The Superman At The End of This Story

[Big Daddy]

Chapter Fourteen

Back on regular Earth, the VILE agents (which were fabrications built from the same technology Scrappy used to develop his Carmen robot) stood exactly where they were; they did not seem to realize or care about what happened to Scrappy, the Sleazes, and the Mystery Inc. gang. Frankie, Mac, Big Bird, Bugs, and Daffy wondered if the agents were even ?alive? that moment, and they tested to see if they were by slowly moving away from the agents that were guarding them and heading towards the exit. But that?s when one VILE agent moved faster than the blink of an eye, blocking their path.

?You?ve got to be kidding me!!? Frankie exclaimed. ?What?re you guys made out of??

Just after Frankie asked that question was when something bizarre happened to all of the VILE agents. They suddenly began to shake slightly at the first moment, but then violently in the next. The nuts, bolts, and every other mechanical part that was keeping them together began to rip from their bodies, falling through the sleeves of their coats and pants. Mac, Frankie, Bugs, Daffy, and Big Bird watched in utter disbelief, as the bodies of all the VILE agents inside the Fortress of Solitude suddenly collapsed, leaving nothing but pieces of their robotic bodies lying over piles of the clothing they wore.

?O?kay.? Mac uttered, as she shared bewildered looks with his friends. ?What the heck just happened?? At that moment, Madame Foster appeared in the entranceway of the Fortress, along with Wilt, Coco, Bloo, Eduardo, and Super Grover, who were all wearing warm clothing. ?Madame Foster?!?

?Grandma?!?!? Frankie exclaimed. ?H-H-How did you guys find us here?!?

?Did I ever tell you the time I joined a good friend of mine in an Arctic expedition?? Madame Foster asked. ?I can?t believe how stunned and embarrassed I was to discover this place. Ho, ho! You have to give it up for the Man of Steel to own such a marvelous place like this.?

?Wait a minute! Wait a minute!? Daffy yelled. ?How could she know about this place and we don?t?!?!?

?It?s called karma, Daffy.? Bugs said. ?You?re practically best buds with it.? As Daffy gave Bugs a dirty look, Big Bird was inspected the remains of the VILE agents that were lying all over the Fortress.

?So?was it you guys that stopped the robots?? He asked.

?Actually, it was Super Grover that stopped them.? Wilt indicated.

?He saved us all!? Eduardo exclaimed, and Grover truly felt honored, at the same time he felt very cocky.

?Yes! By unleashing a low shriek from my cute little voice that is dangerous enough to put any machine out of commission, it was I, Sup?per Grover, that saved you all from the dreaded forces of the one dreadful thief known as Carmen Sandiego!? Grover said, while Bloo looked around, intrigued by the sight but confused over where Carmen was.

?Speaking of the lady in red, where is she anyway?? Bloo asked.

?We just found out that there is no Carmen Sandiego, just as there is no organization known as VILE.? Mac said. ?It was a ruse to achieve a diabolical scheme set up by the former member of Mystery Inc., Scrappy-Doo!? Bloo just stared at Mac for a long time, before he suddenly busted out with laughter.

?Yeah, right, bud.? Bloo uttered. ?Seriously, where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?? Bloo just cracked himself up even more after asking that question.

?We?re serious, Bloo.? Frankie said, as she walked over to the crystal bank. ?Scrappy-Doo, while disguised in a robotic body, used three Kryptonian crystals to take them away to the new planet, in an attempt to conquer it all.?

?And Mystery Inc. and the Sleazes went with her?I mean, him.? Mac added, and Bloo, Wilt, Coco, Eduardo, Grover, and Madame Foster were all shocked by that news.

?Wow. That sounds more crazy than what?s going on back in Metropolis.? Bloo said.

?What?s going on back in Metropolis?? Mac asked.

?There?ve been these strange earthquakes, and Metropolis doesn?t often get those.? Wilt informed. ?If Superman weren?t there to prevent so many accidents, there wouldn?t be much of the city left.? At that moment, a muffled beeping sound was heard from the group, and it seemed to have been coming from Bugs. He pulled out a handheld device that had a small screen built into it, and once he activated it, the face of Lola Bunny appeared on the small screen.

?What?s up, Lola?? Bugs asked.

?There?s been a lot of strange activity outside the North American continent, Bugs.? Lola said, just before a map of the eastern side of the U.S. appeared on the small screen, along with an image of a green-glowing island that was miles away and growing slowly. ?There?s some island outside us that?s never been there before?that is, until now. According to our computers, it?s entirely made out of kryptonite.?

?How much you wanna bet Lex Luthor?s behind it all?? Bugs asked.

?And how much you wanna bet Superman gonna be there to try and stop him, even though he has no idea the island could kill him with all of the bedrock covering the greenness?? Daffy added.

?I?d like to bet that island of kryptonite might be the only thing that could destroy the ?Phantom Planet?.? Mac stated.

?And I?d like to bet that our friends up there on that planet might be destroyed along with it, if we don?t find a way to bring them back.? Frankie said, and she started playing around with the crystals in the crystal bank, attempting to bring Scrappy, the Sleazes, and Mystery Inc. back to Earth.

?Lola, keep us updated on the Man of Steel?s status on that island.? Bugs ordered. ?He might just live up to his dad?s expectations, if he survives.?

?What do you mean, Bugs?? Lola asked.

?Nothin?. Just keep your attention on the activity that?s happenin? on that island.? Bugs said, just before he shut the device off and joined Mac, Frankie, and the others as they continued playing around with the crystal bank.
