Chapter four
Dark Chaos
On a small planet, inhabited by the psychopathic villain Brainbomber, things are not going well. The space pirates known as Rukifellth Kourichi and Lilith Reynard have just witnessed what could be Bomber Stars blackest hour. Its hero Bomberman had come to rescue them, only to be ambushed by two of Brainbomber's generals. However, Brainbomber activated some hidden trigger in Bombermans brain that caused him to tap into a dark store of Chaos Energy. Now he stands transformed into the being that Brainbomber has dubbed Darkbomber.
"Power! Limitless power! It feels like I've been hooked up to a million power plants!" Darkbomber yelled out.
"HAHAHAHA! It aCtuAllY woRkED!" Vortexbomber yelled out, clapping and giggling.
"Calm yourself, my over eager general. Tell me Darkbomber…how do you feel?" Brainbomber asked.
"At the moment? I feel like blasting laughing boy here, into a million pieces" Darkbomber said, grinning at Vortexbomber.
"Do iT! KiLL mE! LeT's HavE US a LIghT sHOw!" Vortexbomber cackled out, standing and holding his arms out.
"No thanks. It's really pretty pointless killing someone, if they want to die" Darkbomber said, turning away from the still giggling Vortexbomber.
"oH sURe! I kNEw yOu WerE AlL tALk!" Vortexbomber yelled out. Darkbomber then turned around, and flung a fire bomber at Vortexbomber, vaporising him. However, on the spot where Vortexbomber had been killed, a wormhole emerged, and Vortexbomber stepped out, completely healthy once more.
"WoW, wHAt A RUsh!" Vortexbomber yelled out.
"There's something you don't see everyday" Rukifellth said.
"Vortexbomber is a living black hole. If he dies, a second one of him is recreated simultaneously. Quite simply, he stores time. If he dies, he is rewound to a point, prior his death" Brainbomber explained.
"No more questions. It's time to die" Darkbomber said, turning to Rukifellth and Lilith.
"Start running. I'll give you one minute. Then I come looking for you" Darkbomber said. Rukifellth and Lilith rushed towards the exit, and Darkbomber smiled, before stalking off.
"That one will be trouble" Pretty Bomber said.
"Silence. He is to be my second in command, and you will treat him with respect. Now Vortexbomber, we proceed with phase three. Bring the cannon up" Brainbomber said.
"So, I GeT To mAKe ThE STrikE?" Vortex bomber asked. Brainbomber nodded.
"It's time to destroy all of Bomber Star" Brainbomber said.
Elsewhere on the surface of the planet, both Rukifellth and Lilith had managed to get to the space craft that had brought Bomberman there, and were preparing to launch it.
"How much longer?" Lilith asked, as Rukifellth pressed various buttons and pulled levers.
"Not long now. I just need to reconfigure the engine and we should be…" Rukifellth began, before seeing the door blown open.
"Running away? No, no, no. That's not how we play this game. You can hide, but you can't run" Darkbomber said, as Rukifellth swung his sword at him. Darkbomber simply grabbed the sword, by the blade, and shattered it.
"If that's all you've got Ruk, your even more pathetic than I remember" Darkbomber said, flinging Rukifellth through a wall.
"Back away from him now Shiro or I swear to god, I will kill you" Lilith said.
"Ah, Lilith. Concerned for your little pirate pal? How touching, how sweet, how nauseating. How…you" Darkbomber said, with a smirk. Lilith scowled before firing a blast of Chi energy that sent Darkbomber staggering away.
"Wow. Not bad. Of course…not that good either" Darkbomber said, before flinging an electric bomb at Lilith, rendering her unconscious.
A few short minutes later, Darkbomber entered the main room of Brainbomber's base, only to be greeted by Pretty Bomber.
"You are late. You were meant to just bring them back, not toy with them. Personally, I don't see what Brainbomber sees in you" Pretty Bomber said, glowering.
"Jealous? Ah, I'd better put you out of your misery" Darkbomber said, gabbing Pretty Bomber by the throat.
"Now open wide, and say aghhhhh!" Darkbomber said, placing an ice bomb in Pretty Bombers mouth, and detonating it, freezing her from the inside out.
