Chapter 41 - The Tower Gang

"Haaa...Haaaa.....I-It took me so long to get here...Haaaaa...."

Beanie man stood panting at the entrance to an old abandoned clocktower. He took a few moments to take a breather, before he marched into the clocktower proudly. A maid welcomed him in.

"Why have you appeared here today sir?"

"To cross swords with the plaintiff of course!"

"Very well sir, I will lead you to the plaintiff immediately"

Saying so, the maid led him to an elevator stationed in the middle of the clocktower. After he had clambered inside, she pushed the button on the outside. The elevator shot down instantly, beanie man screaming the whole way down. 

The elevator crashed to the floor with a KSCHHHHH (The most accurate I could make it). Beanie man stood up from the floor, his knees shaking.

"I will never get used to this elevator! EVER!"

"This room has an echo, SO SHUT UP!"

"Quiet down everyone, you will make my already poor ears worse"

A crocodile who had a scar on his left eye and an eyepatch on his left, walking on two legs and talking like a human yelled at beanie man, making the echo worse. He stopped only when the elderly man at the head of the table spoke.

The elderly man had a perfectly round head, with one hand gripping a walking stick and a bowl of custard, and his other hand holding a spoon and shoving huge mouthfuls of custard down his throat.

Beside him stood a giant robot with a baby on it's shoulders.

"Did you get it?", asked the robot.

"Did you think I wouldn't?"

All the people there started nodding

"Yes"

"We are-nom nom-surprised you-nom nom-made it out a-nom nom-live"

"We didn't have much hope in the first place. We prepared a backup plan"

".....Guys....why don't any of you trust me? I got it"

All of them froze, looking shocked, before they erupted in a round of applause.

"Oh wow! You did amazing"

"We knew you would be able to do it!"

"No one here-nom nom-ever-nom nom-doubted you!"

"Awww shucks...you're making me blush"

"Cluck cluck"

"AHH!"

Behind beanie man stood emo chicken. After scaring the heebie jeebies out of him, the chicken walked forth and placed a long device in front of the elderly man, who was still shoving custard in his mouth.

The croc turned his head toward the man.

"Would you stop eating old man! This is important!"

"It's not m-nom nom-e! My hand is-nom nom-making me eat!"

"Well, tell it to stop then! You are confusing my baby!"

"Stop, this-nom nom-is a serious matter! You are-nom nom-disrupting my means of com-nom nom-ication!.....Phew, it finally stopped"

"Now that Lester has brought the device, can you increase the orb's power?"

"Yes, I can do that now. Give me the orb Charles"

"Here it is"

Beani-I mean, Charles....no I like beanie man. Beanie man walked forward and gave the orb to the elderly man who had now placed his soup on the ground, since there was no table nearby.

He then reached down and picked up the long device placed by emo chicken (Lester, apparently).

"Alright! Now I will tune the long device. To do that I will turn the knob-oh yes, I will place the orb on the ground first. Then I will turn the knob 90 degrees. A little further...there we go. Now I will press the button on the back of the device and then press the big red button in front.....yes, we like big red buttons. Now we pick up the orb, then place it against the long device gently. That is the side of the device, place it against the top....there we go."

The previously dull pink orb flickered and lit up as the device touched it, slowly, it started pulsing as if it was charging.

"Can this really be powered beyond what the Titan wanted?", Beanie man looked at the pulsing orb in wonder.

"Now we continue to hold the orb against the device for another 15 minutes. Yes, it is a Titan's Art, just because the Titan limited it doesn't mean that it cannot exceed that limit"

"My baby will love to play with it and will also not have to witness a bloody battle, I see this as a win-win"

The robot was cradling the baby in it's arms as it(she?) turned away from everyone else.

The croc chuckled.

"Hehe, I didn't think a Titan would use his Art to manipulate the people in his territory"

"They aren't people, they are animals"

"THEY'RE PEOPLE TO ME, YOU ASSH*LE!"

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!"

"Quit it, both of you!"

As soon as the elderly man said that, he dropped both the tool and the orb.

"No, not you two!"

The elderly man glared at the croc and beanie man with fury in his eyes. The croc and beanie man shrunk under his gaze.

"Look at what you made me do! Now I have to do it again! If the Trifitinum device is broken-"

"Sorry boss"

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again"

"Now, I will pick up the device and the orb again and bring them together just like before, and wait for another 15 minutes in this position"

The robot turned to the croc and beanie man.

"If you make another loud noise again, I will personally see to it that you die"

She then turned back to her baby.

"Don't worry my baby, the loud men won't disturb your sleep anymore"

"Cluck cluck"

Emo chicken just glanced at them all in turn, before walking over to the elevator, jumping to the button that had suddenly appeared in the elevator, and disappearing just as fast as the elevator had arrived.

A strange quiet descended as beanie man and croc played rock paper scissors to settle their argument, the robo-mama cradled her baby, and the man stood there, slowly charging the Titan's Art for whatever devilish plan they had cooked up.
