Hal Henderics

Dackly's Vehicle Skids to a stop, everyone inside dumped unceremoniously on the ground as it falls apart into rubble and ashes. "Daaaaamn! Fun ride." Dackly nods, arms crossed, as soon as she digs herself out of the ground with Gozer's Help. "We were close to death." Gozer rebutts. "Yeah, Fun." Nodding once more, She slithers into the Courtyard, while Gozer treads behind. She stops, then turns around at the pile of rubble. "Rest In Peace, Princess Chainsaw. You were the best Flying Truck I've ever driven today." She comments with a short salute. Once she arrives at the courtyard, she smashes the club down, and begins shouting at the man trapped within. "Can you hear me?!" "Struggle more if you want to be beaten with clubs with great prejudice!" -- Laver makes his way to the courtyard. There are smarter people than him to handle something like that.

Using the speed boost gained from the fireball spells, Dackly swings the Truck down, swooping into a dive for whichever person has the nicest looking armor, then, she scoops them into the Dunce Cap, and throws it in the back. "Restrain that kindly fellow!" Dackly Shouts as the club clatters behind her, a presumably screaming man stuck inside it. Meanwhile, Gozer has wrapped himself around the front bumper, and Gozer Dozers through anything that crashes into them with the low dive. -- Sweat drips from Laver's Brow as he competes with multiple spheres, smashing them into one another to create one giant volley, even the masses should not compete with something like this. One mistake could mean abject failure.

Suddenly, coming in streams, a herd of strange machines come squealing in front of the building, single wheels with large expressive eyes, They seem to come in various sizes and paint jobs, like Motorcycles, but with only a single wheel, exhaust jets from mufflers in tandem as they rumble loudly. "Good. Get on and Let us go." Meta Knight asks, before ignoring them entirely and taking flight. In fact, the only ones to take the offer of a ride are Wario, his Purple Companion, and the Pink Puffball. The rest seem to have much faster ways of travel, with the ones in red and green running at high speed, and the other pink puffball rolling out and away. Before long, everyone arrives at the Halberd once again, it is quiet, and still. Nothing like before, when there was practically a storm of purple and black forming increasingly large monsters. Aggression Level: 0

"How are your ballistics?" Mar asks, opening two of the sacks. One contains some sort of brown grains, and the other contains empty soda cans, unmarked and silvery. "If you can, we require ammunition for the Cannons Alexandria will be assembling, we have Canisters, Acid, and Thermite." "If you can assemble one of the cannons, Alexandria can assemble the other, while I assemble my own weapon." Mar manifests a hologram of the weapon in his hands, it appears to be a wooden structure covered in glass bits that focus light and magic from the reactor into a powerful laser pulse. "Lastly, I was not looking for anyone, And did not see anyone."

"I do not trust this, I am going to construct a weapon worthy of the castle. Your help would be appreciated, considering we are unarmed and helpless in large scale conflict." Mar comments, going to the Farm and grabbing Logs, Sticks and Husks, and then gathering sacks and cans of strange substances to take to the roof.

Laver Changes to Dark King's Accord, Activating Power Posture and Dead Man's Volley, Laver stands at the front of the Vehicle, Smashing away arrows and spells as a golden light shines from within his black flaming weapon, things that crash into him dealing damage, but not compromising his stance at all as he meets the most dangerous of attacks with his blade's edge. The first attack he strikes would have been deflected into the crowded army, to be retorted or punished for in this new game of deadly tennis. "I'll try to keep the stuff off of you guys, try not to let them beat me up too bad!" Laver says as a nasty looking hit crashes into his leg, before being washed over with black fire to preserve his stance. -- "Secret Technique go, Princess Explosion Assault!" Wrapping a tail around the steering wheel so she can still control it, Dackly climbs out onto the hood of the truck, driving it into the air so she can Parry fireballs into the Truck's Engine block to feed it's Geomancy Flame further for a speed boost! Gozer meanwhile, simply grabs the collar of Dackly's Vest, preventing her from falling into or off of the truck, and begins Dropping Deleterious Bombs into the Melee, the invisible explosives acting like flares, exploding as arrows are carelessly shot into them from below. "That is not a real technique Dackly. You made that up." "That's what a technique is, duh!" Dackly retorts, swinging her club like a pool noodle at a particularly large fireball.

