Yo, everyone! This next chapter of Mark's tale should be a true mind-blower, and if it didn't, you might want to read it again! And, can you find the reference to an awesome mind-bending game?
Mark quickly ran for the doors of Dexlabs, which were covered in Fusion Matter. On further inspection, Mark noticed that the doors had been sealed by solidified Fusion Matter too. Mark then attempted to destroy the Fusion Matter with his Lightning Gun, but that didn't work, either.
"Allow me," Bubbles said, as her eyes began to glow bright blue. Mark immediately knew what she was going to do, as he had seen her doing it before, when watching the Powerpuff Girls battle villains from the sidelines. Suddenly, bright blue lasers shot out of her eyes, immediately turning two of the metallic doors into a big puddle of liquid metal and Fusion Matter in a matter of seconds.
"OK, that works," Mark said, as he ran into the infected lobby room, following by Numbuh One and the KND agents. As Mark guessed, Dexlabs was riddled with Fusion Spawns, who were almost instantly alerted to the presence of the group. Mark blasted one Fusion Spawn with his Lightning Gun, which shocked it and sent it fleeing into a small hole in the wall. As for getting through the rest of Dexlabs Mark had a familiar understanding of how to get through some of Dexlabs, since it seemed to him that he had only been there a half-hour ago. He knew they had to go in the waiting room, but after that, when he was being led to the main room, he wasn't paying much attention.
"Into the waiting room!" Mark said, as he quickly jumped over a puddle of Fusion Matter. Upon entering, he looked around, trying to locate that hidden wall Dexter had come out of before. But apparently his efforts were unnecessary, because that panel had been ripped out of the wall, and thrown to the other side of the room.
"Dexter's down there," Mark said, as he looked down the passageway. It was completely wrecked, compared to when he was there before. He could see ruins of inventions scattered everywhere, and there was barely any light other than flickering light strips in the ceiling. There were even claw marks in the walls!
"They've been here," Numbuh One said, as alarms went off. The squadron then entered and continued through the seemingly endless hallways (killing some Cyberus or Fusion Spawns in the process) before somebody finally had the nerve to say,
"I think we're lost."
Suddenly, what sounded like a giant chunk of rock being ripped away from the ground occurred. Mark didn't know what that was, but what Mark heard after that sounded like metal bending, snapping, and crashing into the Fusion ocean. Mark then turned his sights to Bubbles, and said, "You have X-ray vision, right?"
"Why, of course, silly!" Bubbles said before slightly giggling. Soon after, her eyes glowed bright blue, but no lasers came out.
"I'm picking up a life-form besides you guys over there," she said, pointing at the wall to Mark's left after scoping out the lab. "I don't know if it's Fusion Buttercup or Dexter."
"Well, he might be that way," Mark said, as he heard a small explosion near the doorways of Dexlabs, followed by metal clanks. He looked down toward a large circular hallway that seemed different from the other hallways. "This way looks familiar to me. And that must be a good thing!"
As Mark and the others ran down the circular hallway, they saw a holographic map that momentarily shorted out every few seconds. According to the map, the circular hallway lead directly to the vault door leading to the main room. As the group continued down the small circular hallway, Mark could hear something, a sound that got louder as they approached the vault. The hum of a containment field.
"Warning! Core Corruption Levels at 50%!" Mark heard a robotic voice which didn't sound like Computress say. When the group got to the vault door, they quickly noticed that it had a massive Buttercup-shaped hole in it. Mark quickly reloaded his Lightning Gun before stepping in, and the first thing he noticed about the room that was different was that the entire back wall had been ripped out, and a view of infinite green sea and sky took its place. Mark could tell it had recently occurred because of the sounds he had heard before. Then Mark saw Dexter sitting in a yellow plasma containment sphere, hooked up to a control panel. Since Fusion Buttercup did not seem to be in the room, Mark and the others ran down to Dexter.
"It is you! I knew we would meet again!" Dexter said, noticing Mark in the group. "And you managed to get time warped here, all because of my stupid sister, who missed up the time jump sequence." Dexter continued to faintly mumble, "Of all the times you could have warped here, it had to be here-"
Mark deactivated the control panel, causing the containment field to slowly hover downward, before disappearing entirely.
Mark said to Dexter, "At least I got here in time to save you!"
