Slasha Blaid Saga: Chapter 55 – Another Team Victory

Shortly after the events of chapter 54, Amber, Kyle, Alex and Kevin were standing in the intersection of a corridor.

"I guess it would be time to get out of here, huh?" Amber asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get going in a sec." Kyle said.

"I'll come with you then." Kevin replied.

Kyle and Kevin turned round and took off down the corridor. Amber then looked at Alex. "What about you?"

"Guess I'll make my own way out, and I still don't like you."

"Then why didn't you say anything earlier?"

"Didn't wanna ruin the moment, Prison Lane sounded pretty good."

In another area of the space station, the Lounge members shot down a wall where several containers of sprite were kept. The four of them then got out of the ship and up to the sprite.

"Collect as much as you can." Visualpun said.

Visualpun, Dizi and HCD then collected some of the sprite, Rush and Kat appeared and jumped into the ship then took off down the hallway.

"Did our ride just get jacked?" HouseCallDoc asked.

"It sure did." Visualpun replied.

At the top of the base, Mads still had his arm cannon aimed at the robot.

Slasha laughed quietly seconds later. "Considering the situation here, I might as well get some things out in the open before I kill you." Slasha randomly took out the outfit she wore at Smal High and a pink wig. "Do these clothes remind you of anyone?"

Mads gasped. "You kidnapped Summer as well?"

"No! I am Summer."

"Oh, now some things start to make sense."

"Indeed they do, seriously, who has a name called Summer Faycasion?"

Mads shrugged. "I don't know, who has a name called Crystal Clear?"

"…Touché"

"So all that before was a lie, with the anime stuff and everything?"

"No, hanging out with you and those other guys was pretty fun, I have to admit. Those two girls can be quite funny together sometimes. Also yes, I really do like anime and play video games, I also danced to Athletic from Yoshi's Island earlier today."

"Oh yeah, that theme is pretty good."

"I know, right? By the way, I really don't wear glasses when I'm reading manga."

"Oh well, I still like the fake you and the new you."

"That's good to know."

Raizor waved at her. "Hello? Can we get on with this please?"

"Oh right. Sorry Mads but this has gotta be done, now hold still while I crush you."

"By the way, how did you get transferred into their class anyway?"

"...I made the teacher an offer he couldn't refuse."

"...That's good enough for me..."

The Sonic 2 Final Boss theme started playing as Mads moved about firing at the robot while it tried to crush him with its tentacles. As he continued to move Raizor shook his head to the beat. "Y'know, I've always loved this tune, but that final boss on Sonic 2 was a pain. You had to beat two bosses in a row and you had no rings."

"But the first boss was more like a mini-boss." Slasha said. "Although I admit it was kinda easy for the final boss to kill you."

Sonny, Shade, Jawo and Blade were fighting David and Yukiko in one room. Yukiko tried to punch Sonny who jumped and then kicked her, sending her flying back and landing on a red button.

Several speaker boxes around the space station then said, "Self destruct sequence, activated! 5 minutes until detonation!"

"…Whoops." Sonny said quietly.

Crystal and Amber were walking down one hallway and heard the speaker box. "We should be getting out of here now." Crystal said.

"Yeah." Amber replied. She then saw Ruby and Max run past. "Y'know, Ruby is pretty strong with those powers for a ten year old."

"She's eleven now…since December…the 7th."

"K."

Meanwhile Mads, Raizor and Slasha all heard the voice at the top. "Self destruct?" Mads asked.

Raizor shrugged. "I have no idea what I was thinking putting that down."

"If push came to shove, I would have detonated the place anyway." Slasha said.

"You would risk blowing yourself up to win?" Raizor asked.

"If it's necessary then yes, I would." Slasha then looked around. "Hey, where did Mads go?"

"What kind of name is Mads?" Raizor asked.

"It's Danish!" Mads yelled from behind the robot as he charged his arm cannon. He then fired a huge white beam moments later which made him slide back as he fired. It hit the middle of the robot and caused it to breakdown and crumble as it fell to the ground. Raizor and Slasha rolled out from the robot moments after it hit the ground.

Mads then walked up to Slasha and pointed his arm cannon at her. Slasha looked up and then smiled. "Nice shot, Mads."

"Thanks."

"You gotta admit that song earlier was pretty badass and it was fun at the same time."

"Yeah, I guess it was." The place then started shaking and sparks appeared in a few areas. "I'd best get going; it was great getting to know you, Slasha." He said before running off.

"Same to you, Mads." Slasha replied.

