Chapter 07: Black & White, & Red ALL Over!?
LOCATION: KANEKO TOWER
The scene opens around KaneKo Tower, where something was occurring at this very moment. We spot Kane viewing a holographic screen, showing readouts & yellow
"Ha-Ha! Tooley, this is it!" Kane smiled in sounding quite pleased.
"What's it Mister Kane?" Tooley asked what has his boss so happy.
"The moment to seize the prizes that are just BEGGING me to come acquire them!" Kane exclaimed forth in knowing what it is that he needs is right for the picking.
"Oh, what's that?" Tooley asked off puzzled in not following.
"Those glowing energy sources…Chilton has helped done all the work for me. Now it's time to pick the fruit from the tree." Kane explained that the plan to allow his enemy to do the dirty work, has done well for him.
"But…how you gonna do that?" Tooley asked in pondering how his boss can do this.
"What I always do, send down just about anything I have, & pluck the goods under the Burners noises." Kane smiled eagerly in stating this matter
"Yeah, we'll gett'em this time…won't we?" Tooley cheered cluelessly in stating they will win this time.
"Oh we will Tooley, because this time…I'm showing my ace." Kane stated in about to reveal his ace to be played forth.
"Your ace….are we playing cards Mister Kane?" Tooley asked lost in what his boss was trying to say.
"No you fool, I mean my ace in the hole." Kane remotely stated in what he was actually referring to.
"Um…" Tooley replied off a bit lost, but believed to have understood enough.
"Hugh….just get ready, when Mike Chilton realizes what's happening, it'll be all too late." Kane signed to ignore Tooley before focusing on what he has plans.
Soon nearby, a shadowy figure was seen nearby in watching Kane have his moment, this enemy…grip his fist as if having waited for this….
LOCATION: BURNER GARAGE
Scene shifts around the Burners Garage, where Mike's group; Texas, Julie, Dutch & Jacob were around. There was Chuck seen coming in to meet up with the others that saw him coming in.
"Hey Chuck, how's everything going?" Mike asked the man in how things are going from his side.
"Not well, man even if we a have all the pieces, it's useless if we can't figure out the puzzle." Chuck shrug off to say this with a bit of disappointment in his tone.
"What do you mean?" Julie asked in wondering what Chuck meant.
"Hudson has ran a lot of test on the three different energy frequencies, but how they can help anything travel from one place to another is like out of some science fiction story?" Chuck shrug off in stating that they haven't figured out a way to use the weird energy from the journals to help send their friends home.
"And this is coming from a guy that does LARPing?" Julie raised an eyebrow to make a comment about a different factor in the discussion.
"Okay, fair point. But this is serious, we're stump?" Chuck commented right back while making his claim stand firmly.
"Well then what Texas suggest is you get Un-Stuck, right?" Texas pointed off in giving a simple answer if it can be done.
"The main problem is what to do afterwards. Just one of those energy glowing journals can cause trouble, but all three would spell a disaster." Jacob rubs his chin in knowing the journals have so much limitless energy, all three are a potential danger if fallen in the wrong hands.
"Then we better work fast, where are Dipper & the others?" Mike stated to say before noticing a few faces, not present after Chuck came to find them.
"Still at Hudson's place I'll bet, trying to do whatever can help. That Dipper kid is determine for his age, reminds me much of someone else here?" Jacob commented to say where the others are, & how much Dipper's determination & sheer will…reminds him much about when he meant Mike Chilton.
Suddenly, red siren lights go off that causes those to be alarm. Chuck opens his screen with his hands to type to get a vid-image screen showing him, what's happening.
"Uh-oh guys, we got a problem!" Chuck yelps in having checked to discover something is up.
"Wha, them mutate rats scuffling our garbage again?" Texas asked in thinking that was the big emergency.
"No! Kane's just sent down a LOT of bots & begun to attack Motorcity." Chuck stated in what the real emergency was, Kane's attacking.
"How many?" Dutch asked in wondering the number of attackers.
"A LOT! A Ridiculously a LOT!" Chuck exclaimed from almost hyperventilating on the large number scale.
"Looks like Kane's making a bold move. He must have detected the three energy sources were gathered. And now he's coming to collect." Jacob stated in realizing this stunt act of tracking where they are, & learning where the source was strongest of all three energy sources.
"Not on my watch, come on, time to assemble everybody out there." Mike made a firm expression in stating it's time to head out & fight.
"Oh yeah! Time for some action! Ka-Cha!" Texas boldly stated in getting excited now.
"Wait Mike, by everyone, do you even mean…?" Julie stopped their leader to ponder on his 'exact' words.
"Yep, everybody's getting a chance to help, including the new members." Mike Chilton pointed off in knowing even their new members can help where it's needed most.
"Well last time we were in a pinch, almost a lot of folks in Motorcity banded together, if we need help, we'll need to gather them?" Jacob ponders to think in recalling Project: Genesis, everyone in Motorcity banded together to fight against a common foe.
"I'm sure we can handle it, after all…our new members aren't just newbs." Mike smiled off to say in trusting the Mystery Shack Gang to put up a fight as much as he trusts his own team.
