Cartoon Lanterns Unite!
Chapter 14
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Greed sat there while Heloise paced in front of him. Right now they were on a desolate moon for privacy and to keep them hidden from the other corps. "Now let's get down to business."
"Which I still think is too much, even for me." she admitted.
"Yes, but do this and you'll have everything you've ever wanted."
"I can't just make an entirely NEW robot army! I found the manhunters and just activated them!"
"Then I'll provide you the Materials needed!"
"Oh? Where?" she frowned crossing her arms.
"You'll see soon enough."
She groaned as he stood up. He flew off. "Hey! Wait for me!" she flew up after him.
(Meanwhile with the Heroes)
The green lanterns were flying through space.
"Are we there yet?" Dodgers asked.
"No." spoke June.
"Are we there yet?"
"No." spoke Danny.
"Are we there Yet?"
"No!" spoke Jake.
"Are we there yet?" That got him a punch from Garnet. "Okay, let me know when we get there!" He said in pain.
"You'll know when the signal tells us." spoke June. That's when her ring Beeped. "We're here."
"Finally!"
But then they started flying down towards a planet covered in ice.
"So this is where the Signal came from?" Jake Said.
"Yup." she replied with Dodgers shivering.
"So June any Way of knowing which way is the Signal?" Cory said.
"Just let the ring lead us." she spoke raising her hand and waved it before the beeping got stronger in a direction. "This way."
They followed her. The gems were Taking the frigid Winds like a Boss. Dodgers and Jake though looked like they were freezing from the chattering and shivering. Danny was slightly Bothered, but due to him having Cryokinesis he was Fine. June shivered a little, but kept focus and ignored the winds. Cory had used his ring to Make a Parka. El Tigre had to push forward to keep from falling over due to the wind.
They stopped when they saw June Land.
"This is the spot."
They Landed and searched the Area.
"I-I-I-I-I D-D-Don't s-s-s-s-see a-anything." stuttered Dodgers.
"Y-y-y-y-yeah me Either!" Jake said.
June frowned and walked around with the signal staying strong. "It should be...GUYS I FOUND THE SIGNAL!"
"Isn't it right here?" asked El Tigre.
"Just come on!"
All of them followed her.
June used her Ring to Start Digging.
"Underground?" asked Pearl.
"Looks like it." Garnet said.
"Then let's dig!" cheered Amethyst before changing into a mole and started digging.
Danny cracked his Knuckles and used his ice powers to clear away some of the Snow.
El Tigre started using his claws.
Jake entered his Dragon form and took a Deep breath of Fire. He melted the ice while Corey tapped his chin on what to make.
He snapped his Fingers and used his Ring to create a Snowplow. He climbed in and started it with the others standing back. "Time to Plow some Powder!" He drove it forward and pushed some of the snow away with the others resuming their parts.
After 20 minutes of Digging they found their target. It appeared as a large metallic sphere.
"Whoa!" Manny said.
"The signal is coming directly from this." spoke June. "Pearl, can you make a hole in it?"
"I can Try, but I make no promises." Pearl brought out her spear and started hitting it against the shell.
"Come on P, hit harder!" Amethyst said.
Pearl gritted her teeth as the spear kept making a loud sound with each hit.
"Uhh Guys?" Corey said trying to get their attention.
"Not right now." spoke Amethyst who tried whipping the sphere while Pearl kept stabbing at it.
"Guys!" Corey said.
"What!"
He slid down the Hole and pressed a Button that opened the Pod.
"Well we loosened it." remarked Amethyst.
Steam exited out of the Pod as Corey and the Gems stepped Back.
"Be ready for anything." spoke the asian girl in a ready stance.
The steam stopped, but nothing came out of the Pod.
"It's a dud." spoke Danny.
"I think we should go in and Check it out." Dodgers said.
"You want to go inside?"
"Yeah, it might be warmer than out here."
"That's the smartest thing you've ever said." Manny said.
"Well I wasn't promoted to a captain just for my dashing good looks." boasted Dodgers with a hand on his chest.
"Moron says what?" Danny said.
"What?"
