War of the Criminals
Part 5
(Thurston Smalls is sitting in a jail cell and is royally mad as to how he got there. He found out, after a few days, that his stepson, Mr. Big had mind-controlled him into turning himself into the police and forced to confess to the 50 year old murder of Mr. Big's real father.)
(Now that Thurston is no longer under mind-control and after finding out that most of his clients were arrested and are now in jail, Thurston plans to get the ultimate revenge. He will attempt to assassinate his stepson, Mr. Big.)
(That night, as everyone sleeps, Thurston uses some tools and breaks out of jail and even though the alarms begin to blare all around the prison yard, Thurston is able to make it out and runs into the night.)
Thurston: I must find that stepson of mine. He will pay for doing this to me. (He then hikes all the way back to Fair City, which is many miles from where the prison is located. It takes him nearly a three days before he reaches the outskirts of town.) There you are, Fair City. And once I get rid of my stepson, I will take over his company.
(Meanwhile, in Fair City, Wordgirl and Huggy are now battling one of their villains, like before.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Come back here, Granny May!
Granny May: I don't think so, Wordgirl!
(They zoom all over the city and at last Wordgirl apprehends Granny May.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I got you.
Granny May: Oh Man!
Wordgirl/Becky: (After Granny May is taken to jail.) Man, like I said, battling the villains is a lot nicer than battling the violent criminals from the old town. (Huggy, I thought you were going to help the old town rid itself of their crime.) I am. In fact, we're going over there now and seeing what we can do to help them. (They zoom over to the older section of town and they look for any problems that she can help with.) Ah hah! There's the serial killer. He told me that he broke out of prison. I think it's time we brought him back there. Let's go, Huggy. (She swoops down and the serial killer sees her coming for him.)
Serial Killer: Oh No! It's you! What do you want?
Wordgirl/Becky: You told me that you broke out of prison. Now I'm here to bring you back and this time, I'll make sure that you can't break out again.
Serial Killer: Is that what you think? (He then throws a knife at her and she dodges it.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't think so. (She then grabs him and ties him up and takes him back to the jailhouse in that part of town.) Here, this is a serial killer and he broke out of jail.
Sheriff in Old Town: Thank you, Wordgirl. That New Town is lucky to have someone like you.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, I didn't know about this part of town until recently so when I'm not battling my villains in my part of town, I'll be helping you all with your crime.
Sheriff in Old Town: Thank you, so much.
(Meanwhile, Thurston Smalls makes his way through the New Town and he finds his stepson's office building and enters it.)
Security Guard: Stop right there! You can't come in here without authorization!
Thurston: This is my authorization. (He then takes out his gun and shoots and kills the security guard and continues to make his way up to Mr. Big's office.)
(Other security guards are alerted and they find their colleague has been killed by an unknown intruder and they go to alert Mr. Big.)
Leslie: (She hears the phone and goes to answer it.) Yes?
Security Guard #2: Ms. Leslie, there's an intruder in the building and he's making his way up to Mr. Big's office. He already killed the security guard here on the ground floor.
Leslie: Thank you, I alert Mr. Big at once! (She ends the call with the security and goes to inform Mr. Big, but a hand slams onto hers.) What the?
Thurston: You will not say anything or I will kill you. You understand, Babe?
Leslie: (Even though she knows she can fight him off, he has a gun pointed between her eyes and this makes her obey his commands.) (She speaks in a silent and scared tone of voice.) Yes Sir.
Thurston: Good. (He then slaps her with the back of his hand and she is now laying on the floor of her office as she watches Thurston head into Mr. Big's office.)
Leslie: (She then sits back up in her chair and instead of informing Mr. Big, she decides that they need some real help and presses a security alarm, alerting the only person she knows who will be able to help them.)
(Meanwhile, Wordgirl and Huggy are flying back towards the New Town, when she hears an alarm coming from someplace new.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I hear an alarm coming from…Mr. Big's building? Come on, Huggy! (They zoom over to where the alarm is coming from and she first enters the building and heads to the Leslie's office.) Leslie, did you sound that alarm?
Leslie: Yes, Thurston Smalls…He's back and he went into Mr. Big's office!
Wordgirl/Becky: Ok. Huggy, stay here with her. I'm going to get Thurston. (Huggy, ok.)
(Meanwhile, Mr. Big has his back to the door and hadn't noticed that his stepfather had entered his office.)
(Thurston has busted into Mr. Big's office.)
Mr. Big: (He then turns around and sees his stepfather with a pistol aiming for him.) What's the meaning of this?
Thurston: Revenge. (He's about to fire, when Wordgirl busts inside.) What?
Wordgirl/Becky: STOP RIGHT THERE, THURSTON!
Thurston: Ok, I will stop. JUST LONG ENOUGH TO DO THIS! (But then he swings over and before she can react, Thurston shoots her in the shoulder and she falls to the floor with blood exiting her wound.) Now, without anymore distractions…back to my revenge. (But at this point, he no longer sees Mr. Big in his office chair, but sees him standing in front of him, eye to eye.)
Mr. Big: You are a bad father, Thurston!
Thurston: And you are a bad son!
