(( Yea, I saw her art in the Fan Thread as well. Lol ))
The Frongel wasn’t too big, but definitely big enough to be much more dangerous than the rest of the frongels. Its jumping power was probably much more potent than the average frongel as well.
(( What can I say? Frongel is a fun word to say. ))
“Okay, it’s obvious what we have to do, I can lure him around with this keycard… While you activate the traps THAT I SAY.” said Mikey, still clutching the keycard, and eyeing the big Frongel, which was bouncing on the spot, apparently eager to chase Mikey once he started running.
“Yay! I won’t let you down! Let’s bring down the Frongel with our teamwork!” exclaimed Charm, ready to push any of the 3 buttons on the panel, and keeping out of sight of the frongel.
Mikey tightened his grip around the card and began sprinting to the left, and the Frongel pounced and landed directly behind Mikey, and waited there for about a second before trying to pounce on top of Mikey once again. It seemed that the Frongel had a bit of a delay between each jump, which was the perfect time to begin calling out traps. Mikey waited a split second in a puddle and watched as the Frongel leapt forward, and Mikey called out “WATER!” Just as he jumped out of the water, and the Frongel landed right in the middle of the puddle. Charm pressed the blue button and the Frongel received a potent electric shock.
“That was great! Keep it up!” encouraged Charm, as the lit blue light went dark, “it seems that we have to use the rest of the traps at least once before we can use the same type again!”
“Good to know! “ replied Mikey, as he jumped away as the frongel prepared to pounce again. This time Mikey repeated the process for the nozzles, and the frongel was engulfed in flames. Two lights were dulled, and there was one left, and Mikey was waiting under the indentions on the floor. The frongel leaped, and Mikey quickly dodged, and Charm pressed the last button, and the frongel was impaled by spikes. Being overwhelmed by 3 elements, the frongel completely exploded, with purple zenny refractors flying every which way. Charm quickly began sweeping them up.
“Hah, I think we’ll work well together.” Laughed Mikey, as Charm gathered every one of the zenny.
“Yay! Glad you approve!” cheered Charm.
(( oh great, more references. ))
“Oh hey! The orange refractor’s shield disappeared!” exclaimed Mikey. He walked over to the pedestal.
[Mikey? Mikey answer me! Are you still there?] Asked REI through the radio. Mikey had looked looked to the side, and Charm had also. Mikey looked back at Charm and smiled.
“We’re just fine!” replied Mikey, “had a tiny bit of reaverbot action, like you mentioned, but we toke care of it! We found a key-card, and a pretty big refractor!”

"A card key huh? I wonder what that's for...?" REI asked not just to Mikey, but to himself as well.
Mikey replied.
"Well, best get out of there now, I am no longer detecting any reaverbot activity in the ruins. Shouldn't take long I estimate."
[Roger!] Mikey said, before the radio communication ended.
"Mikey should be returning to the surface within 5-7 minutes." REI said, turning to Anima. 'He found a refractor as well as a card key."
"Card key you say?" She asked, crossing her arms and looking down. "...why do I get the feeling... nevermind, my mind must be trailing. C'mon, let's try to get the supplies again."
"HEY, WATCH OUT!!"
Anima heard the cry of a girl from out of nowhere, and as she was about to see who shouted it, she found herself having to jump out of the way from an oncoming Juuraid. "WHOA!!"
REI quickly floated upwards to avoid getting hit by the reaverbot's 'arms'. "A Juuraid! Where did that come from?!"
"I don't know." She said, getting up. "I doubt it's a welcoming committee though."
And as suddenly as the Juuraid appeared, what looked like a buster shot was aimed for the reaverbot, and it fell to the ground. Standing on the other side, where the source of the shot came from, was what looked like a 13-year old girl, holding up a hand-held buster gun.
"You two alright?" She asked, putting the buster gun away.
"Yes, thank you." Anima replied back. "That was a close one I must admit..."
"Hey, ya gotta be aware constantly. Y'all never know when a reav-bot gonna pop up out of nowhere." The girl said, looking at REI with interest.
"D-don't look at me! I'm docile!" REI quickly remarked.
"I can tell that. Anyways, who you guys?" She asked, tilting her head abit.
"My name's Anima." Anima grabbed REI and held him close. "And this is my partner, REI."
"Pleased to meet you Miss..." REI paused, hoping to get a response from the girl.
"My name's Ally. Ally Bonne." Ally soon responded back.
"Bonne?" Anima asked to herself. "REI, isn't that the-"
"We'll ask that later." REI quickly interrupted her. "We have another partner with us. His name's Mikey. Currently, he's on a dig, and should be returning to the surface right about... now."
As REI said that, the doors to the entrance of the ruins opened up, and Mikey along with Charm, disembarked from the elevator.

