Meanwhile in the Red Dimension…
The trio of villains had managed to capture the Toon, Captain Hurricane, and Lobo. Right now, they are currently back in Hurricane's world, at the secret hideout that Bloodborn managed to find and build.
"Why are you doing this to us Bloodborn?!" Hurricane was not happy at seeing his nemesis again.
"Uh, I just told you."
"Yeah, but you were in prison last time the Girls and I saw you! How did you escape?!"
"Well, let's just say that I had a special item upon being sent to prison…"
"You still had a G-Diffuser?"
"Okay, hi, The Toon, here, the hero of my Earth. So quick question: what is a G-Diffuser?"
"Well, in case you weren't paying attention, the G-Diffuser teleports between worlds! Any version of anyone that I find, I can travel there!" He demonstrated by conjuring a hologram of various alternate Earths.
"Wait, so like…there are alternate versions of myself?" He already knew that there's a number of versions of himself that he has connections to, but he didn't know that he, as in the Toon, had alternate versions of himself. But he knew to keep quiet about that first half.
"Exactly. So when I managed to escape I came across your Luthor and Darkseid here…"
"...we had a talk about our counterparts…"
"...and the rest is history!" The trio knew that they had their opponents locked up tight. However, in the midst of their rejoicing, the Toon, Captain Hurricane, and Lobo decided to chat.
"So THAT guy's your recurring nemesis, or…?"
"Well, he did make a recent appearance, but he's the reason I have powers in the first place. The name's Captain Hurricane!"
"And I'm Lobo!"
"We're the men, I guess, of the Super Hero Girls team! ...So I assume you're the one guy for your team too?"
"Pretty much, yeah. I had a pretty rough life before moving to Metropolis, but, for the most part, I think I developed! So how about you two? What are your, you know, specialties?"
"Video games! Just pick any reference and I can almost guarantee that I'll have it!" That reminded him of Jordan A. a bit since he lives in a gaming universe.
"And I'm more of the brawns. My specialty is combat, combat, combat! So what about you? What's your specialty?"
"Cartoon Physics. I can basically warp reality at will. Though I've had…stabilization issues recently."
"How bad are they?"
"I blackout and the more Toony side of my personality comes out. I'm really worried about using my powers because of this…" The other two guys felt sorry for him at this.
"Oh, we're sorry. Well, don't worry. Once we crack out, we'll be more than glad to help you out!"
"Really? Just like that?"
"Of course! It's not like I controlled my powers instantly. We will be more than glad to help! Just give me a second…" Captain Hurricane used his utility ring to conjure… a small metal ball.
"Oh. No offense, but how is that going to help us, exactly?"
"Have you ever played the game Smash Hit?"
"Smash… Hit…?"
"Huh. I'll show you later, just watch." He simply bounced the ball rapidly and let it hit the glass, shattering on impact. He then did the same to the other tubes as the trio realized they're escaping.
"The Heroes! They're escaping!" He managed to free his two comrades and as the trio made a break for it, Lex was immediately on their tails, flying in his suit.
"Get back here, you pains!"
"Sweet Zombie Jesus, your Lex is ruthless, huh?"
"Yeah, not too long ago, he actually teamed up with my Darkseid and ruled the city for a while. Of course, being rich, he got away with it…"
"Ah," said Lobo. "If I was there I would have punched him, right there!" They were heading towards a dead-end, just as the Toon started blacking out again and laughing. His mirror side came back out and, realizing who was chasing him and the other two, planned a trap. He pushed everyone further ahead and took out a can of paint. He painted a door that allowed him and his friends to run through, but Luthor wasn't able to do so and crashed into the wall.
"Ugh, that stupid guy!"
"Eh, don't worry. We'll find them. And hey, look at it this way: we'll have time to make our secret weapon…"
Meanwhile…
The door led the trio to an alleyway in the city, just as his Mirror side calmed down and Jordan woke back up.
"Ugh, we escaped?"
"Yeah. I think your, um, 'other side' came out. You painted a door and we went right through it!"
"Oh, really?" He was a little worried for numerous reasons, but he didn't really care about that at the moment. The three of them have to find a way to avoid the trio until Jordan gets his powers in check, especially since they're probably planning to search for them even as they speak…
The Toon's dimension…
The opposites have been hanging out, for the most part, chatting about the differences in their universes.
