[Mr. Game & Watch]

The Egg mobile was hiding amongst the rubble of an old battleship of Eggman’s that was neighboring the Blue Falcon. It was the best camouflage for a maroon trooper carrier with a pale yellow Eggman face on the side of it. If E Gadd had more time to get a battle van he would’ve chosen a much more… subtle variant. Luckily they weren’t the stealth team so it didn’t matter all that much.

The crew of the Egg mobile, dubbed the Egg Cracker (Dr. Eggman was running out of Egg puns when he created it), too watched in terror as the clone of Mr. Game & Watch get pummeled by the infected monsters and soon after picked up by their target. They waited for the Blue Falcon to move and then they speeded off. Well, in a sense of the term, since their vehicle was significantly slower. The biggest difference between them and the other F-Zero cars was the fact that they had no wheels, but the Egg Cracker had six. Some would say that more wheel means faster, but this was an example of how that argument was completely false.

Anyways, the craft was able to keep up well enough. The two vehicles didn’t go past their view anyway, but they were fairly closer to disappearing over the horizon. It was like the classic tale of the tortoise and the hare, only there were two hares and one slow egg of a turtle. Needless to say, Eggman didn’t create this craft for speed.

It was a groaning half an hour of traveling, soon enough they were on time to watch as the garage that ate the Blue Falcon sunk back into the ground. The vehicle halted a good couple yards away and behind a gigantic rock that put them outside of the view of any sort of spying devices that may or may not be lurking around. From this time forth, it was camping time until the Stealth team requested for assistance. So, this time could be spent stretching their legs and preparing for when they’ll be called upon. It was suggested that they stay outside of the view of the area where the garage sprang up.

A.I.M. was the first to plop out of the vehicle, interested in conducting research on the area around them. No one has really been to this point and return to tell the tale so there was hardly any sort of data that traced back to this place. The machine scanned and analyzed anything in the surrounding area, knowing that Samus would be proud of it when they returned home.

Dark Pit steps out of the Driver seat and looks at the facility... well, sort of invisible facility considering it was hiding underground. Well, looks like they had time to kill while waiting for Team Metal Gear to screw up their job. He was actually surprised this piece of scrap metal could keep up with Mach whatever race cars. There was one question though... "So, what do we do while we wait for Team Metal Gear to screw up?" Dark Pit asked as he stepped into back into the Egg Cracker and rested on his driver's seat. Well, technically not his car, but for the sake of this mission, he was going to treat it as such as the most experienced driver on this team... and by that, we mean the clone of who would be the most experienced driver on this team.

Paula walked out of the egg cracker and yawned..she was asleep when the travel to the Point was taking a while..but now shes up and ready to fight whats trying to bite..She also hopes that the stealth team would come out safe and sound with the hero's and not run into Dark shadow..

Paula heard tales about Dark Shadow..The was the cause of the Kidnapping of the hero's of Li people would say to her..And if rumors were true..Brainwashed some of the Creatures near the sphere with his cruel dark magic..At first she thought that Giygas has returned..But as she learned more..She knew that there was a new threat. Who knows what he would do if Eagleland was indeed found...Who knows what he would do to her and her team mates if that Decoy did not work..But lucky it worked and so far Eagleland still remains missing..And now she's here..the most dangerous place in LI..


Paula looked towards A.I.M as he was busy scanning the area around him..she looked around to see if there was any Infected nearby..Nothing..She turned towards A.I.M.

"Hows the Scanning A.I.M?..Any signs of Starvia at your bit?" she said to him.

Ragna kept to himself while he was in the moving vehicle, not like he would go against orders, but his getting placed up on this list by none other than Hades really cheesed him off. that and he was begining to feel a bit wary about the place since he knew if Black shadow was here, then then he would haqve a brawl on his hands that he would most likely not walk out of unscathed.

"I'm definately gonna need to get this arm analized after this mission is successful..." ragna said, taking off the heavy red jacket he was wearing and stuffing it into a burlap sack that he had on him, then pulling out his Bloodscythe, he then began polishing the blade so that it would be shiny enough to slice through any of Black Shadows Minions.

{Sorry for the short post, I'm kinda low on muse atm...}

Adell jumped out of the vehicle himself, stretching. His 2 meter tie flopping around. It was nice to be getting out and about, but he was worried for the people sneaking in. Would they be ok all on their own? Probably, but he couldn't help but wonder. And Dark Pit over there wasn't helping much, as Adell shot him a dirty look as if to say, "Be quiet before you jinx it." It had been such a loooooong drive, and he began to stretch, getting loose just in case. But no matter how much he would usually deny it, there was a side of him hoping for them to mess up as well. He loved a good fight, and his love of fighting had earned him the nickname battle freak from Rozalin.

