Sean's group
As Riks friends came to his aid the bots in the front two lines braced themselves, making a wall of bots each one linked in arms while the end ones placed their free hands onto the wall. This as they sunk into the floor to their knees meant the charge from the bolt was sent along the line ranks and into the walls, where it disapated into the fortress.
The wall of bots also took the blunt of the wind, allowing those behind it to jump onto the walls away from the down quicksand like floor. The odd few jumping onto the front line bots shoulders making the wall that bit taller, and providing yet more cover.
With a great whriling hum the rooms ceiling shifted and opened up to show a swam of Tronoz Drones, fifty of them in total.
"Anyone else feel like we just walked into a trap?" Sean asked taking a step away from Next Dimension as he morphed into his nova form.
Catz/Molly
At the end of the corridor now was a closed door, and the eirey slience was suddenly broken by the sounds of fighting beyond the door.

Catz wasn't to far behind Molly, but was waving a spare robot arm around like a big kid "Wow. Any ideas what happened in here... Looks like Tin-man had a bit of a fight on his hands."
Her footsteps echoed around the corridors behind them from her heeled boots.

"Here's hoping whatever happened, he didn't get recycled." Molly mutter as she drew her rifle. A precaution, if anything. "And yeah, I know that was bad."
The sudden sounds of conflict beyond the door took her by surprise. Swiftly turning to point her rifle at it, the teen genius then rushed over its side, seeking a means to open it.
"Hey, uh... you might wanna get over here, you know? Not gonna help at all, standing there, making yourself open to whatever's on the other side, you think?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

As the drones began to swarm down, Next Dimension began to unleash energy blasts above the heads of his colleagues. Unfortunately his accuracy wasn't particularly good and only hit 2 of the drones, as they swarmed onwards.
Rik grined his best nasty grin and looked at the base of the wall of bots , and made up down and down up , ((earthquake)) , then sharing the grin with the flyers made fly a non-option ((snowstorm)) ...
"ok lets go play somewhere else , these are too easy .."
Sean's Group
As the bolts flew past the drones, they swamed down lower, each one deploying it's guns and shooting at the group of heroes, the green pulses seem to not be aimed but more just a barrage of shots in a hope that most would hit at least part of a target. As the Drones were buffed by Rik's attack they seem to attempt to resist it the best their twin rotar blades could, with a few failing and falling to the ground.
The bots also being affected by the quake seem to grin evily as they tried to steady themselves.
Suddenly the door behind the group slammed shut and the vents began to hiss as a gas started to be released.
"OK.. Bugger this.. time for me to pull out the new mode." Sean said tapping something on his gloves.
With that his suit seem to give of a hiss and a liquid seem to pour out from it's joints and pads, Sean once this had happend charged forwards much faster than normal ((hasten)) with his blades deployed and jumped down into the room, taking out three bots on his landing.
Molly/Catz
The sound of battle seem to continue getting louder slowly before suddenly the impresson of a bot face came into the door, followed by serveal more dents then the eire slience again. The control panel next to the door seem to spark a few times then the power to it cut off.
With that two fist dents appeared suddenly in the door before the door was sent flying out from it's frame leaving a dust trail behind it. As the dust cleared there stood what appeared to be one of the Assasionbot, however this one seem much more advanced and was holding a bot head under it's arm.
The drones pulse shots turned out to be alot more accurate than Next's own shots; as his Nova form was pounded by the barrage. The squid form bucked backwards and fell to the platform in a flash, leaving an unconcious lifeless human formed Rufus lying there.
Red grabbed and threw several of the sticky EMP grenades at the line of Robots giving Sean some cover distracting them for a few second before throwing himself on the ground, his Kevlar clattering against his Assault Rifle, he began firing at the leg joints of the robots to try and topple and immobolise some.
"If ve need to pull back, I vill drop ze mines..."
Rik started to laugh , a surprisingly worryingly nasty sound , that seemed to [censored] some deep felt fear in those that heard it .Rik whole body shimmered and seemed to slightly fade and step out of focus ((steamy mist)) , and then a deep glow appeared at his feet , and with unfathomable velocity he charged in after Sean ....Mr Lumps followed right on Rik's heels ..
Bounding into the room , his laughter keeping to a single tone , Rik arrived to Seans left , he aimed up on the line of Bots , his fist started to punch and jab at inhuman frequencies , strange fume like emissions surrounding each blow ((sands of Mu and flurry with hasten running )) ..having made a space and letting Mr Lumps crush some of the metal foes ..Rik unleashed waves of corrosive energies on the bots ((volcanic gases)) .....and the monotonic laughter rolled on and on across the room . . .
((double post , bad PC )) 
Molly winced in surprise as the door burst open, opening her eyes soon after only to see the robot ahead of her.
"Uh... oh..." She quietly announced before carefully raising her rifle in the vain hope that it hadn't quite spotted her yet...
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Sean's Group
Sean noticed Riks landing and Reds EMP grenades land and set off focing the wall of bots to colapse down, tiwing and jerking about as the EMP shorted them out. However now the Swam of Drones had switched their targets, and down swooped down at the rest on the bottom floor letting off more shots and nose diving at the group in a kamikaze fashion.
The bots from behind the down wall charged in, as Sean set about slicing and slashing his way into them. Leaving bits of bots flying off behind him and stabbing the odd one.
Molly/Catz
The bot dropped the head then glanced at the two before it, then to the rifle pointing at it.
"WOAH! Ok ok.. Don't shot! It's me it's me!" The bot said pleasding with Molly it's arms out infront of it waving manicly, its voice seem very much like that of Coms.
Rik stepped in behind Mr Lumps , using him as a sheild , his laughter now become a conter point to the crashing sounds of fists on metal ...
glancing about he redirected his other "friends " back into the fight ..((tornado & lighting storm )) ...and refreshed the floors new phase state ..((quicksand))
Molly blinked momentarily, shortly before lowering her rifle carefully, just enough so that she could bring it back up quickly if anything turned nasty.
"The hell?" Molly asked as she then leaned forward to peek past the door. "And where's everyone else?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Sean's Group
With Rik's 'friends' yet again battling the remainning bots they quickly fell, leaving only the Tronoz drones behind, which were now shooting at Sean.
Each hit his armour seem to get slightly more and more damage to it, using his blades to sheild his visor he took as many as he could before tripping over on a piece of bot.
Due to the wind blasts the Drones coudln't manage to do aimed shots so again it was a simple barrage of shots, with every few moments another drone falling to the floor too badly damaged to continue.
Molly/Catz
With the rifle dropping down and Molly peering about the side of the bot to see the room, it lowered it's arms.
"You two almost shot me then.." turning it's head around to see where Molly was looking, ".. Huh guess I should of let you know I was coming." The bot said calmly before continuing.
"Maybe I should explain, It's me Coms, I've.. borrowed this prototype bot from their labs to help, guess they didn't expect it to get up and walk off so I had a small fight on my hands, lucky for me this bot body seems to be more advanced than the rest, but it had no memory program so it was easy to hack into it." Coms bot said turning about and stepping back into the room. "The last I knew Sean and co were in the lower labs areas, and you two are here, upper labs, near the computer core room, wheres the other one?"
The form of Rufus lay flat out on his back, his 'costume' patchy due to the forced unconcious transformation back into human form.
Get up something deep within him commanded.
His eyes sprang open, glowing furious white; the glow spread quickly over his body, returning the detail to the costume, and forming a bubble around the figure.
Straight from the floor he rose, arms outstretched, and arched his back as he focused his energy ([Build Up]).
Accelerating forwards he clenched his fists and slammed through first one, then another and another drone; spinning and opening his palms releasing waves of energy blasts into each drone he could see.
Not seeing any more, the glow dimmed, the bubble faded; and the momentarily empowered form of Rufus fell, slumping back into unconciousness on the floor in the room - next to his teammates.
Catz rubbed the back of her head, she was having another of those blonde moments "So wait, we're not going to take his head off because it's Coms?...And it knows Sean?..."
She shakes her head and shrugs "And if you're looking for Tinman...or Inf, He flew off ahead without saying a word."
Sean's Group
With the last of the drones dealt with Sean called out.
"Hey.. erm guys.. a hand here?" he said holding up his arms infront of him.
As Sean did the far wall of the room gave a rumble as it split about half way up and the now two bits sank away to so yet another room, this one seem to be barely lit however as far as they could see was row after row of what appeared to be some sort of pods, which were providing the light in the room. Just barely made out on the far side of the large room was the figure of a bot, wearing what appeared to be a lab coat.
Molly's Group
"Please.. I like my head to stay attached to it's body." Coms-bot said starting to walk off, "Main computer Core is this way, as with the corridor leading to the lift to the command deck."
Coms-bot continued to walk, waving it's hand for the others to follow it. The room had the dmaged from the battle, bits of bot littered the floor, and the odd few were in holes in the wall, one was stuck in the wall with a fist size hole in it's head. Past the two lab tables and a chair was another door, locked shut.
Catz followed slowly, looking around at the mess and raising an eyebrow "Looks like a Hurricane hit here..." She hovered up to the robot in the wall and pulled it out "And looks like rusty here took a nice blow to the head."
She carefully placed him on the floor with a 'clunk!'

