Chapter 1: A vacation gone wrong

June 10, 20XX AD...

A few weeks had passed since the evil King Sirius's demise, but even so, Ami and I of the Four Contras had to go through some training exercises with Bill Rizer and Lance Bean during the world tour. Penny Crygor, on the other hand, modified Ami's Bomberman Watch by and infusing it with holy power, so that her own cartoon bombs never harm the innocent. The only thing exempt from this issue is whatever debris that may have been thrown by the bomb blasts (i.e. walls, trees), which goes to show the old saying: With great power, comes great responsibility. After all, people are well-used to the painfully obvious, that explosives can harm anyone within the blast radius.

In addition to holy-powered bombs, Ami was also given two additional bombs to her watch's arsenal. In other words, the normal bombs she had before are Fire Bombs; whereas the new ones are the freezing Ice Bombs, and the electrical Thunder Bombs. Whichever one she used, the innocent can't be hurt from the blast. Yumi used to have a Bomberman Watch, but decided to return it to Crygor Labs for good, preferring to stick with her trusty guitar and leave the Bomberman-esque action to Ami. As for me, while I did attain an official license to use automatic firearms, it would be a while before I ever get a holy-powered weapon of my own. Ever since we got back from killing Sirius, Penny borrowed the AK-47 machine gun I had as a starting point (although she intends to create what we would call the "Contra Rifle" from scratch). It would be a while before I'm officially ready to lead our own team of four, but it will be worth the effort.

For now, Bill, Lance, Ami, and I headed off for our vacation spot on board an experimental vehicle, which functioned just like Dribble and Spitz's taxi cab, only it's a sports car. We simply named it the "Contra Cruiser" to best fit our title. Eventually, we arrived at Dinosaur Land, said to house the Yoshis on Yoshi's Island...

"Well," said Ami, "this is the place!"

"This brings back memories of Super Mario World on the SNES." I agreed.

Bill spotted some feather-like items. "Not to mention those Cape Feathers that give people an ability to fly with a yellow cape...or, so it was said."

"Wouldn't hurt to try 'em out," said Lance. "Race you around Yoshi's Island, Bill!"

"Heh." Bill smirked. "You're on, ol' buddy."

"Yep! I feel like a kid again, already!"

And so, Bill and Lance got the Cape Feather power-ups, and flew around Yoshi's Island, while I helped Ami set up our picnic. Approximately 3 laps around the small area later, the two Contras decided to head back...only to find something amiss.

"Uh-oh..." said Lance. "Uh, Bill?"

Bill landed safely on the surface next to Lance. "What is it, Lance?"

"Weren't our friends here just a few minutes ago?"

"They were; I'm sure of it." Even Bill became suspicious as to what happened. "Hmm…something doesn't seem to add up. The Contra Cruiser's engine is pretty banged up!"

Lance opened the engine to check for damages. "Try frozen – with solid ice! There's only one person we know who's capable of doing something like this!"

"Wait a sec..." Bill stopped what he was saying for a moment. "No...it's not possible. It can't be! She and the others are already dead! We kicked their asses nearly 5 years ago!"

With Bill and Lance left as the only witnesses of the sudden kidnappings, they could only pinpoint the assault, including the frozen engine, towards Arctic Bomber, the self-proclaimed "Mistress of the Cold" and only female of the Hate Bombers. But, how she, along with the other three, came back to life was a different story...one that we were all about to find out during our 3-day vacation.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Chapter 1 has come and gone, but we're just getting started! Alright, so maybe "Contra Cruiser" is a bit cliché for a vehicle's nickname. But hey, some heroes need a form of transportation when they can't fly themselves, right?