Jake and the others stifled their Laughter as Garnet just Shook her head with a Smile on her Face.
"What? What's the joke?"
"Oh nothing Dodgers."
"Maybe we should go inside." spoke Garnet. "You did say this is where the signal was coming from, right?"
"Yeah." June nodded. "Maybe we can find a clue inside it."
"She's right, let's go." Jake said.
Slowly each one descended down and into the sphere.
"It's Dark, too Dark." Corey said.
"Hold on." Danny's hand lit up with his ectoplasm. As the room lit up they saw a Container in the middle.
"What's in there?" spoke Manny.
"One way to find out." Jake said. Jake walked over and looked over the sides before gripping one side with his claws. He struggled with it as Garnet went over and helped him.
"Let me try." With a simple lift she was able to pop the top open. "See?" she grinned.
"Yeah thanks."
All of them gathered around to see what was inside. It was a Boy with brown hair wearing a Blue Shirt and Blue Shorts with Large Blue Boots.
"A boy?"
"What's he doing here?" Danny said.
"Let's try waking him up." Amethyst moved in and started poking his cheek. "Hey, wake up."
"Amethyst Don't Touch that Thing, we don't know what it Does!" Pearl said.
"Uh, it looks like a regular kid." spoke June with a raised eyebrow.
"Guys, I found a Button on his Leg!" Jake said.
"Ooh, I got it!" Amethyst bent down and pushed the button.
They heard a Whirring noise. Garnet pulled Amethyst away while they stepped back from the container.
The boy's Body started to Glow Blue.
"Everyone get ready!" ordered June.
The glowing stopped as he started to Wake up. "Mmm, where am I?"
"Are you okay?" June asked.
"Yeah, just a little dizzy." he groaned slowly climbing out of the pod. He shook his head so he could get a Better look at His Surroundings. "What is this place?"
"We were Hoping you could tell us Mister...?" Garnet said.
"Oh, my name's Rock, but most people just call me Megaman.
"That Name is Stupid." Dodgers said.
"And Dodgers is a better one?" spoke Danny.
"This is coming from Danny Phantom." the duck retorted.
"Focus you two." spoke Garnet.
"She's right. So Rock, how'd you Get in this Pod anyway?" Jake asked.
"I'm not sure myself."
"There must be a Clue in the Pod. Till then let's take it Back to HQ to have it analyzed." Garnet said Straightening her Glasses.
"You mean we gotta lug this big thing?" asked Dodgers.
"You got a better plan?"
"Well we could go on vacation, I know this one great resort where the ladies are woohoo!"
Garnet punched the top of his head, sending it into his stomach. He then opened the Midsection of his Outfit to speak.
"Ok, we'll carry it." he groaned out through his bill.
"That's what I thought."
"This is gonna be a big one." spoke Amethyst.
"Agreed, we may need Alexandrite." Pearl said.
"Aw yeah! Time to fuse!" grinned Amethyst.
"Why not." Garnet said.
"What are you talking about?" asked Jake.
"You'll see!" Amethyst said with a Big Smile.
Each of the lanterns ascended with Garnet picking Rocks up and brought him with as they landed beside the hole.
"You two ready?"
"You betcha!"
"As I'll ever be."
The rest watched as the three gems started dancing for some odd reason and saw them slowly get closer to one another. They soon started to Merge into one being.
Everyone was stunned as a large figure started appearing.
"That.." Corey started.
"..is.." Jake continued.
"Awesome!" El tigre finished.
Alexandrite's skin tone was a light green while her outfit became green, white, and black.
"Whoa! Ooh Lala!" Dodgers said.
Alexandrite crouched down and reached into the hole before gripping it with her arms.
"Alright, now that we got the Pod we can go." Danny said.
"You sure you can handle that?" asked El Tigre.
"Don't worry, it's nothing I can't handle." She slowly stood up and held the pod in her arms. "Let's go." She jumped into the Air and flew off.
The rest followed.
"So Rock, why're you Called Megaman?" Corey asked.
"Well it's kinda my title."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, but what about you guys? What's with the green?"
"We'll explain everything when we get back to Base."
