Although he had a few idea's himself about what games they could play he was surprised when no one answered right away at what they wanted to do here in this side of the islands entertainment complex. After all their were plenty of games to choose from but as Jericho so nicely placed all the choice on Maruki he was a tad confused by this, maybe Maruki had a point and Jericho had been replaced by someone else. Though he acted like him still, no reason to doubt he was any different, luckily he at least didn't try to attack the prize holder for a stuffed animal as soon as they got in here. Either way he would smile and even laugh a bit at her mention of this, and just shake his head to the comment.

"Never know, I could be a robot, but I know when and how to have fun. I just enjoy finding out more about why we are even here is all, though that's only part of why were here, the first part is to avoid rowe rowe, second is to have fun, 3rd is to possibly find out why the massive mech thing was built and if they are related to red queen." The last objective was his own secret one, he'd be investigating that on his free time, but not right now, he had enough fun before all this with the seaking, right now he was just focused on a more tame method of enjoyment. "You have a point, Jericho dose seem like he was switched with some aliens an are trying to contact his home planet of face huggers to take over our bodies haha." Joking of course he would glance over to the games she pointed out, however all of them seemed to give Maruki a very unfair advantage. Case in point she out armed them 4:1, so If they made a competition out of it they would lose hands down, or so she might win as he could also make clay arms to increase his chances.

Mean while as Xavier was agreeing to playing one of the games Maruki suggested the cage traveling down the red light district would soon come to a stop as it passed by many buildings and paused in front of an old hotel room. Getting off the horse drawn cart were two men as they easily lifted the cage and place it down onto the side walk as out of the hotel building a man with greay hair, wearing a white coat and brown shoes would come up to them. He was short, around 5'4", and seemed to be older than the typical middle aged man as he smiled and directed them to take the cage up into his room. As they placed it down he tipped them both before they left as he uncovered what was inside of it, inside of the cage was a device, it wasn't too large but it looked like a satellite dish and took up some space.

"Good, now to start calibrarting the machine, however I'll need to get this closer to my goal. While they are distracted I can get the true device I need." The man seemed to scheme as he picked up the device and placed it into a large backpack with the dish part of it sticking out, sending out a weak signal. Back to Xavier he was shuffling his coins as he began to head over to the skeeball game, placing his hat down on the side ramp of it as he knew this would be pretty uneven but placed some ground rules. "Okay, skeeballs first, since Maruki has multiple arms who's in favor of handicapping her say aye." He was joking but at the same time he knew she dominated peoples souls at these kinds of games.

Looking around the rest of the game room seemed to be pretty lively, kids playing while some getting ready to leave with prizes in hand, it was late at night now and he could guess the kids would be leaving soon enough. However only a few were around, some didn't even seem to look like they were with their parents, but it wasn't in his position to really tell a kid to go home if they weren't related to him or if it wasn't is business. But he was more so happy about just being able to play games with his friends as he placed a few coins into the skeeball game, not yet pressing the large yellow start button but instead waiting for everyone to start at the same time.

But as he was about to start his den den mushi began to emit a bit of static, this would be the same for a lot of area's around the arcade part of the island. Though it was as easy as just pressing the off button on the side of its shell he found it a tad weird that it would act out like that, maybe it was just all the local electronics reacting to the games and the amount of power they took up. Who know, but for him he knew that he was going to aim for the highest score so he could get the most tickets. "Alright, we all can start at the same time, see who gets the most points." He smiled as he pressed the button, the multiple balls soon dropping as he would reach for one, getting ready to try and drop it into the best point hole.

Xavier's coordination when rolling them along the path was actually fairly good, and only seemed to increase as his accuracy tightened. But instead of using his logia powers he was using something else, in the middle of rolling his balls down the ramp a ghostly white aura surrounded him and made his actions seemed more fluid and strong. Hitting the higher point area's with ease as even some kids looked at Xavier while passing by wondering what was going on with him, he was racking up a large number of points and seemed to be channeling some latent power to make him even able to toss balls into each hole with out stopping or with out a moment of panic. Although Xavier knew what he was doing this probably was the first time he was using this technique on a game no less.

"Hey! That seaking had it coming! Besides, I didn't see you complaining." He'd say, the latter part of that sentence being an obvious lie. If anything, Maruki was probably going ballistic when she found he was trying to fight a friggin' seaking! Xavier's situation was...better? Anyhow, that didn't matter so much as Maruki picking a game for the trio to play.

Skee-ball. Uh, sure, that name wasn't terrible or anything. But the good thing was that he had played this game before, only, there was a certain 'twist' on how he played. Normally, you'd roll your balls in the holes to get points, but with him there was no rolling.

Xavier's question about whether or not Maruki should be handicapped for having more than two arms was noted. Not accepted, but noted. "Nah, let her keep her arms." He said. "Doesn't help her in the slightest, since I'm gonna be the one who wins!"

Before stepping up to the plate he decided that it would be best for him to stretch. Gotta stay lean and mean for these types of games, especially when you were competing to win instead of trying to see how many trick shots you could net in a single sitting. First off was the arms, because duh. Second came the calfs, then the quads, then the glutes...then wrists, which was finally topped off by some squats. Yes, this was apparently all necessary in order to play a simple game of skee-ball.