Meta Knight Nods. "There may very well be hope for you lot yet." He turns in place, cape billowing behind him. "The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get there. An Aerial Assault would be ill advised, I'll be Calling Colonel Dee to bring around some Wheelies to approach via land." He walks out through a side door that does not involve vaccum cleaners, before whipping out something like a walkee talkee, and chattering into it. The strange fellows that arrived mingle in general. -- "Geeze, I don't know, There's these rats that blow up the transformers when they get into the power lines, and a few that shoot fire everywhere." The guy responds. "Look, I gotta get going." He continues, walking off to do his business.

Dackly Guns the clutch, twists the gas pedal, activates the Blinker fluid injector, and it appears that Dackly knows nothing about trucks. Thankfully, this truck is more of a magic vehicle, and works anyway, zooming forward. It really is a good thing this vehicle does not actually work like a Truck, as one might notice Dackly has no legs with which to push down the pedals properly, nor depth perception to drive a vehicle at all. Gozer shifts out of the Passenger's Seat onto the roof of the vehicle Dackly Petrifies any Skeletons in their way, Ramming into them as Gozer lifts them up and into himself. "Don't worry about the melee Skeletons, try to keep those arrows off of us." Gozer asks in a booming tone as a Skeleton smashes into the windshield, Dackly quickly starts headbutting it, The snakes in her hair biting it viciously as she starts drifting around due to not watching the road. -- Laver Shrieks in Terror, Smacking Solomon's Bookmobile to try and heal it as it presumably crashes into things.

"There is shimmering near the Drawbridge and Entrance, I have not attempted to open the doors, but I did Scatter Anti Radiation Marbles and Anti Magic Ash on both. We should stay closer to the center of the castle, if possible. Those distortions can mean nothing good at all." "I saw nothing else." He continues. Mar Checks the Trapdoors to the Roof for anything suspicious.

Mar walks back into the Engineering Bay. He is visibly sweating and breathing slightly heavier. "Is anyone here injured?" Mar asks, not having heard Tesla say the exact same thing. Some sort of soot is wiped on his palms, and Tinkling of Glass can be heard in one of his pouches. He seems to be moving Mechanical Equipment into the Engineering Bay, Mechanical Arms and Grinders and Welders.

"A necromancer who knew entirely too much about his craft helped Dackly to revive me in a form closer to my true self. Being what I am, this did not change very much. The Necromancer had talents in necromancy that brought the art beyond necromancy, the ability to revive the dead was beneath him, and he had taken for himself the power to enforce his magics over things that were not living or dead as we knew them." Gozer responds. It seems Gozer is not feeling too tragic about his death. In all likelihood, he cannot.

"I had to die once to accomplish it. So yes." Gozer comments bluntly, as he usually does. Dackly looks a bit like a statue herself in response to this.

"It is good to meet you. I am Gozer. The one Driving is named Dackly, A close friend." "We have no proper Titles, but we are both loyal clerics to Nyx, Goddess of Night and Patron of Monsters, and we have experience traveling realities already, having picked up tricks such as this one."

"I am an Earth Elemental, an Aspect of Earth. I am not a Construct, but I share many features of one, due to using Stone and earth to make my body. If it is of stone or earth, it is within my realm of influence." Gozer responds.

"You seem Weary." Gozer comments, turning to look out of the back window at the man, Walmond.

Dackly revs the "Engine" Preparing to ferry people in the Stone Truck. "We are ready to leave, when everyone else is."

Dackly hears the word "Infinite" and starts slowly Chuckling. "So you are telling me that no matter how many of them die, no matter what we do, aside from killing the source, they will just keep coming?" "If that bitch really wants to throw away the win, sure, she can consider that a GOOD idea." "When she arrived, she knocked over my Crackpot, which contained within it 66 of her skeletons, the liquid, when poured onto the battlefield, became a giant skeletal dragon. She claimed it was beyond even her power to create such a thing." "So what you are telling me is, We have an endless supply of the dumbest, most easily tricked enemies, who possess Draconic Essence of some kind within them, enough to easily fuel Alchemy of the Highest Caliber, or to grant me a supply of Statues and Earthen Emeralds to raise our strength even further?" "I believe myself and Gozer can help with your caster problem, if we truly have a fortress waiting for us."

