Knight Man gave Jericho an encouraging look.

That is all a warrior can ask for. Give everything you have, and there's always a chance of success.

Knight Man and Jericho moved to their starting positions, and the judge initiates the match. Knight Man watches Jericho to see how hasty he is.

OOC: I'm assuming Jericho has armor but no weapons because no weaponry is specified.

If Jericho moves first: Knight Man evaded to the left, turning his body clockwise and slamming Jericho over the head with his shield. Dazed from the shield hit to the back of his head, Jericho should give Knight Man enough time to sweep his legs and pin him to the floor.

If Jericho waits for longer than 3 seconds at the start of the match: Knight Man advanced towards Jericho aggressively with his shield to bait him into attacking, in which case Knight Man responds with the above plan. If Jericho still does not attack, then Jericho is being too cautious, and Knight Man makes the first move, socking Jericho in the face with his fist, hitting him in the side of the head with his shield, and kicking him in the gut with his foot.

OOC: As I said in another thread, I won't be able to respond for, at max, another week after this, so this story may stay stagnant for a bit.

EDIT: My appointment had complications, so I'm rescheduling to Friday. I'll be available before then.

Ring Man would've been absolutely livid, jumping straight into combat the moment he heard the boomerang whirl through the air.

But he was too busy wallowing in self-pity.

*sighs* Mick Quan. I-I really should've seen this coming, I just......

I need a moment.

Ring Man walks over to the wall and sits down quietly.

OOC: I'm gonna be unable to get on for, at max, another week, so I won't be able to update Ring Man's interactions with anything for a bit.

EDIT: My appointment had complications, so I'm rescheduling to Friday. I'll be available before then.

OOC: Ah, yea that makes much more sense.

Well, since I'm here, I might as well see if anyone has anything worth my while.

Ring Man glances around the floor, seeing the usual suspects and giving a dirty glare at Junk Man (no pun intended), when an unfamiliar merchant catches his eye, the disheveled sign on the front of the stand saying,

......MickWon? MickWAAAn....Miccawn?

Ring Man gives up and approaches the stall.

Uhhh, you. Mr. Mickwuzurfaec.
What kinda stuff are you lookin to sell here?

OOC: It just occurred to me; doesn't Ring Man have 3,000 Zenny left from what he didn't spend on upgrades?

Well, to be fair, you were going to end up disabled anyways.

Ring Man walks over to Metal Man's disabled "corpse" and extracts the data for the other MM2 bots.

Good talk.

>Fight/Run: Ring Man flings a Standard Ring at Bubble Man before leaving 3B and heading to Floor 5.

Ring Man gave Wood Man an unnerving look.

Funny you should ask; there's something I've been wanting to give him for a looong time.

>Fight: Last question: where can find info on these bots' locations? I may have business with them, too.

Ring Man wasn't satisfied.

>Talk: Still not any reason as to why you chose this particular mansion......This isn't exactly my first choice for a base of operations.
But also, does Mega Man have any idea about this?

OOC: I've already used the Pecan Pie, so that needs to be removed from inventory, and I just used an E-Tank, so that needs to be removed from inventory AND I need full HP now. Also also, the Ring Driller's stats weren't changed the first time I used it, so the water units should be 29.0 and the XP should be 12 instead of 7.

OOC: Btw, I already ate the Pecan Pie, so it shouldn't be in my inventory.

>Item: Satisfied at Metal Man's pulverized remains, Ring Man's rage drops and he lets out a sigh, leans against the wall, and pops open an E-Tank.
>Inquire: So, now that I think I've made my point, I was wondering:
What are you bots doing here? This mansion isn't exactly a tourist trap.

At this point, Ring Man has lost it and isn't even going to respond to Metal Man's remark or the rampaging eskimo and Pokemon that just appeared onto the battlefield.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

>Fight: Ring Man gives Metal Man no time to recover, using his Ring Driller to burst through the Bubble Barrier and gash Metal Man.

