//------------------------------// // ACT 3 PART 5 // Story: The Great Fandom Man! // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// Mayor Popeye stood on his stage, the news in his hands since TV networks were down. "...All ham is 30% off at Hans Mart, but 50% off at Duck Hunt with every purchase of ham, you get one free item." "Are you serious?!" Hans cried out in the crowd. "Now onto alignments. hehe..." Mayor Popeye let out some muffled chuckles. "Some guy calling himself the Great Fandom Man is calling himself the hero type! Aint that adorable?" He flipped a page, his face going pale. "Samurai Jack has turned dark and is on a rampage. Hide your magical artifacts because he has "the Jackie Chan Adventures" Teslis... somethings. Look out for him." I ran up to the stage and bowed, this was Equestria after all. "Don't worry, I will stop Jack." Popeye glared down at me, "Kid, this no time for jokes." (Present) Crap. I actually looked up to Popeye for guidance! Just as Shredder noticed a shift of air flow, I returned to normal from my Great Ape form and through the first punch. It was ineffective because it was my left hand, my ultimatrix activated its weapon systems as my right hand began to glow. "Falcon Punch!" He barely staggered, swinging more blades out of his arms as he began to shoot them at me. With the speed given by the secondary red color of my armor I dodged and tossed his knives. He then charged at me as I attempted another Falcon Punch, nobody moving without creating a shock wave. I backed up as he tried to stab me and summoned me Keyblade. "Foreteller Unicornis! Give me strength!" I swung my left hand as an object appeared in it. Its hard for me to describe, but basically it looks like a mostly white keyblade with a unicorn head near the handle and the shape of sparks as the blade... The website Cortana pulled has it described as a Keyblade that is white with an ice motif. It was a cool and elegant design, made to survive the worst attacks and had a sleek design with a magic boost. I quickly summon my Green Lantern ring and Cortana's Star Sapphire ring, glowing with power. Using my ring, I tied the ninja sash from the Starfire race around my waist. "Ninja sash." I lunged at Shredder, letting him stab me. Instead of hitting his mark, he got a taste of a Green Lantern Falcon Kick to his back and two keyblades at his head. He turned in time to see both me begin to circle him, one with Keyblades (Oscar) and the other (Conners) with the sword of the storm with the eye of dashi. Conners tossed a whirl wind attack, giving Oscar a quick chance to trip the unmoving Shredder... it failed really bad as Shredder tossed some knives and followed up with a crescent kick and tossing Oscar into Conners. Two flashes of light and he was met by Conner's Red Ranger Humungosaur and Oscar's Skurd giving Conners taydenite boxing gloves. In sync we shouted, "Come at us, bro! I actually know how to team up with myself!" "I didn't know you swung that way." Shredder said in an high pitch voice. A familiar high pitched voice. "I did not kill the Shredder just to see some kid try to hurt me. Go home and stay in your closet before mama finds out." Oscar glared at him as Conners shouted, "No! You are not a displaced Betty!" "I have a claw rope and your music protects me. I prefer Master Pain and do you want me to summon the council?" he asked, getting in a simple battle stance that made him look like a statue. "No thanks, I don't like french operas," we replied, getting in an angered battle stance. "I rather keep my old American sanity." "Rainbow lover, huh. I might see if I can return to Earth with your gay skull." The two mes looked to each other, "What? Are you insulting me or just dumb?" "NYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" He rushed and tacked us off the flying platform into the flood infested crowd. Conners became a saiyan as Oscar gave him Thangarian wings for effect. We sent the three of us into the sky, quickly batting him around. He took out his claw rope and swung it into Conner's chest, near Oscar's slime body on the ultimatrix. He landed back on the platform and pulled at us while tossiing the other end, ripping into our skin. Oscar shouted, "Ninja sash!" As he selected another form. Falling towards the platform, DJ Echo Echo landed. "Ultimate Level One." I commanded, shifting in my taller blue form with the DJ PON3 additions. Shredder Pain laughed his dumb laugh, "Music is my power boost, buffoon!" "Same here." I droned. I tossed some more speakers as I began to punch him with both sound and fists. He tossed his knives at me as I obliterated them with a hand speaker. I ran up, rapidly kicking him and hopping off speakers to drop a wub boosted Falcon Punch. I somehow still had access to my green lantern ring as my chest glowed, giving transparent armor that fired rockets at Shredder. "Big mistake, kid!" He broke my armor with one punch before slashing me without mercy, sparks coming out of my body. "You will die with your gay morals!" I tossed some speakers, "Wall of Sound! Wall of Doom!" I tossed so many more that my two attacks hit him with a sudden push and ear shattering screech. "Listen to your voice. I'm the only straight one of the two of us. Stop that talk and focus." "He's focused enough, look out!" Cortana warned as many red dots filled my radar. I turned back to see those flood-infected displaced attack me from the ground and air, using guns. Those who could jump up here or swoop down to attack did. I had to block fists and dodge gun fire and blades. I even took a grenade to the face in an attempt to dodge some fireballs. "Return to normal and aim your cure cannon." "Cure cannon?" I asked, shifting into my Tamaranean form ad firing lasers from the sky. "I think you know what I mean. There's no official name for it." There was some talking silence, but the sounds of battle was unavoidable... especially since bodies were now projectiles in this fight. "Cured the DNAliens in Ben 10: Alien Force...?" "We have that?! Let's do this!" I flew over to a nearly empty area, using my powers to charge my ultimatrix before returning to normal. "100%... It actually worked. You may fire when ready and pull power from the rings." Shredder pulled his invisibility cloak off and held me by my neck. "I have an empire. What do you have?!" I looked past his head, seeing a pasted out minotaur the flood avoided. "Umm... I think I have a Hulk." I began tossing some ball pit balls at him, missing each time. "What are you doing?" Shredder asked, not looking at Brute Banner. "Your defeat is upon you, just continue tightening your grip until you actually choke me." I casually said, tossing a few more colorful balls at him faster. "Enjoy your- there you go. I can feel it..." I used my ring to drop the whole assimilated ball pit stash on him. Brute woke up, sticking his head out of the puddle of colors. "Well, looks like he's in trouble," he mumbled. He got up and walked over to us, tapping Shredder's shoulder, who barely acknowledged him. "Yeah, can you put him down before I get angry? Pretty please with Sombra's defeat behind me on top?" "What?!?" He turned back to see Spike fall to his doom and Shining Armor chunk his wife at Spike. The two soared high in the sky, the crystal heart in Spike's grasp being taken to its rightful spot. "Quick! Charge the canon!" "Now?!" I replied, not seeing a scratch on Shredder, an army of flood catching up to me, and Brute Banner looking calm. Looking at my status, most of my body was damaged so bad only my head was the only unharmed part of me... sooo my chances of defeating him is slim. I charged the energy in my ultimatrix. "Alright, when the crystal heart spreads it's energy across the land we should be able to cure the displaced civilians and other possible foes." "Will it defeat the Shredder?" "Nope. You're screwed there, but you should get some back up." Shredder dropped me and ran towards the hills just as Sombra was blown up. My DNA-curing laser combined with the crystal heart's magic cured the all of the displaced and repaired my armor. "Deus Ex Machina. A crappy way to end a chapter of a story." "I'm not complaining," I replied on the ground. I looked over to see the resurrected Mayor Popeye gain the credit for saving everyone... so yeah, I'm going to lay down for awhile...
