Chapter 12: The Final Showdown (Part 1)

The Resistance is facing the oncoming opposition from the Tenorman Army. Stan and Kyle nod at each other. Stan then turns around and raises his arm. A large group, possibly a battalion of Peanuts and South Park kids and the Resistance infantry at least, stand behind them and all their friends.

Stan Marshwalker: Let's go!

The Resistance charges forward, yelling and shouting, and begins fighting their way through the army. Gunfire flies everywhere as the adult Resistance troops unleash various laser gun firepower on the approaching Phantom Copies. Violet knocks out a Joe Phantom Copy.

Violet: Take this!

Demon Elf Damien knocks out a number of Phantom Copies, Marcie uses a small stun gun to immobilizes three Phantom Copies, which Paladin Butters, King Elven Pip and Dwarf Engineer Dougie knock out shortly afterwards, Shieldmaiden Wendy smashes a Trent Phantom Copy Marcie immobilized with her sword, and Blood Elf Bebe kicks out some more immobilized Phantom Copies with her sword. Bard Jimmy sings the Phantom Copies to sleep and then attacks them with a sword. The Resistance charges forward, easily tearing through the Phantom Copies as they advance. At the end of the first wave is Infinite, flying and looking onwards at the approaching rabble. They all rush towards Infinite quickly.

Charlie Brown: You again.

Violet: Give it up Asshole! After we defeat you, we will take our world back!

Warrior Emily: Yeah!

Infinite: We'll see about that. I've been looking forward to finishing you and your annoying friends. (Unleashes a powerful wave of energy, knocking back the Resistance.) I trust you're all ready for oblivion? If you're not... oh well. (Infinite is suddenly shot at by a laser, and manages to deflect some of the shots. Douglas drops down from the air, appearing before everyone, fully healed and ready to fight.) What?! Who dares?!

Warrior Douglas: Hey Asshole! Remember me?!

Infinite: Is there no end to these annoying insects? I will burn your resistance to ashes, and you along with it!

With a furious shout, Infinite shoots a beam up into the sky, creating a Phantom Copy of the sun with his Phantom Ruby prototype, to everyone's shock and disbelief.

Peppermint Patty: Whoa, you've got to be kidding. That's just a special effect, right?

Marcie: No, it's not! While we're under the Phantom Ruby's control, it's a part of our reality!

Feldspar Craig: Unbelievable! What chance do we have against that?

Tenorman comes by in his hover pod.

Scott T: The sun will fall upon you all. BOOM! THE END! Your pathetic lives are over.

Tenorman grins viciously before the camera cuts to Douchebag overlooking the battlefield. Linus approaches him. Douchebag's Phantom Ruby prototype begins to react.

Linus: Look. It's reacting. Tenorman said something about the Phantom Ruby prototypes. Let me see. (Douchebag gives Linus the prototype and it stops reacting.) Whoa, it is. (He gives the prototype back to Douchebag.) He said that the Phantom Ruby prototypes only react to the person who has activated it. That must be you, silent kid! Your courage and heroism are probably what triggered it. Just maybe, if you use this, it can make that sun disappear.

Douchebag looks downward at the prototype and then onwards again towards the sun.

(Play Fading World from Sonic Forces for the rest of the section.)

Douchebag starts to make his way to the top of the tower. Everyone starts talking while he's doing so.

Stan Marshwalker: (Through walkie-talkie) Ugh! We made it so far. We were so close!

Rogue Tolkien: (Through walkie-talkie) This is truly world-shattering!

Shermy: (Through walkie-talkie) Damn it! Isn't there anything we can do?!

Douchebag continues to make his way up the tower, but he is ambushed by gingerbots. He then defeats them all with the power of his sword and then continues his mission.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) Maybe we need to fight fire with fire.

Marcie: (Through walkie-talkie) Linus is right. If the silent kid can get close enough to that sun, the prototype should cancel out the effect.

Patty: (Through walkie-talkie) He'll be burnt to a crisp before that! Give it up Silent Kid! Please fall back!

