The creature continued walking to the crash site, thinking to himself as it did, answering the other voice in his head. Only once out of every hundred and seventy times. The accuracy of that seems dubious. Also, it is highly annoying- but that would mean nothing to you.He continued to walk as the ship came into view, but stopped once he'd sighted the jackal, brow furrowing. This complicates matters.[dice=3] (Mephiles roll. Trying something different now)[rand=66650659185140049418324206901725114126699708295818508555969551734]

Anything is better than sitting around doing nothing, the voice paused when it saw the jackal. Isn't that one of Finitevus' henchmen? ... What do you think the chances are he's in that ship? And possibly dead?The last thought sounded hopeful. The pangolin blinked as his glasses were suddenly placed onto his snout. He began making a motion to adjust them when he remembered his arms were malfunctioning. "Thank you," he mumbled to Isis, now in the process of kicking off his shoes. Leaning back in his seat, he kicked his feet up onto the dashboard, then brought one of them over to fix his glasses properly and set to work on removing his seatbelt. He glanced over at Sally while doing this and mumbled something to himself. And then he was freed. He stood, wandering over to the unconscious princess and bringing his foot up to the side of her neck. "She's not dead. She has a pulse," was all he said.

"Oh good," Julie sighed with relief. "I really don't want to have to explain a dead monarch." She continued to argue with her harness one-handed, then finally gave up and brought her long tail around to help. At last the buckles gave in to her will. Approaching the unconscious passengers, Julie peered closely at Shortfuse, then turned to Finitevus. "I can probably carry the girl, but what about this one? I can't move him with my arm malfunctioning."

Isis glanced around suspiciously, an instinctual feeling in the back of her head told her she was being watched. Normally, Isis would have reactivated her cloak to gain the elements of stealth and surprise, however her arm was still malfunctioning and the muddy surroundings would make silent and undetectable movement nearly impossible. The jackal cursed the unfavorable situation from under her breath before taking a few steps forward, picking up a long piece of metal that had broken free from the ship and used it as a mock walking stick, testing the ground before continuing to survey the area.

Oh yes, Nicole recognized the person in the binoculars very much. "Oh crap...we need to hide, now." she told Tekno.

"Why? Who is she, and-Yikes!" "I wouldn't argue Sally's best friend, Tekno. Just do it." The yikes was made because Dulcy scooped Tekno with her tail, hooked Nicole around her right arm, and hid behind some thick group of muddy trees. Tekno brushed out of her tail's grip while she took out a red chip and slot it in her binoculars. "I'd like to know what we're dealing with, if that creepy gal got your knickers in a twist, luv." Indeed she did, as she used her binoculars to zoom in through the windshield of the ship. All she could see was a figure in a cape --or at least it looks like a cape-- looking like he was fixing something on one of the passenger-seats. But she can also see a magenta panagolin. "Hmm...two scaly echidna-thingys and..." After some more carfeul study, the caped figure finally stepped away from who he stood in front of. "Holy!....t-t-the princess!" "Huh?!? Sally?!?" "Shhh! Quiet down!" she then glared at Nicole, "Who are they?" ------ Yes, Shortfuse is still down, but he was starting to come around; his hearing returned. The Megatal coated on his shell was suppose to protect him from EMP; as it absorbs the energy and slowly reples it. But alas, Tekno still needs to work on it; all the metal does is make his armor a little tougher, and soak the energy and gradually drains it out like a sponge.

The crystalline creature continued to observe the jackal. It is indeed. And one can only hope so.If the creature had a mouth, he'd of smirked once Isis had picked up the metal pipe to use as a walking stick. She appears to be incapacitated. I don't believe she'd too difficult to deal with, if necessary. That said, he started to creep in closer.

