Chapter 5: Factory Fights: The Rescuing

Nate was heading to the Industrial area when his radio buzzed again. He takes it out and answers it."Yo, Poison, what's up?" "Hey Nate, I managed to get all of the guys back to City hall without a problem, Jess was really happy she got to see her dad again, Anyhow, The guys are going to head out and meet up with you after Jess tells your story to them. But even better news, the guys told us where the girls are being held." "All right! Poison you are awesome! So where are they?" "There at the same place your going, The Industrial area. But Nate, you better hurry, I fear that the gang would try to get rid of them like the boys. Look for a factory that has some Mad Gear members hanging around on the outside." Poison said, concerned. "Got it, I'm on my way!" He puts away the radio and rushes off to the rescue, passing by abandoned buildings. He eventually reached a big factory and quickly crouched down behind a car, peeking out as well. He saw 8 thugs guarding the factory. He smirks as found the place he was looking for and activates the Omnitrix, spinning the dial and slamming it down.

The car went flying off from the green light and crashed behind the thugs. The thugs looked back at the smoke and from it emerged Frankenstrike. "It's Hero Time!" He shouted out. His conductors then started to emit green electricity and fire a green electric beam at them, shocking the thugs with tons of volts, deleting them as well. "Huh, Just one blast? That's a bit of a disappointment." He then heads to the factory, stopping and looking up at the big building, and scratched a finger on top of his head. "Now, I just need to figure out a way into the factory."

He then saw an garage door on his right, but, it was closed shut. He cracks his knuckles and grabbed hold of the bottom and started to lefts it up with his strength. He pries it open and enters into the factory. He looks around to see a hallway and walks through it. He then suddenly stop at the end to see Rolento walking up a flight of stairs leading to a metal platform. Nate blinks in surprise as Rolento briefly turns and looks at him, smirking as well. Nate glares in anger as the military member rush up with the Transylin following after him.

"Hey! Get back... here!?" Frankenstrike said in shock at what he is seeing. He is standing on a chain link like platform that extends long with pillars of fire blasting from under neath in rows every now and then. Looking down and through the tiny holes, Frankenstrike realized that the platform is under a pool of molten lava with fire bursting up. "Okay, Who in there right minds would build a walkway under a pool of lava in a public factory!?" Frankenstrike questions out loud, wondering what insane person came up with this design idea for a place. He then decide to move forward, timing the flames to move without getting hurt. Just as he got past a section of insane flames by hopping over them, a group of 10 thugs starts charging at him.

"Well... Guess it's time to start punching things!" Frankenstrike said as he charges at them. CRASH Frankenstrike smashed the group to the sides, sending them flying into the lava pool and got deleted as they scream in agony. Frankenstrike looks over with an uneasy expression. "Yeassh... That image is gonna haunt my brain for a awhile." He then continues on, eventuality reaching the end of the hot and dangerous walkway just as he timed out.

"Well now that hazard is done, It should be a lot easier now!" But Just as Nate stopped, he looks left and right to see hallways down the sides as well as a corridor in front of him. "Thank you, Universe. I totally wanted this to be as hard as possible." Nate Deadpans as he slouches forward, realizing he is stuck in a maze. Just then... "Hey, did you hear something?" "I think it came from over here!" Nate freaks out at hearing some thugs that were heading this way and his watch is still recharging. Looking around, he smiles in relief at seeing a janitor closet nearby. He quickly rushed inside and closed the door, while crouching down to hide.

"I was sure the noise came from here?" "Forget it,man! You must've herd a rat or something." "Yay, you got a point. Hey, maybe it was that monster kid. You know, the one that took out the others?" "I know who he is, stupid! What i want to know is how does some snot noised brat turns into those monsters at all?" "It's a mystery man. Hey, speaking of mystery, How come we not checking out the prisoners? I mean, sure one of them is the 'strongest woman in the world' and another is a cat-woman and they can break our spines if they get free. But man! Check out those hot bods of theirs!" "Okay, I admit, I want to play around with them too and feel them as well. But the Big Boss said to get rid of them because they are a threat to his 'Operation' as he puts it." "Okay,okay. So, what does he has in mind for them?" "Well, let's just say, there about to get an 'explosive show' soon!"

