"So when are you going to get Pulau Rintis back?"

Fang dropped the phone in his hand, startled.

Boboiboy's eyes were emotionless. "You people used my training grounds for a football match, turned the beach into a warzone, the house is like an afterparty every day, and no offense, but my beachside bar is now a substitute for Kokotiam – and yet still no progress of retrieving that island."

Fang was speechless. He knew that the residents were getting in over their head and used Boboiboy's property as their personal needs, but he didn't think they would go overboard to the point where Boboiboy would complain about it.

"He – he's powerful okay?" Fang argued. "The last time it took everyone, and you – Solar to defeat him."

"Tarung was bested because his mascot fell down. Not the best way to go out, to be frank. Kaizo wasn't on board because he was busy fighting pirates. Gopal spent half his time sleeping." Boboiboy rolled his eyes. "And for the fact that Sai and Shielda did next to nothing, I would consider Vargoba to be lucky the last time. And now you're going through my phone?"

Fang had no answer.

Boboiboy sighed internally. He knew the heroes that Ochobot had raised were incompetent, but he didn't expect it to be this extent. Heck, Ochobot had trained him once before for the LOLs. He didn't want to fight another battle he knew that could go in vain among a war. He should have ended Vargoba last time. It could have easily passed off as an accident, but Ochobot stopped him before he could do fatal damage.

He kicked the sand. It was mixed in with beer. Whatever the residents of Pulau Rintis did, they sure took advantage of their disability. There goes another 1879's finest wine wasted in dirt. With a fluid motion, he unplugged the charger and took his phone from Fang.

Then that's when they saw it.

Floating ships in the sky.

Vargoba's pirate crew.

Fang shot up. "He's here! Why is he here?"

Boboiboy squinted his eyes. Vargoba just had to attack now.

"Fang, get everyone inside. This is going to be messy," Boboiboy instructed. He pocketed his phone but ditched the charger. He could always buy a new one. "And the rest of you, do whatever."

Fang frowned. "Do whatever?"

Boboiboy ignored him. He ran towards the dock with his watch springing to life. He jumped, and at the last minute, he turned into Boboiboy Hurricane, a dark blue hoverboard appearing beneath his feet. The wind he caused sent Fang flying, and he nearly crashed into a tree if it wasn't for him using his powers to ground him in the nick of time.

Hurricane had also ditched his cap, his hair wild in the wind. He was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved hoodie with metal elbow and knee protectors. He wore dark grey shorts and retractable-wheel skaters. He rocked the classic skater's outfit, and his power was insane. Hurricane was the evolution of Cyclone, so he's more of a rebellious streak and sense of freedom.

The tornado symbol had changed into an arrow-like burst of wind. It was now sky blue, embedded on his right chest.

He rode his hoverboard like a pro. Professionals would cry in jealousy of his display. He rode the winds like nobody's business. When he was within a stone's throw to the fleet of ships, he turned a sharp left with his hoverboard facing sideways, but he was still in control. The winds summoned were enough to push the ships back and send them flying.

He didn't stop there, though. His watch sprung to life, transforming him into the most combat-ready element he had, and assaulted each ship with a two-second time limit. Storm emerged from the ships, and each ship exploded simultaneously, painting the night sky bright orange and grey.

Storm landed on the dock. His grey eyes scanned the beach, and only four figures remained on the sandy grounds. Yaya, Ying, Gopal and Fang. They all stared at him with a fascinated horror.

"Are you done gawking?" he snapped, plunging his grey blade into the sand.

The electrons behind him turned unstable. Faster than any human eye could catch, he turned around and intercepted the missile with his sword. The largest ship they had seen flew proudly, emerging from the sea of explosions, with a burly red man standing by the hull.

Captain Vargoba himself.

"I know you're here, Boboiboy!" Vargoba's voice boomed. "Surrender yourself or be destroyed!"

"Tempting," he called.

"WHAT?"

Storm was about to teleport to the ship and take the guy down, but a hand stopped him. The electricity cackling around him halted.

"What?" Storm grouched. "Leave me alone."

Yaya let go. "You don't have to fight this alone."

He glared. "The day I die to this guy is the day your biscuits are edible."

Vargoba and his crew were shocked when Storm appeared on deck. A few tried to apprehend him, but all they saw was a flash of grey and their men were on the ground, twitching from the electricity.

They all aimed their weapons at him warily but didn't dare approach him. Like I said, the look on Storm's face is so deadly it could kill an untrained eye. You could literally die of shock when you look into his eyes.

"Ah, Boboiboy." Vargoba's eyes twinkled with vile amusement. "You have come!"

"What is it you want, Vargoba." Storm fingered his blade. "If you're here because of TAPOPS, I'll happily step aside and let you kill them."

Vargoba raised an eyebrow. "You're not defending them?"

"Old man, they wrecked my self-esteem for years. Why the hell am I stopping you?" He glowered. "State your business."

Storm was aware that Vargoba had all the power spheres from TEMPUR-A in his possession. If he were to bust out some power-nullification or any manipulation type spheres like Invisibot, Storm was in serious trouble. He was powerful, but if he combined the right types of power spheres, he would be next to useless. Invisibot can create invisible stuff and knock his attacks. Loopbot can reverse his movements no matter what.

The grip on his sword tightened. Vargoba's pathetic smirk widened.

Magnebot... it had nothing on Storm. Metal, the evolution of Quake could counter its effects easily. Storm can overheat metals and destroy them with electricity. But would revealing all of his powers be wise? Even if it's to defeat Vargoba? He has a very short list on TAPOPS's cadet information and he prefers to keep it that way.

