A second broadcast had gone out over the City, interrupting all the service yet again. This time it was a simple, short, message.
"To anyone out there who wishes to assist the cause, to interfere, or simply to watch, come and join us..."
Coordinates were given, directing everyone to the location of this showdown. It was an uninteresting building, located far away from the central Tower. Behind it ran a waterway. The other buildings in this area of the City were all but destroyed, leaving Flashover's coordinates as the only real building standing. Rubble was everywhere, providing plenty of cover...but also plenty of places for danger to lurk.
Flashover was nowhere to be seen. It was likely he was at the top of building with his captive Proto. His cohorts weren't in sight just yet either, but surely they were here somewhere.
One thing was for certain. Anyone wishing to get to Proto was going to have to traverse the street and get up that building first.
------------------------------------
If you have not signed up yet, you can still do so! Please fill out the form here before jumping in!
Those looking to rescue Proto: Good luck! Though the area seems quiet there is surely something lurking around. You will be quoted during the course of this to alert you to what pitfalls you have triggered.
Those looking to assist Flashover: You may say that you were approached by one of Flashover's followers to alert you to the plan. Currently you should be keeping everyone -out- of the building. At least until you are informed otherwise.
Any questions, feel free to ask me!

Bubble leapfrogs his way ever closer to the coordinates given, eyes flicking about to check everywhere he could. He probably would have had an easier time in the waterway, but who knows what Flashover put in there. He was so furious at that b*****d doing that to Proto that all anyone would hear from him if they were close enough would be.... almost a furious bubbling sound, like what happens when you leave a pot of water to boil on high for too long. First goal? Try to get into that damn building in one piece. Second goal? Blast every one of the bastards that had a hand in capturing and tormenting Proto, offlining the other bots, and generally causing trouble for Wily in general.

It might not be as glamorous or fun as firing rocket launchers or beating on bots, but Pierce had been given a mission in the battle after all. His hooded head ducked beneath the edge of what remained of a crumbling roof as Bubbleman came into view. Interesting. They'd thought he would use the waterway but here he was hopping down the street. No matter, this trap would have worked on any of the bots that came this way. The rebel waited a few moments for Bubble to get close enough before standing to his full height. He grabbed the large barrel standing next to him and with a small amount of straining, dumped it's contents to the street below. Huge quantities of liquid dish soap splattered to the street, coating it in a slick film. It was a cheap trap but Pierce hoped an effective one. Try jumping around in those flippers in THAT robo-doofus!

Bubble saw the liquid spread across the street too late to stop and as he landed, his hands and feet flipped out from under him and he face plants on the street with an audible 'Ooof!'. His mask made the noise sound as if he was muffled and that bubbling hiss started up again as he very slowly raises his head up and tries to look around. His mask had been knocked slightly askew, so he reaches up to fix that so that he didn't have part of the rim in his vision. He was not a happy bot, no sir. Grumbling, he very veeeeery slowly starts trying to push himself up to a sitting position and glares around, trying to find whoever had dumped it. Not seeing anyone immediately, he frowns behind his mask. With more slow and careful shifting, he tries to get his flippered feet under him, not trying to jump again, but sitting more in a low crouch, his tail helping to try to keep him balanced. Then with more mumbling and grumbling, Bubble glares up in the direction of the roof, aims with his arm gun, and attempts to shoot the figure standing up there with a barrage of bubbles. Hopefully he'd hit the person in the leg or something and make them join him down on the ground in this mess.
Bubbles?? REALLY? Pierce laughed. "Please! Is that all you got robo-?" He reached out to pop the bubble with a finger only to have it burst in his face with way more force than he'd expected. "UAA!" Off balance, the rebel tumbled backwards off the small section of roof he'd been standing on and fell inside the ruins of the old building. Pierce struggled to his feet, suddenly glad he'd chosen a one-story building to set his trap on. Nursing a bruised buttocks, he shot an angry glare through the glass-less window and scurried off in the opposite direction. Unarmed, he wouldn't be much of an opponent to the robot master. Besides, there was plenty more traps to come. He would fall soon enough.

Bubble gives an evil little smirk as the idiot pops one of the bubbles he'd shot at him. He watches with a bit of smug satisfaction as the other falls backwards, then frowns as the other ran off. Coward. Although now, that left Bubble to try to think of how he was going to get further down the street. He could always wait until the dish soap dried, but who knew what they were doing to Proto in the meantime or what else they were setting up? Using his hand and gun-arm, he slowly tries to scoot himself out of the dish soap area and further down the street.
Quick zipped around the parimater, the orange blur was scoping out the building to look for a way in. The male stopped at the top of a building overlooking a small area. His eyes scanning everything before he made to zip back...

