The TSD Kids:

The S.P.F. Gang!

Lv. 19

Big Battle!

S.P.F. vs. TSD

(Part 2)

I guess the easy part has ended… after getting out of the base, we find M. Bison and Edge out in the open, but that’s not all whom we find… All nine of my friends were there, safe and sound! …Or so I thought… they all started saying that I did a bunch of bad stuff to them! Things that they’ve told me about before! It turns out that Bison used the Mind Manipulator on them, but Edge filled their head with all those lies! Now it seems we’ve no choice but to fight them!

Edge: “Get them! Get them all!”

The TSD Kids started to advance on us!

Chun-Li: “Hey T, any ideas? These are your friends, after all!”

T: “Uh…”

Sofia: “Thunder Net!”

Sofia created an electro-barrier, fencing the others off from me!

Rick: Get the n00b!”

T: “What the hell did you just call… Oof!”

They all jumped me and started attacking! Now if anything else, I hated being called a n00b. That’s what you’re called if you aren’t good at anything! And that’s something I’m not!

“So, I’m a n00b, eh?” I said while dodging their attacks.

TSD Kids: “That’s right!”

T: “Then take this! Bye-Bye Balloon!”

After I transformed, I inhaled a large amount of air, and expanded my body so much; I knocked them all away! They hit the barrier, making it disappear!

Hsien-ko: “That’s funny! He called it that cause’ he sent them flying!”

Tracy: “I’ll show you what’s funny, you blue-faced freak!”

Tracy was about to sock her with a large metal fist, but…

CRUNCH!!

Cotton bit her arm!

Tracy: “OWWW!!”

Cotton the Bunny: “(Sorry, Tracy! Sorry about this, too!)”

He double kicked her away!

Dan: “Yahoo! Can’t catch me!”

Sho: “Stand still, you idiot!”

Sho missed many times in trying to hit Dan with his sword, cause’ Dan was rolling around!

T: “Updraft!”

Sho: “Whoa!”

I sent him flying!

Tessa: Behind you, T!”

T: “Huh? Aah!”

I was tripped up by a burst of water! Before I knew it, Sofia, Ellis, and T-na were standing over me, ready to hit me!

Sofia: “Any last words?”

T: “Uh, yeah… HOLY CRAP! Is that your memory, your dad, and my super cool flying castle up there in the air?!”

Sofia/Ellis/T-na: “What?!”

All three looked around!

T: “How pathetic!”

From the ground, I kicked T-na and Sofia away! Then as Ellis turned around, I got up and…

WHACK!

...Gave her a serious headbutt that stunned her, since it was to the forehead!

Ellis: “I’m seeing stars… Hey!”

As I was standing there alone, in her head, she saw double, or triple, of even more than that!

Ellis: “The Substitute technique? No fair! Which one are you?!”

She kept on stabbing at thin air. The fact that she wasn’t even close to hitting me was highly laughable.

T: “Ha, ha, ha, ha! You got doinked!”

Ellis: “D-don’t laugh at me! You took my father away!”

T: “I didn’t. Don’t let what Edge did to you fool you; I’m your friend!”

Ellis: “I-I don’t believe you…”

T: “Look at me!”

Finally coming to, she looked me square in the eye.

T: “Look! I didn’t do it… believe me. We’re friends, aren’t we? That alone should be proof.”

Ellis: “But you’re the bad guy… you did all those bad things…”

T: “Don’t you remember the promise I made you? I promised to help find your father!”

Ellis: “But you did all those bad things… or didn’t you…?”

Kayin: “Hey! Leave her alone!”

Kayin threw a large ice ball my way!

T: “TNT Punch!”

I blew up the ball as he landed.

T: “Get a grip, man! I’m not your enemy!”

Kayin: “Tell it to someone who cares!”

T: “Bomb Uppercut!”

I decked him and knocked him away.

Felicia: “Meow! Assistance please!”

