OK, time to wrap this three-part series with a boss battle, and with the one, the only… in the sounding voice of Dr. Nefarious: "Klunk!" Yup, this chapter centers on the little robot clone of Clank, and this here will show the true power of the Transmorpher program. Get ready for some action and a whole lot of beating up.
And I still have the Vreedles and Cad Bane in this. I'll get rid of them towards the end (not kill them!)

Chapter Twenty-Nine – The Eds v. Klunk
"I could see your future with a sweet child in your life, Double D."
Mechanical Reaper: ninety-six percent completed
At the Dreadzone station, Gandolfini is welding in the left arm into the torso of the Mechanical Reaper. He has gotten through seven-eighths of the arm, getting all of the wires and loose articles inside when he put the arm to the torso. He looks away from his creation to look at the HoloVision monitor, only to notice that the Eds are on their way off the planet and back to the station. The tion bursts away from the Mechanical Reaper and runs over to the computer, furiously typing all sorts of commands that are going out to blimp.
"Come in film crew," Gandolfini furiously said. "Are you there?"
The screen alters and Marsha's bright devil face appears on the screen. "Hello Gandolfini!"
"You little brat! What have you done with my Transmorphers?" the tion asked.
"Oh, they're here," Marsha replied, "except all of them are on the floor dead."
The engineer slams his robot arm into the keyboard and lets out a roar. "What happened to them?"
"Let me tell you, it wasn't one of us," York replied, showing up on the same monitor.
"If I find out that if any of you two were behind this," Gandolfini said, "you wish you haven't mess with the likes of me!"
He shuts the monitor off and got back to work on the arm. He needs to finish this project before the Eds get to the station, otherwise they will be in the stadium fighting Dr. Nefarious and defeating him, giving them the rights to leave the stadium. And then there's Mask Hero…
To the tion, he knows that the masked teen knows all about him before and he remembers some things about the past. He couldn't put his finger to it, but he can't seem to remember the face to his apprentice, but whatever is under that mask holder is the key to preventing the end of DreadZone. Even if it means using only an incomplete robot to prevent the faith of the grandest of all robot legions that the universe have ever seen.
Gandolfini got back to his work, finally sealing the left arm to the torso.
Mechanical Reaper: ninety-seven percent completed.
OOO
"Boy, wait 'til we tell him that the collars are ineffective," Marsha said, kicking back in her chair.
"But what will happen once the Eds get off the planet?" York asked. "I mean, they were sent here to be killed in the first place."
"I'm pretty sure that they can handle whatever Gandolfini throws at them," the little girl said. "If there is anything that they can overcome, I'm sure that there's nothing that Gandolfini can do to stop them."
Behind them, the Eds are flying out from the hanger on the island and are out in the open air. Double D is piloting them far from the base and is getting them ready for the space travel. Eddy is looking over a pamphlet that he found in a glove compartment in front of him, reading about how the Hovership that they are in can work in space.
"Here's something about getting this in space," the small Ed said.
"Really? May I see that?" Double D asked.
Eddy hands the pamphlet over to the smart Ed and he begins to look over the booklet. He looks over the section about the space travel, carefully studying every ounce of detail he could before the Eds dare to go out into open space. Double D then closes the pamphlet and hands it back over to Eddy, where he takes it and shoves it back into the glove compartment.
"Hello Eds, it's me."
"James, is that you?" Double D said.
"I'm calling from down below on the island," the bounty hunter replied. "Listen, I need you three to help me blow up this place."
"Wait, why?"
"It has to do with not only the potentials of having Dreadzone use this place again," Deadeye replied, "but also to prevent the pirates that used this base again."
"There are pirates here?" Ed asked.
"Used to," James replied. "Thanks to Dreadzone operating here, the pirates have to relocate to a moon not-so-far from here. But, after hearing about you leaving this place, they decided to move back here."
"What's so bad about pirates?" Eddy asked.
"Think of it Eddy," Double D said. "If they operate here, they are going to be pillaging precious stuff from passers-by and they will be killing innocent people as well."
Eddy begins to think about it and then lets out a heavy sigh. "Fine, we're in," he said.
