ISSUE # 35:
SMACKS TO STOP A TRAIN WITH.
A summary is a summary, and generally speaking, this paragraph often features one. In the present issue however, we have decided to question if it's really needed, dear reader. Perhaps you would rather find a delicious cooking recipe here, or maybe a listing of the favourite taverns frequented by Nacho and Alvaro. Ah, well... this place is reserved for whatever you wanna suggest. Ciao.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROSBIFF: (observes) The G-King is activated, but that bugger is tough... what are our chances?
(G-King again blasts Cooler with some eye beams, which the alien manages to evade.)
COOLER: It's powerful, but I am faster... (jumps) I am here, little robot! Suck on this, horned tin-man! I am gonna unleash the heavens upon you! (ASTERIX: Sounds familiar...) Take THIS! (fires ki)
ROSBIFF: (explosion) The G-King has taken a brutal hit! How much more can its super armor resist?
ASSISTANT: Doc, I believe he's pissed off... (G-King's eyes glint) (Rocket-punches)
COOLER: Oops! (PLAF!) Urg! (ROSBIFF: He's grabbed him! It's over!) You haven't beaten me yet...!
(Another explosion, and after the smoke clears away, Cooler emerges in his final form.)
ROSBIFF: (0_0) (jaw drops)
NACHO: Hey, he has opened his mouth! (ALVARO: For the first time in all this series!)
(G-King doesn't even wait for another strike, he attacks Cooler with another eye beam.)
ROSBIFF: The G-King reacts brutally, and having no qualms about collateral damage! Such violence...
ASSISTANT: Well, this is a shonen manga, right? If you want fair fights, try reading Don Miki.
COOLER: Ha, if this is your best shot...! This is my final strike, you oversized toaster!
NARRATION: Quite some light-hours far from there...
N-VIII: We have arrived... this is the planetoid.
CHIQUILIN: Good... etto... can you find some safe and clear zone in order to land?
N-VIII: Don't worry, I know the place like my back hand, we'll go to a plain which was deforested earlier...
(The ship gets stuck in the undergrowth and they don't know just where it has landed.)
N-VIII: Er, it's incredible the speed at which the flora regrows in the vicinity, right?
CHIQUILIN: Come on, just admit you have gotten us lost! (VEGETAL: Like your back hand, yes...)
(We soon see our heroes travelling around the jungle to get to the crime scene, sickle in hand.)
CHIQUILIN: Well, I suppose that after several weeks of pruning and deforesting it our ship will be free from foliage and vines... we can safely leave it there, there is no way in hell someone will find it!
NARRATION: While a battle is going to start, another is about to cease...
AGENT: Attention, the fight stopped! Everyone behind the barrier! Let's see if they killed each other or what...
(The smoke clears -again- and Chungohan and Bidet appear bruised and thrashed.)
CHUNGOHAN: Arg... *pants*
BIDET: (teary eyes) *snifs* (cries) I am SO sorry...! (throws into his arms)
CHUNGOHAN: Ah, I am sorry too... (pats her) shall we turn a new leaf, then...?
AGENTS: Awww... (cry) So beautiful... (AGENT 2: Careful guys, the old man's here!)
ALVARO: Waaaaah...! (cries) I remembered the few times we are meeting recently...!
NACHO: (cries) And I am sorry for running late with my drawings' deadlines...!
ALVARO: (more crying) I am sorry for shouting at you in desperate moments...!
NACHO: And I'm sorry for lending you my 'Dark Knight'! (ALVARO: Did you think I didn't like it?) No, it's because I haven't seen it again in like... three years!
OMAKE VEGETAL: Bah, faggots...
NARRATION: We come back to Gragea Corp's battle field... arg, I feel so dizzy!
WILMA: What the fuzz's happening here?! (TAKATRANKS: (0_0) Cooool!)
GUARD: I haven't the foggiest, madam! See, I retire this very week, and I want nothing with those fools...!
COOLER: It's over! Now it's your turn, poor wretches! Huh? (G-King lifts him)
ROSBIFF: Good, our work has shown its worth, G-King is unstoppable! (ASSISTANT: I feel so proud...!)
VOICE: G-King, Recharge! (COOLER: Watch this pal, you're gonna crap your shiny metal pants!)
(Cooler expands his energy just like Vegetal did against the Rangers, growing huge.)
COOLER: Take that! I have expanded my energy and now I am as big as you! So let's rock!
WILMA: (arrives) Dad, what's this all about?!
ROSBIFF: Don't miss any detail, my girl, you will witness how my invention gives its best results!
