[dice=6] Had the SWATbots contained emotions, they might have been a trifle concerned with the big-ass robot mecha suddenly looming before them. As it was, though, they were too busy successfully dodging the dislodged Mega Muck to soil their circuits in fear. They quickly returned fire, spraying Mega Muck in high arcs to compensate for the robot's large size as they gave chase.

Dart suddenly came to his senses as his father scooped him up. "AAAAH!!! DADDY, DON'T EAT ME!" He cried. "YOU TOLD ME CANABALISM WAS AGAINST THE FAMILY RULES!"

[dice=6] ...And the goo hit his mech on the foot as he was retreating, impeding his progress. "Damn it.. this stuff can't be that strong..." He pulls forward, trying to see if he could step out of the goo.. (1 for success, 2 for failure) [dice=2] ..And the foot comes loose. He continues to make his retreat, running off at his top speed; the mech then pulls two large crescent shaped boomerangs from its shoulders, its torso turning around and throwing them at its pursuers.

[dice=6] Amazingly -- perhaps due to divine intervention or just sheer dumb luck -- Resson's aim had been off just enough for the boomerangs to get stuck in the goo left on the ground from his mech's previously trapped foot. The SWATs continued their chase unimpeded, firing more muck all the while. [dice=6][rand=9708125631371195633779057768987527822138283090455279375206114982]

[dice=6] Resson just barely missed the goo, swerving to the side and avoiding most of it. "Curses.. I can't leave the boomerangs there. They're a part of the Seven Force, and I don't want to try transforming with missing pieces..." He screeches to a halt and gives the order to transform again. The boomerangs glow white and come free, and the mech breaks into white, glowing parts, which orbit around Resson and his children for a moment before reforming.. [dice=7] "Hawk Force!" The mech takes the shape of a giant blue mechanical bird of prey, Resson and company standing strapped in on top of it. The giant hawk spreads its wings wide in a single, forceful movement, sending plasma bursts everywhere from the concealed blasters in the wings.

Dart quickly glanced around the cockpit, then said the only thing that came to mind. "... GO GO, POWER RANGERS."

[dice=6] But alas, trying to hit SWATbots with their weapon of choice was about as effective as putting out a wildfire by spitting at it. A couple of the slower sentries got clipped by the shots, but that was all. Relentless and unyielding, their assault continued. More SWATs from around the city began to congregate in the area, adding to the number of weapons being fired. Hover units took to the air to battle Hawk Force from the skies while the ground-bound units aimed as best they could at the now-aerial target. [dice=6][rand=66894518358615375431648526898039132235074018598585257126340669647]

[dice=6] Resson easily dodged the clumsy shots, maneuvering the Seven Force gracefully through the skies. He soared ever higher until he was sure he was out of range of the ground units, then spread the wings again, sending more hails of plasma back at his pursuers. [dice=6][rand=9313242600095832392773034659290376753903870803717709856568721708]

[dice=6] The ground units scattered as they saw the blasts coming, managing to avoid most of them. A couple SWATs got caught by the attack, but the majority survived it. The target was now out of the range of their Mega-Muck blasts. The ground units called for backup. They needn't have bothered, however. Backup was already there. A squadron of hoverbots had been called in earlier in the battle; they had now finally arrived, and immediately set about swarming the flying mech as they spewed gunk all over it, aiming especially for the passengers on its top. [dice=6][rand=68227523080362233742033185970959380500243194289664055757221206595]

[dice=6] ...And a shot hit Resson in the back of the ankle, effectively gluing him to that spot on the machine. It would be risky to transform again. "Damn it! We don't have time to play around. Cyro, Dart, hang on. We're going to say farewell to our pursuers." He presses a few buttons and diverts all power to the engines. He then braces himself and presses a single button which causes the engines to roar with life, spewing firey exhaust back several times the length of the hawk's body. [dice=6] (For exhaust hitting the Swats) [dice=6] (For the getaway!)[rand=51120507075420744052985059891286821077727682943828389644284405]

[dice=6] [dice=6] Alas and alack! The hoverbots totally pwned Resson's pathetic escape attempt by spraying Mega Muck into his exhaust pipes. All of them survived, and the mech's forward momentum was immediately halted. Yet still they did not let up their assault. MUCK FROM ABOVE.

