The Masked Villain
Part 6
(As soon as Leslie and Doc's henchmen head back to their lairs, Wordgirl and her companions, Tobey, Eileen, and Victoria Best are preparing for a battle with Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson. At the same time, Capt. Huggyface is now heading to the spaceship hideout, where he was asked to contact the leaders of Lexicon and inform them that there are two felons on Earth who can't seem to be contained in any of Earth's prisons and that it would be best if they were taken to Lexicon's prison moon, Mono.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She and her young companions are sitting on the shoulders of one of Tobey's robots as they scour the city, looking for the adult villains.) Do any of you see anything at the moment?
Victoria: No.
Birthday Girl: Not yet.
Tobey: Nothing.
Birthday Girl: (She looks over at Violet and Scoops.) Are you two sure you want to come with us?
Violet: We've witnessed Wordgirl in battle a lot.
Scoops: This is going to be great footage for the school newspaper.
Birthday Girl: It's just that, Violet, I like to think of you as my best friend and I see how Wordgirl tries to keep everyone safe and all, especially her best friends and family and I want to be just like that.
Violet: Wow, really? When we were kids, all you wanted to do is celebrate your birthday everyday and get everything you wanted.
Birthday Girl: I know. But I don't want to be like that anymore. Ok, not too much. I had friends in my previous town and then I started acting like I did when we were ten and they all decided to not be my friends anymore.
Wordgirl/Becky: Where did you live before coming to Fair City?
Birthday Girl: Turnmantown. It's east of here and like about thirty minutes from town. I got my powers there. (She then goes and tells about her origins.) Look, I'm sorry that I was such a brat when we were younger.
Wordgirl/Becky: Look, it's ok to want to celebrate life everyday but you need to let other people do the same thing and you also shouldn't over do the celebrating and use that as a way to get what you want.
Birthday Girl: Yeah.
(As they head further and further away from town and into the desert, Victoria spots a group of people.)
Victoria: Hey Everyone! I see some people in the distance!
Wordgirl/Becky: (She then goes to hover in the air.) I'll go and see if that's the adult villains, you all stay here and hidden. I signal to you all, as soon as I can. (She then flies ahead of them and heads closer to the people that were spotted in the middle of the desert. When she gets close enough, she hides behind a large rock formation and peers from behind it.) (She then sees Masked Villain, Dr. Andrewson, and the missing adult villains and she uses her super hearing to hear the conversations coming from the two felons.)
(Meanwhile, Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson are discussing their next move.)
Dr. Andrewson: So now what do we do? We have most of the villains.
Masked Villain: Most, but not all. Where are the three youngest villains?
Dr. Andrewson: I don't know. They weren't at the meeting hall, when we abducted the adults.
Granny May: Now, you let us go or I'll…!
Masked Villain: Or you'll do what, Old Woman! I have your weapons and therefore, you have no way of defending yourselves. And for those of you with super powers, I made sure that you couldn't use your powers against me.
Dr. Two-Brains: So what do you plan to do with us?
Masked Villain: I'm not going to do anything to you villains. I'm simply using you all as pawns to get Wordgirl here so I can destroy her. You all will like that. Wouldn't you?
Dr. Two-Brains: No, we wouldn't like that.
Granny May: You lay one harsh hand on that super child…
Masked Villain: Didn't we already have this conversation? I still can't believe that you call yourselves 'villains'.
Butcher: A villain is someone who does evil and unlawful things.
Chuck: And we do evil things.
Masked Villain: Yes, but you haven't killed anyone. A real villain would've at least killed one person in their career as villain.
Ms. Question: Says who? Are you the boss of us? Do you think you have the right to tell us how to be true villains?
Masked Villain: (He casually walks over to Ms. Question.) Yes, I believe I do have the right to tell you how to be a true villain. (He then turns and slaps her across the face.) And, as far as I'm concerned, I am the boss of you.
Timmy Timbo: (He had seen Ms. Question get slapped and goes to help her us and then offers her some comfort.) Hey, don't hurt her!
Masked Villain: Shut up! All of you!
LRW: No wonder Miss Power dumped, walked away from, and left you.
Masked Villain: I said for you all to SHUT IT! And if you don't silence yourselves, then I'm just going to have to silence you all myself. And don't think I won't because if I'm willing to kill villains in other towns, then I'm willing to kill you too.
Dr. Two-Brains: And you're also willing to kill young innocent super heros. That's right, we still remember hearing about how you killed a young boy superhero, who was the same age as Wordgirl.
Masked Villain: If you don't shut your trap, you'll be the first to die, Mouse Freak!
