As the Toys glanced at the 2 Dexters, Dexter #2 proceeds to let Stan back on his feet as he threateningly approached Dexter, pointing a finger at him.
"You again?! Are you trying to interfere with this mission?!" Dexter #2 angrily said.
"Hey, I'm just here to save my friend, who is looking good by the way." Dexter said, angrily.
"Alright, hold on, what's going on?!" Stan asked.
"It's simple, really, I can explain." Dexter said.
"No, I can, because I am Dexter!" Dexter #2 said, angrily.
"I am Dexter!"
"I am Dexter!"
"I am Dexter!"
"I am Dexter!"
"Which one is Dexter?" Sidney asked.
"I am!" Both Dexters angrily said.
"Don't listen to this carbon copy, he's been created by Mandark to fool you!" Dexter #2 said, right before Dexter took his copy's glasses and threw them to the other side of the room, which causes Dexter #2 to panic and hurry over to the side of the room as the others look bored. Dexter shows his foot, the one that has Danny's DP logo on it. The toys immediately recognize Dexter as they greet them with a warm welcome.
Dexter #2 raises an eyebrow as he places his glasses back on. "What in the name of Einstein is going on?"
Dexter then said, "It's a Code 020407."
"You mean..."
"Yes..."
"And that Mountain Boy is..."
"Yep."
Dexter #2 gasps as he runs over to Stan and kisses his hand, saying in a embarrased manner, "Your majesty, I had no idea, forgive me."
"Okay, that's one problem solved, slick." Tony then said, relieved.
"But what about Stan?" Courage then said.
"We need to get him outta here. That England Museum is going to place him on for display!" Reese then replied.
"I got it under control, guys, in fact, I wanted to go!" Stan laughed, but then, his friends gasp in shock. They wasted all this time to rescue him and he wants to go?!
"What are you babbling about?" Dexter said.
"I'm this rare Stan Marsh doll from the show, "South Park"! You've already met the South Park gang."
Everyone was confused, what was Stan talking about? Dexter had his own show, but he hasn't heard of South Park before.
"Come on!" Stan said, chuckling. "South Park? You've never heard of it?"
Wendy turns the TV on showing some clips from South Park. Danny and Dash's toys watch, puzzled and a bit surprised. "See? That's him!"
"Well, that explains a lot." Leonard then said.
"My show was a national phenomenon that has a lot of merchandise! Oh, you should've seen it. There was a record player and a yo-yo, and the best part, my show won Emmy Awards!" Stan said, excited. "Can you believe it, Dexter! I was star!"
"Was..." Courage dryly said, rolling his eyes.
"Marsh, stop this stupid foolishness and let's go." Dexter said.
"Aw, Dex..." Stan sighs as he spoke. He continued, "I can't go. I can't just abandon these guys. They need me, so that they'll get into this museum. Without me, they're heading into storage again, maybe for good this time, dude."
"You are not a collector's item, Stan Marsh. You are a child's plaything." Dexter said, getting irritated. Then he proceeded to raise his voice as he spoke, "You...Are...A TOY!" Ironic, since Stan used those words to try to convince Dexter he was just a toy during Dexter's Deluded days.
"For how much longer?!" Stan snapped. "One more rip, and Danny's done with me! And what do I then, Dexter? Huh?! YOU TELL ME!"
"Somewhere in that padded stuffing is the toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're loved by a kid. And I traveled all the way here to save that toy because I believed him." Dexter said, remembering what Stan went through to save Dexter from an explosive fate.
"Well, you've wasted your time." Stan said, angrily turning his back on his friends.
"Woah, dude." Kyle then said, stunned by this.
Dexter couldn't believe what he was hearing. Stan helped him accept being a toy was better than being a Toon Ranger when he had to learn the hard way that he was just a toy, and now Dexter's in the other role, and Stan isn't even trying.
"We're heading back." Dexter then said, disgusted.
"What about Stan?" Sparky asked.
"He's not coming." Dexter said.
"But, Danny will be home tonight!" Arlo then said, concerned.
"Well, we better make sure that we're there for him." Dexter said, feeling betrayed by Stan.
Dejected, Dexter and the others headed back to the vent to elevator. Dexter was going to miss his friend, even if he did become inconsiderate. Sparky stood there, and gave Stan a sad look before he left.
Stan cringed. It was the same look everyone had when they thought Dexter was killed by Stan, resulting in the toys losing faith in him until Stan convinced his friends of his innocence once Dexter was saved. But now, it feels like he's doing it all over again.
"I don't have a choice, Dexter. This is my only chance." Sherman said.
"To do what, Stanley Marsh?" asks an angry Dexter. "Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life." The vent was closed by Dexter in an angry manner as he left.
Stan's expression goes from sadness to surprised shock. Sure, he'll last for decades in a museum, but it won't be the same. Dexter did have a point. Even though Stan will be adored by generations of kids, without a child's love, it's just…empty love.
