Almost got it... Aaaaaalmost got it... AHA! There's a sharp
*twang* as Woodwind manages to... get one hoof free of the
tangled mess. Well shoot, and he'd thought he had it. And it
seems like that dastardly villain had noticed he had guests.
Woodwind sighs and resumes his struggles, eyeing the little
inventor as he summons his robot minions and rises higher into
the air. And just as that's happening a mare who is very
obviously an accomplice to the green coated evildoer shows up.
The black-clad mare drops down behind the advancing army of
angry automatons and saunters forward in a way that's clearly
meant to be distracting. Woodwind ignores it though as he goes
back to trying to struggle free from the no doubt cunningly set
trap, though he keeps an eye on the approaching horde of
mechanical mice. Things could get bad if he doesn't get free
before they reach him... Luckily, one of the other ponies
arrives to help him out, and in no time at all he's free. Not so
luckily, his savior managed get himself stuck instead, and
pelted by toys for good measure. By now some of the droids had
wandered too close for comfort, so the dashing do-gooder is
unable to help Idaho out of the trap in return. Instead one wing
reaches back and pulls out the wand strapped to his hindleg,
snapping forward and unleashing three quick blasts of pale
purple magic, knocking a few of the droids over. Now that he has
some breathing room, he turns and starts trying to extricate
Idaho from the tangled mess.

Hay's mustache twirling ceased momentarily as Catmare made her
appearance on his platform only to start up again with even more
twirlyness, both over the increase of of delicious EVIL in the
building and over the sight if the mare herself. Oh man... the
way she purred those Rs... the way she looked in that outfit...
The way she swayed as she walked...
He shook his head to stop being so distracted and pay attention
to the other ponies below whom he could now again see as he had
unknowingly allowed his eyes to follow Catmare all the way down
to the bottom floor. The droid mouses closest to her seemed to
give her a wide birth as they tried not to get too close to the
feline themed villain while others started to chase after those
small cheese decoys let lose by that infernal Supermare! Squeaks
of delight from them as they hounded the small artificial cheese
was in stark contrast to Haywire's groan of disapproval as he
turned his head to view the scene being made by that guard pony
who was attacking his droid mouseseseses with what appeared to
be cookware mounted upon a stick. Truly a resourceful one this
guy! Haywire would need to see later about testing just how
resourceful by hanging him over his deadly ball pit of doom and
then very slowly lowering him down while leaving to attend other
even more heinous duties about his workshop. For now though,
with how the stallion was bashing Hay's droids, it appeared that
they were being... panned.
How dare he...
The droids being knocked around began to counter by launching
nets and spraying silly string to try and pacify the pony, a few
trick canisters of "peanut brittle" being mixed in as well to
try and capture his attention and reward him with a supah
dangerous surprise while a couple of the blasted away droids
near the recently exchanged detainees of the Super Slink started
to merge together to form one bigger machine! A super droid
mouse! Taller than a pony by... I dunno... a smidgen? And
somehow managing to find a pair of large cymbals to crash
together as it again advanced on the mute pony like some kind of
wind up maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaankey! The newly trapped pony within
the constricting grasp of the Super Slink was not left to rest
however, as Windy's attempts to free hm was met with all of the
potato head toys springing to life and jumping up and grabbing
hold of both of them to deliver sinister and highly distracting
cuddles as the bigger threat closed in!
Haywire squealed in delight over the evil he was witnessing.
Truly this moment would go down in history as when all hope for
good in this world was lost, it being punctuated by the loss of
everypony's precious moon. Bubo stirred a bit at Hay's hooves,
him giving the mechanical bird another nudge as he told him that
he was missing out and that he would be happy to hold him up or
balance him on his head to allow him a better view should he
desire one. Bubo's locked up whirring cued Hay to do this, ad
soon he was half hugging Bubo as he held him up to his chest and
allowed the bird a better look at the hijinks below, Hay's head
being thrown back in the occasional fit of maniacal laughter as
his cannon continued to charge up and his cape billowed to the
side, some convenient thunder and lighting coming from...
crashing and striking above and near enough to the workshop to
silhouette the mastermind from the perspective of anypony below.

