Hero Cat
Chapter 6: The Party
Rainbow Star drove on the road with the moon and clear, starry night illuminating the sky. Everyone in the back were cramped in a small place and couldn't wait to get out. In the back, there are four superheroes one is Hero Cat, another is Fishboy, the other Shadow Star, and last but not least The Comedian. They're all squished together because the wasn't that big.
"Are we there yet?" The Comedian asked.
"No." Rainbow Star said.
"Are we there yet?" The Comedian asked.
"No." Rainbow Star said, getting annoyed.
"Are we there yet?" The Comedian asked.
"No." Rainbow Star said, getting mad.
"Are we there yet?" The Comedian asked.
"No, Comedian, no! We haven't even gotten there yet! If we get there, I'll let you know!" Rainbow Star said. "I can't believe you guys talk me into borrow our parents car just go to that stupid club."
"Stupid club? You take that back!" Shadow Star said.
"Oh come on, Rachel. Think of it, a whole club just for superheroes on their night off." Hero Cat said.
"Hey, Joe. Your hand is touching me." Shadow Star said.
"No it's not." The Comedian said.
"Yes it is. I can feel your tiny hand behind me, so let go." Shadow Star said.
"I told you I'm not touching you." The Comedian said.
"Yes you are." Shadow Star said.
"No I'm not." The Comedian said.
"Yes you are." Shadow Star said
"No I'm not!" The Comedian said.
"Yes you are." Shadow Star said.
"Would you guys shut up! If you don't behavior yourself, I'm going to pull this car over and we could just wait!" Rainbow Star said.
Behind them an armored van is following them, but they can't drive any closer because they don't want the heroes to spotted them. The person who is driving the van is Demolisher and next to her is Dr. Wrecker who is holding a box full of tiny bombs that are colored green with red strips on it.
Dr. Wrecker laughed manically. "This is fantastic! Blowing up the Cosmic Club is one of my best ideas I ever come up with!"
"No this one of your stupidest plan you ever come up with. That place is full with superheroes, they'll discover our bombs, we'll be end up in the hospital or worse The Creed will put us in a trial." Demolisher said.
"Who said we're going to be put in trial, it was Sergeant Doomsday who blow up the Cosmic Club with his bombs." Dr. Wrecker said.
"Where did you get Sergeant Doomsday's bombs anyway?" Demolisher asked.
"I "borrowed" his bombs when he invited me over his house." Dr. Wrecker said.
"Framing another villain while we walked free. You do realize that's against Creed law." Demolisher said.
"I know, but The Creed won't know." Dr. Wrecker grinned.
*At the Club*
They finally arrived at the Cosmic Club. It seems that there are no other cars here nor everyone is waiting at them. As the she parked, everyone got out of the car.
"Sweet, no one is here. Looks like we got here super earlier." Shadow Star said.
All the sudden, more vehicles arrived, everyone got out of their cars and run over Hero Cat and the others. As soon they recovered, they see a long line in front of them. Everyone is pissed off at Shadow Star for what he said.
"You and your big mouth." Hero Cat angrily said.
Later…
Hero Cat and his friends were still waiting in line to gain entrance into the club. Slowly the line was getting shorter and so was their patience.
"Maybe a joke will cheer us up." The Comedian said.
"If you tell a joke, I'm going to make a banana cream pie out of you!" Rainbow Star threated The Comedian.
The Comedian stay silent.
"I can't believe that every superhero in the city are here." Hero Cat said.
"We'll it is their night off." Fishboy said to Hero Cat.
"Look over there. It's the Golden Avenger. Oh my god, look what he's got on." Hero Cat said.
"Is he wearing golden underpants on the outside?"
"Who still does that? This isn't the 90's." Hero Cat said.
"Dude, isn't that Captain Justice behind us?" Fishboy asked.
"Oh no way. Where? Holy crap, he's with a boy." Hero Cat said.
"Oh yeah, he's totally gay. I saw the whole thing about him when he made a guess appearance on Oprah." Fishboy explained.
"But when I saw him last time, he was dating a girl."
"She was his beard before they broken up."
"Huh…I should watch more Oprah for now on." Hero Cat said.
The man checks on The Comedian's ID card. After he's done, he let The Comedian go in.
"I'm soooo going to have blast here." The Comedian said as he walks in.
