THE PSYCHO CONSPIRACY
Episode 1: How It Began
Mists swirled in the dank nothingness that was. A single being flickered its eyelid as it sensed a new power coming towards it. Boredom had filled this creature’s soul for what seemed for more then a millennium, although in reality the creature had only existed for MABYE 3 hours. But could an oncoming force sate this creature’s eternal boredom?
Lawrence the Third was getting frustrated. Ever since that whiny weenie boy had defeated him life had never been the same. It seemed collecting pokémon just didn't cut it anymore. He needed something more exciting to get him through life. So Lawrence had gone treasure hunting. Let's just say so far for Lawrence it hadn't been too successful - the best he had been able to get so far was pirates gold, but eventually, HOPEFULLY, he would come upon that amazing piece of treasure, that dream that would make him tons of money, so he could retire peacefully. The man beside him sneered.
"You retire?"
Lawrence pushed the man beside him. The man's name was Kagato - or Lord Kagato as he liked to be called. He had a mane of slivery white hair and strange, yet intriguing yellow eyes.
"Don't read my thoughts jerk!" Lawrence retorted. Law himself had blond spiked hair, of which he was very proud. "Are you saying I'll never get the treasure of all treasures?" "What do you think I was saying fool?"
It was hard to explain how these two got into the treasure hunting business, seeing as they are from different parts of the world, but that is a story best left for later. Their bickering finally stopped when they came upon a strange gate. The strange thing about the gate was that it was in the middle of nowhere… in fact it seemed to lead to absolutely nothing. Kagato floated towards the gate.
"I wonder what this is doing here. I guess I might as well open it."
The strange-eyed man opened the gate. There was a sudden flash of light! Kagato cried out as some unknown being leapt from the portal and kicked him in the face. What emerged from the portal was unlike anything the two had seen before. Actually that's not true. It was a rabbit. But it was strange. Its eyes were wild and crazy, its teeth seemed to be too big for its mouth, and they were oddly pointed, like those of a carnivore… In fact the first name that came to Lawrence's mind was… Psycho Rabbit. The creature clicked its teeth and immediately jumped on Kagato and started tearing at his leg.
"Back fiend back!" Lawerence yelled as he kicked at the thing.
"OWW!" Kagato yelled as Lawrences foot accidentally connected with his head.
The rabbit jumped off him, clicked its teeth, grinned, and shot away.
"Get up idiot!" Law yelled.
He pulled out a small device and called his ship. It looks like a life of adventure was right back on track. Time to catch something, but not a pokémon.
"Who knows what we've released on the world?" Kagato said as he rubbed his head.
And so the hunt for the Psycho Rabbit had begun…
***************************
Episode 2: Fried Rice!!!
On a small island, sadly duplicated to look like the island used for Survivor 2, a small sad group of outcasts sat down to their daily dosage of Keith's fried rice. Kimmi looked at the rice in dismay.
"What if this has meat in it…"
Kel sat down and munched contently on a piece of beef jerky. Michael was happily burning his own arm, smiling all the while. The other Survivor outcasts simply sat and looked adoringly at the man at the head of the table. All except for one - Jeff Varner simply sat by himself, looking bored and somewhat melancholy. Michael was happily burning his own arm, smiling all the while. And at the head of the table was the must horrible, disgusting, all eating thing in the world… Rich!! He held in his hand a trident with a dead fish drooping of it sadly. He had moved to the Drop Off Island when he heard that they would worship someone like him. Now all the outcasts excluding Jeff were watching him with adoring eyes as he guzzled down his rice. Yes. Jeff thought. I definitely need a new life.
On another island just east of Drop Off Island, Psycho Rabbit landed. He just ate a bag of coffee beans and was ready for action! The strange rabbit wandered about aimlessly until the scent of baking cookies filled his nostrils. His crazed eyes lit up and he grinned wildly and ran towards the house.
Knuckles watched silently as Sonic cooked up a batch of cookies. What ever happened to Robotnik? He wondered silently. Ever since that menace had left Knuckles had found his boredom increasing high. All this was about to change. Sonic and Knuckles turned around in surprise as the door went flying off it's hinges. From the dust emerged the strangest creature the two had ever seen. Psycho Rabbit, not missing a beat, flew through the air, knocked Sonic straight out the window and headed right for the cookies.
Lawrence and Kagato watched on their screen as the small point that was Psycho Rabbit flew around a small, unmarked island.
"Haha!" Kagato sneered. "We can get that rabbit now! But what are we going to do with it?"
Law turned to face Kagato. "I have absolutely no idea."
"SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF CHASING THE STUPID THING!?" Kagato screamed.
In New York a secret meeting was taking place - a meeting between two people - two very evil people. One sat silently and listened as the other talked to him at his desk. The man who was talking was a clean cut, middle-aged man. He had his hair cut in a smart way and he wore a crisp blue suit. The other had long blond hair, eyes as cold as ice, and a hard unforgiving face. In the pocket of his suit was a heavy firearm.
"…this powerful force is very dangerous." The man was saying. "And I'd like you to destroy it and whatever may be following it."
"And where should I look sir?" The cold-eyed man asked.
"It escaped from storage some how, look on this small chain of islands on the coast of Austrailia!" He pointed at the map.
" I see sir. I will take care of them all. When I am done with them it will be as if they had never been born.
Knuckles took a swipe at the crazed rabbit as it scattered around his vacation home. Psycho Rabbit quickly popped a cookie into his mouth and continued his crazed run around the house.
"Arg!" Knuckles exclaimed and jumped straight at the rabbit.
Back on Law's ship Kagato knocked Lawrence over and looked greedily at the screen.
"Yes! That bunny's right in our screen! Time to take him out!"
Lawrence walked up and bopped him on the head. "Get out of the way!"
He pressed a button and a ball flew down to catch Psycho Rabbit.
At that very moment Knuckles lunged to the place where Psycho Rabbit was standing. The bunny darted out of the way and the ball caught Knuckles instead. The Echidna pounded helplessly on the ball as it brought him back to the ship. What popped out surprised them both. Knuckles let out an angry growl and punched Kagato out. He then circled Lawrence wearily.
