You all go to one place at a time. So whichever place you vote for gets the most votes, is the place you go to first.
And Paul, I was looking for a Robot Wars pun on the area of Gaul, which was in the Roman Empire some thousands of years ago. So I decided to choose the pit. Dont act like Im insulting you. :P
What is your choice? asked Kody.
I say Elsinore, said Chris.
Well I say The Gaul Pit, said Steven.
I say boo to those two, Frank smirked, and also say that Ohmi Bot-fu Kingdom is the place to go.
I agree with Frank, grinned Martijn.
Im not particularly fussed, to be honest, said Alex. But if Ohmi seems to be the more popular decision, which it is, then I will go.
Same, yawned Matthew.
Then, said Kody, your first destination will be Ohmi Bot-fu Kingdom.
Excellent... said Frank.
So whats this kingdom like? asked Steven.
It is... Kody smiled grimly. Brutal. The ninja robots there are blindingly quick and will try to get a good attack on you as fast as possible.
They wont really be faster than me, said Martijn.
Dont underestimate your enemies, that causes dangerous overconfidence, Kody warned. Now, two more things: in these portals, you will go by your names of the robots you have been turned into. In other words...
Im NSBFR-X, said Frank lazily.
Tengu here, said Alex.
Die-Ceratops, ready to roll, said Chris.
Push Me Pull You...that sounds kinda a weird name for me... said Matthew.
Im ol Flicky, then, grinned Martijn.
And I...AM...CLAWDIUS! cried Steve. The beak raised to signify this.
Good! said Kody. The last thing is that there are several power-ups and revival points. Power-ups can be found throughout all the levels and can aid you in conquest. You can each carry limitless supplies and can trade them over, but if you buy them in a shop then get ready to pay. I have given possession of the gold to Clawdius for now, but he BETTER NOT SPEND IT ALL ON HIMSELF. Steven moved a little gingerly at that point. As for revival points... Kody pointed to the opposite end of the room. There was a metal cyndrilical chamber, opened by closed by two hatched. That one can be used to revive one of you. It can only be used 5 times during the entire course of the quest. Also there are items that can revive you and also repair damage completely, but if you cannot find them then buy them at the shops. Understood?
The robots made motions of movement as if to say Yeah I got you.
Then go on! said Kody.
The robots approached the static screen rather cautiously...and then drove in...
Stage 1: Ohmi Bot-fu Kingdom...
All anyone could see was blackness...then it slowly came into view. A vast room. Behind them it was nighttime out, and the full moon was rising. They were at the front entrance to a grand temple.
This looks quite cool, Im glad we chose this, said Flick of the Wrist gleefully.
As soon as Flick spoke, however, another robot entered from the opposite end of the room through a large chute. It gave a cry.
Who are you?! Speak! it demanded.
ENCOUNTER!
Ninjabot
Shape: Mute (S7)
Armour: 3mm titanium
Weapon: Pneumatic ram shaped like a katana.
Srimech: None.
Heres a suggestion...if it cant self-right, Id best handle him. I say talk to him first, then give him a warning. The instance he comes close, Ill flip him right up and possibly over. Once we catch up with him (where ever hes gone), a little damage threat wouldnt hurt. Once hes told us all we need to know, we go with what Steven said, and smash him to pieces.
Spin up to speed and then ask - then even if it does decide to attack its going to have its weapon ripped out. Plus 3mm titanium probably wont give it that much defense. I say however go for confusing him with words to get him to join us if at all possible, citing complex psychobabble to confuse it into our bidding. Then it can be used as cannonfodder later.
Speak! demanded the ninjabot again after a long silence. Tengu VII began to spin her blades up, and NSBFR-Xs drum appeared at the front. Clawdius Decimus Murderous however remained silent.
Who are you, sir? he asked the ninjabot.
I do not have to answer to thieves such as yourselves! snarled the ninjabot. Now die!
And the ninjabot charged forward, katana ready. However Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus was ready. The second the ninjabot came close to them, Die-Ceratops slipped under its front and tossed it very high into the air, and down onto its back, and Tengu smashed into it, tearing off its side armour. The ninjabot screamed in pain. NSBFR-X also came forward but Clawdius moved in front of him.
Answer now or we will destroy you! ordered Clawdius. Who are you and what is this place? There was an obstinate silence, then...
I am Kunao, a Fu-Ma messenger of the feudal king! You are in the bot-fu Kingdom of Ohmi that the king claims! the ninjabot squeaked in fear.
And whats going on? asked Flick. It sounds like theres a war going on.
Those are soldiers trying to kill the renegade! said the ninjabot. One of our kind has betrayed us!
Betrayed? said Tengu. Well that doesnt surprise me, the way you all act.
Curse you! said the ninjabot. I will kill all of you -
But he never got to finish, for Tengu smashed into him and tore out his vitals (electronics, motors, etc :P), and it gave a final scream of pain before ceasing to move.
Well, that takes care of that, said NSBFR-X. What do you think we should do?
What do you mean? grunted PMPY.
Well, Matty, said Flick. Its quite obvious. Theres a king, and then theres the renegade. Who do you think we should find first?
We might find the king in this building. He might have a Gear, said Clawdius.
Or maybe the renegade has it, said Tengu.
Lets vote on it, then, said Die-Ceratops.
****
What do you do? Find the feudal king, or the renegade?
Id have to agree with Franky. To add to it, trying to find the king could just lead us on a wild goose chase somehow. I have this feeling in my blood. Or is it now electronics? Oh, whatever.
