Chapter XII: The Overworld Tour Comes To An End... (Phase X)
HJ: We're in speed, everyone.
Jack: Yeah, we are!
HJ (to Riga): How long until we get to Monrovia, Riga?
Riga: I can get us there in four minutes!
HJ: Okay, Riga!
Narrator/EPF: Four minutes later...
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
HJ: Well, at least we made it to Monrovia in nothing flat.
Josh: And we beat the Steamferno Clan here as well.
Jamie: Yeah, this is so awesome like never before!
Tom: Yeah, it is! But I wonder why Liberia's flag looks similar to the American Flag itself?
Jamie (to Tom): Probably because it is, genius.
Riga (to HJ): Where do you want me to land, HJ?
HJ (to Riga): Land on the northwestern shore!
Riga: Okay, HJ! *does so*
*Riga lands her airship at said location*
*Riga turns off her airship*
(front ramp whirs as it opens)
*everyone quickly gets off of Riga's airship*
(front ramp whirs as it closes)
City Number CCLXXI: Monrovia, Liberia
HJ: Josh, how long until the Steamferno Clan gets here?
Josh: In about t-minus three minutes, HJ.
Narrator/EPF: Three minutes later...
(electrical zapping)
*an orange wormhole opens up*
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
*the orange wormhole closes*
HJ: The Steamferno Clan is here, gang!
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: (grumbles angrily) Even at the start on the tenth and final phase aka Phase X of our list, The Cork Men and their gang of twelve rookie children beat us here! But we'll beat them for when Tokyo for sure.
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Boss, we are almost to ending of our overworld tour. It should be the greatest part of our plan.
Dr. Steamferno: Which is?
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: I saved the best city on our list for last. And that city is Tokyo.
Dr. Steamferno: Yeah, whatever. I get it.
Steam Magma Commander: Where do you want my Steam Magma Drones to attack, boss?
Dr. Steamferno: Have them attack right where the Cork Men and their 12 rookie children are standing.
Steam Magma Commander: Yes, boss. *walks up to his machine* Deploying all Steam Magma Drones for Monrovia. *pulls a lever*
(lever clicks)
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ: Those Steam Magma Drones will be here in any minute, guys. At any second. So we have to get ready. *draws his laser diamond sword and turns it on*
Everyone else: (sighing)
*everyone else readies their superpowers or their weapons*
Narrator/EPF: Cork Men, the Steam Magma Drones are being teleported to right where you're standing.
HJ: Thanks for the info, EPF.
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
*the Steam Magma Drones reach their location via teleporting*
HJ: There they are! ATTACK!
(all yelling war cries)
Steam Magma Drone #1: It's the Cork Men and their 12 rookies that happen to be children. Get them!
Steam Magma Drone #2: Capture for the boss.
Steam Magma Drone #3: The boss desires all of them alive.
Steam Magma Drone #4: Open fire!
(Steam Magma Drones shooting their lasers)
(arrows whooshing)
(many Steam Magma Drones powering down as they get defeated)
Narrator/EPF: Some time later...
HJ: Rah! *defeats the last Steam Magma Drone with his laser diamond sword*
(Steam Magma Drone powers down as it gets defeated)
HJ: *turns off his laser diamond sword and puts it up* There. I think that's the last of them.
(all cheering)
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: Ergh! This just can't be! We're losing Steam Magma Drones fast!
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Yes, it is very true about this information.
Steam Magma Commander: It took me a long time to finish making my three original Steam Magma Drones. But, I'll bet they'll be tougher than the cloned Steam Magma Drones for when we get to Tokyo.
Dr. Steamferno: They better be, Steam Magma Commander! *to Steam Dark Hugh Jacob* Where to next?
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Dr. Steamferno: Excellent! We're gonna go to another city that has a beach! To Freetown, Sierra Leone, we go! (laughs evilly) *pulls the warp speed lever*
(lever clicks)
(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ (to Jamie): Anything, Jamie?
Jamie: They're going to Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Riga: Then we better get going. *unlocks her airship*

