The jet streaked overhead with a sonic boom, rapidly leaving the Champions in its wake. Despite having departed just as swiftly as it had arrived, however, the green-and-gold aircraft had not missed their presence; even as they debated what to do next, a dozen grey canisters fell out of the air to land on the ground on either side of the Champions in two rows of six.
They would have just enough time to take note of these ominous metal cylinders before the canisters exploded, filling the area with a sinister gas which glowed a noxious shade of green...
The Danse Macabre CodexYaguruma would have held his breath if he had lungs, but it was to no avail. The gas seeped into him, causing sparks to fly and pain to rocket across his limbs. It made no true difference to him, though- he was used to pain. What he was not used to was the immobility he was facing, and though his features betrayed no emotion, he was seething with rage. "...We... Have to find cover."
Wakka-wakka-wakka-wakka~"We gotta... gotta..." Roadbuster grunted with pain, but gamely struggled on as the gas shrouded his body in the noxious mist. "We... find... shelter... now..." His body was sparking more badly than ever, but he refused to give up. "... not going to die like this," he growled, trying to evade any further payload that he plane overhead was going to drop.

Fluttershy stopped crying to look up and see the incoming canisters. They exploded, filling the area with noxious green gas. At first she wonder why she was not choking right now, but the gas seemed to absorbed straight into her skin. Soon the electrical surges within her body started becoming more intense and more painful.
She screamed in pain......her legs buckled up.....
"I.....I....can't......I......."
Her eyes shot open, seemingly shooting out with a sudden intense energy that could bring down the fiercest opponents.......luckily for the others, her Stare did not concentrate on a single being. "We all have to run!" she said, her voice a sudden and intense monotone. With that her eyes through the air, still sparking with electricity but possibly ignorant of the pain.....
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!Chun-li found herself somewhere unfamiliar to her, away from the Maximals. She seemed to be a metal humanoid of some sort. Her mind felt fuzzy... She didn't know where she was... who she was.
There are criminal scum here, said a deep, authoritative and charismatic masculine voice. Known as Maximals, their mere existence threaten the very safety of Cybertron.
Chun-li felt unending loyalty to this voice inside her head.
They need to be eliminated to the last molecule, continued the voice. You are to be my general, Road Warrior, and ensure the safety of Cybertron.
"Your will shall be done, Lord Megatron," Chun-li, the newly christened Road Warrior, pushed herself up from the ground and transformed into a blue Ferrari, before she sped off. She had to destroy the criminal scum that were the Maximals for Lord Megatron.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyTyrell blanked out again but he quickly remembered what Shawn said:
Er... No. I'm not an 'Adept'. I communicate with spirits. It allows me to see what others can't. I heard the spirits told me that you could control fire, but I didn't think they meant literally..." He dramatically turns to the left and begins speaking to the air, "Seriously guys, next time be clearer with your meaning!
"But that's exactly what a wind ade-''
"PAWNCH!" Yelled a disembodied voice as a giant hand popped out of the wall and punched Tyrell into a portal which quickly formed behind him. Another, differently colored portal appeared beside it. Presumably this portal led somewhere else. The portals didn't seem to be going anywhere yet so Shawn could enter one of them if he so wished.
"Ow."
Tyrell was not happy. A giant fist had punched him, interrupted an important conversation with his new friend, seperated his party, and worst of all: It had mispronounced the word punch. On further obervation Tyrell was now made of metal, a quadraped, and seemed to be missing his internal organs. This made Tyrell confused, which made him angry, which made him want to burn things. And so he set off looking for something to set aflame.
Tyrell briefly considered burning Shawn but decided that Thor would not approve, so he stayed his hand.
"Yeah, I guess it WAS pretty funny. Please warn me next time though. It really hurt."
Suddenly Tyrell thought of something really important. Immensely important. So important that it might be a matter of life and death.
"Shawn, how do I go to the bathroom when my internal organs are missing? I AM some kind of machine now, right? I'm not hallucinating again?"
“Systems Online, Shell Personality Active.”
“Good, Yeessss, engage programming.”
It was dark...so very dark...
Then...light!
“Ah, excellent. The new General is online.” The newly awakened being looked around to the best of his ability.
“Nercosis, eradicate.” Said an altogether very cheery voice.
“All weapons online. Excellent, soon I will stand triumphant! My enemies will cower in fear and despair and will beg me not to exterminate them, but I will be all 'No! I will not show mercy to you!'”
There was a slight pause...
“You're sure that this shell program is correct master?”
“Yes, of course! Now then, Nercosis! Eliminate the Maximals that infest Cybertron, before they do irreparable harm.”
The vehicle which faced Megatron seemed to bounce in agreement,
“Understood” Before it spun around and roared out. It was a rather odd looking vehicle too.
First, like several of the others, it had two wheels. But unlike them, these were giant hoop shaped wheels that were on ether side of a streamlined body
◊. The central hull had a massive single eye forward that glowed red, and attached to the underside was a turret with a barrel pointing forwards. On ether side of the body was a set of fifteen missile tubes.
Wolf Link was caught in the noxious fumes, and instantly fell to the ground, panting raggedly. Pain. A lancing, tearing pain, so alien to his new form and yet at the same time all too horribly familiar – for this body was strangely in sync with his psyche. He had been trapped as a wolf before, and a wolf he was again. He... -
Another surge of pain cut off his musing, and he gave a strangled gasp. “This….*huff*… this isn’t good…urk….” he panted.
Slowly and painfully, he began to claw his way forward, every step increasing the agony that throbbed through his joints. “Must… keep… going…”

This was too weird, and way too much for Mehir to take. He followed the Doctor to the tree, then hit it with his head repeatedly.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Scorpion coughed as best as a scorpion could, but he kept going. He saw Wolf Link ahead of him and got an idea. Using his tail, he grabbed the wolf by the leg and threw him ahead.
"Get over there!" yelled Scorpion as he threw Link.
Suddenly, Scorpion felt a jolt of pain. Lightning surged through his body.
"Oh, Crap!," said the scorpion. "What's happening to me now?"

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!Ignoring the demoness, Justin turned to the throng of zombies, apparently not distubed in the least by their rather grotesque appearance. "We have need to locate the Swell Floop," he said loudly, commanding their attention. "Its nature need not concern you. In order to locate it, we must have the Six Rings of Xanth. We understand that only you know where the Rings are." However, the zombies merely looked at one another, somewhat baffled by this statement.
There was a pause as mortals and undead looked at one another with more than a bit of unease.
"Maybe Xeth knows," interjected Breanna, "Where is he? Of course- he's in his palace. We'll all go there." Immediately, the humans, centaurs, and bird trooped down the path, Breanna motioning for the others to follow.

Fluttershy barely dodged Roadbuster after was at her and Cletus, ducking under the giant mass. She looked on at the fight, with Dubix about to blast the newcomer with a face full of energy......but then suddenly stopped. Then the Vehicon transformed and drove off. "Wait, Shotaro come back!" the pony yelled out, calling for the Rider.
But as Dubix drove out of eyesight, Fluttershy lowered herself to the ground in despair. She crumpled up on the floor, most definitely crying now. "Why did he attack us.....?" she whispered amid the sobs.
She did not even notice the incoming jet plane coming towards them.....
