       Re: Blowing Up the Moon for Funsies
       By: Ryo Date: October 12, 2014, 9:48 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Ryo was halfway through the ropes, when suddenly something
       snapped at her hoof holding the knife. The whip sent Supermare's
       knife flying across the room, sinking into one of the mouse
       droid's side. After fully realizing what happened, Ryo began to
       scan the constantly moving droids, trying to spot her knife so
       that she could retrieve it with magic, but her attention snapped
       back to Catmare when the villain had moved close enough to pin
       her still free hooves down on the ground. Ryo gulped audibly
       when the Catmare threatened to remove her mask. She couldn't let
       that happen. Desperately thinking for a way out, a distraction
       was provided by the guard from earlier, who was now howling a
       battlecry of epic proportions, followed by him throwing his more
       or less spear towards Catmare.
       Thinking quickly, Ryo decided to resort to her secret weapon,
       and with her magic searched for the right pouch on her toolbelt.
       Was it second from right, or second from left... Must have been
       second right. Ryo floated out a small capsule, that she then
       hurled towards Catmare's head. When the capsule was on certain
       proximity, it exploded into a pink cloud. Pink... It must have
       been second pouch from left... Still, covered by the pink cloud,
       Ryo used her own magic, to teleport away from under Catmare.
       While her plan was a certain success, Ryo's skills were not. Ryo
       appeared few feet to Catmare's right and few feet above the
       ground, causing her to fall down on her face. Having
       accidentally inhaled some of the pink powder herself, Ryo began
       to sneeze uncontrollably, the powder being grade A sneeze
       powder. Among her sneezes, Ryo managed to ready her hook shot,
       to go after Haywire, for the cannon seemed to be closing it's
       ready-to-fire state. The guard could hopefully handle Catmare.
       After few attempts, Ryo managed to hit a guardrail of some kind
       on the side of the cannon, slightly above where Hay currently
       was, and began to pull herself towards it, and if no obstacles
       were thrown in her way, she lands safely on the side of the
       cannon, once again using the magnets on her boots to attach to
       the cannon's side.

       Oh, great. Just make the potato based toys explode after a 10
       second countdown. That's soooooooooo original. Idaho struggles
       for a second or two before managing to get a hoof free. He then
       throws one of the potato head toys off him, the about-to-explode
       toy landing right in front of Catmare, the kinky cat.
       Idaho then tries to throw a couple more off as the countdown
       reaches 3, hoping that death by explosion is relatively painless
       or, at the very least, makes him look cool.

