Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

X: -Roars and topples over, then tries breathing fire at Aaron while he's down-

Reaper: -Is knocked aside from the Dragon Pulse and hisses, then scurries up the wall and vanishes into the mist-

Havoc: -Takes the Bug Buzz and retreats back-

Aias: -Yawns- <Comet... could you get him back to the ship?>

Comet: <Not yet... once things have calmed down. That and we're winning.>

-Then the wall collapses-

-And all the robots that were avoided on the way in here suddenly look at the big hole in the wall-

-Several shards of rock explode out into the chamber and knock one of the pylons over-

Zrone: ... Oh no. No no no no no!! Stop them! Stop him now!

Jacob: Cover him guys!

-Argentum and Discord move to reinforce the other side but...-

Zrone:: SHOOT HIM DOWN!

-The searchlights from the airship look down at Tagg and open fire, but due to the mist, miss completely, and instead destroy several of the maintenance drones freezing the cage-

Zrone:: -Is backing up towards the airship at this point-

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Zrone' s Lab, sometime in August

-Crow, disappointed at Zrone not becoming confused, faints from the poison-

-Akim'bleer is jabbed and likewise faints-

-Unfortunately, Zrone is probably not doing whatever he did for X for them-

Sundancer: <And that's not *all* I know.>

-She whispers more into Havoc's ear-

Gogie: <Rgh...>

-He tries kicking up a wave of sand to reduce those of Zrone's team close enough to get it in their eyes, then tries running for Zrone-

"Welcome. Do you have some... b u s i n e s s?"

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-A dull rumbles comes from the cage.-

???: <...rrrrrrrrrrrrr...>

-The cage begins to glow as something inside stirs.-

79

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-With an Aura chain buried into the cavern wall so that I don't fall down into the lava pit-

Aaron: -Blocks with Spiky Shield- <Screw you, mate.>

Guys, destroy the rest of the drones!

-My other mons immediately fire off long range attacks at the cage-

80

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Zrone: -Freezes Gogie in time, freeing Aya- GET AWAY! RUN! -Trips on the ice as he's scrambling towards the airship-

-All his mons look at each other, then begin backing up towards the airship-

-Argentum and Discord attack the drones as well, eventually there is nothing to keep the cage encased in ice and it quickly thaws over the magma-

81

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-With the last drone destroyed, a curious combination of physics and chemistry can be observed. You see, the ice on the inside of the cage begins to heat up so fast that it begins to expand at a rate high enough to cause the inside ice to explode and erupt, throwing shards of also-rapidly-melting ice in just about every direction. The thing inside is now most definitely awake.-

Heatran: <... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!>

82

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-Climbing back up-

I knew it... the Heatran of Boyleland!

Lepi: <Heatwhat?>

83

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Zrone: TAKE THAT THING OUT! -He waves his staff trying to wind time back around the cage-

Jacob: Uh.... we may want to move??!! -Tries rolling away as the airship launches a barrage of laser fire at the cage-

84

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-As I manage to get back up-

Sounds like a good idea to me!

-And we immediately start moving to a safe distance from the enraged volcano spirit-

85

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-The funny thing about energy is it's curious association with time and space. Usually, energy falls in line with natural cause-and-effect, following the rules, even if they're bent. The funny thing about this situation, though, is that the energy happens to be very, very angry.-

Heatran: <NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE CAGED BY MORTAL HANDS!>

-For those knowledgeable of Heatran technique, they might recognize the fact that the magma swirling is showing some rather "stormy" behavior, and that it seems to be bending around the cage and going straight for the airship - and Zrone.-

86

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-For the sake of convenience, let's say team Shinobi fainted during the battle and landed somewhere out of range of the current laser vs heatran attack-

-Shinobi has just come back to the land of the conscious though-

Shinobi:  <That's what was powering the lab?!>

87

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-Noticing the attack-

Magma Storm!

88

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Jacob: Tagg, I have some experience with Heatran but not a lot, do you know in the hell it's doing right now???

.... Oh!! Guys take cover!

-His team throws up Protects-

-Zrone is screaming and running away, and all his mons take up formation around him and use Protect-

Zrone: ACTIVATE AVALON!

