Finally, the event seven months in the making, chapter 11 of Super Muppets!
Chapter 11: Final Showdown!
Piggy soared through the air around the mutants. She flew up to the mutant Clueless and planted a hard punch on his face. The giant goat fell to the street in a heap.
“Ha!" the super pig gloated. Just as she was about to land a flying kick to the goat’s head, Polly lifted his claw and knocked her out of the sky.
As Piggy crashed to the street, Gonzo ran swiftly up Polly’s leg and onto his shell, with Rizzo on his shoulder, hanging on for dear life.
“Ready, pal?" Gonzo asked his friend.
“No!" Rizzo shouted.
Gonzo grabbed the rat and threw him onto Polly’s shell. “Good luck!"
Rizzo landed hard on the shell. He proceeded to take a huge bite of it.
Polly screamed a high-pitched shriek. He reached back to his shell with his claw, trying to knock the rat off of it. Luckily, Gonzo quickly ran back, grabbed Rizzo, and zoomed off of the giant mutant lobster.
Meanwhile, Ramona had driven the bus back to the boarding house. She, Bunsen, and Ashley all quickly ran out of the parked bus and burst through the front door.
“Okay," Ramona said, her breath heaving. “Bunsen, you’ve got to go get the chemical antidote from the lab!"
“Right” Bunsen ran to the lab in the basement.
Ashley grabbed her friend’s hand. “We have to go back there in case they need us!" she exclaimed.
Ramona shook her head, pulling her hand back. “Ashley, Kermit was right," she said calmly. “It’s too dangerous. We almost got killed! We need to stay here!"
Ashley scowled, and ran over to turn the television on.
Ramona rolled her eyes. “How can you think of TV at a time like this?"
Ashley surfed through the channels, never taking her eyes off of the screen.
“Some news channel’s got to be covering the fight," she said. Finally, she switched to channel 4, where the fight between the Super Muppets and the mutants was being reported.
The blonde haired news anchor was standing several hundred feet away from the part of the town in which the fight was taking place.
“Just moments after the city was attacked by three giant robots," she began, an edge of panic audible on her voice. “a fight has broken out between what can only be described as a giant mutant goat and lobster, and a group of real-life super-“ she was cut off as Gonzo came flying through the air and crashed to the ground next to her.
The newswoman looked down. “Are...are you all right?"
Gonzo got up. “Never better!" he said, despite being a bit bruised. He looked at the camera and waved cheerfully, before turning around to speed back to the fight.
Ashley sat down on the carpet. “I still think we should be helping them.”
Just as Ramona was about to reply, the two friends heard Bunsen’s voice coming from the basement.
“Girls! I seem to have misplaced the antidote!"
Ashley sighed. “Man, I don’t believe this!"
Ramona shrugged, “Well, you wanted to help," she told her. Both girls ran to the basement.
Suddenly, Ashley’s mind once again drifted to a sudden realization. She grabbed her friend’s forearm. “Hey, Ramona, wasn’t Robin on the bus with us before I ran into the building?"
Ramona nodded. “Yeah, and he was there when I followed you, but....not when we drove back here....," she realized.
“He must have gone out to fight , too!" Ashley exclaimed.
Ramona ran back up the stairs and out to the driveway.
“Dude, where are you going?" Ashley called.
“It’s too dangerous for him to be out there!" Ramona called back. “I’ve got to bring him back here!"
Ashley darted upstairs after her. “Hey, wait for me!" She followed Ramona out the door and to the bus.
As the girls pulled away from the house, Bunsen came up the stairs with a vial labeled “Antidote”. “Girls, I was wrong. The antidote was in the refrigerator the entire time," he said, gazing at the red liquid. Just then, he looked up and realized that he was talking to himself. “Girls?" He ran outside only to find that the bus was gone. “Oh my...” He turned to run as fast as he could back into town.
Meanwhile, across town, the fight continued.
Sam created several tornadoes and used them against Polly, The largest one managed to knock the giant lobster off his feet, sending him crashing to the ground.
Polly roared with rage and swirled around, using his tail to knock Sam into a building. He roared with laughter, but those laughs were quickly turned into howls of pain as his tail was toasted by Johnny’s flames.
Enraged, Polly turned around and knocked the singer aside with his claw.
Meanwhile, Clueless smashed his fists onto the street, hoping to crush Pepe, who darted between them. The little prawn hid behind a parked SUV as the giant goat’s fists swung down and crushed the massive vehicle, but not Pepe behind it.
