  1. Now that the heroes are used to getting tricked by shady characters who turn out to be villains, I can imagine they'll eventually have to get used to getting tricked by nice characters or minor antagonists who turn out to be bigger villains than the ones they're currently facing. I loved more coverage on Zero's backstory, he has the coolest concept behind his name ever. I'd love there to be zero reason to dislike me.

  2. Episode 8: Ninja Hayden: Tron’s Edge

     

    “What’s a ninja gaiden?” Spongetron asked, unfamiliar with the game the title was referencing.

     

    “Hello members of SBC…” the shady character greeted in a sarcastic tone. “Ah, but where are your gang members? Oh, that’s right. I killed them.”

     

    “wut” JCM replied. “No, you didn’t, they’re right here.”

     

    “Yeah…” Jjs chimed in as he finally got the plug back in its socket, turning the lights back on and revealing to the now embarrassed character his mistake. “And I don’t remember us having anyone from the mafia in our clique.”

     

    “Gah!” the character grunted. “Fine, you got me. I am not the bastard/bitch who has been killing everyone. I’m the dick/cunt who has been hacking your site, filling it with fake news to influence you poor sods into buying into my agenda!”

     

    “So...you’re the guy who writes lies about new episodes on Spongebob wiki sites to troll people?” Jjs joked. “I don’t get it, how are you a threat in any way?”

     

    “Yeah, if you had been posting doctored information on our website, I would’ve definitely found out by now.” hilaryfan80 shared his skepticism as the site’s programmer. “I am a doctor after all. Just look at the funds we’ve raised to help Stephen Hillenburg’s ALS syndrome!”

     

    Everyone gave hilaryfan80 weird looks before turning back to the matter at hand.

     

    “Alright, you and you, I’m ignoring.” Hayden snarked as he pointed to hilaryfan80 and the alleged hacker in tandem. “As for you Spongetron, WHY?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! I THOUGHT THE HATE THAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAL!!!!!”

     

    “You think it’s bad for you?” Renegade said in a somber tone, looking at a teary-eyed Hayden and wrapping an arm around him. “Spongetron has also been wanting to make up with me after all that time she held a grudge against me! What has caused her feelings to go so COLD?!”

     

    The two began sobbing together before a confounded Spongetron asked…

     

    “What did I do wrong?”

    “How can you deny it?!” Homie yelled. “We saw you kill those guards! And then Steel! And from the looks of it, Wumbo too! ...Actually, in reminisce, you didn’t do anything too bad, but you still betrayed our trust! And I know all about betraying trust…”

     

    “Oh, piss off!” hilaryfan80 exclaimed angrily in response at what Homie gestured to him. “At least unlike you, I know about the business meaning of trust!”

     

    “OOOOOHHHHH.” Hayden cooed at the drama. “Looks like someone’s bitter over getting screwed...or maybe they’re just bitter over not getting screwed. OH!”

     

    “WOOOAAAHHH!” Jjs played along with the Regular Show reference and gave Hayden a high-five as the alleged Russian hacker behind them snickered, lighting his cigarette and beginning to have a smoke.

     

    “So you two like watching your peers fight, eh?” the shady character commented. “Why don’t I offer you a deal?”

     

    “I refuse.” Jjs replied, giving the character a stern look. “I don’t care what you’re offering, I’m not selling out SBC.”

     

    “Looks like the Dimma-deal’s already Dimma-done.” Hayden chimed in with a Fairly OddParents reference.

     

    “Who said anything about betraying SBC?” the shady character continued with his proposal. “I was merely gesturing to how we share a common goal. I use “fake news” to stir up drama on SBC not to hurt it, but to help it gain more traction. Though they hate to admit it, people crave drama, and they thirst for it more than they ever have in this generation of false peace created through being forced to remain silent about their true thoughts...don’t all of you wish for a place where you feel free to say what you wish without being made to feel guilty for it?”

     

    Renegade began to slowly raise his hand, despite the “meh” expressions hilaryfan80, Homie, and Hayden had on their faces as they looked at him. Jjs, however, felt that this mysterious character was making some sound points.

