Wander over Yonder Season 3-32

Dominator, Sylvia, Wander, and some of the Dombots were visiting a semi-inhabitable planet where the Dombots were busy searching for Dombot remnants to salvage.

"This stuff is genius! How'd you ever come up with this?" Sylvia questions as she and Dominator examined the internal components of a Dombot Knight.

"Plenty of trial and error. Not that impressive" Dominator says.

"You're too modest" Sylvia compliments.

"Thanks. What's more impressive is how quickly you're picking up on this stuff."

"I've tinkered around fixing up spaceships and such so not that impressive" Sylvia says. "You got to if you're traveling the galaxy. I never actually put together an actual robot army like you. Now an army of Dombots; that is a feat!"

"You're too kind" Dominator says. "I understand Knights are your favorite bots."

"You could say that. The way they carry themselves and stomp around with authority!" Sylvia praises. "I'm not a fan of the destruction they once reaped but I gotta respect their power and the engineering that must have gone into them."

"You wanna ride one?" Dominator asked.

"We can ride them?" Sylvia asked with increasing excitement.

"Why not? Just climb aboard and send them marching" Dominator explains.

"...Turbo, would that be okay with you?" Sylvia asks the Knight Dombot.

"That would be acceptable" Turbo answers.

"Alright. As long as you're okay with it" Sylvia says climbing up on the Dombot. "...Uhh, giddy-up? Whoa!"

Turbo begins to march with Sylvia riding atop it.

"How is it?" Dominator asks.

"Wind in my hair, every footstep imposing its weight, sitting atop a machine of conquest! I'm feeling really powerful up here right now!" Sylvia answers thrilled.

"Easy now. We don't need you getting hooked on the conquest life" Dominator warns playfully.

"Ahahaha! This Knight is making the case otherwise" Sylvia answers as her Dombot ride begins to gallop.

"Hey Syl!" Wander greets while watching over a number of Dombots digging at an excavation site. "Nice ride!"

"Hahaha! Who's the horse now?" Sylvia asks atop the galloping Knight Dombot.

"Heya Dee" Wander greets an approaching Dominator.

"Hey Wander. How's excavation coming along?" Dominator asks.

"Pretty good. We've recovered 5 Dombots so far" Wander says approaching a table with a cloth over it. Lifting the cloth, Wander discovers the pile not to be of Dombot remnants but rather, a pile of rocks and dirt.

"That's not Dombot remnants" Dominator observes. "Looks more like a pile of dirt."

"What? Who? When? But just minutes ago-" Wander stammers trying to figure out where the aforementioned remnants had gone.

Dominator then notices a business card of sorts atop the pile of dirt. Picking it up, she begins to read.

"Congratulations! You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a slick fugitive: Robbin' Goblin!"

-=episode title=-

THE ROBBIN' GOBLIN

-=episode title=-

"Slick fugitive my foot!" Sylvia mocks moments later. "This Robbin' Goblin fella must think he's soo~ smooth. What sort of slick criminal leaves their business card at the crime scene?"

"That's an excellent question, Syl" Wander agrees.

"One that's very proud of their misdeed" Dominator explains. "Take it from me, a former villain. When you feel so successful and devious, you wanna show off and even mock your victims. A lot of villainy is ego-driven: what do you think the villain leaderboard is about? It's about showing off!"

"That makes sense" Sylvia accepts.

"And whoever this Robbin' Goblin is made off with our brethren" a blue-glowing Dombot named XJ-8 points out. "Unacceptable!"

"Bots, mind scanning this thing and helping track down our thief?" Dominator asks holding up the business card.

"Of course" XJ-8 agrees.

In another part of the galaxy, Lord Hater was in the command room of his Skull Ship. With his legs up on a command console, Hater was busy relaxing as he often did during regular work hours.

"Lord Hater, we are now arriving on planet 726-c" one of a number of Watchdogs in the room speaks up.

"Does this planet have bushes?" Hater asks.

"Uhh, yes it does" a Watchdog answers after a quick glance at his computer monitor. "Why?"

"Because I gotta walk Tim Tim" Hater replies as he stood up from his seat and exited the room.

The room was silent for a while.

"He's not going to make one of us walk Captain Tim is he?" a Watchdog asks aloud.

"You know he is. He's in a lazy mood today. Like usual" a Watchdog says looking up from his phone.

"Like usual and he's totally making one of us do it."

"I nominate Mike" a Watchdog speaks up.

"Me!? Why me!?" Mike asks alarmed.

"You haven't done it for the longest time" a different Watchdog says.

"Oh yeah? Well when's the last time Larry's walked Captain Tim?" Mike asks.

