"And, there." uttered Jail under his breath.
With a press of a final button, the castle's machinery flickered back to life.

"Castle, please proceed with your functioning as you did before," he ordered, heading out of the room.

He went back to the workshop, this time turning his attention to the gathering of machinery that was used for robot maintenance. Checking the notes he got from the castle, he picked several installations and begun work reinterfacing them and further adding tools native to his home universe.

Nodding slowly at Cletus' instructions, Link slung Shotaro's arm over his own shoulder without a word and proceeded to lead the detective to Gunner's castle, soon finding a vacant bedroom on the third floor. Helping Shotaro into the bed, he stepped back, gazing down at him with somber eyes.

"Shotaro... I don't really know how to put this, so please bear with me."

"Just now, during that confrontation with Stranger... you tried to put your belt on. To transform, I think the phrase was."

"Were you really going to attack him?"

Mehir shook his head as the procession went toward the castle. He was stuck with madmen*

again, and this time the madmen weren't highly intelligent, time-machine piloting weird men from another Plane but a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits...
Sighing, he sat down near Grey and stared at the reploid.

"... I... I think I was just trying to scare him a bit..." Shotaro said. He then thought... What if he really did had the intent to attack. Why did he want to do that to someone? The anwser was soon obvious: Fluttershy.

"..." Shotaro then realized. Everything Dubix was saying was right. He then looked at his hands, trying to think about what he was about to do.

Having eventually given up on shaming his Biometal into returning, Grey answered Chun-li and Rey's queries with a simple shrug. He had been a bit lost in his thoughts, and as a result he had missed most of what had happened. "You might want to help Dodgers, though," he said, nodding in the direction of the screams. As harsh as it sounded, he simply didn't have the energy to do so.

Noticing Mehir looking at him - an unusual event in any case, considering the reploid's tendency to melt into the background - Grey glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

A small part of him was worried that the summoner was mulling over the fact that Grey was related to a tightknit group of madmen (and a madwoman), even if he wasn't insane himself. Grey certainly didn't care too much about his heritage, but he couldn't say the same of the others (even if none had commented on it thus far).

Subaru was fast enough (and feeling better), so she moved over to the flailing Dodgers and promptly pulled the little creatures off his leg with her hands. She kept a good grip on the things, making sure to keep them away from her own exposed limbs.

Fluttershy looked on in horror when after putting on a chicken suit himself, Dodgers SHOT HIS OWN LEG. The pegasus had heard of some pretty stupid ponies back in her home, but this is the first time she even seen anyone caused on purposely themselves bodily harm was potentially fatal.

She was even MORE horrified when the truly delectable smell of the duck's legs caused the fuzzles to leap upon the space captain's leg*

. The moment of shock left and Fluttershy when she saw Subaru come in and remove the fuzzles off of Dodgers' leg.

The pastel pony approached the TSAB agent, floated up to the ravenous furballs, and then, to everyone's surprise.........she started singing.......

Hush now, quiet now,

It's time to lay your sleepy head.

Hush now, quiet now,

It's time to go to beeeeeed...

The pony's voice was a soft, quiet tone, yet immensely beautiful.....it was like listening to silk......

Drift on off to sleep,

The exciting day behi-ind you,

Drift on off to sleep,

Let the joy of dreamland find yooooooooou.......

Hush now, quiet now,

It's time to lay your sleepy head.

Tick sae what she was doing, then promptly went over to Dodgers and grabbed his throat. "See what you've done!" he hissed. "I told you no good would come of this and now look! The poor pony's has been driven around the bend, up the wall, and into madness! I hope you're proud of your poultry patriot games!"

Mehir shook his head.
"What? Eh?" he said.
Obviously, he didn't really see the reploid, nor did he notice that he was staring at him; he was probably reminiscing about something else entirely.
"I apologise," he continued, "I've been thinking of something else entirely."
He rubbed his beard and stared at Grey again, this time on purpose.
"Truth to be told," he said at length, "After what you told me I'm more than slightly worried... Mind control, illusions and the like are nasty things, especially if you're on the receiving end..."

Rey had observed this in silence, and only now lifted the visor of his helmet to pinch the bridge of his nose, growling something in Spanish under his breath. Even if the others didn't understand the exact words, it was clear he was not happy.

Chun-Li sighed as well, "Yeah, mind control is rather annoying."

She glared at the area in general, remembering her time as 'Road Warrior' and utterly disliking it. After all, she was in a sense under mind control during that time. Not exactly the best start to her adventures... that and getting shot by Vile right afterwards was horrible also.

"I'm still a bit worried 'Road Warrior' might still be in my head after that whole business with Megatron," Chun-Li frowned a bit, and crossed her arms. She looked around a bit, wondering if Vile was still around or had disappeared like Gunner.

Grey watched as Subaru - and then Fluttershy - set to work, the former saving the unfortunate anthropomorphic waterfowl and the latter trying to soothe the fuzzles. He faintly remembered that he still needed to ask Rey how he knew the blue haired mage, though judging by the tone of what the wrestler uttered, he probably wouldn't be receptive to such questions.

Apparently, Mehir hadn't been paying much attention to him. He had merely been looking in his direction. Now that the reploid had shaken him out of his thoughts, however, the man decided to talk to him. Chun-li joined in, having seemingly had experience with mind control.

"Yeah," said Grey finally. "I'm not sure Model W's mind control can be broken. I have to admit I was more focused on simply defeating the other Mega Men rather than trying to convince them not to fight... but then it was a matter of survival, trying to find out who I was, and saving the world. I just woke up in a lab, then Pandora appeared and declared me 'Defective'. I escaped, got rescued by the Hunters, and then..."

