Chapter Thirty-Eight: Molting, BBQ Style
/---- -- ------------ -------- ---- ------- /----- ------- ---- ----------/
Eva pulled away from her embrace with Cake as she heard the thud from behind them.
"Err, Cake? You know what we said about us… doing it?" She asked nervously.
"Yeah, why?" Cake asked, oblivious to the large nuclear tank speeding towards his back.
"Well… We… didn't…" She said, staring at the ground.
"What do you mean we-" And then Cake turned around. He stood for a moment, looking at the enormous tank with a confused expression on his face. Confusion soon turned to realization, and then horror.
"Hang on, that's Stepping Doom!" Cake finally 'revealed'.
"Well done, Cake!" Eva yelled sarcastically, before shoving him over, millimeters away from Stepping Doom's tracks.
"Come on, Cake, get on the bike!" She roared, hopping into the driver's seat. Cake obeyed, skipping gleefully into the side car.
"Okay, for some reason, I seem to have a bag with no bottom, and it's filled with rockets!" Cake yelled, used to having infinite ammo in minute storage space (buy the EA Infinite Ammo, Infinite Comfort Bag, out now!) by now.
"So just… drive towards Stepping Dom, and I'll shoot stuff." Eva looked alarmed, before Cake qualified it with a "but not you!" And so, Molting abused Stepping Doom's inbuilt loudspeaker, yelling at our incompetent hero and heroine duo.
"HA HA HA, CAKE! YOU DIDN'T REALLY THINK A LITTLE WATER WOULD STOP ME, DID YOU?"
"Well, I obviously did, because otherwise I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of-"
"SIIIIILLLEEEEENNCCCCEEEEEEE!" Molting roared, accidentally slipping onto the control panel, sending a random rocket flying across the sky.
"Ahem." Molting continued. "ANY-WAAAY, I AM NOW GOING TO CRUSH YOU BOTH! MWU-HA-HA! I'M GOING TO-" He was interrupted by a rocket to the front of his beautiful tank. Slightly stunned, he attempted to start where he had been interrupted.
"Okay, I AM GOING TO-" You can guess what happened next, right? And so the three titans entered into battle, with Cake and Eva a formidable team. Cake's rockets did, surprisingly, cause damage to the nuclear tank, causing Molting to jump out of it after about five minutes. He inhaled and exhaled deeply, before growling and standing upright.
"Very good, Cake!" He sighed evilly.
"Hey, what about me?" Eva demanded.
"Shush, you!" Cake hissed, glad to finally be getting some compliments.
"BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" Molting yelled over Cake and Eva's argument. He ripped the cables out of Stepping Doom's cockpit, and wrapped them around his arms.
"Don't try this at home, kids!" He growled, pointing at those of you readers who are under ten. All one of you. "And you, scientists, don't question what I'm about to do. Righhhhttt…." He sighed, before somehow becoming one with Stepping Doom, and controlling it. He charged it towards Cake and Eva, who split up.
"I'll distract him!" Eva yelled, before… gesturing… at Molting and his tank. "GO!" She yelled at Cake, before being chased in an enormous circle around the battleground, about twenty times…
/---- -- ------------ -------- ---- ------- /----- ------- ---- ----------/
Two hundred and eighty three rockets from Cake later, of which nine had hit their target; Molting seemed pretty… well, finished. He began to stand up, before coughing and falling down onto the 'roof' of Stepping Doom.
"I- I-" He spluttered, before it started raining. "Uh-oh…" Was all Molting could manage, before seven thunderbolts struck him, one after the other. As he was turned to dust by the final blow, the small pile of ash that was swept off of the top of Stepping Doom was all that remained of the electric Colonel. Poor guy.