     

    “I can see why you think the way you do…” he tried to reason with the character. “However, there is no excuse for lying to people. To me, to lie to my friends is to betray them. As is, I can not accept whatever you’re offering.”

     

    “I can make you a ninja.” the character elaborated.

     

    “Come again?” Jjs responded in confusion.

     

    “I’m serious.” the character continued. “Doesn’t seeing all this chaos, these members dying left and right and being reborn as monsters...doesn’t it make you hunger for real power? Spongetron isn’t the only Yo-Kai reborn from an SBC member roaming around here...Elastic and SOF have also fallen and come back as the undead, as well as other members who did not survive the plane crash. And do you honestly believe that these Yo-Kai members are going to feel at home on SBC with a mere human as their head admin? Please…”

     

    Jjs said nothing in response this time. Ridiculous as this all would normally sound...he was forced to recognize that he wasn’t in a normal situation.

     

    “You need not accept my offer…” the character said in a foreboding tone of voice. “I will respect your decision either way...even if refusing me would mean for you to die…”

     

    “In the name of sarcasm…” a new enemy finished the character’s sentence as it appeared behind the SBCers.

     

    The SBC members turned around and reviled in horror as they saw what had become of their fallen friends...standing behind them was a Yo-Kai samurai that had been formed from Wumbo’s body being reanimated with the attachment of Steel’s head to it...

     

    Meanwhile, Adrian and Felix had departed from the animation studio, now riding on Elasticorn. They made their way to the plane crash only to find what SOF had seen earlier. SOF was no longer there, and there were no bodies lying around other than those of the Korean soldiers, something that surprised Adrian…

     

    “It’s clear not everyone got blown out of the plane...” she said to herself suspiciously as she saw the massive hole in the plane the mantis monster made. “One of the passengers must have become a Yo-Kai. But something’s not adding up…”

     

    “For sure.” Felix chimed in. “Why would the monster escape through the back of the plane then stay to fight the soldiers from the front? This doesn’t look like the work of one creature...there must be another force at work here...besides Celes. First an attempted terrorist attack, then our crash landing here, then a convoluted ruse involving an animation studio, too many strange things are happening. This has to be part of a conspiracy.”

     

    “Ah, I remember when I was into conspiracy.” Elasticorn abruptly said, sounding like he was high. “Good times.”

     

    “What the hell have you been smoking?” Adrian jeered indignantly.

     

    “Uh...I think I know what…” Felix interjected as he pointed to the smoke that was coming from the weed farm that had caught fire. Smoke from the marijuana was now spreading all throughout the area, getting all who were susceptible to its effects stoned. The smoke also began to form a sign in the air...a peace symbol…that transformed into an eye…

     

    “FOUND YOU.” the mantis monster that attacked the SBCers said in a sinister tone of voice as it was revealed to have opened a third eye on its forehead.

     

    “The all-seeing eye?” Adrian and Felix thought as light from the eye beamed down on them. “But that means…”

  3. Marvelous episode, I love how we're at last given a glimpse of how Madison got separated from her parents and the closure on the plot with Jake being possessed by Beast was great. The inclusion of wrestler references and Porky freaking Pig was amusing, but I literally burst out laughing at Jake's abrupt rejection of Beast's offer. I always love it when action shows don't take themselves too seriously.

  4. Episode 7: Peace Propaganda Cartoon

     

    “All I want for Christmas is peace on earth!” Crazy Celes exclaimed. “That’s better than being selfish like Kim Yo-jong, so I should get more ways to cause mayhem than her!”

     

    “Hey, I thought you were knocked out in the studio.” Felix brought up.

     

    “This is just a “cutaway gag” like the joke about Kim Jong’s sister in the last episode,” retorted Celes, “it’s not canon. Jokes aren’t the only thing I steal from Family Guy, you know!”

     

    “Well, no shit.” Adrian chimed in with a rejoinder. “You also stole their remarkable lack of class, tact, and elegance.”

