Headnote: In this act, I didn't make the "Mysterious Mr. Friend" flashbacks, or the last picture of this page. That picture is from a Dragon-Ball Z Frieza saga episode. However, the rest of the pictures were hand-drawn by yours truly.
Act Two
(Opening Scene: The exterior of the Cal-Corp Dome, still at nighttime. Inside, Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin, and Warratduck are at the center circular part of the floor. Around them, and looking very concerned, are The Powerpuff Girls, The Rowdyruff Boys, Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Timon, Pumbaa, Tatiana, Taz, and Frieza. Behind the presentation givers is a giant screen, which has not yet been turned on.)
Armadillamingkat: Fellow heroes, I have called you all here to let you know that there is a new villain in town. And by rhyming, let me get this show started.
Frieza: We get the picture, Almond dill-o mongoose, or whoever the heck you are.
Armadillamingkat: My name is "Armadillamingkat," Frieza. "Arm-a-dill-a-ming-kat." But for short, you should call me--
Girls, Boys, Timon, Pumbaa, Tatiana: "Armie!"
Timon: We already know your name.
Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata, Armie. Why don't we get with the program and start your rhyming?
Armadillamingkat: With pleasure, Mr. Smith. (clearing throat) Here's a toy you may've known; his silhouette on the screen is shown.
(When he says this, a silhouette of Mr. Friend is shown in vengeance mode. Only his eyes and mouth are not in silhouette.)
Tommy: (nonplussed) Toy?! What toy?
Chuckie: We didn't even start playing with toys since we were in the Second Grade, Armie. (Like Tatiana and Meersnakeskin, he sounds as if voiced by Amy Birnbaum.)
Angelica: Yeah, and I'm thirteen years old.
Tommy, Chuckie: We already know that, Angie.
Timon: You're not making a heck of a bit of sence, son.
Armadillamingkat: First looks can be decieving if you know what I mean; but if the silhouette's off, you'll know what you've seen.
(The cat's out of the bag; Mr. Friend is seen, and he looks exactly the same way that we last seen him in the Rugrats episode, "The Mysterious Mr. Friend." This leaves Tommy, Chuckie, and Angelica confused.)
Tommy: That's who we're up against? But that's Mr. Friend.
Armadillamingkat: However, he may be thrown in a void; or if all else fails, he may be destroyed. Mr. Friend is the ultimate villain; we have to stop him if we're still chillin'. (Mr. Friend is back in silhouette and around him is a giant flame.) I'll take your questions now.
(Cut to Timon.)
Meersnakeskin: (voice over) You may ask now, Dad.
Timon: Armie, why were you born and why am I your father?
Armadillamingkat: I'm glad you asked, Dad. I was born of your leftover mutant DNA.
(Wipe fade to a flashback from Timon and Pumbaa "Monster Massachusetts", where Timon accidentally turned into what Armadillamingkat looks like. We are inside Dr. Caliostro's laboratory and near his Metamorphitron.)
Timon: I look ugly and I know it.
Pumbaa: (coming in) Remember what you said? "Beauty is only fur-deep. It's not how you look on the outside that counts; it's what's on the inside," remember?
Timon: (correcting him) I only said that just to make you feel better.
(At the end of this, and this scene is added, Timon raises his arm, and a piece of his pink fur comes out and gently falls to the floor.)
Armadillamingkat: (voice over) A piece of your fur fell to the floor, and that's the first step of my being born. The same thing happened to Mr. Smith when he was a mutant.
(Fade to another flashback of the episode where Pumbaa, looking like his son, jumps out of the Metamorphitron. On his hair, this scene is also added, a piece of it falls gently to the floor.)
Armadillamingkat: (voice over) Ten years later, after Dr. Caliostro built Cal-Corp, he found what was left of your mutant forms.
(Wipe fade to another flashback, one outside of the episode and this Fanfic. Dr. Caliostro, or another version of him, looks at these pieces, along with a green piece of sheded snake skin, and puts them inside a glass jar.)
