Chapter 25

"Well that was a bust. All I found was conspiracy websites and crackpot saying that they used to work for The Ministry of Villains and Downright Naughtiness. For such a stupid name they sure know how to make robots." Pixel sighed after his exhaustive search.

"You've been staring at that thing for an hour and didn't get anywhere?" Robbie raised an eyebrow.

"Is that what I just said?" The Gizmo Guy gave him a look.

"Then there has to be a different approach." Robbie suddenly had an idea.

"I can't take the two of you. If you're going to get on my nerves, go home." Milford was obviously in no mood.

"Pigtails, come here." Robbie said, ignoring the Mayor's comment. Trixie came over and surprisingly didn't say anything hostile.

"What are you thinking?" She asked, seeing the look on his face.

"Poodle, can you reprogram IAC?" The ex-villain wanted to know.

"It's Pixel and I could try." The boy corrected him.

"Perhaps he is the ticket. If you could may be reboot him to his lowest level so that he only answers commands we could have him lead us to the TMVDN's headquarters." Robbie explained.

"So then what?" Pixel asked.

"We storm the castle." A smirk crossed Trixie's face.

"Exactly my prankster friend. We storm the castle. We have to wait for Sugar Boy, Stinky, and Pinky to get better anyway. In that time we could get IAC back up and running and maybe even make some more of him." Robbie loved how the plan was coming together.

"But what you're proposing could take years. By then the TMVDN will come after us again." Pixel argued.

"Not if we work together. I happen to know quite a bit about robots." The inventor smiled.

"I'm in." Trixie nodded.

"All right, me too." Pixel set his resolve.

"Now all we gotta do is talk to Sportakook and see what he thinks." Robbie said.

"I'll go talk to Stingy." Trixie volunteered.

"I'll get Ziggy." Pixel nodded. With this the newfound alliance broke up and left the room. Bessie smiled in amazement and nudged Milford.

"Robbie isn't as bad as everyone thinks." She said. He just made a face thinking that the only good thing to come out of all if it was that they left the room.

"So that's the plan." Robbie explained about twenty minutes later.

"It's risky." Sportacus said as he stood up from his seat. He wanted to stay close though in case Stephanie awoke.

"But it's the only way to stop those whacked out guys. They tried to kill you, Pinky, and me, twice. How many more opportunities are we going to give them? How many times until they get lucky and at least one us wouldn't be coming back?" Robbie wanted to know.

"I see your point but everyone will need training. I can't ask them to go into battle only knowing how to use their fists." The above average hero argued.

"Then you train them. You're the best LazyTown has to offer in that department." The purple wearing man told him. This made Sportacus smile.

"All right. I'll get working on a regimen to have them prepared in about a month or so. It'll be demanding but if they can do it, they'll be ready for anything." The above average hero agreed.

"So it's a done deal." Robbie smiled again, finding it very funny he was smiling so much.

"How's Pinky doing?" He asked.

"She seems better. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up." Sportacus sighed.

"Hey she'll be fine. Like I said, she's one tough chick. Besides somebody has to keep you inline." Robbie teased. Sportacus was about to make a comment when he felt a hand on his arm.

"Hey." She smiled.

"Stephanie." He smiled back.

"Well I'll leave you two alone." Robbie winked and started for the door.

"Wait Robbie. There's something I have to say." The pink one called for him to come back.

"About me? Come on." Robbie's joking mood continued.

"Yes. I want to thank you. What you did was very brave. You saved Stingy's life." Stephanie smiled.

"And you saved mine, so I guess we can call it even. Now you can get mushy with Sporty here. I'll go find your Uncle." The ex-villain couldn't figure out what the feeling was in his chest but it felt good. I should do stuff like this more often, he thought. Whoa. Did that just come out of my brain? He asked himself, shaking his head as he left the room.

"So what were you two talking about?" Stephanie turned to Sportacus; her color was vastly improving.

"We'll talk about that later. How are you feeling?" He wondered.

"Incredibly well. Stronger even, if that is possible. When can I go home?" She asked. A smile spread across Sportacus' lips. The transfusion was working.

"I don't know. I'm sure the doctor will tell us soon." He smiled again and kissed her forehead. She grabbed his vest and pulled him over on top of her.

"Wow." She said marveling at her own strength before placing her lips on his.

"Wow." He replied when he woke up.

"So you want to go get the doctor so I can get out of here?" Stephanie asked.

"I'll do that. When we're done with the doctor, we'll talk about storming the castle." Sportacus smiled as he stood up and left the room.

"Storming the castle?" She wondered.

The End

Well there you have it. Hoped you liked it. Coming soon: "When Monkeys Attack" LOL, that won't be the title.
