And finally I'm back with another chapter sorry this took so long writer's block got in the way but still as requested by whateverman53 with some changes to it but with that enjoy the show
In the dark laboratory on a dark stormy night, we see what appears to be a place similar to that of a horror movie. The laboratory itself was equipped with the sophisticated tools of modern science: Jacob's Ladders, Van De Graaf generators, bulky pilot-lit cabinets, poorly-adjusted Bunsen burners, retorts bubbling with sinister chemicals, murky jars holding mutant monstrosities, strung wires with bad insulation.
At the center of the said lab ,is an operating table that resembled a stone slab raised by two sets of chains, on each side of it and on the table happened to be a strange looking pink robot that looked to be the shape of a hemisphere, with a face that consisted of a little red light bulb for its nose with goggle like yellow eyes ,and ears and a tail similar to a dog. Raising the said slab happened to be a man whose eyes were covered up by sunglasses, that had scruffy black hair, he also sported a white t shirt, blue shorts, and sandals with flowers on them.
Once the table was raised up to the open roof where a strong thunderstorm was occuring outside that's when lightning struck upon the table Then a terrific crash of thunder booms, and electric machines flash, crackle and buzz. the man known simply as Di Lung looks on with fascination and excitement when this occurred before he proceeds to lower the operating table back down to see what other results happened on what was his supposed experiment.
Once the robotic creature began to come to life, the first words it spoke where "Bow Wow" in a very robotic tone while its light bulb nose flashes , this makes Di Lung laugh in satisfaction, as he then says "at last Mecha Courage 2.0 lives ,and will surely blow socks of the no good dog who beat old Mecha Courage last time I make sure of it" in which the robotic dog like being known as Mecha Courage 2.0 simply replies "Bow Wow."
One early morning in the farmhouse in the Middle of Nowhere ,we find Courage out in the dry land field solving a Rubik's cube ,then he is greeted by a very familiar face which happened to be Di Lung looming over him, saying "hey dog happy to see you still doing well for yourself" glaring at him ,as Courage attempts to ignore him.
"Anyway, I got something new to show you wanna see?" asked Di Lung to Courage ,who decides to look at him and give him a bit of his time, only to notice the pink metallic being beside Di Lung who introduces it to Courage, announcing "dog say hello to Mecha Courage 2.0" which the robot dog says in its robotic tone "Bow Wow" then Di Lung describes some of Mecha Courage 2.0's features, stating "unlike the last Mecha Courage you destroyed , Mecha Courage 2.0 have longer battery so he no wear out, and got extra upgrades."
Courage starts to grow annoyed with him ,as he returns to solving his rubik's cube only for Di Lung to take it from him ,and brag about Mecha Courage 2.0 explaining "I also improve him a little more on new Mecha Courage to be better, foolproof this time " then he starts to laugh while Courage starts to grow annoyed by him.
Suddenly, Courage and Di Lung's supposed conversation was interrupted by the sound of someone in the backyard shouting unmentionable words at the top of his lungs in pain. Concerned over the sound ,Courage runs over to the location to see what it was making the noise.
The sound turned out to be Gavin caressing his hand which was completely red. Courage approaches with concern ,as Gavin takes notice and says to Courage "hey boy, did you sleep well last night last night?" Trying to hide the fact that he is in pain. Courage simply stares back at him with concern.
"Well it must at least better then what just happened to me" says Gavin ,while looking back at his hand explaining his situation afterwards. "All I did was try and switch out the light bulb for the back door porch light, and I get burned can you believe that?" Asks Gavin ,adding in a comment afterwards saying "if i didn't know any better, I'd say pop left his porch light unchanged for quite a while" to which Courage looks at Gavin, as if to assure him he's not mistaken.
However, right when Courage is about to do something right as Gavin's back is turned , Courage was about to help Gavin with his hand with a first aid kit conveniently taken out of his fur ,only to then be knocked away by the Mecha Courage 2.0 who rams the poor dog as it begins to help Gavin.
It begins by scanning Gavin's injury identifying it ,saying "Injury detected: First Degree Burn treat immediately " in which the robo dog then produces from his open head hatch: a bottle of cold water, gauze, and ointment cream as it begins to use each item to heal his injured hand, while holding his hand with another arm from its hatch and when it was done, Gavin was amazed by the fact that what he believes to be his mother's dog actually treated his hand.
But as soon as he was about to say something, Mecha Courage 2.0 then produces from his hatch a robotic claw and unscrews the bulb from the porch, quickly replacing it with a new bulb much to Gavin's surprise, as he says"wow that is amazing Courage ,I never knew you would also make a good handyman...Er dog" chuckling in embarrassment at his miswording ,and while the Mecha Courage 2.0 is getting praised the real Courage growls at what he is witnessing.