Armadillamingkat: (voice over) He put these ingredients in seperate pods so he could create us. That was how I, my sister, and my friend, were born.
(Wipe fade back to the present, where Timon and Pumbaa, now looking normal, are surprised about what Armadillamingkat said.)
Timon, Pumbaa: Wow.
Frieza: (voice over) Excuse me, Armie.
(Timon and Pumbaa look to the leftt at the sound of his voice. Cut to him.)
Frieza: If Dragon Balls weren't created yet, how did you bring me back?
Armadillamingkat: (showing his Dragon Ring) With my Dragon Ring, of course. It has the power of seven Dragon Balls and grants a wish every twenty-four hours. Without its guardian, the Dragon Ring turns to stone.
Frieza: Damn. I should've gotten one.
Armadillamingkat: In the time where you come from, the Dragon Rings don't exist, and were replaced by Dragon Balls.
Frieza: Really?
Tatiana: (voice over) Armie, son...
(Cut to her, pointing to Meersnakeskin and confused.)
Tatiana: Why is she my daughter, and how is she your sister?
Armadillamingkat: (walking to them) Because in the near future you and father will mate.
Meersnakeskin: That's right, Mom.
Tatiana: Well, I suppose it could happen in the near future.
Timon: (coming in) Amazing. It looks like I'm gonna continue my loving you by doing what Armie says.
Tatiana: (blushing) Oh, Timon...
Blossom: (voice over) Can we go now, Armie?
Armadillamingkat: In a few minutes, Blossom.
(Spin fade to a round exit, with the words "ESCAPE HATCH" on top of it. Armadillamingkat runs to it, stops, and turns his head.)
Armadillamingkat: Aren't you coming?
(Cut to Frieza, who smiles nervously.)
Frieza: Maybe I'd rather just stay here with Tommy, Chuckie, and Angelica until we're ready.
Armadillamingkat: Fine, but you'll miss out on all the action.
(Cut to the unfortunate Icejin, with the Rowdyruff Boys looking at him, smiling.)
Boomer: You just got dissed.
Brick: (hitting Boomer) Don't mind Boomer, Frieza. We'll need you when you're ready.
Butch: Later.
(They fly off. The girls come in, with two out of three looking very suspicious.)
Blossom: Good luck.
Buttercup: Even though we might not like you.
Bubbles: (coming closer to him) See you, Friezy-Wiezy.
(She gives him a kiss on the cheek. The girls later fly off.)
Frieza: (confused) What was that Bubbles gave me?
Tommy: (voice over) A kiss, Frieza. It means to show that-- well, you'll get the idea.
(Cut to each in turn.)
Brick: Here we go.
Blossom: Let's do it.
Butch: I'm not in a great mood right now, but what the heck. Let's go.
Timon: (head turned to the left) Ready, Tatiana?
Tatiana: (head turned to the right) You know it, Timmy.
Pumbaa: (in the same mood he felt in when Timon was in love in T&P "Once Upon a Timon") It starts.
Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin, Warratduck: Maybe you can't alter the past, but you can change the future.
Chuckie: How will we know you guys are fighting?
(Cut to the whole crew, now near the hatch.)
Armadillamingkat: You can check out the action on the screen.
(They jump into the hatch, one by one. Cut to Tommy and Chuckie.)
Tommy: Why would one toy turn evil, Chuckie?
Chuckie: I dunno, Tommy. Unless... Mr. Friend is what we were afraid of when we were babies, remember?
Angelica: (voice over) You were afraid of Mr. Friend? Get out of here!
Tommy: Quiet, Angie.
Frieza: (voice over) Who is Mr. Friend, and what was he supposed to do?
Tommy: I'm trying to get to that, Frieza, if Angelica would just butt out and let me explain.
(Wipe Fade to a flashback of "The Mysterious Mr. Friend", where Stu launches him for the first time. Didi thinks he's not as much educational as Stu stated.)
