[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger rasps, "Has anyone got a few hundred gallons of butter, by chance

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger rasps, "Has anyone got a few hundred gallons of butter, by chance? There's this huge crab here..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man then growls. "Speaking of Q--"

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "...CRAB."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "...WHERE?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Well I hate Pharaoh Man. I'd put a bounty on his head if we didn't need him for some purpose or other."

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "Rigger... Do not taunt the Happy Fun Crab."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "...KILL IT."

[Radio: (F) Public] Scribe Robin transmits, "Oh dear. Are those stardroids going insane again?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "....this shall not end well."

[Radio: (F) Public] Dr. Thomas Light transmits, "Not to worry, he has to go through me as well to harm her."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Get the tartar sauce and lemon juice!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "*bleep* the happy fun crab, you do not mess with a woman that has PMS as bad as I do right now."

[Radio: (F) Public] Pharaoh Man growls.

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "...kill it, kill it... I want a piece of it... GRRRAAAH!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Harm her! Harm her good! And harm the old man! I'll give you $50!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "That 'Happy Fun Crab' wrecked one of our medical centers."

[Radio: (F) Public] Cancer transmits, "...I think I shall leave the dear miss Rigger alone. I hear a bird calling me..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "GRAAAAAAAAH!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "... Interesting."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "I'LL KILL YOU!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "...PMS? *long pause* Congratulations, Rigger. *another long pause* I think?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Alas, poor Tengu Man. I never cared to know him well, and now he's going to be beaten until he looks like..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "SHUT THE F*** UP, PHARAOH."

[Radio: (F) Public] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Hahahaha. Oh, dear, Rigger, you must get that girl some education. So naive."

[Radio: (F) Public] Dr. Thomas Light transmits, "Cancer, you're welcome to visit. But don't threaten my children."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "I didn't know birds could call out to you. Unless your name is twit."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "...Education..?"

Training Room - Skull Fortress

This majority of this room when inactive is nothing but a giant black box with an overlaid shimmering green wire grid, dotted with holographic projection orbs at regular intervals on the ceiling, and a control panel for programming simulations. The only other feature is a shielded viewing balcony above the entrance, where one can watch without fear of stray fire. When turned on, however, the holographic generators can create any scene imaginable, even modifying the laws of physics at will. Thanks to the technology of simulated damage, Masters can use this room for combat training as much as they wish, and no medical drones are necessary.

Watcher Holographic Terminal <HT>

Reinforced Doors <S>: Common Room - Skull Fortress

Flames arc across everywhere here, culminating in a small island in the middle of a raging waterfall of burning waters. The heat is sweltering, even for a hologram, and flames occasionally arc across the arena. The island's surface is rough and solid, like sandpaper almost, and perfectly circular, as if carved and set into the burning lake. Thus the devil may cry, for these are his tears.

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man has apparently regained his composure...sorta. "HEY! TARABAGANI! <Crab!>"

Cancer has arrived.

[Radio: (F) Public] Cancer transmits, "I am here. o.o"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Amun-Wily, if I may say, I've always thought Tengu Man could be easily made into a rather attractive weather vane..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger utters almost breathlessly, "He's coming, Tengu."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Twit twit?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "...LET HIM COME."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Mister Crab, please don't hurt Tengu Man."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Pharaoh Man transmits, "If there is to be that much left of him."

[Radio: (F) Public] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Does he have a death wish?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man is breathing raggedly, "...you're NEXT, Ra..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "AAAAAARGH!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Mister Crab. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Pharaoh Man chuckles.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "One, two, or *chomp* three?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Theta Squad CO Sword Man transmits, "Do you require assistance, Sir Tengu?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Scribe Robin transmits, "Ah, Alpha... such a sweet innocent girl. The world would be a much more peaceful place if more people were like her."

Amidst the fire and heat that is the arena stands Tengu Man. Or, more accurately, fights Tengu Man. He stages a battle against enemies that aren't there, each strike more vicious than the last. He is PISSED. So pissed... A rage is coming over him, a frightening, berserk rage...

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "If people were like her we wouldn't accomplish much."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man growls, "He isn't HERE yet..."

There is a flash of red light... then a voice of death speaks. "As in world's own words... DO. NOT. PISSED. OFF. HAPPY. FUN. CRAB." Cancer is here.

