It's been a month since Captain N,Link and Princess Zelda saved Hyrule from Ganon and Mother Brain. Since then,Ganon and his minions have yet to counterattack. Mother Brain,on the otherhand,is always scheming to retake Videoland. Her latest plan involves the Legendary Triforce of Hyrule.
It is midnight in Hyrule and, in the throne room where the 3 Triforces(wisdom,power,and courage) sit atop the throne. The two idiots arrive. King Hippo falls onto the ground and Eggplant Wizard onto him.
The 2 get up and head for Zelda's throne. King Hippo searches his shorts for the paper with the spell to release the Triforce.
Hippo: Ok, now to get the spell to release the Try-whatever.
Eggy: Hope you haven't forgotten to bring the spell that Mother Brain gave us.
Hippo: I have it.
He is unable to locate the paper with the spell,instead pulling out random lists and notes.
Hippo: (a bit embarrassed) I guess I must've forgot it.
Eggy: If Mother Brain finds out we messed up,She'll squash both of us.
Hippo: Not if I squash you first!
Eggy: Without the spell,how are are we gonna get these?
Hippo: Hey,no problem. I memorised it.
He tries to recite it from memory, but is unable to. So he makes something up.
Hippo: By the Power of Triforce Of Hyrule!
The Triforce’s defense systems are suddenly triggered.
Eggy: You blue buffoon,you said the wrong incantation.
The 2 run off scared back into the warp.
Link runs in, ready to do battle
Link: Ok,who's ready for a slashing?
Zelda: Cool it,hero.
Zelda turns off the alarm.
Zelda: (annoyed) It seems the alarm is malfunctioning again. 3rd time it happened this week.
Link: (putting his sword away) So what are we gonna do about it,Princess?
Zelda: I'm going back to sleep. You organize the sentries to guard the Triforce.
Link: Right.
Zelda: (playfully)Good night!
Zelda kisses Link on the cheek and leaves.
On Metroid,Mother Brain was watching the whole thing on her monitor via microscopic spy bot.
Mother Brain: Sentries? Ha! That Triforce is as good as mine..And this time I won't have you two to screw around. Because you are fired!
Hippo and Eggy don't take the news well.
Eggplant Wizard: F-Fired!?
Mother Brain: (yeling) Yeah,Fired. As in terminated,canned,jobless! Now out of my sight!
Using her tenticle as a pool stick,Mother Brain knocks her ex-minions out of her lair.
Mother Brain: With the Triforce in my posession,I'll be the the most powerful being in the Universe. I won't even need minions.
Suddenly,she outfits herself with Tank parts,including tank treads and cannons. Mother Brain was now armed and even more dangerous.
Mother Brain: With the Triforce,not even Ganon can oppose me.
Mother Brain laughs evilly.
Meanwhile,inside their room on Metroid,The two idiots pack up their items and ponder over what they’ll do.
King Hippo: (upset) After all we've done for that ugly loudmouth,this is how she repays us.
Hippo finishes stuffing his small bag.
King Hippo: What will we do now?
Eggplant Wizard: Well,how about we become wandering minstrels?
Meanwhile,in the Palace Courtyeard,Princess Lana,Captain N,Duke,and Simon have just returned from CastleVania. All exausted.
Kevin: Wow that adventure on CastleVania was crazy.
Simon: Ugh,the Count was definatly ready for us. These missions are so exausting.
Both Simon and Lana sit down.
Lana: I know what you mean,Simon.
Simon:(sighs) I miss the good old days before the war,when we had relaxing social gatherings and had fun.
Lana: Yeah. we had much fun and invited the most important people in Videoland.
Simon: (gets up) Ah,yes. The food,the dancing,the music,me looking fabulous as always.
Lana: (standing up) It was such a glorious time. Hey,why don't we have a ball. It would be a great time to loosen up and have fun.
Simon: An excellent idea,your cuteness.
Simon and Lana go for a walk and plan for the ball.
Lana: I wan't Kevin to experience what we did back before the war. I'd like to hold the ball tonight. Why,not we deserve it.
Simon: Tonight? but what will I wear?
Lana sees two ‘minstrels’(eggplant wizard and king hippo in disguise) walki g along.
Lana: Excuse me?
The minstrels stop and look at the Princess as she walks toward them.
Lana: Are you two minstrels available for tonight?
Hippo: Yeah.
Lana: Good,You see,we're having a party and we are in need of some musicians. Every important person in Videoland will be there and...
Eggy: (cuts her off) Everyone? Including Princess Zelda and Link?
Lana: Of course,they are the most important guests.
Eggy: We'll do it,Princess.
Lana: Great,we have to prepare. At the ball,there's gonna be free food,so help yourselves once you're there.
Hippo: (happily) Food!
Eggplant Wizard puts his hand on Hippo's mouth.
Eggy: Thank you,Princess.
As Princess Lana leaves. Eggy takes his hand off of Hippi's mouth.
Eggplant now realizes that, since everyone, including Link and Zelda, will be at the party, they’ll be able to steal the Triforce for themselves.
King Hippo: I wan't Food!
Eggplant Wizard: Forget the food! This is the chance of a lifetime!
King Hippo: Forget the food?!
Eggplant
Wizard: Don't you get it?! If Link and Zelda are coming here, there
won't be anybody left on Hyrule but their flunkies!
King Hippo: They'll give us food.
Eggplant Wizard: No, banana brain! The alarm's been turned off! We can steal the Triforce for ourselves!
King Hippo: Then we can make Ganon's servants give us food.
Eggy looks at hippo with disgust and annoyance.
Later that evening,at the Palace of Power,the Guests are arrive and are looking forward to having a fun time. The guests include: Bayou Billy,Dr.Wright,and of course..Princess Zelda and Link. The Hyrulians and N-Team are dressed up.
Zelda and Lana greet.
Lana: Zelda,I'm so glad you could come.
Zelda: I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Link and Kevin greet each other and laugh at how ridiculous they look in their formal wear.
Kevin: You look ridiculous.
Link: So do you. Balls aren't my thing.
Lana: C'mon Kevin,let's dance.
Lana makes Kevin dance with her and they do. Zelda dances with Link.
Meanwhile,at North Palace in Hyrule,King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard arrive in the throne room. The Eggplant Wizard drops a pumpkin on a lone sentry,knocking him out. The duo exit the warp.
Eggplant Wizard: Now that Zelly and Stink are out for the night,taking the Triforce is gonna be easy.
The 2 walk to the throne,where the Triforce is.
Eggy: Grab one!
Eggplant Wizard grabs the Triforce of Courage,while King Hippo grabs the Triforce of Power and the 2 pull them off of the throne,sending the Triforce of Wisdom flying off.
Outside,Mother Brain arrives in her "Tank Mode",scaring off the sentries. She then blasts open the outside wall of the throne room.
Mother Brain: Knock, knock! Who's there?! General Mother Brain! That's who!
Hippo and Eggy notice Mother Brain coming in.
Mother Brain: (upset to see her ex-minions) What are you two losers doing here? I fired you!
Eggplant Wizard: Do you smell something bad, old pal?
King Hippo: Yeah, old chum. Smells likes bimbo-in-a-bottle.
King Hippo uses the Triforce of Power to punch Mother Brain out of the palace. Mother Brain screams as she goes flying.
Eggplant Wizard creates a rocket from a squash and they fly out of the building.
Back at the Palace,As Kevin is jamming with the band,Zelda feels weak and falls into Link (or lanas) arms,shocking everyone. Kevin sees this and rushes toward Zelda.
Lana: Zelda!
Zelda:(weak) The Triforce....Something's wrong!
Zelda almost faints.
Link: The Triforce and Zelda are magically linked,if 2 or all 3 are in the hands of evil,Zelda will weaken...and maybe die.
Kevin: (determined) We have to hurry!
Hours later,Lana,Link,Duke,Kevin,and Zelda arrive at the palace of Hyrule. Link is helping Zelda stand. They are shocked at the wreckage that Mother Brain has made.
Kevin: Whoa! it looks like a demolition team was here.
Zelda sees her throne and sees that the Triforce are missing.
Zelda:(upset) No! The Triforce!
Zelda rushes to her throne and begins to cry. Suddenly,she finds the Triforce of Wisdom and picks it up.
Zelda: (relieved) The Triforce of Wisdom! Thank goodness. C'mon,the Triforce of Wisdom will lead us to the others.
The rocket that King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were in crashes in the desert. The two get out,Hippo is angry.
Hippo: You have got to be the worst pilot ever!
Eggy: Me? It was your weight that caused the crash
Hippo: (taking offence) Watch it,Vegtable-breath!
A huge centipede creature appears and prepares to attack them. The dopes are scared out of their minds. However,the Triforce of Courage activates and causes the monster to stop.
Monster: I am your servent,Masters of the Triforce. Tell me what you desire.
Hippo and Eggy have managed to control the Monster with the Triforce.
Hippo: Take us to some Food...the best this planet has.
Eggy: And some 'peachy babes’ too.
Monster: As you wish.
Meanwhile,in another section of the desert,The heroes are walking through it,Zelda holding the Triforce of Wisdom. She grows weaker.
Zelda: Were are getting closer.
Zelda leans on a rock to rest.
Triforce of Wisdom :(speaking through Zelda) Patience is the jewel in the crown of wisdom.
Kevin: Say what?
Link: It likes to sound mysterious.
Suddenly,They are attacked by stalfos knights and moblins. They fight the enemies and defeat them. They suddenly fall into a pit and are somehow in the tunnel to the Island Palace.
Kevin: This place looks familiar.
Zelda: This looks like the tunnel to the Island Palace,but it's not supposed to be here.
Triforce of Wisdom: (speaking through Zelda) The boundaries that bind Hyrule together are unbiding and that is why the planet is rearranging.
Link: We must be getting closer.
As the heroes press on to the Island Palace,they battle Goryias and other Hyrulian foes,like an Iron Knuckle. Hyrule becomes increasingly strange, but the heroes eventually reach the Great Palace,instead of the Island Palace. This is due to the "rearranging" caused by the Triforce split. They are stopped by a large wall.
Link: This isn't the Island Palace,this is the Great Palace!
Lana: How will we get in?
Kevin looks up and sees a Giant Bird. Kevin gets an Idea.
Kevin: I have an idea.
The bird sees The heroes and swoops down at them. Kevin hits his pause button. Kevin grabs a multi ended vine and lasso's one end to the birds leg and ties one of the other ends around his waist,the others do the same with the other ends.
Kevin unpauses and they are pulled up by the bird and over the wall.
At the Great Palace,Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo are staying. Peaches dance with Eggy and King Hippo eats. Kevin is looking in and is in disbelief.
Kevin: It's Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo!
The heroes bust in,armed.
Kevin: Ok,you two drop the Triforce.
Hippo: Ha! We got you beat! We have the Triforce.
Eggy: So don't do anything stupid.
Seeing as how they are beat,Kevin decides to give up.
Kevin: Ok,you win. (puts zapper away) We are no match for you. We have the Triforce of Wisdom. You can have it.
Lana:(shocked) Kevin! What are you doing?
Link: (puts sword away,in "deep regret") He's right,Lana. We can't win!
Link takes the Triforce from Zelda and follows Kevin as he walks toward Hippo and Eggy. Kevin takes the Triforce from Link.
Kevin:Here,you can have it.
Just as the heroes are about to surrender the Triforce, They knock the other 2 Triforce out of the villains hands.
Lana,and Link quickly grab a Triforce. Kevin,Lana,and Link hold there Triforce aloft,restoring Zelda's power.
Zelda: I want you out of my Kingdom..Now!!!
Using her restored power,Zelda forces Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo into a warp back to Metroid.
Back on Metroid,Mother Brain is getting ready to play a game of pool on a giant pool table. 2 of the Balls contain Eggy and Hippo,who are lined up.
Mother Brain: I was in need of some toadies,that's why I've taken you back. Wasn't that nice of me?
Hippo and Eggy: Yes,Mother Brain.
Mother Brain: (angry,yelling) But If You Ever,Ever Betray Me Again,I'll Make You Wish You Were Never Born!!
Hippo and Eggy: Yes,Mother Brain.
Mother Brain shoots the white ball into Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo,knocking them in seperate directions.

Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 10: Quest For The Potion Of Power!
Across the vastness of Videoland, is the magical world of Hyrule. A year ago,The heroic Link and the lovely Princess Zelda battled Ganon for the Triforce of Power. With the help of the newly discovered Triforce of Courage,our heroes managed to destroy Ganon's minions and de-power the evil wizard himself. Once the 3 Triforce were united under Princess Zelda,Hyrule was at peace once more.
However,some of Ganon's minions survived..and are starved for revenge.
Children were playing in the streets. Their parents were idly talking, enjoying the day. The wind picked up the pink dandelion seeds and danced them everywhere...
Suddenly,marching footsteps can be heard.
Heads turned everywhere. The ugly blue faces of moblins sent everyone cascading and scrambling for the safety of their homes. Mothers scrambled to gather their children. Windows were slammed shut. Doors closed. Fathers barred the doors. The moblins waltzed right through town.
Meanwhile, at the Palace of Power...
Gameboy exited a warp.
Gameboy: Begin exercise maneuvers.
He disappeared around the column the warp was in just before Duke came out. Gameboy came back around the column and tagged Duke on the head with a green screen-stretched hand.
Gamenoy: Prepare to revert game action.
He flew back through the warp, followed by Duke.
Their antics went unnoticed by the Conference room's third occupant: Simon Belmont, reading a magazine (with him kissing a reflection of himself on the cover) entitled "True Love".
The video screen overlooking the long table Simon was sitting at flared to life.
Voice: Hyrule calling the Palace of Power.
Simon looked up from his magazine at the voice's blonde-haired owner's static marred image.
Beautiful Blonde: We are in need of assistance.
This was too good a chance for Simon to pass up. He stood.
Simon: Simon Belmont, Vampire Hunter, at your service, Your Loveliness. Not only am I tall, blond, and handsome, I'm quick on the draw (lets go of his magazine and pulls out his whip. Slashes the magazine into the air,shreding it and folding it into a silhouette of his head. (begins using his whip as a jump rope)...light on my feet...
Simon was interrupted by Duke and Gameboy,who came crashing into him as they rushed out of a warp. They sending the vampire hunter flying through the air.
Simon: (cries out) Aeiiii!
He lands in a potted plant.
The beautiful blonde on the staticy video screen laughed.
Blonde Woman: Very impressive, Hero Belmont. But, actually, I was looking for Captain N.
A door off to one side opened, letting two brunettes step over its threshold.It's Kevin and Lana.
Kevin: Did somebody call my name?(looks at the screen) Oh, wow! You're Princess -
Lana: - Zelda! Is something wrong?
Zelda (smiles): Nothing we can't handle, Lana,with a little help from your Captain N.
Kevin (pleased,bows): I live to help beautiful princesses.
Lana: (Crossing her arms,mock-frowning) You never bow like that for me.
Kevin: (turns and bows to Lana) By your leave, Your Highness.
Lana: (laughs) Be off with you, my captain. But be home in time for dinner.
Gameboy and Duke entered through the door Kevin and Lana had left open.
Gameboy: Program in place to inspect new environment.
Kevin: Okay,Gameboy,you can join me.
Duke placed a leg on Kevin's leg.
Kevin: Aw, not this time, fella. Someone has to help Lana hold down the fort.
Duke whines sadly as Kevin knelt down to pet him.
Simon:Yow!
Simon had finally worked his way out of the plant.
Simon: Yes, some of us have more important things to do than running off to play hero!
Lana: (pointing to the now-mangled flora) Simon,what are you doing in that plant?"
Smiling sheepishly like someone caught in the act of something bad, Simon began yanking the leaves.
Simon: Why, pruning the leaves, of course.
He continued yanking the leaves off. Lana turned and faced Kevin, her face extremely serious.
Lana: Kevin, Hyrule is an amazing world, but it's also dangerous. Please, be careful."
Kevin: (salutes her) Aren't I always?
Later on Hyrule, in the Courtyard of North Palace...
Kevin: This is awesome! Me...meeting my favorite fictional hero!
Kevin and Link approached each other. They shook hands.
Kevin: (with some awe) You're a real legend where I come from, Link.(his eyes caught sight of something) Hey, what happened to your leg?
A white bandage was securely wrapped around Link's upper-left leg.
Link: Aw, it's nothing. Pulled a muscle dodging boomerangs. Goes with the territory, you know.
Kevin: (nods)Yeah.
Link: (points to kevins weapons) So, Captain N, is this the famous Powerpad and Zapper I've heard so much about?"
Pride displayed on Kevin's face as he pulled out the orange Zapper and twirled it.
Kevin: The one and only. But hey, call me Kevin. All my friends do.
Princess Zelda: (clears throat,stand from her seat in the courtyard) You two heroes can pat yourselves on the back some other time. We have important business.
Link: Oh, yeah, right, Ganon.
Kevin: (somewhat shocked) Ganon? I thought you took care of him?
Link: So did I,But we just heard a rumor that someone's trying to restore his power.
They both turned to face Zelda.
Kevin: You got any clues?
Zelda eagle-eyed Kevin.
Zelda: Only one: His minions are searching for a magic potion that will restore his power. We've gotta find it first.
Link: (boastful) Of course, We don't really need help. But Zelda insisted.
He drew his sword, demonstrating his skill at swinging it with pinpoint accuracy.
Zelda: Link,you know Ganon's minions have vowed to get revenge on you for defeating their master.
Meanwhile,on Metroid,The vile Mother Brain is watching the heroes on the viewer in her lair. Her miniature spy bots,once again at work.
Mother Brain:(sadistically) This is perfect! I couldn't have planned it better myself. Those two idiots of mine won't have to search for the Potion of Power. Captain Nice Guy will lead them right to it.
Rubbing her two long tentacles together, Mother Brain turned back to the viewer, switching the rotoswitch on the wall.
King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were up to their armpits in swamp water.
King Hippo: (complaining) Aw, this is what I get for following your stupid directions. I'm gettin' water logged!
Raising green fingers from the swamp water, Eggy, with a frog sitting on his head.
Eggplant Wizard: W-well, so what? Look at my fingers. They're all pickled.
Mother Brain's voice: I didn't send you fish-heads to Hyrule to have a pool party!"
Hippo and Eggy looked up. The image of Mother Brain's face appeared before them over the swamp.
Hippo and Eggy: Mother Brain!!
Mother Brain: You were expecting Donkey Kong? Where's my Potion of Power to power up Ganon?
Eggy : Well, uh, -
Mother Brain: Nevermind! Just get over to Rauru Town and follow Captain N. Get me that potion, or your dead!!! Got it!!
Mother Brain's visage disappeared. Hippo and Eggplant continued staring at where Mother Brain's face had been. Their vision suddenly was interrupted by a large watersnake raising its head. As fast as their feet would take them, they were out of the swamp.
The streets were empty. As if to emphasize this, a garbage can blew over, spilling its contents out onto the street. The spilled papers followed along mindlessly. The wind blew through, howling and picking up dust.
Kevin: Where is everybody?
Sharp clicks of a woman's footsteps echoed down the alleys and streets.
Gameboy: Human person sighted.
Zelda dashed over, followed by the other three.
Zelda: Excuse me.
The blonde woman spun around, almost dropping her armful of clothing, giving a piercing shriek. "
Zelda: Don't be afraid. We just need your help finding the Potion of Power.
Not recognizing Zelda as the Princess, the woman backed off.
Woman: Please. I know nothing.
She spun around, dashing off. Her clicking heels vanished around a corner. Kevin, Link, and Zelda looked at each other, then the woman shrieked again. Immediately, they dashed around the corner. Disguised as Hylians, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard followed behind.
Hippo: There they go.,C'mon.
The woman had dropped her armful of clothing and was lying on the ground. Towering above her was a moblin, special head-gear signifying his high rank in the moblin hierarchy.
Moblin: Tell me what you know...or else.
Woman: I told you, I know nothing."
The moblin lifted his spear.
Link: Moblin! Release the woman!"
He turned and faced Link, flanked by Zelda, Kevin, and Gameboy.
Moblin: So! We meet again, Link. Only this time you'll pay for defeating our master!
Gameboy: Human life function endangered.
Gameboy moved between the prone woman and the moblin. The moblin nodded and raised a hand, summoning another four moblins out from hiding. The heroes stepped backwards. Link placed his right hand on his sword. Three of the four new moblins jumped down to the ground and joined the leader.
Kevin: Mind if we even up the odds?
Link: Sure. Three to five sounds about right.
The moblin that remained on the roof now jumped down to attack Zelda. Zelda raised her bow, cocked it, and released a golden energy arrow, hitting the moblin while it was still in mid-air. The blonde woman gasped, holding onto Gameboy.
In the interest of showing off, Kevin had opted to do acrobatic flips out of another moblin's way. Kevin mislanded, falling onto his back. The moblin's spear came crashing down at a blinding speed. Smacking into the pavement right next to Kevin's head, the spear was pulled back to strike again - this time with more accuracy.
The spear was raised, about to come down. It never did. The moblin suddenly reeled over backwards and blipped out of existence. Behind where the moblin had been was Gameboy with his LCD screen stretched into a hand holding a bat. The hand and weapon retracted into Gameboy's smiling face.
Kevin smiled too, but the smile vanished quickly. Kevin pulled out his Zapper, nailing the moblin that had come up behind Gameboy. Now he could finally smile.
Link was still exchanging blows with his moblin.
Link:You look like you could use a fencing lesson.
He jumped over the moblin's spear swing, landing on the other side of the moblin. Link's sword flared, destroying the moblin with its power. He turned and faced the last moblin, as did the other three.
Link: Ready to try your luck?
Blonde woman caught sight of a dorky-looking kid.
Kid: Mother! .
The moblin rushed over and grabbed the dorky kid. His spear was immediately by the kid's neck.
Moblin: Drop your weapons or else! Ahahahahahahahaha!
Link and Zelda glanced at each other. Their hands opened, letting their weapons fall - one with a metallic clunk, the other with a wooden clatter.
Moblin: (points to Kevin) You too,human,Drop it."
Kevin: Here you go.
Kevin tossed his Zapper at the moblin. It landed with a plastic tumble. Kevin bent down and grabbed a blanket from the blonde woman's dropped armful of clothing. He tossed it at the moblin, covering him from head to ankle. The moblin let the dorky kid go, reaching up to get the blanket off himself.
Moblin: You Dare?!
Link dropped to one knee, grabbed his sword, and released a bolt of energy from the sword at the moblin. The 'tossed' sword (the terminology used in The Legend of Zelda is "throwing the sword"; in Zelda II, it's called "shooting") smacked into the moblin, obliterating him.
The blonde woman finally got up off the ground. She's then reunited with her son.
Woman: Thank you for saving my son, kind sir.
From nearly out of nowhere, she pulled out a map and handed it to Kevin.
Woman: Please, take this as a reward. It's a map to an ancient desert palace. (points out a spot on the map) There lies a Golden Key that will unlock the Potion of Power you seek.
Kevin: Thank you, ma'am.
Link moved to his side and stretched a hand out.
Link: Maybe I should take that. I know the terrain better than you do, Kevin.
Kevin: Sure, Link. I'm here to help you.
Kevin hands the map to Link. Unseen to any in the party, two plumpy people in disguise peered out from around the corner of a building. One hippo and one veggie.
The ferocious winds blew gigantic boulders above their heads, but, strangely, next to no wind was reaching the four travelers in the desert valley.
Link: We're almost there. I can see the palace up ahead.
Rumbling beneath their feet suddenly erupted into a towering Geldarm. The force of the long antlionish Geldarm's emergence sent Link, Zelda, Kevin, and Gameboy flying backwards, each landing hard, each spouting some variation of "Ouch!"
Being last to land on the hard brown dirt, Kevin whipped out his Zapper and blasted the Geldarm into non-existence. Getting up to their collective feet, Link sneered from behind Kevin.
Link: Nice move. Where did you learn that?
Mistaking Link's angry sarcasm as a compliment, Kevin turned and faced him, a smile on his face.
Kevin: My high school gym class.
Realizing the sneer was lost on Kevin, Link looked down.
Link: Right. C'mon, we'd better keep moving.
Two figures rushed out from behind a boulder.It's King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard.
Eggplant Wizard: Let's go. .
A sudden unexpected gust of wind sent one rock hurtling down at them.
Hippo: Whoa! A huge rock!
Eggy: Take this!
Eggy brought his wand up and zapped the approaching boulder. It didn't stop. But when it did hit them, it wasn't a boulder; it was a tomato of gigantic proportions. It smacked into Hippo and Eggy, covering both of them with vast amounts of instant ketchup.
Hippo: I hate tomatoes. .
The entrance was dark, and the narrow gorge leading up to it was dusty and depressing. One statue lay near the entrance. Perhaps it had been an Armos Knight, but its broken limbs ensured that it wouldn't be coming to life if touched. Link sat down on a rock.
Kevin: Wh-what are we stopping for? This adventure's just gettin' exciting.
Link removed his shield and shrunk it, putting it in his belt pack.
Link: Stop treating this like a game. This is a serious mission.
Kevin: Hey, I - I didn't mean anything -
Link: (stands up) Forget it. Let's go!
The look on his face was practically wreathing with hate. He walked through the entrance, leaving Kevin staring after him, wondering what prompted this.
The heroes went down the staircase. Link drew his sword, rushing down at the onslaught of Ganon's monsters racing at them. With one slash of his sword, they were gone, with Link plowing right through where they had been. When Kevin and Zelda finally caught up with him, he was between another two monsters, destroying them with one slash of his sword.
At the end of his stroke, a hammer flew at him from the side, knocking his sword out of his hand. Kevin and Zelda rushed up to his side. He was holding his right wrist where the hammer had hit it. Kevin smoothly pulled out his Zapper and got rid of the hammer, allowing Link to get rid of the hammer's ugly owner while it was looking at its hands in astonishment over the vanished hammer.
