The elevator door opened to BF6, which appeared to be one huge, dimly lit room with only one other door, which sat at the other end.
"I've got a bad feeling about this..." Mikey stated with a worried tone in his voice.
"Stay alert, a Reaverbot could be crashing through here any time now..." I replied, scanning the room. Of course, not long after I said that a Hanmaru doll punched his way through the door opposite the room. The wall caved in behind him, leaving no quick route of escape.
"So much for running. We'll have to take this big lug down and clear the rubble later!" I yelled from excitement, even though Mikey stood mere feet away.
"Any plans?" Mikey inquired.
"Well, he's only got one eye, right? So he can only see so much at a time!"
"So you're saying we split up and attack him from both sides?"
"Precisely! Now you're learning!" I said to him as I started running to his right, taking care to keep some distance from me and those giant club arms.
"Here goes nothing!" Mikey yelled as he ran to the left of the over sized Reaver, who had just began turning towards me.

I knew the Hanmaru Doll's armor wasn't as strong as it was made out to be, but Snake's enthusiasm was certainly worrying me. I was back to aiming, but this time, without a scope. The doll was still tilted towards Snake, and was advancing slowly, but I quickly used the end of the PB's barrel as the crosshair, and fired straight into its eye. The shot exploded, but the doll was only blinded, I had almost expected its head to be blown clean off. "Uhm... what the hell?" I asked, examining the buster. for some reason, the igniter seemed to have been weakened. "Oops, guess I sacrificed the shot power as well as the firing rate. my bad. " he replied, running after the rampaging doll, which was now slamming its arms randomly, running around the length of the room. I quickly readjusted the ammo to hold 3 shots, thus increasing the power. 10 seconds of time wasted, but Snake seemed to be "showing that doll who's boss". "Yeah! Pow Pow! Take some of these!" he was shouting, repeatedly firing missile after missile at the doll. Smoke began pouring from it in large quantities. I ran over with the newly-configured buster, and aimed straight for the middle of it, and fired at point-blank range. The explosion was much bigger this time, and the doll stopped smoking, and started shaking. It shook more violently, and a bunch of explosions surrounded it, as it dissapeared in a white light, leaving nothing but Zenny in our wake. I dove for the blue energy cubes, but Snake snatched the big one I was heading for. "Hey, hey, you're not the only one using ammo-consuming weapons anymore. " said Snake "Ehh... I know I just... hate leaving them lying about, they just seem to dissapear too damn quickly," I replied, diving and snatching the rest of the refractors and cubes up in 1-2 strokes. "Hah, you'd do well as a human-vaccum," he joked. I turned a little pink as I threw him another energy cube for his buster. I turned and looked at the pile of rubble where the door used to be. I took a look at my buster, then I looked at the pile again, then back at the buster, and an evil grin began to form. I tore out two of the ammo cartridges, and modified the igniter and barrel, in turn. The firepower had to have been monstrously expanded. "Hey hey, not a bad idea. we could blow that pile of rubble right out of the way," snake observed, taking quite a few steps back. I was pretty nervous too, but I was too excited to show it. I aimed right at the center of the pile of the rubble and pulled the trigger.

