Chapter 11: Isolating Dan Phantom
Indeed it was yet another round for Monday Night Combat to which the Hotshots were hoping they'd use their new strategy to divide the Icemen up. The Icemen themselves were not happy with the lose of Serious Sam who fell to Jack and the Dark Knight in the last round.
"Something has to give" said Lilith, "that Dan Phantom can't be too proud of himself for long."
"Patience" said Jack, "we should find a way to isolate our foe."
"But what if he decides to take one of us out?" asked Bill.
"If we make him go rogue on his teammates it'd look bad for him" continued Jack.
"Sounds like the perfect plan for me in the case anyone of us volunteers to become the fall person" continued Batman.
"Now that sounds like a righteous sacrifice" said Bill.
Dan Phantom was more than eager to win it for the Icemen again, but Sub-Zero, Smoke and Beautiful Gorgeous obviously all had second thoughts already about Dan.
"I don't seem to really trust him" said Beautiful Gorgeous to Sub-Zero.
"I can understand where you're coming from" added Sub-Zero, "but we cannot bring any negative attention toward ourselves, we have to sadly work as a team with someone like him."
"Affirmative" said Smoke as the cybernetic ninja finally spoke, "he is a rogue member among us that we should be concern about."
"I say we let him" continued Beautiful Gorgeous, "it'd show what a fool he has been."
"Hmm, very interesting" continued Sub-Zero, "we'll see what this round brings."
As both teams headed out in the arena, Mickey Cantor was more than eager enough to be quite skeptical yet proud what might happen next.
"Well folks, it's another exciting round here at Monday Night Combat, the Icemen will need a lot of catching up to do if they are willing to improve from the embarrassing fall of Serious Sam from the last round" laughed Mickey who then displayed the actions of the Dark Knight and Jack taking down Serious Sam on a replay on the big screen, "I am pretty sure the Icemen won't tolerate rogue members, and you know who I am talking about."
Dan immediately decided to split himself into four clones and go after members of the Hotshots.
"Well that's just great he's going to get ahead of us!" cried Beautiful Gorgeous.
"That is what we may just need if he fails to crush any of them, it'd all we need to get rid of him" continued Sub-Zero.
"Hmm, that sounds quite the obvious" said Beautiful Gorgeous.
However things were not going to what the Icemen had expected to isolating their rogue member, Dan was having the time of his life beating up the Dark Knight and kicking around Jack and Scorpion along with also tearing up Lilith's weapon.
"I'm going to happily enjoy this" laughed Dan.
But as Dan and his clones were about to take out the three Hotshot members, Bill fired his weapon destroying all three Dan clones.
"Forgetting someone?" asked Bill.
"Are you insane, he'll crush you" said Batman to Bill.
"Yea, listen to your weak friend" laughed Dan, "who wears the mask."
"I faced zombies who are just as ugly as you, but comparing a zombie to someone like you is an insult to the zombie" laughed Bill to which the Hotshots began to laugh.
That obviously got Dan's attention in the anger area to which Dan decided to fire several ecto-energy blasts at Bill to which Bill then decided it was time to put the plan into action.
"Yea, that's right come chase me!" laughed Bill, "Catch me if you can!"
"Oh, I will catch you alright" said Dan as his clone appeared right in front of Bill, "I'm going to give you the pounding of a life time, something which those zombies you claim to be facing never bothered to because they're brainless!"
But as the Dan clone was going to try to lay his hand on Bill, Bill managed to out maneuver the Dan clone, and then dodged an ecto-energy blast fired from another Dan clone.
"You sure do speak more than the zombies I face back in my world, but you're probably dumber than they are!" laughed Bill.
"Stop it, stop it!" roared Dan.
While the Hotshots and the other Icemen concentrated on fighting each other, Dan was having a tough time getting rid of Bill.
"Ha, you missed me!" laughed Bill as Dan swung a punch and missed.
Bill then leaped up a platform and headed up trying to escape Dan, but Dan and his clones followed.
"You shouldn't have come up here old man" said Dan as he and his clones were right there waiting, "I'm going to enjoy kicking you off this platform!"
"I'll like to see you try that" laughed Bill.
Dan and his clones charged at Bill to which the fight itself was bring broadcast on the big screen.
"Whoa, for someone as old as him, he still can give several good punches, I hope the Icemen feel they don't have any shame or not for this rogue member or maybe the rogue member would turn on them" laughed Mickey.
Dan ended up becoming ten times more angry as he noticed the footage on the big screen. He then delivered one blow that sent poor Bill falling right off the platform to which both Pitgirls from the two teams rushed to treat him. In the end it was a round that the Hotshots lost, but it was a necessary lost to expose Dan what he truly is, Bill indeed was voted off by the Hotshots and robotic guards took him to the inter dimensional portal where he was sent back to his own world.
"Well folks we'll have more Monday Night Combat right after these messages from our various sponsors" laughed Mickey.
