Revenge of the Book Part Two
by Martial Arts Master
Care Bears and all related characters copyrighted by Nelvana, DiC Enterainment, and Atkinson Film Arts. I made up Jack the Robber and Manny Macho, though. And here's the second chapter.
***
The Care Bears and the Care Bear cousins woke up, dazed.
When they looked around, they saw a normal Earth neighborhood that happened to be located next to the plain where, unbeknowest to them, Jack the Robber lived.
"My head hurts..." Grumpy Bear complained. "The last thing I remember is that huge dark force coming right at us, and now we wake up here."
"Whatever that was must've kicked us out of Care-a-Lot," Friend Bear said.
"This is awful!" Funshine Bear shouted in fear. "Our cloudmobiles and the Rainbow Rescue Beam are still up there! We can't get back!"
"Now everyone don't panic," Bright Heart Racoon said. "I'm sure there's a way. Meanwhile, we seem to have landed in the same neighborhood where that boy we saw through the Star Scope lives. At least we can make use our plight to help that boy."
"Well that's a strange coincidence," Swift Heart Rabbit said, talking in his usual high-speed voice.
"Not really...it must've been my good luck," Good Luck Bear said.
"Luck, schmuck," Grumpy Bear grumbled.
"So what are we gonna do now?" Loyal Heart Dog asked.
"We should find the boy who's stopped caring, help him out, and then think about our own problem," Gentle Heart Lamb said meekly.
"Good idea!" Champ Bear declared.
They began searching for the house...
Meanwhile, Manny Macho was as miserable as he was before, but, as said before, he'd decided to just stop caring.
He was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands, looking as dejected as possible.
He'd just seen a woman pass by out the window, and, with pressure from his family, had shouted, "Hey baby, wanna have a good time with a REAL man?!"
Now, he thought about how stupid that sounded.
He hated this idiotic stereotype he was forced to conform to.
He was about to give himself up and drink more beer when there came a knock at the front door.
He was confused.
"Visitors? That's weird..." Manny muttered to himself.
He went to the door and opened it...and gasped.
Standing there were what looked like colorful teddy bears. Only they had symbols on their chests and were standing up under their own power.
Also standing there were colorful animals that also looked like stuffed toys standing up.
"I think I drank too much beer," he said.
"No, we're real," Funshine Bear said. "And we came here to help you feel better."
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Manny said as "macho"-ness dictated.
The animals seemed undisturbed.
"We're the Care Bears!" the bears all said in unison.
"And we're the Care Bear Cousins!" the animals all said in unison.
"You see, our mission is to help those on Earth share their feelings," Love-a-lot Bear explained. "Every time we detect someone who stops caring, some of us go down to Earth to help."
"And you've been repressing those feelings because of your family's wishes," Brave Heart Lion said. "That's no way to live."
Manny scratched his head in confusion.
"So...you all came down to Earth to help me?" he asked doubtfully.
"Actually, we were going to send only a couple of us," Share Bear explained, "but a dark force cast us out of our home in Care-a-lot. We decided to help you, and then figure out how to solve our own problem and, more importantly, who expelled us from our home in the first place."
"Well, you're wasting your time," Manny grumped. "I won't be able to share my feelings because my stupid family says macho people don't show their feelings."
He looked down at the ground in sadness and said, "I probably don't even have any feelings anymore."
"But everyone has feelings, Manny," Grams Bear said. "Even you."
Manny's eyes widened.
"You even know my name!" he said in surprise.
"That's because we saw you through the star scope," Cozy Heart Penguin said.
"Look, you really shouldn't be here," Manny said, suddenly panicking. "If my family finds you and your 'un-manliness'.."
"Oh, Bedtime Bear put them to sleep a while ago," Tender Heart Bear replied. "Through an open window, no less. Now come on...why don't we go visit an ice cream shop we passed on the way here, and maybe you'll remember how to have feelings. Your family won't wake up for an hour."
Manny was unsure.
"Well..." he said hedgingly. "I suppose I could do it...for a little while..."
"Great!" everyone else said, and to Manny's surprise, they ran off in the direction of the ice cream shop, so Manny had to run along behind to keep up.
Jack the Robber, meanwhile, was listening to more instructions from the evil spirit.
"Now that you have cast out the Care Bears and the Care Bear cousins, you must finish them off," the evil spirit said. "As long as they still exist, they will stop any spell you cast to rid the world of uncaring."
Jack the Robber was uneasy.
"What do you mean 'finish them off'?" he asked fearfully.
"You are a robber, are you not?" the evil spirit snapped.
"Well of course I am!" Jack the Robber replied indignantly.
"Don't you have a gun?" the evil spirit asked.
Jack the Robber immediately knew the answer to that.
"Yeah, but it's just a memento I stole from my parents to remind myself that I was forever free of them," he replied. "It's loaded, but I never use the bullets because I hate killing anyone."
Suddenly he became horrified.
"Wait...you're not suggesting I shoot those animals, do you?" he asked, dreading the answer.
"Hahahahahahahaha, that's exactly what I'm saying," the evil spirit cackled. "Last time we met, I used spells against the Care Bears, and I still ended up being sealed. But no Care Bear magic will stand up to the power of bullets."
"You psycho! I draw the line at robbery; I'm not gonna shoot anyone!" Jack the Robber screamed.
The evil spirit sighed, finding Jack the Robber uncooperative.
It began to use its magic.
Wave after wave of green magic penetrated Jack the Robber's mind.
Jack's mentality began to warp and become twisted.
The evil spirit, from its book, used its powers to cause Jack the Robber to grow more evil and vicious. His face reflected the change, as it slowly grew from a normal face to that of a twisted madman.
When the brainwashing was done, Jack the Robber cackled wickedly, "Okay, Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins! You left me all alone, and for that, it's time to die by the gun! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
To be continued...
See? There's a good reason this fanfic's rated PG-13. Don't worry, though, this won't turn into an anti-Care Bear fic. You'll see what I mean as I finish future chapters. E-mail all questions and comments to bleifer@comcast.net
