Now that everyone's back together, they can all set off on a real mission, let's watch and see what lies ahead
When everyone entered the portal, they head inside an ancient secret science lab, which also includes a library, our heroes were just plain amazed
"Wow cool! this must have over thousands of gizmos and gadgets" Tucker exclaimed in surprise
"I couldn't agree more" Techna agreed with delight
Heath was about to see what was inside one of the chemicals, until Penelope and Clawdeen caught him
"Put that down, Heath" Clawdeen demanded
"What? I wasn't gonna drop it, sheesh" Heath exclaimed
Fonty and Carl looked at each other with confused looks on our faces
"Excuse me, Norman, why did you bring all of us here?" Fontlaroid asks
"Patience, all will be revealed" Norman answered
But then, a man at the age of 24 appeared from what looked like a warp gate, this man had a long nose, slick brown hair pointing down on each side, pale skin, and pointed finger tips, his outfit consisted of a long white lab coat, olive-green trousers, and black shoes
"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Prof. Nestor VonChristianstein, and welcome all to the labs of Animation" the young man greeted
"Well, it's nice to meet you, my name's..." Fontlaroid got interrupted
"I know, its Fontlaroid Platypus, and these are your friends; Carl Echidna, Lillani O. Possum, Penelope Kangaroo, and Sandra Koala, Mr. Emu told me all about you fine friends" Nestor answered for Fonty
"So why are we all here?" Carl asked
"Well it's very simple, I've been watching you guys, proving yourselves, fighting for friends, protecting those in danger, those were all tests to prove your inner-strengths" Nestor explained, as he shows the clips of their heroic deeds, plus some comedic moments
"But why would you need us?" Lillani asks in concern
"Because something very dangerous is heading our way, and I can't take it down on my own" Nestor answered with a worried look on his face
"What kind of threat?" Fontlaroid asks
"Well you see, it's far worse than the foes you all have encountered before" Nestor added fearfully
"How bad can it be? compared to our past foes?" Penelope asks with disdain
"Well, it's kinda hard to explain" Nestor answered
"We're listening" Venus said with a smile
Flashback
Twenty years ago, in a far-away civilization, a young man who dreamed of becoming a famous cartoonist, thought to bring life to fictional beings, in order to commit such a spectacular goal, he was to find a long-lost device, known as "The AnthroFilmBlast" a special kind of gizmo, that could bring life to those that are fictional, it was a success, many classic cartoon characters were very overjoyed, one character that's similar to Fontlaroid except his name was Jose B. Platypus, everyone loved him and respected him for all his teachings on comedy and cartoon humor, like surviving a long fall or inflating yourself like a balloon, he got his teachings from five other famous characters who were created by the great Animators that were hired by God; Mickey Mouse the leader of Disney characters and success of Walt Disney, Bugs Bunny the leader of the Looney Tunes characters and success of the Warner Bros, Yogi Bear the leader of the Hanna-Barbara characters and success of William Hanna and Joseph Barbara, and Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber the two leaders of the BigIdea characters and the successes of Phil Vischer, Jose was loved by all, except for one bitter character named Lavernius S. Fox, he was really jealous of all the attention Jose had received, he wanted to get better so bad that he invented a potion that could make Lavernius an even better cartoon character, but there was one flaw, one ingredient was its main source, The Black Whisp, a mixture of the black atom, it's ability to unleash one's dark side, and the whisp, an energy source made of flame that could increase your inner rage and fury. Jose tried to stop Lavernius, but it was too little, too late, when Lavernius consumed the potion, something did change, but in a bad way, he was consumed with envy and lust over power and respect, this ordinary alchemist fox became "Emporer DarkLust". He nearly led waste to the land, but then, the great Animators fused their power stones with the power of God's righteousness, the combination of two was so glorious, that DarkLust's great wickedness wasn't enough to defeat it and he along with his powers got sealed away in a far away dimension, but the citizens also had to pay the price as well, to make sure that pride and envy won't ever take control over cartoon characters again, the AnthroFilmBlast, and the power stones were shattered and scattered all over the separate dimensions where they're never to be found again, plus the cartoon characters were no longer able to exist and were all sent back to their previous state, but were still considered very popular on television, video games, and comic books, all except for Jose, he became a spirit, but was also a forgotten character, along with his unknown descendents
End Flashback
All of the heroes (except Norman and Nestor) were all very amazed yet freaked out about what they've just learned
"And now, DarkLust has returned somehow, and it's up to you to take down this great evil" Nestor finished
"What? No way, I can't do this" Fonty says in a panic
"Why not? You happen to be chosen for the journey" Nestor
"There's no way I could take down something this malevolent" Fonty replies while shivering
"But you won't be alone" Nestor added with a smile
At that moment, Penelope and Bloom walked over to Fontlaroid in agreement
"He's right you know, we're all in this together" Penelope says with confidence
"Well, I guess, but I don't know" Fontlaroid shrugged, but then wanted to ask Nestor something "So I'm one of Jose B. Platypus' descendents?"
