Welp, that can't be the end. Nobody's died yet.

Erm, I want to be able to upgrade this ability into the one that the cakehat gave me.

Waiting on Tomaster.

Ah, sorry.
Sooo...is that game?
Walk with group. Avoid moving too fast.

Ragdoll has coerced me into rolling.

CrazyMLC [4]: You step back, surprised by how much the death of your target affected you. You give a moment of calm silence, then greedily jump forward again to loot the ♥♥♥♥ out of Goodpants' corpse. As you do, the robot shifts, and it's arm falls down in front of your hand, nearly crushing it.
"...Mmmaaaaaybe I should show just a leeeetle respect for fallen enemies... Who most certainly aren't ghosts that will haunt me for the rest of my life... Please... I'll be good..."
Eh, he probably didn't have anything good anyways. I mean, what would he be carrying with him inside his giant robot that would be of any value to you?

Tomaster [6]: "Sooo...is that game?"
"Game?"
"Is it over? Did we win?"
"Ah. Well, you still need to beat Goodpants, unless the others have already done so."
The group reaches a large metal door blocking the with the robots and the other 3 Rollers.
"Oh futs, I forgot about this damn thing. How the hell are we gonna open it?"
...
"Fail."

Ragdollmaster [6]: "So uh... we're kind of screwed, eh? There's no way of forcing back some of our powers- at least not in the time space we have available?"
"Well, given some time, there's a chance it wears off. A small chance, but still a chance. Don't get your hopes up though."
Dejectedly, you take Durendal and cut a hole in the wall as you pass. The cone of stone you sliced out falls to the floor with a thunk.

Game Events: "Ooookay then, Goodpants is dead. What now?"
MLC ponders the question while ignoring BioBen's cries of pain. Consulting Fiona about payment would be the wisest course, you think.
Wait, she's in the other room.
Alright, let's go to the other room.
♥♥♥♥, the door is sealed.
Then let's break it open!


On the outside of the large, shielded door, a large sharp sword stabs through the door, and carves a rough circle into it big enough for a person to climb through.
"Ah. Thank you. We were just wondering how to get in."
The rollers, elemental brothers, and the two ladies climb through the hole one at a time, and almost immediately see the broken robots littering the room.
"Umm..."
"Oh, by the way, Goodpants was in one of the robots. He's kinda dead now."
"...Ah."
"Aww! I wanted a crack at the smug bastard!"

We'll, now I can shoot my liver at people, and make them violently explode.

> Start defacing random objects by shooting them about as we exit the building, AVOID DAMAGING CRITICAL THINGS "So you really sure about that, I think he could of easily cloned himself, an evil mastermind is bound to have a closet full of himself, in some other predetermined location, or any '♥♥♥♥ THE WORLD' failsafe doomsday devices" |

Goodpants kinda tried to "End WORLD HUNGER", not "End WORLD HUNGER".

He is bound to have more wickedly evil plots in his closet at home.

"Sooo... What do we do now? Goodpants is dead, Blue isn't gonna destroy the world, all loose ends that I can think of are tied up... Did we win?"
"Well, I suppose you all should recieve your 'payment' now, and I guess I should get to reviving the dead Rollers..."
"Woah, woah, woah. Revive?"
Blue looks at Tomaster, surprised to see him objecting.
"Yes, revive. What, did you think I'd leave them dead? You should know that they're all still alive, more or less, I just need to bring them out of them Afterparty."


"Hell Yeah!"


"Anyways, I'm a bit too drained to do that right now, I've got just the barest dregs of energy left after beating you guys up so thoroughly. So I guess you guys can hang out around the Archipelago for the week or so it'll take me to regenerate my energy."
While everyone is talking and distracted, the black fluid from Goodpants' mech starts to bubble slightly on its own. Then, it rises up into the air in thin streamers, converging upon a single point above Goodpants' destroyed robot. It reaches about the size of a basketball when Foa finally notices it.
"Um. Blue? What is that?"
"What is what?"
"Thaaaaaat."
Foa points towards the blob, and the cheer drops out of the group as everyone notices it.
"What IS thaaat?"
"Oh ♥♥♥♥. Fiona, Plan B."

"MLC, get over here, now."
"Everyone, stay the ♥♥♥♥ away from that thing and the ♥♥♥♥ out of our ways! Toto, suppress it!"
The huge Cerberus barks happily, then begins breathing twin blasts of fire and ice at the orb, blocking it completely from view.
"Demon Dance Ritual, release."
Nothing seems to have happened from this, though Blue does take a deep breath after saying it, as if reinvigorated.
"Fiona, what do you need me for?"
"Help me kill that thing."
"Oh, okay."
Fiona reaches up the left sleeve of her blouse with her right hand, and retrieves the pistol she used earlier against the drones alongside the knife from her other shoulder.
"So, what's our plan fo-"
*BLAM*
*thud*
MLC's body hits the ground, blood leaking from the bullet hole in his forehead. The other Rollers stare in shock, too dumbstruck to even speak.
"Sometime today Fiona!"

"Holy ♥♥♥♥, Fiona just killed MLC!"
"What the ♥♥♥♥?!"
"Quick, see if he's here!"
JJ runs over to the entrance to the Afterparty, where everyone who dies appears.
"Yeap! He died alright."
"Whu...what?"
"Hey, MLC, buddy, looks like Fiona just shot you to death in the face. Welcome to the Afterparty I guess."
"JJ, Fiona just dropped through some kinda portal in the floor!"
"What?"
"Iunno, she waved her hand and a portal appeared on the ground, and she just kinda jumped in."
"Yeah, I don't have time to waste shooting myself. This was faster."
Fiona drops down from the portal on the ceiling, completely nonchalant. She walks over towards the console that Tomaster unlocked before being teleported back to the real world. She types a few things in, and a section of wall next to the console retracts, revealing dark wooden door. She then walks over to MLC, and crouches down next to him.
"You and I need to have a little chat, right now. Into the room, damnit."


Toto continues to blast the orb with it's side heads' attacks, until without warning they both stop their attacks and begin coughing as if something flew down their throats. A haze remains over the orb from the ice and fire forming steam, but it's easy to see that the orb is still there, floating in place.
"Umm, Blue? What the ♥♥♥♥ is going on?"
"I've absolutely no damn idea. But I know that that orb isn't friendly."
Almost as if in response, the orb pulses, releasing a wave of black energy across the air around it. Everyone takes a halting step back, uncertain as to the orb's intentions.
Then, it lunges.
