Return of the Hero part 2

View part 1

Chris, Pretty Boy, and Beardguy looked down toward the pirate ships on the Arkansas River. The Ghostmen walked to the three fighters and asked them if they need assistance to take down the pirates. Chris confirmed he needed their help. They turned to the pirates and unleashed their weapons and charged to the enemy.



Near Petit Jean, Kind Boy followed Mutant Fisherman down the dark caves. He couldn't see a single thing in the dark, all he could do was follow the sounds of his tour guide's steps. However the noise that Mutant Fisherman was making went silence. The short man reach into his bag for the gift he received from the Vulcan fans in Pine Bluff. It was...a flashlight.

He turn it on and walked down a pathway. After walking around for a minute, Kind Boy stopped when step in something sticky. He looked down and saw spider webs stuck on his foot.

He soon heard the mutant's voice, "Your in the spider's lair. Soon, she will stab you and then I will take the ring for myself. Hehehe!"

Kind Boy pulled his foot off the web and swing his glow in the dark butter knife at the mutant. The betrayer jump to avoid the attack but once he land on the ground, he lost his footing and slid. His body fell off a cliff and went down a ravine.

Kind Boy hopes to meet back up with Gardener to apologize for believing the mutant's lies. Suddenly, he felt a sharp sting in his back and the short guy collapsed.



Meanwhile at Russelville, the evil army threw dodgeballs at every building they saw. Several men from the city got on top of rooftops and fired dart guns to kill the attackers. Siege towers were now entering the city. The people of Russellville clash their weapons against the Cave Dwellers that came out of those towers.

Magician was on one roof. He pull out two face eating rabbits out of his hat and threw them at some opponents on the ground. The magic user then pulled out a long ribbon out of his sleeves and threw it on one of the enemy's neck on ground level and choke him to death.

A siege tower park on the building that the escape artist was standing at. Magician pulled out his toy lightsaber and a pearly white pool noodle. With them, he defeated many of his opponents with his epic duel welding skills. With one last enemy standing on the roof, Magician threw him in a box and sealed it up. He then pulled out a saw and sawed his enemy into three pieces. Blood was coming out of the ends of the three boxes.



Prankster saw Swordguy 0 is getting ready to burn himself and his dead son in the upcoming funeral. Prankster tend to the fallen warrior and laid his hands on his chest and said, "Sad to see you go. At lease you see your older brother soon." He then notice something as his hands were feeling something weird inside his shirt. The man from Hill Area reached in and pulled out what seems to be busted ketchup packets. "Ah of course. I should looked after seeing how Kind Boy survived getting stabbed."

He told Swordguy 0 that his son survived but he didn't believe him. Prankster went outside to get Magician.



Gardener came in the area with a lit match in his hand and said, "Hey Kind Boy, where are you? I think that fisherman guy is making up lies about us."

He quickly notice his friend's body on the ground. He cried like a baby but didn't care about that Mutant Fisherman who was missing because Gardener is a jerk.

He picked up his friend's flashlight and glow in the dark butter knife and looked what attacked him.
What he saw was... a tiny spider that's smaller than his hand.

He killed it by stomping on it.

He than heard, "I heard noises in these caves"

Gardener quickly went into hiding as three Cave Dwellers enter the area. "Did that spider in this area killed this guy?" Another man said, "No, she only paralyzes them with her sting. Let's take this guy to Evil Dude as a gift." They took his body and exit out of the caves.

Hearing the news, Gardener was happy that his friend was alive but knew that he had to save him from evil clutches somehow.



Magician was finishing another enemy. Suddenly, a large shadow was over his head and the other defenders of the city. It was a group of Halloween Freaks, riding their giant bats. They attacked the fighters while their leader got near the magic user. Magician swung his pool noodle but the giant bat grabbed with it's mouth. With one crunch, the pool noodle shattered in pieces.

A dodgeball flew out of nowhere and smashed into the creature's side. The wounded animal fly away in retreat. Magician looked who threw it and the person was Prankster. The short guy walked to him and told him that Swordguy II is alive and his father doesn't believe it and plans to burn them.

Just when the two were getting ready to move, they hear the sound of horses running. They looked to the northeast and saw that the people from Horesy Ranch has arrived. Magician told his friend, "Seeing backup is here, the battle is in good hands, now we need to save Swordguy II."

They entered into Swordguy 0's house and see they already started the fire. Magician took off his hat and pulled out a bucket of water. He threw it on Swordguy II. He was saved from the fire and quickly got up. He said all wide-eyed, "I'm awake. I'm awake." Unfortunately for Swordguy 0, he was on fire and ran out of the house like a maniac and fell off the house's 2nd floor balcony. He crashed into the backyard pool. The two that came from Greenbrier turn their heads as he crashes into the water but after the big splash they suddenly heard, "I'm alright. I'm alright."



Just when the reinforcements from the ranch look like they were turning the tide, an army of man-mounted feathered T-Rex came charging to the forces of good. Their feathers were bright red and baby blue.

The Head Rancher's nephew fired his Nerf revolver at one driver, causing the dino to crashed into another and both fell to the ground.

Several cowboys threw their lassos on the dinos, causing them to fall to the ground. The Cowboys than tie-up their legs together, rounding them up.

The Halloween Freak Leader started attacking the Head Rancher. The Cowgirl saw this and threw a dodgeball at the rider. The ball miss barely but this causes the evil man to slip and fall off his giant bat. She hopped on the bat's back. He was struggling but she got him settle down. Soon, she tie-up it's legs together and round him up.

The Halloween Freak said, "So you guys dressed up as cowboys and cowgirls. I see no reason to attack you, according to our beliefs." The Cowgirl replied, "What in a darn tootin do you mean? We're actually from a ranch. And another thang, it'sa wrong to stab people who don't follow what you follow."

He swung his dodgeball attach to a rope at her. She pulled up a sheet of cardboard to protect her but the impact of the dodgeball shattered the cardboard. She jumped and rolled to avoid his other swings.

