Things Keep Getting Better and Better [Open]

"Yes! YES!"

In the hangar, amongst the various vehicles and machines that line the expansive room, Lord Zedd had found something he had been looking for for the longest time: Serpentera. Exposed within the damaged area from KAIN's attempt to kill Sasami, the head of the massive Warzord stood exposed and, at its base, the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Evil", excited to see his weapon of mass destruction on board the ship. From the angle where he was looking at, though, it was hard to see just how big the thing was, especially since it was laying down.

"So, it seems not everything has been lost. Serpentera still stands, thus I still have some sort of power here." Zedd said. At that moment, a few of Zedd's Z-Putties started to flank him. "Putties! Guard Serpentera. I'm certain Billy's told everyone about me by now. I refuse to let anyone take advantage of that. If they're going to win this 'war', they're gonna need my help! Like it or not!"

With that, Zedd began pacing the Hangar, eying various leftover vehicles in an attempt to see what would make excellent monsters.

Oh, look at that. A funny-looking man in a silly costume, plotting someone's demise. Midna simply had to find out what this was about.

She floated up, banging on Serpentera's flank with one delicate fist. "So. What's this hunk of junk?"

Lash had been busy in the hanger herself, trying to see if there were more of her Neotanks to be found when Zedd's delightful whispered sounds of joy (aka overly grandiose villain voice) echoed so far to reach her ears.

"Serpentina..." she repeated, rubbing her hand against her chin. This, of course, would require her to tell the others and...oh who are we kidding, she was already waltzing over there like nothing was wrong and peered thought the putties to see what they were looking at.

"Hey that's a pretty big dragon!" Seriously, she was expecting a SNAKE or something with a name like that. Probably with a giant Z on it.

"That, my friend, is Serpentera." Zedd said. "My Warzord and the answer to all of our troubles!"

Making sure the Putties didn't attack immediately, Zedd continued. "This machine has enough firepower to destroy a world. I'll make those Ohm regret ever making their presence known!"

Well, giant dragon's close enough. No Z, though!

"It is! It's bigger than anything else in this place!" Zedd said. "This... this is what will earn us our victory. That I'm sure!" He stopped and blinked (if he could) "Wait..." He turned back to see Lash there, though he still didn't put two and two together yet.

Give that man some ham.

Midna continued examining Serpentera, looking skeptical. "A Warzord? Well, it's big and ugly, all right, but wouldn't a real dragon be better? Can it even breathe fire?"

She had been waiting. It would have been smart of her to be sleeping, but she had business right now. It started by accessing the situation. Those...whatever they were, looked pretty sturdy. She didn't have a lot of time to be fighting them, so she figured she would have to go for a weak spot.
It was hard to not notice the big Z's on their chest. She would try that first, though that seemed far too stupid and simple to actually be the solution. She would have to be certain though.

It was obvious that this had to be dealt with, soon. Billy was her Bonded, Ronnae was her friend and he was threatening them, the same as Azula. Those thoughts drove her purpose. It was time to make a stand, to show these s-called major villains that they were not going to victimize people anymore.

She came at the putties with her mask on, going straight the the Z's. The training Sheeana gave her made her cold and quiet, directing force with a single blow, enough to know the enemy completely out of commission. In this case, they work well, and she was making her way silently toward Lord Zedd.

It was time she made something clear.

There was a roar of a motorcycle as a young man pulled up on it, wearing a helmet and a pair of gloves. He gazed at the massive head of Serpentera and remarked "That's quite the machine. How interesting."

Hoping that Hoshi wouldn't get mad at him for being released before she did, he stepped forward, book cradled in his hand as he brought his fingers up near his lips, examining it, and the skinless man who just screamed "bad news". And yet, curiosity won out and Phillip inquired, "How much ordinance does it carry?"

"Bah!" Zedd scoffed. "Can dragons destroy whole worlds in one breath? I think not!"

Most dragons don't run out of power so quickly.

Zedd may or may not have passed the big blue tyrannosaurus-shaped mech (http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j51/ohmypteras/59-129.png) on his prowl through the hangar. It stood there placidly enough, as unmoving as any machine ought to be, but anyone coming near it might have gotten the impression that it - or something - was staring at them.

The first Putty went down pretty quickly, exploding with its great force. The others would follow suit. However, it wouldn't let her get away with being too quiet.

