The crime alarm rings out throughout the World Crime League, indicating that the time has come to embark on the mission to reclaim the crime pole. Down on the first floor, Windsor, still bruised and beaten after his encounter with the pants, raises his fist in the air as a symbolic gesture, and the rest of the World Crime League erupts into song as they march outside, filing into mxy's van. The only members remaining in the building are Cybr, who had no interest in the mission, El Diablo, due to his immobility and the nature of the mission, and Boneregard, who slept through the crime alarm. mxy glares forwards with earplugs in, unamused by the sheer amount of ruckus being caused by everyone else in the van. He plugs the drop-off point into his GPS and starts driving. Dinomundo's whereabouts were tracked down as being somewhere within Paleo-Minneapolis, based on the very obvious wake of destruction he left as he ran from Costa Brava on foot. The plan is to release everybody outside of the city limits of Minneapolis, while still being within the Greater Minneapolan Area. This way, mxy's vehicle will not succumb to the effects of Paleo-Minneapolis, and will be usable on the ride home. In the back of the van, the members are going over what they know of their opponent and what courses of action they may take.
"So, from what we've seen, this guy is basically an unstoppable force of nature. Attacking him head on is definitely out of the question." Bunny explains, pointing at a bulletin board containing a single crappy drawing of Dinomundo and nothing else.
"Hey, I have an important question." Mugsy says, raising his hand.
"Yes, Mugsy?" Bunny points at the hand, and Mugsy lowers it.
"If any technology that goes into Minneapolis is reverted to caveman times, will that affect my legs?"
"We'll just have to find out, I guess. If it does affect them, then you can just get new ones afterwards."
"Or you can just chicken out. Bawk bawk bawk! Bawk bawk!" Crime Lad puts his hands in his armpits and flaps his arms up and down while mocking Mugsy. "And what about you, huh? Blight, wasn't it? You gonna manage without that stupid light bulb hat?"
Blight whacks Crime Lad upside the downside with his giant magnet, which seems to shut him up for the moment.
"You know what I think? These guys stole from us, we should steal from them, too. We'll get our stuff back, and then take whatever else we find of value." Chiminal snorts. The rest of the members murmur between one another, and seem to agree that this is a good idea. The van comes to an abrupt stop as mxy slams on the brakes for seemingly no reason, causing everyone in the back to be rattled around like beans in a bag. mxy snickers to himself, glad to have a moment of quiet and also to have screwed with everyone, before driving the rest of the way to the destination and parking normally to let everyone out while he stays behind in the driver's seat. The twelve WCL members exit the back of the van, with Trash King already waiting inside of a trash can in the parking lot. Trash King had been the one to do all the recon for the mission, and already has a general route figured out to get to the area where the crime pole is likely to be held. The proposition walks to the side and spits up a large fish into an open manhole, before joining back with the rest of the group.
"So, where're we heading?" Windsor asks Trash King, taking the lead.
"The Yiggy Dome in the middle of town. Huge building, can't miss it. Seems to be the center of this whole caveman thing." Trash King says, pointing over his shoulder into the city. Windsor nods, and begins marching into Paleo-Minneapolis, with the rest of the WCL following him in an orderly single file line, save for Trash King, who has already disappeared back into the trash can. As the group ventures into the city, they find it mostly devoid of activity, save for the occasional caveman clanking together rocks in an alleyway or trying to start a fire or some other activity of similar nature. However, the Yiggy Dome seems to be a different story, with Neolithic Gamer Flies buzzing around it in front of the entrance, making a direct approach without being caught difficult.
"Oh no, how are we going to get in now?" Bunny's Shadow exclaims, but Virgil holds out his arm in a pointing gesture.
"Hark! Behold, ov'r th're!"
The rest of the members direct their gaze where Virgil is pointing, and see a hole shaped exactly like Dinomundo carrying the crime pole and El Diablo's fedora.
"die…"
"Hey, that's not a great attitude, who said that? Was it one of you guys?" Windsor turns around, looking down the line to see who just spoke.
"No…"
"Oh, that's great to hear. I thought maybe someone was being a negative nancy." Windsor laughs.
"MUNDOOOOOOO!" The sewer grate in front of Windsor briefly rumbles, before Dinomundo erupts out from within, delivering a devastating uppercut that sends Windsor flying all the way out of the micronation and directly into the trash can in the parking lot near mxy's van. The single file line scatters, each member taking their own fighting position. Dinomundo lands with a massive shockwave, grinning at the motley crew in front of him.
"Debes morir." Dinomundo says with a low growl, "This is a land of no laws, no government, and you will not TAKE THAT FROM ME!"
Dinomundo slams his fist into the ground, causing a large wave of rock spikes to spread out in front of him towards the WCL members. When the dust from this attack settles, most of the members have been knocked over or pinned under rubble, with the exception of Gingerman, Shamazon, and Virgil.
"You're strong, but you'll fall just like any other person foolish enough to challenge me." Shamazon declares. D appears in the air behind Shamazon, and begins to swing its eraser through the air, but before it can connect, Dinomundo has already jumped from his spot with great speed and agility, and all Shamazon can do is slightly turn his head in time to see the back of Dinomundo's hand connect directly with his face, sending him sprawling on the pavement. From beneath a pile of rubble, the tip of some kind of drill appears, and the rubble is destroyed with ease, revealing Crime Lad as the wielder of the tool.
"I didn't think I'd need to do this to deal with someone who's built like the reason why Roy and Biv don't hang out with G anymore, but it's time to make use of my Stand, Point of Damascus!"
