Chapter Three: The Bomber's Task
Bomberman threw out one more bomb out the door. As Bomberman was ready to jump, he heard Pommy's shrieks of terror from the back of the pod, "Pommy gonna die. Pommy's too important to die. Pommy never got his last meal. Myu myu."
"I don't have time for this: we got to leave now."
"Pommy hates heights. Pommy dies if Pommy jumps."
"Suit yourself," Bomberman jumped out the door.
"Bomberman, nnnooooooooo!!!" Pommy ran to the edge of the door and watched in shock as Bomberman went bouncing on steps made out of bombs. "Pommy better wait for Bomberman to reach the bottom, then Pommy teleport." A small piece of metal hit Pommy in the head, "Myu!" cried out the Pommy but that wasn't the least of his worries as the shield was shattering the space pod. "Pommy takes chances with highly explosive staircase." Pommy used his powers and teleported out of the ship just as it was crushed into hundreds of thousands of pieces. Bomberman was halfway down when he looked up as a pink cloud smacked him in the head. Pommy and Bomberman were sent tumbling down the bomb staircase. One of the metal shards from the pod landed tip first into the topmost bomb. The bomb staircase began to explode with Pommy and Bomberman still falling on it. As the heroes reached the bottom, the explosion caught up to them sending Pommy and Bomberman flying. Bomberman landed first and began to rub his aching head. Pommy proceeded after Bomberman accidentally head butting Bomberman in the back of the head. "What a rush for Pommy. Pommy was scared, Pommy was frightened . . . Pommy wants to do that again. Bomberman . . . Bomberman . . . where are you." Pommy looked down to see a half unconscious Bomberman underneath him, " This is no time for Bomberman to lay around. Pommy needs food."

The large craft had made its way to Bomber's Cove and began docking procedures. Fire Kong stayed close to his master. The shadowy figure pressed a flashing button. A monitor turned on. A fuzzy picture came in. "The shield is up, my liege. No one can escape and no one can enter. I await further instructions."
"You serve me well Dark Paladin. Camouflage the S.O.M. and guard them heavily. You and the other's have a key code to one of the S.O.M. Stay on your guard for Bomberman. Do not underestimate his powers. He is very strong."
"I shall, my liege." The transmission ended.
Kong looked up at his lord. He realized his master was angry, "Do you wish for Kong to smash something for you cause Kong can?" The shadowy figure did not answer. He looked onward. He pressed another button and the ship began to creak. The ship started to grow larger. It stopped just before it was bigger than Bomber's cove. Kong spoke to his master again, "Are you okay, master?"
The evil shadowy stood there. "Hhhaahhaahahahahhhaa!!" The shadowy figure threw his head back as a pair of metallic white wings broke through his long jacket, "YOU'RE MINE, BOMBERMAN!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bomberman saw a blurb of pink in front of him, "You okay, Bomberman?" The world seemed to spin, but Bomberman soon regained full consciousness. He was pretty badly scraped up, and his new guardian armor had been destroyed. He straggled to his feet. He looked down at Pommy for a while. After staring at him for a few moments, Bomberman replied, "…ouchies…" as he fell back down.
Bomberman awoke to find himself in a rundown shack. He sat up and rubbed the back of his head. He took a look around the shack. He saw a fireplace with a large pot over it. In the center of the room was a small round table, were Pommy sat with another person. Pommy looked over, "He's awake."
The other person stood up. He extended out his hand to help Bomberman up, "Long time, and no see, Bomberman."
Bomberman got to his feet, "Blue Bomber, is it really you?"
"It's me all right. But there's not much time for catching up, you're needed Bomberman."
"What's with that shield? It's covering the entire planet."
"It's entrapping us on Planet Bomber so we can't escape, and we can't get outside help. Four dark computers are running it. I don't know the exact location of each one, but they're under heavy guard."
"Who's behind this?"
"Not sure, but there trying to hunt you down. You must be pretty popular with them. Their main ship headed toward Bomber cove, but it won't do you any good to go there."
"Why is that?"
"Bomber's cove is surrounded by a similar shield. It's probably interconnected with the one that cover's our planet." Blue Bomber reached behind himself and pulled out a pair of shoes, "Bomberman, take my special kick boots with you. They might just help you."
"Thank you . . .could you do me a favor, Blue Bomber?"
"Anything for you, Bomberman."
Bomberman reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the ice stone, "Please guard this for me. It just might help you."
Pommy walked over to Bomberman, "Looks like Pommy has to save the world again." Bomberman just sighed. "Come on, Bomberman, Pommy's got some work to do . . . I feel . . . strange . . . MYU!!!" An eggshell surrounded Pommy. Bomberman fell back in shock. He walked over to the egg and began to touch it. The egg exploded open and Bomberman fell. A mysterious animal popped out, "Myu, myu. I evolved to P. Knuckles. I feel much stronger now, Bomberman. Pommy ready for action." Bomberman just shrugged his shoulders. Pommy turned toward Blue Bomber, "Thank you for helping Bomberman and for feeding Pommy. Pommy shall not fail in this task." Bomberman and Pommy exited the shack and headed north.
Blue Bomber waved good-bye to his friend and looked down at the gem he gave him. (I wonder what's so special about a gem). He concealed the gem in his jacket pocket. Blue Bomber was too distracted to realize that the gem began to glow.