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "Ah!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger mutters, "Remarkably innocent in light of her creation, so those of you who keep telling me she's dumb, can stuff it."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "That's true, Guts Man, I don't accomplish much at all."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "She's dumber than a chicken."

[Radio: (F) Public] Scribe Robin transmits, "I did not mean to be offensive."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Theta Squad CO Sword Man transmits, "Perhaps, but 'tis better to make the offer known now rather than take the chance that you may not be able to ask for it should it be necessary."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "I told you, he isn't--"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Maybe."

Tengu Man almost jumps out of his skin as the red light overcomes the scene before him. He called for the crab, and the crab came. How delightful! Body heaving (as if he has to breathe) he searches out the voice... seeks its owner. "TARABAGANI! WHERE ARE YOUUUU?" he roars, eyes blanching from their normal dark blue...

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "There's no doubt about it."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I haven't talked to any chickens, so I don't know."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "What about turkeys?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Dr. Thomas Light transmits, "Hello, Guts. It's nice to hear from you again."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I ... avoided Thanksgiving."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Pops #1."

Cancer steps forth through the fires to stand about ten metres away from Tengu. "As I have said, I am here."

[Radio: (F) Public] Dr. Thomas Light transmits, "It's okay, Alpha. I'm sure Necro and Angie appreciate it."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Turkey tastes great. Especially with the whole fixings."

[Radio: (F) Public] Elec Man transmits, "Blah, turkey. Give me a hearty shank of lamb anyday."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "It's just too bad that turkeys are so small. Wouldn't it be great if they cooked ostriches instead? Now that would be a feast!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Elec Man transmits, "Mmm, ostrich omelettes!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Elec Man transmits, "I bet I can eat half of one all by myself!"

The look in his eyes could almost be frightening. Almost, if the object of it were not a Stardroid... Tengu's cobalt eyes are blanching, paling with each breath he takes... slowly he is reverting back to the Akuma. Sai-Tengu barely had any grasp on the control of Tengu already, but this makes it much, much worse. Akuma-Tengu is here...and he is *NOT* happy.

"You are here. You follow your word. How /nice/," snarls Tengu. "What of it, Stardroid?" His hands clench into fists, balling up tightly... he is ready for a fight. Of course, two points bear mentioning: Point the first: he'd probably be wiped out and Point the second: he's in the training room. Hmmm...unless Stardroids can override it, in which case he's screwed.

Cancer points at the hologrpahic projector and fires a beam of energy... disabling the 'safety' of the training room. "There shall be no saving for you... with the exception of being in your home."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "I'll take you up on that offer Elec!"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "*click*"

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "Such riveting conversation."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man transmits, "*click*"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Hi Zero."

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "Hi, Aly."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Zero what's up? We haven't heard much of you in the past few months."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Alpha XO Elec Man transmits, "Hey, why'd Tengu click off?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "I've been takin' it easy lately."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "I duct taped him to a repair chamber for a month."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "What about Iris? She's been easy too lately?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Duct tape? That sounds extreme."

Tengu's gaze follows the beam...well. That just leaves Point the First. Meaning... well, he'd rather not think about it. That and the rage is taking over. It's rather odd, this rage -- it was not something he was programmed with, strictly speaking. It just seems to...happen. Perhaps a side-effect of his "going insane". Maybe he's just *that* pissed off... "F**k you, tarabagani. Come on already," he snarls with utter rage in his voice and in his eyes. Which, by the way, are steadily fading to white...

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "Only when it got tangled in his hair."

[Radio: (F) Public] Tengu Man OOCly snerks.

To note, there is no change in Cancer's attitude... he merely strides forth... to halt before Tengu. "So eager for Death, aren't you? You would be the perfect... avatar... for me. So... let's put an little bet on this... shall we? You win, and I will tell you and your... family... all that I know. You lose... and you become my puppet. What do you say?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Well nuts. I had hoped to travel to Europe..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Women don't shave their pits in Europe."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "My journey has little to do with women. ..although they would make a nice addition.."

