| Ranma: "Comment on..." BOOM!! Ranma: "...what?" Ranma wondered what in the hell just exploded. All he heard was incoherent yelling from what sounded like Rain coming from upstairs. Ranma: "Okay...did someone just blow up something or what?" The shockwave hit again a second time, this time much worse. Ranma: "..." Ranma looked at Anya. A second later he jumped down towards the first floor area...which wasn't that bad, since it was only a floor. He looked back up at Anya. Ranma: "You comin'?" |

| "It's her again, but only this time, it's them, not just her, so be prepared before you head out." Rain pressed a few buttons on the smal touchscreen concealed at the base of her gun, making sure she didn't have to go looking for anything if things got tough. She started off by firing straigth up from where she was standing, after which the bullet blew up and caused a nifty little lightshow, granting her perfect protection for a short ammount of time; a tactic she often used to explore an unknown and potential dangerous area. The area was to her advantage, but she knew that the threat was not to be underestimated. |

| Ranma: "The heck do you mean 'them'?" Ranma took lead at running outside, especially after the comment that Rain made...her again? But didn't they just get done... Which was when a blast dropped right at Ranma's feet missing him by a few inches. And another. Another. Okay we be dodgin'. He went back inside as a grand total of eight blasts of equal strength meleed the hell out of the outdoors walk to the castle. Which was when he saw, her...him...it again...but not just one but eight of them. three on each of the walls that had just landed, which would explain the airborne blasts angle. Next to the overpass towards the enterance were two others the one up front waved the one behind her back and that person stepped forward. Ranma tensed....what the hell? It looked exactly like him...exactly like his...her side or...what the hell? Ranma: "I..." Ranma looked at the others for some sort of explanation when it hit him. It was so freaking obvious that he should've figured it out the first time they had encountered one of them. He stepped back...if that was true...they were in trouble. BIG trouble. The leader of the group stopped halfway between the distance of the enterance and the overpass and the group and spoke in a monotone: [Ranko?]: "Prime. We take. Now." |

| Rain, who hadn't stopped running due to her shield, turned around to see the others weren't exactly following her. She figured she forgot to shield the others aswell, and decided that perhaps having a two sided offensive would prove more effective, so she set off one of the previously programmed commands, aiming for the closest Ranko look-a-like. "Eat this!" A series of short blasts shot from the gun, growing in speed and size as they neared Ranko. Instead of hitting her, they formed a pattern around her, connecting towards eachother and locking in Ranko #1. She shot of another blast, which fixed the sphereshaped "prison" into place, immobolizing the Ranko she just captured. Rain walked closer with a grin from ear to ear. She poked the sphere and noted that Ranko was still immobolized. "Just so you know, the moment you can move, you better still don't. Or your little prison will detonate inwards. Quite painful." She turned away and checked the status of her barrier. No damage sustainted yet, thanks to the fact she remember to put her boots on. |

| Ranma: "DAMMIT MOVE!!" Ranma pushed Rain out of the way just in time to have several blasts converge right on the spot where she was which ignited into a shockwave of energy that exploded around the area. Luckily, the pair was out of the blast radius, Rain was covered by Ranma but all he got in terms of damage was some debris kickup from the blast. Ranma looked at Rain. Ranma: "Might wanna hold off on heading for an early grave, don't be stupid!" Ranma sharply turned his head as he felt another wave coming right at him. Ranma: "SHIT!" Jumped out of the way with Rain in tow, towards the entrance where another wave met them and clipped them enough to send them rocketing back inside to meet where Anya was gawking at the scene in a sense of shock. The attack wave stopped for some reason and Ranma slowly got back up to see what stopped them. His heart sank by what he saw. The lead 'clone' or whatever got back up, not really seeming to care that there were barbs cutting away at everything around her. Then she gave off a quick and rather violent blast of aura energy that shattered the field that had ensnared her earlier. That didn't seem to stop the fact that she had a large amount of blood escaping from several dozen cuts around her body. The 'Ranko' tried moving ahead but then seemed to realize that she was badly injured, only now for some reason, and put her head down for a second before kneeling and looking up briefly to mutter something unintelligible, but whatever it was it was enough to get the remaining seven's attention; they moved from their positions and slowly made their way from the group. [Ranko?]: "...kill..." The lead Ranko dropped like a rock after that, probably bled to death. Now for the seven that didn't show emotion to being pissed...but there was a definite sense that they weren't gonna go easy anymore... |

