Chapter 25: The Battle for Courage Jr.

Note: I DEFINATELY do not own "Courage the Cowardly Dog" CN and John R. Dilworth owns the series... however he knows about this fanfic.

Edna, Dr. Bellaluna, and The Princess of the Pink Puddle are my characters, Rachel belongs to Squeaken1, Jennifer belongs to Yukimizuno, Edwina is based on Fanfictionfan123, Izzy belongs to Clockworkpurple and you know the rest!

I decided to name the Storm Goddess "Gail", now if only someone got the joke.

(Nowhere)

Dr. Bellaluna, her father Fred the Barber, and her two henchmen The Great Fusilli and Cajun Fox continue to walk the drylands of Nowhere as Bellaluna is reading her copy of Courage Sr.'s journal.

Fred then asks his daughter, "Sweet Chien, what exactly are you doing with Courage's book?" Cajun then adds, "Yeah, why would you wanna come back to this here dump? I bet the dog doesn't even live here anymore, let's just go back to Somewhere and go after his son instead."

Bellaluna then says to her companions, "I'm using the journal to go back to Courage Sr.'s roots and perhaps use it against his son and then I'll finally get that tail, oh and I brought some of Dark-man's robots with me, he's using the new models that look like floating cylinders with long arms with claws and they have purple visors."

Then all of a sudden they see a rundown old house with a broken windmill next to it. Bellaluna looks at the picture of the Bagge Farm and looks again and she asks her minions, "Look familiar boys?"

Fusilli: I performed there!

Cajun Fox: I played dodgeball there!

Fred: I once visited Aunt Muriel there... when she was alive!

Bellaluna then adds, "Correct! Now let's loot the place and dig up some dirt on the dog and his son!"

And so the gang breaks into the Bagge house and try searching for valuables. Fred then goes up to Bellaluna and says to her, "Now Chien, I might approve of helping you capture the puppy so you can fulfill your dreams but looting your Grand Aunt Muriel's house is a bit...disrespectful don't you think?" Bellaluna then continues searching and says, "But dad, according to the journal Grand Aunt Muriel and Courage Sr. moved out of this house and pretty much abandoned it so I guess it's for the next bandit's taking and besides dad, this might be helpful in my quest.

Bellaluna then digs up a box and as she opens it, a computer turns on by itself, the computer then speaks up in a familiar British accent,

"*yawn*, that was a nice nap... Now where was I? oh yeah if you are the next of that twit's kin then... hey waitaminute you're not Courage nor his next of Kin!"

Bellaluna then says, "No kiddin', now I'm gonna use you for helping me capture "his next of kin" ahahahahahahaha!" The Computer then says, "Oh I'm not going to like this!"

Cajun Fox and Fusilli then show up empty-handed and then Bellaluna says, "Let me guess, they took everything before they moved away, typical! At least we'll use Courage Sr.'s very own computer against his son, hahahahahaha... umm why are you two shivering?"

To their horror, they see a skeleton rising from the grave and grabs Bellaluna's leg as he gazes on her with a hungry look.

Bellaluna kicks him away and looks at the journal:

"Errol Van Volkheim, like his partner Benton Tarentella, was arrested for a spree of murders against unknowledgeable innocents believing him to be a director. Overtime, he grew better and was released from jail for good behavior. His partner stayed in prison, but the two were- at some point- able to plan out their supernatural return. Eventually, Errol died and was buried in a cemetary that the Bagge Farmhouse was built on top of. Later, Tarantella tricked Eustace into unburying his old accomplice. Revived by the light of the aligned planets, Van Volkheim and Tarantella continued their old ways by trying to consume Muriel. Strictly following the script, though, was their downfall, when Courage altered the ending to have the two return into the ground. As the dead criminals climbed back into the hole, their bickering could still be heard."

Bellaluna's eyes become as big as saucers as she shouts, "THIS FARMHOUSE WAS BUILT OVER A CEMETARY? No wonder why this freak is here!" Fusilli and Cajun Fox hold Errol and then Bellaluna pulls out his head and puts it in a sack as Errol asks in an Austrian, "Ok you tasty burgler, what are you planning to do to my head?" Bellaluna replies, "I'm a magic practicioner, use your head! Hahahahaha! I made a funny!"

But then they see what appears to be a giant white head that shouts at them, "GET OUT!"

Bellaluna looks at the journal and reads this:

"The Spirit Of The Harvest Moon is a spirit that expects farmers to grow crops. He threatens to make Eustace and Muriel leave their house unless they grow a plant in ten minutes. When Eustace refuses to grow something, Muriel and The Spirit call him "stubborn" and "not a farmer". When the ten minutes is up, The Spirit rises the temperature to molten hot, which causes everything to melt. I grew the plant using Eustace's sweat. When the plant grows, The Spirit lowers the temperature back to normal."

