Chapter 9: You're a mean one Diesel 10.

Bebop and Rocksteady had hopped back into their van, then they started driving all the way back to the Dieselworks to report to Diesel 10. Once they arrived outside the gate to the Dieselworks, they climbed out and stretched a little bit.

Bebop: "Man Rocksteady, did they really think they could hide in some stinky factory?"

Rocksteady: "Indeed comrad Bebop, pathetic heroes hiding out in new cruddy building. What do they think them are, migrants!?"

Bebop: "Nevermind, let's report to big #10 and tell him the good stuff yo."

With that said, Rocksteady and Bebop started walking off toward the main building of the dieselworks.


Meanwhile inside the building, Diesel 10 was watching Syndrome and Vector work on the inner joints of how much they've done on the mega cannon. But the way he saw it, it wasn't going as well as he thought.

Diesel 10: "A little to the left…...no the left!"

Suddenly while Vector was trying to attach a side-cylinder, he accidentally dropped it. The cylinder clanked to the ground, and it rolled off the edge of the higher floor and crashed into a small pile of junk below.

Vector:(chuckles nervously) "Sorry boss."

Diesel 10 just growled in disappointment to himself.

Diesel 10: "Good help is so hard to find, aye pinchy?"

Diesel 10's claw then chomped it's spiky jaws twice. Just then, Bebop and Rocksteady walked up alongside him where Diesel 10 immediately noticed them.

Diesel 10: "Well, about time you bozos showed up."

Bebop: "Relax boss, we found what we were looking for."

Diesel 10: "Which is…."

Rocksteady: "Bunch of heroes hide out at factory building on mainland, we soon pop them heads like blueberry."

Diesel 10: "Factory building?"

Bebop: "I think it was a steel factory, just my best guess."

Diesel 10 thought about this for a moment, then he realized what they were talking about.

Diesel 10: "The mainland steelworks aye, quite clever for them."

Overhearing on what Diesel 10 was saying, Syndrome stopped working and looked over at Diesel 10 feeling slightly annoyed.

Syndrome: "Excuse me, you're actually liking the way those heroes think!?"

Diesel 10: "Silence Syndrome, I'm trying to think!"

Syndrome just rolled his eyes, then he went back to work. Meanwhile, Diesel 10 started thinking really hard. But while he was doing that, Bebop started making a suggestion.

Bebop: "Yo Mr. 10, it's not that big of a deal. We just have to finish up this big boomer over here, then take it to that little place those big zeros are hanging out at and destroy them there."

Suddenly, Diesel 10's face lit up as quick as a flash.

Diesel 10: "...That's it….Zeck, you're a genius!"

Bebop: "Heh, I know yo."

Rocksteady: "Hey, what Rocksteady get!?"

Diesel 10: "Quiet you!"

After that, Diesel 10 looked back up at the mega cannon with an evil smile.

Diesel 10: "So, you're finding a place to hide aye? Well, not on my watch you don't. Once we get this cannon finished, you will finally be no more. And your villains from far and wide will rise, and your beloved peace will be no more!(laughs evilly)


That night, we view the outside of the dieselworks building with a light on coming from the inside. Inside the building, Diesel 10 was on the higher level staring at how much of the mega cannon that was done. Rocksteady was over by an old console on that was also on that level, and Tiger claw was standing by another side of the cannon and admiring how far they were on it.

Tiger claw: "I say Mr. 10, you've done wonders with this cannon so far."

Diesel 10: "Of course I have, I'm Diesel 10. With just a little more supplies, this mega cannon will be ready for hero-hunting."

With that said, Diesel 10 rolled up in front of a massive mirror that was on the wall. He looked into it with a handsome look on his face, then he started getting something on his mind.

Diesel 10: "Hmm, I feel like we should finish this job with a bit of music. Ha-ha, hit it Stranko!"

With that said, Rocksteady pounded his fist on a big red button. After the buildings speakers made some scratchy noises, it started playing some funky jazz music. To Diesel 10, he even felt like singing the first bit to himself in the mirror.

