Chapter 17
The Doctor is INSANE!
(医師は非常識です！の巻)
(or "Klotzenstein's Vendetta")

NOTE: This will end the Original Gang Arc, completely. Next arc follows The Current Gang in Targus City, before the upcoming showdown with "M", getting to the serious arc.

Heather ran up the stairs, as she approached the flag, with Wolfgang's arm holding it. She removed the arm and threw it down onto Ludwig, who was mutilated, from Heather's anger-powered fury. She grabbed the flag and raised it high. The crowd cheered, as everyone was surprised.

Michelle cheered, "JOLLY SHOW, HEATHER! BULLY!"

Steven N nodded, "That's my wife."

Stocking gasped, "Amazing… She did it, real fast."

DING! DING! DING!
The host called, as the bell rang, "A MIRACLE PLAY! A GREAT UPSET! THE GANG, WITH HEATHER DUNN IN THE HELM, HAS WON THE DATEN CITY FOOTRACE OF DEATH!"

At the diner, Peter was cheering on, all frantic and wild, "YAH! YAH! Heather Dunn! YOU ROCK, BRA!"

Mizuki pleaded to him, "Easy, babe!"

April was astonished, "Heather… She's simply malicious…"

Farra said, "She even amazed me."

Back at the arena, Heather rushed downstairs, as the host announced, "And what a fast fury she did! It's a brand-new record in the Footrace of Death! WOW! 18 seconds in the second leg?! She whizzed through Hummingbird Road, with the Daemon Sisters, during the final battle, in record time! I guess even band members have second to fifth winds!"

Heather held the flag high, as Steven and Michelle congratulated her.

Michelle cheered, "Heather! My word, you have even amazed a fellow Original Gang member, among members. Jolly good show, sis-in-law!"

Heather giggled, "He, he, he. Heather has been working out."

Scanty was amazed, "Wow. Who knew that she destroyed three members in seconds? Heather Dunn is like a purple blur."

Panty smiled, "That was fucking badass, Dunn!"

Heather giggled, "Thanks, Panty. I did felt bad about the Demons being jilted."

Kneesocks said, "We'll be fine. Right now, we have more important concerns."

At the diner, January smiled, "Steven Cooke is missing this moment. Heather and her husband, with Father…"

She sniffled in tears, as Peter cheered, "Yes, yes! But who cares? The Gang rocks the Footrace of Death!"

Farra smiled, as she was in tears, "Percival… You and Heather… Who knew you were amazing?"

She then said, "I forgot! When we find Douchington, we have to go to Daten City, for our gig!"

Mizuki said, "I guess that's fair. It's amazing that we get to perform at that city, after what we went through."

Back at the arena, Percival said, as he approached Roger, who was out cold, "Now… We find out who this creep is."

He called out, "Hey, Michelle! Any idea on who this bastard is?"

Michelle nodded, as she took off her jacket. She then pulled out her blue boxing gloves and said, "I will handle this one, alone. I've been after him, for years."

Steven N called, "Wait! You know this sucker, you tell me now. Steven Nevins isn't waiting."

Michelle smiled, "Gladly! This man is not Roger Klotz! The real Roger Klotz is currently in the Refugee Shelter, following the Bluffington Disaster, and hasn't left, since then! His real name is Doctor Rudolph Klotzenstein, and he's a mad scientist!"

The crowd gasped, as Michelle continued, "I'm not proud of this. Ever since the universes started, a city was destroyed by his alter-ego, Klotzilla. Since then, he chose to destroy Daten City, among others! I have been after him, since the alternate worlds started, and it's my job to oust this freak!"

The Roger imposter got up and sneered, "So… You knew who I am, do you, Frau Michelle?"

He glowed in a white light and whistled in a train whistle. His body changed into a slick red hairstyle and was wearing a white lab coat. His eyes were demented, while his smile was crooked.

He bellowed, "It's true, my friends! I wanted to destroy this miserable city! But unfortunately, I was only following orders, before the Nevins Family and these wisenheimer brats ruin me! Now, I get my revenge on all of you!"

Michelle bellowed, "Maybe so, but if anybody is going to extinguish you, it's me! I'm through playing second fiddle! And… No one has ever called me a Wisenheimer."

Steven N smiled, "Michelle, you did good. We now understood why Roger was sinister."

Kneesocks added, "No. It's not. He's not just following orders… He's…"

The Mad Doctor laughed demonically, "Tis true, mein superzeroes! The Demon is correct, as Frau Michelle left out ze best part! I'm not just any evil doctor…"

His green skin turned deep black. His eyes turned empty, as his body was demonic and ghost-like.