Once everyone was ready he put his coin in the slot, pressed the button and snatched up one of the balls. Now, normally there would be a glass casing just in case you rolled it too hard and the ball ended up flying off somewhere, but these didn't. Which, unfrotunately enough, meant that Jericho could play how he wanted to. Not by rolling the ball, oh no, he was intent on throwing the ball into the hole as hard and lethal as possible. Why? Because it was the only way to play.

While Xavier looked like he was gonna transform into a butterfly or something anytime soon, Jericho looked like he was gonna turn into a tomato with how red he was getting. It was a fastball after fastball with him, and after about twenty throws, it was safe to say, he had only netted four points.

Four. As in, four exactly. His only points came from throwing the balls into the easiest hole...and even then he wasn't doing that well.

Oh well, at least he tried, right?

"Oi oi oi no handicapping the octopi Wha~~ you guys have your own advantages and I think we all know you are gonna use them Wha~~" she said at the little joke to handicap her, and she got ready to game with them, Though she heard the static from Xavier's Den den, and her own was doing the same so she raised an eyebrow for a moment and then clicked it off for the moment, it wasn't like she needed it anyway, the other two were right next to her after all, though she would have to see what was causing the static later, After all even with all the things around there shouldn't be anything causing static like this, more then likely there was an issue with the power or something, but her mind wanted to find out what it was. But she shook that thought away since she did come here to play games and relax after all.

Maruki watched the other two they had different approaches alright, Xavier was giving his all to focus on things around him and on the game, while Jericho seemed to be trying to beat the game into submission, she raised an eyebrow at the two. She guessed it was okay since they seemed to be enjoying themselves, as for her she popped her token in and then she got ready, looking at the construction of the game her eyes scanned the surface of the ramp and she smiled a bit as she realized that it had a slight lean to it, running her hand along the ramp near her she could barely feel the lean, but her trained hand was able to find it, she could also easily tell how it would run along the whole ramp, and it seemed the ramps turn up, would mess with the lean to make it harder to get an accurate throw, however there was one point, a sweet spot, that seemed would put the ball in the high rank hole each time.

With this info Maruki picked up the balls and started to roll them down the ramp, her first few were a bit to hard and they ended up in the lower score, but after the first few each and every ball was landing in the highest scoring hole each and every time, with barely touching the sides of the hole and she only giggled a bit as she continued to rack up the points and tickets "you guys wanna try two on one air hockey later Wha~~?" she asked as she continued to rake in the tickets. Though as she thought about it she wasn't exactly sure what it was she was going to be cashing in all the tickets in for, she had forgotten to look at the prize wall to see what there was on offer, but at least she was getting lots of tickets to trade in so in theory she could get her pick of the prizes.

Although Xavier was trying very hard to keep up with at least Maruki, he knew he probably couldn't as she didn't miss not one of her balls into the big numbered hole. Even as he tried his best to cheat, as even she was doing, and Jericho to a degree might just need some kind of leg up on this game he was happy to see that she was actually winning. It would mean when he got what he wanted she'd feel even better about it, not for what he expected but in a way what she thought was her own little victory. The timer on the clocks for the games began to wind down slowly, entering the last ten or so seconds of the game before a loud buzzer would be rang.

Pumping out tickets for everyone unfortunately for Jericho he'd get only one ticket for his very low score, while Xavier would get the second most amount of tickets and finally Maruki would get the maximum amount of tickets you could even get for this game. Which to Xavier's distaste he felt like he should have tried hard, maybe even used another technique of his to cheat even harder for what he wanted but he was fine with this amount. The white cloak of his aura would soon vanish as the game ended and a pout would spread across his face, "Guess I should have cheated a bit harder, oh well. Good game guys, and no way, even two verses one seems a tad unfair" Especially since she could literally have 6 pucks compared to there four, which he wasn't as good at using multiple arms to focus on so they still lose.

"But I guess a round or two wouldn't hurt, besides I'm close to getting the prize I wanted. Oh uh Jericho, are you alright? You look like your about to blow up with how red you turned, don't turn into a tomato on us before we even get to the next game haha." He smiled as he took the rolls of tickets and placed them into his bag, this was already turning out pretty fun and he was even glad they came at such a nice time. A time no one would judge nearly adult people playing games when there were kids around, granted not many kids were around at this moment but that didn't change much for him. It was as he looked over at the puck table that things began to act very odd around them, the games seemed to be buzzing in a manner that seemed like it was some feature that messed up inside of each of them.

Then darkness, the entire arcade and many of the parks lights had cut off for a moment as Xavier looked around, he couldn't see anything in the pitch blackness of it all but suddenly as the lights came back on again. The familiar sound of a generator kicking in as the games lights came back to life as Xavier scratched his head at what just happened. "Whoa didn't expect this place to get a power outage, though I guess with all these lights it might be a common thing. Hey Maruki, you think anything is up with the power around this palce ot cause that? I normally don't get static or anything on the den den's unless we hit a dead zone, and for one to be here I find it kind of weird." Of course he thought it was just maybe a weather problem, like the signal for this place was maybe on the fritz, nothing more and nothing that required him to do much which is why he turned to Maruki.

However everything was a tad off as even the kids seemed to be wondering what was wrong, their parents doing the same as they talked to the mangers about the power. They didn't' seem to know what could cause the power to go out around the entire park and so far everyone was thinking it was just a simple little power outage that shouldn't be taken seriously. Little did everyone know the man with the satellite dish on his back was causing interference, finally having reached the island's game section he'd begin to search out his chosen components for what he wanted. First coming to what looked like a robotic bunny he'd go behind it as everyone seemed to be distracted with the power going out and begin to rewire it, placing in a simple chip to its power board as he'd use a controller to allow it to move around. The pink and white bunny would soon move on its own as it began to hop now, moving behind the man as he made his way to another thing he planned on acquiring.

