Here's a brand new story starring two of my favourite boy bands McFly and Busted as their super group McBusted and my original character Dominic who were sent into New Wirral from the monster catching RPG game Cassette Beasts. I've played Cassette Beasts last year and it's a good Pokémon clone with its own identity so I thought I'll come up with a short story with again The McBusted boys and Dominic venturing in the world of Cassette Beasts, using monsters that I've nicknamed them after in the game (with the exception of Dominic).
Here's Chapter 5 where Matt Willis and Harry Judd have to fight their way through Falldown Mall after becoming separated. Enjoy and stay tuned for more.
Chapter 5 - Shop 'til you don't drop
Matt Willis and Harry Judd have made their way to Falldown Mall, located on the hills in the northern area of Eastern Woods. The mall is barely functioning with no services yet it still provide valuable resources for rangers. But with the monsters influenced by rogue fusion activity making themselves at home there, it makes Falldown Mall a no go zone which is why Matt and Harry have to clear them away.
“Well then, time to go on a shopping spree or should I say monster mashing spree?” said Matt as they were confronted by Squireys (pangolin monsters with an appearance of a knight), Clocksleys (small green wind-up toy like monsters with a clockwork and a long claw arm) and Muskrateers (mice wearing a hat, holding a sword and riding on on a mouse shaped carousel seat). “I’ll be the one to take them out first!” said Harry as the competitive one who likes to lighten up spirits. “Not if I beat you first!” said Matt, playing along as they transformed into their given monsters Couldron and Galagor.
As Couldron, Matt utilises its tanking capabilities, deflecting hits from the Muskrateer fusions, striking back with its swords, and retaliating with Couldron’s Coal Story, firing the attack from its cannon. “I am currently cooking up an appetite!” said Matt as he took them down. The Musrateers created a wall made out of bricks using Plastic Wall, which blocks attacks. “Not so fast, as I have a secret ingredient!” said Matt, using Couldron’s Crumble, which took down their walls, allowing him to defeat the Muskrateer fusions.
Harry makes use of Galagor’s defensives by using Galagor’s Meditate, which temporarily puts it to sleep while raising its attack and defensives. “I can do this all day. I bet this is what it’s like meditating!” bragged Harry while Galagor handles the hits from the Squirey fusions who smack Galagor with their spears. Once Galagor has woken up, Harry then activated its Broadcast ability, which allows Galagor to take down the Squirey fusions by firing Shooting Star multiple times. “That’s for the rude awakening, you Rats!” said Harry.
All that is left is the Clocksley fusions, who fired their bricks from a distance using Brick Blast. “I’ll teach you to toss some toys like that!” said Matt as Couldron formed a wall made out the essence of earth using Earth Wall which gives Harry a chance to take them out using Galagor’s Energy Waves with the Multi Strike effect taking place (via Boardcast) to take out multiple of them. Harry also used Galagor’s Provoke to redirect Clocksley’s attacks towards him to protect Matt, much to his appreciation (and amusement with Harry taunting them saying “You all need a windup!”). Now that was easy!” said Harry as soon as they defeated the Clocksleys.
Use this for the fight against the rogue fusion
But it was only the beginning with a knight-like pangolin with a halberd known as a Palanlin and another knight-like pangolin that is brawly looking, holding a spear and resembling a dark knight called a Manispear have appeared on top of the floor above them, fusing together into a small but fearsome knight pangolin with a sword, making it the rogue fusion of the area. It’s known as a Palanspear.
“It looks like the Pangolins are getting their back on us for hunting them” said Matt half jokingly, half nervously. “Come on, we gotta show what we’re made of!” said Harry, giving him encouragement as they made their way up the stairs to fight Palanspear. The pangolin knight had swift movements as it easily dodged their attacks and hit back hard, including by whacking its sword on Couldron and Galagor using Copper Chop. It also hides itself within the shadows and strikes them with an ambush attack using Stab in the Dark. “How is that fair?!” exclaimed Harry in frustration. “This knight is definitely tough”, said Matt with awe. The Palaspear used its ruthless instincts from the Manispear side by ramming its right fist onto the ground right next to Couldron and Galagor, using Super Heated Fist, which caused the ground to break. Matt and Harry became separated as they fell into the hole.
When Matt got round, he found himself in a long corridor surrounded by darkness (having to be de-transformed from Coaldron). “Where am I? Where are you, Harry?” asked Matt. He cautiously looked around, unsure of what might creep up on him. Suddenly, an arrow shoots towards him which made him jump. “Who’s there?!” cried Matt. He then found some green coloured robot like monsters holding a bow and arrow, resembling Robin Hood, called Robindam. “If you think you can rob me, then you think wrong!” said Matt as his way to respond, covering his fear and transforming back into Coaldron.
He tries to fight back the Robindams, firing Coaldron’s Coal Story at the arrow, but he keeps on missing the arrows and gets hit by them with the Robindams’ precise bull’s-eye shot. It also didn’t help that the Robindams kept on hiding behind the pillars for them to dodge Matt’s attacks and fire their arrows from there.
“Ugh, this is hopeless. I better get out of here instead,” ranted Matt as he moved his Coaldron towards the end of the corridor where he hoped the exit was, but the Coaldron was rather slow, which exposed Matt to the Robindam’s arrows. Matt felt helpless, he wished that he is with Harry, let alone any of his bandmates and friends who would help him to fight against the Robindams.
But Matt realised that only he can get himself out of this, coming up with ways to defeat the Robindams. “Alright, you Robin Hoods asked for it!” said Matt, who blocked the attacks using Earth Wall. That gives Matt some time to fire Coaldron’s ranged attacks including Boil which scalded one of the Robindams (as Matt taunted it saying “Ha! Ha! How do you like them apples?!”) and Hot Potato (a bomb move that exploded on the Robindam with Matt saying upon witnessing it “Just like when we played Trivia Tricks; only this time, the potato aided me!”).
