《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 310: The Undefeated Shins of Justice

"In...Incizor!" Justin cried in disbelief.
"I...what just happened?" Ted asked as he looked down at the mutated rat that was now on its back.
"What sort of superhuman abilities could you possess," Justin bemoaned dramatically, "that a mere human could best my unbeatable monster?"
"I literally didn't do anything," Ted replied.
"I think I can explain." Sid interjected. "This, Incizor, seems to have rammed into your shin, and knocked itself out in the process."
"What! Impossible," Justin countered.
"I am afraid it is far from impossible," Sid corrected him. "As it has just occured."
"But...head bash was his strongest ability!" Justin cried. "It should've crushed your non monster body."
Justin paused for a second and began to sweat slightly. "But, I uh...I was only attacking another master because you refused to send out your own monsters. Really you pushed me to it. If anyone is to blame, it's you guys."
"Okay, I'm still lost," Ted claimed. "Why don't we take a step back and all get to the same page?"
"Could you maybe shove that giant rat back inside your watch or wherever it came from?" Harold said with an apprehensive gulp.
Justin gnashed his teeth together as he raised up his watch by his face again. He clicked another button on it, and then flung his arm out towards the defeated monster, and aimed the face of his watch at it. A beam of light shot out from the watch, and the monster shone bright until it dissolved back into just a cartridge again.
Then, as if pulled by some magnetic force, the cartridge flew back towards Justin. As it came hurtling towards him, he snatched it out of the air with his hand, and slid it back into his watch.

"Hmph," Justin scoffed before he smiled and struck another seemingly impossible pose. "You seem to have more moxie than I thought. Perhaps it's time that I showed you my real Trump card! Hah! Prepare yourself for..."
"Wait, hold on a minute!" Ted called out.
Justin nearly fell over himself as Ted cut him off. His face turned bright red and he yelled angrily, "Hey! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt people? I had this whole speech thing ready and everything."
Justin grumbled under his breath as he tried to regain his composure. Finally, he ran a hand back through his prominent hair and put on a pompous smile.
"Huhuhu," he chuckled as he waged a finger at Ted. "Did you really think a mere distraction would be enough to throw a member of team Shadow off of their game? Hardly. All you've done is anger me more."
He spun around and raised his hand up into the air before he lowered it and pointed directly at Ted. "You have nowhere to run now. Prepare yourself to face my ultimate monster. The great...the powerful...the absolutely..."
Ted sighed. Justin continued to describe his monster, and he really did want to try and explain things. But, with how he took it the last time, Ted figured that it would be better if he waited it out.
"...that's right!" Justin continued. "My unbeatable monster, Incizor!"
With practiced elegance, Justin thew out a familiar looking chip. As it landed, the knocked out Incizor appeared on its back just as it had been left before.
Justin practically deflated as he saw his defeated monster. Although he also seemed genuinely surprised.
"That creature already defeated itself." Sid reminded him.
"Maybe we could slow down and talk about how you got here?" Ted suggested.

"As long as you make that disgusting creature disappear again," Harold shivered.
Justin looked down in confusion. "Wait, when did I?"
As inspiration seemed to strike Justin, he raised his hand up into the air. "Ah! That's it. I got all turned around when you interrupted my fantastic speech earlier. Quite rudely I must add."
"Yeah, sorry about that," Ted said. "Oh, uh by the way my name is Ted. That's Sid, and this is Harold."
Harold sighed. "Being called by my first name. So disrespectful."
"Sorry, I didn't..." Ted started to apologize, but Harold held up his hands.
"No, no." Harold assured him. "It's fine. I lost my seat of power when I was banished from my school. Whatever happened, I have no real power anymore." There was clear sadness in his voice as he mentioned his lost authority.
Justin held himself up high, like a noble king as he used the light of his watch to bring back his defeated Incizor again. As it was re-sealed in his watch, he put his pointer finger and thumb over his chin and smirked. "Well then, Sid, Ted, and Harold. It seems you must be confused. I did say I was with team Shadow, did I not? Aren't you aware of what we do with those who oppose us?"
"Curious," Sid mumbled. "He seems completely unaware he is no longer in his home dimension."
"Home what now?" Justin asked.
"Well, you see..." Ted cleared his throat before he continued. "We uh...well, everyone here almost died. But instead of actually dying they ended up here. Well, except maybe me, but that's not important right now."
"I don't quite follow?" Justin replied.
Ted had hoped this would go a lot smoother. But, he supposed that there was no helping it.
"You just showed up in this forest didn't you?" Ted tried to explain. "Like, you didn't actually make your way here, right? You just sort of suddenly appeared here."
"I...did I?" Just asked more to himself.
"Think back." Ted continued. "Something must've happened to you. What was going on right before you just appeared here. Do you remember?"
Justin's face became vacant and his eyes seemed to stare fat into the distance. "I...I was..."