The device on his back working as a anti-feed back device, able to scramble and control electronics that were made especially for the park. However what eh didn't plan on was someone to stop his possible plans that he was beginning to put into action as he made his way towards the large Farris wheel, intent on getting his signal out to do more than simply turn out the lights. Mean while Xavier was making his way to the table as it was finally clear of kids, he wouldn't let a simple power outage ruin his fun but he also asked, "You guys wana still play or wait and not waist our tokens just incase another one happens?" Though he didn't like waisting anything this kinda fit into that boat of what he didn't wish to waist but something still bugged him about all this as he noticed one of the animatronics inside of the arcade leave the building. Wait, wasn't that just a robot? Why was it moving on its own and not playing show tunes for the kids?

"Guess the animatronics' are on break or something, anyways prepare to get schooled Maruki, you might have an advantage but if there is only four pucks its even~" He declared as he knew very well she wanted to use multiple pucks but he knew the game didn't have that many pucks, unless she asked the staff and they gave her like 4 more to use then they would be boned.

Once all was said and done, and the game had been finished, Jericho quickly awaited the large sum of tickets he was no doubt about to receive. That is, until he watch as a meager one ticket popped out, in such a way as to make it seem as though it was one of the most uncool things ever. Just one ticket...what in the world was he supposed to buy with one ticket!?

Unless...

Unless this was a super important one-of-a-kind ticket! Yes, that had to be it. There was no way he could only get one ticket out of all that hard work that he put in. This ticket must have been a special one, maybe it equaled one-hundred tickets, or maybe even more! The look on his face was priceless; his eyes were shining while he grinned from ear to ear. Even when the lights went out, his eyes would not dim. Not for a blackout, not for anyone!

"I have achieved the ultimate ticket!" He shouted, still in the dark. Once the lights came back on he slowly made his way over to Xavier and pat him on the shoulder. "Ooh, nice ticket gain. But guess what? ALL FOR NAUGHT!" He shouted. He then turned his attention onto Maruki, an innocent smile on his face. "And you! You won, fair and square...or DID YOU!? I have, in my possession, the ticket of tickets! Which I guess means that I win, huh?"

Cue a happy dance.

"I win! Me! I won, and you two LOST! I am the ultimate warrior! The king of the mountain!~" He'd sing. Oh, this was a grand victory. He couldn't wait to cash the ticket in for the best prizes. He wondered what it would be he'd get himself. Maybe some large stuffed animal? Sure, that could work. Or, maybe he could be all humble and get everyone something? That could work too. But then, a spark of creativity/insanity struck him. He knew what to get, and it would be great!

"And with this, I shall acquire seaking bait! We'll find that sucker and cook it 'til it tastes like its' mother looks!"

Maruki giggled as the time elapsed and she was basically buried up to her neck in tickets and she only stood there with a bit smile on her face for a moment, even with Jericho acting like a total dork, but in a funny way, And Xavier made a few funny comments about him turning into a tomato and how that two on one would still be unfair to the two boys and Maruki only giggled more "Hey now we are just having fun after all no need to say someone is wining or now Wha~~...Though I would totally beat you two at air hockey Wha~~" she said with a giggle as she stood there in her pile of ticket and she started to collect them contemplating on what to get with them, she never really gave the prize counter a good look over, but she thought she remembered a few interesting things that would be fun to grab, but if they where cheap enough maybe she could get one for each of them? after all this was all really for some fun and relaxation while the log pose reset.

Then the lights went out then back on and the little octopi raised an eyebrow. That incident was very very odd in the fact that it happened at all, one would think that an Island like this would have a rather good hold on it's energy needs, after all with everything that drew an income relying on it one would think that the infrastructure of the islands electrical system was one thing that wasn't ignored or allowed to fall into disrepair, so when Xavier asked her about it and the Den den's she thought on it a bit, "Nothing should be messing with the Den Den's here Wha~~...even a lot of energy being used shouldn't mess with them that much Wha~...unless they are picking up a signal, but it would have to be rather strong for our den den to just pick them up Wha~~~...maybe a localized field Wha~?....but to cause the power to go out to....Wha~~~~" Maruki looked rather puzzled as she looked around, there had to be a reason for it as it seemed the staff was even a bit puzzled meaning it wasn't a normal occurrence .

With really only one option left she let out an annoyed sigh and really hoped she was wrong "Unless something or someone is messing with the power and someone else is making a strong signal...like a jammer or something Wha~~ which means something might be going on here...or multipul things Wha~~ which means there might be trouble Wha~~" why couldn't things just not happen, and let them just relax and do things? Once Xavier mentioned an animatronic going on break she looked were he had been looking and let out a sigh and she facepalmed "oh why...why couldn't we have had an uneventful trip Wha~~....if it was on break or something it would be heading to the back....someone might be stealing it or something Wha~~...unless it's going somewhere else for repairs or works in different places wha~~" she seemed to say the last part hopefully and to a nearby attendant hoping he would agree as she pointed out the leaving animatronic

Xavier couldn't help but laugh a bit at what Jericho was ranting on about, especially given he had only one ticket from the game they just got done playing. None the less he did try his harest for it, and so given his little speech on everything he'd smile and simply given in to his statements. "You know what maybe your right, after all I think I can see a bit of gold coloring on your tciket, maybe its worth mroe than the entire arcade." Though he was a tad condesending he was happy he foudn a reason to make it feel important, after all he planned on getting the adventuring sowrdsmen somethign cool from the prizes area. However he was starting to focus on what was going on aorund them as he fel a bit aprehensive about everything.

