Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The story so far:

On a rainy night at the boardwalk Sharkade, in the distance a loud crash is heard, apparently caused by the Destructor-Toid. Suddenly, someone bursts through the door, revealing himself to be none other than Jim Sterling. He confronts the lone patron in the arcade asking for help.

The winning comment this week was from Ballistic:

The mysterious figure is none other than Hamza Aziz, who else would we find at the Sharkade? The next panel reveals this as Hamza steps into the light, saying "F*ck yeah, lets do this!" Then we have a closeup of Hamza's open hand stretched out in the direction of the arcade booth as electricity arcs out from it and begins to transform the booth into a suit of armor and a weapon that form around Hamza's body.
The armor? The MJOLNER armor, similar to the Master Chief's, yet with Shark symbols emblazoned on the shoulder pads. The Weapon? The almighty Banhammer, ready to wreck some trolls' shit. Suddenly, right as the transformation is complete, there is another crash from outside the Sharkade, and both Hamza and Jim turn to face it. Jim says, "We better hurry" and they run out of the building, ready to face whatever it is.

Again, I tried to stick with the general outline, although I did have to adjust a few things to translate it to the page.

THE RULES:
1. You have 24 hours from the time this blog was posted to suggest what happens next, after that, I will choose the winning comment! The page will then be posted the following week.

2. Try to keep it relatively SFW.

3. You can only make a suggestion once per week.

4. Your suggestion has to fit on one page.

You know what to do!

This is great stuff. Also, I love how you could only really do this with Destructoid. I love that our writers are just incredibly diverse personalities that can be spoofed in comic form.

Holy shit Mikey, it's COOLER than what I even imagined! How'd you do that?! The only thing that's bad about it is that it's gonna be a bit hard to see a logical progression of what exactly is gonna happen next. It's gonna come down to the coolest scenario anybody can imagine with the destructor-toid to get the next one.

Ahh, the last frame might conflict with my next idea, but I'll try anyhow:

Jim and Hamza dash outside to investigate the noise, and are confronted with the sight of the giant Destructor-toid approaching from the distance(in a pane something like the first scene of page one, but with the Destructor-toid seen on the visible side of the mountains). Jim mutters to himself that "That wasn't there before"

Hamza uses the zoom function built into his visor to get a closer view of the Destructor-toid, asking Jim if that's the extent of their problems.

"I think it may be a bother, but there is still a more pressing matter"

"Hmm?"

Jim lowers his shotgun and turns to Hamza.

"It appears that the situation is changing...and Neiro is still missing"

Hamza slings his hammer onto his shoulder as the shadow of the Destructor-toid is cast upon them. "Neiro, missing? Then who the hell is controlling that?"

End Scene

**Feel free to take some liberties with the dialog. Niero being missing should still be the biggest issue though. I'm thinking about this leading to something like the Destructor-toid being hacked as a reference to how the forums got hacked earlier in the month.**

Heeding the call of destiny, Jim Sterling and Cybernetic Tiger Z dash out of the boardwalk Sharkade, weapons blazing. They're caught off guard by an explosion that suddenly erupts outside the door, engulfing the area in flames.

When the dust settles, Sterling and Hamza are left unscathed, surrounded only by a mysterious, glowing sphere made of rainbows, puppies, and hearts.

Rising out of the sea next to the boardwalk is Chad Concelmo, dressed as Sabin from Final Fantasy VI and riding atop a group of dolphins. Rip Taylor throws confetti in the background (optional).

Ok I am going to give this a weird shot and it would be cool to see this.
Jim and Shark-Armored CTZ exit the arcade to a rainy boardwalk in terror and destruction. Robot chickens (or cocks) are blowing up buildings, humping mailboxes and stabbing people in the shin. Jim then turns to CTZ and tells him, "Let's go kick some ass." Next two or three panels are filled with CTZ swinging his hammer and Jim popping some cocks. Until they are surrounded by robo-cocks and CTZ informs Jim, "I think we are screwed now." Then the final panel shows a boot slamming on the ground and the person behind the boot saying, "Need some pills."

CTZ runs through the hallway and alerting the Dtoid editors at dusk, who popped their heads out of their elaborate house-like uberdesks in the Destructoid Penthouse of Awesome. Chad. Brad. Dyson. Jim. Latoya. Latoya? WTF is she doing here?

When they all reach the exterior of the building they see that the nearby buildings have all been but decimated, except for a McDonalds. The earth will be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust and you'll still be able to get a Bic Mac somehow. Something huge lies there in the distance -- and what appears to be the landing site of something extraterrestrial.

Something huge ... it kind of looks like ... a chicken egg?

