The Megappliance watched as Frederica slid under its legs, her spear becoming lodged between the tire of one of its feet and the rest of the forklift. Much to its surprise, the electricity managed to sever the connection between the tire and its mainframe, reducing the appliance's mobility to only one leg. However, being so close to the machine also had consequences. The mech reached down with its vacuum arm and turned the suction on full blast to try and pick up Frederica, attempting to pull her into the air and into the gaping 'mouth' of the freezer on top.

Frederica jumped back between the Megappliance's legs, but the vacuums already hed her in their suction. She pressed a button on her spear and quickly flicked it to the side. The tip of her spear launched, connected to the shaft only by a thick metal rope. It wrapped around the composite robot's leg and she grabbed the rope near the head. Now she could hold on without getting scooped up.
Seeing her comrade in trouble, Danielle jumped and stepped on the head of her now upside-down hammer. fire suddenly bellowed out of the back side of the hammer, like a rocket and propelled her forward. "You dumbass! If you get caught, I'll kill you!" She grabbed Frederica's arm and did the hammer rocket trick again to try and pull her away from the robot.

Both Danielle and Frederica were rocketed away from the grasp of the Megappliance, the mech's other arm pointing at the two of them to shine a bright light that would surely blind them for a few seconds on the way down. The Megappliance was about to start attacking once more...until a dark black sword pierced the wires connecting the freezer with the rest of the Megappliance, causing it to topple over and crash into the ground below. Behind the mech was Rina, looking confident in the fact she 'decapitated' the beast.
"I'm baaaaack. Come on, this thing was so easy to b-" Her speech was cut short when a strange rumbling was heard in the kitchen, followed by a microwave flying out of the door frame and attaching to the spot the freezer had been. The Megappliance's 'face' glowed a threatening orange now, glaring down at all of them and lighting a flame where the ice used to flow out of. The mech then released a wave of fire at Vivi, Danielle and Frederica, Rina diving out of the way before it could turn around to face her.

The bright lights blinded the two women.
"Ugh, I thought we destroyed their light bulbs before we imprisoned them! How the hell can they be so bright now?" Danielle complained, but not for long. They heard a sudden crash and the bright light moved off of them. While their eyes adjusted again to the normal light levels, they could see a silhouette with pigtails posing victoriously.
"I'm baaaaack. Come on, this thing was so easy to b-"
"You dumbass, get back! Did you already forget you were fighting that thing even before the other shits combined with it?" Danielle's shouts were too late. A microwave flew out of the kitchen and before any of them could do anything, it combined with the other appliances. The Megappliance came back to life with a vengeance.
It started spewing flames the the team. "Genevive!" Frederica shouted, dragging Danielle behind her as she ran to their hyperactive comrade. "Quick, do you have a shield or something in that jacket?"

"Shield? Right, shiiiiiiield! Awaaaaaaaaaaay!" Vivi shouted carefreely, reaching into her jacket and pulling out a large rectangular metal shield and plopping it down in front of herself and Frederica, blocking the flames. The monster turned its attention toward Danielle next, trying to light the shortest member of the team on fire. Rina was still behind the Megappliance, trying to find any weak points like last time.

Frederica dragged Danielle with her to Vivi, but despite her small stature, the shield was too small for all three of them to fit behind it.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me..." Danielle said when the Megappliance turned its attention directly to her. Seeing no other option, she started running. There was no time to stop. "Someone do something!"
"Genevive, move forward! If it tries attacking us, we still have a shield!" Frederica said.

"Right, let's go!" Vivi exclaimed, picking up the shield and sprinting forward. "Onwaaaaaaaaaaaarohmygosh!" The hyper girl yelled as she tripped onto the shield, sending it and her sliding toward the Megappliance. Rina rubs her face in annoyance when she witnesses the scene in front of her, but turns her attention back to the task at hand. "Vivi! You and her electrocute that last leg! Danielle! Knock it over when they disable the leg!" The black-haired girl yelled, leaping up and stabbing her sword directly into the gas intake for the flamethrower, releasing a stream of pressurized gas that quickly makes the flames fizzle out from lack of fuel.

"Oh my." Frederica gasped when Genevive slid away. "Are you okay?" She ran over to her clumsy comrade to give her a hand. Suddenly, Rina started barking orders.
"Understood!" Frederica twirled her spear and ran forward. Once she was close enough, she stabbed her spear into the first open space she saw and electricity surged forward.
"Who the hell do you think you're giving orders to?" Danielle shouted, but she ran towards the Megappliance anyway. She used her rocket hammer to propel herself forward, but then stored the hammer away. If she hit the thing with her hammer, she would end up damaging it too much. Instead, she just body slammed it.

The Megappliance stood off-balance when Frederica stabbed its other leg with her spear, finally being knocked over by Danielle's body slam. The robot crashed into the ground, its various parts detaching in places and skidding across the floor. Confidently walking up to the downed shamble of appliances, Rina opens the hood of the forklift and flicks off the battery attachments with her sword, the machine now turned off so the electricity wouldn't travel down the blade. Closing the lid, Rina turns to the group.
"Looks like that's the last of them! Let's go back to that guy and get our reward!" As she walked toward the door...she couldn't help but notice there was a toaster clinging to Frederica's leg with its power chord. "...why do you have a toaster hugging your leg?"