"Thanks a lot," James replied. "Now, while I wasn't helping you, I secretly place explosives around the base when the film crew didn't notice. And here is where you three come in. The explosives I set contain enough punch that will send me to the Solana galaxy if I'm not careful and they can't be triggered by a simple press of a button."
"You want Ed to shoot the explosives?" Double D asked.
"I couldn't say it better," the bounty hunter replied. "Don't worry though. I'll be up with you to get the ones on the other side of the mountain."
"All right, thank you," Double D said, turning off the radio. "So, we got one more challenge before we are leaving."
"Why can't this end right here and right now?" Eddy asked. "I mean, haven't we gone through enough already?"
They felt the ship tip down and the boys grab a hold onto their seats for the dive. Instead, the ship comes back up and the Eds rock for a bit. Once the Hovership stop rocking, the boys in the cockpit look outside to see what made the Hovership rock. Standing on the nose of the ship is, to the Eds, the robot from a long time ago.
"Is that Clank?" Double D asked.
"Who?"
"You know, the little robot that was with Ratchet?" the smart Ed said.
"Oh, I know what you're talking about," Eddy replied.
"I'm back!" the small robot said dramatically.
OOO
At the station, the children of Team Cul-de-Sac are now deep in the core of the station, practically almost to the main power source that is the heart of the Dreadzone X Station. The children are setting up the explosives that will eventually set the stage for the grand finale of DreadZone, and hopefully get them off the station and back home on Earth. Mask Hero come racing into the room that the kids are in, using a makeshift shield that he made with one of his masks to block the shots from Range Strikers.
"How things going with those explosives?" the masked teen asked.
"We're almost done with the final bag," Kevin replied.
A Range Striker shoots above Mask Hero's shield and towards over one of the explosives are. The blast misses the explosives, only bouncing off the pipes and onto the catwalk that the children are on.
"Hey, watch where you are shooting that thing!" Nazz shouted.
Mask Hero pins the shield down into the catwalk and takes his sword to slice off the heads of the gunmen. He then places the sword in the sheath and walks up to the kids to help them out with the project, while wearing his Shield Mask.
"In order to prevent anyone from entering in here, I need to keep this mask on," Hero said. "Otherwise, the shield will disappear, and we will be making our graves here."
"Rolf wishes that he will spend his final moments with Rolf's animals," Rolf said.
"Once we get out of here first," Kevin said.
The humans walk up to the main generator and begin to marvel at such a creation. Here, standing right in front of them, is the heart of the station and one of Gandolfini's many creations when he created the station from scrap metals. He made a generator that is supplying power to the whole station, the one that is holding the gladiators that are now realizing that their collars are off and they can leave the station by the guidance of Noweg. The generator is very hot, making enough radiating for one of the humans to become fully cook if they touch the metal.
"This is a job for me," Hero said, taking out the Time Shift Mask. "This generator is too hot for anyone to touch, so I can slow down time to a standstill to allow me to freely touch the hot metal without getting burn."
"But what about the shield?" Jimmy asked.
"I'll move faster than the speed of light," the masked gladiator said. "That shield will remain standing once I done."
He reaches for his Shield Mask and quickly places the Time Shift Mask on and then disappears, going forth with moving at ten times the speed of light and placing the bombs all over the generator. Just before the shield begins to disappear, Mask Hero reappears with the Shield Mask on and the shield is back to normal.
"See? There's nothing wrong with the shield," he said.
"You think you can teach me this stuff?" Jonny asked.
"Sorry, but it takes years to master using the masks I have," the teen replied. He walks up and grabs the shield from the catwalk. "Come on, we need to get out of here before Gandolfini can get here."
OOO
"I don't understand. How did you get here and where is Ratchet?" Double D asked.
"I don't know what you are talking about," the Clank robot said. "I don't know of a Ratchet of any sorts, and I'm not this Clank you speak of."
"Then what are you?" Eddy asked sharply.
"Don't you remember me?" the small robot asked. "We fought a while back and I'm here to get my revenge."
"That's what we're not getting," the smart Ed replied. "We don't remember fighting you. We remember seeing you with Ratchet and you have an argument with Dr. Nefarious."
