O'Malley was situated in his quarters, observing pieces of data from the Gigoramis fight. Thuds from the largest room downstairs jarred the droid from his state of blank observance, and he slowly slapped his palm onto his face.
"Ugh... the party is tonight... I forgot..."
Shaking his head, he continued scanning the data muttering,
"The video's not quite finished either..."
* * * * * * *
Night was just now falling over the base as the final preperations were finished in the 'party' room, of which was the large room where the fight with Mecha-Nazo, J-Der and Master Gundam took place. Dozens of chairs, varying in size, were strewn about the room, each surrounded by several chairs. Several lines of buffet tables already filled with all sorts of food were lined up near one edge of the room, and several other tables with various beverages were located nearby. An authentic-looking bar was placed on the other side of the room, a 'human' bartender standing behind the counter and before several racks of alcohol. A large, 35-foot diameter stage wa splaced in the center of the room, with four large television screens placed above it in all directions.
Every droid currently attending the party was wearing a human guise, each simply chatting with one another about various things, such as the party itself, or current events. Nocturn, in his mechanical form, was wearing a magnetic bowtie as he waited at the south entrance of Machinima, ready to greet any party-go'ers.
((Note: All good and neutral charries are invited; This party is not to be crashed... then again, looking at the location, you can't really expect it to be anyway...
Nocturn: And I expect some goddamn shenannigans! >.<))

Shiryu and Mercurio were flying in the night air of the desert towards Fort Machinima. As they passed over a dune they saw the fort in the distance.
"Oh Shiryu doesn't it look magnificent. All the lights give such a sense of radiance."
Shiryu replied, "Indeed it does. Shall we head down and get inside b4 it gets too much darker."
So the pair landed on the south side as instructed where the entrance would be. They couldn't help by gawk at the amazing display of Machinima as they entered the massive desert fort.
Shiryu: "Wow this place is even more amazing on the inside. You'd have to be a fool or extremely powerful to break into this place but even then you wouldn't get far."
Mercurio: "True but the decor is lovely here. It goes perfect with the buildings design."
The two moved into the main party hall and waited for other guests to arrive. They found a nice sized chair and sat together in a loving embrace.

As if by magic, Solranous suddenly appeared in one of the larger chairs, completely fore going the southern entrance and 'making' his own. With him were Kisara and the two Myrrs, the former of which he had picked up from Seela's ship in the forest.
At present, Solranous was staring down the light half of the duo half dragon and hybrid.
"Why was I not informed that this was going on until minutes before it started?" Solranous growled.
Myrr just chuckled nervously in response.

As he noticed Sol's arrival Shiryue let Mercurio up and went to say hello to Sol who he had only met a few weeks before.
"Sol my friend, that was quite the spectacle at the end of that second battle you had. Its nice to talk with you under more peaceful conditions not to mention the night is quite radiant as well. Say is this your family, I do believe we haven't met before."
Mercurio comes up next to Shiryu adding, "Hello Sol are you feeling ok after that quick turnaround from the previous fights? This place looks wonderful all decorated as it is. I really wouldn't think this was a battle station with how its decorated would you?"
The hall they stood in looked more like a living room than any part of a major fort. The room glowed with a brilliance that made it feel like a home that is used for family time. The pair just looked on in curiosity at the room.

Solranous grunted in response to the noting of the spectacle, then continued with, "I could have taken out that guy without the other Kaiju showing up, but things turned out as they should."
Solranous then looked to Kisara and the two Myrrs, and smiled, "Yeah... this is my family... The first one I've had in quite a few years. This is Kisara, and those two are known as Myrr and Xeno, the light one is Myrr, the dark one is Xeno."
Kisara nodded to the two Reapers, "Pleased to meet you, I've heard pretty much everything Solranous knew about you two."
"Hi!" the sisters chimed together, Xeno poking her head out from behind Myrr.
Solranous cracked some of the stiffness out of his neck, before continuing, "I'll be alright... just a little tired..."
Kisara whacked him on the head, "A little? You practically passed out when you came to pick me up!"
Myrr sighed, "You are an idiot you know that? You abuse your energy reserves a lot, even more so since you came back. You are gonna over exert yourself one day, and then what'll you do?"
Solranous rolled his eyes, but did appear rather run down, "You worry too much, I'm too strong to die like that. If I ever truly die, it'll be in the field of battle with an opponent of even strength, and even then, I'll still take him down with me. But... We don't have to worry about that for a while."
Xeno jumped and landed on the dragon's head, to which Solranous just glanced up to the hybrid.

