McGrath and Ringo venture forth to the Realm of Fire to see what happened to Protocol. What they find is not good at all.
<McGrath> Heyas. And RPG START.
<Jason_Korat> 4LOWER YOUR VOICE, MATT! THEY MIGHT HEAR YOU! XD
<Tansy_B> ::is… at her desk yes… plotting list of Things Can Do To Spinner Without Getting Into Trouble::
<Shade_Ringo> ::XD! is.. restocking the janitor’s closet with more Raid after their buggy friend showed up::
<Shade_Ringo> <Hertz> ::is at the front desk, reading up on the latest in bug intel.. “Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar”::
<McGrath> :: sees Ringo restocking the closet :: Ringo, I need volunteers to go with me to get Protocol back to this dimension.
<Shade_Ringo> ::nearly drops the armful of cans he’s placing on the shelf:: Come again?
<Tansy_B> ((::snorks Hertz XDDD:: <Hertz> Wow I KNEW cake was bad for you… but now I will use it to kill more icky bugs that come in here!))
<McGrath> Nothing good can come from her being over there, and I can’t go alone.
<Jason_Korat> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol! <Hertz> Finally, I can put Shade’s weird baking fetish to proper use!))
<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<Tansy_B> ((<Joe> ::few days later:: … who’s bright idea was it to smear cake and icing along the walls and ceiling? ::as loads of bugs have moved in:: <Hertz> Curse you public library!! This book should NOT be read by minors!!))
<Jason_Korat> ((::soooodead!::))
<McGrath> ((::dies:: <Hertz> :: his inner child is more of an outer child ::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::just sighs, dropping rest of cans in there:: Well, I don’t see anything good coming from her being *here*, either. ::shuts door before any cans can roll out::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!both))
<McGrath> :: doesn’t answer that. Seems a bit uncharacteristic for him to give Protocol a second thought ::
<Tansy_B> <Protocol> ::you just love me thaaaaat much. ::
<McGrath> ((<McGrath> It’s a love-hate relationship. Mostly hate… ))
<Shade_Ringo> Gimme’ one good reason why we should risk our tails for that pain in the neck. You forget how we *found* you in her basement?
<McGrath> She risked her life to stop Octavious Rex when she didn’t need to. I think we owe her for that.
<Tansy_B> ((<McGrath> 99.9% hate. 0.01% love.))
<McGrath> ((<McGrath> And it’s heavily diluted love, mixed with a large amount of “meh” and apathy. ))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> ((LOL!!))
<Shade_Ringo> But!-uh, we- er.. shoot. What if she likes it there? Who are we to deny her a nice warm vacation?
<Shade_Ringo> ::mutters:: A permanent one.
<McGrath> If you need an additional excuse, we can collect some intel on what’s going on there. Too many bad “coincidences” involving that place make me wonder if something else is going on. I found these. :: holds up two belts with rather large, semi-cumbersome buckles on them with a button ::
<Shade_Ringo> Hmm? ::takes up one of the belts, looking it over:: What are these? ::goes to press button::
<McGrath> <Belt> :: once button is pressed, generates a person-sized bubble mostly transparent bubble :: <McGrath> They were among the items confiscated from Spinner. They generate dampening fields that will reduce our presence there. Not completely, maybe 90% effective unless we get really close to something.
<Shade_Ringo> ..Whoa. ::pokes the bubble, mouth curving into a half-smile:: Where do these guys come up with this stuff? Alright, so we wear these, and hardly anyone knows we’re even there, is that right?
<McGrath> :: puts the other one on :: Unless you walk up to something and poke it, yes.
<McGrath> I’ve also managed to get another pair of these rigged together :: holds up a set of regular handcuffs that have a soldered/welded box with electronics in it :: These will keep her from using her abilities if you get them on.
<Shade_Ringo> ::pushes button to turn off the belt, and puts it on around him. smile widens at the handcuffs:: Okay, now you’ve sold me.
<McGrath> Then let’s go. :: walks downstairs and to where the portal generator was returned. Enters the coordinates into it, and after a moment, it comes to life ::
* Tansy_B is now known as RoF
<Countrykat> ((guys, Hate to bail so soon but yeah think I’m going ahead to bed. thought I was good and awake but I’m crashing now. Hopefully I’ll be here tomorrow night but if not I’ll be here Sunday!))
