Responses to reviews:
Kryten: I'm not sure who you're refering to? Are you talking about Rhonda?
I would like to read some of your stories about Rhonda and Nadine as a couple, as well with Helga.
With how angry Von Scheck is getting, I don't blame ya, lol
Cre8ivelybankgrupt87: I don't think Scheck realized that in the first movie. He was too busy trying to stop Arnold from getting to the neighbourhood.
I know a lot of people didn't like Hey Arnold the movie, but I really think Von Scheck played well as a great villain for the exact same reasons as you pointed out.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nick was created purely to make Bob look less of a bad guy. But, I really don't know why they changed his hair from gray to brown in the movie.
I never considered Nick to be sadistic bad guy. Yes, he is willing to swindle people from their money, but I don't picture him as a murderer.
Rhonda is definitely a break out character in this story. While I understand how some people would put her as an antagonist to Helga, I never really considered her a bad person; just someone who really needs to mature and learn. I really do hope that if a season 6 comes out, they would focus more on Rhonda. She has a lot of potential as a character.
LOL, I figured you would like that little scene between Helga and Gerald. You mentioned it in one of your reviews, but I had already inputted it in this scene.
Hmm, Nadine bringing a whole crowd of people in a final Endgame showdown, not a bad idea…
Rosali Leon Huamani: Gracias! Me siento orgulloso que te encanta
Inside the head security room...
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
As the guards desperately tried to get in, Peapod was already climbing up into the ventilation system. Not waiting to see how long the tape and glue would hold an already busted door, the four teens, after having successfully completed their mission, quickly made their getaway and back to safety.
"Rhonda, where are we going?" Sid softly asked her who was right behind her.
"Anywhere but here!" Rhonda softly responded back.
Not stopping, the teens continued to crawl through the system, trying to get as far away as possible from Nick and the guards.
Nick meanwhile could only watch with abject anger as the teens quickly slipped away from his grasp, disappearing into the ventilation system.
"GGRRRR! NO!" He angrily roared. "Keep pushing!" He yelled at the three guards.
"I got some more ammo!" One of the guards said as he hastily returned with more ammunition.
Nick wasted no time and grabbed some of the ammo, reloaded a shot gun himself and began to blast the side of the door, creating loud POW noises. No longer even caring if he hit the security system, just continued to fire at the door with utter fury.
"There! Now open it!" Nick yelled when he used up all the ammo.
The three guards ran towards the door and finally managed to burst through into the room.
"Get the security system back online and find out where those kids are!" Nick angrily yelled at the guards as they tried to turned on all security cameras and motion sensors and tried to scan through the camera's footages.
Nick impatiently waited as the guards continued to work. However after some time, he realized that something was wrong.
"Well? What's the hold up?" Nick asked.
"Sir, the cameras and motion sensors aren't working." One of the guards said.
"Why not?!" Nick angrily asked him.
"They won't turn on, no matter what we try to do, they are not responding." One of the guards said. "And whatever cameras are already on, their recordings have frozen, so we can only see the image of the last footage.
"We don't have control over them. Something else must be interfering with the system." The other guard said.
"Never mind the cameras then." Nick said frustratingly. "Just go out and find them. Search everywhere! We have the building surrounded, so they can't leave here."
The five guards acknowledged and then ran back outside to try and search for them. Nick left the room while rubbing his forehead, wondering how he will be able to explain all of this to Von Scheck when he finds out.
At Von Scheck's office...
"Th-They are here!" Gerald ecstatically exclaimed when he saw them through his binoculars. "Help is here!"
Helga, feeling rejuvenated by the greats news, and seeing that now was a good time, took the initiative again and grabbed the fire extinguisher, held the hose and aimed its end through the hole, right outside the door and next to Von Scheck face. She then immediately pressed the handle and sprayed it right on his face.
"AAARRRGGGHH!" Von Scheck screamed and then muffled under the sudden chemical powder being sprayed all over his eyes and mouth.
Not stopping there, she then quickly went through the hole, going outside of the office and while still holding onto the fire extinguisher turned it upside down and then,
*Clang*
Forcefully hit Von Scheck right in the head with it.
"Not...!" Von Scheck began to say before he then groaned and fell on the floor unconscious for the second time.
"Again?" Helga finished his sentence with a smirk.