Unexpectedly, Vargoba laughed. (Let's get real. All of us expected that. No? Oh. Okay... nevermind!)

"I do not seek vengeance upon you, Boboiboy," Vargoba chuckled dryly. "I have come to gift you an offer."

Storm was tempted to laugh. He didn't. "If it comes with being your lackey, consider it down the sea because that's where I'll be sending you."

"Ha! No." Vargoba crossed all four of his arms. "My offer is for you to join me. Not as a servant, but my partner. I have seen your display of power. Join me, and we can rule the universe together!"

Storm snorted. He covered his mouth, but then realized Vargoba was serious. "Wait... oh. You're not joking. Say what? Why me?"

Why not him? He destroyed a dozen of ships under a minute. Organizations will bankrupt themselves to get him on their sides. Villains would kill themselves for him to help them. Now one of the most villainous villains just offered him a job as his partner.

In the past, Storm would have just said no and flip the ship like a table. But he's had his share of hero life. Heroes were stereotyped to be selfless in every condition. A villain could be selfish and could admit it without shame. Because what you gonna do about it? A villain can ram your door through and raid your fridge and not give a damn. If you try to fight back, they're gonna kill you. And trust anyone who had experience in this line of work – it does not end pretty no matter how you do it.

A TAPOPS ship flew ahead them.

"This offer still stands!" Vargoba laughed. "My ship will always be open to you, Boboiboy!"

Without warning, Vargoba had used one of the power spheres to teleport Storm back to the beach to where he came from, and his ship disappeared into the horizon, having regained Stealthbot in his clutches once more.

Storm couldn't breathe. He was being offered to being an actual villain. A whimper came from the next him. He turned, and he saw his former friends, along with Captain Kaizo and Admiral Tarung.

* * *

"Talk!"

The admiral slammed his fist onto the metal interrogation table. The table broke under his strength. He splintered iron.

Boboiboy glanced at the broken table on the floor and raised his eyes towards the red-skinned admiral. "Unless you want to know how bad my day's been going, we have a very limited topic to discuss."

"What connections do you have with Vargoba, boy?" Tarung roared. "Did you assist him to attack TEMPUR-A!"

The admiral's face was burning with fury, but Boboiboy remained calm, bored, and indefinitely annoyed. He was being brought here because Vargoba didn't attack him and he didn't attack Vargoba. Seriously, how paranoid can these peeps get?

In response, he pulled a deadpan Leaf. For any example, please consult the episode in Boboiboy Galaxy where they had reunited with Fang and his mushroom hat. "Considering Vargoba defeated you because of a stupid zipper, my answers won't be able to process in your underdeveloped brain."

The admiral was practically breathing fire in his face. Boboiboy yawned and fumbled with the cuffs behind his back, tied to a chair so it prevented him from escaping. Or so they thought. He could leave this place with or without his powers. For the record, they didn't remove his watch. Best they could do was have Ochobot place a limiter, which was ineffective with this watch.

The watch on his hand had been created by him solely. It was completely immune from limiters from other power spheres. He was just playing along for the laughs.

"Look, I get that you people are desperate for answers." Boboiboy sighed, ignoring the fact that Tarung is screaming bloody murder in his face. He stared straight up at him. "But I have nothing to do with him. I just came across him because he was trying to destroy my villa."

Veins popped up on Tarung's forehead. "YOU THINK YOU'RE SO TOUGH? WE'LL SEE WHO'S TOUGH!"

With all his power, he grabbed onto the backrest of Boboiboy's chair and flung him across the room. The impact nearly knocked the wind out of Boboiboy, but otherwise, he was still fine. The metal walls sported a new crater.

The chair fell sideways. Boboiboy groaned. Is it bleeding? Doesn't feel like it. It's just throbbing.

His back felt warm and sticky. Well fuck, he's bleeding. Well there goes that shirt. It was his favourite work out shirt, too.

The door opened. Through his swimming vision, he could see a tiny green figure rush in. "Admiral! That's enough! You're interrogating the prisoner, not killing them!"

"Bah! If he can't take that hit, then he's weak!"

Boboiboy's vision cleared. The watch on his hand sprung to life. Without them knowing, he shattered the cuffs behind his seat.

"You... just called me weak?" Boboiboy tested.

"Fool! You have such great potential, but you use it for evil!"

Boboiboy gritted his teeth. Evil or no, he hated being called weak. As his watch landed on a symbol that was silver and looked like a gold ingot, he started to change form. His eyes turned the colour of bronze. His clothes were now a black shirt and jeans. His belt was loose and spiked with gold spikes. His boots were studded with bronze.

His arms had gold brass knuckles on them, as if he looked like a gangster. His hat disappeared. The gold ingot symbol was embedded on his left ear like an earring.

He was a completely different version of Quake and Earth. Metal is no longer the leader, the mother than everyone turns to. He is a rebellious teenager who's hard-headed and causes trouble wherever he goes. The champion at being extremely stubborn no matter what.

"Hey, fucker!" he called, grinning wildly at their gawking expressions. "Let's see who's the weak motherfucker here, bitches!"

* * * *

Oof so now we have Hurricane and Metal!

So now we have:

1. Storm - Edgier, Angrier and more battle analyzing. Savage AF.

2. Inferno - Screaming ball of anger x 10000 times. Call him weak and he'll destroy your planet.

3. Hurricane - Can't-Touch-This. Happiest person on the planet. Can be happy about anything, including a dying person.

4. Metal - Either he fucks you up or kills you. No mercy. Bad boy.
