Chapter 16: Viewer-Made Malware Zone (Part 2)
On the other side of the portal, both Tarantula and Infinite found themselves in a desolate wasteland. It was a dark desert environment that had red skies, and was surrounded by hundreds of power lines.
"So this is your dimension?" Infinite asked.
"Yes, this place is called Robotropolis. This dimension is Eggman's base of operations. I still remember the day my Titan robot destroyed this entire place, so many memories."
"Uh huh," The jackal responded.
As the two strolled through the abandoned city, the loud sound sparks and electricity caught their attention.
Infinite levitated above the ground as he noticed this, "What was that noise?"
"The sound of our new member, and reuniting with an old friend."
The robot and jackal followed where the sound was coming from, to Infinite's surprise it was yet another robot. In front of the largest powerline, stood another robot that had an electrical tube attached to its body.
The robot was blue and silver. It had four tentacles for arms with orange claws and a blue head with a black visor. Funny enough, this robot was much larger than Tarantula, standing about eight feet and eight inches.
The body was feminine in shape, with long pointy legs and with no feet. Electrical fuses on her back. Tesla coils wrapped around her body and thighs.
As the spider and the jackal got closer towards the mysterious robot, the arachnid greeted his fellow robot companion, "Thunderwave... My loyal companion. It's been too long!"
The blue robot rotated her head and saw the purple spider slowly approaching,
"I hope you don't mind, but I have someone I want to introduce to you." Tarantula grinned.
The spider drone then turned around and lifted his claw towards the jackal, "Thunderwave, I want you to meet Infinite the Jackal."
Thunderwave looked down to the small insignificant jackal.
Infinite recoiled before the large blue robot, "It's a pleasure to meet a potential teammate."
Once the introductions were over with, Tarantula turned his attention towards Thunderwave. "My dear Thunderwave... for how long did we endure the embarrassment handed to us by that experiment? Everything we built, and dismantled, all because of my arch nemesis?!"
Upon hearing those words, Infinite flew over to Tarantula and elbowed him in one of his claws, "Ahem. OUR arch nemesis."
Tarantula's face frowned towards the Jackal before returning his attention towards Thunderwave,
"We cannot let SNT go unpunished. With our forces combined, we can return to our former glory, rebuild the Nightmare Armada, and exact vengeance on all of these fools."
Upon hearing SNT's name, Thunderwave grabbed the electrical wire with its orange claw, and snapped it off before throwing it out to the side.
Both Thunderwave and Tarantula slowly approached each other,
"So... will you join my cause, Thunderwave?"
Tarantula then lifted his claw as Thunderwave raised her claw towards the spider robot.
Thunderwave nodded.
They both shook hands, and the deal was made. Thunderwave was now the third member to join Tarantula and Infinite in this mysterious alliance.
"Welcome aboard the Heinous Hex, my Thunderwave." The spider drone grinned.
Tarantula and Thunderwave then slowly approached Infinite, "So Infinite, where are we heading to next?" Tarantula asked.
Infinite turned around to look at the portal which was still open, "Hmm... I may have a few ideas on where to find more allies."
Meanwhile, back in the stadium of Sin Serials. Dragon had entered the arena floor with his sword drawn.
He then shifted his head over to where his stepson flew six feet from him.
Poor Void was struggling to get back to his feet. Every time he tried to get back up, his legs would shake profusely, causing him to collapse. You can tell, Void was terrified beyond belief.
Dragon slowly walked over to his stepson and raised his sword in the air, prompting the audience members to cheer him on.
"Yes, Content Control supporters! Thank you, tis a great honor to be here; defending the censored world!" Dragon happily shouted.
He then swung his sword in a figure eight formation and pointed it towards his stepson's direction, "And as for you my stepson... on your feet!!!"
Upon hearing his stepfather's words, Void eventually mustered up the strength he needed to get back to his feet; ready to confront his stepfather.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the b*d that gunned down many innocent people back at the U.A.V academy. Tried to censor my friends, and has made my life a living hell since our first encounter!" Void shouted in anger, "Looks like you're back for more, I see?"
But right before he could draw his sword and take up his fighting stance, SNT got back to her feet. She then ran to Void and hugged him while turning her head towards the enemy.
"If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too!!!" SNT shouted with a stern look on her face.
But Dragon bent his knees and swung his sword in a fighting position, "No my dear... only one will die tonight." He then shifted his focus to the blue anti-virus. "AND IT'S YOU... MY SON!!!"
Panicking and frightened, Void quickly drew his sword as Dragon sprouted his wings and boosted towards his son.
As this was happening, Catney finally got back to her feet and ran towards SNT; to pull her away to safety.
The blue anti-virus ran towards his stepfather as they clashed their swords together.
As Void and Dragon clashed swords, both Void and Dragon stabbed each other in the arm,
"AHHHHHHH!!!" Void yelled.
