Slot Boy
"Hahahahah! Eheheheh!! So trying our luck are we!?" said Slot Boy dancing around in the air. "Shall we pull the good ol' lever!?"
"What the hell is that!? Chompa Chompa!!" said Chompani.
Stoor sighed. "I really hate using this power you know..."
"Hate me all ya like! I'm not going away any time soon!!" Slot Boy exclaimed. "Now hurry up and try yer luck!!"
2 months ago...
"Hey... Sora! It's felt like too long!" Narina waved at Sora as he walked into the Shuttle Port Gate, his luggage slung over his shoulder, grinning.
It had indeed felt like ages since Sora had gone on his trip to Italy to visit relatives, and it was good to see each other after so long instead of just exchanging emails and video calls. Narina's Special Ops team, Phantom Crow, by suggestion of the Powers Society higher ups, had requested Sora work with them on Narina's second ever mission, which was the dethroning of a a warlord in Egypt.
Jack had gone with Narina, wearing his usual shades and batman t-shirt, grinning as he shook Sora's hand. "Heard a lot of good things from New Girl here.. you're an electric user too right?"
"Nowhere near Narina's level, but yeah." said Sora.
"Sora.. this is Jack Nils, the Swarmer. Jack, this is Sora.. which I've probably told you everything about by now."
"She's a good girl." said Jack. "Scary strong too, but I have to admit, she's doing pretty well for a newbie, even if she was an Emperor."
Narina blushed slightly. "Hey, don't go exaggerating..."
"Being as honest as I can." said Jack. "Anyways, welcome to Egypt Sora, we've got all your equipment set up and ready for you. Just come over to the back and-"
"Rrrrmmmblee.."
A sudden trembling sound began to resound...
Jack froze.
"What's that? Minor Earthquake?" Narina muttered.
"Not since the Roswel Incident.." muttered Jack. "But I know that rumble..."
"RrrrrrrmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBLLLLLLEEE!!!"
"GET DOWN!!!!" Jack roared.
It happened in slow motion... Sora watched, his eyes wide with horror, as a ginormous part of the ceiling crashed down... falling towards Narina....
Narina wouldn't turn Prism Dragon in time.. and even though she was immensely durable for a human.. 10 tons of metal and rubble wouldn't be pretty.
"NOOOOO!!!" Sora roared, jumping in front of Narina as an electric spark blasted into the air.. and metal began to gather around it.....
Slot Boy appeared, laughing as rubble fell all around them.. obscuring Sora and Narina..
"NARINA!!! SORAA!!" roared Jack as his robot swarm buzzed up around him. "DAMN!! That rock is too heavy for my bots to penetrate!!"
From the cieling, a giant being made of stone bricks appeared.. with massive arms.. and a well hewn face, it looked almost aztec-ish..
"Golem." said Jack with a snarl. "What the hell!? Didn't we put you away last week!?"
"Don't really recall.." said a slow deep voice..as a muscular man's top half emerged from chest of the giant moving statue.. he had grey hair and a well lined face... and his eyes seemed deep and bored...
Golem grinned slightly. "The guards need to up their A-game.. there hasn't been an escape from GalVant prison in what... 100 years?
Jack grinned and glared at Galvant. "Well.. you're about to die instead of going back to prison you scum. I actually kind of liked that newbie!!!"
"KKKKKKABBBBBBBBBOOOOOM!!!!"
Suddenly there was a ginormous blast of rubble... Slot Boy rose from the dust, cackling in his metallic echoing voice. "WOW!! That actually almost hurt! You alright Sora brat!? We've got some payback to be dishing out!!"
Sora emerged from the dust below Slot Boy, panting, supporting Narina, who was bleeding from the forehead.
"Wh-what the hell!?" Narina stammered. "What is that!?"
"Slot Boy, a power I try not to talk about." said Sora. "Slot Boy has his own powers, about 250 of them. However, I'm allowed to use one of them.. with a price..."
"Price!?" stammered Narina.
"Depending on the slot results.. I allow either Slot Boy to be in control of my consciousness for a certain amount of time.. or I am.... say I get two 7s and a cherry.. Slot Boy gets control of my consciousness.. for 2 hours a day for 3 days, while using the power I picked.... if I get full 7s... I get full control... and the power I picked for 5 hours." said Sora.
"S-so there's multiple results.." Narina said.. trying to think through her apparent injury. "What's the worst?"
"Three skulls, Slot Boy gets control of my consciousness 24/7 for a week, with the power I chose.." said Sora.
"So.. will you take the chance?" said Slot Boy with a greedy chuckle.