T: “I’m coming!”

I ran forward, then looked back at Ellis, then continued to help Felicia.

Rick: “We’re taking you down, cat!”

Rick and Sean, with wand and spear ready, cornered the catgirl. Then I stepped in front of them!

T: “Ganging up on a girl… how cowardly!”

Sean: “Why should we be reasonable with villains like you?”

T: “Come to your senses! Rick, I helped saved your family! And Sean, your problem came from an experiment gone awry!”

Rick: “What? That’s a lie, I know it!”

Sean: “She probably helped you, too!”

Felicia: “Oh man…”

Rick: “What makes you think we’ll believe you so easily?”

T: “Do you know how great you felt when your family was finally free? I was there. I saw the look on your face!”

Rick: “Oh… I think I… I don’t understand…”

Sean: “He’s the bad guy!”

Sean fired a Tech Arrow, but I grabbed it just inches from my face.

T: “Sean, you’re a man of science; think back. Was I even with you when you found out what happened to you?”

Sean: “Uh… no, it was… Tracy… was it her, then? Did you make her do it?”

T: “No! It was long before you even met any of us!”

Sean: “This doesn’t add up…”

When they were left thinking, Felicia and I moved away from them.

So far it was looking like a real battlefield, everyone was fighting to their fullest! If this weren’t a serious matter, I’d have assumed this was one hell of a training session!

T: “I don’t know if I reached them or not, but I gotta try!”

I ran into the open.

T: “Hey! I’m over here! I’m just waiting to get pwned! Come and get it!!”

Automatically, they all responded and ran my way!

Morrigan: “Is T trying to lead them into a trap?”

Chun-Li: “I hope so; these guys are tough!”

T: “Closer… closer… that’s it! Bright Flash!”

Sofia: “That light!”

Eiji: “I can’t see!”

My blinding burst of light rendered them sightless temporarily, but it was enough time to try and get my message across.

T: “Guys, try and think back! Was it really me who caused all that trouble?”

Sho: “That’s what we were told about you!”

T: “Those fake thoughts are clouding your real ones! Don’t let them beat you!”

Tracy: “If what you’re saying is true… and that’s a really big IF…”

T: “Come on! Who’s the one always leading the team?”

Sofia: “It’s… vague, but I’m seeing a blank face… with glasses…”

T-na: “I’m trying to remember, but I’m getting mixed signals…”

Tessa: “It looks like what they’re trying to believe, and what they were forced to believe are getting mixed together…”

Chun-Li: “Was I really acting like that?”

Edge: “Uh-oh, I think he’s getting through to them! What do we do, Bison? …Hey, where’d that guy go?”

Eiji: “Is this guy… really a good person?”

T: “You’re getting there! Come on, try harder!”

Bison: “That’s enough talk from you, boy!”

T: “Huh?”

Ryu: “No! It’s Bison!”

Sakura: “He can’t get out of the way in time!”

Bison: “Psycho Crusher!”

While flying and spinning forward, Bison, charged with Psycho Power, rammed into me at full speed! The TSD Kids, who were shocked by this, ran backward a few steps and watched as I landed on the ground a few good feet away!

Ellis: “That red guy got him…”

Tracy: “Strange… I feel kinda worried now…”

T: “Ohh…”

Bison approached me and picked me up by the neck.

Bison: “Just give up now, boy. If you swear allegiance to me, like your other little friends, then we can forget this ever happened…”

T: “And have my head filled with lies? No way!”

Bison: “Wrong answer!”

He then started using his power, as if he were trying to zap me with it!

T: “AAAAAAAAHHH!!”

Felicia: “T’s in danger!”

The S.P.F. Gang ran towards Bison to try and help me, but with one hand, he sent them all away with a wave of energy!

Sho: “Those people tried to help him… should we do the same?”

Rick: “We can’t! He’s evil… right?”

Sofia: “But, it hurts… it hurts to see him in pain… why??”

