War of the Criminals
Part 3
(It's now Monday morning and Becky is walking to school with Violet and Scoops.)
(When she arrives, she sees Tobey and Victoria heading to her classroom and Eileen passing by, heading to her own classroom.)
(While they are in school, in Woodview Elementary, across town, in the Old Town, Alex and his friends were given permission from their parents.)
Quincy: Alex, you are doing this family a great favor.
Alex: Thanks Dad.
(His mother, Iris is sitting in the room, happy and feeling proud of her son.)
(She and her friends are also helping to fight against the villains.)
Quincy: Since I'm letting you skip school today, what are you and your friends planning to do today?
Alex: We heard that there are three villains about our age. And we were thinking of going after their 'lairs'.
Quincy: Well, I don't want to keep you kids from your mission.
Justin: Come on, Alex. It's almost 11. It'll be 2:30 soon and they'll be home from school.
Alex: Ok.
(The kids then head for the New Town and they first head to the home of Victoria Best.)
(When they arrive, they notice that her house has a security system.)
Justin: So what now?
Alex: Hmmm, we'll just have to find a way to get in without setting off the alarm.
Stephan: (Another friend points to the roof.) How about the chimney?
Alex: Great idea.
(The boys climb to the top of the roof and Stephan climbs down the chimney as slowly and as carefully as he can and once he reaches the living room, he goes to find the security alarm system and with some tools, he is able to disarm the security system and opens the door for his friends and they immediately go and the first thing they steal are all of Victoria's trophies, including the ones that she's actually earned honestly.)
(But what they didn't count on running into in Victoria's house is her sidekick, General Smoochington, who sees the unknown boys in the house and goes to try to scare them away. The family's pet poodle tries to as well.)
Alex: Hmmm. (He then sees a bunch of bananas and goes to get some and hands them to Smoochington and then hands some dog treats to the pet poodle.) There. Animals are so stupid.
Justin: Aren't we going to take these animals?
Alex: No. Not this time. Come on, we don't have much time to trash this place and then head for the other two kid villains' homes.
(With the two family pets munching away at the snacks that the boys gave them, the boys continue to rob and destroy The Best Family home, stealing more then they had before.)
(The boys finish destroying Victoria's home and now head for the home of the Birthday Girl, which they easily break into, since she's at school and her mother is at work, the boys are free to do steal and destroy what they want.)
(They don't steal a whole lot, but they do destroy Eileen's tea party set, including her table, chairs, dishes and cups. They then go and destroy her stuffed animals and then the rest of her room and the rest of the house.)
Justin: Wow, that house was easy to destroy.
Alex: Now, onto the last of the kid villains.
(The boys, at last, come to the home of Tobey McCallister the Third and the first things they see surrounding his home are several giant robots.)
Justin: So, how do we destroy those?
Alex: We'll figure something out. (They first find their way into the home and begin to steal and destroy a lot of Tobey's and his mom's items, including his master remote, his Wordgirl scrapbook.) Look, this kid is in love with that girl in the red outfit and yellow cape.
Justin: What a doofus.
(They then destroy some of Tobey's pictures and everything else.)
Alex: Come on, school's about to be let out. Let's get out of here now.
(Soon the three villain kids enter their homes and they equally find them in shambles and they equally become upset.)
(Over in Victoria's home.)
Victoria: Who did this to my house?! General! (General Smoochington comes over and feels bad that he didn't keep intruders from coming into her home and stealing and destroying things.) Let's get whoever did this. They destroyed the best house in the city and they are going to pay, whoever did this.
(Over in Eileen's house, she is equally upset and grows bigger and greener.)
Birthday Girl: This is my house! MINE, MINE, MINE! (She then busts out of the front of her house but then realizes that she destroyed her own house and, even though her mother isn't home, she apologizes.) Ooops! Sowwy Mommy. But I'll get whoever did this to our house! (She then stomps away.)
(Meanwhile, Tobey arrives at home and he too sees the damaged done to his house and he sees that his precious master remote and his beloved Wordgirl scrapbook are destroyed.)
Tobey: I'm going to make a new master remote and then I'm going to go and destroy whoever did this!
(Now the villains that had their homes destroyed come together and discuss what's been happening to their lairs/homes.)
