"Ah, what an adventure, huh, buddy?" Johnny yawned to his pal laying in the hay, "Scam's and his friends are sure going to have a lot of explaining to do to the police today. Well, we'll probably have a lot of Drones to capture. I wonder if we can salvage anything from the wreck." As the young boy thought to himself many, if not all, of the parents in the cul-de-sac were feeling real guilty right now and had all taken a week off of work to spend as much time as they could partying with their children. Almost none of them could believe, though, that the cul-de-sac had actually been under attack by robots and their supervillain master.
"Jimmy?" Sarah asked as she looked up from her bed seeing the boy who was scavenging the room with a gun in his hands, "What are you doing?" "Shut it!" he said turning around quickly, "Or I blow your head off your pretty little shoulders!" Realizing that this monster couldn't possibly be Jimmy she erupted and shouted, "Get the heck outta my room!" Instead of doing as she commanded her response was a ton bullets through her face leaving her in a bloody heap on the floor next to her previous resting place.
"AAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" the red head screamed sweating like crazy with tears streaming down her cheeks as she awoke from the horrific nightmare. "Another one!" she cried aloud as she burried her face in her funtioning hand, the other had been bandaged up from early that morning.
She had been having horrific nightmares ever since she was forced into bed earlier that day to heal. "Sorry about that." Melon Head said with his face on the floor and his legs out the window, "next time I'll use the door instead of jumping through the window so as not to startle you." "Oh," Sarah gasped, "it's all right, I've just been having nightmares."
And so the girl proceeded to tell the hero about her dreams of Jimmy killing her, various people in Peach Creek flipping inside out as they transformed into Scam Drones, and Peach Creek being replaced by an enormous box city and a huge fortress.
"Wow!" was all Melon Head could say as he listened intently to the tales, "During that final battle early this morning Scam mentioned Edtropolis being rebuilt and the Scam fortress taking the place of the cul-de-sac." "Really?" Sarah asked questioningly, "Don't you ever get sleep?" "Well, yes, I was resting earlier, but I can get in your bed if you don't mind." He replied as he hopped into the queen sized bed.
Immediately he was kicked off as Sarah said, "I do mind." "Oh, darn," he said, "So what have they gotten out of Scam? Anything?" "Nope," she replied looking her nails over, "they never even caught him, he just vanished from the scene as that huge thing collapsed." "What!" Melon Head cried excitedly, "How could he have gotten away! I made sure I beat him to a pulp, he couldn't of escaped! That means I have to go out there and find him again!" With that he jumped out the window and landed in a garbage can as the girl tried to get some "pleasant" sleep.
The hero wasting absolutely no time at all rolled down to the outskirts of the cul-de-sac as he got out extremely dizzily and landed in a heap of robot battering ram parts. "The battering ram! Maybe I can find a clue of what might've happened to Scam here!" he exclaimed exuberantly as he dug his way through the junk.
"What's this?" he asked holding up a disk with swirls on it. "Hey, buddy this looks like the thing the Eds used to hynotyzify you with." He spun it rapidly and looked deep into it and thought he heard a far off voice that he recognized, but just couldn't put his finger on it. He started going into a trance after a little while, but looked away as it started to take extreme affect, "I better take this home."
"I'll be up in my room, mom, just tell anybody that passes by what it said on the note Captain Melon Head gave you!" Johnny 2x4 shouted as he hopped into his basket thing (man, I thought that was one of the coolest in any house you could ever have when I saw it) that carries him up to his bedroom wielding Plank and the Hypnodisk.
He jumped out of the basket, landed on his bed, sprung off it, hit his head on the ceiling, and fell on the floor quite painfully next to his pull out of the wall computer. "Let's see if I have any mail!" he exclaimed as he checked his computer and found two new messages. The first one read:
To: Johnny 2x4
From: EdismyCookiepie
Subject: Urgent
Date: 1 day ago
Priority: Professor Scam's Plans
Hiya Johnny, it's me May Kanker. Now don't get freaked out or anything, but I was just told by some very reliable, now dead, robot that I could reach Captain Melon Head through you. I have found tons of new stuff that Scam's doin'! New Drones, new traps, and worst of all, his plan for the Peach Creek and the entire world! Just upload these things from the thing I put at the bottom. Just to let you know, don't think this is all Scam's doing, he was never this organized and cunning (well maybe cunning) when he was just normal Eddy.