"Grrrrr." Dragon growled in pain.
Both robots then reached into their pockets and simultaneously took out a bandage. They began to bandage their injuries, while having a tense stare down with each other.
Once their stab wounds were patched up, Void ran towards Dragon with his sword and began to duel his stepfather, but Dragon accidentally left himself open, allowing Void to throw some punches, hooks and uppercuts to Dragon's body.
But little did Void realize, a couple of times when he tried to throw some good hits, Dragon would use his wings to block as many attacks as he could.
Dragon then boosted forward with his wings sprouting out as he delivered a flying kick to the poor anti-virus' face.
He then grabbed Void from his neck and began to run around the stadium, as he was running, his wings began to flap faster and faster. Dragon was preparing for takeoff.
The stepfather then jumped up and took to the air where he began to locate a nearby target for his next attack.
He eventually spotted a metal beam near the second-floor bleachers, he boosted straight for the stands and used his momentum to throw a tornado kick to poor Void, sending him flying head first through the beam, causing a cracked hole to form and Void's body was immediately K.Oed.
But the damage wasn't over, Void's body then slowly fell from the cracked hole of the beam as he fell two stories from where he was damaged.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Dragon boosted back into the air and used his lower body weight to slam Void straight to the ground causing a shockwave within a 8-foot radius.
SNT, Catney and Saki began to lose their balance as they fell to the floor, as a result of Dragon's shockwave. "Oww." SNT muttered.
Dragon then grabbed his stepson and hoisted him back to his feet.
He then began to slice and hack away at Void with his sword, while throwing multiple kicks, knee strikes and spinning back kicks.
After a stab to the abdomen, and a side kick to the head, Void was K.Oed once again.
"VOID!!!!!" SNT shouted, as she and the girls slowly got back to their feet.
Dragon then looked up towards the crowd, while lifting his sword to taunt. The audience was cheering wildly for the enemy robot. "ARE'T THOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!!!"
"NOOOOOO!!!" The audience happily cheered. They continued to throw trash onto the stadium floor while booing our heroes.
"Well f*k you too then!!!" Saki shouted towards the audience while flipping the bird.
But suddenly, one audience member threw a kendo stick towards Dragon's feet. The robot smirked as he picked it up.
He then turned his attention to Void who was struggling to get back to his feet.
"Void, you gotta get back up, please!!!" Catney cried out.
Dragon swung the kendo stick in a circle, while measuring his stepson for his next attack.
When Void finally got back to his feet, Dragon raised his sword.
"C'MON!!!" Dragon shouted. With the kendo stick in the opposite hand, he slashed and hacked away at Void multiple times with the sword and kendo stick simultaneously. Void was down once again; but he still wasn't out.
Dragon then placed his sword and kendo stick in an X position as he bowed before the crowd. He then bent his knees and positioned himself in a fighting stance, as if a ninja was holding two stealth daggers.
Having had enough, Void scrambled to his feet as he grabbed for the kendo stick out of Dragon's hand.
But Dragon placed his sword back into his belt and used his open hand to push Void away from him.
He then let out an evil grin as he took the kendo stick and performed a powerful knee strike, breaking the stick in half.
Dragon then threw it off to the side and drew his sword once again. "Where's your kendo stick now? Mister Void?!!!"
He then jumped in the air with his sword in hand and tried performing a mid-air ground stab to the poor anti-virus.
Luckily for Void, because he was on the floor; he was able to roll out of the way every time Dragon jumped up to stab his stepson.
But once Void returned to his feet and drew his sword, he was immediately met with a barrage of slices, hacks and stabs from his stepfather.
After a kick to his chest, Void was sent flying 3-feet away from the dangerous robot.
"Void!!! Get back on your feet you little b*rd!!!" Saki shouted.
Dragon then turned towards the audience and lifted his sword once again, "MUAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! YOU'RE ALL TOO KIND!!!"
As Void slowly struggled to get back to his feet, another audience member threw down a weapon, this time; the weapon landed in front of the anti-virus.
Void was amazed at what he saw, "Hmmm, maybe this is the equalizer I need to defeat my stepfather."
Void reached out his hand and grabbed another kendo stick.
He then picked up his sword and held both the kendo stick and sword with both hands; he was trying to attempt the same trick Dragon used on him minutes ago.
Sneaking up from behind, Void swung the weapons and slashed Dragon from behind.
But Dragon immediately caught on to what his stepson tried to do, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the kendo stick off Void's hand.
He then knee struck the kendo stick. Thus; breaking another stick in half.
Void was shocked at what he just witnessed, "Dammit, Dragon has become tougher than the last time we fought each other."
Suddenly, Dragon flapped his wings with brute force, slashing Void in the abdomen.
He then picked up his stepson and body slammed him onto the stadium floor.