This side of him he refused too let out however, as he began to walk up to the edge of the cliff, keeping watch. If any infected came for them, they'd know. If there weren't any, that was good for them. It would mean that the other team's mission would be a piece of cake. But that briefing had put him, uneasy. He had never been overwhelmed by a large amount of enemies before, but that would be a stretch. He had never fought with any of these people in the past.  "So, how many do you think may be crammed down there? It's probably not very good for us, if there are a lot. I've fought a large number of enemies before, but I was with people I knew and cared for."

[Mr. Game & Watch]

These lands were odd, a sort of eerie tone radiating off them like nothing that any smash brother has felt before. This was the source of everything that caused the Starvia and potentially the end to everything. Unfortunately they weren’t here to stop it just yet, but at least they’ll know what their up against ahead of time. Even if all fails, A.I.M. will transmit the data it records back to the Life Sphere in order for future groups and individuals can learn from their mistakes. There were plenty to take their place if they didn’t return.

A.I.M. made itself busy by scanning the grass nearby, detecting many different variables including whether or not it was fake and if there was a difference between the grass further away from the Extraction and the fauna closer to it. Mostly the difference in Starvia traces, rather useless information on its own, but as a whole it could prove useful back at the labs. Besides, the machine would rather be doing something that may be helping someone than nothing at all.

The ROB rip off was confronted by the girl though, good thing the machine had already scanned all its allies when in the Egg Cracker, otherwise it would need to do so in front of them. It was a bit awkward sometimes, especially if they could hear what its internal computer was informing it about them. It stopped scanning as its optics honed in on Paula. “Traces of Starvia are everywhere. Even the air has faint signs of it. Starvia in the area confirmed” the machine reassured the girl.

“Calculated estimates place the number of infected enemies below as: unknown. Unit Black Shadow’s base dimensions are unknown and being hidden underground makes it difficult to calculate how many soldiers they potentially have. Li is covered with infected. The maximum amount of troops could be planet sized” the machine was quick to attempt to answer the large tie wearing male. “The entire planet being down there is illogical however. Presumably a large portion of their army. We aren’t required to fight them all, only as many as necessary.”

[Coolshaymin]

"Yeah, keeping the bulk of your army is a typical manuver. Ironically, basing yourself near your source of world conquest is also very typical of baddies. As much as I don't like to run, if we are to rescue them, we need to be out and in as quickly as possible. By the way A.I.M., E. Gadd never informed us, how are we getting the leaders out of there? Maybe Team Metal Gear could fit by themselves barely, but I doubt the addition of Samus, Sonic and Mario will fit in the Blue Falcon. And now that I think about it, this car isn't exactly a prime getaway vehicle," Dark Pit questioned with his legs on the dashboard and his arms behind his head in a relaxed position.

[Deleted]

Paula sat at the edge of the crackers door, this was a good spot for her for lookout..as she listened to Adell, A.I.M and Dark Pits talk about the plan..She did wonder..How will they get the hero's out?


"Maybe we can still use the Egg cracker, we just have to shoot any oncoming enemy's..hopefully not that Dark shadow guy..Either that or we could "Borrow" a ride." Paula said with a smile.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Might be a good idea if the Stealth Team manages to pull this off without getting caught in the process, then we'd be up a creek without a paddal. A.I.M.; next time Hades ropes me into one of his hairbrained schemes, tell him that I will be expecting him to 'ask' me so I am not totally left in the dark." Ragna said as he got out of the Egg Cracker, his Bloodscythe sheathed behind his heavy red jacket which was now back on, his Azure Grimoire arm seemed to give off a vibe that clearly made anyone who saw it shudder.

Ragna would use this time to look out over the horizon from on the top of the Egg Cracker, a posture that he would not relent upon unless it was time to take action. He was scared; he had to admit, but what was more terrible was the fact that he was still harboring a very dangerous power within his right arm.

