Scout Skipper follows Doc Ock into the arcade, trying to Clip into their Barrier!

Sucrose mans the guns and fires at the Dragon's wings!

-Rachel + Arminius "thanks a million. I'll be up ahead." Sans says, winking as he turns and walks past the two of you, down the way you came. As soon as you blink, he disappears. Further down the path, the child stops near a seemingly random spot. (The convenience of those lamps still fill you with Determination), he hears a ghostly voice announce. The road forks, and in the middle of the fork, there is a box, with a sign next to it. Arminius hears the voice read it. (This is a box, you can put things inside it or take things out of it. The same box will appear later, so don't worry about coming back. Sincerely; A box lover.) -The Lab Lucine opens the mysterious box... Amazing, it seems the box folds out into a hard-to-draw bed! Ignis discovers that the Workbench is covered in blueprints for a bizarre, boxy robot. The tools themselves seem to operate using magical power. Intriguingly, the blueprints depict an upside down heart being turned right side up, and then placed inside the android body. More intriguingly, the gigantic anime poster dominating the wall behind the workbench is larger than the blueprints themselves... -Nader + Prodditor The Elevator goes down, slowly at first, before stopping. "WARNING! WARNING! ELEVATOR LOSING POWER! EM TETHER STABILITY LOST!" The elevator crashes down violently, and, testing the buttons, it seems it won't be going back up any time soon... The air feels cold, and dark, even though the lights are still on.

Cap and Gozer defend!

Scout Skipper switches "Damage Boost" for "Clip"!

Cap Fires another spear!

-Rachel + Arminius -The Lab Riding the Conveyer Belt up to the top floor, Lucine discovers a room with various things. Bookshelves, a Workbench, a Strange Machine, a Wardrobe, a Writing Desk, and a Mysterious Box. Nader roars, kicking open the door and revealing an elevator. The elevator only has two options, up, and down. (11, 10) Ignis isn't sure who the camera is tracking, but it stands to reason that if it isn't tracking any of the party members here, then it probably isn't tracking any of the party members there either. The child must be the camera's focus, by order of elimination. Jun finds that the Jetpack App returns an error. It's a mobile phone app!

Cap flings out a spray of caltrops, targeting BAZELGEUSE and the swarm!

Cap flings a mighty Celestial Spear at the glowing fellow!

"What in particular are you looking for right now?" Law asks, following Tim's lead.

Law uses their jump pack to allow him and Tim to glide down safely to the bottom.

Gozer creates a pile of Caltrops, which Cap flings at the monsterous buzzing!

-- Rachel + Arminius As the skeleton shrugs, a drum sting plays from nowhere, as if to accentuate the joke. Toriel's cheeks puff as she holds in laughter. Another Drum Sting plays. The tall skeleton promptly flees the area, leaving you with a skeleton, a small child, and a goat-monster laughing helplessly. -- The Lab Lucine fiddles with the locked bathroom door, but it is still locked. Jun, however, pokes around the computer, finding several things, mostly anime, it seems, but also a few incomplete apps. One of the apps is just called "Jetpack".

"Drat!" Scout exclaims. She runs between the Nerds and the Deadites, trying to block them with her body! Her body flashes with invulnerability after taking the hit from earlier!

Gozer uses Royal Guard, predicting that the Giant Rolling Boulder will roll towards them, and blocking it!

3 10 17 5 14 11 1 2 16 10 As Onion falls down, the Flesh of Honor glances up, before sweeping its sword overhead in a block that sends him flying away to the side of the Reactor Chamber Floor. - The Flesh of Honor looks up, distracted by Block's exclamation, distracted by what he said as he escapes! - Alpha prepares to roll the Unstable Bombboulder into the room. It sizzles with anticipation. - Ichor Bleu activates the Chili Horrordog's transformative abilities, and their armor bulges with explosive force, pulsating with red energy! Ichor Bleu has unlocked Access! Ichor Bleu will release a Kamikaze Blast next turn! - Psolomom attempts to punch their way into the shadows, drawing on residual magic to enter the Elemental Plane of Darkness! They enter a strange, distorted version of the world. The Reactor Chamber is full of dirt and dead trees, and the Mysterious Stranger is nowhere to be found.