Suddenly, a distorted Buttercup-sounding laugh emerged from the doorway before it spoke, "You just walked right into my trap..."
Before Mark could even turn around, he suddenly felt himself being lifted off the ground by something extremely strong. Once he managed to focus on whatever was holding him, he saw Buttercup. But... she was different. She was bigger in size, her skin was a very bubbly light green, her normal attire was completely black, and her eyes were glowing red. She was, without a doubt, Fusion Buttercup.
Quickly after Fusion Buttercup grabbed Mark, she threw him into the back wall. However, Mark oddly felt very little pain. When he looked at Fusion Buttercup, she turned around and said, "Who's next?"
All the KND agents in the room instantly blasted at Fusion Buttercup, but they didn't do a thing to her, other than making her angrier. Fusion Buttercup merely blasted them into the ceiling, before Bubbles flew at Fusion Buttercup and charged at her. While Fusion Buttercup resisted to be sent flying, Bubbles attacked at full speed, causing an explosion which blew up some of the floor, and caused even more alarms to go off.
Fusion Buttercup flew throughout the place, destroying anything in her path. "Even if you defeat me, Tech Square will still go down, so stop wasting your time!"
Numbuh One quickly snatched a high-powered laser gun from a nearby weapons storage unit, and fired at Fusion Buttercup, actually causing some damage.
"YOU DARE OPPOSE ME!" Fusion Buttercup said, before charging him, through the wall, through the ground, and outward into the sea of Fusion Matter.
"NUMBUH ONE! NO!" Bubbles said before charging Fusion Buttercup again, only to greeted by a Fusion fist. Bubbles flew into the wall, and after that, Fusion Buttercup easily wiped out the remaining KND agents. Then she walked over to a control panel.
"Now let's fix this," Fusion Buttercup said. She pressed a few buttons, including a big green one, causing containment fields to surround Bubbles and Dexter again. Bubbles tried to burst herself out, but she was just knocked back into the other side of the forcefield. But Fusion Buttercup knew she wasn't done yet, so she turned around to see Mark, still lying on the ground after being thrown into the wall.
"And now to deal with you," Fusion Buttercup said, punching her left hand with her right fist with an evil grin on her face. "The kid who doesn't know anything about us."
"I know enough about you to make me hate you," Mark said, pointing his Lightning Gun at Fusion Buttercup. Even when he fired it, the blaster shot did nothing but amuse her.
"Seriously?" Fusion Buttercup said, nearly cracking up with laughter. "I'm a freakin' Fusion Powerpuff! You seriously think you can do something like that to ME?"
"I might not be able to do anything to you, but I can do this!" Mark said before tilting his gun to aim at the control panel.
"DON'T YOU DARE-"
But it was too late. The gun had already fired its shot of plasma. In mere milliseconds, the control panel began to go haywire, and then it exploded. As the containment fields slowly sank toward the ground, Fusion Buttercup instantly picked up Mark and pinned him against the wall.
"You will pay for that... with your life!" Fusion Buttercup yelled as she raised her left fist. Right before she was about to punch Mark, she suddenly screamed, and dropped Mark to the floor. Dexter had apparently struck her with some sort of gigantic electric handheld claw.
"Mark," Dexter said, as Fusion Buttercup charged Bubbles into the wall, only to be pushed back into the other wall. "There's a lever over there that'll put an impenetrable containment field around her, but she needs to be-"
More alarms suddenly began to go off, along with the same robotic voice saying, "Warning! Core Corruption Levels at 75%! All energy must be diverted to fix the reactor! If anything other than reactor maintenance is powered up, the reactor will overheat!"
"Uh-oh!" Bubbles said.
Fusion Buttercup quickly grinned, before saying, "Go on, continue fighting me. All I'm doing is stalling you!" She charged Bubbles onto the floor, but Dexter attacked her with his electric claw, causing her to become stunned. Mark looked down at the floor, noticing that there was a circle that said "Impenetrable Containment Location", that Fusion Buttercup was directly hovering over. Mark instantly knew what to do, and turned to his left. There was a lever that had a label above it, saying:
IMPENETRABLE CONTAINMENT ACCESS LEVER: DO NOT USE UNLESS IN A TOTAL EMERGENCY
Mark instantly ran over to the lever, and managed to pull it just as Fusion Buttercup managed to get back to her senses. Suddenly, two spinning giant pieces of glass appeared and surrounded Fusion Buttercup in a seemingly reversed hourglass shape.
