Chapter 10: Spaceship Nightmares
"Darn! Where is he?" Mike yelled as he went down corridor after corridor of the seemingly endless spaceship. "Heh heh! Come on Michel Jones! My spaceship isn't that big" Zoda laughed while watching Mike wander through his vehicle. Soon, Mike came to a big room and inside was 3 of his little green alien 'pals'. "Hey buddies! Did ya miss me?" Mike asked them as he entered the room with his Shooting Star Mace ready. "Human! Your back? We'll kill you this time!" The leader shouted as he and his little comrades took aim at Mike with there blasters. "Come on then!" Mike said, pulling out his ready Shooting Star. The leader shot 5 shots at Mike, and the 2 others followed his lead. Mike, however, dodged the blasts no problem and struck the leader with the SS 3 times. "Come on! You guys can do better then that!" Mike teased as one of the others shot 5 more blasts at Mike. Mike took the opportunity of the simple one-man shooting and struck the leader 2 more times. The leader screamed and blew up. At the sight of the fallen leader, the aliens started shooting like crazy. Mike, as quick and nimble as he was, used the ol' jump and shoot method he'd preformed several times in the past. This method was as complex as it got. Warning, if you have a weak mind, please skip to the double ()and continue reading from there. Mike's little plan, the jump-shoot method, consisted of Mike jumping when shot at, then shot at them once. Repeat. After 10 jump-strikes, the aliens were defeated. "Sorry fellows, but my girlfriend is more important then our 'friendship'" Mike laughed as he walked on. "Oh Mike!" Mica said quietly in the confides of her cage. "You shut up! I'm going to do what I want with you! And no little boy is going to stop me!" Zoda shouted at her. "Well, when Mike gets here, he's gonna kick your scrawny little ass!" Mica snapped back. "Now, princess! Is such language necessary?" Zoda asked nicely, like he was her friend. "When I'm around you, yes!" Mica screamed. Zoda was frustrated by Mica's attitude and backhanded her to the other side of the cage, knocking her unconscious. "Stupid little girl" Zoda turned and started to watch the screens again. He began to laugh when he saw the sight.
"Die!" mike cried as he struck the jet-pack jumper again. "Haha! That little puney thing can't harm me!" JPJ told him as he shot another bullet at Mike. "Maybe not now, but if I hit you enough, you will soon die! Everything will!" Mike screamed as he launched 4 more blasts at the JPJ, all connecting, but he just brushed them off. "Fool! I can't be killed with such a little weapon! Your too weak!" he yelled as he launched another blast at the tiring Mike. Mike, again dodged the blast, but jumped 2 tiles to his west and began to think about his situation. "Darn, how can I kill him! I'm so weak and whatever I throw at him doesn't hurt him! What to do... wait! My potion! I'll heal and get stronger!" Mike yelled in his head as he pulled out the small glass bottle. "What's that, human?" JPJ asked Mike, preparing his blaster. "Your death!" Mike yelled as he drank the potion all in one gulp. Mike began to feel a small serge of energy in him. He felt stronger and more powerful. "So, what was that stupid thing?" JPJ asked. "A potion!" "Gerr, you little pest!" JPJ yelled, launching another round of shoots at Mike. Mike, now with even more strength, easily dodged the already easy-to-dodge shots. Mike got to the jumper and launched 3 shots at him. The shots hit the JPJ, damaging his armor and one of which actually hitting the jumper. "ARG! How the hell did you hit me?" JPJ screamed. "I'm stronger! What do you think the potion did?" Mike grinned, shooting him again. "Pest! I'll kill you!" JPJ yelled, shooting at Mike again. "Nope!" Mike jumped to the side and struck the JPJ again, and again, and again. Finally, after another 16 strikes, JPJ shot his last and perished in a fiery explosion. "Told ya!" Mike said to the air. Mike went through the north door and up the stairs to the second floor of the spaceship. The aliens got smart then. They realized that Mike was a bit more trouble then originally thought. They began to attack Mike in packs of 5 or 6. However, because of Mike's motivation to save Mica, they were no match for him. "When will these stupid henchmen learn?" Mike said to himself as he took out the 3rd set of 5 aliens. Mike came to the room with the Vitamin X and picked it up, giving him the strength he once loved(and still does). He felt a super urge to kill the evil ones that continued to waste his time. Even the Golden Jet Pack Jumper was no match, as Mike completely annulated it in no time flat. Room after room after room, Mike continued to kill the aliens and make his way through, screaming, "You little freaks get outta my way or die!" Finally, the aliens were limited to just 5, but only 3 came after him in the room with the electric energy field. "Well, I love this! An energy shield I, but not you, can't blast through. And 3 more of my buddies. This will be fun!" mike grinned as he dodged the electricity and shot the alliens down, all in a matter of minutes. Still with no damage.
