Snippet 17- The Adventure of Ultradimension Peashy
Timeline- During 'Law & Order: Leanbox- Guilt Tripped'.
*Planeptune Guild, Ultradimension*
"Come on, Iffy! Why can't Pea wear her normal clothes?" Peashy complained, dressed in a little sailor school uniform and skirt with matching sneakers.
"I told you already, we don't want the criminals to know that you're the CPU Yellow Heart," IF sighed as she braided Peashy's hair. "We wanna catch the bad guys by surprise, so you can beat them up without innocent kids getting in trouble. Okay?"
"...Okaaaaay," Peashy pouted. "Pea hopes she can beat 'em up real good, then!"
"I'm sure you will. There, that should do it. Alright, I'm gonna go drop you off where the last kid was kidnapped. Remember to act normal, okay?"
"Okay, Iffy!" Peashy nodded.
*Some time later...*
"Ugghhhh..." Peashy moaned as she slowly came to, her head feeling groggy... As her eyes re-focused, she realized she was in a stone-walled room with several other kids from 4-10 years of age.
"Hey, you're awake!" One of the kids spoke up. "You okay?"
"Pea feels weird..." the little CPU moaned, trying to shake her head to clear it.
"Take it easy, it'll wear off. We all felt like that when we woke up after getting thrown in here," one of the older kids said.
"You all got... kidnapped?" Peashy grunted, laying back down.
"Yeah, by this crazy mad doctor! He wants to feed us to his pet, he says!" An NPC girl wailed in distress. "A lot of them are already gone...!" (sob)
"Hey, I'm sure the police will be here soon!" An older kid tried to reassure her.
"You always say that!" said an NPC boy about the same age. "When, huh? When are they gonna get here, huh?"
"Well, there's so many of us here, the cops have GOTTA noticed by now!" the first kid shot back.
"That doesn't mean they know where we are!"
"Stop fighting!" Peashy shouted. "Pea gets sad when kids yell at each other...!" She managed to sit up again, her head mostly clear now. "Um, if there's so many of us here, can't we just, um, pile on that mad doctor or something?"
"No way! He's got scary robots with zappers!" a six-year-old boy shook his head. "There's no way!"
"Pea could beat up the robots, though!" Peashy exclaimed confidently.
"Yeah, right! You're only five! They'd zap you before you threw a punch!" an older boy denied her.
"But Pea's really strong!" the little blonde protested. Just then, sounds were heard behind a door, the sound of a lock being opened, before the door swung open to reveal a balding white haired man with a wild mustache and a lanky build. Two black-colored robots entered right after him, most of the younger kids backing away in fear.
"Zo..." the mad doctor looked about. "Vich one of you zhall be ze meal for my pet zpider today?"
"S-spider...?!" Peashy's eyes went blank, recalling her recent encounter with Infermon. "NO! I don't wanna be eaten by a giant spider! Not me!"
"Ahahahaha! My pet loves ze ones who zquirm and zqueal! Take her!" A robot rolled forward, zapping Peashy with a taser, causing her to fall over paralyzed! It then picked up with its other arm, carrying her out of the room, several kids crying in despair for the victim...
*Spider Chamber*
Peashy screamed as she was thrown down a pit, only to hit a large spider web! Trying to stand, her face went pale as she saw a giant spider with a goofy cartoon face crawl up! "NO! Get away from Pea...!"
"Yesssss! Sssscream for me!" the spider spoke, shooting out spider silk and wrapping her up tight! "I love when they wiggle and ssssqueal! Any lasssst wordsssss?"
Peashy gulped, sweat streaming down her face... if this didn't work, she was dead! "A... ACCESS!" she cried as loud as she could, suddenly engulfed in a pillar of light!
"What?!" the spider flinched away from the brightness... When it faded, in the little girl's place was a much more mature blonde woman, who began to flex her muscles... a few silk strands, snapped, then a few more... Yellow Heart gritted her teeth as she slowly stood up, more and more silk strands snapping at a rapid pace... "Uh-oh." The giant spider quickly began skittering backwards as the CPU broke completely free and gave chase, her angry face frightening it to no end! But then the spider hit the wall, unable to flee any further!
"Take this! And that! And THAT!" Yellow screamed as she socked the giant spider several times in the abdomen, before grabbing its head and shoulder throwing it into the center of the web! She then jumped and stomped on the spider several times, the arachnid squealing in pain! Yellow then lifted the spider over her head, spinning around several times before hurling it back down, the centripetal force causing the web to detach from the wall, the spider now hanging from the ceiling, completely wrapped up in its own webbing! Yellow Heart kicked it a few more times for good measure, before flying back up to where the mad doctor had been watching.