Next, he checks Rainbow Star's ID. He let her in after he ID is checked out. Shadow Star hand him his ID, he checks it out and let him enter.
"See you, dickheads in." Shadow Star said as he walks in.
"I wish he stop calling us that." Hero Cat said as he handed his ID to the man. He checked it out and allow Hero Cat in. Finally, it's Fishboy's turn, he gave him his ID and as he checks it he sees the word "Sidekick" on it. He gave his ID back and as Fishboy was about to go in, the bouncer stops him.
"Not so fast, kid." The Bouncer said.
"What gives?" Fishboy asked.
"No sidekicks allowed. You go around back to the Sidekick lounge." The Bouncer said.
"What?" Fishboy whined.
Inside the Cosmic Club, the place was packed with teens and young adult superheroes dancing to the loud beating pump of the music. Flashing rainbow lights dashed across the dance floor. Well over one hundred superheroes were dancing and drinking.
"Well, you guys have fun while I find a seat. My feet are killing me for standing in the line for so long." Rainbow Star said as she walks off.
Shadow Star spotted a hot girl. "Welp. Time for me to go because I spotted me a date. "Shadow Star said as he also walks towards the girl.
"Where's Fishboy?" The Comedian asked Hero Cat.
"Don't know. He's probably somewhere around here dancing his ass off." Hero Cat said.
*Fishboy POV*
In the Sidekick Lounge, we see Fishboy is sitting on a coach with the other three sidekicks. One is a hound wearing a red cape name "The Caped Hound". The other is a young human boy wearing yellow cape spandex name "Wonder Lad" who is a sidekick to Wonder Man. The last one is humanoid spike ball that goes by the name "Spikey".
"So…you're a fish…with arms and legs? Are you a meta-human or experimental?" Wonder Lad asked Fishboy.
Fishboy sighed.
Back in the club, Hero Cat walks around until someone call his name."
"Hey, Gumball!"
"Damien, nice to see you here." Hero Cat said.
"You remember some of our friends in the academy." Iron Bee pointed.
"Oh, yeah. Hey, B.O.B.E.R.T, Red Widow, and Boomboxer. How are you guys?" Hero Cat asked.
"We are good thanks for asking." B.O.B.E.R.T said.
"Not me I'm still going through a stage of my mutation. I just grew extra arms yesterday." Red Widow complained.
"Hey, babe! You promise to dance with me! Come on!" She shouted.
"Coming, Penny. I gotta go we'll talk later." Iron Bee said as he joins with his girlfriend.
Hearing her name makes Hero Cat feel uneasy now that she's dating Damien. He sighed and walks to the counter where the bartender is at. "Bartender, give me a Loser Cola." Hero Cat ordered.
Shadow Star found the hot girl he spotted. It was Prickly Green who is talking to Muscle Gal.
"Hey, baby. You look pretty sharp tonight. How about you and me step out so I can give you a Rusty Venture." Shadow Star winked as he flirts her.
"Sure." Prickly Green said. Prickly Green fired her needles at him. Shadow Star hides behind the table as she continues firing her needles out of her body until she finally stops.
"Okay…uh…maybe some other time, then." Shadow Star said.
Rainbow Star appeared giving him the "look" as she crosses her arms.
"What? I thought she was into me." Shadow Star said.
Back with Hero Cat, Hero Cat still drinking his soda, he asked the bartender another one and he did. "Leave the bottle." Hero Cat said. He finishes his drink as he pours another one into his glass, he watches Damien and Penny dancing together making him feel even more let done. Dr. Fantasma appears as she sits next to him.
"Hey, Gumball. I sense a sadness inside of you and you're drinking Mr. Downer. Is something the matter?" Dr. Fantasma asked.
"It's Loser Cola and…well…I was meaning to ask Penny out for date, I have a crush on her since during our academy time and want to be together with her forever…but I found out that she's dating with Damien. I waited too long to ask her out and now, I lost her for good." Hero Cat said.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but you can't sulk for the rest of your life. There are plenty fishes in the sea." Dr. Fantasma said.
"The only fish person I know is my sidekick and he's a dude." Hero Cat said.
"No I mean there are other girls you can find." Dr. Fantasma said.
"Oh. Yeah but I don't think tons of girls will be interesting on me…wait, since when you start comforting me? You usually comfort your patients who are possessed." Hero Cat said.
"Well…because…I care about you. We've been friends for long time you know." Dr. Fantasma said as she tries not to blush.
