Mega Monkey Strikes while SheZow is Weak!

All Characters are the property of Frederator Studios, and I hope that the Manstache is something I dreamed up myself.
...
It was after midnight, and SheZow was off to battle Mega Monkey all by herself. There wasn't enough time to get Maz and wait for him to come up with yet another sidekick costume, and he was sure Kelly was in no mood to join this battle either. But Guy was kept up by the dinner they had with the Manstache. He was still tired, so SheZow was tired too.
The Shehicle had to make constant corrections for the fact that SheZow was nodding off behind the wheel, which was something you're never supposed to do. Every time the wheel jerked on its own or the Shehicle applied the brakes, SheZow got awakened again.
"Oh how can I fight Mega Monkey like this?" she moaned.
"Well," replied Sheila, "This isn't exactly the first time someone tried to beat SheZow by making her fight while she was tired."
"So what she do about it then?"
"Well, she stopped by a convenience store and drank a six pack of energy drinks."
"I haven't got time for that, Sheila."
"That's why there's Super She-tastic Energy Drinks in the back of the glove box now. It will give you a huge energy boost without the caffeine side effects. It's all natural, just the way SheZow liked it."
"Watch the road for a minute while I get one."
"Of course."
SheZow leaned over and pulled the glove box open. She rifled through the contents muttering, "Where are you?" There seemed to be some much stuff stuffed in the glove box.
"We'll be at the site of Mega Monkey's attack in just a minute."
"There you are!" SheZow called as she pulled out a can, "Super She-tastic Energy Drink down the hatch!" She guzzled it down as fast as she could. Her entire body sparked with electricity as she shouted, "I feel powerful!"
"It's lucky the Shehicle is protected against voltage surges," muttered Sheila, "but don't get cocky. That drink counters the exhaustion, but your wits aren't quite up to par. Your body can't be as fast if your mind isn't up to speed."
"Don't worry, it's just Mega Monkey."
"I'm sure he planned for you to be tired now, but don't think he won't notice that your mind is still fuzzy. He'll surely try to use that against you."
"You worry too much."
"You should worry more. Without Maz and Kelly, you have no backup."
"What's the worst that could..." SheZow stopped in mid sentence because she saw that Mega Monkey's monkey minions were no longer 'mini': They were now 'mega monkey minions'. It was like looking at half a dozen King Kong sized monkeys.
"You could have mentioned this, Sheila," muttered SheZow.
"Those ginormous monkeys weren't there just a minute ago," replied Sheila, "I promise my scanners would have noticed something like that."
"I can't go back for help now. Those mega monkey minions will tear Megadale apart by the time I get back. Those banana belching buffoons are going down in downtown!"
"..."
"What? That was the best I could do on short notice."
"Remember, your mind is still sleepy, and Mega Monkey will use that against you. Plus whatever other tricks he has up his monkey sleeves."
"Right, look out for tricks. Got ya."
"We're here," Sheila answered, "I'll park the car myself this time. Just this once."
"Fine. It's about time someone sent Mega Monkey to bed for waking me up like this. By the way, where is Mega Monkey?"
"My scanners indicate that Mega Monkey is on top of the tallest skyscraper in Megadale. It would be logical to assume he's up there to guide his mega monkey minions and keep an eye out for your arrival."
"Logical, Mr Spock."
"Pardon?"
"Nothing."
The Shehicle parked itself as SheZow leaped out to confront the mega monkey minions. Of course, the sound of screeching tires and power brake discs drew the attention of the monkey minions right to SheZow. They didn't look happy to see her... or anyone else for that matter.
"They don't look happy to see me," said SheZow.
"They aren't happy to see anyone," replied Sheila, "Whatever process Mega Monkey used to super size his monkey minions has also super sized their rage. Those monkeys are totally out of control. They'll smash anything that gets in their way."
"Well, that explains why Mega Monkey is on top of a skyscraper. They'd go after him too."
"Good point."
"Heavy Handed Super She-Slap!" Her hand grew to enormous size and she struck at the big toe of the nearest mega monkey minion. The King Kong sized monkey minion looked down on her as if her slap had just made him notice that she was there at all.
