I do not own Bomberman. Konami owns it.
MM:DM S2 Ch9...
Shiro slowly turned away from Buggle.
"Taking on an apprentice suddenly wasn't a smart move, but it was honestly in the right direction. If Cheeryyuki never joined Kuro and I in fighting Mook and 'Smuggler', my cover would have been blown, we would have been down by one, and more people could have died."
Arc 1: The Cruel Tactician
Inside the apartment...
Shiro entered the building casually, looking around in interest as he searched for Cheeryyuki and whoever that child was.
Facade, facade, facade...
What would he ever do without it?
The Explosive Bomberman could hear the area surrounding him. Happy music blaring, happy people chatting, happy everything. It was beginning to sicken him that his restlessness wants him to go already to MuryaNemi and begin a murderous spree just looking for that robot. If he were to corner it, lynch the damn thing. If it has him cornered, test out one of the untested new moves of his that have the power to possibly kill both himself and the android.
"..ou been doing, sis?" Shiro perked up at that, finding and tailing Cheeryyuki and the child while looking down in contemplation. He weaved expertly, dodging and avoiding everything that could have hit or bumped into him. The child was talking to Cheery about something.
"... Not bad, not good. *sigh* I already got injured from a piece of metal and I still have a mission to complete." the tailgater also sighed as he stalked the two to make sure nothing bad happens. He doubted something good will happen right now. "This is my first mission already Gaki, I don't want to waste it."
The two girls stopped in front of one of the rooms when Cheery opened the door. Letting the child in, the decoy closed and locked the door.
Shiro shook his head in disdain as he went outside to break in through any nearby window.
He found one near the restaurant he was at a few days ago and climbed through, not making a single sound. He set his foot down on a flat surface and... Slipped! *THUD!*
Inside with Cheeryyuki...
The two sisters heard the thud somewhere in their flat clear as a bomb was set off. Worried that there might be an intruder, Cheery approached the room where the noise came from, summoning a cracked bomb. There was a bit of rustling and a squeak in there until she opened the door...
She could see her bed, covered in a few ashes and old wet spots from seldomly drooling in her sleep.
Cheery's drawer was covered in old drawings she made of herself and her sister on top of Lobber's Mountain as well as the letter that brought her into this mess in the first place.
Her dirty clothes were all over the place, with an orange skirt of hers laying on top of a large mound.
Strange...
Cheery removed her skirt from the mound and was surprised to see Bomberman. She jumped back a little before realizing that he was knocked-out. Maybe waking up Bomberman later so they can head to the Jetter-Guard Tower will help...
Jetter-Guard Tower, YuYu Village, Planet Bomber...
Shiro was emotionally distant as Shout and Birdy debriefed him. It unnerved his higher-ups that he was stuck in his acrimonious persona, even when they tried to calm him down. When asked about anything important, he gave a slightly forced response.
"Why is everything so complex now?" Shout muttered to herself. The mission she gave Shiro became more complicated than ever. Sure, she regrets constantly sending Shiro to missions that should have killed him dozens of times over, but he's one of the most experienced and effective agents since Mighty. "Given the data you gave us, we may as well have you go dark."
"That's what I've been trying to say." the Explosive Bomberman grunted, hardening his stare. "Once I go dark, don't let anyone get in my way. I promise to make it a massacre."
They made him this way and know they know it. A mission is a mission though, and they need to complete their tasks whatever means necessary. The mentality is damned, Bomberman will complete it.
"Shiro." Birdy began as they began finishing up the debrief. "We think it'd be best if you make yourself a weapon only you can use."
Shiro nodded, pulling out the nezertine ore he obtained from Yellow. "I will. I'm also bringing 0019 with me. I don't know if my family will search for me, but I'll need a decoy just in case. I want this to be done as soon as possible."
Nodding in hesitation, the two allowed him to get Cheery and himself ready before they go dark. They took notes as to what happened and prepared to send them to Dr. Ein and Badge when they received word of another attack on MuryaNemi Village that forced all of its inhabitants into their homes. They looked at each other and chose to leave it to Shiro to spend all his anger on.
As Shiro went down the halls, he nodded to Cheery to come with him to the Weapons Development area.
At the RnD...
Shiro, in his Bomberman personae, angrily types what the new abilities will be and what will the materials be used for.
Please insert materials into the converter.
He inserted the nezertine ore into a tube. Said tube engulfed the ore in orange light, altering the shape of the malleable substance like clay. It grew into a cube that split into dozens of the same shape and size. They all began morphing into bombs but began merging into each other, collapsing into three chips that could fit and work with the white chimera's wristbands. A thin layer of fiberglass coated the three, with a thin strip of wrapping showing a falling cube, a red circle, and a circle with a ring surrounding it.
