Namely, Mandark was in a full-stage panic while Mojo was pretty relaxed.
Suddenly, one of Aku's robots grabbed him. "This was a test, human boy," it said. "Set up by my master to gauge the depths of your villainy."
"It was just a test?" Mandark asked out of disbelief. "Aku isn't going to destroy my world?"
"Of course he is," The robot clarified. "But now you will observe the event as Aku's captive, not his apprentice."
"Speaking of which, where's that Susan girl?" Cherry wondered with shrugged shoulders.
Mandark looked wide-eyed and his left eye almost twitched at that name.
"She was here to ensure her universe is superior over this cartoon universe," The robot shamelessly explained. "And not only will it replace that universe, but also your universe containing adventures based on media you have an attachment to because you never took the time to meet people and get to know them personally and just enjoyed the company of fictional characters."
"...weirdly pointed statement." commented Lionel.
"This is a delicate procedure," said another robot. "We must engage the crystals carefully, or else the engine will overheat...and that will be fatal to us ALL!"
While in a rubble strewn corridor outside the robot factory, everyone else continued to work and do what they could in this final battle between good and evil.
"Mojo Jojo should be dropping energy crystals into the engine any second now." Blossom reported to the others.
"Unless he's changed his mind." Lu scoffed slightly.
"We'll know soon enough if he's succeeded!" Jack replied. "The countdown to self-destruct will be our signal to run for the warp room."
"So Mojo Jojo can send us home before RoboWorld blows up!" Bubbles added as she used her laser eyes.
"I cannot begin to enumerate the way this plan can go wrong." Dexter remarked.
"We are now in orbit above the doomed world!" Aku declared with a fanged grin. "Now, Mandark is preparing the Doomstare. You have very little time... would anyone like to surrender?"
KABOOM!
"Just a hunch, but I think that's a no." Cherry smirked.
"If he's right, then Mojo's plan has failed!" Atomix commented to Aku.
"Back this way!" Aku commanded firmly.
"Why are we retreating, Aku?" Vilgax scoffed. "I didn't take you for a coward!"
"Whereas, all along, I took you for a fool!" Aku replied as he took off suddenly before being followed. "It is time, Vilgax, for our heroes to see what their stubbornness will cost them!"
As the others pursued, Dexter doubled back and looked outside. "That is... my world!" he exclaimed.
"And technically our world, too!" Bubbles added.
"Still time to change your minds!" Aku warned smugly.
"First your world, then mine, until the next, until we cave!" Og remarked.
"And then, nobody anywhere will be safe!" Jack realized.
"Then it's time for Plan B," Cherry suggested before looking over. "You guys have a Plan B, right?" she then asked the others.
"Of course we do! You think we're amateurs or something?" Mike replied.
"Mike, we don't have powers like the others." Lu reminded the tomboy.
"Yeah, but we don't need superpowers or fighting skills to be awesome," Mike reassured the island girl. "Besides, we faced pirates before."
"Yeah, but those guys were jokes!" Lu replied. "Lancelot could've beaten them!"
"That may be so, but you did whatever you could to be brave enough to save your turtle." Mike reminded her.
"Even if we did most of the work for that along with Action Guy that one time." Og commented.
"Shh." Mike shushed him so not to ruin the moment.
"...well, alright," Lu responded. "I guess you make a good point."
"Yeah? See? You can do this," Mike smiled. "I believe in you, Lu. You're my friend."
"We're friends?!" Lu gasped with emotionally big anime-like eyes as sparkles shimmered everywhere.
"Well, of course we are, we both are." Mike replied as she put her arm around Og.
"Good enough for me!" Lu grinned.
"Now let's take down these bad guys, huh?" Mike suggested.
"Right, Mike!" Lu announced as she raised her fists in the air. "PRINCESS LU COMMANDS YOU ALL TO ASSIST HER IN YOUR ATTACK!"
"That's not exactly Plan B." Jack said to her.
"Oh, then what is it?" Lu wondered.
"Well, for one thing, we DO hit them with everything we have." Jack then began to explain.
"Destroy the ship." Atomix added.
"And US with it!" Dexter added.
"And at least know our worlds will be okay!" Blossom concluded.
