M.L.U city

[Anima]

REI had facepalmed. "What do we do now? Wait for the power to finally give?"

"I think that's the only thing to do." Anima said, getting up from her laughing fit.

"I see..." REI muttered to himself. He was looking at some of the street signs that were unscathed. he saw one that was recently drawn by Anima, with him 'accidentally' kissing her.

"...I sometimes wonder what had gotten into my circuits that day..."

[Servbot42]

OOC: I'm imagining our ships as Draches. Blue Draches. I guess the enemy can have Glyde's bird ships, if that's important to anyone. I'm a nerd for such things.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ENGAGE THEM!" I howled, thrilled at the thought a dog fight.

"Alright, but you should stay back, 42." Snake said over the radio. "Like you said,-"

"Yeah, yeah. Take them out and I'll wait here."

Due to my ship's lack of any windows, I watched Purifier and Snake accelerate towards a group of enemy fighters through a screen in the cockpit. Just as they were about to enter into the range of the enemy's weapons, they broke off, Snake diving into cloud cover on the left and Purifier on the right. To their credit, the enemy pilots were not fooled into pursuing them. Instead, they began flying in my direction, no doubt hoping to bring me down before the other two could rejoin the fight.

Unfortunately for the enemy, they were not supposed to pursue Snake and Purifier. Once the last enemy ship moved away from the clouds, Snake and Purifier flew out and began to pursue them from behind. In their opening volley, they each destroyed one enemy fighter. Now an uneven fight, the remaining two enemies broke their course towards my ship and maneuvered to combat my allies.

A noise on my console forced me to look away from the battle. A secondary screen that monitored the underside of the ship revealed a Guynie Toren navigating the streets. I manipulated one of the ship's exterior cameras so that I could see the direction it came from. Pillars of smoke rose from the streets, most likely from destroyed Reaverbots. Someone was dealing with the metal slug, but apparently not quickly enough.

"Reinforcements!" Purifier shouted over the radio. Turning my attention back to the main screen I could see ten more dots hurtling in our direction. A shell from Snake's cannons punctured the last fighter from the first group, which quickly blossomed into a mid-air fireball. Unfortunately, we had no time to celebrate.

"I'm joining the fight whether you guys approve or not." I said. They didn't object; taking on ten enemy ships would be difficult enough for all three of us. I accelerated towards the enemy fighters.

[Exo]

I awoke still hanging from the ceiling in damages base.

There were flashing red lights everywhere and loud sirens blaring.

I could hear Hawkeye and Sarkli swearing over the sirens there was also a third, unknown, voice.

"Dammit, Sarkli he's already come looking for it" I heard Hawkeye say

*FWOOSH* *ZZZAP* I heard the sounds of beam swords colliding. There was definitely a heated fight going on outside.

"GIVE ME MY EDEN!" I heard the third voice say

"Hell no, we worked hard to steal this piece of junk!" Sarkli said

I heard the beam swords clash again

"GRAHHH!!!" I heard the mysterious voice shout out

*pow* "unngh... damn you...." I heard the sound of a body hitting the floor.

I heard hawkeye say "nice shootin' boss, you got him good!"

By this point the sirens had stopped and the base was back to normal.

"let's tie him up, our other prisoner might like some company" Damage said

I heard forced laughter out of Hawkeye and Sarkli

The door opened up and Hawkeye and Sarkli set to work tying up the mysterious intruder in a manner similar to myself.

I closed my eyes and pretended I was asleep when they walked in.

Once they left I looked over and examined him

He was wearing a top hat, had short light blue hair, pale skin, and was wearing a white suit.

A little while later he began to stir

I asked him "hey, how'd you get here?"

He replied "I came to get one of our EDEN's back from these thieves but just wound up getting captured ahaha..."

I couldn't hold in my curiosity so I asked him "How on Terra did Damage manage to steal both the reaverbot control node and an EDEN from you?"

I could see he looked upset at my asking he spoke anyway "well you see. When MML3 was announced my townspeople and I were dancing around when Damage seized control of the reaverbot node. He activated all the dormant reaverbots underneath my city and hijacked one of our EDEN units in the confusion"

"That sounds horrible... by the way, my name is Exo, what's yours?"