Dackly suddenly whips out a rapier made of stone, and slashes through the charred beams of the ruin, and the Rubble of stones around it. Gozer, meanwhile, ignites his flame further. Dackly forms a Large Flatbed Truck out of stone by softening it, then smashing it with her giant club, and shoveling the Charred wood of the Ruins into the crackpot and Pouring it into a Gas Tank made of stone in the automaton, Finally, the Stone Vehicle Cracks, exploding into rubble, before reforming, A glowing Green fire wafts from cracks in the Truck's surface, and it has a large flatbed in the back. Instead of wheels, Red Flames fire from crude thrusters in the bottom. A single geomancy flame burns in the empty and open space where the engine would be, a pile of burning coals at the bottom. Dackly hops in the Driver's Seat, while Gozer shifts his mass into the passenger's seat. "Tell me when you guys are ready to go, This thing is running off of burnt wood, so no lollygagging."

"It is a very simple enchantment I picked up on my travels." Dackly Comments. Turning it around, The lady would see a glowing sigil, a floating rune above it's surface. "It is not nearly as powerful as the Fusion sigil, nor as flexible as raw Alchemy, but It is very versatile." "As soon as we get to this Human Fortress, you can see it in action for yourself." "I have a threat to make with it, after all, to that bitch that stole the Dragon I made." Dackly's face looks rather nasty as she thrusts a knifehand into a chunk of wall in the keep, ripping out a rock which she turns to putty in her hands. She eventually connives her way into a stone bottle, filled with some sort of pink liquid... Gozer might look worried if he weren't a pile of stones, or worried, for that matter. Instead, he lifts 5 of the statues in a psychic grip, and crushes them into glittering green emeralds, about the size of a fingernail each. The gems are immersed in his Earthen Flame, which burns brighter. Piles of rubble from around quickly slurp into his form, along with soil, until he looks like a Giant Squirrel made of rocks and dirt, with a flowing green flame where his head would be. "I am still capable of that. Cool." He comments Dryly, louder than he used to be, with his new size.

Dackly Hesitates, Then is swept up by Gozer, who initiates a Gozer Dozer, sucking up the Skeletal Statues in the process. The rolling katamari of statues and stone is large enough to carry a few other people, due to the added mass of skeletal statues. -- Laver Switches to Metal Sonic's Accord, Zooming off after them with his Jet-Enhanced weapon.

E-Gadd looks taken aback. "Why, this is the F.L.U.D.D Flash young man! this little autonomous robot shell is designed to be able to move lots of water for the purpose of putting out fires and other such things, it can fire a pressurized spray of water, strong enough to lift a person off the ground, if only for a short while." He grabs the F.L.U.D.D Flash and sets to inserting the robotic core into it. "Just have to flip the switch from 'Bad' to 'Good' and.... Done! Simple as can be!" He hands over the small device, it looks like it would strap perfectly to an arm, it appears to be a clear tank with a set of handles and a nozzle. After this, E-Gadd uses the We-AU to scan the party. A small message is printed out on a small ribbon of paper coming out of the device. shelf 2A behind nozfibulator utmost importance give them it E-Gadd looks confused, the Prognostisizer never gave instructions in a print out before... He checks the shelf and pulls out a round object, made of machinery and metal, it glows with a strange blue and green light. "This is my Portable Pocket Dimension Distributor, I invented it to let people travel between worlds easily, it makes a large bubble, with life support, dimensional propulsion, everything you would need to travel the multiverse with comfort, style, and ease, the minute you attach it to any sort of vehicle or platform!" "It has a fatal flaw however, in that it cannot navigate on it's own. None of my probes have ever returned, and I just can't figure it out." "The dimensional energy on you seemed to have that message encoded on it, Maybe there is a reason it wanted you to have this." He hands over the small sphere. it is about the size of a softball, and feels warm. Meta Knight looks confused, but impatient. "So we have learned nothing about why these bugs are back, or who sent them to my ship." E-Gadd Retorts. "Well, it sounds to me like whoever did it could be themselves able to travel dimensions." Meta Knight hums. "My ship has the welders and machinery needed to assemble a frame for that orb. But it is also still overrun with those beasts." Meta knight turns to the strange individuals that arrived. "You five are helping me, You know how deadly those creatures are to our world, and what they could mean." The pink puffballs look confused, The 3 Overall'ed individuals look displeased, but nod individually. "The rest of you though." He turns to you all. "The choice is yours. I do not believe you can hold your own against these monsters, and I also do not believe you all are willing to wait weeks while I re-take my ship from those monsters." "Join me in the assault, and I can bring you directly to the Engineering wing with my 5 fastest Engineers. Your ship will be done in a mere 5 minutes. That may be too long, if the infestation is as bad as I am led to believe.." "Or, you can try to forge your own path, and find something suitable to transport you all to wherever it is you are going." He crosses his arms.

