Editor's Note- Okay, I know that chapter was pretty fast and somber but give me a break! I was in a rush! Let's see some sympathy! This is my first time! Thanks to Miss TrippyLombax and Santus Sanguis(cool name!) for your reviews.Anyway, how will the Q force react to Skidd's demise and who's next on Reznor's hit list? Read to find out! (Note: Words written like this are a flashback to after Skidd's demise.) Get some popcorn. This could take a while.
Chapter 9: Rage
Ratchet's ship arrived in the Starship Phoenix's hangar to applause. Ratchet climbed out of the cockpit, his face looking down.
"Woohoo!"
"Way to go, Ratchet!"
"Bet you showed those New Breed posers!"
"Skidd must have been great!"
"Where's Skidd?"
Darla Gratch arrived at the battlefield.
"This is Darla Gratch, here on Planet Aquatos with somber news. It seems hoverboard champion Skidd McMarx has died and here to explain is New Breed leader Dorg."
"Well, Darla, what happened was a horrible tragedy but everyone in the galaxy should remember one thing. Accidents happen."
Ratchet began to walk towards his room, his eyes never leaving the ground. Sasha grabbed his arm.
"Ratchet, where's Skidd?"
"Skidd's- Skidd's not coming back, Sasha."
Everyone looked shocked.
"What?"
"He's gone."
Everyone couldn't seem to let it sink in. Helga began openly weeping. Al kept saying no to himself. The galactic rangers were electronically crying and holding each other. Sasha excused herself to her room quietly.
Ratchet walked to his room with Clank following close behind.
"Ratchet?"
Accidents happen
"Ratchet?"
Accidents happen
"Ratchet?"
"Clank?"
Clank stood with his mouth open. Ratchet had turned around and he was shaking.But he wasn't shaking with sadness. He was shakingwith anger.
"I'm going to makethem pay, Clank. I'mgoing to make them pay if it's the last thing I do!"
On a distant asteroid...
The environment was desolate and barren. Gray rocks were everywhere and the only thing around. Except for two robots.
"Lawrence?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Are any ships in the area?"
"No sir for the 746th time."
"You've been keeping track?"
"It's not like we have anything else to do."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means if you wouldn't have your head upyour ass,-"
"LAWREN- Oh, Rob! I've always loved you. That's why I had a sex change operation! B-But you were a girl?"
Lawrence hit Nefarious in the back of the head. Nefarious growled angrily at him and moved to the other side of the asteroid. Hours passed. Nefarious' anger cooled.
"Lawrence, I'm sorry."
"Lawrence?"
"LAWRENCE?"
Dr. Nefarious turned around and saw a sight that made him stop and gasped for air... if he breathed. He saw his butler impaled on the end of a laser blade wielded by a towering monster.
Reznor stared at the source of the energy anomaly. Pity. He won't be much of a challenge. Too bad for the butler. He sacrificed himself for the other freak.Now that's job commitment.
"Why?"
Reznor looked up from the butler.
"Why did you do it?"
He threw the butler's dead body aside andlooked the robot in the eyes.
"Because I can."
The robot ran toward him with fists clenched.
RAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Reznor backhanded him with little effort.
AHHHHHHH!
He was sent crashing but came back up with twin machine guns in hand.
CHKTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
Every shot bounced off Reznor's skin as he raised a hand to fire a dark blueplasma ball.
BOOM!
Nefarious fell tothe ground once again and rose again, slower this time. He put 2 fingers to his forehead and sent a hologram flying towards Reznor. He simply stood there with his eyes wide open. Those huge eyes. The hologram sped towards Reznor, raiseda fist, and shattered the moment he hit Reznor.
"Hahaha!"
"Quit laughing you freak!"
Nefarious began lobbing bombs but Reznor walked straight through the shockwaves.
"Alright, prepare for my ultimate attack!"
Dr. Nefarious hovered into the air and charged red-orangeenergy. He released the energy in the form of missiles that headed straight for Reznor.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
Dust rose from the explosions and Dr. Nefarious watched with anticipation. When the smoke cleared, Reznor was still standing with no damage. He was psychically holding 5 missiles and sent them towards Nefarious, with the devil's smile on his face.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
Nefarious struggled to get up with cracks in his green dome and one eye was completely destroyed. He finally rose to his feet.
"Prepare for my other ultimate attack!"
He once again rose to the air and charged dark purple energy. This time, he released the energy in a purple beam.
HUUUMMMMMMMMMMMHUUUMMMMMM!
Reznor formed a circular shield in front of him to block the beam and sent the shield forward. When the shield reached Nefarious, it exploded.
BAM!
Nefarious was sent backwards by the shockwave. When he looked to Reznor, he saw him concentrating. A hologram was sent towards the robot.
CRUNCH
One arm was cut off. Nefarious let out a scream of pain. Another hologram was sent towards him.
CRUNCH
Both arms were gone and Nefarious tried to fly away, which made him realize: Why couldn't I just fly from the asteroid?
CRUNCH
One leg was severed by a hologram and a final one was on its way.
CRUNCH
The final leg flew off as Reznor walked towards the torso and head. He picked up the doctor.
"Go to hell, you son of a b-"
Those were Dr. Nefarious' last words as Reznor pulled out his mechanical heart.
Final Thought- Wow! that chapter was long and violent. I need some side effect suggestions if you wouldn't mind and please review.
