Chapter 4
Mad Hogs and Englishmen
"Tell me, do most of your battles go this badly for you? I'm just curious" Gothic Lolita said, smashing Bomberman's head into the wall, repeatedly. Rukifellth leaped forwards, swinging his sword at her, only for a laser blast to send him flying. Egggirl stepped forward, with a laser cannon pointed at Rukifellth.
"Don't even think about it, Ruki-Chan!" Egggirl said.
"Ruki-Chan?" Rukifellth yelled out, annoyed. At that point, Sonic zoomed towards Egggirl, smashing the cannon out of her hands.
"I don't know what you're planning, but it ends now Egg…Girl" Sonic said. Egggirl smiled, before pressing a button, causing a platform to descend.
"I don't think so Sonic-Chan! My new creation is more than a match for you! Looks like our long time rivalry, is finally ending, old friend" Egggirl said, as Metal Shadow descended, glowing with arcane energies.
"Wow, as if Shadow wasn't bad enough before. So, this bucket head is your best shot? Wow" Sonic said, zooming towards Metal Shadow. However, at the last second, Metal Shadow dodged, causing Sonic to crash into the wall. Metal Shadow then picked him up, and sent a surge of energy through his hands, electrocuting Sonic. He then smashed him through the floor of the ship, sending him crashing into several crates. Bomberman meanwhile, found himself being held by the neck, as his legs kicked desperately.
"I love the way you struggle. It makes this far more interesting. Now, I'm sorry, but I have to cut this short. Universal conquest beckons" Gothic Lolita said, before slamming him through a computer screen, rendering him unconscious. Lilith fired a Chi blast that knocked Lolita down, only to find Metal Shadow standing in front of her.
"You are impressive. This unit is superior" Metal Shadow said, before delivering a vicious punch to Lilith's head. Metal Shadow smiled, before finding himself buffeted by hundreds of bullets. He spun around, to find Marla firing on him with a machine gun.
"Not so tough now, are you, you piece of scrap metal?" Marla asked, only for Metal Shadow to shrug off the bullets, and crush the gun with ease. Jack pulled a viciously long blade, and swung it towards Metal Shadow, only for it to shatter on his armour.
"Chaos Spear initiated" Metal Shadow said, blasting Marla and Jack away.
"Brava, Brava! At long last, I, Dr Egggirl have won! Not so tough now, are you?" Egggirl said, yelling at his fallen foes.
"There unconscious. How are they supposed to hear you?" Gothic Lolita asked.
"Oh they can hear me alright. Anyway, take Metal Shadow to the engineering centre, and reconnect him to the machinery. His power is growing. Oh, and take Bomberman and the others to the main bridge, and tie them up. I want them to witness my victory!" Egggirl said, walking away.
"Whatever you want Egggirl" Gothic Lolita said, dragging Bomberman and the others away.
Marla smiled to herself, as he watched the Eggbots tie him up. Clearly, Egggirl hadn't programmed them with much A.I, or else they would have checked her for weapons. As it as, she had a wrist mounted switchblade, which was poised to slice through the ropes.
"Well, our lives have hit a new low" Lilith said, as she and Rukifellth were bound to a chair.
"It could be worse. After all, we ARE tied together. Kind of romantic, don't you think?" Rukifellth asked, grinning.
"I'd like to request a transfer to death row, please" Lilith said.
"Well kids, looks like this is where you get off" Egggirl said, stepping into the room, smiling.
"Oh god, just when things couldn't get any worse" Lilith said. Lannis Egggirl merely smiled, operating several switches.
"Mock me while you can. You see, your time is up. Metal Shadow is even now plugged into an exponential energy generator that is supplying him with enough power to light up Las Vegas. Then, he will use it to bend Planet Bomber to my will, and the Eggman Empire, shall rule over it!" Egggirl said, laughing.
"Egggirl, you're not going to get away with this. Admittedly I have nothing to base that statement on, but still, you're not going to get away with this" Bomberman said.
"Oh, you're so cute when you try and threaten people! Ahem…anyway, my plan is genius…using Metal Sonic's powers, I will have enough power to control the galaxy!" Egggirl ranted.
"Do you always reveal every tiny detail of your plan to the hero?" Gothic Lolita asked.
"Yes…why?" Egggirl asked.
"Well, maybe that has something to do with why you fail in every evil scheme you attempt" she said.
"Really? You think so?" Egggirl asked.
"No. I said it for the fun of it" Gothic Lolita replied.
"Well, alright then. Now, the really clever part, is that Metal Shadow will use the power to spawn himself into millions of duplicates…instant cloning! Now…watch!" Egggirl said, pressing a button. Metal Shadow appeared on the screen, hooked up to the machinery.
"This unit's power levels are reaching maximum output. Commencing replication cells" Metal Shadow said, as its armour glowed, and a second Metal Shadow fazed into existence next to it. Followed by another, and another.
"Yes! It works! The Eggman Empire will dominate the galaxy! No one will ever stand against me again! In your face, hero!" Egggirl said.
"Egggirl, I hope you realise, that you're hopelessly insane" Bomberman said.
"It's my most charming feature. Now then…time for you to die. Gothic Lolita!" Egggirl yelled.
"You yelled?" Gothic Lolita asked.
"Yes…throw the red switch!" Egggirl called. Gothic Lolita pulled a red lever down, causing a device to descend.
"Now, I know that you heroes are prone to return from the dead…so I'm not pulling any punches. The device will melt you with a laser, then launch out spinning blades to mince you, then freeze you, then vaporise you, then scoop up your ashes and toss them out the airlock! Man that was a big run on sentence" Egggirl said.
"Isn't that a little like overkill?" Bomberman asked.
"Actually, I'm banking on it being just enough kill. So long, Bomberman!" Egggirl said.
"Wait! Don't we get a last meal?" Rukifellth asked.
"Technically, whatever you ate yesterday, WAS your last meal" Gothic Lolita said, before activating the machinery, which targeted the group.
"Well, this is a one way trip to after life hell. We get to the pearl gates, they ask us how we died…killed by a sex swapped Dr Eggman" Rukifellth said.
"I've gotta say Ruk, it's nice to see you keeping your cool for once" Lilith said.
"I don't wanna die! Oh god, Buddha, Zeus, Ra, Vishnu, Garnish, save me!" Rukifellth said.
"Garnish?" Bomberman said, looking disturbed.
"You know, the guy the Hindu's pray to" Rukifellth said,
"That's Ganesh! Ganesh!" Lilith said, shaking her head in shame.
On the main bridge, Egggirl smiled to herself, as Metal Shadow hovered into view.
"I have completed absorption of the energies…and have made my decision" Metal Shadow said.
"What decision?" Egggirl asked.
"I am superior. Metallix…hold her" Metal Shadow said, and several Metallix surrounded Egggirl and Gothic Lolita.
"I shall absorb the power of Planet Bomber's sun, and with it, create a clone army. The Metallix empire will cleanse the galaxy…all will be made logical. We thank you Dr Egggirl…we will no longer require your services…and you are now scheduled for execution" Metal Shadow said, his eyes glowing with sinister light.
