Insane Cafe 3: The Curse of the Haunted Hotel

[Serris]

Mr. Bigmouth entered Stripetail's room with some. Inside were magic staves, tomes and other assorted wizarding paraphenalia.

He grabbed a staff that was capped with a red gem. He tossed one to an elderly Gecko woman.

He then quickly radioed Stripetail. "Stripetail, I found some magic staves in your room. What do they do?" he asked.

A bolt of fire soared overhead as the woman accidentally activated the staff, luckily the bolt flew out the open window.

[Nick22]

the gems  colorindicate what they do " REd is Fire, blue is  electricty, white is Ice and Gray is stone, the gray staff can create stone golems. hardly ever use it, having little use for stone golems in my normal affairs. came the reply.. the books contain various spells, be warned these spells require strong magical powers to pull off, if your powers aren't strong enough they won't work..." SDtripetail said.

[Kor]

Once those foes were down Jason did a quick scan of the weapons and ammo while Gallantmon kept watch.  Then Jason did a collection spell together the usable weapons and ammo that were still good and did a teleport spell to teleport them to the hotel, thinking that some there could use them and also preventing any enemy from recovering them.  

---------

Near the other battlefield not near the hotel the tardis appeared and after a bit some of the uninjured folks left the tardis.  Sara's uncle did a spell together the metal from the ruins, bits of building, rebar, and other sources and once he had 2 piles of metals he shaped them into humanoid shapes then thinking a bit thought why not and shaped them still using magic into looking exactly like Beavis and Butthead wearing very small backpacks.  Internally they had 2 small tanks.  With these they could draw in oxygen into 1 tank and hydrogen from the other, from the surrounding air, or any other flammable gas, and when expelling it from either end could ignite it.  With the very small backpacks, all really made of metal as most of their bodies were, they could use as a source of metal to fire needle like slivers of metal silently at around 500 miles an hour at their foes.  As well as being able to pick up weapons or eat metal to replenish their store of metal.  & a bit more resilient to damage then regular metal.  Once done he sent them off to fight the invaders.  As well as an audotory illusion spell so they could sound exactly like Beavis and Butthead with various phrases and dialog.  Once sent off they went off to fight some invaders.

meanwhile group had more or less fallen asleep, with the exception of dixie and tigress' dixie rested her head against scooby, and sighed ' best get your sleep' tigress said ' i'm trying, but its not working..' she mutterd ' how are you.. ' well i've been fine actually the last few days, only felt naseous a little bit today' tigress said ' i imagine stripetail will be rousing us in a few hours..

[Serris]

"Thanks!" Mr. Bigmouth said. He swept up the magic staves and tossed them to the defenders. He then radioed Briggins. "Briggins! How close are the attackers?" he asked.

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

Deimos and his squad had finished laying IEDs and assorted booby traps around the wrecked cafe. They then dispersed around the area, waiting for the enemy to approach.

[Nick22]

half a mile, but theres a black cloud blocking thier view...' Briggins said... "lets go off on them...Now!
 Enemy forces drove by., and the IEDs activated

[Serris]

Th IEDs immobilized several enemy vehicles and killed quite a number of soldiers. Suddenly, they came under fire from all directions as Deimos and his squad opened fire from the rooftops and buildings, cutting them.

The soldiers quickly scrambled for cover and returned fire in earnest. A Wolf boy stuck his head out a little too far to fire his rifle and was killed by a Dragonstorm trooper.

A Vulpine girl who was sniping from the rooftops died when the damaged balcony she was on gave way.

One of the Dragonstorm soldiers ducked behind his immobilized Humvee to reload when Deimos shot him.

[Nick22]

The Hotel denfses were strengthebned as the Golden Sun and  Silver Moioon came into View and started firing at the enemy forces, the black screen keeping the metal soldiers froiom locating them..

[Serris]

Mr. Bigmouth reached the lobby with his force of "mages". "Briggins, would you prefer a firearm or a magic staff?" he asked.

Several of the "mages" had partnered up with the defenders wielding standard firearms.

Several of the ghosts carried the explosive pies.

The

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

The Beavis and Butthead robots shredded apart the infantry with their deadly combination of metal shard launchers and flamethrowers but were essentially useless against the armored vehicles and metallic soldiers. They were also mocking the troops with assorted vulgarities.

Two of the soldiers each fired an anti-tank rocket at the the two robots from a distance.

A soldier tried to lock onto Golden Sun with an anti-air missile launcher but his squad was killed by a rocket launched from Silver Moon.

[Nick22]

Give me a staff.. Briggins said taking a blue gemmed staff " you get anything useful from the wizards room..? He asked..
The Ghosts floated to the windows where a numbers of small catapaiults mahad been assembled.  one ghost put one pie down, wile another launched it.

[Kor]

Jason cast an acidball spells that he lauched at some enemy troops and their vehicles.
Then an exploding acid ball that he sent to erupt above a group of enemies and their forces.  

Gallantmon held up his lance saying, "Lightning Joust" which caused lightning to shoot out from his lance.

