Alfreda and Cell's Further Wanderings
Chapter 10: Blotsanity: Part 1: The Blot Kings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAlfreda, Cell, Dominator, and Juan were escorted through the halls of the tower to what must've been the heart of Phantom Blot's Headquarters. Dominator was finally brave enough to break the silence. "So how many times have you had to deal with this 'Phantom Blot'?"
"Well that depends, what day is today?" Alfreda asked Juan.
"I think Tuesday."
"6,872 times. And 5 times spotting him passing by."
"What?! Is he immortal like you or just really lucky?"
"It's more along the lines of that bitch Anti-Matter got almost every Phantom Blot in existence to do the dirty work of killing us for her before we get to her if we end up in one of their universes."
The large doors opened allowing everyone to see the mad scientist vibes the room gave off, what with the Frankenstein Esq machines lining the walls. The Phantom Blot himself was up the staris near his throne holding a imp like blotling by his neck. "How do you lose a ship shaped like a skull you just captured with a Super Slobber!?"
"Forgive me father! The blue wirewolf saw some buttons and went to press them. We were too late to stop the escape, we were able to grab the skeleton, watchdog, Zbornak, and wanderer!"
"You think a give a flying damn about who you captured? I have half a mind to absorb you back in to remove one Spatter wasting my time!"
"We captured Alfreda and his friends!" The Spatter begged causing Phantom Blot to look and see the group facing him and smiled.
"You got at least got one thing right." He dropped him then walked down to the group, intimidating Dominator a little as he stood a few feet taller then Crush standing straight up.
"Greetings prisoners, you may remember me as the Phantom Blot."
"Ok. Lord Dominator, new to your gig, just one question, how are you alive?"
"Simple, the Blot matter fell off the skeleton of the Phantom Blot all managed to defeat forming new Blotlings from it, the biggest becoming yours truly. Ship coming to steal the bones were captured and the technology reused for our needs. The crew? Let's just say they served the same purpose. All though you four being here makes things interesting. A little dropwing told me The Order of the Claw has a price on all four of you."
"Please don't send us back! I like to shower on all fours, and the guys will jump me the moment I get down!" Alfreda pleaded.
"Same here, That's why neither of us showered the four days we were there." Cell added to which Dominator and Juan scooted away from them.
"I am not sending you back, even if that's not what you should be worried about, those who cross and or escape The Order like you did get preserved immaculately then cut up like puzzle pieces and scatted across a state or country, a planet if they're in a bad mood." Phantom Blot then gestured to the corpses on the tables cut up like puzzle pieces. "Perfect for a rainy day. But no I'm not gonna do that to you. I actually need you all so I can properly execute my double cross against Anti-Matter. Slobbers!" Phantom Blot shouted at the giant blotlings with small legs and large upper bodies. "Take them to the lab."
"Except for the girl." A voice said. Everyone looked to see someone walking out of the shadows. He was a blotling half the size of Phantom Blot but had one horn on his head and was proportioned as more of a lean build with a visible pair of legs. "I have some questions I want her to answer."
"Blot's Shadow we don't have time for any of your blot experiments."
"Patience father, I just wish to talk to her." Phantom Blot rolled his eyes and gestured two Slobbers to escort Dominator to Blot's Shadow.
Dominator was tied to a chair looking up at Blot's Shadow who stood in his chair elevated above the room some of the blotlings residing in it sleeping. "Are you comfortable?" he asked.
"I'm tied to a chair no I'm not."
"Oh well might as well get down to business. I want to kill my father."
"Well why haven't you? And why do you need me so you could say that?"
"Because I want to kill him but I don't possess the proper means to keep him dead. The only thing that could do that for me are Volcanium X and Frostonium, two things I do not posses. What I do posses now is the one person who knows how to properly wield it. You. Teach me how to use it and anything shall be yours when we conquer the galaxy, and beyond."
"Okay 1. It sounds like you want something more from me then that so no. 2. I don't have my gloves so you can kiss that dream bye bye."
Blot's Shadow glared at Dominator as he turned on his automatic orchestra.
"Now, listen here, Dominator.
Because I've got a sweet deal,
So listen close,
As I propose,
A plan to make them kneel.
