《Mega Cringe: Dab》Chapter 6 - Return
Advertisement
The two of them entered the AB Transport. Terin couldn’t go straight back to his office which means Arthur took control of the tower and reseted everything. They could only transfer at the edge of the sector. Arriving back to his home Terin was met with Lake Cole and his fans. Lake Cole was a famous person from “TouTu:b:e” region. Wherever he went his camera crew and fans followed. He liked to record everything he did and that’s how he gained a following and expanded his sector. Strong sectors being attacked garnered a lot of views. Lake Cole liked to come to recently attacked sectors and attack new owners to get more views and fans, giving him the image of a hero. Him being a hero was from truth. He was a selfish person who only cared about a money and would milk out any tragedy for as much benefit as he can, no matter how many he hurt. His followers were all mindless zombies who justified and supported him in anything he did.
Terin despised Lake Cole. He didn’t care about how he rose to fame or what kind of a person he is. He hated him because he also used the dab technique while disrespecting the dab. Most people could draw out some power from the dab but rarely the power they could take is minimal and unnoticeable. At first there was only a 2-handed dab but as time advanced people tried to cut corners and turn it into a 1-handed dab. 1-handed dab was significantly weaker but it was also quicker and easier to use mid-battle. Soon after most dab users switched to 1-handed dab technique ruining the art of dabbing even more. Lake Cole was one of the first pioneers of the 1-handed dab and he only used it as a side move to gain even more strength. To him it was more of a move to disrespect someone rather than a move he would use in a real fight. Lake Cole was aware of Terin’s hatred towards him so coming here was in hope of provoking Terin and causing a fight between 2 sectors. Something everyone in “TouTu:b:e” enjoyed to watch.
Not wanting to meet Lake Cole directly Terin and the android girl took a roundabout way to the tower in hopes of avoiding him. Unfortunately, Lake Cole and his followers went to the tower the direct way and were blocking the entrance. Terin didn’t want to interact with Lake Cole so he hid in an alleyway and waited.
“Why are we hiding here? Are you afraid of Lake Cole?”
“No, but with that many fans he will be able to direct the flow anyhow he wants. No matter what we do his sector will get stronger and our’s weaker. The best way to minimize the damage is to ignore him.”
“Can’t you just kill them all? Killing someone from the other region on your territory is legal, right?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to massacre 200 people who don’t deserve to die. Even if I wanted to kill only Lake Cole they would try to stop me and get in my way. Plus, I don’t think I can handle 200 people all alone.”
“Hehe, that’s why you have me here.”
“Seems like they still didn’t invent androids with emotions.”
“...rude. But good to know you can make jokes too.”
As they were having their conversation Lake Cole and his fans started moving. Lake Cole started yelling at the tower. They expected something stupid to come out of his mouth. Their expectations weren’t betrayed.

“Terin! Let me in the tower! I’ll help you retake it!”
Lake Cole fans were different, they supported their idol and started cheering for him.
“Looks like Terin is busy! I’d go in to help him but I am not allowed so let’s give him some moral support! Dab on them haters Terin!”
Hundreds of people started chanting “Dab on them haters” and doing their own dabs.
“Oh wow, look at them dabbing. Is this the time you go into blind rage and murder everyone there?” - as she said that she looked towards Terin but he still had a calm face. His breathing was heavy but he showed no signs of moving. - “That guy is just flailing arms, can that really be called a dab? Oh look, this guy extended his hands in front instead of to the side.” - Terin was becoming more restless each time she would describe a dab. He closed his eyes not to see any dabs because he knew he would lose control but she kept pushing him more and more. - “Wow that guy just crossed both of his hands, does he think that’s a double dab? Hahaha! Oh you have to look at this one! This girl is holding one of her arms straight up, like how do you mess it that bad! Hahahaha, sorry this is too funny to me!”
Unable to stay calm anymore he opened his eyes and saw the disaster in front of him. Terin knew Lake Cole and his fans were like this, butchering the art of dabbing but it was still too much for him to see in person. He wouldn’t allow this to happen in front of him and on his sector. Leaving the shady alleyway he went to confront Lake Cole. The android was satisfied with the results and, while keeping her distance, followed Terin again.
“Lake Cole!” - hearing someone is calling for Lake Cole his fans turned around, seeing Terin they split up to let him pass. - “Leave now!”
One of the fans wasn’t happy the way Terin was treating his idol and decided to step up to protect him. - “Hey, Lake Cole came here to protect you and this is how you treat him? Lake Cole, dab on him, he doesn’t deserve your help!”
After saying that he tried to do a dab but Terin was faster and finished a dab where both his hands formed a fist. Everyone who knew Terin knew what this move does. It gives Terin immeasurable power but it also instantly kills whoever Terin is looking at. The fans of Terin called this move “Head Job” because once it goes off the head of the target disappears. But the actual move was just a “Power Dab” which increased his defence and strength. The fan name didn’t disappoint. The fan stood headless behind Lake Cole with smoke coming out of his neck. Lake Cole looked at the recently deceased fan then turned around to speak to Terin. He didn’t care about his dead fan.
“I don’t want to start any drama. I just came here to help. If you want me to leave, I’ll leave.”
“Actually, stay here and fight me. And to make it interesting how about we bet something on it? If I win, you’ll never dab in your life. If you win, I’ll never dab in my life. It will get a lot of views, you know you want to do this.
