>At first, I change up my tactics.
>Protectrons are sent to draw out snipers, followed by a hail of ballistics and energy fire directed at wherever they're hiding.
>I add a few new formations, randomizing the order in which they're used.
>Sometimes I have my Synths break to the left and right, leaving the Assaultron alone with nothing to block the laser.
>Other times my entire squad falls prone. Everyone. The Protectrons act like a barricade the rest of my troops can shoot over.
>Rather than attacking the Checkpoints head on, I try to surround them with my best units before opening fire. The less shots the enemy gets off, the better.
>I keep welding energy weapons together into double barreled versions of themselves, ensuring I never have too many weapons for everyone to use. I start equipping myself with the best ones I can find, to make myself less of a target.
>I give any grenades to the melee Gen 2 Synths. Using entire robots as explosives is wasteful. Plasma grenades work just as well.


>While I'm walking, I ask the Assaultron and Synths some questions. They're usually pretty conversational.
"How long were you guys in here before I found you?"
"Do the Institute or the U.S. Military have a secure facility in this bunker somewhere?"
"Assuming this Gate was a Vault, what would the experiment be?"
"Please let me know if you see anything edible. Unfortunately I'm a human and the last thing I had was a cup of coffee hours ago."

>I leave no stone unturned at the checkpoints. I open every door, extensively search every body, and destroy anything that could be used for repair material.
>If any of the sniper units survive my barrages, I take their weapons. Having a sniper team would be really helpful for enemies that I can't charge head on.

>>7828586
>Everyone was still asleep.
>Though you have no idea where the mimic may be.
>Even so, the gentle silence accompanied by the sound of rain on the roof was almost serene.
>You walked into the living room and Ariun was there, sitting in the armchair, reading a book.
>"Good morning. Good to see you've sort of... acclimated to everyone here."
>He paused to take a sip of coffee.
>"And thanks for, well, coming with me to find Riley. Even though it turned out he was here."

>>7829734
"no problem mate, really, not like I had anything better to do last night"
>he chuckles
"sorry for passing out like that, guess all the scratch and stab wounds got to me, but, I went to change out my bandages today, most of them are healed, no scar tissue or anything, so if you were feeling up to it, I'd like to go on a group run"

>>7829880
>"Well, I think it'd be a good idea... but I don't want Riley getting hurt. Do you think I can trust Riley, Fang, and the mimic thing being here alone?"
>A distorted voice sounded out from down the hall.
>"'The mimic thing' can hear you, you know. And hey, either me or Fang can stay behind to watch the kid. I think Fang'll be more up to it. She seems nice enough."
>If you were going on a group run, who were you going to take?

>>7830002
"I was just going to take whoever wanted to come with, honestly"
>he shrugs and starts readying his gear
"you figure out that coin?"

>>7830300
>Ariun pulls the medallion out.
>"No. I think it`s likely some sort of magic item, but I`ve got no clue."
>He slides it back in his pocket.
>"Anyways, I think the mimic`s right.Riley should stay here with Fang, and the mimic can come with us."

>The mimic appears next to you, seemingly out of nowhere.
>"Sounds good to me. I think I should have a name though. Ooh, how about something cool..."
>The mimic continued to mumble about names.

>>7830601
"...I'm not good with names, so I'm just gonna call you Mim"
>he shoulders his backpack, putting the wrench between the straps
"So, my Gate, or the one Riley explored?"

>>7831052
>Ariun looks up.
>"Sounds like either fantasy or sci-fi. I`ve got no preference."

>The mimic stops mumbling.
>"Huh, that works. 'Mim'. I like it."
>It nods.
>"Anyways, it`s pretty much up to you what place we go."

>>7831168
"Mine then, kinda selfish but I'd like to find an upgrade for my wrench, and by upgrade I mean new class of weapon entirely so I don't have to carry my pistol around. I'll get the truck started, meet me out there when you're ready"

Do we have a list of known dungeons and their themes?

>>7832720
"not a problem"
>he drives out to his usual Gate and gets out, pulling his wrench out from it's usual spot
>he pulls the flashlight out as well, leaving the gun in it's holster
"try to save your ammo for the bosses, melee weapons usually do the trick for the normal stuff"

>>7832768
>he also checks his phone while waiting for the others to prepare themselves

>>7832767
Not yet, but if you check the news and facebook and shit you could gather up a list, I'll tell you what I know though:

Ashland, Wisconsin has two Gates; Gate One appears to be pulling from Enter the Gungeon and Ratchet and Clank
Brooklyn, the part of NYC, also has the Ratchet and Clank theme.
Somewhere in Peru there's a gate with a DOTA theme.

>>7832818
>Ariun pulls out a large knife.
>"I didn't want to take the sword from Riley, so this is what I've got."

>Mim, on the other hand, morphs his arm into a large spiked blade.
>"I think this'll do."

>The two were ready, and waited for your word.

>>7832872
"Alrighty then, stick close, tap a chest before you try and open it, and kill the bullets first"
>he leads the crew down the stairs, turning off the flashlight once the torches light up, revealing an empty room with three doors
>he picks the one on the left, opening it to reveal four zombies, a Bulletkin, and two slimes
>he mutters something about not ever seeing this many monsters in one room before, and steps in swinging at the nearest monster
"cover each other!"

