There was a small vibration that ran through the meeting, it caused glasses to knock against themselves and liquids to have a cool little ripple affect like in Jurassic Park. Don't mind all that though. It wouldn't turn into something bigger."I don't wanna wait... for our lives to be over..." Dill was only humming it at the moment because of Eric Cartman. You know when he beats that messenger down in his flashback? Good times. Good times. His spot wasn't too far from the Stars End Bar, which would make this all a bit more pressing to the people there than others. Hands would pause the
game playing over his small handheld to go to the main screen. Pressing the single icon that read 'PANIC!'. It started up. And immediately set off every alarm in the city. Just about. The alarm at the prison, the banks, the other hidden places people didn't know about. It was like one large wave of sound and panic happened in The Metro.When Emberclaw is about to talk the vibration comes. "What the hell was that?" Then he looks to Hochi. "We will work with the watch given the chance." Then to Liam. " It's the plan at least" He shrugs. "I haven't seen Rachael in awhile though and she was our main link to the watch." Then back to Hochi. "Not everything comes down to fighting though. Words need to be spoken. Signs need to be shown. There may be fighting but that should be a last resort unless violence is pushed too far too soon. Which it seems it will. We have to make due with what we have right now though. We can't wait to see if we have extra hands to help."

Dia raises an eyebrow at the vibration, and looks around, but doesn't do anything but tap on a fancy golden bracelet on her left arm. Mutters follow as that wrist is lifted to her mouth to make a whisper unheard. "I understand that words have to be spoken, and I hope things don't come to a fight. But I am worried about the next steps that this registration act is going to lead to." Hochi shrugs.

Liam sighed "With what I have seen, violence has already hit the city, multiple times over. What is the number 6-8 dead and two injured children?"

"There is more going on than we know. 'That' much Andu was willing to tell me from the one incident he personally saw happen. He made it clear that it was imperative that 'No One' act with out knowing more than we know.

Hochi looks at the one called Liam. "That many already? And this act is still in the baby steps." He shakes his head

"I realize that violence has already hit the city. We need to step up our game. Hit before they hit." Emberclaw looks to Hochi. "This has been the first chance for a meeting. And some members have been unseen." It was only a second later before the vibrations came back, and this time since the SEB was so close... it was sending glasses to the ground.

Liam says. "Im not sure proactivity will prevent violence like this..." The fact that the alarms were going off had him look up "odd"

"Do we know of their last location?" Hochi looks at Emberclaw then to Liam. "Yes, we need to show a presence at least. To show that Magic users are more protected then non magic users. I mean patrols in the more violent areas, not looking for a fight, just to show a presence."

Emberclaw stands up quickly and heads for the door. Slightly moving off course at the vibrations. "I think we'll have to pause this meeting for a moment." He heads out the door and looks down the street. Trying to see the cause of the commotion. Dia stands and follows Emberclaw with Liam right behind,placing a soft hand at his side. Then Hochi was following as well looking up and down the street. There -was- someone down the street. Looking a bit too calm as lamp posts upended and were tossed to the ground and glass broke. General chaos from an earthquake. Dillon went back to playing his game as this all occurred though. The idea that someone would actually, see him, was beyond his calculations. Noah moves quickly to follow the others out the door. Seeing Dill, Dia mutters a couple curse words under her breath. As Emberclaw see's the man he starts running towards him. "What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you feel this?" He was suspicious of the man. "You can't seriously just be messing with that thing on your wrist." He looks over as Dia curses. "You know him?"

The thing was, Dill was in the open. Charles was not. All black suit, with all black face paint, all black weaponry, everything. Sitting calmly on a rooftop watching Dillon, and laughing, just because of all the chaos. Hochi looks at the person down the street eyebrow raised. "I don't know the words, to the rest of this song... So I will keep singing to the same beat..."That's what Dill was doing as Emberclaw and his group ran up on him. Still playing his game
with the usual 8 bit sounds of pleasure coming out of it. He paused it again though and calmly looked back over to the group. "Hello." Warm grin there. Like he always had one. Gasp! Dill's warm grin was a fakey! "Oh, I am perfectly fine. But I have to say all of you are standing at the epicenter of a 6.3 on the Richter scale earthquake... Plus, there is... this." Spoken casually as the timing just was too perfect not to. That was when, another city, rose up
from underneath the one they were standing on. Buildings erupted in debris as -other- buildings from a much older Metro replaced them with a rapid rise from whatever depths Dillon was pulling them from. In fact, the were only spared the chaos because they were so close to the man. As the world, literally, turned around them. There was a nice circle of complete calm around the man. No asphalt was ruined, no concrete was turned. Of course some things might fall in, but comparatively to being in a building that just got buggered by another building, you know, it was okay. Once the chaos from -the few blocks around them- died down, and the architecture settled into it's new few thousand year old might not be human, facade, Dillon would speak out again through the smoke and chaos. "So you know, there is that..."