"What the heck is going on?"
Kagato woke up half way through Law's story.
"How dare you punch me out foolish rodent!" He cried and ran straight for Knuckles.
Knuckles raised his fist and punched him out again.
"Continue." He said.
***************************
Episode 3: Conflict!!
The torches were dimmed as Rich stood up to make his nightly announcement. He was wearing a disgusting array of purple colours this night, and it seemed his nasty potbelly was sticking out even more this night then usual. Or so thought Jeff as he watched the pathetic man make his speech on winning Survivor.
"How did this loser ever win?" Jeff thought silently to himself.
All the losers were enticed by the fat man when a dark shape erupted from the water.
Kagato watched sullenly as Knuckles and Lawrence discussed what they would do to cut off the rabbit's crazed travel throughout Australia. His strange eye's glittered as he watched the two discuss, how maddening it was. How he'd just like to use his energy blade and…
" Hey Kagato!" Law said as he pushed him. "Look we're homing in on that stupid bunny!"
"ARG! Don't push me insolent fool!" He growled. "Aha, that is very true."
His eyes followed the green dot that was Psycho Rabbit. Knuckles came up beside him.
"I wonder where Sonic is now, I think I sort of left him hanging out the window!"
Rich's ugly face turned into a frown when he saw the dark shape blast from the water. How dare a stupid creature interrupt his important, stupid speech? He grabbed his trident with the fish hanging from it. Time for whatever it was to die!
Psycho Rabbit giggled crazily and jumped on to the table that the outcasts were having dinner at. He grabbed the jerky that Kel was about to put in his mouth and ate it. He then lunged at the torch that Michael was carrying. The psychotic bunny grabbed it and set the table on fire. He then ran about like a fool, laughing at the top of his lungs and knocking things over.
A laser blade sprung to life on Kagato's hand as the ship approached the island. Law rubbed his hands together in anticipation. They would catch that bunny for sure! Knuckles prepared to jump from the ship.
"I'm going to get that rabbit for wasting perfectly good cookie dough!"
Andre Lalino heard a knock on his door. The sturdy large man walked over to the door and opened it up. The man that was at the door had eyes like chips of ice and long blond hair…it was the villain! Of course Andre knew nothing of the evil man.
"What do you want?" He asked rudely.
The villain simply pulled out a gun and blew his head off.
"Your car." He said in a monotone voice.
He grabbed the keys from the dead man’s jacket and headed off.
Rich watched as the Psycho Rabbit pitted and destroyed absolutely everything on the island. He was about to launch his trident when he saw something else that interested him even more… A huge ship was heading towards his island! And a red shape had just leapt from it on to the coast. He aimed and fired the trident.
The results were disastrous. A blast of flame entered the hall of Lawrence’s ship. Kagato screamed as his hair was lit on fire. He ran straight into Law who was knocked out of the ship.
"AGGGH!" Kagato screamed and he jumped from the ship and into the water.
A second later it fell to the island and blew into pieces.
Lawrence rubbed his head as he got up. He sighed when he saw the pieces of his ship spread across the now burning island. Darn that insolent rabbit that was causing all the trouble! He saw the rabbit jumping about. Law grabbed a piece of wood and ran for the crazed bunny.
Kagato raised from the water and felt his burnt head. "Owww." He moaned to himself. He could see several castaways running his way. He let loose a blast of energy and destroyed them. He once again summoned the energy blade to him and ran for the rabbit.
Knuckles ducked as Jerri took a swing at him. He returned the punch and sent her flying. Another castaway ran at him. He knocked this one out too. But two more were still coming. Would this ever end?
Rich was the first to reach the rabbit. He took out his handy knife and swung at the ill-fated rabbit. The lunatic was too quick though - he jumped out of the way. At the same time Kimmi jumped in front of him.
"Leave the poor bunny alone! Eating meat is a si…"
Law knocked the vegetarian over the head with the piece of wood.
"Now I'll get you bunny!"
Psycho Rabbit froze when he heard that. Nobody ever dared to call him bunny! He lunged straight at Law's face. Law ducked and the rabbit landed right on Rich. He started biting the survivor. Law hefted the piece of wood. Time to get that rabbit once and for all!
Jeff Varner saw Lawrence lift the piece of wood. This was it - the time to make a decision - to stay a loser or get a life… Jeff let out a war cry and tackled Lawrence down. Psycho jumped off Rich and landed on Jeff's back. Jeff cringed, but the rabbit did not bite. Jeff started running for the path, Psycho Rabbit on his back.
Kagato's energy blade slashed through the air and cut another of the loser cast-offs in half. He sprinted towards Lawrence but when he got there Psycho Rabbit and Jeff had already gotten away.
"Damnations!" He cried.
***************************
Episode 4: Captain Cow
In a small town there once lived an old hick whose name was Billy Joe Bumbler Dee the third, but most people called him Fred. He seemed like a normal ole' farmer hick, he had a bunch of cows and a large barn. But something horrible happened to poor Fred one day. One of his cows went mad. This cow was, already… different, lets say from the others, and this change made all the difference. The cow transformed and became something more deadly, or so the cow wished. In fact, the cow didn't even take over the barnyard. Fred simply went out of business. And so the cow escaped, and now he rampaged around the area… an area that Jeff and Psycho Rabbit were fast approaching.
Jeff swung the late Rich's knife to cut down more of the vines that covered the path. Jeff really didn't know what he was doing with the crazy rabbit, but it definitely was a lot better then worshiping some stupid man that won some stupid show. Jeff heard Psycho Rabbit giggle from his back. The rabbit then leapt from him and dashed into the bushes. Jeff chased after it. He saw the rabbit wildly attacking a boar.
"Oh shoot!"
He chased after it.
Lawrence impatiently brushed the vines out of his hair. This path was really starting to try his patience. Kagato lit up his energy sword.
'Put that away idiot!" Knuckles growled. 'Do you want to bring the whole freakin' forest down on us?"
Law hit Knuckles on the head. "Shut up! We'll go a lot quicker!"
