And now, I am pleased to present to you the final act in this story, Act V. From here on out, it'll be one final campaign and an epic final boss battle. We are nearing the end, people, and from what I got to say is that I'm not doing the "9,000" joke ever again, there will be surprises, and to some… no deaths.
Yes, I'm not going to do no more mindless deaths. Well, to only those that have a main part in the story, not to the list of people I make for who Dr. Nefarious kills. I know what I'm doing is stupid, but please, allow me to say that I'm sorry for killing the Kankers and Sarah and joking about it, but also allow me to say that I had it planned out. I knew when they were going to die, so that doesn't mean that I just randomly kill characters. If I would have, I wouldn't have any of my cast left.
Now, to get back on track, the next two chapters will discuss about how things stand in the story. First up is Mask Hero's story, and trust me on this: you're in for a surprise.

Chapter Twenty-Five – A Moment of Reprising
OOO
The boys of Team Cul-de-Sac are watching over the latest footage from the last Exterminator match, with the remaining Eds versus the Admiral Rigatoni Antonucci. The film crew constantly shows footage of Ed and Eddy working together, with the occasional clips of Ed going berserk. Double D begins to stir, regaining consciousness after going through repairs to not only his suit but his back. The smart Ed pivots his body to the edge and he got up for the first time in a while, getting feeling back throughout his body. He then jumps off the table and begins to walk over to the others, and then he checks behind himself to feel the wound fully heal.
"Greetings," Double D said. "What seems to be going on lately?"
"Oh Double D Ed boy, you are finally awake," Rolf said.
"We're just watching what happen during the last match," Jonny said.
"I got to say, I didn't know the dork got it in him?" Kevin said.
Double D watches the HoloVision monitor to see what Kevin was talking about. During the show, they replay the scenes of Ed taking on the admiral pirate by himself, using all of his burning rage to defeat the robot with a swift blow to the head. Double D looks in surprise as the replays loop themselves over and over again.
"Ed did that all on his own?" the smart Ed asked.
"Apparently so," Kevin replied. "He got so mad he turned to the robot and let his anger out on it."
"Rolf's eyes fool the brain of Rolf," the tall boy said.
"What?"
"Rolf remembered seeing a little girl running out on the field," Rolf said.
Then, the screen changes to the afternoon show featuring the wrecked robot Noweg with the background with the two Eds in the backdrop and the word "Winners" above their heads. Sitting to the left of the robot is the devil child Marsha, holding herself a report of her own.
"What you have just witness are the highlights from the Exterminator match," Noweg said. "The Eds have defeated the last of the normal Exterminators, Rigatoni Antonucci, and are now the latest Liberators. Now joining me today is the lovely Marsha Violet, here to tell us more about what exactly did happen during the match."
"Thank you Noweg," the devil child said. "During the Exterminator match, there was an intrusion of some random girl and she helped the Eds in defeating Rigatoni. Sadly though, she was mistakenly shot down by a stray bullet, and it was, to the tall Ed, that Rigatoni shot the child and the rest was history."
The show now starts showing the clip of the girl being shot through the head. The boys look in horror by who is getting shot, someone that the boys know personally. Double D haves both of his hands over his mouth, Kevin with his jaw hanging open, Jonny looks wide-eye and Rolf is rubbing his chin as the clip is repeated over and over again.
"Good Lord, is that Sarah?" Double D finally shouted.
"Whoa," Kevin said.
"So that's who the child was," Rolf said, still rubbing his chin.
"I sure hope that Ed's doing better," the smart Ed said quietly.
"It's such a tragic lost," a voice said. "She did have a lot of potentials, but it's so sad to see her go like that."
The boys turn to see who is standing in the doorway, and they find Mask Hero leaning against the door with his shoulder. Behind him are two shadows and the shadows emerge for the boys to fully recognize them.
"Hi guys," Nazz said.
"Jimmy! Nazz!" Double D said.
"Nazz, are you all right?" Kevin asked.
