Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Return To The Real World

Becky: "Let's get it on!"

(Becky said as Allison hit resume and the fight began again and everyone began fighting the warriors again with all of their best attacks with no stop in sight.)

(As Max saw Allison's intense gaze as she munched down on the tortilla chips in front of her, his eyes strayed to the instruction booklet by the console.)

Max: "Sumo Slammer Smackdown."

(he read before he started reading the instructions.)

(Allison sliced through all of her warriors with her swords while Water Lily did the same with her water jets with no stop.)

(Becky used her arrows to destroy her warriors and Gwen sliced through them with her throwing star.)

(Ishiyama flipped upwards and collided with the larger samurai's attack.)

(Fortunately, he overpowered him and sent him through the floor before flipping back upwards and dusting his hands off.)

(Water Lily smirked before she saw Cannonbolt coming towards her as she gained a shocked look on her face.)

Water Lily: "Oh sh-"

(Cannonbolt struck her by accident, sending her tumbling into Ishiyama and they both were sent tumbling down the hole before they instantly regenerated back in the temple as Water Lily glared daggers at her brother as her and Ishiyama's life count was reduced to one.)

Cannonbolt: "Oops, my bad."

(Cannonbolt said.)

Allison: "Nice going Benji."

(Allison glared.)

Allison: "Now Jen's down to her last life and so is Ishiyama!"

Becky: "They'll be okay as long as they stay focused."

(Becky said as she sheathed her weapon.)

Ishiyama: "We still must answer the Kappa's riddle if we are to continue our quest."

(Ishiyama reminded them.)

Gwen: "Hmm...."

(Gwen said.)

Gwen: "The key names your weapon, but only by sight. When uttered as 'vow', a gesture polite."

Becky: "Names my weapon?"

(Becky said before she gasped.)

Becky: "That's it! My weapon is a bow, but when uttered as 'vow', it becomes 'bow.'"

(Becky then bowed before the Kappa statue with a smile.)

(That was when everyone looked up to see the statue tilt forwards and water came out of its head, soaking Becky from head to toe as she groaned before an orange light consumed her and she majorly increased in size, her weight sagging down as she groaned in embarrassment.)

(Cannonbolt couldn't help himself and he started laughing uncontrollably at the sight before him as he walked up to Becky.)

Cannonbolt: "Whoa! Looks like you've been hitting the old sumo feedbag!"

(Water Lily smacked him upside the head, but only ended up hurting her hand and she rubbed it slightly in pain.)

Becky: "Says the original fathead."

(Becky glared as she then leaped up and stomped the ground, causing the Kappa statue to slit down the middle and part to reveal...)

Allison: "The dojo!"

(Allison said as the six heroes all ran forwards onto the dojo.)

Gwen: "Take us to Level 13."

(Gwen ordered, which caused the dojo to rise up into outer space.)

Cannonbolt: "Oh sure."

(Cannonbolt groaned.)

Cannonbolt: "When I bust something, it's all silent stares. But when my cousin busts something, she's a hero!"

(The Sumo power up wore off as Becky was reduced to her original size and the dojo rose up before settling into place in their destination...)

Ishiyama: "The Arena of Sumo Warriors!"

(Ishiyama announced.)

(They heard a rumbling behind them and looked to see one of the golden lion statues marking the corner come to life and walk towards them.)

Kenko: "And the site of your final defeat, Ishiyama!"

Cannonbolt: "Bring it on, Kenko!"

(Cannonbolt shouted as he curled up into a ball and dashed towards the evil shapeshifter...)

(only for the Omnitrix to time out and send him crashing into the giant statue.)

(Ben groaned as he hit the floor and looked down at his Omnitrix with a glare.)

Ben: "You know, for a watch, you have a lousy sense of timing."

(he said before he jumped away from Kenko as he brought his paw down on him.)

(Ben glared as he unsheathed his sword before the others converged around him.)

Gwen: "Ben, we'll handle Kenko."

(Gwen said.)

Becky: "You need to find the Upgrade icon."

(Becky agreed.)

Ben: "No way! I need to prove to Ishiyama that I'm a hero too.

Allison: "You will!"

(Allison said.)

Allison: "But first you have to start thinking like a hero instead of trying to impress a computer program."

