The Masked Villain
Part 2
(After breaking Dr. Andrewson out of jail, he and Masked Villain, formerly known as Capt. Justice, have returned to Dr. Andrewson's personal and secret lab, since he no longer works for the government.)
Masked Villain: So, what do you have that will finish off Wordgirl?
Dr. Andrewson: I'm not going to use the methods from before, because they don't work. I have to come up with another plan. (He then goes and looks up ways to end the existence of Wordgirl.)
(Meanwhile, after a few more days, Tobey, along with the rest of the Fair City villains, return home.)
(After seeing his mother is home from her business trip, unknown that her son was in Chicago for a villain convention, Tobey decides to pay his girlfriend, Becky a visit.)
Mr. Botsford: (He's home, doing laundry when he hears the doorbell.) Hey Tobey. If you're looking for Becky, she's out with Violet and Scoops.
Tobey: Thank you, Mr. Botsford.
(He then heads for the library and, with luck, he finds her, along with her friends, studying and walks over to her.)
Violet: (She notices him first.) Hey Tobey.
Wordgirl/Becky: (She gets up and walks to the other side of the table and embraces him.) Tobey, I missed you so much. How was the convention?
Tobey: It was rather entertaining. And we met this new villain, Masked Villain. He was a bit on the creepy side though.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, no matter, you're home now and that's what's important. (They then kiss each other.)
Scoops: Aww, aren't they so cute, Violet? No one would know that at one point in time, they used to be bitter enemies.
Violet: I know what you're talking about, Scoops.
(Just then, Eileen comes into the library.)
Birthday Girl: Hey everyone. I have something to give to you all.
Wordgirl/Becky: Hey there, Eileen. So, what's this?
Birthday Girl: An invitation to something special next Saturday.
Violet: Thanks Eileen. So what's this special thing you're doing?
Birthday Girl: Look on the invitations.
Scoops: You're are cordially invited to see Eileen AKA the Birthday Girl next Saturday at the Civic Center perform in a recital. Wow, that sounds nice. May I take pictures of it for the school newspaper?
Birthday Girl: Sure, that's fine. But do you all want to come?
Wordgirl/Becky: That sounds like fun. So what kind of performance are you going to do?
Birthday Girl: That's a surprise. I'm not telling.
Victoria: (She and Hunter have walked in together.) Hey, what's going on here?
Violet: Eileen invited us to see her perform in some kind of recital at the Civic Center next Saturday.
Victoria: Can I come?
Birthday Girl: Sure thing, Victoria. And here's one for Hunter as well.
Hunter: Thank you, Eileen.
Birthday Girl: I have to go home and practice some more. I'll see you all at school tomorrow.
(Later, Tobey, Becky, Violet, and Scoops are alone again.)
Scoops: So, how was the convention?
Tobey: It was good. But I have to tell you something. That new villain I mentioned earlier, Masked Villain?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, what about him?
Tobey: Well, somehow he found out about you, Wordgirl and he wants to come here to destroy you and he was asking all of our villains if we would hire him to come here to do so. Dr. Two-Brains and I told him that we don't need the help. And I think he tried to get Mr. Big and Leslie to hire him and I believe they turned him down as well.
Wordgirl/Becky: Wow, Mr. Big defended me?
Tobey: Sort of. But I want to warn you that this man may still come here and he will attempt to kill you.
Violet: But how would he know about Wordgirl anyway if he's a new villain and he's never been here before?
Tobey: I don't know. Like I said, he was a bit on the creepy side and there was something about him.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks for the warning, Tobey. I'll try to keep my eye out for him.
Tobey: If you want, I can organize a meeting with the Villains' Association and we can discuss this there?
Wordgirl/Becky: I can't go there. I'm not a villain.
Tobey: That's true. How about if I ask Granny May or Mr. Big to allow you to attend the meeting, as our guest? You can bring Capt. Huggyface as well.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, if the villains have no problem with me there, then I'll come. But you'll have to make it two weeks from now. Next Saturday, Eileen is performing in some kind of recital and she invited all of us to attend.
Tobey: Yes, she gave me an invitation as well.
(The week goes by and while Becky and her friends attend class, Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson are busy coming up with some weapons to use on Wordgirl in order to bring and end to her superhero life.)
Masked Villain: So, what kind of weapons do you have here?
Dr. Andrewson: Well, I got the idea of using the toxic chemicals off a poison dart frog from watching the natives of South America use it for their spearheads.
Masked Villain: Do you think it'll kill Wordgirl?
Dr. Andrewson: I don't know. But I do know that it'll, at least, destroy her sidekick.
Masked Villain: And maybe if you destroy the sidekick, she'll surrender and give up, making it easier for us to destroy her.
Dr. Andrewson: And what about those villains of hers? The ones who seem to come to her aide a lot?
Masked Villain: Well, they'll just have to realize that they are villains and that means that they should help me and not worry about that hero of theirs.
(As they continue to make more weapons, that Friday, after school, Tobey goes around to all the villains' lairs and invites them to a special meeting.)
(Tobey then comes to the lair of Granny May.)
