Chapter 5: Becoming Evil Again

Back in Chris' secret lair, Myrna used her spell to make Evil Bert go back to being evil. He was trying to resist her, but it was not working, as his eyes began to glow a bright red. Chris, sitting on his throne, asked, "So, is he evil yet?"

"He's almost there," replied Myrna. "But he's still resisting. I guess my spells aren't very effective as they were before."

Evil Bert's eyes became their normal color again. He shouted, "I won't be evil! And I don't want to join your stinking crew!"

"I got a better solution," said Chris. "Belladonna, show Evil Bert your whistle, since you set it on 'raccoon'."

Belladonna nodded and produced her favorite weapon--the evil whistle, which was set on 'raccoon'. She said to Myrna, "Cover your ears--this will affect you, too."

Myrna covered her ears and Belladonna began to blow the whistle. Evil Bert's eyes began to glow green, as he started to fall into her spell. By the time the haunting tune was finished, he was completely under her control.

Evil Bert said, "I am in your control. I am under your command. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it, as long as I am under your spell."

Belladonna laughed. She said, "Myrna, you can control him now, since I set it to yours, Chris' and my commands, too."

"Good," said Myrna. She turned to Evil Bert and said, "Now, Evil Bert, I've got big plans for you. Listen up--I want you to go and build a giant robot to surprise my good-for-nothing nephew in the nation's capital--and we'll get to operate it. Here's a diagram to help you." She gave him a piece of paper, which showed a picture of Bert Raccoon in his usual red-and-yellow sweater with a yellow "B" in the front. Myrna continued, "You'll need lots of metal from a junkyard, and you'll need some paint, too--red, brown, yellow, grey, and black. The work on the machine will take about nine months, but once it's finished, you will stockpile it with missiles and with that it will be the most excellent weapon in the history of all that is evil! I can't wait to see the look on Bert's face when he gets a load of this. Oh, and don't forget to go after Bentley."

"Yes, Your Majesty," answered Evil Bert, and went on his way. Myrna laughed triumphantly, and shouted, "At last, my revenge will one day be complete!"

CUE SONG: "My Revenge (Reprise)"

My revenge, my revenge,
At last I'll finally get revenge,
A robot will be built today
And with lots of weapons, too

My revenge, my revenge,
I'll cause my nephew's heart to cringe,
Watch out, dumb old Time Toon Cops,
I'm coming after you!

Myrna's wicked laughter echoed all across Neo-Detroit. Nobody was around to hear about Myrna's latest plan...except for a certain little blue skunk, who happened to peek through the back door of the lair. That girl was Petunia, of the Happy Tree Friends. She gasped in horror, and ran off to tell her friends about it.

"She's going to build a robot to kill the president?" asked Cuddles (the yellow rabbit).

"That's right," replied Petunia breathlessly. "And the worst news is that...Evil Bert had been taken from the Happy Valley Ex-Villains Home in Jacksonville...and he was brought here to be turned into a bad guy!"

Giggles (a pink chipmunk) said, "So...should we tell Lumpy to call the TTC?"

"No, he's on vacation--besides, he's just too dumb to make that call. We'll just have to alert them in person...wherever they are."

And so, Petunia, Giggles, Cuddles, Flaky, Sniffles, Toothy, and the others ran off to warn the TTC of Myrna's newest evil plan.
