>>--Amazon-->
CrackaBOOM! Lightning rolled out of the clouds, striking one sentinel in the side, and short circuiting it's cannon. However, that did not stop it from opening its mouth to reveal another deadly cannon, charging and ready to fire.
"RUN!" I commanded to the shocked nearby civilian Yoshi's, staring mindlessly as I fought to protect their lives. Without hesitation, they scattered in all directions, and instantly the mob was gone. As the sentinel fired, I lifted my hands and flew into the air. These powers were relatively new to me, and I still could not believe I was fused with these powers. Weather control? Flight? Super strength? I charged at the sentinel, and grabbed it's cannon as it recharged. Gripping it with one hand, I ripped it out, as it buzzed with discharge. I threw it to the ground and with a swift kick, I tipped over the giant sentinel, which loomed over the city like a tree to a shrub. Only than did I notice the baby Yoshi, crying under it's giant shadow.
"No!" I gasped, as I dashed under the sentinel, and put my hands up, flying straight up.
"HERA, give me STRENGTH!" I prayed to the divine goddess. The sentinel pushed down, and I put extreme effort into lifting it up. Slowly, it was winning. NO. I would NOT have a child's blood on my hands. I glared at the sentinels, seething with hate. We did NOTHING to deserve this torture! My eyes started to glow as my hate multiplied. Wind staryted to pick up in my area, as leaves and twigs swirled around the sentinel. My eyes burned white, and SWOOSH! A gust of wind blew from behind me, lifting the sentinel off of my palms, as I concentrated even harder. The gale grew into a whirlwind as it grew in size and intensity. The sentinel started to drag along in the wind, it's giant limbs clanging clumsily. CRASH! The tornado reached it's climax as the sentinel was sent soaring into the air.
"AGH!!!" I cried, releasing my fury as clouds shadowed my view and a single blue lightning bolt answered my warcry, striking at the giant, exploding it into a million inanimate pieces. The atmosphere slowly returned to normal, as I fatiguely glanced at where the child was. But he wasn't there anymore. In place.. was a blue yoshi with a red vest, and a forked demon's tail...


>>--Nightcroshi->
WARNING WARNING.. My computer droned as a red star beeped on the geographic locater. Sentinel attack at town square? That place was full of people! The fatalaties would be ENORMOUS. How could I let this happen? BAMF! I teleported to the sight, to see all the people staring in awe. They were not scratched in one bit. I looked to see a brown female yoshi dressed in yellow, red, and blue clothing with a yellow tiara, organizing her long platinum hair. I watched in amazement as she fended off the sentinels alone, fighting with.. LIGHTNING! Could she control electricity? That was AMAZING! I than watched to see her punch a sentinel square in the face.. That took guts AND strength. Sentinels were made of pure titanium metal! I than watched in horror as a wounded sentinel fell towards an innocent child.
BAMF!
I grabbed the child, who gave me a horrified look. The purple smoke cleared as I grabbed the child, and teleported to a nearby Yoshi citizen, handing her the child.
"Shes not mine!" She protested, with a terrified look on her face.
"Take care of her, find her parents." I teleported back to see the Amazon glaring at me, suspecting that I had kidnapped the child.
"Where is she?" Thats when he interrupted....

[Moot]

Time: 9:40 AM

*krak-boom*

The explosion woke up British with a start.. he certainly wasn't used to an early morning like this... most of his work is carried out under the cover of darkness...

"What the hell? Lightning? At this time? thats odd... the forecast had today down as Sunny... May as well get up now, blagh..."

"May as well see what work the inbox holds for me today...

MSG:1 : Obtain data on new combat droid: sentinel.
NO NEW MESSAGES

"... thats all? Man, work has dried up recently, what with this so called peace... there nothing out for an honest mercenary these days... may as well check it out, its got a sweet price on it none the less.

Hmm... Bowser made, eh? Should be interesting to see what that old blowhard has been up to these days... I remember the last job I had scoping out his works was a breeze... this should be no different. His security is lax, at best, and his guards, incompetent. I mean, they keep letting the same two guys through again and again... ehh."

