Arthur runs up beside Alan and punches a wax/ melted down bone Neanderthal away. He looks around, more and more of them are approaching, mummies, skeletons, insects, all sorts of monsters.
"Okay, we need to find that thing fast, what could stop the Machinations? Hypothetically?" Arthur asked.

"Something that could block dimensional shifting or is depriving us of ambient energy to charge the summoning." Harriet explains as she wrestles with a sabretooth tiger.
"So in other words something that can block portals or is hogging up all the local magic." Martain clarified stabbing a facsimile of a knight through their chainmail covered neck.
"Exactly."

"Okay, so it's a magical device," Arthur said "And we can assume a very powerful one, possibly angelic in origin, though that's unlikely due to the Hellfire clubs MO," His left leg shot out and kicked a velociraptor covered in bits of stuffed badger in the neck "Now, Banquo is a weak mage, she can't do this sort of thing without some sort of magical aid, she's resurrected every beast in this museum, every. Single. One." He performed a rather impressive duck as a waxwork soldier swung it's zombie-snake-whip at him, his voice was a little faster, almost very-nearly frantic "Now, this requires a lot of magic, we can assume that it goes over London and is absorbing all the arcane energy into this building, where would be the best place to put such a device ..."

"Somewhere underground closer to the ley lines." Harriet explains bringing her axes down on the Sabretooth Tiger's exposed spine.
"Meaning, the basement." Alan clarifies blasting a 16th Century Trapper with hellfire. "We make fun of you for the Beaver hats by the way."

"We make fun of us for the beaver hats," Arthur tells him "Okay, then basement it is, everyone hold on because we're going down there very quickly,"
Arthur pulls out two keys, the first is the pastel red Macbeth key that transforms him into the armoured power form he relies on for heavy close combat. And the second is the darker punch trigger key. He punches both fists into the floor and pulls it apart sending everyone and everything down a level, which promptly gets punched in to the basement.

Not given quite enough notice to properly brace themselves for the fall the Rangers land in a large lump along with the bones and stuffed furs of assorted rare and extinct animals.

"Ding!" Arthur says, standing up "Bottom floor, groceries, garden tools and powerful magic artefacts,"

Harriet makes her way over to a wooden crate and breaks off six long chunks. She lights one of them with hellfire and passes it to Arthur and passes the others unlit to the other rangers.
"Light them, the hellfire will be naturally drawn to whatever is draining the magic if it really is here."

"Got it," Arthur said with a nod "Let's find us a magical item!"

The rangers nod and each go a different direction trying to find whatever is draining the magic.

Arthur chooses to follow Penny.
"So ..." He asks, trying to fill the awkward silence "Are you Alan's girlfriend or something?"

"Was, we broke up a bit before we made our contracts and got the demon crystals." Penny sighed as her torch started flickering.
"Something's close."

Arthur looked up and peeked into the distance.
"What the Hell is that?" He asked as a large green orb started glowing in the distance.

"Probably what we are looking for. Let's smash it and go." Penny says readying her whip to attack the orb.

The orb starts humming. Arthur stops and then pushes Penny aside as a blast of energy shoots between them. He looks up and whistles as the object comes into view, chained to the walls is a young woman in a tattered dress with one eye glowing bright green. She's out of breath and her breathing seems strained (not surprising because she's being crucified).
"Um ... I think we found what's blocking your mecha," Arthur says.