[dice=6] And thus the robotic hawk became a robotic hawk covered in goo, which began to plummet rapidly. Of course, all Resson could do was transform and risk something horrible happening, or not transform and having something horrible definitely happen. "Seven Force, transform!" [dice=7] ...And it just changed back into the platform, sending goo hurling everywhere again. Luckily nothing terrible happened, and he came free from his position easily - however, he lost a lot of mobility and all his weaponry. "I'm going to drop into the clouds for cover. Dart, I want you to do your best to repair the Seven Force so it can transform again. Be careful! We're hundreds of feet in the air." Resson drops the platform below the clouds in an attempt to buy Dart some time. [dice=6][rand=026343952078910715829732187662202239095092533151617591870458008596]

Dart gave Resson a stark salute. "Aye aye, Cap'n!" He replied before taking off in his usually repair blur. The tiny roboeskie quickly went to work on trying to repair Seven Force. [dice=2] (1 = success, 2=fail)After a few moments of various random tool sounds (which included a blowtorch, a drill, a jackhammer, and a power sander), the small eskie sent word to his master. "HALFWAY THERE!"[rand=4392544902545022552896139853706672135257738793320306987438851344385]

[dice=6] Unfortunately, Dart would be having some difficulty with his repairs, for the Hoverbots were following them into the clouds and, using their radar, easily tracking the besieged scientist and his sons. They fired another salvo. [dice=6][rand=700930457278914757111726005920990344372760894190449862754118172428]

[dice=6] Resson maneuvered the platform into another nearby group of clouds, going out of their line of sight again before any shots could hit. He lowered the platform some more, hoping that by the time they transform again they'd be able to hit the ground without significant damage. "How much longer, Dart?" [rand=932336542921591761145188825019252096364096270368508372320179741]

Resson glanced back at Cyro. "Hm... do you think you'd be able to deflect any of those muck shots with your blades? You could aid in defense until we can transform again."

The Hoverbots were momentarily confused as they lost sight of their target within another patch of clouds -- but an infrared scan quickly cleared up any confusion as they once again zeroed in on the harassed trio in picture-perfect formation. You know what happened next. [dice=6][rand=896519742399627736075889385616067268388616513883247062914853410729]

[dice=6] ...And then he was covered in goo. Again. The platform begin to make some rather unfriendly noises as the muck strained the systems - the pitch of the engine's humming changed sporadically. ...But luckily, Dart had just finished the repairs. Resson immediately gives the order to transform. [dice=7] "Tiger force!" The mech broke up and sent goo everywhere again; Seven Force reassumed its tiger form, falling a hundred feet to the Earth and landing with a deafening impact. Luckily, the Tiger Force was designed to handle impacts like this with ease, though a few sparks shot out of the joints. "Time to say goodbye to our friends." Resson looks about for a moment, spotting anearby marshland - he dashes towards it, hoping to lose his purusers there. [dice=6][rand=04054655324994594844699042972440786886054298634511787363056625344]

[dice=6] Resson obviously was not having a good day. The hoverbots were capable of tracking him from the air despite how fast he moved on land. After all, they had been built to combat a supersonic hedgehog, and Tiger Force could not move nearly as fast as he did. However, they had also left Robotropolis far enough behind that the hoverbots were cut off from support. Should they be destroyed, there would not be any new drones to replace them. This didn't discourage the hoverbots, though. Such emotions were beyond them. FIRE ZE MISSILES MEGA MUCK! [dice=6][rand=587300505391511192708232793455061720461904217411926264064135525444]

[dice=6] ..And a splotch of Mega Muck rooted him to the ground. "That's it. I've had it with these goddamn robots." The Tiger force pivoted on its trapped leg and turned to face its pursuers, kneeling forward and pointing its tail at the Hover units; the tip of the tail began to glow. "All right, brace yourselves. I'm charging my laser."[rand=582578665178327133919798873299011459532487427873725666376884803777]

The hoverbots, heedless of the possible danger they were putting themselves in, barreled straight towards Resson's party in a classic 'V' formation. The space between the two groups rapidly diminished. Unlike Resson, the robots were not hampered by troublesome charging times. Always ones to take any opportunity presented to them, they opened fire first. [dice=6][rand=7578446750122118614520592631647724489673528614822828174439676955]

[dice=6] And Resson's mech was covered in goo. Unfortunately, some hit the tip of the charging tail... and as it turns out, the muck is flammable. The heat began to overload the system, And Resson had no choice but to abandon his prized battle mech and retreat. He pulled Cyro and Dart in closer to himself before detaching his regular platform, speeding off as the Seven Force began to disassemble and fall to pieces behind him. He quickly retreated into the forest, hopeful that the robots would be distracted by the Seven Force - they didn't seem smart enough to realize that it wasn't a threat anymore. "Heads will roll for this..."[rand=1056073490311692532999808712017532926594731917473949542009073387]

Indeed the robots were distracted, as Seven Force up until that point had been their primary threat, and neutralizing it took priority. They swarmed about the mortally wounded machine, gooing it repeatedly in a bukkake scene as the flames continued to leap ever higher, completely destroying any salvagable parts and erasing the faithful machine from existence. By the time they realized Resson and his sons were no longer at the scene, it was too late. They sent a message back to Snively, informing them of their mission results, as together they returned to base.