"I'm the spectral kind of mad doctor! That is right, mein wunder-brats! Herr Doctor Klotzenstein is dead – haunting your dreams!"

He laughed evilly, as Michelle gasped. Steven N barked, "WHOA! HOLD THE PHONE! He's dead? You mean Dr. Klotzenstein is dead?"

Stocking went on a rampage and shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK? A MAD GHOST? A MAD GHOST?!"

Percival gasped, "No way! We had your records on the, uh, AAW Files! There's no way you could be dead!"

Michelle said, "There was…"

Heather gasped, "You mean… You saw how?"

Michelle said, "I was after that bugger for years, like I said. But I never knew he came back, as a ghost."

The Mad Ghost Doctor then said, "Ja, mein liebchen. Why don't you tell us the story?"

Michelle said nothing. Panty cried, "Do it, before we destroy the doctor! He's creeping the fuck out!"

Michelle then said, "Very well. But you guys won't like it."

Heather said, "I'm listening."

Michelle then told the story of how she first fought Dr. Klotzenstein.

During my time off, before the worlds would meld together, I heard of a disturbance in Bloatsburg. There was a huge wave of zombies, running around the city, destroying everything in sight. I managed to arrive at the scene, seeing nothing but zombies, having chips and snacks. I read on the book that I had about sugar, and learned that sugar doesn't cause hyperactive OR zombification. I was desperate to find out, so I grabbed a bag of these Zombie Chips. I left the city, and decided to wait to attack. I wanted to know who would be behind this, before I can attack.
It was there I viewed the chips, at the lab. The chips are laced with preservatives, grease, salt, and a mysterious substance. Of course, I never tasted it. It could've been poison; but it's not. I thought they were discontinued, since that battle in a TV Station, against Quailman. Why did they reintroduce the product, after the whole TV Station Incident? I had Google to know… and that was when I learned of a video feed of the Good Doctor. Luckily, I had it on Incognito Mode.

Doctor Klotzenstein… He was the host of Wheel of Snacks, a show he hijacked, during his run. That show lasted long, until it got canceled for some sort of substance. Anyway, the Zombie Chips commercial had a subliminal message that I was caught by, but stopped it, before I could become hypnotized. I remembered that he almost destroyed a city, invaded a school, and even controlled the populace in a city. And he did it again, at Bloatsburg. I had the chips destroyed and returned to the city.

By the time I made it, the city was already Klotzed. I rushed out and went to find the Doctor, but to no avail. That was when I saw him on the telly, reviving the Wheel of Snacks show… under his rule. I traced the station and found that it was on K-BLOT TV, which had the "B" crossed out and a "Z" in the middle. I barged in, as the round was over.

She aimed her gun and called, "Doctor Klotzenstein! Hands up, varlet!"

She then commanded, "Michelle Nevins – Feral Beauty Investigators. You're under arrest!"

He snickered, "Oh, THIS TIME, the FBI came to see me? Pull the trigger, lady. You don't want to see this fiasco on TV, right?"

"Bite me, wanker! Now, on your bike! You have poisoned your LAST person with your Zombie formula!"

"We'll see about that."

He dashed off, as Michelle destroyed the cameras. She called out, "If you can hear me, this cannot be shown on the telly!"

She snuffed, "Oh, bugger this. They can't listen…"

She chased after Klotzenstein, as he went up the catwalk. He was caught in a dead end, as Michelle laughed evilly. She said, "Okay, then, my doctor. Time to give you a review of your ILLEGAL show!"

The Doctor barked, "You cannot win, you little British Twit!"

"Make me! You think poisoning these people will make you the Prime Minister? You forget who or what I am!"

"No. Who are you?"

She plummeted in a THUD, as she yelled, "How very bloody dare you? Does Steven Sodding Nevins ring a bell? I'm his sister! I'm Michelle Evelyn Nevins!"

"Evil-Lynn?!"

"It's a woman's name! No jokes about my middle name! So, come on, doctor! You think you can best me? I am not letting your food additives consume these townspeople, a minute longer, rather nigh."

She aimed her gun and tried to shoot, but the doctor started to shout in German.

"AH! I am through playing Doctor Good Boy! You want me, I can, at least, take your body for experiments!"

He held up a pulse laser, and fired at her. Michelle dodged out of the way, as she tackled Klotzenstein. She grabbed his wrists, as the Mad Doctor was breaking free. He kicked her out of the way and dashed off.

