Previously, on Doomsday Rider VI, the Chia Police have confused Achinarak
with Doomsday_Rider and have begun to chase him throughout Neopia. Not only
that, but Vipor has now been reawakened, which means Tuturis is the final piece
of Zing-Lau's plot for universal domination.
"I CAN'T KEEP this up forever," I said to myself, panting, as I ran the rest
of the way down Highway 17. "The Chia Police just will not give up." I jumped
as a stream of bullets struck the cement right beside me. "This is not good.
Not good at all."
8:14 PM NST: Earth
"Master Zing-Lau?" a human cautiously beckoned.
"What is it now, Shenoei?" Zing-Lau demanded.
"I just figured you might like to know that Doomsday_Rider
is heading north on Highway 17, and he's getting close to Hangar 19 where the
C-19 CollisionChaos Jet is," Shenoei answered.
"Good," Zing-Lau said.
"What do you mean, 'good'?" Shenoei demanded.
"If he boards the C-19, the Chia Police won't be able to follow him!"
"Yes they will. You're forgetting about their
C-40 Skull Jet," Zing-Lau said. "Now leave me alone."
"Yes, sir," Shenoei answered, turning off the
radio. "If only Zing-Lau knew what I had up my sleeve." The floor beneath Shenoei
began to glow reddish-orange, and then the entire building exploded in a tower
of fire and smoke.
9:03 PM NST: Hangar 19
I ducked inside an old-looking hangar.
"Whew!" I said, sighing with relief as a trickle
of sweat streamed down my face. "I have no idea how I ran for that long without
a single break."
I heard a revving noise from behind me, and I
nearly jumped out of my skin. I spun around, and saw a jet leaving the hangar.
It was strange looking. The wings were single-layer and on top of the plane's
main body. Two of the things like what helicopters land on were on the base
of it. I ran after it and grabbed onto the tip of the wing just as the jet lifted
off the ground and into the sky. I jumped on top of the wing and sat down to
enjoy the ride.
The jet veered to the left, and I looked up to
see what had happened. There was another jet behind the one I was on. I had
heard about it on the news. It was the Chia Police's new air-strike vehicle,
the C-40 Skull Jet. It slid off to my left, and shot three fireballs out of
the gun on its right wing. The fireballs were bigger than my head, and they
all hit the wing at the exact same time. I jumped up right after the fireballs
hit, and slammed my Million Degree Sword into the cockpit windshield. It started
to drop down, so I yanked my sword out of the glass, and jumped back onto the
other jet.
"That wasn't so hard," I said, smiling to myself.
But I was wrong. There was a hard jolt from beneath the jet. I looked down,
and realised the C-40 Skull Jet had rammed the bottom of the jet I was on, and
we were both falling from the sky.
"Definitely not good!" I shouted, grabbing onto
the front of the wing. Both jets hit the ground in front of Prince Zing-Lau's
base. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to infiltrate it right away. I lay
on the cold concrete ground, a small trickle of blood coming from my mouth,
and then I blacked out.

"Well, Psychodogg, normally I wouldn't be willing to let someone adopt a pet
like Anubis III, but I suppose if you make sure he doesn't get into trouble
it's all right," Dr_Death said.
"Okay then, so how much to adopt Anubis III?"
Psychodogg asked.
"Does 400 NP sound fair?" Dr_Death asked.
"It sounds fair to me," Psychodogg said.
"All right then," Dr_Death said, pulling
the adoption forms out of his desk. "Just fill these out, fork over the NP,
and Anubis III is yours." Psychodogg filled out the forms, gave Dr_Death the
400 NP, and Dr_Death handed Psychodogg the key to the cage.

"Let's just flip this switch here..." ShenDogg said, talking to himself as
he prepared the Doomsday Warship for takeoff. The entire ship started with a
jolt, and several of the enslaved minions hurried to get onboard so they wouldn't
have to be around for when Tuturis was awakened.
"Achinarak!" ShenDogg shouted.
"What?!" Achinarak snapped.
"You're the one stuck with me on this horrible
ship," ShenDogg answered.
"Master Zing-Lau, do I have to go with ShenDogg?"
Achinarak answered.
"Yes," Zing-Lau answered, turning to face Achinarak.
"Vipor is stuck with Mechanicore, and Tuturis is stuck with me, so you're going
with ShenDogg."
Achinarak turned around and slid silently into
the Doomsday Warship.
10:14 PM NST: Psychodogg's NeoHome
"Psychodogg, thanks again for 'adopting' me from
the pound earlier," Anubis said, thanking Psychodogg for the fourth time in
fourteen minutes.
"It was no problem, Anubis," Psychodogg said.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get going,"
Anubis said, walking out the front door.
At MTL-Rider's former base...
Boomdogg jumped into one of the escape pods and
turned it on.
"Shoot!" Boomdogg shouted, hitting the control
panel. "I don't remember how to work these kind of things." He silently leaned
against the seat and tried to remember how I'd worked it when we went up to
fight Emperor Kaltex. Suddenly, it occurred to him.
"Of course!" He said, hitting himself in the
head with his palm. "I have to turn the power on first." He silently laughed
at himself for forgetting that step. When he flipped the power on, the pod slowly
lifted into the air. "Okay, so then I set it for a collision course with the
object in the sky," he quietly explained to himself. The pod rumbled with
a jerk, and it shot into the sky to intercept the Doomsday Warship.
