(Most NPCs were played by Milo. A few lines towards the last bit were taken
over by Atolla.)
It was a calm night, even pleasant to most. Nice and warm with a gentle breeze.
And Atolla was doing his own version of the rounds, making sure that everyone
was keeping awake. And trying to get them used to the idea of being commanded
by a lion.
Atolla arrived at the Rabite Forest gate with a smile, nodding to the two
guardsmen. "Keeping sharp, lads?"
Considering the soldiers whirled around with a start after the cat snuck up on
them all... well, cat-like, the answer was probably no. They insisted on a
different opinion in their spoken response, however.
Off in the distance, there appears to be 6 tiny bobbing red lights, coming out
of the forest and onto the road. Moving very quickly towards the gate at that
too.
Atolla shook his head, about to give them a sharp reprimand... and then thinking
better of it for some reason. "Don't let it happen again. What are your names,
hm? I don't think I saw you two when I was introduced." Unfortunately, with
the gate closed, Atolla wouldn't be able to see the specks in the distance.
Sunflash is laying ontop of a random rooftop, probably close to the middle of
town. He wasn't exactly sleeping, more catnapping, watching the sky between
naps.
"Well, we were watching the gate, not the city!" They tell Atolla their names.
The thudding sounds get louder as -something- appears to be coming quickly to
the doors. Any gaurds able to see out would see a fast moving silhouette and 6
red specks of light coming towards the door.
Right now, though, the guards had their back to the gate making excuses to their
Captain. They did, however, notice the sounds and turn to look.
Atolla makes a face as if to reprimand them for insubordination... and then he
hears that thud. And another. Blessed feline senses. "Arc, you can handle a
bow, yes? Man that slit on the left. Jay, be prepared. Treat everything as
though it were a threat." Raising his voice, Atolla asked, "Who goes there?"
There were two more thuds then silence... Until there was a loud FWUMP then a
CRASH as something -heavy- slammed into the gates. Suddenly there was loud
scratching noises that appeared to be going -up- the gate.
Atolla doesn't hesitate, he simply orders. "Arc, aim up. Jay, do the same.
Cover for Arc." And with that... well, he roared. A good way to let people
know they were in danger, even if it -was- the misleading sort of danger. And
he tensed, ready for a fight.
Arc says 'Hey, isn't that the wanted reploid?' They do as ordered.
Nocturne emits a crackling noise as it pulls itself over the top of the wall and
quickly scans the ground below.
Arc yells "HALT!" as soon as Nocturne becomes visible over the gate, and if not
obeyed, will fire with extreme prejudice.
Atolla roars again, ready to leap the moment it comes down, unafraid of the
metal. Just a little harder to chew than bone, after all.
Sunflash starts, scrambling to his feet to look towards where the roar had came
from... "What the hells." He hops down to the street, beginning a rush through
the slowly forming crowd.
Nocturne looks down at those below silently with dimly glowing red eyes.
Crouching quickly, it pounces forward towards the coming crowd with a crackling
noise.
Atolla waits for Arc to shoot that first arrow before -lunging- at the bot,
hoping to slow it down before it reached anything vital. Like citizens.
Sunflash is still making his way towards the gate, rapier drawn.
Arc lets loose and immediately nocks another arrow, hit or miss. Jay prepared
to protect Arc or Atolla as the bot jumped but was taken aback when it aimed at
the crowd instead. The civilians quickly scattered, some screaming.
The arrow nicked off the leaping Reploid's shoulder with a few sparks, but it
didn't seem to affect Nocturne that much. It landed with a loud FWUMP near the
front of the crowd and crackled loudly as it looked like it was about to charge
forward into truce.
Atolla works very, very quickly to distract attention from that crowd, teeth
going for its throat while claws went for its shoulders... it might not do any
more damage than a quarter-ton of lion lunging at you would do, but it would get
attention from the bot. And Atolla'd be off as quickly as he attacked, hoping
for Jay to take the unsaid command to flank.
Jay yells "Stupid civilians, stay AWAY from the fight so I can take aim!", but
puts his crossbow away and draws a sword, charging in.
Nocturne quickly focuses its eyes on Atolla as the lion lunged onto it.
Emitting a loud screechy hiss, it moved forward into Atolla's lunge with hands
twitching violently towards him.
Jay maneuvers behind Nocturne and attempts to swing his sword at the bot's back.
