//------------------------------// // ACT 3.5 PART 3: Fandom Man and Eevee Mon vs King Triton and Aquaman. // Story: The Great Fandom Man! // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// To put it bluntly, I was caught off guard when a wall made of space separated me from my female counterpart. In all honesty, I want to see if our fighting style was different or similar... or the same. I mean, she punched a guy on the beach into an umbrella that comically closed on the poor guy. Why? No clue. In fact, I think I stopped caring when Eevee Mon saved me from falling into a bottomless pit. An image of several planets running into each other in a crumbling, fiery mess of rock filled our vision as our arena was forming. The water from the planets created a bubble and some stars made a sign that read "DEAD ZONE. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS BEFORE YOU FALL IN A COMA-LIKE STATE AND LOSE." Above... or below... right side? Gravity is messed up, but the matter was that the orb of tsunami formed a frozen line that split the standing space in half, one red and one blue. "Huh... I actually look good in red." I looked up to see Eevee Mon in red ninja-like light armor... which has some spots on his limbs that were either based on changelings or crocs. I hope its not crocks. "Oh sweet Poseidon! What is the meaning of this?!" I looked over to Aquaman and King Triton in blue armor of they're styles. Triton's armor reminded me of Shovel Knight without the helmet for some reason. "What is happening? What am I wearing?! Oh gods, are those croc leggings?!" The last on was directed towards Eevee Mon, who rolled his eyes. I wore my usual armor, but the ultimatrix was the only window to show what power I'm using. The lights on me were replaced with red foam and metal. Alien X's hologram appeared on my ultimatrix, his double Italian voice informing, "To make things even, there will be no transformations in this fight. Good luck." It disappeared while I shrugged. Aquaman got in a Shia Labouf poise, "Let's DO IT!!" before leaping off his rock into the field. "Oh, be careful!" I warned in mock worry with my hand over my forehead and the other making a gun sign, "He'll shoot yer eye out!" I pushed myself off my rock as I took out a giant red scissor blade from my inventory. Aquaman summoned his own trident to block my attack, swinging it around so I would block. What he didn't expect was the plasma pistol charging in my other hand. "I friggin' told you!" He backed up as my laser missed and returned with a school of fish. It would've been easy, if it didn't block my view of King Triton's fist. The two sea kings began throwing rapid punches and kicks to me. Luckily, Eevee Mon backed me up... Luckily, Eevee Mon backed me up... LUCKILY, EEVEE MON BACKED ME UP...! I gave a brief glance as a squid kept my partner out of the ring, numbers above his head showing his time out being a yellow 6 to a red 7. "This is a challenge?" King Triton commented, chuckling. Rage filled me as I saw that red 8... Eevee Mon's first Xiaolin Showdown will not end before it begins! I caught their tridents, my fists glowing blue as I electrocuted them as followed up with a Falcon Punch to Triton. I tossed my arms to the side as I activated my duel disk and placed a card in place to summon my saiyan form. He nodded to me as he flew over and pulled the squid back into the arena, which tossed Eevee Mon, but not without resetting his out clock. "Master, I can't go any further!" Saiyan me stated. I stuck my finger out of the bubble, allowing him to summon range, but restricting Squid Kirby's attack range as he distracted the two with his longer arms. "Master, I can't make it!" I summoned Fandomcord, his card and body glowing as he updated his look. "Check it out! Two antlers, a unicorn horn, wolf claws, bigger bat wings, and kangaroo legs with a pouch to hide my rattling snake tail!" Before I can give a command, his bear-like face gave a grin, showing his fangs as he shouted, "Shia Labeouf, your on!" Saiyan me screamed, "It's impossible! He's at a five and I can't keep up!" Golden Shia Labeouf appeared out of nowhere, his long pony tail swaying in his aura. "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!" "Screw it! I am not going the Shia route the third time!" I charged up my fist as my armor turned grey and my ultimatrix light glowed a bright green behind the blazing red that charged to a raging blue. "Wind! Power! Falco Punch!" In a short light speed shift in position, I caught up to Eevee Mon, grabbing my saiyan form who had the digi-pokemon in his grasp. I repeated the punch, a mighty ripple shook the field. As soon as Eevee Mon was back to full attention, he lit his paws on fire and used his rapid decent's power to increase the power of his punch... but King Triton caught it. When he didn't expect was a fish fry. "Holy Neptune!!! AHHHHHH!" While he grasped his hand, Eevee Mon used what psychic powers he had to make Triton punch himself with his burnt hand before almost getting knocked out by Aquaman. "Fandomcord, do it!" I commanded, discarding Kirby and saiyan me as Fandomcord flopped around in Aquaman's face, seemingly immune to his stabbing. "He's in my eyes!" Aquaman shouted. Triton freed himself from Eevee Mon's grasp, using his trident to freeze Eevee Mon and feed him to the Kraken before riding the beast while swinging an anchor towards me, knocking me back and having Fandomcord's card fly off, but not too far to catch. "Crap!" I shouted as Fandomcord disappeared, returning to his dull, charging card. I tried to find Q, but he would change his card to something different in each grab. "Speed! Water!" "You gave up the water element Oscar! Try again." "But I made a rule-" "That came with a loophole. I'll grant speed, but you need something else." I found myself inside a whale for some reason, but I'm Fandom Man. I don't play this- "EEVEE MON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!" Alien X boomed. "Electric!" My body turned yellow and I checked, my ultimatrix was already glowing red. I placed my hands on the whale, frying it from the inside-out before breaking through its spasming form and using my finger as a gun, firing electric bolts at Triton in seemingly slow motion... while nearly losing my arm to Aquaman. He swung again, "Wind!" ...The attack went through me without any damage. "OK, now you're just cheating." "Rock. Strength. Falcon Punch!" I slammed my feet to the nearest- airborne? waterborne? -rock, absorbing it until I was covered in a layer of rock as I punched Aquaman out of the arena. I was about to tail him and make sure he doesn't return, but King Triton slammed his body into me... not expecting to be immobile in a stone prison and floating to the border of our battle field. "FOS RO DAH!!!" I may have overdone myself there, firing him like a bullet far away. "KING TRITON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. SUDDEN DEATH! GO!" Aquaman swam at me, summoning so many sharks and dolphins... worthy of a buffet. "Fire! Power! Flamethrower!" "Don't give in! Give him all you've got!" Aquaman shouted on a hammerhead shark as he pointed his and Triton's tridents at me, creating rainbow electricity that arced between the long forks.
