The old robot factory stood there, but it now stood out among the other buildings. Where there were broken pieces of the building there were Black and Red metal covering up the broken parts. The lights inside the building were also all on, as if whoever is keeping this place online wants to be noticed. There were also noises of machines, mainly production running inside the building, indicating someone was creating robots in there, as if amassing an army.

Yami was deep inside the building, watching the production of all the machines and other manners inside the building. Yami was plotting to take down the only thing that has ever stood in his way, the sun goddess Amateratsu. He was hoping the place would attract her attention, but there was another reason. After their battle and Yami's rebirth, Yami's power has been significantly weaker. He was stuck as this useless Fish in  a fish bowl with blue markings simmilar to Yami's that could only be seen by few. He's been slowly getting stronger from the Gang War going on, but that wasn't enough. He needed a strong source of darkness close to him, whether it be sinful or otherwise, without he couldn't summon his Sphere of Dark Mechanical power. He sits and waits deep inside, ready to give trouble to whoever dares try to enter his domain.

On a hill next to the factory, Black Mage looks at the Factory. He wasn't too familiar with robots but he did sense a very dark Magical energy eminating from the factory so he was determined to find the source. Another thing is the energy seemed to be slightly similar to Ammy's but... darker. This could be a way to learn more about that mysterious wolf so he felt inclined to join. Machines being unknown to him, he figured he needed to wait for his allies to get here. He mostly got here first and without slowing down due to his trusty Haste spell boosting his speed. Who knows, maybe some of his allies for this mission might be as interesting as Ammy.

READY?

GO!

I saw an old,lighten up factory,I could see small mechanized lifeforms,robots.Black and red metal covered the surface,I didn't see a single light off in the whole area,and it was very easy to become blind from looking at the light,but I was fine,though I preferred the darkness.I saw a man in blue,his face covered in black,or was his face just normally black?I couldn't tell.He wore a yellow magicians hat,so I figured he was magician.I approached him thinking, and hoping,that he was one of the mission members.
"Hey,is this the spot for the mission?"I asked,my buster sword was getting heavy now,not to bad,but I was exhausted. I took out a healing bottle and drank some,then tossed it to the mage next to me,"Names cloud by the way,drink up,we'll need it."

Hazama started his long adventure, using his Ouroboros chains to fling himself through the occasional branch and destroyed street light. A miracle he somehow found his chain landing far behind to one of his allies, The black mage. Hazama found himself landing onto the ground his Ouroboros chain was stuck into, picking it up form the ground as the chain dissipated. He stored the snake head into his back pocket for easy use before putting his hands in his pockets and walking up to the mage.

"You aren't Yami, are you?" Hazama said to the black mage, adjusting his hat to show his eyes that looked very slim, almost as if they were just slants. He had a very...dark aura about him. Something that was very evil. But, this wouldn't exactly need to be noted until the confrontation with Yami. Hazama gave a small grin, showing his dagger like teeth. "Glad you aren't. You look...'Strong' enough to be a good ally. I am Captain Hazama of the N.O.L Intelligence department. By the old clothes, straw hat...Black mage?" He said, his grin changing to more of a smile. "You seem more like a blue mage in all honesty. Blue cloak and all." Hazama looked forward, then squatting down to take a seat as they awaited there comrade's. Hazama took off his bowler hat, spinning it around his finger and keeping up his smile despite having such a bored appearance.

This place was becoming a ever day destination for him, well, he has come here quite a bit. It was easy for him to navigate now that the new city map was saved into his systems from many encounters. It didn't take him long to find the location as there were a few people there. Looking among them he could see that one of the factories was up and running again. This couldn't be good. New robots being made, deadly enough as they were. Luckily, he had did a bit of research by asking around other robotic members of the Life Sphere about some of the newer and earlier robot masters before he had came here. He already knew the ones from the Mr.X's First Annual Robot Tournament but he was going to need every byte of knowledge he could get.

Looking upon his alllies, two seemed human while the other was... something. Swordsman, Captain, and magician? His focus on them faded as he was bit more unsure of how they would react if he approached them. Most likely they were expecting to fight robots and all but some part of him told him to hold back on the introduction. Another part of him was telling him to go ahead and introduce himself to them so they would know that he was on their side. This internal conflict was not pleasing for him so he simply put it out of mind and ignored them for the time being. If they confronted him, he would deal with it himself. Walking closer to the edge of the cliff, he looked out at the lighted building with his mind working out the information he had learned before.

[Cielmira]

Amaterasu darted through the streets, a bit frustrated at the necessary detour she had to take. Though being lost was likely elevating that stress level. The poor wolf was out of her element in a tarnished city, no interesting smells just all the same musty trash of civilization. The Life Sphere was bad enough. She spent a couple weeks traversing its areas and making mental maps of the different sections and its inhabitants. At least she liked exploring.