Josh (to HJ): The distance to Monrovia to Freetown is 225 miles as the crow flies, HJ.
HJ: Okay, Josh.
Riga: I can get us there in two minutes!
HJ: Okay, Riga.
Riga: Setting coordinates for Freetown. *sets coordinates* *coordinates get locked and loaded* Coordinates locked and loaded, baby! Here we go! *pulls the warp speed lever on her right*
(lever clicks)
(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
HJ: Okay, guys. Focus. We're almost done with the Steamferno Clan's overworld tour. And Riga said she could get us there in t-minus two minutes.
Everyone else in unison: Okay!
Narrator/EPF: Sometime later...
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
HJ: Okay, we're here. *looks at a digital map* *to Riga* Riga! Land your airship at Lumley Beach!
Riga: Okay! *does so*
*Riga lands her airship at said location*
*Riga turns off her airship*

Josh: Uh, everyone? Might I remind you guys that the Steamferno Clan will be here in three, two, one...
(electrical zapping in the sky)
*an orange wormhole opens up*
Jack: That same orange wormhole every time!
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
*the orange wormhole closes*
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: I'm gonna say it this time. But we'll beat the Cork Men to Tokyo for sure!
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: That's just obvious enough to work, boss.
Steam Magma Commander: Where do you want my Steam Magma Drones to attack, boss?
Dr. Steamferno: Have them attack right where the Cork Men and their gang of twelve nine-year-old children are standing.
Steam Magma Commander: Yes, boss.
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob (to Dr. Steamferno): You guess those rookie children ages right, boss. According to our sensors of this airship, they indicate that all 12 rookies that the Cork Men are with are all nine years old.
Dr. Steamferno (to Steam Dark Hugh Jacob): Oh, I did? Well, good for me, I suppose.
Steam Magma Commander: *walks up to his machine* Deploying all Steam Magma Drones for Freetown. *pulls a lever*
(lever clicks)
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ: *looks through a pair of binoculars* Yep, those the Steam Magma Drones' teleporting particles. *stops looking through the binoculars*
Josh: They'll be here in any second.
Narrator/EPF: Gang, the Steam Magma Drones are being teleported right where you're all standing again.
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
HJ: Get ready, everyone! *draws his laser diamond sword and turns it on*

Steam Magma Drone #1: It's the Cork Men and their 12 rookies! Get them!

Narrator/EPF: Sometime later...
HJ: Rah! *defeats the last Steam Magma Drone with his laser diamond sword and turns it off*
(Steam Magma Drone powers down as it gets defeated)
HJ: There. I think that's the last of them for here in Freetown.
(all cheering)
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: I'm not gonna say it this time.
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Yes, the Steam Magma Drones has lost. And it's very tragic.
Steam Magma Commander: And we have 28 more cities left on our list.
Dr. Steamferno: Where to next, Steam Dark Hugh Jacob, my evil apprentice?
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Frankfurt, Germany. It's 3,133 miles away from as the crow flies, boss.
Dr. Steamferno: Excellent! To Frankfurt we go! (laughs evilly) *pulls warp speed lever next to him*
(lever clicks)
(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ: Jamie, anything?
Jamie: They're going to Frankfurt...
Tom: Kentucky's capital city?
Josh (to Tom): Not that Frankfort, Tom! You didn't let Jamie finish what he was saying. *to Jamie* Continue, Jamie.
Jamie: ...which is in Germany.
Tom: Oh, that Frankfurt.
Josh (to Tom): I told you!
HJ: We have to follow them.
Riga: Fast! *unlocks her airship*
(beep, beep!)

