Chapter 13: What Happens in Reno, Stays in Reno Part 2
Back in the bowling alley, the finals have continued and now they're at the final frame of the tournament.
"This is it. It's all going to come down to this final frame," Dylan says.
Soon, Pete is up first for the final score. Everyone watches with suspense, Wanda and Wendy included. Jazz is there as well, who has joined with the two women so she'll be out of harm's way.
"You got this, Pete," Pete says to himself.
And with that, Pete then throws the ball down the lane and it rolls until it reaches the pins and knocks them down. Everyone watches as the suspense kicks in as the bowling ball hits the pins. However, only one continues wobbling, but soon enough, the pin still stands.
And with that, Wade shouts, "Yes! I love you, pin!"
"Oh, for heaven's sakes," Pete mutters.
Soon, Gary announces, "That miss gives Wade a chance. If he can get a strike here, he could win the tournament. "
Wade sits down and clears his throat, "You should pick up this spare, no problem. "
"Wow!" Dylan replies and laughs.
Gary also laughs.
Dylan then says, "Those are fightin' words right there. Sick dig! Someone's about to get slapped!"
Gary laughs, " Great use of the term 'sick dig,' by the way."
Pete soon picks up his ball and rolls the bowling ball again down the lane. And soon, the bowling ball hits the pin and earns Pete a spare.
"Unflappable," Wade replies.
"This is so dramatic," Dylan says.
Then Dylan says, "Because as it comes down to this, if Wade Whipple bowls another strike, he'll be on his way to a perfect game and a tournament championship. Not to mention an emotional victory over the man who left him a fatherless, stunted, utter shell of a human being. Okay..."
Then Gary says, "And the question is, does Wade have the strength to finish this fight?"
Pete then approaches Wade, "Well, do you, dear boy? Are you strong enough to strike down your own father in battle? To do whatever it takes to claim that championship trophy? Or are you just another schmuck with a nickname?" He then scoffs, "Wade the Warrior?" And laughs.
"Oh, I know I'm strong enough, Dad," Wade says.
"Really?" Pete questions.
Then Wade says, "Because all my life, I've learned from great warriors. Hm. I learned from a mother who never stopped fighting for her family. I learned from her sister, who's honestly a little bit annoying, but amazingly fearless and headstrong. But most of all, I learned from the greatest warrior in the entire galaxy, who taught me that real warriors wouldn't exist if not for those who came before them, showed them the way, and never stopped fighting, no matter how hard the battle became. That's why I never would've found my greatest strength, my true power, without my friend, Knuckles the Echidna."
"Now, Dylan, normally it doesn't take this long for bowlers to bowl," Gary says.
And Dylan says, "Yeah, I agree, Gary. It seems as though he is monologuing. That's highly unorthodox."
"Nice speech. But you left out one small detail. You're a loser, Wade," Pete says, "You always have been, and you always will be."
Wade then picks up his bowling ball, "Well, would a loser do this?"
And with that, Wade takes a deep breath and throws the bowling ball. The bowling ball rolls down the lane, and soon, hits the bowling pins. Nine out of ten are knocked down instantly. However, one of them wobbles all over, making the very last round tense. The pin wobbles more as everyone watches, the suspense is about ready to break. And the last pin falls down to the ground, earning Wade a strike.
With that, Wade cheers, "Yes!"
The audience claps and cheers, especially Wade and Wanda.
Even the anchormen are surprised and amazed, "Oh! Unbelievable! Oh! The upstart has done it!"
The realization hit them, "Oh, my God, I did it! I won!" He soon gets down on his knees and cheers, "I'm a champion!"
Just then, something bursts through the wall, to reveal Knuckles who has fallen on the alley, and Eve, who is curled up in the ball, hits the wall, and lands on the alley before uncurling herself.
Both Dylan and Gary react in shock, "Whoa! Duck!
Everyone in the audience becomes shocked to see and witness what happened.
Knuckles? Eve?" Wade asks, shocked.
"Wade Whipple! Get your people to safety before they-" Knuckles says.
Just then, something grabs Knuckles and drags him out through the hole.
"Knuckles!" Eve cries out.
Eve turns to Wade, "Wade, get everyone to safety. I gotta help Knuckles!"
Eve then spin dashes through the hole to face her and Knuckles' attacker.
Everyone begins screaming and panicking as they run away in fear. Susie is frightened that she isn't able to move, but her father reaches her and is able to get her away from the incident.
Wendy calls out, "Wade! Where are you going?"
"To help my friends!" Wade calls out and runs outside to find them.
Wade calls out, "Knuckles? Eve?"
What he sees is Even using her spin dash at the robot as the robot has Knuckles on the other hand. Eve spin dashes hard in order to free Knuckles, but the robot is able to stop her and throws her across the streets, making her crash into the wall close to where Wade is.
"Eve!" Wade cries out and rushes over, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Eve says and barely able to get up, "But Knuckles is in trouble.
But Knuckles calls out, "Wade! Eve! Stay back!"
"Okay, the stakes have been raised considerably," Wade says to himself.
"Don't worry, Echidna," The buyer says, "This'll all be over soon. All I need is..."
He then uses some devices from the robot and heads towards the Echidna.
"... every ounce of your power," The buyer concludes.
And with that, the buyer uses the devices to zap Knuckles, siphoning his powers.
Wade and Eve cry out, "Knuckles!"
"What are you doing to them?!" Knuckles cries out.
Soon enough, Knuckles has their powers drained until he loses consciousness. "Your power is mine," The buyer says. Your only purpose now... is to die!"
He then throws Knuckles aside.
"Knuckles!" Eve cries out and is able to catch him.
Wade rushes to them, "Knuckles! Buddy!"
