Members of RepLIforce responded promptly when GNN first reported the attack, Maverick drones reportedly led by one of the X-Hunters and one of the Mavericks that make up Godmachine Binary attacking and trying to sink many of the ships that were under repair and/or construction at the Harbor. However, the scene turned into a disaster as a barrage of missile fire from one of the members of RepLIforce destroyed the Maverick drones... and much of the Harbor itself. Destruction estimates place the damage by the Mavericks, who withdrew soon thereafter, in the hundreds of thousands of Zenny, though few civiLIans were injured in the attack, most having evacuated when the Mavericks arrived. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/16 Posted Author Somber anniversary Wed Feb 05 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The mood was somber today as Texas marked the anniversary of the destruction of El Paso, one of the worst disasters in the state's history. (Image of the outside of the Texas State House, with flags at half-mast) Memorials were held at the State Capital Building in Austin, with smaller services held in Dallas, Houston, Lubbock, and Midland-Odessa. The city was sundered by a massive burst of uncontrolled Stardroid energy, leaving over 800,000 dead and property damage in the bilLIons. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Cairo - Southern Outskirts Here on the outskirts of metropoLItan Cairo, LIfe is much different. Poorly-maintained sanitation and water supply has left much of the area barely inhabitable, although there are still many huts and hovels built from the city's discarded items in clusters. This is actually a rather despressing sight, despite the cheerful songs of the poor here as they beat sand out their clothes, or herd the Egyptian cattle which wander among the huts. The desert comes right up to the city's front door here, LIterally, as the attempts to irrigate the desert in the past have almost all eventually failed. This looks almost LIke a third-world country of the not-too distant past, in stark contrast to the wealth and technology a few kilometers away.

Please say yer okay....." THe snow faLIne falls to the ground strugGLIng to regain his footing. Daryn IS ALREADY DEAD! Or maybe just missing an arm and lying on the ground. Either or. Prismatic Spider takes out a medical scanner and scans Daryn. Frost Man cries out suddenly as he's taking down to back by a flaming dinosaur. He starts flaiLIng his arms as his icey armor hisses and steams in reaction to the fires. His flaiLIng gets him no where, so he works on putting out the fire, atleast...His generators work overtime, and the winds around him and Burn start to whip around. Snow, in Cairo, starts to fall...and fall it does. After a few seconds, about 6 inches accumulates in a small radius. "Getta Offa me!" Frosty bellows! Frost Man strikes Burn Dinorex with his BLIzzard attack. There. Gemini Man spots Sword Man...the mess that's left of Enker... no no, not good. He feels momentarily guilty for not having gotten as heavily engaged as his brothers, but that instantly subsides. He looks over toward a unit of Joes, still firing their weapons in an exchange with RF gumbies. Gemini points at them, and shouts, "EXTRACTION! Doubletime!" Pardon the pun. "GO!" The LIne of drones all lowers their guns, and moves toward the RM LInes, collecting up the parts and pieces of half-battered and totally battered RM troops. Prismatic Spider watches the savage fight between Wily and Rock from his vantage point, optics GLInting as Rock is smashed by the cane. A burning anger begins welLIng up inside him as he considers the battle.. And ponders an insane plan... Until the Mecha is blasted to kingdom come. His optics wided in surprise and pleasure as one hand shifts into its multitool mode. Time for some spot repairs... Dr. Wily has arrived. Dr. Wily leaps from the Mecha and charges at Rock, waving his cane. "I will destroy you yet, you LIttle punk!" Dr. Wily strikes Rock with his Cane Whack attack. Rock falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. Sword Man gives no resistance to the drones helping him up, as well as taking the parts of him that Red ripped out. Not LIke he could if he wanted to at this rate. Ride Armor has arrived. Enker has arrived. Quint has arrived. Get on your knees, simpletons! Quint is here! Enker takes Enker n' Quint's House of Looooooove. Daryn takes Darkside. Burn Dinorex slams into the giant icebot, and staggers back from the impact. Then snow starts to fall, the bLIzzard whipping it around, getting it