Cucumber was out cold, in his cell, as he was waking up. In his vision, he heard deep baritones of his friends and enemies.
Angelica asked, "Jerry? Jerry? Wake up!"
Mike asked, as he opened his eyes, "How are you doing, bro?"
Cucumber shook his head and moaned, "Ungh… Where am I?"
He was in a black metal cage, with Mike, Lightning, Matt, Ayame, and Angelica inside.
Lightning said, "Dr. Wystico's Laboratory. He's going to make all of us into those citrus monkeys! He's going to use our bodies and fused with those funky orange monkeys, and make us all into living beasts."
Waldo appeared with Akbar and Fudgy, as he said, "Precisely correct, Lightning! Sha-right…"
Cucumber barked, as he held the bars, "You won't get away with this! No one does, since I'm the main hero!"
Miz-K Takase, a man in brown hair and a beard stubble, said, "Oh, and how?"
"Miz-K? How did you-?"
Waldo said, "He was the first guest, before you showed up!"
Cucumber glared at him, as Miz-K said, "What? I wanted to get fruit for my wife."
Waldo barked, "Well, keep dreaming, Takase! Now, I shall succeed! Using the likes of Cucumber, Angelica Pickles, Matt Ishida, and Miz-K Takase, THEY'LL BE NO STOPPING ME!"
He cackled evilly, as he continued, "I shall create a new race of Tanger-men, and build myself an army! And together, I SHALL CONQUER AND TAKE OVER CLEVELAND!"
Mike asked, "Don't you mean The World?"
Waldo stammered, as he corrected, "Yes… THE WORLD! What did I say? Cleveland? Urgh… I always make that mistake…"
The others in the cell did a cuckoo gesture and jeered, "OOOOOOOOH!"
Waldo shouted, "STOP THAT!"
He insisted, "Now… Who wants to go first?"
They all pointed at each other and called out, "He/She does!"
Mr. Sprinkles meowed, as Waldo understood what he said. However, he was rather annoyed by the request. He asked his cat, "Why didn't you do that, before we came here?"
Mr. Sprinkles mewed, as Waldo sighed. He said to his prisoners, "You'll have to excuse me, for the moment. Mr. Sprinkles needs to tinky…"
He and his Tanger-men left the lab, for his cat to do business. Miz-K said, "OOH! I think I know another short story idea… Let's see… Island, with Melonmen inhabited… mad scientist… Hmm… Should I add that to my scrapbook?"
Cucumber charged at the bars, but they could not break. Ayame said, "It's no use, Cucumber. It's molecular titanium."
Cucumber barked, "Well, we can't just sit here! We gotta do something!"
As Cucumber was pondering, Pinky and The Brain were watching on, above the ceiling, with the Slakius Vigorous in hand. Brain was annoyed, "FIENDS! This Dr. Wystico is annoying me… He wants to take over the world, with Tanger-men? It's… preposterous!"
Angelica spoke, as she was upset, "If they made me a Tangy-Man, I don't want to be dressed in a tutu. I hate that… being all furry and orange…"
Pinky gasped, "EGAD, Brain! Miz-K and Jerry are trapped!"
Brain gasped, as he looked, "WHAT?"
He then thought, "Unbelievable. It's like no one wants us to take over the world. Pinky, I have a plan… We are going to stop Dr. Wystico's plan of Tanger-men, thus making the Melonmen the true kings of the fruit beasts. He, who toils with God, shall perish! And they will pay, dearly! No one tries to take over the world, BUT ME!"
Pinky cheered, "HURRAH! YAY, BRAIN! YOU ARE INDEED A GENIUS AMONG GENIUSES! UH, oh, wait, NO… What about Cucumber and Miz-K?"
The Brain said, "Knowing Cucumber, he'll think of something. The guy is as dense and dull as driftwood, but he's crafty. He'll fend for himself. Come, Pinky! We must contact Seina, and go into the rescue mission for us. The others, well… The plane won't be leaving, without a pilot."
Pinky asked, "Um… Captain Malcolm Reynolds?"
Brain huffed, "Sometimes your lack of brain-matter revolts me."
BONK!
He bonked his head.

