Dragon Knight Volga @sssstariii Maverick Hunter Zero heirtothemonado

As soon as samus's ship flew away, the group would be greeted by the visage of something quite unexected indeed. Professor E. Gadd himself, Suddenly appearing and waving to the group of Squad Two.



"Greetings! Lets see if we can perform this strategy with the best of them!" E. Gadd would say, Walking off with the group, Getting atop a Hovering Vehicle, and inviting the rest of them to hop aboard for a quick rush to the other side. E. Gadd would drive the group toward the far opposite side, into the direct construction. The Construction site was filled with tons of Sonic's Supporters, Blindling setting metal in place to form the ships hull and Metals, Leading in cranes full of food that would be in better use in the mouths of the life sphere's actual citizens. And worse yet? GUN Robots and Machines, Each of them watching over the entirety of the construction, pushing those who are lazing around to hurry up.





"By goodeness! Those robots sure are crazy. Looks like you've all got quite a encounter ahead. Ive asked for some assistance from the life sphere's finest, Which will arrive soon to help you all out! But for now, here's some gifts made by yours truly to give an edge! Just go make some noise!" E. Gadd would say, Pulling out a Canister, And setting it to the group as it opened to reveal items for everyone!


Everyone has recieved;

1x E. gadd Bean Experimental Coffee! Tastes pretty darn bitter. Drink it, and gain a +2 to your Dex for 3 Turns! However, afterwards, you will suffer -2 Dex for 3 turns!! Destroyed upon use.

1x E. Gadd Experimental Shell! A Silver Koopa Shell with a. E. Gadd symbol on it! Slipping into this turtle shell givs you a +2 to your CON for as long as you wear it! However, it also allows you to be picked up and thrown like a Koopa shell by allies and enemies alike! Lasts for 3 Turns. Destroyed when taken off.

1x E. Gadd Flower Flower! A Fire Flower, that blasts a spray of Flower petals that deal Flower Status, as opposed to Fire and Burn status! Destroyed when used.


With that said, the group would witness the first group of Five GUN Hunters, Harassing a few Builders...Seems that was a start. Especially since, suddenly, E Gadd would shoot a Ray gun at them!


"Allright Samus, Were beginning the assault, Go go go!" E. gadd would say, as he looked at the group. "...What, May as well of been me to start this!"


(( Everyone! Choose One of your two characters to join the fight against the five GUN Hunters! ))

[Deleted]

Paula and Tomoko would soon arrive at the construction site and would meet up with Egadd. "You must be Egadd. We didn't expect you to join, but the more people helping us the better." Paula smiled the two girls then followed Egadd after being giving items and walked towards the five GUN hunters harassing workers. "Ugh, what a terrible use of military, and Sonic wants to spare robots like this?" Tomoko grumbled, but Paula hoped that they would see reason.

Unfortunately that quickly changed when when Egadd opened fire on them, the two girls looked upwards before looking each other. "Well put it this way, they were probably going to open fire at us the moment we talk bad about this project." Paula tried to guess Egadd's sudden open fire. Either way she was going to join this fight, but Tomoko didn't want to be hit by bullets, so she's going to stay at the sidelines for now.

"Right, i'll stay in the back. Be careful Paula, and everyone else who joins this battle." Tomoko nodded. Paula flew over beside Egadd and prepared for battle with the GUN Hunters. "I'm ready for battle." Paula showed support in this battle as she waited for Volga and either Shulk, Rundas, Death or Gargos to join this battle, Tomoko stayed at the back, holding her book close.

[heirtothemonado]

Both Shulk and Rundas watched as Samus's gunship flew away toward the gunship, leaving them and a handful of others to lead the majority of Sonic's forces. Luckily, they weren't stuck with this impossible task alone. They had each others backs.

Shortly after Samus left, E. Gadd arrived to take them to the drop zone. Once there, Rundas looked out on to the sea of Sonic supporters. "It's like First to Fall all over again" he noted. Except this time, Sonic was the one they were distracting, not any Stravia creature. Rundas took the supplies that E. Gadd had handed to him, and gave half of them to Shulk. "You best have your wits about you if you want to survive, kid" Rundas told Shulk.

"Don't worry" the Homs replied "I've had my fair share of scraps with robots. I know just what to do." Shulk activated the Monado and pointed it toward the robots as E. Gadd alerted all of them to their presence. "Their all as good as scrap."

(Shulk has taken his place beside Paula for this wave!)

Gargos was piqued with interest but decided it would be wise to let other people take the helm as he stood on standby, Death on the other hand had stepped up and was already in his second form(his actual combat form) and was prepped by giving a monstrous cackle.