Relieved that the psychopathic CEO had been neutralized again, she then made her way back inside the office, back to a group of stunned male teens who just looked at her with astonished looks on their faces.
"Guess you were right about the fire extinguisher coming in handy, football head." She said with a smirk as she casually handed it back to a stunned Arnold and triumphantly walked towards the broken window.
"Uh...yeah." Was all he could say.
Even Rodrigo was stunned by her heroism and just marveled at her as she walked by.
Damn...The Latino boy thought.
However both teens soon snapped out of it and then headed towards the broken window.
"I see Murray's bus!" Gerald happily continued to exclaim. "He must have picked everyone up. Hallelujah, we're saved!"
"About come." Helga bluntly remarked.
"Let me see." Rodrigo said as he took out his own binoculars to look.
While help was indeed approaching, the bus was still very far away and to the naked eye, looked like a black dot out on the horizon.
"It is Murray!" Rodrigo happily exclaimed. "But, why is he driving so slow? And why does he keep sticking his head out?" He confusingly asked.
"Hm, that is weird. I wonder why he is doing that." Gerald said as he again looked through his binoculars.
Both Helga and Arnold just looked outside the broken window in confusion, trying to see the bus with their eyes. However, they instead saw something else.
"What's that dark cloud or shade that's following the bus?" Helga asked.
"Let me see." Rodrigo said and attempted to look at what's following Murray.
Meanwhile, as the bus slowly made its way towards them, Gerald attempted to get a good look at it. Upon closer inspection, he recognized something.
"Uh, that's not Murray driving the bus." Gerald then stated while looking a bit stunned.
"It's not?" Arnold asked. "Who's driving the bus then?"
"Your grandmother." Gerald casually said to him.
"What?!" Arnold exclaimed in utter shock. "No way."
"See for yourself." Gerald said as he handed him his binoculars.
Thinking that there must be some mistake, Arnold took them and looked through them. To his utter surprise, he saw that it was indeed his grandmother driving the bus.
"Why is my grandmother driving the bus?" Arnold asked.
"Good ol' Gertie." Helga said with a proud smile.
"And what's on top of the bus?" Arnold asked again.
"On top of the bus?" Both Helga and Gerald simultaneously asked.
"Yeah, there's something or someone on top of the bus, but I can't make it out." Arnold said.
"Whoa…." Rodrigo then said with a stunned look on his face.
"What is it?" Gerald asked.
"That's no dark cloud that's following the bus." Rodrigo said. "Those are people! Lots and lots of people!"
"Let me see." Gerald said as he then took the binoculars from Rodrigo and looked through them.
"Well I'll be." The African-American teen said. "There must be thousands of them!"
"That's why the bus is going so slow." Rodrigo continued. "It's leading them!"
Gerald and Rodrigo were not exaggerating on how many people were being led by Gertie and approaching the FTI building. As the bus continued to slowly make its way, the four teens can see more and more people appearing from the horizon. It was like an endless sea of people marching towards one single point. Although it was impossible to get an accurate number, if one could estimate, it looked as if half of the city was making its way towards them!
Inside the bus approaching the FTI building...
"Pookie, keep your good eye on the road!" Phil nervously exclaimed to her as the bus kept on swinging from one side of the road to the other. "We're trying to get there in one piece, not kill ourselves before we save Arnold!"
"The people, united, will never be defeated!" Gertie just chanted through the loudspeaker and continued driving while swiveling from side to side.
"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" The thousands of people that was behind the bus chanted back while raising their fists up in the air.
"The people, united, shall never be defeated!" Gertie continued to chant.
"Dad, did you really have to give mom the wheel?" Miles asked his father as he nervously held onto the bus rails for dear life, despite the fact that the bus was only going 6 miles per hour.
"Give her? She just took it!" Phil exclaimed back.
"As every woman should." Stella remarked with a smirk.
"Oh for crying out loud, just make sure your woman gets us there without killing anyone!" Bob exclaimed at Phil. "I'm saving that moment when I get my hands on Scheck!"
"Keep you're pants on and clean, Pataki." Phil retorted back. "My Pookie will get us there safely."
"Ohhh...uhhh…I think I'm going to be sick..." Miriam groaned and grunted due to the constant motion.
"Oh mommy, take this bad in case if you need to throw up." Olga worryingly said to her mother who was sitting beside her.
