Level 11 Blazermate (Holding 2 level up) - (55/110)

Blazermate saw Poppi trying to understand what she meant. Yeah, from the way Poppi was acting, in her world machines couldn't do as much as humans or something. Maybe it was harder for them to do magic? This must've been some culture shock for her then. Susie noticed this too, but didn't really have any grip on who Poppi was unlike Blazermate. This ruminating was cut short when someone who wore the same outfit as a G-man, but was completely robotic... Or Susie saw being completely cybernetic, stepped on the bus. Poppi and Tora looked at the stranger with unease, Poppi pulling out her blade stealthily in case things went south.

Much to Tora's relief, the man simply patted the fluff ball on the head and sat down. Blazermate got a good look at the Claw, noting that if they were to fight it, it would be one sturdy fellow almost on par with the big koopa king himself. The weak points, the canisters on its body, in clear view of everyone and not even being hidden at all. It was as if it was begging something to fight it in a way, quite strange. Susie meanwhile looked at the cyberntics and while not on par with what she could do, it was interesting. A bit too rough, but at least it looked durable.

The rest of the bus ride wasn't all that eventful, with the group having made it to the train station ahead of all the others. Tora and Poppi chatted to themselves as Susie did more exchanges remotely on the grand exchange, having made quite a tidy sum at this time playing that market and Blazermate pulled out a rag to clean herself. It took about 10 minutes before the rest of the team dropped in and the group was given the ability to follow Giovanna. They discussed what they'd do next with Blazermate asking "The red shift corruption isn't curable? How can that be? Everything has a cure." Well, she'd stay out of those corruption clouds either way, but yeah, something incurable that affected robots as well? Not fun.

Figuring they'd have to find some kind of detector, the group made their way to a construction site through some bizarre rooftop geometry where the workers below worked their jobs in relative peace. At least until some gang member looking fellows appeared and started causing chaos, the invaders slaughtering all they could get their hands on. "Savages such as those should be taught some manners." Susie said, calling her business suit. She then said. "If one of you could be so kind as to charge my suit with some elemental energy?" Blazermate meanwhile did what she could to identify the weak points of these things as she overhealed everyone and got ready to fight, building up what charge she could.

Much like her, some of the others decided to focus on the minions. Nadia and Theron focusing on the minions as well as Sectonia. Nadia seeming to have issues trying out a new combat style she wasn't used to trying to keep distance from these horrific monsters and Theron going into them like a melee fighter does. Sectonia meanwhile decided instead to hold her swords out as she summoned her large rings of light and threw them about the arena, noticing that the arena wasn't all that large at the end of the day. At this point Sectonia was getting a bit annoyed at the random properties of her projectile attacks that weren't her lightning, but at least the size of this room made it so it didn't matter that much with her light rings as they were fired in triplicate thanks to her item, and their massive size made them incredibly difficult to dodge in such a confined area, even if Sectonia herself could only aim them generally.

This added to the chaos of the fight as her antillions did what they could to the brawlers and cultists that appeared, blasting electricity or ice at them. Thanks to the item the queen had gotten earlier, they weren't the walking minor damage distraction they were before, instead they were doing some sensible damage. That item didn't make them all that much more durable though, but before they were destroyed by the brawlers and their allies they could put down a fair bit of hurt or freeze a couple of them totally solid.

Causing chaos on the battlefield (Which her allies were immune to), also caught the attention of enemies that weren't actively engaged. Notably a group of cultists who had just been summoned by a couple bits of flesh coming out of doors that Sectonia's light rings had nearly hit, but before hitting them the rings had boomeranged back at the Queen, doing her no harm, but missing those cultists and getting their attention. And with this attention came the tentacles summoned by the cultists, lashing at and pulling the queen from her little spot at the edge of the room towards the center. This also grabbed her attention, as the tentacles ripping into her and causing a bit of bleeding was hard to miss.

Unfortunately for those cultists, having her undivided attention instead of having her cause random chaos meant she blinked over to them and rapidly slashed at them with her swords, dealing with their squishy selves in due order, but not before they got another hit off. With them being dispatched, Sectonia noted that they didn't hurt as much as some other things, but they left behind some residual thing... It made her angrier at the whole situation she was in here. Like she was getting overly frustrated at this whole fight. But she was already disgusted and filled with righteous rage at dealing with these abominations... It was nothing... probably... maybe...

