Short Story #4

Two Months Months Before Abyss Union Arc

"Let's go!!!" yelled Flame as he urged everyone into the Alpha Juggernaut.

"But why!?" yelled Genos as he was being pulled by his leg by Frostbite.

"Cause he wants a video game. I want to play it as well, and you do too. You are just lazy," said Frosbite.

"Come on Genos! We will buy you some candy if you go!" said Flame as he started up the Alpha Juggernaut.

"Fine. Where did you get the money from?" asked Genos.

"I... borrowed some from Humatrix while he is on a mission," said Flame.

"Borrowed?" asked Frostbite raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah... borrowed..." repeated Flame. The two stared at each other for a second.

"HURRY UP!!!!" yelled Genos hitting Flame on the head.

"Ouch! Fine, let me set the coordinates, then we go," sad Flame as he typed the name of the place and it's Infiniversal Sector number.

"Blast off!!!" yelled Flame. The Alpha Juggernaut was encased in white light, and then blasted off the land deck and flew of into the Infiniverse at high speeds. They passed universes, multiverses, and everything as they flew at speeds that were nearly instant.

Soon the Alpha Juggernaut arrived near a massive planet that seemed to be covered in futuristic buildings. They flew over a large parking lot filled with many different ships.

"Alright. I think I remember how to park it..." said Flame. The ship slowly descended on an empty spot. Slowly, slowly... and then slammed into the ground. The door opened and the three went out.

"I don't get it. Why can't Frosbite use his celestialsapien power to create the game?" asked Genos.

"It is illegal to create stuff that has the Infiniversal Copyright mark on it. If that didn't exist we wouldn't be paid by the Infiniversal Council to be heroes," said Frostbite.

"Is that why? Overdrive just say he wasn't going to help me since I 'borrowed' that blaster." said Flame.

"So how far is the game store?" asked Genos.

"About a half a kilometer from here," said Flame as the group paid the parking fee and went into the city.

"I can't wait to play the game," said Frostbite.

"Yeah. It is the second one in the series, and is for at least four players, so we should be able to play," said Genos.

"How much does it cost?" asked Frostbite.

"Hmm... don't know. We will see when we get there. And with Humatrix's wallet, we can definitely afford it!" yelled Flame in excitement.

10 Minutes Later...

"No way..." said Frostbite.

"It can't," whispered Genos.

"You have to be kidding me!" yelled Flame as they saw the sing in front of the store. Humatrix's 'borrowed' wallet had 500 Syl, Infiniveral Money. The game was 515 Syl.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" yelled the trio in unison. They had brought no more money. They were 15 Syl away from one of the best games out there.

"What are we going to do?" said Frostbite as the team got up.

"There is nothing we can do... we have lost this battle," said Flame, anime tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go guys," said Genos sadly.

Not even halfway down the street they heard someone talking:

"Did you hear?"

"Heck yeah! The race begins in half an hour! I am putting the old ship back in action! A thousand Syl for the winner!"

"Really? A thousand Syl? Where is the race?"

"The parking lot down the street. You just have to be careful... the race isn't exactly legal."

"Why? It's not like they hurt anyone..."

"Who cares? As long as no one knows about it..."

The trio had already began running down to the parking lot, not hearing the other half of the conversation, only the price.

"Heck yeah! Get the Juggernaut! We are getting that game!" exclaimed Genos

"I'll drive!" said Flame.

"I can already taste the game!" said Frostbite, "Wait... no. It's not taste... then what do you say when you can't wait for..."

"Hurry up Frostbite!" yelled Genos and Flame as they picked up their friend and ran to the parking lot.

They saw a bunch of people of different alien races acting causally when they got there. No doubt the other racers. Flame, Genos, and Frosbite approached one that looked like a green blob.

"Hey sir... do you know about the race?" asked Flame quietly.

"Yes I do. In fact, I am holding it," said the blob, "Name's Squte'l. You fellows looking to join. I do hope so or..."

"We are here to join," said Flame.

"Alright then," said Squte'l as a green screen appeared floating in the air next to a floating pen, "Just sing here. It is to make sure you don't blame us if anything happens to your ride."

"Oh, okay then," said Flame as he signed without reading.

"Flame! Shouldn't you have read it?" asked Frosbite.

"Nah, I'm sure it's fine," said Flame.

"Okay gentlemen, get your ship ready. Race starts in a couple of minutes," said Squte'l.

15 Minutes Later...

A bunch of ships floated above the parking lot. Between many of them was the Alpha Juggernaut, which thanks to Professor Mark's enhancements had shrunk in size to be a smaller ship.

"Alright guys, the 1,000 Syl is ours!" said Flame who was in the driver seat in the front. Behind to him on either side was Genos and Frostbite.

"Yeah! Let's do this!!!" yelled the two in the back.

Around them were many different ships, each with their own enhancements. Ahead of them all appeared Squte'l standing on a floating platform.