12 7 1 15 15 1 11 8 10 15 20 15 The armor pauses at Onion's words. Blood from the creature's wounds flows into the middle of the room, shifting into an identical, but Onion-sized version of the sword. The blade pulses with Meat energy. - The Rock begins to shudder and become unstable as it becomes the size of Alpha's torso. - Rapidly, the meat energy in the air is sucked into the Healant Card, and it is fully charged! - Block begins charging up block energy, and takes a running leap at the pillar of energy! - Psolomom tries to read the ambient magic, but The Stranger's intentions are shrouded in darkness... - "Enough of this bullshit!" Dia shrieks, shaking herself and taking a running leap at the Flesh of Honor, kicking it off of the catwalk and flying down into the dark depths below. The armor's flesh splatters on impact. - "Don't worry, dear allies. I'll simply remove the source of its power! You'll defeat it quite easily, then!" the dark stranger says, tossing their rose into the energy pillar. The surging energy is sucked into the flower, while Block's block smashes the Golden Artifact out of the beam before it can be sucked up as well. The figure grabs their rose, looking at the relic and the party appraisingly. "Hmm. Well, I'll leave you to it, then. Bionveneue and goodbye!" he says, leaping into the shadows and disappearing as the room begins to shut down without the nexus. The Flesh of Honor roars from the bottom of the reactor chamber, while Block grabs the golden relic.

8 10 14 2 17 3 3 8 7 20 11 6 Onion tries to cut off the tentacle's legs, but it counters his attacks with a massive swipe from it's blade, tossing him back! - [Fight Honorably][Defend Nexus][Kill Intruders][Destroy the Dishonorable] Psolomom reads, looking at its intentions. - Block blocks himself free, and makes a run for the nexus! - Alpha begins synthesizing a huge bombrock, but as he discovers, Deli has already left the building! - Ichor throws the card at Dia, but the card goes flying into the abyss. "I still don't have hands shitstick!" she yells. - Frustrated with the utter incompetence of Ichor, Dia leaps into the air, kicking the hell out of The Flesh of Disgust with repeated kicks. - The Flesh of Disgust attempts to turn Dia into a molten smear with an utterly furious series of attacks, but a black rose smacks it in the face, startling it briefly. - The party's eyes are directed skywards as the black rose flies like a dart back to its master, who is standing on one of the nearby structures. "I don't think I'll condone attacking such a pretty young lady," he insists, brandishing his black flower at the Flesh of Disgust. "The beast is powered by the nexus! I'll help you defeat it," the mysterious shadowy figure exclaims. The Flesh of Disgust prepares to attack once again.

8 5 11 17 7 12 12 5 14 12 14 14 Onion rushes towards the Flesh of Disgust and hacks at its meaty legs, chopping through the flesh and weakening it! The Armor grows even angrier at this. - Block tries to block the Elemental Energies from hitting Dia, but they're too powerful for him! - Psolomom's crane kick succeeds at making the Flesh of Disgust incredibly angry! - Alpha manages to rip open a nearby wall, finding a cache of hamburgers hidden behind the metal plating! Devouring them quickly, he feels his mana surge with greater strength! - With only minor burns to himself, Ichor Bleu manages to reattach Dia's leg, giving her the ability to stand! - Dia stands up, focusing her energy. - The Flesh of Disgust raises its sword, slamming it down on Block's Block, and crunching them into the ground! While their arms are only slightly cut through, their body is stuck in the catwalk like a nail hammered into a board, having been punched through the metal! The Flesh of Disgust's barbed tentacle tries to rip Onion in half, but the armored half of it steps back, sweeping its sword and forcing everyone away! It levels its blade at the party, waiting for them to ready themselves. It looks pissed, almost as if the party's behavior is angering it.

13 8 14 5 5 16 16 20 5 8 Psolomom performs an Axe-Kick, her leg smashing into the monster's fleshy parts, and damaging several of its tendons! - With a heaving heave, Onion throws his barrel of D4 at the Flesh of Disgust, the barrel crashes near them, and explodes, dealing a little bit of damage to them! - Block prepares a potent block, trying to get in the way of the Flesh of Disgust's sword attacks! - Ichor Bleu throws Helperbot at the Flesh of Disgust, and it explodes on its armor, falling to pieces! - Dia attempts to perform a flurry of spinkicks on the Flesh of Disgust, but her leg lets off splatters of molten rock with a sickening noise! Dia's body heats up more from Elemental Instability! "This damn room is getting to me!" she complains, falling to one knee. - Block leaps in the way of The Flesh of Disgust's Sword Swipe, but it crashes through him and into Psolomom, sending them both flying with deep gouges! The Flesh of Disgust's barbed tentacles try to strike Psolomom while she is downed, but it uses its sword to slash the tentacles apart before they can! It almost seems to wait as it's head turns to glance at its flesh-tentacle covered sides for a moment. With a strong smooth motion, it lifts its sword to bare as Psolomom and Block rise to their feet.