Exhausted our party approached SIM.
42 spoke first: "I'm here SIM, what now?"
SIM replied: "Alright, I can see you guys are kinda tired here. I have a few energy canteen's in the fridge and some ammo cartridges in the back. Go get some and come right back."
"Thanks a ton SIM!"
"No problem guys."
We walked back and quickly restocked on ammo and energy.
Since 42 was resting on a chair and Purifier was having trouble recharging his flame thrower I spoke to SIM. "Alright SIM anything else you want us to do?"
"Yeah, we are all going into the ruins now."
SIM reached over to shut the blast doors and I yelled out
"WAIT!, I think I saw a guy out there!"
Purifier said "it's probably just a sharukurusu..."
42 spoke next "Purifier is probably right, but Exo does have a point. I think you should stay here and direct anyone else in the city down into the ruins."
SIM sighed deeply and then said "Alright, but before you go I think you should use the scrap around here to make yourself a much better weapon than those busters."
He was right, there was trash all over the place. No doubt from SIM's liberal use of the hyper-shell.
42 smiled some and then started browsing through the parts present.
I picked up the shield of a Gorubeshu and decided to use it in conjunction with Dia's overpowering grenade arm.
I looked over to 42 and watched him sift through the various parts.
He picked up the lightning chamber of a Fingerii stared at it for a moment. He looked back up and picked up the rapid fire chamber of a Karubun. He stared at them for a moment and then I saw his eyes light up.
He grabbed a long straight part with a sphere at the end of it. He walked back inside and picked up some tools while Purifier and I were wondering exactly what he was up to.
He reshaped one of the busters so that the lightning chamber would fit into it and then attached the rapid fire barrel to the lightning chamber. Lastly he fashioned the long metal rod on the end of it. Then, out of some random junk he made 6 battery like things and put them into the barrel of the rapid fire part. He grabbed a bunch of energy cubes and used them to start up the lightning chamber.
It looked impressive but we had no idea what he planned to use it for.
Purifier spoke first "look's cool 42, what are you going to do with it?"
42 only said "This"
42 jumped out side and walked right towards an oncoming Sharukurusu.
Purifier shouted at him "ARE YOU CRAZY!? GET BACK IN HERE!"
He sidestepped when the reaverbot charged and then moved his weapon towards it's long arm. There was a bright flash and a very loud whip like sound.
The Sharukurusu was standing motionless. It's eye was dim. After a moment it's eye re-lit and 42 moved his rod towards it's head *CRACK* knocking it down and then towards it's chest *CRACK* killing it.
SIM said to him "very creative, but you should hurry up and go now"
Purifier and I also complimented him before we headed into the abyss.

The blast had formed an explosion so menacing, it could have been a 3rd earthquake. The cavern rumbled as I was thrown backwards onto my ass by the ricochet AND the explosion. All of the rubble was gone, leaving just a huge gap in the wall.
"Hah, now that was some impressive weapon modification," observed Snake, as I readjusted the buster into the 3-cartridge mode.
"That wasn't very pretty, but it sure was faster than a drill arm," I replied, as I started walking towards the gap. The next room was a fairly narrow hallway. How did Danny get past the Hanmaru Doll? Do they reappear that quickly?
"Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder what Danny could be doing down there as well," said Snake.
"I'm beginning to think he might actually be in danger. The Shining Laser is strong, but it slows you down when you fire. It's a pretty powerful weapon I've read about," I replied, getting anxious again.
"You're going to die from anxiety if you keep that up," laughed Snake, "calm down, I'm right here with you, and we're closer to the 10th floor now that the Hanmaru Doll's out of the way."
"Right. 4 floors until 10..." I was ready. Together, me and Snake continued through the maze. ______ reason fer edit: the grammar drove me crazy.

Strolling into the cave, we saw two paths leading right and left. We also noticed Snake's Energy Sword was stuck in the ceiling... Being that he was my younger brother, I became worried at the thought of him unarmed in the cave...
"Don't worry, Purifier." Sim spoke, "I've put a communicator on the shield I gave to Mikey. They're fine."
"Why don't we have communicators?" 42 inquired. "That would save us a bit of grief, Sim." "I only had one pair of walkie-talkies." Sim answered.
"Fair enough. Did they tell you which way they went?" 42 replied.
"They went left. So obviously we'll go right." Sim crossed his arms and started walking towards the right path. The three of us followed him into the dark corridor that awaited us.

