The ark crashed to the ground, and Gadget considered the logistics of his prior plan.
"We aren't getting in through the bottom any more."
The wreckage was pretty bad, and the fire was now spreading to the Ark itself. There was no longer any truly safe place in the arena, but then again, was there ever? Exploring the Ark while it was mostly undestroyed did still seem like a good idea, however, and the top had plenty of entrances it seemed, plenty of them probably not intended entrances.
"Is it really a good idea to still go in, Gadg?"
"Eh, don't be such a pansy! It's probably fine!"
"Need I remind you that you consist of a rather flammable substance?"
Carrie was already taking Gadget down to the Ark while those two argued. They did catch up soon after, and eventually they landed.
"Okay, I'm going to get this out of the way right now. It's probably dangerous ahead, and Jim, you aren't particularly using a lot of energy from me any more anyway. The last time I tried this, it took a lot, but at this point... I've got to pull out the big guns. Most of the other 'contestants' seem to have realized that this is truly to the death by now, and the easiest way out is to win."
"Does this mean we actually get to fight back now?"
"That it does, Whir," Gadget said, as he pulled out the Debree debris and Grimm's mask, "As much as I hate it to come to this, defending myself probably involves killing. If there's anybody that I'd settle for, it'd probably be the guy with the gun. He's clearly unstable. Surviving is going to take a little more than we've got... so I'm going to try something."
Whir looked at the mask and Debree.
"...wait, really? Didn't you say you were gonna honour Grimm somehow?"
"I am... sort of. It's not quite what I originally had in mind... but basically I'm not just letting him go down. I can only hope that this works out for the best..."
Gadget grabbed some broken wood from nearby, and 'smeared' some of the shadows that made up the pile around, sort of connecting the pile of debris to the mask. And then he focused.
The concentration required was intense. It wasn't normally so difficult, but there was something about this. It made sense, since the mask was so full of power.
Finally, it worked, and Gadget was thoroughly winded from it, falling down instantly.
The pile formed into a vaguely humanoid shape, with the mask serving as a face. It looked around a little bit inquisitively.
"A name for this... I don't know. I- hey, what the... I don't feel it's energy."
The creature seemed suddenly started, and hastened away quickly, crashing through a wall on it's route.
"...there's a powerful creature made out of a building running around with shadowy powers, now, isn't there?"
"It's already autonomous! It couldn't have learned enough instantly! Something went wrong, somehow."
The four stood in silence for a brief moment. It seemed that just acting on a whim wouldn't cut it any more. It was time for planning.