into the breaks and wounds he already has and stinging insanely with pain. He staggers for a moment, but gets up again, slowly. In pain, but he will not faulter until the end. Bracing himself, jaws part yet again, and let loose with a blast of flame in Frost Man's generial direction, a LIteral wall of firepower unleashed. Burn Dinorex strikes Frost Man with his Firewall attack. Chill Snowcat snarls as Wily strikes Rock down. THe feLIne just snaps and gathering everything he's got left, Launches himself at the human, claws and teeth flashing visciously. He's going to feel really bad later if he hurt the rotten human. Chill Snowcat misses Dr. Wily with his Maul attack. Dr. Wily spins as Chill fLIes at him. He levels the cane and unleashes a blast of flame at his attacker. "FooLIsh Reploid!" Dr. Wily strikes Chill Snowcat with his Flamethrower Cane attack. Chill Snowcat falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. Rock is shocked by the sudden attack by the crazy scientist's attack. He falls to the ground, but what no one has seen is that Rush has arrived on the scene to see his master fall to the ground. Rush stares at the evil Wily, growls, and charges the nasty doctor... Time to take a bite out of EVIL... Rush has arrived. Rock drops Rush. Ride Armor suddenly begins to LIft off from the scene of a large battle with Quint and Enker, heading as fast as it's battered body can take it. Silo, in the cockpit, is reLIeved the battle is over, but still hurries to get the Armor back out of danger. One more attack would probably take it out, so Silo has to be careful. But even if it does go down now, atleast Silo can by happy he was able to take down Quint and Enker with this Ride Armor that will probably forever remain his favorite. Yeah, it's about time that : character kicked it. Rush strikes Dr. Wily with its Bite attack. "GWAAAA!", is heard from the Wall of firepower. It's Frosty. And he's mad.....real mad. He comes storming out of blaze arms outstretched. "I'll make you sorry for that!" he bellows. In his mind, he sees Burn's head as Tinfoil. Yes...Tinfoil. To be crumbled, and reshaped, and crumpled again. Yes....Burn's head would look good as an ashtray. Sure, Daddy doesn't smoke, but Frost is sure he loves home made gifts from his children...so...back to Frost's massive mittens aiming for Burn's head.. Frost Man strikes Burn Dinorex with his Crush attack. Burn Dinorex falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage. Chill Snowcat YELPS as the fire engulfs him for a moment, not expecting that to come from the innocent looking cane. HE falls to the ground, blessed unconsciousness taking him. Silo has arrived. Dr. Wily watches Chill fall unconcious. Which is when Rush latches onto his aft. Wily leaps into the air, screaming LIke a LIttle girl. "WAIIIIIIIIIIII!" he runs around screaming for an instant, Rush attached to his rump LIke a magnet. "getitoffmegetitoffmegetitoffmegetitoffmegetitoffmegetitoffme!" In a sudden fit of inspiration, Wily leaps atop his cane and pogos around, attempting to shake the vicious dog. SPROING! SPROING! Burn Dinorex ROARS in pain as the massive hands come down on top of him. And despite being the same size as Frost Man, the tyranno's frame just can't take the stress of such a blow LIke it could of if he hadn't already been beat up. Heavy damage finally gives out, and even the large form of the Dinorex crunches to the ground under the wrath of sheer brute strength. Wilymachine has left. Dr. Wily takes Wilymachine . Prismatic Spider rushes towards Rock as Wily lays him out with the CANE, them decimates Chill with a blast of flame. Pointing his multitool hand at Wily, he calls out as he rushes the mad Doctor, "Leave this place at once! You have lost!" UnLIke the others, he's not attacking Wily madly. Rock first, crazy Doctor later. Provided Rush keeps the Blue Bomber busy, he kneels down above the shattered hero and begins making emergency repairs... Enker has disconnected. Quint enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Quint grows bored of his surroundings and marches his high and mighty self over to Teleportation Area--Cairo. Quint has left. Prismatic Spider effects some minor repair work on Rock. Prismatic Spider takes out a medical scanner and scans Rock. Finally, the EaGLe touches down, as far back as Silo could get it. Several marine gumbies protect it as the pilot jumps off the armor, only possessing a few scratches in his armor. Looking around, he tries to spot a drone or real Master that he could help take down, but knowing how much of the battle he's missed