Diesel 10: "You're a mean one…...Diesel 10 (chomps his claw twice to the beat)...you dominate the line."

(Outside in the dieselworks yard, Diesel 10 was seen sneaking down a set of tracks going through a bunch of large piles of scrap. Soon enough, he started digging his claw through the piles looking for as much good stuff as he could find.)

"You're as funny as a scrapping-I don't really have the time,Diesel 10."

(At 1 moment, Diesel 10 pulls out his claw which 's bottom jaw happens to be drooling green slime. Diesel 10 grins evilly, and he does his best to keep all the slime in his claw.)

"You're a slimy diesel with a claw that seems to have its own mind."

(A few minutes later, Diesel 10 glides into the building and onto the turntable with his claw overflowing with parts. He spins on the turntable for a second while cackling, then the turntable raises him onto the higher level. After he sets down his supplies, he, Tiger claw, and Syndrome each started welding the bottom of the mega cannon stand onto a flatbed.)

"You're psychotic….Diesel 10!..."

(While Diesel 10 was welding, he stopped for a moment lifting up his welding mask.)

Diesel 10:(opera-like) "Your hearts an empty hoooole!"

(The moment he says "hole," he shoots fire in the air from the flame thrower attached to his claw. Later, Bebop is seen plucking a just-molded bolt from the smelting shed. Then Rahzar comes up holding a large barrel of cold water, and Bebop drops the bolt into it.)

"You're an annoying 1-trick monster in a movie that never sold, Diesel 10.

(When Rahzar takes the bolt out again, it's now looking like an everyday bolt. Rahzar gives it to Diesel 10 who looks at the bolt closely from his claw, then Diesel 10 chuckles evilly.)

"I really thought it was funny when you fell off that bridge."

Diesel 10: "Hey!"

(Later, Diesel 10 is back in the main building. Rocksteady and Bebop are twisting some extra bolts on each side of the cannon, and Diesel 10 was back to welding the stand to the flatbed with a pair of welding goggles.)

"Truth be told!"

(Next, Rahzar and Tiger claw were each seen welding extra panels on the cannon. Later, Rahzar is wearing an orange hard hat and walks up to Diesel 10.)

Rahzar: "There you go boss."

(He gives him a wrench, then Diesel 10 takes it with his claw and gets a good look at it.)

Diesel 10: "I asked for 3 quarters, not ⅝'s. Stay focused Bradford!"

(Diesel 10 then gave the wrench back to Rahzar, then Rahzar walked back to the toolbox while pinching the bridge of his nose.)

"You're a vile one….Diesel 10….."

(As Diesel 10 was installing a rear view mirror, he looked into it and smiled cunningly. But unknown to him, a few brown termites were crawling in between his teeth.)

"You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Diesel 10."

(Next, Diesel 10 watched Tiger claw pound on a license plate for the cannon. He lifted it, then he blew off the welding dust and both he and Diesel 10 looked at it with a smile. When Tiger claw put up the license plate, it read "Devious D10" in bold dark green.)

"Given the choice between the 2 of you, I'd take the….."

(Finally at the crack of dawn, Diesel 10 was sitting on the turntable inside the building looking at the code slip he found from the heroes. On the higher level, Rahzar, Tiger claw, Rocksteady, Bebop, Syndrome, and Vector were all standing around the cannon staring down at Diesel 10. The slip definitely did read "seasick crocodile," and Diesel 10 just smirked down at it evilly.)

Diesel 10:(throws theslip away) "Seasick crocodiiiiiiiile."

(The moment he said "dile" in "crocodile," Diesel 10 started spinning on the turntable. But while he was spinning, the light sequences of the cannon (including the inside) started glowing light purple. It was official, the mega cannon was ready for action. The villains on the higher level knew this already, and they calmly applauded with delight. Back down by Diesel 10, he didn't realize that he was now spinning a bit too fast on the turntable. Before he knew it, he was starting to feel sick as his cheeks turned bright green.)