what, is everybody thinking deeply about the plot? too busy IRL or something? no... it's tourettes syndrome. *sigh* Perhaps it's time for a twist... _____________________________ It was strange. the Elevator down to BF7 was just behind the next set of doors. I felt a chill, as if there were nothing but Commander Reavers left. Snake stepped straight onto the elevator, but I hesitated. "I thought there would be more to this floor. Are the next 3 floors going to be bosses straight through?" I wondered. "There's only one way to find out right? Find out for ourselves." replied Snake, with a grin. I smiled back. "Yep, let's go!" I jumped straight onto the elevator and we went down to BF7. The elevator reached the bottom of a small room, and we could already hear rumbling coming from the other side of the door before us. With our Active and Powered Busters at the ready, me and Snake dashed through the door, and we were astounded by the sight of what was happening. A floating swordsman seemed to be putting up one hell of a fight against three Karumuna Bash Bots, but they clearly had him outnumbered. He looked old, but he was fast, dodging and teleporting, but it's clear he was getting tired. He eventually appeared right next to me and Snake, and all three of the Karu's stopped and began glaring. "'Sup guys. These reaverbots have me in a bit of a bind. Help clear them out?" he asked, hardly batting an eye from the panting Karus. There wasn't much choice in the matter. All of the Karus looked blood-thirsty and ready to strike, clearly waiting to see what the three of us would do. "Sure," replied Snake, rushing to the left, while the swordsman drifted to the right, each of them meeting a Karu in the progress. I stared straight ahead, and the 3rd Karumuna seemed to have an evil grin, as he knelt down, then sprung forward. I quickly raised the buster, and, not even bothering to aim; fired a shot. It hit the Karu right in the kisser, and it fell down mid-flight. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Snake firing missiles at the 1st Karu and repeatedly knocking it down; the swordsman seemed to be holding the 2nd Karu in place with some kind of Wind while repeatedly throwing swords at the it. The hits didn't seem very effective, but he sure was fast at doing it. The 3rd Karu decided to try something new and "used flamethrower", which I anticipated when it jumped back a mile, and easily dodged. I aimed at the now far away Karu and shot it in the kisser once again, and it then exploded. Snake fired the last of his missiles at his Bash and it finally exploded. The floating swordsman stopped throwing swords at his Karumuna Bash, and instead, moved into a meditative positon, and concentrated. The wind seemed to form around the Bash, and rotated faster and faster until the Bash turned red then exploded, completely helpless from the bind. I swept the floor as usual and gathered every zenny, energy cube, and energy crystal there was, and threw a majority of the crystals to Snake. "All right, that wasn't so bad. The Name's Bola," said the swordsman, having never touched the ground throughout the entire fight, and still afloat as of yet. I stared at him, simply amazed at Bola, every characteristic about him seemed to be much different than the conventional people at MLU city. Snake didn't seem worried about this development, but I couldn't help but wonder... Why was he here? "Have either of you happen to see a big guy, kind of like me, but not very light on his feet? intimidating armor? Anything like that?" Asked Bola. "Not yet, but we're looking for someone as well. Have you seen anybody who looks like us, but not nearly as naughty, carrying a really interesting and foreboding laser?" I asked, finally getting the guts to speak up. Bola shrugged, "Maybe I have. I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again- really soon; and don't be so alarmed," he added, as I braced my buster after hearing his tone. "I'm not one to plan anything ahead of time. I have nothing against either of you personally. However, the rotund fellow I mentioned earlier has something else in mind. With that said, I must go." he added, just before he raised his arms and disappeared. "I've read about Bola, he's not exactly a bad person, but he's still an infamous pirate. He made it sound like Danny was in worse danger than we thought." I said, clearly anxious again. "Oh come on. You must not have heard about the mining incident that happened five years ago," began Snake, "I personally wasn't there, but Purifier told me about it. There were three Karamuna bashes, and Danny's Shining Laser made really short work of them. If Danny still has that laser and he's somewhere down here, I'm not too worried about him. All we know is that the Shining Laser and a single Hyper Cartridge were missing from the armory, right when Danny disappeared, a day before the first earthquake..." "That's really interesting... We have to keep going down deeper. I'm not one to doubt our Master, but there's too many unanswered questions." I said, running ahead to the door opposite the way we came in. "That's right. If Bola's running around here, Klaymoor is probably the 'intimidating rotund fellow' that Bola mentioned. I just hope Purifier and the others don't run into him first... I think we got the easy end of the stick just now..." replied Snake, as he mashed the elevator button to take us to the 8th floor.