Your new friend,
May Kanker
Disc two: Phase two
"Wow, I guess I should check the next one also." And so after partly downloading the new things onto a disk he checked the next letter as the disk was in progress:
To: Johnny 2x4
From: EdismyCookiepie
Subject: CODE RED!
Date: 7:40 A.M.
Priority: Scam Can't Find OUT!
Hey, it's me again Johnny ol' boy, I heard and saw the news about your big battle this mornin'. I was the one to overide the systems and collapse the batterin' ram by the way; sneaking into the train part, persuadin' my sisters with a knife, an' getting' back out all in time to watch it up front and center ain't all that hard. Anyways, someone, not Scam, is after me right now! It's a dark figure, but I think I'm safe for now. It wasn't a robot, but it didn't look like a normal person neither. Also Kogneto's been after me also, but he' pretty easy to evade and I bet you anythin' that down here at the junkya
And that's how that message ended, it was just cut off. "Well looks like we'll be going down to the junkyard today. Just then another message appeared by someone called Indisguise. He opened it and a screen with a hypnodisk came up.
"AHHHHHH!" Johnny screamed as an unbearable hyper highpitch noise apparrently sounded from it, "MY HEAD"S GOING TO EXPLODE!" Indeed it would have if he had not clicked it away as fast as he could. It left him breathless and the next thing he knew he tucked the computer away, walked a few steps and fainted.
"Oh, my head!" the young boy cried clutching to his pounding head that slowly stopped. "Let's go outside." He told his buddy as he jumped out the window to the ground below, "Hey Jimmy!" "Oh hi," the white haired(?) boy replied as he hurried over to Nazz's backyard, "Oh I almost forgot!" He ran back over to the oversized headed kid and gave him an invitation telling him, "You're invited to a party later in Nazz's backyard honoring the oh so glorious Captain Melon Head for saving us all from certain doom." After saying that in the deadest tone ever Jimmy looked at the card with a glare and went on his way. "I wonder what they'll think when Melon Head himself shows up," Johhny said to himself as he grinned.
Just then he heard a creaking sound coming from the park and ran as fast as he could over to it. The boy gasped as he gazed upon the scene: their stood Slicer looking for something to crush. "Well, it's Melon Time!" the hero said as he flew through the air, putting a Melon on his head and tearing his clothes off revealing his hero clothes.
"Melon Head!" the android gasped while Splinter was smashed into his face from high in the air sending him hurtling into a climber, "You saved me the time of finding you! Now you DIE!" Slicer shot himself like a bullet out of the wrecked structure aiming the lethal claws at the hero only to have him dodge it. "Give up!" he shouted angrily as he threw Melon Head into a huge jungle jim.
"Oh…" he moaned picking himself up when the villain busted through the metal frame of the climbing place and sliced his claws violently. SHING! Melon Head dodged allowing the claw to slash through a metal support beam. 'I gots me an idea!' he thought to himself dodging another lethal blow and letting it slice another beam in two, 'I just gots to outsmart the bucket o' bolts.'
"Stand Still You COWARD!" the robotic humanoid yelled with his eye glowing red and his claws extending further and further. SHING! Another slice missed as he let his claws grow so long that they almost touched the ground. SLASHHHH! "Gotcha…"
Indeed he had managed to finally hit his target and exactly where he wanted to, the head. The melon immediately burst upon impact and sent Johnny flying backwards into a huge pole nearly knocking him out cold. "And now to finish you!" the monster exclaimed through its huge claws at the opponent only to have him roll between his legs to the other side of the jungle jim as he slashed out another support beam and hear him say, "No, now to finish you!"
Just as the boy said that Slicer turned around only to see his nemesis bash out the last four support beams all at once with his foot. "Aw, not cool…" the robot said in his scratchy voice as the structure caved in on him and Johnny hopped out of the way.