(But from behind, even though she was injured, Leslie comes up behind Thurston and karate kicks him, causing him to wail in pain. While he's in pain, Huggy goes to grab the gun and hands it to Wordgirl, who's injured but still strong enough to destroy the gun, which she does.)
Leslie: Sir, I was just informed that the security guard down in the lobby was killed by Thurston here.
Mr. Big: Really? (He then walks over to Thurston and decides to take revenge himself.) This is for my security guard, that you murdered. (He then kicks Thurston.) This is for my father and my mother. (Kicks him again.) This is for hurting Leslie. (Kicks him again.) This is for trying to kill me. (Kicks him again.) And this is for hurting my nemesis. (He really gives him a kick for that one.) Are you ok, Wordgirl?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah, I'm ok. I think. Are you going to be ok?
Mr. Big: I'm fine now. (Just then, both of Mr. Big's bodyguards come in and they take Thurston out of the office.) Thanks for trying to help.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. I've never seen you beat up someone before. That was amazing.
Mr. Big: I don't want to brag but I was a quite a fighting force in my youth.
Wordgirl/Becky: I see. Well, I'll be seeing you around. I better go and get this wound treated.
Mr. Big: Not until after tomorrow.
Wordgirl/Becky: What's tomorrow?
Mr. Big: Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. I don't do any work for two weeks leading up to my birthday.
Wordgirl/Becky: Wow, well, Happy Birthday. Have a great birthday tomorrow.
Mr. Big: Thank you.
(She then heads over to Doc's lair and asks him to treat her shoulder wound from Thurston's gun.)
(After thanking him, she and Huggy head to the hideout to rest up a bit.)
(Huggy then turns on the news inside the ship.)
Newscaster #1: This just in, Thurston Smalls, the stepfather of super villain businessman, Mr. Big has now been apprehended by police and we are told that he had murdered a security guard and wounded several others, including Mr. Big's assistant and Wordgirl, who had come to battle Thurston. We are now told that Thurston will now spend the rest of his life behind bars in a maximum security prison in another state. And we are also told, that Wordgirl and Capt. Huggyface are going to continue to clean up the older section of town, to help it regain it's former reputation as a great part of town. With the last of the crime families gone, this area of town will once again, become Fair City's best neighborhood.
Wordgirl/Becky: You know, Huggy. We should do something for Mr. Big's birthday tomorrow. (Huggy, buy him a big squishy bunny?) No, he's got loads of those. (Bake him a cake with a big, squishy bunny on it?) That's it. Good idea, Huggy. We can ask the Baker if he can help us with it. (They then head over to Baker's shop.)
Baker: Hello Wordgirl. How are you? I heard on the news that you were shot by a gun.
Wordgirl/Becky: It's feeling better, thanks. Um, I'm here because I need help in making a cake for someone's birthday tomorrow.
Baker: Hmm, ok. What did you want it to look like? (She then gives him the description of the cake and with the Baker's help, Wordgirl and Huggy make a birthday cake.) So, do you want me to sign it for you?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure, that will be great, thanks. Put "Happy 51st Birthday to Mr. Big" on it.
Baker: Like this?
Wordgirl/Becky: You are a cake artist.
Baker: Aww shucks. Thanks. Do you want me to keep it until tomorrow?
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure. That'll be great.
Baker: My friend, the Candlestick Maker can put on the candles.
Wordgirl/Becky: Great. Thanks for your help. (Huggy pays the Baker and they zoom home.)
(The next day, Wordgirl and Huggy first head to the Baker's to pick up the cake and then they zoom over to Mr. Big's office and they still see him there, sitting on his office chair.)
Mr. Big: (He hears knocking on his window and turns around.) Hey there, Wordgirl. What brings you here? How is your shoulder?
Wordgirl/Becky: My shoulder is doing fine. Well, I'm here to not just wish you a Happy Birthday, but to give you this.
Mr. Big: (He then opens it.) A Birthday Cake! I haven't gotten one of these since I was a wee lad. Thank you so much, Wordgirl. Can I blow out the candles? (He then turns into a little kid.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Sure. Go for it.
(Just then, the rest of the villains enter the office as well, after Leslie invited them to come.)
Villains: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mr. Big: Oh, this is super great. Thank you all and thank you too, Wordgirl. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't be here to celebrate my birthday.
Wordgirl/Becky: No problem. (Huggy is trying to grab for some of the cake.) Not yet, Huggy. Let Mr. Big blow out the candles.
(Later, after Mr. Big blows out the candles on his cake, Huggy is told he can have some and he goes to devour a huge piece of it.)
(Off to the side, she sees Dr. Two-Brains and LRW engaging in a sweet kiss.)
Tobey: (Comes up next to her.) They look so cute, don't they?
Wordgirl/Becky: Yeah.
Tobey: It was a nice thing you did for Mr. Big.
Wordgirl/Becky: Well, he maybe an evil business man, but he's still a decent human being.
Tobey: How's your shoulder? I was told that man hurt you.
Wordgirl/Becky: It's better. Doc really fixed it well.
(At the end, Wordgirl and Huggy bid farewell to her villains, until the next time they battle.)
(But never again will she or the city have to worry about Thurston Smalls or the crime families. And the old part of town is starting to look much better and is becoming what it once was…The best section of the city.)
The End…
No more to come…!
