Capt. Justice Returns
(It has been several days since Capt. Justice had left Fair City and everything is trying to go back to normal, with Wordgirl battling her villains the way she sees fit, without the violence that Capt. Justice showed.)
(Today, Wordgirl is battling Dr. Two-Brains.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok Doc, give up and come quietly!
Dr. Two-Brains: Not on your life, Wordgirl! (Laughs evilly.) (He tries to blast her with his cheese ray.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Not today, Doc! (She grabs the cheese ray and destroys it.)
Dr. Two-Brains: You won't catch me, Wordgirl! (He and his henchmen are in their van.) Step on it, Henchmen! (But the van doesn't go anywhere.) What the?
Wordgirl/Becky: Going somewhere, Doc? (She then lifts the van, taking Doc and his henchmen to jail.)
Dr. Two-Brains: You won't get away with this!
Wordgirl/Becky: Hope you enjoy jail. (Later.) Come on, Huggy. We have to get home now. (She and Huggy zoom home and transform back into Becky and Bob.) Hello TJ, so why are you still playing with your Capt. Justice action figure?
TJ: Because, I still think he's the best super hero. And I wish he will come back soon.
Wordgirl/Becky: But he's mean to the villains. He was battling them and they weren't doing anything wrong. He even gave the Butcher a black eye. Don't you think that was mean?
TJ: Well maybe, but they're villains.
Wordgirl/Becky: Villains are people too.
TJ: Why are you being so upset about this?
Wordgirl/Becky: I just think Capt. Justice is acting very much like Miss Power.
TJ: He's no way the same as Miss Power. He didn't come to our house and take Mom away. He didn't throw a bunch of innocent citizens into jail for no reason. He didn't talk Wordgirl into being harsher to everyone.
Wordgirl/Becky: I know. I just think he's not the best super hero and I don't think you should be idolizing him.
TJ: Idolizing?
Wordgirl/Becky: To idolize means to admire someone or something fanatically or excessively. In this case, you're idolizing Capt. Justice and that means you admire him a lot. Just like you used to do with Wordgirl.
TJ: Yeah, just like I did with Wordgirl.
Wordgirl/Becky: Do you miss idolizing Wordgirl?
TJ: Sometimes I do.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, you can always play with your Wordgirl toys again and put away your Capt. Justice toys for awhile.
TJ: Yeah. Maybe I'll do that. (He then goes to his room and puts away his Capt. Justice toys and takes out his Wordgirl toys and begins to play with them again.)
(The next day, at school.)
Ms. Davis: Ok Class. Today we're going to begin our history projects and we're going to work in groups of three. I have my first three right here in front. Tobey, Becky, and Victoria.
Victoria: Fine, I hope you two understand that you're going to be working with the best.
Tobey: So I'm guessing we will all have the best grade when this is finished.
Victoria: I guess so.
Wordgirl/Becky: Ms. Davis, can I work with Scoops and Violet?
Ms. Davis: Sorry Becky, you'll just have to work with them and make the best of it.
Wordgirl/Becky: Fine. (To herself.) Ugh! Working with the two most annoying students in class. Well, I guess it could be worse.
(Meanwhile, Capt. Justice is training to battle Wordgirl over who will be the superhero of Fair City.)
Capt. Justice: That little brat thinks she's better than I am. She's got another thing coming to her.
Mayor of Liverly: I heard what happened to you in Fair City, Capt. Justice.
Capt. Justice: Yes. Their super hero has a problem with me harassing villains.
Mayor of Liverly: You don't say.
Capt. Justice: I do say. I think I need your help. I need my secret police force.
Mayor of Liverly: Don't say anything more. I will help you. When are you heading back to Fair City?
Capt. Justice: Soon.
(Two days later, Becky and Bob are walking home from school when they pass by the electronics store, only to see something happening on TV.)
Newscaster #1: This just in! Capt. Justice is back in town and he's brought with him a secret police force that he claims to have used in his former hometown of Liverly! They are going around town and recapturing any and all of the town's villains!
Capt. Justice: (Talking to the media.) I just want to make this town as safe as my own. I want to be remembered as the super hero who single-handily captured all of the city's villains!
