*Gallade woke up and got to his feet*

Gallade: Did we win?
Link: Not exactly. He got away

*Gallade sees Wolverine still passed out on the ground*

Gallade: I don't have to carry him again, do I?

*Link nods and Gallade picks him up*

Gallade: This sucks. Probably gonna have to sleep on a futon again...

OOC: Technically, Metalliform didn't retreat voluntarily. He disappeared only because he took enough damage to be defeated. Just so you all know.

ooc: ......... where can I jump in?

OOC: Wherever you'd want to I suppose. I'm just waiting for some responses to my last post on the last page.

"But how can we fight him with the condition i`m in...?" Pit asked, quite worried.
"Someone might have to stay behind with him...." Marth replied.

"Heh.... I can!"
Lighting Strike popped her head out of a small pile of grass nearby.

OOC: I'm wondering if anyone actually saw this, as I'm waiting for a response to it.

OOC: Here we go then.

In the distance, Metalliform's Tower suddenly became highly active, starting to reshape itself and make itself bigger. Turrets emerged from its sides and it began to destroy the forest surrounding it via Decay Beams, which rapidly cause a living thing to age until it becomes dust. It also sent out Decay Drones with these same beams to cause destruction further out. The Tower's activity spike caused a powerful earthquake that could be felt for miles.

It was as if the Tower was itself alive... and mad.

"How do we know you wont do any harm?" Marth said to Lightning strike, unsure of her offer.

OOC: I saw, I was just trying to figure out what to do with it

*Wolverine suddenly woke up, causing Gallade to drop him*

Gallade: Finally! You're-
Wolverine: Did you guys here that?
Link: Here what?

*The ground shook a little under their feet*

Gallade: What's going on...

*Wolverine took off in the direction of the noise*

Gallade: Aw c'mon! Can't we rest for awhile!

*Link takes off after Wolverine*

Gallade: Seriously...

*Gallade follows*

OOC: Hmm, I think now would be a good time to finally introduce Technus.

The pair of sentries dragged Treetop along a darkened hallway, and he was flung into a smoky office as the door slammed shut behind him. A gray tabby tomcat sat at the desk, but it was no ordinary feline. A steel plate with infrared scope hid the left side of his face, and his ears were modified into twin sonar scanners. He appeared to be smoking a cigarette, which judging from the smell, was catnip. His right forepaw was amputated, replaced with a clawed, mechanical appendage. An electric converter sat mounted on his back, and his rear legs were clad in a pair of braces. The squibbon immediately recognized the tabby that sat before him.

"Nicoli Technus. What an unpleasant surprise." Technus had been plagiarizing Treetop's inventions for years, and an intense rivalry had formed between them.

Technus blew a puff of smoke and flicked the used drug away before focusing intently on Treetop. "I'm no more pleased than you are, cephalopod. But as much as it pains me, I require your assistance. As you know, a homicidal machine has been sighted in the area as of late, and it could pose a significant threat to Technus Industries©. I am willing to overlook our past and form a temporary alliance of sorts with you. With our extensive intellects combined, we will be a formidable duo."

"However, I must ask a favor of you. Besides me, you are the most adept technician I know. The converter that I must use to keep myself alive after the dreadful accident that left me in this clockwork body is beginning to malfuncti-" His voice trailed off as he appeared to pass out onto the desk. "Um, Nicoli?" Treetop asked warily, and was startled when an electric pulse shot through the tabby's body and he screamed in pain.

"Every day I'm dead for a little longer!" he shouted, then recollected himself. "So, I believe we have a deal? Save my life in exchange for my help in battling your adversary?"

Treetop thought this over, looking desperately for a loophole, when he settled on one. "You see, a life-extending machine is far too complicated for even my capabilities. It was a mere stroke of luck I was able to resolve the inner mechanics of my portal gun, there's no possible way I could fix something like this without an appropriate blue-" He cuts himself of as Technus drops a roll of paper on the desk. "-print." Defeated, he agreed to repair the converter.