With this in mind, British packed his equipment, and set off for the listed co-ordinates. He took his ASMD Shock rifle, a handful of high yield EMP grenades, and the Shield Gun... just in case.. Not forgetting the motorbike, of course.

*2 hours later*

"Jeez, I would've thought that crappy weather would have cleared up by now... and the winds picking up... those weather guys really have no idea how to predict the weather... and this rains mussing up my jacket.

*krak-boom*

There goes that lightning again. Strange how its sticking to that one small area, must be a lightning rod or something there. Ehh, I may as well take a look, there no --"

Before he can finish his sentence, out of nowhere a flaming robot chassis crashes down into the road infront of him, nearly sending him offthe road... if he wasn't such a good driver.

"What the HELL? Theres NO way I'm not checking THAT out."

British spins the bike round, and drives back to the source of the explosion. All he sees there is carnage... civilians running everywhere, panicing buildings on fire... and a robots. Big, Hulking, Laser firing Robots, intent on destruction... but strangely, only going after Yoshies.

And in the middle of all that, he sees two figures, fighting off the robots, seemingly with a little trouble on their hands.

"Eh? why are those robots leaving all the rest alone... its senseless... Whatever. I'm going there and helping those guys out, I'm not about to see innocent people killed. Screw the mission for now!"

British drives up to the battle zone, with his ASMD readied. Speeding down the street, he manages to land several shots on these robots, damaging them as he goes.

"No time to properly destroy them, I may as well disable the ones that aren't as much of a threat. Those two guys look like they REALLY need my help now."

He gets there, just as a robot is about to land a crushing blow to a guy in a red vest. Briish lines up the shot... and blasts it right between the eyes, completely throwing off its sensors, causing it to spaz out, and crash into another group of robots, totalling them. British casually strolls over the the guy, who by now is looking more than a little worse for wear

"Phew.. that looks like the last of them... for now. We should get out of here, I'd guess more would be on their way, what with the show we put on here. By theway, the names, British... Lord British, to some. So, what name do you go by, stranger?"

[Yoshiken]

*yoshiken flies over the horizon*...nothin like a nice mornin flight session over the sunset...*in a instant some random laser zooms past him but he quickly dodges* what the..., he looks in front of him as three sentinels are terrorizing a group of yoshis, "another passing day, another enemy to be defeated" yoshiken lunged forward and snuck in the back of one of them and charged up a fire ball...yoshiken lets go of the giant sphere and a second later ashes are flowing iwth the wind...the other two sentinels turned around and both shot their lasers in almost perfect harmony, yoshiken was able to dodge them but the laser struck eachother and caused an explosion...yoshiken flew back but recovered "thats it, y'all are toast" with that statement he flew towards the sentinels at incredible speed. dodging the lazers that flew past him, he pulled out his katana and stuck it in the first sentinels head and then shot many fireballs at it which caused the katana to shoot out of it into the other sentinel which went through it and exited out the other side....yoshiken then picked up his katana and flew down to the crowd to collect any donations ...after collecting what he could he flew into the town to investigate

[joshi]

Joshi walked out of the bakery with some cake. He was hoping to meet up with his friends and eat some sweets. A robot followed Joshi around. Joshi took three turns, but the robot followed. He sped up a little, and the robot increased its speed. Joshi threw the cake on the floor and ran.

Why is he following me? I can't shake him off! *Sees Yoshiken in the sky. He hooks on to his leg and takes of in the air* That robot can't catch me when I'm hooked onto Yoshiken. What the...

Joshi sports flames and innocent Yoshies running around. Forces are out trying to stop the sentinels but their weaponry is useless.

What's going on? *Let's go of Yoshiken. Yoshiken lands somewhere near the disaster* Why are these robots menacing us? There must be something I can do! Yoshiken has a Time Stop experiment. Maybe there's someway I can tell him to use it.

[Moot]

"Well, that loks like all of them, for now, anyways."

Irony strikes... Just as British was about to help up the stranger, a group of more robots crashed through a brick wall, sending pieces of masonry flying everywhere.

