On the highest peak in
Dingo cocked his head to one side as if thinking and said, “Well Keenan, I
would, but there’s a small problem. I don’t think that my friends here would
appreciate me giving up the generator they’ve worked so hard to guard.” Dingo’s
Tauruses stepped out of the building behind him and
strode to his side.
“What a coincidence,” said Keenan, “my friends don’t seem to appreciate paying,
or, for that matter, doing much of anything in a non-violent manner.” Keenan’s Virgos lept off of the roof of
the building next to him and moved to opposite sides of Sandrock
Custom.
“Well then,” said Dingo, “I guess we’ll have to settle this the old fashioned
way.” Responding to an unseen signal, Dingo’s Tauruses
drew their beam swords and lept at Sandrock Custom, only to be stopped by cover fire from the Virgos’s beam cannons.
Dingo activated his Black Hole Wings and flew at Sandrock
Custom, wielding his Twin Beam Trident. Keenan fired a blast from
“You fool!” Keenan screamed, “Do NOT harm that generator!” Dingo twisted around
in Metal-Mission and kicked Sandrock Custom squarely
in the chest, sending it flying back into another hangar. Keenan managed to
struggle to his feet only to be bowled over by a massive barrage of
mini-missiles. Before Keenan could rise to his feet, Dingo drew Ragnorak and shoved it through the cockpit of Sandrock Custom.
“And that,” said Dingo, “takes care of that. Now to clean up
whatever’s left of that other Virgo.” Suddenly the tip of Durandel emerged from Metal-Mission’s chest. Keenan pulled
the mighty sword out and stabbed again and again, the blade trailing energy,
until Metal-Mission collapsed.
“Dingo,” Keenan said, “your aim is terrible. You managed to decimate my cockpit
without touching a single hair on my head. Now you’ll see the might of the
ultimate weapon!” He lept to the roof of the largest
hangar and drew his Angel Cannons. “Ying…” the Good Angel Cannon began to glow
with a white light from within, “Yang…” the Evil Angel Cannon seemed to draw in
as much light, if not more, than its good counterpart, “Explosion!” he cried.
The Good Angel Cannon unleashed a torrent of blazing white energy while the
Evil Angel Cannon loosed a blast so dark it seemed to draw in the light of the
sun itself. The blasts twined around each other and shot up at the sun.
“Taurus,” Dingo wheezed, “destroy the generator and
get as far away from here as you can.” The Taurus beeped in compliance and
launched itself at the hangar, only to be caught by Keenan’s remaining Virgo.
The Virgo dragged them both into the path of the apocolyptic
blast plummeting towards Dingo. The mobile dolls didn’t even make an impact on
the behemoth blast, they simply dissolved. The blast plowed into the fallen
Metal-Mission and continued on deep into the crystal that made up the valley.
Keenan walked up to the crater and threw in five dollars through the hole where
Ragnorak had pierced the cockpit.
“Payment has been delivered,” said Keenan, “so I believe that this wonderful
generator now belongs to me.” Keenan got out of the battlescarred
Sandrock Custom and headed towards the last remaining
building in the entire complex, Dingo’s lonely hangar, to collect his well
deserved reward.
