(Hey, guys. Back with the second half. While I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about the Banana Splits movie, like this was their way of making up for not being able to give us the Five Nights at Freddy's movie they had planned, but to me this was a good enough substitute. Enjoy.)

Lincoln, Karen, and Jerry scrambled through the studio hoping to find help, what they found was most of the backstage hands, security, and workers all dead from stabs, slit throats, or bashed in the head. The sight got Lincoln nauseous, but held it in. They reached an office and picked up a phone.

"Oh, no." Karen gasped.

"What?" Lincoln asked.

"They cut the phone line." Karen said.

"Oh, no." Jerry gasped.

"Grab one of the cellphones from the collection." Lincoln said, as they went to grab the collected phones only to find the bag was filled with nothing but broken ones.

"They destroyed the cellphones too." Karen gasped in shock.

"Oh, great." Lincoln sighed.

"What do we do now?" Jerry asked in a panic, "Most of the workers have been killed, children are missing, the animatronics have gone coo coo, and we have no communications with the outside!"

"Uh, actually we do," Lincoln replied, as he pulled out his old walkie talkie, "Four years, never stopped using this in emergencies."

Karen's eyes widened, "Normally I would shout at people for not following the rules of the studio. But in this case, I'm glad someone did. Who're you calling?"

"Back up," Lincoln answered, as he turned it on, "Clyde, come in!"

"Lincoln?" came Clyde's voice, "Where are you and your sisters? Your family just called and they're worried sick. what's going on?"

"We're still at the Bopper Bunch show."

"The show ended hours ago. What are you still doing there?"

"I'm with the host and the producer of show. Listen. The Bopper animatronics have gone crazy. We got attacked by Boomer, I can't find the Twins, Lily, and Lola's friend Meli, I don't know where Luna is, most the workers are dead and we're trapped."

"Seriously?!"

"Yes!" Lincoln exclaimed.

"Oh, boy. Well, hang in there, buddy! I'll get the others and we'll be right there!"

"Call my family, tell them where we are, then call the police and paramedics. There's a lot of dead bodies here!"

"Got it! Over and out!" Clyde and Lincoln ended their call.

Lincoln spoke to the adults, "We gotta find my sisters."

"Come on!" Jerry ordered, as they made haste.


Meanwhile, Danny Dalmatian was escorting the kids before entering the workshop, "What is this place?" Meli asked.

"This must be where the Bopper Bunch was made." Lana suspected.

"Why would my mom be here?" Meli wondered, until they saw a cell set up along with a bound and gagged Luna, Candice, and Mike.

"Luna!" the girls gasped, as Luna struggled to speak through her gag, only for Danny to push the kids into the cell and lock them up.

"Danny, what're you doing?" Lola demanded.

Danny answered, "Put on your happy faces, kids. Because the Bopper Bunch show is about to begin. Hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!"

"This isn't funny, let us out of here!" Lana demanded.

"They won't do it." came a voice, as they saw Chester walk into the light.

"Who're you?" Lily asked.

"My name's Chester. I'm the one who built the Boppers."

"Tell them to let us out!" Lola ordered.

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

"What do you mean?" Lana asked, as they untied and ungagged Luna and the couple.

"Call your jacked up bots off, man!" Mike demanded.

"As I said, it's impossible." Chester replied.

"What is going on here?" Luna demanded angrily.

"Blame the network's new V.P," Chester answered, "He was going to cancel the show and pull it off the air after today."

"What?" Candice asked.

"Oh, yes. And they didn't take kindly to it. The upgrade was supposed to make them put on the greatest show. But now that it was being taken away from them, it's all they have. It's in their programming, the show must go on."

"You built them, so why're you supporting this?!" Luna shouted.

"Because they're right. This is what I made them for, to entertain. And I won't let anyone stop my creations... My children from doing their job." Chester explained crazily.

"Dude, you're crazy." Mike called him out.

Chester ignored him, until he saw Rico dragging in Boomer, "Boomer! My son, who did this to you?!" he ran over and helped him up.

"Someone sure did a number on him." Candice noticed.

"Lincoln." the four Loud sisters whispered to themselves.

"Don't worry, I'll have you fixed up in time for the show," Chester promised, as he put him on the work table, "Rico, Danny, go and make sure no one stops your show. I'll see to it Boomer joins you shortly. And find Monty." Danny and Rico left, while Chester started doing repairs to Boomer.