"WHAT THE HECK?" Fusion Buttercup said, before attempting to pound on it, but to no avail.
"Mark!" Dexter said quickly. "Now, flip the electrocution lever!" Mark quickly looked around the room, and noticed that there was another lever similar to the previous one that was right next to the containment lever.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Fusion Buttercup yelled. But Mark still pulled the lever, and water began to pour into the containment field.
"NO! NO! NO!" Suddenly a metal wire in the ceiling began to spark, and everything in the containment field started getting electrocuted, including Fusion Buttercup, who was shrieking due to being exposed to 100,000,000 volts. When the water drained and the containment field left, Fusion Buttercup slowly fell to the floor as a big puddle of Fusion Matter. The last thing she said was, "Tech Square will fall..."
"That reminds me!" Dexter stated as he ran to Mark. "Can you give me your NanoCom for a second?"
"Wait," Mark said, as he looked at his communicator. "This is a NanoCom?"
"Not yet, but can I have it for a second?" Dexter asked.
"Uh..I guess," Mark said as he handed it to Dexter. When Dexter took out his own, it sent a beam of light from his NanoCom micro-transmitters into Mark's, causing Mark's NanoCom to change color from red to white.
"What are you doing?" Mark asked.
"Oh, the type of communicator I gave you were reworked into the NanoCom during the war. This is the full-" Suddenly, Mark's NanoCom began to beep rapidly. He looked at it and saw this text among the NanoCom's bright blue screen:
SPECIAL FUSION MATTER IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO NANOCOM
NANO CREATION POSSIBLE
SYNTHESIZE NANO?
YES/NO
Mark, unsure of what that meant, clicked "YES" on the NanoCom. A few seconds after doing so, a beam of light flew into the Fusion Matter, causing it to rise into a floating sphere, along with this small bit of cloth left over from Fusion Buttercup's jacket. The Fusion Matter began to then wrap itself around the cloth, and the sphere began to glow bright white, before glowing red. It also began to pulse rings of energy and bursts of light. Suddenly, the Fusion Matter began to take a shape and then a noise came from it.
"BUTTERCUP! YEAH! POWERPUFF GIRLS RULE!" the noise said. After the flashes of light faded, Mark saw what the NanoCom had done. It apparently had created what Buttercup looked like when she was first created, even though she looked much smaller and more cartoonish. Even though Mark didn't say anything, Dexter did notice his confusion, and began explaining it to him.
"Oh yes, let me explain what just happened," Dexter said, "Mark, that is a Nano. Just like Fusions, Nanos are made of Fusion Matter, but these are made differently from Fusions. The Fusion Matter that was once Fusion Buttercup has been used to create this Buttercup Nano. Just remember, Mark, this Nano is not to be underestimated. Even though she is small, she's just as powerful as the original Butterc-"
Suddenly they heard a shriek, but it had came from Bubbles.
"IT'S SO CUTE!" Bubbles said. Apparently she was hugging the Buttercup nano extremely tight, but the Nano just flew out of her grasp anyway.
"Sup?" Nano Buttercup said as she approached Mark.
"...Hey!" Mark responded before the Nano and Mark high-fived. A few seconds later, a major tremor occurred.
"Uh, oh!" Mark said, before pressing a button that said, "CALL BACK NANO". Suddenly a beam of light began to hit the Nano.
"But I was just getting sta-" The Buttercup nano said before it turned into red light and was reabsorbed into the NanoCom.
The strange robotic voice talked again, as the alarm system shut down, "WARNING! CORE CORRUPTION AT 100%!" before saying a few seconds later, "WARNING! CORE OVERHEATING! NUCLEAR MELTDOWN IMMINENT!"
"WHOA! That does not sound good!" Dexter said, "Hurry, get out! This whole place is about to blow!"
As Bubbles flew out and the few remaining KND agents ran up the ramp, Mark said, "What about you?"
Dexter looked back at the sea of Fusion Matter, noticing it had risen a couple feet, before saying, "Fusion Buttercup has obviously tampered with the reactor. There's no way it can shut down now. She destroyed all of the manual controls and everything else controlling the reactor. Its only fate is to explode with the force of at least 2 megatons. The blast radius and the radiation won't hit any of our other bases, thankfully, but it will absolutely destroy everything that was Tech Square."
