The Giant robot whom appeared to own the specific portion of the base had quickly taken notice of our little protagonist here as she was satisfying her repetitive need to eat just about anything. She stared at the robot with a dumb yet innocent look on her doll face. She kept chewing on a few bits of shattered screws and scrap metal stuck in her gums as the big bot scolded her about continuously eating things she wasn't supposed to. Random musical notes flew out of her mouth in a strange trail and ventured all over the area for no reason at all. And then, the fateful moment we've all been waiting for. When she saw the glowing, yellow material in the hand of the generous robot, she simply lost her shit. Her eye balls had suddenly turned into Apollo 11 rocket ships blasting off toward the ceiling. It obviously created real sparks and a lot of smoke that covered the area. The eyes themselves would only grow back in her eye sockets, leaving anyone to guess what the hell was flying all over the place. She simply pounced the Decepticon's forearm whilst biting the cold metal with her sharp teeth. As she glued herself to the mech, she purposely widened her jaw to consume it as quickly as possible. The result: Just as it got bigger, in a quick blur, it chomped the entirety of Shockwave's forearm while the cheese magically flew in the sky. All of a sudden, the image of Hard Gay from the insane Japanese shows wearing an S&M costume warped in her magical bubble over her head. The Hard Gay manifestation tried to grab ahold of the flying cheese, but before anyone could even react to the madness that was occurring, a strange portal appeared and siphoned the cheese in it for absolutely no reason at all. Charlotte was sad, noticing that her curse was a reality and that no matter what would happen, something incredibly stupid would prevent her from eating cheese as a witch. As consolation, she devoured her friend's arm anyway, easily biting and consuming the hardest composites of the machine's member. Luckily for her, everyone knew how innocent she was, deep down. Even the worst of the baddies here.

Shockwave - Shockwave's Laboratory, SE HQ Shockwave had made a BIG mistake. He was confused once Charlotte sent sparks and smoke around the area, but before he could analyze the danger, the witch bit not only the cheese but his entire right forearm with her! The Decepticon roars in pain as he tries to shake Charlotte off him. Yet once he did though... he looks at his forearm to see that there was nothing more then a stump of wires and electricity sparks. And that gave him the horrors that happened back on Cybertron... during the war against the Autobots, when his left hand was bitten off by Grimlock! The result was that his left forearm had to be replaced with the cannon he had now. His red glowing eye brightens with horrific intensity as he aims his cannon right at Charlotte! However 10 long agonizing seconds later, he slowly discharges his cannon and calms down. He knew Charlotte quite well and had in fact been told about her insanity with cheese, but completely forgot about it over the years as their wasn't a reported "incident" in a long while. It wasn't her fault really, just the curse that was put upon her. Not to mention... how could he be mad with such a little, innocent, and most utterly adorable face? He then returns to his desk and points his head down. "Charlotte..." he then says with his rage and anger all gone, "Your lucky that my arm you just ate can be replaced." A small pause then fills the room. "Just... leave... Please." he simply says with politeness.

Of course, since the librarian had only arrived, she had no more information on what the case was other than what they were discussing right in front of her now. Certainly whoever those two were, they probably were after something, misguided or not. And if the 'misguided' case were it, then surely someone would have to give that information out, that false information. That was all that she had to share in response to them and specifically Dlanor, and internally glad that it were over. Any more of that commotion, and she wouldn't be able to read in peace within her library. The purple-haired librarian did catch the nod of another, Blake, a regular that came by to look at the various books from her library. She were one of the few individuals that had been on good and casual terms with Patchouli, and that was a rare thing to see in her.

"Ha! I'd say you fought rather well!" Gilgamesh complimented Nono, "Perhaps not quite on my level, but praiseworthy, nonetheless!" The blonde woman approached, saying something that caused the warrior to laugh in an overconfident manner, "my dear, you undersell the capabilities of the great Gilgamesh! For I have fought with the most fearsome of foes, and-" Gilgamesh had now initiated one of his ego-stroking rants, now undeterred, since Enkidu was busy giving the counter girl a stare of longing, his ears drooping at the idea that no food would be prepared. Evidently, the mountains of food from earlier had done little for him. "Oooh, amazing!" Aura declared happily, making a mental note to include that thing in all calculations from here on out. The thing was likely to ruin most attempts at manipulating the girl's mind, and getting them to part would be too risky. How annoying. At that moment, a sickly young man entered the office. Effortlessly hiding the disdain she felt at being interrupted, Aura rose to her feet, a look of concern on her face, "oh dear, yes, sit down. What is the problem, sir?" she asked.

