Wako's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You are standing in the middle of the main street of a sizable downtown area.

The early morning sun hangs low in the east. The air is salty and fresh – and oh man is your nose sharp! You can smell the people who came in here with you from yards away! Other stuff smells that strong, too! There is a spring breeze in the air. How do you know it’s spring? You just do. It’s the vibe here. Tropical trees and flowers grow in window boxes and small gardens. There are fairly standard shops (a movie theater! A book store! Small clothing boutiques! And so on), with trucks, cars, and bicycles parked at the curbs. There are no people or animals in sight, but there’s birdsong hanging in the air. It seems to be coming in every direction.

Oh. And you’re dressed like stripper clowns.

[he's not aiming for the cockpit but his slashes with his sword are the wild swings of someone who is just aiming to hit with as much force as he can

...and ooooooh, right, I am outnumbered. turning tail and running!]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

[attempting to box him in with clonebots]

Thought the idea was that everyone goes down.

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[preteinder]

[if one of those bots gets straight in front on him, he is going for a direct point thrust, ramming into it to get past]

Loosen up! They're just giant toys, don't you want to have some fun while you have the chance? I'm not going to just give up!

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

[r-rammed, losing some ground, and just taking the thrust, not caring about damage, to get closer to Alois]

[aaaaand then the other clonebot is piling onto the wiftybot's back. SANDWICHED.]

Didn't realize running counted as fun.

[DISMANTLING TIME not drawing his sword, just trying to keep him very close and damage limbs]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[preteinder]

Never played tag?

—get off![frustrated flailing, and shouting. if he can, trying to stab through his own robot and the other two, if YOU'RE GOING TO SANDWICH ME, YOU'LL GET IMPALED WITH ME TOO!!

if, of course, he hasn't had his arms restrained or damaged. if he has, and has no place to run, yeah, he's screwed and going down]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

Maybe I have. Looks like you're it.

[I AM FINE WITH GETTING IMPALED AND TAKING DAMAGE ON THE WAY but the first thing I'm taking out is your sword arm, and then you are going down, kiddo]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ Peshent goes up with a glorious poof of pink!

(Alois, in one piece and out of the crazy outfit, goes to endgame.)

Another music shift. ]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[myninjaway]

[and now one of your clones and Naruto are inside a ring! one of them was purposedly left out of it]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

[the clone outside the ring disappears as he reforms into a single bot; also, already has some sword holes]

Looks like it's just us. I could probably destroy my armor pretty easily with this feature. Or we could go full out and you could flatten me.

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[myninjaway]

Wako is watching, you know. I want her to know we're taking this seriously! We're fighting for her, after all!

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

[there may be a bit of a grim smile, not that you can see through the glowy bubble]

Then let's go! You'll be able to finish yourself off?

[yeah he's hemmed in, not particular fast, and has no idea how to fight (yet), this is going to end pretty quick]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[myninjaway]

Yeah! But I'm gonna try to get her to do it! This is her heart! She's the one who needs to make things change!

[I'm sorry new guy! attacking without mercy, this might end in Naruto making you fall out of the ring]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[identityformations]

Then go for it!

[doing his best to get some blows in return, but not in the least bothered by the pummeling he's receiving...going down with that little grim smile]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ Mark's Gimelock goes up with a dramatic explosion.

(Mark to endgame, in one piece and out of costume.)

Final music shift. ]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[myninjaway]

[gets rid of that ring and approaches Wako]

Wako... Can you hear me?

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ The cream-and-gold robot nods. ]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[myninjaway]

[this is where a dramatic icon showing Naruto's back would come in handy]

Look... I don't really understand what's going on here. You don't need to tell me, either. But I know what it's like to feel helpless and depend on others, and I don't want you to feel that way inside your heart, you know?

So. Can you be the one to destroy this robot? Please.

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ The cream-and-gold robot flickers. ]

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[springtime]

[ For a moment, it's just Wako, drifting in her pink bubble. The Y mark on her chest shines brightly. ]

I... thank you.

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ Wako’s cream-and-gold robot flickers back to life around her. The white-gold pieces that looked like a skirt detach and shoot lasers. Damn. It’s an awesome skirt.






Your robot explodes. ]
