Chapter 9- Double Vision is the Bomb
"Hello everyone!" Blues said into a microphone in a hallway of Doctor Cossack's laboratory. Rockman held a video camera to his eye taping Blues. "We come to you live from Moscow, Russia, in the famous Doctor Cossack's laboratory. Now that the first quarter of The Wreckoning's elimination round is complete, it's time to interview our winners." Blues nudged Roll who was standing beside him and entered a large conference room- holding the eight winners of the first quarter. Blues strolled up to Guts Man and jabbed his microphone in front of the burly robot's face and said, "Gutsie, any words for the folks at home regarding your victory over Ring Man in the first round?"
Guts Man guffawed and snorted in stocky laughter. "Duh-huh, I still gots his bracelet!" Guts Man cheered as he held his left arm up, revealing Ring Man's golden Ring Boomerang slipped snugly around his giant wrist.
"And your next opponent will be Knight Man," Blues commented, "Any words for him?"
"Duh, I'll crush you!" Guts Man snorted.
"Thou do waste thy breath," Knight Man grumbled.
"Oh Knight Man," Blues said, "You have something to say to Guts Man?"
"Thou shall meet thy doom at mine hands," Knight Man breathed in his deep raspy voice, "Like that cowardly Napalm Man!"
"Duh-huh, c'mon then shorty!" Guts Man roared in laughter.
Blues put his hands between the two rivals and separated them. "C'mon now both of ya'! You'll get your chance to beat each other senseless soon!"
"Ah," Blues hummed, strolling up to Flash Man, "Flash dude, you got anything to say about Clown Man?"
Flash Man took the microphone from Blues and said, "Y'know, that kid was pretty damn strong. Too bad his CPU didn't follow."
"And Needle Man," Blues said, taking the microphone from Flash Man and holding it to Needle Man, "What have you got to say about Burst Man?"
"Pathetic," Needle Man hummed.
"Can't argue with that," Blues chuckled. "Now then, Turbo Man! What are your thoughts?"
Turbo Man snatched the microphone from Blues and barked into it, "Yo!I'llcrushthatlittleeskimoIceMan!Ohyeahohyeahohyeah!" Turbo Man then stood in another bizarre pose.
"Sure, whatever," Blues murmured. "Now, Ice Man," Blues said, snatching his microphone back from Turbo Man, "You want to say anything?"
"Roll! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" Ice Man pleaded.
"No," Roll said placidly. Ice Man groaned.
"And Metal Man! What about you?" Blues asked the red robot.
"Bring it on, Shady!" Metal Man taunted, "Your ass is grass when we meet!"
"Oh, quite the contrary, my good man," Shade Man chuckled, "I shall mount your head atop my dwelling after I'm through with you!"
"You wanna bet?" Metal Man snarled.
"Let's try!"
Metal Man and Shade Man dove at each other. "Well, that's the interview," Blues hummed, "Back to you Doc Light at the stadium!"
"Well, thank you Blues," Doctor Light said, sitting behind the announcer's table with Eddie- who was standing on the table.
"And now, tonight's contestants!" Eddie announced to the cheers of the crowd. "From the north end, he is a double-crossing two-timer, but that means in a good way for him, Gemini Man!" A short black robot with two large shining blue plates on his chest walked out onto the center of the field. "And, on the south end," Eddie announced, "Call him Mr. Acme, 'cuz he's dynamite, Bomb Man!" A short plump red and black robot sporting a tall red Mohawk walked onto the field beside Gemini Man.
Suddenly, Auto leapt out from underneath the announcer's table again. "I am referee! I declare this a Ro-battle! Begin!" And with that, Auto snuck back under the table.
Gemini Man and Bomb Man paced around each other. Gemini Man then put both hands on his hips and hummed. His body suddenly began to glow a bright blue and an extra pair of arms sprouted from his body followed by another set of legs. Gemini Man's head then shifted at the neck to sit by his left shoulder, making way for another head to pop up on his right shoulder. Suddenly Gemini Man's extra limbs separated from his body attached to a new body totally identical to Gemini Man- a perfect clone.