"I hope you know what your doing Mike?" Julie whispered under her breath in thinking thins are about to get hot under the collar.
"Ka-Cha! Lets go bust us some bots!" Texas yelled off as he was inside his car.
The Burners had all gotten into their rides, as they made some noise as they drove off. The sighting of combat drones dropping from above to descend, shows Kane was unleashing anything he had to fight those that would oppose him.
LOCATION: HUDSON'S LAB
Meanwhile at the exact time, the Mystery Shack Gang was at Hudson's Lab. The glowing journals were hooked to a machine to read their energy levels, as they were trying to figure out how to work them all together. Suddenly, Dipper received a call to pick it up while Hudson worked a bit as the others relaxed. After a while, Dipper received the entire story…
"Okay Mike, got it, we'll be there." Dipper nodded his head before hanging up on the com-link.
"What's the 411 Dipper?" Mabel asked in seeing how serious her brother was making that face.
"Mike says Kanebots are appearing & they need help?" Dipper pointed out what was going on, & the Burners need some extra help to take out some extra enemies.
"Alright! A chance for some action then just sitting around doing nothing." Wendy smiled in seeing this was the perfect chance to do something.
"Oh, I don't know? Eating doesn't sound that bad when doing nothing?" Soos shrug off to say while he was chowing down on a sub roll.
"It might be that Kane has decided to track where the three energy sources is most strong. If that's the case, he'll likely come here to find me?" Hudson ponders to say in knowing what Kane would want that he go through so much, & he was Kane's top scientist in which it's best he was left…unfold for learning he turn & left Deluxe.
"Then we better make sure he doesn't, we'll take them with us." Dipper stated as he grabbed the 3 glowing journals into his backpack.
"Wha, but then you'll be targeted. Are you alright with that?" Hudson asked with worry that these kids are putting themselves in harms way.
"No worries dude, we got rides, so as long as these wheels go round, ain't nothing gonna stop us now." Soos issued forth to say this stuff with an honest & true expression. "Wow, I'm a poetic & didn't know it?" He suddenly realized he was speaking out rhyming words of poetry just now.
"Which also rhymes!" Mabel smiled off in stating another score that Soos has done.
"Even so, please be careful, what you're undertaking is dangerous. The things Kane may send will go after you." Hudson asked these kids stay safe, no telling what Kane will throw at them to acquire them journals of vase limitless energy.
"Even so, we aren't gonna let anybody take what can get us home." Wendy issued off in being firm about not letting anyone take what can help them.
"Yeah, let's show them what Full Member Burners are!" Mabel cheered forth in readying herself to partake in the action.
"Mabel, you & I are still Burners In-Training?" Dipper blankly pointed out a fact that his sister forgot to include.
"Eh, close enough." Mabel shrug off to not bother on small details.
"Why do I even bother?" Dipper signed in seeing how he has to put up with his sister, he'll never know.
"Come on Mabel, you're with me!" Wendy called Mabel over to her ride.
"Co-pilot, ready for duty!" Mabel saluted in readying herself to jump in & put on her seatbelt.
"Yo Dipper, wanna tag along too? Heck, I could use your brawn with my brawniness out there?" Soos opened the door to his ride to await for Dipper to join him & to help out.
"Sure Soos, lets do this." Dipper crack a little smile to say as he got in with Soos.
Soon they all were in the two vehicles that drove off without wait, leaving Hudson behind to watch them leave in a different direction.
"Oh I hope they make it through." Hudson stated this much under his breath, fearing this conflict, will not be an easy one to settle.
The scenery shows much explosions happening in Motorcity, as the battle…has already started…
SOMEWHERE IN MOTORCITY…?
We see many of KaneKo's Elite Troopers firing off blasters while small & larger size KaneBots were coming down to blast the targets ahead of them. Even hovering in the air were dark & light silver color bots that had giant bodies that's over two trucks high & over three dump trucks long, with heads as big as half a bus, & filled with lasers, hidden under hatches. These things were known as Ultra Golems, & they were not only big & mean looking, but they pose a BIG threat. Fortunately Texas' car: Stronghorn, had mounted on the rood was it's Stronghorn Cannon which fires powerful lasers that hit the head enough to stop one of the Ultra Golems to drop down as the Burners zoom around blasting at everything attacking them.
"YEAH! Feel the wrath of TEXAS!" Texas issued forth in having let the enemies know who they are messing with.
Julie's car: 9 Lives, used it;'s holograms to make nione versions of it's self to trick a few Enforcers to follow, while deploying smoke screens from in the wheels. Then Dutch's car: Whiptail, drove through to unleash it's Sonic Spitter between the car that plays ear-splitting sound waves that shatter the Enforcers armors while using a prehensile laser gun mounted on the back, similar to a scorpion's tail, fired in any direction where H.O.U. ran. While Jacob drove his car: Sasquatch, it lure other bots to allow Mike's car: Mutt, to bring out his Pulse Rifles to fire green energy lazers rapidly to take out the numbers.
"How's everyone holding up?" Mike spoke on the coms in doing a check-up of their holographic square heads.