But just before he could taunt the crowd, Void slowly got back to his feet.
Dragon was impressed.
He then stuck out his tongue and flapped his wings. With a simple jump, he took off back into the air.
Panicking and not knowing where Dragon would strike next, SNT and the girls quickly ran for cover, as they hid somewhere in the corner.
But Void wasn't ready to give up just yet, he picked up his sword and began to run after him.
Upon reaching the bleachers, the anti-virus looked up to notice that the enemy was on the first floor of the bleachers.
Void grabbed his sword and began to stab the metal stand multiple times in an attempt to climb up.
This was very difficult for the blue robot. For every stab he made to the wall, he had to slide his hand up, and stab the wall higher as quickly as possible without slipping and falling.
After a good 2 minutes; along with 9 attempts of nearly falling, Void finally reached the first floor of the bleachers where he found Dragon who was waiting for him with his hands behind his back.
But unbeknownst to Void, behind his back was a weapon that was provided to him by another audience member, As Void drew his sword and charged towards his stepfather.
Dragon simply smirked and whacked his stepson with a ladder like a baseball bat.
He then hoisted the ladder over Void and body slammed the ladder onto his abdomen.
Dragon then picked up his stepson and began punching and kicking his son multiple times, until he grabbed Void, stood on the edge of the bleachers and choke slammed his stepson off the stands and onto the floor.
"VOID!!!!!" The girls cried in unison.
Void slowly woke up from his injuries and began to cough binary coded blood.
Dragon then tried again to perform the ground pound stab,
but Void quickly rolled out of the way, and drew his sword as quickly as he could.
He then started stabbing, slash and hacking away at his stepfather. It was the first time he could do as much damage as he could since the battle began.
But his attacks were short lived, as Dragon picked up his stepson once again, and delivered a power bomb onto the stadium floor.
"VOID!!! WHAT THE F*K ARE YOU DOING?!!!" Saki screamed, "FIGHT BACK!!! FOR GOD SAKES SOLDIER!!!"
Upon hearing Saki screaming her voice out loud, Void slowly returned to his feet.
But just before he could draw his sword to attack his stepfather, Dragon swung his sword in a circle at top speed, and threw his sword towards his stepson like a frisbee.
Shocked at what was happening, Void quickly arched his back and safely dodged the spinning sword.
But unbeknownst to the anti-virus, the frisbee sword was coming back to Dragon's direction like a boomerang.
The frisbee flew back towards his stepfather's direction and slashed Void by his back.
"GYAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Void cried,
"VOID!!!!!!!!" Catney and SNT shouted in unison.
Poor Void bent down on his knees and attempted to crawl away from his stepfather.
But Dragon let out a maniacal laugh, "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!"
As he laughed, he flapped his wings once again and took to the skies,
He flew all the way up to the top floor where he hid a nasty surprise for his stepson. At the top of the stadium stood a crate with multiple swords that were just waiting to be used.
He grabbed 3 swords from one hand, and 3 from the other.
He then swung the swords as fast as he could in circles. However, he swung each hand one mile second behind each other.
Once the sword spinning was complete and enough momentum was built; Dragon let go of the swords, and 6 boomerang frisbees began to fly towards his stepson's direction.
Void was shocked as his stomach began to turn, "Gulp."
He tried his best to dodge all 6 frisbee spinning swords, but took damage when he attempted to dodge the fifth spinning sword.
And because the frisbee swords were boomerangs, Void stumbled and staggered left to right while trying to dodge the frisbees again; but got hit halfway by the third boomerang in the opposite direction.
The anti-virus then took a deep breath... and collapsed onto the floor.
Unfortunately for Void, his wound was severe. He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his fileted stomach; and binary coded blood leaking from his injuries.
"VOID NOOOOO!!!" SNT cried,
The poor chimera had enough. She ran towards Void's location; away from Catney and Saki.
SNT bent down on her knees and quickly grabbed some bandages from Void's belt. SNT was attempting to treat Void's injuries.
Void looked up towards the frightened chimera, "SNT? What are you doing here?!!" Void asked, looking worried, "If Dragon sees you, he will kill you!!!"
"I KNOW VOID!!!" SNT cried as she hugged him tightly, "BUT I'M NOT GONNA STAND BY AND WATCH YOU DIE!!!"
"Ohh SNT." Void smiled as he and SNT hugged each other once again.
But just then, the love letter worm began to grab hold of SNT once again. She lowered her head and puckered up her lips.
The chimera then kissed the robot's lips tenderly, before she shook her head to resist the worm's payloads.
"No!!! Back off you stupid worm!" SNT shouted as she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth while shaking her head back and forth.
But Void slowly grabbed the chimera's cheek to stop her from shaking her head.