Trickster came from behind and stabbed him in back of the knee with a butter knife. As he was screaming in pain, the Cowgirl pulled out a hot metal iron for branding tattoos and shoved it into the Halloween Freak's face, killing him.



At the southern edge of the city, several members of Evil Dude's army were at the riverbed, waiting for reinforcements. They saw several pirates ships coming to dock. They smiling faces suddenly turned upside down when they didn't see pirates, but three men leading an army of people dressed as ghosts.

The Ghostmen pulled out two butter knifes and stab any evil enemy they see. They saw two bats hovering in the air. "It's them, the people we kicked out. We must end their wrongdoing." The three warriors put their hands together. Several ghosts step on them and the three men threw them up to the man-mounted bats. The Ghostmen attacked the Halloween Freaks and stabbed them.

Beardguy looked towards the nearby dinosaur, "Why is the dinosaur have feathers. He looks weird." Pretty Boy answered, "Well scientists recently discover they actually had feathers all this time. I don't think they look weird, I think they look beautiful. Unlike the disgusting filthy looking pirates and cave dwellers we been facing."

Pretty Boy then acted like a showoff and easily killed the T-rex with his dart gun. Beardguy rolled his eyes on this.



Shortly after, Evil Dude's army was defeated and Russellville was saved. Chris thank the Ghostmen and they went back to their homes.

The city was quickly repaired in a few hours like nothing ever happen.



Meanwhile, Kind Boy was taken to Morrilton. The Evil Cave Dwellers set him down inside their crappy apartment room. They plan to bring him to Evil Dude as a gift within the next hour.

Little did they know that a cardboard box was moving across the kitchen floor. One guy came downstairs to make himself something to eat. The box behind him opened and came out was a man in black garb. He surprised the man in the grabbing him and placing his hand over his mouth. The ninja used his other hand to slice the enemy's throat with a glow in the dark butter knife.

The ninja went upstairs and saw two in the hall. He threw two paper ninja stars at them and they fell down.

He entered the bedroom and saw one Cave Dweller watching over the unconscious Kind Boy laying in bed. The ninja pluck a giant white radish out of the ground and threw it at the enemy. Once he fallen, the ninja rush downstairs.

He came back with a bucket of water. He splash it on the sleeping Kind Boy. He got up and said, "I'm awake, I'm awake." He turned to the ninja and asked who he is.

He took off his mask and reveal himself to be Gardener. He said, "I come to save you."

The two dressed up as Cave Dwellers and they soon they went outside. Once they were out, they saw hundreds of enemies throughout the city of Morrilton. Trying to get to Petit Jean Mountain be impossible for them now.



Meanwhile in Russellville, everyone is recuperating from their battle. Chris saw Magician looking at a laptop and asked, "So what are you looking at?" Magician answered, "I think I found an Evil Cave Dweller's MySpace page. According to it, they just captured something that was in some nearby caves."

He clicked on a pic and showed a Cave Dweller looking bored while taking a selfie on a mirror. He scroll to another pic that was sent earlier today and saw several Caves Dwellers taking a selfie and smiling like idiots with a comatose Kind Boy like he was their trophy.

Everyone in there room discuss about Kind Boy being trapped in Morrilton. They came to a decision to distract all the evil forces in city while Kind Boy and Gardener go to the mountain. Magician said, "We need to tell Evil Dude we're coming for him." Chris got up from his chair and said, "I do it."

He went to the other room and saw the magic 8 ball. The young warrior held up his new shiny toy lightsaber and shattered it. When he went back to the others, he said, "Uhh, yea. I just told Evil Dude we're coming or something. Let's go."



Everyone arrived at the western end of the city of Morrilton. The messenger came to meet with them. He pulls open a scroll and said, "You guys have no chance. You will fall. Surrender now." He stopped reading and said to them, "Oh, and a few friends of wanted to show you guys this."

He pulled out a shirt, stained with ketchup. The former members of long title group recognize that as Kind Boy's shirt. Suddenly, a dart hit the messenger in the forehead, killing him.

Chris turn and asked, "Ok, who did that? Your not suppose to kill the messenger."

Pretty Boy quickly hide his dart gun behind his back and gave a nervous smile.



On the other side of the city, Kind Boy and Gardener notice a large majority of the enemy is heading west. They saw a group of soldiers marching and passing by. They were singing, "Where there a whip, There's a way. Where there a whip, There's a way. We don't want war today but the lord of the lashes say nay nay nay."

They marched away while the two short guys gave a "What in the world?" look. Gardener said, "For an evil army that's scary and wants to take over all of Arkansas, it's hard to imagine them so...cartoonish." Kind Boy shrugged and added, "Well you got to admit the song is catchy."



The forces of good clash against Evil Dude's army at the city's entrance. Out of nowhere, the last of the Halloween Freaks on their bats start attacking. They laying waste to the forces of good. However, luck was on the good side because several WWII fighter planes came in and fired their vehicles' Nerf machine guns on the bats.

As the last of the Halloween Freaks were gunned down. The planes landed near former members of the long name group. Chris asked, "Thanks for helping us." Beardguy scratch his head and asked, "We heard of you guys, you have a secret WWII museum up in the Ozarks. How come you guys didn't help us sooner or help transport us straight to Petit Jean Mountain?" One of the fighter pilots looked nervous and said, "Uh I think it's because we didn't find gas for our planes." Another pilot said, "No, it's because one of us was sick or something." One mention they aren't a taxi service. One said the Petit Jean has a force field and it won't weaken unless the leader of the Halloween Freaks dies, which is the one the Cowgirl branded to death earlier. Basically the three warriors didn't get an answer.



The two from Hill Area ran and finally arrived at the mountain. There, they found one of the mountains rivers.

As Kind Boy was getting ready to throw it, Gardener said, "Well here we are. The end of the journey. Time to throw that thing." However, Kind Boy was having second thoughts, "But why should we. Can you imagine how cool I looked with this on my finger?"

