The Sleeping Daredevil

Summary: Wacko escapes from prison to get his revenge on Johnny by shooting a special arrow on him which would put its victim into eternal sleep, but it backfires when Kick gets caught instead of Johnny. But the only way to break the spell now is…true love's kiss.

Prison. The only place in the world where bad guys are put to justice, whether it's temporary or permanent. Life in there is tough and terrible. You don't get the good stuff from the other side of the law, you get the bad stuff. Some prisoners get used to it. Others just can't stand the poor conditions.

And on this very day in prison, one prisoner can't stand the poor conditions any longer. He wants out. Now.

"I hate this place!" Wacko yelled as he lies on his bed in his cell. "The food is horrible, the place is horrible, and everything in this place is horrible!"

"Why don't you shut your trap and have some quality time with me handsome?" Lois said to wacko from her own cell.

"Mrs. Griffin. Do you realize that you're married? To a fat, disgusting pig?"

"Oh don't play serious. I'm attracted to lots of men. Married or not."

"Hmm. Say Mrs. Griffin. How did you get in here in the first place?"

"Well let's see now. I'm here because I faked my murder and put the blame on Billy Stumps, Mellowbrook's famous daredevil. I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for Avery Buttowski, her cousin Kick, and her friend Johnny Test."

"Did you say Johnny Test?"

"Yeah why?"

"I'm here because of him as well."

"Then it looks like we have a lot in common my good man."

"Tell you what. If you help me escape from this joint, I'll help you get your revenge on Avery once and for all."

"Sound like a sweet deal. I'm in."

Few minutes before the lights go out in prison, Wacko and Lois hatched a plan to escape. At midnight, Lois distracts the police as Wacko gets out of prison. He and Lois were about to escape when all of a sudden, policemen chased after them. They came across a small hole and Wacko got inside quickly.

"Give me your hand Lois!" Wacko yelled at Lois. "We can escape from this place!"

"I can't," Lois replied. "This is your moment now. You use it wisely."

"But what about you?"

"I'll be fine. Besides, this is your story and you need to escape to finish the story."

Wacko nods as he escapes while Lois stayed behind to face the wrath of the police. Wacko was saddened that Lois stayed behind, but he kept his self-confidence.

"You better watch out Johnny Test." Wacko said to the dark sky. "Wacko's back! MWA HA HA HA HA!"

"This is boring," Brain Freezer whined as he and the other villains (Mr. Mittens, Albert and Zizrar) sat in their chairs at their respective HQ.

"Without Wacko in charge, we've got nothing." Mr. Mittens replied.

"If only he was here right now." Zizrar said.

As soon as he said those words, Wacko made an entrance which surprised the other villains.

"I'm back!" Wacko yelled.

"Finally." Mr. Mittens whined. "It's been forever."

"Now that I'm here once more, the Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5 is back in business!"

"So what's the plan this time?" Brain Freezer asked. "You're going to kidnap the kids and trap them in some sort of video-game?"

"Or put them to slavery and have them shipped off to Egypt where they'll be stranded there forever?" Mr. Mittens suggested.

"Or get Peter Griffin the fatass to fart on Johnny's face and then tell Avery a few sick jokes that would dearly please Lois?" Zizrar suggested as well.

"No, no and no," Wacko answered "I have a much more sinister plan in stored just for Johnny."

Wacko pulls out a black and purple arrow.

"What's with the arrow?" Brain Freezer spoke nervously. "Are you going to kill Johnny with that?"

"Now why would I do that?" Wacko replied. "I'm not going to kill Johnny. I'm going to put him to sleep. Eternal sleep that is."

"I don't get it." Zizrar spoke.

"Let me explain." Wacko said. "I created this arrow to not kill its victim but to render its victim into eternal sleep."

"That sounds like a great way to get revenge on Johnny." Mr. Mittens replied.

"Master Wacko." Albert spoke. "May I ask you this?"

"Yes." Wacko replied.

"If Johnny's friends are to know about this and would try to wake him up, what would be the cure of this, not like we really want to make a cure for it if necessary?"

"Excellent question. If Johnny's friends ever dare to stand in my way, even after Johnny is put into eternal sleep, the only way to wake him up is ... true love's kiss!"

"True love's kiss?" Mr. Mittens spoke in annoyance. "Really?"

"Well yeah, since Johnny doesn't believe in love, I figured that true love's kiss would be the perfect cure. Besides, there really isn't a girl that would be his lover."

"You do realize that it's Avery who is Johnny's girl." Brain Freezer replied.

Everyone stares at him.

"Why are you guys staring at me?"

But no answer.

"If you don't believe me, ask Brad."

Silence.