However on hearing what Jericho wanted to get he'd scratch his head, "Uh I won't promise that but I guess I can maybe get you something similar like a plushie? Or maybe a small octopus you can maybe fight-...on land." He'd say, not wishing to tango with a full sized seaking but maybe they coudl fight one on land, and being a lot smaller as well, those things were the size of small isalnds some times. Not like he'd actually plan something so rediculas unless he litterally bought one just to kill it, and as he would guess eat it, or feed an entire country with one. After all he freaked out about the size of one before, this wouldn't be any diffrenet if it was a baby or not.

Back to what Maruki was mentioning, after she began to gloat a bit about how she would beat them both at air hockey, which was true as he noted not to long ago but he would begin to scratch his head at her small explination. He understood ti quite well but he knew something that was out of the norm always equaled to something bad happened, and given that part of the reason why they were here was to have fun and not fight stuff he ahd a good guess they would be as he checked his bag. He had all his weapons, and some combat items but not everything, case in point he had his standard guns and also his faulty flame dial. His impact dail though was...not there, he left that at home just in case Stacey needed it maybe.

Sighing he'd strech a bit as he could already guess something was up and would prepare his body for it, "Alright guys, shinanigans is happening again, I'm just gona strech and get my body ready for what is going to happen..." Though he could be refering to the game he was also refering to what might happen given that he saw robots leaving and odd noises happening. "Well if who ever is doing this is causing trouble and messing with our game night I guess we have to try and fix things, normally I'd call an electrition for this kind of proble but I dont know if that will be what is needed if Maruki can't pinpoint what exactly is happening. Thanks by the way for the heads up Maruki." Smiling a bit he was happy to have her along, other wise he'd be none-the wiser.

Seeing the attendant going after the robot as he girl wondered why it was acting like it was on a mission or something, however it ignored its comands even when she pulled out the controller to try and take control over the anamatranoic. Walking towards the door as he noticed that a few of the robots from each arcade area seemed to be walking near the farris wheel as he could count from this distance, which by his count it looked like around 4 of them. "Is everything alright?" He asked the woman who was just cas confused as everyone else as the many kids walked out to see what the commotion was about and as she looked over to him she speak up on her thoughts. "We'll the system seems to be going haywire, someone seems to have messed with the programing and is controling my bot manually. Not to mention everyone elses in the park. Might need to call in matienace."

She seemed to go back inside as she began to call in some help, however for Xavier he was prepared to help right away as the communication seemed to be comming form teh top of the farris wheel little did he know. The man stationed up there as the farris wheel was in mid turn only to stop at this point he'd controled the machine with his control pad and satailite. "So, you dont like my super interactive games? Well I have a game for you to all play, and this time I'll make sure none of you win." On his little pannel it would seem he had an arcade style game playing on it, however he was using the robots bellow to control them with it. With glowing eyes the robots would begin to go after random things, destroying arcades as well as causing mass panic as he smiled and waited.

What ever he was truely after seemed to stay to himself as Xavier on hearing kids screaming and running away could already guess things turned out bad. Hearing the words 'robots are attacking!' from a child he groaned as he looked over to Jericho and Maruki, "Well it will be a bit of time before those suit guys get here I take it, I'll head towards the commotion, do you think you guys could maybe fight the robo-monsters?" He said this just as a robot seemed to be running up towards him and nealry socking him in the face, however he blocked it with a strike of his own. This robot seemed ot be a mouse and looked charming, if not for the fact ti was trying to kill him, stepping around it however he'd land a kick on its' chest however it didn't budge at all.

More so he was surpirsed it was capable of actually fighting as the kick didn't directly hit it, instead it was blocked by its forearm. Moving back from it Xavier got ready to fight, however his leg hurt slightly, what ever it was made of it wasn't iron and it was stronger than anything he's normally delt with. It actually felt like those machines he faced on that artic island, and remembering that he knew they would take way longer to fight than a standard one. However right when he thought he'd be out of the woods it would seem 2 more would show up as he groaned harder, "Guess we at least don't have to go and look for them all now." The gang of robots seemed to show one as being a rabbit, another being a squrrel, and another was a bear however this one was tending to the number of suited men entering into the island as gun fire ran rampart to try and shoot it down but it came to no effect. Again all very cute looking but the fact that they could break apart a wall was what made them scarey.

"Never mind, Maruki your more capable with electronic's, could you maybe find whats atcually causing these machines to go hay wire and to start attacking people? I'll try to fend off these guys for now." Though it was only three of them that left one more and also whom ever might be actually causing all the trouble as well. He would then glance to Jericho as he didn't know what he would possibly do, "Unless someone has something else in mind?" He added to that sentance as the man would see the trio as simple villains on his game screen that he had to beat, however more like semi-boss characters and in a more 8-bit graphic as Xavier had no idea's this was all happening. All he knew was the robots were acting off and started to attack people and destroy stuff, if the local 'law enforcement' were having trouble and wanted them gone then he'd want them gone as well.

