Another epic pop culture story!

[Striker81]

"What was that for?" MEW asked.
"What do you think?" Ron asked in return. "No doubt you were sent by your queen to kill us and take all our hard work for yourself."
"That's not it at all," MEW said. Ron just looked at him confusingly. "Just take me to your friends, and quickly."
"What's this all about?" Ron asked.
"Queen Samantha has learned about what this desert holds. She wanted me to find out how to get in here so she could send her troops in."
"I knew it," Ron stated.
"But that's not why I'm here," MEW said. "In fact, now that you know what's going on, you need to find your friends and tell them, so that you may make haste in finding what's in here.
"If I'm gone too long, the queen will get suspicious. So, for now, I'll leave and come up with some elaborate, yet pointless, ritual to help her henchmen 'access' this world. I figure you'll have about 12 hours, at the most."
And with that, MEW disappeared, back to the outside world. Ron just stood there, wondering if he could trust what he had said. He just shook his head and went back to Harry. He would know what to do.

The queen's servant,a lonely psychic boy who wanted friends,then raised his head up in tears and began to follow Eva.
As she jogged on the sidewalks of Central Park,she looked at the statues and thought to herself, Man,it's gonna be 2 years since I actually went to New York before this adventure(This is actually true since I went to New York in the spring of 2008,making it my first time out of the West Coast),but going back--Sheesh,that's strange.
Soon,she then spotted the queen's servant and jumped high into a tree,but the servant then noticed her and said to her, "It's okay,I won't hurt you."
"What makes you say that since you were trying to attack Griff?" she then asked with suspicion,but he then replied, "I was under a spell from the queen,
I would never do anything like this." "Fine," she groaned as she climbed out of the tree, "I'm Eva.What's your name,kid?"
"It's Caesar," he replied,for she then said to him as they ran to find Tex and Griff, "Okay,Caesar.We'll find my friends and then we'll go find the Relic.Once we catch up with the others,then we'll be okay."
However,she then halted them as she saw a stitchpunk who was running for his life.It was 6. "Hide me!" he cried as he jumped inside Eva's hoodie and down her pants (he slipped),for a female figure was slowly catching up.

[monkey4057]

It was Emily. She stopped dead (no pun intended) in her tracks.

"Darling," she asked, "Who's this?"

"Who are YOU?" asked Eva.

"I'm his wife," Emily responded, showing the ring 6 had placed.

"No!" 6 said, popping out, "Em-Em-this is not what it looks like!"

His attempt to mend the situation failed. A look of fury on her face, Emily grimly muttered, "Hopscotch," sending her and 6 back to the Land of the Dead. They were in a room where the metal hand and an elderly skeleton known as Elder Gutknecht were waiting.

"You lied to me!" Emily said in anger, "Just to get back to that other woman!"

"No! No!" said 6, "You must understand. I-I have no plans to get wed so soon."

Emily sniffed back a tear and said, "You should've thought of that before you asked me to marry you."

6, getting somewhat frustrated, said, "You don't get it. It was a mistake. I would never marry you."

Emily gasped. The metal hand made a motion akin to a person placing their hand over their eyes and shaking their head. Brokenhearted, the corpse bride descended down the stairs to the base of Gutknecht's tower.

6 just looked up at the Elder and said, "I-I should have put that differently, shouldn't I?"

Once again, might as well...

Meanwhile, the Simpsons family had been searching in Jamaica. However, they got so distracted by the sights and sounds that they forgot all about their mission. A few nights after booking a hotel room, they noticed some commotion on the beach. Heading down, they noticed an unbelievably large and ancient tortoise tipped onto its back.

"Alright!" said Bart, "Turtle steak!"

"That poor tortoise!" Lisa said, appalled, "Dad, do something!"

Homer, however, called, "Dibs on the liver!"

At that moment, a young boy (not the same one who found the stone) appeared on the beach shouting, "NOOOO! No no no no no!"

He ran to the turtle, his parents in hot pursuit, and embraced it around the neck. To the surprise of everyone around, it did not attack. This was astounding due to the fact it had snapped at a plank as if it were merely cheese earlier.

"You're all cruel!" the boy shouted at the spectators, "You're all horrible and cruel!"

"Is there a problem here?" asked the manager, who had come down to the shore to see what had happened.
--------------------------------------------
Back in the dungeon, 9, 2, 5, Wallace, and Helmet were discussing their purpose in life.

"Well, 5, 2, and I know why we were made," said 9, "Y'know, to protect the future and all that."

"More like you know that," said 5, "Only you got to see the Scientist's message."

2, to avoid pointless conversation, asked, "What about you, Helmet? What do you think your purpose is?"

"I really don't know," said Helmet, "I used to think it was to save Planet Spaceball, but now I'm not so sure."
-------------------------------------------
Back in Rapture...