Tobey: (He has made a new master remote and is sitting on top of one of his robots, which were not destroyed.) We need help.
Chuck: Tobey's right. We need to do this before more villains' homes are destroyed and robbed.
Mr. Big: (Even though his lair hasn't been destroyed, at this point, he joins the other villains who are all standing in the center of town.) Look, I understand that you all are upset.
Dr. Two-Brains: Wordgirl said that she was going to stop whoever it was.
Tobey: That's great, but she can't be everywhere at once. We need to assist her with this.
Victoria: I have the best answer. How about we form an army to go after whoever is doing this?
Mr. Big: Great idea. Leslie, summon the rest of the villains. We are going to war with the crime families. They are the ones responsible for all of this. (Leslie then goes and summons the rest of the villains and asks them to come to the center of town and to bring every weapon they have.)
Tobey: The crime families? They're the ones that did this?
Mr. Big: Yes, and they sent their children to go and destroy your homes/lairs.
Birthday Girl: Other kids did this to our homes?
Mr. Big: Yes. I know of one of the suspected crime families, the Dirkmans. They were the most notorious crime family and they are responsible for the death of my real father.
Butcher: Wait? Are you talking about that crime that Wordgirl was investigating?
Mr. Big: Yes. My stepfather supplied them with a whole host of weapons that they plan to use on us so that they can, once again, the crime world of our city.
Butcher: Yeah, my father told me about them. He said that the war ended before I was born.
Mr. Big: That's true. But since then, the next generations have been slowly rebuilding their army and weapon supplies. Now they are armed and ready for a second Crime War.
Dr. Two-Brains: But you're all forgetting that we have one thing that they don't have.
Chuck: (Trying to think what that is.) Hmmm, better weapons?
Dr. Two-Brains: Well, we do have that, but we also have Wordgirl.
Ms. Question: Do you think Wordgirl will come and help us?
Mr. Big: I know she will. They threatened her once also.
Dr. Two-Brains: Besides, I know she will come and help us anyway.
Mr. Big: Hmmm, maybe we should ask her to come here as well.
Ms. Question: How will we do that?
Tobey: She has super hearing. All we have to do is shout as loud as we can and she'll show up.
(The villains present in the center of town agree and begin shouting in all directions for Wordgirl to show up.)
(Meanwhile, Wordgirl and Huggy are in their hideout when they hear shouting coming from the center of town, that's not coming from the Help Guy.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy, I think that's the villains calling for us. Let's go! WORD UP! (They zoom to the center of town and they see some of the villains present.) So, what's this about?
Mr. Big: Wordgirl, I know in the past we had our little battles and all, but we really need your help now.
Wordgirl/Becky: Does this have something to do with the crime families breaking into your lairs and all?
Chuck: Yes. Will you help us stop them from taking over?
Wordgirl/Becky: Maybe I can help you do more than that.
Butcher: What more can you do?
Wordgirl/Becky: How would you all feel about being superheros and bringing the crime family members to jail? Well, the adult members that is?
Victoria: Will this mean that I can try to be the best superhero?
Wordgirl/Becky: I guess. But the main agenda is to defeat the crime families. And, most likely after this is over, you all will go back and commit crimes again, but for now we'll work together to bring them to justice and maybe, we can help that part of town as well. There is a lot of violent crime there that has to be dealt with and, I can admit it, I can't stop it all alone.
Tobey: We have to make sure the rest of the villains are on board with this.
Dr. Two-Brains: We'll call a special villain meeting and discuss this idea. But, I, for one, agree with Wordgirl.
(A day later, all the town's villains head to the Villains' Association meeting place and Wordgirl and Huggy have come along as well.)
Granny May: Now, will the meeting come to order! (The murmurs of the other villains cease.) Thank you. Now, Mr. Big and several other villains have invited Wordgirl and her sidekick to this particular meeting and it's also the first time The Birthday Girl and Victoria Best are attending one of these meetings.
Victoria: It's not like we have anything else better to do.
Birthday Girl: Can we have a pawty later?
Granny May: Young lady, we're here for a more important reason. (As Granny May says that, Eileen begins to pout a little.) So anyway, Mr. Big wants to share some words with us.
