Chapter one
An ending and a beginning
The man sat on the throne, watching the destruction that surrounded him. His hands were withered and skeletal, but his eyes were a glowing red, that gave the impression of two inferno's burning in his eye sockets. He had once been powerful. He had once controlled all he saw before him. But now, he had been beaten, brought low by his hated enemy Bomberman, and that worthless pile of scrap known as Max. He was Brainbomber, leader of the four bombers, but his empire lay in ruins. His glorious generals were all dead. His army was gone. And his grand project had been brought to a very final, very explosive end by Bomberman. This was why he had chosen this option. If his newest idea worked, he would have the power to crush Bomberman underfoot. If not, he would at last be freed from this worthless shell. His body had been nearly destroyed by Bomberman, and as a result was weak and pitiful. But if he could change that, he would be a master of the world again. He activated the energy conduction chamber, and set the ship to auto destruct.
Slowly and methodically, he staggered into the chamber, as the system counted down to the explosion. Five seconds. Four seconds. Three seconds. Two. One. The explosion was deafening, as the chamber collected the energy released by it. Brainbomber instantly felt the energy change him. His body was no longer a skeletal shell. He felt power. The powers of the stars themselves were his. Now all that remained was to rebuild his empire. And once that was done, he would crush Bomberman underfoot.
On the nearby planet of Bomber Star, the famous hero Shiro Yogeki, better known as Bomberman, is taking a rare moment to relax and enjoy some peace and quite. At least he would be, if it weren't for his sidekick Pommy.
"Feed Pommy damn it! Pommy hasn't had any food in nearly an hour!" Pommy yelled out. Bomberman placed his head in his hands, attempting in vain to fight of the migraine that Pommy was bringing on.
"Pommy, I fed you only thirty minutes ago! Go do something else, that doesn't involve devouring all my food!" Bomberman said.
"Fine. Pommy will go starve in a corner!" Pommy said, before walking off in a huff. A shrill beeping filled the room, and Bomberman reached over to a red button and pressed it, causing a flat screen monitor to rise up from the floor. On it was the image of Rukifellth Kourichi, and his fellow space pirate, Lilith Reynard.
"Hey guys. What's up?" Bomberman asked, getting the troubling feeling that, once again, he was going to have to clean up one of the universe problems. And whenever he did that, it usually meant a fair amount of him being beaten up, shot at, blown up, bitten by both Pommy and the enemy, shot at some more and insulted in the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
"Nothing much really. We just thought we'd see how you were doing Shiro. It's been ages since we last saw you" Rukifellth said.
"Yeah, about three or four games" Lilith muttered behind him, nearly shattering the fourth wall.
"I guess it has been a while. Still, things have been pretty quiet lately. There was some trouble with this psycho called Brainbomber, but apart from that things have been fine" Bomberman said.
"Yeah, we've not exactly been having the best luck either. We've barely been able to steal enough to get by. I blame it on Johnny Depp. He made pirating popular, and now everyone's doing it. There's nothing left for us" Rukifellth said.
"You know Rukifellth, has it ever occurred to you to get a real job?" Bomberman asked.
"No Shiro. Has it ever occurred to you to get a laser cannon in the face?" Rukifellth replied. Bomberman decided not to say anything else insulting; as it was clear Rukifellth was in one of his Crazed Loon moods.
"Actually, we did find something. But it was pretty poor quality" Lilith said, after whacking Rukifellth over the head for threatening Bomberman with painful death, yet again.
"Poor quality? What was it, a fanfic by Rensuko Kaitzo?" Bomberman asked. Lilith and Rukifellth both visibly shuddered at that.
"Don't even joke about that Shiro" Lilith said.
"They only joke around here is the fact that I haven't managed to kill either Bomberman or Sora yet" Rukifellth said, before being smashed over the head by War and Peace.
"One day, I might actually knock the psychosis out of him" Lilith said.
"Well, Rukifellth's blunt trauma aside, what was it you found?" Bomberman asked.
"Some weird looking space ship. But the whole thing was hollowed out and derelict" Lilith explained.
"If that's the best thing you could find, then you really are doing badly" Bomberman said.
"Well, we'll see you soon Shiro. We're planning on paying Bomber Star a visit. Oh, and by the way, whatever happened to that sidekick you had? Max, was it?" Lilith asked.
"Who knows? I saved him from Brainbomber a while ago, and I haven't seen him since" Bomberman said.
"Ah well. He always seemed like a jerk to me anyway" Lilith replied, before turning the monitor off. Feeling satisfied that the conversation had not resulted in him being blown into a million fragments, Bomberman went back to relaxing.
Elsewhere, on a distant asteroid staging ground, Brainbomber stood over three cryogenic tubes, each one of which contained a shadowy figure. Brainbomber smiled to himself as he pressed several switches, causing power to flow through them.
"At last. Dr Lannis! It has begun!" Brainbomber yelled out, as a medium sized man, in a lab coat scurried out from the shadows. He had a golden mask fixed to his face, and twitched as he began pressing various buttons, and pulling various levers.
"How much longer?" Brainbomber asked, as Lannis attached several wires to the tubes.
"Not long now sir. The dimensional transcenders have begun to collect the dimensional energy, and conduct it into the tubes, which will generate our improbability field, which shall allow them to live again" Dr Lannis said, as the darkness was lit up by thousands of computer monitors, all of them showing reams and reams of numbers. Power surged though the tubes, and the shadowy figures twitched.
"Live! Live! I command you…live!" Lannis yelled out. The tubes glowed a burning blue, before finally returning to normal. And then, the glass on the tubes cracked and broke open. And now, standing in the wreckage of the tubes are the forms of Magnet Bomber, Pretty Bomber and Golem Bomber.
"They're alive!" Lannis yelled out, as the three bombers stepped forward.
"At last. Now Lannis, you shall rebuild my army. All that remains is the two space pirates, Rukifellth and Lilith. And you shall deliver them to me" Brainbomber said, pointing into the shadows.
"Of course. That's what we're paid for" a voice said, as two figures stepped forward. The first was a man of about twenty five, clad entirely in black and the second was a girl of twelve, dressed in Goth clothing.
"Exactly. And when you hire Jack and Marla to do a job, you hire the best" the girl said, lifting up an AK47.
To Be Continued.
Authors note: Well, what do you think? Jack and Marla are from my original fiction "The Game" and are hired assassins. Lannis is making his fanfic debut here, and is a Dr Frankenstein parody, as should have been obvious by the whole "It's alive!" bit. In the next Chapter, Brainbomber is going to make his first move against our heroes, and you'll get to see Jack and Marla in action.