New Chip: Pressure Block Arena
New Chip: Red Bomb
New Chip: Copy Clone
Cheeryyuki looked at the chips in confusion. They looked plain to begin with, only being charcoal gray and green for Pressure Block Arena, red and yellow for Red Bomb, and platinum white and sky blue for Copy Clone.
Bomberman collected the three chips and stored them in one of his vest's pockets for safekeeping.
Turning to Cheery, he motioned her to follow him to the motobomber so they can travel to MuryaNemi as soon as possible...
With Smuggler and Dr. Mook...
The two men gave cruel smiles after they released their first batch of forty-one robots. Their goal right now is to kidnap as many villagers as possible and force them to work in their factory non-stop. More robots, more money, get slaves, more profit.
The lengths Mook wishes to see how far they could go in doing things illegally and the greed of Smuggler wanting to know what their greatest creation meant to destroy their oppositions would be their defeat. They do not care. They never did.
DCR PB005 'BIGARON' COMPLETION: 99% AWAITING COMPLETION AUTHORIZATION...
MuryaNemi Village...
Screams could be heard in the town around them. As though people were being impaled by harpoons and being dragged elsewhere, locked into cages. While there were numerous disappearances, the general populous locked themselves into their homes, fearing for their lives.
Shirobom and Cheeryyuki came barreling into the fray on the motobomber, expecting to have lots of hostility in the area after what happened yesterday. Straight into where the commotion started.
"Cheery!" Shiro began as he noticed that large empty unmarked vehicles were blocking the streets like soft walls. He stopped the motobomber and got off, letting Cheery pilot the ride. "Do you know how to make Layer bombs?"
"I can!"
"We gotta split up and blow up those vehicles! MuryaNemi's roads are blocked, so we need to use their pedestrian tunnel system to go on after we take down all of the threats here!"
"Got it Bomberman!" Cheery called out as Shiro went into the fray as Bomberman to blast an entrance for the motobomber.
That was what they spent the next two minutes doing, blowing away the vehicles so they could make way. Everything went well, with Cheery getting used to the task quickly.
Bomberman kept blasting the vehicles away, making sure that the debris does not hit any of the sturdy buildings the two are using as Pressure Blocks. Stopping when he noticed that there was a small clearing, he took the chance to explore the area before he continues.
Everything changed when he looked at one of the apartments. There seemed to be civilians placing signs warning him that there was a threat in the area. Bomberman did not notice until it was too late...
A harpoon tried to pierce his spine, only to be blocked by the leotard and exoskeleton underneath. Bomberman coiled from the impact and sprung back up to face his opponent. The harpoon that struck him reeled back to its owner, a deceptively cute robot.
A small wormhole to another dimension opened up, with its viewer perturbed at the sight.
Bomberman noticed that the symbol on the robot has the same design as the piece of metal he extracted from Cheery's back.

The harpoon was bloody and even revealed an impaled corpse behind a vehicle. Screams were heard once more, this time close enough to hear harpoons dragging civilians into the vehicles and driving off to somewhere. Bomberman began hyperventilating. These robots were kidnapping and killing innocent people...
He quickly summoned a bomb and swung it around the robot like a lasso, reeling it before his feet to give it the punishment he knows it deserves.
"You will never be able to kill anymore Jetters while I am still alive! I WON'T LET YOU KILL ANYONE EVER AGAIN! BOMB LYNCH!" Shiro gave a loud roar as he violently ripped the fuse off the bomb, using its friction to detonate the explosive point-blank...
The pent-up anger, grief, and denial within Prince Shirobom, the Explosive Bomberman, brought forth a sense of rage that kept his spirits low for years. This is the story where Bomberman became The Cruel Tactician, Benevolent Destroyer, a One-Man Battalion, and Wrath of the Heavens; loved and loathed by many for his heroic, but often malicious deeds.
The small wormhole closed without a trace not showing who or what peered out at that moment.
MM: DM S2 Ch9...
Shiro's eyes flashed between his personae and sighed angrily. His dimensional counterparts were slightly unnerved at that.
"I think after this happened, things went downhill whether I liked it or not... Even now I still don't feel the same."
Chapter 5 end...

There's gonna be a special chapter that will be released in almost all mainline Simply Stupid stories on November 14 (The anniversary of Mega Man: DeafMatch). Those are SB Rangers, MM:DM S1 and 2, Off Topic, and Pokemon Misadventures: Watts and Ash. Why Stupid Bomberman Rangers instead of Super Bomberman Rising? It's because the special takes place after MM:DM S2, which was right after MM:DM S1 and Stupid Bomberman Rangers.
That's all for now, folks!