Tengu merely keeps his gaze locked on Cancer. "I have little to live for, tarabagani..." His words are firm, and...surprisingly, true. He seems rather eager to get the fight going. His rage is building, building ever so fast, he's got to kill something NOW or lose it all to the depths of his mind... "Enough talk. I agree!" He seems stable for a moment more, then... everything falls apart. "AAAAAAARGH! COME ON, STARDROID!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, that not be all they not be shavin'."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "For mechanoids you guys have got some pretty dirty minds."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Why am I not surprised by the poor quality of conversation on this frequency..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Is it a journey for Swiss chocolate?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Scribe Robin transmits, "Why is ice cold?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, for a pirate, I be havin' a clean one, yea land-lubbin' pansy."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Hey it's not my fault I got to read dad's hentai collection one day."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "No. It sounds nonsensical and likely you'll find dire amusement in that, Guts Man, but I travel to discover myself."

You deactivate your radio.

Cancer nods... "Very Well..." is all the crab intones... as he raises his right claw high... before bring it down... in a clubbing like motion.

Cancer strikes you with a solid hit from his Club for 12 units of damage.

Tengu remains standing still, unable to move fast enough to dodge the Stardroid's attack. The claw comes down hard on his shoulder-plate, cracking it. It's a loud, evident crack, too, and it runs the width of the armor. Oops. Tengu doesn't even flinch...his rage is complete. His eyes are an immaculate white now, clear of the blue irises and black pupils normally present. The Akuma is here, and everywhere...

Tengu lurches into motion, lunging for Cancer's midsection and plying his jets. He hopes to knock the Stardroid down, which probably isn't gonna happen, but... Hey. No harm trying.

You strike Cancer with a glancing hit from your Ram attack.

You rebound off of Cancer, taking 4 units of damage.

Tengu does ram into the crab, and he does knock the crab to the side... but knock the crab down? Hardly. He blinks at Tengu. "That wasn't a ram." He then blurrs towards Tengu.

"THIS is a RAM."

Cancer strikes you with a major hit from his Ram for 20 units of damage.

You'd've thought Tengu had learned that lesson the first time, especially since he was forced to learn it the hard way. He is rammed into again, and this time very hard... The inner workings of his torso begin to collapse...owowowow. It's rather a repeat of when Mac divebombed Tengu. It really wasn't that bad a hit -- it's the inner hemorrhaging that results from it. Mechfluid begins to seep from his servos into the main casing of his torso. Not good, essentially.

Tengu shrieks with pain as the crab hits him hard... Pain just makes him fight harder. So he fights. The dual Tengu Blades come into being, replacing his hands... Taking to the air, the Master begins shunting energy away from his engines to his Tengu Blades. "Shi'NE, TARABAGANI!" With a shriek of anger and pain he slashes downward at the Crab below him, the energy patterns of the blades separating from the real things.

"TENGUUUUU BLAAAAAAAADE!"

You miss Cancer with your Tengu Blade attack.

You activate your radio.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I don't know why some people dislike Landon, but I dislike him because he tried to hurt Kali. Now, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "It depends on the friction of your tongue and the amount of sliva or other solvent you use."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "There's really no answer to that question, Alpha. Everyone licks at a different rate of speed so you just have to count yourself."

[Radio: (F) Public] Pharaoh Man transmits, "42, according to a study performed by Guts Man, I believe."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Oh...I thought it was three..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Wire Wolf transmits, "Let us find out."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "Just due to the comercials."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "42 is alot when you don't have a tongue."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Yes."

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "That's just how many Old Owl took before biting it."

Cancer blinks... then... blurrs as the energy patterns of the blade... strikes the ground. He stops moving... he considers blasting him with the Astral Cannon... but reconsiders... as he needs his 'Avatar' Complete... so he blurrs once more. And stops before Tengu... and proceeds to land a uppercut.

...Or try to.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "He...cheated?"

Cancer strikes you with a glancing hit from his Punch for 4 units of damage.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Oh."

[Radio: (F) Public] Rigger transmits, "It was meant to be humorous, Alpha."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Oh, I have a bad sense of humor."

[Radio: (F) Public] Wire Wolf *rustlerustle* "... One." *slurp* "Two..." *Slick* "Three." *lick* "Four." *~CRUNCH~* "...The answer is four.

You deactivate your radio.