"Hm?" Frederica looked down at her foot. The little toaster was holding on tight. "Aw, little Toasty." She bent oer to pick him up. "We found him a couple of rooms ago. He's cute, isn't he? Danielle said we could keep him. He can do tricks! Look!"
She stretched her arms forward and a piece of toast popped out of Toasty. An image of Rina in a victorious position, one arm holding her sword in the air and one foot on a bunch of defeated robots, was burned in on the toast.

Catching the piece of toast in her right hand, Rina smiles at the artwork displayed on the toast. "Oooo...I like it! He must have some kind of specialized heat grates that can change form." Pocketing the piece of toast in a small bag she brought with her, Rina looks at Frederica with a little bit of disappointment. "But...he belongs to the guy who lives here. We could ask if he could give it to us, but I have my doubts he will agree." What a shame...having a toaster friend around would be amazing!

"As you just said, we can still ask. Maybe we can ask him to include it in the payment?"
"No way! I'm not losing money so you could have a damn pet toaster!"
"We could ask for a bonus since we didn't destroy anything. All he really needs to do is hammer out some dents. What do you think, Rina?"

Thinking for a moment, Rina smirks and nods her head. "Yeah...we didn't destroy any of these things! And since this little guy can communicate..." Reaching down and picking up the toaster, Rina gives him a small hug, pressing the toaster up against her chest. "What do you think, little guy? Want to come back to our place and be part of the team?" She asked, Vivi peering over Rina's shoulder and grinning. "We could have a toaster that can make pictures?! Awesooooooooooooooooooooooome!" She exclaimed, looking on with excitement.

The toaster spat out a piece of toast with a circle on it. "I think that means yes." Frederica said.
"Yeah, yeah. Great. Let's go get payed now." Danielle said and started going back.
Without any fighting, it didn't take nearly as long to come back.
"Oh, you're here!" They were greeted by a very excited man. "I assume your mission is complete?"

Confidently stepping forward, Rina looked the man in the eye as she spoke. "That's right! We managed to stop all the robots without destroying any of them. However, along the way we ran into this little guy..." She held up the toaster. "...and it appears that he wants to come back with us. So as an extra reward for not destroying your rampaging electronics...I request this toaster be given to us in addition to the reward. What do you say?" Rina asked, hoping the toaster gave some kind of indication that it wanted to go with them again. Vivi peeked over the side of everyone, curious to see if this guy was going to say yes or not.

The man thought about it. "Well, if you didn't destroy anything, I suppose a bonus is fitting... But first I have to make sure you're telling the truth." The man went inside.
10 minutes later
"Well, looks like you were telling the truth. Mostly. It's gonna take a while to hammer out the dents. But I guess you can keep it," the man said when he returned.

"Wooooohooooo!" Vivi exclaimed, grabbing the toaster from Rina and shoving it back into Frederica's arms. "We gotcha, little guy!" She excitedly says to the toaster, Rina chuckling while watching the display. "Well, thank you. Now, how do you wish to pay for this? We can accept cash or checks right now! It was quite the ordeal disabling all of those robots, you understand?" Rina states, trying to get the guy to pay them now so they won't have to track him down later. Vivi continued to be distracted by the toaster, admiring her own reflection in the metal and making faces.

"Yay, Toasty gets to stay with us!" Frederica was happy.
"Woohoo." Danielle did not share her enthusiasm.
The man said, "Um, I don't have that much cash on me right now. I guess I'll just write you a check." He pulled out his pen and checkbook, wrote down the amount he owed and gave Rina the check. "Don't spend it all in one place, eh?" He chucked awkwardly.

Gladly accepting the check, Rina carefully placed it into her dress pocket(not the one with the toast in it) and gave the man a confident smile. "Oh, we won't. Thank you for your business! If you ever need our services again, here is my business card." The black-haired girl offers a small rectangular piece of paper with her name and company contact information on it. Waving as she left, Rina joined the group once more. "Time to head back, team! Great work today!" She stated, Vivi happily skipping down the street toward the nearest teleporter.
-Back at base-
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere back!" Vivi exclaimed as she leaped onto the couch and flipped on the television to see that The Price Is Right was on. "Ooooo...they're giving away another car?! We should go on here!" "We can't do that, Vivi. They have to pay taxes on that thing, and we don't have eight thousand dollars to just burn." Rina explained, sitting in a chair close to the couch. Finally, today's missions were done.

The man took the card without a word and the girls departed.
"Ah, we get some rest finally. Rest is good for the body after such strenuous activity." Frederica Anservo said and took Toasty to the kitchen. "This is where you'll be staying Mr. Toasty."
The toaster looked around (even though he had no obvious eyes or anything else that seemed like a photoreceptor) and walked over a part on the counter he decided to call home. Or bed. Or his office. After all, he was a toaster and his job was making toast. Folding in his arms and legs, he seemed like just a normal toaster. Frederica seemed glad he already felt at home.
"Pft, you watch the dumbest shows," Danielle said. "I'm going to finish my shower. There better not be another call before I'm done!" And Danielle left.