Meanwhile, Seina was beeped with a distress signal, from The Brain. She sat up, as she left Mayura sleeping with Dakota-zoid, while Setsuna was under the covers, hiding from a sleepy Osaka. She then said in a monotone, "Rescue Mode activated…"
She walked off, heading to the fortress of Dr. Wystico.

Meanwhile, Cucumber was pondering, really hard. "GOTTA THINK! GOTTA THINK!"
He had an idea. He said to Ayame, "Hey, Sohma. You got your cellphone?"
Ayame said, as he pulled out a red phone, "Oh, yes. What is the request? A hairdresser?"
Lightning cheered, "A pizza?"
Matt said, "The coastguard?"
Cucumber dialed the number, as Mike asked, "Who are you calling, kid?"
Cucumber said, "Craig. He's our new production assistant, since I hired him, during Season Five of Miyazawa & May. He's good!"
Miz-K barked, "You hired Joe Nobodies on your team?"
Cucumber huffed, "Well, at least I don't make it dark and moody, like in Onigiri's Origin Story. Plus, I have an idea for a new fic I wanted to try, myself."
Miz-K said, "Why do I even hire you? You've made Miyazawa & May into a crazy madcap all-out story!"
He smiled, "I like it!"
The phone answered, as Cucumber said, "Hello, Craig? It's Jerry. … … …I'll call her back. Look, we're trapped on some island. And there's a key that opens the cell to. I don't know what it looks like, or where it is, but we need it. Find it, and bring it to us. OH! And also, make sure to check everybody's messages, before you go. Bye."
He hung up, as Matt asked, "So, now what?"
Cucumber said, "Now… We wait…"
They waited for five minutes, as a boy in a blue shirt and jeans was walking in, holding a tray of coffee, in paper cups, and with a pack of paper. He called to Cucumber, "Hey, Jerry. Sorry I'm late, but I had to get the key to the cage."
He gave Cucumber the key, as Craig continued, "I also brought some coffee, too, if anyone is interested. Oh. I got a couple of messages for you, Jerry. And Ayame, your publicist called, they're going to accept on your new clothing line in Kyoto."
Ayame smiled, "Good man!"
Craig asked, "Can I go to lunch, now?"
Cucumber said, "Yeah, Craig. We're good. Thanks."
He unlocked the cage, as they were free. Cucumber then said, "Alright, guys. We quietly… calmly… and stealthfully… leave this castle. Okay?"
They nodded, as they crept off, heading to the dark hallway. As they crept off, Pinky & The Brain snuck off to outside, as Seina was in their views.
"YES! Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Brain asked.
Pinky replied, "I think so, Brain, but… uh, canary yellow coffee? It sort of looks like lemonade."
Brain sighed, "No, Pinky… It means that Cucumber will save the day. But luckily, I have an extra plan. We're going to use Seina as an interpreter to the most feared and entertaining beast in the world – the melonmen!"
Seina appeared, as she crashed through the walls, "OH, YEAH!"
She saluted, "Just kidding."
Brain said, "Seina, we need your help. Is this island inhabited by the Melon People?"
Seina beeped, as she scanned, "Yes. In fact, there are 50 Melonmen in the perimeter."
Brain said, "Then, we have not a minute to lose. I shall explain the plan for world domination, from Dr. Wystico, along the way."
The lab mice hopped on her shoulder and Seina giggled, "You're so nice, Master."
Brain smiled, "I'm somewhat unaffectedly pleasant, when it comes to assisting people."
Pinky said, "Oh, flattery will get you nowhere, Brain. Narf!"

Cucumber and the others crept down the dark hallway, as he said, "Guys… if we stay quiet, without making a sound, we'll escape through the front door."
"Shouldn't we try the back door?" Angelica said.
"The front door's closer. These fortresses don't even have second entries…" Mike stated.
Cucumber asked Miz-K, "So, if we ever get caught, what could our next plot be?"
Miz-K thought, as he was thinking, "Hmm… That's a bold predicament, sure. But if his cat finished his business, Dr. Wystico may come back, this way."
Miz-K then said, "That's a bold predicament, sure. But if his cat finished his business, Dr. Wystico may come back, this way."
"Precisely the reply, Miz-K Takase."