"I'm great, dude," the girl replied.
"I brought them here," the masked teen said. "I was hoping to bring the whole group back, but you know what happen to her."
"Plank thinks that Sarah deserved that," Jonny said.
"Jonny, how could you say such a thing?" Jimmy asked. "Sarah didn't do any…"
Jimmy looks around the room to what feels like to him a thousand evil glares, but instead are two silent stares and one neutral face. "I'm sorry," the small boy replied. "I know Sarah can be a handful, but she's a nice girl."
"Well, I guess that's everything," Mask Hero said. "Seeing that everyone is back together, I guess that my job here is done."
"Wait, before you go," Double D said, stopping the gladiator, "I want to thank you for bringing me back here."
"It's nothing," the teen replied. "Anything I can do to help out another fellow gladiator."
Then a Dropship comes down from the highways and parks right on the landing dock. The doors open up and Ed and Eddy come walking out from the ship. Ed haves a dark cloud over his head, while Eddy is right behind him, shouting things about trying to cheer the tall Ed up.
"C'mon, you gotta crack a smile!" the small Ed shouted. "Do it at least once for me?"
"Shut up!" Ed replied.
He takes a Neo-Crusher and punches Eddy right in the stomach, sending the small Ed flying all the way to the other side of the quarters and crashing into Jonny's computer. Ed storms to his table and got on top, causing it to break since he plop on top of it and the power turns off from his suit. Eddy comes walking in, holding onto his bruised stomach, as he notices Ed lying on top of what used to be a table.
"Hey, wake up Ed!" Eddy shouted. "C'mon, I didn't really mean what I said earlier! Hey, aren't you even listening?"
"Eddy, calm yourself this instant!" Double D instructed. "Don't you see that Ed wants to be alone so he collect his thoughts?"
"Thoughts? What thoughts?" the small Ed replied sharply. "The guy's a big baby, and he should learn to toughen up!"
"Well, how about you like it if it was one of your family members that was shot on that battlefield?" the smart Ed asked.
Eddy begins to think deeply. "Well, at first I wouldn't care," he said, "but then I'll be left all alone. No one is there to help me get through my life. I have to raise myself up on my own, and there will be no one to care about me."
"You see, that's how Ed feels," Double D said. "If you can learn to feel what he's feeling, it could make you see how others feel."
"We care about you," Nazz said.
"We do?" Kevin asked, before getting a light nudge from the girl. "Oh yeah, we do."
"Thanks," Eddy replied lightly before looking up. "Hey, how long have Nazz and Jimmy been standing there?"
"The whole time," Jimmy replied.
"I'm the one that brought them here," Mask Hero said.
Eddy looks at the masked teen quietly before boiling up mad. "You! What the hell are you doing here, you jackass?" he shouted. "You got some nerve showing that ugly face around here, especially after what you did to…"
Before Eddy could finish his sentence, Mask Hero grabs a hold of the Ed's neck and shoves him to a wall, pinning him there as the teen draws his sword with his free hand and places it next to Eddy's bare neck.
"You better watch that sharp tongue of yours," Mask Hero said. "I'll have you know that I don't treat lightly to gladiators, especially ones to attitudes like yours, and if you value your life more than anything else, I suggest zipping it before I slice your mouth off."
"You don't have the guts," Eddy said, straining due to the lack of air flow. "Why don't you kill me right here?"
The masked teen lets out a smirk. "You don't know, do you?" he said.
"What, 'cuz you're ugly?" the small Ed replied.
Mask Hero shoves Eddy deeper in the wall. "No, this mask holder is to allow my masks to take the power that they have."
"Then why don't you show your face?" Eddy asked. "I'm pretty sure that your face is ugly."
"Fine, I will."
The teen places his sword back into its sheath and places his free onto his mask holder. He slowly reveals his face to Eddy, and the boy got wide-eye by what he is seeing. Before the teen could reveal all of his face, Eddy's jaw drops wide open.