"So far so good Mike." Dutch replied off in seeing things are going alright, so far.
"Chuck, what exactly are we dealing with?" Julie asked the guy to help
"Kane's sent not just his Elite Troops, but his Kanebots, Enforcer Drones, H.O.U. , & even a few Ultra Golems. Mike, he's not letting up this time. He seems to REALLY going at us." Chuck scanned all areas to determine hostile threats around, & it's so big, it's a shock to wonder how they can handle all of these enemies.
"Then we better not disappoint the man." Mike Chilton smiled with confidence in seeing they best not disappoint Kane's effort to put on a show to beat the odds.
The Burners continued to drive through the roads through Motorcity, leading any bots on their tail. With team work & coordinate attack patterns, they were dropping the numbers. But more bots were coming in, & it was almost as painful to deal with as bringing down an Ultra Golem.
"Yo, how you think our buddies are doing?" Texas called in to ponder how the new members of their team are fairing.
"Hopefully better then we are?" Dutch stated from having noticed it, they got the worse bunch on their tails.
"I'm patching them through the com-links." Chuck stated in working to contact the others as their holographic heads appeared.
"Hello, you've reach Soos, how can I help you?" Soos replied off to say in who was calling.
"Hey Soos, how's your side going?" Mike smiled off to ask a simple question.
"We're alright, we're handling our side…./BOOM!" Dipper was stating before a loud explosion in the background was heard. "Pretty well?" He finished off to say with a sheepish expression.
"Yeah! Right between the eyes Wendy!" Mabel cheered in seeing their side just own them bots.
"You got it Mabel!" Wendy replied off in responding to her friend.
"Sounds like your having a party? But report if anything strange happens, Mike out." Mike smiled off to simply say while signing off for now.
"Heads up you guys, more Kane Goons & trouble at 12'O Clock!" Dutch yelled off in watching out for more trouble in front of them.
"Really, gee I thought it was 10:30?" Texas raised an eyebrow in looking at his car's clock to see what time it was.
"The only time I'm concern for, is when this is over?" Chuck exclaimed with worry in how they can end things sooner then endure this anymore then usual.
"Alright gang, lets get ready to burn!" Mike smiled in seeing that it's time to continue onward.
"I'll cover the rear." Julie issued off in helping to cover the backside.
Now the Burners were simply driving off while avoiding more laser blast all over, which covered the whole screen…as the battle continues.
THE MYSTERY SHACK GROUP…?
Meanwhile, we see two cars driving around taking down some Enforcers following or pursuing their targets. One was Soos' car: Overhaul & the other Wendy's car: Override, as they perform their best traits & abilities to outmaneuver & out-firepower the enemy on different sides. Mabel was cheering wildly as she & Wendy high-five, & Soos cheered as Dipper worked on the instruments.
"Yes! Hey Dipper, how much you think that makes?" Soos pumped his fist to ask his co-pilot how many that makes in taking down targets.
"I say that was your 50th Kanebot you blasted." Dipper pointed off in having counted the number of blown up bots.
"Beginners luck boys!" Wendy replied off with a cocky grin as the girls pull over near their driving pals to chat.
"Yeah! We girls have already score much more then that!" Mabel boasted off in having more point counts in busted up robots.
"Well all that matters is that all enemies are taken care of." Dipper stated in seeing that so far, all threats have been taken care of; maybe they can join up with the others now.
"Hey Dipper, if that takes care of all of them enemies, how come this blinking light says there's one more?" Soos pointed off on the long distance scanner shows…one more target ahead.
"Oh boy, this can be our tie breaker!" Mabel smiled eagerly in seeing what this one can do.
"First ones to claim this wins, you boys in?" Wendy smirked off in seeing it's time to see who gets this last one.
"Oh Dudettes, we are so in!" Soos issued off in raring himself to partake in this.
Now both cars drove off towards who can get the last target to break their tie breaker game here. But across the distance, the target seen appeared very different from most of what the Mystery Shack Gang has encounter. This guy was thin, but muscle built, wore a dark gray/black & red theme battle suit with a straight helmet form with a red visor, spikes going up the backside & over the helmet, & wrist collars. There was even a 'K' logo for KaneKo on the shoulders, but on the front was replaced with a red paint mark in the form of an hourglass. This guy was just waiting as if not reacting to two cars coming at him at their top speed.
"Um, guys, is it just me, or does that look different from anything else we seen?" Dipper narrow his eyes in concerns in seeing this enemy, does not look like the others.
"Hugh, he seems familiar, but I can't tell?" Wendy raised an eyebrow in not sure where she saw a dude in that getup, maybe apart of the City Of Motors Mid-Boss level perhaps to her knowledge.
"Maybe he's that bonus guy in the game?" Mabel pointed off that if they played the game before getting sent here, they would know who this opponent is.
"Well the dude's got guts, he's standing there as we're driving on over." Soos pointed off as they are heading for the lonely opponent while in their heavily equipped cars.
Suddenly the two cars were rushing at full speed to approach the enemy, but Dipper felt there was something off. So Dipper made a quick contact with Mike's group while there was still time.
