So, we're at the halfway point of this fanfic, which means I'm probably gonna spend more time writing than drawing at the moment just to get this over with. Yeah, this usually happens whenever I do a multi-chapter fanfic. Also, I might be a little slower in uploading the later chapters because I'm preparing for a final school project presentation that will happen at the end of March. Just to let you know. Anyway, review time!
acosta perez jose ramiro: Thanks. :)
Exotos135: Yes. That's a thing, apparently. Also, since Eggman has now forgotten, no need for him to get in trouble. Anyway, thank you.
Alright, let's get to it.
The Science Fair is now just about a week away, which means the scientists are working as hard as they can to get their weapons and defenses done in time. However, they just might be so busy that a certain enemy might come to steal some of their blueprints. However, this chapter will give the story just a bit of a break. Nothing big or grand will happen here, at least not until the end. This will just be a normal side-story with not that much happening. Still, I think it's worth reading if you wanna see some…uh…weird stuff. Anyway, let's begin.
Plankton was not at his work desk at the time being, as he was using some other scientist's work desk in order to watch videos on their tablet with friends. "You got the screen ready?" asked Plankton, who was bringing in some microscope-sized popcorn. We then see that his friends Test Tube and Dr. Fox were starting up the YouTube app.
"Yep, right about now." said Dr. Fox, as she began scrolling for videos. "So what do you wanna watch? Some cat videos? These YTP things? A Swedish person playing video games?"
"Keep scrolling." said Test Tube
"Hmm…music videos, awful politics, Peridot's YouTube cha-wait, hold on." said Dr. Fox, who immediately saw a strange video in the recommended feed. The thumbnail featured Doofenshmirtz in his underwear while wearing a cape and posing. "Isn't that your friend Doofenshmirtz?"
"Why so it is…" said Plankton, confused. "But why is he…dressed like that?" Test Tube then pressed on the video, causing the video to start up. The video in question showed Doofenshmirtz in his teenage years, wearing only his underwear alongside a cape and roller skates. While he was skating in one specific direction, he exclaims: "I am a superstar!" before immediately slipping and falling into a toilet. That was when the video ended.
"Well, that was…weird." said Dr. Fox, who immediately looked at the number of views the video had. "HOLY COW! Millions of views?!"
"OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! OH NO!" Doofenshmirtz shouted so loud it got everybody's attention, as he ran towards the tablet and snatched it from the three. "That old video of mine is very embarrassing to look at, and shouldn't be viewed!"
"Why did you even post it anyway if you thought it was embarrassing?" asked Test Tube. As the scientists came up to him, Doofenshmirtz explained the video by showing it all to them.
"*sigh* So I recorded myself doing this stupid thing just to get popular. Probably just a phase I was going through. When I first uploaded it, it started off incredibly obscure. But one day, nearly a decade ago, the video suddenly became popular and I became a laughing stock. So I made an invention to delete the memory from everyone's minds. It didn't work, but thankfully in the passing years, it died out."
"Why don't you delete it now that nobody cares about it?"
"Even if I did, because it got popular, people have downloaded it hundreds of times, so that would be pretty pointless because someone would just reupload it if I just deleted it. Probably should've never uploaded it in the first place…"
"No need to feel so bad, Doof. We've all done some pretty stupid things just to get noticed at some point…" said Mandark.
"Yeah, I've made a stupid video at one point that was never meant to be shown to the world." said Snaptrap. "But you know…it somehow got there, and since everyone loves stupid…it got popular."
"Same here." said Cricket.
"Also same!" said Mametchi.
"Another one here!" said Eggman, and it just continued from scientist to scientist across the room.
"Well, since we're all apparently in the same boat, there's no use hiding it. How about we watch some of those stupid videos to pass the time?" asked Doof, causing everyone to nod their heads. "This should bring back some memories for you guys." he said as Eggman gets the tablet and begins typing in something.
"Oh, man…this one should be pretty embarrassing…" said Eggman, as he showcases the video for everyone to see.
Let's Play Minecraft – Ep 1: WHAT IS THIS?! (Eggman's channel)
On the corner of recorded Minecraft footage is Eggman, who high fives the camera and says: "TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU LADIES OUT THERE! My name is EggPie! And today, we'll be playing some Minecraft!" Eggman began to move his character. "Now, I'm in this creative mode here so that I can try out some Redstone experiments. Why? So that I can apply these skills in real life! DESIGNING MACHINES TO DESTROY THAT PUNY HEDGEHOG!"