Kayin: “Kinda feels like I wanna help him, but I can’t…”

Bison: “(Thinking) The boy’s reached his limit… maybe I should let him live… he can be a good servant…”

T: “Let… me… go…”

Bison: “Still conscious, huh? If you follow under me, I won’t destroy you…”

T: “I said LET ME GO!!”

I countered his grab and sent him flying! Suddenly, I felt a familiar energy… the same energy that I used to create that energy burst back at the Organization base!

Tessa: “(Gasp!) Do you feel that?! His power level is skyrocketing!”

Ryu: “You’re right! It’s overwhelming!”

Suddenly I gave off a fiery red aura!

T: “(Distorted voice) Overheat Mode!”

Bison got up, but didn’t look too happy!

Bison: “You little punk! No has ever knocked me to the floor!”

T: “Shut up!!”

I used a heavy downdraft of wind to force Bison to the floor again!

Edge: “Uh-oh… this isn’t looking good for our side… good thing I brought this then…”

Edge rooted around in some bushes to pull out…

Edge: “My Power Axe! I almost killed those kids with this; this is what they get for calling me weak!”

T-na: “What happened to him? He’s… gotten stronger?”

Sofia: “But now I feel… relieved to see him standing…”

Edge: “Oh, T! Remember this?”

T: “What?”

Charging up power in his axe, he did the destructive…

Edge: “Burst Wave!”

The glowing wave of energy flew towards me at a high speed!

T: “You joke…”

Using only one finger, I stopped the attack right in its tracks!

T: “Don’t make me laugh… Shot Eraser!”

With those words, the Burst Wave disintegrated!

Tessa: “Such tremendous destructive energy… yet he stopped it with one finger!”

Edge: “W-what are you?! That nearly destroyed you last time!!”

Bison: “I must… admit… that attack was strong, even for you, Edge… how could he…?”

T: “No more talking! You disgust me!”

I took a few steps before fading away, like fog!

Edge: “Where’d he go??”

T: “Right behind you! Feel the pain!”

I reformed behind Edge and knocked him out cold with my hammer! As I stood on his back, I said,

T: “Stay down, you worm!”

Bison: “You…!”

PUNCH!

I punched Bison, square in the stomach, making him stagger backwards!

Bison: “What… are you waiting for…? Get him you… fools!”

Sean: “(As much as I don’t want to…) Yes, sir!”

The TSD Kids all ran towards me!

T: “Don’t interfere! Updraft!”

In Overheat Mode, my power was increased, so I lifted them all into the air!

T: “This Hybrid Skill will immobilize you! Shinkuu… Rain!”

This Skill, derived from Sakura’s abilities was executed like this: I fired one Shinkuu Hadouken into the air after them, then, it split into multiple shots, bombing them all in midair! They landed on the ground!

Bison: “Hmm, It makes no difference to me. I can still get more people to aid me in my goal!”

T: “No! I won’t allow it!”

I jumped backward.

T: “You can’t win!”

I dashed forward and warped away as fog to reappear behind him. I then launched him into the air with the hammer!

T: “I’ll show you that your ideals will never prosper!”

I jumped up after him, then dove down over him and started spinning, also spinning him too!

T: “Take this! Drill-o Drop!!”

I carried him straight down, leaving a crater on impact! The shockwave sent everyone to the ground! I then flipped off and landed on my feet.

T: “Beating bad guys to a pulp… I sure do get a kick outta this!”

Ken: “Did you see that?!”

Chun-Li: “I don’t believe it! It’s like he gave him a pile driver without grabbing him!”

The S.P.F. Gang approached me.

Cotton: “(T! What happened to you? Why are you glowing like that?)”

As soon as I heard the little bunny’s voice, I lost the mean attitude I suddenly acquired when I entered Overheat Mode. I still gave off an aura, though...