[dice=3] I claim this one! the other voice shouted. Suddenly snatching control of the body away from it's current user, the creature suddenly lunged into a sprint and attempted to ram the jackal with a head butt. [dice=6] "Just because she's alive right now doesn't mean she's okay," Fini stated matter-of-factly as he was now in the process of checking her eyes "With luck there's no serious trauma. We're going to be needing a guide. Augh, that reckless military!" He shook his head briefly, then glanced over at Shortfuse. "Forget him. He's no use to us. Besides that, we have more important concerns," he grimaced then, rubbing the back of his hand against his forehead; the closest he could come to massaging it as he wanted. "According to what that girl's informed me, we should currently be in a world called Mobius. Which apparently has been in a war for a decade now. Hopefully we're in a non-hostile area..." he glanced over at the door Isis had gone through earlier.[rand=916943140144103620091844236717582329860805630250669461496391508124]

"Whoopie," Julie mumbled with a roll of her eyes, stepping on Shortfuse's chest as she passed over him. "I guess our luck with the G.U.N. forces wasn't bad enough. Now we're stuck in an actual war zone?!" Scrunching her mouth to one side, the pangolin unhooked Sally's harness with the assistance of her tail. "If we ARE in a hostile area, having her with us is probably going to make us a big target. I don't suppose a missing princess is easily overlooked." And I'm sure having an unconscious missing princess is even worse, Julie thought grimly. She loathed to think what would result if the ground squirrel really HAD incurred a serious head injury. Julie gave her an experimental shake at the shoulder, but Sally's head continued to hang foreward, unresponsive to stimulation. The pangolin sighed. Looked like they'd just have to deal with things on their own for a while. Turning around and kneeling, Julie took great care to ease the princess onto her back. If not for the great dexterity of her tail, the task might've been impossible, what with her left arm still limp at her side.

[dice=6] Already on alert from her suspicious feeling, Isis had caught a glimpse of the incoming attack and quickly spun around, bringing the metal piece up and blocking the headbutt. Isis looked down to the attacker and glared, shifting her weight suddenly and sending a heavy kick toward the side of the crystaline hedgehog's head.

Needless to say, the other entity inhabiting the crystal body was not happy. Apparently the concept of surprise is beyond your comprehension. You are an idiot. I hope you are able to take care of this one before alerting the attention of any others that may be in the ship...Not far away, it seemed the crash had attracted the attention of yet another observer in the form of a small hovering robot. This one, however, was native to this world... and it's presence was in no way positive, as in spotting the newcomers and the wreckage, it immediately sent a signal to Robotropolis... it'd not be long before SWATbots would come to investigate... and take prisoners, if necessary.

[dice=6] [dice=6] Isis quickly planted the metal piece into the ground and used it like a vaulting pole to quickly push her feet off the ground, avoiding her assailant's sweep. While she was in no position to dodge the slashing attack, she quickly twisted to the side, whipping her robotic arm out to the side and barely deflecting his arm with the back of her claws. The jackal followed through her now twisting body's motion with another kick. [dice=6][rand=37669046573593197547749648949494472216743129178946731334338181644]

"Dr. Finitivus and his henchmen," Nicole said by way of identifying them, "Though I have no clue what the thing fighting the jackel is." She strained to get a look at the craft herself, and spotted her. There was no mistaking Sally's familliar form, though it was definatly not her Sally. Her Sally wouldn't be caught dead in that outfit, or lack there of. She squinted at something else too. "We need to find a way to rescue Sally...and I think someone else is in there too besides Finitevous and the female pangolin."

"You think?" Tekno took a quick look through her binoculers. "Eh, guess another one of his cronies, only...compact." She put them away, while trying to ignore the fact that there's another thing that looks like Shadow What the bloody hell is it with freaks looking like Shadow? Is it a bad fad or something? "Let's go then, while that Shadow-wannabe is keeping her busy. Dragon-dove, cover us incase that jackal gal wins." Dulcy seased from keeping 27 frozen. "No problem." Tekno grabbed Nicole's arm and led her to the trashed ship, while running around the battle that belongs to Isis and Meph. Tekno planted her back against the outter shell, next to the broken door, while leading Nicole to do the same. While hiding there, Tekno reached in her pocket, and pulled out another sleep-bomb. "-sigh- last one." kissing it, Tekno tossed it in the ship, hoping to put Fini and any of his cronies to sleep.