<McGrath> ((S’okay! Nights!))
<Countrykat> ((nights everyone!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((No worries, CK! Have yourself a good’n!))
* @Countrykat Quit (Quit: Jose Jalapeno! On a steeeeeeeeeek!)
<Shade_Ringo> ::follows him downstairs, wishing he had time to grab that duffel he’d packed so carefully when he thought they were going last time XD:: Paw. I can think of a lot of better ways to spend an afternoon..
<RoF> ::the desolate place seems quiet… still hot with red skies and volcanos oozing lava in the distance. Swytch’s castle seen nearby::
<McGrath> :: presses button on his belt, and steps through the gateway and into the arid climate ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::pushes button. pinches his nose, and steps through the portal::
<McGrath> :: once they cross over, the portal closes behind them :: One thing I should mention :: holds up a remote control with a single button on it :: This is our only way back. So, if I die and you don’t want to be stuck here, you should try to get it from me.
<Shade_Ringo> Homey. ::flatly, looking at the landscape. then ears twitch at McG’s words:: As long as I have your permission to pick-pocket. Well, where-to from here?
<McGrath> :: points :: See that menacing looking castle? Anything of importance that happens around here happens there.
<Shade_Ringo> ::squints at the castle, then starts walking in its direction:: Let’s make somethin’ happen then.
<RoF> <two fugly demon guards> ::boredly stand at attention at the front gate… but neither seem to see or notice McGrath ‘n Shade::
<McGrath> :: cautiously approaches them, holding up a finger to his mouth in a “Shhh” motion to Ringo, and walks between them ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::tempted to poke one of the guards, just cuz, but just struts on past::
<RoF> <guards> ::lalalaaaa no one just entered. one scratches his ear a moment::
<McGrath> :: once they’re clear, makes way down the corridor, and whispers :: Best place to check first is the dungeon.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Guard> ::sniffs air:: You smell dat? <Shade> uh oh <Guard2> Smell like petroleum by-product. <Shade> The best hold you’ll find in any market! Oops. <Guards> ::blink, looking at one another::))
<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<RoF> <castle interior> ::creepy and ominous… seems to be no activity in the main halls. save for one demon pacing back and forth in front of the throne room doors.:: <Shing> ::muttering to himself, contemplating something:: <dungeon> ::several unsavory prisoners kept there, but none seem to notice the pair::
<RoF> ((::DEAD::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::whispers back:: Heh. I guess even here they don’t like her kind.
<McGrath> :: enters the dungeon, walking past the various cells, etc., seeing if Protocol is among them ::
<RoF> <Protocol> ::nope! not down there among the prisoners::
<Shade_Ringo> ::checking the opposite side of cells, not seeing Prot. meanders back towards the entrance to the throne room, noting Shing muttering there, and attempts to listen in::
<McGrath> :: frowns at that :: The throne-room then. Maybe we’ll get lucky and overhear something… :: follows ::
<RoF> <Shing> ::staring now at the throne room when they arrive back up… then begins pacing again, grumbling::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shing> ::contemplating out loud:: Paper, or plastic… paper or plastic.. shoot, I have to pick up some Swytch’s favorite meal of lil smokies, and I *know* that’s what they’ll ask me!))
<RoF> ((LOL!!))
<McGrath> :: looking around, possibly a high-window opening above that leads into the throne-room? ::
<RoF> <window> ::a couple are most likely::
<Shade_Ringo> ::fans self a little, undoing collar a bit if he can. knew it’d be hot, but this is burnin. looks around for a way past the pacing Shing::
<McGrath> :: takes out grappling hook gun and discretely fires it upward at the opening :: Come on :: holds out hand to Ringo ::
<RoF> <Shing> ::pauses, ears perked… glances around but doesn’t see the grappling hook from his vantage point::
<Shade_Ringo> ::nods, grabbing hold of McG’s hand::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shing> I smell team spirit..!))