"You're… You're… You're like…"
Hero drops his mask holder and Eddy, dropping the Ed and allowing him to breathe again. The unmasked teen hangs his head low, allowing no one to see his face. Then, Hero grabs onto his sword and quickly swings it around, slicing all of the cameras in the room before placing the sword back in its sheath.
"Now that no one is looking," Hero said, "allow me to present… me."
The teen slowly pivots his head, revealing only parts of his face to the group. When he shows a quarter of his face, everyone grew wide-eye by what they are seeing. And then, he reveals his full face and everyone is silent, except for Double D who is letting out a strange babble. Mask Hero's face is all perfect, with no flaws and no scars, and his shiny blue eyes shine brightly from the lights in the room.
"This is how I look like," the teen said.
"But why would you hide you face in the first place?" Double D asked.
"Well, the mask holder here allows me to tap into my masks to get them to reveal the true power of the masks," Hero said, picking up his mask holder. "Second, I don't want Gandolfini to know who I really am."
"Something about you makes Rolf remember something," Rolf said.
"Well, how will you react when I say that I'm a human like you?"
The whole room retracts. "WHAT?"
"Yes, the only human out here in the middle of space," Hero said, "the only human to travel beyond the Milky Way galaxy to explore the cosmos."
"You're… a… human?" Double D said weakly. "This is… such a scientific discovery! With you being the first ever recording of a human leaving the Milky Way galaxy and us actually meeting you, we have something to prove to when we return back to Earth!"
"Actually, getting back is the problem," Hero said. "I have been working hard to get back to Earth, but the lack of training has yet to prepare me to build a functioning ship."
"Training?" Eddy echoed.
"You see, before I came here, I was an apprentice to a mechanic and engineer," the teen said. "I was hoping that I could learn to build a ship so I can return back to my home world, but I didn't learn a thing."
"Why, because you have learning problems?" Kevin asked.
"No, it was my master wasn't interesting in teaching me anything. All he cares about is his bolts and the programs he have been working on ever since he was a kid like me."
"Before you continue on," Double D said, "I like to know how you got here."
"Certainly. You see, I was part of an experiment that deals of giving child birth in space. I was the first child to ever be born in space, and my mother knew that I was special to be born out here. The doctors and scientists tested me to make sure that I was all right, and oddly enough, I was actually born to fit the conditions of being in the zero gravity."
"Intriguing," the smart Ed said, writing what Hero is saying on a notepad.
"But then, the unthinkable happen. A stray asteroid came towards the ship we were in, and the doctors and scientists feared for my well-being. I remember hearing my mother telling me that I was destined to be among the stars, and so the scientists put me inside of an escape capsule and I was sent into deep space. From that point on, I have never heard from them ever again."
"Oh, that's so sad," Nazz said, walking up to hug the teen. Kevin and the other boys, except for Rolf, got a little mad for Hero.
"Thank you," Hero said. "Now, after spending a few years in the capsule, I landed here in the Polaris galaxy, and I could remember people fearing me because I was different. For some time in my life, I was considered the outsider since I was the only one out here in the galaxy. Then a nice foster family adopted me into the family and raised me up to ten years of age, and for once in my life, I actually felt that I was being loved.
"Of course, my foster parents weren't the wealthy bunch, so they sent me out into the galaxy to go to not only send them money for them, but to also get the education I needed. I was hoping that I could get an apprenticeship at one of the shipwrights, but no one wants me. That was… before I met him."
"Who?" Jimmy asked.
"The one running it all… Gandolfini Birman."
"You mean the psychopath that is holding us all here?" Eddy asked.
"The exact one," Hero replied, "but he wasn't like that when I first met him. He was more interested in the bolts that he made off of the robots he made and his two programs: the Transmorpher and the Mechanical Reaper, also known as the Mechanical Construction to the public. You see, people constantly asked for his latest model in the Mechanical Construction line, but unlike the Mechanical Reapers that are being fought here in Dreadzone, the Mechanical Constructors are designed to take heavy damage but are so weak that it'll break if it lifts more than eleven pounds."