Tommy: (voice over) My Dad was a toy builder 10 years ago and he created Mr. Friend from scratch. He's supposed to have a voice chip containing over 200 randomly-accessed phrases, fully-articulated limbs, and a heat-in-motion sensor for tracking potential playmates.
(Fade to another flashback: Tommy and Chuckie introduce themselves to Mr. Friend as babies.)
Tommy: (voice over) Chuckie and I were the first ones to play with him.
Baby Tommy: I'm Tommy, and this is my pal Chuckie. (turning Mr. Friend on) Wanna play with us?
(Whenever Mr. Friend speaks in this fanfic, he sounds as if like Jimmy Neutron.)
Mr. Friend: You can call me Mr. Friend; You'll never ever be bored again.
(The two unfortunate babies scream as he malfunctions next, and he falls.)
Baby Chuckie: Is it over?
Baby Tommy: Uh... Uh-huh.
Baby Chuckie: What'll we do now?
Baby Tommy: Do you hafta ask?
(Both of them cry when Didi and Stu come into the living room. Stu picks up Mr. Friend.)
Tommy: (voice over) We thought he was broken at first, but the batteries came out of him. We were scared of him when we were babies, but you already know that.
Mr. Friend: A word of caution if you please; Don't kiss the cat when it has fleas.
Tommy: (voice over, as his baby version gasps) My dad thought he would say something fun, but Mr. Friend said words that don't make any sense.
(Fade to another flashback: Tommy's room at night. He yawns in his crib, not knowing that Mr. Friend is near him. Tommy lays his arm on Mr. Friend, and Mr. Friend activates, malfunctioning.
Mr. Friend: Rise and shine you sleepy-head; it's no fun to stay in bed... in bed... in be--
(He trails off into an echo, and Tommy starts crying.)
Tommy: (voice over) He scared me every time of the day I was near him. (as Mr. Friend stops malfunctioning) One night, after he made me cry, my mom came in and picked me up.
(Didi comes into the room. No audio comes from her mouth. Wipe fade to a close up of present-day Tommy.)
Tommy: I'm telling you, Frieza. Mr. Friend is bad news.
(Cut to a confused Frieza.)
Frieza: Clown-looking? Malfunctioning? Bad news? Unlike my brother, Cooler.
(Cut to frame all four, near the screen, showing a battlefield filled with wrecked buildings.)
Chuckie: Worse. And now, he's gone and turned evil.
Angelica: Mr. Friend, evil? Pa-lease. You've gotta be kidding.
Frieza: What if Tommy's not kidding, Angel?
Angelica: (shaking a fist at him) My name is Angelica, Freddie, and Tommy is kidding.
Frieza: (irritated, with flaming eyes) My name is not Freddie, you bitch. It's Frieza.
Angelica: (as a drop of sweat rolls down her face) Sorry, sorry, Frieda--I mean Frieza.
Tommy: (angry at both of them) Knock it off! We're in the middle of a conversation, and I don't want a quarrel between a human and a--whatever Frieza is.
Frieza: (smiling and giggling nervously) I'm an Icejin.
Angelica: (also smiling nervously) Sorry, Tommy.
Tommy: And I'm not kidding, Angelica.
Frieza: (sotto voice) Told ya'.
Tommy: Let's see how the gang is doing. (as we zoom in to the screen) Armie, how's it going?
(Cut to Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin and Warratduck, wearing eager looks, waiting to fight Mr. Friend.)
Armadillamingkat: It hasn't begun yet. We have to wait before he--
Mr. Friend: (voice over) Hello, kiddies, rise and shine; I'm your friend and you are mine.
Armadillamingkat: (shocked) --comes...
Meersnakeskin: (following suit) ...in...
Warratduck: (ditto) ...sight.
(Cut to the still-smiling toy.)
Mr. Friend: Here's advice that can't be beat; look both ways to cross the street.
(Cut to the not-surprised Powerpuff Girls.)
Buttercup: That's Mr. Friend?
Blossom: He doesn't look scary at all.
