Actually, youre ALL at the start of the ramp. :proud:
continuing...
Who are you? said NSBFR-X.
Excuse me, but I believe this is my dwelling, and I who shall be asking the questions, said the Ninjabot. Who are you, I wonder? I doubt that you are really enemies, since you have attacked the ones whom were trying to capture me.
Capture...you? said Flick. So you ARE that renegade!
I prefer freedom fighter, but that will do, said the Ninjabot. Clawdius twitched a little, but made no other sign.
Your name, please? said Tengu. We will give you ours after.
Taki, blurted the Ninjabot. Well?
Tengu, said Tengu, and introduced the group one by one, finishing with Tsunami.
So, I wish to know why you are here. Explain, said Taki.
Tengu turned to the others.
Go ahead, said Clawdius. It helps to give newfound allies our plans so they can help us.
Taki laughed. Already you count me as an ally. You should not be too trustful, especially in parts you are unfamiliar with.
Well deducing from the situation, it would be better for us if you were an ally and not an enemy, said Flick.
Wisely spoken, said Taki. Talk of your quest.
Titanium gears, said NSBFR-X. Six. Need them, gotta find them and destroy bad guy who stole someones identity. Explained.
I see, said Taki with an lift of the wedge. I believe I remember the kind of this land, and previously my master, with one. Unfortunately, I am not so willing to put myself in the middle of a circle lined with enemies who were once allies, so I must be protected. In order for you to prove your strength, you must first defeat me. One on one, on that arena. She indicated the large platform that the ramp led to. If you can defeat me, then I will join your team. Now choose who will go forward and fight me. She crossed the ramp and drove over to the platform, and waited.
Looks like we have to decide, said Clawdius.
Arena - circular, no hazards, but no walls. Get shoved off the edge and you lose.
You must fight Taki to let her join your team, but only one of you can fight her. Pick a number from one to seven. Whomever gets the number closest will fight Taki.
4
4
Hang on, surely we cant pick the same number.
#2.
7
Yes, you must choose a different number, from 1 to 7 mind you. Martijn, Chris claimed the number 4 first, so choose a different number please.
I actually wanted to create a loophole where Chris and I got to fight Taki together...
ow well
5
1
6
Im guessing that makes Tsunami 3
The number is...1. :proud: Frank is correct.
That means NSBFR-X will fight Taki.
Tactics please, Frank. :)
Ill use the spinning bar, partly for the invertibility and also because it should mess up the Aluminium armour quite nicely. Her speed may be higher, but that means my control is better.
continuing...
I will, said NSBFR-X.
Are you quite sure, Frank old bean? said Clawdius.
Definitely, replied NSBFR-X. My spinning bar will do it. As he spoke the words, the spinning bar instantly replaced the scoop, and without another word he crossed the bridge to face the ninja, while the others looked on.
Good luck, Franky, said Flick, with a slightly amused tone.
So, youve come, said Taki, acknowledge this with a lift of the wedge.
Indeed, said NSBFR-X. Lets get it on. The bar started to spin up.
Then bring it!
Takis words echoed across the sanctum and she charged at NSBFR-X, quite fast actually, however NSBFR-X dodged it in the nick of time and Taki went sailing by, leaving her in perfect position to get hit by the spinning bar.
CRASH!!!
Perfect position, and perfect hit, as the aluminium armour was ripped clean off Takis side panel and she was spun away. She exposed her own blade now, and drove into NSBFR-Xs own weapon.
CRASH!!!
Another echoing blow, and both weapons stopped immediately, however NSBFR-X now had the advantage, as Taki had high-centered herself, driving right up onto NSBFR-Xs bar, and NSBFR-X driving to the edge dumped her off. At the last there was a wail, and she was gone.
The others hardly breathed. NSBFR-X had won in a major way...but what had happened to the ninja?
The question was answered almost immediately. Taki had suddenly appeared in a flash of blue light, right across from NSBFR-X, who turned sharply. She was in the same state from before NSBFR-X threw her off that edge, and the sounds she was making were plainly panting sounds: she had taken a beating.