Stepping out of the elevator, Mikey shielded his eyes from the bright sun, and saw Ally, Anima, and REI waiting for them.
"Mistress Anima...?" wondered Charm, taking a few steps closer.
"MISTRESS ANIMA!" he shouted, sprinting over to Anima and hugging her leg, "I've finally found you! After all of these long long years!" his eyes began to swell with tears again.
"Aw, don't cry, it's okay um..." she shot a quick look at REI.
"Charm." REI answered.
"Charm! That's right. So you've been looking for me?..." asked Anima. Charm was puzzled.
"Mistress Anima? You do not recognize me? Oh my you must've had your memory erased!" he cried. A chill went through Anima's spine.
(( *passes dialogue baton to Anima... :3* ))

"My memory... erased?" Her voice was somewhat shaky.
"Are you alright Miss Anima?" REI asked with concern in his voice.
"Ye-yeah. Sorry..." Anima quickly dismissed. "Just..."
"Yeah don't worry about it." Ally said, giving her a pat on the back. "Whatever happened, lil' Charm may have clues as to what happened."
"Speaking of what. Charm, what are you supposed to be anyways?" Anima asked, kneeling down to Charm's level.
"I'm supposed to be your memory storage unit." Charm said. "Actually, I fell from somewhere and you found me, and modified me."
"Explains the symbol on yon head." Ally pointed out.
"By the way," Mikey suddenly cut in, directing his attention to Ally. "Who are you?"
"I'm Ally. Ally Bonne."
"Ally... Bonne?" Mikey was somewhat confused ans surprised at the same time.

"Yes... Ally Bonne," she replied, "Charm is actually one of the servbots we dropped off a Draught several years ago."
"'we'? Are you here by yourself?" asked Mikey.
"Naw, I was just rowing along in a raft... But I'll save that story for another time; right now I'm more interested in this... touching reunion" she said, Charm .
"If you don't remember anything about the Mono Islands then it's fortunate that I finally found my way back to you!" Charm cried.
"How? What can you tell me?" asked Anima, completely bewildered.
"I can't tell you much, but what I CAN do is give you back your memory of everything..." explained Charm, "You made me your Memory Storage Unit..." he repeated.
"My... Memory... Storage... Unit..." Anima repeated, slowly.
"To think, the adventures in the city and the jokes along the way in our little ship, when we decided to go 'sightseeing' and we happened upon your home islands." stated Mikey, with a hand on his chin.
"That reminds me, you found a sort of keycard while you were down in the ruins of this island, right?" asked Ally.
"This islet's name is Harmony, and I did. The keycard represents the beaches, to an extent." replied Mikey.

"I see. May I see it?" Anima asked, holding her hand out.
Mikey took the card key out of his pocket, and handed it to her. She took a closer look at the said card key.
"He's right!" REI said, examining the cardkey closer with Anima. "It has the same color as the sand on the beaches!"
"You think that Anima may've made it?" Ally asked in curiosity.
"I... think I did." Anima replied back, somewhat dazed.
"Miss Anima, I think it may be best to recover your memory, to see what the card keys are for." REI implied.
"N-no! It's okay." Anima said. Another chill had gone through her spine, as if she didn't want to remember at all.
"If you insist..." REI muttered abit.
Ally thought she heard the distinct hum of an engine somewhere. At first she thought it was Mikey and Anima's ship, but it was too faint. One glance up, and saw a duck-shaped ship. "Oh you gotta be kidding! Glyde's cronies??!!" She whispered to herself.
(( That's what I think of the birdbot-drache thing, it reminds me of a duck XD ))

