Hey guys, CillianChamp here, I want to apologize for the delay on this chapter. I have to focus on some personal issues. But, don't you worry, I'm back now. One month ago, I started writing a story that changed everything. A while back, I was a bit burnt out of movies and I've decided to write a story like this one. Don't get me wrong, I love a good movie as much as the next guy. But most movies make me a bit, you know. Feel that superhero movies are like they're three hour long epics with impossibly high stakes and featuring creative risks that ultimately amount to minor variants of the same old heroes we've been watching for the past fifty years. If that's your thing, cool, you do you. No skin off my ass, but I want something different and fun. So, I've begun doing some research on Family Matters. I watched that old sitcom and found the character, Steve Urkel, funny, and I've decided to write this epic story about him. So, here's the idea for this story so far to make it a big crossover epic story.
Urkel is an epic action-adventure comedy story that I came up with. There'll be a couple of characters from different sitcoms making an appearance in this story. So, here are the characters I chose to make an appearance.
There's Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell from Sister, Sister. They're gonna be narrators in this story and are currently breaking the fourth wall break while telling this story. In the future chapters, they will interact the heroes in this story.
Then, there's T.J. Henderson from Smart Guy, he's going to make an appearance in one of the future chapters, and I hope you all will love it.
Then, there's Zack Morris from Saved by the Bells, both the original and the revival, he's going to make an appearance in one of the future chapters, as well.
Then, there's Moesha Mitchell from Moesha, she's going to make an appearance in this story.
And finally, Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey from The Facts of Life, will make an appearance in this chapter.
And, I forgot to add this, Dr. Robotnik will appear in this story, starting with this chapter. So, I'm going to add him in as a young man before he meets Sonic the Hedgehog, who will appear in the final battle.
I want to make sure you all enjoy this story.
So, moving on. I came up with the idea of adding an army of villains who works for the Big Bad of this story. And while I was working on ideas, I've been dumpster diving in the public domain, and I found one villain who works for the main villain. Landor, the Maker of Monsters. It's more of a Frankenstein knock-off. Landor was created by Speed Comics back in 1939. He was a mad scientist obsessed with mastering the secrets of life. As the name indicates, he specialized in making monsters, mostly by combining body parts salvaged from various corpses and bringing the results to life.
While trying to bring his first creation to life, a pair of adventurers, Anthony Jack Terrance and his finance, Marcia, sought shelter in Landor's castle. When Landor realized that his creature fancied Marcia, he tried to restrain her. But the monster wasn't keen on seeing a strange man hurt Marcia and turned on his creator. Ultimately, Jack managed to fight off the monster, killing him in the process before escaping the castle. Somehow, the fight started a fire that quickly spread, burning through the entire structure. Landor survived, but he was burned so badly that he was reduced to a ghastly, mummy-like creature.
I happened to enjoy reading Landor because he ran for eleven issues, and why not add him to the story as one of the villains?
Moving on, on December 23, this year marks the twenty-sixth anniversary of the death of Michelle Thomas, the actress who played Myra Monkhouse on Family Matters, and in honor of her death, I've decided to write this story.
So, that's about it. I thought it'll be fun doing this, and I can't wait to continue this story and show you guys more chapters.
So, thank you all so much for reading my announcement. I'm sorry for the delay, it's all over now. I can't wait to continue this story, and I will see you all later.
In prison, Tamera walks down the hallways before turning to the readers.
"While Steve, Vanoss, and Delirious are heading to New Orleans, Laurine and Past Steve saw Bree in the middle of nowhere, and Carl, Cillian, Naomi, Wildcat, Marcel, and Melody are in New Orleans, let's focus on the rest of the Winslow family." Tamera said, narrating before seeing Eddie working out. "Edward James Arthur Winslow, long-time boyfriend of Greta McClure, is getting ready for his release. Like we said back in the beginning of the story, Eddie made a sweet promise that he'd marry her. And he stood by that promise."
Tamera sees someone ahead of her.
"Who's that?" Tamera asked herself.
Eddie's working out and sees someone. It's Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey doing a story. She looks around and finds Eddie in his cell. Eddie was preparing for his release.
