I like everyone else here doesn't own fusionfall
Chapter 37: Banana Games
The next three weeks had been incredibly hard for Holden since the Professor had made the decision that Holden and the girls were to make up the school work they had missed since the war started and in his and Buttercup's case, since they went missing. What had made it hard for him is that whenever Holden was in the midst of his work, he was interrupted by someone requesting his assistance. Grim had called him because, he had been accused of being a traitor by Numbuh 1, but it appeared Fusion Mandy had been behind what was happening at Bravo Beach recently. Holden and Numbuh 4 had also taken out a Fusion Toiletnator in Really Twisted Forest that same day. The fusion had been hunting down Coco to take her to Fuse. At least Holden had gotten a Nano from it for his trouble.
Four days after that, Holden was joined by Numbuh 3 on a mission into Area 51.5, where they found Fusion Sticky Beard. It had been hording a cache of items that Dexter had requested Holden to recover and it was later revealed that these items were going to be used to create experimental nanos. Holden had gotten a nano Sticky Beard from Dexter for the work he had done.
Then barley a week later, Six had called Holden for help due to a fusion of Rex showing up in Downtown near the Providence base on the opposite side of the fissure. Rex's inability to use his nanites was a small problem, and after the fusions were taken care of, Holden spent the rest of the day figuring out what was the cause of Rex's powers issues.
It turns out the Pack was in the sewer system trying to find a fusion of Van Kleiss who was messing with all the nanites. While Holden didn't get any nanos, he did learn a bit about nanites and EVOS.
The following week, Holden and Ben were collecting samples for Mandark and Mojo in Off World Plaza when they started to talk about Vilgax and calling him squid face. This lead to an argument over the nancom network between the three villains and the following day, Holden, Dexter (who's arm was now mended), and Ben had to break up the fight in the old munitions depot in Off World Plaza.
They later learned that two Fusions of Ben had been the ones to egg on the three villains. Holden, along with Max and Ben had no trouble squelching them and even getting nanos of Swampfire and sixteen year old Ben for their trouble.
Six days later, Bubbles was freaking out over a Manatee that had run ashore on Orchid Bay beach. Holden and Buttercup decided to investigate only to discover half a chalk board with orange writing that pointed them to a fusion lair. Inside, was a fusion of Eduardo, but it didn't attack. It instead, gave them some information on imaginary energy and then asked them both to destroy it before it lost control of it self. Both teens carried out the last wish of the fusion before returning home to finish the last of their backlogged school work.
The very next morning, after a quick breakfast, Holden sits down in a chair at the table in the kitchen, finally able to catch up on the last of the school work he has missed over the last year. There isn't that much left to do, but Buttercup is further ahead then he was.
She finally puts down her pencil, breaths a sigh of relief, grins and says with victorious relish in her voice, "Finally done, in…your…face…little bro! I'm surprised your brain hasn't exploded from doing all this work."
Holden frowns and replies in a tone of disgust, "If I didn't keep getting distracted, I would have finished by now."
Buttercup grin broadens and replies, "If anyone distracts you, I'll beat the tar out of them."
Holden laughs and states, "It would be utterly pointless…"
Holden's Nancom goes off and Mojo appears on the small screen and he then says, "I, Mojo Jojo have a task of the uttermost importance for you. I want you to find my fusion bananas at Bravo Beach, because I can't not find what is not here."
Holden rolls his eye and replies sarcastically, "Anything else you need me to do Mojo? Maybe you want me to write your next monologue while I'm at it."
Mojo scowls at him and but continues, "I want my minion that are mine and not Fuse's returned to me at once. They should be Spawn Simians like the ones underneath the Volcano." Mojo abruptly hangs up.
Then, the backdoor flies off its hinges and there stood Brick with a smile on his face.
Buttercup turns to look at him and shout angrily, "Hey moron, it's called knocking!"
Brick smile broadens and replies, "You really want to get into this Bittercup?"
Buttercup scowls and replies, "If you don't get the door fixed we will!"
Brick scowls and spits on the floor, "Fine, fine, I'll replace the stupid door after my current assignment. Dolten, Mojo's task takes us in the same direction."
He then grins evilly and grabs Holden by the collar and files back out the door with Holden yelling in protest.
Buttercup rolls her eyes as she heads to the living room to throw out what's left of the backdoor.
Brick throws Holden down into the sand before he lands. Holden spits out sand and some saltwater and looks back at Brick with a disgusted look in his eyes.
"Yuck! You could have at least let me get into my armor before you dragged me out of the house. You can also tell me how you knew I was going to be coming down here." Holden replies as he spits more sand out of his mouth.
Brick snickers and replies, "Mandork told me that Mojo was going to get you to help him do his dirty work out here today. So I figured, I might as well grab you so we can kill two birds with one stone. Well three really, because I have one more person to grab."
Brick leaves and Holden hastily finds a place to change into his armor and his gear.
Brick is lucky there is a truce on or Blossom would have punched his lights out by now. Holden thought with a frown and absent mindedly touches his right shoulder where his scar that he had gotten from Brick and his brothers when he was a child.
Then someone dressed in green is dropped carelessly next to Holden.
It's Ben and he looks up at Brick and shouts angrily, "Brick, next time ask that person if they want to help before you decided to just up and abduct someone!"
Brick laughs maniacally and has a huge grin that spans his face.
Ben turns to Holden. "Where did he take you from?"
Holden heaves a sigh and replies, "From my own house! He busted down the backdoor and I was nearly done with my make up work for school."