"Or Quagmire."

"Giggity!" Quagmire cried from nowhere.

"Get the hell out of here!" Mr. Mittens yelled at Quagmire.

"Aww."

Quagmrie left.

"Now enough with this chit-chat boys," Wacko said once more. "Let's find Johnny."

Johnny, Kick, Avery and Gunther are out buying ice-cream one Saturday afternoon. All they've done so far were prank calls, arcade games and stunts.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Gunther asked Johnny, Kick and Avery.

"More prank calls?" Johnny suggested.

"We better leave Bling-Bling Boy alone for a while," Kick replied. "He's been getting really upset in the last few hours."

"I guess you're right. How about we do a stunt at Devil's Grave?"

"Been there, done that."

The group head to their respective hangout to figure out what to do next, but they didn't notice that a certain someone is following them.

In prison Peter, Brian, Stewie and Chris are visiting Lois when all of a sudden; they've got words with the warden.

"What's the problem this time?" Brian asked the warden.

"Lois tried to escape last night and we had to put her back in her cell." The warden replied. "It seems that she is kinda involved during the escape of Wacko."

"Yeah well women these days are stupid." Peter remarked. "All they can think of are the dangers and the life in the fast lane and being dumb bitches."

"Can we still see her?" Chris asked.

"I think so." The warden replied. "If she behaves."

"And if not, then we'll make that red-haired bitch behave." Stewie remarked.

The warden orders the police to escort the Griffin men to Lois' cell where they saw Lois sitting quietly on her bunk.

"Lois," Peter spoke which caught Lois' attention. "We're here."

"Peter." Lois cried as she ran up to him and gave him a kiss. "What are you and the kids doing here?"

"Why we're here to visit you. We were so lonely without you."

"I know. I'm just glad I get to see my family again."

"Uh Lois," Brian spoke. "We forgot about Meg."

"Ah who needs her anyway," Peter remarked, acting like he doesn't care. "No one wants her anyway. She's fat. She's ugly. She's whinny and she's a loser. Who the hell would miss Meg anyway? I'm glad she's out of our lives."

"Peter," Brian spoke to Peter. "Isn't there something you'd like to tell Lois?"

"No."

"Wouldn't you like to tell Lois about your trip to the barber shop or something?"

"The barber shop?" Lois asked who then faced Peter with a serious look. "What happened this time?"

"Lois," Peter spoke nervously. "The barber shop is evil. Kick Buttowski tried to kill me."

"Am I supposed to believe that? Kick is 13 years old and you think that a 13 year old barber is going to kill a grown man like you?"

"It's true Lois. I saw it with my own eyes."

"He's been watching too many cartoons again." Brian replied.

"I watch a lot of cartoons!" Chris cried happily. "I even watched My Little Pony, Problem Solverz and other cartoons."

"Oh great," Stewie said in disgust. "A 14 year old that acts like a 2 year old. How marvelous."

Meanwhile, Kick, Avery, Johnny and Gunther are still bored until all of a sudden, Wacky Jackie appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Kick with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh Kick." Jackie spoke gleefully. "I hope you're not forgetting something important today."

"What's important today?" Kick asked.

"Don't be silly. Today's the sock hop dance at our school."

"The sock hop dance!" All cried. They seemed to forget all about the sock hop dance at their school which is taking place today at 8pm.

"Oh so you do remember the sock hop dance." Jackie said to Kick once more. "Will you take me to the sock hop dance tonight? I've got my lucky socks cleaned this morning."

"Sorry," Kick replied calmly. "But I'm taking Kendall."

"You're taking Kendall?" Jackie's eyes grew wide as she is green with envy. "Why her? Why not me?"

"I'll take you to the sock hop dance if you want." Gunther said to Jackie, hoping it would win her affection.

"Some help you are," Jackie replied to Gunther.

"Speaking of the sock hop dance," Avery said as she looks at her watch. "We better get ready."

Everyone agrees as they leave their hangout to get ready for the dance.

Meanwhile, the Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5 searched far and wide for Johnny. Just when all hopes is lost for them; there they saw Johnny, Kick and Gunther walking in the cul-de-sac. It seems that Avery and Jackie are already home, getting ready for the sock hop dance.

"There he is men," Wacko whispered to Zizrar, Mr. Mittens, Albert and Brain Freezer as they hid behind the bushes. "There's Johnny. And his friends, the daredevil and the chubby Viking."

Wacko then looked at Brain Freezer who is holding a crossbow with a black and purple arrow geared up.

"Get ready to fire at will Brain Freezer," Wacko instructed Brain Freezer. "It must be a good shot."