Violet: (Through walkie-talkie) Don't worry Patty. He knows what he's doing.

Douchebag continues attacking gingerbots in his way and continues climbing up the tower.

Schroeder: (Through walkie-talkie) It's all up to the silent kid now.

Dwarf Engineer Dougie: (Through walkie-talkie) According to my calculations, the chances of success are miniscule.

King Elven Pip: (Through walkie-talkie) This means it's a desperate long shot, right?

Marcie: (Through walkie-talkie) Yes. That's what he said.

Shieldmaiden Wendy: (Through walkie-talkie) Please come back in one piece!

Douchebag sees some beams shooting down behind him and gets on his hoverboard. He then climbs up another platform and goes straight to another one.

Scott T: (Through Radio) Mwa-haha! You think you can stop the Sun? You'll burn up like a moth drawn to a flame. It's over!

Stan Marshwalker: (Through walkie-talkie) You're a real soldier now New Kid. You can do this!

Grand Wizard Cartman: (Through walkie-talkie) Stan is right. The fate of the world and our lives depend on you, Douchebag!

Nymph Nichole: (Through walkie-talkie) Really? You have him the nickname Douchebag?

Grand Wizard Cartman: (Through walkie-talkie) Yeah. He doesn't mind.

Warrior Red: (Through walkie-talkie) Wow. You are such a dick.

Franklin: (Through walkie-talkie) Can we NOT argue while our lives could be over if silent kid fails his mission?!

Kyle of the Drow Elves: (Through walkie-talkie) Fine. But when this war ends, Cartman is gonna get it for causing it to happen!

Grand Wizard Cartman: (Through walkie-talkie) Oh screw you guys!

Douchebag continues to make it up the platform he was on and starts running while a bunch of beams shoot down behind him.

Shieldmaiden Wendy: (Through walkie-talkie) Hang in there a bit longer!

Shermy: (Through walkie-talkie) Show everyone what you're made of!

Ranger Scott: (Through walkie-talkie) Come on! You're almost there!

Paladin Butters: (Through walkie-talkie) You got this, King Douchebag!

Nymph Nichole: (Through walkie-talkie) Seriously, Eric?

Grand Wizard Cartman: (Through walkie-talkie) What? He's okay with it!

Sally: (Through walkie-talkie) I'm pretty sure he isn't.

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) Yeah. Anyways, Silent Kid! We're counting on you!

Douchebag finally made it to the top of the tower. Infinite hovers above the Resistance menacingly thanks to the glow cast upon him by his virtual sun.

Infinite: Make peace with your fate, because your lives are now over!

Douchebag's Phantom Ruby prototype reacts again, and he tightens his grip on it as a look of fresh confidence scowls on his face as he make up his mind to stop Infinite. Infinite flies away, while Tenorman cackles madly as he prepares to watch the South Park Kids, the Peanuts Gang and their friends perish and seize ultimate victory.

Scott T: Mwa-hahaha! Three, (Douchebag heads towards the sun.) two, one, zero!

Douchebag gets on his hoverboard and dashes into the sun, prototype in hand. Linus watches it from the part of the tower he's on.

Linus: Silent Kid?

The Resistance watches in breathless anticipation. After several seconds, the sun is seen getting closer and closer, before it disappears from the sky completely, with only a red beam falling from it. The Resistance cheers at having been saved from total annihilation.

Stan Marshwalker: The sun! It's gone!

Scott T: Wh-What? What just happened!? (He sees the red beam falling from the sky and follows it to investigate what ruined his near victory. The goth kids smirk. The red beam is actually Douchebag with the Phantom Ruby prototype. Upon landing with his grappling hook, the prototype breaks and dissolves, and Douchebag collapses to the ground, visibly weakened from the effort. Tenorman arrives and is in total flabbergasted disbelief when he discovers what happened. He then points at Douchebag.) Impossible! I thought all the prototypes were destroyed!

Linus: A costly oversight, Tenorman. That's why Marcie always check and double check as any good genius would.

The camera cuts back to the battlefield.

