"Well Reggae, What are we looking at?" Dr. Wily, Dressed in a Warm Winter Coat for this Frozen Scrap Heap, would ask of his Robotic Fowl, Looking down upon the Robot he had brought along. "We're looking at a castle, Of course! A Russian themed one as well! You know if your having trouble seeing i can schedule an appointment with a glasses manufac--" Wily stopped his robots Squawking right there by Bopping him on the noggin. "I mean the SCAN you smart ass!" Wily Chastised. 

"Ooooh-- Right, HAH! Right! Detected various robots inside-- Minimal Starvia activity however! Just the Feintest Whispers of Shadow Bugs-- Aaaand...ONE Life Sign!" Tango would squawk , As Wily nodded. "...One life sign, Huh? Well-- We'll see who it is. Good. And the...Evil Energy source?" Wily Asked. "Exactly where you last saw it in the Scan, Your Alzheimer's-ness! Top Level has a HUGE Source of Evil Energy, Just Gathering itself and spreading out through the castle!"

"Right...We're heading for the Top Floor then." Wily would say...Before turning around, and meeting his Vision with Kalinka, and Roll! Kalinka had offered Roll a Fluffy Winter Jacket from her own closet for this mission. Sure, she was a robot, but, Kalinka wanted her to atleast enjoy the feeling of being fluff'd up for Winter.

"Alright. Lets start with the Stupid Question Barrage you are *inevitably* going to throw at me." Dr. Wily asked, Eyeing kalinka in particular. 

"...Okaaay. Why dont we just...Fly up to the Top floor instead of going all the way through my Papa's castle?"

"Alrighty-- First stupid question. Observe." Dr. Wily would say, Taking a Rock and just...Throwing it straight up in the Air. Immediately-- A Cannon from one of the Castle's Sides took aim, and Fired a massive buster shot-- Which immediately incinerated the Rock. "After i first kidnapped you, Your father suddenly became very suspect of UFO's, I suspect."

"...O-okay...W-why do you need me?"

"Second Stupid Question-- We are on a Roll. No Relation." Wily said with quick note to glance at Roll. "You have the Secret Codes and Override's that can enter any door in this building. Heck-- Try the Door." Wily would offer, as Kalinka walks on up to the Door of the Castle...A Panel was open, Which scanned her eye, And Promptly began opening up the Front Gate, as it slid apart to the Courtyard-- and to the Castle Proper.

"W-woah!"

"Yes, Yes, 'Woah' Indeed...Simply put, In the Top Floor is the Source of the Energy we are looking for-- And the Main Control Deck of the Facility. Get in there-- We get the Castle. Everyone in agreement?"

"...Im ready." Kalinka says with a quiet nod.

"So she's the key is she?" A voice calls as a portal of darkness opens not far from the group. "Take the castle and you take the energy. Simple enough plan. We shall assist you in this task," the voice continued as a tall woman with a raven on her staff walked out of the corridor. Behind her was a wizard like figure known as a Heartless that was rather docile for one as it showed no intent to attack yet.  The corridor closed itself behind them. "It is a rather nice castle, isn't it?" She adds with a small smile as she looked over the Cossack Castle and it's many defenses.. A variable fortress like that could prove most useful even if the Evil Energy is a bust.

"... Ah, I'm Maleficent. I picked up your message and wanted to see this evil energy for myself. Our goals co-incide so let's co-operate, shall we? I help you get to the control room I get t0 see this research. Fair?" She offers as she begins to walk past them as if the deal was already made her Heartless floating beside her and her raven, Diablo just turning around to look at the four.

And what was the point of creating a gynoid if you couldn't pretend they were a giant barbie and play dressup with them? ...You will never convince me bodysuits and other faux nudity are the future of fasshion, every sci-fi series ever. Anyway, Roll-Roll accepts the coat and puts it on. Cold tolerance or not, a bit of warmth felt nice. She remained quiet as they approached and talked, just kinda hanging out until a particular bit of info caught her attention. Wait, Dr. Cossack was alive?? ...Of course, the infection. She glanced to Kalinka in mild concern. Regardless of what she said, she was definitely not ready for this... She flashed a casual thumbs up as Wily glanced at her to signify that she understood.