In the engine room, things were still going down.
"Bolt heads!" shouted a Vilgax drone. "Handle that crystal carefully, you can't just jam it into place!"
"Jam... just reminds me of toast." Ed commented to himself.
"Not now, Ed, but just think about what he said," Eddy told his friend. "The jammer will be important to us."
"Jam? Wait!" Double D asked out of confusion until he realized. "Eddy! The-"
"YES!" Eddy interrupted before he pushed a certain button since he had a good idea to help out for once.
The robots suddenly shorted out, and Mojo's prison bubble popped. "Free! I have been freed, my imprisonment is at an end!" he exclaimed.
"That Dexter kid knew what he was doin' when he made this thing, Double D." commented Eddy.
"A pity its range isn't longer!" Double D responded as he and the others hid behind some debris.
"The controls are jammed!" Mojo realized as he hovered over once he was free from the bubble. "You! Ed! Strong child! Help me shift these levers!" he then commanded.
"Uh, okay, let's see what we can do." Ed replied as he helped out Mojo.
"Hi, Ed! It's me!" A certain ballerina popped out of the corner with a big, wide smile. "Your beautiful and sweet girlfriend, Dee Dee!"
"What the-? Get out of here!" Ed told her. "My girlfriend is Candy from Udrogoth! Not some ditzy ballerina!"
"Ditzy? How dare you!" Dee Dee glared before she cried suddenly. "You hate me! That's it! I'm keeping the ring and going back to Mother! I'll forgive you if you tell me something about gravy~" she then added with the same stupid smile, looking very off-model.
"Why would I? There's more important things than gravy!" Ed retorted as he pushed past her.
"Ah!" Dee Dee yelped as she was shoved aside before a young blonde girl who resembled her and Ed appeared and she lifted her up in the air. "Time for Plan B." she then said.
"Who was that poorly drawn broad?" Eddy asked.
"Looks like a worse version of Dexter's sister he's mentioned." Double D replied.
CHONK! CHONK! CHONK!
"Engine overheating!" The robots panicked at Ed and Mojo's efforts. "Destruct sequence initiated. Beginning countdown!"
"Was there a good point to that?" Ed asked Mojo.
"Yes!" Mojo replied as he explained. "The engineering robots can no longer stop the destruct sequence for they have destroyed the controls which might have spoiled our plans, but now they can't because-"
"Daddy, you have to listen to me, I'm from the future!" The blonde girl interrupted and told Ed, trying to manipulate him.
"Daddy? I ain't your daddy!" Ed glared.
"Yes, you are, in the future!" The girl stated. "My name is Michelle Hill and I'm the daughter of you and Dee Dee!"
"My last name is Monoboroster!" Ed retorted. "You got the wrong guy, now quit bugging me!"
"But Daddy!" Michelle piped up.
"You guys got any bright ideas now?" Ed asked his friends, trying to ignore Michelle and Dee Dee.
"Yeah, what now?" Double D added as he had twins beside him who resembled himself and a girl known as Juniper Lee.
"Now? WE RUN!" Eddy replied and suggested before they soon did that.
"We must meet the others at the warp room and we must hurry so we are not incinerated when RoboWorld explodes!" Mojo advised.
"If the ship lasts that long and-GET OFF OF ME!" Double D replied and complained as the random twins clung to him.
"I'm Layla Vincent." The girl said.
"And I'm Devin Vincent." The boy added.
"We're the twins of you and Juniper Lee." The twins said together.
"ENOUGH ALREADY!" Double D complained. "What are the other guys doing up there?!" he then wondered.
"So, where's my kid from the future?" Eddy wondered in deadpan.
"Right here, bitch," A tomboy voice said before showing a random girl who seemed to be a lazy mismatch of Eddy and someone else who had azure blue hair. "I'm Skipper Sampson, the daughter of you and Frida Suarez."
"...I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!" Eddy groaned. "Okay, this is just a big stupid distraction!"
"Whatever do you mean?" Michelle, Devin, Layla, and Skipper asked innocently.
"AAAAAAUGH!" The Eds screamed as these "kids" drove them crazy.
MEANWHILE...
