A/N: Hello. Since today's the 10th Anniversary of the Monsterverse's first movie, "Godzilla", I figured I'd celebrate it by making this new chapter of "Close Enough: A Regular Show". It'll not only have certain callbacks from one of the Monsterverse's 5 films, but also a cameo appearance of a certain character portrayed by the famous Ken Watanabe. Enjoy.
Close Enough: A Regular Show
Chapter 8: CloudZilla
One Saturday afternoon, the park workers were now at a Chinese restaurant, apparently celebrating Benson's streak of good luck. Even C.J. came over at Mordecai's invitation. They were all even sitting at a table.
"I'm glad you could all join me for brunch today.", Benson thanked.
"What's the occasion?", Pops asked.
"Do you even have to ask, Pops? It's to celebrate my amazing streak of good luck.", Benson said.
"Wait, hold up. Good luck?", Emily asked.
"Yeah, don't you remember last night?", Benson asked.
Then, it showed a flashback in which Benson beat Rigby at cards and took all the stuff before it then cut to the present at the restaurant.
"Augh! You only beat me last night because of my bad luck.", Rigby groaned.
"No, Rigby, I only beat you because of my good luck, and it's that luck that makes me trust that we're all gonna love this restaurant that none of us have ever even been to.", Benson said.
"Yeah!", everyone agreed (except for Rigby, who still looked sour on account of his bad luck).
Then, a waitress appeared to give food.
"Sui mai, har gow, fung jao...", the waitress said.
"I don't know what any of that is, but with my luck, I'm sure it's gonna taste great. We'll take it all! Dig in, everybody! Dim Sum's on me!", Benson spoke.
The waitress then took out a menu and wrote on the menu, never mind stamping on it before several other waitresses appeared and gave everyone their food, leaving them excited. Sometime after, the food has been finished.
"That was delicious. Hey Rigby, where's your food?", Muscle Man asked.
"Food? He hasn't even brought my water yet.", Rigby retorted annoyedly.
Just then, a waiter appeared to serve Rigby.
"Excuse me? Here is your soup, sir.", the waiter said before accidentally spilling it over Rigby.
"I didn't order soup!", Rigby shouted.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll go check on your order.", the waiter apologized.
"Oh, yeah. I can kinda see your bad luck right now.", Josh realized.
"Oh, my gosh. Whoa, check it out!", Benson said excitedly, holding a pearl while the park workers exclaimed in amazement.
"Yeah, I just bit into that oyster, and there it was.", Benson said.
Muscle Man, Hi-Five Ghost, and Skips exclaimed in amazement.
'Wow, you actually found a pearl? Now, that's really lucky.", C.J. said.
A waiter then appeared with some fortune cookies.
"Hey, so can I pay with this?", Benson asked.
"Oh, of course, but I don't think we have enough money in the register to make change. Will you take a check?", the waiter asked.
"Sure!", Benson grinned.
"Come on!", the waiter laughed happily.
"I'm telling ya, I can't lose!", Benson said excitedly as he got up before walking away.
"Is your boss always that cheerful?", C.J. asked.
"Not usually, but at least he's happy.", Mordecai grinned.
"Are you okay, Rigby?", Candice asked.
"No. But thanks for asking. I gotta go dry off.", Rigby replied before he got up and went to the bathroom.
"Here are your fortune cookies.", the waitress said as she set them down.
"Fortune Cookies? All right. I wonder what mine says.", C.J. said in wonder.
Then, Muscle Man opened his fortune cookie.
"You know what's a hilarious game? Saying your fortunes and saying 'in the back of a car'.", Muscle Man said before opening the cookie and reading the fortune. "'Bad luck is coming your way in the-' Uh, that's not gonna work."
Muscle Man then saw one unopened fortune cookie left other than C.J.'s and swapped fortunes.
"What the...? Did you just...?!", C.J. began.
"Hey, that's Rigby's fortune!", High Five Ghost scolded.
"So? 'You're gonna be on the cover of Video Game Monthly'. In the back of a car.", Muscle Man said before laughing as did High Five Ghost.
Seeing this, C.J. grumbled and saw a waitress leaving.
"Uh, excuse me? Can I get another fortune cookie here?", C.J. asked.
Meanwhile, Rigby was in the bathroom, dealing with another problem.
"Aw, what, they're all out of towels?", Rigby groaned before getting out of the men's bathroom in time to see Benson and the waiter.
"It must be your lucky day sir, the 1000th customer gets a free meal.", the waiter spoke to Benson.
"All right!", Benson grinned as Rigby just left, disgruntled by the sight of Benson's good luck.
Then, he returned to the table.
