OOC: Maybe we need to have something happen then?

OOC: I guess...but what?!

"Indeed" Shaydes agreed with a disgruntled tonality. A little insulted by Fluttershy's rejection of her sympathy, she followed along.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Foxtail pulled with all the strength he could muster, eventually succeeding in freeing Sweetie Belle.

He sniffed the air in response to her comment about "being watched", and a strangely familiar scent- fur mixed with cigarette smoke -filled his nostrils. But it couldn't have been who he thought it was... could it?

OOC: Scrapping the earlier statement that Foxtail knew Technus was here.

Fluttershy wandered down the corridor, taking note on the dull walls and ceiling. She was confused as to why the interior of the tower was so bland, she decided to make a comment on it.

"Gee.... I wonder who designed this tower, a washing machine? It is so dull in here you could put insomniacs to sleep for days on end." she sarcastically snapped. It was clear she was trying to elicit a response from the tower.

--------------------------------------

"Thank you." Sweetie Belle said for the tenth time, clearly overreacting about Foxtail's help.

"Um... Mr. Fox? Where am I?" she inquired, the young filly was confused, the processors and memory banks that made up her brain, that she thought were just like a normal pony's, could not come up with an answer.

"I don't think I'm in the Everfree Forest, it looks a lot more tame that this place..." the robotic filly stated, starting to make a list in her head on what to do in this situation.

Shaydes tried to break the awkward tension between her and her new companion.
"I agree, I've seen houses made of dirt more creative than this..."

"Hey! Stop complimenting him, no, it!" Fluttershy snapped playfully, a shadow of a small smile could be seen forming on her muzzle, something was.... affecting her in this tower. Normally, she would be taking this situation with uttermost seriousness. But nopony but Pinkamena knew that.

"Where? Well...." Foxtail shrugged. "I dunno. I saw this forest and decided to go check it out. I can say, though, things really aren't looking good for this place at the moment..."

OOC: Major writer's block. That's my excuse for the delay.

Sweetie Belle listened intently, her ears drooping at Foxtail saying he doesn't know.

She would have cried at the notion of being completely lost in the middle of nowhere, with a friendly, but complete stranger. But she still felt like she was being watched.

"Uh, Mr. Fox? I still feel like I'm being watched." she intoned, a layer of worry laced into her voice.

[OOC: I would comment on that, but I'm not all that familiar with Writer's Block.]

Pit was a bit confused of what Fluttershy said, but continued through the tower.

OOC: Shall I have one of the strongest machines of the Tower appear?

Ooc: since shikari heard something? Yes.

OOC: 'Kay, though it's actually a flying thing.

The lights around Phantom's group dimmed for some reason, making the place darker.
"Wait, what's going on?"

"I have no idea... maby someone dropped the power?" Aqua said.
"No... thats not why" Lightning said.

Phantom looked ahead, then ducked as something black flew past, making what sounded like a bird's cry.

Aqua got the thing right into his face , he fell backwords with his head first, fainting...

Phantom quickly spun around, as the thing flew a slight distance behind them and then turned. It was a mechanical phoenix coated in black metal.
"It's an Abyssal Phoenix!"

OOC:Something like this, just with red eyes. Abyssal Machines like this come in several types. You all can use other types of Abyssal Machines if you want, though not a Dragon type, as I have a Abyssal Dragon planned for later.

"Aqua!" Shikari ran towords him.

The Phoenix came in for another charge.

Ooc: Let me only have shikari!

The phoenix hitted Lighting in her face, going trough the same problem as Aqua...
"Not you too!" Shikari shouted.

Phantom dodged the Phoenix's second charge and slashed it as it flew past this time.

OOC: Think I'd like to wait for the others now.

Ooc: yay... boredom sux...

Shaydes heard the quarrel going from quite the distance, and after telling Fluttershy that she'd be back, teleported to Phantom and Shikari's aid. It surprised her to see Lightning and Aqua there, but it didn't concern her for the time being.



Foxtail was getting paranoid now. Not only did Sweetie Belle's statement tip him off, but the stench of his past foe was beginning to disturb him. He barked out:

"Show yourself!"

And so Technus revealed himself, in all his cold, automated glory.

"You, I thought I killed you!" Foxtail said with confusion and anger evident in his voice.

The cybernetic tabby was displeased with Foxtail's hostile tone. "Now, is that any way to greet someone you haven't seen in years? Try as you might, I'm afraid you failed to destroy me." His tone was as sleazy as what little soul he had left. It drove the vulpine mad.

"Well, what do you want from me!?" Foxtail spat.
"Oh, nothing from you, Foxy," he said, with a sinister smirk forming on his face. "But rather, the philly behind you." He glanced at Sweetie Belle intently.

The Phoenix came back around and prepared for a ranged attack.

"I hope he's not targetting Lighting or Aqua...."

Roy and Ike helped their group fight off the Phoinex, and got ready to counter any other attack.

"O-Okay..." Fluttershy mumbled.

"Just... disappear." she said with a slightly sad tone. She turned to Pit, and immediately asked him a question.

"What are you anyway?" she inquired.

"Me?!" Sweetie Belle squeaked in surprise. Her eyes widening and her pupils dilating, or at least, what was disguised as pupils.

"What would want with me?" she asked, flabbergasted by Technus' statement.

But then she took another view on his suspicious statement, namely the pronouciation on a certain word. Back in Equestria she was sometimes called a dictionary by her friends.

"Umm... y-you said it wrong, it's pronounced F-i-l-l-y, not Ph-i-l-l-y." Sweetie Belle stammered in correction of Technus. A revelation suddenly hit her though, the feeling of being watched was still there, but she knew who it was coming from. It disturbed to no end.

