Chapter 8: Picking Off Brick
A certain Dan Phantom was strategizing what to do next as he was pondering in the locker room of the Icemen.
"Thinking of something?" asked Beautiful Gorgeous to Dan.
"How to get rid of that Brick guy now that Duke Nukem is no longer a threat" continued Dan.
"Keep on thinking then" sighed Beautiful Gorgeous.
It was finally time for another round as the Icemen came running into the arena.
"Welcome to another round of Monday Night Combat, let's hope we'll have a winner in this round" laughed Mickey.
Dan took the lead with Smoke at his side while obviously invisible, Serious Sam decided to take a back seat along with Beautiful Gorgeous as they were providing extra backup for the two.
"Do those two know what they're doing?" asked Serious Sam to Beautiful Gorgeous.
"How the heck should I know" replied Beautiful Gorgeous.
"Let's hope those Hotshots are ready for this!" laughed Mickey.
Indeed the Hotshots came right out, Batman was typically in the lead with Scorpion and Lilith behind him along with Brick, Bill and Jack.
"Looks like we came out just right in time" said Bill as he loaded up his weapon.
Bill then began to fire at where Smoke was, but couldn't really pin point him. Smoke ended up using his spear to which Bill ended up dodging the attack.
"Careful" said Lilith to which she then fired a grenade from a grenade launcher at Smoke.
Smoke ended up flying into the air, but landed on his feet.
"Wow, what a close comeback, he almost didn't make it there folks!" laughed Mickey as he showed Smoke's techniques being displayed on the big screen, "Maybe the Icemen can beat the Hotshots!"
"Don't count on it" said Batman.
The Dark Knight threw some Baterangs at the weapon Beautiful Gorgeous was going to use as she was trying to reload her gun knocking it right off her hand.
"Maybe you should switch your main target to getting rid of the guy in the mask" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
"He's more of an amusement circus freak" laughed Dan.
"Somehow, I beg to differ" sighed Beautiful Gorgeous.
Indeed Dan was concentrating on the wrong target as the Dark Knight crept up he quickly managed to knock out Makoto with a few punches and then went after Sub-Zero with help from Scorpion.
"I'm going to enjoy this!" laughed Scorpion.
Sub-Zero was able to defeat Scorpion easily but it would be obviously harder to defeat the Dark Knight.
"Hmm, it doesn't sound that much interesting, we should let in a few Bouncers and Blackjack bots just to make things a bit more interesting!" laughed Mickey.
Indeed several Bouncers along with Blackjacks came running into the scene. Jack used his sword to destroy a few Blackjacks along with also slicing a Bouncer in half. Jack's attacks on the Bouncers and the Blackjacks were shown on the big screen in an instant replay.
"Now I know why he was selected to help me keep up my ratings!" laughed Mickey.
Jack ended up being ambushed by a Bouncer to which Brick ended up just simply punching the Bouncer right off of Jack.
"Thanks" said Jack to Brick.
"Yea, don't mention it" said Brick.
But suddenly a blast of ecto-energy was sent straight toward Brick sending him crashing against the wall.
"Ouch, that had to hurt, let's see that again on the big screen!" laughed Mickey.
The surprise attack obviously belonged to Dan who was more than willing to stop at nothing to squash Brick.
"I'm going to destroy you brick from brick" laughed Dan as he made a pun of Brick's own name.
"Quickly get to safety!" cried Jack.
"I don't run" replied Brick.
Suddenly Dan ended up splitting himself into four and began to give Brick quite a pummeling, but in spite of the four Dans beating up on Brick, Brick managed to send out a burst of strength and knock each one of the clones of Dan everywhere on the arena.
"Wow, incredible, he managed to take that beating!" cried Mickey as he displayed Brick's will on the big screen.
Brick then turned his attention toward Dan as his clones vanished.
"Now I am going to teach you the meaning of the word hurt" laughed Brick.
Brick charged at Dan, but Dan was able to out maneuver Brick at every turn, but before Dan could unleash an attack on Brick, a few Bouncers surprised the two ended up getting the two in quite a mess that is until Beautiful Gorgeous and Bill decided to rescue their teammates as they ended up shooting the Bouncers.
"Really nice strategy" said Beautiful Gorgeous in a sarcastic tone to Dan.
"Hey at least I am not knocked out like Makoto" continued Dan.
"As I was saying earlier" laughed Brick as he was getting ready for another fight with Dan.
"You really had to get the big guy angry did ya?" asked Bill.
Brick charged at Dan again, he grabbed Dan and ended up doing a body slam with Dan. Dan ended up disappearing and reappearing right behind Brick. He fired an ecto-energy beam right at Brick sending him crashing against some of his teammates whom were fighting the other members of the Icemen.
"Why not let in some of the Gremlins, come on this will be fun, fun, fun!" laughed Mickey.
Indeed more Gremlins came running into the arena to which both teams had to concentrate on going after the Gremlins. It ended up catching Scorpion off guard to which Batman had to go and rescue him from the Gremlins.
"I didn't need help!" cried Scorpion as he didn't like feeling helpless.
"Look, I don't want to make you look like a fool" continued Batman.
The yellow ninja grumbled a bit as he then destroyed an oncoming Gremlin, the Gremlins were everywhere but it ended up being no problem for Dan nor was it for Brick whom were destroying most of the Gremlins. As each of the Gremlins destroyed, the two ended up making it into a competition of who'd destroy the most Gremlins.
"Think you're so tough as me?" asked Brick.
"Ha, I'll always be tougher" laughed Dan.
As the time ticked by, the Gremlins were less and less until it was quite the obvious Brick had destroyed most of the Gremlins making it a win for the Hotshots.
"Oh yea, it seems the Hotshots have made up for their loss, time for the Icemen to vote someone off!" laughed Mickey.
Sadly it seemed like it was time for Makoto to go home as she was escorted out by robotic guards to the inter dimensional portal, Beautiful Gorgeous wasn't happy that Dan was still around.
"You better win the next one for us or I won't be happy" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
"Don't worry, I have a full proof plan" laughed Dan.