"HALT!" Michelle fired her gun.

BANG!

She hit the chain, as the doctor started to stumble over the railing, in surprise. He plummeted onto the concrete floor, killing himself. Michelle looked down; only to know that the threat was over… Of course… she didn't expect THAT.

She trembled in fear, as the evil doctor was bleeding. She then cringed in fear and let out a scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Back at the arena, Michelle continued, "But… It was only a 20-foot drop. No one would survive a fall like that. But he did, Steven. After that, I reported the whole situation to the Boss, but seeing that he died, we chose to keep it, under wraps, and not mention his death, at all. I couldn't let that plummet to death get to me! I tried to forget it, and acted like it never happened! And ever since I joined the service, that vision still haunts me, in my dreams. I said to myself, "Why, Michelle Nevins? Why?"I said that, realizing that I should've let him get away, only to have time to heal the populace. Instead…"

Steven N barked, "Sis, what you did was brave of you, but that is dirty. Having your superior order you to leave it alone is a bad thing. What you did was out of justified means, but when he died, you knew it'd be wrong. Now, just because what you did was shocking, he was a bad man. You thought clearly, but reacted too soon. But still, it's better a maniacal scientist, than a normal human being."

The Doctor laughed, "And when I returned here, I figured I'd get retribution! And, you know, the Footrace of Death was a grand idea! When your brother, Steven Nevins, planted me in the dumpster, I figured HE might help me out. So? You want to know who he is."

He pointed at Corset and shouted, "It vas your own Mayor, Corset!"

Everybody gasped, as Klotzenstein continued, "I was unfairly killed by this joke, so the Demon Sisters revived me, all part of Corset's plan for Hell on Earth! And if I won, Corset would grant me mein life back!"

Scanty barked, "But that plan has gone up in smoke, for YOU!"

Kneesocks yelled, "A wandering ghost works for us and is well-disciplined by us, only to haunt Daten City AND the world, and you FULLY DISRESPECTED your rights, Doctor Klotzenstein! If you didn't die, you'd be stuck making license plates and breaking rocks! You dig that, you German Sheppard?"

Scanty smirked, "You don't deserve to live, after our friends beat you in that Footrace of Death. You had us fooled."

Kneesocks said, "We knew you'd return. Steven and Michelle were right, since the real Roger Klotz was in the Refugee Camp, but you left out ONE flaw. Roger was sent to Camp, before Shizuo Heiwajima's attack."

He gasped, as she continued, "You see, something was fishy about you, so I did a background check on Roger Klotz, and forwarded it to Percival. Right, sir?"

Percival said, "The attack occurred, before you stepped in. During a huge destructive battle in the Video Game World, he was assaulted and beaten up by two unknown robots, during his visit to the Tidal Tempest Zone. He had major injuries to his spine, abdomen, and ligaments. Good thing that the camp had Medicare."

The Doctor growled, "You snooping interlopers!"

Stocking yelled, "Forgot what it's like to be dead?"

Panty held her gun up and shouted, "Time to check-out, fuck-kraut!"

Michelle yelled, "You two do nothing! Leave this guy to me!"

Panty blushed, "Okay… You hot stud muffin…"

Michelle sighed to herself, "Idiot."

She stood in a boxing pose, as the Doctor snarled, "So, you think you can best me, young lady? Maybe I can kill you, and see how it felt?"

He raised his hands up and fired huge purple corn puffs at Michelle.
"GREASY PUFF ATTACK!"

Michelle was showered in puffs, but Chuck and Fastener dove in and ate all the puffs that came to her.

"Stocking, how come you didn't get in on this sweet shit?" Panty asked.

Stocking replied, "You heard Michelle. I don't want to be a zombie to a ghost."

"Well put, Chica."

Michelle prepared to fight, as Dr. Klotz was out of puffs. He spoke, "Well played, Nevins. Too bad that those rats will be zombie slaves!"

Michelle then stomped on both of them, killing them. She sarcastically said, "Aw… Did I kill your pets?"

Stocking smiled, "Not the first time that happened to Chuck."

Michelle charged at Klotz and began to deliver a barrage of punches to his face. She then delivered a huge left hook to his gut, as Klotz was bleeding a bit. Michelle then grabbed his head and tossed him down.

"So much for your snack craze, ghost doctor! And thanks to you, my shoes are dirty!" She barked.

The doctor got up and tackled down Michelle, stomping on her gut. He then pulled out a huge needle and impaled it into Michelle's chest. She screamed in pain, as he laughed. He then said, "Maybe you need to be sedated… from the INSIDE OUT! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Steven N charged after him, as Percival grabbed him. He cried, "You don't know what he is! You can't risk that!"

