Operation Revolution - ARMS

Flashbacks

Min Min asked with a twisted, incredulous face as she sipped her coffee, "so she just- like, barged in, knocked out the Commish, fought you, and after you won she summoned this crazy mask known as Hedlok, fought you again, you won again, and then she smashed it and disappeared?"

"Pretty much," replied Spring Man, taking another bite out of his donut, "it was quite unexpected. But, I guess it's what they say, 'expect the unexpected'."

"You weren't there, but I watched it all," said Ribbon Girl, eyes and mouth wide, "he won just with literally no HP left. It was a-may-zing. I'm really impressed!"

"Tell me her name again," said Ninjara, putting down his latte.

Spring Man turned to him and stared for a second or two before answering, "Doctor Coyle."

"You got this Spring Man," said Ribbon Girl, giving his Toaster ARM one last polish, "go out there and show everybody what you can do! Show your strength!"

"We're rooting for you," said Kid Cobra with a thumbs up.

"Thanks guys," the bouncer smiled, taking the towel off his neck and putting it on the bench, "I'll do my best. You can count on me to bring home the championship belt!" He turned to the exit of the locker room, the entrance of Sky Arena.

"We might be competitors on the battlefield, but outside it, we're all rooting for each other!" Twintelle said.

His friends cheered as he turned and walked out.

"It's Spring Man versus the Commish, Max Brass!" Biff announced through the PA as soon as he entered the arena, and the crowd cheered loudly.

Spring Man could help the grin on his face. He was so lucky to have such supportive friends and fans.

He stepped onto the little risen platform in the middle of Sky Arena and got into his battle stance.

"And here comes the Commish... MAX BRASS!"

Spring Man turned away from the PA speaker and to in front of him.

This was it. He only needed to win this and it will all be over.

I'm ready for you, Max Brass! He thought to himself, creasing his eyebrows further.

"Do you think Spring Man's gonna win?" Ribbon girl asked, eyeing the screen in the locker room.

"Of course he's gonna win! He has to win!" exclaimed Ninjara.

Spring Man braced his Toaster and Tribolt as the fight was about to begin...

Suddenly, a flash of blue emitted from the side, and both he and Max Brass turned to look at it. Before Spring Man could even recognize the person that appeared from it, she extended her arm and punched Max Brass to the other side of the Arena.

Spring Man stood gaping as the two of them broke out a brief battle before the woman vanished again, before reappearing and knocking him out, this time completely off the arena and into a building in the distance.

"What?" he exclaimed, completely dazed by the past ten seconds.

He looked up at the intruder, who looked back at him with an evil smile.

"She looks awfully familiar," said Ninjara, squinting at the screen.

"Looks like the Commish was knocked out, and now it's Spring Man versus Dr Coyle, the head scientist of ARMS Laboratories!"

"She looks tough," said Ribbon Girl, worried.

"Not tough enough for our bouncer friend!" Kid Cobra reassured her.