Lake Cole was confident in himself. Terin only had dab as his powers while Lake Cole practiced many different, superior, techniques. Realising that this duel will be very profitable and that he had good chances of winning he accepted it.

Lake Cole went for his holster to grab his pistol but before he had a chance to do it Terin slammed the ground causing a shockwave that reached all the way to Lake Cole, knocking him back. Getting his feet back on the ground he didn’t give up on his original plan to use a gun. Pulling it out he aimed in front of him but Terin was gone. Looking up he could see Terin spinning in the air and being upside down. Knowing what’s coming Lake Cole dodged. While in air the Dab Master showed his expertise and spun again. Mid-spin he did another dab, where the fingers on both of his hands were extended, aiming it at Lake Cole who thought he dodged the original shot. The dab where both of his hands had fingers extended was named “Bullet Dab”. It was a straightforward name, wherever the fingers were pointing at an invisible bullet would hit that spot. Lake Cole dodged again and the bullet barely missed him, creating a crater in the ground where it hit. Lake Cole was shocked. Most “Dab Bullets” were like someone throwing a rock at you. It hurt, but it wouldn’t cause any serious damage. Terin’s “Dab Bullet”, would make him lose a limb or kill him if it hit a vital spot. As Terin landed Lake Cole realised he had to use his strongest move.
“WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!” as he said those words Terin’s entire body froze in time. If Lake Cole didn’t quickly guess what shoes Terin was wearing then he would unfreeze. “Are those… Original “:b:rocs”? Damn, your style sucks!” Lake Cole guessed correctly. “And now I win the duel. I just wanted to help you, but you wanted a fight, don’t blame me for this.” Walking up to Terin he raised his gun and aimed it at Terin’s head.
“Bye bye, Dab Master”
As he was about to pull the trigger a metal object pierced his wrist making him drop the gun. Looking around he saw a blonde girl that just landed in front of his fans.
“This is a duel, you realise the punishment for interrupting a duel, right? Both Terin and you will be hunted down and killed by the Region Owner and your sector will be taken. No need for me to even finish you off, enjoy the rest of your life, I am leaving.”
“Hmmm? How am I breaking the rules of a duel?”
“Eh?” - Lake Cole wasn’t sure if she is just trying to provoke him or if she was stupid.
“Those rules apply to humans, but I am a vampire, look!” - she widened her mouth to expose her fangs.
“Those rules apply to all alive things! You can’t do this!” - Lake Cole liked to brand himself as a maverick which made his current behavior look very strange.
“If you are going to be serious I guess I will be serious too. I am an android, property of Terin so there is no rule-breaking happening here.”
There were people who used androids and mechanical gadgets as their primary force of attack therefore the use of mechanical object was allowed in duels and it would still count as a 1v1.
“Don’t joke around, no android looks like that!”
“Think whatever you want” - Tired of arguing she threw another blade towards Lake Cole. The blade was too thin for him to see it so he looked at her to see where she aimed. Guessing where the blade would go he dodged and it passed by him, hitting a fan behind him.
“You can’t defeat me with pure physical force!” - Seeing how his opponent is using physical objects to attack Lake Cole decided to boost his physique. He started doing 1-handed dabs with each of his hands. In just 2 seconds he did 20 1-handed dabs. Another blade was coming his way but instead of dodging he just raised his hand. The blade which could pierce his arm now didn’t even scratch him.
“You are lucky Terin didn’t see you perform those abominable dabs!”
“A simple machine like you has no chance of defeating me!”
Raising his gun he fired a couple of shots at her. Laughing she raised her palm and blocked all the shots like Lake Cole blocked her blade.
“This is complete resistance to physical attacks!”
Machines had a complete resistance to technique attacks like Dab Bullet but their physical protection was weak. In some cases it would be strong but never completely resistant. Lake Cole had no strong attacks, only strong crowd control. He realised that he stands no chance and decided to use his move once again.
“WHAT ARE THOSE???” - to his surprise she wasn’t stopping, she was still running towards him. This crowd control always worked no matter on who if the condition was fulfilled. He looked at her feet and saw that she wasn’t wearing anything. Lake Cole had only 1 option left. If he killed Terin she would stop too. He aimed the gun at Terin but she predicted it and threw a nearby rock at the gun, swerving it just enough for the shot to miss Terin and hit one of Lake Cole’s fans. He lost his chance and she was next to him, with a knee strike she sent him flying into the wall of the tower. His dab powered body couldn’t compare to her strength.
“It’s everyday, bro!” - he used his ultimate move. A white light exploded surrounding the three of them in a barrier - “Now none of us can die. We’ll just be revived as long as we are here and there is no way to leave until I stop. Fighting is meaningless.”
Copy was smiling. - “Oh, is that so? You mean to say that I can kill you as many times and torture you as much as I want and you’ll keep coming back? This is truly a dream come true ability.”
Smashing her hands into the ground, her small, delicate hands turned into big and bulky mechanical arms. Lake Cole realised he made a big mistake. He couldn’t fight her, if he didn’t disable the ability he’ll just end up being tortured forever. Lake Cole decided to cancel the ability and run for it. Before Lake Cole could escape in the midst of his fans she already jumped to him. Grabbing his head she flipped him over her and crashed him into the ground. Continuously pounding Lake Cole with her fist over and over she said - “Spoiler Alert: Even if you killed Terin I would still kill you.”
Her punches continued without resistance for several minutes until all that’s left from Lake Cole was tattered clothes, shards of bones and red mass.