"My friends call me "Fab" I am the mayor of MMLS"

At this point the alarms sounded again

I heard Damage shout through the intercom

"Hawkeye, Sarkli, Launch the ships IMMEDIATELY more monkeys are coming!!"

"huh... I didn't expect my friends to come THAT fast" Fab said

I wondered quietly if it was a rescue squad from MLU...

[MikΣy]

The Guynie Toren wasn't slowing down in its rampage and reaverbot manufacturing, so after some quick thought on how to avoid the electrified street, which was slowly beginning to spread as more water gushed from the hydrant, I ran back downstairs to the top floor and looked for something I could use to vault over the roofs, and sure enough, there was a perfect Bō Staff right in a wardrobe... a scary thought, but I TOOK it as a stroke of luck.

Putting away the SPB, I began vaulting from building to building, in hopes of catching up to the Guynie Toren, which was slowly making its way to the TMOTB stronghold... and cleverly avoiding taking the Fan Media Street, which was still bright with electrical shocks and plenty of drinking water.

[Anima]

(( How the hell did my post not go through...? ))

"REI, go with Mikey, alright?" Anima said to her Miitan partner.

"What? But Miss Anima-!" REI began to object.

"GO! I'll catch up with you guys soon!" She said.

Without further hesitation, REI floated off to catch up with Mikey.

[Solid Snake]

I shouted into my communicator to Purifier and 42:"Hoo boy, it's been a while since I've been in a good dog fight!"

"...A good... dogfight?" Purifier replied, slightly confused by my enthusiasm.

"That boy ain't right." 42 sighed, looking over to my ship. As he said that, the reinforcements arrived, guns blazing.

"Let's get to work, boys!" 42 yelled, barrel rolling to evade enemy fire.

"Roger that!" I answered, engaging the boosters to speed up.

"Take it easy, bro..." Purifier warned me with a tone of sternness.

The second battle had begun, and the three of us were eager to get these small fry out of the way. Time was of the essence, who knows how Exo was faring in Damage's base. 42 was the first of us to take a ship out, shooting the broad side of the airship as he hid in the clouds.

"Nice use of your radar!" I complimented, chasing one unit down and trying to lock on to it.

"You haven't seen anything yet." Purifier remarked as he flew head first towards an enemy airship, shooting it down and pulling up above it shortly after.

"My turn!" I had finally locked onto the enemy ship I was chasing down. I pushed the button to launch a missile at the foe. The missile slowly caught up to the airship, blowing it up in the process.

"That's three down! Stay alert, men!" 42 ordered as the fight continued...

[Purifier Unit 20XX]

The enemy ships were dropping like flies. Snake had just gunned down his second ship, and was locking on to his 3rd one.

"Alright, gentlemen!" Snake shouted over the communicator, "Whoever sinks the most of these bad boys gets the losers' zenny!"

"Is this a game to you, Snake?" 42 sighed.

"No way am I agreeing to that!" I replied.

"So its a deal!" Snake interjected in ecstasy. He sunk his 3rd ship, and began locking onto another.

I frantically fiddled with my controls. Snake wasn't gonna listen to either of us. So 42 and I had to make sure he didn't get anymore ships. I fired my guns at the ship in front of him, blowing it up.

"Only 4 left?! Damn!" Snake barked.

42 had destroyed another one while Snake was distracted. Two for 42, two for me, and three for Snake.

Snake and I were practically racing for the next one. 42 was avoiding the other two ship's fire. He managed to blow one up, but the other clipped his wing. "Will you assholes stop it with your game and give me a hand over here!? My Drache is destabilizing!"

I raced over to 42, and shot up the enemy ship, giving him time to stabilize again.

"Thank you Purifier..." He sighed.

Snake was still chasing the last ship. This ship seemed a little different than it's predecessors. It's body was sleeker, it's guns were larger, and it just looked generally menacing...

[Servbot42]

I took a moment to check the status of my Drache. Everything was green on the status monitor; the shot that could have taken my wing off must have come close enough to destabilize my flight pattern.

"He's gone! He went into the clouds!" Snake was yelling.

"Get away from the clouds now, before he turns around!" I said. "Don't let him use our tactics against us."