While Link sheathed his sword, Zelda leaned over to Kevin. Link turned his head just in time to see Zelda plant a kiss on Kevin's cheek. Enraged, Link clenched his hands and grounded his teeth, then stormed away. Kevin went from pleased at the kiss to confused at the storming. Kevin and Zelda had to double-time to catch up. Link was waiting for them on a large round elevator platform.
They stepped off when the elevator reached the bottom. Suspended above a platform inside a glass container was a rather large key and an old scroll.
Link: There it is!
Gameboy: (happily) Golden Key! Golden Key!
Zelda: Look, that parchment must tell us where to find the Potion of Power. So, how do we get them out of there?
Kevin: Easy.(pulls out his Zapper) This table just needs a little remodeling.
Link held up a hand, pushing Kevin back.
Link: Save your energy. I'll do it.
With one swipe of the Magical Sword, the glass shattered, sending the key and the parchment raining to the platform. He bent down with a prideful smile and gathered up the key and parchment. Just then, a rumbling started. Link looked up, trying to identify the source of the rumble.
Kevin: Get back!!
No argument from Link. He stepped back immediately. The top of the platform exploded upward in a fury, making room for a second to come up. On the rising platform was a Centaur with the head of a horse.
Link: Horsehead!
Horsehead: (whinny's) Who dares to steal Ganon's Golden Key?
Zelda: (steps forward) That key belongs to the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Horsehead: (whinnys) Silence!
Horsehead's Morning Star whipped out, nearly decapitating Zelda, save for her quick movement. In the same motion, Zelda pulled out her bow and launched a golden energy arrow at Horsehead, which was absorbed by his armor and did no damage. Link took front and center, drawing his sword.
Link: Stay back, guys!
Kevin: I just can't stand here and watch! Kevin stepped forward. Zelda blocks Kevin's path.
Zelda: Ugh. No, Kevin. Link knows what he's doing.
Link launched himself into the air, sword above his head, as Horsehead's Morning Star passed harmlessly beneath him to where Link had been only moments before. He came down quickly. Horsehead's arm came up, batting Link away from him. Kevin and Zelda gasped almost simultaneously. Link hit the wall.
His sword spun through the air, sticking upright in the floor much too far away for him to get to. Horsehead pointed at Link.
Horsehead: (Whinny) You are too puny and weak for Horsehead.
Zelda: (crying out) Link! .
Link manages to push himself up.
Horsehead: (Whinny) Prepare to meet thy fate, hero. (raises his Morning Star) This is for Lord Ganon!
Link gasped. Kevin gasped. With one press of a Power Pad button, Kevin was streaming at Link - at faster than normal speeds. He grabbed Link, knocking him out of the way just moments before the Morning Star hit the wall behind where Link was standing. With Link now face-planted into the floor, Kevin stopped, dropping to one knee.
Kevin: How 'bout you preparing to eat Zapper, Horseface?"
Instead of aiming his Zapper at Horsehead, he aimed at the ceiling above the monster. Two blasts brought a section of ceiling cascading down on Horsehead. Horsehead screams out in pain,before blipping out of existence.
Link finally had enough of pretending to be carpet and picked himself up, rejecting help from Kevin. Both Kevin and Zelda moved over to him.
Zelda: Link! Are you all right?!
Kevin: Sorry you had to eat dirt, dude, But I just remembered: Horsehead's only vulnerable in one spot - (points to his own head) on his head.
Link looked away.
Link: Oh, yeah, right. Guess I forgot.
The look on his face said he didn't forget, but was just too ashamed to say otherwise.
Kevin: Hey, it coulda happened to anybody under that kind of pressure.
Zelda: I see why Lana depends on you so much, Kevin.
Kevin: (smiled) Aw, it was nothin'. Just doing what a Game Enforcer does.
Link: (frowns) Yeah. Right.
He yanked his sword out of the floor and retrieved the parchment he had dropped before he had launched himself at Horsehead.
Link: (sourly) Anybody besides me interested in where this key fits "
Kevin, Zelda, and Gameboy came over and peered at the parchment. Link read the ancient writing:
Link: The Golden Key to the Golden Door leads across to the island shore.
Kevin: I've got it! (takes the parchment) It's the Island Palace. I even know the way through the secret tunnel.
Link: (pulls the parchment out of Kevin's hands) So do I. C'mon!
Kevin stared after Link as Link walked away.
Kevin: H-hey, wh-what's bugging Link?"
Zelda stepped up to Kevin's side.
Zelda: I don't know. He's never acted like this before.
A scraggly owl called from its perch above the graveyard.
Kevin: This place sure looks a lot creepier in person.
Link's head turned.
Link: That sounded like a moa.
His sword whipped out.
Link: There it is!"
A bolt from his sword smashed into a tree, sending it toppling over.
Link: No! Over there!
Another sword blast sent another tree falling over.
Link: They're all around us!
Unseen by those in the party, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard minutely raised their heads from behind the second tree Link decimated. Their sweat soaked-brows spoke volumes of the scare the tree's destruction and the sword's power had given them.
Gameboy: Insufficient data. Insufficient data.
Zelda: Link. I don't see anything. You're pushing too hard. Relax."
Kevin looked at Zelda.
Kevin: No, Zelda. he's right."
Large floating eyeballs suddenly appeared.
Kevin took aim.
Kevin: Get ready, guys. The name of the game is Eyeball Busting.
Link got rid of one. Zelda killed a second with an arrow. Kevin zapped another.
Gameboy: Initiating defensive game action.
Gameboy stretched his LCD screen and it formed a baseball bat. He used it to clobber another two moas.
Link: (takes off running) Hurry! The tunnel entrance is right around here someplace!
Kevin: My map from home would sure come in handy about now.
Link: I could find the tunnel with my eyes cloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssed!
Link disappeared in one downward motion. Where he was at was replaced by a gaping hole.
Link: Aaaaahhh! (Splashes) Ooof....(coughs) Yuk.
Link spat the filthy water out of his mouth, but remained sitting in it where he had landed.
Zelda: (called, surprised) Link!
Gameboy: Recommend future search with open eyes.
Zelda jumped into the hole, followed by Kevin and Gameboy. After they had vanished into the hole, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard moved over to it, looking down. Hippo half-turned the single eyeball next to him.
King Hippo: Whoa. It sure is dark down there. You wanna go first?
Eggplant Wizard: Hey, Blimpo. I'm over here.
Hippo looked at Eggy, then looked at the other eyeball he had glanced at first - a moa. Hippo and Eggy,scared out of their minds) picked up heel and ran.
Hippo: Uh, I've got a better idea! Let's take a boat!
Sitting on a raft in the middle of the water, with the Island Palace in the distance, both Hippo and Eggy were rowing.
Hippo: Hey, Plantface! You're sitting the wrong way!
Eggy had been facing the opposite direction from Hippo.
Eggy:Uh,uh,You are. The island's behind you."
Hippo: Then let me sit over there. I get seasick riding backwards.
He stood,rocking the raft.
Eggy: Wait, you're rockin' the raft!"
They both tumbled off.
Eggy: Yaaahh!! See what you did?"
Hippo: Aw, shaddap and swim.
At the Island Palace,the heroes are riding an elevator
Zelda: I can hardly believe we made it. .
The elevator they were on stopped, allowing them to step off.
Zelda: (looks around) Now which way, Kevin?
Kevin: What do you think, Link?"
Link: (rudely) You're the hotshot Game Enforcer. Why ask me?"
Kevin looked at him. He looked around. They walked down one path; coming around the bend, they were confronted with a door.
Kevin: If my memory's on target, if we open that door -
Gameboy(in haste) Request acknowledged. Prepare to open door?
Kevin: (cries out) Gameboy, no!!!
Kevin's cry came too late. The door slid open, releasing a bulky Darknut. The Darknut's club swung wide, smashing into an Armos Knight statue, guaranteeing that Armos would never come alive. A bottle of magic fell out of the broken statue. Link stepped forward, bringing out his sword. He shot the door's trigger, sending the door slamming shut. The door bent inward with each blow from the Darknut, but refused to give.
Link: (snidely) Nice move, Gameboy. Did Captain N teach you that one?
Kevin: Hey, go easy on him,He's just malfunctioned.
Link: Yeah! And he almost got us wasted!
The two were about ready to tackle each other.
Zelda: Hey, c'mon, guys. We're here to find the Potion of Power, remember?
Gameboy drew their attention to the bottle that had fallen from the statue.
Gameboy: Potential energy source detected.
Kevin bent to pick it up.
Kevin: A bottle of magic. Good work." (eyeing the bottle) This could come in handy.
He pocketed it. Link looked at Kevin aside.
Link: Who needs magic when you've got brains.
Kevin could only watch Link walk away, shaking his head with a smile. They approached a circular door, glowing golden with its own kind of internal light.
Link: See? I found it. The Golden Door.
Kevin: Be cautious,Link. It may be a trap!
Link looked over his shoulder at Kevin, disgust dripping in his voice.
Link: I know what I'm doing. I'm goin' in.
He stuck the key into the keyhole next to the door. The door's three golden semicircular slaps slid out of the way. Link gasped. The door opened to reveal a suspended path, weaving between large statues. They stepped through.
Kevin: Whoa! These statues are awesome.
After passing one, an armored man mounted on an armored horse, the man's head turned to watch them, eyes glowing briefly. The Potion of Power hovered above a clawish pedestal. It glittered and glistened solemnly.
Zelda: Look, we made it in time. It's Potion of Power."
Coming up to it, Kevin and Link looked at each other.
Link and Kevin: I'll get it.
Booming Voice: Ah,Princess Zelda and Link!!
The four heroes turned around. Zelda gasped. Standing on the path was the armored man on the armored horse.
Kevin: Whoa,It's Rebonak the Ironknuckle."
Rebonak: You two shall pay for Lord Ganon's defeat! He shall be avenged!
Kevin and Link drew their respective weapons.
Link: Move it! You're blocking my shot.
Kevin: And you totally blew it last time, remember?
The horse charged. In the time it took Link to bring his shield out and enlarge it on his arm, Kevin fired (bringing a look of shock from Link).
When Kevin's shot failed, he half-turned to Link.
Kevin: We gotta knock him off his horse.
Link: (upset) I know how to handle this,so back off!
The Ironknuckle plowed right between Kevin and Link. Link yelled. Kevin yelled.
Gameboy: Danger, danger! Danger,Kevin Keene! Danger, danger!
It was then that Zelda looked back at the potion. King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were standing there, laughing. Eggy had the potion in his left hand. Zelda turned around.
Zelda: Link! Kevin! They're stealing the Potion of Power!
Kevin turned around.
Kein: Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo. What are you doing here?
King Hippo: Just what it looks like, Captain Nothing.
Eggplant Wizard: And now, we're gonna to restore Ganon - just like Big Momma Brain ordered.
Eggy and Hippo raced out the door behind the pedestal.
Zelda: We've gotta stop them. Aaaaahhhhh!
Zelda was suddenly grabbed and hoisted into the air by the Ironknuckle.
Link: He's got Zelda!
Link shot his sword. The bolt hit the Ironknuckle's armor, barely missing Zelda, as she hung by her midsection in the crook of Ironknuckle's arm.
Link looked at Kevin, despair clearly written on his face.
Link: Okay, Kevin. Let's try it your way. This is going to take two of us.
Link's admission brought a demented smile to Kevin's face. Link raised his sword again, this time along with Kevin and his Zapper. Their blasts vaporized the horse, sending both armored man and Princess to the floor.
Zelda got up and ran back to where Kevin and Link were,...and moved behind Kevin.
Kevin: This'll be a shot of a lifetime. We gotta make it good.
Link nodded. Zelda cocked her bow. As the Ironknuckle raced at them with a long black sword drawn, Kevin's zapper bolt, Link's sword shot, and Zelda's arrow slammed into his chest. Hippo and Eggy ran across a span of bridge.
King Hippo: (laughs) So long, suckers!
The bridge crumbled under their weight. Kevin, Link, and Zelda stopped running just in time to keep from plummeting into the gap.
Kevin: Oh, man!
Eggplant Wizzard: Thanks a bunch, fellas. We couldn't have done it without you.
The four were left on the other side. Humiliated, Link was looking down at his feet.
Link:This is my fault. I acted like a jerk because you were such a whiz kid on my turf.
Zelda: (frowns) Now we'll never get past Ganon's minions in time to stop them.
Kevin (smile) Oh, yes, we can. We're awesome when we work together.
Link looked at Kevin, smiling his first genuine smile of friendship at him.
Link: Instead of against each other.
Link was evidently relieved Kevin wasn't going to hold this against him. Kevin turned to Gameboy.
Kevin: Gameboy,Warp to the palace and bring back the N Team. We may need them.
Gameboy pressed his Up arrow key and soared up into the air, going through a warp zone.
Inside Death Mountain's largest chamber, on a dark stone tablet, placed atop a stone pyramid, lay a cute-looking pig surrounded by Hippo, Eggy, and Mother Brain.That pig is Ganon in his "powerless" form.
Ganon: (strangled voice) Give it to me. Give me the potion.
Mother Brain: Hurry and give him the potion!
Eggy lowered the potion closer to the cute pig. He held up two cute piggy hands, awaiting the potion.
Ganon: I want my power back!
Zelda: No! Stop!
Zelda's voice rang out from the darkness at the bottom of the underground stone pyramid.
Mother Brain: Hurry! Do it now!
The potion was handed to awaiting cute pink piggy hands. Its mouth was raised to cute piggy lips, which spilled and drooled the potion - in a rather cute way. Almost immediately, the cute pig began growing, changing from cute pink to ugly barely brown. Pudgy hands elongated into long cruel fingers. The short farm pig snout pushed out into one that could top a warthog. The cute little pig was now quite a good size bigger - and much uglier.
Ganon: Link! Zelda! How nice to see you again. And you brought your friends to your funerals!
Ganon caused the ground to start violently shaking. A warp opens and Gameboy returns with Simon,Pit,and Mega Man.
Pit: Oh, no!
Simon: If you're trying to scare me -
A crack developed between his feet and widened.
Simon: - you're doing a good job!"
Debris started falling, forcing everyone to dodge. Kevin reached for his Zapper. Link pulled him back.
Link: Forget your Zapper. He's too powerful. We're gonna have to fight fire with fire.
Kevin: I gotcha. The magic bottle Gameboy found.
Kevin said, pulling out the bottle of magic he had stuck in his pocket. He opened it and started pouring it on Link's shield.
Kevin: I don't know what this does, but I sure hope it works.
Ganon: You won't win this time,Link!. Videoland is mine!"
Mother Brain: (protest) Wait a minute! I don't like freelancers. You're supposed to be workin' for me.
Ganon: (shouts) Ganon works for no one!
Ganon raised a hand, sending a shockwave that knocked Mother Brain over on her side. King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard ran over to her. Kevin and Link stepped forward.
Kevin: Take your best shot, Ganon!
Ganon faced them. Opening his arms, he increased in size, becoming even larger - and more formidable. It did startle the heroes, but still they stood their ground.
Ganon: I shall kill you as well,stupid boy!
A bolt of frightening proportions leapt from Ganon's hands, flying right at Link. The bolt hit Link's shield, - but the reflect magic on Link's shield sent it flying back. The magic on the shield was so strong, Link wasn't even knocked back in the slightest. The bolt hit Ganon. A whirlwind, rather vortex-like, formed. It picked Mother Brain, Eggy, and Hippo on its way out, making a large hole in the ceiling. Vanished, only the heroes were left standing in the chamber.
Kevin and Link faced each other.
Kevin: (smiles) That reflect magic is awesome stuff.
Link: (smiles back) I'll get you some for your next birthday.
The other N Teamsters and Zelda came up to them, cheering.
Zelda was excited.
Zelda: We did it! We saved Hyrule! Thanks to you! (kisses Link on his right cheek,She then faces Kevin) And you. The best team of heroes ever!
She kissed Kevin on his left cheek.
Then they all cheered.
And so,Ganon was defeated once again. However,both he and his minions will return. When that day comes, Princess Zelda and Link will be ready to stop him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: I had a script this time. So it was easier. Anyway,our adventures in Hyrule continue next time.
However,some of Ganon's minions survived..and are starved for revenge.
Children were playing in the streets. Their parents were idly talking, enjoying the day. The wind picked up the pink dandelion seeds and danced them everywhere...
Suddenly,marching footsteps can be heard.
Heads turned everywhere. The ugly blue faces of moblins sent everyone cascading and scrambling for the safety of their homes. Mothers scrambled to gather their children. Windows were slammed shut. Doors closed. Fathers barred the doors. The moblins waltzed right through town.
Meanwhile, at the Palace of Power...
Gameboy exited a warp.
Gameboy: Begin exercise maneuvers.
He disappeared around the column the warp was in just before Duke came out. Gameboy came back around the column and tagged Duke on the head with a green screen-stretched hand.
Gamenoy: Prepare to revert game action.
He flew back through the warp, followed by Duke.
Their antics went unnoticed by the Conference room's third occupant: Simon Belmont, reading a magazine (with him kissing a reflection of himself on the cover) entitled "True Love".
The video screen overlooking the long table Simon was sitting at flared to life.
Voice: Hyrule calling the Palace of Power.
Simon looked up from his magazine at the voice's blonde-haired owner's static marred image.
Beautiful Blonde: We are in need of assistance.
This was too good a chance for Simon to pass up. He stood.
Simon: Simon Belmont, Vampire Hunter, at your service, Your Loveliness. Not only am I tall, blond, and handsome, I'm quick on the draw (lets go of his magazine and pulls out his whip. Slashes the magazine into the air,shreding it and folding it into a silhouette of his head. (begins using his whip as a jump rope)...light on my feet...
Simon was interrupted by Duke and Gameboy,who came crashing into him as they rushed out of a warp. They sending the vampire hunter flying through the air.
Simon: (cries out) Aeiiii!
He lands in a potted plant.
The beautiful blonde on the staticy video screen laughed.
Blonde Woman: Very impressive, Hero Belmont. But, actually, I was looking for Captain N.
A door off to one side opened, letting two brunettes step over its threshold.It's Kevin and Lana.
Kevin: Did somebody call my name?(looks at the screen) Oh, wow! You're Princess -
Lana: - Zelda! Is something wrong?
Zelda (smiles): Nothing we can't handle, Lana,with a little help from your Captain N.
Kevin (pleased,bows): I live to help beautiful princesses.
Lana: (Crossing her arms,mock-frowning) You never bow like that for me.
Kevin: (turns and bows to Lana) By your leave, Your Highness.
Lana: (laughs) Be off with you, my captain. But be home in time for dinner.
Gameboy and Duke entered through the door Kevin and Lana had left open.
Gameboy: Program in place to inspect new environment.
Kevin: Okay,Gameboy,you can join me.
Duke placed a leg on Kevin's leg.
Kevin: Aw, not this time, fella. Someone has to help Lana hold down the fort.
Duke whines sadly as Kevin knelt down to pet him.
Simon:Yow!
Simon had finally worked his way out of the plant.
Simon: Yes, some of us have more important things to do than running off to play hero!
Lana: (pointing to the now-mangled flora) Simon,what are you doing in that plant?"
Smiling sheepishly like someone caught in the act of something bad, Simon began yanking the leaves.
Simon: Why, pruning the leaves, of course.
He continued yanking the leaves off. Lana turned and faced Kevin, her face extremely serious.
Lana: Kevin, Hyrule is an amazing world, but it's also dangerous. Please, be careful."
Kevin: (salutes her) Aren't I always?
Later on Hyrule, in the Courtyard of North Palace...
Kevin: This is awesome! Me...meeting my favorite fictional hero!
Kevin and Link approached each other. They shook hands.
Kevin: (with some awe) You're a real legend where I come from, Link.(his eyes caught sight of something) Hey, what happened to your leg?
A white bandage was securely wrapped around Link's upper-left leg.
Link: Aw, it's nothing. Pulled a muscle dodging boomerangs. Goes with the territory, you know.
Kevin: (nods)Yeah.
Link: (points to kevins weapons) So, Captain N, is this the famous Powerpad and Zapper I've heard so much about?"
Pride displayed on Kevin's face as he pulled out the orange Zapper and twirled it.
Kevin: The one and only. But hey, call me Kevin. All my friends do.
Princess Zelda: (clears throat,stand from her seat in the courtyard) You two heroes can pat yourselves on the back some other time. We have important business.
Link: Oh, yeah, right, Ganon.
Kevin: (somewhat shocked) Ganon? I thought you took care of him?
Link: So did I,But we just heard a rumor that someone's trying to restore his power.
They both turned to face Zelda.
Kevin: You got any clues?
Zelda eagle-eyed Kevin.
Zelda: Only one: His minions are searching for a magic potion that will restore his power. We've gotta find it first.
Link: (boastful) Of course, We don't really need help. But Zelda insisted.
He drew his sword, demonstrating his skill at swinging it with pinpoint accuracy.
Zelda: Link,you know Ganon's minions have vowed to get revenge on you for defeating their master.
Meanwhile,on Metroid,The vile Mother Brain is watching the heroes on the viewer in her lair. Her miniature spy bots,once again at work.
Mother Brain:(sadistically) This is perfect! I couldn't have planned it better myself. Those two idiots of mine won't have to search for the Potion of Power. Captain Nice Guy will lead them right to it.
Rubbing her two long tentacles together, Mother Brain turned back to the viewer, switching the rotoswitch on the wall.
King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were up to their armpits in swamp water.
King Hippo: (complaining) Aw, this is what I get for following your stupid directions. I'm gettin' water logged!
Raising green fingers from the swamp water, Eggy, with a frog sitting on his head.
Eggplant Wizard: W-well, so what? Look at my fingers. They're all pickled.
Mother Brain's voice: I didn't send you fish-heads to Hyrule to have a pool party!"
Hippo and Eggy looked up. The image of Mother Brain's face appeared before them over the swamp.
Hippo and Eggy: Mother Brain!!
Mother Brain: You were expecting Donkey Kong? Where's my Potion of Power to power up Ganon?
Eggy : Well, uh, -
Mother Brain: Nevermind! Just get over to Rauru Town and follow Captain N. Get me that potion, or your dead!!! Got it!!
Mother Brain's visage disappeared. Hippo and Eggplant continued staring at where Mother Brain's face had been. Their vision suddenly was interrupted by a large watersnake raising its head. As fast as their feet would take them, they were out of the swamp.
The streets were empty. As if to emphasize this, a garbage can blew over, spilling its contents out onto the street. The spilled papers followed along mindlessly. The wind blew through, howling and picking up dust.
Kevin: Where is everybody?
Sharp clicks of a woman's footsteps echoed down the alleys and streets.
Gameboy: Human person sighted.
Zelda dashed over, followed by the other three.
Zelda: Excuse me.
The blonde woman spun around, almost dropping her armful of clothing, giving a piercing shriek. "
Zelda: Don't be afraid. We just need your help finding the Potion of Power.
Not recognizing Zelda as the Princess, the woman backed off.
Woman: Please. I know nothing.
She spun around, dashing off. Her clicking heels vanished around a corner. Kevin, Link, and Zelda looked at each other, then the woman shrieked again. Immediately, they dashed around the corner. Disguised as Hylians, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard followed behind.
Hippo: There they go.,C'mon.
The woman had dropped her armful of clothing and was lying on the ground. Towering above her was a moblin, special head-gear signifying his high rank in the moblin hierarchy.
Moblin: Tell me what you know...or else.
Woman: I told you, I know nothing."
The moblin lifted his spear.
Link: Moblin! Release the woman!"
He turned and faced Link, flanked by Zelda, Kevin, and Gameboy.
Moblin: So! We meet again, Link. Only this time you'll pay for defeating our master!
Gameboy: Human life function endangered.
Gameboy moved between the prone woman and the moblin. The moblin nodded and raised a hand, summoning another four moblins out from hiding. The heroes stepped backwards. Link placed his right hand on his sword. Three of the four new moblins jumped down to the ground and joined the leader.
Kevin: Mind if we even up the odds?
Link: Sure. Three to five sounds about right.
The moblin that remained on the roof now jumped down to attack Zelda. Zelda raised her bow, cocked it, and released a golden energy arrow, hitting the moblin while it was still in mid-air. The blonde woman gasped, holding onto Gameboy.
In the interest of showing off, Kevin had opted to do acrobatic flips out of another moblin's way. Kevin mislanded, falling onto his back. The moblin's spear came crashing down at a blinding speed. Smacking into the pavement right next to Kevin's head, the spear was pulled back to strike again - this time with more accuracy.
The spear was raised, about to come down. It never did. The moblin suddenly reeled over backwards and blipped out of existence. Behind where the moblin had been was Gameboy with his LCD screen stretched into a hand holding a bat. The hand and weapon retracted into Gameboy's smiling face.
Kevin smiled too, but the smile vanished quickly. Kevin pulled out his Zapper, nailing the moblin that had come up behind Gameboy. Now he could finally smile.
Link was still exchanging blows with his moblin.
Link:You look like you could use a fencing lesson.
He jumped over the moblin's spear swing, landing on the other side of the moblin. Link's sword flared, destroying the moblin with its power. He turned and faced the last moblin, as did the other three.
Link: Ready to try your luck?
Blonde woman caught sight of a dorky-looking kid.
Kid: Mother! .
The moblin rushed over and grabbed the dorky kid. His spear was immediately by the kid's neck.
Moblin: Drop your weapons or else! Ahahahahahahahaha!
Link and Zelda glanced at each other. Their hands opened, letting their weapons fall - one with a metallic clunk, the other with a wooden clatter.
Moblin: (points to Kevin) You too,human,Drop it."
Kevin: Here you go.
Kevin tossed his Zapper at the moblin. It landed with a plastic tumble. Kevin bent down and grabbed a blanket from the blonde woman's dropped armful of clothing. He tossed it at the moblin, covering him from head to ankle. The moblin let the dorky kid go, reaching up to get the blanket off himself.
Moblin: You Dare?!
