Chapter 5: Duke versus Sam
Once again it was another round for Monday Night Combat, the remaining contestants were gearing up ready to take each other on.
"Welcome back to another Monday Night Combat!" laughed Mickey as he was on the megaphone, "Last round was quite intense with the Icemen member Dan Phantom giving the Hotshots a run for their money, who'll come out on top next? Find out more after these messages!"
Indeed the Hotshots were regrouping on what to do next making up for the round that they had lost. Duke Nukem was the one who'd be typically taking charge.
"Alright listen up" said Duke as the members of the Hotshots gathered, "we need to take down the Icemen's best members."
"That crazy Dan Phantom?" asked Lilith.
"Yea, he needs to go down fast or we'll be toast" continued Duke, "any bright ideas?"
"There's always a chance that we can outsmart him" replied Batman.
"I say the only plan of action is to smash him" laughed Brick who was willing to do it.
"Oh yea, that worked really nice when Kitana tried it" sighed Bill.
"You got more to prove than me pal?" asked Brick who didn't like Bill questioning him.
"What about the samurai?" asked Duke as he noticed Jack was obviously quite quiet.
"There needs to be another method to this" said Jack.
"Like what?" asked Duke.
"By making him feel too overconfident" continued Jack.
"Hmm, that might be a good ploy to work out" said Duke.
After a few more minutes the Icemen were led out onto the field along with the Hotshots whom were gearing up ready to fight each other.
"A new round to crush my opponents" laughed Dan who was well prepared.
"Which one do you think should go next?" asked Serious Sam to Dan.
"Hmm, sounds like that guy could be a good target, he sounds like he could be your arch rival" laughed Dan as he noticed Duke Nukem leading the members of the Hotshots.
"Time to bring out the big gun" laughed Serious Sam.
"Just what does he have in store for him?" asked Beautiful Gorgeous.
"Who cares, we're just going to target the others" laughed Dan.
"Looks like the Icemen are setting up the barricades for the onslaught prepared by the Hotshots!" laughed Mickey as Serious Sam was setting up the turrents along with bringing out a large machine gun.
"Time to light it up!" laughed Serious Sam.
Sabertooth along with Sub-Zero, Ryu and Makoto went ahead to delay the Hotshots from taking on Serious Sam.
"I smell someone familiar" said Wolverine.
"Like me?" laughed Sabertooth as he pounced down.
Sabertooth pummeled Wolverine and Batman while Ryu fired a Hadoken at Brick sending him crashing against the wall.
"I got this one" said Lilith as she aimed her weapon at Ryu, "not so fast!"
But before she could fire her weapon, Makoto came quite fast and kicked Lilith's weapon right out of her hand and ended up knocking her down.
"That's good" said Dan as he appeared before the two, "but I can do better."
Dan split himself into four and began to fire his ecto-energy blasts at the Hotshots. Scorpion who had enough of it decided to dodge the oncoming attacks and ended up taking off his mask and use his fire breath on Dan and his clones to which the real Dan got hurt by Scorpion.
"Ouch, that was quite a burning experience, let's see that in an instant replay!" laughed Mickey.
Indeed Scorpion's ambush on Dan was replayed on the big screen which angered Dan quite a bit.
"You'll pay for that" said Dan to which Sub-Zero held Dan back.
"Let me handle him, trust me I fought the guy before" said Sub-Zero.
"Fine" grumbled Dan.
Indeed Sub-Zero stepped to face Scorpion who was rather familiar with the rival ninja.
"So, you're here as well, all the better for me to take you down" said Scorpion.
"As much as I'd like to meet back with an old friend we still have trouble to face" said Lilith.
But as the two ninjas were likely going to fight each other, Smoke came into the scene to help out Dan and the others whom were guarding the main base.
"Time to smash my way through!" laughed Duke.
"Wait, what about the plan?" cried Jack.
Duke ended up doing Scorpion's job as he literally knocked out Sub-Zero with one punch even shocking Scorpion a bit. He then charged at Dan who was prepared to face off with Duke Nukem.