"Me? An argument with my creator? Impossible."
"Creator? Dr. Nefarious is your creator?" Eddy asked.
"Yes," the small robot replied. "And not to mention that I am also created by the great Gandolfini Birman, for he is the one that programmed me."
"Eddy, we got a problem on our hands," Ed said.
"You don't have to tell me twice," the small Ed replied. "This robot is getting us nowhere but sitting in the air."
"Wait, I'm figuring something out," Double D said. "I think I know who you are."
"You do?" the robot replied.
"You're the one that we fought back at Icicles-R-Us, correct?"
The robot grew a devilish grin. "That's right, I am the very S.A.N.T.A. Transmorpher program that you humans fought against," the robot replied, "but in reality, I am Klunk, the Clank clone built by Dr. Nefarious!"
"Clunk? That has to be a joke," Eddy said.
"That's Klunk with a K to you," Klunk replied. "And now, I'm here to extract my revenge! Say goodbye, squishies!"
Klunk jumps from the Hovership and begins to fly with a pair of jets hidden in his feet. He then morphs his hand into a bigger one and he slams the fist down on the Hovership. The Eds hold on as they take a dive towards the ocean water below. Klunk comes flying up from behind, tailing the ship as his other hand morphs into a pliers claws, clamping onto the tail of the ship and swing in around. The little robot then swings the Hovership towards where the blimp is, and Double D takes full control of the failing ship, making sure that the two vehicles don't collide.
"That was too close," he said.
"That little thing is beating us up!" Eddy shouted. "We need to fight back!"
"I know, but what about destroying the base?" asked Double D.
"Don't worry about that," Deadeye James replied. "I'm sure taking out the robot is more important than blowing this station sky high. Just leave the explosives to me."
Outside, the Eds could see the transport ship that they were previously on, now being piloted by none other than the bounty hunter himself. He takes the ship away as Double D pushes down on the control to move the Hovership forward to attack Klunk. Eddy mans the turret and begins to fire the machine gun at the little robot, with every shot missing the robot every time.
"Is that the best you can do?" asked Klunk.
Klunk morphs his hands into giant variations of them and puts them forward to block the bullets. When the Hovership is near, the robot takes a fist and punches the ship's nose, causing the ship to spin out of control and far away from the little robot. Then Klunk morphs his hands into rocket launchers and begins to fire off rockets. After Double D straightens out the Hovership, Ed fires missiles to counter the rockets heading towards them.
"This is going to be a stalemate if things are going this way," Double D said.
"But this haven't really begun," Eddy replied.
"True," the smart Ed said, "but seeing how our enemy is yet another Transmorpher, he could morph his way out of this situation and we'll be out of resources by the time he hits full power."
"You mean like we fought against Santa?" Ed asked.
"Yes, like we're fighting against S.A.N.T.A," the smart Ed replied.
"Only a lot smaller and more destructive," Eddy added.
Klunk comes charging towards the Hovership and is stopped as a yellow ship comes up and shoots a laser from a cannon on it. The Eds look to see that the Vreedles have taken to the air and are shooting at not only them, but Klunk as well.
"Who do we have here?" Klunk said.
"All right you humans, this here is a stick-up," Octagon said, blasting it out over an intercom. "Now what Rhamboid got here is a highly destructive cannon that is considered an anti-air weapon. So I highly suggest that you surrender yourselves and handle over yourselves to our ship."
"Or else that we come a blasting!" Rhamboid shouted.
"Who are these two?" Marsha asked.
"Just a couple of moronic repos from a couple of galaxies away," York replied. "Really, they can do the job, but they are no good at it."
"Repos? What will they be doing out here, repossessing something that the pirates stole?" Marsha asked.
"By the looks of it, they're after the Eds," York said.
"Now, are you going to surrender or do we have to continue shooting you down?" Octagon asked.
"Why won't these guys give it up?" Eddy moans, sliding down in his chair.
"Who are you two?" Klunk asked.
"It's none of your business," Rhamboid replied.
"Well, it is now!" Klunk responded.
