The person approaching, was Splice. He had just made it into the window she broke into. "...Cy...?" He stared at the Cy on the floor, and the one pointing her sword at her. "W-...What's going on...? W-Why...?"

---

"They're falling back. Good work!" Smash announced. "But we can't let them get away!"

"How are we supposed to chase them if they're flying?" Violet asked.

"I'll try to get my ship up in time." Gizmo said. "C'mon, Kitty! Let's move!" Kitty nodded, and the two dashed down the street.

He took a deep breath, trying to get a hold of himself. "Is there a reason why I shouldn't be here?" He asked, sounding almost back to normal. He began to walk towards them. "The real question is..Why are you two fighting?" He asked. "The real enemy...the ones who killed Smash's friend...is right out there." He pointed out the window behind him, where they could faintly see their robots fleeing. "They just attacked everyone right now..! At a time like this--or at any time, really, I don't want to see you fighting." He looked back and forth between the two Cymbelines. "I mean, as much as I'm glad that you're okay, Cy. But..Can't we all just talk?"

"Wh-" Splice was cut off before he could protest, and could only watch as she flew out of his reach. "Cy, wait!" He cried out, futily reaching toward the hole in the ceiling. Before he knew it, they were both gone. Splice's arm dropped down to his side. The situation was now far worse than he'd ever imagined. He felt his legs wobble until he fell to his knees. "What's...what's happening..? Why is this happening?" He pitifully asked himself. "Cymbeline..."

"Why...is this happening?" Marina thought as she watched in horror at the destruction the humanoid robots along with the reckless G.U.N soldiers were causing, disregarding the people they were hurting around them "This is atrocious-" Marina glanced at one of the humanoid robots attack a nearby van in which screams were heard coming from it as it flipped over from the Humanoid Robot's strike. "?!" Marina rushed out of the door towards the Van to check on whoever was in it. "Hold on!" she called out. "I'll get you out!" Marina said as she touched the Van's window with both hands and frantically looked at her feet for something to break the window open. "Crap..!" she muttered not being able to find anything and just grabbed onto the car handle and tried pulling really hard to break it open.

"Please help us!!" a young female cat begged from the back window of the van.

Marina's eyes widened seeing the young child and kept trying to pull on the door handle. "Hang in there!" she told the girl and this time tried pulling on it with both hands before noticing the crack on the window where the young one was. "Back away from the window" she told the Kitten. Once she was at a good distance, Marina remembered a punching technique Smash taught her a while back for self defense purposes. Marina punched through the crack of the window, smashing it and allowing the young Kitten to peek out towards Marina.

"Im sorry about that.." Marina forced a smile, trying to endure the pain on her fist since it hurt from lack of practice in punching stuff. Marina picked up the girl kitten to embrace her and looked inside the Van. "Dont worry, i'll help your mom out of the-"

"Look OUT!!" The girl screamed which startled Marina but she quickly ducked, avoiding the punch from a Robot standing behind her. Its fist shattered the window drivers seat window.

"eeeek!!" the young Kitten screamed.

Marina quickly moved her head up towards the robot and quickly moved away, this time evading the Robot's kick which hit the car, knocking it to its side.

"what in the-" Marina gasped and her eyes widened seeing the robot towering over her, making incoherent sounds since its voice box was destroyed by someone prior to his encounter with Marina and aimed his arm cannon towards them.

The kitten nuzzled against Marina, trembling with fear at the sight of the Robot's arm cannon charge up. Marina quickly put the Kitten down and charged towards the Robot to grab his arm and move it upwards to make him shoot to the sky. The Energy released by the cannon was bright and loud enough to be heard and seen by whoever was nearby.

"GO HIDE!!" Marina told the Kitten as she struggled to push the Robot back. Next Thing she knew, she felt a cold, metallic sensation strike her in the stomach, forcing her down to her knees from the pain.

"Nooo!!" the Kitten screamed.

Marina was the grabbed by her neck and lifted very high up so the Robot was looking up at her. Marina glared at the Robot but then her eyes widened recognizing the Robot's features up-close. "That...face..." she thought and vague memories of her unpleasant experience when she was kidnapped came back to her. "No...It cant be..!" The Robot's arm cannon shape-shifted onto a large power-saw. A very loud sound came from it as it powered on. The Robot made incoherent sounds once again and eyed Marina carefully as it slowly began to move its Saw towards her core, intending to pierce it through her.

"That sound...!" Marina recognized the sound. It was the first thing she heard upon waking up when she was kidnapped and it was just before she began feeling her arm being torn out of her body. Fear crept up on her, making her lose her composure. "N-No...!" she coughed and a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Kyle!!!!" Marina screamed, remembering the pain of her arm being torn from her.

Right on cue, the cyan hedgehog charged onto the scene, sword in hand. "Marina!!" He cried out, fearing the worst. "Unhand her, now! Tempest!" His demand was followed up by the call of his attack; he leaped forward, somersaulting rapidly with his sword held out forward. He approached the robot's arms, spinning like a spiked ball ready to chop them off within the next second.

Following close behind him were Electric and Zap. Electric's arms were crackling with electricity, ready to be unleashed, while Zap simply sped ahead of him and tried to attack the robot's legs, hoping to throw it off balance.

Considering the massive revamp in the series in the past four years (god it's been a long time), and both Cy and Ale filling me in on loads of information on Skull Cross, Cymbeline and Jenny's histories and such, I'm thinking about going back and rewriting the first few pages of this RP. At the very least, my own posts.
It's gonna be a bit more complicated than just simply removing the mentions of Frost and co. and adding more detail to Smash's meeting; considering the fact that he waited 4 years to tell the gang about Skull Cross and Jenny's death, and the fact that in the series rewrite I'm making Jenny far more involved as a main character in the time she was alive, that's...well, Smash'll need a bigger and better excuse for neglecting to tell his friends that she's dead.

Also, I need to ask Cy about the details on the "dark dude" and the two Cymbeline's splitting in the beginning. PM me if/when you see this, Cy.

at this point a total rewrite might be in order. at least up until Skull Cross attacks.

And so I have. I went ahead and rewrote the post where Smash explains the situation, as that's the one that needs the most clarification behind it.
Hopefully this should make the plot much easier to understand, as there was a lot of uncertainty in what was going on, how things happened and where the plot was going. There's still much more to the meeting that needs to be revised in accordance, but that might require me to edit other people's posts, which I don't want to have to do. At least not now, if ever.
