What if Susan was injured in the explosion?

"It's been an honour knowing you, Doc."

"The feelings mutual, my friend."

"I'll see you guys tomorrow for lunch." Said the blob.

"That's right, B.O.B." smiled Link.

"There'll be candy, cake, balloons,"

"Cake and balloons for lunch? It's gonna be the best day ever! I love you guys!" B.O.B beamed.

The main power core came loose from its restraints and began to fall. It was gonna land on the monsters. They closed their eyes, waiting for the inevitable, but it never came.

Opening their eyes again, they looked up and saw to their surprise and joy, Susan. She was big again and had caught the core, holding it above them.

"By Hawking's chair!" exclaimed Dr Cockroach.

Susan threw the core over the side and picked up her friends as the chamber went into complete disintegration.

She jumped over the side, holding her friends close to her, and fell through the ship.

As they fell, there was another explosion close by, the blast thrust Susan into the side wall and she hit her head. Her friends felt her grip getting loose, they looked to her and saw her eyes were closed and her head was bleeding.

"She's out cold!" said Dr Cockroach.

"Great," groaned Link, "So do we start saying our goodbyes again?"

They continued to fall to they reached the bottom of the ship, Susan's back struck the floor and smashed through to the open sky. Her friends fell out of her hands and she landed on a ledge, her friends struggling to find grip on the hull.

Her friends looked down at her unconscious form. The ship was shaking violently and falling to pieces, the ledge soon started to tilt and Susan's body was sliding with it.

"If she gets too close to the edge…" Dr Cockroach began.

B.O.B jumped for his friend as she started to slip over the side, he grabbed her and they went over the side.

"Susan! B.O.B!" Link shouted.

B.O.B had stuck to the ledge like a piece of chewing gum and was holding onto Susan's hand as they dangled thousands of feet above the ground.

B.O.B was coming unstuck, the weight was too much and he was about to lose grip. Dr Cockroach grabbed the end of the blob and held on with all his might, using his cockroach abilities to cling to the surface. Link then grabbed hold of the Doc as he to slipped over the side.

The chain of monsters was dangling precariously from the exploding ship. Susan's limp body swaying with the wind. Her weight was getting to B.O.B, his eye was on the verge of popping out.

Link was having a worse time, he was holding onto his friends with one hand and trying to grip the ledge with the other, and he was now down to his fingernails.

"Can't…hold…it…" he growled.

"What time did Monger say he'd be here?" asked B.O.B, "I haven't got a watch!"

"He said he wouldn't be here if he was dead!" said Dr Cockroach.

The ledge broke off and the monsters were now plummeting to the ground. Then a blur of orange swept them up and carried them away from the exploding ship.

"Or late." Came General Mongers voice from up ahead. He was riding the horn of a resurrected Insectosaurus.

"Insectosaurus, you're alive!" Link sad happily, "And you're a butterfly?"

The ship exploded behind them and Insecto carried them back to the streets of Modesto. Placing them in front of a gathering crowd, the Murphy's pushed to the front as their unconscious daughter was laid on the street.

"Susan! My god, Susan, are you okay? Speak to me!" cried her mother.

"She'll be okay, Mrs Murphy," said Dr Cockroach, "She's just out cold."

"If she hadn't come back for us, we'd all be as flat as a pancake!" said Link.

"Mmmm, pancakes!" B.O.B said dreamily.

"I'll get the meds to treat her," said Monger. "You guys go and get some rest, you've earned it after all that."

Derek Dietl made his way through, pushing people aside. "Excuse me, coming through. Fiancée coming through."

"She's know fiancée of yours!" said Link, "We've heard what you said to her!"

"Oh nonsense," snorted Derek, "We're a team, we get over the mistakes she's made. I've come here for an exclusive interview with her, now wake her up."

"She was knocked out," said Dr Cockroach crossly, "We can't just 'wake her up'."

"Of course you can, what kind of doctor are you?" Derek snorted.

The monsters were now looking daggers at him but he was to ignorant to realize.

"I've come for the interview that'll make my career and I'm not leaving without it."

Then Susan's arm moved across the ground and her head twitched, mumbling coming from her mouth.

"I think she's waking up!" said B.O.B.

"Of course she is, she recognises the voice of her dream guy." He said smugly.

Susan's hand stopped in front of Derek and then her index finger flicked up, sending him flying over the crowds and out of sight.

"Good-byee…Derek" she muttered.

Her friends and family were delighted, their friend, daughter, saviour, was coming back to them. She opened her eyes and saw everyone beaming at her. She smiled back weakly.

"So…did we win?"


The idea of 'What if Susan and Dr Cockroach were a couple?' has already been done, Story 8 is already based on that.
