Chapter 11: Round 2

Then the robots began to fight again. The Dark Dragon Gundam robot and Robo-Bert blasted laser rays at Robo-Bentley and the Dark Gundam robot, but Charles countered it with a force shield to block the attack. Flame began to taunt Blaze, saying, "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!! I see you broke up with Charles, but I haven't broken up with Chris yet, because he had three wives and you have only one husband! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"That's right," added Buns. "And Chris is a genius."

Chris said, "See, Charles? The reason why I have three wives is because you only have one, and that you are perfective, since you haven't done it to Blaze back in 2013 when you got frozen! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" He was trying to get Charles caught off-guard.

"Oh, yeah?" said Cyrus. "Then...then...you're a sissy and you have a big head!"

Hearing Cyrus' insult, Chris muttered to himself, "I'm gonna kill that cat, once I get this battle over with..." He was about to punch at Robo-Bentley's left arm (controlled by Cyrus and Cuddles), but the right arm (controlled by PowerPaws and Giggles) halted his attack. PowerPaws said, "Quick, Giggles! The judo button!"

Giggles pressed a blue button and Robo-Bentley grabbed the Dark Dragon Gundam robot by the arm and flung it right over it, stunning the robot. The Mixer and the pink chipmunk cheered happily, giving each other a high five. Then, Robo-Bert came up and rammed into Robo-Bentley's side, startling the TTC. Alex II shouted, "This battle's starting to get harder and harder, team. We need a power-up!"

"No power-ups here," said Xochitl. She and Disco Bear operated the tail.

"What do you mean?"

"When DB and I tried to press the button to swing the tail at Chris' robot, the self-defense system malfunctioned."

"Then what's the cause?"

Silence reigned. Alex II asked again, "Xochitl, answer me--what was the cause of the malfunction?"

No reply came from Xochitl, except for some sobbing. Then, after a while, she said sadly, "...he's dead! And the blood's all over the place!"

The TTC gasped in shock. Bert Jr. said, "It must've been the impact of the laser ray that struck the tail before it was able to hit the Dark Dragon Gundam robot. And all that jolting must've hit Disco Bear in the head, killing him instantly."

"All right," said Bert. "Who shot the tail?"

Myrna laughed evilly, "It was me, you fools! SURRENDER OR DIE!"

Robo-Bert opened its mouth and a huge ball of electricity began to grow, until it was the size of a large beach ball or anything larger than that. It was about to launch it at Robo-Bentley and the TTC--with just one hit, the cops would be evaporated. Just then, a bright shining light gleamed out of nowhere, blinding Belladonna and Chris. Myrna, too, was blinded, until she heard a deep male voice that she recognized: "Myrna!"

She looked up and saw a middle-aged male raccoon floating in the air. His fur was grey (with tinges of white), and he had bent ears and a bent nose (just like Bert!), dark-brown eyes, and he was wearing a light brown leather coat and a set of black pants. Myrna muttered, "Robert...is that you?"

"Of course, it's me," answered the raccoon. "Only a foolish and murderous sister-in-law like you would know that! Why are you trying to hurt my son?"

Bert peered through the glass window (which served as Robo-Bentley's "eyes") and gasped in shock. Blaze asked, "Who was it, Bert?"

"It's my father, Robert Raccoon," replied Bert. "He was the one who saved my life. When Aunt Myrna was abusing me, he came to the rescue by calling the cops--I was safe, because of him."

"Wait a minute," said PowerPaws. "We remember you telling us that your mother died when you were just a boy. When did your dad kick the bucket?"

"He died after I had graduated from college. When he got to Heaven, Annabelle made a promise that when he and my mom find each other, she would bring them back to life...and that she will make them live forever. They grew up together...I could show you a photo of Mom and Dad when they were babies. He loved Mom very much--when she was killed in the fire that consumed our house, he cried for hours on end. He never forgave Myrna for what she did to me, and he vowed that he never will, so long as she burns in the flames of Hell. But now that she's back and coming at me again, this could be his one chance to get his life back to the way it was before the house fire ruined it all."

