Hardy New-Born picked up his communicator and spoke a message to any MBL members out there. "Okay, so Disco and Nowhereman are in Hawaii, Monopoly Guy teleported to God knows where, and Smasher is back at headquarters. Most of the rest of us are... in Iowa."
Suddenly, a bright flash of light passed through the sky above them. Something landed in a nearby cornfield. The team raced to check it out.
There, lying in a field in the middle of nowhere, was a small spaceship of some sort. The door, busted by the landing, swung open, revealing a baby inside.
Hardy New-Born: "My God! A baby! You know, this could be some sort of alien baby... with freakish powers!"
J.T. Free: "What do we do about it?!"
"There's only one thing TO do... stomp on it until its guts pop out! We can't have alien freak babies running around! Who knows what trouble they could cause?!" Hardy New-Born began to stomp on the baby, and the others joined in.
Nowhereman, hearing the commotion over the still-open MBL communicator line, said, "Aw, man! I wouldn't have gone to Hawaii if someone had told me baby stompin' was in the cards!"
Agent F7 and Nightwatch, who hadn't gone on vacation, arrived in Iowa just after the baby-stomping incident.
Agent F7: "Guys! Smasher's in trouble back at the base!"
Nightwatch: "It's the Hyperboard Entity!"
Hardy New-Born: "Oh, great. Him again. Can't we get new villains?"
Agent F7: "By the way, Metababy, the U.N.'s new ambassador of world peace and all-round good guy, came to help you. Where is he? And what's this weird mess on the floor?"
Hardy New-Born: "Let's go, people! Quickly!"
J.T. Free: "Wait! Nowhereman and Disco are in Hawaii, and we're not because we need to go fight the Hyperboard Entity? Lame!"
Hardy New-Born: "It's all part of being a hero."
J.T. Free: "Can't we let Smasher fight for a little bit while we go see bre... I mean, go to Hawaii?"
Hardy New-Born: "No. We must assist our team member."
J.T. Free: "Not even for a little bit?"
Hardy New-Born: "No!"
J.T. Free: "How about if I go get Nowhereman and Disco real quick?"
Hardy New-Born: "No!"
J.T. Free: "What if I..."
Hardy New-Born: "NO!"
J.T. Free: "Man! Lame!"
Beer-Drinking Lad: "How are we getting back to headquarters, anyway?"
Hardy New-Born: "Awww shit!"
Smoke filled the air in the MBL Headquarters guest house, where Smasher was staying. Fire surged out of the Hypertime Entity's pores. The room was ablaze. Only two figures were present, one the MBLer known as Smasher, and the other the keeper of Hell itself, the Hypertime Entity.
The two traded blow after blow. Smasher was the only one affected, though. Tired, burnt up, brused, bloody, and battered, he nevertheless held his ground against the Hypertime Entity.
Smasher: "They will get you... I promise you that... you will not get away with this."
"TOO LATE... IT IS DONE... YOUR TEAM IS TRAPPED ON THE EDGE OF HELL... IN IOWA... BA-WA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! SOON, THEY SHALL BE SPLIT UP AND DESTROYED. GOD, I LOVE BEING EVIL!"
Smasher quickly pressed his communication device. "Guys, it's me. It is all a trap... Iowa, all part of his plan. Save yourselves... I'm already doomed. Just stop the mouth of Hell... close it before Hell... raises into our plane of existence and takes over!"
"TOO LATE FOR YOU, THOUGH." The Hypertime Entity sent a powerful blast straight to Smasher's chest, sending him to the ground.
Smasher's last words before he died were, "Save... the... world... for... me..."
The team in Iowa heard the whole thing through their communication devices.
"NO... not again..." Hardy New-Born threw his communicator to the ground and sat. He looked thoughtful for a moment.
Agent F7: "What are we waiting for?! We have to go get the Hyperboard Entity!"
Hardy New-Born: "Smasher said that he laid a trap for us."
Agent F7: "All the more reason to get the hell out of Iowa!"
The others nodded in agreement.
Hardy New-Born: "That would be running. We have to face this bastard, and this mouth-of-Hell thing, here... in Iowa. I don't even know where Iowa is. I'm Australian, but we're sure as hell gonna face down there."
Hardy New-Born stood up. "Man, I got baby guts on my uniform!" He left to find a nearby river where he could clean off his clothes, placing Nightwatch in charge until he returned.
Nightwatch, disagreeing with the Rhymer's command decision, immediately began arguing amongst the remaining MBLers that they should head back to Thunder City to rescue Smasher and defeat the Hypertime Entity once and for all.