Ben snickers. Holden shoots him a dirty look and he shuts up.
Brick lands next to them and in a commanding tone says, "Ok peons, get moving so we can get rid of those three fusions."
Ben and Holden didn't move.
Ben then says, "You follow our lead Brick. Holden, let's just find Mojo's Bananas, Mandark's Sumo Slammer hacker and Fusion Deimongo lackey, then we can go back to what we were doing."
They enter the beach infected zone to find the beach blanket and surfboard platforms went up and down in a slow lazy manner. Brick zooms upward and flies to the west. Ben turns the dial on the Ultramatrix and presses it down and transforms into Jetray. Holden, unable to neither fly nor transform has to wait for a slow moving platform to arrive so he can reach the area they have headed off to.
Holden jumps off the platform and finds the two boys hiding behind a surfboard.
Ben looks back at him and replies, "Besides Mojo's and Mandark's fusions, there's also a Vilgax fusion down there as well. It's Hero Time!"
Ben presses down and changes to Four-Arms and leaps down to fight. Brick already has a grin on his face and it spread wider over his face.
Holden heaves a heavy sigh and replies, "We need to come up with a strategy or least find a weakness in their defenses."
Brick looks back at Holden and replies, "Oh shut up. We don't need a stupid plan for these fusions."
Holden shakes his head. We should have devised a plan of attack before running in blind like this. Why am I starting to sound like Blossom?, thought Holden as he sighs and runs to the surfboard and finds Brick has just torn off Fusion Mandark's left arm, but it grew a blade from where the arm had been.
All the while, Ben is beating Fusion Vilgax into the barrier wall before it starts to counter. Fusion Mojo is advancing on Brick and starts to leap when Holden shoots at it. It falls to the ground and looks back up at Holden. It then starts to fling fusion poop at him. Holden hides behind the surfboard and switches to his new sword, that he acquired on his last mission with Ben.
He waits for a lull in activity from Fusion Mojo before he hops over the board. Holden closes the short distance between him and the fusion and slashes it across the middle and the fusion form collapses. Brick then smacks into the sand dune behind Holden.
Holden takes out his rifle and at the same time, replies, "I'll distract him while you attack from behind Brick."
Brick stands, shakes his ahead and then just stares over at Holden and replies, "I don't take orders! I give them, got it. Now, go beat that Fusion Mandark, loser!"
With that, Brick flies high up into the air. Holden frowns, not being able to see any action that would help him attack at this distance expect maybe a grenade. Holden takes one out and throws it as hard as he can at the fusion. The fusion smiles as the grenade closes in and cuts the grenade in half. The grenade still explodes and it renders the fusion's blade useless and its left leg nearly crippled.
It wasn't my best plan, but at least it work…mostly, Holden thought taking out his rifle, but before he could move a red light slams down into it and vaporizing the fusion.
Brick stands up smiling with smug satisfaction, while wiping flecks of matter off his face.
Holden turns his attention to the fusion of Vilgax. Ben is now in a new form that spit out whatever was thrown into its mouth as pure energy.
Holden has an idea and shouts to Ben, "OPEN WIDE BEN AND HOPE THIS WORKS!"
Holden fires two shots into the Upchuck Ben's mouth. After a moment, Ben belches up the energy and it flies towards the fusion. At that same moment, something sparks in Brick's hand and he throws a fireball towards it. Both attacks envelop the fusion in a column of fire and energy and then it dissipates. The items in the goo then gleam and nanos of the three villains appear looking like they wanted to fight one another. Holden marches over and forces them into the com.
He also finds the bananas in the sand and pockets one to give to the Professor, as to help keep tabs on Mojo's research. A few meters away, a few of Mojo's minions pop out of the sand looking dazed.
Ben looks at them and replies, "Looks like we found them. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go take a nap over in the Rust Bucket."
Ben leaves while yawning and scratching his back.
Brick gives Holden a dirty look and replies, "Next time shut up about strategies and plans. They hurt my brain."
He zooms off into the distance. Holden sighs heavily and walks home.
Holden returns home to find his sisters and girlfriend arguing over something stupid again.
"You had no right to take them Buttercup. I was going to eat them later tonight." Bubbles says in a huffy voice, while jabbing her finger into Buttercup's chest.
Buttercup scowls, jabs her finger into Bubbles' shoulder and replies venomously, "Was your name on the damn box of cookies? I don't think it was, so it's fair game on who eats them."
Blossom, while trying to stand between them, then yells at them in a shrill voice, "Both of you stop this auguring now. We can always buy another box."
Bubbles turns to look at Blossom with an anger in her eyes and states, "You were eating them too sis."
Blossom starts to open her mouth, when Holden interrupts, "This arguing is pointless. We all know if this continues what is going to happen."
The triplets look at each other, having guilty looks on their faces and then saying all at the same time, "Sorry guys!"
Holden goes into the kitchen and comes out with a soda and the last of his homework.
Blossom then says, "Holden, you know what tomorrow is don't you?"
Holden looks at his watch and replies, "Tomorrow is the 7th of O…" Holden stops and realizes what day it is.
Buttercup sits next to him and replies, "It's been twelve years since you entered our lives little brother."
Holden chuckles and replies, "Bubbles is the youngest one, not me."
"Your birthday is the day after ours. So I'm not the youngest at all."
Bubbles replies with a pout before she giggles.
Blossom then replies, "It doesn't matter anymore. Let Holden finish his work, then we can reminisce about the past."
Bubbles and Buttercup both nod. Holden already has his pencil out and Blossom sits next to him and helps him finish up his homework.
