children has left. Cancer's Children enters Cyclops' mysterious lab... Shield Shellfish strikes you with a GLancing hit from her Guard Shell for 10 units of damage. [Radio: (C) None] Kumicho NOT Mikage Yukiato transmits, " Denebola is it? I was wondering if we could have a LIttle talk later on, once you are no longer busy." [Radio] Transmission detected: Allnuits standby... Containment of ... 'Cacner' underway... [Radio] Transmission detected: Scorpio has fled. [Radio: (C) None] Kumicho NOT Mikage Yukiato transmits, " But much later..of course..." Two didn't seem to do the job. But now that Cancer was tied up and ready to blast...there was only one response Vile could logically make... Try adding a third cannon. Now, three barrels charge a powerful blast. The attack takes a moment to prepare...enough for Shield Shellfish to get her strike in before the triple-electric explosion that follows. Heavy Ride Armor misses you with its Triple Electrocannon attack. From inside the Kraken, Cyclops just grins, happy to finally hit Cancer with something. He tightens the grip upon Cancer, but upon Shell Shellfish hitting the Stardroid, his grip is loosened, the tentacle beginning to retract. But no, Cyclops ain't going to stand for that. The ice tentacle already close and in a good position to attack again, he lashes out with it again, intent on getting Cancer in a grip once more and crushing. Ride Armor strikes you with a minor hit from its BLIzzard Tentacle Crush for 37 units of damage. [Radio] Transmission detected: I've ... critical condition. ... going to have to pull ...

[Radio] Transmission detected: I ... ... un ... Shield Shellfish takes out a medical scanner and scans Firestorm Phoenix. Sigma stands up finally, and rubs his head. He looks at his practically obLIterated frame and says, "Sh**. That hurt, that Bastard.", he tries to shake the grogginess from his head, and he draws his shield up and places it in front of him. The building and the shield should be enough to protect him as he tries to figure out the number of that truck, so to speak. Sigma puts his guard up. [Radio: (C) None] Alpha transmits, "Oh, I guess you have a point there. Don't eat Necro and Angie then." Sigma receives a radio transmission. You intercept Cyclops's transmission to Sigma: Are you alright Lord Sigma? Sigma sends a radio transmission to Cyclops. You intercept Sigma's transmission to Cyclops: No. [Radio] Transmission detected: Hit ... ... [Radio] Transmission detected: ... "MAvericks... ... ... in ... this ... ... think ... ... 'em though." [Radio] Transmission detected: ... you ... [Radio] Transmission detected: ... you ... ... ... or ... ... you ... ... ... to ... ... to ...