"Sounds like Double D," Eddy joked before getting a stink eye from Double D.
"But then, Gandolfini wasn't exactly the type who would waste his bolts on the repairs," the teen said, continuing on. "That's where me and Noweg come in. You see, we were sent out to go retrieve any scrap metal that we find and send them back to Gandolfini. From there, he can turn those scraps into robots and those robots into bolts. The problem with that plan is that the scrap metal is usually dangerous to handle and sometime it comes from dangerous conditions."
"You should file for a claim of child abuse," Jonny said. "That's what Plank said you should do."
"Can't, there isn't such a thing like that out here," Hero said. "But, even though Gandolfini didn't taught me a thing, Noweg was there to teach me what I can. He was very nice, and I was willing to give him upgrades if he can teach me all he knows about building."
"And that seem to help you, didn't it?" the voice of Noweg said.
The wrecked robot comes walking through the door and stands right next to Rolf. "I'm glad that I was able to help you," the robot said, "and I can't thank you enough for the repairs."
"You see, I reprogram Noweg into what he is today," Hero said. "Though he may act like a know-it-all on the HoloVision, he is a sweet robot that really needs the repairs."
"Then why not go to Gandolfini?" Kevin asked. "He's a mechanic, right?"
"Well, the thing is, my master wasn't the type to really go back to his projects unless it really needs tweaking," Noweg said. "He will spend his occasional time tweaking only his Mechanical Reaper program, trying to get it back to its original form."
"Original form?" Double D echoed.
"The Mechanical Reaper program was designed for a robot reaper to be not only strong in strength, but strong in armor," Noweg replied. "But when Gandolfini tried to answer the problem of the lack of construction getting done, he reprogrammed the Mechanical Reaper program and it is now what it is today."
"Not very smart," Eddy said.
"Hey, I'm his very first creation," the wrecked robot replied. "At least I can show that he's not stupid."
"But criminally insane," a voice said.
The group turns to notice "Deadeye" James Guns standing in the doorway, leaning the same way like Mask Hero was when he first came into the room. "I'll have you know that Gandolfini isn't what he appears," the bounty hunter said. "Yes, he is the mastermind behind this whole charade, but he's more of a psychopath than anyone thinks he is."
"What gave you that idea?" Eddy asked.
"Well, being a bounty hunter, you have to know these things," James replied. "You see, Gandolfini has been working on several robots that were causing havoc all over the Polaris galaxy before he started Dreadzone X, and everyone believed that the robots were just malfunctioning, not from Gandolfini's programming."
"That could explain those late-night bursts of laughter," Noweg said. "I thought he was watching a stand-up thing on the HoloVision."
"But aren't you supposed to be dead?" Jonny asked. "We saw that you have died from an eye infection."
"You really think I can get infected in my bionic eye?" the bounty hunter replied, pointing to his eye. "This thing isn't built like normal robot parts, and I can't really get infected in this eye."
"It was foolproof," Hero said. "Having millions of people believing that a famed bounty hunter in this galaxy to wound up dead from something that won't happen in a lifetime. That's something, all right."
"Yeah, I still can't get over how I can easily trick those robots into believing that I'm a poltergeist," James said.
"Uh, can someone please tell us what's going on?" Double D asked.
The guests fell silent and they look upon the human children. "Well, since you asked," Hero said, "I guess it'll be fair to let you in on the plan to defeat Gandolfini."
"A plan to get back at the guy who threw us in here in the first place?" Eddy said. "You beat we'll help you!"
"But the thing is that we still don't have a good enough plan," Noweg said.
"How about a full frontal assault?" Kevin asked.
"No, that can't do," the wrecked robot replied. "The way to Gandolfini's office is heavily armored and trap-laden. If you can get pass all of that, then I'm sure that there are lasers that will zap you dead."
"Heavy assault?" Eddy offered.