Mr. Big: Thank you, Granny May. Now Villains, we are all here because there is a crisis happening. The crime families are slowly trying to take over once again and if they succed, then the crime in this town will become violent and dangerous. Even more so than when we are committing crimes.
Wordgirl/Becky: Mr. Big, you villains aren't really all that violent. When was the last time any of you killed someone or seriously injured someone?
Mr. Big: (He and the other villains look at each other, questioning and trying to find an answer to her question.) Um, I don't believe any of us villains had ever really seriously hurt anyone or killed anyone.
Anyway, getting back to what I was saying, we want to keep our part of town violent crime free and in order to do that, we have to make sure that these crime families don't take over.
(As they discuss this, some of the crime family members have entered the newer part of town and begin to commit some crimes, that involve them using guns and knives on their victims.)
Henry: (From one of the crime families, has gone into the jewelry store and begins to aim a gun at Reginald.) GIVE ME ALL THE MONEY AND THE JEWERLY AND DON'T HESITATE OR YOU'LL BE DEAD!
Reginald: (With fear in his voice, like none before, he does what the robber is telling me.) Yes Sir. Please, don't harm me. (Some of his wealthy customers are there as well.)
Henry: And as for you all, give me your money and jewelry as well. (The rich customers begin to do the same thing.)
(After he leaves the jewelry store, Reginald hits the alarm and Wordgirl's and Huggy's belt alarms go off.)
Tobey: What's that?
Wordgirl/Becky: That's the alarm from my belt. It's telling me that someone's robbing someone. But if you all are here then that means… (Huggy, the crime families are starting to commit crimes.) That's right. Huggy, I need for you to go and see who's being robbed. (Huggy, right away!.)
(Meanwhile, in other parts of the city.)
Alex: (And his friends are causing trouble themselves as they watch Scoops and Violet walk past the alley, the boys jump out.) Hey, that's a nice camera you got.
Scoops: Thanks.
Justin: Hand it over, Kid!
Scoops: No! You can't have it!
Violet: Go away!
Alex: (He then points his knife at Violet.) You want to say that again, Girly?
Violet: I said for you to leave us alone!
Alex: That's what I thought you said. (He then continues to point his knife at Violet.) You better hand over that camera or your girlfriend gets it!
Scoops: (With fear in his voice.) Ok! Ok! Please, just don't hurt us! (He then gives the kids his camera.)
(But the boys aren't through, as they proceed to punch and beat him up, while some of them hold back Violet.)
Justin: Hey, I like her watch. Let's take this too.
Violet: No, my mother gave me that.
Justin: Too bad. It's mine now!
(The boys leave after pushing Violet and Scoops down.)
(Wordgirl had heard Violet and Scoops being robbed by the violent crime family boys.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I'm sorry, I'm needed somewhere else. (She zooms out of the meeting hall and heads towards downtown and she sees that her friends have been robbed and that Scoops is seriously injured.) Scoops! Violet! Are you two ok?
Scoops: These boys had knives and they stole my camera.
Violet: And they stole my favorite watch.
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok, I'll take care of this. Violet, you better get Scoops home to his parents. (She goes flying around town and she gets a communitcation from Huggy.) Huggy? What's going on? (Huggy, the jewelry store was robbed and some of the customers were robbed as well.) Ok, I'm coming! (She shows up at the jewelry store.) Is everyone ok?
Reginald: We're fine, but everything in my store was stolen. You know, this doesn't happen when the villains rob me and they aren't as violent either. This man used a gun on me and I mean a real gun.
Wordgirl/Becky: Try not to fret citizens, I'll try my best to stop these new criminals.
(Meanwhile, back at the villain meeting.)
Ms. Question: Why are we still here when Wordgirl is out there? Shouldn't we try to help her?
Dr. Two-Brains: She's right. Wordgirl can't stop these violent felons herself.
(With that, the meeting ends and the villains head back into the city.)
(Meanwhile, Wordgirl and Huggy are working hard to stop any crime they see and have placed many of these new violent felons behind bars in the jailhouse.)
Warden: Man, I haven't seen this much crime in years. Not since I was transferred from the Old Town jailhouse to this one.
(Elsewhere, Wordgirl and Huggy are getting tired from zooming around everywhere.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy, I'm just so tired now. (Huggy, try to rest.)