"Yes, indeed" Nestor replied
"But what about this book of Animation?" Musa asked while holding it up, Nestor takes observation
"Hmm, I've heard of this book, it happens to be the only copy in existence" Nestor observed "This was created collaboratively by the Animators"
"How do you know all of this, mate?" Lagoona asked
"Well you see, I have been doing my research and calculations, being a mad scientist has its perks" Nestor answered
"You're a mad scientist?" Frankie asks in surprise
"Well yes, but I'm still a good guy" Nestor added
"So anyway, where do you suppose the pieces to the AnthroFilmBlast are?" Sandra asks
"Well I've already found one piece" Nestor said while holding what he had found, it was a roll of film
"I'll bet it was easy finding that" Frankie says with a smile
"Well no, it just slid next to me while I was collecting ice shards from the Omega Dimension to work on my ice beast project" Nestor remarked
"What? You've been to the Omega Dimension?" Bloom asks in shock
"Not for a crime, just for an experiment" Nestor defended
"Well, what was it like?" Stella asked
"Um...it was cold" Nestor answered while raising an eyebrow
"That's it? just cold?" Stella asks again with a confused look
"What do you want from me? a poem? it's a cavern prison made entirely out of ice, it's really frickin cold" Nestor snapped
"Can we please stick to the subject?" Fonty reminds everyone "I'm still not sure about this"
"You have nothing to worry about" Nestor said in a comforting tone
At that moment, he looked at all his friends and allies that all share looks of confidence, which made him warm up a bit and smiled
"Okay we're all in" Fonty said with pride, which made everyone cheer "Alright now, what do we do first?"
"First, I'll need you, Carl, Lillani, Sandra, and Penelope to follow me into my inventing room" Nestor answered
"What about Norman?" Sandra asks in concern
"Trust me, I'll only need you five" Nestor answered
They all enter the inventing room, where lots of gizmos, weapons, and inventions are scattered, on the big table, there were five packages
"Each of these packages contain a special aura that'll merge with your personality" Nestor explained
"Will it hurt?" Lillani asks in a nervous tone
"Nope, not at all" Nestor says with a smile "Carl, you're first, your aura is in the magenta package"
Carl walks up to the table and opens the package, only to see a magenta-colored energy ball, which entered Carl's body, his eyes glowed magenta, then a symbol appeared in the air, it looked like peace sign
"Well Carl, you have received the Aura of Courage, and a special ability" Nestor announced
"What is it?" Carl asked, then he sneezed and shot his hair in random directions like guided needles
"The ability to shoot out your quills like missiles" Nestor answered
"Cool!" Carl exclaims
Lillani went next, her aura was in a chartreuse package, she opened her package and went through what Carl went through, except it was not magenta, it was chartreuse, and her symbol was a star
"You have just earned the Aura of Sincerity" Nestor says, then Lillani's boots were vibrating and she ran across the room at maximum speed, but after five seconds, she stopped
"Woah, what was that?" Lillani asks in shock
"That was your new ability, super speed" Nestor answered
"Really? Awesome!" Lillani exclaims in delight
"This is simply fabulous, I'm next" Sandra says as she walks up to the table, her package was teal colored, she opened it and merged with the teal aura, her symbol was heart-shaped
"You've earned the Aura of Love, Sandra" Nestor says, but then Sandra vanishes
"What the...where did she go?" Fonty asks in confusion, but Sandra reappeared
"Oh, you have the invisibility power" Nestor says
"It could take some time to get use to this" Sandra says as Penelope goes next
Penelope's package was vermillion, as the package opens, the aura went within her, and her symbol was barbell-shaped
"Well Penelope, you've earned your rightful Aura of Strength, along with its similar ability" Nestor says to Penelope
"Oh sweet, now I can rock the ring even harder" she says while pounding her gloves and grinning, Fontlaroid just rolled his eyes
"I guess I'm up" Fonty says while walking up to the table, the final package was colored violet, and his symbol was in the shape of a spiral
"congratulations, Fontlaroid, you've been granted the Aura of Wits" Nestor says with a smile
"Wait, Wits? why Wits?" Fonty asks in confusion
"Because you rely on your brains to fix specific issues" Nestor answered
"Oh, nice" Fonty replied with a smile "So what's my power"
"Spread your blue coat, and you'll find out" Nestor says while turning on the air vents, which nearly blew Fontlaroid away, but it did something else, it caused his coat to carry Fontlaroid into the air, it looked like Fonty was flying, when Nestor turned off the vents, Fonty soared with ease
"Sweet Grapes of Wrath! I'm flying like a hawk! this is too awesome" Fonty exclaims in amazement before he landed safely
"That's right, flight's your ability" Nestor said
