The Last Oddetsey

PART II

Epsilon engages the rooster – the sword hums softly as it swipes in devastating arcs, almost as if the atoms of the air itself are being sliced with every stroke. It takes everything the robot has to keep out of the way of that blade, and one slight hesitation and hydraulic fluid begins to leak out of pipes in his left arm as the blade cuts through his chassis and doesn’t even slow down… Epsilon however manages to bull-rush the rooster and once in close range lets off the miniaturized party bomb directly in the fowl’s face…

Vengeance is struggling to avoid the massive electrified punches of the Ogre, and his recently pristine outfit is caked in the dust of demolition. A quick trip as he tries to sidestep the next blow leaves him seeing the titanic fist accelerating towards his face, but then….

SMASH

Phantasmic Slammer, coated in the yellow paint granting electricity immunity has taken the blow for Vengeance – Electricity lights up the room for a moment, crackling around the hand as it leaves a massive fist shape dent in the top of the combat robot. And then…. FLIP.

A combination of the flipper and telekinesis blasts the Ogre directly upwards through the roof, and he sails out over the city in a huge arc, the end of which can be heard here from several miles away.

The Wigglituff is summoning yet more creatures into the fray – most the horrible remains of creatures from that time Clthulhu was subsidizing Jim Henson’s creature shop from behind the scences and succeed in pushing the team back a bit through sheer numbers. However, seeing an opportunity, the fire laser of Vengeance catches a gap in the horde and one shot of the cane laser hits directly to the pokemons rubbery body, puncturing the thing and sending it bouncing round the room while its minions crumble.

In the duel between Eudial and the Death of VHS, long strands of VGS tape have extended forth from the wrists of the black armoured figure like horrific tentacles from the 80s, and suspend the witch seemingly helplessly in the air… The creature begins to monologue…

“Now you see that I…….ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk”

A grin crosses Eudials face. Trying to restrain a pyromancer using highly flammable VHS film is apparently a really stupid idea as fire shoots along the strands back inside the wrists on the Death of VHS, which shrieks with pain. Several more fire blasts and it staggers backwards and then…. Suddenly some crude digital beeping…

“Ahhh it is finally ready, my destruction of you will have to wait a moment.”

Suddenly the whirring starts within the black armour again, though this time it sounds like it is going the opposite way… With the speed of Fast Forward the Death of VHS accelerates out the room at incredible speed to some unknown destination… even as Twitch manages to rematerialize in the room.

However, their feeling of Victory is short lived… a monumental shriek of metal draws them all to the window… one of the nearby figures that had been maintaining the shield – a huge huge retro looking robot has stopped its silent vigil and turned its decidedly creepy gaze towards the party…

"Damn you! Get back - " The enemy had already left. "...here." Eudial groaned. She was starting to have the upper hand too.

And then...

one of the nearby figures that had been maintaining the shield – a huge huge retro looking robot has stopped its silent vigil and turned its decidedly creepy gaze towards the party…

Eudial caught sight of this and jumped back. "Heads up!" she cried. Drawing fire about her, she assumed a defensive stance, ready to fry or overload this thing's circuits if need be.
