As Artifenix collects himself, a low-pitch beeping comes from a newly dug hole.
...Ah! Perfect!
Artifenix jumps into the hole...and comes out with the Auto-Shoveler and a host of new blueprints!
2 Weapon Upgrades, 1 Weapon Slot was spent on Artifenix!

Clutching tightly to an old book like a newborn, a girl cloaked in faded blue rushes through the rain into a ruined church. Taking care to avoid the many gaps and openings in the roof inviting the rain, she makes her way down into a cellar, stepping over a few broken pieces of wood that barely resembled a step. As she reaches the bottom, she turns back, realizing that she forgot to close and lock the door; not that it mattered, the dark knights that had pillaged this town all those years ago had already plundered its goods and nothing but rats and spectres remained.

A quiet thud erupts from the room as the book is placed gently on a makeshift wooden table. Taking a sec to catch her breath, the girl can’t help but feel a smile coming on as she lifts up a hood off her head.
I think this is actually it! …And if it’s not, then at least it’s something new!
But before that…
Holding out her hand, an apple appears with a wispy flare.
A quick bite to eat!
*chomp*
…
Eager hands lift the cover of the large book revealing glowing letters that shine through the dust that coats them. Licking her fingers, she turns the page…

From the skies comes 5 red orbs, each hovering above the portal. Suddenly one propels itself into the portal as the others fly back up, causing a vibrant red light to pour out. Stepping from it comes…

…The summoner?

(Originally from Post 11, Second Scenario but is mainly edited here.)

Blaze blinks as he spots the gates rising.
Woah…good job.(Just like that?)Alright lets-
The building starts to shake as a large metal claw lodges itself within the ceiling. As the pilot retracts the arm with a sizable chunk of the roof coming with him, a shout comes from his comms.

Domino 2 to Guardsman 1, be advised further unnecessary damage to this base will possibly result in a court martial.
Understood…I'll put it back.

As Blaze kicks the door open, a large piece of concrete crashes, blocking the entrance. Wasting no time, Blaze kicks the viewing window and easily shatters it.
On me!
Taking a step back, Blaze enters a running start before jumpkicking through the opening, striking an unfortunate guard. As he gets up, he sprints towards the gate.
(Almost there…)
Oh no you don’t!
Blaze looks back and solely regrets it as a massive metal claw grabs him by his torso. You could hear the wind break as Blaze is instantly yanked back towards the mech. Blaze closes his eyes before moving his palms in a circular motion then pushing them towards the mech. A scorching beam of flame strikes the cockpit, causing the mech to take a step back. Still the arm continues to retract before slamming Blaze into the ground. As Blaze hears the first loud thud coming from the impact, a second smash causes him to nearly lose consciousness. Much to Blaze’s surprise however, a third doesn't come right away, instead the arm rockets towards the sky, the sheer force causing his limbs to become nearly a foot away from his actual body. Blaze hangs in the air unable to move for what feels like minutes. Slowing rotates his head, he finds sparks coming from the arm before suddenly being dropped from the air. Bracing for impact, he sticks the landing while a second more distant thud can be heard. Perfect 10/10.

Stupid hunk of junk. Work darn it.
Domino 2 to Guardsman 1, what is your status
Arm's locked up. It's not even responding to the reboot process.
Understood, bring it back to the workbench asap for repairs.
Understood.
As Blaze gets up, he shakes the sand off before booking it once more. Along besides him seems to be a second set of footprints rushing slightly ahead.

Huh? ...Guardsman 1 to Domino 2, be advised of possible fourth contact with cloaking abilities, unconfirmed. Third and second hostile contacts are out of my visual.
Understood.

That's fine. Just return to Woe Labs or help out the military/defenses if they nee-.
The Junk Golem pumps his fists before striking Acorn twice, one punch after another!

Shining like a dying lightbulb in a dark room, the police bot lies motionless. Notably, its head seems to have been smashed in. It's unlikely that it will get back up soon if at all. Meanwhile, save for some loose metal scraps and a few other broken machines, it seems that this place is empty.
Star hears something shuffling on the ground nearby.

---

---

As the message is poorly heard and distorted through Gyro's receiver, the truck disappears under the ground and along with it the entrance way as the ramp closes.