Klotzenstein laughed, "I'd listen to him, if I were you, Steven Nevins! One false move out of any of you, and she dies!"

Michelle moaned, as she was bleeding in her chest. She passed out, as Steven cried, "MICHELLE!"

At the diner, the rest were in fear, as one of their own may die. Peter cringed, "Oh, man! Michelle has to fight!"

Farra was in tears, "I know she can do it. Michelle's been into bigger threats, but this is serious! She has to fight it! I cannot stand by and see another die!"

April barked at the TV, "Miss Michelle… Fight… You have to!"

At the arena, Heather was frozen in fear, as she saw her sister-in-law, about to die. She sobbed, "No… Not after everything we have done…"

Klotzenstein cackled, "Now… Vengeance will finally be mine!"

He began to pull the syringe, which was about to pull out her blood and life. However…

BANG! SHATTER!

Panty fired at the needle, shattering it into pieces. She yelled, "That's enough! You leave this bastard to me! You think you can hurt this guy and get away with it? Steven Nevins is right! Everyone has a way to live, and he respects everything that lives!"

Kneesocks corrected, "He actually said he respects ALL lives, since life is good."

Scanty laughed, "I don't blame him."

Panty sighed, "Now's not the time to be bitchy about it."

The Angels and Demons barked, "LET'S GET HIM!"

The doctor stepped away from Michelle and fought the angels. Stocking and Kneesocks struck him with their blades. Kneesocks tripped him down, using her scythes. Scanty fired at him, hitting his back. He staggered in pain, as the doctor groaned, "Ah, nice one, Devil! But your bullets won't work on me!"

Panty fired at Klotzenstein and said, "Then, I guess a HEADSHOT will do! REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!"

BANG!
Klotz was fired at the head, but he was still standing. His head regenerated, as he laughed, "Fools! Not even a scientific mind would stand a chance against a ghost. My body can even withstand your petty ghost attacks! Besides, I knew I'd run into you four, one day!"

He then grew his arms into huge machetes. He swung at the Angels, slashing their chests, as the Demons were taken out. They all groaned, as Michelle was still out. Steven approached her and tried to pull the needle out of her chest. He pulled it gently, but managed to pull it, halfway. The doctor turned around and swiped at Steven, knocking him down.

The host announced, "This celebration has become a bloodbath nightmare! Michelle Nevins is out, The Angels and Demons are plastered, and Steven Nevins couldn't do a thing!"

As Klotzenstein laughed evilly, Michelle's vision went black.

Michi… Michi-Chan…

A voice called to her. A woman with long auburn hair, wearing a rose top and jeans appeared in the darkness. She called to her, "Michi! Get up!"

Michelle then gasped, "Huh? J-, Joanna?"

Joanna shouted, "Don't die! I love you!"

It was Joanna Stevens, Farra's lesbian sister and Michelle's unverified crush. She was worried over her.

Michelle barked, "Get away from me! I don't need your love on this one!"

Joanna snapped, "Michi! It's not about love! It never was, for the moment! Are you going to let that jerk kill you and leave this world?"

She said, as she was in tears, "Please… Your brother needs you. Sis needs you. The rest of The Gang needs you. I need you! Don't act like you're a loner and feel upset about it! GET UP!"

"But… But I let Doctor Klotzenstein die!"

"HAH! Like you care for evil people's lives? Steven Nevins is dead wrong! Everybody has to live… and die. All life is cool, but those who die that are wicked, they suffer!"

Joanna pouted, "I… I sometimes learn that, too… when Mom married Walter, my step-dad. He's cruel, almost as cruel as Steven Cooke."

Michelle protested, "Like bollocks I am listening to your advice! I can die happy, but my friends need me. I don't need your pity! And by the way, you're making me a murderer, since you want me to kill!"

Joanna sobbed, "Michi… Michelle Nevins! Get the fuck up! GET UP! I won't let you die! Farra lost her parents, Heather lost her sister, but I don't want your brother to lose you!"

She approached Michelle and held her tight. She whispered, "Michi… Forgive me. Promise you do this for me. I don't care if you don't like me, but…"

She smiled, "I think you're a swell person."

She and Michelle kissed each other, as Michelle was shaken. Joanna got up and disappeared. Michelle cried out, "WAIT! Joanna! COME BACK!"

Michelle stood up and thought, "Was that… compassion?"