>>7832923
>Ariun rushes the closest zombie, driving the knife into its chest and pushing it to the side, cutting through its lungs.
>"I think I know what the medallion does!"
>He spins around and hurls the knife at the throat of the next zombie, embedding it into its windpipe.

>Mim disappears, and the next thing you see is a zombie missing a head.
>"Get fucked."
>The mimic disappears once again.

>The both were formidable fighters, it seemed.

>>7833011
>Aidan reminds himself not to fuck with mimics and throws his wrench at the Bulletkin, blocking it's shot and removing it's bullet from it's casing
>when the weapon comes back, he smashes the last zombie in the chest, driving it into a wall and nearly crushing it in two.
>that left the slimes

>>7833110
>Ariun takes the medallion out and flips it, turning it into a shade of red.
>"Here we go!"
>He grips the knife that was buried within the throat of the zombie and tears it out.
>"Hey Aidan, watch this!"
>He sprints in the direction of the slime.

>Mim reappears next to you.
>"He's going to get hurt, you know. Slimes aren't easily killed by melee implements."

>>7833162
"cutting weapons aren't the best for slimes, agreed"
>he leaps and brings the wrench smashing down onto the other slime, splattering it
"but bashing weapons work great"
>watches the other man, ready to step in if needed

>>7833202
>Ariun tries to slice the knife through the amorphous body fo the slime, but realizes that it isn't effective.
>"Yeah, uh... a little help here?"
>You saw a few chemical burn marks across his arm, but it wasn't anything serious.

>>7833240
"yeah, I got it"
>smash that motherfucking oozeball piece of shit
"right then, even loot split, I guess?"
>he digs through the leftover ooze with his wrench, pulling out a few gold coins from the muck, and then searches the bulletkin and zombie he killed for more gold
>when he's done, he stands up and looks around for doors, finding two, and a pot in the corner to boot

>>7833284
>Ariun wipes the blade of his knife off on his jeans.
>"So, where to now?"

>Meanwhile, Mim changes his other arm into a thin appendage tipped with razor thin, and likely razor sharp, talons.
>"I've got something I'd like to try. So yeah, where to?"

>>7833318
>he tips the pot over gently, stepping away in case it's holding acid or something
>when he gets nothing negative out of the action, he flips it completely, spilling it's contents onto the ground: a few more coins, which he splits evenly between the three
"uh..."
>he picks the first door, another left, opening it carefully...
>and revealing fucking nothing, an almost completely empty room, save for a chest

>>7833362
>Mim steps in front of you.
>"So, you probably don't want to touch this thing. Let me handle it."
>You see Mim's grin widen, then he tears through the chest with his clawed hand.
>Blood sprayed as screams sounded.
>The chest had been another mimic.
>There was something inside of it though.

>Ariun picked up a small glove from the remains of the mimic.
>"Ew."
>He shook off the saliva that clung to it.
>"Well, it's a glove."

(best image I could get, sorry)

>he grins
"It's a bomb glove, it throws bombs, I could merge that with my wrench, I think, but you killed the other mimic, so I guess the loot is yours to keep"
>He shrugs
"Up to you, either way, let's keep moving, this is a dead end"
>he turns and goes to check the other door

>>7833548
>Ariun tosses the glove to you.

>>7833625

>he puts the glove on his left hand, gripping the wrench with it
>blue sparks begin to pop out of the contact points, and then the entire thing flashes bright blue-white

>he grins, flexing the glove, and then tossing his revolver to Ariun
"fair trade"

>it returns to wrench form
>he flips back and forth between the two modes for a few seconds, settling back on the glove and opening the next room
"sorry, just, getting used to this"
>he pushes the door further open, revealing several bulletkin, five looking like ordinary pistol bullets, and the sixth looking like a shotgun shell... carrying a shotgun
"SHIT"
>he quickly flips a table, ducking behind it
"GET DOWN"

>>7833730
>Ariun kicks over a table and hides behind it.
>"Fucking what`s with these motherfuckers?"
>He flipped the coin again, color changed to green.
>"Time to find out what the green fucker does!"
>The chemical burns on his arm begin to heal at an extremely slow, but noticable pace.
>"It fucking heals me!"

>Mim was invisible yet again, but you could see a slight shimmer where his blade and claws were.
>They appeared to shoot straight up in the air and cling to the ceiling.
>Then they disappeared and a gash opened up along the sides of two of the bulletkin.

>"Yep, I see that too, don`t worry."
>He hides behind cover next to you and slowly pulls the fragmentation out of his shoulder.

>Aruin hid behind his table, occasionally taking shots at the few bulletkin that remained.

>>7835018
"Sorry mate, tried to warn ya. Hey Ariun, toss that coin over to Mim here, he could use the heals"

>he switches to his Omniwrench and throws it at the shotgun-kin, killing it

>he peeks out from behind the heavily damaged table, noting a wooden chest and two more doors on the far wall

>>7835128
>"Yeah, here Mim."
>Ariun tosses the coin to Mim.

>Mim catches the coin with his clawed hand.
>"You're right, this shit actually works."

>They both stand beside you and wait to see what was in the chest.

Guys, I'm getting really worried. All of this tech in the hands of unstable governments? That isn't going to be good. What are they finding in North Korea?

We need to think about getting the technology to escape the planet.

>"Like... maybe pretty soon."

