The Lightweather hospital, a place people often go when sick or are in need of treatment. There was a ward kept separate from the main hospital area so as to ensure that nobody could enter, and an isolated area in the basement area where all the chemical compounds were kept sealed, a special ward for mechanical beings was often under strict guard by a few Machina, and for good reason... No humanoid lifeforms other than a tech savvy Nurse Joy have ever set foot in this place, and to ensure such, the door was designed to close the instant someone tried to enter without a Machina escort.

Luckily there was a Machina at the entrance to this ward, waiting to escort the three humans to the chamber where they were to test their combat capabilities against a 'man-made' combat Android. "they should be here any moment..." were the only words he said as he waited patiently for the three.

AN ANDROID AWAKENS:
MISSION START

[Deleted]

Cloud continued his leisure walk towards lightweather hospital, or at least the direction he was told it was in by a random resident of li that he had asked. "Being new sucks I hate asking for directions." Cloud had already gotten lost three times since he wasn't associated with any of the buildings in the life sphere. "They really should find some time to put up some signs for newbies, I barely know what the building looks like from pictures." Cloud complained as he reached the hospital. "Its about time."

Cloud looked over the hospital, there was a sectioned off area where a machine looked to be waiting for something, likely him and the other two inhabitants of li that accepted this mission. Cloud approached the weird looking robot. "Are you supposed to be an escort or something else?"

This new place called The Life Sphere was sure interesting for the new hero that was Viewtiful Joe. His inner movie lover could not help himself when he first got here as he loved the sights of all the different buildings of the whole city, something he would have to get used to as it was made apparent that he would live here now. Would he ever see home or his friends and family again? It did not seem so but Joe tried to make the best of it and as a Hero he needs to have something to do so he looked at the missions others assigned via the police station board. The one that seemed the most interesting was the one where he could test out his own abilities against a newly made android. 
"Yeah this sounds like a good way to test myself! A real android?! I mean it can't possibly get any better right?!" Joe said excitedly.

Taking the slip of paper from the board he looked at the directions on the back of the slip for where to go before putting it back on the board and taking off at Mach Speed toward the Lightweather Hospital noticing all the different people here looking very much like citizens of Movie Land he couldn't help but geek out before smirking once he arrived to the ward with a sudden stop.
"So this is it huh?" He would say upon seeing a robot guard the door then looked over to see a man or rather a boy with spiky blond hair and a huge sword on his back. 

"Hey there! Did you come here to do this mission too?" Joe said asking the blond-haired boy. 

Joe also noticed that there was apparently a third person who was going to show up as well since the robot guarding the place was not opening the door yet upon Joe's arrival.
Still though Joe couldn't help but chuckle at this whole thing. This place was actually better than Movie Land and that was saying something since he adored superhero movies to his very core. Everything was so new and exciting he could hardly stay still.

"My name is Joe, Viewtiful Joe!" he said rocking a pose before moving his stance back to a waiting position.

    Aran Ryan jogged to The Lightweather Hospital with a great deal of excitement. Though he had been to the hospital a few times already due to things like head trauma, High fevers, and accidentally falling onto a pile of broken glass, this was the first time he went there not only in fighting shape, but for the express purpose of fighting. He had never heard of the ward for mechanical beings before, but he wasn't exactly mechanical himself, so that didn't matter to him that much.


    Approaching the hospital, he eventually found what he was looking for. He saw what appeared to be a robot next to a man with a sword just as big as he was, possibly even bigger, and a man in a flashy red outfit that reminded him of Captain Falcon for some reason. He was still pretty excited up to this point, and spoke with similar enthusiasm.

    "Hey there! The name's Aran Ryan. You here for the battlin' too?" He said to the group excitedly. "Hey, blonde boy, nice sword." He added, in an attempt to seem friendly. Even though he signed up for a mock battle, the poorly educated Irishman was just as excited as he would normally be when he was about to join an actual fight. He was just wondering what fighting a robot would be like, and almost squealed with glee when he imagined what it could be like in his head. 'This is going to be EPIC!' He thought to himself.