Link dropped to one knee, grabbed his sword, and released a bolt of energy from the sword at the moblin. The 'tossed' sword (the terminology used in The Legend of Zelda is "throwing the sword"; in Zelda II, it's called "shooting") smacked into the moblin, obliterating him.
The blonde woman finally got up off the ground. She's then reunited with her son.
Woman: Thank you for saving my son, kind sir.
From nearly out of nowhere, she pulled out a map and handed it to Kevin.
Woman: Please, take this as a reward. It's a map to an ancient desert palace. (points out a spot on the map) There lies a Golden Key that will unlock the Potion of Power you seek.
Kevin: Thank you, ma'am.
Link moved to his side and stretched a hand out.
Link: Maybe I should take that. I know the terrain better than you do, Kevin.
Kevin: Sure, Link. I'm here to help you.
Kevin hands the map to Link. Unseen to any in the party, two plumpy people in disguise peered out from around the corner of a building. One hippo and one veggie.
The ferocious winds blew gigantic boulders above their heads, but, strangely, next to no wind was reaching the four travelers in the desert valley.
Link: We're almost there. I can see the palace up ahead.
Rumbling beneath their feet suddenly erupted into a towering Geldarm. The force of the long antlionish Geldarm's emergence sent Link, Zelda, Kevin, and Gameboy flying backwards, each landing hard, each spouting some variation of "Ouch!"
Being last to land on the hard brown dirt, Kevin whipped out his Zapper and blasted the Geldarm into non-existence. Getting up to their collective feet, Link sneered from behind Kevin.
Link: Nice move. Where did you learn that?
Mistaking Link's angry sarcasm as a compliment, Kevin turned and faced him, a smile on his face.
Kevin: My high school gym class.
Realizing the sneer was lost on Kevin, Link looked down.
Link: Right. C'mon, we'd better keep moving.
Two figures rushed out from behind a boulder.It's King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard.
Eggplant Wizard: Let's go. .
A sudden unexpected gust of wind sent one rock hurtling down at them.
Hippo: Whoa! A huge rock!
Eggy: Take this!
Eggy brought his wand up and zapped the approaching boulder. It didn't stop. But when it did hit them, it wasn't a boulder; it was a tomato of gigantic proportions. It smacked into Hippo and Eggy, covering both of them with vast amounts of instant ketchup.
Hippo: I hate tomatoes. .
The entrance was dark, and the narrow gorge leading up to it was dusty and depressing. One statue lay near the entrance. Perhaps it had been an Armos Knight, but its broken limbs ensured that it wouldn't be coming to life if touched. Link sat down on a rock.
Kevin: Wh-what are we stopping for? This adventure's just gettin' exciting.
Link removed his shield and shrunk it, putting it in his belt pack.
Link: Stop treating this like a game. This is a serious mission.
Kevin: Hey, I - I didn't mean anything -
Link: (stands up) Forget it. Let's go!
The look on his face was practically wreathing with hate. He walked through the entrance, leaving Kevin staring after him, wondering what prompted this.
The heroes went down the staircase. Link drew his sword, rushing down at the onslaught of Ganon's monsters racing at them. With one slash of his sword, they were gone, with Link plowing right through where they had been. When Kevin and Zelda finally caught up with him, he was between another two monsters, destroying them with one slash of his sword.
At the end of his stroke, a hammer flew at him from the side, knocking his sword out of his hand. Kevin and Zelda rushed up to his side. He was holding his right wrist where the hammer had hit it. Kevin smoothly pulled out his Zapper and got rid of the hammer, allowing Link to get rid of the hammer's ugly owner while it was looking at its hands in astonishment over the vanished hammer.
While Link sheathed his sword, Zelda leaned over to Kevin. Link turned his head just in time to see Zelda plant a kiss on Kevin's cheek. Enraged, Link clenched his hands and grounded his teeth, then stormed away. Kevin went from pleased at the kiss to confused at the storming. Kevin and Zelda had to double-time to catch up. Link was waiting for them on a large round elevator platform.
They stepped off when the elevator reached the bottom. Suspended above a platform inside a glass container was a rather large key and an old scroll.
Link: There it is!
Gameboy: (happily) Golden Key! Golden Key!
Zelda: Look, that parchment must tell us where to find the Potion of Power. So, how do we get them out of there?
Kevin: Easy.(pulls out his Zapper) This table just needs a little remodeling.
Link held up a hand, pushing Kevin back.
Link: Save your energy. I'll do it.
With one swipe of the Magical Sword, the glass shattered, sending the key and the parchment raining to the platform. He bent down with a prideful smile and gathered up the key and parchment. Just then, a rumbling started. Link looked up, trying to identify the source of the rumble.
Kevin: Get back!!
No argument from Link. He stepped back immediately. The top of the platform exploded upward in a fury, making room for a second to come up. On the rising platform was a Centaur with the head of a horse.
Link: Horsehead!
Horsehead: (whinny's) Who dares to steal Ganon's Golden Key?
Zelda: (steps forward) That key belongs to the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Horsehead: (whinnys) Silence!
Horsehead's Morning Star whipped out, nearly decapitating Zelda, save for her quick movement. In the same motion, Zelda pulled out her bow and launched a golden energy arrow at Horsehead, which was absorbed by his armor and did no damage. Link took front and center, drawing his sword.
Link: Stay back, guys!
Kevin: I just can't stand here and watch! Kevin stepped forward. Zelda blocks Kevin's path.
Zelda: Ugh. No, Kevin. Link knows what he's doing.
Link launched himself into the air, sword above his head, as Horsehead's Morning Star passed harmlessly beneath him to where Link had been only moments before. He came down quickly. Horsehead's arm came up, batting Link away from him. Kevin and Zelda gasped almost simultaneously. Link hit the wall.
His sword spun through the air, sticking upright in the floor much too far away for him to get to. Horsehead pointed at Link.
Horsehead: (Whinny) You are too puny and weak for Horsehead.
Zelda: (crying out) Link! .
Link manages to push himself up.
Horsehead: (Whinny) Prepare to meet thy fate, hero. (raises his Morning Star) This is for Lord Ganon!
Link gasped. Kevin gasped. With one press of a Power Pad button, Kevin was streaming at Link - at faster than normal speeds. He grabbed Link, knocking him out of the way just moments before the Morning Star hit the wall behind where Link was standing. With Link now face-planted into the floor, Kevin stopped, dropping to one knee.
Kevin: How 'bout you preparing to eat Zapper, Horseface?"
Instead of aiming his Zapper at Horsehead, he aimed at the ceiling above the monster. Two blasts brought a section of ceiling cascading down on Horsehead. Horsehead screams out in pain,before blipping out of existence.
Link finally had enough of pretending to be carpet and picked himself up, rejecting help from Kevin. Both Kevin and Zelda moved over to him.
Zelda: Link! Are you all right?!
Kevin: Sorry you had to eat dirt, dude, But I just remembered: Horsehead's only vulnerable in one spot - (points to his own head) on his head.
Link looked away.
Link: Oh, yeah, right. Guess I forgot.
The look on his face said he didn't forget, but was just too ashamed to say otherwise.
Kevin: Hey, it coulda happened to anybody under that kind of pressure.
Zelda: I see why Lana depends on you so much, Kevin.
Kevin: (smiled) Aw, it was nothin'. Just doing what a Game Enforcer does.
Link: (frowns) Yeah. Right.
He yanked his sword out of the floor and retrieved the parchment he had dropped before he had launched himself at Horsehead.
Link: (sourly) Anybody besides me interested in where this key fits "
Kevin, Zelda, and Gameboy came over and peered at the parchment. Link read the ancient writing:
Link: The Golden Key to the Golden Door leads across to the island shore.
Kevin: I've got it! (takes the parchment) It's the Island Palace. I even know the way through the secret tunnel.
Link: (pulls the parchment out of Kevin's hands) So do I. C'mon!
Kevin stared after Link as Link walked away.
Kevin: H-hey, wh-what's bugging Link?"
Zelda stepped up to Kevin's side.
Zelda: I don't know. He's never acted like this before.
A scraggly owl called from its perch above the graveyard.
Kevin: This place sure looks a lot creepier in person.
Link's head turned.
Link: That sounded like a moa.
His sword whipped out.
Link: There it is!"
A bolt from his sword smashed into a tree, sending it toppling over.
Link: No! Over there!
Another sword blast sent another tree falling over.
Link: They're all around us!
Unseen by those in the party, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard minutely raised their heads from behind the second tree Link decimated. Their sweat soaked-brows spoke volumes of the scare the tree's destruction and the sword's power had given them.
Gameboy: Insufficient data. Insufficient data.
Zelda: Link. I don't see anything. You're pushing too hard. Relax."
Kevin looked at Zelda.
Kevin: No, Zelda. he's right."
Large floating eyeballs suddenly appeared.
Kevin took aim.
Kevin: Get ready, guys. The name of the game is Eyeball Busting.
Link got rid of one. Zelda killed a second with an arrow. Kevin zapped another.
Gameboy: Initiating defensive game action.
Gameboy stretched his LCD screen and it formed a baseball bat. He used it to clobber another two moas.
Link: (takes off running) Hurry! The tunnel entrance is right around here someplace!
Kevin: My map from home would sure come in handy about now.
Link: I could find the tunnel with my eyes cloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssed!
Link disappeared in one downward motion. Where he was at was replaced by a gaping hole.
Link: Aaaaahhh! (Splashes) Ooof....(coughs) Yuk.
Link spat the filthy water out of his mouth, but remained sitting in it where he had landed.
Zelda: (called, surprised) Link!
Gameboy: Recommend future search with open eyes.
Zelda jumped into the hole, followed by Kevin and Gameboy. After they had vanished into the hole, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard moved over to it, looking down. Hippo half-turned the single eyeball next to him.
King Hippo: Whoa. It sure is dark down there. You wanna go first?
Eggplant Wizard: Hey, Blimpo. I'm over here.
Hippo looked at Eggy, then looked at the other eyeball he had glanced at first - a moa. Hippo and Eggy,scared out of their minds) picked up heel and ran.
Hippo: Uh, I've got a better idea! Let's take a boat!
Sitting on a raft in the middle of the water, with the Island Palace in the distance, both Hippo and Eggy were rowing.
Hippo: Hey, Plantface! You're sitting the wrong way!
Eggy had been facing the opposite direction from Hippo.
Eggy:Uh,uh,You are. The island's behind you."
Hippo: Then let me sit over there. I get seasick riding backwards.
He stood,rocking the raft.
Eggy: Wait, you're rockin' the raft!"
They both tumbled off.
Eggy: Yaaahh!! See what you did?"
Hippo: Aw, shaddap and swim.
At the Island Palace,the heroes are riding an elevator
Zelda: I can hardly believe we made it. .
The elevator they were on stopped, allowing them to step off.
Zelda: (looks around) Now which way, Kevin?
Kevin: What do you think, Link?"
Link: (rudely) You're the hotshot Game Enforcer. Why ask me?"
Kevin looked at him. He looked around. They walked down one path; coming around the bend, they were confronted with a door.
Kevin: If my memory's on target, if we open that door -
Gameboy(in haste) Request acknowledged. Prepare to open door?
Kevin: (cries out) Gameboy, no!!!
Kevin's cry came too late. The door slid open, releasing a bulky Darknut. The Darknut's club swung wide, smashing into an Armos Knight statue, guaranteeing that Armos would never come alive. A bottle of magic fell out of the broken statue. Link stepped forward, bringing out his sword. He shot the door's trigger, sending the door slamming shut. The door bent inward with each blow from the Darknut, but refused to give.
Link: (snidely) Nice move, Gameboy. Did Captain N teach you that one?
Kevin: Hey, go easy on him,He's just malfunctioned.
Link: Yeah! And he almost got us wasted!
The two were about ready to tackle each other.
Zelda: Hey, c'mon, guys. We're here to find the Potion of Power, remember?
Gameboy drew their attention to the bottle that had fallen from the statue.
Gameboy: Potential energy source detected.
Kevin bent to pick it up.
Kevin: A bottle of magic. Good work." (eyeing the bottle) This could come in handy.
He pocketed it. Link looked at Kevin aside.
Link: Who needs magic when you've got brains.
Kevin could only watch Link walk away, shaking his head with a smile. They approached a circular door, glowing golden with its own kind of internal light.
Link: See? I found it. The Golden Door.
Kevin: Be cautious,Link. It may be a trap!
Link looked over his shoulder at Kevin, disgust dripping in his voice.
Link: I know what I'm doing. I'm goin' in.
He stuck the key into the keyhole next to the door. The door's three golden semicircular slaps slid out of the way. Link gasped. The door opened to reveal a suspended path, weaving between large statues. They stepped through.
Kevin: Whoa! These statues are awesome.
After passing one, an armored man mounted on an armored horse, the man's head turned to watch them, eyes glowing briefly. The Potion of Power hovered above a clawish pedestal. It glittered and glistened solemnly.
Zelda: Look, we made it in time. It's Potion of Power."
Coming up to it, Kevin and Link looked at each other.
Link and Kevin: I'll get it.
Booming Voice: Ah,Princess Zelda and Link!!
The four heroes turned around. Zelda gasped. Standing on the path was the armored man on the armored horse.
Kevin: Whoa,It's Rebonak the Ironknuckle."
Rebonak: You two shall pay for Lord Ganon's defeat! He shall be avenged!
Kevin and Link drew their respective weapons.
Link: Move it! You're blocking my shot.
Kevin: And you totally blew it last time, remember?
The horse charged. In the time it took Link to bring his shield out and enlarge it on his arm, Kevin fired (bringing a look of shock from Link).
When Kevin's shot failed, he half-turned to Link.
Kevin: We gotta knock him off his horse.
Link: (upset) I know how to handle this,so back off!
The Ironknuckle plowed right between Kevin and Link. Link yelled. Kevin yelled.
Gameboy: Danger, danger! Danger,Kevin Keene! Danger, danger!
It was then that Zelda looked back at the potion. King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were standing there, laughing. Eggy had the potion in his left hand. Zelda turned around.
Zelda: Link! Kevin! They're stealing the Potion of Power!
Kevin turned around.
Kein: Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo. What are you doing here?
King Hippo: Just what it looks like, Captain Nothing.
Eggplant Wizard: And now, we're gonna to restore Ganon - just like Big Momma Brain ordered.
Eggy and Hippo raced out the door behind the pedestal.
Zelda: We've gotta stop them. Aaaaahhhhh!
Zelda was suddenly grabbed and hoisted into the air by the Ironknuckle.
Link: He's got Zelda!
Link shot his sword. The bolt hit the Ironknuckle's armor, barely missing Zelda, as she hung by her midsection in the crook of Ironknuckle's arm.
Link looked at Kevin, despair clearly written on his face.
Link: Okay, Kevin. Let's try it your way. This is going to take two of us.
Link's admission brought a demented smile to Kevin's face. Link raised his sword again, this time along with Kevin and his Zapper. Their blasts vaporized the horse, sending both armored man and Princess to the floor.
Zelda got up and ran back to where Kevin and Link were,...and moved behind Kevin.
Kevin: This'll be a shot of a lifetime. We gotta make it good.
Link nodded. Zelda cocked her bow. As the Ironknuckle raced at them with a long black sword drawn, Kevin's zapper bolt, Link's sword shot, and Zelda's arrow slammed into his chest. Hippo and Eggy ran across a span of bridge.
King Hippo: (laughs) So long, suckers!
The bridge crumbled under their weight. Kevin, Link, and Zelda stopped running just in time to keep from plummeting into the gap.
Kevin: Oh, man!
Eggplant Wizzard: Thanks a bunch, fellas. We couldn't have done it without you.
The four were left on the other side. Humiliated, Link was looking down at his feet.
Link:This is my fault. I acted like a jerk because you were such a whiz kid on my turf.
Zelda: (frowns) Now we'll never get past Ganon's minions in time to stop them.
Kevin (smile) Oh, yes, we can. We're awesome when we work together.
Link looked at Kevin, smiling his first genuine smile of friendship at him.
Link: Instead of against each other.
Link was evidently relieved Kevin wasn't going to hold this against him. Kevin turned to Gameboy.
Kevin: Gameboy,Warp to the palace and bring back the N Team. We may need them.
Gameboy pressed his Up arrow key and soared up into the air, going through a warp zone.
Inside Death Mountain's largest chamber, on a dark stone tablet, placed atop a stone pyramid, lay a cute-looking pig surrounded by Hippo, Eggy, and Mother Brain.That pig is Ganon in his "powerless" form.
Ganon: (strangled voice) Give it to me. Give me the potion.
Mother Brain: Hurry and give him the potion!
Eggy lowered the potion closer to the cute pig. He held up two cute piggy hands, awaiting the potion.
Ganon: I want my power back!
Zelda: No! Stop!
Zelda's voice rang out from the darkness at the bottom of the underground stone pyramid.
Mother Brain: Hurry! Do it now!
The potion was handed to awaiting cute pink piggy hands. Its mouth was raised to cute piggy lips, which spilled and drooled the potion - in a rather cute way. Almost immediately, the cute pig began growing, changing from cute pink to ugly barely brown. Pudgy hands elongated into long cruel fingers. The short farm pig snout pushed out into one that could top a warthog. The cute little pig was now quite a good size bigger - and much uglier.
Ganon: Link! Zelda! How nice to see you again. And you brought your friends to your funerals!
Ganon caused the ground to start violently shaking. A warp opens and Gameboy returns with Simon,Pit,and Mega Man.
Pit: Oh, no!
Simon: If you're trying to scare me -
A crack developed between his feet and widened.
Simon: - you're doing a good job!"
Debris started falling, forcing everyone to dodge. Kevin reached for his Zapper. Link pulled him back.
Link: Forget your Zapper. He's too powerful. We're gonna have to fight fire with fire.
Kevin: I gotcha. The magic bottle Gameboy found.
Kevin said, pulling out the bottle of magic he had stuck in his pocket. He opened it and started pouring it on Link's shield.
Kevin: I don't know what this does, but I sure hope it works.
Ganon: You won't win this time,Link!. Videoland is mine!"
Mother Brain: (protest) Wait a minute! I don't like freelancers. You're supposed to be workin' for me.
Ganon: (shouts) Ganon works for no one!
Ganon raised a hand, sending a shockwave that knocked Mother Brain over on her side. King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard ran over to her. Kevin and Link stepped forward.
Kevin: Take your best shot, Ganon!
Ganon faced them. Opening his arms, he increased in size, becoming even larger - and more formidable. It did startle the heroes, but still they stood their ground.
Ganon: I shall kill you as well,stupid boy!
A bolt of frightening proportions leapt from Ganon's hands, flying right at Link. The bolt hit Link's shield, - but the reflect magic on Link's shield sent it flying back. The magic on the shield was so strong, Link wasn't even knocked back in the slightest. The bolt hit Ganon. A whirlwind, rather vortex-like, formed. It picked Mother Brain, Eggy, and Hippo on its way out, making a large hole in the ceiling. Vanished, only the heroes were left standing in the chamber.
Kevin and Link faced each other.
Kevin: (smiles) That reflect magic is awesome stuff.
Link: (smiles back) I'll get you some for your next birthday.
The other N Teamsters and Zelda came up to them, cheering.
Zelda was excited.
Zelda: We did it! We saved Hyrule! Thanks to you! (kisses Link on his right cheek,She then faces Kevin) And you. The best team of heroes ever!
She kissed Kevin on his left cheek.
Then they all cheered.
And so,Ganon was defeated once again. However,both he and his minions will return. When that day comes, Princess Zelda and Link will be ready to stop him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: I had a script this time. So it was easier. Anyway,our adventures in Hyrule continue next time.
Sunday, August 16, 2015
Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 9: Trouble With Tetris!
On Metroid, Mother Brain, King Hippo, and Eggplant Wizard are watching the N-Team,in their warp wagon,dodging asteroids for fun.
Mother Brain: C'mon,asteroids,smash those N-Twerps!
The N-Team is clears the asteroid field.
Kevin: Well,that was fun. Now lets head back to the palace.
As the the N-Team is heading back to the Palace of Power,the Warp Wagon is pulled down by a powerful force.
Kevin: (cries out)Whoa! Were being pulled down by some force. I cant control the Warp Wagon.
The Heroes are about to crash into a planet. Back on Metroid, Mother Brain is very happy that the N-Team is gonna crash and burn.
Mother Brain: (laughs evilly) Rest in Peace, N-Team! Rest in Peace!
Suddenly,the screen becomes static.
Mother Brain: (annoyed) Aw c'mon,just when it was getting great! Something from that planet must be causing the interference. Hippo,Wizard. Go to that planet and find out what's up?
Hippo: Whatever you say,my Main Brain.
Meanwhile,The N-Team has just crash landed on Tetris,a square shaped world.
Kevin: Everyone alright?
Lana: Yeah,I think so. Where are we?
As the N-Team exits the Warp Wagon,they are greeted by the locals,Humans with Square features.
Kevin: Hope the natives are friendly?
They are soon greeted by Mayor Squareski,the ruler of Tetris.
Mayor: Well now,it seems we have some visitors.
He begins to examin Simon's face and touches it.
Mayor: Hmmm? We haven't seen many 'Round People' in years.
Simon: Hey,watch the face.
Mayor: We haven't had and visitors like yourself since a young man traveled hear 2 years ago. I'm Mayor Squareski,ruler of Tetris.
Lana: So that's where we are? I'm Princess Lana,Ruler of the Universe.
Mayor: Oh,Princess Lana! It truly is an honor. We must make this a Holiday!
A Tetris man carring a calender appears. The calender is fulled to the brim with holidays,with only 3 days blank.
Mayor: As Mayor, I declare this day to be "Her Royal Roundness Day"
The croud cheers.
Kevin: (smiles) These people sure love their holidays. This world seems interesting. I say we stick around.
Mayor: Wonderful,I'll grant you a tour.
The N-Team follow Mayor Squareski. Unknown to everyone,Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo have arrived and secretly follow the heroes.
Lana: My father used to tell me stories about Tetris when I was little. Tetris never joined the War due to it's non-violent nature,If I remember correctly.
Mayor: That is correct,your Roundness.
The Mayor leads the team to a Blocky car,with square wheels.
Mayor: Hop in,everyone. It's time for the tour.
Mayor Squareski drives The N-Team around the city... and with the square wheels,it's a very bumpy ride. Simon almost gets car sick.
Kevin: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor,but woudn't this ride be better with round wheels.
Mayor: Oh of course,my boy. But Rectangular and Square shapes are the thing here,round things wouldn't fit in.
They come to a trafic stop and Mega Man notices a Tower with a sign with the word 'Tetris' on it.
Mega Man: What's that Tower?
Mayor: That is Tetrad Tower,home of the Sacred Square,the very thing that Powers Tetris and keeps the planet together. It's guarded by the Keeper of the Square.
Kevin: (comes to a realisation) It must've been the force from that Square that pulled us toward this planet.
Lana: Can we check it out?
Mayor: I'm afraid the tower is off limits to tourists. But,I know of a place that isn't. You round folks hungry? I know a great place for food and entertainment.
The trafic light turns green and they go. Inside a nearby sewer,King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard have heard everything.
Hippo: Ha! Did you hear that? A new source of Power!
Eggy: Mother Brain will be thrilled when we tell her about this. We must swipe that square.
Inside the Tetrad Tower,the Keeper is guarding the outside of the Sacred Square Chamber. The only way to enter the chamber is with the Sacred Key,an item that only the Keeper has.
His name is Lyle. He's a skiny and nerdy blonde dude,with a problem with grace. he wore glasses and a square outfit. The biggest thing about Lyle,was that he was a normal human and not a Tetris Person.
Lyle is sitting in a chair,bouncing a basketball against the wall. He fails and the ball smacks him in the head,knocking him back. His boss comes in.
Boss: (annoyed) If you're gonna be taken seriously as the Keeper,if you slack off like that.
Lyle: (getting up) Y-yes sir.
Boss: You're shift is done for the day. Time to go home.
Lyle and the boss walk to the exit,which can only be opened with the Sacred Key. Lyle sticks the key into a square slot next to it and the door opens. It closes the moment he takes it out. Lyke walks into the closed door,thinking that it was open. needless to say,it hurt him.
Lyle: That smarts!
Lyle opens it again and this time he leaves the key in for a few more seconds. The door stays open and Lyle goes through before it shuts.
Meanwhile,Mayor Squareski takes the N Team to a resturaunt called Cubies. The Team and the Mayor are infront of the establishment.
Mayor: Welcome to Cubies,home of the Squarest meals in the world.
As the N-Team walks in,a Bus arrives with Lyle stepping out. Unknown to all,Hippo and Eggy are watching,both disguised as Tetris Blocks.
Eggplant Wizard: That must be the Keeper of the Sacred Square. We need that Key.
Eggplant Wizard contacts Mother Brain via comunicator.
Eggplant Wizard: Calling,Mother Brain! come in,Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: I suspect you two have found that power source?
Hippo: Not yet.
Eggy: But we Did find out what it is. It was the Sacred Block of Tetris.
Mother Brain: (proudy) Good work. Now get me that Square! (serious,yelling) And Don't Blow it,Boobs!
The transmition ends.
Hippo: C'mon!. The nerd went inside that diner!
Inside of Cubies,the N-Team are sitting at a table, having sonething to eat. The food is square and rectangular.
Simon: They really need to lay off the blocky theme. Bet the food taste like bricks.
The band starts playing,Simon is forced into a dance with one of the locals. Kevin and Lana decide to dance too. The band playing is called The Blockheads,the hippest music group on Tetris. Lyle enter and sees Lana.
Lyle: (somewhat nervous) Oh no,Lana! I gotta get out of here!
Before he can leave,he is forced onto the dance floor by one of the locals. Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo are there dancing too,disgused as a couple. Lyle is a clutsy dancer as well. The Minions of Mother Brain manage to get Lyle's Key,but Lyle has a clutz attack and makes them drop it. Lyle soon slips and bumps into Lana,losing his glasses.