An hour later inside the house ,we find Muriel and Eustace where seated in their respective seats with Courage resting on Muriel's lap ,while she gently rocks back and forth on her rocking chair, unfortunately their relaxation was put to an abrupt halt by the distracting sound of the loud squeaking that the chair produces.
Courage before he can jump off her and do something ,he hears a knock at the door to which Courage goes to answer.
When he does however, who would be at the door but none other than Mecha Courage 2.0. who zips by Courage knocking him outside the door ,and yet the family do not see this.
When it stops in front of Muriel, she takes notice of the machine she easily confuses for her dog.
The Mecha Courage 2.0 begins scanning Muriel's chair, as he began to use his mechanical gloved hands to delicately lift Muriel from her chair ,setting her to the side afterwards as he commenced reconstruction of her rocking chair.
After it finishes, Mecha Courage 2.0 places Muriel back on her chair ,then rocks it again. Muriel was satisfied that it no longer makes noisy squeaking noises much to her delight .as Muriel thanks the robot saying "thank ya Courage. your quite the carpenter" in which the robot says "Bow Wow" all while Courage looking from outside the front door. starts getting understandably annoyed.
Late in the afternoon ,we now find Eustace out in the front yard attempting to repair his truck ,but sadly to no avail as we see his truck end up in a more worse state than how it would have looked on any other day, much to his suffering and annoyance as he kicks a tire.
Gina dressed in a Shakespearean dress, steps out of the car to scold the old farmer saying "whats taking so long ,the Nowhere Theater tryouts for their Romeo and Juliet start in an hour" in which Eustace replies "lousy woman ,can't ya see me truck aint working ,there ain't no way I can take you to your lousy play if it don't run right! " beating on the hood ,only for the truck to blow steam in his face.
It didn't take long for the robotic canine to approach the elderly farmer, calling out to him with the usual "Bow Wow" catching Eustace by surprise, who asks "what do you want stupid dog ,can't ya see I'm busy!?"
The robotic dog simply scanning the truck ,then begins his attempt to fix it ,starting by lifting up the hood, then out of his head hatch a number of repair tools come out ,as it starts to work on repairs to the truck, Eustace could not believe his eyes as he wondered is this really happening?
Once the robot was done ,we now see the truck is not only in working condition, the truck also has been cleaned to a point where it shined, the tires where now all terrain types ,and given a fancy new exhaust pipe in which Eustace stares on in amazement, before telling the robotic being he believes to be Courage "oh I never seen my truck so fancy like this in years, you know your not that bad after all dog...But your still a stupid dog!"
The Mecha Courage was not phased by the old farmers words however ,as it simply says "bow wow" meanwhile we see Courage exiting the farmhouse ,only to notice the Mecha Courage 2.0. and what it had done to the truck ,much to his shock.
What really made the pink dog upset however ,was when he heard Gina ask Mecha Courage 2.0 "hey Courage ,you want to come see me try out?" In which Mecha Courage 2.0 responds with a simple "bow wow" ,before jumping in the truck and on Gina's lap ,then without a second glance they drive off with Courage still staring on in dismay.
Unknown to the pink dog that Di Lung was watching from a distance ,laughing at the poor dog's jealousy, as he says to himself "knew dumb dog won't be match for Mecha Courage 2.0. ,soon vengeance will be mine at last" in which he then continues to laugh.
What Di Lung failed to notice however was where he was standing, as he was laughing in his car on the road as we see another car drive right into the side of his car crashing it, revealing to be a red car with a label on the side that read a driver in training, before resuming its course, as Di Lung shakes his fist at the vehicle and says "watch where you're going you fool!"
The next morning ,we find the grownups watching t.v. with Courage for about a few minutes, until we begin to hear the sound of screaming come from upstairs.
Afterwards we see Madeline run down stairs crying toward her parents, carrying something pink and fluffy in both her hands "mommy, daddy!" she shouted jumping on her mom, who asks in concern "Maddie sweetie whats wrong?" In which we then see Katy abruptly storm downstairs, getting all the family's attention from which Muriel asks the girl's what was the matter.
"Mommy Daddy K-Katy ripped kitty's head in half!" Madeline sobs, presenting the torn stuffed animal to her parents, as Gavin turns to the eldest in an upset tone before asking "now why would you do that Katy?" In which Katy then presents to them the condition of her hair, which was dripping in some kind of green substance, while angrily saying "she started it, she spilled green paint all over my hair while I was asleep!"