In a way, Stan's relationship with Danny is almost like that of a parent. As parents, many people often look at their child as they grow up, and can still remember just yesterday when they were still learning to talk, or riding their first bicycle. And like all parents, there will come a time where your child will become an adult, and leave you to pursue their own goals and dreams in life.
Cartman laughs as his box was pushed over to Stan.
"Dude, that was totally awesome! I thought they wouldn't leave!" Cartman laughed.
"That was a little bit of a low blow, wasn't it?" Kyle asked, concerned.
"Don't remind me." Stan sadly said. Then, a familiar song played on the TV as TV Stan was playing a song.
TV Stan: You've got a Friend in Me,
You've got a Friend in Me...
Stan started to walk over to the TV, wanting to be alone.
"Stan?" Cartman asked, but the mountain boy ignored it as he listens:
TV Stan: You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me.
Stan sits on a roll of tape, and starts to mope around, that is until he sees a boy by the name of Charlie Brown. This gets the boy toy's attention as he raises an eyebrow. As the TV stan continues singing, Charlie Brown hugs him.
TV Stan: Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too, maybe...
As the TV stan continues singing, Charlie Brown hugs him.
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you, boy
Stan's eyes widen as he remembers when Danny did that. He looks at his shoe as he wipes off the polished paint, with the DP Logo still there.
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny...
"What am I doing?" Stan mumbled, realizing that the fear of being abandoned made him forget a lesson he told Dexter: A toy holds more value to a kid than an icon because it's better to be loved than to be remembered or admired. Not that those are bad things, but what good is having so many fans worship you if you don't feel a single strong connection to them?
Getting up, Stan runs to the vent as he shouts, "Dex, dude! Dude!"
"Stan, where are you going?" Cartman asked.
"You have a good point, Cartman. One day, Danny will grow up and will be more unique than the other guys. But I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"What?!" Cartman yelped as Stan opened the vent.
"Dudes!" Sherman excitedly called out.
Luckily, Dexter was within hearing range. In fact, all of the toys heard that, they all lightened up.
"Yes?" Both Dexters asked.
"Change of plans! We're coming with you guys! I just have to take care of something real quick!" Stan then said, heading back to get the others.
Then, Stan's friends cheered in excitement, their friend is coming home after all!
"Way to go, Mountain boy." Dexter said, relieved that Stan came to his senses before it was too late. He just knew he would get it eventually.
"Hey, guys!" Stan said, running up to his friends. "All of you, come with me!"
"WHAT?!" Wendy asked, this was all so sudden.
"Danny will play with all of us, even Bobby Hill would know that." Stan said, smiling. It will be a while before Danny grows up into the ghost child we all know in love.
"Stan..." Wendy said, remembering the feeling of being abandoned, and does she really want to go through being outgrown again? "I dunno."
"Wouldn't you give one more day just to be with Maddie?" Stan said. "C'mon, this is what it's about, Wendy, to make a child happy, and you and the others know it!"
"Dude's got a point." Token then said.
"Yeah." Kenny muffled.
"I'm in!" Butters then said, laughing.
"Good." Stan then said, smiling.
"I'll go get Cartman." Kyle then said, turning Cartman's box...only to see Cartman isn't there. The toys are confused, where could've he gone off to?
Suddenly, a metal clanging noise is heard as the toys turn around, only to see a certain fat boy toy using a plastic axe to tighten the bolt to the point where it can't get unscrewed to free the vent again!
"What the-?" Craig yelped.
"Cartman?!" All the girls said, surprised.
"You're out of your box!" Stan said, shocked. During his time here, Cartman has never been out of his box. As Cartman finishes up screwing the bolt, he walks over to the TV.
"I've tried being reasonable, Stan. But you've kept forcing me to take extreme measures." Cartman said, turning off the TV, Stan then thought about what he just said and what happened last night. Which could only mean one thing!
"Wait a minute!" Stan then said, "You turned on the Television last night, not Wendy!"
"Look, we have an eternity to spend in London, you guys. Let's not stand around playing the blame game, shall we?" Cartman said, annoyed as he heads back to his box.
"Cartman, you...you back stabbing...! You're really a big jerk, aren't you?" Kyle said.
"Cartman, this is too far, dude!" Clyde then said, feeling betrayed.
"He's right, this isn't fair or cool!" Wendy said, irritated. Cartman angrily glares at Wendy.
"KEWL?!" Cartman angrily roars. "I'll tell you what's not cool! Spending forever in a Dime Store on a shelf, watching every other toy get sold! And the years in storage didn't do so much either! But now, my waiting has paid off, and no hand me down Mountain Boy doll, is gonna disrespect MAH AUTHORITAH!
Cartman huffly and satisfactorily threw his box into the suitcase. Kyle angrily glares at Cartman.
"DEXTER!" Stan yelped. He runs to the vent, but is unable to get it opened.