Lyle: (searching for his glasses on the floor) Sorry,my falt.
Lana recognises the voice.
Lana: Lyle? Is that you?
Pit finds Lyle's glasses and hands them to Lyle. Lyle puts his glassess back on,and stands up.
Lana: (happy to see him) It is you,Big Brother!
Kevin:Brother?
Lana: Everyone this is my Brother,Lyle.
Simon: (in disbelief) You mean this clutz is related to you? Unbelievable.
Lana: (to lyle) We haven't seen each other in 3 years,not since the war began.
Lyle: I hate war and violence,so I ran away to a Tetris,a planet of peace. Here,I'm the Keeper of the Sacred Square (reaches for his key and panics when it's not there) Oh,No! The Key!
Simon spots it on the floor.
Simon: Is that it?
Lyke: Yes,yes.
Just as Eggy and Hippo (on the floor) are about to grab the Key,Simon steps on Eggy's hand and picks it up. Simon gives the Key back to Lyle.
Lyle: (relieved) Thanks. Without this,the Tetrad Tower would be inaccessable. (to lana) So how is father?
Lana: (sadly) He was,er is, imprisoned in the Mirror World.
The news shocks Lyle and makes him upset.
Lyle: And I just ran away...when father needed me? You must think I'm such a coward and a loser? If only I had the capacity to lead and fight,I woudn't suck so much.
Kevin: Don't worry,Lyle. We'll shape you up.
A montage of The N Team tring to train Lyle as a fighter to boost his self-confidence. At first it fails. But it soon starts to work. Then,Lyle is fitted for Royal clothing.
A more confident Lyle,in his royal attire,walks up to Lana and kisses her hand.
Lyle: Prince Lyle at your Service,My Lady.
Hours later,at Lyle's appartment. Lyke is in his bedroom opening up a safe.
Lyle: Make yourselves at home,guys. I just gotta put the Key into the safe.
As Lyle leaves,Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo sneak in through the window and attempt to break the safe. Eggy tries a tomato bomb,but it fails.
Eggy: Oh,no. A dud!
Hippo: Yeah,Like you!
In the living room area,Lyle and the N-team are toasting King Charles and to the Peace
Lyle: (raises glass) To King Charles and Peace in Videoland!
The whole N-Team,sans Gameboy,raise their glasses.
Lyle: You know sis,now that I've regained my sences,I think it's time I joined you in ruling Videoland. We can be Co-rulers and and a great team. We'll bring this Universe to peace for sure.
Lana is taken back by this and doesn't know how to respond.
Lana: Well..um,I..
Lyle: I gotta go check on something,I'll leave you to think about this.
Lyle leaves.
Kevin: You're not seriously thinking about having him rule with you?
Lana: I don't think he can be an effective leader,maybe in time,but not today. And I don't think I have the patience to teach him.
Unknown to The team,Lyle overhears everything. Lyle is upset. But vows to prove himself.
Back inside Lyles,bedroom,After many failed attempts by the Eggplant wizard,Hippo punches the safe open.
Hippo: Now that's how it's done!
Eggy takes the key. Lyle catches them in the act.
Lyle: As Prince of Videoland,I demand you return that Key!
King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard laugh at the prince.
Hippo: Ha! And what'cha gonna do if we don't,wimp?
Lyle tries to stop them,but he fails and gets knocked into a fold away wall bed,which closes up. The N Team arrive,but they are too late.
Hippo: Ha! See ya,Suckers.
The henchmen step outside the window and fly away via Eggplant Wizard's Broccoli Copter.
Kevin: No! They escaped!
They hear Lyle within the wall. Simon unfolds the bed and Lyle pops out and lands on the bed.
Lyle: (depressed) Some Keeper,I turned out to be..too weak and pathetic to protect the Key from a couple of bafoonish baddies. I'm a failure!
Lana: That's not true Lyle,you just need time to develop your skills.
Kevin: We gotta get that Key back,,before Tetris is doomed. Gameboy,you stay here and guard Lyle.
Gameboy: Affermitive!
Kevin: Let's go,N-Team!
As the N-Team leaves,Lyle is still depressed.
Lyle: I'm hopeless!
Meanwhile,inside the Tetrad Tower,Mother Brain[with her minions] uses the Key to open up the chamber to the Sacred Square. The trio enter the chamber and Mother Brain steals the Sacred Square.
Mother Brain: With this,I will rule Videoland,once again!
As the villains make their escape,Tetris starts to fall apart,due to the Sacred Square being removed from it's resting place. The citizens feel the effects and panic.
Back at his apartment,Lyle is also starts feeling the effects and panics.
Lyle: The Sacred Square Has Been Moved! No!
Gameboy: Danger! Danger! Danger!
Lyle: (determined) I Won't fail this time! C'mon,Gameboy.
As Lyle and Gameboy leave to save the day,The N-Team has caught up to Mother Brain and her minions.
Kevin: Not so fast,Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Captain N! I'd love to stay and chat,but evil calls.
Mother Brain laughs evilly as she and her Minions escape. The chase is on,with the N-Team blasting falling 'Tetris' blocks along the way. Mother Brain traps the N-Team in a block tunnel,but Kevin manages to escape before it closed up.
Mother Brain and her minions find the Warp back to Metroid.
Mother Brain: There it is,The warp to Metroid! We're home free!
Lyle: Not so fast,Mother Brain!
The villains look up to see Lyle carying a big bucket and riding on Gameboy.
Lyle and Gameboy have come to the rescue. Lyle spills a black substance from the bucket over Mother Brain,causing her to cry out.
Mother Brain: (angrilly) You'll pay for that!
Kevin jumps down from a building and kicks the Square away from the evil Brain. Lyle catches it.
Mother Brain: (shouting angrilly) This Isn't The End!
The evil trio hightail it back to Metroid
Later on,after the Sacred Square has been returned,everyone is gathered at City hall. Mayor Squareski is about to honor the N-Team.
Mayor: In honor of your heroism,I Mayor Blockov Squareski,hereby declare this day,a Holiday,N-Team Appreciation Day!
Kevin: Ah,thanks,Mayor,but that's ok.
Lana: (to lyle) You really proved yourself a hero. I'm proud of you. I will be honored if you would join the N-Team.
Lyle: Because of the N-Team,I learned to conquer my insecurity. Thank you. As for your offer,I must decline. I'm needed here. Being the Keeper of Tetris' Sacred Square is a big job...a job that I'm proud to have.
The citizens of Tetris cheer and launch Lyle into the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Finally,the toughest part is over! Next up,a doubke whammy of Zelda XOvers.
Mother Brain: C'mon,asteroids,smash those N-Twerps!
The N-Team is clears the asteroid field.
Kevin: Well,that was fun. Now lets head back to the palace.
As the the N-Team is heading back to the Palace of Power,the Warp Wagon is pulled down by a powerful force.
Kevin: (cries out)Whoa! Were being pulled down by some force. I cant control the Warp Wagon.
The Heroes are about to crash into a planet. Back on Metroid, Mother Brain is very happy that the N-Team is gonna crash and burn.
Mother Brain: (laughs evilly) Rest in Peace, N-Team! Rest in Peace!
Suddenly,the screen becomes static.
Mother Brain: (annoyed) Aw c'mon,just when it was getting great! Something from that planet must be causing the interference. Hippo,Wizard. Go to that planet and find out what's up?
Hippo: Whatever you say,my Main Brain.
Meanwhile,The N-Team has just crash landed on Tetris,a square shaped world.
Kevin: Everyone alright?

Lana: Can we check it out?
Mayor: I'm afraid the tower is off limits to tourists. But,I know of a place that isn't. You round folks hungry? I know a great place for food and entertainment.
The trafic light turns green and they go. Inside a nearby sewer,King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard have heard everything.
Hippo: Ha! Did you hear that? A new source of Power!
Eggy: Mother Brain will be thrilled when we tell her about this. We must swipe that square.
Inside the Tetrad Tower,the Keeper is guarding the outside of the Sacred Square Chamber. The only way to enter the chamber is with the Sacred Key,an item that only the Keeper has.
His name is Lyle. He's a skiny and nerdy blonde dude,with a problem with grace. he wore glasses and a square outfit. The biggest thing about Lyle,was that he was a normal human and not a Tetris Person.
Lyle is sitting in a chair,bouncing a basketball against the wall. He fails and the ball smacks him in the head,knocking him back. His boss comes in.
Boss: (annoyed) If you're gonna be taken seriously as the Keeper,if you slack off like that.
Lyle: (getting up) Y-yes sir.
Boss: You're shift is done for the day. Time to go home.
Lyle and the boss walk to the exit,which can only be opened with the Sacred Key. Lyle sticks the key into a square slot next to it and the door opens. It closes the moment he takes it out. Lyke walks into the closed door,thinking that it was open. needless to say,it hurt him.
Lyle: That smarts!
Lyle opens it again and this time he leaves the key in for a few more seconds. The door stays open and Lyle goes through before it shuts.
Meanwhile,Mayor Squareski takes the N Team to a resturaunt called Cubies. The Team and the Mayor are infront of the establishment.
Mayor: Welcome to Cubies,home of the Squarest meals in the world.
As the N-Team walks in,a Bus arrives with Lyle stepping out. Unknown to all,Hippo and Eggy are watching,both disguised as Tetris Blocks.
Eggplant Wizard: That must be the Keeper of the Sacred Square. We need that Key.
Eggplant Wizard contacts Mother Brain via comunicator.
Eggplant Wizard: Calling,Mother Brain! come in,Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: I suspect you two have found that power source?
Hippo: Not yet.
Eggy: But we Did find out what it is. It was the Sacred Block of Tetris.
Mother Brain: (proudy) Good work. Now get me that Square! (serious,yelling) And Don't Blow it,Boobs!
The transmition ends.
Hippo: C'mon!. The nerd went inside that diner!
Inside of Cubies,the N-Team are sitting at a table, having sonething to eat. The food is square and rectangular.
Simon: They really need to lay off the blocky theme. Bet the food taste like bricks.
The band starts playing,Simon is forced into a dance with one of the locals. Kevin and Lana decide to dance too. The band playing is called The Blockheads,the hippest music group on Tetris. Lyle enter and sees Lana.
Lyle: (somewhat nervous) Oh no,Lana! I gotta get out of here!
Before he can leave,he is forced onto the dance floor by one of the locals. Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo are there dancing too,disgused as a couple. Lyle is a clutsy dancer as well. The Minions of Mother Brain manage to get Lyle's Key,but Lyle has a clutz attack and makes them drop it. Lyle soon slips and bumps into Lana,losing his glasses.
Lyle: (searching for his glasses on the floor) Sorry,my falt.
Lana recognises the voice.
Lana: Lyle? Is that you?
Pit finds Lyle's glasses and hands them to Lyle. Lyle puts his glassess back on,and stands up.
Lana: (happy to see him) It is you,Big Brother!
Kevin:Brother?
Lana: Everyone this is my Brother,Lyle.
Simon: (in disbelief) You mean this clutz is related to you? Unbelievable.
Lana: (to lyle) We haven't seen each other in 3 years,not since the war began.
Lyle: I hate war and violence,so I ran away to a Tetris,a planet of peace. Here,I'm the Keeper of the Sacred Square (reaches for his key and panics when it's not there) Oh,No! The Key!
Simon spots it on the floor.
Simon: Is that it?
Lyke: Yes,yes.
Just as Eggy and Hippo (on the floor) are about to grab the Key,Simon steps on Eggy's hand and picks it up. Simon gives the Key back to Lyle.
Lyle: (relieved) Thanks. Without this,the Tetrad Tower would be inaccessable. (to lana) So how is father?
Lana: (sadly) He was,er is, imprisoned in the Mirror World.
The news shocks Lyle and makes him upset.
Lyle: And I just ran away...when father needed me? You must think I'm such a coward and a loser? If only I had the capacity to lead and fight,I woudn't suck so much.
Kevin: Don't worry,Lyle. We'll shape you up.
A montage of The N Team tring to train Lyle as a fighter to boost his self-confidence. At first it fails. But it soon starts to work. Then,Lyle is fitted for Royal clothing.
A more confident Lyle,in his royal attire,walks up to Lana and kisses her hand.
Lyle: Prince Lyle at your Service,My Lady.
Hours later,at Lyle's appartment. Lyke is in his bedroom opening up a safe.
Lyle: Make yourselves at home,guys. I just gotta put the Key into the safe.
As Lyle leaves,Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo sneak in through the window and attempt to break the safe. Eggy tries a tomato bomb,but it fails.
Eggy: Oh,no. A dud!
Hippo: Yeah,Like you!
In the living room area,Lyle and the N-team are toasting King Charles and to the Peace
Lyle: (raises glass) To King Charles and Peace in Videoland!
The whole N-Team,sans Gameboy,raise their glasses.
Lyle: You know sis,now that I've regained my sences,I think it's time I joined you in ruling Videoland. We can be Co-rulers and and a great team. We'll bring this Universe to peace for sure.
Lana is taken back by this and doesn't know how to respond.
Lana: Well..um,I..
Lyle: I gotta go check on something,I'll leave you to think about this.
Lyle leaves.
Kevin: You're not seriously thinking about having him rule with you?
Lana: I don't think he can be an effective leader,maybe in time,but not today. And I don't think I have the patience to teach him.
Unknown to The team,Lyle overhears everything. Lyle is upset. But vows to prove himself.
Back inside Lyles,bedroom,After many failed attempts by the Eggplant wizard,Hippo punches the safe open.
Hippo: Now that's how it's done!
Eggy takes the key. Lyle catches them in the act.
Lyle: As Prince of Videoland,I demand you return that Key!
King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard laugh at the prince.
Hippo: Ha! And what'cha gonna do if we don't,wimp?
Lyle tries to stop them,but he fails and gets knocked into a fold away wall bed,which closes up. The N Team arrive,but they are too late.
Hippo: Ha! See ya,Suckers.
The henchmen step outside the window and fly away via Eggplant Wizard's Broccoli Copter.
Kevin: No! They escaped!
They hear Lyle within the wall. Simon unfolds the bed and Lyle pops out and lands on the bed.
Lyle: (depressed) Some Keeper,I turned out to be..too weak and pathetic to protect the Key from a couple of bafoonish baddies. I'm a failure!
Lana: That's not true Lyle,you just need time to develop your skills.
Kevin: We gotta get that Key back,,before Tetris is doomed. Gameboy,you stay here and guard Lyle.
Gameboy: Affermitive!
Kevin: Let's go,N-Team!
As the N-Team leaves,Lyle is still depressed.
Lyle: I'm hopeless!
Meanwhile,inside the Tetrad Tower,Mother Brain[with her minions] uses the Key to open up the chamber to the Sacred Square. The trio enter the chamber and Mother Brain steals the Sacred Square.
Mother Brain: With this,I will rule Videoland,once again!
As the villains make their escape,Tetris starts to fall apart,due to the Sacred Square being removed from it's resting place. The citizens feel the effects and panic.
Back at his apartment,Lyle is also starts feeling the effects and panics.
Lyle: The Sacred Square Has Been Moved! No!
Gameboy: Danger! Danger! Danger!
Lyle: (determined) I Won't fail this time! C'mon,Gameboy.
As Lyle and Gameboy leave to save the day,The N-Team has caught up to Mother Brain and her minions.
Kevin: Not so fast,Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Captain N! I'd love to stay and chat,but evil calls.
Mother Brain laughs evilly as she and her Minions escape. The chase is on,with the N-Team blasting falling 'Tetris' blocks along the way. Mother Brain traps the N-Team in a block tunnel,but Kevin manages to escape before it closed up.
Mother Brain and her minions find the Warp back to Metroid.
Mother Brain: There it is,The warp to Metroid! We're home free!
Lyle: Not so fast,Mother Brain!
The villains look up to see Lyle carying a big bucket and riding on Gameboy.
Lyle and Gameboy have come to the rescue. Lyle spills a black substance from the bucket over Mother Brain,causing her to cry out.
Mother Brain: (angrilly) You'll pay for that!
Kevin jumps down from a building and kicks the Square away from the evil Brain. Lyle catches it.
Mother Brain: (shouting angrilly) This Isn't The End!
The evil trio hightail it back to Metroid
Later on,after the Sacred Square has been returned,everyone is gathered at City hall. Mayor Squareski is about to honor the N-Team.
Mayor: In honor of your heroism,I Mayor Blockov Squareski,hereby declare this day,a Holiday,N-Team Appreciation Day!
Kevin: Ah,thanks,Mayor,but that's ok.
Lana: (to lyle) You really proved yourself a hero. I'm proud of you. I will be honored if you would join the N-Team.
Lyle: Because of the N-Team,I learned to conquer my insecurity. Thank you. As for your offer,I must decline. I'm needed here. Being the Keeper of Tetris' Sacred Square is a big job...a job that I'm proud to have.
The citizens of Tetris cheer and launch Lyle into the air.

Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 8: Gameboy!
It's been 6 months since the N-Team's attempt to rescue King Charles from the Mirror Warp. They failed and the Mirror Warp was destroyed. However,that didn't stop them from trying other methods to save the King.
High atop the Palace of Power, Princess Lana anxiously awaits the rescue of her father, King Charles, from the "Mirror Warp" to which Mother Brain banished him. The entire N Team is gathered in an observatory-type room. Kevin is seated in a chair.
Lana: Hurry, Kevin! The Universal Warp only opens once every 1,000 years,...and it's almost time!
Kevin: This is hurrying, Princess. I'm The Game Enforcer, remember?
A digital clock is counting down the seconds from 04:34. Kevin presses a button on the console.
Kevin: Okay,Mega Man,you're up.
Mega Man: Roger Captain N!
Mega Man reveals a key in his left index finger and opens the shutters. Then Mega Man pulls a lever.
Mega Man: Energizing Tractor Beam!
The tractor beam energizes. Lana is excited.
Lana: Finally,my father will be safely home again.
They receive a transmission from King Charles. The King appears on screen.
Lana: Father! When will you be back? I miss you so!
King Charles: I miss you too,Lana! But,I'm afraid I won't be coming home quite yet. There's room for only one in the Space Capsule,and I feel that it's best for Videoland that I send Gameboy in my place. Gameboy is a remarkable creature.
Lana: But Why?
King Charles: When Mother Brain destroyed my Wife and your Mother years ago,I tried to avenge her loss..but ultimately failed,as you can see. I was no match for Mother Brain then,and I'm no match for her now. It's best to send the special teammate instead. Do not worry,Gameboy will prove himself to be a great asset against Mother Brain. I will yet for a way to return to you someday. Take care,child.
The transmission ends. Lana is a bit sad.
Simon: Don't worry your loveliness,Me and this Gameboy fellow will defend Videoland. (smugly,to kevin) So that means we won't be needing you anymore, Captain N!.
Kevin disputes that.
Kevin: Not a chance,Belmont! Do we have your support on this,Princess?.
Lana is lost in thought,but quickly snaps out of it.
Lana: Oh, Yes...of course. At this point,we need all the help we can get.
On Metroid, Mother Brain has seen all of this through her monitor (via her micro spy bots).
Mother Brain: A new teammate,eh? Well,not If i get him first. King Hippo and the Eggplant Wizard,get the satellite.
Back at the Palace, the tractor beam locks onto the object in space. It's the satellite, but Hippo and Eggy arrive behind it in a ship.
Eggplant Wizard: Activating, claws.
Eggy presses a button to activate the ship's claws. Kevin flies the N Team's ship out of a warp, Simon sitting to his right.
Hippo: It's those N-Twerps!
Eggplant Wizard: Well,they're gonna wish they never been Corn!
Eggy laughs evilly as he starts shooting corn on the cob from a gun at Kevin and Simon. Kevin breaks off from the corn and flies behind Hippo and Eggy's ship. Simon fills up the back of the ship with corn on the cob. Then they fly back over to Hippo and Eggy. When Eggy tries firing the corn gun again, the corn in the back of their ship pops, flooding their cockpit with popcorn.
Eggplant: No Way!!!
The back of the ship explodes, sending them flying off,causing the 2 henchmen to scream.
Kevin: Call me corny, but, man, do I love this.
Kevin and Simon retrieve the satellite and head back to the Palace.
Back at the Palace, the N Team is gathered. Gameboy has been removed from the satellite.
Kevin: "Well, wadaya know? Gameboy's a Gameboy.
Simon: What's that supposed to mean?
Kevin: This thing looks like an oversized version of the Gameboy,a handheld gaming system,that i never got the chance to own.
Kevin loads Gameboy's "batteries", and Gameboy is activated.
Gameboy: I am Gameboy! I am Programmed to play games.
The N Team gasps in surprise.
Lana takes Gameboy to the room that she had prepared. Gameboy then drives a remote-controlled car into a wall, destroying it. Gameboy follows a model airplane through a warp. Pit Icarus flies through the warp, after him, and flies right back out. Gameboy flies out of the warp in a full-sized airplane, firing lasers at Pit Icarus. Mega Man, Kevin, and Simon walk into the kitchen, where Gameboy has plugged a blender, a toaster, and another appliance into himself. The toaster spits out a bunch of bread slices, and the blender spits orange liquid onto Mega Man, Kevin, and Simon. Gameboy presses his B button, a warp opens, and Gameboy goes through the warp. Simon, Kevin, and Mega Man follow him through the warp.
They exit the warp and find themselves on Burger Time. All three of them are suddenly wearing food costumes: Kevin's a hot dog, Simon's a scrambled egg, and Mega Man's a pickle.
Mega Man: "What kind of world is this?
Kevin: From the looks of these outfits, I'd say Burger Time.
Simon: Oh, yuck! I've got egg on my face.
Mega Man: At least you're not in a pickle.
Gameboy, dressed in an apron and chef's hat, waves at them and starts the game. He presses his Up button and rises up. Kevin presses his own Up button and goes after Gameboy.
Kevin: Okay, hotshot,...let's shake this joint.
Gameboy: Hotshot? Shake? Compliance!
Gameboy takes a shaker and shakes pepper onto Kevin. Gameboy gets away. Kevin sneezes and climbs up a ladder. Kevin gets behind Gameboy, and Simon gets in front of Gameboy. Kevin switches his Zapper to its new Freeze setting and fires at Gameboy's escape route, but ketchup comes out. Gameboy loses his traction and slides across the ketchup. Ketchup hits Simon.
Simon: Oh, no! I've been hit!
Kevin: "Chill out, Belmont! That's just ketchup!
Simon: Mmm, not bad. Got any mustard?
Gameboy: Request received and carried out!
Gameboy throws a bucket of mustard onto Simon's head. Kevin jumps down, laughs, and removes the bucket from Simon's head. Simon whips at Gameboy, but Gameboy gets out of the way, so Mega Man is caught in the whip instead. Mega Man falls, pulling Simon down with him onto a giant hamburger. The bun falls on top of them. Kevin asks if they're all right. Simon lifts the bun up, replies, and then lowers the bun again.
Kevin: Hey, are you guys all right?
Simon: Yeah. We're in Hamburger Heaven.
Back at the Palace of Power, Kevin takes out Gameboy's battery, and Gameboy shuts off.
Kevin: Well, I'm pullin' the plug on this joker until we decide what to do with him.
Simon: I know. Let's lock him up in a closet and throw away the key..
Pit Icarus and Mega Man agree.
Lana: I just don't understand how my father could've been so wrong about Gameboy. I wish I could talk to him.
Kevin: "Oh, no can do, Princess. The warp closed hours ago.
Lana: We have to try, Kevin.
Everyone except Duke leaves. Duke examines Gameboy closer. Duke licks Gameboy's screen, lies down in front of him, closes his eyes, and falls asleep.
On Metroid, Dr. Wiley walks over to Mother Brain with a schematic.
Dr.Wiley: According to this schematic,that your minions ripped from the satellite, Gameboy is the most sophisticated computer ever.
Mother Brain: I must have it! Hippo,Eggplant? go to the Palace of Power and get me Gameboy.
Dr. Wiley gives the schematic to King Hippo.
Dr. Wiley: You'll need this. Hippo takes the schematic and leaves through a warp with Eggy.
Eggy and Hippo fall out of the warp, arriving in the room in the Palace of Power that Gameboy are Duke are in. The warp closes. Their arrival has woken up Duke, who stands up and growls at them. Eggy and Hippo get to their feet and approach Gameboy. Duke won't let them pass.
Eggplant Wizard: Stupid mutt!
Eggy throws some dandelions on the floor. Duke sniffs them. The dandelions turn into a giant lion's head. Duke gets scared, turns, and runs out of the room. Hippo loads Gameboy's battery. Gameboy turns on.
Gameboy: Ready for disposal of defective unit.
Eggplant Wizard: Disposal?! No way! Her Ugliness wants to play some games with ya!
Gameboy: I am programmed to play games!
Gameboy, Eggy, and Hippo go through a warp that opens, but Hippo drops the schematic on the floor. The warp closes. Duke comes back into the room. The warp closes. Duke barks. Kevin comes into the room at the sound.
Kevin: Hey! Where's Gameboy? He's gone!
Kevin finds the schematic of Gameboy on the floor.
Kevin: What's this? better show the others.
He leaves to show the others.
On Metroid, Dr. Wiley fiddles with Gameboy's circuitry and hooks him up to a remote control. Gameboy turns on and starts to frown.
Mother Brain: With this thing at my command,I'll take back Videoland. The Universe is mine once again.
Mother Brain laughs evilly. Back at the Palace of Power, Lana is looking at the schematic.
Lana: This looks like Dr. Wiley's work.
Pit Icarus: Then Mother Brain must have Gameboy!
Simon: (nonchalantly) Oh, well, I guess that crisis is over. What's for lunch? Anything but hamburgers.
Lana: Simon! What are you saying?! We've got to get Gameboy back!
Simon: What? And risk my life for a hunk of microchips? No thank you!
Lana: Suit yourself. I'm going to Metroid, and anybody who cares to join me is welcome.
Kevin, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus go with her, leaving Simon at the Palace.
