How Muppet Worlds Are Connected

[animalrescuer]

Chapter 9:
Later that night, everyone has arrived and rather puzzled by what has been happening.
"I don't understand why we're here.", Bert said.
"Yeah, What's going on?", Gobo asked.
"Is something wrong?", Bean asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes, there is, Bean.", Kermit answered.
"What is it?", Red asked with some worry in her voice.
"We all may be in really big trouble.", Kermit explained calmly to the gang.
"Why?", asked Boober trembling.
"Because Doc Hopper is making a return back to the Muppet world and plans on taking revenge.", Kermit answered.
(All the Muppets gasp in unison)
"Wait a second here. Who's Doc Hopper?", Philo asked.
"And why haven't we heard of him?", Gunge asked.
"He's the guy who tried to kill Kermit on our way to Hollywood!", Fozzie answered.
"What?", Philo said shocked.
"That's awful!", Gunge said.
"So what are we going to do?", Emmet asked.
"And how are we going to stop him?", Wembley asked.
Soon, all the Muppets voices are talking over each other in a state of panic.
"QUIET!", Kermit shouted.
"Thank you.", Kermit said calming down. "Listen, I don't know how we're going to stop him, but that's why we need to come up with a plan together and make sure he never comes back.", Kermit explained.
"Right", Fozzie said.
"So does anyone have any ideas on how we can stop Doc Hopper from potentially harming all of us?", Kermit asked.
"I don't know how I could possibly come up with an idea when you put it like that.", Boober said.
"Is he really going to try and hurt us, Kermit?", Wendell asked.
"It's very possible he might, Wendell. Just so all of you know, once we come up with a plan, we're entering very dangerous territory. We could encounter physical violence, we may be faced with gun play and it's very possible that any one of us may be harmed or even killed in the process.", Kermit explained.
(Muppets let out a collective gasp)
"So if anybody isn't ready to take on this challenge, now's the time to say so", Kermit said sternly.
"I'm out.", Boober said immediately.
"Me, too", Rizzo said.
"You can count me out", Gunge said.
"That goes double for me", Philo said.
"No way I'm being a part of this", Harvey said.
"I'm splittin' the scene", Be-bop replied.
All the muppets start wanting out of this very dangerous mission.
"HOLD IT!", shouted Fozzie.
"What is wrong with you, guys? I thought we were doing this together. I know all of you are scared, but we have to do this! Surely you encountered situations as dangerous as this. I've heard plenty of stories from all of you about facing adversity and beating the odds. We can't let Doc Hopper win. We have to work together and save our homes from being destroyed forever. I know that everyone here hasn't worked with each other before, but this time we must!", Fozzie explained.
"Well, I guess when you put it like that ... in that case, I'm back in.", Boober said.
"So am I", Rizzo said.
"Don't forget me", Gunge said.
"Me, too", Philo said.
"I'm hoppin' back in", Be-bop said.
(Muppets agree)
"Thanks, guys. I knew you'd never let me down. We'll work together and save the places that we love and get rid of Doc Hopper for good!"
(Muppet cheer, then Kermit starts singing)
Kermit: There's nowhere in the world I would rather be than with you my friends.
Fozzie: And there's nothing in the world that I would rather see than your smiles my friends.
Both: For united we stand, divided we fall.
And if our backs should ever be against the wall,
we'll be together, together, you and I.
All Muppets: For united we stand, divided we fall.
And if our backs should ever be against the wall,
we'll be together, together, you and I.
Grover: And if the world around us falls apart my friend
Wembley: Then I'll still be here.
Be-Bop: And if the going gets too hard along the way,
Emmet: Just you call and you'll hear
Muppets: For united we stand, divided we fall.
And if our backs should ever be against the wall,
we'll be together, together, you and I.
Fozzie: Sing it loud and sing it strong, everyone! Big finish!
Muppets: For united we stand, divided we fall.
And if our backs should ever be against the wall,
we'll be together, together, you and I.
"So is everyone ready to face Doc Hopper and show him what we're made of?", Kermit shouted.
"Yeah!", all the Muppets shouted back.
"Okay. Here's the plan", Kermit said and gathers everyone is somewhat of a huddle and whispers the big plan to the gang.

 

[RedPiggy]

LOL. I'm kinda surprised no one said "Kermit, why's this OUR problem? All he wants to kill is YOU." Heheh. Still. I'm getting even more interested to see where this goes.

