The Insane Cafe 2: Rise of the Shurlups

He had managed to land several blows on Wataru and now had one hand wrapped around the other rider's neck. He glanced over at Rime, a blast of frigid air shot from the bat on his belt. If the air hit Rime, he would get to experience what the Ice Age had been like.

"Rime! Dodge that!" Wataru shouted, managing to pry Shiramine's hand off his throat and get ahold of his arm, twisting it around to his back and putting him in an arm lock. Wataru was safely behind the man and the others would be able to shoot at him without worry of hitting Wataru.

Rime dropped prone, dodging the blast of icy air and started shooting at the white rider.

Strut also started shooting at the white rider. "Nick! We've got an enemy!"

"Zanasiu! Get the grenades!" Rime shouted.

Dr. Zanasiu was on the surface when gunfire broke out. "More Shurlups?!" He then opened the crate and grabbed 2 grenades and clipped them onto his armor. He then rushed down into the tunnels and noticed a white rider being pelted with gunfire.

Dr. Zanasiu too joined in and started firing.

----

Gunfire was heard throughout the cafe.

"Well, at least it drowns out Sparx." Deimos said. "Rime and Strut should be done setting the charges. Once they come out of the tunnel I want everyone to take what they need and get out of the cafe. Once everyone is out, they'll connect the charges to the detonator and set them off. We'll have to find a new place as the charges may weaken the foundation of the cafe enough that it may collapse."

The bullets unfortunately weren't very effective against the Rider armor. Icy air sprayed out from the white rider, catching Wataru and covering his armor with frost. Shiramine broke free of Wataru's hold and spin kicked him away before placing a fuestle into Rey Kivat's mouth.

"Wake up!" the machine announced, the chains on Shiramine's arms broke off and large yellow claws popped out. Snow was now falling from the roof of the cave and the temperature had dropped several degrees. Wataru rolled under a slash from the claws, getting safely away so that the others could fire at the rider again.

----------------------

"Do you think they need help?" Cynder asked, glancing in the direction of the dining room.

Rime took cover behind a large pile of dirt, reloaded his weapon and fired again at the white rider. At the same time Dr. Zanasiu, also taking cover behind the pile of dirt pulled the pin on his grenade and threw it at the rider. The grenade skipped over the ground and rested at the white rider's feet.

"Grenade!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted.

----

"Hey anybody up for some food?" Dr. Kerzach asked.

Zachary looked at the crate of grenades. "Why did Strut have to get all frag grenades?" he muttered. The grenades were small metallic orbs, not at all like the old style pineapple grenades.

The rider used his massive claws as shields against the gunfire. He heard the cry of "gernade" and glanced down at his feet, just as the gernade exploded. The blast sent him flying through the air and he hit the ground in a roll. He groaned and shakily climbed back to his feet. He launched a gust of freezing air at Wataru, who cried out in surprise as it hit him. He collapsed as the assualt ended, now covered in a layer of ice.

"Heh," the rider chuckled and turned towards the others, raising his claws.

"At least he'll have to stop eventually." Odysseus said.

The Tourist nodded, "That is one good point." He said.

Nick took careful aim and fired. the bullet struck him in the necxk, and the rider gurgled as he reached for his throat. ' The neck was less armored than the rest of him, and the bulet had been traveling at a rapid speed when it hit him. speed , combined with less armor equaled a weak point.

Serris · **Reply #1887 on:** February 14, 2009, 06:02:25 PM

Dr. Zanasiu hurled his grenade at the wounded rider. "Grenade!"

Strut took careful aim and blasted the rider full in the face with his shotgun.

Rime also took aim and shot the rider again in the throat.

"Once he dies, get Wataru." Dr. Zanasiu said.

Rime and Strut nodded.

---------------

"What is going on down there?" Deimos asked. The gunfire had drowned out Sparx's voice.

Nick22 · **Reply #1888 on:** February 14, 2009, 06:05:05 PM

The sound of the bullets hellped to drown out Sparx's continued singing, and Dixie was glad for that, her patiencce with sparx was wearing thin.
20 minutes" stripetail called out. Dixie was now halfway to the time she needed, but unless she could get Sparx to stop his horrible singing, her chances of making it to 40 minutes and 4 seconds weren't that good..

"Sounds like someone is up to something." Brooklyn said hearing the bullets.

"In some places that is how someone celebrates, shooting off into the air." The Tourist said.

