The Infinite Arena

*General Van laughs, shoving Van over*

General Van: Just as I thought. Her pathetic mind has infected you all. Soon you will all be
completely immobile!

*Copycat grins*

Copycat: And I can help that along!

Van: Sal this is your head! you gotta focus!

*Sal thinks about this*

Sal: Ugh....Got...to...AAAAAAGH!

*Sal turns gigantic*

Vibes: Sal? What are you doing?

*Sal literally tears at the wall of the arena*

Sal: NO...MORE...ARENAS! AAAAGH!

Van: sal?!

*Sal rips away the walls around them. She then turns to Copycat and General Van*

Sal: By the way I know you're not real either!

*She turns, kicks and they both smash like glass*

LATER...

*The heroes emerge from green pods*

Sal: I...is this real?

*She looks round and sees Rotecol and Anty*

Sal: W...We're back!

Van: thank god

*Vibes looks confused...*

Vibes: How did...?

Sal: Those sickos wanted to take us down without even being here. They thought we could do
the job for them.

Van: we almost did

*Sal nods*

Sal: I know. But we got through it. Because they underestimated us. We won't get that lucky again.

Van: i know.

*Mega Fox scowls furiously at Copycat and General Van*

Mega Fox: You had them vulnerable and you didn't kill them?

General Van: Your remit was to crush them Mega Fox. Mentally as well as physically. We were
close to both.

Mega Fox: "Close" is still failure. You are running out of chances General.

GV:........then do it yourself. end them yourself if you want it so badly. all i see you doing is hiding in the shadows.

*Mega Fox grabs General Van by the collar*

Mega Fox: SPIKE MODE!

*A spike heads toward General Van's neck*

Mega Fox: Make no mistake General I have seen my fair share of combat. Question my judgement
once again and I will dispense of your services. Am I making myself clear?

GV: .................yes..........master........

*He drops General Van and turns to Copycat*

Mega Fox: Let that be a lesson to you too- anyone who dares consider questioning my judgement
will be destroyed.

*He turns to General Van*

Mega Fox: Your next idea had better be inspired.

GV: *walks off*

*Copycat follows him*

Copycat: I can't believe you did that! You are so lucky. That guy was happy to dump his lieutenant
on a planet he intended to blow up.

GV: it was the truth. he is doing nothing but sitting here.

* Copycat grins wickedly*

Copycat: You know you didn't hear this from me...

*General Van raises an eyebrow*

General Van: Go on...

Copycat: Anyhoo, Mega Fox has superiors. They're the Consortium, the...

General Van:... Evil aliens intent on taking over all existence, I know.

Copycat: All I'm saying is you could take your case to them...

GV: .......i'll consider it. tread carefully Cat. you are the only one i trust.

*Copycat smiles*

Copycat: Good for you.


MEANWHILE...

*Vibes clutches her head*

Vibes: AAAAGH!

Van: what's wrong V?

*Vibes looks in fear at Van*

Vibes: Something very, very bad is on the horizon. Big, world endy bad.

oh crap

*Warp King appears in front of General Van*

WK: Little birdie tells me you're getting narked with the boss man?

General Van: What are you talking about?

WK: Well let's say I have supplied him with items from time to time. Could probably give you
the odd trinket that fell off the back of an interdimensional truck. Just saying.
