Author's note: This will be a full-length story project. I do not own 'VeggieTales', and copyright of the franchise belongs to Big Idea Inc. I only claim my OC's used in this. Rated T for dark themes and violence (you've been warn). This story is NOT canon to the LarryBoy universe.
This is somewhat of a parody of the 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
If you see any grammar errors in any chapters from here on out, I'm sorry. Now sit back, loosen up, and prepare to feast your eyes on words.
LarryBoy: Good V.S. Evil
Heroes
Willow Street Convenient Store
1:00 AM
"Now just keep chewing on that gum," the Bubblegum Bandit ordered as he exited the convenient store with a bag of stolen loot over and a French baguette, "understand?"
Inside were the two shop employees, stuck and covered to the wall with a glob of Bubblegum Bandit's lazy chewing gum. No matter how hard they tried gnawing out of their bind, the chewing gum's flavor kicked in, making them too lazy to even try.
Unbeknownst to the Bubblegum Bandit, one of the workers managed to press the silent alarm before they were plastered to the wall in gum.
With a cackle, the Bubblegum Bandit bloated up into a bubble, and floated to the rooftops.
Exhaling to deflate himself, the Bubblegum Bandit landed on the roof and started to run across the rooftops.
"That was too easy!" he proclaimed as he ran. Down on the streets below, two police cars were racing towards the convenient store, sirens wailing through the streets. The roar of a jet engine suddenly drowned out the wailing of the sirens. Looking up, the Bubblegum Bandit was able to catch a glimpse of the LarryPlane rocket by overhead.
"What is that?" the Bubblegum Bandit wondered as was looking up. He had seen an object shoot out from the cockpit LarryPlane and was falling straight towards him.
Upon closer examination, he realized that the falling object was none other than the masked cucumber himself.
"Ack…LarryBoy!" the Bubblegum Bandit cried and started fleeing with his loot bag and baguette.
The mask cucumber tucked and rolled onto the ground, and launched himself at the escaping convict, jumping onto another rooftop.
"Halt Bubblegum Bandit!" LarryBoy barked and fired a suction ear at him as he jumped onto the next roof.
The suction ear caught hold of the Bubblegum Bandit's bag and snatched it away with its retraction.
The Bubblegum Bandit immediately turned around to face LarryBoy with his stolen 'weapon'.
LarryBoy noticed that his foe was wielding a French baguette and was waving it around like a sword.
"Stay back LarryBoy!" Bubblegum Bandit warned, "I have a baguette and I'm not afraid to use it!"
All of a sudden, a rapier blade lashed out and swiped at the baguette. The Bubblegum Bandit leapt back with a cry as the baguette was instantly sliced into loaves.
He glanced to his right and found the razor tip of the rapier's blade pointed directly between his eyes.
"I don't think so." the wielder of the rapier stated in a low, bass voice, making his way around the Bubblegum Bandit and cutting of his route of escape while still wielding the rapier at the criminal.
"Curse you Masked Zucchini." Bubblegum Bandit growled as he backed away from the Zorro-dressed Zucchini and his rapier. Approaching from the other side, LarryBoy had caught up, leaving the Bubblegum Bandit no easy way of escape.
"Surrender now," LarryBoy ordered, "you have nowhere else to run."
"No exactly, pickle!" Bubblegum Bandit laughed and started to run towards the edge of the street side of the building.
LarryBoy and Masked Zucchini pursued after him. Bubblegum Bandit jumped over the edge of the building, bloated up, and started to puff himself away.
Just as he was about to get away, he felt a suction cup latch onto his back.
"Like I told you before, I'm a cucumber!" LarryBoy sharply corrected and started to reel in the thief.
"Not again!" Bubblegum Bandit hollered as he started to deflate and shrivel up.
When LarryBoy finished reeling in his suction ear, all that was left of the Bandit was a wad of chewed bubblegum on his super suction ear.
"That's just nasty." Masked Zucchini stated as he secured the bag of loot.
LarryBoy said nothing as he stood near the edge of the building and turned his attention to the two police cars parked outside of the convenient store.
LATER ON…
"This is Vicki the Cucumber, reporting live at the Willow Street Convenient Store. LarryBoy and the Masked Zucchini have just apprehending the Bubblegum Bandit after robbing the store." the blonde cucumber news reporter informed on the live camera feed.
A little crowd had gathered outside the convenient store, only being held back by the yellow police tape surrounding the perimeter and guarding policemen. Inside the building lingered a police lieutenant, LarryBoy, and Masked Zucchini.
(…,,,…,,,)
"Thanks for the help Masked Zucchini." LarryBoy thanked as he emptied out the bag of loot onto the countertop.
From the contents that dropped out of the bag, the Bubblegum Bandit had attempted to steal money, chewing gum, and other items and knickknacks from the store.
"Oh anytime LarryBoy." Masked Zucchini assured as he delicately scrapped a chewed gum off the slushy machine and wiped it off in the trash can.