"Finally, my fortune cookie's here. At least one good thing will come from this meal.", Rigby said to himself as he sat down.
But when he opened the cookie and saw his fortune...
"Aw, what?! 'Bad luck is coming your way'? Ugh, I can't get a break!", Rigby shouted in annoyance.
Left with no other alternative, Rigby then switched his fortune with Benson's.
"What are you doing, dude? Hey, that's Benson's cookie! Man, that is not cool, put it back.", Mordecai urged.
"Why don't you try telling that to those two? They switched fortunes with Rigby first.", C.J. said.
"What? Who?!" Rigby said in surprise.
"Muscle Man and High Five Ghost. Bad luck is Muscle Man's fortune, not yours." CJ said as everyone turned to Muscle Man.
"Uh, she's lying! Tell them, Fives!" Muscle Man said, denying this.
Just then, Benson arrived.
"Oh, we're reading fortunes, eh? Okay, lets see what we have here, probably gonna win the lottery or something.", Benson said, opening his "fortune". "Bad luck is coming your way? Ha! Whatever, it will take more than just a slip of paper to break the winning streak I'm having. Come on, let's get out of here."
Then, most of the park members walked away while Mordecai and Rigby stayed behind.
"Rigby, seriously. You need to switch those fortunes back.", Mordecai urged.
"Maybe if I can get Muscle Man to switch fortunes back with me, that won't be a problem.", Rigby said.
"Wait a minute. Rigby, what was Benson's fortune?", C.J. asked.
He then checked the fortune.
"'Good luck is coming your way'. That's what I'm talking about.", Rigby said.
"Maybe you could use that.", C.J. said. "With any luck, you can use that good luck to get back your real fortune from Muscle Man."
Rigby's eyes widened from hearing this.
"You make a compelling case, C.J. But first, I wanna take this baby out for a test drive.", Rigby smirked.
"Rigby, remember what you have to do.", Mordecai warned.
"Relax. I'm not that forgetful. Besides, Benson's been having crazy good luck lately. He won't even know the difference. And it could be just a piece of paper.", Rigby said.
"Yeah.. I guess.", Mordecai said uneasily.
"Speaking of paper, I wonder what mine says.", C.J. puzzled before opening her fortune and reading it aloud.
"Huh? 'You will spontaneously grow into a giant.'?", C.J. read aloud.
"A giant?", Mordecai and Rigby puzzled aloud together.
Then, the trio laughed together.
"Okay, now THAT is unbelievable.", Mordecai puzzled.
"See? Like I said, just a piece of paper.", Rigby guessed.
"Yeah, but if it isn't I'm sure it would be cool to grow into one.", C.J. said as she and the others leave the restaurant, unaware that someone of Japanese descent seemed to be watching.
"The cloud seed has been planted."
Meanwhile, C.J. and the park workers were walking out of the Good Luck Restaurant.
"You know what would make that place better? Some fortunes that were actually true.", Benson said.
Suddenly, C.J. groaned a bit.
"C.J., are you okay?", Mordecai asked.
"Yeah, you just got loopy.", Rigby agreed.
"Guys? I-I feel a little funny...", C.J. replied.
Suddenly, she yelped as she started to grow bigger in height and size until she was 8 feet tall. This caught everyone's attention, especially Benson's.
"What the heck?", Benson reacted.
Unfortunately, he was so distracted that a black cat tripped Benson over. He then stumbled under a ladder and stepped on a concrete crack. And finally, he knocked his head on a car side mirror and fell down. Fortunately, C.J. managed to catch him.
"Whew...! That was close.", C.J. said.
"Benson, are you okay?", Mordecai and Josh asked in unison.
"Yeah, I'm alright. By the way, C.J., how'd you get that big just now?", Benson asked.
"I think that has something to do with my fortune. It said that I'll spontaneously grow into a giant.", C.J. replied, showing said fortune.
"What?", Benson asked, surprised.
"Don't worry, Benson. We'll help sort this out.", Mordecai assured.
"Well, all right. But I'm sure that one was nothing but a fluke.", Benson said.
"Well, if you say so...", Mordecai said worriedly.
Just then, Rigby picked up a gold coin.
"Alright! It's a bus token!", Rigby spoke exclaimed in surprise.
Then, a nearby bus pulled over with Skips and Mona boarding it first.
"Come on, guys. The bus is here.", Pops offered.
Then, Pops, Josh, Emily, Candice, C.J., Mordecai, and Rigby got onto a bus as Benson ran after them.
Then, a bus driver suddenly stopped him.
"Nuh-uh. Sorry bro, bus is full.", the bus driver spoke.
With that, the bus door closed and the bus drove away, leaving Benson behind.