Knuckles retaliated with a punch. Lawrence growled and pounced on Knuckles. The two rolled about in the dirt. Kagato sighed, then growled, then jumped right in.
Crystal Bandicoot lazed out on a lawn chair in the front yard. The sun soaked into her fur, shone brightly on the ground, and made it an all-together good day. Crystal heard a loud sound down the street - it sounded suspiciously like a moo. She sprang to her feet and grabbed the bottle of sun tan lotion that lay beside her. Not a great weapon, but it would have to do. She ran down the street towards the jungle path.
Meanwhile the Evil Villain had reached Drop-Off Island. Smoke swirled about the sand, trees and huts were collapsed all around and it seemed no living creatures were in sight. A-ha. The Villain thought. But I'm getting closer and closer. He found Rich's dead body lying near a small jungle path. Small bite marks surrounded the man's fat face. When The Villain inspected the trees he saw similar bite marks. And slash marks… made by some sort of blade. It looks like he was still right on track! The Evil Villain continued on his way.
Psycho Rabbit and Jeff emerged from the long path. Jeff looked around. They seemed to be in a small neighbourhood, there were paved roads and houses all about - and a giant cow. Jeff suddenly realised what he had just seen. A giant cow with red eyes, and a large blue cape was running towards them.
"Moooooo! Captain Moooo Cow!"
The crazed cow jumped at him. Jeff didn't even have time to blink before the thing flew away with him. Psycho Rabbit let out a crazed screech and tried to catch it but it was too fast. Psycho dropped to the ground panting, a sad expression on it's face.
Crystal found Psycho like this. She picked the critter up. He gnashed his teeth and pointed into the air. In the distance Crystal could see a large shape flying in the distance. And at that moment Knuckles Lawrence and Kagato popped out of the path.
"Give us the rabbit!" Kagato yelled. An energy ball appeared in his hands. 'Or I'll destroy you where you stand!"
Crystal took up an attutidish pose. "You gonna fight me boy? You'll regret it! I'm trying to help this rabbit!"
Knuckles, being the most compassionate of the group, walked up. "Why? What happened?"
Crystal explained the cow.
"Hmmm interesting." Knuckles mused.
Meanwhile Lawrence was pondering about the giant cow…perhaps if they caught it they could make a ton of money!!
"Let's get that cow!"
***************************
Episode 5: The Rescue
A long "Moooooooooo" filled the moon light sky. All the hickish farmers about trembled at the spookishly stupid sound. Chickens bundled up closer when the large shape flew overhead. It was the one, the great, the stupid, Captain Cow! And in a burlap sack tied to his back was his captive Jeff. Captain Cow had the must stupid evil plan in the world… he would milk this human! That would show humanity! He let off another moo and flew off to his barn.
Kagato couldn't believe how fast things had changed. One minute they were chasing that silly bunny head over heels and now that it was within their grasp, Knuckles and this new bandicoot girl wouldn't let them get it! Lawrence looked back at Kagato. He seemed to be fuming. The moonlight made his enraged eyes worse; they glinted like cold steel. But how could Law blame Kagato for being upset. They had spent so much time chasing after that stupid rabbit, and now the two goodie goodie's wouldn't let them take the darn thing! Psycho Rabbit stopped and began to gnaw on his foot. Crystal sat down beside him, looking agitated.
"How are we ever going to find that mad cow?"
Kagato looked into the distance. Standing in a hay field was a large barn. And flying towards it was a huge shape. Psycho Rabbit's crazed eyes saw it and he took off immediately. Crsytal jumped up and followed, Knuckles close behind. Lawrence came second and last was Kagato.
"I can't wait 'till that rabbit dies…"
Captain Cow landed outside his barn. All the other animals cried out as he walked by, for his aura of stupidity hit them and their I.Q. immediately went down. He threw Jeff onto the ground and began to set up the milking machine.
"Moooooooo Milk Mooooooo!" The stupid cow cheered.
Crystal took the lead as they entered the hay field. It was hard to see for the moonlight was hardly enough to light the way. Crystal looked at her new companions. It seemed strange that only this morning she was sun bathing on her front yard and now she was with these strangers… Suddenly they were at the barn.
The Evil Villain entered the hay field just as the party of five reached the barnyard door. He took out a special bullet that was made to burn on impact. He could see the foolish creatures from where he stood. They would all burn! BURN!
Captain Cow started when he saw the five warriors enter his barn. One was some sort of red anteater, two were human beings, one with startling cobra-like eyes. Another was what seemed to be a rabbit yet it was jumping around at a pace far to quick for any rabbit Captain Cow had seen. Then finally was a bandicoot girl.
"Mooooooo DIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!"
The cow cried and it leapt straight for its enemies. Knuckles eyes burned like purple flame and he leapt onto the crazed cow. His fists moved quick and hard but they did nothing to Captain Cow's head. Knuckles suddenly sprang back, he felt stupider… he didn't know but Captain Cow's aura of stupidity had weakened him. The cow flicked him away. Lawrence picked up a lamb and started hitting him with it. But it just had the same results. Psycho Rabbit jumped on his back and began to bite him rapidly. Jeff got out of the burlap sac and saw them fighting the ugly fat cow. He found a pitchfork lying across the floor. Jeff grabbed it and jumped down. The cow's behind was facing him… only one thing to do… The cow screamed as Jeff stabbed his bottom with the pitchfork. The cow screeched and fell into a vat of milk!
"Moooooo can't swim!" The cow screamed.
The group turned away from it and began to walk. Knuckles looked around.
"Darn! Jeff and the rabbit are gone!"
Kagato's eyes flared with rage. "Darn you all! They're gone ag…"
The barn door blasted open. The Evil Villain entered the barn, raised his gun, and blasted the hay. It shot up in flames.
"Burn baby burn!" The Evil Villain grinned.
Law, Knux, and Crystal began to run for the other exit, but Kagato ran straight for The Evil Villain.
***************************
Episode 6: The Battle!!
Shards of wood fell to the ground as Kagato ran straight for The Evil Villain. The Evil Villain drew his gun while Kagato's blade appeared in his hand. The Evil Villain's gun fired off several rounds that Kagato dodged with deadly ease. Knuckles, Lawrence and Crystal could only watch as they battled it out.