A plushie? Jericho had just gotten himself the ticket of all tickets...and he was supposed to just spend it on a stupid plushie? Just what was Xavier thinking, saying something like that? Sure, the seaking bait was probably a bit much, but who in their right mind would waste this opportunity on something lime a plushie? Not him, that's for sure.

"Uh...sure. A plushie octopus. We've already got a plushie octopus, in case you hadn't noticed." He'd say, pointing at Maruki while grinning. Ha, he made a funny. "I'd just be wasting this on another one, and may I say, that's not gonna happen."

However, the weird things going on around them were making him curious. Whatever it was had to be accidental...right? Because if it was happening on purpose, then someone was being rude and ruining peoples' good times by messing with stuff. But what if it was something else? Like, some bad guys messing around and being all around jerks. If that was the case, then that meant that the trio would have to go into butt-kicking mode, effectively ending their fun times.

No. He was not a fan of that idea. They had been doing awesome butt-kicking things for too long now to just get caught up in some random scheme. To be fair, it might have been a fun thing to do, but he was really looking forward to beating Maruki at air hockey and this little inconvenience was delaying that. Maybe afterwards he would actually care about the possible bad guy plot of the week and attempt to enjoy himself a bit more.

And Xavier's talk about 'shenanigans' didn't help to brighten his mood. "Oh come on, we just got here! How is this even possible!? I haven't even done anything recently to even put a blip on bad guys' radars, how did they find us? It's official...we are officially back on duty...how exciting."

And thus, he went into butt-kicking mode. Upset butt-kicking mode, but still.

He'd follow Xavier towards the commotion and sulk like a heartbroken nerd until he got confirmation that this was, in fact, a bad guy plot. "Alright, point me in the direction and we'll be relaxing in no time." He said. Hopefully, that would be the case. That is, until he saw the guy on the ferris wheel talking about his plan. Which then made this a bit more complicated. "Nevermind."

And things spiraled out of control when the robotic animals popped up and started causing trouble. Things began spiraling even moreso when the animals came together and opposed the trio...for some strange reason. How did they know exactly who to attack!?

Though, they were attacking everything in sight, so...

"What'll I do? I call dibs on the squirrel!" He said before charging forward. Not even caring that Xavier's attack against robo-mouse didn't go so well, he would instead go on and punch robo-squirrel in the face...and after a brief moment, would wince in pain.

"On second thought, maybe I'll do crowd control this time. Have fun you two." He whispered before slowly backing away from the squirrel. He couldn't tell if it was angry or not, but since it had begun to advance on him it was a pretty safe bet that it didn't take getting punched in the face too kindly. And with that, he scurried away in the opposite direction, only for the squirrel to give chase.

There was a joke there somewhere, but Jericho would leave it alone. You know, to focus on the more important things like surviving.

Maruki looked at the situation but then looked at Jericho and pouted (=3=) "Oi oi oi...if you think I am a plushy I should remind you I can punch through Iron Wha~~" she said as she looked at her over energetic friend, then again calling him over energetic was kinda the pot calling the kettle black in this case since she was rather energetic at times herself, though only Jericho turned little things into big things...like the ticket for instance, but at the same time it was funny to see him trying to hard all the time, it was good to see that he was so willing to try, but granted that got them in trouble a lot, like the seaking incident, which she pouted a bit more about as she remembered it, she would get the two of them back for it later oh yes definitely, as she thought that n evil little octopi smile spread on her face and she giggled evilly while rubbing her unoccupied hands together like a stereotypical evil genius, Though at the moment there was other things to worry about.

For instance the three robotic things heading towards them, Xavier tried to strike one but that didn't work, "Guys befor running in maybe we should..." and at that point Jericho rushed in and hurt his hand and Maruki facepalmed "...Or we can punch metal and see if it hurts...what works too Wha~~" she muttered as she looked at the two boys, well to be fair it's not like she had any other ideas to stop them expect to power then down, but more then likely that was an internal switch so getting to it was far more dangerous then simply dismantling the things, and really that looked like what they would need to do, with a sigh she reached into her back pack and took out her gauntlets and slipped them on and slammed them together "Okay then...lets rumble Wha~~" she said as she moved to block the squirrel that was trying to go after Jericho.

As she got in front of it she deployed the drill on her gauntlet and attempted to strike the thing really she was just trying to draw it away from Jericho but as she did so she said over her shoulder "Me and Xavier really need to put you through some training Wha~~ like what we did before Wha~~" she said as she tried to drill the animatronic

The situation seemed to be pretty standard as they came into one of the plaza area's which wasn't too faro from the arcade, in fact it was right outside of it and along a stripe of colorful road that lead to the Farris wheel. However many people were running away as many of the animatronics' moved and began to raid shops and area's in the section of the city, and while most of the robots were centered on taking care of the men in suits it was easy to tell that some lost their way and came into Xavier and company's direction. With them all facing off against these few robotic terrors he could also hear the screams and cries form kids running away to the bride as the robots didn't seem to chase them over it, keeping them out of this section of the city as if the tons of riches in the casino place wasn't good enough.