"What a fool!" laughed Dan.
Dan attempted to use the work of himself and his clones in targeting Duke, but Duke was able to take each one of the clones along with Dan quite easily.
"Whoa, looks like Duke Nukem is making up for the Hotshots' poor performance in the last round!" laughed Mickey as he then showed Duke Nukem's surprise attack on Dan Phantom in an instant replay on the big screen, "Yes the Hotshots are on a roll today, but can they keep it up?"
Things were not looking good for the Icemen even Beautiful Gorgeous didn't seem to like Duke being on the roll that he was. Duke took out Ryu and Makoto quite evenly along with Smoke as well.
"Out of my way!" laughed Duke.
"That guy's going down" said Serious Sam as he geared up.
"You better get this one against him or you'll be the one who's going out" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
"Don't know, that Duke Nukem guy roughed up some of our other teammates" said Serious Sam.
Indeed the only other teammate that Duke hadn't roughed up was Sabertooth who was too busy fighting his old rival Wolverine with some help from Batman.
"Know him?" asked Batman as the two were hiding.
"Yea, I fought him a few times here and there" replied Wolverine.
"Anyway to come up with a strategy to beat him?" asked Batman.
"Still thinking" replied Wolverine.
Indeed Sabertooth was tearing up the Hotshots whom were coming his way.
"This is too much fun!" laughed Sabertooth as he knocked down Scorpion with one blow and started to move on Brick.
"I'll skin you alive!" roared Brick as he charged at Sabertooth.
Sabertooth ended up pinning down Brick to the wall to which Sabertooth was literally going to end Brick for good.
"You want to take someone down, why don't you take me down instead, it's who you want" said Wolverine as he came out of hiding.
"Sounds like my kind of target" laughed Sabertooth as he dropped Brick.
Sabertooth and Wolverine clashed at each other, meanwhile Duke was on the warpath trying to face off with Serious Sam. Beautiful Gorgeous who had built several turrents had activated them to which the turrents began firing at Duke. But Duke who had a few guns with him loaded up and destroyed each one of these turrents.
"Whoa, did you see that folks, that deserves an instant replay!" laughed Mickey to which Duke's tactics were displayed on the big screen.
"Time to show that his fifteen seconds of fame are over" laughed Serious Sam.
Serious Sam then began to fire his machine gun at Duke who was on the ground to which Duke began to dodge the oncoming bullets.
"This guy's good" said Beautiful Gorgeous which intimated Serious Sam.
"Knock it off" said Serious Sam.
Duke ended up sneaking around and leaping onto the platform itself to which Serious Sam turned his attention toward Duke.
"You're going down!" laughed Serious Sam.
"No, you are pal" said Duke.
Duke charged at Serious Sam while also dodging the oncoming bullets, he ended up giving Serious Sam several good punches and kicked Serious Sam right off the platform.
"And it seems like Duke Nukem just keeps on getting those instant replays for the Hotshots!" laughed Mickey, "Well, it seems the Hotshots win this round, time for the Icemen to send someone packing!"
Indeed the Icemen were rather divided on who'd send someone home. The votes were indeed tallied and in a tie vote, Sabertooth and Serious Sam were the ones that were voted the most. A robotic guard ended up escorting the two to a private arena.
"Well, we got ourselves a tie-breaker!" laughed Mickey to which Juice Bot came right out, "We have enhanced Juice Bot for such an occasion whoever can shoot Juice Bot or claw him the most will win the tie-breaker!"
Serious Sam was again on a roll as he ended up shooting Juice Bot quite a bit with his weapon whereas Sabertooth had a difficult time going up close to Juice Bot and slice him with his claws. As time went on it was obvious Serious Sam was the champion.
"Looks like poor Sabertooth gets to go home for good" laughed Mickey to which Sabertooth was escorted to the inter dimensional portal, "we'll have more Monday Night Combat right after these messages!"