On the Doomsday Warship...
The pod Boomdogg was in slammed into the side
of the Doomsday Warship and embedded itself there. He silently slid out of the
pod and climbed up to the top of the ship. He punched a hole in the ship and
tore it open wide enough for him to climb in. He dropped down into the war ship
and silently made his way through it. After a few minutes, he stumbled upon
an arena that was just a hole in the floor with a platform in it and three bridges
going into the ring.
"Welcome, Boomdogg," ShenDogg said from above.
Boomdogg's attention went up to the ceiling, and there he saw ShenDogg, standing
on the ceiling!
"Wha--? How can you be standing up there?!" Boomdogg
demanded.
"It's simple, really," ShenDogg said, jumping
off the ceiling and dropping to the floor. "Every wall in this arena has its
own gravity. Which ever one your feet are facing is the wall you will go to."
"This place is starting to freak me out," Boomdogg
said to himself.
"Achinarak, you have a challenger!" ShenDogg
shouted, jumping onto the ceiling. Achinarak slid out of the room on the other
side of the ring and walked toward the center. Boomdogg did the same, and the
bridges around the platform retracted into the floor outside the ring.
"Oh, shoot. Now I'm stuck in this ring,"
Boomdogg said to himself.
"ShenDogg, get the energy generator going. I'll
need some extra energy to win this fight," Achinarak said.
"Right," ShenDogg said to Achinarak, nodding
once. He walked to the Opalstone, the Citrinestone, and the Rubystone, adjusting
them so they were locked on the ceiling. Then he walked over to a switch just
outside the ring and flipped it, causing the three Sacred Gemstones on the ceiling
to send abundant energy to Achinarak. When the three bolts of energy hit him,
Achinarak started to mutate. His claws became sets of five fingers, he grew
a tail exactly like Scorpio's, he grew about three times his regular size, and
he grew three spikes out of the back of his head. After his transformation,
Achinarak let his hands slowly fall toward his waist.
"What the?" Boomdogg asked to no one in particular,
slowly backing away from Achinarak.
"You'd better be running away. I've reached stage
three of my true form," Achinarak said, raising one of his clear hands.
"I don't think this will work, but it's worth
a shot," Boomdogg said to himself. He jumped up, focusing on a spot right between
Achinarak's eyes. He hit with deadly precision, and ricocheted off and almost
touched the ceiling. Achinarak grabbed his face in pain, and began screaming
and ranting things that I don't think should be repeated here.
"Kabang!" Boomdogg shouted as he landed on the
floor.
"Arrgh!" Achinarak shouted.
Boomdogg jumped onto the wall and run up the
side, then leapt off and aimed for the same spot between Achinarak's eyes, and
again hit with deadly precision. Boomdogg dropped to the floor again, and Achinarak
stumbled backward. He slipped on the edge of the ring and fell out of the Doomsday
Warship and plummeted back to Neopia.
"You defeated Achinarak," ShenDogg said,
donning a grin across his face. "But you won't defeat me!" ShenDogg dropped
to the floor, and began to stare Boomdogg down. "I've been in the Dark Dimension
since you killed me last time, and when you consider the fact that the gravity
there is at least seventy times what it is here, I'm obviously going to be a
lot stronger and faster than last time."
"You're not alone," Boomdogg said, grinning,
almost taunting ShenDogg to attack.
"That's it!" ShenDogg shouted. ShenDogg rushed
Boomdogg. Boomdogg slid under ShenDogg, grabbed his ankles and started slamming
him against the steel floor. Boomdogg threw ShenDogg up after about seven hits.
"Phoenix Rising!" Boomdogg shouted. A ring of
fire appeared under ShenDogg and a wall of fire emerged from it and slowly began
to rotate. As it rotated, it slowly moved toward ShenDogg, who was frozen in
mid-air. When the wall of fire reached ShenDogg, he was encased in a fireball
and the entire fire attack burst into a towering inferno, and then died. ShenDogg
dropped to the floor where he lay motionless for a few seconds. He jumped back
up, and the fight raged on.
"You're not the only one with the Phoenix Rising
attack, you know," ShenDogg said, sneering. "In fact, I've got my own variation
of the attack." ShenDogg began to float into the air, and stopped in the center
of the arena. He held his paws in front of him, and yelled out "Inferno Drill!"
ShenDogg's entire body changed to a fiery red, and he shot directly at Boomdogg.
Boomdogg rolled out of the way, but the force of ShenDogg's attack hitting the
floor sent Boomdogg sailing.
ShenDogg turned around and stared deep into Boomdogg's
eyes. Boomdogg was on the floor, struggling to get up. ShenDogg lifted his paw
and began to gather energy in it.
"Fire Wall!" ShenDogg shouted as he threw the
small ball of energy into the floor. He did a series of gestures with his paws,
and the gestures caused the energy attack to turn into a wall, and move toward
Boomdogg in sudden jolts. The jolts forced the fire wall ahead very quickly.
In a matter of seconds, it would hit Boomdogg if he couldn't get out of the
way.
To be continued...
Next time on Doomsday Rider VI, ShenDogg and Boomdogg keep battling, and ShenDogg
escapes before he can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And what's this?
Is it the Hyper Phoenix? No, it's Tuturis! Total chaos is spreading throughout
Neopia. Will our heroes be able to defeat Prince Zing-Lau before he can conquer
both Earth and Neopia? Find out next time. |
