Chapter Four: Wreck and Roll
Back in the Dimension of the Gods, the other heroes had followed The Assassins all the way down to a long, empty stretch of road in the middle of nowhere where their black and red tour bus sat waiting for them. The red sparks soared down and vanished through the roof of the bus.
The teen heroes swooped down to the side of the bus, transformed back into their human forms, and dashed up to its door.
Spencer stepped up to the bus door, cupped his hands together, and yelled inside, "COME ON OUT, ASSASSINS, BECAUSE YOUR DAYS OF DESTRUCTION ARE NOW OFFICIALLY DEAD AS DISCO!"
There was no response from inside.
After a long wait, Spencer kicked the bus doors open and dashed up its stairs, followed closely by the others. The inside of the bus had black leather driver and shotgun seats, a booth on one side with red leather seats and a black table in the center, a sort of small kitchen area with a mini-fridge, stove, and black cupboards bolted onto the other side, and a black curtain which served as a sort of 'door' to the back.
Spencer walked up to the curtain and flung it open. He peered into the back, then turned to the others and shook his head. "Completely empty. Just a couple of bunk beds."
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the front of the bus. The heroes whipped around to see Kizu waving at them through the windows of the bus' door, which he'd just magically slammed shut. Kataki and Keigai suddenly appeared on the front of the bus, and with a snap of his fingers, Keigai sent a red spark through the window and right at the bus radio while Kataki zapped at the windows themselves.
A high pitched, deafening noise like a siren's wail except thousands of times louder suddenly blared throughout the entire bus. The horrific sound made the teens cover their ears and wince in terrible pain; it would practically have been enough to shatter the windows if Kataki's spell didn't prevent it.
Pharaoh slammed down onto his knees from the blast of the noise and glanced up to see his friends doing the same; Téa had even passed out from the deafening sound overpowering her.
The three rockers watched them through the bus windows. Their mouths were open and eyes winced shut from laughing hysterically as the sound slowly started destroying the heroes.
Pharaoh's eyes narrowed and glowed with blue magic. With a scream of rage, he rose up one hand and a force field crashed through the front of the bus, demolishing it entirely and sending The Assassins flying back and onto the ground along with pieces of glass and metal.
With the front demolished, the noise from the radio came to an abrupt halt. The heroes slowly got up, still reeling from the horrific noise ringing slightly in their ears. Pharaoh gently shook Téa awake and helped her get back to her feet.
"Ouch," Yuri murmured, rubbing his sore ears. "I knew this would involve pain, but that was just plain torture."
Keigai got to a sitting position and stared in horror at the open space before him. "HEY! THAT WAS OUR BUS!" he yelled out.
"Waa waa, boo hoo," Spencer replied, glaring at him with gold glowing eyes. "So sorry about your loss, but don't worry-you'll soon have a new place to live in. It's got four stone walls, one barred window, and a few roommates who will be oh so charming to have around, I'm sure."
Keigai jumped up to his feet, with Kizu and Kataki quickly following suit. "Yeah, sorry, but I think I'll pass," he snarled. He looked at his two friends and said, "Guys, why don't you do what only you two can do?"
Kizu and Kataki nodded. The pink-haired girl rose up her hands.
A whirlwind suddenly came up around her, sending her hair flying around her face. She flung her hands forward, and a huge gust of wind started flying through the bus, sending the heroes flying backwards and onto the bus floor.
Kizu then rose up his hands and started pressing downwards, as though he was trying to squish something in front of him.
The squeaking sound of metal being bent came from within the bus. The teens looked up to see that the bus roof was starting to bend down towards them, breaking the glass windows and sending the cupboards crashing down to the floor.
The horrified teens tried to run out, but the gust of wind was too strong for them; it simply pushed them back.
Finally, right when the roof was about to collapse on top of them and crush them, an angered Joey shifted his body into pure diamond, transformed his hands to knife-like shapes, and slashed a hole into the bus roof. Thinking quickly, Yuri hurriedly blasted up an orb of light blue magic up which sent the piece cut from the hole flying through the air.
Tristan held out his hands and conjured up another pair of them behind Kataki which flung her downwards, making her conjured wind stop instantly. Another wave from Bakura revealed ghosts enhanced with ectoplasmic energy that came up behind Kizu and also sent him to the ground.
Before The Assassins could retaliate, Téa quickly took in a deep breath and let out an ear-splitting banshee scream which sent the rockers reeling and knocked them out cold.
Once they were out, the teens got up and walked over to the killer rockers. Spencer gently tapped Keigai with his foot; he didn't even stir.
Nodding, Spencer propped up the rockers back-to-back and sent a stream of gold magic out which wrapped itself around them and bound them tightly to one another.
"Okay, now that these three dolts have been taken care of by us, our Kingrah Police can take care of the rest." He snapped his fingers and conjured up two items: a cell phone and a custom portal box. He flung the box onto the ground and zapped a spark into the opening, creating a portal which led right back to the other world. "In the meantime, could you guys por favor go relieve Kaiba of his, ahem, suffering?"
"Aw, can't we wait just a liddle bit longer?" Joey moaned.
Spencer rolled his eyes. "No, Joey," he replied. "We need to get C.J. back here so she can testify against those creeps."
Joey sighed and stepped through the portal, with the others right behind him. Spencer, meanwhile, turned around and, facing the remains of The Assassins' tour bus, dialed the Kingrah police.
While he phoned and the portal started closing, Keigai opened one eye and peered out to see Spencer's back to him and no one else around. Grinning nastily, he transformed into thousands of red sparks, picked up his friends within them, and soared up and right through the portal before it snapped shut.