Her gaze shifted to Maleficent as she arrived. Oh hey, she knew her! ...She decided to keep her mouth shut though. See, she didn't exist purely to annoy people by knowing things unexpectedly, so it benefited her to keep her cards hidden until she had a good reason to show them. She moved to enter, pausing for a moment to discreetly offer Kalinka a hand to hold as she did. “Hey, Kalinka. Do you know why there's evil energy in your dads castle? Seems like a weird thing for him to just have around, doesn't it?” Roll-Roll casually inquired. She had several suspicions, some of them posing risks to their safety.

Astute observation on Roll-roll's part, certainly. Kalinka was full of fear-- Plain as day upon her face. There was an entire building full of the memories of her late father before her, And-- If it was true that Doctor Cossack was in there-- Another nightmare in the form of watching her fathers infection...However, Despite her terror and pain, Kalinka continues to take step after step into the Courtyard.  "Yes-- She's the Key to the castle..." Dr. Wily would say to Maleficent. "...Not as nice as my Castle." Wily would off-handedly comment. "Pah! Any research that fool Cossack cooked up is--"

"S-stop it!" Kalinka suddenly interjected, Looking at Wily with a Stern, Angry expression. "...D-dont talk bad about my dad, or...I'll go home."

"..." Wily was actually quite caught off guard by that, blanching before taking a moment, gathering himself..."...A-as i was saying-- That research is probably years old compared to anything going on at the life sphere now. So-- Help yourself to the outdated reports, by all means. All *I* want is whatever's producing that Evil Energy!" Wily would say, As he too joined Kalinka in the Castle's Courtyard, Underneath the snow was a Metal Floor which  encompassed the entire facility.


Kalinka, Meanwhile, Held Roll-roll's hand as soon as it was offered, as Kalinka quietly lead the way to the First door. Roll-roll's Question made Kalinka tilt her head, before shaking it. "Net. I have no idea why Father would have something like this in his castle...But, I know Papa wouldn't use that." Kalinka gave as her answer, Though her voice clearly sounded unconfident. Who knew. Maybe desperation of being out here in the Life sphere wastes leads to using some Desperate measures. Regardless-- Kalinka's next Door lay ahead, as she approached the Castle's main door, and approached a control panel. She pondered for a moment...It was a 8 Digit code. Kalinka decided to try...Her Birthday.

Beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep-beep beep.

DING!

The Door slides open once more, Giving way to a Metallic and '200X' looking Russian Castle Foyer.  Inside-- The group would at least be given the Mild satisfaction of being out of the direct blizzard-like weather outside. "...H-hehe...It kinda feels like home. In a weird way." Kalinka offers, Shaking her head as she looked around the Castle. Usually in a castle, Kalinka would be filled with ideas of being the princess of such a locale. But, Here and now, It just felt like a bitter hollow land. "Let's see...If i remember correctly-- Papa had an Elevator over on top of the stairs here. We can just go straight up-- Or atleast as high as we can." Kalinka offered with a smile.

Approaching the Elevator Doors, Kalinka taps the 'Call' Button, As the doors slid open to reveal a spacious elevator. Kalinka stepped inside, and began to Ponder. "...You know-- I remember that Papa made a Room for me in this castle too. It was where i was held prisoner when Wily Kidnapped me--" Kalinka says, Narrow eyes given at Wily. "YEESH! You never let anything go, do you?! I swear, the ONE time!" Wily defended himself. "...But, I remember i had a bunch of toys and stuff there too...U-uhm...Do you think we could stop by there and see if...Maybe we could take them back home?" Kalinka decided to sheepishly ask.

"...Third stupid question. Absolutely no way in the name of any deity are we wasting time to go gather up some dollies and teddy be--"

"Guess i'll go home then."

"IIIII MEAN--" Wily started backpeddling. "...BAH! Fine, Fine, We'll spend precious seconds sucking up some infected air getting your toys!"

Kalinka smiled. She was getting pretty good at manipulating people. "Thank you~ It's actually on the way up, so, It's just a little side stop too~!"