"It's too late, dude!" Cartman said. "That silly Dorkster ain't gonna help you."
"His name is Dexter, fat boy!" Stan angrily said.
"EY! I'm not fat, I'm big boned!" Cartman angrily said, as he got into his box and closed it. "I always hated those space toys that are advanced."
"It's stuck! Oh, hamburgers, what do we do?!" Butters yelped as he panicked.
"Should I use my head?" Arlo then said. Then the toys heard footsteps as they knew who it is.
"Mr. Pines!" Craig then said, then the South Park Toys headed towards their suitcases and went limp. Mr. Pines went into the room and closed the suitcases as he said, "Don't have time to shower, I gotta get my one way ticket out of this dumb town!"
The toy collector grabbed his suitcases as he laughs, getting out of the apartment. Stan is on his way to the museum, and worse yet, he doesn't wanna go this time!
"Quick! The elevator!" Dexter said, the toys ran as fast as they could. Dexter nearly lost his life a year ago, at least he's not going to let a friend get away from him!
As they ran, they stopped as they reached the elevator, only for them to hear a familiar laughter, it's Mandark.
"Well, well, well, Dexter. We meet again, for the last time!" Mandark laughed.
"MANDARK?!" Dexter #2 angrily said. Mandark aimed his blaster at the deluded Toon Ranger.
"Watch out! He's got an Ion Blaster!" Arlo said as he cowered in fear, but all Mandark shot were plastic balls. The 2 trying to "blast" each other, or punch each other. The punching part was more effective, though.
As the old man enters the elevator, he hears some noise coming from above, he shrugs it off and decides to ignore it.
Meanwhile, Dexter and the other toys were trying to help Stan escape.
"Quick, get on!" Dexter exlaims as he slid down to the elevator. The others slid down while Dexter #2 kept fighting Mandark. Arlo stays where he's at in the tunnel, looking scared. He doesn't want to jump. It looks scary.
"The Emergency hatch! Come on!" Dexter said, seeing the emergency hatch nearby.
Arlo, meanwhile, hesitated, and then he finally jumped down. He fell very fast until he painfully landed on Courage, causing him to break into pieces. Arlo groaned in pain.
Meanwhile, Mandark was looking for Dexter #2, shooting like mad. Seeing some metal bolts and screws nearby, Dexter #2 grabs them and begins throwing at the villain toy. Mandark blocks the attack but he gets hit by one. Dexter #2 hid to dodge and gets ready to open fire. To his surprise, Mandark seems to have disappeared.
"Huh?" Dexter #2 asked.
Suddenly, his question was answered as Mandark jumps from out of nowhere, grabbing him by the collar.
"Hurry!" Dexter said, frightened.
"But Dexter is in peril!" Arlo said, terrified.
The heroes opened the emergency hatch as they saw Mr. Pines impatiently waiting.
"Wanna hear a joke?" Mr. Pines said to the bellboy, ignoring the fact that the bellboy said nothing, Mr. Pines continues, "Here it goes..."
Back to the fight: Mandark knocked Dexter #2 down as the Deluded toy breathed heavily in exhaustion.
"Surrender, Dexter. You've lost." Mandark then said.
"I'll never give in. Drakken killed my father!" Dexter #2 angrily said.
"No, Dexter. Drakken is your father." Mandark said, surprising Dexter #2.
Horrified, Dexter #2 yells, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Back in the elevator, Mr. Pines was getting really impatient as he said, "Come on, can't this thing go any faster?"
He didn't noticed a slinky dog being held by other toys to reach for Stan, who managed to open the suitcase.
Back to the fight, Dexter #2 was about to be finished off.
"Dex, you've beaten Mandark several times in the past! You always believed in yourself!" Arlo said.
"Prepare to die!" Mandark said, laughing.
"I can't look!" Arlo yelps. He then turned around, eyes shielded. However, his tail whacks Mandark and makes him fall into the darkness.
"You did it!" Dexter #2 said, surprised.
"I did?" Arlo said, then he said in realization, "I did! I'm defeating Dr. Drakken!"
Eventually, Sparky lost his grip on Stan as Cartman pulls him back in to the suitcase and all of the toys fell into the elevator. Stan Pines went through the automatic door, and it started to close, fortunately, Courage ran for the door and the toy dog stopped it in its tracks, and then, the toys proceeded to pursue the man!
"Dexter! Aren't you coming?" Dexter asked his counterpart, who was going near the parking lot of "Pines' Toy Shack".
"Sorry, but I gotta place this monster back where he belongs." Dexter #2 replied, dragging Mandark by the tie, and getting close to the entry.
"Farewell!" Dexter said, smiling.
The toys watched Evan and his dad made it to his car. They had to keep up with the guy somehow.
"How are we supposed to save Stan now?!" Arlo said.
"Anyone up for a Pizza?" Stinky asked, pointing to a Pizza Spaceport car. That should do it!
