NPF Avatars 5 - The Big Come Down

[POS Industries]

"Man, I really wish I still had those Negative Kamen powers right about now," Pedro growled to himself as he ran down the hall toward the spa. Turning a corner, he nearly collided with the young man originally known as Jimmy the Intern who, after a series of bizarre events led him to devise a way to help Rei in her fight with Bruticus, was promoted and became Jimmy the Scientist.

"Oh! H-Hi, Mr. O'Sullivan..... sir!" Jimmy stammered, holding an armful of the little item summoning devices used by the tournament competitors, "I have the item teleportation modules you wanted. Grabbed as many as I can."

"Good, thank you," Pedro stated coldly, taking some of the devices from Jimmy's arms as he sped along to the spa.

"Uh.... also," Jimmy continued, following behind his boss, "I had one of the modules attuned to you, but I didn't have time to specifically assign a weapon, so I just used the randomizer function. I, uh, I don't know what you ended up with..."

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'm sure it'll be fine," POS sighed as he opened the door to the spa, revealing the chaos within. Crazed fembots and arguably equally crazed NPFers were tearing each other and the spa itself apart. The longer this brawl continued, the more money out of his pocket. "Hey, non fembot people!" Pedro yelled out as he ran in and tossed the modules in the general direction of the NPFers, "If you need weapons, use these! They're still attuned to your assigned items from the tournament!"

Keeping one of the modules for himself, Pedro pressed the button and activated the device, causing it to vanish in a flash of light, replaced by the sudden appearance of some bizarre gauntlets and boots on his wrists and feet, respectively. Looking them over, a bizarre thought echoed through his mind suddenly...

BUTTSECKS?

"What in the.... What the hell am I supposed to do with these?" POS griped at his present situation, trying to remember what the hell this stuff actually did. However, short term memory kicked in just long enough for him to stumble onto something.

...really wish I still had those Negative Kamen powers right about now...

Pedro grinned and took up a vaguely familiar stance, calling out, "Negative Kamen Power.... TRANSFORM!!" The boots and bracers began to glow, and Pedro's appearance was changed, his hair turned white, his eyes red, and his clothes replaced with a black tuxedo, cape, top hat, and dark metallic mask.

Looking himself over, he noted that this wasn't quite the same as the real thing. The material was a little cheaper, the stitching a bit off, and the blackened Heart Ring on his finger was quite obviously made of plastic. It wasn't a large leap to assume that his shadow manipulation powers weren't present here, but he did feel a fair bit faster and stronger, and the cane he had manifested was a perfectly useful blunt weapon, as the fembot that just lunged at him found out.

"Yeah, this will have to do," Pedro grinned, getting a feel for the wait of his weapon, "Jimmy, stay behind me. We've got to find the manual power shut down around here someplace. Off we go!"

-------------------------

Back at the tournament, the bear's snout had found its way into a rather delicious blueberry pie.

[Fenris]

Fenris snatched his weaponbracelet and slapped the button. The energysword manifested in his hand.

"Sweet."

'Hey, Irium, mind if you give me a boost?'

'I'm on it, Fenry!'

Fenris levitated into the air, and was launched into the middle of the swarm of Fembots.

Fenris slashed around, being propelled into fembot after fembot. He'd be aroused if the wasn't also covered in fembot guts. As he killed, a loud masculine voice yelled in his mind.

"Double Kill-Triple Kill-Killtacular-Kill Frenzy-Killtrocity-Killamanjaro!" the voice yelled.

"What the hell?!" Fenris yelled as he killed more, to screams of "RUNNING RIOT, IN THE ZONE, UNTOUCHABLE, UNFREAKIN'BELIEVEABLE!"

He decided to use it as a scoreboard. He reckoned he killed about 35 of them with the energy sword before Irium joined in the fray, launching Fembots into other Fembots, adding to the killing frenzy. More Fembots still swarmed in. "How many Fembots do you need, Pedro!?"

[Nikose Tyris]

Nikose proceeded to giggle, and grab his item, then call out, "HIT THE DECK."

He then let loose his first bolt of lightning for the fight, before reaching over, grasping Melfice's shoulder, and attempting to use Melfice as Leverage to get above the fight and grab onto one of the hanging light fixtures in order to spot around who needed his help most.

Nenyel let out a thought whisper that seemed to echo through the building, reaching the ears of everyone in the room.

"I was taking a God Damned NAP."

Nikose felt himself hoisted, and his arms held out and the ready. "Let's see how they like you NOW!" She tinkled, as Nikose hung from the lamp by one foot, and began feeling his muscles move as he pumped lightning out blast after blast, including aiming at the water.

With his free hand, Nikose also snatched the cursed hat off of Melfice's head. "I knew it was only a matter of time!" he laughed madly, throwing the hat out into the crowd of Fembots and sending lightning chasing after it.

[mauve]

Mauve had been loyally covering the battle, in all its complexities, since page one, even though you haven't heard her doing so. Trust me. She's been reporting it.

That stopped immediately, however, when it began raining pie.