"So," said Blue Kara, "on your Earth, you have a friendly relationship with the Super Villain Girls?"
"Yup!," said Red Kara. "They call themselves the Super Revenge Squad."
"Wait," said Karen, "so would that include Livewire? As in Livewire Livewire?"
"Yup! Even her! Why did you ask?"
"Well," said Blue Wonder Woman, still remembering that day, "we do not exactly have the BEST relationship with her…when the Toon and I faced off against her. The Toon suffered a power loss thanks to the impact. He was put in a hospital for the next two episodes."
"Aww, I am very sorry to hear that." Red Wonder Woman and her team felt bad when the mood dropped HARD.
"Oh, uh, hey!" The two Babs got everyone's attention, snapping them out of their funk. "We got some progress on that goober that Doctor had."
"Goober? No, no, it's called a G-Diffuser."
"What? We deal with so many things we just can't remember the names of all of them, so just to keep things simple, one of our friends suggested calling them 'goobers'. So anyways, his goober was essentially a looking glass into different universes. So all we have to do is find a goober that's like it and use some kind of vehicle to travel to wherever our friend is and get them back."
"But how are we gonna even find a goober that's like it?"
"Well, we did manage to get a glimpse of the device and its wavelengths so we just have to trace the signal of whatever has an equal wavelength." The two Batgirls were searching through her computer to find the wavelength while the groups chatted again.
"Wanna know something interesting?" Blue Katana was noting a similarity between their male members. "Both of our male friends have a huge love for fictional interests. Captain Hurricane is into video games and the Toon is into cartoons." Everyone murmured as they noted that she was right. There was silence for a moment before Red Zatanna broke the ice a bit.
"So are any of you dating anyone?"
"Well…" Blue Zatanna spoke first. "I'm currently dating a cartoon pig."
"Wait…do you mean like, Spider-Ham?"
"Um…yes? How do you know about him?"
"Comics and a movie." This caused Blue Zatanna to be lost in thought for a moment before reminding herself to do something later. "So how about the rest of you? Thinking about anyone special?"
"Well," said Blue Wonder Woman, "the Toon is currently my boyfriend." The Red team awed as she blushed.
"Now THAT is cute! So how does he react to you?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Well, our male members normally go into a daze whenever…we do stuff. Like, when we went to this amusement park hall of mirrors one time and our breasts looked so big it looked like they were jiggling!" The Blue team looked a little bit weirded out at this.
"So there's ONE difference between our Earths…"
"Well, you know, it's kinda like THAT idea. So what do your boyfriends do?" Blue Zatanna spoke first.
"Well, Porker is essentially a recreation of a cartoon character from the 'Golden Ages', so he gets very expressive! Like, for example, when we were at my family's private island for a beach arc, we had a beach episode. My bikini essentially made him shout 'Hellooooo, nurse!'"
"Hey! We know THAT feeling…" After Red Zatanna's comment, Blue Wonder Woman spoke up next.
"Me wearing the same clothes made Jordan very flustered. He also acted the same way when he saw me working out…and that summer dance…"
"Wow, sounds like the Toon acts like an actual Toon huh?"
"You could say that…so anyway, do your men ALWAYS act like dogs?"
"Well, not all the time, but you know, men."
"Yeah…so Batgirls, did you find a goober?"
"Yup! We managed to track a wavelength to this island not far from the city of Metropolis."
"Alright! So we need to go now!" Everyone got up and prepared to take flight…with Blue Batgirl making a request to Blue Green Lantern and Blue Wonder Woman. "We just have to make a couple of stops first…"
In Hurricane's dimension…
The trio was currently walking the streets of the city, trying to reach Captain Hurricane's Sweet Justice to think of a plan to end this whole mess. The Toon did get some looks from the city folk because of his general appearance but he didn't mind. He did come from another Earth.
"So once we reach Sweet Justice, we can come up with a plan and help you stabilize your powers so you don't blackout!"
"I still say we punch the trio's heads clean off!" Lobo was going for a more general idea, which the Toon shut down.
