(HEAVY HIATUS) You'll be a Hero 2

Again?!

This is a request from venusaura...from a few months back. I feel really bad and sluggish. Also for people who made requests and want to make them, I'm gonna put them on hold for now and write my own ideas.

For a few days now, nothing's been happening. No monsters, no Sky Pirates. A supposedly peaceful day. But for Mao Mao . . . no sirree.

Despite having fun with Adorabat and Badgerclops for those days, he still felt bored afterwards. He would train, meditate, and try to watch the corny TV shows that don't stop airing. Training made him filled with adrenaline, and meditating calms the angers that burrow deep inside of him. Unfortunately, none of those options seemed to interest him.

Mao Mao decided to check on Badgerclops. He said he was gonna be in the garage messing with something. For once Mao Mao was curious.

He slid down the metal pole. "Hey Badgerclops. Just wanted to see what you were . . . doing . . . . "

Mao paused once he saw Badgerclops with something he shouldn't have. He was sitting at a wooden desk in a large circular chair with wheels at the bottom. He was doing something to that awful metallic crimson collar that Mao Mao THOUGHT he told him to get rid of! There was a compartment in the collar, and Badgerclops was tinkering with an electric box.

Badgerclops spun his chair around to look at Mao Mao.

"Sup dude. Don't mind me. I'm just trying to see if I could make this collar useful." He held it up to show Mao Mao. The sheer anxiousness Mao felt when he saw the collar in full view was suffocating him, ripping him to microscophic pieces. He scowls and clenches his hands into fists.

"Badgerclops. I thought I told you to throw that in a lake!" he said. Badgerclops opened his eye and rolled it. He looked so nonchalant.

"And let someone else find it and doom their society?" He scoffed. "Heck no. Besides, maybe once I program it to control multiple people at once, we can beat the Sky Pirates in a snap."

"B-But that would be dumb! There's no fun in that! It's just pure laziness!" Badgerclops's grip on the collar tightens.

"Are calling me lazy again? This is an efficient way to beat our enemies!"

"It's also a way to get yourself mind controlled! Again!" Mao mentioned.

"That was one time dude! And there's no way the Sky Pirates will get their hands on this collar." Mao Mao walked closer to Badgerclops and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you ABSOLUTELY sure about that?"

"Ugh, yes!" Mao stuck out his hand.

"Give me the collar. We can't have this dangerous object in HQ!" Badgerclops jerked his hands away, holding the collar protectively.

"No! It'll be helpful!" Mao Mao dashed onto Badgerclops's lap, trying to grab the collar away from him.

"No it won't! Just give it to me!" Badgerclops held the collar in his robotic arm, extending it to the ceiling. Mao Mao got in a squatting position so he could leap to the top of his arm, but the chair couldn't handle the weight and tipped backwards. Mao fell on top of Badgerclops.

He blushed, a warm feeling blossoming in his chest as he stared into Badgerclops's now opened eye. But the feeling of anger took over.

"Mao Mao, stop trying!" Badgerclops said. "I will genuinely throw you across this room if you don't—"

"I can't let you get hurt!" Badgerclops gasped a little. Mao Mao blushed deeper and felt his lip quiver. He got off of Badgerclops and looked away from him. He couldn't bare to think the Sky Pirates slipping that collar on his co-hero again. He didn't wanna choose to hurt him like last time.