All I need is your power
C'MON!" Blot's Shadow slammed into the ground on her level, waking the blotlings, falling apart a little before reforming coming up a head above her.
"Cough up your secret,
Your Volcanium,
And Frostonium,
As an arsenal duet.
We can be the best
To be the gre~atest,
Together, you and I,
Can rectify,
In our quest,
Soon, we'll progress,
And we will wi~n
Then, once again,
We can be the gre~ate~st
Now, I know it's a hard job,
Putting up with me, a living blob,
But the galaxy,
Will all see,
That nothing can get in our way.
My father and all of those peons,
Will be cowering for eons,
I've got the power,
You've got the temperature,
And the throne is where we'll stay.
We can be the best,
To be the gre~atest
Together, we'll "blob-ulate"
And dominate
In our quest.
Oh, wouldn't it be a delight?
Ruling everything in sight
If you invest
We can be the greate~st!"
Many Blotlings in the room cheered at Blot's Shadow song as he looked at Dominator.
"We are so close to annihilating all who stand in our way. So show me how to use your powers..." Blot's Shadow asked.
Dominator looked at him unwavered tied up in her chair. "I can't."
"Can't or won't?"
"Pretty much won't."
"Well it's not like you have a choice. So it's more of, you will." Blot's Shadow replied raising a claw.
"Blot's Shadow!" Phantom Blot yelled from outside the door. "Bring her. It is time..."
"This isn't over girl..." Blot's Shadow growled as the spatters carried her off.
Phantom Blot chuckled maliciously as he strapped the struggling Lord Dominator into the chair.
"But Father, we haven't determined the effects the ray will have on her already altered body." Blot's Shadow said looking a bit worried.
"Where's your curiosity? With the proper modifications Lord Dominator shall be the general of the New Blot Army leading us to Galactic Domination! I will be able to destroy Alfreda and Cell, then reclaim my honor stolen by Anti-Matter once and for all standing triumphant!" The ray gun blasted Dominator causing her to scream as she felt the organs she got from Cell inside her being changed by the ray, she was starting to feel even better then before as Cell's organs felt as though they really belonged in there all though that didn't make the process any less painful.
"D!" Cell yelled bending the bars of his cage trying to get to her only to fight off the Slobbers that held him back.
"Into the Vortex with her!" Phantom Blot yelled to which some Spatter grabbed her chair and putting it on a lift leading into a large machine.
"But this piece of junk was collecting dust for decades! We don't know what could go wrong with this." Blot's Shadow replied pulling the switch activating the machine until it sparked causing some small explosions inside electrocuting Dominator. Dominator could feel someone else's memories flooding her brain, the pain giving her the strength to tear off the straps landing on the floor, in the rage that began to flood her mind Dominator ripped two Spatters in two before plunging her hand into a Slobber's gut ripping out it's heart. Some Spatters tried to dogpile her only for her to shake them off running across the room. Alfreda and Juan broke out of their cell and running out a window in the chaos of it all.
"Capture her!" Blot's Shadow commanded to which a Slobber lumbered towards her grabbing her crashing through the window with a victorious "Got er!" Only to look down seeing she and him were floating in the air then looked at her who coincidentally spoke the same time he did with a simple "Uh oh." before gravity ensued. They landed on the rocks painfully each and every time, eventually separating, the Slobber falling though the trees landing on his groin on some sharp rocks. Dominator bounced off the trees like a pinball before slamming face first into a colossal rib bone with a dizzied face rolled down it launching off into the sea.
Cell stabbed a Slobber through the chest with his tail only to see Dominator was already gone. Cell was about to run the other way out only to find Slobber's and Dropwings gathering around him.
"Restrain the Bio-Android..." Phantom Blot said with a glare.
Blot's Shadow smashed the furniture in his roar roaring in anger and stomping his feet like a spoiled child. A Spatter snuck into the room, it's blot matter a tad pink in hue with eyelashes. "Should I come back at a later time or is that not gonna happen?"
"What is it Janice?"
"I must regret to inform you that Alfreda Juan broke out in all of the confusion of Lord Dominator's escape."
"What?! Unacceptable! Who is responsible for that?!"
"I believe they were next in line for experimentation listed by your father sir."