Elsewhere, Lincoln and the two adults were running through the halls, until one of the office doors opened, and out came Mrs. Ramos, "Please, help!"

"Mrs. Ramos?" Lincoln asked in surprise.

"Lincoln, something is wrong here." she began.

"We know, and we're trying to stop it." Lincoln answered.

"Where's my daughter?"

"We're trying to find her and my sisters. What happened to you?"

"I was coming back from the washroom, until I saw Rico jab his drumsticks into this man's eyes. I was so frightened I ran for it and hid out in here."

"Well, at least you're alive." Lincoln said in relief.

"Come on, we need to hurry and find Chester." Karen said, as the four made haste.

Back at the workshop, Chester continued to work on Boomer, as the captives whispered, "We got to get out of here." Lana began.

"But how?" Lily asked.

"I may be able to pick the lock," Mike said, as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a lock pick, "Always come prepared for anything." he told them, as he began picking at the lock. Finally it clicked open, and the girls were relieved.

"Shh." Luna shushed them, as they gently open the cell door and slip out.

They didn't get far as Candice's shoe squeaked alerting Chester, "Hey! You get back in there!"

The group got up and backed away, until Mike grabbed a monkey wrench, "Back off, creep!" he swung it at Chester to keep him back.

"Very amusing, boy. Now here's one of my own." he grabbed a crowbar and fought the young man.

Eventually, Chester disarmed Mike, and this scared the girls. Lana knowing to act fast, reached into her pocket and pulled out a glob of mud, "Always keep emergency mud." she threw it in Chester's face blinding him.

Candice ran at Chester and slugged him in the face, causing him to fall to the floor unconsciously. The group looked at Candice who smirked back, "That felt good."

"Babe, I love you." Mike said, as the two kissed.

"Smack lips later!" Lana broke them up.

"Yeah, dudes, we gotta bail." Luna said, as they left the workshop.


Lincoln and the three adults were trying to get to the workshop, until they saw blocking their paths were Danny and Rico, "Great, the dog and pussycat." Lincoln groaned.

The two animatrons hummed their theme song, as they started walking for them, "They're coming!" Mrs. Ramos cried.

"Back the other way!" Lincoln ordered, as the three started running back, leaving Lincoln to stare the two down, "Ok, boys. You're about to feel what Boomer felt." he activated the Omnitrix and slammed the dial.

"Swampfire!"

The pyro plant alien engaged the two animatrons, who in turn fought back. As Rico grabbed Swampfire from behind, the alien stomped on his foot causing him to let go.

"Time to turn up the heat." Swampfire shot flames from his hands at the two setting them on fire.

The flames started to melt some of their costume fur off exposing their robotic parts. Swampfire blocked their strikes before tripping them into each other.

"Sorry, boys. But I gotta run!" Swampfire changed back into Lincoln and ran to catch up t the adults. As he ran the two animatrons who had half their costumes burned off and smelled like barbequed fur decided to forget about them and head on back.

Somewhere on the studio set were the Loud sibs, and the others trying to find a way out, "We gotta find Lincoln and get out of here." Luna began.

"And my mom." Meli added.

Suddenly one of the stage doors opened and out came Monty Mouse, "Oh, no, it's Monty." Candice gasped.

"Dudes, get behind me." Luna ordered, as she shielded them.

"Wait." Lana began, as she walked out in front.

"Kid, what're you doing?" Mike asked.

"He's one of them now." Lola reminded her twin.

"Come on, Lola. Monty's always been the baby of the group. No amount of glitched programming can change that." Lana said, as she walked forward.

"Lana, be careful!" Luna cried, as the others were worried.

Lana stood before Monty who looked down at her. Everyone was worried, until Lana started doing a little dance, "Tra-la-la. Tra-la-la-la." she continued to dance, as Monty watched with a tilt of his head.

"She's doing the Monty Bop?" Candice asked.

"This is some messed up stuff." Mike replied.

"Wait, look." Lily gasped.

They watched, as Monty started following along with Lana in perfect sync. The two stopped as, Lana offered the animatron her hand, "Please, Monty, help us. I know you're not like the others. And somewhere in your A.I you know that too."