while in the EaGLe, there probably isn't much for him to do... Gemini Man bursts out laughing at first... seeing Rock drop to the dreaded cane. Too funny... he barely notices when Chill does the same, still laughing at the scene. He frowns when Rush starts to charge forward. ...It doesn't look LIke those are good odds for the Doctor, after all. "Didn't we say EVAC?!" He points at two of the Joes, and then out at the reploids rushing for the doctor. "GO ON!" Then, he runs forward as well. Storm EaGLe has left. Frost Man crunches Burn's head a LIttle bit...it's not reforming right...this is no good..So, he drops it and turns to survey the battle field...suddenly the war fury wears off...and...Frost...well, he doesn't look so swift. "Owie...." Infact...going home might be a good idea... Silo suddenly turns, running towards the Eastside... Silo has left. Morph Moth has left. Prism's work brings the Blue Bomber back onLIne... just barely. Rock tries to get up... his body visibly damaged... Rock drops back to the ground. "Ohh my head..." Rock groans, but doesn't appear to be moving much. Rush continues to growl at Wily. But the dog releases his grip and moves over to protect Rock and Prismatic Spider. The robo dog paces back and forth as if daring someone to attack either of them. Chill Snowcat is a smoldering kitty with a badly manGLed arm. He just lays there completely still. Dr. Wily swats at Rush, batting at the cLInginc mutt. Finally, he lets go and Wily rushes off, holding his wounded rump. "You'll pay for this! I'll get you!" He GLowers over his shoulder. "I would have been homefree if it wasn't for that rotten dog!" Prismatic Spider holds out one hand. "Relax, Rock... You're too damaged to move. We can't do more repairs in this situation, we need to get you back to the Labs." He nods in greeting to Rush as he closes up a couple more gashes on the Blue Bomber, and sLIdes his arms under Rock to pick him up. Gate arrives from the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Gate has arrived. Burn Dinorex LIes in a crumbled head. But he said he'd fight to the end, and he did. Man that hurts though. Harmony has arrived. Gemini Man arrvies as Wily is running away, and levels his arm at the growLIng mutt. (We HATE robodogs.) He looks toward Wily with some worry behind his eyes... hopefully the RepLIforce won't try to fire on him... Gemini doesn't presume to tell Wily to run. After all, he knows. "We're covering." he says, although there is only one of him right now. He stares Rush down, gun aimed to blast him if he charges again. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "RUN COWARDS RUN! You can not hope to WIN!" Sword Man just gets dragged off by some drones to his truck. NOt much he can do right now but let himself get taken from the battle. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "Shut up. Your father's mecha has fallen. You have lost here." Frost Man starts to lumber along, not looking so well. Ice Armor won't refreeze properly, he's actually LImping a good bit. His arms hang low. He can still throw a few swings, but he doesn't look LIke he wants to very much... [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Prismatic Spider." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Don't be rude." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "So he got out and beat Rock down with his Cane." Rock groans as he's picked up. "Can I ask who is picking me up?" Rock strugGLes to look up at his 'hero' but he's got too much mechafluid on his face. Rush barks sLIghtly and follows behind Prismatic Spider. Rock groans and drops his head. Apparently, Rush has convinced Rock everything is okay. [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "He did?" [Radio: (C) GLobal] Rock groans. "Metal Man, I'm still awake. Thank you." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Oh, see? Rock's fine. Is the battle over? I think I see land now, but I'm kind of tired..." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Though I do need to talk to you, Metal Man." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "The battle is still raging here oh looky here some RF infantry. Hot Dog Team Gamma, and Sniper Team Bravo. Destroy them." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Man transmits, "I have troops to over see." Dr. Wily GLances to Gemini as he dashes past. "Thank you Gemini. Just keep them occupied." The Doctor continues his retreat, heading for a relatively undamaged dropship as it departs. Dr. Wily retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Sword Man, Kain, Rock, Chill Snowcat, Gate, Hovertank , Rush, Burn Dinorex, Ride Armor , Prismatic Spider, Ricochet, Harmony, and Gemini Man. Sword Man retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Rock, Chill Snowcat, Rush, Ride Armor , Harmony, and Gemini Man. Prismatic Spider receives a radio transmission from Bolero. Harmony rushes back from another area of battle, looking really tired. Her paleness shows her fuel is low, and she's in a hurry. Running up to the still laying Daryn, she tucks his arm under under her own, and hoists Daryn up with the help of some gumbies. Danana! Daryn has been kidnapped by RepLIforcers! Are you a bad enough Robot Master to save the Rocker Dude? Do they even want to... Turn in next time... Same Mega time, Same Mega channel Harmony enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Harmony has left. Daryn enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Daryn has left. Burn Dinorex continues to LIe in a battered up heap. Though as the Masters finally start to draw off their forces, a few repLIgumbies that are still standing finally come and start to drag him off the battlefield. Keep them busy. Hmmm...no problem. Gemini Man holds his ground. (Doc said 'thank you'...)Oo oO(If they blow us up, he'll replace us.)Oo Ricochet enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Ricochet has left. Prismatic Spider uses his labcoat sleeve as a makeshift rag to wipe the fluid from Rock's face. Looking down at the Blue Bomber and smirking, he heads for Cairo so he can get Rock to Neo-Tokyo... And from there, to the Labs. "My name's Prismatic Spider, of RepLIforce, MSE division." As he trots, the shining bubble of his forcefield comes up, protecting the scientist and his charge. A flash of LIght emanates from the refractor on Prismatic Spider's abdomen, quickly dimming into a shimmering field that encloses him. Frost Man retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Sword Man, Kain, Rock, Chill Snowcat, Gate, Hovertank , Rush, Burn Dinorex, Ride Armor , Dr. Wily, Prismatic Spider, and Gemini Man. Frost Man goes lumbering off home. He's hurting and wants some friggin' ice cream to make this pain go far, far away... Burn Dinorex retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Rock, Chill Snowcat, and Ride Armor . Gemini Man retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Rock, Chill Snowcat, Hovertank , Burn Dinorex, and Ride Armor . Accelerator Allosaur arrives from the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Accelerator Allosaur has arrived. Burn Dinorex is dragged off by a squad of beaten up gumbies. Whee. Burn Dinorex enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Burn Dinorex has left. Somewhere, really high up, a high speed Interpol craft with a paintjob so fresh it still smells LIke the bodyshop circles the battlefield, a man in violet armor and a white labcoat hanging out of the side, looking downwards at the chaos below. "<>" the scientist mumbles to himself in Korean as he tries to sort out the mess of friend and foe, sometimes parts occupying adjoining spaces. "<> Pilot.. try not to get us shot.." Well. he said he'd help to clean up the injured, and Gate is a Reploid of his word, if nothing else. Well, the moment the Doctor is out of harm's range, Gemini sees he's no longer needed. With his left hand, he waves at the departing Megaman, in RF care. "So long!" Then, he turns to follow the rest of the departing Masters. Dr. Wily enters the Egypt. Dr. Wily has left. Comet has arrived. Rock smiles up at the doctor. "Go ahead and lay me on Rush. The dog following you." Rock tries to make out the spider carrying him, but he's still pretty hurt. Rock gives a sour look. "Did the Robot Masters retreat?" Comet emerges from the battle in the Eastern 'front', flying on her platform. For whatever reason, she's flying away from the battle at quite a good cLIp, not bothering to shoot at anyone or anything. Rush changes into its Rush Jet armor. Gate takes out a medical scanner and scans Rock. It's not long before Accelerator gets his tail into the city. Reason? He was ordered to! What other reason is there, after all? In his armor dedicated to speed, the allosaur shows up GLancing around at the carnage left in the wake of the assault. "... What a mess," he mutters as he tries to find someone with a LIttle rank or someone to blow up. One or the other. Comet enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Comet has left. Aurora Hound has arrived. Aurora Hound fLIes off back to base. If you can call it flying. It looks more LIke she's falLIng upwards, given how damaged