Spectacular World

The Wild Wastelands

Mayor Grove let out a quiet groan as he felt his eyes slowly open. "You okay?" Mr. Brenner asked.

Grove shot a glare at his bodyguard and shook his head. "No. I was tased and knocked out. Of course, I'm not okay." He hissed. He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to ease the tension that had started to build up in it. "So, you were able to activate the robot and get us out of here."

It had started off as his limo. A car that Doc had built using various supplies from other Mental-based Supers. His car was his ultimate weapon, loaded with powerful guns and able to fly and even transform into a large robot. It also used technology that had been created by one of the Pallet Boys. Those two fodder heroes had a way of doing the impossible. This tech allowed them to cause the cockpit of the robot to be much bigger than it should have been.

When the car transformed into its robot form, its interior nearly tripled in size, allowing for a wide-open space within the machine. It was a spacious room filled with dozens of chairs, a few beds, a bathroom, a fridge, and even a mini kitchen—like a small house that he could use in case he wasn't able to make it back to his base beneath the manor.

"Where are we heading?" He questioned his bodyguard. Mr. Brenner was seated in front of the wheel. Dozens of new buttons and levers had formed out of the car, which the man was using to steer his giant robot. "I was going to take us to the base-"

"No." The mayor shook his head. He looked around the large cockpit and frowned. The monitor showed the outside of the robot, and at the moment, they were quickly flying away from the stadium. They weren't very stealthy, and soon it would be all over the news. "I don't want them finding my base."

"They already know who you are. I'm pretty sure they'll tear that place apart and find it sooner or later." The man grumbled. "Besides, the Supers are still there since you decided not to bring them along. We'll need them if we want to even stand a chance. I'm taking a great risk doing this. I might never be able to see my son again. The reason I worked for you was because you promised you could keep him safe from that monster. Don't forget."

"That's true, but..." Grove trailed off. He had a strange gut feeling. Something was telling him to not relax. Lady Luck was always on his side, so he often went with his gut feeling. His eyes roamed over the cockpit once more. "Something is off-"

The back of the room glowed with a bright blue light, and in a flash, two large glass-like boxes suddenly appeared. It caused their ride to shake and wobble. It didn't stop there either, as seconds later, Doc appeared along with two other people cloaked in red robes. Both glass boxes also contained two people. One of them was Kevin, whose eyes roamed around. The other was Wish. The girl didn't move an inch, and it was hard to tell if she was even alive; both her eyes squeezed tightly shut.

"How did you guys get here?" Mr. Brenner asked with wide eyes. "Also, you're late!"

Doc brushed his coat off and walked forward, swinging his cane around. "We used a gate." The blind man explained. "Below the manor, inside Grove's basement, we have our main base, where I was slowly restoring Kevin." He trapped his cane on the glass box containing the boy. "That realm has two gates. One is the basement, and the other is here. It's so if the mayor is ever attacked, he can hop through the gate inside this machine I built and escape, then he has a door directly back to his manor."

"Why didn't I know about it?" Brenner asked, frowning.

"We didn't trust you with it." Doc chuckled. "Fear not, though you know now." The officer just grumbled as he shook his head. "So, Mr. Grove, or should I call you Sunshine? What do we do now?"

"That's a good question." The mayor stood up and walked over to the glass container that held the body of Wish. "The Pod is still at our base?"

"Correct. I couldn't bring it with us." The Doc nodded.
