Chapter Five: Enter the Creature
Bomberman closed up the fountain entrance. He then looked around the town searching for a sign of movement. Pommy stood near Bomberman, "This place seems almost dead. Pommy thinks Bomber should search inside that large building." Pommy pointed toward the Town Hall.
Bomberman looked around again and decided to take Pommy's advice. They walked up to the large double door, but it was sealed tight. Bomberman created a large firebomb and placed it by the door. Bomberman and Pommy took cover as the bomb exploded. When the dust cleared, the doors had stayed in tact, not even a scratch. The two posts by the door had been shattered revealing two buttons. "Pommy, go stand on that switch." Bomberman ran to stand on one. Pommy made his way to the other. When Pommy stood on the switch the doors opened, creaking as they did. Bomberman rushed into the building without a single doublt.
Pommy was reluctant, but Pommy's egotistic attitude made him run in, "Pommy the hero. Pommy needs to make sure Bomber doesn't get into trouble."
Inside the building, Bomberman and Pommy spot a large array of robots guarding various doors and the room itself. Pommy ran into action with raging fists knocking the robots unconscious. Bomberman began dishing out electric bombs, which he kicked from a safe distance. No enemies remain after a quick battle, a door opened up in the back wall. Bomberman began to run forward. Pommy was backing off. Bomberman noticed Pommy's retreat, "What's the matter Pommy, scared of a door?"
Pommy pointed behind Bomberman, "No, but large robots of mass destruction and Pommy don't mix."
Bomberman turned around slowly as a large metal hand punched Bomberman back into the room. The robot came closer to the injured Bomberman. Pommy ran toward a corner. Bomberman got up and was ready to defeat this enemy. The robot began to charge up his arm. Bomber man encircled him as a laser was released from the robots arm. Bomberman placed down a row of bombs ready to detonate. Bomberman stood next to them. The robot charged Bomberman. At the last second, Bomberman rolls out of the way and the robot was engulfed in flames. Badly damaged, it continued a vicious assault against Bomberman. Bomberman placed down an electric bomb. Quickly he picked it up again and started to pump up its energy. The robot stopped his chase and began to charge up his laser. Bomberman threw the large electric bomb. The bomb landed on top of the robots head, stopping its laser attack. The bomb landed right next to the knocked out robot. Bomberman pressed the detonation button sending out a large nova of lightning to engulf the robot, followed by a large lightning bolt. The robot exploded, leaving behind scraps of metal and a heart health piece. Bomberman ate it and reenergized himself. With the robot destroyed, two doors opened up.
Pommy ran up to Bomberman after the robots defeat, "Pommy's cheering must have been good for Bomber." Bomberman rolled his eyes. He then proceeded to the door on his left. Pommy followed closely behind Bomberman, keeping a watchful eye out for more killer robots.
The room Bomberman stepped in was a small room with three robots guarding it. Three large poles were in the middle of the room and four statues were lined up together in front of a large fireplace. Three bombs went flying destroying all three podiums revealing three switches. Pommy looked up at Bomberman, "Pommy starting to hate push block puzzles."

The shadowy figured entered back into the ship via the ship's skylight. He placed several shards on the table and began to organize them. The ever-watchful Fire Kong stood behind his master as he arranged the pieces on the table. Fire Kong returned his attention to the control panel where a yellow light flashed. Kong returned to his post, "Incoming message, master."
"I am not to be disturbed."
Kong looked at the button and at his master. Kong pressed the yellow button and a video screen popped up. The Dark Paladin appeared on the screen in a fuzzy transmission, "My liege, during our takeover of section 435, I managed to locate a few odd pieces of a unknown metal."
"I am busy, go away."
"Just take a look for a quick second."
The shadowy figure turned his head around, "Can't you understand English?!? Go away or I'll disintegrate you like a . . ." He saw the metal that the Dark Paladin held. The metal resembled the shards he had just brought back, "You serve me well, Dark Paladin. Hold onto those metal pieces. I shall retrieve them later."
The Dark Paladin nodded and the transmission ended. Fire Kong rose from his seat and watched his master continue to sort the pieces. Fire Kong picked up two random pieces and began to toil with them. As he fit the two pieces together, they were joined and became one; instantaneously joined by their touch, "It's like a jigsaw puzzle, master."
The shadowy figure released its wings, "With pieces still missing." Pressing his wristband map button, he took off into the sky and flew into the distance as the skylight closes behind him.
The Dark Paladin watched over his robot minions as they endlessly worked destroying, building, and watching guard. The Dark Paladin looked down at his hand that held the strange metal (I've seen this before, but I forget where. Whatever these metal pieces are, they must be worth something if he wants them. No matter right now. I must prepare for Bomberman's arrival. I shall be ready this time, Bomberman.)

Bomberman pushed the last statue on the last switch. The room began to shake as the fireplace split into two. Pommy stood there as the fireplace slid apart, "Please don't be fire and explosion and death. Please don't be fire and explosion and death." Pommy chanted away as Bomberman made his way toward the fireplace. Pommy teleported all the way, cowering in fear of what fate lay ahead.
They entered into a mostly dark room with little light. Pommy walked beside Bomberman, "Pommy ready for action." A figure darted past them. "What was that?" The figure ran behind them as Pommy turned around, "Pommy doesn't like the whooshing sounds around us." The figure disappeared. Suddenly large amounts of lights poured in blinding Bomberman and Pommy. Bomberman faintly saw an outline of a figure, in mid-air jump as it landed in the center of the room. Bomberman's eyes adjusted to the brightness. The figure was a beastlike human. Sharp talons were where his hands would be and his back was hunched. His entire upper body was covered in fur and jeans covered his human like bottom. His eyes glowed a darkened red and his nose resembled a beak. A sharp set of teeth gave him a villainous smile, which froze Bomberman in fear. Pommy's jaw dropped to the ground, "Pommy never seen a creature so strange."
"Who you callin' strange? Ever seen yourself in a mirror or do they break before you get a look."
"Pommy no like a loud mouth freak. I've seen some nasty freaks. And I've seen some dirty villainous thugs. But you win the award for the dirtiest, freakiest, nastiest, villainous thug I've ever seen."
Bomberman turned to Pommy, "Did you forget our last battles, Pommy."
Pommy shivered, "Why did Bomber have to go and remind Pommy of that?"
Bomberman looked at Pommy crossly, "You probably just remember the corner you stared at the entire time."
The figure was building up rage, "Silence!!! I've had enough of your complaining. I shall make you silent for a long time…. MWAHAHAHA!!!" The lights dimmed and the creature was ready to strike.
Pommy took one look at Bomberman, "Pommy go cheer for Bomberman now in safe corner." He ducked in the farthest corner of the arena. "Myu!"
Bomberman turned back to his opponent. The creature smirked, "When I am finished with you, I'll make sure to torture your puffy little friend over there." Bomberman took his fighter stance, unknowing how fierce the battle would be.
[You think you would get to see the battle now? Well you'll have to wait for chapter 6 – Bomberman's Demise?]
