Chapter 655: VV4, 49 - Off to Off a God

VV4, 49 - Off to Off a God

It really acted out a scene while you watched? Jack asked incredulously.

Oh yeah, Dylan said. Weirdest one Ive seen of these.

Wow, Jack said. Thats crazy. I should have stuck around.

Only got twenty bombs though, Dylan said. Which is more than I expected but the cost is still high. I might actually start having to care about money again if I keep using these.

Twenty is still a lot, Jack said. I doubt youd use more than two or three at a time, yeah?

Probably depends on the power, Dylan said. Anyway, are we ready to go after this Apollo guy and test out my new equipment?

For sure, Jack said. Hodge Podge here is raring to go.

Just give the word, the mechanical monster said.

Then Ill go get the others, Dylan said. Something tells me well need all hands on deck for this nonsense.

But what great nonsense, Jack said. Which reminds me, you think not getting a quest for this was a bug or something else?

Gotta be a bug, right? Dylan asked. That or the game isnt about to ask villains to clean up after their messes.

True, Jack said.

The two friends made their way back to the ZLomobile, collecting Dr. Zlos minions along the way. Cass, Mabel, and Quartet all fell in behind the scheming villain with a gaggle of Jacques in tow. Ms. Tama walked beside Dr. Zlo, her creation hanging back to bother Cass.

You must let me take a look at the inside of that arm, Hodge Podge said.

No, Cass said.

I insist, the minion said. The connections between your arm and shoulder could hold vital information for the wellbeing of mechanical constructs everywhere.

Boss, tell him no! Cass said.

Hodge Podge, Dr. Zlo said coolly. If you attempt a dissection on any of my minions I shall consider you an enemy and eliminate you with extreme prejudice.

Oh, how charming, Ms. Tama said. Did you hear that Hodge? All alone with Dr. Zlo as he works his many machinations all over you.

Dylan turned to Jack, who gave him a wink.

Im only saying that understanding his framework is for the good of all machinekind, Hodge Podge argued.

You could examine my framework anyday, hon, Mabel said, sidling up to the minion. Cass gratefully hurried away next to Dr. Zlos side.

Dr. Zlo looked up at the statues. You dare to try and block my path? Ill have you know I am Dr. Zlo! Criminal mastermind and the greatest genius in the world! Your employer, creator, or whatever you call him has slighted me, and I have come for retribution! Now, remove yourself from my presence or face the consequences!

The statues brandished their spears.

Dr. Zlo pursed his lips. Very well. Consequences it is! Cass!

Yeah, boss? the butler asked.

Deal with these two for me, Dr. Zlo said casually.

Cass looked up the statues and gulped. Are you sure, boss?

Cass, I gave you an order, Dr. Zlo said.

I know boss, Cass said hastily. But look at them! Theyre huge!

Dr. Zlo stamped a foot. Cass, you will show them who the superior minion is now or I swear to me that you will regret it!

Before Cass could retort. Quartet stepped forward. He looked over to Cass with a sneer. Dont worry, boss. I got this.

The villainous minion split into his four forms, the barbershop quartet walking forward with confidence. This was Quartets chance! If he proved himself better than Cass, then Dr. Zlo would promote him to right hand man! From there it was only a matter of time before he supplanted the oh so great Dr. Zlo!

Stone grated against itself as the statues moved to point their spears at Quartet. The minion scoffed and started to hum, bringing together a rumbling harmony that soon spread toward the spear. The stone weapon vibrated only slightly at first, but when the statue moved to thrust it forward it shook violently. Before the weapon could even reach Quartet it shattered, scattering its pieces across the floor.

Simple, Quartet hummed. He belted out a harmony toward the statues, his voice rebounding and amplifying due to the acoustics around him. It seemed like something in the sanctum itself was enhancing the minions powers. The statue fell to pieces under the assault, their stoic faces cracking and splitting apart.

Dr. Zlo raised an eyebrow, impressed. Keep that up, Quartet, and I might just have to change my opinion of you.

The minion pumped a fist at the meager praise. One step closer to taking over Dr. Zlos dynasty.

The villains continued their way into the building, more nymphs appearing as they walked. None of them attacked, though all looked at the incoming group with suspicion. Dr. Zlo gave anyone who stared too long pointed glares.

Eventually, they arrived in a lounge of some kind. Pillows of all colors and sizes were scattered across the floor, various nymphs lying on them with various instruments, drinks, or foods. At the center of it all lay Apollo, the god shirtless and surrounded by three nymphs catering to his whims.

Hon, you didnt tell me Apollo was such a hunk, Mabel said.

His attractiveness matters not, Mabel, Dr. Zlo said.

Speak for yourself. Mabel gave Apollo a coquettish wink.

He returned it.

Welcome to my sanctum! the god said, holding his hands out wide.