This helped Matt to make his way towards the exit, but there were still some Robindams in the way who shot their arrows in front of him on the floor, which prevented him from moving any further. “You all aren’t getting in my way!” said Matt, firing Coaldron’s Coal Story towards the ground to unearth the arrows. “Now this is what I call a bull’s eye!” said Matt, who aimed the Coaldron’s cannon at the Robindams and fired Shooting Star at them to take them down. Some more Robindams were running after him, but he unleashed Coaldron’s Sandstorm, which blocked their vision, allowing Matt to make his getaway towards the exit, where he is back in the main room, where he is face-to-face with Palasear, for now.
Meanwhile, Harry was in a separate corridor where he was confronted by some Ratcousels; monsters that resemble carousel rides found at funfairs with a huge rat head wearing a crown and smaller rats that constantly rotate around at the base of its body as if they were riding the carousel. “Rats!” cried Harry as he was forced to fight them as Galagor.
The Ratcousels all out speeded Harry by wheeling throughout the corridor, getting up close to him and attacking at close range with their smack or Toy Hammer or attacking from a distance using Clockwork Mouse or Brick Blast. “I’m not supposed to be outrun!” cried Harry in frustration. Being outnumbered also made him anxious. He wished that he didn’t get separated from Matt, or at least had one of his bandmates or friends to keep him company.
Then he remembered that his Galagor was full of tricks, just like himself, so he figured that only he could get out of this himself until he reunites with the others. “Alright, you asked for it, Mouseys!” said Harry and used Galagor’s Trick, which randomly caused the Ratcousels to become confused and attack each other or use the wrong move. “That’ll teach you, Rats!” said Harry, which helped to buy some time for Galagor to Meditate, raising its Attack and Defensives while sleeping.
The confusion status has worn off, and the Ratcousels fired their Brick Blast at Harry, causing Galagor to wake up and fire its Moonshine at them, as said by Harry “That’s for waking us up!” He also uses Galagor’s Broadcast to fire its attacks conclusively towards the ground near multiple Ratcousels, including Magic Tome and Shooting Star, which slowed them down or tripped over. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall!” laughed Harry. With his cunning tricks, he didn’t need to outrun them.
He made his way towards the exit, but there were still some remaining Ratcousels, with one of them realising its Clockwork Mouse that was heading towards Harry. With his quick thinking, Harry reverted from Galagor and ran towards the Ratcousels to lure the Clockwork Mouse right back to the Ratcousels. “Here, all yours!” said Harry as the Ratcousels got hit by the Clockwork Mouse. Harry then changed back to Galagor just in case he had to fight any more monsters and made his way to the exit.
He made it to the main room and found Matt fighting Palaspear. Just when Matt was about to get attacked by Palasear, Harry fired Galagor’s Energy Wave towards it. “Matt!” called Harry as he was heading towards him. “Harry! So glad you’re in one piece!” said Matt, making his way towards Harry. They were both relieved to see each other. “Sorry I took so long! Let’s do this together properly this time!” said Harry. “You said it!” said Matt, and their hearts became one as their monsters fused into Coalgor, a creature with the physical appearance of a Doku and the instincts of an intelligent bug.
Use this for when they fused even though it didn't came from Cassette Beasts
“Alright! Let’s get our fusion on the road!” said Matt, who is hyped about the fusion. “It’s all for us to win this!” said Harry with their brash, competitive spirits combined with a hint of mischief that drives them to do better. Coalgor fired their Hot Potato at Palaspear. The Pangolin rogue fusion charged its spear towards them, intending to pass the potato over before it explodes on them, but Matt and Harry have other ideas. Making use of Coalgor’s combined defences, they summoned an Astral Wall to block the attacks, which gives them the opportunity to fire their ranged attacks to keep Palaspear busy, including Shooting Star Boil (which also scalds Palaspear).
“Ha! Eat that!” laughed Harry as soon as the bomb exploded on Palaspear. “We sure came up with that one well”, said Matt admirably. The Palaspear was still a tough fighter who dodged their attacks with their speed and swung their spear to slice through incoming attacks. But they had an idea to combat that by using Coalgor’s Broadcast ability to fire its attacks, including Coal Story and Energy Shot multiple times, making it harder for Palaspear to defend itself, as said by Harry, “Just as I thought!” “I like that, though let’s have some more fun, shall we?” said Matt as Coalgor fired its Sandstorm towards Palaspear, who leapt upwards and was about to land on them while avoiding the incoming attacks. “Now that was good thinking there”, said Harry, praising him.
The Palaspear then fought Coalgor at close range, repeatedly attacking it with its spear using Chopper Chop. “It’s not letting us get a move in!” cried Matt as it prevented them from attacking at long range. “Not if I can help it!” said Harry, who whacked Palaspear with Coalgor’s spoon. “Woah! Looks like a spoon is mightier than a spear!” said Matt with astonishment. “Mightier as the both of us combined!” said Harry. “You got that right!” as they finished off Palaspear with their fusion move, Earth Smash.
After they defused, Morgante made her appearance. “Woah, are you our guardian angel?” asked Matt. “I guess you mortals can put it that way” answered Morgante, who sounds perplexed. “In that case, would you please guide us the way home, our guardian angel?” asked Harry. “If that is what you wish”, said Morgante, and told them the location they needed to go and the song they must play.
Once Morgante made her leave, Matt and Harry walked out of Falldown Mall. “Now that was an experience. It was really great to combine our ideas like that,” said Matt. “Just like for our super group”, said Harry, and they hoped to get back with their super group so that they could all return to their home together.