Ben: "sigh Okay."

(Ben said as he ran off.)

Jen: "I'll help you, bro!"

(Jen said as she followed her brother to search as the other four looked on as Allison prepared her swords.)

(They then all shouted out as Ishiyama jumped up and Becky leaped onto his back and fired her arrows at him with a shout of effort before Kenko spun around and deflected all of the arrows before crashing into Ishiyama and she and Becky slammed into the opposite end of the arena.)

(Gwen and Allison looked up as Kenko stood up, revealing his true form: a large cyborg samurai in purple armor and a blue face.)

(He glared at the heroes as Allison shouted out as she charged towards him and the camera cut away as she clashed her swords towards him.)

(The twins made it up towards the top level towards some crates and they started breaking them open with their sword and fans as they looked for the Upgrade icon.)

Ben: "No, no, no, no..."

(Ben said.)

(Allison crashed into the wall behind her as Kenko transformed into a pterodactyl and started flying after the group as Becky fired her arrows at her before he swooped in to attack her.)

(Becky gasped and ducked under him but his talons swiped down and broke her bow in two.)

(She glared after him and Gwen took out he throwing star and tossed it at him and sliced a few feathers off of his wing, causing him to crash down to the ground as the star came around again, but this time Kenko was ready.)

(He transformed into his dragon form and fired a massive plume of blue flames from his mouth and burnt the star to a crisp.)

Becky: "This is not good."

(Becky said as Kenko loomed over them.)

(Ishiyama and Allison came in and slammed against the dragon, but he retaliated and sent them slamming against the ground before the four heroes were wrapped up in his tail and they shouted out in pain.)

Kenko: "I expected more with the great Ishiyama."

(Kenko scoffed.)

Ishiyama: "It is not over so long as one of us still stands."

(Ishiyama said.)

Ben: "No, no, no."

(Ben said as he continued destroying the boxes.)

(He then saw the icon out of the corner of his eye and smiled.)

Ben: "Yes!"

(As he was about to activate the icon, Kenko saw him and smoke poured out of his nostrils.)

(He blasted Ben before Jen tackled him out of danger as Kenko glared and looked down on them in his samurai form.)

Kenko: "Your power is now mine, boy!"

(Kenko shouted as Ben looked at his sword and immediately tossed it at Kenko, catching him by surprise and it suck his ponytail into the wall.)

Jen: "Ben, now!"

(Jen shouted.)

(Ben immediately obliged and slammed his Omnitrix down on the icon and it immediately showed up on his Omnitrix.)

(Kenko got himself out of the wall and was about to bring the sword down on the twins when Ishiyama swooped in and slammed him against the wall.)

(He walked out and smiled at the kids before a shocked look came on his face and he looked down to see a sword coming straight through his gut.)

(He then instantly vanished in a white light, his last life lost.)

Becky: "Ishiyama!"

(Becky shouted.)

Allison: "No!"

(Allison said.)

Kenko: "Your great samurai hero isn't here to protect you anymore."

(Kenko said, bringing the sword up and prepared to bring it down on the heroes before a green light shined out and they looked to see Upgrade by them.)

Upgrade: "I can take care of myself, and you, all alone."

(Upgrade said.)

Upgrade: "Now we play by my rules, Kenko!"

Jen: "Go for it, bro!"

(Jen said with a smile as Upgrade leaped towards Kenko and the two engaged in a morphing fight and fired blasts of fire and green energy towards them before Upgrade seemingly finished him off with mace hands.)

Upgrade: "Come out, come out wherever you are!"

(Upgrade said as the smoke cleared and they crossed their arms.)

Becky: "Quit fooling around and get us out of here before you time out again!"

(Becky shouted.)

Upgrade: "I'm right here, doofus!"

(Upgrade told the girls before a familiar face looked by them.)

???: "You wouldn't leave without saying goodbye, would you?"

Allison: "Ishiyama?"

(Allison asked.)

Gwen: "But I thought you were-"

(Gwen began.)

Ishiyama: "It would take more than Kenko to finish off my last life. I just wanted to say that I was wrong, young one."

(he touched Upgrade's shoulder.)

