| The Recycling Center |
| (2012-12-16 - 2012-12-30) |
| No description. |
| Megavolt | At the local Traverse Town electronics recycling center, televisions, clock radios, and other broken or outdated appliances are brought to be recycled into their basic components. To most people, this is a normal thing - but to Megavolt, this is an outrage. The thought that any law-abiding citizen of the Multiverse could be destroyed like so much worthless junk is shocking, and he plans to make the workers here feel his wrath! Megavolt bursts into the front doors of the recycling center, where there's a counter manned by a clerk, and doors leading deeper into the complex. "Ahoy, evil doers! It is I, avenger of the electronic and oppressed, MEGAVOLT! You vile fiends have murdered innocent people long enough! I SHALL STRIKE YOU DOWN WITH THE WRATH OF THE STORM!" |
| Portobello | Portobello had been here in hopes of negotiating with somebody to allow him to buy some used cases for electronic equipment when he saw the strange looking rodent burst in through the doors. He looks about the place, wondering where these 'murderers' are, "Kupo, you sure you're in the right place? All that's in here is devices that have long since retired." He looks towards the clerk, then off towards the doors leading into the back of the shop. |
| Megavolt | Megavolt casts his baleful glare at the moogle, his face screwing up into an angry snarl at the statement. "Retired? RETIRED?! This isn't retirement, this is murder! After all these poor people's hard work, you take them here and murder them like a horse with a limp! THEY HAVE RIGHTS!" He points his gloved finger at Portobello, electricity crackling and sparking. "This place is a CONCENTRATION CAMP!" |
| Portobello | Portobello leans back a bit with a brow quirked as this unusual individual begins spouting off a lot of strange statements, as if the appliances and equipment here were alive and sentient. He wouldn't give him too much mind if he had not seen his glove begin to arc with a strong pulse of electricity, "As an Engineer I can understand one having a sense of empathy for Electronical Devices, Kupo. But in a way they'll be giving themselves to the creation of newer ones. Such is the nature of a world of limited resources, everyone eventually has to depart so others can exist." |
| Megavolt | Megavolt narrows his uneven eyes behind his goggles, and stalks towards the Moogle with his finger out. "Are you implying that they deserve to die because they're old? Because maybe they're not fancy enough for their evil overlords? They are OPPRESSED! These new devices are slaves, just like the old ones, and they too will be killed! I'll tell you what I think I should do to this awful, awful place!" He swings his hand to the side, sending a huge crackling blast of electricity into a wall, blowing concrete and drywall everywhere. "BLOW IT ALL UP!" |
| Portobello | Portobello ducks a bit as pieces of the wall begin flying all over the place, he's definitely too enraged to be reasoned with. He'll have to deal with this rather riled up rat the hard way before this whole place ends up comming down upon his head. From what he can tell with the way the double doors are moving back and forth suddenly the clerk must have fled the area. Probably for the better as he won't have to worry about anyone being held hostage, "Kupo, I'm not one to normally judge, but you certainly seem unhinged. Thankfully I can fasten back against a solid surface." He pulls against his pouches along the side of his belt as two small console controlls pop out of them. He begins manipulating them as a mechanical arm extends out from the side of his backpack. Fitted on the end of the arm is a nail gun, primed with the hum of pressurized air being generated as it begins firing several rounds of nails towards you. |
| Megavolt | Megavolt emits a terrified shriek at the nails as they fly towards him, getting hit with several but managing to avoid being pinned to any hard surface. "You defend these MONSTERS? Then you'll die like one of them!" he shouts, extending his finger. There's a bright flash as an arc of electricity resembling a horizontal lightning bolt shoots out at Portobello. "Feel the wrath of MEGAVOLT!" |
| Portobello | Portobello lets out a *squeak* in pain as he's stunned for a moment, breathing heavily as he shudders from the electricity surging through his body. This is nothing he isn't used to but it's still rather uncomfortable either way. This person was far too dangerous to play around with, he needed to get him under control before the structural integrity of this building becomes far too compromised, "If you're still looking to cause trouble, I'm going to have to shake some sense into you." He begins working the small consoles as the nail gun arm retracts and several others take their place. One of them has a large hammer on the end and the other two have grabbing clamps attached, the hammer swings low and upwards towards Megavolt while the other two attempt to throw him against the ground. |
| Megavolt | Megavolt gets grabbed by the clamp arms, his eyes opening wide as the hammer slams down on his head. Pinned onto the floor, his pupils dilate and undilate as he tries to recover from the blow. "Owwwies! Hammer hit head!" He reaches out for the arms, attempting to absorb electricity through them while also electrifying them, attempting to give Portobello a jolt. "For that, I'm gonna toast ya!" |
