Chapter 3: Samurai Subway Showdown
The Omnitrix has begun to time out as just Stinkfly landed near the entrance to the subway."Well, guess this is the place." Nate looks around the tunnel as he steps down. Nate then saw some thugs up ahead and ducks behind some crates. He peeked out and counted 10 thugs. "Time to go wolf wild." Nate smirks as he turns the Omnitrix dial and slaps it down. The thugs heard the sound and turn to the crates, just as a figure leaps out and landed in front of them. It was Blitzwolfer, growing and glaring at them, claws and fangs ready. The thugs were startled at first, and then decide to rush at him. Blitzwolfer smirk and split his muzzle into 4 and took a deep breath.
"HHHHHOOOOOOO!" He unleashed a supersonic howl that was so powerful it cracked the ground. All of the thugs were blown away by the green shockwaves and crashed into the wall, exploding into code. Blitzwolfer walked up after he stopped and smiles "Looks like my bark is just as worst as my bite!" He taunts as he crosses his arms. His sensitive ears flicker as he turns to his left just in time for a train to pull up to the station. "Grandpa always said hitchhiking is always a bad idea, but if it takes me to Sodom faster, then time to hitch a ride." He said as he approached it. The doors open up as Blitzwolfer step inside, and then close behind him, missing his tail.
The trains started to move while Blitzwolfer staggers for a bit then regain his balance. He then started to sniff with his noise, noticing a familiar smell. He turns to the front of the car and opens the doors. He saw 6 more thugs in the next car. "Hey, what's a mutt doing here?" "I'm not a mutt, I'm a wolf!" Blitzwolfer yells as he charges to the thugs, to which 3 of them had pipes for weapons. The thugs swung their weapons, but he grabbed all 3 in his strong grip as the thugs tried to pull back. He slashes at them with his claws. When he was done, the pipes started to fall to pieces as the thugs looked at their broken weapons in shock, giving Blitzwolfer enough time to bash their heads together and toss them out the then clawed at other 2 and then grabbed the last one's arm in his teeth. He then started to lift and shake him around like a rag doll. He then tosses him into the others, deleting them as well.
"Triple slam for the win!"Blitzwolfer said as he pumps his right hand. He then timed out and looks at himself and groans. "Great, now I have to wait till the watch turns green again." Nate then peeks through the next car door and was surprised to not see any thugs in it. He opens the doors and walks through while looking around. "Hm, guess this must be a safe car." "Nate, are you there, can you hear me?"Nate looks around, startled by the voice he just heard. "Whoa, that sounded like Poison, but where?" Nate then felt something in his left pocket and looks through it. He felt something and pulled it out, revealing a small black walkie-talkie.
"Come on kid, respond." Nate realized that the walkie-talkie had Poison on it. "Poison, is that you?" He said as he holds the device near him. "Oh good, your there, I see you found my little gift to you." Poison said on the other one. "Wait, you gave me this walkie-talkie, but how" Nate questions as he wonders how she got it into his pocket. "I slipped into your pocket just as you're were looking at the map. I also gave one to Jess so she can report any trouble at City Hall. Anyway, I'm calling you just to let you know that I will contact you time and time again to give out Intel on any new area you're in, okay?" "Okay, thanks a bunch, Poison, over and out." Nate said as he puts away the radio.
He then continues on, passing 2 more empty cars before stopping outside the 4th's door and peeked inside, seeing 8 thugs in the other car. "I better go with Four arms for this batch." Nate said as he selected the Four arms icon and slams down. The door exploded and want flying, hitting and destroying 2 of the thugs as the others turns to were the door was. Standing was Not Four arms, but Heatblast instead as he looks at himself. "you know Omnitrix, Heatblast does not sounds like Four arms at all. Whoa, I'm Heatblast instead of Four Arms in a Subway again. Talk about Déjà vu. " He said remembering that this kind of thing happened before when he first faced Charmcaster. Heatblast then focus as charges to the thugs as they start to attack him.