The little robot takes a morphed rocket launching hand and shoots a single rocket at the brothers' ship. Octagon pilots the ship out of the way, while Rhamboid holds onto a bar that is made for one of them to grab on while they are moving, and they watch as the rocket sail on before exploding underneath the blimp. The shock wave rocks the inside of the blimp, shaking everyone as the smoke clears outside.
"Only on Dreadzone X where you can be part of the battle," York said.
"This isn't time to be part of no stinking battle!" Marsha snapped. "We need to get out of here before we get blown to pieces!"
"Actually, that won't happen," a voice said on the radio. "You see, as long as Klunk is in charge of this battle, no one is getting out alive."
"Who is this?" a producer asked.
"The creator, of course!" the voice replied. "Dr. Nefarious, the very one that built Klunk!"
"But we all thought that you're dead!" York shouted, lying since he knows that Nefarious is very much alive.
"Not anymore!" Nefarious replied. "Now that I'm back, I'm taking matters into my own hands, and with Klunk out there, I get to show the universe once again that I'm the top dog around here!"
He lets out one of his laughs and the transmission got cut, leaving only static.
Marsha only shakes her head. "For a bad guy, he's really pathetic when it comes to public appearances," she said.
"You can say that again," the muscle man said.
Eddy got up from his seat and decides to head outside to take on Klunk, with the Dual Cyclos in hand to grab onto the robot. Double D brings the Hovership in close enough to where Eddy can grab Klunk within the reach of the yo-yo's, while keeping the ship from going so fast that could knock Eddy off the ship. The small Ed swings the yo-yo's at Klunk and he latches onto the small robot, tightening the grip on the yo-yo's and pulling on the string to make sure that Klunk is snag with the Dual Cyclos.
Then Klunk begins to jet up, dragging along Eddy as Klunk takes the small Ed for a ride. While Double D begins to chase after them, the Vreedles come in and slams their ship into the Hovership, knocking them away from the flying robot and turning to the brothers with the heavy arsenal.
"Just where you think you're going?" Rhamboid asked.
"Home," replied Ed.
"Yes, back to the home in the sky!" Octagon shouted, pushing down on his control.
The ship again heads for the Eds' Hovership and Double D pushes down on a lever that raises and lowers the ship, bringing it up enough for them to allow the Vreedle Brothers to slip underneath. Rhamboid shoots his gun, taking a chunk out from the belly but not enough to do real damage to the Ed's flight. Then Klunk comes around with Eddy still behind and the robot pulls on the string to swing Eddy forward and down to the ground. While Eddy is falling, he hits the roof to the Vreedles' ship, skidding across with limbs bent in strange positions and making unusual popping noises.
"Ooh, that sounds like it hurt," Marsha said, groaning.
Double D pushes down on the Revive button and Eddy comes back to life, fully heal and standing back on his feet. The small Ed makes his hair spin, giving him the lift needed to get off the Vreedles' ship and into the air. Then he takes out the Dual Vipers and starts to shoot the little robot down, but Klunk is too nimble for Eddy to hit. Double D pilots over to Eddy and he hops onto the Hovership to get back of the cockpit.
"OK, got any bright ideas?" the small Ed asked.
"So far, we continue to hit everything we got," replied Double D, "but eventually we will be dealing with a much tougher version and we will be taking a drink."
"Oh, boy!"
"He doesn't mean it in a good way," Eddy corrected.
Ed got up from the turret he is in and steps outside to get himself ready for the fight. He takes out the Arbiter and shoots out a single round, heading straight and hitting Klunk. The robot took notice of the rocket before it explodes, knocking the robot down to the earth before flying back up. He takes his hands and morphs them back into rocket launchers and he launches tens of rockets towards the Eds' ship. Using everything he knows, Double D leans the controls to the left and begins to barrel roll out of the way, while Ed is still standing on top.
"Eddy, I may have drop Ed off by accident!" the smart Ed said.
A trail of smoke appears above the Hovership, signaling that it came from the Arbiter. "Never mind."