"You know what SNT, at this point... If this means death, then let the viruses take me." Void said with a tear in his eye. He then leaned his neck forward and gently kissed SNT in return; accepting his fate.
But SNT bit his lips to fight out of it, "No Void!! I'm not gonna let you blue screen again!!! You're a wonderful anti-virus, and you've already done so much for me and my friends!!!" SNT shouted as she began to cry. "If you blue screen again, we'll never see you again!!! And we need you to help us save the computer world!!!"
Upon hearing her reasons, Void looked up and smiled at her. "Will you fight by my side, SNT?"
"Always." SNT smirked as she and Void gave each other another hug.
As SNT resumed bandaging up Void's injuries halfway through, Dragon flew back down to the stadium floor; ready to confront the pair.
"How pathetic... And I thought you would be somewhat more... of a challenge." Dragon said, looking unimpressed.
"Dragons... Content Control... Viruses... Optical Illusions..." The chimera growled in anger.
She slowly got up to her feet and grabbed Void's sword, "I hate you... I hate what you're doing! I hate everyone you're supporting!! But most importantly, I hate everything you stand for!!!" SNT yelled.
She then bent down on her knees and carried the anti-virus back to his feet.
But all of a sudden, she looked to the side and saw Catney and Saki approaching her, they were not happy to see the chimera.
"SNT?!! Did you just f*ng kiss that robot?!!!" Catney shouted,
SNT looked at the girls with a surprised poker face.
She then frowned back at Catney, "Yes... I did."
The chimera slowly approached her creator while still carrying the robot in her arms, "I did kiss this robot. Because it was the only way to convince him that I'm still infected by the love letter worm."
Catney's anger suddenly shifted to looking shocked. She placed her hands over her mouth.
"Wait! What the hell did you just say?!"
"I'm infected." SNT responded with a stern look.
Upon hearing the chimera's words, Saki started freaking out. "I'm definitely not comfortable with this!!! DISLIKE!!! DISLIKE!!!"
SNT then slowly approached the girls and hosted the anti-virus towards them, "Alright then, let me ask you girls... If you had an anti-virus installed onto your system, and he died right in front of you... Would you do everything in your power to reinstall him so he can fix your infected system?"
Catney took a deep breath and sighed, "Well... technically yes. I would do everything in my power to get my personal stuff back up and running. That is, if I can afford it, of course." She admitted.
SNT then turned to Saki with a stern look on her face.
"...Meh." Saki answered, clearly indicating that she would just scrap her computer right then and there.
"Wow! You have quite the deep and vast emotional range for your infected computer!" SNT growled, "Alright miss missy miss! Wait til' I break your stuff, then we'll see how you like it!!!
Void volunteered to become my anti-virus because I believe in him. And yes, it's true... I am infected. I've been infected by the love letter worm ever since my very first adventure here in the computer world. And now that this anti-virus is ready to pass his second exam, he'll be able to disinfect me in no time.
BUT HE CANNOT DISINFECT ME IF HE BLUE SCREENS TO HIS DEATH!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!!!" SNT yelled.
Just then, Void slowly opened his eyes once again as the chimera brought him back to his feet. "Catney?... Saki? What are you doing here? I thought you girls were hiding?!"
"Void, are you okay?" SNT asked as she turned his cheek towards her,
"I'm alright SNT... I think I'll live... I'm not sure." Void admitted as he slowly held onto his stomach. "By the way... how many system restore files do I have left?"
But suddenly, a sinister voice interrupted their short reunion, "NONE!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!"
SNT quickly held onto Void's waist and gave Dragon a stern look as he slowly approached the pair.
Dragon smirked at his stepson, revealing that he was holding 2 swords. One of which belonged to his stepson. He threw Void's sword towards his stepson's feet.
"Pick up thy sword!" Dragon ordered as he turned his back on his stepson and took a few steps forwards.
"Face me like the true anti-virus you are!!!" Dragon shouted as he swung his sword multiple times before taking up his fighting stance.
Fearing for his life, Void slowly bent down on his knees and picked up his sword while keeping his eyes on his stepfather.
Once Void had his sword in hand, Dragon turned his back on his stepson and waited for his stepson to strike.
With the opportunity in hand, Void swung his sword into position and began to run towards his stepfather.
But Dragon already anticipated his move, he turned around and used his wings to slash his chest. He then grabbed for his stepson's sword. Void was shocked,
Dragon then used his stepson's sword to his own advantage. He picked up his stepson and his sword all together, and performed a mid-air somersault before slamming him onto the ground.
As the audience continued to cheer on and throw more trash onto the floor. Another audience member threw another ladder onto the floor next to Dragon.
Dragon smiled and grabbed the ladder.
He then started swinging and spinning the ladder like a sign post while waiting for his stepson to get back to his feet.
When Void finally returned to his feet, Dragon started slashing and swinging wildly at Void with the ladder, severely injuring the anti-virus once again.
