Project RX
The day started out like any other typical day at the park. Benson was supervising the days chores that had to be done, Skips was hanging out in the garage of his house fixing up another golf cart Mordecai and Rigby busted up the other day, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost were planning out another prank on some of the workers while Pops looked on with gleeful curiosity at the park, and all the while, Mordecai and Rigby were sitting on the couch in the living room playing video games, particularly Strong Johns IV the latest addition to the Strong Johns franchise, when they were supposed to be doing the job Benson assigned them.
"DUDE GO RIGHT, GO RIGHT" Mordecai told Rigby as he frantically tried to make his avatar attack the boss they were currently up against. "DUDE I'm TRYING, THIS CONTROLLER SEEMS TO BE…" "STOP USING THAT EXCUSE MAN," Mordecai barked at him. "I'm TRYING ALRIGHT! MY ATTACKS NOT FOILING HIM," Rigby stated. On screen their two avatars were attacking a robotic dinosaur who had four mechanical arms. Mordecai's avatar jumped up and landed a double punch on the dinosaur only for it to do barely any damage. Rigby's avatar then jumped up onto a building under construction and grabbed a steel girder and attempted to attack the creature from above. This proved to be a useless task as the creature took away a good portion of Rigby's health just by attacking him with one of it's robotic arms. "DUDE I'm low on health," Rigby complained. "Just hang in there, we should get some health packs at any second," Mordecai reassured him. Sure enough at that moment legions of the bosses minions came flying across the screen. Mordecai and Rigby kept pushing buttons frantically to try and defeat them to get more health. They managed to beat up a good portion of the minions, thus upping their health to near full. "Alright, Rigby, you take him from the front, I'll go around the building and try to take him from behind," Mordecai instructed Rigby. "What, why do I have to face him from the front?" Rigby asked annoyed considering this was the 4th time in the game he was told to face the level boss in the front. "Because you're just gonna die again," Mordecai stated. "Hey I do not always die whenever we play video games," Rigby fired back at his best friend. "Yeah that's what you said the last four boss fights," Mordecai retorted. "I keep telling you my combo moves are only off by a few buttons," Rigby said in defense. "Whatever, just go at him where he can see you," Mordecai said knowing he was never gonna stop get his friend to admit he just flat out sucks when it comes to video games.
They finally set their plan into action, Rigby's avatar stayed in front of the mechanical dinosaur while Mordecai's climbed on top of the building being constructed and went to attack it from behind. This of course didn't prove to be easy as he had to duck the robot's mechanical arms that occasionally tried to lash upwards at him, but he successfully dodged them with each step he took, and each time the creature unleashed one of its arms after winding back for a power attack. While that was going on, Rigby's avatar attempted to jump higher up while dodging attack after attack from the boss. Unfortunately, he ended up trapped in a corner near the top of the building and was left with nowhere else to run as the boss had him boxed in. Unfortunately for the mechanical dinosaur, Mordecai's avatar snuck up behind it, as it was focusing on finishing Rigby's avatar, and thanks to Mordecai entering a special combo, 1 up 1 down 2-1-2-1 2 up 2 down 1-2-1-2 1 left 1 right, Mordecai's avatar successfully performed a helicopter attack on its legs taking them out rendering the boss incapable of moving. "Hey care to give me a hand in finishing this extinct moron off," Mordecai asked his friend who moved his character out of the corner he was just trapped in a moment ago. "Gladly," Rigby stated, especially since he finally played a part in finishing a level boss off. The two moved their game characters in front of the robotic dinosaur who was still screaming and trying to attack them by moving its arms and head at them every chance it had, they fortunately managed to dodge a good portion of the attacks until they finally managed to place themselves on either side of the dinosaurs head. "Hey you fossilized hunk of scrap metal," Mordecai stated as he prepared to deliver an ultimate one liner, after he pushed pause on the game. "STEP OFF!" Mordecai and Rigby exclaimed as they pushed the buttons on their controllers which allowed their characters in the video game to cleanly take the head off of the robotic dinosaur.
After the bosses head was chopped clean off, a bright pixelated congratulations appeared in the middle of a cartoon like explosion cloud and read "BOSS DEFEATED! LEVEL 6 CLEARED!" "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH," Mordecai and Rigby cheered as they raised their right hands into the air celebrating the defeat of the level 6 boss. "Dude we totally kicked that guys face in," Rigby said. "haha, yeahuh we did!" Mordecai said still in celebration mode. "haha, ok dude, breaks over we gotta get back to work before Benson catches us," He then suggested realizing that their assignment for the day was still undone, however just like on any other day at work, Rigby was hesitant about going back to doing actual work. "Whoa whoa man, we could do that, or we could try to see what the boss on level seven looks like and see if we can beat it," he offered as a counter proposal. "No Dude, we gotta get our job done NOW," Mordecai said trying to encourage his lazy friend to get off his ass and actually do something that resembled actual work. Unfortunately at that moment, their Boss Benson entered into the living accompanied by Pops, whose family has been owners of the park for generations, and Skips, the yeti as old as time itself, all of whom were discussing plans and topics they would bring up with the rest of the parks employees later on. It was at that moment that Benson noticed that Mordecai and Rigby were on the couch playing video games and eating snacks instead of doing their assignment. Benson walked over to the two and was immediately unimpressed by the fact that once again they were slacking off instead of working. "UGH WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I TURN MY BACK ON YOU TWO, YOU END UP HERE ON THIS COUCH PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AND SLACKING OFF!" Benson hollered at them as his gumballs started to glow red. "Benson we got most of the lake's leaves raked, we were just taking a break," Mordecai reassured him. "YEAH JUST LIKE LAST WEEK WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CLEAN OUT THE PARK'S DUMPSTERS LAST WEEK AND YOU SPENT THE WHOLE DAY AT THAT COFFEE SHOP!" Benson hollered at them. "We still got it done," Rigby said trying to defend themselves, but Benson was having none of it. "YEAH THREE DAYS AFTERWARDS!" "OK OK, look we're going back to work now," Mordecai said as he motioned for Rigby to get off the couch. "YOU BETTER! BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT DONE BY THE TIME THE STAFF MEETING COMES UP! YOU'RE FIRED!" Benson said as his gumballs began to glow even reader than before. "Wait staff meeting, what for?" Rigby asked. "It's nothing that can't wait until the meeting," Skips said, "This is an event that concerns the whole, when it's meeting time you'll know what it is." "Aw what, so how long is it until the meeting then," Mordecai said, sounding like he was just looking for clarification. "Oh, t'will be within 4 hours from now," Pops informed them. "Yes and if you don't get all of the leaves around the lake raked up by then, DON'T EVEN BOTHER SHOWING UP!" Benson said as his gumballs started to glow red. "Yeah yeah, we know we know," Mordecai said as he and rigby walked out of the house and headed back to get their job done. However, they had no idea the kind of surprise that they were going to receive, or what would eventually result from this surprise.
