Calamity was flying through ACME Acres. The place has become a shithole. There was Dizzy, mutilating the corpse of one of Hamister's minions. There was Shirley, using her abilities to rip the head off another minion. There was Babs, using her ears to snap yet another minion's neck. There was also Sneezer, Sweetie, and Gogo, who have all been zombified. How Gogo got zombified was beyond his knowledge.
"I'm gonna kill Hamister for this." He sighed to himself.
"You page me, Calamity?" A voice asked.
Calamity activate an arm cannon before turning to see Hamister behind him.
"Get the hell away from me!" He yelled. "You're not making me into one of your slaves!"
"Easy now, kid genius." Hamister replied. "I merely wish to talk. I am fully aware of your hatred and anger towards Little Beeper."
"That is none of your damn business!" Calamity snarled. "Especially since I know what you did to my now former friends! What is even yours and Evil Steve's problem with us anyways?!"
"This place has been a bore from the start." Hamister informed. "Nothing but childish jokes and slapstick. I'm changing your home world for the better. Don't you see?"
"I see that you're a schmuck!" Calamity coldly replied. "You have nothing to offer me!"
"Not even power that could help you destroy Little Beeper?" Hamister asked.
Calamity stopped in his tracks.
"He's never been your friend, and he never will be." Hamister continued. "I could give you tips on upgrading your powers."
"I'm listening." Calamity replied.
"Talk to Monty." Hamister continued. "I've got him on my side with the aid of a couple of big bills. Perhaps Dizzy could be of use with his appetite."
"He is eating your minions." Calamity replied.
"He can be trained to do that to his former friends." Hamister replied. "How about you go talk to Monty, while I have a little word with our hungry friend?"
"Do not give me any reason to regret trusting you." Calamity snarled.
"Why would I do that?" Hamister asked. "You have an impressive robot suit."
Calamity flew over to Montana Max while Hamister approached Dizzy. Meanwhile, Furrball was clawing a minion to death, while imagining it as Sweetie.
"Like, bonjour, Furrball." A familiar voice cooed. "Let us have a, how you say, talk."
When Furrball noticed it was Fifi talking to him, he braced for history repeating itself.
"We already had one history with you chasing me!" He said.
"Who said anything abo... wait, what do vou mean?" Fifi asked.
"I had a stripe down my back, which caused you to mistake me for a skunk." Furrball explained.
Fifi was at a loss for words.
"Nevermind zhat now." She nervously said. "I merely wish to speak with vou. Even though le group disbanded, zhat doesn't me you and I cannot cooperate."
"Cooperate how, exactly?" Furrball asked, having scepticism in his voice.
"You could, how you say, keep me safe in case the number of normal minions and zombie minions get excessive." Fifi informed. "I know what happened to Sweetie, Sneezer, Concord, and Gogo."
"Why can't you keep them at bay?" Furrball asked.
"I only have my stink for self defence, and I am still practising combat." Fifi replied, seductively approaching him. "So I was zhinking since you and I 'ave chemistry according to le fans, we could cooperate."
She wrapped her arms around his neck, causing the blue cat's face to turn red.
"How about we cooperate against Hamister's minions, and in return, I can show vou affections without mon stink?" Fifi lovingly offered.
Furrball was expecting Fifi stink to come out, but it didn't.
"In case vou are wondering, I 'ave learned to control mon stink." Fifi explained. "So, we have a deal, no?"
With his face still red, Furrball nods, causing Fifi to have a beaming smile on her face.
Calamity flew over to Monty.
"Hamister told me you have upgrades for me." He informed.
"And that I do." Montana smugly replied. "I've got all sorts of robotic equipment, none of it cheap."
Montana revealled a box full of robotic upgrades.
"Seems interesting enough." Calamity informed. "These had better be legit."
"Oh, don't worry about it." Montana replied. "But first, I recommend this chip to plug into your suit."
Calamity took out the chip, and plugged into into the chest of his suit.
"So, what does it do?" Calamity asked.
"It turns into into a super violent fighter that serves Hamister." Montana replied.
"You son of a-!" Calamity yelled.
Suddenly, he started to shake like crazy, and his eyes started to turn red. The chip has taken full control of not only Calamity's suit, but also his body.
"So, who is getting crushed first?" Calamity asked.
"Start with those rabbits." Montana Max schemed.
Quite a cliff-hanger, eh? See ya next time.