"I hope these machines are capable of posing a challenge to our combined might otherwise we will be in trouble should more turn up." the grim reaper said dryly, giving the robots a malicious stare, the fact that machines had no soul proved pointless already as Death found it quite baffling and annoying to his job of bringing souls to the hereafter, which meant either the pearly gates of heaven or the firy pits of hell to those he culled the souls of.

But no matter, the grim reaper was patient, as all things must end in death with him being the one who brings it.

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga rode to the construction site with the others. As E. Gadd fired at the robots, he flew into position. The Dragon Knight growled at his new foes. Volga wondered if these would be worthy opponents.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

[Due to Quote’s computer issues, with his permissions, I shall be taking over this encounter until further notice]

“Froggy can’t hold hammer! How froggy suppose to help if he can’t hold hammer?” Big the Cat tried to reason with his robotic enforcer, whilst holding his amphibious friend up to the Gun Hunter.

The machine seemed rather disinterested by the giant cat’s pleas and continued to hold the slave worker at gun point whilst one of its fellow enforcers stood watch. It pressed forward, heating up its rifle. “Unwillingness to comply with instructions will result in… termination of contract” it further specified as it nudged its gun to further cement the terms of termination.

“Please! I only just got Froggy back! It takes forever for me to find Froggy again!” he cried in distress as he curled himself into a ball and hid his frog friend underneath his bodice.

Before the scene could further transpire, a stray shot from E Gadd’s ray gun pelted one of the imposing machines in the chassis, though not the one that had a gun pointed at Big. The machine recoiled slightly, grabbing at the black splotch on its armour. “Ow! Hey, this unit did nothing wrong! Initiating outrage protocol!” it stated, shaking its fist and gun arm into the air.

The other turned toward the invasive force, pulling the barrel of its gun away from Big and allowing the cat to scurry away, for now at least. “Unit Beta has been hit! Resistance detected, units Omicron, Iota, and Zeta to this unit’s coordinate immediately!” the machine relayed through its COMM link. Without much other prompting, it pointed its firearm forward, along with Beta. In unison, the duo fired off a volley of blue gel-like substance that would prove to be incredibly sticky if the adventurers were not careful!

Blue Gel: 13% damage + if opponent’s dodge roll is less than half of this attack accuracy roll, -2 Mod to dodge rolls for 1 turn.

[Alpha’s Blue Gel: du066AS5p_1d20+2 / 13% damage @ Volga]
[Alpha’s Blue Gel: p_1d20+2 / 13% damage @ Paula]
[Beta’s Blue Gel: p_1d20+2 / 13% damage @ Shulk]
[Beta’s Blue Gel: p_1d20+2 / 13% damage @ Death]

And then, as though they shared the same mind, Alpha and Beta trained their guns on E Gadd and switched settings to a more lethal variant of their blaster’s fire!

[Alpha’s Pew Pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% damage @ E Gadd]
[Beta’s Pew Pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% damage @ E Gadd]

Whilst Alpha and Beta initiated the barrage, their reinforcements were not too far behind. Omicron, Iota, and Zeta flew onto the scene a few seconds after they were called upon, the latter two setting down directly next to the bots that called upon them. Together, they stated “target acquired” and then proceeded to anchor themselves into the ground and pointed their weapons forward. The puny blasters transformed into Gatling Guns and then proceeded to cover the battlefield in a storm of bullets.

Gatling Gun: Each shot deals 22% damage, however, Gun Hunter must anchor itself in place to be able to utilize this attack, which prevents it from using any other attack this turn. On the next turn of combat, Gun Hunter is incapable of dodging or shielding the first move that is used against it.

[Iota’s Gatling Gun 1: p_1d20+2 / 22% damage @ Paula]
[Iota’s Gatling Gun 2: p_1d20+2 / 22% damage @ Shulk]
[Iota’s Gatling Gun 3: p_1d20+2 / 22% damage @ E Gadd]

[Zeta’s Gatling Gun 2: p_1d20+2 / 22% damage @ Paula]
[Zeta’s Gatling Gun 3: p_1d20+2 / 22% damage @ Shulk]

While the rest of the team remained in one general area, Omicron jetted ahead of the rest of the crowd, singling out a target of its own to focus on. Boosting its thrusters, Omicron set its sights on Volga and intended to ram the warrior down before he could even make a move against it!

Ramming Speed!: Activating its jet thrusters, Gun Hunter rams down its opponent! Deals 30% - target’s CON stat. 1 turn cooldown.

[Omicron’s Ramming Speed: p_1d20+2 / 30% - 14 = 16% damage @ Volga]

While Omicron was still near its selected foe, it began to over clock its systems, choosing to slightly sabotage itself to inflict a greater pain onto its adversary and a nearby ally of his!