"I have seen recordings of him when Gaia and I were checking up on Andu. Can't say much, except that he is one seriously dangerous and not too well balanced a dude." That was from Dia. Liam chuckled a bit coming next to Ember silently.

Hochi looked around at the chaos surrounding them "What is going on here?" Charles moved quickly to not get disrupted by the rising city. a few quick leaps and soon he was behind dill silently, only the softest smirk playing on his face. Emberclaw frowns and switches into his Anthro form. He quickly moves towards Dill and takes a swipe at his face. Hoping to hit him. He'd attack first and ask the rest of his questions later. He was still wondering what the hell was up with the buildings coming up and how to fix it. Dia looks around for some place to duck into for a couple moments. While still muttering under her breath at the bracelet.

At the same time Ember was swiping at Dillon he pulled out a 9mm pistol and aimed, not only at Dillon, but at the man landing behind him. Hochi let the others do the attacking as he stood back and waited. "Ahh!" Dill exclaimed. Of course, the idea of someone actually happening on him was out of his mind. The pure thought of someone attacking him was beyond belief. It him him square in the face, claws rending flesh and sending him back sharply. Something he recovered from in a roll on the street that had him kneeling. Well, he -did- need to excavate a bit more. And he had to deal with this group. Might as well combine the two. "Not bad... My turn however." Rumbled as he stood up slowly. He already knew where everyone was. All the innocents in the area had been moved away from weeks of Dillon's 'I bought your place and moved you into a better place' relocation program. Sorry the guy who makes the names for things wasn't there that day. He snapped, once. Odd in the air and the fact he had a group looking at him in a weird
mix of anger and confusion. But in the bay, behind him, there was a container ship that had been sitting out there for months now. Months. No one noticed those things because, well, a container ship being unloaded and loaded again is sometimes that happens. It was the length of four football fields, and weighed ten thousand tons fully loaded, which it was. Dillon, threw this at them. The whole ship was lifted from the water like it was nothing and sent, ACROSS the small bit of city in the air like it was tossing a football. This is what landed on top of the new small city Dillon had just made. By his own actions, it would hit the ground behind him and -flip- over them all like they were ants watching a foot come down on them... but it would miss them all entirely. But then again, -they- didn't know that.

Dia sighs and shrugs and speaks clearly for the first time."Just do it now, Gaia."She is immediately surrounded by a column of blue light. And when the column fades, a figure in vaguely Gothic blue and green armor with a golden shield, staff and cape is standing where she was. Hochi shifted into his very large polar bear form as he darted toward Fallen and Liam shoving them away, he roared loudly as if telling them to run. Charles was only there to observe Dill and what was going on. And well he was now dealing with the guy that was pointing the gun at him. His face was merely a mask of darkness as he moved fast towards Liam, his right arm already grabbing the aiming hand and working towards disarming him. Hochi looked up and stared at the large container ship coming toward them. He would swipe at Dill to wrap him up in a bear hug.

Liam couldn't run as he was dealing with the seemingly angry assailant. A single pull of the trigger was all he could get off before he was on the ground.Emberclaw darted forward trying to get ahead of the ship. Of course the ship hitting the ground got him off balance and he got tripped up landing on his knee's before jumping up and moving forward again. He paid no heed to Hochi. That wasn't his plan. He fixes his mind on a fiery ball that he would
send at Dill. Valkyrian kneels and braces, looking around quickly, considerably. Charles stood over top of Liam , the blank black mask allowing no emotion to penetrate. The 9mm was kicked away. "Little boys shouldn't play with guns." He spoke towards the man before moving back to his original position.

