(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'How interesting. Erwin, perhaps I -do- have a use for you afterall....'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'You rang, Fish Face?'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'Run a track on that radio transmission from...you know where. If this -is- a joker amidst us...I would most desire to know their identity...so I may get to know them a little better in our own ranks.'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'What's innit fer me? I, personally, don't see why I should track down some joker for you, you walking sea food platter. I'm going to post a few pictures of you on the 'Net instead..., since I'll at least get a few laughs from it.'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: '*long pause* I do believe I'll pay you a little visit Erwin. I'll be there momentarily....'.

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: 'I think Erwin needsss an attitude adjussstment'.

(Ch. A [Goldenrod]) Enker transmits: 'I have come up against this before, a young Repliforcer... He wished to be scrapped and I complied. Perhaps the fellow has told his buddies. How absurd that Wily's armies should become the subject of prank calls. No offense to you of course, master, but Bass has a point... Your orders are a bit unusual.'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'Oh I'm -sure- I could make some PROPER adjustments.'.

(Ch. A [RedRocket]) Quick Man transmits: 'Hey, Erwin. I might be able to make it worth your while. I know this one Palmpilot...'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'Fine fine. I'll run the trace on -one- condition.'.

=====================================================
(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'Oh how nice...he's bargaining now. Please, indulge us.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'Alright...one moment...'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'This moment is appearing to rather stretch.'.

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: 'I think I can smell the plasssma already...'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: '...'.

(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Morph Doppelganger transmits: '*Wily's voice* WHERE ARE MY DEPENDS!?'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'You know what? Forget the trace.'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'Why?'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: 'Because I'd rather slag you!'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'ACK! I'm moving to MiR!'.

**There was no one to watch at this point but suffice it to say that Bass had merged with Treble and was speeding for the Wily Star, where Erwin was housed.**

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'I'm going to download myself into one of the Robot Masters....'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: '*Download Complete. Destination: Unknown*'.

(Ch. A [None]) Magna Bass transmits: '*Split second later* How interesting.....now this chase turns more interesting. Though I pity ERWIN of course....he has no more housing to return to. Now...-where- shall I start?'.

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: 'Not sure. How can you tell if you've got the virusss?'.

(Ch. A [RedRocket]) Quick Man transmits: 'Pft, yeah, right, like I can't just keep doing this, Fishhead.'.

(Ch. A [RedRocket]) Quick Man transmits: 'Er. Bass? Please don't hurt me?'.

(Ch. A [None]) Magna Bass transmits: 'Ahhh...Quick Man. Quite a choice...I'll be -right- there'.

(Ch. A [RedRocket]) Quick Man transmits: 'I... think I'll go hide.'.

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: 'Quick. I like you. That'sss why I'm going to recommend you run. Very fassst'.

> Donachi Business District - Neo Tokyo
>
This is the economic heart of Neo Tokyo and a great deal of the world. It is within these few square kilometers that corporate empires rise and fall, deals determining the fate of the world's commerical enterprises are made, and where the greatest commercial structure ever created dwarfs everything around it, the Stratoscraper. This immense building is so tall that aerospace technology had to be applied to maintain the building's atmosphere near the top, while the foundation below bores deep into the planet's crust. Around the base of this building are the smaller, though by no means small themselves, skyscrapers that house the headquarters of countless corporations and globe-spanning enterprises.The city has reached so far into the sky here that special public transports race up and down between suspended platforms that connect many of the buildings. Floating food vendor booths drift to and from specialized airlocks on the side of the buildings, and the lights from various holographic ad signs reflect from the mirrored windows.

Light Labs [MH]

(Ch. A [Goldenrod]) Enker transmits: '...E.R.W.I.N., Quick Man has been insulting you. I suggest you deactivate him.'.

> Quick Man is banging on the door to Light Labs. Very hard. "LET ME IN! LET ME IN! FOR WILY'S SAKE, LET ME IN!"

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'That's it. I'm going to hide inside a Master who can take on Bass. Here I come, Enker! *PING*'.

