CHAPTER 8: The Good Doctor
Clyde: Okay then, don't I get a last request?
GL47: I guess, but make it quick.
Clyde: I wish to... oh my goodness! It's the Blue Screen of Death!
GL47: Where??? I'll blast it!
-GL47 releases his grip and runs around-
Clyde: Whoa, I can't believe that worked. Now, how do I get out of here? They haven't finished fixing the machine yet, and...
GL47: Hey, there's no blue screen here! You tricked me!
Clyde: It's what I do.
GL47: I'm gonna make a cinder out of you!
GL47 fires his cannon, but Clyde flies out of the way
Clyde: Missed me.
GL47: I'm just getting started.
-More cannon shots are fired, each one easily dodged by Clyde-
Clyde: Oh, come now. I'm sure Crant programmed you better than that.
GL47: My specialty is not flying red pests. Now if you were a large city, then I'd smash you.
Clyde: Brilliant story. Now, why don't we try something actually worthwhile?
GL47: What are you talking about?
Clyde: Why don't you try shooting that big orange thing there?
GL47: Sure, I'll nail... hey, wait a sec, that's the transporter machine!
Clyde: Ask me if I care.
GL47: Do you?
Clyde: Yes. Then again, I might be lying.
GL47: What???
Clyde: Is that a refrigerator under your fax machine, or is your helicopter merely missing a cupcake?
GL47: What are you... ugh...
-GL47 collapses and begins to reboot-
Clyde: Dumb little thing, so easily confused. Ah, I see they've finished the machine...
-Clyde flies towards it, but Crant spots him-
Crant: What are you doing? Why didn't GL47 eradicate you?
Clyde: I think you'd better brush up on your programming, since his brain is about as strong as an emaciated Squab.
Crant: But I didn't... wait... that doctor...
Clyde: Whatever, it's not my business. See ya!
Crant: Come back here you little rodent!
-Before Crant can grab him, Clyde enters the machine and is transported back to the real world-
Crant: I'll deal with him later. DOCTOR! GET OVER HERE, NOW!
-One of the square tiles rises and the doctor walks out-
Doctor: What is being your request?
Crant: Why did you give GL47 such a weak central processor?
Doctor: What are you talking about?
Crant: Look over there! He just collapsed for no reason.
Doctor: Hmm, zees is probably just a minor malfunction. Go, I follow you.
Crant: Right, this had better be a small glitch or you're going to get it.
-Crant walks towards the downed GL47. The doctor slowly backs up towards the machine and once Crant is a good distance away, he makes a run for it-
Crant: I don't like to see my units... hey, GET BACK HERE!
Doctor: So long, bully!
-The doctor jumps into the machine before any Cyber Legionaries can grab him-
Crant: Bah, who needs him! I can fix GL47 all by myself. Soon it will be up and running and when it is... look out!
-Meanwhile, the doctor exits the computer and winds up in a corridor of the Fairy Council-
Legionary: Heir Doctor? What are you doing here?
Doctor: Um... just a background checking.
Legionary: ...uh, okay. Carry on.
-The doctor walks away from the computer towards the Heart of the World. When he arrives, he sees the four machines (which are now completely functional), several guards, the Elite Legionary and the Grand Minimus Teensies locked in cages-
Doctor: Now, if I could remember zee proper procedure... ah, here it is. Excuse me, Elite Legionary!
Elite: Yes, what is it?
Doctor: I noticed on zees control panel two that you are having a level 12 alert.
Elite: Oh my... a level 12 alert? That's horrible! LEGIONARIES! DEACTIVATE THE MACHINES!
Legionary: Why?
Elite: There's no time to explain. DO IT!
Legionary: Okay then...
-The legionaries deactivate the machines. The Elite Legionary checks the supposed machine in question-
Elite: Hey, there's no level 12 alert here. What are you...
-He looks around, but the doctor is nowhere to be seen-
Elite: Hmm... how odd... anyway, I'd better double-check the machine just to make sure.
-As the Elite is fiddling with the controls, the Heart of the World begins to glow-
Elite: Huh? That doesn't look good. Everyone, turn the machines back on NOW!
Legionary: But what about the level 12...
Elite: Must you question everything I say? Just restart everything!
Legionary: Erm, yes sir.
-As the Cyber Legionaries attempt to restart the machines, the Heart of the World seemingly bursts with a bright flash-
Elite: Eep... that can't be good.
Legionary: We can't turn on the machines! They're overloading!
Elite: Compensate, damnit!
Legionary: I can't! Power levels are reaching critical... we're en route for a complete burnout!
Elite: Can't you shut it down???
Legionary: No, nothing's responding!
Elite: Argh! EVACUATE THE CHAMBER!
-The Elite Legionary and the Cyber Legionaries run out of the room. The Heart bursts with power, eradicating the four machines. The burst also destroys the cages, freeing the Grand Minimus Teensies who are seemingly unharmed by the blast. Once everything settles down, Otto jumps out-
Otto: Ah, it feels so good to be back in my original form. Working for that maniac was no fun at all.
Grand Minimus 1: Ugh... all I can remember is this bright flash and a loud explosion.
Grand Minimus 2: At least we're out of those cages... Otto! Where in blazes did you come from?
Otto: After I had escapes zees clutches of Crant, I decieved the Cyber Freaks into thinking that zees machines were broken. When they deactivated them, I jumped into zee Heart and warned Polokus, restoring my original form and causing zees energy burst.
Grand Minimus 3: I can't believe it... saved by Otto. How can we thank you enough?
Otto: Don't thank me, Polokus shall come soon. Thank him.
-The Heart glows brightly once again and Polokus emerges-
Otto: Now we can finally turn zee tables and rid our world of zee Cyber Freaks once and for all.
Polokus: Bring me to the one called Crant. I shall make it certain that he pays dearly for his crimes.
Otto: Don't be worrying, that bumbling Elite Legionary probably alerted him. Crant should be coming any minute now.
-A few minutes later, Crant comes into the room-
Crant: What happened here? Where are the stabalizer machines?
Otto: They are gone, as you shall be.
Crant: Who is this long-armed creature?
Otto: He is zee one called Polokus.
Crant: Polokus? Who is... wait, the spiritual lord of this planet... so, you have doublecrossed me, doctor.
Polokus: Crant, you must not be allowed to terrorize any more. I will personally eradicate you and all of your kind.
Crant: You want a fight? You got one. I know you're powerful, but I've got a backup plan. You midgets won't defeat me, spiritual lord or not. The Cyber Freaks will consume all.