Serial Killer: (He had also come back and he's standing behind Wordgirl, as she rests on a bus stop bench. He then sneaks up on her and grabs her, making her scream before placing his hand over her mouth.) There you are. I've been wanting to find you so I can get my revenge on you. (Huggy is scared and tries to first get him away from her.) You can't do anything to help her, Monkey! (Huggy realizes that he's telling the truth so Huggy decides to seek help from anyone.)
(Meanwhile, the villains have dispersed and have headed back to their lairs/homes, and LRW heads for the Copy Shop, which was robbed a few moments earlier.)
LRW: What the…? Dave?! Anyone?! (She finds her boss in his office tied up and gagged.) (She then removes the gag from his mouth.) What happened?
Dave: We were robbed and they took just about everything.
LRW: Everything? The whole shebang? The whole thing?
Dave: Well, not all. They didn't steal your copy machine. But they…
LRW: (She then finds her copier with damages done to it, from what looks like a baseball bat or some kind of heavy stick.) My Copier?! My baby. My precious. Speak to me. (When she doesn't get a normal response from her copier.) NOOO!(She then begins to cry at the site of her damaged copy machine.)
Dave: (He had untied himself and walks over to LRW.) Beatrice, I'm so sorry about your copy machine. I really am. I know how much it means to you.
LRW: Thank you, Dave. But now those criminals from the old town are going to pay for this. (She then makes duplicates of herself and they all head into the city.) Look for those heartless, callous, cold-blooded people!
(Meanwhile, in another part of town, Huggy is still looking for someone to help Wordgirl, who is still being held captive by the serial killer.)
Serial Killer: (He drags her to a different location, from the last time he tried to kill her.) Now no one can hear you scream your last scream. (He continues to hold onto her arm as tight as he can. He then takes out a new knife that he had bought from some kid on the streets of the old town and he's about to slice her with it, when all of the sudden, he's shot with a question mark and becomes befuddled as small question marks begin to swirl around his head.) What am I doing now?
Wordgirl/Becky: (She turns around and she sees Ms. Question, Leslie, LRW, and Huggy.) Thanks for saving me. I guess I'm losing my edge or something.
Ms. Question: Do you think just because you get over-powered by some freak like this means that you're losing your edge?
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't know.
LRW: Sweetie, we don't think that. His attack was just an ambush, ensnarement, a surprise attack. That can happen to anyone.
Leslie: Wordgirl, you're just as powerful as ever.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. (Huggy, I went and found them.) Thanks Huggy. Ok, maybe I'm not losing my edge. Maybe I'm just tired from taking these new violent criminals to jail all day.
Ms. Question: Do you need help with this?
Wordgirl/Becky: Wait? You all want to help me capture criminals and put them into jail?
Leslie: You can't really do this alone and your sidekick can only do so much to help you. You need more help.
Wordgirl/Becky: But doesn't this go against your principals as villains?
LRW: They destroyed, smashed, and demolished my copy machine!
Leslie: And they destroyed Mr. Big's office penthouse lair. And my office as well.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well then, thanks. I can use all the help I can get. And thanks for saving my life from that serial killer.
LRW: No problem, it's no trouble, it was nothing.
(Later, the serial killer is taken to jail.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Are you sure that you villains are going to be ok with battling these criminals?
Leslie: We'll be ok, Wordgirl.
Ms. Question: Where are you two going to go now?
Wordgirl/Becky: Huggy and I are going to go back to our hideout and get some much needed rest and then we'll rejoin you all in this battle.
LRW: Good idea, plan, thought. You do seem to need the rest.
Wordgirl/Becky: And you all will be ok without my help?
Leslie: We'll be ok.
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok, good luck and I'll return to help once I'm able to. Oh, and another thing, if I find out that you villains are committing crimes as well…
LRW: We understand, comprehend, know what you're telling us.
(With that said, Wordgirl and Huggy head to their hideout for a rest while their town's villains, for this time only, help her by battling the violent criminals, that are quickly taking over their part of town and making it an unsafe place to live.)
The End…
Next…After a much needed rest, Wordgirl and Huggy return to help the town's villains battle the violent criminals.