"It's the three of us versus an evil doctor, a mad scientist, and a powerful dictator."
"...okay, we might need a plan this time…say, what's your relationship with the other Girls on your team?"
"Well, we have a pretty great relationship, overall! I guess you could call me 'one of the girls'!" He chuckled a bit as Lobo continued.
"Oh," he said, suddenly feeling gossipy, "well, are you, um, seeing anybody?" The Toon froze a bit, caught a little off guard by the question.
"Oh, uh, well, my team's Wonder Woman? She and I recently hooked up!"
"Sweet! You know, my Wonder Woman and Bumblebee? They totally dig me!"
"Really? What's your dynamic with them?"
"Well, the boys and I make remarks, we get lectured or hit…"
"Oh, so your story's THAT kind!"
"Pretty much. Recently, we threw around the idea of a harem." And that made him stop.
"Oh."
"Is something wrong, Toon?"
"Well, uh, I don't if I should say this because I don't wanna offend you two but it's, well, I don't like harems."
"Ohhhhhh."
"Yeah. I just don't really see the appeal of polygamy."
"What, you never had a crush on multiple women before?"
"Nope! Just one at a time. I mean, before I dated Diana, I was a little…uncomfortable, let's say, at the fact that I was the only guy on a team full of girls but as the school year went on, I got used to it. Once summer reached, I became numb."
"Wait, it's summer where you are?"
"Yeah."
"But it's spring where we are."
"Oh, so around the time this story's being published!"
"Exactly!" Their conversation came to an end once they reached the parlor and went down to the lair. Captain Hurricane and Lobo came down first, wanting to introduce their new friend before he comes down. Right now, Garth and Hal were in the lair, finishing up a match of Super Smash Bros.
"Yeah! Score 1 for the animals!" Garth won the current match, playing as Duck Hunt. Hal, who was playing as Ganondorf, was incredulous.
"How could you win?! I had you!"
"Well, sometimes even the more unusual fighters win in the end. Oh, hey Hurricane. Lobo. Where have you two been?"
"Yeah, last we checked, you were going to the mall to prepare for that trip."
"Well, long story short, we ran into a little detour. One thing led to another and...well, why don't we show you. You can come down now!"
The Toon slid down in his own cartoony way, making a quick wave to his friends' friends.
"Hello! My name is the Toon, nice to meet you…!" He himself was caught off guard by the sight of alternate versions of his occasional allies, one of whom quickly hid behind the couch, and the other of whom crossed his arms, suspicious. "Well, this is kinda interesting…"
"Oh yeah, you do have the Invincibros in your world, just with one female on their team as well…"
"Wait," said Garth, peeking his head up, "why did you bring someone else here?"
"Because he was taken from his own Earth and brought here against his will. He also has a power-controlling problem so we wanted to come here to think of a plan plus help him with his powers." A notification popped up on Lobo's phone, alerting him of a crime in progress.
"Guys, something's happening at the Power and Water Department! We have to go!"
"But what about my powers?!" Then Hurricane had a thought that just might work.
"Well, maybe this can be how your powers can be in control! By fighting whoever's doing crime! But if you're still worried…" Hurricane used his utility ring again, conjuring a capsule…with a half-eaten burrito. "Whoops, that was my burrito from last week, hang on…" He conjured another capsule that featured a video game gun. "This is-"
"A Super Scope…"
"You know what this is?! But I thought your world didn't have this type of stuff."
"Oh, we don't. But I do know someone whose world does. Let's just say this isn't my first time hopping dimensions…"
"Okay, we gotta talk later! Anyways, let's go!"
The Toon's dimension…
The Blue team was currently in their Lantern forms, using constructs to carry Jess's van, which carried the Red team members who did not fly, including Batgirl and Tatsu. They were holding a bag containing Jordan's serums. After telling Wannah about what's going on, she was more than happy to lend them what they needed! She gave them permission to use the old machine used to generate potions to help them. They kept the potions stashed in a bag just as they were reaching the island. It was fairly middle-sized, with a large volcano in the middle, and lush vegetation surrounding it. According to the computers, it was called "Stahiden Island".
Alright, remember, we are to search the island, find wherever this goober is, and do the rest."
"So where do we start?"