"Again, you have to get pass the tight security," Noweg said, "plus the Transmorphers and the Range Strikers."
"Rolf will suggest a peace offering," the tall boy said.
"And do what?" Hero said. "We can't do much with a peace offering, and even with it, we'll still have the Deadlock collars on us."
"Can't we break the things off?" Nazz asked.
"Uh, and risk blowing our heads off?" Eddy said.
"Plank said we could use stealth, like a ninja!" Jonny said.
"Stealth is good," Noweg said, "but again, take the security system in mind, as that also have thousands of cameras watching every corner of the hallway."
"Hacking?" Double D offered.
"No normal computer has any access to the main computer," James replied. "Trust me, I already try. A team of D-Z Berserkers came up behind me and shoved the barrels in my body."
"Sabotage?" Jimmy asked.
"And that's what I'm thinking," Hero said, "but that plan requires a lot more work than you might aspect."
"Knock, knock," came from Marsha. "Is this a private party, or can anyone join?"
Again, the group turns to see the little devil child Marsha standing the doorway with York the Impaler standing right behind her. The two of them walk inside of the room and Kevin gives them an evil look, telling them silently that there isn't any room for the two commentators to be in here.
"So, got any plans to involve us in your little plan?" the devil child asked.
"Actually, there may be something," Hero said, rubbing his chin. "Well, I think that's everyone."
"Uh, excuse me for asking," Double D said, "but why exactly are going with this plan?"
"One thing: to get back at Gandolfini for what he is doing."
"Uh, is that a tad extreme?" Nazz asked. "Sure, he didn't teach you a thing, but you think of going to kill him is going to make a difference?"
"No, if I was going to get back at Gandolfini for that, I would do it more in an orderly fashion," Hero replied. "I'm talking about killing Gandolfini for killing of innocent of gladiators in this cursed game."
"I wouldn't call some of these gladiators 'innocent,'" James said.
"Still, what Gandolfini is doing is wrong, and he has to pay!" Hero stated. "For six years of abusing gladiators and separating them from loved ones has gone on for way too long! He has killed countless of gladiators, and I can't allow this to go on anymore! So, what we are going to do is head right for the core."
"You mean Gandolfini?" Double D asked.
"No, I mean the very core of this station," Hero responded. "You see, I got a plan that involves setting up a series of explosives around the core, which will then blow up the station. Once we get everyone off the station, we'll blow up the station, ending DreadZone once and for all."
"Of course, if we can get Gandolfini with us, we could arrest him!" James said. "Just think how much we can rake in if we bring in a five-star ranked serial killer and organized crime lord. That's enough to give everyone enough to cover the death bills."
"Don't forget that Gandolfini also haves a reserve of bolts as well," Noweg replied. "If we can get that too, then he'll be powerless against us."
"But what about the two programs, the Transmorpher and the Mechanical Reaper?" Double D asked. "He is sure that he can't leave his side if he values them."
"That's a problem, too." Hero said. "We'll leave them on the station when it blows up."
"This is getting to be a snore-fest," Marsha said, yawning. "Come on York, there are better places than here."
"Uh, is it all right with you, I'm going to stay here to listen to the plan," York replied.
"All right, it's your boredom," the little girl replied, walking off.
"Now, onto the plan," Hero said.
"All right, we're going to have the Eds try to get Dreadzone officials to get them on another campaign or to go against Dr. Nefarious."
"Wait, you know what the tall creature is?" Rolf asked.
"How do you think I know all about you?" the teen replied. "Now, while everyone is busy with the Eds, the rest of Team Cul-de-Sac and me will go down into the core of the station and set up the explosives. While so, Noweg will go and hack the mainframe, setting up a system that will let out an EMP blast that will destroy everyone's collars. And then, Noweg will go and get transport ships that will get every gladiator off the station before it blows.
"In the meantime, James Guns here will join the Eds in the campaign, if they are assigned to one, or will help Noweg getting everyone off the station. York and Marsha will try to play along with the gig before we're ready to go, and then with one final salute, we will be on our way out of here and blowing up the station, officially ending DreadZone."
