Chapter 34: TOM:
Jack's POV:
We were at the Resistance Base.
"As long as Aku has no idea where..." Johnny was then interrupted when a pizza was delivered.
"Pizza delivery for Rigby!"
We all looked at him. "Oops," says Rigby, "I... didn't think that through."
"Were you followed," asks Johnny.
"No," says the Pizza Boy.
"Good," says Johnny, "ERASE THE OUTSIDER'S MEMORIES!"
"ERASE THE OUTSIDER'S MEMORIES!"
Everyone then grabs the Pizza Boy to have his memories erased. I then looked at the computer. "Something is falling from the sky," I said.
. . .
We arrived at the crash site.
"This ship must've been attacked," says Jill.
Then someone comes out. It was a small, pudgy robot with his feet, hands, and head connected to his body by thin black joints. His body had a digitigrade construction, resulting in backward knees. He had a white and blue color scheme with lights embedded onto his hands and a glowing symbol on his stomach. He also had a scope mounted onto the left side of his helmet, although the purpose of this was never explicitly shown. "Help... me..."
. . .
We took him to the lab.
"What is his story," I asked.
"I'm not sure," says Dexter, "oh, look, he's waking up."
"My name is TOM," he said, "that's Titanium Operations Module."
"What is your story, Tom," I asked.
"Over on the other side of the Galaxy, the space hero, Space Ghost formed a team with some of his worst enemies to fight against the galactic threat, Aku. When Aku was beating them, Moltar created me to be the captain of the Ghost Planet Spaceship Absolution Mk. I. Every one of them was killed by Aku, so I came here to the planet he hasn't conquered yet, Planet Lolliland."
We all looked at him. "This is the Planet Earth," I said, "the Center of Aku's empire."
"Awe man," says TOM, "I knew I should've fixed Sarah."
"Sarah," asks Jill.
"My computer," I said.
"I will get everything fixed," says Dexter.
"Okay," says TOM, "but be careful."
Dexter's POV:
I was working on TOM's ship when...
"HI DEXTER," shouts DeeDee.
"DEEDEE, I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW!"
"I just wanted to see the big ship," says DeeDee.
"we don't know anything about this ship," I said, "for all we know, it could destroy the world! So, get out!"
I didn't notice it at the time, but...
"What does this button do?"
Jack's POV:
I was telling TOM about what the world was like before Aku.
"Sounds like a paradise," says TOM.
"It was," I said, "it was."
We then had a call from Dexter. "My sister has unleashed some sort of monster!"
"Oh no," says TOM, "it's Numbuh 9L!"
. . .
We arrived and saw this cat like creature.
"Oh no," says Peter, "I'm allergic to cats!"
"And that's why I can never have one," says Jill.
"She's no ordinary cat," says TOM.
Numbuh 9L then started causing trouble. I then got out my sword and... TOM got in my way.
"What are you doing," I asked.
"There's something else," says TOM, "she's a kid!"
"What," I asked.
Numbuh 9L then pounced me. I managed to shake her off. She then left.
"That's some kitty," says Jill.
"Did you say she was a kid," I asked.
"Okay, here's the thing," says TOM, "besides, Aku, there's another threat to the Galaxy. The Galactic Kids Next Door. A misguided organization that convinced themselves that Adulthood was a disease. Their method of dealing with adults is by destroying an entire planet they deemed as being overrun with Adulthood!"
"A group of children can do that," asks Jill.
"They're terrifyingly smart," says TOM, "I captured one, but who's the dummy that let her out!"
"Well, maybe if you put up a sign that people can read," says DeeDee.
"She's probably going to contact the Galactic Kids Next Door," says TOM.
"Unless we stop her," I said.
. . .
Now we're searching for an alien cat child that hates adults.
Peter then starts sneezing. "I think we're getting close," says Peter.
"There she is," says TOM.
We were then running when these drones showed up.
"We don't have time for this," says Jill.
"I have been wondering," I said, "what is it you drones want?"
"No one has ever asked us that before," says one drone, "there is something we have had in mind for a long time...
Drones: Well, we've been cooped up in this castle,
So, who cares what people say,
We haven't had a chance to dance since we were on Broadway, hey
The power of Aku's all but stopped us from our dance
Now then boys, let's make some noise! Kick up your heels and dance! Hey!
All we've ever wanted was to be void of rants, but now we get to party, but with his boots and pants, hey! La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la, hey!
We then took the opportunity to go after the cat. She left.
"We better find her," says TOM, "this planet doesn't need any more trouble!"
. . .
We then made a pile of yarn.
"Think this would work," asks Jill.
"She is a kitten," says Peter.
Then Numbuh 9L came...in a robot suit.
"Why am I not surprised," asks Peter.
I then took on the robot suit. Numbuh 9L found a strong one, but my sword is stronger. I started slicing through the limbs. The robot suit then fired a giant hairball at me, but that was not going to stop me. I then started slicing the robot suit, leaving just Numbuh 9L.
. . .
"Your ship is now repaired," says Dexter.
"Thanks," says TOM, "I'm hoping I can reform Numbuh 9L on Lolliland."
"Good luck on your journey," I said.
TOM's ship then takes off. But there was one thing I'm wondering... where did Numbuh 9L get that ship?
Numbuh 1's POV:
I was watching as the ship took off. It's not over yet. Soon, this planet will be saved from Aku and all other adults.