The sharkade clerk falls out of his chair from seeing the awesome transformation. Jim and Hamza both reach the outside of the Sharkade, ready to fight whatever threat faces them, but all is calm. Jim looks at Hamza and says, "Well, I guess I look like a twat for bringing you out here for noth-" But he's cut off by the roar of the Destructor-toid suddenly standing up to full height out in the bay, sending splashes of water and huge waves in the heroes' direction. The next panel gives a closeup of the Destructor-toids' face turning towards them, also revealing the presence of small hitch hikers crawling all over the hull of the metal monster. Trolls. The last panel shows a serious monster of a wave heading right for the boardwalk that Jim and Hamza are standing on, threatening to wipe them out. Hamza is portrayed as saying, "Sharks laugh at waves like that, bring it on!" to which Jim replies, "But Brits don't go to the beach!"

Action time.

Jim and CTZ exit the Sharkade and are barely missed by a large grey rock thing. Once it slams into the arcade window, its easily identified as one of the smaller collossi (or reasonable facsimili thereore). Out cold.

Big Big panel, with the Destructoid-tor causing serious havok, roaring in playtime glee/menace. In the for ground of the panel, robotic wolves are advancing, looking very menacing in their own right.

Last few panels show CTZ and Sterling putting a little smackdown on a few wolves. "This is a fine mess we've gotten in."

A shadowed figure (you see a baseball bat slung over the shoulder of a cap wearing hero) corrects the incorrect grammar of the previous sentence.

Its Samit, dressed in Baseball Fury gear like from the Warriors. Face Paint and everything. Its blue, of course.

(The guys proceed to make fun of what he's wearing.)

I want a flashback to Hamza's abusive childhood. His parents are fighting again. His dad says "you'll never amount to anything Hamza!" so Hamza runs away from home to an aquarium where he meets Chad and an old zookeeper that takes care of all the aquariums dolphins and sharks.

@Palidi

Yeah, I think there's great elements to everyone's ideas, which is why I don't envy Mikey's position in having to choose between all of them. The thing I like about yours Palidi, is the idea of the correlation to Destructoid.com's history as a website and the plot of the comic. That's something I would also try and go for, but it's hard to do that when this story isn't told by one person but everyone.

The destructortoid stands before the boardwalk, resplendent in its shiny glory. with a ferocious roar, it makes its way to the sharkade.

As Hamza and Jim prepare for battle, someone off-frame yells "STOP!"
the two turn and see Colette, dressed in battle gear, riding a chocobo at full gallop with two other chocobo behind her.

she stops in front of the two men, and says, "hop on. i've found Niero."

as he gets on his chocobo, Hamza looks at Colette and says "Are you wearing... Papercraft armor?"

Elsewhere...

There are four characters sat on a sofa around a television. They are watching a news programme detailing the presidential kidnap and devestation happening outside. We see them from behind.

Then next panel shows Chad, Dyson, Topher and Stella (Collette is mysteriously not present) looking horrified at the events.

They then look at each other, look towards the television and look determined. They stand up, go over to a bookshelf and press a switch.

The final panel shows the outside of a cliff with four figures flying through the air.

They are all screaming in unison, "RETROFORCE GO!"

Meanwhile at a nearby volcano…

Two figures stand silhouetted by lava light, one on the ground and one looming with a handgun trained on the other. Chad Concelmo is looking upwards into his dark assailant glowing red eyes with a fearful expression when the same THOOM! heard by Jim and Hamza at the Sharkade echoes up the mountainside. Startled, both turn to look downwards. Chad exclaims “Oh no! The city is in trouble!” and jumps off the cliff edge, only to rise up and float away in a rainbow, sparkling sphere.
The other figure glares after the retreating Chad, revealing Anthony Burch muttering quietly “I fucking hate you, Concelmo.” before jumping off the cliff himself.

The duo rush out of the arcade, but as soon as they get out the door they're pounced upon by trolls who leap off the roof of the arcade. Jim immediately explodes one's head with a point-blank blast from his shotgun. CTZ swings his mighty ban-hammer and finishes off the rest.

From off-panel a voice says "Amazing... I guess you were right about him, Jim. Now, how about a little help over here?"

The voice belongs to Chad Concelmo, who is a few yards out from the boardwalk in the ocean, riding on the back of a dolphin as though it were a horse. The dolphin is made up of big, blocky, 8-bit style pixels and looks like something out of an NES game, but Chad looks perfectly normal, though slightly stressed due to what's going on around him. Towering above and behind Chad and his "steed" is an enormous figure that the reader can't make out clearly due to the rain and the fact that it stretches beyond the confines of the panel. Quick cut to Jim and CTZ as they say in unison "Oh shit..."
