Chapter 9 Destruction
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. -Mark Twain
Channel 5 "During the past week reports of the super Medabot attacks have decreased, they have however increased in violence."
Channel 16 "Medabot remains sprawled on the ground."
Channel 48 "Forming an eerie message."
Channel 62 "Where are you?"
Channel 33 "Meaningless to say all we have to do is to wait until this maniac gets what he wants."
(Somewhere in town) Pron sighed as he watched the TV. At this rate he'd never get a promotion. Though he'd prefer to leave town his Medabot refused to go. It seemed Enchansator had found a reason to stay. To completely annihilate the only one who truly defied him. Even if he had to destroy every Medabot in town, to find him.
Channel 10 "Until then all owners of dog type Medabots are cautioned not to go outside."
Channel 1 "Populace name threat the 'Dog Catcher'."
(The next day) The day seemed like just another day for the Screws. To the joy of Cyandog. After destroying the pill last night, he felt refreshed. As if he was relieved of a great burden. He didn't tell Peppercat he wasn't using it though. Cyandog decided to tell her after the match itself. As they approached the school it almost seemed the day would go without event. Until, they heard the familiar voice of Mr. Referee exclaiming. "Function ceased, and the winner is Team Enchansator!"
Mountain, Principal, and Council President recently decided to team up. They called themselves The Educonnection. Unfortunately they looked liked they needed a lot of "connecting" at the moment. Digmole had been tossed into a wall and his shovel was ripped off. Dr. Bokchoy was down on the ground with one of his arms missing. Samurai didn't look like he lost anything, then it became clear his swords were gone. Their Medafighters had looks of dismay as they carried their broken Medabots home. Erika was nearby snapping pictures at the aftermath of the battle. Ikki and Metabee were there too. Metabee was trying to challenge Enchansator. But Enchansator just looked at The Screws and said. "Hello Cyandog."
The 2 just stared at each other for awhile. Neither Medabot said a word. All was silent, except for the clicking of a camera. "You're a hard bot to find Cyandog. I had to search all around the city for your location." "What do you want Enchansator?" "A simple rematch is all I desire." Enchansator replied. "Whoa! Are you saying you lost to Cyandog?" asked Metabee. "In a way, yes." Pron answered. "So Cyandog how about it? Another robattle for old time's sake?" "What if I say 'no'?" Enchansator chuckled at Cyandog's answer. He turned to Samantha. "You're the boss of this little social group right? Wouldn't it be bad for your reputation if your team refused a challenge?" He motioned to Erika. "Think of what the press would say." Samantha cringed at this. Though she hated to admit it but that purple freak was right. If Erika wasn't there they could have refused with ease. But she fully knew Erika could turn this friendly conversation into a media circus in a blink of an eye. She could see the headlines; The Screws a.k.a. the Sissies, or some other cowardly name like that. However she remembered last time she fought without thinking. Cyandog was nearly done in by her careless mistake. So she made the obvious choice. She took a vote.
The vote was simple. There would be six voters; Totalizer, Sloan, Spyke, Cyandog, Peppercat and herself. Actually it was really a way to let Spyke and Cyandog choose easier. After all they had suffered the most the last time they fought Pron. "All those who wish to battle raise their hands!" she shouted. Surprisingly the only ones who didn't were her and Peppercat.
"Fine." She said irritably. "We accept your challenge." "Wonderful, I'll be waiting in the alley where this all began at around 3 o'clock. One more thing, bring the reporter and Ikki with you. After all without witnesses, victory loses its luster." Pron announced before leaving. The Belzelgas followed him, but Enchansator lingered. "You want to know how far I went to find you Cyandog?! I'll sum it up in 4 words!" Enchansator went closer to Cyandog and whispered. "I'm the 'Dog Catcher'." And with that he left. Cyandog was enraged but succeeded in hiding it well from everyone but himself.
(Later..)
"Okay Cyandog, any particular reason you've decided to go crazy?!" Peppercat shouted. Cyandog was fixing his medaparts. "I knew it was him destroying those Medabots, I just knew it!" "You're getting off topic Cyan. But why in the world do you want to fight a guy who turned you into tinfoil the last time you fought with him?" "Peppercat you heard what he said. He's the 'Dog Catcher' the guy who's been sending dog types to the big sleep! I have this feeling that if I had refused he'd carry on with his sick craft until I accepted. So the only way this can stop is if I defeat him or he destroys me. Most likely it will be the latter." Cyandog replied. "Listen Cyan, this guy really hates you. This time he may totally smash you to pieces!" Peppercat warned. Cyandog put down the tool he was using to repair his blaster and looked at her. "If that happens there's something I got to tell you. I didn't take the pill." Peppercat was slightly proud of him. "Aren't you afraid?" she said with a concerned voice. "Yes. And Peppercat, thanks for being such a great friend." He said as he left. He caught up with Spyke and they started towards the alley.
Some garbage men had collected most of the trash in the alley but it still stank. When the Screws emerged they saw that Ikki and Erika were already there, so was Pron. Both teams looked at each other before teleporting their Medabots. Pron teleported an extra parts on Enchansator: Energy Belt (it looked like a belt with compartments.). "Then it's agreed!" Mr. Referee shouted from an air balloon above them. "I hereby declare this a submission robattle between The Screws and Pron of Urbane Division. Medafighters ready? Robattle!"