[Deleted]

Adell, seeing Ragnar was taking watch, decided to lay down, who knew how long it'd take for them to get out. "Wake me when things go down." And he walked away and layer done to take a nap so as to pass the time. (Skip me until something happens)

[Mr. Game & Watch]

A.I.M. turned back to the Egg Cracker as Dark Pit’s voice echoed through the vehicle, still curious about the plan. It made sense since E Gadd was in a rush so not all details were well defined. In a time where getting the three back as quickly as possible and him having to run a city on his own he was going to slip on a few details. “The Blue Falcon does not have the most amount of space, but units Mario and Sonic are fairly small in size. Creator Samus’s morph ball form is also significantly small in diameter, so perhaps it won’t be too much of a problem. If the Blue Falcon is insufficient or we require any sort of replacement vehicle, this unit can contact unit E Gadd for air support. Air support would be much quicker, although it would give away our position, however, in the case that we are in need of back up our position is probably already lost” the machine droned on, most likely confirming Adell’s drifting off into sleep.

After A.I.M. had finished its exposition dump, it returned to scanning the surroundings in search of any data that might seem significant. It stopped at a small lumpy mound of grass that unperfected a nearly completely flat field. Its optics zoomed on the strange mutation of the ground. As the sage synthetic analyzed it though, a white hand sprung out of the ground and grabbed the machine’s ‘face’. Just as soon as the arm whipped out, it pulled A.I.M. underground. “Distress signal sent” the machine called out as it was pulled through the earth.

Mere seconds afterwards, more pale white arms tore out of the ground. A huge collection of them began to cling to the Egg Cracker and the earth beneath it slowly devoured it. A set of arms unleashed from both sides of the floor as Adell attempted to sleep, the lanky and skinny arms making a hugging motion around the man in order to drag him underground with the rest that they have been trying to retrieve. Another two jumped at Paula before she could try to flee from the vehicle, all the while another set of hands tried to whisk Ragna off of the roof of the Egg Cracker. Fortunately for Dark Pit, he wasn’t on the outside of the vehicle and out of range from the grasp of the white hands, but given that he was within a sinking ship, he would have to attempt to leave before the entire craft was buried.

(Everyone except Dark Pit make a Dex roll, you succeed in dodging the hands if you roll a 14 or higher, otherwise you will be pulled underground. As for Dark Pit, roll at least a 12 in order to escape the Egg Cracker successfully.)

(I will not be asking for rolls very often in this thread unless they are for narrative purposes, don’t worry too much.)

[Coolshaymin]

(BrockJones says... 14! Young Audience appluase.)

"Did they already get...?" Dark Pit started before he noticed what A.I.M. was talking about. "My ride!" Dark Pit exclaimed before activating his power of Flight and getting out of his vehicle as it sunk. Dark Pit decided to call the Telepathy Hotline, "Hey, Viridi, ever heard of white hands popping out of the ground and dragging people's rides underground?"




"What do you think? I am the goddess of NATURE, not FREAKS of nature. You will have to find that out on your own," Viridi's voice chimed in Dark Pit's mind.



"Some help you were. Fine, I'll keep in contact if you decide your goddess knowledge will actually be useful," Dark Pit retorted.

"Well hopefully we will be fine..I mean if we lose help i could just Pray.." Paula said..However she watched as an white arm grabbed A.I.M and dragged him underground.."AIM!" Paula shouted..But before she could try and rescue her partner..More white arms came out from the ground..2 Heading towards Paula..She had to think..FAST before she ends up in the ground like her friend...



pmU7Pl32p_1d20+2

Paula rolled off the egg cracker...Dodging the arms easily....She saw Adell slowly heading into the earth also..Still sleeping..she decided to help him first and get AIM after..She ran towards the arms that grabbed him and fired at them with PSI Fire..



p_1d20+3

As the fire took effect she managed to grab one of his hands.."Come on Adell, wake up!" She said as she tried to drag him out of the arms grip..1d20+2·1d20+3

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

DEX ROLL: 4{First Dex roll for Ragna in this mission is crap with a real d20 die.}

Sure something was up, but Ragna had his own problems to deal with, what with a pair of white hands grabbing him and pulling him underground like a rabbit entering its hole. thankfully he would anticipate the attempt.

"These crap rolls are starting to piss me off... I'll go after A.I.M., the rest of you try to find a way in and be careful!" Ragna said, attempting to strangle a white hand and rip it out of its socket, but too late, like the ROB rip-off, Ragna was pulled underground.

[Deleted]

(I did in an intell roll to see if a Adell herd her cries and woke up. I got 4, and was going with same as Dex roll to succeed. Damnit Adell.)

Adell, not hearing Paula's pleas remained asleep and was pulled underground as well. However, a faint scream could be heard through the dirt, asking where he was.