Zeke was wondering two things as he drove up to the festively decorated fortress of death. One how he could have missed the massive hunk of metal sticking out of the ground, and two why someone thought it would be funny to burn an invitation to a party in his rose garden.
As Zeke walked into the main party hall he noticed Shiryu and Mercurio speaking with a group of people, including the Dragonman that Zeke had last seen with a rather large sword sticking through him. So he went over to say hello and discreetly check for any gaping holes in the stomach area.
Meanwhile Quicksilver had drifted over to the refreshment area of the festivities and had commenced to steal food right off of people'
s plates.

Next to show up was Lora, of whom seemed in a cheery mood as she waltzed into the area, giving the stage a glance. She took up a seat near Shiryu and Sol's tables, giving them a polite nod as she folded her hands and stared at the stage, her smile fading slightly as she did so. Something seemed different about her eyes... their usual sapphire blue shade was now an off-teal color.
Soon, Shive and Mortis showed up, the former looking ecstatic, while the former seemed... rather apathetic. The two took up a seat several tables away from the buffet, and Mortis was soon left to himself as Shive almost assaulted the tables of food, his plate soon hidden from sight due to its mass amount of content. Mortis sighed, tail wrapping around a chair leg as he stared ahead blankly, scratching at his jawline every so often.
Several minutes after the dragons, Garrett, Varion, and Ryouki entered the room, the teen staring around in wonder at the massive room before taking up a seat on the opposite side of the stage from the others. Ryouki simply 'thudded' onto his hind, glancing about the room as Garrett snagged a styrafoam cup of punch, looking about in interest.
The fourth group was one of those not known by most of the current members... two of the three were ZX-Tole and Ingram, the two men who mysteriously appeared at Prism Valley not a while back, while the third was a tall, lithe, middle-aged man with shoulder-length, graying black hair, currently tied into a ponytail. His clothes consisted of a sort of white business jacket, black slacks, a black under-shirt, and a pair pf small spectacles balaned on the bridge of his nose. These three took up seats near the north edge of the room, the spectacled man asking his companions,
"He defineatly knows how to throw a party, doesn't he?"
ZX-Tole merely grunted as he sat, arms folded with a disgruntled, bored look on his face, while Ingram simply smirked and nodded.

It seemed there was one final addition to the party as a black 'streak' flew through the air, abruptly stopping when it got to the party room.
"Aw geez, I'm not too late, am I?" Cynder asked herself when she landed, shaking out whatever panic she had. taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, she shook her head, "Nonsense, they wouldn't let me in if I was late... would they?"
Cynder glanced around, trying to identify everyone who showed up before her.

Shiryu stayed to talk with Sol for a bit while Mercurio went over to get a plate of food for them to try the cuisine set out by O'Malley's crew. After collecting a nice sampler platter she went back to them with the plate in hand.
Shiryu then noticed the black dragon that had just entered the room. He motioned to Sol.
"Who is that? She reminds me of my dragon spirit just not as far evolved. The party has definitely picked up though."
"Oh Shiryu you have to try this food it tastes amazing."
After having a small bite he looked at the food in an oddly confused way seemingly unable to believe it was so good.
"Wow who knew O'Malley had suck talented cooks.", he said taking another bite off the plate Mercurio had gathered.

Solranous turned his head while making use of his telekinesis to make another sampler platter for himself and his family, spotting Cynder.
"Ah, her. I can see why she reminds you of your dragon spirit. Both are black dragons with great destructive power..." Solranous replied to Shiryu, before calling out to the onyx wyrmling, "Oi! Cynder, over here!"
"Huh?" Cynder asked, turning to face the dragon and reapers, before walking over to them and jumping up onto a nearby chair.
"Long time no see, Solranous." Cynder began.
"Aye, it has been a while... how are things going for you?" Solranous replied.
"Eh... could be better, could be worse," the black dragoness answered.
"Ah, before I forget, this is Shiryu, and his companion there is Mercurio. Shiryu, Mercurio, meet Cynder." Solranous finished, introducing the two 'groups.'
By now he held out his hand and grabbed the plate that he pulled towards himself with his telekinesis.
"What can I say, the chefs here are robots, its no wonder they are good cooks." Solranous commented, taking a bit off of part of the meal he got before passing some around to the two Myrrs, Kisara, and a little extra for Cynder.