Newcaster #1: There you have it folks, Capt. Justice is doing something that Wordgirl could never had done. This reporter is saying, what most folks are also saying, Capt. Justice is the best super hero in town. And Wordgirl is no longer our town's number 1 super hero.
(Becky and Bob walk away and begin to head home, feeling upset and hurt.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Come on, Bob. Let's go and see Capt. Justice. I have some words for him. (They transform and then zoom off to find Capt. Justice.) Capt. Justice. I see that you're back in town and that you've taken all of the villains and placed them all in jail.
Capt. Justice: I sure did. You can thank me for making your job easier.
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't think so. I seriously doubt that all those villains committed crimes.
Capt. Justice: Well, they didn't. But that's what makes life peaceful and safe.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm not through with you yet! (She then decides to find out more about Capt. Justice, so she and Huggy head to their super spaceship hideout to do research.) This is getting us no where. (Huggy says. "How about we go to his hometown and ask if they know more about him?) Very good idea, Huggy. Let's go to Liverly and find out what we're dealing with and if he has any weaknessess. (They then zoom out of town and head for Liverly.)
Mayor of Liverly: (He had seen her flying above and comes out to see.) Who are you?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm Wordgirl and this is Capt. Huggyface. We're here because your town's hero, Capt. Justice is…
Mayor of Liverly: Wait, you're the heros of Fair City? A mere child and a monkey? No wonder Fair City needed help.
Wordgirl/Becky: Excuse me, but we were doing very well without your 'hero'. Anyway, he's going around town and taking all of the villains to jail, whether or not they committed crimes.
Mayor of Liverly: So, that's where the villains belong. Behind bars for life. That's where our villains reside. The ones that are still left, that is.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, we don't do that in my town.
Mayor of Liverly: And that's why Liverly will always be better than Fair City.
Wordgirl/Becky: Look…
Mayor of Liverly: Look, Little Girl. I have lots of work to do. Why don't you leave now?
Wordgirl/Becky: Fine. (She zooms up and heads to Liverly's jailhouse.) Come on, Huggy. Let's see what the villains in this town have to say about Capt. Justice. (She heads into the jailhouse and goes to where the villains of Liverly are being kept.) Hello?
Villain #1: Hello there. Who might you be?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm Wordgirl and this is Capt. Huggyface. We're the super heros from Fair City.
Villain #1: Fair City, you say?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes. Capt. Justice came to my town to try to take over as the town's super hero but I don't like the way he seeks justice. He's very cruel and ruthless to my villains. And he seems to attack villains who aren't really doing anything wrong.
Villain #2: You mean to say that you don't take villains to jail, unless they do something wrong?
Wordgirl/Becky: Well yeah. I don't see it being fair to bring someone to jail when they don't need to.
Villainess #1: I like you, Wordgirl. You seem kind of nice and generous.
Villain #1: Yeah, the villains in your town are lucky to have someone like you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. So I came to ask about Capt. Justice. It's not I don't like the help, but Huggy and I do just fine and we've never used violence on anyone. I mean, not like what Capt. Justice does.
Villain #2: Well, he's killed at least ten of us villains. One was a very good friend of his from the past. They were the best of friends and something happened one day and they became sworn enemies.
Wordgirl/Becky: I have a villain like that too. His name is Dr. Two-Brains. But I don't want to kill him or anyone. Is Capt. Justice the only super hero you're town's had?
Villainess #2: Well, we had a young hero, much like you. He was merciful just like you.
Wordgirl/Becky: What happened to him?
Villainess #2: Capt. Justice came and wanted to take over and he succeeded in doing so. He killed the young hero. He seems to have a problem with kids who are more powerful then he is, but who don't use their powers to kill.
Wordgirl/Becky: The young super hero never killed his villains either?
Villain #1: No, he did not. He was quite kind and merciful to us villains and he only took us to jail when we committed crimes.
Wordgirl/Becky: That's just what I do. So, Capt. Justice killed the young boy super hero that you've all used to battle?
Villain #2: Yes, nice kid. He was no match for Capt. Justice. What about you? What powers do you possess?
