Insane Cafe 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel

Setsuna cast her detect spell. She spotted several claymore mines aimed at the road just a few hundred meters ahead of the lead vehicle - the Mystery Machine.

She dashed ahead and pounded on the door. "Stop!" she shouted.

At the same time, there was a deep rumble as a convoy carrying Dragonstorm reinforcements and supplies on nearby road tripped one of the lava IEDs, sinking the entire front half of the convoy into the crater. The ground of the crater then melted and poured in, burying the vehicles under molten rock. The intense radiant heat ignited some of the soldiers nearby the molten rock. Another explosion ripped through the air as some smaller IEDs planted by the SPVDF, killing or wounding the rest of the reinforcements.

Mr. Bigmouth turned to the direction of the blasts. "Looks like the lava blast plan worked," he said.

--------------------

Raptix and Pterano led Lilo and some other young volunteers (dinosaur and refugee) to Mr. Bigmouth's Grove..

There, several adult volunteers (dinosaur and refugee) were busy cleaning up. Stone fragments were tossed into the burial pit. Plant waste was tossed into the burn pit.

Raptix then turned to Lilo. "Actually, instead of making herbs, you want to help me on a gathering expedition?" he asked.

Scooby sslammed on the brakes just before hitting some of the ieds. Rhats rong?'He asked rolling down the window and looking at Setsuna. Rhat ris rit?" the rumbling of thelava activating reaching them. Apparently we have company " Dixie said.
_
Chong turned to the others ' begin your incursions, if you see the enemy, call in the air strikes..
_
Alright.. what are we gathering/" lilo asked.

Serris · **Reply #7002 on:** May 11, 2010, 10:10:52 PM

"Traps ahead," Setsuna said.

----------------

The trucker stopped his truck and leaned out the window. "What's going on?" he shouted.

"Traps!" Setsuna shouted back

Deimos radioed Stripetail. "Stripetail, this is Deimos we're currently held up by IEDs," he said.

----------------

"We'll be gathering herbs," Raptix said, he strapped a sheath containing his stone knife to his chest. "Lilo, you'll need a knife for this," he added.

Nick22 · **Reply #7003 on:** May 11, 2010, 10:27:53 PM

(they haven't reached the town yet.. they are still inbetween the hotel and the town..)
Scooby frowned, then got out of the Mmystery Machine " Row rose rere re ro ritting rhose rings?' He asked..
- I Don't have a knife though" lilo admitted.

Serris · **Reply #7004 on:** May 11, 2010, 10:48:17 PM

(OOC - I edited the previous post.)

Deimos went up to Scooby. "We can either find the tripwires and cut them or we can try to set them off with explosives or a laser from a safe distance or we can try to jam the radio signals or we can simply try to route around them," he said.

The Bull trucker pulled out a pair of wire cutters he had in his glovebox.

Deimos shook his head and pulled out his Leatherman tool. "Thanks,"

Setsuna spotted one of the IEDs and blew it up with a magic bomb attack.

---------------

"We can get one for you," Raptix replied.

Nick22 · **Reply #7005 on:** May 11, 2010, 11:47:34 PM

we'll have to go off road them, Tai said upon getting out
What about activating them now/ Captain milos said, activate all of them, then drive off road for a bit..

Jason and the others who were outside the tardis went into his tardis and sat down on chairs to rest. The tardis then went to the next destination.

Serris · **Reply #7007 on:** May 13, 2010, 06:14:05 PM

Deimos looked at Setsuna. "Considering the fact that he have the means to do so, we should just simply set them off and head off road," he said.

Mr. Bigmouth looked around him. The street they were driving on was intended for local and pedestrian traffic. Ruined stores surrounded them. "Guys, we really can't go off road," he said.

Deimos shrugged. "Set off the IEDs and continue ahead," he said. "Setsuna! Commence blasting!"

Setsuna nodded and cast detect. She then cast magic bomb on the explosives. After a few minutes, she cleared all the explosives ahead. "We're good," she said.

Scooby climbed b into the Mystery Machine, and waited while the others climbed back in. : so , once we get past this area.. we head off road..' Spyro said landing in front and looking at the hole the IEd made

Once they reached the destination the folks in the tardis filed out.

Brooklyn stretched a bit. "Not long now." He said looking around the area.