Stan Marshwalker: This is the turning point, guys! Time to press our advantage and kick major ass! (The resistance cheer in agreement.) Charlie Brown, you go find Infinite.

Charlie Brown: Okay.

Violet: Don't lose this war for us.

Charlie Brown: I won't.

He gets on his hoverboard and flies off on it. And then Tuong Lu Kim appears in his war dance outfit.

War Dance Tuong Lu Kim: I'm gonna help you all win this war.

King Elven Pip: Oh boy! We have more help!

War Dance Tuong Lu Kim: That's right. And you and your group of friends should come with me. We're gonna save the world!

Dwarf Engineer Dougie: Okay. Let's do this!

Demon Elf Damien: Yeah!

Paladin Butters, King Elven Pip, Dwarf Engineer Dougie, Demon Elf Damien and Ranger Scott hopped on War Dance Tuong Lu Kim and he starts jumping on top of the tower.


(Play Mortar Canyon from Sonic Forces for this section.)

Charlie Brown is on his hoverboard and is going through parts of the canyon the find Infinite.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) That must've used up a ton of energy. The Phantom Ruby should be weaker now! This is our only chance to defeat Infinite!

Stan Marshwalker: (Through walkie-talkie) All ships, provide back up for Charlie Brown and the others! Draw the enemy's attention and shield them from damage!

Soldiers: Yes Commander!

While Charlie Brown is searching for Infinite, War Dance Tuong Lu Kim jumps up really high in all the parts of the tower while his five best customers are hanging on to him. He continues jumping really high.

Dwarf Engineer Dougie: This is a bad time to mention that I have motion sickness.

Demon Elf Damien: Tough it out!

Back with Charlie Brown, he is still avoiding the gingerbots attacks while the soldiers start taking them out.

Soldier 1: (Through walkie-talkie) All hands, maintain altitude and assemble a fight formation! The Peanuts and South Park team is our last hope! We have to protect them!

Soldier 2: (Through walkie-talkie) A huge enemy force is closing last! We're falling under attack!

Soldier 1: (Through walkie-talkie) Keep an eye on them! Don't let them get near! Every second we can buy Charlie Brown counts!

The missiles on the hoverboard came out and destroyed the gingerbots in a matter of seconds.

Soldier 2: (Through walkie-talkie) Ship 3 took a direct hit to the bridge. They're falling back! Ship 7 has been crippled by heavy fire!

Soldier 1: (Through walkie-talkie) Evacuate the flagship! All hands, abandon ship! Sorry Charlie Brown. We've done all we can. Good luck out there!

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) I appreciated the help. You can leave the rest to us.

He finally managed to make it to Infinite and meanwhile, Mr. Kim's team managed to get to the top of the canyon.

Paladin Butters: We did it. Now we can...

A laser was shot at them.

Demon Elf Damien: What the hell?!

It was revealed to be Lucy, who joined Tenorman's side.

Ranger Scott: Lucy?! Why are you helping the enemy?!

Lucy: To get back at you assholes for kicking me out of the resistance!

King Elven Pip: We kicked you out because you are being a bitch!

Lucy: Says the Frenchie who took over and destroyed half of South Park!

He shoots another laser at them.

Ranger Scott: Come on. Let's kick her ass!

Douchebag approaches them.

Lucy: You?!

Paladin Butters: New Kid? You're here to help us?

He says nothing, but nods yes.

Demon Elf Damien: Okay. Let's do this!


Meanwhile, Charlie Brown is facing Infinite as the latter hovers in the air over the edge of a ramp before the Central Tower of the fortress.

Infinite: Pathetic little boy. Even with the Phantom Ruby weakened, I still have enough power to smash you into Peanut Butter and Jelly. I'll show you how outclassed you really are!

Charlie Brown: Okay then. Let's do this. I'm gonna prove to everyone that I'm a somebody. A somebody who's gonna bring peace to the world. I'm done having people fighting my battles. From this day forward, I'm gonna fight my own battle. Let's do this Infinite!