She growled, "She… She cared for me, even after all these times… But I'm not like that. I'm not like her…"

She faded out, as she echoed, "I know what to do…"

At the arena, the evil doctor grabbed the shattered syringe and pulled it out of her chest. He then aimed for the head.

"Too bad, you losers! Now she dies!" He cackled, "Arrivederci, Michelle Nevins!"

He lunged at her head.

Heather shrieked, "NOOOOOOOO!"

Michelle opened her eyes and gasped, "JOANNA!"

She lifted her fist up and launched a huge right uppercut into the needle. The entire syringe disintegrated into tiny pieces shattered glass. The doctor was shocked.

"WHAT THE DAS?" He gasped.

She stood up and groaned in pain, "I didn't hear the bell! You have asked for this, for a long time!"

She staggered in blood and held her chest. She then barked, "I don't care if you hurt the others! You cannot take my life away!"

She grabbed his arm and twisted it around to the back. She then hop on his back and stretched his arms back. He started to scream in pain, as Michelle laughed, "I learned this from the telly! It's amazing how to make a ghost talk!"

She had Doctor Klotzenstein in a Palo Special, sitting on his back, wrapping her legs around his, grabbing his wrists tightly, and pushing his arms forward. She was about the break his shoulders.
Vintage Warsman! The Palo Special!

"If angelic and devilish undergarments won't work on you, let's see if you try to survive a huge submission! You see, Klotz! You don't toss around with the Nevins Family! I'm the more agile and technical member of my family, whilst he is a rebel, fighting for what he does."

Doctor Klotzenstein screamed in horror, "MOMMY! IT HURTS!"

Heather sobbed, "Michelle… She… she had a second wind."

Steven N smiled, "I know. She's very aggressive, when it comes to the family. She had been taking boxing and karate, when she was a child. That's why she is very strict, on occasions."

Percival said, "What I want to know is how she got up from that jab."

Panty was in amazement, as she cheered, "RIP HIS FUCKING ARMS OFF, MICHELLE!"

Michelle barked at Klotz, "It's bad enough that I am being branded as a lesbian by a crush (which I am not), but I got an angel thinking I am a man! That makes me even more angrier!"

She continued to push his arms down and screamed, "REPENT, VARLET!"

The Doctor screamed, "WAIT! Warten sie! Stoppen! I'll talk! I was sent here by this mystery guy named "M"!"

Michelle gasped, as the others were shocked. She continued to push his arms down and cried, "What did you say? "M"? You mean Miyamoto? I hate to reign on your mercy, but M is a girl! And besides, my blasted brother, the angels, and I are after the same thing! What do you know about M?"

Doctor Klotzenstein pleaded, "Let me go! I'll talk, if you relinquish me now! PLEASE!"

Steven N cried, "NO! It's a trap!"

Michelle then calmed down and said, "Fine. But, The Gang, Demons, Angels, and myself are by your side, so you won't escape."

The doctor pleaded, "It's fine. I only wanted to speak to you, solely."

"How will I know you won't escape?"

"I won't… Besides, everyone is a witness."

Heather called out, "Michelle! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!"

Michelle let go of the Palo Special and stood up. She then asked, "You think I trust you? Once you finish talking, you don't get off, that easily!"

Percival asked, "What are they talking about?"

Klotz then asked, "Herr gut. But how will I know you won't kill me?"

Michelle shouted, "YOU'RE LUCKY I WON'T SEND STEVEN TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF! NOW START TALKING!"

She called to Steven, "This is private! Make sure that the cameras are off! Plus, I do not want everybody to know!"

Percival called out, "Okay, everyone! Cover your ears! What you are hearing is strictly classified! Now, do it!"

Everyone covered their ears, as the cameras went off.

Doctor Klotzenstein then said, "Fine… But rest assured I'm already dead, if I told you. I was only following orders… for her."

"Her?"

Doctor Klotzenstein then said to Michelle about a certain item M was looking for "Project Yamo". She was concerned, as he told him that the true purpose of his duty, to this day, is to capture Project Yamo, present her to M, and get his life back.
But Michelle is about to find out more about Yamo.

At the diner, the TV went to static, as Peter berated, "Aw, man! Just when it was getting good!"

Mizuki said, "I don't know… Michelle is back up, but I think she knows something that we don't."

They waited patiently, as Klotenstein was about to spill the beans about Project Yamo.

Of course, Lyuze told about it… but it's hard to say what else happened. And THAT was inaudible, as well. But Doctor Klotz will explain a snippet of it… in the next chapter of…

The Gang
