Stillwaterite appeared with Harmotome in tow at the designated meeting spot. Just out of range of Pyrophanite being able to sense them, outside of the warehouse. While they weren't close to the warehouse, Still couldn't help but be appalled yet awed at the aura this was place was already giving off. To think he'd been able to set up like this and be left alone for this long...
Harmotome sneered as she shifted her load. The captain was carrying and holding quite the haul of fire extinguishers. Still thought it was best, given that the Captain had the strength boost over her. The corrupt had raided her favorite hardware store, and was feeling a bit like Rambo with two leaf blowers in her inventory, plus a fire axe for...just in case she needed to behead some youma. She frowned, briefly, scanning the area. They were a few minutes early to the appointed time, but she knew the Machine would be here soon...
Then it'd begin.

Machine made a running, tumbling way to catch up to the clock, the others there and ready to time and place. A duffel with goods came with, hastily stuffed and not zipped. “Suit up, amigos, we’ve got to repo our brother from another mother up in here. Comms have been quiet, so there’s no rumors spread. Good, that. “ “Alls quiet on the front, meantime? No spots of slithering surveillance?” The blue eternal senshi took to a crouch and started hauling out goods to pass around. “ Nive call on the lumberjack, there. Doesn’t need reloading. Think we’ll need to pre-pop seeds?” If Bus, or the bus-faced mamushi was popping them whenever they could be strong armed off the lesser youma, or gotten from civilian passersby, then there was a 50/50 he’d be juiced up on entry. It was a consideration of necessity, rather than preferences on any of their own parts for the practice.

Deep in the warehouse, was Mamushii with a tight hold on Pyro's body as its own. It was hard sometimes to keep the boys personality at bay, especially since they were adjusting to the new general's power that coursed through them.
It was nice though to be surrounded by his children, slithering this way and that. The basement of the warehouse, littered with bodies that had been slowly decaying away from starseed pulls and energy drains were hidden by the piles of his children. It was almost hard to tell they were giant piles of writhing snake masses but they were.
The general youma sat in the middle, surrounded by bright heat lamps and heated chairs, currently donning on the general's pants in a effort to see how much closer he would be to shedding the human body and claiming himself as his own.
A starseed popped in his mouth and he crunched down. "Ssssoooon enough, Thisssss will be all a dreammmm." The snake slithered around the boy's body like a blanket and resting his head on the general's shoulder.

"For now." Harmotome replied. "But quick, ya? The snakes slither everyvhere, and he can see vhat they see." The Captain dropped her load of fire extinguishers, and grabbed one of the suits the eternal had snagged. "I have a few, but vill save for vhen low." She wasted no time and stuffed herself into one, and Stillwaterite followed suit. She dropped her axe and leaf blowers and pulled on a suit as well. "I have some energy orbs." Still replied, and even with the dire situation, would not resort to consuming a starseed. A personal...preference. After pulling on the suit, Still pulled the leaf blower pack back on, and grabbed her axe. "He'll sense us when we get close enough...but at least he won't be able to see us while we have the advantage of being coated by the fire extinguisher." She murmured. Harmotome grabbed one of the said fire extinguishers, and got ready to pull the pin off of it. "So move fast, ya?" She glanced at the warehouse. "After ve are coated, I teleport us to basement." She thought she had just enough juice to be able to carry the three of them that short distance without being compromised. "Best surprise chance ve have." Surprise attacks usually weren't her favorite, preferring a head on charge but considering how easily they all could be dispatched due to the General's skill set and hordes of youma...yeah. Once the Machine was suited up and ready, the Captain pulled the pin on the extinguisher and started to spray everyone down. Still's heart started to beat a little faster in anticipation, since she and the Machine were essentially about to go in blind and Pyro's...and their lives were at stake. Once the extinguisher was empty, Still reached to grab onto Harm, juggled her items, and grabbed onto the other eternal as well. She squeezed the Machine for some reassurance. "On three---" Harmotome said, and then paused for a moment. " Three" The Captain teleported them, and when their surroundings materialized, they were in the basement. Surrounded by the hordes of snake youma, and near one distinct General signature.

Won’t take a minute. PULL THE PIN. Won’t take a minute. Won’t- Teleporting always meant a half breath to orient, all the more through a bunnysuit’s mirrored faceshield. Harm was their blessing, their entry and eyes that knew where to Be. Theirs was to Look and Find fast as magic. Immediately to the light, the body in the noodles. Speed is key- Stun-lock stuttering of starts should stuff his gob, so Machine lifted nozzle squeezed and swept an arc. Maybe he'd be shouting in surprise, maybe he’d get mouthful of blargh and have to choke on that wad while they crossed the distance. Maybe all those noodles would get to be nitrogen ramen. “N’MORENOODSFORYOU”

There was a disturbance among the children, bodies where there shouldn't have been bodies. There was snakes scrambling when they shouldn't be scrambling.
Mamushii couldn't see who was there, the outlines of the three teleported in were not clear and there was no way for him to actually fight back....except there was. He couldn't see them but whatever fools were in the room would taste the poison gas and be eaten by his children.
The boa around his neck slithered away and his mouth opened, not bothered by the nitrogen.
If his children suffered, it was fine, but Mamushii would not take this insult.

