The City Of Love

Kelphy: <This is it...>

-----

*The six NetNavi appear in the network version of that suite. ShadowMan runs out and down the hallway into the elevator.*

IceMan: <H-Hey, wait up!>

*Iceman follows him.*

=====

Ella: <Wanna play house?>

Axl follows as well, "I don't like six vs one, it isn't cool but I'll relent this time."

Starman dashes forward and follows as well picking Iceman up, "Need a lift little dude?"

*Spider follows everyone.*

Spider: <I really hope this is a good idea.>

*CrashMan runs along as well*

CrashMan: <Time to kick some ass!>

Kelphy: <Perhaps we-->

Razz: <Do it already.>

-----

*IceMan glares at him like "Put me down fucker.". When they all reach the elevator, ShadowMan pushes the green button below the ground floor one and the elevator goes down to the same place from before. It's a wide room of blue circuit board walls without a ceiling, under a green wireful sky. A golden wall with a golden gate with red linings at the middle blocks the way forward. GateMan appears in front of the gate.*

GateMan: <This floor is off-limits. Please retreat or you will be deleted.>

*He then notices Axl.*

GateMan: <Haha, you again? I see you brought the whole babysitter gang along this time.>

IceMan: <Shut up already!>

*IceMan shoots forward, skating at high speed as an ice path forms beneath him. GateMan's chest opens up and a cannon slides out, blasting IceMan back towards Spider.*

*Spider sidesteps to avoid Iceman and walks forward, pulling out 5 cards per hand.*

Spider: <This isn't the time to be screwing around.>

*Spider throws all 10 cards at GateMan at once.*

"Well this is going to be a repeat performance" Alto facepalms.

---

Axl dashes forward and intercepts Iceman midair helping him land safely before drawing his Axl guns and opening fire on Gateman.

Starman lets loose a flurry of shooting stars which rain down from above on Gateman.

Zeno: <Sure. Can I have a tour?>

*A gate appears floating in front of GateMan that sucks all stars, shots and cards in. The cannon slides back into GateMan chest and twelve little sword wielding creatures hop out, advancing towards the group. IceMan breathes in and blows a barrage of snowballs at three of them, destroying them.*

IceMan: <How are we supposed to damage him?!>

=====

Ella: <Whassat?>

"Dunno" Axl rockets skyward and shoots from above.

Starman backs off the attack so the sky is clear.

*Spider's face grows in shock slighty.*

Spider: <This... will be more than I bargained for.>

*Spider pulls out another card and throws it in between 3 of the soldiers. It glows yellow and explodes soon after.*

Zeno: <You show me around... all the exits... nice rooms... exits...>

*CrashMan all this time had been running around GateMan to reach his side. CrashMan fires off both his Crash Bombers towards GateMan's chest*

*The mini-soldiers are all wiped out. GateMan's cannon appears and he blasts one of the drills before leaping aside to dodge to other one. He runs forward and punches at Crashman's face. A large energy hand reaches out of the portal, and punches IceMan, who was approaching rapidly, into a wall.*

=====

Ella: <Oh. The elevator's the only exit. Unless you fly out the hangar. The rooms are all old offices, locked rooms that make weird sounds and the conference rooms the scientist dudes are in.>

Axl hovers around and takes potshots at Gateman. "Maybe if we, you know, attacked as a team guys!"

Starman forms a ball of energy in his hands and fires it at Gateman's gate. "Or perhaps if we damage the gate enough!"

Zeno: <Are we allowed to play in the hangar?>

*CrashMan responds by ramming his spinning drill fist towards the incoming fist*

*Spider throws a few more cards at GateMan, aiming for the head.*

IceMan: <..I-It's no use guys, the gate will just keep--what?!>

*GateMan groans and then notices the incoming attacks, leaping high up to dodge them. The hand retreats into the portal.*

ShadowMan: <The portal doesn't absorb attacks while that hand thing is out?>

*StarMan's attack cracks the gate's frame up a little. GateMan fires blasts across the entire group with his cannon.*

=====

Ella: <It's a pretty boring place. There's only that one jet they brought you in there and we can't fly it anyway.>

*Spider rolls out of the way of the blasts and counters by throwing 2 cards at GateMan.*

OOC: All of you should have Be Somewhere by Buzy playing right now.

"Crash man hit the gate with a breaking attack! Alto its time we use it."

<"Roger that Axl I hope you know this means one less chip for you to use">

"Go for it. I've been waiting to show this off for awhile!"

---

"Alright then lets go, All Use engage!"

---

Axl's body glows with circuitry running into his emblem.

---

"All use sequence initiated slotting in navi chip!" Alto slots in Iceman's chip.

---

Axl's emblem glows and the circuitry changes to Iceman's colors.

"Navi chip read, standing by."

---

"Slotting in Shotgun chip. Begin fusion sequence!" Alto slots in the shotgun chip.

---

Axl's guns change into a shotgun and the circuitry flashes as they seemingly peel off his body and fuse into the gun.

"Fusion process engaged, noise minimal, estimated at 0.3% noise... 0.2% noise... 0.1%... chip fusion synchronized. Axl SnowShotgun!" Axl waits for an opening and fires. The shotgun belts out a huge frozen wreckingballl covered in jagged ice crystals. When it hits it will shatter into shrapnel damaging everything within a 2 foot radius of the shot.

Starman keeps Gateman focused on him and the group allowing Axl to take the shot.

---

After the attack ceases a blackened smoking chip is ejected from the PET. It was once a shotgun chip but is now destroyed.

Zeno: <Well, I think I can fly it. It'd be fun, huh?>

CrashMan: <I don't take orders from you, jackass!>

Jack: <Just do it already!>

CrashMan: <Fine!...But only if I can use that!>

Jack: <Whatever! Just go!>

CrashMan: <Stand back, kiddies, things are gonna get messy!>

*CrashMan combines both his Crash Bombers, turning himself into one giant rocket, launching himself towards the gate*

*The gate intercepts CrashMan, the IceShotgun shot, and the cards. The combined attacks utterly obliterate it and it shatters, GateMan widening his eyes in horror. He then proceeds to shoot across every NetNavi.*

=====

Ella: <Wow, you have the keys?!>

In the ensuring blast a large amount of smoke and mist was created providing the perfect cover for Axl to slip behind gateman.

Alto had slotted in a sword chip immediately after the attack and now Axl was behind Gateman hidden by the smoke and debris. He struck from behind aiming to impale Gateman with the blade whilst his vision was obscured.

Starman takes the shot in the arm and some data flies off indicating damage.