Chuck: I'm getting hot and thirsty.
Masked Villain: Do you really think I'm going to give you some water? If I was going to let Wordgirl starve to death, what makes you think I'll provide you with food or drink. (He then goes into a tent and goes to drink some nice fresh water, right in front of the parched villains.)
Mr. Big: You are the most evil man I've ever laid my eyes on. (He is also thinking of his assistant, who he saw being stuffed into a freezer in the motel where they hold their villain meetings.)
(Wordgirl is still hiding, but doesn't like the way Masked Villain is treating them.)
(She then decides that she can't hide no more and goes to try to rescue them.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm here, Masked Villain. Now let these villains go!
Masked Villain: Ah! Wordgirl, how nice to see you again?
Dr. Two-Brains: Wordgirl, it's a trap!
Wordgirl/Becky: I said for you to let them go. You're fight is with me and not them.
Masked Villain: So, are you willing to die to keep these harden criminals safe? These scourges of your city?
Wordgirl/Becky: Masked Villain, I don't like it when people I care about are being treated harshly by anyone. Villains are people and they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity like everyone. They are not scourges of the city. At least they aren't in my opinion.
Masked Villain: You are such a pathetic super hero.
Wordgirl/Becky: Your harsh words don't do anything to me. Trust me, I've heard harsher words from Miss Power. So, now that I'm here, are you going to let them go home before they die from dehydration and lack of food?
Masked Villain: No, I don't think so. I want to take over and I don't want other villains to get in the way of that.
Wordgirl/Becky: You are the lowest human being I've ever met. (She then zooms over to her villains and takes her own canister of water and lets them each have a swig of water.)
Chuck: Thank you, Wordgirl.
Masked Villain: Now, Dr. Andrewson!
(With that, Dr. Andrewson takes aim with his tranquilizer gun with darts, filled with liquidfied Lexonite, at her.)
Dr. Two-Brains: WORDGIRL! LOOK OUT!
(She then begins to dodge the darts being shot at her.)
Masked Villain: GET HER!
Dr. Andrewson: I'm trying! She's just too fast for me!
(Meanwhile, a few hills over, Tobey, Victoria, Eileen, Violet, and Scoops are still sitting on the shoulder of one of Tobey's robots, waiting for Wordgirl to give them the signal to attack Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson.)
Victoria: Where is Wordgirl?
Tobey: I don't know. Maybe she's having difficulty signaling us.
Violet: Maybe she's in trouble.
Scoops: Maybe we should go and look for her?
(The kids agree and they start heading in the same direction that Wordgirl went and when they come to the same basic area that Wordgirl had come to, they see Masked Villain, Dr. Andrewson, the adult villains, and Wordgirl.)
Victoria: It looks like Wordgirl needs our help. Hold your ears guys. (She then goes to play her recorder and her special tune hypnotizes everyone.) Now that they are hypnotized, I think the adult villains need their weapons. (She signals Violet and Scoops to go and retrieve the weapons from Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson and hands them back to the adult villains.) Good job, you two.
Violet: Thanks.
Scoops: Thanks.
(A few seconds later, everyone who was hypnotized by Victoria's recorder awaken.)
Masked Villain: What happened?
Dr. Andrewson: Where are the weapons that we confiscated?
Chuck: Are you looking for these? (He then aims his condiment shooter at the two felons and he traps them in a mustard cocoon.)
Granny May: And let's see how you like the heat. (She then uses her knitting needles and wraps the two men up in her purple yarn.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Good job you guys. Now we need to place these two somewhere until they are taken to their new prison.
Butcher: How about we make them stay out here in the middle of the desert?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, as much as they deserve that type of treatment, it won't make us better than them.
Butcher: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Tobey: (He then lowers himself to the ground by his robot's hand and he goes to embrace Wordgirl.) You ok, Wordgirl?
Wordgirl/Becky: (They hug and share a small kiss.) Yes, I'm fine. Thanks you all. Including Violet and Scoops. I think I should reward you two with a key to the city.
Violet: Wow, thanks, Wordgirl.
Scoops: Yeah, thanks. Can I get a shot of you all for the school paper? And the article will be titled 'Wordgirl and the City Villains team up to bring down Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson, with the help of Violet Heaslip and Scoops Ming.'. How's that sound?
Violet: (She then puts her arm around Scoops.) I like it, but can you call me 'The Framer'?
Scoops: Well, what do you think?
Wordgirl/Becky: I think this is the work of 'The Framer'.
