Chapter 60- A Random Challenge
New Challenge: beat the first glitch within 700 words. Ready, go!
"Alright, I'm gonna beat this challenge! There is nothing that will stop me!"
Missingno, you're wasting words.
"Hey, stop wasting my words! Wait, now I'm wasting words. I'm wasting words again!"
"Missingno." Koja shows up next to Missingno. His eyebrows scrunch up as he looks at him. "What are you doing?"
Cassandra runs up to them as well, with Driller in tow. "So, are you going to beat it with that thing?" She gestures to the rocket launcher on his shoulder.
"Yes, but there is one problem." He walks past them and snaps towards the approaching Muk. From the sky, a giant boulder drops down.
The Muk raises its one large hand and stops the boulder. Although unharmed, it does stop to absorb it.
"As long as that hand is moveable, it won't work. I need you guys to remove its arm. It will quickly regrow, but one second is all I'll need."
Koja looks back at the Muk. "And if it has other things to stop you with?"
"I have something set up in case of emergency, don't worry. So, now you two just have to look at each other and immediately know what you will both do."
Koja and Cassandra look at each other, then back at Missingno before replying together. "Yeah, no."
"What?"
Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "We barely met, and you think that we are that in sync?"
"Horrible band. But seriously, nothing? Stories always work that way."
Koja rubs his eyes with his forefinger and thumb. "It would require quite a bit for us to do such a thing." He perks up. "But I do have an idea. Can you drop another boulder, but right next to it?"
Missingno looks at him blankly, and from behind him they see two boulders drop from the sky. One drops right on the Muk, making it stop to absorb again. The other lands just a few feet from it.
Missingno shakes his head. "No, I don't think that I can."
Cassandra rolls her eyes. "So, Koja. What is your plan?"
A few moments of explaining, and a couple more dropped boulders later, the protagonists are ready.
"Um, does that line count towards the word count?"
No, but this does.
"Drat!"
"Missingno, are you ready?" Cassandra leers at him. "It might only give you one second."
"Right, right." He preps and aims his rocket launcher. "Go!"
Koja, Driller and Cassandra run towards the Muk. Koja fans to the side, Driller flies above, while Cassandra runs straight towards it with her hammer in hand. As they approach, the Muk ignores them as it keeps its attention on Missingno.
He fires, and the Muk reaches out to stop it.
As the Muk absorbs the rocket, Missingno smiles. "You understand that I'm a threat, but you shouldn't discount the abilities of my friends."
Driller used String Shot!
The Muk notices the three as a wave of sticky string drops from above and wraps around the its arm. The string starts to melt, but Koja isn't far behind. He touches the dropped boulder, and it turns into a large tanto blade. He swings it, slicing through the arm near the shoulder. Cassandra swings her hammer at the hand, smashing the arm. With it wrapped up, the entire arm is sent flying.
The Muk gets ready to attack them when its instincts flare. It looks back at Missingno, who has already rearmed the launcher. He smiles wide. "Told you so."
The rocket races straight at the shining teeth, and the Muk has just enough time to lower its head. But right before it hits, a Missingno from the circus pops halfway out of the Muk. He grabs the rocket, and passes it to another one. They pass it again and again until a lion and its tamer force open the teeth. There, a clown Missingno pops out of the tongue and takes the rocket. He looks at the others and smiles… And they close the teeth.
The mouth explodes, and from the dust cloud, a pair of golden teeth are sent flying. They shine in the sun as they fall towards Missingno. He grins, and swings a fist through them, shattering the teeth into pieces.
"Fistbending is back, baby!"
… That's good…
"Wait." He breaks into a sweat. "How words was that?"
… 701.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Missingno falls to his knees.
"Missingno, look alive." Koja arrives next to him, still keeping watch of the dust cloud.
Cassandra and Driller run back as well, and get ready for what might happen next.
Missingno gets to his feet. "I'm still not happy with your backstory, and now this?" His eyes widen as his grin fills his face. "I really need to fistbend something right now." He holds up a fist as he glares at the cloud.
Koja scrunches his eyebrows as he turns to Cassandra. "He means 'punch someone', right?"
Cassandra shrugs. "Maybe."
Suddenly, a figure walks out of the receding dust, putting them back on alert.
The figure is made of the same purple goop, but is now the size of a normal human. It is hard to see his features, but the spikey hair and purple goop cape distinguish him perfectly. And despite the uniform look of his face, a scowl can be seen on his face.
"Despair to the horror of Poison-type Pokemon."
"Yeah, that's Koga." Koja takes a step back. "They may all be false memories, but I still remember that I have never beaten this guy. And with being powered up as a glitch." He gulps loudly.
"Don't worry," Missingno grins at him. "I can take him."
Koga swings his arm, throwing globs of poison. They create puddles, from which new Kogas form.
Koga(?) used Double Team!
Missingnos grin drops. Literally, it drops off of his face and falls on the ground. From that position, it still talks.
"Or not."