Back on Metroid, Dr. Wiley plugs Gameboy into Mother Brain's defense system. Gameboy's body becomes distorted.
Dr.Wiley: Let me introduce you to..Game Brain!
Game Boy has become the evil Game Brain.
Game Brain: Shall we play a game?
Mother Brain: "Oh, by all means. Now, let's see. What shall we play? Ah,How about (points to a monitor depicting the N-Team)...Destroy Them!?
Kevin, Lana, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Duke are going through the "outer levels of Metroid". They hear Mother Brain's laugh. A hologram of MB appears in front of them.
Lana: Mother Brain? What have you done with Gameboy?
Mother Brain: Why,I've improved him. Lemmie introduce you to..Game Brain!
Game Brain,as a hologram,appears. Game Brain creates Rio of his screen and sends them at the good guys. The good guys dodge, and Kevin zaps them.
Mother Brain: I'd advise you to turn back while they still can.
The holograms of herself and Game Brain disappear. One more Rio flies by, and Kevin barely dodges it. Simon comes by and whips it out of existence.
Lana: Simon! I was hoping you'd change your mind?
Simon: well,can't let Captain N have all of the fun.
Kevin: Let's split up,we4'll have a better chance of finding Gameboy. Here,Lana (gives his Zapper to Lana) You'd better take this.
Lana: I hope you know what you are doing,Kevin (takes the zapper) Good luck,everyone.
The five of them go into different tunnels, Duke going with Kevin.
Pit Icarus is flying along, and a monster crawls over to him. He gets out his bow and an arrow and shoots at it, covering it with a net. It shoots at Pit, Pit's wings are covered with sticky stuff, and Kid is suspended in mid-air.
Lana is hopping across platforms over a lake of lava outside. A dragon comes out of the lake and breathes fire at Lana. Lana dodges the fire, loses her balance, draws the Zapper, shoots the dragon out of existence, falls backwards, and manages to grab hold of the platform.
Simon is backed up against a wall. He whips two approaching baddies out of existence. Then the recurring, orange, humanoid, rhino guy (a klayde) warps up out of the floor, charges at Simon, and sticks his spear in the wall, barely missing Simon.
Kevin is sitting on the floor. A dragon (a lydlee,the bastardized version of ridley) is standing in front of him. The Lydlee breathes fire at him, and Kevin uses his Power Pad to get out of the way. The dragon approaches Kevin. Duke bites its tail. The dragon turns and breathes fire at Duke. Duke lets go of its tail, turns, and runs away. The dragon turns back to Kevin and reaches for him. Kevin presses the cross-key on his Power Pad and jumps out of the way. The dragon falls through a wall. A bunch of baddies slither over to Kevin. Kevin tries to jump out of the way using his Power Pad, but the baddies drag him down with their tentacles. Duke turns and runs away.
In Mother Brain's lair, MB is watching all of this on her mind mirror and is very happy.
Mother Brain: This is going nicely. It's only a matter of time before the N-Team bites the dust.
Suddenly, the door opens, and Duke runs into the lair. He pulls the plugs out of Game Brain.
Mother Brain: No! Stop him! Eggplant, Hippo, grab that stupid mutt! He's pulling the plug on my beautiful plan!
All of the monsters attacking Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Simon, and Kevin are suddenly destroyed.
Back in Mother Brain's lair, Hippo and Eggy chase after Duke. MB picks up Duke with one of her tentacles.
Mother Brain: I'm gonna make you suffer,fleabag!
Game Brain uses a lot of power, causing Metroid to shake. causing panic among Mother Brain's minions.
Dr. Wiley: He's going to overload.
Eggplant Wizard: Abandon Planetoid!
Eggy, Wily, and Hippo abandon Metroid by going into a warp.
Game Brain: Defective performance cannot be tolerated.
The ceiling starts to collapse.
Game Brain: Malfunction! Malfunction! Error! Error! Defective Program! Defective Program!
Suddenly,there's an explosion. Mother Brain lets go of Duke. When the smoke clears, Gameboy is standing there, just fine. He pulls the last plug out of himself and uses the cord to start MB spinning out of the lair.
Gameboy puts his right arm around Duke, and the two of them smile and watch MB leave. The rest of the N Team arrives in time to see this.
That night, at the Palace of Power, an important welcoming ceremony takes place. The N Team and Gameboy are gathered in the Throne room.
Lana: For saving us against Mother Brain. We welcome you to the N-Team,Gameboy.
Kevin pulls a large cap out of his jacket.
Kevin: I had this made especially for you,Gameboy.
He puts it on top of Gameboy. Simon lets Gameboy try out his mirror, pleasantly surprising Lana.
Lana: Why, Simon, how unselfish of you!
Simon: Well,It's all in the family!
Simon puts his left hand on Gameboy's back. Gameboy turns his cap around and everyone starts laughing.

Note: Yet another episode that I had no script for. In fact. I don't have scrips for a number of episodes. Thank god,I'm not doing every single one. Just 9 more to go. And this next one will me my toughest,since there is nothing I can work with but a small summery. Next time,we take you to the Blocky Planet of Tetris!
High atop the Palace of Power, Princess Lana anxiously awaits the rescue of her father, King Charles, from the "Mirror Warp" to which Mother Brain banished him. The entire N Team is gathered in an observatory-type room. Kevin is seated in a chair.

Simon whips at Gameboy, but Gameboy gets out of the way, so Mega Man is caught in the whip instead. Mega Man falls, pulling Simon down with him onto a giant hamburger. The bun falls on top of them. Kevin asks if they're all right. Simon lifts the bun up, replies, and then lowers the bun again.
Kevin: Hey, are you guys all right?
Simon: Yeah. We're in Hamburger Heaven.
Back at the Palace of Power, Kevin takes out Gameboy's battery, and Gameboy shuts off.
Kevin: Well, I'm pullin' the plug on this joker until we decide what to do with him.
Simon: I know. Let's lock him up in a closet and throw away the key..
Pit Icarus and Mega Man agree.
Lana: I just don't understand how my father could've been so wrong about Gameboy. I wish I could talk to him.
Kevin: "Oh, no can do, Princess. The warp closed hours ago.
Lana: We have to try, Kevin.
Everyone except Duke leaves. Duke examines Gameboy closer. Duke licks Gameboy's screen, lies down in front of him, closes his eyes, and falls asleep.
On Metroid, Dr. Wiley walks over to Mother Brain with a schematic.
Dr.Wiley: According to this schematic,that your minions ripped from the satellite, Gameboy is the most sophisticated computer ever.
Mother Brain: I must have it! Hippo,Eggplant? go to the Palace of Power and get me Gameboy.
Dr. Wiley gives the schematic to King Hippo.
Dr. Wiley: You'll need this. Hippo takes the schematic and leaves through a warp with Eggy.
Eggy and Hippo fall out of the warp, arriving in the room in the Palace of Power that Gameboy are Duke are in. The warp closes. Their arrival has woken up Duke, who stands up and growls at them. Eggy and Hippo get to their feet and approach Gameboy. Duke won't let them pass.
Eggplant Wizard: Stupid mutt!
Eggy throws some dandelions on the floor. Duke sniffs them. The dandelions turn into a giant lion's head. Duke gets scared, turns, and runs out of the room. Hippo loads Gameboy's battery. Gameboy turns on.
Gameboy: Ready for disposal of defective unit.
Eggplant Wizard: Disposal?! No way! Her Ugliness wants to play some games with ya!
Gameboy: I am programmed to play games!
Gameboy, Eggy, and Hippo go through a warp that opens, but Hippo drops the schematic on the floor. The warp closes. Duke comes back into the room. The warp closes. Duke barks. Kevin comes into the room at the sound.
Kevin: Hey! Where's Gameboy? He's gone!
Kevin finds the schematic of Gameboy on the floor.
Kevin: What's this? better show the others.
He leaves to show the others.
On Metroid, Dr. Wiley fiddles with Gameboy's circuitry and hooks him up to a remote control. Gameboy turns on and starts to frown.
Mother Brain: With this thing at my command,I'll take back Videoland. The Universe is mine once again.
Mother Brain laughs evilly. Back at the Palace of Power, Lana is looking at the schematic.
Lana: This looks like Dr. Wiley's work.
Pit Icarus: Then Mother Brain must have Gameboy!
Simon: (nonchalantly) Oh, well, I guess that crisis is over. What's for lunch? Anything but hamburgers.
Lana: Simon! What are you saying?! We've got to get Gameboy back!
Simon: What? And risk my life for a hunk of microchips? No thank you!
Lana: Suit yourself. I'm going to Metroid, and anybody who cares to join me is welcome.
Kevin, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus go with her, leaving Simon at the Palace.
Back on Metroid, Dr. Wiley plugs Gameboy into Mother Brain's defense system. Gameboy's body becomes distorted.
Dr.Wiley: Let me introduce you to..Game Brain!
Game Boy has become the evil Game Brain.
Game Brain: Shall we play a game?
Mother Brain: "Oh, by all means. Now, let's see. What shall we play? Ah,How about (points to a monitor depicting the N-Team)...Destroy Them!?
Kevin, Lana, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Duke are going through the "outer levels of Metroid". They hear Mother Brain's laugh. A hologram of MB appears in front of them.
Lana: Mother Brain? What have you done with Gameboy?
Mother Brain: Why,I've improved him. Lemmie introduce you to..Game Brain!
Game Brain,as a hologram,appears. Game Brain creates Rio of his screen and sends them at the good guys. The good guys dodge, and Kevin zaps them.
Mother Brain: I'd advise you to turn back while they still can.
The holograms of herself and Game Brain disappear. One more Rio flies by, and Kevin barely dodges it. Simon comes by and whips it out of existence.
Lana: Simon! I was hoping you'd change your mind?
Simon: well,can't let Captain N have all of the fun.
Kevin: Let's split up,we4'll have a better chance of finding Gameboy. Here,Lana (gives his Zapper to Lana) You'd better take this.
Lana: I hope you know what you are doing,Kevin (takes the zapper) Good luck,everyone.
The five of them go into different tunnels, Duke going with Kevin.
Pit Icarus is flying along, and a monster crawls over to him. He gets out his bow and an arrow and shoots at it, covering it with a net. It shoots at Pit, Pit's wings are covered with sticky stuff, and Kid is suspended in mid-air.
Lana is hopping across platforms over a lake of lava outside. A dragon comes out of the lake and breathes fire at Lana. Lana dodges the fire, loses her balance, draws the Zapper, shoots the dragon out of existence, falls backwards, and manages to grab hold of the platform.
Simon is backed up against a wall. He whips two approaching baddies out of existence. Then the recurring, orange, humanoid, rhino guy (a klayde) warps up out of the floor, charges at Simon, and sticks his spear in the wall, barely missing Simon.
Kevin is sitting on the floor. A dragon (a lydlee,the bastardized version of ridley) is standing in front of him. The Lydlee breathes fire at him, and Kevin uses his Power Pad to get out of the way. The dragon approaches Kevin. Duke bites its tail. The dragon turns and breathes fire at Duke. Duke lets go of its tail, turns, and runs away. The dragon turns back to Kevin and reaches for him. Kevin presses the cross-key on his Power Pad and jumps out of the way. The dragon falls through a wall. A bunch of baddies slither over to Kevin. Kevin tries to jump out of the way using his Power Pad, but the baddies drag him down with their tentacles. Duke turns and runs away.
In Mother Brain's lair, MB is watching all of this on her mind mirror and is very happy.
Mother Brain: This is going nicely. It's only a matter of time before the N-Team bites the dust.
Suddenly, the door opens, and Duke runs into the lair. He pulls the plugs out of Game Brain.
Mother Brain: No! Stop him! Eggplant, Hippo, grab that stupid mutt! He's pulling the plug on my beautiful plan!
All of the monsters attacking Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Simon, and Kevin are suddenly destroyed.
Back in Mother Brain's lair, Hippo and Eggy chase after Duke. MB picks up Duke with one of her tentacles.
Mother Brain: I'm gonna make you suffer,fleabag!
Game Brain uses a lot of power, causing Metroid to shake. causing panic among Mother Brain's minions.
Dr. Wiley: He's going to overload.
Eggplant Wizard: Abandon Planetoid!
Eggy, Wily, and Hippo abandon Metroid by going into a warp.
Game Brain: Defective performance cannot be tolerated.
The ceiling starts to collapse.
Game Brain: Malfunction! Malfunction! Error! Error! Defective Program! Defective Program!
Suddenly,there's an explosion. Mother Brain lets go of Duke. When the smoke clears, Gameboy is standing there, just fine. He pulls the last plug out of himself and uses the cord to start MB spinning out of the lair.
Gameboy puts his right arm around Duke, and the two of them smile and watch MB leave. The rest of the N Team arrives in time to see this.
That night, at the Palace of Power, an important welcoming ceremony takes place. The N Team and Gameboy are gathered in the Throne room.
Lana: For saving us against Mother Brain. We welcome you to the N-Team,Gameboy.
Kevin pulls a large cap out of his jacket.
Kevin: I had this made especially for you,Gameboy.
He puts it on top of Gameboy. Simon lets Gameboy try out his mirror, pleasantly surprising Lana.
Lana: Why, Simon, how unselfish of you!
Simon: Well,It's all in the family!
Simon puts his left hand on Gameboy's back. Gameboy turns his cap around and everyone starts laughing.

Note: Yet another episode that I had no script for. In fact. I don't have scrips for a number of episodes. Thank god,I'm not doing every single one. Just 9 more to go. And this next one will me my toughest,since there is nothing I can work with but a small summery. Next time,we take you to the Blocky Planet of Tetris!
Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 7: In Seach of the King!
One week following the Mother Brain's very brief return to power,the
Evil brain and her minions have decided to take a few months off to
rejuvenate,after almost a full year of non-stop evil deeds.
With Mother Brain on her long hiatus,peace has been temporarily restored to Videoland. But,even without Mother Brain,The N-Team's adventures will always continue.
It's nighttime at the Palace of Power. Lana is sitting in her chair by her table in her bedroom, talking to a picture of her father, the King.
Lana: Oh, it's been another long day,but for now,all is safe in Videoland. If you should ever return, I hope it will be to a world of peace. But until then, good night, father, wherever you are. I love you.
She then kisses it.
Voice: Daughter!
Lana hears the voice, and the image of her father appears in her mirror.
The King: my sweet Lana,Mother Brain had banished me to the Mirror Warp,a Universe on the other side of your mirror, where all things are opposite. Go to the Rainbow Forest on Excalibur. At the end of the rainbow, you shall find the Mirror Warp. Step through it, and you'll find me.
Then the image disappears. Lana goes to Kevin and Simon's bedroom.
Lana: Up an at'em guys,we have a mission. Hurry and get dressed.
The guys are awakened.
Simon: The worst part about being a handsome hunk of hero is having to get up early to save the day.
Later,The entire N Team meets in a giant computer room.
Lana: Mega Man,Pit you two stay behind and look after the Palace.
Kevin: Don't get your hopes up too high,Princess,because, the last time we thought we found the King, it was just a trick by Mother Brain.
Lana: It's different this time,I can feel it in her heart.
Lana, Kevin, Simon, and Duke step through a warp.
On Excalibur,the heroes exit the warp.
Kevin: Let's split up,we'll have a better chance of finding the warp.
Lana: Whoever finds the warp first can signal the others.
The four of them split up and go in different directions - north, south, west, and east - to reach the end of the rainbow faster. Meanwhile, a mysterious, white-bearded figure in a cloak and hood watches them from behind a tree.
Simon passes a sign marked "THE END OF THE RAINBOW". He then meets the mysterious figure.
Simon: Excuse me,I'm looking for the Warp To The Mirror World,have you seen it?
Mysterious figure: Why,It's over there,my boy!
He points Simon to the warp.
Simon then takes the man's hood off. The man looks and sounds exactly like the King.
Simon: Hmm,don't I know you from someplace? I know I've seen you before.
King Look-a-like: I'm just a wanderer.
The man walks away. Simon pulls a trumpet out of his backpack and signals the others.
When the others arrive, Lana, Duke, Simon, and Kevin run through the warp. After coming out,They slide down a rainbow. They walk down a staircase and find the Mirror Warp.
Kevin: This is it,the Mirror Warp.
Lana: We're one step closer to rescuing my father.
Their reflections make faces at them when they're not looking. Only Duke notices and gets scared.
The King look-alike watches them.
The King look-alike: (quietly) C'mon,go through the warp already.
Kevin: It's now or never! On the count of 3,we make the jump.
The others nod and get ready.
Kevin: One..Two..Three!!!
They jump through the warp, but then their devilish reflections leap into Videoland.
Mirror Kevin: Finally!
Mirror Lana: (wicked smile) With our Goody-Goody doubles trapped in the Mirror Universe,we're free to take over this one!
The King look-alike,now known as the mirror King,appears.
Mirror King: The Universe is ours! But first,we have to go back to the Palace and have an evil celebration.
Mirror King and the Mirror N-Team laugh evilly.
Meanwhile,Within the Mirror Warp...
The N Team members arrive in the Mirror Warp.
Kevin: Time to start the search.
They start looking for the King. Lana leans over to pet a rabbit, but it growls and bares its teeth at her. It hops away, knocking Lana on her butt. Kevin and Simon help Lana to her feet.
Kevin: You ok,Princess?
Lana: I think so. That was unexpected.
Simon then spots a werewolf and whips at it. It tackles him to the ground and then licks him.
Simon: Ugh! Werewolf breath!!
It then leaves.
Kevin: Everything is opposite here,like the King said.
Duke barks. Lana spots a castle.
Lana: Look,a castle,I bet that's where my father is.
Kevin: No Lana,since everything is opposite here,my guess is that you're father is in that nearby poor village.
In the village,they come to a woman hanging dirty laundry.
Lana: Excuse me,but can you help us find the King of Videoland?
Lady: Yeah,he lives in the Tree hut at the end of the Village.
Lana: Thank you.
The N Team members go to the tree hut at the end of the village, and they find Lana's father,King Charles.
King Charles: (surprised,happy) Lana? is that you?
Lana: (on the verge of joyus tears)Oh Father! It is You!
Lana and the King hug.
King Charles: What are you doing here,child?
Lana: We came to rescue you,of course. You told me where you were.
King Charles: I'm afraid you were tricked. When Mother Brain banished me to this warp, my Evil Mirror Image Opposite stepped into our Universe.
Kevin: So the King who talked to Lana,was that Evil Mirror King.
King Charles: Indeed. And with you all here,your evil dopplegangers are free to cause havoc in our Videoland. And unfortunately,you can't go back home unless your opposites step back through the Mirror Warp.
Meanwhile, at the Palace of Power, Mega Man and Pit Icarus are sitting in front of the viewscreen in the same room from "The Most Dangerous Game Master".
Mega Man: It's been 5 hours and no word from the others. I'm getting worried.
Suddenly,The opposites arrive,unknown to Mega and Pit,who confused them with their friends.
Pit: You're back! And you saved the king!
Mirror Lana: Mega Man,Pit Icarus to show His Majesty a royal welcome.
Mega Man: We'll prepare an awesome feast.
Later,after Mega Man and Pit Icarus prepare a large meal. They all sit at a long table. Pigging out and goofing off from the Mirror villains ensues.
Mega Man: Uh, I guess, now that you're back, Your Majesty, you'll be showing all of Videoland's villains who's the boss.
Mirror King: I'll do better than that. I'll invite them all to the party!
This statement shocks Pit and Mega Man.
Mirror Simon greets the villains (all from CastleVania) as they come through the warp. The opposites then dance with each other and with the villains. Mega Man and Pit Icarus have to roll a red carpet wherever the Mirror King dances.
The next morning, in "the strange Mirror World", before sunrise, Lana and her father are sitting outside the hut, talking.
King Charles: That Captain N is quite the hero.
Lana: Yes. I don't know what we would do without him. He's done such a good job as Game Enforcer.
King Charles: So I take it,that Mother Brain's hold on Videoland is now over?
Lana: Yes. Ever since Kevin showed up,we've managed liberate Videoland and beat back all attempts by Mother Brain to retake it. With Kevin,our Team is awesome.
King Charles: I'm surprised Samus isn't on the team
Lana: She's too busy with Bounty Hunting,you know how she is.
They have probably been up all night. Simon walks by, carrying some eggs, falls over, and gets his face covered with eggs.
Simon: Ugh! Breakfast is...ruined!
Kevin then comes by.
Kevin: Ok guys I have an Idea! We might be able to call Mega Man and Pit through one of the Palace's mirrors by using Simon's mirror. Simon walks by again, falls again, and gets his face covered with eggs again. Duke licks the eggs off of Simon's face.
Simon: Stop it! Simon Belmont is a respectable hero, not a dog's breakfast.
Kevin and Lana help Simon to his feet. Lana takes Simon's mirror out of his coat. Kevin takes the mirror, looks into it.
Kevin: (talking at mirror): Mega Man,Pit,can you hear me? .
At the Palace, Mega Man and Pit Icarus are in an empty room.
Mega Man: Our friends are acting weird.
Pit: I wonder what happened caused them to act this Nasty.
Kevin's voice: Pit,Mega Man, can you hear me?
Pit: It's Kevin!
Kevin's image appears in a tall mirror. Surprising them.
Mega Man: Captain N?!! is this a trick?!
Kevin: No trick,guys. When we entered the Mirror Warp,our evil Mirror doppelgangers escaped and the only way we can leave this Universe,is to put them back into the Mirror Warp.
Mega Man: Shh! I hear someone coming.
Mirror Simon walks into the room,
Mirror Simon: And what are you two doing back here?
Pit Icarus, who's flying above Mega Man, faces the mirror and pretends to comb his hair. Kevin does the same thing.
Pit: Just combing my hair!
Mirror Simon: Give it up, Pit. No one is as handsome as Simon Belmont.
Mirror Simon leaves the room.
Kevin: I need you 2 to bring those phoney N Team dudes to the Mirror Warp
Kevin's image disappears. Mega Man and Pit Icarus go into the other room.
Mega Man: The party's over, you Nasty Team. We know all about you.
Mirror King: Well, if you know all about us, then you know we're going to...get you. Get them!
Mega Man opens a vacuum warp to the Garbage World. All of the CastleVania villains are pulled into it and end up in the Garbage World.
Mirror King: Drop your bow,Pit Icarus. your King Commands it!
Pit drops the bow and Mega Man catches it. He fires a rope arrow at the opposites and ties them up.
Meanwhile, back in "the Mirror World", Kevin, Duke, Lana, Simon, and the King await the arrival of "their devilish counterparts".
Kevin: Hopefully,Pit and Mega Man managed to capture our doubles.
Voice: Prepare to be Destroyed!!!
The N-Team and King turn around to see Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Pit arriving.
Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Pit Icarus attacks them.
Kevin: Man! I forgot about those two!
Kevin and Simon fight them.
Mega Man and Pit Icarus return Mirror King, Mirror Kevin, Mirror Duke,Mirror Lana, and Mirror Simon to the Mirror Warp. The opposites break free of the ropes and catch the heroes,causing them to cry out. They prepare to toss Mega Man and Pit Icarus through the warp.
Mirror King: With these two trapped within the Warp,Our Pit and Mega Man will be able to join us and then we'll be a complete team.
Mirror Mega Man: Our King is here! Get ready to make the switch.
Kevin: (cries) No!
Mirror Kid Icarus fires an elastic arrow through the Mirror Warp at Mega Man and Pit,but they manage to escape the villains and The elastic band surrounds Mirror King, Mirror Kevin, Mirror Lana, Mirror Simon, and Mirror Duke instead.
Simon whips Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Kid Icarus away from the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Lana, Simon, Duke, and the King run towards the Mirror Warp. Mirror Lana gets free of the elastic band by grabbing hold of the rainbow that appears next to her. Lana falls. Mirror Kevin, Mirror Simon, Mirror King, and Mirror Duke are pulled into the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Simon, the King, and Duke run into the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Simon, the King, and Duke arrive back in Videoland. Mirror Kevin, Mirror Simon, Mirror King, and Mirror Duke arrive back in the Mirror Warp.
Kevin sees Lana pressing her hands against the Mirror Warp.
Kevin: (cries out) Lana,No!!! She didn't make it out. We have to get that Mirror Lana back into the warp.
Mirror Lana: (backing away) No way,dudes! .
Lana walks over to the Mirror Warp and presses her hands against it.
Lana: At least you're safe, father. It's best for Videoland this way.
King Charles: No. I can't let you do this for me.
Mirror King puts her left arm around Lana and pulls her away from the Mirror Warp, choking her. The King grabs Mirror Lana and puts her into the Mirror Warp. Mirror Lana pulls the King into the Mirror Warp with her. Lana arrives back in Videoland. The King, Mirror King, and Mirror Lana arrive back in the Mirror Warp. Lightning flashes. Thunder crashes.
Mirror King: You Fool!!
The Mirror Warp shatters and is destroyed. A saddened Lana picks up a piece of the Mirror Warp and talks with her father for a while.
Lana: Oh, no! Father, why?!
King Charles: It's better this way, Lana. You have a long life ahead of you, and Kevin is doing a fine job defending the Universe.
Lana: But I'll never see you again!
King Charles: Never say never, my child. If there is another way out, I'll find it. Good-bye, my little princess!
His image disappears. Lana kisses the Mirror Warp fragment, it shatters in her hands
Lana: Good-bye, father!
Kevin: Your father's a strong man, Princess. He'll be okay.
Lana: Guess I should look on the bright side, huh, Kevin? At least I got to spend a day with him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I had No script or pictures to go by,so I just modded a summery found on Mark Moore's site.
I think this came out okay though. So anyway,that does it for the "Season 1" episodes. now it's on to the adventures from Season 2.
With Mother Brain on her long hiatus,peace has been temporarily restored to Videoland. But,even without Mother Brain,The N-Team's adventures will always continue.
It's nighttime at the Palace of Power. Lana is sitting in her chair by her table in her bedroom, talking to a picture of her father, the King.

