ECC & MPB Special: The Super Squad – Chapter 1

Hey, Poptropicans!

In my last post, I introduced to you the prologue of ECC & MPB Special: The Super Squad! And now, chapter 1 is officially released! But if you haven’t read the prologue and you’re new here, I encourage you to go ahead and get caught up. You’ll probably get confused otherwise.

Also, before continuing, I’d like to state that Fearless Hero’s Spy Agency is now cancelled, and instead of posting that series, this will be posted. It’s a substitute, basically.

And now, onto chapter 1 of…

Thanks for the logo, UiPE!

Chapter 1

Tall Cactus: I’m bored…

Mighty Gamer: Uh, you’re always saying that, you know.

Tall Cactus: Yeah, I know.

The blimp was now looming above Bay City. 24 Carrot would be coming up soon.

Mighty Gamer, looking at map: We should be there any minute now!

Mighty Gamer, in this case, was correct. They fortunately landed before Tall Cactus fell asleep from boredom again.

But the island itself was nothing like they expected. It was in ruins. Citizens were crying, looking for jobs, hope, anything. They needed help.

All of a sudden, the mayor came rushing to them. It was Mayor Henderson! Apparently, he was mayor for 24 Carrot Island, too.

Mayor Henderson: Tall Cactus, Mighty Gamer! Please help us! Our town is in ruins!

Mighty Gamer: I don’t understand. How did this happen?

Mayor Henderson: It’s that Dr. Hare! He’s at it again!

Mighty Gamer: Dr. Hare?

Mayor Henderson: YES, DR. HARE! THAT EVIL BUNNY GUY! HE STOLE ALL OUR CARROTS!

Mighty Gamer: But, that can’t be right…

But the mayor wasn’t listening anymore. He was going crazy, running in circles, and screaming at the top of his lungs.

Mayor Henderson: HE ALSO KIDNAPPED THE CHILDREN! THE CHILDREN OF ALL THE INNOCENT CITIZENS!

Tall Cactus: Just calm down. We’ll figure something out. Well, at least I’m not so bored anymore.

Mighty Gamer: Yeah. This is certainly troublesome, to say the least.

As the twins walked away, Mighty Gamer spoke up.

Mighty Gamer: You know, that name… Dr. Hare?

Tall Cactus: What about it?

Mighty Gamer: You didn’t notice? Hare is our last name! And the only other person to have that name is…

Tall Cactus: But it can’t possibly be him, our uncle, can it?

Mighty Gamer: It sounds crazy, but is has to be-

Tall Cactus: Hold on, I’m kinda busy checking my phone right now. Shoot, there’s no connection!

Mighty Gamer: That doesn’t matter right now! What I’m trying to say is-

Tall Cactus: Our uncle is evil? I got that.

Mighty Gamer: Yeah. But perhaps we can change that.

Tall Cactus: LET’S GO DEFEAT HIM! MUAHAHAHAHAH-

Mighty Gamer: That’s not what I had in mind, but-

Mighty Gamer: We do need to save those children.

Tall Cactus: THEN LET’S GO!

Mighty Gamer: Okay, first of all, calm down.

Tall Cactus: FINE!

Mighty Gamer: Let’s go…

They headed over to the abandoned carrot cake factory. To get inside, they tried to get in one of the pipes outside. It wouldn’t open.

Mighty Gamer: What do we do now!?

Tall Cactus pulled out a wrench. From Monkey Wrench Island.

Mighty Gamer: How did you get that!?

Tall Cactus: I can fly. Remember?

Mighty Gamer: Oh, right…

The twins then entered the vent system of the factory, and landed in one of the rooms. There were huge containers of what appeared to be… carrot juice. But the main room, where Dr. Hare was, was protected by a security system.

Tall Cactus: Maybe I can break it by throwing the wrench! That’s what the Red Baroness did, and it made us crash!

Mighty Gamer: Go for it.

Tall Cactus then threw the wrench as hard as she could, and just then, some guy walked through the door. He was typing something on his tablet, not even paying attention. If Tall Cactus hadn’t thrown the wrench, he probably would of stayed oblivious to his surroundings.