Jay's sword leaves a light gash as it strikes Nocturne's back. It doesn't seem
to register the hit as it continues screeching and hissing as it engages Atolla
with its clawed hands and feet.
Atolla shifts his weight slightly so that he's aiming for the bot's arms
instead... he'd still slam into it, but at least he wouldn't end up kitty-kabob
this way. If he could get his jaws around just one arm, that'd give Jay a good
shot at the thing...
Jay simply continues to push his sword into the existing gash, hoping to
penetrate deeper while the bot's main attention is on Atolla.
Arc, meanwhile, takes out a sturdy shield and mace, good at piercing armor, and
closes in a well.
Nocturne starts moving sideways now, as Jay pushes his sword into it. Hissing
like a hot iron in water, it starts clawing its fingers towards Atolla's face.
Atolla closes his jaws over the wrist, twisting it in such a way that even a
koopa's hand would be broken, and then letting go and jumping back. Close
combat, obviously, was a bad idea, as shown by his bleeding face. "Keep out of
its reach!"
Jay doesn't need to be told twice and backs off. "So, back to shooting? Most
civilians seem to be gone now." He shoos a straggler away.
Nocturne grabs at Atolla as he jumps back but seems to change its mind as it
notices its wrist that is crackling with sparks and electricity. Instead it
starts to run towards the crowd behind Atolla.
And Nocturne does indeed run into a crowd... of soldiers that were running in at
the sound of the roars. On his approach, they organize into two ranks.
Atolla lunges at it again, swearing under his breath as he aims for the -other-
arm. Quite a bit of cat being hurled at it, with intent to break its arm -off-
would ensure it couldn't do as much harm.
Sunflash, after taking entirely too long to arrive, does so! He screeches to a
halt behind the soldiers' ranks with an oath. "What the hell is going on out
here?" Rapier is drawn and Detect Invis is in effect.
Nocturne turns as it runs, bringing its damaged sparking arm in an attempt to
slap the lunging Atolla. Meanwhile, it continues on its way towards the crowd.
Atolla would clamp his teeth -down- on that arm, managing... interesting
acrobatics in mid-air. Of course, with the arm sparking, Atolla would NOT be
holding that arm any longer than he had to... singed his tongue enough with a
second.
The soldiers poke Nocturne with a variety of pointy, heavy, or pointy AND heavy
weapons. Most just use swords, though.
Sunflash gets tired of trying to force his way around or through the ranks of
soldiers, and therefore boosts himself -above- them with a well controled Air
Blast towards his feet.
Nocturne uses it's other arm to grab onto Atolla's head and begins the process
of twirling about with Atolla on arm and heads into the soldiers in a twirling
manner.
Arc and Jay flanked from the other side, or the same side as Atolla. Arc
attempted to protect himself from claws with the shield and landed the mace on
Nocturne's head. The lines are too dense to get past without forcefully pushing
some soldiers aside.
Atolla tries to get -out- of the headlock, growling loudly as he claws and rips
at the bot... he wasn't in any sort of position that he could like, and wanted
-out- of it.
Sunflash lands with a thud behind the action, what with Noc and Atolla heading
towards the shoulders. But a rear attack was always nice. He scrambles up from
his 'kneeled' landing and whirled about, hand already glowing.
Jay approaches Nocturne from the side of the arm holding Atolla, and attacks it
with his sword. (Milo)
Nocturne tightens its grip on Atolla's head, its claws digging into the lion.
"CAUTION: UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO ACCESS INTERNALS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK" It screeches out loud, swinging Atolla into Jay. To Atolla,
the sounds of crackling in the arms and the funky sensation of electricity is
starting to intensify.
Arc continues bashing Nocturne's head. His shield and the handle of his mace
are wooden, so he's not too scared of the electricity.
Atolla wants to swear so badly, but he can't... so he pulls a rather last-ditch
move. He tries to twist the robot's arm again, knowing that he's opened the
thing... maybe he can rip the arm clean off, and get out of the embarassing
predicament. Or he could end up electrocuted, one of the two.
Sunflash merely curses, cutting his spell off. Can't get a clean shot. So he
waits between the fight and the gate.
Nocturne shudders a bit as it's armor gets dented and slashed up by the militia,
and some sparks do spray out of some of the wounds.
Atolla continues to twist, hoping for your freaking arm to go limp... or at
least give him enough leverage to escape the claws in his head, back off, and
let the mob do their thing.