Jeff and Psycho Rabbit slipped out the window and landed one the ground, just outside of the cornfield. The two ran until they reached a large ledge. Jeff had tied a rope to his back to keep on the pitchfork. It was a bad weapon but a weapon was a weapon. Psycho Rabbit jumped and gnashed its teeth in excitement as it looked over the cliff. Jeff saw what Psycho was grinning about. There was Sydney, in all its beauty. How easy it would be to adapt to city life again! Yet as if a mar against the scenery was a large twisted tower, a blot on the landscape. It was unknown to them, but it was… Cortex Castle.
Three brutes pushed their way through the wilderness of Australia - one a gargantuan tiger, another a large koala bear, and the last a fat ex-tribe leader. Tiny Tiger, Koala Kong, and Papu Papu. Cortex had sent them to "scout" out the area while he really just wanted them out of his hair. That was when the three saw Psycho Rabbit and Jeff on the ledge. Of course they were going to try to cause trouble.
Kagato's blade flashed through the air, a dark messenger of doom while The Evil Villain’s bullets blasted around them. Flaming pieces of wood dropped around the two as they fought. Kagato's blade flashed through the air and chopped The Evil Villain's gun in half. The blade then flashed again and impaled The Evil Villain through the heart. The assassin didn't even gasp as he slid off the end of the blade and fell to the ground.
"Farewell dear enemy."
Jeff jumped in surprise as the three brutes jumped into the clearing. Papu Papu grinned.
"You be in big trouble now."
Tiny roared and Kong clenched his fists. Psycho Rabbit bared his teeth menacingly and Jeff drew out his pitchfork.
"Wanna fight boys?"
Tiny's growling increased. "Bring it!"
Kagato's sword disappeared and he headed for the exit. Lawrence jumped down beside him.
"So now what do we do? You killed the bloke."
A piece of ceiling fell and blasted into shreds. Kagato's eyes glittered spookily in the flaming light.
"We'll get out of here before this barn comes down on us."
Knuckles leapt from the rafters, Crystal safely in his hands. "Let's go."
Tiny lunged at Psycho Rabbit, but the crazed bunny was too quick. It grasped him around the neck and began to bite him. At the same time Kong tried a punch on Jeff. Jeff's reflexes were quick though. He whacked Kong with the handle of the pitchfork. The koala bear staggered, stunned. Jeff slashed through again and knocked Kong to the ground. Papu Papu attempted to come up behind him but Psycho Rabbit, showing a feat of incredible strength knocked him over. They looked at the three downed villains. Suddenly Psycho Rabbit took off into the bushes. Jeff cursed then followed. And Psycho Rabbit was heading straight for Cortex Castle…
In the rubble of the barn something stirred…and a hand rose from the burnt wood.
***************************
Episode 7: The Origin Of Psycho Rabbit
A cold breeze swept through the dark twisted corridors of Cortex Castle. A small man walked through these halls, the small amount of sunlight that could get in reflecting of the metallic side of his face. Dr. Nathan Gin was bored with his life. It all seemed to be one long disappointment after another - Cortex's failed missions, Uka Uka's constant screeching… it all seemed stupid, useless, and pointless. Nathan could still remember one invention though, that had entertained him until it became a risk to the world, just like everything else the sad doctor tried to make. Nathan walked up to the window, the wind blowing his red hair. Two dark shapes were running through the wilderness. It seemed they were running straight for Cortex Castle! How interesting. Nathan thought blandly to himself. Then he recognized the one in front and got the biggest thrill for the last month! It was his creation!
Crystal impatiently tried to brush the ash of her clothing! Darn that barn! They had been walking for at least a day and the ash still didn't come off. Lord Kagato and Lawrence were having a whispered conference, and Knuckles was sitting by himself, his purple eyes glancing off into the distance. Crystal's feet were sore from walking, as were her legs, and her eyes stung from all the smoke there had been in the barn. What a bad deal. They now were nearing a ledge of stone. Knuckles suddenly started and gasped.
"Look over there!" He pointed.
Three large creatures were lying unconscious on the ground just 20 feet from them. One, a large tiger, had bite marks all over his face.
"Psycho Rabbit was here!" Lawrence exclaimed! "Yes we've got the little bugger now!" He went over and saw some bushes had been cleared. "Excellent! Let's get going!"
Psycho Rabbit and Jeff slowly approached the door to the large castle. Jeff once again armed himself with the pitchfork, which had served as a good enough weapon so far. Jeff threw open the door. A small man was in the doorway.
"I've been hoping to see you for a long time."
A few minutes later…
"Now that we have settled in I will start my story. My name is Dr. Nathan Gin and that creature beside you, he is my creation."
Jeff looked surprised. "You mean you made Psycho Rabbit? He's your creation?" Nathan nodded. "Well then Dr., with no further ado let me let you start your story.”
Before Nathan Gin had become Cortex's right hand, he had done many experiments with a man, Dr. Baldwin. Together these two had been a killer team, creating deadly robots and monsters. In fact they had been the ones to make the proto type for the E-Volvo ray. Those two had had plans, great ones. And they had created a powerful creature… Psycho Rabbit. This creature was supposed to be the prototype for animals that could make up an entire army! But Baldwin got too obsessed with his newfound power, and became a monster himself. To keep the evil man from using Psycho Rabbit as a weapon he locked the creature up, hoping no one would open up the gate. And now Psycho Rabbit was free…
"And if Baldwin knows you could be in grave danger. If he wants the rabbit he will go at any end to get it."
Psycho Rabbit, how seemed to be bored was gnawing on his foot. Jeff seemed to be thinking.
"Where can we find this Baldwin man?"
"I believe he's in New York now."
Jeff stood up. "Then let's find him."
Nathan also stood up. "But first let me get you some weapons. You've worked well with that pitchfork but you need a real weapon."
Knuckles was the first to come upon the large cliff where Cortex Castle stood.
"Time to kick some ass!"
