Annihilation
(The next afternoon, Carlos's room)
Carlos: Zzzz... Naomi... Don't worry... Zzzz...
Yamatoman: It seems I have to wake up Master Carlos.
Naomi: Awww, why should you? I wanna keep listening to him...
Yamatoman: ...Hehe...
(Someone knocks on the door)
Carlos: (wakes up) You may enter.
Moe: So, you've got an important religious artifact in your room.
Carlos: ...How'd ya know?
Moe: I hear about these things.
Carlos: ...Oh. Anyway, I kept the Spear in a special loca- (opens closet) ...Sanababichi! How the hell did this happen?
Moe: Well, that is an obvious place to-
Carlos: (opens a secret compartment in the back of the closet) Not so obvious, right?
Moe: ...
Carlos: Anyway, the Spear is once again out of my posession. Anyway, what does the SJR want with it?
(In an unknown location of the internet)
Hinoken: FireMan! Burn him to a cinder!
Fireman: This overgrown flamethrower's going down! (aims his arm cannons at a muscular navi with a spike laden head and torch-like arms)
Inferoman: Oh, this is too easy.
Fireman: Gyaaahhh!!! (both arms spew fire at InfernoMan)
Inferoman: (absorbs the flames) Oh yeah! That's making me so HOT! (slams forearm onto the ground, making oil appear over the panels)
Fireman: You're just setting yourself up! (throws a red bomb at InfernoMan)
Inferoman: (swallows bomb, smoke pours out) That's-a spicy meat-a-ball! Now, Firebomb! (launches a large bomb up in the air, crashes down)
Fireman: Is that it?
Inferoman: Well then, give me your best shot!
Fireman: Volcano! (volcano appears over one of FireMan's forarms)
Inferoman: 3, 2, 1...
(Volcano activates Firebomb, causing the panels to erupt in fire)
Fireman: I fell for an old trick. Damn myself! Aaauuuggghhh!!! (melts to deletion)
Inferoman: Fool. (absorbs flames) He thought that he could beat me. Unfortunately, fire makes me stronger. Isn't that right, BitMan?
Bitman: The same with me! ElecMan doesen't look so tough now!
Count Elec: ...ElecBaloon!
Bitman: (thinking) Now, for a quick deletion.
Elecman: I know what kind of tricks are up an electric navi's sleeve... Make your move!
Bitman: Then I shall. Lightning! (is absorbed by the ElecBaloon) Bolt! (is also absorbed) Thunder Cross! (spike-like hands cross, giant bolt is again absorbed by the ElecBaloon)
Elecman: Now, it's my turn! ElecBaloon! (yellow ball floats toward BitMan)
Bitman: AirCannon3! (a blast of air sends the yellow ball back to the injured ElecMan)
Elecman: Once again I taste deletion. (Baloon pops, ElecMan is deleted instantly)
Poseidonman: (is affected by the explosion) Hey, watch it already! I'm trying to delete ColorMan!
Madoi: ColorMan! CannonBall x2! (two holes appear diagonal to PoseidenMan)
Poseidonman: Pathetic. Just pathctic.
Madoi: Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, hooo!!! ColorMan! Salamander! Fountain!
Colorman: Salamander! (Red Doll spews fire toward PoseidenMan)
Poseidonman: Geyser Cannon! (puts out fire, deletes Red Doll)
Colorman: Well then, Fountain! (Blue Doll spews water out of one of the holes)
Poseidonman: Yaaahhh!!! (water is swept up and thrown back at ColorMan and deleting the Blue Doll)
Colorman: What?
Poseidonman: Fan! (box transfers the air toward PoseidenMan)
Colorman: Gah! I can't get back!
Poseidonman: Die! (runs up, stabs ColorMan with his trident)
Colorman: How can this be! (is deleted)
Stoneman: GokGokk. <Pitiful fool>. (stomps his arms, rocks fall on a greenish, girl navi)
Gaia: Oh my, what am I going to do? AreaGrab! (StoneMan's area is reduced)
Stoneman: Gok Gok Gok <Much easier to crush you now.>
Gaia: Don't bet on it. Gaia Sword! Mine x3! (slashes StoneMan in half)
Stoneman: G-Gokk! <I-impossible!> (is deleted)
(a mysterious navi walks up to the victors)
Navi: Good job, just what I expected...
Mahajarama: You forgot about me.