"Ugh, Mike….can I ask you something?" Dipper asked something in having a really bad feeling here.
"What's the stich kid?" Mike asked in what was wrong on Dipper's side.
"Are there any of Kane's Elite Troops that….say, dress up in black & a bit of red?" Dipper asked off in trying to describe the guy that's before them.
"Hugh, you know, I think there was….but don't worry, Texas recalls it was one guy." Texas smiled off to cluelessly state the matter on who he remembers was a tough guy.
"Oh that's good, then nothing to worry about." Soos smiled off in thinking they were in trouble for a second.
"Yeah, the dude was a majorly dangerous bogey, we call him Red." Texas pointed off in stating the name of such a foe.
"Wait, Dipper, does he have a strange mark on his chest shape like an hourglass?" Mike asked this off in sounding serious for a moment now.
"Yeah, it looks almost like an hourglass, but it's color red. How'd you…" Dipper replied off in saying it was precisely that, but how did Mike know about…
"Don't engage him!" Mike yelled off in sounding worried in knowing the danger.
"Hugh?" Dipper raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, Mike sounds worry, did that mean this guy was….dangerous?
Then everything happened in an instant, as the guy punched the ground which released a red energy blast, which knock the front cars off the ground to being tossed over him in midair.
"Wha-the-Wha!?" Wendy raised an eyebrow in seeing everything happening in such fast motions.
"Wooahh….didn't see that coming?" Mabel replied off with a puzzled expression, that was NOT how they expected things to go.
The cars came crashing across the other side as they were flip-sided on their tops. As steam escaped from the cars & dust clouds faded, one figure turns around to see what was done…by their own hands.
"Hmph….too easy…" The one called Red remarked off in seeing this gig, won't even take up any of his time.
BACK AT MIKE'S TEAM
Right now in Mutt, the scan system that showed where the others were at, just went off the grid. Mike & his co-pilot Chuck, knew what that meant: there was a problem, & Mike knew what the cause was.
"Guys, big problem…Red's where the others are!" Mike issued this off with a serious expression in what's happening.
"Oh man, not that guy! The dude's crazy to beat?" Chuck exclaimed in knowing Red is not the easiest enemy to deal with, a former Motorcity citizen who hates Mike enough to join with Kane; definitely isn't good.
"But why would he be after anyone else but Mike? Dude really hates his guts." Dutch raised an eyebrow in why Red was going after the new members then Red's usual target; Mike.
"Unless Kane order him to find where the journals were no matter who had them, Mike would have been a bonus." Julie stated in knowing precisely what Kane was doing when he promise Red such a thing if he did a retrival.
"Hugh, wonder if that make us the extra bonus? Or Bonuses!?" Texas pondered this troubling question he gave himself.
"Guys, hold the fort here, I gotta go help the others!" Mike issued off with a firm face, as he was shifting gears & punching the pedal to the metal to make Mutt's engine roar.
"Wait, Miiiii-HI-Hi-Hi-Hiiiiike!" Chuck yelps off loudly to squeal in terror, as Mutt drove off a highway to race down a long hill slope; talk about your crazy shortcuts.
The others were about to follow, but more KaneBots were coming in to try to stop them. Despite trying to lose their pursuers, the bots were not giving them an inch…
"Oh boy, these guys just don't know when they're beat?" Texas raised an eyebrow in seeing how many more KaneBots are still trying to take them down; blast 1 & 10 more take it's place.
"Wait a second, how is it that there's less action by where the kids with the journals are then with us? The only one the scans show is Red?" Dutch asked in having done a sonar scan check fro mtheir rides, determine that only the Mystery Shack Gang have one enemy & no one else is going at them while they got a whole bunch of enemies.
"I bet I know! Kane must have wanted us to split up, & when we least expected it, go after those with his able elite." Julie stated in realizing the real plot behind this attack.
"Kane's set this trap up & we fell for it. We gotta break through & help Mike out." Jacob stated in seeing they need to go & help Mike rescue the others.
"Easier said then done, looks like a 1000 of these bad boys won't let us through." Dutch pointed off in seeing another large pack of KaneBots was already coming at them.
"Then punch it! We have to hurry!" Julie issued with a firm expression, they can't allow their friends to get taken.
"Alright, time for Texas to BRING THE PAIN!" Texas proclaimed in launching out the big guns on his ride.
"Okay ROTH, time to earn your keep." Dutch : a cube-shaped robot with emerald green coloring, engine motor from the back, is made of synthetic polymers, which gives it arms to show up from two sides, & from the front is an eyeball: this was R.O.T.H., a member of the Burners & buddy of Dutch as it distracted the other bots by making them accidentally attack each other without warning.
"Don't lose focus now, or else we'll be dessert. Keep them off our backs." Jacob issued off in trying to make sure, they get by this.
The Burners had to try to overcome whatever they had to, as they had to deal with Kane's forces that kept them busy. All while danger looms over what is happening towards their friends; their only hope might be if Mike makes it towards them.
