Episode 8: Morale Booster!




after EPISODE 8: Armor Menace



(While Heavy Metal is sleeping, he has a nightmare)

Father: I will have to put an end to you! (His mech’s fists starts glowing)

Mother: You honestly think you can beat me! (She laughs and destroys some buildings using a bazooka)

Father: Will you please stop this! Our son is around here and could be watching!

Mother: You let him out here… you fool but then again, I don’t mind a witness for your death. Matter of fact, I’ll leave no survivors!

Father: You can’t seriously mean that… Come on, it’s not too late. This is not you… what happened!? You never had these abilities before; Who did this too you!!

Mother: *gasps* You dare mock me? I did this of my own free will! I purposely married you, and hunted down everyone of your family members because you are considered a potential threat (Laughs hysterically)

Father: No… I will not believe it but whatever you are, I will not let you kill our children!!

Mother: Well, at least you can die without a guilty conscience! This will be self defense.

(He shoots a powerful green beam at her and it deflects. He dashes up to her, she teleports behind him and she teleports behind him and shoots a laser cannon through his cockpit)

Heavy Metal: (Runs over to see what’s going on) Father? Mother… what did you do!?

Mother: Well, he died heroically in… battle!! (Laughs)

Heavy Metal: You cannot possibly be… my mother!

Mother: (Builds rage)You think a mere child can beat me? Look, you only have a hunk of junk with one arm. That weapon arm leaves you so defenseless!

(She charges at him and he wakes up yelling)

Heavy Metal: What!? Huh?... why today of all days must I have a dream like that… well, I guess I should go back to the agency… I messed up pretty bad, I wonder how today will end.


(Heavy Metal goes in the office)

Boss: I’m sorry to say this, going to have to fire you right here on the spot for security purposes.

Heavy Metal: I understand.

Boss: You’re going to have to try to rebuild your reputation or lay low for a while. I’m sure someone is exploiting what you said about being in the Dark Army. Don’t do anything hasty but, I’ve never seen you this disoriented in your life.

Heavy Metal: Don’t worry… I feel a whole lot better now. I know what I must do.

Boss: Are you sure?

Heavy Metal: You know about what happened a couple months before I joined the agency right?

Boss: Yeah…

Heavy Metal: Well, Evette found out half of the truth and thinks I’m a killer.

Boss: Whoa… what are you going to do now?

Heavy Metal: I’m not worried about dealing with her right now. I’m going to focus on my true goal! I’m going to find a way to end this war before it gets more out of hand then it already is!

Boss: Well, that’ll be something.

Heavy Metal: Hey, were the mechanics ever able to find me a suitable weapon?

Boss: Yes… you should go check it out… if you happen to see my son before you’re hired again, defeat him and try to knock some since in his hard head.

Heavy Metal: Yes sir! (Walks out) He acts like someone is spying on him. I wonder why he doesn’t want anyone to know he’s his brother… I’ll just have to figure it out later.

(When he approaches mechanic)

Mechanic: Awwwwww- snap!! I heard what you did. Bold move man.

Heavy Metal: Look, did you find me a good gun?

Mechanic: Check this baby out! (They both look at his mech) This is a high caliber Chain gun, or Vulcan… it’s the only one to rival the Red Vulcan. Here’s the trick to it. Its barrels rotate so quickly that it sparks after the sixth shot but…

Heavy Metal: Uh-huh.

Mechanic: The ammo is actually stored inside your arm so try not to get it banged up too much or… boom, that whole side of your mech could be taken out. When you want to use the gun, you’ll have to extend the barrels out from the wrists of your mech.. It has barrels like a chain gun but its light and is attaches to your hand like a Vulcan.

Heavy Metal: What about if my sister blows it up.

Mechanic: It’s designed to break into three pieces as upon impact. I know you can’t fix stuff with your mechs abilities effectively but I’m sure you’ll be able to connect three measly parts back on the outside of your wrists. Now, all I have to do is attach it to your mechs right arm.

Heavy Metal: Attach?

Mechanic: It’s real easy since it seems like the right arm of your mech used to be a machine gun arm to specifically hold the legendary and rare, Red Vulcan.

Heavy Metal: I refuse to accept that!!

Mechanic: Huh?

Heavy Metal: I will not allow you to alter that arm!

(The Boss walks in)

Boss: Stop being a baby!

Heavy Metal: You know damn well that’s the arm I used to shoot at my mother’s mech. It is not becoming a chain gun arm again!!

Boss: Calm down! I know you’re in a mess but you have to let go of the past. You had no choice and besides, the chain Vulcan is attached to your wrists; it’s not your whole arm this time.

Heavy Metal: I-I… fine. I need a new weapon anyway. Thanks a lot.

Mechanic: Oh, and try not to use up too much ammo. Since you’re not working legally anymore, we can’t repair your mech.

Heavy Metal: Thanks for the tip… (He leaves)

(Walks around the block)

Heavy Metal: *Feeling a bit disoriented* Now where should I…

King pin: Freeze!

Heavy Metal: Jeeze! I didn’t even leave the area and I’m already being hassled.

King pin: No one as shady as you gets away from the King pin… I was thinking, I need a carrier pigeon like you around.

Heavy Metal: You can’t be serious?

King pin: Anyone that can pull a stunt like that and lives to tell about it is a man I want.

Heavy Metal: I’ll have to reject your offer… (Smiles and turns around) see you later. (Continues walking)

(A couple minutes later, he notices some mechs following him)

Heavy Metal: (Gets in his mech) What is it now!?

Gang member 1… we need you and we needs you now. (Starts swinging the chain)

Gang Member 2: Yeah man… we’s gonna use you... Tony, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

Heavy Metal: Oh brother… a couple of thugs in some mechs think they can beat me

Gang Member 1: We’re gangstas… come on Smith!


Heavy Metal dashes behind a building. Tony follows him and strike him with the chain, Heavy Metal then grabs the chain on the second attack and they start wrestling for it. Smith comes from behind with the Metal pole and strikes him in his back. Tony then wraps the chain around Heavy Metal’s mech.

Tony: I told you this was gonna be easy!!

Heavy Metal: *Thinking* Would you look at that, they think I’m cattle…I didn’t want to use this… (He extends the barrels from out the right hand arm)

Smith: Yeah, you were right

(Heavy metal shoots three shots at Tony’s mechs head. The barrel rotates, destroys the chain wrapped around him and the bullets go straight through Tony’s mech. )

Heavy Metal: *Excited* Yeouch… I didn’t know I was packing heat like that and it didn’t even recoil…. amazing

Smith: I’m outta here!! (He runs)

Ignoble Knight: After that beautiful display of battle, if I can’t have you then I must destroy you once and for all.

To be continued…