"But where's your mom?"

"I don't know, probably looking after the women of the island..."

Just then, Alexandra materialized before the team. She said happily, "Oh, son, I have wonderful news! Minora had just given birth to a beautiful little girl!"

"What?" said Bert, almost startled.

"A girl, Bert. And she looks just like you!" Turning to Snooper, she continued, "And Snooper, your wife had a sweet little boy. So...did I miss anything else?"

"Oh, yes, Mom," said Bert, pointing to Robert in the distance. "Dad's back."

Alexandra looked up and gasped. There was her husband, scolding Myrna. She whispered, "Oh...Robert." And with that, she disappeared out of sight and reappeared outside. Robert noticed her and said, "Alexandra! You're here!"

The couple began to share a tender hug, as the teams looked on. Myrna was growing impatient at the time. She shouted, "Well, what are you waiting for? MAKE YOUR LAST MOVE BEFORE I SHRED YOU TO BITS!"

"Not until you make yours, sister," Alexandra retorted, before snapping her fingers three times and chanting:

Evildoers, change your ways
And end your master's wicked days!

A bright yellow aura covered Robo-Bert all over, then faded away again. In an instant, Cyril Sneer was heard saying, "What in blazes is going on in...what am I doing here?"

"I don't know," said Big Cheese. "But something is telling us that we've been hypnotized by the mean old lady and the demon dog. I don't even remember who they are."

Montana Max said, "Let's blow this joint--I wanna get back to my money..."

The door opened in Robo-Bert's left foot and all the newly reformed villains exited out of the robot. Myrna gasped and tried to coax them back to her side. She shouted, "N-no! Wait! Please, come back to me! Why are you going away?"

Evil Bert was the last one to get out. When he saw Myrna breaking down and crying, he said, "I told you I wasn't going to join your team. Let's face it--my days of doing evil are over. Now, could you do me a favor and take me back to my friends at the Happy Valley Ex-Villains Home?"

Myrna did not reply. By this time, she stopped sobbing and looked up at Robo-Bentley. Then, she posed the most evil smile the TTC had ever seen. Bert asked, "What's up with her? Hasn't she given up yet?"

"Unfortunately, not at the moment," replied Alexandra.

She slowly got up and stood there, still grinning. She began to laugh. She said, "So, you think I'm going to lose because I've lost most of my team? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet! As of right now, I'm going to bring out the most effective weapon that I will use in Round 3--you'll never be able to guess what it is..."

"Then, what is it?" asked Alexandra. "I hope it's something that won't cause us any harm."

"Sorry, Alexandra, but that's not what I meant. It's something that will not only cause you much harm, but the whole universe as well. Say hello to my secret weapon...me!"

Just then, Bentley came by. He said, "Hey, guys! What's going on?"

"Bentley?" said Vanessa. "What are you doing here? I thought we told you to stay in the--"

"Ness, please," replied Bentley. "Being pregnant just doesn't mean that I'm going to stay cooped up in the Safe Zone forever. Besides, I just wanted to help."

"And so you will!" shouted Myrna, grabbing Bentley by the arm. She waved her paw and a dark aura covered her entire body. Robo-Bert exploded into a billion pieces, and so did Chris' robot (fortunately, his wives and daughters had managed to escape in time). It was then that the TTC realized that the battle was not going to be over yet, because Myrna was turning into a massive...evil...dark...fire-breathing dragon!

"And now, you no-good Time Toon Cops," she declared. "GET READY FOR ROUND 3!!!"

Bentley, trapped in her grasp, started to squirm and grimace. Minora and Creampuff had their babies, and now it was his turn, for the contractions were starting to get more and more painful. But how is he going to give birth while around him the battle raged?

"Get ready, team," said Alex II. "If Myrna wants to start Round 3, so be it. But it's going to be her last one before we send her back to where she belongs!"

Evil Bert entered Robo-Bentley and joined the TTC in the last and final raging battle taking place right away.