"This just in!" Mauve said. "Screw the arena fight; there's PIE falling from the sky! I'll bet Jeneralissimo wasn't the first to cover THAT bit of fantastic news."

That report finished, Mauve hunted around for an undamaged (or at least moderately undamaged) pie and settled back into the arena seating for a dessert break.

"This kind of thing makes the whole job worthwhile," Mauve said pleasantly to Ecurt as she took a fork from her Pockets of Near Infinite Holding. "Random pie rainfalls."

[Melfice]

With Indori firm in hand, and questions firm in his mind, Melfice stormed at a group of bots.

When he came in contact with the fembots, he noticed they were flung away backwards like rag dolls, right into a bath tub.

"Nikose? You remember your basic school teaching, right? Thunder in that tub, right now!" Nikose aimed a spell at the tub, which in return caused a mild explosion, knocking over a few more of the entertainment robots.

"You are very impressive, indeed... Indori. What else are you capable of?"
"Let me show you." Indori oozed into a sword-like shape.

"Very well. Untill we find my own sword, this will do very nice."
"Your old sword? But with me, you won't nee-"
"It is an heirloom, I will not leave it. Now let's go." Melfice swung the sword, and decapitated several... and oddly, severely 'disfiguring' one, of the fembots.

"Nice swing... sir."
"Calm yourself, Indori. You will be the foundation of my fighting from now on. I'll be relying on you. But my sword is important to me."

[Demetrius]

Nimbly dodging flung, flying fembots and lances of lightning, Demetrius made his way up to the pair of heroes.

"Excuse me? Do you guys mind if I join in the fun?" Demetrius asked as he offhandedly ripped the heads off several nearby fembot and began hurling them back into the crowd.

"Also, do you guys have any idea where all of these are coming from?" As a fembot leapt toward Demetrius' back he spun and caught it in his arms, performing a quick tango before twirling it into the line of one of the lightning bolts.

[POS Industries]

"Also, do you guys have any idea where all of these are coming from?"

"The replicators have gone haywire," Pedro informed Demetrius as he cracked a couple fembots across the head with his cane, "Jimmy here and I are trying to make our way through the spa to manually shut down the power."

Meanwhile, more droids appeared and continued attacking, but seemed to be slowly organizing. A large number had moved behind Pedro and Jimmy as they entered and effectively blocked off the spa entrance, trapping the NPFers while other tore away water and steam pipes, raising the temperature, reducing visibility, and gradually flooding the area.

"Oh, fantastic," Pedro growled as the the water levels started rising around his feet, "I hate it when my socks get wet! Dammit!"

[Nikose Tyris]

Nikose shuddered, casting Nenyel into sword form again. This left him naked and worried, as he watched the water valves being ripped down. "Okay, time to make an exit!" Nikose called out. "Also, where'd our clothes go when we got teleported in here? Is there a locker or something, I need my stuff!"

Nikose flipped himself down into the now knee-deep water and shouted, "Everyone, Get out of the water! Grab shit on the ceiling, I'm gonna try and fry them all at once!" He started sparking.

[TheBlindMime]

As Mesden tightened down her grips on TBM’s shoulder he realized he was for lack of a technical term, boned. He shut his eyes tightly as Mesden prepared to rip him a new, everything. Because despite the fact his fish 4chan attack (that didn’t seem to do much besides make Mesden mad,) was completely provoked by Hawk she was going to tear poor TBM to itty bitty pieces for it. His mind tried to find some solace and comfort in his life to narcotize him from the immense pain he was about to be in.

Picking the most comforting image his mind could find TBM subconsciously changed shape, which surprised him almost as much as it surprised Mesden. As moments previous she was about to rend a mime asunder she now held a Penthouse magazine in her hand. Her hand reflexively released the magazine in disgust, allowing the pages to open with the centerfold proudly drifting open for all to see. It was a certain goddess in human form in all of her many glories. The vein in Mesden’s forehead hit critical mass before the magazine hit the ground.

As it poofed back into Mime he could do almost nothing but stare blankly at the woman before him, he had chosen what he thought was his last moment on this earth to picture the woman about to murder him naked and then transcribed that image automatically in page format. Now, she would assuredly kill him. He still had one chance, slim though it may be.

A land speed record by man on foot was set as TBM’s blurred form shot across the stage, he bumped into Hawk accidentally along the way nearly knocking the man to his ass. It was in no way intended though as his only thought of salvation was repeatedly reiterated by his panicked screaming. “RING OUT! RING OUT! RING OUT!...etc”

He was almost there, when the bell on his belt rang.

[Fenris]

Fenris Henshin'd himself a new set of clothes that looked like Nikose's, and took them off, and threw them to him. He then Henshin'd his own clothes onto his body, and thought to Irium, 'Let's get me in the air so I don't die, mmkay?'

'Okay, Fenry!'

Irium floated Fenris above the water by a few feet, moving Fenris around low enough to continue slaughtering fembots. In fact, Fenris was floating upside down, and continued to slice and dice the heads off of fembots until Nikose yelled the "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE IF YOU DON'T STOP SWINGING THAT STUPID THING!" signal.
