Spy was about to answer the fairy, but saw a robot that wasn't one of those Cop-Bots about to attack the new healer, and decided now was as good a time as any to use a Sapper. He judged how quickly it was moving, and lunged forward just when he would be able to hit its side... and slipped. The Electro-Sapper, thankfully, stuck to the machine and proceeded to do its job, but Frenchman had stumbled just slightly into the spinning claws' path, getting a decent-sized gash in his shoulder for his effort. "Merde!" he cursed, his knee catching his weight painfully so he wouldn't face-plant into the ground. What the hell was that? There didn't even look like anything around for him to slip on! Damn it, that was just plain embarrassing... At least Navi hadn't gotten hurt.
((Ignore Spy's response because it's now void and pointless. I just didn't want to delete it because I thought it was funny. Also now I don't know what to post for him.
And as a note, Spy, Navi, and Neru are nowhere near Medic and the others.))
The German cried out, stumbling forward. He managed to keep his balance after a couple of steps, and turned the healing gun back to Heavy, taking cover between the Russian and the wall they had been hiding behind. It was painful, yes, to the point where he couldn't hope to surpress a grimmice, but he would just have to suck it up until the excess vapor from the Medigun took care of it. "S-Scheiße..." he muttered. Ironic... This was exactly the situation he was trying to avoid.
"Can do! That's right nearby where the others are being kept, so Kikyo, you won't have to far to go. Wish I could call up a bot to help you, though..." Jack replied, almost sighing. It always sucked, having to go against his own creations. It was practically like fighting against one's own children, or at least it seemed that way to him. He landed, a little closer to the safe area than the resupply, and said, "Last stop!" Without thinking twice, he opened the hatch, jumped out, and sprinted deeper into the building. There was an entrance that shouldn't have been much further, he would just have to open it up and its location would be obvious.

((REposted for you Ruki! ^^
And see, this is exactly why we should have a map or something! Cause people get confused (like me) so often lol))
"I don't know what we'll do. I guess we'll just have to tough it out until things get better!" Yuzuki called out to him as she stood up quickly, firing her rocket launcher into the gathering of robots, blowing them away in a large hole. But that void was quickly filled with their replacements. "If things ever do..."
"Alright, alright! Now this is what I'm talkin' about!" Collette exclaimed as she ran over to him and hopped into the tank. There was so many buttons and lights inside of it, many being very familiar to the young psychic. She immediately began to routinely press all sorts of buttons while also flipping switches and pulling levers with expert technique. "So I'm getting a massive read of people up North, so we'll go that way." She told him before she set the tank in motion, wanting to get to those people quickly before the bots did.
Toph sighed to herself, wondering what else she could do but just listen to Luki try his best to make her feel better. As she looked up at him and instead of down on the ground, and listened. What he had to say really made her feel better, like she actually meant something to the world. Man, how messed up was this place making her? Like, if he were back home... Oh my god, that was it. Back home she was one of the most powerful, most feared earthbender in the land. She could have chosen any guy she wanted, but she wanted to be independent, to be free to be her own woman. That's why she came to Quasar in the first place, because she needed a challenge. And this one guy had to flip her world upside down to the point of no return. She didn't deserve this crap. But well, she was pregnant now. And there was nothing that she could really do about it. Reaching forward, she climbed onto Luki's back and sighed, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Thank you Luki, for everything. I had forgotten who I was and you reminded me." She said as she kissed his cheek with a smile as a friend of course.
Azmaria had taken down a few more robots by the time that their group was surrounded. It was then she heard the whirring of blades, coming straight towards her. She yelped quickly as she spun around, about to pull the trigger before she suddenly saw Spy take out the bot that was tying to attack her. "Spy!" She exclaimed as she then rushed over to his side. "O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee; be thou their arm every morning our salvation also in the time of trouble." She quoted from Isiah 33:2 as she pressed her hand to her chest, trying to calm down her quickly beating heart. She then knelt beside him, examining his wound. "You need to be healed quickly, oh why did you do that Spy?" She said with a look of sorrow, tears welling up in her eyes.
Tomoe continued to evacuate people out of the city for awhile longer, now on a hill, looking down on the city below her. She gasped as she witnessed a lot of the destruction that was all around her, her hands now covering her mouth as tears came to her eyes. She was so worried about everyone; worried about Alexander and all of her friends. But she had obligations to the citizens that were like her on this floating city and she just couldn't abandon her post. So she just said a quick prayer for everyone before she sighed to herself and continued her duties in the evacuation process.