The files of soldiers on either side of the direct attack begin to advance, with
intent of surrounding the bot from more sides.
Nocturne makes a loud buzz noise as the powering up sound increases. "HALT YOUR
PETTY OFFENSIVE OR THE LION SHALL BECOME CONSUMEABLE" It screeches out as many
sparks come flying out of its arm that Atolla is chomping on. TO the lion, it
was starting to get very painfully shocking as snapping electricty coursed in
it's mouth.
Sunflash grunts, and decides to take the risk. He mutters a few very choice
words, raises his hand, and then points very speficly at Noc's upper left
shoulder. Half-a-second later, a Lucent Beam blasts out. If his aim was true,
Noc would be hit in back, and upper left area, hopefully missing Atolla.
Nocturne is hit with Sunflash's lucent beam. The beam knocks it around
violently, and also sends streams of electricity coursing along its body and
into Atolla too. It stumbles around with a deathgrip on Atolla.
Atolla goes limp for a moment there. You would too, if you'd just been hit with
a taser... and as he does, he drags the arm down with him, giving him -just-
enough leverage to slip off the claws. And with super-feline effort, the arm as
well.
And on a completely unrelated note, Atolla now looks like he's been through the
dryer and smells of burnt hair
The ranks of soldiers had hesitated at their attacks due to the threat, but with
this opportunity, the one with aforementioned pointy AND heavy weapon (an axe,
in other words) takes a swing at the arm.
Sunflash gives off a rather rancid oath. That could've gone better. Oh well.
He attempts to cast a Tractor Beam, aimed to grab Atolla and move him out of
Noc's reach, however undignifed it looked.
Nocturne lets go of Atolla with its good arm and attempts to backslap the axe
away while preparing for a kick at the soldier.
Atolla twitches a bit as he's hauled away...and shakes himself off, issuing
orders again. "Polearms to the front! Stay out of reach of the claws! Those
of you with metal grips, switch to a ranged weapon!"
His attack succesfully diverted, the axeman is knocked back and groans a little,
then shuffles to the back in response to the new orders.
Nocturne scrambles up quickly with a hiss and charges for the retreating axeman
as electricty starts zapping out of it.
Nocturne will be driven off the axeman by a spear poking at him.
The soldiers have formed walls around Nocturne on three sides and are working an
the fourth. A glaive swings from the west side.
Sunflash gives a nod, backing up towards the gate. He wasn't stupid enough to
go charging into a fray against a reploid.
Arc alone disobeys and continues bashing. Overconfident, apparantly.
Atolla isn't going into close combat himself, though he is wincing. "Surround
it! Don't let it escape! Arc, get back and let the sharpshooters do their
work!"
Nocturne charges Arc, ignoring the glaive as it scratches its shoulder. It
attempts to grab Arc in a bearhug with outstretched sparking arms.
Arc blocks one arm with his shield, and slams the other with his mace, aiming
right for the claws and hoping to break them off.
The glaive wielder readies his weapon for a second swing, aiming for the legs in
a trip attempt. Various other polearms poke randomly.
Atolla watches the soldiers' actions, making a note to have far more strict
training regiments for a while. "Sharpshooters! As soon as Arc is out of the
way, open fire! Don't let it back up against a wall, either!"
Sunflash gets a sudden idea. He turns around and cast a quick tractor beam,
aimed for the top of the wall. He wasn't trying to pull it down, but pull
himself UP. He grasps the ledge, and scrambles on top. "Anything -else-
coming, I wonder..."
Soldiers are moving to block the last direction. There's still room to dash
past if Nocturne decides to do so now, especially since it takes a few moments
to ready a polearm for combat and they are clumsy to carry in ready position
while walking.
Nocturne retracts the claws that Arc is aiming for and attempts to grab Arc's
mace instead. It continues to charge Arc as the shield-blocked arm attempts to
slide over or under the shield and grab Arc.
Arc, by this point, wisens up enough to move back and avoid further clawing.
Atolla makes a mental note of what Sunflash is doing, and to give the man a
formal thanks. "Those of you with purely metal weapons, or short-range weapons
only, go to the western gate! Keep an eye out for other attackers! Shooters,
open fire!"
A hail of arrows and crossbow bolts ensues. There's still a glaive tripping
him.
Some soldiers (including Jay) detach and do as told. This does, Atolla may
note, thin out the army and leave many without backup.
