Inferno

[Machaeus]

Urufu's wound has regenerated, since he pulled out the silver blade. He glares at where Maug stood and snarls. "I'm gonna kill that b@stard if it's the last thing I do."
"Hold on," Sheldon says, a smirk on his face. "Go in with some protection." He pulls out two moonrocks, each half-embedded in a spiked collar. "These'll give us a boost to our wolf forms, so we're not affected by silver."
"Sheldon, you're a genius," Urufu smirks, grabbing his new collar and putting it on. "You'd better wake up Jenny, and find a way to heal Ruri."

(I know, it's out of line with the timeline, but I had to add it sometime. Thanks for understanding.)

Champ:Okay, any ideas where Maug went?

[Machaeus]

"No, but I know someone who can find him," Urufu grins, grabbing a small talisman in his pocket. "Cross-dimensional summon," he explains. "All I have to do is call Belkar Bitterleaf and tell him this Maug guy made fun of how short he is."
"You sure it's a good idea to have a homocidal halfling loose around here?" Sheldon asks, apprehensiveness dripping from his voice.
"It's all we got for now, unless Bosun Jumping works like teleportation and leaves behind a way to trace him, in which case Vaarsuvius is our man." He breaks the talisman, shouting, "BELKAR BITTERLEAF, OF THE ORDER OF THE STICK, I CALL YOU TO MY SIDE!"
The talisman puffs into smoke, and a short, angry, MS-Paint-sticks-for-limbs humanoid appears. "What the - oh, it's Fugly the Werewolf," he leers.
"A man named Maug, grandfather of Phineas Maug, called you too short to bite ankles."
"OKAY, THAT'S IT!" the halfling shouts, drawing a pair of small scimitars, "I'm gonna cut off this b@st@rd's head with my left upper canine, then p!ss on the remains!"
As they follow Belkar, Urufu grins. "I work with the tools I've been given. Sue me."
"Roy wouldn't like people quoting him," Belkar says as he piles into a ship.
"Can you fly this thing?"
"I'll find a way. Anger drives me." In only five seconds he's learned every control but the big red button. "That's usually self-destruct, so I'm not touching that. Self-preservation and all."

Maug, meanwhile, has just appeared in his grandson's home.

"Grandfather! What are you doing here?!" Phineas says.

"Those meddling children! They have gotten control of the Inferno! I need something that can regain control of it!" Maug says.

Maug's grandson thinks for a moment. An idea hits him. "KENNY, Come!" He yells.

The robotic man-dog run into the room, wagging his tail.

"I have a special mission for you..." Phineas says, grinning madly.

[Machaeus]

Suddenly the home of Phineas Maug is annihilated in a very nasty explosion - all three occupants barely make it outside, and Kenny is pretty badly damaged. "D@MMIT! MISSED THEM!" Belkar shouts.

[Champ]

Ruri:How do you miss with that!

[Machaeus]

"This thing says something about radar waves detected," he says, tapping the screen.
"Well we can still kick their cans," Urufu snorts.
"Wait," Jenny says. "Kenny?"
"You know that guy?" the lycan asks, suddenly interested.
"Yeah. I dated him once - he turned out to be part dog."
"Does he have a tickle spot too? Like your current boyfriend?"
"Shut up."

[Champ]

Ruri:Boson readings detected toward the back of the ship...

[Machaeus]

"Blah blah b!tch b!tch not LISTENING!" Belkar tells Ruri. He shortly eats his words (and the joystick) as the group is hit from behind. When he pulls himself off of the steering controls, he looks up - though "down" is currently more appropriate - and mutters, "Why is the sky brown here?"
"Shut up and put this thing right-side up!" Urufu shouts, grabbing the controls. He rights the vehicle and pulls it up at the last second. "Just get the Elder Maug!"
"No, really? I thought you were looking to kill the Elder Toguro."
THUNK. "ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO MAKE STUPID REFERENCES TO KICK4SS ANIME!" Urufu bellows.
"GUYS, SHUT UP AND KILL HIM BEFORE - " Ruri starts. She is interrupted as the ship is hit again.

[Champ]

Champ:What in the world hit us?

[omnios]

"Slag if I know!" Eric says, having been thrown on top of Vega.

"I might like this position if I and my husband wern't in mortal danger...." Vega says, lifting her husband off of herself.

"Good point." Eric says, getting up. He helps his wife up, and dusts her off.

The ship shakes again.

[Champ]

Ruri:First off, that last sequence was disturbing, second, WHAT IS HITTING US!?

[Machaeus]

"Little red lights," Belkar replies.
"Great, they have a laser weapon. Jenny, now that we've found them, you can round them up, right?" Urufu asks.

[Champ]

Jenny:No, they keep moving too fast.

[Machaeus]

"Great," Urufu grunts. "I wish I had another talisman - I could summon Soma Cruz from 'Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow', and he'd just freeze time and kick their @$$es."
"That's GOTTA be illegal," Jenny says.
"It only lasts for so long, and as long as he doesn't have a Chaos Ring equipped, he can only do it so many times." BWAM! "But screw shoulda-coulda-woulda, we need to find a way to predict their movements. Ruri, can you jump out and try to find a point where they're vulnerable?"