COOLER: Enough crap! (rushes) (explosion)
(The explosion can be seen even in the city centre, where some policemen keep tabs.)
POLICEMAN: Another explosion, this time located in Gragea Corp's building! Shall we go there, sir?
CHIEF: Screw the Gragea Corp! Mister Patan's manor has top priority right now!
WILMA: (crawls outta rubble) Arg... anyone, go and check how's my kid doing!
VOICE: Lookie, madam, we are quite busy already looking for our missing livers...
COOLER: (stands up) I did it! The damm robot is finished! Now I'll sweep this place with everyone inside!
(G-King isn't done for yet! He stands up and grabs the alien with his only useable arm.)
COOLER: (zapped) Aaarg! Those loose wires...! Let me go, bastard! I must escapeee...!
ASSISTANT: (flash of lightning) What a flash...! Can't see a thing...!
GUARD: Get everybody here behind the perimeter's barrier! If I can see where the heck is the perimeter...!
(The smoke clears for the umpteenth time in this issue, and they look at a roasted alien.)
ROSBIFF: He did it! He has reduced the monster! In more than one way... G-King has triumphed! My invention worked, after all this jazz! On the fifth try, but it DID work!
NARRATION: The night comes over a far away world's skies...
N-VIII: Well, I finally pinpointed our location. We're several kilometres away from the place where we first landed. Tomorrow we will go there. (VEGETAL: Good grief...)
DISCOLO: If that guy is just like N-VIII described him, we are in for a tough battle to beat. It may be a really weird case... what if we are trying to face a legendary Puyajin?
NARRATION: Next day, lunch time...
N-VIII: There's the backwater town where my boy and I came to help! That guy came from nowhere, made all citizens flee in terror and began devastating everything he found...
CHIQUILIN: Where must he be?
N-VIII: I can't sense any trace of him. It's very possible he fell into a dormant state in wait for new opponents. Let's investigate and look for any might-be survivors...
(They enter town, it happens to look like those ghost villages seen in western films.)
CHIQUILIN: There isn't a soul here...
N-VIII: Let's split up to find someone who knows what happened. (VEGETAL: Bah, this seems OK Corral...)
DISCOLO: I feel a slight energy source... come with me, guys. (takes Chiquilin)
N-VIII: Good, then I will take these two this way...
(Then, Discolo and Chiquilin will search for survivors, while XVIII and Vegetal check the fight scene.)
DISCOLO: (walking) I have detected a presence there, maybe it's a survivor.
N-VIII: I am sensing thermal markings around here. Surely they have hid away inside cellars and such...
(Discolo and Chiquilin are investigating when Regular Brolly appears before them.)
BROLLY: Etto, misters, have you seen the rest of this town's people around?
DISCOLO: Who are you? A native of this town, perhaps?
BROLLY: Yes, well... I think. I live here since several months ago, but I remember nothing before that.
CHIQUILIN: Then you don't know where the people are, either?
BROLLY: Hum, no... thing is, they don't usually leave the village if they don't plan on going to gather mushrooms, and right now it's not the season, so I can't tell you for sure.
(Vegetal blasts open a rusted door and they enter to check what hints could be found.)
N-VIII: I only asked you to blast the LOCK... well, this is a sorta cellar... hellooo! Any one here? (darkness) Bah, I can't see a thing... let's adjust our visors to night-vision.
(They see a horrible sight... many rotting corpses fill the room, more than it can hold.)
N-VIII: AAAAAAH! It's horrible! This is full of corpses... like a communal grave!
VEGETAL: Cool!
NVIII: All those bodies have been much time here... maybe since I left... what the heck happened while I was gone? Did that monster wiped ALL life out of this planet or what?
NARRATION: Alleviating some tension from the scene, let's return to Earth...
WILMA: What can be roaming through his mind?
ROSBIFF: Right now, his cold and calculating mind must be analyzing all possible ways of killing us...
COOLER: I want to pee...
(The alien is enclosed in a test-tube tank, filled with electrified water and reinforced glass.)
WILMA: Do you really think this recipient is safe? After such battle, we can't underestimate his skills...
ROSBIFF: Worry not, the tank is filled with a no-toxic super conductor fluid, a constant electric current keeps his defenses at zero... we will study his organs and locate his focal points of energy...
(Pause to take breath, and continue.)
ROSBIFF: When G-King is fixed and reformatted, we will use it as a base platform to develop some experiments... finally, the key to the space warriors' power will be able to be synthesised...
