[Mr. Game & Watch]

The blades of the dainty Kremling dug into the hull of the roof as she completed her attack. Being inattentive to the Egyptian hands, she began to tug at the handles of her swords in order to tear them out of the ground. As she finally popped them out, she heard the being mumble something in broken English. It reverted her eyes back to the creature, but it was difficult to completely avoid the attack it had in store for her. She could tell just by its movements that whatever it was it was going to do was going to hurt a lot, so she tried the best she could to jump out of range. Unfortunately, she made it only so far that he crushed anything below her torso and continued to squeeze. She winced in pain. “Krook! I need a hand here!” she shouted to her partner. Kutless didn’t completely rely on her partner though, she knew she had to find an alternative if he couldn’t attend to her rescue. She spotted the hinges in the being’s fingers and began to hack away at them with her heavy blades. Perhaps if she tried force she could create her own path to freedom.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the battle field. The reptilian finished his chase of the bee as he was within the vicinity of the creature. Like any true bee that felt threaten by a larger predator, it began to attack, as he did though Krook’s partner called out for assistance. The shady saurian turned his head in her direction out of reaction knowing that if Kutless was calling for help that it was a serious deal. Charmy was able to plant his stinger directly on the back of the croc’s skull. Through gut reaction, Krook swung one of his mighty hooks at the insect in a slashing motion hoping to catch some part of his body on the metal weapon and forcing his opponent against the ground. “I told you, stop picking fights with people bigger than you!” the reptilian called back as he pulled a smaller scale TNT barrel from his coat and bowled it toward the direction of Vector and Eyerok, aiming for the stone hands in specific. This barrel would be activated upon touch, so if the titan were to move out of the way he’d be unaffected. If he could move out of the way fast enough that is.

Below and behind the duo that had recently climbed to the roof, from the doors emerged a new threat to their operation. A small army of Klampons scurried from the front entrance. The creatures looked to be descendants of the well-known Klaptrap, the only difference between them was the red splotches that covered most of their otherwise baby blue bodies. They immediately swarmed toward the vines on the ground and began munching away at the adolescent Piranha plants.

Vector quickly took note at the Kremling exterminators. The roof was already holding a two on two match without him, the plants needed to be attended since they held the utmost importance to the mission itself. He eyed both of the fights. “Eyerok, I gotta handle those things down there. You’ll be okay here right?” the lime crocodile questioned the being. He couldn’t possibly wait for the answer, but he couldn’t abandon his partner without its confirmation. He resorted to spewing giant napalm bubbles from his mouth and direct them at the horde of creatures. It landed against a group of them and erupted, but it wasn’t enough to stop them all.

[Coolshaymin]

Thanks to the laws of physics charmy managed to get past the attack of the Scary Kroc despite the unexpected change in target. However, there  seemed to be an army attacking the flowers and Charmy couldn't have that and losing the backup he gained. At the thought of this Charmy gave a whistle and very quickly a swarm of bees could be heard as they charged at the bee and stopped when they were directly in front of him. "Those fiends are attacking the flowers we planted! Can you take care of them?" Charmy asked. The swarm of bees only answered with a roaring buzz before flying down to visciously attack the krocs. With their vast numbers and small size, the bees should be able to handle them. With this, Charmy looked in the direction of the Scary Kroc.

(The Swarm has 3 turns left.)

[Deleted]

Eyerok could feel the creature beneath it's fingers. The other hand opened to look at the pirate struggling to get free from its firm grasp. The guardians bright blue eye was seemingly soulless from he looks of it. It was as if there was nothing considered living about this thing. As the croc began to hack at the lining between his fingers the hand holding the croc tightened it's grip. It wasn't too bad but Eyerok could feel it. Small bits of rock and some sand left where the blades clashed.

The TNT barrel headed for him was not so pleasant. Eyerok didn't realize it till last second as he was focusing on bringing the reptile between his fingers as much pain as possible. The hands were struck by the blast and it made Eyerok drop the its victim. The open hand flew back and shut it's eye tightly to try and stop the pain it felt. Maybe it would be best to go for the one who could throw bombs as it also left some cracks in the guardians body or well, hands.