     

    “Fuck off, the Russian collusion episode was amazing!” Celes yelled. “Thanks to it, I now have the best idea for a plot twist! In the style of And Then There Were Less, instead of one of the SBC members being a killer, one of them will turn out to be a Russian hacker!”

     

    “What’s the problem with just having one of the members be a killer?” Felix questioned. “Surely a murder mystery is more interesting than Russian hacking.”

     

    “Because if it was about a killer, terminoob would spoil it!” Celes exclaimed. “Plus, one of the SBC members has already become a murderer! Remember the robot insect that attacked them at the end of the last chapter?”

     

    “What?” terminoob responded. “You’re kidding...it wasn’t me? -.- And to think I spent my whole life believing I was a robot insect...”

     

    “Jesus, how long is this opening gag?” Adrian remarked in bemusement. “When are we finally going to get to the start of the actual fucking episode?”

     

    “It’s called EXPOSITION!” Celes screamed. “It’s done in the style of ATTWL 3, where everyone just stood around yapping away while serious shit was going down. And don’t you dare say, “I know it’s a joke, but it’s not done right!”. If the joke was done right, it wouldn’t be a true homage to the source material, and therefore, it wouldn’t be funny!”

     

    “If the joke was done right, it wouldn’t be funny?” Felix replied in confusion.

     

    As the three continued to quibble amongst themselves, a sigh could be heard as it was revealed that everything the trio was doing in the opening gag was just a show being watched by a network executive on his computer. He was in his office on the highest floor of a tall building, and outside the window behind him, a tall tower of equal stature could be seen nearby.

     

    “I’m just going to skip to the good part…” he spoke with a Japanese accent as he scrolled his right hand over to the mouse, revealing that he wore a bracelet with an inscription that could partially be made out as, “      chati”...

     

    And so, we are finally treated to what became of the SBC members after their encounter with the robot mantis…

     

    Immediately after the mantis had finished taunting the members, she used her blades to slice through the bars and moved towards them, grinning at them menacingly with a slasher smile on her face.

     

    “Uh, guys, I think we should get out of here. O.O” hilaryfan80 remarked.

     

    “So let me get this straight-” Steel tried to say before he was cut off by his head getting cut off.

     

    “If you want to run, run!” the mantis taunted them again. “Don’t talk! In the words of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, get on with it!”

     

    The panicked members began to flee, having the chance to escape as the mantis gave them a head start, wanting some more challenging victims. Unfortunately, one of the members got his feet stuck in the jelly from the corpses of the Korean guards.

     

    “Oh my, aren’t you one fast little Canadian?” the monster jeered, as it was revealed the stuck member was Wumbo.

     

    “Just get it over with…” Wumbo responded with a sigh of defeat. “I’m honestly looking forward to the sweet embrace of death now. At least I won’t have to worry about any more bad songs cluttering my head...or anyone biting my head off over me complaining about those bad songs that they like...”

     

    With that said, the robot mantis proceeded to bite Wumbo’s head off and eat it. After chewing it, swallowing, and burping in satisfaction, the creature said…

     

    “Splendid morsel. He had nerves of steel...steel…”

     

    The creature then looked over at Steel’s decapitated head and had an idea of what to do with the rest of his body…

     

    “While I want to have fun with this, I’ll need as many Yo-Kai partners as I can get before I go to deliver the message of peace to this country…” the creature revealed a part of its plan forebodingly. “If you want peace, you have to prepare for a war first…”

     

    The mantis then maniacally smeared of her jelly on the end of Steel’s before taking it over to Wumbo’s still standing body.

     

    “It’s all part of the game…” she said sinisterly as she put Steel’s head down on the body…

     

    “So apparently that creature thinks this is a video game now.” Jjs casually remarked as he and the others continued to flee through the prison.

     

    “If this is a video game, tell me where the plug is so I can pull it...WOAH!” JCM was making a joke before he tripped from not paying attention while running from the now surprisingly laidback SBCers and knocked a plug out of its electrical outlet. Somehow, not only did all the power in the prison go dead with all the lights shutting off, but all the power in the party mansion went off too. Inside the mansion, a Korean partygoer, who was playing a Pokemon game on his Nintendo 3DS, gave a disgruntled look as all the lights went out.

