Examining Insanity

[Maltese]

Geoff: *Following Lynx with Vlad* Sure, why not?

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: ... *starts following the rest of the group* Hey, what do I get from this quest, anyway? I hope it's something that gets me off this darn island. Like... one of those flutes from Super Mario Bros. 3. Those are cool.

[Maltese]

Meanwhile, at the center of the isle...

???: They cannot defeat me! For my Hyper HK Captains will stop them. Even if, by some freak chance, they survive that, they will still face the wrath of DR. WOODMAN!!!!

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: *Standing behind Dr. Woodman* Yeah, yeah, we get it. You're an egomaniac. Now are you gonna fight me or what?


(What the hell happened will be revealed eventually)

[Maltese]

Dr Woodman: *Sputtering* How did you get past all our defenses?

*Everybody shows up behind Laharl*

Vlad:Don't know about him, but I made a lot of coconuts. Now, tell me. How did an idiotic Robot Master learn how to build Nano-robotics? Talk or we'll see how well YOU stand up to fire!

Dr Woodman: You'll never take me alive! *The team is surrounded by turrets.*

Vlad: Well, I'll leave this for Geoff.

Geoff: Wait. What? *He's shot full of holes*

Vlad: Now, KILL HIM!

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: An enemy made of wood. Seriously. How batshit STUPID can one person be? *Begins randomly lobbing fireballs at Woodman*

Ishizu: *Covered in splinters and a few burn marks* Note to self: Stay AWAY from the guys Lynx is attacking.

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Hyaaa ha ha ha! Bet you didn't know I could jump that far, huh? OVERLORD'S... WRATH! *Summons a load of fireballs, 2 fly into each turret, leaving nothing behind when they're blown to bits* And now for you... Pin Down! *3 rings appear around Dr. Woodman, rendering him unable to move*

[Maltese]

Woodman: Oh shit! *All the fireballs hit him. When the dust clears....nothing happened* NOT! I'm shielded by the unbreakable shield generator over....there?

Geoff: GAH! *Currently bashing the shield generator to bits*

Vlad: Planned for it. Die now, would you?

[Robtcee13]

*Insert Dark X Slash Here*

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: *Gathers more fireballs* See, this is why I'M classified as an intelligent bad guy. I'M actually smart enough to put the shield generators INSIDE the shield. Not that difficult a concept. *Throws more fireballs*

Ishizu: *Fiddling with his portal generator again*

Lynx: You're gonna get yourself warped somewhere worse if you keep messing with that thing.

Ishizu: But I'm bored...

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Really, what could be worse than this hellhole? ...Oh, right, let me see that thing. *Steals Portal Generator from Ishizu* *Jeopardy theme starts playing* ...Does that always happen? Shut that damn thing up.

[The Ultramind12]

Ishizu: *Pulls out the microphone, snaps it in half, throws it into the air, and blasts it with a Vaporizer* Stupid thing. Anyway, gimme that, you'll just break it, you neanderthal. Also, there are LOTS of places worse than this. Felarya, to name one.

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: I'm not gonna break it! Give it here! *Grabs it* Hmm... Hey, how did you make this damn thing work again? I think I see a problem. *Points at a reversed battery*

[The Ultramind12]

Ishizu: ... Son of a BITCH! *Grabs it and flips the battery* I could have sworn I put the batteries in straight...

Lynx: *Pauses for a moment from throwing fireballs* You marked the positive and negative sides wrong. *Continues throwing fireballs*

Ishizu: ..................................... I knew that... *Points it and presses a button* *A portal opens and something like a cross between a raptor and an F-14 screeches at him from the other side* *Presses the button again, closing the portal* ... Ooooookaaaaay, not quite the problem. *Opens another panel* Shit, the coordinate translator is shot to hell. Until I can find a new one, this thing's useless.

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: What the hell? How did you manage to break a coordinate translator? I've got one back at the netherworld though I highly doubt I'll ever make it back without a Dimensional Ga-- ...Wait a minute. Open that portal again. It sounded like my netherworld.

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: *calmly walks over to Woodman in the midst of all the chaos while dodging any fireballs that happen to come his way* Here. Hold this for a second, will ya? *hands him a Gooey Bomb* *walks away, still incredibly calm*

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Hey, let me join too! *Tosses Smart Bomb, shortly after, raining down Overlord's Wrath upon him*

[Maltese]

Dr Woodman: *Is now reduced to his constituate atoms*

Vlad: *Sigh* So much for reading his memory banks. Oh well.