"Y-you were.. th-the one watching m-me?!" she quaked. A cold sensation washing over her.

"But, but, but how did I know I was being watched?" the mechanical filly all but shrieked.

The Phoenix fired black lasers at them, mainly targeting Ike and Roy this time.

"Im an angel" Pit simply replied, he was kind of confused as to why she didnt know.

The two managed to dodge some of the lazers, As Roy went to dodge one, he got struck in the arm. He backed up, and held his wound. "Argh...Thats painful..." He said. Ike charged at the Phoinex and struck a powerful attack.

The Phoenix was hit by Ike's attack, but attempted to peck him in retaliation.

Ike blocked the peck with his sword, and attemted to attack again, though, getting a bit tired due to the phoinex`s speed.

Phantom shot the Phoenix in the wing with the laser rifle form of his weapon, causing it to slow down for a moment. It was struck by Ike's attack again.

Ike ran up and slashed the phoinex hard with his sword Ragnell.

The Phoenix flew back a bit and shot black fire at Ike.

Ike attempted to dodge, but his cape was burnt in the process.

Phantom hit the Phoenix with a bolt of red lightning. It then attempted to charge at and attack Ike with its talons.

Ike was quite tired, and was too slow as the phoinex was able to grab him like it intented to. He struggled to get free.

Shaydes fired her rifle at the Phoenix in an attempt to free Ike. The glint in her eyes showed she was brewing a plan.

Phantom knocked the Phoenix off Ike by slashing it with his weapon in greatsword form.

Ike had finally gotten free from the Phoinex`s grasp. He was still however ready to fight.

The Phoenix had taken significant damage, but it still shot more fire at them.

"But, but, but how did I know I was being watched?" the mechanical filly all but shrieked.

Technus's cerebral computer scanned the filly to confirm she was the same machine that his sensors had detected, a search that came up positive. He chuckled at her correction of his grammatical error, but displayed no pleasure in his discovery as he paced around.

"Pardon my diction, I blame Autocorrect. You are an intellectual one, no doubt." He turned his back on her and ominously uttered: "But clever as you may be, it is my opinion that you are not who you think you are."

"What are you talking about?" Foxtail piped up, now thoroughly confused and frustrated.
"Oh, I didn't expect such primitive senses such as yours to pick up on it, canine. You've known this girl for- how long, a minute? -and not once have you questioned what she is or whence she came."

Foxtail snorted his anger. "It doesn't matter who or what she is. If it means protecting innocent souls from scumbags like you, I'll stay with her 'till we both drop dead!"
Technus chuckled once more. "That's what makes you so fun, Foxy. Your naively blind loyalty makes you such an easy target."

In a conclusive tone, "Well, I've other things to do besides converse with the likes of you, like conquering a certain android's tower for instance. This won't be the last time you see me. Auf Wiedersehen, dummkopf!" And as abruptly as he had arrived, he disappeared, "beamed up" per se. The effect of his statement regarding Sweetie Belle's identity lingered like somebody had broken wind.

"I.. don't know what to say about that." Sweetie Belle weakly commented on Technus' sudden disappearance. 'Not what I think I am... What does he mean by that?' she thought to herself.

"Not what I think I am? How would he know? He's not me!" she ranted in a panicked tone, not wanting to believe a word of Technus'. She sat down with her hooves over her head, fearing Technus might be right

"Wait, why should I care?" the mechanical filly announced out of the blue, rising to her four hooves.

"I've read some fiction, he's using some random speech to get me down so he can experiment on me later, like any other generic villain does!" she declared with a smile, proud of her conclusion.

"Uh... sir, what are we going to do now?" Sweetie Belle inquired, sitting down.

OOC: I guess I'll just do this since nobody else has responded.

Phantom dodged the Phoenix's fire and attacked with a ice beam, freezing it and allowing for someone to deliver the final blow on it.

Edit: Should we get to the top of the Tower soon?

Shaydes drew a sword and hacked away at the frozen Phoenix.



"Maybe we should follow him..." Foxtail muttered, noting several military helicopters flying in the Tower's direction.

"Are you strong enough to walk?" he asked Sweetie Belle.

Fluttershy strode down the long hallway, nothing of interest taking her attention.

Then the lights began to flicker.

Sweetie Belle took a few steps away from the wreckage of the ship, and immediately noticed a limp in her right foreleg.

"Yes." she answered.

"Yes I can, but I might slow you down if you want to get there quickly."

Shaydes drew a sword and hacked away at the frozen Phoenix.

"Wow, that is some great power over there... My dagger's would've be useless... Talking about them... where are they?

The Phoenix exploded with a horrible screech, as of a tortured spirit. Its remains dissolved into thin air before even touching the floor.

OOC: I'm wondering how far into the Tower they should be (they could actually reach the top without even seeming to have gone very far up, since the Tower makes no sense like that).

"MY EARS! I can't hear a thing, anyone?!"
Shikari started to run in cirkles.

The screech quickly died down.

"Just as awful as I remember it," Phantom said.

Shikari still seemed get hurt from the screach, keeping running in cirkles.

The Phoenix's end momentarily disoriented Shaydes as well, what would have been her ears were ringing like mad. She clutched her head in an effort to cradle it from the migraine she was left with.

The fennec gave a knowing smile. "No problem," he replied, proceeding with a slow enough pace for her to keep up.

"Some theorize that Abyssal Machines contain the souls of fallen individuals, hence the horrible screech," Phantom noted.

"Oh really..."

She felt a twinge of guilt for killing it after that revelation, but the pain in her head prevented her from dwelling on it for too long.

"We need to press on. Is everyone recovered enough to continue?"
