The Great Toon War: Remastered Chapter 17

The Toons looked at Enrique, and instead of crying over his robot army being defeated, he was actually laughing about his robots being destroyed.

“Is something right with that guy?” Asked Grim.

“Fools!” Enrique shouted. “You think I’m dumb enough to not come with a Plan B? Think again!” He pulled out a remote from his pocket, pressed a button, and the bodyguard bot opened up to reveal a USB drive that sent out a tapeworm as big as a reticulated python. “This tapeworm will eat its way to Neptoon’s core and cause your planet to blow up. It won’t have a hard time since your Elsa knockoff already dug a way down.”

“But you’ll die in the explosion!” Said Pearl.

“That’s wy I’m stealing Uncle Doofus’s RV so I can get back to my own universe!” Enrique replied. He got into the RV and took off with it.

“You should’ve locked the RV, Uncle Grandpa.” Said Mr. Gus.

“This will be a piece of cake!” Said Ben, as he turned into Diamondhead and tried slicing the worm, but nothing happened.

“Maybe lasers will kill it!” Said Red Action as she turned her arms into cannons and shot the worm with plasma, but once again, nothing happened.

“Maybe Upgrade will be useful in this situation.” Said Ben.

“Not a good idea.” Said Bobert as the tapeworm dug into the ground. “I scanned the annelid during Enrique Chavez’s monologue, and it is copy-protected. That means it can’t be hacked into. However, it can’t stand temperatures up to 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so heat-based attacks are the best option.”

“Let’s use our heat-vision, girls!” Said Blossom, and she, Bubbles, and Buttercup used their heat vision to attack the tapeworm. This caused it to pull its head out of the ground and shriek in pain. The worm soon shrugged it off and continued digging.

“I have an idea.” Said Rad. “How about I use my freeze finger to throw that worm into the sun?”

“It won’t work, you doofus.” Said Enid. “You know you’re not that strong. But maybe someone else could lift you to throw you high enough to reach the sun?”

“I could!” Said Ben, turning into Humungousaur. “But first, we need to get this worm out of the ground.” He yanked the tapeworm out of the ground like a carrot with one arm and grabbed Rad with the other. “You think it will work?”

“I sure as cuss hope so.” Said Rad. Humungousaur gave the tapeworm to Rad, to which he used zero-point energy from his finger to freeze the tapeworm. “Ready!”

“You have one shot, Rad.” Shouted Enid. “Make it a good one!” Humungousaur swung Rad around thrice and threw him into the air. Once Rad was 600 feet into the air, he used all his strength to throw the tapeworm right into the vacuum of space!

—-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in outer space, the sun noticed something very small floating towards him.

“What in the universe could that be?” He said to himself. “Maybe I should take a closer look.” He used one of his rays to grab the tapeworm, but it disintegrated upon contact.

“Darn it.” He said. “It happened again.”

—------------------------------------

“With all that taken care of,” Said Madame Foster. “I now declare this war over!” Everyone cheered upon hearing that, and Steven decided to give Grim back his scythe.

"Oh, Scythy!" Said Grim. "I missed you so much!" Grim then kissed his scythe.

“But what about that Enrico guy?” Asked Gumball.

“I’m sure he’ll get his comeuppance, my feline friend.” Said Double D.

“Like ketchup and mustard?” Asked Ed.

“No, Ed. Comeuppance.” Double D explained. “It’s bad luck that is considered to be fair and deserved for something that someone has done.”

“Like when you conned all your friends with your half-wit scams?” Asked Buttercup.

“Yes.” Replied the ‘sockhead’.

“Sorry about your RV.” Cow told Uncle Grandpa.

“That’s okay.” Said Uncle Grandpa. “I keep a spare one inside Belly Bag!” He reached into Belly Bag to pull out an RV that’s the same shape and size as the original RV.

“Try not to question UG’s logic.” Said Belly Bag.

“But won’t people in the real-world notice that there’s a 2D vehicle in a 3D world?” Asked Chicken.

—-----------------------------------------

Back in the real world, Enrique got out of the RV to show the others how he managed to destroy animation.

“Citizens of Encino!” He shouted. “I have destroyed Cartoon Network once and for all! Check your TVs and streaming accounts!” A passerby just looked at the Latino man weirdly.

“Dude, they’re still around.” He said. “They just had a successful miniseries called ‘The Great Toon War’.”

“What?” Enrique asked himself. “Well, no matter! I have this 2D RV as proof!” Some 7-year-old kids who just got out of school walked by, but then stopped to look at the RV.

“That’s a real cartoon car!” Said one kid.

“It’s not a car, you pea brain.” Said another kid. “It’s a trailer. Adults use those to go camping without using a tent.”

“Be careful with that, you meddling kids!” Enrique commanded, but the kids ignored him and went into the RV.

“Look at all the buttons!” Said yet another kid. “I bet this starts the engine!” He pressed a button that said ‘implode’, and the RV set up an alarm.

“Uncle Grandpa Road Vehicle is set to implode in ten, nine, eight…” The kids immediately ran out of the RV and witnessed the RV implode from existence.

“Look what you’ve done!” Enrique shouted. “You kids should be ashamed of yourselves, running around unsupervised!” Their parents then walked by and recognized Enrique.

“They were only five blocks away from school.” A mom replied. “Enrique Chavez? Is that you?”

“In the flesh.” Said the scientist.

“Why were you yelling at my child?” She asked.

“Oh, crap.” He muttered to himself.

Author's Notes: The tape worm is a nod to a 2018 live-action/CG hybrid movie that is my guilty pleasure, but I'll give you a hint- It's a movie that I reviewed last year that was a homage to the 80s directed by Steven Spielberg.
Phoebe Flame being called an Elsa knockoff is secretly making fun of how similar the Flame Queen is to Elsa of Frozen fame: Both characters are monarchs with powerful elemental abilities, are afraid of hurting others, and prefer to live far away from the ones they love.
Rad throwing the tapeworm into outer space is inspired by how Herc in Disney's Hercules defeated by Titans by throwing them into space with his immense strength.
In The Amazing World of Gumball, everything could talk, even the sun and moon!