>>7835507
"well, if we're looking to get this done faster, we should clear out the boss first and then decide if we want to explore the first floor some more, leave, or go further down, because the boss usually has something useful"

I think my Gate might have a way out, it's a sci-fi primary, and I know the setting has FTL travel, but I'd need to go past the second floor at least to get it, looks like they kept the really powerful shit down deeper in these things.

Jesus mother of fuck on a pogo stick I just checked the news and OH GOD SO MUCH IS HAPPENING.
North Korea has the secret to magic
Trump is starting to restrict access to Gates and asking for us to turn in our loot
Someone seems to have proof that we're barely scratching the surface of these dungeons...

North Korea has one of the most powerful settings in Fiction. Russia has Pokémon. The US is starting to wall off dungeons, and Trump is part of some weird military conspiracy. He's probably setting up The Patriots or something.

I've had enough. I've waited my entire life for something like this to happen, and there isn't much keeping me here. I'm getting off this planet. There aren't any gates in my town since the Fallout one was closed off. Which fucking sucks, because I know that setting like the back of my hand.

Does anyone know what Gates they have in San Francisco?

>>7843214
I think every dungeon has some level of DnD stuff, especially early on, it's just not usually the main theme, but you still find magic shit like an amulet that makes shields out of light or a weird book that I still haven't figured out.
But as for SanFran's themes, I got no clue, good luck mate.

I killed this, my whole body aches, my boots are partly melted, but I did it.

>>7843264
Whatever the theme is, I'm finding a Gate and going in. I'm hoping for something with Mechs though. Like Macross.

Have you tried breaking stuff apart? That was where Ammo is stored in Ratchet & Clank. You blasted crates and it popped out.

>>7843301
There are like, no crates on the first floor. Found one in the boss room though so that was nice.
I started finding Nanotech on floor 2 but I usually have to turn back before I get far into that level so fuck if I know.

>>7843352
Damn. Have you found any shops, or upgraded any of your weapons? Fusion Grenades were really fun to kite enemies with.

How are you physically? Have you tried doing any of the crazy stuff you can do in that game, like casual sideflips or running forever without getting tired?

>>7843423
I can't even strafe yet man, though the Nanotech did put me into damn near perfect physical form overnight, I used to be a lardass, but like, I got the Nanotech and then I woke up and had abs, like all my fat was converted to muscle.
Also, I still have signal on the second floor, so yay!
...Oh dear god sandsharks

>>7843445
It sounds like the further you go, the better the technology you can find. Which makes it easier to go farther, etc. Is it true the difficulty scales with how many people there are in the Dungeon? I'm looking for one right now, but it's just me. Alone. By myself. I'd rather not get killed.

>>7843503
Yeah, tech is better the farther you go, more ammo, more Nanotech, more enemies.
Fucking
I hate the pyrociter in game, but it was REALLY good at dealing with FUCKING SANDSHARKS
Just the Omniwrench does a decent job though.
The thing that spawns Sandsharks are tough as shit though, and no bolts to be found in return.
Found a chest though, here's hoping it's something good.

>>7843214
There is a gate there?

>>7843885
Seems like they're everywhere man.
I got some raratanium from that chest, and I have no idea what to do with it.
Boss time, I'm peeking through the door and... Oh god
It's captain quark.
DO I TAKE HIM ALIVE OR DESTROY HIM

>>7844019
I haven't seen a gate in my home city. Well, not yet.

>>7844067
Look around, they pop up in kinda unexpected places, like the one I frequent is on the shore of lake superior.
I'm scared to go into this boss room guys, it's Captain fucking Quark, standing around twirling his Combuster and making heroic poses and shit.

>>7844262
You know the old adage that complaining on the Internet always works?
Because a gate nearby was found, inside a series of abandoned cellars deep underground the commercial district. At least the first floor follows the same ambiance.

>>7844558
Sorry it took so long to reply, but that's great.
I just killed Captain fucking Quark, and I have been rewarded with his Combuster.

I'm not sure how to feel about killing him, given that I know if I had pulled him out of the dungeon I might have rehabilitated him, but Quark is a dick in most of his games anyways so even rehabilitated he might have just been a dick instead of a funny retard.
But the third floor is open for the first time, and my Glove upgraded.

>>7844927
I have
Several regrets
I don't even know if I have signal this far down, but if anyone is reading this, I fucked up
I was not prepared
I'm hiding behind a table so the tyrranoids don't see me
They're having a fucking war with gungeon monsters, and I'm caught in the crossfire
Halp

>>7845237
Which Gate?

>>7845237
>You hear something behind you.
>A familiar man wielding an M1 Garand is hiding next to you.
>He has a few new things on his person.
>Including a mask that covers the lower half of his face.

>>7846295
"Fucking hell mate, didn't expect to see you down here!"
>He grins, lobbing a fusion grenade over the table and blowing out a group of 'noids
"Glad to have some backup, you ready to kick some ass?"

>>7846459
>He grins.
>"Absolutely."
>He puts his M1 away and pulls out a rifle with a very odd looking sight.
>And shot a fucking beam of light at one of the groups of tyrranoids, ripping through three of them.

Hello again, went to check that gate. Didn't enter myself, I'm not that adventurous nor suicidal.
The local navy guys checked it out first, first floor is more cellars and generic fantasy stuff, second one is more cellars, but completely flooded with saltwater. Apparently the third floor has a full on nautical theme.

