It hit! Nice, the thing seemed to be moving though. Ah well. Oh yeah, why was everyone trying to hit the thing head on?
"Great, leave us here, thanks a lot guys!" Aiolos yelled after them.
He let out a frustrated sigh and searched his cloak for something. If you can't beat them, join them.
Aiolos found the button in his cloak and pressed it, telescopic rods formed the fabric into a glider, he put the straps on his shoulders.
"Yeah, I improved on that theory a bit." He said to Zen, "Wanna come along?"
With that, the man ran straight to the robot, then he played his C flute and let a gust of wind catch the glider, Aiolos flew up into the air, and with a quick solo, leveled himself out and started to where everyone was going.

((Waiting on Zen, but...let's see.
Adam took a while leaping from roof to roof, so he would probably arrive on the dinosaur's back at about the same time James Black hauled himself up. Xallen and Hoozy can get there fairly easily, but they're going to have the dinosaur's head to contend with.
Since if Xallen is going directly for the panel, he would have to be near enough to the front of the creature that its head could reach him.
If Zen's dropped offline, now would be a good time to tell me.))

Zen ran towards brontosaurus, not close enought to get trampled, but just close enough to hopefully grab it's attention, if not he planned to force it's attention. Zen aimed his palm at the dinosaurs neck and released a blade made of blood at the it's neck, maybe he'd be able to sever it's head, but he highly doubted it with the strength he shot behind it, it should be enough to scratch it's surface ad make an opening for a stronger attack to rip through if need be.

((alright, I have to run to the store. should be back shortly. Seeing as how it usually takes about 20 minutes to get through a round anyways, I should be back in time for my turn. If not, just say I'm struggling to keep on the creature and move on))

The hook hit, embedding itself into one of the cracks between the metal plating covering the dinosaur. And the brontosaurus roared.
It whipped its head around, its long neck allowing it to reach the cord of Jacknife's grappling hook, biting down on it hard. Then it jerked its neck, yanking on the string in such a way as to send Jacknife sailing towards Xallen.
It had too many people on its back already, even before James Black managed to haul himself up.
Speaking of James, he would find that the cracks between the plates of metal casing provided fair enough handholds for him, and with the leg barely moving, himself out of reach of both head and tail, his trip to the top would be undisturbed.
The panel was easily readable: just the words "What am I?", then the four buttoms, labeled with their colors. Orange, Indigo, Dark green, Nectarine.
When Adam pressed the Dark green button, it stayed depressed even after he took his finger off it, and the glow behind it faded. Nothing further happened.
Aiolos remained undisturbed; the dinosaur had too much to deal with already.
Finally, as the dino was twisting its neck to send Jacknife sailing into Xallen, Zen's blade would strike it, creating a nice gash in the metal, exposing some circuits within.

Flare Sithfallin Speaking of James, he would find that the cracks between the plates of metal casing provided fair enough handholds for him, and with the leg barely moving, himself out of reach of both head and tail, his trip to the top would be undisturbed. Hurray! Obviously, he'd do what he could to head towards the panel, as previously stated. Especially with how one of the people that had rushed for the back just got railed by a flying man on a spiderman wire. Dino The panel was easily readable: just the words "What am I?", then the four buttoms, labeled with their colors. Orange, Indigo, Dark green, Nectarine. Oh great, a riddle. "What am I" isn't much of a question, there were plenty of answers to that... It was a dinosaur, it was a lizard, cold blooded (if it had blood). Of course, it was also a robot. So what were the options? Four colors. Of course, it could also bee seen as two fruits, one flower, and a color. If anything he'd have picked the green just because it was out of place, making a hasty decision. But - Dino When Adam pressed the Dark green button, it stayed depressed even after he took his finger off it, and the glow behind it faded. Nothing further happened. James, probably not even noticed approaching behind Adam considering the chaos that was going on around them, held on tightly just behind the other person. "...hey, it did something!" It probably could have been compared to a 'boo' at this point. Adam might freak out when someone just shows up behind him, but James wasn't really the kind of guy who'd shout "ah'm comin' for ya" before he got there.

"Xallen, Boost me!" Jacknife shouted as he flew backwards towards his teammate. They were fairly close to the robot now. Only a few feet separated them, and the constant reeling in of the cord attatched to the hook was quickly slowing Jacknife's velocity. Jacknife was conviniently placed so that his feet were towards Xallen.
As he reached Xallen he planted his feet in his teammate's hands. "FIRE NOW!" He shouted as he pushed off of Xallen with a jump. With any luck Xallen would fire his rocket boosters and toss Jacknife with his hands, effectively allowing Jacknife to use him as a floating wall for all jumping purposes. Of course, this would probably send Xallen backwards, but he had a jetpack.
Jacknife asked himself why he had never considered adding a jetpack to his own arsenal.

((A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED.)) Tormenta sighed as he entered the city center once more, walking away from the Institute. This search was starting to become tedious. And then there was a sort of... roaring?
It took only a few seconds for the vampire to spot the metallic beast, and a few seconds more to realise that a whole myriad of people were attempting to scale it, while others were simply attacking it. And, as one of the creature's attackers put a gash in its metal flesh, a grin crept onto the priest's face.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and then a light storm suddenly covered the area. There was only rain in this storm, which would do no damage to humans and other similar creatures, but would definitely make something when the rain hit the open circuitry of the beast. ((Just to clarify, Tormenta has just entered the area, so I'm guessing he wouldn't be too close to the dino.))

Brennsa ((Just to clarify, Tormenta has just entered the area, so I'm guessing he wouldn't be too close to the dino.)) (( You're really close to it. Really. It attacked me on the first post entering from the Institute to this area. Same way you're coming. So obviously you'd be near it when you're coming in from the Institute. ))

It was pretty easy to tell what Alan wanted to do, coming feet-first and all. Xallen did exactly as his team-mate wished, catching and then pushing Jacknife toward the Dino. His shoulder thrusters activated at this time, also propelling him forward so that he would ideally land behind James and Jacknife. Furthermore, depending largely on Aiolos's position, if Aiolos was anywhere near Xallen's back, he might be burned by the flames of Xallen's thrusters. After all, he had approached from behind Xallen and from roughly the same angle.

While everyone, including the dinosaur that was making this mess was having problems, Aiolos glided smoothly through the chaos, avoiding the jetpack/grappling hook/Xallen tangle. His partner seemed to be pressing buttons, and there seemed to be a guy behind him as well.
Come on, can't there be at least one easy marble?
Aiolos didn't know what to do in the air, so he landed on a nearby rooftop, it's base close to the Brontosaur's tail, it was dangerous for sure, but he only needed one moment.
The man took out a throwing knife, and looked down at where Adam and the other man was. Damn, this was going to be hard. He hurled the knife down, to Adam's attacker. It seemed to drop, but Aiolos played stacatto with his conductor's whistle and it lifted, flowing with the air current he dropped the conductor's and grabbed the tin whistle, he continued the tune, moving the air around the knife getting the blade to curve towards James' right shoulder.