"Excuse me, Eddie Winslow? I'm Dorothy Ramsey from Wake Up with Dorothy." Dorothy said.
"Look, whatever it is, I'm not interested." Eddie said.
"I'm actually here about a story I'm working on. I was hoping we could talk about your work." Dorothy said.
"Okay, why?" Eddie asked.
"Look, there are a lot of crimes that the Phantom and his army committed. The Warden came to me and said that you've been investigating criminals who are on his payroll, so I would like to interview you for my show." Dorothy said.
"Oh, okay." Eddie said. "What do you want to know?"
"Everything." Dorothy said, holding up her tape recorder.
"My dad discovered the Phantom back in 1998. He told me that there were criminals on his payroll, so he and Commissioner Geiss arranged an arrest. My former best friend's ex-girlfriend witnessed a crime and told me about it. I alerted the FBI to take her away to put her in the witness protection program and fake her death, which led to my arrest. After the trial, I was sentenced to twenty-five years here." Eddie said. "It took me years to find more information on the Phantom."
"So, you've been hunting him down, huh?" Dorothy asked.
"Yeah." Eddie said. "After Geiss retired, my dad was promoted to commissioner in the year 2010."
"The warden told me you've been scheduled to be released." Dorothy said.
"Yeah, and while I was in prison, I felt guilty for hurting my former best friend's feelings. And I hope he can forgive me for what happened." Eddie said, expressing his remorse for Steve's feelings.
"And what would you say to him?" Dorothy asked.
"I would tell him that I'm sorry." Eddie said, continue to feel remorse.
Tamera nodded at Eddie's interview and his release from prison, before turning to the readers.
"Now, due to Eddie's being released, let's see what happened." Tamera said, continue to narrate.
Eddie arrives to the address where his longtime girlfriend, Greta McClure, is waiting for him. He remembers when Laura told him the whole story back in 1996 about how she and her father, Dave had a falling out with each other because she was still dating him. He immediately issued her an ultimatum: either she had to stop dating Eddie or be cut off without a cent. She chose to keep dating him, and she has struggled ever since her father not only disowned her but also cut her off financially. No money for textbooks, make up, clothes, everything. Greta had to take on two jobs to make ends meet.
Eddie knocks on the door and Greta answers it.
"Welcome home." Greta said, smiling.
"Thanks." Eddie said.
Both Eddie and Greta make out inside the house after he enters it.
Tia decided to look away to continue the story.
"Let's focus on another Winslow." Tia said, continue narrating the story.
Tia enters the door, which leads to the mental institute. She walks down the hallway and sees Laura Winslow sitting on her bed.
"Here we are in this hospital, where we can see Laura Winslow sitting on her bed in her room. She's been struggling mentally, like we said. Her best friend, Maxine Johnson-Faldo, stayed right beside her until she felt better. Let's see what's going on with her now." Tia said.
Maxine walks down the hallway to visit her best friend.
"Hi, Laura." Maxine said, gently.
"Hi." Laura said, calming.
"I heard that the doctor says you're going to be released later." Maxine said. "You seem excited, huh?"
"Yeah, I don't know if I can go home." Laura said.
"You can stay with me and Waldo if you want. We have enough room." Maxine said, offering Laura a place to stay.
"Okay. I'll try that." Laura said. "Any word from Steve?"
"No. But, he and his wife, Naomi, are away for the trip, so they asked me to mind their kids." Maxine said.
"Okay." Laura said. "You know. You never told me how did Waldo take you back?"
"Well, it turns out he had no intentions of ending our relationship. His cousin, Bob—you remember him—who we set you up for a blind date for that dance marathon? Well, screwed up the postcards. It turns out Bob wants to end his relationship with a girlfriend of his." Maxine said, explaining the real reason.
"So, all of that was a misunderstanding?" Laura asked.
"That's right." Maxine said.
As the conversation continued, Tia walked away. She sees Tamera walk by.
"Shall we?" Tia asked.
"Let's." Tamera said before entering the door.
Tia and Tamera walked down the hallway of an apartment building before turning to the readers.
