And now, since PMA came back, we have the chapter where... PMA comes back!
-----
Now, usually you would expect a warm-hearted hug or even just a simple greeting when you finally get to see an old buddy of yours after so many years. But this wasn't the case, nope not at all. I thought that certainly he would experience the same joy of meeting an old friend as I do, finally being able to meet PMA again after all these years, but what do I get? A rather quick paced game of "shoot the Box" where I jumped from wall to wall dodging PMA's Mega Energy Blast attacks, until frankly I had no more walls to jump to.
"Well, it was nice meeting with you again, bully, but I'm afraid if you keep on shooting me I'm gonna have to leave this part of area, for the sake of safety!" I told him and bid goodbye.
"You aren't getting away that easily, demon!!" And again he began charging his blaster, cock and aim towards me. I stood and waved, and upon his firing I prepared to leave and never see him again.
However, a psychic gripped my leg and I tripped. Luckily, the blast went right over me, but of course the tripping came as a surprise to me, as I didn't expect PMA to be able (or be smart enough) to do that.
And I found out it was in fact another blue haired lady that walked up and must have executed the attack.
"Oh PMA," The blue haired lady said. "Didn't I tell you not to shoot everything that moves around here? It's obvious he's not one of the minions of Darkmaster Ash."
"Sabrina?? What are you doing here?? I told you, it's too dangerous for you to be around and I'll be fine by myself."
"Yea," Sabrina remarked sarcastically, "fine shooting your old time buddies instead of actually chasing DMA." PMA took a closer look at me. "Oh... It's you." I stood up and brushed myself.
"I'm glad you came to your senses, my good fellow. Here's to a reunion greeting!" I stuck out my hand, expecting a shake back. PMA just turned around. "I have more important things to do. I cannot be bothered with this..."
"Person who blew up the ASB Tower many years ago??" PMA got one of those little cross thingies on his forehead. "O yea, I need a place to stay for the night... As you can see, I'm kinda stuck, mind if I..."
"NO!!" PMA yelled, and flew away.
"Guess he doesn't want me in his residence." I shrugged and began to walk away.
"Wait, I know a place that you might be able to stay," Sabrina pipped up.
-----
"KINLAP OL' BUDDY!! How have you been??" The two old friends hugged.
"Fine Fine, running a nice park business, developing some cool bracelets for me and PMA to wear, fighting some crime and evil with PMA... though he seems to find me more of a nuicance lately these days..." Kinlap pondered.
"What IS up with that guy anyway? Some welcome he gave me." I pouted.
"He..." Sabrina sighed. "He's really a very nice fellow. As far as what I've gathered from his history, he came this planet when he was a child, alone and no one to take care of him. He wandered the streets for a while, until he was saved one day by this man in blue armor. Something like the armor he wears around now... well anyway, then you came along and tried to blow up the tower. Ash was apparently affected by this hero that he himself wanted to become one, and so that's why he went after you to try and stop you. Its something like child idolness..."
"I think it's still in him," I commented.
"Yea, it is." Kinlap continued Sabrina's story. "Well anyway, shortly after the four of us met, of course, you and the popcorn selling kid left. Since PMA was pretty much an orphan at that time, my family took him up and raised him. From then on until recently, we did many things together: developed cool bracelets, fight crime alongside, and that sort of stuff. Only, he always seemed to want to get the attention and fame of 'defeating the bad guy' and 'being the hero', which was perfectly fine with me, until recently. Now, he's working alone; he no longer wants anyone to help him. Consequently, something else came out of him... While the times were quiet and no crime was going around, a shadowy figure began to appear and begin causing trouble, and when PMA confronted him, he saw..."
"Himself," Sabrina finished. "I'm not sure, but I think it must have been some psychological effect, like PMA's desire to beat up things coupled with his sense of honor and loyalty... somewhere there must have been a split, and now he's like this. But that's only my guess."
"Enough about him, I'm sure you're tired. Let me bring you up to your room." Kinlap walked me to the nice bedroom in his mansion.
-----
I wasn't exactly as tired as Kinlap had thought I was. After all, there was a huge time difference travelling between dimensions, and days in my training dimension were almost twice as long as these days. So, needless to say, I got up and begn roaming around without waking Kinlap and the others. I took out a sheet of paper that had "Fei" (fly) inscribed on it and attached it to my wrist, then flew to the area I sat the time just before I blew up the ASB Tower, and gazed at the moons. They were similar to those in the former dimension, as all moons are: mysterious, illuminating, enchanting. Nevertheless, each moon was different, and it was a pleasure finally seeing a different moon in a different world...
"What are you up to?" I looked to my side and saw PMA, arms crossed. "Are you planning to demolish the building again? If you are, I'm not letting you."
I smirked. "Could you catch me if I was?" I started to fly towards the tower, but PMA immediately blocked my path. I flew above him and continued, then went around the tower and me and PMA played tag as we did in the early days, only now we flew. It was quite some fun, until some shadow stalkers and dark minions interrupted and attacked us.