"Well, whenever is fine, but I'm sad that you don't remember me!" said Charm, tears beginning to form.
"Oh yeah, what about this refractor? I don't think it's big enough to repair the ship but it's pretty big nevertheless," suggested Mikey, spinning the refractor on top of his finger with skill.
"Speaking of refractors and keycards, shouldn't we be looking for more?" asked Ally, getting hopeful.
"Yeah, that'd be nice, actually. OH, I also found this green eye down in the ruins, along with a few funds." added Mikey
"The next island is the southwestern island... just a short walk across that bridge. The Mika Islet." Stated Anima, almost automatically.
"She knows! She knows! I always knew I'd make the names stick!" declared Charm, apparently happy.
Shaking her head, Anima took the zenny and refractor from Mikey, "You're right Mikey, it's not that big, but with some luck, me and REI will be able to infuse the zenny into the refractor and make it big enough for the ship. We'll be able to power the ship, and with some luck, get some fuel materials as well. We haven't made much progress however... So many distractions." she added.
"Hey, it's fine. REI is a fine spotter, although with a little more equipment, he'll probably be able to do an even better job. But if he's going to be helping to gather fuel materials, maybe Charm and Ally should come with me to the Mika Islet, no?" replied Mikey, leaning up against a palm tree now.
"Hah, you seem really laid back, but it's good to see you seem somewhat capable with a gun." she remarked, noting Mikey's little standard buster. Mikey turned red when she mentioned this, and his mind began racing, trying to figure out where he'll get stronger gear.
"Relax, I'm not all that good with long-ranged weapons, but I still brought one for the mountains supposidly the Mika islet is made out of. You're a dead-eye, right?" she added, beginning to rummage through her pack.
"If... that's what you want to call me, then yes." Mikey replied uncertainly.
"I can handle blasters my size!" declared Charm, taking the buster from Mikey.
"Yeah, y'all won't believe what i'm capable of packing around with me," declared Ally, throwing an instant strike rifle (buster-style [scoped]) to Mikey, plus a Power Raiser and Range Booster to Charm. She then slung her bag over her shoulder and picked up her Blaster Pistol.
"Well, shall we?" she suggested, beginning to walk over to the bridge to Mika Islet.
"I'll tell you as much as I can about whatever we run into!" declared Charm, catching up to Ally, "I haven't been to the Mountain Islet in quite some time!
Mikey didn't move right away. He instead looked to Anima.
"Looks like things took an interesting turn. Now we're exploring the ruins not only for parts and riches, but also for your past..." said Mikey.
"I'm not entirely comfortable with all of this just yet either. For now, the only way to go is forward. I'll work on fusing the zenny into the refractor while REI gathers the materials I tell him to. We should be at the entrance to the Mika Islet before you are... It's just a four-story high mountain." replied Anima, not looking directly at Mikey.
"Yeah, I'm not too worried, the mountains actually sounds like a good place to try out this new baby," he said, addressing the instant-strike rifle, "good luck."
"You too... Mikey." she smiled. With that, Mikey ran off, to catch up with Charm and Ally.
"I feel so ignored!" QQed REI.
"OH! Hah! Sorry REI! I completely forgot you were even there!" Laughed Anima, heading towards the ship with the zenny and refractor in hand. REI just muttered to himself, as he stayed outside in the general area, to begin looking for fuel materials.

"Just forgot I was there... yeah right. More focused chatting with Mikey there...." REI continued to mutter to himself, continuing to look for fuel materials.
He looked at the endless horizon sea, the wind blowing abit. Even though he didn't mind helping Anima unearth her past, he couldn't help but feel that something like that shouldn't be unveiled.
Especially what lies within Centria Islet.
"Can't help but feel something doesn't seem right about this..." REI muttered to himself. He looked at his copper colored hand and arm. He had been Anima's friend and partner for a long while, since the day she repaired him, and gave him another chance at living.
What kind of a digger would sneak up on a Miitan, gut them, and leave them to die? Were the thoughts that ran through his head. So what if I am considered 'aberrant'? The other reavers knew...
"Get him, kekeke!!!" REI froze in place at the familiar sound. One glance look behind him-.
"REI??" Anima looked up from her work. Something didn't feel right. She immediately took a dash for outside. When she got there, REI was gone, nothing but a pile of fuel material was left where he was.
"REI!!!!!"
Ally could hear Anima call out for her Miitan partner. "Mikey you hear that?"

