... not a soul to be found

Okay, so I've been otherwise occupied for the past several weeks. Sometimes life interferes and you just get involved in other things... Seriously, can't I have a private moment???
 
I keep thinking about the possibilities of hanging out with Annie again, I don't want to admit it but Algorithm has really got me thinking along these lines
 
-------------
 
At any rate, I received a call to battle from Max and Sandcrab (my hero) so I had to come out for it! The story as far as I know is likely being blown out of proportion, seriously, a bunch of mysteries in Chinatown lead to several of my team mates encountering an ultra powerful Asian called "The Ancestor" (oohhh scary). Some old guy in a kimono? Oh sure, the news reported several deaths and devastation across Grand Rapids Michigan , but I don't generally believe what the propaganda machine puts out these days anyway...
 
So I meet them at the corner of Walk & Don't Walk in central Chinatown. First thing I notice is the team that has shown up, Maximum Resistance, Sandcrab, Ghost and L'il Rocket are already on scene. I deploy my Robot army to investigate the area. The Fleetwoods head over a couple block area and start sending me information about what they see, generally there are a bunch of glowing balls throughout the scene. Seven glowing spheres, of varied sizes, seems like nothing to me. But the team is freaking out, they say something about one of these spheres caused all the devastation, with seven of them here we could be in real trouble!!! even more curious is that there are no people in Chinatown at all, not a soul to be found.
 
The team starts attacking the spheres with abandon - Ghost even knocked herself out attacking one. They ask if I'm going to attack and I shrug. Thinking to myself, I'm going to wait for the real threat to show up. I notice through the Fleetwoods that there is an energy field appearing near the spheres, I comment to Max about them and he says its the minions of Destroyer coming! This I think is the real enemy!
 
When the Destroid appears I attempt to do a reprogramming on it, but the bug I planted takes time to form and the code inside these things is daunting! Sandcrab forms a tunnel under the robot and it falls into the hole, he then seals it in. I hope my debugging system will keep it away for good.
 
I have Stevie attack one of the Destroids as it materializes, using one of her little known powers "Wall Breaker". It does some serious damage to the robot. I'm impressed, but the rest of the team get on me for not taking out the sphere. So I aim my laser pistol and cut away a fair chunk of it "These things aren't that tough I comment" I get cold stares from the other members... Sheesh, no one has a sense of humour these days.
 
We continue bashing on the Spheres and the Destroids, L'il Rocket is taking out the Destroid with his super speed, actually dismantling the thing at amazing speed! He manages to disarm it (Literally) and then it goes up and grabs the sphere and self destructs! Two for the price of one! By this time we've contained 2 Destroids and 4 spheres. Then suddenly the big guy himself shows up, Doc D in the flesh - maybe these spheres are a more serious threat than I guessed... I figure its time to split so communicate to the Army to disengage and take off!!
 
I grab Green and teleport away, before she flies off Christine and Stevie both see Doc D destroy spheres with one shot each. We can't fight him yet, we need lots more going for us before then!
 
Those who run away today, live to run away another day!
