Darkest Blight: Part 2
Epilogue
It had been over a week since Fartor and Kid Rot were defeated and inside the Gaglab our two veteran Grossologists stood by the lab's entrance. Both were smiling at what they were seeing.
"This is going to be great Abby. We won't be a dynamic duo anymore but an entire team. Honestly, I couldn't have picked better teammates myself." Ty exclaimed, clearly enthusiastic about the future.
Abby was leaning against a wall with her arms crossed over her chest. "That's true but the new recruits are still unexperienced and undisciplined." She pushed herself off the wall to stand by her brother's side, placing one arm atop his shoulder. "So it will be up to us to lead them, train them and set the example."
Ty smirked. "So we'll still be a dynamic duo."
"Of course we will." Abby replied. "We'll just be a dynamic duo plus three."
"Sound good to me." Ty said as they kept smiling.
What Ty and Abby was smiling at was the three new Grossologists inside the Gaglab. Chester, Naomi and Andy all stood lined up next to one another, like army recruits awaiting inspection with their backs straight, their chests out and their hands held behind their backs.
Now they wore their own personalized slimesuits. Andy's slimesuit was white. Naomi's was magenta. Chester's suit was gray but it was of a shade so dark it could very well be black. In front of them stood LabRat in his blue slimesuit. As usual, Hermes sat dutifully on his shoulder.
"Listen up." LabRat spoke up. "This is not going to be easy for any of you. Being a Grossologists means being fit both physically and intellectually. We are both scientists and secret agents. In one way or another I will make you sweat. You might even piss your pants a little but don't worry," he smirked a bit, "we are after all experts at those kinds of things."
The three new Grossologists giggled at the joke.
"Okay, who wants to learn how to operate a Goopshooter?" LabRat asked.
"I want too." Naomi cried out enthusiastically.
"Me too." Chester said.
"I can do it!" Andy shouted cheerfully.
And so, a new era of Grossology began. For Ty, Abby and LabRat it was like a new beginning but for Naomi, Chester and Andy it was more like the first day of the rest of their lives.
ENDING SONG: HEROES (WE COULD BE) – ALSESSO.
Author's Note:
That's it folks, the first arc of season 3 is finally done. There are still plenty of stories/episodes to come. Overall I recon there will be around 20 episodes but I haven't figured everything out yet so there might end up being a lot more than that.
The main goal of this series (other than having as much fun as possible) will be to flesh out the characters and explore things that the show never got to. Like why do LabRat have Agoraphobia and how did he become a Grossologist in the first place? How has all those years of loneliness affect Chester and how will he deal with a fractured psyche now? And why is Abby such a perfectionist?
I also want to go into the history of the bureau. How did it get its start and what kind of Grossologists existed before Ty & Abby? And yes, there definitely was Grossologists before Ty & Abby, Lance Boil was one of them.
Which brings me to the villains. Now when there is six Grossologists working together they will be more powerful than ever which means that the villains needs to get stronger, otherwise it won't be very interesting. So for season 3 almost all villains will be getting upgrades. Fartor for instance will return in his big mecha-suit and we'll see what I can come up with for the other bad guys.
I can definitely say that I've never had as much fun at writing a story as I had writing this one and that's mostly due to the characters. When the Grossologists stays in character it's easy to predict out how they will react to the situations which makes it easier to write and it flows all the more natural. Another thing that helps is the new writing techniques I've learned. These new techniques (new to me only) allows me to write stories that are more complex, more logical and keep stuff like themes and smaller plot threads more relevant.
So tell me, what did you think of Darkest Blight and what else do you hope for in season 3? As always I'll appreciate your feedback.