T: “Huh? Cotton, I… I don’t know…”

Cotton: “(Well aside from that, at least Edge is out cold…)”

Dan: “And it doesn’t look like that Bison dude is getting up anytime soon!”

T: “Yeah, all that’s left is… them.”

The TSD Kids were just getting up.

Morrigan: “They’re your friends; we can’t very well treat them they way you stomped those two.”

Chun-Li: “She’s right; if you found a way to get me back to normal, then it must work for them!”

T: “I don’t know any way, except…”

Then it hit me! It was after I zapped Chun-Li, not to mention everyone else! After the big shock, she was a little disoriented, but back to normal!

T: “Maybe… there is a way!”

Last time, I used Felicia’s copied power. I generated static electricity in the furry clothing I had.

“But to get all nine,” I thought, “I’d need a much bigger spark…”

I looked from left to right at The TSD Kids, who were just standing there. They were still trying to figure out what was the really the truth.

T: “For a really big shock… I got it!”

I looked directly at Sofia!

Sofia: “Why is he looking at me like that?”

T: “Hang on, guys, your freedom is just around the corner!”

I ran forward, then disappeared as fog again. I reappeared, hovering in front of Sofia!

T: “Guess what? I need your power. Now.”

Sofia: “First my memory, now my Thunder Power? What more do you want?”

T: “I’m not stealing it! I’m… sharing it!”

Sofia: “But… then did you really…?”

T: “Analyze Beam, copy… Sofia!”

I scanned her with A.N.A.L.Y.Z.E.R.

Sofia: “What did you just do??”

A.N.A.L.Y.Z.E.R.: Attention! Scanning complete! Elemental Energy recognized. Continue with Elemental Conversion?

T: “Yes! ThunderConversion!”

In a flash, my outfit changed! My ‘Tornado T’ hair was yellow, and my clothing was green, orange, purple and yellow. On my back was an electric power pack, with two buzzing antennae attached!

Sofia: “You… copied my power?”

T: “Yes, now please trust me. What you were told wasn’t true; I’m not your enemy! Please…”

Sofia: “I… I don’t know…”

T: “Trust me!”

Sofia: “O-okay…”

T: “Good, now focus your energy! I need a big charge!”

The confused Sofia started charging her Thunder energy, as I concentrated on my temporary energy to complete a spell I remembered reading about.

Eiji: “Hey, that guy’s doing something to Sofia!”

Tracy: “I dunno if what he’s saying is true, but he’s gotta be stopped!”

The other eight ran in to attack, but I continued chanting the spell… Soon the antennae on my power pack gave off a bluish glow!

T: “I hope this works… ‘I call upon thee in the land of the dead, to unleash thy fury of Thunder…!”

Sofia: “What… is this…?”

T: “Thou art at the gates to the underworld!”

Ellis: “What’s he chanting?”

Rick: “I’ve never heard such a spell!”

T: “Come forth, thunder of the gods!”

They were finally within proximity of striking me, but I belted out the final part of the spell.

Tracy: “What the hell is that??”

T: “It ends here! Let’s go! INDIGNATION!!”

As soon as I yelled out, the others, which were in close range, stopped short. That’s when the sky grew dark, with heavy clouds.

Hsien-ko: “Look at the sky!”

Tessa: “(Quietly) Oh, no, what has he done?”

A giant spell circle, outlined in purple, appeared under our feet.

“What’s happening?”

Rick: “Ya mean ya don’t know?! Didn’t you cast this spell?!”

T: “I-I know, but I only read about it…”

Small orbs of blue light rose from the ground and flew up to the sky… Then with an ominous crash, the clouds parted, sending a giant column of pure lighting down to the earth on which we stood!

Felicia: “Oh… is this gonna hurt worse than when we got zapped at the lab?”

Sakura: “Oh, I think this’ll be much worse!!”

Edge: “Ugh… ooh…”

Edge came to just in time to see the light show!