Meanwhile, back in "the Mirror World", Kevin, Duke, Lana, Simon, and the King await the arrival of "their devilish counterparts".
Kevin: Hopefully,Pit and Mega Man managed to capture our doubles.
Voice: Prepare to be Destroyed!!!
The N-Team and King turn around to see Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Pit arriving.
Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Pit Icarus attacks them.
Kevin: Man! I forgot about those two!
Kevin and Simon fight them.
Mega Man and Pit Icarus return Mirror King, Mirror Kevin, Mirror Duke,Mirror Lana, and Mirror Simon to the Mirror Warp. The opposites break free of the ropes and catch the heroes,causing them to cry out. They prepare to toss Mega Man and Pit Icarus through the warp.
Mirror King: With these two trapped within the Warp,Our Pit and Mega Man will be able to join us and then we'll be a complete team.
Mirror Mega Man: Our King is here! Get ready to make the switch.
Kevin: (cries) No!
Mirror Kid Icarus fires an elastic arrow through the Mirror Warp at Mega Man and Pit,but they manage to escape the villains and The elastic band surrounds Mirror King, Mirror Kevin, Mirror Lana, Mirror Simon, and Mirror Duke instead.
Simon whips Mirror Mega Man and Mirror Kid Icarus away from the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Lana, Simon, Duke, and the King run towards the Mirror Warp. Mirror Lana gets free of the elastic band by grabbing hold of the rainbow that appears next to her. Lana falls. Mirror Kevin, Mirror Simon, Mirror King, and Mirror Duke are pulled into the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Simon, the King, and Duke run into the Mirror Warp. Kevin, Simon, the King, and Duke arrive back in Videoland. Mirror Kevin, Mirror Simon, Mirror King, and Mirror Duke arrive back in the Mirror Warp.
Kevin sees Lana pressing her hands against the Mirror Warp.
Kevin: (cries out) Lana,No!!! She didn't make it out. We have to get that Mirror Lana back into the warp.
Mirror Lana: (backing away) No way,dudes! .
Lana walks over to the Mirror Warp and presses her hands against it.
Lana: At least you're safe, father. It's best for Videoland this way.
King Charles: No. I can't let you do this for me.
Mirror King puts her left arm around Lana and pulls her away from the Mirror Warp, choking her. The King grabs Mirror Lana and puts her into the Mirror Warp. Mirror Lana pulls the King into the Mirror Warp with her. Lana arrives back in Videoland. The King, Mirror King, and Mirror Lana arrive back in the Mirror Warp. Lightning flashes. Thunder crashes.
Mirror King: You Fool!!
The Mirror Warp shatters and is destroyed. A saddened Lana picks up a piece of the Mirror Warp and talks with her father for a while.
Lana: Oh, no! Father, why?!
King Charles: It's better this way, Lana. You have a long life ahead of you, and Kevin is doing a fine job defending the Universe.
Lana: But I'll never see you again!
King Charles: Never say never, my child. If there is another way out, I'll find it. Good-bye, my little princess!
His image disappears. Lana kisses the Mirror Warp fragment, it shatters in her hands
Lana: Good-bye, father!
Kevin: Your father's a strong man, Princess. He'll be okay.
Lana: Guess I should look on the bright side, huh, Kevin? At least I got to spend a day with him.

Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 6: Metroid Sweet Metroid!
The morning was bright at the tall Palace of Power. Within this
building, Simon Belmont was wearing a light blue overcoat with a blue
tie and a dark red cap. In his left hand, he held a small paint can
with white paint, and in his right an artist’s paint brush.
Simon: The art of good painting is all in the wrist.
Princess Lana stood before him with a paint roller that had a long handle. Behind her was what was to be painted, a blue wall.
Lana: Thanks for the advice, Simon,but we’re painting a wall, not a making art.
Simon: Regardless,an artist has patience!
As he spoke, Simon appeared to be dabbing little bits of paint onto the wall. Of course, this method would take forever.
Kevin: Maybe (holds a paint roller with a short handle) but a good house painter has a roller.
As the Game Enforcer spoke, Kid Icarus flew up beside the wall and delivered a vertical strip of paint to the wall swiftly with his own roller. After Kevin had finished speaking, Duke barked twice, picked up a can of paint by the handle, and brought it over to Kevin.
Kevin: Thanks, Duke.
Kevin bent down and picked up the paint can.
Kevin: It’s time for some rockin’ and rollin’.
He swung the bucket upwards, and some of the paint came up and out and splashed onto the wall. Kevin then used his Power Pad to jump up to the glob of paint. Using his Power Pad, he flew all over the wall, and with his roller, he distributed the paint in all directions until the wall was covered. Lana, Kid Icarus, and Simon all watched as he did this. He then landed beside Duke and the paint can and picked up the can again.
Kevin: Now let's do the other parts.
He splashed more paint onto the wall, and he distributed it again as he had done before. When Kevin had finished, Duke, who was holding the paint can in his teeth by the handle, walked over and sat down near Simon.
Pit: That was terrific,Kev!”
Kevin landed.
Simon: (disdainfully) It may be fast, but where’s the joy of savoring each brushstroke and drop of paint?
Duke turned around 180 degrees. However, Simon stepped backwards carelessly, and his heel came down on the dog’s tail. Surprised, the dog yapped and accidentally flung the paint can upwards. As it flew in the air, the paint can spun from right-side up to upside down a few times, and when it came down on Simon’s head, it was upside down, and it dumped paint all over his head.
Kevkn: I see what you mean about savoring every drop of paint, Simon.
Simon: (unamused)Very funny!
Suddenly, Mega Man called from the throne room, which was adjacent to this hallway they were in. “
Mega Man: Your Highness, come quickly!
The android said urgently at the doorway.
Mega Man: I’ve picked up something amazing on the satellite monitor!
As he ran back into the throne room, everyone else followed. At the end was Simon, who was trying to get the paint can off his head.
At first, the monitor showed a small brown world that appeared to be split into two parts. Mega Man zoomed in once on the part on the left, which had some crater that had a yellow glow inside. He zoomed in even more, and a hilly surface covered with beautiful flowers appeared.
Lana: What’s the big deal? It’s just an abandoned world filled with beautiful flowers.
Mega Man: Not just any flowers, Your Highness,Power flowers. Here. Let me run the tape back for you.
He turned and aimed the remote control at the monitor and started playback.
When the tape began running, a blue warp was shown in the flower field, and a giant ruddy four-legged robot jumped through the warp. On top of its back was a control room, occupied by King Hippo and, to Hippo’s left, Eggplant Wizard. King Hippo appeared to be controlling the mechanical beast’s movements. When the robot landed, it turned around.
Eggy: We’ve got to hurry King Hippo,Metroid is running out of power.
The robot stopped and began ‘eating’ the flowers. As it did so, the two creeps laughed maniacally.
Eggy: And without these special power flowers, Mother Brain is powerless!
Hippo: Yeah,and this is the only planet in Videoland where these flowers grow.
Then the monitor turned off.
Lana: Do you realize what this means?
Kevin: Yeah! If we can destroy those flowers, Mother Brain will be too weak to do much of anything!
Mega Man: We’ve got to hurry if we’re going to get there before King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard finish loading the flowers,
The N Team left and boarded the white Warp Wagon. It was a sleek flying vehicle with a red N on the hood. It had no roof. Kevin sat in the left-hand pilot’s seat and Lana sat to his right. In the back seat, Simon, Duke, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus were seated from right to left. All had buckled their safety belts.
Kevjn: Better buckle up, dudes,(held up his right thumb). I don’t have my driver’s license yet!
Of course, he was just saying this to scare them. He figured they probably didn’t have driver’s ed in Videoland, but he had taken that already in California and passed with flying colors. Of course, he had never piloted for real before. . .
Simon (leaping half out of his seat): You what!!!?”
Simon demanded, leaping half out of his seat. Kevin took off with fast acceleration, and Simon was nearly forced backwards out of his seat because he wasn’t hanging on. he cried as Kevin climbed up to the warp to the flower world. He was alarmed by Kevin’s speed and maneuvering, but Kevin was simply new to the accelerator and steering wheel of a flying vehicle, and it would take him a little while to adapt to these.
Simon: He’s going to smash us i to the wall!!!”
However, Kevin steered them directly into the warp. In the flower world, the giant robot was still eating up flowers.
Hippo: Ok,We’re almost full.
Eggplant Wizard: Good,Mother Brain will be running out of power any minute now.
Suddenly, up in the air, a blue warp from the Palace of Power opened, and the Warp Wagon came through it. Kevin steered it downwards in search of the two flower pilferers. Though Kevin seemed to be piloting just fine now, Simon appeared scared. Lana spots the 2 lackies and points down to her right for Kevin.
Kevin: There they are!”
Kevin steered down to them.
King Hippo looked up and saw the heroes.
Hoppo: It’s the N Team! You know what to do.
Egplant Wizard: Right,Activating Strawberry Jammers!
He pressed the red button marked ‘Strawberry Jammers’, and a cannon popped out of the left side of the robot. It fired a huge glob of strawberry jam that covered the hood of the Warp Wagon.
Attempting to take control of the situation, Simon got up.
Simon: (heroicly) I’ll take the controls now!
Kevin didn’t want to argue, so he moved to his left, and Simon leaned over the back of the benchlike front seat and took the wheel. However, the wheel wouldn’t move much.
Simon: The controls are. . .
Suddenly, a squirt of strawberry jam came through the control panel and coated his face.
Simon (amused) Hm. Jammed!
Lana smiled.
Suddenly, the giant robot leapt into the air towards the Warp Wagon.
Eggplant Wizard: Now, I’ll get ’em with my peanut butter blasters,(operating some controls) and they’ll be peanut butter and jam! Hoo, hoo, hoo!
A cannon popped out of the back of the robot in front of the control center. On the side of this cannon were the words ‘Big Jif’. This cannon fired globs of peanut butter at the N Team.
One glob hit the Warp Wagon dead on.
Mega Man: We’re doomed!!!
Kevin: Not yet!
He moved his right hand to his Power Pad and hit his pause button. Time froze on everything except for him.
Kevin: This better work.
He unfastened his safety belt, hopped out, and crossed several globs of peanut butter to a large one aimed directly at the Warp Wagon. He turned this large one around, pointing it back at the robot of Mother Brain’s stooges. Then, he leaped back into his seat in the Warp Wagon. He was prepared for the pause to end, and when it did, he brought the wagon back upwards. However, Eggy and Hippo screamed when they saw the big glob of peanut butter heading back at them! Eggy grabbed onto his partner in crime and popped out potatoes, turnips, cauliflower, tomatoes, and a cucumber. When the peanut butter hit the robot, the two ejected from the robot. While the robot spiraled to the ground and crashed, Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo were safely descending to the ground in parachutes.
Meanwhile, all the N Teamsters were happy, except for Simon.
Mega Man: (happily)He did it!!
Mega Man popped up and rubbing Kevin’s head with his left hand.
Pit: Way to go, Kevin!
Pit Icarus put his right hand on Kevin’s left shoulder. Kevin looked back over his left shoulder at the archer. Lana turned and smiled at Kevin.
Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo landed on the ground uncertainly, and they got all entangled in their parachutes. The two scrambled to get out from underneath their chutes.
Eggy: Wah! Watch where you’re stepping! That’s my eye!
Hippo: Hey!” Hippo Get your knee out of my belly button!
Side by side and belly down on the ground, they simultaneously lifted King Hippo’s chute over their heads, and looked up to see tennis shoes, then blue jeans, and then the barrel of a Zapper aimed straight at them.
Eggplant Wizard cried, getting up. Tears were popping out of his eye.
Eggplant Wizard: Please,Don’t shoot!
He pulled out a photo and showed it to Kevin, and it showed a red eggplant in a blue robe. Her left hand was on the left shoulder of an eggplant kid with lavender skin, a bandage on the left side of its body, and a toy sword in its right hand. Her right hand was on the right shoulder of an eggplant kid with skin close to Eggplant Wizard’s color. This one held a doll in its right hand and what appeared to be a red fish in its left hand.
Eggy: I have a wife and two baby eggplants at home!
By now, King Hippo was standing to his friend’s left.
Kevin: (shrugged) Don’t worry. I’m not going to fry any eggplant. Just flowers!
The two lackeys watched in shock as Kevin moved his Zapper to the purported power flowers spilling out of the wrecked robot and blew the flowers and the robot away with one single laser blast. When the robot’s explosion was over and Eggy and Hippo had ceased shielding their eyes from the glare, Kevin finished:
Kevin: Now, run back home and tell your Mother Inferior that she just ran out of power. . . permanently!!
Suddenly, the ground began quaking loudly.
Pit: Woah,what’s that noise!
Mega Man: It’s the power flowers!!! This planet is about to blow up!
Kevin looked to his right and saw a volcano blow its top.
King Hippo: Abandon Planet!!!!!
Eggplant Wizard: Women and eggplants first!
Eggplant and Hippo ran to the warp to Metroid.
Lana: Kevin,Hurry!
Lana called as Kevin was holstering his Zapper,Kevin pressed a button on his Power Pad with his left index finger and jumped back into his seat in the wagon.
Kevin: Hang on
Kevin prepares to take off. He lifted the wagon off the ground. Just then, Eggy and Hippo dove screaming into the warp to Metroid. Just after they were through, the warp closed, and the ground beneath the warp began blowing up.
Mother Brain:No!!!!”
Mother Brain screamed just as her monitor deactivated.
Mother Brain: My precious power flowers!!
Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo slid in on their bellies through a warp that was in a hole in the wall. They were halfway across the room before they stopped sliding. She turned to them.
Mother Brain: You fools!! You’ve ruined everything!!!
They got up.
King Hippo: (surprised) But I thought. . .
Suddenly, Eggplant slapped his left hand over Hippo’s mouth.
Egplant Wizard: Shut up,before you get us in real trouble!
As Mother Brain was scowling at her lackeys, the image of Lana appeared in the viewscreen.
Lana: It’s too late, Mother Brain.
Mother Brain turned in horror back to the monitor.
Lana: Without your power flowers, you’re through threatening Videoland!
Kevin and Mega Man, who were both naturally in the shot, just smiled at the brain. But as Lana spoke, Simon’s face appeared in the upper left of the monitor, and he stuck out his tongue and waved his hands with the thumbs against either side of his head.
Mother Brain: (in horror) You don’t understand! I must have power!
The lights in her lair began to flicker. “I must!”
Her face contorted, her right eye wide open and her left shut, and her mouth wider than ever. Her face contorted again, both eyes huge and open, her pupils tiny, her left eye a few inches above her right, and her mouth huge. Exhausted, she took a weak look as the lights went out slowly and for good. Metroid faded away to black nothingness.
Mother Brain: I must have power!!!
Kevin: Well! Looks like Mother Brain’s world is finally brain-dead!
Lana: (happily) We Did It! Peace has come at last!
Behind her, Simon and Duke both had their mouths gaping open in excitement, and Simon put his right hand on his head.
Mega: No more monsters attacking in the night!
Pit Icarus: No more endless fighting!” (holding up both arms) Yeah!
Simon: And, best of all, (leaning back)no more waking up early!
Lana: Oh, you did it, Kevin!
She threw her arms around Kevin, her right hand going to his left shoulder and her right going to the left side of his neck.
Lana: You saved Videoland! You’re the greatest Game Enforcer in the universe.
He smiled, and they might have kissed then and there, were it not for what happened next.
As they soared through space, they suddenly heard a strange sound and felt a quaking. Kevin suddenly looked forward.
Kevin: What was that?
As they approached an asteroid, they saw a blue light coming from it.
Lana: It looks like some kind of warp.
As they came nearer, the warp became translucent, and a transparent hole opened in the middle. But none thought of the fact that warps did not usually do that.
Kevin: I don’t believe it!! It's my Town!
Mega Man: That blast must have opened up a warp back to your world!
Duke barked at his master and moved forward so his head was near the back of Kevin’s seat.
Kevin: That’s right, Duke, We can go home!
Simon Finally!{gets curious looks from the others} Uh, I mean. . . you’ll finally be able to return to your home! Yes, that’s what I mean!
Lana didn’t really like the sound of this. She really liked Kevin, and somehow she didn’t want to be parted from him like this. She put her hands on his right shoulder.
Lana: Aw. . . do you really have to go home, Kevin?
Kevin: Don’t you see, Princess? It’s perfect timing. I’ve accomplished what the Ultimate Warp called me here to do. I beat the game! Now, it’s opening up to let me go back.
The thrill of ‘beating the game’ so overcame him that he couldn’t even think of his feelings for her at the moment.
Lana: But. . . what about us?
Simon popped up and put his right arm around her.
Simon: (baring his ego) Oh, he needn’t worry about us, Your Wonderfulness,We’ll be fine without him!
She shoved him back by pushing his face with her left hand.
Kevin landed the wagon just in front of the warp on the asteroid. Kevin, Simon, and Kid Icarus got out. Standing on the left door, Mega Man put his arms around Kevin at belly-height from behind and hugged him tightly.
Mega Man: (emotionally) I'm gonna miss you, Captain N!
Kevin: (grunts) I’ll miss you, too, Mega Man.
Mega Man then put him back down.
Pit Icarus flew to Kevin and extended his right hand.
Pit: You were the best Game Enforcer anyone could ask for, Kevin.
Pit Icarus said as Kevin shook his hand.
Kevin: Thanks, Kid Icarus.
Simon stepped over to Kevin, and he seemed to be crying slightly. Much as he hated to admit it, he really did like having Kevin around. Kevin extended his right hand to the vampire hunter.
Kevin: Good-bye, Simon. Thanks for all your help.
he and Simon shook hands.
Simon: (sadly) Good-bye, Captain N and Good luck.
He moved his left hand up to his left eye and rubbed it gently.
Simon: Oh. Must’ve gotten some flower pollen in my eyes.
Finally, Kevin turned to Lana. Her long hair and the lower part of her dress were blowing to her right in the breeze that she was currently standing in, and Kevin knew he would probably remember that image of her for the rest of his life. He stepped up to her and looked at her sadly. “
Kevin: (softly) I’ll think of you every time I play my video games, Lana.
Lana came to him and hugged him tightly.
Lana: (sadly) Good-bye, Kevin.
They both wanted so much to be able to say more, to do more, but they both knew they didn’t have the time.
Mega Man: (sitting at the wheel of the wagon) Hurry, Captain N,The warp is starting to close!
Kevin and Duke slowly stepped to the warp. Kevin stopped just before he got to the threshold and turned around. He undid the Power Pad belt and let it fall to the ground.
Kevin: Well, I guess I won’t be needing these anymore.
As he looked back at his friends, Pit Icarus was crying and waving good-bye with his left hand, Simon began waving with his left hand, and Lana, standing in between the two, put her hands together in front of her neck. Yes, he would certainly miss these people. Waving back to them, Kevin turned and continued to the warp. Duke barked, “Good-bye!” just before he and his master entered it.
Once Kevin had gone through, Lana turned back to her friends.
Lana: Well, what are you waiting for?
She hopped into the seat beside Mega Man, and Simon and Pit Icarus returned to the back seat.
Lana: Take us home, Mega Man.
Mega Man: Aye, aye, Your Highness
He lifted off and piloted the Warp Wagon back to the Palace.
Later, at the Palace of Power. . .
Lana and the other three N Team members were in the palace’s throne room. Lana was on the throne, her right elbow against a pad to the right of her throne and her head resting on her right hand. She was sadder than she could let these people know. Meanwhile, Mega Man was sitting on the right side of the throne platform, and Simon was sitting on the left side. Pit Icarus flew to a point above Lana.
Lana: (calmly) Well,I guess this would be a good time for all of us to take a well-deserved rest.
Pit Icarus lowered himself to a point above the pad to the left of her throne.
Pit Icarrus: I could visit Lady Palutena on Mount Olympius.
Mega Man: And I could tell Dr.Wright on Megaland about our victory.
Simon got up and walked up to Her Highness.
Simon: And we could spend a quiet week together at my lodge on Castlevania.
Lana turned away from him and closed her eyes.
Lana: Ah. . . no thanks, Simon.
Pit Icarus flew over to the warp to Mount Olympius and waved at Lana with his left hand.
Pit Icarus: So long, Your Highness.
He then went through the warp.
Mega Man went to the warp to Megaland and waved at her with his left hand.
Mega Man: See you soon!
Then, he entered the warp.
Simon looked a little dejected.
Simon: Are you sure we. . .
But then she shook her head, and he knew he shouldn’t try to push her any further. He walked over to the warp to Castlevania. Turning, he gave a short wave with his right hand and then walked through the warp.
When they had all left, Lana sat up and merely shrugged to herself. Now that she had the Palace to herself, she didn’t know what to do.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Duke were walking down a sidewalk in their neighborhood.
Kevin: What am I going to say to Mom about where I’ve been,Boy?
Duke merely gave a couple of whimpers in reply.
Kevin: Man, you’re right, Duke.
He pointed towards his head with his left index finger and moved the hand in circles to mean, ‘crazy’.
Kevin: If I tell them the truth, they’ll think I’ve come unwrapped!
Duke stopped off the sidewalk and went to a tree. He emitted a questioning sound and then sniffed the tree. Kevin crouched down next to him.
Kevin: What is it, boy?
Duke scratched the tree with his left front foot, and not only was a metallic noise made, some coating came off the tree and revealed that it was metal!
Kevin: A metal tree!? (stood up). Something very weird is going on!
He and his dog ran over to what appeared to be their house. Kevin went to the front door, put his right hand on the door handle, and took his house key out of his left jeans pocket. However, when he tried to insert the key into the lock on the door handle, it wouldn’t fit! The lock on the door handle was too skinny for the key! Kevin banged on the door.
Kevin: Mom! Mom!
Suddenly, the door swung inwards, and he saw a metal room inside!
Kevin: It’s all fake!
Familiar Voice: Not all of it!
He knew that voice! He turned left to the voice. And there he saw it. He had entered a hallway in Metroid, and there were Mother Brain, King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, and Dr. Wily, all waiting for him!
Mother Brain: I am very real!
Kevin: Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Welcome home, Captain N!
The evil brain laughed most heartlessly, and Kevin looked on in shock. Once they had led him to Mother Brain’s inner sanctum, Kevin asked the question most on his mind.
Kevin: It was all a trick, wasn’t it, Mother Brain?
Mother Brain: Of course! Those flowers weren’t powerful! King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were just pretending.
Eggy: Yeah! (laughed) Yeah. Show him what great actors we are, King Hippo.
King Hippo raised his left arm to the upper right and bent his right arm upward to a point in front of his chest.
King Hippo: Romeo Brain.....
Mother Brain: (snaps) Shut up!
She used her tentacle to yank his right leg and case him to fall on his back.
Kevin: Then you weren't running out of power?!!!
Mother Brain: Are you kidding? I’ve got enough Zebetite Power Crystals to last me centuries! And with you out of the way,I'll rule once again!
Kevin was now very angry, and it showed in every way. In his stance, in his expression, in everything about him. As Eggplant Wizard began to speak again, Kevin turned his head to him.
Eggplant Wizard: (smugly) Yeah,You’re not so tough without your Power Pad and Zapper!
Kevin then turned his body and raised his right fist threateningly to the vegetable. The vegetable cried, grabbing onto King Hippo.
Mother Brain: Silence! Captain N is in our home, and I always treat my guests with respect. Before I destroy them! Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!
She fired a zap from one electrode on top of her jar and struck the ground before Kevin and Duke.
Kevin cried as a blue circle began forming from that zap and grew to encircle him and Duke. That turned the ground beneath them into a warp that dumped them into the dreaded passageways within Metroid. They cried out as they fell through the warp. They crashed in a corridor.
Kevin: Oh, great! We’re in the center of Metroid!
Duke looked ahead and yapped frantically. A Rio was zipping towards them in attack! Master and dog ducked, and the beast flew over them, but it growled and turned around for another pass. After getting up, Kevin reached instinctively for his Zapper, but it wasn’t there.
Kevin: (mocking himself) Uh, I won’t be needing my Zapper anymore,”Way to go, Kev. Come on, Duke! Let’s beat it!”
He and his dog ran from the Rio, and as they ran, the Rio was joined by a Skree.
As Captain N searches for a way out of the deadly Metroid world, the princess is about to face her own crisis.
It was nighttime at the Palace of Power. Lana was leaning on the sill of an open window, gazing up at the heavens.
Lana: Oh, it sure is a beautiful night,I wish I could share it with Kevin.
Suddenly, she gasped in horror. Before her eyes, the evil planet Metroid passed into view, and its apparent large size only meant that it was very near the Palace!
Lana: That’s Metroid! But. . . that’s impossible! It's out of power!
From behind her, she heard a voice that she knew and hated, and when she heard it, she whirled around to it.
Mother Brain: On the contrary, Your Naïveness,
Mother Brain and a group of steel-clad soldiers from Metroid warped into the room, “
Mother Brain: In a short while, I will have supreme power, as ruler of Videoland!”
Her soldiers advanced, and two grabbed Lana by the arms.
Lana: What have you done with Captain N?
The two soldiers forced her onto her knees as Mother Brain came forward to her.
Mkther Brain: Why, I warped him home, of course. . . to Metroid, sweet Metroid!
She laughed despicably. As the evil brain spoke, Lana could see the evil delight in her eyes, and it was horrifying.
Mother Brain: At this very moment, my armies are launching sneak attacks on various Videoworlds!
Lana was attempting to struggle against the soldiers that were holding her, but she wasn’t strong enough to break their grip.
Lana: You’ll never succeed, Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Are you kidding? Without Captain N to help you, you haven’t got a chance!
The hardness in Lana’s eyes vanished as she heard this. Lana knew Mother Brain was right. Without Kevin, Videoland was doomed.
Meanwhile, on Mount Olympius, the peace celebration is about to come to an unsuspected end.
At the temple on Mount Olympius, the Olympians were celebrating, and they were tossing their hero,Pit Icarus, in the air and cheering. They finally let Pit down and gathered around him. Pit Icarus pretended to be happy, but his sadness showed through for a moment.