"This fight wont end if we all focus on the minions." Sectonia said, giving the hint that some others should deal with the giant above. Yes, Sectonia's light rings often clipped Mom just due to their sheer size but that was a residual thing. If nothing else, that would eventually cut her down if she was taking damage, but the faster this giant was defeated, the faster this could all be over.

Sectonia DID want to view what a boss fight was in this place. If the horrid miniosn were anything, the leader of these minions must be truly grotesque. And that seemed to be the case as the room was covered in various archways, cobwebs, and a dark ceiling. And as if the room itself was an illusion, when everyone had gotten in the room, a deep, horrid sound could be heard as bits and pieces of a monster appeared from the archways deploying its minions in such horrid, grotesque ways by making its own flesh explode. And those minions, while different from what they had seen before, were still grotesque themselves. And this show of body horror made Sectonia very, very mad.

"This is the leader of these grotesque monsters? Show it no mercy my minions!" Sectonia said, casting her Haste on everyone as they were all grouped together. She was hesitant to cast it on Ganondorf, but she could revoke it at any time if the gerudo king tried anything and was too mad at the horrid creatures in front of her to care. Just then a mighty foot came down out of the darkness at the group, Sectonia blinking away to safety so she could begin to summon her own minions, her now supercharged antillions getting to work throwing their elemental magics at the minions summoned by Mom.

Looking over the battle, Sectonia had to figure out what to do herself. Considering the hit and run nature of this creature, she figured she should handle the grotesque minions herself while the more agile members dealt with the giant in the sky and the grotesque body parts moving through the walls. Handing off her Chaos Shield to one of the less durable minions of hers, Jesse for the time being, Sectonia got to work throwing large rings of light or stabbing the minions around the room with her swords. Sometimes occasionally her splash damage would hit Mom, but she was targeting the minions first and foremost.

Exiting the item room sounds of combat could be heard outside the door to the north, so Sectonia figured another group had entered the room that door lead to and were dealing with the monsters inside. Still, this room had its own monsters for her to deal with in a wide open room that looked like some dark alchemist crypt.

Inside the room were 6 masks and heart pairs. While the masks ran at Sectonia in lateral directions, the hearts seemed to flee from her in the same manner. She tried throwing some of her dark globules at the masks advancing towards her position, but soon found they just bounced off. So much for 'pierces all defense', but then the hearts themselves were trying to stay away and out of conflict entirely, so perhaps they were the monster's true form and this was merely a shield?

Considering her ability to blink, reaching the hearts and staying out of range of the masks wasn't that difficult. Summoning her Chaos shield, she began to blink about the room. While there were quite a few things flying about the room and her large size forced her to blink more often than she'd like, the hearts took damage normally from her strikes. Sticking to her swords only, as they allowed her to utilize her blink in a much more timely manner and still strike afterwords. Sectonia had a bit of enjoyment fighting these things as the hearts just tried to flee from her feebily shooting out blood globules in random directions around it, unable to fight back that well as she slashed at them with a mighty overhead swing before blinking to the next heart. While it took a couple rotations of this blinking maeuvor, her striking heart after heart, when she managed to destroy the first heart the corresponding mask also blew up. With fewer and fewer masks, the battle got easier and easier. And thanks to her shield, the odd blood globule that hit her had its damage greatly reduced, but considering the hearts couldn't even aim their globules of panic, she was able to avoid them for the most part.

While the others were clearing the room to the north, Sectonia managed to clear this room herself, having a skillset that let her dominate the creatures inside it. Upon clearing the room, a strange symbol in red appeared in the center of the room. Sectonia, ever weary of new things in this dungeon, looked at it with her magical ability, and found that it might've been something she'd be interested in if it didn't have strings attached. She sensed whoever grabbed this item would gain power, but power granted to them by another instead of by the item itself. A dangerous prospect in general, but even more so in this horror filled dungeon full of disgusting monsters of filth, decay, and death. Making a pact would give her pause normally, but making a pact with whatever might've ran this dungeon? A fools decision; She'd much rather take the power at its source.