"This isn't good!" she shouted as she dodged aside from the pavement splintering fist that cratered the road just where she had been standing.
Mega Monkey glared down from above. "My plan is perfect. SheZow is tired and my mega monkey minions shall slap her into the pavement like a bug. Once she is down and out of the fight, my real plan begins. My revenge begins. Maybe I should partake of evil laughter now?"
"Laser lipstick in punishing pink!" called SheZow as her laser lipstick ignited. She lashed out at the big toe again, but all it did was chip a toenail (which really needed to be trimmed anyways). It made the mega monkey minion all the angrier.
She didn't get out of the way of its other fist in time. When the fist pulled back, she was imbedded in the bottom of a crater made by the heavy monkey fist. "Owwie..." she moaned.
The first fist came in to deliver the final blow.
'Is this the end?' thought SheZow, 'Is this where Mega Monkey wins?' She closed her eyes and waited for the bone smashing crunch... and waited... and waited. Risking disappointment, she opened one eye and exclaimed, "MANSTACHE?!"
Yes, the Mighty Manstache had intercepted the final blow with his mighty mustache powers. It took all of his stache strength, but he stopped the fist less than a foot away from SheZow.
"Never fear, the Manstache is here!"
"I thought you left town already."
"I was leaving, but my mustache of power picked up on the Megadale Police Emergency Band, and I figured you could use my help."
"MANSTACHE?!" called Mega Monkey, "What are you doing here in Megadale? This isn't Smalltownsville!"
"Even Mega Monkey know the Manstache?!" exclaimed SheZow.
"Well he did team up with Big Brain Long Winded Super Genius Monkey Who Talks Way Too Long About Everything," said Manstache, "but I beat them both back with the help of the Really Cute Kids Look Like Dolls With Nasty Super Powers Puffy Girls."
"And you said all that with a straight face?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Never mind."
"It doen't matter!" shouted Mega Monkey, "My mega monkey minions will crush you both just as easily as one of you. I'll get what I want after all."
"Not while the Manstache is here!"
"Mega Monkey has a point. His super sized goons will just..." SheZow paused to just stare as Manstache's mustache turned into 50 foot tall super beefy arms. "Smack us..."
"Don't worry, Miss SheZow!" he called, "The Manstache has fought giants before!"
"Wow... that's impressive..."
"Wow, that is impressive," muttered Mega Monkey, "I didn't know he could do that. Curse that interfering mustache bound creep!"
"Super Stache Seismic Slam!" he called as he grabbed two mega monkey minions and slammed them into each other. The whole area shook with the power of a minor earthquake.
"It's lucky Megadale is built up to the latest earthquake codes," muttered SheZow.
But Mega Monkey wasn't ready to give up on his other plan. He reached down and pulled up a funky high tech super bazooka and aimed it at SheZow while the Manstache was smacking around his mega monkey minions, and SheZow was fixated on watching him.
"This electrified super-sticky goo net will take the fight right out of you, SheZow!" He fired just as she looked around. It was too late to avoid, and too late to deflect. The whole crater was now full of a sticky pink goo net.
"My hair!"
Then the goo became electrified. It shocked her badly.
"Aaaaggghhh!"
The Manstache was too busy to help.
(Insert filler sequences here! She-yeah!)
Mega Monkey Meets the Manstache!
Or Meet the Neighbors!
Episode 2, Part 2
By Neoraichu
SheZow was gooey, shocked and terribly weakened by Mega Monkey's insidious attack. But she still had one thing going for her: Her laser lipstick in punishing pink. She knew it would take time for Mega Monkey to come all the way down from the top of the skyscraper, and she needed that time to cut herself loose. But she was still weak from all the goo in her hair, and if she were zapped again, it may well have all been over for her.
The Manstache had his hairy mustache arms full, so he couldn't help. SheZow just had to get away to get herself back in order. She really hoped that the Manstache could hold out until she got back. But since she was disoriented and her mind fuzzy, she stumbled into an alley in the opposite direction from the Shehicle.