Pit: (sadly) This peace celebration just isn’t the same without Kevin to enjoy it with.
He looked to his left, and suddenly, a warp opened in their midst. Several mutant boxers warped in. . . headed by none other than King Hippo!
King Hippo: I hereby conquer this world,and rename it, ‘Mount Hippocus’! Ha, ha!
Kid Icarus flew up to King Hippo’s face.
Pit: (angrily) You're fooling yourself,King Hippo! Videoland is at peace!
King Hippo grabbed Kid Icarus with his left hand.
Hippo: You're the one fooling yourself, Wimpicus!
He flung the archer away with no trouble.
Then, the other boxers grabbed King Hippo and began tossing him up into the air! They cried several times as they tossed him.
And on Megaland, another peaceful scene is about to be shattered.
Mega Man was riding in on a flowered float in Megaland’s peace parade. The float had a giant, lifeless model of him smiling, but as he sat and waved at the crowds, he did not feel the least bit like smiling.
Mega Man: (dejectidly) I wish Captain N could be here to see this parade.
But suddenly, he saw a warp open in front of his float, and Dr. Wiley came in with a few tall robots!
Wiley: So sorry to interrupt your party,mega jerk,but I’ve come to give my regards. Not to mention orders! Heh! Grab them!”
His robots advanced. One robot came forward and grabbed Mega Man without a fight. Mega Man cried when the robot grabbed him.
Dr.Wiley: Not even Captain N can help you now,Ha, ha, ha! Wheeze! Ha, ha! Wheeze! Ha!
Even on the dreary world of Castlevania, Mother Brain’s presence is about to be felt.
In front of the castle, Simon was on the greatest ego trip of his life. He was being interviewed by a TV reporter.
Reporter:Tell us how it happened once again, Mr. Belmont?
The reporter held his microphone up in front of Simon.
Simon: (false bragging) It was nothing, really,I just single-handedly defeated Mother Brain and an army of fifty thousand troops,empty handed with no power ups.
He put his hands behind his back and looked as if he were struggling, and the crowd cheered. The camera people took this opportunity to photograph him again. When he looked at the image of himself that the recording camera showed, he smiled, but then he realized that what he was doing was completely wrong. His expression turned from happy to sad.
Simon: No, I can’t lie anymore,That’s not the way it happened at all!
He began crying, and he covered his eyes with his right hand.
Simon: Captain N is the real hero; I’m just a prettyboy!
Suddenly, a tomato hit his mouth splattered all over him! The crowd gasped and turned around, and there was Eggplant Wizard on the hill behind the castle. He had a vegetable army with a broccoli, a radish, a carrot, and a kidney bean, and his vegetable wand was aimed directly at Simon. The villainous veggies all laughed, and Simon grunted, trying to speak but unable to because the tomato had sealed his mouth shut.
Eggplant Wizard: From now on, you’re all prisoners of Mother Brain! Not to mention meat- eaters!
He shot a string of beans that surrounded Simon and imprisoned him. Simon continued trying to speak, but he couldn’t.
Meanwhile, as Videoland succumbs to Mother Brain’s invasion. . .
In Metroid, Kevin and Duke hid behind a column as a Klayde and a blue Viola passed by on patrol.
Kevin: Man. What I wouldn’t give for a Zapper right now,(looked down to his pet) I wish Samus Aran were here too!
He looked back to his left to watch Mother Brain’s troops pass, but suddenly, some dirt came crumbling down from the ceiling. He looked up and saw a Skree laughing and diving straight for him!
Kevin: Duke, run!
He and his pet ran forward, and the Skree crashed headfirst and claws-first into the ground. It pulled itself out and then flew after Kevin and Duke. As he and Duke fled, Kevin noticed a light blue ball glowing with light in a pedestal. He stopped and smiled. He grabbed the ball and flung it back at the Skree. The ball broke on the ground before the Skree and surrounded it with rainbow-colored energy.
Not long later, the Game Enforcer found himself surrounded by six two-legged pink beasts with sharp teeth and wings tiny with respect to their bodies. These beasts were larger and fatter than him. He was trying to fight them off with a wooden bat, but that did not impress them. Duke was some distance away, but he could see what was going on. While yapping at the beasts, he noticed a small niche to his right that contained the High Jump Boots. He flung these to his master, who dropped the bat, leapt into the shoes, and leapt out of the circle of monsters. The monsters tried to charge, but their ugly faces only collided because he was no longer there. As Kevin landed near him, Duke leapt into his arms. Once he was holding Duke, Kevin leapt high through a pipe in the ceiling and landed on the floor above them, and they kept on moving.
Later, a Klayde used its prod to gently poke at Duke, who appeared to be dead. Suddenly, Kevin lassoed the Kraid from behind, and Duke sat up as Kevin nabbed the Klayde’s gun. Not long afterwards, Kevin encountered a big, round green creature that was blocking his path. First, he froze it with an ice pellet from the gun, and then he blew it up with a few other types of ammo from the gun. Finally, they came to an iron door blocking their passage forward. Kevin banged on the door with his fists, and Duke noticed a grenade coming out of the wall to the right. He grabbed it and took it over to Kevin. Kevin then pulled the pin, set the grenade in front of the door, and ran out to the corridor intersecting this one and hid behind the wall. When the bomb had exploded, Kevin turned and noticed a huge hole where the door had been. He and Duke went through the door and found themselves in Mother Brain’s control room.
Kevin: (excited) We made it,Duke! Samus would be proud!
However, looking around, they found that neither Mother Brain nor any of her lackeys were in here. So, Kevin and his dog ran over to the navigation system and checked the battle plans that Mother Brain had carelessly left there.
Kevin: According to these battle plans, Mother Brain's forces are atacking Videoland!
He turned his head to his left and down to address his dog.
Kevin:But she made one fatal mistake, Duke. She figured I’d never make it out alive, so she left Metroid undefended.
He turned to his right and smiled deviously.
Kevin: And worse than that, she stupidly left the keys in the ignition!
Duke whimpered questioningly, but Kevin was right. Mother Brain had indeed left the copper key in Metroid’s ignition switch. Attached to this key was a keychain that had a rabbit’s foot. Unfortunately, that would prove very unlucky for Mother Brain.
Back at the Palace, Mother Brain has taken command of Videoland’s Seat of Power.
Outside in the courtyard, Eggplant Wizard blew on a long trumpet, making a disgusting sound.
Eggplant Wizard: Oyez, oyez! All rise in the presence of Her Cerebral Highness, Queen Mother Brain!”
Mother Brain sat on a platform behind and above Eggy. To her right and left, Dr. Wiley and King Hippo respectively sat at desks below her but above the floor. When Eggplant Wizard had commanded all to rise, Wily and Hippo arose. There were two lines of Mother Brain’s soldiers, one standing to Eggy’s right and one to his left, so as to form some sort of corridor.
With her right tentacle, Mother Brain took hold of a gavel before her and banged it twice on top of the platform she was on.
Mother Brain: Bring the prisoners forward.
Two soldiers brought forth the prisoners. . . Pit Icarus, Princess Lana, Simon Belmont, and Mega Man. Each one’s hands were in small wooden stocks that acted as especially uncomfortable handcuffs.
Mother Brain: As judge, jury, and executioner of Videoland,I charge you all with conspiracy to bring peace and freedom to everyone. How do you plead?
Lana: (defiant,confident) Guilty, and proud of it,
Simon looked at her as though she was nuts.
Pit: That goes triple for me!
Mega Man: I agree,
Simon looked around at his friends.
Simon: Ah. . . me, too.
Mother Brain (banged her gavel) Order in the court!
Of course, Eggplant Wizard had to be a comedian.
Eggplant Wizard: Uh,I’ll have a cheeze burger, uh, hold the pickles.
Suddenly, Mother Brain swung out her gavel and smashed it against the wall of her pedestal, and Eggy ducked.
Eggplant Wizard: Okay, okay! I’ll hold the pickles!
Mother Brain: Will you shut up!?
Mother Brain demanded, about ready to toss him in jail for contempt of court. She addressed the defendants.
Mother Brain: I hereby sentence you to banishment. . . into the Black Hole Zone!!
Everyone in earshot gasped.
Lana (horrified) The Black Hole Zone? Oh, but no one’s ever come out alive!
Mega Man: (terrified) The gravity’s so great,we’ll be squished to no bigger than a grain of sand!
Simon considered this.
Simon: How dreadful! None of my clothes will fit.
The N Team looked up to Mother Brain for mercy, but the coldness in her expression indicated that she was dead serious about this. Dead serious! Suddenly, something snapped in Simon.
Simon: No! I’m too handsome to die!!!
The guard behind him pushed him down to the ground with his circular weapon.
Suddenly, Mother Brain looked up to the sky.
Mother Brain: It can’t be!
Suddenly, Metroid appeared in the sky above the courtyard!
Kevin: Hey there, everybody!
Kevin’s voice echoed over the courtyard. Metroid stopped right over Mother Brain’s ‘prisoners’. Everyone looked up and saw the dark planet.
From inside Mother Brain’s control room on Metroid, Kevin looked to his right from his post at navigation and saw Mother Brain’s surprised face in both of the monitors.
Kevin: Looks like I got here just in time.
Mother Brain: But,I though he was destroyed!
She looked down at Eggplant Wizard and pointed up to Metroid with her left tentacle.
Mother Brain: Finish him!
King Hippo (saluted) Whatever you say, my main brain.
Eggplant Wizard got out a green and yellow weapon.
Eggplant Wizard: I’ll nuke him with my Atomic Spud Gun!
He walked over until he was beneath King Hippo, who dumped a couple of potatoes from a bag into the ammo chamber of Eggy’s gun. Eggy aimed the gun at Metroid and pulled the trigger. The gun acted like a rocket launcher, sending its ammunition up to Metroid, where the ammo exploded on the planet’s surface. It caused a quake, and Kevin and Duke had to fight to stay standing.
Suddenly, up behind Eggplant Wizard, Mother Brain appeared to be in great pain. Her three lackeys looked up at her in amazement.
Mother Brain: Ah! Oof! Stop that—ah!—you idiots!
Her left eye closed once or twice as the pain wore off.
Mother Brain: Metroid is my nerve control center,My brain waves are tuned to it. Anything that happens to Metroid happens to me!
Unfortunately, Kevin heard this.
Kevin: (into the radio transmitter) Thanks for the tip, Mother Brain! Now,release the N Team and tell your armies to surrender.
Behind him, Duke growled, his jowls ready to chew on a big bundle of circuitry.
Ke in: Or I’ll tell Duke to destroy the circuits that mentally connect you to Metroid!
Mother Brain: Ha! You’re just bluffing!
Kevin: (to duke) Show her we mean business, Dukey!
Duke squeezed the circuits in his teeth, and Mother Brain was soon in serious pain.She cried out in pain as her face gyrated every which way in her jar. Dr. Wiley and King Hippo were surprised and dismayed at this. However, the movements of Mother Brain’s face seemed like a dance to the idiotic Eggplant Wizard.
Eggplant Wizard: Hey! I never knew you were such a good dancer, Mother Brain!
The foolish vegetable starting to dance.
Mother Brain didn’t know what irritated her more. . . Duke’s teeth or Eggplant Wizard’s stupidity.
Mothdr Brain: (snapping) Knock it off, you worm-eaten vegetable!!
While Mother Brain was distracted, Kevin grasped a lever with his left hand and fired Metroid’s lasers. They hit the stocks holding his friends’ hands, and the stocks all came off. Lana ran over to one of Mother Brain’s soldiers and grasped his staff.
Lana: What do you say you and I do a little dancing of our own?
She yanked the staff out of his right hand and sent him spinning.
Lana: Let’s go, N Team!
As a row of five soldiers advanced, Mega Man leapt up and hit the first one in the chest with his left fist and set them all falling down. Simon whistled, and his live whip flew off of one of the guards’ belts, and its handle landed in his right hand. he praised his whip, patting it with his left hand.
Simon: Good boy!
He turned and swung it, and he caught Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo, who were attempting to flee.
Pit Icarus retrieved his bow and arrows. He held his bow in his right hand. He took a suction cup arrow, pulled it back in the bow, and shot it at Dr. Wiley, who was trying to get away. The suction cup stuck to the left side of the scientist’s mostly bald head, but it didn’t stop there! The shaft of the bow turned upwards, and the feathers of the bow turned into propellers that flew him away!
Wiley: Hey! Put me down!
Up in Metroid, Kevin was ready to return himself and Duke to the Palace.
Kevin: The autopilot is set to take this crate back where it belongs. Get ready to warp out of here, Duke!
Duke barked and ran just as Kevin pressed a button. Kevin and Duke ran to a warp that opened in the floor just outside of the control room, and they stopped just in front of it.
Kevin: Stay close, fella!
After a second, they leapt into the warp.
Down at the Palace the N Team had gotten Mother Brain and her three lackeys all into a small area. Suddenly, a warp opened underneath the four villains, and they fell screaming into it. Once they were back on Metroid, the planet returned to its appointed place in space. Meanwhile, Kevin and Duke came up out of the warp, and everyone cheered. Pit Icarus flew over to Kevin and Duke, and Mega Man ran over.
Pit: Alright!!
Mega Man bounced Kevin repeatedly into the air.
Mega Man: (happy) Captain N did it again!
Lana and Simon approached.
Kevin: Okay, okay! You’re welcome! Put me down, please!
Kevin landed on his feet in front of Lana.
Lana; I didn’t think I was ever going to see you again!
Simon: (arms crossed) Well!
Lana looked back at him for a moment, then turned back to Kevin. She put her left hand over her mouth.
Lana: I’m sorry you weren’t able to go home, Kevin.
Kevin smiled at her, and she could tell there was more in this smile than mere friendliness.
Kevin: Yeah, well. . . in a way, I’m kind of glad I have a reason to stay in Videoland.
She smiled back at him.
Lana: So am I!
He closed his eyes and bent a little closer to her, expecting her to kiss him. And she was about to, but she suddenly thought of something before her lips made it there.
Lana; Oh! Hmm, hmm! I almost forgot something!
he said, turning around. Kevin looked a little sad when he opened his eyes, but when he saw what she was getting, he was happy again. She knelt to the ground and picked up his Power Pad and Zapper belt, and when she stood she presented it to him.
Lana: Remember this?
He lifted his arms as she put the belt around his waist for him.
Kevin: Boy, there’s no denyin’ it, Life just isn’t as cool without my Power Pad and Zapper.
He did a backflip. In the middle of this, he pulled out his Zapper, and when he landed, he aimed it directly in front of him and shot off a blast. Yes, he was definitely happy to have his Power Pad and Zapper back!
==============================================================
Note: Just 1 more season 1 episode left,and thats "In Search Of The King!"
Then it's episodes from Season 2..starting with "Gameboy!"
Simon: The art of good painting is all in the wrist.
Princess Lana stood before him with a paint roller that had a long handle. Behind her was what was to be painted, a blue wall.
Lana: Thanks for the advice, Simon,but we’re painting a wall, not a making art.
Simon: Regardless,an artist has patience!
As he spoke, Simon appeared to be dabbing little bits of paint onto the wall. Of course, this method would take forever.
Kevin: Maybe (holds a paint roller with a short handle) but a good house painter has a roller.
As the Game Enforcer spoke, Kid Icarus flew up beside the wall and delivered a vertical strip of paint to the wall swiftly with his own roller. After Kevin had finished speaking, Duke barked twice, picked up a can of paint by the handle, and brought it over to Kevin.
Kevin: Thanks, Duke.
Kevin bent down and picked up the paint can.
Kevin: It’s time for some rockin’ and rollin’.
He swung the bucket upwards, and some of the paint came up and out and splashed onto the wall. Kevin then used his Power Pad to jump up to the glob of paint. Using his Power Pad, he flew all over the wall, and with his roller, he distributed the paint in all directions until the wall was covered. Lana, Kid Icarus, and Simon all watched as he did this. He then landed beside Duke and the paint can and picked up the can again.
Kevin: Now let's do the other parts.
He splashed more paint onto the wall, and he distributed it again as he had done before. When Kevin had finished, Duke, who was holding the paint can in his teeth by the handle, walked over and sat down near Simon.
Pit: That was terrific,Kev!”
Kevin landed.
Simon: (disdainfully) It may be fast, but where’s the joy of savoring each brushstroke and drop of paint?
Duke turned around 180 degrees. However, Simon stepped backwards carelessly, and his heel came down on the dog’s tail. Surprised, the dog yapped and accidentally flung the paint can upwards. As it flew in the air, the paint can spun from right-side up to upside down a few times, and when it came down on Simon’s head, it was upside down, and it dumped paint all over his head.
Kevkn: I see what you mean about savoring every drop of paint, Simon.
Simon: (unamused)Very funny!
Suddenly, Mega Man called from the throne room, which was adjacent to this hallway they were in. “
Mega Man: Your Highness, come quickly!
The android said urgently at the doorway.
Mega Man: I’ve picked up something amazing on the satellite monitor!
As he ran back into the throne room, everyone else followed. At the end was Simon, who was trying to get the paint can off his head.
At first, the monitor showed a small brown world that appeared to be split into two parts. Mega Man zoomed in once on the part on the left, which had some crater that had a yellow glow inside. He zoomed in even more, and a hilly surface covered with beautiful flowers appeared.
Lana: What’s the big deal? It’s just an abandoned world filled with beautiful flowers.
Mega Man: Not just any flowers, Your Highness,Power flowers. Here. Let me run the tape back for you.
He turned and aimed the remote control at the monitor and started playback.
When the tape began running, a blue warp was shown in the flower field, and a giant ruddy four-legged robot jumped through the warp. On top of its back was a control room, occupied by King Hippo and, to Hippo’s left, Eggplant Wizard. King Hippo appeared to be controlling the mechanical beast’s movements. When the robot landed, it turned around.
Eggy: We’ve got to hurry King Hippo,Metroid is running out of power.
The robot stopped and began ‘eating’ the flowers. As it did so, the two creeps laughed maniacally.
Eggy: And without these special power flowers, Mother Brain is powerless!
Hippo: Yeah,and this is the only planet in Videoland where these flowers grow.
Then the monitor turned off.
Lana: Do you realize what this means?
Kevin: Yeah! If we can destroy those flowers, Mother Brain will be too weak to do much of anything!
Mega Man: We’ve got to hurry if we’re going to get there before King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard finish loading the flowers,
The N Team left and boarded the white Warp Wagon. It was a sleek flying vehicle with a red N on the hood. It had no roof. Kevin sat in the left-hand pilot’s seat and Lana sat to his right. In the back seat, Simon, Duke, Mega Man, and Kid Icarus were seated from right to left. All had buckled their safety belts.
Kevjn: Better buckle up, dudes,(held up his right thumb). I don’t have my driver’s license yet!
Of course, he was just saying this to scare them. He figured they probably didn’t have driver’s ed in Videoland, but he had taken that already in California and passed with flying colors. Of course, he had never piloted for real before. . .
Simon (leaping half out of his seat): You what!!!?”
Simon demanded, leaping half out of his seat. Kevin took off with fast acceleration, and Simon was nearly forced backwards out of his seat because he wasn’t hanging on. he cried as Kevin climbed up to the warp to the flower world. He was alarmed by Kevin’s speed and maneuvering, but Kevin was simply new to the accelerator and steering wheel of a flying vehicle, and it would take him a little while to adapt to these.
Simon: He’s going to smash us i to the wall!!!”
However, Kevin steered them directly into the warp. In the flower world, the giant robot was still eating up flowers.
Hippo: Ok,We’re almost full.
Eggplant Wizard: Good,Mother Brain will be running out of power any minute now.
Suddenly, up in the air, a blue warp from the Palace of Power opened, and the Warp Wagon came through it. Kevin steered it downwards in search of the two flower pilferers. Though Kevin seemed to be piloting just fine now, Simon appeared scared. Lana spots the 2 lackies and points down to her right for Kevin.
Kevin: There they are!”
Kevin steered down to them.
King Hippo looked up and saw the heroes.
Hoppo: It’s the N Team! You know what to do.
Egplant Wizard: Right,Activating Strawberry Jammers!
He pressed the red button marked ‘Strawberry Jammers’, and a cannon popped out of the left side of the robot. It fired a huge glob of strawberry jam that covered the hood of the Warp Wagon.
Attempting to take control of the situation, Simon got up.
Simon: (heroicly) I’ll take the controls now!
Kevin didn’t want to argue, so he moved to his left, and Simon leaned over the back of the benchlike front seat and took the wheel. However, the wheel wouldn’t move much.
Simon: The controls are. . .
Suddenly, a squirt of strawberry jam came through the control panel and coated his face.
Simon (amused) Hm. Jammed!
Lana smiled.
Suddenly, the giant robot leapt into the air towards the Warp Wagon.
Eggplant Wizard: Now, I’ll get ’em with my peanut butter blasters,(operating some controls) and they’ll be peanut butter and jam! Hoo, hoo, hoo!
A cannon popped out of the back of the robot in front of the control center. On the side of this cannon were the words ‘Big Jif’. This cannon fired globs of peanut butter at the N Team.
One glob hit the Warp Wagon dead on.
Mega Man: We’re doomed!!!
Kevin: Not yet!
He moved his right hand to his Power Pad and hit his pause button. Time froze on everything except for him.
Kevin: This better work.
He unfastened his safety belt, hopped out, and crossed several globs of peanut butter to a large one aimed directly at the Warp Wagon. He turned this large one around, pointing it back at the robot of Mother Brain’s stooges. Then, he leaped back into his seat in the Warp Wagon. He was prepared for the pause to end, and when it did, he brought the wagon back upwards. However, Eggy and Hippo screamed when they saw the big glob of peanut butter heading back at them! Eggy grabbed onto his partner in crime and popped out potatoes, turnips, cauliflower, tomatoes, and a cucumber. When the peanut butter hit the robot, the two ejected from the robot. While the robot spiraled to the ground and crashed, Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo were safely descending to the ground in parachutes.
Meanwhile, all the N Teamsters were happy, except for Simon.
Mega Man: (happily)He did it!!
Mega Man popped up and rubbing Kevin’s head with his left hand.
Pit: Way to go, Kevin!
Pit Icarus put his right hand on Kevin’s left shoulder. Kevin looked back over his left shoulder at the archer. Lana turned and smiled at Kevin.
Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo landed on the ground uncertainly, and they got all entangled in their parachutes. The two scrambled to get out from underneath their chutes.
Eggy: Wah! Watch where you’re stepping! That’s my eye!
Hippo: Hey!” Hippo Get your knee out of my belly button!
Side by side and belly down on the ground, they simultaneously lifted King Hippo’s chute over their heads, and looked up to see tennis shoes, then blue jeans, and then the barrel of a Zapper aimed straight at them.
Eggplant Wizard cried, getting up. Tears were popping out of his eye.
Eggplant Wizard: Please,Don’t shoot!
He pulled out a photo and showed it to Kevin, and it showed a red eggplant in a blue robe. Her left hand was on the left shoulder of an eggplant kid with lavender skin, a bandage on the left side of its body, and a toy sword in its right hand. Her right hand was on the right shoulder of an eggplant kid with skin close to Eggplant Wizard’s color. This one held a doll in its right hand and what appeared to be a red fish in its left hand.
Eggy: I have a wife and two baby eggplants at home!
By now, King Hippo was standing to his friend’s left.
Kevin: (shrugged) Don’t worry. I’m not going to fry any eggplant. Just flowers!
The two lackeys watched in shock as Kevin moved his Zapper to the purported power flowers spilling out of the wrecked robot and blew the flowers and the robot away with one single laser blast. When the robot’s explosion was over and Eggy and Hippo had ceased shielding their eyes from the glare, Kevin finished:
Kevin: Now, run back home and tell your Mother Inferior that she just ran out of power. . . permanently!!
Suddenly, the ground began quaking loudly.
Pit: Woah,what’s that noise!
Mega Man: It’s the power flowers!!! This planet is about to blow up!
Kevin looked to his right and saw a volcano blow its top.
King Hippo: Abandon Planet!!!!!
Eggplant Wizard: Women and eggplants first!
Eggplant and Hippo ran to the warp to Metroid.
Lana: Kevin,Hurry!
Lana called as Kevin was holstering his Zapper,Kevin pressed a button on his Power Pad with his left index finger and jumped back into his seat in the wagon.
Kevin: Hang on
Kevin prepares to take off. He lifted the wagon off the ground. Just then, Eggy and Hippo dove screaming into the warp to Metroid. Just after they were through, the warp closed, and the ground beneath the warp began blowing up.
Mother Brain:No!!!!”
Mother Brain screamed just as her monitor deactivated.
Mother Brain: My precious power flowers!!
Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo slid in on their bellies through a warp that was in a hole in the wall. They were halfway across the room before they stopped sliding. She turned to them.
Mother Brain: You fools!! You’ve ruined everything!!!
They got up.
King Hippo: (surprised) But I thought. . .
Suddenly, Eggplant slapped his left hand over Hippo’s mouth.
Egplant Wizard: Shut up,before you get us in real trouble!
As Mother Brain was scowling at her lackeys, the image of Lana appeared in the viewscreen.
Lana: It’s too late, Mother Brain.
Mother Brain turned in horror back to the monitor.
Lana: Without your power flowers, you’re through threatening Videoland!
Kevin and Mega Man, who were both naturally in the shot, just smiled at the brain. But as Lana spoke, Simon’s face appeared in the upper left of the monitor, and he stuck out his tongue and waved his hands with the thumbs against either side of his head.
Mother Brain: (in horror) You don’t understand! I must have power!
The lights in her lair began to flicker. “I must!”
Her face contorted, her right eye wide open and her left shut, and her mouth wider than ever. Her face contorted again, both eyes huge and open, her pupils tiny, her left eye a few inches above her right, and her mouth huge. Exhausted, she took a weak look as the lights went out slowly and for good. Metroid faded away to black nothingness.
Mother Brain: I must have power!!!