The punch connects harshly with the WilyDemon's 'chin', as it were. It's almost like he got clotheslined -- he reels backward, momentarily stunned. His blades remain extended, though he goes flying back from the force of Cancer's uppercut. "AGH!" he spits, and on instinct he begins to charge more energy in the blades. Not for a Tengu Blade this time, oh no...it's energy of a different sort.

Tengu's jets fire as he attempts to reorient himself. He manages to do so with little difficulty. Not the first time he's been punched. Tengu draws a bead on Cancer, pulling his arms back... then he thrusts outward a la Dragonball Z, except sans hands. He's got blades instead. A wide bolt of electricity shoots out toward the Crab Stardroid, as Tengu attempts to fry up some of his player's Home Cookin': Electricue.

You strike Cancer with a glancing hit from your Lightning Bolt attack.

You activate your radio.

[Radio: (F) Public] Pharaoh Man transmits, "He had an odd way of showing it."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "...he was a horrible man, wasn't he. Maybe I was one of his experiments...that may be why I remember Procyon..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "What is your name, Mister?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "The only name I remember is Eidolon."

[Radio: (F) Public] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "He was his own test subject as well. He released several papers on the long term effects of being a complete conversion cyborg."

[Radio: (F) Public] Dr. Cossack transmits, "A horrible, twisted man. But you arr free of him now, if you vere vun of his victims."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "I do not feel like a victim. I feel light, yet, a shadow drags behind me lately, and I can hear Procyon's words echoing through my mind like a dirge."

[Radio: (F) Public] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Some of his experiments with animals would turn my stomach... if I had one, that is."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "If you don't want that one, you can change it. ... If you were made by him, I guess it's good you don't have to know him. Maybe you can do some good things to make up for the bad he has done. Whatever good is. Assuming you want to. You might not. Do whatever you wish, Eidolon. ... What did he say?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Gemini Man transmits, "Man, you and Alpha should get together, smoke the weed, and space out on how little you know about the world."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Did you know that in some cultures cannibalism is accepted?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I don't care a lot about the world, people worry too much about it."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "No, I didn't, thank you."

Cancer gets electrocuted. Heck... the armor still has electricity flowing all around it. But this does not stop the Crab... He rolls forth... towards Tengu in a half circle...

...And as he gets to Tengu, he jumps up, ready to land a axe-like smash on Tengu with his claws...

"ROLLING SMASH!!!"

Game. Set. Match.

Cancer strikes you with a devastating hit from his Rolling Smash for 34 units of damage.

You fall to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage.

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Did you know that a swallow can carry a coconut to Camelot?"

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "*click* *pre-recorded message begins* Unit DWN 0-5-7, callsign Holden, has been disabled. Over and out. *click*"

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "African or European?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "No. I didn't. Thank you again."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Canadian."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Procyon said, "Because there must always be one. There must. Where Duo came to judge, now something else comes. Nigh is arriving. Nigh will not be so lenient as Duo." It is all I remember him saying."

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "... The Nigh... I wonder what Nigh wants?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "The Matrix?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Mayhaps it wants thy underwear?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "*pauses* I don't know why I just said that... weird."

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "I don't wear underwear. I'm a robot."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "Because Neo compells you to say such things?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Gizmo Glider transmits, " Freeeeak..."

It is all that is required. The WilyDemon is, ultimately, "human". He will fail, because, ultimately, he is doomed to failure. Each day is a hardship. He cannot spend five minutes alone, just thinking to himself, without nearly losing his sanity.

Perhaps that is why he welcomes Death. Does he fear it, then? Oh, yes...but still, Death is coming for him, and he embraces it.

The Rolling Smash strikes Tengu in the chest, cracking the armor there. Mechfluid splatters, and the worst part...it's not holographic...it's all real... Tengu is utterly dispatched, and if it were any worse he might've E-ringed. With a shriek of pain Tengu falls to the floor...Death, evidently, has done its work.

[Radio: (F) Public] Zero transmits, "I was thinking more, Orson Wells"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "...Lets talk sometime, Eidolon. I'll get you ice cream."

[Radio: (F) Public] Guts Man transmits, "I remember Orson Wells. Sweel fellow, wrote a book about a living house."

