INKMAN VERSUS THE SHARED UNIVERSE

"Good night, Tori..." Eli shuffled into bed- but it was 3 P.M...

"Eli... Huh... well I can't blame you." Tori muttered as she looked at her partner doze off, then looked at her bright glowing egg that shimmered in the sunlight.

"Make sure... to... turn off... ZZZZZZZZZ." Eli fell fast asleep.

"Well, I'll have to check on Volta." Tori muttered as she put on a headset, then stepped out.

0000000

"Huah..." Eli woke up to find Tori shaking him worriedly, "Tori!?" he looked around, "What's wrong!?" he shot up worriedly.

"I lost sign of Volta!" Tori typed furiously into her laptop, "I'm not picking her up- or Chirpington for that matter!" she cried, "I don't know! I lost contact with them 10 minutes ago!"

"What?!" Eli shot up, then ran to the changing tube.

"Ever since both of them got near the city square, they stopped emitting signals!" Tori yelled as she traced the bleepy dots back to their last point of transmission, "Look... Oh... what could have gone wrong!?"

"Don't worry..." Inkman appeared, "I'll get to the bottom of this..." he muttered, then ran off to the launching platform.

"Inkman... be careful..." Tori muttered as she placed her headset on once more.

0000000

"I still haven't lost you... thank heavens..." Lodestar sighed as she typed, "You're nearing the area of disappearance for both Volta and Chirpington... I'll try to boost the signal-" her transmission was cut off abruptly.

"Lodestar?" Inkman called, "Lodestar, can you read me? Lodestar? Ah..." he gasped when he saw that the traffic under him was backed up for miles, all stopped by strategically placed police block offs. "What in the world?" our hero mumbled as he swooped down and landed in one of the blockage points.

"He's here!" some police officers, who were aiming their weapons ahead, cheered as Inkman landed nearby.

"Da da- DWAH!" Inkman struck a car, causing it to shake and tumble, along with him, "Argh..." he groaned.

"Are you ok!?" some police inklings ran to him.

"Do not fret!" Inkman raised his hands, "I was just checking if the vehicles were up to safety standar- AH!" he yelped when the airbag inside the police car burst open.

"Thank heavens you're here, Inkman!" a Police Inkling walked up, "There's something strange happening in the Square... people have vanished like crazy..." she warned, "Like... once you make it to the tower, you're good as gone."

"Your partner stepped in... she hasn't come back out!" a heavily armored Civil Defense shrimpite spoke, keeping his Blaster aimed ahead, "We probably sent four armored squadrons in there too... none have come out as well..."

"Do no worry, citizens... I am here." Inkman looked ahead, then scanned the area with his Inkredible Ink Vision, "What the?" he muttered, since once he zoomed in a certain point he received static in return.

"Is there something wrong, Inkman?" a Police jellyman asked.

"My Ink Vision seems to be failing at some point..." Inkman zoomed out, regaining his sight, "This is odd.

"Yeah, at some point all electronics just cease to work..." another Civil Defense member spoke, "We sent a small drone buggy in there, but once it crossed that corner, we lost it." he informed.

"You need to see what's going on in there Inkman!" a Police anemonite cried, "The people are getting frightened, we need you!"

"The Mayor has no more excuses to tell them!" another officer spoke, "I heard they're considering bringing the army..."

"That will not be necessary!" Inkman pointed upwards, "I swore to protect this city, and I shall do so no matter the cost!" he yelled and stepped forward.

"Be careful, Inkman!" a Civil Defense guard spoke, "Please, find out what's going on!"

"I will!" Inkman told him, "Now! Inkman! Away- DWAH!" he crashed into one of the barriers, flipping over and falling to the other side of the perimeter.

"We have your back, Inkman!" a Civil Defense sniper, who was hiding behind a trash can, called out to him as she fixed her anemone tendrils.

Inkman nodded, then ran off into the square, reaching the infamous corner of disappearance.

Instantly, all of our hero's electronics died, his radio was cut off, his Ink Vision faltered to the point where he relied on the pure glass to see, and his Pneumatic Power Enhancers shut down.

"Huh..." Inkman sighed as he threw his PEEs to ground, seeing they became more of a burden than a blessing.

Reaching the square, he only managed to see few vestiges of clothing, articles, and even weaponry laying about. The area was dead quiet, not a creature was found around to make a sound.

"Hmm..." Inkman picked up a police issue Inkstol from the ground and inspected it, "Nothing out of the ordinary..." he muttered to himself, then put in in his utility belt.