"Yeah that's true. Thanks for everything, Carrie. This is the second time you save me." Hero Cat said.
"And thank you for paying my bill." Dr. Fantasma said.
They both laugh together until they stop and look at each other as their eyes shine like diamonds.
"Should we hug or something?" Hero Cat asked.
"Uh, yeah sure why not." Dr. Fantasma replied.
Hero Cat and Dr. Fantasma got closer and hug together. "You're a true friend, Carrie." Hero Cat said.
"I know. You're a true friend too, Gumball." Dr. Fantasma blushed.
They broke up the hug when they hear someone bust open the door. He's an anthropomorphic mixed-breed dog who wears a blue and white spandex with a Capital U on his chest and a blue cape.
"There's nothing to fear…Ultra Dude is here! And he's here to partyyyy!"
"Crap It's him." Dr. Fantasma said.
"Who the hell is this ass?" Hero Cat asked.
"That's Ultra-Dude. Every night, he always come in whatever he feels like it because his brother-in-law owns this club, he loves to cause trouble and always like to pick a fight on any male superheroes." Dr. Fantasma said.
"Has anyone tried to take him down?" Hero Cat asked.
"Many tried, but failed horribly." Dr. Fantasma answered.
"Well, then. Looks like Ultra Dude is going have to face Hero Cat." Hero Cat said as he walks towards him.
"Gumball, no." Dr. Fantasma said.
Ultra-Dude walks down as most of heroes glared at him. He steals one of the hero's drink as he drinks and throws it across the room. He got to the dance floor and dance as his dance move push everyone away. When he makes a twirl, he bumps into The Comedian.
"Watch it!"
"Sorry, dude." The Comedian said.
Ultra-Dude look at his costume and sees he got a stain on it. "You dirty up my costume." Ultra-Dude said as he picks him up.
"I didn't mean to please don't me. Unless you give me request." The Comedian said.
"No." Ultra-Dude said.
"Aw." The Comedian said.
"Put the unfunny Comedian down buddy."
"Said's who?"
"Said's me. Now, drop him and leave this place." Hero Cat said.
"Are you trying to pick a fight with me? If you are, then you've seriously made a biggest of your life." Ultra-Dude said as he drops The Comedian.
"I'm not scared of you." Hero Cat said.
"You should be because I'm the only strongest hero in this club. Not even your puny punches can—
Ultra-Dude was cut off when Hero Cat punch him as he flies over to the dance floor.
"You were saying." Hero Cat said.
Ultra-Dude got back up as he wipes the blood out of his mouth. "I can't believe I just got it. There is no way you could be stronger than me!" Ultra-Dude said.
"I just prove it to you. You wanna go again." Hero Cat said.
Ultra-Dude growled as he charges him and tackles him. He punches Hero Cat the left check, then the right and repeat. "Looks…like…I…found…a new…enemy." Hero Cat said as he getting punched in face.
Sidekick Lounge…
The sidekicks except for Fishboy are playing a board game. Wonder Lad roll the dice and got a four, he moves four spaces as he picks up a card.
"Move back three spaces." Wonder Lad said as he moves back.
"Hey, Fishboy. Are you sure you don't want to play with?" Spikey asked.
"I'm good. I'm going to the bathroom." Fishboy said as he gets up from the couch.
"Okay, but be back. We're going to play rock, paper, scissors." Spikey said.
Meanwile…
Dr. Wrecker and Demolisher finally arrived at the Cosmic Club. They parked right next to Rainbow Star's car.
"Finally, we're here." Dr. Wrecker said.
"We would have got here earlier if we just taken the highway." Demolisher said.
"Whatever we're still here anyway. Now, let's go wreck that club." Dr. Wrecker said.
"Don't you mean blow up the club." Demolisher said.
"Whatever." Dr. Wrecker said.
"So how are we going to get in. We're not just going to walk to the front door and ask him to let us in." Demolisher said.
"Who said we're going to the front door. Come on." Dr. Wrecker said as gets out of car while carrying a box full of bombs.
Cosmic Club…
Ultra-Dude continues pounding on Hero Cat while all the heroes watch.
"We need to help him." Iron Bee said.
"No way man this is between Hero Cat and Ultra-Dude. Let's hope Hero Cat beat this guy." Prickly Green said, feeling worried.