Dr. Wystico appeared, as he, Fudgy, and Akbar were in the other side of the hallway. He smirked, "Seriously… You think I'd let you escape? After I said that Mr. Sprinkles needs to tinky, it was a short business."
Miz-K huffed, "Well… Heck."
Dr. Wystico replied, "Oh, no need to be prudish. Anyway…"
He ordered his Tanger-Men, as they went towards them, "SEIZE THEM!"
They ran away, as The Tanger-men chased after them, around the castle.
Meanwhile, Seina traversed all the way to a huge green forest area, as she looked around the area. She then said, "Pinky, Brain, the melonmen are right here. And it appears that they are in very low fatigue."
Brain barked, "Drat that Dr. Wystico! He uses the DNA of these anthropomorphic and vitamin-based creatures, and made them weak as helpless felines!"
Pinky gagged, "EW! There goes a balanced breakfast! Zort!"
Brain said, "Quiet, Pinky! Seina, you may do the honors."
Seina stood in place and did a Melonman call.
"Melonman!"
As she chanted, huge green pudgy and round creatures appeared, with skin textures of watermelons, casabas, honeydews, and grapefruits.
Pinky replied, "Uh, a grapefruit isn't a melon, Brain."
Seina replied, "Affirmative. Must be a new species."
The Melonmen appeared in a group, as Seina spoke in their tongue.
"Melonman." Seina said.
The green Melonman replied, "Melonman?"
Seina replied, "Melonman."
Brain said, in disgust, "She speaks in 1,000 languages, including the philological speech of the creature that says one word, out of a very well-educated dialog. Must be inordinately fashionable to say one word, right, Pinky?"
Pinky smiled, "Indeed, Brain. But what if we meet an apple creature, and it speaks "Cider"?"
Seina replied, "Sir, Pinky, the Melonmen were enraged by the evil doctor that used their DNA, all for tangermen. They also stated that the Tangerine Men are called in the correct paraphrase "Pome-Gents". The Melonmen would be honored to fight the dissociated acts of God, once they get there. These Melonmen are noble creatures."
Pinky giggled, "EGAD, Brain! Brilliant! Uh, oh, wait, no… What if that evil doctor juices you, with his Tanger-men of our friends?"
Brain smiled, as he held up his flower, "Fear not, Pinky. We will subdue the creatures with the Slakius Vigorous. From there, we'll use enough pollen to stop them, as the Melonmen run in and attack; thereby saving our friends, stopping Dr. Wystico, and saving the world!"
Pinky sobbed, "But Brain…"
"Yes, Pinky?"
"What about the plan to take over the world?"
Seina scanned the flower and said, "You're planning to conquer the alternate worlds with the Sneezus Cheesus?"
"WHAT?" Brain asked, "This is not the Slakius Vigorus?"
Seina replied, "No. Those flowers have not grown in the world, since 2009. These flowers have yet to be bloomed, after it was eating by wild Caterpie and Weedle."
Brain smiled, as he stated, "Then, we shall use this flower, the Sneezus Cheesus, to stop the pseudo melons! This flower is known for its continuous sneezing, with enough sneeze extract to stop a gorilla!"
Pinky added, "OR a melon-shaped ape! NARF!"
Seina grabbed the lab mice, as she said, "Okay. Let us go. But, if we succeed, name your price for our trip to Prison Island…"
Brain smirked, "Well, naturally…"
XXXXX
Cucumber and his friends, meanwhile, were running down the corridor, as the Tangermen chased after them. Dr. Wystico laughed, as Fudgy and Akbar led the evil Pome-Gent Clones. Cucumber stopped by the front door and yelled, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!"
They all stopped, as Cucumber barked at everyone, "What are we doing? Why are we running? We're not chicken! I mean, look at us! I'm a superhero and a director! Angelica, you're a crafty evil girl! Lightning, you were a finalist in Total Drama Revenge of the Island! Matt, you're a brave rock star and a Digidestined! Ayame, you're a fashionista! Miz-K, you're known to make over 1,000 ideas in one sitting, and made over 100 fan fics! Are we going to let some evil tangerine based apes get us?"
They cheered, "NO!"