Bellaluna then says, "Don't mess with us you big ugly head! We're a powerful gang of rouges and we have special abilities!" Then the spirit shouts, "NOT A FARMER!" Then the room suddenly gets boiling hot and then Bellaluna then comments, "Of course! He makes the room hot at a whim... LET'S GET OUT OF HERE GUYS!"

And so as they run and scream along the way. Bellaluna opens a door and then she sees what appears to be dark room that houses a blue creature that resembles a trumpet with a human face. The creature then speaks in a whispery voice, "You're not perfect..."

Bellaluna opens her mouth and then a tiny Bellaluna comes out of her mouth and she screams then goes back into her mouth. Bellaluna then says, "I just imitated the dog didn't I?" Fusilli then opens a door and sees live-action footage of King Ghidorah and closes the door. Fred and Cajun Fox open another door and at first they see a young girl playing the violin, Fred is being soothed by the music and then all of a sudden she turns around and her face turns grotesque and roars at them. Cajun Fox screams and runs off and then Fred pulls out his shears and says to "The Violin Girl", "I feel naaaaughty!" Then the Violin Girl screams in fear as Fred Approaches her with his shears.

The trio also run into what appears to be a shadowy evil spirit that is carrying lobsters in her hands as she makes a evil laugh. Despite being attacked by the spirit's lobsters, the evil trio finally managed to exit the Abandoned Farmhouse and this experience leaves Bellaluna, Fusilli and Cajun Fox gasping for air and espressing how fear-stricken they are.

Fred shows up with a fist full of blonde hair, but then Bellaluna then grabs Fred by the collar and shouts, "WHAT KIND OF BRAIN-DEAD MORONS WOULD CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THIS HOUSE WHEN ALL THE FREAKY MESSED UP STUFF KEEPS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME! It's no wonder why the puppy's father is a such a scardy-dog, he kept protecting those senile old farts!"

Fred then calmly scolds Bellaluna, "Umm Chien, one of those "senile old farts" is my Aunt Muriel, YOUR Grand-Aunt Muriel." Bellaluna becomes embarassed and comments, "Oh... sorry dad! But seriously, why do they keep living there if they get attacked by stuff such as a big ugly head, a zombie, a crazy barber, a Cajun Fox and an Alligator actor... sorry guys!"

Before anyone can answer, Cajun Fox and Fusilli point out that the windmill vandals are right behind Bellaluna. She turns around and says, "Oh no, it's the four horsemen of the apocalypse! Please don't take me! I haven't even caught the puppy yet!" The Vandals look at eachother very confused until Bellaluna looks up "Windmill Vandals" in her copy of the journal.

"The Windmill Vandals are a group of 4 Horsebacked Vandals (Eastern Germanic Tribesmen) who once plagued the land of Nowhere. The farmer who once lived in the Farmhouse where the Bagge Family now reside constructed the windmill next to the Farmhouse, and inscribed several runes, one on each blade of the windmill, in order to keep the Vandals away. I first saw them when the windmill breaks, and the Vandals appear as wraiths to come and destroy the farmhouse. The mill is broken and repaired several times, until finally it is fully fixed, and the Vandals banished forever more. In case you see them it means the windmill is broken by now.

In some occurances, the Windmill can get destroyed by other monsters yet the Windmill Vandals didn't appear... not even I know why."

A scream can be heard and so Bellaluna and her minions end up running away from the vandals. Bellaluna then says, "Hey waitaminute... I have powers! Then she pulls out her red guy tail talisman and turns the Windmill Vandals's skeletal horses into ponies... complete with "cutie marks".

The four then laugh at the sight of the ponies and then she zaps the four Windmill Vandals and turns them into rabbit, a Cat, a Dog, and a baby toothless alligator.

Fred, Fusilli, and Cajun Fox were laughing really hard but then Bellaluna grabs them and says, "Let's go guys, the spell is only temporary, I wonder where those cylinders went?"

Soon they run into what appears to be a teenage girl in greek attire, she has red hair, dark skin and green eyes and lips, she appears to be weeping as a cloud follows her around. The girl then sees Bellaluna and her gang and asks her, "Hello Miss, I'm looking for a small pink dog that looks so much like my dearly departed Duncan... he lives here, have you seen him?"

Dr. Bellaluna then pulls out her red guy's tail and hits her with it repeatedly and says, "Oh no you don't! He's my dog! I want to cut his tail off and use it as a magic talisman, you ain't getting him! HE'S MINE!"

The girl then makes her cloud storm and it electricutes Bellaluna with a lightning bolt. Fred then goes up to the girl and says, "I apologize for my daughter's actions, just tells us your story and we'll see if it makes perfect sense to us..."

(And so...)

Bellaluna then says, "OOOOooooh! I see! You wanted the puppy's father! Naw he doesn't live here anymore, we came her to loot the house to get answers, I'm really after his son, his tail possesses a element of magic that I need for a spell but he lives in Somewhere and we're going back there to continue the quest."