The area was completely deserted, save for a few cars that seemed to be turned off on the spot, as some were still in the formation of the typical Inkopolis traffic.

"Nothing strange yet." Inkman looked to see the train station, then ran and started to climb over the fence which led to the square itself. "Ha- GAH!" our hero's cape became snagged as he descended from the fence, "GRAH!" he groaned and finally pulled himself down, along with the chain links.

KLING!

"Oof!" Inkman growled in pain as the metal struck him, "Ha..." he sighed and picked himself up, "Well... there's really nothing strange going on here..." he turned around, only to see a metal entity standing right behind him.

Inkman tried to look over the being, then around him, but to no avail.

"Hey, can you move, I'm try to-" Inkman paused when he realized his folley, "Oh..." he looked up the large entity and saw that I was gazing back down at him.

The being opened its eyes and then a large beam of light shot out of them, instantly vaporizing Inkman!

"BWAH!" Inkman yelled as he was turned into dust, which curiously kept his two eyes intact and blinking, "Achoo!" he sneezed and returned back to normal.

The entity stepped back in shock.

"So... You're the one who has caused all those disappearances..." Inkman muttered, "Who are you!?" he asked and clenched his fists.

However, the being spoke in some form of archaic tongue which took Inkman a while to understand.

"Ah... so like a Ghost?" Inkman mumbled, "Well... That creepy name won't save you, evil doer!" our hero stepped forward and ran to punch the metal being.

DONG! Inkman shook from the punch, while the entity stood unfazed.

"Ah..." Inkman groaned in pain and held his hand, "Ouch Ouch Ouch." he cried.

The metal entity roared and slammed Inkman down, causing our hero to tunnel through the Earth, go through the core, tunnel more, then shoot out on the other side and blast off into space.

"AGH!" Inkman gagged as he felt the vacuum of space effect him, then quickly pulled a fish bowl out of his utility belt and placed it on his head.

Instantly, the metal being teleported in front of him, and then made the movements of complete surprise.

"It takes more that a Super Punch to take down the Inkman!" Inkman yelled, "Now feel my Devastating Strength!" he pounced, only to slowly make his way towards his foe.

Slowly... Slowly... Slowly...

The metal entity was tired of waiting and grabbed our hero, then spun around the globe until reaching the day side, then threw Inkman back to Earth.

"WAHHHHHH!" Inkman yelled as he plumetted through the atmosphere, burning up into a crisp.

CRASH! Our hero landed in the Inkopolis Square in ashes.

"ACHOO!" Inkman sneezed and regained his body, "Agh... Man... Now I have allergies- HEY!"

The metal being picked up our hero, and ran towards the base of the Inkopolis Tower, then, out of nowhere, the entity turned around.

"HRAH!" the metal entity roared and threw Inkman again, then launched his eye beams.

"Inkman's Super Cape!" Inkman swooped upwards and avoided the beams, "Boom Boom Sticks!" he yelled and threw his little firecrackers.

However, the smoke cleared to show that the metal being was unfazed.

"Everyone step away!" Inkman yelled, though there was no one to receive his message, "Oh..."

ZZZAAAAPPP! the being launched his beams again.

"Spring Slinkies!" Inkman shot up and swooped down, "Fearsome Falcon Dive!" he yelled and tackled the being, only to cause himself more damage and become flat as paper upon impact.

A flattened hero soon fell down like a dainty feather.

"HA!" Inkman breathed in and regained is form, "HA... Ha..." he looked up at the metal entity, "I see you are strong in the ways of the Forc-"

"HRR-" The Metal Entity tried to lunge at out hero, but was suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" Inkman looked as his foe strained to move himself, then looked at the being's legs...

They were covered in the Super Inkredible Super Glue...

"Ha!" Inkman said, "It seems my impact with you must have made one of my reserves burst!" he informed, "Now you can never get out! Only the Inkman's Devastating Strength can break through that!" he cheered.

"HRAAAAAA!" the Metal Being groaned as he tried to free himself, causing the ground to shake as his efforts continued.

"Woah..." Inkman started to be moved by the tremors, then saw windows break and garbage cans topple.

"HRRRRR-"
CRACK! The Metal Being's armor snapped in two at the waist, the Super Glue was too much for it.

"Huh?" Inkman saw as the inside was exposed, a being of light was inside, "AH ha!" he cheered and pulled out a vacuum cleaner from his utility belt, "You really are a Phantom!" he said and sucked out the light being from inside.

"HRAHHHHHHH!" the being roared as he was being absorbed, then gave its last screams as it entered the vacuum cleaner.

