It was time for the master plan to unfold.
The Mad King was fed up with Vav and Dragonface’s antics. The kid kept fleeing to the other hero, but this would be the last time he’d get to run to him. X-Ray’s mission was about to happen. Well, Null Ray’s. The monarch had tossed aside that green rubbish and replaced it with a crimson and coal coloured attire. Of course, he still had his normal insignia with the broken crown behind it. It had more than just silly trinkets made from the landfill. Scientists, including the king himself, added multiple new attributes to it. If he were to betray the other, it was set to explode on him. Some may call it cheating, but it was just his pawn’s turn to play. Little did he know that Hilda had upgraded Vav’s suit as well, but not as dangerous.
Now, standing on their selected battlefield, the Mad King stood back beside one of his many large robots. It was the backup plan, just in case this failed miserably. Someone wasn’t going to leave this area alive. Ryan would make damned sure of it. Unless...
His multi-coloured hues settled upon the heroic duo past the ex-hero. His gaze was darkened and full of spite. It switched from Vav to his son. A frown stamped itself on his lips as he spoke.
“What a pleasure.” He began, malice in his voice,
“Grab your popcorn, little boy. The adults are about to play a game of survival. You best step aside, you little traitor.
It’d be a fair one-on-one. I step aside, you step aside. We’ll watch from the sidelines.”
Then, he turned to Null Ray, revealing a small vial with strange red, glittery fluid. He brought it out with a needle, soon injecting it into the traitorous hero’s arm.
“My dear. Remember what I told you. This’ll set in quickly. You remember this little thing from the labs, yes?
What we’ve discussed. I’d really hate to see you blown to bits. I was starting to like you.”
Returning those dagger filled hues, he spoke to Vav.
“As for you.
You may have tricked my little boy into your stupid antics of being heroic, but it’s pathetic child’s play. I’m going to enjoy watching the light die in your eyes and your screams will be music to my ears!”
