Chapter 5: The Torment Begins
"Come on, Elmo can't with Robin!" The beast told the young frog.
"Me either!" Robin said to Elmo. "So where is Elmo's World anyway?"
"It's on the top floor of this next building! Here we are!" The demon said.
There it was. The building where a plot to bring about the end of the Earth, and Robin was about to enter it.

"Piggy, I can't believe you karate chopped Baby Bear!" Kermit told Miss Piggy.
"Ooo, that little bear makes me so mad! I don't care if his parents sue me! Moi is a diva, the court most certanly can't send moi to jail." Piggy said.
"Piggy, don't worry, I don't think the bears will press charges." Kermit reassured her.
"Vous really think so Kermie?" She asked.
"I know so, I've already apoligized to Mr. and Mrs. Bear for you Piggy." Kermit told her.
"Oh thank vous Kermie!" She hugged him. "Now if vous will excuse moi, I have to get back to my shopping!"
"Alright Piggy I geuss I'll just go see everyone on the street then." Kermit said as he realized Robin went with Elmo. He felt that vibe again. "Sheesh. I hope Robin's okay."

"Robin welcome to Elmo's World!" The red demon told the little frog.
"Wow!" Robin exclaimed as he looked at all the furniture drawn by crayon. "Did you draw all of this Elmo?"
"Yep, Elmo did it all when he got to Sesame Street." He explained. "Why doesn't Robin have a seat while Elmo gets us some snacks!"
Robin looked ahead of him and saw a green armchair that seemed to be made just for him. He walked up to it and hopped in.
That was a mistake.
As soon as Robin sat down in the chair hand restraints came out of the arm rests and base of the chair and prevented Robin from moving.
"Hey, what is this?!?" Robin cryed.
"A trap." Elmo said as he walked out from behind the chair. "And Robin has fallen right into it. You see Robin, Elmo is really the greatest evil the world has ever known. I was released from my eternal rest fifteen years ago. And now I'm here to take over the world!" The demon explained to his prisoner.
"Take over the world!?!" Robin said. "I won't let you!"
"It's to late for that. In fact, Robin is going to help Elmo." Elmo snickered.
"No, I'll never help you, you're evil!" Robin said as he began to cry.
"Why thank you Robin. But let's get to the point. Baby Bear!" Elmo called.
"Wight hewe Elmo!" Baby Bear said as he wheeled in something under a tarp.
"Good, now, Elmo is going to give Robin a quadrolobal brain probe." The beast told his sobbing victim.
"A what?" Robin managed to say.
"A quadrolobal brain probe. I take out your brain, wash it, polish it, then I'll put into that tank over there." Elmo said as he pointed to a jar already labeled "Frog Brain."
Robin had made a puddle on the floor by now. "But if you take my brain how can I help you?" The frog asked hoping Elmo hadn't thought about that.
"It's simple, after Robin's brain is Elmo's, I'll place this remote control inside in place of the brain. That way Elmo will be able to control Robin!" Elmo told him.
"NO! Please don't take my brain!" He cryed. "Please!"
"It's to late for that! Baby Bear bring me the quadrolobal brain prober!" Elmo called to his lackey.
"Yes sew!" Baby Bear said as he removed the tarp and positioned the machine over Robin's head.
"Now!" The demon ordered.
"NO!!!" Robin cryed.

"Well Ernie, Bert, thanks for the tea, but it's getting late. I have to go get Robin from Elmo's." Kermit told the duo.
"Are you sure you know how to get there?" Ernie asked
"Not really." He admitted. "You guys wanna come?"
"Alright, I can eat my oatmeal when we get back." Bert sighed.
The three of them walked down Sesame Street as the sun began to set. It reflected off the trashcans at first, then moved to the windows, then finnally set on Sesame Street. As soon as the sun set the street lights came on, except one. But of course it didn't come on, Biff and Sully were still working on it. Kermit had forgotten how much he missed this place, it was magical.
Wouldn't it be wonderful, he thought. If Robin and I could live here? Maybe not, what would the gang do with out me. He recalled the time he wished he were never born, and found out what it would be like. So he banished the thought of moving to Sesame Street. For now.
"We're here Kermit!" Bert told the frog.
"Do you want to go in?" Ernie asked.
"No, let's just call up on the intercom." Bert answered.
"Okay." Kermit said as he pushed the red button on the intercom and said, "Um, Elmo, it's Kermit, Kermit the Frog. I'm here to pick up Robin."
"Oh hi Mr. Kermit, Robin and Elmo are on their way down!" The demonic voice said over the intercom.
"Oh good." Kermit said.
As Elmo and Robin walked out the door, Kermit felt the vibe, but stronger than ever before. And he knew something about Robin was different, he couldn't put his finger on it, but somehow he knew.
"ReAdY tO gO uNcLe KeRmIt?" The young frog asked.
"Robin?" He asked. "Are you... Okay?"
"FiNe UnClE kErMiT, jUsT tIrEd." The frog told his uncle.
"Okay... If you're sure." Kermit said, still feeling his vibe.
"Bye Robin, Ernie, Bert, Mr. Kermit! See you later!" The demon said. My plan is working perfect. Perfect. He thought as he went back into the building to plot the rest of his revenge.