"Yeah, I do! O.o" he replied, looking back. A funny-looking ship toke off and was heading straight for the Mika ruins entrance. Mikey aimed and fired at the ship, and it shook violently, but didn't fall. Reloading, he didn't take aim again, realizing that REI could be on that ship...
"Charm, head back to Anima and help her continue gathering the materials. We're going to keep an eye on that ship." said Ally, her eyes not leaving the Birdbot Ship.
"Yes Miss Ally!" replied Charm, sprinting back across the bridge.
"All the more reason to get there faster..." observed Mikey, leaning forward and beginning to climb the steep slope in front of them.
"Everything's going to be just fine. As long as Anima knows that we're on the case and doesn't get distracted by the absence of REI, everything should continue as scheduled. I also passed Charm a walkie-talkie headset while you were aiming. Not a bad shot by the way." she replied, putting the pistol away to free up her hands, as the ledge up ahead was narrow.
"Yeah, I suppose that makes sense, and thanks." added Mikey, slipping the rifle over his shoulder into his backpack, and, mimicking Ally, edging his way across the ledge.
"You're pretty good with rifles, but you don't seem to be much of a rockclimber," she hollered, already at the second level of the mountain.
"I sure can try though, can't I?" replied Mikey, beginning to put some of his agility to use, reaching her again rather quickly, as she was waiting, "but let's not turn this into a race."
"Don't give me any ideas, now." she said, with a grin. The next obstacle was a cross-over roof, similar to monkey bars.
[Things are back on schedule down here, how close to the entrance of the ruins are you?] asked Charm through the walkie-Talkie.
~Meanwhile~
"Kekekekekekeke! That was very well-planned out!" said the leader birdbot, addressing REI, who was in an electric cage.
"That's right! Now the next portion of the plan can be put into place!" said the Gruff.
"Oh number two, stop talking! Nobody here likes you!" cried high-pitch.
"Unfortunately, we were shot once again while trying to get away, repairs will be much faster on the ground." stated the low-rank, still monitoring the gauges.
"Head for the entrance of the Mika Ruins," commanded Gruff, "we'll repair the damage there and figure out what to do next."
"Sounds like a plan. You make a fine advisor! Keke!" replied the Leader.
"He also makes a fine thorn in my side!" snickered High-Pitch.
"That's it! C'mere you!" screamed Gruff, dissapearing in a cloud of dust once he pounced onto H-Pitch.
(( Yeah, I might have to go back a post and have Mikey make a visit to the ship. He needs a back-pack. More Rock-climbish to me. ))

"Let me go you crazed chickens!" REI snapped at them, his eyes were glowing red as well as his body. He was mad.
"Who you calling a chicken huh?!" High-Pitch glared at him.
"He means you!" Gruff said, whopping him on the head.
"Enough you two!!" Leader shouted, High-Pitch and Gruff got back to their places.
"Now what do you want with me?!" REI demanded to know.
~With Charm~
[We're already half-way up the second level, reaching the third soon. Let's just hope that REI's alright...] Mikey replied back.
"What would they want with him?" Charm asked, looking at Anima, whom had the expression of worry on her face.
[REI's a reprogrammed reaverbot right? They could use him to unlock doors in the ruins. A cheap way to beat us if you ask me.] Mikey said.
[Yo Charm.] Ally soon spoke over the comms. [Is Anima worried? Tell her to not worry. We'll find her lil' buddy soon enough. That much I can promise right now.]
"Yes Miss Ally." Charm said, looking at Anima again. "Ally said to now worry, she and Mikey'll find REI soon enough."
"That's good. I'm just worried about him handling anything about combat." She said. "He's not a fighter..."
"He'll be alright, don't worry." Charm said, trying to calm her down.
"It's not just that... but what's in the mountain... it's the reaverbot in the mountain I remember... REI cannot handle it..."

I was sleeping deeply in my cozy quiet cottage on Mika island
Dreaming of my past life... life in the city... life with her...
I was awakened by the sound of an airship landing around the ruins nearby and of a high pitched voice shouting loudly at some captors
"ARRGH! You chickens! Let go of me!"
there were also a handful of slightly different voices I couldn't make out well.
"Well Exo, you can't go back there now all that's left of that town is a memory."
I let out a sigh..
"Let's go see what's up"
I grabbed my old oscillating blade arm and re-attached for the first time in years. I tried to spin it again *whirrr- whirrr* "yep, works like a charm" I thought
I walked out side and saw a mii-tan being pulled into the Mika ruins by some small duck like robots.
"Well that's certainly interesting... I'm definitely going to check this out"
I walked over to the ruins and waited patiently for the lift to come back up to the surface.

"Mikey look!" Ally pointed to a person waiting at the top of the mountain.
"Who's that?" He shielded his eyes to try and get a better look at who it is.
"I dunno, but they might help us out!" She remarked, increasing the speed of her climbing. "C'mon slowpoke!"
"Wh-hey! Wait up!" Mikey began to climb after her.
Once she thought she was close enough, Ally gave out a holler. "HEY, YO!!"