((Aw, dragon, you're too sweet. You didn't have to do that.))
"I was not planning to slip an-!" Spy snapped, but stopped himself. Was she seriously going to cry over him getting a cut like that? Women could be so unpredictable, at times. "It is just a cut," he said, in a softer tone, trying to reassure her. Besides the obvious of keeping a healer calm in a hectic situation, it wasn't exactly a good idea to yell at one that was just worried about you. "Honestly, my knee 'urts more from the fall," he added, standing up. He wasn't even going to bother brushing his pants off; his whole suit was already ruined.

((Shucks, well, I didn't want something that funny to go to waste.))
Azmaria quickly pulled hersel together. She couldn't believe that an injury so minimal could almost bring her to tears. Hadn't she bulked up enough after Rosette and Chrono died? But she quickly shook it off and stood up as well, readjusting her headpiece some. "S-Sorry Spy, this whole environment... it's not healthy." She replied with a light sigh. She then placed her hands over him and sang an old hymn that she was taught as a child. Spy's wounds quickly healed and he was restored to his natural strength within seconds, which was time well spent since they were in the middle of a huge war.

((It was inspired by reading your character's profile. I saw she brings bad luck, and said to myself, "I need to exploit the s**t outta that."))
Spy let out a short, bitter laugh. Not a healthy environment? She didn't know the half of it. "There is no need to apologize. After all, it is not like it is your fault I fell, now, is it? Thank you for your assistance. If you'll excuse me, I am going to take the advice of my small friend, here, and I believe you are needed more up here than following after me. Remember to watch your back." He gave a short bow, mostly to see if he could at least make her chuckle, before he cloaked once again and turned towards the building. Jack had taken the head, he had seen that, and it was probably down in his lab. Too bad he wasn't sure where, precisely, that was. Under this building, yes, but an entrance? Time to go looking.

((Oh yes, but the thing is I don't know how much her bad luck will affect the group. Maybe I'll just do it one member at a time. xd lol))
"Y-Yes Spy, I shall see you soon. Hopefully before this is all over." Azmaria told him before she held her rifle in her hand once more. She wanted to run on ahead to where the rest of the group was. But instead she looked back at Neru, not wanting to leave the girl by herself. "Neru, we should go and join everyone else. They're coming at us too quickly." She told her as she took a few shots at the nearest bots before she looked back to the blond besides her.

Oomizu was silent. She was excited to finally get to face the Old One, but yet there was more dread deep down inside of her than the glorious feeling of knowing you're about to accomplish something great. The drop down the cavern was nothing to fear. She willingly went through with an experienced air about her. When they arrived at the beach, she saw the Old One. She lightly touched the breast of her armor before she looked to the party. "Everyone, I have an alchemy circle that can get rid of this thing once and for all, but I'm not sure what would happen if we tried it right away. I think we should try weakening it first.... But as soon as it's weakened, you need to find something to grab onto or you'll leave this world with the Old One."
Haku nodded and took her position at the gun. This wasn't the same as using her riffle. She preferred her riffle over the gun in the chopper, but Soap had said that this gun was more powerful. No need to complain about accuracy when there was a lot of power behind the gun. She took aim and began shooting down robots several at a time.
Meiko didn't get jealous in the least seeing Souji take Palito's hand. In fact, she looked to Palito and gave a warm smile to her as though she was welcoming her to the family or a club. She nodded to what Palito and Souji said and quickly ran, ready to have this over with.
Kikyo cuddled Link for the short moment they had before she kissed his cheek and smiled lightly to him. "I will be safe, and I will keep the people safe as best as I can. You boys look out for each other and keep one another safe." She leaned over to Jack and gave him a sisterly kiss to the cheek before they landed. She quickly hopped out and ran towards where the people were being kept safe, her soul collectors appearing from almost no where and following close behind.
Soldier was taken by surprise to find the enemy had snuck up on them while they were debating what to do. What's worse was they took a hit on Medic. Soldier turned and began shooting rockets into the group of robots, making sure not to aim too close to where they were for anything to come flying towards them to cause the BLU team any more harm.
Scout shouted in surprise at the sudden attack/ realization that they were no longer in a good position. "Aww geeze! We need ta find a way outta this place! Yo, Heavy, when ya up blasting these things, see iff ya can find a way to make a path fr us ta get some where safah!" Scout took out his bat and swung at any robots too close to them. The best he could do was at least try to keep the robots back from them for a little bit.
Hiruko stayed in the safety of the shelter of the injured and unable to battle members of the city. He couldn't do much in terms of fighting, so he made up for it by trying to keep everyone calm. What few people got too roudy for their and every one else's safety, he resorted to putting them into a calm sleep. Every one else, he simply did his best to answer their questions.
Neru was busy cursing and shooting robots on the other side that she missed seeing Spy get a claw to the shoulder. She turned around after hearing her name being called and looked at Spy questioningly. The look was a silent, "What the ******** happened to you?" She took aim and shot another robot before she nodded. "This spot is too troublesome any ways."
Luki blushed lightly in mild embarrassment at the fact that what he said had made as much of an impact as it did and lightly rubbed his cheek against Toph's with a playful smirk. "Of course. Just remember you have me here to back you up when you need it. Not like any one else could do as good of a job as me. Now hold on tight. I need both my hands to use my gun, so I can't support you to keep you from slipping." He stood and began running towards where he knew the others would most likely be. In the mean time, if he saw something in the sky or not on the ground he thought Toph should know about, he shouted out what he though Toph should crush when he wasn't busy shooting other things.