       Well he'd managed to slow the big mouse droid down, now to deal
       with these annoying clinging potato toys... The mute pegasus
       tries to shake them off for a few more moments when one of them
       suddenly starts talking. Self-destruct? Woodwind begins
       scrambling to get the little devices off of himself, managing to
       toss a couple aside as the count ticks down. He's not able to
       get all of them by the time it hits zero though, and with a
       series of loud *pop*s, the little toys burst, showering him and
       Idaho with... streamers, confetti, and mashed potatoes. Woodwind
       blinks in surprise and looks over at the still trapped farmer.
       Well that was... less dangerous than he'd been expecting. Then
       again, all the other threats so far, aside from Catmare, had
       been pretty silly as well. Probably should have seen something
       like that coming. He looks back over at the large mouse droid, a
       bit closer now but still having to stop and turn around to find
       them, making it's progress slow. He might be able to get Idaho
       out before it reaches them, and after that shouldn't be too hard
       to handle. The pegasus turns and starts trying to disentangle
       Idaho.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A sudden blast of electricity from the machine! The sound of
       lightning tearing through the air! A nearly blinding flash of
       light that made tinted goggles just as practical as they were
       devilishly stylish! And a complete and utter missing of the
       giant cannon's target! Wait... A miss? Must have been a warm up
       shot. Surely, that was intentional, Haywire's sudden cackling
       being evidence of this as the kind of weak blasty blasty of
       power went waaaaaaay off course and harmlessly shot off into the
       expansive black sky above. Mehbe a planet or something somewhere
       will get friggin rocked by the blast eventually, a wonderful and
       plenty evil helping of extra evil slapped onto the plate of this
       most memorable of nights for the evil genius rubbing his hooves
       together on his platform, but for now the actual main event was
       still yet to come though fast approaching.
       "Soon, my dearest little pon pons..." he mumbled to himself,
       cape still blowing in a wind that had no source as he glared at
       the moon above, "soooooonnnnnn........"
       Spinning around and picking up his overly SCIENCE pop gun again
       as he returned his attention to the droid mouse riddled battle
       below, Haywire saw the guard abandon his attempt to reach him in
       order to turn his attacks towards Catmare, Haywire assuming the
       other villain could handle herself even with the current
       onslaught of things being thrown her way just fine but not
       finding it amusing to see that Supermare was headed his way!
       ARGH! Curse that mare and her need to do good! He was too late
       in removing the hookshot's claw from the guard rail it had
       clamped onto in front of him, it being smacked away with the
       butt of his pop gun after she'd already zinged by and magnetized
       to the side of his machine nearer the electrified barrel of his
       cannon.
       "Bubo!" Hay shouted, the bird he'd called for snapping to
       attention beside him while his eye not covered by his eye patch
       started to glow red, "Supermare is trying to cuddle my cannon!
       And she didn't wash her hooves first! Get her grubby grabby
       grabs off my stuff!" bubo gave his master a salute before taking
       off into the air and giving a sharp cry like an especially
       threatening eagle as he sped towards the super hero, his wings
       making a loud shwinging sound as the sharp metal feathers went
       from helping him flap his way above the mare to being pointed
       directly at her as he dove down at her, all the while the sound
       of music being played from his chest to add to his epic charge
       to bring down the supermare threatening his creators anti-moon
       thing.
       Haywire, tossed a look over his shoulder in time to see the
       potato heads explode over the two stallions messing about with
       his super slink, the sight of his supah droid mouse and it's
       jacked up head making him hum for a moment before loading
       another heavier and non shocking bit of ammunition into his pop
       gun, him again taking aim and then pumping the barrel to send
       the shot across the workshop and to the droid mouse below, It
       struck the side o the machine's head, right on it's nose, and
       forced it to turn it's head halfway back around. From there the
       droid was able to do the rest, a loud grinding coming from about
       it's neck area as it struggled to force it's head back to being
       the right way around. After a moment or two it was finally
       righted, it no longer needing to waste it's time with turning
       around over and over and instead being able to go straight for
       the two ponies without pause once again. On top of this, it's
       cymbals began to spin, the two disks of metal now clashing
       together and sending out sparks every time they made contact as
       things started to become especially scurry round the shop!
       Haywire returned his attention to Supermare to see whether or
       not Bubo had succeeded in his diving attack, all the while the
       evil villain wondering what new piece of SCIENCE he could maybe
       shoot around to torment his visitors.

       As she reached a hoof to Supermare's mask so she could see who
       was underneath it, a cry from nearby distracted her for a
       moment. Thinking she had the upper hoof for the moment and that
       she would remain in control of the situation, Catmare risked a
       glance up to see what the commotion was--only to see that
       meddling guard throw his spear at Catmare. Hissing at him,
       Catmare moved to try and pull Supermare in the way of the
       spear--only to get surprised with some strange, pink mist.
       That made her sneeze.
       Even though she'd already moved out of the way of the spear when
       she tried to drag Supermare in its way, she released her hold on
       the mare and stumbled away a little bit as more miserable
       sneezes came one after another from Catmare. Amid these sneezes,
       she heard a countdown--what she knew to be one of the potato
       heads--and after a couple of quick attempts, kicked it away from
       her to avoid whatever nastiness it might provide. Despite her
       action, she was still splattered with a small amount of
       streamers and mashed potatoes, causing her to growl a bit in
       irritation. Getting mashed potatoes all over her shiny suit...
       Finally recovering from the fit of sneezes, Catmare wiped ner
       nose on her sleeve before reaching back to her belt to retrieve
       her return fire. She quickly pulled three small, spherical
       objects from the pouch, only to activate them. Doing so caused a
       stream of some kind of gas to emanate from it, a split second
       before she tossed the orbs to Dark Matter, Windwood, and
       Idaho--one to Dark Matter, and the two to the others. This gas
       was something akin to an anesthetic, though brief exposure
       caused a general numbness, while prolonged exposure drowsiness
       and eventually slumber. Upon doing this, she snapped her whip
       back onto the pipes above and pulled herself up to them so she
       could disappear once more.

       Dark Matter instinctively ducks as the power flashed from the
       machine, his eyes more used to the gentle glow of starlight than
       this tacky bright flash that makes everything an ugly shade of
       white for a moment, accompanied by a rather loud thunderclap
       that is just too much for his poor, sensitive ears. Blinded and
       deafened, he figues he must be dead for a moment when the
       anesthetic gas hits him because he can hardly feel his limbs. In
       a fit of panic, he begins randomly flailing about, right into
       the pack of scurry, vicious droids chasing him.
       He completely fails to notice as his violent flailing allows him
       to dodge all harm from them while not allowing them the same
       privilege, and the entire pack of mouseseseseseseses around him
       is a pile of sparking wreckage littered with silly string,
       confetti, assorted robo-faces, and thirteen pounds of cottage
       cheese before he regains his senses.
       He stands dumbfounded for a moment, wondering what happened to
       the robo-beasts.

