Soon after the Zombie King returned to his normal, human self, his army minions met the same fate. It saved a lot of time, but, not only did the humans go back to normal, the converted Mr. Saturns did, too. Their bows returned to their regular reddish pink hue and their peach skin tone returned. The saved zombies were chatting among themselves, wondering what in the world happened to them and why they were only wearing boxer shorts.
Finally, the police had made the scene. A slew of cop cars rushed the streets, one of them heading towards the cemetery. Their vehicles came to a screeching halt when they saw that the situation had been taken care of. Captain Strong parked at the cemetery entrance and approached the trio with the Anti-Zombiefier. Super Saturn weakly got up and looked around town; he couldn't help but jump for joy when he saw the de-zombified people.
"What's all this, then?" Captain Strong asked.
"Zombies defeated. Boing!" said one of the Anti-Zombiefier wielding Mr. Saturns.
Captain Strong scratched his head. "Well, I guess our job is done. There's no need for my Super Ultra Mango Tango Foxtrot Martial Arts. Kinda a shame, I was hoping to use my newly developed Mega Doom Chop on some undead.
"And Super Saturn. This whole ordeal couldn't have been solved without your vigilantism. Eagleland… no, the world you its gratitude."
"Um," Super Saturn began, "Not my victory. Is theirs. Zoom!" He motioned over to the Mr. Saturns holding the weapon. "They defeat King. Boing!"
"Ah, well, in that case, the world owes them its gratitude. Now then, the boys and I will get to work on arresting all the zombies."
The battered King weakly picked himself up. "Wait," he said, "They did nothing wrong. This whole fiasco was my fault. If anything, you should arrest me, not them."
Captain Strong took out a pair of handcuffs from his black coats inside pocket. "Very well, then. Come on, it's off to jail with you," he said, leading the King away. Before they left the cemetery, the King stopped and turned to face Super Saturn.
"Super Saturn? I'm very sorry for all the trouble I caused. I don't know what got into me. The desire to eat brains must've gotten the better of me… no, that's stupid. All of this, all that's happened over the last few weeks, was my doing. How I became a zombie again, I have no idea. But, rest assured, I have no intentions of that happening a third time."
Super Saturn didn't know what to say. The King's humility was unprecedented to him, but, the hero knew that there was a regular human being in there somewhere.
"But, should we meet again… let's have a rematch. Fair and square. If you're up for it, that is."
Super Saturn smiled, despite lacking a mouth. "Look forward to it. Zoom!"
With that, Captain Strong led the no-longer-a-zombie King into his cop car, opening the back doors and nudging him into the seat.
Our heroes walked around the city, inspecting the damage that had been done in the thirty-six minute war. Nothing had been broken, at least, not severely. Houses were still standing, although there were holes in them from combat. Windows on many buildings were smashed, but that was as serious as the damage got. Super Saturn came across the King's broken staff, still in two, lying on the road. He glanced over and saw the captain's car driving away back to Onett or Twoson.
The remaining officers were conversing with the rescued zombies over what happened, and if they knew how their former King became one. Nobody had the faintest idea how or why, or when, or where, for that matter.
"What now? Dakota!" asked a Mr. Saturn.
"Talk to Doctor. Zoom!" Super Saturn replied. "He must know of winning."
A few days after the ordeal, Zoomer caught a ride with Tessie and headed for Winters. How the plesiosaur wasn't bothered by the frigid air and water was a mystery. As usual, Tessie had a wide, almost ridiculous smile on her face as she waded across the sea to the snowy land. The ride was four hours long, but Zoomer didn't mind, as he enjoyed the scenery along the way. There wasn't a whole lot to see, but you could see it for miles.
The journey through the dungeon took Zoomer another two hours to get to the lab, but he had gone through it many times and knew the shortcuts like the back of his hand. When he finally got to the lab, he knocked on the bomb shelter's door with his foot.
"Hello?" Dr. Andonuts said, opening the door just a tad. "Are you a zombie? Please don't eat me!"
"Doctor!" Zoomer greeted. "Zombies are gone. Ding!"
The doctor flew open. A gaunt, fidgety, unhinged Doctor Andonuts was standing at the door. His hair was messier than usual and his clothes were filthy, but he was thrilled to see Zoomer.
"ZOOMER!" Dr. Andonuts belted. "You beat the zombies?!"
Zoomer nodded. "With Anti-Zombiefier. Zoom!"
"I knew it would be useful! Normally, something like that causes a small village thousands of miles away to catch fire. But, hooray!"
Dr. Andonuts scuttled to his lab and brought out a bottle of cheap Champaign. Fop! went the cork in the bottle's top, and the doctor grabbed a paper cup from the bomb shelter's cupboard, pouring he and Zoomer a glass. The Mr. Saturn took a seat on the small stool at the table, chatting with the scientist about the slew of battles he had to face following his recovery. He told him of his horror when he saw the fate that befell Saturn Valley, the ensuring clash in Threed, and his thrilling rematch with the Zombie King.
The scientist was hanging on every word. His eyes were wide, his jaw was getting closer to hitting the ground by the sentence, and his jealousy over not getting to go with the hero was past its boiling point. On the other hand, he was proud to know that one of his inventions proved instrumental in saving the world.
"Wow," Dr. Andonuts huffed after hearing the tale. He was thoroughly speechless after hearing the crusade. His bottom jaw finally hit the cold, cement floor. After realigning it with the rest of his mouth, he said, "That's just, wow. I thought the whole Giygas fiasco was crazy, and it was; much crazier than this. I remember when your heroic antics first started appearing, I thought you were totally nuts. But your work recently has shown that you're the real deal."
Zoomer blushed at the compliment. He always thought he had it in him to stop crime, but saving the world was a different story. Even when he saved his hometown for the very first time, he was overwhelmed by his sense of pride.
…So, that's how one Mr. Saturn saved the entire world. All it took was a bunch of drawn-out brawls, a few contrived coincidences, a gun built for the sole purpose of defeating zombies (and doing nothing), a crushing defeat, a training montage, and a few more battles to stop the zombie menaces.
In other words, it was just a typical day in Eagleland.