Lana and Monty looked into each others eyes, until the mouse took Lana's hand. The girl looked over to everyone, "It's ok, guys." the group reluctantly followed Lana and Monty, as Lola whispered to her twin.

"I hope you know what you're doing."


Lincoln and the three adults finally made it to the workshop but jumped upon seeing Boomer on the construction table. Lincoln looked him over and sighed in relief, "It's ok. He's still inoperable."

Karen noticed Chester on the floor, "Chester!" she got down to him and checked him over, "He's still alive."

"Wait, do you hear something?" Mrs. Ramos asked.

They listened in as Jerry went close to a wall, "It's coming from here," he opened a hatch, "They must be down here."

"We better hurry." Karen said, as they climbed down the hatch before reaching the bottom.

They started walking down a tunnel letting the sound of music guide them. Suddenly a strange scent caught Lincoln's nose, "Oh! What is that smell?"

Karen, Jerry, and Mrs. Ramos caught the scent too and looked equally repulsed. They looked down another tunnel and to their horror saw a pile of dead bodies laying around.

"Oh, my..." Lincoln started looking green.

"It's all the parents from the audience." Jerry realized.

"Where are their kids?" Mrs. Ramos asked in worry, until they heard the sounds of children screaming.

They started following the sound again, as Lincoln thought, 'I didn't see Luna in there. I hope she's all right.'

They got closer and discovered a makeshift stage was set up where the half burned Boppers Rico and Danny were putting on a show using bodies of some of the murdered stage crew. Sitting before them were all the children from the audience looking frightened.

Lincoln spoke to the viewers, "Ok, this is definitely not a show for little kids. But at least I don't see Lana, Lola, Lily, or Meli anywhere," he took another look seeing them all with Monty, "I spoke to soon."

Rico noticed Monty entering with the others, "Good job, Monty."

"Put them with our other friends." Danny laughed.

Monty led them to a bench and started cuffing their feet together, "You're the Bopper Bunch! You can't do this!" Lola protested to the animatrons.

"The show must go on!" Danny declared.

As Monty finished cuffing Lana's feet, she whispered, "Please, Monty, don't do this." she pleaded. Suddenly she saw Monty dropping the keys to the locks into her lap. Lana looked at Monty and smiled knowing he really was on their side. Monty left, as Rico spoke.

"Now boys and girls, we're gonna teach you the importance about fire safety, with our dear friend Martin."

Everyone watched as the body of Vice President Martin strapped to a tricycle rolled over, "Let us show you all what happens when you play with fire." Danny said, as he held a can of hairspray and a lighter up. He used the two together and set the corpse of Martin on fire which got the kids, Luna, Mike, and Candice screaming, while Rico and Danny laughed.

Lincoln frowned hating to see children subjected to watch such torture, but noticed his sisters and Meli unlocking the cuffs to their legs. He turned to the adults, "I'll distract those two. You guys get these kids out of here."

"Lincoln, what're you going to do?" Mrs. Ramos wondered.

"Trust me. I got a plan." Lincoln answered, as he ran forward and activated the Omnitrix as soon as he was out of sight of the three adults.

Rico spoke to the captive children, "Now, which one of you wants to come up and help us with our next act called 'Don't drink Acid'," he peered around the group before stopping on Luna, "How about you, little lady?"

"Hard pass, dude." Luna frowned.

"There's no need to be shy." Rico said, as he stepped closer towards her, only for Echo Echo to jump onto his face.

The alien clung to the animatron's face, as he stumbled back before falling over. Echo Echo got off him and spoke to the two Boppers, "Sorry, boys, but this show's canceled." he summoned six clones, that started attacking them.

Karen, Jerry, and Mrs. Ramos acted fast, as they hurried to help free the children, "Mom!" Meli hugged her mother.

"Meli!" Mrs. Ramos cried.

"Everyone, stay calm." Jerry instructed, as they freed the kids.

Karen turned to Mike and Candice, "You two take the kids and follow the tunnel, you'll find the ladder leading to the workshop. And don't let the children look down the one tunnel as you go there."

"Understood." Candice answered, as she and Mike spoke to the children.

"Through here kids, follow us." Mike instructed them as they led the kids along with Meli and her mom to safety.

"Everyone, cover your ears!" Echo Echo Prime called, as they all did so. All the Echo Echos released their sonic screams that started to irritate the Boppers circuits and servos causing them to break down and fall apart.