Grey abruptly cut himself off. "...Things happened."

Model A, meanwhile, had finally tired of floating around and returned to Grey, who hastily stuffed the Biometal into one of his pockets.

Mehir nodded. He drew his scimitar — the normal one, the one with the metal blade and a golden falcon head with ruby eyes for a pommel — and held it in a Reverse Grip, running his thumb's nail on its edge.
For a while, he was silent. When he talked again he focused his gaze on the sword.
"Once, I was sent to Mag Magar to help its army repel an invasion," he said quitely. "The invaders were Tharis — a race of cruel humans that were at that time totally unknown to us Summoners; they specialise in dark magic, and we've found that the hard way... One of their witches cast an illusion on me. I've murdered my own soldiers, men who followed me from the ramparts of Al-kajima loyally..."
Tears were streaming down his cheeks and into his beard. Obviously, he was deeply ashamed of the deed and its memory was quite painful to him.

Grey listened carefully as his comrade admitted a rather painful episode in his history. He felt sympathy for the older warrior, but he admitted to himself that he knew painfully little about comforting others - any such techniques he had gotten second hand, and that had been more about coaching him than making him feel better. It was another aspect of so called normality that he had been denied, though he had slowly been groping his way toward it at the end of his last adventure.

"There was nothing you could have done," said Grey in an almost painfully self-aware fashion. "You acted on what you knew at the time, and it happened to be wrong. You can't change the past, so work on the future."

" That's the spirit! See, it isn't hard to not go 'woe is me' all the ti - " said Model A, having made its' way out of Grey's pockets. Before it could expound on its' points further, the young Mega Man had shoved it back into his shorts' pockets.

Growling aggresively, the fuzzles struggled against their captor, trying to get back to Dodger's. That is, until a beautiful sound started. One by one the fuzzles stopped struggling until all 5 were fast asleep, snoring their little heads off.


Stranger's ears suddenly perked up at the sound of distant singing. Stranger wasn't one for kind words but there wasn't anyway to describe it besides beautiful. As he felt his anger leave he asked no one in particular, "What is that?"

Fluttershy brightly smiled when the fuzzles fell asleep from the lullaby. Very gently she took each fuzzle one by one out of Subaru's hands and balanced them on her back. "Would any of you mind helping me find basket to put these little darlings in?" she asked the others around her. "Maybe some blankets as well? And we're going to need material to build an enclosure for outside, maybe next to the front door? Has to be metal though....."

As she rattled off what was needed, she sounded sort of like a mother trying to furniture for her new baby rather than a person who recently adopted a litter of flesh eating monsters.

Rey watched Fluttershy with the creatures, after having taken in everything they'd done, and he moved over to her, looking down at the little creatures, crossing his arms as he stared at them.

"I'm trusting that you can keep those little things under control, then." There was a slight edge to his voice, whether it was anger or just stress, it was hard to tell, but even aside from the usual wrongness that came from him using his powered voice, he was clearly not in the best of moods.

I hope that this is OK with you, Flanker. Model A just hit Mehir's Berserk Button.
The scimitar fell to the ground with a metallic clang. Slowly, Mehir got up, his fists clenching and unclenching. His nostrils flared, the Summoner slowly walked toward Grey. He ripped Model A out of Grey's pocket violently and held it close to his face. If stares could kill (assuming the Biometal could die), Model A would've already been six feet under.
"Listen, and listen carefully," Mehir told it. "This isn't self-pity. I did a horrid, disgusting thing... Each of those people was a person; in some cases they were my friends... I was their commander, I was supposed to protect them and yet I murdered them... And you..." —he spat the word— "laugh about it. Do this again and I will open a gate and throw you to the Red Abyss."
The Summoner was dead serious; it was clear from the tone of his voice.

"It is not your fault because you couldn't have known," Chun-Li stated to Mehir, putting her hand on his shoulder. "That's the problem with illusions."

"There is no way to trust one's own senses," Chun-Li pointed out. "Much like mind control, it forces a person to do something that they would have never done otherwise."

"Now would you please put it back in Grey's pocket," Chun-Li had said, deadly serious herself. "He meant no harm."

Grey flinched reflexively as Mehir took Model A and drew his buster on instinct, though he hastily put it away once the initial instinctual reaction subsided. The Biometal could only get out a yelp before it was snatched away. " O-okay! I won't do it again, I-I swear! I-I was just t-talkin' to Grey and I d-didn't mean to i-insult you too...!"

If the situation had been different Grey would have noted the implication that Model A might have wanted to insult him, but as it was he settled for scrambling to his feet and staring at the scene. "...That's what you get for being rude, Model A."

" C-come on! We've fought together for s-so long now, G-Grey! You aren't g-gonna t-take his s-side over mine, are ya?"

"...Only if you promise not to do something like this again," said the teenage reploid, his tone making it clear that he wasn't going to budge.

" B-but..." said Model A feebly, but seeing that Grey clearly wasn't changing his mind the Biometal relented. Its' photoreceptors dimmed as it spoke. " F-fine. I promise not to do this again."

Grey sighed and adopted his best remorseful expression in an attempt to calm Mehir. "I'm sorry about that. Model A's got the mind of a kid, and he certainly has no concept of politeness. Just like me, then. "

Dodgers walked up to the Tick, seemingly coming out of nowhere, and totally back to normal (he even was back in his normal captain's suit). He raised an eyebrow and pointed to where Fluttershy had gone:

"Wait, so even if those little furballs tried to devour me, she still takes care of them?!"

And before the Tick could even ask how did he suddenly disappear and re-appear all back to normal, Dodgers said, contemplating his nails:

"We faded to black a couple of seconds ago. Always works."
