Working With Phantoms

Acting Fly

Madran held her hand out at Shadow Kaneshiro and his lackeys.

"Dharma, attack!"

Dharma launched a fireball at them, but it was reflected by Shadow Kaneshiro.

"Oh, I see how it is!"

Akira's group vanished from view as Shadow Kaneshiro backed up towards the vault door.

"You're just going to go at me until the bitter end, huh? Then, no more games! Don't beg for forgiveness, because you ain't gonna get it!"

The vault door opened and Shadow Kaneshiro was sucked inside with his lackeys. Then, the walls to the side of it parted, revealing a massive piggy bank-like automaton with the vault door as a nose, several guns that were pointed at the group as eyes, and a small announcement box came up from its head as Shadow Kaneshiro began to speak.

"Behold, my ultimate contraption, the Piggytron 5000!"

Amidst Shadow Kaneshiro's laughing, Rosana spoke up.

"Wow, you're so pathetic that you don't transform? How sad."

Rosana looked at her wristbands and held her arms in a fighting stance.

"Well, let's get this done! Fwoosh, on your mark!"

"Gotcha! Dharma, scan!"

Madran then scanned the Piggytron 5000.

"Ok, um, this odd pig thingy is weak to nothing and resists nothing! But, if we're smart, we can cause some shenanigans to occur. Let's, like, kill it!"

The eye guns on the machine then shot several rockets out, and the group scattered and tried avoiding them. Suga then hit them with a massive blast of wind, which caused them to be knocked all over the place. Then, Philemon directed Yudhishthira towards the announcement box, who fired a massive thunderbolt at it through his spear.

"Oh, hey, nice call, Butterfly!"

"Thank you. Rumor, you should try your own thing."

The eye guns then fired several bullets at Rosana, but she activated her armlets, which brought out a shield which bounced the bullets back at the guns, knocking a few out.

"Hey, those were expensive!"

"So is this outfit! Boudica, see if you can silence him!"

Boudica then hit the Piggytron 5000 with a Makajam, but it failed. Then, Chicory and Madran hit it with a Bombastic Slugger, which appeared to do damage. Then, Madran brought forth Decarabia, who assisted with an almighty spell.

"Alright, keep this up, and we should be golden!"

Madran then saw Shadow Kaneshiro climb out of the Piggytron 5000 and on top of it. After that, Madran could see him laughing as the machine retracted its legs, guns, and boxes and formed into a ball.

"What's he doing...?"

Shadow Kaneshiro then began to run in place on the Piggytron 5000, which caused it to begin to roll.

"Oh, crap, everyone, watch out!"

Shadow Kaneshiro then began to roll the machine around at everyone, which caused a rather intense sequence that involved everyone and their personas nearly being hit by the rapidly spinning ball of pain as Shadow Kaneshiro laughed maniacally.

"Hey, I think we can knock him off! Everyone, go for Shadow Kaneshiro!"

The group then directed several attacks at Shadow Kaneshiro to the point where he teetered and fell off of the machine, which ended up in it rolling over him and into the wall. The group then began to slowly approach him but stopped when the Piggytron 5000 suddenly exploded, sending the lackeys flying out next to him.