Jeff, N. Gin and Psycho Rabbit were prepared to leave the castle. Jeff had two filled gun holsters strapped across his hips. Nathan looked at him.
"You look like a gunslinger." Nathan laughed.
They threw open the doors. The other four were waiting.
"Time for you to go down!"
***************************
Episode 8: Sydney
Jeff Varner found his guns came surprisingly quick into his hands. In just a moment his fingers had landed on the hammers and quickly loaded the revolvers. They seemed fit for his hands… At the same time Kagato summoned the deadly laser blade that had once the bane of the Tenchi warriors. And when he looked upon Jeff's face he saw the same steely look that inhabited the haunted eyes of the Tenchi warriors. He headed towards him. Crystal and Lawrence headed towards N. Gin thinking the short doctor would be an easy target. And finally Knuckles's violet flaming eyes settled on the deadly Psycho Rabbit.
Kagato lanced towards Jeff with fatal speed. But the ex-survivor moved with similar speed. The guns barrels blasted off like cannons as the bullets blasted the ground around the Lord stopping him from moving.
Knuckles closed in on Psycho Rabbit with a fiery rage. His fists windmilled towards him with deadly speed and strength. Psycho Rabbit grinned like a maniac and sped towards the Rad Red.
Lawrence tore a branch of a tree, brandishing it like a club. Crystal ran forward, thinking of the training lessons her father had given her. N. Gin's rocket blasted off.
"You will all be deleted!"
In the time it took for Jeff to click the hammers on his guns Kagato was at him, sword flashing. The Lord brought his leg into the ex-survivors stomach and he fell to the ground. Kagato raised his sword but Jeff's speed proved superior and he blasted a bullet straight through his arm. Green blood spattered across his face and on the grass. Kagato's eyes turned white in surprise and he screamed out in rage. An energy ball appeared in his hand.
"DIE OUTCAST!"
Psycho Rabbit let out a giggle of pain as Knuckles's enormous fist smacked into him, knocking him backwards. The dangerous fighter lifted his fist once more. N. Gin ducked out from under Crystal and saw the poor rabbit. It was time to show them power!
"Psycho Rabbit unleash your power!" He cried!
Knuckles gaped in surprise as Psycho Rabbit's eyes became slits of blue. A second later the echidna went flying, electricity crackling around him. He landed on the ground, unconscious, 20 feet away. Kagato looked around just as the rabbit rose into the air. His fur had turned electric blue and an aura of power surrounded him. The energy ball in Kagato's hand exploded and knocked him down. Psycho Rabbit turned his now blue gaze upon Crystal and Law. Crystal tried to advance but electricity pulsed around her and she too fell. Lawrence backed off. N. Gin looked around then yelled out another command. Psycho Rabbit glowed once more and all three of them vanished. Lawrence shook his head and began to tend to the injured.
In an alley in Sydney there was a bright flash of blue and Jeff, Nathan, and Psycho Rabbit apparated. Psycho Rabbit's fur was back to white, his eyes there normal crazed themselves. Jeff looked over at Nathan.
"How did you do that?? And what happened?"
Nathan turned towards him. "That was Psycho Rabbit's true power. With the right words he could destroy a town, a nation. Which is why Baldwin wanted him. And still probably does."
Jeff was silent for a moment and he played with the holster for his guns. "So is this Baldwin character after us?"
"Probably" Nathan responded.
"Then we'd better get down to business then."
Cortex let out a crazed laugh as he looked at his new inventions. Three things stood in front of him. They were bandicoots… somewhat. They had robotic like arms and faces.
"Bwhahahahha! Thought you could get away that easily Nathan Gin?"
Jeff and Nathan went outside after they left Psycho Rabbit in a room in a saloon at town. The two walked and talked about Baldwin, and the threat he may pose. Nathan was in the middle of a heated explanation of Baldwin's deadly experiments when the familiar sound of warp orbs opened up behind them. Three cyborg-ish type creatures appeared behind them. Jeff reacted with the same startling speed he used against Kagato. Two bullets blasted from each gun and shattered into one of the creatures. It knocked it back but did not seem to do any damage. N. Gin pulled out a deadly laser gun and blasted it at the other creature but it also seemed to take no damage. The hammers clicked on his revolvers and two more bullets blasted into one of the creatures heads. This time the creatures head sparked and it fell, limp to the ground. N. Gin cried out as the other two ganged up on him. Jeff went to reload but realized such a thing could not be done. If he shot at the robots he may hit Nathan. But this problem was soon solved. A flash of orange rocketed from the sky and hit one of the creatures with such incredible speed and strength that it blew up. The other one turned to the strange spiky haired man and its head was blown in by two more of Jeff's bullets. Goku looked at Nathan and Jeff with friendly eyes.
"I thought you guys needed some help!"
***************************
Episode 9: Evil Revealed
Goku, Psycho Rabbit, Jeff and Nathan sat around a table in the saloon. Jeff had just finished explaining the happenings of the last few days. Goku brushed back his night black hair and looked at the strange rabbit that sat silently gnawing his hand.
"So this creature… could be the destruction or salvation of the world as we know it?"
Nathan nodded his head. "And if my old friend Baldwin has heard about it…"
Jeff sat back as Nathan and Goku began to talk about Baldwin. Jeff's eyes once again fell to a man that was watching him from the dark corner with icy blue eyes. The man suddenly strolled over. He wore a long jacket that totally covered his body and a hat that shadowed his face.
"Come with me man. There is much to discuss."
Nobody noticed Jeff leave.
Two guards sat at the poll to Sydney. Usually work was quite boring in this area. Not many people travelled from the edge of Australia and even when they did they were just normal citizens who wanted to go to Sydney for a vacation. But this was all about to change. One of the guards saw a shadow in the dim light. He walked over to the booth. The man he saw was in terrible shape. His clothing was torn and burnt, there was a dark hole that showed through his abdomen, it seemed somebody had stabbed straight through him.
"Yo man - are you OK…"
The burnt up man grabbed him around his throat and threw him through the air like he was a doll. The guard shattered through a brick wall and out of sight. His buddy got up, but there was no chance of survival. The Evil Villain broke his neck like a dry stick. He slumped to the ground.
