Atomic Puppet: New Adventures
Chapter 9: Atomic Dog
"What was that," asked AP. Only to answer his own question as he, Joey, Pauline, and Wolf looked out the front window of Comics Man. Finding the cause of the screaming to be Senior Sub Atomic going on a rampage throughout Mega City. "Augh, not this thing again."
Senior Subatomic is a twenty foot, Lhasa, Apso dog, with purple fur, and owned by Mookie. Mookie's mom had bought Senior Subatomic as a birthday present for Mookie three years ago. At that time, Senior Sub Atomic was just a little, brown-furred puppy no bigger than eight point two kilograms. But when Mookie first saw the puppy attacking a chew toy, the wannabe hero/villain decided to turn the innocent dog into a weapon of evil. To do this, he ejected the dog with a growth serum, (that he'd bought on a black market website), which caused it to grow way larger than the dog ever could normally. Unfortunately, the serum also caused whoever took the serum to go on rampages and ignore the commands of everyone including their owners, (if they had any). These effects of the serum, combined with the dog's basic, puppy instincts, and prevented now enormous size, made Senior Subatomic a very dangerous creature. In fact, it took all of Atomic Puppet's energy just to tire the dog out long enough to get it chained up, and sent away to a lab till an antidote could be developed.
Joey knew that upon seeing the huge dog attacking the city again meant that his plans for some night time lovemaking with his girlfriend were automatically cancelled; along with enjoying the rest of the three-day weekend.
"Augh," he groaned, "lets power up."
Saying this, AP attached himself to Joey's arm, activating their powers as they transformed into Atomic Puppet.
"Be back soon Paula," said Joey.
"No you won't," combated Pauline. Knowing what was going to happen tonight.
"Just be careful ok." She said before giving Joey a quick kiss on the lips.
"I will," he said before flying off to fight the big purple dog, "I know I basically ripped off Clifford. Though in my defence I didn't realize this till two, maybe three days into working on this chapter."
"You better be," said a worried Pauline.
Wolf: "Ah don't worry, he'll be alright."
"I hope so," responded Pauline, as she put a hand on her stomach. "We hope so."
Meanwhile, somewhere else in Mega City
Mega City was struck by mayhem. Only ten minutes since Senior Subatomic had started attacking, and nearly an eighth of the city was destroyed. Right now the gigantic dog was chewing on a huge, bone-shaped sign from some pet store; while sitting on a smashed section of that same store.
At that moment, Atomic Puppet had just arrived onto the scene. The occupants of the store were running away screaming in fear.
Joey: "How'd this thing escape from the lab? I thought it was supposed to be injected with sleeping drugs every half hour till an antidote could be developed."
AP: "Don't know. Don't care. Let's just bag this dog and go on with our night."
"Agreed. Let's do this," responded Joey, (who just wanted to enjoy some "alone time" with his love), as he and AP, "as Atomic Puppet", charged straight towards Senior Subatomic, (the dog facing them). Only to turn upwards at the last possible second, grabbing the bone sign in the process.
Shocked, the dog turned his head in multiple directions. Looking for its missing bone till he looked up to find it in the hands of Atomic Puppet.
Senior Subatomic: "BARK! BARK, BARK, BARK!"
AP: "You want it? Come and get."
Saying this, Atomic Puppet began flying away with Senior, "a nickname I'm giving the dog," chasing after the hero. However, Atomic Puppet was much faster than the overgrown dog so the two heroes quickly went out of view of Senior; but because of the dog's sense of smell, it could still track AP. Which of course, AP and Joey had planned.
It had taken Joey and AP a few minutes to reach the pet store that Senior had been attacking. During that time, they'd figured out a plan for dealing with the overgrown dog. A plan that involved using a dog's weakness: their toys.
A few minutes later, Atomic Puppet had arrived at their destination: the construction site for the new Mega City Skateboard Park, (Skatetopia); with Senior Subatomic right behind them.
Skatetopia was planned to be the future biggest/coolest skateboard park in the country. Boosting the City's tourism, and distracting everyone from all the villains that infested Mega City. The city's mayor had come up with the whole idea as his legacy for when he passed away, (or retired, depending on which came first). It also served as a great way to boost his popularity during election years. Because of this, Mayor Geoffrey had made this a top-level project. Forcing all construction workers to take night shifts in order to have Skatetopia completed months before the voting started. Though upon seeing Atomic Puppet zooming straight towards them with Senior Subatomic following pursuit, the workers immediately abandoned their tasks, running as far from the construction site as possible.
Reaching the centre of the construction site, Atomic Puppet found a massive hole surrounded by six cement trucks.
"HEY BOY, COME AND GET IT!" Shouted Joey, as he and AP threw the bone sign into the hole. Senior then immediately hopped face first, into the hole; causing an earthquake to hit Mega City.
Though fortunately, the earthquake was just a minor one so the cement trucks were still in the same position that they were before Senior had hopped in; and undamaged. This allowed Atomic Puppet to execute the next stage of the plan: flying over to the nearest truck, Atomic Puppet used super strength to open up the drivers' section and turn on the machine. The cement truck then began pouring out wet cement into the hole that Senior, (who was currently occupied with the bone sign), was in. As the first truck did this, Atomic Puppet continued on doing the exact same thing with the other five trucks.
In no time, Senior became buried in, now drying, cement. By the time the cement was completely dry, a huge crowd of people had arrived on the scene to cheer for their hero's triumphant victory over Senior Subatomic; as well as watch as a bunch of policemen, dogcatchers, soldiers, and scientists removed the huge dog from the cement. All of which was being aired by Rex Bordeaux and his crew.
Rex Bordeaux: "Once again folks, the city is safe thanks to the heroic actions of Atomic Puppet. Atomic Puppet, do you have anything you'd like to say to the citizens of Mega-City?"
AP: "Just one thing."
Atomic Puppet: "Victory Pose!"
With that being said, Joey and AP did their classic victory pose right before flying off.
Rex Bordeaux: "Oookay. And in other news…"