BACK WITH THE OTHERS
The scene shows the flipped cars, with Soos & Wendy crawling out of the driver's sides, & Dipper & Mabel getting out from the passenger sides. Apparently they survived that, thanks to wearing seatbelts, but everyone was a bit lightly beat, some are woozy after what just happened earlier.
"Ohh….dudes, anybody get the number of that bus that hit us?" Soos rubs his head from what hit them.
"No, & I don't think we even saw that one coming?" Wendy rubs her back head after recovering from that event.
"That was unbelievable, he hit the ground & sent two cars flying over!?" Mabel pointed off in recalling what happened to them that seem…impossible to believe.
"Guys, I don't think we're out of the woods yet?" Dipper exclaimed in noticing that they still have a big problem.
That's when the gang heard footsteps to turn in notice who was coming slowly at them; not in a hurry, yet taking his own paste as some dark foe approaching like a predator to prey.
"Ugh, who's this guy who seems like the type with few words to say & yet judging how he tossed us aside in heavy cars, might be the strong, yet nearly silent type?" Soos asked in noticing the figure that was on the move towards where they are.
"Texas said he was called Red?" Dipper stated in what he recalls hearing about this character.
"Red as in the paint work?" Mabel raised an eyebrow to question the name related to the theme on the guy.
"No, I think I heard from Dutch of how bad this guy is…he's strong enough that even Mike has a near hard time against him. He even join Kane to seek revenge on him." Wendy explained with narrow firm eyes in knowing who this guy was, & he was bad news for certain.
"Must be nice to be recognized, especially from the side that sides with Mike Chilton." Then something was slowly overshadowing the others from a bright light distance, the gang saw him, the one called Red! "I believe you have something for my employer, hang it over. Nice & easy." Red stated in making this quick & clear; he wants Dipper's backpack with a hand held out to the kid.
"Ugh, what employer would that be?" Dipper asked with worry in trying to stall, but…
"Nice try kid, but if your with Chilton, then you must know who I am, & who I work for." Red remarked off in seeing pass what Dipper was up to.
"Um, nope…can't say we do." Soos shrug off to simply say as he was out of the loop here.
"Look, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Which will you choose?" Red remotely stated in giving this group two choices, & they better pick the 'right' one.
"How's about we say…GRAPPLE HOOK!" Mabel remarked off to say this with a sly smile before unveiling her grapple gun.
Mabel fired her grapple gun over a tower of junk to which with a simple yank, caused it to collapse. That created a large blockage against the gang & Red, separating the two as a means to keep the enemy from reaching them.
"The hard way it is." Red remarked off in seeing the hard way it was; as his body were charging red energy.
The Mystery Shack Gang had to quickly get themselves out of this danger before Red could get to them. If just one guy managed to flip a car over, then it's a wonder how Mike Chilton can fight this enemy in melee fights.
"Okay, that bought us some time." Mabel smiled with a bit of a confident face in giving them some time now.
"Time yes, but we don't stand a chance against him?" Dipper pointed out how they have certain things while notifying non of them can fight a dangerous opponent like Red.
"We gotta get our rides flip-side & get out of here to join up with Mike." Wendy issued off in seeing their best chance is to get in the vehicles with weapons & protection.
"Lucky thing I brought a useful tool in case I ever flip over a golf cart. Should take about 5 minutes." Soos stated in having the perfect tool for the job, as he began to try to lift the first car.
"POWVhmmm…." Suddenly half the pile of blocked junk was getting pummeled, & Red was just getting started to continue to make his way through…
"Soos! We don't have 5 Minutes!" Dipper yelled out in a panic that time is something they don't have.
"Woah man, dude's packing some serious red glowy stuff?" Soos exclaimed in what he saw, that was definitely not a normal thing to do.
"Mabel, ready for a little baseball?" Wendy smiled with a cocky expression in what this calls for.
"You know it sister!" Mabel cheered forth in sounding ready to partake in this.
The girls got themselves ready in collecting any scrap metal spheres & rocks, as Soos tried to flip their rides. Red managed to break through, but soon meant with a barrage of scraps being thrown at him to keep him at bay. The girls were doing all they could while Dipper & Soos got one of the cars flipped, & began to work on the next…
"This is getting tiresome." Red remotely & coldly stated that enough was enough of these silly games.
Without warning, Red was charging up a big red flash burst of energy that knock Wendy & Mabel backwards. The impact knock the girls into Soos & Dipper when they had the last car flipped, only to cause everyone to bang their heads & fall unconscious. Which was pretty bad as they lay on the ground, & with an enemy finally inches away from them…
"Play time's over!" Red remarked off to say as he was reaching down to grab Dipper's backpack…
Suddenly a loud engine roar was heard that cause Red to turn & leaped backwards to see another car screeching a distance between Red & the gang: it was Mutt. Mike Chilton exit his car, pulled out his metal skull to reveal his chain-saw pole, his arm weapon in close combat here.
"Picking on little kids, that's a new low even for you, Red?" Mike Chilton narrow his eyes at his opponent, making a witty remark.
"Mike Chilton, well now…looks like I been given a bonus on this job?" Red exclaimed in seeing who was here, the guy he wants to deal some payback to.
