Despite Tuga’s rather interesting outburst, the conversation between the group continued.
“That’s right! That’s right!” replied Charm, jumping with anticipation, “all of the nearby mines and ruins are now filled with reaverbots!”
“The fire here in the MML3 building caused it?” asked Mikey.
“There was a fire? That explains the puddles on the floor…” replied Ally, raising her foot an inch off the floor to address the small water puddles that remained throughout the tiled floor.
“We should go stop them before they start breaking the seals on the mines and ruins!” declared Anima.
“But what about that mustached guy who-“ started Mikey. He was cut off, as several cokebots came bursting through the entrance, and lined up next to Dashe, with their red lights blazing.
“Username recognized! Mikey! There has been an automated report filed against you: charged for the destruction of a fellow cokebot on a sidestreet, three blocks down from here!” stated the cokebot.
“Code Yellow. Username is a match, but the surveillance footage saved to the system before the cokebot was destroyed does not match this user’s face or clothing.” stated another.
Everybody was silent and rather wide-eyed at the sudden turn of events. Mikey was probably the most surprised, his heart pounding, and wondering what he had done this time.

Dashe was about to interrogate the snot out of Tuga (username: megatuga) when the CokeBot squadron that was supposed to be on patrol over by General Legends came bursting in and scanning Mikey.
"Code yellow?!" Dashe shouted at the bots. "These guys clearly said the perp had a badly-groomed mustache! Does Six-Eyes over here look like a personal grooming catastrophe to you?"
The CokeBots stood there in an awkward silence. "Okay, so his outfit could use a modest upgrade but he definitely looks like he's either been shaving regularly, or he just isn't in a position to grow a mustache yet." Dashe frowned. "Our perpetrator is still at large for improper facial hair care and arson, and I'm convinced Tuga knows something." She added that last part just loud enough for MegaTuga to hear across the room.
"As for you buckets of bolts, I want you back out on the streets looking for a physical matchup to the surveillance footage. None of this username garbage, got it?"
The CokeBots who'd run into Loken earlier bleeped in affirmation as they filed out of the building. "Why am I always the one doing all the work around here..." She muttered under her breath once they'd left.

"What was that about?" Anima scratched her head in confusion.
"Iunno really. Misunderstanding prolly?" Skye just shrugged. Sora thought she had heard something outside, and tugged on Mikey's pants leg.
"What is it Sora?" Mikey asked, Sora was pointing outside.
"Poco! Poco-poco, poco poco!" Sora's 'voice' sounded like it was excited, as well as scared and uneasy.
"Sora says 'The ruins somehow must've been linked to the terminals stationed above ground.'." REI translated.
"Now who in the right mind would hook up a terminal to the ruins?!" Ally shouted in frustration, almost loud enough for everyong to hear inside the building.
Sora just shrugged. "Poco."

Loken arrived outside of the general disscusion, looking for the alley and the culprits. He saw 3 Cokebots searching the area, but was sure he could sneak past them. Loken got inside a trash can and slowly waddled past the robots. "Ha, these Cokebots are really dumb, I guess it's the cherry in them." He crawled out of the trash can once he got to the alley, picking off banana peals and coffe filters. "This detective stuff sure makes you hungry" said Loken, as he pulled out his old Nilla waffers. As he was chewing the waffers he heard voices coming out of a window. "Glad to see you made it back safe, did you activate the reaverbots, and link the terminals in the main building?" said a mysterious voice. Another mysterious voice replyed "Yes, but I could not release the seals because I lost that note with the code on it when I snuck into the building, red lights started to flash so I ran out of there." "You idiot!" said the first mysterious voice "If I hadn't memorized it you would have ruined the whole operation! You hear what they say about us! Treat us like outcasts! We deserve to be here too! If we can't be part of this city then we'll tear it down!" "I know this better than anyone, just because they hate you more doesn't mean you're running this operation, I was around before you where! I told you we are going to take control of the city not destroy it!" said the second voice. "I vowed I would take my revenge on this place and intend on doing it!" Said the first voice" Loken tried to peak in the window but it the curtains stopped him from seeing either of the men. "Surrender Mustache Man!" ordered a Cokebot. Loken jumped with fear. He knew the Cokebot scared the men inside, he had to stop them before they got away. He rammed into the Cokebot, knocking it to the ground. He ran into the house but the men already left. "NOOO!" yelled Loken as the Cokebots tackled him to the ground. "We have to stop them before they escape!" yelled Loken. "Save all complaints and appeals for Station Master Dashe." a Cokebot claimly replyed as it wrapped it hand across Loken's mouth to shut him up.

Tuga couldn't help but sweat at that. He was just nervous, so it's not to blame him. He inteed saw someone running away from the scene and then hit by some Cokebots but it vanished out of nowwhere... or nowhere he can see probably, but there isn0't anything invisible in this city.. right=
"Must be nervosism" He thought, Then Miss Dashe called his name.
It seemed like he was about to dig a hole in the ground and crawl himself inside it. Too bad he never passed the Diger licenses.

