Chapter 3
Twisted Metal
Metal Shadow allowed a smile to twist across his metal features, demonic red light spilling out, making him appear to be some hideous metal jack o lantern. He floated up, and landed on the balcony, beside Egggirl.
"Oh, he's so KAWAI! Look at his little metal eyes! He's perfect!" Egggirl said, wrapping her freakishly long arms around Metal Shadow in a hug.
"Ahem, sir? The plan?" Lannis said.
"Oh…right. Metal Shadow here, is to be my latest, greatest weapon of mass destruction! He's flies, he teleports, and has more special features than the Lord of the Rings directors cut! Everything is finally falling into place! As soon as the last thing I ordered gets here, I can storm Planet Bomber with my monstrous Metal Shadow army!" Egggirl said, clapping her hands.
"Last thing you ORDERED! How the hell can you get deliveries…we're in space!" Bomberman yelled.
"I ordered V.P.S…Villain Postal Service. One stop shop for weapons, ships, henchmen, sidekicks…" Egggirl said.
"Wait…henchmen? You can't buy people" Rukifellth said.
"What were you, dropped on your head as a baby? Of course you can! Just look at this! PULL!" Egggirl pulls a lever, and a henchman was shot out of a cannon. Similar to a clay pigeon. Egggirl lifted a shotgun, and fired, causing the henchman to explode, showering Bomberman and the others.
"Hmmm, that would be a great way to pass the time! How much do those things cost?" Rukifellth asked, before being smacked over the head by Lilith.
"I was kidding! Although, I can think of a few people who it would be fun to launch…" Rukifellth said,
"Ruk, you need to get over your obsessive vendetta with Sora. It's gone from just slight annoyance, to burning hatred, to crazed lunatic proportions. And I really don't want to have to beat you up AGAIN" Lilith said.
"Fine, ruin my dreams!" Rukifellth said.
"Ahem? Evil gender swapping genius with a doomsday device? How about paying some attention?" Egggirl asked.
"Alright, let's get this over with. Do you want to send the wind up toy after me first, or shall I just beat you up now?" Bomberman asked, cockily.
"SO, you need a lesson, eh Bomber-Chan? Metal Shadow, kill protocols online!" Egggirl called out.
"Bomber-Chan?" Rukifellth asked, looking creeped out.
"Metal Shadow is online. Ultimate life form shall terminate enemy" Metal Shadow said, flying towards the ground.
"Ha! Try this!" Bomberman said, preparing to fling a bomb, only for nothing to happen.
"You gave Egggirl the Elemental Stones, jack-ass! You can't make bombs without them!" Rukifellth yelled.
"Oh…crap" Bomberman said, before Metal Shadow wrapped his hands around Bombermans neck. Metal Shadow lifted up one hand, and fired a beam of light that burned away Bombermans amour, before flinging him through a ground. Metal Shadow then leapt forward, eyes glowing.
"Chaos Spear, initiated" Metal Shadow said, firing a beam of energy from its chest that pierced Bomberman's arm.
"EAGGGHHH! Rukifellth, Lilith, little help here!" Bomberman said, clutching his arm.
"No, this is clearly a private battle. It would be a mistake for normal people to get involved in this idiocy" Rukifellth said, getting elbowed in the ribs for his trouble. Lilith fired a Chi blast from her hands, which Metal Shadow effortlessly deflected. He then fired two beams from his eyes, blasting Lilith backwards.
"Okay metal mouth! Let's see how you handle someone with real skill!" Rukifellth said, swinging his sword at Metal Shadow, who caught it by the blade, crushing it into scrap metal.
"Chaos Blade initiated" Metal Shadow said, a glowing green sword blade extending from its hand. He swung it at Rukifellth, slashing him across the chest, before kicking him away. Bomberman picked up a laser pistol that had fallen from Lilith's holster, and fired, sending three shots at Metal Shadow. He spun around, his eyes glowing fiercely.
"Chaos Control initiated" Metal Shadow said, and the three shots froze in mid-air. Metal Shadow then launched forwards, slamming both is fists into Bomberman's head, rendering him unconscious.
"Metal Shadow! Brava! Brava!" Egggirl said, clapping her hands.
"Praise acknowledged" Metal Shadow said.
"Now then…Hanson, take a squad of Eggbots and bring Bomberman down to the prison chamber. Throw him and his friends in with Sonic and the two assassins. Then, return to the main control room. My new present should be arriving by now" Egggirl said, walking out of the room.
Bomberman awoke, to find himself in a large cell, surrounded by Rukifellth, Lilith, Jack, Marla and Sonic, who by now had lost his chaos powers.
"Well, that was really amazing. I can see why people call you super heroes" Marla said sarcastically.
"Hey, I'd like to see you do better, goth girl!" Rukifellth yelled out.
"Uh-huh. The big powerful sword wielding space pirate, and he lasts six seconds against a tin can with attitude" Marla said.
"Look, this isn't going to help us escape guys. Right now, we need to find a way to thwart Egg…Girls, evil plan. We can beat the crap out of each other afterwards" Bomberman said.
"Fine, so what's the plan Shiro?" Lilith asked.
"Well, I'm guessing that these robots aren't too bright. So, I think we can fool them fairly easily. Here's what we do…" Bomberman began.
Egggirl smiled to herself, as the ship was lowered into the docking bay. Hanson and Space Butler both operated two controls that caused the ships doors to open. From it, two crates were lowered.
"Sir, it has arrived" Hanson called up.
"Good. Thank you Hanson-Chan!" Egggirl said, smiling. The two crates were opened, and inside them were two large mechanical devices.
"That's weird, my new sidekick's supposed to be in one of them" Egggirl said. At that point, several muffle yells became audible.
"Hmmm. Lannis hand me that crowbar" Egggirl said. Lannis gave her it, and she swung it into one of the machines, smashing it to pieces, and revealing a girl dressed in black babydoll lace.
"Ooo, they had the one I wanted in stock!" Egggirl squealed.
Bomberman smiled to himself, as he kicked the first robot in the head, smashing the Eggbot to pieces. Lilith chi blasted the second one, and they ran from the cell, followed by Sonic, Rukifellth, Jack and Marla.
"I can't believe the stomach ache routine actually fooled them! Still, now all we have to do is reach the docking bay, and we're home clear!" Bomberman said, smiling. As they reached the control room, a black gloved hand smashed through the wall, punching Bomberman into a computer screen. It then wrapped itself around his throat, as the girl who Egggirl had removed from the crate, stepped forward.
"Bomberman, welcome! Great escape attempt, really! By the way, I'd like you to meet my new sidekick!" Egggirl said, as the girl slammed Bomberman into the ground.
"Her name is Gothic Lolita…and she will be the death of you!" Egggirl said, bursting into maniacal laughter. And, in another room, Metal Shadow stood plugged into the machinery from the crate…and smiled.