"Judy Winslow, the youngest of the three kids. After 2000, she took in 3J like Carl and Harriette's orders to protect him from Laura's mental attack after her escape. She grew up and became a artist." Tia said.
"That's right, her artwork were amazing. She makes good storyboards." Tamera said to her sister before turning to the readers. "You guys ever see those big budget movies with their beautiful, fancy storyboards that are total works of art that belong in museums and art galleries long after a movie has been released?"
"Ours are not like that." Tia said to the readers. "We draw stick figures. Sorry."
"When 3J's became an adult, he got married and remained in contact with Judy." Tamera said. "She has her own art studio in, oh, she's in New Orleans."
Tia turns to her sister.
"She does?" Tia asked. "Oh, oh well. Let's see what Judy's been doing."
Judy is finishing up her artwork for the upcoming auction. She worked so hard on it. She hears her phone ringing and answers it.
"Hello?" Judy asked. "Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm finishing up painting my artwork. Is everything all set up for the auction tonight? Where? The nightclub, got it. Okay, thanks."
Judy hangs up her phone and finishes up her painting. She washes her paintbrushes and prepares for the auction. Tia and Tamera continues to narrate the story.
"Unlike Eddie and Laura who are trying to get their lives back on track, Judy's the only one who succeed in life." Tia said.
"Instead of keeping the money from selling her paintings in the auction for herself, she sent the half of it to her family." Tamera said. "Which it was the right thing to do. Let's see her right now."
Judy prepares to get change for the nightclub auction. She grabbed the dry artwork and head to the nightclub.
"And now, we'll leave the three Winslow kids there." Tia said. "Judy will join the heroes."
"What about their cousin? Richie?" Tamera asked.
"Oh, I forgot about him." Tia said, walking through the door and leave the apartment.
At the cemetery, Tia sees Richie looking at his father's grave before turning to the reader.
"After Laura's 22nd birthday fiasco, Richie discovers something from his mother, Rachel. She told him about his late father, Robert who died before he was born. He remain touch with 3J. After what happened, he went to college, got into law school, and became a District Attorney." Tia said. "And as of 3J, he became the assistant DA, allying with his own foster cousin."
"But, when 3J has an terrible car wreck, he lost his voice and became a mute." Tamera said. "Richie hires an interrupter to speak for him. The interrupter is a beautiful woman. And after that, she and 3J got married, while Richie marries Maxine's niece, Kelsey Webster."
"Now, we both don't have time to see what they're doing right now, but let's head back to see what happened after the previous chapter of this story." Tia said.
Past Steve and Laurine sees Bree from across the street and none of them had anything to say.
"Who is she?" Past Steve asked.
"I don't know." Laurine said in shocked before deciding to say something. "Uh, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, I just got lost." Bree said, seeing a car. "Who's that?"
Laurine and Past Steve sees a car driving by. It was Steve, Vanoss and Delirious who are in that car.
"Hey." Laurine said to Steve.
"Laurine? What are you doing here?" Steve asked.
"It's a long story, but can you give us a ride to wherever you're going?" Laurine asked.
"Sure, get in." Steve said before turning to Bree. "You too."
Laurine and Bree gets in the car. Steve sees his past self for the first time.
"Oh, whoever you are, stop copying me and get in the car." Steve said to his past self.
"Wait, hold on, I'm not copying you." Past Steve said as his future self grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the back seat.
"Not buying." Steve said before start driving the car. "Look, when we arriving to New Orleans, we'll staying in a bed and breakfasts."
"Where are we gonna find a room?" Laurine asked.
"I think we can find some that's vacant." Bree said.
"Alright, I think it's a good idea." Vanoss said.
"Fine! We'll find a room." Steve said, continue to drive.
Steve's car continues to drive away to New Orleans.
At the same time, Carl, Cillian, Naomi, Melody, Wildcat and Marcel are in New Orleans. The city is enjoying having fun.
"Oh man, I love New Orleans." Cillian said. "This city is the most party one. My brother loved this place."
"I know. So, we're going to have to spend a night here." Carl said. "Hotel, or bed and breakfast won't hurt for one night."
"I think it won't be that bad." Cillian said. "I'll pay for mine."