Overload: Overcharging its own circuitry, Gun Hunter will release an electronic blast on all foes within proximity. Deals 25% damage + 5% recoil with a 2 turn cooldown.

[Omicron’s Overload: p_1d20+2 / 25% - 5% = 20% damage @ Volga & Death]

While the spike to its systems was somewhat disorienting, that didn’t mean that Omicron was finished just yet. The machine pushed off the ground once more, using its flight capabilities to its advantage and took yet another pot shot on Volga.

[Omicron’s Pew Pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% damage @ Volga]

Paula took out her frying pan and prepared for battle with the bots. She noticed Big nearby getting threatened with a bullet through his head if he didn't continue working on the space ship, much to Paula's shock. "That robot's holding that fat fox hostage? Guys what if he's not the only one that's being put through this situation?" Paula asked the others with a sound of worry, with Tomoko shrugging nearby in a area where she will hopefully not get hit by any of the robot's attacks. "It would make sense. I would be forced to work here if I get threatened to be shot at, although I would happily burn whoever's threatening me alive." Paula turned back to see the arrival of the other robots.

Who then proceeded to attack the five, the first of which appeared to be blue gel, then gun bullets and finally more bullets.

sJdj0Fbbp_1d20+2(Paula nailed it with the gel!)

p_1d20+2(I'm surprised she dodged this roll.)

p_1d20+2(And this one too.)

Paula managed to dodge all three attacks, with the first of bullets from the gatling gun just missing her by the skin of her teeth thanks to the quick use of her flight ability's. After dodging she landed back down next to the group and turned towards Alpha and Beta, her intended targets. "Quick suggestion, I think we should take down those two robots first. That blue gel they keep firing can cause problems if we don't do anything about them." Paula suggested to the four as she prepared to fire off some PSI towards Alpha, but before that, she wanted to give her a team an extra boost.

She looked over to Shulk and quickly cast defence up on him to help him with dodging anymore attacks. "Here's a little boost to help you out Shulk!" Paula called to him before casting her power onto the boy.


(Shulk's defence rises by 1+)


Now to focus on Alpha and Beta, starting with the former first.

p_1d20+3(CRITICAL PSI FIRE > Alpha: It will give the robot 12%)

"I guess were sort off to a good start." Paula cajoled to her team, trying to look on the bright side of this important mission.1d20+2·1d20+2·1d20+2·1d20+3·1d20+3

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga was hardly surprised when the imposing robots began attacking immediately. He attempted to dodge the blue goop that Alpha Robot shot at him.

1EDGNV4Yp_1d20+0 (Blu Gel dodge)

Fortunately, the Dragon Knight dodged it with ease. However, another robot attempted to get the drop on him by running him down.

p_1d20+0 (Ramming Speed dodge)

Unfortunately, the draconic warrior was too slow and the robot slammed into him. Volga's armour provided decent protection, though, and he quickly got up as the annoying scrap heap sent an electric blast at him and the skeleton man nearby.

p_1d20+0 (Overload dodge)

He mercifully dodged this, but was too preoccupied with his foe's gunfire to worry about Mr. Skeleton.

p_1d20+0 (Pew Pew dodge)

Sadly, the Dragon Knight was unable to avoid the gunfire and was peppered with bullets. However, it simply made him mad and he was far from out of the game. He turned his attention to the Alpha machine and threw his Freezie at it.

1d20+0 (Volga's Freezie @ Alpha)

He then turned his attention to his antagonist, Omnicron, and attempted to fry it with a torrent of flames exhaled at it.

(OOC note: I'm assuming Paula's buff to Shulk was a DEX buff? You should make that a bit clearer, Starii)

Receiving Paula's boost with gratitude, Shulk barely was able to get a word of thanks out before the robots began their assault on them.

r7R762U|p_1d20+2 (Shulk's dodge of the Blue Gel.)

Of course, the abruptness of the robots attack made it pretty difficult for Shulk to get away. "Ugh" Shulk exclaimed in disgust. Blue gel was supposed to be bouncy, not sticky, right? Luckily for Shulk, he did manage to get partially avoid the gunk, so he wasn't completely covered in it. A good thing too, because the robots were ramping up for another attack, aiming there guns straight at the young Homs

p_1d20+2 (Shulk's dodge of Iota's Gatling Gun)

Unfortunately, getting out of the way of one robot put Shulk right in harms way for the other. On reflex, Shulk crossed his arms over his face, holding the Monado in front of his body. That defensive stance was enough to activate a transparent red shield around himself.