"I HAD to open by big trap, didn't I? Looks like I'll be needing to break out the firepower again." British reloads the power charge in his ASMD with a fresh one, and lines his sights up on the robot in the centre of the group. He gets the shot, squeezes the trigger, and -- *FFFFSSSSZZZSSHHTTTTT* A couple of laser shots from the robots narrowly miss his head, only shooting through his jacket, leaving a nasty sized burn mark

"Oh, NOW you're DEFINATELY going down! This is my favourite jacket, Damnit! I know I shouldn't have tried this out in the open..."

British sprints back a few meters, and rolls behind a damaged section of wall. "Time to try this again..." He lines the shot up again, and fires of a large slow moving plasma ball. He knows this alone won't be enough to destroy a robot, or THREE, but he knows what can.. He lines up again, and fires of a regular beam from his ASMD. The beam pierces the plasma ball, and sets off a massive electrical explosion, annihilating the central robot, and blowing a nice sized hole in the others

"SCORE!! Nice to see I haven't lost it, after these past months..."

Then, just out of the corner of his eye, he sees a red figure flying through the air, launching fireballs down on another group of robots.

"What the -- I do hope he's on MY side here... Hey, YOU, FLYING GUY! ... ehh, he probably can't hear me anyway, and I need to see how that red vest guy is doing, he never told me his name... I want to know who I'm going to be working with here."

(Out of character: I must say this turning out to be very interesting

[joshi]

Joshi follows Yoshiken who is soaring through the air. One of his fireballs almost hit him, but he quickly jumped away. He bumpted into British.

Sorry, excuse me. Uh, I have a dragon to catch.

British: So do I. What's your name kid?

I'm Joshi, nice to meet you. *Sees robots* Bye!

Joshi dashes ahead and lost the robots. He could see British fighting them off. He followed Yoshiken up to this torn down warehouse which was burning.

Yoshiken! The Time Out Watch, use the Time out Watch!

Yoshiken: What? I can't hear you! You need a time out? This is no time for a time out, something creepy and much more sinister than I have ever done is going on.

No! *Points tp his wrist* The YATE Time Out Watch (TOW). Use it! Toggle the gray button!

Yoshiken *Pushes the Gray Button* Nothing is happening. Maybe it's busted.

No, don't push it! Toggle it! Toggle! Do you know how to toggle?

Yoshiken: Yes, I know what toggle is! *Toggles the button. All moving stops*

Good Yoshiken. Now, let's go for the robots over there by British.

Joshi and Yoshiken run over to the robots and stare at them for a moment. Joshi put a Jamming Device on each robot, making their system malfunction. It caused them to short circuit and they fell apart piece by piece. The Time Out effect wore off and British almost hit Yoshiken. Joshi grabbed Yoshiken's arm and shoved him to the side.

British: What happened to the robots?

Joshi collected his Jamming devices off of the robots.

Yoshiken: Joshi jammed their system. Wow, All I had to do was melt them but I let Joshi take all the credit this time.

British: That's what I was concerend about. Are you two on our side?

Which side?

British: The good side?

Huh? Do you know what's going on here? Why are these robots terrorizing the villages?

Yoshiken: That's what I'd like to know buddy.

British: Well...

You don't know what's going on either? Where are the others?

Yoshiken: I haven't seen them at all lately. But it was quite a storm today. Then it stopped. How odd.

A storm? I didn't see a ... Amazon! If she's here, so is Night Croshi. Come on lets find them!

Yoshiken: Sure. Hey British, you coming?

British: Well...

[Moot]

"I may as well... I could do with a clue as to whats actually going on here. Its madness... Anyways, looks like I won't be needing this for a while, at least. Thanks for the save there."

British holsters his ASMD, and sets off with the others, but hesitates..

"Wait. You said someone was creating this lightning? Its not natural? Man, this day just gets stranger and stranger... first these robots, then people controlling lightning..."

British looks over to his Motorbike, and gives it a kick - "Looks like I'm not going to be riding that for a while, I think the engines busted... ehhh...." He grabs the rest of his gear and sets off.

"You said Nightcroshi was here... I got a note from him, asking to meet up at Bowser University... I blew it off as a prank. But still, I think that was the guy I was helping earlier... maybe he knows more about these robots than we do."

British thinks to himself " If he has some info on these robots, maybe I can put it to good use, and transfer it all to my contractor... these must be those sentinels the message mentioned. I dunno how much info he'll want, but this can be a start..."