[dice=6] The kick connected squarely, but the crystalline creature didn't seem phased by it. Instead, he grabbed the jackal by the leg and attempted to throw her into a nearby junkpile. Like you could do any better, Mr. I-Got-Genocided-By-A-Hedgehog![dice=6] [dice=3] (Doomie McDoomDoom roll) [dice=6] Fini's attention turned away from the princess when he heard a tinking sound and something rolling across the floor. He spotted the grenade just in time to see it explode into a ball of smoke and begin filling the ship's interior. His eyes widened slightly. "Cover your mouth!" he shouted, immediately burying his face into his shoulder and racing toward the front of the ship and frantically looking in one of the emergency kits for a face mask. Without the use of his arms, however, the speed of his moments were halved as he worked with one of his feet. He coughed a couple of times, choking on the sleep gas and struggling against his increasingly hazy consciousness. His vision blurred and he found himself doubling over onto one of the seats. Before he collapsed, however, he managed to give a shout of "ISIS!"[rand=370170778024496628215046698199076976260482209237414077593144182654]

[dice=6] "What the--?!" Following her instructions, Julie quickly cupped her good arm over her mouth, but as soon as she did, Sally began to slip from her back. Oh come ON!! the pangolin thought frustratedly. Immediately she tried to steady the princess with her tail, but in the end she was reluctant to try to handle her too excessively; her tail's sharp scales could easily hurt the ground squirrel. Julie sucked in a breath and held it as she struggled to secure Sally once again, but in the confusion she ended up tripping over Shortfuse, and the girls tumbled to the floor. Julie coughed and choked on the smoke. Though she covered her mouth a second time, the inhalents that'd already made their way into her body set about their work, and it wasn't long before the pangolin lost consciousness. [dice=6] And coincidentally, the jostling and eventual impact with the floor snapped Sally back to her senses... for a moment. " What... I.... no..." Aaaand back to sleep for the princess.

[dice=6] Isis was thrown into the air and toward the junk pile, however a quick twist of her body had her landing feet first onto the junk pile and then rebounding off, landing back on her feet. She stood again and glared at the crystaline hedgehog, throwing her cloak over to the side and readying her robotic claws. Malfunctioning or not, she was going to make sure he didn't leave in one piece. Then came the yell from her benefactor. She glanced towards it and saw the billow of smoke emitting from the hatch door. Isis let out a subtle 'tch' before turning away from Mephiles and running back to the ship. Upon seeing Nicole and Techno, The jackal quickly rushed inbetween the two, attempting to knock them both away from the entrance to the ship.

[dice=6] With the deed done, Tekno pulled out two gas-masks, ones that only covers the nose and mouth. "Alright now, I hope that-YIKES!!!" But then she saw the crazy jackel rushing for the kill. The sudden sight practially knocked her off the wall, but Nicole didn't seem to move. "NICOLE!" [dice=6] And faster than a speeding Spy-bot, Dulcy rushed in and took the blow for Nicole, being slammed right on the mud. Oh, and she's devoided of any 'Product of engineering'-sicles. "Ow..." Dulcy moaned as she quickly got up, ignoring the usual delirousness. "You're gonna have to get through me!" Taking a deep and deep breath of the smoggy air -- and she's quite use to it, after doing this in smoggy Robotropolis-- Dulcy released it as a mighty gust to blow Isis away.

[dice=6] Isis quickly strafed to the side, avoiding the dragon's gust of wind. The Jackal woman quickly rand around to the side and caught a glimpse of Nicole fleeing with the unconcious princess. Too far to catch up, isis threw up her robotic arm as the small lazer cannon attachment rose out of her wrist, firing off a staticy blast that gave a heavy backfeed into isis's arm, causing her arm to spark with energy as the jackal winced, stuned for a moment.

Obviously, it was trying to shoot Isis, but accidentally saved Nicole. What a hero! Four more Hover-Swatbots came, flashing their spotlight upon the figures outside the trashed ship. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!! Two, count em, TWO Hover Units landed a distance behind the Hover-bots, each dropping two Swatbots. MAN, Robotnik sure loves to play overkill! "By order of Dr. Robotnik, you are under arrest." one said as it, and another surrounded Isis Two Swatbots aimed their wrist blasters at Meph "Don't move." And two more, followed by the rest of the Hover-bots slowly approached Tekno and Dulcy. "Bloody hell. If we survive this, maybe I'll ask Nicky if I 'con move to her world."