Knight Man pondered the judge's words as he adjourned to the mess hall. Secret to his power? He'd never considered that there was some hidden potential within himself he was unaware of. Did he not know his own strength as well as he'd thought?

Knight Man pushed his thoughts to the side; it was break time, time to not think. Knight Man walked up and ordered some Fast-Burn Gel, an effective, yet not unhealthy pick-me-up that helped keep his head in the game after a fight. Not that the last ones were exactly tiring.

After he was finished, Knight Man got up and decided to return to the Training Grounds to practice, assuming there were no Matchups occurring. Otherwise, he settled for simply watching the matches. One should never pass up a chance to learn more about a potential opponent.

OOC: Is Bubble Man's attack not listed for a reason?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said "you could take me".

>Fight: Ring Man wastes no time dashing in and smashing Metal Man's face in with the Ring Driller.

Come on, Metal Man; surely you're not weaker than TOAD MAN, RIGHT!?

@NiceIce : I....I don't-I don't understand what just happened.

Yea, because we haven't decimated the 4th wall multiple times already.

.....mmmmmmmYea that's fair...

Seeing as two of the enemies were melee fighters, Knight Man settled for the sword. As long as there weren't mainly projectile fighters, Knight Man had decided on the sword anyways.

Knight Man quickly assessed the situation. There's no way he'd be able to safely approach the sniper with all three of them positioned as such, so he'd have to make a way for himself...

Knight Man advanced on Enemy2 standing in the front, hitting him in the head from the right with the hilt of his blade (sorry for that preposition dump) and spinning around to slash him across the chest. Knight Man kicked him down for good measure and moved to meeting Enemy3, bracing for Enemy3 to charge. He deflected Enemy3's weapon with a sword parry and kicked him in the gut, causing the Enemy3 to reel backwards. Knight Man then charged Enemy1 while using Enemy3 as a shield and pushing Enemy3 into the sniper, knocking them both down. Lastly, he ran the sword down through Enemy3, shish-kebobing the 2 bots on top of each other.

Ring Man quickly hurls a very angry Shiny Ring at Metal Man without warning, and casually approaches the robots as the ring returns to his hand.

Ho ho ho ho ho, WOW.
That. Is a good one.

Ring Man happened to catch sight of Baudelaire's room and remembered something...

Son of a doctor, I forgot to give him his freakin inhaler. *sigh*
Well, it's not like it horribly matters, though. I'm not getting anything more from giving him the inhaler anyways, so why even bother? I hope Adrina pulls one over on him again just so I can let him rot in a cell.
.......Until I want another upgrade....

Yea, Ring Man just talks to himself as he walks up Floor 3's staircase.

I don't have time to crawl through some filth-ridden dungeon; these robots are no doubt already on the move.

Ring Man walks towards the large, green portal. Before stepping in, he asks,

Oh, and again, if I want upgrades in the future where should I find you?

OOC: Oh whoops I'd assumed these were self-aware bots.

Knight Man advanced towards the enemy, raising his shield to block any oncoming bullets. When he reached the enemy, he performed the same trick he did last time, backhanding him with the shield and uppercutting with his right. Knight Man didn't have to impress anyone yet; these battles were just to prove one was competent as a fighter. Nevertheless, after the enemy was disabled, Knight Man took the time to look around for a weapons rack, preferring a sword, but settling for a spear or staff. If there were more enemies to come for this round, it's possible that they'd be armed differently than this one, and Knight Man wanted to prove he wasn't just a muscular tin can. He knew how to fight. However, he did want to see who the enemy was first before deciding...

SHINY800

Whoa whoa wait a second, that's Metal Man, and his mechas, too. What the heck are they doing here? I wonder if the others have tracked me here...
....Or maybe they're still looking for Mega Man. And if he is here...
I now have a way right to him.

Hey doc-

Yea?

Shut up.

:(

Doc, are those robots still at 3B currently? And do you know of any more incoming? If you do find out about it, let me know immediately. I'll, uh, take care of this.