Fusilli then asks Bellaluna, "So tell us-a why you need-a the tail again?" Cajun then adds, "Yeah, maybe that will explain why you won't let us kill him nor cook him as well."

Dr. Bellaluna creates a image of the dog and says to her, "The tail contains special psychic vibrations of good luck, and every supernatural occurance this dog and his family and friends ever encountered, once I remove it and replace my magic red guy's tail talisman with it, not only will I become a more powerful sorceress... BUT THE WORLD WILL BE MINE AS WELL! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The girl then angerly states, "I am Gail the Storm Goddess and I just want a cute, sweet, understanding doggy and I will not have you creeps do that to a puppy!" Then she uses her storm cloud to strike Bellaluna again and then she creates a chasm that makes Bellaluna, Fred, Fusili and Cajin Fox fall into the underground, making their quest a bit difficult.

Then as they come to, they noticed they landed in a cave where they see the ruined remains of a giant tower with mechanical spider-legs. As they enter it, Bellaluna finds out the tower once belonged to a Dr. Zalost. Then she says to her minions, "You know with the help of the Cylinder robots, they can rebuilt this tower and makes it new and improved, in fact maybe we can use it to catch the dog so easily. And so while we built the tower... let's sing a song!"

And so Bellaluna, Fusilli, and the Cajun Fox once again start singing their song which suspicially sounds alot like the theme song of the Dorombo Gang from the anime "Yatterman".

"(What a problem, a tricky problem, the puppy problem)

The puppy problem, a tricky problem, what a problem)

We've got our wits about us! Hey, hey, hey!

We're cooking up good ideas! Hey, hey, hey!

We want, we want the Puppy's tail!

Our minds are set on getting it!

Bellaluna... Fusilli... The-Cajun-Fox...

It doesn't matter how many times we go down. No! Never!

We are geniuses - Hey, hey, hey!

Bellaluna's gang!

(What a problem, a tricky problem, the puppy problem!)

(So efficient, so tremendous, so skillful

So skillful, so tremendous, so efficient)

Revenge is our pride and joy - Hey, hey, hey!

We love terrorizing - Hey, hey, hey!

Villainy, villainy, it's our specialty!

We're sharp, we're slick, and we're good looking too!

Bellaluna... Fusilli... The-Cajun-Fox...

It doesn't matter how many times we go down. No! Never!

We are Superior - Hey, hey, hey!

Bellaluna's gang!

(So efficient, so tremendous, so skillful)

The tower rises on it's spider-legs and then it treads towards "Route 66" as Bellaluna then says, "Look out puppy! Bellaluna's got herself a new toy! Muahahahahahahahaha! But first, hey boys, I need some music to fit the situation!" Cajun Fox then puts on a record that plays the musical piece, "Dr. Zalost's Theme"

(Somewhere)

Edna and Courage Jr. are playing catch at Somewhere Park and then as Junior misses the ball, the ball ends up in the hand of a small smiling ghost with a hand on top of his head. Junior sees him and starts screaming as he runs and hides behind Edna. The ghost flies towards Edna and then hands her the ball. "Edna then says, "Oh Junior, it's one of the park's groundskeepers, High Five Ghost!" Edna then high-fives High Five Ghost and then he flies to Junior who then asks him, "Umm are you a friendly ghost?" High Five Ghost then replies in a soft voice, "Yes I am." Then Junior smiles and high-fives High Five Ghost as High Five Ghost just flies back to the other side of the Park.

The two then noticed the skies are acting unusual and then they see Gail the storm goddess coming their way. Gail then sees Junior and she runs to him in glee as she hugs him and says, "I knew it, he looks like my dearly departed Duncan, a cute doggy, understanding doggy, sweet doggy!"

As she hugs Junior, his journal falls from him. Edna then picks up the book and says, "Hey waitaminute, You look familiar..."

(Edna's flashback begins)

Edna is on a airplane with Courage Jr. returning from her Aunt Michelle's house in the Town of Willoughby. Edna notices a teenage girl who indeed does look like the Storm Goddess but she has black hair and wears a parachute on her back as she sits next to a sleeping giraffe. The girl then looks at Edna and says to her, "Parachuting in the sky is good for my gums." Then she proceeds to jump out of the plane and opens her parachute, while ignoring the fact that Junior notices a monster on the wing of the airplane, but that is another story.

(Edna's flashback ends)

Edna then thinks, "Naw the Parachute girl had black hair, she has orange hair." Then she stops at the entry:

"The Storm Goddess is a beautiful deity that tried to steal me away from Muriel to replace her missing dog Duncan."

Edna then gets angry and she goes up to the storm goddess as she tells her, "Excuse me! This is my dog, I know what you tried to do years ago and it's not happening again!" As Gail gets angry, Junior looks at the journal and screams at the very idea.