"Well, we need to rise him! Now!" Green alien 1 told GA 2. "Yes, let's do it now! It's the only way we'll be able to save ourselves!" GA 2 replied as he hit the large switch on the end of the room. Suddenly, out came half the wall on the end and a large red robot came out. "Welcome! Osterid Plus!" GA 1 and 2 said. The beast roared and began to jump, ready to kill. GA 1 shot and destroyed the button that got rid of the east half of the platform. "Now, that scum will die!" GA 1 said. "Yes, he will" GA 2 agreed.
"Well, time to get off this level" Mike said as he ran through the room to a long, skinny room that once held ol' Osterid. "Sense Osterid's dead, I'll not have to fight" Mike said as he walked through he door. Once in, Mike's jaw dropped. He saw 2 green aliens pushing a button and making 2 platforms appear. "Fools!" Mike yelled at the aliens. They turned around and shouted, "Not us who's gonna die!" Mike shot the bottom, GA 2, with his Shooting Star Mace twice before they emptied through the northern door. "Shoot" Mike spat out as he turned, and for the first time, saw Osterid Plus. "Uhh... I mean Shit!" Mike cursed as the giant beast began to shoot at Mike.
The battle to follow was a long, painful and aggravating one. Mike jumped over the blasts from the red Osterid, which seemed to fire faster then the last one. "Where did you come from? Did those aliens build another one?" Mike asked it, but the only response he got was a roar and a pea-sized shot in his shoulder. "Ow, that was more painful then I thought!" Mike screamed. "Die!" Osterid suddenly yelled and shot a large blast at Mike. "It talks?" Mike thought with such shock that he jumped only at the last second, narrowly dodging the blast that would have vaporized Mike. It hit the back wall and blew a whole in it, opening the already ventured through parts of the spaceship. "Thanks, more space" Mike laughed, pulling out his Shooting Star mace and beginning to shoot the robot. Mike was able to hit it enough to send it back, but it took more strikes to do so. Mike got it behind the button to drop the end of the walkway, only to jump on it and it do nothing. "Oh crap!" Mike cursed as he jumped on the button over and over. "This darn thing won't work!" Mike was so occupied by the button, that he didn't notice he'd stopped shooting Osterid and he was getting ready to squish Mike to a pancake. It roared and jumped. Mike turned around and saw Osterid in the air, coming down. "Oh Shit!" mike yelled as he rolled very fast across the foot long walkway, barely staying on. "Close! But I will kill you, anyway!" Osterid screamed in it's evil, mechanical voice. "I can't knock him over! And he can't be killed! I had my Super Nova last time, too!" Mike screamed inside his head. The Osterid shot at him some more, but to no avail. Mike, like Osterid, was launching, but Mike was hitting Osterid, and still, no effect! Mike kept backing up, still striking Osterid, as he felt the back of his shirt get fried off. "Woah! What was that?" Mike yelled, noticing his missing shirt back. Just then, the electric field came out again and went across the area, causing the heat off of it to burn Mike, even though the blast was 100 yards away. "The electric field! That's it! I can kill Osterid with the electric field!" Mike noticed and grinned. "Foolish human! I will kill you!" Osterid said as he launched another set of attacks at Mike. Mike struck the beast some more, and hit him enough to knock him back, due to his reflexes. "That does nothing!" Osterid yelled at Mike. "No" mike grinned, noticing the electric field power up behind Osterid, it's sensor going crazy know something was there. "But this will!" Mike screamed as he struck Osterid again and knocked him into the path of the field. It came out and struck Osterid hard, zapping the beast furiously. "Pain!" Osterid screamed as he bagan to step out. "No you don't!" Mike yelled, striking Osterid again and again to keep him in the path. "I will haunt you to your death!" Osterid screamed as the field intensified to it's full power, knowing that the creature in it's way was not frying. Finally, after another minute of the beam and of Mike hitting Osterid, he blew up in an explosion that knocked Mike off hit feet. "Sucker! Play with fire, or electricity in this case, and your get burned!" Mike laughed as he stood up. The field stopped, knowing the creature was gone. Mike noticed a small thing, like an little scanner, on the floor where Osterid once was. "Hmm, what's this?" Mike pondered as he picked it up and ran out of the beams way. He put it on and turned it on. It began to scan everything in the room, telling Mike how many hearts it had, it's name, and how many hearts each of it's attacks took away. It also told Mike about himself. It said:
Mike Jones
7/25 hearts
Attacks: Shooting Star 2hearts
"Cool, this could come in handy" Mike said as he began to step out of the room, but the beam launched a full blast shot at him. "Woah! That was close" Mike said. The scanner scanned it and it read:
Electric Field
100/100 Hearts
Attacks: Zap; 255 hearts;5012 hearts;7516 hearts;10025 hearts; full power100 hearts/second.