[Nick22]

At this time the clouds above the hotel became stormy, a cold fornt was coming , and this would factor into the battle considerably. Rain began poouring down on the hotel and the town.. while in Neptune City the sky remained clear
_ finally Dixie managed to get to sleep. Tigeress soon followed her.. and the group slept for a few hours before Stripetail roused them  " Get up everyone1 We're headingout!

[Nick22]

Scooby stirred from his Sleepo and Dixie And tigeress sctivated thier armor " time to get back to kicking some butt" Genki grinned. Ri Rish re rould ret roome rore reep
" scoobby muttered through his hemlet as the group headed downstairs.
 _ Good to see you get here ' Stripetail said " Get in your vehicles We're going on the offensive
_ Chong  meanwhile was going through some of his spells :' Mr Goat! he gsaid through his radio I need a status report!"

[Kor]

Jason cast a freezing area spell at a group as he also breathed cold onto the same area as Gallantman held up his shield in another direction and fired off an energy attack saying as he did so, "Shield of the Just."

[Nick22]

A Number of Deimos forces  threw rocks at the enemy, when they the chance, a pair of small snakes slithered up a ruined starwell to get a better angle. the rain was starting to come down harder noow, the cafe where they were was scamt protection from the driving rain. the wind blew through cracks in the wall and rain dripped onto the defenders crouched behind debris . It was a miserable feeling..

[Serris]

"Magic staves and some potions," Mr. Bigmouth said.

He sighed as he realized that the rain impeded his visibility.

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

The Goat shot a Sang-Heili trooper. "We lost the convention center but since the defenders pulled out, we easily retook it. We attempting work on a teleportation complex there. And apparently, 200 defenders fled from the hotel in Surf Point," he said.

The roar of several 155 mm artillery cannons shelling the Sang-Heili base was heard.

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

Deimos swore as the wind knocked his bullet off course. His heavy armor protected him from gunshots but did little against the cold rain.

"Deimos! I'm cold!" a Husky girl said. She was reloading her SMG.

"Suck it up!" Deimos snapped.

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

The mess hall in the Sang-Heili base was filled with fish, pancakes, hashbrowns and other breakfast foods.

Setsuna grabbed some salted fish as Haresh helped himself to a fruit salad.

[Nick22]

hmm trying to thin our forces.. a desperate move..  all in all chong frowned..
 _it was then the 500 troops stripetail had sent to control the convention engaged the Dragonstorm forces there in battle..
_ Well, breakfast under bombardment is not the way I planned to spend the morning Stripetail said " i have not got confirmation from the men I sent to the convention center, it is quite possible that Dragonstorm retook it after we departed... which means we'll have to retake it a second time..more lives will be lost in that endevor
 _ hows the hotel holding up?' shaggy asked piling his plate high with food ' ITs under seige by a large Dragonstorm army..theres little we can do for them here.. they will have to hold up as best they can until we can get a better foothold in the city
_ Captain milos picked at his food " MY SPVDF is virtually wiped out, wew;re down to less than 100, wizard.. You could teleport the remaining men under my command there "
_
 Alright, But I'll need to eat something first" Stripetail said " that will take a good bit of energy to pull off.

[Nick22]

give the potions to the mages " See if they can't get anything useful out of them..Briggins said as the sounds of battle continued outside.. mixed with the sound of rain peltering the windoows..
_ The DEfenders sent a series of pies into the the air, which exploded with a loud bang upon hitting the ground.. this forces the Dragonstorm attackers to move back out of range. the pie had killed some oif them, but there were still over 4000 left, not including those who had gone after Deimos and his allies.
 Scooby ate his food silently, ' Re're roing rack rinto rattle right?
 _ Yeah, its not as if we have much choice" Tiger said from a nearby table " I didn't get much sleep last night' the wolf admitted..

[Kor]

Sara got an idea and looked around to see where Tarrax was as well as sending a mental message via a quick spell to her uncle as well.  


----

Jason breathed out some lightning as he used the staff to cast a freezing chain lightning spell in another direction.

[Serris]

Ceela picked at her plate of fish. "My own forces are down substantially," she said.

Ms. Swimmer nodded. "I am not sure if we can get more Great Valley troops but I will try," she said.

Strut sighed as he put his radio away. "Carson City Camp is no longer sending us reinforcements, the previous transport planes are all we got," he said.

"F---!" Zachary shouted.

Haresh was eating a fruit salad. "I'll go make some more metal soldiers," he said.

The cafeteria shook as a 155 mm artillery shell landed nearby.

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

In the convention center, the allied troopers were engaged in a ferocious battle with Dragonstorm troopers and metal soldiers.

One of the troopers had strapped C4 to a partially completed teleporter. But before she could detonate it, one of the workers cracked her across the head with a heavy wrench, killing her.

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

Mr. Bigmouth flung a foaming green potion at the attackers. To his surprise, the potion flew into the air and detonated, showering the attackers in acid. Unfortunately, the rain diluted the acid; as a result the attackers were totally unaffected. He switched to using his rifle just as a fireball flew through a window next to him.

Several of the defenders were finding it difficult to draw a bead on the attackers through the driving rain.

Hans, Werner and Franz were using shotguns to pick off soldiers who got within range.

Dr. Kerzach and Clive were busy dealing with the wounded. Speaking of which, they were carrying a Raven who had been shot in the arm to the Great Valley for treatment.