"Oh really, Kane pays you?" Mike raised an eyebrow to make a sarcastic comment on that remark.
"Yeah….to deal with you!" Red counter that remark with a glowing red energy fist.
Without warning, the two were soon engaging in a melee fight of close combat. Mike had to be swift in knowing how strong this guy built himself up to be strong & geared up with hard armor for protection. The next problem are those red electric energy pulses that Red's suit emits around him, it's his signature weapon for hand attacks to even charging his body to release the stuff.
"Bad enough you take me & my team on, now your reduced as Kane's Errand-Boy?" Mike firmly lectures the guy in seeing how low he's sunk in working for Kane & what he's doing.
"Call it what you will, but taking & beating you around the bush, is always the best kind of reward." Red remarked off in not caring anything except to take Mike down & make him pay.
"Mike! Big Problem!" Chuck contacted Mike on the com-link in having something urgent to say.
"Kinda busy at the moment Chuck?" Mike stated as he blocked Red's fist blow with his chain-saw pole.
"There's an Ultra Golem near the others, it's taking them away!" Chuck alerted Mike of danger that was near those that were unconscious.
Mike's eyes went wide as a large hovering Ultra Golem opened it's compartment to release some tracker beam to levitate the Mystery Shack Gang & their cars upwards. Mike began to panic, as just he was rushing over there, Red cut him off…
"Not so fast Chilton! We're not finish yet!" Red exclaimed in not allowing his opponent to escape.
"I don['t have time for this Red!" Mike sternly remarked in not having time for this guy.
"Then make time." Red remarked off in not caring, as he was throwing punches.
"I rather quickly change it!" Mike protest as he was defending against the attacks.
While the bickering went on as Mike tried to press through Red, it was already too late: the Mystery Shack Gang was soon abducted into the Ultra Glem, as it began to take off upwards towards the surface. Mike stared off in horror, before Red snuck in a free punch to his gut, as the guy seem satisfied.
"Heh, see yah around Mike! Then again, you might not be here for what comes next." Red remarked off to say this as he was making his way of leaving, as all Mike could do…was watch everything be taken from the guy.
"Wait!" Mike called out in wanting those to stop, but…
Too late as Red leaped off a cliff as Mike saw what happened, Red rode on some Enforcer as it hovered off to join the Ultra Golem. Mike glared at those getting away while gripping his weapon before looking down in shame. At the same time, Chuck came out of Mutt just as the rest of the Burners pulled up to see what mostly happen when a battle was over.
"Mike, Chuck, what happened?" Julie asked in seeing they have arrived, but there was nothing in sight.
"Oh man, Kane took them!" Chuck shook his head in regret of what transpired.
"Wait, you mean Kane got the books or the new guys & girls." Texas raised an eyebrow to question what Chuck was referring.
"Both of them, & I let it happen under my watch." Mike looked down in guilt to grip his fist; he let everything slip pass his fingers.
"Hey man, don't go beating yourself up over this. Kane tried to divide us, & we fell for it. Not just you." Dutch patted Mike's shoulder to ease the guy's guilt, they are all to blame for not realizing the situation.
"Dutch is right, for now, we gotta get to Deluxe & rescue them." Julie stated with a firm expression in what they need to focus on.
"Won't be easy, Kane's likely gonna beef up security, & there's no telling what he'll throw at us." Jacob pointed off in being the wise man of the group, knowing how Kane will deal with those that come after him in his own turf.
"Julie, you see what you can do in Deluxe." Mike looked to Julie in knowing she'll be doing some work on her side within Deluxe.
"Mike, where are you going?" Chuck asked in seeing Mike get into Mutt, but wonders where he's going at this time.
"To make an arrangement…hopefully enough to get those guys out of harms way." Mike made a serious expression, deciding that if they are gonna pull this off…something needs to be done; by him alone.
The other Burners were lost in thought as they saw Mike drive off somewhere, but where to, they don't know. Many looked up with worry, their new friends & new members are now in the hands of their worse enemy…Kane!
WITHIN KANEKO TOWER
A scene appears which shows Kane looking out his office windows at Deluxe. At that moment, one of the doors opens to reveal it was Tooley who that ran in all eager & happy-go-like.
"Good news Mister Kane, we GOT'Em!" Tooley exclaimed with a smile in presenting, those his boss wanted.
"Excellent Tooley, bring them to me." Kane smiled in liking the sounds of it, & wanted his prize brought to him.
"Okay you guys, you heard the boss!" Tooley waved off his hand to give the signal now.
That's when some Elite Troopers came in to pass Tooley, & they drop before Kane the captives they brought: the Mystery shack Gang. Slowly everyone was recovering from what happened to them from Red, before slowly realizing their surroundings were all….white! And not just that, they were in the presence of the main enemy himself…Abraham Kane!
"Woah, I must still be dreaming…everything's all…white?" Soos held his head from thinking he's dreaming of a place that's all color white.
"Don't look now, but it's not all right." Wendy pointed off in who they have the honor of meeting.