And as it turns out, the other heroes were watching them practice their new abilities, they couldn't get any more prouder
"Wow, those guys really had it in them" Jake says in surprise
"Awesome, right?" Draculaura says in glee
"Remember, all those powers can only work in specific situations, so take caution" Nestor advised, then he remembered something "And also, there's some friends who want to see you for a moment"
He turned on his moniters, each of them were contacted from the places they've been, one from Alfea, one from New York, one from Amity Park, and one from Monster High
"Well, this is a pleasant surprise" Fonty says with a smile
"Hello Fontlaroid, it's good to see you again" Faragonda greeted, there were two other people with her, one was Mirta, and one was another teacher
"Oh, I see Mirta is with you as well" Fonty says in a nervous tone
"Yes, but I've explained everything to her" Faragonda informed
"Yeah, but still, sorry about that little accident" Fonty apologized
"No problem, it happens" Mirta says with a smile
"Who's the other teacher?" Fonty asked
"This is Griselda" Faragonda introduced
"Faragonda told me so much about you, and it seems you're quite the character" Griselda greeted in a firm voice
"Thanks...I guess" Fonty states in confused tone, then some other familiar friends appeared, it was the pixies and Kiko
"Hi Fontlaroid, I hope you've found your friends" Lockette exclaims
"Oh, I have, but now we're on an even more important quest" Fonty says
"Hi Lockette, Hi Kiko, it's great to see you" Bloom says with a smile
"Hi Bloom!" Lockette says in a happy tone while Kiko does motions with joy
Meanwhile, Jake Long, Fu, and Penelope were chatting with the folks at New York
"Yo Jakie, what's new on the trip?" one of Jake's friends asks, she looked african and sounded sassy
"We've found Fontman's friends, so now we've got a new mission, Trixie" Jake answered
"Who's the kangaroo?" another friend asked, he was another boy
"Spud, this is Penelope, she took on a darnoc dragon without my help" Jake introduced
"We just wish you the best of luck on your journey" his grandfather replied
Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Lillani were talking to Jazz on the monitor
"How are the parents doing, Jazz?" Lillani asks
"Oh nothing new, they're still chasing ghosts, but still get into messes" Jazz said while rolling her eyes
"Well, I just hope everything works out" Danny replied
Carl and the ghouls were seen talking with Bloodgood
"So how's Clawdeen's sister doing?" Carl asks in concern
"She getting better, she's recovering quite nicely" Bloodgood answered, which made Clawdeen smile
Meanwhile, Sandra was sitting down and having a chat with Morgana and Gosalyn
"So how's Darkwing doing?" Sandra asks in concern
"Still a little bit ashamed, but I have a feeling he'll bounce back" Morgana says while being optimistic
"Well, I must get back to my office, I hope to see you again real soon" Faragonda says
"Thanks, Mrs. F" Musa says back
"Good luck" before Faragonda signed off along with the other supporters that wish the heroes good luck
Everyone got back together and followed Nestor to a huge warp-gate
"What are we doing in here?" Riven asked
"Well, Morgana and I have come to an agreement that Fontlaroid and his friends must travel to other worlds and find the rest of the missing stones and pieces of the AnthroFilmBlast" Nestor answered
"Shouldn't we come along?" Flora asked
"there's far too many of us, it has to be Fontlaroid and his pals only" Techna replied
"Yes indeed, but you will be need in the right time" Nestor added while giving the five main characters different maps from different locations
"What are these?" Lillani asked
"Morgana will explain" Nestor replied
"These maps will help direct you to your destined location to find the right artifacts, Penelope shall head to Townsville, Sandra and Lillani will travel to Trollzopolis, and Fontlaroid and Carl will be at Orchid Bay" Morgana suggests
But she then noticed Darkwing who was feeling better, and was heading up to the rest of the heroes
"Alright fellow do-gooders, time is of the essence" Darkwing exclaims
"I'm glad you're feeling better, my love" Morgana says as she hugs Darkwing
"Glad to be better, Morgana, I'm not gonna let one mistake get in the way of victory" he replies
"Okay, now let's get this show on the road" Lillani suggests
"Right, now everyone, just to let you know, this lab is part of a huge traveling space station with an unlimited population quantity, so feel free to look around" Nestor reminds
"We wish you the best of luck, guys" Bloom says with confidence
"Just let us know if you need us, okay?" Frankie suggests
"Sure thing" Sandra says before she walks up to Norman
"One kiss before I set off?" Sandra asks
"Of course" Norman answered before giving a friendly kiss goodbye
"Alright Lillani, let's go" Sandra says to Lillani when she was hugging Carl