"I did it two planets ago!" Larry defends. "Make Marty do it!"

Marty was quick to object and soon, the Watchdogs began to toss the burden around.

"What's going on!?" Commander Peepers demands shortly after entering. "What's with all the noise!? And where is Lord Hater?"

"He went to fetch Tim Tim I think" Mike says.

"Tim Tim?" Peepers repeats.

"AAaaaah!" Hater runs into the room screaming.

"Sir! What's wrong?" Peepers asks.

"Someone stole Tim Tim's collars and leashes!" Hater lets out in dismay.

For brief and quiet moments, the Watchdogs all eye each other.

"...Oh no~. That's terrible~" a Watchdog says sarcastically.

"I guess he's not walking today" another Watchdog adds.

"This is the most devastating news you could have given us, sir" Mike speaks up among upbeat chatter.

As restrained celebration simmered, Peepers notices something in Hater's hand before asking "sir, what's that in your hand?"

"Huh? Oh. A business card of some sort" Hater answers. "Someone left it where I keep Tim Tim's leashes and collars."

"What does it say?"

"I don't know, I didn't read it" Hater answers.

Peepers and Hater stare at each other for a few seconds.

"...Well read it!" Peepers implores loudly.

"Ugh! Do I gotta!?"

"Yes!"

"Why don't 'you' read it!" Hater says shoving the card into Peepers's hands.

"Fine!" Peepers agrees while an irked Hater crosses his arms.

"...Robbin' Goblin... That's whose this is" Peepers learns.

"Robbin' Goblin? Who's he?" Hater asks.

"That's who took Captain Tim's leashes and collars" Peepers speculates.

"Then he's the one who'll be feeling my wrath!" Hater vows shaking an electrified fist in the air.

"Gah! Watch it sir!" Peepers lets out as green electricity threatened to fry expensive electronics.

The Dombots and Hater were not the only ones to suffer this new villain's wrath.

Relaxing in his luxury hot tub inside his limo ship was Emperor Awesome. He was alone and floating in the tub was some of his deepest, darkest secrets. Secrets he did NOT want getting out lest he become a laughingstock.

Children's plastic toys were the opposite of cool but that's exactly what Awesome was playing with while relaxing in his bubbling hot tub.

"Hey babe! I'm here to save you from lametown" Emperor Awesome said voicing a toy that looked exactly like him.

"Oh, Emperor Awesome! My hero!" he said in falsetto while voicing a toy that looked exactly like Sylvia. "Please hold me with your big, strong muscles!"

"Come here B. My arms will always be open to you" Awesome says as he makes both toys hug.

"I feel so safe and loved in your arms, honey" he makes the Sylvia doll say.

"And you feel so warm and soft and tender in my arms, Becks" Awesome answers softly.

"Kiss me you handsome, handsome shark!" the Sylvia doll demands.

"Thought you'd never ask" the Awesome doll says.

"Mwah, mwah~" Awesome emits simulating kisses between the two dolls.

"Let's hop in my ride babe and get somewhere more bumpin'~!" the Awesome doll says.

"Oh my! Let's~" the Sylvia doll responds as Awesome reaches into a nearby chest.

"Wh-what? Where's my limo action figure?" Awesome asks. "What the heck?" he almost gasps after withdrawing a business card. Robbin' Goblin's business card.

The list of Robbin' Goblin's victims grew pulling in names like Little Bits and Destructor and soon, the name became famous on the intergalactic web. Speculation on the identity of this figure ran rampant as well as potential base of operations. One suspected location was a planet named R44.

Planet R44 was one that seemed overgrown with thick forest. Following trackers installed on a great number of the Dombots, the Domship approaches.

"Dombots tracked to this planet" Beep Boop announces in the Domship's command room.

"Somewhere on this planet, we're finding our thief" Dominator seems to tell herself as she assessed the challenge before her. "I'm going in" she says deploying her armor from the neck down.

"If you're going, I'm going too" Wander declares hopping up to Dominator's armored shoulder.

"And if Wander's going, I'm going too" Sylvia says.

"Thanks Syl!" the ever-grateful Wander thanks.

"I too wish to accompany Lord Wander" Whirry volunteers.

"Thanks Whirry!" Wander again thanks.

Just before the four could descend on the planet, the Skull Ship and Awesome's Limo Ship also show up.

"Lord Dominator!" Hater greets in a growl after the Domship receives his communication.

"Hiya Hatey!" Wander greets. "How's my long-time buddy?"

"Shut up!" Hater growls.

"Heya nerds" Awesome greets in his communication.

