Classic Adventures of PWNage! No. 5: Lightning up

## The Story

A little bit since their last debacle, The EDF is hanging out, when a promo comes on the T.V brandishing an epic new attraction at their local gamestop. It's a giant suit of mech armor! and two lucky winners will get to take it home! What will you do with it? Domestic terrorism is indeed a possibility! Come on down and try your luck at this military class weapon!

Since everyone else is out, Chad and Spiral of course have GOT to have it, and immediately head down the street to get a look at the competition.

Meanwhile, Circa is at the Vet, taking her kitten Timo for a checkup, along with Aiden, who brought Bergus to communicate everything happening with the Cat.

Timo is getting his shots, so he won't be sick from something stupid in the future, but he's still freaking out because he hates doctors. Circa is asking Aiden about what he remembers doing with Spiral, to see if she remembers them too, Aiden tells her about all of their favorite moments together, and Circa begins to feel bad, faintly remembering alot of the things he's saying.

Aiden reassures her, telling her that she's her own person, and that he's excited to make new great memories with her. Circa smiles, as Timo screams his lungs out.

Back at the competition, the announcer is about to state the rules, as Chad and Spiral wait eagerly at the front of the crowd. The announcer, named Mr. Monster, says that anybody who can crack the code on the tablets provided and solve the futuristic game of hangman on the large screen, will take home this giant, working mech.

Giddy, the two rush up to the screens to input random stuff as soon as he says go, and the game is on! Spiral begins entering every possible word he can think of at super speed, while Chad starts asking the chat of the event stream for help. Some time passes, and there are few people left, Just Chad and Spiral, and 5 or so others, all frantically trying to guess the code,

Aiden and Circa are walking down the street back home, when they see the chaos across the road. They decide to check it out, and begin cheering on their friends, which causes them to go at it even harder.

Eventually, Chad and Spiral are the last two left, but only ONE can win. Chad says if one wins they both get to keep it, but he fails to realize what Spiral does, the Mech has to be piloted by TWO people, and whoever loses, has to be the *butt pilot*.

Chad is MORTIFIED by this, and begins to go beast mode, trying his absolute hardest to avoid the horrific fate that is the butt pilot, as Spiral moves as fast as he can.

The duo pick up clues and all sorts of nonsense, frantically typing in randomness, until a large buzzer blares, and the two groan, not wanting to be the butt pilot, but are confused. Neither won? What the hell does that even mean? There was no time limit!

Mr. Monster then comes out, and states that he wants to go home, so they both win and get the Mech suit. The two who were just about to kill eachother hug, jumping around like a couple of monkeys, as the demonstrator girls come out, gesturing at the mech, with one getting in.

Circa and Aiden come up on the stage, when suddenly, the girl in the lower pilot area is thrown out by another showgirl, who rips off her clothing to reveal she's wearing a jumpsuit underneath it.

It's Myrna! And the top of the machine's cockpit windshield opens up, revealing Spyron's maniacal grin.

He laughs at the EDF, shouting about their idiotic ideals, and that this Mech was secretly theirs.

Chad demands to know where the real one is, and Spiral questions what the difference even is, before he is blasted away by a laser, as Spyron simply utters "Artillery."

Circa yells at Aiden to give her Bergus so she can take the animals back home, and tells him to hold off until she gets back. Aiden frantically shoves Bergus into Timo's mouth, before launching at the Mech.

During the whole thing, Ejay has been at home laying on his couch with Cujo watching movies. He gets a text from Spiral asking him to come to the street, and laughs, sending a "lol", and saying he will after the movie. He then gets a crime alert about a terrorist attack, and looks at Cujo with a goofy look.

Ejay shows up, distracting Spyron, who begins to fire at the green blur in the sky, laughing maniacally. Ejay keeps trailing him, giggling at his missing shots.

Chad jumps on top of the Mech's shoulders, and begins punching the windshield, Spyron opens it, and closes it mid punch, trapping his fist. Spyron chuckles at him, but stops as he notices that Chad has teleported into the cockpit with him.

The top of the Mech begins to go crazy, as Myrna, having to deal with both Spiral, Aiden, and Soon Circa, begins to panic. She tries to get Spyron's attention, but he cuts her off, saying he's busy.