Brain Freezer nodded as he aims the arrow at Johnny. The shot must be perfect. He got a good aim and...

...he shoots.

The arrow went at rapid speed towards Johnny whose back was turned. Although Johnny didn't know it at first since he's not much of a defensive kid, Kick was however on high alert as he could feel the arrow's vibes. It was heading straight to Johnny and Johnny himself isn't aware of the situation he is in right now. There is no way that arrow is going to hit Johnny. Being as selfless as he is Kick pushes Johnny aside from the arrow's way and Gunther, who is now aware of this situation, saw the whole thing.

Kick saved Johnny's life, but he didn't save his own. The arrow hits Kick's chest real hard. He cried in pain as he collapsed and lost consciousness.

In the bushes, the Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5 saw the whole thing and boy, was Wacko burning red. He had worked so hard to get his revenge on Johnny but in the end, Kick got in the way by saving Johnny's life. But unfortunately, it cost him his own life.

"You're such a lousy shooter!" Wacko yelled at Brain Freezer. "You've shot the wrong kid!"

"Sorry," Brain Freezer replied. "But Kick pushed Johnny out of the way."

"That was the only arrow I made, just for Johnny and now, my plan to get revenge on Johnny is ruined. I just hope Kick makes it through eternal sleep."

"What makes you say that?" Mr. Mittens asked Wacko, looking rather suspicious.

"Well I guess I failed to tell you guys something important about that arrow," Wacko replied. "Remember when I said that I created that arrow to not kill its victim but to render its victim into eternal sleep?"

"Yes."

"I lied. I actually did create that to kill its victim."

"Is Kick dead already?"

"No. He's at the eternal sleep stage. What time is it?"

"Quarter to six." Brain Freezer replied. "Why?"

"He'll be in the eternal sleep stage until the stroke of midnight." Wacko told Brain Freezer. "Then when midnight comes, he'll be a dead daredevil."

"Don't you think that's murder Master Wacko?" Albert asked Wacko.

"Maybe, but I did mentioned a cure for this, but it'll only work before midnight. It's true love's kiss that can save Kick's life."

"Ah. Now we know." Mr. Mittens said.

"Let's bolt before Johnny sees us." Wacko warned the others.

The Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5 retreat back to their headquarters. Meanwhile Johnny and Gunther circled around Kick's lifeless body with grief in their eyes.

"If Kick hasn't pushed me out of the way, I'd been dead," Johnny cried. "A dead flame-headed kid by the way."

"Wait a minute," Gunther said as he checked Kick's pulse. "He's still alive. But I don't think he'll wake up anytime now."

Gunther watched as Johnny jerks the black and violet arrow off from Kick's chest.

"We better head to my cousin's lab and have January do some research on this arrow." Johnny told Gunther. "If that arrow didn't kill Kick, then what did it do to him instead?"

"Render him unconscious I think." Gunther replied. "That arrow's shot was just a few inches closer to Kick's heart. If it was shot directly at his heart, he would've been a dead daredevil."

"Just grab his body and follow me to the lab. We have to get to the bottom of this and more important, who would do such a thing like that."

Gunther nodded as he followed Johnny to the mansion while carrying an unconscious Kick. As they get to the mansion, they saw smoke coming out from the lab. When the smoke cleared, they saw Susan making another love potion.

"Didn't January tell you not to make love potions?" Johnny asked Susan.

"I couldn't help it Johnny," Susan replied. "I've got to get Gil to love me!"

"If January sees all of this, I don't know what she'll do to you, but to me, I'll just sit down and watch the whole thing."

"What are you doing here and why are you carrying Kick's body?" Susan asked. "Is he dead?"

"No he's unconscious after he got hit by that black and violet arrow that came out of nowhere." Johnny replied. "Since you're already in the lab, help us out on how to wake Kick up."

"Why should I?"

"If you don't, I'll tell January about that love potion you made today."

Susan sighed as she takes the arrow off of Johnny's hand and placed Kick's body on a metal table so that she can analyze what's happening to Kick after the arrow had hit him. What Susan found was interesting, yet very dark and twisted.

"So what information did you find?" Gunther asked Susan.

"It turns out that Kick is in eternal sleep." Susan replied. "He may never wake up again. But it also turns out that the arrow had some sort of chemical formula inside that made Kick unconscious and fall asleep when it hit him."

"Did you find out who the shooter was?" Johnny asked.

"There's a crown on the arrow with a W on it. I'll give you three guesses."

"Wacko." Johnny hissed. "So he's the one behind all this."

"But I don't get it," Gunther said. "The last time we saw him, he was in jail."

"Well now it looks like that he escaped," Johnny replied. "And I think I know where he is right now."