Finally after a few degrading minutes, Masked Zucchini managed to dispose all of the chewed gum into the trash.
"Um, a little help fellas?" asked the police lieutenant.
LarryBoy and Masked Zucchini glanced over at the police lieutenant's predicament. Somehow, the lieutenant had gotten stuck in the glob of gum along with the two other trapped employees. Suddenly, there was a sudden surge in noise coming from the outside crowd. Apparently this little incident has caused more excitement than usual.
Beep!
"Come in, Master Larry." Alfred's voice piped up over LarryBoy's helmet com. LarryBoy was the only one to hear Alfred's voice due to the recent improvements to their communication gear. Now nobody could ease drop on them.
"One second Masked Zucchini." LarryBoy told his ally. Masked Zucchini nodded and turned his attention to the trapped vegetables in gum.
"I'm here Alfred." LarryBoy answered back, moving off to the side.
"I suggest that you return back to the LarryCave as soon as possible," Alfred said over the channel, "after all, you do have a busy schedule tomorrow."
"Why do you say that?" LarryBoy wondered.
"In case you have forgotten, billionaire CEO, Larry The Cucumber, has to be present at the final election debate in order to help fund and show support for Mayor Blueberry's reelection at 9 AM sharp." Alfred reminded.
"Oh…right." LarryBoy commented, now remembering that he was Mayor Blueberry's sponsor for her reelection.
"And did you bother to remember that you are scheduled to have a date tomorrow night?" Alfred also asked.
"I thought that was next week."
"You two arranged it a week ago."
"Oh."
"Before I forget, how did the new installment on the LarryPlane go?"
"The autopilot? It works, Alfred."
"Indeed...perhaps you should start heading back now?"
"Yeah, I'll be back soon. LarryBoy out." LarryBoy signed off. Returning to the situation at hand, LarryBoy found Masked Zucchini patiently waiting for him.
"Hey listen…uh…I gotta go," LarryBoy told Masked Zucchini, "can you take it from here?"
"Of course LarryBoy." Masked Zucchini replied.
"Thanks." LarryBoy said and turned around.
As LarryBoy started to head out, Masked Zucchini pulled out his rapier and approached the three vegetables trapped in the glob of pink gum.
"Now hold very still." Masked Zucchini instructed as he twirled his rapier. The three vegetables gulped.
(…,,,…,,,)
"Look! It's LarryBoy! Are you recording this Jerry?" Vicki said excited as she dashed up to the yellow tape.
Her cameraman, Jerry Gourd, hurried along right behind her. As soon as LarryBoy stepped out of the store, he was greeted with the flash of photographers and cheers.
"LarryBoy! LarryBoy! Over here!" a Vicki's voice called out.
LarryBoy glanced around to find the source, and his eyes eventually landed on Vicki the Cucumber and her cameraman, Jerry Gourd. Diligently, LarryBoy made his way over to them.
Vicki gasped in delight as LarryBoy approached, but immediately cleared her throat to speak. After all, she wasn't known as Bumblyburg's most in-depth reporter for nothing.
"LarryBoy. First off, I would like to thank you for your time." Vicki said over the microphone.
"Anytime, Vicki." LarryBoy replied with a smile, and Vicki blushed.
"With this being the 20th crime stopped this week, is it safe to say that crime rates are at an all-time low?" Vicki asked, regaining herself.
She offered the microphone to LarryBoy for his input.
"Well Vicki, crime is a fluctuating thing," LarryBoy said over the microphone, his message being recorded loud and clear on live TV, "we superheroes can only do our best to stop as much of it as we can."
"Also, being Bumblyburg's original superhero, what are your thoughts over the two candidates running for mayor?"
"It's not really my business to get involved with politics and debates." LarryBoy carefully explained, not wanting to start anything on live TV.
"But you will be voting, correct?"
"Of course! As a citizen, it is my responsibility to vote." LarryBoy explained precisely.
"But you're a superhero…" Vicki pointed out.
"It is also my responsibility as a superhero to fight crime and to keep Bumblyburg safe." LarryBoy added.
Before Vicki could ask anything else, LarryBoy realized what time it was.
"Gotta go Vicki." LarryBoy quickly said, and fired a suction cup at a streetlight. With a tug and pull, LarryBoy took off from the scene, the purple color of his suit helping him blend in with the darkness of night.
"Isn't he just dreamy?" Vicki swooned.
"Uh Vicki? We're still on air."
Vicki froze in her place and looked at the camera. Blushing, Vicki just smiled at the camera.
"Well…um," Vicki stammered, but was able to control herself, "this is Vicki the Cucumber, signing off."
In the night sky above them, the LarryPlane took off, rocketing off into the night sky.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Author's note: To point out a few specifics:
I am incorporating the characters from the LarryBoy cartoon into the story as well.
This takes place in the 3D world, not the 2D.
Unlike 'Timely Love Stories', this is not a side project. This is a full-length feature story.
Thank you.