Mian Screen: *Turn on*

Dr Wily: Attention! If you are hearing this, you have foiled my new plan to destroy megaman forever! If you are megaman, I'll get you next time! If not, you people are assholes. Not that it matters, as this base will now explode in twenty seconds!

Vlad: Oh dear. *Grabs Ishizu's portal generator* Do hold on! *Shoots a portal beneath the party's feet. We all fall down, into...an underwater city?*

Geoff: Vlad, what the FUCK was that?

Vlad: Thinking with portals.

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: ... Well, at least we're off that darn island. *sits down* *pulls out his boots and pours out the sand* *removes his gloves and does the same* *takes off his cape and shakes the sand off it* Holy crud, it's like I'm bleeding sand here.

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Urg... I hate water! I hate sand! I wanna go back to my ne--

Etna: If you say netherworld one more time, prince, I'm going to put this spear through your eye.

Laharl: ...Huh? Etna! Get your ass over here! Do you know how long I've been looking for you!?

Etna: Well, who do you think got me here. *Indicates Vlad*

[Maltese]

Vlad: Forgot to compensate for trans-dimensional flux. Damn.

Geoff: Uh, Vlad?

Vlad: Yes?

Geoff: Where are we?

Vlad: I don't know.

[Robtcee13]

Etna: Well, dammit. Seems the bastard who got me stuck in this world doesn't even know where this world is!

Laharl: Eh, if there's stuff to kill, I'm fine. Hell, if there are ancient ruins to conquer...

Etna: Well, you're in luck, prince.

Laharl: Huh? Things to kill... Inside ancient ruins? Things are finally starting to look up! *Swims at full speed to the ruins*

[The Ultramind12]

Ishizu: Idiot! You NEVER activate this thing without the coordinate translator! We could have gotten warped into pocket dimension, and this thing is NOT designed to get out of those.

Lynx: You didn't design it with pocket dimensions in mind?

Ishizu: Dude, even SHADOWLYGER has trouble getting out of pocket dimensions, why do you think he dislikes them so much?

Lynx: Touche.

Ishizu: Point is, it can get INTO pocket dimensions without a coordinate translator, but even with it, it can't get OUT. You have to find a natural exit, or something stronger than this. *Puts the portal generator away*

Lynx: Meh. *Swims after Laharl*

Ishizu: ... *Shrugs* *Follows Lynx*

[Maltese]

OOC: How are you swimming? We're in a glass domed city. So, there's no way to get into the water...

Vlad: This is strange. I knew where we were going to show up, but we're not there. This bears further exploration. Come! *He starts walking down a nearby tunnel.*

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: *puts his boots, gloves, and cape back on* *stands up* Hey, uh. There aren't going to be any wooden robots or anything stupid here, right?

[Maltese]

Geoff: Probably not. Lack of material, for one thing. C'mon, let's make sure Vlad doesn't destroy reality as we know it or something.

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: *Swims through the air, blatantly ignoring gravity* >.>

Ishizu: Oh, har har, gravity belt. Nice try, I have one of those too. *Preses a button on his belt and floats up to swim next to Lynx*

Lynx: >_> You're not supposed to point that out.

Ishizu: Too bad. *Activates charge boots and zooms after Vlad*

Lynx: Meh. *Deactivates gravity belt, spins his tails to catch himself and rockets off after Ishizu*

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: ... *shrugs* *follows Vlad*

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: *Has broken the dome and was swimming outside* ...What, you thought the ruins where inside this glass dome? ...Oh, fine. Jerks. *Runs after everyone else*

Etna: G-- Hold on, Prince!

[The Ultramind12]

Shadowlyger: *Sticks his head around the corner, looks left, then right* *Nobody's there* *Walks up to the gaping hole in the dome, where water is pouring it* Is, uh... somebody gonna fix that? No? Damnit, do I have to do EVERYTHING? *Grabs all the water, pushes it back out, and pats down the surface outside* *The water is now simply floating past the gaping hole without pouring in* Barriers are fun. *Disappears*

*Meanwhile*

Lynx: That's strange. I had this weird feeling of my brain being put through enormous stress in the form of mass insanity, then it went away.

Ishizu: Probably Shadowlyger passing through.

Lynx: Probably. *Flys over to Vlad* Hay. Whar's we going?