"Oh no" Sylvia mutters to herself.

"Hiya Awesome!" Wander greets.

"What do you two want?" Dominator asks in a colder tone.

"Someone stole Captain Tim's belongings and the internet told me a thief on this planet was responsible" Hater answers. "Why are you guys here?"

"A nephew of mine lost HIS toy limo" Awesome says. "I'm just here trying to track HIS toy down."

"You have a nephew!?" Wander asks intrigued.

"Th-that's right" Awesome says trying to keep his cool. "And HIS toy limo has been stolen. He gave me this card" he says revealing the same business card Dominator and Hater had recovered.

"Robbin' Goblin!" all read in unison.

"As you can see, this was given to my NEPHEW after HIS toy limo was stolen" Awesome says. "I'm just trying to get it back so my NEPHEW can keep playing with HIS toy limo."

"...Nephew, huh?" Sylvia questions quietly to herself.

"We got the same card" Wander informs.

"Argh! Enough talk!" Hater growls. "My Tim Tim needs his walks!"

Hater was the first to land on the suspect planet, the others right after. The party of six then looked around to find jungle-like forest.

"Alright! Where to?" Sylvia asks readying for a fight.

Whirry projects a basic overview of the crowded terrain. "Sensors indicate Dombot signals were once here and headed south."

"Straight ahead. Got it" Hater says before charging forwards aimlessly.

"Hater! Wait!" Wander exclaims but Hater was too busy being angry to bother.

Once Hater reached an exotic-looking bush, a vicious-looking piranha plant extends out and snaps its jaws shut to ensnare Hater between them.

"Mmmhppmmmhh!" Hater lets out while halfway into the piranha plant's mouth.

"Don't worry buddy, I'll save you" Wander says pulling on Hater's ankles.

"Cool plant" Dominator compliments before pulling Hater out of the piranha plant's mouth and setting him down.

"You okay buddy?" Wander asks.

"I'm okay. And I'm not your buddy" Hater says while dazed and covered with the piranha plant's digestive juices.

"Let's see" Wander says pulling out a giant book out of his hat. "Some dangerous plants could be ahead so let's proceed carefully."

"Totally agree" Sylvia says.

Awesome then rests his forearm on Sylvia's shoulder.

"Hey B. Long time no see" the shark-headed villain says. "Whatcha been up to?"

"Traveling the galaxy with my buddy Wander and Dominator and the Dombots" Sylvia says crossing her arms.

"Ya having fun with that?" Awesome asks dismissively while admiring his flexed bicep.

"It can be quite adventurous" Sylvia says pushing Awesome away with her tail. "The name's Sylvia by the way" she reminds before Awesome is swept off his feet by a tentacle seizing his ankle.

"AAAaaaah!" Awesome exclaims as the tentacle drags him towards a large tree. Awesome tries to claw at the ground but he's dragged regardless, the tree's side suddenly cracking apart to reveal a mouth-like opening seemingly intending to devour the shark-headed villain. "A-a little help here!"

"Hiyaaa!" Sylvia shouts swiping at the tentacle hard enough to sever it. Hater quickly scurries away.

"Th-thanks Becks!" Awesome says.

"What kind of forest is this!?" Sylvia demands, her fists up and ready.

"An excellent question Syl" Wander responds before digging into his book. "This forest on planet R44 hosts some of the galaxy's most dangerous plant life. Many in the galaxy refer to it as 'The Forest of Death'."

"Th-the Forest of Death!?" Emperor Awesome repeats in fright.

"Deadliest in the galaxy" Wander responds.

The party of six start to eye the forest around them with more suspicion. A great part of it looked perfectly normal but this only made it look dangerously deceptive.

"Welcome mortals!" a loud and threatening voice echoes throughout the dark forest. "Welcome to my Death Forest!"

"Forest of Death" Wander corrects.

"Y-yes, thank you. My Forest of Death!" the voice says. "Why have you come!?"

"We're looking for a thief!" Hater shouts.

"You will find none here" the voice answers.

"Who the heck are you!?" Sylvia demands.

"I will ask the questions here! Leave at once or proceed at your own peril!" the voice asks as the party tried to discern where the voice was coming from.

"We came here for one reason and one reason only" Dominator speaks up. "To recover our Dombots!"

"Affirmative" Whirry adds.

"And I'm here to get back my Tim Tim's leashes and collars!" Hater makes clear. "He needs his walks!"

"And I gotta get back my toy- my NEPHEW's toy limo!" Awesome is quick to correct. "S-so I'm not leaving until I've gotten it back!"

"Then proceed to your dooms" the voice menaced.