Eve shakes him, "Knuckles, wake up! Please, wake up!"
Then Eve glares at him, "What did he do to you?"
Soon the buyer approaches them, "You caused me a lotta trouble. Now I'm gonna make you pay. After I train every ounce of power from the hedgehog."
Furious about this, Wade stands up as he sighs, "You think you're so tough, hiding behind that metal onesie you're wearing? I'm not scared of you. Come and get me!"
Then the buyer's robot begins to approach them.
"Okay, I was bluffing," Wade says.
As Wade begins walking back, he hears the sound of a horn. Soon, a bowling ball shaped car arrives with Wanda, Wendy, and Jazz inside.
Wendy lowers the sunglasses, "Whoa! Somebody call for backup?"
Wade laughs.
Wanda does the same, "We thought you could use a hand," and brings out the power gloves.
Wade gasps with a smile, "God, that was a good line."
He then put the energized gloves on. He slams both fits together, making the gloves spark and energy sizzle.
Wade then picks up a bowling ball and says, "Alright, Wade. Let's do this," and there is a suspense.
Then turns to Eve, "You ready to do this, Eve."
"Ready," Eve says.
"Then let's roll," Wade says.
Wade then throws the bowling ball at the buyer's robot, and it earns a strike. As Eve strikes at the buyer while distracted.
Wade then says, "Knuckles, I hope you can hear this. You taught me how to stand up for myself and fight!" And throws another bowling ball at the robot as he remembers everything he went through, "And we're stronger than ever now..." and throws another bowling ball at the robot, "Because we fight together! A warrior's true strength comes from their heart."
Eve continues to strike at the buyer as Wade hits each bowling ball to distract him.
Wade continues, "And your heart has never been bigger! You fight to honor your family! You fight to protect your friends! And now, you have something new to fight for.... A home!"
Wade tries to pick up a bowling ball, but it is done.
"Looks like you're all out of balls!" The buyer says.
Then the buyer tries to strike Eve and Wade, but then Knuckles appears, grabs the cord and slams it to the ground.
"This is my home!" Knuckles declares.
The buyer tries to lash Knuckles with the other tentacle, but Knuckles grab the other. With that, Knuckles drinks back his powers.
The buyer notices his mech suit is draining. He cries out, No! No! My power!" and soon the machine begins shutting down.
With that, Knuckles slams the chains on the ground, and pounds his fists together to make his fists go up in flames.
"The Flames of Disaster!" Wade calls out.
The buyer growls in anger and screams, "Come on!"
Knuckles lets out a yell as he jumps and spins toward the buyer, slamming his fists at it. He then slams his fists at the machine, taking the robotic arms off. After a few fire punches, Eve and Wade notice the large crystal like bowling ball above the hotel.
"Finish him, Knucks!" Wade shouts.
Wade uses his glove to fire at the support beam and knock it down. Eve then speeds up and uses her sword to slash the beams off. As the ball falls, Knuckles grabs it, and throws it at the buyer and his machine with full force.
Soon, Knuckles slams his fire fist to the ground and says, "Victory is ours."
Back in the tournament bowling alley, Dylan and Gary come out from under the stand
Wow. Well, there you have it, folks. This proves what I've been saying all along. Absolutely anything can happen in the National Bowling Championships," Gary says.
And Dylan says, "You know, Gary, I looked it up, and actually, this has happened before. There was a visit by an extraterrestrial in the 1974 tourney, but I don't think he was red."
"Well, you might be right, but I'm gonna tell you, this time was a lot more fun. What a show tonight, people, "Gary says.
"So fun," Dylan says, but soon notices, "Oh! Looks like there's some more action down on the lanes."
Down after the chaos, Peter ends up taking the bowling trophy and laughs about it. Susie and her parents begin walking by.
Susie shouts, "Hey! That dork burger's stealing the trophy!"
Shut your gob hole, you little brat!" Pete says in a cockney accent.
"Oh no! Pistol Pete is stealing the trophy, and he lost the tourney! I don't know what the rule book says about this, Gary," Dylan says.
Pete soon begins to run away with the trophy, but is stopped by Wanda, Wendy, and Jazz.
"Oh, no, you don't. Take your hands off my son's trophy, you schmuck!" Wendy says, and gives Pete a hard punch in the face.
Jazz flies over and takes the trophy as Pete falls over and loses consciousness.
Wanda laughs"as she stomps her foot on Pete.
She then asks, "Mom, that was awesome! Ever think about joining the FBI?" and kicks Pete.
"Well, if it means I can spend more time with my daughter, I'd love to," Wendy says.
Jazz then flies to Wade. Wade happily takes the trophy. Then Jazz joins Wanda in kicking Pete. Eve chuckles to see that karma has come back to bite Pete in the face.
Knuckles says with a smile, "You did it, Wade Whipple! You won!"
"Buddy, we did it," Wade says.
And with that, the two give each other a high five.
Sometime later, Knuckles, Eve, Wade, and Jazz are now riding on the motorcycle and are heading back to Green Hills Montana.
Hey, Knuckles! How about some new road trip music?" Wade says, "I call this mix 'Knuckles and Wade Warrior Jammerz.'"
"Really, is it good?" Eve asks.
"You'll love it!" Wade says.
Soon, Wade plays the music on his phone.
"What is this amazing song,"
Song:
Oh...
"Could this be..." Knuckles replies.
Song:
Oh-oh-oh
Knuckles smiles and says, "Yes! This is... my jam!"
"Chao chao!" Jazz happily cheers.
Everyone laughs with smiles as they continue to ride the motorcycle into the sunset and back home.
Song:
Stereo jungle child
Love is the kill, your heart's still wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang bang
I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior
And heart to heart, you'll win
If you survive
The warrior...