The Thugs then want away as evidenced by there footsteps while Nate commits to his self. " 'Prisoners'? 'Explosive show'? 'Big Boss'?! That definitely doesn't sound good! Which means i got to find the girls quick and take down Rolento as well!" BEEP Nate looks down at his now-recharged Omnitrix and smiles as he activates it. "Funny, I was thinking the same thing as well!" Nate Slammed down on the dial and emits a Green flash of light, dying down to reveal Ghostfreak in his place. "Aw,Man! I mean... Yeah! Ghostfreak to the rescue!" The Ectonurite fist pumped himself, despite wanting XLR8 instead.

He then phased out of the door and into the hallway and then turns himself invisible to avoid dedication. "Well, then. Here i go!"

Crystal had just finished reading her instruction booklet and sets it back into her game case while taking to herself. "Okay, now that i read the direction on a game based on my bro's, I can lend him a hand anytime i want-" Just then she herd a start up sound belonging to a certain 1980 maze game. Looking at the game screen she face palms and moans out. "Really Nate? Really? You included this into your game?" Crystal deadpans as she watches her bro go through an overhead camera style maze in dismay.

"Well, it was a bit weird going through that maze for some reason, but i managed to get through it." Nate said after he timed out a few minutes ago, but was lucky enough to not attract attention to himself. "Now to figure out where to go to next?" His question is answered when noticed at door in front of him. He then walks towards it and open. He then noticed that he is in an elevator that leads to a unfinished part of the factory. "Guess there's nowhere to go but up." Seeing a control pad with 2 arrows on it, Nate pushed the green up button and waits as the elevator lifts him up. Nate crosses his arms while tapping his foot, waiting to reach the top.

The shaft eventuality reached the top as Nate looks out and whistles, impressed by the view of the Ocean he is seeing. "Man! This is some killer view!" "Well then, i'm glade your impressed, kid!" Nate widens his eyes and turns around, surprised to Rolento along with 4 thugs as the last 2 just climb up a ladder next to the platform. "Because,Nate Tennyson. It will be your last." Rolento smirks as he crosses his arms.

"So, i'm guessing your Rolento, right?" "That's right! I'm one of the top members the Mad Gear Gang! And i want to talk to you. See, we've been watching you Nate! And Belger is most impressed of your powers!" "Let me guess... your boss ether wants my alien powers or me to join him. No way! This kind of thing happened before with Everyone i fought. And i mean Everyone! So forget it! I'm sooooo not joining you gang!" Nate commits with a deadpan look as he crosses his arms. "Joke all you want,kid! See, we know why your here." Rolento said as he holds out and pushes a button on a remote, making T.V. Screen appeared from underneath and behind him and his thugs, showing 4 women tied to chairs next to a brick wall and have red bandannas gagging there mouths.

Nate widens his eyes in surprise at recognizing at the female playable characters of his fusion game: Maki Genryusai, Lucia Morgen, Chun-Li and Felicia.

Maki has blonde hair tied up into a ponytail with a white band and brown eyes. She wears a red female ninja outfit with hatler neckline and a skirt with no sides along with matching panties. She is also wearing white and red sneakers. Lucia has blonde hair too, but in a short style, and blue eyes. Her outfit consists of a brown vest with a blue sports bra, denim jeans and tennis shoes. Chun-Li is a woman of china descent with brown hair, done in an ox style with white bao covering them, and eyes. she wears a modified blue with gold accent Qipao with a blue leotard underneath with dark brown pantyhose and blue thong. She also has white calf-high boxing/combat boots. And lastly, Felicia has long, mane-like blue hair with white cat ears and green eyes with silts. She only has bits of white fur covering her body, with thin strips on her Breasts, Hips, Crotch while her legs where entirely covered in fur with pink claws on her oversized paw-like feet.

They were all tied up the same way: Ropes coiling around them and pinning there arms straight and behind their back, stopping just below the busts and at their hips with some rope tying their feet together to keep them from escaping.

"You see, Nate, we figured out that we have a mole in our operation! We don't who it is though, but we will find out. Anyway, we figured since you helped the Mayor and his pals out of that jam at the Bar, i thought you would try to do the same to these lovely ladies. So when i heard you entering the factory, i made an appearance just to get you chase after me into this shaft!" Rolento explains as spreads his arms wide.

"As i speak right now, a couple of my guys are placing some dynamite next to these girls, setting off a fuse that will take 5 mins to turn them into literally bombshells while you and i fight!" Rolento explains as 2 table were suddenly pushed in front of the girls. There eyes widen in terror as a 6-pack of dynamite was placed on the table between Maki and Lucia while the same thing was happening to Chun-Li and Felicia. Just then, a hand holding a lighted match ignites the long fuse that is connected to both pack and his hanging between the tables. The girls started to sweat in terror as they tried to get free, but couldn't because of how strong the ropes are and how tight they are tied.