Gardener asked, "Why everyone wants to wear it? It's not a fancy gold ring with diamonds or other jewels. It's a cheap piece of crap that came from a coin machine. Do you guys have a terrible sense of fashion or something?"

Kind Boy shrugged, "Your right." Just as he was about to throw it. Mutant Fisherman came and jumped on Kind Boy. The young man struggle and punch the mutant in the face, knocking him back a little. The young man quickly threw the ring into the 1-foot tall river.

Mutant Fisherman scream no and jumped into the water. Unfortunately for him, his swimming skills is so terrible, it's legendary. He died by drowning in swallow water. Immediately after his death, the ring dissolved into nothing.



Meanwhile in Morrilton, a loud voice was heard, even to those at the outer limits of the city. "My Ring!! My Ring!! It's Gone!! Noooo!!"

Chris said, "Well it seems the two from Hill Area did there job. Anyways Magician, do you have that fireworks cannon that was used on Old Guy's birthday party?"

Magician brings it up and Chris loaded an explosive dodgeball into the cannon. It shoot out and hits the shabby apartment that Evil Dude was living in. The building collapsed with Evil Dude inside. He was killed from the attack.

The remaining foes saw their leader is gone and they flee the city like wimps. Like the battle of the Stronghold, all of them ran. Every single one of them weren't paying attention and tripped.  All their heads fell on a rock and died from the impact.

Evil was vanquish and Arkansas is at peace. All the damage to the city was quickly repaired overnight like nothing ever happen.

The End

Oh that's not the end yet. Here's the epilogue.


Kind Boy wakes up in the hotel his friends rented and saw Magician standing there. He was happy that he is alive after his disappearing act. He then saw Trickster and Prankster happy to see him. Beardguy smiled as he entered, as well as Pretty Boy, and Chris. And then he saw his most loyal friend, Gardener standing there smiling.

Beardguy asked, "How are you feeling?" Kind Boy replied, "Well I'm feeling a little queer but other than that, I'm feeling gay and merry." He shivers and said, "It's getting a little cold in here. Will somebody want to throw a faggot into the fireplace?"

Chris, Pretty Boy, and Beardguy gave a look to each other on Kind Boy's weird dialogue. Trickster walk up to them and whisper, "Forgive my friend there but he reads alot of old early 20th century books. Certain words had a different meaning back in the day." They all shrugged.

Kind Boy was happy on his mission was completed and The Friendship Of The Copper Ring That Came From A Coin Machine That Was Made From The Waters Of Petit Jean Mountain has reunited.

The End

Here's the extended director's cut of the ending.

An awarding ceremony was held on Swordguy 0's roof. The very long name group traveled down the path as all the people on both sides of the path clap their hands. The Cowgirl in the crowd grabbed Chris' arm and said, "Howdy Chris. Me and this Swordguy II fella are together now. I don't think it would every worked but congrats on your upcoming medal. Good luck with that cosplaya" Chris looked puzzled and said, "Uhh, thanks I guess."

Chris has heard from them from time to time. Swordguy II likes telling stories alot. Chris started nicknaming him Storyteller. He and Cowgirl got married and had kids. They named them Swordguy III, and Swordswoman I and II.

The long name groud got to end of the roof. They saw Swordguy 0, the Vulcan cosplayers, the young female Vulcan cosplayer, and the Evil Elf King's Twin Brother. The elf pinned them medals. He gave Chris a medal and said, "And here he is, The Return of the Hero who saved the land of Arkansas. That's what people are calling you after you defeated my evil brother in the past." Chris replied, "Funny enough, I'm part of a group called The Heroes."

TFOTCRTCFACMTWMFTWOPJM turned around to the cheering crowd. Chris notice that Beardguy isn't wearing a medal. He pointed to his hairy friend and shouted, "Hey, don't forget this guy."

They did later on.

Everyone was happy.

The End

Here's the DLC of another ending.

The four from Hill Area enter back at their homes. They dance around and drink root beer at the cafe. Gardener got to marry his girl.

A few months has passed. Gardener's wife is a few months pregnant. Kind Boy invited everyone from his long name group to go to Ft. Smith. There was a big cruise ship parked in the Arkansas River, and it's planning to leave the state and travel west to Oklahoma and all the other states up the river.

Gardener whisper to Kind Boy, "People still think we're secret lovers. They think my marriage is a ruse." Kind Boy told him, "Ignore them. They start thinking your straight in the future."

They turn and saw Magician, The Evil Elf King's Twin Brother, Old Guy, and several Vulcan cosplayers entering the ship. Kind Boy said, "This adventure to stop Evil Dude has wore me out. I want to go relax on a nice pleasure cruise."

Gardener cry like a baby and said, "No you can't. Your the most important person in my life...Well after my wife of course."

Kind Boy said, "Relax, I'm not sailing to the afterlife or anything. I just taking a trip here and back again. See ya."

The remaining members of TFOTCRTCFACMTWMFTWOPJM waved goodbye. They all headed back to their homes and live their lives.

The End....For Real...No Seriously, For Real.

Return of the Hero part 1

The Dark Magicain's army has fallen at the battle of the Stronghold near Clinton. The forces of good head to the city of Conway to confront Dark Magician. When they arrived at his shabby apartment, they see their friends, Trickster and Prankster leaning their backing on a wall with some sort of white sticks hanging out of their mouth.

Beardguy walked up to them and said, "We been looking for you guys since you were abducted near Stuttgart, and what do we find? You two are lazing around and smoking."

The two looked at each other puzzled and quickly pulled their suckers out of their mouths. Trickster said, "We're not smoking. We just enjoying Dark Magician's secret stash of candy. Anyways, we met some hippies that help up defeat Dark Magician and they burned down hia crappy apartment."

A hippie walked up to them and said, "That mean magic dude, like after we burn his pad for all the bad things he's doing lately. We grabbed him and threw into a closet inside a another nearby apartment. He's totally locked in there. He ain't a danger to you guys or the planet by cutting down poor trees."

Magician looked puzzled and knew his old friend-turned-enemy wasn't a tree cutter but quickly notice that Prankster was waving his arms and putting a finger on his lips behind the Hippie's back.