Kevin: Well! Looks like Mother Brain’s world is finally brain-dead!
Lana: (happily) We Did It! Peace has come at last!
Behind her, Simon and Duke both had their mouths gaping open in excitement, and Simon put his right hand on his head.
Mega: No more monsters attacking in the night!
Pit Icarus: No more endless fighting!” (holding up both arms) Yeah!
Simon: And, best of all, (leaning back)no more waking up early!
Lana: Oh, you did it, Kevin!
She threw her arms around Kevin, her right hand going to his left shoulder and her right going to the left side of his neck.
Lana: You saved Videoland! You’re the greatest Game Enforcer in the universe.
He smiled, and they might have kissed then and there, were it not for what happened next.
As they soared through space, they suddenly heard a strange sound and felt a quaking. Kevin suddenly looked forward.
Kevin: What was that?
As they approached an asteroid, they saw a blue light coming from it.
Lana: It looks like some kind of warp.
As they came nearer, the warp became translucent, and a transparent hole opened in the middle. But none thought of the fact that warps did not usually do that.
Kevin: I don’t believe it!! It's my Town!
Mega Man: That blast must have opened up a warp back to your world!
Duke barked at his master and moved forward so his head was near the back of Kevin’s seat.
Kevin: That’s right, Duke, We can go home!
Simon Finally!{gets curious looks from the others} Uh, I mean. . . you’ll finally be able to return to your home! Yes, that’s what I mean!
Lana didn’t really like the sound of this. She really liked Kevin, and somehow she didn’t want to be parted from him like this. She put her hands on his right shoulder.
Lana: Aw. . . do you really have to go home, Kevin?
Kevin: Don’t you see, Princess? It’s perfect timing. I’ve accomplished what the Ultimate Warp called me here to do. I beat the game! Now, it’s opening up to let me go back.
The thrill of ‘beating the game’ so overcame him that he couldn’t even think of his feelings for her at the moment.
Lana: But. . . what about us?
Simon popped up and put his right arm around her.
Simon: (baring his ego) Oh, he needn’t worry about us, Your Wonderfulness,We’ll be fine without him!
She shoved him back by pushing his face with her left hand.
Kevin landed the wagon just in front of the warp on the asteroid. Kevin, Simon, and Kid Icarus got out. Standing on the left door, Mega Man put his arms around Kevin at belly-height from behind and hugged him tightly.
Mega Man: (emotionally) I'm gonna miss you, Captain N!
Kevin: (grunts) I’ll miss you, too, Mega Man.
Mega Man then put him back down.
Pit Icarus flew to Kevin and extended his right hand.
Pit: You were the best Game Enforcer anyone could ask for, Kevin.
Pit Icarus said as Kevin shook his hand.
Kevin: Thanks, Kid Icarus.
Simon stepped over to Kevin, and he seemed to be crying slightly. Much as he hated to admit it, he really did like having Kevin around. Kevin extended his right hand to the vampire hunter.
Kevin: Good-bye, Simon. Thanks for all your help.
he and Simon shook hands.
Simon: (sadly) Good-bye, Captain N and Good luck.
He moved his left hand up to his left eye and rubbed it gently.
Simon: Oh. Must’ve gotten some flower pollen in my eyes.
Finally, Kevin turned to Lana. Her long hair and the lower part of her dress were blowing to her right in the breeze that she was currently standing in, and Kevin knew he would probably remember that image of her for the rest of his life. He stepped up to her and looked at her sadly. “
Kevin: (softly) I’ll think of you every time I play my video games, Lana.
Lana came to him and hugged him tightly.
Lana: (sadly) Good-bye, Kevin.
They both wanted so much to be able to say more, to do more, but they both knew they didn’t have the time.
Mega Man: (sitting at the wheel of the wagon) Hurry, Captain N,The warp is starting to close!
Kevin and Duke slowly stepped to the warp. Kevin stopped just before he got to the threshold and turned around. He undid the Power Pad belt and let it fall to the ground.
Kevin: Well, I guess I won’t be needing these anymore.
As he looked back at his friends, Pit Icarus was crying and waving good-bye with his left hand, Simon began waving with his left hand, and Lana, standing in between the two, put her hands together in front of her neck. Yes, he would certainly miss these people. Waving back to them, Kevin turned and continued to the warp. Duke barked, “Good-bye!” just before he and his master entered it.
Once Kevin had gone through, Lana turned back to her friends.
Lana: Well, what are you waiting for?
She hopped into the seat beside Mega Man, and Simon and Pit Icarus returned to the back seat.
Lana: Take us home, Mega Man.
Mega Man: Aye, aye, Your Highness
He lifted off and piloted the Warp Wagon back to the Palace.
Later, at the Palace of Power. . .
Lana and the other three N Team members were in the palace’s throne room. Lana was on the throne, her right elbow against a pad to the right of her throne and her head resting on her right hand. She was sadder than she could let these people know. Meanwhile, Mega Man was sitting on the right side of the throne platform, and Simon was sitting on the left side. Pit Icarus flew to a point above Lana.
Lana: (calmly) Well,I guess this would be a good time for all of us to take a well-deserved rest.
Pit Icarus lowered himself to a point above the pad to the left of her throne.
Pit Icarrus: I could visit Lady Palutena on Mount Olympius.
Mega Man: And I could tell Dr.Wright on Megaland about our victory.
Simon got up and walked up to Her Highness.
Simon: And we could spend a quiet week together at my lodge on Castlevania.
Lana turned away from him and closed her eyes.
Lana: Ah. . . no thanks, Simon.
Pit Icarus flew over to the warp to Mount Olympius and waved at Lana with his left hand.
Pit Icarus: So long, Your Highness.
He then went through the warp.
Mega Man went to the warp to Megaland and waved at her with his left hand.
Mega Man: See you soon!
Then, he entered the warp.
Simon looked a little dejected.
Simon: Are you sure we. . .
But then she shook her head, and he knew he shouldn’t try to push her any further. He walked over to the warp to Castlevania. Turning, he gave a short wave with his right hand and then walked through the warp.
When they had all left, Lana sat up and merely shrugged to herself. Now that she had the Palace to herself, she didn’t know what to do.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Duke were walking down a sidewalk in their neighborhood.
Kevin: What am I going to say to Mom about where I’ve been,Boy?
Duke merely gave a couple of whimpers in reply.
Kevin: Man, you’re right, Duke.
He pointed towards his head with his left index finger and moved the hand in circles to mean, ‘crazy’.
Kevin: If I tell them the truth, they’ll think I’ve come unwrapped!
Duke stopped off the sidewalk and went to a tree. He emitted a questioning sound and then sniffed the tree. Kevin crouched down next to him.
Kevin: What is it, boy?
Duke scratched the tree with his left front foot, and not only was a metallic noise made, some coating came off the tree and revealed that it was metal!
Kevin: A metal tree!? (stood up). Something very weird is going on!
He and his dog ran over to what appeared to be their house. Kevin went to the front door, put his right hand on the door handle, and took his house key out of his left jeans pocket. However, when he tried to insert the key into the lock on the door handle, it wouldn’t fit! The lock on the door handle was too skinny for the key! Kevin banged on the door.
Kevin: Mom! Mom!
Suddenly, the door swung inwards, and he saw a metal room inside!
Kevin: It’s all fake!
Familiar Voice: Not all of it!
He knew that voice! He turned left to the voice. And there he saw it. He had entered a hallway in Metroid, and there were Mother Brain, King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, and Dr. Wily, all waiting for him!
Mother Brain: I am very real!
Kevin: Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Welcome home, Captain N!
The evil brain laughed most heartlessly, and Kevin looked on in shock. Once they had led him to Mother Brain’s inner sanctum, Kevin asked the question most on his mind.
Kevin: It was all a trick, wasn’t it, Mother Brain?
Mother Brain: Of course! Those flowers weren’t powerful! King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were just pretending.
Eggy: Yeah! (laughed) Yeah. Show him what great actors we are, King Hippo.
King Hippo raised his left arm to the upper right and bent his right arm upward to a point in front of his chest.
King Hippo: Romeo Brain.....
Mother Brain: (snaps) Shut up!
She used her tentacle to yank his right leg and case him to fall on his back.
Kevin: Then you weren't running out of power?!!!
Mother Brain: Are you kidding? I’ve got enough Zebetite Power Crystals to last me centuries! And with you out of the way,I'll rule once again!
Kevin was now very angry, and it showed in every way. In his stance, in his expression, in everything about him. As Eggplant Wizard began to speak again, Kevin turned his head to him.
Eggplant Wizard: (smugly) Yeah,You’re not so tough without your Power Pad and Zapper!
Kevin then turned his body and raised his right fist threateningly to the vegetable. The vegetable cried, grabbing onto King Hippo.
Mother Brain: Silence! Captain N is in our home, and I always treat my guests with respect. Before I destroy them! Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!
She fired a zap from one electrode on top of her jar and struck the ground before Kevin and Duke.
Kevin cried as a blue circle began forming from that zap and grew to encircle him and Duke. That turned the ground beneath them into a warp that dumped them into the dreaded passageways within Metroid. They cried out as they fell through the warp. They crashed in a corridor.
Kevin: Oh, great! We’re in the center of Metroid!
Duke looked ahead and yapped frantically. A Rio was zipping towards them in attack! Master and dog ducked, and the beast flew over them, but it growled and turned around for another pass. After getting up, Kevin reached instinctively for his Zapper, but it wasn’t there.
Kevin: (mocking himself) Uh, I won’t be needing my Zapper anymore,”Way to go, Kev. Come on, Duke! Let’s beat it!”
He and his dog ran from the Rio, and as they ran, the Rio was joined by a Skree.
As Captain N searches for a way out of the deadly Metroid world, the princess is about to face her own crisis.
It was nighttime at the Palace of Power. Lana was leaning on the sill of an open window, gazing up at the heavens.
Lana: Oh, it sure is a beautiful night,I wish I could share it with Kevin.
Suddenly, she gasped in horror. Before her eyes, the evil planet Metroid passed into view, and its apparent large size only meant that it was very near the Palace!
Lana: That’s Metroid! But. . . that’s impossible! It's out of power!
From behind her, she heard a voice that she knew and hated, and when she heard it, she whirled around to it.
Mother Brain: On the contrary, Your Naïveness,
Mother Brain and a group of steel-clad soldiers from Metroid warped into the room, “
Mother Brain: In a short while, I will have supreme power, as ruler of Videoland!”
Her soldiers advanced, and two grabbed Lana by the arms.
Lana: What have you done with Captain N?
The two soldiers forced her onto her knees as Mother Brain came forward to her.
Mkther Brain: Why, I warped him home, of course. . . to Metroid, sweet Metroid!
She laughed despicably. As the evil brain spoke, Lana could see the evil delight in her eyes, and it was horrifying.
Mother Brain: At this very moment, my armies are launching sneak attacks on various Videoworlds!
Lana was attempting to struggle against the soldiers that were holding her, but she wasn’t strong enough to break their grip.
Lana: You’ll never succeed, Mother Brain!
Mother Brain: Are you kidding? Without Captain N to help you, you haven’t got a chance!
The hardness in Lana’s eyes vanished as she heard this. Lana knew Mother Brain was right. Without Kevin, Videoland was doomed.
Meanwhile, on Mount Olympius, the peace celebration is about to come to an unsuspected end.
At the temple on Mount Olympius, the Olympians were celebrating, and they were tossing their hero,Pit Icarus, in the air and cheering. They finally let Pit down and gathered around him. Pit Icarus pretended to be happy, but his sadness showed through for a moment.
Pit: (sadly) This peace celebration just isn’t the same without Kevin to enjoy it with.
He looked to his left, and suddenly, a warp opened in their midst. Several mutant boxers warped in. . . headed by none other than King Hippo!
King Hippo: I hereby conquer this world,and rename it, ‘Mount Hippocus’! Ha, ha!
Kid Icarus flew up to King Hippo’s face.
Pit: (angrily) You're fooling yourself,King Hippo! Videoland is at peace!
King Hippo grabbed Kid Icarus with his left hand.
Hippo: You're the one fooling yourself, Wimpicus!
He flung the archer away with no trouble.
Then, the other boxers grabbed King Hippo and began tossing him up into the air! They cried several times as they tossed him.
And on Megaland, another peaceful scene is about to be shattered.
Mega Man was riding in on a flowered float in Megaland’s peace parade. The float had a giant, lifeless model of him smiling, but as he sat and waved at the crowds, he did not feel the least bit like smiling.
Mega Man: (dejectidly) I wish Captain N could be here to see this parade.
But suddenly, he saw a warp open in front of his float, and Dr. Wiley came in with a few tall robots!
Wiley: So sorry to interrupt your party,mega jerk,but I’ve come to give my regards. Not to mention orders! Heh! Grab them!”
His robots advanced. One robot came forward and grabbed Mega Man without a fight. Mega Man cried when the robot grabbed him.
Dr.Wiley: Not even Captain N can help you now,Ha, ha, ha! Wheeze! Ha, ha! Wheeze! Ha!
Even on the dreary world of Castlevania, Mother Brain’s presence is about to be felt.
In front of the castle, Simon was on the greatest ego trip of his life. He was being interviewed by a TV reporter.
Reporter:Tell us how it happened once again, Mr. Belmont?
The reporter held his microphone up in front of Simon.
Simon: (false bragging) It was nothing, really,I just single-handedly defeated Mother Brain and an army of fifty thousand troops,empty handed with no power ups.
He put his hands behind his back and looked as if he were struggling, and the crowd cheered. The camera people took this opportunity to photograph him again. When he looked at the image of himself that the recording camera showed, he smiled, but then he realized that what he was doing was completely wrong. His expression turned from happy to sad.
Simon: No, I can’t lie anymore,That’s not the way it happened at all!
He began crying, and he covered his eyes with his right hand.
Simon: Captain N is the real hero; I’m just a prettyboy!
Suddenly, a tomato hit his mouth splattered all over him! The crowd gasped and turned around, and there was Eggplant Wizard on the hill behind the castle. He had a vegetable army with a broccoli, a radish, a carrot, and a kidney bean, and his vegetable wand was aimed directly at Simon. The villainous veggies all laughed, and Simon grunted, trying to speak but unable to because the tomato had sealed his mouth shut.
Eggplant Wizard: From now on, you’re all prisoners of Mother Brain! Not to mention meat- eaters!
He shot a string of beans that surrounded Simon and imprisoned him. Simon continued trying to speak, but he couldn’t.
Meanwhile, as Videoland succumbs to Mother Brain’s invasion. . .
In Metroid, Kevin and Duke hid behind a column as a Klayde and a blue Viola passed by on patrol.
Kevin: Man. What I wouldn’t give for a Zapper right now,(looked down to his pet) I wish Samus Aran were here too!
He looked back to his left to watch Mother Brain’s troops pass, but suddenly, some dirt came crumbling down from the ceiling. He looked up and saw a Skree laughing and diving straight for him!
Kevin: Duke, run!
He and his pet ran forward, and the Skree crashed headfirst and claws-first into the ground. It pulled itself out and then flew after Kevin and Duke. As he and Duke fled, Kevin noticed a light blue ball glowing with light in a pedestal. He stopped and smiled. He grabbed the ball and flung it back at the Skree. The ball broke on the ground before the Skree and surrounded it with rainbow-colored energy.
Not long later, the Game Enforcer found himself surrounded by six two-legged pink beasts with sharp teeth and wings tiny with respect to their bodies. These beasts were larger and fatter than him. He was trying to fight them off with a wooden bat, but that did not impress them. Duke was some distance away, but he could see what was going on. While yapping at the beasts, he noticed a small niche to his right that contained the High Jump Boots. He flung these to his master, who dropped the bat, leapt into the shoes, and leapt out of the circle of monsters. The monsters tried to charge, but their ugly faces only collided because he was no longer there. As Kevin landed near him, Duke leapt into his arms. Once he was holding Duke, Kevin leapt high through a pipe in the ceiling and landed on the floor above them, and they kept on moving.
Later, a Klayde used its prod to gently poke at Duke, who appeared to be dead. Suddenly, Kevin lassoed the Kraid from behind, and Duke sat up as Kevin nabbed the Klayde’s gun. Not long afterwards, Kevin encountered a big, round green creature that was blocking his path. First, he froze it with an ice pellet from the gun, and then he blew it up with a few other types of ammo from the gun. Finally, they came to an iron door blocking their passage forward. Kevin banged on the door with his fists, and Duke noticed a grenade coming out of the wall to the right. He grabbed it and took it over to Kevin. Kevin then pulled the pin, set the grenade in front of the door, and ran out to the corridor intersecting this one and hid behind the wall. When the bomb had exploded, Kevin turned and noticed a huge hole where the door had been. He and Duke went through the door and found themselves in Mother Brain’s control room.
Kevin: (excited) We made it,Duke! Samus would be proud!
However, looking around, they found that neither Mother Brain nor any of her lackeys were in here. So, Kevin and his dog ran over to the navigation system and checked the battle plans that Mother Brain had carelessly left there.
Kevin: According to these battle plans, Mother Brain's forces are atacking Videoland!
He turned his head to his left and down to address his dog.
Kevin:But she made one fatal mistake, Duke. She figured I’d never make it out alive, so she left Metroid undefended.
He turned to his right and smiled deviously.
Kevin: And worse than that, she stupidly left the keys in the ignition!
Duke whimpered questioningly, but Kevin was right. Mother Brain had indeed left the copper key in Metroid’s ignition switch. Attached to this key was a keychain that had a rabbit’s foot. Unfortunately, that would prove very unlucky for Mother Brain.
Back at the Palace, Mother Brain has taken command of Videoland’s Seat of Power.
Outside in the courtyard, Eggplant Wizard blew on a long trumpet, making a disgusting sound.
Eggplant Wizard: Oyez, oyez! All rise in the presence of Her Cerebral Highness, Queen Mother Brain!”
Mother Brain sat on a platform behind and above Eggy. To her right and left, Dr. Wiley and King Hippo respectively sat at desks below her but above the floor. When Eggplant Wizard had commanded all to rise, Wily and Hippo arose. There were two lines of Mother Brain’s soldiers, one standing to Eggy’s right and one to his left, so as to form some sort of corridor.
With her right tentacle, Mother Brain took hold of a gavel before her and banged it twice on top of the platform she was on.
Mother Brain: Bring the prisoners forward.
Two soldiers brought forth the prisoners. . . Pit Icarus, Princess Lana, Simon Belmont, and Mega Man. Each one’s hands were in small wooden stocks that acted as especially uncomfortable handcuffs.
Mother Brain: As judge, jury, and executioner of Videoland,I charge you all with conspiracy to bring peace and freedom to everyone. How do you plead?
Lana: (defiant,confident) Guilty, and proud of it,
Simon looked at her as though she was nuts.
Pit: That goes triple for me!
Mega Man: I agree,
Simon looked around at his friends.
Simon: Ah. . . me, too.
Mother Brain (banged her gavel) Order in the court!
Of course, Eggplant Wizard had to be a comedian.
Eggplant Wizard: Uh,I’ll have a cheeze burger, uh, hold the pickles.
Suddenly, Mother Brain swung out her gavel and smashed it against the wall of her pedestal, and Eggy ducked.
Eggplant Wizard: Okay, okay! I’ll hold the pickles!
Mother Brain: Will you shut up!?
Mother Brain demanded, about ready to toss him in jail for contempt of court. She addressed the defendants.
Mother Brain: I hereby sentence you to banishment. . . into the Black Hole Zone!!
Everyone in earshot gasped.
Lana (horrified) The Black Hole Zone? Oh, but no one’s ever come out alive!
Mega Man: (terrified) The gravity’s so great,we’ll be squished to no bigger than a grain of sand!
Simon considered this.
Simon: How dreadful! None of my clothes will fit.
The N Team looked up to Mother Brain for mercy, but the coldness in her expression indicated that she was dead serious about this. Dead serious! Suddenly, something snapped in Simon.
Simon: No! I’m too handsome to die!!!
The guard behind him pushed him down to the ground with his circular weapon.
Suddenly, Mother Brain looked up to the sky.
Mother Brain: It can’t be!
Suddenly, Metroid appeared in the sky above the courtyard!
Kevin: Hey there, everybody!
Kevin’s voice echoed over the courtyard. Metroid stopped right over Mother Brain’s ‘prisoners’. Everyone looked up and saw the dark planet.
From inside Mother Brain’s control room on Metroid, Kevin looked to his right from his post at navigation and saw Mother Brain’s surprised face in both of the monitors.
Kevin: Looks like I got here just in time.
Mother Brain: But,I though he was destroyed!
She looked down at Eggplant Wizard and pointed up to Metroid with her left tentacle.
Mother Brain: Finish him!
King Hippo (saluted) Whatever you say, my main brain.
Eggplant Wizard got out a green and yellow weapon.
Eggplant Wizard: I’ll nuke him with my Atomic Spud Gun!
He walked over until he was beneath King Hippo, who dumped a couple of potatoes from a bag into the ammo chamber of Eggy’s gun. Eggy aimed the gun at Metroid and pulled the trigger. The gun acted like a rocket launcher, sending its ammunition up to Metroid, where the ammo exploded on the planet’s surface. It caused a quake, and Kevin and Duke had to fight to stay standing.
Suddenly, up behind Eggplant Wizard, Mother Brain appeared to be in great pain. Her three lackeys looked up at her in amazement.
Mother Brain: Ah! Oof! Stop that—ah!—you idiots!
Her left eye closed once or twice as the pain wore off.
Mother Brain: Metroid is my nerve control center,My brain waves are tuned to it. Anything that happens to Metroid happens to me!
Unfortunately, Kevin heard this.
Kevin: (into the radio transmitter) Thanks for the tip, Mother Brain! Now,release the N Team and tell your armies to surrender.
Behind him, Duke growled, his jowls ready to chew on a big bundle of circuitry.
Ke in: Or I’ll tell Duke to destroy the circuits that mentally connect you to Metroid!
Mother Brain: Ha! You’re just bluffing!
Kevin: (to duke) Show her we mean business, Dukey!
Duke squeezed the circuits in his teeth, and Mother Brain was soon in serious pain.She cried out in pain as her face gyrated every which way in her jar. Dr. Wiley and King Hippo were surprised and dismayed at this. However, the movements of Mother Brain’s face seemed like a dance to the idiotic Eggplant Wizard.
Eggplant Wizard: Hey! I never knew you were such a good dancer, Mother Brain!
The foolish vegetable starting to dance.
Mother Brain didn’t know what irritated her more. . . Duke’s teeth or Eggplant Wizard’s stupidity.
Mothdr Brain: (snapping) Knock it off, you worm-eaten vegetable!!
While Mother Brain was distracted, Kevin grasped a lever with his left hand and fired Metroid’s lasers. They hit the stocks holding his friends’ hands, and the stocks all came off. Lana ran over to one of Mother Brain’s soldiers and grasped his staff.
Lana: What do you say you and I do a little dancing of our own?
She yanked the staff out of his right hand and sent him spinning.
Lana: Let’s go, N Team!
As a row of five soldiers advanced, Mega Man leapt up and hit the first one in the chest with his left fist and set them all falling down. Simon whistled, and his live whip flew off of one of the guards’ belts, and its handle landed in his right hand. he praised his whip, patting it with his left hand.
Simon: Good boy!
He turned and swung it, and he caught Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo, who were attempting to flee.
Pit Icarus retrieved his bow and arrows. He held his bow in his right hand. He took a suction cup arrow, pulled it back in the bow, and shot it at Dr. Wiley, who was trying to get away. The suction cup stuck to the left side of the scientist’s mostly bald head, but it didn’t stop there! The shaft of the bow turned upwards, and the feathers of the bow turned into propellers that flew him away!
Wiley: Hey! Put me down!
Up in Metroid, Kevin was ready to return himself and Duke to the Palace.
Kevin: The autopilot is set to take this crate back where it belongs. Get ready to warp out of here, Duke!
Duke barked and ran just as Kevin pressed a button. Kevin and Duke ran to a warp that opened in the floor just outside of the control room, and they stopped just in front of it.
Kevin: Stay close, fella!
After a second, they leapt into the warp.
Down at the Palace the N Team had gotten Mother Brain and her three lackeys all into a small area. Suddenly, a warp opened underneath the four villains, and they fell screaming into it. Once they were back on Metroid, the planet returned to its appointed place in space. Meanwhile, Kevin and Duke came up out of the warp, and everyone cheered. Pit Icarus flew over to Kevin and Duke, and Mega Man ran over.
Pit: Alright!!
Mega Man bounced Kevin repeatedly into the air.
Mega Man: (happy) Captain N did it again!
Lana and Simon approached.
Kevin: Okay, okay! You’re welcome! Put me down, please!
Kevin landed on his feet in front of Lana.
Lana; I didn’t think I was ever going to see you again!
Simon: (arms crossed) Well!
Lana looked back at him for a moment, then turned back to Kevin. She put her left hand over her mouth.
Lana: I’m sorry you weren’t able to go home, Kevin.
Kevin smiled at her, and she could tell there was more in this smile than mere friendliness.
Kevin: Yeah, well. . . in a way, I’m kind of glad I have a reason to stay in Videoland.
She smiled back at him.
Lana: So am I!
He closed his eyes and bent a little closer to her, expecting her to kiss him. And she was about to, but she suddenly thought of something before her lips made it there.
Lana; Oh! Hmm, hmm! I almost forgot something!
he said, turning around. Kevin looked a little sad when he opened his eyes, but when he saw what she was getting, he was happy again. She knelt to the ground and picked up his Power Pad and Zapper belt, and when she stood she presented it to him.
Lana: Remember this?
He lifted his arms as she put the belt around his waist for him.
Kevin: Boy, there’s no denyin’ it, Life just isn’t as cool without my Power Pad and Zapper.
He did a backflip. In the middle of this, he pulled out his Zapper, and when he landed, he aimed it directly in front of him and shot off a blast. Yes, he was definitely happy to have his Power Pad and Zapper back!
