Transmission re-established...

Back at the beach, Joe Balooka is serving soda from a push cart. "Man, I can't believe I got roped into doing this." he muttered as he handed out the last bottle. Due to the special ingredients added in however, the crowd of heat beaters were eager for more. "Alright everyone, listen up! If any of yous want more soda, you're gonna havta' head into that Sand Castle over there and work for it!" he yelled into a bullhorn. The ex-hall monitor proceeded to be trampled by the charging hoard of soda crazed beach goers.

Joe lay crumpled on the ground covered in foot prints, wondering how today could get any worse when an ominous shadow appeared over him. "Oh what is it..." he complained, only to choke up when he saw the newcomers face. "You're that kid from the soda plant! Did you uh... do something with your hair?"

"You and me are going for a ride, Joe." Harvey snarled while grabbing the ex-cop by the collar.

Back in the castle, a huge crowd of people are huddled together in a large, majestic chamber. The massive double doors behind them slammed shut, and chorus of trumpets (played by The Knights of the Round Towel) sounded, and King Sandy appeared on a balcony overlooking the huddled mass.

"Attention peons!" he began. "It has come to your kings attention that a new brand of soda is sweeping the beach, and you all want more." The response was deafening. "Well, it may interest you greatly to know that I posses a large supply of the beverage in demand, and am willing to share it with you if you are willing to work for it. The Knights will escort you to the lower chambers, where you will begin digging a large pool. You will be rewarded every four hours." Sandy then pulled a can of the tainted soda from behind him. "Here's one on the house." he finished before tossing it into the crowd. The ravenous hoard began biting and clawing at each other to get it as Sandy walked away.

After several minutes, he arrived in the laboratory of his queen, Mushi Sanban. "Did everything go okey dokey?" The scientist/queen asked while looking up from an experiment. In addition to her normal purple sweater, Mushi was also wearing a white lab apron and protective goggles.

"The Hypno-Tie extract you added into the soda worked perfectly! The peons are hard are work building the pool as we speak!" Sandy replied. The two then warmly embraced. "Just think: pretty soon we'll be out of this world, and you'll regin as Queen of every beach on an entire planet!" The two continued to hug as their faces lite up, in a dark lab surrounded by abominations of science.

Back outside, Harvey and Joe are riding in the backseat of a quarter length school bus (which Harvey had forced Joe to call up). Harvey's G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. is jammed into Joe's ribs. "You known, I've been thinking lately," Harvey began "I never was really all that into the KND. You know, the whole "protect kids everywhere" thing. I didn't do it to protect kids, I did it because I loved the thrill, the rush of kicking adult butt and showing up everyone around me!"

"That's... very forcoming Ha.. I mean boss." Joe replied fearfully, "but why you telling me?"

"I'M GETTING THERE!" Harvey exploded. "Like I was saying, I hid my love of adventure, of battle, beneath a mask of goodwill. The fringe benefits of KND membership didn't hurt either. But now that mask has been melted away, literally and figuratively. Before I go any further, you got change for a dollar?" he stopped while pulling $1 from his pocket. Joe just nodded and gave him four quarters for the bill. Harvey but away all but one of them. "So here's how it works: every two days, I flip this coin. Heads up, I attack, steal from, and vandalize the property of an adult villain. Tails up, I target the KND or another kid organization. But, I'm gonna need accomplices." Harvey finished before flipping the coin for the first, but certainly not last, time. It came up heads.

"You're a lucky kid Joe." Harvey replied while pulling the G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. away. He flipped it once more. This time, it was tails. "But your driver's not." he fired once at the driver, knocking them out and causing the bus to spin out of control. Harvey kicked the rear exit opened, grabbed Joe and jumped, while the bus crashed and burned ahead of them.

Back at the Doom-based Hall's meeting room, the team from the museum had just returned, and Mushi was reporting back via hologram. "We were able to steal plenty of data out of their historical files, but I think Kyle needs medical attention." President Jimmy reported, while motioning to the bleeding wizard limping behind him.