"That's cool guys! I guess I'll just walk!", Benson called.
The rest of the park members, however, were now in the back of the bus.
"I told you Benson would never notice. Now we can both be lucky.", Rigby grinned.
"You just better make sure you help us get these two to switch his and your fortunes back when you're used to your good luck enough, because look.", C.J. said, pointing to what's happening outside through the back window of the bus just as thugs approached Benson.
"Yo punk, give us your wallet!", the first thug shouted.
With that, the gang of thugs beat Benson to the ground.
Seeing this, Rigby winced in worry and inhaled sharply.
To begin, a montage showed Rigby getting good luck, which included beating Mordecai, C.J., and Muscle Man 3 times in a row at Rock Paper Scissors, receiving free pizza and a drink from a pizza truck, and, of course, seizing a dollar note without getting run over. It also showed Benson getting bad luck, which got progressively worse as first, his bathrobe got sucked from the janitor and locked out of his room. Then, he had coffee spill on him when he went for a sip, got shocked when he was almost hit by a pizza truck and stumbled into a tree, which led to him being chased by bees, incidentally knocking down their hive, and finally, having his car key broke along with his car getting wrecked by a falling tree, before getting beaten up by the same thugs, once again and had bees all over him when a beekeeper came along and slammed a hive on Benson's face.
At the same time, Mordecai and C.J. first tried to convince Muscle Man to switch fortunes back with Rigby. But he refused. Just then, upon getting angry, C.J. suddenly grew bigger again, going through her 2nd growth spurt up to 11 feet tall and making her clothes get tighter and tear one hole on her shirt. Stunned, Muscle Man and Hi Five began to run. Surprised as she was, C.J. found some joy this time around at this growth. At the second time around, C.J. tried to be stealthy and switch fortunes on Muscle Man, but then, her 3rd Growth Spurt happen, this time, causing her clothes to finally rip, appearing half torn as she grows up to be 15 feet tall, her shadow looming over Muscle Man, once again taking him back and causing him to run, though not without the borrowed fortune. And finally, at the 3rd attempt, she and Mordecai attempted to scare him into giving it up, even using C.J.'s 4th growth spurt (which left C.J. feeling euphoric about her growth up to 25 feet tall) to do the trick, even as her clothes tore again, stretching to appear battle damaged with nary an injury or bruise on her body otherwise, even as it began to develop some new clouds around her person in some areas. He was caught off-guard for a moment and considered switching only to notice under the shadow who it was, leaving him disgruntled and determined to keep it as, after putting the fortune back in, he took off his shirt and swung it as he took off, leaving both peeved.
Later, Mordecai, Rigby, and C.J. were now in the arcade. Rigby was playing a video game ("Super Donkey Bros." is its name) with his back faced to it, and was surrounded by a crowd of people. As C.J. managed to fit inside as vapor before turning back to normal (though not without crouching as best she could without much damage that's noticeable, he reached the high score and the crowd cheered for him for this accomplishment.
"Oooooh! High score up in here! Mordecai, are you seeing this? I'm so lucky I don't even need to look at the screen! In fact, I don't even need to use my hands! Check it!", Rigby shouted before he did a handstand and used his foot to press a button which activated the game's New World Record.
The crowd and Rigby cheered while Mordecai had a blank face and C.J. looked worried.
"Ugh, I don't believe this.", Mordecai commented.
"Whoa, dude. You got some pretty sick gaming skills. The kind to get you on the cover of Video Game Monthly!", a young man spoke, handing Rigby a business card. "Name's Dante. I'm the magazine's lead editor. Today's your lucky day bro, cos I'm looking for the world's best gamer and you are totally it! Either gimme a call or I'll call you later, we'll do an interview, either way. Catch 'ya on the flip side, bro!"
Mordecai was nearly disgusted as C.J. was giving a look of worry while Dante and the rest of the crowd walked away from the arcade game.
"OOOOHH! Did you see that? I'm gonna be on the cover of Video Game Monthly!", Rigby grinned.
"So, that's what you were testing all that good luck for?", C.J. asked.
"Among other things.", Rigby asked.
"Dude, you're horrible at video games! You just got lucky.", Mordecai said.
"Exaactlyy! I should have switched fortunes with Benson years ago!", Rigby responded.
"None of that good luck is yours. It belongs to Benson. All this good stuff should be happening to him.", Mordecai said.
"Yeah. The guy may not be my boss, but bad things are happening to Benson and it's only gonna get worse! If anything, Muscle Man shouldn't have even switched fortunes with you in the first place, anyway.", C.J. asked.