Riga: Okay, everyone! I can get us there in t-minus 13 minutes.
HJ (reluctantly): Okay.
Narrator/EPF: 13 minutes later...
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
HJ: We made to Frankfurt! And only 27 more cities left!
Riga (to HJ): Where do you want me to land, HJ?
HJ (to Riga): Land on the northern side on the city!
Riga (to HJ): Okay! *does so*
*Riga lands her airship on the northern side of the city*
*Riga turns off her airship*

Narrator/EPF: One minute later...
(electrical zapping in the sky)
*an orange wormhole opens up*
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
*the orange wormhole closes*
Drew: That must be the Steamferno Clan!
HJ: That's correct, Drew.
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: I'm gonna say it again this time. Can't believe that the Cork Men and their 12 rookies beat us here!
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Yes, they have. But boss, we're going to make sure we complete this overworld tour.
Steam Magma Commander: Where do you want my Steam Magma Drones to attack, boss?
Dr. Steamferno: Have them attack right where all of the eighteen heroes are standing.
Steam Magma Commander: Yes, boss. *walks up to his machine* Deploying all Steam Magma Drones for Frankfurt. *pulls a lever*
(lever clicks)
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ: The Steam Magma Drones are almost here! So get ready, everyone! *draws his laser diamond sword and turns it on*
*everyone else readies their superpowers or weapons*
(evil warbling teleporting noises)
HJ: The Steam Magma Drones are here! Everyone! ATTACK!
(all yelling war cries)
Josh: And might I remind you, HJ. The Steam Magma Drones teleported right where we're standing.
Steam Magma Drone #1: It's the Cork Men and their 12 rookies! Get them!
Steam Magma Drone #2: Capture them all for the boss!
Steam Magma Drone #3: The boss desires all of them alive.
(many Steam Magma Drones powering down as they get defeated)

HJ: There. I think that's the last of them for Frankfurt.
(all cheering)
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Boss, it's terrible. All of the Steam Magma Drones are offline for here in Frankfurt!
Dr. Steamferno: No! This just can't be!
Steam Magma Commander: At least we have 810,000 Steam Magma Drones left.
Dr. Steamferno: Where to next, Steam Dark Hugh Jacob?
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Just go into warp speed. I'll show you.
Dr. Steamferno: Okay. *pulls the warp speed lever next to him*
(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
HJ: Anything, Jamie?
Jamie: They didn't say, HJ.
HJ: Then we gotta follow them via the tracking device.
*Riga unlocks her airship*
(beep, beep!)

