Mega Man RPG World Community

The courtyard was left in disarray. The explosion from the Count Bomb sent the two Pawns careening back into the fountain, leaving four of their deactivated frames sitting in the fountain in a heap.

The only two remaining Pawns looked at each other as they ran—they knew it was too late for them to win the fight, but they knew they had to cut their losses and land some hit on the challengers. As they continued to run, they deftly avoided the Mage Fireballs—one jumped and landed in the brush, while the other hit the ground and let the attack sail over him, reaching his hand up toward it as it went. As the former emerged, it threw its hands out toward Mage-Man, and a blast of tree branches and foliage came out of its hands, which the other Pawn (Still on the floor) set ablaze with a snap of its fingers. "Better than we expected...this must not be your first time! But let's see how you handle this!"

Mage Man smiled, and reflected the burning tree back at the Pawns.

Hiding Observing from behind the cover of the hedge rows, Print Man called out to Mage Man: "Watch yourself, Mr. Mage! It seems these ruffians can replicate anything we use against them! Tenfold, even!"

Mage Man thinks a little bit. "Hm... maybe alone..." He said. "But together, maybe we can beat him."

"Ah, seems everything is starting to heat up. They can handle the two by themselves. I'm going to watch."

Insanity Man, standing near the fallen statue, proceeded to transform to ball form, and he compacts his shell like a springboard. He releases the potential energy, and gets launched to a higher floor of the castle. There's a robot there too, and he prepares himself for battle. Strangely, Insanity Man doesn't launch an attack, he walks past the robot and into the fridge nearby. Although robots don't need food, Insanity Man has always been a pig with it, eating simply for the taste. He cooks up some popcorn, and stands on the ledge of the balcony. Before jumping, he looks at the robot and says

"Bet you're wondering why I ain't hitting you right now. Truth be told, skipping the fights would take all the fun out of it, and I don't want to miss any fun. Surprised my shell bounce worked too, usually it doesn't. Well, time to go enjoy the flick!"

Insanity Man jumps off, quickly goes into ball form, bounces once, twice, and three times, lands on a platform slightly high-up than the garden, most likely to view the beautifully-crafted garden, and sits on the ledge, and enjoys his popcorn while his team members continue to battle.

"Scream if you need anything!"

Mage Man looks at Insanity Man. "...Yeah... you do realize that this is to-" but before he could finish, one of the Pawns hit him. "Nice shot, Pawn. Really. Besides the fact I was off guard. Alright, guys, let's do this!"

The figure Insanity-Man had run into stayed quiet and tried to keep to the shadows. From the light he had let into the room, though, he could see light reflecting off of his pure black visor—a visor that no light could penetrate...not that he probably particularly cared. As he left once again, he breathed a sigh of relief. "That was too close."

Down below, the Pawn that had launched the tree gingerly danced around the burning foliage, aiming to get close enough for a good blow. Meanwhile, the Pawn with the flaming fists jumped to his feet and continued his close-quarters fistfight with Mage-Man, swinging wildly as flames trailed off of his attacks. He laughed a bit when he felt one of his fists collide with the side of his head, and nodded ever so slightly to his comrade, who shot a number of leaves into the air as a response. Swinging upward, Pawn set the leaves ablaze, and continued his inferno of attacks towards Mage-Man. Things had taken a turn for the better.

Mage Man reversed every leaf to go towards the Pawn, and Pawn goes for a punch, in which he reverses it to hit the other Pawn.

Print Man snaps his fingers. "Ah, I've got it! A combination attack!" Targeting the leaf-summoning Pawn, he let off a barrage from his Pencil Buster. "Mr. Mage, if you would be so kind as to ignite those?"

Mage Man looks at Print Man. "Ok!" And he did.

(Alright, alright, sorry to put the brakes on this again real quick, guys...but this is more or less what I was afraid of when I allowed Mage-Man in. Mage Reflection is simply too good as it stands. It's a mirror shield with no danger...which would be fine, Enker is built around a very similar concept, but unlike Enker, Mage Reflection always immediately sends the projectile right back at the person who fired it, and is also accompanied by a very reliable sidearm in the form of Mage Fireball.

So I'm going to tweak it's mechanics, on the grounds that I'm the Game Master and therefore I can do that. Here's what we're looking at now:
Mage Reflection is activated with a mere snap of Mage-Man's fingers, summoning a mirror-shaped shield directly in front of him. This shield reflects all attacks (Even melee attacks—their fist will come back out of the mirror and punch them!), but it only remains active for a split second, meaning it needs to be summoned mere moments away from Mage-Man being hit with a projectile—and it won't be able to block too many.
If this doesn't coincide with the way in which you intended to use Mage Reflection, I'd be happy to hear a counter-proposal.)

(Oh, yeah, and from a quick search on Google, tungsten (Which is what the Pencil Buster fires, even though most pencils are made of graphite...) burns at ~2,900 degrees Celsius. I don't think Mage Fireball gets quite that hot.)

The flaming leaves glanced off of the Mage Reflection, returning them all to sender, and the Pawn couldn't do much about it. The leaves latched onto him, and he was left in a burning heap.
Only the firefighter was left standing. He stood still for only a moment, then spun around on one foot and charged Print-Man, with an intensity in his eyes that was conspicuously absent before. As he approached, he suddenly dropped to a crouch, then swung up at Print's jaw in a powerful flaming uppercut.

[OOC: Just waring you guys, I will be absent on Tuesdays and most of Wednesdays, so don't wait up for me.]

Gamble Man looked at the two Pawns lying on the ground after the explosion. Feeling rather satisfied with the results from these battles, Gmable Man looked at the others. "Um, do you need any help, Mage Man? You, Print Man?" inquired Gamble Man. His words fell upon deaf audio sensors as Print Man and Mage Man were engaged in combat with the Pawns. "I guess they are handling themselves. They'll let me know if they need anything." thought Gamble Man. As he created 3 count bombs to use as platforms and jumped up to the where Insanity Man was sitting he asked "Care to spare any of that popcorn?"