He kicked the gernade away this time, sending it flying back towards its thrower. He blocked the shotgun blast with his claws and the large segments of armor they were connected to.

"Tension Fortissimo!" Tatsulot chirped as he flew out from one of the tunnel and over to the unconcious Wataru. A yellow glow came from him and the ice crunched as he slowly stood. Tatsulot locked onto his wrist and a wave of fire shot from him as he completed the transition into Emperor Form. The flames had melted the snow that the white rider had created. He yanked on Tatsulot's horn. "Wake Up Fever!"

The Kiva symbol appeared behind Wataru shining with red light. He leapt forward, the energy fangs popping out of the sides of his legs. The rider raised his arms to block and Wataru's kick hit his claws, the fangs on his legs sliced through the claws, the bits of metal clattering to the ground. Wataru springboarded off the broken claws and backflipped, hanging in the air for a moment, before he dropped forward again. This time the fangs went into his stomach. Shiramine groaned and slumped, before he exploded in a massive ball of flames. Wataru spun around and headed back towards the others.

---------------------

"Sounds like it's over now," Cynder said, settling down.

"Swing low, sweet chariot," Sparx sang. "Feel free to join in if you know the words."

The grenade did not clear the mound of earth that Rime, Strut and Dr. Zanasiu were using for cover and it detonated in front of the mound, scattering dirt.

"Thanks Wataru." Rime said. "What could we have killed him with? It's not like we can use spells or anything."

"Too bad the laser and gauss rifles that were being tested at Pelvanida are not fielded yet. They would have simply smashed through any personal armor. Of course we could have simply bought an shoulder fired rocket launcher." Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"Forget it and let's blow these tunnels up. Nick Wataru, we are preparing to detonate the charges." Strut said. He was carrying a two long wires with a multitude of thinner wires leading to each of the charges connected to them.

Strut and Rime then left the tunnels.

"So you made it back?" Deimos asked.

"Yep. Now to blow these Shurlups up." Strut replied. He placed the cables near the detonator box.

"Okay everyone!" Deimos shouted. "Strut has wired the tunnels with explosives. Everyone needs to leave the cafe. We will detonate the explosives after everyone has left and has taken cover. "

"A couple more gernades might have finished him," Wataru sighed, Kivat and Tatsulot detaching from him, his armor vanishing. The three of them followed Strut and Rime out of the tunnel. "Of course, the rocket launcher would have worked, I don't think Rey's armor is much better then my Kiva form's."

Nick22 · **Reply #1893 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:09:17 AM

I know the words" dixie replied. "Swing low sweet chariot, coming fort to carry me home.. but If I do this, will you stop singing? You can make fun of my hair, my dress, my Southern accent, and you can say outlandish things about me.. "

Drake · **Reply #1894 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:13:01 AM

"Will you promise not to hurt me if I stop singing?" Sparx asked. "Spyro wouldn't like it if you squished me."

The purple dragon offered no comment on that.

Nick22 · **Reply #1895 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:17:41 AM

After insulting his girlfriend for 40 solid minutes, thats not as true as it normally would be.." Dixie reminded him. 'And listening to your , 'singing' for the last ten minutes has pushed my patience near its limits.But I will give you a thirty second head start once i pass Spyro's time and open the closet door, makle yourself scarce, and I won't bother you" Dixie said. "will you stop singing?"

Drake · **Reply #1896 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:22:08 AM

"Fine, those are the only two songs I know anyway," Sparx said. "So now I can only make fun of your hair, dress, or accent?" He frowned in thought. "Well, might I say that you use too much perfume? If I were you, I'd stay away from open flame..."

Nick22 · **Reply #1897 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:24:42 AM

No, no Sparx, anything about me is iopen for ridicule" Dizxie clarified, secretly relieved that he had stopped singing.. "You can say completely untrue things about me.. like I don't know..make something up... you're good at it.."

Drake · **Reply #1898 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:38:06 AM

Sparx went with the first thing that came to mind. "Your singing is worse then mine."

"Nobody's singing is worse then yours!" Cynder exclaimed. "My ears will never be whole again."

Nick22 · **Reply #1899 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:41:48 AM

: I would have expected something better, Sparx, than THat.. ' Dixie sniffed derisively, 'come oin, that was weak...You have no problem saying mean things about cynder.."
25 minutes" stripetail called out..
_
Come on Sparx... I don't know, say.. I like other girls..." Dixie tried to think of something for him to say..