Eventually the canine spotted recognized forms in the distance and soon she came upon the hill. When she came to be a bit closer she noticed a robot, a bit like but also unlike the ones she had needed to reroute through the city for. Ammy slowed her approach and modified her path taking a route with a bit of cover toward this blue automaton. Sneakily she came to him from his side, somewhat low to the ground, trying to keep her panting under control with all her running. Soon though her cover ceased to really exist, the rubble ahead being more minor stepping obstacles.

Momentarily she stopped before continuing onward even slower now. Unfortunately there was little other sound in the area and with such uneven ground if the red caped being wasn't day dreaming it would likely hear her soon enough. Out of instinct she took to relying on her nose. Sniffing the air lightly as she mildly stuck her head out further toward Knightman. It took a bit of extra time but she determined he didn't quite smell of this place, and definitely wasn't Starvia. A bit closer now... it was... similar to the city but more familiar.

Then her sly plan of approach faltered as she fumbled footing on some rubble. She bore down quietly, staring at the robot as he turned.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Robots, really? They called in a small army to deal with a rampant factory. Mr. Game & Watch had to say, the Life Sphere was becoming more and more paranoid by the day. They didn’t even need three people to do this one, but if there was any recognition to be gained he supposed he should take a look into it. He ignored the last mission that he thought was overblown and crowded and that turned out to be a very crucial one, so he had to at least show his interest in this one if he wanted to stay as the top dog around town.

He travelled through the disastrous city as he would usually do to within the Life Sphere, hopping from building to building and allow gravity and wind do all the work for him. The place didn’t have as many well-structured rooftops and any that were tended to be far more spread out, but it was faster than walking there on foot. At least faster than he could walk that is. If G&W’s awkward waddling could be referred to as walking to anyone.

The paper thin hero continued to leap across the desolate lands until he spotted his inquiry, the factory. As most mission savvy groups tended to, they began to cluster together. If G&W wanted a unique advantage for this mission and get ahead of the pack, he’d have to separate from them. Besides, all he needed to do was turn the machine creating the robots off, how hard could that be? He gets inside, breaks machine, and then gets a parade, the plan was fool proof. He should be given an award for coming up with that plan alone.

The two dimensional figure snuck past the group without much notice. His thin side was facing them and they seemed to be busy with conversation, so it was impossible for any of them to notice him through vision alone. He continued his stealthy sneak around the building until he reached the back which would be way outside of any of their vision. He began to scale the side of the building. He ceased and finally threw himself into the sky and over the ledge of the roof. While upon the roof, the Flatzoner quietly chuckled to himself as his eyes peered off to view the group for a brief second. His focus went to the flooring of the roof, there had to be a vent somewhere, something he could gain access to from here. Maybe a skylight if he was lucky.

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage was first greeted by a... man with golden spiky hair... Where does these guys come from?! He was like a pretty boy or something that all the women would fall for! Black Mage kept this to himself though, "Yes, I'm Black Mage." Then the pretty boy pulled out a potion... wait it looked similar to the ones in his world... That is not good to know... "Sorry, but I'm at full health." Black Mage replied to Cloud's offer not wanting to drink after him anyway.

Then there was a sudden Dark Energy from behind him which Black Mage responded to by turning around instantly. Yami? Black Mage had no idea what the man was talking about but he seemed to know something.He called Black Mage strong so he knew he must be an ally. Then he made the 'joke', "I assure you, my powers are something that poor excuse for a wizard could even DREAM to be!" Black Mage retorted.

Black Mage did not sense Knight Man since there he was a robot with no magical basis. However, Ammy he did sense come in but she seems to be going towards something else. Well, no point in worrying. Then there was a strange energy Black Mage had never sensed before but when he looked in its direction he did not see anything... That's weird...

Speaking of strange invisible forces, Mr. Game and Watch was of course wise to assume there was an air duct. In fact it would lead straight to the Production area. However if he proceeded to try and shut down the machine it would not work as some strange force is keeping the machine running remotely.

Speaking of strange forces, Yami sensed there presence and was doing observations of his own. Ammy was here, good... There was also a powerful magic energy that had some dark power to it but that was not enough. There seems to be a robot similar to the ones he has taken control of. Then there was a powerful dark energy, that could help... Wait! What's this?! This being, unlike the rest his name pops up in his head, Mr. Game and Watch... Yes, his Pride is far beyond any being he has ever sensed or seen and this was the most tasty of sins. How fortunate that he be this close. Yes, he was the one to bring Yami back to power,

Hazama laughed, showing a bit of his fun side. "Well, at least you seem to be confident in what your doing." Hazama looked around, the rest of the group were here...well, except for a mister flat man who seemed to be moving on ahead, not that Hazama knew this of course. Hazama barely noticed the other man that was with the black mage. Very odd spiked hair, red scarf, Glowing blue eyes...very bad choice of armor. Seriously who just puts on a shoulder pad and calls there armor good? as well as a gigantic sword. Most people would go insane over that ridiculous looking blade, but hazama has seen enough ridiculous weaponry in his day. Once you go past ragna's sword scythe hybrid, reilus and his mechanical doll and chainsaw claws from the kaka clan...giant sword's just don't cut it anymore.