"My bones are in places they're not supposed to be." Kyle moaned.

"Well, all the soda crazed beach goers are now hard at work building the pool, but Heinreich got taken away by the KND." Mushi reported with a sour expression.

"HA! I knew that little baby and her retarded make belive king would screw things up!" Cartman replied in a harsh tone.

"TALK ABOUT MY SANDY LIKE THAT ONE MORE TIME AND I'LL CARVE OUT YOUR EYES WITH A DULL CRAYON! AND IT WON'T BE A PRETTY COLOR CRAYON EITHER!" Mushi exploded in response, raging infernos coming to life in her eyes.

"Mushi, don't worry about Heinreich. We'll secure his release. Just guard the pool for now." Negative Numbah 4 replied.

Mushi temperament immediately became bright and sunny again. "Right-a-roony!" The transmission was ended right after.

"Man, she's almost as crazy as me." Evil Jimmy muttered.

"The matter still remains that one of our comrades is in the hands of the enemy, and I feel Heinreich will confess if given the proper... motivation." Bling Bling Boy spoke up.

"Not to worry. I've been monitoring a specialist who we may wish to consider contacting for membership." Mandark replied while pressing a button near his chair. "His alignment is in question, but his skills are obvious." Various screens around the room lite up, and displayed a young Latino boy wearing a black jumpsuit and belt battle a variety of enemies with extreme agility and razor sharp claws. "His name is El Tigre."

An undetermined amount of time later in an unreleased location, a gaggle of kids are gathered around a collection of tables. Some drink soda, but the main attractions are the Yipper tables. Spectators and players alike gamble prize candies, treasured possessions, and even hard money on the outcome of the card games. Near the soda bar is a reinforced cage from within which math nerds offer odds and wagers, as well as exchange all forms of currency for defeated gamblers possessions.

The door is suddenly kicked open, and a hail of gumballs blasts every glass of soda at the bar. Through the door steps Harvey "Two Face" McKenzie. In addition to the scaring of his face, his helmet has also been dented and bashed on the left side, and part of the circle displaying his numbah has been scratched out. His clothing is also different, as he's replaced his typical brown sweater for one styled after his sister's. But instead of Tiger Stripes, his alternates between black and white. He also had a G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. in each hand.

With him are five underlings. Two are dressed in all white, while another two are dressed in all black. The fifth henchmen in Joe Balooka, whose only costume change consists of a half-black, half-white tie.

"Turn out your pockets and get on the ground, THIS IS A ROBBERY!" he yelled, and everyone complied at the sight of the scared boy. His henchmen spread out, grabbing everything of value from everyone. Everything was going smoothly, until Harvey tried removing a particularly rare Yipper card from and down on his luck player's hand.

"Hey man, you can't take this card! It's on loan from my older brother, and I'll be in wedgie city if I loose it!" A tug of war began over the card, but then the player made a horrible mistake and brushed up against Harvey's hand.

"Don't. Touch. ME!" he yelled, and with a surge of rage fueled strength tossed the poor kid across the room and into the wall. Then, once he was laying upside down against the wall, Harvey fired a stream of gumballs at his face, knocking out every tooth in his mouth.

Not bothering to pick the card back up (it had been ripped in half) Harvey and his gang left the building. But suddenly, Harvey leaned through the door (only his scared half went through the frame), sarcastically said "this should cover the damages," and flipped a quarter towards a table before stepping back out.

It landed tails up.


A/N: Two chapters in just as many days. I'm really rolling on this one!

And now you understand why I hate Harvey so much. I've always seen him as a glory hog, playing up his relation to the Soopreme Leader to not get booted out. One horrible scaring later, and he's fun to write. Life's weird like that.

Yes, I do plan on adding El Tigre next chapter, but to stay fitting with his tendency to flip-flop between good and evil each episode, he won't stay on the villain's side forever. (Or will he...?)