Madeline in defense, would reply "I said I was sorry, you didn't have to take it out on kitty!" In which Katy was about to answer back in an angered tone ,only for Muriel to settle the girls down and say "now girls really ,making such a fuss over what the other did" in which both girls simultaneously say "but grandma"only for Gavin to step in and say "girls ,no buts around grandma. Now I'm sure we can fix this."
Courage nods his head in agreement ,then proceeds to jump of Muriel's lap as Gina says to him "hey Courage, you think you can help the girls out?" in which the pink pooch obliges ,as Muriel says to him "I believe I keep the thread and needle in my bedroom ,won't you be a dear and get it?"
The Cowardly dog once again nods his head to the as he heads upstairs to retrieve the needle and thread, unbeknownst to him that after he left the Mecha Courage 2.0 enters through the living room as Gina comments "that was fast."
"Did you find me needle and thread?" Asks Muriel ,only for the robotic dog to then pull out from the head hatch what she asked for which amazes everyone. Mecha Courage 2.0 grabbing the stuffed kitten from Madeline's arms, then begins to sew the head right back on handing it back to her afterwards, thus Madeline squeaks in joy hugging her beloved kitten once it was returned.
Katy despite everyone being amazed by this, starts to notice something off about the pink being who fixed her sister's toy. Suddenly just as she was about to start to piece together an idea, the Mecha Courage 2.0 then starts to work on fixing Katy's hair using shampoo and paint remover on it ,while scrubbing off the paint with hands out of its hatch.
When it was done, it said to her "bow wow" in which Muriel then asks the girls "there now that wasn't so bad now was it" in which the girls agree it wasn't ,then apologizing to one another for what they did as the elderly woman then lifts Courage off the ground , she says "and we have Courage to thank" despite the praise the robot was getting Katy looking at the being that cleaned her hair ,began to see that something was not right.
Once Courage returns ,he notices this making him drop the needle and thread he was carrying as the family continue to admire and show appreciation over a pink metal version of him, while continuing to watch T.V. together and on Muriel's lap of all places ,which causes Courage to start shedding tears hang his head in defeat.
That night as the girls where getting ready for bed, Katy sitting on her bed turns to Madeline who asks her big sister "Maddie, did you notice something "strange" about Courage today?" In which Katy would say "you mean the fact how he helped everybody super fast ,and the fact he's talking like a robot then yes."
"You really think so?" asks Madeline in concern ,suddenly their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the sound of sobbing coming from the living room, from which the girls go to investigate.
Once downstairs, the girls encounter a sad Courage carrying a bindle over his shoulder as well as a suitcase in one of his hands ,as he looks back at the very room he leaves from. Seeing how he has been replaced by a machine ,the unwanted pink dog leaves the house in sorrow, the girls witnessing this begin to sob silently over this.
By the time Courage steps onto the front porch, he was suddenly stopped by an approaching Di Lung laughing at his face ,as he says "see I told you no way you beat Mecha Courage 2.0 I make sure of it ,he better than you, better than you in every way, better than you for sure, when there problem Mecha Courage 2.0 on it like metal on magnet unlike dumb dog like you!"
Di Lung afterwards then starts to laugh over the victory he had once again obtained from Courage ,only to be halted be the stern sound of Katy's voice shouting "HEY JERK! Don't you dare talk about our dog that way!" Followed by Madeline, who says "yeah ,Courage is better then some dumb old robot dog!"
Laughing at the girls attempt at sticking up for their beloved dog, Di Lung replies "foolish little girls would be wise not to be foolish, I make sure Mecha Courage 2.0 improved to be the best ,even if he were to be challenged in olympic games" Katy hearing this takes him up on his boast ,asking "you want to bet pal? Our dog against that thing through Olympic games in Greece ,we win you stop messing with our dog!"
Laughing at the wager set his way, Di Lung after a short laugh would say "you are fiesty ,ok I accept challenge but if I win, it proves Mecha Courage is better dog and you get to kiss the winner" referring to himself ,as he raises his eyebrows Groucho Marx style.
"You got yourself a bet!" Katy says ,sealing the deal by shaking Di Lung's hand, thus confirming that the challenge was official.
With the agreement set, the opposing sides make their way to Greece more specifically to the Greece coliseum, where Courage and the Mecha Courage 2.0 where shown standing before one another on the opposites side of the arena ,and in the empty crowd we see the girls cheering for their beloved dog, while Di Lung with a smirk on his face in good seats to watch the action unfold.
For the first event for the two is the hundred yard dash ,despite Courage starting off smoothly by the time he reaches the halfway point ,Mecha Courage 2.0. starts to zip through the course at top speed ,thanks to having turbo thrusters when it passes by Courage, he is left burnt to a crisp from being exposed to the flames on the thrusters ,which make the girls cheer on for Courage more loudly in the hopes he'll do better in the next game.