Magicman: And yours truly!
Navi: (turns to MagicMan) However, you'll be forgotten again.
Magicman: Well then, let's see about that!
Navi: Raaawww!!! (claw tears off MagicMan's right arm)
Magicman: Graaahhh!!!
Navi: (stabs MagicMan with a spear)
Magicman: Just, W-who, are, y-you? (is deleted)
Navi: My name... is GekkoMan...
(a voice appears)
Voice: We defeated ex-WWW! Nobody can stop us now!
Gekkoman: You stay out of this, you pathetic bastard. (turns to other navis) Only we are the ones to rule the net!
Voice: You forgot our part of the bargain. You, all of you, belong to the SJR now.
Gekkoman: Neither of the Getsumen Corps. belong to the likes of you!
Voice: You'll sooner or later find out what the Steel Jesus Republic can do to traitors. (dissapears)
Gekkoman: ...So what. That man's full of bullshit anyways. Let's get the hell out of here. (navis plug out)
[the Crescent City SJR base]
Voice: Now, God commands you to work! He demands you to modify the Alloy Knight, to become a cleansed version of the greatest sinner in the world! (cloaked figures modify a metallic, humanoid figure into a more massive, more lifelike form)
Voice: Yes, just like that, for this shall be the one who guards the Spear! Now, place him here! (points to platform protruding from a wall) Now when the greatest sinner tries to steal the Spear, (places the Spear in front of the figure) the day of judgement shall come forth! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaa!
[Back at the NG's house]
Carlos: Odd, since my shift is at evenings and nighttime, the Spear was stolen in the morning.
Moe: Strange. If someone tried to break in, we'd already have noticed.
Carlos: So it must have been someone in this house... David!
Moe: David?
Carlos: He was the first person to have seen me with the Spear, and because he's religious, he'd consider the Spear at a much higher value. After all, it is the spear that peirced the side of Christ.
Moe: Come on. You and David have your differences, but he'd never do anything like that.
Carlos: We'll see...
(Carlos, slowly followed by Moe, walk up to David, lounging in the living room)
Carlos: Alright, you stupid bishounen-looking cowboy! What's the big deal with barging into my fucking room, and stealing the Spear while I slept?!
David: What are you talking about?
Carlos: You stole the Spear!
Cyros: What spear?
Adrienne: Obviously, the great SJR has it in it's posession!
Carlos: !
Adrienne: Well, it seems you found my little secret. I'm not really Adrienne! (takes off mask)
Chikyuko: I'm Chikyuko of the SJR!
David: What!? Where's Adrienne?
Carlos: And where's the Spear?
Chikyuko: Well, Adrienne is still somwhere in this building. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to help Mother Earth, and plant the Black Seed program into the net. Farewell, sinners. (runs off)
David: We gotta find Adrienne! Cyros, Sam, check the roof. Moe, Jon, take the ground floor and basement and ask Ms.Stake to help. Carlos and I will search the flat and Serenade will check the SecretArea for any sign of Dark.
Carlos: Wait, we have other things to worry about too. Moe, you just might be the best support here. The Black Seed program only works when in the ground. By now, she'd already have installed it. Wait in the net for an e-mail by me. It'll be the exact coordinates of my location when I find it. The rest of you search the building for Adrienne. Now, let's get to work! (is about to run out, but is blocked by David)
David: Since when have you become leader?
Carlos: You may be leader, but that doesen't mean you're good at leadership. (pushes Davis aside and runs off)
[The garage]
Carlos: My bike! Chikyuko stole it! At least she didn't steal my car. (hops in, drives off)
[Crescent City SciLab, the computer area]
Chikyuko: Gaia! Delete all navis in the area!
Gaia: For Mother Earth. (deletes 2 navis at once)
Carlos: (right outside) The hell?
Yamatoman: Master Carlos, should we plug in?
Carlos: (pulls out wireless plugs) Gotta throw these right... (throws, plugs make contact) Plug in! YamatoMan.EXE, Naomi.EXE, Execute!
[SciLab3]
Naomi: Oniichan, look!
(Gaia harasses an innocent normal navi)
Navi: Please! I did nothing wrong!
Gaia: It dosen't matter. now you must face the wrath of Mother-
Yamatoman: -Fucking YamatoMan.EXE!
Naomi: And Naomi.EXE!
Carlos: Damn straight!