[DLN-002-02 Roll Light]

...If Cossack wasn't responsible for the evil energy being here, then who was? A no doubt comforting thought raised much less comforting questions. “...Gettin' too old for kids, huh?” Roll-Roll casually asked Doctor Wily, observing the way he fussed with Kalinka. Meanwhile, she had booted up her vacuum and set it to quiet mode, a setting that weirdly enough existed because every vacuum cleaner you've ever owned has been intentionally designed to be incredibly noisy, and begun compulsively cleaning as she moved, including briefly touching up Kalinka. This place was probably dusty as hell considering it had been sitting there unused for a while right?

She then passed a glance back at Maleficent. “C'mon Judge Spookyname, we've got ground to cover.” Roll-Roll sassily remarked, taking position in front of the elevator in a rude fashion. ...Y'know because she'd be in the way of anyone trying to get off.

So he just wants what is producing it... While that may be of interest to her she is not going to tarnish a potential partnership with it yet. She can produce plenty dark energies on her own. "Very well, you may have that. I'll see how much use the notes will be when I obtain them," she replies. Evil energy might not even be a very useful resource compared to her own but it was a venue she was checking out just in case. She did give a glance towards the small robot for a moment... She had something strange about her as far as her intuition could say.  "... The child is doing you a favor, doctor, least you could is abide by her request," Maleficent added to Kalinka's statement in a kind of amusement. She wasn't really into the side trip but she knew it's best to keep pawns close. She didn't feel like dealing with the entirety of this fortress's security to get one set of documents...

"... Hmph, that we do..." She replies to Roll-Roll, sweeping her cloak before nodding to the Heartless by her side to follow along. Entering to the back of the elevator to stand with her Heartless in tow.

[PolarStarQuote]

"Who're you callin' Old?! ...But if you must know, im too old for most of the Adults in the life sphere." Wily would bark at Roll-roll with a grumpy mustache twitch, As The Group piled into the Elevator, Kalinka giving Maleficent a pretty wide smile for her encouragement. "Thank you, Miss." Kalinka thanked with a princess's Courtsey, As The elevator doors closed round them, and Kalinka hit a few buttons, along with a key-code entry, and up they went.


. . .




...Wily sort of narrows his eyes at the Defender Heartless. "Hey, Get your Stupid Big Hat out of my face." He Barked. Kalinka giggled softly "Aww, I like the Big Hat!"


.....


The Elevator finally stopped, Opening up to reveal a pretty sizable Toy Room. It wasnt exactly much-- The Floor was mostly the hard metal with a large round Flower Rug filling it, With a Oversized Teddybear in a corner with Matted and Torn up fur from years of neglect And various other small toys scattered about, With a few Windows to bring in natural light. "...Feels oddly nostalgic! F-for what used to be my prison cell." Kalinka offered with a slight smile, as she walked inside and inspected around.

Wily, however, grumbled as he walked out, looking around. "If you ask me, Your father wasted too much time on this. It's a Cell. It isnt supposed to be a play room!" He would say, as Kalinka stopped, Mid-stashing a Princess Mettaur Plushie in her Scavengers pack as she pouted. "My Dad was nice to me, because he's my Father!" She whined, as Wily grinded his teeth, Took a breath, and groaned. "Fine! Fine, Whatever!" He would grumble, picking up a stray Glass Ball from the ground and looking through it, and out the window.


...Where he saw something approaching, and approaching very, very fast. "...Uhhh--"


There was a spray of Fire from the Turrets outside-- But unfortunately they were not fast enough, as a sudden flash of light crashed through the Metal door, blasting back debris and toys at the group as Kalinka screamed and doubled back over at the sight...

"Ive tracked the Evil Energy down to this place...And who should i find, But Doctor Wily. Attempting to use it for his own gains."




Extraterrestrial Robot with a Sense of Justice!

DUO!

"...Oh! Arent you one of Megaman's Friends??" Kalinka asks, Approaching Duo with a smile. "Im Kalinka-- We havent been properly introduced, But--..."

"Wily's Subordinate, No doubt?"


"W-what?? No, No no no, I-I'm not--"


"Yet your friends all emanate such potent evil." Duo says, Glancing at Roll-roll and Maleficent and her Heartless.  "Those who stand beside evil, Seek Evil...Must be Evil." He would say, as his Fist glew a bright neon blue. "If you are truly good, 'Kalinka'...Stand aside. I'll destroy these Evildoers."

"W-what?! N-no, No you cant--!!"


But it was too late, as Duo locked into position, and Readied to Fight!