With Dark Magician imprisoned, they knew he wasn't a threat anymore. They started to walk back to Horsey Ranch that's nearby Greenbrier to discuss their next plan...


"HOLD IT!"

The forces of good turn to the sound and saw Dark Magician standing on top of the roof the nearby apartment. He said to them, "So what, you think I'm not important anymore like I am a minor character or something? You can forget it."

The good guys pulled out their weapons to challenge their foe. They were ready to climb the apartment but stand back when they saw several figures approach Dark Magician from behind. It was Mean Butler and the Pyro guy from the caves.

The Pyro guy said, "Look, I know burn people alive but I have standards you know. I don't burn down where people eat and sleep. Seriously, you hippies are evil." Dark Magician gave a puzzled look on what the Pryo guy said.

Mean Butler said in a sad tone, "Now look what you uncivilized hippies have done. How am I going to say this to my land owner? My poor poor China cabinet with my beloved tea set is gone."

Dark Magician rolled his eyes, "No one cares about your tea set, Mean Butler." The servent was shocked and angry that the magic user didn't care about his tea set. The servent quickly grabbed the magic man's wand out of pocket when Dark Magician was turned to the good guys, not knowing about the theft.

The corrupted magic user said to them, "I shall perform a magic trick that will grant my revenge and..."

He gasped like he got stabbed in the back. It is because Mean Butler activated the needle at the tip of the magic wand that shoots out a paralyzing drug.

The frozen man than lost his footing and felled off the roof of the building. His body crashed into the ground while the heroes turned their heads before he hit the ground. They soon heard, "Oww, that hurts".


A few minutes has passed and Magician told the others that he wrapped Dark Magician in straitjackets, boxes, and chains and mailed him to Abu Dhabi. He wouldn't be a problem again. Trickster said, "That's good. Imagine he be back again at the end of the journey. He may cause chaos in my homeland and enslave my villagers."



The gang then return back to Horsey Ranch. They settled down to discuss their next plan. Pretty Boy and Beardguy had a drinking contest who can chug the most root beer. Pretty Boy won.

Magician set down near Chris, the 2 short guys from Hill Area, and the Head Rancher and his family. He pulled out a bag and told them, "After I mailed away Dark Magician. Mean Butler told me this was a gift he got from Evil Dude. It was nice for Mean Butler to help us like that, such a pleasant fellow. Anyways, I believe the gift is a communication device."

He pulled a black ball out of a bag. Chris said,"That's obviously a magic 8 ball." Magician glare at him and said, "Quiet, I know what it is. This thing is evil. It must never be used." He got up and put the ball in the bag. He took it to his bedroom. Chris rolled his eyes and whispered to himself, "You got to be kidding me."



Later that night when everyone is sleeping.  Prankster sneak around and went to Magician's bedroom. He pulled off the magic user's covers to retrieve the magic 8 ball from his hands. The short guy jump back when he saw Magician with his opened eyes, starring right at him, then he continued snoring with his eyes open.

Prankster sigh in relief that Magician was sleeping with his open eyes somehow. The short man slowly grabbed the ball from his hands. He then went to a corner.

He asked the ball if Evil Dude plans an attack. The ball reads, IT IS CERTAIN. Prankster asked if Hill Area is going to be his target, the ball reads, VERY DOUBTFUL. Prankster remember his old friend Swordguy I and asked if Russellville be Evil Dude's target. The ball reads, YES.

Prankster than heard, "You stupid fool! I said the ball must never to be used." Magician took the ball from his hands and shove it back into the bag. He asked, "I believe Evil Dude try to read your mind as you were using it. You put us in danger." Prankster replied to him, "But Magician, I found information from the ball that Russellville is going to be attacked soon."



The next morning, Magician and Prankster were outside of the ranch. The escape artist plans to take the short guy to Russellville to warn the city of the coming attack. Magicain took off his hat and pulled out a white horse out of it. They hopped on it and rode off to the city.



Meanwhile, Kind Boy and Gardener are heading south from Atkins to follow Mutant Fisherman towards Petit Jean Mountain. Gardener asked their tour guy, "So how are we going to get to Petit Jean Mountain when the Arkansas River is in the way? We leave behind our canoes when we cross the river back near Little Rock." Mutant Fisherman replied, "But I know a secret path. A cave that will lead you straight to the mountain." Kind Boy asked, "I hope this isn't going to take us to the other side of Arkansas like Beardguy's cave did." The tour guide told them it won't.



At the same time, Magician and Prankster arrived in Russellville and stop at this nice fancy house. Before Magician ring the doorbell, he turned to Prankster and whisper, "We're meeting the father of Swordguy I. His name is Swordguy 0. Please do not mention about his son's death who died from multiple hits from darts with suction cups."

They ring the doorbell and they were told to come in. Inside, they saw a man crying over a toy lightsaber. He is sad that his neighbors found Swordguy I's body drifting upstream on the Arkansas River. He then look up and started acting grumpy. "What you want? Can you see I'm grieving?"

Magician told him that Evil Dude is planning to attack the city and they need to summon reinforcements. They know that they have allies up in Horsey Ranch. Swordguy 0 replied, "I'm fine as I'm am. My other son, Swordguy II is guarding Atkins right and preventing the army of Morrilton from getting anywhere near here."

The two realized this guy is not listening and head off.



Kind Boy and his team were inside a cave and arrived at this underground city that no one knew about. Mutant Fisherman told them that is city of a evil cult are loyal servants of Evil Dude. They believe that Halloween should be celebrated everyday and they will stab anyone who doesn't celebrate.

Kind Boy grabbed his shoulder in pain and said, "It's them. The same Halloween freaks that stabbed my shoulder with a cursed butter knife near the beginning of this adventure."

Mutant Fisherman waved his hand to the two to follow him. They walk farther and farther away from the city, when suddenly, an announcement was all over the city's speakers. "Attention! Attention! Is this thing on? Well. *cough* Evil Dude wants us to attack the city of Atkins and than prepare the invasion of Russellville. So let's move out. Thank you."