Cucumber roared, "THEN LET'S FIGHT!"
They cheered, as the three Tanger-Men appeared, roaring at the huge group. Cucumber and his friends prepare to fight, but…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" They shrieked, and then crashed through the fortress door.
They ran away, as the Tanger-Men were in hot pursuit. Green Melonmen appeared, as they blocked their way. Mike cried, "Melonmen!"
Cucumber griped, "OH, NO! MORE OF THEM!"
A Melonman winked, "Melonman!"
The Tanger-Men stopped, seeing the Melonmen, as they exchanged words, speaking in Melonese.
Melonese is the Melonmen's language
As they exchanged words, Seina held the flower up, from above the tree, and called out, "Mister Cucumber! EVERYONE! MAKE A RUN FOR IT!"
Cucumber cried, "Seina!"
Brain called, "Now, Pinky!"
Pinky shook Seina's wrist, as the pollen of the Sneezus Cheesus flowed down towards the tangerine men. Cucumber and the others ran off, as Seina stopped. She saw the Tanger-Men sneezing uncontrollably, as the Melonmen sneezed, as well. Seina flew off, as Pinky and The Brain were holding on. The others arrived back at the plane, as Mayura was looking for Seina, while Osaka continued to chase and pester Setsuna.
"AAAH! OH, LEAVE ME ALONE! HELP! HELLLLLLP!" Setsuna shrieked, as Osaka chased her.
Cucumber cried out, "MAYURA! THE PLANE!"
Dakota-Zoid called, "PLANE FIXED!"
She opened the door, as everyone got in. Cucumber called, as the villains went in first, "Alright, everybody! RUN, RUN, RUN! GO!"
He and Mike stepped inside, followed by Mayura, then Setsuna, with Osaka chasing her, and Seina, with the lab mice in tow. The door shut, as the plane began to start-up, about to liftoff. However, as Cucumber, Mike, and Mayura appeared in the cockpit, Cucumber sat down on the pilot's seat and prepared to move. The plane, however, did not move, at all.
"Oh, man! This is bad." Cucumber said, "The plane has heavy loads! We can't risk losing a prisoner in here!"
Mike said, "OH, no? Tell that to the men on the wing."
Mayura stepped out and looked at the passengers, who were screaming for their lives. Two Tanger-Men, Akbar and Fudgy, were grabbed and holding onto the right wing of the plane.
Mayura shouted, "GUYS! The huge hairy apes! They're on the plane!"
Eustace Bagg screamed, as he ran inside the plane, sitting next to Angelica. Angelica screamed, as Fudgy the Pome-Gent placed his face on the window. Angelica shrieked in horror, and then puked in a small paper bag. The Melonmen, outside, appeared, and fought off the huge Pome-Gents. The Tanger-Men and Melonmen began brawling, as Cucumber said, "Good! We're good to go! I'd like to know how the melonmen saved the day!"
Miz-K Takase said, "Don't look at me. It's your fanfic. Besides, you brought the runway, over there."
He pointed an airplane runway, outside, on the island, as Jerry replied, "Wait! I didn't write in a runway!"
Mayura asked, "That reminds me, I got a call from some guy named Craig."
Cucumber and Miz-K smiled, "ALRIGHT, CRAIG!"
The plane flew off, with Fudgy on the back of the plane. Cucumber then growled, "Aw, nut bunnies!"
Miz-K said, "Mind if I take the wheel?"
He sat in Mike's side and said, "Fasten your seatbelts and hang on to your butts!"
Miz-K turned the wheel, as the plane began to spin out of control, in a huge 360 degree spin, clockwise. Fudgy tried to hang on, as everyone was screaming, with their seatbelts fastened.
Lightning shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Prussia cried, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Angelica and Eustace shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Setsuna, still traumatized, shrieked in horror, "SOMEONE STOP THIS THING!"
Seina held on, as the lab mice screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The plane stopped spinning, as Fudgy fell from 100 feet, down to the island, landing on his fellow Pome-Gents and Melonmen.
"That was quite a jolt, Cuke!" Seina called.
Mayura shouted, "That's MY line!"
The plane flew off, as Cucumber sighed, "Thank god. It's finally over."