(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
Narrator/EPF: 27 cities later...
(ding!)
(ZOOM!)
HJ: We made it to Tokyo. This is it. The final city on the Steamferno Clan's list. The very last city on the Steamferno Clan's overworld tour list. *looks at the city* Looks like some buildings are burning and some explosions happened already.
Jamie: Aw, man. The Steamferno Clan beat us here.
Riga: Looks like they're attacking on the other side of the city.
HJ: Riga, get us there to the attack site. And make sure you do not land air your airship near the attack site.
Riga: Okay! *does so*
Josh: They seem to be attacking on the north side of the city.
Tom: *looks at the window*
(Tom hears people screaming in the distance)
Josh: And we arrived on the south side of the city.
Riga: Okay, HJ! We're here! And according to these charts, right where we're flying above is a perfect place to land.
HJ: Go for it, Riga.
Riga: Okay! *does so*
*Riga lands her airship at said location*
*Riga turns off her airship*
(redstone engines powering down)
Riga: Might I remind you guys that my airship is down to one warp speed charge. So I'm gonna have to save it for when we get back home.
(front ramp whirs as it opens)
*everyone quickly gets off Riga's airship*
(front ramp whirs as it closes)
HJ: We're gonna teleport to the attack site. Throw ender pearls, everyone!
Everyone else in unison: Okay!
(everyone in the gang throws ender pearls to the attack site)
HJ: Well, until they land.
*the ender pearls land at the attack site*
*all 18 heroes teleport*
(whoosh!)
*all 18 heroes take damage*
(click!)
All eighteen: Ow!
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Dr. Steamferno: Yes! We beat the Cork Men and their children allies here!
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Yes! This part of our plan is successful!
Steam Magma Commander: And my Steam Magma Drones are working perfectly to terrorize all of Tokyo.
Narrator/EPF: Returning to the scene we were at seconds before...
*everyone readies their superpowers or weapons*
HJ: There they are. The Steam Magma Drones. Now, everyone! ATTACK!
(all yelling war cries)
Steam Magma Drone #1: It's the Cork Men and they're 12 rookies. Get them!
Steam Magma Drone #2: Capture them for the boss.
Steam Magma Drone #3: The boss desires all of them alive.
(many steam magma drone powering down as they get defeated)
Narrator/EPF: Sometime later...
Josh: So far we have defeated 29,997 of the Steam Magma Drones for here in Tokyo. And we have defeated 8,999,997 of the Steam Magma Drones. So everyone, leave the three Steam Magma Drones for HJ. All of us need to have an equal amount of Steam Magma Drones to be defeated. Since 9,000,000 divided by all of 18 of us is 500,000 Steam Magma Drone defeated for all 18 of us.
Jamie: I don't the last three of them.
HJ: Aren't those the last three over there? *points to the last three Steam Magma Drones*
Jamie: Oh, there they are! *to HJ* HJ, they're, like, 30 blocks away from you.
HJ (to Jamie): I know that. And those three Steam Magma Drones must be the three original Steam Magma Drones that the Steam Magma Commander made.
Drew: I tried fighting them earlier. And they are way tougher than the cloned Steam Magma Drones! Oh ma gosh.
HJ: Better leave this one to me, Drew.
Drew: Okay.
HJ: *runs to the last three Steam Magma Drones* Rah! (yelling a battle cry)
Steam Magma Drone #4: It's the Current Position Hero!
Steam Magma Drone #5: Get him!
Steam Magma Drone #6: The boss desires him alive.
HJ: *tries to fight the last three Steam Magma Drones*
*all three Steam Magma Drones fire their laser at HJ, knocking him back*
HJ: Whoa! (grunts as he blows his landing)
Drew: HJ, use your super strength!
Josh: HJ, don't the Current Position Hero State!
HJ: Okay, thanks, guys.
*HJ bulks up as he gets all of muscles completely revealed and including his pecs and eight-pack*
HJ: Rah! *finally defeats the last three Steam Magma Drones*
(the last three original Steam Magma Drones power down as they get defeated)
HJ: Yes! I did it! All nine million Steam Magma Drones have been defeated!
(all cheering including HJ very loudly)
Narrator/EPF: Meanwhile on the Steamferno Clan Airship...
Steam Dark Hugh Jacob: Boss, all the Steam Magma Drones are offline! Every last one of them!
Dr. Steamferno: We've failed.
Steam Magma Commander: And the Current Position Hero defeated my three original Steam Magma Drones!
Dr. Steamferno: I have another idea. Let's head back to our lair. *pulls warp speed lever*
(ZOOM!)
(ding!)
HJ: Guys, we did it! We defeated everyone last Steam Magma Drone around the entire overworld!
Riga: And I have one more warp speed charge left to get us home. It's gonna take 25 hours for all warp speed charges to recharge.
Narrator/EPF: I'll teleport you all back to the airship.
(teleporting noises)
*The gang gets to Riga's airship on the inside*
(teleporting noises)

HJ: We made it! We're back home at last! *to EPF* EPF, what time of day is it here?
Narrator/EPF: It's almost noon.
HJ: Okay, thanks, EPF.
Riga: Where want me to land, HJ?
HJ (to Riga): On the south side of Steamhoma City, Riga.

HJ: Wow, we are finally back!
Tom: Home sweet home at last!
Narrator/EPF: Gang, I hate break up this conversation early, but two people are nearby and are approaching us fast. It happens to be a man and an old lady who happens to be none other the man's mom. Probably familiar faces you've encountered before.
HJ: Okay, EPF. Thanks for the info.
*the two figures, silhouetted approach the gang*
HJ: Get ready, everyone. But don't draw your weapons or ready your superpowers, guys. EPF said that they're probably faces that we've encountered before.
*the figures approach the gang and are not silhouetted anymore*
*HJ realizes the two figures that he's seen before*
HJ: (gasps)