Mads got into the lift then took it down to the floor below. Raizor then got up. "C'mon, we've only got four minutes now, and there might not be enough time to stop the detonation but there's another ship around here which we can use to get out." Raizor and Slasha ran to a lift across the room and got in.

In the hallways below, Rush and Kat were in Rush's ship driving down one of the corridor's when Mark appeared and waved at them. They stopped by him and he climbed in. Down another hallway Shade, Jawo and Blade were running along knocking robots out the way while Shade talked to Rush using his suit. Afterwards the three of them stopped.

"Alright guys, Rush only has a certain number of seats in his ship so I don't think we'll have room for you guys." Shade said.

"No problem." Jawo' replied. "I'll be making my own way out anyway."

"Guess I'll be seeing you guys around, sometime."

"Take care, Shade." Jawo' said before running off down one corridor. Shade then looked at Blade who offered a handshake. Shade then shook his hand and moments later they both ran off in different directions.

Down one corridor, Kyle and Kevin were running down one path when David and Yukiko came around the corner. David grabbed the jar of paradox as he went past while saying, "I'll take that, thank you." Kyle and Kevin looked back and shrugged then carried on running.

Three minutes later, Sonny, Shade, Mads, Rush, Kat and Mark were already in Rush's ship. Down one corridor they drove up to Crystal, Amber, Ruby and Max. They climbed in and Ruby sat on Crystal's lap as they took off. They got to a large room moments later, ascended the ship and sped down one tunnel towards the exit. As they entered the tunnel, Tentallix came up through the floor and slowly rised then followed them down the tunnel.

Down the tunnel as Tentallix came towards the ship, Rush saw the robot coming towards them. "Umm, am I seeing things or is there a four armed robot chasing us?"

The others looked behind them to see Tentallix grab the ship with one of its tentacles. Shade then sighed. "Doesn't that thing ever give up?"

Crystal then got up. "I'll handle this, besides I still owe him one." Crystal got out of the ship and onto the roof as Tentallix climbed up onto the roof. Tentallix then tried to grab Crystal with one of its tentacles; Crystal dodged it then jumped over the second and punched Tentallix off the ship. Tentallix quickly flew back and hit the back of the ship, making it shake a bit.

Crystal then fired many blasts of psychokinetic energy which it dodged. Tentallix then opened its red eye wide and started firing blasts of energy which hit the ship damaging it slightly as Crystal avoided some of the blasts. Rush then threw a bomb up to Crystal which she threw at Tentallix, knocking it back a few feet. Tentallix then flew forward, sideways with its tentacles out and attacking the top of the ship while Crystal moved out the way.

Tentallix then rised above the ship and as Crystal jumped up it flew down and hit the ship, almost knocking it down to the ground. Crystal landed back on the ship afterwards. As Tentallix tried to attack again with one of its tentacles, Crystal jumped up and fly kicked it in the red sphere shaped eye, pushing her foot in deep and severly damaging it. Tentallix flew back and to the ground as the base began to explode. The others reached the exit as a blaze of fire came down the tunnel and covered Tentallix completely.

David and Yukiko were on a water board made by Yukiko, half a mile away from the space station. "I hope Raizor and Slasha are alright." Yukiko said.

"I'm sure they made it out." David replied.

Raizor and Slasha were in a blue ship a bit further away from the space station as it exploded. "Well that's a shame." Raizor said. "Oh well, I didn't have much use for that place."

"Yeah…thanks."

"For what?"

"A number of things, your choice what those things are."

In the water, the Lounge members were swimming while carrying a big bag of sprite, Visualpun then noticed Raizor's ship very far away. "Seems he's trying to make a getaway, Dizi, take out the engine."

"Ok, but trying to see while shooting lasers out of your eyes is pretty hard…" He started firing lasers from his eyes towards the ship, eventually he hit the engine of the ship and it slowly started to brake down as gas appeared at the back and it slowly descended as it shook.

"Great…" Raizor said as he sighed. "Looks like we're going down."

"I know, I'll just use the prism of teleportation to get us out of here!" Slasha said.

"The what?"

Slasha looked around and couldn't find the prism. "What? It should be here, I had it just earlier! Unless…" Slasha then frowned. "Darn that Zulu…"

Zulu was sitting on his bike at Legna Island watching the ship go down as he laughed and SA2 was swimming in a river behind him. He then took out the prism of teleportation. "There may be no "I" in "Team", but there's an "M" and "E" for "ME"!" The prism then flashed and he and the bike suddenly vanished.

