Cadence was disheartened at the mention of a death, she never liked hearing a life ceasing to be.

But anger spiked within her when Treetop said 'Regardless', to her, it sounded like he didn't care.

"How can you just brush somepony's death aside like it's nothing?" Cadence hissed, creating some distance between her and Treetop.





Fluttershy had a similar reaction, just stronger.

Her bottled emotions burst fourth when Treetop broke their containers with the way he spoke.
"My closest friend just died!" Fluttershy roared with rage. Spinning around to get a look at Treetop.

"So if it's okay with you! I'm going rethink the meaning of my life!" Fluttershy finished, unable to hold in her feelings anymore she trotted off, away from the wreckage.


[OOC: I found it very hard to write this post.]

"Oh Fox, I'm so happy you found me!"
Shikari ran towards Foxtail, but with a little too much happyness, she bumbed into him


Emerald was trying to get as far as possible, but tripped over a rock, felt head-first on the ground and fainted, open to everything that would happen right now

Link: This is getting ridiculous!

*Link ran off to find SandStrike*

Treetop looked at the ground in shame. He apparently learned nothing in the past few hours, and it showed.

"My apologies. I should have been more sensitive. I'm just become so accustomed to death that I've grown numb to it; my people die every time they pass on their genes. Anyway, is there anything I can do to reconcile?"



Foxtail barreled over to the ground, but still barked out of happiness nevertheless, and started cuddling up against Shikari, wagging his tail and panting wildly.

PIKA!!!

"Well, What in the world do we do now?" Marth said, quite overwhelmed by the entire situation, the weapons not found and the poor angel boy had a broken leg.

Ooc: Where is everybody? In a forest, etc.?

OOC: Everybody is in a forest, although they're scattered all over the place.

Ooc: Got it. Going to jump in soon.

"I'm so happy I'm back" Shikari started to cry

OOC: I'm currently wondering whether I should have Metalliform appear now, or let icedragon make a response to Skyhunter first.

Ooc: I'll wait again

[OOC: Metalliform can appear when you chose really. He's your character.]

"My apologies. I should have been more sensitive. I'm just become so accustomed to death that I've grown numb to it; my people die every time they pass on their genes. Anyway, is there anything I can do to reconcile?"

Cadence gave him a long and distrusting stare and did not relent on it.

"I'm not the one you should be asking." she replied with an ice cold tone.





Fluttershy stormed off into what remained of a small patch of young trees.

She was angry enough to punch Celestia in the face with her forehooves. And that was a bold statement back in Equestria

"Who does he think he is? Treating death like any other thing." she grumbled.

She sat down forcefully with brooding anger, grumbling incoherent sentences all the time she was there.

The Sentinel appeared to give the machine version of a sigh. "You really should put more care into what you say, in case it offends som-"

THUD! THUD!

The machine deployed its weapons suddenly. "Wait! What's that sound?!"

OOC: I'm wondering how many of you here might possibly be interested in other roleplays elsewhere.

Ooc: not realy right now

OOC: I speak mainly of the roleplay topics on my own site. Some feature Mirthkir, as well as other Shadows of Chronidian. I suspect you may actually have to see said roleplays to get a better idea.

OOC: Ninjask, where is are the Strikers right now?

Ooc: Emerald is fast aslerp somwhere neerby, the rest is somewhere i. A tree being bored xp

A crumpled ball of paper landed near Fluttershy. It was a note that read:

Fluttershy:

Fluttershy slowly picked up the note with a hoof and began reading it, with a scowl plastered on her face.
It remained as she threw the note behind her back inconsiderately and picked up a stone she was sitting next to. She took aim at Treetop and threw it at him. She returned to her previous posture, not looking back to see if it hit.

That was, until two loud thuds got her attention.





Cadence was still in a sour mood after what Treetop said, and didn't exactly want to talk to him for a while.

Her brewing thoughts were disturbed by two loud noises.

She strode forwards in the direction of the new sound. Wanting to her mind off of what just happened.

More loud thuds. Something was approaching.

A computerized voice speaks from a receiver on the Sentinel: "WARNING: POTENTIAL HOSTILE ENTITY DETECTED."

"So, no luck?" Lotus asked Treetop.
"None. I can't comprehend it; I make one flaw in wording and they suddenly act as if I've committed a terrible crime."

She shook her head. "That's just how most chicks are. They'll pick apart pretty much anything. Just leave 'em alone and they'll get over it eventually."

"What drives them to act in such a way?"
She shrugged. "I have no ****ing clue. I gave up on feminism a long time ago."

Treetop mused at this comment for a moment before thinking of a witty response.
"You know, there is something attractive about a tomboy..."
"Hey, don't get any ideas, buddy. I'm sticking it with Foxtail" she snapped at him.

Their conversation was cut short by the two massive thuds. "Perhaps we should redirect our focus on our adversary?" he asked.
"I have no idea what you just said, but I pretty sure I agree."