Nono, Restuarant District, Yggdrasil Shifting her attention was Saber coming up to them, Nono practically lit up at the dual praise from Gilgamesh, which didn't mean all that much beyond normal praise, and Saber, which meant quite a bit more. "Thank you Onee-sama," she replied with a bow, fortunately refraining from hugging her again. At the same time though, the delight in her eyes could not be dismissed, and the bit of hair that stuck up from her head could be seen visibly moving on it's own. At that point though, she noted that Gilgamesh had launched into that delayed rant, and while she listened at first, it was obviously full of superlatives, and she didn't feel bad tuning him out after she had gotten the gist of it. Besides, she was a robot. Multitasking was easier for her than a normal human. "Alright," she agreed with a nod, looking forward to the relaxation of eating some food with her 'older sister' after a hard bit of fighting. Well, not that her body worked like that, but they could pretend. So where Saber went, she would go too. Misaka 10032, Client World Macross Misaka kept her silence, following the instructions she had been given regarding her 'family' and the true nature of it. Considering that Marisa was an only child, finding out that Misaka had 9969 sisters, that were all clones of, would be quite the shock, all things considered and ignoring the other issues, so best not to mention it. She turned her thought processes to food, only to be interrupted by Kakine, resulting in a slight tilting of her head as she mentally contacted the Misaka Network, and by extension, the authorities of Academy City. It was a few moments before she gave an answer. "'Interreality travel to Academy City for outsiders is restricted to Very Important Person's only, so as to prevent contamination of our plane of existence,' Misaka reports after careful thought on the subject," Misaka replied. Essentially, it meant that only the people who actually mattered could get through to Academy City, outside of some sort of treaty that had yet to be negotiated. Still, she would not object, nor would kakine in all probability. That said, she looked back to Marisa before pointing behind her. "Food," she said succinctly, drawing attention to an outdoor cafe that seemed to serve a fusion of Chinese and alien cuisine, presumably from the giant Zentraedi species that they had seen. It would be good enough for her. Cinder Fall, Shadow Eternity HQ -> Her Other Secret Hideout (No Outsiders Welcome) Cinder was glad that no one approached her as she made her way from the hangar bay to one of the transporters at a steady pace, with a slight sway in her hips as she held the device she had so recently retrieved. For one, it meant she wouldn't have to develop some excuse for what the thing was and why she wasn't delivering it to one of the labs present. For the other, it meant less of a burden on....other things, and allowing her to keep greater control. With that in mind, she beelined for her destination, and as quickly arrived at it. The door slid shut as she stepped inside, allowing her a little privacy, and she used that to reach into her pocket, pulling out a flash drive. It had a variety of functions, but this was the most useful. She inserted it into the terminal and punched in the code that was required, overriding the software with an inside patch to reroute the teleporter to an alternate destination, one of her own setting. She removed the flash drive then, and hit the button. White light filled the booth, and she was gone. She emerged in an open plaza, a pavilion of picturesque stone that provided a view of everything nearby. Stepping away, she shuddered, groaned, as a fire built up inside and she shifted within. "Grrr....Haaa!" The cry heralded an explosion of fire as she lit, eyes and hair burning as she panted, her rage flying out of control now that she was alone. "Worthless beasts, thinking they can resist me. I'll show them, I'll show them all!" The cries rang in the empty air as fireball after fireball was sent flying, a good indicator as to why this plaza was empty in the first place. She was an inferno now, and the only thing to do was let it burn itself out. "Filthy beasts, always getting in my way." Those simpletons, fools. Couldn't they see her grand vision, the purpose she was striving for? They hadn't seen it in Remnant, and now they opposed her here. She was going to remake it all, save them all, and they tried to stop her every step of the way. Well, she would not allow it. The fire roared, and eventually died away, Cinder left panting as the flames departed, leaving her feeling empty. Her body shuddered, almost as if in withdrawal, and she fought to reach into her pouches, to pull out another vial of Dust. That she used with a syringe, injecting it directly into her bloodstream with a sigh. It hurt, it burned, like it had the first time, but it felt good as well. After a few minutes of the potent liquid coursing through her veins, the shuddering faded away, and she was able to sigh, regain her composure, and move on out of the plaza. The robots would take care of that. So she headed to her command center, a glance given to the ring that hung in the sky, terminating at the horizon while crossing the distance. It had been a lucky find, a result of a scouting mission for the Shadow Eternity, in a universe that had become depopulated of all life as the result of a malfunction or something. Now she had this artificial Ring, locked in a pocket dimension that only she knew how to access, to use. And it was here that she had her secret base, separate from the others, to pursue her own goals. Inside she had all sorts of goodies, collected from many worlds. Robots, exotic machines, things she needed for her plan and more. She'd always been resourceful, and this was no exception. She paced through heavily guarded rooms, research labs, past holding cells and armories, eventually arriving in her inner sanctum. It was here that she had her greatest work, now one step closer to completion. To the sealed and extra protected room she moved, through the locked doors and energy shields, to stand before her creation. A smirk took over as she looked upon it, the device that would make her vision a reality. She then glanced to the cube, the next piece she needed. Well then, one step closer," she said to no one in particular as she moved forward, and with practiced skill attached the device. It was another to drop in a cube of iron, which would be broken down and converted into energy, and the device glowed to indicate it was working. Cinder smirked all the more as her good mood rose. One step closer indeed.

