WordGirl and Captain Huggyface thanked the people of the city and flue off into the sky. The crowd cheered and waved goodbye. Just like that the celebration ended and everyone started back to their everyday lives. However, Scoops was suspicious as to why Becky hadn't shown up at city hall. He spent a lot of the time looking for her in the crowd. Though, it was obvious now that she had not attended. But, why? Well, this question had to have an answer. It was up to him to find it.
Scoops quickly started weaving his way out of the crowd. Making his way onto the sidewalk, the reporter began his trip back home. Looking down on his notepad, he began to write his observations from WordGirl's speech. Suddenly, he bumped into someone.
"Whoops, sorry," Scoops quickly looked up to see a familiar face. It looked like the kid villain, Tobey. He seemed to be in a big rush as he didn't even care that someone had accidentally ran into him. The kid quickly gave a sour look, corrected his glasses, and continued running.
Scoops watched the boy till he disappeared down a dark alley. The reporter wondered what he was up to. Oh well, Scoops shrugged off the idea. Looking back down at his notes, it was then that Scoops noticed something. Tobey had dropped something. Picking it up, it looked to be a flyer of some sort. Though, what was weird was it was covered in small pieces of glowing red rocks. The villain's pockets must have not been too clean.
"Scoops!" In the distance, a girl in a green sweater and purple skirt came running. It was Becky Botsford, of course. Along with her monkey Bob.
"Hey Becky!" Scoops greeted.
"Scoops, I am so SO sorry! I was trying to get to City Hall, but then I slipped on a banana peel that happened to be in my path. Uh..that slowed me down…and um..so did all the car traffic." Becky gave a half smile.
"Car traffic? The mayor said that everyone needed to walk to the event." Scoops gave her an odd look.
"Oh." Becky slumped.
There was an awkward silence as Scoops grew more suspicious. Then, remembering the flyer, he thought this was a perfect thing to show Becky. If she were interested this could be another clue to proving she was WordGirl.
"Hey Becky, look what I found!" Scoops piped as he showed the red dusty flyer to the girl.
"Oh wow! Uh, what is it?" Becky wondered.
"Well, I think the kid villain Tobey dropped it. Though, it is kind of dusty. Here let me blow it off." Scoops quickly blew off the filth.
Becky standing right in front of Scoops as the dust hit her, all of a sudden burst into an allergic reaction. Whatever it was, started to make her eyes water, her head dizzy, and cause a severe coughing spree.
Scoops watching, was stunned. What was happening to Becky?
"Whoa! Becky are you ok? I am sorry." Scoops frantically spoke as he watched in horror as the girl coughed nonstop.
"*Cough* *Cough* I..cen't.. breakthe *Cough*" Becky began to choke out. She couldn't breathe! Why wouldn't her head say it right! What was happening?
Bob panicked and began to pat her on her back. After a couple of minutes of coughing and tears, she finally began to slow down.
"Uh, Scoops I have to go." Becky wheezed. Her cheeks burning with embarrassment and the remnants of tear stains from her watery eyes. Quickly grabbing Bob, she took off down the sidewalk. Scoops watched till she disappeared down a dark alley.
Tobey had been working on this for several hours now. Never had he been forced to make such a big creation in such little time. Not to mention, Mr. Big's blueprints were very hard to read as there was coffee spots and other junk that blurred the ink. Tobey had finished much of the large invention already. This of course, was thanks to the many scrape piles and parts that assisted with easy production. Though, at last, he was down to the body. It was the most hardest to finish. For one, it was were the engine was, which was like the heart of the whole thing.
Picking up the blue prints once more, the boy looked at them and scratched his head. He had practically finished the circuits and other necessary parts of the engine. But, according to the blueprints, there was something missing. For one, the instructions said to leave a single spot in the middle of the engine empty. This was because something was to go there.
Apparently, whatever it was would fuel the whole machine. Hmmm…Looking at the directions, to see what the object could be…It was then that he realized. Pulling something out of his pocket that Mr. Big had given him, he began to inspect it. It was a rock.
Honestly, out of all the things, a rock.