Granny May: (She had just invited him in and offers him some refreshments.) So, what's this about, Tobey? I heard that you wish to set up a special meeting.
Tobey: Yes, I want to discuss that villain we met at the convention. Masked Villain. He seemed to be a bit on the creepy side and he asked Two-Brains and I if we would hire him to come and destroy Wordgirl. I don't know about you, but I for one, don't want anyone to destroy her.
Granny May: I see and understand your concern. And he did approach me as well and offered me the same thing. I turned him down as well, but I could see that he wasn't going to take rejection to easily. I agree with you, Tobey. I don't want to see Wordgirl get killed either. She may be a pest at times, but I appreciate her being here as well. She's not one to turn away from anyone who needs help, including us villains. So, is this what the meeting will be about?
Tobey: Yes, and if I can, I would like to invite Wordgirl and Capt. Huggyface as well.
Granny May: Hmmm, I'll talk it over with Mr. Big and I'll let you know. When did you want to have this meeting?
Tobey: Next Saturday will be fine. Tomorrow, Eileen is performing at the Civic Center and she invited all of us to attend.
Granny May: Next Saturday it is.
(The next day, Becky and her friends show up at the Civic Center to watch a special performance recital for Eileen.)
MC: Now, for our next performer. From right here in Fair City, please welcome Eileen!
(Everyone claps and cheers.)
Violet: (Whispers over to Becky.) I can't wait to see what she's going to do.
Wordgirl/Becky: Neither can I.
Birthday Girl: (She walks out on stage and curtsies to the audience.) Hello everyone. I'm Eileen and I'm going to play two of my favorite pieces on the piano!
Scoops: Eileen can play the piano? This I have to take pictures of. (He then takes out his camera and begins to snap photos of Eileen, standing next to the piano and much more, as she goes to sit at the piano and begins to play two classical pieces. One by Mozart and one by Beethoven.)
Victoria: Wow, she's good.
Wordgirl/Becky: Wow, Eileen is talented. Very talented.
Hunter: I love this music and I'm glad to hear that another student can play this music well. My mother wanted me to learn piano, but I decided on the violin.
Victoria: I'm sure you're very good on the violin, Hunter.
Violet: Wow, I bet the composers who wrote those pieces are laying in the graves, proud of her as well.
Tobey: I'm so glad I decided to have the meeting next week instead of this week. This is so good.
Birthday Girl: (After finishing her performance at on the piano, she stands and curtsies to the audience, as they clap and cheer for her.) Thank you all.
(She then heads off stage to make way for the next performer and goes to sit with her friends.)
Violet: That was great, Eileen.
Wordgirl/Becky: It sure was.
Scoops: The school paper is going to get a great review of your performance. I took a whole bunch of pictures.
Victoria: So, when did you begin playing?
Birthday Girl: I began playing when I was about 5 or 6, when my mom and I lived in our old hometown. I never performed for an audience until today, though.
Wordgirl/Becky: Why? You're so good.
Birthday Girl: The citizens of Turnmantown wouldn't let me perform because of my powers. They said that freaks aren't allowed to perform.
Tobey: That doesn't sound fair at all.
Birthday Girl: I know. So, I used that time to perfect my playing. Then when we moved here, I sort of stopped playing for a year. Then I just picked it up again and I'm glad I still remembered those two pieces of music.
Violet: You know what, don't worry about that other town and it's citizens. We here at Fair City loved your performance.
Birthday Girl: Thanks.
Eileen's Mom: Eileen, you did a very good job. Your father would've been very proud of you.
Birthday Girl: Thanks Mom. Well, I have to go home, Guys. See you at school on Monday.
(They all wave to her as they too leave the Civic Center and begin to head home or other places.)
Tobey: So Becky, how about if we go somewhere special? Like the beach?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure Tobey. Do you want me to invite our friends or do you want just the two of us?
Tobey: Just the two of us. I can make us a picnic lunch and all.
Wordgirl/Becky: Sounds fun. See you there at 4?
Tobey: 4:00 sounds good.
(Meanwhile, back in Nevada, the Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson are getting ready to head for Fair City.)
Dr. Andrewson: We're going to need a base of operations, once we arrive.
Masked Villain: That shouldn't be too hard to find.
(With that said, Dr. Andrewson and Masked Villain head for Fair City to set up a base of operations and to destroy Wordgirl.)
(They arrive a few hours later and set up a lair in an abandoned house, that they found.)
Dr. Andrewson: Now what?
Masked Villain: I will go into town and destroy Wordgirl.
Dr. Andrewson: Perhaps you can capture her alive and bring her back here. I have a new weapon for you to use on her. It's a rope laced with the toxic chemicals found on the bodies of dart frogs. You will need to wear gloves to keep from getting sick yourself.
Masked Villain: Very well. (He then goes to put on a pair of black leather gloves.) Ok.
(He then heads into the city, using a black car that was abandoned in a vacant lot, back in Nevada.)
(He then parks his car close to somewhere he believes Wordgirl would be at.)