He began flying his character around the world until he found a flat spot. "Oh, this one looks good. Alright, let's get started! Uh…how do I start…"
30 minutes later…
We see that Eggman is completely lost. "OH COME ON! It's easy making them in real life! How is this hard in a video game?!" Upon taking a look at Eggman's machine, it appeared to be just a bunch of random blocks and pistons put together, with Redstone all over the place. A button was randomly placed on one of the blocks, but it didn't do anything to the machine, so it was completely useless. (On a side note, because Eggman was taking so long, the scientists skipped certain parts of the video, as it was all the exact same thing.)
At that point, Eggman snaps and smashes his head on the keyboard, accidentally ending the recording and thus ending the video. The scientists then look at Eggman, who says: "It was a complete waste of time! That game is a complete joke! I didn't learn a single thing!"
"Says the one who got too ambitious over Minecraft." joked Plankton, causing the scientists to laugh.
"Hey, that's not funny!" yelled Eggman to Plankton, as Mandark then gets the tablet from him and began typing in his channel.
"Here's a particularly weird one." said Mandark, tapping on one of his videos.
Mandark Gets Revenge On Dexter! (Mandark's channel)
The video started with a clip from one of Mandark's favorite space opera movies, but instead with his and Dexter's faces slapped onto the characters in the film; Mandark being the bad guy (We'll call him Mandarth) and Dexter being the good guy (We'll just keep calling him Dexter.). As the video went on, we see that the video was dubbed over with Mandark's voice recording of himself and impressions of Dexter and eventually Dee Dee (Or Princess Dee Dee as we'll see later on.).
The video showed Mandarth and Dexter fighting on top of a high spot, with the possibility of falling down on a seemingly endless pit. But it appears that Dexter is cornered, as Mandarth begins to laugh maniacally.
"There is no escape for you now, Dexter!" he said, as he slowly went up to Dexter, who nervously brought out his weapon. "What's this? A laser saber?! The force is strong in you, young Dexter!" As he went up even closer, he began to taunt Dexter.
"Dexter, it is I…MANDARTH! There is something you should know…" He then closely went up to Dexter and whispered into his ear. "Dexter, I…am your neighbor!" This causes Dexter to completely flip out.
"NOOOOOOOOO! I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU! IT IS TOO MUCH FOR MY PUNY INTELLECTUAL PROCESS!" Dexter then tried to quickly slice at Mandarth, but Mandarth knew what he was gonna try to do, so he quickly reacted and sliced off Dexter's arm with his laser saber. "OW! MY ARM! YOU HAVE MY ARM CLEAN OFF!"
"Join me, Dexter! Join the Mandarth side!" he mocked.
"OH NO! I'm scared!" Dexter nervously said as he tipped over and fell down the bottomless pit, presumably to his death. At this point, the movie clip was over with and we now cut to Mandark filming himself with toy versions of the characters, once again slightly changed to reflect Mandarth and Princess Dee Dee, who comes up to him while singing.
"Thank you for saving me from my stupid brother!" she said.
"Ah, Princess Dee Dee! You look radiant as usual!" Mandarth nervously said, causing Dee Dee to giggle.
"And you are so big and strong, Mandarth! I can resist your advances no longer! Kiss me, Mandarth!"
"I thought you would never ask!" He then proceeded to have the two action figures kissing each other for the last 5 seconds as the video ends. After it ended, Mandark saw that everybody was looking at him funny, not sure how to react. Especially Dexter, who simply said: "I'll be in the bathroom washing my eyes out." before he left.
"What?!" said Mandark, as if he didn't expect the funny looks from everyone. "I have a lot of free time, okay?!" Snaptrap then snatched the tablet away from Mandark as he began typing in something.
"Oh, man! This video of mine's gonna be good!" he exclaimed, as he began showing it to everyone.
SNAPTRAP'S GREATEST PRANK EVER (GONE WRONG) 100% NOT CLICKBAIT (Snaptrap's channel)
"What's up, everybody?!" said Snaptrap, who appeared to be on a random street. "My name is Snaptrap! And today, I'm gonna be pranking some weirdos on the streets! How you may ask? Well, I've got this pillow right here. Nobody expects to get hit with a pillow, so this is gonna be funny! *snickers*"
The next scene showed a hidden camera monitoring the street Snaptrap was in. There was a nearby bush where he was hiding, waiting for his victim to come. Soon, a random citizen just walked by, causing Snaptrap to immediately jump out and throw the pillow onto his face, knocking him onto the ground.
