An airship flew towards the Xectar City City Hall. Accompanied with 4 bomber jets and 2 lab airship. The plan is underway. In the airship, the Glitch Wipeout Crew is sitting next to each other, holding their weapons and focusing their eyes on Rale, who is explaining even more details to them. Rhea stood nearby drinking a cup of soda, silently listening to the words. At last, the airship reach the destination. Rale closed the hologram and sighed.
"Remember, this action is to purely waste their energy, not combat, survival is crucial. Like what I said, don't worry, UTD will be supporting you all. Good luck."
The crew silently nodded. Then, the door of the air ship opened. Albur walked towards the door but inly to realize the airship is still in the air. He almost lost his life but thanks to Mysty he didn't.
"Woah, I thought the airship had landed?"
Rhea scoffed as she squished the soda cup.
"See ya!"
Rhea leaned backwards and fell out the air ship. She balanced herself and adjusted the landing position. She then activated the rockets beneath her feet canceled out her fall, making her landing in safety. The rest of the crew hopped off the air ship and Covie grabbed them all to break the fall, making them landing safely as well.
The crew concentrated their eyes at the broken tent, they drew out their weapons and slowly walked towards it.
"We're approaching towards the tent." Rhea used the walkie talkie to report.
"Copy that."
Albur looked at the rest of the crew. Everyone is ready. He then used slot 2's powers and aimed at the ground near the tent.
"Hyper Blast....."
Albur fired the rifle. The bullet flew towards the ground near the tent. But then, a metal clanking sound is heard, a beam of light streaked across. The bullet was split into half, flying towards the left and right sides of the tent, a large explosion occurred. The crew entered cautious mode. In the explosion smoke, a figure stepped out from it. It is the cloaked figure, Juggler. The crew aimed their weapons on him.
"The Glitch Wipeout Crew...been waiting for your arrival for so long." Juggler drew out his blade.
The crew shared a nod. Johnson vanished into the digital world. Albur fired a Disabling Shot at Juggler. It hit him and stunt him. Mysty fired a charged shot at Juggler which slightly injured him. After the disabling wore off, Juggler leaped towards Albur. Albur dashed to the left to dodge his sword attack. Johnson reappeared and tried to strike Juggler with his claw. Juggler blocked the claw using his blade. They kept pushing and pushing each other, scrape sparks are seen on their weapons. Rhea fired a finger rocket at Juggler. He quickly pushed Johnson away and sliced the rocket in half. Mysty and Albur tried to ambush him by firing their weapon, but Juggler simply turned around and cut the shots in half, which led the bullets to hit Johnson and Rhea.
Rhea tanked the bullets easily, she then used her sleeping gas bomb dispenser and fired numerous sleeping gas bombs. Juggler scoffed and sliced the bombs, releasing the gas. But oddly, he didn't get knocked out by the gas. Rhea clicked her tongue, she released a flash bomb and blinded Juggler for a brief second. She then fired her left fist towards Juggler. Juggler slowly recovered and blocked the fist using his sword. The fist pushed Juggler meters away, but that didn't stop the fist from going nor make things hard for Juggler.
Albur fired a Virus Corruption at Juggler, Juggler pushed the fist away and tried to block the bullet. But the fist turned directions and flew straight towards him. The fist hit Juggler in the face. Injured, he was forced to back away. But then Johnson appeared behind him again and fired his minigun. Juggler deflected the bullets one by one but Mysty ambushed him from behind.
Juggler backed away next to the tent, Covie healed everyone from the injury. But then, a voice is heard.
"Looks like you all haven't forget how to fight."
The voice came from the tent, Juggler heard it. He realized something and retreated. Rhea fired a homing rocket to follow Juggler. But then, a gust of particles quickly entered the rocket forcing it to stop moving. The crew looked at the tent. Then, a large robot with the resemblance of a juice vendor and a familiar face walked out of the tent. He is none other than the human double crosser that escaped prison, Wilton. Albur looked at Wilton, in fury.
"Prison is not enough for you?!"
"Cuh, prison? That wouldn't hold me, I had found a new family where I belong to, to get what I want."
"I don't understand, why do you need power and respect? I thought you could change while in prison!"
"I had! Can't you see I turned from a pathetic little normie, into this?"
Wilton's right hand emitted a click sound. He then fired out a gust of particles. It is none other than the AC-23 virus mutated glitch.
The crew took a step back. Wilton just smiled, he then took out a sack, the sack is covered in red liquid, too red to be paint.
"Meet my little friend."
The glitch entered the sack, then, the sack started moving and twitching. Then, the sack was teared, a virus lifeform was seen in the sack. It looked at the crew and emitted a bloody screech.