Chapter 10:
Scooter and Fozzie explain to everyone about what Doc Hopper said about getting revenge.
"What exactly did you guys hear from Doc Hopper?", Gonzo asked.
"Well, we were on our way to the theater when we heard a familiar voice.", Scooter explained.
"I hoped it wasn't who we thought it was, but it was indeed, Doc Hopper", Fozzie added.
"He said, 'It's been several years since I've been beaten by that frog and those friends of his. Now I'm taking revenge on him and the places where he and his precious friends live. By the time I get through here, these places will be destroyed and then onto the frog and everyone else. They'll be working for me before they know it.' That's how we knew we would be in danger", Scooter finished off.
"That's terrible", Wembley said.
"That's why we need a good plan", Kermit said.
"Where's Doc Hopper now?", Robin asked
"He's near the toughest place in the Muppet world, Riverbottom", Scooter said.
"Wait a minute. Is that where the Riverbottom Gang lives?", Harvey asked.
"I'm afraid so, Harvey", Scooter said.
"Great. We have to get past those guys first before we handle Doc Hopper", Red pointed out.
"Maybe so, but we have to try to make it through so we can stop Doc Hopper", Kermit said.
"Right, cheif", Scooter said.
"What do we do, Uncle Kermit?", Robin asked
"Well, we have the whole gang here, now we come up with some ideas like how to get past the Riverbottom Gang once we get there and how to find Doc Hopper and distract any henchmen Doc Hopper has so they won't see us moving in and finally catching Hopper before he tries anything.", Kermit explained.
"Sounds good to me", Gobo said.
"It's perfect", Gonzo said.
"Okay. Everyone ready?", Kermit asked they gang
"Yeah!", everyone shouted.
"Let's go for it!" Kermit shouted and the gang takes off for the bus and puts their plan into action.

 

[animalrescuer]

Chapter 11:
The bus drove on well into the morning until they were getting close to Riverbottom. No one has any idea what would happen once they reach there or whether or not the Riverbottom Gang would see them and turn on them.
"Are we there yet?", Philo asked.
"No. Not yet, Philo.", Kermit said.
"We're getting close though.", Scooter said.
"You know, I've never seen the Riverbottom Gang before and I'm nervous about seeing them", Wembley said.
"You're not the only one, Wembley", Lugsy replied
"What are they like anyway?", Grover asked.
"Trust me, you don't want to know", Harvey answered.
"He's right, they can be pretty nasty sometimes", Kermit said.
"Sometimes? Try all the time.", Red said.
"Well, we'll know soon because...we're here", Scooter gulped.
"Sheesh. What a crummy place", Gunge said.
"Not even Marjory would want to be here", Philo replied.
"I don't think anybody would want to be here.", Gobo said.
"Then I say let's leave", Boober said in a slight panic.
"No. We have to get through to find Doc Hopper", Kermit said.
"As long as we don't find the Riverbottom Gang first", Fozzie said
"or they don't find us first", Rizzo added.
But it was too late. The Riverbottom Gang surprised everyone by the sound of their car zooming beside them and knew they were caught.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?", Weasel asked meanacingly
"Looks like a bunch of tresspassers to me, Weasel", Lizard said.
"Of course they're tresspassers, you idiot.", Weasel said to Lizard.
"What do you guys want?", Red asked angrily.
"In case you haven't noticed, this is our turf", Snake said.
"Of course, if you don't know who we are, we'll tell ya who we are", Weasel said.
Rock music begins playing as they sing about themselves.
We take what we want, we do anything that we wish.
We got no respect for animal, birdie or fish.
The grass does not grow on the places where we stop and stand.
Riverbottom Nightmare Band.
We know we're a mess, our type does not like to be clean.
We don't brush our teeth 'cause our toothache can help us stay mean.
We don't wish to learn, but we hate what we don't understand.
Riverbottom.
We you see us comin', you better start a-runnin'.
We're always startin' trouble and we're happiest when things are out of hand.
Tempers are a-boilin', parties are a-spoilin'.
We either have to sit and pout or else go out and terrorize the land.
Riverbottom Nightmare Band.
We laugh in your face or we practice our growl and our sneer.
We break up your place, we are dangerous when we are near.
And when we are done with our song, who will get the biggest hand?
Riverbottom Nightmare Band! Riverbottom Nightmare Band!
"So unless you want trouble, I suggest you get out of our land!", Weasel yelled.
"Trust me, we'll gladly do that!", Gunge yelled back.
"Wait a minute, Gunge. Let's not be hasty. Do you guys know where Doc Hopper is around here?", Kermit asked as nicely as possible.
"Of course we know where he is. He's in a shabby old wooden house not far from here. He's tough, even we're not brave enough to mess with that guy", Weasel said.
"There's a big surprise", Red said sarcastically.
"Red. Be quiet", Gobo scolded.
"Sorry", Red said.
"Hmm. Well, maybe if you guys are with us, maybe you can help get rid of him for good.", Kermit suggested.
"WHAT?", the whole gang shouted in unison.
"What kind of idea is that?", Lugsy asked.
"Are you nuts?", Grover asked.
"You are out of your mind!", Boober said.
"They would never want to join us! Never in a million years", Be-bop added.
"And we'd never do them same", Gobo said.
"Wait a minute. maybe he's onto something there", Scooter said defending his boss' idea.
"Oh, great. Now he's lost his marbles", Miss Piggy griped.
"Well, if it means getting him off our territory, then I'd say..."
Just as Weasel was about to say No, Chuck comes in and says,"We'd love to".
"Oh yeah. Sure. Why not?", the rest of the gang said following Chuck's orders.
"Terrific", Gunge griped under his breath.
"Why do I get the feeling that this was a bad idea to begin with?", Red asked.
So both gangs joined up, much to the dismay of everyone else, and headed straight for Doc Hopper's hideout.