"Well, let's get out then!" Mark said, and he and Dexter quickly ran out of the main room and out of Dexlabs, guided by Dexter's knowledge of where to go. When they got out of Dexlabs, they saw that a big battle was happening. Many of the heroes and KND squads were fighting against a massive army of Cyberus, Fusion Spawns and Tech Wings. But Mark saw someone else within the army, someone that looked like Dexter, except his skin was green, he had glowing red eyes, and his white lab coat was dark red. Mark instantly knew they had another Fusion in their midst: Fusion Dexter.
"We've got another Fusion!" Ben said, back in Swampfire form.
"I know!" Blossom said. "But we can't deal with the Fusion and the monsters at once!"
"Just let me kill them all!" Buttercup said.
"Buttercup, don't-" Blossom tried to say, but Buttercup flew off anyway. Her arms began to spin in different directions, causing green tornados to come out of her arms, and after Buttercup swung her arms at the army, the gigantic green tornadoes sucked up most of the Fusion army into the air. But Fusion Dexter remained on the ground. After the tornadoes cleared, only a little portion of the Fusion army remained, before the Fusion monsters rained down onto the ground.
Ben slammed on the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, and after a flash of green light, he became a new type of creature. This creature seemed to have a color scheme of jet black and orange-yellow, where orange-yellow covered his pillar-like shoulders, chest, hands and feet. The most interesting part about this new alien was that his metallic gray head was detached from the rest of his body, yet was still connected to it via powerful magnetism.
"LODESTAR!" Ben said as he raised his claw-like hands. Mark could see transparent rings of magnetic energy emanating from his hands, which caused Fusion Dexter, still holding onto his metallic handheld claw, to fly toward him. But Fusion Dexter let go of his handheld claw, and pulled out a non-metallic laser pistol.
"Dexter! We have to get out of here! This whole place is going to blow!" Mark said, edging to get far away from Tech Square.
"We can't get away without stopping my Fusion counterpart!" Dexter said. "If we try to escape, he'll just take us down!"
"OK, but we'll have to stop him quick!" Mark said as he turned his attention back to the battle. Now, Fusion Dexter had seemed to be have set his handheld claw to a new mode that looked non-magnetic. Since Fusion Dexter was using non-magnetic devices, Ben could not do anything to Fusion Dexter in Lodestar form, so he quickly attempted to change his form, but for some reason, he couldn't. Apparently, Fusion Dexter's handheld claw had a type of magnet in its controller, which prevented Ben from changing his alien form, before forcing Ben to change himself back to human form. As he walked slowly to Ben, who could not do anything, Mark and a bunch of KND agents, including Numbuh Two, instantly opened fire on Fusion Dexter, but somehow, Fusion Dexter remained unaffected. Fusion Dexter then brought out a strange red device, and attached it to Ben's Ultimatrix, causing it to spark and glow red, before falling off and bursting into flames on the ground.
"Prepare to die, Ben Tennyson!" Fusion Dexter said before throwing smoke grenades all around him, completely making the agents unable to see what he was doing. After screams of mercy, a quick snapping sound, and a splashing noise, the smoke cleared... and Ben was gone.
"NO!" Blossom screamed as Buttercup flew at Fusion Dexter, but Fusion Dexter merely took out his handheld claw and slammed Buttercup in the face at mind-blowing speed, sending her flying into a SCAMPER. Fusion Dexter then quickly took out an electrical net and threw it at Buttercup as she crashed, causing her to get tangled in the net. When Buttercup tried to break the net, the net didn't even suffer a scratch, and it attacked back by shocking her over and over again.
"Blossom, what are we going to do?" Bubbles said, thinking hopes were dying.
Blossom realized there was no choice. "I... don't know. Everything we've done against him so far has been useless. I can only come up with a few more options. One could be.. no, using ice won't work." Suddenly Blossom's expression changed to slight sadness. "Well, there's another option. Maybe if we get him somehow into the nuclear core, and distract him, while you speed up its course to explode..."
"Blossom... you don't mean-"
"Exactly, it's the only way... If all Powerpuff Girls die, no hope will remain for Arkadex. Some sacrifices will be necessary to win... we might not even have to die... let's just hope he doesn't have Antidote X in his arsenal..."