> Snake Man is not far away, but not in sight either. He's in the same position he was watching the Hunters from before

(Ch. A [Goldenrod]) Enker transmits: 'Oh for the love o- *** Come get what's coming to you, Fishead!'.

> Quick Man continues to bang on the door. There's a momentary pause as ERWIN blips out of him, but he just *knows* that if he turns around, he'll see a plasma bolt coming for him. So he keeps banging on the door. "LET ME IN!"

> It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Magna Bass...and he's coming -right- for QUick Man right now, not having even heard the last part about his quarry's sudden change of bodies. At least not before he sent a plasma charge hurtling right for Quick Man.

WHA-TOOOM!

> Quick Man makes the mistake of glancing backwards over his shoulder. Yep, there's the plasma bolt, right as he expected. "WAAAAAAH! This is only supposed to happen to Cut Man!" Then.. FWBOOOOOOOM!

> Magna Bass pulls up at the last moment as Quick Man is cannoned, narrowing his eyes then as he listens over his radio. NEXT! Without even sparing a glance for Light Labs, or an -explanation-, he turns and jets off once again...searching for his next target.

(Ch. A [None]) Magna Bass transmits: 'A pity Enker. You have my condolences.'.

> Quick Man just lays there, smoking. He looks like this hasn't been a good day at all. X_X

(Ch. A [Goldenrod]) Enker transmits: 'You just blew up your own man, Fishhead! Now go find yourself a pretty dress and prance around for your new fans on the 'net!'.

> Skull Fortress - Teleportation Chamber

Rows of tall teleportation capsules line the walls, each clearly labeled with a detination. A few are labeled 'Custom Location' instead of with a city name.

Type 'tel/list' to see a list of destinations and 'tel <location>' to activate the teleporters.

> Enker [David Enkerman] [RM]
Punk [RM]

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: 'Uhh, Bassss... He can hop from one of usss to the nessxt in lessss time than it takesss you to find whoever hasss him. He could consscievably go through all of usss, and you ssstill wouldn't be able to get him. You'd be damaging your own troopsss...'.

(Ch. A [None]) Magna Bass transmits: 'I...DON'T...CARE! Your last moment is NOW Erwin! I'll cannon every last -one- of you if I have to!'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'Uh-oh! Time to hope from another one! Hasta la vista, he who sleeps with his dog! *PING*'.

> Enker grabs his head briefly and shakes it, before looking up again.

(Ch. A [Goldenrod]) Enker transmits: 'Ooh, big words fishy. I'll hop over to the WilyDragon and roast your aft!'.

> Magna Bass is -just- through the teleporters then, moving straight -for- Enker right now with both fists in front of him. Smile Enker...you're subject to a Magna Bass projectile.

> Punk slowly backs away. .oO(this could get ugly...)

> Enker arrgs and shakes his head, then looking up to find Bass coming up close and personal for a friendly little chat perhaps.

(Ch. A [Important]) Snake Man transmits: '<Snake's voice, but no hiss> Guess where I am now, Fishboy? Now let's see, how about some eyeshadow and lipstick on the next one? What about pink? I think you'd look good in a hot pink dress with purple makeup.'.

> Magna Bass jerks up at the -very- last second perhaps, sparing Enker an extra headache as he listens to his radio, practically snarling in fury right now. He narrows his eyes, as if lost in his own thoughts, and hovering right now. It's then that...an idea occurs to him, and without another word, he jets off yet again, actually blazing a trail down Skull Fortress' hallways.

> Punk walks back over to Enker. "What was -that- all about?"

(Ch. A [THE-MASTER]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'When you get ahold of him, Bass, store him on a Mac. That shall teach him....'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'NO! NOT A MAC! ANYTHING BUT AN IMAC!'.

> Magna Bass actually pauses halfway then, another thought coming to him. No, he dosen't need his quarry coming -back- on him this time, now does he? With that, he turns, and lets loose two perfect fireballs of energy. One for Punk, and one for Enker.