"What? No way! My life's never been better! I'm on a serious winning streak and...! Oh, that's right! I almost forgot. Did you two have any luck getting him to switch fortunes?", Rigby asked.
"No...", Mordecai said.
"But we came close that one time.", C.J. added.
"Fine... with the good luck that I have, we should be able to get my real fortune back AND be on time for my interview.", Rigby said.
"Speaking of, how IS Benson doing?", C.J. asked.
"I don't know. We haven't seen him since the restaurant.", Rigby said.
"Then, we have to go check on him first and see how he's holding up.", Mordecai said.
Just then, C.J. gave a loud, shuddering moan of excitement as she started to grow again.
"Ohohoho, looks like it might get done sooner than expected, guys...!", C.J. said excitedly as her body began to grow again, expanding the tears on her clothes even further.
Mordecai and Rigby exclaimed as C.J. cupped them in her hands while her growing body finally tore off all her clothes, revealing in their place, dark-grey cloud-like boxers and a similarly dark-grey cloud-like crop top, both with lightning sparks arcing on them.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, THIS FEELS SO GOOD!", she moaned in both bliss and thrill as while her hair started to look let down at full length, her whole body filled up the space of the arcade, squishing Mordecai and Rigby against the window.
"Huh. So, that's how soft she feels.", Rigby said.
"Rigby!", Mordecai shouted.
She gave a mighty roar as she began to push her way up and out, pressing her back against the ceiling, making it crack. When the roof burst off, she gave off a monster roar, echoing to the heavens. When she finished, she looked at her new, gigantic body, now standing at 50 feet.
"Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Check me out! I just grew into a massive giant! Who knew I'd look so beautiful like this, not to mention feel as powerful as a storm!", C.J. said excitedly before realizing something as she raised her hands up, opening them enough to allow Mordecai and Rigby to move and face her while standing back up on her palms. "Wait. Guys, that means my fortune was actually true!"
"Yeah. Who knew? Are you okay?", Mordecai asked.
"Okay? Are you kidding? I'm better than okay! I'm... CloudZilla!", C.J. spoke excitedly.
"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. But what about Benson? The sooner we check on him, the sooner I can trade fortunes back with Muscle Man.", Rigby asked.
"Oh, yeah. We gotta get right on it. And you guys just hold on tight.", C.J. said, putting Mordecai and Rigby on her shoulder before she stomped her way through the city.
"By the way, do you know where Benson usually lives?", C.J. asked.
"Yeah. It should be somewhere around here.", Mordecai replied.
Neither of them knew that at the city, Josh, Emily, and Candice saw C.J., now a big giant.
Candice giggled excitedly from seeing a live giant, especially now that C.J. had become one herself, all while Josh and Emily were too stunned for words at that moment.
Of course, not even they knew that the figure from back at the restaurant was watching Mordecai, Rigby, and C.J.
"Remarkable..."
Then, he called on his phone before speaking.
"The test was a success.", the man said.
"Oh, that's good to hear. Sounds like the 'Test Through the Fortunes' plan bore some fruit.", the waiter over the phone said.
"Yes. Your fortunes seem to have, as you say, 'worked their magic'.", the man said.
"Yes. In more ways than one.", the waiter replied.
"All that remains is one final test.", the man said.
Moments later, at Benson's apartment a janitor was walking by an eviction notice stuck on Benson's apartment door when suddenly, the roof was torn open and, much to his surprise, he saw a cloud-like giantess, accompanied by Mordecai and Rigby.
"Hey, what's up? I'm CloudZilla.", C.J. playfully greeted.
"Whoa! A giant cloud-girl?! Now, I've seen everything!", the janitor said.
"It's okay. This won't take long. We just need to talk to Benson and...", C.J. began before noticing through the open roof that Benson is nowhere to be found and his apartment is empty.
"Uh..., why isn't he here?", C.J. asked.
"Oh, you mean the guy who used to live here? He just got evicted.", the janitor said.
"Aw, what?!", Mordecai said.
"Aw, come on!", C.J. groaned.
"Well, do you know what happened to him?", Mordecai asked.
"Man, what a string of bad luck. He lost his car, his apartment, his wallet, his credit cards, his driver's license.", the janitor said.
"Wow, that really IS bad luck.", Rigby said.
"Did he say where he was going?", C.J. asked.
"I just clean floors, I don't ask questions. Ooh, excuse me, there's another hot chick getting paper over there.", the janitor said, walking away.
"Uh..., okay. Sorry about the roof.", C.J. apologized before moving the roof back where it was., slightly fractured as it is.
"Well, there's only one other place we can check now.", Mordecai said.
Moments later, the giantess walked over to Pops' house, inadvertently causing quakes with each step, puzzling Muscle Man, who was in his caravan.