"Dipper, is that…" Mabel whispered this to her brother in who they see here.
"Kane…?!" Dipper muttered off in seeing who was here.
"Mister Kane, these were with Mike Chilton & the Burners." Tooley saluted to present those they capture, were working with the Burners & their leader: Mike Chilton.
"Is that so, my-my, Chilton must be desperate, if he's seeking additional help from children?" Kane raised an eyebrow in keeping a sly smug look in observing those here, & find that those Mike Chilton got involve to be Burners to oppose him, were quite so young; especially the twins.
"Hey buster! We're not so helpless that we haven't faced things a LOT scarier like them floating robot toasters!" Mabel stood up to protest out loud & straight seriousness about what she wanted to say.
"Robot Toasters? Do we have those Mister Kane?" Tooley raised an eyebrow in wondering if they make those.
"No Tooley, she means my KaneBots?" Kane held his forehead in having to explain this to Tooley about the topic a child was referring to; with someone who's mind is like that, a child's brain.
"Look Kane, whatever you're planning, we won't help you!" Dipper made a firm expression in stating they won't help this man.
"Wha…what could you possibly be referring to?" Kane responded in pretend shock of what he's hearing.
"Your after the journals, Mike told us you would, don't try to sugar-coat it that we weren't attack by your bots when we had the first one." Dipper was speaking in terms of being smarter then his appearance, knowing whatever excuse, Kane won't be able to walk out of it so easily.
"Oh my, I am terribly sorry for that. You see….my KaneBots are program to attack Burners…apparently an error of not attacking civilians overlooked that function." Kane pretend to be more shock in seeing that perhaps a flaw was overlook in his bots.
"Oh yeah, blame a glitch, that makes sense?" Wendy rolled her eyes in seeing how someone can getaway with such an excuse.
"But speaking of the topic, you all came across something that beyond my knowledge, is limitless energy inside the shape of a journal. And on top of that, there are three of them. How is such a thing possible?" Kane rubs his chin to ponder this subject out of those here to tell him what he wants to know.
"Well it's strange, cause something happened & we got sent here & now the journals are all glowy & such." Soos shrug off the shoulders to happen to mention this, &…
"Soos!" The Pine Twins yelps in seeing that Soos spilled the beans.
"Sent here, so then you four aren't originally from Motorcity?" Kane raised an eyebrow in having heard this, & became intrigue. "Intriguing? The unknown energy sources came here from somewhere else, & you came with them?" He was putting the pieces together that wherever these four came from, was where the energy source journals originated from as well.
"Yeah, so they BELONG to US!" Wendy pointed off that the journals belong to them.
"That's right! We're gonna take them home!" Mabel protest out in going against 'The Man' here.
"Hey, easy now…I'm a reasonable man…perhaps we can work something out?" Kane held up his hands to make a simple harmless smile in what they can come to some…agreement.
"Really, like what?" Soos scratch his forehead in not following where this might go.
"I can help get you home, wherever you are from." Kane patted his chest to kneel down to speak to the twins in trying to approach them as their friend. "All I need, is the source of energy with my scientist & our advance technology, to pull it off. What do you say?" Kane really lay it on, it was almost a tempting offer that was hard to refuse, however…the gang knew best.
"I'm sorry, as much as we wanna get home, we can't trust you after knowing you tried to hurt Mike & everyone else in Motorcity." Dipper made a very firm & very serious expression that despite wanting to return home, they can't trust a man that tried to do so much wrong to innocent folks for his own self absorption.
"Yeah! We won't cooperate no matter what you do to us! Beat ups, Torture, you name it!" Mabel protest out loudly in not backing down even for a minute of whatever happens to them.
"Okay Mabel, no need to PUSH it!?" Dipper grit under his teeth to mutter this to his sister not to push their graves any deeper in this situation.
"Wha….you think I'm some Heartless Monster that hurts little children like you? That really hurts?" Kane gasped in pretending to be shock that these little kids even think he resort to such horrible actions.
"Oh, well I guess that isn't so bad?" Soos smiled off easily in thinking there was nothing bad about that, at least Kane isn't a COMPLETE Monster.
"However, Tooley…apprehend the two behind them." Kane stood up to say this with a firm expression.
"Got it Mister Kane!" Tooley responded to say as he reach out his hands to grab Soos & Wendy's arms.
"Woah!?" Soos yelps when the guy picked him up from the right hand while Wendy got picked up by the left hand.
"Hey! What gives!?" Wendy raised an eyebrow & her tone in not liking what the big goof was doing.
"Don't worry, Tooley's gonna help….insure you about our means of those non-cooperative means of business arrangements." Kane patted his hands in making a sound assurance about handling means of those that refuse to, shall one say 'partake' in business deals.
"Bu-bu-but…you just said you never hurt us?" Dipper nervously stump off his words in trying to state what Kane said earlier; he never harm them.
"And I did mean it. Because you & your sister…are…how old?" Kane made a sly & cocky grin in trying to say the words in wrapping those around his finger.
"Oh, easy, we're 12." Mabel smiled off to say as if knowing how old they are is a problem.