He then picked Void up and power bombed him onto the ladder. Thus; breaking the ladder in half.
But all of a sudden; without warning, Void snapped.
He quickly grabbed half the ladder and swung the ladder towards his stepfather's shoulder.
He then picked up Dragon with all his might and body slammed him onto the floor.
But Dragon was still relentless. He slowly returned to his feet and smirked towards his stepson, "Is that the best you can do?!" Dragon taunted.
Dragon then quickly reached for his stepson's sword and began to spin and swing two swords simultaneously.
He then tried to stab, slash and hack away at his unarmed stepson,
But finally understanding all of his stepfather's tricks, he managed to duck, jump over, side step and arch his back to avoid as many attacks as he could.
When Dragon finally got tired from swinging the two swords, Void quickly performed a spinaroonie; kicking Dragon's feet, and knocking him down to the floor.
Void then grabbed Dragon by the waist and used the last of his strength to Supplex his stepfather onto half of the broken ladder.
"GRAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Dragon roared in pain.
Finally, Void stretched out his arm and reached for his sword.
Realizing what was about to happen, Dragon quickly closed his eyes and flinched away.
Void hoisted his sword in the air as quickly as he could, and stabbed the sword in front of Dragon's throat.
But the sword did not go through.
"VOID!!! STEPSON!!! I QUIT!!! I QUIT!!!" Dragon roared in desperation.
Shocked and surprised, Void lowered his sword and got off of Dragon's body.
Upon seeing what had happened, Loyrak grabbed the microphone and addressed the booing crowd, "And ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner... Void Ranger?!!!"
The crowd was furious, they continued to throw trash and weapons onto the floor towards our heroes.
"VOID!!! YOU DID IT!!! YOU BEAT HIM!!!" SNT shouted happily.
Void ran towards the girls and gave them a group hug.
"Yeah... I guess I won!" Void smiled.
SNT then gave Void a quick kiss on the cheek, Void smiled at SNT who was blushing. "Void... you were incredible!"
"Thank you SNT... thank you." Void said as he and the chimera embraced each other.
At the same time, Catney and Saki were still looking up at the booing crowd,
"Geez, they still hate us after all that?!!!" Catney complained.
"Trust me nii-chan, these a*holes will never change." Saki reassured her.
Catney and Saki then approached the chimera and the anti-virus, "Hey Void, listen. Even though I saw you kiss SNT, to which I still don't approve of... you're still a cool robot to be around with." Catney admitted.
Void bowed his head towards SNT's creator, "Thank you for those kind words, Courtney. I really do appreciate it."
Saki then placed her hand on Void's shoulder, "Void... Just be more careful next time, okay?"
Void nodded in agreement, and all four heroes continued to hug each other.
Meanwhile, back at the stands; Webroot was furious, he placed his hand next to his mouth and called out, "BOOOOOO!!! BOOOOOO!!! IS HE FOR REAL?!!! DID VOID JUST DESTROY MY BEST FRIEND DRAGON?!!! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE!!!"
He then grabbed some popcorn and continued eating nervously.
Meanwhile, atop the clam looking platform on the third floor; both Quant and Total AV were looking down towards our heroes. They were unimpressed by the outcome of this battle.
"It appears that your most trustworthy supporters have been defeated by these pathetic heathens. And with all the dragons eliminated, what's next for these horrible putrid animals?!!!" Quant asked the evil minister.
Total AV looked down at his son and smirked, "Well my lord Quant, what about Optical Illusions? There's no way these children can survive a fight, when they have to contend with 5 rogue anti-viruses in our corner."
Quant then turned his attention towards Total AV, "Ah, a team battle? And keeping the odds in our favor?... Total AV, I like the way you think! Let's roll with it!!!"
Quant then stared towards the crowd, "Loyrak, begin the next round!!!"
But back at the lounge near the stadium floor; Loyrak was too busy being distracted by a phone call with his mother, "What?!!! No mother, mom!!! MOM?!!! MOM!!! SHUT UP!! My toe is ingrown!!!"
He then looked up at Quant and was shocked upon seeing Quant's unamused expression on his face.
"Sorry mom, I gotta go!!!" Loyrak shouted,
He then quickly pressed a button on his phone to hang up the call. "I'm sorry, what is it sir? Oh yes... the next round, right away sir!!!"
Loyrak then grabbed the microphone once again and began to address the audience. "This next team entering the arena requires no introduction!!! Therefore, would you all please welcome... Optical Illusions!!!"
Suddenly, entering the stadium floor were the five Void clones that were running towards our heroes with their swords already drawn.
Once they reached the center of the stadium, they stood in front of our heroes and drew their swords.
"Oh no!!! Not these clowns again!!!" Void shouted looking shocked.