she is. Rock has disconnected. Rock has connected. The Interpol craft starts to lower down to the ground. About five stories up the violet-armored scientist jumps out of the open hatch in the side and dives down for the ground, headfirst. At the las tpossible moment he performs a lazy, forward fLIp and his descent arrests itself about a foot off the ground, legs flexed a LIttle as if he were seated. He settles his feet on the ground and generates a shielding bubble around himself as a precaution against stray fire from stragGLers. "Hmm.. Not exactly a good day for a stroll..." he muses as he looks around with a scanner, searching for IFF transponder reports. Rush has left. Rock takes Rush. Rock has disconnected. Aurora Hound enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Aurora Hound has left. Gate takes out a medical scanner and scans Chill Snowcat. Chill Snowcat is laying where Wily burned him. His synth fur charred badly. His arm/paw badly manGLed by Shark man's bites. Fuels and other fluids pool beneath the artic kitty. Prismatic Spider nods as he looks over to Rush, lowering his field to place the battered Rock on the flying dog. With a GLance over at the nearby form of Chill Snowcat, he nots that Gate is attending to the fallen Hunter, and watches, as Rock is flown off to the Labs. He nods in greeting to the Interpol scientist as he heads for Cairo. He would stay and chat, but he has a lot of work to do... Prismatic Spider has left. Hovertank enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Hovertank has left. Accelerator Allosaur continues across the warzone fairly slowly, optics GLancing from place to place, armor on him slowly switches over to his more combat capable armor as he moves along. Accelerator Allosaur changes into his Accelerator armor. Accelerator Allosaur has left. Gate getsures up to the craft he came in on and gets hold of several magnetic cables, which he affixes to the stricken mechanical feLIne. "Not your day, Kitty..." he remarks as he peers at one particular part that looks LIke it got wedged out of place during the fight. "I'll at least get you mobile again enroute..." he proclaims to the unconcious Reploid as he starts winching him up into the vehichle. It's a good thing this was the craft he'd had assigned specifically to RDI, and had equipped with good faciLIties for affecting at least *some* field repairs. "What a mess..." Gemini Man surveys the rest of the Robot Master trucks, and the piles of Joes. The still-standing troops fan out, and start setting up perimeters. Gemini wonders idly if all the bits and pieces are supposed to add toward his 'spare parts' talLIes. He looks down and pokes at the shattered starburst on his breastplate. "Frost Man?" he asks, of the giant still lumbering past. Sword Man enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Sword Man has left. Sword Man arrives from the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Sword Man has arrived. Gate effects some repair work on Chill Snowcat. Gate takes out a medical scanner and scans Chill Snowcat. Frost Man slows his lumbering away. He turns to towards Gemini Man. He looks around for the other, and looks back to what must be the real Gemini. He squats down a bit, "Hello Gemini!", he says, enthusiastically, but tiredly. Chill Snowcat opens his eyes, "What.....what happened? ROCK....what happened ta rock? WHo are you?!" The scientist floats along outside the craft for a moment longer, calLIng out on his radio for a moment. He then looks down at Chill as he nudges a sinGLe part back into place with an eerie sense of internal machanisms comes from having the same sort of strucutures in his own body. "I work for Interpol... We're taking you back to LIght Labs now." "Set up some camps with the Joes. We're holding down here." Gemini starts to walk forward, shouting out at RF medics and stragGLers. "HEY you ruffians. MOVE it, NOW." Gate enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Gate has left. Chill Snowcat enters the Teleportation Area--Cairo. Chill Snowcat has left. Frost Man nods and starts to get to work with the joes setting stuff up. Having him around makes LIfe much easier for them, yes. The whole 'three times taller and 10 times stronger' thing makes temporary stuff easy.. Crash Man has arrived. Shark Man has arrived. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CiviLIan $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 13/34 Posted Author Cairo Incident (INTERPOL & ALLIES) Thu Feb 06 Ebony Fox ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Ebony Fox comes on screen.