"Engine overheating!" The robots' voices repeated. "Destruct sequence initiated. Beginning countdown."
"Mojo Jojo did it!" Atomix announced.
"Him and Ed, Edd, n Eddy!" Bubbles added.
"Hard as that is to believe." Dexter remarked flatly.
"Less talk, more action!" Jack suggested. "To the warp room! NOW!"
And so, everyone took off that way until Cherry found some sort of pen and bent down to pick it up as everyone else took off.
"Whatcha got there?" Lionel inquired curiously.
"Some kinda weird pen," Cherry said as she showed it to him. "Someone must've dropped it."
Lionel gave an impressed whistle. "Pretty swanky pen," he commented. "Could be important!"
"Yeah, sure looks like it," Cherry nodded. "Come on though, let's go see the others."
Lionel then went with Cherry after the others while they still had time.
In the meantime, the villains were discussing.
"Did you hear that?" Vilgax rhetorically asked Aku. "That monkey betrayed us!"
"Good! I was certain that betrayal would come from our apprentice, though perhaps Susan Test was able to get to him unlike the others falling for this Toonyverse spell we've been aligned with," Aku replied. "After all, Mandark's world is our target!"
"And you called ME a fool!" Vilgax mocked. "You miscalculated every step of the way!"
"As usual, you offer nothing constructive; just one complaint after another!" Aku retorted. "Surely even you don't think I'd leave the fate of Roboworld to chance!" he brought out a remote control. "In my hand I hold the master control that will shut down the destruct sequence-"
BA-DOWW!
KRA-SPAKK!
"Not anymore." declared Atomix as he lowered his glowing hand.
"Nice work, Alien Boy," Cherry smirked and nodded in approval. "Maybe I need to get to know your adventures better after all."
"Probably best to stick with mine and not doing those other movies on Cartoon Network with live-action actors for your Justiceverse adventures." Atomix suggested.
"Oddly specific, but okay..." Cherry nodded. "I'll see what I can do, but no promises on becoming a fan overnight."
"It's a good start, at least." responded Lionel.
"I was right all along!" Vilgax snapped as he fired laser eyes at Aku. "Your arrogance-your great weakness-has cost us our victory! You're the fool!"
Aku shapeshifted into a dragon and breathed fire on Vilgax. "That makes you a greater fool for following me!" he retorted.
"I should have taken charge from the beginning!" Vilgax glared at Aku as he was ensnared in the shape-shifting demon's tentacle as he became an octopus. "I'm doing so NOW!"
"Are you indeed?" Aku retorted.
"Don't those guys ever give it a rest?" Eddy scoffed.
"No. Both are pompous buffoons," Mandark simply clarified. "Unfit to lead, had this been MY plan-"
"You mean our plan, right?" Susan Test reminded him as she randomly appeared. "After all, I prefer your company over my twin sister and my dad says that lesbians are evil, so I believe the same thing."
"Oh, hi, Sus-an..." Mandark greeted until he seemed to look ready to snap and breakdown.
"Another random insert just like we faced before?" Double D pondered.
"What is going on around here?" Eddy wondered.
"And why would Mandark wanna hang around someone named Susan?" Ed added as Mandark looked like he was about to explode himself internally as that name was said again. "Doesn't he hate that name?"
"...the yellow kid is right!" Mandark sputtered, his eyes spiralling with rage. "I HATE THE NAME 'SUSAN'! IT'S LIKE POISON ON MY TONGUE! It sickens me to my core! And besides... my only true love is Dee Dee! Or, if that doesn't work out, Soyen Chen. At this point, I'm not picky."
"Say, can you tell us who you are again?" Cherry asked Susan. "After all, you seem so smart and interesting..."
"Are you stupid?" Susan glared.
"Hey! Cherry is not-" Lionel glared back, about to fight for Cherry if he had to like he often did.
However, the perky goth suddenly clamped her hand down on his mouth. "Oh, yes, I'm very unsuperior in mind compared to your superior intelligence," she then said, trying to make herself sound very stupid. "So could you say your name several times so I can get the hang of it?"
"Well, if I have to remind you, please allow me to," Susan smirked a bit. "I'm Susan Test-"
Mandark then began to foam at the mouth as the name was mentioned over and over again.
