Chapter-01: A New Evil & a New Hope
Elsewhere, in East-Citadel (where High-Roller used to rule), things are very different. Where a old Chinese style throne room once was, where is now a strange otherworldly lab, complete with bio-techno machinery. In the middle of this weird place is a throne that looks like a giant spider, and sitting on the throne was a mysterious figure.
He had a jet-black insect-like exoskeleton, two tall shoulder plates, a lizard-like head and wore a black leather biker-style jacket and pants. This is Destruction, leader of the Shadowkan-Empire (a group of demon-like mutants), and he was monitoring the battle between Second Squad and his minions.
"Hum, not as good as First Squad, but not bad. It's a good thing I ordered the Giborbas to return to base, I wouldn't have got all this interesting data" Said Destruction. Yes, this guy was the evil mastermind who sent the Raptors and the Giborbas worm.
"That High-Roller was a total idiot, using stupid animals and magic to fight this Big-Green group, While I have more….. reliable minions" Destruction said as a pack of Raptors and three new mutants entered the room.
These three mutants were completely strange looking. One looked like a giant caterpillar with spindly insect-legs, another was like a bizarre-looking moth/leaf-insect armed with a sword and the last one was like a hybrid of dragonfly, and mantis.
"Capilla. Ruthless. Yamma. I have a little job for you boys," growled Destruction. "You are to attack a human village, with a pack of Raptors at your side. This data shows that whenever a human village is attacked, Big Green always seems to come to the rescue... And when they do show up, kill them all!"
"Yes, sir," said Capilla, his spindly legs making him tower over his two cohorts.
"We will not fail you, sir," growled Ruthless, drawing his sword and spreading his moth-like wings.
"You can count on us!" piped up Yamma, clacking his bladed arms together in excitement.
They then teleported away.
"Let's see how they handle this" chuckled Destruction as he broke into fiendish laughter, as if killing innocents was a big joke.
Meanwhile, at Big-Green, Second Squad was waiting for the new recruits while given their battle report to Commander ApeTrully.
"Monsters! This is very upsetting news, and from you said Alpha-Girl, High-Roller might NOT be behind this since he went into hiding" said a worried ApeTrully.
"That's what happened Commander" said Archer.
"Well then, I'll look into this right away" said ApeTrully.
Then, Rosefinch came in, along with four kids. One was a boy who wore yellow and had wild looking orange hair, another boy wore white/red and had spiky-looking hair, another was a girl who wore purple/blue and had blonde hair and the last one was a girl who wore green and had dark-skin and black hair.
"Hi Rosefinch" said Alpha-Girl.
"Hey Alpha-Girl. Commander ApeTrully allowing to introduce you to Paco, Serio, Azul & Pilar, a group of young heroes called the "Combo-Ninos". said Rosefinch as she introduced the Combo Ninos.
"Awwww, you four look so adorable " ApeTrully said seeing just how cute these newbie's were.
"It's a pleasure to meet you sir, our mentor Grinto said you were nice to work for" replied Azul (the girl in purple/blue).
"Charmed, this is Kowloon, Golden-Eye Husky, Archer & his brother Hurricane and this is the leader, Alpha-Girl. Together they are Second Squad, and they be showing you around the base" ApeTrully said as introduced the Ninos to Alpha-Girl and her squad.
"So, you're the new guys, so what can you guys do?" asked Husky.
"Oh, we can do a lot of things, like kick monster butt" said Serio (the boy in yellow).
"So, you two are brothers, WOW!" said a curious Pilar (the girl in green) to Hurricane & Archer.
"No offence, but you're a weird looking bunch" said Paco (the boy in white/red).
"No offence taken" said Kowloon.
"Well then, shall we get the tour started" said Rosefinch, just when the Tank Commander came running to ApeTrully.
"Commander! We've got trouble! A group of monsters are attacking a small village" said a tired Tank Commander.
"Oh my heavens! Sorry kids, looks like the tour's is going to have the wait. Second Squad, go to that village and see what you can do to stop this attack" ordered ApeTrully.
"Yes Sir" Second Squad replied.
"Wait, We're coming too" said Azul.
"Are you sure? You guys are still new, and missions are dangerous for rookies" said a worried Rosefinch.
"Don't worry Rosefinch, we deal with monsters all the time by home in Nova Nizza" boasted Serio.
"He's right Rosefinch. Ok kids, you can go with Second Squad to protect those villagers, but be careful as well ok" replied ApeTrully.
"Well, in that case, I am coming too, you guys need all the help you can get" said Rosefinch.
"Your coming too? That's great!" said a oddly happy Alpha-Girl.
"Um, thanks" said a confused Rosefinch.
"All right guys! Let's kick some monster butt" said Pilar all excited as all 10 heroes ran off to save the villagers from the invaders.
"Good luck everyone, and be careful" yelled ApeTrully.
But our young heroes have no idea what they were up against. They will not be fighting animals, our Divinos, but powerful mutants sent by the evil Destruction himself. Second Squad also doe's not know, that in this battle, they will lose one of their own.
Will our heroes save the villagers from the monsters Destruction sent to cause chaos? And who will die in this epic first battle against this mysterious new enemy. Find out in the next exciting chapter of Combo Ninos-108.