Dazed after falling down 3 flights of stairs Ragun walks past Dashe and the others slowly heading for the door that leads outside unable to hear what anyones saying from the impact of the floor on his head, all he can hear is a annoying ringing throughout his eardrums, possibly from a concussion.
After he slightly recovers he sees a blurred image of a cokebot patrolling outside, and says confusingly "A reaverbot aboveground!?" still seeing the blurred image only able to hear the noises from it he begins to charge after it with his reverse blade katana and soon after he starts slashing and blunting it.
But seeing as it is a reverse blade it only puts medium dents on it. "Hah! is that all you have reaverbot!" Ragun mocks. "Woah it's like it's hurting me without hitting me..." he whispered to himself. a few minutes later he begins to get even more dizzy, then blacks out from his concussion..

((Loken and I have got future plans for those shadowy figures, by the way. And yes, we know who they are. If you want or need to know in advance for something, feel free to shoot either of us a PM.)) Dashe snatched the journal out of Tuga's hands and scanned the pages out of habit before moving onto the interrogation. None of the headlines were particularly eye-catching, so it didn't take very long. The first thing she did was check for an abominably-kept mustache. She turned to the last CokeBot still with her and ordered, "I require a image evaluation for comparison with the surveillance footage." The CokeBot scanned Tuga. "Code Green. No match detected. Do you wish to ban this member anyway?" Dashe waited to answer that just long enough to make Tuga sweat. During that time, another user walked past them. He looked drunk. The CokeBots on duty would be stuck with that one, Dashe decided to herself. "No, but clearly you know something or you wouldn't be hiding in the finances section of the Times." She snickered. "So did you see a guy with a mustache start the fire, or what?"
Back outside, the dented CokeBot had seized Ragun by the collar and dragged him off to the Refractor Mines for new users and delinquents. It made sure to leave him somewhere really deep down, so he'd have a hard time getting back up to the surface before he sobered up. Not to mention that the mines were a pretty dangerous place to start with, at least dangerous enough for Dashe to make everyone sign liability waivers when they registered a citizen's card at MMLS City.

(( Ehh, I’m gonna avoid spoiling the surprise by guessing [and it’s not an important enough a detail for my side of the story to bother with PM’s], but I may have an idea or two of who the figures are. BTW, has anybody noticed how my quotations are curved? That’s a secret too. <3 ))
______________________________
“It appears that the entire city is under patrol by those scary cokebots!” cried Charm, hiding behind Mikey’s leg.
“Yep, that’s Dashe for you… six-eyes. What a card!” chuckled Mikey, watching as Dashe terrorized Tuga.
“There has to be more going on here…” said Ally, deep in thought.
“More? What are you suggesting, Miss Ally?” asked Charm, shifting his attention.
“’More’ as in- have a look around the city, and determine if there wasn’t a real reason as to why the reaverbots got activated. I highly doubt a simple destruction of a single terminal could arouse such a thing.” replied Ally coolly.
“Right,” replied Skye, “there’s quite a few of us, so I think we should split up. So far, the MML3 building is News Central due to the fact that Dashe is here…” dropping her voice to a group murmur, “so two groups would work quite well, and I also believe that Sora and REI have been together long enough to establish radio contact.”
“That is correct, the ping connection now works, so therefore I can now contact Sora through radio.” replied REI.
“Great! Me and Mikey could stay here with REI, while the rest of you can scout.” suggested Anima.
“Wha- oh. Hah, guess I was having a little too much fun enjoying the show.” laughed Mikey, turning his attention back to the group when he heard his name.
“Don’t worry bud. We’re paired up again! We get to stay in the MML3 building!” exclaimed Anima.
“I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing in this case.” replied Mikey, uneasy as he recounted the cokebot situation.
“Everything will be fine, but I still think Skye should have some say in the scouting suggestion, this’ll be her first time in the field... and who knows, we might find Mr. Burnt Mustache.” added Ally.
Just then, the double doors to the MML3 building swung open, and several cokebots were teaming up to force a struggling man with a burnt coat and a terribly-groomed mustache through into the lobby... Who Mikey immediately recognized as the soaking-wet inspector he saw earlier on the upper floor which the fire occurred. It was taking quite an effort, and Mikey could have sworn he saw a flash in Dashe's eyes at this new development, as she was finishing up with Tuga.
“WELL! That solves one goal, and if we’re going to leave, I suggest we do it NOW in case this building goes into lockdown to prevent that smooth-talker from escaping.” stated Ally, holding the door open.

(( You can bring in more than one OC. I think the limit I set is 4-5. 5 being if any OCs are FanServbots or FanReaverbots ))
"Well best be going huh Ally?" Skye said, waiting by the door.
"Yup yup!" She said, once the CokeBots had cleared the way, she immediately dashed out, with Skye and Sora following behind.
"You guys be careful out there!" Anima called to them before the doors closed.
Just like what Ally said, the MML3 building indeed went into lockdown. Neither anyone could go in or out. The lights above the entrance doors turned red.
"And the fun starts it looks like. I hope Mr. Mustache Man can handle Dashe's interrogations." REI said melancholically.
"Handle it? I just hope he can SURVIVE it." Mikey said, in an almost nervous laugh.