They made it to a part of the canyon and begins to start their battle.

(Play Battle With Infinite - Showdown from Sonic Forces for the rest of this section.)

Infinite: What would you like your epitaph to read? How about "Here lies the bald failure"?

Charlie Brown: Oh good grief. I won't let that happen. I'm gonna win this!

Infinite uses his powers to try to make everything a virtual reality, and then Charlie Brown picks up his hoverboard and missiles start shooting towards Infinite.

Infinite: That was weak! (He punches Charlie Brown away.) How can a child like you have a chance to defeat someone like me?!

He starts shooting at Charlie Brown, who starts running and dodging all of the attacks.

Charlie Brown: I won't lose to you! My friends are counting on me!

Elsewhere...

Mr. Kim's team are fighting Lucy, who is blasting them with the laser gun multiple times.

Demon Elf Damien: (Uses his powers to make flames shoot out from under the ground and towards Lucy.) Take this!

Lucy dodges in time.

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) Guys, I could use a little help over here!

King Elvin Pip: New Kid, go help Charlie Brown!

Lucy: Oh no you don't! (She blasts Douchebag and almost hits him.) You gotta get through me first!

Ranger Scott: Lucy, do you really think you would stoop this low on Tenorman's level?! He committed mass murders and tried to kill all of us! Plus, Infinite could kill Charlie Brown if nobody helps him!

Lucy: Oh please! Like I care about that failure face! All he does is mess things up and ruin people's lives!

Paladin Butters: He is literally trying to save all of us! He's learning to fight for himself and not letting anybody push him around anymore! You shouldn't stand by and let him be killed!

Lucy: You shouldn't be talking because you all tried to kill him during our World Tour, not to mention that three of you tried to him the other night in South Park!

Ranger Scott: We get what they did was wrong, but at least they're trying to make up for their actions! You on the other hand is trying to help our enemy kill us and the people you cared the most! How would you feel if Charlie Brown dies?!

Lucy: I won't care. I wanted the bald fucker dead anyway.

Paladin Butters: Lucy! We get that you don't like him, but wanting him dead is a bit too far! Plus, if he dies, who will you make fun of for screwing up all the time?! Think about it! Charlie Brown and all of his friends have done so much for you and this is how you repay them? By betraying them all because they kicked you out of the resistance for being a total skank?!

Dwarf Engineer Dougie: Butters has a point. Yeah, I killed Theresa and Isla, but I actually started to miss them. Sure, I hated all the times they picked on me, but they did seem like cool girls to be with. Although I never tried to hang out with them because all they do is hit me and call me horrible names, but still. They are really cool. And think of all the good times you and Charlie Brown had together.

Lucy starts to think about all the good times she and Charlie Brown had together. A clip shows a montage of all of Charlie Brown and Lucy's bonding moments. After that, Lucy finally realizes what she did was wrong.

Lucy: Oh my god... What have I done? I betrayed my friends over them kicking me out... And now, Charlie Brown might die by the hands of Tenorman?

King Elvin Pip: Yeah. Your friends don't want this and neither do we. If he dies, every fan of your series will be heartbroken.

Lucy begins to cry and realizes what she did during the war was wrong.

Lucy: I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry! I can't believe I turned against my friend like this! This is not what I actually wanted! (She then sees her friends getting attacked by the cybercopies and Princess Kenny gets shot to death.) No... No! You know what? Fuck Tenorman! Silent Kid, go help that blockhead. I'm not having him dead by the hands of those bitches!

Douchebag smiles and goes to find Charlie Brown.

Paladin Butters: You did the right thing. Now help us fight the cybercopies.

Lucy: Oh I will!

Back with Charlie Brown and Infinite, Infinite fully charges up his Phantom Ruby prototype. He is back to full strength.

Infinite: You're done for, Charlie Brown. The Phantom Ruby's energy is recharged. (He performs a powerful energy wave.) Perish, along with your useless friends! (Douchebag intervenes in the battle, shooting out his grappling hook at Infinite. Infinite dodges and glares at Douchebag, who scowls right back.) You!