(Shulk Bubble Shield's Zeta's Gatling Gun! Shield: 45->23)

Shulk looked up again once the bullets have stopped, and, seeing everything was safe, leapt to attack the robots. Swinging the Monado in a large horizontal arc, Shulk slashed at all the units in front of him.

p_1d20-1 (Shulk's Stream Edge! DMG 13%, Hit's all foes in front of Shulk)

Meanwhile, Rundas stayed under cover. The robots hadn't seen him yet, so if the group go in trouble, he could get in there and surprise them.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Death was now assessing the situation, making mental notes to be ready to bring some form of retribution because of hostile work environment and equally terrible working conditions. The first thing the robots did upon finding out that there were intruders as a result of E. Gadd's shot, and it wasn't a good thing, was assault the group... And one of them decided to pick a fight with Death first by shooting Blue Gel at him.
DEX ROLL A: 16{COUNTDOWNS!}

Death would simply flashstep this attack and give the robot a Kubrick stare that would have been intimidating but actually wasn't, the next attack came from a gatling gun used by another robot.
DEX ROLL B: 10{ON!}

Luckily the grim reaper decided to stay put as the bullets were flying everywhere but at him, at least he knew to keep hit thoughts about them to himself, all while still giving the robots the Kubrick stare though the overload in one robot would be something to worry about.
DEX ROLL C: 9{MOTORCYCLES!}

Despite the attacks, to say death was not amused was an understatement, he soon let out a sinister cackle that could easily be heard even while people were still inside the gunship regardless of the structure and thickness of the hull. "Who taught you junk bots how to aim, the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy? Ah well, I guess you'll be the first ones to go to hell when I'm through with ya." Death said darkly, beady red dots coming to life inside his socketless eyes, though the flickered down so they did not startle his allies of convenience.

Death would use this time to become invisible with his Invisibility cloak, and would begin making erratic movements to try and disorient the robots.

Invisibility Cloak activated, Death is invisible for 2 turns, 3 turn cooldown in effect.

Then he would take a big swing and attempt to Smite one of the robots who attempted to bring him down, and hopefully tear an opening into the gunship.
STR ROLL: 19+1=20{Mod-crit Deathscythe @ GUN bot Zeta; 20% dmg if it connects}

"No matter how thick the hull of this rodents newly constructed toy, my scythe shall cut clean through." Death said as he kept moving to keep the bots disoriented.

Meanwhile, Gargos decided to address E. Gadd in an attempt to make a suggestion. "An idea has occurred to me, some of us should find any people who need rescuing from that hedgehog's cruel working conditions and get them to safety, and we must be discreet about it so the blue rodent doesn't catch on. What say you on this?" Gargos said in a rather blunt tone that made him look as though he had been thinking this through for some time.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Disclaimer: When typing out this post my die rolls got reset and, you know, getting to the 1900 word mark I was not incredibly interested in rewriting my entire post and resetting the damage counters for my enemies. All my rolls (up until the last dodge roll of the GUN robots) are in accordance to the site dice before they got reset. (I think there’s a limit to how many dice you can use per post, so I would’ve had to change up my dice tactics anyways).

E Gadd continued to bob the joysticks on his mobile platform as though he was on an aerobics machine, still riding off the high that he got from claiming first blood. His old bones were rattling in excitement, though his focus returned to the battle since it seemed that his reckless shot in the dark caused more machine to join the fray. Well, it wouldn’t have been fun if they were all just beating up on the same two machines, now would it?

[DODGE!: 9 + 1 = 10]
[DODGE!: 9 + 1 = 10]
[DODGE!: 20 + 1 = 21]

The machine zipped through the first plasma bolt with barely an inch to spare, though his attempts at rectifying his position only caused him to get hit by the next shot, Beta getting a little revenge for the uncalled-for ray gun blast from earlier. The shot sent E Gadd careening backward wildly, meaning that the Gatling barrage heading his way meant absolutely nothing. Feeling the effects of being spun out, the old man sat for a second to wipe off his dizzy spell, though this allowed Gargos of all people to approach him and give off some sagely advice.

“Oh ho ho ho, an excellent suggestion my gracious gargoyle! The benchwarmers could use a little something to do! Quick, my friends, while we have the security guards at bay, save those civilians!” he commanded as he corrected his floaty machine and then rode off into battle once more. That left Gargos, Rundas, and Tomoko with the option to duck through the fray of battle to get the workers out of harm’s way.

In the meantime, E Gadd took his glorious return to the battlefield, zooming over Volga and took notice of the bullying that Omicron was inflicting on the knight. While it might be presumptuous to assume that he needed it, but a little help couldn’t hurt. As such, the professor smashed a big red button on his console (because what mad scientist could refuse big red buttons?). A particle beam released from one of the ports on his mobile machine, striking Volga instead of the bot. He would soon find that it helped more than it hurt.