>>7846990
(Yeah, busy, gimme a little bit, sorry)

>>7847204
(I've got to head off in thirty minutes. I'm apologizing ahead of time)

>>7847118
Hey, are you saying that Gate is in SF? Because fuck everything, we're delving it. Or I am, if you aren't also planning a charge.

I have no idea what theme that would be, though. SOMA? Lovecraft? A dungeon completely underwater doesn't sound friendly.

>>7847258
or worse: Subnautica

>>7847595
Well, you just gave me a heart attack. At least if we found the giant sub we'd be invincible. Would that be worth delving, though? The replicator technology it has could redefine the world, but not really get us to space. They're still coding the part with the rocket.

>>7847660
if you want replication tech and spaceflight, find a fucking Star Trek Gate

>>7847668
Where the fuck is that? I'm wandering around SF right now and exploring the first Gate that I see. There aren't any yet, though.

>>7847692
I don't know, but if I can blast my way through a fucking Ratchet and Clank/Gungeon Gate I'm sure there's a Star Trek one out there

Speaking of which, my friend came in as backup, thank god. We've cleared out most of the third floor, a first for this Gate, I've been getting Nanotech and Ammo out the ass, which is fucking fantastic, but no really cool artifacts lying around yet.

We'll see with this boss. Peeked through the door and saw pic related.

I'm gonna stay the fuck out of melee with this bitch. Not sure about my buddy though.

>>7847258
>>7847692
I thought the SF gate was under Alcatraz?

>>7847786
Seems like big cities have several gates, I know there's at least five in NYC: one for each borough.

>>7847750
Holy fuck that looks evil. Did Ratchet & Clank really need overgrown snapping turtles with a taste for blood?

Let me know if you find any artifacts! Ratchet & Clank has enough guns to blast through an army. Or any other Gate that exists, except something like Terminator. Even then you'd have a shot. Just bring lava and acid weapons.

>>7847786
I found one near Moscone Center. I don't know what the theme is, but I'm finding out.

>>7847258
Sorry, not SF. This one was found under Valparaiso.
Though there are probably similar gates in other important port cities.

>>7847978
Dude this level scared my balls off as a child, and now it's scaring them off again, only THIS time, it's real, and I have to fight that or leave with what I've got, which I can't allow myself to do because I need some way out of this fucking planet before North Korean wizards begin to fuck up literally everything, and I KNOW Ratchet and Clank has FTL

>>7848096
Oh god I just realized there's probably a Gate containing fucking Sonic 06.

East st. Louis just got overun with those things for like, five hours
Apparently there's a gate they escaped from somewhere in the city, fuck if I know where though

>Over an hour of fighting later, the faggot stands victorious over Chairman Drek's giant mech, panting heavily
>He takes a picture of the dented and smoking machine at an angle that makes it still recognizable, posting it online
I LEARNED HOW TO STRAFE AND FLIP, AND JUST WENT WRENCH-ONLY ON THIS CUNT
HOLY SHIT I AM SO GLAD THIS THING RETURNS WHEN THROWN
...I obviously can't carry any of this mech back so I'm going through the glove box

(whoever started that twokinds shit killed the thread, good job faggot)

Holy shit
I just found pic related inside the mech
I don't know how to repair him if he's broken but still holy fuck

>He yawns, likely having been asleep this entire time.

>>7864285
>Ariun is somewhere else, possibly on the same floor, maybe not.
>You'd lost each other when a door slammed shut between you, and it locked the both of you apart.

>Ariun was actually on the sixth floor, wandering about and killing nearly everything he had come across.
>He had discarded the Hexagun and his M1.
>In favor of a small, azure-chrome pistol that he found in a black chest.
>It was the size of a regular Glock, but the rounds it fired quite literally shattered whatever it hit.
>And he was now about to fight the boss of this floor.

>>7865936
>Aidan descends the stairs to the sixth floor, only to find it already cleared and looted
>Realizing that Aruin must have somehow found a way past the last boss room without fighting it, he runs ahead, finding any unbroken ammo crates and filling up his weapons
>He's upgraded his Fusion grenades into the Fusion Bomb, which releases smaller grenades after the initial explosion
>His Combuster is his least used weapon, at level 2
>His Rift Inducer is up to level 3, which means he can merge rifts to make them last longer and suck in larger enemies
>He is unable to reach Aruin in time, and the boss door slams shut on him, locking him out of the fight

>>7866137
>The boss... didn't fit the theme of the earlier floors.
>It was a semi-corrupted mass of creatures and machines.
>It periodically released a disquieting sound of breath entering and leaving it's lungs.
>Ariun looked at the monster.
>Then he looked back at the door.
>"It seems you're in pain."
>He slowly pulls the pistol out of his holster.
>"Let's fix that."

>You hear the sounds of screeching, unsettling crunching, and the occasional sound of a small pistol firing.
>There's nothing you can do but wait, for now.