"Huh?"
Curious, he opened the door and was in shock over seeing how huge C.J. is.
"Hey, what's up? I'm CloudZilla.", C.J. greeted.
"Oh, no, bro...!", Muscle Man gasped.
"We just wanna know something. Do you know where Benson is?", Rigby asked.
"Uh... Actually, I haven't seen him.", Muscle Man replied.
"Wait. Maybe Skips and Mona might know.", Mordecai guessed.
"Yeah, you're right. We'll settle up later, Muscle Man.", Rigby said as the trio went away.
"Whoa. I'm kinda surprised they haven't asked about the fortunes that time. That couple was on my case about it all day.", Muscle Man said.
"Probably because maybe you shouldn't have switched those fortunes?", Hi Five guessed.
"Hey, what happened in that restaurant stays in that restaurant, bro.", Muscle Man responded.
"I'm just saying man, what if something bad happens because you switched fortunes?", Hi Five Ghost asked.
"What the worse that could happen from me giving Rigby more bad luck than he already had? You're overreacting, Fives.", Muscleman said.
Later, C.J. arrived and after she set Mordecai and Rigby down, they entered Skips' house.
"Skips, have you seen Benson?", Mordecai asked.
"He's playin' cards in our garage.", Mona replied.
"He's convinced he can turn his luck around.", Skips added.
"No, he can't. It's not even his luck. We have to stop him.", Mordecai urged.
"Yeah, and fast.", C.J. agreed, puzzling Skips and Mona before they went outside and saw C.J. in her majestically giant stature.
"Hey, guys.", C.J. said.
"So, that's your fortune at work?", Mona asked.
"Uh, yeah. That's pretty much it. Really lovin' it so far, though. Though, the main issue would be how to turn back to normal in time for work this Monday.", C.J. responded.
"You just stay put for now. We'll work this out later after we fix Benson's luck problem.", Skips said.
She just nodded before the 4 went back inside just as Benson walked into Skips and Mona's room.
"Benson, we gotta tell you something.", Mordecai said.
"Not right now, Mordecai. I'm in the middle of a hand.", Benson said.
"No, Benson, listen. You gotta believe me when I say that you shouldn't be playing cards right now.", Rigby added.
"Okay, so I've had a bad stretch lately. So my wallet and credit cards got stolen. So accounting lost my paycheck. So I can't afford to pay my rent or feed myself. But cards are where I'm luckiest. Cards are my girl. She's never let me down before and she won't do it this time.", Benson said.
"Well, you gotta stop playing now, because there's nothing left for you to wager with.", Mona warned.
"Actually, Mona, there is one more thing."
Benson then walked back into the garage. But a moment later, he walked back into the room again.
"So, what happened?", Rigby asked.
"I just lost the park to the guy in the fanny pack."
In the garage, the fanny pack man's eyes glowed bright yellow and Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Skips, and Mona looked scared.
"He's a Warlock.", Skips said.
"Huh? What's going on in there?", C.J. asked.
The Warlock then transformed into his true self and started to grow bigger and taller, at least a few feet bigger than CloudZilla. As he grew to that size, he even crashed through the top of Skips' garage and all 5 ran out of the house. The Warlock cackled and conjured his fanny pack, sucking the Park into it.
"Wooh, what the?", Mordecai asked.
"He's sucking up the whole park!", Rigby added.
"The park! What have I done?", Benson asked in shock.
"Benson! We gotta trade fortunes!", Rigby urged.
"Why bother? Another bad thing is just gonna happen.", Benson said.
"No, Benson! I have a confession to make! All these bad things are happening because of me! I switched fortunes behind your back at the Chinese restaurant! My fault, me!", Rigby said.
"You what?!", Benson reacted.
"You did that?!", Skips said in shock.
"But why?", Mona asked.
"I'm sorry. I was just jealous of all the good luck he's been having, so I gave him all my bad luck. That, and Muscle Man was the first to do that to me.", Rigby said.
"What?", Benson asked, even more appalled.
"Well, he's not wrong about that.", C.J. spoke up.
"Hold on, is she actually a giant?! I'm not the only one seeing this, right?", Benson asked.
"No, you're not, but we don't have time. We gotta go get Muscle Man.", Mordecai urged.
"You guys do that. I'll buy you some time.", C.J. responded.
"How?", Mordecai asked.
"Whenever I get this mad, the only way I know how.", C.J. replied as her whole body turned just as dark gray as her cloud-made undergarments, sparking out lightning.
She then yelled out as she charged at the Warlock, who was continuing to suck the Park in.
"Lucky me! A full house!", the Warlock smirked, beginning to suck up the house.