[Striker81]

a tumbleweed shifted across an empty room. Pretty impressive, considering they were underwater. A random splicer walked around, muttering to himself.
"There were a couple guys around here just causing trouble. Where did they go?"

Meanwhile, Striker, B and Zoboo hovered around DHI, who was frantically working on his laptop. Fudd had been tied up and sat off to the side. He desperately tried to reach for a Cinnabon roll on a nearby table using only his mouth, but to no avail. He instead just banged his head on the table and went back to sleep.
"How's it going, DHI?" B asked.
"Not good," he said. "I can't seem to find any trace of the Hogwarts trio, and that's even using every bit of power this computer has."
"Did you try Wikipedia?" Zoboo asked. His companions just shot him a glance that seemed to suggest "Are you serious?"
"What?" he simply responded, sipping from his Orange Julius.
Then, Striker heard a voice in his head, softly but sternly calling him. ESP? He didn't think it was possible, but here he was, carrying on a conversation.
"MEW?" he asked.
"No time for small talk," the queen's "partner" answered. "You have to reach your friends, and now."
"How do I do that?"
"They are in a place called Jacob's Desert. You won't find it on any map, it is unseen. Your speeder can't get you there either, but there is another pair of wings you have that can."
"What?"
"I leave you with that. I must leave before Queen Samantha picks up on our conversation. Good luck."
And with that, the voice left Striker. What was that about?

Meanwhile..........................

[Disneyland_DHI]

Spongebob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs had left the detention center, though the Lego figures had returned to their respective lands.

Once in his land, the Pirate, known as Captain Will had left towards his secret base, and established contact on his laptop built at the Imagination Center area.

"Where are they now?" A voice asked over all the fuzz from a bad connection.
"We escaped the detention center, and they are on their own," Will said.
The voice was angry. "WHHHHHAAAAT?!?!?!? First you fail retrieving the stupid, insignificant stone for me, and now you let that stupid sponge and his friends, as well as the other stupid Legos GO!?!??!"
"It's all part of the plan I have."
"WELL, IT'S NOT A PART OF MY PLAN, SO YOU BETTER FIX IT!"
"Don't worry, Samantha, I will."

[monkey4057]

("Epic" Yes! Great to be going again!)
Striker was confused. Another pair of wings? What was that supposed to mean? Then he got an idea.

"DHI, do you have any Red Bull?" he asked.

DHI said, "Let me check," and he poked around in his backpack. He then pulled out a can of Red Bull.

"Here it is!" he said.

"Excellent!" said Striker, "Now can I-?"

"Thanks!" DHI said, opening the can, "You have no idea how thirsty I am!"

DHI then proceeded to drink the entire can. A few seconds later, a pair of wings sprouted from his head. Amazed, he flew around for a short bit as music from Super Mario 64 played only to fly right into a wall.

Striker shook his head.
-------------------------------------
Back in Kong's shrine...

[Striker81]

The game of Rock Band continued, everyone having too much fun to care why any of them were there, and why some of them were tied up.
After playing Kiss' "Detroit Rock City," Indy finally asked, "So what's going on in here?"

Meanwhile, back at the mall, Striker helped DHI up after he crashed into the wall. The wings that had sprouted from his head disappeared.
"Appreciate the enthusiasm," Striker said, "but I don't think that's going to get us to where Harry, Ron and Hermione are."
"It was worth a shot," DHI said.
"No big deal," Zoboo said. "Let's just get in the speeder and find them that way."
"That won't work either," Striker said.
"Why not?" DHI asked. Striker then proceeded to tell them about his conversation with MEW.
"Think you can trust him?" Zoboo asked.
"I do," Striker said. "He seemed to be acting independently of his queen. And as I talked with him, I sensed no deceit or ill will from him."
"If you say so," DHI said. "But what's this 'other pair of wings' business mean?"
"I think," B began, causing everyone to look her way, "if we wish to find the desert and the others, then we can make it."
"How can you be so sure?" Zoboo asked.
"Something I've heard," B said. "Something about wishes giving your heart wings."
"Isn't that, 'Wishes are visions of the heart?'" Striker asked.
"No, that's dreams," B simply stated. Striker seemed more confused. "Anyway, that could be the wings MEW was referring to. If we deeply, truly wish to find Harry, Ron and Hermione, and this desert they are in, then we'll be taken there."
Striker, DHI and Zoboo looked at each other, digesting what B had told them.
"Okay," Striker said, looking back at B. "I suppose we could give it a try."

Meanwhile........................