Nocturne shrugs off the glaive with a powerful kick and charges off with a hiss
towards the nearest, thinnest section of soldiers for an escape attempt.
Nocturne brings up his arms to block the upper four eyes as several bolts/arrows
stick into it. Some sparks fly out from the arrowwounds but it charges anyways.
Atolla quickly yells, "Wall! Impale it on a spear!" He -hopes- this tactic has
been heard of here...
Even before Atolla's command, Nocturne would already find himself beset by a
variety of weapons with really complicated names for what is basically a pointy
stick.
The archers, meanwhile, prepare for another barrage. The arbalesters will take
a while longer to reload.
Sunflash looks about, gives another look to make sure, then turns his attention
towards the fight below. Crap for crap, can't let it get away... He raised his
hand and made a quick jerking motion: Gem Missle! A whole lot of pepples and
dirt etc. fly up and towards Noc.
Nocturne attempts to slap or grab some of the -pointy weapons- and pull the
soldiers holding them towards it. "...I Surrender..." it calmly says as
Sunflash's attack happens.
Atolla is held with a sudden dilemma... and changes his orders. "Immobilize it!
Chop off its arms and legs if you can, if it continues to fight back, put the
point through its head!"
Those with slashing polearms attempt to do as told. Unfortunately, from one end
of a long stick, it's hard to put enough force on the other end to sunder metal.
Sunflash grunts. Gutsy call, that. Most wouldn't have done it. He approved,
however. He lowers himself down, tractorbeam being used to help cushion his
landing. He heads towards Atolla at a walk, watching Noc more than Atolla of
course.
Nocturne attempts to slap the polearms away but does not make any threatening
charges to the soldiers. "I demand I be treated fairly. Your actions will be
considered atrocities."
Atolla snorts as he gives a faint nod to Sunflash, replying, "You attack the
city gate, electrocute me, nearly puncture a hole in my brain and almost kill
me, charged civilians and soldiers alike, and you're saying that you demand to
be treated fairly? Where I come from, you'd be dead already. Soldiers, stand
down! But don't even -think- of putting your weapons away... just in case."
Sunflash moves to stand roughly a few feet beside Atolla, muttering briefly.
"Watch yourself. That matches a description Milo got yesterday about a
rampaging reploid."
The soldiers back off a little, and work on reinforcing the barrier. No escape
here.
Nocturne says 'I did not attack the city gate. I merely bypassed it. You all
were the ones who threatened me first, aiming your bows at me and charging me.
I made no threats first.'
Atolla says 'You did not answer my call to give your name or reason for being
out. You climbed -over- the gate, rather than wait for us to open. That can
very easily be seen as an attack, to soldiers on edge and commanders who have
been told to be paranoid.'
Sunflash says '...Not to mention, I'm pretty sure you're the same reploid that
was supposed to be on a rampage to begin with. So we already have a reason to
bring you in.'
Sunflash says 'Just so ya know.'
Atolla says 'Oh? That's another strike, then.'
Sunflash nods.
Arc chimes in. "And you completely disregarded when I explicitly ordered you to
halt. ...And I ALREADY TOLD YOU about the charges." (Milo.)
Atolla snorts a bit, adding, "You also didn't surrender or make -any- peaceful
action until you were ruthlessly outnumbered."
Nocturne says 'Hah. I was just coming down to talk but that lion charged me. I
must assume you are all hostile and will attack me. And I never went on a
rampage earlier here.'
Atolla says 'I attacked because, as I said, you never responded. And I've no
real reason to believe you did or didn't go on a rampage here.'
Nocturne says 'How can I respond when you charge when I landed? In addition, I
am only escaping from a rampaging female that was shooting at me.'
Arc is quite plain in his response. "I heard no shots and I saw no-one else."
Atolla nods.
Nocturne says 'This was in a city with a rocket.'
Atolla says 'You could've responded -before- you climbed the gate.'
Atolla says 'As it is, we have reason to have you locked up and questioned.
There is some doubt to your previous criminal record, apparently.'
Sunflash says 'Right. That doesn't hold any water at all, since there's noone
else out there. Let me put it like this: You're outnumbered and annoying. I
suggest that you shut down and let us take you into custody, before I see to
that you are turned into -scrap-.'
Nocturne says 'I saw no-one at the gates. Hence, I assummed it was un-manned.'