"Welcome back to hell, my brother." One of the clones chuckled, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Especially ever since our last encounter back on the island of Genesis!!!
And now that we have you in our sights once again... LET'S DANCE!!!" The clone shouted as all five clones got into a fighting stance simultaneously.
Suddenly, Catney began to approach the clones, "You leave my friends alone!!!"
"If you f*ng touch nii-chan, I'll mop the f*ng floor with you!!!" Saki threatened.
Catney then reached onto Void's belt and pulled out his sword. "If you want my friends, you're gonna have to go through me!!!" Catney shouted.
Void was shocked with what just happened. "Catney!!! What the hell are you doing with my ax?!!"
"What the hell does it look like, I'm saving your life!!!" Catney shouted while turning her head towards the anti-virus.
But Void suddenly looked around him and realized, "But wait a minute, we're still outnumbered! There's five of them and only four of us! We need a fifth player!!! Where in the hell are we gonna find a fifth member?!!"
"You don't have to look very far." Said a familiar voice from a distance.
The heroes turned around and saw minister Sophos slowly approaching them.
Void and the girls were furious to see him, "Minister Sophos, what the hell are you doing here?! Whatever happened to betraying us and becoming the double agent?!!!"
"Because of you, you sent us into a death trap!!!" SNT growled.
"DISLIKE!!! DISLIKE!!!" Saki shouted in disgust,
"I don't think we should give him a chance." Catney agreed,
But Minister Sophos slowly closed his eyes and began to confess, "Ladies, SNT and especially you Void Ranger... I have come to realize that I made a grave mistake. Content Control wishes to censor all content, and anything that would be considered a threat to internet censorship. However, the truth is something far grimmer.
There was a point in time where I sided with the U.A.V, when I called Content Control out for acquiring pirated software. That time however, I was punished; forced to go into hiding due to harassment by their Parrot virus...
I thought I could get away, I thought I would be safe. But Content Control was relentless, the harassment continued, my life dangling by a thread.
I wanted it to stop, I wanted to be free, so I did what I believed was right, I betrayed the U.A.V and sold Void Ranger out. I was promised that this would end the harassment, promised that I would be able to live in peace... but I should've known better...
Here I stand, in front of everyone as my end draws near. No longer, a respectful minister, no longer a protector of computer safety... Now I stand before you, as a coward, a traitor, and a fool. My actions threatened the world's protection, almost causing its downfall all because I wished to protect myself instead of pursuing the very purpose I was born with.
I can never take back the pain, take back all the problems I have caused; all I can do now is apologize, I'm sorry for everything... I'm sorry for all the damage I have caused... after everything... as I now look into the eyes of death itself, I can only say that I am sorry for being a failure of an anti-virus..."
All of a sudden, Void looked up towards the minister and slowly began to approach him.
When Sophos finally opened his eyes, Void gave Sophos a big hug. "Minister Sophos... I forgive you."
Catney looked at both robots and growled, "Void?... this minister..."
But Void turned around and approached her, "I know what he did Catney, I'm aware of everything. Which is why I'm gonna go ahead and give him another chance.
If anyone wishes to object, take your anger out on me!!! Are we clear?" Void responded with a stern look on his face.
The girls were not happy with Void's decision, but if they were gonna have to save the computer world; they would eventually have to trust him.
"If we die in this next round, I'm gonna f*ng kill you!!!" Saki growled.
"Void, you better know what the hell you're doing!!!" SNT yelled.
Catney then turned around and lifted Void's sword in the air as minister Sophos finally drew his sword towards the clones. "Come at me!!! A*hole!!!" Catney yelled.
"With please... little kitty!!!" The clones shouted in unison.
But all of a sudden, before the clones could even attack our heroes, their bodies began to glitch out and short circuit.
"NYAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" The clones roared as their bodies became static.
"Oh no! What's going on?!" SNT shouted as she held onto Void's arm,
"Ahem." Annunciated a familiar voice from behind.
The team of 5 turned around and saw Dragon slowly returning to his feet,
"Dragon?!! Stepfather?!! What is the meaning of this?!!!" Void asked, looking terrified.
"You poor simple fools..." Dragon snickered. "Haven't you forgotten that I know every username, every password and every admin privileges of the United Anti-Virus movement?!!"
Void looked at his stepfather weirdly, "Well... yes? I haven't forgotten about what you told me since our last encounter; back at the academy..."
But all of a sudden, Void's expression shifted from confused to shocked, "...Wait a minute, you're not!!!"
Dragon chuckled, "That's right blueberry boy... I have complete control over these fools!!!" Dragon shouted as he raised his arm over the clones standing behind them. "And now, the time has come to put you out of my misery... forever!!!"
Dragon then snapped his fingers, and the clones began to charge towards our heroes.
Panicking, Void quickly swiped his sword away from Catney.