Guts chewed a piece of salty shark-meats as he adjusted his iron hand, eyeing the wall of the beast's stomach. This was near where he'd entered, so that should have been the front. He steadied his oversized blade, and plunged it into the stomach lining before ripping downwards, creating a large, man-sized hole to step through, leading further inside its body. Guts waved a torch around; this area was pitch black. Immediately, insectoid faces greeted him, followed by serpentine bodies lined with a thousand bladed legs, skittering closer. Guts dropped the light and swung to the side, decapitating three. His heel dug into meat as he carried the momentum up over his head and back down in an arc, cutting a fourth in half down the center of its face. A fresh layer of gore splattered onto the berserker's face and chest, and he ran through the passages lining the Warpwhale's body, stopping only to deliver a heavy chop to whatever came near. He eventually stopped on two zeppelin sized bags, slowly inflating, and deflating, and inflating again. This was his first stop. He plunged the Dragonslayer into the side of a lung, and slowly drug it forward, his feet sliding on the greasy floor. The lungs began to inflate and deflate at a higher speed, grinding against the edge of the blade. This actually made it easier to cut, and Guts began to enjoy taking the time to walk up the length of the organ, leaving a long rip across the length. Guts' nose crinkled, and he sniffed the air, then gagged, barely keeping down his lunch. More of that wretched stench was leaking out of the fish's lungs, spurring Guts further away.

Samus Aran & Swerve - UMMA Hunter-Class Starship - Exiting Hyperspace - Entering Battle Zone In just a few minutes since they jumped into hyperspace, they finally reached the battle of the Space Station. Ships were flying wildly as the battle began to intensify with ships firing their laser batteries at each other. "Woooooah!" Swerve gasps as he makes a steep right maneuver, "This is surely one heck of a battle! Are you sure you want to do this?!" "Of course." answers a more metallic voice as Samus comes out from the back with her glorious power suit on, "It's for the sake of the UMMA." The ship zips and dodges the laser fire being thrown at them and at other friendly ships. Suddenly, Swerve spots what it appears to be the Capital Ship in the distance. "Samus!" the Autobot speaks while pointing, "I can see the main capital ship over in the distance!" "Take me over there." the bounty hunter answers bluntly. "WHAT?!" Swerve shouts with surprise, "ARE YOU NUTS?!" "TAKE ME THERE." Samus answers loudly in commanding tone. "Okokokok!" answers Swerve rapidly as he calms down, "I'll take you there, but be careful!" The ship then makes a bee-line towards the Capital ship, in which unaware to them, housed Samus' greatest nemesis. And the two will finally confront each other after several long years...

"Ah..." the girl hesitated for a moment. She wasn't about to make a customer work... especially when that customer had just saved her life along with so many others. Rubbing the back of her head nervously, she managed to make her response. "You... you don't have to! You saved my life and everyone else's..." It was only a few moments later that she realized that he was asking to be paid. Well, she wasn't in charge of that so she couldn't really make any sort of the response... and the animal eared boy? was extremely upset that there was no food available. "I... sorry, er... you'll have to go elsewhere until we can make repairs and reopen..." Saber glanced at the approaching woman, briefly. She did not appear to be an agent, and so Saber was about to addess her... before the small, hat-wearing girl landed in front of her. The girl smiled sweetly up at the older woman. "There was a dangerous attack in this location," the girl explained, "However, the attackers have been neutralized and the remaining ones were detained, so there is no risk of harm to innocent people." She turned to face the approaching boy and address his question, as Saber was growing more distracted by the second. "That is a device utilized by one of our agents. There's no need to be alarmed." Saber's focus returned to her present company. The large man was so loud, and boastful. He put Saber in mind of that figure from the Fourth War, that Rider. Without the wrongheaded ideals that man had possessed about kingship, insofar as she could tell. It was also quite clear that her praise to Nono had made the mechanical girl absolutely ecstatic, and the King of Knights simply was not sure of how to feel about that. However, it was then that the man said something that instantly drew Saber's attention. Gilgamesh. For the briefest of moments, her mind flew to him, the incredibly dangerous, arrogant first hero... and then she was relieved as the situation came back to her. Regardless of his name, it was plain that this Gilgamesh was not the same as the one she knew. He possessed the arrogance, but nothing else. Her mind was quick to return to food. She could see it, a 'Mutliversal All-You-Can-Eat' advertised further down the road. If the food was good... an endless supply was utterly ideal! Yes, Saber could feel excited deep inside of herself, there was no denying it... and she felt quite hungry. She took a step forward, before remembering that others had accompanied her and she should probably tell them she was going somewhere. "... Ah, Gintoki. We are leaving, there is a restaurant further down the road." When they arrived, the interior of the restaurant was brightly lit and crowded with those who lived in the massive tower that was Yggdrasil. The holographic menus boldly advertised that their head chef could cook anything, anything that you desired from the entire multiverse, to the utmost perfection. Marisa frowned. Damn it, it looked like she'd have to get into this Academy City place some other way. "Awww, it sounded like a really awesome place. Besides, it's not like I'd cause any damage or anything." Marisa cheerfully waved her hand, as if the idea of her causing any damage or theft was just totally ridiculous and implausible. There were many people who would have immediately protested that, but not a single one of them was around at the moment. If she could smoothtalk her way into being allowed in there, it'd be way easier than trying to find it herself! Besides, she didn't exactly plan on causing TOO much damage, right? It wasn't like she'd hurt anyone permanently! And everything would be easily prepared. Probably. She didn't know but that was likely the case. Anyway, Misaka was pointing out some food! "Heeey, that place looks pretty awesome!" she waved to her new companions as she headed over to the cafe, beckoning for them to follow. "Let's go!"