Pixelator: Infusing an ally with his pixelator machine makes their body pixelated, making the bits of their body unstable, thus capable of phasing through or jumping in space to avoid attacks that they might not have been able to dodge otherwise. For the duration of the turn, the target may re-roll a failed dodge roll, only once per dodge roll. 2 turn cooldown.

Without much hesitation, E Gadd pulled out his ray gun and flicked a little switch on it that said ‘stun’ blasting Omicron with his pistol tilted sideways (which seemed to impair its accuracy significantly), that’s how the kids did it these days, right?

[System Spike: 1 + 3 = 4 / 14% + 20% chance to Virus]

“That’s still experimental, so let me know of any side effects!” the kooky scientist laughed as he pointed to Volga.

E Gadd decided that he had spent enough time with his little diversion, so he zoomed further into the battlefield and slammed his fist on yet another giant button on his console (this one being yellow for reasons that will be apparent soon enough). A little door on his aircraft opened and released a mighty bolt of lightning, that chased after Alpha.

The construction site was bustling with workers, however, most were much deeper into the area than the team was currently fighting within, so there was a limited number of civilians that were within their reach without compromising their position and calling upon more security guards to join the fray. For the time being, there were at least three stragglers within the immediate vicinity, one for each of the ‘benchwarmers’, though which they could take depended on which they chose that wasn’t already being tended to by another of their teammates.

Big the Cat

Upon slipping past the GUN hunters that were swarming the area, you find the original hostage free roaming around the worksite, though he looks incredibly agitated. You notice that he doesn’t have his aquatic friend with him like he did earlier, which could only mean one thing, he lost Froggy… again. “Ah! Oh, you’re a part of that team over there! I can’t leave without my Fwoggy!” he announced hectically as he pointed to his amphibian friend who was hopping away in the distance, quite quickly in fact. It might even be a test of your speed to catch that frog! Then again, it was just a frog, Big was still in the line of fire, so it wasn’t safe to just leave him there!

A) Attempt to chase after Froggy (must roll 14 DEX or higher).
B) Brute force it and pull Big out of there, frog or not.

Blaine

Upon a higher rafter, you find a rather elderly man still welding the side of the gunship, in a location that way too close for comfort in the brawl. In fact, if a stray shot were to batter against his workstation, the entire structure could possibly collapse. The determined worker continued his job though, not caring what environment they put him in. Blaine was here to finish a job and he wasn’t one to give up so easily. Upon setting down at his location, the man’s head perks for a moment. “I’m working…” he trailed off as he allowed his tool to cool off for a moment. “And I will see to the end of it so long as I breathe. The Starvia has infested this planet far greater than we could ever imagined. Its destruction is the only course of action we can take. With this starship, we can all go home, I don’t understand why the rest of you haven’t recognized this yet” Blaine solemnly quizzed at the person who approached him. He seems like a reasonable man just supporting the other team, perhaps he could be reasoned with?

A) Abandon the old man, there are other people you could be saving.
B) Brute force it, lugging Blaine away with or without his permission.
C) Convince Blaine to come quietly (must roll 13 CHR or higher).

Crash Man

While he could be seen carrying a set of tools (not incredibly well based on his lack of hands) not too long after the fight broke out, a stray shot managed to clip the support beam of one of the ship’s unattached engines, causing a chain reaction that toppled over the heavy piece of machinery. The gigantic hunk of metal fell upon the robot master. He was quick enough to avoid being completely squashed, but his arm was still quite pinned down by the piece of machinery. The machine struggled for a bit, attempting to pierce his drill through the metal, but it was far too thick, in fact the material it was made from chipped the end of his weapon. It was far too heavy for him to lift on his own, he was going to need some strength to back him up. On the other hand, the connection port between his arm and socket was incredibly weak due to the engine clamping his arm down.

A) Attempt to help Crash Man lift the engine enough to release his arm (must roll 13 STR or higher).
B) Brute force it, he can always get his arm replaced when he gets back to the Life Sphere.

Alpha and Beta retracted their guns to better assess the battlefield with the effects of their blue gel tactics. The results were not as they calculated, however, Beta leapt forward with great gratification as one of its laser blasts struck the sucker punching old man. “This unit declares victory in its favour!” it announced with a raise of its robotic fist. The time for celebration soon ceased as the little girl sent a series of fire balls their way.

[Alpha Bubble Shields Psi Fire]
[Beta Bubble Shields Psi Fire]

In unison, the two machines activated their bubble shields with great urgency.

[Alpha Freezie DODGE!: 9 + 2 = 11]

While Beta had no reason to fret, Alpha immediately deactivated its shield and blasted its jets into the air to avoid getting pelted with a miniature iceberg.