But CloudZilla suddenly struck him in the cheek, stopping him from collecting the rest of the park.
"Now, guys!", CloudZilla urged.
"On it, C.J.!", Mordecai and Rigby shouted before they, Benson, Skips, and Mona all got on and drove off.
As they drove away in search of Muscle Man, the surroundings behind them were being sucked in.
"There they are!", Rigby shouted, pointing to Muscle Man and Hi Five up ahead.
With that, Mordecai swerved the cart and got them on-board with the others.
"What the heck?! Are you trying to kill us, bro?! But on another note, that was a savage drift.", Muscle Man said.
"There's no time to talk! We gotta switch fortunes now!", Rigby urged.
"He's right! Benson's luck is getting so bad it's gonna destroy everything! Look!", Mordecai urged.
When he did, Muscle Man was shocked to see the park getting sucked in on an isolated island while CloudZilla was busy fighting the Warlock.
"Now, THAT is savage, bro...", Muscle Man said.
Suddenly, during the fight, the fanny pack wound up starting to suck up Benson, who was barely able to grab onto one of the poles of the cart.
"Benson!", Rigby shouted.
"Quick! Take my hand!", Mordecai urged, reaching for Benson.
But all of a sudden, a black cat, being sucked up as well, hit Benson in the face, making him lose his grip of the pole.
"Nooooo!", Mordecai shouted.
"Aw, man!", Rigby said.
"Oh, no, bro!", Muscle Man said at the same time as Benson screamed while starting to get sucked in.
"Okay, okay, I'll switch back!", Muscle Man shouted.
"Hold that thought. First, you gotta switch fortunes back with Benson!", Skips urged.
"Where's the fortune?", Mordecai asked.
"It's under my trampoline!", Rigby replied, pointing to the trampoline as it was being sucked in, revealed to have the fortune taped under the trampoline.
"And where's your fortune?", Pops asked.
"It should be under my pillow. Had a hunch that you guys'd try something.", Muscle Man said.
"Oh, man. How are we supposed to get both fortunes over there?", Mordecai asked.
"Simple. With a little bit of good luck.", Mona smirked.
"Oh, I see what you did there.", Rigby said.
"Mordecai, Rigby, get ready to jump on three. Everyone else, stay with me. After we launch them up there, we need to hurry to Muscle Man's trailer, so hang on!", Mona urged before she then revved up the cart and turned it around, dashing towards C.J. and the warlock as they fought.
"Okay..., this definitely feels like a monster fight...!", C.J. said, straining to get the upper hand on him.
"A monster fight, is it? Well, perhaps I can assume a more appropriate form for this bout!", the Warlock spoke before laughing evilly as he transformed into a golden dragon dragon and roared.
"Whoa...! Okay, now THAT is definitely a monster fight.", C.J. commented.
The dragon roared before pushing CloudZilla back. As it charged at her, the clouds giantess barely had enough time to dodge him, earning his evil laughter as he turned to her.
"What's the matter? Can't fight back?", the evil warlock dragon mocked, earning C.J.'s growl.
Then, she noticed Benson being sucked in and gasped.
"Benson!", C.J. said in worry.
Meanwhile, Mona dodged the flying park objects as she got nearer.
"Almost there!", Mordecai said as the cart drove nearest it can to the two giants.
"Okay, guys! On three! One...! Two...! Three!", Mona shouted before stopping the cart with a swerve, giving Mordecai and Rigby enough friction to jump out of the cart.
"Okay. Now, for Muscle Man's trailer.", Mona said before starting off again, once again avoiding the crumbling surroundings.
From there, C.J. lunged at the dragon, who charged back only for C.J. to duck (while noticing Mordecai and Rigby at the same time) and grab Benson as well as the duo, puzzling the warlock.
"What...?", the Warlock asked.
"Guys, are you all right?! And what are you doing back here?", C.J. asked.
"We just realized! Benson and I need to switch fortunes first!", Rigby shouted.
"Mona and the others are looking for Muscle Man's fortune as we speak!", Mordecai added.
"Fortune?", C.J. asked before realizing something.
"Wait a minute. I have an idea!", C.J. realized before reaching into her boxer-like dark cloud and searching through it.
"Oh, that's right. It's hard to find anything small in that size...", C.J. said before pulling out...
"Another fortune cookie?", Mordecai and Rigby asked in unison.
"Yeah. After I saw your fortunes get switched earlier, I had to help get another for you, Rigby. Even I don't know what fortune is inside that thing.", C.J. said.
At this point, Rigby isn't sure what else to do, especially with so much on the line. He turned to Benson and Mordecai, who both nodded to him.
"Well, what else have we got to lose?", Rigby said.