"No, no, no. I will." Carl said to Cillian. "It's a least I can do."
"No, Carl, I'll pay for my room, you can pay for yours." Cillian said.
"You sure?" Carl asked, smiling.
"I'm sure." Cillian said.
"Okay." Carl said.
"I'm gonna go to a motel. See ya." Melody said, walking away from the group.
Cillian and Carl, shrugs.
Steve, Past Steve, Vanoss, Delirious, Laurine, and Bree are spending the night in separate rooms at bed and breakfasts on the opposite side of New Orleans.
Bree is in their room with Laurine. Laurine, however, is unable to sleep.
"Shit." Laurine said.
"What?" Bree asked. "Can't sleep?"
"No, it's bullshit." Laurine said to Bree before turning the lights on.
"I know, right? I'm just being friendly to ask." Bree said.
"Oh, thanks for asking. My name's Laurine." Laurine said.
"I'm Bree." Bree said. "You live in Chicago?"
"Yeah, I live there with my grandmother and my twin sister." Laurine said.
"Cool! I live there with my parents and my four sisters." Bree said.
"Oh, cool! I always wanted to meet a quintuple." Laurine said, smiling. "I made be older than you, but you just became my best friend forever."
"Really?" Bree asked, smiling.
In the other bedroom, Steve, Past Steve, Vanoss and Delirious are trying to sleep. Vanoss's the first one to get up.
"Can you believe it, Delirious? There's two of him." Vanoss said to his best friend.
"I know. It's weird!" Delirious said.
"Can you imagine?" Vanoss asked. "Listen, no offense on making you cancelling your weekend with your girls."
"Ah, it's okay. I'll let Liz spending more time with them." Delirious said to his best friend.
"You two do know I can hear your conversations, by the way, right?" Past Steve asked.
"Oh, sorry." Vanoss said. "It's just we're shocked to see both versions of you."
"I mean, what year you're from?" Delirious asked.
"Oh, I'm June 12, 1997, the eve of my twenty-first birthday. You see, my time machine was acting up recently and it transported me to this time." Past Steve said. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you two? We never got a chance to introduce to each other."
"Oh, I'm Vanoss." Vanoss said.
"And I'm Delirious." Delirious said.
"Nice to meet you two." Past Steve said.
"Do you three idiots have to talk in the middle of the fucking night?" Steve asked, getting irritated before turning on the lights. "So how about you guys can shut up and go to sleep?!"
"Listen, Steve. It's only ten. Why not we go down to the nightclub and have a beer?" Vanoss asked.
"No." Steve said. "I just want to get some sleep."
Delirious turns to Past Steve.
"What about you? Gives you a chance to celebrate your twenty-first birthday." Deliroius said to Past Steve.
"Well, I could use a drink." Past Steve said. "I remember one time back in 1991, I was at Maxine's rooftop party, and a bully I know, Willie Fuffner spikes the punch with whiskey as revenge for humiliating me in a boxing match."
Steve turns to his past self.
"And we tumbles from the rooftop." Steve said, finishing what his past self say.
"Yeah, and then..." Past Steve said.
"Rachel must pull me to safety. She later admits she never has practiced tightrope walking but she succeeds in rescuing me." Both versions of Steve said in unison.
Steve was shocked that Past Steve really is his past self.
"You really are my past self." Steve said.
"And you're my future self." Past Steve said.
The door knocks and Laurine enters.
"Hey, me and Bree are going down to the nightclub to have a few drinks. Wanna come?" Laurine asked.
"Sure." Vanoss said, getting up.
"Yeah!" Delirious said, getting up.
"I can drink." Past Steve said, getting up.
Laurine turns to Steve.
"What about you?" Laurine asked.
Steve knew he has no choice and gets up.
"Come on then, one quick beer." Steve said. "You guys got your IDs?"
"Yeah." Past Steve said.
I got a fake one." Bree said, holding up her fake ID.
Steve examines it. "You do realizes that possessing a fake ID is against the law, right?" He asked.
"I know, but you can look the other way, right?" Bree asked.
"Alright, but I wasn't looking." Steve said, agreeing just this once.
"Okay, I'll see you and your past self were on the toilet." Bree said.