 

[animalrescuer]

Chapter 12:
As the bus gets closer to the hideout, the Riverbottom Gang directs Fozzie, who's driving, to Doc Hopper's location.
"You're almost there, I can tell ya that much", Weasel said.
"I can't wait to get my hands on that Doc Hopper. I'll "moidilize" 'im", Rizzo said eager to fight.
"Easy, Rizzo", Gonzo told his friend.
"Hold it!", Snake shouted as Fozzie put on the brakes.
"What is it, you dolt?", Weasel asked.
"There it is, Doc Hopper's hideout", Snake said as he pointed with his tail
Just by looking at it, everyone knew they had to be careful and make sure they don't get spotted.
"Oh, boy. How are we going to get in there without Doc Hopper seeing us?", Scooter asked.
"That ain't the only thing you have to worry about. Hopper has plenty of henchmen guarding the place and if they spot you, you're in a lotta trouble.", Lizard told the Muppets as they hid in the bus.
"Well, then we have to come up with a good distraction.", Kermit whispered.
"What kind of distraction?", The Count asked.
"Something long enough that we can sneak in without being noticed", Kermit answered.
"But who can make a distraction as good as that?", Bean asked.
"Don't worry, I know just the guy who can do it. Gonzo, come here.", Kermit commanded.
"Yes, boss?", Gonzo said.
"I need you to come up with a good distraction long enough so we can sneak in", Kermit said.
"You got it. I've got just the thing up my sleeve.", Gonzo said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, boy. Knowing him, I'm sure it's going to be silly", Rizzo said
"Face it, with Gonzo, you don't know what he's gonna do", Gobo said.
"Besides, you don't think he's gonna do something really silly as shooting himself out of a cannon or something like that do you?", Lugsy asked.
Suddenly, Latin music begins playing and Gonzo appears with a spotlight dressed in a multicolored ruffled shirt with maracas in hand.
"No, I expect him to do something like that", Rizzo said as he pointed to Gonzo's display.
"I don't know about this", Bert said nervously.
"Just stay hidden until it's safe and whatever you do, nobody dance, no matter how fun the music is to dance to", Kermit whispered to the gang.
Gonzo: They call me Cuban Pete.
I'm the king of the Rumba beat.
When I play the maracas, I go chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom.
Yes, sir, I'm Cuban Pete.
I'm the craze of my native street.
When I start to dance, everything goes chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom.
The Senoritas, they sing and they swing with their Rumbero.
It's very nice, so full of spice.
And when they dance, they bring a happy ring, they're a care-o, singing a song, all the day long.
So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete.
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom- chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom.
"This is ridiculous, Kermit.", Miss Piggy griped.
"Let's see if it's working", Kermit whispered.
Sure enough, the distraction was working and all the henchmen were dancing along with Gonzo.
"Okay, guys. Distraction's working. Time to move in, but remember, stay quiet and try to stay unnoticed.", Kermit said.
The Muppets follow Kermit in a line and stay quiet as possible. Suddenly, Bean begins to dance also and Grover follows suit.
"Will you two stop dancing? We're going to get caught if you dance.", Lugsy said having caught the two dancing to the music.
Gonzo notices the group move in and soon follows them making a grand exit from his performance.
Soon, everyone reaches the back of the hideout and head inside not knowing what they would find inside.