The Machina simply gave a curt nod to the three when they came, noting that they were all in attendance, then beckoned them to follow him to the test chamber where they will be conducting the mock battle.

"You three are the first humans to actually help us with this, though the risk of harm is slightly less due to what you are here to do. Normally we use this chamber to recalibrate mechanical lifeforms through target practice or to have them terminate any Mechon our leader has deemed obsolete in the security department. Never have we had to use this place for combat calibration of an android... Especially one as unique as this one." the unnamed machina said, opening the door to the area in question. The room was much like what a test facility was exactly designed to be, a large flat surface surrounded by four walls with a viewing chamber above for the people preceding over the testing. "Once you enter this facility, you won't be able to use your most Devastating moves; to wit your final smash, because there is an apocrypha field installed to ensure the safety of the patients within the hospital proper... Standard procedure of course, we don't want to have the area demolished." the unnamed machina added, allowing the three to enter.

Once they did however, the doors would seal shut blanketing then in semi-darkness, that their eyes could adjust to quite easily. On the opposite end was a special maintenance bed, though it contained the Lightweather hospital icon near where the three were facing, the top had a familiar logo that matched the company that commissioned their target: Vector Industries.

The unnamed machina would emerge within the viewing chamber, and managed to open the maintenance bed from in that chamber allowing it to open up, allowing what was within to emerge from within.

"You may begin when ready, try not to wreck this one if at all possible." the machina said, the lights in the testing facility getting slightly brighter so the three can face their opponent while seeing what they were going to battle. And yes, they were up against a female combat android with long blue hair and red eyes, and just as ready to face them in the process... And kicked off the fight by attempting to weaken them through a Debuff effect.

The trio arrived and cloud introduced himself, "I'm Cloud Strife, try to be useful in this mach battle all right? Hopefully you're both stronger than you look." Why would such weak looking people take on a mission that involved fighting? Doing it for money is one thing, but the two looked like they had enough to last them a few weeks so that obviously wasn't it. Maybe there was more to them then it looked, after all tifa didn't look like it, but she had a mean uppercut. "I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't exactly want two people who can't handle their own either."

The machine motioned for the group to follow and Cloud did, he didn't care much if his companions did, sure they could help in the fight, but they could also be a burden to him. Cloud was surprised that they were the first humans to enter this facility. He assumed that the wards were to keep intruders out, but now he was starting to think they were just for humans in general. Before Cloud had time to form a question the robot opened the door to a new room and explained the rules of this mach battle. 'No final smashes, that could be bad.' Cloud thought. He hopes he could handle everything thrown at him without his heavy hitting move. 

The room was mostly flat, with four walls surrounding it. There was also a viewing room for those that wished to use this information to improve their Android. As he walked in Cloud noticed the door shut behind him. As soon as the lighting turned on Cloud saw the female Android. She had blue hair, and red eyes. 

"Time to test out my skills."

The Android started out with a debuff move that Cloud attempts to avoid.
fwTb_wi0p_1d20 + 0 = 20

The debuff does not connect and in retaliation Cloud launches one of his special moves, Blade Beam.
p_1d20 + 2 = 5

If the attack manages to lands it will do 13% damage.



"How's he gonna say we can begin when we want and then have his Android attack first, low move man."

Joe noticed how confident this Cloud guy was which he could admire slightly as he doubted both Joe and Aran's capabilities which didn't bother Joe much but it might bother their other companion Aran. As they were all led into the rather large test facility with flat surfaced walls and floors. The noticeable viewing room gave away the fact that this was indeed a testing chamber of some sort. As the door shut behind them Joe jumped out of the way as he didn't want his cape to get caught in the door before their mock battle. 
"Whoa! That was close. The door almost got my cape!" Joe said surprised as the door shut behind them as he now noticed the room was rather dark after the door had closed. 