"Yeah!" The Loud sibs cheered.

The Echo Echos became one again, who changed back into Lincoln, "That's a wrap folks." everyone sighed in relief.

So they started heading back down the tunnel to catch up with everyone, "I tell you all if this was a game, I would never wanna play it again." Lola told her sibs.

"You and me both." Luna agreed.

The group suddenly heard mechanical footsteps approach and saw Boomer still with only one arm blocking their path, "Boomer?" the twins gasped.

"Uh-oh." Lily gasped in worry.

"Time's almost up." Boomer said, as he walked forward.

"Lincoln, do something." Karen said in worry.

"I can't, the watch hasn't recharged yet!" Lincoln said nervously.

As Boomer got closer, a voice shouted, "NO!" suddenly running from the side down one of the tunnels was Monty who pushed Boomer to the side much to everyone's shock.

They watched as Monty and Boomer fought each other with every hit causing gears to grind and wires to spark, "Come on, Monty!" the twins called.

Monty tugged a cord out of Boomer's shoulder where his arm would be and started strangling him with it. Boomer just laughed before thrusting his hand into Monty's torso and pulled out his core that was leaking fluid. But his victory was shortly lived, as the pressure in his neck cause his head to pop and break. The two robots fell down with Monty clinging on.

"Monty!" they ran over to him.

"Monty, you saved us." Lily cried.

"You'll always be our favorite, Monty." Lana shed some tears, as she held his hand.

"You're... my... best... friends." Monty said, before he completely shut down. Lincoln and Luna hugged their younger sibs knowing how much Monty meant to them as part of their favorite program and for what he did for them.


Later on outside the studio that night, all the children were being reunited with one of their parents or other guardians, but were still mourning for the loss of their parents who were killed by the rogue Boppers, and were being recovered and taken away by the paramedics.

As Lola, Lana, Lily, and Luna were telling their family and Clyde what happened, they saw Lincoln sitting on a bench looking dismal. They walked over in concern, "Lincoln?" Clyde asked.

"Bro, you ok?" Luna asked.

"I couldn't do it." Lincoln answered.

"What?" Rita asked.

"I couldn't save any of those parents or the staff. They're all dead because I wasn't there for them!" Lincoln cried.

"Lincoln, no one is blaming you for this." Lynn Sr assured him.

"You found Meli's mom and brought them back together." Lola reminded him.

"And you helped save all those kids." Lana added.

"You know being the hero isn't easy, Lincoln." Lucy reminded him.

"But the sad fact is you can't always save everybody." Lisa put in.

"I know," Lincoln replied still feeling guilty, "Which is why next time I'll make sure there won't be as many casualties," he sighed, and smiled, "But I am glad to see everyone here is safe."

Everyone smiled seeing he was coming around, until Karen and Jerry approached, "On behalf of us, Lincoln Loud, and your sisters. Thank you for helping us." Karen began.

"No problem." Luna replied.

"But what's going to happen to the studio now?" Lana asked.

"When this gets launched there's going to be trouble." Lola reminded them.

"We'll figure something out." Jerry assured them.

"Great. Listen, uh, about me going alien..." Lincoln began, until Karen spoke.

"As far as anyone is concerned, you were at our side the whole time."

Lincoln smiled, "Thank you both," the two adults walked away to speak to the cops some more, and Lincoln spoke to everyone, "Come on, let's go home." everyone got in Vanzilla and headed off.

One of the cops went to the chief, "Chief, we got a problem."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"We combed the whole building, there's no sign of Chester; the creator behind the animatrons. And the animatrons themselves are missing as well."

"What? Where'd they go?" the chief asked in confusion.

Meanwhile somewhere underneath the studio inside a new workshop. Under a lamp was Chester sitting at a table repairing Rico's arm, while the collected remains of all four of the Boppers were laying about on other tables.

"Don't worry, my sons. I will rebuild you all good as new. After all, as they say in showbiz. The Show must go on." he snickered, before humming the Bopper Bunch theme song, as it panned to an up close of the heads of each of the mascots.

(And there you go. Lincoln got his sisters and the kids out, and defeated the Bopper Bunch, but they may come back one day. And like Miles Morales learned that the toughest thing about being a hero is you can't always save everyone. Don't miss next time guys.)