Right after the announcement, an army of Evil Cave Dwellers marching out of the city, led by the Halloween Freaks as they rode on their 20-foot tall bats.

The three travelers were happy that the evil army didn't notice them. As they were on their way, Mutant Fisherman whisper into Kind Boy's ear. He was telling him that he notice that Gardener is eyeballing the cheap piece of copper and that he will want it for himself. Kind Boy's head is now filled about doubts of his best friend.



In Russellville, Magician told Prankster he has a task for him. He told him to go to a cliff and light a fire. That fire will be seen by someone else in the distance and than he will light a fire and someone else would repeat. It will go on till Horsey Ranch will see it and they will send reinforcements to help Russellville.

Prankster looked at him weird and said, "You know I can simply text Trickster and he will tell everyone." He pull out his flip phone and sent a text. Magician said, "Now that's done, we can..." Prankster held up a finger to give him a minute. "Sorry but my cell only can sent a limited amount of text. I have to send another one." He mumble to himself, "I hope phone technology get better in a few years where I don't have to deal with limited character space."


Meanwhile near Greenbrier, Trickster went up to the Head Rancher and told him about Russellville needs assistance. The Rancher said, "Well I be horn swallow, that city folk need mah help." He shouted to his fellow farmers to gitty up and head out.



The Halloween Freaks led an attack on Atkins. Swordguy II and his group was forced to retreat. The Halloween Freaks were now chasing down Swordguy II's army. Thankfully for the good guys, Magician arrive on his horse. The escape artist pulled up a giant sheet of glass in the air. The sunlight shined on the glass and sent out a powerful beam of light, blinding one of the Halloween Freaks. This causes him to lose control of piloting his giant bat and slams into another bat, this made them crashed into the ground. Swordguy II and his group was safe for now and they head back to Russellville.

When he arrived to his city, he thank Magician for saving him. He talking about he been defending Atkins for a while and he at one point, he encounter two short people and a mutant fisherman who are going towards Petit Jean Mountain. Magician put two and two together and he was delighted to hear the good news that Kind Boy was doing well and continuing his goal on getting rid of that cheap piece of jewelry.

Swordguy II visit his father but he was still in seriously grump mode over the death of his older son. The younger son left the house and talk to Magician. "I don't want to be around my dad for a while. I don't think he loves me. Well then, I'm forming a group to take back Atkins. If I push back the enemy, maybe my father will finally lighten up." And so, he rode out to take back the town.



Kind Boy, Gardener, and Mutant Fisherman were taking a rest in the caves. Gardener was cooking up a stew for the gang. The tour guide walked to the fat guy and whisper, "I heard that from Kind Boy that you are the worse cook he ever met. He said he rather eat garbage than to eat your crap." Gardener stopped and said, "He never said that before. That jerk!" He walked right up on Kind Boy and said, "So you don't like my cooking, is that right?" Kind Boy wasn't looking too kind and said, "I never said that. Oh I get it, you just want this ugly piece of jewelry to wear." Gardener replied, "Why I want to wear that stupid thing?" Kind Boy said, "Find. I don't need you. Come on Mutant Fisherman." He storm out while the tour guide followed while trying to hide his evil cackle.



The reinforcements from Horsey Ranch were halfway to their destination. They decided to set up camp for their lunch break.

In the middle of the break, the Head Rancher approach Chris. "Hey. There this fella in mah tent with dem ears wants to speak with you."

Chris got up and enter the Rancher's tent. Inside, he saw the Evil Elf King's twin brother standing there.

He said, "I heard you guys heading to Russellville to defend it from Evil Dude. How did you guys know of his plans." Chris explains how Magician and Prankster read a magic 8 ball. The elf responded, "It nothing but a simple toy. If anything, they're lucky they are heading towards the city even if they going to relied on a plastic ball."

The Cowgirl enter the tent and told them, "Don't worry about little old me, Ah just need to git somethang mah uncle forgot. You can continue whatever Y'all talking about."

The elf resume his conversation, "The young female Star Trek cosplayer back in Ft. Smith hopes the good luck charm she gave you is doing it's job."

"While that stupid stinking no good sorry excuse for a..." Chris and the elf turn to the Cowgirl as she quickly grab what she was looking for and storm out the tent with a huff.

The Evil Elf King's twin brother look at Chris all puzzled and asked,"What's with her?" Chris respond,"I have no idea. Well anyways, you think these reinforcements be enough to save Russellville from destruction."

The elf answered, "Not quite enough but there is a way to get more soldiers to join. There's a cave a few miles to the north. Inside is an underground city full of man who worship the warriors that fought in the great war that defeated Evil Dude in ancient times. They celebrate by dressing up as those warriors' ghosts. I'm good friends with the leader of this group."

"This weapon was forged from ancient and forgotten materials. The leader of the group knows my craftsmanship. This weapon be a sign that I sent you. Become the Hero of Arkansas again" He reached into his robes and pulled out a shiny toy lightsaber.

Chris said while amazed at his gift, "Thanks. So anyways, how come your not like your brother."

The elf shrugs, "I'm not sure. Since he's a king, you could say power corrupts. Maybe he's racist to you humans. It's possible he met Evil Dude and persuade him to the dark side. Anyways, I need to be off."



A few hours later, Chris, Pretty Boy, and Beardguy told the people of Horsey Ranch that they are getting more troops in a nearby cave. The farmers head out on their own and march towards the city.

The three warriors shortly afterwards found the cave and entered. Inside they found the underground city. After they were searching around, they were approached by nearly thirty man dressed in glow in the dark ghost costumes. Chris pulled out his new weapon and they realized he's their ally.

Chris asked, "You guys remind me of those Halloween Freaks I faced back." The leader of the group told him, "That is an offshoot of our group. They think it is Evil Dude we should honor and that by wearing our costumes nearly all the time, they started to believe Halloween should be celebrated everyday. We did not like them and kicked them out of our group."