Now noticing the test bed where the supposed android lay Joe noticed an odd symbol there most likely representing the company that designed the android. As the Android emerged from the test bed the lights would soon come on as he noticed the appearance of the android was that of a female with red eyes and long blue hair. "Well then I guess this makes it the second time I had to fight a female android. Bloody Rachel was tough so I shouldn't hold back on this one either." he said putting up his fists in a boxing motion. 

The android in question attempted a debuff move which Joe attempted to resist.

TwT9QFy7p_1d20 -2

The Debuff does not connect and Joe counters with one of his own moves. 

"Okay lets do this! Mach Speed!" Joe rushed up to the android woman with a huge burst of speed and would attempt to hit her with two super fast punches and kicks using 1 combat action in the process then if those hit he would attempt to follow up with the third hit which would send her upward into the air with an uppercut.

STR Roll: p_1d20 +2

( Mach Speed: Joe rapidly jabs at his enemy at high speeds while lighting himself and his opponent on fire due to the speed, then ends the attack with a launching uppercut which can be followed up with Air Joe. [5% DMG ] 

Joe was hardly done yet as he would then jump into the air and use the rest of his combat actions with Six punches and kicks in his other move that combos off of his Mach Speed. 

Air Joe would allow him to keep attacking in the air until he landed back on the ground however he would still attempt to attack her using the rest of his 2 remaining combat actions for a total of 9 hits if all of them connected. Joe would land away from the android and keep his boxing stance as he would be ready for another attack.

STR Roll:  p_1d20 +2

(Air Joe: While airbone, Joe performs a series of fast rapid attacks which can be used until Joe lands. [8% DMG] )

"How was that?" Joe taunted as he showed off his moves with a chuckle.

Walking into the test facility made Aran Ryan begin to worry. How long would it be until they could begin fighting this android? As soon as possible, he hoped. What he didn't realize was that they would, in fact, be starting very soon.

As soon as the three were inside of the test facility, the door closed behind them. Aran Ryan barely noticed, as he already stood a few feet from the door and was looking around excitedly. The only thing that made it register to him was the man in red mentioned something about his cape.

From the viewing chamber, the machina then opened the maintenance bed, revealing a blue haired, red eyed android. Aran Ryan was hardly expecting  to be fighting something that looked so human, so he was a bit taken aback. He stopped worrying about appearances, however, when the android let out a potentially crippling debuff.

0koBywWap_1d20-2
Aran Ryan had his guard up very soon afterwards, and realized why he was here. "We're startin' off with a bit a' excitement, huh? Come at me!" He yelled out, before charging the robot with a midair headbutt, which was sure to stagger the android.

p_1d20+3
(Jumping Headbutt: Deals 28% damage, 30% chance to blind on hit. Deals 5% recoil on miss)

Aran Ryan knew to avoid giving his opponent too much breathing room, and quickly followed up the attack with a series of 3 quick and powerful jabs.

Jab 1:p_1d20+3

Jab 2: p_1d20+3

Jab 3: p_1d20+3(Seriously?)
(Each jab deals 7% damage)

Aran Ryan had another combat action, and was unhappy with his series of jabs, and decided to deal a little extra damage. He quickly darted to the side, before delivering a wide hook

p_1d20+3
(Hook: Deals 14% damage)

"Ya' like that?!" Aran Ryan yelled, hoping the fight wouldn't become too one sided. That just wouldn't be fun for anyone.

With the battle underway, the android would notice a slight pattern, at least her opponents were able to avoid the S-Chain but soon went on the attack.