(Meanwhile, Becky and Tobey are sitting at the beach, having finished their snacks that they brought with them, they decide to walk along the beach, close to the ocean.)
Tobey: Are you having fun?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, I am.
(Meanwhile, the Masked Villain is growing impatient and decides to lure Wordgirl to him, by committing a crime of some sort. He then looks around and sees the jewelry store.)
Masked Villain: Looks like I found the perfect way to get Wordgirl to come to me. (He laughs evilly as he walks into the shop.) Ok, I want you to give me all the jewelry in the store and make it quick!
Reginald: Who are you? I never seen before in my life!
Masked Villain: I'm the Masked Villain and I'm Fair City's newest villain. Now, I want you to do as I say and I don't want any funny business! Got it?
Reginald: Fine! (He then pushes the alarm button, located just underneath the counter.)
(As she continues to enjoy her day with Tobey, Becky hears the alarm at the jewelry store.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Oh Man! I'm sorry, Tobey. But I have to go and take care of this.
Tobey: It's ok. I know you have a duty to help the city. I'll go and clean up.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks Tobey. I love you and I had a great time with you today.
Tobey: Thanks Becky. I love spending time with you as well. Be careful.
Wordgirl/Becky: (She transforms in a hidden place.) WORD UP! I will. (She gives him a final kiss and zooms first to pick up Huggy back at home and together, they zoom towards the jewelry store.) Stop right there, um…Who are you?
Masked Villain: I'm the Masked Villain. And I've been expecting you and your sidekick, Wordgirl.
Wordgirl/Becky: Really? You're the villain that I was warned about.
Masked Villain: I see. You heard of me.
Wordgirl/Becky: Sort of. I heard that you're here to kill me.
Masked Villain: That is right and once I do, I'll be able to take over this city.
Wordgirl/Becky: You do know that there are other villains in this town, right?
Masked Villain: I know, but once they see what I do, they'll be begging me to stay and be their leader. And not only am I going to get rid of you, but also I'm going to get rid of your precious sidekick.
Wordgirl/Becky: You harm one hair on Huggy's little monkey head and you'll be serious trouble!
Masked Villain: Is that so? (He then throws ninja stars at her, but she ducks out of the way.) Grrrr! Stand still, you little pest!
Wordgirl/Becky: Why would I do that? (She continues to dodge his weapons.)
Masked Villain: (He then takes out the rope, laced in dart frog toxins and lassos her with it.) Don't attempt to remove it. For it has dart frog toxins on it.
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm wearing clothes so this won't harm me.
Masked Villain: (He becomes frustrated.) UGH! That's it. (He then hurries out of the jewelry store and she goes after him.)
Wordgirl/Becky: You're not getting away from me, Masked Villain!
Masked Villain: Looks like I am, Wordgirl.
(Wordgirl then zooms after him and she catches and wraps him up.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Looks like I caught you, Masked Villain. Hah!
Masked Villain: That's what you think.
(Just then, she feels a sting on her shoulder, for Dr. Andrewson had just shot her with one of his tranquilizer guns.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She then drops Masked Villain and she then begins to pass out.) What's going on here?
Masked Villain: You, my dear, will never again see another day. (He then unties himself and he places a sack over her and carries her off to his lair, which he shares with Dr. Andrewson.)
(Meanwhile, Capt. Huggyface had crawled away, just in time and had seen his friend/partner get carried off by the Masked Villain and he also believes that he saw Dr. Andrewson.)
(Capt. Huggyface then heads for the roofs of the buildings and begins to follow Masked Villain to see where he takes Wordgirl.)
(Meanwhile, Masked Villain takes the passed out Wordgirl and places her into a cage, made of Lexonite and unlike the Lexonite cage that Mr. Big made, it has no way for her to escape.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She finally wakes up and finds herself still feeling quite weak.) Let me out!
Masked Villain: Sorry, but you're going to stay in that cage for the remainder of your life and hopefully that won't be too long. (He then laughs manically and evilly.)
(Wordgirl begins to get upset and lays down in her cage, feeling sad, but hopes that someone will be able to rescue her.)
(Up on a rooftop, looking down at Masked Villain's lair, Capt. Huggyface tries to see what's going on inside and decides to get a bit closer and looks into a window and he sees Wordgirl looking sad and scared and sitting in a Lexonite cage. He then also sees Masked Villain and another man, in a scientific clothes.)
(Just then the scientist turns around and Huggy sees that it really is Dr. Andrewson and he becomes scared, but decides to go and find someone to help because he knows that he can't take on these people alone.)
Dr. Andrewson: (He had heard a monkey outside and goes to investigate.) Hmm, I thought I heard a monkey out here.
Masked Villain: Perhaps her sidekick is around here. I'll go and look for him. He shouldn't be too hard to capture and once I do have him as well, we can focus on getting rid of them, once and for all.
(Huggy heads for the rooftops of the buildings and heads back to town but is undecided as to where to go to get help.)
(But he must find help or Wordgirl will be destroyed forever.)
The End…
Next…Huggy informs the Villains' Association of Wordgirl's capture…