"This…is…getting…annoying…get off!" Hero Cat said.
Hero Cat kick him off, he punches Ultra-Dude at the face, then at the stomach, then on the face again. Finally, he did an uppercut on his chin.
"Way to go, Hero Cat!" Iron Bee cheered.
"Show him who's boss." Red Widow said.
"Hero Cat has been improved since the academy. His strength levels: 98%. This battle will be over any minute." B.O.B.E.R.T said.
"Had enough?" Hero Cat asked.
"Not even close." Ultra-Dude said.
Ultra-Dude started running towards Hero Cat. However, he blocked all of Ultra-Dude's punches. He grabs his arm and throws him at the table. Ultra-Dude recovers quickly as he dashes to him and throws more punches on him. Hero Cat gets a few hits, but he mange to block the rest of his punches.
While the two fights each other, Dr. Wrecker and Demolisher enter the club by taking the back door. They sneak through club without the heroes knowing there present because they're watching the fight as they split up and attach the bombs on each and every wall. "This is so sweet. Are you finish at you part?" Dr. Wrecker asked Demolisher.
"Yeah I'm done. You?"
"I'm done too. Now, to activate them." Dr. Wrecker said.
Dr. Wrecker pull out a remote and as he presses the button, the bombs have activated as it beeps.
"When it reaches to midnight…BOOM!" Dr. Wrecker laughed.
"Now, can we get out of here." Demolisher said.
Both of them sneak away to the back, they get into their van and drove out of here as Dr. Wrecker laughed. "Goodbye, Hero Cat. It's been a blast. HAHAHAHA!" Dr. Wrecker laughed.
"Who's the guy fighting, Hero Cat?" Demolisher asked.
"Don't know and for that matter who cares. They're all going to straight to hell." Dr. Wrecker laughed.
In the bathroom…
"This sucks. Why do sidekicks have to go to the lounge while Heroes like Gumball go have fun." Fishboy complained as he washes his fins.
Fishboy spotted a door that lead to the Cosmic Club.
"You know what…screw the policy. I'm going in." Fishboy said as walk towards the door.
Fishboy opens the door and sees his friend fighting someone. He ducked when a chair was thrown at this direction.
"What the—woah."
Fishboy notices that their planted bombs all the club.
"When did this happen? I gotta go tell, Hero Cat." Fishboy said.
"Hey, you're not supposed to be here. Come on let's go." The bouncer said as he grabs him.
"Wait you don't understand!" Fishboy said.
"This is getting tired some dude. Where going to be here all night." Hero Cat said as he blocks his fists.
"Just let me pound your ass and maybe we can all go home." Ultra-Dude said as throws more punches.
"Not a chance." Hero Cat said as he continues blocking.
"Very well then. Prepare to be humiliated!" Ultra-Dude said.
Ultra-Dude did a sweep kick, causing Hero Cat to fall down. Hero Cat got back up, but Ultra-Dude dash towards him and grab hold of him. Hero Cat struggles to break free, but he can't because Ultra-Dude is squeezing him so hard.
"Submitted, Loser Cat, that's I'm the strongest or else I'll squeeze you like a sponge." Ultra-Dude said.
"Okay, okay. You are the craziest superhero I ever known." Hero Cat said.
Ultra-Dude squeeze him even harder.
"O-Okay. You're not crazy…you're insane!" Hero Cat said.
*Fisboy POV*
"Please, sir. I need tell Hero Cat that there are bombs are all over the club." Fishboy said.
"That's what all sidekicks say." The bouncer said.
"Someone help me!" Fishboy yelled.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Rainbow Star asked.
"Nothing wrong, Rainbow Star. I'm just taking him back to the Sidekick Lounge." The Bouncer said.
"Please, Rainbow Star. I have to tell Hero Cat that this place has been rigged." Fishboy said.
"Yeah right." The Bouncer said.
"You have to believe me." Fishboy said.
"Okay, that's enough out of you. Let's get you back where you belong." The Bouncer said.
Rainbow Star sneaks behind the bouncer as she pinches his nerve system. He collapsed on the floor and paralyzed. "So, what you say about this place being rigged?" Rainbow Star asked Fishboy.
Back with Hero Cat, he still being squeezed by Ultra-Dude. The heroes watch as they already know this fight is almost over.
"Welp. He's screwed." Red Widow said.