This time, Klunk kicks the rocket away, sending it towards the Vreedles' ship. Octagon steers the ship away from the Arbiter's missile in time before it can hit the ship, allowing the rocket to shoot by and explode in mid-air. Then Ed takes out the RYNO and begins to pull the trigger, sending a hundred missiles barrage at the small robot. Klunk prepare for the barrage by morphing its hands into long spears and the he begins to swat away the RYNO's missiles, sending them off in different directions before exploding.
Then, one miss swing, and Klunk takes a missile straight into him.
"Yes, that's what we're talking about!" Eddy shouted.
The smoke clears and Klunk is still standing, holding onto his hip and it flies back to its fighting position. The group can see that the robot took the full blast of the RYNO missile, but it hit only the side of the robot, making it capable of still fighting the Eds.
"You think that was your best shot?" Klunk shouted. "Well, allow me to say that with that blast, I think it's time to kick things up a level!"
"This isn't good," Double D said.
Klunk leans in and begins to morph his body, starting with his torso and then moving out. During the process, he got bigger and bigger, as big as when the Eds fought against S.A.N.T.A, only Klunk is going beyond that point. His torso grew to the size of what the Hovership is if it is standing on its nose, and the hands and feet are a quarter of the size, while his head is still the same size from the normal little robot. And then the robot exposes the inside of it, showing off the Transmorpher program that is running inside of him.
"And now, witness the power of Big Klunk!" Klunk said.
The now large robot morphs its muscles on its arms to make them look larger and then it swings a fist at the Eds, slamming down harder when he hit them before and sending them farther to the ground than before. Double D struggles to get the ship back up, but the force they are going at is too great for them to head up. Then at that moment, right before they touch the ground, Double D pulls back on the controls to bring the ship backwards and then he got the ship up to head back up.
Up in the skies, the Vreedles take their turn at the large robot, with Rhamboid giving everything they got at Klunk. Klunk takes every blast that they shot at him, and he in turn shoots a modify laser turret from his hand and shoots the Vreedle Brothers' ship head on. The ship begins to flip, with Rhamboid hanging onto the ship as hard as he could to prevent him from go flying.
"We aren't getting anywhere with this thing keep blocking our attacks," Octagon said, still using the intercom.
Rhamboid points out the Eds coming up from behind Klunk. "But what about them?" he asked.
"Forget about them for the time being," his brother replied. "We got to eliminate this robot before we can call this planet our graves."
Octagon shifts the crankshaft into high gear and the ship plows towards the big Klunk, getting faster in hopes to break the robot. Double D comes up from behind and Ed shoots off a few missiles at Klunk. The large robot got ready for the attack and he flies straight up, allowing the missiles to hit only the Vreedles instead of Klunk.
"Hey, we're trying to help you out here!" Octagon shouted.
"Sorry!" Double D replied.
At that moment, Klunk comes crashing right on top of both the Eds and the brothers, sending them back to the earth. The pilots got their ships in control in time before they can crash into the ground and they got back up to confront Klunk again. As they are coming up, the robot charges up two beams in his heads and he launch the beams, while the pilots shifted out of the way in time before those beams hit. They fly out of the way while Klunk continues to shoot the beams until he stops his attack.
Double D and Octagon swing their ships around and they again try to hit Klunk, with Rhamboid preparing his cannon and Ed stepping out to take a couple of swings. Double D stops the Hovership, allowing the force of the stop to launch Ed and send him towards Klunk. The robot turns to see the Ed coming and Rhamboid takes the shot, hitting the backside of Klunk while Ed hits the very front of the massive robot with the Neo-Crushers.
Eddy got outside and uses a Dual Cyclo to lasso Ed back towards the Hovership and Ed fires off a rocket from the Arbiter. While Klunk is recovering from the assault, Octagon slams the ship deep into Klunk and Rhamboid chunks a small explosive charge inside of the open wound. As the brothers back away, the bomb went off, and the wound got wider while spilling out pipes down to the island.
"Heh, we got to keep at least one charge on us," Octagon said.
At that moment, the wound that they made begins to heal, with the Transmorpher program repairing the damage that the Eds and the Vreedles have made, bringing Klunk back to stable conditions. But the program stops fixing the robot and he begins to wobble from the beating that he took.
"Again, this is a predicament that I did not anticipate," Octagon said.