"Here here!" Cliff said, practically smacking Pious' hands with the document he'd found entirely through dumb luck, while trying to loot the place no less, and that he only superficially understood. "I'm not really sure what it says to do but it sounds important and easy. See? Says "Red Queen" right there. My genius searching skills are the best in the world! Wait didn't Wizard say something about Red Queen too?". Without waiting for an answer, he handed the soldier the document to read and crammed himself between Hampus and Arby's to look at the monitors, trying to find Hampus' discovery and failing to do so. "Hey where's the queen at?"

Ollanius Pious smiled sweetly at Clifford's blatant snubbing of him, and merely began to eavesdrop. VIPs were rarely sociable people, so a degree of care was necessary. Of course, a few dozen degrees of bluntness and physical power would be just as effective. Hampus pointed vaguely upwards in the direction of the monitor that showed the Red Queen's terminal and Research Director Simmons. "Somewhere up there... what's that you've got?" With nary a word, Hampus snatched the instructions and read them. Luckily, the size-38 bold print font was sufficient for even Hampus, being of medieval education, to read. "So... to ride over the red queen, we need to go through a looking glass, use three... terminals, and get some pawns? Then we take the pawns to a promotion chamber and make them into a queen?" Hampus sighed heavily; if they had to bring someone up to royal status, this would take forever! Ollanius, being of sound enough mind to decipher the byzantine access methods of Umbrella as read by a person with an education several centuries out of date, relayed the instructions to the platoon. "Alright, guys. We need to move through something called a 'Looking Glass', access a trio of terminals to get low-level security passes, and then use them in a 'Promotion Chamber' to authorize a high-level security pass. Then we'll use it to manually override the Queen's control, and... by the Emperor's unceasing wisdom, I don't see how we'll fit an advanced AI on a portable hard drive. We'll just have to work with that when we get there." Jack Morgan responded immediately. "Thank you for the update, Private Pious. Everyone, come back to the main hallway: we're going deeper." Ollanius Pious and Arby's Mcdonalds nodded, and began making their way back. Ollanius called out to Clifford and Hampus. "Hey, you two. We're headed deeper into the facility to carry out those instructions you found. We could use your help, assuming the deeper labs aren't as abandoned as these ones."

-Lucas- After being reassured that the bird was not an enemy invasion, Lucas sat and looked at everyone else. There was a man in insanely flamboyant clothing, who looked like a psycho clown, a pale woman with pink hair who looked... almost human, but something seemed off. Then there was the blonde woman, and... another blonde girl, who looked a bit younger, as well as... another blonde woman, in a black armor-like suit. Was this the capitol for blondes? There were a few others as well, but those were the first that Lucas saw. "... I'll go, too," Lucas said, and he waited for the others to get ready. "Oh, I'm Lucas, by the way," he said, looking at the group.

Gintoki turned as he heard Saber calling him and stood straight up on his feet as she announced her restaurant of choice. "All you can eat? Ah, why not? I'll come and check it out." he said, following the pair of girls (and the other group of miscellaneous weirdos, himself not included) to the place. The advertisements of self-superiority made him laugh a little before he turned to Saber. She didn't seem to be drooling over the choices quite yet, which meant now was probably a good time to speak. "So should we be grabbing a seat somewhere or...?" Kakine looked at Marisa skeptically as she spoke of her intentions of not doing damage. Even mentioning such a thing without any prior statements about destruction of property and whatnot probably meant the girl had a penchant for that sort of thing. But that was a different matter on its own; filling their stomachs took priority until they could return back home. "I guess we'll head there, then." he stated, calmly following the two girls as they walked into the building. Though he would have preferred something a bit more... Normal, so to speak, exotic dishes weren't all that bad. The only problem here was that he had absolutely zero clue as to what kind of food it would end up being. He was probably much too cautious, but they were strangers in a strange land; it was to be expected.

At last, after a long period of time, they had finally arrived at their destination: a digsite with no people working on the digsite. Fantastic, and all to retrieve some old coffin. Senbonzakura didn't really see the point of it when he was looking at the picture, but that was something for the eggheads to figure out. Going down it, though, it seemed like Senbonzakura might have to change his mind. Down there were quite a few people, including in the coffin itself. "Hold it right there," Senbonzakura said to them. "I am an officer given the mission to retrieve this coffin and any of its contents. Do not attempt to hinder the mission." Senbonzakura hoped that they would do as he said and not interfere, as his mission included a minimal loss of life requirement, but he would fight them if he had to.