British stuffs a charred circuit board in his inside pocket and sets off to Bowser University with the rest of the group.

"Lead the way."

[joshi]

That's a pretyy good looking motor cycle. All right guys, when I first received this message, I thought Night Croshi was out of his mind, but now, I think we must listen to it. We're going to Bowser University to investigate (I think that's where the source of lightning is...). British, I saw you handle those robots pretty well, you have some spectacular weaponry, we'll need your strength. Allow me to introduce myself more formally. I'm Joshi and I carry around *Adjusts himself so his experiments are visible* these. They're called YATE Experiments. I believe we can use them to our advantage. Yoshiken has some too. They're really helpful to us. There's a long story behind YATE, but there's no time. Right now, there are robots terrorizing the Yoshi world. We must be quick.

Yoshiken: Are you quite through yet?

Yes, celebrate, we're almost there.

British: Robots! Okay guys, stealth time. Hide behind the trees.

They moved quickly and hid behind some palm trees. They stopped breathing for a moment, and the robots did not sense them. The robots moved away and they snuck to Bowser's University. The sky is dark and lightning struck the pipes. Rain poured down on them.

Yoshiken: Here it is again. The storm.

British: This is a strange phenomenom.

I'm sure it's Amazon. Either that, or Bowser's University is so evil, the sun does not shine. Come on, where are we supposed to meet again?

[Moot]

**Note: any text in italics is a thought.**

Heh, it WAS a nice bike, until those sentinels totalled it... Anyway, the note just says infront of the University... nothing more that that. I dunno about you, but this doesn't seem like the best of meeting places, right smack in the middle enemy territory.. Nightcroshi MUST have some reasoning behind this... Although I know I'd want to be as far away from this place as possible. I've been here before, and I couldn't stand it then... Previous work, you understand."

British takes a look round the area, and spots a two sentinels heading their way, in the distance.

"Hmm.. we should get out of the way of that sentinel... we can't really risk a full scale fight.. I'm sure this place is swarming with these robots. The minute we tried anything fancy we'd be a stain on the wall."

"We should head for that shed looking thing over there, we should be able to hide in there until the coast is clear... and get out of this rain, I'm soaked enough as it is." He pokes the hole in his jacket with an annoyed look on his face. "This thing was expensive."

British motions for the rest of the group to make for the shed.

"Its almost 12:30, NC should be here soon... If not we'll have to hang around here a while longer... not something I'm too keen on."

[Tempest]

12:31 -In front of Bowser University-
-Nightcroshi-=
-BAMF!- Nightcroshi teleported in front of the small crowd of Yoshis that had gathered in front of the huge black iron gate, with Bowser's statue in the front yard. Gasping, they turned to see Nightcroshi, and panic left their eyes.. somewhat.
"Who are you?" British questioned, squinting his eyes at Nightcroshi, as if examining him.
"My name is Nightcroshi, as you already know. I have gathered you all here today to help.. To help me find the source of these gigantic monsters who have been hunting our kind. If we don't do something about it.. our species will surely perish." He sighed.
"Why did you have us meet in enemy territory?" Yoshiken demanded, looking around, trying to spot enemies. "We'll be killed for sure!"
"Good question. If you'll follow me, I'll be sure to explain." Nightcroshi gestured, as he walked towards the giant iron gate. As he approached the gate, he did not stop. Instead, he ran.. straight through the gate.. and than he was gone.
"An illusion.." Joshi murmured, breathlessly. The pack of yoshis followed .. scared, but confident. Sure enough, they slipped through the metal bars unharmed.
"Have you even wondered why people say it is IMPOSSIBLE to get into this prestigious school?" Nightcroshi asked them, walking towards the giant mansion. "It's because it doesnt exist. This estate is my home, passed down from my grandfather. It has now become a safehouse for yoshies all over.. But if Bowser ever found out.. He would decimate us for sure. The illusion of a college university for Bowsers would keep us safe. Without the illusion..," He pressed a button on his wrist, and the background melted. A giant mansion with fountains and yoshi statues replaced the university with dreaded bowser statues. With another press of the button, the background faded back into existence.
"So, if you'll care to join me inside my humble abode..I'll meet you inside. Make yourselves at home.. if you care to join me in fighting this evil, this will be your home for the next couple of days, weeks, maybe months or even years! Think carefully about this.." Nightcroshi nodded to all of them, and BAMF! In a giant puff of purple smoke, he was gone.
"I've gotta get used to that." British muttered under his breath, and stared at the doors, which opened automatically. Now it was just up to them whether they would stay or not..


