Chapter 9

"Ray, do something! We'll be killed!" Tanya screamed in a gay way again.

"But I don't know anything! Not even kung fu! And I got no weapon!"

"Just do something!"

Ray ran and hid behind a tree.

"WE ARE SCREWED!", the mayor squeaked.

It seemed like certain death awaits our unlikely gathering of heroes, mayors and impossibly tall assistants. Until the IronMan came.

Like a shooting star, the IronMan flew at an impossibly high speed, leaving a trail of pink smoke. It seems like Mr Stark has added some aesthetic features into his IronMan flight.

IronMan hovered about a kilometre away from the gigantic machine and shot 55 missiles and 1 bullet. The 55 missiles effectively neutralized the 55 laser guns. MuJu JuJu suffered a headshot with the 1 bullet.

The crowd, which suddenly appeared on the streets even though buildings are still burning and collapsing, started cheering IronMan. They proclaimed him the new Hero of Townsville.

"Wait!" A squeak echoed through the streets.

The massive sea of humans made way for the short, i mean vertically-challenged, mayor to pass through.

"What are you going to do with the pollution you caused in my sky?"

"And I want purple smoke, not pink!"

------------------------------

"Tanya, get us back to to our dimension NOW" Ray said seriously.

"Well, I sure can't. I lost my wand in that thing just now. I can only use basic spells using a normal stick. I'll need a higher quality stick to cast stronger spells, like the amazing dimension traveling one just now."

"Can you like help me? I'll give you a lollipop if you want!" Bubbles pleaded.

Tanya remembered enough of her lessons at Hagworts Junior College of Magic to heal her sufficiently with a random stick nearby, at least ensuring that she's alive.

Blossom and Buttercup came soon enough.

"Oh, what long and sexy hair yo-" Buttercup said with amazement.

Blossom stopped her.

"Buttercup, its not polite to comment on people's bodies in the first meeting! Now, would you like to drop by our house for coffee? We'll like to offer our thanks you know." Blossom said while staring at Ray's hair.

Ray was getting uncomfortable with the attention he's getting. But unfortunately, the girls were already carrying him and Tanya off to a little house in the distance.

------------------------------

At the house, Ray saw a person in a white coat.

"Oh my god, don't tell me PAP is present even in Townsville?"

The man smiled.

"Nonono, I'm Prof Utopia!" he started. "My aim is to create a utopia for everyone!"

He lowered his voice. "In fact, I helped Stark in his IronMan thing!"

"What are your areas of interest in research then?" Tanya asked, curious about someone who uses science instead of easy magic. Seems like an idiot to her.

"Well, I'm doing more of inventing machines. I'm trying a Dimension Traveller, though it seems like its a total failure now."

The word "Dimension" rang a bell in Ray's head.

"Prof Utopia, you don't know how grateful we will be to you..."
