Chapter 14: Getting Even with the Icemen
Indeed with a three versus three round between the Icemen and the Hotshots were likely going to heat up. Jack was trying to come up with a real plan to deal with Dan Phantom to which Lilith was doubtful it would work in the end.
"You sure you know what you're doing?" asked Lilith to Jack.
"Positive" replied Jack, "this Dan Phantom character is as strong as Aku from my world, but we'll find a weakness soon enough."
"You better" laughed Lilith as she went off.
The Hotshots indeed were prepared what else was coming next for them as they headed out onto the arena. Meanwhile the Icemen led by Dan was quite confident he could win the round.
"You sure you can win this, I say our next target should be that samurai" said Beautiful Gorgeous to Dan.
"Bah he doesn't look so tough, that yellow ninja, what's his name?" asked Dan.
"Scorpion" replied Sub-Zero.
"Oh yea he sounds like the perfect target to get rid of" laughed Dan.
"You really are going to miss an opportunity of taking down someone who just as much brains as you have bronze" laughed Beautiful Gorgeous.
"Welcome to another round here at Monday Night Combat, here your host Mickey Cantor, let's hope we have a fun time this round!" laughed Mickey.
"Oh you can bet that it'd be fun" laughed Dan.
Dan set his sights on Scorpion as he along with Jack and Lilith took their positions.
"I'll go after Beautiful Gorgeous as always" laughed Lilith.
"Sub-Zero will be yours" said Scorpion to Jack.
"Why?" asked Jack.
"I cannot stand someone like that guy beating me down in a round ago" continued Scorpion.
"I see" said Jack who felt he wasn't confident that Scorpion could beat Dan.
"Well, well, well, look who seems to come back for another beating" laughed Dan.
"I'll make you regret what you did" roared Scorpion.
"Let's find out if that's the case" laughed Dan.
Dan immediately split himself into his clones and began to charge at Scorpion. Scorpion ended up pulling off his mask and used his fire breath at Dan and his clones. Dan and his clones ended up recovering and charged at Scorpion punching the yellow ninja all at ounce. Meanwhile Jack was fighting Sub-Zero as he was trying to dodge the ice that was coming at him.
"Why do you put up with him?" asked Jack to Sub-Zero as they were doing hand to hand combat.
"You mean that Dan Phantom?" asked Sub-Zero.
"Yea him" continued Jack as he dodged Sub-Zero's fist.
"We put up with him only for our own survival" continued Sub-Zero as he tried to freeze the ground to make it slippery for Jack.
Jack ended up leaping over the icy ground and managed to kick Sub-Zero down.
"Well he won't help you in the end" replied Jack.
"Let's see that in an instant replay!" laughed Mickey as he showed the fight between Jack and Sub-Zero on the big screen.
Indeed the fight was displayed on the big screen showing Sub-Zero being defeated by Jack. Meanwhile Lilith and Beautiful Gorgeous were evenly matched between each other.
"I see you're not going to smack down that Dan Phantom guy are ya?" asked Lilith.
"Nope, as long as he has something else to focus on, I don't care" laughed Beautiful Gorgeous.
Beautiful Gorgeous was indeed right as Scorpion was struggling to fight off Dan and his clones. Scorpion used his spear at Dan bringing him right over to which he then delivered an uppercut to Dan.
"Let's see that in an instant replay!" laughed Mickey.
Scorpion's moves were indeed displayed on the big screen to which angered Dan quite a bit. Dan then charged at Scorpion and gave him several good punches and ended up kicking Scorpion down to the ground. Scorpion on the other hand teleported and ended up punching Dan from right behind.
"You're quite the persistent one" said Dan to Scorpion.
"You'll regret making a fool out of me" roared Scorpion.
"Ha, I can already make a fool out of you, and it's not that very hard to do" laughed Dan.
Dan then held his breath and gave his Ghostly Wail targeting Scorpion, but the yellow ninja held his ground. He then once again teleported right behind Dan and smacked him from behind.
"That's it, you're done to me!" laughed Dan.
Dan grabbed Scorpion by the neck and pinned him down to the ground, but before Dan could lay his fist on Dan, Sub-Zero who recovered from the attack by Jack noticed Dan was going too far with this and froze Dan's fist before it could smash Scorpion.
"You!" roared Dan to Sub-Zero.
"It seems we have some friendly fire in the arena!" laughed Mickey as he was displaying Dan not being very pleased as he then used his ecto-energy powers to break the ice that covered his fist.
"You'll pay for this!" roared Dan as he then began to fire at Sub-Zero along with Jack indiscriminately.
Dan apparently did not care who he'd hit in his rage against the two warriors, but as the clock was ticking it was quite the obvious that it was going to be a win for the Hotshots.
"Whoa, looks like that friendly fire costs the Icemen the win!" laughed Mickey, "They'll likely be sending someone home."
"And I know just who to send him" laughed Dan.
Indeed Sub-Zero was selected as Dan and his clones typically enough stuffed the ballot on why Sub-Zero was selected which was the obvious case. The blue ninja was escorted by robotic guards to the inter dimensional portal where he was sent back to his own world.
"And we'll have more Monday Night Combat right after these messages" laughed Mickey.