"RARRRRRRRR!" the villain said as he levitated and let out a huge blast sending the metal bars flying in all directions. Jonny dodged every one of them only to have Slicer slash his mighty claw into his chest. "Argh…" Johnny moaned as he mustered all of his strength to get up only to be knocked down again. "Stop…" he groaned getting up again and dodging the vicious beast's onslaught and landed a kick on his back.
"You! Slash smash!" Slicer shouted as he performed a new attack. "What on earth!" Johnny cried as he dodged and the slide on the playset Slicer hit shattered like glass. "Now let's see what'll happen if it touches you!" Slicer exclaimed as he ran so fast hovered above the ground for a bit.
"Yikes!" the bald kid cried out as he did the limbo below his opponent's hand, grabbed it, and threw him in the opposite direction. Just then huge aircraft blasted a lazer down zapping Slicer into it. Predictably the craft had a dollar sign on the side of it. "SCAM!" Johnny cried in shock as he ran off.
"Rolf is pleased!" the foreign boy exclaimed sweating from every pore while he looked at his newly fertilized vegetable garden. Ever since last night when he told his nana how he brought down many a metal men she had let him have his own little garden/farm in addition to the family one they all took part in.
Just then an immense shadow fell across the yard as the boy looked up and his eyes grew the size of dinner plates. A humongous aircraft was traveling rather quickly overhead with a big dollar sign on the side of it. "Scam!" he gasped as he ran into his house, "Rolf can't believe he survived! Rolf must Wrn the others!"
Just then a large capsule burst through the ceiling. It hissed loudly and slid open revealing the newly polished Drone inside. The son of a shepherd stepped back in actual fright as it approached glistening in the bright sunlight. Rolf's mind was the only thing working as his opponent produced a lazer ball and fired it at him. Everything went dark.
"Mission complete sir," a robotic voice told its commander on the other end, "The helper is disqualified." "Great," replied a young boy from some backyard hidden in shadows, "The Profs. Final plan is commencing, we must be ready. It's a miracle Double-d was able to make you kind of new drones. Can't talk now, the aircraft is heading to the woods and I have to be their to greet his majesty. Talk later!" With that, the boy in black headed towards Ed's backyard.
"Come on buddy," Johnny told his wooden friend as they rode backwards on their scooter towards Nazz's backyard, "We can't let a party for Captain Melon Head happen without him being their!" "Come on in-wahh!" Nazz cried as the bald boy nearly ran her over. "Whoa, far out ride!" Johnny exclaimed laughing falling in the grass, "Hey Sarah!" The redhead was standing over the strange boy, "Hey, me and Jimmy are going camping in the woods tomarrow and wanted to know if you could come. And by the way have you seen Rolf?" "I don't think I can come, and no, I haven't seen Rolf. Thought he might be here." Johnny replied. "Oh, no, no ones seen him all day." Sarah told him as she turned her attention to the party. 'Great' Johnny thought, 'Rolf's missing. It must have something to do with Scam!'
"Well, I need to do something," Johnny told them as he marched into Nazz's house, "that everyone will enjoy." He wasted no time in stripping himself so that his hero clothes could be seen, placed a melon on his head, and leapt into action. "Fellow citizens of the cul-de-sac!" the hero shouted from atop the blond girl's roof, "I shall forever be here to protect you!"
At this all the people except Jimmy toasted to Captain Melon Head with cups and let out cries of cheer and joy. As he leapt down he was greeted by a big hug from Sarah for saving her the night before and handed him a note. "Uh, thanks?" Melon Head told her as he pocketed the piece of paper, "Have anymore bad dreams?"
She nodded her head with a worried look on her face and said, "A new one too." "Really," he asked sitting down at a chair, "Like what?" "Well," she began, "There were knew kinds of Drones, ones that could go super fast, ones that could transform, and ones that ate metal. There were many more, but I can't remember them all. Anyways, they were all wandering the streets of Edtropolis as I sneaked past a car and leapt into a sewer. One of them saw me and yanked me up when you showed up and beat the living daylights out of it with Splinter. Then a huge aircraft appeared over head and dropped five canisters around you opening to reveal the new Drones inside. All you could do was pick me up and run as they chased us. All of a sudden Slicer appeared, but one of the new Drones demolished him in two seconds flat. Just then Rolf appeared, turned inside out, and revealed himself to be a Rolf-Drone. You slammed him into a cardboard building. I ran to safety but you stayed to fight RD. After a while I saw RD combine with another Drone and knock you out. The next thing I knew I was in the woods and it was the present. A huge Drone smashed its way through the ground towering over three miles tall. It looked down at me and fired a lazer and everything went red as I awoke sweating."