Bubbles sadly nodded, and she looked over at Fusion Dexter, who was walking toward the real Dexter. Mark quickly blasted at Fusion Dexter, even though nothing happened. Fusion Dexter then continued to pin Dexter to the wall via his own metallic claw.
"What a fool you are," Fusion Dexter said as he prepared a special laser pistol from his pocket. "For my human counterpart..."
Suddenly a pink streak of light crossed Dexter's vision, meaning Blossom had charged Fusion Dexter. At that moment, Fusion Dexter's pistol malfunctioned and fired a laser prematurely, causing it to cut through a huge containment sphere as it flew through the air, causing it to collapse on Dexter, surrounding him. But thankfully there was a secret panel in the wall where Dexter was, so he entered it.
Meanwhile, Fusion Dexter quickly looked around and slammed his own metallic claw straight at Bubbles, causing her to fly straight into the Dexlabs building. Blossom also charged Fusion Dexter, and just barely missed Fusion Dexter's metallic claw. Once managing to get a hold of him, she spun him around and sent him flying into the ground. Mark, who was watching the spectacle, thought he should help in one way or another, but at the same time, he knew that this was Bubbles and Blossom's fight. So he watched as Blossom blasted Fusion Dexter into the Dexlabs lobby.
As the battle with the Fusion army and the KND squads came to a halt, both sides looked into the lobby to see what was going on. What they could see was a battle occurring inside the lobby of Dexlabs, which was really hard to focus on. Blossom, Bubbles and Fusion Dexter were constantly being thrown around by one of the other two. The fight lasted for many minutes, and eventually, the punches, kicks and laser blasts began to occur more frequently, because Blossom, Bubbles and Fusion Dexter were flying all over the place. After they flew straight through the walls and into the nuclear core room, both sides could not see what was going on, so they started battling again.
Meanwhile, Buttercup, not knowing what at all was going on while being shocked by the electrical net, was carried into a nearby landing SCAMPER by KND agents holding non-conductive gloves and armor. As it took off, Mark wondered whether or not they should attempt to bail out in another SCAMPER right now. But that thought was immediately confirmed when Mark heard a massive explosion. Not from the nuclear core, but from the top of Dexlabs.
When Mark looked up, he suddenly saw that the house at the top of Dexlabs had exploded in a massive fireball. Mark quickly ran for cover from the falling pieces of wood, shrapnel and metal and went under a large metal pipe coming out of Dexlabs into the ground. Numbuh Two was also there.
"THE REACTOR IS GOING TO EXPLODE ANY MINUTE NOW!" Mark said.
Numbuh Two disagreed, however, because he said, "But those Fusion Monsters are just going to attack our SCAMPERs! We can't get out until we've defeated them! We have to wait!"
Mark immediately got angry, and he yelled without thinking, "SCREW WAITING! I DON'T WANT EVERYONE TO DIE IN A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION BECAUSE WE HAD TO 'WAIT'!" When Mark came back to his senses, he looked away and at the battle scene. "Sorry... I just... don't want to die because of something like that..."
At that instant, Numbuh Two understood what Mark meant. He pulled out his communicator, and said, "Computress? Send down SCAMPERs now! Get us out of here!"
Not that long after, a group of six or seven SCAMPERs began to land on the ground. The second they landed, everyone cluttered onto the SCAMPERs, firing at the monsters as they boarded. They then quickly took off toward the warship, which was currently blasting at every Fusion Monster it could hit. As the SCAMPERs landed, Numbuh Five, who was also on the same SCAMPER as Mark, instantly talked into her communicator, "Computress! Set up nuclear protection shields NOW!"
Not soon after, a gigantic blue version of the containment fields Mark saw in Dexlabs surrounded the ship. As the ship slowly sped away from Dexlabs, everyone got out of the crowded SCAMPERs. As the people spread out all over the ship, Mark looked around and he could see some stacks of gray boxes in some places. Mark also saw many Tech Wings banging against the shield, just to be incinerated by the laser cannons from the ship, and saw a couple of dead Fusion Monsters on the ship. Mark assumed those were there because some of the monsters had made it through, and they were wiped out by the KND agents.
Mark looked over at Buttercup, who was still trapped in that electric net, thrashing about on top of one of the crates, and multiple KND agents were trying to find a way to break the net, but obviously failing. Mark decided that, for the moment, he would watch Tech Square's remains disappear under the horizon, if it didn't fall into the sea first.