18 14 4 18 15 3 11 12 Onion attempts to summon a magic barrier, Onion was wrapped in a magic shell! Ichor Bleu was wrapped in a magic shell! Psolomom was wrapped in a magic shell! Block was wrapped in a magic shell! Dia was wrapped in a magic shell! - Ichor Bleu summons a little robot helper! It looks kinda dumpy... - Block leaps into the air and uses a potent block to knock the Flesh of Disgust's hand off of it's sword! The flesh writhes with fury. - Psolomom leaps into the air, and performs a flying kick, But it bounced off! - 1 10 Dia attempts to perform a flying kick of her own, But it failed! Dia's body glows red with magmatic power. - 10 2 1 The Flesh of Disgust reaches for its sword, while its tentacle lashes out! The tentacle's barbed hooks smash into Onion's Ogre Barrier! Onion's ogre barrier shatters! - The Flesh of Disgust writhes with anger, shuddering with indignity as it pulls its sword free of the ground.

The group walks down the stairs, to the final floor. Teddy and Nibbler are left behind. Teddy is too precious, and Nibbler, far too large to fit through the door. This floor is dominated by one, singular room, a chamber in which several walkways arch towards a beam of energy in the center of the room, which suspends a large golden object. The room is filled with dense, choking energy, a blend of both Storm and Meat magic dominates the room like the inside of a reactor. As they step forward, meat begins to drip from the ceiling, each drop mutating together into a single mass. For a moment, it looks as if the meat is about to transform into a mindless shambling thing of flesh and bone, however, your expectations are dashed when armor begins sprouting from parts of it. Green begins to overtake pink as the liquid mutates into the form of a titanic knight, while a long, sharp blade grows from its hand. Half of the knight's body is made of twisted, pulsating flesh, thick veins throb in the pink meat, while sharp barbed hooks twitch as muscles attached to them spasm uncontrollably. A massive blade made of mutated flesh sits stabbed in the catwalk, large, mutated runes grown into its almost tallow-like fuller. The Disgusting Flesh stands stoically between you and the Nexus, waiting for you to take the first move, though, why it would do this, you aren't sure.

3 11 17 11 6 3 10 7 16 7 Block unleashes a potent block, but sadly, he can't block people talking yet. - Ichor Bleu lashes out with magic tentacles, The tentacles strike the Ultraviolet Slime viciously! - Onion tries to summon an Ogre Barrier! A magic barrier appears around Onion! - Psolomom draws the wind-energy from the Wind Shear, and used it to perform a powerful attack, The Echo Punch strikes the Ultraviolet Slime! The Ultraviolet Slime is nauseous! - Alpha unleashes a furious barrage! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! A bombrock crashes into Ultraviolet Slime, exploding! The Ultraviolet Slime collapses into goo! - Spoils - "What the hell is going on here?!" Deli shouts, looking at the mess everywhere. "Oh god, it's a damn infestation!" she says, rubbing the sides of her face to ease her stress.

"...Not from the back rooms, no," Deli says, quickly walking towards the back.

10 3 13 20 1 3 8 15 She sighs at Block. "Yes, I didn't call you a thief, Block. I'm saying that there are thieves who want it. so I can't tell anyone about it." - As he hucks meat at the Pink Slime, it becomes more unstable, until he realizes that there was a chunk of meat in the slime's center before they walked in the room... It's feeding on the elemental instability of Meat and Acid for greater strength! The Pink Slime instantly quintuples in size, unleashing a horrifying roar as energy rages around it. Onion throws a stick of D4 at the Ultraviolet Slime, But Ultraviolet Slime's energy made it explod prematurely! Onion is concussed by the blast! Ichor Bleu tries his best to focus on summoning and channeling his mana, but only manages to just create the tentacles before the Ultraviolet Slime attacks! 9 8 20 3 3 9 3 12 2 2 3 2 The Ultraviolet Slime flashes in front of Onion, lashing out with vicious bites, The bites tear into Onion!

The Ultraviolet Slime flashes in front of Ichor Bleu, lashing out with vicious bites, But it is driven back by his tentacle mana! 2 Snacks appear on the battlefield... The Ultraviolet Slime tries to fire pellets of acid at Onion, But they all miss! - 4 20 Hotdog tried to free itself... But it dissolved away!
