Meanwhile in the purple sparkly smoke dimension, Nicolas Maple was hurtling through time and space, color and line, syrup and...uhh...anti-syrup. You get it.

"I must say, I did a fabulous job of vexing that uncouth slob and his little friends." chuckled Nicolas Maple.

He turned his head over to one side. His eyes dilated with excitement.

"Oh of course I don't mean my kawaii Cappy-chan," he said, smiling from ear-to-ear. "Just all those other drab costumed-crusaders."

"Yes, yesssss," squeaked a voice in response.

Nicolas fabulously spun around, searching for the origin of the voice that went skritchy-scratch on his ears.

"Who said that. Come out and reveal yourself to me." he queried. His fabulous eyes darted around the void until they landed upon a short shadowy figure.

As the figure approached the Canadianite heard a strange and disarming tune.

"Rats, rats,

we're the rats...

We stalk at night

we prey at night.

We're the rats."

The figure stepped out the shadows and its true (and final) form became apparent to Nicolas.

"I'm the giant rat

that makes all of the rules!"

It was the Giant Rat That Makes All Of The Rules, also known as G.R.T.M.A.O.T.R. But let's just call him Gromt Rat.

Wait why is Gromt Rat here?

"Hello Nicolas," said Gromt Rat. "I'm here to offer my troops to you to use against that annoying Captain Maple."

"Yay!" said Rat Soldier 1.

"Oh boy! We're going to fight!" remarked Rat Soldier 2.

"Hey boss! Boss! We got big problems! The cat police is here! We need to get out of here!" cried Rat Soldier 3.

"You gotta be kidding me right now the cat police. Get us the heck away from here right now," exclaimed Gromt Rat.

Gromt Rat and his army zipped past Nicolas and further into the Purple Sparkle Dimension, leaving Nicolas alone and confused.

"Wat..." murmured Nicolas. Don't worry Nicolas, they'll never appear again...EVER.

Meanwhile back on Earth,

"Stars and Stripes!" patrioted Captain America.

"Hammer!" thundered Thor.

"Smash!" quaked Hulk.

"Unibeam!" beamed Stark.

"Eh!" ehhed Captain Maple.

"Alright cut everyone! That was perfect! We're done for today!" exclaimed the author. "Thanks for all the hard work, Avengers."

All the Avengers relaxed and let out a sigh of relief that their hard work was done.

"That's a wrap...for now."