Who else was here? Robot....Yeah sure, why not. A knight wearing huge amounts of armor without a hand and a mace in place. Whats the point of making a super powered robot if you arnt even gonna make it anything original or extremely powerful. He seems more like a one trick pony. And...a white wolf? Is this a joke? Well, at least it wasn't a cat. Cat's are the worst. "Awww, look at that. We have a little doggy here to help us." Hazama said, a wicked grin playing out on his face. He would make some kind of joke about doggy biscuits but, he would have to be allies with these people. So, better to actually be friendly.



"So, do we have a plan we want to execute today, or are we just going to stand around admiring each other and sharing free health potion samples?" Hazama said, obviously just bored with sitting around. Maybe he should just go on ahead past these people. Hazama remembered that someone else was supposed to be here, but it seemed far too late in the day for him to be here. So, may as well skip him. Or, so hazama thought anyway, not knowing G&W was off ahead of the group.

[Deleted]

(Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, my weeks been really busy.)
I noticed everyone was here but one person, game and watch,I had read up on everyone's 'file' before coming here,and I'd think that by what gws had said he'd be here by now,but he wasn't, it was best to go on without him."Yea,we really should go,oh and clownboy,make fun of my sword,and you'll wish you were dead,understand?"I wasn't one for jokes,especially in a mission, and especially with this guy,he was already getting on my nerves. He asked if we had a plan and I didn't know of any,so I suggested,"My plans mainly just attack,I don't think about these things."It was true,Tifa was usually the one to plan things out,I just always attacked, unless we were in a really bad situation.I then realized who he had directed the joke to,a white wolf,I could probably get along with them,maybe they knew RED XIII,but I doubt it.Then I realized there was a robot,that was similar to a knight, shield and a mace,shield obviously protected him,and the mace,to attack,that was our group, except two people, the mage,had a blue cloak,and a yellow hat,which still bothered me.Then the clown,with his weird hairstyled green hair,he was who was getting on my nerves the most,maybe even the only one who got on my nerves,great first mission so far I suppose.

The Knight's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of loose rubble sliding near him. Changing his line of sight to the sound of the noise, he found Amaterasu had been watching him. His light eyes stared down at the wolf trying to get a feel for what it exactly was. Nothing his internal data could recognize although it reminded him of Rush. Kneeling down, he held out his hand to the wolf in attempt to pat it on the head. "Hello there," he said in a amused tone. Someone noticed him, might not be this bad.

He looked out upon the building once more to see a small black figure making its way up the building. It looked... familiar. Although, he could not pin point anything goes on it. He heard the others behind him talking get over the battle strategy while he was not one for strategy. If he needed to fight something, he would go on and fight it. "I don't know about you men but I'm going ahead," he said to the people behind him while his gaze was fixed upon the factory. Setting his first foot down onto the dirt the goddess had slipped on, he began his trek down the slope to the now running building. Before he made his way down though he turned back to the wolf and spoke to it, "You coming along too?"

[Cielmira]

The initial reaction to her close proximity confirmed that this robot was not one of their enemies, the wolf happily moving toward the hand to pet herself on it before turning her attention onto the conglomerate at the top of the hill. Amaterasu let her tongue fall from her mouth now that she had a non-threatened moment to catch her breath from the run over. Eying each of the group she lingered a bit on the green haired one, her stare rewarded with mockery. The canine curled her lips back and growled at the man. She had been called many things but Hazama's 'little doggy' comment had an edge to it she didn't appreciate.

Overall it seemed to be a good collection of skill sets for this mission. She had a feeling they would need that when they got to the bottom of what was causing the evil robots to spawn from the factory. Of which they should probably begin delving into. Amaterasu followed Knightman's motion to begin descending the hill toward the factory, splitting off a little in search of any interesting scents or tracks. It wasn't a very fruitful search of course, since they already knew what was around and all she was able to smell was industry and there were several tracks but all typical heavy footed robots.

Ammy made sure not to venture too far from the group, though that was mostly because the goal was to get to inside the factory and there was really only one nice front entrance. Considering this she paused her approach to the building and scanned its surface for any alternatives to marching in the front door. What were the chances it wasn't monitored?

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Mr. Game & Watch continued to listen to his ‘group’s’ jibber jabber as his search for an entrance waged on. That’s all it was, pointless greetings and battle strategies. How boring and lowly, G&W never needed a plan to do what he did best. Why talk about fighting when you could just do it instead? It never failed him before now, why try anything otherwise? Besides none of them could actually know what it was that was truly going on in there and if it was as basic as it seemed, it was only an army of robots. How else does one deal with evil robots than just destroying them? It wasn’t like there was a hidden secret to obliterating androids.