"Older sister to Johnny and Mary Test, my inferior siblings, and I, Susan Test, am such a genius, especially compared to Eugene Hamilton who forces us to call him Bling-Bling Boy, and I, Susan Test, am such a genius enough to have Dexter cheat on Blossom to be with me," Susan continued to brag about herself. "AND I, SUSAN TEST, WILL ENSURE THAT THIS CARTOON UNIVERSE IS THE SUPERIOR ONE IN THE WORLD, SO SAYS I! SUSAN! TEST! YAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she then continued and cackled.
"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDARK!" Mandark suddenly shouted as he lunged out and tackled Susan to the floor and began to attack her. "MY NAME IS MANDARK! MAAAANDARK! NOT SUSAN! I AM NOT SUSAN, DO YOU HEAR ME?! I! AM! NOT! SUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" he then roared as she seemed to quiver and melt into a puddle of black and white checkerboard pattern.
"...ohhhh." Lionel commented, surprised.
Cherry then smirked and crossed her arms.
"Wow... you saved me..." Mandark said to Cherry before grinning at her. "Maybe you can be my new sidekick."
"Dream on, Mandork," Cherry scoffed. "I did you a favor from Little Miss Susan Pest who seems crueler than the Susan Test I've known."
"Yeah! Plus she's with me!" Lionel added.
Mandark shrugged. "...ah, well." he relented.
"Is there anything else that needs to be done here?" Mike asked.
"No, Mike, I think we're good to go." Eddy replied.
"Great!" Mike nodded. "Say, you're a pretty good partner."
"Heh, maybe I do like you..." Eddy grinned hopefully for a moment.
Mike looked wide-eyed as she stepped away until Og stood in front of the tomboy protectively.
"Snap out of it, man!" Ed reminded his friend before hitting him in the back of the head. "You have Angelica."
"Yes, right, my princess, the only right girl for me!" Eddy suddenly said. "Let's blow this popsicle stand." he then told the others.
"Right," nodded Mojo. "Everyone, stand on the Warp Disc you arrived on. Mandark, you're with Dexter. I shall hit the return button, then leap to share the disc with Bubbles."
"And me and Lionel will just stand here and occasionally add dialogue or extra stuff so people are aware we're here to help out." Cherry added in a self-deprecating sort of way.
"Yeah, you know how it is!" Lionel beamed.
Soon, everyone got ready and set as needed as this seemed to be the big moment. Suddenly, random kids ran over, trying to go over to "their parents", but of course, they were just allusions.
"Ready? Set... GO!" Mojo began before he leapt over and joined the others in their tubes.
And then... WHAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOM!
"NOOOO! Now we'll never get our way!" Carissa Tennyson (the daughter of Ben and a Wacky Races OC) cried out.
"No one lives forever." Aaron Levin (the son of Kevin Levin and a Total Drama Island OC) shrugged at that.
"I didn't even get to explain my tragic story!" Bubsy Jojo (the son of Bubbles and Boomer) complained.
"Us neither!" Bud Santiago (the daughter of Max from Dragon Tales and Buttercup) and Serena Jojo (the daughter of Emmy from Dragon Tales and Brick) added.
Michelle, Devin, Layla, and Skipper screamed as they joined the others and began to be erased as the explosions happened and the Cartoon Cartoon heroes were being sent back home without any annoying or unnecessary inclusions from an inferior fanfic universe.
Dexter and Mandark materialized back in the suburbs of Huber.
"Success! We have returned!" exclaimed Dexter.
"Dexter! There you are!" beamed the real Dee Dee. "Oh, hey, Mandark! You got here just in time for the fireworks!" she pointed up at the explosion in the sky above.
"I always see fireworks whenever you're around, Dee Dee~" Mandark sighed happily.
"Why did you switch sides?" Dexter asked his rival suspiciously.
"Aku said the Deathstare was just a threat, he lied, and I could not allow the destruction of a world that has YOUR SISTER in it," Mandark clarified, almost smugly. "Even if it meant saving you as well."
"Saved by my seester?!" Dexter complained until he realized something. "Hey, wait! What do you mean?! We saved you!"