Guy: Ouch!

In shock, he dropped his tablet, which caused its screen to crack.

Guy: No, my beautiful tablet! The one Master Hare gave me, what have you done? He’s going to be so mad!

Mighty Gamer: That was Tall Cactus.

Tall Cactus: Hey!

Guy: new people who dis

Mighty Gamer: What? I don’t understand.

Guy: rmgifwvih ivw zovig ivw zovig gsrh rh mlg z wiroo ivw zovig

Tall Cactus: Now he’s talking gibberish!

Guy: It’s Abtash. Abtash is not gibberish. Now to take you to Dr. Hare, intruders…

Tall Cactus: Nerd.

Guy: Nerd? You call me a nerd?

Tall Cactus: Sorry. Please, don’t get us in trouble!

Mighty Gamer: We are Dr. Hare’s nieces, you know.

Guy: Y-You can’t be. Seriously?

Mighty Gamer: Indeed.

Guy: I am Master- I mean, Dr. Hare’s most loyal minion, Infinity App Nerd. But you can call me I.A.N., for short.

Tall Cactus: So, we aren’t in trouble anymore?

Infinity App Nerd: You won’t be in trouble. If you leave now.

Mighty Gamer: We can’t do that.

Infinity App Nerd: And why is that?

Mighty Gamer: We need to stop his evil plans!

Infinity App Nerd: Are you serious? I thought you were his nieces.

Mighty Gamer: We are, it’s just-

Infinity App Nerd: You’ve been here too long! I will stalk you for the rest of your lives, and you broke my tablet! That’s where all my camera apps are! YOU-

The security system responded due to I.A.N.’s loud scream, and the floor beneath them disappeared before their very eyes. Before they noticed what was going on, they found themselves trapped in a freezer room.

Mighty Gamer: Oh, this is just great! Now what do we do?

Infinity App Nerd: Thanks, intruders. You just ruined everything.

Tall Cactus: I’m bored.

Mighty Gamer: This isn’t really a good time for that.

Tall Cactus: Sorry.

Infinity App Nerd: Master Hare will fire me for sure if he finds out about this! Oh man, gsrh rh gsv lmob oruv R’ev vevi pmldm- ls, dsb zn R hfxs z mviw!?

Mighty Gamer: Not this again…

Infinity App Nerd: Wait, I know a way to disable the security system! But wait, the app for it was on tablet… WHY!?

Tall Cactus then flew to the top of the freezer, where she found some wires.

Tall Cactus: Guys! I think I found a way out!

Infinity App Nerd: The wires to the security system! Perfect.

Tall Cactus took out her wrench once again, and cut the wires.

Tall Cactus: That should do it.

Tall Cactus: Now let’s get out of here!

The three of them quickly left out of the freezer and found themselves back in the vents.

While in the vents, Mighty Gamer found 2 Drone Ears, those of which the children slaves wore. They could sneak in his lab without getting in too much trouble now.

They eventually found their way back to the room they were in, this time with the security system off. The three of them entered the door, where Dr. Hare was, wearing the Drone Ears.

They were relived to see that they weren’t dropped anywhere unknown, like the last time.

When they entered the room, they saw Dr. Hare.

He noticed them right away, and came up to them.

Dr. Hare: What are you doing in the lab!? You’re supposed to be guarding the other rooms! And I.A.N., get back to work!

Infinity App Nerd: Yes, Master Hare.

I.A.N. then left the room, leaving the sisters alone with Dr. Hare.

Mighty Gamer: I-Is there anything we can help you with?

Dr. Hare: Actually, yes. Go over to that computer and launch my Rabbot. The password is Fuzzybunny.

Tall Cactus: Wait, what!?

Dr. Hare: Now!

Mighty Gamer climbed up to the computer as fast as she could. When Dr. Hare saw her proceed, he climbed in his Rabbot. There’s a long pause of silence, and Dr. Hare looses his cool.

Dr. Hare: What’s taking so long!? I don’t have all day!!