Heatblast dodges to the left of a thug's fist before uppercutting him then throwing 2 potent fireballs at two more oncoming, sending them flying out through the windows. 2 more thugs grab his arms, but he turns up his fire and burns their hands as they scream in pain while waveing there hands around. He then roundhouse blaze kicks them 2 times, deleting them as well."If you can't stand the heat, stay away from me." He quips as he dodges the last thug trying to hit him and turns around, facing him, he holds out his hands in front of him and fires a powerful flamethrower, blasting the thug forward,crashing into the 1st thug as he was getting back up and to the front of the train and smashed into the brake lever just as they exploded. The train then screeched to a stop, making Heatblast want flying out and tumbled into the tunnel before coming to a stop, laying flat on his back.
"Ugh, note to self: Never do that again on a moving train." He said as he rubs his flaming head. He then stands up and saw a boarded up wall in front of him."Wood, really? that's the best you guys could come up with?" He said with a deadpan tone. He then throws another fireball at the wall and it exploded, clearing a path for him."Okay, now to see where this goes to." Heatblast said as he runs into the opening. It was dark in the tunnel with his fire as the only source of light. He then heard cheering and saw a light in coming in front of him as he ran. He noticed that the floor as became metal instead of rock. He yipped in surprise as his footing was gone and dropped to another floor as suddenly, spotlight lights lit up and showed Heatblast that he was in a arena just as 4 huge iron cage walls came down on the sides of the ring, making it into a cage arena. He then noticed Mad Gear thugs in the audience everywhere outside the arena.
Just then, He noticed some one in the left corner from his view and saw Sodom, with his head lowered. His head looked up and stand up as he drew his 2 swords. "I'm taken your Sodom and also guessing you're the silent type, right?" Sodom said nothing as he approached him in a battle stanch. "Okay then, buddy, get ready to feel the-" BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Heatblast eye sockets widen as he look down at the blinking symbol and then a bright flash of green light appeared in his place, blinding everyone there for a few seconds and then died down. The crowd then looked back the cage and gasp in shock to see a kid where the magma monster was. Nate eyes widen in terror and looked around as he realized he had been exposed and can hear some of the thugs talking to each other. "What's a kid doing here?" "Never mind that, how did he became the fire monster?" "Hey, I think he was those other monsters the others got beaten up by." "He also must be the one that saved the mayor's daughter! Leaving us without a hostage!" Some thugs committed out loud and then audience yelled out in anger. Nate sweats in fear, realizing the jig is up.
He then looks back at Sodom, whose face is behind his mask that hides his expression, approached and leans down to stare at Nate who smiles sheepish at him" Uhhh… Want to call it a tie?" He questions him. But it did not work as he raised his right sword and tried to stab him, but he jumped out of the way in time and started to run around the arena, screaming with Sodom chasing after him. The crowd was cheering on this action in the background. Finally, after chasing him around the ring for awhile, Sodom had Nate backed against the cage. He holds his left sword to his face, showing Nate's panicked reflection on it, and raised it to slice at him. Just then, Nate notices the watch was fully charged and slam on it, without caring what alien he got as Sodom brought the blade down. Suddenly, Sodom's left blade broke on impact and was knocked out of his hand. He looked at his broken weapon then at Nate who had a yellow plated arm in front him and pulls it back.
Nate has turned into Cannonbolt and glared at Sodom, who backs off. The crowd was also shocked and scared, realizing they were also in trouble too." Samurai warrior, meet sumo slammer!" He said as he glares at him. He then curled up into a ball and started to roll forward. Sodom jumps out of the way as he passes through. He then bounced off the steel cage wall and then started to ricochet off the walls and bounce all over the place as Sodom tries to hit him. His other sword got knock out and shattered by Cannonbolt."Ever play Dodge-ball, buddy? Well now's your chance !" He yelled out as he started to ram right into him, sides, up, down, He started to pummel Sodom to the dirt. He started to weakly get up until Cannonbolt rammed him one last time and destroyed him. He then burst through the cage and started to bowl over the thugs.