Brick: (voice over) They never do, girls.
(Cut back to the interior of the dome, where its inhabitants, except for Angelica, are also not surprised.)
Angelica: See, what did I tell you? Mr. Friend isn't so scary.
Tommy: (now confused) Strange. I thought he'd be more scarier than that.
Frieza: Is that Mr. Friend?! But he's just a funny-looking clown.
(Cut to a now-angry Armadillamingkat, back on the battlefield.)
Armadillamingkat: Don't be so sure, Frieza. Wait'll you see his true vengeance form.
Tommy: (over an off-camera radio) Vengeance form? What vengeance form?
(Cut to Mr. Friend, whose eyes now glow a firey red. His red hair changes to horns, the blush on his cheeks and his heart change into skulls, and Mr. Friend grows, now looking very angry--This is his vengeance form.)
Mr. Friend: (deeper voice) Hey, little pal, it's time to play; this will be your losing day. I'm looking for the one named Tommy Pickles. He ruined my kin.
(Cut to the now shocked inhabitents of the dome. We see an SD version of Frieza that we've never seen before or since.)
Tommy: *gulp*. Now I know what Armie's talking about.
Angelica: I take that back, Tommy. You weren't kidding afterall.
Chuckie: He's very scary, now.
Frieza: Tell me about it. His new form scares me down to size.
(Cut to the now-shocked Rowdyruff Boys.)
Boomer: Oh...
Brick: ...my...
Butch: ...gosh.
(The Powerpuff Girls are also shocked.)
Blossom: This can't be! This just can't be!
Buttercup: His frown is even tougher than my expression.
Bubbles: (feeling more scared) He's scary!
(Cut to the shocked "Hakuna-Matata" duo and Tatiana.)
Timon: Armie was right. He looks nice at first, but on the inside, he's evil.
Pumbaa: I'd have to agree with you, Timon.
Tatiana: *gulp. Me too.
(Armadillamingkat, Warratduck, and Meersnakeskin are not at all scared, but are ready to battle.)
Armadillamingkat: All right, Mr. Friend. You've got some explaining to do. Why the heck do you want Tommy Pickles?
Warratduck, Meersnakeskin: Yeah!
(Back to Mr. Friend.)
Mr. Friend: I already said that he ruined my kin; but I can see that in my sight, he's not within. So maybe some practice might be fun; with my new science-fiction shooting gun.
(He produces it as a little lazer.)
Mr. Friend: Too bad that you can't defend yourselves; but if you're lifeless, I'll put you in my shelves. You'll all be dead when you guys are through; then I will make toys out of you.
(He shoots his lazer. Cut to who he's pointing to, a shocked Timon.)
Mr. Friend: (voice over) Starting with you, you little meerkat; then with the rest of you, how about that?
(Cut to Pumbaa and Tatiana, now totally horrified.)
Pumbaa, Tatiana: Timon!
(They run in to protect him, but take the hit. Timon covers his eyes, and as the light the lazer produces dies down, he uncovers them and is in a state of shock.)
Timon: Pumbaa! Tatiana!
(Cut to the victims that caught the blast, who are near death. No blood is produced from either one of them.)
Pumbaa: Timon. So long, buddy.
Tatiana: We're done for.
Timon: No! Don't say that!
(Both of them give a thumb up before they die instantly.)
Timon: (sheding tears) No! It should've been me, not you two. (yelling) MR. FRIEND, YOU MONSTER!
Mr. Friend: (smiling evily) You got lucky that time. Next time, it won't be.
(Cut to an also crying and angry Meersnakeskin.)
Meersnakeskin: What have you done to my mother, you creaton?!
Mr. Friend: I've just taken their lives away. Now that they're lifeless, I'm going to turn them into toys; how does that please the girls and boys?
(Cut to a shocked Tommy; we're at the inside of the dome.)
Tommy: No way! Mr. Friend is now a killing machine.
Frieza: (voice over) I don't believe it. He takes things seriously, even death, and it's his specialty--
Tommy: Huh?