Chapter 13:
When entering the hideout, it was dark and creepy. Looking around, they notice pieces of paper that look like maps or blueprints.
"Sheesh. What a creepy place for a creep like Doc Hopper", Miss Piggy said.
"Now the hard part is figuring out what Doc Hopper's plans are", Kermit whispered.
"By the way, Gonzo, nice distraction, even though it was a little over the top", Rizzo chuckled.
"Thanks", Gonzo replied.
"Guys, look at this! I think I found something", Scooter cried.
"What is it, Scooter?", Red asked.
"I think I found the plans", Scooter answered
"Well, read them already", Philo said impatiently
"It's not something that can be read, it's more like a map or a blueprint", Scooter said.
"What's it a map of?", Count asked.
"It's a map of some kind of studio lot, I think.", Scooter said
"What's the location of it?", Harvey asked.
Scooter glanced at the map and comes to a terrifying conclusion. "You're not going to believe this, but it's where all our homes are right now", he told the gang.
"What? You mean he's going to destroy the Muppet Theater?", Robin asked
"and Sesame Street?", Bert replied
"and Fraggle Rock?", Gobo replied
"and Frogtown Hollow and Waterville?", Wendell replied
"and the meadow?", Bean replied
"Everything. That means we have to stop him before it's too late", Scooter said.
"Hate to break up the operation, but I have a feeling we have company comin'", Rowlf said.
Sure enough, Kermit looks out of a window and Doc Hopper's gang are heading right for them.
"Oh, no. We're gonna get spotted!", Wembley cried
"What are we gonna do?", Snort asked
"The only thing we can do", Kermit said
"What's that?", Be-bop asked
"Sneak out the back", Kermit answered
"Good idea", Grover said
The Muppets hurriedly run out the back and head back to the bus long before they're spotted. Now they need to come up with a plan to stop Doc Hopper in his tracks before they lose they're homes forever.

Chapter 14:
In the early hours of the morning, every one is in place to put the master plan into action.
"Any sign of him, Scooter?", Gonzo asked.
"Not yet, but we're ready for Doc Hopper when he comes", Scooter replied.
"Okay, everyone knows what they're supposed to do?", Kermit asked.
"The Muppet gang gives a nod.
"We'll show him a thing or two about messing with us", Rizzo said.
"Wait. I see him! He's coming!", Scooter yells.
"Okay, everyone, hide until I give the signal", Kermit said.
Doc Hopper and several cars approach. As they get out, Hopper surveys the scenery.
"This whole area will be perfect for the big lot I'll replace with the frog's area. Now let's start with this dumb theater.", Doc said as he approached with his men having sledgehammers in tow.
"NOW!", Kermit yells.
Suddenly, the Muppets launch the attack on Doc Hopper and his men in their own ways.
Most of them jumped on the men to drag them to the ground, Miss Piggy used her martial arts towards Doc Hopper, Bean and the bunnies used their feet to kick and Wendell, being a porcupine, used his quills.
Then in the middle of the attack, Hopper and the men corner all of the Muppets and surrounded them despite their attempts to thwart their plans.
"Well, frog, looks like time's up for you and your sappy friends and I'm gonna tear everything down whether you like it or not", Hopper said menacingly.
Now they don't know what to do and they've run out of options. Suddenly, a rumbling almost shakes everyone of their feet. Then the roof of the theater cracked open and revealed...Animal's head emerging and giving out a loud roar, enough to scare Hopper and his men and causing them to run.
"You win once again, frog. You can have all your places, forever!", Hopper yells as he ran.
The Muppets celebrate their major victory, their homes and the theater was safe.
"We did it, Kermit!", Fozzie cried.
"We did, but how did Animal get big again?", Kermit asked
"I'm gald you asked that, Mr. Kermit", a voice said.
Then Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker appear out of the theater.
"Bunsen, how did you know that Doc Hopper was coming?", Kermit asked.
"Well, I've heard from everyone here, so Beaker and I popped out the Insta-Grow pills again after several years for just such an occasion", Bunsen answered with Beaker replying in meeps.
"Good thing you didn't change the formula", Gonzo said making everyone laugh.
"At least Doc Hopper won't come back again, right, Uncle Kermit?", Robin asked.
"Right, Robin and we all did it together and we saved our homes from crumbling.", Kermit said.
"But there's only one problem out of it.",Scooter said.
"What's that?", Kermit said
"We're going to have to repair the roof and wait until Animal shrinks again", Scooter answered.
"Don't worry, the effect of the pills is sadly temporary", Bunsen said
"Sadly temporary", Beaker replies
"Thank goodness for that", Miss Piggy said.
Everyone agrees with that comment.