"Well, I was thinking we could start with-" The team walked until Blue Bumblebee felt something hard on her feet, prompting her to look down. "Um, teams? I think there's more to this island than meets the eye…"
She was right. The team dug where she stood, finding a metal hatch that the Supergirls opened with their heat vision and strength. Then they all slowly descended until they hit the ground. They were in a room that connected to another, giving the implications of a laboratory.
"Alright. Let's keep moving. If there can be something like this here, then who knows what else is hidden."
The teams snuck through several rooms, being as stealthy as possible. As they searched through the rooms, they took note of many shadows but couldn't immediately tell who they belonged to. However, if it's one thing they all noticed, it was the fact that whoever these people were had only one eye. As the Blue team grew worried as to who they would be facing, the other team just grew worried because of who these people could be.
Their trek came to an end as they came across a room with a chair, several tubes, and large television. Blue Katana volunteered to subdue the being in the chair, slowly making her way over while quietly drawing her sword. However, just as she got close enough, she bypassed an alarm that went off, trapping both teams in the room as several guns were aimed.
"Why hello, Girls." The chair turned to reveal a villain unfamiliar to the Red team but definitely familiar to the Blue team. "Long time, no see."
"Dr. Smith…"
"Dr. Smith?"
"Don't weird the name out. I knew we would meet again someday, especially for the Worlogog that you're likely seeking. Though I didn't expect to see two of you. Eh, must be some other guy with a similar plot."
"Where are you stashing this 'Worlogog', dude?! Cause we can either do this the easy way… or the hard way!"
"Oh, I can show you. But you'll have to get past someone. And she won't make it easy for ya…"
The team turned to hear multiple scientific barriers and doors opening to reveal…a Starro in a bowl…attached to a robotic suit.
"The Starro from your wand…"
Starro…
"Please, Starro was the conqueror's name. You can call me…Storra."
Storra…
"And you all want this Worlogog, huh?" She held the Worlogog, which was a purple sphere that had constantly moving scribbles in it, as she taunted the teams. "Well, guess what? You're gonna have to grab it from my metal hands! Oh, do you like my new suit?"
"Who cares about your suit?!" Red Supergirl lashed out at her, but she saw it coming and grabbed her fist just as she reached her. Supergirl was then blown into the wall, covering her in plenty of Starros for good measure. She did the same to half of both teams. Luckily, none of them covered their faces but it was still very annoying as the remainder of the teams prepared for the fight about to ensue.
Hurricane's dimension…
The Super Revenge Squad was causing a ruckus at the Water and Power Department at Poison Ivy's command. The boys were staring at the commotion as the Toon looked a little mad.
"What's wrong bud?"
"Livewire…"
"Oh yeah…" On the way to the plant, the Toon laid out some differences between his villains and Hurricane's. Aside from the fact that there's also a sole boy on their team, his Livewire was also much, much worse. He's still mad at her, but only to sitcom levels of anger. "Well, how about this: you stay here and use the Super Scope, and if anything happens, you can come and help!"
"Okay. Good luck…" The others went out to start the fight as the Toon readied himself, visualizing a game that Jordan A. showed him once.
"With the water and power destroyed, the town's gonna have to come to us and give us what we want to give it back." Poison Ivy's plan was detailed as she finished tying up the remaining guards. Livewire was getting ready to steal enough electricity to power herself up.
"Alright, let's get lit!" She was fully prepared to start stealing until the sight of a couple of familiar foes caused her to stop.
"Ugh, it's Hurricane and his friends…"
"You know, you really shouldn't hog all the water and power. People need that in the morning!"
"So what?! Look, you can quip all you want, but it'll be much more fun to fight." Livewire electrified herself and dashed to the heroes, with the other villains following suit.
Right now, the battles were divided between Hurricane and Giganta & Cheetah, Lobo and Poison Ivy & Livewire, Garth and Catwoman & Kid Cabra, and Hal and Star Sapphire & Hammerhead, while the Toon took aim from the sidelines.
"You know," said Hurricane, attacking in his own way while throwing the two villains he faced off guard, "you two should consider yourselves lucky. You get to fight someone that you two secretly love!"
"Shut up!"