Gail then asks Edna, "Why are you keeping him away from me? He looks just like Duncan... and he looks like his father! Can I have him please?" Edna hugs Junior tighter as she says, "No! I adopted him last year and since then he protected me from all sorts of evil beings and he has save the town on several occasions, if you took him then who will protect us all?"

Gail then says, "But I need a cute, sweet, understanding companion. And since that dog from Nowhere isn't around, I'll settle for that one." Edna then screams, "No No No No!"

Princess shows up in a baseball cap and says, "Hey Puppy Dog! Wanna play... what is going on!" Junior then says, "Princess! The Storm Goddess wants to take me away and Edna..." Princess grows angry and says, "Oh I get it... The Storm Goddess want to take you away... and Edna is giving you to her! Well no way, If she plans on getting rid of you I'll keep you! Edna how could you?"

Edna then says, "Princess, you know I love Junior and I would never give him up, why would think of such a thing?"

Edna and Princess then continue to argue but then Gail shouts, "MINE!" Then the storm clouds surround her and then start to cause a small storm that grows larger. Princess then summons water and is about to attack Gail. Junior sees how bad the storm is getting during the fight and then Junior jumps towards Edna and grabs her just to get her out of the way of the storm.

Edna starts crying as she says, "So it's come to this, I adopted you and gave you alot of love, and now a fight erupts over your ownership and yet both parties have no idea what I've went through with you... and it made us even closer... Remember the time we first met?

(Flashback from chapter 1 Begins)

Courage Jr. wakes up and sees a a seven year old hispanic girl sporting thick-framed eyeglasses, she has long black hair and she's wearing a blue dress with a red shirt under it and sandals. The girl smiles heavily as she sees Junior and she says to her father, "Daddy I'd like that one please, he looks so special!" Junior's eyes widen and he says to himself, "Special? I'm special? Wow!"

Junior's mother then says to him, "Well son, looks like you got your wish, you're going to live up to your father's reputation, you got a nice owner, now with a little practice you'll be able to protect them from monsters like your father did." Courage Jr. then says, "I'll make you and my siblings proud mommy."

The girl then adopts Courage Jr. as her father drives the car back to the big city that is far away from Nowhere... the city of Somewhere!

The girl shows Junior his new bed and she says to her, "Oh, my name is Edna, Edna Esmeralda Espinoza! Oh you are such the cutest thing." Then Edna hugs a very happy Courage Jr.. Junior thinks to himself, "Now I must know how daddy felt when he was with Muriel... umm is there a Eustace in the house?' Then all of a sudden Edna's older brother Eric shows up and says, "Hey stoopid dog, here's a housewarming present for you!" Then he puts on a scary mask and shouts, "BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!"

Courage Jr. then screams very loud and then Edna retaliates by throwing a pillow at him and he says, "Owww... what did I do?" Then as Eric walks away, Edna continues hugging a very happy Courage Jr.

(Flashback to chapter 1 ends)

Edna then shouts as the storm gets more stronger, "REMEMBER THE TIME YOU SAVED ME FROM THE QUEEN OF THE BLACK PUDDLE?"

(Flashback to chapter 3 begins)

As Edna, Rachel, and Jennifer continue their search near Professor Di Lung's house, they noticed a shrinking black puddle near them and out comes Courage Junior with Eric. Edna then sees this and hugs Junior and says to him, "I have no idea where you came from but I'm glad you and my brother are safe... but where's his pants and why is he wearing the strang necklace?"

But then the ground rumbles and out of the black puddle rises a giant demonic monsterous version of the Queen of the Black Puddle who roars loudly at them. Then the Queen sees Edna and says, "I never tried eating female humans before... YOU WILL BE FIRST!" Then she uses her tentacles to grab Edna as she plans to eat her.

As Rachel, Jennifer, and Junior shiver at the sight, Junior sees Manta with a bag as he runs and tells him, "Mister Courage! The young boy left a bag near that man's house, let's use what's in it!" Junior then pulls out two eggs and he manages to throw them at the Queen's eyes. As she blindly drops Edna, Junior ends up catching her in his arms as she smiles and says to him, "My hero!" And she kisses his nose."

Rachel then says, "That thing looks like the Dark Dweller from "The Pirates of Dark Water" If only we have the 13 Treasures of Rule!" Junior notices the TP in the bag and says to Rachel, "No but we have 13 rolls of Toilet Paper... Burly brand Toilet Paper!"

And with that Edna, Rachel, Courage Junior, Manta, and Jennifer throw the toilet paper at the Queen of the Black Puddle and to the Queen's horror the TP manages to suck her up until she is no more.

Jennifer sees the rolls of Toilet Paper and says to Edna, "I think that monster was the one that abducted your brother, and it tried to eat you to. What should we do with the rolls?" Edna notices the matches in Eric's bag and says, "You know I should tell mom about Eric playing with matches but good thing he has them. So Rachel, Jennifer, and Edna lit the matches and tosses them at the rolls of toilet papers as they hear a inhuman scream of pain.

