CHAPTER 21: Leaf Me Alone. Part 1
Mary Sue: "So... how did I create you, Leafy?"
Ship Down Taker: "I know that's my official name but please don't call me that... call me the Ship Down Taker, or SDT for short"
Mary: "hmmm... how about I call you STD?"
SDT: "why? That isn't even the right order for the initials"
Mary: "look! If you let me call you STD, I'll let you call me mom"
STD: "DEAL!" –his eyes glare with happiness- "YAY! ..Anyway; 50 years ago, the unthinkable happened... a human managed to defeat a magic Orb Keeper"
Mary: "...oh! ..really?"
STD: "Yes mommy; that human didn't only destabilized the Orb keeper's physical form but then she proceeded to destroy the Orb... That caused all that badge's magic to randomly reconfigure, but since the White Crocodile has left all his magic on another planet... a planet that's still unknown to everyone; he only took 4 magic guards with him when he went to earth ...they became me, and the magic conforming the White Crocodile, became my brother Electro-ball"
Mary: "...yeah ...I heard you two stopped the Red Alien invasion on earth"
STD: "it came at a cost, though... With the orb gone, magic beings are done for once they lose their final, randomly given physical form. Right now, I'm just as mortal as you are"
Mary: "darn"
STD: "we can elect a new Orb keeper to prevent any more magic being lost forever from this batch... a pink Orb keeper. I don't know why the magic became pink after the orb's destruction, but I knew about the new orb keeper's election... Electro-ball and I knew it by instinct... but we couldn't know the rest of the batch's location, and the whole batch needs to be together for the election to be possible. If we could have done that, there would be an equal match against the White Bird; and organic life wouldn't have to fight such monster against all the odds and with such crippling disadvantages ...and also... Electro-ball wouldn't have had to..."
Mary: "I'm guessing that's the cost to stopping the invasion you were talking about, the price you had to pay"
STD: "yes mom... Electro-ball sacrificed himself for earth. We were fighting Reds, Protistos and Wolves; they were no match for us and we could be taking them out all day, but the humans on earth couldn't have said the same... The harder we punishes the invaders, the harder they punished the humans; and we couldn't be everywhere at the same time to save them. The number of Protistos and Reds on earth was very limited, so the real threat to humanity was the wolves coming out of the ocean from all the laboratories the Reds had installed to create them"
Mary: "yikes" –eating some popcorn-
STD: "Electro-ball had the idea to dive into the ocean so he could electrify them all to death because they caused more harm... it was a wolf genocide; but he also overcharged himself, exploded and died..."
Tommy-Gun: "nice story, Mark"
Mary: "Hey, you seem to have one of those Tommy Wiseau guns here"
STD: "Yes, let me throw it out very far" –gets up to do just that-
Mary: -stays there eating popcorn-
STD: "alright mom, I'm back. Where was I?"
Mary: "your brother sacrificed himself to kill a shit ton of wolves. Not cool though; I kind of like wolves" –keeps stuffing her fat face with popcorn-
STD: "we'd be massively overpopulated by wolves right now if that hadn't happened ...they just can't stop yiffing"
Mary: "I guess you're right ...sad thing what happen to your brother... my son. Wait a minute! ...how many children do I have if we take into consideration your whole batch?"
STD: "Probably thousands... and yeah, he was a real hero; I'm very glad nowadays electricity is a symbol of compassion and mercy ...what a great way to remember him"
Mary: "hey, let's cut the bullshit; you call me mom because you found out that I was the one who defeated White Crocodile, didn't you?"
STD: "yes mommy"
Mary: "...that makes me extremely indirectly involved in your creation, do you know that? It is a huge leap to..." –sighs- "whatever, come to me sweetie" –opens her arms to him-
STD: -hugs Mary Sue tightly-