Chad and Spyron struggle in the cockpit for a while, when Chad accidentally elbows a control stick as Spiral jumps at the Mech. The Mech swats Spiral very hard into a building, crashing him into a post office lobby.

He's hurt pretty bad, but he can get back up. The people in the lobby gather around him, as he struggles to stand, helping him up. He moans and groans, the air knocked out of him, but thanks them for their help.

A pillar behind him gives into the pressure, and the ceiling begins to collapse on top of everyone. Normally, he'd just get everyone outside in the blink of an eye, but he's screwed up, and can only do so much.

The exit is blocked, but Spiral grabs a big piece of debris, and spins around, launching it at the rubble in front of the door, and making a path for a short while so some people can escape.

A teenager tries to give him a pin from his scout lanyard, but the building collapses some more, with a large chunk falling directly on top of them. Spiral catches it, in extreme pain, and tells the kid to go.

The kid attatches the Pin to his shirt, and runs out, as more debris blocks the door, and the piece on top of him gets heavier.

Spiral starts to lose strength, as it pushes him to bend over, then crouch, then kneel. He thinks about his life, he thinks about what he'll lose, and he decides that his sacrifice won't be worth it if this kills him.

He's finally forced to the floor, his hands pushing with all their remaining might against the ground, as his glasses clack on to the cold stone. He growls, slowly picking up ferocity, his hands bleed from scratching the ground, he uses every drop of power he has, and clenches his eyes shut, and opens them with nothing but fury, glowing with the unmatched energy of a star.

He starts illuminating the pitch black tomb forming around him, but with what? He doesn't care, there's one, tiny light in front of him, and he HAS to go for it. He puts his foot back, letting the rock balance on his back, as he gets into a sprinting position, and launches.

He dashes forth with unimaginable power, and a shockwave of energy following him is nothing short of an understatement. The small light he launched toward becomes a shatter of the world in front of him. He runs right into it, traversing into a glowing slipstream of pure energy and plasma.

He stops at no point, and breaks through reality after reality, he keeps steadfast, and eventually breaks through to the street he was launched from.

He booms through the Mech at what can only be light speed. Not one person can react in time, as in one second Chad was scuffling with Spyron, and the next he is on the ground looking at his friend.

Spiral glows with an extraordinary aura, his hair flashes a bright group of colors, and his clothes radiate with energy, flowing like the leaves on a tree rooted directly onto the Cosmos.

Spyron, freezes with shock, pushed up against the cockpit's wall, and staring through the tear inside the ship straight at his brother, who floats on the street with a look he's seen only from his father before, one of indifference, one of strength...

One of Power.

Spyron jumps out, and tries to grab Myrna and fly away, but he doesn't even make it 6 feet into the sky before he's thrust into the concrete by his cape, which practically disintegrates on contact with Spiral's skin.

Dazed, he searches for Myrna, but she is right there on the ground with him, struggling against Spiral, who's holding her hair to ensure no escape takes place. Spiral beckons Spyron to try again, putting Myrna in front of him.

Spyron, enraged, launches a punch directly at his face. Lightning and thunder bellows around the electricity of his incoming strike, and it collides. The conflicting energy of the two has their own battle, and Spiral's wins. Spyron is sent launching backwards in an explosion of plasma, but Spiral is too quick, batting him away from a building, sending him towards another, but again, Spiral waits for him to reach him, knocking him back once more.

Spiral ping pongs his brother around, putting more force into every hit, until he stays in the sky, and uses Spyron's own Thunder Drop against him. Spyron bounds to the ground, but is caught gently by Spiral, who stands him up, tells him to grab Myrna, and do not come back.

Chad, Aiden, Circa, and Ejay all stand behind Spiral, charging up their powers to help enforce his demand. Spyron glances at them, with Myrna using him to stand, and scoffs, grabbing her by the arm and flying off.

Spiral powers down and drops to his hands and knees, groaning. The EDF surrounds him, helping him back up, as they all walk back to the tower.

The comic ends with Circa laying Spiral down, and kissing him, telling him to get better, before putting Timo on his chest and leaving the room to take a bath.

Spiral smiles at Timo, who mashes his face into his, as Spiral takes off his pin and places it on his nightstand.

\*After Credits Page\*

While Spiral is passed out, Timo wakes up, stretching on his chest. He jumps down to the floor, and walks into the kitchen, drinking some water, as Bergus walks over, sharing the water with him.