When the team clearing the rooms to the north finished clearing their rooms and entered what would be their 4th room, they'd see Sectonia, the queen saying. "This place is quite strange and has secrets left behind. I am not interested in 'that', but if any of you are, feel free to take it. Beware, it seems to be connected to something. Or feel free to take the weird rotten fruit in the 'golden room'" Sectonia said, pointing at the Boon of Ares, then the item room itself. She then joined up with the rest of the party, commanding her antillion to come back to her through the cleared rooms and crushing the spirits she had gotten from the rooms she cleared.

Hm... she didn't see the shop on this floor, perhaps it was behind her? Those seemed to have more... manageable items than whatever that red symbol or rotten fruit behind her was.


Level 11 Blazermate (Holding 2 level up) - (54/110)
Level 4 Susie - (18/40) - (Holding 1 level up)

Blazermate agreed with Tora when it came to not getting into unnecessary robattles, Tora defiantly telling her that Poppi was the only partner for her, with Poppi stating the obvious of Tora's wandering eyes on other ladies that weren't Blazermate or Susie. "Sure, sure, but just letting you know. More for me than you as it looks like this is more akin to where I came from than what the world has been for the past week." Blazermate said, shrugging. "At least the medabot rules say I can attack humans if they attack me. They had to make that rule after some idiots called the Rubberobo gang caused tons of chaos. If you see people in black rubber full body suits with sci-fi alien looking horns on their heads, thats them. They are goofy, but thuggish." Susie meanwhile watched the whole thing with Poppi and Tora and gave a slight giggle, noting Tora acted a lot like a teenage boy.

Tora then remembered what Blazermate said back at the junk depot, and decided they should all investigate that again to find some answers to what was a really, really good question. With the four back at the junkyard, Susie, Poppi, and Blazermate scouted for an android to inspect, which didn't take long as they all found one that was mostly intact under some rubble. Thanks to all the subtle robotic muscle in the group, they exhumed the body which quickly got up and tried to speak some words of warning to Blazermate, holding onto her for dear life before it was cut down by Poppi. Blazermate was right, these robots were zombies! She got up in a guarded pose with her shield ready as Tora apologized for the altercation that just happened and got to work ripping apart the android.

Upon seeing exactly what Tora was working with, Susie remarked. "Quite ghoulish work. Making a robot so identical to organic life would lead to that though." with Blazermate trying to get the flecks of robot blood off of her face letting out spitting and spluttering sounds even though she had no mouth for the blood to get into. "Seriously why would someone do that unless they had no idea how to make a proper robot." Blazermate said. Medabots didn't have any blood or liquid inside of them as they didn't need it, besides nanobots perhaps. After digging around for a little while, Tora found the core of the robot, holding a card like black box object.

Blazermate looked at it, a bit confused but soon figured out what it was when Susie said. "So the core of these androids is a black box?" Poppi then grabbed the device after taking pictures of it to take a look at it with Tora guessing that the robot's spirit resided inside of it. After flpping it around a bit in her hands and giving it back to Tora, Susie noticed something with the card looking black box object and said. "Whats that rainbow crack inside of it?" Curious, Susie tried to get the item from Tora, but when Tora gave it to Susie, the card finally broke entirely, causing the body it was attached to and the card itself to turn into spiritual dust, with the robot's spirit left behind.

Upon seeing this, there was a bit of a complex emotion on Blazermate's face as if she was both terrified, and relieved at seeing what had just happened. Susie meanwhile was in the same thinking process as Tora and Poppi. "Well, it seems that, indeed, the robotic spirits are inside these cards. Although it didn't seem strong enough to be a processor or power supply, which is interesting." Susie then heard as Tora and Poppi mentioned some 'cyberlife' thing, and his idea that whoever made these robots was aware of spirits. Susie thought for a bit as Tora wanted to go to the headquarters, while Poppi told him they had no idea where it was, and came up with some idea. "Before you killed it, it mentioned something about "find Jerico"? Is that its owner, its creator, or something else entirely?"

Blazermate meanwhile held her head in her hands for a little bit as she thought, saying. "I guess that might explain one of my worries here, but we'd best find an actual medabot to do this same thing to before I know for sure..." mumbling something about that being that robot's medal and how fragile it was.