---

---

As the underground lights speed past, you can breath a sigh of relief. You(Ark) can hear the chatter coming from the cockpit. It seems to be in high spirits. If you listen close enough you could tune in to their conservation.

---

---

As you view the items, various herbs and other liquids line the shelves. Suddenly a voice speaks up
So...2000Z right? 3000Z?
...Oh yeah! As it turns out, it seems that the store manager might have something off the menu for you through a misunderstanding. Whatever those glowing blue bottles might have in em might be worth the price tag...or might simply pose more trouble...

Changing Film Reel, standby

In the blink of an eye two arrows rocket towards the Charmed Curse-Head.Damaged Emblem Bow
The source of it sprints past Artifenix and briefly make eye contact. As a wave of realization props Artifenix's eyes up, the swordsmen slams down his blade with an unbridled ferocity onto Lapley! Magina Tachi Power Slash

Turning his attention back to the battle, Artifenix points forwards in an commanding fashion. A crunch follows as the Gladius Legionary slowly slashes at the Curse-Head with a massive blade Gladius Stirke. Straw can be seen pouring out of the mecha from the battle damage.

Godkiller Glass felt his strength increase from the Attack Booster. +1 in stage!
(His attack power at the start of this is unboosted, just for clarification)

Admiring his hard work, Artifenix sets out to make a Testudo. As he organizes his materials, a gust of wind sends a bag of nails flying off a table. As he reaches for them, a stronger gust knocks a hammer off, landing near his hand with a loud thud. With the current growing stronger seemly at every second, Aritfenix hurries to grab any materials he has and stuffs them into a leather bag. As the flaps of the circus tent (assuming that's right) go flying, a figure stands tall with a smirk wide enough to reach two rivers.
Meanwhile, the Gladius Legionary slowly whirls back his sword-arm before slamming it down onto Lapley. Gladius Strike

(Artifenix was switched in for Godkiller Glass)

Artifenix blinks before suddenly jumping up like a little kid.
Nicetrybutyourmagichasnoeffectonme!
Artifenix quickly goes to work on making a large construction, pouring all his WE(35) into it! Just as quickly as it's built, the machine whirls to life, revealing itself to be...a Gladius Legionary! Artifenix's skill generated him another wrench!
Turning to the crying genie, Artifenix begins to ramble on and on about something, increasing in speed, all in an attempt to help. ...Personally, I don't think slowing it down would really help all that much...

Hmm...
Artifenix looks over to Lapley being Lapley and sighs.
Well...it wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened. Hehe...heh...At least this one doesn't seem all that scary.
As Artifenix speaks, he picks up 7 different yet identical wrenches(costing 14WE) while the Auto-Shoveler continues to do its work. The last one is generated from his skill.

...Er...hello. I'm Artifenix, that knight guy making those cool turrets. While I was getting my bearings, I noticed you had a number of scrolls with a familiar red phoenix on them. Sure enough, as I read one, I realized they are actually blueprints for a construction. Now while I made a duplicate of that scroll, I never did get a look at the others. As such, if you would be fine with it, I could send you any trinkets I come across in exchange for me...borrowing these scrolls long enough to forge them. If your fine with that, just mark this scroll as such.
As the scroll ends, the barrel boy can be seen straightening some straw out on his head, forming different hairstyles.

As Artifenix continues to dig into the ground, he fails to notice the ground itself has changed. What he does notice is that Sarah seems to be distressed. Taking a second, he decides to place the shovel on auto-pilot, opting to sit besides her. ...You okay?

Out of nowhere, something barrels into the treasury...literally. It looks like a haybale with legs and arms. Stopping just shy of the two, it slowly gets up, taking a moment to brush itself off. A tiny wooden head pops out of its upper part, switching from a feeling of dizziness to one of wonder. Suddenly turning to both Specturm and Diamond, it waves hi, revealing a scroll in its hand.

Well...time to go grocery shopping!
...
The Raid Boss Fan suddenly barges into the shop, monitor still practically destroyed.

...Here you go!
3 Crown Coins fall onto the ground...after he picks them up, he turns around and tries to place them on the counter. Blindly looming around, he accidently selects three Coupon Booklets...and opts to purchase a new monitor, accidently purchasing an Attack Booster and 2 Level Ups in the process!

