It appears the tables were turning on the General as not one, not two, not three, but four Life Sphere warriors were now confronting him with three of the warriors surrounding him on the platform and one on the ground staying at the ready for additional assistance. Scales had a bear, a bird, a fox, and a wolf closing in on him. The General may have seemed outnumbered, at first, but he still had his entire tribe of Red Eyes down below to back him up and he didn't plan on losing just yet. Out of near necessity General Scales verbally tries to stop the warriors from closing in on him.

"Don't you lay a finger on me! If...if you attack me and break the deal between me and Wolf, it's...it's treason and an Act of War! We will forever be enemies of the Life Sphere! Is that what you want?! Hmm!? Let me and the bloody wolf finish this battle as intended with the same negotiated terms and I'll leave the Life Sphere alone." Before Fox would be siding with the scaly criminal, but now, he almost pities him. McCloud chimes in on the General's trembling words with a simple shut down statement.

"The deal is off General. You committed a criminal activity long before Wolf and his squad arrived to save me by capturing me and shoving that awful collar around my throat. As far as I'm concerned anything you say and do from here on out is null and void. Come quietly to the Life Sphere with your dinosaur buddies and maybe we can see you to a fair trial before imprisonment." Fox stamps his feet to the ground and swipes a paw in the air adding physical emphasis to his next phrase.

"This doesn't have to end up in a war zone, Scales. You have a choice, so make the right one." Wolf quietly let Fox handle the conversation as he continued trying to stop the blood flow coming out of his shoulder and staying as calm as possible. Scales didn't take too kindly to Fox's ultimatum. "A deal is a deal no matter WHAT I did to your measly little mind, Fox. So just like Wolf, you shall suffer my wrath. And a fate WORSE than death." With those words, Scales takes a few steps back to the very edge of the platform and spreads his arms out wide acting as if he is about to jump off and over the edge of the tower!

"Last chance, Fox. Keep our deal, or dare to see the alternative." Fox shook his head and wagged a finger at Scales. "Not happening, General. And if you were such a suicidal maniac, you woulda jumped off by n-" Within seconds of Fox responding to the General's retort, Scales leaps off the tower backwards with his arms kept wide, and he falls downwards at an alarming speed. Halfway down the tower his winged children of the pterodactyl nature, or reptilious birds of some kind, catch their king and suspend him in midair as he levitates over the Life Sphere fighters atop the platform.

He calls out to them. "See you on the ground you worms! The deal is off! CUT THEM DOWN! ATTACK!" At this order, the biggest Red Eye of the entire tribe; the one that likely made all that stomping noise earlier, comes rampaging in from the foliage of the surrounding trees within the Walled City roaring aloud and in a frenzy, begins headbutting the tower to knock the group down. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" The tower began to shake and sway violently. The other smaller Red Eyes were also now attacking the tower with the biggest Red Eye following its lead. Fox thinks fast.



"Ok all, we need to jump! Wolf, hang on to me, I'll Fox Fire us back to solid ground, Banjo, have Kazooie fly you to safety and let's start clearing out some of these angry slime balls!" Fox was wasting no time forging a plan. Wolf was getting even weaker and couldn't think straight or function properly. He was very glad Fox was here. "I'll do my best to help jump us off here safely, Fox. Again, I'm honestly relieved you're alright." Fox nods giving Wolf a thumbs up acknowledging his nice guy attitude, and begins to glow a bright orange getting ready to jump them to safety.

"I kinda like the positive side of you Wolf, let's see that more often! When we get outta here, drinks on me! Banjo, you too! And be right behind us when we get down there!" Fox shouts over the roaring flames he was making around his body prepping for the jump, Wolf just smiles, and also begins to create what energy he could to boost them off the tower as purple flames rose from himself as well, and the two canines linked arms.

"Ready...." Fox began to set the tempo for the jump, but Wolf already finished the preparatory position and went right into the motion of leaping. "GO!" He dragged Fox with him and they both jumped in a flaming purple and orange comet like bounce off the tower and within seconds were able to fling themselves to the ground landing smack dab in the middle of the raging Red Eyes.

Just as they landed the biggest Red Eye which was an oversized mutated T-Rex stopped banging the tower and looked right at the dog like fighters and let out another epic roar. "RAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH!" And immediately afterwards began rushing towards them in fury, Several smaller Red Eyes followed suit in attack mode aiming to have the two doggos for lunch!

"Can you still fight Wolf?" Fox checked in on his old friend and rival now that he no longer was mind controlled he actually did have a genuine concern for him as he kept bleeding out. Wolf responded in a hoarse tone. "Yes. Let's get this over with. The sooner we knock these things out the better." Fox gave a nod and was at the ready to avoid the crazed rushing attacks coming their way, Wolf too, was in sync with Fox, ready for anything.

General Scales was suddenly nowhere in sight as this was all going on. Could he be hiding? Or perhaps retrieving something or plotting somewhere? While all the commotion was happening he took the opportunity to step out for a bit. It may be a good idea for him to be found to stop whatever he might be doing on the sidelines.

Alright another decision to make. Either help Fox and Wolf with the dinos, or try and find Scales. You will need to beat a WIS roll of 13 to successfully find out where Scales went off to. If you wanna help Fox and Wolf fight, then make your next post a battle post with your combat turns to the dinos, otherwise, RP your search for Scales and beat a 13 for WIS.

Only combat of this mission? There was no way that Yumiko was going to miss this fight with General Scales. She watched as Banjo and Kazooie flew upwards to the top of the tower to reach Wolf, Fox and Scales while Yumiko herself was still at the bottom of the tower, at least...Not for long. "Oh no, there's no way i'm not going to sit back and be left behind. Wait for me!" Yumiko called up to Banjo and Kazooie as she moved her hands to the side and decided to do a little trick with one of her powers.

Yumiko prepared to fire a Magarudyne blast into the ground so she can quickly fly up to the top of the tower to join everyone in the fight. She never did this trick before and was a little worried that it might not work...But with the fact that she can shoot high amount of wind with her hands, she knows it will be strong enough to fire a person to a place high enough like the top of this tower.

And she wasn't going to take the stairs, unless this tower had an elevator. She wondered if Fox was told to work on an elevator for this tower.

But either way, Yumiko was going to fire herself to the top of this tower!


jtnO6CTMp_1d20+5(And she did not see Scales.)

Quickly Yumiko fired a magarudyne into the ground hard enough to cause her to fly upwards towards the top of the tower. "Here I come!" Yumiko loudly shouted as she flew herself to the top of the tower until she was high in the air.

Once she did, she looked down at Fox, Wolf, Banjo and Kazooie before looking at the Daddy Red Eye and the youngings. Realising that the youngings were going to be a hindrance in this battle, Yumiko quickly shot two blasts of maziodyne towards two of them.

p_1d20+5(Mziodyne > Red Eye Younging B: Same effect as above.)

After firing her attacks, Yumiko landed from behind the group and by the edge of her tower, and realised that General Scales was nowhere to be seen. "Where did Scales go. Did he escape?" Yumiko asked the group before looking back at the Red Eye Group, and prepared herself for battle.

"Damn. That's disappointing." Kazooie muttered. Rather than fight them in a climactic battle atop the tower, Scales decided to leave instead, leaving the four of them on the tower. Banjo was about to tell Kazooie to fire an egg or two in his direction before the Red Eyes on the ground began to attack the tower, causing it to shake violently. They clearly wouldn't be able to stay up there for long.

"Alright, Fox, don't worry, we'll be right behi-" Banjo said, before he was cut off by more violent shaking, causing him to lose balance and fall on his butt.