"HAHAHAHA! IT'S JUST A PRANK, BRO!" he laughed before picking up the hidden camera. "Anyway, that's it for today, everyone. Hope you enjoyed it!" The video just immediately ended there, as everybody just stared at Snaptrap with confused faces.
"That's it?" asked Lisa.
"I was in that bush for 2 hours straight! I didn't want to wait for the next one!" Snaptrap said, trying to justify the short length time. Soon after, Mametchi gets the tablet from him.
"Alright, let me go through some of my videos and see which one is the most awful…" he said, scrolling through his channel. "They're mostly just tutorial videos on certain machines you can make." As he scrolled through his videos, he then caught sight of one he wasn't very familiar with. In fact, it seemed very out of place for his channel, as the thumbnail had a solid color containing Spider-Man and Elsa from Frozen doing some crazy shenanigans. What's even strange is that out of all of the videos he had, which contained maybe a couple hundred views; this one had about 15 million. "Wait…I don't remember uploading this…" says Mametchi, as he tapped on the video to take a closer look.
Spiderman Frozen Elsa DisneyCarToys Toy Channel Monster Ariel and Barbie (Mametchi's channel)
The video immediately started with Mametchi's little sister Chamametchi, holding two action figures of Spider-Man and Elsa. She was just recording herself playing with them in the living room and making impressions of their voices. "Cha…Chamametchi?! My little sister uploaded this?! But how?" he asked in confusion. Unfortunately, nobody knew how.
"Oh…Spider-Man, you are so brave and strong! Let's go on a date!" said Elsa.
"Yesiree! Let's go on a beautiful picnic together!" said Spider-Man, as the camera began to shake. "Huh?! What's going on?!"
"Oh no!" said Elsa, turning to find something horrible. "It's…it's…" Chamametchi then dropped the Elsa doll as she picked up a third doll, which was a toy of Dr. Eggman.
"Yes, my pretty! It is me! DR. EGGMAN! And I'm here to get you!" he said, as he came up to her. But suddenly, Spider-Man went in between the both of them.
"Get your hands off of my Elsa!" he said, as the two began to fight. This leads to Eggman being defeated after about 10 seconds of clashing the toys together, which is really just Chamametchi putting Eggman on the floor as she picks Elsa up again.
"You saved me, Spider-Man!" said Elsa in joy.
"Now how about that picnic?" asked Spider-Man. And the video simply ended there, as Eggman went up to Mametchi.
"I take it that your little sister is a big fan of me?" asked Eggman.
"I-I guess…" he said, as Plankton went up onto Mametchi's head.
"Hey, I got a video! Type in Cooking with Plankton and tap on the first result." he said, as Mametchi did exactly as told. The video then proceeded to load…
Cooking with plankton the ultimate step by step guide (Plankton's channel)
"Hello, my good fellows." said Plankton, wearing a chef hat. Plankton was just on top of a kitchen counter in the Chum Bucket. "Today we'll be making a surprise recipe today, so I won't tell you what I'm making. Anyway, I will start off with the ingredients." Plankton then proceeded to ramble on about the ingredients without even talking about the specifications of each one.
"First we have a….I mean…some tomatoes, I guess. And then we have…uh…let-lettuce or something like that, and eggs, too. Eggs…eggs, yeah. And finally…some bread, yeah." After that, he simply talked extremely fast while he rushed over the directions until the dish was done. "Get all that stuff, put it in the blender and blend for 20 seconds. Then put it in a bowl and heat it in a microwave for a minute. And voila!"
Upon looking at the gross-colored soup-like dish, he looked over the instructions again. "Huh…it was supposed to be a burger…" Plankton then realized that the audience may have overheard him. "Oh, I mean…uh…this is my special burger soup! Let's give it a taste test!"
Plankton then picked up the bowl and spilled all of it onto the ground, but the camera angle made it look like he's actually drinking it all in one go. "Mmm…that was delicious!" he said, rubbing his tummy. After about 5 seconds of silence, he quickly said: "Uh…like, comment and subscribe." as the video cut to the credits part featuring a dancing Plankton put over a spinning video of various types of desserts, while calm elevator music was playing.
"Don't judge my cooking based on that video alone!" he said. "I'm a really great chef! I was just in a hurry, that's all!" Bubblegum then gets the tablet from Mametchi as she began typing in her own channel before scrolling through some of her old videos. Soon, she saw one she was interested in seeing again.