Shive was cackling as he... well, 'decimated' was the only good term for what he did to his food. Mortis rolled his eyes in annoyance and partial digust, although he found the cuisine rather appetizing in smell and appearance as well. His stomach rumbled, reminding him he hadn't eaten for quite some time. He shook his head, tail tightening around his chair leg as he repressed the pangs of hunger that struck him so.
Meanwhile, Ryouki was discussing what had happened with Garrett and Varion what usually happened at these kind of parties, and Garrett flushed red at the parts concerning relationship-building. Varion simply laughed at the parts concerning the karioke.
Lora was drumming her fingers on the table as she stared at the stage, occasionally giving a sniff. She finally sighed, shoulders sagging, and was about to get to her feet when Nocturn knelt down beside her, muttering,
"The boss is currently undergoing an upgrade, but he should be down shortly... you okay?"
She nodded with a small smile, and the black Veritech nodded curtly in return before returning to greeter/bouncer duty. Meanwhile, ZX-Tole and the gray-black haired man were piling themselves some food, before ZX-Tole did a double-take and asked,
"...is that food replacing itself?"
The blue haired man, Ingram, however, merely sat at his table, chin resting on his fist as he observed the other party-goers.

Shiryu says looking on at Shive in ackward way noticing how 'skilled' he was at eating.
"Hehe looks like he's a professional glutton. Man he can really pack it in."
"Oh Shiryu I think I'm gonna go sit down somewhere. I'll catch up with you in a bit alright."
"Alright just becareful not to mess with O'Malley's stuff ok."
With that she thanked him qith a peck on the cheek and took a seat at the table where the blue haired man was at.
"Hello you have an interesting hair color.", the purple haired girl said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the small group around Sol Shiryu says, "It's nice to meet you Cynder I have a good feeling we'll get along quite well seeing as the two of us are Black Dragon's after all. I do sense a slight similarity in the energy you give off to that of my own spirit. Might I ask if you had an extremely powerful ancestor over a thousand years ago?"

Cynder blinked for a second. "Uh... no... if I did, I never knew him or her... We don't even come from the same dimension, its only a really big coincidence that we're both black dragons, even if you are one only in spirit."
The black wyrmling took a piece of food offered to her by Solranous with a light 'Thanks.'
Myrr sighed, nibbling away on what she was handed, same for Xeno.
Cynder sighed after she finished what she was given, and banged the back of her head a few times.
"Shut up in there..." Cynder growled lowly, hopefully below the others hearing range, the Hollow had been complaining about attending the party for quite some time now...

Shiryu just barely caught the last line Cynder Spoke but dismissed it choosing not to dig deeper.
"Well I may have a black dragon spirit but I can change into a full dragon. It's just that ability escapes my control at the moment because of the rage that surrounds it."
Shiryu then pulled up a small tray of drinks from a table nearby without leaving the conversation. He held the tray in place so the group could all get their drinks before returning the tray to the table.
"So tell me what's O'Malley like. He seems to be a nice guy for doing all this for us. This place is certainly a masterful structure with all the defenses it has."
Shiryu looked around taking notice of the way everyone was staggered about the room.

Solranous thought for a second, before replying, "Nobody really knows, one day he's helping you, the next he could be killing you almost sadistically... He answers to no one but himself as far as I can tell, and does pretty much whatever he wants. There is one time where..." Solranous cringed for a bit, "I'll tell you after the party's over and we're a good distance from Machinima. I don't know for sure... but it might still be a rather... touchy subject."
Cynder sighed to herself, resigned to the fact that the Hollow likely wasn't going to shut up.
"Trouble, little one?" Solranous directed to Cynder through telepathy while keeping everyone else who was sensitive to it from hearing it.
"A lot... the Hollow won't shut up." Cynder thought back
Solranous furrowed his brow for a second, "I'll make her shut up then..." he finished, before invoking his telepathic power. Cynder sighed in relief when her Hollow half was silenced.
"Thanks, Sol." Cynder told the dragon, physically. The wyrm grinned in response, "Any time."
Kisara sighed as she sipped on her drink, smiling at Solranous. 'I remember the last time we had a party...' she thought, grinning at the emerald wyrm almost suggestively. Solranous mentally laughed aloud, having heard that through their link.