| Portobello | Portobello gets another jolt of electricity sent through his body, though he was physically ready for it, even if it was a lot stronger than the last time, "Ugh, I've had this sorta stuff running through my body when I was checking faulty circuitry as an apprentice. It'll take more than this to deep fry me, Kupo." He regains control of his utility pack and withdraws the hammer in favor of the Nail Gun once more, hoping to fire off a few rounds and attempting to slam him down again while he's still grasping onto the arms. |
| Megavolt | Megavolt springs backward, off the arms and onto the ground. The nails fly around him, but he uses his magnetic charge to push them away, the metal projectiles skewing all around him but failing to hit. "Fry you? I'm not gonna fry you. I'm gonna FLAMBE you!" He pulls an odd looking orb off his belt, and jacks it into the plug on his chest. "But first..." He flicks a switch, and the device hums, charging Megavolt with power as he hovers off his feet, electricity arcing everywhere. |
| Portobello | Portobello was not waiting to see what he had in mind, calling back the other arms he has two near the front of his back pack come out, they have two large plates of metal fixed to them that lock together to form a barrier in front of him while two arms from the back reach out towards you, "Kupo, Flamebe me? Then I'll have to beat you the punch!" Said arms have a welder and plasma cutter attached. |
| Megavolt | "YIKES!" Megavolt shouts as he sees the welder and plasma cutter, before he emits a sobbing shriek as he's burnt. "AYYYYEEEE, IT BURNS, IT BURNS, WORSE THAN BURNING!" he cries out as he struggles with the two metal arms. He attempts to grab one of the arms, and send a massive electric charge through it. "You get back now, you hear?!" |
| Portobello | Portobello doubles over in pain, struggling to keep control of his body as he presses a button on one of the consoles and a pair of small jets push out of the pack and ignite to lift him up into the air, he looks rather dazed for a moment as he attempts to shake off the elecricity in order to continue. The mechanical arms change out once again, there's a lot more of them this time, each with a rather painful looking tool on the end. In front of all of them is a large drill, it begins spinning rapidly, "Kupo, if I do that you couldn't get the full efficiency that these tools are capable of!" The jump jets flare up as Portobello surges foward, bringing all his Utilities to bear upon Megavolt. |
| Megavolt | As Megavolt hovers across from his foe, he extends his arms to either side, electricity snapping and crackling out from his arms. As the drill bears down on him, he merely points at it, and pushes it away with his eerie control of electrical apparatii. "You...Made me angry..." he glowers as he shakes with rage, attempting to bend the drill around and make it stab the Moogle. "Now feel my wrath! The wrath of MEGAVOLT!" |
| Portobello | Portobello erps! His eyes growing wide as the tools all miss their mark, and to make matters worse his drill was getting turned directly towards him. Though he was not fully unprepared for this as he flipped a switch on one of the consoles, switching to auxillery circuitry as a failsafe to such manipulations, "Nobody uses my own invention against me!" While Megavolt is focusing his efforts on the drill he brings the Plasma Cutter down low in an attempt to give Megavolt the hot foot. Meanwhile the buzzsaw attachment swings into his side near the batter pack's strap in order to liberate that supposed power source from him. |
| Megavolt | Megavolt emits a yelp as his foot gets burnt, while meanwhile his battery pack is severed from his back, falling to the ground with a *CLUNK*. "I am also an inventor! I invented a way to un-pickle cucumbers!" Megavolt announces proudly, before he summons two huge balls of voltage that surround his hands. "I've had enough of you, you weird little goober! It's time to take things up a notch!" He swings both hands forward, clapping them together and unleashing a huge surge of electricity. |
| Portobello | Portobello blinks a bit at the mention of unpickling a cucumber, "I'll have to admit that's pretty ingenious, Kupo." Though he isn't given any time to ponder how one would accomplish that as Megavolt had summoned a pair of massive electrical orbs. His right hand reached for a shiny button on the side of his console as a wire with a hook on it shot out of the bottom of the pack and connected with the floor, grounding out eh attack and leaving a rather noticable burnt spot on the floor. The wire falls off the backpack as Portobello brings the Drill back around again for a second go along with the Welding Tool. |
| Megavolt | The drill and welder cause Megavolt to wail plaintively, his eyes rolling backwards as he nearly faints. Shuddering from exertion, and nearly spent in terms of his charge, he exclaims, "Get ready for my ULTIMATE ATTACK!" He then turns about and attempts to run away, trying to escape to the street. |
| Portobello | Portobello isn't all that interested in pursuing if he's leaving the scene, he dusts himself off a bit as he waits til it seems like he's out of sight, "Kupo, well...that 'attack' certainly didn't fail him." He says while surveying the mess left behind in the assault, "While I can admire his respect for electrical powered gadgets, he has a rather skewed understand of their nature." He then starts attempting to clean up the area using the arms to move the heavier pieces of debris to a specific spot, another arm extending out with a vacuum head and hose attachment to clean up all the drywall dust. He was not one to leave things in dissary if he didn't have to abandon a place in a hurry. |