With Whirry's guidance, the party advances surrounded by thick forest that seemed to grow thicker and a canopy that made day seem more like night the further they went.

"...It's dark" Sylvia comments. "And getting darker."

"And quiet" Whirry adds.

"Too quiet" Hater says, his hands harnessing green electricity. "...There!" Hater exclaims blasting green light towards a random direction. The green light strikes the side of a tree illuminating the site momentarily revealing nothing of note.

"There?" Awesome asks.

"There what?" Sylvia adds.

"There was the bad guy and he got away before I could hit him" Hater excuses to critical looks. "At least I'm trying in all this dark!"

"Let's just keep going" Whirry says still leading the way.

The party gets moving once more.

"Whoa! Get down!" Awesome exclaims tackling Sylvia down to the ground. Everyone else responds by quickly ducking.

"What? What!?" Dominator lets out looking around in alarm.

"What'd you see!?" Sylvia asks with Awesome on top of her.

"Just a pretty lady who needed a rescue" Awesome says grinning down at Sylvia. "Don't worry Becks. You're safe with me."

Sylvia kicks Awesome, the two roll briefly, and Sylvia ends up pinning the shark down to the forest floor.

"Well I see fish bait if a certain someone doesn't get serious about our trip through death forest!" Sylvia warns.

"Forest of Death" Wander corrects.

"Whatever!" Sylvia dismisses.

"Just trying to help, Becks" Awesome excuses.

"Oh, I'm sure" Sylvia waves off.

"Look out!" Dominator shouts taking flight, landing beside Wander, and summoning a protective magma dome around the two.

Whirry, Sylvia, Awesome, and Hater stare at the magma dome for a few moments.

"...You two aren't fooling anyone" Sylvia says out loud. "I mean you'd have to be a serious idiot to fall for this."

"Whoa! What do you think almost got Wander?" Hater asks Awesome.

"Don't know but I gotta make sure it doesn't do my Becks in" Awesome says wrapping an arm around Sylvia.

"Maybe it DID get Wander!?" Hater says eager to see Wander's demise.

Dominator then exits the magma dome with no Wander.

"Yeah! Wander's a goner!" Hater celebrates.

Wander then also walks out of the dome which dissolves shortly after.

"Oh, come on!" Hater pouts.

"Got it out of your system?" Sylvia asks the approaching Dominator.

"For now" Dominator says applying fresh black lipstick.

"Wander, is that a deadly disease on your face!?" Hater asks of the lipstick all over Wander's face, his fingers crossed.

"If I say it is, will it make you happy?" Wander asks.

"Yes!" Hater exclaims nodding happily.

"Then yes! I'm done for, buddy" Wander says reaching towards Hater weakly while making a choking sound.

"Woooo! You're a goner!" Hater cheers. "And I'm not your buddy!"

Sylvia then walks up to Wander to clean his face up with a damp cloth.

"Can we get going please? I'm getting sick of this place" Sylvia reveals as she follows Whirry's lead, Awesome tailing her.

"Hey! Did you just cure him!?" Hater demands of Sylvia. "What'd you do that for!?"

The party walked on and closed in on the indicator in Whirry's projection. This goes on for several minutes during which the party's footsteps are all that could be heard.

The sound of something wooden straining could then be heard.

"What's that sound!?" Awesome asks.

"It sounds like-" Wander began to answer before a tree branch came swinging for him. Sylvia, quick on her feet, intercepts this swing and catches the branch.

"What the heck is this!?" Sylvia exclaims trying to hold the branch in her arms.

"Whipping trees!" Wander answers indicating tall and thin trees drawing back their branches before snapping them violently like whips.

"Whipping trees!?" Sylvia repeats before more branches swing taking aim at the party.

"Oww!" Hater exclaims after his butt suffers a branch lashing.

"Ooh!" Awesome lets out similarly, his butt spanked. "I expect dinner and a movie before we get to this part."

Whirry gets whipped but does not seem to even notice.

"Aah! Whoa! Gah!" Wander yells running about to dodge several branches snapping at him.

Transforming one of her hands into a buzz saw, Dominator swings at coming branches cutting them off one after another. A pile of chopped-off branches piles up.

"This is nothing! That the best you got!?" Dominator says admiring the now branchless trees around them.

"You talking to me?" the voice from before asks.

"Yeah, you! Show yourself, coward!" Dominator demands. "Are you Robbin' Goblin!?

"Yes! I am the great Robbin' Goblin" the voice answers. "And now that you know, you will not leave this forest alive! Behold my killer bees!"

Large hidden bee hives reveal themselves and release swarms of bees, their buzzing echoing throughout the forest.