If there was one thing Pinkamena had taught Fluttershy extensively in their eight year absence from Equestria, is how to fight, and how to prepare for one. She had deduced that a fight was going to happen when she caught a glimpse of that which was heading the way of the group that had formed.

She took flight and flew to the crash site at a speed that nearly broke the sound barrier, this speed however, was only possible through the adrenaline rush.

She landed in the middle of the group, standing only on her hind legs and immediately barking out out orders. Her previous mood and feelings seemingly forgotten. And they somewhat had been, if danger could be approaching, she needed a clear mind.
"Cadence, take a back seat, let us know if anything else comes our way." Cadence nodded and slowly trotted out of sight, behind the wreck.

"Treetop, Lotus, this thing is coming from the east." she pointed in the direction she flew from with a hoof, the sound was considerably louder over there.

"So if you two can hide behind the wall there." Fluttershy motioned to one of the last intact walls the ship had.

"And come to the aid of the machine when it calls for you." she finished.

Her wings did not move much, but she was hovering on the Sentinel's level for a few seconds.
"Sentinel, was it? You call for us if this... thing proves hostile, I'm going to find a piece of this ship to use as a weapon" Fluttershy landed by it's feet, still only on her hind legs then wandered into the ruined craft with a judgmental gaze, her eyes scanning for something she can use.

The Sentinel gave a brief nod and faced east, holding its weapons ready: two arm-mounted miniguns, two shoulder-mounted plasma cannons, and a missile launcher mounted on its back.

The unknown entity was slowly coming closer, and would be in sight any second now.

Ooc : anyone planning to do something with Emerald?

OOC: Looks to me like Skyhunter still has to respond to Shikari as well...

OOC: sigh..................

Lotus took a particular distaste for Fluttershy's tone. She and Treetop still took position behind the wall regardless, waiting for further instruction. All the while, she was muttering incomprehensibly under her breath. Only one word could be made out.

"*****."

OOC: I responded a long time ago, I'm waiting for Ninjask. Page 16, post 754.

"I'm so happy I'm back" Shikari started to cry

OOC: I was talking about this post. Number 760.

OOC: Wow, I'm an idiot.

Foxtail gave a comforting grin. He was happy to see her too.

"It's okay, babe. Cry all you want; I won't judge you."

And then began affectionately licking her face.

Fluttershy scoured the remains of the engineering room, curiously taking in her surrounding.

'Gee.... I wonder how much this would cost to repair back in the Coalition...' she wondered, before analyzing the damage done to the room. And joy, was this room hit hard by the crash.

'Well, any energy based ammunition would have lost it's power. I could tell how hard we hit the ground, and quite frankly, I'm surprised that the ship didn't completely disintegrate upon impact.' she deduced. Leaning down and picking up was appeared to be a spear and held it in her two free hooves.

'Intriguing, this survived, guess he wasn't lying about the material after all.' Fluttershy then slowly returned to where she ordered Treetop and Lotus to wait.

When she did get there, she place the spear down in front of her and returned to standing on all four hooves.

"Be ready to spring into action or run at any moment, we have no idea what this is and what it is capable of, we know it is large, judging by the sound it is making, but don't trust that judgment, it could be anything." she announced, relatively quiet, just in case the entity approaching had good hearing.

Fluttershy then suddenly looked to the sky, her head towards the east. Very distant, and large black clouds could be seen, dwarfing the mountain range.
"It's going to rain in five hours, by then night will start falling." she stated monotonously.

[OOC: Weapons stored in Engineering because why not?]

Metalliform came into view, his eyes narrowing as he saw the Sentinel. A low hiss emanated from him.

"It's Metalliform!" the Sentinel called. "Definitely hostile!"

Lotus just smirked. Rising onto her hind legs, she cracked her knuckles and shadowboxed a few times before returning to her average posture, and drew out her butterfly knife. "Alright, I've been itching for a fight all day!" She spoke with an upbeat, almost cocky tone.

Treetop shut his eyes and sighed at her quirky attitude. "I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation, Lotus. Metalliform is no laughing matter, I've seen what he's capable of. In one fell swoop, he turned the mare I used to love into a genocidal maniac. He's an admirable foe."

But she wasn't moved by his warning, and simply scoffed it off. "Bigger they are, the harder they fall. Now quit being such a pussy and let's get out there!"

"If you insist..."

OOC: Do you mind if I have Shaydes sniping in from the sidelines?

OOC: I don't mind it. I may bring in reinforcements of my own as well.

OOC: Also, for the record... Metalliform is about 1.5 times the size of Princess Celestia of MLP. Plus the mass of his body is about equivalent to that of a giant compressed down into a more compact form. So he sounds bigger (and physically hits harder) than he looks.

Suddenly, Magna Charge and Freeze Blade appeared in the forest. Because they were away from the action, no one noticed them.