In her despair, she didn't pay too much attention to Shockwave's pain as she accidentally devoured his entire forearm in the hopes of finally getting the coveted cheese. It was only when he'd point his canons at her that the little creature known as Charlotte stared back at him, tears running out of her eyes. She didn't seem to grasp what her colleague was doing, as if she was convinced they were the good guys and they would never do bad things to each other. A few seconds later, Shockwave lowered his weapon and simply ordered Charlotte to leave, something that actualy caught her utmost attention for once. She tilted her head as she stared into his single-eyed screen thing that served as a face. She took a moment to connect the facts together and finally understand that the robot was upset about her eating his arm, something Charlotte was barely sensitive about until now. Though instead of leaving like the average Joe, she'd turn to the left and reach out from a stocked mechanical part. Pulling it out of the shelf with both her hands, she dragged it to the maimed robot and set it before him. She smiled as if she was sure this would be enough as a consolation. "Here you go, all fixed!" They went down like flies. All the GFS troops fast enough to reach the docking bay on time were either sliced in half the instant they entered the playing field by Ridley's jagged tail, or they were roasted by his flame breath. This was somewhat easy, and he grew bored of waiting for the real threats. He was perfectly conscious that both the GFS and the UMMA wouldn't let this go on much longer and a powerful agent would be sent after him and his crew. In his despair he found something that even he wasn't expecting here of all places. His sensors picked up a rather strange spike in energy, something oh so familiar that he already had guesses as to what it may be. He peered over at the dock's exit and noticed a particular ship sailing among the others. Just a glimpse of it made the adrenaline in his blood rush. He knew it was her, the Hunter he so despised. Propelling himself as he connected the dots in his mind, his flight was swift enough to have himself collide against Samus' new UMMA-esque ship. He clawed himself against the small ship in hopes to de-stabilize it and have the Hunter run out and have their face off on the Mothership's bridge. However his sensors also picked up another big power source, one similar to Blackout's and Shockwave's from his faction. Was it really another one of those bots? Either way, he continuously assaulted the ship in various angles with his teeth and tail until it would forcibly land somewhere decent enough to engage in a real fight.

Privates Pious and Mcdonalds headed back to the main hallway, with Hampus and Clifford in tow. Once there, they rendezvoused with the rest of the team. The only room they had left to explore was the one at the far end of the main hall. It was quite a door, taking up the entire wall and being coated in alarming yellow-and-black stripes. Whatever was behind this door was certainly important. Though the door was clearly supposed to be well-guarded, it had no security systems whatsoever. Merely stepping forward was sufficient for it to open. With an ominous rush of air, the door opened, rising upwards into the topmost part of the frame. Through the doorway, nothing could be seen but a cargo elevator surrounded by blank concrete walls. Unusually, the elevator's bottom seemed to largely consist of metal grilles, allowing one to see down to the bottom of the elevator shaft. Cautiously, the team piled onto the elevator, and began their descent. A loud screeching and grinding noise filled the area as the elevator slowly made its way downwards.

Guts - Leviathan Belly, The Warp Guts tread along a branch of nerves leading to a vast, dome shaped cavern. Along the ground, electric sparks illuminated narrow valleys lining the surface of a subtly firm material, almost feeling like clay. Guts knew from many split skulls what this was, and wasted no time in chopping downward, slamming his blade into the squishy brainflesh with zeal. Immediately, volts of energy raced up the iron and into his arms. Even as smoke started to plume out from between them, Guts grit his teeth and created another chop. Lightning crackled around the entire brain, and surged up through Guts' body. The Black Swordsman let out a bestial roar as the panel on his chest lit up, supercharging the battery until the skull pauldrons exploded. A field wrapped around his body and expanded, growing far beyond the normal limit, and engulfing part of the Warpwhale. With a crackle of electricity, the front half disappeared, leaving only a gargantuan, disembodied tail of meat and gore and unrecognizable parts floating in the Warp. Guts - Konoha The front half of a gargantuan space whale materialized in the sky, its entrails floating behind like a flag, if flags were made of loose intestines. Gore splattered like rain, painting buildings as the beast descended with increasing speed, until it slammed into the face of a giant woman's face carved from stone, spreading meat and gristle across the memorial. Even while alive the beast smelled of rot; now it truly reeked of death and decay. From the outside, its body was more clearly made of a substance that could be called meat, but harsher, not of this world. Though its shape was similar to some earthly beast, it was far larger, with too many eyes, too many teeth, and jagged spikes of bloodied bone protruding at odd angles. The beast's body gave off a spasm; its jaws snapped, and its head fell sideways, smacking against the ground, crushing several buildings. An eye, a little taller than a man, stared into the emptied streets. It quivered a little, then rocketed forth as it was kicked out from its cavity from the inside, trailing a layer of slime. Guts emerged; plumes of smoke trailed off from fresh burn wounds, and blood trickled out from his ears, nose, mouth, and good eye. The Black Swordsman wrapped his cape around his shoulders, and walked past the crowds running forward to examine the damage, his feet crunching on broken glass and dirt.