"Oh, hey. I remember this." said Bubblegum, as she tapped on the video.
Beautiful Makeup ft. Marceline (Bubblegum's channel)
We start off with Bubblegum waving at the camera on top of her bed. "Hey, everyone. My name is Bubblegum and we're back with some makeup tutorials! This time, I'm gonna try something very stylish on Marceline." She moves the camera to Marceline, who was just right beside her. "Ready, Marcy?"
"I'm ready with what ya got." said Marcy, as the video now timelapses with Bubblegum putting makeup all over Marceline's face and skin. Although I won't go into exact detail, Bubblegum made it look like Marceline's skin was the same color as her skin. Plus, she also put in certain types of makeup like blush, eyeliner and a bit of powder. Soon, the timelapse was done and Bubblegum then gives Marceline a mirror.
"What do you think, Marcy?"
"…I look like you but with different hair." she said, as the two giggled before Bubblegum goes up to the camera.
"Well, that's it for today, everybody. Hope you enjoyed and subscribe for more beauty videos. Peace!" And as of that, the video ended.
"To think I started off as some pretty damsel…" she thought to herself, as Doof gets the tablet from her.
"Alright, we've got enough time for one more video, so we'd better make this good." said Doof, as Cricket then snatches the tablet from Doof, before he quickly typed his channel in.
"This video is my most popular out of all of them! And probably the most disliked, too…" he said the second sentence in a more depressed tone, as he tapped on the video.
Cricket Reacts To The Tooniverse Emissary Trailer! (Cricket's channel)
The first thing shown in the video was some 3D spinning text over some random pop song; the text saying Cricket Reacts. After the intro, Cricket starts up the video in his lab. "Hello there, everybody! Cricket is here! And today, I'm here to watch this recent trailer for the upcoming Tooniverse Emissary movie! I am so excited to watch this movie, and without any further ado, LET'S BEGIN!" (Author's Note: You want to see the trailer? Check my profile and you'll see it there.)
Through most of the video though, Cricket didn't seem to be reacting at all. He was mostly just staring, occasionally saying a very generic response to something that happened in the video, like: "WOAH!" or "That's amazing!" or "Theory confirmed!" or a simple chuckle. This pretty much went on until the video was over.
"Well, that was such an amazing video! I like the part where…uh…it was such an amazing video, man! Anyway, leave a like, subscribe and possibly buy one of my t-shirts at this site right here!" said Cricket, pointing to an external link in the form of a URL. "Anyway, bye!" And so the video ended right there.
"I think the video pretty much explained why nobody liked it." said Anais.
"Yeah…" said Cricket, sounding a bit sad, before Doof comforted him.
"It's okay, Cricket. Like what Mandark said…everyone makes dumb decisions at some point in their lives. But it's good to learn from those mistakes so that we don't do them again, right fellas?" he asked, as the scientists all nodded their heads. "That's good. Alright, let's all just get back to wo-"
"I SEE A MEMBER OF L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. OUTSIDE!" exclaimed Mametchi, who pointed to a window. Everyone looked to see a member of the opposing organization just outside the window. However, upon being caught, the member began to run away as far as he could back to his location. But not before the scientists all burst through the front door to try and get him.
"GET THAT SCIENTIST!" shouted Doof, as everyone continued to chase after him. Unfortunately, the member was successful in escaping, leaving the scientists out of breath. "Oh, man! He was fast enough to run away from us!"
"What are we gonna do, Doof?" said Plankton.
"Yeah! If L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. is now getting closer to getting inside this place, what do you suppose we do?" asked Utonium.
"I think we're gonna need to find a way to guard the place." said Doof. "C'mon, let's get back to the lab and think up of some ideas for defenses!" he said, as he and the rest of the scientists hurried back into the convention. Meanwhile, we cut to Rodney yelling at the escapee for his failed mission.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU JUST LET YOUR GUARD DOWN AND LEAVE WITHOUT TAKING THE BLUEPRINTS!" he barked at his face.
"I-I'm sorry! There were just too many of them!" he pleaded.
"Really now…" he groaned. "Looks like we'll have to take things to the next level. YOU GO BACK, BUT THIS TIME…BRING MORE PEOPLE INTO THAT SCIENCE CONVENTION! Let's see how they can handle dozens." said Rodney as he began to laugh evilly.
Read and review. :)