Meanwhile, Buttercup heard a voice in her mind, which sounded a lot like Blossom's voice. Buttercup first thought that she was hallucinating, but then thought that Blossom was using telepathy, which Buttercup never knew she had. In fact, it was the first and last time she would ever use it. Buttercup heard this in her mind:
"Buttercup, even though you don't know what is happening... I won't be with you anymore..."
Buttercup instantly realized what was happening. Blossom was going to die!
"Once Tech Square falls... you will be the only... remaining Powerpuff Girl on Arkadex. If you die, the world is doomed...
Buttercup couldn't believe it. Both of her sisters were going to die! She tried to communicate with Blossom in her mind while screaming, "No, please, don't die, Blossom and Bubbles! Don't do this!"
"It's too late, Buttercup. It's already in motion. Listen... you have to live. Do not fail my last wish... Make us proud to have been your sisters, Buttercup... Goodbye..."
"NO! NO! NO! YOU CAN'T DIE NOW!" Buttercup yelled, as the electrical net began to suddenly break apart. Once Mark could see Buttercup clearly, the first thing he saw was... tears. A sea of tears... literally. There was a waterfall going off of the side of the ship, only to be incinerated by the force field. Mark had never seen Buttercup cry this much before. In fact, he never had seen her cry at ALL. But Mark felt the same feeling of sadness. He had known and made friends with Blossom and Bubbles ever since they were first public heroes, and to have them be left behind, to die... it was very painful to think about. Mark realized that many people were walking into a doorway, so he decided to follow them.
Before he entered the doorway, he looked behind himself to see Buttercup walking toward the edge of the ship, staring at the blip that the remains of Tech Square now were. After staring at it for 5 seconds, she fell to her knees, and let out an ear-splitting scream.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Thankfully, Mark had covered his ears before the scream had occurred. He quickly got onto the platform with the other people, which floated up to a big room, which Mark assumed to be the ship's main control center. And it was.
Some of the other important people walked into the main control center of the gigantic ship. Its interior was dark blue, and had a squashed-circle-like interior. There were glass windows facing the seas of green, and Dexbots were controlling the ship, making it fly away from Tech Square. There were many control panels along the walls, and there was also a blue device in the center. Mark could see Numbuh Two walking over to this device, and suddenly, blue flashes could be seen above the device.
"Guys, we're getting a holographic transmission!" Numbuh Two said. "It's from Dexter!" After Numbuh Two said that, almost everyone on the deck of the ship instantly walked over to the circular device. The blue flashes above the device then quickly turned into the shape of Dexter.
This transmission said, "Everyone, despite our best efforts, Tech Square has been lost. We have lost many heroes, but the war is not over, not by a long shot! I am sorry, but I cannot join you. Although I would love to, it is now impossible."
"Warning! This facility will self-destruct in two minutes," the robotic voice on Dexter's end interrupted. Dexter sighed and continued,
"But we have hope for Arkadex. On this ship is a boy named Mark. He is the kid that participated in my time travel experiment, which had ended in chaos."
Many people looked at Mark, who felt slightly nervous now. Dexter continued on, "And I never thought I would say this, but... I want you to help Mandark rebuild my time capsule, in order to send this kid back to the past. He is our only hope to save Arkadex. Don't worry about me, though. I will be fine. There's an escape pod in the remaining bit of Dexlabs. I will take it into space to find refuge on a safe planet far from here, but I do not want you to retrieve me. Just get to Sector V and to safety. Dexter out."
As the blue hologram faded away, everyone seemed to fall for Dexter's lie, including Mark. Meanwhile, Dexter, who had found himself in the main room again, ripped out his communicator, and crushed it in his purple glove. As small computer chips inside the communicator began to fall onto the metal floor, he pressed his finger on a yellow button on another control panel that said, "LAUNCH ESCAPE POD".
"Warning! Reactor Core is at critical temp-" The robotic voice finally shorted out for the final time, and a glow began to emanate from the entrance of the room. Dexter sat down to look out at the ocean of green again, with a smile on his face. The glow behind Dexter began to glow brighter and brighter, and eventually it got so bright that Dexter's vision was nothing but pure brightness. Before the reactor core completely exploded, Dexter spoke his final words,
"Go get em', Mark..."
Uh-oh...
