The Night That Changed Everything (RP)

[LlamaHombre]

Flame Man growled audibly at the sound of explosions. Looks like the only time he'd truly get relaxation would be the first five minutes after he stepped through the door. No matter, he thought as he stood up and walked over to Plant Man. There was one of the foreign robots from earlier, desperately trying to die of alcohol electrocution or something.

"Any idea as to what's going on here?" Flame Man asked his former ally.

[Magnet Dood]

Star Man had chatted with Honey Woman for a bit until they left for another section of the party-ground. "Made your move, Star, made yo-" At this moment, Star Man was knocked square on his side, crumbling to the ground from a sucker punch by Grenade Man. "Why, that lousy, no-good..." he muttered when he saw Quick Man extending a hand. Grabbing it, he thanked him when he heard the explosions rock the city. "What the heck was-" he said as he turned torward them and saw himself silhoutted in the flash. "...Hey, Planty? Was that supposed to happen, or what?"

"It's about time I found this place," Reliever Man muttered as he walked up to the party's location. "Must've taken half an hour to get here." He entered the party and saw the many party-goers. Keeping a low profile, he took a seat near Fake Man, wondering why everyone was frozen looking off to the side.

((god damn it I keep reading "Planty" as "Panty"))

Snake Man removed his shades that he was totally wearing between scenes. There was a loud noise followed by incoherent screaming, which he assumed to be Grenade Man, but after that... more explosions? Then the pool lit up from whatever was happening in the sky. A flash of light, some silhouettes, and... teleporting Guts Man?

"What the Gamma... ?" Snake Man muttered to himself. "Ehh... this can't be good news in the slightest..."

He turned to the gates and saw Auto's truck pull up, with a sizable group of Robot Masters huddled in the back. Snake Man smiled. Maybe the visions were just his imagination. It didn't matter to him anymore, Heat Man had this strange intangible charm to him. His simple design, those dopey eyes, or maybe that nerdy laugh. He didn't even have to try very hard to lighten up the mood. Snake Man also noticed a few other robots like Guts Man, Pump Man, and...

Oh no.

Not him.

Snake Man avoided waving to Heat Man, sinking in the pool to avoid being seen by...

"Bomb Man." He hissed to himself in disgust.

"Alright buddy, it's gooooooooooood to go" says the Metool Crew as they finish Galaxyman's repairs. Galaxyman had fallen asleep during this time, too oblivious of any noise. He wakes up and looks around, only to see a mass amount of arguing, PlantmanxHoneywoman crying in a corner, and Snakeman trying to be the next Snape.

Amongst his looking about, he remembers that he was in fact invited to this party. A thought occurred: where was his gift? He had forgotten to bring one. Rushing back out the front door panicking, he spots a nearby truck. Knocking Snakeman aside, he hijacks Auto's truck and begins to drive to the nearest MegaMart to pick up his gift.

It was at this point that the group was suddenly surrounded by Police Joes. Stepping into the circle was what seemed to be another Fake Man.

"So, you are the ones responsible for this!" The duplicate(?) Fake Man said.

"Wh-what?! No! We didn't-" Plant Man started to explain.

"SILENCE!!" Fake(?) Man shouted. He pointed his revolver-buster at Plant Man.

A single shot was fired that pierced straight through Plant Man's ches plate. He fell backwards, a stunned expression on his face. Honey Woman was horrified, and knelt down to him to pick him up.

"You imposters are all to be decommisioned immediately!" Fake(?) Man shouted, and the Police Joes raised their busters.

[Hallan Parva]

((a fake Fake Man - hue))
((also I could've really used Heat right about now - glares at Rozark))

Well, scrap. Snake Man put his shades back on. Just when I was almost having fun. He got out of the pool with his hands up.

"Look, buddy, I don't appreciate you bustin' my friend up, ehh?" Snake Man looked at Questionable Man. "We're just trying to have a party on New Year's. I don't know who's going around attacking the city, but for once you're jumping and shooting at the wrong set of thematically-organized battle robots. Honestly, I'm a bit disgusted. I could just spit, ehh."

"... Actually, I think I will."

Snake Man spit at the ground, though it wasn't saliva of any sort. The blob hit the grass and formed into a Snakelet nearly instantly, crawling up to Snake Man's chest plate. With a single tap, a door opened and a swarm of Snakelets jumped out to surround their master.