---

As Artifenix lands, he starts to dig through the ground with an auto-shovel. It seems that he's carrying with him a few scrolls.

---

---

Silently shivering to himself, Stache looks out to the midnight sky, watching as snow slowly floats down. Whatever anger, sadness, or other emotion he was experiencing before is replaced with a sense of strange tranquility. Closing an eye, he continues to meditate...
In tune with the emptiness of space and with the ghosts of his past, a purple aura envelops him.
Three new moves were learned/relearned! (Two from the T Quartet's reward and one from the level up).

---

---

An ominous wind hangs over the battlefield, blowing dust and glass onto the field.
...
A Skill was purchased!


....
Total Price
1500+3000+1500=6000. 6000*0.25(100/75(0.25*3))=1500? Is this right?

Yamato Man's Yamato Spear has the unquie ability to bypass barriers such as Core Shields and Plant Barriers.

Where we last left our tremendous trio, they, being Dust, Star, and Quint, have gotten word of their friends, the ARDF, needing help. Though the party prior seems to have cleared the way, it's best to be on the lookout for anything they might have missed.

As the trio opens the door, the signs of a battle can be seen. A defeated police bot can be seen as well as another further in glowing an ominous yellow tint.

---

---

Where we last left our (…hmm), where we last left our comical duo Freeze and Hornet, they, in contact with former Inco leader Banus, carefully drive a military truck to an remote location with materials. Indeed, even with two combatants, Ark and Gyro, dishing it out, these two highly-trained members of the former government are-
We’re running out of road!
I know what I’m doing.
As the truck drives towards a dead end, Hornet keeps looking back to Freeze and the iron fence just ahead.
...We’re gonna die aren’t we? I knew it, you have gone crazy, nutso, lost your marbles-
Will you quit that already?
Sorry…
Freeze nonchalantly taps a flashing green button above him, something that Hornet has just now noticed. As the ground rumbles, this seems to be Gyro’s last chance to hightail it out of here…but is it worth letting these no-good thieves get away? Course, the powerhouse that is Ark might not let him get that chance to decide.

---

Where we last left our cyplopian comrade, she had stumbled onto an old house. More than that though, it appears to be an ol heavily damaged and deactivated Picket Man.
…The smell of rubber in the air grows tenfold, almost enough to make you gag if your not careful.

8/10/22 Notes


A new feature has been added to raise the stakes! Ignoring any already encountered enemies so far, new enemies could have their stats and moves obscured. As you and they battle, you'll unlock new info about them which will be placed into the unit databank! Doing this could also net you a few points into a special currency named INTEL. Something to note is that having an high INT could help you learn more about a target easier but isn't required. What use INTEL will have is unknown(as in undecided) for now but stay tuned for more updates. If you've played beforehand, welcome back and if your new to this and wish to join, don't hesitate to let me know.

Also, don't know why I never did this but I added the Shop Database to the opening. Felt like a nobrainer but alas.

Finally, I actually updated the Suggestions Fourm. It has a bit more questions than last time but I would love to hear your opinion.

(If you have any questions about anything, feel free to DM me via Discord or MMRPG.)

And…roll em!...

…But first a recap!
When we last left our heroes, they entered the famous Doctor Ivory Woe’s lab in search of weapons to combat an otherworldly threat, the Glow. Stumbling onto a high powered cannon, MIDI and friends search around for any other gear. As Blast finds a weapon chip and Meddy a pair of defibs, Acorn rumbles through a pile of junk on his own with extendo arms.
[I got something. Let’s see what we have here.)]{}
Retracting, he reveals…an abnormally shaped mechanical eye.
...?...!
Crushing it, Acorn jumps back as the pile comes to life.

Encountered! Junk Golem, Ver. Lab Materials

We have company!

This unit seems to have a rare skill! Be on guard!

---

---

Where we last left off with our fiery friend, after wandering the streets with a heavy safe, he finds himself within a seemingly innocent shop.

---

---

Where we last left off our well-grounded heroes, Concrete, driven by a damaged former worker, races down a slope. Accompanying him is none other than Eddie!

