The story so far:
There is a giant robot on the loose, destroying the very city Jim swore to protect. Unable to fend it off alone, he calls on the help of CyberneticTigerZ! The last remaining warrior of the long forgotten Sharktroopers, equipped with state of the art cyber battle armour and his trusty B.A.N. Hammer, he agrees to lend a hand.
CTZ decides that even with his mighty awesome powersuit, this fight may prove too much, even for him. CTZ calls in a favour from RetroForceGO!, legendary warriors whose skills are supposedly unmatched. Will they be enough to destroy the rampaging robot?
This time it was kce05d that pushed the story forward, with the comment:
You mentioned that Topher would be piloting something (Ikaruga?) and while it would just make sense to fly everyone over to the giant robot, you should have them do the what most games and movies do and have them take the long way for some ridiculously arbitrary reason. Adds more pages to your story, pokes fun at that particular cliche, and I can just imagine hilarious commentary from Jim (the comic version, that is.)
Also, a bonus plot point from Topher:
Dyson's Dreamcast should be an engine component for the Ikaruga. Like I couldn't fly it because it was missing a part, and then Dyson pops the Dreamcast in there and it powers on. Then I fly away and do something awesome.
I decided to do a bit of mixing and matching this time for a double pager. I might do more double pages in the future as well, if a comment comes my way that's too awesome to squeeze onto one, I'll spread it out.
Check out both pages after the jump!

What adventures await in the subway tunnels? Will they even go into the subway tunnels? I don't even know!

@Syn: He saw the camera then decided to yell, "Hey, I'm on TV! Hi, mom!"
That's humour
Anyway, I hope Topher has a special Ikaruga ship that doesn't blow up, killing him.
Spoiler warning, btw.
Amazing.
I don't care which one, either the inside of the destructor-toid or the subway, but one of them has to look like our heroes are running through a 2d Megaman level.
cont:
*Shadow of the Colossus spoiler*
Everyone gets on the ship and Topher sacrifices a single life cheevo to get everyone onto the back of the DTOID robot. But as soon as everyone gets on, Chad is rendered useless because Topher's sacrifice reminds him too much of Agro.
It goes without saying, but awesome as usual, Mikey. I'm not sure where you should take this, but someone will think of something, and it shall be amazing.
Please.
Page one find the dreamcast...
Page 2 : I wanna see everyone in the ikaragu admiring holmes from the rear view mirror going faster than them with a wii remote and nunchuk, jet skating on a flying balance board (a la green goblin) screaming "Chop Till You Drop, Boys" .
It feels like ive Lost wind
Uhhh, what a madworld!
Medic! send her to the Trauma center
My Pet PonyZ?
by the way, i am a proud wii owner, in case this is misinterpreted as the near consensus on wii bashing.
Keeps me fresh and healthy
not so clean though
So, Zombies eh....
Heres an idea;
The crew head undergound where the sewers are filled with zombies that are actually commenters who have no avatars and yell random shit like "FIRST!" and spam the cblogs.
As the team let CTZ swing his banhammer everywhich way screaming "BANNED BITCHES!!" they begin to get outnumbered. They are almost overwhelmed until a mysterious pipebomb lures all the zombies away and blows them all into bloody chunks. The team looks and finds that the Failcast crew (all dressed as the L4D guys, Necros is Zoey) have been down there for weeks and are willing to lend a hand (unofficially).
Either that or try and squeeze a FireGod reference in there somewhere ;)
Topher and Jim make their way to the Goodwill center, but along the way, his Slurpee runs out. Unfortunately, he can't do anything without his Slurpee, the source of his power. BUT!
In rides a Colette on a Chocobo, dragging a Slurpee machine behind it. She says something witty, and Topher, all excited, says "THIS IS THE BEST FRIDAY EVER!"
Although I'd love to see the plan of Jim go through!
Also, I approve Puppy Licks's idea
Awesome job Mikey! I love your work.
Chad (in yet another outfit) decided to get into action. He communicates with the local resident (a puppy) to get a better understanding of the environment. Instead of focusing on his plan, he get sidetrack by gazing at the AMAZING features of the puppy (long ears, fluffy body, dazy eyes).
You said subway and the first thing I thought of is a beat'mup game. Doesn't it seem like every 2d beat'mup had a subway level?
They get down into the subway tunnel and encounter a set of ridiculously buff idiot fanboys trolls. You could have a mix of all the different kind of fanboys one would find on the internet. Or just trolls in general.
They fight the fanboy trolls and try continue on their path when someone runs into an invisible wall.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know. There's some kind of invisible force feild or something"
"Hmmm... I think I have an idea of what is going on here!"
He starts running around looking under things. Everyone else is confused. Finally he lifts up a garbage can to find an Ngage fanboy hiding underneath.
They take him out and are able to move on. As in most beatumups, you have to kill all the badguys to move to the next screen.
This shit is amazingggggg.
