Snippet #2394009

While up in the airship, Claptrap should notice a massive portal-forming machine sparking wildly nearby, with dozens of armed Metal Koopas running out of it, to the above deck. A nearby cylindrical glass container is hooked up to it, with a glowing white cube floating within it. Strangely enough, the Metal Koopas seem to be ignoring Claptrap, merely marching by him. Perhaps they have mistaken him for a fellow unit..?

-----

The Metal Koopas Jagger gathers up with his magnetic abilities start forming into a ball of screaming steel, wildly firing their weapons, but they just keep swarming, jetting down from the airship..

"Power of Earth, meet kinetic force!" A Metal Koopa suddenly yells, pulling out a rocket launcher and firing at Ganymede.

-----

The Metal Koopas that had stumbled onto the key are blown away, but suddenly more appear from within the woods.

"Halt, organic scum!" One of the Metal Koopas near the group shouts, shortly before it and the few others who made it this far into the woods start firing.

-----

The sound of electricity crackling can be heard from below deck, growing louder as Metal Koopas continue pouring out.

"Sssir, at thisss rate, the catalyssst sssupplying our power reservesss will be depleted, leaving usss dead in the airrr," Ripsaw notes. "We might not be able to keep the foundry porrrtal open much longerrr.."

"I'm well aware, Ripsaw, and I don't rightly care." Plantium said as he massaged his temples, visibly becoming irritated. "If worst comes to worst, you're going down there, next - but I imagine you'd enjoy that, wouldn't you?"

"It would be a gloriousss sssight," Ripsaw says gleefully, his hideous jawplates forming a twisted grin.