"Alrighr everyone knows the rules. First one to get to the other side of the city wins. You are allowed to use any weapons against the other racers. Winner get's a thousand Syl. The losers are the one who get their ship destroyed. If a loser's ship survives, then they must hand it over to me! Also, engines only at 4T Engine Power. None of that light speed stuff."

"WHAT!?" yelled Flame.

"DUDE! Told you to read the contract!" yelled Frostbite.

"Crud! The others are gonna kill us!" exclaimed Genos.

"Come on guys! Put on your game faces! We can win this!" said Flame as he took the steering wheel, "You two handle the weapons!"

"Alright! Genos, get ready!" said Flame.

The counter started, and then when it reached zero all the ships blasted out towards the city. Trails of light were left by the ships. Sounds of laser blasts and gun fire were heard all around. Metal being crushed as ships crashed into building.

"Holy!" yelled Flame as he avoided being rammed into a window. He was flying at high speeds, avoiding obstacles as the other cars chased behind them. Then he felt the ship shake.

"They are shooting at us!" yelled Flame.

"I got it, you keep driving!" yelled Genos. He opened the catch on the roof and stood up. He aimed his hands at the cars behind them.

"Incinerate!" he yelled and a blast of fire shot from his hand. The cars behind them tried dodging, but ended up crashing into each other. Only the more experienced drivers managed to dodge.

"Hurry Flame! Step on it!" yelled Genos as he got bak down. They were gong at high speeds, 450 km/h, and had to dodge buildings. Many ships were crashing, others lost control and crashed into each other.

"Take this!" yelled someone next to them. A saw made of energy came out of their roof and began cutting into their engines.

"Frostbite! Do something!" yelled Flame.

"You got it!" he crossed his arms and in a flash of light he transformed, "Heat Chill!"

He grabbed on to the roof and from his mouth came a blast of cold mist and from his hands streams of blue flames. The saw froze over immediately along with half the ship. Then Heat Chill grabbed the frozen saw and ripped it off the ship. Then used it to smack it away.

"No!" yelled the driver as he was blasted away. Heat Chill turned back to normal and entered back into the Juggernaut.

"Good job Frostbite!" said Flame.

"Dude! They are gaining up on us!" yelled Genos. Behind then dozens of ships raced after them. They were nearing the end of the race.

"Hurry Flame!" yelled Frostbite.

"I can't! We are at max speed!" responded Flame as he tried to dodge lasers and buildings.

"I have an idea!" said Genos, "Come up Frostbite!"

The two opened the hatch and looked outside.

"Listen! We need to use our powers to blast us forward!" yelled Genos due to the wind.

"Okay!" said Frostbite as he crossed his arms once again, "Terrachill!"

Genos grabbed Terrachill from the back and held him, using his feet to magnetize the floor so he wouldn't fly off. Terrachill began to spin, sending a cold whirlwind upon the opponents on the back, freezing them and pushing the Juggernaut forward.

"We are almost there!" yelled Flame. The other side of the city was in view.

"Genos! Frostbite! Use your powers to destroy the rest of the ships!" yelled Flame.

"Alright!" yelled Genos. Terrachill returned to the ship and Genos aimed his hands at the other ships.

"Mega Incinerate!" he yelled and a blast of fire shot causing all the ships behind them to crash into the ground. With no more competition, they reached the finish line.

The Alpha Juggernaut only received a few scratches. They parked the Juggernaut and got out, finding Squte'l waiting for them.

"We won!" yelled Flame.

"Heck yeah!!! The thousand Syl is ours!" said Genos with joy. The trio's celebration was short-lived when Squte'l floated up to them.

"Win!? You destroyed all the other ships!!!" yelled Squte'l, "With other ships here, I lost a lot of money! You get nothing!!! And you must forfeit your ship!!!"

"What!? But... oh crud," said Flame as he looked behind Squte'l. Behind him was a dozen of police ships surrounding them.

"Umm... we were framed?" said Frostbite.

Two Hours Later... In Prison

"Well... this is where we will be spending the rest of our lives at," said Flame. Frostbite kept looking out the window, and Genos played a harmonica.

"There were so many things I wanted to do," said Frostbite.

"I can't believe I'm back in prison," said Genos.

"Wait what?" asked Flame in shock.

"Kidding. Just lightening the mood, considering we will be here for a long time," said Genos.

Suddenly a police officer knocked on their door.

"Alright, you are free to go. This lady here paid your bail," said the officer.

"Lady?" repeated Flame, "What lady?"

"Oh no..." said Frostbite and Genos. Next to the officer was Night Mist, and she did not look too happy.

"Hi guys," she said coldly.

"Night Mist! How you find us?" asked Flame.

"Well, I was on this planet doing some shopping, and guess what!" said Night Mist angrily.

"W-what?" stammered the three boys.

"Turns out the Alpha League is banned to this planet," said Night Mist shaking with anger, "I had to return everything. Pay to get the Juggernaut back, and pay for your bail."

"Forgive us!!!" yelled the trio.

"Come on guys! Into the ship, we are laving back to the base," said Night Mist, dragging the three behind her.

"Save us!!!!!" they yelled, fearing Night Mist's retribution.