"Perhaps I made a miscalculate on his strength level. I wish I was right for the first time." B.O.B.E.R.T said.
"Are guys serious? Hero Cat is our friend we can't give up on him now. Come on, Hero Cat, you can do it!" Dr. Fantasma said.
"She's right we need his support. Come on, Hero Cat, you can do it!" Metamorpher cheered.
"You can do it, Hero Cat! Don't give up! Kick his ass!" Iron Bee cheered.
"Go, Hero Cat, go!" Prickly Green cheered.
"Go, Hero Cat, go!" The Comedian cheered.
"Go, Hero Cat, go!" They cheered.
"Uh, yeah what they said. My money is on Ultra-Dude." Shadow Star said, whispering to Muscle Gal
"Their cheering…the power of their cheering is giving me extra strength. Which doesn't make any sense because that's not how my powers work, but who cares I'll take it!" Hero Cat said.
Hero Cat broke free from his grip.
"Oh, come on already." Ultra-Dude said.
"Looks like you've enjoyed your evening for the last time." Hero Cat said as grab him by the collar.
"Hero, Cat! We got a problem!" Fishboy said.
Hero Cat pushes Ultra-Dude a side when his friends got close to him.
"The Cosmic Club is riddled with bombs, and they're set to explode." Fishboy said.
"Where are the bombs?" Hero Cat asked.
"Have you not seen the bombs around you?" Fishboy asked as he points behind.
"Oh, wow. How did I not notice that?" Hero Cat asked himself.
"Did anyone noticed that there are bombs planted around the club?" Fishboy asked the rest of the heroes.
"Uh…no." They replied.
"I detected a high frequency, but I was enjoying the fight." B.O.B.E.R.T said with a guilt.
"Us too." Iron Bee and Red Widow said with in defeat.
"What are we going to do?! We don't have time to defuse them all!" Fishboy panicked.
"Calm down, Fishboy. Let's get these bombs out of here." Hero Cat said.
"Uh-huh." Fishboy said.
Hero Cat ran around the club collecting the bombs. The bombs are also reaching midnight, don't know what to do with them he heads to the back, kick down the door, and throws the bombs at the Sidekick Lounge. The bomb goes off and as the smoke cleared no sidekicks were hurt.
"What do you say we call it off for the night?" Wonder Lad said as he and the other sidekicks fell back.
Hero Cat and Fishboy head back inside as every superhero cheered and clapped for them for saving the club.
"You know he's my best friend." Shadow Star said to Prickly Green.
"Yeah, right." Prickly Green said.
"What? You think I'm a dick to Hero Cat." Shadow Star said.
"No need for applause just doing my job." Hero Cat said.
Ultra-Dude dash to him as he pinned him against the wall.
"Don't you ever learned?" Hero Cat asked.
"I won't let you humiliated me." Ultra-Dude said.
Hero Cat dodge his punch and gives him a super uppercut. He flies out of the roof and crash outside in front of the club's entrance.
"Okay. You are stronger than me." Ultra-Dude dazed and passes out.
"That was fun." Hero Cat said.
"Yeah for you, but for me I have to sit in the sidekick lounge." Fishboy complained.
"That was freakin incredible, dude." Red Widow said.
"Indeed. That was very entertaining." B.O.B.E.R.T said.
"So, who was trying to blow up the club?" Metamorpher asked.
"When I remove one of the bombs, I recognize the design. It belongs to Sergeant Doomsday. Looks like we're going to pay him a visit, but tonight because it's after twelve and we better get home." Hero Cat said.
"Dips on the front seat!" Shadow Star said as he runs to the car.
"Oh, man. I got a joke for Ultra-Dude when he got pounded. GAHH! I completely forgot!" The Comedian said as he follows Shadow Star.
Fishboy and Rainbow Star follow them. Hero was about to go too, but he was stop by Dr. Fantasma.
"That was pretty good you did back there." Dr. Fantasma said.
"You think so?" Hero Cat asked.
"Yeah. You stood up for the superheroes and never give up or back down." Dr. Fantasma said.
"It's all in the day's work." Hero Cat said.
Rainbow Star honk the horn. "Let's go!" Rainbow Star called on Hero Cat.
"I got to go. Hey, let's hang some time when you're not away in the next dimension." Hero Cat said as he rushes to the car.
"Oh, don't worry we will hang out some more." Dr. Fantasma said with playful tone.