Junior then lights a match and tosses it at the pile and says to it, "And this is for the trouble you caused my dad. If only he can see me now!"

Jennifer then says, "Well that was a great halloween, we got candy and we kicked a monster's ask!" Rachel then says to Jennifer, "Jenny were you watching that video on "Ear Tube" again? Jennifer then giggles and says, "Umm... how about we catch that "Vincent Van Ghoul" horror movie marathon tonight?

Edna then says, "Actually there is a Halloween party at the John R. Dilworth Elementary School, let's go then!" But first I notice Junior lost his Hong Kong Phooey costume so how about it little guy, can you wear the "SD" collar? Oh and your little kitty friend can come too!"

Junior smiles as he puts on the collar and says, "Scooby Dooby Doo!"

(Flashback to Chapter 3 ends)

Princess hears the flashback and starts tearing up. Edna then goes closer to Junior as she says, "Even when that nut Bellaluna tried so hard to catch ya, I returned the favor for all those times you save me and saved your tail... literally!

(Flashback to chapter 9)

As Edna, Junior, Jenny, and Rachel manage to leave the shop so easily, Bellaluna pulls out a jack in the box and as it opens out springs out a green claw that grabs Junior and pulls it back into the shop and before the door slams shut, Bellaluna growls, "THE DOG IS MINE!"

Edna then tears up, knowing she lost her best friend, companion, and protector. Jenny then says, "Cheer up Edna, we'll think of a way to get him back, he's like our mascot if we were magical girls, we can't let evil win!" Rachel then adds, "Yes Jennifer, he saved us countless times and he saved me when I was turned into a were-mole so now it's our turn to save his tail... literally!"

Edna then cheers up and says, "You're right guys! GET OUT YOUR MAGIC ICE CREAM SCOOPS!"

And then the girls pull out their ice cream scoops and then Edna says to them, "There is one thing no force of evil cannot withstand is when 7 year old girls do something cute... VANILLA ICE CREAM POWER!"

Edna then lifts her ice cream scoop in the air and takes off her clothes, revealing a Sailor Moon like outfit but it's colored white and beige where the red should be. She also does a cute pose.

Rachel then shouts, "CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM POWER!" and then she lifts her ice cream scoop in the air and takes off her clothes, revealing a Sailor Moon like outfit but it's colored white and brown where the red should be. She also does a cute pose.

Jenny then shouts, "MINT BERRY CRUNCH POWER!" Edna then asks Jenny, "Were you watching "South Park" again?" Jenny replies, "South who? Oh ok ok... STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM POWER!" and then she lifts her ice cream scoop in the air and takes off her clothes, revealing a Sailor Moon like outfit but it's colored white and pink where the red should be. She also does a cute pose.

The three girls then shout, "THE ICE CREAM SENSHI TO THE RESCUE!" And then they see a door with a skull on it who asks them, "Who are you three, are you on the guest list?" They make cute poses and the Skull smiles and says, "How cute, come right in!" Rachel then whispers to Edna, "Works every time!"

In Bellaluna's lair, she has Junior strapped on a table and pulls out all sorts of cuttery and she asks him, "Ok puppy, before I put you to sleep, what preferred method would you like... surgical knife, cleaver, or axe?" Junior replies by peeing on the table out of fear.

Before Bellaluna pulls out the sleeping gas, Edna and the girls reach the lair in the nick of time.

Seeing the girls in magical girl outfits slightly confuses Bellaluna, Edna then says to her:

"Ice cream style, Ice cream grace.

Ice cream scoops in your face!"

Bellaluna then thinks to herself, "That is so confusing yet so adorable, I think I'll play along." Bellaluna then says to the girls, "Now before I cut off this puppy's tail in the name of the Negaverse, just who are you three?"

Edna: SAILOR VANILLA!

Rachel: SAILOR CHOCOLATE!

Jenny: SAILOR MINT BERRY CRUN... I mean SAILOR STRAWBERRY!

Then the three girls say in unison, "We are the Ice Cream Senshi and we fight for truth and love and... umm... make evil go away!"

Bellaluna then grins and says to the girls, "Oh is that so? Well what are you going to do about it? Hmmmm?"

Edna, Rachel, and Jenny then pulls out their ice cream scoops and then Rachel says to her, "Then prepare for our ultimate attack!"

Then the three shout in unison, "NEAPOLITAN BEAM!"

Then the three pretend they are firing a huge beam at Bellaluna... so she falls down and says, "Oh no! my evil plan is ruined, noooooooo!" As Bellaluna pretends to be "dying" Rachel and Jenny manage to untie Junior and the three manage to escape the lair.

Bellaluna comes to and says, "HA! With that type of acting, I should become a actress... uh... girls? THE DOG!" Then Bellaluna shape shifts into a lollipop (sucker), a donkey, and Steve-O, then as she shapeshifts back to normal she shouts in pure anger, "I'VE BEEN HAD! GET THEM MY MINIONS! AND BRING BACK THE DOG ALIVE!"

