At the rooftop of the building, Delilah stood before Mao Mao and Badgerclops bound against a large antenna. From the distance was a brewing storm approaching the kingdom's outskirts, and lightning with beginning to strike. Even from that range, a single strike could instantly reach the power node and fry the Sheriff and his partner from the inside.
"Delilah, if this is your twisted torture method, it's not working," said Mao Mao.
The cat smirked, "It's not torture. It's an execution. Streaky and the Superdog could easily withstand a lightning strike. Imagine what would happen to you and the fat one."
"I prefer the term, "Big Boned," thank you very much," said Badgerclops.
"You won't get away with this," Mao barked to Delilah.
"I already have," she said turning away. "Your abduction alone has already led to panic. And when you're gone, I'll have the entire kingdom under my paw."
Walking up beside her was Orangusnake wielding his trusty battle axe. The cobra laughed as he announced, "And I'll have the pleasure of watching my mortal enemies fry!"
Upon laughing, both the evildoers were cut off by Super Bunn rising from the other end of the facility.
Unphased, Delilah spoke with her arms behind her back. "I was beginning to wonder when I'd see you, rabbit. I take it you're following the footsteps of that boy in Lakewood or, God forbid, his father."
"Neither, Delilah," Super Bunn pointed. "I do all this for Cosma! Even someone as rotten as her could change, and so can I! I'm gonna be honoring her sacrifice by stepping up and saving lives like she did!"
Panicked, seeing the storm approaching quickly, Badgerclops said, "Uuuuh, less talking, more saving!"
Delilah started by pulling out a ray gun from her cape. She fired at the rabbit who flipped over the beam and launched an energy missile at Orangusnake. He blocked it with his axe but was pushed into a generator, leaving him vulnerable for Potato to rocket kick him through it! Meanwhile, Delilah was met by Tanya, walking from the roof entrance with her guard down.
"What's this," the feline mocked. "No quips? No shape-shifting into your favorite superhero?"
"Shape this," Tanya scowled, right before punching Delilah square in the nose, causing it to bleed!
The evildoer felt her wound and immediately grit her teeth, sharpened her claws and charged for the raccoon! Both of them began tussling, hitting each other with such weight, they're nearly propelled in the air! Tanya punched Delilah in the stomach, then Delilah kicked her in the neck. Tanya headbutted her foe, while Delilah slapped her with her tail. All while Gl-0, disguised as a hatbot, walked over to Mao Mao and Badgerclops to set them free, mere seconds before the lightning could strike the rod!
Orangusnake, still struggling against Super Bunn, is quickly accompanied by HueHue poofing into reality and zapping the rabbit, turning her into a clarinet.
"Phew… Thanks HueHue," said Orangusnake. "Now, how crisp are the cat and his…"
To their shock, Badgerclops already had his cannon arm aimed at the pair and Mao Mao had his sword drawn. But the two, including Orangusnake and HueHue, were quickly startled by Tanya and Delilah fighting so aggressively on the floor. Tanya continued to pull at Delilah's hair and the cat was biting her tail. Both parties silently watched as the two struck at one another; Mao clearly blushing and dropping his sword.
"Wow," said the cobra. "I've never seen the bounty hunter fight like THAT before!"
"When you've married her for 5 years, you'll understand," Mao Mao replied. "She and Delilah have a history."
This distraction gave enough time for Gl-0, dropping her disguise, to kick the instrument on the floor, turning it back into Potato.
Feeling her head, the bunny said, "Ugh… Thanks buddy. That'll never not feel weird."
As Tanya continued to beat on Delilah's chest, the villainess yelled, "Orangusnake, HueHue, a little help here?!"
The two heard her and nearly readied themselves to face Mao Mao and Badgerclops again, but were both blasted off the roof by Potato. A lightning bolt struck the ground where they landed. But when Mao checked, the two were nowhere to be found. The only remnant of them being a puff of pink smoke from HueHue warping away. After withstanding a few more blows, Delilah eventually kicked Tanya back and hopped atop a platform behind her.
"You're even more of an irritant than that superdog and Streaky," Delilah barked. "You've made a new enemy out of me, you all. Especially you, Super Bunn!"
She presses a button hidden on her collar and a loud boom echoes from the inside of the building. Delilah's other switch on her collar teleports her away whilst wiggling her claws at the gang and a wink. Luckily, Super Bunn spawns a shield around everyone around her, and the complex erupts, collapsing, but with the gang protected. The group rolls down the rubble into the streets where they're greeted by the crowd of anthros cheering for them.
Tanya was given a pat on the back and a kiss from Mao Mao, and Badgerclops tipped his head to Super Bunn and Gl-0. Gl-0, however, was silent. She was thinking to herself the whole time until Potato broke the silence.
"You were great back there, buddy," said the bunny. "Give yourself some credit."
"I am," said Gl-0. "I'm just…in shock. I didn't think this would go so well after the whole Venomous thing. I'm still trying to get over it."
Potato sighed, "I am too. There's a lotta things we've been through that day. I lost someone I cared about a lot, and I know you wanted to be a perfect hero."
"And I'm still not…"
"But it's good that you aren't. If you were, I don't think we would've ever gotten this far. You were pretty creative back there and got the respect of Tanya and Mao Mao. I think that's more than I can say about you compared to all the other heroes from your world."
"Aaaw, thanks Potato," Gl-0 blushed. "If it's ok with you, I wanna stick with you for a while. I'll be your sidekick."
"Not her sidekick, Gl-0," Dendy interrupted. "You're her friend."
The End