As the squirrel would chase after Jericho it would seem to stop on a dime as Maruki came in front of it, for what ever reason as she aimed to attack it with her weapon it would jump back and avoid it completely, it was swift and seemed to be also able to fight just as well as a person almost. However Maruki's attack wouldn't go unnoticed by the other two as they rushed in after the squirrel backed up, almost in unison they would aim to strike at the octopus' head and legs with kicks. If they connection Maruki would be able to tell that the robots were not just made of simple iron, instead they were more or less made of some alloy that as much harder and almost unbreakable normally. At least for some people as it was harder than titanium, mean while Xavier stepped into the fray and tried to pull one of them away as he'd target the mouse. Rushing the robot he'd aim to tackle it however he swiftly missed as he rolled on the ground and got back up to his feet.

"Okay these aren't normal robots, great, someone must have supped them up or made them a lot better at what they intended to make them do." He'd think, but as he noticed Jericho scrambling off he'd point out something. "Hey I don't make up the rules on these sorts of things, it just tends to be that way when everyone else is busy running away and we go towards what ever is causing the panic. Besides, I don't feel like fighting either but I'm sure as not going to enjoy my time off if killer robots are screwing with the park..." Which was his semi-meta way of saying he hated this, but he didn't complain too much, besides he hadn't gotten to stretch his arms since the whole Titan incident. This would be a lot more different as he actually had a means of dealing with annoying robotic problems like these now that he's face not one, but over 3 cyborgs now and even more if counting the trio of blood trusty laser shooting mechanical monsters.

Since Maruki was helping to protect Jericho for the most part he wondered what they should do now, normally they would try to separate to take care of the threats one at a time and then advance to the main threat, but now they were all packed together so if anything went off they would be in marginal trouble. None the less this would be some good practice, at least before they get back to playing games once this was all over, if they could that is, after all he'd guess the other arcades might be trashed now by the other robots in the area. With a full view of everything their was around 70 robots going around taking and destroying things as a ship was waiting near the side of one of the buildings, taking valuables by a screw of what seemed like normal human pirates as they started to talk about what was going on while moving things like prizes and money into the ship.

"Hey, why did the captain give that guy that weird dish thing if he knew he was going to do this?" "Who cares, he's crazy, besides we are going to make a killin' just looting this place while those tinker toys bust up the arcades, only wish he'd hit up the casino's and we'd be rolling in it." With their rambling going on as they loaded their ship with goods Xavier would be more so focused on the robots that were starting to be a bit of a nuisance as he scratched his head, "What were you about to say before we were interrupted Maruki?" he asked her as he began to focus on the robotic animals again, trying to keep them at bay and away from the running kids and adults trying to get out of the arcade area.

With no real plans in order as Jericho seemed to jump ahead and go with his own little plan of trying to escape the killer squirrel which they stopped he'd call out to Jericho. "Jericho! Find out what's going on if you can." It was simple and to the point, after all he was sure he could figure it out if not for the rest of them given now that pirates and other shinanigans were in the mix. Turning this once nice evening into a festival of annoying encounters as he was now fighting some cartoon robots and having to make sure they didn't total the amusement park completely. "Also don't get yourself hurt!" He was sure to add as knowing Jericho any time he went to try and do something himself, or even around the two of them he'd hurt himself, and he'd be in the mood to laugh right now if the robots they were facing were singing charming songs and less trying to kill them now as the man on the Farris wheel began to find the trio to be a bit annoying to a degree.

"Sure thing pal!" Jericho called to Xavier. If those two were gonna fight the robo-animals, the least he could do was find out who programmed them. And after that, pummel the person (or people) who did so. But first, he felt that as the only person around who could maybe possibly keep all of the other people nearby under control, he should at least attempt to do what he said he was going to do.

Crowd control.

...Yeah, no, he wasn't gonna do that. Seemed boring, and although it would do the people some good, he was quite content believing that they were smart people. Seriously, just avoid the robo-animals and you should be fine. And then a thought popped into his head: if he could think up a simple solution like that to keep people safe, then there were gonna be people out there like him who could think up numerous ways to get into trouble.

Cue the blonde warmonger known as Jericho become a peacemaking hippie.

"Al-righty then! EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE DANGER ZONE!" He'd shout. Unnecessary, you might think. So what? Is what he would think. Nearby onlookers would either take heed of his warning and stay away from the possibly killer robots, or they would look at him and wonder...if his screws were loose.

Yes...yes they were.

But in a good way.

Once he felt he had done his part to keep the peace he'd go back to his original plan. That being 'kick some ass and play some games', with 'and cash my ultimate ticket of winning' coming in a close third. There was some commotion on the ferris wheel earlier, best he go and check it out to see if that's where the bad guys were. And if not, he could at least start his search from there. That was, until he stopped and looked around. There...there were a lot more robots running around than he remembered.

"The hell?" He muttered. They were pillaging the games for the prizes, along with destroying the games that one would play to get said prizes. This...this was unacceptable! He had yet to win any prizes here, but these robo-dorks were just gonna waltz in here and steal them? Time for him to find out who was in charge of these machines and show them why you don't mess with a warrior on a mission!

He began running around, eyeing everyone he saw with suspicion. There had to be a ringleader among them, but who? Who here would be able to give him the answers he was searching for? After minutes of searching, the endless running had tired him out. While stopping to catch his breath, he looked up to see pirates. Yes, pirates, and they were carrying prizes and stuff. Great, so it was a pirate crew that did this...oh well, he'd just have to defeat them all.

"Hey! You losers over there!" He'd call out, pointing at them while he did so. "I demand you put those prizes back where they belong, unless you'd like me to treat you like I treat...uh...like I treat pirates, I guess. You know what? Just wait right there, let me think of something clever..."