Void, Sophos and SNT charged forward towards the clones while Catney and Saki retreated.
Suddenly, 2 of the clones grabbed each other's arms and began to spin around faster and faster; forming a tornado of swords.
The tornado then boosted forward in an attempt to strike down SNT.
But SNT simply smirked and fired a flamethrower from her wispon.
"Are you feeling hot hot hot yet?" SNT snarked.
As the audience continued to boo, Webroot lifted his arm and shouted, "BOOOO!!! That was a cheap shot!!! BOOOOOOOO!!!"
Meanwhile, as Catney and Saki were running away to safety, both girls got intercepted by 2 more clones who were running towards them.
Reacting quickly, Saki pushed Catney aside, and the clones then jumped up into the air, striking Saki down with their swords.
"GOD F*NG D*T!!!" Saki growled in pain.
The clones then raised their swords towards Catney, "Nighty night little kitty!!!" The clones taunted.
One clone then grabbed the cat girl and hoisted her high in the air,
Frightened, she let out a cry of help, "HELP ME!!!"
But all of a sudden, Void boosted into the clones and with his sword; he struck them from behind like kebabs.
Void then picked up Catney and brought her back to her feet,
"Way to go hero!!!" Catney shouted, "AND GET OFF OF SAKI!!!"
"Geez, excuse me princess!" Void shouted while rolling his eyes.
He then stepped to the side and carried Saki back to her feet.
But right before he could grab the girls and carry them to safety, the fifth clone struck him from behind with his own sword and launched him towards a metal beam.
Once the anti-virus made impact with the beam, Void fell face first onto the floor.
"Do you hear that brother? Deletion... it is inevitable." The evil clone taunted.
But Void slowly got back to his feet and picked up his evil brother. He then body slammed him towards his stepfather's feet. "Brother... your deletion is mandatory!!!"
Dragon was furious.
He quickly charged towards his stepson with his sword in hand, and attempted to slash, stab and hack away at his step son.
But Void quickly reacted by ducking, dodging, side stepping and arching his back to avoid all of Dragon's sword attacks.
He then quickly drew his sword and began to duel with his stepfather.
But as the duel continued, Dragon reached for one of the clone's swords, and began to swing 2 swords simultaneously in a figure eight formation.
Realizing that he is outnumbered, Void calls out, "Minister Sophos, I'm gonna need a little help over here!!!"
Upon hearing his voice as he led the girls to safety, Sophos drew his sword and ran towards the blue anti-virus.
Despite Dragon being surrounded by 2 anti-viruses, he still had the edge with the 2 swords he held in his hands.
"The jig is up Dragon, surrender now or forever rest in peace!" Void shouted as his eyes became pupilless, he then threatened his stepfather by taking his sword and stroking his blade across his throat.
But Dragon was unamused, "Really? Is that the best threat you can come up with? Because I got something better."
Dragon then snapped his fingers and all the clones rebooted into safe mode.
Void and Sophos then began to clash swords with Dragon, while at the same time; fight off as many clones as they could.
But Dragon was still too powerful, he used his body weight to push both Sophos and Void back.
He then flapped his wings and took to their air where he began to spin his swords around and around like a tornado,
"LET IT RIP!!!" Dragon roared, He then released his swords into Sophos and Void's direction.
Void and Sophos began to run all over the stadium while trying to avoid his tornado attacks.
The problem though, was that the tornados were spinning like Beyblades, so the direction where these tornados would spin to next is unpredictable.
But thankfully for the anti-viruses, they managed to barely avoid both tornado attacks.
Dragon then punched the ground again, causing another shockwave; which sent Void and Sophos flying six feet away.
He then slowly reached for the two swords once again and began to swing one sword in a figure eight formation while emitting sparks from the other sword.
Dragon then crossed his swords together and took up his fighting stance.
Using the last of his strength, he put the 2 swords together and once again clashed with the anti-viruses.
But Void and Sophos smirked at Dragon, as they used their own body strength to push his stepfather back.
Dragon then separated his swords and tried to duel both Void and the minister.
But Dragon made one simple mistake, he eventually started losing his grip on one of the swords.
Using this weakness to his advantage, Void slashed Dragon's hand with his sword; thus, disarming him.
Sophos then approached Dragon and aimed his sword to Dragon's neck. "Mister Dragon ranger of the 9 dragons!!! You are under arrest!!!" The minister shouted.
But Dragon smirked, "Oh really now?"
He then took out a red glowing ball and hoisted it in the air. He then slammed the ball onto the floor, and smoke emitted from the ball like a smoke bomb.
Both Void and Sophos covered their mouths to prevent themselves from breathing the smoke.
And once the smoke was finally lifted, Dragon was nowhere to be found.
Minister Sophos then walked up towards Void and placed his hand over the shoulder, "Mister Void, are you alright?"