Red Commissar raised his Assault Rifle wearily at the lab coat wearing robot, turning his head to face Sean.
"I have feelink zis iz different from ze bots ve have fought so far Sean man. Rik cover us just in case da?"
" 10/4 Red , i has your back .."
Rik and Lumps move to the left to open a wide field of fire if the need arose ..
" Sean you the Tech brain whats the call here "
Sean's Group
Sean looked to the bot tapping his face guard buttons, his visor seem to switch and have a line flash across it.
"Thats XYY-004, at least I think it is.. suggest we take him out befo-" Sean said getting cut off by ducking out of the way as a clipboard shot by his head and implanted itself in the wall.
The bot, XYY-004, stood in the darkness glaring over at the group at the door for a moment then charged in, vaulting over the pods and head striaght at the group at quite a fast speed.
Molly's Group
Coms bot looked at the lock panel keypad for a moment.
"You want me to try every possible code to open it? or rip it out from the wall?" It asked turning it's head to one side so it could see the other two with one eye.
((Note: Extended yet again people, why because it now so damn close to end it would be a shame to kill it now, basicly only a few more things to do and then it's complete. PM if you want advance warning.))
Rik smiled at the advancing bot , and madethe floor to change its cohesion matrix ..((quicksand)) , and then dropped a mass of relocated matter on the bot ..((fossillze)) ....
"oh Red double taps i think "
Molly peered at the lock panel for a moment, then looked up at Coms.
"Uh, pulling out's gonna risk some undesirable effects, and this thing might have one of those measures where three wrong codes lock it completely... sure you don't want me to have a pop at cracking it?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Next Dimension floated forward, his eyes glowing with anticipation.
"Mind your eyes, going Nova" he declared as his form shrunk down into a point of light and then burst outwards in a flash, leaving the floating tentacled squiddy.
He gave a nod and waited.