In Rush's ship, Crystal climbed back in, Ruby moved and Crystal sat down then Ruby sat on her lap again. Crystal then pumped her fist into the air as she said, "Yes! That was awesome! Totally worth coming for."

"Yeah! And to celebrate, we'll all go to Mads place, since he's got food." Sonny said.

"This hedgehog knows what he's talking about." Max replied.

"So what happened to everyone else?" Rush asked.

Shade took a deep breath. "Jawo went with the rest of the Lounge members, Blade made his own way out, same with Zoom and Felicia."

"Also Kyle, Kevin and Alex apparently left together; Jessica made it out during the five minute countdown." Amber said.

At Raizor's ground base, the other robots besides the blue one were round a table playing cards. The blue robot walked in and up to the others. "Hey guys, apparently that space station exploded, but Raizor and Slasha are alright, they made it out but they crashed the ship somewhere…anyway, deal me in guys." He said before sitting down.

Later the others arrived at the HQ. Sonny, Shade, Crystal, Amber, Mads, Ruby, Max and Mark quickly waved goodbye before leaving the HQ. They then arrived at Mads' house ten minutes later. His dad was in the living room and on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

"Hey dad." Mads said as he entered. "Just brought some friends over, can we use this room?"

"Alright." His dad said as he got up. "Juts make sure no-one divides by zero."

"Got it." Mads said before his dad left the room.

Max sat down and turned over the channel on the TV. It then showed Espio and Vector at a bell tower with a rope in the middle of them. Espio jumped forward and kicked Vector. Vector then ran forward and knocked Espio back with his tail. He then ran up to Espio and tried to bite him but Espio jumped to the side and threw a shuriken at him. Vector dodged it and it cut the rope, holding a big bell. The bell then fell down onto Charmy who was standing down there.

Espio and Vector both looked down then Vector said, "It makes no sense!" as a laugh track played. Mads mom then came in from outside with a large package and put it down near Sonny. "It seems you've got mail, Sonny." She then walked off.

"Oh boy, mail!" He then looked at the package strangely. "Wait, I hardly ever get mail, seems suspicious…oh well, I'm gonna open it anyway." As Sonny opened the large package Felicia popped out and took out her claws as she yelled, "Surprise!" Sonny then moved a second before she stabbed him with her claws.

He then ran around the room with her chasing him. "Hey Shade, a little help here." Sonny said as he continued to avoid her attacks. Shade was sitting down reading a newspaper. He then said, "You're on your own." Mads then sat on the couch and Max turned the channel over. "Yes! The show is starting!" Mads exclaimed.

"What show is this?" Amber asked.

"Chaomon."

On the screen, Sonic was walking in a grassy field with a red and white cap on. Shadow ran up to the area wearing a blue and white cap and pointed at Sonic. "Sonic, I challenge you to a Chaomon battle!"

Sonic nodded. "Alright, let's do this." Sonic took out a light blue and white ball with a chao head symbol on the front; the background then turned orange with lines going across the screen as he moved the tip of the cap to the side, he then threw the ball as he said, "Go Hero chao!" As the ball hit the ground it shot out a beam of light and a hero chao emerged from the ball. Shadow then threw his ball and a dark chao emerged from the ball. The Pokemon theme song then started playing as they ran over to each other.

"Go for the crotch!" Sonic shouted. The hero chao then attempted to kick the dark chao in the crotch. Shadow then said, "Dark chao, counter with belly flop!" As the hero chao tried to kick him the dark chao jumped up and tried to land on the hero chao. "Hero chao, stop, drop and roll!" The hero chao then dropped to the ground and rolled out the way as the dark chao landed. As the hero chao got up the dark chao quickly punched it, the hero chao quickly countered with a punch and they continued attacking each other.

Crystal watched for a while before saying, "I consider this animal cruelty…"

Felicia was still chasing Sonny and managed to trip him up using her tail. She then jumped on top of him and raised her palm in the air.

"Oh geez, this is gonna be game over for me man, this is gonna be game over..."

"This is game over for you, Sonny, time to die."

"This is it, this is game over."

"Game over."

"Game over!"

"Gaaaaaame oveeeeeer!"

Ruby then walked up to Felicia and started scratching her behind her right ear. Felicia closed her eyes and purred for a short while as she did this. Rush and Mark were in a corner watching then Mark looked at Rush. "Anyway dude, I need one of those suits you made for Mads."

"Why?"

"Why do you think? My power sucks compared to the other powers people got, I didn't even get the standard super strength which most people seem to have. When can you make me a suit so I can help out more besides just healing?"

"I don't know, maybe several months?"