Unfortunatly, Nicole saw that there was nothing she could do to help at the moment, as her combat abilities were limited and she doubted that the SWATbots were just going to stay still while she took the time to remote hack their systems and shut them down. So she took off into the woods with Sally, hoping that either she or the princess would be able to come up with a way to rescue the others soon.

Isis was still disoriented from the backlash of energy from her malfunctioning arm, and didn't notice the swat bots surrounding her untill it was too late. Looking up again, she glared at each one, holding her now limp right arm. Without many other options, Isis let out a small 'hmph' to herself and stood up straight in silent compliance, brushing a bit of hair out of her face before letting her left arm rest at her side.

Dulcy kept her paws up as she backed away next to Tekno. "I could take all these guys if I wasn't so tired from the trip. Well...get ready, Tekno. I'm gonna freeze these bots to Swasitcles then you make a break for it!" Before Tekno had a chance to speak, she noticed two more Hover Units lowering to the muddy floor. "Scratch that plan, luv. You won't be able to make it through more of these bloody trash!" Sighing, she raised her hands, "We'll figure out a way to escape...I hope." While more Swatbots marched towards the two Freedom Fighters, three Swatbots walked out of Fini's ship after they searched it. Each of two of the Swats had a pangolin in their arms and now was heading back to the Hover Units, and the other behind it was carrying a Robian squirrel over its shoulders. But it stopped when the new Swatbots met up with it. "Subjects piloting this craft is being transported to HQ. Subject here also identified as RG- 345007; worker-bot of San Grandia." The Swatbot nodded, transferring the data to HQ. "Acknowledged. Return it to Robotropolis HQ."While that drone-y conversation took place, a couple of Swatbots poked Tekno in the back, forcing her to move. "HEY!!!" she cried, snapping at the bot behind her. But when she did, that's when she noticed the Robian on one of the Swats' shoulder...a familiar Robian. "Shortfuse?!...SHORTY!!!!" But what they didn't know was that Shortfuse could hear everything, and the moment he heard Tekno's cry, "Grc...gr...l...le.....let.....her....let...her go..." The Swatbots glanced at the Robian body. It was starting to be surrounded by yellow electricity that was moving around its body like a scanner. The Swat holding it caught the sparks, only it was cutting through bits of its armor. "Let....her....go...." Shortfuse's body was twitching like crazy as the energy was getting stronger and stronger. And then...his eyes shined gold. "LET HER GOOOOOOO!!!!" BLAM!!That energy was released with a mighty explosion of energy, engulfing the Swatbots around him and Tekno and Dulcy. The dragon swirled her head as the Swatbots were being crippled; baffled about how this occured. "W-w-wha? How did-" Tekno breathed in relief; glad to see that Shortfuse has now awakened. "That was EMP. The Megatal coating I put in him absorbs EMP. Shorty somehow managed to...oh forget it, luv! Lets move it; that blast won't last more than a minute!" "Right!" without hesitation, Dulcy blasted off the floor and soared. Two Swabots, that didn't get caught in the blast, hurried after the Freedom Fighters, firing their wrist lasers. "Surrender!" [dice=6][dice=6] [dice=6][dice=6] But just as the lasers fired at Tekno, Shortfuse rocketed in front of her and intercepted a shot with his own, and took one shot with his arm. "ACK! Yo, Tekno! What da hell is going on?" "Explain later, Shorty! Let's fly for it!" she cried as she wipped out her wings from her arms and soared after Dulcy. The arches of his feet blasted rocket thrust before Shortfuse fly after the bird, where they were flying off where Nicole ran...and lasers completely missed them. While a couple of hover Swatbots chases after them, the rest forced their other captures to the Hover Units. A one Swatbot managed to find the frozen 27 and carried him to the Units.