"I'm okay. Just hurry!" Banjo said, getting up. Fox and Wolf soon departed, using their respective recovery moves to fire themselves towards the ground to engage the dinosaurs below. Banjo followed suit, running off the side of the tower and letting Kazooie spread her wings and allow them to glide safely downwards.

"Hey, Kazooie, where do you think Scales went?" Banjo asked.

"I dunno. I was just looking forward to finally being able to fight." Kazooie replied.

"I think we should look for him."

"Seriously? Okay, let's take a quick look around."

x33MDEwVp_1d20+1(Wisdom roll: Failure)

Banjo and Kazooie glided down the tower, circling it to get a better look around. Unfortunately, they couldn't find him. He seemed to have left surprisingly quickly, and was probably hiding somewhere on the ground.

"Alright, Banjo, we took a look around. Can we start helping them now?" Kazooie asked, with a hint of impatience in her voice.

"Okay. Let's try finding him later, then. For now, let's focus on fighting." Banjo replied, knowing that that was what Kazooie was currently interested in doing.

Gliding down, Banjo steered downwards, so that both of them could see the dinosaurs below. "Grenade Egg! There, now!" Banjo said, pointing towards the group of small Red Eyes. Kazooie reluctantly agreed, coughing up a green, Grenade-like egg, which sailed downwards towards the group of Red Eyes before exploding.

p_1d20+2(Grenade Egg @ Red Eye Youngling B: Deals 18% damage. If any of the other younglings are within 10 feet, they must dodge or take 7% damage)

The duo were close to the ground now, and were thus getting pretty close to the action. Banjo, however, knew how to aid in the fight again, before they even hit the ground. He began to steer the two of them right above the head of the largest Red Eye.

"Beak Buster!" Banjo ordered. Kazooie agreed quicker than she did before, stopping her flight and positioning herself so that her beak faced the ground. The two rocketed downwards, aiming to deliver a nasty Ground Pound to the Red Eye below.

The gang of dinos relentlessly rushed Fox and Wolf in great haste attempting to trample them to bits and gobble them up accordingly. Both the Daddy Dino and his children looked incredibly starved, probably due to the lack of food on this planet and scarce water. They had a look in their eyes that told a story of struggle and survival, and the first chance of a meal they get just so happens to be Dog Meat, and they plan to eat it raw. With jaws open and prepped for a chomp, the creatures just about reach the bodies of Wolf and Fox to have their lunch for today. Daddy Red Eye goes in for Fox, while the smaller reptiles try and nip Wolf smelling his blood drenching his shoulder with the wound of his still fresh.

Fox must roll above a 10 to dodge the Rex Chomp attack from the daddy or suffer 25% DMG and 5% chance of Bleedout Ailment. Wolf must roll a 10 or above to dodge the little Red Eye bite or suffer 10% DMG. DEX Roll.

Fox gets into a lunge position, and waits to the very last second before the Daddy Red Eye goes in for the chomp to leap out of the way. Just before the Daddy's long snout touches Star Fox, he begins his leaping motion to escape the attack.

Roll for Fox Safety Leap VeBhVVkap_1d20 +4 (With uncanny Dexterity, Fox moves all quick like out of harm's way.)

With those powerful thighs of his, Fox not only gets out of the way of the dino very quickly but he also somehow manages to get some great air distance and land on the back of the Daddy Red Eye miraculously. This now allows Fox to have an advantage as he mounts the spine of the giant Daddy Red Eye. "WOAAAH there big fella! Let's just calm down and find you somewhere safe to let out all that frustration, and maybe some food that doesn't involve innocent lives being devoured ok?" Fox began to dance the Prehistoric Tango as he shifts left and right on the reptile trying to keep balance to control its direction, but it only seemed to agitate it more as if he was a flea on its skin.

Wolf on the other hand had the baby lizards to deal with, and so, he did his own dance, and attempted to roll to safety out of the radius of the little nips from the younglings. Youngling A was closest and went in for the first bite!

Roll for Wolf Nip Dodge p_1d20 + 3 (With grace and finesse, Wolf rolls out of the biting range of the little lizards.)

With a somewhat clumsy somersault, Wolf still manages to just avoid the razor sharp fangs of the mini Red Eyes. The rolling maneuver seemed to have caused his shoulder some more pain as he yelped in protest as the bleeding of his shoulder continued. "Dammit all! I need to get healed before the rest of the lizard tikes get bitey even moreso and my luck depletes as their insatiable appetite grows." Before Wolf would be attacked again, he decided to think fast and looked around for a temporary out of this battle so he can find something to suppress his blood and then return and properly help fox fend the beasts off.

As Wolf looked around he noticed someone was missing; General Scales took off during the ruckus. Maybe if he could find Scales, he would force the two timing scum bag to give him something to heal his wound. And perfect timing too! Banjo and Yumiko jump into the battle and assist Fox while Wolf began to run away from the little hungry dinosaurs to find Scales.

"I'll be back Fox! You, Banjo, and Yumiko keep fighting! Scales is missing and I'm going to find him!" From atop the Daddy Red Eye Fox responds with a waving paw in the air bouncing back and forth on the large lizard. "OK! Don't worry about me up here! Just another day in paradise dude!" Maintaining his balance was frustrating but he felt he was almost there to take control of this big daddy destroyer.

Roll for Wolf finding Scales p_1d20 -2

Wolf felt like he was running but getting nowhere, he was thankful he was away from the fighting to at least recover somewhat, but he didn't know how long he was going to be safe with so many Red Eyes around and how much running he can keep doing with his injury.

Scales was somewhere and Wolf was determined to find him before he could accomplish anything that would negatively impact the situation on their part. As Wolf kept trying to find any sign of Scales, Fox got some serious combat assistance from the rest of the group and things were looking good for a chance of victory so far!

One of the Younglings that was after Wolf got a surprise shock from Yumiko, since it was not paying attention and preoccupied by Wolf being their target, Youngling A that tried to bite Wolf earlier gets electrified to the ground and writhes about in the dirt. It looks like it may be down for a few moments from that blast.'

The other Younglings stopped chasing Wolf and looked around in a panic to see where that attack came from. There was no success in finding the origin of the blast since their brains were so small and minds so fleety all they could do was stay in their pack and be cautious. It was the limits of having a pack mentality, individual smarts just was not there.

Youngling B got fried as well as a sudden thunderbolt struck its neck and it curdled to the ground below in a roar. This one too, was going to be a vegetable for a bit as it lay there with a shockwave going through it. One by one the creatures were being sniped off from above. Youngling B wasn't done getting bombarded just yet, another attack, this time an exploding egg, launches its way at it from high above the sky and crashes into its belly exploding upon contact causing the Youngling to roll a dozen or so feet backwards scraping against the dirt.

It was too hurt from the previous electric attack to dodge and suffered another hit without a fight. Youngling's C and D were more alert at this point after seeing their siblings get picked off one by one, they attempted to jump out of the way from the explosive egg impact which was big enough to strike them in a radius as well!

Roll for Dino Dodging the Grenade Egg Radius p_1d20 + 1 (The radius was big and powerful enough to strike the other Younglings as well for 7%; DMG AOE.)

The other two Younglings weren't quick enough to avoid the blast radius of that sudden egg attack and ate a few flames from the aftermath damaging them a little and causing the two Younglings remaining standing to stagger and nearly fall over, but they managed to keep themselves up and growled at the sky keeping their eyes peeled for more attacks coming through.