(With the Indigo Tribe)
"Alright, it's time to get down to Business." Xero said.
"Um, what's that?" asked Fluttershy with her hoof raised.
"Figuring out a Way to Save Spike!" Chrysalis said.
"Oh! Sorry, I just thought we had to worry about other stuff." the pegasus backed away.
"Yes, even though getting Spike back is important I was talking about the other Thing."
"Which is the Sinestro and Red Lantern corps?" asked Laney.
"Exactly."
"So what's the Plan Leader Girl?" Laney asked Xero.
"We need to try and make sure they can't get the drop on us, so while on our own, keep your eyes peeled.
They all nodded.
"And we need to ensure our staff and rings are always charged up so we don't get outmatched."
"What about the other Lanterns? Surely we can count on Them for Assistance." Fluttershy said.
"Of course, but we don't know what the other corps are planning, so we need to take it easy and slow before we got an idea."
They all nod.
"So for the Star Sapphires, try not to go all glassy eyed when you see your boyfriends." she teased.
Said star Sapphires Blushed like Mad.
"In the meantime, stay with partners while you go about your days.
"Right!" They heard a Stomach Growl.
"Can we get Lunch? I haven't eaten Since Chapter 4." Laney said.
"Sounds good to me."
"Yeah I could Eat." Fluttershy said.
"Well then let's go out and hunt!"
"How bout we just get Chinese?" Laney said.
"On an alien planet?" Tyr,ahnee raised an eyebrow.
"It's possible."
"What's Chinese?" asked Katara.
"Don't worry Katara you'll See." Laney said.
"And how do you propose we order Chinese?" asked Tyr'ahnee with doubt.
Laney gave a Smile. "Just watch."
Laney used her ring and Made a Cellphone.
"What is that?" asked Katara.
"Our Ticket to a Meal." She hit a few buttons and held the phone to her ear. "Hey Tony it's Laney, hey listen you Guys Deliver to Outer space? Really? Sweet! Yeah I'll have the usual and..." She turns to her friends "What do you guys want?"
"Veggie for me." spoke Fluttershy.
"They got anything with extra Meat?" Chrysalis asked.
"I'm fine with cheese." spoke Katrina.
Laney gave him the Orders. "Yes Tony put it on the Tab, Tab Password? Yeah it's T.R.I.N.A Space I.S Space A space B.I.T.C.H."
The girls snickered.
"Yeah, yeah, Okay, and Go Heavy on the Egg Rolls and Fortune cookies." Laney hung up the Phone.
"You are quite the trickster." laughed Tyr'ahnee.
"Why Thank you."
"I'm not sure, maybe that was too mean." spoke Katrina.
"Mean Shemean." Chrysalis said.
"Be careful, those words might come back to bite you." spoke Isabella.
"Trust me you don't want Trina Biting you." Laney said.
"So how long till it gets here?" asked Tyr'ahnee.
The delivery Boy brought the Food and left. "Wow in under 20 Minutes." Laney said.
"Let's eat." grinned Chrysalis.
They dug into their Food.
"I don't quite usually eat this food." remarked Tyr'ahnee.
"Because you have no Mouth?" Katara Spoke.
"No, because I eat only the finest royal dishes on all of Mars."
"You sure it's not because you don't have a Mouth?" Laney said.
"If I don't have a mouth, then how am I talking and breathing then?" she frowned.
"But we can't see it!" Laney told her.
"That's part of my race!"
"Ooooooh...Boy this is Awkward." Laney said.
"Look, let's just focus on the food and try to calm down." spoke Katara.
"I agree." Fluttershy said.
All of them dug into the boxes.
"Mmmmmm, these Steam Vegetables are Delicious. I never Knew Humans could make something this Tasty" Fluttershy said
"Eh, meat is much better." grinned Chrysalis digging into her box like a ravenous coyote.
"Much Better than sea Prune Stew." Katara grinned.
"I'm not even gonna ask." spoke Xero.
"What're Sea Prunes?" Laney asked.
"A vegetation that grows around my home. They're good, but they get really old real fast."
"I bet not as Old as Laney's Puns!" Chrysalis said.