Catmare's advance was met with words from the guard pony,
calling her a 'lackey' and that her presence was only
'inconvenient'. Indignantly, Catmare stuck her muzzle up into
the air as she scoffed and replied, "Lackey? You poorrrrrr soul.
Didn't yourrrrrr mother tell you not to antagonize cats? Maybe
I'll have to teach you an extrrrrrra 'special' lesson~." Just as
she reached for her whip however, the droid mouseses began to
overwhelm the guard--moments before another voice nearby caught
her attention. She looked over to the mare in question--first
seeing Supermare and causing her to grin in glee, but pausing
when the voice she was somewhat familiar with didn't sound all
that familiar.
"You'd rrrrrreally thrrrrrow this poor little kitten back into a
cage, Superrrmarrrrre?" Catmare pouted, turning towards the mare
in question so she could begin sauntering over there now. "Meow
it's purrrrsonal. Besides, you and I both know that silly little
litterrrr box can only hold me for as long as I want to be held!
Oh, and I wonderrrr, out of currrriosity, do you have any more
of that wonderrrrful catnip? I haven't had a good fix like that
in a while~," she said, cackling momentarily before removing the
whip at her side. She smacked it once, causing an earpiecing
'[b]CRACK!' to sound through the workshop... only to aim it at
the mess of pipes lining the ceiling of the shop so she could
snap her whip around one of the pipes and launch herself up
there.
On her way up there, a hoof had found its way into the pouch
around her waist that held her caltrops. As she ascended, she
removed the caltrops and tossed them haphazardly on the ground
around Supermare, hoping to at least distract her for a moment
or keep her from moving. Once she reached the pipes above she
disappeared amongst them, repositioning herself somewhere else
in a matter of seconds. Once in this new position, Catmare
lowered herself down from the pipes by attaching her whip to the
pipes and slowly descending as a spider might with its web. When
she got to a good enough position behind the mare, she retrieved
one of her bolas and spun them for but a moment before tossing
them at Supermare's hooves, not really caring what she actually
tied up--just as long as it was something.

Dark Matter's vision swims as a spray of silly peanut brittle
string shoots into his left nostril, causing him to sneeze
mightily enough to take the droid in front of him out of
commission. His joy is short-lived, though, as his forehooves
are punched out from under him and he falls just in time for a
net to wrap around him, pinning them to his chest. Almost
panicking, but not quite, he conjures a large hemisphere of
darkness, completely plunging the swarm around him into
darkness. A few seconds later, the darkness fades but the guard
pony is nowhere to be seen. The robo-mouseseses mill in
confusion for a moment, then go elsewhere to find a new target.
The last one to get moving seems... off, somehow, a bit fat and
bloated, and moving rather strangely. Its fisty-glove stick also
seems to be broken, sticking out at an odd angle and not
retracting.
Dark Matter heaves a quiet sigh of relief as his disguise
illusion seems to be working. He scoots forward, simultaneously
working at the spontaneous knots that seem to have spawned in
the devilish net trapping his legs as he searches for a way to
get to the controls for the cannon.

Her trick worked! The droid mice began to chase the decoy
cheeses. But Ryo had a much bigger problem in front of her now.
Actually walking towards her as this line is being written.
Ryo's stance began to falter, but she gathered her courage, what
little of it she had, and managed to stand tall, as she
delivered her response to Catmare. "Y-yes! That's where you
b-belong." Ryo actually didn't know about the earlier times
Catmare had been arrested. Was escaping really that easy to her?
"T-that's uhm... T-then i just throw you back there...! When
you... Escape... T-that's what i do!"
Ryo's determination took a hit when Catmare mentioned the
catnip. She knew about her secret weapon against her? How was
that a secret if the villainess knew about it already? The loud
crack of the whip drew Ryo out of her worrying, as she knew
she'd had to be ready for anything now. Ryo followed the Catmare
with her gaze as the villainess headed towards the pipes above
her. Before she had a chance to do anything, a barrage of
caltrops was thrown at her, Ryo quickly reacting and giving her
body a one quick spin around, to bring her cape up and protect
her from the flying sharp hoof killers. After getting a good
look at the room again, Ryo was surrounded by the caltrops.
Thinking quickly, she floated a yo-yo looking gadget from her
belt, and with her magic activated it's magnetic core. Giving
the strange gadget few spins around her with her magic, the
yo-yo collected all the caltrops from the floor around her,
making movement safe again. Ryo felt like hoof pumping again for
a such an successful performance, but she instead eeped when her
hind hooves were tied together by something thrown at her from
behind. Ryo lost her balance, and as she fell down on her back,
she thanked Celestia for getting all the caltrops away from the
floor. Ryo instantly began to fight against her binds, and after
a while of failed attempts to untie the bolas, Ryo took a small
knife from her tool belt, and began to try and cut the ropes.

Idaho jumps a little bit, or tries to anyways, as the Mr. Potato
Heads come alive and restrained Idaho and Windy with SUPER EVIL
cuddles and their interchangeable plastic eyes started EVILY
glowing red. Idaho then noticed the SUPER MOUSEDROID closing in
on them. Well... Crud. "Hey, uhhh, could you maybe like, not let
us die?" Idaho asks Windy, who is restrained next to him, with a
small bit of sarcasm in his voice mixed with worry. Not really a
great way to die, being restrained by EVIL Mr. Potato Heads and
then getting confettied to death by a giant mousedroid.

