Chapter 17

PANDAmonium

"Again!" Ray barked as Justin took to the same rooftop course he'd been training on for the sixth time that day. The only difference was that this course had 20 moving targets that needed to be hit in their bullseye before the flag became visible. He hit 16 in a row before he missed one. "Nice try. We'll pick it up again tomorrow." He dismissed as he walked off.

"NO! I can do this!" Justin barked before he activated the simulation again. He began hitting bullseye after bullseye with superior accuracy until he reached the last one where he shot two arrows which intertwined and both hit the bullseye. "Haha... Ha." He wheezed out as he crashed holding the white flag. "Stubborn as ever." Ray commented as he picked up his protege and took him downstairs into the living room.

"So your the next Elite member?" Ray queried as they stared down their opponent. "Well... maybe... I don't know..." their adversary stuttered out. He was a short and lanky 3 foot character with glasses. "Stand down lackie! This is my fight!" a booming voice from behind him barked. An alien with purple areas on his head, chest and tail and blue lipstick walked up from behind him.

"Sorry about him. I'm Lord Freiza. Your true opponent." the figure introduced himself while posing. "Well then. Let's see if all the hype about you is real then." Ray replied as he pulled out his sword. "Why not have your friend take a turn?" Freiza inquired motioning towards Justin. "Ok then. Justin. Take him... her... it... down." "Can do!" Justin replied enthusiastically as he pulled out his bow. This'll be easy." Freiza taunted as he pulled his hand back.

"Death Beam!" he barked as the purple ray missed Justin by an inch. "That was a warning shot!" "No warning needed!" They began their volley of energy blasts, neither side showing weakness, but taking blows now and then. By the time they finished, both sides were down an arm. "Ugh... I can do this! X Mode..." "No don't!" Ray yelled, but it was too late as Justin transformed into a fluffy anthro panda with a green oriental vest before their eyes.

"Umm... What the?" Freiza inquired before cracking up on the floor. "It's not funny!" Justin beamed before trying to use his bow again, but it wouldn't activate. "Huh?! Work you stupid..." but he was cut off as a stray ki blast knocked him into a kiosk. "I'll be back when he's not stuck like that." Freiza warned as he teleported away, still snickering a little.

"What'd he mean stuck like that?!" Justin queried as he tried to disengage. "I warned you. I said you had to put all your baggage on the table before you could access X Mode." "Well why am I a frickin panda?!" "Well... X Mode taps into your inner self. I picture my inner self as a warrior, so I look like one. You picture yourself as a panda, so there you go. When the X's appears on your fist, you'll be able to disengage, but only after you pour your heart out to someone you trust. So yeah... Good luck with that." Ray explained as he began to walk towards Fix-it Felix Jr.

"OMG! Cuddly panda! Get him!" a random game character barked for the 8th time that hour as a wave of people began to chase him through the station. "Over here!" a dopey voice called from behind an abandoned gane plug as Justin ducked into it. "Thanks for the save. You're not gonna glomp me are you?" he queried as he tried to catch his breath as he took in the site before him. It was a purple anthro cat with a fishing pole and sandals.

"No. I don't usually glomp my friends. Unless you want me to." "Big! Boy, am I glad to see you! Why is everyone chasing me? And how'd you know it was me?" "One question at a time J." Big retorted looking a little disoriented. "Sorry. How'd you know it was me?" "We've been friends ever since you became a Codemaster... and you did tell me you'd be a panda if you ever became an animal." "Next... Am I really that adorable?" "Well... you're usually cute to me." Big replied with a small blush. "Ok... Do you have something to tell me, Big?" Justin inquired as he sat on the floor while leaning on the wall. "I've kind of been crushing on you a bit kind of maybe." Big babbled on as Justin looked him in the eye.

"Well, I've never really thought about a relationship before. My parents always told me to focus on my studies and leave friends and the rest behind. Until I became a Codemaster that is. Now I live alone in the mansion we freed from the League by myself, but before that, I still lived with them. They never wanted this for me, so I left. I control my life now and I don't want to be alone. Besides... I kind of like you too." "But I'm a guy." Big stated. "And you think I care why?" Justin retorted as he stood up. "Well... Would you want to maybe go out sometime?" "Yeah... I'd like that." Justin responded as Big hugged the air out of him. "You'd think I'd be used to this by now." He joked as Big let go and his fur began to glow. Black X's imprinted themselves on his fists and his chest. "X Mode... It's done? But how?!" "When you poured your heart out ot Big, the transformation finished. By the way, good for you getting a date." Ray commented from the end of the plug. "And perfect timing too, Freiza's back and he's calling you out!"

Justin took his place in front of Freiza as they stared each other down. "I see you've mastered X Mode." Freiza commented as he threw a Ki Blast at Justin's face. He deflected it with ease and replied, "Yeah. I guess I have." Suddenly, a card appeared before him and he crushed it spawning 2 handgun sized blasters, one blue, one green. "Look at the new toys, Freiza! Looks like Santa came early!" He joked as he shot at Freiza's tail blowing it clean off with pressurized air. "Why does eyeryone aim for the tail?!" Freiza barked as he charged Justin for some hand to hand combat.

They squared off, Justin holding his own against the demon with a power level of 1,000,000. The punches were even and the kicks were symmetrical, but Justin was slowly freezing the alien solid with each punch to the joints. A minute later, he was frozen completely solid. "What?! How?! Not again?!" Freiza blabbered before Justin shot him dead in the forehead with pressurized ice and sent him packing.

"Looks like your gaining on me now." Ray commented as they walked through the station fixing the damages. "You're still my sempai, but I think I can take care of myself now." "As soon as you defeat me, then we'll talk about that." Ray spoke as they playfully shoved each other. "Oh yeah! I forgot about my date with Big!" "Run Forrest!" Ray joked as Justin dashed for their rezendevous spot.

The next day...

Justin crept into Ralph's hut at 7 in the morning, tired but smirking all the way to the guest room. "You guys are together now, right?" Ray inquired from Ralph's room, his hearing being a bit better than his lover's. "Yeah... We're together." Justin replied as he crashed on the guest bed, letting sleep take him. "Well, all the pieces are in place. We'll beat the League yet." Ray commented as he snuggled into the wrecker's chest and slept his day off away.

Well... That chapter made me feel better.

Vanellope - Yeah. That was nice. Especially seeing as I caused the stampede.

Me - Well I think Justin's gonna find out.

Vanellope - What makes you say that?

Justin - VANELLOPE!

Vanellope - Oh crap! *runs away*

Justin - Get back here! *chases her into her game*

Me - SO REVIEW!

Preview - Ray has developed a new way to fight the elites, and with Sarah being the only one without X Mode, the next phase of his plan could commence at any time. What is this plan, and what does Sarah's X mode have to do with it?! STAY TUNED!