Eyerok listened in on Vectors words and responded in a somewhat weak voice but still in his normal broken tone, "Protect plant... I stay..." Afterwards, he turned his focus back onto the enemies and balled a fist and swung at Krook. One hand stayed open to aid in accuracy as the eyes had very good accuracy. Remembering from his injury though, the hand hovered above the ground a bit so it would be a bit harder to reach it while also gaining an over top view.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The tiny reptile grew somewhat fearful as the grip of the titan only seemed to strengthen at every attempt she made to weaken it. Her blades bounced off the stone hide of the hand as though she was trying to slash a mere rock with a steak knife. It hacked off little bits, but it paled in comparison to her partner’s use of a bomb. The thing quickly released her as the explosive impacted with its fingers. She fell back onto her feet once more and her stance was slightly weakened by her lower half of her body being compacted within the fists of Eyerok. Her eyes were still locked onto her initial target. “Blah blah, it’s always size with you. At least big hands over here doesn’t have massive hooks to try to compensate for his-“

“-Shaddap, Kutless!” Krook shouted across the battlefield. From what the hook handed Kremling could tell, the bee wasn’t posing too much of a threat to him. He summoned some sort of swarm of his brethren, but decided on aiming for the minions instead of himself. The crocodile had no objections to that. It even allowed time for the lowly lizard to inspect on his TNT’s succession. From what he could pick up, the golem did not enjoy the attack so it seemed to switch its targets and aim directly for him. The overcoat cladded croc leaped out of the line of fire and somersaulted when he landed in order to make for a fast recovery. Eyerok was now set on a crash course toward his ally, more specifically Charmy.

Kutless watched as her enemy raced off after Krook. She shook her head in disapproval and chased after the hand, though she wasn’t nearly as fast as the being of stone for whatever reason. “Do you always have to take my dance partners too?” the tiny Kremling retorted as she raced to rejoin the fight once more.

As for Vector, as soon as he heard the approval of the stone giant he leapt off the edge of the roof to return to the ground yet again. To ease his descent he faced the sky and blew a nice and big pink bubble to act as a sort of parachute. Different concepts, but used for the same purpose. The sticky pink substance popped as he neared ground level and finally he was within range of his tiny blue relatives. He watched as they scurried around him and aimed specifically for the plants as though it was their birthright to chomp down weeds. This was going to be more difficult than just baiting them.

The lime crocodile rolled himself into a cartwheel and began to run over the lizards to try to catch their attention or cause them enough pain to cease their attempts. His cartwheel was much like the famous spin dash that most that hailed from Mobius were able to perform, only difference was Vector was far too big to make a spherical shape. It seemed that he wasn’t alone in his struggle however, a horde of bees also answered the call began to irritate the Klampons to the point that they ceased their plant eating actions in order to feast on the bees. They snapped at the air in a continuous fashion in an attempt to squash them all.

[Coolshaymin]

As soon as Charmy turned around, his hand golem partner was flying right at him. This gave Charmy an idea. Charmy jumped over Eyeroc by taking flight and then miraculously picked up his massive stone partner. Charmy then used Thundershot to send his stone partner back at the Scary Kroc. However, this shot would not stun the Kroc, unfortunately. However, given the size and weight, this was going to hurt pretty badly.

Meanwhile down with Vector, the bees moved out of the way of the snaps of the Klaptoons with ease. Their small size and speed make them near impossible to hit. Plus, this just made the bees angrier as they continued to retaliate with even more rage.

[The swarm has 2 turns left.]

[Deleted]

The strange static net like substance that covered one of Eyerok's hands felt rather unusual but since the bee seemed to be working with it, Eyerok let it slide. The stone hand was redirected to the croc of his choosing while the free hand took watch. The others seemed to be occupied with the attacking hand so the lone half watched on what the others would do.

The being of rock was not to sure what to do now. The hands worked as a team and when one was down the other would need to work up for the other. The free hand hovered up over the roof to View the battlefield and develop an idea. If one made a move for him, the stone could easily drop Like an anvil on one of them.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As Kutless’s opponent was being tossed around like some sort of soccer ball, she quickly decided against fighting against the being of stone brick. She switched targets to the bee that was currently harassing her ally with an electrically charged Eyerok. Charmy was airborne, but that didn’t really matter to the miniature Kremling, he was still within her reach. As she made a b-line toward the insect she leapt off of the ground and aimed directly for the bee while making an X style slash at him when she got near. “You know, you boast about size yet you couldn’t even take on a bee half your size” the croc sassed her ally in arms.

An unexpected twist had taken place, Krook had no clue that something he used to twist into his favour could be so quickly thrown back in his face. The electrified fist flew so fast into his direction that the Kremling could hardly do anything to avoid it at this point, so he stood his ground and hooked one of his claws into the roof in order to keep a good footing. The fist pounded the crocodilian, but he was able to absorb much of the force though not the electric shock as much. He swung his other hook hand into the side of the Egyptian golem. A crazed look in his eye, he stared at Eyerok hoping to grapple the stone being. “That thing is a lot stronger than he looks, cut me some slack” Krook shot back to his partner.