A few streets over, a protest against androids was being held. Protesters holding and chanting slogans which Susie quickly recognized were people without jobs, having their jobs taken by androids and these people not at all happy. Susie mulled over if she could hire these people right now, but without the Access Ark or her facilities to turn them into cyborgs under her company's command, there wasn't much reason to. Nor did she have a real working business in the area, so there wasn't much she could do. She did keep a note of this unrest as it could be useful later however.

Blazermate wasn't as naive as Poppi was about this whole situation either; there were medabot haters in her world as well but they were far fewer since very, very few medabots worked alone. After all, a medabot often needed a rare medal to even disobey humans that weren't outright hostile to it. Still, she hadn't ever seen it this bad before, but then no robot in her world looked as human as the ones here did. Speaking of a human looking robot, one was moving around the crowd and G Men in order to make it to a bus stop. Curious, Tora moved to talk to it, with Blazermate and Susie following since there really wasn't anything better to do.

It seemed this android was a wealth of information that they had been looking for, even more so for Susie than Blazermate. Blazermate learned that this was exactly like her old home, although with the ID LED stuff instead of medawatches and all that. As long as she said she was on an errand she could move about freely, which was always a fun excuse. Susie meanwhile caught onto something extra; robots here weren't known to lie or steal as their maker, cyberlife, made it impossible for them to do so. Something she could very, very easily take advantage of as that was the bread and butter of the business world. Soon after the bus came and picked up everyone waiting there, Susie and Blazermate needing to sit in the 'android reserved' zone where they just stood while Tora could sit down. Blazermate was used to standing, even if she enjoyed sitting down, while Susie was a bit irritated, but took the time to think about all the things she could take advantage of here. But at least unlike Poppi, the two robot girls didn't look sad, as if this was the first time Poppi had ran into something like this.

"Hey Poppi, is this your first time running into robo haters?" Blazermate said, curious. Susie wondered this too, although she wasn't as concerned as Blazermate as she was already thinking about what business to take over and fold into her own. "This is a bit more extreme than I'm used to, but its mostly standard, I guess its different where your from huh?"

Sectonia was impressed that little skull helmed bug knight soloed the boss of this floor, when her and the others managed to get there. Seeing as he managed to defeat the boss, it only made sense for him to get the reward which seemed to be some blue cloths that covered up the dark parts of his body in the same color. What that outfit gave, Sectonia could only guess at, but it seems defensive in nature. Still, she couldn't help but echo the sentiment that he looked cute in that outfit.

There was an additional door that lead to another, much more sinister looking room. Inside was a demon sitting on a stone throne with an item pedestal containing an item with an evil red face, the cost of the item being a 'heart', which Sectonia guessed was life force seeing as this was incredibly demonic looking. Seeing as there was nothing left, Sectonia went down to the next floor, having no interest to spill her royal blood for something so ugly.

The next floor in these depths had the stench of the long dead about it. If she had to rate the smell, she'd say it was getting better as they went down, but not by much. She was tired of this place, and as the others debated which way and where they'd go, she decided to start clearing some rooms on her own. She decided to go right first, entering a room filled with 6 rolling organs (Guts), and a giant mass of organs (Mama Guts) with some scattered skulls and rocks around the room, some by themselves, some in sets that look liked a + sign. Upon the Queen entering the room, the small balls of organs began to roll in straight lines, although some went for Sectonia, others went other ways and the large mass just slowly moved randomly across the floor.

Sectonia teleported away from the organ balls that made their way to her, being able to fly over the glowing red blood trails they left behind as they rolled. Upon reaching any obstacle, the organ balls just circled around it, clinging to it like flies to honey. This made them easy to dodge for Sectonia, since she could just ignore them or stab them when they got close. The big mess of organs however upon seeing Sectonia attack its hapless minions began its slow advance on the Queen. Wanting to keep that behemoth as far away from her as she could, Sectonia summoned her own minions to pepper it with ice from a distance. It didn't take nearly as long as she figured it would to kill such a large mass of organs with her antillions, but it made sense when it split into two of the smaller ones, making avoiding the rolling balls a bit tricky until she started to clear them out with her swords and antillions.

