8. Break in Two Electric Boogaloo

CHAPTER 8 BREAK IN TWO: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO "NOOOOOO!" screamed Tippy. He ducked his head beneath the cockpit of the Robo-Suit and disappeared down a stairwell into the intricate innards of his intimidating invention.

Captain Underpants grabbed the arms of the Robo-Suit and began to pull. Harder and harder he tugged until, one by one, the rivets in the Robo-Suit's thick steel belt began to pop. The harder Captain Underpants yanked, the more the Robo-Suit began to break in two. The shrieking sounds of twisting metal reverberated around Tippy as he traversed the crumbling staircase. His only chance was to make it down to the lower half of the Robo- Suit before Captain Underpants pulled it apart.

With no time to spare, Tippy dashed into the Robo-Pants, just as the Robo-Suit broke in two.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Tippy yelled, as he closed the emergency hatch on the Robo-Pants. Then, Tippy set his Tinkle- Time Travelometer to "Five Years Ago" and pressed the "Away We Go!" button. Suddenly, sparks of blue lightning began emanating from the Robo-Pants. The massive bolts crackled loudly and grew more and more intense until finally, Tippy and his Robo-Pants were enveloped in a giant ball of blue lightning.

A blinding flash turned the night sky into day for a sliver of a second, and then it was all over. Tippy and his Robo-Pants had disappeared, leaving only an empty mound of ice behind. The crazed inventor and his terrifying trousers would never be seen again after that night. They would, however, be seen exactly five years before that night... But before I can tell you that story, we have to go back even further...