Wordgirl/Becky: Um, well, I have super strength, super speed, flight, I can breathe in Outer Space, I have an ice breath, I have a sonic scream, super hearing, and I have the power of vocabulary. I know the definitions of every word in the dictionary.
Villainess #1: Wow, you seem very powerful. I think you're powerful enough to defeat Capt. Justice.
Wordgirl/Becky: I hope you're right.
Villainess #1: The villains and other citizens in your town are depending on you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, about that. I think the citizens in my town favor Capt. Justice over me. I mean, I know he's a bit more ruthless, but he managed to bring all the villains to jail, which is something I was never able to do.
Villain #1: Sweetie, don't get down on yourself. You're a better person than Capt. Justice and you need to prove to the citizens that your brand of justice is the better way. And like we said earlier, your villains are lucky to have someone like you for their super hero.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. I think I need to get home now and confront Capt. Justice. If I defeat him, he may come back here.
Villain #2: That's ok. As long as we stay here, we should be ok.
(Wordgirl than thanks the Liverly villains and zooms off back to Fair City.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy, we need to defeat Capt. Justice and take back our city. And if we fail…I don't want to think about it. (Huggy says don't dwell on failure.) I won't. Come on. WORD UP! (She zooms faster and when she arrives home, she sees that the town is vacant of all it's villains.) (She even goes to the homes of young villains, Tobey, Victoria, and Birthday Girl and finds out that even they are gone as well.) I think we first need to head home. (They head home and transform back into Becky and Bob.) Hey Mom and Dad.
Mrs. Botsford: Hello Becky. How was your day today?
Wordgirl/Becky: Fine, I guess. So, how has the city been since the villains were all taken to jail?
Mr. Botsford: It's been really great. No more fear of someone robbing the bank or the jewelry store.
Mrs. Botsford: No more robots or anything. I think this Capt. Justice was just what we needed.
TJ: Yeah, Wordgirl was good but she was too merciful to her villains. I mean, there were times she teamed up with them.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well…That just makes Wordgirl a better person. Showing mercy to your enemies isn't a bad thing.
TJ: Yes it is. Capt. Justice said so and he's the best super hero there is.
Wordgirl/Becky: We'll just see about that.
TJ: And another thing, he doesn't need a sidekick to help him out. He can do everything himself.
(This makes Bob feel offended and he begins to pout.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, a sidekick is more than someone who helps out the hero in a battle. They are also good friends and they are there when the hero needs someone to talk to.
TJ: That's so lame. (He then heads upstairs with his Capt. Justice figure.)
(Upstairs in her room, Becky is sitting on her bed.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Is it true, Bob? Does the city really like Capt. Justice now instead of Wordgirl and Capt. Huggyface? (She then looks out her window and wonders about this idea to herself.) (Huggy then comes up to her and says that the city still likes them but are being blind by what Capt. Justice is doing.) I hope you're right, Bob. (Huggy then says there is one group of citizens who still like you. The villains.) That's true, I guess.
(The next day, Becky is at school.)
Ms. Davis: Becky, since your project partners are in jail, I'm going to excuse you from having to do the assignment.
Scoops: She can help Violet and I.
Ms Davis: Well Becky?
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, I'll think about it, Ms. Davis.
Ms. Davis: Ok.
(Later at lunch, Becky is sitting with Scoops and Violet.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't know about you all, but I find it weird not seeing Tobey, Victoria, or Eileen at school.
Violet: I do as well. And I don't think it is right for Capt. Justice to take any villain to jail when they haven't done anything wrong.
Wordgirl/Becky: Wordgirl would love to hear you say that, Violet.
Violet: And speaking about Wordgirl, we haven't seen her in days.
Scoops: Well, all of the villains are in jail. There really isn't anything for her to do.
TJ: (Comes over to Becky and her friends, along with his friend, Johnson.) That's because Capt. Justice is awesome. He single-handily took down all of the villains and now we live in a villain-free town. Just like he promised. Wordgirl was never able to do that.
Wordgirl/Becky: As I told you, TJ, Wordgirl doesn't just take villains to jail because they are villains. She takes them to jail only when they are committing crimes.