"Pity. Still, she had a good run" Darkbomber said, dropping the body to the floor where it shattered into pieces.
Elsewhere, in the labs of Lannis Balthair, a large and complex looking robot lies on the table. Brainbomber watched, as Lannis places several wire connection in its head.
"Will is work, Lannis?" Brainbomber asked.
"Of course. This is one of my best pieces, if I do say so myself. It will work perfectly" Lannis said, as Darkbomber entered the room, dragging Lilith and Rukifellth behind him.
"Here they are. So where's Vortex?" Darkbomber asked.
"Oh him? He's probably off annihilating Bomber Star. Did we neglect to mention that?" Lannis asked.
"Yes actually. But it's no worry. I'll just kill him" Darkbomber said, before ;lifting up a metal pole that was lying on the floor, and ramming it through Brainbomber's chest.
He then turned to Lannis, and backhanded him into his equipment, crashing to the ground with it.
"If you'll excuse me" Darkbomber said, stepping over the still twitching Brainbomber.
"Nothing personal. But I can't have Bomber Star destroyed yet. I still have some people I need to kill" Darkbomber said, walking away. Lannis pulled himself to his feet, and looked down as Brainbomber struggled to stand up.
"So sorry sir. But I have to think of number one after all" Lannis said, heading after Darkbomber. Brainbomber dragged himself towards the robot that lay on the table, and grabbed the wires that were connected to it.
In the weapons room, Vortexbomber cackled as the weaponry aligned with Bomber Star. He was still cackling as he was blasted fifty feet away from the weaponry by a fire bomb.
"Not so fast pal. Don't touch that dial, we still have plenty more to do. And I have no intention of seeing Bomber Star turned into a smoking crater…Just yet" Darkbomber said. It was at that point that he was shot in the back by a full power plasma beam, collapsing onto the ground.
"Vortexbomber get up! I didn't build you so you could lounge around!" Lannis said, walking past Darkbomber.
"He SHoT ME! ANd He DiDN't eVEn fiNisH me OfF!" Vortexbomber yelled out.
"We need to call in some help. Darkbomber has turned treacherous, and I have no intention of being turned to mince meat by him" Lannis said, heading towards the exits.
"WhAt SHoUld I dO?" Vortexbomber asked.
"Stay here and hold off Darkbomber. I'll see about getting a workable space craft" Lannis said, before rushing off. Vortexbomber giggled to himself, before leaping at Darkbomber, only to be caught in mid air by the throat.
"You really think you can stop me? You're either very stupid or…very stupid" Darkbomber said, before squeezing, slicing Vortexbombers head off. As Darkbomber walked away, a vortex appeared, and a fully restored Vortexbomber stepped out of it.
"Is ThAt aLL YoU Got?" Vortexbomber yelled out, hurling a vortex bomb at Darkbomber. It detonated, creating a swirling vortex that sucked in Darkbomber.
"AWwWWwW, DArKbOMbeR lEFt. AnD I diDn'T GeT A ChANcE tOo sAY My GOodbyE'S!" Vortexbomber laughed out. Suddenly, a second vortex appeared, and Darkbomber emerged from it.
"Is that all you've got? That's just sad" Darkbomber said, before blasting Vortexbomber with a bomb that sent Vortexbomber hurtling into a wall.
"Enough! I did not grant you this power so you could use it against me! Clearly Darkbomber, a lesson is in order" Brainbomber said, stepping forward with his eyes glowing. Darkbomber doubled over in pain, clutching his head.
"Now then, Vortexbomber, go and find Lannis, and tell him to cease his cowering. Darkbomber, I have chosen to destroy Bomber Star, and I shall. I command and you follow!" Brainbomber said.
"Hey Brainless! Hate to interrupt your big, 'My Evil Scheme' moment, but guess what?" Rukifellth asked, stepping into the room with Lilith.
"We brought help" Rukifellth said, gesturing behind him, as from the shadows stepped…Super Sonic!
"Perfect! Now at last I have a real challenge. So… let's do this thing, Sparky!" Darkbomber said, glowing with a black energy as he squared off to face Super Sonic.