The Pome-Gents raised their fists in anger to the plane, as the Melonmen retreated to the fortress of Waldo Wystico. He viewed the action, as the Melonmen charged to the castle, in a huge melon-based stampede.
"AAGH! CURSE YOU, CUCUMBER! CURSE IT ALL!" Weird Wally yelled, as the Melonmen crashed through the castle, while Waldo tried to run away, in his helicopter. He flew away, as he sneered, "That blasted little writer! He thinks he can use improvisation, in order to defeat me? Well, he has another thi-!"
SMASH!
A huge watermelon smashed at the propeller, sending him and his cat to the ocean.
SPLASH!
The helicopter crashed into the ocean, as Waldo and Mr. Sprinkles swam to shore. Waldo arrived safely, as the Melon people smirked evilly. He pleaded, as he was nervous, "Uh… He, he, he, he, he… Can we not talk about this, like civilized beings?"
The red melonman called out, "Melonman!"
They charged at the mad doctor, as they punched at him, beating him up.
Meanwhile, on the plane, Miz-K asked Cucumber, "Uh… How come we didn't stop Dr. Wystico?"
Cucumber said, "Oh, I have ways. Besides, I don't think we'll ever see him, again."
At the island, the Melonmen have the evil Waldo tied up in a huge wooden pole, as they were about to sacrifice him. He was tied up tightly, as the Melonmen and the Pome-Gents chuck small green melons at him. He pleaded to his creations that he is their master. But they ignored him. He cried out, "OW! This is the LAST TIME-! OW! I ever made-! AH! OW! Vitamin C creatures! I'm making beef and fowl monsters, from now on-! OW! OUCH! OWWWWW! OH, THE PAIN, AND THE UNCONTROLLABLE SPLURGE OF POTASSIUM!"
They continued, as Waldo was screaming for his life, being chucked by the melon creatures.
Hours later, on the plane, everyone on board was all fast asleep, including Cucumber and Mike, who were sleeping in the front seat.; everyone, except for Setsuna, who was still trembling from Osaka's evil presence. Miz-K was sound asleep, as he slept with Mayura and Seina, while Angelica was sleeping with Eustace, who was mumbling in his sleep.
Mike woke up and asked his brother, "Uh, bro…"
He woke up, as Mike asked, "Hey, bro. If everyone's asleep, then who's flying the plane?"
Cucumber replied, with a smile, "Don't worry about it. Seina took care of it."
XXXXX
And took care of it, indeed. In the cockpit, Pinky and the Brain were controlling the plane, heading to Prison Island, sitting on huge phone books, using tiny controls, to make sure that they control the plane. The Brain, in relief and dismay, said to his dimwitted mouse friend, "Well, Pinky, once we reach Prison Island, we'll ask Seina to find any source of seeds or petals of the Slakius Vigorus, in order to recreate flowers of that kind. And once we do, we shall begin the photosynthesis hypothesis, by growing NEW flowers, to assure the flower's natural life and beauty. And after that, once we return home, we shall head back to Setsuna's house, and prepare for tomorrow night."
Pinky asked, "Why, Brain? What are we gonna do, tomorrow night? Try to take over the world?"
Brain replied, "No, Pinky. Miz-K promises me to fly him and his wife, Aya Hasebe, to Tahiti, for their summer vacation trip. But after that, we shall. And when I say shall, we shall TRY TO TAKE OVER THE ALTERNATE WORLDS!"
The plane flew off into the sunset, as Cucumber and his friends escaped the Island of Dr. Wystico, and his evil Pome-Gents, created by human DNA and melonman DNA. Eventually, he dropped off Miz-K, his friends, and the villains, and returned home… for another adventure.
As for Dr. Wystico…
Waldo was covered in a mulched up pile of melons, as he moaned, licking the pile, "You know… Mmm… This is not bad. Maybe I'll make a delicate fruit salad, once I am free from this wasteland of an island, full of huge melons…
On the plus side, the flora and fauna are rather tasty… You can taste the waterme-."
PTOO!
He spit out a black seed and moaned, "UGH! SEEDS? THEY HAVE WATERMELON SEEDS? AGH! I almost swallowed it. Ew…"
Thanks for reading!