He told them he will help the others in the upcoming battle. He pointed the direction of the cave's exit. The three followed his directions and left the cave. When they got out, they saw the Arkansas River up ahead but there was bad news. About ten pirate ships were sailing towards Russellville.


Magician and Prankster were nearby Swordguy 0's house and they were alot footsteps marching to the house. They look and saw a group of badly injured man were carrying Swordguy II's body with blood all over his shirt. The two that came from Greenbrier follow him into Swordguy 0's house. They saw the father falling to his knees and weeping.

Out of nowhere, two giant dodgeballs come flying and crashed into some nearby houses.

The two that came from Greenbrier went up to the Swordguy 0's roof to see what's going on. Magician told Prankster, "Hold still, I think there's something in the back of your ear." He reached in and pulled out a pair of binoculars. He uses them to see the outskirts of the city to the east. What he saw was Evil Dude's army. They were marching towards to the city. The Battle of Russellville has begin.

Transformers movies and their weird love for obscure characters

Something interesting about the Transformers series is it has a strange cast of characters. Especially the main villains in the sequels. They are obscure rather than well known ones.

The main in the original 2007 movie is Megatron. This is expected because he is usually the main villain and leader of the Decepticons in most versions of Transformers. However in the sequels, he was either an underling or a secondary villain whose building his army while the main villain is fighting the Autobots.

The main villain in Revenge of the Fallen is..Well the Fallen.

He was never in the 80s cartoon or the 80s comics, nor was he in any of the other Transformers series. He was from a early 2000s comic miniseries from the company Dreamwave called, The War Within: Dark Ages. Dreamwave was a company that went bankrupt within a few years since it's founding if anyone is wondering.

So yes, the main villain in the 2nd movie is a guy that was around for nearly 6 issues that was less than a decade old.

Shortly after the miniseries was published. A book called, Transformers: The Ultimate Guide was released. It gave more backstory on The Fallen. The story is Primus(Transformers version of God) created the Thirteen(Like Adam and Eve but with 11 others) and battled Unicron(Satan). The Fallen was the Judas of Transformers and betrayed his siblings to serve Unicron.

The guy on fire in the left is the Fallen

Primus, Unicron, and the 13 are Multiversal Singularities. They are dudes that existed throughout the entire multiverse. They have no alternate universe counterparts.

So yes, the very same guy from the bankrupted comics is the same exact dude that Optimus quickly killed in the movie that has hanging wrecking balls. This is not a reboot or re-imagined character.

However, I seriously doubt Micheal Bay is going to give time explaining overly complicated multiversal lore in his movie(or care). For all he knows, he's the villain the writers wanted and started shooting in Egypt and other places.

Some people I know don't like the movies and quickly declare them non-canon. However The Fallen being an actual G1 character within Micheal Bay's Movieverse is evidence that movies are canon in a way.

Or at least till 2015 where an event undid the concept of Multiversal Singularities. It was due to fact that all the later shows, movies, and comics started having their own origins stories causing contradictions. Most of the stories that talk about the Thirteen being multi-dimensional beings come from subscription magazines rather than your mainstream shows/movies/games/comics.

Fun Fact: After the 2nd movie, we learn what The Fallen's name before he betrayed his siblings. It was Megatronus Prime. I'm not joking.

The main villain in Dark of the Moon is not Shockwave.

No, the actual main villain is Sentinel Prime. What? You thought the 3rd movie was going to used an actual recognizable character from the original cartoon? 1st, I'm going to explain about Shockwave and how he looked like he was going to be the main villain.

In the 80s cartoon, he was loyal to Megatron(and a really bad shot). In the 80s comics, it was the opposite. He saw Megatron as a flawed leader and believe it is logical that he leads the Decepticons. They fought several times.

It was told from several interviews that Shockwave was going to be the main villain. High Moon Studios did a prequel video game that leads up to the 3rd movie while the IDW comics wrote a bunch of issues that lead up to the 3rd movie(and did a good job patching up plot holes, well before Micheal Bay created more movies)

The story is Shockwave crashed on Earth in 1908 in Russia, creating the Tunguska Event(a real life event). Russia found him and iced him. Basically, he was the Soviet's version of the iced up Megatron that USA had in the 1st movie. He was found by the other Cons between the events of the 2nd movie and 3rd. 

Soon after, he was slaughtering any Autobots that wasn't seen in the 3rd movie(A bunch of comic-only Bots that had toys to advertise and Jolt, a guy that was barely seen in the Revenge of the Fallen.)

Shockwave was totally awesome, just like General Grievous was in the 2D Clone Wars series. Exactly like General Grievous because once he showed up in the 3rd movie, he was nothing more than a large grunt that got killed off real quickly and didn't really have any lines.

All this hype about Shockwave was to hide the twist that Sentinel Prime was going to go traitor on the Autobots. Like the Fallen, Sentinel Prime also kinda obscure.


In the 80s Marvel comics, the story tells that the Matrix been passed from leader to leader. Optimus received the Matrix from the dying Sentinel Prime.

Behold, Sentinel Prime's entire appearance in all of the Marvel comics.

Dreamwave's 1st War Within miniseries starts with Sentinel Prime being dead while the Autobots try to find a new leader.

Behold, Sentinel Prime's entire appearance in all of the Dreamwave comics.

So yes, so far, the 3rd movie chose a guy whose best known for being on one panel who dies. Weird choice to be main villain for a movie material so far.

In the IDW comics, Sentinel Prime was a corrupt head of security officer working under corrupt senators who secretly arrange assassinations and create martial laws. Thanks to these martial laws, it led to a group of people rebelling called Decepticons.(Yes, the Cons had a noble goal at 1st but slowly became more and more evil.) Sentinel Prime was defeated early on in the great war.

Most of the backstory about Sentinel working under corrupt senators was made after the 3rd movie was released. It's possible that Sentinel in the movie is a combo of IDW Sentinel and Nova Prime/Nemesis Prime

Nova Prime was a dude that people who thought he was a great guy in the history books but people who really knew him know that he was really a power hungry conqueror that got lost in the unknown reaches of space. He came back and fought Optimus. 

