Outskirts

[Gravitos Imperium]

Out a somewhat safe distance from Robotropolis was a dark violet hedgehog. This dimensional merge had ruined his life. Despite it wasn't the best of one, it was better than having to fight for your life every second of the day. He wanted to get as far away from this place as he can.

Out off sheer luck, he managed to escape the wretched clutches of the mad doctor and was now wandering the outskirts in search of information. On his back was a golden-yellow scabbard. This was actually two that were specially made. They crossed together in an "x" shape and housed his twin blades, the straps fitting comfortably on his chest crossed like the scabbards. His hands placed themselves in his black pants while he kicked a rock with his dual-toned, red and blue shoes. His pace was slow and he seemed off in his own world, but if something were to alarm him even for a second, he would react instantly

[Hey man, I'm in five roleplays now, six if we count the Christmas party. I'm sorry but I don't think I could take on another one. Maybe I could find someone to roleplay the enemy forces for me? Or maybe you could just leave and look for an existing plot to join?]

[Gravitos Imperium]

(Hmm, I'll definately see what other places I could jump into.)

[Tutley Sakamoto]

[It would appear that everything is clear for me to how you say... crash your party? First go at using npcs sides T.J.!]

It was indeed true that the hedgehog had managed to escape robotropolis proper, though it didn't mean he was completly safe. The doctor had planned to always keep a few convoys here and there to tour around the outskirts to keep watch for intruders, and also for escapees. A metallic black colored armored vehicle would in fact be performing a patrol just ahead of hedgehog, headlights on as it puttered along the side of a makeshift roadway. Dead trees littered the area around them, the pollution from the city forming a dead zone for flora and fauna. The trees would give one places to hide and take cover, but they were rather fragile. A pair of swatbots would be walking alongside the transport, their visor sensors scanning the area alongside the path for anything suspicious.

(( Okay, sounds like a plan. Also edited my first post to introduce my weapons so they don't appear outta nowhere. ))

The hedgehog escaped his mental trance as he glanced forward. His eyes took a second to adjust to the bright light in front of him. He needed to disappear from sight and now. The only place to hide were trees and the last time he tried hiding behind one of these, it disinegrated from his very touch.

The transport was approaching and anything would do right now. Thankfully, a small ditch was beside his tree of choice/ He utilized this and crouched down in the darkness. Hopefully his dark color would work, but something told him he was bound to get caught. With such a mindset, the Gyromancer placed a hand on each blade and firml grasped the hilts. He was ready to make scrap metal of these swatbots

[Tutley Sakamoto]

The vehicle soon pulled to a stop, the swatbot on the right side slowly sliding the door on its side open. They understood the area had cover, and as such were ordered to perform occosional sweeps of the area. Four other swatbots walked out of the transport in pairs, another soon leaving the vehicle with them. This one looked differently from the others, sporting a red and black box affixed to his back, some sort of comnunication device. It pointed out in various directions, the others nodding before moving out. The one that appeared to be the leader stayed close to the transport with the two escorting the vehicle. One of them was approaching the hedgehog's general area, holding a blaster rifle at the ready. It checked behind trees as it walked closer, marching ever closer towads him.

[To be clear, a group of four swatbots have spread out, with three of them, one being the leader staying close to the vehicle. One is approaching your area. ]

[Gravitos Imperium]

Gravitos watched the bot from his hiding place. Could he perhaps wait until it left, running the risk of getting cuaght. Defense was never his preffered way of things, and if he were to get cuaght how he was, defense would be needed. He sighed deeply before placing both hands on his right sword, tightly gripping the hilt as he prepared himself. As the bot got close enough, the hedgehog leaped out of the tree, unsheathing his sword and holding it in both hands. He applied 3 quick horizontal slashes to it, the first aiming for the kneecaps, the sexknd attempting to slash through the midsection and the last was a lethal steike aimed for the nexk.

If his sword strikes were to go through, he would quickly unsheath his other sword and brace himself for what the swatbots had.in store.

The swatbot nearest him soon drew close indeed, but had yet to catch sight of the hedgehog. The moment the Gravitos leapt into view of the it, the swatbot that stayed by the others alongside the armored car pointed in his direction silently. It was too late for the one in front of Gravitos; as it was quickly cut to ribbons in a flash. It neatly collasped into a pile in front of the hedgehog.

It seemed that that one with the pack was able to see what the others did, and also comunicated between them. Perhaps the doctor was building prototypes? The other three that were patrolling quickly turned in his direction, two of them approaching with lazer rifles in hand. The third; the closest of them to him on the intruder's right had his right arm pointed at the hedgehog, letting off a small lazer shot from his wrist mounted blaster. He was roughly twenty or so feet away at the moment, though that ground could be quickly traveled. As for the two escorting the vehicle, one remained by the one in command to guard him, the other moving into the vehicle for something...

[Gravitos Imperium]

Gravitos dropped to the ground, barely avoiding the laser shof. He was careful not to stab himself. He rose to a slightly crouched position, holding both swords in his left hand. His black ovupar markings took on a red, plus sign shapped attribute. He pointed his open palm at the bot who fired amd luanched a crimson spear of energy. Given the distance, he unleashed it in a slight upward trajectory. It flew in an arc towards the bot. If struck, the machine would most likely crumble under twice its normal gravity.

A sword was held in both hands as he got to his feet. With a quick flick of his wrist, prongs protruded feom the bottom of the hilts. He used these to connect the swords, created a double bladed, staff like weapon. With his new weapin, the hedgehpg proceeded tp spin it around and walk towards the two approaching him. He was building up momentum for deadly strikes.

[Gravity Spear usage] 3/4: Next reset in 3 turns.

[Tutley Sakamoto]

The swatbot hit with the spear creaked and shuddered for a few seconds, its hydrolics struggling to keep the swatbot upright. Red electricity sparked from his body, before the visor grew dim from the internal circuits breaking under the stress, the bot collasping in place.

"Abnormailty detected...probably cause...magic from hostile target.", the leader said taking note. "All units, spread out and fire from a distance.", it commanded, holding a arm out in the hedgehog's direction. The guard on his left moved in to approach Gravitos as he neared the other two, letting off pair of shots from its right wrist blaster. The other pair stood their ground a few feet apart from each other, bringing their rifles to bear, firing on Gravitos as he charged in.

The other guard soon climbed into the transport, appearing to have problems with whatever it was planning to bring out. As all this happened, the lead bot's visor lit up on the right side, preparing to make contact with swatbot dispatch...