"My mission will be completed."
Lawrence and the others walked about searching for their enemies. What they found surprised them much more… The Evil Villain, the one Kagato had impaled, was walking straight towards them.
The man took Jeff by the shoulder.
"Listen!! You will be great one day!!! Just beware, something is going to happen that will…"
A wall shattered and The Evil Villain caught the man by the neck. He threw the stranger through the window where he lay limp. Jeff's guns were out in a second, and the hammers clicked twice. The Evil Villain fell to the ground, 4 gun shot wounds standing out on his shirt. Goku, Psycho Rabbit and Nathan came at the sound of the gunshots. Knuckles, Crystal, Lawrence and Kagato also heard the gunshots. They followed the trail of the Evil Villain. All 8 came to rest around the dead man. Kagato's thin lips slit open a grin.
"Looks like I've finally found what I've been looking for."
As the fighters got into their battle stance The Evil Villain twitched on the ground. Jeff looked down in surprise. The man got up once again. His eyes glowed yellow and he appeared to be growing in size and width. His skin turned metal and he finally stopped growing at nine feet. The Evil Villain was really a robot.
"Oh shoot." Nathan muttered to himself.
***************************
Episode 10: The Psycho Conspiracy
The large robot rose into the air. He was black with red highlights on his arms, and his eyes were yellow points of light. Kagato summoned his sword to his hand and flew into the air to meet the new enemy.
"Let me instruct you in pain!" Kagato screamed.
He slashed forward with inhuman speed, but the robot was just as quick. The hunk of metal dodged around him and brought his fist into the Lord's face. He shrieked and fell to the ground. The robot then spun around to meet Goku, whose fists quickly beat a pattern on the robot's face. It didn't even seem to affect the deadly assassin, who grabbed the fighter and threw him to the ground.
Lawerence and Crystal looked around as Knuckles tried desperately to take the robot down. Crystal spotted a switch not to far away… and it was right next to a car compactor. She and Law ran towards it as the others fought with the overgrown trash can.
Psycho Rabbit jumped on The Evil Villain and dug it's claws into the robot’s eyes. The robot squirmed beneath it as its teeth dug into the robots face and back. Jeff put more bullets into his gun and could only watch as Psycho Rabbit and The Evil Villain struggled along. As Jeff looked around he suddenly realized fate. The robot was slowly backing into the car compactor; Law and Crystal were right next to the switch all it would need would be a little push… Suddenly a ball of energy whooshed past his head, his hair flew about and it smacked straight into the Evil Villain. The robot was knocked straight into the compactor and Psycho jumped off him. Lawrence the Third pushed the button and all four walls started to close in on the doomed robot.
"You'll all die!!" He shreiked! "When Master Baldwin gets a hold of you it's bye bye time!"
Sparks flew from his body as his back began to get crushed. He let out one more screech and then the compactor finished its job.
They all went to where the robot had been standing. It was now a solid block of metal, totally destroyed. N. Gin, who looked spooked, sighed.
"It is Baldwin we're against. These are his robots… we must get to New York and quickly."
Kagato summoned his sword once again. "Not before we destroy you!!"
Knuckles stood between them. "Quiet Kag! We must help if this Baldwin is as much as a danger as he seems."
N. Gin nodded his head. "We'll need all the help we can get to defeat Baldwin and stop him from getting Psycho Rabbit. Now we just need a way to get to New York…"
Lawrence looked up. "I wish I could help… but Rich destroyed the Hikoyuko."
Kagato stood up, his eyes blazing. "I will give you the use of my Soja, but if anything happens to it you will all DIE!!!! It's this way."
***************************
Episode 11: The Soja (Also known as: Baldwin's true name)
The clean cut man that you will all remember from Episode Two of this epic story was silently waiting outside an office that said clearly on the door "Dr. Baldwin" A shaken woman came out of the door, looking worried.
"You can come in to see Baldwin now." She said. "But be careful…he's in a bad mood."
The man walked into Baldwin's laboratory. An old man sat at the table. He had a long crazed beard and hair that stood two feet off his head. His eyes were crazed and he had pointed teeth.
"What is it now Smith???" Baldwin asked, his voice strangely high.
"Well you see Baldwin…"
"DON'T CALL ME BALDWIN!!!" Baldwin (or so we thought) screeched. "THERE’S NO ONE AROUND!!! CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME OR I'LL BURN YOU!!! BURN AHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!"
Smith shrunk back. "Sorry. As I was saying, there's been a problem…"
"SAY MY NAME!!!" The doctor screamed. "SAY IT! SAY IT!"
Smith shrunk back once again. "Hiko-San! Happy now!?! Jeez."
Hiko-San smiled. "Thank you. Go on."
Smith started again. "Your robot… Golem #29, they destroyed it."
Hiko-San's face contorted in rage once again. "WHAT!?!?!?!?! ARRRRRGGGG!!!!!" He began to pull his hair out.
"It's OK sir!" Smith cried. "I've got a track on them! They're heading straight here!"
Hiko-san once again started smiling with a bunch of hair in his hand. "Good. Kill them."
Law was walking around the Soja, looking at it admiringly. It was truly magnificent, the outside resembled snake and the inside was like, almost like a church! What a nice replacement this would be for my poor ruined ship. He thought to himself. "Nice isn't it?" Goku came up behind him saying it as if he had read his mind. Lawrence turned to meet him.
"Wow! We're two spiky haired people from animes!"
Kagato sat at the controls to the Soja. His strange eyes surveyed the skies while Nathan Gin gave him the instructions to New York. Kagato could almost see a large statue of a woman in the distance…
"That's Lady Liberty!" Nathan informed him. "We are going to be in New York in no time at all!"
That's when they heard a voice outside…no, three voices.
"SURRENDER!! YOU SHALL DIE!!"
Three of Hiko-San's golems flew around the Soja, their yellow eyes glowing fiercely. One of their arms transformed into a gun and the robot began to shoot at the ship.