"Oh dear, I do hope we get there soon." Brooke Lloyd, Rhonda's mother, worryingly said. "I'm afraid that if we continue with the constant turns and motions, I might also get sick."
"Don't worry my darling. We are almost there." Buckley Lloyd, Rhonda's father, reassured her as he then held her hand.
"Gertie, can you drive just a bit faster?" Elisa Castile, Rodrigo's mother asked her. "Our kids are in danger and we need to get there as fast as possible."
"Slow and steady wins the race, my dear." Gertie replied.
"That's not what you did twenty minutes ago!" Someone cried out to her.
"Besides, we won't be able to get inside without everyone's help. We're going to need all the help we can get in order to win this fight." Gertie continued to speak.
"The people, united, will never be defeated!" Gertie again chanted as she took her loudspeaker out the window again as she swirled the bus again.
"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" The thousands of people that was behind the bus chanted back.
"Hey old lady, stop moving the bus around like that, would ya!" Ernie Potts nervously shouted. "I just ate breakfast!"
"That was my breakfast that you ate." Oskar Kokoshka whined. "I'm still hungry. Couldn't we have stopped for some food along the way?"
"No! And that's for all the times you stole MY breakfast, Kokoshka!" Ernie snapped back at him.
"I thought you left them on the table for me, hehehehe." Oskar said with a innocent laugh.
"NO! Why would I do that?!" Ernie angrily shouted at him.
"Oohh, I do not like this at all!" Mr. Hyunh nervously said as he held on tightly onto the bus railings. "She is a bad driver. Phil, does she even have a license?"
"Hm, not really." Phil said. "She lost it way back in the 60's."
"Oh my." Suzie Kokoshka worryingly said. "Gertie, please be careful!"
"Just be sure you two clear the way for me to get inside." Bob said to two people behind him. "Then hurry on in."
"Oh don't worry, I will." Martin Johanssen, Gerald's father, said to him as he put on his old Vietnam War American helmet. "You just make sure you find the kids."
"Especially you, ese." Bob then spoke to someone else. "Are you sure you are cut out for this?" He asked him, not really convinced he was up to the challenge.
"Don't worry Robert, I am." Alfonso, Rodrigo's father, confidently replied. "I am a veteran of this." As he then put on a red bandanna around his mouth, revealing only his eyes.
"What? Who's Robert?" Bob confusingly asked.
"You." Alfonso replied, looking even more confused. "Isn't 'Bob' short for 'Robert'?"
"Oh. Well uh ya, I guess it is." Bob shyly and embarrassingly said to him.
All the other parents were also on the bus, including Sid's father Ray and Stinky's parents. Nadine, Harold, Lila and Sheena were also there, along with a few other 'influential people'.
Back at Von Scheck's office...
"Hold on." Gerald then said. "If you're grandmother is driving the bus, then where's Murray?"
In the middle of the crowd...
"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" The entire crowd continued to angrily chant.
"Hey! Somebody stop that bus!" Murray cried out as he tried to move through the huge crowd, but his crying was drowned out by the thousands of people chanting.
"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!"
Back at Von Scheck's office...
"Wait. It...It can't be him." Arnold said as he was trying to get a look on who was on top of the bus.
"Who can it not be?" Rodrigo asked.
"The person on top of the bus. I think that's..."
On top of the bus…
"Monkey Man!" Monkey Man yelled as he managed to stand on top of the bus, despite how it was constantly swinging from side to side, all awhile striking up in a typical superhero pose and his cap waving through the wind.
"to protect the weak and downtrodden," he began to recite his credo while in a heroic stand, "to serve for the good of all and to be kind to all the creatures!"
"The people, united, will never be defeated!" He then shouted towards the crowd.
"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!" The crowd chanted back.
At Von Scheck's office…
"Monkey man?!" Both Helga and Gerald exclaimed in surprise.
"Who's Monkey Man?" Rodrigo asked.
"A local Hillwood superhero." Gerald casually explained.
"I see." Rodrigo said. "Does he actually have super powers?" He asked.
"Well, he does have the ability to not be seen." Gerald said with a shrug. "I guess that's sort of a super hero power."
"Hold up! How did Nadine and her little posse managed to get that many people to come here so fast?" Helga asked.
Well, that's it for this chapter. Sorry for it being too short, but I promise I'll make up for it in the next chapter.
