Revenge of the Mutant

by Light Seeker 001

Based off of the game and the book by R.L. Stine. Skipper thought he was done with comics for good especially after being pulled into a comic and forced to fight a super villain, the Masked Mutant. But now the Mutant's back and ready to rule the world. But there's a new villain, and one that even the Mutant fears. And he's hiding something far more evil.

3. Chapter 3

Ale was a spy for the Masked Mutant?! Great. Another girl that turned out to be evil. Well, the front door is out of the question. Before I could figure out what to do next, the sound of roller blades skidding to a halt in front of me made me jump. "Wait!" A young woman's voice greeted me. "Don't be scared. My name is-" "Dinah Might! The roller derby fighter of the LOGG!" Yep. It was Dinah. Dressed in a purple and red body suit, a red helmet and skates and purple gloves. "I take it you're Skipper Matthews?" she asked. I nodded. "Oh, thank goodness. Listen, we really need your help in stopping the Mutant, since you did beat him before." "Why can't you and the League do it?" I asked sternly. "I don't want anything to do with saving the world. That's your job." "It was," she fumed, skating in a circle around me. "Until the new guy made things difficult for us." She stopped and looked serious. "Besides. It's not just our world the Mutant's after. It's yours too!"

I looked at her, shocked and confused. "What?" "It's true. Somehow, with the help of the new guy, Frightmare was it? Anyway, they found a way to take over both worlds! And if you don't help me, well, get used to having Mutant as your dictator." "Can't the Good Guys do something?" She kicked the ground with her right foot. "We tried, but like I said, Frightmare made things difficult for us. We were ambushed by him, and the last thing I saw before waking up in an elevator was a blinding flash of light." "He sounds powerful than the Mutant," I said thoughtfully. Dinah nodded. "I think the Mutant thinks so too, but he's too stubborn to admit it." That's the Mutant for you. Always the control freak. "Anyway, I was hoping that if you can help me find the other League members." I considered saying no, but with so much at stake, how can I turn the League down? Maybe the Gazelle... "I'll do it." Dinah smiled. "Smart choice. This way."

She escorted me into an elevator. "There's a meeting going on at the first floor. Mutant's got something big going on. I think it involves you." Of course. "Who can blame him? He's probably never gotten over the fact that I tricked him into turning into a liquid." "Well, he's learned his mistake. Don't expect him to make the same mistake again. "And there's more, but I think-" Crash! A red beast jumped down the emergency hatch and tackled Dinah! "Help me!" I grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the elevator before the monster could drag her into the hole. "Too...strong!" With a shriek, the beast pulled her in, leaving me alone. Well, I guess I'm on my own.

"Meeting taking place," I read after I left the elevator. Those were the words that were flashing over a door. Mutant sure doesn't like to be subtle does he? I could be walking into a trap. I just barely opened the door when I heard his voice. "Alright, listen up!" I didn't open the door, but I left it open by just a crack. "An unknown intruder has slipped inside our headquarters. And he has to be apprehended at once!" "I don't get it Mutant," the voice of Root Rot said, obviously confused. "Is this human with the League of Good Guys?" "Who cares?! Those imbeciles are the least of our concern now. We have our...friend to thank for that." "Yeah," cackled the voice of Pinky Flamingo. "Besides, we know their powers and their weaknesses!" "But this stranger-" "Could be capable of anything," interrupted someone else. He sounded familiar.

"Look," growled the Mutant, clearly annoyed for being interrupted. "This much I know. If our plans are to succeed, we need to find him before he has a chance to escape." "That's going to be a bit of a problem, then." That voice..."Why, Fightmare?" asked the man who interrupted the Mutant. "Simple, Molecule Man." WHAT?! "It's Skipper Matthews." There was an eerie silence. Then came the loud cackling of Pinky and Root Rot, followed by the loud banging of the Mutant's fist. "Get out," he said in a hushed voice. "All of you, GET THAT KID!" The sound of running footsteps heading my way made me panic. Where to hide?! Wait. It's going away. They must have left using another door.

"Except you, Magnificent Molecule Man," said Frightmare. "The two of us like to have a word with you." "Care to tell us why you did away with Chinchilla?" the Mutant demanded. "Care to tell me why you made her second in command instead of me?" shouted Molecule Man. "I'm more ruthless and brutal than she was!" How was he back? Last time I saw him, he was melted by the Mutant! "But she proved to be more faithful than you," countered the Mutant. "She never questioned her loyalty to me, only obeyed!" "My devotion to you is total!" "Was! What about now?" "That's for you to decide." "Enough, both of you," Frightmare's voice shouted. "Molecule Man, you are always my favorite. That's why I brought you back. As for Mutant, well, someone has to watch over you." The Mutant growled at that comment, then said to Molecule Man, "Bring me the human intruder then you'll replace Chinchilla." "Do I have your word?" "Do I have your loyalty?" Molecule Man paused before responding, "Only time will tell..."

He was just about to leave when..."Wait. I want to have a word with you in private. Mutie, you know the way out." The Mutant growled, "Now see here, Mr. Frightmare, just because you claim who you say you are doesn't mean you can just order me around in my own headquarters!" "Yes it does," snarled Frightmare. "Now get out, or I'll dry you like a raisin." The Mutant snarled, then, to my horror, burst out the door, but thankfully, was too furious to even see me.

"Why did I catch you snooping around in my room?" "What are you hiding from us?" Molecule Man snarled after he said that to Frightmare. But the latter smirked, "Nothing to hide. No. Is it wrong to keep personal secrets?" "Not if you involve endangering the lives of others. Now tell me of this machine you made." "The one the Mutant made with me?" "NO! The one that's called the-" "Enough," Frightmare shouted. "Just do what you're told. Find Skipper and you'll get your reward." Molecule Man grumbled, then from the sound of his footsteps, he went down another hall. "You can come out from there, Skips," Frightmare shouted. "I knew you were hiding back there all along."
