With the monsters out of the way, the party was able to continue walking down the abandoned aqueduct, wondering where the exit could be. However, it seemed as though they could not get a lucky break. When they were getting close to the central area, they noticed a couple of fairies hovering around some machinery. It must have been ancient technology, but, after tinkering for a few seconds, the fairies were able to activate the machines. They were two robots meant for cleaning the aqueducts. Whirring sounds filled the cavernous area which seemed to disturb a nearby crab. It produced a large amount of foam and snapped its claws angrily. It was time for another showdown.

Realising he was the only one with great magical ability, Cage knew he would have to deal with the machines. His cards fluttered around, making false shots at the machines every so often. He looked at Roger and smiled a bit.

"I'll keep the machines away from you if you keep the fairies and crab off of me."

Duke starts at I4

"More crabs and fairies," Duke noted. "And as a special bonus, two new robots! I'm really beginning to wonder if this was all just an accident. Quartz usually does better work than this." He sighed and looked over the field again. "Hello! A poor lonely bag was left all alone." Duke smiled. H was a bit miffed that he forgot the bag the last time, but he would make up for it now. "Fear not! I, sir Duke, will save you!"

Player Phase 1!

Roger moves to H5.

Roger shot a frightened glance at Cage, but nodded in the end, though he wasn't sure if he could keep the mischievous creatures at bay or not. He edged closer, sticking to the side of the bridge, and hoped that they wouldn't notice him right away. "No one can notice, no they can't notice, can't notice, can't notice," he repeated to himself in a nearly inaudible whisper.

Roger waits.

Duke moves to F4

"Let's get this over with," Duke smiled. He covered the distance between the closest crab in three bounds and tapped on it's shell. "Hello!" he smiled. He leapt forward and landed on the crabs head then kicked off the shell, back-flipping to land in front of it.

Duke attacks Shell! Two hits! 10 dmg each!

Ryu waits

Ryu knew that she wouldn't be very useful this battle, with most of the enemies seemingly being well armored. After a bit of thought, she decided that it would be the best if she took a page out of the White Tiger's book and just stayed where she was now waiting for the enemiesto come to her.

(Damage: 100% Atk/Effect: Stop 50%/Element: --)

Cage snapped his fingers, the cards fluttering around him snaping into place. They shot at the fairies, cutting up at one, hitting it until wounds were made. And suddenly mana wrapped around the fairy, threatening to do something, but as it dispersed, there was little evidence it had done something.

Enemy Phase.

Shell moves to F3.

The crab was not pleased with Duke's attack and scuttled around him before gripping him tightly about the torso with a large claw. It squeezed to the point of pain, but couldn't keep the grip.

Shell uses Relentless Vice on Duke! 8 Water Dmg! (ATK)

MP: 12/20

Oceania moves to C5.

The fairy who had managed to not get frozen in time hovered forward a bit and pointed a finger at Evan for some reason. She chattered angrily and unleashed a blast of harmless blue energy at him. Though it did no damage, it did have an adverse effect that Evan would be regretting very soon.

Oceania casts Waterna on Evan!

MP: 39/45

Evan is Weak against the Water element!

Cleanser attacks Duke! 6 Water Dmg! (INT)

One of the robots in the back raised a powerful looking gun and aimed it at Duke. Fortunately, only a high-powered jet of water spurted out of it at Duke. The bad side was that it was enough to seriously damage him.

Cleanser waits.

Roger moves to G3.

Roger noticed that the crab had gotten dangerously close to everyone and was even attacking. He became determined to silence it. Without giving it a second thought, he rushed up to the thing and raised his greatsword with astonishing speed before delivering several strikes to the creature. With every strike, a seal appeared in the air and shattered with the blow. The intention was to seal the creature's special attacks so it wouldn't be a hassle anymore. "N-no m-more from you," he muttered, giving the crab a frightened, yet strangely angry, look.

Roger uses Restriction on Shell! 11 Dmg with a chance of Silence! (ATK)

Cage attacks Oceania!
(Damage: 100% Atk/Effect: Stop 50%/Element: --)

Cage snapped his fingers again, noticing the fairy that had been frozen in time. With a sly smile, the same actions from before played out. But this time, the other fairy was the chosen target. Cards striking until a wound was made and time mana coating the pixie.