Arragoz Plizgin - Muthership's Ventz/Enjin Room "I'z goin as fast as I can, Boss, ya kan't rush purfeck'shun." Arragoz responded to the cyborg-space-dragon's urging to hurry it up with a brief whisper into the communicator, making his way through the vents as he did so. Conveniently, these ones were a tad less rickety than the ones back at Shadoo Foreva's base, muffling the noise somewhat. Luckily, the humies were far too focused on the seemingly more immediate threat of Ridley to take note of what noise did manage to result from the sneakin' of Arragoz and his crew. This would undoubtedly prove to be their downfall. Upon being informed that one of his humie companions was planting firey bombs in da vents, Arragoz quickly voiced his approval. "I like da way you'z fink, humie. We'z can save dose fer our 'taktikul ruhtreet.'" After all, setting things on fire had a tendency to serve as an excellent distraction, especially if one of the humies got themselves ignited. Just like the Burna Boyz said, watching gits 'do the burny dance' always made for a good larf. After roughly a minute or so of travelling through the vents, Arragoz finally found himself looking down through a grate at one of the vessel's three engine rooms. Due to the crisis at hand, the room was lightly guarded, with a mere two marines standing watch. The greenskin needed to take them out swiftly and silently, which meant he'd have to deploy one of the less flashy bombs in his arsenal. The Ork carefully lifted the grate up into the vent, while his other hand reached for a Smokey Stikkbomb. Following the standard Ork routine of 'hold on to da pin, throw da uvver part,' Arragoz dropped the armed explosive into the engine room, startling the humies down below. With but a brief delay, the bomb detonated, covering a significant portion of the engine room in a thick, purple haze of smoke. Almost simultaneously, the Ork made his entrance, and despite tumbling out of the vent, inexplicably landed on his feet. As their vision was obscured by the smoke, the marines were hesitant to open fire, lest they accidentally strike the engine or each other. (Un)fortunately for them, Arragoz proceeded to make it very clear to them where he was, by way of lightly tapping on their shoulders. Quickly turning around in response, the marines were treated to a brief glimpse of the Orkoid's hulking form, promptly followed by the greenskin granting each of them a closer look at his fists. When the smoke finally cleared, any observers would see the greenskin standing over the two incapacitated marines, motioning for his humie companions to join him.

Shockwave - Shockwave's Laboratory, SE HQ Shockwave put his head down as he prepares to get his arm replaced. Suddenly, he sees a grey, colorless arm placed right in front of him. He realized that Charlotte wanted to help him and actually chuckled silently to himself. She really wasn't that bad after all. "Thank you..." Shockwave replies to Charlotte as he begins fiddling with it around with his cannon arm, "But the arm will need to be surgically put on before I can~" But before he could finish, his cannon accidentally knocked over a jar filled with a mysterious silver element labeled... Transformium. The element was then poured right onto the arm and seemed to have done nothing but ruin the arm. Shockwave sighs to himself as he begins to try to wipe off the element. But what he saw next, would revolutionize modern Cybertronian technology forever. The transformium was still as can be when suddenly it dissolves into a liquid state. It then covers the whole arm in the blink of an eye. Soon, the element had gained what appeared to be wires as they flail around rapidly. Then they sensed the presence of Shockwave's missing arm and their wires then lashed out to connect with his broken wires, as if it had a mind of its own! Once they attached themselves to the wires, the whole arm began to retract towards his shoulder, locking it in place. Remarkably it then began to mold into the exact same arm that Shockwave had before it got eaten by Charlotte, only more polished and clean. Even the color was replaced! If Shockwave had a mouth, his jaw would've dropped 10 stories! Clearly this couldn't be happening. Back in his universe, Transformium was indeed an important part of a transformer's body. In fact, it was the only element that could allow a transformer to have the ability to transform. All you needed to do was put just a bit inside the T-Cog and it will allow the robot to transform for several thousand years. Yet never had it had the ability to actually move on its own, or able to repair broken parts, or to painlessly attach to the user's arm (though it would feel kinda funny), or nor would it even have the ability to copy the user's missing limb! How could this be happening? Yet he then realized something. The transformium he had in the jar was NOT his local universe's version. This was transformium that was found in this universe. It was indeed a lot stronger and better then the one he was used too. Now no Transformer would have to wait a long time for their arm to be surgically replaced. Even in the field of battle it would be simple as 1 2 3! This was revolutionary science! Shockwave then looks at Charlotte in total surprise. "Congratulations Charlotte." he says, "You have unintentionally found a revolutionary science that will save countless of transformers lives. You should be honored." Samus Aran & Swerve - UMMA Hunter-Class Starship - Battle Zone - Approaching GFS Mothership The ship begins to move quickly towards the Mothership, when suddenly Swerve spots an Unidentified creature heading straight towards them at an incredible speed. "Uhhhh Samus?" he asks with a worried face as he points to where the thing is coming from, "What is that?" As Samus was just about to look, the whole ship shook violently by an incoming object that hit them! Both characters almost lost balance but still kept their footing. "What was that?" Samus asks with barely any worry as she looks around. Then both can feel that something big was crawling around the ship that also made several more blows. Suddenly, the Bounty Hunter can see a metallic spear-tail wagging just at the corner of the windshield. Her eyes grew large as she immediately knew who she was facing. Her age-old nemesis had finally shown himself once again. "RIDLEY..." she says to herself with a growl, "You cold-blooded bastard..." "WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Swerve panics as he tries to stabilize the ship's course. "Head towards the ship's bridge." Samus says, ignoring the Autobot's question, "I got a score to settle." Without saying a word, Swerve pilots the ship towards the ship's bridge and as soon as they got close, Samus issued out a command. "OPEN THE TOP HATCH!" she yells as she begins charging up a glowing blue ball of plasma. "RIGHT!" the Autobot replies in a panic as he presses the button that opens up the top hatch. Soon the ship jerks towards the Mothership's Bridge and with a mighty leap Samus Aran jumps out. "RIIIIIIIIDDDDLEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!" screams Samus as she knocks her full weight into Ridley's chest, her gun pointing and touching his metallic armor and fires her plasma ray right into his chest, both breaking into the Bridge of the ship.