Technus gave a pleasured grin. "I'm sure this agreement will be a good investment..." *under his breath* "in more ways than he expects... he he..."

The activity of the Tower sent several more shockwaves through the ground. Its perimeter was completely lit now, anyone who ventured close would be spotted for sure.

Lord Amethyst stood a little ways beyond the Tower's perimeter, waiting for Link and the others to show up.

OOC: Sorry I haven't been keeping up but I can come back. Watch this.
Kirito ran along the main corridor of Metalliforms castle, when he saw a security drone patrolling it. "YOUR DEATH IS NEAR" Kirito screamed as he stabbed the drone with his twin swords. An alarm then sounded, drones began filling the corridor... Kirito was surrounded

*Wolverine stopped running when he spotted Lord Amethyst*

Wolverine: Where the hell have you been?

*Link ran in behind Wolverine*

Link: We ran into Metalliform again! If it weren't for Foxtail and Lotus I would probably be dead...

*Gallade ran in behind Link*

Gallade: Can we, like, take a coffee break?

"Unfortunately I had to deal with other matters," Amethyst responded. "But there's no time for a full explanation. Look at that." He pointed at the Tower.

*Gallade looked at the tower and groaned*

Gallade: Now we have to fight whatever that is!?
Wolverine: What's going on? How is the tower doing this?

"How?" Amethyst answered Wolverine. "Who can say? It does not act in ways that are easily understandable."

"Sigh... nobody cares about me?" Lighting said , forgetting what Marth said

"Finally, we checked those bushes. It feels like we've been looking in them for two weeks!"

"Wait, where's Shikari?"

"Freeze Blade, by now I think we know where she is."

"Yep. Let's go find those enemies."


Meanwhile,

Two figures suddenly appeared in the forest.

"You look around. I'll go get more help."

"Okay...I guess...I still don't think I understand the situation."

"Just find the tower and destroy it. You might be strong enough."

"What do you mean 'might'?"

"Just go. Also he killed your father."

"What?!"

And one of the figures, who was shaped similar to a dragon, vanished, and the other figure, who was humanlike, said,

"Now, this is for Dr. Light..."

Shikari found herself in a lake, asleep. Aqua had been staring at ber for a while, but he didnt attack nor defend, instead, he was playing with himself , chasing his own tail. He was too relaxed for attack.

Kirito fought the drones but wave after wave, Kirito was getting weaker and weaker. The drones kept on multiplying and they were learning his strategies. Kirito only had one chance to somehow get out of this endless rumble, he saw an opening between two drones where he could escape. He dashed at the drones cutting them in half as he burst through the wall and tumbled from the tower into a forest like area

Shikari had fallen asleep over time, Aqua didn't care, he cared more for something that fel down

(In case you didn't know, the figures were L-Spyro and Mega Man.)

Mega Man then began running through the forest, looking for people and the mysterious tower he was told about.

Kirito saw a small blue man running around the forest he pointed his swords at him and said "Who are you? Are you friend or foe?

ooc: who? sorry but Aqua is only blue, and is not a men or small

Despite their growing feud, Foxtail decided it would only be just to acknowledge and assist the distressed Candence, but was ready to draw his revolver if she got any "ideas".

"I saw you were kinda... freaking out a bit there. Do you think I could help in any way?"

The Pink Alicorn jolted at Foxtail's voice, her next words were of the same reaction
"St- Stay away from me! I don't trust you!" she screeched, hints of fear in her voice.

She slowly backed away from Foxtail, with her pupils now dilated and legs shaking she barely made it four meters before collapsing onto her barrel, breaking down into tears.

"J-just.. st-stay away from m... me!" Cadence said between sobs.

She didn't know what to think any more, with memories of her life in Equestria and memories of completely changing a planet, most likely killing million in the process, devouring stars and fighting insane metal machines. She was torn, the weight of such a clash of memories to much for her.

Three lightning rods emerged from the top of the Tower, and its outer surface became coated with a new form of armor. Blasting holes in its walls would be impossible now.