Woodwind almost has Idaho free, he just needs to... what was
that sound? The brown pegasus' head jerks around at the sudden
crashing sound, and his eyes widen in surprise when he sees the
large mouse droid coming right for him. This is enough of a
distraction that he doesn't notice the potato heads coming to
life and attacking. Not until there are several clinging to him
anyway. The little robotic toys weren't much of a danger, more
distracting than anything, but there's no way he can get a good
shot at the super droid with the things crawling all over him.
He bats at the little machines with his hooves, but they're
hanging on too tight. By now the super mouse droid is getting
dangerously close, and he probably only has a few more moments
before it reaches them. In a desperate attempt to knock them
free, Woodwind throws himself to the ground and rolls, enough
for him to redraw his wand when he comes back to his hooves and
fire off a couple blasts at the approaching droid. They aren't
the most precise shots he's ever made, but they do hit the
droid. He just hopes it's enough to stop it.

Having been watching through out from the safety of his
platform, Haywire was committing all of what he was seeing to
his memory the same way somepony as wickedly evil as he may
bottle up the tears of fallen "heroes" to save them for later.
He was in the middle of a particularly satisfying bout of
maniacal cackling when he saw the netted guard pony among the
good guys be plunged into some kind of magicy darkness deal.
Which was *CHEATING*, by the way, as this was a place of SCIENCE
and SCIENCE alone gosh darn it!! He set Bubo down on the railing
surrounding both himself and the controls for his machine high
above the action to free himself up as he leaned his front
hooves against it and peered down at the supposed disappearance
of the pony below. He blinked, stared at one of the remaining
droid mouses for a moment, then chuckled and reached behind him
to pull out a pop gun from his cape, him taking aim then giving
the slidey barrel thingy a strong pump of his hoof to send a
small device speeding toward the "droid", it pluncking onto it
with a sticky side and giving an electrical zap before sounding
a loud beeping that started to draw the attention of nearby TRUE
mouseseseseseseses.
"Ha! It's not that easy you cheater!" Hay called down to the
faker, pausing to giggle before continuing with more, "You think
I can't recognize an imposter among my ranks? I built every one
of my minions myself! I now every single solitary detail about
them like the back of my hoof!" He emphasized this by holding
out his hoof only to then narrow his eyes at something odd that
he didn't recognize and had noticed was blemishing it.
Meanwhile, the supah mouse droid antagonizing the pair of ponies
dealing with the super slink was struck well with the blasts
from the wand wielding pony, well enough at least to have it's
main head at the top be turned entirely around to face the wrong
direction which caused the droid to have to turn completely
around to see them before then having to turn completely around
a second time to move forward and clash its cymbals where it
thought they still were. this was, to put it simply, buying them
some time as it needed to constantly check and correct itself as
it moved forward. But, it may not have even needed to finish
it's advance as the potato heads piling onto the two stallions
began to beep and bloop in a very high pitched manner before
having one of them speak a small message...
"Warning: self destruct in ten... nine... eight..."

Success!
The bolas, skillfully thrown by her own hoof, wound themselves
tightly around Supermare's back hooves. Catmare would have much
rather them go around her front two, as they would have been
much harder to take care of, but it was still a small victory
for her. This gave her enough time to slink the rest of the way
down to the ground floor and assess the situation. For the most
part, it seemed like Hay was handling pretty much everything on
his own--though she had to admit there were a lot more ponies
that showed up than she had been expecting. Many wanting to play
hero, it looked like. She cackled a little bit as she thought
how foolish they were. They had no chance!
Her amusement was cut short when she looked back to Supermare
and noticed the knife in her hoof that she was using to try and
get through her restraints. Acting quickly, Catmare took her
whip and snapped it at the hoof holding the knife before closing
the distance between them. Regardless of whether anything really
happened to the knife, Catmare would do her best to pin
Supermare's front two hooves down and taunt her from there with,
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You rrrrrrrreally shouldn't do that,
Superrrmarrrrre. I tend to get catscrrrratch fever when things
don't go my way~. You know... I neverrr thought it would be this
easy to capturrrrrre the infamous Superrrmarrrrre. I wonderrrr
who that is underrrr this mask..."

Dark Matter gave a start as some... THING from above landed on
him and gave him a jolt. How rude.
Fortunately, this seemed to be the last bit of momentum he
needed to get free of the net. UNfortunately, it seemed to have
alerted the robo-mouseseseses to his location.
He growled as he dispelled the illusion. He couldn't think of
anything witty to use to reply to the cackling madman above, so
he just replied with a shout of "Perhaps you don't know as much
as you think!" He's momentarily distracted by a new bruise on
the back of his own hoof.
He took a glance at the newly-converging horde of devilish
squeeker bots, and happened to see the Catmare rapidly closing
on a seemingly trouble-having Supermare. No doubt she can handle
herself, of course, but... eh, he'll try to help.
Letting loose a heroic battlecry, he took a few steps and hurled
his frying pike mightily over the mouseseseseses towards Catmare
before attempting to charge through said mouseseseseseseses to
reach the mares. Hopefully it doesn't end badly...