Back at their HQ, the Johnny Stopping Evil Force 5 are thinking about Kick's sudden fate when Johnny X burst in.

"Wacko!" Johnny X cried as he tackles Wacko. "I should've known you were behind Kick's sudden fate!"

"It's not what it looks like Johnny." Wacko tried to speak. "That arrow was meant to get you, not Kick."

Johnny gets mad after hearing what Wacko had told him. He pinned Wacko to the wall angrily.

"YOU WERE TRYING TO KILL ME!?" Johnny yelled at Wacko. "AFTER ALL THIS TIME, YOU WENT BACK INTO TRYING TO KILL ME!?"

"Well it's not my fault that I'm a super villain." Wacko replied. "I did try to get even with you after what had happened the last time I took over this town."

"One, I was brainwashed by you and two, Kick put you in jail, not me."

"Well now that makes sense. But still, I was trying to kill you, not Kick."

"Isn't there a way to bring him back to life?"

"Yes, but it'll only work before midnight. It's true love's kiss."

Johnny barfed.

"True love's kiss? Yuck!"

"Sorry but that's the only way to revive Kick, otherwise he'll be a dead daredevil when midnight comes."

"You are sick and twisted!"

"What time is it now?"

"6:45. Why?"

"You've got to hurry and find the girl that Kick loves, or else he'll die."

"When this is over, I'm putting you back to jail."

"Don't count on it Johnny Test."

But Johnny left.

Back at the mansion, Johnny told Susan and Gunther the whole story.

"True love's kiss?" Gunther asked. "Isn't there another way to wake Kick up?"

"Nope, that's the only cure Wacko had in mind." Johnny replied. "But once this is all over, Wacko is so going back to jail."

"But how do we know which girl is Kick's true love?"

"It's Kendall."

"Oh … uh?"

"Let's pay Kendall a little visit before the sock hop dance starts."

()()()()()

Several minutes later, Johnny and Gunther arrived at Kendall's house and told Kendall the whole story.

"So let me get this straight," Kendall spoke to Johnny. "Wacko escaped from jail, created an arrow that was meant to put you to sleep but Kick pushed you out of the way and got caught instead and the only way to wake him up is true love's kiss before midnight?"

"That's the whole story." Johnny replied.

"So are you going to help us?" Gunther asked Kendall.

"Since Wacko is the one behind all this," Kendall spoke as she pumps her fists. "I'll do it for Kick's sake. Where to?"

"TO THE LAB!" Johnny cried as he, Gunther and Kendall ran off.

Back to the lab, it was only 7:30. Johnny, Gunther, Susan and Kendall circled around Kick's body.

"But what if I'm not Kick's true love?" Kendall asked.

"Kick loves you," Gunther replied. "Trust us."

Kendall sighed as she leans forward to Kick and then kisses him on the lips. She moves back in hopes for changes to happen. Just then, Kick opens his eyes and quickly searched himself to see if any damage was made while he was asleep.

"What just happened?" Kick asked.

"This was all Wacko's fault." Johnny told Kick. "If Wacko ever shows his face again, we'll put him in jail for good."

"And we did it just before the sock hop dance!" Gunther cheered.

"The sock hop dance! I almost forgot!" Kick cried. "I've got to ask Kendall."

"I'm right here." Kendall informed Kick as she kissed him again. "And yes I'll go to the sock hop dance with you."

"While I go see what Avery is up to," Johnny replied as he transforms into Johnny X. "And put Wacko in jail along the way too."

"And I'll ask Jackie to be my date." Gunther replied.

"And I'll make another love potion to win Gil's heart once more." Susan replied, but received stares from the others. "Never mind."

Avery had a bath already is now deciding on which outfit should she choose for the sock hop dance. She wanted to look best, but not too best for fear that she might ruin her reputation. As she is busy choosing an outfit, she noticed Johnny X flying with Wacko tied up.

"Johnny?" Avery asked. "What are you doing and why is Wacko tied up?"

"It's a long story." Johnny replied. "And besides, Wacko escaped from jail again."

"What did he do this time?"

"Tried to get revenge on me by putting me to sleep, but he got Kick instead and Kendall woke him up with true love's kiss."

"Well you know the ol' saying, opposites attracts."

"Anyway when I'm done with Wacko here, how about going to the sock hop with me? As a date."

"Cool. How long are you going to take before you get back here?"

"10 minutes top!"

Then Johnny left to do his business.

Extra Scene:

10 minutes later, Wacko is back in his jail cell, but what caught his attention is that Lois isn't in her jail cell.

"She must've escaped while I was gone." Wacko said to himself.

Outside the prison, we see Lois' silhouette running towards the woods.
