Chapter 183: Making Waves In Toedo

Lovelace scuttled up Dr. Zlo's arm minutes after the group escaped the mechanic shop. For some reason, the Young Dragon or whatever he was didn't send his goons after the three; something Sweet Dream considered a stroke of luck.

"Fighting there would have been such a pain."

"Aw, man. I was hoping to test out my new board," Riptide said.

"You got a new board?" Dr. Zlo asked. "You replaced my board?"

Riptide's eyes widened a bit, "Um. No, not exactly, dude."

Lovelace chose that moment to get Dr. Zlo's attention.

My Lord, the museum seems relatively unguarded compared to most. There are only a few guards patrolling, and the security system is faulty. It's like someone wants the materials to get stolen.

"Nonsense," Dr. Zlo said. "I'm sure it's because no one cares about some silly piece of armor."

"What'd the mouse say?" Riptide asked.

Dr. Zlo looked over at his friend, "Don't think I haven't forgotten about replacing my invention. But, Lovelace was telling me how weakly guarded the museum was."

"Oh, come on, dude. I'm not forgetting about it," Riptide cajoled. "I'm repurposing it!"

Dr. Zlo raised an eyebrow.

"I," Riptide pointed to himself proudly, "got a new power."

"Do tell," Dr. Zlo deadpanned.

"No, dude. It's awesome!" Riptide exclaimed. "I can supercharge my surfboards and store them! By doing tricks, I can make waves and other things appear."

"What? You didn't tell me about that," Sweet Dream said.

"I was going to make it a surprise," Riptide answered. "Look, dudes!"

Riptide pulled out Dr. Zlo's surfboard, the device now glowing a bright sea blue. Gracefully, the villain hopped onto his board and performed a simple trick. The surfboard lit up like fluorescent algae, and a small wave crashed over the road. Riptide cut back toward his companions, another wave forming as he did.

"Not bad," Dr. Zlo commented as Riptide landed. "I forgive you for your poor choice of words earlier."

"Gee, thanks dude," Riptide said. "And get this! Different boards have different effects. I got this one with flames painted on it, and I surfed lava! Actual lava! The board burnt up a moment later, and I respawned, but it was awesome!"

Dylan blinked. That was impressive. He didn't expect his friend to have such an amazing upgrade to his power, especially one that worked so well with his earlier ability.

"Are you secretly a pro gamer or something?" Dylan muttered.

"Nah, dude," Riptide answered. "I fail upwards."

"That he does," Sweet Dream said. "Now, come on. If the security is as weak as your minion says, getting that armor should be easy."

Yoriki glowered. This man seemed to know exactly how to rile him up.

The man stopped, almost as if Yoriki's glare rooted him to the spot. But no, it was only because the villain wanted to grandstand.

"Good evening, police and guards of this fine establishment!" the man boomed. "I am Dr. Zlo! Criminal mastermind! And I have come for a rather special item you have on display. Do not worry! If you sit still like good children, no harm will come to you. In fact, Sweet Dream here will give you a treat!"

The monster's smaller children lumbered forward on unsteady legs.

"D*mnit," Sweet Dream cursed. "Why are these things a b*tch to control?"

Yoriki noticed one of the little brown men fall on its face, a splatting noise reaching the inspector's ears.

"They don't exactly have muscles or bones," Dr. Zlo explained. "I'd be surprised if they were easy to control. Perhaps it would be better to make them gumdrop shaped? Or like kisses?"

"You of all people should understand aesthetics," Sweet Dream grumbled.

"Ah, fair point."

Yoriki knew he needed to do something. Anything to stall these villains. Heroes would be on the way soon, and they would be able to deal with this trio bent on stealing whatever was in the museum. He quickly wondered if it was the same item the phantom thief wanted but put it to the back of his mind. Inferring could come later. Right now, Yoriki needed to distract.

"Wait!" the inspector shouted. "Don't think you can get away with this. The heroes will be after you!"

"Oh, I know!" Dr. Zlo answered cheerfully. "That's one of the best parts! It's terribly hard to prove your intellect when no one else is around."

"What is it you're after anyway!" Yoriki shouted, realizing this villain was eager to talk.

"Well, if you must know" Dr. Zlo started.

"Zlo" Sweet Dream looked at him. "We don't have time. And he's obviously stalling."

Yoriki cursed under his breath.

"But Sweet Dream!" Dr. Zlo exclaimed. "How often do I get to explain my plan? And to an interested party, no less? Often it's just, 'I don't care,' or, 'die already!' You don't know how refreshing it is to hear someone take an interest in my work."

"And we don't have time for it," Sweet Dream argued.

Dr. Zlo waved a hand, "Oh, it's not like this particular piece is all that important. It was more a way for me to flex my intellectual muscles. Really, any old piece will do. If we fail, I can always try somewhere else."

Sweet Dream stared at him for a bit, her expression unreadable under all that chocolate.

"C'mon, Dream," Riptide said, surfing up next to the two villains. "Don't you want to try out your new power on some actual heroes?"

"Ugh, fine," Sweet Dream said. "But don't say I didn't warn you if we fail. And no blaming us!"

Sweet Dream thrust a chocolate finger at Dr. Zlo, accentuating her last point.

"Noted," Dr. Zlo said. He turned to Yoriki.