[evawms123]

"Okay....that was wierd..." Eva said as she looked in confusion. Was that 6?
Or am I being crazy? she then thought as a rush from her pants.That was when the REAL 6 came out and said to her, "Sorry,duty called for a panic attack." "Wha--?!Wait a minute!You actually created a clone of yourself to actually get the corpse of your back?!" Eva shouted in anger,fire burning in her eyes,for Caesar then said to 6,picking him up, "I know her,she was murdered by her groom,only to have her family jewels." "You know Emily?" 6 asked,sitting in his cupped hands,for Caesar then responded, "Yep.I was her first suitor until the same guy took her away on the night before our marriage."
"Such a jerk," Eva then objected as she crossed her arms in unimpression,but Caesar then added, "That's why I was under the Queen's spell.She forced me to try and stop you guys in order to get Emmy back." "Now we have our info,"
Eva then stated,getting her backpack out, "I'll contact the others quickly." She then grabbed her touch-screen cell phone and contacted Striker.
Meanwhile,back with "Team Striker",while they were looking up info on Wikipedia,Striker's cell phone rang to the theme to Final Fantasy.A voice mail then came up, "Striker,come in!This is Team Griff,we got some info!"
"Who's this?" Striker picked the cell phone,for Eva then said who she was and she explained everything. "Right,I'll tell the others.We'll meet up with you later." "Hurry!" she shouted as he hung up,saying to the others....

[monkey4057]

"DHI and B: I need you two to go somewhere. Zoboo: you're coming with me."

"What's going on?" asked B.

"An old acquaintance of mine needs some assistance," explained Striker. He took out a notecard and wrote something on it. "Here's where she is."

DHI raised his eyebrows.

"She?"

"I said 'acquaintance'," Striker grunted.

As DHI and B left the scene, Zoboo turned to Striker and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"I've heard you like garbanzo beans," said Striker, "Is that true?"

Zoboo nodded.

"Are you in the mood for some?" Striker inquired, a slight grin appearing on his face.

Zoboo responded, "Oh yeah! In fact, I'd really, really like some garbanzo beans! You have no idea how much!"

With that, the mall disappeared. Instead, Striker and Zoboo found themselves in a desert. Striker did a hand motion that signified victory.
--------------------------------------
Back in the Land of the Dead, 6 (not the clone 6, who was actually who Eva had just seen) was sitting alone inside the Ball and Socket Pub. The metal hand was trying to entertain him by playing a song on the piano, but to no avail. Suddenly, 6 heard the door swing open. A young man, well and alive unlike the other inhabitants, entered and sat down with the stitchpunk.

"Are you 6?" he asked.

6 nodded and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man responded, "My name is Victor. And I think I may be able to help you get back upstairs."

"How?" asked 6.

[Disneyland_DHI]

While at Legoland, Spongebob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs walked around, seeing no guests, no employees, and no activity whatsoever. The air was deathly still. A Lego tumbleweed flew by.

"Spongebob..." Patrick said, worrying.

The air was growing to become more silent until the ground started shaking.

"EARTHQUAAAAAAKE!!!!!" The underwater trio yelled into the cloudy Carlsbad sky.

As they looked towards Knight Kingdom, the ground no longer shook and the castle was no more. In its place lay a large pile of rubble, stone, and various pieces of ash and Lego bricks of all colors.

In the sky was a Lego dragon, and with a touch of magic, Captain Will flew onto the Dragon's back. Lego skeletal Pirates and brainwashed test dummies all stalked towards Spongebob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs. The astronaut, the average person, the red knight, and the adventurer, as well as their allies came out and fought for Legoland.

"GO BEFORE THE DRAGON EATS YOU!!! WILL PLANNED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!! THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING IN THE DETENTION CENTER!!!" yelled Santis, the red knight.

Spongebob was looking at him and yelled, "WHAT??!?! YOU GUYS WERE EATING ATTENTION!?!?"

A blue knight, named Jayko, who was apparently crowned king four years ago, announced, "CAPTAIN WILL WAS TRYING TO KILL YOU GUYS AND SELL YOU TO A QUEEN!!!!!!!!!"

Mr. Krabs understood. He realized that this was the killing sequence.

"ACTUALLY, WE WERE ALL PART OF THE PLAN!!! HE WORKS CLOSELY WITH VLADEK, WHO WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE QUEEN!!! WE WERE SEIZED BY CAPTAIN WILL! IT WAS VLADEK'S REVENGE!!!!" yelled Danju, a green knight, slashing away the remains of a Shadow Knight.

The dragon, which was being controlled by a sorcerer on the dragon's back with Will, who was slowly transforming into Vladek, took a dip for our Undersea heroes, when in unison, they yelled, "I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!" And disappeared just as the plastic dragon mouth covered them.

"HOORAH! THE YELLOW SPONGE, PINK STARFISH, AND THE CRAB ARE GONE!" Dr. Inferno, apparently an opposing agent announced victoriously.

[monkey4057]

The three sea creatures found themselves in a large enclosed pit made entirely of Lego bricks.