"And you now the best part about this is? You will fall to save them! Even after knowing the place they are held is on the right of the elevator door!" Rolento brags while the T.V. Screen changes to hallway Nate was in before, but showing the door Nate went through and a Big pair of double doors on his right, just as the screen want down while Nate kept his eyes on it and grins at the new info.

Nate then places his hands behind his back while his eye became half-lidded with a smirk on his face. "You know, for a former marine dude..." Nate coolly said while activating the Omnitrix behind his back, twisting the dial to a random alien. "Military man, actually." "Whatever. For guy from an Army, you sure don't thinks things through, do you?" Nate then slaps the dial and transforms while running and throwing a left punch at him as bandages starts to appeared around Nate's body and engulfed him.

The limb stretched out as smacked in Rolento, sending him flying into the railing while the thugs looks in surprised while the limb stretched back as Nate looks at himself. "Snare-Oh, huh? Well, beggars can't be choosers." He shrugged as he eye smiles.

3 Thugs charged at him, swinging there pipes at the mummy. But Snare-Oh dodges while taunting them. "Oh,Man! Do you guys seriously never heard of bathing!? You all reek just as bad as Stinkfly! Yuck!" He gagged as he wraps his arms around the thugs and tossed them off the elevator, sending them plummeting to the ground where they ere destroyed. Rolento got up as he rubs the back of his head and then glares at the alien kid. "Anyone up for roasted rags?" He punned as he starts throwing his grenades at Snare-Oh, who had just uppercut 2 more thugs into pixels. He turns and widens his eyes at the flying explosives, making him stretched and changed his body to avoid the bombs.

Snare-Oh had just dodged the last explosive when he was suddenly tackled by the last thug, pinning him to the floor as he tries to keep the knifes the crook is welding from reaching any further. Just then, Rolento then approached him as he pulls out 2 guns from his pockets and loads them. "This is payback for everything you ever done to the Mad Gear Gang!" "Everything!? Oh,dear!" He quickly turns into 2 stripes of bandages, throwing the thug off balance and avoiding the bullets. Snare-Oh then reform a bit away from Rolento and quickly stretched his arms out and grabbed the guns. He pulls them off the boss's hands and crushed them, tossing them aside while reforming his arms.

Rolento glares as he pulls out his battle stick while the remaining thug picks up a single knife and charges at him. Snare-oh quickly dodges the strikes while moving back a little before using a reverse roundhouse kick on them. The thug got knocked over the railing, falling while screaming, while Rolento shakes his head and then charges at him again. Snare-Oh decide to end this by stretching his fingers out and wraps up Rolento. He then starts to spin around, getting faster as he holds on to the boss. He then throws Rolento, sending him flying into a smokestack where he exploded into blue pixels, displaying 50,000 bonus points briefly.

"Well then, if no more bad guys are coming after me, i guess i'll be going now!" Snare-Oh then grabs on the ladder and starts sliding down quickly to the ground floor. He manages to reach the bottom and quickly burst through the doors. He then turns to his left to see the door the screen showed, making him runs towards it and opens it. He steps through to see that he is outside the factory at the back exit.

"MMMPPPHHHH!" Snare-Oh turns to his left and widens his eyes to see the girls he was looking for, only to see the the fuses where getting close to the bombs as the women sweated with bulging eyes. "Hang on!" Snare-Oh cried out as he stretches out his back tendrils and made them wrap around the dynamite. Grabbing them with his right hand, he gave a firm yank back, sending the bombs flying into a nearby warehouse window. "Take Cover!" He cried out as he ran towards the captives and molded his body into a protective wall. BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM The bombs exploded, taking out the warehouse and leaving nothing but a smoking husk of debris.

The wall morphed back into the mummy as the girls breathed out a sigh of relief from behind there gags, which Snare-Oh removed by stretching his right fingers and pulled them off. "Are you all okay?" " We are now, thanks to you!" Chun-Li responded back as the other girls smiles as well. Snare-Oh then moves his bandages and starts to untie the girls. The last of the ropes fell to the ground as the ladies stands up and rubs there arms to get rid of any discomfort. Snare-Oh also notices that each of them has arm accessories.