"Get Away!! These are Dangerous!!" PMA told me in a heroic manner, though I frankly was willing to listen to him. After all, who wants to get their hands tangled with a bunch of freakish nightmares like them?
"PMA transform into Fightmaster Ash!!"
And PMA began fending off some of the minions, but apparently the creatures didn't see PMA as their only target. Some of them began coming after me, and soon after I had shadow stalkers coming from above (remember, I was right beside the ASB Tower) and minions coming from below and in front (some can fly!!).
"Hey guys, let me through!! I'm not your target!!" But I knew they wouldn't listen, so I quickly slipped through into my hands a leafletc, holding my hands in a upside-down cup like form to guise the spell. One of the the shadow stalkers grabbed the hand.
"So, you wanna see what's inside? WUDIN GUAN GONGJI!!" A bright spiralatic trail of five blasts of light hit and attacked the shadow stalkers above me, immediately dissipating them to nothingness.
"Sorry, love to play, but I'd much rather watch." I took out the inscription "Xiao" and attached it to my shoulder and disappeared from the view of my attackers. I immediately flew up (as the shadow stalkers that were above me have perished) and sat on the side of the ASB Tower, watching the battle go on below.
It was quite fun, much like a Jackie Chan movie, watching PMA toss the bad guys like they do when 500 bad guy flunkies take on one hero. One thing I thought he'd have trouble on is the shadow stalkers, but that didnt' seem to faze him.
"Heh, think you can be immune to me with your shadow bodies?" PMA stated arrogantly as he was grabbed by one of the shadows at the arm. "Sesmic Toss!!" He, in a startling manner, pulled the shadow from the walls and flung it across the street. "Low Kick!" he executed as another tried to grab him on the leg, and he quickly tossed that one aside as well.
However, dispite his nice antics, he soon enough was captured by the shadow stalkers and was held in a rather tight situation.
"Haw haw haw haw haw." Some guy's laugh sounded a lot like he needed a cough drop.
"Who's there?" PMA asked bravely (or foolishly, pick your choice of adverbs).
What emerged from the shadows was... a large shadow. It was amorphous, figureless, all but two sinister looking yellow glowing eyes. "My name... is Evil Master, and you have fallen straight into my trap." Evil Master laughed his sickly (as in, he sounded as if he was ill) laugh again.
"You work for Darkmaster Ash, don't you?? Don't get too cocky," PMA said ironically. "I may just have to bust out and use..."
"But you won't." Said a voice that sounded a lot like PMA (twice the egoness!!). It was, of course, DMA, with Sabrina in his clutches. Sabrina, try as she might, could not get away. "Actually, I've been working for this fellow shadow here, not the other way around. And if you try anything, your little wife gets it. Why can't she teleport away? Why, because I gave her the Mean Look, of course." DMA smirked.
At this point, I could tell PMA was in real trouble. Despite all his egotism and wanting to deal damage, he at least had enough honor left in him to protect the one that he loved... and with that, he stopped struggling and just glared at the Evil Master.
"That's a good fellow..."
SSSssss. "YEEOOOCCHHH!!!" A slip with the incantation of Guang (Light) had somehow struck the arm of DMA that was holding onto Sabrina. Then, in a blink of an eye, Sabrina disappeared from sight.
"What the--?!? But she couldn't have!! I trapped her with my spell, she couldn't have teleported away!!"
"But she did." PMA smirked. "PMA transform into ANGEMASTER ASH!!" The bright flash of light was enough to destroy all of the minions and shadows holding PMA down, and make Evil Master cringe.
"Arg... you escaped this time, but next time will not be so easy." Evil Master tried slipping into the shadows, but then suddenly a shine went through and he hit a wall. "What the?!?"
"You're blocked out," PMA stated obviously, "With no where to go. HYPER BEAM(ish attack)!!" With a bright flash of light, the Evil Master with a sore through cackled his last cackle and fell into oblivion, for now.
Meanwhile, up on another tower (ASB Tower #2 was destroyed with Evil Master blew up), Sabrina wanted to go back down and help her lover, but I pulled her back.
"You were ruining the show before, and I don't want you to go ruin it again. Let's see what PMA does now..."
"Let go of me!! I need to go help him!!" And so, the annoying Sabrina who I saved went back down to ruin the whole cool fighting scene that was supposed to happen with PMA and DMA. O well.
"Wait!!" Sabrina lunged onto PMA like a cheap soap opera show, quickly stopping PMA from delivering the last blow to DMA.
"I thought you teleported to safety," PMA said coldly.
"If you destroy DMA, you'll destroy yourself!!"
"What?"
"The reason he exists," Sabrina continued with her philosophical ideas, "is that he's a part of you... and even though he's your darker side, he's still you. A light cannot live without a dark. Bring him back into you. Please. Just keep closer watch over him and make sure he doesn't go on a rampage as he did to you... I think maybe we can do that by calling over... a couple of friends."
Sabrina was probably referring to me, but, as the battle was already over, I had begun to leave already.
"Oh well, let's get ready for the next adventure..." I snapped my fingers.
Immediately a huge spaceship flew straight over my head and landed a few feet in front of PMA.
"Woah, that was cool."