"Mabel!" Dipper exclaimed his sister in giving Kane the answer he needs.
"Oops!?" Mabel yelps in realizing, she should probably not have said that.
"Right…technically, you ARE children." Kane pointed off that the Pine Twins, are still that…children that are not 13 & older. "But, your friends on the other hand, are not." He pointed to in knowing for a fact, the others, are not so lucky.
"Yeah! You two don't look like your twelve years old?" Tooley raised an eyebrow in looking at Wendy & Soos to know, they hardly seem under age. "She looks like a teenager, & you…ugh…well, I think your older then a teen?" He looked to Wendy, but seem lost in wondering…was Soos older then a teen, hard to say with the questionable round guy.
"Oh, well dude with the ponytail's got us there?" Soos exclaimed in realizing that one can't beat logic like that.
"Ow….quit squeezing so hard!" Wendy yelps in feeling how hard Tooley was gripping her right arm.
"Yeah buddy, don't you know….guys don't hurt girls. It's the basic principles my Nana taught be about how boys should treat girls gently." Soos pointed off in sounding super serious about how a guy has to treat girls with a more gentle caring approach.
"Oh, really? Gee, I guess I haven't really thought about capturing a female Burner?" Tooley raised an eyebrow in taking a moment to realize this, as he lets go of Wendy: Soos smiled in seeing he helped protect Wendy from harm. "Then I guess you'll have to take more of the beating for her then." He made a simple grin in gripping his free left hand into a fist.
"Oops, I should've thought that through?" Soos yelps in realizing too slow, about knowing what might be left for him.
"Here goes!" Tooley exclaimed in lifting Soos up with an eager face in what comes next; punching time.
"Punch!/Ouch!" Soos yelped from getting a punch right in the face. "Punch!/Oaf! The Hurts!" Then Soos yelped from getting the next side of his face punched. "Punch!/Ow! I think I should have seen that?" Then Soos yelped from the third hit in his gut that hurt. "Punch!/Cough…I think I might spew out my lunch, breakfast & last night's dinner?" Soos coughed from that next punch, man this Tooley guy is brutal as Kane's muscle man.
"Leave Him Alone!" Wendy leaped up to wrap her arms around Tooley's neck to strangle the guy to release Soos; but the big slow witted guy had a lot of resilience & endurance despite not having much a brain.
"Ugh, Mister Kane….what should I do? I can't hit a girl, that would be wrong…right?" Tooley raised an eyebrow in not knowing how to handle this situation after what Soos told him.
"Oh for the love of….Restrain her soldiers." Kane rolled his eyes to give the nearby troops to apprehend the troublemaker; aka Wendy.
"Hey! GRrrr…" Wendy yelps as she was pulled off of Tooley & both arms restrain by Kane's Elite Troopers.
"Wendy!" Dipper called out in seeing the girl get handled & kept in check.
"Stop it! Leave them alone!" Mabel protest off in looking worried, this was not a good thing.
"I'm sorry children, it must be hard watching others suffer…because of a lacking of decisive decisions?" Kane shrug off with a symphatic expression on how hard this was for 12 year old kids to see their friends get mistreated & hurt because of one's own 'actions & consequences' in the mix. "But you can make it all go away, & you know it…don't you?" He made a dark sly smile in trying to give the Pine Twins a clue; in what to do that can stop all of this.
"I….I…" Dipper was left between two choices, one way he can protect Motorcity & Mike's friends, but…what about Soos?
"PUNCH!/Crack…/Ow….I think I felt a rib almost crack now…ooh!?" Soos yelped from feeling another punch blow to his stomach, & this time…he felt something that time.
"Soos!/Soos!" Wendy & Mabel cried out, anymore & Soos will need medical attention.
"I…I…hugh…I….give up, you win Kane." Dipper signed in the end, as he decided not to watch this anymore. "Here…" He closed his eyes & took off his backpack to hold it out with his head turn; giving Kane what he wanted.
"That's a good little boy. You see, compensation helps make life better for you…& your friends." Kane smiled in a sneaky sly way as he accepted the backpack to peak inside; finding all three glowing journals. "Take these to the lab & have them place in the new machine." He handed the backpack to one of his nearby Trooper Elites while giving the orders.
"Yes sir." The Trooper saluted before making his way out.
"Mister Kane! What should we do with them?" Tooley asked this puzzling question that with the journals theirs, what do they do with those that carried them here.
"They gave me what I want, so until I settle some business….make them stay in one of our….'humble' room assortments." Kane made a smile as he turn away while making that sly expression on how he spoke such words & meaning.
"Roger." Tooley saluted to say as he heard & would obey.
As the Elite Troopers were escorting the gang away with an injured Soos & a still resisiting Wendy while the Pine Twins were force to follow without causing problems. But as they left, Kane made a sly dark smile, as if he was thinking about something…
"Now all the pieces are together, it won't be long until your out of my hair for good…Mike Chilton." Kane exclaimed in knowing very soon, he will be rid of his thorny problem once & for all.
The scene goes dark around now, as everything that is happening reflects what is about to occur. And all that can be said, is this…
