Fini's Base - Now What?

[Sipp]

Five minutes had passed since they had left Fini and the naked squirrel alone (ohoho). ...



"I'm bored."

[Lans]

There was a crackle of energy as another portal opened nearby, dropping a robotic squirrel to the floor in front of Knife. It looked slightly banged up like it had tried to jump someone and missed been in a fight.

Jonas felt himself stir as his, and he still shuddered internally every time he thought it, systems reset themselves...and then he realized there was something different. His programming could not seem to contact Robotropolis' computer network or sattelites for new orders. While this was a pleasant change from endlessly slaving away for Robotnik's benefit or being used to try and capture his fellow mobians, it also meant that he wouldn't be doing anything more than picking himself up off the floor and standing there for quite some time unless the situation changed.

[Raki]

And the situation DID change quickly, as the robot squirrel quickly found his vision obscured by something black and sticky.

Attack first, ask questions later. Strange robots generally did not suddenly appear in hidden bases, and as such, Facade had assumed that this was an intruder and dealt with it accordingly by blinding it and taking a fighting stance, waiting for it to make it's move.

...

But it didn't.

The chamtopus gave a confused blink, then prodded the robot.

Nothing.

The mutant gave a bewildered glance to the other Legionaries in the room, changing a questioning shade of yellow, pointing at the robot in a 'what the heck is this' fashion. One of his arms (which had been freed up of the robes and towels he had earlier) reached over and grabbed at the robot, and Facade's eyes widened and his colours flickered. He jumped back quickly, his face contorted into an expression of disgust. The robot was... covered in filth.

It tasted bad.

Really bad.

[Sipp]

"Okay, what the crap?"

He grabbed three knives out of his coat... took one... and then began poking the robot thing.

"It smells funny."

[Lans]

"..."

Oh great, now something had blinded him..and his sensors were telling him that something was poking him repeatedly. ..Maybe there were worse things than being a mindless slave.

[Raki]

Facade, meanwhile, dry heaved in the corner.

He decided he should probably go alert Finitevus of the new robot presence... as soon as he got rid of that awful taste.

[AnT]

"GOD FUCH!! Wish Tekno just take a freakin chill pill! MAN!!!"

Another flash of light accured, revealing another robot squriell. This one however had a meaner presence, with the large red, V-shaped, uni-borws giving that mean look. His robotic tail almost was a large as his body, and he was almost as tall as Tails.

It seemed this robot was walking in the hall in a furious mood, and he didn't seem to notice where he was.

And because of his carelessness, the robot bumped into the mutant that is Facade. The robot glared at the mutant with his blue robotic eyes.

"What da hell are YOU staring at, bright eyes?"

[Raki]

Facade stared in blank amazement as yet ANOTHER robot appeared out of nowhere.

However, this one seemed to be much more... active.

And thusly, Facade spat at it in an attempt to blind it.

[AnT]

His reaction sensors noticed the monster about to spit, and the robo squrell leaned out of the way.

He took a look behind his shoulder, where the spit flew, and turned back to Facade.Though it didn't seem like the robot couldn't make facial expressions, you can still tell he was getting angry.

"Did you just...spit at me, sunshine? Oh HELL NO! Its awn now!"

With a swift motion, he aimed his arm, which had a built-in laser cannon on his wrist, and fired a red blast.

[Raki]

[dice=6]

Facade was not used to his aim missing. So not used to it, that he stared in stunned amazement for a few moments. However, standing still is, by definition, not how to dodge a hit. Thusly, the squirrel's attack met it's mark, and the mutant chameleon was sent sprawling on the ground. After a dazed couple of moments, the mutant flipped back to his feet and hissed at the robot, it's tentacles writing angrily.

And then... he seemed to of disappeared entirely.

However, the assault continued.

"Yeah! That's how it is down with da fists of Shortfuse!" said the robot, named Shortfuse, as he marched, macholy, towards the mutant. "Now stand up so I can-"


And the mutant did, but it somehow vanished.

"...what the fuch?"

Suddenly, he felt the hard slaps upon his self. Shortfuse held up his wrist to try to protect himself, but the last blow knocked him hard off his feet.

"Uh oh..." he muttered, getting back up. "SOMEBODY'S ASKING FOR IT!!!!"

While holding his right arm, Shortfuse quickly fired another blast.

[Sipp]

It was at this point that Knife had sprung until action, sending a barrage of knives towards the new robot.

[Lans]

And Jonas...continued to stand there with ink covering his eyes, and getting a little worried because he could hear the sounds of a fight and couldn't do anything to protect himself if he were to end up in the crossfire.

[Raki]

[dice=6]


Seeing as Facade was currently invisible, it was understandable that Shorty's aim was... very bad. It's very hard to shoot something you can't see, after all.

