The grotesque torrent is truly a sight to behold, and it chooses no favorites. ana fell's Furret rushes to slam the Iron Bundle and disable it before it can wreak more havoc, but that only earns it the attention of the creature. Its head spins to face its attacker, sending it splashing all across the crowd. Tempest Quinn's celebrating Vaporeon, standing upon the high and open stage, is caught in the crossfire, and doused with the sludge. However, it gets it far better than Furret, who is practically washed away by the ceaseless stream of... Oil? Motor Fluid? Paint? Either way, both are absolutely coated in the stuff.

For the remainder of the Raid, ana fell and Tempest Quinn must use the following sprites for Furret and Vaporeon, respectively:

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), an elf-shaped Kazimir Wynter grabs the machine and aims it just about everywhere before finally managing to find an empty-enough spot in the crowd to redirect its stream. That, in combination with a Springtide Storm from Eris Halla's Luxray, helps to mitigate the the mess being made. After that, all it took was a well-aimed Sucker Punch from Aidan Hereford's Gengar to forcibly shut its beak and stop the vomiting for good.

In fact, the Sucker Punch might've done a little too good of a job. Not only did the beak shut, but its entire head shattered from the force of the blow, sending shards flying everywhere? Was it really so frail that it would break from a single hit? Well, it had been malfunctioning, so maybe--

01010011 01000101 01010110 01000101 01001110 00100000 01001101 01001001 01001110 01010101 01010100 01000101 01010011...

A bleat of distorted gibberish sounds from right behind Aidan Hereford, and sure enough, the Iron Bundle is there. If Kazimir Wynter were to inspect closer, he would find that what he was holding was a Substitute doll of a type. That explained how it avoided the blow, but even so, how did it get from here to there so quickly?

There was no time to ponder that query, as it was already preparing its revenge. Heaving its futuristic sack over its shoulder, the device would flash and flicker like no tomorrow, before firing out what could only be described as a disaster, a whirling cyclone whose bitter cold could chill one to the bone. As the Ice Spinner was launched forth, it twisted and swung about wildly, picking up just about everyone and everything unlucky enough to get in its way, only to unceremoniously and recklessly fling them out mere moments later.

It was complete and utter chaos, and it showed no mercy, especially not to those stupid enough to get in its way.

Most people don’t even try to fight back against the disaster bearing down upon them. After all, how can one fight against this natural phenomenon, unnatural though it may be. Most of the crowd just run for their lives. Others hunker down underneath whatever shelter they can find. The end result is complete and utter chaos.

One of those trying to escape said chaos is ana fell, whose Gardevoir the pair to safety. Alas, perhaps she should have been a little more scrupulous about what “safety” was. Instead of landing on solid ground, ana fell found herself in the air, and would quickly proceed to fall down, right on top of where Eris Halla was standing. Still, they were safe, and that was what mattered.

Fortunately, before things could get too out of hand, Aidan Hereford’s Gengar would step up to the challenge of stopping the raging whirlwind. Although, it wouldn’t quite go how it had hoped. As it opened its mouth wide to perform a Hypnosis upon the force of nature (A somewhat questionable choice, given it was neither awake nor asleep in the first place), it unintentionally ended up sucking the icy whorl straight into its mouth, devouring it whole. That, of course, was the good news. The bad news, however, is that it left the Gengar with a killer case of brain freeze.

However, that gave the others the opportunity they needed to strike back against the source of all the havoc - The Iron Bundle.

First up was Eris Halla’s Wooper, who fired out Stone Edges meant to act as a ramp. The logic was to use the Paradox Pokemon’s own momentum against it, to send it flying high into the air and crashing down to the ground. However, as the mysterious machine skidded about, the moment it grew too close to the Stone Edges, it suddenly ground to a complete halt.

Still, it wasn’t all bad, because it left the others with a stationary target.

Tempest Quinn was the first to take advantage of this, but he made one critical mistake - Candy Type might’ve perfectly countered Machine Type, but Candy Type was countered in kind by Creepy Type, rendering the match-up neutral. Thus, the Iron Bundle quickly turned the tables, extending a flipper towards the Syrup Bomb, and causing it to freeze in mid-air. Then, with a flick of its joints, the globule of syrup was sent flying back, hitting Tempest Quinn and completely coating him in the sticky liquid. This action would surely be seen for what it was, and surely, no childish innuendo would be made about it.

Kazimir Wynter, meanwhile, would have a little more success. His Lokix leapt straight into action, and aimed an Axe Kick to hit the Iron Bundle. However, it would return this gesture in kind, leaping up and aiming a Flip Turn towards the Lokix. The two attacks would clash, and while Lokix was clearly more powerful, the Iron Bundle would be able to escape, a geyser of foul-smelling water spraying out and sending it flying back.

And then, there was a showdown - Three muscled men on one side, a horrifying robot on the other, with two women watching on the sidelines. For his part, the Iron Bundle made no moves. It just slouched over, staring at the ground, completely unmoving. It was as though it was daring them to make the first move.

Just how would this escalate next?