Douchebag lands beside Charlie Brown, and both train their angry glares at Infinite.

Charlie Brown: My friends got me this far, and together we're gonna win!

Infinite: Friends are nothing but a fleeting illusion. You can count on nobody but yourself!

Charlie Brown: That's not true! My friends helped me travel the world and find Pig-Pen and they helped me out in this war! We won't lose!

Douchebag and Infinite start battling hard. Infinite uses his powers and Douchebag dodges them and attacks him. After 5 minutes of fighting, Charlie Brown and Douchebag got on their hoverboards and double boosted into Infinite and he is defeated. He is now in a glitch-like state on the ground before Charlie Brown and Douchebag after having been dealt a powerful defeat by them.

Infinite: Impossible. I cannot be defeated.

Charlie Brown: You're wrong! The things that can't be defeated are heart, soul, and the bonds of friendship. Three things you and your army lack! I'm sorry for saying this, but it's true.

Infinite pounds his fist on the ground in frustration at Charlie Brown's truth, before finding himself being lifted into the air against his will.

Infinite: (Struggles to stand up) No, wait! I can still fight!

After a couple more strained gasps as he continues to struggle against the force working against him, Infinite fades away and his Phantom Ruby prototype is dragged off to an unknown location. Charlie Brown and Douchebag look at each other, puzzled. Douchebag shrugs in confusion before he and Charlie Brown turn their attention forward as Tenorman approaches the duo in his hoverpod.

Scott T: You never fail to surprise me, Charlie Brown. I didn't believe Infinite could lose. Victory will be so much sweeter when I defeat you. Don't think this is over yet, you bald nuisance. My plan just went into overtime!


Back with the others...

They are still struggling with the cybercopies.

Blood Elf Bebe: We should fall back now!

They were about to attack again before a bunch of missile exploded on them and defeating a ton of them. The resistance looked behind and it was revealed that The Loud House and Mighty B! characters came to the rescue.

Lincoln: Hey Guys. Need a little help?

Rogue Tolkien: Yes. Thanks.

Lisa: You're welcome. We're not gonna stand by and let Tenorman destroy our world!

Bessie: That's right! Now let's go save our world!

Stan Marshwalker: That's the spirit!

Warrior Red: Yeah! Now let's go kick their asses!

The resistance and their new reinforcements starts attacking the cybercopies again.


(Play Iron Fortress from Sonic Forces for this section.)

Past Charlie Brown starts to make his way forward.

Marcie: (Through walkie-talkie) According to my calculations, the Phantom Ruby signal is moving underground! Tenorman is up to something again!

Warrior Clyde: (Through walkie-talkie) He hasn't given up yet. Don't let your guard down yet.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) We have to find the entrance to the central tower and stop Tenorman!

Past Charlie Brown continues to make his way forward. He avoids oncoming missiles. He continued making his way up the tower in order to find an entrance. He then noticed some gingerbots shooting at him before some missiles hit them.

Randy: You go on ahead.

Towelie: Yeah! We'll hold them off!

He does so and then he continues searching for an entrance.

Solider: (Through walkie-talkie) We haven't found and entrance yet.

Shermy: (Through walkie-talkie) No luck here either.

Schroeder: (Through walkie-talkie) All this searching and still nothing?!

Stan Marshwalker: (Through walkie-talkie) My money's on the area the other Charlie Brown is searching. (Past Charlie Brown hitting gingerbots with his baseball bat and then continues on and then. He spots a way in.) Great! Looks like we can get in through that passage. Hold on. I'll send in reinforcements right away.

Marcie: (Through walkie-talkie) Wow! Having two Charleses is so dreamy!

Peppermint Patty: (Through walkie-talkie) You said it Marcie. Two Chucks is really dreamy.

Franklin: (Through walkie-talkie) Now's not the time to be daydreaming, guys.

The current Charlie Brown and Douchebag approached him.

Charlie Brown: Thanks Past Me. Now we have a shot of winning this war. Come on Silent Kid. Let's do this.

