The Confrontation

Greasy Jack, the Mysterious Mechanical Train Robber Extraordinaire, was ready to confront the party he had summoned to the corral. Like a hat trick, the wind suddenly picked up furiously and lifted the sand to obscure everyone's vision, but after a few moments it resided and there appeared the large figure of a mechanical spider, probably as large as a small train cart. Crawling a few steps toward them, it began to speak with a deep, scratchy voice.

"So I see you decided to show up with some little bodyguards here, little lady. I thought I warned you against that!"

Tapping the side of her face, the conductor looked 'Greasy Jack' over. What an interesting mechanical creature. She had never seen anything like it before, but it didn't frighten her. In fact, it made her grow curious instead.

"I know you sent me a warning against that, good sir." Conductor-san then moved both of her arms against her chest. "However, I felt that these individuals could offer me some kind of protection should this have been a trap. No worries, if you are willing to reach a peaceful solution to this predicament, no harm will be brought upon you." Her eyes wandered over to her companions, studying their various reactions.

Robo-Ky fiddles with the sword strapped to his back, internally whirring and clicking his various parts, weapons and functions. He charges up his capacitors and slides ammo into place.
"Must we resort to peace?"

The Battle

[[ After the plot builds up a bit in the thread above, we'll get things started here with the NPC. This is where the mission really starts! ]]

One minute had passed since the time Greasy Jack had designated to be the fight for their showdown and there was no one in sight. Chuckling to himself, he figured that the group had gotten scared and had run off. Served them right, after all, for trying to go up against him. As he turned to walk away, he heard footsteps approaching.

Maria, armed with her gun, as well as several weapons she'd taken from Robo-Ky during their planning walked with the others to where they were supposed to meet Greasy Jack. She grinned a bit as she saw him moving to leave.

"Running away so soon, Mister Jack?"

[404_knight]

Robo-Ky walked with light steps, hefting his sword over his shoulder. He dusts off the front of his Holy Orders(?) uniform.
"BZZZT I knew you lacked the RAM for this. Skitter back home to tech support, beta-model."

Robo-Ky puts the bomb on the ground.
"MISSION_COMPLETE? DO_WE_WIN?"
Robo-Ky looks at Greasy Jack's remains.
"I think we win."
Robo-Ky stares at him...
"... I'm going to eat his motherboard now."

Snorting, Ben looked to the side, trying hard not to laugh at Robo-Ky's last comment. "That's gross."

Walking back, Dr. Horrible looked at the rest, bewildered and red-faced from his sprint away from the action.

"...Why didn't you guys run?" he asked blankly, looking at the rest as though they were idiots.
