Sorry for the delay, lads. Been taking a little break from the writting this weekend :)
CHAPTER 4: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONBALLS
DATELINE: Rouken Glen Park, Giffnock, Scotland, 6:36pm
With a few deafening crashes, Bertie finally landed down in the wood, taking out the odd tree on his way as he screeched to a halt along the forest floor.
Please tell me the other two suspects have a few acres of nice open grounds in their bases he groaned dizzily. However, the team simply ignored his complaints and drove him further into the wood, following Nicoles layout of the park. Within minutes, they reached a clearing and found themselves at the edge of an large duck pond, a small cave nestled on the island in the middle.
Let me guess... Bertie sighed and folding his wheels into his body, the bus floated across the little lake and up to the island.
Same procedure as always, Bert, Aaron said matter-of-factly and Bertie bobbed back to shore, grumbling under his breath. The group then turned to the caves entrance and realised that it was blocked by a set of thick wooden doors.
...do we knock? Andy asked tentatively.
Dont see the harm, Alex said casually and hacked a way through the oak panels with his lightsabre, revealing a gold-painted firemans pole leading down into the darkness.
Not the most stylish way to make an entrance, Elle said a little sniffily, but itll have to do and one by one, the troop began sliding down into the cave.
Blissfully unaware that the plastic skull lying beside the entrance had captured the whole thing on tape.
**********
After only a few seconds of sliding (combined with the odd Woot! of excitement from AJ), the group landed in an undignified heap at the bottom of the rocky shaft.
Everyone alright? Elle inquired.
I think I bruised my cerebrum, Chris squeaked, but still managed to pick himself up with the rest. The team surveyed their surroundings. They appeared to be standing on the edge of a large stone courtyard, a magnificant castle standing just behind it, nearly touching the caves unnervingly high ceiling. Slowly, they crossed the square, many of them a little nervous about the gallows standing in the centre.
This isnt right, Aaron whispered, anyone else get the feeling were being watched?. Suddenly, a bang filled the cave and a cannonball smashed into the stone floor, mere inches away from the troop.
Now I do, Matty groaned and several figures lept down from the four walls of the courtyard. Several bulky men with large facial hair, ragged clothing and the odd limb missing here and there.
Pirates?! Kody exclaimed, oh, this would be so cool if they werent trying to kill us!. And that indeed looked like their intention. However, these werent just your normal run-of-the-mill, Treasure Island, bring me Peter Pan! pirates. These paticular rouges were equipped with cybernetic parts to accompany their swords and guns. Several featured a cannon for an arm, while others had circular saws in place of hooks. A small group even appeared to have pick-axes for peg-legs.
Ye be goin nowhere, mateys! one of them growled, twirling his cutting disc with a hairy finger, cept praps Davey Jones Locker!
Hardly like battling S.P.E.C.T.R.E., this, is it, mlady? Chris whispered to Agent Mann.
DECISION TIME!

STEVE SEZ:
Again, apologies for the delay, chappies. For the record, its interesting to note that your current foe (the esteemed Mr Ellis) is in fact a real person - my real-life best mate, as a matter of fact. And it is with his kind permission that his likeness, his estate and his piratical whordes are able to appear in my little tale. :)
**********
Immediately, the crew had morphed into their robotic forms, while Elle began cartwheeling her way around the pirates. Their simplistic brains baffled by hers and Love Bites manouevres, a small group failed to notice the Archangel of the Abyss creeping up on them. In a rather icky mess of oil and sparks (amoungst other things), legs and pick axes were flung to one side with pained cries of AAAAAARRRRR!, as GeForce catapulted the wounded ruffians up and over the courtyard walls.
Kody seemed to be having a ball too. Despite taking a few dints in its titanium-hardox armouring from a saw-weilding pirate, Super Gore wrapped its claws around its ankles and rammed the disc-clad delinquent into several of his comrades. After cutting a few foes down to size, the Big Nipper lookalike twirled around and shunted its captor smack-bang into the waiting Knightrous Oxides flywheel. Lets just say the resulting collision would have made Jackson Pollock proud.
Matty, on the other hand, was having much less luck. Though managing to nibble away at a few legs with his own saw blade, one of the pirates simply jumped on top of him and began slowly hacking into the carbon/kevlar shell with his pick-axe limb. Fortunately, a quick shunt from the rear by Love Bite managed to knock the thief to the floor (Cheeky boy! Matty thought) as the Archangel used him as the canvas for his next gruesome masterpiece. Agent Mann was enjoying herself as well. Her gymnastic moves easily avoided the blasts from the arm cannons and any pirate that got in her way ended up with her high-heeled boots shooting into their groinal areas. After only a minute or two of this mindless violence, barely a handful of the pirates remained.
Well, that wasnt too bad, Matty commented, dusting himself off as Knightrous and the Archangel chased the remaining terrified rouges away. Now, whos up for a little penetration?
Oh come on! AJ winced, thats just disgusting!
...what?! Matty exclaimed, I meant the castle! Honestly, guys, give me a break! I am not the most screamingly homosexual person on the planet, you know! Ever heard of the Backstreet Boys?!
Can we just get on with this? Elle groaned and silently agreeing with her, the group sidled through the courtyard and right up to the massive fortress doors, little bronze warhammers for knockers.
Okay-doke, Nicole, Chris said chirpily, lets get a look at the internals before we go in. Got any traces of Mr Devo here?. Cue some more trademark clicks and whirls.
[Negative indications in present range. Most likely location of subject would be the hidden Trophy Room.]
And just how do we find it if its hidden? Alex inquired.
[Simple. Head back to the gallows.] Not quite sure what she was getting at, the team stepped back into the courtyard and up the wooden steps of the scaffold. [Now tug the noose sharply and activate the lever at the same time].
Allow me, guys and gal, Kody said smoothly and cracking his knuckles, he yanked the thick rope like he was ringing a church bell, just as Agent Mann gave the lever a sharp kick. The trap door fell open with a click and the ground below pulled apart to reveal a ladder leading down into another passageway.
Any further underground and Ill be home, Aaron muttered with a roll of his eyes as the gang started descending into the darkness.
**********
Now ever further beneath the parks surface, the troop finally reached solid ground again, the long stone passageway they had just entered almost turquoisey from the torches lining it.
At least it cant really get any worse than what happened upstairs, AJ said brightly, but then Alex forced his head down the rocky corridor and his eyes seemed to grow wider than usual.
The entire cave was just one booby trap after another. First up was a row of heavy crossbows (their pressure pads more than a little obvious), followed by several pneumatic swords punching in and out of the walls. After that came a few giant hammers pounding into the floor, tentacles flailing from the ceiling which seemed to resemble loose school ties, a little bridge crossing a killer-sponge-filled pool and right above the door at the end was the enormous cannon of a Panzer tank. The group just stood there dumbfounded, Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan being pumped in through speakers littering the passage.
...well..., AJ jittered, who fancies a stroll?
However (strangely), Chris didnt seem quite as worried as the others. Its not all black, he pointed out, see, according to the blueprints, theres a switch between each trap. That must turn them off so Mr Ellis can make his way back out trouble-free during visits. If one of us can shut off each obstacle, well all be able to make it through to Wedge Devo.
Thats all very well, dude, Kody gulped, the question is just how to do that...
DECISION TIME!
The pirates may have been vanquished, but now, this grisly gauntlet stands between you and Ellis immense wealth of pilfered items - Mr Devo possibly amoung them. How do you intend to clear each trap to access the Trophy Room? Remember that both robotic and human forms can be used at any time. No restrictions in this citadel, baby. :proud:
