((Well, that was the point. Kinda hard to build a long tunnel when a huge forcefield that vaporizes equipment gets in the way.))
The Mark I Alpha Prototype scanned the area over and over, attempting to lock onto the incoming enemies. However, it had not been programmed to identify maneuvers or any such intelligence.
However, it HAD been programmed for mass killage.
Its arms transformed into what appeared to be mini-miniguns. It crossed the weapons, and started firing around and around, more for suppression than for actual damage.
((Sooo...the heroes gonna move in sometime soon? I don;t wanna get ahead of the story here. A larg mech incinerating entire parts of the forest is abound to draw attention, so I'm not sure if I want to kill a good chance at meeting up. 
))

((Not even a mech. Imagine human-size body of an entire suit of armour, but is alive. But yeah... I suppose the heroes should skip the entire long trip to the island... I doubt they would have anything to worry about but motion sickness.
You can tell 2.0 will have that now, can't you.))
Experiment flew forward, as a few blasts of energy proceeded to fly by him and the group. He swerved to avoid another, but could not help frowning. He called to the people behind him loudly.
"Whoever is here is not using everything against us. I think we have more of a distraction than whoever was on that ship. I think--"
The Mark I turned, and bolted at 2.0 directly. A fist to the face of the hero sent him barreling downward.
"Oww..." he groaned as he hit the water.
Static grabbed the heavy Workout Man and the two flew up to the island. "What's that?" Static looked out over at where the unkown mech was destroying the forest. "We got trouble Cap'n Crunch!"
Kaos looked around. "Hmm. This can't be good." He quickly tried activating his short range teleporter, aiming to teleport right next to an unsuspecting 2.0....
However, the Mark I's scanners picked up the interferance in the air, and fluidly turned from his uppercut to 2.0's face to a super-enhanced roundhouse kick at Kaos' head.
Kaos flew back into the water, seemingly knocked out. His henchmen however, fired full auto on the threat.
The android did not seem as strong as it looked.
The first few bullets hit the thing, and its armour cracked instantly. It exploded in an electric current, pulsing around it, as parts of its structure blew off.
The head finally exploded, and the thing fell uselessly into the water, along with 2.0, who was now floating face up.
"Hmm... Well, you are lucky. If you hadn't have shot it..." came the ominous voice, now new to 2.0 and the 'gang'. "Oh, finally, Experiment... I was wondering when you and your 'friends' would get here... However, I would LOVE to know how you even managed to get insi- Oh..."
A turret aimed at the FF Generater, and a chuckle emenated from the... Well, wherever the voice was coming from. "Oh, that is priceless... You altered the programming of one of my FFGs?! Hah..."
*FZZT*
A blast of pure energy fired, ripping through the force-field, and destroying the generator.
"Aaah... So priceless..."
Now, there was no way in.
Or out, really. But then, that is so cliche'.
((So evil. So cliche. So doomed!))
Static Therapy ran up to Mark I, mostly because he was resistant to the electricity. He quickly hit it with a massive thunderstrike attack. "DIE HIDEOUS CREATION!"
Workouit Man super sped for the island.
((...Uh... The Mark I is kind of... Dead already. What with the limbs and head exploding and stuffz...))
The Alpha 1 Prototype suddenly found itself confronted with a single figure, apparently walking out of its carnage unharmed.
"Hey, buster!" Allen smiled, having dropped his cloak for now, and thumped a fist on his chest, "Right here! Gimme your best shot...!"

"He's dead!"
((Will Workout Man hit a force field?))
((...Hehe... Nope... However, not far from the 'disappear point', so... Who knows, eh?
That is correct. I do. Brownie points to you!))
". . . Are we there yet?" Hal quipped as he flew across the water. Surely they were nearing the island by now. . .
Experiment rose from the water, soaking wet. "Okay, Hal, you wanna go ahead and tell us if it is safe?"
However, they soon found out. As Workout Man neared the island, three turret emplacements, cloaked from view, became easy to see, and fired at the hero with all types of weaponry, mainly missiles and energy blasts, but also a flamethrower or two.
"...I think the 'disappear zone' just got passed."
"I'm on it," said Hal. Blasts of light were shortly firing at the turrets from Hal and his illusion, as the Phantasm dodged the attacks expertly. . .
((*pokes the prototype, wondering if it's still online*))

A drone proceeded to fly under the flyers, directly to the destroyed android. Picking it up, as well as the seperated arms, legs, and needed pieces of the head, it started back in the direction of the island, ignoring everyone else.
Meanwhile, the turrets proceeded to fire at Hal, missing by far because of the Phantasm.
"Ugh... Useless turrets... I swear, I don't know why I have those things... All they do is waste money." came the voice, seemingly bored, "Oh well. I suppose they keep you people a little busy."
One of the turrets were hit by a blast of light, sending the grenade it was about to fire back into it, therefore blowing the thing up.
"...Hm. Nice shot, Hal." muttered 2.0.
Kaos stood up. "Mystic mastermind, I propose a cease fire, while we both kill 2.0 and his comrades."
Workout Man clumsily tripped trying to dodge the blasts. Quickly getting up again he raced for the island, moving so fast he was a blur. Also he tried to zig zag left and right to avoid the blasts.
A small drone fired from the base in a cannon-fired capsule. It streaked toward Kaos, slamming into the ground, and unpacking automatically.
"No, I do not think so." The drone aimed at Kaos with its blaster arm. "Please leave my island."
((Hmmm...okay then...))
As the Makr I alpha reared back and trained its guns on Allen, he only grinned fiendishly. Not a moment later, the gattling cannos chattered to life again, turning the entire area into swiss cheese, throwing dirt, grass, and rocks everywhere.
But Allen was already gone again. He'd only been the distraction. As he came out of teleport next t one of his troopers, he was glad to see the other one already on the mech's back.
Not half a second later, a cloud of black smoke burst from the robot, completely enveloping it. The mastermind in the mountain suddenly lost all feeds to his prototype. To him, it would now seem as if it no longer existed.
The cloud of black smoke, however, had a very different opinion...

The figure slumped in his seat. He spoke into the announcer calmly. "That was depressing. Overkill much, huh guys?"
Meanwhile, the turrets fired relentlessly at Hal's Phantasm and Workout, every blast missing by inches. However, it seemed as though they were missing on purpose.
One turret popped out of a secreted area in the trees, firing at the rest of the heroes and villains that had come with Experiment. 2.0 moved out of the way of the blast rather easily. "Okay, people... Shall we get moving?"
"Yes," Hal said, his Phantasm carrying him forward. "Come on! We're wasting time!"
Experiment flew forward, waving for the others to follow. "Come on! Once we get to the shore, it shouldn't be too hard to find the way to-"
*CRASH*
*SMASH*
"...Okay, what the hell was that?" he muttered, landing softly on the ground as the noises approached the area. In the distance, trees could be seen either flying into the air, or being smashed down, heading toward where 2.0 had just landed.
"...Oh christ."
((Lost here too.))
((Bloody school! *Shakes fist*))
((Actually, I was wondering where the tunnel ended.
the way it was described, it seemed to come ou right in the middle of the ocean. 
))
Allen's ears twitched as he heard something - and then a large swath of forest was cut down in the distance.
He stopped...looking...listening...sniffing...
When he was sure no one was about, which would have been remarkable as his senses were near-impossible to elude - stemming from a Dark World did hav its advantages - he connected to his troopers via short-range hypercom.
A few words were exchanged as Allen pulled his binoculars and eyed the mech. Yeah, this was WAY better than a few old turrets.
A few orders went across, then Allen cut the channel. No more were necessary.
Within minues, the troopers were back at his side.
[Flanking positions.] he signaled to them, [Take it in a pincer.]
[Roger.]
[Understood.]
The three fanned out once more.
Yes, this was most certainly much better than a turret...