"So you want me to tell Marsha everything?" York asked.
"Yes."
"All right, fair enough," the muscle man said. "Listen, it might concern you later on, but I'll let you in on a secret."
"A secret?" Eddy said greedily.
"Although we don't have any details, it appears that Dr. Nefarious may have the Harbinger on him," York responded.
Everyone fell silent. The human children look at each other in confusion, while Hero, Noweg and James stare wide-eye in disbelief, especially James Guns.
"Yeah, it's true. Nefarious owns the Harbinger," said a familiar voice.
In the air vent above Kevin is the ever familiar eyes of Slim Cognito. "I thought that the rumors were false, before I actually saw him with it," the salesman said.
"The Harbinger?" James echoed. "Has they lost their minds? Who in the right mind will give the Harbinger to a mad scientist?"
"Apparently Gandolfini," Slim replied. "It's not to mention that the Eds have super weapons as well, since they can use them on him."
The bounty hunter grew very grim. "Uh, what super weapons do you have?" he asked.
"The RYNO, the Zodiac II, and the Cricket," Double D replied.
All of the blood is drain out of James' body. He knows that the end has come, and there standing in front of him are three children, with one of them is holding the super weapon that can destroy worlds.
"Tell me, did you ever upgrade those weapons up?" the bounty hunter asked, with his voice very dry.
"No?" Eddy replied.
"You mean that you don't have the RYNOCERATOR, the Zodiac II ∞ or the Locust?" James asked.
"Yes, we don't," the smart Ed replied.
Deadeye James let out a sigh of relief, regaining all of the blood he lost. "Thank goodness," he said. "I was afraid that if you three have the Locust, then we're screw beyond belief."
"What's so wrong with the Locust?" Eddy asked.
"Trust us kid, you don't want to know," Slim responded.
Suddenly, the group hears something stirring, and they turn to see Ed getting up from the broken table. He removes his helmet, showing a tear-stained, booger cover face with bloodshot eyes and a determined look on his face. Double D quietly motions for Ed to wipe his face, while the others look in disbelief by the confident look in his eyes.
"What are we waiting for?" the tall Ed asked.
"Well, nothing really," Hero replied, putting his mask holder back on. "Since that everyone knows of our plan, it's time that it is set into motion."
"I got no objections," York said. "Anyone else?"
Everyone shakes their head no. "Then it's time to get Operation Gladiatorial Escape operational!"
"For Sarah?" Jimmy offered.
He sticks his hand out, and everyone looks around to see who's in. Then, one by one, the hands are laid on top of Jimmy's and they all look at each other with the same determined look in their faces.
"For Sarah!"
OOO
From what they didn't know, there is an extra camera filming them, a private camera, sending the footage back to Gandolfini's office. The tion watches as the group is broken up and York and Noweg left to go back to wherever they came from. He first had a disappointed frown on his face before switching it to a small smile.
"So, those traitors think that they can escape from DreadZone, huh?" he said to himself. "Well, they thought wrong! That child thinks that he can break this station down, then he's got another thing coming. Of course, those Eds are more of a pest now that they're involve in this little scheme Mask Hero got going now, so I can give them what they are looking for.
"It's too bad that Deadeye James is still alive. I prefer him dead in the first place! I don't want the damned cops on my tail this whole time, especially when I'm getting close to completing my project. And York and Slim spill the beans on Nefarious' secret weapon. Those two are going to be hard to get rid of.
"And then there's my creation, Noweg! That traitor! He's going to get what coming to him! They all will get it! They all will!"
A knocking on the door stops Gandolfini's ranting and the door opens up for Dr. Nefarious to stroll on in. Next to him is a very small robot, looking very similar to the Exterminator's favorite star Clank, except the eyes are red. As the two walk in, the small robot walks very stiff, shooting off sparks as the duo comes to a stop in front of the desk.