"This can't wait several months!"

"I'll get to it by then; it's just a lot of work."

"This can't wait several months!"

Rush placed his hands on his shoulders. "You need to calm down!"

"Fine, I'll wait the months."

"That's better."

Amber thought for a second and then turned to Crystal. "Hey, you know what's ironic? Your chosen superhero name is Psychic Angel yet your super form is like a demon form."

"Now that you mention it that is pretty ironic…"

The doorbell then rang and Crystal opened the door to see Kevin there. "Hey, how did you know I was here?"

"Jessica told me, how did she know you'd be here? It's best if you don't know."

"Ok." She then looked over at Amber who held up a sign saying discovery channel and sighed. "Hey Mads, mind if I play Metroid Prime 3 up in your room?"

"Go ahead."

Crystal went up to Mads room and Kevin followed her. Ruby was still scratching Felicia behind her ear while Sonny slowly snuck away. As Sonny reached the front door Felicia opened her eyes and stood up then pointed at Sonny. "Hey, I'm not through with you yet!" Ruby then started scratching behind her ear again; Felicia began to purr again but then quickly moved away from Ruby. "Stop doing that!" Sonny quickly ran out the house and Felicia followed him.

In Mads room, Crystal was playing MP3 while Kevin was using the computer. Kevin then turned round to her. "So I guess today was pretty fun, huh?"

You know, that space station full of bad guys and the place blowing up and stuff."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"I already know about your psychokinetic powers."

"You do? Since when?"

"Like two months ago, when your parents were out and I walked into your room and you were changing into that other outfit."

"Oh...I was hoping you would think it was a costume. Also, how did you get onto that space station?"

"Well that girl asked if I wanted to play her at monopoly so I went with her, she was surprisingly good, I've never played someone who got both Park Lane and Mayfair on their first go, I'm sure she was cheating..."

"Yeah...so how did you find out?"

"Oh yeah, Kyle tells me a lot of things anyway, I've known about his ice powers for months plus Amber once blurted it out, although I already knew."

"...And you're fine with that?"

"Yeah, I think it's awesome. By the way, that demon girl who beat the big fiery demon many months ago..."

"Yep, that was me."

"...Can I see the form?"

"No. Besides the moon needs to be out anyway."

"I see, so if the moon comes out then will you show me?"

"I guess. Normally, with these powers you'd think I'd be the type of person to say stuff such as "I just want to be normal" but I don't, I like doing what I do. I get to visit places, fight many bad guys and loads of stuff, and I wouldn't change that for anything."

"Well good for you. One thing that's been bugging me is, what's with this discovery channel business everyone seems to be talking about?"

"That's what I'm wondering, try looking it up."

"Yeah, sure." Kevin looked up discovery channel and clicked on a link which brought up a video. Both of their eyes widened in shock shortly into the video. "Wow..." Crystal said.

"Weird stuff..." Kevin replied.

"Indeed." Crystal said as she nodded.

Downstairs, Amber walked over to Mads who sighed. "What's up with you?"

"The fact that a friend turned out to be an enemy, a cool enemy none the less but still an enemy. Now who am I gonna talk about anime with?"

"Yes, it was a shame Summer turned out to be Slasha, you can never trust those pink haired people, I tells ya...besides, I always thought you were gay."

"And why would you think that?"

"Well you seem to have a lot of pink stuff."

"That doesn't make me gay, that just...I got nothing."

"Two, you seem to just play as girls in RPG's."

"That doesn't have to do with anything, and that seems a little sexist."

"Plus, you've never tried to hit on me or anything."

"Because I think of you as more of a guy than a girl, a feminine guy."

"Whatever, I'm gonna put on that credits song." Amber randomly took out a CD player and put on the Sonic 3 staff credits. Amber then sat down on the couch and said, "It just can't be over until the credits roll."

"You'd be mads to not play the credits."

At night, Raizor and Slasha were at the Antarctic standing on a large platform of ice floating over the freezing water. They were at different sides of the ice standing with their backs turned.

After a few moments Raizor sighed. "Great, this is what I get for leaving you in charge."

"Stop complaining, you still got the old base."

"Yeah but the E.V.I.L Corporation paid for that."

"Who?"

"Never mind. Anyway, can't you get us out of here with that suit?"

"Its only got 2 percent power left, and there isn't a place for miles, it seems we'll be stuck here for a very long time."

"Well that's just great..."

They stood in silence for a few moments, Slasha then said something. "...Is it over?"

"Not till a fish jumps." A fish then jumped up and back in the water a second later. "Damn it..."