Shortly after the airborne assault, Banjo comes down with Kazooie from above, beaks ablazing, and swoops towards Daddy Red Eye to bash him right in his side. Fox doing his best to control the Red Eye on its back helped allow Banjo and Kazooie to land their attack on the dino. The Daddy Red Eye grunted from the impact taking the full force of it unable to control is body to dodge thanks to Fox. The beast is now also stunned as its muscles start to tense and lock up and, oh my, it was looking like it's about to fall over due to the stun effect its muscles were giving in on it. Fox tried desperately to keep the beast balanced.

With great athletic prowess Fox manages to dig his claws into the monster's back and keep it on its feet. He yells down at Banjo and Kazooie. "Careful you two! I'm trying to tame this thing and maybe it can help us cover ground in finding the General so we can arrest him!" Fox was trying to make his intentions clear for the group so they didn't take himself down along with the dino. There was potential to control it, but he needed more time.

Ok you two, the perception check for Scales has been reset and you can roll again to try and find him. The magic number is still 13 if you wanna try again. Itll be using the WIS stat. If you want to help Fox control the giant Red Eye, you'll need to do a STR roll to tire it out some and beat it into submission so Fox isn't so shakey up there. This will require a STR roll from each of you, and it must be a 14 or above. In order for the dino to fully be controlled, Both of you will need to roll a 14 or above, otherwise Fox will be knocked off.

If one of you decides to roll to find Scales instead, then the dino cannot be fully controlled and Fox will have to do a DEX roll of 17 or above to pickup the slack of one of you for control.

If both of you decide to go after Scales instead, then Fox will be unable to fully control the dino and it will go back into a normal battle. If you fail a Scales Perception Roll you can roll STR for the dino, if you succeed in the Scales Perception Roll you cannot roll again also for the STR Dino roll and must pursue Scales's path. If the Dino is successfully controlled however, Scales can automatically be found since you would now have a moving vantage point.

One or both of you can also split from the group and join Wolf if you'd like in finding Scales, despite whether or not your Scales Perception roll succeeds or not.

Yumiko stopped when she was preparing herself to fire at the younging's again as it seems as though Fox was trying to tame the father so it can help them find Scales. Yumiko nodded. "Right, i'll make sure that the kids don't try and get in the way." Yumiko told the group as she prepared to fight some more kids again...Only to see Wolf run off with a bad wound, as he was going to go and find Scales.

Realising that Wolf might get into trouble if he does find Scales again and fights him. Yumiko quickly aimed something at Wolf. "Wolf wait. Before you go, let me give you something for that wound." Yumiko told Wolf before firing a blast of diarahan towards him, hopefully it will help with his wound when he goes off to find Scales.

HqHd2Fsqp_1d20+3(Diarahan > Wolf: A cool blast that hits the target and gives them back a certain amount of HP. Since Yumiko rolled a number between 1-14, Wolf will only gain 10% HP back.)

"Good luck." Yumiko soon went back to trying to help the team team the Red Eye father. Yumiko noticed the second Red Eye kid was hurt more then the first thanks to the added efforts of Banjo and Kazooie, and so tried to hit it with her fire attack as she approached the father.

p_1d20+5(Maragidyne > Younging B: A wave of fire that burns the target. If hit, then Younging B will gain 17% damage.)

Once she fired her attack, she tried to help Fox tame the Red Eye Dad. Although she knows she might fail at this, since she wasn't strong enough to handle something like the Red Eye's father. "I need to warn you three that i'm not particularly the strongest person out there." Yumiko said to the three as she tried to help tame the father by making him exhausted by running around it.

After landing squarely on the largest Red Eye's noggin, Banjo and Kazooie performed a short midair flip before landing safely on the ground. Their attack really did a number on the thing, as it now seemed to be rather disoriented.

"You wanna tame this thing? Okay, sorry about that." Banjo said after landing. It seemed that Fox wanted to use this thing to their advantage, which he could certainly get behind. "How do we tame it, anyhow?"

"Don't worry Banjo. I think I know what to do. Bring me a little closer." Kazooie interjected. She knew exactly how to put this thing in its place.

After Banjo got within range of the Red Eye, Kazooie began pecking at it in its torso. After just a few pecks, the Red Eye seemed to be not only stunned, but exhausted as well. After a couple more solid pecks, Kazooie seemed satisfied.

"Alright, that seems much better than before. It's nice and tired out. C'mon, let's deal with the smaller ones." Kazooie said, audibly satisfied with her work.

With that, the two continued the fight between them and the young Red Eyes. Dashing into the center of the pack, Kazooie ducked inside the backpack, allowing Banjo to swing it all around him.

p_1d20+2(Pack Whack @ Red Eye Younglings: Deals 18% damage to all within a small radius)

Putting the backpack back on, Banjo moved towards the most damaged Red Eye so far, hoping to start wearing out the pack's individual members. Banjo crouched a bit, lunged forward, and let Kazooie extend her neck out of the backpack, hoping to deliver a solid blow to the wounded Red Eye's chest.

Before Wolf left the group behind entirely on the hunt for General Scales, Yumiko stopped him just before he got out of sight and attempted to heal his wound with her magic. Unfortunately it didn't completely heal the wound but he did feel a little better and some of his energy was restored thanks to her. "Thank you for that. This should help me stay on my feet during my search." The space canine thanked Yumiko appropriately and continued onward leaving the battle in the hands of her and the rest of the group to tend to unfinished business with the General.

Wolf continued pushing through to getting deeper and deeper into the Walled City and scanning every nook and cranny for that elusive lizard while growing more and more distant with his team which may or may not be a good thing. On the up side, he would be out of harm's way and not bring any added attention to his team, on the down side, he was now alone and still bleeding. He would have to be extremely careful going forward if the General were to be found. It wouldn't exactly take much to finish the old dog off at this point, but Wolf was incredibly resilient.

Roll for finding Scales ctx85_sKp_1d20-2 (Scales is still nowhere to be found.)

Wolf felt he was getting closer to searching for Scales, but through the city ruins, the deeper he went, the more lost he felt. Various alley ways and abandoned buildings most of which were half destroyed or crumbling, all seemed like great hiding places for the General, but no matter where he looked there was no evidence of him anywhere. Perhaps the General was going to find HIM? But by then, it may be too late and whatever plan he has cooking up could go into full fruition shortly. "Running out of time here. Where is that mutant gecko!?" Wolf continued looking in every spot he could find in each building he came across for the General, he had to be somewhere nearby.

Meanwhile Fox was still riding high on the Daddy Red Eye and the rest of the group was making quick work of the mini enemies around the daddy with successful impact. He kept himself focused to keep the Daddy Red Eye at bay and also kept an eye on the battle down below watching Yumiko strike one of the Younglings again. However, the Youngling B though a bit razzled by the electric bolt earlier, it returned to its feet shaking off the electricity and prepared to dodge Yumiko's incoming fire move.

Roll for Youngling Dodging Fire p_1d20 + 1

The little dino gets nearly cooked alive as a scorch of fire blasts its chest and sends it reeling through the air and hitting the ground hard. Puffs of smoke rise off its carcass as the creature seemingly has been put through an entire oven experience; first with the electric shock and now the fire. But this dinosaur was not about to go extinct just yet! With some intense tenacity it kicks itself back to its feet with a growling taunt at Yumiko. It then decided to attack the human girl and give her some payback.

Yumiko must do a DEX Roll of 10 or above or get tackled head on by the smokin dino baby doing 12% DMG and knocking you on your butt.