(Later they all head back to Fair City riding on the shoulder of Tobey's robots, with Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson still snared in the Granny May's knitting yarn.)
Tobey: Are you sure that you're ok, Wordgirl?
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm fine, Tobey. But I've been thinking. Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson used the villains as pawns to try to defeat me. You know what? What if they do that again?
Tobey: You mean use someone to get to you?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes. I know I said that Huggy and I should stay here, but I'm thinking that if we're not here, then Dr. Andrewson and Masked Villain won't be able to endanger the lives of others because they want me destroyed. Tobey, I've made a decision. When the ship that comes to take Dr. Andrewson and Masked Villain away, Huggy and I are going to ask to go with them, back to Lexicon.
Tobey: What? You want to go home? Back to Lexicon? But I love you and I want you here with me.
Wordgirl/Becky: I love you too and I want to be with you, but I think it's for the best. Huggy and I will still live in the spaceship hideout, just not here on Earth.
Dr. Two-Brains: (He had heard Wordgirl tell Tobey that she wants to go home, back to Lexicon and goes to tell the other villains.) Guys, I think Wordgirl wants to go home to Lexicon because she feels responsible for us getting abducted by Masked Villain.
Chuck: Are you suggesting that we talk her into staying?
Dr. Two-Brains: No. If she wants to go home, then she should go home. But that's going to mean that there will be no one here to fight for justice. So, I'm saying that we should make a pact.
Chuck: A what?
Dr. Two-Brains: A pact is a mutual agreement. In other words we should all make an agreement to give up crime.
Mr. Big: I'm not giving up crime. We are villains.
Dr. Two-Brains: We aren't doing this for ourselves, we're doing this for Wordgirl. So, who's with me on this one?
Butcher: I am.
Chuck: So am I.
Granny May: I agree.
(Soon all of the villains agree to make a pact to end their villainy lives and careers.)
(Tobey on the other hand has decided that if Wordgirl leaves that he should go too and devises a plan in order to do so. He will stowaway on her spaceship hideout. But first, he has to leave his mother a note and pack his things, not including his robots.)
(A week or so later, a Lexicon ship lands in the woods, near where the hideout is located and attach a cable to the hideout. Tobey, had snuck into the hideout the night before, after leaving his mother a note.)
(The note said, "Dear Mother, I love you very much but I want to go and live with Wordgirl on Lexicon. I know, it sounds a bit hasty but she's the one who keeps me feeling loved and sane. I hope you don't feel unloved by me. Like I said, I love you very much. I hope you understand. Your loving son, Tobey.")
Wordgirl/Becky: (She decides to say one final good-bye to her friends and family on Earth.) Um, I guess this is good-bye. I don't know if Huggy and I will ever return home. So, I just want to say that I love each and every one of you. Huggy feels the same as well.
Dr. Two-Brains: (He's holding LRW's hand.) Wordgirl, please try to make an effort to return home. We'll miss you and we don't want you to stay away for too long.
Wordgirl/Becky: (She lands in front of him and goes to embrace him.) I'll try to return home but I won't make a guarantee. I hope you and Lady Redundant Woman have a happy life together.
LRW: We will. (She then goes to hug Wordgirl also.) We love you, Sweetie.
Wordgirl/Becky: I love you all too. Where's Tobey?
LRW: We don't know. We haven't seen in a while.
Wordgirl/Becky: He's probably too upset to be here. If you see him, tell him that I love him very much and that I will never forget him.
Dr. Two-Brains: We will.
(She then goes to hug the rest of her villains also, as well as her best friends, including Eileen and Victoria Best.)
Victoria: Wordgirl, you're the best.
Wordgirl/Becky: So are you, Victoria. There's no reason why we both can't be the best.
Birthday Girl: I'll miss you, Becky-Wecky.
Wordgirl/Becky: I hope you have many happy birthdays in the future.
(She then says good-bye to her family and then board the ship.)
(It then hovers a little and then after hovering above the trees, the ship zooms away.)
Chuck: I hope she comes home.
(A little after that, everyone who has come to see Wordgirl and Huggy take off, head home.)
(Two weeks later, the ships land on Lexicon and Wordgirl and Huggy go to check on their hideout, to make sure that nothing inside was damaged.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Everything seems ok. (Then Huggy sees something move from behind the snake slide.) Yeah, I saw that too. Come on out! We see you!
Tobey: (He decides to come out of hiding, but is feeling a bit awkward and nervous.) Hello Wordgirl.
Wordgirl/Becky: Tobey? What are you doing in here?
Tobey: I wanted to come with you.