"OH ZNAP!" Fifi said Snapping her Fingers while enjoying her Chow-Mein.
"You wanna go?" Laney dared the queen.
"Try Me!"
"My Money's on Laney." Tyr'ahnee said.
"I will take zhat bet." spoke Fifi.
Katara Rubbed the bridge of her Nose.
"Um, maybe we could just talk this out?" suggested Katrina.
"The only things that's Gonna do the Talking are my Fists!" Laney said.
"Hah! I eat bigger prey than you." taunted Chrysalis.
"Alright Enough!" Xero said. Both turned to her. "As much as I would love to see you two fight don't!... And besides all your arguing did was give me time to steal your eggrolls!"
Both looked down and growled at the agent.
"What?"
"OUR EGGROLLS!"
"So Consider it Punishment for Arguing."
Both glared at her before glancing at the other and grinned before nodding. They slowly started to Advance on her.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" spoke Xero nervously.
"Not Arguing." Laney said.
"But come to an agreement."
"Wait! Before you two Beat me up as Leader I have but one thing to say."
"Which is?" Laney raised an eyebrow.
"LOOK IT'S REY SKYWALKER!" She said pointing behind them.
"Who?" both tilted their heads.
"LOOK SOMEONE GOT KICKED IN THE BOINGLOINGS...BOINGLOINGS..THE BOINGLOINGS SOMEONE GOT KICKED IN THEM!"
"You really need to work on that." deadpanned Laney before they grabbed Xero and tied her up with violet chains.
"No Wait I can Explain everything!"
Both didn't listen before a cartoon cloud surrounded them. A bolt of Lightning shocked them.
"Ow." groaned the three girls.
"Thanks Fluttershy." Xero said.
"It had to be Done."
"So Katara what'z Up wit you and Aang?" Fifi asked.
"Well," Katara blushed. "We've been on a long journey, and he's a really nice guy."
"And?"
"She's fallen for him." spoke Tyr'ahnee.
Katara blushed. "What? No!"
"Your face iz red." smiled Fifi.
"NO IT'S NOT!"
Fifi conjured a mirror and held it up to Katara's face.
Katara used her ring to create a Bubble.
"I must admit, this whole thing is so much different than what I'm use to." remarked Isabella.
"Oh then how're things with Phineas?" Xero said.
"W-What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean." she replied with a Smirk.
Isabella looked away with a blush.
"Oh is Zat a Blush I Zee?" Fifi said.
"Oh look! An alien bird! I better go save this in my handbook!" she got up and ran off.
The girls laughed at their Friend.
(With the Blue Lanterns)
Aang was meditating, or at least trying to. But the fact Katara was part of one of the corps was putting him on edge.
"Hey guys! Lunch Is ready!" Steven said.
That made Aang stand up and walk over to the rock slab that was used as a table.
"Something Wrong Leader Boy?" Timmy asked.
"Just concerned about a friend." he replied sitting down with the rest.
"Don't worry Aang, I'm Sure your Friends Safe." Steven said.
"I know, but this...all of this...it's just so much different than my home."
"I know how you feel, but trust me you'll get used to it." Ben said.
"Yeah, I've been to alien planets tons of times." spoke Timmy.
"Same here, well not really, just the Planet's atmosphere." Steven said.
'I've never been this far away from home. A little bit in space, but not this far out.' read Furrball's sign.
"Thanks guys." Aang said with a Smile.
"So, what're we eating?" asked Ben looking at the dish.
"Steamed Dumplings!"
"Looks good." smiled Aang.
"I love Dumplings!" Timmy said.
"Dig in." smiled Steven.
They grabbed their Dumplings and started to Eat.
"Wow! This is really good." spoke Ben.
"Man Nasty Burger has nothing on this!" Danny spoke.
'Delicious!'
"Ahh Shucks you guys." Steven said.
"This is really good. How did you learn how to cook like this?" asked Aang.
"Well I watch a lot of Cooking Shows when there's nothing else on Tv."
"TV?" spoke Aang in confusion.
They all Gasped In Shock.