Mighty Gamer listened to Dr. Hare, and types in the computer’s password. And then the launch code, hesitantly.

She can now see the monitor is of the Rabbot now that it’s launched. And she can control it.

Dr. Hare: Now avoid the asteroids, and I can take over Poptropica! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Mighty Gamer looked back at Tall Cactus in worry. Even though she wasn’t saying anything, and couldn’t, Mighty Gamer understood. She knew what she had to do.

She took the handle, and purposely crashed into the first asteroid.

Dr. Hare: NOOOOOOO!! DON’T DO THAT!

And then a second time.

Dr. Hare: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BELOVED RABBOT!?

And then when the Rabbot crashed into the third asteroid, Dr. Hare was defeated. He and his machine came crashing down.

Dr. Hare: NOOOOOOO!

Dr. Hare: You are going to be in so much trouble when I get my hands on you!!

Tall Cactus: H-Huh? Let’s get out of here!

And then I.A.N. came rushing into the room.

Infinity App Nerd: I heard Dr. Hare yelling! What happened?

Mighty Gamer: He and his Rabbot were… defeated.

Infinity App Nerd: What!? What do I do now!? I need the money!

Infinity App Nerd: And… MY TABLET!!

Mighty Gamer: We could replace your tablet, if…

Infinity App Nerd: If what?

Mighty Gamer: If you join our team.

Infinity App Nerd: Fine. I have nothing better to do, anyway.

And so they freed all the children slaves, left the carrot cake factory, and searched for Mayor Henderson.

Mayor Henderson: So did you complete your task? Please tell me you did!

Mighty Gamer: Yes. And we found the carrots! There in that old abandoned carrot cake factory, in crates.

Mayor Henderson: YAY! Here, in reward, you can take this medallion!

The mayor handed them a shiny gold medallion, with “24 Carrot” imprinted on it. It also has a gold carrot on it. Their first medallion…

Mighty Gamer: What now?

Tall Cactus: Well, maybe one more quest. I kinda like this…

Mighty Gamer: But what about our parents?

Tall Cactus: We don’t know where they are, right?

Tall Cactus: We’ll figure it out as we go along. But for now, we don’t have anywhere to go to.

Mighty Gamer: Yeah. We’ll figure something out…

Meanwhile in Monkey Wrench Island…

Crusoe: And then I went to get a glass of water, then I took another nap, and then I breathed, and then I breathed again, and then…

Crusoe: Did I mention I breathed again?

Mrs. Hare: YES!! YES YOU DID!! 345 TIMES TO BE EXACT!! CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO GET HOME, NOW!?

Crusoe: Wait, I have another story!

Mr. Hare: PLEASE NO!!

Crusoe: Many years ago, I had the craziest day of my life! It all started when I woke up and breathed exactly 24,056 times, and then I went back to bed. Crazy story, right?

Crusoe: In fact, I am going to take a nap right now.

Mrs. Hare: YESSSSSSS! WE ARE FREE FOR A FEW HOURS!

Mr. Hare: FREEDOM!

Meanwhile somewhere else…

Cloaked Figure: I can’t believe they actually pulled that off…

He was looking at a monitor in which Tall Cactus, Mighty Gamer, and Infinity App Nerd were.

Cloaked Figure: How will I get that medallion now!?

Cloaked Figure: And now… that nerd is with them. It’ll be easier to get medallions.

Cloaked Figure: Perhaps…

Cloaked Figure: I could wait until they have all of the medallions, and then steal it…

Cloaked Figure: Perhaps.

And where Tall Cactus, Mighty Gamer, and Infinity App Nerd are…

They were now on the blimp again, looking for another island to beat. They took a look at their map.

Tall Cactus: Let’s go to…

Tall Cactus: Steamworks Island!

Mighty Gamer: Okay, let’s go…

Infinity App Nerd: When will I be getting my new tablet!?

Mighty Gamer: We’ll buy it on Steamworks Island…

Infinity App Nerd: But I need my tablet now!

Mighty Gamer: Well, you have to wait!

Infinity App Nerd: But–