First came the blade beam launched by Cloud, which she simply sidestepped to avoid.
DEX ROLL A: 18+2=20{success}

However, this put her in position to take a slight pounding from Joe as he used Mach Speed on her, and she could not get out of the way in time...
DEX ROLL B: 13+2=15{First attack goes to Veiwtiful Joe}

And she was launched into the air, although she would be incapable of dodging the next hit as easily.
DEX ROLL C: 6+2=8{ouch}

And then came Aran Ryan, the only person who could pull off such a spectacular amount of punishment with a headbutt when the female android hit the ground, his Jumping Headbutt connected, only for the Irish Boxer to realize that his head connected with a powerful barrier which he had weakened significantly on impact
Bubble Shield durability: 65-10(activation penalty)-28(Jumping Headbutt)=27

The android then noticed the slightly weak series of jabs and moved with little effort...
DEX ROLL D: 11+2=13{success}
DEX ROLL E: 20+2=22{KOS-MOS Crit-dodges this jab}
DEX ROLL F: 9+2=11{success}

The same could not be said for the Hook the Irish Boxer pulled, which landed squarely in what was basically KOS-MOS's jaw.
DEX ROLL G: 1+2=3{Aran Ryan has now drawn the Aggro!}

KOS-MOS then made her move first by making her own Blade strike on Cloud Strife with R-Blade.
STR ROLL: 3+1=4{R-Blade @ Cloud Strife, 5% dmg if it connects}

---

Cloud Strife! Roll higher than 4 to dodge or block with your Bubble Shield, you cannot do both at the same time.

---

Then turned her attention to Joe and fired off a paralysing energy blast to try and land a hit on him.
WIS ROLL A: 12+2=14{R-Cannon @ Viewtiful Joe, 5% dmg and 50% Paralysis chance if it connects}

---

Viewtiful Joe! Roll higher than 14 to dodge or block with your Bubble Shield, you cannot do both at the same time.
If you fail the dodge roll, roll CON to resist Paralysis.

---

The same could not be said for Aran Ryan, as he would be facing the worst attack ever inflicted by an Android with a female body: the dreaded Abdominal Spread Laser!
WIS ROLL B: 17+2=19{X-BUSTER @ Aran Ryan, 32% dmg if it connects, -2 WIS modifier to KOS-MOS on hit}

---

Aran Ryan! Roll higher than 19 to dodge or block with your Bubble Shield, you cannot do both at the same time.

Cloud watched the fight unfold. His Blade Beam was dodged by a simple sidestep, 'Talk about useless, I'll just have to make up for it.' He thought. While his attack may have been unsuccesful, Joe and Aran managed to knock the female Android down to size. 
"That was obviously cause I slowed her down!" Cloud said though he doubted the truth in his own words.
sKg_eiprp_1d20 + 2 = 10
Though Cloud realized late that the Android launched a beam in his direction, he simply dashed out of the way.

He then proceeded to his second attack phase: He started out with a simple Material Barrage 

p_1d20 +  1 = 4

He followed this with an Aerial Sweep.

p_1d20 + 2 = 14 

Finally he ended things with Climhazard.

Bubble Shield durability: 60-10-32=18

Aran Ryan, anticipating a well aimed blast, threw up his bubble shield. Though that blast on its own was able to weaken the bubble shield significantly, it had performed its function. He quickly got back into melee range, and resumed his assault. His first course of action was to deliver a couple jabs to weaken the target. He could've also tried to tire his opponent out, but Aran Ryan was pretty sure that robots couldn't become tired.

9X|fLBgtp_1d20+3 (Jab: Does 7% damage)

p_1d20+3 (Same as above, but a crit. 11% damage)

p_1d20+3 (^)

Happy with his punches, yet well aware of the fact that it wouldn't be enough, Aran Ryan tried something new. He pulled his right arm back and tucked his hand towards his chest, delivering a hard blow with his elbow.

p_1d20+3(Elbow Smash: 17% damage, 30% chance to stun on hit)

He then decided to perform the same move that had done so well before. He ducked and weaved from side to side in front of his target, before suddenly delivering a sharp hook to the chest.