Duo!

HP: 1000/1000

Status: About to punch you with JUSTICE!



And Indeed he was, as Duo reels his massive fist back, And Charged directly for the most potent Evil in the room-- Maleficent, and Tries to give her a Massive Gut Punch with a Lawful Energy Jab!

Maleficent! DUO PUNCH! Roll a 16 in your Dodge, or else take 32% Damage!

Following this, Duo turned his gaze to Roll-roll, and promptly launched his Arm out, Unleashing a Pink Lawful-Energy Hand Projection at her to Grab her!

Roll-Roll! Roll a 17 in DEX, Or else, Be Grappled by a 17 STR Energy Projection! As well, This Grab will cause your Evil Energy to begin destroying itself and burning you as a result-- dealing 20% damage for each turn you are grabbed!

Roll-Roll opens her mouth to sass Wily, really considers whether she wants to continue down this path that has just taken her to learning about Wily's dating life, or lack-there-of, and thinks better of it. Naaah she's just gonna let him have that one. As they got to the top floor though, Roll-Roll had to resist the urge to begin compulsively cleaning. “...Your dad kept you prisoner?” Roll-Roll asked. Oh hey look Wily, competition for Worst Dad! Again though, big distraction coming. Roll-Roll brandishes her broom defensively as Kalinka approaches that... thing. Her other half was giving her memories, but they weren't very helpful right now.

Specially since she getting grabbed by lawful energy! A shrill scream of pain escaped her as she was grabbed by the much bigger bot, dropping her broom on accident. Damn it. This wasn't how this was supposed to go!

p_1d20 (Hands off; Strength Check)

A girly scream of rage escaped Roll-Roll as she pushed back against the grappling hand, prying it open with all of her very limited strength. She then dropped down onto the ground into a crouching position, slid out from under the energy hand, and stood back up. Holding up a hand, she proceeded to summon the X-Blade into her empty hand. “...You got me there. My name is Nameless Copybot, loyal servant of Dr. Wily. And I'm bad to the bone.” Roll-Roll replied with a tone full of venom, directing the legendary blade at Duo's chest.

Roll that music is so old the reference probably makes Wily nostalgic what are you--

...Roll-Roll opens a wormhole gateway underneath Duo in an attempt to banish him! Where does this particular wormhole lead? Hmm... Let's say... The Moon. So there's like a 50% chance she drops them on Viridi.

"HraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Cue an intense flaming blue punch to send maleficent flying back in a furious bash-- which, sent her flying back, before sending out the flaming hand to grab at roll and pulled her in close, gripping her tight. "The Evil in your heart...Will be destroyed!" Duo would remark with anger, as Roll managed to pry Duo's fingers open enough for her to slip through! Duo grasped his hand tight, raising it up to deliver an almighty slam down ontop of roll...Until, A dimensional wormhole opened up underneath him, the Vacuum suddenly pulling him through, and closing just as quickly!


"...When the heck did i install THAT?! ...Why haven't i installed that MORE?!" Wily would ask in abject disbelief at what he just witnessed as, Roll-Roll would suddenly be approached by Kalinka, and given a great big hug! "Roll-- Thank goodness!" Kalinka expressed some intense worry for the dear copy-bot.

Meanwhile....

Duo landed onto the surface of the Lunar Moon, standing up and looking around. 

"Hmph...Cheap trick."





"Tch...Of course, another random creep showing up to try and badger us. Look, We told you guys before--"


"You. You're a being of evil."

"...Heh. Yeah, you got *that* right. I'm Dark Pit...And I'm Bad to the B--"

Before Dark Pit could finish, Duo suddenly flew into him and punched him dead in the face, sending him flying back! Dark Pit skid onto the surface of the floor, rolling his neck. 

"Oh. You're gonna regret that."


[Duo has been...Occupied.]

"Well...Unless you sent him to another dimension, I do not think that will hold him back for as long as you'd like. We got the stupid toys, now can we PLEASE continue on with what were actually here for?!" Wily would demand, as Kalinka smiled, stuffing the Princess Mettaur into her purse. "Sure thing! ...Erm-- shouldn't we get Miss Maleficent with us too?" She would ask, as she looked to Roll-roll. "...N-not by turning her into an E-tank, if possible."