[Alpha Stream Edge DODGE!: 6 + 2 = 8]
[Beta Stream Edge DODGE!: 4 + 2 = 6]

Though within seconds of being shot into the air, Alpha was struck back down by a harsh lashing of Shulk’s blade, the after effects being felt by not only one of its allies, but two. Beta was rather helpless in this scenario, being pushed back by the stream of energy as well.

[Alpha Chip Zap DODGE!: 13 + 2 = 15]
[Beta Chip Zap DODGE!: 17 + 2 = 19]

More unfortunate events were being thrown at Alpha as E Gadd gave the machine a good zapping while it was still trying to recover from the previous attack. In the meantime, Beta slipped area from the blast zone, noticing that the electric currents from E Gadd’s Chip Zap were radiating off its compatriot and chose wisely to avoid the area altogether. “Beta should stop associating with Alpha, everything bad that happens to Beta is a causation of association with Alpha!”

Omicron spread its arms out whilst hovering in the air, challenging its opponent to try and hit it. A thin lens even covered its sole optics, though it wasn’t a shutter, it looked like a light resistant material, like it was wearing a mono-lensed sunglass.

[Omicron Fire Blast DODGE!: 20 + 2 = 22]

Omicron dipped out of range from the torrent of fire, performing a backflip for extra style to show its opponent just how ready it was to avoid the telegraphed attack. To further cement the machine’s arrogance, it brushed its shoulder off, looking without worse for wear.

[Omicron System Spike DODGE!: 16 + 2 = 18]

The machine didn’t even pay attention to any of the other combatants on the battlefield, a bit too busy with showboating around the dragon suited man. Luckily for it though, E Gadd’s own poor attempt at being cool made the blaster shot a non-issue, unthreatening sailing over the machine’s cranium.

[Zeta Stream Edge DODGE!: Cannot Dodge]

Meanwhile, the two anchored bots released their feet from the surface of the ground, although Zeta’s process was interrupted by the sudden blast from Shulk’s Monado, knocking the machine back, slamming against the ground.

[Zeta Bubble Shields Deathscythe]

As a natural protocol, Zeta activated its bubble shield since it was quite defenseless in its current state. It was in luck considering that an invisible foe attempted to strike it while it was down.

[Zeta Chip Zap DODGE!: 15 + 2 = 17]

The GUN robot wobbled back onto its two feet, though had little time to react. It noticed a spark in the corner of its optic, allowing it to avoid entering the arc flash that was devastating its side of the battlefield.

Iota’s shutter flickered once or twice as it safely unanchored itself from the ground, much to its surprise. It scanned the battlefield to make certain that it was safe from any remote projectiles, pumping its fist in excitement. “Iota superior, all other units inferior!” it announced whilst performing its safety dance.

“Initiate counter attack, unit Alpha requires cover fire!” Zeta commanded as it swung back into the fray, the barrel of its gun honing down on their opponents.

“Of course, enemies always assume Alpha holds more importance because its name is Alpha. Nobody ever considers Iota a threat, this upsets Iota greatly” Iota robotically stated whilst holding out its weapon as well. The duo blasted another round of blue gel at the aggressors targeting down Alpha.

[Zeta’s Blue Gel: p_1d20+2 / 13% + dodge roll under half, -2 Mod to dodge rolls for 1 turn @shulk]<19>

Followed by a round of regular fire.

[Iota’s Pew pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% Paula Polestar] <8>
[Zeta’s Pew pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% @shulk] <10>

“This unit does not understand what stormtrooper is” Zeta answered to Death’s taunt.

“Neither does this unit, but it activates this unit’s outrage protocol!” Iota complied as it wavered its weapon wildly, rapid firing on the duo that dared to initiate combat on Alpha. Zeta followed suit, providing cover fire to its ally.

Cover Fire: Gun Hunter attempts to aid its allies by wildly firing on the enemy. This makes it difficult for the enemy to aim on the first attack of their next turn, receiving a -3 to accuracy. This attack deals 15% damage, however, it receives a -3 to its own accuracy roll. This attack does not need to land for its secondary effects to affect the enemy.

Due to the efforts of its comrades, Alpha could push itself back into the fight, though it was surrounded by foes, so it had to rectify that. Lifting itself back up with the use of its jet boosters, the machine quickly rushed out of the area, slamming through Paula as it charged forward.

[Alpha’s Ramming Speed: p_1d20+2 / 30% - 9 = 21% Paula Polestar] <15>

Before it was freed from the position of the enemies, it overloaded its systems to try and fry the other two that were causing it difficulties with a shockwave of sparking electricity!

[Alpha’s Overload: p_1d20+2 / 38% - 5% = 33% @shulk and E Gadd] <22>

While the recoil of the move made the machine slightly dizzy, it could drift a good distance away, firing another shot at E Gadd for good measure, though its jets shorted out shortly after its barrage, grounding the machine once more.