>>7866269
>While he waits, he looks for an on button for the little robot he picked up
>He unfortunately doesn't find one, but he DOES find some sort of beam emitter in it's chest cavity, where he stored items in the games
>It suddenly fires, striking Aidan and shrinking him down to microscopic size, dropping him into the robot's internals
>Looks like he's fixing this guy from the inside out

>>7866348
>Ariun stands before the beast, breathing becoming more difficult.
>Tends to happen when half of your right lung is gone.
>Good thing he wasn't human, or he'd have been dead at this point.
>Without Aidan watching him, he was free to use his natural abilities to the fullest.
>And so he did, wings spread wide and natural armor covering his body.
>The corrupted monster in front of him was made of a variety of enemies from different media, and it was a pain in the ass to deal with.
>Attacks were random and hard to predict, and typically caught Ariun off-guard.
>But he would win this fight.

>>7866598
(Wut)

>>7866639
(I kinda planned this out. When the one guy passed Fang on the street and daid 'You're not alone up here', he was talking about himself. But Aidan doesn't know this.)

Morning...
Where did the others go?
I'm a bit worried...
(Riley was the kid, right?)

>>7866735
(Riley is the kid.)
---
>"I dunno."
>He rubs his eyes with his fists.
>"Maybe one of the gate things."
>He steps past you, walking into the kitchen.
>The kid looks like he didn't sleep well.
>"Hey, can you grab the cereal?"
>He's pointing at a box of Cheerios.

>>7866720
(I kinda didn't realize they were the same person, wow)

>>7867007
(though, of course, this raises like, a lot of questions, namely why Ariun can be back in the dungeon without going mad like Mim)

>>7867007
(Well, everything detail in what I write is important, even for a single moment.)
>>7867071
(And that's because Ariun has been maintaining his composure for a long time, and has the willpower to overcome the dungeon's influence.)

>>7866598
>Meanwhile a shrunken faggot explores a robot's internal "organs", being guided by the AI's systems in the repairing of several parts, using a new magnet tool he was given to move larger bits of metal around
>It's surprisingly peaceful, no other enemies stalk the wiring, and once the robot is repaired, the automated systems help guide him back to the shrink ray, which reverses the process and jettisons him in the process, the whole thing finishing in time to see the boss door open once more

>>7867199
>Ariun quickly does away with any outward abilities before Aidan could see.
>Laying before the both of them was a huge pile of corpses strwen across the arena-like room.
>All from different origins.
>"So, uh... you won't need to deal with the boss. I took care of it."
>He puts one hand behind his hand and slides the pistol into his holster with the other.

>>7867290
>Aidan laughs
"I can see that, looks like we both missed each other's most fierce battles, while you were clearing this floor I was fighting Chairman Drek in a giant mech with just my wrench, got this little guy as a reward"
>He hoists the Clank lookalike onto his shoulder, it's still inactive, something else must be going on with it
"Not sure why it's still inactive, given I just spent the last half hour fixing it from the inside, thing has a fucking shrink ray, you know?"
>He puts it into his backpack and sets it on his shoulder
"So, keep going?"
(GOD SHITFUCK DAMNIT MY BOSS JUST CALLED ME IN, GTG)

>>7867486
(See you later then.)
---
>Ariun nods.
>"Yeah, we should keep going. Whenever you're ready."

>Up north, in the land of "holy fuck it's cold": Anchorage, Alaska
>The ice and snow have been keeping the monsters from coming out, but a brave man finally delved into it, and what he found would change the world, for Anchorage holds a dungeon themed after...

Um...
Do you remember what happened to her?
That could help...

>>7869248
(I apologize for the delay.)

>"I just remember seeing a monster, and then she was gone... I really don't know."
>He took a bite of cereal.
>"I really, really think she's still out there. Maybe in one of those Gates."

>A man armed with an ornate katana that makes sephiroth's look normal appears in the middle of Houston, Texas
>He massacres over a hundred people, until he comes across someone with Gate-Gear, who survives the initial cut and is able to put a bullet in the man's skull

>People are asking if anyone recognized the powers involved, namely absurd strength, speed, durability, and a sword that can cut portals

>Just reaching the bottom of one dungeon would take years...

>>7870889
>"Alrighty, let's go then."
>The both of you continued downwards to the next floor.
>And were surprised to see your breath fog the air as you descended the staircase.
>"It's fucking cold."

>>7870980
>Aidan pulls up his hood, warding off the chill
>He switches to the Fusion Bomb, the glove covering his left hand
>He tucks the other in his pocket, hiding the remainder of his bare skin
"I like it, fighting will keep us warm soon"
>He kicks open the door

>>7871101
>You caught a glimpse of a shifty expression on Ariun's face.
>You weren't sure what that was about.
>"I don't really like it too much, but I'm alright with it."
>He followed you downwards, to the first door of the next floor.
>He opened the door.

>There was nothing inside but a few old clay pots and a lantern.
>A door on the left and on the right.

>>7871187
>he looks through the pots, grabbing a few coins
>Then kicks open the door on the right, readying a fusion bomb

>>7871230
>Within the now opened room was a large number of bulletkin, though none you'd ever seen before.
>They looked like fifty cal. bullets and they were carrying massive rifles.
>"We should take cover. Like, now."

>>7871314
>The amulet is glowing again, it's been like three floors since it had enough light to charge, but he had plenty of light to work with inside the robot
"Nah, I got this"
>he winds up and throws Fusion bombs like baseballs, smacking the snipers in the face with explosions and letting the amulet tank the return fire
>soon the room is clear
>he laughs
"...is it bad I enjoyed that a lot? or enjoy being in here in general? Maybe I need to see a psychiatrist"
>he searches the room for ammo and nanotech
>with any luck they might get a stockpile to bring home and sell

>>7871419
>Within a small group of crates in the corner of a room was a little bit of nanotech.
>Ariun let you take all of it, though you suspected he was more injured than he let on.
>There was a green ammo crate within, and Ariun picked it up, restoring the ammo for the azure pistol.
>"Alright, where to now?"