"FAAA~" Blot's Shadow froze up in his bellow of rage, his jaw hanging out at something could be heard in his mouth.
"Man, Blot's Shadow looked pissed."
"I know right? I bet he's throwing a tantrum in his room like a baby."
"We really should have that looked at." Janice noted walking up and slapping Blot's Shadow in the face.
"THER~!!!!" Blot's Shadow finished. "His incompetence is too infuriating. It is time to test one of our greatest creations yet." Blot's Shadow looked at the dark tinted glass smiling seeing the silhouettes being attacked by the Blot Matter.
"Sir, may I ask what is this again?"
"The next step. Our Grandfather is the Shadow Blot, our Father the Phantom Blot, we have the Elite Emperors and the Lords, but this simple job," A Hand slammed onto the glass before being covered in blot matter becoming a Slobber's claws. "Is for Blot Kings." Blot's Shadow raised his head letting out an evil laugh that echoed across the base.
Dominator began to drift back towards consciousness starting to hear voices.
"Dominator..."
"Dominator!"
"Let me try."
"Wake up crazy bitch!" Then something hard and metal smacked her across the face bringing her straight back to reality. Dominator looked around and found herself on a beach with Alfreda and Juan looking at her.
"Hi. I'm the one that slapped you, but we saved you from dying on the beach. You're welcome." Juan spoke up.
Dominator growled tackling him to the ground holding him by the throat, ready to throttle him harder, Juan simply looked at her with a careless smile. "Go ahead, grant me my peace."
Dominator looked at him then looked to Alfreda who was more concerned looking off deeper into the island. Dominator scoffed and let go of her grip. "Where the heck are we?" She asked.
"Blot Island, more specifically Planet Blot, yeah Phantom Blot is so vain he names an entire rock after himself like a douche." Alfreda answered.
"Is there a way out of this dump?"
"AA guns at the center of the island keeping anything from flying off it."
"Swimming off?"
"Apparently there are Blot Sharks. I found out the hard way." Alfreda replied pointing to his bite marks across his shell.
"Didn't you idiots build a boat?"
"We had one but a native saved you from drowning in the ocean and used a song saying 'You're Welcome.' to steal it from us with his buddies. I swam after them and that's how I found out about the Blot Sharks. Jokes on them though, Juan put a kill switch on it that sinks the boat a mile out if none of us are on it. I did make a transmitter to send out help but something on the island is blocking the signal." Alfreda said showing the little transmitter made out of random gizmos the Phantom Blot had in his lab held together by seaweed.
Dominator looked at it before looking up at the dark clouds that circled around the mountain in the middle of the island. "So what're we waiting for? Let's do this."
"You know this won't make you two even, you have two more rescues before you can call it even." Alfreda replied as Dominator began walking into the jungle.
The three of them walked through the jungle, the only sounds accompanying them were the sounds of the birds and the bugs.
"So how do you two stand him?"
"Simple, I actually like him as a friend but take all his crazy words with a grain of salt." Alfreda replied.
"I just pile on to my sea of rage for when I cave his face in like a souffle." Juan said before stopping and looking around. "You hear that?"
"You really think he's listening?" Dominator asked.
"No, something else." Juan's ear twitched before he ducked from a dodging a claw swipe above him as something landed.
It was a Spatter but it had the face of Phantom Blot, the arms of a Slobber, and his horns shaped to form some kind of crown. Hovering next to him was a Dropwing with a Slobber arm instead of it's usual arm, sharper wings, and a crown on it's head between it's two eyes.
"I take it Phantom Blot missed us but not enough to actually be here so he sent his least favorite sons?" Juan snarked before the Spatter charged at Juan to which Juan performed an O-Goshi flipping the Spatter into a tree.
"That is no way to address the glorious Kings Spatter and Dropwing." The Dropwing yelled flying towards them.
Dominator attempted to punch King Dropwing only for Dropwing to grab her and slam her into the ground repeatedly before throwing her into Alfreda.
"You really need to learn how to fight."
"Oh really? Like you can teach me?"
