Yeah, but yours ran off of pure awesome. Also, it took me a hell of a lot longer to perfect it.
Anyway, Operation: Deluge seems to have been a smashing success up to this point, except the pissed off smoke thing starts breaking the plexiglass, so the Major's all "Fuck this shit, we're leaving", and she grabs the sword and they run for it just as it busts out.
They are stalked through the building by it, and get trapped in the safe room. While the Doctor and Major Kusanagi hack the door, Sagi fights it. Sagi is lucky enough to have Holy shit on him (because otherwise that would have been one hell of a boss fight for you guys), and he manages to cut it to shreds. The smoke reforms into Cloud, who looks like an actual human sans his fucked up eyes and the gigantic ominous black wings sticking out of his back, and a blue crystal type thing embedded in his spine between his shoulder blades. He is almost entirely unresponsive.
Meanwhile, Megaman and Protoman have chosen a different route up, and notice that the city is suddenly much closer than it was before. Also, it's really fucking dark out, and there is no sound coming from it. The streets fill with fog, and the power is out.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Cloud gets dragged back to the hotel. On the way back, they find the city almost entirely abandoned. On the way, the group gets separated.
Mindfucks ensue for our unlucky stragglers.
Except for Major Kusanagi. She discovers that attempting to leave leads her to the edge of a cliff with a seemingly bottomless drop.
Cloud is at the lowest point of his life, having even failed to kill himself via incineration that melted fucking stone (teh epic failz lolololol). He is extremely uncooperative, partially due to still being in shock over a shitload of mindrape, not actually knowing as much as they think they do, and just wanting to be left alone. The Major tries to kill him and fails. Cloud flies off somewhere in the city and brings back pottery from the museum that was displaying his sword, but they already found this pottery ages ago, so he is useless and fails hard as usual. He then flies off, having no idea what to do next. In-fighting flares up momentarily, as the Major is understandably a little pissed that they're suddenly treating this bioweapon that tried to kill them like a person, and Snake and Marno are understandably a little pissed that he is both being uncooperative and that the Major tried to kill a possible lead, and the Doctor is understandably a little pissed that they won't leave him alone for a little bit.
Then they hear gunshots. The power goes back on. They find a building not far from where they are that Sanford has just entered. They follow him in, and a shootout ensues.
The Doctor's cell phone goes off because Meggers calls it, they are caught, and a guy has just lunged for a Big Red Button.
And now you're caught up!
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistIt was brave of you to recap this insane plot, Spaz. Well done.