So the three girls and puppy run past the hallways full of spirits, monsters, and other unmentionable entities. Edna then says to her friends, "Whatever you do... don't look back, it's what she wants! As Bellaluna chases them, she says to herself, "Darn, there is no fooling that girl!" Jenny then slows her down by throwing sprinkles at her face while Rachel sprays some hot fudge on the ground, slowing Bellaluna down even more.

Soon the girls see a dead end in the form of a huge brick wall. Before the girls panic, Jenny grabs Junior and runs through the brick wall and they exit the door and continue to run. Edna then asks Jenny, "How did you know the wall was a illusion?" Jenny replies, "I didn't it was a instinct!" Junior then wags his tail and licks Jenny's face. Jenny continues, "Either way, at least our little Courage Junior is safe and in one piece."

(Flashback to Chapter 9 ends)

Edna then says, "I'd show you more flashbacks to prove my point but not many readers like "clip shows". Oh Courage Jr. I love you!" Junior then goes to Edna's arms and says, "I love you too Edna." As Edna's legs grab hold of a lamp post, she hugs Junior despite how powerful the storm is getting.

Princess looks down and she tears up, then Gail asks Princess, "Hey, why did you stop fighting... oh my... she really loves her dog, it would be awfully wrong to take him. But I miss my Duncan..." Soon the storm dies down.

Then suddenly, Courage Jr., Princess, Gail, and Edna hear "Dr. Zalost's Theme" as they see a giant tower with a giant "M" on it and it moves with robotic spider-legs. then Bellaluna shouts from her bullhorn,

"So you three are fighting over the dog huh? Well the winner is me! Surrender the dog or else I fire my cannons at you... Edna will you move out of the way please!" Gail then says, "I know you! You're the sicko who wants to cut off the sweet puppy's tail!" Before Gail can fly up and attack Bellaluna's tower, she fires the cannon and the cannon ball hits Gail, it goes inside her and it makes her sad and depressed, she falls to the ground but fortunately Princess catches her.

Junior then notices the tower and sees Bellaluna waving at him. Junior screams to the point where the top of his head jumps off and it jumps back on. Edna then says, "I really got to know how you do that, anyway we got to find shelter!" Princess still has Gail in her arms as she runs with Edna. Then Bellaluna sends some of her cylinder robots to go after Junior, they extend their claws and try to pry him off of Edna and then some of them grabbed Princess and then they hear Bellaluna's voice coming from the robots, "I might not have the dog but I have no qualms about destroying the freak who is devoted to protecting his furry little butt... I'll destroy her!"

Princess starts tearing up as the Cylinders surround her and whisk her up to the tower. Courage Jr. then notices how sad Gail is but then he reads his journal about the sort of thing and then he says to her, "I might not have some happy plums but I have this!" And then he goes up to her and licks her face while rubbing against her.

In the tower, Bellaluna has Princess in a tank and then she says to her, "You have been ruining my plans for a long time, and who'd a thought you were the daughter of the freak I was forced to help you guys get rid of... plus I wanna get back at you for throwing your starfish shurikens at me and poking my butt with a swordfish the last time I went after the dog, well no more! I plan to dump you in a desert where you will dry up... permanantly!"

Then Bellaluna, Fusilli, and Cajun Fox make a triumphant evil laugh.

However the towers is being knocked around and then they look outside and they see a giant tornado striking it, then coming out of the tornado is Courage Jr. in his chanchako vest and ocarina.

Then two cylinders levitate towards Junior as they spoke in a electronic voice, "Capture puppy! Priority one! By the Orders of Darkman and Bellaluna! Capture Puppy!" Junior Jumps out of their way and then throws his vest at them, wrapping them up. Junior then grabs the vest and tosses the two robots into the wall as the vest flies back to him.

Fusilli then goes up to Junior and says to him as he readies his sword, "I've been-a waitng for this-a moment!" Fusilli then tries to strike at Junior's tail but Junior fights off his blade with the ocarina he turned into a baton. Cajun then tosses some cleavers at Junior but he misses. Fred pulls out his razors and chases after Junior but he gets tossed aside by Junior who also dodges another strike from Fusilli's blade. Then Gail shows up and says, "Now it's time for your divine retribution... but first!" She uses her wind powers to destroy the tank, releasing princess.

Bellaluna then pulls out her red guy tail and she says to Fusilli, "Take a break friend... he's mine!" Then she attacks Junior with her tailisman as he fights back with her ocarina until he drops it. Bellaluna picks it up but the seal on the ocarina causes her hand to burn so she drops it and then Junior picks it up. Junior then tells her, "This ocarina was a gift from my dad, he also says it's supposed to protect me from evil and if evil touches it then it will burn that evil hand."

Bellaluna then continues to fight Junior with their weapons. Junior then says, "Before we end this fight I have one question to ask... just what is this tower?"