-While the Airship's shield glows, it glows brighter and brighter and several cords coming off of the ship, hiss, spark, then explode, and the barrier itself flickers-

WHAT?!

-A robotic voice answers-

Legion: <Unable to activate it fast enough, Barrier absorbed damage, but took catastrophic damage. Unable to run at full capacity, but enough to hold off Heatran.>

Zrone: Then WHAT DO I- -He's cut off by the Protects of his team failing and being bathes in a storm of magma-

-He screams in pain but after a few moments a hand emerges from the storm and climbs up the wall-

Zrone: You.... -His mons recalled, his faceplate shattered, a half melted face looks at the group, wires and cords exposed, his armor also melted through, giving a look at a steel ribcage enclosing semi-organic parts-

I will NOT forget this... AND YOU!

-Looks at the Heatran-

IN THE END YOU SERVED ME ANYWAYS, YOU USELESS HULK OF ROCK!!!

-Waves his staff in the air and leaps towards his airship which continues to fire at the Heatran-

89

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Aaron: <Just what are you?>

-Grits teeth-

A cyborg.

90

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-The Greninja quick recalls his other, fainted, mons and takes cover from the the storm before looking to see the results of the attack-

-He does not like what he sees-

Shinobi:  <Is he...?>

<Wait, Zrone is a cyborg?  Seriously?!>

-Beat-

<I guess Munn isn't the only one with metal parts>

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-The Heatran, in a rage, continues to launch it's Magma Storm. However, she doesn't completely forget about Zrone's escape.-

Heatran: !

-You see, Heatran aren't especially known to be very social creatures. They are also incredibly long lived, while also not having quite as many powers as the greater Legendaries, like Groudon, or the mystical powers of the Eons. So, they have a plethora of free time, with which they are said to practice...-

Heatran: <CATCH!>

-Zrone might notice something rapidly approaching his general direction with surprisingly precise velocity and speed.-

92

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Jacob: Holy hell... this guy is decades ahead of us tech wise... how did he do all that to himself???

Zrone: -Running up the side of the airship, sees the rock- .... DAMMIT!

-Waves his staff at the rock and it slows, but the staff's light strains, then bursts, the energy from the staff, washing over the entire island, and also tearing a hold in Zrone's side- GAH!!!

-And by hole, I mean it tore his lower half off-

-He claws up the boarding platform, dragging his lower body with him by his spine-

You... your faces... your names... I WILL NOT FORGET THIS...!!!! -Claws into the airship, which detaches and starts rising into the air-

93

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-To Jacob-

I think the real question is how he managed to survive all that.

94

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-The Heatran rears back, a deathly red glow beginning to form in it's gaping jaw...-

Heatran: <YOU WILL NOT GET THE CHANCE YOU CUR-!>

-At least, until the cage gives way, dropping the Heatran into the lava and interrupting her buildup.-

Heatran: <CAN YOU NOT EVEN CONSTRUCT A CAGE RIGHT ENOUGH FOR ME TO ENACT MY VENGEANCE?!>

-She leaps from the magma and begins rapidly crawling up the side of the chimney.-

95

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Shinobi:  <That...  Just happened>

-The Greninja is just staring wide-eyed-

<What did I get into?>  -he mutters quietly to himself-

96

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Jacob: ..... Yeah that's a good question. Maybe he built in redundant systems to keep himself alive if something like this happened? ... Which begs the question why he thought something might happen like this.

-Looks at the Heatran cage- .... You think we can calm him down?

-Meanwhile the airship shoots at the chimney opening to try collapsing the volcano in on the Heatran-

97

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

I think this particular Heatran is a her.

Aaron: <I say we stay out of the way of the angry volcano spirit.>

98

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Jacob: How can you tell?? It looks exactly like the male one from Orre to me! Please don't let her have heard that...

99

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

-The chimney opening shatters and attempts to cave in, causing the Heatran to backslide as the chimney side begins to become unstable. In her rage, the Heatran struggles to rush upwards for little progress... when in actuality, if she had just jumped down back into the magma, the sudden influx of rock would have likely given her enough force to leap the distance out of the chimney.-

Re: Boyeland Volcano and Zrone's Lab Raid

Shinobi:  <maybe she's hungry after being stuck in there for who knows how long?  I have some snacks in my bag...>