He wasted too much time even thinking about it. Anyway, he found his quarry after only a few seconds of search. Considering that it was jutting out of the building like a sore thumb he should have found it earlier, but that was the point. He griped against the grate with his two dimensional fists and yanked the steel plate out of its place. He tossed the scrap metal aside as he cackled like a cell phone’s default ringtone. The height of it wasn’t enough for the flat man to walk upright in, so his body squished to a crouch and he shimmed his way inside and wobbled the rest of the way through the vent. His bouncing between the metal wasn’t all too quiet, but he was expecting the production line to be louder than his crawling through the ducts.

Mr. G&W had no idea where he was going exactly, all he was doing was choosing forks in the road through gut feeling and nothing else. Considering that the flat zone native had no gut in the first place, his predictions were fairly shoty. As soon as he passed another grate though, he would check it out and see if he made his way into any important part of the building.

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage was about to take out a piece of paper he had made plans on himself, but Robo Knight over there convinced the one he was going with to storm in headfirst... "Fine, we'll just storm the fortress. Go in without a plan, yes, that sounds like a perfect plan..." Black Mage mumbled bitterly. This was the bad part of having a team of musclebound brutes but whatever. Black Mage could just bail if worst comes to worst and these muscle bound brutes really can't handle themselves in a fight. "The only entrance is the front from what research I've done by running around it," Black Mage explained coming with Knight Mage. "The outside doesn't seem to have any guards, so they are all probably on the inside." As the mage said, Ammy wouldn't see any guards by the entrance.

Meanwhile with Mr. Game and Watch's covert operation, Game & Watch would eventually come up to a grate. Upon removing the grate, it seemed to be place oddly in front of a hole. Yami was in his fish bowl at the bottom of this hole because it seems to lead straight to the deepest part of the factory. The fish waited for Game & Watch in this room. Yami's markings could only be seen by pure individuals and Gods, so Yami highly doubted the proud flat midget would see them, seeming like a normal white fish, a little out of place maybe. Truth is, Yami had some hand in the direction Game and Watch would go, changing the way he actually went should he choose poorly. It was good to have dominion over this factory as if it was part of him, but now was not the time to fantasize, he needed to put on a show for the flat man.

Hazama sighed, looking bitterly at knightman. Well, guess we'll just go in and come up with something as we come along to a issue. "So, our idea is just to wander in blindly like a bunch of lemmings? That..you know. Embodiment of sin will never see it coming." Hazama said for the whole party to hear. Hazama was never afraid to say his mind when it came to things like this. Hazama's face changed to a frown that showed disappointment as he moved his fedora up for the group to better see his almost pale face. " How about some of us go for a more stealthy approach as you who want to just go on ahead throw your lives away charge that thing head on." Hazama suggested. But, not wanting to be left in the dust he went ahead and followed the Dog, Robot and hidden mage. 

"As much as i hate to admit it, im not that well off in a fight. So, when we do come up to this thing i would rather take pot shots at it while the more heavy fighters like Sir gallant knight-bot and Bad attitude with hair gel go ahead and take the brute force against it." Hazama gave his battle strategy, the least he can do seeing as how we were pretty much just walking up to a god with hands in our pockets and weapons at the ready. Speaking of weapons, Hazama already had his out and ready. A butterfly knife, which he seemed to find it to be more of a toy then a actual weapon. He spun it around, letting the knife unfold from the Guard of the knife, then spun it back to its normal place all the while a very dark essence covered Hazama's arm. Almost like a snake. "So, what can you all do exactly besides swing weapons? Ive learned enough to never judge books by there covers...Though some of you arnt giving me much hope." Hazama said this with a grin, a thin yellow eye showing, almost like a snake. 

[Deleted]

I was seriously going to punch this guy when we got back to the life sphere,but he had a better strategy,I was just gonna use my attacks, I figured I might as well grab my weapon just in case there were enemies nearby, we didn't have the best people in the world but we were probably enough,"You really want to get hit don't you Mr bad hair style over there,if you don't wanna get sliced I suggest you stop moking me,especially since I've never even heard of gel,and I onlyhave a bad attitude cause of a lot of stuff that's happened, you don't know what war I was in."He asked what we could do besides use weapons,which if I had all my materia it would be better but...I didn't."I would show you but,it takes quiet a bit of energy."Then I heard rustling nearby,footsteps,"Someone's coming,or something."As I said it a robot with spikes all over,that had a nametag on it,saying needle man,attacked by throwing needles at us from its hands.I raised my sword to block however a single needle managed to hit me,I was hit,for the first time here.
