In New York City, Simon was prepping up one of his old inventions, the Munk Mobile, a modified 1960's AMF Firefighter's pedal car that he worked on in the 80's. As soon as Simon started the engine, filled the car up with gasoline, and put his backpack in the trunk, he headed off. Unfortunately because Simon had forgotten to test the car from when he completed it due to it being chucked into storage after the 80's came to a close. As a result, the car was speeding out of control. Realizing this, Simon tried his best to stop the fangled automobile, but due to its age, the lever that controls the speed broke off, which made it go even faster. The car then slipped on a banana peel, causing it to spin around rapidly, only to have portal take Simon in, along with the car before he could crash into a nearby wall.
Back at the base, Theodore was sitting alone, drinking a beverage. Not long after, Lara came to check on him.
"Where are your brothers, Little Theodore?" she asked.
"Simon went back to his job as a private investigator and Alvin is in another room," replied Theodore, "I just want to give him back his hot sauce I used for my milkshake."
"Do you want me to keep you company?" asked Lara.
"Uh… Sure!" replied Theodore.
"Now, what's ailing you, Little Theodore?" questioned Lara.
"I just miss Simon!" answered Theodore in tears, "He said some things and he left!"
"Oh, don't cry, Crumpet." said Lara, warmly hugging Theodore, "I'm sure he didn't mean it. Maybe he was just upset."
"I sure hope so." replied Theodore sniffily, "Besides he owes me 12 bucks."
Meanwhile, Simon crash landed in an uncanny house located in another dimension. With the Munk Mobile plowed into a wall and suffering a headache himself, he felt exhausted and confused by what he saw. By the time he got out of the car, Simon was left startled by the world he was witnessing. The room was filled with toons doing mindless dances and singing loud, repetitive and equally brainless songs he couldn't stand, over saturated colors that made his headache even worse, over stimulation that gave him a sensory overload, and other forms of insanity that made his head spin. Without much hesitation, Simon pulled out his tool box to repair the Munk Mobile. However, his wrench magically transformed into a barbie doll.
"Oh come on!" said an annoyed Simon, "How am I supposed to repair a busted car with a barbie doll?"
Not long after, the Munk Mobile transformed into a box full of puppies. This occurrence left Simon with the realization that he went to a realm where brainless kids content on YouTube is produced. But before Simon could question his own sanity, an uncanny baby walked up to greet him.
"Oh look!" said the baby, "New friends!"
"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!" shouted Simon in distress, "And quit using these innocent toons to mass produce a means of mass communication that belongs in a site that disposes wasted, spoiled or discarded matter in quantities of a relatively great capacity!"
Those words caused the content police to wash Simon's mouth out with soap.
"No bad words here," warned the baby, "only sunshine, laughing, smiling, kindness, and fun and games!"
"If that's how it is, then I don't want to be here anymore." said Simon, "Now where is the exit?"
"Did you say you want to draw?" asked the baby.
"That's not even close to what I asked!" said Simon angrily.
In the Villains' Hideout, M. Bison was lecturing his fellow villains about locations of the Cog-Finity Stones, when Violen decided to interrupt.
"Yeah, I'm sure it's around here somewhere." he said, "Maybe it's at home under your mattress!"
"DO NOT QUESTION MY AUTHORITAH!" shouted Bison.
"Okay, Mister Bull!" replied Violen.
Back in the kids' content universe, Simon was feeling quite annoyed, stressed out and rather anxious due to the environment of the dimension he was in. In spite of this, Simon had figured out a way to escape. Instead of Drawing a mediocre picture, Simon wrote down a memoir from a Thomas Edison novel, handed it to the talking baby in the hopes of putting him to sleep, and made an escape attempt. However, he soon realized that the door was just part of the wall. After many attempts, the school house turned out to be nothing but a piece of poster board which then fell apart, revealing a giant and overly saturated park. Thinking he wasn't seeing correctly, Simon took his glasses off to clean them. Once they were wiped, he put them back on only to spot Miss Miller near the playground. He ran to her and tried to talk to her.
"Miss Miller…" he said concerningly, "Why are you here with these planeless gremlins?!"
But Miss Miller didn't say anything. She appeared to be in some sort of trance, with a blank stare in her eyes, and a creepy smile on her face. But before Simon could say anything, the creepy looking baby and a bunch of other brainwashed toons arrived for a type of meeting of sorts.
"Hey glasses," said the baby, "Do you want to join us on our next adventure? It's called Learning Colors 2023 Freddy Fazbear WALL-E Disney Tiny Toon Moxxie Knolastname Fidget Spinner Muppets Fun!"
"What in the name of Wilbur and Orville Wright does that mean?!" asked Simon in confusion.
Almost immediately, the brainwashed toons begin dancing and singing a rather lazy rendition of the Finger Family song but with colors acting as the fingers. This left Simon more puzzled, and he began demanding answers. Soon, Bertie the Bus from "The Railway Series" books came by. Once Bertie stopped, a shadowy figure popped out of the bus, revealing himself to be none other than Smarty Weasel.
"It was you!" said Simon, "I should have known you were behind this!"
"What did you expect, four eyes?" asked Smarty, "I'm a weasel, I steal and I kidnap to make a fat sack of dough!"
"By exploiting toons for instant gratification?" asked Simon in shock, "But what about the bootlegging thing?"
"We thought about that," replied Smarty, "but we figured it would be cheaper to just spare their likenesses and just milk them dry for cash!"
"That's even worse!" said Simon, "You have completely gone past all of the limits of the law there!
"Did I…?" asked Smarty, "My goons and I are also running the Mouse's company! In fact our company, Doom Incorporated, bought it! This allows us to say and do whatever we please! Furthermore, our company don't take kindly to piracy of our intellectual properties!"
"Now that is just going full on monopoly!" said Simon.
"However, everything we have done thus far is just phase 1!" replied Smarty.
"Phase 1?" wondered Simon, "Looks like you're cooking up some diabolical plot in mind, aren't you?"
"Now, we will be releasing Phase 2, the Doom YouTube Channel!" added Smarty, "Non-stop assembly line style content for the kiddies, and ADVERTISING!"
"I won't let my brothers watch your evil show!" replied Simon, "I'll exercise parental discretion!"
"It won't help by any chance!" answered Smarty, "But by the time Phase 3 hits, we will be destroying all of the companies we bought by making content that the fans don't want, tell 'em we hate them, then blame the companies' failures on those fans, while we run with cash!"
"You know," wondered Simon, "I'm starting to think you're an even worse criminal than I have imagined!"
"It don't matter what ya thinks, Nerd," replied Smarty, "Because there ain't nothing' you can do about it no more! And as for you, Geek, I shall have you banished to the shadow realm!"
Smarty quickly chucked Simon into a portal that sent him to the Shadow Realm where Simon found himself in an even more scary situation than the Kids Universe.