"Darn! Good thing I wasn't in that beam: Mike laughed as he walked to the door. Once through, he went up through the door the 2 green aliens went through and started heading to the stairs toward the top. "Zoda...you've kidnapped my girlfriend, tried to kill me, and killed the old lady who helped me. I will...WILL kill you this time!" Mike thought as he reached the top of the stairs. Mike ran and noticed that his upper chest was bobbling up and down. He stopped and noticed that he had breasts! "Great! I'm still a girl!" Mike cussed and went on. Once at the top, he noticed a door and the 2 green aliens. "Well, well, well. Ya'll run from me and then stop here. Stupid!" Mike snapped at them. The aliens stopped talking and looked at Mike. Mike's shirt was gone, thanks to the electric field and gravity. "You...your ar girl?" GA 1 asked mike, noticing his breasts. "For right now, yep. I'm a girl" Mike grinned as he grabbed his shooting star hit the already damaged alien. The 3 shots he launched killed GA 1 and left the weakened GA 2 in his path. "I can't believe you're a girl" GA 2 said, still stunned. "Well, as for right now I am. And now you get to die seeing a earthling boob." Mike chuckled as he launched 2 strikes at GA 2. However, being smarter then his fallen comrade, only took one of the hits. "Lucky!" Mike said as he shot 3 more failing shots at the alien. "Human! You will perish!" GA 2 screamed, shooting 5 bullets at Mike. Mike jumped and shot at the same time. He killed the alien, but hit the last bullet on his way down, injuring him. "Fight off the pain" Mike whispered as he walked toward the door. He began to pound on it, but he was so weak, he was down to his yo-yo. The little toy was doing nothing to the solid, 1" thick steel door. "Open...you...little...door..." Mike fussed through gritted teath as he continued to strike it. Nothing happened. "Darn! How will I get by?" Mike pondered, catching his breath. Suddenly, Mike breast went back to normal size and he looked like a boy again. "Ah, the spell is gone!" Mike noticed, still pondering.
Back behind the door, was Zoda and Mica. "Haha! He can't get through. But he's too close, I must finish Mica." Zoda thought, looking over to Mica. "Come on! Mike! Come through!" Mica yelled, knowing her boyfriend couldn't hear her. "Well, princess, time to finally take care of you" Zoda grinned, grabbing a small ray gun. "What are you going to do with that gun...?" Mica asked him. "It's a power gun. I hit you, I get your powers, you die. Simple, eh?" Zoda said, looking through the sight and aiming the gun. "Hey! Zoda!" A voice came from behind the door. "How did you speak to me from behind that door?" Zoda asked. "It's called, a whole in the door" Mike pointed out. "How! How is there a whole in my door?" Zoda asked, lowering the gun from Mica. "I put it there" Mike grinned, knowing he was getting Zoda aggravated. "That's an expensive door!" Zoda snapped at Mike, enraged. "Well, don't ya wanna kill me for it?" Mike asked, trying to get Zoda to open the door. "You bet!" Zoda, unaware of Mike's plan, opened the door. Mike ran in and began to launch his Shooting Star Mace rapidly at Zoda. Zoda, however, didn't see it coming and took 5 hits in his legs before catching on. "You little brat! Prepare to die!" "Release Mica and I might let you go!" "You won't be able to get away! She's mine!" Zoda yelled, charging toward Mike. "No! She's mine!" Mike said as he swung back his Shooting Star Mace and charged toward Zoda. "I'll kill you!" Zoda yelled. "This will be a fight to the death! But not for me!" Mike snapped back. The final battle had began!