Crime Lad uses the Stand to harvest the remainder of the rubble from Dinomundo's opening attack. Dinomundo turns his attention to Crime Lad, and begins to charge towards him. The moment Crime Lad sees this, he begins using the materials he harvested to rapidly build slopes and staircases leading upwards, and once he's safely on a rooftop, he deconstructs these structures, causing Dinomundo to run directly into the wall.
"Hey, wait, why didn't you just use that to get out of prison earlier?" Mugsy exclaims, watching Crime Lad. "Or to get through the door instead of blowing it up?"
"Why didn't you flush the toilet last night, huh? Huh?" Crime Lad responds. He's completely making this up, but knows that it will cause a growing distrust towards Mugsy that he can build on later if he must.
"What? We have a toilet?" Mugsy ponders. Crime Lad seems to be trying to think of some other response, but before he can, Dinomundo's mighty legs let him jump into the air high enough to pull himself up onto the rooftop, and he beats his chest in fury, letting out a mighty roar.
"Oh no! Blight, quick, get me up!" Gingerman points at the incoming ass-beating on the roof, and Blight uses his giant magnet as a lever to catapult Gingerman into the air. Gingerman lands directly between Dinomundo and Crime Lad, just in time as Dinomundo begins to pummel Gingerman in a manner not unlike what it would look like if a cyborg tried beating up a senator. Gingerman is completely unharmed by these rapid strikes of blind rage, thanks to his Stand ability, Cheek to Cheek, which nullifies the effect of anything done to Gingerman without being directed at him. Once Dinomundo's flurry ends, Gingerman quickly grabs Crime Lad and jumps back off the roof towards the rest of the group, most of whom are still recovering from the initial attack. As Dinomundo jumps down after them, Virgil steps forth, raising his sword to challenge the beast. Dinomundo walks straight forwards, and raises his hand to ready a slap, holding it in the air. Virgil sees this, and rolls on the ground to the side, but Dinomundo delivers his slap just as Virgil stands up, sending him crashing through multiple buildings and onto a different street altogether.
"HA! Now there's nothing standing between you and ME, big guy! I'll show you that the ONLY people I lose fights against are filthy pigs!" Chiminal cackles, bringing out I Fought the Law. I Fought the Law plunges its fist straight into Dinomundo's chest, but it just gently bumps into it with a squeaky noise, and Dinomundo drives his own fist straight into Chiminal's stupid face, denting it in and sending Chiminal to the ground as his nose begins gushing blood all over the place.
"But…how…? I can break any law…nothing can limit me without any…stupid pigs around…" Chiminal gasps.
"This is a lawless land, muchacho." Dinomundo says, picking Chiminal up by the legs and swinging him around like an olympic hammer before hurling him the opposite direction of Virgil, crashing through several buildings and exiting the city limits altogether. "Come on! Who's next, eh?"
Dinomundo flexes his muscles as he stands unopposed, all his opponents either too scared to fight him or already having gotten their ass beat.
"Hey, hang on, time out, group huddle." not cool says, stepping forwards. Surprisingly, Dinomundo respects this statement, and stands back as not cool, the proposition, Bunny, Bunny's Shadow, Mugsy, Crime Lad, Gingerman, Blight, and Shamazon come together to hear what not cool has to say. "This guy really shouldn't be an enemy. From my previous encounters with him, he has the same ideals as us, and this all seems to be just a big misunderstanding. Also, he can clearly beat every single one of us in a fight, and I would much rather have him on our side. We just need to explain to him that we aren't actually cops, because we aren't."
The proposition wiggles its toes in agreement, and then vomits up another, even larger fish. Dinomundo notices this, and realizes that this must be where the fish he snacked on in the sewers came from earlier. Since littering is illegal, Dinomundo puts the pieces together that the proposition, and by extent the rest of his team, are likely not as law-enforcing as he previously thought. Dinomundo approaches the group and pushes Bunny and Bunny's Shadow apart to join in the huddle.
"Hey, un pregunta, you guys cops?" Dinomundo says, his fierce eyes scanning the faces of those around him, as he knows that cops are required to out themselves when asked this question.
"The hell? No! Blegh!" Crime Lad makes an exaggerated gagging noise.
"Oh hey, new guy, be careful. There's this dino guy we're fighting and he's really strong, but we're trying to figure out how to get past him." Mugsy says, looking at Dinomundo.
"Ah, strong, you say? Is he handsome, too?" Dinomundo says.
"Not re-" Mugsy begins, but Bunny speaks up before he can finish.
"Yeah, he is, gotta say. I wish I had those kinds of muscles."
"Hm…" Dinomundo retracts himself from the group huddle, resting his hand on his chin and staring at the sky as he postulates the situation. He glances back at the group as they continue figuring out different ideas, and then shrugs and walks off. The group huddle continues for quite some time, and as the sun begins to set over the horizon, Trash King pops out from a nearby trash can and whistles to get the attention of the group.
"Ey, what's takin' you? You ain't even busted your way inside yet, and it's already getting dark." Trash King says.
"Well, you see, the dino guy is way too strong for-" Bunny begins.
"What dino guy? You are the only ones here. I checked." Trash King states.
"VHAT? HE DISAPPEARED! That coward must've run away when he saw us devising our ULTIMATE PLAN!" Blight slams his fist into his palm and scowls.
"Look, I don't care about what WAS going on, what matters is now. Just get in here and finish the job so I can get back to other stuff." Trash King goes back into the trash can, and the remaining members exchange a glance before heading into the Yiggy Dome through the Dinomundo-shaped hole, entering the cavernous space within the domed walls.