For clearing such a relatively easy room, even if it was disgusting, Sectonia got nothing at all. Ordering her antillions to grab the spirits of the defeated organ balls, Sectonia went back to the entrance hall. She left an antillion in the entrance hall holding the spoils of the previous room, and decided to enter the room to the north instead. In this room things started to take a weird turn. Still on theme for this whole place sure, but weird non the less as two chained up demons were on the far wall (Begottens), both trying to charge at Sectonia with bloodlust in their eyes but being held by the chains along the wall as 2 what could be seen as... Well Sectonia didn't want to think about it were floating about the room. (Psy Tumor) Occasionally they shot a ring of... purple balls around it? Sectonia noticed these seemed to curve towards her when they got near, but didn't have all that much range. The room itself was fairly open, with the corners of the room being bottomless pits and a couple skulls in the center.

Seeing the chained up demons weren't able to reach her, Sectonia decided to deal with the floating... things... They were at least quite large, so her large light rings were able to land on them more consistently than say, the flies from a few floors earlier. This caused these things to panic upon getting hit, causing them to rapidly spit up their purple orbs as they got hit and began to die, a few of these orbs hitting Sectonia as she wasn't expecting them to attack properly while being damaged. While she was able to cut them up, they did land a few hits on her which smarted. With those gone, the demons chained to the walls broke free of their chains and rushed down the queen, getting a hit on her before she teleported away. This confused them for a moment before they ran at her new location. Sectonia blinked again, and the same thing happened. This gave her an idea that might be amusing, she deserved some amusement considering she had taken damage here.

Moving to a wall after a teleport, Sectonia decided she'd use up these bombs that she had been holding onto. She had no more use for them, so why not destroy the disgusting things of this floor with their own rewards? The first bomb she laid along the east wall she tried to lead the demons into, but misjudged how fast they could move away from the explosion wasting the bomb. Readjusting the timing in her head, she moved to the west wall and did the same thing, this time timing her teleport correctly and catching both demons in the explosion, killing the two of them in one shot and clearing the room. "Hmm..." Sectonia said to herself as she realized those bombs were stronger than she gave them credit for, but there wasn't much she could do about that.

With the room cleared, a card that radiated some kind of teleport magic appeared in the center of the room, while a hole was blasted in the west wall. Sectonia picked up the card which had a bit of artwork on it with the word "stars" on the bottom. She then looked at the hole in the wall she had made, and came to realize it was that 'secret' room she had found earlier. She totally forgot about these things, as she didn't have a good way to find it on the last floor, and just happened to luck into it on this floor. If she hadn't played with those demons, she doubt she would've found it here as well. Either way, inside was only 6 coins, so there wasn't much in there so perhaps these weren't all that important anyway.

Now the 'Stars' card and its teleport magic was interesting. Considering it was teleport magic, she had no idea where it would take her. Likewise, she had no idea where it would take any of her minions if they were to rip the card instead. Seeing as she could teleport inherently and not wanting to risk her minions on something like this, Sectonia thought about this for a little while as her antillion ran into the room and began to collect the spirits of the defeated enemies. She decided to rip it herself, figuring that only the items on those stone pedestals or those in the shops seemed to cause issues with appearance.

Upon ripping it, Sectonia was instantly warped to the item room, being unharmed herself and unchanged, but now stuck in the golden crowned room with quite an Unsightly Appearance and rotten smell. Perhaps one of her minions would want it, but she for sure wouldn't.

The two robot ladies, having made some basic plans, were soon told off for them as they needed some extra identification. Blazermate nodded her head at this, saying. "Yeah yeah, makes sense. Same as in my world more or less. Did you know medabots are actually toys where I come from? Crazy right?" Susie meanwhile was angry at this, since she was running a very successful business doing things on a galactic scale. She was brought out of this anger with Blazermate's offhanded comments about herself, actually confused as to what society would have military grade robots like her as TOYS. She'd have to see if she could do business with these people, it could be very lucrative...

Still, with Tora and Poppi, the two girls were directed to the Solid Waste landfill. Tora was happy at first to see new tech, but had his enthusiasm quickly deflated as he saw what was essentially a mass grave for robots. Poppi was just as mortified, if not more so due to being a robot and the two looked very unsettled here. Blazermate herself was a bit creeped out by this place, but it was more akin to someone being creeped out at a graveyard than the dread Poppi was feeling. Susie meanwhile seemed to be disgusted at the sight, but only because this was incredibly wasteful, saying "What a waste of resources..." Apparently the pink haired robot girl didn't think in the same was as the other two.