As we veered away from the cloud cover, Purifier said, "We should be quick about this. That ship looked different from the re-" He was cut off by the loud, repeating whistle indicating a hostile missile lock. "This one's got missiles! Break formation!" He yelled as a missile arced out of the clouds and exploded beneath Snake's Drache.

"Shit!" was all Snake could say as his lower rudder was destroyed, sending his ship spiraling out of the air. Purifier was losing his mind over the radio as we watched the wounded Drache hurtle to the ground, flames and smoke trailing as it fell.

If there was anything we could do, we didn't get the chance. The enemy ship had emerged from the clouds, firing everything it had at us. I dove towards the ground to avoid the latest missile attack. The missile dove with me, barely missing my Drache and exploding in the streets below.

I pulled up and steadied my ship, but all I found when I returned to my original position was a fading cloud of smoke and a lot of debris that once made up the enemy airship lying on the ground.

"Purifer?" I called over the radio. "Purifier?" After two more attempts I flew to the location where Snake crashed and sure enough I found Purifier's Drache hovering near the wreckage of Snake's, hatch open.

I landed as well, hoping that our victory would not be overshadowed by a tragedy.

[Anima]

Anima saw the falling drache in the distance. Not only was there action on the ground, but in the sky as well.

"That... doesn't look good..." She said, rushing down the stairs, and onto the streets. Though it was still flooded with water, the power was finally cut off, and the threat of impending electricity was no more.

Though the threat of reaverbots were still apparent, she thought nothing of it, knowing she still had her special weapon with her.

Another thing she thought about, was if REI was alright, and Mikey.

[MikΣy]

I noticed I was far enough away from the Fan Media street to stop vaulting from house to house, but it was still just too much fun. I finally TOOK a look back after reaching ground level again, and I see REI in the distance.

"Hey, REI! How are things looking back there!" I called, deciding to wait for him. After about a minute, he finally caught up.

"There was no way I could call to you, the way you were vaulting like that." he said, amused yet a little irritated.

"Jumping from a 5 story building to a 4 story to a 3 to a 2 then onto a house is much more fun than you'd think." I replied, putting away the staff and getting out the SPB.

"Scans show that the Guynie Toren is 2 blocks away, he's passing by the Role Playing Building." replied REI.

"O.o I hope he doesn't break the space-time continuum by attacking it!" I replied, making a mad dash.

(( Protect the pixils! ))

The Guynie Toren was walking right past the RP building (which was little more than a big 3-story glowing monolith), and I TOOK another shot the next time the Guynie opened its hatch, bringing it down to 3 compartments. A few Sharukarusu's and Zakobuns were released, however, and they were heading STRAIGHT for the Role Playing Monolith.

[Anima]

Anima saw where the two had followed the Gainee Tooren: The Role Playing Board.

"Shit, this is not good!" She cursed to herself.

She saw the reaverbots begin to attack the 'Mono Islands' building. it was a project she and Mikey had been working on.

"Oh no!!" She sprinted to the building to attempt and try to stop them.

[Purifier Unit 20XX]

"Snake? Are you alright? Snake?!" I stared at him laying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or not. His body was marked up with gashes and bruises from the crash.

"SNAAAAAAAKE!" 42 howled as he ran to the scene of the wreck.

I knelt down and shook Snake, trying to wake him from whatever state he was in. His chest was rising and falling slowly. I was relieved, but at the same time, I was worried about how long he was going to stay this way.

I quickly ran to my ship, and grabbed my communicator. I tuned it to headquarters' frequency, and waited for SIM or Danny to pick up.

"Purifier to base!" I spoke, "Snake is down! Send a medical unit!"

"Sorry, Purifier! We do not have a medical unit established as of yet! All of our current members are either guarding home or headed off to the enemy base" SIM spoke over the communicator. "You are going to have to take Snake with you and carry on with the mission! There are Med kits located in back of your passenger seat. Try to patch him up the best you can before you take off again."

"... Understood." I said back to SIM.

"Best of luck to all of you." SIM said before getting the communicator.

My eyes fixed squarely on the ground, I walked back to 42 and Snake. I looked up at 42, and said "They said we need to patch Snake up, and carry on with our mission."

"What?!" 42 exclaimed, "We are down one man! If we tote him around with us, where will he go while you and I infiltrate the base?! Do we leave him in one of our ships?! Because the enemy will surely destroy them as soon as they find that we are there!"