>>7871496
>looks around for doors to kick in
>it's kinda become his habit now, leaving his hands free to apply murder directly to enemy foreheads

>>7871541
>You and Ariun quickly barrel through rooms and enemies before encountering a rather shiny looking crate.
>"You're up, Aidan."
>He nudges you towards the box.

>>7871606
>he gives it a firm whack with his wrench, making sure it's not a mimic before he opens it

>>7871651
>The crate growls at you.
>"It's a fucking mimic."
>It unfolds, stretching out into a vaguely bipedal shape.
>Massive, thin, razor sharp claws tipped the creature's hands.
>It had a fearsome glare in its three eyes.
>And a wicked grin filled with fangs.
>It charged towards the both of you before you could react.
>No, it was heading towards Ariun, who was running in the opposite direction.

>>7871750
"WE SAVING THIS ONE OR KILLING IT!?"
>runs after the mimic

>>7871775
>The question was answered the moment it came out of your mouth.
>IT had somehow caught Ariun in the chest with its claws.
>And it was tearing away at him.
>He was fighting back with everything he had though, but he wouldn't survive long.
>"We- aren't- saving- this one!"

>>7871806
>oh HELL NO
>he smashes his wrench into the mimic, forcing it off Ariun and into the wall
>at which point it has the life beaten out of it by a very angry faggot with an oversized wrench

i heard that a town near me had an undertale-themed dungeon


they already completely cleared the first few areas of it.

by killing absolutely everything.


there wasn't even any real treasure.

>>7871848
>After you finished smashing the damned thing to a pulp, you turned your attention to Ariun.
>And by your observations, he really shouldn't be standing right now.
>Blood poured out from the wounds across his chest, and you could almost make out his heart beating through the massive, deep gash.
>"Ah... shit."
>He gave a weak smile, and you half expected him to follow the cliche and collapse right there, but he stood and shrugged.
>"I was caught off guard. Can't believe it got me like that."

>>7871935
>Aidan tosses a Nanotech box over to the man, concern in his shaded eyes
"you might need another case, dude, you look like hell"
>He searches the mimic's remains while Ariun heals up

>>7871965
>"Thanks."
>He caught the case and used it immediately.
>The wounds on his chest were the first to heal, but it wasn't skin that was regenerating.
>They were scales.
>Ariun hid it the best he could with his tattered jacket and willed them to change back to regular skin.
>"Don't mind that, just... ignore it."
>He stood there nervously.

>he shrugged, pulling a new weapon from the mimic's chest

"heheheheh, ooooh I'm gonna have loads of fun with this one, watch your head if I pull this out, I'm... not sure if it will start randomly targeting after the first bounce"

>>7872126
>"Just be careful with it."
>Ariun was completely recovered at this point.
>"Anyways, I think that's the boss door right there."
>He pointed to a gilded door with an odd insignia on it.
>"Let's go."

>>7872175
"It ricochets off of literally anything, even after cutting said thing clean through. I really can't be careful with this, the only thing the homing blades won't target is me"
>He opens the door carefully this time, Fusion Bombs at the ready

>>7872244
>"You know what, I'll be fine. Just don't fire it directly at me."
>He walks forwards and kicks the boss door down.
>It fell with a resounding thud that seemed to rattle your brain in your skull.
>"Alright, let's go."

>The boss for this floor did not align with the typical Gungeon theme.
>It was a large tank that appeared to be made of ice.
>"Get ready!"

>>7872304
"OH FUCK"
>he throws a few fusion bombs, then switches to the Rift Inducer, ready to use it to suck up oncoming bullets

>>7872423
>The tank fires a blast of ice shards.
>They whizzed through the air, and though the majority were removed from existence by the Rift Inducer, one still managed to his you along the ankle.

>The fusion bombs his the tank and burst, then the miniature bombs exploded again.
>A large fracture appeared near the cannon of the tank.
>"Fire a grenade at me when I'm in the above this damned thing!"
>Ariun took advantage of its aggro being on you and leaped through the air.

>>7872497
"FUCKING SHIT, HANG ON"
>He hops on one foot, wincing as he lobs another bomb

>>7872634
>The explosive orb flew towards Ariun and reached him while he was directly above the tank.
>He spun midair and hit it with the back of his leg right into the crack.
>It detonated, causing the cannon to break off and crash to the ground.
>The tank was still operational though, and it continued to move about.
>The only weapons left on it were the small machine guns mounted on each side of it.

>Ariun landed, ridding himself of excess momentum by rolling and stopping in a crouched position.
>"I'll draw its fire, and you finish it!"

>>7872754
>he nods, making a mental note to get another camera for next time to record amazing shit like that
>he throws another bomb at the tank

>>7872794
>Ariun strafes around the tank as you bombard it with bombs, and soon, the thing comes crumbling down.
>"We fucking did it!"
>But the exit did not open.
>You could hear someone moving from within the destroyed tank.
>A small bulletkin popped his head out of the cockpit.
>Ariun climbed up the back of the vehicle and grabbed the bulletkin by the face, then proceeded to hurl it into the fucking ceiling.
>You heard a crunch, then the exit door began to open.
>"Alright, you wanna keep going?"