[Alpha’s Pew pew: p_1d20+2 / 18% @e Gadd] <19>

In the mean time, Beta was a bit busy trying to corner a pesky enemy, one that it noticed had turned itself invisible. While its ability to levitate made him quite tricky to locate, Beta allowed its motion detector setting to guide it in the right direction. “Scanning…” the machine stated drolly.

[Beta’s Perception roll 1: p_1d20+2] <12>

“Nifty! Gah! Did not know this unit was programmed to say nifty! Curse this unit’s programmer!” the machine shouted as it anchored its feet into the ground. “Deploying Gatling Guns! This unit must deplete rage stack!” it continued to lament as it readied its guns and fired wildly in Death’s general direction.

[Beta’s Gatling Gun 1: p_1d20+2 / 22% @death] <16>
[Beta’s Perception roll 2: p_1d20+2] <12>
[Beta’s Gatling Gun 2: p_1d20+2 / 22% @death] <19>

[Beta’s Gatling Gun 3: p_1d20+2 / 22% @death] <9>

After its sweet display of its mad skills, Omicron cocked its weapon and descended over the dragon knight once more, blasting the perpetrator with a nice coating of blue gel to put the man into a sticky situation, doubling the dosage for the sake of preventing its new friend from getting away.

[Omicron’s Blue Gel 1: [3 + 2 = 5] / 13% + dodge roll under half, -2 Mod to dodge rolls for 1 turn @volga] <Exceeded roll limit
[Omicron’s Blue Gel 2: [5 + 2 = 7] / 13% + dodge roll under half, -2 Mod to dodge rolls for 1 turn @volga]

While the display was not incredibly impressive, the machine continued to think highly of itself, outputting a sort of mock laughter as though it were a sinister villain. Turning its head away, it pointed its laser cannon directly at the man and fired upon him without even looking.

[Omicron’s Pew Pew: [12 + 2 = 14] / 18% @volga]

GSV_MSxTp_1d20+2(Perfect dodge!)

p_1d20+2(Great job Paula!)

p_1d20+2(But of course...)

p_1d20+2(You got hit.)

Paula rolled past the first two attacks the robots gave to her, but unfortunately she was hit by the next two attacks, including being rammed and shot at, sending her to the ground "Argh!" Paula cried out in pain before landing on the ground. She quickly got up and played with her hair before taunting the robots. "Is that the best you can do? Goomba's are better fighters." She joked with the robots, but was dismayed to find that Alpha and Beta managed to dodge her two attacks thanks to the bubble shield. "Curse those shields. Oh well, time to see if they can survive electricity." Paula's hands lit up with sparks as she quickly flew up slightly in the air and shot down two electric attacks to Alpha and Beta, determined to take them down. "Let's see if your shields can block this." Paula tested the robots.

p_1d20+3(CRITICAL PSI THUNDER! > Alpha.)

p_1d20+3(PSI Thunder > Beta: If hit, he'll gain 10% with a 5% chance of paralysis.)


Landing soon after preforming her attacks, Paula noticed how the robots seemed to be on edge and had a bit of an unstable relationship with each other, which gave her a great idea on how to make the battle easier. She ran forward before delivering a pan smash into Alpha.

p_1d20+1(Frying Pan > Alpha: If hit, he'll gain 8% damage.)

p_1d20-2(She's not even going to try yet.)

Paula was about to say something to Alpha, but decided against it for now and continued to fight.

Meanwhile Tomoko watched the fight until Egadd told her, along with Rundas and Gargos, the bench warmers, to go rescue people that were forced to make the ship. "Rude that you called us benchwarmers but ok!" Tomoko looked at Big, Blaine and Crash Man, deciding to help the latter since his arm is stuck. "I'm going to help the man with the arm." Tomoko informed Gargos and Rundas before running to Crash Man's aide.

When she got to him she looked down at his stuck arm and leaned down. "Don't worry, i'll get you arm out." Tomoko comforted Crash Man before pulling on the metal and tried to lift it up. "Jeez. Sonic's really cutting corners to get this ship into space." Tomoko thought as she continued to pull upwards.

"I failed to rescue my friends back at the Locomotive. But this time i'm not going to leave anyone behind."

p_1d20+2(And with amazing strength, Tomoko has lifted the metal.)

To Tomoko's amazement, she lifted up the metal on her first try, which would allow Crash Man to get his arm out. However she struggled to hold onto the metal and looked back down at Crash Man. "Quick, get your arm out, hurry!" She told the man as she tried her best to hold onto the metal for as long as she could.

[Dragon Knight Volga]

Volga was somewhat annoyed when the arrogant robot dodged his flames. However, he turned his gaze away from the walking scrap heap when E. Gadd appeared, turning his body to pixels with some mysterious beam. "Very well." the Dragon Knight replied as the mad scientist zoomed away. Not long after this, Volga was again targeted with blue gel, with two shots this time.