     

    “When did I say I wanted to play the game blind?” he said sarcastically.

     

    “I totally didn’t expect myself to do something that dumb.” JCM announced to his bemused partners.

     

    “I totally did.” Hayden snarkily retorted as Jjs tried to put the plug back in its outlet despite it being difficult to see.

     

    “Heh, glad I’m not the only butt monkey around here...” Renegade gloated happily. “...besides Spongetron, for obvious reasons.”

     

    Everyone paused for a moment as something began to dawn on them…

     

    “Wait a minute...robots...insects...edge…” they reflected on how the monster looked and talked. “You don’t think that that creature could be…”

     

    The thoughts of the members were then interrupted by the sound of the footsteps of a metallic creature approaching from the front…

     

    “Spongetron…” they said in terror as a robot mantis appeared before them, accompanied by a shady character with a cigarette and lighter in hand…

     

    “To be continued...Persona 5 style!” Crazy Celes exclaimed as the notorious music from the chapter end screen of Persona 5 played to accompany the ending.

    Cool that the heroes have finally found another genuinely good guy to be their ally. Feel that they've met enough shady characters who have looked nice but have turned out to be villains, more of which I don't feel we need at the moment, even if Skorch has now gone to meet Broodwing. The twist with him turning out to be the guy on the other line was hilarious.

  6. Episode 6: Not What She Seems

     

    “Lol GF reference” SOF joked at the title.

     

    Well, that’s one question from the end of the last chapter answered. What about the SBCers who were captured then?

     

    The SBCers were shown to be locked in a cell as Renegade was playing unfitting music, annoying them with tunes from Daniel Johnston’s Yip Jump! Album.

     

    “Why do I like this stuff?” Renegade asked them.

     

    “I think that’s the smartest thing you’ve ever asked.” Hayden snarked.

     

    “What’s going on?” Jjs asked the warden guarding the cell. “I thought you were going to torture us.”

     

    “This is the torture!” the warden exclaimed giddily. “Ah ha ha ha ha!”

     

    Check. So what about Kim Jong-un’s sister stealing the Olympics?

     

    “She failed miserably!” Crazy Celes yelled, dressed in a sports uniform inside of a stadium, holding the US women’s hockey trophy. “Turns out she’s better at stealing from her own people!”

     

    Well, I guess that’s everything off our list.

     

    “th-that’s all folks?!” SOF yelled in a Porky Pig voice.

     

    “No, that is not all folks…” a shadowy figure in a familiar uniform said upon approaching SOF, who, in response, gasped.

     

    “You!” he yelled. “A random character I can’t name for the plot’s sake!”

     

    The random character then used their space and time powers to cause a note to float up from a nearby cliff and into SOF’s face.

     

    “What’s this for?” he asked as he peeled it off his face with his newly found Yo-Kai unicorn magic and looked at it.

     

    “To pay for the damage done to the studio!” the random character yelled, pointing to the animation studio that had its window broken from the gun that flew into it.

     

    “But that wasn’t my fault!” SOF insisted. “It was the gun’s!”

     

    *one tasteless gun control joke (edited out by jjsthekid) later*

     

    “Hey,” said Jjs, unhappy with that jab, “don’t act like I’m 4Kidz. I just edit what SOF gives me.”

     

    SOF, in a panic, tried to run. However, he slipped off the cliff and fell.

     

    “nnnnnooooo” he cried. “oh wait, I have a freeze ray in my pocket. plus i’m dead and can teleport”

     

    SOF then used his magic to teleport back to the crashed plane, only to see a horrifying sight lying before his eyes. The squad of Korean soldiers who had gone to investigate it earlier had all been killed, and were now lying down in a large, gelatinous pool of red goo. Despite all being armed with guns, they had all been cut to pieces with some kind of blade…

     

    “this is awful :(“ SOF remarked. “ms, gun control jokes are not funny”

     

    Even worse, unbeknownst to SOF, the same creature that had killed the soldiers was now heading towards the cell where the SBCers were being kept…

     

    “Alright, I feel that’s enough tunes for one day.” Renegade said, turning off his music player and leading the SBCers with him to sigh in relief. “So, anyone up for reading one of my lits?”