Maruki let out a "meep" as she missed the squirrel and then they came in after her, so she raised the gauntlet with the shield on it and deploying her hex-tech shield, but she took a kick to the legs sweeping them out from under her, Thankfully being an octopi meant having more arms, so she used them to catch herself and basically cartwheel away from them before ending up back on her feet, by that time Xavier had already given an Idea to Jericho and had missed the mouse. The octopi growled a bit as she looked at the machines, they were definitely not steel or iron, she could tell that by the hardness, and they seemed to be able to move quite well, "Xavier they may be steel or titanium, not sure WHY they would build animatronics with that other then to avoid basic wear and tear but this is going to be a bit of trouble...I'll take care of these three Wha~~ you go help other people out okay Wha~~?" she said as she Slammed her fists together.


Her body seemed to shine for a moment as the Armor of her Haki covered her entirely the strikes of her fists echoing in even this place one beat. a second. then a third as she was finally fully covered in her haki "Three drums....now...Rise the Kraken..." After that she deployed all her gauntlets tools to prepare for a bit of a fight. "Lets see them get through this Wha~~~" she said as she rushed towards the bots, she fought harder things before and she wasn't about to let these distract all three of them while other things were happening "Get going Xavier I can handle these, besides we both know your not the best at handling things like this Wha~~" it wasn't meant to be mean it was just kinda true, she seen how he tended to struggle against things like this, besides if they where machines it meant she could go all out on them and take them apart faster, while Jericho handles what he can manage, and Xaiver does the same.

"As for you three LET'S DANCE WHA~~~!!" she shouted as she increased the fuel feed to her hammer fist, taking a good hard punch at one of the animatronics, if it blocked the damage should be enough, she hoped anyway, to ether take it out of the fight, or at least impair it's fighting abilities which was all she could hope for at the moment, while she tried to identify what they where made out of and how best to dismantle them. This would be a fight basically meant for her since all her skills were useful on things like this and she did hope Xavier would head off to help others or find the culprit behind this all so they could stop all the bots, Maruki was sure she could take all the bots out but that would take a long time all on her own.

"Well if they are super hard I'd guess they might have been upgraded by someone, but alright, I think your better suited for this sorda thing anyways. I'll leave it to you while I take care of getting the civilians out of here." Of course he'd try to do more than that but this was the first thing that came to mind when it came to helping that is, but he also needed to find out who was actually causing all this. After all they had to be controlled by someone, robots that were programed for a purpose don't just go and do odd things on their own unless they are just that smart. Regardless he'd turn and begin rushing his way down one of the street corners, running towards he plaza area as he by passed the trio of robotic monsters that would now be staring down Maruki as their only opponent. He hopped she would be okay in handling the robots by herself, but given her skills she was nearly a perfect match for them as he knew she was very capable on her own.

"I'll use my den den to keep in contact, and be careful Maruki!" With this he'd begin to make his way further down the street as he looked around, unable to figure out where to actually start as he wasn't as good at tracking people as maybe Maruki was but he had to try. After all they had to split up already, so their resources were split into sections as he made his way further into the district of this part of the island. "Okay, first I have to figure out where, how, and who is causing all this but I barely have any leads. Heading towards where the machines were gathering before they left and began terrorizing everything seems like a good place to start but I have no clue what I might be running into if I go this route."

Mulling over his plan in his head he'd vault over some rubble as he was still running, looking around at the destruction as many of the buildings were collapsing and or just in a state of broken repair. As he was coming down the way however he'd notice a number of kids running towards him, rocks falling around them as an explosion would rock the area which almost caused him to fall over. However keeping a stable footing as the kids seemingly all fell the building seemed to be hit by the explosion and began to tip over, the building shaped like a rocket ship was nearly 3 stories tall and was accurately named 'The Space Pod Arcade'. "Shit, the buildings gona crush them!" Xavier knew that he couldn't save all of them given their positions if he just reached for a few of them, and given the side of the building he'd have no choice in the matter of saving one or two of the kids or ignoring them completely.

However as he rushed into the way of the building he'd increase the side of his hands by using his clay powers, soon thrusting his hands forward he'd shove against the building using all his force as the entire weight of the structure soon leaned on him alone. This sudden surge in weight caused him to drop to a knee instantly as he struggled against the building, his arms were feeling weak, shaking and he was beginning to sweat as he panted. It was like he was trying to lift the worlds heaviest weight and it wasn't getting any better as shattered glass would drop down, the sound of the building breaking in sections only made him more worried as he couldn't handle this for long. Desperate as the kids began to get up but a few were stuck and some pinned under boulders of rubble Xavier would make a longer version of his arm, sprouting from his back as he would lift up boulders and begin to take the kids to the side. All the while his head was pressed against the building he was keeping up, his muscles straining, his face turning red, even his mind was telling him to stop and just let it go but he couldn't listen to it yet.

As he moved the last child to the side he'd ell to the group of them, while some adults were present, "Take the side street to the left, it should get you to the bridge, now LEAVE!" He'd demand as he'd soon leg go of the building while turning his body to clay, the entire thing seemingly smashing him into nothing as a dust cloud emanated from his location. None the less as the dust settled and some of them stood by wondering if he survived he'd begin to slip out from under the building still in his clay body form as he panted, he was exhausted after that but he didn't stop moving as he began to keep heading towards the Farris wheel. However by the looks of it his shoulder was injured slightly, the heat from the fires caused his real body to sustain some damage but it was only his shoulder and he simply rolled with it. "Have to keep moving, other wise nothing will get done. I'll go along the alley way, it looks quicker."