The robot seemed to have calmed down upon seeing Charlotte's reaction. She didn't really notice how bad things could have been if Shockwave wouldn't be able to glue his arm back on. Luckily for everyone, he wasn't some basic organic being who wouldn't be able to regrow limbs as easily as a fixable robot. As the jar containing the liquid substance fell, the image of Godzilla (lol) smoking weed while lying on a building took form right over her head for a brief second. She did not give a single fuck as to what the container held. While Shockwave totally got hot over the bizarre liquid's manifestation when confronted to the bot's body, Charlotte could only think about one thing: What it tasted like. While Decepticon took his time to examine the effects of the liquid and congratulate Charlotte on her "discovery", the witch's overgrown tongue stuck out and sucked the remaining puddle of liquid scattered around. As she consumed the material, her eyes turned into swirling patterns as if she was tripping serious balls. "Waaaaahhhh... Roboman! E equals MC square! I saveeeeed the world!" Wailed the little critter as the transformium acted as a form of drug to her. As usual, nothing was lethal to her nor very efficient on her being, but given the specificity of the product she consumed and how stronger is was than its common counterpart, it wouldn't be a surprise that it would even have wild effects on her. While she obviously seemed disoriented, her gait was just as bad, as she walked around the small lab whilst tipping over any small item she'd come across while riding the tables. "Ciiiiinnnnder! I waaaaaaant my cheeeeeeeeeeeese from the cheeesemaaaaaker we stooole at the planet *hic*" She screamed out of blue, but apparently the little mic on her ear had been activated as she talked this time. She was contacting her colleague in hopes of having the promised cheese maker. However as she shouted her thoughts Shockwave could easily pry into her little fit of madness and acknowledge the things she wasn't suppose to say in the first place. There it was, that moment Ridley was dying to seize for himself, another chance to finally finish off the hunter who plagued his plans for multiple years now. Whether it was him or a cheap clone of himself, he could never emerge victorious against her, but now it was finally the time to settle some scores, after all the Multiverse would most likely have more beneficial effects for him. As the Hunter hopped out of her ship and tackled Ridley head on, the Cybernetic Dragon couldn't help but screech in anger in response to their very first contact. Though the Hunter would be greeted with such anger, she'd also be forced with a enjoyable welcome from Ridley's tail as it wrapped around her ankle while she attempted to shoot him. Destabilized, she was lifted up high as Ridley then tossed her onto the Mothership's bridge. Ridley had then abandoned the ship he as assaulting in order to prioritize the annihilation of his nemesis, leaving behind the other life form who was accompanying her. His tail remained wrapped around her ankle and he would kindly play around with her body as she would try to get up and attempt a steady shot on him. He'd lift up and them stomp on down on the steel hull. He liked to play with his food, and his fetish for grazing Samus' armor against walls was great proof of that as well. He knew full well, however, that her power suit would need much more efficient hits and a lot of damage for it to crumble. "It has been a while, Hunter. It appears we are destined to endlessly fight each other no matter what space and time would impose on our fates." "Arragoz. You have a little more time. Use to to make sure everything's alright. When you're done, I'm expecting you near my location." He had quickly briefed his colleague as Ridley's GPS location was marked on Faures' map which was later given to Arragoz. The creature's glare was powerful and expressed murderous intent. He didn't expect his little tail bind would last much longer with someone of Samus' caliber, but he would enjoy every second of the torture he'd set upon her. The nearby ships had stopped shooting as they took into account their ally, Samus, and wouldn't risk shooting her during the little confrontation. Behind Ridley's intimidating being, both of his future adversaries could see the huge, glowing blue orb that was the new planet Phaaze. The existence of that thing would more than likely peek some interests in the group. This fight was going to be a good one. Arragoz was leading everything as planned, and he seemed to be a good adept of stealth approaches despite his brute-like appearance. When the creature had cleared the area with his unconventional weaponry and enormous strength, the three team members hopped in and insured the complete security of the room. The two foot soldiers patrolled multiple times to check every detail of the area while Faures immediately hopped into a computer and accessed its multiple control panels. As he clicked a few keys, small switches on the main engines turned red and each had their ventilation forcibly opened. The plan was for Arragoz to plant his specialized explosives on there for maximum damage and immediate destruction of the entirety of the ship's prime functionality. "Ey' Boss. We need to fill these bitches with your stuff and get off this rig." Announced Faures right before a small alarm occurred. Though Faures didn't really do anything against protocol, it appears the GFS soldiers had likely taken notice of their presence due to some heart monitors being turned off. Sure a lot of the marines were dying fairly quickly and in masses against Ridley, but those in sensitive patrol location were likely monitored. Their pulse being too low because of their unconscious state, a squad was sent toward them. Faures jumped on the emergency lock switch next to the room's only entrance if we didn't count the multiple air locks. He then had himself and the two other soldiers take position behind metal pillars and small foundations in order to prepare for a firefight. A strong dozen of them were coming and they wouldn't take too long to take down the door. "Boss! They're onto us! We gotta haul ass real quick!"