[Radio: (F) Public] Wire Wolf transmits, "Want is reletive, sir. For what the stream wants is only to travel endlessly to the sea. The tree wants only to grow tall and strong, as a spire into the sky, a bastion of power and vigilance. The very wind wishes only to travel from place to place. What Nigh wants, my friends, is what Nigh wishes to do. And what he wishes to do... well... We shall see."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "I wonder about Duo and Nigh, I have since the night at Easter Island when I heard Procyon speak and it sparked my memory. Perhaps Nigh has the secrets to my memor...OOO Ice cream!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "I've always been partial to chocolate myself. With those little thingies...what are they called? Jimmies?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I ... don't know. I liked the ... whitey-ish one."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Its like a little rainbow on your ice cream cone!"

[Radio: (F) Public] Prismatic Spider transmits, "Sprinkles?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "That sounds neat."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I like rainbow.s"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Bright and colorful, the scents and the colors filling the air and helping you feel all happy. Ice cream should make you happy."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Tengu Man transmits, "*click* *pre-recorded message follows* Repeat: DWN 0-5-7, *skitz* callsign Hold--*skitz* disabled. Over and out. *skitz* *click*"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Coffee ice cream is good... Hrm, maybe coffee ice cream with a little whisky. I don't think I've gotten loaded in a while..."

[Radio: (A) Disney-Masters] Theta Squad CO Sword Man transmits, "....blast. Tengu Man."

But Death will not come for Tengu today. "I have won. And per our agreement... you're now mine." Energies flows out of Cancer and is directed towards Tengu... and is reviving him... and is changing him... as Tengu's primary body color becomes Red... with the secondary.... Blue. Cancer smiles, and whispers lightly...

"Arise... My Avatar."

Cancer effects some repair work on Tengu Man.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I...Yes. Ice cream. ... I hope you aren't too lonely, Eidolon. Can I talk to you tommorow or maybe later today?"

Cancer takes out a medical scanner and scans Tengu Man.

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "I can't promise any answers to your questions, but maybe we can have some...fun...or something?"

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Tomorrow possibly..."

[Radio: (F) Public] Eidolon transmits, "Fun is always welcome."

[Radio: (F) Public] Alpha transmits, "Thank you."

[Radio: (F) Public] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "You know... I really like Icekin Robbin's Mint Icecream."

The healing energy of the Stardroid flows through Tengu's prone form, fixing where he's broken, patching leaks, righting wrongs... he is complete, he is whole once again... However, the one thing Cancer cannot fix is Tengu's mind. His programming is utterly corrupted, and apparently the only one who can fix that is Wily. He is still unstable, and the dominant personality now is the Akuma. The Demon Within.

Slowly, Tengu rises, eyes still immaculate white. His colors have changed to those of the Stardroid Cancer, who Tengu turns to face now. He faces him with a smile...an eery smile... Tengu says nothing, merely looks toward Cancer.

Cancer smiles right back, "You're free to go, Avatar. But do this one thing... Find the one among your former brothers... The one who claimed that he is Castor and Pollux... the ones I've consumed... and bring him to me. I seek to 'correct' his errors." Cancer cackles evilly...

...as he vanishes.

Akuma-Tengu, Avatar of Cancer, stands ready, fists at his sides, listening to the orders from his new master, so to speak. He has lost, and this is his reward. "Hai, Kansaa-sama," he says in response, adding a nod. The smile is still there, and as if by magic, his eyes return to normal. It is a look some are familiar with. Akuma is out for blood. He grins fiendishly as Cancer disappears... he has his assignment.

Cancer has left.

Title: Cancer's Visit

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heeeeelloooo, brothers...and sisters... I bring a message from a friend." A grin shows in Tengu's eyes...vicious, and very malicious. "A friend named 'Cancer'."

"We decided to have a little... 'talk'. Eheh. So here you go, folks." Tengu then GLARES into the camera. "Gemini. I need to...talk to you...personally. You hear?"

"That's all. Thanks," he says with a wicked grin.

<Blip! Theta Spinny. Not even a Wily Spinny. Tch.>

OOC: So I'm now Cancer's avatar. OOCly, we have more information: Cancer absorbed Castor and Pollux. I'm the only one who knows ICly, though so... you're not gonna get it outta me, coppa. ;) Cancer wants me to get Gemini and bring him back. So. That's about it. Cheerio! o/`