"Nate? Nate? Where are you, bro?" Crystal calls out as walks in her brother's room, after looking all over the house for him. Crystal was getting worried sick about him while being annoyed by hiss antics. "Great. Only 2 weeks has passed since he got sucked into an alternate dimension and now he's disappeared again! I'm so going to give him a magical charlie-horse when i get my hands on him!" Just then, she noticed his Flat screen T.V. and PS4 were both on as Video game noises comes out of the speakers. "Uggg... How many times to i have to tell that kid? Always turn his game off when he's done with it. He shouldn't even leave on in the first place with this storm going on outside." Crystal said as she picks up the discarded controller, unaware she is pressing the start button, and starts to approach the screen.
Cannonbolt rammed through another group of thugs and then bounced off a wall, sending him high in the air and was about to belly flop on to another group. But just as he was about to get rid 3 quarters of the crowd... DING Cannonbolt suddenly finds himself floating in midair, just as where the remaining goons are as well. "What's going on!? I can't move! It's like i'm paused or something!" Cannonbolt then widens his eyes in realization that the game was paused. "Wait a minute, Mom said Crystal was in charge of the house. Which means want into my room because she noticed i was gone, so she's messing with the Controls! Which means... If she turns off the game,she'll not only deleted it! She'll Delete me too!"
As Crystal's index slowly approach the power button on the PS4, unaware she was about to destroy her very own brother. "CRYSTAL, NO! DON't SHUT DOWN THE GAME!" Crystal gasped in surprise, backing away from the T.V. with the controller clutched to her chest. She then realizes that was Cannonbolt's voice. As she looks at the screen she then widens her eyes in surprise seeing Cannonbolt floating in midair above a group of gangsters. "Nate!? Is that you!?" She then sat down on his bed and picked up a nearby gaming headset and plugged it into the controller, allowing her to communicate with him as she adjust the microphone part. "Please tell me this is just 1 of your pranks or an hidden camera show. Crystal groans out in dismay.
"So, now I have to fight the last boss of the game to get Upgrade's DNA so i can get out of this game!" Cannonbolt had just finished explaining what is going on to his sister. "There must be something i can do... Wait what if i can get one of my spells-" "NOOOO! I mean... no offense, sis. But I don't think using magic is not a good idea. It might end up backfiring in a big way. Like the Megawatts." Cannonbolt teased remembering what happened during the stop at Sparksvill. "You're never going to let that go, aren't you!?" Crystal's voice echoed out in the game in annoyance. "Look, just hit resume and don't touch anything else. Just leave the rest to the game pro. That's me by the way." Cannonbolt smugly said. "Real funny... Okay, here goes!" Just then, everything want back in to motion as Cannonbolt slammed into the group and bounced away, rolling back into sphere mode as he takes out the last batch.
"Huh? Looks like my brother combined Final Fight with Street fighter and Darkstalkers. Hmmm... since the new fusion game is like a 3D beat-em-up, I wonder?" Crystal questions to her self as she looks at the game cases of Street fighter 5 and Darkstalkers Resurrection. She then leaves the as she puts the games down as she returns with one of her own games: Ninja gaiden Sigma 2. She then opens the case and take out the instruction manuel and starts reading.
Cannonbolt slowed down and then uncurled himself, seeing that he had beaten Sodom and bashed away all the thugs, he smirks and put his fists on his hips."Oh yeah, That Samurai just got squashed! "He then timed out and fist pumped. "Wicked awesome!" He then looks at the arena to see 2 Omnitrix tokens floating where Sodom is defeated. He then ran to ring and heaved himself over the ropes. He got closer and sees the icons: one was a bulking figure with 2 towers on his shoulders and the other was a small pudgy like figure.
"All right, Frankenstrike and Upchuck!" He then holds out his Omnitrix and watch as the get sucked in to it. He looks and sees the same icons in his watch. The map appeared again, only this time, there were 2 more symbols in an area that had a casino and a bar on the map, it is called "Westside". The map closes back as Nate heads out of the underground arena. "Well, next level, here I come!" As he found the exit and leaved the building he was in and followed the signs that had pointed him to where he needs to go next.