     

    “AAAGGGHHH!” the SBCers yelled in frustration.

     

    “I’d like to read a lit where I get to tell you to shut up, does that count?” Wumbo snarked.

     

    Soon, however, everyone in the cell fell silent as they could hear the sound of screaming mixing with the sound of the slicing of a blade coming from outside. The warden outside shrieked as the severed head of a prison guard was thrown his way, and the SBCers quivered in fear as they saw a monster, a giant, robotic, anthropomorphic praying mantis with two blood-splattered metal blades for hands slice the warden in two from the head down. Blood gushed out of his remains for a short while before becoming a thick, gooey substance on the floor. The mantis then turned to the SBCers and gave them an evil grin.

     

    “You all don’t look too jelly…” the mantis creature said in Spongetron’s voice. “What’s the matter…”

     

    The mantis taunted them, sticking its blade through one of the bars, frightening the SBCers even more.

     

    “Can you not take the edge?!”

     

    Is this the end of the SBCers?!

     

    “Seems that way.” Terminoob intervened. “According to a leak online, we’re not going to be involved with future arcs in the series.”

     

    Is there any point in reading the next episode now that terminoob spoiled it for everyone? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Super!

     

    Terminoob sighed in response.

     

    “They should’ve just stopped after Cell got his ass kicked by Gohan…” he said in bemusement.

     

    Adrian and Felix were then shown to still be in the studio with Elasticorn, bemused themselves.

     

    “I wish they had just stopped after Celes got her ass kicked by us…” they said with a sigh.

  7. Before a movie about smileys, there was a movie about garden gnomes. I wonder when they're going to realize that the reason the Toy Story premise worked for toys and video game characters is because toys and video game characters are things kids actually wanted to see come to life and have their own stories to them. And when those kids become adults and get into film making, they can tell those stories they've always wanted to share through a movie. Kids don't care about garden ornaments. It's like, "No ship, Sherlock.".

  8. The title of this episode reminded me of the Dragonforce song. Flarity is also the best character name in this show, and it's fitting. She's like Rarity, only much meaner. It's awesome that Doyle got to return and have a conclusion to his story and that the guardians finally know about Roxy. Now Elana knows what it feels like to be demonized by an enemy-turned friend who's been manipulated into thinking you're evil. Also like how that Lester guy turned out to be a villain, it only makes sense for characters like him to have a dark side.

  9. Two and a half years later, and I still stick to my opinion that the show had no reason to still be going, regardless of how it would have ended. Even back then, I could not have cared less if it had ended on a good note or not because The Fairly Oddparents I grew up with as a kid ended long ago in my heart. It can't go out in style if it's already gone out.

  10. I finished Ultra Moon today in a little less than forty hours (yup, Sinnoh still took me longer) with the following team...

    Damn good candidate for the best Pokemon game I've played. Favorite villain team, favorite character cast, and favorite story. I loved how they finally made a Pokemon team of actual street gangsters, Hau was my favorite rival in the entire series, with him being a "nice guy rival" who actually becomes self-aware of his flaws and develops, and that the story not only had some cool twists, but gave everyone in the supporting cast a background and a chance to grow as a character. Even the gameplay was genuinely challenging at times, and I loved having to figure out a strategy at parts where just having a higher-leveled Pokemon with a type advantage move wasn't enough. It had also brought some great innovation with the doing away with the gyms for island challenges (my favorite was the Ghost one where you got to take photos in a haunted store) and the Ride Pager for HMs (which I admittedly never cared for), the Z-type power moves, which felt like a more balanced Mega Evolution system, and the Rotom Power system, which felt like a more balanced O-Power system. If I had to think of one thing I didn't like, it was making the Totem Sticker sidequest only possible to finish in post-game...which is stupid, since Kommo-o, the prize for getting all the stickers, can be caught.