Zeta Prime(Full name: Sentinel Zeta Prime) was a boss in the video game, War for Cybertron which is a distant prequel of the show, Transformers: Prime. According to the game and tie-in books. Sentinel Prime started a caste system on the planet. The lower caste classes hated how their life was treating them and rebelled. He later dies when Optimus found him in prison.

As you see in the later years of the franchise, Sentinel becoming an actual character rather than a dead guy you barely seen.

Now for the villain for Age of Extinction known as Lockdown.

Well like the Fallen and Sentinel Prime, he is a G1 character but only in select comics right? The answer is wrong. Lockdown came from a TV show that ran from 2007-2009 called Transformers Animated. He was a recurring villain that was in 3 episodes in total. That's right, Micheal Bay chose a guy whose only been in a few episodes in a non-G1 Transformers show that was made after Movieverse was established.

Lockdown is a bounty hunter that likes to collect trophies as he finishes his mission. He's not an Autobot nor Decepticon but usually works under the Cons when he's hired by them.

The main villain in The Last Knight is Quintessa. 

Is she in the G1 cartoon or G1 comics? Nope. Is she's some later incarnation that's not G1 right? No.

The thing is that we went from obscured to now a full on original character as a lead villain, or more like loosely based.

Quintessa is loosely based on the Quintessons.

The Quintessons 1st appeared in the 1986 animated movie and had a bigger role in G1's 3rd season that came right after the movie.

In the distant past, they arrived on Cybertron and created robots for military hardware and consumer goods. The Quintessons treated their creations like slaves and trash. Soon they rebel and driven the Quintessons off the planet. They became the Transformers we know today.

However this greatly clashes with the Primus origin from the G1 comics that Cybertron itself is a god-like robot that predated the universe who gave life to all the Transformers. Later stories sort of mix the two origins saying that Primus did create the Transformers and then the Quintessons invaded the planet and enslave the population till the 5-faced aliens were driven off.

Quintessa seems like she is also loosely based on Quintus Prime.

Quintus Prime is one of the original thirteen. He's in the same group of people as the Fallen, however Quintus Prime was introduced far far later and shortly before the 2015 event that greatly undid the concept of the original 13 being multi-dimensional, so do not expect him across multiple versions of transformers.

Quintus Prime was introduced in a book that's tells the story the Aligned Universe(War For Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron, Transformer:Prime, Robot in Disguise 2015, Rescue Bots) Quintus was a scientist and treated all forms of life as the most important thing. It said he created life on other worlds, including the Quintessons.

Quintessa in the 5th movie said she was a Prime and she created all life on Cybertron. However others from Cybertron's distance past said she's the great deceiver. Stuff she say may be a lie.

From what I read up on Quintus, he's more good than what we saw in the villain in the movie.

It seems the next Transformers movie is setting up Unicron. He is the Transformers version of Satan. He's an evil god the predates the universe and he transformers into a planet that devours other planets. He basically Galactus from Marvel Comics.

However it was reveal in the movie that the Earth's core is Unicron itself. The casual viewers from G1 or Armada may be confused and screaming at Micheal Bay at this change but this story came from the show, Transformers: Prime. In ancient past, Unicron was defeated and floated in space unconscious. The gravity from his body pull tons of meteors and rocks to him, forming the center of the future planet of Earth. Transformers Prime did a change in the Unicron mythos and instead of worrying about a giant planet that wants to chomp Cybertron, it was now trying to prevent Unicron from waking up to prevent Earth's destruction.


So is the movies finally going to use recognizable characters as the main villains for once seeing they are setting up Unicron or they going to put a lesser known character? Time will tell.

Godzilla NES and it's love for the obscure characters

Long ago, there was a game on the NES called Godzilla: Monster of Monsters. The plot is this, Planet X wants to conquer the universe with their ships and monsters. The people of Earth sends Godzilla and Mothra to protect their world.

The game's opening

The game is a sidescroller as your characters are transported on other planets in the solar system. At the end of the planet is a boss battle. The game seems cool at first but it gets very repetitive real quick. The boss fights are at least a little more fun than the sidescroller section.

I should give you guys a quick rundown on Godzilla movies.

• Godzilla had a dozen films from 1954 to 1975. This is called the Showa era. 
• Godzilla made a comeback in 1984 and ran till 1995. This is called Heisei era. 
• America made their own movie in 1998 and nearly everyone hated it. 
• Toho wanted to quickly get Godzilla out of retirement after the American movie and made movies from 1999 to 2004. This is called the Millennium era. 
• In recent years, America did another movie and it was a million times better received than the 1998 one. Even if America is planning to make Godzilla sequels and a showdown with King Kong in a few years, Japan still plans to make their own Godzilla movies, separate from the American ones. The American ones are called Monsterverse while the Japanese ones are called The Reiwa era.

The Classic/Showa era of Godzilla has this "expanded universe". The 5th Godzilla movie called, "Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster" and it was basically the "Avengers" of the Godzilla series. The end of that movie had Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra teaming up together as they fight the bigger threat called King Ghidorah. Both Rodan and Mothra had their own solo movies beforehand. Kinda like how Iron Man was having his series while Thor and Captain America were having their own solo adventures before joining up in Avengers.

Over the years in the Showa era, Toho has made alot giant monster/kaiju movies outside of Godzilla as well as alien invasion ones. Alot of them can be seen in the same universe, however there are people who argue that they are simply standalone movies that these characters randomly cameoed in later films with no connection.

Enough talking about the film series and on to the actual game. The 1st boss you fight is the giant squid, Gezora.

Now most of you are wondering, who is Gezora? Well he came from a movie called "Space Amobia" or by another name, "Yog, Monster from Space" from 1970.

The movie is about an alien entity who possesses critters on an island in Pacific and turn them into giant monsters and attack humans. The movie had nothing to do with Godzilla or anywhere else from the universe. So the 1st boss of the game is about a giant monster/kaiju from a non-Godzilla movie. What a weird choice.