"Ehh, how's about you let us have our fun? Or do we all have to party on your eight-bit metal asses?"

[LlamaHombre]

Before a response even came from Plant Man, the answer made itself apparent. The place was surrounded. Flame Man knew there was alcohol here, but jeez, no need to bring explosions to the mix. Another cop came in. Great, Flame Man grumbled to himself. I wonder if he's going to perform a "random background check" like I got at the airport. "Random" indeed. Plant Man tried to calm the man down, but shots were fired nearly instantly.

Flame Man watched in horror as Plant Man collapsed nearby him. As Honey Woman cared for him, however, he understood what needed to be done. It's been a long time since I've had to do this, he thought to himself. Only this time, it's more than selfish desire.

Flame Man instantly dashed forward, leaping at the last possible second. On his way down, he began launching fireballs at Fake Man?, purposely missing some to create some pillars of fire around the impostor. He landed behind Fake Man? with an audible thud, and began preparing for another attack.

When the series of explosions happened, Ballade was startled, jumping out of his seat and instanly changing to a battle stance right after. "Maybe it's a new challenger!" He said, with his combat programming tingling.
He ran right to the commotion area, keeping his battle stance. "Looks like there will be formidable robots after all!" He preps his forearms, pointing at those in the area to find the advesary.

[Azure Sky]

After finally regaining himself from his sober state, Tengu Man quickly notices the new force. Thinking rapidly, he draws his fan blades and extends the razor wings on his jetpack. "Fighting foes like these? You've got to be kidding me. This'll be over quick."

He swings his fan buster creating a Kamaitachi wind sphere, trapping the Joes in place and keeping them standing still.

[Rozark]

Finally arriving at the MegaMart, Galaxyman flies out and heads into the store. "DOO-DOO" goes the bell as the sliding door opens. Basking in the smell of what is simply known as "Store", he stands for a moment before moving on. The other robot masters in the back had no clue what was going on. Auto decides to go in and pick up some potato chips because he had a craving for some mashed potaters.

Up and down the aisles Galaxyman went. People and children of all ages watched in terror as the robot walked amongst them like a normal being. No amounts of sugar, confetti, or pizza rolls could satisfy the riot that was going down at that party. He needed something bigger, yes, something bigger than a disco ball.

Hours passed and the robots were restless. Tired of listening to Space Jam for the 43rd time, they were about ready to just steal Auto's car when suddenly Auto walks casually out of the store snacking on his chips. Licking his fingers from the chip dust, he remembers that he had a party to go to. Quicker than Quickman with speed boots he hopped back into his truck and sped off back towards the flashing lights in the sky.

Galaxyman decides to ask the manager where the big things are kept. "Sorry, I don't speak English" said the manager in English. Galaxyman blinks for a moment, then proceeds to throw a black hole bomb at the manager. "WHY ME I DID NO-" were the manager's last words before he went into the abyss. The black hole dissipates into oblivion. With that out of the way, Galaxyman proceeds to the general back of the store.

Bursting a hole through yet another wall, he came across the perfect party favor. Smiling absurdly, he finds a Disco truck full of confetti, a casket of Etanks, and a crate marked "OPEN IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES". The man of space hops into the vehicle and drives off through the middle of the store, onwards back towards the party. An angry janitor follows, wildly waving his mopstick as he forgot that he left the keys in the ignition. Galaxyman hopes that Snakeman will forgive him and not snide boast about his sneaking operations.

Star Man was stunned as his friend collapsed to the floor.  He rushed over to Plant Man and slid in front of him, creating a Star Crash along the way. "We need to move him! Get him to a safer place, I'll cover you!" He fired off a couple of Star Buster shots to ward off incoming Joes, all while staying in front of Plant Man to absorb anything else coming his way.

Of all the things to ruin a party, of course it's gotta be the fuzz, he thought angrily.

Reliever Man was startled when police forces surrounded them. When one Police Joe started firing at him, he dove behind a bush, forming a Rebound Striker in his hand. "These might be Strike Man's, but at least I was programmed with them..." He shot up, got into a pitching stance, and curveballed it into a Joe's side, splitting it in half. Forming another, he fastballed a second Joe right in the chest, sending him to the ground.