The two girls followed Tora and Poppi down into the wasteland of robotic bits and pieces. Susie noticed that basically almost anything of worth, or what seemed to be of worth, had been scavenged from what robots the scavengers could find. Within the wasteland there were human looking robots, things Blazermate figured were the robots they'd be fighting and... Medabots? Yes, Medabots! She knew they were around here somewhere! But they were... thrown away parts? Blazermate flew over to these two junked metabots to get a closer look at them. It was no wonder they had been thrown out, their tinpets were irreversibly damaged and the nanobots inside were gone. Doing something Tora had only seen before, Blazermate pulled these medabot corpses out of the landfill and opened a hatch on their back, a hatch she kept hidden under her schoolgirl/medic backpack. She had a look of concern on her face as the hatches opened, but let out a sigh when she saw what was inside them. "Oh good, they didn't throw out the Medals. So these are just busted up hunks of metal."

It was then a truly morbid thought came across Blazermate's mind. "Hey guys..." She started, getting the attention of the group. "WHY is there a robot landfill in the first place that is still being filled when things turn into spirits when they die?" With that thought, Blazermate flew above the landfill, waiting for Tora to get her an LED, clearly freaked out. Susie scratched her chin as she thought about this too. Why was that the case? In fact, she hadn't really seen anyone but things they had defeated turn into spirits... Why was that? But she shook her head, apparently the main group they were looking for had fused with spirits, so there had to be something else going on.

Thanks to Tora, the two bots had their LEDs installed. Blazermate choosing a Military LED, while Susie got a commercial one. Blazermate didn't move or anything as Tora did his work, while Susie gave him a sideways stare. She wasn't angry at Tora in particular, more the whole situation, but she couldn't help but stare daggers at the Nippon. She let out a sigh when the process was done, saying. "I have a feeling if I did open a business here, I wouldn't be the CEO of it until this whole Ever Crisis is dealt with... Even then I wonder..."

Tora and Poppi then went to go visit a store full of shiny new on display robots. Blazermate followed behind, with Susie bringing up the rear, merely curious as to what the commercial grade robots were. Tora spent his time in the store staring at the human looking androids with sexy bodies, as Poppi made a fool of herself unintentionally as the shop owners found her line of questions weird. Looking around the shop, Blazermate saw an old KBT medabot. It wasn't as shiny as the legendary heroes KBT, but its guns still packed a punch. Still, seeing a medabot on sale was nice to see.

Blazermate asked the two store clerics after Poppi left, seemingly embarrassed or insulted at the word of having an 'owner.' Susie, not that impressed with what was on sale short of the combat medabot, left with Poppi. She didn't want to even MENTION needing an owner as that was far below her if she didn't need to. Blazermate mused asking the clerics about the medabot, but figured Poppi had already made a mess and her perceived owner had just left the store... so she decided to buy a cheap medabot watch looking thing and left with the others.

Catching up to Poppi who was tugging Tora along, Blazermate said in a joking singsong voice "Hehe, I guess your my Medafighter then Tora while we're here. Make sure to keep me all nice and repaired now~" finishing her sentience with a cute wink. Susie merely crossed her arms, clearly not happy about the situation. Blazermate then dropped the sing song voice, saying something that was on her mind. "So, this place has medabots. And apparently just beating up their parts or tinpets don't yield spirits. Until we fight one, I wont know if ejecting the medal will yield a spirit or not as well. I've been keeping mine well hidden because of that fact. Anyway, if we run into a medafight, Tora, you'll need something that looks like a watch on one of your wings to look like a Medafighter. " Blazermate then pulled out the watch she had bought. "I am NOT putting my medal in there for obvious reasons, but its best you look the part if this place knows anything about medabots."