       Ryo was confused by the orders given to the small, flying robot
       minion. And what was the talk about not having washed her
       hooves? Ryo took good care of her hooves. They weren't dirty
       or... Dirty. And besides, even if they would have been, she was
       wearing boots, why would- The sharp, eagle like cry, and music
       being played brought Ryo back to the moment, realizing that the
       flying robot was heading towards her with great speed. Reacting
       quickly, Ryo released the magnets and fell down to the platform,
       managing to dodge the incoming attack from the small robot,
       "Bubo" as the villain called it.
       Ryo quickly got up on her hooves, and was ready to confront
       Haywire, but then a sound of flapping wings caught her
       attention. Ryo spun around, only to see Bubo readying for
       another attack, this time not relying on speed, but using it's
       wings as blades. Realizing that she had no gadget for this
       situation, at least nothing she could quickly think of, her
       knife still lost among the mouse droids, Ryo began to back away
       from the shredder moving towards her. While backing away, Ryo
       noticed a quite long, fairly sturdy looking antenna sticking
       from the side of the machine, that was probably attached to the
       cannon. Without thinking of it's possible importance, Ryo ripped
       it of with magic and with her new makeshift sword, confronted
       Bubo.
       They sparred for a good while, but neither one could land hits
       on their opponent, Bubo being quite small and agile, while also
       being somewhat easy to dodge by Ryo, thankfully the antenna was
       durable enough to withstand the wing blades. Ryo dodged to left,
       seeing an opportunity to strike. She thrusted the antenna
       towards Bubo, going for the kill. The antenna hit Bubo right on
       it's chest, but like most antennas do, this one also folded in,
       practically doing nothing to the robot bird. Giving the antenna
       a dumbfounded look, Ryo threw the thing at Bubo, before turning
       away to run. She used her hook shot's wire, quickly attaching it
       to the railing, and using it to swing herself under the
       platform, sticking to the platform with the magnets. She then
       ran to the other end, jumping back up on the other side, where
       she had obstacleless path to Hay. "G-give up... Y-your evil ways
       end h-here...!" Ryo shouted, once again doing her best to sound
       formal and intimidating. "D-drop that w-weapon now...!" Ryo
       failed to realize, that Bubo was still on the same platform, and
       while it was out of her sight at the moment, it was still most
       likely around.

       Idaho was more than a little surprised when he did not, in fact,
       explode in a fiery ball of awesome, but instead was merely
       covered in mashed potatoes and confetti. Probably should have
       seen that coming, considering how all the other traps had merely
       been party favors.
       Idaho then starts to whistle a small, lively tune as Woodwind
       starts to try and free Idaho from his slinky prison of
       imprisonment. As Idaho's hind legs are about to be set free,
       Catmare throws evil spheres of gas at him and Woody. Idaho can't
       really flee from the gas, so he's forced to sit there and
       breathe it in. It made Idaho feel numb and tingly. And tired. So
       very tired... After a minute or two of exposure o the gas, Idaho
       closed his eyes and fell asleep, falling into a peaceful state
       of dreaming.