    Overall though, wow. I am very proud to have this be the first Pokemon game I ever played while it was new. I couldn't have asked for a better way to finally finish catching up with the franchise. ^_^

    Ha, clever joke there, since "pineapple" can also refer to a grenade. I really liked The Four Fingers too, nice that Beast has some subordinates who are not stupid enough to fall for his shenanigans, at least not twice. Also love how the deer are developing, I really want to know why the deer called out to Cameron specifically to reveal the truth about their enemies.

  12. Episode 5: Celes is Sneaky

     

    Welcome back, folks! It’s finally time for the epic finale, to see who will be the last one standing on Total! SOF! Island!

     

    Speaking of which, where is SOF?

     

    “KJ party mansion” he answered. “I’m underneath the stage curtain, but they’ll never find me!”

     

    “You just told me where you were!” a Korean soldier yelled as he pulled back the stage curtain and pointed his machine gun at SOF. SOF froze before he realized he had thought of an idea in his thoughts.

     

    “Look!” he yelled, pointing behind the soldier. “I see Stephen Hillenburg!”

     

    In response, the bemused soldier shot him dead.  

     

    “Idiot…” the soldier said to himself. “Everyone knows that Stephen Hillenburg couldn’t make it to the party today. He’s at Spongebob and Sandy’s wedding.”

     

    As the soldier turned around and walked away, however, SOF’s soul emerged from his corpse. Fusing with his dead body, he became a unicorn Yo-Kai that looked like Rarity.

     

    “thx for the reminder” he replied to the soldier, who looked back at SOF in shock. “i can’t miss latest premiere of truth or square done right”

     

    “The fuck?!” the soldier yelled, as he fired more bullets into SOF, but they didn’t phase him. SOF charged past the soldier, gently pushing him out of the way and causing his gun to fly out of his hands and out a nearby window. Watching SOF flee the party mansion, the soldier just stared in disbelief.

     

    “I can’t believe it…” he said to himself. “That is one fast Canadian. He should try out for the Olympics.”

     

    “quite fitting how we’re in Soth Korea olympic era” SOF winked to the audience.  

    “Yeah, pretty crazy coincidence…” the soldier winked to the audience ominously.

     

    Meanwhile, Adrian and Felix had entered the geographically misplaced animation studio to investigate. There were no guards around, as if part of Crazy Celes’ intent. There were, however, many storyboard artists in the building drawing cartoon characters on computers, cartoon characters that looked familiar to the two…

     

    “Is that Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob?” Felix asked himself.

     

    “Is that Sonic the Hedgehog?” Adrian asked herself.

     

    “What is going on here?” Felix continued asking. “If this studio really is like the studio that animates Spongebob, Sandy would obviously make sense, but what is Sonic doing here? If he’s here, where are Sega’s lawyers?”

     

    “Honestly, I doubt this studio is just an imitation of the one that works on Spongebob.” Adrian suggested. “I can guarantee you, Celes would be fighting Viacom’s attorneys as we speak, they’d be here long before Sega...”

     

    “Indeed, you are correct, young lady…” a familiar voice came from one of the storyboard artists who looked like Stephen Hillenburg from the back. “There is an evil going on in this studio even greater than Viacom, believe it or not…”

     

    “...” Felix clutched a vial of poison in his pocket in preparation for self-defense.

     

    “What evil would that be?” Adrian asked. “Are you the real crew that works on Spongebob (not that I would know, I don’t keep up with the show)?”

     

    “We used to be, but now, we’ve been forced to work on a different show...” the Stephen Hillenburg lookalike explained. “...Squirrel and Hedgehog…”

     

    “The North Korean war propaganda cartoon?” Felix responded as he approached the storyboard artist from the left and Adrian approached the artist from the right, neither still being able to see their face.

     

    “It’s not about war anymore, as you can see…” the artist continued explaining as he showed them what was on the screen, a scene of Sandy and Spongebob as the bride and groom at a wedding. Sonic the Hedgehog was the wedding pastor and More Spongebob x Sandy was the best man. “Soon, it’s only going to be about shipping wars…”

     

    “Dun...dun...dun?” Adrian made a sarcastic remark in her confusion. “I don’t get it, what’s the big problem?”

