Alright, this chapter isn't really about action. It's more of a comedy-based chapter.
No TV and no beer make Homer…something, something. Homer Simpson, The Simpsons
Chapter 12: TL Gone Nutty
When the group of three entered the circular room, a small door opened and revealed an arena.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY?" TL shouted.
Announcer: THAT'S RIGHT, FOLKS! WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL FOR YOU TODAY! WE'VE GOT THE DEATH COURSE, ARENA COMBAT, AND THE ROBOT RAMPAGE ALL IN ONE DAY!
"HEY, SEE HERE…!" Xem shouted.
"Guys, I don't think shouting will do anything." Clank stated.
"Just…THINK FAST." Ratchet said as he pulled out his N-90 Hurricane. He then began firing as several robots and warriors appeared.
The robots had a single wheel to propel their giant bodies towards the group. They either had spike-balls or cannons for hands.
The warriors had green skin, spiked armor, were heavily-muscled, and were armed with either swords or whips.
"Hoo boy." TL said as his right hand began sparking with electricity, "THIS is gonna be tough. It's an army against…just three of us."
"Better change those odds." Said a familiar voice. Three people then jumped into the arena—namely Sylar, Hanabi, and Rattrap.
"Did you HONESTLY think we'd just abandon you?" Hanabi asked.
"Uh…point taken." TL said.
"But why'd you leave ME?" Xem asked.
"Ah, we just like watchin' ya suffer." Rattrap shrugged before saying, "I am transformed!"
In a burst of red light, Rattrap changed into his robot mode.
"Why does this guy look like a wheel-chair?" Ratchet asked.
"We'll make the OTHER introductions later." Sylar said, "We've got a group of enemies coming at us."
As if to make his point, Sylar brought his hand in a sweeping motion. Two warriors were sent flying.
"BYAKUGAN!" Hanabi shouted. Chakra began pumping into her eyes as she flew towards a robot and successfully broke it in half with a surgically precise blow to its chest.
Xem let out a shout as he pulled out the Shock Cannon and the Darkside Blaster. He then began firing in random directions.
TL jumped at a robot and delivered a circular kick that knocked its head off. He then thrust out his right hand and short-circuited another robot with a burst of electricity.
Ratchet began firing with his Hurricane. Four strikes to a robot and they were down.
Announcer: OOH! THIS LOOKS INTENSE! BUT HOW WILL THEY FARE WITH FICTORIAN HALLUCINATING GAS IN THE STADIUM?
"Fictorian Hallucinating…oh, SNIP!" TL swore.
A grayish smoke began to fill the arena. Hanabi sniffed it and coughed.
"They're burning TOBACCO?" she asked.
"Uh…this may be a bad time, but to Fictorians, tobacco is…" TL's explanation was cut-off. His vision began to blur and odd colors began to fly through his vision. His pupils widened as a somewhat demented smile spread across his face and he danced off, humming like an idiot.
"A powerful hallucinogen." Sylar finished.
"Is…he gonna be okay?" Ratchet asked.
"He should be. At this point, he's more of a danger to himself." Sylar replied before throwing a robot behind him. It exploded.
"It's…A GIANT MUSHROOM!" TL exclaimed, "MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!"
"I'll pretend like I didn't hear that." Xem stated as he continued fighting.
TL, on the other hand…
TLSoulDude: Raindrops keep fallin' on my head…
Kiwi (Chowder): Congratulations, TL. You've completely lost your mind.
We're not gonna go there.
A soldier stabbed Sylar with his sword. Sylar sighed, "Nobody seems to get the point…"
Sylar grabbed the soldier's helmet and liquefied it. He then grabbed the soldier's face and froze it solid.
Meanwhile, TL…
"I baked you a pie." TL said, holding out a pie.
"Oh boy, what flavor?" asked an excited (and imaginary) Spongebob.
"PIE FLAVOR." TL replied with false intensity. A pie suddenly rose out of it.
Was STILL hallucinating.
Hanabi flew towards a gladiator and hit it with a gentle fist. Had TL been in his right mind, he would've had everyone freeze in place while he corrected her posture.
TL, on the other hand…
"Hey," the Grinch said, "It says 'gullible' on the ceiling."
TL looked up and actually found the word 'gullible' on the ceiling.
"Oh, so it does-" TL then realized that he had a gaping hole in his chest and Grinch was holding a white box that read 'lungs', "Oh, ya stole my lungs!"
Ratchet swapped his N-90 Hurricane for a Multi-Disc Blade Gun. He fired it and sent the disc at a robot. The blade split into two as they ricocheted off the wall, splitting into four blades.
Meanwhile, TL…
"HA-HA!" TL laughed, "They said I could NEVER teach a llama to drive!"
A llama was bleating as it drove towards the edge of the arena.
"NO, LLAMA, NO!" TL shouted. The llama drove over the edge into the lava.
Announcer: ALRIGHT, OUR CONTESTANTS HAVE SURVIVED THE ARENA COMBAT! NOW, FOR THE FINALE!
The smoke was then ventilated out as Rattrap held out the arm of a blaster robot.
"Hm…" he thought.
TL shook his head as he stood up, "Uh…why was I sitting over there and why do I feel like I've been quoting Flipnotes from my DSi?"
"Because…YOU WERE." Rattrap deadpanned.
"Guys, just get ready." Ratchet said as he pulled out his Plasma Storm.