Vanoss, Delirious, and Laurine laughs as they left the room. After they left, the room's TV's turned on and Tia appeared on screen as an anchor-woman in order to continue narrating the story.
"This just in, the heroes left the Beds and Breakfast to go out to enjoy themselves in New Orleans." Tia said breaking the news. "That's right, they are going to the nightclub. But, not just any nightclub, no, no, no, no. This nightclub is owned by none other than a familiar face that Steve knows. Now, we turned to Tamera, reporting. Come in, Tamera."
In the nightclub, Tamera was reporting.
"Here we are in this lovely nightclub called Stefan's. I'm here enjoying the lovely place. I've heard about this club. Decent meal, lovely cabaret, you know, a magician, a singer, and a good comedian." Tamera said before seeing a couple of villains. "Oh, boy."
The members of the Phantom's group are Midnight Crawler, and Cillian's estrange relatives, his parents are Calvin and Marie Darcy, and his uncle Frank Darcy aka the White Dragon.
"Tamera, what'd you see?" Tia asked.
"I see the members of the Phantom's legion." Tamera said. "The members are Midnight Crawler and Cillian's estranged family."
Tamera turns to the readers.
"One of the relatives is Frank Darcy, aka The White Dragon. He's a racist supervillain." Tia said. "I don't know why Cillian's related to the guy."
"Me too." Tia said. "Where are our heroes?"
Tamera looks around and sees them.
"I found them." Tamera said.
Steve, Past Steve, Vanoss, Delirious, Laurine, and Bree are seated at a table eating. Their table is situated very close to the stage where a singer is performing.
"Amazing place, isn't it?" Steve asked.
"I know. So, since we're having a nice break, what do you guys say if we can get to know each other." Past Steve said.
"He's right." Steve said before turning to Bree. "So, let's start with you."
"Okay." Bree said. "I'm Lorcan Darcy, but my friends call me Bree. I was named after Cillian Darcy's triplet brother Lorcan, my hero, who may rest in peace. I'm a quintuplet, and I'm bisexual."
"Wait, Cillian Darcy?" Vanoss asked.
"Yeah, he was a superhero, and now he's a podcaster." Bree said.
"Oh yeah, he's pretty funny when he made fun of Terroriser." Delirious said before laughing.
"I listened to that. He's pretty good." Steve said before turning to Bree. "Listen, Bree. You're the fan of the Darcy Triplets, what's Cillian's story anyway?"
"Well, Cillian retired from being a superhero after his entire team died in a tragic bomb explosion. His brother/my role model was getting married there. He and his ex-girlfriend Emily Pond were the living two survivors. After the incident, Emily left him to become a nun. In Italy." Bree said.
"She joined the convent?!" Both versions of Steve asked in unison.
"Oh yeah. I heard that Cillian was planning on propose to her, but she left. Dumped him." Bree said. "Saddest story."
"Reminds me of the same break up I had. Back in January, me and my girlfriend Liz Katz, well, we broke up. We had bad bumps, but we decided to remain as friends. Right now, I'm gonna have to tell my daughters why I had to delay." Delirious said.
"I gotta asked. Who are your daughters?" Past Steve asked.
"Babylirious, she was born back in 2020, and Littlelirious, she was born a year later." Delirious said.
"Well, at least, you're pulling through." Laurine said.
"She's right, Delirious. Once we're done with this mission, you can go back to your daughters." Steve said.
"Okay, I appreciated it." Delirious said.
"Okay, Bree, what about you?" Laurine asked.
"Yeah, you're Lorcan's namesake, right?" Steve asked.
"Oh yeah, he was my hero. Lorcan taught me everything he knows. He was my role model and my idol. Right before he died, he told me that Cillian will finish up what he started." Bree said.
"Tell me, what were you doing out in the middle of nowhere before they showed up?" Past Steve asked.
"Has to escape from the governor because he ordered that all Latino citizens in Chicago to be arrested." Bree said.
"Joseph Finn?" Steve asked. "I hate that guy."
"Yeah, I heard he's Cillian Darcy's arch-nemesis because they've been fighting for years. After their last battle, they made a deal as long Cillian stop being a hero." Bree said.