Bellaluna then answers, "Well my worthy nemesis... this was a mobile tower built by a scientist named Dr. Zalost, you should look at your book more... I did! I also have something that belongs to your father as well..." Then Computer's voice comes from Bellaluna's hat who just says, "Save me you twit!" Junior then says, "Wow, not only are you a stalker and a insane magic user but a theif as well... can you go any lower?" Bellaluna then says, "At least I refuse to harm human children... especially your owner! Oh and by the way dog, stay out of Nowhere, it's not worth it!"

Junior then uses the baton to trip Bellaluna as he runs to Princess and Gail in order to escape.

Cajun Fox then pulls out another cleaver and strikes Gail in the back. Bellaluna is horrified at the scene but Cajun Fox is even more horrified when the blade broke into pieces. Bellaluna then says to him, "You idiot, normal weapons have no effect against Goddesses! It's only if you dip them in hind's blood will it work!" Gail's eyes turn red as she says to Cajun, "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME! NOW'S YOUR DEVINE RETRIBUTION AWAITS!" Then Gail summons a huge tornado inside the tower that rocks it violently, then she places Courage Jr. and Princess in a cloud and gets them out of the tower while she prepares a special tornado that grows so much in mass that makes the whole tower fly away to parts unknown.

The cloud then lands in front of Edna and then Gail lands on the grassy knoll, she seems depressed as she says to Edna, "I am sorry for putting you through this but I miss my dog so much I just can't control myself." Princess then picks up Junior and hands to Edna as she says, "Puppy Dog rightfully belongs to you "Friend-Edna".

Courage Jr. then notices red mist appearing around him and Edna and then Junior then says, "Oh no! Whenever I see red mist then that means "they" will show up with another attempt to destroy me!" Princess then asks, "Which enemy is it Puppy Dog?"

Then Katherine and Katrina shows up and then Katherine uses her dark Ice powers to freeze Gail and Princess while Katrina strangles Courage Jr. as she says in her creepy British accent, "Now daddy's going to love us now!"

Katrina then sees Edna and then says, "No.. even better!" She tosses Courage Jr. to the ground as she levitates towards Edna and starts strangling her. Katherine then says in a sweet British accent, "Sister, what are you doing?" Katrina then replies, "Well sister dear, daddy seemed to have a obsession with targeting the stupid dog's owner... but now that she's dead we can always attack the stupid dog's son's owner instead... DIE!" Katherine then tries to hold her back and says, "No sis! We only came for the dog and his son so we must attack the dog and his son, no innocent bystanders!" Then Katrina grabs Edna and runs off but then she feels pain and so does Katherine. Katrina then says, "Oh darn, I forgot we feel pain if we are far apart from eachother, no matter I must destroy her!"

Katherine sees Courage Jr. and then picks him up and tosses him like a football and it hits Katrina, making her drop Edna and then Junior hits her on the head with the baton on his Ocarina. Soon the two fight while Katherine picks up Edna and says, "Forgive my sister, she is out of line at the moment."

Before Courage Jr. can deliver the finishing blow, Katherine grabs Courage Jr. and hands him to Edna and says to Katrina, "Sister, what you almost did was uncalled for and we must be going now." And so the two vanish into the red mists.

Soon the ice melted and then Gail asks, "Who were those two?"

Edna then hugs Junior as she says, "Those are Katherine and Katrina, the twin daughters of Junior's daddy's old nemesis Katz, they would appear at random and would try to attack him for some reason, but this is the first time the one in black tried to kill me. Ok, Katherine is the one in white with ice powers and seems to be the less violent of the two, Katrina is the one in black with fire powers and seems to be the brutal of the two.

Gail still shows sadness as she misses her dearly departed Duncan, then Princess then says, "And I was this close to owning my own puppy."

Courage Jr. then gets a great idea and says to the two, "Did I ever tell you about the place I was born and raised in?" Well..."

(A Hour Later)

Gail and Princess smile in glee and Gail asks, "So you mean to tell us that if we wanted a puppy of our own... we go to that puppy farm and adopt one of your brothers and sisters?" Courage Jr. nods and then says, "Under the condition that you don't let Bellaluna nor all of the meanie bo-beanies me and dad ever faced know where the place is. Princess hugs Junior and says, "You know me Puppy Dog! I've had your back since last Halloween!"

Then Princess starts singing and dancing:

"I'm gonna get a puppy! I'm gonna get a puppy! I'm gonna get a puppy! I'm gonna get a puppy!"

So Junior shows them a map to the Puppy Farm of Nowhere and then Gail creates a tornado to fly away in while Princess kisses Junior's nose and says, "Thank you "Puppy Dog!" Wish me luck!" and so she enters one of her puddles and goes on the quest to the Puppy Farm of Nowhere.