No one really was in a position to ask, hey, what was in those containers that container ship Dillon just threw at us? Dillon understands the confusion this must all be causing, since he was using it to run away. Just as Hochi came in at him a container would smash down between them, cutting off direct access. The same container that Emberclaw's ball of fire would smack into. Dillon was already in a light backwards motion. A curl of a grin on his face as he paced back through the, well, hellish war-zone he had turned this place into. Another snap of fingers, and all those fallen containers that were strewn about the area would suddenly collapse. Walls falling down to reveal what their cargo was. Humanoid metal figures, seven foot tall. Composed of
gears, and steel, and two red dots for eyes. That suddenly all blinked on as thousands of red dots penetrating the cloud of smoke surrounding the area. And, they would all begin to close in on the group Dillon was pacing away from. "Don't kill them..." A last command to his robotic army (told you he had one) as he began to dip into his sensors to look for what he came for.

With a voice amplified to just short of painful, Valkyrian speaks calmly, commandingly."Guardians! STOP!" The polar bear roared as he went to run around the large container, ignoring the loud voice shouting at them to stop... Hey Charles wasn't a Guardian. Nor was he apart of Dillons plan. But he did simply move away following Dillon silently. Dillon would probably be able to tell who it was too.

Emberclaw blinks and stops to turn and look at Valkyrian. "What the hell are you talking about? He's causing chaos here. We're a vigilante group. We're supposed to take care of these kinds of things." Liam was panting for breath on the ground. He just got his butt kicked by an unknown man.

"There is no one living but us, and Dill, and Charles near here." That was Valkyrian, the voice of logic.

Charles says "Hey a robot army." His voice was overly hidden. He was liking this new gear he got. A soft not towards Dillon as he ended up joining him by his side. Emberclaw blinks at that news and then the robots were coming. Claws tore at the machines hoping to get through them. Fire magic was surrounding him in an inferno. Here and there they would definitely get through his defenses, but he would keep fighting until he was dead or they
were. The polar bear stopped at looked at the metal figures, Terminators? He looked up at where Charles was roaring approvingly as he charged at the robots as he swiped at the head of one and then dove and tackled another ripping at the head with his fangs. There was a nude-ish blur and then...for a brief moment... a pause of nakedness. Yes, fair folk of the Stars End Bar... you are being flashed. It was kind of one of those things...if you blink you miss it... and then she was gone as quickly as she had come. Yep that was odd. Valkyrian defends herself, violently, destructively as the two groups collide outside and a couple blocks away from the SEB. Her staff smashing into the first robot that reachers her and discharging a bolt of lightning right into it's innards. Sighs and shakes her head. This was the WRONG PLACE to do this.

Let's call them clockwork terminators because Dill had to build all of of them with what he could find at his local radio shack and hardware dispensary. Which explained why some of them might have the facets of a blender or other appliance. But they had hands that ended in long metal claws, that they would try to swipe and stab into any flesh they found. They moved slow, but in one beat that they all heard. And while you might swipe down one, ten
more would be behind it to give you a workout. They parted in the growing crowd to let Dillon pass, as well as Charles. To whom Dillon would lightly comment to. "You are not supposed to be here..." But it was more humorous than anything else. He just liked it when a plan came together. Now he was also smoking a cigar, from the Hannibal reference. Still tapping on his screen calmly, despite the horrible sounds coming from behind him. He paced up to a destroyed building on top of a destroyed building, and marked the first location. As he paced away, four thick metal cables would slam down behind him from the night air and dig into the ground.

Liam had summoned his black katana, slicing through as many robots as he could. Charles just kept with Dillon. "I'm never supposed to be anywhere technically, just thought I'd come see the fireworks." Smirking as he pulled off the mask "Good to see you too." He laughed a bit. After the first, Valkyrian kneels and raises her shield over her head. It creates a Dome if lightning to fry the attacking robots and through them back from her. Hochi turned snarling swiping the head off another robot sinking his teeth into another not knowing that three jumped onto his back sinking those blades into his back angrily. A swiped from a robot caught Emberclaw's stomach leaving three bleeding furrows in his stomach. He roared and attacked more vigorously. He noticed the flashing and then the cables. Still wondering what was happening, but the more the robots attacked the less time he had to think.