"Thiz cannot be! A CPU?!" the doctor cried in shock and terror. "Robotz, attack!" he ordered before fleeing. But the robots proved no match for Yellow Heart, who easily sliced the first one apart with her claws, then kicked the other one down the pit, a crumpling thud heard a few seconds later! Yellow dusted her hands off a bit as she looked back at the trapped spider, nodding in satisfaction. "Serves you right, you overgrown bug!" That done, she flew down the hallway, back to where the kids were being held, slicing apart the door with her claws and kicking it aside!
"Who are you?!" One of the kids gasped.
"Ta-da! It's Yellow Heart! I just beat up the bad spider and the robots, and the mad doctor ran away! And now Yellow's here to rescue you!" Several of the children broke into cheers at hearing this.
"B-but what happened to that Pea...?" one kid asked.
"Silly! I am Pea!" Yellow exclaimed, reverting to normal. "See?"
"No way! You were a CPU the whole time?!" an older boy gasped in disbelief.
"That's right! Iffy told Pea to get kidnapped so we could save you!" Peashy nodded and grinned. "Now come on, we're outta here!" She promptly ran out of the room, the kids quickly following after her...
*Outside...*
It took Peashy a little longer than she would have liked to find a door leading outside, but eventually she did, leading the other kids out into the sunlight. It appeared they had been held in an old stone castle next to a forest, with only a gravel road leading out. "Yay! We're out!"
"But where do we go?" an older kid asked.
"Um... Iffy said that she would be tracking Pea when she got kidnapped," Peashy recalled. "Maybe Iffy will be here soon?"
"Is Iffy a cop?" another kid asked.
"Um... Iffy's a Guild a-gent, whatever that is," Peashy replied. "But, she helps me and Ploot and Neptuna beat up the bad guys sometimes!"
"Guild agent..." an older kid repeated. "Okay, so she's like a cop, then!"
"I guess," Peashy shrugged... but then they heard mechanical noises, turning to see the mad doctor approaching piloting a large robot spider, several children crying out in fear!
"You kidz are not going anywhere!" the doctor exclaimed angrily. "I vill kill you all and feed you to my pet zat way! Vere iz your CPU now?!"
"I'm right here!" Peashy yelled. "TRANSFORM!" she assumed her HDD form again, flying up to confront the mad doctor face to face! "You're a really bad guy, and Yellow's gonna beat you up really bad!"
"Ve zhall zee!" the doctor proclaimed, pressing a button, the robot shooting a laser that Yellow Heart easily dodged! He then shot something like spider silk, only for Yellow to easily cut it apart with her claws! "Juzt die already!" he yelled, the spider swinging one its limbs and knocking Yellow into the roof of the castle!
But the CPU quickly recovered, taking to the air once more... "That's it! Now I'm really mad at you!" Yellow roared, glowing with power! "EXE Drive- Carnage Claw!" She started savagely slashing apart the machine, then knocking it into the air, before flying up high and coming back down with her leg outstretched, plowing right through the robo-spider, causing an explosion! "Take THAT, you bad man!"
"She did it! She beat him!" one of the kids exclaimed, the others cheering in joy and relief! Just then, they saw what appeared to be several hovercraft approaching! "Who are those guys?"
"I hope it's the cops!" another kid said worriedly.
Yellow Heart flew up to meet the hovercraft, declaring, "Okay, are you good guys or bad guys? 'Cause if you're bad guys, Yellow's gonna cut you all to pieces!"
"Take it easy, Peashy, it's me!" a familiar voice called from the lead hovercraft.
"Iffy!" Yellow gasped in joy. "There you are! What took you so long?"
"We lost your tracker's signal," IF responded. "But there was no mistaking that explosion! Are the kids safe?"
"Yep! Yellow saved them all! And beat up the bad doctor too!"
"Okay, good job! We're gonna set down now, okay?" With that, the hovercraft descended to the ground, IF and several Guild agents disembarking to check on the children, Peashy landing and reverting to normal soon afterward.
"Hey, I think I found the kidnapper!" one agent yelled, pulling the mad doctor out of some wreckage. "Looks like he's still breathing..."
"Take him to jail, then!" Peashy ordered. "Forever and ever!"
"Don't worry, we will," IF assured her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You did really good today, Peashy. I'll be sure to let Mama Neptune know what a good job you did next time she comes over, okay?"
"Yay!" Peashy threw up her hands in joy. "Yeah, Pea's not scared of big spiders anymore! You shoulda seen what Pea did to that other one! Pow! Bam! Whack! He was easy compared to that scary one on the airship!"
"Okay, okay, good," IF nodded. "Anyway, let's go and have the med team look at you and make sure you didn't get any boo-boos, okay?"
"Pea's fine," Peashy grumbled as IF lead her over to the nurse...