The original Gemini Man looked at his clone. "Take the right side, I'll take the left," he said. The clone nodded and took an amazingly high leap into the air and landing behind Bomb Man.
"Classic crossfire?" the replica asked. Gemini Man nodded.
Both clones formed their Arm Cannons on their right hands and aimed them at Bomb Man.
Bomb Man's chest compartment opened and out tumbled a large spherical bomb. Catching it in his hand before it hit the ground, Bomb Man looked at the Gemini Man behind him, and then at the real one in front of him.
"Now!" Screeched the true Gemini Man. At that the two robots opened rapid- fare upon Bomb Man as they ran around in circles around him. Bomb Man was battered on both sides without any chance to move from the assault of plasma blasts being blown at him. Managing to raise his bomb, Bomb Man chucked his Hyper Bomb at the Gemini Man behind him. The Hyper Bomb let out a powerful explosion, sending the Gemini Man flying to one side of the arena. The other Gemini Man grasped his side and yelped as if he was wounded along with his clone.
"Oh, I get it!" Bomb Man snickered. He let another Hyper Bomb tumble into his hand and tossed it at the other Gemini Man. The bomb detonated on impact when it hit Gemini Man on the chest, sending him flying backwards into the arena wall. His clone grasped his chest simultaneously and screamed in agony as he fell to one knee. "This'll be easy!" Bomb Man cheered himself on, producing another Hyper Bomb.
Suddenly, both Gemini Men leapt up onto their feet and continued their circular assault pattern. Bomb Man was knocked down to his knees, but not before throwing another Hyper Bomb. The bomb bounced along the ground letting one Gemini Man accidentally kick it as he ran. The bomb detonated sending the unfortunate Gemini Man flying forwards, leaving the other Gemini Man collapse to his knees wheezing.
Suddenly, the Gemini Man that has felt the damage of his counterpart began to crack in his armor and then all over his body as well. With that, the Gemini Man's limbs began to crumble into scrap as his body followed suit. Soon, all that was left of the clone was just a heap of smoldering metal. The real Gemini Man screamed in pain as his clone disintegrated. Bomb Man wiped his bloody lip and grasped another Hyper Bomb. "Eat this, Gemini Man!" Bomb Man screeched as he hurled the explosive orb at Gemini Man. Gemini Man barely found time to scramble out of harm's way as the bomb exploded beside him.
Gemini Man got back to his feet and spat out some robot blood. He recharged his arm cannon and said, "You'll regret that, Bomb Man!"
Bomb Man laughed. "Make me then!" he taunted.
With that, Gemini Man aimed his cannon at Bomb Man and screeched, "Gemini Laser!"
The blue blast of energy that shot from Gemini Man's cannon sped towards Bomb Man. Bomb Man ducked out of the way of the laser and let it hit the arena wall behind him. The laser bounced off the wall and was sent against the other side of the arena. Again Bomb Man dodged the Gemini Laser as it bounced off the wall beside him and zoomed by. Soon the laser disintegrated, but Gemini Man had already launched another one as soon as it disappeared. Again Bomb Man dodged the blue laser and chucked another Hyper Bomb at Gemini Man. The Gemini Laser penetrated the black bomb, detonating it on contact. Both Gemini Man and Bomb Man were knocked backwards from the blast.
When Gemini Man regained his senses, he saw Bomb Man standing over him with Hyper Bomb in hand. "Bye bye, Gemini!" Bomb Man taunted as he shoved the bomb into Gemini Man.
However, Gemini Man blocked the bomb's path with the barrel of his cannon and said, "I don't think so."
With that, Gemini Man fired another Gemini Laser straight through the Hyper Bomb. The resulting explosion was nothing less than titanic. It was at least seven minutes before the smoke cleared from the open-sky stadium. The badly damaged Gemini Man sputtered and coughed through the smoke and stumbled upon the head of his foe, lying limp on the ground before him. Gemini Man playfully kicked the head into the stands as Rockman announced, "And Gemini Man is our winner!"