After quite some time...
"Okay, I think all of the preparations are finished! The zenny has been infused into the orange refractor, making it bigger and its color was hued into red. The organic materials were made successfully into grade A environmentally friendly fuel, time to begin lift-off checks!" declared Anima, on board the ship.
"Power: on, main core reaching optimal temperature, cooling units online and on standby, computer reads no hostiles in sight, stabilizers at 80%! Safety lock: Check! Refrigerator..." marked off Charm, "oh my goodness, the refrigerator!" He ran off-screen for a few seconds, returning with an apple.
"Refrigerator is online!" he added, throwing the apple to Anima, who caught it.
"Let's light this candle!" Anima declared, taking a dramatic bite out of the apple. Charm turned the key and pressed the button and the ship lifted slowly into the air. Anima threw the apple over her shoulder without looking and it landed right in the trash can. She toke the wheel and directed the ship over to the top of Mika's Mountain.
(( Hey, at least it wasn't a pokeball. ))
~Fifteen minutes previously~
"Hmm?" wondered Exo, as the elevator re-appeared. He ran to the edge and saw a couple figures, but they were too far away to make out any facial features.
"Are they going into the ruins?" came a faint question from the first figure.
"Yeah! I'm going after them!" replied Exo, giving the figures a thumbs up, then headed for the elevator, not even bothering to worry about the birdbots' ship.
~Meanwhile, down there...~
"Eh, whoever it was apparently understood our situation. The birdbots are already taking REI into the Mika ruins. We HAVE to catch up to them!" urged Ally, continuing to climb the face of the mountain as fast as she could.
"Even if we continue at this fast-paced rate, it'll take us fifteen minutes to get up there!" replied Mikey, panting and sweating a bit.
"It's settled then. This expedition is now a race. Pass me up if you can!" she laughed, now putting forth her full effort. Mikey had no intention of losing by a long shot, or being split up for that matter.
"By the way, I'm going to raid their ship once we get up there, and see if I can find any equipment worth turning into weaponry... and be careful!" he added.
"Yeah! Careful I don't make you cry when I win!" she replied, skipping a handhold.
"Oh I don't think so!" declared Mikey, keeping right on her tail.

Once Anima had reached Mika Islet, she hadn't spotted Mikey or Ally at all. "They must've gotten to the ruins alright."
"What was it you were talking about earlier? The reaverbot in the mountain?" Charm asked.
"The reaverbot... I don't remember what it was. All I remember is that it thinks of nothing at diggers on it's turf. in fact, it may seem docile. But once one takes the item it guards..." She shuddered at the thought of what happens after that. "C'mon! Let's find a safe place to land, and help Mikey in the ruins."
"Yes Miss Anima!" Charm said.
Anima had found a safe place to set the ship down. Once they had landed, she disembarked the ship, with Charm following her. "Power + Range booster with you Charm?"
"Yep." He said.
"Good. Let's go!" She said, getting ont othe elevator platform, along with Charm, and both descended into the mountain.

A few moments later
"AH!" cried out Ally, finally reaching the top of the ledge. She climbed up and dusted herself off.
"Now that wasn't so bad, was it Mikey?" she asked, as he pulled himself up as well.
"I suppose the pain is supposed to be a good thing." Mikey replied, flexing his arms a little, "aw man, is that our ship?"
"Yup, it looks as if Anima and Charm have already headed inside, thinking we were already there, but clearly not bothering to check the radio. hehe." replied Ally.
"Ugh all right, I'm going to head for our ship and begin using the spotters equipment. I had planned to raid the birdbot's ship to try and search for weapons or gadgets which could possibly increase the floor scanning range, but this changes everything." Mikey said, running up to where the ship was.
"Yeah yeah, address the techy thoughts to yourself as you do them. Make a novel for me to read later; and call me once you get the radio set up." she replied, walking towards the entrance. Mikey shot a glance after her, but sighed and continued up to the ship.
In the pilot's room, he turned on the radio, and got 4 channels ready; one for Ally, another to scan for Charm and Anima, one to scan for the mysterious helper, and the last to hopefully try and contact REI. With some luck, REI shouldn't have to speak out loud to reply to the radio, as he is a reaverbot of sorts...
Next, Mikey sat down right in front of the computer and locked onto Ally's signal the fastest. The computer was scanning every floor, and had an outline of all of them, but no reading of what was in them. It was a huge spiraling ruin, plenty of corridors and plenty of rooms, leading straight into the base of the mountain.
"Oh boy..." Mikey thought to himself.
"Okay, that was fast. The spotter's equipment is in tip top shape, and I have a map. I can guide you on your way down. Good luck!" Mikey said through the radio.
[Good to hear that, tech boy.] laughed Ally.
"I also have a good view of the remaining birdbots, if they try anything funny..." thought Mikey.
