The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 27

~Elmore News

As the Elmore news theme plays, a makeup artist brushes makeup onto a man made of newspaper, who is the news anchor. He then shooed the makeup artist away and looked at the screen.

"Good evening. I'm Kip Schlezinger, and this is Elmore News. Our top story tonight involves Franklin Jr. High School, where multiple arrests have been made. Those arrested include former students, staff, and the now-disgraced Judge D. Moreau, whose real name is Isaac Caesar Wenier, also known as I.C. Weiner, is involved in this case."

Kip then glances away from the viewer with a look of disbelief, before turning back with his usual cheerful demeanor.

"We now turn to Michael Hills for more information."

We see Michael Hills reporting on the incident. Behind him is a massive hole where the school once stood, revealing a hidden lab beneath. Police are arresting the Franklin staff and students, who are now in their true forms (all looking similar to Carmen's design, but more like objects, fruits, or tools with stubby limbs and beady eyes), handcuffing them and placing them in police vehicles.

"Kip, I'm standing here where the former Franklin Jr. High used to be. They were planning to turn the kidnapped students into humans, and then into cyborgs, using this transmutation machine that is currently being disassembled and taken away."

Just then, Mike hears a scream and turns to see Moreau, shouting angrily and kicking as he struggles against the police who are trying to get him into a vehicle. This reminds Mike of a similar incident where the school expelled and arrested another student. Sheriff Watterson tasered Moreau and then punched him in the face. Slamming Moreau's face against the car, Metalball left a dent as Isaac shoved him inside the vehicle.

"NO! YOU RETARDED FOOLS! I was trying to stop him! This rotten town is GONING TO FALL INTO THE ABYSS BECAUSE OF TARTARUS!" The police car drives away as Isaac goes mad with rabies and foaming at the mouth.

"The former superintendent will now be spending a long time in a permanent detention facility, aka prison."Mike then walks toward Nicole and Metalball, who are about to leave the scene. He puts the microphone to his head, to Nicole's face. "Do you have anything to com-" Nicole slaps the microphone from the news reporter's hand, then walks away to her car to drive off.

"Back to you, ki- Hey!" Metalball grabs Mike's head and pushes it to his face.

"I'll take it from here, Michelangelo," Metal Ball declares, his voice brimming with confidence. "In short, I single-handedly dismantled the formidable giant scrap heap that they dared to call the ultimate weapon, Gamma."—a

When the pilot spat out threats, I shot back with a defiant, 'Go to hell, tin can!' Then, with a swift and calculated movement, I tore its titanium head open as easily as one would crack a can, unleashing its missiles back at him in stunning reverse fashion.

If you're interested, I can share the video I recorded—it's in slow motion for maximum impact." "That won't be necessary-" Mike gets cut off. "Too bad!" With a mischievous smile, Metal Ball takes control of the camera, showcasing Etahn as the missiles rain down upon him, creating a thunderous explosion that sends shockwaves through the air. The scene freezes at the perfect moment, focusing on Metal Ball, who points triumphantly with one hand while forming an 'L' with the other, depicting his foe as a loser—the visual brilliantly juxtaposed with the absurdity of a battle-hardened pilot sounding like a wailing dying warthog. It was nothing short of hilarious.

The imagery shifts back to Metal Ball, who now grips the microphone with purpose."That's about it, for my story." Metal Ball sounded cocky.

"What are your opinions of this 'Tartarus' the former superintendent spoke of?" Mike asked curiously.