After the flames hit the creature Yumiko attempts to go straight to work on the big daddy, but to no avail, all she really did was make it slightly annoyed as it continued to fight the surge of pain from Banjo earlier and remains stunned doing everything it could to get the muscles moving but it wasn't doing any good with Fox on top of it making the stunned state of it worse. Yumiko now had a rushing baby dino to deal with,

Aside from Fox riding its back, with the addition of Banjo relentlessly on the attack of the Daddy Red Eye, this ginormous beast wasn't going to get very far anytime soon. Banjo and Kazooie continued attacking it and pecking away at all its weak spots making it more exhausted and unable to move much. The parental lizard was simply just not having the best day! It was slowly falling into surrender. Fox now attempted to control it a bit more by once again digging his claws into it and drilling the heels of his boots deep into its spine keeping a neutral plane on such a large target. "No hard feelings big guy, but we need you to stop now." Fox was not letting up and making great progress on taming the Rex.

Roll for Fox Taming Daddy Red Eye(Must roll a 17 or above to finalize tame.) p_1d20 + 4 (AND BINGO WAS HIS NAME-O! With Banjo and Kazooie's help, the beast is now fully tamed and Scales can be much more easily found with its help!)

Fox did one last pound with his paws to the rear shoulder blade of the creature and finally, it falls to its knees in submission and lets out a wail of mercy. It has given in completely at this point to Fox and the team, and can now be used as a moving mount to help find Scales and bring him in. "WELL DONE EVERYONE! We got ourselves a new friend to get on the Scales trail with us." The Daddy Red Eye appeared to have a tear or two stream down its eyes as it gave up fighting back and the torture its body just went through has ended. It knew it was bested and now, it was in the hands of Fox and company to do as its told.

Fox noticed its tears as he looks down upon its face and he frowns. He takes out a nice bundle of fried Cucco thighs he had in his utility belt and attempts to feed it to the beaten reptile holding it near its mouth. The creature perks up and instantly swipes it from Fox's paw with its tongue and begins munching on the food. It made a satisfied moan and licked its lips looking up at Fox in thanks and then slowly rising back to its feet as if regaining some of its vigor and nods its head turning its snout to the North, where the scent of General Scales fills its nostrils.

Fox remains on its back but this time, in a very balanced posture since the creature wasn't fighting him anymore and calls down to Yumiko and Banjo. "Looks like we found our trail! Let's get going!" He notices Banjo and Kazooie were too preoccupied however fighting the little dinosaurs still below which made the Daddy Red Eye seem uneasy. Younglings A,C, and D, with Youngling B separated from them to attack Yumiko, saw Banjo's attack coming and all decided as a pack to try and dodge its swipe together.

Roll for Combined Pack Dodge with DEX bonus p_1d20+3 (That pack didn't hit its mark}

The attack missed all three as they were much more in sync as a pack this time and more prepared after getting blasted from afar by Yumiko unexpectedly. Banjo and his bird friend were not done yet however, they began to turn their attention to Youngling B who was en route to tackle Yumiko. The bear threw his bird with a mighty thrust towards it to deal some serious damage and intercept the Yumiko attack, however Fox could see how upset the Daddy Red Eye was getting seeing his children get attacked which prompted Fox to intervene or else the taming would be for naught and the monster could change its mind. Fox jumped off the Daddy Red Eye and stood in the tracks of Kazooie's next attack blocking the move by popping out his energy shield from within his Deflector absorbing the attack.

"BANJO! KAZOOIE! ENOUGH! The father of these little dudes is now under our control, which means the pack is too! So chill. And stop your attacks." Fox knew how it could get when you're in he mindset of a battle, it was easy to get carried away and grow into a frenzy, so he had to step in and put an end to this before it was too chaotic. He wasn't close enough to Yumiko and the separated Youngling however to intercept that bout, so he could only hope Yumiko would catch on and stop attacking the Youngling as well. Fox's actions calmed the Daddy Red Eye down some as Younglings A, C, and D crowded around their father and nuzzled its legs happy to see the dad in one piece.

Fox looked over at Yumiko and beckoned her to stop fighting and regroup. "Yumiko! You and that Youngling can stop now. Head over here we got a plan to execute!" Fox wasn't sure how far along she was in a battle over there or how heated it became, but maybe by getting her attention it would help her and that Youngling come to terms and get on the same page with the rest of everyone else. The Daddy Red Eye groaned over to the separated Youngling to stop fighting as well, and return to its pack. Once they were all together, they can locate Wolf as well and at last subdue the General.

Yumiko saw the head butt coming towards her and managed to jump out of the way so the Red Eye didn't hurt her. It looked like it was going to go down soon thanks with some help from Banjo and Kazooie, and with how the father is about to be tamed soon, Yumiko wouldn't have to worry about taking down it's three other kids.

Or the first one in fact, when Fox told them all to stop fighting, as he had managed to successfully tame the Red Eye father and managed to cheer it up when it was upset. "Oh, sorry." She apologised to the Red Eye child before approaching Fox and the father and looked at the dinosaur.

"Great job in taming the Father. Now let's go find Wolf and Scales, maybe the children will follow us now that the dad is on our side." Yumiko told Fox as she was ready to follow everyone and complete the mission by stopping Scales once and for all.

If it's not too late and he escaped, which hopefully he did not, because Yumiko wants the General to be punished for what he had done.

"Did you hear that, Kazooie? Fox wants us to stop fighting." Banjo pointed out. It seemed as though Fox was successful in taming the Red Eye with their help. With the Red Eye now under Fox's control, there was no need to fight the younger ones.

"Seriously? I just got my blood pumping." Kazooie said, disappointed that the fight had come to such an abrupt end.

"Don't worry. Once we track down Scales, we'll be able to have that climactic battle." Banjo assured her.

Banjo walked over to the Daddy Red Eye, and gave Fox a confident thumbs up. "Good work. We'll be able to find Scales in no time with its help." Banjo then noticed that one of the Red Eyes still seemed a bit aggressive. Must've been because it was focused down so much. Banjo decided to walk up to it and attempt to apologize.

"Sorry about attacking you. We didn't realize we didn't have to fight anymore."

"Yeah, yeah, Banjo. I'm sure it'll forgive you for not using your brain." Kazooie snarked.

Banjo rolled his eyes and checked his backpack for something to give the Red Eye as a peace offering. Kazooie didn't like having to be taken out of the comfy backpack, but there wasn't much she could do. After a bit of searching, Banjo found something he thought would work: A small jar of honey he brought from home. "Here. You can have some." Banjo said, offering the jar's contents to the injured Youngling.

"Seriously, Banjo? Honey? Way to be archetypal. Do dinosaurs even eat honey?" Kazooie pointed out. Banjo chose to ignore this.

Unaware that the Red Eye debacle was taken care of in the best way, Wolf continues onward in trying to find the General on his own. He gets to the most deepest and inner depths of the city that looked more and more depressing and tarnished as he went. Dozens of homes and structures crushed and burnt to nothing.

Remnants and memories from various species and creatures of all kinds litter the ground. Torn scarves, scorched luggage, bits and pieces of what once was fully operational spacecrafts scattered all over the land. Wolf couldn't help but feel a little taken aback and slightly in a gasp at the sight of everything.

To think this was a city and a piece of someone's world that was a home to them. A safe place and a form of shelter for those that needed it most. and now its stripped to nothing was just starting to hit Wolf harder than he'd like to admit. Maybe it's because he was still new to this world and he couldn't believe such devastation could happen with no explanation, not one anyone could quite gather yet anyway. How much longer would it take to find answers about this mysterious planet? And how could the community shake free of this disaster?

While Wolf was deep in thought and as he kept trudging through the ruins of this city looking for Scales he heard a noise and a bustling sound. He turned over his left shoulder, but there was nothing but scrap metal and destruction, no movement or figure of any kind. He then looked over his right shoulder, nothing to note that direction either. Then just as he turned straight around to see directly behind him a green figure in a flash wrapped their scaly hands around Wolf's neck and attempted to attach something to his neck. Using as much of his energy as he could muster and getting his muscles to react like clockwork, Wolf attempts to counter this sneak attack!