And since Knife had taken to throwing ... knives... around, Facade had decided now was a good time to run off and warn the doctor.[rand=71819656656257626113970659404773783769293075456007297496268272807]

[AnT]

"You little prick! Quit with the freakin invisi stuff and fight like a real frea---"

[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]

His sensors picked up a hostile movement from behind. Turning around, Shortfuse batted a couple of knives, but one knicked him in his left arm.

"ACK!!" he quickly held onto to his wound, which sparks were spraying out of. "Little fuch! Hiding behind your boy! Fine, I'm down with that!"

With that, the bottom of his feet roared with burning thrusters. He blasted off, shooting towards Knife.

"Wanna take his place down the floor. Be my GUEST!!" he cried, throwing a mighty punch that would knock him across the hall.

[Jamie Lee]

At that moment, Finitevus, with Sally and co. behind him entered the room on the way to his private study. He blinked at the commotion.

"Alright, would anyone like to tell me why there's an unidentified robot wrecking my recreation room?"

[Leedzie]

Sally came in close behind the doctor, arching an eyebrow at the chaos that greeted her. "Oh my..."

[Lans]

"Actually, I count two," Inari said, pointing towards the motionless Jonas.

[Sipp]

[dice=6]



Dodged!

"You fight like someone who isn't American a little girl!"

More knives, electric this time.

Knife waved to Finitevus.[rand=7916108788308949683435399793971969789206889442468491365682898282]

[AnT]

[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]



A little...girl...?

Okay...that brought out the glowing red eyes in Shortfuse.


"THE HELL YOU SAY?!?!!?"

Like a mini shuttle rocket about to soar off, his boot-rockets roared with mighty power, unleashing thick smoke.

And he launched away like a missile, shooting through the flying knives as they bounced off the force of his speed. And he didn't stop as he hurtled towards Knife like a furious cannonball.


[dice=6][rand=995544500167394449445256757785954301786301773626039164425187576028]

[Jamie Lee]

Fini sighed and rubbed at his temple. "Back away from him, Knife."

No sooner had he finished his sentence, the pangolin's hand began to morph into a canon, which he pointed at Shortfuse.

"Good sir, this is an EMP pistol. If I shoot you with this it will immediately scramble your software and render you at my mercy. Now, kindly stop wrecking my base and terrorizing my agents or I will use this on you."

[AnT]

Even in the air, it seems Shortfuse can stop on a dime. Hovering after he but on the air-breaks, he glared at the pangolin.

"Yeah, sure! Ruin my fun with your cheap-arse toys! Now what the hell is this place, cause this aint the ol FF HQ, and..."

When he noticed the ground squrell that is Sally, he trailed off.

"Hey, aren't you that princess broad? What's going on here? Some kind of a freakin princess kidnapping?"


Yes, it seems he's angry 24/7.

[Leedzie]

Sally stared intently at the weapon salivating like a dog as Dr. Finitevus explained its function. Something like that would come in VERY handy at home, she thought, patiently folding her arms.

Her eyes moved to Shortfuse as he vulgarly addressed her. "I am Princess Sally," she acknowledged, "but I wasn't necessarily kidnapped. It's just a misunderstanding."

[Lans]

The reaction of the robian in the room was just about immediate. The moment Sally announced herself, Jonas turned and lurched in the direction of her voice. "Freedom Fighter Priority 1, capture by order of Robotnik!"


Inari's reaction was even more immediate, he saw a strange robot moving towards Finitevus and his 'guest' and quickly moved between them, backhanding the robian to the floor with his cybernetic arm.

[Raki]

Facade, meanwhile, reappeared.

On the ceiling.

Above Shortfuse.

If need be, he was now in the perfect position to jump the robot.

[Sipp]

Knife backed off. Muttering.

"Mmph, I want strawberries..."

[Jamie Lee]

The pangolin glanced at the other robotic squirrel and just frowned, looking back at Sally.

"It would appear you're not the only one who was accidentally transported here."

[AnT]

Folding his arms, Shortfuse eyed the doctor, suspciously.

"Really?" he muttered, sarcastically.

[Riyami]

Isis stood there looking at the group unamused, she cast an equally suspicious glance at Shortfuse before glancing over to the other robotic portal jumper, but it seemed that inari had that one under control.

She slowly walked forward, placing herself in front of Finitevus and to his side.

If the need arose, she wouldn't mind making some scrap metal.

[Leedzie]

Sally recoiled as Jonas began to move in on her, then winced uncertainly as Inari put a stop to the robian's advance. "Thank you," she said, "but please be careful. He just can't control himself..." The ground squirrel frowned, leaning cautiously over Jonas to check his condition, but remaining wary of an attack. "This isn't simply a manufactured drone that does Robotnik's bidding; this is one of the citizens of my world that got roboticized."