<McGrath> :: both rapidly ascend upward, and hopefully land with grace… ::
* RoF is now known as Swytch
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shade> ::performs a double-axle into a back flip, sticking the landing:: <McG> You want a medal or something? <Shade> Nope, already got three in Torino. ::preen::))
<Swytch> ::inside… kneeling down before her throne, facing the door, holding her head, pulling at her hair, snarling and hisses::
<Swytch> ((::dies::))
* Jason_Korat is now known as Sage_Watching
<Shade_Ringo> ::oofs some, catching the edge of the window to his gut. manages to pull himself up onto the ledge::
<McGrath> :: crouches at the edge of the window, looking at the scene :: What’s going on…
<Shade_Ringo> ::crawls over to the other edge, eyes narrow as he sees Swytch::
<Swytch> Get out… it is *I* who deserves the right to magic and science! ::raises up:: No! It was my idea, I am far superior to you, foul demon! ::hisses:: I am queen of this realm! What have thy accomplished worthy? Just watch and see… now let me have control!
<Sage_Watching> ((<Swytch’s Jester> ::skips around:: Swytch is over acting! Swytch is over acting!))
<McGrath> :: frowns :: It’s Protocol. She’s trying to take over Swytch’s mind…:: scratches chin in thought ::
<Shade_Ringo> Oh no..
<Swytch> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! <Jester> Dag, yo! Leave it to a demon to go and get her own self possessed!))
<Swytch> I will not! ::snarls:: It is MY body! Which I will soon assimilate! ::laughs… then growls… then laughs again::
<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<Swytch> ((bwhahaha the irony XDDD))
<Shade_Ringo> You think she can actually overcome a demon?
<McGrath> I don’t know… :: then frowns :: If she does, we’ll need bigger handcuffs…
<Shade_Ringo> ::groans:: Understatement of the year.
<Swytch> ::rolls a bit on the ground some lol then lets out a shout… lays there panting and slowly stands. eyes are electric bloooo. grins then laughs!::
<Shade_Ringo> I guess that answers my question.. ::grimly looks at the blue eyes:: So you still wanna’ save her?
<Swytch> ::ears perk and she turns, looking directly at McGrath and Shade::
<McGrath> :: are likely at eye level with the possessed Swytch, and likely completely visible to a Cyberkat ::
* Swytch is now known as SwytchProt
<Shade_Ringo> Er!.. ::taken aback by the look::
<SwytchProt> Well well… whot have we here…? ::walks towards them::
<McGrath> :: stands up, doesn’t run, yet ::
<SwytchProt> Come to check on me? Or her? ::sneers:: How long did it take you to escape, Jason?
<Shade_Ringo> ::knows the gig’s up, standing as well:: So you finally found your place in life, huh?
<McGrath> Who are we talking to, exactly?
<SwytchProt> The most powerful being ever seen… ::laughs evil like:: Protocol!! ::grins looking at them:: Curious to whot I was up to? This… ::forms fireball in one hand, a blue energy ball in the other:: Look… magic and technology… merged together! And in MY control!
<McGrath> That’s quite the accomplishment :: tensing a bit at the display:: I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to find you like this, let alone alive.
<Shade_Ringo> Yet another understatement.
<SwytchProt> I’m insulted. ::eyes them both::
<Shade_Ringo> ::shrugs::
<McGrath> I suppose you should be, being you and all. Now that you’re this, what happens now?
<Shade_Ringo> ::wonders if she’s doubly weaker to water now >_>::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<ProtSwytch> Well, I don’t know.. maybe I’ll go on vacation… or melt the polar ice cap. Something awesome.))
<SwytchProt> Whot happens is I free myself from this dimension, and take over ours! :;stop wondering! XDDD <_<; :: And you came all this way… you two can be the first biologicals to perish!
<McGrath> ((<McGrath> According to my Pokedex she has a quad weakness to water attacks. Go, Ringosaur! Use hairspray attack! <Announcer> It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE!))))
<Shade_Ringo> Sorry, I’m a non-perishable item. ::taking a stance::
<SwytchProt> ((::dead!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((LOL!!))
<SwytchProt> … really now? ::throws the fireball then energy ball towards them::
<McGrath> :: shoves Ringo forward, dodging the first blast, the second likely obliterating their perch and sending them crashing the decent distance down into the throne room ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::gyah! shoved forward and then goes crashing down to the throne room:: Urgh..