Edge: “Son of a…!! Oh, maybe that rodent was right… I never should’ve become a bad guy!”

Bison: “No… my dream… It can’t be…”

It made impact!

CRASH!

BOOM!!

BANG!!

ZAP!!

Everyone got scattered as the immense bolt struck down! And yet as I was sent flying, I thought…

T: “Damn… I think I may have actually overdone it… heh, heh…”

After the lightning subsided…

T: “Uhh… oh… wha…?”

Slowly, I woke up, my whole body shaking from fatigue. I don’t know if it was from being in Overheat Mode, but I seem to have been the only one to get up. The hit must’ve knocked me into normal form instantly. I looked around at the scorched battlefield. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was lying on the ground. I was worried that everybody’s HP hit zero.

T: “Was my attack really that powerful?”

“Hmm… it seems I have made it a little too late…”

T: “Huh?”

I turned around to see a girl. Her mystical clothing and her always-closed eyes looked very familiar.

T: “You’re… I remember you! You helped us by destroying the E. Cannon! You’re… Master, right?”

Master: “Yes…”

She spotted Edge lying on the ground.

Master: “I see he’s still trying to cause chaos again…”

T: “Uh yeah, this time he tried to…”

Master: “I’m aware of the fake invitations he made. To make light of the tournament… how very unforgivable. He should be punished…”

T: “Anything in mind?”

Master: “I leave him to you. Being beaten by you and your friends should make him never try this again. Speaking of your friends…”

T: “Are… they alive?”

Master: “Do not worry, their life force is still present, all of them. That spell you did was powerful. You’re lucky you all survived.”

T: “Thanks! I… did it to save my friends. I hoped it would snap them back to reality.”

Master: “It just might… they seem to be waking up. I must be off.”

T: “So soon?”

Master: “There are matters I must attend to. I hope to see you at the next tournament, a real one this time…”

T: “Heh… right.”

In a bright flash of light, she left.

T: “She’s so mysterious… just who is she…?”

Cotton: “(T…)”

Tessa: “There you are…”

Tessa and Cotton both limped as they walked up to me. Soon the rest of the S.P.F. Gang got up and came to me.

Ryu: “What was that you did?!”

T: “Sorry, guys… I didn’t mean for you all to get the ol’ shock treatment… again…”

Tessa: “You really did a dangerous spell back there. We should all be lucky to have survived…”

T: “Heh, so I was told…”

Tessa: “I told Cotton to guard along with me.”

Cotton: “(I’m so worn out…)”

Sakura: “What about those guys?”

T: “They’re alive. I hope my plan worked…”

Chun-Li: “Wait, so you freed me by shocking me?”

Sofia: “Uh…”

Felicia: “Oh! They’re waking up!”

As she, along with the others got up, she looked up to see a familiar face, wearing glasses.

Sofia: “Is… that you, T?”

T: “It’s me all right!”

Sofia: “I must be dreaming… my head hurts so much…”

T-na: “Must be a bug going around; I’ve such a splitting headache…”

Rick: “Hey, it’s T!”

Eiji: “Long time no see, man! What are you doing all the way out here?”

T: “It’s one hell of a long story! You’re all free! Yes! Yes! Oh!”

Tracy: “Free? Free from what? What’s he talking about, rabbit?”

Coton: “(Uh…)”

Tessa: “I believe we can explain.”

Ken: “The shock of seeing you guys again for the first time in two months has got him all goofy, so we’ll break it to ya!”

As I was jumping around like a crazed pogo stick, both teams talked to each other and introduced themselves.

T: “Oh!”

I jumped back over to them.

T: “I forgot to intro…”

T-na: “We’ve already done that. How come you didn’t tell us you started a new group to lead?”

Felicia: “The name was our idea! Besides, we wanted to help him find you all!”

Tracy: “Really? Aw, don’t tell us you were lonely at home, T!”

T: “What?! Uh… n-no way! I… uh… shut up.”

