Ugh! Gameset exclaimed, dropping the robotic arm. That is so gross.
Her comment got her a kick in the back and a face full of street. Gustaf laughed as he made the attack, his voice a mechanical buzz as he avoided another strike from Firestarter.
Is this all that amounts to heroes these days? the villain asked. I had thought you had a bit more power.
I just need to get amped up, dude, Firestarter said. Hey, princess, copy me.
Must you use such a nickname? Mirror Mirror complained. Nevertheless, she transformed.
Two Firestarters now stood before Gustaf. They lunged, fire burning from their hands. Gustaf stepped back with a mocking laugh before blasting them with a laser. Oh sh*t! Firestarter exclaimed. He ducked, Mirror Mirror matching the movement as the laser flew overhead.
Firestarter kicked out, fire scorching his boot to hit Gustaf in the leg, Mirror Mirror aiming for the other. The villain continued to step back, keeping just out of range of the strikes.
Gustaf yawned, placing his one working hand over his mouth. Such a letdown.
Dont worry, we arent done yet, Gameset said.
The heroine flew forward with a dropkick aimed right at the villains chest. Gustaf caught the blow with his working hand, grunting with exertion. Gameset let her momentum fall and dropped to the ground. Before she landed her body twisted, changing the momentum into a spinning kick at Gustafs feet. The villain jumped above the strike, which put him in the perfect position for Firestarter.
Shoryukan! the hero shouted as his flaming fist connected in an uppercut. Mirror Mirrors connected at the same time, the two heroes leaving scorch marks on the Gustafs face.
Gustaf landed on the ground with a thud. Gameset stood, brushing a bit of street off her clothes before moving toward Gustaf. Of a Kind ran forward the meet everyone, assuming that the battle was over.
Surrender, Gameset said to the downed villain.
Gustaf laughed, the mechanical buzzing halting in a cough. You think youve beaten me? No, weve barely begun!
Gustafs pulled his legs up so his feet stood flat to the ground. Then the villain pulled himself upward, legs first. Gustafs back bent at an impossible angle, and his one arm flopped to the ground. Then his body curled into an upright position, a horrendus smile on his face.
The villain spun. You again? he growled in surprise. How many times must I beat you for you to learn your lesson?
You are not my teacher! Approximo shouted. But I have others who are, and they taught me something recently.
Oh? Dr. Zlo cackled, aiming the shrink ray. Whats that?
The hero focused, working hard to get his power to choose what he wanted. He flew upward as Dr. Zlos shrink ray fired, barely missing as the hero maneuvered above the villain.
What, do you think that being above me will let you win? Dr. Zlo aimed the shrink ray and fired again.
Dylan dodged, twisting his shirt torso around the beam before focusing on his power. It took a moment for the players power interface but it eventually understood what was asked of it.
The hero smiled. I am going to, as Star says, bring the house down!
Approximos shrunken limbs ballooned, expanding into four sturdy brick walls. His torso filled out, becoming various rooms while his head flattened to become a roof. Soon, a copy of one of the plazas houses hovered above Dr. Zlo.
What? Dr. Zlo shouted.
Without rockets to keep him in the air, Approximo plummeted. The entirety of a house fell, aimed straight at Dr. Zlo.
Impossible! the villain shouted.
Panicked, Dr. Zlo rocketed out of the way, but wasnt fast enough. One of his rocket boots clipped the edge of the house as it fell, crushing the rocket and sending Dr. Zlo spiraling to the ground. Approximo shifted back to himself, only to realize that his momentum had not changed.
Oh, thats not good, the hero said as he slammed into the ground.
Approximo grunted as his health took a nosedive, but it wasnt quite enough to put him out of the fight. The hero stood, shaking off the debris as he looked for Dr. Zlo.