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: ...Wait... Water... Shouldn't that water be coming here and drowning us or something?

Etna: I haven't seen it. You've got a point, prince.

Laharl: Hey, You! Lombax-man! What the hell happened to the water?

[The Ultramind12]

Ishizu: Gonna take a wild guess and say Shadowlyger happened to it. That could, of course, mean all sorts of things. It could now be Jell-o, for instance. *Pauses* *Takes a closer look at Laharl* You know... you look oddly familiar...

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Huh? I should hope so! I'm the ruler of my very own netherworld!

Etna: Actually, he's just a prince, son of King Krichevskoy.

Laharl: *Evil glare at Etna*

Etna: Uh... *Flees*

[The Ultramind12]

Ishizu: Wait a second... ruler of a netherworld... son of Krichevskoy... *Jaw drops* *Points* *Dramatic background* HOLY SHIT LAHARL! FREAKING AWESOME! *Pulls a book out of nowhere* AUTOGRAPH PL0X.

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: ...You've got to be kidding me.

Etna: ...I don't think he is.

Laharl: ...Yes, yes I am Overlord Laharl! And I... Got teleported to that island due to an unfortunate accident. *Glare at Etna*

Etna: ...It wasn't my fault, Prince!

Laharl: What the hell do you mean?! You were right there, and you could have stopped that balloon with the spear you were about to impale me with!

Etna: (Damn his peripheral vision.) Uh, oh! THAT unfortunate accident. Yeah, I decided not to help.

Laharl: You... Are my loyal vassal. Was it not in the job description that you would save me at any time it proved convenient for me?

Etna: Huh? I thought that meant when it was convenient for me. >_>

Laharl: What did you just say?

Etna: I said "Huh? I thought that meant when it was convenient for me."

Laharl: What was after that?

Etna: Nothing. You asked me what I just said.

Laharl: Are you sure?

Etna: ...Yes, prince. Why would I lie about something like that? I'd much rather lie about my plans to kill you.

Laharl: You have a point.

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: Hey, Ishizu, stop pestering the Overlord. We have more important things on hand here.

Ishizu: *Weepy anime eyes* Fine.

Lynx: So, again, where are we going, mister Russian dude?

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Oh, yeah. I forgot. *Sheathes sword*

Etna: You mean you were swimming around with that out?

Laharl: I don't even notice it anymore.

[Maltese]

Vlad: No clue. But look at this! *Points to strange runes covering the door* Do. Not Enter. Especially if your name. Is. Lynx. Huh. Wonder why?

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: *Enters*

Etna: *Enters*

[Maltese]

*Right before Laharl enters, A roughly 12 ton pillar drops in the doorway. Had Laharl been beneath it, he would have been rendered into Overlord pate*

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: Wha-? I'll teach you to respect your elders! Dimension... SLASH! *Insert long animation of pillar getting sliced in half here*

Etna: Prince, you caught me in the crossfire again.

Laharl: Eh, you'll live.

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: *Raises eyebrow* That's... oddly specific. Of course, oddly specific never stopped me before. *Waltzes right in*

Ishizu: -_-; *Pulls out what appears to be a small umbrella and holds it up* *Follows Lynx*

[Maltese]

As you progress down the hallway, more pillars start slamming down. As you get out of the way, the rise back up.

Vlad: Curious. Hello, Lynx? Do me a favor and throw Geoff down the hall.

Geoff: What?

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: *Follows Lynx, just for the hell of it*

Etna: *Follows Laharl, because she's his "loyal" vassal*

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: Not exactly the strength type, but...

Ishizu: *Beats him to the punch by pulling out a large cannon* *Stuffs Geoff into it, puts a helmet on him, and fires him down the hallway*

[Robtcee13]

Laharl: What the hell does he need a helmet for? This is an RP and he's one of the main characters. That means he's not gonna die.

[Maltese]

Vlad: RP? You play too many video games. But still...

Geoff:*smashes through several dozen pillars. Then is squished*

Vlad: Do you see a switch over there?

Geoff: Yeah. I flipped it.

Vlad:Proceed, gentlepeople.

[Atomic Inferno]

Javi: Hey. Where are we going?

[The Ultramind12]

Lynx: Somewhere. *Continues forward*

Ishizu: Wonderfully descriptive.

[Maltese]

Vlad: Well, Javi, I have no clue. But the door said not to go through, so obviously we're going the right way. *Follows Lynx*

Geoff: *follows Vlad*