Sean: “I kinda blacked out… did we make it to the tournament?”

Ryu: “That would be a no. It went down like this…”

We explained to them in excruciating detail, what happened to us so far. We left out the part about finding their stuff. And then we got to the last part…

Eiji: “Whoa! You went through all that just to find us??”

Sofia: “That’s… so sweet of you!”

T: “And that’s not all! When we did find you, you guys were all, ‘oh, you took my memory, hey, you stole my dad, my lost time, my magic power! Waah!’ Then we had to fight ya!”

Sofia: “Wait, did I say you stole my memory?”

Ellis: “And that you took my dad?”

Sean: “And that you took my lost time?”

Rick: “And my MP?”

Hsien-ko: “Yep, and the rest of you said he did lots of other bad stuff!”

T-na: “But why?”

Felicia: “You were all captured, and forced into thinking that T was evil.”

Sofia: “But those were our personal problems that we told T about before we left!”

Sho: “Who’d be callous enough to make light of our issues like that?”

T: “Why don’t ya ask… that guy!”

I pointed to Edge who was stirring out of his unconsciousness.

T: “Yeah, when they used this Mind Manipulator machine on ya, he filled your heads with those dirty lies… Whoa…”

You could only imagine the looks on their faces right now; they looked mad enough to spit fire that could burn through steel! Now that’s mad!

T: “Ooh, I see that you’re mad.”

Ellis: “We… want you… to wake that guy up… so we can beat… the living crap out of him!!”

T: “Hooray! Revenge time!”

I strolled casually to Edge, kicked him on his rear, and said…

T: “Hey dumbass, wake up!”

Edge: “Uhh… what?! T! You dirty dog, how dare you hit me like that!?”

I just stared at him, grinning from ear to ear!

Edge: “Why are you smiling?!”

T: “Cause you’re in for the biggest beatdown of your life, and I wanted to know if you had some change for popcorn and candy bars! Can’t watch a show on an empty stomach!”

Edge: “Don’t you mock me!”

He tried to throw a punch, but Tracy stopped it and started to twist his arm!

Edge: “Ouch! Owowowowowowow…”

Eiji: “Your fight’s with us now!”

Then they started dragging him off…

Edge: “H-hey! T! Call them off, man! I promise, I’ll be good!!”

T: “Oh, if only it were that simple… I guess this is what you get for totally screwing with them. Have fun, numb-nuts!”

Edge: “Noooooo!!”

Then all that was heard was the sound of fists flying and girlish crying, coming from Edge, no doubt…

Morrigan: “So, what about him?”

We saw Bison, who was also coming to…

T: “Nothing’s stopping ya! Oh, I love a good show!”

Just as he got up, he came to see Ryu and the others ganging up on him!

T: “Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!”

After a good couple of minutes, the TSD Kids kicked Edge out of the fray. He landed right next to me.

Edge: “Call them off, man!! Now, while I still have teeth!”

T: “Fine. Bye-Bye Balloon!”

Expanding myself, I knocked Edge far into the horizon!

Edge: “I have no regrets!”

T-na: “What a loser!”

By this time, they had cooled off, and the S.P.F. Gang was done with Bison!

Tessa: “Will you do the honors, T?”

Using another Bye-Bye Balloon, I knocked him I another direction!

T: “That’s that!”

Ellis: “Now that I think about it…”

T: “Yeah?”

Ellis: “I think I remember… fighting just now…”

T: “I knew you guys couldn’t be totally controlled by those fake thoughts, Your real selves probably witnessed the whole battle!”

Kayin: “Yeah, you might be right… I definitely remember getting hit by a Bomb Uppercut!”

T: “Sorry; you were trying to hit me with ice!”

Rick: “And I also remember that giant electric attack! What was it?”

Tessa: “Indignation.”

Sho: “What’s that?”

