Raphael looked at Magnus then back at Dante, Raphael smiled as he transformed into Magnus and walked up to him. "Your body feels so good, I wonder what your power is?" he laughed and transformed into a crow and flw on a building as a three came down. He watched the lumberjack. Dante yawned as he looked at Magnus. "He has a nice power, the power to transform into anything and anyone a get it abilities. I know this just by watching him." he then turned his attention to Raphael, "He is no match for me tho!" he smiled as he watched the events with a yawn.

"Dude, did he just turn into me...and compliment my body?" Magnus asked, more than a little bit disturbed. With a heavy sigh Magnus walked back over to Jeff, seeing as the potential fight had been diffused....for the moment. He was about to comment on the fact that the great Samson Mortlock himself had just strolled into town when he spotted the mysterious figure that had seemingly come out of nowhere. Magnus froze.
He recognized that guy. "Oh balls." Magnus muttered. He'd hoped that the army wouldn't even notice this town. Hell, he'd placed wards and "don't-look-at-me" runes all around the town. But if the Mechanist King himself was here....
"Well that's just great." he put a hand on Jeff's shoulder, steering him in the opposite direction. "I do believe that we've overstayed out welcome here, kid. Time to get out of town before things heat up."
Of course, there was the chance that he could defeat the King. It didn't seem that he'd brought any guards with him. Still, Magnus didn't feel like busting out any spells just yet. For all the wild and whacky powers that some of the people around here had, true magic was a rarity that Magnus was hesitant to reveal. Never reveal your trump card too soon, after all.

Fury was glad to have finally found a sympathetic ear. "Nah won appreciates me," he complained, throwing his own arm around the stranger's shoulder. He began to walk down the street, practically dragging his new friend along. "Everybody betrahy me. Ah'm fed ahp wid dis wirruld."
Fury looked closely at his new/ only friend. He seemed vaguely familiar. He tried to concentrate on the subject,then coughed and gasped for breath. Christ, man, you almost forgot to breathe! he reprimanded himself.

"Overstayed our...ok, fine. Let's just get out of this crazy place." Sense returned to him and he cast a look around him. "Please tell me, Mr. Wizard man, are places in this land that are...more...normal? Or are my worst fears to be realized and this place be the most normal?"
-
"Excellent!" The Mechanist King struggled against the vice-like grip of Mitch Fury, feeling the metal components of his body creak and moan. He would have to remember to oil his joints later...and that sounded dirty. "Why don't we go...this way..." He tried desperately to direct Mitch towards the edge of town (away from the gigantic fallen tree). "I have a hover bike that can take us back to my base."

Finally breaking free of Mitch Fury's grip, the Mechanist King drew himself to his full height and examined his new opponents. "A shapeshifter, hm? You're exactly the kind of trash I intend to eliminate from Centros. I'd ask if you knew who you were dealing with, but I think it's plainly obvious that you do." In dramatic fashion, he threw back his hood, revealing handsome (but not too handsome so as to alienate the ladies from his company) face, only marred by a singe robotic eye.
"Indeed, I am the Mechanist King. I'd ask who you thought you were, standing up to me like that, but frankly I don't care. You are all trash before me. Hero's Refuge has escaped my dominion for too long, so this is fair waring: surrender or be eliminated."
A gust blew back his cape, revealing metallic arms and hands. Smirking, he flexed, feeling missiles load themselves into his fingertips, and the directed energy beam weapon begin charging in his palms.
Make your move, he seemed to say,

"Halt, criminal scum!" Fury yelled, pulling not only his huge sidearm from his shoulder holster, but also a pump-action shotgun from. . .somewhere. Fury wasn't even entirely sure where he got it from.
He leveled both firearms on his enemies, noting that his new friend was flexing his magnificent, um, I mean beautiful, um, I mean, solid body in preparation for a fight. "Ah'm naht yust mad, Ah'm furious!" he yelled.

Raphael looked at Fury and shrugged he looked back at the Mechanist King, "Yes, I am a shapeshifter. You are my meal to me, nothing more and nothing less. I will make your death painful for calling me trash!" he stepped forward but Dante quickly stopped him. He screamed in anger and dropped a heavy bag which was on his back. It was a huge bag, Dante spoke quickly as his mannequins opened and tipped the bag. It was full of mannequin parts. "Mechanist King, never and I mean Never! Tell me to surrender if you want to keep your life!" now there were 15 fighter mannequins and 10 archer mannequins all surrounding the area. The archers were on top of buildings all aiming at the Mechanist King. "Now then, surrender now or be eliminated!" Raphael gulped at all the mannequins and jumped on a building to get out of the way.