She stumbled about twenty feet into the alley, her ears ringing with the massive slams and impacts of the battle between the Manstache and the mega monkey minions. But she was finished. Falling face first onto the dirty road, she passed out as she changed back into Guy.
...
"Curses!" shouted Mega Monkey, "Where is SheZow?!" The crater was empty but for a few strands of goo. "I should have got the rechargeable shocking pink goo! Curse me for being cheap at a time like this!"
"You aren't done with the Manstache yet!"
"What?" he asked, "Those stupid mega monkey minions haven't crushed you yet?"
"What?!"
"I said, 'Those stupid mega monkey minions haven't crushed you yet?!'"
All the mega monkey minions stopped to look at Mega Monkey.
"Well played, Manstache," moaned Mega Monkey, "Well played."
He slapped a control on his wrist, and the mega monkey minions shrank back down into mini monkey monkey minions.
"Curse you, Manstache, for foiling my perfect plan! I'll get you and SheZow both, I promise!"
"Another hairy situation beaten by... the MANSTACHE!"
Another jab at his wrist caused them all to teleport away.
...
"Hey kid!" shouted someone in Guy's sleep. It sounded familiar. "Hey kid!" Someone was trying to wake him up. "Hey kid! Are you alright?!"
He opened his eyes to find himself looking into the face of Manstache.
"Ohhh... I feel so funky..."
"You're the son of Officer Boxter, aren't you?"
"Uh yeah."
"What are you doing out here so late? Won't your father be worried?"
"It's... it's... it's a long story... okay, it's not so long. Mega Monkey kidnapped me from my own home for some sick reason."
"It's lucky that I was here. SheZow got gooed and zapped good. I hope she's all right... where ever she might be."
"I... hope so too."
"You better bathe when you get home son. That goo is going to take a lot of work to get out."
"Oh..."
"Are you alright? Should I take you to a hospital?"
"No!" he cried, "I'm... I'm fine. Nothing a good bath and sleep won't fix. Just take me home, please?"
"Alright, I'll take you home straight away."
...
"Manstache?!" asked Mr Boxter at the door in his jammies, "And Guy?! What the heck is going on here?!"
"Your son got grabbed by Mega Monkey, but SheZow and I saved him. I asked if he wanted to go to a Hospital, but he insisted I carry him home. He's a good boy, Mr Boxter."
"Where's SheZow?"
"I don't know. She got hurt by Mega Monkey, and I have to go look for her. You take good care of your son, you hear?"
"Of course. As soon as you're cleaned up, you're going right to bed. I'll call school tomorrow and tell them you're sick. We'll take you to the Doctor for a checkup just to be safe. Who knows what that mad monkey has done to you..."
"I just want to fight crime like you, Dad."
"You have to become a policeman first. It has to been done the legal and right way."
"Good night, Mr Boxter. MANSTACHE AWAY!" He leaped away into the night with a boost from his mustache.
"Too bad he isn't a cop," muttered Mr Boxter, "or he would be perfect."
...
Once in bed, Guy spoke into the ring. "Sheila?" he asked "Could you..."
"I drove the Shehicle back hours ago, Guy."
"That great... I'm so tired..."
"Get some sleep. You've earned it."
But Guy was already snoring.
...
Guy awoke to find his mother looking over him. She was leaning over the bed with some bowl in her hand.
"Good afternoon, son," she said brightly, "I know it's a little late for breakfast, but I've made your favorite boysenberry oatmeal anyways. It always picks you up when you're feeling down."
She offered a spoonful.
"Mom," he moaned, "I can feed myself now. Please."
She handed the bowl to him while he realized he was out of line.
"I'm sorry I said that," he added.
"That's all right," she replied, "I sometimes forget you're growing up. I was scared to death when the Manstache brought you home last night. You were all gooey and disoriented. I was... terrified!"
Droosha suddenly hugged Guy and cried.
"I'm all right," he said, "I promise."
"I'm sorry," she sobbed, "I just couldn't hold it all in any more."