The 2nd boss is the giant alien robo-mole, Mogera

Mogera was an actual Godzilla character that appears in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla in 1994. He was built by humans to fight Godzilla but was force to fight the far more eviler Godzilla clone at the end.

However the game came out in 1988. Long before Mogera made an appearance. The thing is that the giant robot mole is actually a re-imagined character from a 1957 alien invasion movie call "The Mysterians."

Yes, the alien invaders look like Power Rangers. Mogera was their own weapon against the humans. It's funny how the human built one from the 90s looks more advanced and more sleek than the the alien built one. Just like the different MechaGodzillas in other movies.

The Mysterians has no reference to Godzilla and other monsters. You can say that the reason Earth in the Showa universe is more advance than our own timeline is due to studying the alien tech. The Markalite cannons are sort of an early prototype of the Maser cannons you see often in the Godzilla series. However like Gezora, another weird character to be in a Godzilla game.

The 3rd boss gliding lizard, Varan The Unbelievable.

He was in his own solo movie in a 1958 film called, "Varan the Unbelievable." The movie is about explorers going into sacred forbidden land which happens to be Varan's sleeping grounds and havoc happens right after.

I greatly advised you watch the Japanese version instead of the English one. I'm not against people choosing between the English and Japanese versions but the English version of Varan has a completely radically different story all together.

Well Varan actually does matter within the pre-1988 Godzilla movies (sort of). He was one of the many monsters in 1968 movie called "Destroy All Monsters." However he was only in the movie for barely half-a-minute and only seen on the sidelines. The reason he had limited screentime in Destroy All Monsters is because his prop was the same from his solo movie from 10 years earlier and it was in very bad condition.

So yes, the boss character is some guy on the sidelines you saw for a half-a-minute..

4th boss is Hedorah.

Finally we got an actual Godzilla foe from 1971's Godzilla vs. Hedorah(Or Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster) He was an alien parasite that absorbs smog and pollution. Yes, the movie was going all Captain Planet on us at one point.

5th boss is tunneling dinosaur, Baragon.

Like Varan, he was on the sidelines in Destroy All Monsters because of his badly damaged prop. 

He was of the three foes in 2001's Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidora: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. (Yes, that's a long name) However again, this game was made long before the movie.

Before being a side character in Destory All Monsters, he was in Frankenstein Conquers The World. Yes, I'm not joking, the Godzilla universe has both King Kong and Frankenstein in them.

Frankenstein was a dude who was blame for death of humans when it was really Baragon.  They fought in the end.

The movie had a sequel called War of the Gargantuans where leftover pieces of Frankenstein grew into two different monsters. The English version removed all the references to the Frankenstein like the Gargantuans were somehow regulars baby monsters that scientists found. The movie is the 1st one that actually introduce the Maser cannons which were seen in later movies.

Fun Fact: War of the Gargantuans inspire Brad Pitt to be an actor and also one of Tim Burton's top fav movies.

6th boss is Gigan. One of Godzilla nemeses . He's an alien cyborg uhh..bird fish thing with buzzsaws

                                      

2nd last boss is MechaGodzilla. Another one of Godzilla nemeses. Evil robo Godzilla clone built by space monkeys. Seeing this game was in 1988, the later human built ones won't be available in this game.

The last boss is King Ghidora. Another one of Godzilla nemeses. He is a three-headed alien dragon that usually takes multiple monsters to defeat.

That's all the bosses of the games

Here is the recurring enemy on the sidescroller.  This is Manda.

He was one of the many monsters in Destroy All Monsters. Like Baragon and Varan, he stand on the sidelines during the final battle. However he did a little more as he was destroying train systems midway in the film.

He's from the 1963 movie, called Atragon. It about the lost continent of Mu (Pacific's version of Atlantis) wages war on the world and the good guys must find a forgotten super sub that Japan was going to use in WWII to stop Mu.

Now with the Mid-Bosses

This is a Matango. The movie is about people stranded on an island full of weird mushrooms. The movie isn't a kaiju flick but a regular horror movie.

This is Dogera. An alien jellyfish that wants to absorb all the planet's diamonds from a non-Godzilla film.

This is Goten from War In Space from 1977. Goten is is a sort of redesign of Atragon. War In Space is about humans uses the super ship to save Earth from aliens.

The game also has a random list of enemy ships. They are Atragons, Black Sharks(from Latitude Zero, another Toho movie with Cesar Romero), Killaak Saucers(from Destroy All Monsters), Xillian Saucers(from Invasion of Astro-Monster), Natal ships(from Battle in Outer Space, a non-Godzilla alien invasion flick), Super-X(From Godzilla 1984, the only thing from the Heisei series. Plus it the only movie at the time when this game was out.)

As you guys see, the NES game has an obsession of the expanded universe. Enemies pulled from Toho's non-Godzilla films. This be like playing an Avengers game but the half the bosses and enemies won't be Loki, Ultron, Winter Solider, Crossbones, Ronan, Abomination, or Mandarin(both of them). No you be facing lesser enemies from Daredevil, Jessica Jones, or Agents of Shield. The TV shows that take place in the same universe but doesn't get major focus like the movies.

Back then, when I was watching Destroy All Monsters, I wondered if I was missed any Godzilla movies when I saw all these monsters? Well I didn't miss any, it just Toho threw in everything in the movie. This was before the age of the fast running internet, so how was I suppose to know.

Heck, I honesty thought the Godzilla timeline was changed due to the time travel events from the 1991 film, thus explaining why Godzilla had to re-fight Mothra, fight a different MechaGodzilla, and Godzilla's son being born all over again. However, TV stations never did aired the 84 movie and I was not aware the series went through a reboot at the time.

Baragon and Varan were in the video game Godzilla Unleashed. However, the game is 3rd in the series after Destroy All Monsters Melee and Save The Earth. By then, nearly every monster from the entire series were a playable character and Baragon and Varan were more like extra treats than weird choice of limited amount of characters.