Wolf is being surprise attacked by Scales with another brain washing collar. He must do a DEX roll of 15 or more to successfully dodge.

Roll for Countering Surprise Assault fa9JB7yip_1d20 + 3 (Wolf gets taken off guard and gets a collar around his neck. Officially Mind Melted for prolonged amount of time until collar is removed.)

With his scaly hands around Wolf's neck, none other than General Scales himself successfully connects another one of his brain washing collars to a victim's neck; in this case, it was Wolf! The collar clicks and connects without fail causing a red light to come on, and a discoloration in Wolf's face and eyes, making him appear more pale and dilating his pupils. Scales steps back after executing a near flawless sneak attack and rubs his claws together. "MWAHAHAHA! Now you're mine! And so are THEY!" Scales points behind him and a whole army of heroes that lined the Sector X galaxy and beyond appear from the rubble of the surrounding buildings, all with collars, and create a formation around Scales and Wolf ready to obey.

The army consisted of the following ranked space pilots and soldiers; Leon Pawalski , Andrew Oikonny , Panther Caruso , Peppy Hare , Slippy Toad , Falco Lombardi , General Pepper , and finally, someone Scales didn't have to control to be on his side began to hover over to Wolf and Scales from high above the dark neighborhood they were in and showed himself to be another old rival of both Wolf and Fox's....



Pigma in his Aparoid glory!

"I forgot to mention that I may have had a bit of help creating the tech for those brain washing collars. And Pigma was already on my team when it came to surviving on this crummy planet, and the fact that he came to this world in his Aparoid form allowed me to use his higher intelligence and preinstalled tech to make the production of the collars quicker. Yes his original size may have....shrunk some from his mothership Aparoid functions, but with my help, I salvaged the majority of his cybernetic self to still make him a deadly and smart thinking entity. As well as a transport vessel in emergencies. But instead of running away from you and your idiot friends....I got away to make time for a counter measure. So here we are!" The General managed another laugh with Pigma laughing with him in unison followed by the rest of his brain washed foes.

"Go ahead and say hello, Pigma..." Pigma's horrendous cybernetic form of both ship and flesh, looked down upon Wolf with a mighty evil glare. "Har har...my old captain...you work for US now." His voice was a combination of both robot and his original swine like voice quality.

Scales continued his rant quite proudly. "I may have been unable to relocate the defeated form of Andross who was beaten so long ago during the original Life Sphere attack, but all the rest of my victims, like you Wolf, naturally came knocking on my door thinking we needed help. We didn't need help to survive in our own domain, we needed bodies to do all the extra work we shouldn't have to." An anger and frustration builds in Scales's voice.

"Your precious Sphere has laws and rules and boring policies that limits the potential of so many! Here, we can rule this planet and survive our way. Through power, and force, and a singular mind! Everyone does as they're told and they dont ask questions. Because we TAKE what we need. No extra steps or layers to go through. We do what must be done, and in return we live another day. That is our way." After his big speech the entire brain washed army responds to Scales together as an almost, echo. "That is our way." Scales leans closer to Wolf, and sees very typically, that the old Wolf is long gone and the new one is already adapted to their...way.

"So Wolf....will you now do as I say?" Scales was testing Wolf's will asking this question. Without hesitation however, Wolf looks Scales directly in the eyes and agrees. "Yes. I will do as you ask, my king." Scales grins fiendishly. Wolf was long gone. The collar worked almost instantly. His weakened state before seemed to lock in such a state of mind much easier.

"Good. Peppy. Heal his wound. Pigma, keep a lookout and let me know when our...intruders...start closing in. We all must head to the farthest edge of the city. There we will hold our ground. They will be looking for Wolf soon, and try to apprehend me. We will not let them." Peppy nods at the order and walks over to Wolf taking out a med kit he had on him and patches up his shoulder. Pigma rises higher into the air and zooms in on the southerns part of the city. He gets a lock on the group. They were all  scrunched together in a huddle, and they were not alone, they had added to their party since theyve arrived, and it could prove problematic later.

Pigma levitates over to Scales and gives him an update. "They aren't close enough to us to be able to find our location General they have a ways to go. But, I will continue to scout around here and keep watch to inform you when they are in close proximity so we may plan our attack accordingly. It appears some in the Red Eye tribe have joined them har har!" The General acknowledges Pigma with a quick glance then turns to the rest of his army issuing more orders.

"Grr treacherous Red Eyes! Half of you will stay with Pigma here and be the first line of defense. Stay hidden in the ruins until Pigma signals you all to attack. I will keep communication with Pigma via our communicators. The other half, follow me and our new canine companion to the bunker at the far southern end of the city. That will be our last line of defense." Scales gets a unified "YES MY KING!" From his brain washed troops leaving Leon, Panther, and Slippy with Pigma at the sub point, and Peppy, Pepper, Falco, and Andrew to the far end. "We will overcome their petty team. And they will all know what it means to serve ME! Oh yes, and I almost forgot, my original native loyalists!" With those words, the General snaps his fingers and a fairly large group of lizard like warriors with swords and shields and some tribal looking armor come out of the corner from the city slums and migrate to Pigma's location. A few of them disperse with the General as well for extra protection. In total there were probably around a dozen minions that dispersed.

6 one way to Pigma's side, and 6 the other way that would stick with the General. "Hold it down, Pigma. Buy us as much time as possible over here." Pigma nods and keeps his eyes to the south for the intruders. Having no further concerns, Scales and his assigned lackeys head to the far end of the city and prepare for the incoming Life Sphere intrusion.

Pigma, Leon, Panther, and Slippy along with a few minions of Scales, take cover within the shadows of the city's structures awaiting Fox and his team. With help from a cloaking device Pigma had built into his systems, he made himself invisible patiently waiting in the skies for the Life Sphere nuisances to make their move.

Meanwhile.......

Fox and company were preparing to head north deeper into the city to find Wolf and Scales as intended. The one Youngling that was the most injured was offered a nice bit of honey from Banjo. It walked over to the bear, sniffed it, and him, a little, then ate the honey without fuss. It then cooed and nuzzled Banjo's leg slightly, as if accepting the apology of food. Fox gave a quick glance over at the group and saw everyone was present and seemed to be on the same page ready for hunting Scales and getting Wolf found. "Ok then, let's get that creep!" Fox jumped into the air and latched onto the Daddy Red Eye's neck.

He adjusts himself on the dino and points north. "Follow us!" The Daddy Red Eye lets out a mighty roar of affirmation and begins dashing straight ahead following the scent of Scales at a pretty fast speed. Fox assumed the others could find a way to catch up eventually, with the Red Eye Younglings having no issue keeping pace with their daddy. After only a few minutes of running ahead, Fox and the team made it into the depths of the Walled City where things got darker and more dismal in every sense. They slowed down and began to carefully look in all directions for any sign of Wolf or the General. Fox began to give some verbal aid in the search. "Wolf? Wolf where are you!?" He wasn't thinking at this point to be quiet, he assumed nobody would think twice on messing with him and the group with an army of dinos and two other powerful Life Sphere combatants by his side.

But he was wrong.

Pigma whispers in his communicator to Scales in a quick mutter. "They're here my King. Now pursuing targets." Scales hears this communications and responds with a rasp tone. "Destroy them all, Pigma. Those we can salvage for more control collars bring to me, otherwise, end them. We have successfully made it to the bunker. Keep us informed how that interaction goes." Pigma whispers back in a snappy response. "Roger that. Moving in." After that talk with Scales, Pigma shows himself and removes his camouflage. His daunting and beastly ship hovers over the group. He addresses them for the present moment. "Your pal Wolf is decommissioned. You want to find him and Scales you go through me. And my own little team. HAR HAR HEEE!" Pigma snorts loudly which creates a reverberating echo from within his cybernetic engine signaling support from the other foes making the road block alot tougher to pass.