| ???: "Ew...I'd hate to be that one." One of the few spectators that was looking at this match via remote visual wasn't really pleased with what he was seeing, but could easily get some sort of humor out of all of this. They were like dolls out there. He took a look at some of the other data, and frowned at what he was seeing. It looked like most of the clones were receiving battle data, but only one incorporated it into their system and it wasn't until she fell. ???: "I can't even place her location anymore to get her back, they must have torn that one up bad." There was another voice behind him. Female. ???: "You mean 2?" He looked up behind him and smirked. ???: "So you've been watching behind my back the whole time or something?" ???: "No. Just came in about a few minutes ago. The viewmonitors pretty much tell the whole story." ???: "Oh, I always forget that you're a data junkie." ???: "I know, don't I just have the greatest rep here?" She said that dryly, as if to be sarcastic but not in funny way. ???: "Heh. It's not like I've got much better to do here and you know it. But it's better than the alterna---" ???: "HEY!! What are you two slacking off there for?!" A burly man, had to be over six foot six...or at least the way he stood out it made him look as such...came over to assess the situation. Obviously, it was a superior or a supervisor. ???: "Not at all...sir...just going over some data." ???: "Well don't be. We need these test results up to mainfloor by the end of the day if we don't retrieve Prime. You didn't even really give us decent odds in doing that much...and now you're slacking?" ???: "...Not at all...sir..." ???: "Yea. I bet. Just do your damn job and quit being so damn lazy." ???: "...Yes sir..." With that, the one man took his leave. From the look of thing, he liked to cause trouble to some of his subordinates. Probably because they 'looked punier' in his mind. Turning back to the conversation at hand: ???: "Damn...now I know what you mean by alternatives..." ???: "Huh? Oh he's like that all the time, Ames, you should know that by now." Amy: "Well, it's not like I get up here very often to see abusive conduct in supervisors, Trace. It's not like I really care for that kind of entertainment, you know." A little humor there. Guess it was fitting after an idiot walked through. Another warning went off at Tracy's desktop, 6 just went down. He didn't like the data. Tracy: "Looks like I'm getting another cryptic garbage read. Whatever these guys are doing is enough to completely wreck whatever we have on analyzing how they're getting taken down." Amy: "Hmm..." Amy took a look at the eight 'life signs' that were cascaded on the screen. Six greens, one yellow, one red. Amy: "Well maybe not personally, but the others are picking up what they've been missing. So we should get some decent return info after this is all said and done." Tracy: "Yea..." Trace's change in demeanor didn't go unnoticed... Amy: "What's wrong?" Tracy: "Huh? Oh it's nothing." Amy didn't bother pressing the subject, she had a feeling what he was getting at just by his sympathetic glance at the visuals alone. He definitely wasn't enjoying this slaughter. Tracy: "I'm retrieving 6 now. She's pretty much gone, vitals are almost completely shot. Can't seem to get 2, they really screwed her up. So we have six left." Amy took a seat at a side console. Amy: "Mind if I help?" Tracy: "I usually never turn it down with you." Amy: "I'll take that as a compliment and a 'not at all' then." Tracy smirked. At least there was the fact that this wouldn't go alone. There were a few supervisors scattered sparsely among the room, but it wasn't like they really knew anything about what was going on in general right now. Most were just militia officials. Tracy: "6 sent to Stasis Hold in Cell Hold in subfloor 7 successfully." Tracy sighed and shook his head. It was pretty cruel work doing this, but as he said before, it was better than the alternative. >>> The Ranko clone being attacked took the attack without blocking, or at least attempted to put up a block but did so with her arms. The force of that and the explosion of energy between Anya and Kyle's attack was enough to rocket her through the wall of the castle entrance and send her skidding a few feet. She disappeared a few seconds later. Ranma didn't really like this scene, at all. Maybe because there were so many of him, or at least lookalikes of him being brutally slaughtered at the moment. >>> One of the Ranko clones that took up leader status took a look at the situation briefly: E-0003 - Assessing... ... ... E-0002 status red. E-0006 status yellow, returned. Identification process... ...has completed. Mental library stack online. Assessing... ... ... Current ENEMIES tracked: RANMA, RAIN, KYLE, PRIME... Battle data assessed for RAIN, PRIME, KYLE, RANMA. Data remote upload... ...has completed. Current assessment: DI/CO Routine. E-0003, E-0004, E-0005: ATTACK KYLE, Tech Code 14-A ATTEMPT. E-0007, E-0008, E-0009: ATTACK PRIME, Tech Code 14-A ATTEMPT. Additionally, isolate targets RAIN, RANMA, KYLE. Retrieve PRIME. OTHER data: Reinforcement data... ... ...recieved. Current time to intercept: 412 seconds for Robotics deployment on field. ODDS for success in operation: ... .... ... 92%. >>> With that taken care of, after a moment's thought passed between that whole cryptic garbage, three of the Ranko clones converged on each person in control of the Cross Slash attack to counter their loss. Employing a rather painful looking attacking, considering all of them were instant transmissioning around both Anya and Kyle drilling them with a large amount of fierce kicks and punches which ended with all six of them kicking Anya and Kyle towards the castle simultaneously after a ten-second assault. They all stood there in the same stanced position. Ranma watched Anya and Kyle fly back and taste dirt after getting rivitted by the last attack. That was it. He walked up a few steps, checked briefly if those two were okay... Ranma: "You guys okay?" Anya looked up, a bit beaten but only ego-wise. She'd be fine. Kyle looked pissed but he was fine too. Ranma then turned to the six in front of him and his expression turned to completely pissed-off. Ranma: "...I dunno what the hell you things are...but you're going down...and you're going down now." Ranma charged up a ki attack and launched a blue sphere of energy at the group of six, or at least at the feet of them. It impacted the ground and shot up a lot of debris with the blast, enough to shake the whole area rather well. The dust settled and all the Ranko clones were encased in a solid ice block. Ranma: "Heh...that wasn't too hard." Ranma celebrated that victory for about ten seconds, which was all the time the group he just nuked to break the hold they were in as the ice shattered like glass and shards flew everywhere dozens of feet away. No...they weren't out of the running just yet. |