Coming up to an impasse his plan was to take the alley way to get there quicker, however as he began to go down this route he'd be stopped by someone. It was a man dressed in what seemed to be all black, having a mask with animal designs over it and wielding what seemed to be a sword, Xavier didn't know what to make of this person at first glance but he didn't have much time to think about it as the Farris wheel was only a couple meters away. Oddly enough he could hear someone laughing like an insane maniac on top of the Farris wheel as he glanced up and then at the person in front of him, he could already guess they wasn't here to be friends to have a party and got into his fighting stance with out a word. The unknown man doing the same as he'd pull out his weapons and prepare for what was about to happen as Xavier's eyes stayed glued on the mans face which was still covered by the mask.

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

The pirates that Jericho had discovered were actually surprised to be found out, however this wouldn't stop them. "Wow, kids these days really need to take more educational classes." One pirate would say as they waved off Jericho's little threats, "Listen kid unless you want to become a bullet sword sponge I suggest you leave the area while we do our job, besides we don't have time to play. Now everyone get back to looting!! Take the money, leave the stupid toys." Another would say, he was much larger and seemed to be leading this small band of pirates, well not completely, but he seemed like the likely person who was in charge of everything given how everyone seemed to move out of his way as he walked up to Jericho.

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

The trio of robots seemed to stare down Maruki for a long time, however instead of attacking right away they would wait for a moment till she aimed to come for them. As soon as she would aim to strike one of the robots the mouse would jump towards her, from its arm a chain saw would spring forth as the rotating blades of it would try to cut Maruki as it aimed for one of her arms. All the while the squirrel would take the attack she threw at it, cracking part of its body as it left a small impact on it but the squirrel would seem to counter attack as it would open its mouth and shoot out a pulse of energy at her. Similar to bullet as it was a magnetically charged piece of lead that would shock anything it came into contact with, all the while the last of the trio, the bunny, would aim to punch her in the waist.

What...was that? Did these guys just treat Jericho like he was some random kid on the street? Like, like some loser or something? This would not do at all, they must not have realized what was about to happen to them. Yeah, that had to be it.

So, best if he reminded them then.

"I'm sorry, do you not have a clue as of what is to come!?" He said. The look on his face was one of determined vigor, mixed with a bit of stupidity for added measure. "I am gonna be the one who takes you losers down, so put the games and stuff back before I tear a hole in your guts!"

Unfortunately, he was quite sure that they weren't the type to be intimidated easily. No matter, he dealt with their kind before. All he'd have to do was kick their butts, put everything back to normal, and get some respect for doing so! Funny how that seemed to always be the plan with their little crew. Arrive, find/cause trouble, kick butt, leave. It was...interesting, to say the least.

"But enough talk, show me your moves, and maybe I'll go easy on you!"

Similar to bullet as it was a magnetically charged piece of lead that would shock anything it came into contact with, all the while the last of the trio, the bunny, would aim to punch her in the waist.

Maruki seen the Mouse moving towards her but she was already mid strike, so dodging wasn't an option, so instead she activated her own saw and swiped at the chainsaw of the mouse coming at her in an attempt to cut through it, Whatever was controlling them was apparently good at tactics though as she moved to do that her attack landed and damaged one of them, but it fired at her and the best she could do was raise the shield once more, the shock traveling through her and she grit her teeth, she would have to neutralize that with her drill next time if she can, then she was hit in the gut by the other robot and she fell back. holding her stomach, it had hurt quite a bit but with her haki coating it hadn't been as bad as it could have been, but she needed to rethink how she fought them, they seemed to wait for an attack and then reacted, if she targeted one, the other two would take advantage of the opening.

Growling a bit she had to attack them all at once, she could do it but she had to be smart about it, that meant keeping a defense up while attacking, that was easier said then done but she should be able to manage it, she kind of had to, these were not the only bots running around causing havoc and she needed to start distracting more of them, thankfully less and less people where around, she was just glad that there wasn't some like super large bot she would have to deal with after all the smaller ones. "Okay then Wha~~ seems I have to fight a bit smarter then you three Wha~~" she said with a smile as she backed up a bit more, revving her drill, and setting the hammer-fist once more, she would need to land this properly, and she hoped she could it would require that she really push herself but she needed that opening...but thinking on it she could also just continue to focus instead she just had to fight more defensively.

Taking a deep breath Maruki took her time to analyze them, looking for any weak points and spotting a few of them, joints of course being the weakest, but her strike should have broken that bot, the fuzzy soft outer layer though probably acted as padding for the blow, meaning to really do anything she had to ether pierce it, or do away with it. With a nod she knew what her task had to be and so she checked the area, already there was some fires going on, fire would be a bad Idea in the area but, she had more then fire at her disposal. Changing the feed on her welder she set it to cryo-gun mode. If she couldn't burn it off she could sure as hell make it frozen and then break it off them. "Okay then your three, Round two Wha~~" she said as her image blurred and she appeared behind them her cryo-gun raised and she released a large spray of the Liquid Nitrogen in the gun to try and freeze the outer layer of the things, if it worked even moving would break the layer.