UhPtlaqsp_1d20+0 (Blue Gel Shot 1 dodge)
p_1d20+0 (Blue Gel Shot 2 dodge)

He dodged both gel shots with ease before Omnicron fired on him again.

p_1d20+0 (Pew Pew dodge)
17+0= 17 (Pixelator re-roll)

The Dragon Knight was unable to dodge, but instead of getting peppered with gun-fire, his pixelated body simply phased through it without sustaining any damage. Volga decided to take advantage of his foe facing the wrong way and let out a bellowing war cry before charging at Omnicron with his Dragon Spear, leaving a trail of flames behind him.

[heirtothemonado]

Shulk grinned as his attack connected with the majority of the robots, but his personal celebration was cut short a bit early, because he'd earned the attention of the robots that he had attacked, and they had trained their weapons on him. Shulk looked around nervously. He might need some help with this. Raising the Monado, Shulk focused, flipping though the mystical sword's functions until....

The Monado's blade shifted color, changing to a deep blue, as an aura of a similar color surrounded Shulk. As if the sword itself was guiding him, Shulk faced the robots, trusting the Monado to help him avoid the attacks.

(Shulk activates Monado Speed! DEX +4 for 3 turns)

p_1d20+5 (Shulk's dodge of Alpha's Overload)

Unfortunately, while the Monad0 did help him avoid getting sprayed by the Blue Gel again, it wasn't enough to help Shulk dodge everything else.  

Getting to his feet after that onslaught, Shulk eyed the robot that was causing the most trouble. Targeting Zeta, Shulk tried to sneak up behind him and hit him from behind.

p_1d20-1 (Shulk's CRIT Backslash! DMG 18%)

"Backslash!" Shulk cried out.

Meanwhile, Rundas listened to E. Gadd's words. He was right. There were probably many people that were "helping" Sonic build this ship that weren't too thrilled to be here. Looking around, Rundas spotted the cat that the robots had been torturing earlier. Why had he not left yet? Didn't he realize that it was dangerous to stay in the battlefield?

Rundas quietly ran over to Big, who was quick to inform him of his amphibian's  escape. "It's just a frog..." Rundas remarked. But Big was so insistent there was no way that Rundas would be able to get him out of there until he was reunited with his beloved frog.

p_1d20+1 (Rundas' attempt to catch Froggy)

With a burst of speed, Rundas grabbed the escaping frog just as he was about to jump out of reach. He handed him to Big "Here's your frog back. Now, you need to get out of here before you get hurt even more."

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Death had a blast in confusing one of the GUN bots, surprisingly enough his antics got on the nerves of unit Beta, who would attempt to gun him down.
DEX ROLL A: 17{invisible}
DEX ROLL B: 19{invisible}
{Death bubble shields third gatling gun salvo} 60-10(activation)-22(Gatling Gun)=28 Shield durability remaining

Death decided to make an example of the GUN bot by way of Hurling a sadistically cold black orb at it to make it incapable of moving.
WIS ROLL: 14+1=15{Orb of Gahena @ GUN bot Beta; 5% dmg and 100% freeze chance if it connects}

Then the grim reaper proceeded to hack Beta twice over in order to make it bleed what machines bleed out when slashed by a sharp blade.
STR ROLL A: 15+1=16{Spinning Scythe @ GUN bot Beta; 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}
STR ROLL B: 12+1=13{Spinning Scythe @ GUN bot Beta; 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}

"You Soulless bugs ought to focus on punishing that blue spined rodent, rather than trying to tackle the task of fighting battles you know you cannot hope to win. But what do I know, I could tell you that if you succeed in killing the planet, you condemn yourselves, your boss, and all his allies to a perpetual fate worse than death by starving yourselves out and kill one another via cannibalism, but what's the fun in causing your death in space when you are destined to perish on this planet to begin with." Death said with a gleefully trolling attitude to the GUN bot he had attempted to massacre.

Meanwhile, Gargos decided to have a chinwag with the hot-blooded quiz master, Blaine. "I don't think that there will be any such thing as a home you can go to while in the vastness of outer space, now come quietly and calmly so there will be no trouble. And think of all the trainers of Pokemon who want to get your badge only to find out that you have turned against them because of what is happening... Do you want the word traitor engraved on your resume" Gargos said with a good deal of patience in his voice despite the sinister features he had.
CHA ROLL: 15-1=14{convincing Blaine to not turn traitor on Mario.}

"Hopefully you will see things from a better perspective as I send you back to the Life Sphere." Gargos said as he opened a portal underneath Blaine that transported him back to the dome.