Chun-Li has large spike bracelets. Maki has ninja arm guards. Lucia has Brown fingerless gloves and Felicia has what thought to be long white gloves with matching bicep bands. But when Snare-Oh looked closer, he is surprised to see it was actually more fur with oversize hand-like paws with sharp claws on them that reminds him of Wildmutt's hands.

"Hey, thanks for saving our necks back there!" "Yeah! We would have been blown to bits if you had'nt made that purrr-fect rescue! MEOW!" Lucia and Felicia commits while the catwoman paws at the air and winks at him. "No problem, it's what i do! Name's Nate by the way!" Snare-Oh said as he points at himself. "I'm Chun-Li! and these are my friends: Maki, Lucia and Felicia!" "So, why are you here, Mummy guy?" Maki questions while crossing her arms. "Well, Jessica sent me to help you girls out." "Wait a minute! Jessica Haggar!? But... Wasn't she kidnapped!." "Not Anymore! I helped her out and managed to get he back to City Hall safety! In Fact, Jessica along with the guys are there as we speak!" Snare-Oh responded back to Lucia while she and the others had shocked looks.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP Snare-Oh's eyes widen as he looks down at his blinking belt. "Sorry! Got to go! You girls get back to City Hall, Jess will explain things!" He said he as rushed away from the factory and made a huge leap, stretching his arms out and grabbing on a nearby tall building and starts swinging way from the girls. He Eventually landed somewhere near a park as he timed out. "Well, that was a close one!" Nate said as he rubs the back of his head. Just then, a green flash nearby caught his attention, seeing 2 more DNA Tokens. "Sweet!, Wildmutt and Articquana!" Nate said as he collects the spinning tokens. Just then, the map shows up once again, and to Nate's surprise, it was right next to him: The Bay Area.

"Whoa! That's convenent! and weird." Nate commits and shrugs, deciding to forget about and starts running into the park to head towards Level 6.

Meanwhile, At City Hall, The girls had just reached it while talking to themselves. "Geez, those Mad Gears just never let up, do they!?" "Yeah, but it's always fun to bust there skulls!" Maki and Lucia laughs while Chun-Li smiles at the commit as they all entered into the lobby and head to the Mayor's office. Just then, they noticed that Felicia was quiet and looking to the side, which is unusual because she is always energetic. "Hey, Felicia! Are you okay?" Chun-Li questions in concern while Maki and Lucia looks back at her as they all stop in front of the doors to the office. "I'm fine! I was thinking about the mummy that helped us, more specifically, his scent."

"What about his scent?" "It's strange. I was to pick up the scent of bandages, but i also smelled Chili fries, Smoothies, grass... and the scent of a 10 year old." The girls starts to think about what she said for a bit. They decied to put it to the side and enters the mayor's office to see Jessica Hagger cuddling with a muscled blonde hair man that wears a white shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and blue bandages wrapped around his lower hands.

"There you girls are! We've been eating for you!" Exclaims a shirtless, musclier man with brown hair in a short comb style with a mustache over his top lip. He wears green pants that has a strap going over his left shoulder like a sash with black dress shoes. Standing near his desk with his arms crossed is another man that has short black hair and wears a red sleeveless ninja gi with wire mesh shirt underneath. He also has High-Top Nike Dukes with yellow fingerless gloves.

Felcia turns to her right and smiles wisely seeing someone she likes, despite the other not showing. He is a musclier werewolf that has white and blue fur and yellow eyes. He has sharp teeth and claws on his hands and toes. He is also wearing purple pants with an orange sash. This Jon Talbain, werewolf Darkstalkers and Felicia's friend, not to mention secret crush. Next to him and sitting in a chair with his eyes close and arms crossed is another man. He has medium black hair with a red long headband around it. He wears a white karate gi with the sleeves ripped and a black belt. He is also Red Finger less Gloves with padding. He Open his eyes and smiles a bit to see that everyone is safe.

"Well, now that we are all here, we can focus on destroying the Mad Gear Gang, once and for all!" "By the way, Babe, How did you managed to get free of the gang in the first place?" Cody asked her Girlfriend, who responded back as she stands up and moves towards a huge T.V mounted on the wall while picking up a video tape marked ' From Poison' with a kiss mark on it. "Well, it was thanks to a new very special friend i made briefly! It's kinda hard to explain him, so Poison put together a video of security camera footage showing him in action! And trust me, you'll be very surprised at what this person can do or how young he is." Jessica said with a wink as she puts in the tape and pushes the play button and then moves to the side as everyone keeps there eyes glued to the screen, unaware that they will be shocked and awed.