"You just faced the cleaning power of the Inkman's Gale Vacuumer!" Inkman said as he picked up the dump canister and saw the light being swirl inside, "And so you won't hurt anymore people again!" he ran to the being's armor, placed the canister on the arm, then pulled back the arm like a catapult.

"HASTA LA VISTA!" our hero yelled and released the arm, launching the canister high and wide.

The canister escaped the Earth's atmosphere and then spiraled straight into the sun, where it landed with a nice fizzle.

"A job well done." Inkman dusted off his gloves, then saw the armor collapse and fall to the ground, releasing many white spheres into the sky.

Two of these spheres condensed in front of our hero, materializing into the apparitions of Volta and Chirpington.

"Volta!" Inkman gasped as he saw his cousin in front of him, "What... What happened..."

"There's more of them, Eli!" Ellie cried, "They all attacked me... I was trying to stop them from attacking Inkopolis... and this is what happened to me..." she muttered.

"Chirp Chirp..." Chirpington peeped, then pointed to the smoldering Fighting Falcon G2 on top of Inkopolis tower.

"They... killed you all... in cold blood?" Inkman muttered, "One of the worst evils ever to exist on this planet... and they did that..." he clenched his fists in anger.

"We tried to reason, but they didn't listen..." Volta spoke, "Eli... don't let them destroy Inkopolis! That's what they plan to do!" she cried.

"I... I won't." Inkman growled, then looked up to the sky, "Father, give me the strength." he muttered.

After that event, the ground started to shake, causing the two ghosts to start fading.

"Inkman, please, stop them... and... I'm sorry..." Ellie vanished, the white orb shot up to the heavens, as did Chirpington's.

"I will..." Inkman held back his tears, then turned abruptly when he heard a large droning noise from behind him.

Lo and Behold, a large bipedal mech appeared from the bottom of Inkopolis tower, armed to the teeth, as Inkman's scans revealed.

"At least the electricity is back..." Inkman muttered, then heard the commotion of armored vehicles roar in.

"Inkman!" some Civil Defenders appeared and aimed their weapons ahead, however, some where taken back by the machine's size.

"What in the world is that!?" a Civil Defender hid behind his riot shield.

"DROOOOOO!" the mech droned and launched its assault, instantly decimating half of the Civil Defenders with a huge blast of energy from a cannon on its back.

"WAH!" Inkman was blasted off by the force of the explosion, but caught the breeze and shot up.

"Inkman! I got you!" Lodestar returned, "Thank heavens...What happened!?" she asked frantically.

"I found out who killed Ellie..." Inkman gulped in pain, "And Chirpington... And they will Pay..." he clenched his fists and swooped down.

0000000

The mech was strong, but Inkman avoided the Gatling gun blasts of its turrets with great precision... and by great precision I mean by the skin of his teeth ¾ths of the time.

"Take this!" Inkman once again threw his Boom Boom sticks, which this time at least confused the foe into being startled, "JUSTICE KICK!" he dive kicked the mech... big mistake.

CRACK!

"AH!" Inkman yelped as he danced on top of the mech in pain, jumping on one leg while holding the other.

The mech spun around and knocked our hero clean off and sent him flying straight into Booyah Base.

"Fire!" the Civil Defense, though damaged beyond repair, continued their valiant (but vain) efforts to destroy the machine via Ink blasts.

DROOOOOO! The Machine droned and once again charged its cannon, only to be stunned again by Inkman's Boom Boom Sticks.

"Hyah!" Inkman appeared and landed on the mech, "Let's see what you're made of!" he started to punch the metal hull with his PEE enhanced arms, but only causing minor scratches.

"Droo!" the machine hissed and switched for quadrupedal locomotion, stunning both our hero and the Civil Defenders. A quick charge up of its cannon launched a blast that cut a clean avenue for its travel across the city.

"Woah!" Inkman stumbled as the mech lunged forward, then was launched to the head of the mech, which revealed a canopy.

The machine pummeled over Civil Defense armored cars and the police barricades before them, then crushed through building after building.

"Ha!" Inkman looked at the canopy, then punched the glass with all his might, causing it to crack.

"Huh?" a man yelled as he saw our Hero burst through, "HRAH! Get out of here!" he roared angrily and pulled out a pistol, then fired back at him.

"Woah!" Inkman yelped as a bullet screamed past his face, "Get! Out! Evil Doer!" he grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him out.

"ARGH!" the man yelled as he landed on the Mech's surface, "Why you!" he pulled out another pistol and started to fire again.