     

    “I didn’t know you were such a Spandy supporter.” the artist joked.

     

    “No, I just don’t care much about Spongebob anymore.” Adrian told the artist bluntly. “It was a part of my childhood that I moved on from.”

     

    “You don’t care about my show anymore?” the Stephen Hillenburg lookalike asked with interest. “Why, just curious? I’m willing to take the time to listen to what you have to say and take notes for how we can improve…”

     

    As the artist pulled out a pen, Felix smirked, getting an idea.

     

    “I’ll take notes for you if you want.” Felix volunteered. “I’d love nothing more than to ease a burden from an artist with an illness.”

     

    “Oh, why thank you, young man…” the artist replied sheepishly. “Yes, it’s hard for someone like me to manage so many tasks now that I have Alzheimer’s…”

     

    “It’s ALS.” Felix politely corrected.

     

    “Right!” the artist exclaimed, trying to laugh off the mistake nervously. “Sorry, my Alzheimer’s made me forget that I had ALS!”

     

    Adrian gave the artist a suspicious look.

     

    “You’re not really Stephen Hillenburg, are you?” she said, wisening up to the ruse.

     

    “So what if I’m not?” the artist replied in an unnerving tone of voice, still keeping their face hidden. “You’re the one being interviewed…”

     

    “Turn around and face me, you coward!” Adrian demanded as she turned the chair around to reveal that the artist was just Crazy Celes disguised as Stephen Hillenburg.

     

    “RRRRRAAAAAHHHHH!” Celes cried as she instantly pounced on Adrian and held her down to the ground against her will. “Are you ready for your interview now?”

     

    “Finally, I have you!” she gloated. “Mwa ha ha ha ha! AH HA HA HA HA...OOOOOHHHH…”

     

    All of a sudden, Celes collapsed unconscious on top of Adrian, who immediately shoved her off and got up. Wondering what had caused her to suddenly faint, she examined Celes’ body and realized what happened when she saw the pen Celes had given Felix jammed into the back of her head. She then looked over to Felix, who smiled as he held out the vial of the poison.

     

    “I laced that pen I used to stab her with powerful neurotoxins.” he explained. “Even with her powers, she won’t be getting up from that for a while.”

     

    “Though I could’ve escaped myself…” Adrian replied as she flexed her arm muscles, trying to assure her pride. “...I very much appreciate the stress and trouble you saved me.”

     

    Looking around, the two witnessed all of the other storyboard artists vanishing into black puffs of smoke along with their computers, revealing that they were all just part of an illusion.

     

    “So North Korea didn’t kidnap a bunch of artists to work on bringing a shipping fantasy in an American cartoon to life after all.” Felix remarked. “Good to have one less worry, I guess. If they were real, I wouldn’t want them to end up as literal starving artists.”

     

    “We still have plenty of other worries, however.” Adrian reminded him. “The most pressing one right now being that we need to catch up with the others as quickly as we can. With the precious time this shit cost us, I don’t think we’ll be able to scavenge quickly enough on foot.”

     

    “The chopper would probably draw too much attention…” Felix mused. “But in worst case, we are going to have to improvise. It’s not like a better option is going to come crashing through the window.”

     

    However, Felix was soon proved wrong, as the machine gun SOF had knocked out of the soldier’s hands earlier had somehow flown all the way over to the studio. It crashed through the window and landed on its butt on the floor, causing it to shoot a bullet through the roof before it fell down on its side. The Bruce siblings stared at the sight with flabbergasted expressions on their faces before Felix said…

     

    “...Bursting through the front door?”

     

    With that, a familiar Yo-Kai burst through the entrance to the studio, one that could travel at high speed. Adrian and Felix met the unicorn Yo-Kai…

     

    ...Elasticorn.

     

    WHAT A TWEEST! What is SOF doing then? What happened to the SBCers who were captured? Will Kim Jong-un’s sister steal the Olympics? Find out next time on Total! SOF! Island!