Laver shouts to Empi, "Come on Empi, It's the Gas! You have to fight it, you are too brave for this to affect you, I know what you are capable of!" Oh god does he know... Laver feels the sensations of paranoia, but as the Heart Doctor, you would be hard pressed to trick him into thinking that is how he truely feels. -- "No... Get out... get out of my head." Dackly is curled up on the ground, whining. After being freed, she pauses for a second, before leaping up in the air, landing on her side. She looks over to Gozer, whose flame is flickering weakly as he sits piled on the ground in a pile of carved boulders. "I'm going to take whoever did this." She looks over to the skeletons. "I Hate you all so much." "I hate you, I hate you I hate you." Her muscles tense up as her eye squints. her skin turns green. Not the color of plants, but the color of snakes, for just a moment. The metaphor is clear. Life becomes Death for a moment as she flickers that strange slightly different shade. "I Hate You!!!" Suddenly, her single eye is pulled wide open as a green light washes over the battlefield, She petrifies the Dragon Tooth Skeleton Beasts, applying ((14(+32 From Int Buff)+1d6)*10) Hatred Stacks! Everything that is not explicitly stone is instantly made such as a raw wave of pure hatred washes over the battlefield, this is the Evil Power. Anyone who saw her would feel a hatred beyond human emotion washing off of her in waves, flowing over the ground like a vile fog. Gozer watches this, his mind abuzz, critical of everyone around him, which ones would be most willing to betray Dackly, which ones are unworthy. His gaze passes over the beast of hatred sitting before him. Is she? His stones shudder in resistance.

Laver uses Vibe Release, Buffing Atton's Int by (12/7=1.7) 1.7. -- Dackly uses Parry, Parrying the Incoming Volley of Arrows from the Skeleton Archers towards the BBQ Goblin! (Call an attack that will be made, if called correctly, cancel the attack and stun the attacker) Gozer Detonates his Deleterious Bombs in the mist, dealing a potential 4+1d4 AoE damage to it!

"It's a Pokemon, those critters are always up to something, we usually have someone call Red to come get them." One of the passersby comments to cim. -- "Oh my my my! You obtained a Sample, Absolutely perfect!" Gadd fires some sort of scanning ray at The Shadowbug Container, one which looks suspiciously like a Wii-U gamepad. "My, you all seem to have some samples for me!" He fires the beam twice more, the device in his hand emitting beeping noises. "Yes, I believe this data will be useful. Throw the weapon into the Drill-o-matic and it will drill it into a smaller one." "As for the Core, I believe I should reward you for your incredibly fortuitous assistance!" The man begins digging around in some kind of revolving shelf, machines that seem to serve even stranger purposes than their bizarre appearance would have you believe swivel by. Meanwhile, several heroes begin coming in the same way the rest of you did. One by one, Some person in Red Overalls, A pink puffball, A second pink puffball, and A tall and lanky individual in Purple Garb. "Where are the others?" Meta Knight asks. The response from the Red Garbed Person is completely unintelligible exited gibberish, accompanied by hand gestures. "Curses, I had hoped more of them would not be dealing with those problems." Meta Knight responds. E-Gadd finishes searching, pulling out a small and dusty machine, it is unrecognizable. "Any last questions before we use E-Gadd's We-AU now to scan the energy on your bodies?" Meta Knight asks the group.

Lexiel Summons more BBQ Goblins, while her Aura heals whoever has the lowest health. -- Meanwhile, Samantha uses a Basic Attack on one of the Dragon Tooth Beasts. -- Gozer uses Royal Guard to grant one of the BBQ Goblins +21 RES, giving it a cooldown of 2 turns. Dackly, meanwhile, uses Petrify, Blasting the everloving hell out of the Pink Mist for 14+1d6 Hatred Stacks. Dackly's Crackpot sits there, near the Goblins, as per usual. -- Laver Heals Samantha again, for 1d6+11 Health!