<McGrath> :: slow to get up, looking up at the still giant-sized SwytchProt, ruling out any hand-to-hand combat ideas instantly… :: Ringo, run…
<SwytchProt> ::laughs:: I love it… Dark Kat wanted a cyberdemon… well I’m even more demon than he planned! ::sends out a fire blast towards them::
<Shade_Ringo> My thoughts.. exactly.. ::pulls himself up, and sorta hobbles towards the exit, the fire blast helping push him along::
<McGrath> :: will do the same, the fire blast exploding behind him and sending him flying forward into a crash/roll, landing on his back, the wind knocked out of him ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::sprawled forward at the blast, landing on his side. groans, getting up, grabbing one of McG’s arms to drag/help him along::
<McGrath> :: is helped up and makes way to the door. Is it locked? ::
<SwytchProt> Oh come now… you two are making this too easy! ::forming fireballs in both hands… about to finish them off but… stops and twitches a bit… growling:: …this… is… MY realm!!
<SwytchProt> <door> ::unlocked from the inside lol::
<Shade_Ringo> ::rams shoulder into door, flinging it open::
<McGrath> :: as Ringo gets the door open, pauses, looking back to see the internal struggle :: Wait, this might be our only chance…
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Door> ::is a split farm-door type:: <Shade> ::only rams open the top part, and flips over the bottom half::))
<McGrath> ((::dies::))
<SwytchProt> ((::dead!::))
<Shade_Ringo> What?! Our only chance to *die!*
<SwytchProt> <Shing> ::blinks as door opens:: Have you finally dispatched of… ::not seeing McGrath or Shade:: Your Highness…?
<Shade_Ringo> ::erk, back-pedals into throne room, turning head to look back at SwytchProt::
<McGrath> The crown. In her weakened state, we might be able to remove it. Normally that’s impossible, but if her being is in flux, then there’s only at best a half-hold on it.
<SwytchProt> ::stumbles back, falling on the ground:: No! I will not bow to you! Yes you will! ::hair pulling self arguing again ensuing:: <Shing> ::hurries in past McGrath and Shade, flying in and above ‘em:: What is the matter with you? <Swytch> What… do you think… is… you ignorant fool…! Nothing… just begon with … yourself!
<Shade_Ringo> ::squints an eye at the crown, then stumbles at her fall:: Now or never! ::springs forward, racing towards her head::
<McGrath> She’s down. Come on! :: running toward her, trying to avoid any giant flailing limbs that could result in instant death ::
<SwytchProt> ::rolls on her stomach, kicking lol clawing at the ground… large hand goes towards McGrath… tail swishes towards Shade::
<SwytchProt> <Shing> … she’s finally gone insane… ::scowling::
<Shade_Ringo> Hurk! ::takes a baseball slide under that swishing tail, then if he makes it under, pops back up into a stumble/run forward::
<McGrath> :: dives between fingers, though trench-coat is snagged by an oversized finger nail and has to hastily remove it :: <Remote> :: clatters out of pocket and onto the ground behind him ::
<McGrath> <Remote> :: closer to Ringo than McGrath ::
<SwytchProt> Get out… get out get out!! <Shing> Don’t have to tell me twice. ::huffs and leaves, slamming door after himself XD::
<SwytchProt> :;starts to roll… towards the remote! O.O::
<Shade_Ringo> Crud! ::skids to a jerky stop, adjusting path to dive face-first for the remote::
<McGrath> :: dashes forward, leaping up to grab one of those garish ear rings she wears and use it to swing upward on top of her head ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::grabs it! then looks up as a giant shadow falls over him:: O_O! ::rolls himself, double-time, towards the wall!::
<SwytchProt> ::body still rolling… just missing Shade with a slam:: <head> ::top of is reached where the jagged gold jewel encrusted crown sits::
<McGrath> :: grabs at the crown to hang on as she rolls, cutting his arm badly on one of the jagged edges ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::rolls up onto his feet, staggering as he tries to keep forward motion happening, holding his dizzy head. manages to secure the remote in an inside pocket::
<SwytchProt> You will not… I will so… ::writhing on the floor lol still arguing with herself, not noticing McGrath on her head::
<Shade_Ringo> ::finally rounds the shoulder, and leaps at a lock of her hair, starting to climb up::
<McGrath> :: steadies himself there, and then frowns as he realizes his crowbar and other tools were in the coat. Takes out Glock and fires a few rounds at where the Crown connects, likely to no avail, as mun does not anticipate their success on this one. Hopefully that doesn’t snap Protocol back into control… ::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shade> ::tsks as he climbs:: These split-ends are despicable.))