TJ: Well, I still think Capt. Justice is better and more powerful than Wordgirl.
Johnson: Capt. Justice is the best.
(They then walk away and head back to their second grade class.)
(Later that day, as Scoops, Becky, and Violet return home from school when they come to the center of town, only to see the mayor giving Capt. Justice another key to the city.)
Mayor of Fair City: I like to present this key to the city to Capt. Justice. You certainly did a great job and this city has never before felt safe and crime-free.
Capt. Justice: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I was just doing my job and that is to make this town safe and crime-free. (He then takes the key to the city and then he and mayor pose for a picture.)
Mayor of Fair City: So what are you planning to do now?
Capt. Justice: Well, I'm not sure how you all feel about capitol punishment, but some of your most dangerous villains need to be put to death for their crimes.
Mayor of Fair City: Well, none of the villains had killed anyone.
Capt. Justice: But they've been in and out of jail so many times and none of them seemed to change their ways. I say we put to death the ones that pose the most threat.
(Having heard that, Becky becomes upset and steps away from her friends.)
Scoops: Becky, are you ok?
Wordgirl/Becky: I need to get home, like now! (She and Bob hurry away from the crowd and transform into Wordgirl and Huggyface.) Come on, Huggy. (She then zooms over to the jailhouse.) Warden, I need to see the villains, like now!
Warden: Hey there, Wordgirl. Haven't seen you in days.
(The villains had heard her voice and they hear fear, panic, and concern in her voice.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Please, I need to see the villains.
(Just then, Capt. Justice comes into the jailhouse, along with some of his police force.)
Capt. Justice: Ah, Wordgirl. I haven't seen you in days. I thought you were gone for good. I guess I was wrong.
Wordgirl/Becky: No way am I going to stay away from my hometown and let you take it over.
Capt. Justice: I see.
Wordgirl/Becky: And, just so you know, I had a talk with some of the villains in your former town and they told me that you killed the previous super hero, who was very much like me. How can you call yourself a super hero if you kill other super heros?
Capt. Justice: Well, have you ever heard of survival of the fittest?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, but that doesn't mean you have the right to take the life of another hero just because you don't like how they battle villains.
Capt. Justice: I made a mission for myself and that mission is to make sure that this world is free of crime and villains.
Wordgirl/Becky: No hero in the history of the world has been able to do that. Not you, me, or that super hero boy you killed.
Capt. Justice: I intend to prove you wrong. And if you like your villains so much, how about if I put you and your pathetic sidekick into jail? Men, take Wordgirl and her sidekick to jail!
Wordgirl/Becky: Oh, no you're not! (She then zooms up towards the ceiling and out of the reach of Capt. Justice's police force.)
(But Capt. Justice flies up and goes to punch her, but she zooms out of the way of his fist.)
Capt. Justice: She's just too fast! Men, shoot her! If she isn't going to be taken to jail, then she will be executed.
(His police force aim their guns at Wordgirl and they begin to shoot at her, but she dodges out of the way and zooms towards the cells where the villains are located.)
Villains: (They see her zooming towards them and they are happy to see her home again.) WORDGIRL!
Wordgirl/Becky: Villains! (She then decides to free them by pulling off their cell doors.)
Dr. Two-Brains: What are you doing?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm freeing you all!
Capt. Justice: (He comes in and sees that she's freeing the villains from their cells.) What in the blazes are you doing?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm freeing the villains! There's no way I'm going to let you execute any of them, no matter how dangerous they are.
Chuck: He was going to execute us?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes. He's done this to villains in the town of Liverly. I was also told that he killed the previous super hero. A young boy, about my age, who battled his villains pretty much the same way I do.
Capt. Justice: That boy was too weak to be a super hero and when I placed all of his villains in jail and replaced him as the town's super hero, he did pretty much the same thing you're doing right now. He freed his villains from jail, hoping that they would help him defeat me. But I was too powerful for him and he was killed. Too bad for him and now, it'll be too bad for you too, Wordgirl.
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't think so.
(Capt. Justice and Wordgirl are now about to face each other in a battle to decide on the fate of the city and it's villains.)
The End…for now.