> *WHOOM!*
*WHOOM!*

(Ch. A []) Punk transmits: 'Thats just...cruel..'.

> Enker's eyes widen a bit as he comes to, not particularly liking the idea of Bass trying to exorcise him... He breaths a sigh of relief as the Force Leader heads off, and opens his mouth to attempt an explenation for Punk, but it seems Bass has decided that he never shall know. ...Ow?

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: '*sounds of running, kicking what's left of Quick Man aside, and beginning to pound on the Hunter's door* LET ME IN! LET ME IN!'.

> Snake Man throws himself against the door. Unfortunately, since he doesn't have much weight or strength, it doesn't do much good. He glances back over his shoulder and his tail goes rigid with fright as he sees Bass approaching. Getting a sudden idea, he does a major headbutt on the door, knocking himself out in the process...

> Magna Bass sees the movement, and pulls a hard turn, mercilessly glaring down at where Snake Man lays. He draws his
buster onto the fallen form, starting to build a charge into it......

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'AUGH! Moron! I'm a dead man! I'm jumping into the mutt! *PING*'.

(Ch. A [Masters]) Bass transmits: '*pause* Oh crap....'.

(Ch. A [ERWIN]) E.R.W.I.N. transmits: 'ARF ARF ARF ARF!'.

<O-Master> Pet Snake Man says, "ROTFL"

Bass isn't about to let himself fall into -that- trap, and busts him apart from Treble a split second before he's taken over, rolling hard as he hits the ground and coming up with his buster raised, apparently unsure how to approach this now. "Turn my own -dog- against me you little eel!!?" he howls, definetely lost to his rage. "Your suffering is going to be extended tenfold for -that-!"

Treble barks, "C'mon! Take your best shot!"

Snake Man is lying on the doorstep, still unconcious...

Treble barks loudly at Bass, "C'mon! C'mon! I'm not scared of you!" He rushes towards Bass and begins to nibble on his ankles. "You can't hurt me! I'm a Robot Master's best friend!"

Bass arghs as Treble comes toward him, fighting the urge to cannon the -one- companion he's got in this world. Even as the teeth snap at his feet, he forces himself backwards with a rush of his dash jets. Even as he moves backwards, his color tone shifts to a green tinge, and yellow trimmings. Screeching to a halt, the Dark Knight then points his buster straight at Treble. "Escape -THIS!-"

FLASH!

And the timestopper's affect is unleashed.

And with the timestopper power unleashed, Treble freezes in his tracks, ERWIN locked within the confines of the robo-pooch.

. o (Oh...crap.)

Bass pumps his arm in a victory gesture, before jetting straight forward and scooping Treble's statuesque form in his arms. He leaves the effects of the timestopper in place on him...as he has -plans- for the little guy inside now. Without a word, his dash jets propel him and his canine companion away from Light Labs once again, leaving Snake Man and Quick Man crumpled on Light Lab's front doorstep.

Snake Man drags himself up on his elbows, beginning to come around again...

Erwin Sun Mar 05 Bass
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bass appears on screen, looking decisively calmer after his rampage earlier. He gives no apologies to anyone he cannoned out of hand during the sudden bout of rage. After all, it's Bass....

"Erwin has been...sofficiently detained until I decide what to do with him tomorrow. I have placed him in a temporary body for now, as well as locked his jumping capability, so none of you shall experience his....sudden trips around the Masters as happened so recently. Feel free to approach him as you wish, and express your -views- to him as you would wish as well. And those of you whom experienced his sudden presence....by all means, explain to him how it felt and your own views as you see fit."

He then steps back from the camera, gesturing to the little body behind him, encased in a glowing, electromagnetic forcefield. It's a hardhat...but a scuba-hardhat, with the big flip-flop flippers and snorkel. That's gonna be awful difficult moving around.

"And oh yes...do be prepared for the screams when he wakes up. I have a feeling he'll be most...upset."

With that, Bass blinks out of existence.