Seven stepped on a half wall. He looked at the building and dived down to hide in a crack. He kept his breath and heart rate slow in case of any master's scan. The male leaned the back of his head against the stone behind him. Time to think...get inside and find Five.
Five was near Proto right now. That was two birds with one stone. Either knock out or get Five to run away. 'Just lost your temper.' He thought to himself, 'that'll scare him.' Seven let out a breath. 'After that see about getting Proto down if you can...if not get a Master's attention and run like hell.' he looked down to his arm. That was going to be his biggest issue. If that arm acted up he was done for.
The second General had told him to go on a head, so that's what Crash was doing. He went the same direction as Bubble unknowingly, running as fast as he could. He had to get to Proto. They take one of his fellow bots and think they're not going to pay for it? The very thought made Crash puff up and downright bristle.
Skidding to a stop, he saw Bubble stuck to the floor and then snorted. Seemed that whatever substance he was in was a sticky situation. Coming behind Bubble, Crash traded his drills for hands and grabbed the bot by the waist and pulled backwards. "I've got you!" Hopefully he could get the other unstuck before Pierce righted himself from whatever had happened before he got here.

Bubble's ears flick backwards as he hears someone running up behind him. Hearing Crash's voice, he turns his head quickly, starting to call out a warning. "Crash, don't! It's dish soa-" He cuts off as the other grabs him by the waist and pulls backwards. Honestly, he was surprised the other Master hadn't gone slipping or lost his footing before reaching him.
Having found no one at either Seven's or Doctor Light's house or at least no one that answered, Joe had decided to go to Proto's rescue on his own. He wouldn't have as much influence without their support but maybe he still had a chance to reason with Flashover himself. Parking his bike a short distance away, Joe approached the area with caution. No doubt several of the robot masters would be on their way if they hadn't arrived already. Slipping past an alleyway, the undisguised rebel stopped and retreated a few steps. He was sure he'd just seen something move near a crack in the wall. Sneaking quietly towards the figure, Joe struggled to peer through the shadows to see if he'd discovered a friend or foe. He was so focused that he failed to notice a bit of rubble on the road until his foot collided with it, kicking the stone down the alley with a loud clattering roll. Damnit! Ears back, he looked around for cover, worried if it was a robot master, he'd come out swinging. ________________________________________

The two robot masters wouldn't have to worry about Pierce for now. He'd run off to lick his wounds or maybe put a little ice on that bruised a** of his. They certainly hadn't seen the last of the rebels, though. The battle had only just begun.

Magnet
Magnet knew he didn't have the best sense of direction which is why when he'd seen Crash run out of the building, he'd decided to follow. As expected, he led him right to the tower where his magnets-- er...Proto was being held. Magnet eyed the various paths to the tower, trying to decide which to use. He paused to chuckle at Bubble and Crash. Tripped up by a vat of soap? How lame!
Magnet eyed the water way. Well, if Bubble wasn't going to use it, he might as well. No way these stupid rebels would expect him to come from that direction, right?! Grinning, he walked over to the waterway and slid in. Although he couldn't quite float on the surface, magnet used his magnetic field to keep himself off the bottom and keep the water at a short distance from his delicate circuits. Directing a force behind him, he pushed himself slowly through the water. Ha! The rebels would never see him coming!
Unknowingly, the tip of the horeshoe magnet on his forehead protruded from the surface of the water slightly, giving him away.

Top’s eyes flicked up briefly when the screens once again cut to rebel broadcast, waiting only long enough to hear the coordinates given before he was out the doors without so much as a glance backward. And he still wasn’t anywhere near the first one out- this was a seriously motivated pack of bloodthirsty bots (not that he didn’t understand completely).
The time it took to cover the distance between the Tower and the destination was more than enough to consider some tactics, but it honestly hadn’t taken him long to decide on his approach.
Considering who he was, the circular route was always the right choice.
He was certainly no Quick, but he was on wheels and he knew how to use them- Top could haul when he needed to. He was still a good distance from the coordinates given when he put on the speed and swerved down a side street to cut around to the far side.
When he did start to actually approach the coordinates, it was in an irregular looping path, criss-crossing ruined streets and doubling back to peer at piles of rubble and crumbling buildings that looked like particularly promising cover for rebel rats. While he was making progress towards the building, it wasn’t fast or direct in the least.
It wasn’t even that he was trying to find an unguarded route, not really. He had no doubt that wherever the rebels were holed up would be defended from all angles.
He certainly hoped so, anyways. As much as he’d like to break Flashover himself in several places, he really wanted to tear some holes in his little inner circle on the way there. See how much the a*****e liked it from the other end, seeing his friendsalliesfamily beaten and broken in the dirt.
With careful maneuvering it was quite possible to drag Bubble free of the dish soap trap. The soap was still spreading across the ground, but once further from the center of the impact it was much easier to stand and get one's footing again.
Magnet, however, was a real -jerk- for laughing at his fellow Robot Masters. You get an A+ for teamwork sir. 8|

True, the waterway had been meant to trap Bubble, and Magnet was -not- someone any of the rebels had expected to use the path. Thankfully (for Flashover and his followers) the trap would have a rather good effect on the magnetic master as well.
The waterway had been lined with copper piping, through which an electrical current flowed. Enjoy your little trip Magnet.
Sure, he was basically walking in to a den of snakes - what with all the renegades, and the Robot Masters who had sided with Wily running around. But, he didn't give to shits about whoever was around, he just cared about getting his brother back.
He took the back-roads and the shadows, hoping no one could pick out the little Blue Bomber easily in the crowd that were starting to hover around the co-ordinates, ready for a fight. He didn't like to harm citizens . . . but sometimes there had to be an exception or two.
Sighing out loud, Rock jumped forward, going to see what he could find.