Fury opened his mouth, making the profound and eloquent argument of "aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggh" as he opened fire with both guns. Several of the animated mannequins were hit, falling into their component pieces.
"Rest in pieces!" he yelled between gunshots.

several mannequins fell to pieces but they were quickly rebuilt and the light steel was still in good condition. The mannequin archers shot at Fury while Dante took cover. "My mannequins will always be rebuilt. No matter how many times you knock them down!" Raphael watched in amazement but shivering in fear. The archers shot and hit Fury's arms as the fighters attacked the Mechanist King.

Kenho flew up into the air he started to examine his suroundings when he saw a group of people. With clap of his feet he barreld down and crashed down into the crowed.
"OWWWW"
Kenho preceded to get up.
"Where am I what going on?"
"Why do all you younglings have to cause so much trouble?"
"Back when I was 50 we would be slapped..... OWW my headache, Weres my dentures?"
"OH MY GOD!"
Kenho raised his mouth and aimed at the archers.
"IMAH FIREN MAHH LAZOR BRAHHHH!!!!"

Fury laughed. He had been shot in the arms and shoulders more times than he could remember and it had never once slowed him down. He did however wince every time he had to put antiseptic on his wounds.
Seeing his gunfire was having little effect on the mannequins, he redirected his limitless stream of ammunition towards the man Dante. He continued to scream loudly for no readily apparent reason.

Wings probably had to be the fastest and most efficient form of transport, as Perish had never covered so many miles in such a short time.
Except there was a slight problem: she was horrible at flying, and after a particularly bad stroke of luck with a rogue air current, Perish was thrown into a swoop at positively terrifying speeds.
She wasn't actually scared or anything, just amazingly grumpy as she plummeted toward a vaguely familiar town. It wasn't too bad, she probably had enough time to do something to prevent an atrocious landing, just needed to do something with her stolen wings.
But not knowing enough about flying inevitably caused her wings to snap when she tried to unfold them whilst plummeting at insane speed.
Next thing anyone knew, a black streak had shot out of the sky and crashed into the thick of branches and leaves of a tree that was mysteriously lying on its side on top of a collapsed building.
Quite suddenly Perish burst out of the foliage the tree had to offer with a few twigs stuck in her hair, sharply looking about at the town and not recognizing anything specific, even though she could have sworn she'd noticed something familiar from the sky.
With alarming casualness Perish tore the broken avian wings off her back and cast them aside so she could move a little better, even though there was a lot of leaves and branches pinning her. She couldn't really say whether she was grateful to have crashed into a conveniently placed tree as opposed to the stone ground of the streets.
Though it was about that time she finally did a double-take and look again at the commotion going on basically right next to her, as one of them had a remarkably noisy weapon pitted against a squad of metal things.
"What..." was all Perish managed to say.

The Mechanist King manged to avoid Mitch Fury's unlimited gunfire and set upon several of the mannequins Dante set at him. His hand lasers burned through their bodies and left puddles of melted material. True to his word, the mannequins rose and rebuilt themselves. They weren't particularly strong, but with their regenerative capabilities...well, they could get annoying very quickly. Perhaps they would even be a match for his own Army.
Maybe.
He pounced upon the first one to rise and breathed the Breath of Life into it, but it failed to take. That only meant that there was already a resident soul within. He swore. The Breath of Life only allowed to animate lifeless objects, not those with souls.
"Fury! This is getting out of hand, we're leaving. At the edge of town, our transport awaits!"