"I think so... I managed to survive against my stepfather, and my five brothers simultaneously. That's gotta count for something right?" Void asked the minister,
The minister then approached Void and gave him a hug.
As the audience members continued to boo, Webroot was watching the entire fight in disappointment.
But all of a sudden, Total AV walked up to the bleachers where Webroot was sitting and gestured to him to exit the stadium. "C'mon Webroot, we're leaving. This execution has become nothing more than a sh*t show."
Agreeing to leave the stadium, Webroot throws the last of his popcorn onto the floor and follows Total AV out of the stadium. "Yeah, screw Content Control. This fight was getting boring anyway."
Once Total AV and Webroot finally left the stadium, Quant continued looking down at what just happened. He was furious.
"Just you wait, blueberry boy, someday; I promise you... pain without end." Quant threatened.
The Phantom Ruby portal opened, Tarantula, Infinite and Thunderwave excited into this brand new world. It was night time in this dimension's Station Square.
"We're here." Infinite announced.
Tarantula looked at the city in disgust, "Yuck, if we ever come back here again, remind me to destroy this city first."
"I'm sure our new recruit would be VERY pleased if you did that." Infinite sneered. As motioned towards a battle just a couple rooftops aways.
In a secluded area, a form that looked like Sonic was beating up a form that looked like SNT. Upon closer inspection, the group could see it was actually Metal Sonic and the one they were here for.
The chimera taking a beating from Metal wasn't SNT, but a male. His name was STAK and he seemed not to care for the hits he was taking. He didn't even look at the robotic Sonic double. That was until Metal Sonic spoke up.
"I certainly hope you enjoyed your punishment, organic garbage!" The robot yelled, flicking off some oil that hit STAK's face. The action looked like Metal's version of spitting on him.
The blue chimera's eyes snapped open with fury. His eyes glowed purple and even though he was already injured. Angst angst angst.
He jumped up and tackled the robot. He used his enhanced speed and strength to give Metal hard rapid punches. He didn't let up even when Metal Sonic had bolts flying off of him.
The chimera was furious and stopped punching only to dig his fingers into Metal's head. He dug into the robot far enough to be able to rip out wires and pieces from Metal Sonic.
"Don't you act all high and mighty you piece of trash! The only reason you were able to hit me was because I was ordered to! That's it! You better get it through your thick metal head, I am far stronger than you and could destroy you! You can't do a thing to hurt me!" STAK yelled in the glitching robot's face.
The male chimera huffed as his aura died down again. The purple in his eyes faded as well and he got up. He gave Metal a kick simply because he didn't like him and then wiped oil off of himself. He also shook his hands a bit from pain that affected him only now.
STAK then sighed as he glared down at Metal Sonic's broken body. "Dr. Eggman is gonna yell at me for doing that," He muttered with a groan.
"Marvelous young warrior, you defeated a robotic copy of the world's laziest hero." Tarantula snarked.
STAK looked over to see the small group. He narrowed his eyes, not liking the looks of two robots with only one organic person. He crossed his arms as he faced the robotic spider.
"That sounds like you want me to prove my power. Would you like me to demonstrate how strong I am by causing you to become obsolete?!" The chimera spat out, still angry from his time with Metal Sonic.
"Don't worry, young warrior," Tarantula reassured, "we only came to you for your assistance."
"Your powers would be very useful for a small being like yourself." Infinite chimed in.
"SMALL?!" STAK exclaimed, his anger and aura flaring up. "You're the same height as me! If not like an inch taller. Can't really tell due to that stupid mask of yours! What? Are you scared to show your pathetic face? So you chose to look like a deranged clown instead?"
"Infinite, let me handle the talking," Tarantula intervened, "What my partner was trying to say is, we need your help against a common enemy... SNT."
Hearing that name made the chimera stiffen with his eyes widening ever so slightly and his breath hitch. "You're after the Traitor?" He asked. Then he looked the small group up and down. "Why? Wait, no, I don't care! I can take care of her on my own." He continued, turning from them.
"Oh no, not your SNT. A different one. One so different yet so alike." Tarantula continued, "And that SNT... has a robot boyfriend."
STAK immediately turned back around and walked right up to Tarantula. "Did you just say a robot boyfriend? A robot that is close to SNT that I can destroy, and thus; hurt SNT in a way I never could before? I'M IN!" He inquired with malicious glee.
Suddenly, a sudden buzzing sound came from Tarantula's helmet. The spider robot pressed a button on his helmet.
"Hello, this is Tarantula speaking," the spider robot said.
"Tarantula! Where the hell are you and Infinite at!? I thought I left both of you to guard the prisoners back at the monastery!" Big Old Tori shouted,
But Tarantula just ignored him, and pressed the button on his helmet to hang up the call,
He then gave out a devilish grin, "...On with the game."