“Missed me!" Pepe boasted, right as Clueless swung his fist down toward him again. Janice leaped in front of Pepe just in time and created a force field to protect him and herself. Clueless’ fist hit the force field instead.
“Ow!" the massive goat howled in pain.
Just then, the girls pulled up in the bus a few yards away from the battle. Ashley and Ramona ran up to Kermit, who was watching the fight from a safe distance.
“Kermit!" Ramona shouted, out of breath.
Kermit turned to them. “Girls, what are you doing here?" he asked. “I told you to stay at home!"
“Where’s Robin?" Ramona inquired.
Kermit gasped. “I thought he was home with you!"
“No," Ashley said. “Is he in the fight?"
Kermit looked over at the battle taking place in the street. “Not that I’ve seen.”
Ramona grunted in frustration. “Then where could he be?"
Meanwhile, Walters gazed down at the fight from the top of his office building.
“Yes, destroy those freaks," he chortled maniacally. “No one messes with Donald F. Walters!"
Suddenly, Robin leaped on top of the roof from the street. He hopped behind Walters. “You were going to hurt innocent people just to make more money!" he cried.
Walters turned around and glared at the little frog. “You!" he snarled. “You’re one of them!"
Robin nodded. “You can’t destroy my family!" he shouted. He leaped up and hopped on top of Walters’ bald head several times.
“Stop that! Ow!" Walters snapped, trying to grab the prepubescent amphibian.
From the street, Ashley looked up and saw what was happening on the roof of Walters Bunkers, Inc.
“Hey look!" she said to Ramona and Kermit, pointing up. “Robin’s up there!"
Ramona ran to the building. “I’ll go get him!" She ran inside and toward the elevator, with Ashley and Kermit right behind her.
Just then, Bunsen ran up, the antidote still in tow.
“I have the antidote!" he shouted, waving it in the air.
Three Sal duplicates ran down the street as Polly chased them. “What took you so long?" they all demanded.
Skeeter, who had transformed into a bear, wrestled around with Clueless. “Look, never mind that," she told Bunsen. “Just give it to us so that we can make them take it!"
Bunsen tossed her one vial of the chemical, and tossed a Sal duplicate another.
Meanwhile, Robin continued hopping on Walters’ head as the girls and Kermit arrived on the scene.
“Robin!" the three of them cried.
Robin leaped off of Walters’ head and was about to hop to his uncle and the girls, but the evil CEO grabbed him in mid-air.
But just as Walters was about to toss the little frog off of the roof, Ramona snatched Robin out of the hands of the evil businessman, placing him down.
Angered, Walters grabbed Ramona by the arm, but Ramona jerked her arm back and shoved him away. Walters stumbled back, tripped over the ledge, and went flying off the roof.
“Oh no!" Ramona cried. “I didn’t mean for that to happen!"
“Even if he was an evil creep," Ashley added.
Ramona glared at her. “Not helping, girl.”
Kermit ran to the ledge. “No, Ramona, look!" He pointed to Piggy, who was sailing through the air with Walters in tow.
Piggy glared at the villain. “Don’t say anything, buster, or I’ll change my mind," she warned him.
Meanwhile, the battle was wrapping up, as Skeeter had gotten the upper hand in the wrestling match between her and Clueless. She popped the topped off of her vial and fed the mutated goat the antidote. Clueless shrunk down to his normal size.
Elsewhere, Sal had led Polly to a light pole, where Pepe had made another slingshot out of it and his arm.
Clifford got the lobster’s attention with an energy blast to his face. Polly glared toward him long enough for Sal to fire the antidote vial down his throat. Polly too shrunk down to his normal size.
The Super Muppets all formed a circle around Walters’ henchmen, glaring at them.
“Heh, heh, no hard feelings, right?" Polly inquired.
A few minutes later, Kermit, Robin and the girls had regrouped with the others and the police had arrived on the scene and had Walters and his henchmen in handcuffs.
Clueless turned to Polly as they were being led to a police car. “You know, I think I’ve learned a valuable...” he began.
“SHUT UP," Polly snapped. The two were shoved into the police car.
Walters, also being led to a police car, turned to our heroes with a smirk on his face. “You Muppets think I’m bad, wait till you meet my lawyers!" He chortled, as he was shoved in.
As the police cars pulled away, the Muppets and girls just exchanged looks of confusion.