You are...most definitely stronger than I am...although I hate to admit it... Taki panted, raising the wedge again. I will...join your crusade for now...but after I slay the king...I will decide if I wish to remain with you...or not.
Fair enough, said NSBFR-X. Need a - ?
No, thank you, I carry my own, said Taki, using up a Tool Kit, healing herself instantly. I carry two more, in case any of you are ailing or in need.
Great! said Flick. Now lets go kick bot!
YOU HAVE ACQUIRED A NEW PARTY MEMBER: TAKI!
You have acquired 2 Tool Kits!
The party, now increased in number, left the sanctum, and the tunnel, and came out into the fresh air...only to halt at the sight of several elite ninjabots all pointing their weapons at them.
Okay, THIS isnt good, said Tsunami.
ENCOUNTER!

If some robots distract them, I think myself and Tsunami could flip them over quite easily. If they hit Tengu, it might be pretty entertaining.
Agreed. Methinks we can take on one Ninjabot each while the three flippers dash about and do their stuff. Taki is welcome to join in too if she feels fit enough.
Perhaps try talking to them first? Failing that go for the wheels.... considering what Warhead could do to Nightmare, an fbs could certainly be entertaining.
Well, considering what Son of Whyachi can do to Nightmare...considering what Mauler can do to Nightmare...
Well I havent seen those but I have seen Warhead :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQFYzyrfrP0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQFYzyrfrP0
Thats what Whyachi can do...
If it comes to a fights, Ill use my hardox scoop to mess those spinners up. Ill be able to get the scoop under the spinner before the teeth hit, so Ill only be bounced up a little, not flipped.
flip em, flip em, flip em!
Now, Im not normally impatient, and I know that my tournaments are lagging as well, but when is the next update going to be?
Soon, soon, I had just placed this at the bottom of my priorities list for the past while. I will update it shortly. Sorry about that.
Again, sorry for lack of updates. :sad: I should have another update up by the end of the day.
continuing...
Surrender the renegade, NOW! ordered one of the ninjabots.
Clawdius and NSBFR-X turned to each other for a moment, then turned back to the ninjabots.
Would you like a plain answer? said NSBFR-X.
Or would a good, old-fashioned bot-kicking spell our answer out? finished Clawdius.
The ninjabots growled in response to that remark. Their discs spun up quickly, and they made a beeline straight for the heroes without another word.
I guess it cant be settled peacefully, then, sniffed Die-Ceratops. Whatever. Prepare to be annihilated!
But before any of the others could move, Tengu had already blasted out from the pack. Careening straight towards the first Fu-Ma ninjabot, Alex spun the blades up dangerously, and just was able to hit the completely exposed wheel before taking a hit himself, sending the ninjabot flying with an amputated wheel. The other four closed in around Tengu, but then the other heroes swarmed in and the fight went quite ugly. Tsunami was able to tip over one, but took a gash in the side when he got too close as it tipped over. Tengu took out another ninjabot, sustaining absolutely no damage, severing both wheels this time, while Flick impaled a wheel of yet another, and NSBFR-X took the back of the ninjabot and shoved its disc into the floor.
CRASH!!!
The hit sent it flying, disc removed and landing with a clatter nearby. Then all the heroes converged upon the final one, who seemed to be twitching slightly.
The devils curse upon you! screamed the ninjabot. I shall be avenged! With that he charged straight for Taki, only to be smashed by Tengu, and sent flying with his fellows.
Thank you, I could not have chosen better companions, remarked Taki with approval.
€œEh, it was no trouble,€ said PMPY.
Ooh, are you alright, Tsunami? said Tengu, going over to the German bot (careful to stop blades first).
€œI€™ll live,€ said Tsunami with a bit of a groan.
€œWell, where do we head to next? To where that king ninja lives?€ Flick asked the obvious question.