READ THIS
ACK! MORE RULES! thanks for posting guys, btw.. ANYWAY! sorry! ^^;; Umm.. ok. Please don't do any [I'm invincible yadda yadda, Super ENERGY BLAST MUAHAHHA KILLS EVERYONE] posts. Those are cool in times of need, but sometimes, you might end a post with.. like.. "as he is about to be crushed, he looks around for help." Its easier for other people to get involved, and it makes the RP more interesting. What everyone has done so far is GREAT and the quality is GREAT and yeah.. GREAT! xD Thanks everyone!

OH YEAH! another thing.. what happens in Role Play.. STAYS in Role Play. So if I hate Joshi in Role Play and I kill him and stab him to a million pieces.. it does not mean I hate him out of character. xD We are allowed to be as mean, as big of asses as we want in this RPG! Fun, right? ;D

[Moot]

"Man, I didn't think this day could get any stranger.. first I get run off the road by a flaming robot husk, then I get caught up in a rebel movement against Bowser, and I just saw a guy disappear right infront of my eyes... and above that, my jacket looks a COMPLETE mess. I guess you need to be prepared for anything in this line of work, after all..."

British takes it off, and throws it on a nearby coat rack, revealing a black leather waistcoat underneath, sporting a bandolier complete with EMP grenades and his ASMD ammunition.

"Ceratinly an elaborate illusion, to say the least..." British says, while looking around the place. There was no sign that this was all an illusion what so ever.

"Its the perfect disguise... Making out like this is Bowsers property... no one in their right mind would go near it. But, that doesn't say much about us, heh..."

British walked around the place a little, looking at the decor, prodding at the ornaments... " You certainly got this place down to a tee, only a freak like Bowser would have his picture plastrered everywhere... propaganda, at a guess. But still, it looks a safe enough place, we should be OK here to make a plan on what to do about these sentinels for the time being."

British collapses into a nearby armchair, and thinks to himself... "Heheh, who'd have thought I'd have got caught up in a rebel resistance movement... I usually work alone. Looks like we'll all of us to defeat this meance though... Not something I can just walk way from here.. like so many other things."

Yoshiken glances over at British. "You OK? You're looking a little rough."

"Oh, nah, I'm fine..."

[Rainbow Yoshi]

Rainbowyoshi runs up to them all gasping for breath.
"I found this note that said to meet here. I thought i'd see what's going on." What fools! If they believe this they'll believe anything!

[Moot]

"Ehh, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to see if theres any spare rooms around here... I'm beat after that action with those sentinels. I'm pretty sure Nightcroshi won't mind if I crash there for a while."

British picks up his jacket, and makes his way down one of the corridors.

"...I never wanted to get myself stuck into all this mess... I wanted the cash from this recon mission... I'm too far gone to call it quits now... I just feel like these guys need me..."

British hears someone call from down the hallway: "How long you going to be, British?"

"I dunno... couple hours, maybe?"

"Ok, see you then..."

British pulls out the circuit board from his inside pocket.

"To think... this bunch of circuits and wires could cause so much trouble... so much destruction, and pain... It sickens me. I should destroy this thing right now... just holding the d*mned thing makes me want to destroy whoever made this! To think someone would INTENTIONALLY make a creation to hunt down innocent people... I'm really going to have my way with that sick SOB when I get hold of them."

With this in mind, British enters the next free room he comes to, and promptly collapses on the bad, exausted, physically and mentally.

[Tempest]

>>-AMAZON->
Amazon took a deep breath, and entered the giant mansion. It was spectacular and beautiful inside! It was magnificent, from head to toe. Radiant colors dazzled her view as she tried to take in everything before her eyes. I guess I was staying here for a while. Nightcroshi said we could have a room so.. She hovered among the hallway, and turned in a corridor, where there was an abundance of free rooms. Picking one, she entered it. It was huge! Enough space for 10 yoshis to bunk! She smiled, and nodded. I think im going to like it here.. After a tiring battle, Amazon collapsed onto the comfy cushy bed, and fell into a deep sleep.


Just waiting for everyone else to enter the mansion, find a room, feel at home, yadda and than we'll continue.

[joshi]

"This place looks magnificent. Something troubles me though. How does Night Croshi know all of this information? How did he learn the technique of illusion? I have a few things to ask him myself."

Joshi stopped for a second as he listened to the eerie sounds of the wind outside. The silence of the mansion was like music to his ears. Joshi did not want to further wonder and took a tour around the mansion. He sat down at the balcony where he deactivated his experiments. He sat down, looking at the wreck he can see from up high. He can see the village he ran away from, crushed and burned to ashes. Where he met British and teamed up with Yoshiken. Then, he began thinking of Proffesor Mowrylean. His mind quickly stopped for a while when he overheard Yoshiken talking on the phone. Well, at least trying. All the other lines seem to be dead out in the world, it was difficult to get a hold of anyone. Joshi stood up and walked around the mansion. He saw a small opening on a wall and opened it. Steps that lead upwards appeared. Joshi climbed up to the attic. He found an old bed and a lot of junk. He found some old books.

"Hmm, these seem interesting. I guess I found my place to crash for the night. There's plenty for me to do here. I guess I can put away my experiments here, Yoshiken won't ever try looking in the attic."

Joshi lookd at a smaller door. He opened it and he could see a manual elevator. He climbed on it and pulled the rpes to descend. He stopped on the first floor and climbed off. He still could not find Night Croshi. Everyone else chose a room to sleep on. Joshi was not tired. He walked to the kitchen and saw many utilities. He picked up a cook book and flipped the pages. He found a very interesting treat, Mutant Cake.

"What a name for such a delicious looking cake. I think I'll make one."

Joshi grabbed the ingredients and the measuring utilities and began to follow the cook book step-by-step. He finished all of the things in the list before baking. He opens the over and inserts the cake inside. He closes it and looks for the buttons. To his surprise, there were no buttons or dials at all. He noticed that the oven turned on by itself. He tried to shove it open, but the door wouldn't budge. After a while, it finally opened, and the cake smelled delicious.

"But how was the oven able to do that?"

Joshi stared at the oven in marvel. He took some mittens and carried the cake to the table. He found some frosting on a drawer and began applying it to his cake. He added the extra decorations, his friends, the robots he saw, and some special effects. The cake was very colorful and smelled delicious. The cake seemed very steange though. It began to move. It split by itself into individual pieces.

"Well, at least it'll save me time."

The cake then hopped into each plate that Joshi set, piece by piece. They moved towards each chair on the table. Befre long, there was a delicious treat served for everyone.

"I wonder if anyone is hungry. Maybe Night Croshi would have some clue on this strange recipe. This is the weirdest cake I've ever made. How does it taste?"

Joshi sat at a chair with a cake. He began to eat it and savor it. He showed an expression of happiness and pleasure. He grew wings and began to float in the air. I tasted so wonderful that he soared all the way to the second floor. The wings disappeared in a few seconds and Joshi fell on the chandelier. He dropped forcefully on the floor.

"Wow, that's some amzing cake! I have to let everyone try some!"

Joshi set the utensils next to each plate and prepared the drinks. He was feeling a bit tired. He left the cake there hoping everyone would smell its sweet aroma and come to fill their stomachs. He returned to the attic to take a nap...

[Moot]

British paced around his room a few times, obviously too many thoughts running through his head to be able to make any sense of them.

"Ehh... what a mess this situation is. Robots terrorising the population, rebel resistance movements, and I'm stuck right in the middle of it. I don't see how this could really improve... I mean, how many of us are there... about five of us, trying to take on an army of sentinels... its insane. Surely we won't last that long..."