| "Perhaps you need me to soften them up a bit!" Rain giggled and winked at Ranma, after which she shot off a load that sent her back a few feet due to the backfire, but the result wasn't less spectacular for it. Roughly in the mid part of the sky above the clones, a black sphere started expanding, covering all of the opposition in it. As soon as it came, it left, leaving them all whincing slightly, after which they continued their offense once more. Only now, they had quite a bit of their health depleted, as Rain had shot off a demi bomb of sorts. "Now that was worth falling on my bum for." She quickly reloaded and shot off protective shells above each of her friends and herself, granting them perfect protection untill the barrier was destroyed. |

| Ranma finished off the salvo of blasting the six to kingdom come with several ki blasts aimed squarely at the group. The result was pretty much a nice large mushroom cloud. Nothing human could probably survive that...and the author was right...nothing did. But on closer inspection a few steps up by Ranma a few seconds later, there wasn't anything there either...like they had up and vanished. Well, that obstacle seemed to be out of the way at the moment...it's like they gave up or something...this was too easy and Ranma knew it...he walked back to the group... Ranma: "Nothing there...but I don't think we should hang around here much longer...especially if what I've been told is true...we won't wanna be here in about five minutes 'er so." |

| Anya and Kyle both look at each other. "The Pub!" Celestria walks out of the castle and simply shakes her head, "I think the sanctuary in Vane would be a lot better." She then walks over to Ranma, "But why? What's going on?" |

| "Can I get drunk either way?" Rain passed Celestria and went straigth to her room, to reproduce as many bullets and mix components as possible, in case they'd leave soon. |

| Ranma: "Heh...actually I wasn't---" Ranma took a second to throw his arm back into thin air, clonking a stray Ranko clone that had materialized right behind him, the last one. She phased out a few seconds later. Ranma: "---kidding. These aren't the last of your problems here I'm afraid. At least...what I've been told. Less of course it was a prank 'er something but...I doubt it." Ranma definitely wasn't liking this though. The whole thing sent ice shards down his back. It wasn't like he dealt with clones or manifestations of himself before...but this many? Ranma: "We should prolly get what we have here and leave before---" He was interrupted by a large amount of rumbling that came north of where he was. Taking a look farther you could see a line of something, a rather large line, coming out from the hillside towards the castle. The rumbling got worse as it approached. Ranma: "---that." |

"......yea, I could use that drink right about now."  Anya says, looking over to the horizon. "Now this would be a nice time to have an airship or something like that, huh?" |

| Ranma: "Uhm...you're being nice? He weighs a freaking ton!" Okay, jokes aside...gotta get things organized before--- KABOOM!! ---that. The whole castle shook when an energy blast shook the castle from one of the lead robot droids that were in line to making their way to the castle. Taking a look from where Ranma could, he figured there were several hundred of them... Not. Good. |

| Ranma: "I don't---" BAAAM!! CRASSH!! Two more shots impacted on the side of the castle. Ranma: "---know if they'll last that long." Ranma was at a loss, geez...he got here only an hour or two ago and already he's in hot water with the rest of the crew... Ranma: "Uhm...uh...crap? Eheheh?" |