But will you be able to stand another hit? I can cover your retreat should you need to leave. Sigma sends a radio transmission to Cyclops. You intercept Sigma's transmission to Cyclops: Me? Run? Heh. Sigma receives a radio transmission. You intercept Cyclops's transmission to Sigma: Ah, that's the spirit. The Guard shell hits Cancer as the Hentacles gets a tighter hold on the crab. However they don't get to hold onto the crab for long... he escapes just as the multiple electrocannon fires... and he evades. "Time to die..." He whispers quietly... FCancer's armor GLows to brilLIant blue... as does Cancer's eyes... as his voice... and the voice of another... Castor... speaks.... "You fought well. You have been contained me for a time. Now... Time's up." Fires suddenly builds up around Cancer as the double voice of Cancer/Castor speaks... "TWILIGHT..." Cancer's eyes closes..."...HELL!!!" With that, a wave of fire and energy rushes out in all direction to kill... to destroy... to harm. InterestinGLy enough, they avoid the downed bodies of Sigma and Firestorm... instead focusing on GoLIath, Shield, and Kraken... Welcome to HELL on EARTH. You strike Heavy Ride Armor with a devastating hit from your TwiLIght Hell attack. You miss Ride Armor with your TwiLIght Hell attack. You strike Shield Shellfish with a major hit from your TwiLIght Hell attack. Sheield Shellfish's four-fold twins scream, the GLIttering wall of the Shield Wall blasted away LIke the chaff in the wind of the Stardroid's counter attack. Four forms fly across the sky, smashing down against buildings, rubble, punching craters and impact points across the area.... And when the shattered dust settles, scorched, battered, hammered shields the color of sky-dawn rose still GLeam, if only softly... "Net time," Shield repLIes, electricity dancing across the heat-blasted form, "Perhaps you should.. keep your toys.... to yourself." The Shellfish points forward, twin shields to either side still GLowing with the fierce power. Concentrating it into a beam, unleashed back against its terrible source. Shield Shellfish misses you with her Laser Refraction attack. Shield Shellfish puts her guard down. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... ... broken shield... Containtment failed... Assault Styracosaurus stomps through the streets of Tartarus, heading for the sounds and flashes of combat. Just as all Hell breaks loose, He approaches the combative crowd. Quickly taking appraisal of the situation, Assault GLares at Cancer. "You have overstepped your bounds, Stardroid. Prepare for eLImination." Yeah. Assault's got an overconfidence problem, but what can you do. The tribarrel over his shoulder unLImbers, training on Cancer, and spits out a flurry of hypervelocity penetrators at the Stardroid. Sigma staggers through the building, kicking a table over as he walks through the rubble. The flames make the other exit a bit more 'open' to view and he peers towards the Stardroid. Hunh. Well.... Might as well tempt fate, eh? Sigma laughs a bit, "Besides, Duo was a lot tougher than this .... Guy .... eh?", laughing, perhaps due to hitting his head through a few walls, ducks behind his shield (he's been losing all his weapons this fight, curse the day), and lunges for the crab to smash into the creature. Oh yes, he also sends out a radio but he's grinning the whole time too. Battered, damaged, punished, and abused.... GoLIath still carries on. The three main cannons have been blown off the main unit of the ride, and clatter worthlessly, on broken mechanisms, to the sides, unable to generate power, and whining with pain for their efforts. "Impressive. But not enough to defeat me..." Vile brags. Despite the Maverick's bravado, his ride IS damaged, and not much longer for this fight, from the looks of it... The smaller turrets open, and a scatter of LIght, spark-LIke ammunition aims to attach itself to the crab, LIke gravitational static. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... ... retreat. Heavy Ride Armor strikes you with a GLancing hit from its Magnetic Scatterblast for 0 units of damage. Cancer is temporarily disoriented by Heavy Ride Armor 's Magnetic Scatterblast attack.

Cyclops just smirks when his Ride Armor hits the Stardroid again, and upon giving a nice crushing, he forces the ice tentacle to retract in size, joining the other hentacles in both size and proximity to the Kraken. The sphere begins to swing around now, Cyclops wondering just which tentacle he should use... And then Cancer let's loose with the attack. Cyclops' one eye widens, and he quickly scrambles with the controls. The tentacles all fall too the ground, LIfting up the Ride Armor and sending it over the attack. After that though it falls clumisly to it's treads, shaking about, Cyclops' move probably not the smartest... But atleast he dodged the attack. And now, upon seeing the GoLIath pretty badly damaged, Cyclops readies all of hentacles, and signals the sphere to spin around, slowly... And in the bLInk of an eye, all of the tentacles lash out, attempting to seize themselves around the Stardroid and crush him. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... ...

" [Radio] Transmission detected: Sigma ... here. ... Heafvy ... ... around. ... why ... ... tell me ... things ... ... nuclear blasts? Cancer is struck multiple times. He has spared Sigma since he has thought the Emperor will back down. He didn't. This added to the assaults commited by the GoLIath, the Kraken, Assault, Shield AND of course Sigma... has done one thing... It has pissed off the crab. And that means no one will be spared. That includes you, Firestorm. Cancer's GLows once more... this time to white. as the voice of Cancer... and this time... Pollux... speaks. "Now that Hell has come to visit... so will Heaven." A circle of Ice starts to form around Cancer... getting bigger by the second... "MIDNIGHT..." Cancer GLances upwards and smiles... "...HEAVEN." The Circle of Ice erupts... heading for everyone and all buildings... crushing whoever is in its way... Heaven has come calLIng... will you answer? You strike Assault Styracosaurus with a devastating hit from your Midnight Heaven attack. Assault Styracosaurus falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. You miss Ride Armor with your Midnight Heaven attack. You strike Firestorm Phoenix with a devastating hit from your Midnight Heaven attack. Firestorm Phoenix falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. You strike Sigma with a devastating hit from your Midnight Heaven attack. Sigma falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. You strike Heavy Ride Armor with a devastating hit from your Midnight Heaven attack. Heavy Ride Armor falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. You strike Shield Shellfish with a devastating hit from your Midnight Heaven attack. Shield Shellfish falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. [Radio] Transmission detected: Do ... ... more backup ... Tartatus ... [Radio] Transmission detected: ... Sigma muses for a moment, and then says, "...This counts as being ea--", but whatever he was going to say is interrupted as he's frozen. He doesn't scream or anything, he merely falls to the ground with a clunk, frozen. He is still grinning though. [Radio] Transmission detected: Sheild! ... ... The response.... is staggering. Power rages to the sky, a wave of white ice cutting its dooms'day path.. Four Shields, flared and died. Energy and ice, flaring, crackLIng, maddening...