       Woodwind's progress getting Idaho out of the tangled super slink
       is interrupted by the sudden flash and explosion of the
       lightning cannon firing. For a few moments, Woodwind is stunned
       by the blast. Long enough for to not be able to avoid the
       spheres of knockout gas. Luckily, he regains his senses after
       only inhaling a small amount of the gas, and manages to escape
       the cloud with only a slight numbness to show for it. He quickly
       turns and opens his wings once he's out, and starts using them
       to blow the smoke away from Idaho. He's too late to stop the
       farmer from being knocked unconscious though, and the pegasus
       sighs and takes a look around. Supermare and Catmare had both
       disappeared, and the guard had apparently both avoided the gas
       grenades and disabled a number of the mouse droids. More
       pressingly, the super mouse droid seems to have righted it's
       head and was quickly advancing with it's cymbals now showering
       sparks in all directions as they spun. He won't have time to
       free Idaho now before the mouse droid would reach them, so he'll
       have to deal with it for good first. Out comes the wand again,
       blasting three quick shots at the robot while Woodwind darts to
       the side, attempting to get around the dangerous portion and
       hopefully find a weak spot he could use.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The droid mouses that remained, after getting rocked by a short
       bout of blind flails, started to give the guard a wide berth as
       they instead sought less dangerous prey for the moment, the
       earlier released cheese droids from the super hero in the room
       being a much more enticing target and taking their focus as they
       scurried off to try and capture the elusive treats. A few more
       brave ones did still try to keep to their duty however as they
       bounced into enough walls to redirect themselves in the
       direction of the guard, their having not noticed the previous
       destroying of their brethren causing them to be blind to why the
       others were fleeing as they deployed water pistols on small
       mechanical arms to fire at the stallion on their approach.
       As Idaho fell motionless from the gas grenades, the supah droid
       mouse seemed to lose immediate interest, the threat he provided
       evidently being dismissed due to his apparent pacifying. This
       meant that it's full focus fell upon the only one of the pair to
       remain conscious, and hostile, which the pony proved with his
       firing of those darn wands of his. The blasts struck it in the
       torso and one of it's arms, two of which having been lucky
       enough to throw the rhythm of it's clashing off enough to cause
       them to collide oddly and damage its right arm, its smashing
       soon working against it as it bashed it's limbs together to the
       pint of having it's damaged arm fall to it's side, the still
       spinning cymbal causing a waterfall of sparks as it spun against
       it's chassis for several moments before finally dying out
       entirely. This left the droid with only one functional arm, but
       it soon proved to not be too much of a handicap as it, in
       response to Woodwind's dodge, tilted it's weapon horizontally
       then spun it's entire torso around in a full circle to take a
       swing at him regardless of his position. Before it's body moved
       however, Woodwind may have been able to notice a sticky note on
       the supah droid mouse's back, though of course he would have had
       far too little time to make out what it may have said, if
       anything, as the machine threw out it's offense.
       Haywire sipped a juice box as he watched the duel between
       Supermare and Bubo, him finding it quite entertaining after
       having dismissed the other situations below as being "Under
       control. Enough. Eh." and turning back. After all, Catmare was
       still around there, somewhere, so there was still plenty of EVIL
       to go around that could easily cover up any supposed blind
       spots. And, wouldn't you know it, Supermare was running away!
       Fleeing with her grappling hook when Bubo proved just too darn
       much for her after the antenna she tossed his way bounced
       harmlessly off of his metal body. Or at least that's what Hay
       had though when he saw her leave his sight for a few moments
       only to return on his platform with a challenge to him. He took
       a looooooong sip of his juice, exhaling a satisfied and relaxed
       sigh then tossing the empty box over his shoulder and picking up
       his pop rifle once again.
       "Nuh," was his response, a metallic thud being heard behind
       Supermare as Bubo, never having given up chase, landed on the
       platform. He stood still for a moment, then extended his wings
       again with another sharp *SHWING!* before having the sharp metal
       feathers extend a few inches extra with a second *SHWING* and
       then even further with the most shwingiest *SHWING* yet. A part
       of his breast then separated from his body and extended out from
       him where it slid downwards to allow for several metal arms to
       reach out and end in prototype gun barrels and SCIENCEy looking
       shock ends for zappy zaps. At his shoulders two large launchers
       were produced, both bearing missiles that were nearly as big as
       he was and locked right onto Supermare. All of this extra
       ordinance seemed far too large to have even fit inside of the
       little metal bird, but where there was a will there was the
       madness of SCIENCE to find a way, Haywire proudly cackling like
       a madpony with each additional reveal as he believed Supermare's
       chances decreased exponentially each time.
       Also, a flashing red light extended out from the top of Bubo's
       head, his pirate hat still managing to stay atop it, while a
       siren going "WOOWOOWOOWOO!" played its cold metaphorical heart
       out.
       "TWEET TWEET!" a deep and robotic voice sounded from the same
       speakers Bubo had earlier played music with, his one vsible eye
       still glowing red as he stared down the super hero threatening
       his creator. He continued to stare... and continued to stare...
       Then fell forward, him becoming propped up by his weapons as the
       rest of him locked up.
       Hay looked at Bubo, then to Supermare, then back to Bubo and so
       on for several seconds before then suddenly leveling his pop
       rifle and firing off a canister that exploded half way through
       it's trajectory, it then splattering a blue adhesive goo all
       over the super hero to keep her stuck long enough for him to
       spin around, smash and destroy the control panel of his machine
       with the butt of his rifle to prevent tampering, then scurry on
       over towards the base of his cannon that his platform was next
       to, him swatting a button which then caused a section of the
       machine to lift up and reveal an entrance that Hay wasted no
       time in entering, the door sliding shut behind him with a clink.
       "TWE-E-E-E-EET TW-E-EE-E-EEET!" Bubo sounded again as he slowly
       started to end his lock up and regain control of himself.