The Belzelgas rushed at Peppercat and Totalizer, but missed. Enchansator kept his distance from the fight. "Time to finish this battle with Steroid Rahh!" Cyandog had just punched Enchansator in the face. Cyandog took him by the throat and gave him a big choke slam. Enchansator had just suffered 45% damage to all his parts. He lifted him up by the ammo sling.. Enchansator tried to mock him. "Fool I'll just use Steroid Ray to fix this." "You won't. Because at this range, I'll get energized too. That's your weakness!" "Cyandog quick give him a Pile Driver!" Spyke ordered. He took a look at Enchansator. "Affirmative." Cyandog confirmed. Enchansator was just as feeble as the training dummy.
"Man I've never seen Spyke command Cyandog so well." Ikki commented. "I've never seen Cyandog so ticked." Metabee added. Cyandog kept on hitting Enchansator. "One for the Medabots you smashed." He kicked him in the legs. "Another for the dog types you mercilessly slaughtered." Cyandog jabbed him in the gut. "And this one." He pulled Enchansator closer. "Is for me." He gave him a head butt.
Cyandog took his hated enemy and slammed him to the wall. At the moment all of Enchansator's stats were at 10%. Cyandog put his blaster to Enchansator's head. "I may be the worst shot around but at this distance, I can't miss. Any last words before I send you to the scrap heap?" Cyandog questioned. Enchansator looked down and said. "Look behind you." Cyandog turned to look and paled at what he saw.
The Belzelgas had somehow managed to restrain Peppercat and Totalizer. But for some strange reason they appeared unscathed. "Surprised, Cyandog?" Enchansator asked. Cyandog turned to look at him. Enchansator continued. "You know Pron isn't the only one running the show. Those Belzelgas also listen to me. So all I have to do is say the word whether it is by command or final breath, and they'll do to your friends what I did to you. And you wouldn't want that would you?" Cyandog tried to look away. "I'll make a deal with you mutt! Let me destroy you and I'll spare your friends. What do you say?" Despite hearing his teammates and medafighter discourage him. He made a silent apology to Spyke. He was about to let go when...
Totalizer flipped one of the Belzelgas over and fired a laser beam at it. Peppercat zapped the other one into letting her go. They both tried to stop Cyandog but they were too late. He had already freed Enchansator.
Enchansator laughed as he used the Steroid Ray on himself. He had fully healed himself and was beginning to grow. As soon as he had reached 4 ft Cyandog tried to grab him by the ammo slings again. Enchansator punched him into a wall, but not without snapping of one of the slings. "Nice try." He said before blasting the Belzelgas with his Steroid Ray. Afterwards they immediately recaptured Peppercat and Totalizer. Enchansator grinned with amusement. "It's your friend's turn."
"What are you talking about?" Cyandog wheezed. "Well I'm planning to break your friends. Isn't it obvious?" Enchansator answered. "But we had a deal!" Cyandog shouted. "Well you see normally I would keep my end of the bargain but the same source that told me you were still alive, told me one of your friends saved you. So all I have to do is too find the one that did and then I'll destroy you." Enchansator laughed. "You traitorous snake! I ought a get in there and give you a Metabee-boppin!" Metabee shouted. Cyandog lifted his blaster at Enchansator. "Oh, put that away Cyandog. You know as well as me it'll have no affect. In this mode that pea shooter won't even give me a scratch! You might as well accept the fact you can't save them and enjoy the show." Cyandog put his blaster down. He knew he was right. It wouldn't make a difference if he shot him or not. He wished he had a weapon strong enough to hurt Enchansator's body. All seemed lost until he felt a certain broken strap on his hands.
"Enchansator!" Cyandog yelled. He turned to look at him. "I think you forgot this!" Cyandog held out the energy sling. Enchansator looked a bit shocked but not threatened. "Do you even know how to use that thing?!" "Yes I do! Get ready for a fight you won't forget." Cyandog looked at Peppercat. "Sorry Peppercat. I said I wouldn't do this again, but at the moment I don't think I have a choice." Cyandog crushed all the pills in his hands. "Forgive me."
(Somewhere) A voice n the dark analyzed the situation. "Curses, if that fool keeps this up he'll be destroyed. Perhaps he deserves it. He lives by dead ideals like friendship and honor. Power is all anyone needs to survive! But if he is destroyed it shall delay my rebirth even more. That settles it I shall give him the true power he possesses! Only he shall be different to the weakling he used to be. He shall spread terror, chaos, strife. He will only know despair, grief, sadness, hate and loyalty. To me that is. You steroid addicted goon! Prepare to meet the herald and war chariot of your future king! And he shall only say a single word that sums up the future!"
Author Note: In the following paragraph, the mysterious voice will be the only one talking in ". (The Lot.) Cyandog felt like he was being ripped apart. "Let's see 'D'". Cyandog screamed as the energy coursed through his body. "E" He grew to 4 ft. "S" His hands transformed into jagged claws. "T" His legs were covered with spikes. "R" A mouth with sharp fangs appeared on his face. (Similar to Robo- Emperor's) "O" In Cyandog's visor a single red eye appeared. (At the left) "Y. That should do it." Cyandog blacked out.
Author Note: End mysterious voice narration.
The transformed Cyandog simply stood there. Unmoving. His appearance was quite ghastly. The Belzelgas slowly backed away. Metabee stopped threatening Enchansator. Erika stopped taking pictures. The Screws were shocked. Peppercat and Totalizer gaped in awe. Enchansator looked unconcerned. Cyandog muttered something out of his new mouth. "De... Des... Dest.....Destr" The red eye in his visor glared angrily at Enchansator. "DESTROYYY!" he shouted.
