Dark Matter recovers from his daze in time to see imminent watery demise coming towards him. Reacting... we'll call it quickly to spare his feelings... he manages to send out a reflexive burst of magic from his horn, dispersing the water streams into a fine mist, which proves to be surprisingly refreshing after all the excitement so far. He doesn't have time to enjoy it, though, because the mouseseseseseses keep up their assault. He dashes to the side, slipping a bit on the newly slicked floor, and picks up his frying pike with his magic.

Not terribly optimistic about his chances alone against the droids, he looks around for possible allies. There was the unconscious stallion and the one with the wand. They look like they could use some help. Then again, it looks like Supermare could use some impressing help of her own.

He poses heroically and says in a heroic voice: "Stop, in the na-" but is stopped by a jet of water. Thoroughly irritated now, he spits and gives up the dramatics in favor of a sustained shout as he runs and attempts to use his polearm to polevault up closer to the platform whereon the Superdamsel in Distress was locked in combat with the metal bird thing. He didn't achieve much lift, and was thrown drastically to the side, but in the end it worked out because he landed on the pad of what seemed to be some sort of giant pancake-flipper which catapulted him directly up where he wanted to go.

He would have rather landed on his hooves than his back, and he's most certain he'll be unhappy about dropping his pan, but I guess he can't have everything he wants.

Supermare looked back, when Bubo landed back to the platform, the metal bird still looking for a fight. A quick look around revealed that there was no antennas to be seen, forcing Supermare to think of something else. A sharp "Shwing" sound, however brought her attention back to the bird, who was now building an arsenal so great, that it could probably take on the royal guard alone, with reasonable chance of winning. Each new weapon revealed drew another "Gulp" from Supermare.

Supermare couldn't think of anything, except maybe try to escape from the weaponry aimed at her, but just before things might have gotten ugly, Bubo fell forward, seemingly locking up and unable to act. Supermare kept staring at the bird, before looking back at Evilwire, slightly confused, but apparently she could now confront the evil Science pony. Before she even had a chance to deliver her speech of justice, a canister was shot towards her. Supermare managed to pull her cape up, covering her head from the goo, but still very effectively got stuck to it.She saw Hay smash the control panel, and run away, her attempts to run after him were fruitless, as her hooves were very, very stuck. Hearing Bubo coming back around, Supermare turned her attention to her toolbelt, looking for a thingie that she thought could help her.

After a short search, Supermare picked a small spray can from her toolbelt, and sprayed it at the goo, causing the sprayed spots to turn into greenish, watery mess, effectively releasing her hooves from it. Unable to think of any actual plan against the metal bird, Supermare carefully picked it up, and placed Bubo in the remaining blue goo, hopefully slowing it's chase down. Supermare heard Catmare talking to somepony, and after getting view at the two, Supermare saw the other pony being the guard from earlier. Concluding that a royal guard could handle Catmare, Supermare loaded her trusty hookshot, and fling herself to a higher, much smaller platform on the side of the cannon, disappearing behind the cannon, as she tried to look for a way to reach Evilwire's hiding spot. She came across many screens bearing information only a science pony could understand, but no visible controls, or doors of any kind could be found.

Woodwind grins at the sight of his shots hitting home and disabling one of the droid's arms. Now he should be able to finish this quickly and get to helping the others... He darts toward it's now vulnerable side, wands rising up to finish the machine off when it's torso suddenly spins around, the remaining cymbal turned sideways and slicing towards him. The brown pegasus drops his wands and gives a mighty beat of his wings, propelling himself backward away from the droid and only just avoiding it's attack, the spinning metal disk slicing through the air where he'd just been and taking a few strands out of his mane. Woodwind backs off a bit, taking note of the small paper stuck to the mouse's back. He was curious what that could be, but there wasn't a lot he could do about finding out at the moment. First he has to get his weapons back. After a few moments of watching the mouse droid he makes his move, dashing close and narrowly ducking under the spinning cymbal. He scoops up the fallen wands and darts back out of range again, then spins and brings the wands to bear on the mouse droid, loosing several shots at the machine's legs in an attempt to disable it.