They go inside the Central Tower.


(Play Final Judgement from Sonic Forces for this section.)

Charlie Brown and Douchebag are on their hoverboards and are racing their way to the reactor.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) The Phantom Ruby signal is headed for the reactor. You have to hurry!

Marcie: (Through walkie-talkie) The reactor is the innermost part of the fortress.

Shieldmaiden Wendy: (Through walkie-talkie) Yeah, but the defense system is too tough to break through by normal means.

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) Don't worry Guys. I'm sure we'll find a way through.

Violet: (Through walkie-talkie) You better be!

Lucy: (Through walkie-talkie) Hey Guys. I betrayed Tenorman and I'm sorry for double crossing you.

Patty: (Through walkie-talkie) It's fine, Lucy. But anyways, Charlie Brown, don't you dare fuck this up for everyone!

They made it to another part of the fortress.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) So this is where Tenorman rebuilt Infinite.

Sally: (Through walkie-talkie) It's so sad. What a lonely place to be brought into the world.

Pig-Pen: (Through walkie-talkie) I know. This is horrible to be hearing about it.

They continued to make their way forward.

Linus: (Through walkie-talkie) The reactor is close. Hurry!

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) We're on it! Here goes!

They continued until they made it to the reactor.

(Play Final Judgement [Reactor Core] from Sonic Forces for the rest of this section.)

Grand Wizard Cartman: (Through walkie-talkie) Well, I'll be. They made it. They actually made it!

Charlie Brown: (Through walkie-talkie) Honestly, I could use a little breather right about now. But we're gonna destroy the reactor and get out of there.

King Elven Pip: (Through walkie-talkie) That's the spirit!

Douchebag defeats the gingerbots in their way and destroys all three tubes, which contained Phantom Ruby prototypes and the reactor starts to explode.

Charlie Brown: Okay. Let's hurry and rejoin the others.

The duo got on their hoverboards and double boosted out of the tower moments before the big explosion happened.


Charlie Brown and Douchebag land on the ground after leaping out of the Central Tower following destroying the Phantom Ruby reactor. They wave to the incoming Linus and Past Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown: We did it. Tenorman and his army have officially been defeated. We won! (Charlie Brown attempts to fist bump Douchebag, but they are interrupted by a small earthquake. Douchebag quickly grits their teeth and scowls as they look around for the source of the interruption, unaware of a large, inhuman mech rising out of the crater behind them.) Oh good grief! Give us a break already!

Linus: Look!

Tenorman emerges with a giant robot that resembles the one from the Tenorman's Revenge video games.

Scott T: Gotcha! The fortress reactor was just a decoy. A true winner always keeps his trump card hidden until the end.

Shermy: (Over Radio) Charlie Brown, what's going on? There aren't less enemies! There's MORE!

Linus: What?

Shieldmaiden Wendy: (Over Radio) How could there be so many?

Blood Elf Bebe: (Over Radio) Confirmed sightings indicate Lord of Darkness Clyde, Trent, Joe, Thibault... Thousands of them!

Charlie Brown: What have you done!?

His past self grits his teeth in anger.

Scott T: Mwa-hahaha! I merely incorporated the Phantom Ruby into this robot I created!

Linus: But that means the Phantom Ruby no longer has a vulnerable energy supply. It's an invulnerable ruby?

Scott T: A good deduction, Linus. This Mecha Sized Robot has... No, I have surpassed Infinite to become the complete and ultimate form. You will be crushed by this robot powered by the Phantom Ruby, (The two Charlie Browns and Douchebag get into battle stances.) and in the end everything will still be just as I planned! And I will finally crush Eric Cartman like a bug as revenge for what he did to me!

Tenorman cackles maniacally and sends out a powerful energy wave at his adversaries, nearly knocking them off-balance.

Charlie Brown: That is so not happening at all! Guys, we've came this far and we can't give up. The fate of the world depends on us. Now let's end this war once and for all.

His past self and Douchebag smile and the trio charge towards Tenorman's robot.


Stay tuned for the final chapter of this story!