"Uh, what exactly is wrong with this robot?" Gandolfini asked.
"May I present to you one of my creations," Nefarious said. "Klunk, say hello to Gandolfini."
The small raises a single finger and opens it mouth, but sparks continue to out and the head starts to spin around very fast.
"Yeah, it appears that Klunk still needs a program chip and some more structural repairs," the Exterminator said.
"More like you need to throw it in the trash," the tion said. "This thing is glitching more than Noweg on coffee."
"Look, Klunk needs to get a program chip," Nefarious said, putting his hands on the desk. "Now, are you going to give me one, or do I have to blow Klunk up in here and have you clean up the mess?"
Gandolfini thinks about the idea for a little bit. "What makes you think that I can trust you with either the Transmorpher or the Mechanical Reaper program?" he asked.
"Because Klunk here can help defeat the Eds, if necessary," Nefarious replied.
"Sausage!" Klunk stated, with the eyes of Gandolfini and Nefarious staring down to see the small robot dancing a weird spiraling jig.
"All right, take this."
The engineer takes the Transmorpher program from the desk and tosses it to Nefarious, and the robot catches it in his hand. He then puts his free hand on top of Klunk's head and opens up a hatch, revealing the brain to the robot. Nefarious places the program inside of a slot and waits for the program to launch inside of the robot, watching as Klunk changes right before him. As soon as the Transmorpher program is set, Klunk stops shooting sparks and begins to loosen up, before bringing his hands together and tapping his two fingers, letting out an evil laugh as well.
"Huh, so I guess I'm wrong about the trash part," Gandolfini said.
"Now you see what I mean," Nefarious replied. "Klunk just needs a program chip in him, and he will be back to normal."
The little robot jumps up onto the table and evilly glares into the tion. "Don't worry; Klunk here will make things all better," it said.
"Just remember that he is going to fight the Eds when necessary," the engineer said.
"Right," the Exterminator replied. "Come along Klunk, we got planning to do."
Klunk jumps off the desk and the two robots walk out of the room. Gandolfini got up and walks to the door, closing it and he walks back to his desk.
"It won't be long now," Gandolfini said. "I will soon have the Eds killed and everyone out of my way! Then, no one will stop my Transmorpher army!"
And with that, I have thrown an Omni-Wrench into this whole situation. Now that Gandolfini knows of the plan, what is there left to do?
OK, are you surprise to find out that Mask Hero is really a human all this time? I was hoping that he'll be the same race as Captain Qwark, but I wasn't sure how I was going to work the five-finger angle to Qwark's race. Nor for even that matter, what is Qwark's race?
And then I did mention a bit on Hero's past. Yes, I made it sound like a typical situation that sounds familiar to you all. I know I should say something about how did Hero got his masks, but all I can say is that during the time when Gandolfini began his work on Dreadzone X, Hero left the tion to go train, and that's how he got the masks.
And of course, I finally add Klunk into the story, after mentioning some time ago. Now that he have the Transmorpher program inside of him, who knows what I can do with him. Like I did with the most randomest line that Ed couldn't even think of: "Sausage!"
Of course, I like to say other things, but I must rather talk about the upgrade forms of the super weapons. Please note: when I was planning this, I was going for all the weapons, except for the super weapons, to be fully upgraded by the time we get to the end. But… that's never going to happen. Here's what will happen if the Eds did level up the super weapons.
The RYNOCERATOR… if you played Size Matters and/or Secret Agent Clank, you know what this gun does.
The Zodiac II ∞ will have a mushroom-like cloud effect if it's hold straight up. Due to the two extra generators it gains, plus the extra switchboards, the gun will fire more electricity from the cloud, giving it more range and damage. And if it is hold forward, it fires two – count them, two! – Holy hand grenades at once. Can anyone say "Holy hand grenade, Batman!" five times fast?
The Locust…
Stick around, because I will have Gandolfini tell how he started Dreadzone X. Oh, and please review, thank you.