“Pft, I ain’t cutting you anything.”

Vector’s spin dashes were somewhat ineffective to the army of Klampons, while it did injure the ones he attacked there were plenty more to take their place after they had been trampled. Their numbers seemed close to about half of a hundred, which was enough to contend with on his own and even the bees summoned by Charmy weren’t as effective as they would need to be in order to settle their numbers. While yes there were more than enough bees, they did little more than annoy the lizards, however, that gave Vector enough of an opportunity to finish them off while they were distracted.

The lime crocodile quickly gave up on attacking each Kremling individually and decided to take on the masses. He found an area infested with enough of the creatures and began to spin on his toes while he spewed out multi-coloured music notes at his enemies.

The Klampons seemed to show more concern toward the bees than their larger distant relative. While a majority of them continued to mow down the stems of the Piranha Plants, others continued to snap their jaws at the swarm. They didn’t aim for individual bees, but instead they aimed for a group of them and rapidly clamped the air in hopes to catch at least one.

[Coolshaymin]

Charmy was told of the smaller Kroc wa attacking when she said yelled to her partner... Did Charmy really give his allys away like this? Oh well, the smaller size of course meant she would have a harder time getting through a tailwind. So Charmy flapped his wings at Kutlass to blow her back while slowly flying up at the same time to get out of her range. While doing this, Charmy stuck his tounge out at the smaller kroc as the immature bee he is.

Meanwhile with the two Klaptoon fighters, the bees were a clever bunch. With the use of their hive mind, they all dodged the Klaptoon's bites together. However, this was going nowhere fast and the bees had a tight schedule so it looks like they need to try harder. The bees all grouped together and then viciously attacked one Klaptoon to another in rapid succession, grouping out of the way of their bites as well.

[The swarm has 1 turn left.]

[Deleted]

The fist rebounded by Charmy hit its new target with force. It fell back onto the roof after socking the reptile with a thunder punch. Krook managed to hook a claw on it in between the stone fingers of the being. The airborne hand however, hovered over him. It eyed down the new target Charmy had set for it. "You think you beat me...?" The hands said as the caught hand opened up. The hook was set in a good amount so it might pull on his arm when Eyerok opened the fist.

From the sky, the second fist balled up and dropped down, planning to crush Krook. Eyerok actually enjoyed smacking these guys around although he wasn't one for expressions. The hand came down with a heavy shadow over Krook as gravity set in and kicked it downward. Krook might have been able to tell something was coming by the shadow but that was up to him.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Kutless’s attack somehow missed the unsuspecting bee. It could have been because she gave her location away from socializing with her partner, but she attacked first and spoke afterwards, so that didn’t make any sense. Regardless though, her two gigantic blades fell victim to gravity once more and anchored her toward the ground since they were inherently heavier than her actual weight. She felt a strange breeze during her descent toward the roof, but it did little more than take her breath away for a brief moment. “How the hell do you even hit this thing?” she quickly asked Krook as Charmy taunted her miss.

Krook could feel his hook catch onto the golem’s body as though it was an actual limb on his body. Just as planned. What wasn’t planned was the over casted shadow that shrouded the area around him. A quick inspection of what was above him gave him enough of a clue. He had to change tactic then and swiftly before he was crushed like his partner earlier. In one speedy motion, the crocodilian rolled another tiny TNT barrel from his sleeve as a parting gift for the descending hand and used the leverage of the other hand to swing around so that he was on the side opposite to the palm. His feet landed on the stone being as he was now piggybacking on the ancient being. He swung his other claw in between Eyerok’s ring and middle finger to grapple onto the being better and also possibly stab the creature in the eye. He didn’t know where the eye was positioned on the stone golem, so it was a blind shot. “I don’t know, the little bugger’s too small!”

“Whatever, with your big clumsy claws you couldn’t even catch a banana out of DK’s horde. I got this” the little croc answered. The insect was still high in the sky, but that didn’t mean that Kutless still couldn’t try to reach him. Her eyes locked onto both of Eyerok’s hands and waited for the perfect timing. She leapt onto the first fist that her partner was propped up against, then to the one that was falling to crush the TNT box and finally leapt toward the airborne bee hurling one of her blades at him like a Frisbee. Quickly afterwards she fell toward the ground once more.