The path to the right yielded a dead end room with treasure chests and a gaping hole in the floor.
"Well would you look at that?" 42 smirked. "Maybe one of these have an item to power up my buster!"
We hastily opened up the treasure chests in the room, searching for parts and zenny to split between us. 42 found a power raiser part. Many of the other chests were empty, as if someone else had looted the place. But why would they leave a power raiser behind? Those fetch a pretty penny if you don't have a buster to use it with...
We gathered around the last chest in the room, waiting to see what was inside. Exo flipped open the lid, and the chest made a "BEE-BEEP" noise.
"A mimic?! Dammit, why didn't we see this coming?!" 42 screamed.
The mimic did not take his time in attacking us, and promptly launched a few bombs at us. Too close to dodge the bombs, we were all hit by the blast, and went spiraling down the hole in the floor... I blacked out when I hit the floor below.
A few hours had passed before I became conscious again.
"Is everyone ok?" I grunted painfully.
"Yeah." Sim grumbled. "That was damn foolish of us!"
"Don't stress about that." 42 said, remaining calm, "We've got to find a way out of this pit."
It was a wide, cavernous area. Skeletons of former diggers laid around the floor, as well as the bodies of countless smashed Reaverbots. We searched for a way out of the subterranean prison that held us. Moving Reaver bodies aside in search of a door, a clank was heard from the opposite side of the room.
"You kids got blown down here just like I did, eh?" A large shadow boomed. It moved into the light to reveal a man covered in armor from head to toe.
"Wait you're-" SIM gasped.
"That's right. I'm Klaymoor" He boomed. "And I want you to hand over those weapons and whatever zenny you have, or suffer the consequences!" He aimed his arm cannon at us, and we scrambled to avoid his aim.
"EAT THIS!" I aimed my flamethrower at him, and pulled the trigger. He was engulfed in flames.
"Alright, Purifier!" 42 cheered. "That was easy!"
A sharp pain pierced the back of my head. Klaymoor wasn't finished. I dropped to the ground, unconscious from his iron fist.
"GAHAHAHA! Your flames will not pierce my armor, boy!" He bellowed, "I'll just take this weapon of yours, and all of your zenny!"

OOC: Don't bring in anymore actual MML characters please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "EY! Old man, catch!"
Klaymoor looked up from purifier and muttered a gruff "mhmm?!"
*BOOM!!* *cough* *cough* *cough*.
"*huff*... *huff*... that.... arms got quite a *huff*... punch to it.."
Klaymoor breathed in deeply and said in a much more clear voice "So punk, you think you can fight me?"
Klaymoor dropped the unconscious purifier on the floor and then cracked his knuckles.
"Let's go old man!" I taunted.
"I'll get purifier!" 42 called out.
"I've got your back Exo!" SIM said
I nodded and supposed my fighting stance.
Klaymoor charged at me surprisingly quickly despite his heavy iron armor. I was barely able to dodge his punch in time.
I leapt back and threw another grenade at him. It didn't even slow him down this time. He blocked it with the thick armor on his arm and kept on going. SIM unloaded Hyper-shell shots one after another on Klaymoor. They scarcely had an effect on him.
Nothing we had could hurt him. The situation seemed hopeless this time.
"I need to think up a strategy before he mugs us..." The thought crossed my mind as a bullet whirred by my ear.
SIM's face looked panicked as he fumbled around with his hyper-shell and then ran off scared.
Klaymoor said triumphantly "HAH! Now there's only this runt to deal with!"
(This can't be right... SIM had tons of ammo there's no way he would run out this soon...)
Then I figured out what he was planning.
I released one grenade into my right hand. I threw it behind my back into my left hand and released another one. As fast as I could I threw the the grenade in my right hand at him and in the instant he blocked it I ran behind him and threw the other one at him just before it went off.
He blocked them both. Then said "nice try, kid" Not a half a second after Klaymoor said this SIM shot him in the back with his Hyper-shell.
"OWW! OW! OW! OW! That was cheap! Kids these days have no honor, shooting an old man in the back like that."
"Bola! Bola! Help me out! I can't move" A man with brown armor and two swords appeared floating in the air.
"Look, I'm not your nurse. I'm your partner." He said
"At any rate... I have no interest in these ruins Klaymoor only dragged me down here to settle a score with the mayor." "Since that's not really possible now we'll be heading off"
With that Klaymoor and Bola took their leave.