He walked over to the balcony, and gazed over at the wreckage in the centre of the town. "What did we do to deserve this... it not like ALL of the Yoshies here have wronged Bowser in some way... 98% just go about their daily lives its only a few that set up these protest and rallies. then again, there was that group of so called militants, but they're plan was quickly stopped in its tracks... we could've done with their help. The plan to eradicate them all is ridiculous. I guess none of that matters when you have a mind like that. Most of them are too scared to do anything serious about it... and then you have us guys, fighting for a cause that we'll probably never get anywhere in. Five people against an entire army? What chance is that..."

British slumped down against the outside wall of the balcony, and thrust his head into his hands, with a sigh. Maybe I can just get the hell out of here once I get the information I need, and my payment... and leave the rest of them to do what they want. Heh, and that would only add to my guilt... its not like I've been unable to hide it before, anyways. But why do I feel so connected to these guys... I've only known them, for what... a few hours?

British lifts his head up, and looks at the ruins again, still smouldering. By this time the police and fire services had most of the problems there under control.

"Maybe in some twisted way I support their cause, and want to see it through to the end... but the other part of me wants to run..."

Then, almost as soon as he finished his sentence, it started raining again.

(OOC: heh, my part is turning out more "serious" than intended )

[joshi]

Joshi could not nap anymore. He was too worried and concerned for the outside world. He took the elevator down again to grab another piece of cake. He spotted British sitting at the edge of the 2nd floor stairs. He walked upstairs to talk to him.

"Is something the matter?"

British: No, not at all.

You know British, I was thinking, why are we here? Must we hide away from all the danger in the outside world. The more we sit around, the more terror these sentinels cause. I'm concerned. Why is Night Croshi concealing us here, in this stronghold? Why the message? What does he want? You know, it feels like it happened in mere seconds. One second I was strolling around doing good deeds and saving kittens off the trees using my YATE experiment, the next, I'm running away. Did you see the destroyed village from the balcony. Remember how we met? I could never forget the destruction caused there. As the flames ignite, we stay here.

British: I was thinking of something similar to that. At first, I only had one intent, but now, it made a turn around. This time, it's not just my life on the line.

I feel the same way. So I'm guessing everyone else is sleeping?

British: That's correct.

Have you seen Night Croshi?

British: *nods* Sorry.

I have a few concerns I would like to share with him.

British: *To himself* So do I...

Hey are you hungry?

British: I'm famished.

I baked some really delicious cake. It'll bring out the beast within you literally. Maybe I'll go exploring the mansion a little. I already found my perfect room in a very secret place.

British: Really where?

The attic. But you'll never guess how to get there. I have my own personalized elevator so I can get anywhere in the mansion at any time.

British: Really? That's wonderful. I'm on foot from here.

Yeah! Wow, it feels great to talk to someone new. And how long have we met, a few hours?

British: Yeah. The feeling is mutual here.

Come on, let us go grab some cake off of the kitchen, and I'll show you around the attic. It's a magnificent view from up there, and I gave it a nice clean up, so it's dust free. I'll show you my personalized elevator too. But whatever you do, don't tell Yoshiken. I stored my equipment there and I don't want him to grab some of them for himself. Deal?

British: Sure why not? Deal.

Joshi and British ran to the kitchen to grab some cake. Then Joshi led him to the secret passage that leads to the attic. He gave British a tour of the attic, let him see through the window (the only view was wreckage from the other towns and villages) and he even showed British his own personalized, manual elevator. They went back downstairs (Joshi let British take the elevator) and sat down to wait for the others to wake up.

[Tempest]

..:Nightcroshi:..
The sun peeked through the clouds, as light was brought to the world once more. Nightcroshi was already up and about.. The alarm in every room of the mansion started to ring. However, it was not an abrupt alarm.. more like a soft gong to wake everyone up peacefully. Nightcroshi's voice sounded on the loudspeaker:
Good morning, fellow Yoshis! Please make yourselves some breakfast in the kitchen..thats on the first floor.. and than proceed to enter the portrait of Princess Peach in the West Corridor. That is all.
If we want to defeat Bowser, we must train.. Nightcroshi cracked his knuckles, and started clacking away on a keyboard.