"See ya, Carl" Lillani waved before they went through the warp-gate, making Carl tear up a little and whispered "Be careful", Penelope also bids Fontlaroid good luck while holding his hand
"You'll be okay, right?" Fonty asks in concern
"No problem, I'll be fine" Penelope answered in a friendly tone, before she entered the portal, she looked back at Fonty and smiled
After she went to her location, everyone grinned at Fonty because of that interaction
"Don't say it, let's just go" Fonty said
"Good luck, Fonty" Draculaura says, Fonty nodded in agreement as he and Carl entered the portal
"So, what do we do now?" Cleo asked Stella
"You think there's a spa around this station?" Stella asks as she walked around with Cleo, at that, Bloom just giggled and Clawdeen rolled her eyes
Meanwhile, at the same lair from before, DarkLust was speaking to some very strange-looking creatures while looking into his crystal orb
"They think they'll find the stones and the remaining pieces to the AnthroFilmBlast, but those fools won't stand a chance against my you, my henchmen" DarkLust exclaims "That meddlesome monotreme won't know what hit him, his ancestor, Jose B. Platypus, caused me to become this vile creature, while Fontlaroid continues his crusade of ignorance, I'll shall unleash a thousand furies upon the land, soon, every known character of animation will feel my wrath, and I will take my rightful reign as emperor" he finishes while giving an evil laugh, then joined by his henchmen
"Now then, my spawns of the underworld, GET MOVING!" DarkLust ordered, as the unknown creatures head out in random directions, after they all left, he sat down on his throne and chuckles evilly
"One by one, they will all perish" he finishes with an evil smile
When Lillani and Sandra exit the portal, only to find themselves in a strange forest
"Hey, this is Trollzopolis?" Lillani asks in confusion
"I guess" Sandra replies
But then, five strange-looking bikers in white and pink, riding motorcycles that don't have wheels, but are hovering, were heading towards Lillani and Sandra
"LOOK OUT!" Lillani exclaimed as she pushed Sandra out of the way, and those bikers drive off
"What the heck, they could've killed me" Sandra snapped
"where are they going in such a hurry?" Lillani asks Sandra
"The city of Townsville, a place where chaos used to run rampant, until three super-powered kids were created, and they have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of.."
Hey excuse, sir, I'm narrating this story
"What? Mr. Gidquin?"
You see that young female kangaroo with the boxing gloves, she's one of my protagonists, so if you don't mind?
"Oh sorry, please carry on"
Thank you (clearing my throat), While Lillani and Sandra set out in Trollzopolis, Penelope travels the streets of the city of Townsville, and she is in for a big surprise
"Well done, Mr. Gidquin, that was pretty impressive"
Why thank you, I have done some roll-play and...wait is this thing still on?
"Whoops" turns off microphone
Anyway...Penelope was just looking around the city for one of the stones or AnthroFilmBlast pieces, but with no success
"I really hope this is worth all the trouble" Penelope said to herself, then she heard a roar from behind a few buildings
"Another one?" Penelope exclaims as she turned around to see what made that noise, it was a giant blow-fish beast
"Well, I guess butt-kick-o'clock just came early for me" she said to herself while grinning and pounding her gloves, but then she saw something else, it was three small beings of pink, blue, and green, they looked like kindergarteners
"Woah, didn't see that coming" Penelope said to herself in amazement
While Sandra, Lillani, and Penelope begin their new missions, Fontlaroid and Carl running from a bunch of gargoyles, they were freaking out so bad
"SONOFADUNCE!" Fonty exclaims in a panic
"RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!" Carl repeats in fear
they both hid in a tree-hole, where those gargoyles can't see them, they just kept going, and Fontlaroid and Carl didn't get caught, Fonty was holding his chest in fright, while Carl was quivering
"Oh man, that was so freaking intense" Fonty said to Carl
"Yeah, no kidding" Carl replied
All the sudden, three figures appeared, one was an 11-year old asian girl with a pink highlight in her long black hair, one was an asian boy who was 8-years old, with a shirt that has a fist on the front, and the other was a pit bull, strangely, the asian girl was holding up a glowing stone, and was aiming at Fonty and Carl
"Alright, you two, hold it right there, hands where I can see them!" the asian girl threatened in an unfriendly tone
"Wait...what?" Fonty said in confusion
"Who the heck are you?" Carl asked
"SHE SAID FREEZE! DIRTBAGS" the young boy threatened
"Oh frick-berries" Fonty and Carl said to each other in unison
Well it looks like our heroes set off on a new quest
Who do you think are those people working for DarkLust?
How will our heroes find the artifacts in their locations?
We'll find out next time in "Chapter 11: Trolling on by"
"Remember, you can't have classic without class"