Dashe's grin was almost too big for her face as the doors and windows to the Legends 3 building slammed shut. Her eyes twinkled like some kind of twisted, psychopathic Santa Claus as she watched the obvious perpetrator squirm. While it looked like the badly-kept mustache was a mess moreso because of the burns sustained in the accident than a result of laziness on the poor sap's part, she snickered and pulled a police baton with a shiny red button on the end out of her pocket. "Nice 'stache, Loken. Where'd you get it trimmed? Super Cuts? I hear they do walk-ins." As she spoke, she paced slowly back and forth, lackadaisically flipping the baton around in her hand. "You don't know how disappointed I was when fAB told me it was inhumane to ban people who get their hair cut for under ten dollars at places that do walk-ins. I now have to spend my days walking around a city littered with people who wouldn't know a top-notch salon if they built one across the street from the house they grew up in."
She sighed. "However, banning people for arson? That's perfectly legal. Major Infraction #2, clause 4. No flames." She pressed the button on her baton and the opposite end of the stick flipped open. A nasty-looking, oversized mallet cartoonishly plopped out of the end like it had just been inflated, but it was very clearly a solid-looking weapon otherwise. Along the sides of the mallet, which looked like it was made of some seriously heavy metal, was the word "WHEEBAN" stamped into the side in all caps. "So now. Tell me everything that happened in this building when the fire started, and tell me the truth, or you'll find yourself in a world of hurt!"

"Oh Miss Dashe it wasn't on purpose! I tryed jumping the rails and fell on a terminal, it's sparks started the fire! I was going to tell you but I realized that none of the mods were around, I thought something was up so I went looking for them, I thought you were up to no good. I'm really sorry about beating up your Cokebots and framing Mikey, but it was for the good of the city! Now please while I was investigating the mods I found clues to a threat!

"Wasn't on purpose my..." Dashe's grip on the banhammer slacked a bit as she deadpanned. "Yeah, none of the mods have been out on patrol for a while now. It's been all CokeBots for about two weeks now. My latest pep talk must've scared them off or something. They'll be back," she glanced around for a second before adding, "by the way, assaulting CokeBots and framing other members are both serious violations of Major Infraction #2, but I can pretend that the arson thing never happened if you shave that hideous mustache. The split ends are making me twitch, and you'd still be one infraction short of the banhammer if you count all the double-posts you've added up over your brief stay here..."
"Anyway, what's this threat you speak of? Is it another attempt at a coup d'etat? Is Capcom coming down for an inspection?" Dashe frowned. The CokeBots holding Loken down tightened their grip ever so slightly.

Mikey, Anima, and REI were trying their best to keep their cool, but even that giant banhammer was enough to make ANYBODY in the nearby vicinity sweatdrop.
A threat...? OH CRAP HE WAS JUMPING THE RAILS? Mikey's thoughts were racing. He then did a double-sweatdrop, remembering he was rail-jumping first...
“Yo dude, is something wrong?” asked Anima, noticing Mikey was sweating a little more than she was.
“Oh… Nothing yet.” He replied, wiping his face with his sleeve.
~Meanwhile... Just outside the MML3 building~
“I don’t know. There seems to be plenty of cokebots around out here, I think we should avoid wasting our time.” inquired Skye, watching as another small group of cokebots scuttled on by.
“Hmm… Then instead of scouting, perhaps we should try and find a way to deal with the reaverbots in the ruins and mines before they manage to break out. I’m not sure if Dashe knows about this yet either…” replied Ally, deep in thought.
“I can wait until the building unlocks then tell Miss Dashe!” exclaimed Charm, fibbing a little. He actually wanted to stay with Anima, REI, and Mikey.
“Okay, new plan then. Let’s head for the nearest mine and see what the situation is.” suggested Skye.
“Poco.” Chirped Sora, listening intently.
“Right. Charm, you may stay here until the MML3 building unlocks. We’re off!” declared Ally, skipping down the blue brick road.
“Wow, Ally really knows how to pop a reference,” observed Skye, running to catch up, with Sora right on her heels.

Once Sky and Ally had reached one of the mines, it looked like the entrance was in bad shape.
"Is this where the activity was coming from Ally?" Skye asked, adjusting the goggles on her head.
"This is the spot!" Ally replied, rummaging through her bag. She pulled out a handheld buster gun, and an arm gun. She handed the arm gun to Skye. "Here, you might need this."
Skye put the arm gun on her right arm. "Sora, can you contact REI and tell him we're starting the digout?"
"Poco!" Sora chirped, and put a hand to her ear. "Poco. Poco poco. poco-poco poco?"
All Sora got was static.
"Poco?" She tapped the side of her head abit. She continued to receive static through the comms. between her and REI.
[This is REI, I read you now Sora.] REI finally said over the comms.
"Poco! Poco, poco-poco-poco poco, poco." Sora said.