Vector was quickly getting tired of trying to hold off the crocodiles with no help besides a swarm of bees. He supposed this would be a good a time as any to unleash his full potential and be rid of the Klampons. He swiped two walkie talkies from his boot strap and launched them to the furthest ends of the horde. He rolled another of the devices from his gloved sleeve and a microphone out of the other. He coughed to clear his throat and placed both of the amplifying devices next to his scaly lips. “Ahem, here comes the original hit single from Vector the Crocodile himself. Can’t get this in stores ladies and gentlemen” the lime crocodile spoke easily as though he was his own announcer. “BWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” he cried into the mic with the vilest note he could reach. Given his vocal range that was nothing good for the Klampons. Unfortunately it was close enough of a range for it to affect the battle on the roof, but that didn’t matter all that much. Besides he preferred that his allies weren’t made deaf.

The mere pain of the vocals stopped all of the tiny blue crocodiles’ operation. Even the ones that attempted to cover their ears couldn’t save themselves, their ear drums were already busted to the point of no repair. Even the bees would be affected, but they were fortunate enough to have the ability to fly out of range. The crocs cowered as everything around them went from excruciatingly loud to a piercing white noise. Sound was now a thing of the past to them. Vector went unaffected due to both his resilience to sound based attacks and the fact that his headphones also had an activate-able noise canceling feature.

[Coolshaymin]

Chsrmy honestly did not expect the agility of the Kremling, she was actually quite agile. As she jumped atop the hands, Charmy was thinking of how to stop her. Charmy then noticed she threw her sword at him as if it was some kind of game of catch. And like any game of catch, Charmy was the master. Charmy caught the sword expertly by the hilt and threw it back at the smaller Kremling. Again, this Thundershot would not have stunning properties due to Charmy's luck, but it was a sharp weapon and the added ectectric attribute should make it stronger.

The bees would of gone out with one more round of stinging, but danger sense came from the Crocodile. The bees had a busy schedule anyway and their game of annoyance had to come to an end. They flew away to do whatever they are so busy with.

[The swarm has ended.]

[Deleted]

Sometimes Eyerok wished he was faster than he was. The clever Krook dropped a TNT barrel underneath the falling hand and with the crushing impact the barrel exploded onto both of Eyerok's hands. The hand that Krook was hanging on fell backwards onto it back, which would most likely knock the piggybacker off, while the fist didn't take as much damage due to it being closed but had a fair amount of cracks all over the bottom of it. The stone hands grunted as they fell down. This TNT trick was getting annoying to him. VERY annoying. The hands decide to put an end to this.

The hands rotated themselves back up onto their base and put them closed together. The eyes closed for a moment and the hands spoke, "Enough." The voice was threatening in tone and was not in a good mood. Both hands balled up into a fist then suddenly opened with their fingers flipping out like it was batting something away. A small whipping of wind could be heard from everyone on the roof. It grew louder every few seconds until it was like a twister was nearby. Sand began to flick up from the ground beneath them and envelop a large area of the roof. Considering Eyerok's size and his ability to channel such unnatural powers, it was like an actual full on sandstorm you would encounter in the desert. The heat and whipping of sand and wind grew heavy and made it difficult to see. Since Krook was the closest to the brick monstrosity when he summoned it, he got the worst of the storm.

Eyerok used to this distraction to move away from his attacker and ready itself. Years upon years of sleeping in it and being made of it gave him the advantage he needed to send these two to their sandy graves. The hands kept their eyes on Krook and focused in on him before raising themselves above him. Both hands went onto attack so the area they covered was twice as much as their normal overhead crush attack. With the hands in place, they closed themselves in place and dropped like an anvil down towards Krook. There was no way he could escape this, or so Eyerok thought.

["Power of the Sands" has been used.  The storm will subside after two turns.]

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The runty reptile landed, digging her sword into the metallic roof to stabilize her descent and acting as a third leg. She peered upward for a moment to watch as her attack basically just handed the puny bee a weapon. Luckily he was just as ingenious with his approach as he just threw it back at her. She unsheathed the cutlass yet again and held it up to deflect the other blade. “What the hell. Krook, you wanna change partners again? I getting real sick of whiffing every shot.” As the blade connected with her own, the electric current spread through the two steel blades and the shock evidently passed onto Kutless. It made her flinch a bit but nothing more.

The gigantic hand seemed to have slow reaction time to the Kremling’s bomb placement, which was good because it seemed to do enough damage to the ancient golem. Side effect though, he didn’t consider what it would do to the hand he was riding on. The explosion apparently had enough knockback to cause the hand to fall over. Krook attempted to jump out of the way before the being could fall directly on top of him, but he missed his mark. Only the fingers landed on the reptile, so it could’ve been much worse. “You know there’s one hand for each of us, you wanna come over here and take’em out with me. I’ll hold down that bee for yah when we’re done” as the crocodile finished talking though, a sudden sandstorm started to kick up. The dirt began to whirl all around the building, despite there not being too much to use in the vicinity. The winds were another contender. Krook couldn’t see much past his own partner, who was only a couple feet away. He dug both his hooks directly into the metal on the roof to keep himself in place as his overcoat began to flap wildly into the updraft. Sand pelted the Kremling’s body, but his rough skin and coat absorbed most of the minor damage.