Dee Dee's best friends suddenly came over. "Lee Lee! Mee Mee! You made it in time for the fireworks!" she then beamed at them.
"Totally, Dee Dee!" Mee Mee smiled.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, Dee Dee!" Lee Lee added.
"I'm so glad you're here, Lee Lee and Mee Mee!" Dee Dee smiled.
"ENOUGH OF THIS INFERAL NAME GAME!" Dexter shouted.
The three girls just giggled as they danced around and enjoyed the fireworks together as best friends while the illusions of Mike Mazinsky and Juniper Lee began to vanish from existence as well as Blossom who was swooning over Mike.
"Well, at least that's a relief," Dexter said about that. "Maybe I should send Dee Dee and her friends to the moon or something," he then added with a grumble. "...it'll go on the list, but first, I must contact Blossom." he remarked as he skittered inside.
MEANWHILE, IN BELLWOOD...
"Back in Undertown..." Ben gave a quiet sigh. "I'm gonna miss Jack and Blossom, Cherry, Lionel, and the others. Even Dexter. At least I can get some chili fries... but it's gonna be boring."
Suddenly, a Panuncian sprang out of hiding and nearly took Ben's head off.
"Then again... maybe not!" Ben said before he turned into a tiger-like alien.
"LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHIN', KHYBER'S MONSTER DOG DISPATCHED TO HUNT ME DOWN!" boomed Rath in a voice like Randy Savage. "RATH IS GONNA SEND YOU TO THE DOG POIND YOU CRAWLED OUT OF! LET'S PARTAAY!"
And thus began another battle for Ben 10, but that's another story.
"NOOOOOO!" Ashlyn Pitstop cried out as she soon melted into a puddle like Susan Test.
OVER AT PEACH CREEK...
"It's good to be home!" Double D beamed.
"I'm gonna miss Mojo Jojo." Ed commented as the squirrel sat on his head.
"Yeah! He was a smart monkey, probably could've been a good partner for Professor Byrd," Eddy agreed. "Also we could've gotten rich, putting on shows with him as a main attraction!"
"Like that time Jake Long transferred with me and we had a Werewolf and Dragon battle." Mike said as she randomly appeared, but was dressed like a boy now.
The Eds looked deadpan at her in response.
"What? Guys, it's me, Mike," Mike reminded them. "Eddy, we used to date and you fought over me with Otto Rocket, but I'm dating Lil DeVille now because I'm a lesbian."
The Eds continued to look deadpan at her. Mike just looked at them and suddenly... BAM! POW! WHACK! Mike was left to be beaten and battered before melting into a black and white puddle.
"That'll teach her," Eddy grumbled as he walked off with the other Eds. "Come on, guys, let's go see if we can find Candy, Kimiko, and Angelica."
"And then we can get jawbreakers!" Ed beamed happily.
MEANWHILE...
Mike, Lu, and Og reappeared in Manhattan.
"Ah, home sweet home," said Mike. "Let's hope all that weirdness is totally done with."
"Tell me about it," Lu agreed. "It's bad enough when you bring your New York City diseases on MY island like hot dogs and shoes and hot dogs and light bulbs and hot dogs."
"You said hot dogs like three times." Og said to his cousin.
"Quiet, Og." Lu muttered a little.
Og just rolled his eyes at that and shook his head.
"Michelene?" One voice called out.
"Darling!" A second voice called out.
"Mom! Dad!" Mike beamed as she heard the voices right away and ran to them.
"So Mike does have parents," commented Lu. "Wonder what happened to those weirdos pretending to be her brother and sister?"
"I'm not quite certain." responded Og.
"Then I don't care," shrugged Lu. "Good riddance. I'm gonna get me more hot dogs!"
Mike's parents chuckled as they soon led Mike, Lu, and Og over to their home. A scarlet-colored wolf with blood red eyes and a shadow figure appeared, showing to be Jen and Jamie. The two tried to stalk after the trio only for a black and white wave to wipe over them and they vanished as well.
"As I was saying, you guys, New York, the best place in the world." Mike told Lu and Og with excitement.
ELSEWHERE, IN THE FAR FUTURE...