Ishiyama: "I only wish I could visit your world and fight alongside such a normal hero."

Upgrade: "Whoa, really?"

(Upgrade asked before a green light appeared and a new sumo with green hair appeared behind Ishiyama.)

???: "Sorry, 'Ishi.'"

(he said.)

???: "Your travel plans just got cancelled."

Jen: "Grandpa?"

(Jen asked in shock as Max slammed into Ishiyama, sending him back down into the arena.)

Allison: "I guess he must have plugged himself in while I was distracted."

(Allison said.)

Upgrade: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

(Upgrade asked.)

Upgrade: "He's a good guy!"

Max: "Oh no, he isn't!"

(Max said.)

(He then leaped up to the the announcer's chamber and removed the a tile from the roof, revealing an Ikeni Trunk.)

(He then opened it and revealed a token with a picture of a salt shaker on it.)

(He then poured the salt onto Ishiyama, dispelling his disguise and revealing Kenko, who then turned and glared.)

Jen: "Kenko!"

(Jen shouted.)

Upgrade: "You were trying to trick me into taking you to the real world!"

(Upgrade realized.)

Becky: "Let's get out of here before he succeeds!"

(Becky said.)

Upgrade: "A true Sumo Slammer never retreats. I'm going to defeat him honorably."

(He then leaped outwards towards Kenko, who turned into a shadow and grabbed Jen as she struggled in his grasp.)

Kenko: "Fortunately, I am not bound by such honor."

(Kenko said.)

(The dojo sunk down into the space below and Jen gasped out.)

Jen: "Ben! Help me!"

(Upgrade leaped down after Kenko and hit the dojo and glared at the evil samurai.)

Kenko: "Destroy me and your sister suffers the same fate!"

Upgrade: "I don't think so!"

(Upgrade said.)

Upgrade: "This game's over!"

(He then shot himself outwards and right into Kenko's fist and immediately merged with his armor as Jen wormed her way out of his grasp as his armor blew apart and left Kenko standing there in his true form: a midget.)

(Kenko glared and started punching Upgrade in the leg and then kicked him only for his boot to come flying up off his foot and nailed him in the head, knocking him out.)

Upgrade: "Go ahead and say it."

(Upgrade said to his sister.)

Jen: "You're the better Sumo Slammer Samurai, bro."

(Jen said with a smile.)

(Upgrade then lifted his hand up and created a 1UP power up.)

Upgrade: "Actually, sis. I want to hear it from him."

(He tossed the power up away as the dojo entered the arena again and Ishiayama regenerated again as they smiled.)

Upgrade: "So, now who do you think is the best Sumo Warrior?"

(Upgrade asked.)

Ishiyama: "Him."

(Ishiyama said, pointing to Max, which prompted everyone to look at him.)

Everyone: "Grandpa/Max!"

(they all shouted.)

Ishiyama: "Only a true Sumo Slammer would know to use the cleansing power of Sumo Salt to reveal Kenko's deception."

Max: "It was easy."

(Max said, shrugging off the compliment.)

Max: "I just read the instructions."

Everyone: "Read the instructions."

(everyone sighed as Upgarde's Omnitrix started timing down again.)

Becky: "Uh-oh! No time for goodbyes!"

(Becky shouted as Upgrade grabbed her, Gwen and Jen and teleported them out of the game.)

(Outside, Allison and Max looked as Upgrade shot out of the console's screen and appeared on the ground in front of them as Upgrade timed out.)

Gwen: "Could you cut it a little closer next time?"

(Gwen asked.)

(Ben and Jen scrolled through their Omnitrixes to see that they had all of their hero icons back.)

Ben: "Hopefully, won't be a next time."

(Ben said with a sigh.)

Allison: "Thank goodness."

(Allison said as she got up and started stretching out her joints.)

Allison: "I was getting tired just sitting there."

(Max looked out the window and saw the sun shining through the clouds.)

Max: "Well, looks like it finally stopped raining. How about you kids get some fresh air?"

Becky: "I could use a little real world right about now."

(Becky smiled.)

Jen: "Me too, I'm a little tired of video games."

(Jen said as they all ran outside.)

Max: "I thought they'd never leave."

(Max said as he went back to the game and gained a look of focus on his face.)