The second event that the two endured was the ribbon dancing ,event and Courage while wearing a leotard manages to pull of a very graceful dance which even receives praise from the girls, only for his moment of silence to be abruptly interrupted by the Mecha Courage 2.0 who wraps Courage around a very sturdy metal chain that the robot is using as a ribbon ,before he repeatedly slams him down giving his audience the performance of a lifetime.
When it finishes, Courage now on the ground beaten to a pulp and covered in bruises only barely arises and laughs, while he's in pain despite Courage's situation the girls continue to show their support while cringing at what Courage had become.
Soon it became the same way for every event, Courage has a good headstart only to be upstaged by the Mecha Courage 2.0 and each time the robot upstages the poor dog ,and it always ends with Courage being in pain while the girls cheer Courage on ,despite cringing every time he loses yet they try to stay supportive of their dog ,until the last event.
On the last event that occured is the ball toss ,and like usual Courage with an olympic ball on one hand was about to start on his, when suddenly the Mecha Courage 2.0 grabs Courage before the poor pooch could do anything ,then it raises Courage over itself like a catapult. Courage looking at the readers ,then says "the things I do for-" suddenly the Mecha Courage 2.0. throws Courage over the other side of the arena, before he could even finish his sentence.
With that the games where over and the Mecha Courage 2.0 came out victorious ,while Courage was now on the ground in utter pain as the girls frantically scream his name in worry, and run toward him as Katy asks "Courage are you ok?" while Madeline hugs him while she sobs in worry.
"Looks to me like I win bet dog, now you know Mecha Courage 2.0. better than you and I prove it to you now" Di Lung says with a laugh. This gets Katy to finally snap at the black haired man ,as she shouts out "IS THAT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT!? MY DOG IS IN PAIN ,AND ALL YOU CAN THINK OF IS A STUPID VICTORY!?" Di Lung was unphased by her words, as he says "you were at fault girly, you wanted to make bet dog can't win Mecha Courage and never will, looks like you proven wrong you fool" thus he continues to laugh at Courage's state.
What Di Lung failed to notice as he continued to laugh at the girls and Courage's misfortune ,was how Mecha Courage 2.0 was observing what was happening ,not only did it notice Di Lung's cruel nature toward a harmed animal, but also how Madeline was cradling the damaged dog in her little arms as she sobs for his loss ,making his glowing yellow eyes turn red with anger.
When he was finished Di Lung ,applies breath spray then saying "now I believe you owe winner big smooch ,and I prefer on the lips if you please?" However unbeknownst to him was the angry Mecha Courage behind him ,who proceeds to aim for Di Lung with a bazooka that came from its head hatch and by the time Di Lung notices, the Mecha Courage blasts the sunglasses wearing teen up to the sky as the trio hear his screams as he quickly starts to fade away.
The girls after witnessing this act of treason toward its owner ,the Mecha Courage 2.0 then approaches the girls very carefully as it takes out of its head hatchet a white flag and waves it signifying that it had surrendered to Courage ,much to the girls shock toward the robotic being as it then begins to treat Courage as a means of apology, from which Madeline slowly starts to appreciate the robotic dog a little more ,thanking it for what it did in which it replies "Bow Wow!"
Katy despite appreciating the dogs deed, would then ask "what exactly do we do with it though? I mean the guy who made this is probably halfway to Africa by now" this starts to make Courage hatch an idea, as he took out a cellphone from his phone and call up a very important number.
By the time the crew return back to nowhere, thanks to the pink dog Mecha Courage 2.0 now makes a living working at a spa tending to customers treating whatever ails them, as well as make them happy in any way it can.
Back at the farmhouse ,we find the family watching t.v as usual as if nothing had happened and Courage was back to his rightful spot on Muriel's lap ,as they watch a commercial on t.v. come up ,with the announcer saying "This program was brought to you by poochanic: from the makers of techno dog, all the fun of having a dog ,but without the mess!" and on the screen was a robotic dog barking and turning its head.
"We have got to get us one of those" stated Eustace, "it would definitely be better than this stupid dog!" Only for Muriel to defend him, saying "now Eustace, you know the rest of us aren't people who would abandon Courage" followed by Gina ,who says "he is better than any old belles and whistles" then Katy steps in to say "he's more than that ,he's an amazing friend" followed by Madeline who says "one of a kind."
Courage simply looks upon the readers and we see his eyes revealing that they glow, as he says "Bow Wow" in the same manner as the Mecha Courage 2.0.