Sunflash says 'Ever heard of -knocking-, nitwit?'
Nocturne says 'There is no knocking. That is not a door.'
Sunflash says 'But the point is moot. Shut up and shut down. Now.'
Atolla nods.
Atolla says 'I'm inclined to agree with the Mage here.'
Nocturne says 'I will not shutdown. I contain information that cannot be
possibly tampered with.'
Sunflash says 'How about this then: You let me put some sort of restraint on
you.'
Nocturne says 'Are you in a commanding position? If not, please restrain
yourself and bring me a person in command.'
Sunflash grins evilly.
Atolla says 'I'm the one in command of this garrison, golem.'
Atolla says 'And as far as I'm concerned, this man saved my life. He has equal
say in what happens to you.'
Nocturne says 'I am not a golem. Present your credentials so i may verify that
fact and acertain that you are -indeed- a commanding person in this... army.'
Arc says 'How about that EVERY ONE OF US were here when the General introduced
him as our new Captain?'
Sunflash shows his approval by clapping his hands together.
Nocturne makes a beeping noise suddenly. "I cannot assume the word of those
assembled without proper visual and official identification. As such, I will
assume that my data is compromised and will self destruct with maximium
efficiency."
Atolla blinks in utter disbelief.
Sunflash says '...Two'll get you fifty. EVERYONE DOWN.'
Atolla says 'Oh, frig. Mage? Don't suppose you can levitate him quite a bit
higher?'
Atolla says 'Or better yet, short-circuit him?'
By now, all ranged-weapon-users have reloaded and fire another barrage.
Sunflash gives a rancid oath, hand starting to glow a rather bright orange.
"You have any particlar idea in mind, Captain?" Charges his spell.
Atolla says '...How about that tower to the west? It'll certainly knock the
wind out of him, and last I checked, we never claimed to be allies with
Booster.'
Nocturne dashes towards the ocean side of Truce aggressively as the archers
fire. Some arrows pierce it and get stuck while others glance off it. Smoke
and very big sparks are being emitted from it as is very loud beeping and
powering up noises. The glow in its eyes is getting very bright as is the
streams of electricty seen from the wounds.
Atolla says '...If you're going to do it, do it now. And make sure it hurts,
will you?'
Sunflash says "Booster might hate our guts. I dunno if he wanted a window on
that 32nd story or not..." He grins evily, giving it just a second longer in
hope of reaching that story before letting the spell go, grabbing, twisting, and
hurling the thing towards the tower in the not-so-distant horizon.
Nocturne feels itself suddenly being flung towards the tower. To the nearby
soldiers, they could swear it was giggling. To Nocturne, it twirled in midair,
eyes flicking about attempting to find the landing spot.
As it began the long drop down to earth, Nocturne made some quick calculations.
Giggling loudly, it waited until it nearly hit the ground when it suddenly
self-destructed the lower waist and legs as it ejected the upper torso away
towards the forest.
Atolla nods a bit...and as he takes a step, he kind of trips over his own paws.
"Urg.. um, any of you know good trackers? That can see in the dark, perhaps?
We're not letting that thing go."
A few moogles bounce up next to Atolla. "We kupan see heat!" A few
pumpkinheads walk up too, more silent. Members of other races trail behind,
unable to see well in the dark but willing to offer combat backup if needed once
the thing is tracked.
Atolla nods a bit. "Good then... I want you two moogles and you two pumpkins to
lead... two other pikemen into the forest, find that thing, and make sure it's
deactivated. Any wounded?"
There were a few wounded, but nothing life-threatening. There were just too
many soldiers covering each other against a single attacker.
Sunflash gives Atolla a look-over. "Well, we have at least one. We need to get
you to a priest, bub."
Atolla nods a bit. "I'd...appreciate it. I'm feeling woozy now that the
adrenaline's gone... urgh." And with that, the big lion fell down on his side,
moaning lightly. "Yeah...medic?"
Sunflash says 'Moogles and pumpkinhead, move out after that... thing. I need
someone that knows a few patching tricks over here. Everyone else, back to your
posts. Debrief in morning or afternoon.'
Finally, one of the little matangos steps out and takes a look at the lion.
"This is bad... help me get him back to the infirmary? He might have some
permanent brain damage." He motions to a few humans, the lot of which take him
out.
Sunflash would pass through the ranks, making sure everyone was still accounted
for, requesting a change of guard for the rest of the night, making sure the
gate was still working, etc.