OOC: ^Well that was a interesting breakdown.

The desert fox was taken off guard by her reaction. He neither advanced nor retreated, although he did lay his pistol down and kicked it away, while he was starting to get teary-eyed himself.
"Please... d-don't... c-cr..."

He fought back his tears as long as he could, which was only a few seconds. He could somehow see what was playing in her head, and his reasons for loathing her aside, he felt legitimately sympathetic for the poor mare. He could feel the agony she was going through, and couldn't handle it any better than she could. Whimpering softly, he fell to his stomach in a furry heap. He wasn't sad just out of pity for her, but also because she had no trust in him, when all he wanted was to help.

OOC: Want to at least wait for you to get someone over to the Tower, if you're going to do that, Skyhunter. Just by the way.

Mega Man

Standing safely out of view, Shaydes eyed the tower, sizing up what she was up against, although she was more concerned with Amethyst. She was worried he would mistake her for an enemy solely by her appearance, just as many had done before. It's now or never, she thought to herself, and she apprehensively made her presence clear.

Amethyst turned in Shaydes' direction, though he did not look at her directly. "An Enderwoman, is it?" he said. "But I sense no hostility."

She was pleasantly surprised that he knew what she was, and yet didn't see her as a monster, a freak of nature.

"Yes. I am somewhat ashamed of my heritage myself, although it has its benefits..." She paused briefly and gave a timid grin for his sensitivity for the curse she was saddled with. "But that aside, I presume this is the work of this "Metalliform" fellow I've heard do much about?"

*Link, Wolverine, and Gallade all looked in the same direction as Amethyst*

"Presumably. It is his tower, though it's hard to say if it is directly connected to him or is a independent entity."

Cadence continued to cry as the darkness surrounding her began to recede into her at a quick pace. Her short reign of... darkness at an end.

She continued to cry for a good four minutes.

When she stopped, she laid there silently, contemplating her situation.

Fluttershy's impromptu, forced slumber was disturbed, she felt something wrong in the air, very wrong. She looked towards the west and could see the faint outline of a tower through the foliage.

'That's not right.' she concluded with a thought.

She shambled onto all fours and began to slowly walk in the direction of the tower. Her wings too weak for flight.

[OOC: I don't know how to write Pinkamena into this story anymore. Sorry.]

OOC: Just a comment, thought it was... interesting. Don't mind me.

Ooc: small recap? Im a bit lost.

OOC: Well, characters like Link, Wolverine, Gallade, and Shaydes (and my own Lord Amethyst) have started gathering just outside Metalliform's Tower now (Fluttershy, controlled by icedragon, is also on the way).

Ooc: Ill try to get mine there then too

Kirito walked along the forest as he spotted a group of people gathering outside the tower. Kirito ran up to them and said "if you want to enter the tower I know how to get inside".

OOC: What about my characters? D:

OOC: You can have your characters come too.

"What? Um...Who are you? Where is the tower?" Mega Man asked in confusion and distraction.

OOC: Just posting for the sake of posting, I've really nothing to say.

Foxtail howled in sorrow along with Candence for the majority of the time. He couldn't hide his emotions; he would get choked up the second he heard another sobbing. When the weeping finally came to an end, he reclined in the soft grass keeping his distance- didn't want to startle her -all the while holding a comforting, innocent expression in an attempt to calm her nerves. It was slightly amusing to him that she showed signs of fear for a creature a fraction of her size, but he concealed this.

Gallade: So, uh, what now?

"We'd have to enter through the front door," Amethyst said. "It's the only way in."

Link: Now we just have to figure out how to safely get to the front door

"You just walk up to a front door and say "hi"?
Lighting Strike was still there, in the bushes, smiling underneath her scarf... She walked out of the bushes, and stood next to Link.
"Can't you dissapear?'

"I only see one way: to quickly dash to it and smash it open. Which I could do fairly easily."

Pit,Ike and Marth soon caught up with the others. "We have to be able to help somehow." Pit replied, but his leg was still in pain.