"What the hell is that thing?" Muttered Golem.
Sora grabbed the crank on the side of Slot Boy's head, and turned it. "Give me power number 12.."
"Mega Super Strength!? You've got it!!" said Slot Boy, as suddenly the slots on his chest spun, making lottery noises as it did..
"CHIN! CHIN! CHIN!!!" One by one, each slot stopped spinning to reveal a big blazing red seven.
"Bingo.." said Sora with a grin, as he stood up, his body glowing as Slot Boy sent a green aura to his body with his metal hands..
With that.. Sora ran forward.. and sent a rock shattering punch exploding into Golem's massive statue body...
Present Day.
Narina stood watching cautiously as Sora and Slot Boy blocked Senes and Chompani's path..
Years ago, when Sora was little, he had created a character for a comicbook he liked to draw. The comic was about a demon who had possessed a slot machine and owned a casino.. however.. after a traumatic experience where he watched his mother get murdered... he had developed Multiple Personality Disorder. Slot Boy became Sora's other personality.. A terrible mischievous devil who would take over whenever Sora was stressed...
And the worst part of it was.. Sora was an Accidental.. and one of the most powerful of them.. a Pychotic..
Pyschotics were immensely rare super humans... beings whose minds allowed them to bend space and time, and gave them multiple powers.. shape shifting, incredible strength.. the abilities tended to number in the hundreds..
And due to the personality disorder.. the Slot Boy persona was the only one who used the powers...
And Slot Boy had terrorized people by the thousands... his powers ripping apart entire villages, towns.. cities.. mutant beasts.. even dragons were rumored to have suffered against the rampages...
Then.. by the recommendation of one of the last first age heroes.. Mighty Man, Sora went through the rebirth program.. gaining electric abilities.
The electric powers he possessed were used to seal the Alternate Personality in an area of his brain.. a spark..... and using hypnosis, Sora was able to craft an agreement with his alternate persona..
And so this system of power was born. Slot Boy's body was pretty much just crafted from metal objects in the area, while his mind was the electric spark containing the cluster of memories that created him...
One of Slot Boy's powers in particular was essential to this plan.. however... "
Narina narrowed her eyes.. eyeing Slot Boy as Sora put a hand on the crank. This next part.. was up to her..
"Give me Tracker Fists.." said Sora.
"Ya bet!!" said Slot Boy as his slots began to spin....
Narina watched with bated breath... her diamond scales sparking slightly from nerves...
Then...
"CHIN!! CHIN!! CHINN!!!" Three blazing red skulls...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Slot Boy let out a maniacal laugh. "Tough luck kid!! It's my turn to take over!!!"
"D-damn!!" growled Sora as suddenly, Slot Boy's body opened up like a safe.. and swallowed him whole...
There was a deathly clang as Slot Boy's body closed.. and he grew in size.. becoming up to 18 feet tall.. his legs and arms growing large so that he could stand instead of levitate.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!! YESSSS!!!" Slot Boy roared, his eyes glowing bright. "FREEDOM!!! For one whole week!! NOTHING BUT CHAOS!!!!"
"Chompa... Chompa.. what the HELL is that!?" Chompani roared.
"Interesting.. some sort of power I've never seen before.." said Senes. "Do you intend to fight us?"
"FIght you!? AHAHAHA! As if.. You're causing chaos.. I love that... You go on whatever genocide mission you like-.." Slot Boy began
"Excuse me? Did I really just hear you say that?"
Slot Boy's eyes flickered at the sound of the voice.. he turned his head 180 degrees like an owl, and gave a metallic stutter. "N-NARINA!?"
"Hey Slot.. behaving?" said Narina with a deep glare..
"C-crap!! Sora didn't mention you were here!!!" Slot Boy roared. "Damn it!! I'm not letting you decide what the hell I get to do or not-".
"Is that back talk?" Narina whispered, holding up her talons and letting sparks ripple from them. "You know what I can do to that electric mind of yours.. right?"
"F-f-fu-"
"Swear or cuss and I'll add plenty of pain for that.." Narina growled.
"Gosh... Darn.. it.. Oh hell with it!" roared Slot Boy.
Before Narina.. and before the Rebirth... Sora was afraid of Slot Boy.... but thanks to Slot Boy's new metal and electric dependent body.. Narina found thanks to her amazing prodigy-level she had the ability to inflict incredible pain upon the strange being...
And because of this.. Narina became the only person who could control Slot Boy.
"What do you want me ta do? Dance then? My queen!?" said Slot Boy mockingly.