"Actually yeah. Watch the master at work." Alfreda got up facing Dropwing as he charged in for another attack. Alfreda sidestepped his claw swipe then grabbed Dropwing by his wing and slammed him into the ground. Dropwing squirmed before Alfreda planted his foot firmly before pulling on the formers wings and ripped them right out. Dropwing screeched in agony before Alfreda threw him in Juan direction, to which Juan brought out a double barreled shotgun splattering Dropwing to pieces. King Spatter ran at Juan in anger to which Juan then wielded his shotgun like a bat smacking him across the face before using the momentum to correct his aim firing the second shot killing King Spatter in a small blast of buckshot and Blot Matter. Juan blew the smoke off the barrel before tucking it away.
"Is that the Super Shotgun?" Alfreda asked.
"Yeah. What better gun for the job?"
"Hey. Alfreda?" Dominator asked to which the former turned around.
"You know that's actually the first time you've said my name."
"Can you teach me?"
"What? How not to die? Easy, hide behind me, I've been told I'm an excellent meat shield."
"No. How to fight, like you."
"Really? Sure, sit down." Both of them sat down on the ground and Alfreda reached his hand out to Dominator. "Just trust me, I'm taken, Cell's your problem." Alfreda touched her head and they both passed out. Juan realized what he had to do and sighed.
"Mierda."(Shit.)
Dominator woke up and found herself in the mindscape with Alfreda.
"Why bring me here?"
"This is the mindscape, we're on a tight schedule so I figured the best way to get this done quick was to bring you here, I learned how to set the time dilation in here so an hour out there could be a month in here. We can get the training you definitely need being in El Quatros Locos. That's Spanish for The Four Crazies."
"Is Juan gonna be fine?"
"It's Juan. Two bags of dead weight won't be a problem."
Juan huffed and puffed as he carried both Alfreda and Dominator. "Alpha these two are heavy, why does Alfreda have to have an adamantium shell? And Dominator could seriously lose a few pounds."
Juan looked up and saw something slam into the ground. it was a blotling with a single eye that had a red iris, two Slobber arms to hold it up, and a crown on top of it's head and a lightning bolt inside it.
"King Seer!" It shouted slamming a hand on the ground.
Juan rolled his eyes before dropping Dominator and Alfreda before cracking his knuckles. "I take it you're a Blot King?"
"King Seer!" It shouted again.
"Oh great you're a dumb one." Juan charged at King Seer and they both landed on the ground rolling around trying to get an advantage over the other before breaking off. King Seer tried to stab Juan with the lightning bolt on his head by launching himself forward rolling like a bowling ball and jumped to try and stab him only for Juan to grab King Seer's arm and slam him around before he grabbed his other arm. King Seer squirmed in a panic before Juan put his foot on Seers eye before ripping his arms off.
"Second verse, same as the first." Juan quipped before grabbing King Seer by the lightning bolt then grabbing him by the bottom of his eyelid repeating the motion ripping King Seer apart, but revealing the lightning bolt had belonged to-
"Peepers?" Juan said confused seeing the unconscious Watchdog. Before he could question further, King Seer attempted to latch onto Juan like a leech by his foot. The last mistake he'd ever make. Juan lifted his foot up and slammed it down, satisfied to hear King Seer finally die with a small screech of agony. Juan looked back at Peepers then slapped him across the face. Peepers woke up startled screaming.
"Get off! Get off!" Peepers yelled terrified.
"Open your eye it's just the guy who has no problem killing you." Juan assured him to which Peepers did so then looked around. "Where am I? Where's Wander?"
"This is Blot Island, home to the universe's biggest asshole. Wait, Wander? I thought they took him with you."
"Oh no. They took Lord Hater and the Mini Dominator somewhere else then they threw us in a chamber. That stuff came out and latched onto us."
"Well they weren't in King Spatter and Dropwing, both of them were too small to even notice, either way those two blotlings are dead." Juan looked at something attached to what used to be King Seer's eye and picked it up, seeing it as some kind of monocle and placed it over his right eye. He examined the pile that used to be Seer and the monocle lighted up with labels.
Blot Strength: Scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the weakest such as the average Seer, and 10 being as strong as the Phantom Blot.