It wasn't that Still was dismissing Harm's description of how bad it was...she just underestimated exactly how bad it was. Snake youma were everywhere. They were standing on youma---well, frozen youma, now. Machine was letting one of the fire extinguishers rip, and Harmtome was as well, hosing down where the corrupt eternal wasn't so that it lessened the chances of them being swarmed. Still focused on the General once she found him, and she could see him getting his poison gas ready. She readied the leaf blower, priming it, and pulled on the rip cord. It took a few frantic pulls before it roared up to life, and once it had, she was pointing it at the General and pulling the trigger, a blast of air coming out to keep the gas away from them. "Once you guys have an opening---" She yelled over the roar of the leaf blower. "Start blasting him! The sooner we can start to slow him down, the sooner we can get him out of here!" Harmotome finished with the fire extinguisher, but used the empty canister to smash and squash a few youma around them before she chucked it. "Ya, got it!" The Captain grabbed another one, pulled the pin, and did another sweep around them before she aimed the frozen burst at the General. Actually, that leaf blower was super handy. It kept the gas away and pushed the nitrogen right at Pyrophanite.

Where chemicals had no effect, as they were all hoping happened with whatever magical mess came out of Bus' face thanks to the leaf blower, steel might find a way. Steel was heavier than feathers afterall. And he couldn't see cold steel much, right? First canister emptied got tossed for Pyro's open, youma-possessed kisser. The gas. The Youma. Like dancing around on hot snake coals and getting ready to teleport if the leaf blower doesn't cut it? Never been hit by it. Is it slow or sudden? Does magic gas get through suits??

Gas was not working, and suddenly he was choking on the nitrogen and it was cold and it burned at the same time. Everywhere, he could his hear his children shrieking in fear and pain as the room, once warm and comfortable, felt like cold.
He clung so hard to Pyro's body, the snake scales spreading just a little more over the general's skin, and it burned. The snake burned with a pain worst then when he merged with the human. It froze and burned and burned and burned.
The leaf blower didn't allow him time to think and Mamushii felt his grip on the body shifting and fading. He couldn't focus, he couldn't teleport. He couldn't do anything. He was brought to his knees again, again by humans. By humans that coveted the human he was merged with.
The teenager, the original of the body became more prominent and he shoved and writhed on the ground in pain. It was just like Hauyne experienced when Pyro first became a half youma. The nitrogen started to blow away with the leaf blower, leaving dead youma's on the ground around him.
Mamushii had been abandoned now, not even his children would face the wrath that these brought along with him.

Still wasn't sure she had ever seen quite so clear an opening as this one before. There was a part of her that was in utter awe, too, that their plan was working out so far. So far. She would not get ahead of themselves of jynx them. It wasn't over, it wasn't successful until Pyro was back. When the General fell to the ground, the corrupt looked towards the other corrupt, letting go of the trigger on the leaf blower. The engine still revved, but she could hear, and speak, better. "This is our chance---we can teleport him now! Harmotome---" "Go vithout me!" The Captain snarled. "Go! You take him, I vill stay here and disperse remaining youma!" As a Captain, with the General gone, she could order the weaker ones, those still left and not turned into frozen noodles, back to the Rift. The others, she imagined, would hopefully wander off on their own if she continued to make this area unwelcoming for them. "I vill start cleaning too---" Her lips curled in disgust behind her mask. "Get rid of these heaters. Go, now!" It was sound reasoning, and Still nodded. She looked back at Machine, and nodded to them. She dashed to Pyrophanite's body, and placed a hand on him. She reached out for the other corrupt, waiting for Machine to take her hand, and once they had done so, teleported them all to the next location. The meat freezer Harmotome had shown her while they had been gathering materials.