"I don't know, 42. I suppose I could carry Snake around with me if he isn't awake by then." I spoke. "If Snake and I get held behind by the enemy, go on without us. We need one of us to survive to take on Damage."

"I don't think so." 42 said with a stern look. "If I lose you two, then I probably won't get much farther on in the base!"

"If you insist." I smiled a little at his remark.

We got Snake bandaged, and put him in what would be considered the passenger seat of my Drache. 42 and I continued our flight to Damage's fortress. I hoped Snake would come back to consciousness before we reached our destination. The skies were clear, and I could see a tower raising towards the clouds in the distance...

[Typhon Purifier 89]

(...........fine......)

A figure began to approach the towering, beautiful city of MLU.... billboards flashing their lights from the high walls protecting the city from the outside wastelands.... known as "The Desert of the Real" (ha)


"It's been too long..."

His powers had grown, but he would never forget where it all began, where he had his true character formed... He wanted to see Danny again, he used to be one of the powerful members of the City, but had abandoned it for 7 years.... He wanted to find out where all his friends had gone.... because he had come back...

"..... And then Inafune quits Capcom....

".......What!? What has happened here?"

The man threw off his cloak, showing the Senior Purifier, the Doomsday Unit, Typhon Purifier 89!!!

Upon closer inspection... he began to see that the city, rather than a shining beacon, had become run down, and it appeared to be under attack!!!

"I'm coming...." I said to myself....

"And someone is going to pay for this!!"

His footfalls echoed through the tunnel into the General Thread Square....

Who is still here? Who can I help? and they better hope they haven't destroyed RP board.... some of my own best work is in there....

He looked up into the sky... Draches fighting... Glyde Draches (lol)
"I hope I'm not too late..."

[Servbot42]

"How's he doing?" I asked.

"He seems alright, but he's still unconscious." Purifier said over the radio.

"Tch! We should have been given more air support!" I ranted. The tower that housed Damage and his cronies was getting closer every second. "I'm loading the Pooding missile now." I manipulated the console in front of me. "Missile armed. Firing now."

The missile hurtled away from my Drache, taking exactly twelve seconds to reach Damage's fortress. A brilliant flash outshone the fading sun for just a moment as the Pooding blasted a hole in the outer facade of the fortress.

"Alright, let's go!" I shouted. The hole was large enough to accommodate both Draches. We docked at the most stable location available, opened our hatches and used them as a bridge to reach the inside of the building while the Draches continued to hover in the air.

I emerged, once again wielding two busters on each hand. These were high-powered and much deadlier, however.

"Maybe I should take one of those?" I turned to Purifier, who was carrying Snake on his back. I remembered that they were planning to both lead the charge with energy swords while I covered them. That would be pretty difficult now. I traded him a buster for a sword and we stormed into the building.

[MikΣy]

(( finally I can be comfortable with posting again ;D ))

Those Sharukarusu's weren't going to get the upper hand on MY watch. They were large, but I had rigged the SPB to be modded much easier and far more quickly. I did one quick and simple action- replaced an ammo compartment with a charger I "found", thus giving the Buster a much bigger punch without sacrificing Rate or Range.

Aiming with my razor-sharp eye, I found a Sharu quickly and fired, there was barely a ricochet! BUT, the resulting explosion was large enough to completely destroy one (along with a couple zakobuns around its feet), and damage another which was nearby

Might damage the monolith if I try that again... they're getting too close I thought, as I replaced the charger with the ammo compartment. While doing this, a Sharukarusu manages to land a slide attack right into the Monolith. A pretty BIG wave of molecular distortion emanates from the monolith, it passed right through me, nearly knocking the breath out of me, and kept going. I wonder how far it would go...

I knew it...

I quickly shot down the Sharukarusu closest to the building, and managed to finish the rest of the remaining reaverbots before the Monolith could come to any more harm. The chambers of the buster were completely depleted of ammo... Heh. with one Hyper Cartridge left in the inventory. What luck...

I then noticed that Anima was attempting to prevent a small force of Sharukarusus and Zakobuns from approaching The Mono building, and; staying completely rooted to the spot, I lifted the Powered Buster and looked once again through the beautiful sapphire-blue scope, which gleamed in the sunlight...