She then, after thinking for a few moments, remembered something which made her freeze up for a moment before snapping herself out of it. "Oh right, uh... If you guys see any like, toy hammer looking things that have a battery attached to them and spark electricity... Please keep them far, far away from me. I don't know if they'll actually work or not with me having fused with spirits, but I really, really don't wanna try anything with a Medal Ejector. "

Blazermate then thought a bit more, and explained to Tora, Poppi, and Susie that if they did run into a medabot outside of a robattle, that they should target its head and back. If they got their medal hatch open and pulled it out, it would shut off ANY medabot no matter how bulky or dangerous it was. She even explained how one time there was a medabot the size of a building, but just yanking its medal out shut the whole thing down. "Oh right, speaking of robattles, Tora, they aren't all that complex. You just stand there and cheer me on as my medafighter. I can give up on my own, so no need for that either." She then thought, and said. "You'll know if your involved with one or not because Mr. Referee will come out of Gods knows where to announce it. Trust me, he has announced EVERY robattle I have ever seen and he has found very, VERY creative ways to find his way to referee one. Hes an eldritch monster, that man..." Blazermate stopped for a moment, nodding her head remembering how the man had appeared out of a lamppost, came out of a 10cm filled fountain like it was as deep as the ocean, parachuted from a helicopter, or even wore a mascot costume! She then remembered something very important with him. "Oh yeah, DO NOT attack him or threaten him if you see him. He is really, really strong. Like really strong. He has a satellite medabot that'll hit you with its rail cannon and smite you like a strike from God. He shouldn't attack us otherwise though, he only oversees robattles."

Susie could only think about what this man was. Considering Blazermate said she was a toy earlier, Susie wasn't surprised that the people she would have been owned by could be something akin to monsters, they'd have to be in order to have military grade hardware as toys.
Hm.... Thinking of a character for this. Goo girl might be fun, but should she just be an ooze, or a nanobot swarm/grey goo reject.

Susie and Blazermate had decided to go with the team that was going to the robot district, although for very, very different reasons. Susie was known as a robotics and resource collecting businesswoman, while Blazermate was simply, to her annoyance, labeled as 'General purpose medibot.' In retrospect she should've actually chosen something for herself, but she figured the others would come up with something cooler than her at the time.

On the way to the district, it was explained that digital districts like this one were full of crooks, and if you knew how to hack, you had car blanche to do anything you wanted. Blazermate didn't have to worry about the hacking part, ad Medabots were immune to that, but someone pickpocketing her could be nasty if they reached into the wrong spots. Susie meanwhile made sure to keep her PDA off, being more worried about her accounts being drained than anything (Although hers weren't accounts opened in midgar). She was also immune to being hacked, but for different reasons than Blazermate.

Susie looked around as they moved through the district. This was a sorry place for being a part of the city. "When we made a Cityscape, we made sure to make it look half decent, unlike this." Susie said, gesturing to the areas that looked horrid and rundown. "But considering as there are places that sell cybernetics, perhaps there is money to be made here." Susie then glanced at Raiden, in a not so subtle hint as to try to sell him some Haltman Cybernetic enhancements. Blazermate meanwhile kept her eyes open for any sign of anything from her world, but for the most part didn't see anything. "I'm not picky either Raiden, but I would like to see soemone I'd recognize for once."


Level 9 Sectonia (holding 3 level up) - (52/90)
Location: Basement > Cave

Sectonia found moving through this 'basement' was tricky. The doors were too small for her, so she had to teleport through them which wasn't the best. And while she managed to clear the rooms on the left, they lead to a dead end. Being thoroughly disgusted by this floor, Sectonia decided to stay back and let the others explore ahead; although she soon found this wasn't an issue as while she had gone left, many others had gone right. And she was mostly thankful she let the others go ahead considering the amount of... horrid body waste that lie ahead. Well at least she knew the origin of the smell of this floor, but that only made things worse.

As she hung back Sectonia crushed some of the spirits she had gotten, finding.... well nothing useful. There was additionally a super heavy device she couldn't carry with her that seemed to be useless she left behind (hopper). Therion had managed to pick the lock of the item room, but all Sectonia saw was bits of blood and burnt bits at the entrance of that room, apparently something happened there she wasn't aware of. Wanting to get rid of the smell of this floor, Sectonia summoned her Antillions to clean up the rooms the others had cleared in an attempt to maybe bring some class, or at least reduce the smell of, this floor and collect any spirits they left behind. Being magical constructs, they didn't care one way or another. Sectonia did have to resummon them a few times though as they got filthier and filthier as they cleaned. As she had her antillions clean, she figured what kind of atrocious monster would hire or even make use of any of these things. Anyone that stuck around the Queen would see this was definitely a place she hated just by the expression on her face.