Go without... that wasn’t an ideal situation, not even a little, but if the officer wanted to stick around and risk themselves for what gain? None that presented itself, save a breath. Machine drop-slide over to Still and Bus and worried fingers with the other’s. The world changed, chilled and sharp with faint ghosts of meat. The meat—metal rack shelving with line after line of red-and-milky slabs ringed the hanging, gruesome rows of half-beasts and quarter bodies recognizable only by one hook-pierced leg. The floor looked frosty. Haüyne tore at the red and black uniform to haul his top up, out, however to try to expose his bodycore to the frozen tiles. “SAY ‘UNCLE!’” “YOU’RE GRIF, AND YOU’RE NOT GONNA BE A STUPID HISSPOT!” “OrISwearWeWillLockYouToFreezeInHereTillDoomsday SAY IT! ”

Teleportation was often a disorientating shift of worlds, and it was even more so as Mamushii stumbled around. Hit with gas, and now he was in a room that felt like ice, covered in nitrogen with gas that he could not produce after sucking in some.
Cornered, preyed upon. By damn senshi that considered themselves friends of the useless human boy he was trying to make disappear. He hissed and fought and stumbled until clothes were ripped open and he was skin to cold....so cold to the floor.
"SSSSSSSSTOP." He didn't have the energy to fight the cold though and he curled on the floor. Unlike his snake body, he would've slithered away but being trapped in this meat suit was painful. SO PAINFUL. All because the corrupt senshi couldn't let their friend be taken over. It was ridiculous.
But it wasn't to Griff, who deeper in the body could feel a chance. He could feel himself clawing from the darkness he almost resigned him too. It was a slow crawl, and he could feel his body getting colder and colder. He wouldn't die but he could. He didn't want to die like a youma though and even mamushii didn't want to die.
"Uncleeeeeeeesssssssss." The s sounded deep and gravely before Pyro's eyes wildly flew around and then rolled back. His body convulsed much like the first time he had taken Mamushii's essence in and soon enough....and very much unlike his first time, his body spasm'd, then shook.....then shivered.
"Where....Where am I?" The voice was so small, his arms coming around his waist. He couldn't see anything, and he panicked. "Haüyne??? Still??? Harm??" He reached out a hand, clawing at the tiles. "It's ******** cold, where am I, I hurt." And he did hurt, because for the first time in a while, he didn't have a slithering voice or snake in his body. It was almost like Mamushii was gone. His eyes were still adjusting but he couldn't see heat, even his own friends.
"guys...Guys don't leave me here....I'm not a pyscho snake youma I think anymore."

Here was the end of the line. A hope that this would work or else...She didn't want to think about what would happen otherwise. Once in the freezer, Still ended up scooting back from the General and the other corrupt. She let Machine move in to do what they needed---what they felt was right. Eyes were slightly wide as they yelled at the form, but her gaze focused back on the said General, especially as he convulsed. Hopefully that was a good sign. Hopefully. Still paused as a small voice sounded. So fragile but so...She gasped, but immediately focused back on Machine, a questioning look in her expression. If anyone would know if this was legit. It'd be them. If their friend was back, Machine would know it.

“ ‘Don’t leave me’—you sure as heck left us with lies to go be a trousersnake and eat people. We should hook your belt to one of these meathooks and label you a rattlehiss. I hear they taste like chicken, and I might have a mind to enjoy some te-haus fried snakebites. Bus, you nugget, you keep your brain in charge and not your snake! You got me? Who you think is holding your sorry butt against the frozen floor right now in HAZMAT but Still an’ I? “ For as much as the other was holding back. It made Machine’s heart hurt, and shoulders ache for want to reach out and hold both of them at once. “NO MORE HISS. You got that? You got yourself under wraps? Stillz an' I done with the game. We're your friends an' we're here savin' your butt. You ATE peeps and Harm-burger heckin’ watched you do it. STAY OFF THE JUICE. STAY OFF THE SEEDS. DONE. FINITO.” “YOU SAY IT, Bus.”

Pyro was still trying to orient himself, and the cold did not help. Though his mind felt clear, the words that Hauyne were saying to him just hurt him. He had gone crazy. Mamushii had taken over, he remembered being scared and being scared he was going to hurt his corrupt friends and that he was gonna hurt Hauyne.
"I ate people???" Sounded badass sort of...."Yeah....Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, please don't hang me by my belt...." He sniffled a bit on the floor. "It was stupid and I... I was scared. And then I wasn't me....I was the snake and he got all angry and I was like in the dark. Are we still in the dark? I can't even see your heat..." His eyes actually felt funny and he rolled over, gently whapping Machine's hands away to let him up, but only to take them again because he was scared he'd never hold them again....would Mamushii come back? It didn't feel like it. It actually felt like the snake had been scared so bad he hid himself deep deep in Pyro's darkness.
"Why are you guys wearing suits." He looked at their glove hands and squinted before he realized something. He couldn't see her heat...
But like the old black and white movies, he could see their body. He could actually see the ugly a** suit. Eyes widened and he pushed himself up, reacihng up to take the haz helmet off Hauyne.
"I can see you...." The words were whispered, "Wha....what happened...." He could see every part of their face, though he couldn't tell him their color.