Jack looked around at his surroundings. "The universe is saved... at least, for now," he smiled. "But I will miss the others... especially those little Powerpuff Girls."
A noodle bot grinned and waved at the samurai who made it over.
"Cousin Jack, would you care for some noodles?" A young woman asked before she was shown to be Miyumi from Cherry's adventure with Scooby-Doo and the samurai sword.
"You got it, Cousin Miyumi," Jack nodded as they approached the stand together. "Innocent kids is what the fight for right is all about."
"You said it," Miyumi agreed and nodded. "Two noodles, please." she then requested.
The noodle bot nodded at both and soon went to prepare their orders.
"Sir! Are you really Samurai Jack?" A young child asked, approaching the samurai man hopefully. "There's a monster! Please come save us!"
Jack narrowed his eyes in a dramatic manner. "Hold that order," he said. "I'll be right back!" And, drawing his sword, he leapt into battle once more!
Miyumi then struck a pose and got ready to fight too.
"You sure Mirimoto gave you enough skill to face what I face?" Jack asked his cousin.
"Trust me, I've been through enough and plenty." Miyumi nodded as she struck a fighting pose not too dissimilar from Street Fighter.
And so, the two went into battle once they were back at home sweet home while Agent Honeydew was sent away.
THE CITY OF TOWNSVILLE... but enough about that.
"Thank you, Mojo Jojo!" Blossom smiled at the chimp. "You helped us save a whole world!"
"And maybe the entire universe." Buttercup added.
"You're a hero!" Bubbles concluded.
"No! I am NOT a hero!" Mojo declared before he left. "For the time being, I shall resume my true calling! Once more, I will become the master villain I was born to be, for I, Mooojo Jojo, will someday RULE THE WORLD! Which I have aided in saving, but for the sake of my own diabolical deeds!"
The girls just watched him go until they were given some very nice company.
"Girls?"
"Professor!" The girls beamed and flew over to hug their father figure/creator, feeling so happy to see him again.
"Where have you been?" The Professor asked the girls with a proud smile.
"Away! In Hyperspace!" Blossom replied out of excitement, sounding breathless. "We saved the universe!"
"We're so glad to be home, but we miss our new friends." Buttercup added.
"And Mojo Jojo was a hero!" Bubbles concluded gleefully. "Wait 'til you hear what happened!"
"Perhaps over dinner, Blossom has a call she can answer if she'd like to." The Professor replied to his daughters fondly.
"I do?" asked Blossom. "...oh! Heheh... I'd better go get that." And she flew inside.
"Crushes." Buttercup scoffed and rolled her spring green eyes.
Bubbles giggled. "I think Boomer is cute~" she then said.
"Eww, he's our cousin!" Buttercup reminded Bubbles.
"He doesn't have to be~" Bubbles said before winking, almost sounding raunchy for a moment.
"Bubbles, don't be gross!" Buttercup retorted.
Bubbles just giggled in response.
"Well, all right, Lionel, we helped out, we better get back home too." Cherry suggested as she and Lionel were in some sort of blank void.
"Are you sure this is an Equestrian portal, Cher?" Lionel asked as he looked around. "Something looks funny."
"Hmm..." Cherry paused as she looked around to see that he had a point. "Yeah, something DOES seem strange around here."
"Then it's time we figure out what's going on here!" Lionel declared.
"It must have something to do with this." Cherry guessed as she brought out the pen.
Soon, a portal spit them both out in some sort of dark void where several petrified statues were shown of various cartoon characters. Some that everyone knew, some that only a few people knew, and some were just randomly created.
Cherry and Lionel then landed on top of each other, though with Lionel on top of Cherry.
"LIONEL!" Cherry complained.
"Sorry, Cherry, I didn't let that happen, I swear!" Lionel reassured her before he got off and dusted her clean as he helped her up. "You know I would never let you get hurt."
"Of course you wouldn't, but I guess someone else would." Cherry replied calmly, just a bit miffed about the rough landing.
And so the both of them went on their way around the new area.
"What IS this place?" Lionel murmured.
"I don't know, but it's creeping me out," Cherry replied as they looked around. "Whoa, it's like every Cartoon Network, PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel character ever." she then pointed out.
