If I did, I'd swim in money, bathe in money, eat with money, and I'd even be able to fly. However, in reality, I do not. Reality sucks. So don't sue me.

In this chapter, Vectorman and Venom square off as Station Square faces annihilation once more. This is the first of the last three chapters in this fanfic and that means that I'm going to start a new one soon, so keep a look out. Anyways, here's chapter eighteen!

Scene Eighteen

Queen For A Day

(Vectorman 2 (Sega Genesis) - Final Boss Theme restarts)

Vectorman immediately ran to the left and began shooting at Venom's exposed behind. Venom retaliated by firing small fireballs from it's mouth.

(A.N. I'm not positive on whether Venom is a guy or a girl. So, from here on, I'll call it an 'it'.)

"You may have defeated those fools' alliance, but I shall be more than a match for you!" Vectorman laughed as he continued shooting. "Yeah right, ya oversized insect!" Venom continued it's assault and once or twice Vectorman got hit by a fireball. That gave Vectorman an idea and he activated his fireball mode. He began a bright red and small flames flew from his body. Vectorman fired a single fireball and part of Venom's behind exploded. "Argh!" Venom then stopped moving it's legs and fired fireballs that exploded upon contact with something.

(A.N. Note: This does not happen in the game. It continues firing the same fireballs all the time, which is probably why it's an easy boss to beat.)

Vectorman didn't see the leg coming up behind him until he was in the air. Then, Venom began to bounce Vectorman back and forth with it's hind legs. "I didn't ask to be used as a volleyball! Put me down!" Venom laughed. "Hahahahaha! As you wish." Venom picked Vectorman up and smashed him into the cement in front of him. "That's not what I meant. Ow." Vectorman converted back to his normal firing mode and he continued to run back and forth while shooting his arachnid opponent. Again, he got hit by one or two fireballs as he continued his assault. Finally, he managed to get an open opportunity for a boot-blast. Unfortunately, he jumped up and was batted away by Venom's hind leg.

Vectorman stood up and fired another round of shots before Venom's posterior exploded again. "AH!" Venom growled. "I've had it! I didn't come this far just to lose!" Venom then used it's legs to push himself of off the building's side and it walked down to the ground level. As it stood to it's full height, Vectorman whistled. "You are a lot bigger than I thought you were. But, still nothing I can't handle." Vectorman rolled under Venom and shot it's behind a couple of times before it turned around, waved it's head, and unleashed a small wave of fire. "Nice. That makes it even better."

Vectorman continued to run under Venom again and again and after awhile, he got annoyed and began using energy shots. This had a nice aftereffect on Venom and he soon was defeated.

(Vectorman 2 (Sega Genesis) - Final Boss Theme fades out)

Shortly before it exploded, Venom out one last cry of agony. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Vectorman suddenly started. "Wait! This thing's a bug! If it explodes, then…" He never finished because Venom exploded at that moment, sending greenish spider guys everywhere, completely covering Vectorman's front. Sonic and Knuckles covered their mouths, Amadeus nearly fainted, Ash did faint, and everyone else just looked away. "Execute… Immediate cleanup… Of subject Venom's body." Executing cleanup… As the guts began disappearing little by little, Vectorman just held still until he was one hundred percent bug gut-free. Cleanup complete.

A few minutes after that, the group was back in Knothole where people began cheering over the defeat of not only the alliance, but of Venom as well. Vectorman just stood there and beamed. "All in a day's work."

Gasp. Another deafeningly short chapter. Anyways, in the next chapter, Vectorman and Ristar say their good-byes and head off. Read and Review or I'll hunt you down and skin you like a tater!