€œI guess so, there€™s nothing else I can think of doing at any rate,€ said NSBFR-X, and he turned to Taki. €œWhere he does reside again?€Â
Taki turned and faced in a direction somewhat ahead and somewhat to their left, thick with trees and other forest flora, though some brick wall could be seen a long, long way ahead. €œOver there, in Ohmi. He rules the city with an iron fist. He is cold-blooded, and ruthless. I should know. I...worked for him once...€ She turned away from them.
€œNow, now, me dear,€ said Clawdius. €œIt€™s what we do right now that€™ll really determine what everybody€™s motives are.€ He raised his beak to its fullest extent. €œEverybody, are we ready?€Â
€œYou bet we are!€ cried Flick.
€œTsunami, you sure you€™ll okay enough with that?€ said Clawdius.
€œLike I said, I€™ll live,€ said Tsunami roughly.
€œThen let us go!€ shouted the Scottish crusher loudly, and everybody made their way towards the nearby city.
----
€œOkay, we€™re nearly there,€ said Die-Ceratops. They were on the outskirts of a decent-sized citadel, very tall yet menacing and full of shadow and malice. They approached now warily.
€œSo tell me, will this emperor or King or whatever guy have a heavy guard around him?€ asked Tengu.
€œNaturally,€ said Taki. €œYet he is tougher than they are.€Â
€œHeads up,€ said PMPY. €œWe€™ve got company.€Â
PMPY was right. About a dozen ninjabots were guarding the nearby gate. They looked quite menacing, with great spears alongside katanas.
€œUgh, the patrolmen,€ moaned Taki. €œThey are quite difficult to defeat, this from my own experiences with them. They are not pushovers.€Â
€œWell what do you suggest?€ growled Die-Ceratops. €œIt€™s the only way in.€Â
Taki laughed. €œYou forget with whom you are speaking to. I know every inch of this kingdom, and there is more than one way into the kingdom, and out of it.€Â
€œWell then why did you lead us here?€ said NSBFR-X, albeit confused.
€œTo show you that I was not lying about the gate being heavily guarded,€ explained the ninjabot.
€œAnd there is a secret passage, is there?€ Clawdius was suspicious.
€œThere is, and unless you wish to be carved up by those unsightly swords and spears, you will have to trust me,€ said Taki.
€œWhat do you think about this, guys?€ said PMPY.

What will you do? Will you trust Taki the ninja and enter the secret passage, or will you engage in a possibly futile attempt to storm the front gate?
(Message edited by kodster on February 28, 2008)
Well they weight twice as much as us, so it can be presumed they are pretty potent. Ill go for the secret passage.... or smash my own hole in the wall further down if that doesnt work out.
The only thing those Ninjabots have going for them is their weight, the katanas will have too much area to do much damage, and pneumatic spikes suck.
Still, theres a lot of them and although Im sure we can take them we cant do so without making a lot of noise. Because of that Id rather go for the tunnel.
Im also for going down the tunnel. Being invertible, I certainly wont be able to do anything to them, even though I could easily throw them aside.
BTW, would it be possible, Kody, after each post to specify how much health each robot (including Party Members) have? Itll probably come to the point, eventually, where we could be picking up more damage than we think, and I do like being on top of how much health I am in. Aside from that, I thought that was the original idea anyway.
Yes, it would, thanks for bringing that up, Chris. Ill include that in later posts.
Next post up either in a few hours, later tonight, or tomorrow.
Ooh, havent posted yet.
Im for entering the Chamber of Secrets too. :wink:
So, thats four of us for the tunnel.
I love chambers, especially when theyre of secrets
Is it just me, or has this thread stopped?
Mark, the drill around here as that some stuff gets forward really slowly and with big delays
Have some patience man
Will update tomorrow. :)
Sheesh, dont be so impatient. I may start outlawing impatience on my threads. :P
Do you think Cyrilium could join the team as a team bot?
When I mean team bot, I mean like Tsunami and Taki.
If so, you cannot get him until the 5th level. With him comes a tool kit and a platinum bar.
No. Entries are closed.
Mark, stop making worthless posts. Thats all you do, so stop.