>>7872854
"Lemme check this thing out first, every boss so far has had a reward"
>he climbs into the tank, looking around for anything to yoink

>>7872893
>Ariun waited around to see what weird weapon you'd pull out this time.
>But the only thing you found was a small wooden chest.
>Within it was what looked to be the hilt of a sword.
>Small and cylindrical, with a small crystalline structure where the blade should have been attached.

>>7872931
"...huh, this isn't something I really expected, dunno what it is"
>he examines it as he clambers out of the tank
"Might be another magic artifact though, so I guess I'll keep it, but uh, I think we should take a break, I'm tired"

>>7872961
>"Alright man. I think that'll be a good idea."
>He takes a seat on the ground.
>"I think I have some explaining to do though."
>With that statement, you finally notice his eyes.
>They were the color of fire, and appeared reptilian in nature.
>"I can't seem to hide it anymore."

>>7872993
"...yeah I saw the scales and kinda figured you're a monster too, was just waiting for you to turn, dragon of some sort, I take it?"
>he sits down against the tank and pulls a blanket from the bottom of his backpack

>>7873012
>"Yeah. I've managed to keep it under wraps for a while, but the farther we go down, the more I'll end up changing."
>Ariun lays back and stares at the ceiling.
>"It's useful and all, and I keep getting stronger because f it, but you won't need to worry about me attacking you."
>He sighs.
>"Anyways, I'm not sure if I'm a dragon or something else, but I can do a variety of shit with the inherent abilities."
>You see his hand change into a large claw.
>"Like this."
>He flexes the fingers then clenches them into a fist.

>>7873070
"...if you say so, but I think we stop at floor ten, don't want to risk you turning feral like these other mooks"
>he lays the blanket down, insulating himself from the cold floor and lying on top of it
"...just wondering, you're still a guy, right? you didn't pick a disguise of the opposite gender?"

>>7873101
>"First off, I'm not going to go feral or whatever. I've always had my sapience."
>He looks at you.
>"And oddly enough, I don't think whatever I am has a gender. I think I'm a shapeshifter or something along those lines. I'd like to thing I'm a guy though."
>You hear him laugh a bit.
>"What brought that on?"

>>7873127
"Curiosity, and the fact that I don't like fucking up, met too many transgenders in high school and the whole gender thing just stuck"
>He groans
"High school sucked dude, be glad you weren't there for that"

>>7873149
>"I'm quite familiar with human culture. People are odd."
>Another bit of laughter.
>"But yeah, I'm a guy. Anyways, what do you think caused the Gates to start surfacing?"

>>7873185
"Fuck if I know dude, maybe God got bored watching humans fuck around on their own"
>he shrugs
"Maybe the answer is at the bottom, but I somehow doubt that... anyways, I'm gonna pass out, night man"
>he rolls over, falling asleep
(night mate)

>>7873223
>"`Night."
>Ariun curls up and covers himself with a large wing.
>You hear him quietly talking a bit.
>"I just hope the guy doesn`t take off... He`s my one shot at finding her."
>A slight sigh.
>"I don`t even know if this is the right gate..."
>You doze off as he mumbles to himself.

>"Hey, Aidan, you still asleep?"

>>7876076
>Ariun waits around for you to wake up, experimenting with his abilities while he stands guard.
>Wings, claws, armor, and Ariun realizes he can fucking breathe fire.
>He still maintains a human appearance though, but his eyes still give him away.

>>7877244
>"You`re right about that."
>He takes a bite of the muffin.
>"We`re going to reach floor ten today though."
>By the determined expression on his face, you could tell he was serious.
>"And I`ve got something for you. Went off treasure hunting on this floor and found this."
>He held up another glove.
>A mini-turret glove.
>"Here, catch."

(WEW I thought I hit submit a while ago sorry about that)

"Holy shit dude, thank you"

"So I know these weapons can be upgraded using these, but I'm not sure how..."
>He tries to just bring the two together, to no effect
>Then he consults his helpdesk watch, and finds out it only works if he finds a vendor
>He sighs
"Well, so much for that"
>He tucks the crystal away
"Let's go"

>>7877844
(Don't worry, I was busy anyways, just got back.)

>"Alright, let's head down."
>And so the two of you did.
>The stairs gradually shifted from a slippery expanse of ice to weathered stone.
>It was warmer than before, and the air felt humid.
>The eighth floor opened up before the both of you.
>Behind you was a doorway that had nothing behind it, likely functioning like the Gates.
>In front of you was a field that stretched off to the horizon.
>Ariun was stricken with disbelief at the sight.
>He looked to you like you had an answer.

>>7877928
"...I got nothin mate, this is fucking insane, magic bullshit, and I get the feeling we're going to be here a while"
>he looks around for landmarks, any indication of where they might find the boss, or loot, or anything

>>7877942
>A bright cerulean star hung in the sky, setting in the direction you would now call west.
>To the east looked to be a forest.
>Close to the west was a river.
>Behind you was the door, and further south the grassland continued for what seemed like forever.
>"So, where to now?"