Then Edna picks up Junior and says, "Now that this situation is over let's have a day together boy, let's go have lunch at "Burgertime"!" And so Junior is put down and he holds Edna's hand with his paw as the two go out for lunch.

Unaware to Edna and Courage Jr., Ebe Adamski took pictures of the entire incident.

(Two Weeks Later)

After class ended, Edna then says to her friends, Edwina, Rachel, Jenny, and Ebe, "Bye guys, Me and Junior are expecting company today... and it might be a family reunion for him as well."

Junior then runs up to Edna and hugs her. Then they see a tornado flying towards them, it was Gail and she was holding a puppy that looks alot like Duncan. Gail then says, "Thank you so much Courage Jr., I finally found a cute, sweet, understanding doggy! Oh and I want to apologize for my actions, can you forgive me?"

Junior then licks Gail's face but then he suddenly gets hugged by Gail's puppy as the pupy says to him, "Hiya big brother!" Junior then says, "Hello umm... did you have a name?" The Puppy then replies, "Yep! Gail named me "Duncan Jr."!" Junior then says, "But umm... our dad is Courage how can... oh whatever makes Gail happy... besides you do look like Duncan."

Gail then says, "Yes my Duncan Jr. is so cute, sweet, and understanding! Also I have a gift for you, I noticed your magic ocarina and I want to improve it." Junior appears nervous but then the voice of the Magic Tree of Nowhere in the Ocarina then says to Junior, "It's alright, I trust her and it seems she wants to make amends."

Gail grabs the Ocarina and it glows a golden color. Then Gail says, "Now your Ocarina will have the ability to summon a whirlwind that can teleport you to certain destinations." Edna then asks, "Just like Link's Ocarina from "Legend of Zelda"? Gail seems confused by Edna's question but nods anyway.

And so after they said their goodbyes, Gail and Duncan Jr. fly away on a whirlwind.

Princess rises up from her puddle in front of Courage Jr. with a big smile on her face. She says to him, "Oh Courage Jr.!"

Courage Jr. and Edna gasp in amazement as she finally got his name right and Courage Jr. says in a shocking manner, "Princess... you finally said my name... YOU FINALLY SAID MY NAME!" Princess then adds, "Of Course, after spending many chapters with you fighting evil and protecting you... I grew attached to you... besides my new little friend says that's your name... and here she is... my new puppy!"

The two notice the puppy shys away from behind Princess. She is a puppy a tad shorter than Junior and looks like any member of the Courage Family except she has visable eyelashes and a big red bow on her head. The Puppy's eyes widen as she timidly asks, "Is that you Big Brother?" Courage Jr. smiles as he nods. Then the puppy tears up as she shouts, "BIG BROTHER!" And she gives Courage Jr. a hug.

Edna and Princess are touched by this moment and then Courage Jr. then says to them, "Oh sorry Edna, I want to introduce to you my little sister Valerie... Valerie the Cowardly Dog!"

Edna then thinks and says as she giggles, "Oooooh I get it, Valerie kinda sounds like "Valor" which also means bravery... which also means "Courage"!"

Courage Jr. then coldly looks at Edna and says, "Please don't explain the joke Edna, it almost killed the joyful reunion." Valerie then giggles and hugs Courage Jr. again.

NEXT TIME: due to a computer error, Edna and Courage Jr. have four weird stories to tell...

Hey Waitaminute... where did Dr. Bellaluna go anyway?

(The Land of Oz)

The Tower of Dr. Zalost is still flying in the tornado until it faded away and it fell to the ground. As Bellaluna, Fusilli and Cajun Fox come out of the Tower, they find themselves surrounded by Munchkins and then Bellaluna notices they crushed a woman. Bellaluna then says, "Oh no, I killed a person... it was a accident I swear!"

The Munchkins then cheered for Bellaluna and then the Mayor of Munchkin-land then says to them, "What are you talking about? You're our hero! You killed "The Really Wicked Witch of Jersey!" Then Bellaluna then makes the Tower lift up and he sees the Witch indeed looks kinda like Snooki. Bellaluna then says, "Geez, even OZ has their own version of Snooki, lower the tower boys!"

Then the leader of the Lollipop Guild then asks Bellaluna, "Would you like to stay for the festivies?" Bellaluna and her henchmen go back into the Tower as she replies, "Sorry but I have a quest to continue... but I'll do you guys a favor..." And so she removes the shoes of "The Really Wicked Witch of Jersey" and then goes back to the tower and crushes her again and makes the tower rise and continue it's way.

Bellaluna then turns on the computer and asks, "Ok, how do I go back to Somewhere?" Computer then replies, "Go back the same way you came you twit." Bellaluna then says, "You give me anymore sass and I'll duct tape a stick of dynamite on you!" Computer then replies, "I'll be good... twit!" Bellaluna then replies, "That's "Miss Twit" to you, Oh I'm gonna get you dog... I'm gonna get ya! ! However I'll do it next month, there won't be another tornado until November..."