Gaia: Came to stop me, huh? Well then, you can't beat the power of-
Naomi: Fire... Missle! (red missile explodes on Gaia)
Gaia: (is highly damaged, but appears unfazed) A decent start. Now dodge my blade! *rushes Naomi with her sword)
Yamatoman: You'll have to get through me first! (Blocks the Gaiablade with his own Yamatosword)
Gaia: Not a bad sword. How strong is it?
Yamatoman: Stronger than yours.
Gaia: Is it then? Stealth Mine! (Gaiablade grows) NOBeam3! (GaiaBlade grows again, Yamatoman begins to buckle under the force) Omega Rocket!! (GaiaBlade grows immense and shatters Yamato's sword)
Yamatoman: No!
Gaia: And now for you! *swings the blade at Naomi, who catches it in mid-swing)
Naomi: I guess you weren't expecting an Anti-Sword! (breaks the GaiaBlade and fires three powerful sonic booms back at Gaia who is jumping backwards to her own side of the battlefield)
Gaia: (smirks) As a matter of fact I was, thank you. (quickly uses one LeafShield after another to absorb each slash as health.) Fully healed again, but it seems we're both down a weapon. We'll have to see about that. Bamboo Lance! (a bamboo shoot juts out of the ground next to Gaia, who plucks it and holds it like a spear)
Carlos:...indeed. (thinks) It's time for the cube combo.
Yamatoman: Stone Cube! (A cube appears in front of Yamatoman, and Yamato is about to leap in front of it to launch a NOBeam when vines suddenly sprout from the ground and pull the cube under)...!
Gaia: I'm sorry, did you need that? My vines have a thing for field objects. They're very nourishing.
Chikyuko: That one Cube puts you 25% of the way to regenerating your Gaiablade. Hey Carlos, any more of those we can use?
Naomi: Don't worry Yamatoman. Leave her to me! HeroSword! (her blade meets Gaia's lance. The lance is destroyed and Gaia takes damage.) Guess you're out of Leaf Shields.
Gaia: I have other means of recovering. GrassStage! (grass appears on the panels)
Gaia: I can feel the earthly energy rising and flowing into my body! GreenWood!
Yamatoman, Naomi: (cannot avoid the WoodTowers.) Aaaahhh!!
Gaia: More where that came from! Spice3!
Naomi, Yamatoman: (Bad Spice shoots out of the grass, dealing more damage) Gaahh!!
Yamatoman: That was worse than a normal spice attack. She's not just healing, she's growing in strength!
Naomi: Oniichan, I've got an idea!
Carlos: What is it?
Naomi: (quietly) HeatSpread, folowed by a CannonBall.
Carlos: Just what I thought! Insert HeatShot! Heat-V! HeatSide!
Naomi: HeatSpread! (Naomi fires directly at a Gaia growing more powerful)
Gaia: Aauugh!
Naomi: CannonBall! (throws a CannonBall, breaks panel behind an injured Gaia)
Yamatoman: And now, the final blow! Salamander! (a more powerful row of flames travel through Gaia and into the hole)
Gaia: Want me to tell you the location of the Black Seed? It's right in this area! Try an find it, if you can... (is deleted)
Carlos: Alright, now I'm gonna e-mail Moe. Naomi, X-scanner!
Naomi: X-scanner! ...Oniichan! I found the Black Seed!
Drillman: (tunnels out of a wormhole) Where?
Naomi: Right over there!
Drillman: OK! (goes into tunneling mode, tunnels through a panel, which ultimately causes a large explosion) That was easy!
Carlos: Alright, let's plug out!(Carlos plugs out)
(Zenigata bursts in)
Zenigata: Alright, Carlos! I'm gonna put-
Carlos: Chikyuko behind bars?
Zenigata: Hm?
Carlos: (points to computer area) She kidnapped one of the Net Guardians, took her identity, and tried to invade the SciLab area! All I did was save the SciLab area from her! Now arrest her like the lawman you are! And leave me alone to boot!
Zenigata: ...
Carlos: Now, if you excuse me, I'm leaving...
[Later, back at the NG's house]
Carlos: Adrienne! You okay?
Adrienne: Yeah, it's nothing.
Carlos: ...Ah well. At least things are back to normal... almost.
[Back at the Crescent City SJR base]
Voice: Wait all you want, Carlos Lupin. I've got all the time in the world...