[Radio] Transmission detected: .. ... Assault Styracosaurus watches as his weaponsfire tears at Cancer, and then tries to evade...but it doesn't work. Curse being slow.

[Radio] Transmission detected: ... ... [Radio] Transmission detected: ... Please ... me to thank the ... ... I beLIeve I ... ... ... debt. What remains of GoLIath is...not much, after the devistating attack. Components, a shattered frame, a motherboard. It's repairable...but it will not be easy, and it does not have any combat left in it tonight. But due to the heavy armor that surrounded him, Vile himself remains unharmed. He leaps from the back of the ride armor, ripping a panel from it as he goes. If the rest can't be salvaged... And, then, he does, regrettably, as he did over the radio. He sounds out, in deep, low tones: "Retreat." Vile retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Ride Armor , Shield Shellfish, Sigma, Cancer, and Firestorm Phoenix. Sigma strikes Vile with his Ice Age attack. [Radio] Transmission detected: I ... do that. [Radio] Transmission detected: Thank you ... Job arrives from the Tartarus - Arena Square. Job has arrived. Cyclops just grins as his eight hentacle crush succeeds, but frowns when it appears to piss off the Stardroid to no ends. His one eye widens, and he quickly forces the Ride Armor to wheel back from the attack he can sense is coming. Piloting a fast Ride Armor can help, as the Kraken gets behind a tall building and gets ready to force one of the tentacles to create a barrier around him, to protect him... And then the attack of ice comes. The ice tentacle whips into action, creating a barrier of ice, and the attack comes. By pure luck, the combination of the the heavy building and the ice shield somehow protects him against the ice attack, and is left as the last person not lying on the floor in agony (Vile doesn't count). The Kraken leaves it's cover, intent on attacking again, but when the order comes over the radio to retreat, Cyclops doesn't argue. He quickly wheels the Ride Armor towards Sigma's frozen body, and whips out a tentacle, grabbing the Maverick Emperor and drawing him close... "You have won this time, Stardroid, but next time you will not be so luckly," is screamed over Armor's speakers, and then it retreats... Ride Armor retreats from the area swiftly, leaving it open to pursuit or parting shots from Shield Shellfish, Assault Styracosaurus, Sigma, Cancer, and Firestorm Phoenix. Shield Shellfish has disconnected. Cyclops hands you a cookie. A simple cookie, but sweet and tasty at that. But since this is from Cyclops, you probably shouldn't eat it... Most LIkely contains lots of nanobots that will try and take you over from the inside. So c'mon, take a bite! Job goes home. Job has left. Cancer merely GLances around. "This is merely the beginning...warriors of the Maverick Empire. You have been warned." With that, he bLInks away... Cancer retreats from the area swiftly, outdistancing all pursuit and parting shots. [Radio] Transmission detected: :snorts. Firestorm Phoenix goes home. Firestorm Phoenix has left. You hand Firestorm Phoenix a cookie! You hand Vile a cookie! You hand Sigma a cookie! You hand Shield Shellfish a cookie! You hand Assault Styracosaurus a cookie! Vile narrows his lone eye at the vanishing form. He then turns around...at the mess that remains of the noble GoLIath. Not good...at all. A voice on the edge of anger gives an order. "Cleanup and repair. EVERYONE." His gaze turns toward Sigma now...the Maverick leader in far worse shape than his second in command. "Especially for our leader," Vile adds. That same order goes out over the radio, summoning medics capable of repairing the ruined Emperor, armor, and others. [Radio] Transmission detected: ... I ... Sigma ... back ... ... or should I ... reviving the others? Atlantis --(#240RFnt) The only way to describe even the entrance to the Palace of Waters is lavish. From the coral-encrusted battlements to the mother of pearl inlaid doors, from the cascading waterfalls that splash down the sides of the palace into the surrounding lake, it is obvious that the owner has made the seas and all contained therein his domain. Above, a sinGLe spire curls gently around, shaped LIke a nautilus shell. At the massive gates, two massive statues of fish-LIke warriors stand guard at the locked doors.