Past Steve turns to his future self.
"What about you?" Past Steve asked.
Steve looks down and makes a fist in anger.
"Me? Well, I lost the first girl I ever know and loved." Steve said.
"Who?" Past Steve asked.
"Myra." Steve said. "She died. And I regretted getting that stupid makeover. I want to make things right by going after the Phantom."
"We'll get him, Steve. I promise you that." Vanoss said.
"Okay, come on. Drink up." Steve said. "We'll have another one here anyway."
Tamera smiles as she sees them drinking their drinks before seeing Carl's group arriving.
"Tia, this story's getting interesting." Tamera said, smiling. "Commissioner Winslow's group has just arrived."
"Let's see where this is going." Tia said.
Steve drinks his drink and sees Carl with Naomi, Cillian, Wildcat and Marcel arriving.
"Carl! Carl, over here!" Steve said, calling out to Carl.
"Hello, Steve." Carl said, greeting his old friend and shakes his hand.
Steve kisses his wife Naomi.
"It's good here, isn't it?" Steve asked, smiling.
"Stunning." Carl said, smiling.
"Yeah, they got a magician, a singer and a comedian. The singer will be on in a minute!" Cillian said.
The singer sings a few more words then reacts to Cillian's line, continues singing.
"Steve, this is Cillian. Cillian, Steve Urkel." Carl said, introducing Cillian to Steve.
Cillian shakes Steve's hand.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Cillian said, meeting Steve.
"Pleasure." Steve said.
"Hey, Vanoss, Delirious, how's it going?
"We've been looking for you." Marcel said.
"Sorry about that." Vanoss said.
"We've been trying to find you." Delirious said.
"Looks like you four can bicker when we find the other two. Cillian Darcy, Vanoss and Delirious. Big fans of your videos." Cillian said, introducing himself to Vanos and Delirious.
"Oh, nice to meet you." Vanoss said.
"And Delirious. I watched the video of you played Babylirious game. I agreed with you, you're dead, you're a dead dad." Cillian said.
"I know, I'm a dead Delirious." Delirious said, laughing. "I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Cillian."
"Oh, it's really funny." Cillian said.
"So, Steve. I heard you're also going after the Phantom." Carl said to Steve.
"You too?" Steve asked.
"That's right. We came here to find you because I was gonna get revenge on you. But, instead, I want to make a deal with you. We can forget the past if we decided to work together." Carl said.
"Well, I have this feeling that we can work together as well. When me and Vanoss investigate this abandoned mansion, we found this." Steve said, holding up a red diamond.
"You think you're the only one with that?" Carl asked.
"We've found this in a laboratory before your past self enters our time." Cillian said, holding up a white diamond.
"It's true." Past Steve said.
Just then, a hand shows a black diamond which was putted on their table.
"I found it in the caves a while back." A voice said. The others turns around and the voice is happened to be Stefan Urquelle, Steve's suave and charming clone.
"Oh, shit! That's Stefan Urquelle." Delirious said.
Tamera was shocked who she saw from her seat.
"Tia, I think I know why's the nightclub is named Stefan." Tamera said.
"Who?" Tia asked.
"It was named after it's owner, Stefan Urquelle." Tamera said, hearing Tia's scream through the microphone before continue the story.
"Well, I never. Stefan Urquelle, my handsome clone." Steve said, meeting his clone again.
"Steve Urkel, both past and present of the man who made me. We meet again." Stefan said, meeting Steve again.
"Oh, yeah. I remember you're a clone." Cillian said as Stefan sees him.
"Cillian Darcy, the man who interviews me. We meet again." Stefan said, smiling.
"Indeed we did, man." Cillian said, shaking Stefan's hand.
"You interviewed him, Cillian?" Carl asked.
"Yeah, I interviewed him when he was in New York for a photo shoot last year." Cillian said. "He was doing a Christmas one."
Past Steve turns to Stefan.
"Anyway, I didn't know you work here." Past Steve said.
"Actually, I own the place. I'm glad you all like the foot and drinks." Stefan said.
"Yeah, it's stunning." Stefan said.