Meanwhile, the cart barely managed to arrive at the trailer.
"We're here.", Skips said.
"Sit tight, babies!", Muscle Man urged before rushing back inside.
When he and Hi Five ran inside, they looked under the pillow and found the Video Game Monthly fortune.
"There it is! We found it!", Hi Five shouted.
"Now, that's finding a fortune in the back of the car!", Muscle Man smirked before he and Hi Five ran to the entrance/exit.
"We found it! So, all we have to do is switch it back with Rigby after he switches it back with Benson and we're all safe, right?!", Muscle Man asked.
The truth was, they weren't safe yet. The trailer began to get sucked in as well, causing the duo inside the trailer to shout (scream for Muscle Man's case) in panic.
"Muscle Man! Hi Fives!", Mona shouted.
Meanwhile, the warlock was growing impatient.
"Whatever you're planning, it will not work!", the warlock shouted before breathing fire on C.J., who had to jump up in the air, stunned by the air time, especially the warlock.
"A gigantic air time? Cool!", C.J. said before falling, stomping down on the warlock.
Just in time, too. She saw the trailer getting sucked in as well as a couple of voices in panic.
"That sounds like Muscle Man.", Mordecai said.
"And Hi Five Ghost, too.", Rigby added.
"Hang on, guys!", C.J. shouted before placing the trio on her shoulder and then reaching into the trailer and grabbing Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost, plucking them out in time while the trailer isn't so lucky.
"Phew... You guys found your fortune yet?", C.J. asked.
"Yep. Right here.", Muscle Man said, getting out his fortune.
"Good. You and the others need to hang back and do your thing. I've got this.", C.J. said, noticing the cart about to get sucked in as well, though it tried its best to avoid getting sucked in along with the surroundings.
After that, she managed to grab it and the others on her shoulder and setting them back to a safe spot on the ground. At the same time, the warlock got back up and noticed this, infuriated.
"You..., Cloud Giant! You dare besmirch the purity of this monster fight by risking your fluffy neck for these, these, these... mortals?! What kind of monster are you?!", the Warlock jeered.
"Oh, I'll tell you what monster I am.", C.J. glared, the clouds starting to turn from dark red to dark grey with some hints of blue as another storm was rolling in with lightning striking her body, fueling her rather than harming her as stray clouds began to get absorbed into her, causing her to grow bigger and larger while her body began to grow surging blue starting from her feet all the way to her head, her eyes glowing a blank blue. "I am CloudZilla!"
"Ooh! Jolly good show!", Pops said excitedly.
"Come on, guys. It's now or never.", Mordecai urged, Benson and Rigby nodding to each other before the former took out his fortune as Rigby held out his.
Then, CloudZilla stepped on the Warlock Dragon underfoot and pressing her foot firmly on him, her energy still going into overdrive just as the two switched fortunes back and Rigby then opening a new fortune and smirking upon reading it before grunting with a nod.
"It's time to give it back, Warlock, 'cause as of right now, this park is off limits!", CloudZilla declared as she was reaching critical mass.
"Now, do me next! And take this other fortune, too!", Rigby urged to Muscle Man.
Surprised by the gesture of giving the other fortune as he was, even he knew that time was of the essence.
"On it!", Muscle Man agreed before they began to start swapping.
"No! Please! Seriously! I don't wanna!", the Warlock panicked with C.J. preparing to fire.
When the two successfully swapped at the same time, C.J. fired lightning bolts from her arms at the warlock, creating an explosion that caused lightning bolts to dance upwards into the sky amongst the excess clouds above and would've engulfed the land were it not for the fortunes glowing. Their magic caused the scenery to become dark and stormy in a normal way again.
Once C.J. saw that the warlock is gone, she got excited.
"WHOO! We did it!", C.J. cheered, shrinking back down to her 50 foot giantess state before sitting down on her butt against the grass.
"Whew...! About time...", C.J. sighed in relief before becoming curious. "But how did that lightning bounce right back up?"
With that, Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Mona, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, and Benson were back on the park ground and looked around themselves.
"Is it over, bro?", Muscle Man asked.
"I think so..", Mordecai responded.
"Well, apart from C.J. still being giant-sized.", Rigby added.
"Still loving' it!", C.J. said.
"Oh, thank goodness.", Hi-Five Ghost said.
"OVER?! Nothing's over! You caused this by switching Rigby's fortune with yours!", Benson snapped.
"And that's why switching fortunes is never cool.", Hi-Five Ghost said.
"Oh... I see what you're saying. Sorry about that.", Muscle Man apologized.
"Yeah. I'm sorry, too.", Hi-Five apologized.
