If you are wondering why this chapter is filled with stupidity and comedy, here's why: this book starts out comedic and meme-like, and then gets epic.


A green ogre awakens inside of a laboratory. He blinks for a bit before coming to his senses. He struggles, and finally stands up. This is Shrek.

Shrek: What…? Where…?

Little yellow capsule-shaped creatures clad in blue overalls roam around, singing gibberish. These are minions.

Two massive metal doors open, and Gru walks in.

Gru: Calm down you little yellow turds! We have a lot of work to do today!

Shrek's expression darkens as he sees Gru.

Shrek: Wait, I know you…GRU!

Gru: Shrek? What are you doing in my lab?

Shrek: I just woke up here! I don't remember anything else!

Gru: Likely story! Freeze ray!

Gru fires his freeze ray at Shrek, but he dodges it.

Shrek: Taste my fist!

Shrek drives his fist into Gru's face. He draws back in pain.

Gru: Ow! You son of a bitch!

Shrek and Gru break out into a massive fight, punching, kicking and screaming over each other.

Kevin: Hey! You do not do to boss!

Shrek: Shut up, you yellow fuck!

Shrek punches Kevin in the face. He begins to cry.

Gru: Look what you've done to my minion!

Shrek: Oopily doopilies…anyway I don't really give a fuck.

Dr. Nefario busts into the room, slamming open the metal double doors.

Dr. Nefario: What're you bastards rambling on about, innit?

Shrek: Gru over here is being a little chode!

Gru: Green boy over here is being a douchebag!

Dr. Nefario: Calm down, innit!

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door and Mario walks in.

Dr. Nefario: Oh, hey Mario, innit?

Mario: Mama mia! What the fuck are you rambling on about?

Dr. Nefario: Shrek and Gru are being a pair of retards, innit.

Shrek: Why do you say "innit" after everything you say?

Dr. Nefario: I like saying innit, innit.

Jeffy hops into the laboratory.

Jeffy: Hey daddy, what doing? Uh!

Mario: Go away Jeffy!

Jeffy: (crying) YOU SAID JEFFY NEEDS TO GO AWAY!

Dr. Nefario: OKAY EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP, INNIT! First Gru and Shrek are throwing haymakers, and now this? A retarded kid crying?

Gru: You know what? How about we all go on a little walk to calm ourselves down?

Shrek: First good idea you've had in a while.

Gru: Oh shut up.


Shrek, Gru, Dr. Nefario, Mario and Jeffy step out of the laboratory. Shrek shields his eyes.

Shrek: OH GODDAMNIT! WHY'S IT SO BRIGHT OUT?

Mario: Well, unless you've been living under a rock, Galeem, the Lord of Light, has consumed the multiverse in light.

Suddenly, a dark figure with ominous glowing red eyes comes up to the five. This is a puppet slave of Mickey Mouse.

Puppet Mickey Mouse: All Hail Lord Galeem.

Gru: Guys, stay absolutely still.

Shrek: What the hell happened to Mickey Mouse?

Mario: Galeem turned him into a puppet slave using light beams.

Puppet Mickey Mouse: Embrace the power of Lord Galeem!

Puppet Mickey Mouse unleashes a red energy blast.

Shrek: OH SHIT!

Shrek grabs everyone and dodges the energy beam in a split second.

Gru: Nice going, Shrek!

Shrek: Uh, thanks, I guess.

Puppet Mickey Mouse: You cannot escape the grand power of Galeem! Face the fury of my mouse balls!

Puppet Mickey Mouse is about to unleash another energy blast, but suddenly, Shrek lunges forward and punches him extremely hard.

Suddenly, Puppet Mickey's black hue dissipates and his eyes resume their regular state. Puppet Mickey is no longer enslaved, and has been freed.

Mickey Mouse: What happened?

Gru: You became enslaved by Galeem, the Lord of Light. Everyone has been enslaved by him and his light.

Mickey Mouse: Well, thanks for saving my life.

Mario: Let's all head to my house to celebrate!

Shrek: At least it's better than being at Gru's shitty lab.

Gru: SHUT UP YOU BITCH!