Patrick looked around and yelled to the dragon exterior, "Nice place you got here!"
--------------------------------------------
Seymour and Gil, in the meantime, had finally stopped running. They found themselves outside an Italian restaurant in Southern California. After sitting down, they took a look at the place.

"I don't like it," Gil said almost immediately.

"C'mon," Seymour said, "You shouldn't be judging this place already! At least have some of the food first."

After eating his meal, Seymour felt the same way as Gil. As he paid the bill, he asked, "I don't mean any offense, but how have you been around for so long without any appeal here?"

The waitress responded, "Actually, we've only been here for less than a couple years. We replaced this not-so-great pizza place that replaced a really great pizza place."

"Is this really great place out of business?" Gil inquired.

"No," the waitress said, "I think there's still one in Chicago."

"TO CHICAGO!" Gil called.

With that, he rushed out the door, taking Seymour with him.

[Striker81]

Meanwhile, Striker and Zoboo took in their surroundings. One minute, they were in a mall. Now, they stood in a vast desert.
"What is this place?" Zoboo asked.
"Jacob's Desert," Striker replied. "At least, I hope it is. This is where MEW told us to find Harry, Ron and Hermione."
"That's all well and good," Zoboo said, "but where will we find them?"
"Striker, Zoboo?" the two heard a voice from behind. "Is that you?"
The two turned around to find Harry, wearing a look of surprise on his face.
"Well that didn't take long," Striker said.
"What are you two doing here?" Harry asked.
"It's a bit of a long story," Striker said. "Giving you the Cliffs Notes version, MEW told us you were here and here we are."
"Yes," Harry replied, "he was here as well. He told us we had to work fast, since Queen Samantha's forces were on their way. Now that you're here, I guess he was telling the truth."
"Then there's no time to waste," Striker said. "Where are the others?"
"Not far from here," Harry said. "I'll lead you to them."
Striker and Zoboo then followed Harry. It was only a few minutes when they found the rest of Harry's party. He called out to them to let them know they had found friends.
Malfoy turned around, recoiling in anger when he saw Striker. "You!"
Striker, not looking to defuse the situation at all, simply said, "I'm sorry. Who are you?"

[evawms123]

Back with "Team Griff" in Central Park,Griff,Tex,Eva,the 6 clone,and Caesar waited for backup to come along as they discussed review while sitting on the edges of a currently-drained fountain. "So,review time," Griff (who elected himself as team leader hence the last part of the team name) stated as the others listened, "We got three new members who proved to be trusting and loyal." "Lord Barkis is working for the queen to make sure that the queen herself gets enough fortune to create a monster," Caesar added as Eva continued, "The real 6 is still alive and Emily needs to be free from her cursed condition." "And I can sing," Tex added happily,but Eva then smacked him upside the head as the 6 clone finished, "The queen needs Griff's mysterious abilities to find the Relic."
Soon,they saw DHI and B running to them as their heads turned and saw them in suprise. "We...were...late," DHI panted in exhaustion as B added, "What did we miss?" "Not much," Eva responded as B saw her hammer and shouted, "ATTACK!!" This left the others in shock and confused about this action as B charged at Eva faster than before.

[monkey4057]

Back at the Beaver Museum, Harold was wandering through the various exhibits to pass the time between now and when he was going to fight the four Searchers in the building. This was because when the Abdominal Snowman arrived, all except Harold had decided to eat some pizza before the battle. Harold had declined.

As he was exiting a 3-D film about a beaver's teeth, Harold suddenly found himself attacked, felt something shoved into his mouth, and fell to the ground unconscious. Timmy and Carl came into the room and saw Sheen standing next to the defeated yeti, a piece of pizza sticking out of his mouth.

"Sheen, what's happened?!," Carl asked.

"I'm glad you asked," Sheen said.

He proceeded to go into a lengthy explanation of why he had left the others while they were eating. Whilst trying to eat some cheese that was coming off his slice, he had remembered that Harold, whom he had recognized from various online videos, was Robo-Fiend's third cousin, twice-removed. Since Robo-Fiend was lactose intolerant, Harold may be also. He left with a slice of pizza, found Harold, and shoved the pizza into his mouth, knocking him out.

After paramedics were called to treat the yeti, Jimmy, Timmy, Carl, and Sheen gave their goodbyes to Wonka, the PI, and Samuel and left to continue their search.
-----------------------------------------------
Back in Jamaica, the boy's parents had managed to convince the hotel manager to set the tortoise back into the sea, provided with pay for all the hard work to surface it. The next day, however, the boy disappeared. After a while, Willy, the fisherman who had caught the tortoise, confirmed that the boy was out in the seas with it. A search party was started. The Simpsons also joined in, buying a boat to sail out on the waters looking for the boy and tortoise as well as the Relic.