Tobey recalled Mr. Big saying that this rock was important and represented power. Maybe, it was supposed to go in the center of the invention. The boy genius took it gently in his hands and placed it into the machine's center. Then, suddenly the invention flickered to life.
The boy wondered, why out of all things that this rock fueled the giant machine. For one, Tobey knew that this creation, WordGirl would surely rip apart like tissue paper. It was way too easy. But, was that the point? Did Mr. Big know something that he didn't?
Mr. Big quickly eyed his watch. Where was that boy? All the other villains had arrived at the motel. It was now 3:00 PM. The sun had been uncontrollably hot in the early hours, but now dark rain clouds started to brew. Everything seemed to be perfectly ready. Though, with all the excitement that was about to come…he just couldn't wait. Mr. Big opened the glass doors of the motel and stepped outside.
Mr. Big nervously began to squish his pink stress ball bunny.
"Oh, where is that kid?" The business man pondered walking back and forth.
Just then, Mr. Big spotted him. Though, it was almost impossible to miss him.
Tobey sat on the large invention as it began walking itself to the motel. With the machine being over 100 feet, it was like a giant landmark. Screams filled the air, and police sirens could be heard in the distance.
The creation finally reach the motel. Tobey slid down the metallic machine and landed right in front of Mr. Big.
"Here it is, Mr. Big." Tobey frowned.
"Impressive," Mr. Big complimented and then held out his hand signaling for Tobey to give him the remote.
Tobey looked up at the huge metal invention. A sudden chill ran down his spine. If he handed over the remote, then this machine was in the hands of Mr. Big and him alone. It would only do as he commanded. Even if that meant something deadly….There had to be a way out of that…Right?
"Come on boy, I don't have all day." Mr. Big said annoyed.
"I don't know…what exactly do you plan to do with it?" Tobey quietly asked.
"I am going to use it to help destroy WordGirl. What else would you expect?" Mr. Big growled. The business man suddenly saw a look in the child that he hadn't seen before. It was the sign of sadness and fear creeping into his face.
"Is a certain someone having second thoughts? Are you honestly that scared of us getting rid of her?" Mr. Big evilly grinned.
Tobey's eyes quickly widened. Looking up from his feet, "No! I am not scared…I..uh..I just don't know if this is right." Tobey bit his lip and looked back down.
"Well, if that is the case then you can say goodbye to the Villains Association." Mr. Big smiled.
"WHAT!? No! That is alright, I prefer to stay. Urgh, here…" Tobey nervously held out the remote.
Mr. Big quickly snatched the remote out of his hands. Without words, the business man returned inside the motel. Knowing that any moment now, he could begin Phase 2.
The 10 year old kid, watched as his hard work was taken from him. Though, there was nothing worst then not knowing what the villain was going to do with his invention. Would he really use it to destroy WordGirl? If so, why should he care? She didn't care about him. Though, he still cared…could he even say it? Yes, he still cared about her.
Becky and Bob quietly made their way down the sidewalk. Every now and then being interrupted by one of the remaining coughs. Becky still felt embarrassed. She was just so upset that Scoops had to see her like that. Coughing and most of all tearing up…sheesh. This was just a bad day for her.
"Cheep?" Bob quietly question, hoping to get Becky talking.
"*Cough* Well…I don't know I must have breathed in some of that red dust. It just doesn't make since. I am not allergic to anything. Why did that dust effect me?" Becky squeaked out.
Sigh. If only she knew.
The two continued walking in silence. Though, the quietness didn't last for too long.
"CHEEP!" Bob quickly pushed Becky out of the way.
A giant robot foot suddenly crashed down upon the pavement right in front of the two. Screams from frighten citizens filled the air, as Becky and Bob looked up.
"What is that thing?!" Becky cried. She couldn't tell who made it…it kind of looked like something Tobey would make. But, she had just defeated him. How was that possible? Well, the only thing that mattered now was her getting up there to fight it and save the city.
"Come on Bob!" Becky quickly grabbed her sidekick.
"Woorrrd Up!"
As the hero took off into the fight. She suddenly felt a sickening wave come over her. At that moment, it was clear to her, this was the beginning to something terrible.
So, thats it, haha well till next time of course. But, hey, I hope you guys can't wait for more :D. Please R&R if ya want XD