King Spatter
Blotling(type): Spatter
Blot Strength: 1
King Dropwing
Blotling: Dropwing
Blot Strength: 1
King Seer
Blotling: Seer
Blot Strength: 3
"No wonder it was easy to kill those three." Juan noted before dropping Peepers. "Grab Dominator, I call dibs on Alfreda." Juan then bent down and picked up Alfreda carrying him off while Peepers struggled to move Dominator even an it. "How is she this heavy?"
"I don't know maybe Cell's organs are made of lead." Juan snarked as they approached a large door. Juan and Peepers walked through just as Juan felt Alfreda squirming to which he dropped him on the ground.
"Ow~. Not cool man."
"I'm not your piggyback man." Juan noted before Dominator squired getting up just as Peepers finally surrendered to gravity and collapsed on the floor. Dominator got up cracking her back a little. "How long were we out."
"About 4 hours before I found C. Peeps over here." Juan replied pointing the watchdog on the floor.
"Wow you were right that didn't take long. Would've taken less time if you hadn't breaking my arm" Dominator said to Alfreda.
"Would've been shorter if you learned avoid arm bars." Alfreda replied as Juan stopped sniffing the air.
"Do you smell that?" Juan asked.
Alfreda smelt the air and looked at Juan. "Dark Magic? But this isn't even an alternate Equis."
"Exactly." Juan said before dodging a plasma blast as something slithered through the room as it lit up, revealing dozens of large holes around the room as something slammed into the floor in front of them reforming.
It was a blotling with four pairs of arms, one arm throwing down the smoking Plasma gun, with a trunk like base, root like tentacles for legs, the upper half of his torso similar in girth to a Slobber's, and a crown on his head.
Juan's monocle lit up seeing the blotling.
King Sweeper
Blotling: Sweeper
Blot Strength: 4
"Huh. Not that bad." Juan noted before a rumbling shook the ground. Something crawled by the holes inside them before something crawled out of one next to King Sweeper.
It was a Slobber, but it was two times the size of a regular Slobber and shaped like a dog. One off the biggest differences wasn't just it's one cyclops Esq eye with an odd tuft of magenta hair above it's brow, or it's tail with a few spikes, but all the smaller arms(at least 11 by Alfreda's count) across it's body.
Slobber Barker
Blotling: Mutated Slobber
Blot Strength: 5
"Okay now that's a problem. For you two." Juan said standing back with Peepers.
"What?! Why?" Alfreda asked.
"While you two were napping I had to deal with King Seer. I'd say it's you shift now. Also I found this monocle that rates Blotlings on a scale of one to ten, ten being as strong as Phantom Blot. Slobber Barker's a 5 and King Sweeper's a 4. Have fun." Juan then down to simply watch.
Alfreda sighed before looking at Dominator. "Which one you want?"
"I'll take the Sweeper." Dominator said with a smile.
Alfreda ran for Slobber Barker only for it to grab him with it's right arm then threw Alfreda into the grip of it's smaller arms before they broke him apart like building blocks.
"Okay I wanna trade!" Alfreda yelled.
"No backsies." Dominator replied before dodging a swing of claws from King Sweeper. Dominator delivered some of her own punches always moving but giving Sweeper no time to recover.
"I admire her fighting style." Juan noted as Dominator only hit King Sweeper to counter and kept her distance from his swings jumping in a boxing stance. "That's it Dominator! Muhammad Ali that Gak knockoff!"
King Sweeper growled then reached into himself and pulled out multiple random objects out then threw them at Dominator. Dominator dodged and managed to grab a mircowave that he threw and smacked it across his face, causing some Blot Matter to fly off his face. King Sweeper looked back with a growl allowing Dominator to see under his face was-
"Wander?" Dominator asked shocked seeing Wander's face, his eyes angry and a blotlings green as the Blot Matter came back to cover it. King Sweeper grabbed the hat from in him and pulled it out before reaching in wielding a sword, a plant pot, a bag of candy, and a brick.
"Wow the ability to give you anything and it gives you a brick."
King Sweeper began swinging his makeshift weapons at Dominator who was still stunned but was able to dodge as Alfreda put himself back together and realized who the red tuft on Slobber Barker’s forehead belonged to-
“Sylvia?!” He yelled putting it together.
Slobber Barker jumped around like a bull trying to kick off Alfreda who wouldn’t budge. "Alfreda, I want to trade."
