Deadeye and Jenny were at a standstill. Here were three hooded figures, one of them holding a human girl hostage at gunpoint. They didn't know how to defeat the toads without harming Emily. Deadeye and Jenny needed to come up with a plan of rescuing Emily first before they go anywhere near the hooded figures. Deadeye decided to cause a distraction to incapacitate the hooded figures. It would be easier to save Emily that way.
Emily still was being held at gunpoint by one of the mysterious hooded figures. She was crying at this point. Deadeye pulled out a flash grenade from seemingly out of nowhere. He threw the flash grenade at the hooded people. Unlike traditional grenades, which are lethal when thrown, flash grenades simply stun people and blinds them for a few minutes. The flash grenade blinded the hooded figures. The guy holding the human girl hostage immediately dropped his weapon. He was temporarily blinded by the light emanating from the flash grenade. Emily immediately ran toward Jenny. She went behind the feline. Jenny ordered the hooded guys to take off their hoods. They took off their hoods, revealing that they were toads. Upon finding this out, Deadye, Bruiser and Jenny went to town on the three toads. Emily was kept hidden in a supply closet.
Once the three space animals took care of the three toads, they went to save Emily. Emily came out of the closet (not a homophobic reference) and thanked Deadeye, Jenny and Bruiser for saving her. Deadeye, Jenny and Bruiser went back to their respective positions on the Righteous Indignation. Deadeye noticed that there were toad motherships up the ass in front of him. Deadeye tried to activate his gun turret. He realized that his turrets were disabled. He saw a creepy toad harlequin face staring back at the four armed duck. It meant only one thing: the matter transmuter had turned the Righteous Indignation into an incomprehensible mess! Deadeye, Jenny, Bruiser all hoped that Bucky and Harley would come back to the Righteous Indignation soon before they're ship would be destroyed by the toads.
Harley P.O.V.
I had no idea how to operate the matter transmuter. I had absolutely no clue. There were several buttons on the machine. I was on the toad ship that turned itself from the Indefatigable to a toad Double Bubble like some kind of David Blaine, Harry Potter style magic trick. I wondered where the actual Indefatigable was. Was it overtaken by toads? Was the Indefatigable actually there this entire time? Who the hell knows? All I know is that I needed to turn the Righteous Indignation back to normal. I now realize that there is such a thing as a matter transmuter. At first, I thought that such a device couldn't possibly exist. After I saw what happened to the Righteous Indignation, I realized that a matter transmuter really does exist.
I tried pushing several buttons. I aimed the matter transmuter at the Righteous Indignation. I ended up turning the Righteous Indignation into several things, ranging from characters from pop culture to random shit. I then realized something. Within every single machine, there is a polarity. If I could reverse the polarity of the matter transmuter, I could return the Righteous Indignation back to normal. I reversed the polarity of the matter transmuter and fired it at the orange spaceship. The Righteous Indignation was turned back to normal. I felt excited, knowing that I had returned a S.P.A.C.E. frigate back to normal via trial and error.
I aimed the matter transmuter at a planet called Toxus 2. It was unhabited, from my understanding. I decided to scare off the toads in a different manner. Instead of using a Berserker Baboon to scare off the toads, as was usual, I decided to give the toads something else to be scared of. I fired the transmuter at the uninhabited planet of Toxus 2 and turned it into the red Teletubbie. If you don't know what the Teletubbies are, The Teletubbies is an insane show about these "cute" characters who live on a planet in which the sun is a smiling face (I am not kidding). Teletubbies is beyond insane. It's an incomprehensible show. I can't even begin to tell you the horrors that lay within the Teletubbies show. The toads took one look at Po, the red Teletubbie and they were scared beyond belief. They ran away like pussies.
I then noticed that the transmuter was overheating. Bucky noticed it too. Me and the green rabbit quickly ran away before the transmuter exploded. Luckily, me and Bucky were safe and unharmed. We headed back to the Righteous Indignation. I was glad to see that my sister Emily was OK. I hugged her tight. She was really happy to see me. On a space station, the Righteous is docked to one of the tubes. Inside, in a restaurant, Bucky, Jenny, me and Emily were eating with the Creators, who seem to be enjoying burgers and orange Fanta sodas with straws. I wondered what the name of the station was.
"Bucky. What's the name of this space station?" I asked the green rabbit next to me.
"Orwell Station." Bucky answered.
"You're not talking about Orwell as in George Orwell, the famous author?" I wondered.
"Who's George Orwell?" Jenny asked.
"George Orwell was a famous, if not the most famous sci fi author ever. He wrote one of my two favorite novels: 1984 and Animal Farm. I love George Orwell's work. I've read 1984 like a bajillion times!" I said to Jenny.
"Sounds like this George Orwell guy was a pretty important guy." Bucky said.
"Yeah. Unfortunately, George Orwell died in the year 1949, over half a year after he published 1984." I said.
"That's sad. I would've liked to meet George Orwell." Bucky said.
"Yes. Ever since a meteor shower jostled us awake, we've been trying to find our way to Genus." one of the creators said. "To be safe from KOMPLEX."
"Why did you create KOMPLEX in the first place?" I asked the toad creators. I was still eating my cheeseburger.
"We originally envisioned KOMPLEX as a peace keeping AI. We know that the upper working class toads needed a companion to help them in their tasks. Eventually, KOMPLEX got tired of helping the toads. He wanted to be superior. He wanted to control everything. He was inspired by the movie version of the book Harley mentioned, George Orwell's 1984. He wanted to be like the bad guy from that said movie. So, one day, KOMPLEX suddenly became corrupt. We didn't know if was a bug in the system that made KOMPLEX evil or what. He hasn't changed since then." The creator explained to me. I was totally shocked by that revelation of how KOMPLEX became evil. I never knew that the main villain of a dystopian novel could inspire such a evil thing like KOMPLEX. Here, I thought that the soul of Adolf Hitler was the reason why KOMPLEX became evil.
"How long ago was this?" I asked the creators.
"About a 100 years ago." the creators said.
"You mean to tell me that KOMPLEX has been evil for a century?" I asked.
"Yews. Well, KOMPLEX became evil around 30 years ago. KOMPLEX has been around for a hundred years." The creator said.
"Wow." I said. "I never knew that a AI like KOMPLEX could exist for over a century."
"How do we stop KOMPLEX?" Bucky asked the creators.
"Stop KOMPLEX? If we knew how to stop KOMPLEX, we would've stopped him years ago." the creator said.
"That's bullshit." I said. "There has to be a password or something that can stop KOMPLEX."
"You gotta remember Harley, KOMPLEX was created over a hundred years ago. The creators probably forgot the password to stop KOMPLEX several decades ago." Emily said to me.
"You're right. Maybe there is no way to stop KOMPLEX." I said. There had to be a way to shut the demon sent from hell down. KOMPLEX can't be evil for that much longer. What if KOMPLEX continued to be evil in the future? What if there was no possible way to stop KOMPLEX? What if KOMPLEX had the ability to travel back in time to the early 1940s and jumpstarts his own version of World War 2? A version that we couldn't stop.