Duke sighed. He really wanted to get back at the crab, but he had more pressing issues, in the form of a rather inviting-looking bag, and an annoying fairy. Tears (fake, of course) welled in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Shell," he sniffed, "but we just can't be together anymore." He dramatically took a sobbing breath. "It's not you, it's me... who am I kidding, it is you!" he let the tears flow. "You're just to clinging. I want soem me time." He pushed out of the claws grip easily standing on in. He was sure he even got the soap bubble background with his pose.

"Please understand! I really did love you! Goodbye!" He leapt of with an extravagant flip, letting the tears flash from his face with that nice sparkle effect. On his landing, his both feet slammed into the fairy's neck, by accident of course.

"Oh, so sorry," he smiled. "In my sorrow, I hit you!"

Duke moves to D5.
Duke uses Swing Ankle on Oceania! [-8MP][12/20] Two hits! 12 dmg each!

Ryu moves to cell I-5

Ryu saw no real threat to her at the moment and ran o the other wall, still waiting for a chance to strike without drawing the attention of more than one of these...things.

Enemy Phase.

Shell moves to F4.

The crab ignored all the attacks that fell upon it and instantly targeted the man who was now weak against water thanks to the fairy's spell. It scuttled along and beat Evan in the stomach with a large claw, the pain doubled.

Shell attacks Evan! 14 Water Dmg! WEAKNESS!! (ATK)

Cleanser moves to A5.

The nearby robot took the crab's example and scooted over to take aim at Evan. Suddenly, the dual blade found himself being sprayed with a speeding stream of water.

Cleanser attacks Evan! 12 Water Dmg! WEAKNESS!! (INT)

Evan evades Wet!

Valence attacks Duke! 6 Water Dmg! (INT)

Valence still did not move, but did fire a stream of water at the oncoming intruder, causing the trick step to become drenched from head to toe.

Roger moves to D3.

Roger noticed something odd about the last fairy. The time magic binding it was starting to weaken, and soon, it would be wanting to get revenge. To prevent that, he rushed the fairy and struck it with his greatsword in an attempt to kill it, but the damage just wasn't enough at this point. The fairy still had quite a bit of life in it.

Cage saw his chance rushing forward, pulling two dice from thin air. He stopped short, his arm flinging forward, cards rushing to and fro erratically. As the dice hit the crab, they bounced off and began to roll. As the number became apparent, the cards lashed out at the crab angrily.

"I win."

"Great," Duke complained, flashing the water from his eyes. "Now I got water in my shoes. You know how annoying that is?" He scowled as he stomped over to the machine, his shoes making squeaky an squishy sounds with each step.
"I was going to ignore you, but you just had to attack. You soaked my clothes too. If I get sick, so help me I'll sue you!" He kicked the machine in the front and then again underneath.

Cleanser moves to A4.

The soaked Duke was now the prime target. The cleaning robot beeped a few times before lining up perfectly with the man. Suddenly, myriad jolts of electricity shot out at Duke, the water acting as a conductor to amplify the impact of the lightning.

Cleanser uses Shock Surge on Duke! 14 Lightning Dmg! WET!! (INT)

Duke evades Paralysis!

Valence moves to C2.

The other robot suddenly came forward and aimed his spray gun unexpectedly to the sky. When the water shot out of it, it rained down upon Roger and the fairy without mercy, though the fairy seemed to be enjoying benefits from it. Roger, however, was forced to kneel beneath the mighty fountain of water.

Roger uses Iron Maiden on Relea! 4 hits! 9 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

MP: 4/20

Roger had meant to save his best move for later, but now that the fairy was now free from the time magic bond, she was the biggest threat at the moment. Besides, Roger knew that he could easily demolish her. He thrust his sword into her before leaping over her and stabbing her in the back while illusory copies stabbed her in the sides. There was no hope for her now. "G-gone," he whispered to himself and backed up unsteadily, his clothes drenched.

Roger moves to G3.

Duke moves to E3
Duke uses Herb! 10 HP recovered! (12/25 HP)

Duke ran made a strategic retreat. Wet clothes (and shoes) + electric tooting cleaning bots did not equal a happy Duke. He snitched appropriated a herb from the pack and eyed it uncertainly. He didn't want to think about how his precious-red-gem would react to him falling in battle (again) but herbs weren't high on his favorite foods list (few vegetables were.) Unfortunately, he had to do what he had to do. Cringing, he slowly chewed repulsive thing, singing to himself. "I'm Popeye the sailor man *toot*, I'm Popeye the sailor man."