"Oh then be my guest." Alfreda replied before jumping off and facing King Sweeper only for Sweeper to grab him and stab him repeatedly with the sword before beating in his face with the other things.
"This isn't even fair!" Alfreda yelled in pain.
Dominator approached Slobber Barker cautious. "Hey Sylvia. It's me. Dominator." Slobber Barker socked her across the face. "Okay I deserved that one."
"You deserve a hell of a lot more." Juan snarked.
"I know you're in there somewhere, please just fight it." Slobber Barker roared again pinning Dominator to the wall with a claw raised back. "Please Sylvia." Dominator asked.
Alfreda tackled King Sweeper and attempted to pull the hat away causing lots of things to fall out including a leather jacket with a S on the back of it that fell on Dominator's face. Slobber Barker blinked surprised and gently grabbed the jacket looking at it deeper.
"You don't remember that night, you know before I left you?" Dominator asked causing Slobber Barker growled a little. "I know I was a jerk, but everything before that was one of the best nights of my life. Please Sylvia, fight it, come back to your friend, if not for me, then Wander, help me save him from King Sweeper."
Slobber Barker held it's head in pain dropping Dominator as King Sweeper finally pulled Alfreda off and snapped his neck, proceeding to slither over to Slobber Barker. "Is she dead yet?" He asked.
Slobber Barker didn't turn around but said one word. "No."
"No?!"
Slobber Barker hacked something up spitting out Sylvia who stood ready against King Sweeper. "And she never will be."
King Sweeper roared in anger and charged at Sylvia who dodged and slapped him in the face with her tail lining up with Slobber Barker socking him in the face. The hat fell straight off his head and Dominator picked it up. "Look, I know you can think and control what gets pulled out of you, and you may not necessarily like me for all I've done, but if you care about Wander, as in really care, just give me something to save him, please."
"NO MORE WORDS!" King Sweeper roared charging at her, Dominator panicked and reached in, just as King Sweeper lunged at her, she pulled out a thinner sword slicing King Sweeper in two freeing Wander who fell unconscious. Sylvia rushed to her friends side as Dominator stared at the sword that quickly crumbled upon contact with the air, she then stared at the melting body of King Sweeper who writhed, taking some satisfaction in knowing he died. She saw something glowing in his corpse and picked it out surprised. It was a gem the size of her fist, but it was oddly shaped like a butterfly. "Yo Juan! Does this thing look familiar to you?"
Juan looked at the gem and was surprised. "The Element of Kindness?" Juan pulled something out and attached the Element to it causing pings. "Yep, The Elements are scattered across the island."
"Ya know I grabbed the Element of Loyalty on the way out of the lab when I said we'd come back for Cell when we both knew we weren't." Alfreda replied.
"Kind of ironic isn't it?"
"Ok we can all talk about what's ironic at a better time and explain what exactly these things are?"
"All powerful Macguffin's that when used together using the power of your friendship can defeat your enemies with a giant rainbow. I'd say Phantom Blot's trying to use them conquer the universe."
"I say we beat him to it. I mean using them on him, maybe put that conquering thing on the back burner."
"Yeah." Alfreda turned to look at Wander, Peepers, and Sylvia. "You guys head towards the water, I built an emergency beacon there and we should get help when the rest of us take down the jammer. We'll find Hater and Cell and link back up after beating Phantom Blot." Alfreda said before he, Juan, and Dominator walked through the door leading deeper into the island. Sylvia turned around ready to walk when something tugged on her, and she saw Slobber Barker holding her by the tail with it's cyclops eye giving her the puppy dog look.
"Aw~ I think it likes you. I think I'll call it Slobs." Wander said earning a slight snarl from Slobber Barker before it's face lightened up a little.
"I think she likes that name." Sylvia replied.
"Wait, that's a she?" Peepers asked.
"Yep, when I came to, we shared memories, I think that's why she likes us so much, because we treat each other then Sweeper ever treated her." Slobs smiled and licked Sylvia affectionately before using her other arms to lift the others onto her back and walked down to the beach.
"See Peepers, and enemy is just a friend you haven't made yet." Wander said with a smile.
"Now don't you start that again." Peepers complained.