(Cut to an also-crying Frieza.)
Frieza: --And that was what I used to have before I joined you guys!
Angelica: (coming in) Frieza?
Chuckie: (also coming in) Are you alright?
Frieza: (also going postal) Does it look like I'm alright?!
(Back to the battlefield.)
Mr. Friend: (about to fire his lazer again) Time to do what I should've done a few seconds ago; and when I'm done with Timon, this friendship's gonna blow.
Armadillamingkat: (bursting into tears) FATHER!!!
Meersnakeskin: (following suit) FATHER!!!
Warratduck: (ditto) TIMOOOOON!!!
Timon: (eyes bugging out) AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
(The mutant animals step into protect them, and, like Pumbaa and Tatiana, get hit. Timon shields his eyes like before, and as the light dies down, he unshields them. Again, he's in a state of shock.)
Timon: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! ARMADILLAMINGKAT!!
(It's not just his son that Timon's worried about. It's also his daughter and Warratduck. They are near death. No blood is produced from either one of them either.)
Armadillamingkat: Father, it looks like we won't be around in this battle.
Meersnakeskin: So now, it looks like it's up to you and the rest of the crew.
Warratduck: (taking three last breaths) Avenge...my...father...
(Cut to Timon, who, again, is crying.)
Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin: (voice over) Be careful.
(Timon bends his knees in shame over the three mutant animals, who are now dead.)
Timon: (clenshing fists) No matter what happens to the rest of us, you three shall be avenged, you and your parents!
(Back at the dome, Frieza also feels shamed.)
Frieza: No. That's not fair! ARMADILLAMINGKAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
(The battlefield. Mr. Friend still holds his lazer.)
Mr. Friend: Five are gone, but just for kicks; add one to it and I'll make it... (his lazer gets ready to charge) ...six!
(Cut to Taz.)
Taz: Timon, Dodge it!
(Pan to a now angry and still crying Timon.)
Timon: SILENCE! It's my turn!
(Cut to Blossom.)
Blossom: I'll protect you!
Brick: (coming in and pushing Blossom aside) No!
(The sound of the lazer's firing is heard. Blossom and Brick wake up.)
Blossom, Brick: (horrified) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(Sorrowful choral music fills the air. Cut to the inhabitants of the dome, now totally horrified and gasping. Frieza is still crying. In the battlefield, Blossom, Brick, and Taz are in a state of shock. Cut to a puff of smoke, and when it dissolves, we see a blue screen with a black line; part of Bubbles' dress. Cut to Timon, who is still alive, and shocked. Cut to Bubbles, Buttercup, Butch, and Boomer, whose lives are on a line.)
Bubbles, Buttercup: Goodbye, Blossom.
Boomer, Butch: We love you, Brick.
(They die.)
Blossom: (sheding tears) Bubbles. Buttercup.
Brick: (following suit) Boomer. Butch.
(Inside the dome, Frieza is not only still crying, but he also has had enough of this.)
Frieza: (thinking) Mr. Friend, you bastard. (aloud) That's the last damn straw!
Tommy: (as Frieza runs to the escape hatch) Frieza? Where are you going?
Frieza: (jumping in) I'm going out there.
Tommy: (trying to catch up) Wait, Frieza! There's something you need to know!
(Cut to the exterior of the dome, and Frieza jumps out through a hole. He then runs to the rescue, wearing the same expression he used when fighting Son-Goku in Dragon Ball Z: The Frieza Saga.)
Frieza: (thinking) I'm going out there to fight you, Mr. Friend. And this time, you're the one who's going to die next.
(Fade back to the battlefield: Mr. Friend cackles.)
Mr. Friend: You can call me Mr. Friend. Your day of fighting comes to an end.
(He cackles again. Cut to the four survivors, or soon-to-be victims if Frieza doesn't come in time, now wearing horrified expressions. Mr. Friend's shadow looms over them as he cackles still. Fade to black.)
End of Act Two