"Easy!" Awesome says stepping in. Armed with a boom box, he blasts the bees with powerful sound waves and the bees buzz away.

"Nice one Awesome" Dominator compliments.

"Very well then. Try your luck against my razor leaves!" the voice says and the trees begin to shake. Razor-sharp leaves descend rapidly and speed Dominator's way.

"Flamethrower!" Dominator counters blasting the leaves with fire and burning them to ash.

"Try to survive my sloths of slaughter!" the voice challenges.

Branches part to reveal a gang of sloths that did nothing but sit there because they were sloths.

Dominator and the others stare at the sloths for a few moments.

"Okay, maybe I didn't think this attack through but wait until you get a dose of my poison ivy! Prepare to itch for days!"

Bushes of poison ivy grew out of the ground, encircled the party, and approached as if they had legs.

"My turn!" Hater says wielding giant bush clippers. Though he handled the poison ivy bare handed, the ivy had no effect on Hater for he had no skin. He sculpts the poison ivy into hedge art that read "Hater #1!"

"Okay, I may have underestimated you guys" the voice admits.

"Too many do" Dominator says. "Now show yourself so I can end you!"

"I don't think so. You'll never find me in my Death Forest!"

"Forest of Death" Wander corrects.

"Whatever!" the voice waves off.

"Found him" Whirry says after a quick scanning of a nearby massive tree that had noisy machinery and computer wires attached to it as well as blinking lights, antennae, and satellite dishes.

"How'd we not notice that before?" Sylvia asks herself.

With her buzz saw, Dominator tears into the tree to reveal a goblin-like creature in a dark green fuzzy hood.

"Gaaah!" the creature screams.

Dominator pulls the tree from its root, reels it close, and turns it upside-down. The creature falls out along with several Robbin' Goblin business cards.

"P-please don't hurt me" the goblin asks.

"So you're our Robbin' Goblin?" Dominator asks.

"Maybe" the goblin evades. Dominator points a hot magma cannon at his face. "J-just call me Rob."

"Okay Rob, you're gonna talk if you know what's good for you" Dominator says encasing Rob neck down in ice.

"Cough up what you stole from Tim Tim!" Hater demands.

"Give back my nephew's toy limo, bro!" Awesome joins in.

"Relinquish my brethren at once!" Whirry orders.

"Alright, alright!" the outnumbered goblin surrenders. "I'll give you back your stuff... Just let me out of this ice."

Once released, Rob knocks on a tree and a branch lowers to reveal an empty bird's nest. Digging in, Rob retrieves leashes and collars, all jewel-encrusted.

"Those are some high-class accessories" Wander compliments.

"My Tim Tim deserves the best" Hater says.

"Your toy limo" Rob says.

"It's not a toy! It's an action figure" Awesome corrects. "A-and it's not my toy! It's my nephew's!"

"But you regularly play with toys during bath time" Rob reveals.

"I do not! And how do you know? Bro, you spying on me!?" Awesome demands creeped out.

"I'm a thief. I try to keep eyes everywhere" Rob says handing over the toy limo. "This is an expensive collectible by the way. Take better care of it."

"I know that! I-I mean my nephew knows that" Awesome corrects after Sylvia tosses a knowing smile.

"Your nephew, huh?" Sylvia teases Awesome.

"Yes!" Awesome is adamant.

"Five Dombots" Rob says placing the stolen Dombot remnants before Whirry. "Black market would pay hefty for those bots."

"My brethren are not for sale" Whirry objects as Wander helps him gather the deactivated Dombots.

Rob stares at the others awkwardly for a moment.

"Well... No hard feelings?" Rob asks offering a hug.

"No hard feelings!" Wander is quick to agree while the others scowl.

"Please do take care Rob" Wander says hugging.

"You're too kind!" Rob says after the hug breaks. "...Sucker! Hehehe!" Rob whispers after pick-pocketing Wander.

Sylvia's tail quickly pounds Rob down to the ground. She seizes and returns Wander's humble coin pouch.

"Thanks Syl" Wander says.

"Sure thing buddy" Sylvia replies. "Dee, wanna do the honors?"

"Gladly" Dominator says before blasting Rob and imprisoning him with magma. "Now you stay put and think over your actions."

"H-hey! What are you doing?" Rob asks while he's put before his sloths. "You can't just leave me here!" he protests struggling against his magma rock prison.

"Your sloths have claws. Have them help" Dominator says before she and her party departed leaving Rob to his fate: watching his sloths tap away pointlessly at the magma rock.

"Should have gone with killer koalas" Rob concluded.