"Fools! You think that you can beat a Transmorpher?" Klunk said. "You may be able to beat the smaller models, but you cannot kill the master program!"
"And this is why we should be out of here," Eddy said.
"Wait, I think I have an idea," Double D said. "Remember those bombs that Ratchet gave us?"
"You mean the one that Ed used when we left that moon?"
"Those," the smart Ed replied. "Maybe we can use one of them and hopefully bring Klunk down. But first, I need to see yours."
"Why can't you use yours?" asked Eddy.
"I figure that I could use mine later," Double D responded. "Now, may I please see yours?"
Eddy fumbles around his suit before he takes out his Groovitron Bomb and handing it to Double D. The smart Ed cracks it open and begins to tinker with it, while Eddy walks out of his chair and heads outside to continue the fight. The small Ed takes out the Dual Vipers and uses them to attract Klunk's attention away from the Vreedle Brothers and on them.
Ed then uses the missiles that the boys still have left and use them all to try to bring the robot down, but they did little to destroy the robot. Eddy takes out the Dual Cyclos and he uses them on Klunk's arms, tying them to the wrists and reel him in so Eddy can use the Scorpion Flail on the large robot. After getting close enough, the small Ed ties the string down and he flings the Scorpion Flail from his personnel to hit Klunk in the stomach.
Klunk then breaks free from the yo-yo's and Ed takes over for Eddy, switching out and taking out the RYNO. He then pulls the trigger, using whatever is left inside of the RYNO on the large robot and hitting the wound that Eddy made with the Scorpion Flail. After the RYNO is done, Ed switches out it for the Arbiter and fires three missiles into the robot. The timers went off, creating a large enough explosion to knock away Klunk from the Eds.
"Got it!" Double D shouted, holding up the Groovitron Bomb. "Now throw this directly above Klunk's head, and we should be able to defeat him."
"Why did you have to modify it?" Eddy asked.
"I need to get the right amount of explosive power needed to defeat the Transmorpher program once and for all," the smart Ed said, handing the bomb over to Eddy. "Now that's only one shot, so be careful."
Then, a brown ship comes into view, flying all the way down to the island as Cad Bane prepares himself for his escape off the planet.
"With that battle going on in the skies, I better take a turn around it," the bounty hunter said, getting onto the ship.
He jumps inside of the cockpit and begins to take control of the ship. He lifts the ship off the ground and up to where the battle is taking place, taking a right turn and heading for the Dreadzone blimp.
"Just where do you think you're going?" Klunk said, shooting out a tractor beam from his hand.
The beam attracts Bane's ship, grabbing a hold and reeling the bounty hunter into the battle. He tries to escape the beam, but Klunk proves to be too powerful to break away from. Then Klunk reels Bane in enough to take a good punch at the ship, knocking Bane over to where the blimp is. The robot lets out an evil laugh as Eddy steps out, holding onto the Groovitron Bomb.
"This is for everything!" he shouted, tossing the bomb.
The bomb sails through the air, going as fast as it could as it sails over to Klunk. The large robot turns to see the bomb coming but he reacted too late for him to stop the bomb. The bomb activates, sending out lights and playing disco music, while sending signals out to make whoever listening to the music to dance.
Klunk is the first one to start dancing, since he is at the direct core of the Groovitron Bomb, follow by Eddy, Ed and Double D. Marsha and York soon start to dance, which is then follow by the rest of the film crew. Then the Vreedles begin to dance, with Octagon shimming in the driver seat and Rhamboid dancing on the outside of the ship. Bane got up in his seat after recovering from the hit and he soon felt the strange urges running through his body.
"No! I must resist!" the bounty hunter shouted, grabbing a hold of his head as the music continues to play and the urges getting stronger.
But the urges overwhelm the bounty hunter and he gave into them, and he begins to groove inside of his cockpit. Everyone in this battlefield is dancing to the disco music, and everyone is having the time of their lifetime, dancing their cares away as the ticking time bomb over Klunk's head continues to tick away. Then the music comes to a stop and the bomb drops on top of Klunk's head and entering inside of him.