"One more," he said as he formed another Rebound Striker. He pitched a sinker that fell onto one unlucky Joe's-

"Ouch," he said quietly as the third Joe fell. He then ducked back to cover, waiting for the fighting to relax.

Suddenly surrounded, Enker leapt up from his seat and drew his Barrier Spear. Making a beeline for the nearest immobilized Police Joe, he delivered a series of quick stabs and finally a powerful kick. The poor sap went flying and landed in the pool with a splash, but it still appeared to be operational. Finally noticing it, Enker removed the empty, crushed, punctured E-Tank from his helmet, and raised his spear, preparing for any attacks that may come his way.

Bubble Man, who was still in the pool, fired a Bubble Lead at the Police Joe. Instead of damaging it directly, it trapped him in an acidic bubble prison. The Police Joe, helpless to escape, floated gently out of the pool, with the acidity of the bubble slowly corroding him. As it floated high enough, Bubble Man fired his buster at the bubble, popping it effortlessly. Police Joe fell to the ground, and with his weakened frame, shattered and fell apart upon impact.

[Azure Sky]

As the Joe bots were slowly torn to shreds within his previous wind sphere attack, Tengu Man noticed the onslaught of the police force kept coming. "Damn! Reinforcements! Nothing I can't handle." Aiming his buster, he shoots a Tornado Hold that sweeps across the ground, flinging all the Joes caught in its suction sent flying. As they fall, Tengu Man quickly ascends and swings his buster, sending a Tengu Blade wind slice flying right at the falling Joes. Slicing them all in half, Tengu Man descends saying "How many of these police force robots are there?! Either way, I'll be sure to take as many as I can down!" Tengu Man readies his buster for the next attack.

[-FiniteZero-]

(I'll apparently need to control Terra during the weekdays. Buh.)

Terra just now realized what was going on (having been focused on his own matters). He quickly fired a Spark Chaser at one Police Joe and looked at a second one. "My hair gives me teleportation!"

He teleported behind that Joe, smashed his buster off, and shot that Joe as well as the ones around it.

Honey Woman got a fire in her eyes as she carried Plant Man with one arm. With her other arm, she began firing her Sting Cannon at several Joes, tearing them apart as she attempted to get Plant Man to safety. She was glad Star Man was helping cover their escape. "We should get going!"

[Hallan Parva]

Snake Man just looked around. Here he was, trying to be the hero and talk the Joes away, but no. What did you THINK was going to happen? Snake Man looked around him. He was just standing there in the middle of the park, surrounded by his Snakelets, while the Joes and the party guests were busy snapping each other in half. They're Robot Masters! The only thing they really appreciate is a good fight. Talking them down... Heh! As if THAT would have worked...

He decided that he wasn't going to risk embarrassing himself any further. The other RMs looked like they had everything under control, anyway. He knelt to the ground, recalling all but one of the Snakelets back into his buster chamber, then ran back to Plant Man. Honey Woman and Star Man were fighting off the Joes, but it wouldn't do any good once the reinforcements arrived. He lowered his hand, letting the Snakelet crawl to his fingertips and jump from his palm to Plant Man's chassis. Within seconds the Snakelet coiled itself up and formed a makeshift stopper, plugging up the area and protecting it from further damage.

"Ehh... I know it's kinda gross, but it's the best I can do," Snake Man said. He lifted Plant Man up and gave Honey Woman a tap on the shoulder. "Ehh, you know Plant Man the best out of everyone here. I need you to follow us, give us cover. We need to get outta here."

"Unfortunately for you, Toy Story..." Snake Man turned to Star Man, his Star Crash spinning with energy. "YOU should stay here, ehh?" Snake Man gave a sly grin. "That shield of yours can give us a nice exit, so you stay here while I bring in some backup of my own." With that out of the way, he started to drag Plant Man toward some hedges, where they could hopefully slip away unseen. He took a brief pause, though, turning once more to Star Man.

"Oh, and Buzz." Snake Man released three more Snakelets to assist Star Man before returning the favor with a mocking salute of his own. "Ehh, tell Andy I said 'hi' for me."

Snake Man dived towards the brush, Plant Man in tow.