Eventually making her way through the dungeon, following behind the others, Sectonia found that a room marked on the map as a ? mark seemed to have no way to enter it. A strange thing, but she wasn't a stranger to secret passages. Using her antillions, she had them check out the nearby walls that bordered the hidden room and after a few attempts, figured there was some false wall separating it from the rest of the dungeon. A breath of fresh air perhaps? Her antilllions couldn't break through the wall, and she wasn't going to put her hands on it anytime soon... Seeing as she had gotten her hands on an explosive, Sectonia tried using it to blow open the false wall, almost as if it was some kind of makeshift key.

This had the proper effect, blowing open a hole into what looked like a long forgotten crypt. Well 'crypt' was being loose, it seemed to be some cave that gave the air of forgotten death holding a calcified statue of some kind of weird looking person. Additionally inside it was... Well Sectonia wasn't sure what she was going to expect, but inside she found some fires and TWO explosives! Wow... TWO bombs for the price of one. If she was a kid, she figured she might, MIGHT be excited. Well, if she didn't have her sensibilities about her anyway. As she commanded her antillions to collect the explosives, she saw that the fires that were a bit more 'red' for lack of a better word attacked when the antillions got close, shooting out their own blood globules. Did everything down here attack with blood? Using ice antillions, Sectonia put out those red fires, and the yellow ones for good measure, and found that for her efforts she was rewarded one of those coins she had gotten from those spirits she crushed.

Sectonia would soon find that these coins were currency used in a, frankly, dusty and dirty store the others had discovered. Sectonia, being behind the group, only saw the tail end of their encounter with the store. Nadia had tried to steal the bomb that was apparently worth 5 currency, but the chalk numbers indicated some kind of magic. If you didn't have the currency, it wouldn't let you grab the item. Sectonia checked out the items in the store, finding the expensive one was actually something worthwhile as it buffed... minions? Well that was something she was interested in!

Although she realized she didn't have 15 of these 'coins' that existed in this dungeon. This miffed her a bit, but then she thought that perhaps the magic of the store wouldn't care about what kind of currency it was as long as it was currency. Remembering Geo was currency, Sectonia counted out 15 of it, and thrust her hand into the heart that said "BFF". Unlike Nadia who had her hand just go through the item, Sectonia actually collected the item.



Not knowing of the visual alternations these items confined, Sectonia saw that whatever antillions she had summoned immediately grew a fair amount larger. She knew they would be more powerful, but she wasn't expecting the size increase. And without a mirror, she wouldn't know about the new small tattoo that adorned her head. Something she'd learn soon.

Still lagging behind the others, as the doors only seemed to accept whoever could fit through them and only a few people went in every door, eventually the others reached a door adorned with a skull. Sectonia, alongside a few others, waited patiently as those that entered cleared out the boss. She took this time to clean any that wanted it using her now larger and stronger antillions. And considering the filth in this place, many of them needed it. When the boss was defeated and the door opened, the others waited around a hatch as the rest of the party entered, collecting themselves. Sectonia took this time to clean off whoever she could with her antillions as no self respecting minion of hers would be going around smelling like a sewer.

With everyone having caught their breath and Sectonia doing what she could to clean up her allies with her magic, the group went through the trapdoor down to the next floor. Sectonia being the last one to enter as her size meant she had to teleport down, instead of fall like the others. Upon reaching the new level, which seemed to be a cave system, the smell of sewage was gone having been replaced by the smell of general decay. It was better, but not by much.

"Hmph, whoever hid this 'mask' down here had the antithesis of beauty on their mind when they designed this place." Sectonia mentioned at how neither floor was all that accommodating to her sensibilities. Nadia had gone ahead much like usual, going in the direction of another shop she had seen. Sectonia meanwhile looked at the adjacent rooms finding many of them to have the smae grotesque monsters, although a bit more durable looking, as the previous floor. Curious as to what was in the store Nadia had found, Sectonia having found an item that made her antillions far more powerful, Sectonia made her way there after Nadia had cleared up that room. She caught the tail end of Nadia complaining about not having enough currency for some sort of prism looking object.

"IF your interested, I have some currency you can use to buy that object Nadia." Sectonia said, offering up the three pennies she was missing. "However I ask that you crush some of the spirits I have collected so far after this floor is done. I have a theory I would like to test." Far be it from Sectonia to deny one of her minions trying to beauty herself with crystal.