"You don't know what TV is?" spoke Timmy in shock.
"No."
"Never even heard of it?" asked Ben.
"Nope."
"It's awesome!" cheered Steven.
"Amazing!" Timmy said.
"What is it though?" asked Aang.
"Why don't we Show Him?" Danny said.
"Yeah!" They used their Rings to Make a Flat-Screen Tv.
Aang watched it with curiosity. "Whoa, so this is Tv?"
"That's right."
"This is Pretty Good."
Furrball sat beside him to watch as well.
'This is Relaxing.' His Sign read.
(Meanwhile with the Black Lanterns)
"Got Any 3's?" Sombra asked Metal Sonic.
"Go fish."
He drew another card.
"This is like, so boring." spoke Trina looking at her phone.
"Tell me about it." Shego said filing her nails.
"How much longer do we have to wait?" growled Azula to Mandy.
"As Long as It takes!"
Azula growled while Taz munched on a large pizza without restraint.
"Taz Love Pizza!"
"Quit slobbering you animal." growled Sombra trying to take a nap.
"Make Taz!" That got him a blast from the former king that sent him crashing into the wall. Taz let out a Roar and tackled him.
The unicorn growled and used a shield to keep the creature away.
"ENOUGH!" Mandy shouted. Everyone turned towards her. "If you want to fight then do it Outside!"
"If you can call this a fight." scoffed Sombra to Taz.
"Hey Little Miss She-Devil, Captain Floaty and I here Found Something you Might Be Interested in." Lily said.
"What is it?" asked Mandy.
"Follow us."
Mandy stood up and followed them.
"We managed to Locate the Source of a Strange Power Surge we've been Tracking." AC explained.
"Really?"
"Yep and get this, it turns out it's Coming from an Alternate version of You." Lily Explained.
"Where did you come to this conclusion from?"
Lily Pressed a Button which Showed her. There on the screen showed an older Mandy in a revealing black dress and colored red eyes.
"Not Bad. Although what I Find very Interesting is that My Eyes are Red." Current Mandy Said.
"In this world you married the Grim Reaper and became immortal." spoke Anti-Cosmo.
"Immortality I can Do, but Marrying Grim? No. What next, We Have Children?"
"Yup, and your daughter ends up liking her brother." spoke Lily.
"I should be Surprised, but I'm not Since they're Also Grim's Children." She said Rubbing gap in between her Eyes. "I get the image, but where are you detecting the power? Some kind of rift in space and time?"
"It would Seem So, Plus the Power we're Detecting is Coming from Her."
"Send some of the Manhunters in to find her."
"Yes Right Away!"
"GET OFF ME FURRBALL!" yeled Vicky while holding Taz away from her own pizza.
"NO! TAZ WANT PIZZA!"
Trina growled before stamping over and grabbed the creature. She proceeded to Beat up The Devil. "QUIT ANNOYING ME!"
"Yes Ma'am." he said meekly.
(With Greed, Nicole, and Heloise)
Heloise was Flying next to Greed and Nicole as they were Making their Way to a Distant Moon. They landed and Heloise saw several large piles of parts. "Whoa, where are we?"
"A desolate moon where you'll have plenty of privacy on the army."
"Grave, Dark, and No sign of Hope. I should Build A School here."
"I'm not sure if I like the idea of you making robots for war." frowned Nicole to Greed.
"Says the Woman who gives her Own Family Nightmares." he deadpanned.
"That's because I'm trying to keep them safe!" she growled.
"From Who?"
"Have you met my family?" she raised an eyebrow.
"But To Control them With Fear on a Daily Basis to Make sure you remain on Top, that's Evil, and I love it!"
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" she growled with her ring glowing.
"When was The Last Time You didn't Scare Them into Submission?"
"..."
"Exactly."
"Well I might be able to use these parts." spoke Heloise looking them over.
"Excellent!" Greed sat down as Heloise started gathering some parts that looked useful.
Meanwhile Nicole was Thinking over the Conversation that she and Greed Had. 'I don't always do that to my family, do I?' She then Remembered all the Times She Controlled her Family with Fear. She looked at the ground in sadness.