"Hmm…" the hero murmured looking at the red-head intently, "What about Professor Scam though?" "Well he-" the girl began, but was taken away by her best friend, Jimmy.
All of a sudden Nazz screamed as an explosion engulfed her house. Stepping from the flames a dark figure held up a large barrel shaped weapon and fired once more. Everyone ran for their lives as Melon Head sprang into action.
The weapon glowed with red veins and projected another explosive object once more just barely missing the hero in green and hitting the pool in back. Krack! Splinter's mop part shattered into little, well, splinters as it hit the obviously armoured body of this new foe. "Uh oh…" was all he could say when the tall figure picked him up by the neck and threw him into the air, "This is gonna hurt!"
KABOOOOOOM! The flames of the next explosion licked at the Captain's incinerated body as he fell to the junkyard not breathing.
"Come on snap out of it," a voice said. "Who the heck are you?" Johnny asked the blackness surounding him everywhere. "People need you, we must help them, it's our duty!" the voice shouted at him. "Tell me who you are." Johnny said calmly. "I am the one who needs your body to function, I am part of you, your alter ego. I am Captain Melon Head!" the voice exclaimed as a light flickered on revealing the great hero, "Without you I could not have been created and without you I shall die." "What!" Johnny shrieked as he tried to clutch his friend, Plank, who wasn't there tighter to his chest, "explain!"
"My birth began the day you saw how corrupt the world could be, but that was just a small fraction of it when you saw Edtropolis. Plank ran off without you and you were left all alone so your subconcious created me to aid you in your quest to retrieve the only friend you had. In the end, we achieved our goal, but it wasn't enough, I then encouraged you to right every wrong you came across. All I did was suggest things, though, you were the one who decided to check out the ed's scams much more from there on out and see how you could stop them from happening. And thus, you finally put me into true action when you stopped Eddy's thing-a-majig scam and in the process, made your arch-nemesis, Professor Scam. This rivalry has gotten out of hand and exploded into an all out war with bystanders suffering. But now you are dying and flames are eating your life away."
"Wow, so you're not like my conscience or anything?" Johnny asked, "Wait! I'm dying!" "Yes," replied his other form solemly, "That is why I have decided to givie up my life for yours." "WHAT!" "Well, you see, when I was created it basically gave you a backup life in case something like this were to happen. It's sort of spiritual or religious or something, really hard to explain. Really, what I'm going to do is fuse us into one being. So you'll be more than just Johnny now, you'll also be the true Melon Head! But if something like this were to happen again I'm afraid I won't be able to help."
"Woah, hold the phone buddy." The boy commanded to the hero, "How do I know I'm not just dreaming this all?" "You don't, believe what you want." Captain Melon Head replied offering a smile before disappearing into the void of Johnny's soul as bright, vibrant colors filled the boy's view.
Taking a long deep breath he got up looking around everywhere at his surroundings. Heaping piles of trash and junk, musty air, and a long creek. He was alive and well with hardly any pain at all and he knew exactly where he was, the junkyard. "I'd better not slip up again." He told himself as he wrapped up the broken part of his sidekick and began trecking through the filthy wasteland while a hypnodisk was left in the crater his corpse had made, "We have to finish Scam for good!"
And so I'm back and with more. Sorry if the little thing about Captain Melon Head and Johnny talking to eachother at the end doesn't suit you people, but I had to make up something to fill in more space cause I'm trying to make longer chapters now. The war is only half over and Melon Head as well as you people I hope will have a great surprise with this new "season". I've had it all planned out for a few years now. Sorry I didn't really answer much of anything, but the one known as Kogneto is to play a major plot in this story and Melon Head will hopefully come face to face with him sometime. As for now, see you all in the next chapter!