Kagato's eyes turned white in rage as heard the bullets hitting his precious ship. He flew up and out of the ship to meet them. The one with the gun arm began to shoot at him. Kagato summoned his laser blade and cut the robots arm right off. But another one of the deadly creatures grabbed him from behind. Then they all heard a strange cry…
"Kama ma!!!"
Goku appeared, a ball of energy in his hand. He blasted the creature that was holding Kagato and tackled it. The third one was running for Kagato when Lawrence opened the hatch. It cried out and went flying to the water. Its heavy body sunk to the ground of the sea. Goku and Kagato used the same tactic, and soon the other two robots were gone too.
Lawrence was sitting down for bed when there was a frantic knocking on his door. When Law opened up the door Psycho Rabbit suddenly jumped through, landed on his head and jumped around like a fool. Lawrence knew there was only one thing to do… He suddenly grabbed…THE HAIR GEL!!!!"
"Come here little rabbit!"
He grinned evilly. Psycho Rabbit let out a screech, ran around the room, and launched himself into a pool, where he lay hiding.
***************************
Episode 12: Yet Another Conflict
Just a dawn later, the Soja (and its disgruntled passengers) landed on a small isle just off New York. You'd think that everyone would come at the sound of the large engines, and it's snake like shape, but luckily Lord Kagato had turned it invisible, or so he thought. Suddenly people were surrounding the huge ship and taking pictures. At the same time a large black car flew through the air and landed and several men in black stepped out. One of the men held up a little silver device.
"Everyone look here please."
There was a large flash of red and the people around the Soja looked confused. The men in black went back into their car and drove away.
"Wow." Lawrence said. "That had absolutely nothing to do with the story line."
The newly untied 8 warriors walked through the crowded streets of New York. N. Gin was playing around with some sort of device, which Psycho Rabbit was desperately trying to eat.
"Hmmm." He mused to himself as he dodged Psycho Rabbit. "I can see more of Baldwin's robots on the radar, but something else, sorta looks like Kagato?"
Suddenly there was an explosion and two people went flying through the air and landed in front of the 8 warriors. One was a dishevelled looking scientist with dark brown hair. The other was a crazed looking 12-year-old girl with spiky pink hair. Kagato's eyes turned with for a moment.
"Arg Washu!!! What the hell are you doing here???"
The girl named Washu stood up and brushed off her hair. "You eh? Had enough OF HITTING ME KEYBOARDS YET!?"
Kagato let out a sheepish grin. "It's not my fault wanting to rule the world!"
The other man stood up. "Hello everyone! Let's do an experiment!"
Washu looked down at the man. "Mr. Bill Nye, I hardly think now is the time to be doing an experiment!"
Bill sat down and began to mix two liquids. "Don't worry, it won't be a problem!"
The whole countryside was shook by a large explosion as the two liquids hit each other. Bill looked up, his face black.
"Oops."
There was some rustling and another person emerged. It looked exactly like Kagato! Well, almost. He had green hair, and was obviously a LOT younger. Jeff's eyes widened!
"Agh another evil clone robot!"
His gun was out in a second and three bullets blasted the man to the ground. Washu looked down at the dead man.
"Actually, that's The Green Haired Freak Kagato that we were trying to get away from!"
"Meh" Jeff shrugged his shoulders.
Goku in the meanwhile was looking into the distance at a building. "I see robots!!!"
Lawrence looked over. "Me too!! Let's get a move on!!"
When they arrived at the building they saw it was a museum. The robots must have already gone inside. Jeff took out his guns and began to load them as Goku did his stretches and N. Gin continued to track the robots. They entered the museum and were welcomed by gunfire.
They scattered as a robot with a gun arm opened fire on them. Bullets shattered the walls and glass. Jeff shot his own guns at the robotic menace. The bullets simply rebounded off the creature, doing absolutely no damage. N. Gin pulled out a grenade.
"I suggest you all duck." He said as he threw it. There was a large explosion and the robot went flying. "Let's move on!"
The 8 explored the museum more, fought more evil robots, and finally came upon a big steel door. Kagato summoned his energy blade and cut down the door.
"It's time to meet our destiny!"
***************************
Episode 13: Hiko-San's Base
Hiko-San scratched his hair-deprived head and let out a slow moan. How had those warriors broke into his base?
"SMITH GET IN HERE!" He screeched.
The clean-cut man came in through the door. "What is it Sir?"
Hiko-San growled and set a piece of paper on fire. "THOSE IDIOTS HAVE GOTTEN INTO MY BASE!!! KILL THEM!!! KILL THEM!!!!"
Smith cringed and walked out of the room. "I've got the perfect idea." He thought to himself.
Goku and Lawrence split from the group and began to explore the other half of the base. It was somewhat strange considering it was supposed to belong to the smartest scientist in the world. It was all made of Styrofoam, and most of it seemed to be burnt.
"How strange." Goku said.
They continued. And then they heard something that scared them, a man, singing. Goku and Lawrence got into their fighting stances as a man dressed as a fairy stumbled towards them. The man looked at them and started prancing around.
"I'm Magical Guy Pretty Noboyuki!!!!”
Goku's jaw dropped down in surprise. Magical Guy Pretty Noboyuki started tapping Lawrence with his wand.
"Hehehe I'm a little fairy."
Goku grabbed Magical Guy Pretty Noboyuki by the collar and put him against the wall.
"I'm going to punch you so hard your head is going to come out of your backside."
Magical Guy Pretty Noboyuki moaned. "I'll give you videos if you leave me alone!!"
Goku stopped. "Of what?"
Magical Guy Pretty Noboyuki grinned. "Ryoko and Washu, NAKED!!!"
Goku blushed and put him down. "Heh, okay."
Meanwhile the others were fighting more evil robots. Knuckles ducked under the one kicking at him and tripped the hunk of junk into a pool of water. Crystal pulled out a thing of hair spray and sprayed onto another one of the robots, who sparked up and died. Lord Kagato slashed his in half. They were done. The 6 friends walked along another Styrofoam hallway when they came upon a small lobby. They sat down to wait for Goku and Lawrence.
