The following chapter is somewhat corny. Oh well.

Chapter 12- Hero After All

Alvin's fleet of robots and Alvin chased Larryboy once again.

Larryboy ran to the streets, dodging lasers and jumping over piles of rubble. Eventually Larryboy made it up to a building. At the top he seemed safe. Then the robots flew after him. What was worse was that the building started to crumble!

Larryboy panicked and jumped to the next building. When that one crumbled, he jumped to the next. And the next. And the next.

All throughout this, Larryboy could hear the people scream in terror.

Suddenly Larryboy came to a stop at one building. He looked behind him. The army was right behind him, lasers charged up.

"Give it up, Larryboy," sneered Alvin, "You can't defeat me. You never will. You will be a failure for the next seven years and the rest of your life!"

"You don't know that," answered Larryboy, even though he knew that wasn't a good answer.

"What? Don't you see! I'm the villain who won. And besides, it's true. Don't you know how you lost? Besides Lampy's bright light in your eyes, you were the one who let me capture you!" yelled Alvin.

"What?"

"After a long day of defeat, you actually fell under my pressure! Thus showing my power! You literally fell to the ground in front of me! Maybe not everyone knows that's what happened, but let everyone know you suck! You failed because I won!" laughed Alvin. This memory was actually very funny to him.

"So you think I lose because of me falling under pressure?" asked Larryboy.

"Yes, that's it!" smiled Alvin is satisfaction. "Everyone should agree. They suffer because of you. And me. They suffer because of me and you. A team. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you helped me take over. Good team, partner in crime! You and me, peas in a pod, a pair of socks, the peanut butter to my jelly, the shovel to my sand, the foot to my kidney," said Alvin getting ahead of himself.

"What am I saying?" continued Alvin, "I hate you. So I wouldn't say you are my partner. But anyway, the people suffer. And your friend, the asparagus guy!"

"What about him?" asked Larryboy worriedly.

"That trader!" said Alvin, shaking a fist," Arthur, Arnold, whatever. You know what I did?"

"I'll tell you," said Alvin without letting Larryboy answer," He is probably resting in peace. I don't know why its sounds so peaceful since he was chased by your future evil self to his death."

Larryboy was shocked. Archibald was dead! Or at least seven years later. Even though the past Archibald was still alive somewhere, it still hurt to see him die in the future.

Larryboy knew it was his fault. Everything he saw. The destruction, the pain, the suffering, the death of his closest friend-it mostly his fault. None of it would have happened if Larryboy stopped Alvin. He only failed because of giving up under Alvin's pressure...

Larryboy realised something.

"Your victory won't last long, Alvin! It's going to take more than a bright light and your pressure to take me down! Maybe you did win. For now," said Larryboy in sudden courage.

"What do you mean? I won!" yelled Alvin in rage.

"You do realize I could still go back in time to reverse this now that I know how you defeated me," replied Larryboy with a little uncertainty. He wasn't sure if Archie fixed the machine or if he would make it out alive, but he couldn't let Alvin know that.

"What? I made you my cyborg slave! We are somewhat a team! I made you how you are today! Half metal and evil to the core!" yelled Alvin.

"Well I'm still a cucumber superhero right now," replied Larryboy.

"You know what I mean!" screamed Alvin in frustration, "And do you think it will all turn out all rainbows and lollipops since you have self courage? Don't be so childish! It's all 'God made me special and He loves me very much!' for you. FORGET IT. Say 'All hail Alvin!' Say I won! Say you gave up like you do seven years ago! You can't do this!" screamed Alvin with a hint of terror in his voice. Just for a minute he felt he just ruined his victory, but he wasn't going to let it happen."What makes you think you can defeat me, you failure?"

"Because-"

Larryboy was cut off as part of the building he was standing on crumbled. It gave way and Larryboy fell.

Even though Larryboy was a superhero, he was not the kind that could fly.

Normally, Larryboy would be screaming like crazy falling fast down forty feet. But unusually he was not.

"Because I'm not a failure," muttered Larryboy to himself. "I AM THAT HERO!" he yelled.

Then Larryboy looked up and fired a plunger.