"Where are we?" Magna Charge inquired. He was curious as to how they had not appeared in the Cloudbreak Islands.

"I don't know, but we've got to find help." Freeze Blade said. They began to journey into the forest, unaware that a dangerous battle was about to begin...

OOC: Need some time to think about where to add these guys.

Shikari heard the voices of two creatures she knew for sure, two Skylanders!

"Freeze Blade? Megna Charge? Are those you two?"
Without warning Shikari stood up and ran in the direction of the two

"If you insist..."

OOC: Do you mind if I have Shaydes sniping in from the sidelines?

Fluttershy rose to her rear hooves again and picked up the spear with her forehooves.

"Ever tried knocking down a mountain?" she asked Lotus, the soft tone in her voice now completely gone.

"If this Metalliform is as powerful as it's being built up to be, then I wouldn't be so confident... Know your boundaries and don't overextend." Fluttershy finished. Slowly walking to the edge of the wall and took a peek at what was waiting for her and the rest of the group.

"Ugh... a machine? I fought enough of those with Pinks on Ciea'Viann!" she complained with a loud groan.

She waited for something to happen, taking a braced stance with her weapon at the ready, pressing herself against the wall.

Metalliform glared around, and began to advance.

"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, MORTALS. I CAN SENSE YOUR LIFE FORCE."

The Sentinel began to fire upon Metalliform; first one minigun, then the other a few seconds after.

OOC: with "mortals" do you mean the strikers, or not?

OOC: No, I don't mean the Strikers. 'Mortals' is the word Metalliform generally uses to address living creatures.

OOC: ok....sigh, waiting again

Foxtail took off after Shikari, curious to meet who she was talking about. He heard rounds of gunfire in the distance, but decided it would be best not to get involved for the time being.

Shikari kept on walking, but tripped over something, no, not something, someone, again
It was a sleeping Emerald, Moveless...

Emerald did not carry the stench of death- at least, none that Foxtail could sense. He had no intention of harming her, but knew that it was still a dangerous predicament. He noiselessly crept around the sleeping Emerald, and offered to help Shikari up.



His mind was racing. Treetop continuously fired blasts from his Pomson while simultaneously dodging around using his portals.

Metalliform glared around, and began to advance.

"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, MORTALS. I CAN SENSE YOUR LIFE FORCE."

The Sentinel began to fire upon Metalliform; first one minigun, then the other a few seconds after.

FLuttershy did not break her cover, but replied anyway.

"So, we're just mere mortals to you? Tiny little foolish creatures that don't know anything? Lost specs of dust drifting through the stars? If so... then why are you devoting so much effort to us?" she asked, just before The Sentinel opened fire.

"THERE GOES TALKING TO IT!" Fluttershy screamed in brief rage, making herself visible to Metalliform.
Her defensive posture still there.

"YOU SPEAK AS IF TALKING HAD THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF CHANGING ANYTHING. YOU CANNOT 'REASON' WITH US." Metalliform's horn began to glow red with heat, signifying that he was charging an attack.

OOC: I'm assuming Cadence is not in view. Otherwise Metalliform would have glared at her in particular.

OOC: This was an attempt at a battle theme for Metalliform. Not sure how well it works now, but here we go anyway.

[OOC: She's hiding behind the entire wreckage, she is in no shape to fight.]

"In that case, I hope you don't mind if I do this then!!" Fluttershy screeched, taking to the air in an instant. Causing a strong blast of wind to radiate from where she previously stood, strong enough the upset all the ash that had set.

She flew high into the atmosphere, old anger now fueling her mind again. Fluttershy only really intended to keep her feelings on Pinkamena's death bottled up for so long. She planned descent back down to the ground to be very violent. She didn't care what would happen to her.

[OOC: Some of the music there is quite good, don't know what comment to make on battle theme though.]

OOC: Yeah, I know she isn't in any shape for that.

Metalliform briefly glared up as Fluttershy flew upwards, then released a sweeping laser on those still on the ground. The Sentinel's personal shield held up against the beam, but still took a massive hit. The Sentinel began to back off a bit, wary of what Fluttershy was about to do.

OOC: Thank you I guess, heh. I planned to use the one called Metallic Fury after Metalliform takes a significant amount of damage.

Fluttershy thrust the spear she was holding into the air and channeled her magic into it as she swung it around her head. She willed the distant storm to approach a lot faster.

Her anger fueled her adrenaline rush as well as her mind. With Fluttershy's internal magic being bolstered by the adrenaline, storm clouds formed quickly. But no rain, she was holding that back.

The super cell that was thirty four miles away could be seen visibly moving faster.

"You seem to be made of metal! Let's see what super-heated metal look like!" she screamed, the heavens agreeing with her with a frighteningly loud clap of thunder.

Fluttershy knew this action was going to leave her exhausted, but she raise a storm to fight if she needed to.

[OOC: Going to wait for Skyhunter here.]
