*grooooooooooan*
Mighty rolls pathetically along the floor in the general direction of the staircase before deciding to prop himself up onto his feet.
They took all my Starforce... I feel
kinda hollow now.
He shakes his head vigorously to come to his senses.
So, it's a good thing I brushed up on my close quarters kongbat!
...Well, no way to go but forward, I guess. After you!
Mighty sidesteps, opening a way down the staircase to Sharena in a comically courtly manner.

Alright, noted!
Chord rummages through the available catalogues, picking out a top-tier shield generator system, as well as littering his design with multipurpose crystal-looking things that caught his eye while he was browsing them.

Mighty is lying face down on the floor, unresponsive but still clearly alive. Maybe even conscious. He's just being lazy.

Long story. I'd love to tell it, but I can't afford any distractions, I have to make sure the right people jail me for your pal the Summoner's sake. Buuuut...
Mighty conjures a phone with YouTube installed and "speedrunning" already input into the search bar, then tosses it and the Swift Medallion to Soleil before flashing a mischievous, but not malevolent, grin.
I think you'll be able to figure it out on your own just fine.
Not malevolent to those present, anyway.

OOC: I feel it needs to be mentioned that this is an offshoot timeline. None of this actually happened in real/main Chaos Zone history. As such, it cannot affect Snipe Joey.

WA-WA-WA-W-W-W-W-WWWWWWWWWWWWW A H O O
Mighty appears to have suddenly imploded. Not a full second later, Sharena is swept off the face of the Earth by an unseen force.

...Then suddenly, within 10^-∞ seconds, an orange blur comes from out of nowhere and completely vaporizes both Prontoman AND Tachyon Man! The figure then looks back at his work, wearing Tachyon Man's Medallion like an Olympic medaaaaaaaand he's been dropkicked by Mighty carrying Sharena, who immediately disappears from that particular timeframe.

LORD LEIF GET DOWN!
Thea tackles Leif to the floor to avoid the rocket shot at them, But before the enemy can fire another shot, a bolt of light magic shoots out from the corridor, striking the robot!

Sorry. friend!

the figure then stepped to the side as another came running in, jumping up and slicing their sword down on the robbit, cleaving it in two!

Smile! you're dead!

Suddenly, Mighty and Sharena bust through the wall, staring down Soleil, Swift Medallion in hand.

Mighty ponders his options for a moment, before backpedaling at a wall, then trying to backpedal into the wal again, and again, and again, and oh for God's sake he's BLJing.

Whatever they are, two or three seem to be in working condition.

Blast, I'm genuinely sorry, but you're going in plot limbo until at least tomorrow. I feel like I should do some sort of luck roll here and I just don't have any ideas at the moment.

Well, everyone else is probably just staring into the Armory as well, except MIDI. He seems to be trying to operate the giant cannon propped up by weathered chains.

The only definitive win in Bert's career is posthumous, and he gains nothing from it...
Hell yeah! I'll let you know if I find something! In the meantime, you mentioned a higher power output, yeah? So, that means I could prooooobably just go and...
Chord begins making many alterations to the model, staying in about the same size but adding multiple energy-intensive components.

The drive contains a deceptively large number of copy weapons. You think you saw three copies of Wave Burner in there.
So, like, about that core. What does that all even mean in practice?

Surprisingly, the actual components underneath the abhorrent wiring are perfectly fine! Not exactly top of the line stuff, but what were you expecting? Three things that stand out the most are a military grade temporal stability module; the power core, the glow of which has a minty green coloration despite its apparent Copy typing... or is it Neutral, but the VWS changes it? You never know with these things; anyway, there's also another strange crystal on a chipset that's definitely doing something, but you're not quite sure what. Best keep that in.

Okay, hold on, not my first rodeo either, lemme just...Many browser windows flash in and out of existence rapidly, as a more persistent Blender window opens in the background in which Chord quickly begins making a model of what he'd like to look like, as well as a .txt in which he's dumping the various modules the Conglomerate has to offer that he'd like installed.Oh, by the way, is that new guy over there some kind of IT technician? If you are, thank you for saving my life, but also would you be so kind to help me fix up the data on my Copy Weapon drive?