Raidou nodded as he began to shot at some of the oncoming robots, though his bullets weren't have much of any effect. He pulled out the tube that contained Raiho and summoned him. Raiho took Raidou's pistol and charged it with his ice element. Raidou then began firing again. The new bullets seemed to be working some limbs of the robots were freezing and shattering off while other machines just got frozen entirely. "It's about time I became useful." He muttered.

Joseph heard Oomizu's proposal, and was slighty tempted to just use it then and be done with it. But there was one thing that Oomizu didn't know. "As easy as it may sound, there is a catch. If the old one dissapears from this world, then so does the soul arts." He told her. Ostrava just turned and explained what that would mean. "Then that means that all spells and beings related to the soul arts would dissapear as well. Including Joseph." He mentioned. Selen just pouted and tried to think. " A man must choose between his life, or the life of thousands. Hard to choose in that situation, if you ask me." Joseph just continued through the beach and entered to where the old one's heart was reciding. That would be where he would talk to Allant, and eventually kill him.
The inside of the old one was covered in branches, while the floor was covered in what would appear to be water. Joseph and the rest of the party waded on through until an opening in the small tunnel appeared. King Allant stood waiting for thwm. "Ah, Joseph. Good to see you've considered my offer." He told him. Joseph only pointed Soulbrant directly at the king in response. "I'm here for you and you alone, Allant. You've allowed terrible things to happen, and i'm here to make sure you pay." Allant, however, just laughed. "Terrible? The old one is simply doing this out of mercy! Humanity has gotten sinful and rotten! God left the old one here in order to wipe the slate clean! I allowed all this to happen because I wanted Boletaria to be the first to experience a paradise free from sin. And as long as the fog continues to spread, so does humanity's hope for a secone chance!" Even though the words meant good of the world, Joseph wasn't buying any of it. "Pity you won't see this paradise!" He insulted, preparing to strike down Allant. Demonbrant was then raised in response against Joseph. "Then you are what I call hopelessly devoted to comfort. And if I can't help you by talking, I must remove you.."
((I'll add something for Soap later xp))

((sorry its taking me so long to reply im doing some pictures to help ppl know where everything is at. also im making 2 more video for the Shodan plot))
Maverick nodded "Ok. This baby should have enough cargo hold to hole about a hundred people. Still not alot but its better then just 5 at a time" he laughed lightly as the tank drove in the direction of the people. "Dont be afraid to run over any bots." he said as he took the turret and started aiming at some of the bots outside.
Heavy nodded as he spun his gun once again "No problem! Let Karen take care of it" he grinned as he started to provide cover fire.
Alexander rolled his eyes as he helped fight off the machines that were flanking them "Well Ill provide cover you guys can get out of here." he said as he put up a barrier.
Link grinned as he quickly went to the resupply area and picked up a few items and potions he would need, taking a much needed refreshment before going to where Jack was at. "Ok so what is the plan" he said after finally catching up.
Souji smiled. The building up ahead was getting closer. "Looks like we will finally make it without any more problems huh. I take it Shodan is going to fight us herself so we gotta protect Palito till she can reinstall herself again right?"
Palito nodded with a smile "Yes, It should not take long for me to access her cyber space once i get attatched" she told them

Medic stepped forward, to follow after Heavy, but couldn't keep his footing. Damn, he'd been getting too badly injured too frequently, it seemed; he had lost too much blood. Leaning against the large Russian for support, he said, "Keep pushing forward, Herr... Scout, Soldier, watch our backs, und stay close. I vill keep an eye an all of your health." How slow Heavy had to go seemed like a good thing, now. If he were using Sasha or Natasha, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep up.
Jack nearly tripped. When he got his balance back, he replied, "Plan? My plan was to charge in like an idiot and hope for the best, try to hold out until you brought backup. Since it looks like just you an' me, now... Let's just do everything I just said except the part about backup." He skidded to a halt next to what appeared to be simply a wall. Then, he smacked a hand against a few spots in a pattern that seemed to only make sense to him, and it opened up. "Ready?"
Spy crept inside the building, trying to make as little noise as possible. He didn't know if there were any robots inside, but he didn't want to take any chances. "Navi, cherie, do you know a way to Jack's lab?" he asked.

