(You're also forgetting Wreck-It Man's running around the city, so there may be more than an epic 2/3 vs. 1 battle pounding it even further into the ground. But then again, Wreck-It Man only cares about bashing everything that functions so it could still be a lopsided battle.

"I'm beginning to notice the Robot Masters have stopped looking for us," Hierophant mutters, "You think they've given up, realizing they can't detect us in our invisible state?"
"I seriously doubt it," Death tsks, "Knowing the old bat, he has something else set up that will have them springing out in front of us the second we find our way back to the control room."
Hierophant lets out an exasperate groan, "Why do I get the feeling it has something to do with the one thing we couldn't cover up...?"
"Between being chased by a gender-confused being we know little about and an old codger who's most threatening value to our current situation is turning up the volume on his surveillance cameras, we' re pretty much screwed no matter how hard we try to 'rescue' Emperor without anyone realizing our intent. Our only chance of even keeping his existence moot would just be to sneak into the control room and get him out before either one of them are aware that we're not the only ones lurking about this place."
Hierophant looks towards Death in concern for their own safety before letting out one final exasperate groan and continuing towards the control room in a casual, yet cautious pace.