Hochi roared standing on his hind legs roaring trying to shake off the robots on his back they only dug their claws deeper into his body soaking his fur with blood. Valkyrian was cheating though.She lets the robots approach and fry themselves on her STormShield, while she uses the various sensors and scanners built into her system to try to figure out what is going on behind the 'Big Fight Scene'. The Dill-bots wouldn't kill, they would wound. But they were surgical in where they put their fingers. Which was saying something in this town. And it looks like Dillon anti-enticement drugs are working wonderfully. Behind it all, was Dillon. Calmly pacing away as those four cables -clenched- and took an entire load of ground with it as they retracted up into the waiting belly of... a plane, that was hovering their soundlessly but had to lower it's hover to tear up this seemingly useless chunk of rock and debris. It flew off once it was fully retracted, like the cargo hanging off of it was nothing. Dillon was already over what was left of the city to mark out a second location, then a third, then a fourth. The same thing happening. Cables entered the ground, tore up an enormous chunk of ground, and lifted it to a hovering twin engine dropship. This is what he was doing while people were getting cut up, and all those poor robots were going to robot heaven.

Hochi falls onto three robots crushing them with his 1 ton weight. He lept onto another three as he rolled onto his back and then back to his feet. He crushed the bots on his back as he stood on his hind legs looking for Dill until three robots sliced into his stomach. Valkyrian wanted to get a closer look at one of those 'cargo masses', but she doesn't dare drop her shield with the robots still attacking. Hochi landed on his feet dazed slightly as he
swiped sending robot bits everywhere as he swung wildly using his massive paws to cause massive damage. Emberclaw continues to fight the robots. He was helpless to attempt to see what was up with the plane taking bits and pieces, but there would be time later. Right now the roar of battle was filling his ears and the dance of the claws was all he could feel.

Hell to pay, that was what the smith had in mind when Kruger finally made the meeting. There were too many things happening at once, one thing he knew though and that was there would be plenty of metal for the forge fires tomorrow. Hammers flew from holders and the wide shouldered smith made his presence known. "The anvil is here to fight!" For that one techie in the group, much respect. Those seemingly useless of rock and dirt were covering, something. Something that sent sensors into a schizophrenic insanity. They might have even rippled reality a bit in what they were, but that was so hard to see with all the chaos going around. When the last load lifted off and broke the sound barrier without a peep, Dillon would finally exhale lightly. Looking back to the small war he's started. Hmm. The call from Kruger was what did it, he did what any smart person would do in this situation... he -ran-. The robots would live on and fight in his name but their liege was scooting the hell out of there. He got what he wanted. But now
the robots would close ranks and come in as one. Shoulder to shoulder, even if it meant leaping onto the woman's shield or Emberclaw's claws just to tangle them up. Burying them in the weight of metal and flax seed intelligence. Their weight of numbers was impressive, but the addition of Kruger coming from the side opened up a hole that could be exploited. The Dill-bots (trademarked) had to come somewhat one at a time, while the group could kill them wholesale. A break was seen in the flow, their numbers coming slower then they had been just moments ago. But the night was still thick with rows on rows of red dots looking at them. A few got the good idea to pounce Kruger at once, in an attempt to weigh him down. Sacrificing themselves so their brethren could try to find purchase with finger daggers into flesh.

Hochi roared loudly as he heard Kruger. Valkyrian sighs and attempts to ignore the yelling and chaos and make some sense of the data her Magic, Tech, and Technomagic scanners are bringing in. Hochi charged at the lined up robots angrily crashing into the line of Robots smashing and crushing angrily they jumped onto the Polar bear plunging their claws into him. Armor piercing spikes would lead his assault as Kruger tried to fight his way toward Ember. A song on his lips bawdy and light punctuated by the sounds of armor being punched into. The Roar of Hochi had him raising his song louder and changing directions. "I knew a gal with a battle scarred face she made love at a sailors pace!"