Anytime could be good, just write yourself into a convenient location. I.E. exploring the ruins already on your own or just entering town

(( Good to know. Thank you very much. ))
Anima had been in the ruins for some time. But she didn't get through without a scratch. She had a couple of bruises and scratches on her, as well as dirt marks from explosions. She thought she heard some noises from afar, like people fighting. She went to check it out. Floating alongside her was a Miitan, with it's arm missing, and replaced with a copper-colored one. Not only that, it had metallic patches on the head and chest, possibly signifying it was gutted and put back together in a way. "What do you think the sound was Miss Anima?" It asked curiously, hiding behind it's current owner.
"I don't know REI..." She replied back. "It's possible there might be some carbo-" She corrected herself quickly "humans exploring around down here."

I watched the two interlopers disappear down one of the many corridors connected to the room we were in. I was kneeling by the still-unconscious Purifier. I should have been giving him more of my attention, but something was bothering me.
"What did he mean that it wouldn't be possible for him to settle his score with the mayor?" Everyone who wasn't unconscious turned to look at me. "Those two seemed pretty capable, so what down here could have stopped them from getting to Danny?"
There was silence. The more powerful Reaverbots were generally larger, and there wasn't exactly a lot of room for them in the tunnels. None of the smaller Reaverbots would have presented a challenge for Klaymoor or Bola, so what could have kept them from reaching Danny?
"You don't think..." Exo trailed off, sounding worried.
"No!" Sim snapped, "Don't even suggest that, Exo. There's no way Danny would die down here fighting a hoard of minor Reaverbots, or any Reaverbot!"
"I don't think he died either." I said. "Danny was just as capable of those two, so what could that have meant?"
"Only one way to find out." said Purifier as he unsteadily lifted himself off the floor. I moved to support him but he shook his head. "I can do it." he said
When he had finally gotten his bearings straight and retrieved his weapon he said, "Now, let's go find out what happened to Danny."
Wondering if his sudden bravado was the result of a concussion, I followed Purifier and the others deeper into the tunnels.

Anima and REI went down the twisting hallway for what seemed like hours, until they had reached a door. Without hesitation, Anima went through the doors, and was lead to a large, wide room, with two high pillars with platforms on the top.
"I think this is the wrong room..." Anima looked at her surroundings, wandering around the room. "Are there any treasure chests on there REI?"
"Let me check." He said, floating up to one of the pillars, then another. "No. nothing." His internal sensor then started going off. "Wait! M-Miss Anima! I'm sensing a reaverbot in this room!!"
"What?!" before she could even react, something had hit her in the back, causing her to fly across the room before skidding along the ground. She got back up, and wiped her mouth. Bloody lip. She looked up to see whom the perpetrator was, and to her shock, was a large green-colored Sharukurusu.
"I had a feeling this would be too easy..." She muttered to herself. "Damn... this does not bode well..."
(( And note, I prefer doing RPs in third-person view. I have nothing against first person, I just find this more easier is all ))

"8th floor... Ugh, this is taking forever!" I complained as the elevator stopped and the door opened.
"What the-?!" Mikey exclaimed as the door opened, revealing a girl fighting a Sharukurusu.
"It's show time!" I yelled as I ran towards the Sharukurusu, tackling it in the process.
"Fire away, Mikey!"
"Roger that." Mikey said calmly as he readied his buster and fired, putting a neat hole in his chest. It fell to the ground immediately. We then turned towards the girl and her altered Reaver.
"Hey there, the name's Snake, and this is Mikey. And who might you be?"
"I'm Anima, and this is my partner REI."
"We're headed down to the 10th floor, care to accompany us?" Mikey asked, examining REI.
"Alright, I guess I'll see what's at the end of these ruins." Anima replied as we headed to the elevator leading to the 9th floor.

They soon reached the 9th floor. it lead into another series of splitting paths leading to multiple directions. REI took the time to scout ahead and scan the area.
"This direction will lead us the right way. The other way is a dead-end." he said coming back. "if any of you wish to gather any treasure you come across, you may do so if you wish."
"I think that's the point of this expedition." Anima replied. "Still, I wanna see what lies in this ruins. maybe it's a summable treasure of zenny, or a large refractor. I'm hoping for the latter."
"Only one way to really know for sure: See it for ourselves." Snake said, headed in the direction REI said was right.
Mikey was still looking at REI, making REI himself very weary about if he trusts him or not. "Please do not look at me like that, you're making me nervous..."
[Hope I got the characters right]