"Ugh, this thing again?"
Wilton took out more sacks, and put a mutated glitch in each sack as well, turning each into a virus lifeform. The virus lifeforms screeched and charged towards the crew. Albur fended some of them off using Virus Corruption. Mysty ran around in order to slowly deal damage to the lifeforms while not getting bitten. Johnson vanished and reappeared constantly to trick the lifeforms and taking them down slowly one by one. Rhea pressed a button and opened a helmet that covered her head. She grabbed the virus lifeforms and squished them using her brute strength without much effort. The helmet blocked the infectious purple liquid that squirted out when squishing the virus lifeforms.
Rhea then targeted Wilton, she fired a rocket towards him. Wilton blocked it with his arm and sent more virus lifeforms to her. The crew killed all the virus lifeforms sent by Wilton after killing the previous bunch of them. Wilton clicked his tongue, and took a step back.
"Get ready the nukes!"
Rale ordered the bomber jets. The lab jets are ready to bring the crew to the digital realm.
Wilton switched his robot parts into 'Battle Mode'. The crew prepared for the final fight. But then, 4 loud claps echoed across the hall. The UTD jets and the crew raised their guard, Wilton was confused by the noise.
"Ah, 5 people paired with lots of jets, versus 1 helpless cyborg. How unfair..."
Then, footsteps can be heard from the tent, each one echoed across the hall. Wilton moved a little to the left. Then, a foot stepped out of the tent, a figure came out from the tent. He wears a long hooded cloak, with a tattered cape filled with blood. He has a skull face. The left side of the skull is plastic looking with an evil grin, while the right side of the skull is burnt and black, exposing a hollow eye socket with a glowing pinkish purple pupil. He wears a half white half black ringmaster suit with curled pointed shoes resembling a jester. Black white split shoulder pads and a bowties resembling a skull and a tall staff topped with a cracked skull. A pinkish purple gem shimmered, withered branch like fingers wrapped around it. He is, The Cruel and Gory killer, or known as Cluster Goberton.
Cluster signaled Wilton to go, he slowly walked towards the crew and stopped 10 meters in front of them. He chuckled as he bowed.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Folks and toddlers!...."
Albur fired a Hyper Blast at Cluster, he raised his staff. The gem on the staff glowed and formed a barrier which deflected the bullet.
".....Humans and animals! Welcome back! To the peculiar show of the Deadly Circus!"
"The Cruel and Gory killer....." everyone whispered.
"Oh.....please...call me Cluster, Cluster Goberton. I enjoy the title, but its just way~~~ too long, it will make the show 1 star."
"Open fire!"
The crew fired their weapons. Rhea fired numerous rockets. Cluster chuckled and summoned a barrier using his staff, blocking the bullets.
"Oh please...audiences.....don't throw your popcorns and drinks towards the stage...it messes the performance."
Cluster chuckled and stepped back, he signaled Wilton, Wilton smirked and handed him a microchip. The lab jets analyzed the chip, and horrifyingly, it contains concentrated AC-23 virus powers.
"Sir! This is dangerous! We must activate the nukes right now!" yelled a researcher.
"Fire the digital realm blast!" ordered Rale.
The lab jets aimed for the crew. The turrets charged up a shot and fired at the crew.
"No party poopers allowed!"
Cluster aimed his staff at the laser and summoned a barrier that blocked it. The crew stepped back, but the barrier kept following them, blocking the digital realm transfer beam.
"Now! For the grand stunt show!"
Cluster raised his staff. The gem glowed and pinkish purple lightning channeled through it.
"Incoming!"
"Lights! CAMERA! THUNDER!!!!!!"
Cluster summoned purple lightning, the lightnings struck the virus microchip. The skies were darkened and lightning kept striking from the sky, strong shockwaves knocked the crew away.
After a few seconds, the lightning stopped. The microchip was heavily damaged. But then, it twitched, and again, and again. After a while, it burst, a huge chunk of purple substance emerged from the parts, it kept growing and growing and growing. The substance then glowed and fired into the sky. Then, the substance spread out, and started covering the whole area.
"Sir! We detected unknown energy readings!" a researcher looked at the growing line graph.
"Retreat! Grab the Glitch Wipeout Crew!"
The lab jets quickly retreated, the bomber jets tried to nuke the substance, but the substance devoured the nukes, and so as the jets.
The airship flew towards the crew, Rhea grabbed Albur and Mysty and flew towards the airship. Johnson grabbed Covie and followed up using his wheels. But just as they could reach the airship, the substance cut the 2 from contact.
The substance also damaged the airship, breaking it and sent the air ship flying. The substance at last stopped when it covered a large portion of the city, forming a tumor like hemisphere.