Wordgirl/Becky: (She smiles at him, but is still concerned.) But, how…?
Tobey: I snuck aboard the night before lift off. I left my mother a note.
Wordgirl/Becky: You know she's going to be very worried about you.
Tobey: I know. I just want to be with you. I can't see myself with someone else. And you keep me feeling loved and sane.
Wordgirl/Becky: (She then goes to hug him.) Huggy and I weren't really going to go back to Earth. Not for a long time that is.
Tobey: I know. Are you mad at me?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, not really. I'm just concerned for your mother. She loves you and she's going to miss you.
Tobey: I know and like I said, I left her a note. I hope she doesn't hate me for this.
Wordgirl/Becky: I know she doesn't. But she's probably sad that you're not there. Well, as long as you're here, you can help us take Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson to jail.
Tobey: Didn't Masked Villain break out of here once?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yes, Miss Power helped him with that. So now he's going to spend his prison sentence on Mono. It's Lexicon's prison moon. Dr. Andrewson is going to stay here in Lexicon's prison. We can't have the two of them together.
(At this point, Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson are being taken away to a holding cell, where they will wait until being transported to their permanent cells.)
Masked Villain: (He and Dr. Andrewson are being taken away by Lexicon authorities.) You can't do this to me! I'm a citizen of Earth!
Dr. Andrewson: Same here! You aliens have no right to treat highly intelligent Earthlings like this! We are the superior beings!
Masked Villain: (He then sees Wordgirl, Huggy, and, to his surprise, Tobey.) You did this to me! I'll get you for this, Wordgirl! I won't rest until your destroyed!
Wordgirl/Becky: You did this to yourself, Masked Villain or Capt. Justice! If you would've left me and my town alone…!
Masked Villain: I'll get out again and then I'm coming for you!
Wordgirl/Becky: Good luck with that. This isn't like the prison on Earth or not even on planet Lexicon. Mono has a far more secure prison system! And, if you do get out, at least most of those I cherish on Earth won't be used by you to get to me!
(With that, Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson are taken to their holding cells.)
Tobey: So, now what happens?
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, Huggy and I were going to live in the hideout, here on Lexicon, but I guess you can live there as well. And someday, we can return to Earth. I just want to make sure that Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson don't cause anymore trouble for anyone.
Tobey: Can I ask? Do your powers work here?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, that's the only drawback for being here. But, I don't really need them here.
Tobey: (As they head back into the hideout, to set up a room for Tobey to sleep.) Are you sure you don't mind me being here?
Wordgirl/Becky: Part of me wants to take you home and part of me loves you being here. And another part of me thinks you are such a great guy that you would leave your mom and Earth to be with me and I find that to be so sweet and loving. I still feel bad for your mom, but I still love that you came here.
(That night, it's Tobey's first night on Lexicon and he and Wordgirl are sitting on a rock, looking up at the stars and the three Lexicon moons.)
Tobey: (He points to one of the moons.) So, Masked Villain is going to that moon?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, the one over here. (Points in another direction.)
Tobey: And Lexicon has no problems with someone our age living alone, without parental guidance?
Wordgirl/Becky: No, and we don't have to worry about money either. Lexiconians don't use money in exchange for goods and services.
Tobey: What do they use?
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't believe they use any type of system of exchange. Everything is free of charge, but you can't over do it. You have a limit to what you can consume and have. You're only allowed to take what you need, if you want more than that, then you have to be charged.
Tobey: I see. That is a good system. What were those red rocks we passed by on the way here? I saw them, through the window on the ceiling.
Wordgirl/Becky: Those red rocks are pure Lexionite. Far more deadly then any of the fragments that crash-landed on Earth.
Tobey: Wordgirl, this is one very beautiful planet.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. Someday, I would like to explore more of it. Would you like to come with me?
Tobey: That sounds ever so awesome. As long as I'm with you, any adventure will be grande.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks Tobey.
(They then lean in and begin to kiss each other.)
Tobey: I love you.
Wordgirl/Becky: I love you too.
(They kiss again.)
(Over the next few weeks, Becky, Tobey, and Huggy begin to explore more of Lexicon and they begin to learn more about it.)
(A year later, Becky, Tobey, and Huggy decide to head back home to Earth, using the hideout as transportation, and they are reunited with their friends and loved ones.)
(And as for Masked Villain and Dr. Andrewson, they are now permanent prisoners on both Lexicon and Mono and they will never again be a threat to Wordgirl or anyone ever again.)
The End…
No more Masked Villain aka Capt. Justice and no more Dr. Andrewson…