<SwytchProt> ::wouldn’t think it but hair is silky smooth! oooo::
<SwytchProt> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> ::might have to remember to ask her what conditioners she uses:: McGrath! How do we- Whoa! ::ducks at glock fire::
<SwytchProt> Gaah! Let me handle this, witch! ::sits up feeling the two on her head… the shots from the glock stung. reaches up to her crown to try and grab the action figure sized McGrath::
<McGrath> :: loses balance, dropping the pistol as it falls downwards and clatters on the floor :: Ringo, I think we need to retreat and rethink- :: grabbed ::
<SwytchProt> ::holds McGrath up in front of her face:: McGrath… I’ve had enough of you… this time you cannot win!
<Shade_Ringo> ((<McGrath> Put me down, or feel the wrath of my real kung-fu kicking action. <SwytchProt> ::squeezes:: <McGrath> ::eyes bug out and squeaks::))
<SwytchProt> ((::DEAD::))
<Shade_Ringo> McGrath! ::dramatically reaching and missing on that one. grrs, looking at the base of the crown::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Shade> If I only had the right blow dryer and hair rollers, I could pop this off in no time…))
<McGrath> :: is grabbed and held, likely without concern for not crushing his bones :: *winces* That’s funny, because I can’t get enough of you.
<SwytchProt> ::sneers:: Any last words to your friend here before I crush you to oblivion?
<Shade_Ringo> ((<SwytchProt> Aw, that’s sweet. Wait! <McGrath> Big cyber-demoness.. will you be my Valentine? <Shade> You got weeeird taste, man.))
<SwytchProt> ((LOL!))
<McGrath> ((<McGrath> Yes, Ringo :: clears throat :: Can you pick up my dry cleaning on the way back?))
<SwytchProt> ((::bustsup::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::climbs up near her forehead, standing, looking down at Swytch’s face:: Hey hot-head! You need some shut-eye! ::pulls out gun, shooting for her eyeballs::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol! <Shade> You know they can’t get out burn marks, dontcha’?))
<SwytchProt> ::yowls at that! feels like something’s in her eyes! ::shuts them, dropping Mcgrath and reaches for her face::
<Shade_Ringo> ::grabs a lock of hair in one hand, sliding down it to the floor:: Let’s do the hustle!
<McGrath> :: is dropped and falls a good three stories, trying to roll and badly breaks his leg ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::oh, thought she was still lying down. XD uh.. drops after hair runs out, but luckly lands on her tail and uses it to slide down further with only a mild drop at the end of the ride:: ..Whew!
<SwytchProt> ::backing up blinking lol healing herself::
<McGrath> Gah! :: stranded on the ground as Ringo gets nearby :: *pained* Press the button!
<Shade_Ringo> C’mon, c’mon, c’mon! ::grabs McG’s arm and hauls it around his shoulder, trying to help drag him along::
<McGrath> :: is dragged along, limping on one leg ::
<SwytchProt> ::finally able to open her eyes looking for them. spots ‘em XD best be gettin’ outta there, she’s charging up one nasty attack!
<SwytchProt> ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::hurries to get to the main hall. once there, starts shouting:: All hail Swytch! Everyone gather round! Show your devotion and come bow before her! By her decree, *come*!
<McGrath> <Various Demons> :: sigh :: Cancel the party. Looks like it’s time to go back to work.
<SwytchProt> <demons ’round> ::don’t hear him XDDD belts of fancy!::
<McGrath> :: his belt broke on his fall XD ::
<SwytchProt> ((ah! mun did not see, strike last line then XD))

<Sage_Watching> ((Heading to bed, guys. Ca’nt stay awake. XD G’night, all!))