"DWAH!" Inkman was struck and sent flying back into the canopy.

"Hehehehe." the man laughed, "You shouldn't have messed with- AGH!" he stepped back when Inkman jump kicked him. "You... shouldn't... make me angry!" he roared and gained a black and red aura, then acquired a machine gun from thin air.

"I don't think I like things-ex nihilo." Inkman muttered, then ran around his foe as he fired his machine gun.

"DIEE!" the man roared as he tried to shoot Inkman, "WHY DON'T YOU DIE!" he aimed a bit ahead.

"Uh oh!" Inkman foresaw this and sprung up, "Ah ha! I can see the f- DWAH!" he crashed into something hard.

"Hehehehhehe..." the man laughed as Inkman fell back on the mech, "No place to go now..." he aimed his machine gun at him.

"Argh..." Inkman groaned as he rubbed his head, "Oh yeah?" he turned around, only to see an Octoling with a sub-machine gun closing in on him.

"I have him covered, sweets..." the octoling said.

Above our hero, a large hovering robot played a sweet song, such a sweet song that it reminded our hero of a lullaby.

"Huah..." Inkman yawned, "Wow... this is... something else..." he sat down and started to sleep.

"No rest for you!" the man roared and blasted Inkman with his machine gun, plowing our hero back into the cockpit.

"Ah..." Inkman groaned as he saw holes cover him, making him look like a slice of Swiss cheese, "Oww..." he groaned.

"You shouldn't have gotten me mad." the man came up to our downed friend, the hovering robot and the Octoling covering him. The man then raised his pistol and aimed it at Inkman's head, "The name's Derik." he reached for the trigger.

"WAH!" Inkman flinched, striking a red lever on the side, which made the cockpit eject.

"Huh!?" the man and the octoling saw the piece of the mech fly off.

"Dammit! I knew we should have kept it AI controlled!" the man growled as he fired on the capsule.

TLING! TLING TLING! Inkman heard the bullets ricochet off of the chassis, then grunted when the capsule landed.

The flying singing robot fired devastating round into the cockpit, causing it to explode and launch Inkman under the large mech.

"Where'd he go!?" the man growled, then looked up to the flying robot, "Chrysalis! Find him!" he ordered, and the robot scanned the area.

Inkman, under the mech, pulled out a large dynamite stick the size of a log.

"Take this! Inkman's Super Kaboomer Blaster Master Bomb!" our hero stuck it with the Inkredible Super Glue and ran for cover, the Chrysalis catching him in the act.

"DRROOOO!" the robot fired its guns at our hero, staying above the large mech for safety.

"Yeah!" Derik grinned, "Die! Look Jackie! TH-"

KAAAAAPOOOOOOMMMMMM!
The Blaster Master Bomb exploded, launching the mech up into the sky, subsequently hitting the Chrysalis on its way as it blasted off.

ERROR: IRREPERABLE HULL DAMAGE
COMMENCING EMERGENCY SELF-DESTRUCT

The Machine droned, then it started to blare.

"NOOOOOO!" the man and the octoling screamed.

SHINN! POOOOMMMMMMM! The thermonuclear hydrogen warhead aboard the machine exploded high in the sky, causing a momentary blinding flash.

0000000

"Ha... Ha..." Inkman panted as he emerged from a potted plant, then saw a smoldering piece of metal lay in front of him.

"Inkman... I have cataloged these new machines into your database." Lodestar spoke, "It seems the flying one has been identified by the now deceased 'Derik' as the Chrysalis..."

"And according to this burnt slab of steel, the land one was called a 'Peace Walker'..." Inkman muttered as he saw the writing, "If only they had stopped."

"It was self defense, Inkman." Lodestar told him, "You were trying to stop them... There was no other way- you saved a lot of people..."

"That is my duty, to stop evil." Inkman muttered, then turned to see a group standing behind him.

"So its you who is standing against us?" an Inkling with golden colored hair walked up, "You're the one opposing our protection of Inkopolis..."

"I protect Inkopolis..." Inkman told them, "I know not who you are... If you are the ones causing all this destruction... cease at once." he warned them.

"You are the one doing this!" a light colored Inkling woman came up, her hair crackling in electrified anger.

"You killed civilians..." Inkman growled, "I... Inkman... Will stop you..." he clenched his fists.

"I guess we have no choice..." two Inklings walked up, "We'll have to end you now..."

"We are... the Shared Universe..."

"And I... Am... The Inkman... You killed innocent people... Prepare to face the judgement..."