"Oh…"
The bomb went off inside of Klunk, destroying everything that made him up and the micro chip that is the Transmorpher program zips right over Eddy's head, missing fractions of an inch from cutting a small portion of his helmet off.
"Whoa, did something go over my head?" he asked.
The shock wave heads out from the main explosion, knocking back the Hovership, the Vreedles' ship and Bane's ship. After that, the remaining parts of Klunk fall to the ground in a fiery ball of flames, which triggers a charge on one of the buildings and setting off the explosives. The explosive sets off a chain reaction, setting off one explosion after the next as the explosion climb up the mountain and destroying the pirate base.
"Way to go, Ed boys!" James shouted. "Now, let's head back home."
"Way ahead of you," Eddy replied.
And with that, the Eds aim the Hovership towards space and they take off to exit the atmosphere and head back to the Dreadzone X station. Right behind are the Vreedle Brothers and a very embarrassed Cad Bane.
"In all of my life, I have never been this humiliated," Bane said, hand over his face.
"Oh cheer up," Octagon responded. "It isn't like you lost anything, right?"
"Just shut up."
OOO
"Well, that does it for the Eds here on Ardolis," York said. "Now that they have officially clear the X Gauntlet, who knows what will happen to them now that they are now the most beloved and the most hated gladiators in Dreadzone."
"I know what will happen," Marsha said. "They are now going to face off against the head honcho of all of the Exterminators, Professor Treacherous. Oooh, I can't wait for that match-up!"
"And I can't wait to see you and Double D finally make a couple," the muscle man.
"With him by my side, he'll be my perfect prince," the devil child said, blushing bright red. "Oh, this devil princess is so happy, I think I might be crazy in love for him."
"You're a princess?" York asked.
"Don't start that again," Marsha replied.
OOO
"Gaaaaah! Klunk is defeated!" Nefarious shouted.
"Now sir, don't you think you're overreacting?" Lawrence asked. "I mean, Klunk was getting used to a foreign program that Gandolfini told you to be careful with."
"Yes, but those Eds killed Klunk!" the Exterminator snapped, "and now they're on their way back here to face off against me!"
"That isn't a bad thing," the butler replied. "It's been a while since you actually have some real challenge."
"This is making me so mad, that I might as well…"
The Exterminator begins to glitch up again, freezing and shooting off sparks as music begins to play, the same tune from a while back.
"We known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're going to play it
I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
Got to make you understand
"Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around
And desert you…"
"Now it's about time," Lawrence said, dancing the same jig that he did when he first heard this song.
And with that, that officially ends the Ardolis planet three-part saga. Now, it's finally come to the big moment: The Eds versus Dr. Nefarious! You have been waiting for so long, and how the moment has… yet to make it.
Before that comes, allow me to talk about what happen here in this chapter. Of course, I think I did pretty well for Klunk. Besides the fact that I added the Transmorpher program to him and made him tougher than in the games, but I say that I did pretty well. It's interesting that I manage to have such a little devil being control by one of my masterpieces.
And speaking of the Transmorphers, allow me to say, again, that I own all rights to them and no one is allow to use them unless you have my permission. In fact, I should get a patent for this design. Give it a few more years, and I should be far ahead than what today's robots are. Cyberdyne ain't got nothing on me!
Allow me to explain the brief history behind how I came up with the Transmorpher program: You see, they were going to be part of one of my original series that I am working on, and they it was going to be just the program itself, not full-fledge robots. So, with the program now flying in space, it will come to our planet, and the cycle will begin again.
And for the final bits, I should get some credit for not only getting Klunk to dance, but Cad Bane! Seriously, if he can be underwhelmed by the Jedi mind trick, then a Groovitron can make him dance. Seriously, I made Cad Bane dance, ladies and gentlemen! Give the man a round of applaud.
Anything else… oh: YOU JUST GOT RICK ROLLED, BABY! Again! Allow me to say that if this were to happen in real-life audio... boy, you're in for a REAL surprise!
Once again, I like for you all to review, thank you very much. Just you wait, because the Eds versus Dr. Nefarious will be coming right up! Oh, and if you review about my Rick Roll, you better sleep with one eye open.