Guilmon came out eating a foot long submarine sandwich.

Scooby started the mystery machine, and slowly began driving around the potholes created by the detonated IEDs. Behind them, The Rovermobile came into view, carrying the Rovers and the five tuyrtles, all of whom were sueezed together in the back seet along with Muzzle and Shepp.
-
This is not very comfortable' Venus said, as she was Snestled between Shepp and Leonardo.
_ sorry, about this " Colleen said from the front seat. " But the Rover Mobile isn't meant for so many passengers, we're doing the best we can..'
-
Tigress spoke up from the back seat.. the jostling as the van went over the pitted ground made her naseous. " How much longer before we get the the town? i'm kinda getting sick..
_
AGAIN? Tiger rolled his eyes. "you've been getting sick ever since we ate at that resteraunt.."
_
We.. should be there shortly' agumoin said comfiortingly " agumina put her arm around Tigress and began strioking her fur nar her left ear " does that help?' She asked. ' No" Tigress said flatly.. " just don't throw up on me Tigress' Genki said.
_
We'll be there in a few minutes.. I can see the outline of the town now' dixie said..

Drake, Zack and Zoe were already in the town at the moment, having left a bit earlier on, however, they had so found, found nothing, no villains, no gollems, nothing at all "Well....this sucks" Zack muttered a little bit.

Zoe folded her arms as she took another look around "They did say there was suppose to be some sort of war going on here"

Drake was having a bird's eye view of the area himself before he landed "Nothing at the moment either....could be possible that we are in the wrong area of the town.....I mean, they never did say where abouts in the town the war was to be taking place, but I gathered it would be all over town"

"Well, something better happen soon..." Zack added on with a slight grumble too.

Serris · **Reply #7012 on:** May 17, 2010, 06:49:57 PM

Mr. Bigmouth grunted as the truck drove over the potholes.

The armored Humvees followed them without being significantly impaired by the potholes.

---------------------

One of the dinosaur volunteers in the Great Valley handed Lilo an obsidian knife. "Here Lilo, take this," he said.

Raptix was waiting for Lilo. "So you ready now?" he asked.

---------------------

Haresh went out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of warm vegetable broth to Vaporeon. He placed the bowl in front of her.

"Here you are, warm soup," he said. He then turned to Eevee. "Eevee, I am sorry to report that your dish was...not well received," he said.

MrDrake · **Reply #7013 on:** May 17, 2010, 06:54:52 PM

"Thanks" Vaporeon replied back as she begun to drink from the soup.

Eevee however, gave off a bit of a frown "Aww, but...why not? It was an awesome dish"

"Did you even try it yourself?" Vaporeon asked her.

"Well...no....but it looked good enough" Eevee replied back, feeling a bit upset because of her failed dish.

Nick22 · **Reply #7014 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:03:47 PM

An enemy Convoy rolled into view of Drake Zach and Zoe " A Ferret popped his head out of the tank. " Identify Yourselves at once! He said in a cold voice.. this area is now under our jurisdiction! Either report to the beach for interrogation, or leave at once! "
Lilo took the knife carefully, grasping it by its its thick, flat handle. " I'm ready Raptix... lets head out" She smiled..

MrDrake · **Reply #7015 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:40:04 PM

"We're just a trio of....travelling musicans" Zack spoke up first in an attempt to lie to them "Here, I'll give you an example" he spoke as he begun to play on his guitar, but little did the enemy convoy know, was that he was building up power in the process.

After a few seconds, Zack could not help but give off a smirk, he wasn't about to get arrested all that easily, nor, without putting up an actual fight anyway as he gave off one, final strum and send a fairly powerful soundwave at the convoy, not enough to knock it over however.

Zoe could not help but give off a light sigh as well "Already into the fight I see" she spoke as she raised up a hand and fired an energy blast at the convoy before speaking to the weasel "Sorry, but we don't really listen to those who keep things under their own juristiction.....had enough of that back home as it is"

Drake on the other hand, clenched his fists slightly, about to say something, when a thud was heard upon the convoy.

There was a slight blur as the weasel was taken out followed by the driver of the vehicle before the camoflauge had worn off to reveal himself to the three of them.

"So, you are here after all Ghost" Drake spoke up upon seeing one of their villains standing on top of the conveoy.