Oomizu felt her stomach tighten and looked to Joseph in silent disbelief. The expression was sheer betrayal. Why hadn't he told her? He made her go through all of this without once saying she was doing this to kill him. How many times had he listened to her excitedly say how she was here to save and help him and how great it would be to have him home? Hadn't he once thought she would need to know this sooner? At least if she had known sooner she would have had more time to let it settle and become a little more accepting of the idea...
Oomizu followed in absolute silence, her face frozen to a stunned and hurt expression. It was so obvious how hard she was fighting to keep from crying. Everything she did was almost automatic at this point. She didn't even once notice the surroundings once they had entered the Old One. When they had reached Allant, she was unaware of what they were talking about. Instead, she just stood in place and just thought over the enttire journey she and Joseph had shared since she had gotten here.
Scout switched back to his gun and began shooting at robots. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Medic stumble and have a hard time. Scout ran over to Medic and wrapped one arm around the older man so that he was supporting the front half of Medic as he walked backwards to literally cover their backs. "Soldier, I got Medic and anything close up. You take on the stuff farther from us to keep 'em from getting too close."
Soldier had seen Medic tumble and was about to assist when Scout jumped on it. He gave an approving nod to the directions and begn firing some shot before he ran a few steps to catch up, paused to take a few more shots, and then repeated catching up to them.
Kikyo arrived to the shelter and was immediately greeted warmly by all who knew her. She found Hiruko and quickly explained-- briefly so as not to worry others-- just how bad it was outside. Once she had done so, she began healing those who were simply too injured to fight, occassionally saying, "I was not fond of the machines that Doctor Cox and the hospital rely on to heal the injured and ill, any ways."
Hiruko had listened to Kikyo's report and then went to the work of figuring out who could actually be of help and who was just too sick to really be any good outside so that Kikyo wouldn't end up being overwhelmed with just how many people were coming and asking for her to use her purification powers to heal.
Meiko smiled and giggled excitedly. She was relieved that they were almost done with all of the trouble Shodan was putting them through. "So good to know both my world and the real world will be safe again with Shodan behaving herself thanks to you, Palito."

Palito smiled "I hope that after all this is done. Maybe i can finally make more friends. Maybe find a compatible partner like you two have. I would like to experiance all that for the first time ever" she said. The building was now infront of them "We are here" she said as she looked at them both. "We must find the drive inside of this main frame so i can install myself into Shodan once again"
Dr Cox who was also helping the wounded over heard Kikyo. "Hey! those machines were the best! plus i managed to save the life exchange machine since it doesnt have any CPU to take over. " he told her
Navi popped out and smiled "Head down the hall and push the little gray button and the door to his lab opens" she told him "but its dangerous no?"
Link sighed "Looks like we have no other choice. Ok well im in so what ever happens happens. Fighting along side eachother just like old times eh" he smirked
Alexander grinned as he set up his barrier and started calling attention to himself. "Come on you hunks of metal! come get me" he said as he kicked one of the machines.
Heavy continued to push. It seemed Alexander's distraction tactic was working "Doctor we almost in builiding. I need more ammo once we get in" he said

"Danke, Scout." Despite the fact he was still a little woozy, Medic couldn't help but grin to himself. Maybe it was something he said, or maybe the others just finally got their heads out of their asses, but they were finally working as a team, just like they used to. Still, he didn't know if that boy would be okay on his own. They would just have to hurry. "Okay, Heavy. Ve vill cover you vonce ve make it."
"Yes, it is," Spy replied, not in a position to sugarcoat things. "But, I see no one else heading this way. I have a feeling the attack waves will not stop so long as that head lives. So, someone has to save all our asses, might as well give it a shot." The RED paused a moment, listening for any movement up ahead. Hearing none, he added, "You do not have to follow me..."
"Almost," Jack replied, giving a forced grin. "Except this time I don't have any powers, and I haven't exactly been keeping up with my training... But, hey! That's better than how I first started out, right?" Stalling? Maybe. The idea of a suicide mission didn't exactly sit well, but he had to keep this city in the air.