The tinier reptile followed in suit with her partner’s move considering that she was even lighter than him. She re-equipped her second blade before preforming her action. “Oh, so now you start sweet talking me?” she retorted in a sassing manner. She couldn’t see either of her opponents, so she saw it best that she kept her guard up for their next line of attack instead of wasting her turn on blindly attacking into the wind. She retracted her blades as she saw Eyerok’s approach though, she started to run the opposite direction. “Krook, above!”

The trench coated Kroc peered up at the sky, seeing that the rock golem was attempting his crushing attack again, though he only had a split second to observe this before it was too late to begin moving. The crocodilian wailed in maniacal laughter as the hands came closer to crushing him. Apparently he didn’t remember a very important factor of this Kremling. He carried a bunch of explosives in his jacket, ones that erupted on contact. The minute that the two of them connected every single explosive on his body burst and the two of them were quickly engulfed in the flames and the shockwave was enough to cause tremors that residents on the other side of the Life Sphere could feel. It blew a hole clean though that section of the warehouse. The roof, the neighboring wall, anything that was underneath. It was enough to destroy them both and reduce them to their trophy forms.

Every single Klampon was either twitching in absolute pain or outright changed back to their trophy form seeking out salvation from the eerie white noise that came with their ear drums exploding. Vector himself was quite proud of his accomplishment. He should have done such a thing much earlier, would have saved him the stress and energy. Though two things distracted him from his victory, both an explosion the size of several Party Balloons worth of Bob-Ombs and the sudden sandstorm that was strangely selective toward the roof. He had a feeling Charmy was behind all of it somehow. He always was.

As for the Piranha Plants though, they began to flourish like the deadly flowers they are. Red polka dotted buds began to grow on the end of the stems meaning they were getting closer to maturity. Perfect, everything was going according to plan. Well, besides an entire section of the building being blown to bits, but that could be seen as an extra bonus. He rushed over to the side of the building, preparing to scale up the wall yet again and rejoin his teammates and probably hear an excuse from a certain bee.

[Coolshaymin]

Well.... That did not go as planned... Oh well, its not like the bee knew how to wield a sword, especially like the short Kroc. They sound like their going to both try to takedown Eyeroc. Charmy can't let that happen. That Hand Golem is the only reason he is still able to fight since Charmy probably couldn't handle being double teamed. Wait, did the wind speed just raise dramatically. Now there is sand too... Crap...

If there was one thing the bee wasn't prepared for, it was a sandstorm. Now only was it ridiculous to even begin to think that a Sandstorm could appear in the Life Sphere, but the strong winds were also a problem. Charmy was a bee, while he could use his bee senses to see, flying was another matter entirely. Charmy's speed was a little slower when it came to normal running, and it would remove the one advantage Charmy and replacing it with sight?

Either way, Charmy stopped flapping his wings and allowed himself to fall. The winds carried his light body, but he managed to land on the roof, albeit, close to a ledge. Then Charmy heard an explosion, well, that can't be good... Charmy closed his eyes and... yes! Scary Kroc was down! His partner was not very sensible, being made of stone or something, but Charmy hoped he didn't fall. Wait a second... Vector is so going to blame that on me, isn't he? The Bee thought to himself.

[Deleted]

Eyerok was determined on taking this thing down but did not think of the bombs it carried. How many bombs could this thing have? To his surprise a lot, as the area around them blew up in an eruption of fire. Both hands were blown back with force as they toppled over the building. Vector could have most likely seen them on his way up to survey the damage. After all, it's two gigantic hands falling from the sky; who's not going to see it.

Eyerok was in bad shape. His body was cracked all over and his joints in his fingers no longer had the power to move. The sand guardian had made his own demise thanks to being single minded. It tried to move its fingers upwards in an attempt to get up but it was no use. The fingers fell back onto the ground with a thud. The eyes watched through squinted eyes as the sandstorm above it was beginning to vanish as his power weakened. No Eyerok, no storm. The hands figured they could easily finish off the last kremling after he had squished it between his stone grip. Plus their was two of them so it was in the partial choatix favor. Two, three, four? How many times had the hands been defeated? They had lost count over the many years of sleep. And that's all the hands wanted to do. Now they could finally do it.

Sleep...