"I'm sorry too," he choked, "I don't want to make you worry." He began crying too.
Kelly poked her head in the door, but stepped back without a word.
They cried until it was all worked out of their system, and then she waited until he was done eating. "Thanks mom," he said softly, "You're the best mother I guy could ever have. I love you."
"I love you too," she sniffed. She took the bowl and left. But then Guy heard Kelly and his mother talking in the hall.
"Mom?"
"Yes dear," replied Droosha.
"Maybe Guy could use some fresh air."
"I suppose. Could you go along with him?"
"Sure."
"Where would you go?"
"Oh," she mused, "I heard that someone is moving in to old man Boxer's house down the street today. Perhaps it would do Guy good to meet some new neighbors."
"Well that's just brilliant, Kelly," said Mom, "Please help Guy take his mind off... you know... the..."
"I know."
Kelly walked in as he heard Mom walk away.
"So how much did you hear?" he asked.
"Hear about what?" she asked innocently.
"Oh... nothing..."
"Well get dressed, brother. I'll wait outside the door, okay?"
…
So the two of them walked down the street to meet the new neighbors.
An average looking blonde haired boy with pale skin and blue eyes was standing between the moving truck and the front door. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue pullover sweater. He was holding a clipboard and a number two pencil.
"That box goes in the kitchen. Be careful: The China set is very fragile," he said to one mover, and then to the next, "That box goes in the bedroom." As he talked, he made check marks on the clipboard.
"I can see who's the organized one in that family," commented Kelly.
He shot a sidelong glance as they walked up.
"Hi," said Kelly, "We're neighbors from a few houses down the way. I'm Kelly Hamdon and this is my brother Guy."
"We are not moving in," he said curtly, "We're just here long enough to get Uncle Boxer's house in order and sell it."
"That's a shame," said Guy, "but who are you?"
"If you must know," he replied gruffly, "My name is Gerald Boxer, but most people just call me 'Guy'."
"Some coincidence?"
"Yeah, I'm sure it is."
Just then, a blonde hair blue eyed girl came by on a skateboard. She glanced at the group as she skated by, her blue eyes glinting in the sun as her long blonde hair waived in the wind. Her outfit was blue from head to do, including a blue summer dress, crash helmet and knee pads. She just glowed as she smiled.
"And that's my slacking good time seeking sister, Kelsey."
She easily changed directions as she rolled around the group.
"Dad told you to help," said Gerald.
"I'm not a moving man," she replied, "and you know I can't organize to save my life. If I tried to help, I'd just make a mess of everything... like always."
"Fine," muttered Gerald, "Keep slacking off. See where you wind up in life. I can't cover for your mistakes forever, you know."
"Wow," said Guy, "That's harsh."
"It's only for her own good."
"So," he said changing the subject, "You skateboard, huh?"
"Oh yeah," she replied, "I wanna be a pro like Tony Hawk."
"Don't you mean Lacey Baker?" asked Kelly.
"Her too."
"Hey," said Guy, "I have a half-pipe at my house. Wanna check it out?"
"Awesome!" she replied, "Hey bro..."
"Yeah yeah," he groaned, "If you wanna slack off, you might as well do it at their house. Just be back in time for dinner."
"Right."
After losing sight of Gerald, Kelsey asked, "Is that a SheZow ring?!"
Guy clutched his ring hand self consciously. "Um... well..."
"That's cool," said Kelsey, "SheZow is awesome! I knew she just had to have some dude fans! That is a REALLY good fake!"
"Oh..." muttered Guy, "Very good fake."
"Wait," interrupted Kelly, "Are you wearing a Manstache ring?!"
Kelsey clutched her ring hand self consciously. "Um... well..."
Kelly said, "Manstache is like the manliest of manly men."
"Well," said Kelsey, "He's really strong and he's always respectful to women. I can't think of any woman who wouldn't mind be saved by him."
"That's a really good fake too."
"Oh yeah," she replied, "They sell a lot of these back in Smalltownsville."
"I'm sure they do."