>>7877993
"to the big star, because that's the most interesting thing I can see"
>he sets off, keeping his weapon at the ready

>>7878019
>You and Ariun followed the setting sun for what felt like hours.
>The land resembled what you'd find on Earth, and it could've fooled you if not for the blue star lingering overhead.
>There was a cool breeze blowing though the grass.

>Soon, you came upon the river.
>Nothing too special.
>Throughout all of the time you were traveling, you hadn't encountered any monsters.
>"We should take a break here. We've been walking for a while, and we can get more water from the river."

>>7878092
"Yeah...man, this is fucking surreal, I knew these things were like, not normal, but this takes the cake so far"

>>7878120
>The both of you sat near the river, the sound of moving water serving as white noise that seemed to help you concentrate.
>After a few minutes, you heard something call out from above you.
>There was a winged figure soaring above.
>It was vaguely humanoid, but you could feel the hostility from here.
>You were in for the first fight in hours.
>Ariun quickly stood and lifted you up as well.
>"Get ready."

>>7878142
"Yep, I've got eyes on it"
>He raises the Rift Inducer, ready for anything
"This is gonna be tougher than the last fights, I can feel it"
>He grins
"Time to have some fun"

>>7878169
>It crashed into the ground next to you and lashed out with a kick.
>Ariun caught the monster's leg before it could hit you and hurled the thing into the air.
>"Better get your camera, Aidan. And get ready to fire."
>A large pair of scaled wings sprouted from his back, and he ascended into the air.

>>7878206
"OH THAT'S BULLSHIT, I WANT TO FLY TOO"
>he switches from the Rift Inducer, knowing it takes too long to set up a Rift big enough to suck in this thing
>he pulls out the buzz blades, then reconsiders and switches to the Combuster, peppering the other dragonoid with plasma

>>7878238
>The majority of your shots connect as Ariun and the monster duke it out,
>Every time one of the bolts of plasma seem to be off target, he directed his assault to force the target towards the round.
>"Get a rift ready!"
>Time seems to slow around you as you see Ariun soar above the monster.
>You knew exactly what he was planning to do.

>>7878290
>he's going to fucking dunk this other dragonoid, and Aidan's giving him a net
>he fires off three rifts in close proximity under the flying beasts, and they merge, making one just large enough to dunk through
"GO!"

>>7878324
>"HERE IT COMES!"
>With a flourish of wingbeats, Ariun manages to direct all of his movement and momentum into a front-flipping kick that crunched directly into the chest of the monster with his heel.
>There was a dramatic half second before the creature was launched by the attack with a burst of force.
>It sped downwards at an incredible speed and went through the rifts, tearing shreds of flesh and scale from the monster as it descended.
>It hit the ground with a thud, and you heard the sound of a variety of bones breaking.
>Ariun landed next to you and looked at the broken husk of a monster.
>Did you catch all of that?"

>he sighs
"I don't have a camera mate, lost the one I had, otherwise I'd have been recording the whole time, but that was fucking cool"
>he waits for the rifts to vanish, then looks over the corpse of the beast
"this thing kinda looks like you"

>>7878467
>"It sort of does, yeah. I've been keeping the human thing up for such a long time that it's become almost instinctual. That's probably why I don't look like that."
>As he said this, you could see the resemblances.
>The wings and claws, the eyes too.
>There were subtle differences as well.
>Ariun's scales were a metallic cyan while the bloodied beat in front of you had dull green scales.
>"I don't believe I've ever appeared like that though."
>He pointed a thumb backwards towards the monster.

>The draconic creature was still alive, somehow.
>It stumbled to its feet and looked you dead in the eye.
>You saw the flame that wreathed its face as it began to exhale a crimson flame.
>Ariun was still looking at you, not noticing the threat behind you.

>Aidan points the Rift Inducer at Ariun
"Duck!"
>He fires

>>7878760
>Ariun drops to the ground as you fire a rift into the chest of the monster.
>You see strings of matter tear away from its body as it becomes trapped within the vortex, and soon it ceased struggling.
>The rift dissipated, leaving what remained of the creature on the ground.
>"Holy shit... it's still fucking alive."
>Ariun pointed out the shallow movements of the thing's chest as it drew in rough, unsteady breaths.
>He walked over to it and looked down.
>"Hey... if there's someone in there, just stop this now. You don't have to die."
>You heard a deep, rumbling voice answer back.
>"Can't... breathe... why... dark, yet bright..."
>Ariun backed away.

>>7878834
"...should we kill it, or try to heal it?"

>>7879181
>The light in its eyes had faded already.
>There was likely no saving this thing.
>"I don't think we can do anything. I may have gone overboard with that kick..."
>There's a solemn expression on his face.
>"If you think you can do something, go for it. It's your decision."
>He tosses you the medallion, and it turns green as it flips through the air.

>>7879260
>he catches it, then looks at the dragon
"...I don't think we can do anything either, and that's okay, this thing... it's not like you, it's dumber, more feral"
>he flips it back and shoots the poor bastard in the face with his combustor
"Let's go"

>>7879284
>There's some conflicting emotions on Ariun's face as you walk away from what you just did.
>"Alright."

>You both cross the river and continue onward.
>It was quiet for the first few minutes.
>Ariun broke the silence.
>"So... was your only motivation for Gatecrashing to adventure and obtain loot, or is there another reason?"