"You know what powers Sora asked for.. use em you dumbo!" Narina growled.
"Ek.. fine! At least I can still have fun!!!" said Slot Boy, turning to face Senes and Chompani. "Sorry folks.. guess I'm fightin' ya after all!!! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"
Slot Boy lunged himself at Senes and Chompani.. "TRACKER FISTS!!!!"
Slot Boy launched a glowing green punch with one of his now massive metal fists at the two androids as Senes leaped out of the way, keeping a tight hold on the armless Chompani.
"Damn.. he's fast for his size." said Senes as Slot Boy's fist collided with the ground, creating a ginormous blast with the impact of his fist.
Suddenly Slot Boy leaped into the air after Senes so fast.. that he appeared to be a blur in the air.
"WHAT!?" stammered Sene. "That huge bulky metal body.. it shouldn't be possible!!-"
"Really?" whispered a metallic voice..
Senes's head turned just in time to see Slot Boy right behind him.. cackling as he aimed a green glowing fist..
"Boo.." said Slot Boy with a tiny metallic chuckle.
"POOOOOWWWWW!!!" Senes was sent hurling into the earth with a tremendous crash... rupturing the earth...
"Wh-when did he get behind me.." Senes grunted, staggering to his feet.. dropping Chompani.
"CHOMPA!! Don't fight.. RUN!! We can't fight in this state!!" Chompani roared.
"Ughh?" Senes suddenly felt something strange on his shoulder... he looked to see there was a glowing green glow clinging there...
"KAAABOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"
There was a ginormous explosion that caused the very air to ripple.. as the area in Senes's shoulder exploded..
Senes fell to one knee, panting.. his entire left arm was gone.. leaving one giant gaping smoking hole where sparking circuits and cybernetic muscles could be seen. "Wh-what!?"
"Tracker Fists.. one of my hundreds off abilities.." said Slot Boy as he stomped over... his large metal stubby feet shaking the round. "When I punch a foe.. I not only am able to create a psycho-kinetic shockwave, I'm also able to use psychic power to leave a Tracker Mine where I punched.. that I can detonate any time I wish.. when it detonates.. it causes damage twice as powerful as my initial shockwaves.. but it will also grow in power if left to fester for a few hours.. heheheh."
"This guy.. whatever he is.." muttered Senes. "Is not normal.. we need to retreat... Chompani.. send a signal to Scalaknight.. he needs to provide cover.. we're out of here..."
"You ain't runnin!!!" Roared Slot Boy ramming another punch, that barely grazed and missed Senes who ran off, carrying Chompani with his remaining arm.. while Chompani's head opened near the top to reveal an extendable antennae, signalling a retreat to Scalaknight, who was already attempting to escape Violet.
Senes ran off into the wilderness, exhausting all the speed he good.. as he ran.. Slot Boy glared at Narina. "That good enough?"
"Yeah... you have their signal?" said Narina.
"Yep.. trackin' em now." grunted Slot Boy.
Narina gritted her teeth. She hated leaving Slot Boy in control, but even though she could force Slot Boy to put Sora back in control, she couldn't override the mental "contract" forged between Sora and Slot Boy, which was an agreement on who would get the powers requested. If Slot Boy gave Sora back his consciousness after a 3 Skulls draw, the Tracker Fist powers would disappear, and they would be in a bind..
The Tracker Fist.. one of Slot Boy's many abilities, considered to be the 25th power. It not only created shockwaves and detonating psychic bombs, but it had a lesser known ability too.
The Tracker Mines were mentally connected to the user of the power, which meant as long as a mine remained undetonated, the power user could track the victim's location at all times.. in fact.. the bombs were invisible until they began to detonate, then they glowed..
Just now.. when Slot Boy's fist grazed Senes just barely, he had laid another Tracker Mine..
Check and Mate.
They just needed to keep Slot Boy active till they found the android base of operations..
"You know the drill." said Narina carefully. "Lead us to them like a good hound dog, then you release Sora immediately.. got it?"
"Hmph! Fine fine!!" roared Slot Boy. "But... please gal! Can't I destroy this place just a little-?"
"No!" growled Narina ferociously. "Unless you want more pain!?"
"Guh! S-sorry!" stammered Slot Boy, giving her a glowering look when he thought she wasn't looking.

"I can sense something.. electric.. and relating to my ancestry... coming to me.." said Ozone softly. "Hmmmm.. is it her? It has to be... "
Ozone chuckled and held out his palm.. letting flames dance upon it. "Come to me girl... I'm waiting right here...."