Out came the brainwashed Slippy, Leon, and Panther from the right side of the city debris, then came the 6 lizard minions from the left side forming a line blocking the path of Fox and his team, and ofcourse covering the air was Pigma and his gigantic mass. Fox looked on in horror. "Sl..Slippy? What have they done to you? And Leon and Panther...Team Star Wolf...this...THIS IS NOT OK YOU MONSTER! WE AREN'T SLAVES!!!" Fox's fury shook all the way down to the Daddy Red Eye who omitted a roar towards Pigma as did the 4 Younglings at its side. "I'm only going to say this once. Free them. And let us through. Scales is coming with us, we are detaining him and if he has to be trophified so be it." Pigma squeals in a chuckle not intimidated whatsoever by Fox's words.

"Oh little fox, you know not what you are messing with. This world is different than the peaceful abyss that is our outer space or our own home worlds....it's hell. And we literally have nothing to lose. You should know that much! So we will do what it takes, TO SLAUGHTER YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES! No regrets. #Hashtag OINK OINK YOU GALACTIC TRASH! EAT THIS!" Having no patience with his psychotic psyche taking over, Pigma goes straight away to attacking Fox's entire team with a wide spread barrage of torpedoes. "PIG TORPEDO PARADE!!!!" Several pig shaped torpedoes full of explosive power head into Fox and friends direction ready to blow them to bits!

Ya'll can attack the other enemies as well before they jump into the fray here and start fighting you in the next turn as long as it is within your combat turns designated to you. Keep in mind, that Leon, Panther, and Slippy are brainwashed, so if you try and trophify them, they will be trophified as brain washed beings since the collars would still be on their necks and return if revived as brainwash beings just the same.

If you wish to try and take the collars off like Banjo did with Fox, you'll have to be sneaky somehow and fluff a post detailing how you go about doing that and must hit a 15 or above to get them off on a DEX Roll. This will take up a combat turn. So choose when to attack and how, WISELY. I will do my battle and dodge rolls in the next post. Good luck, Padawans.

As the group prepared to head north to stop Scales and find Wolf. Yumiko looked at Banjo and Kazooie feed the dinosaur that they hurt. "They probably don't but it is a nice gesture. Speaking of which." Yumiko wanted to make up with the Red Eye that she attacked, feeling bad for hurting it in the battle now that they were on their side.

"Hi, i'm very sorry that I attacked you. I don't have anything on me, but I promise I won't attack you again. Who knows, maybe we will meet each other again after we finished this mission. By the time we do, i'll give you a special item as a form of true forgiveness." Yumiko wanted to pet the younging to let it know that she was friendly, but she felt as though now was not the good time, not because they were about to move out to the north side of the city, but the Red Eye child will probably be angry at Yumiko if she petted it.

As Fox ordered to move out, he sat on the father and ride forward with the children following behind. Yumiko quickly followed suit, trying her best to catch up. "Of course he would use the Dinosaur as a form of transportation." Yumiko soon reached Fox and the Red Eyes to see them looking for Wolf, who was yet to be found.

"We still can't find him? He couldn't of gone that far, he has to be nearby." Yumiko looked up to Fox from the bottom of the Red Eye father before she turned forward when a voice called out to them.

Which was the voice of Pigma...Who Yumiko didn't know, but he had information about Wolf.

"What did you do to him you weird abomination?" Yumiko demanded answers from...Whatever Pigma was, but then he revealed that a few people that Fox knows has been brainwashed as well, judging by Fox's shocked reaction to them being brainwashed.

"Scales must of put those collars around them like he did with you." Yumiko gasped.

"What if he did the same thing to Wolf, that's why we couldn't find him?" Yumiko theorised before Pigma went on to monologue about how this planet was dangerous and how Li was different then their own world.

"Like that will happen. Were leaving here with everyone that your ruler brainwashed and manipulated by the end of the day along with Scales himself. This will stop now." Yumiko prepared for battle, only for her to start the battle by trying to dodge Pigma's torpedo's. She tried to jump out of the way.

dp_SgOs2p_1d20+2(And she did!)

Once Yumiko dodged the torpedo she found herself landing a bit far from the group. She was near Leon, Slippy and Panther and noticed that the three of them were just standing by while Pigma was and his troops were attacking the group. Yumiko saw this as a way for her to sneak up on one of them and remove one of their collars.

Looking at the three, Yumiko decided that she was going to remove Slippy's collar first. She wasn't sure if Leon or Panther will notice her or if Banjo and Kazooie were going to remove the collars first. Quietly Yumiko sneaked up behind Slippy and reached for his collar.

p_1d20+2(She successfully removed the collar!)

Yumiko grabbed onto the collar and applied a little bit of maziodyne onto it which will make it easy for her to remove the collar, which she quickly did as she ripped it off from Slippy. "Your mind is free again." Yumiko thought, as she didn't want to say it out loud in case Leon or Panther noticed.

Which they likely will soon enough.

Banjo was somewhat worried, offering food to the Red Eye. Though it seemed as though it would work, it also seemed like a good way to get your arm chewed on. Luckily, the Red Eye seemed to enjoy it, as it licked up a good portion of the jar's contents. Afterwards, it seemed content, and even seemed to be acting rather affectionate towards Banjo.

"Hey, Kazooie, check it out. Looks like we got ourselves a new friend!" Banjo said, patting the young Red Eye on the head.

"Whatever. See if it'll let us ride on its back." Kazooie said, while the two of them had taken the form of a dinosaur in the past, riding one was another story, and Kazooie couldn't help but imagine just how cool it would be.

"Uhh...sure. Hey there, buddy. Mind giving us a ride?"

The group made their way towards where Scales apparently was, as the Daddy Red Eye stayed in front, following a scent. Banjo couldn't help but notice how much of a wreck the city was. Did people actually live here? It seemed as though Scales really wasn't the great leader he hyped himself up as.

This line of thought was put on hold, however. In the sky above them, a large, circular shape appeared, with thin mechanical arms and a psychotic purple face in the center. Though Banjo didn't know his name, it was clear that Fox knew who he was.

"Fox! What is that thing?!" Banjo questioned loudly.

"Tch. I've heard of flying saucers before, but this is ridiculous." Kazooie said, not letting this sudden appearance get in the way of her general attitude towards oncoming baddies. 

"Fox, are those...Wolf's crew? And Slippy?!" Banjo said, stunned at the arrival of the now brainwashed Leon, Panther, and Slippy. How had this happened under everyone in the Life Sphere's noses? Star Wolf was one thing, but it seemed Slippy was there too. Did that mean that Peppy and Falco were brainwashed?

The volley of torpedoes wasn't sudden, but the torpedoes themselves moved surprisingly quickly. Banjo could only attempt to jump off the friendly Red Eye to try and avoid it. 

1kF49D_0p_1d20+2(Dodge roll: Failure)

The torpedo hit Banjo hard, knocking him to the ground. Getting up and dusting himself off, he saw that Yumiko at least managed to avoid the one directed towards her. She was the lucky one, all things considered.

Kazooie then pointed towards a new threat that they hadn't even acknowledged: A group of scaly dinosaur people with weapons and armor. They would have to avoid them and let the Red Eyes sort them out. In the meantime, they had a giant flying saucer to deal with.

