Chapter 214: The Day You Lost to Dr. Zlo!

Dr. Zlo swished his cane in the air, casting his disintegration spell at the monstrosity in front of him. A static grey beam launched out from the gem, making a beeline for Kaiju's head. The shield player conjured protection in front of Kaiju, blocking some of the beam as it traveled. It was less than Dylan expected, as he didn't think anything would pass through the shield.

The beam struck Kaiju in the face, the monster reeling from the blow.

"Stronger than I expected," Dr. Zlo stated as he watched.

Kaiju roared at Dr. Zlo, a ball of light forming in the monster's mouth. Dr. Zlo pre-emptively swerved away, realizing the attack was a beam of some sort.

"Not today!" The shield player yelled. With a quick wave of his hand, the player conjured a shield in Dr. Zlo's path, stopping the villain in his tracks.

Dr. Zlo crashed right into the shield wall, stopped in his tracks by the invisible barrier. The villain tried to juke up and down, but the shield player wasn't having it. He reacted to Dr. Zlo with perfect accuracy, stopping the villain in place.

"A little help!" Dr. Zlo shouted to Jack.

"Getting there!" Jack said back, her voice mechanical. "I'm testing a new weapon too, you know!"

"Well, I'd like to test mine for longer than a few seconds!" Dr. Zlo yelled back.

"Alright, alright," Jack answered good-humouredly.

The player turned and zeroed in on the shield hero. "Let's see how you deal with this," She said, crouching down.

Lightning crackled around the player as she knelt, supercharging her suit. Jack leaped forward in one motion, her body a blur as it tackled right toward the shield player.

"Sh*t!" the player shouted, rolling to one side. The attack broke his concentration, freeing Dr. Zlo.

The villain moved just in time, Kaiju's laser blast erupting from his mouth and making a beeline. The attack grazed the villain's right hand, eating through his health for a moment. Dr. Zlo answered with a button bomb, tossing the weapon toward Kaiju and creating some time.

"Can you do that move again?" Dr. Zlo asked Jack, flying down to her location.

"Yeah, it just takes a second to charge," Jack answered.

"I'm thinking we try out that freeze spell," the villain smirked.

"Ooh, give 'em the one-two combo," Jack said. "I like it."

"Then get ready," Dr. Zlo said.

The villain flew back up into the air, Jack following his instructions. She crouched down, charging her next attack and aiming at the shield player.

"Stop her!" The shield player shouted.

Kaiju turned, his claws extending into serrated knives. He roared, slashing the air and rushing at Jack, trying to stop her before she got her attack off.

"Ah, ah, ah," Dr. Zlo said, wagging a finger. "Don't you know it's bad manners to interrupt someone?"

The villain flicked the top hat off his head, activating it along with his dueling gloves and sending them at Kaiju. The gloves were one of the first things he changed after the race, adding an explosive kick to every strike. Dr. Zlo's gloves and hat flew forth, the former giving Kaiju a quick jab in the gut. Kaiju reeled back from the force of the blow, giving the hat drone time to land on the monster's eye.

"Sorry, he's going to be like this for a while," Jack said. "You won't get a straight answer from him while he's in character."

"I wouldn't expect anything less," Kaiju said. He turned and waved. "Come get us if you want to lose in the future. Rubic and I 'ill be here for a bit testing out combos. Gonna take on that lich king guy when we feel confident."

"Good luck," Jack said. She waved goodbye, turning back to Dylan. "Alright. What'd you think of the cane?"

"Later," Dr. Zlo said, his eyes scanning the arena. "When prying eyes and ears aren't around."

"Okay," Jack chuckled. "Let's head to my hideout. We can discuss stuff there, and I can tune my mech suit."

"Those spells were a lot stronger than I thought," Dylan answered once the two players made it to Jack's place.

The woman's hideout sat underneath her office in the crafting hub. As the two players walked in, Jack tapped the top of her desk a few times in a pattern. The desk opened up like an origami flower to reveal a spiraling shelter beneath. The two players made their way down until they reached a workroom filled to the brim with power tools and other gadgets. Blueprints of all kinds lay scattered across the many tables, some covered in a layer of grease and metal shavings.

Neither mentioned the mess, preferring to get right on topic.

"Yeah, it seems you get a bit more power in exchange for more limits," Jack said. "Three spells only, no changing, and you have to go through the motions with the cane to cast the spells."

The player opened her inventory and placed her armor on the table, shoving a few blueprints to the side to set the armor down.

"And I bet if you lose the cane, you lose the spells."

"Oh, sh*t," Dylan said. "I didn't even think about that. I better put a tracker on this or something."

"Oh, see if you can equip a teleporter to it!" Jack said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'll have to do something," Dylan said. "Dr. Zlo can't lose the cane."

"Or you could use it as bait," Jack pointed out. "Lose the cane and all your other weapons but bring them all back with a teleporter and surprise everyone."

"Oh, that's evil," Dylan said. "Now I gotta use it."

"And you need a new hat," Jack pointed out.

Dylan ran his hands through Dr. Zlo's pitch black hair, "Yeah. It'll give me a good chance to upgrade my stuff. I needed a new hat bot anyway, plus a few other upgrades now that I don't have my old cane. Dr. Zlo still needs the good old smoke bomb."

"Definitely," Jack answered. "So, you like the power?"

"For sure," Dylan answered. "Probably a better choice than anything else I coulda thought up."

"Cool," Jack answered. "You planning to do anything else tonight?"

Dylan shook his head, "Not tonight."

"Wanna help me design some armor ideas?" Jack asked, wiggling her eyebrows. "I loved the charge attack for the suit, but it needs a few other selections. Preferably something to keep it down."

"Yeah, I'm down," Dylan answered.