Tessa: “The spell T performed to save you was called Indignation. It’s an extremely powerful Thunder spell that calls upon the lightning of God and drops it on the opponent. If used without the proper care…”

Sofia: “You used that on us?? How? You can’t use Thunder attacks! Only I can!”

T: “Not anymore… heh, heh, heh…”

Sofia: “How confusing…”

Sakura: “Well, there’s no use thinking about it here, let’s leave this depressing place!”

Cotton: “(That sounds like a plan!)”

We all left the swamp. In a few day’s time we made it back to Specter City, where Rick’s mother, Martha was staying for a while.

Martha: “Oh Rick! My son! I was so worried about you!”

Rick: “Mom… can’t… breathe!!”

Martha: “Oh, sorry! You’re lucky to have a friend like T, who went out of his way to save you! You all are!”

Tracy: “We know.”

Martha: “From what you all told me, you were in a real pickle, that’s for sure!”

T: “That’s an understatement! Anyway seeing as there was no tournament, we’ll head back to VG City.”

Martha: “That’s good. See you at home, dear.”

Rick: “Alright Mom.”

After resting, we continued on. Soon we made it to the spot where we all met Dan.

Dan: “Yes! My training spot!”

He jumped atop a stump.

Dan: “Well, now that we’re back here, now you get to train under me finally!”

Ryu: “Aw, man… do we have to?”

T: “Now remember guys, you did promise… and he saved your lives, so you owe him!”

Chun-Li: “Fine… I guess we’ll stay here, then.”

Ryu: “It was good traveling with you, T. Maybe I’ll get to fight you all some other time!”

T: “Cool! See ya!”

So with that, Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li stayed there as the rest of us left.

Dan: “Yahoo! Now let’s start!”

As for the rest of us, we passed all the towns we went through, so Morrigan, Hsien-ko, and Felicia said their good-byes and headed back to their everyday lives.

In due time, we reached VG City finally.

Tessa: “Well, this was a fun way to spend my vacation. I must get back and resume teaching my Magic class. I hope to see you all again.”

Sakura: “I gotta get back too! I hope they’re not mad at me for cutting school! Thanks for the trip, T!”

T: “No problem.”

As they left, we finally reached our house.

Cotton: “(Sigh) (Home sweet home…)”

We all went in and sat in the living room. Cotton and I were of course glad that we were all home, but the others seemed a little down.

T: “Hey, what’s wrong? We’re all back home.”

Eiji: “(Sigh) Too bad there was no tournament… I really wanted to put my skills to the test…”

T: “Yeah, that is a downer… Saaaay… is it just me, or are you guys missing some of your stuff?”

T-na: “There’s that too! I lost my glasses…”

Tracy: “My badge is gone too…”

T: “Hmm, I see; well, I was wondering… I picked these up while traveling, and I was thinking ‘these are so you!’ I just hope they’re to your liking…”

I opened my bag and took out all the stuff that they lost!

Sean: “Hey, that’s our stuff! You found them all!”

Kayin: “Thanks, man!”

Ellis: “I thought they were lost forever!”

T: “I knew you’d like them! Ha, ha, ha…”

Sho: “You came through for us yet again, T. Well done.”

T: “Hey, I do the best I can… oh, excuse me for a moment…”

I ran into the kitchen for a bit. After a few minutes, I emerged, arms full of food!

T: “All right! Now that we’re home, let’s party! Eh?”

All: “ZZZ…”

They had all fallen asleep!

T: “Well, well! I guess their trip did wear them out… In fact…”

I put the food back in the kitchen.

T: “I’m a little… sleepy too…”

I turned into a raccoon dog and curled up on a soft cushion, next to Cotton.

T: “I hope there are more… exciting stuff in our future… (Yawn) Zzzz…”

Well, mission accomplished! Everyone’s back, safe and sound, and the house finally feels complete again! I suppose after this nap, I can put my latest idea into action… But if you want to know, there’s always next time!