"Yeah, well, we have an amazing cabaret. A magician, a comedian, see you make fun of the singer." Stefan said, giving Cillian a single punch in the arm for fun.
"We enjoyed it." Carl said, smiling.
"Well, I'm glad you all enjoyed it, because I hope you'll be sticking around for the auction." Stefan said.
"An auction?" Steve asked.
"That's right." Stefan said before entering the stage. "And now, Stefan's is very proud to announce a one of a kind auction for a painting. Please welcome Judith Winslow."
Judy enters on stage in the background with the painting while the group are talking.
"So, Steve, where're you staying?" Carl asked.
"Oh, we got a lovely little bed and breakfast." Steve said.
"Well, we booked into a hotel." Carl said.
"I got a room in a motel. Those pigs don't know I don't have a car." Melody said, snickering and winking at the group.
"I'd keep quiet about that if I were you, Melody." Naomi said.
Delirious was first to notice.
"Who's she?" Delirious asked.
They all look to the stage and sees Judith.
"Big guy, is that who I think it is?" Past Steve asked.
"Hey, yeah! It's Judy." Steve said.
"Oh yeah, she's a painter." Carl said.
Judy grabs a microphone and prepare to start the auction.
"Hello everyone, I'm Judith Winslow, and I'm happy to come here in front of you to auctioning off one of my paintings called Enter the Crave." Judy said, showing off the painting. "Now, we'll start the bid lower at ten dollars. Do I hear ten?"
A person from the audience raise their hand.
"Ten, I got ten. Do I hear fifteen?" Judy asked, seeing the person raising their hand. "Fifteen. Twenty?"
"I bid forty-five!" Cillian said, raising his hand.
"Forty-five, that's okay. Do I hear fifty?" Judy asked.
Carl decided to jump in.
"I bid sixty." Carl said, smiling.
Judy sees her father, smiling at her. She smiles.
"I have sixty bucks, come on. Do I hear seventy?" Judy asked.
"I bid a hundred grand." Frank shouted from his table in the back.
Everyone's shocked that Frank Darcy, aka the White Dragon has made the highest bid.
"One ten." Cillian said, bidding.
"Cillian, what are you doing?" Carl asked.
"Getting you that picture. I have a load of money I have from my podcast." Cillian said.
"One twenty." Frank said.
"One thirty." Cillian said.
"One forty." Frank said.
"One fifty." Cillian said.
"Two fifty." Frank said, making a highest bid.
Everyone's shocked. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a highest bid yet. Cillian decided to end the bidding war by making a highest bid.
"One million dollars." Cillian said, making the highest bid than Frank's.
Judy smiles at Cillian for making a highest bid.
"I have a million dollar, do I hear two? I have a million, going once, going twice. Sold to Cillian Darcy for one million." Judy said, ending the auction as the audience cheers.
Cillian looks at his estranged uncle Frank and ignores him.
"My gift to you, Carl." Cillian said to Carl, smiling.
Judy walks down with the painting and give it to Cillian.
"Here you go." Judy said to Cillian before turning to Carl. "Hi, daddy."
"Hello, Judy." Carl said, hugging his daughter. "Look at you, making money off selling your paintings."
"Yeah, well. I see Cillian here made the bid. I'll go to the bank tomorrow and cash it." Judy said, smiling.
"Mind if I use the Urk-Pad?" Past Steve asked.
"What the? There's two of Steve?" Judy asked, smiling. "You know what? Who cares, come here!"
Judy hugs both versions of Steve.
"Hi, Judy." Steve said, smiling while hugging Judy.
"Hi, Steve." Judy said before hugging Past Steve. "So, what were you guys talking about?
"We're hunting down the Phantom, Carl's being interviewing by Cillian, and..." Steve said until realizing something. "Naomi, who's watching the kids?
"Oh, Maxine is. And Commissioner, you might wanna know, Eddie and Laura are released." Naomi said.
"Wait, Eddie and Laura are released?" Steve asked.
"I know." Carl said in shocked.
Stefan enters the stage again.
"Alright, unfortunately the comedian too sick to perform today, had a little COVID and all. So, anyone know good jokes, please come up." Stefan said.