Just as you see it, the lip of the cave’s cliff gives way to the bleak void. With the speed acquired from the descent, Concrete finds himself suddenly thrown forwards with no ground to stand upon. Below you, you barely see the Picket Man falling helmet first.

---

---

Where we last left our powerful heroes, they had started attempting to uncover a conspiracy in the works, stopping by for supplies first.
…

Hmm…let me just run the calculations, add the discount for federal police, badge please.
Blinking, P11 looks down before showing his badge to the old Joke.
...Perfect. Now…your total…will be…
578 all together. Are you gentlemen paying separately or together?


Beta will Receive: 1x Disciple of Benkai, 1x Blasting Lance Weapon Chip.
P13 will receive: 1x Plasmic Rifle, 4x Plasmic Cells
(If you wish to change/look over, just let me know.)

Where we last left our otherdimensional duo, there were being lead by a Ball Met when out of nowhere an Junk Golem attacked. However, its intent seems to be unknown for instead of attacking, it has taken the time to change form.

Junk Block Golem used Junk Fling, Rapid!

...2 damage was dealt to Darkin through a series of attacks![7/9]{health}

...3 damage was dealt to Brek through a series of attacks![10/12]{health}

...*creak*
Junk Block Golem starts to fire junk from itself at everyone!
This is an undocumented enemy! Fill out the blanks to gain special rewards!

New move discovered on this enemy! Junk Fling, Rapid. +1 ??? was gained. Tune in later to discover just what it is!

Bills...bills...more bills...
Weathered metal hands flip and toss letter after letter into a bin. Focusing on other things, he throws away a noticeably shiny letter in before imminently reaching back into the bin to fish it out.

  Hey if it isn't my ol pal Director Man! So...got a pitch for ya, think you'll love it. Remember that old project Legacy, from a few months back? Well... turns out the Big Cheese wants some more. Yeah, you read that right. Betcha just as surprised as I am, huh? Now...We'll have to run the story off from when we last had it. A reboot would take too long. Course we're gonna need a recap but I'm sure that's something you can figure out. I imagine you could just put some clips together or something.
  Now...while the daily airing of new Legacy scenes would be more preferred for the audience, I propose we switch to biweekly airings. Doing this should prevent our new crew from getting too warn out and let us better plan out our commercial breaks. Plus, it lets people catch up more, perfect for reruns. Now, We could get those ADMs(Assisting Director Man)s on but even with that we need to make sure we have something coming on otherwise they'll cut our funding again.
  If we aim for 3 times a week...that's at least 60 scenes. We can probably increase the amount as we go along but otherwise 60 main scenes should be good enough to push right into and slightly past the Glow Invades Inco Arc. From there...we can get the funding to make the second half of the season a reality. So...are you are your crew in?
...
As he reads the last words out loud, he turns behind him to greet a number of machines, each with a mix of expressions.
...Well...I'm certainly down...but what about you guys? You all in?
...

*Legacy will move to a triweekly/biweekly airing. Could be subject to change

With one shot, the raid boss fan is knocked down for the count.
...
...
...
Something glides above Tyr and friends.
Hmm...it should be below
Artifenix slowly descends into battle!

As Tyr uses his Steedslayer, the Raid Boss Fan contuines to ask him multiple questions before the blast overtakes him. As the dust settles...


A loud series of beeps echoes from its monitor before a myriad of colors appear on screen.

.
...
D-*static*D-Dude! That was aw-aw-asesome!! H=wepr How did you do tha-tha-that?

Once again, The Raid Boss Fan used Pester to the best of his ability!

Wow! A level resistance? Hmm...maybe it's cause- er...hmm...
The Raid Boss Fan seems confused before going back to asking even more questions such as!
Hmm...how can minecraft xp orbs hurt you but at the same time you can resist the level up that follows? Is it cause your so leveled up to the point that you don't need experience? ...Also also-

Pester was used once more!

...Wow, he's strong! I wonder...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!
For every hey, the figure gets closer and closer to Tyr, stopping just shy of him.
...I got a question! ...Well actually alot of questions!
Raid Boss Fan, who got here somehow, uses Pester!

A strange yellow glowing object flies out of RBF's pocket.

As it grows brighter, a fortuitous aura resonates around the field. Fortune Module EX was activated!