.::Amazon::.
Amazon awoke to the soft chiming of various gongs. She yawned softly, and stretched her arms. Her cape draped under her, wrinkled from being slept on. For a moment, she had to think to remember where she was. Nightcroshi's voice was suddenly surrounding her, as it echoed in her huge room.
Good morning, fellow Yoshis! Please make yourselves some breakfast in the kitchen..thats on the first floor.. and than proceed to enter the portrait of Princess Peach in the West Corridor. That is all.
Wait.. enter the PORTRAIT?
"Welp.. I shouldn't be surprised.. if we can phase through metal bars, I am positive we can enter portraits." Amazon stretched a final time, and hovered out of her room. As she turned to remember which room she was in, she was shocked to find that the door now had the name 'Amazon' engraved in it.
This place is amazing beyond belief.. Amazon was perplexed but glad. As she approached the kitchen, her stomach started to growl.
Man,.. a caramel latté could really help.. Amazon drooped over as a tantalizing aroma filled her nostrils.
"That smells like.. CARAMEL!" Amazon's eyes widened as a mug of fresh caramel latté was sitting on the counter, with whipped cream floating on top.
Perfection... Amazon gulped down the latté, the hot liquid rushing down her drained throat. She gasped for air as she finished it, and was once again rejuvenated.
"Now.. the west corridor?" She did a mental calculation of the directions as she started following a hallway, and eventually found the giant picture of Princess Peach. She stood in front of it, confused as ever.
"How do I enter this..?" She placed her hand on the picture to touch it, and her hand was sucked in, and she felt probes attach to her hand. It was a tingly feeling, and she pulled her hand back.
Identified: Amazon Munroe: Access GRANTED
The painting split in to as it whooshed open, revealing a round silver brightly lit hallway.
Welcome to the Danger Room... a voice droned.
Danger Room..? Amazon swallowed hard, and followed the pathway until she came upon a glass room. Nightcroshi was there, as he turned around, sitting in front of a giant computer screen.
"Ah, Amazon! So glad you could make it. Now if you will just wait a while so our teammates can join us.." He smiled and returned to working on the computer.
Teammates?..

British heard the announcement over the load speakers, but it didn't wake him up, he'd been awake seemingly all night, unable to sleep. Tiredness wasn't something that affected him, though... he could be awake all night, and perfectly fine the next day... All-nighters were a part of his work, back in the day...

"I guess I'd better go and see what this is about... give me something to do. Enter the portrait though... I should stop being so surprised by stuff like this. its not like I've seen stranger..."

British slung his ASMD over his shoulder, and made his way to the west wing. He didn't have far to go, the room he had chosen was nearby. He turned round to shut the door, and his name was already written on the door, in a particularly fancy script. "Heh... nice."

"Certainly a nice decor this place has... looks the owner went to a lot of trouble... besides all the illusionary gear, that is. Must be a lot of power going through this place... Ah, this must be it."

He waved his hand through the painting a few times, as he did it left slight ripples behind it. "Cool..." Then he felt something attach to his hand, probably some ID device.

"IDENTIFIED: Unknown, British. Access Granted"

"Heh... doesn't even know my real name. Not like I use it that often, anyways..."

With that, he walked through, and came out into a brightly lit hallway. "Danger Room, eh? Good job I bought this with me," He says, glancing over to his ASMD. "Looks like I'll be needing it, if its some training dealie..."

He walks a little more further forward, and spots Nightcroshi in the corner, and shouts over.

"You rang?"

In a complex not too far from the Yoshis, was a holding facility for Bowsers prisoners of war.

In a cryogenic holding tank was a Yoshi, captured for being one of the most infamous bandits and destroyer of Bowsers' forces. But that was many years ago. Locked away in a dank, abandoned laboratory deep beneath the surface was DarkYosh. Virtually forgotten by all yoshi-kind, and not to mention Bowser himself.

On the night of the storm, a bolt of lightning struck the abandoned lab, causing a malfunction in the holding system.

I'm awake...Where am I? Wheres Bowser, I was just about to finish him off?? Oh no...I lost...Hmm a cryogenic tank? Time to break out, god knows how long I've been in here.

*Kaboooom*

"That was easy, now just to find the exit."

*falls on his face*

"Ow!! Man, they must've zapped my power while I was in there, I can barely even hold myself up, let alone stand. I'd better rest here before I continue, the defense systems might still be running on auxillary power."

*rests*