"Well, there was that thing you did a couple of days ago…" He remembered what happened in the previous episode as he kept dodging their attacks, leading up to him tossing Cheetah into the air. At that moment, the Toon shot her, making her spiral to the ground. Hurricane did a mischievous giggle as the Toon fist-bumped.
Hal was currently doing his best to combat the two, but between Hammerhead's strength and Star Sapphire being Star Sapphire, it's not completely easy for him.
"Hold still, Halsy-Walsy!" She kept shooting hearts at him, which the Toon took notice of.
"Man, even on this Earth…" He shot them both, causing them to yelp into the air. They fell in the background of the fight between Garth and his two villains. Luckily, given that they were fighting at a water plant he was able to hold his own, especially due to Kid Cabra's relative cowardness. Before the Toon took part, he couldn't help but wonder one thing:
"Is that a…goat mutant?" He kept thinking that he saw everything as he shot the two making them wonder where the heck it was coming from. He managed to duck just as they turn around, and sneak to another part of the plant to see Lobo fighting Poison Ivy and Livewire. He…was not doing so great. The two of them acted flirty with him and once his guard was dropped, Poison Ivy tied him up, with Livewire charging up to deliver a blow.
"Get ready for the shock of your-" She stopped when she was suddenly hit by an anvil out of nowhere. It was from the Toon, with his mirror side taking over after seeing Lobo about to be hurt real bad. The site of what was essentially a Golden Age cartoon character made the two chuckle.
"What the-?!" The two chuckled at the Toon's appearance and the fact that he dropped an anvil on them. "Oh, so what are you supposed to be, some kind of silly cartoon?"
"Yeah, why?" He looked very offended as he delivered his lines. "You got a problem with cartoons?" The two immediately attacked, but the Toon, being the Toon, dodged them all with relative ease, even getting a few good hits in.
"Hold still, you little-"
"Happy birthday!" He smacked a pie onto Livewire's face, blowing up a second later. She was left swirly-eyed as he conjured a rubber boxing glove, inflated it, and punched her into the wall.
"Wow, I must admit you are not what you appear to be. But how can you win against…the Plant Piper?" He looked so deadpan at this.
"Eh, I've seen tougher…" He took out a chainsaw and formed a tornado, shredding all the plants that stood in his way.
"No, my babies!" Poison Ivy was not happy that her plants were being destroyed by this guy so she just leaped forward on a vine. Luckily, he saw this coming and disappeared through a portable hole, confusing her…
…Just as he fell from the sky, clobbering her hard with a mallet. He fell to the ground right in front of the swirly-eyed Ivy, who can only mumble.
"Hey, watch out, there are zombies on your lawn…"
"Soooo, did that feel like a cartoon?" He wrapped her up in her own vines and took the two villains and wrapped them up in a box. He then went to Lobo and made sure he was okay. He was…but he was shocked at the full extent of his abilities.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just shocked…"
"Many people do underestimate us Toons so I love showing them the true impact."
Hurricane came over to the two, having finished his fight and overall impressed by the Toon's.
"That was amazing! Wait, Jordan, are you still there?"
"Actually…yeah. Well, it felt like the Mirror side was there, but then again, it felt like he wasn't. But I was angered when I saw Livewire about to shock Lobo. That's how I got hospitalized last time."
"Wait…could you and your Mirror be agreeing on something?"
"I…don't know…maybe…"
Everyone decided to help the Invincibros finish their remaining fights as they were all put into the same gift box.
"Same time next time?"
"Yeah!" The villains shouted, giving them the means to getaway. The Invincibros also bid a farewell to their friends, having to get home to prepare for their own things. The Toon didn't know about this difference between their worlds.
"SO you're all basically frenemies?"
"Yeah. So how are we gonna-" The Toon suddenly felt pained as something hit him. He fell to the ground and started shaking violently. It was like something was being…taken away from him. The other two looked behind him to see Lex, shooting something at him.
"All too easy…" He was sucking something that looked like the Toon out of him, capturing him in a glass jar once the deed was done. This left him weakened on the ground, with the other two shocked as to what just happened. And their fear rose when Darkseid and Bloodborn rose behind Lex.
"So…where did we leave off?"
To be continued…