"Hrrn... who's there?!" Zedd snapped, turning as he heard the Putties' disappearance. Someone was here. "What's wrong, Billy? Decided to take care of me once and for all?!"

"Enough to obliterate an entire planet. That is, if some people learned to keep the thing charged up!" Zedd said, not caring who the person was at the moment. At the very least, he wasn't trying to pick a fight. Not yet at least.

And, indeed, Zedd did have the feeling that something was watching him. And he didn't like it. Who or what it was, he couldn't tell. For the moment, he decided to brush it off.

"Hmm," said Phillip with a nod, approaching Serpentera and reaching out, rapping the metal hide once. "Good sturdy material, incredible aesthetic design... I must learn more about it!"

Turning towards Zedd, and frankly not caring that he screamed evil, he began to pester him with questions. "How fast does it run? Sublight or warp speed? Engine drive, how much energy does it take? How often can you use it at maximum capacity?"

"Do I look like Albert Einstein to you?!" Zedd snapped at Phillip's questions. "All I know is is that it can travel the galaxy in a matter of minutes and that it can run as long as possible as long as it didn't overexert itself!"

Really, that's about as much as he could figure out. Or remembered.

"Eee hee hee! Whole worlds, huh? Sounds scary." She lowered herself down closer to Zedd, not quite in arm's reach.

"But something as big as this always has a weakness. You know what they say: they bigger they are..."

Kaya wasted no time, and rose, high in the air. She let loose ice shards from her fingertips with a lethal throw, taking out several of them. She would be nowhere near as accurate as Mai, but it would get the job done. The putties were falling, and she was now in viewing range of Lord Zedd.

He looked like something of a nightmare, and his chrome seemed to give a malignant shine. But Kaya cared about one of this.

"Not Billy," she said, but I'm here to take a message to you, in his defense."

And she ran toward him.

"Hmm, then I suppose it's a weapon of last resort, to attack when your opponent is down." replied Phillip, slightly disappointed that Zedd couldn't just give him the stats. He supposed he would have to try and look it up later on in the Gaia Library.

"Still, its an impressive piece of machinery. I take it it belongs to you then."

"Well, then. Let me give him a message back." Zedd said, turning in the direction of where Kaya was. "Don't try something foolhardy against someone like me."

With that, he raised his Z-Staff and fired a burst of lightning.

She figured this was coming. She seized the sludge that was Stacy's water and froze an iceberg just in time, moving as the pieces few everywhere. They bounced hard off her skin but she didn't care. She rushed forward, then gathered the water and sent a rather hard wave at him.

"This message is from ME!" She said, her voice hard with fury.

The wave came hard and fast, yet when it crashed, Zedd stood fast and was quick to counter.

"Message received, child!" Zedd roared, putting himself into a defensive stance, ready for any fight that might happen.

"And if it did, I wouldn't tell it to anyone...!" Zedd said. That was probably a big clue that it had a glaring weakness so obvious even a child would know it!

"If I could use it more, it wouldn't be 'last resort'!" Zedd said. "But, yes, it is mine."

"Mmm I see." said Phillip with a nod. "Truly an impressive piece of equipment."

"What is its name?" inquired Phillip. "Surely something this big needs a name."

There was no holding anything back, not anymore. Kaya had trained with the Bene Gesserit, knowing that there would be times her speed had to be dead on, so quick she couldn't be detected. You got in trouble with that when Stacy realized something was happening.

She went for any soft exposed part she could see, and continued to fight with redistribution of force. She had to look at it like that Master Pakku fight Katara had: the martial art had to be there, but faster when you did it barehanded. She didn't waste any time.

There was too much for Billy to worry about, with Zedd here. He could at least be reasoned with, unlike Azula, but that didn't mean she was going to hold back, not when the threat was real.

Having given Lil her exploration through town, 779 and Miguel made their way to the hangar in hopes to spot his Wraith fighter.

In their search however he hears Zedd being all loud like in the Obs deck during pod pop. He looks up at the mech and raises an eyebrow.

"Don' ya think it's unnecessary big? Not to mention the design looks... flimsy."

[Dude that shit looks like something out of a cheap earth cartoon man. Bigger ass bigger target yo.] The second voice came from a doll in his side bag. Said doll was sporting a sombrero, an eyepatch and a green '1-up' shirt.