Emberclaw turns and grins seeing Kruger. "Good to have you here Kruger!" He calls this out before continuing his assault on the robots. "OOF!!" Valkyrian's kneel becomes more of a fetal position under her shield as the sheer weight of fried and dead metal accumulates on top of it.Hochi roared at Kruger then roared toward the woman under the shield. He whined in pain and another claw dug into his sides as he tried to move toward the large shield smashing robots along the way. He attempted to help the lady by knocking robots and rubble off of the shield ignoring the sheering pain from the robots trying to skin him alive. From beneath the pile of metal comes some rather loud cursing, then a couple rays of blue light. Seconds later that column of blue light is seen to form 'behind' the rows of metal forms. Leaving behind it the same armored figure,Valkyrian, that raises it's staff with a muttered oath. Calling forth a chain of lightening to leap at the nearest robot, and from it to another, and another, and...and another, her muttering growing in volume, and for, probably the first time ever taking on a very angry note. And since it was a chain lightning spell, well, it kept jumping. And jumping. And Dillon used that time to coincide with their natural self kill programs. As one just as the lightning was affecting them, they said 'Goodbye!'in a sort of ending shutdown jingle and those red eyes died as one. Their forms slouching, or falling where they may... and soon, silence began to overtake the area once again.

Emberclaw starts to push towards Kruger to help his friend. Fighting off whatever got in his way. Sharp pains as claws caught him at times on his way over. He noticed Hochi had Valkyrian handled. So he could safely head for Kruger and help him out.Then the forms were all dieing and he stoppedlooking about. The smith took on those who came to him, eyes taking in all things at once and processing them as best he could. Kruger didn't speak polar bear but he could assume that Hochi was asking him to protect the woman. The robots hit him hard and the smith went down under them, but he would swing and fight on. The pair of spiked hammers hitting one in the chest. Kruger yanked to them sideways to open up whatever lay beneath. The first of the daggers took him in the hip but his frenzy was on. With the 'ending' of the Robots, Valkyrian slams her staff into the ground, cutting off the lightening.

Hochi roared loudly trying to shake off the robots on his back then he saw Kruger go down. He roared even louder turning from the shield charging at Kruger to come to his rescue. There were still robots clung onto his back and sides, his usual white and green fur now covered in crimson. From beneath the pile the voice still could be heard. "I knew a girl what a frilly lass..she often teased and shook her..." whatever else Kruger said was muffled beneath the roar of a polar bear...probably a good thing. The aid that came was enough to put him to rising, he was in a state he knew well...
bloody and boisterous. Emberclaw reaches a hand out to pull Kruger up. "Always good to have you Kruger. Though we lost him." Frowning he looks around at the others. "I'm going to call off this meeting for now. Just look for a missive sometime soon. We'll continue it." Hochi smashed a robot andtried to shake the creatures off of his back angrily making sure Kruger was alright. His breathing was heavy as he stood there letting the deactivated
robots fall off of his body a couple still had their claws dug into his body.

As Valkyrian works her way back to the group, a beeping sounds from her bracelet. Once it is lifted to her ear, she is once again muttering curses, many of which refer to Dill and his genetic background. The smith gave grateful nods to Hochi and Ember. "But the meeting was just getting good...ain't been stabbed in weeks." He looked around at all the free armor that would soon be gracing his shop. "I won't have to work for weeks." He let out a laugh that matched his mood. "Tell me what the hell just happened though.

"What 'Just' happened was that scumbag Dillion 'beat feet' to the current venue of the 'Friday Fight Night' and is trying to look like he has been there all night.

Emberclaw laughs with Kruger. "Don't fully know myself. The ground started shaking. A city came up and we got attacked. Quite the interesting night." He shifted to his human form and winced at all the cuts and bruises he'd have along with the 3 long and slightly deep cuts on his stomach. "Seems I need bandaged up." Hochi turned his head and grabbed the claw with his mouth and ripped it out of his body painfully. He looked towards the Valkyrian as he sat down breathing heavily.

"The robots were just a distraction. He had very high tech planes retrieve four objects from the rubble of the city." That was Valkyrian.

The smith gave Valkyrian a nod of thanks for the help and looked back at Ember. "You ought to get that looked at soon bud...theres no tellin bout infections." This from the guy bleeding from dagger marks along his torso. "I got away clean...don't mind the blood...it aint from me."

"The SEB, or what is left of it, should have a first aid kit, possibly even more." That was Valkyrian.

(This is where I'll cut it off the stuff from chat. Sorry if the rip was bad. Tired and whatnot)

(Thank you to Hochi Banto, Dill T Jones, Valkyrian, Dia Solari, Kruger, Leoni Lupin, Charles Blackstone, Rebellious One, and Noah Shimmerscale)