"Along with a few other ones," Lionel added as he saw some they didn't recognize. "Here's some that were interfering with Billy and Mandy, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and Codename: Kids Next Door." he then pointed out.
"I don't like the looks of this." Cherry commented.
"The conquest is almost complete." A dark voice said suddenly.
"Who the heck said that?" asked Lionel.
"We're about to find out." replied Cherry.
"Have you gotten what you need?" A dark voice asked before looming over them. "Cindy?"
"Cindy?" Cherry asked out of confusion. "What? No, I'm Cherry." she then corrected.
"Funny, you look just like this girl I promised to help." The dark voice replied.
"Okay, well, that's not me and this is Lionel." Cherry then said.
"I'm from the 5th dimension!" Lionel announced and waved.
"Yeah, and I'm from Greendale, and who, may I ask, are you?" Cherry added and demanded as bravely as she could.
"They call me..." The voice said before stepping into the light to show his true form. He was a tall, muscular purple humanoid male masked by a black costume with various red X markings and a notable cybernetic arm. "Strike." he then added as he revealed his name and appearance to them.
"Okay, so what are you doing?" Lionel inquired. "And what's been going on with all this craziness?"
"Oh, you must be referring to the random inserts in this universe with people not associated or involved in this one, the Prime Universe." Strike replied.
"More or less, but if you're gonna say there's multiple Earths in the world with other versions of us, we already know," Cherry then said. "Like an anime/manga universe, one where the Justice League is the main core of that world, um... is there anything else?" she then stopped to think.
"Didn't you guys say there was one where somehow Atticus grew up in Equestria and lived with Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon or something?" Lionel asked her.
"Yeah, plus that one where Atticus and Patch are raised by Aladdin's family where he's a prince with super-strength like all of his lies to Princess Jasmine came true." Cherry agreed and added.
"But yeah, we know all about other universes," Lionel then told Strike before he smirked to the fourth wall. "And you all know how much I know about other universes and dimensions."
"Yes, he really does." Cherry added with a nod to the readers as well.
"Well, I come from the world known as The Toonyverse and I'm here at the request of one Cynthia Butler who matches your description, but is a lot smaller." Strike then told them with a sharp gesture at Cherry for a moment.
"Okay, why are you doing all this?" Lionel asked. "And who put you up to this?"
"I asked him to come here." A young voice said right behind Cherry and Lionel.
The two blinked and turned around to see a plucky girl with tan skin, big glasses, long dark brown hair, a black hoodie, and blue pants that seemed to cover her shoes in a Timmy Turner fashion.
"Um, hi." Cherry greeted with a small wave.
"Greetings," The girl replied as she pushed her glasses back. "The name is Butler. Cindy Butler." she then told the two of them.
"Uh, hi," said Lionel. "I guess this is your pen?" he asked, holding up the pen in question.
"Ah, I've been looking for that," Cindy said as she reached out to take it. "Thank you."
"No problem, kid," Cherry shrugged. "So, uh, should we get out of here?"
"I'm afraid you both need to stay here a bit longer because you ARE needed in what Strike and I agreed on." Cindy replied.
"What?!" Cherry and Lionel asked.
"They're the ones, and I think you know it's definitely her." Cindy told Strike as she pointed at Cherry behind her.
"Okay, whaddo you want with us?" asked Lionel.
"You will find out soon," Cindy said before facing Strike. "I'm ready."
"Very well, did you find the keys you needed?" Strike nodded and then asked.
"I have..." Cindy replied as she showed the five keys that represented Elements of the Earth. "'The Sun Stone, the Water Stone, the Tree Stone, the Wind Stone, and the Stone Stone." she then said before approaching a door with Strike as Cherry and Lionel followed behind them, seeing the various statues of cartoon characters with red X's on them.
Strike nodded and soon put each of the stones in place and soon there was a big glowing aura that shined up and then came right down on Cindy, igniting her with some sort of power. "This will ensure young Cynthia will have the abilities needed to defeat who needs to be permanently erased, that is one part of our agreement." he then began to tell Cherry and Lionel.
Both of them nodded in response, curious to see where this was going.