"Kazooie, Blue Eggs, quick!"

p_1d20+2
p_1d20+2
p_1d20+2(Eggs @ Aparoid Pigma: 7% damage each)

It was barely a scratch on such a large foe, but it was something. How would they be able to take him on, anyhow? They only had so many people fighting right now. That was when it hit them: The others! the ones that were brainwashed. If they could remove all their collars, then they could help them fend off this purple Pigma. Unfortunately, it seemed they had already made their presence known. They'ed have to try it a little later. It seemed Yumiko had the right idea, though, and managed to remove the collar off of Slippy. If they kept it up, they could fight back with renewed might.

"That was our only ranged option. What do we do now?" Banjo asked, panicking now that their options had become increasingly slim.

"We get into melee range." Kazooie said, spreading out her wings. "Obviously." Before Banjo could object, Kazooie had started flapping her wings furiously, causing them to become airborne. Going up, up, and up, The two found themselves going high enough to find themselves right above Pigma himself.

"This seems like a good spot for a Beak Buster, eh Banjo?" Kazooie said, surprisingly chipper.

"Umm...okay?" Banjo said back nervously.

p_1d20+2(Beak Buster @ Aparoid Pigma: 24% damage, 30% chance to stun)

After that daring move, Kazooie let them land on Pigma himself. Doing so was dangerous, but they wouldn't stay there long. Kazooie wanted to do just one more thing before gliding off.

"Hey Banjo, let's try pecking this thing a little more."

"How?" Banjo asked.

"Just a regular beak barge."

"Phew. Alright Kazooie."

p_1d20+2(Beak Barge: 17% damage)

They couldn't do so well at the moment, but they tried to penetrate Pigma's armor a bit. However, they couldn't do so in a very effective manner at the moment. Deciding to call it quits, Banjo ran off the side of Pigma, allowing Kazooie to glide them down to safety.

'That was cool.' Kazooie thought.

Pigma went into a crazed fit of rage unleashing his torpedoes upon fox and his team. It appeared Yumiko was able to avoid the torpedoes but Banjo got hit pretty hard. Fox had with Daddy Red Eye dodged next and they had to avoid the attack together while they are working as one cohesive unit. McCloud pulled on the dino's neck jerkin the creature and himself in a sideways direction looking to serpentine Pigma's attack. With a combined dexterity they gave a solid effort to avoid the missiles.

Roll for Mounted Dodge with Fox on Daddy Red Eye xDMHwcktp_1d20 +5 (The Torpedo hits its mark hard.)

Unfortunately the two's combined muscular power was not enough to get out of the way of the attack. Daddy Red Eye got struck in its leg taking most of the hit with Fox being grazed by some of the flames in the aftermath as well. The dinosaur roared in pain but quickly recovered and shot a look of pure hatred at Pigma, ready to strike back! Its children, the 4 baby Red Eyes, stayed together once again as a pack, and attempted to dodge the onslaught together as one.

Roll for Youngling Pack Dodge p_1d20 +4 (Unfortunately the entire pack of Younglings gets struck with the brunt of Pigma's attack suffering alot of damage.)

Seeing its children be struck filled the Daddy Red Eye with even more anger and outrage. It stomped its feet as it watched the Younglings get flung into the dirt from the explosion. Fox knew it couldn't hold the dino back and allowed it to move forward with an attack. "Ok ok! Revenge it is! Let's double team this ugly pig face!" The Daddy Red Eye groaned in agreement and ran to Pigma in a mad dash then leaped into the air and attempted a powerful headbutt into its face.

STR Roll for Dino Head Bash p_1d20 + 4 (A DIRECT HIT! AND MAN WILL THAT BE CRITICALLY EXECUTED! 28% DMG!)

The headbutt was so accurate and direct, that it nearly smashed in Pigma's face practically putting a dent in the deformed cybernetic monstrosity. But they weren't done yet. Just as the attack connects, Fox takes out his blaster and fires several close range bursts at Pigma's right eye.

DEX Roll for Fox Blaster Combo p_1d20 + 4 (A weak attack but it might have done something.)

Fox's blaster seemed to act up a bit as he attempted to blast one of Pigma's eyes. So while The Daddy Red Eye was still descending back to the ground from the leap, Fox attempts to blast its other eye, the left one, just at more of a distance!

DEX Roll for Second Fox Blast Attempt p_1d20 + 4 (Another weak hit.)

The blasts were off kilter and Fox couldn't tell if they did anything to the pig, but he at least gave it a good shot and the Daddy Dino got an amazing hit in. The Daddy Red Eye finally landed and his children got back to their feet from the torpedo and regrouped with the Daddy Red Eye, however, they were severely weakened and winded, but still in this fight.

The Daddy Red Eye jolted its head in Pigma's direction and snarled at his children to attack and immediately return back. The Younglings gave their father a nod, and all four pounced into the air with the talons of their feet jutting outward and because they were so small, were able to make fantastic distance to Pigma's face once more trying to hit his flesh.

DEX Roll for Youngling Quadruple Claw Attack p_1d20 + 4 (The attack barely leaves a scratch.)

Though the baby dinos gave it their all with claws at the ready, they hardly even make it to the bottom of Pigma's ship as they jump and just barely managed to claw at the edge of the crazed swine's figure. Once they landed they reformed right back to the Daddy Red Eye and stayed close. Fox went on the Defense and reeled him and the Daddy Red Eye back a bit with his kin trying to create more distance from Pigma so they can properly have enough space to prepare to dodge another Pigma assault.

"Let's be smart about this big fella. That cybernetic blob isn't Pigma anymore. It's worse." They had to be on guard, someone or...something...as psycho as Pigma combined with that Aparoid technology was capable of anything, and with his best friends under his control, being cautious was key. While Fox was devising another plan of attack with the Red Eyes, Yumiko snuck off at the flank of the enemies and somehow managed to tip toe all the way to Slippy within the vicinity of the brain washed heroes and got his collar off quickly and efficiently!

Panther and Leon were too distracted keeping their eyes to their boss Pigma in case they needed to jump in momentarily while the cybernetic mutation was being attacked. Panther and Leon began to move closer to Pigma ready to follow the order of attack when prompted along with the General's minions. Because of all this, Slippy was able to get free unnoticed. Slippy shook off the radiation from the collar with color returning to his face and looked to his savior. A young girl had freed him! He smiled going in for a high five to her.

"Pip Pip! Thank you young lady! And...Fox. That's Fox I see out there!" Slippy waves to Fox and excitedly runs towards him. Fox turns his head to his old friend and yells out in joy. "SLIPPY! YOU'RE OK! How did you?" Slippy gets to the feet of the Red Eye Fox was riding and points over to Yumiko. "She freed me! And now I can help you all face this pink pain in the butt!" Slippy shakes a fist at Pigma who now notices he is free as did the rest of his thugs and brain washed servants. Yumiko did a wonderful thing! The team just got a bit stronger. "Here, let me help and return the favor for saving me!" Slippy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small cube. He then tosses it on the ground and it formed a giant laser based shield bubble all around the team!

"I call it the Slippy Shell. Its green synthetic energy will protect us from incoming attacks up to 60% damage. And the greatest thing? We can attack through it but they can't penetrate it. It shifts based on energy levels and body temperature, which that cube automatically scans on us so it opens up briefly whenever we strike, then closes back up when we get attacked. It's so advanced and unique that no mind but mine could forge it! Though admittedly, it could never top anything like the Life Sphere!" Slippy was obviously proud of his invention, and also happy he could help his team out for getting that pesky collar off! This should definitely support them in the tide of battle.

Slippy's shield now allows the team to take no DMG up to 60% if doing a long distance attack from within it! However, if anyone goes in for a close range melee strike to an enemy outside of the shield, they will not be protected. This shield has no time limit and will disintegrate after the full 60% of its power is depleted from attacks.