Smith opened the door and his jaw opened in surprise when he saw the six people in the lobby. He pulled out his gun, just as Jeff spotted him. Jeff knocked the others out of the way and opened fire on the clean-cut man who also began to fire bullets. They were both good but Jeff was better. Two of Smith's bullets caught Jeff in the shoulder but Jeff's bullets were fatal. Smith crumpled to the ground in a bloody heap. The door was thrown open and a dishelmed scientist with a flamethrower came out. N. Gin looked up surprised.
"Baldwin!"
Hiko-San screeched. "I'M NOT BALDWIN YOU PIN HEAD!!! MY REAL NAME'S HIKO-SAN!"
He began to set everything on fire. The friends ducked as the flames brushed around them. Then Hiko-San ran the other way, into his laboratory. Jeff grimaced as he ripped up his jacket and put it around his wound.
"We're going to have to go on without Goku and Lawerence."
They ran through the burning hallway.
Goku and Lawrence came to the flaming lobby five minutes later.
"Shoot!" Goku said angrily. "We're gonna have to go fast to catch up with them!"
***************************
Episode 14: Mechs and Men
Goku and Lawrence caught up with the others in the burning hall. They could all hear Hiko-San’s lunatic laughing as the doctor ran down the hall. The hallways were crumbling around them. Everyone’s mouths opened in surprise.
A huge robot smashed the hallway apart. It was at least 10 feet tall and had arms that looked like lasers. And in the chest, was Hiko-San. The doctor had reached the end of his sanity. He had burnt all his hair off and his face was all black.
"AHAHAHAHAH!!!!" He set his jacket on fire! "I’LL KILL YOU ALL!!!!"
The robot began to blast lasers at them. Knuckles growled and jumped up to the gargantuan robot. His fists patted a quick rhythm on the robots face. It had no effect and the creature knocked Knuckles into the wall. Next Goku blasted an energy ball at him, which also had no effect. The mech kicked Goku into the wall. Pscyho Rabbit started screeching. His fur turned red and energy started to blast around him. His eyes became large drops of blood and he flew straight into the mech. Energy began to overwhelm the robot and it stumbled backwards. But the piece of junk wouldn't die. Kagato summoned his energy blade as Jeff drew out his guns. Kagato slashed through the robots leg and it fell to its knees. Hiko-San pulled out his gun and aimed it at Psycho Rabbit.
"IF I CAN'T HAVE THE RABBIT NO ONE CAN!!! AHAHAHHAHAH!!!"
Jeff took aim calmly and let out two bullets, which shattered through the glass and into the evil doctors body. Hiko-San gasped out blood and stumbled backwards. The mech caught on fire and Hiko-San slumped to the ground dead. Soon the robot crumpled to the ground in a pile of fiery metal. Crystal gasped and ran over to the robot.
"Oh no, where's Psycho Rabbit?"
The friends gathered solemnly around the pile of metal left.
Jeff sighed. "Well I guess we all just have to remember he died for us, right guys?"
A tear rolled down Crystal's cheek. "Let's get going."
***************************
Episode 15: Good Tidings
Part 1: Lawrence The Third
Lawrence walked back to the Soja feeling very unfulfilled. He had come through all this to watch his prize come to its death. And he lost his ship! That’s when Lawrence got a wonderful idea, THE SOJA! Lawrence ran forward, an extra bounce in his step. As he entered the Soja he had only one thought on his mind.
"Ash Ketchum, your collection is mine!!!"
Part 2: Lord Kagato
Lord Kagato emerged from lab with a look of horror on his face. The Soja! It was flying away!!!
"ARGGGGG!!!! LAWRENCE YOU MORON!!!! COME BACK HERE!!!!"
Kagato summoned his energy blade and chased after the pokémon collector. He was so absorbed in his running that he ran straight into a lady that was looking at him curiously.
"Hey there!" She said flirtatiously.
Kagato was stunned for the first time in his life. She had beautiful blue hair and eyes so alike to his, it was almost like déjà vu.
"He-hello." He stammered.
"Waz ur name hun?" she asked.
"Lord Kagato." he said with a smile.
"And I'm the soon to be Lady Kagato!" She said with a wink.
He wrapped his hand around hers. "This looks like the start to a beautiful friendship! The only thing is, heh, my ship was just sorta stolen."
“Hey it’s ok!" The soon to be Lady Kagato said. "I've got my own!"
Part 3: Knuckles
Knuckles emerged from the lab third. He took a look at everything that was going on.
"I think it's time for me to leave." He said to himself. "I left Sonic hanging out that window!"
Part 4: Jeff
Jeff looked out onto the horizon with sad eyes. He was leaving behind the friend that had brought him from his life as an outcast to that of an adventurer. He looked back wistfully; he could almost see Psycho Rabbit, hear it's crazed laughter. Nothing. Jeff began to re-oil his guns and their holsters as he walked. It would be a long walk by himself.
Part 5: Goku
Goku and N. Gin walked out into the sunlight together.
"Well," Goku yawned as he stretched out. "It was nice being with you guys, but I've got a fighting tournament to win!"
He waved goodbye and flew off into the distance.
Part 6: Dr. Nathan Gin
N. Gin walked draggling behind the others. He had just aided in the death of one of his old partners, yet he did not feel bad at all. There must be something wrong. He could see Jeff in the distance, and felt a pang of regret for all he had gone through. It was time to go back to that old depressing castle… but NO WAY! He caught up with Jeff.
"I thought I'd keep company with you on the way back."
Part 7: Crystal Bandicoot
Crystal was the last to leave the burning base. She felt bad for the rabbit but couldn’t help feeling happy at the prospect of going home. She left with an extra bounce in her step.
AND THE FINAL PART?
Jeff came to Sydney with Dr. N. Gin where they split on an apartment. Jeff would often times sit there and wonder why Psycho Rabbit had to die, why everything had to end this way, when he heard a knock on his door about 3 weeks after the happenings of this story. When he opened the door he got a mouthful of fur as Psycho Rabbit bounded happily onto his face.
The End!!!
And so this ends of a story of friendship, the battles between good and evil, and pure silliness. And remember, you never know how much a friend means to you till you lose them, so make sure you treat them well.