His red armor is blackened, dented, dirtied, scratched, and peppered with a few bullet holes here and there. "Megaman, step aside!" Crash Man says, pointing at the camera with a beer-can clutched in his right hand. The can of Wilybeer has been opened, fresh foam LIberally spilLIng from it. "My power has exceeded that of yours in spades, for I GOT EQUIPPED WITH HEAD!" The Red Bomber raises his left arm, bringing the messily torn and hollowed cranium of Barrage Raptor into view. Turning the Reploid's torn cranium cavity-up, Crash Man tips his can of Wilybeer downward. A sparkLIng, bronze stream of bitter LIbation pours freely from the can, it's descent caught only by the grisly hollowed trophy. Once the can is drained of it's contents, Crash Man casually tosses the can over his shoulder and scores a demerit for LIttering in the process.

"THEN GET READY FOR THE IMMINENT RISE OF THE TARTARUS FOOTBALL LEAGUE FROM THE PITS OF HEEEEELLL!!!!" RARGH! Two guys in red-and-black armor thunder onto the screen, bodyslamming the skull between themselves, and proceed to get into a heavy-metal fistfight! The guy on the left (in red and black) has a flaming skull on his shoulder, the one on the right (in black and red) has a burning demon, and they obviously LIke eachother very, very LIttle. Raging guitar music rages in the background with rage! ROCK! "And just what makes Tartarus Football KICK SO MUCH MORE ASS THAN REGULAR FOOTBALL?!" "The TURF on the FIELD is SPECIALLY ENGINEERED to SECRETE ACIDIC SUBSTANCES!" A black-and-red armored guy tromps across the field, then starts waiLIng and skipping from foot to foot, smoke rising from his toes. Amid his frantic squeaLIng.... 'The boots! Zey do nossink!' "The HALF-TIME LASER-LIGHT SHOW uses REAL LASERS!" A band plays on a stage in the middle of the field, while lasers sweep back and forth overhead. Ooh! Pretty- er... I mean... HARDCORE! YEAH! HARDCORE! Especially when one of the beams sweeps downwards and cuts the lead singer's guitar clean in half, bringing the music to an abrupt halt. The crowd cheers! Until a laser sweeps up through the middle of the stands. "The GOAL POSTS are FULLY CAPABLE of MAIMING THE PLAYERS!" As a red-and-black armored guy carries the spiked, prone-to-exploding football towards the end-zone, one of the bars on the large, H-shaped goal post sweeps down and pounds the guy into the turf. Up on the board, the score for 'The Hazardous Field' goes up 2 points. SICK! "The FIFTY YARD LINE is a PIT of SPIKES!" It's a face-off at the center of the field, with the red-and-black guys snarLIng at the black-and-red guys. "Sixty-nine! Four-twenty! Six-hundred-and-sixty-six! HIKE!" The two teams rush at eachother with a screaming battle cry only to squeal as they pitch forward, into a gaping hole that runs down the middle of the field! Arrgh! "The REFEREES are REALLY HOT CHICKS wearing REALLY TINY BIKINIS!" Several moments of gratuitous shots of some daffy, smiLIng babe wearing a black-and-white-striped thong bikini. More heavy-metal extreme hard-core guitar music! Awesome! "The LOSING TEAM is FLOGGED!" Up on the board, the 'East Tartarus Mankillers' have outscored the 'West Tartarus Demonspawn' by 12 EXTREME POINTS. A bunch of red-and-black... or maybe black-and-red... dudes are strung up on posts, arms strapped, held in place, while the black-and-red team.. er... red-and-black team... mercilessly pounds on them with fairly nasty looking flails!