Cillian decided to walk onto stage.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Cillian Darcy. I'll be your comedian for the night, filling in." Cillian said. "So, I had my old report cards one time from school and I showed them to my dad. He thinks they were my report cards and thinks the grades are terrible, but you know what happen then? That was his old report card!"
The crowd laugh even the group for finding the joke funny.
"Shout out to the commissioner of Chicago Police Department, Carl Winslow, who's sitting right there, for inspired me to write the jokes based on him." Cillian said, giving Carl a shout out. "Anyway, back in 1989, Carl and a female cop he worked with went undercover. When his missing wife, sister-in-law and late mother arrived at the love grotto, you know what his mom said? She said, Carl Winslow, you go straight home. You are grounded for the rest of your life."
Everyone laughs at the another joke.
"It's true, she does said that!" Carl said, laughing.
However, through the cameras, the Phantom, the world renowned jewel thief, is watching them. His allies, Agent Bowman, Penelope Cooper and Larry Smiley are watching as well.
"So, they have the three diamonds. Three down, three to go." The Phantom said.
"Landor's in France, let him make his monsters." Agent Bowman said.
"Good." The Phantom said.
They hears the footsteps. A young man in a red jacket walks towards them.
"Don't mind me. I'm interested in your little group." The young man said.
"Who are you?" Penelope asked.
"Me? I'm the guy had the technology for Briarwood County. As for finding you, it was a simple matter of tracing where the tech originated. And here we are. I need to carve my own path. So that's what I'm going to do. I want to help you plans for global domination." The young man said.
"So, you're that scientist." The Phantom said.
"Actually, I'm more of a roboticist. I designed my robots." The young man said.
"Well, I never be." Larry said in a southern tone. "What's your name, mister?"
"Doctor, actually." The young man said, evilly. "Doctor Robotnik."
Sometimes after Cillian done his jokes, the music's plays. The group have comes to a decision about joining forces in bringing down the Phantom.
"Okay, so, it's official. We'll combine forces." Steve said.
"That's right. And you two will join us?" Carl asked Stefan and Judy.
"Yeah, I know the world is in danger, so I've want to join." Judy said.
"Same here." Stefan said. "I want to make things right with you, Steve for spoiling your first date with Laura years ago."
"Hey, I'm here to help too. I'll join whatever it takes." Cillian said.
"Me too." Bree said. "And it's an honour to work by your side."
"Don't forget me and twin sister." Laurine said.
"It's true." Melody said.
"Don't forget me and the past version of you, Steve." Naomi said.
"Yeah, I want to help, and try not to be clumsy." Past Steve said.
"Okay, you can help." Steve said.
"Hey, we're here to help too. That makes fourteen of us." Vanoss said.
"Yeah, we've been activated for a reason." Delirious said.
"Okay, we're going to catch him." Steve said.
Just then, Naomi received a text from Maxine. She turns to Steve about something.
"Steve, don't freak out." Naomi said.
"Why?" Steve asked.
"Look at the text." Naomi said, showing Steve the text.
When Steve reads the text and gets angry.
"Aloysius, you are so dead!" Steve said in anger.
"Who's Aloysius?" Past Steve asked.
"Your son in the future." Stefan said to Past Steve before turning to Steve. "What happened, Steve?"
"That idiot along with the others are in Africa! Trying to find Lena the Jungle Girl!" Steve said. "Looks like we're gonna have to split up. I'm going to Russia to give my parents a little piece of my mind."
"I'll go with you." Carl said to Steve.
"Same here." Laurine said.
"Me too." Melody said.
"Yeah, I gotta go with that. I have to go to Italy to pick up a few stuff from that convent Emily joined." Cillian said, agreeing with Steve's plan.
"Hey, Naomi, right? I'll go with you to Africa." Bree said.
"Me too." Judy said. "Need to take a break from painting."
"Okay, you two can come."
"Me, Vanoss, Delirious and Wildcat will go with Stefan and Past Steve, we need to find Terroriser and Nogla." Marcel said.
"Okay, then it settle." Steve said.
The entire group will know what's going to happen. They will have to split up and meet up soon.