Takahara sat at the table, patting a Kuro footsoldier on the back as the mook sobbed into his Darkness-Brand Soda. The fellow mook had spent a good while explaining the recent fall of the Shadow Line, and how most of their rails were torn up and ruined by the Rainbow Line. "Man... that's pretty rough. I know it always sucks finding a new job after an employer goes under. I've had to do it enough." "Kuro. Kuro... kuro." Of course there was a wife and kid to feed. There always was. For some reason, a lot of people- especially "protagonists"- seemed to think that mooks had no life outside the organization. That was seldom true. Takahara sighed. "Look, I'll put in a call. I've got a friend who works at Florsheim. They've been thinking about expanding into train production, you'd be perfect for that. How long have you worked with the Shadow Line?" "Kuro." "Yeah, they'll be all over you. Experience is a really big deal to Count Vamp. He's got a habit of hiring monsters and cyborgs after the companies go under. Just be sure to read up." Takahara reached into the magazine rack provided for waiting customers, handing the Kuro a copy of the Florsheim company magazine. The company's employees often came here, and were generally the one exception to the "no bosses" rule- Count Vamp was surprisingly calm about the lax atmosphere of Freddy's. The Kuro left to read up with a few other members of the group as Takahara finally got his pizza. Really, it was surprising just how much he had to eat to fuel the cybernetics Shocker put into him as a combatman. Now THOSE were some good times. He took a slice of the pepperoni and began dialing his communicator. After the pickup, Takahara carried on the conversation in Japanese- after all, Florsheim was based out of Japan. "Good evening, this is Sentou Takahara. Oh, hey Muscle Mammoth. Got you working reception this week? Yeah, I hear you, Summer's a busy time of year in our line of work. Listen, I was wondering if I could talk with Vamp about getting some friends a job. Yeah, another employer's gone under. Yes, the Shadow Line this time. That reminds me, did you patch things up with Sunred? Ah, good to hear! Oh, right, the Kuros. Yeah. Yeah. No, not Shadow Monsters, just the footsoldiers. Yeah. Fifteen years of working on railroads, he says. Six o'clock tomorrow? Yeah, I'll tell him to make the call. Oh, let Armor Tiger know one of the Hydra boys is aiming for his high score on Galaga! Later!" After a brief, pleasant chat with the Florsheim receptionist, Takahara set to work on something pressing: Devouring a greasy extra-large pizza.

Shockwave - Shockwave's Lab, SE HQ (I laughed so hard when you said Goji was smokin' weed everydaaaaaay!) As soon as Shockwave finished congratulating Charlotte on the discovery, she then managed to TASTE the Transformium. Her reaction towards the element was rather... interesting. It seemed as if the transforium had some weird drug that tasting it would result the user to go trippin' balls! She then began tripping all over the place, knocking down materials from the shelves and tables. Shockwave was utterly displeased at Charlotte's actions. He swiftly grasps her with his new hand and begins walking to the entrance of his lab. Once he reaches the entrance of the lab, he places her out and quickly shuts the door to his lab, with an extra wall for good measure. He then slowly walks back to his lab and looks at all the damage Charlotte had done. "I find bringing her inside... illogical." he sighs in slight embarrassment as he begins to clean up, "Never will she enter my lab again." He then looks at the spilled jar of Transformium. "I should also logically dispose of that element as soon as possible." Samus Aran - GFS Mothership Over Phaaze Samus thought that she had the upper-hand in this fight, until she felt a tail wrap around her ankle. "Shit!" she says to herself as she was thrown right into the Mothership's bridge, smashing through the windshield at great force. She tries to get a steady shot on him, but was then being thrown like a rag-doll under his whipping tail. After Ridley said his first lines in battle, Samus grunts as she finally finds a bypass in which she began shooting at Ridley with her plasma cannon, hitting his nemesis multiple times. She then manages to free herself from Ridley's tail and skids across the Bridge as she comes to a grinding halt. She breathes heavily as she regains her footing. "Even if we will be soul enemies till' the end of time, weather in this universe or the next, I will always find a way to defeat your reign of terror." she says as she begins charging her gun, "I've always had. If I'll have to defeat you for the nth time... so be it!" Soon, her gun was fully charged as she shoots an intense ball of blue plasma heading towards her nemesis and blinding speed, making a direct hit on him.