"It's cool. But next time you try somethin' like that, you're on your own.", Rigby warned.
"And you're not any better, Rigby! You switched my fortune! Do you have any idea what I went through?!", Benson shouted.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry! At least I confessed; that's gotta count for something.", Rigby said before the mobile phone rang and Rigby picked it up. "Hello?"
"Yeah, this is Dante from Video Game Monthly. I wanna get started on your interview.", Dante said.
"Oh, yeah. Sure, I can get started.", Rigby said as he walked away.
"Uh, what's all this about?", Benson asked.
"Well, that's Rigby's original fortune. It said he'll be at this month's cover of 'Video Game Monthly'.", C.J. explained.
Then, everyone else agreed, remembering what happened earlier at the restaurant.
"Well, so much for Video Game Monthly.", Muscle Man said.
"First off, I don't think any of us saw you play video games. That says a lot coming from me. And second, I wouldn't be so sure. You might wanna take a look there.", C.J. said.
Then, Muscle Man looked at his fortune and the new one given to him.
"Huh. 'Whenever a tidal wave of Bad Luck comes your way, things will turn out better when you conquer it'.", Muscle Man read.
"That's right. Maybe you could be the new hot player tearin' through the records next month.", C.J. said.
"Whoa...", Muscle Man said before he then cheered and took his shirt off, swinging it as well.
"Of course, it may be for next month. But until then...", C.J. smirked as she held out her pointer finger while Muscle Man got an idea for a joke.
"You know who else is hot and tears through stuff?", Muscle Man began before she gave Muscle Man a gentle light tap, barely touchable, causing small bits of her lightning to arc around him, making him hyper and energetic.
"MY MOM! My mom! My mom, my mom! My mom! My mommy, mommy, mom! My mommy, mommy, mom!", Muscle Man shouted before then laughing a bit crazily as he took off, leaving behind small trails of fire.
"Ah, this is just a temporary dose. He'll be fine in about two hours.", C.J. assured.
"Well, I kinda feel like he deserved some of it, at least.", Benson said before turning to Mordecai.
"Hey, Mordecai. When Rigby's done with his interview, both of you clean this mess up or you're fired.", Benson said sternly, pointing to the small tracks of fire Muscle Man left behind before leaving.
"All right.", Mordecai said.
"I just don't get it, though.", C.J. said.
"Get what?", Mordecai puzzled.
"If the fortunes at that restaurant were actually true, as was mine, then why was mine made to turn me into this? Not that I don't mind it.", C.J. puzzled.
"Yeah, why did someone make that?", Mordecai asked.
"Well, as much as I like this body, I still wanna be able to go to work.", C.J. said as she began to shrink to normal size, her dark-grey cloud-like crop top and boxers still existent.
"Whoa...! Did I just...", C.J. began.
"Yeah. You shrank back to normal. And you still have those things on.", Mordecai said in relief.
"Huh. That reminds me. I was barely able to fit Rigby's new fortune in it before I really got big.", C.J. said.
"Really? How?", Mordecai asked.
EARLIER...
AT THE ARCADE
"I almost forgot. Did you two have any luck getting him to switch fortunes?", Rigby asked.
"No...", Mordecai said.
"But we came close that one time.", C.J. added.
"Fine... with the good luck that I have, we should be able to get my real fortune back AND be on time for my interview.", Rigby said as C.J. looked toward Rigby's new fortune cookie and noticed herself seemingly getting plumper before discovering that underneath, she just grew dark cloud-like coverings on her chest and behind.
"Speaking of, how IS Benson doing?", C.J. asked as she then started to sneakily hide the new fortune, saving it for later.
"I don't know. We haven't seen him since the restaurant.", Rigby said.
THE PRESENT
"Honestly, I'm just surprised I haven't crushed it when I grew huge.", C.J. said.
"Yeah. That IS a relief it's intact the way it was.", Mordecai said.
"I might have some things to think about tomorrow for this.", C.J. said.
Just then, Josh, Emily, and Candice arrived.
"Dude, did you see what just happened?", Josh asked.
"What the heck was going on back there? And why is she wearing a sports get-up made of clouds?", Emily asked.
"And what's with those fire tracks? They look awesome!", Candice added.
"Yeah, it's probably a long story.", Mordecai said.
Outside the park gates, though, the man called again.
"She's ready.", the man said in Japanese.
A/N: And that's a wrap. Just a few cameo appearances, and already, things are starting to turn more mysterious. What is really going on? And what were those tests about? Well, just know that sooner or later, things will be explained in due time before the launch to space. Granted, it may be a bit of a long while before then, but then again, good things come to those who wait long enough. Still, that was a great episode, huh?