Ghost looked at the three of them, but to Drake in particular "I have no choice in the matter mutant, because of your interference earlier on, I am reduced to having to find a way out of this place, one way or another"

Drake just gave off a light chuckle afterwards "Looks like we're in the same boat then...."

"Do not think that I am here to ask for your assistance either" Ghost added on as he jumped off the convoy with ease and looked to the group once again.

"Do you have a choice in the matter?" Drake asked back rather smugly.

Ghost however, immediatly reached out his hand and grabbed Drake by the throat, lifting him off the ground "Do not compare myself with the likes of you and your kind, I will find a way out of here and back to the city...."

Zoe on the other hand, clenched her fists "Let...him...go...." she spoke, raising one of her hands up to Ghost, ready to fire when need be.

Ghost gave off a light sounding chuckle as he let Drake go by that point and looked over to Zoe, unphased by her threats .

"One question I do have, why save us?" Zack decided to ask Ghost, to see if he could actually get an answer from him.

Ghost chuckled some more "You naive mutants....why allow them to kill you when I could have the chance to do so myself? But not yet.....no, I need to escape this place first before anything happens...."

"Then....for once at least, a truce.....we can help each other out here, we all have the same goal here" Drake spoke again.

"Very well then, for now....but once we get back...." Ghost begun as Drake nodded.

"I understand, once we get back, we're enemies again" Drake replied back.

Serris · **Reply #7016 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:47:20 PM

Raptix nodded and headed over to Mr. Bigmouth's grove.

"What materials do we need?" he asked.

Pterano landed in front of him. "We need two calabashes of penthium tree sap. Three calabashes each of of sickleclaw pods and leaves," he said.

Raptix nodded. "All right," he said. He broke off a large leaf leaf sled and handed it to Lilo. He took another for himself. He then grabbed some calabashes and stacked them up on his sled.

------------------

Haresh laughed. "We all make mistakes. Just a few days ago I made a stew that no one else could eat because it was too spicy," he said. His face then turned serious. "On a side note, we need to take inventory of the goods," he said.

Nick22 · **Reply #7017 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:51:45 PM

the remaing convoy opened fire on the four them..bullets richjoted near zoe and drake as the convoy came into view..a mage that was traveling with the convoy started casting spells at them, and they were strong spells as well..

Serris · **Reply #7018 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:58:34 PM

Ironleaf happened to fly over the convoy that was attacking Zoe and Drake.

The pilot radioed Stripetail. "Commander, this is Ironleaf. We have sighted a Dragonstorm convoy attacking two beings on foot. Request permission to engage."

-----------------

A group of SPVDF soldiers were patrolling near the hotel when a female Vulpine wearing some sort of backpack approached them.

"Ma'am, this is restricted area, please turn around and leave," the lead soldier said.

The Vulpine ignored her and continued approaching.

"Get back or we'll shoot!" The soldiers leveled their rifles at the approaching Vulpine.

"This is your last warning. Get back or we'll shoot!"

When the vulpine ignored them, the soldiers opened fire, only to watch in horror as the bullets tore through the Vulpine to no effect.

The soldiers backed away to regroup but it was too late. The metal soldier blew itself up, killing the entire nine man patrol.

MrDrake · **Reply #7019 on:** May 17, 2010, 07:59:46 PM

"You three, take care of the mage.....the rest of them are for me" Ghost was now, practically taking control of the situation over Drake.

Drake, however, decided to agree, knowing that this was not the best time to start up a second argument with Ghost as Zoe started by bringing up an energy barrier followed by her own blasts as the mage.

Zack on the other hand, was playing on his guitar yet again before firing soundwave after soundwave at the mage, these ones weren't as powerful as his previous on, but they could still do some damage.

Ghost on the other hand, charged forward and begun to go hand to hand with the rest of the convoy, grabbing one gun off one soldier before grabbing him by the throat and using him as a temporary human sheild before tossing him at another soldier, giving himself enough time to approach a third soldier and slamming his head against the side of the convoy. He grabbed a grenade off the fallen soldier and simply chucked it at a fourth soldier without bothing to pull the pin, his strength in general was enough to use the grenade as a simple projectile to kill the soldier with it.

***

"So um, where do we start doing that?" Eevee asked Haresh rather curiously.