During this commotion, after Pigma's nasty torpedo attack, Banjo was on the offense against Pigma and decides to go for an aerial assault against him. They shot three giant eggs at the beastly vessel with only one really looking like it hit a good mark against it right around the snout area. Succinctly after that egg attack, Banjo and Kazooie fly high then abruptly dive down to bust into Pigma from above it for a near direct hit right on the fleshy forehead of the cyber fiend! They then continued to land on Pigma's frame after such a bold move and pecked him, but it wasn't very effective, maybe if they're lucky it would create a...small scuff...of some kind?

Overall Pigma got a big taste of what Fox and his team could do alot of which did some good damage to it but not yet bringing it down and out! It was time for him to strike back. With a carnivorous squeal Pigma ate the full force of The Daddy Red Eye's headbutt causing a large dent in the middle of its face just above the bridge of its snout. Afterwards in which a few of Fox's blasts caused it to wince a bit but nothing more than that.

From Banjo's egg throwing he got a good hit in the second time creating a burn mark on Pigma's right eyebrow and causing him to reel back a bit in pain, but the other two eggs did very little damage. It was when Banjo went airborne and slammed down to Pigma's noggin and top of the ship which caused it such pain. It shook with a tremor upon that devastating Beak Barge and a shockwave ran through its circuitry. It tried to reboot its ciruits to fight such a large impact.

Roll for Pigma Resisting Stun From Banjo p_1d100 + 5 (Pigma's mighty Constitution resists the Banjo stun effect.)

Though the beak was strong, the aftermath wasn't enough to keep it stunned. It only agitated Pigma even moreso. Then Banjo went in with Kazooie for a second beak bashing move, but it simply only pinged off the pig cyborg hardly even making a streak against its surface. Letting out a blood curdling whining sound, Pigma fought back by opening its disgusting mouth and spewing a what seemed like, endless stream of acidic vomit all over the opposing team's shield.

Mandatory Boss Roll for Acid Vomit DMG p_1d20 + 6 (The shield takes a HUGE hit as the acid goes right to work trying to burn through it. It takes away a full 30 percent from the shield's defenses landing critical hit. That's alotta vomit.)

It was like a waterwork show as acid spits in every direction all around the shield like a dangerous rain storm. Giant pellets of acidic slime and saliva crush against the shield's force trying to burn through it. A look of worry flashed across Slippy's face and caused him to panic. "Oh no! This guy is more powerful than I thought!" He hoped his shield would hold for everyone after such a move, there was still half of its power left which was better than nothing.

"I will turn you all into morsels for snack time and then spit you back out as tiny puddles of goo!" Pigma cackled at the thought of turning them all into goop. "Ok my slaves, BREAK THAT SHIELD!" After giving that order, Leon and Panther begin firing at the shield while standing underneath Pigma unleashing a shower of plasma blasts against the Life Sphere dwellers.

Combined DEX Roll for Leon and Panther Blasters p_1d20 +4 (The shield takes another hard hit with the blasts. Taking 15% DMG.)

Despite being struck again, the shield is still standing just barely. It takes a walop of attacks but remains operational. Slippy begins sweating nervously watching his invention crumble before his eyes. "Oh boy...oh no..." He starts to think of another way to help the team fend off the enemies. He was relieved at least these attacks weren't hitting their mark otherwise against the teammates themselves. That was the plus side.

"Lizard baddies. Run over there and hit that puny shield with your swords!" All 6 Lizard minions serving Pigma ran over to the shield and began bashing away at it with their swords all the while letting out adorable, but also serious, screams of battle. The shield couldn't take many more hits like the last two, maybe the strength of these little guys wouldn't be as bad.

Combined STR Roll for 6 way Lizard Bashing p_1d20 + 2 (Unfortunately for Fox and the group, they really did give the shield a thrashing. Though individually their strength sucked majorly, together, it really added up. 15 percent more DMG done.)

With their clanging and smashing away at the shield via their swords and burning flaming temper, the shield takes its last hit and shatters. The group is now open once again to a complete attack surrounded by 6 angry lizard lackeys and pin pointed from afar by Pigma and his two blasting servants Leon and Panther. Slippy ran behind Fox and the Daddy Red Eye trying to hide to give himself time to think of more tactics to help win this battle.

He shouted up to Fox. "I'm sorry buddy! Gimme a moment to prepare another plan of action here ok?" Fox looked down at Slippy as the shield broke and they became surrounded. He tried to calm his comrade down. "Don't worry so much about it Slippy what you did helped us tremendously. We still got this battle in the bag don't worry!" The Daddy Red Eye began snapping at the incoming lizard warriors while Fox took out his blaster prepping for some more offensive maneuvers. The Younglings also began to snap and hiss at the lizards as if warning them they are about to become a meal.

"Alright everyone, let's give em another what for!" Fox gave the command to strike back before the enemy butted in with another attack while the group remained vulnerable. They had to show the foes they still meant business, and giving up was still a far away thought. With Slippy's help, they averted alot of damage and a disaster that could have been drastic. Now they can push back still in good health!

Remember, you can still roll if you wanted to get the other collars off Leon and Panther, but you would need to once again detail your post well and roll the magic number via a DEX Roll to 16 or above to get that collar off. DEX Roll is harder this time because they are closer to Pigma, but give it a try if you dare, otherwise keep battling. Remember a collar roll does take a combat turn away from you. You are also allowed to try more than once to remove the collar in the same post as well, but each time takes a combat turn away.

Yumiko smiled when Slippy had thanked her. "It's no problem." However there was still the matter of freeing Leon and Panther from Scale's control and unfortunately for her, they have moved closer to the battle, which will make the process of freeing them harder then when she freed Slippy just now.

"Go to Fox, i'm going to go and free the other two from the collars." Yumiko told Slippy as she watched him run off to where Fox and co were. While they were fighting everyone, Yumiko began to sneak towards Leon and Panther in an attempt for her to get close enough to the two again to free them from the collars like she did a few minutes ago.

p_1d20+2(But she managed to free Leon!)

Yumiko decided that she was going to free Panther next. As she tried to get close to Panther, she accidentally tripped and moved away from him, knowing that he would hear her. "He was definitely going to hear me there. I need to try again later." She then turned to Leon and realized that she was closer to him then she was with Panther.

Quickly Yumiko sneaked up from behind Leon and did the same thing to his collar like what she did to Slippy's. She applied a little maziodyne onto his collar and quickly ripped it off from his neck so he can be free from Scale's control.

"And another person from Fox's world is saved." Yumiko smiled to herself as she waited for Leon to recover from his brainwashing. She moved away from him in case he reacted negatively before looking at Panther nearby.

He was the last one that needed to be free now. She just hopes that he didn't notice her when she tried to free him.

As Banjo and Kazooie glided down after Kazooie's rather dangerous plan to get up close and personal, they saw that the now freed Slippy managed to put up a sturdy-looking forcefield. Definitely a good defensive boon, however it didn't last long at all. First it was Pigma himself with a stream of acidic vomit, then it was Leon and Panther with their blasters, then finally the group of armed SharpClaws. They all targeted the shield directly, eventually destroying it.

"Uh oh. Quick, while they're distracted, let's go and free the others." Banjo suggested.

"Sure, why not?" Kazooie said, not really interested in doing so.

Banjo and Kazooie glided down, behind Leon and Panther. They landed just in time to see Yumiko remove Leon's collar, which was definitely a good sign. After all, there was just one left now. Banjo tiptoed behind Panther, and attempted to grab his collar with both paws.