Meanwhile, the two pumpkinheads lead the way for the rest, their darkvision
being a bit better than the infrared for this part of the trip. As an
afterthought, all of them are armed with either polearms or crossbows.
Sunflash has no official command position, but his orders were reasonable enough
and with no proper commander around, they do as asked.
Atolla was taken to Selan's, where she did confirm that he had minor brain
damage. Enough to cause him a lingering headache for several days and make him
generally grumpy. Poor western garrison.
Sunflash decides that everything was as good as they could get after such an
occurance, and debates going to find Milo. Instead, he decides to head towards
the infirmary, check up on the honorable kitty-kitty first.
Nocturne flicks its eyes about as its upper torso starts coming back down again
into the forest. It did not feel fear at the loss of its legs. Rather, it
started processing the next directives. <...Order from...
Jango...data...complete...Require new directives...> *crackle* It scans the
approaching grounds as it comes up quickly. "Jango... Orders... required..."
Atolla will -not- be in the best of moods, and will probably just growl at
Sunflash that he'll thank him for saving his life later. For now, he just wants
that sweet, sweet, healing.
The trackers will alternate, first the moogles in the lead, and then the
pumpkinheads, sometimes one of each. They'd eventually find the parts left
behind by the legs, burning wreckage showing up brightly to the moogles'
infravision.
And then they'd debate a bit on whether they should keep searching. They DID
find remnants of an explosion, after all. After some debate, one of the moogles
takes the largest intact piece to show to Atolla.
Jango acts all spooky and says "Nocturne... you acted against orders..."
Sunflash didn't really stay around to talk to Atolla, simply checking with the
doctors if he was going to be okay or not. That done, he decides to head to the
fountain, informing the doctors that should someone bring information that
needed acting on, and Atolla was incable of doing so, to look for him.
Sunflash didn't really expect them to do so, but it was worth a try.
The one moogle leaves the metal with a message, while the rest of them go to
their assorted posts. And after some talk with the doctors, he'd also pass on
the message to Sunflash that all they found was debris of an explosion.
Nocturne can hear the voice of Jango speaking to it after landing. Its eyes
scan about for this -voice- as it props itself up with its arms. "Orders...
were complete. I have made myself out of notice now. They shall ass*crackle*me
I have been *hiss* destroyed. Hence, they think no more of me than just a mere
factory assembly unit. All is well...."
The darkness gathers around the fallen reploid, blotting out the night sky, the
stars, and the very trees around it.
Jango acts all spooky and says "I see."
Sunflash absorbs the information, dimissing the moogle with a thank you. He
leans back in his bench, the one cloest to Milo's recruiting booth. "...So. A
golemish reploid makes an assault against the gate, and by all accounts ends up
destroyed." He shakes his head. "Something's not right..." He sighs, and
decides to wait till morning. He laid out on his bench, closing his eyes, and
attempts to sleep.
Jango acts all spooky and says "You are a clever one, Nocturne."
Jango acts all spooky and says "Come, we shall set about forging you legs anew."
The moogle, henceforth called Kumo, simply shrugs. "We only found some kupo
shards of shrapnel... and there -was- an explosion, likupo the reploid said."
Nocturne hears this -voice- yet again. "...Clever I am no*hiss*t. I only do
what is required..."
Jango acts all spooky and says "I shall send you to my lair, Nocturne."
Jango acts all spooky and says "I will not be long. I must see about gathering
the parts to replace your legs."
Nocturne says '*hissss* Jango....*cackle* BEEP.... I am... humbled...'
Sunflash simply does his best to sleep, awaiting the dawn to speak with Milo.
Jango acts all spooky and says "I take care of those loyal to me. It is as
simple as that."
Kumo shrugs and heads home, figuring his duty for the day is done. So he plays
a little hooky. (Atolla disapproves of this Moogle. >: )
Nocturne looks around as it holds itself up with its arms. "*crackle*...
Proceeding into stealth *crackle* modes..." It simply says as its eyes stop
glowing. It stays still in the current position.
The darkness surrounds the remains of Nocturne, pressing in closer until there
is nothing but the shadow.
The darkness breaks up, leaving nothing behind but the forest and the dug up
ground where the reploid had landed.
As Nocturne is being -teleported- away, it slowly repowers up its eyes and other
shut down systems, trying to figure out what is happening.