News of The Mechanist Kings departure towards Hero's Refuge spread quickly among his minions. So it was no surprise when Chase didn't show for the daily roll call, much to the dismay of his superiors.
Indeed this was the truth, and Chase was eagerly making his way towards
Heroes Refuge.
It was easy enough, even for someone of a lesser attention span like himself. All he had to do was follow the sounds of falling trees/screams of death and he was golden.
In truth, Chase hated violence and only wanted his creators
attention. So much so, that he had a tendency to put himself (and
others) into harms way to get it.
Upon entering Hero's Refuge, Chase was a tad bit thrown off by the ongoing chaos. Apparently someone had incited a riot...or something. Of particular note was the rather large, muscular built man who was yelling in an unintelligible, yet remotely familiar language. If he was going to find the Mechanist King, he was going to have to find someone who knew people. This guy looked like he knew people....with lots of holes in them.
"HEY!" he yelled.
With no reply he stepped directly in front of the man, ignoring the gunfire that whizzed by the top of his head. Being shorter than most had its advantages.
"HEY!" he yelled a second time, still with no reply.
It was then that Chase noticed the pale red eyed vixen standing next the to both of them wide eyed, stupefied. He really wasn't sure what a vixen was. But what was that behind the both of them? THE MECHANIST KING!
In a fit of excitement/hysteria, Chase charged his Mega Buster LEMON CANNON and fired it directly into the air, garnering everyone's immediate attention, stopping the fight. The erie silence only added to the tension in the the air as everyone turned their attention to the small, innocent eyed robot that had just decimated a flock of geese overhead.
"HEY" Chase proclaimed, breaking the silence. "YOU GUYS NEED ANY HALP!?"

Scar was walking in a forest bored, he then collapsed and started seeing images in his head. It showed him a nearby town and Dante was there." his eyes opened wide and he began running. He quickly found Heroes Refuge and looked around. There was Chaos everywhere. he sighed as he walked through the Chaos. Water surrounded him and turned to rock hard ice when destroyed more ice surrounded him. He found Dante hiding and smiled! "Dante! I found you!" Scar dropped a bag and opened it. there were mannequin parts.10 more mannequins were built all surrounded with water which turned to rock hard ice. They attacked the Mechanist King helping Dante and his mannequins. The ice was destroyed but quickly surrounded them again stopping some of the attacks.

Dante jumped out the way of the bullets as he took cover. He watched the fight continue as he hid. He then heard a voice he had never heard for a long time. He turned to Scar with a smile. "Scar! Just in time to save my ass." he smiled as he got his mannequins out and attacked. He watched as the rock hard thick ice covered the mannequins. Dante smiled again. "I see you got yourself a new power!" Raphael watched Scar carefully and flew down to him. He changed into his human form. "Two powers? You have two powers! How?" he watched Scar's mannequins attack the Mechanist King still amazed.

"Dere are too many ahv dem!" Fury yelled, blasting yet another mannequin. He looked at the King, as well as the little blue guy and the chick that had joined. They needed to get out of here, reach the motorcycle the man had mentioned.
"Get to da choppah!" he roared.

Chase really wasn't sure what that towering example of manliness had just yelled.
Get to da choppah!
"Da Choppah?"
Chase really wasn't sure what a choppah was, but everybody seemed to be running towards the edge of town. Following in pursuit, he turned to blast a mannequin that got too close. The mannequins were hot on their heels, it was gonna be a long run.

The Mechanist King's hover bike (which he had totally hidden outside of town earlier) heard it's master's call and activated. The voice activated controls switched on the electronic components and revved the engine. Anti-grav supermagnets pushed the bike off the ground once a current was run through them and the thing zoomed off through the woods toward the King.
With a couple of backward shots, the Mechanist King jumped onto his bike, pulling Mitch Fury and the strange blue robot who he vaguely remembered as being a part of his army. "This isn't over!" he shouted at the town. "Soon my army will be on your doorstep, and we will see just how your heroes stand up to an unflinching army of machines!"
And they were gone, out of town faster than the mannequins could run after them. The Chromium Tower loomed ahead, but the King had no time to admire his marvelous creation. Anger burned within him, churning just below the surface. That town had made a fool of him, and he intended to humiliate them for it. A simple conquering would not be enough.
No. He would see it burn.
He lead Mitch and the robot inside and up several levels, to a florescent light-lit room with a raised map of the entire continent. A gray tint was applied to areas conquered. Centros was entirely grayed out - well, save for the tiny speck that was Heroe's Refuge.
"Gentlemen." He indicated Mitch, the robot, and Rurik. "You have proven your loyalty to your rightful king, and in gratitude you will be given high positions within the army. But for now, we must discuss the proper way to take Hero's Refuge."
