Return to Pepperland

Chapter 15: Defeating the Meanies

"You saw WHAT?!" the chief screeched at the defenceless Butterfly Stomper. Robin explained everything to his Blueness, even mentioning about me. The chief was enraged. He was so pissed, that he clocked his lackey, Max.

"THAT IS I T ! Butterfly Stompers, Snapping Turks, Apple Bonkers, Hidden Persuader Men, the Dreadful Flying Glove, and everyone else, SMASH THEM, SQUASH THEM, CRASH THEM, O-BLUE-TERETE THEM!" the big fluffy meanie ordered them. The other meanies cackled evilly, while Boomer hid behind the large crowd of meanies.

Meanwhile... once we were finished performing, George calmed down the crowd. "People of Pepperland, we need your help! The blue meanies are attacking once again, and we can't do it by ourselves. Who will join?" George announced. The crowd loudly cheered. Then, a lady in a uniform stepped up. It was Fred's wife, Rita.

Fred's face lit up and gave Rita a hug. "Oh, Freddie, dear, I'm so proud of you," she told her husband. Egh, romance. No time for that, we're in the middle of a battle!

John turned around to see a snarling bunch of blue meanies, ready to attack Pepperland once and for all. John told everyone to take down the meanies as quickly, and effectively as possible.

It was the blue meanies against Pepperland. There were more meanies than us, but we were the stronger bunch. It was time for the fight of our lives.

"Okay, this is gonna get real messy like last time, but before my grandmother died, she told me to never give up, even if it's during the hardest times," I murmured to myself. "Pepperland, are we ready to fight?!" the crowd loudly cheered. They were more than ready.

"CHARRRGEE!" I screeched. The citizens charged right towards the meanies. The meanies fought back, but they were unmatched.

Carmen kicked the crap out of the Butterfly Stompers, Midnight took out some meanie troops, the Beatles SOMEHOW knocked over the Apple Bonkers, I don't know how, but they did. Jeremy pulled out a sword to duel the Hidden Persuader Men. Jeremy was way too weak for the Persuader Men, so I had to step in for the little nowhere man. When they were about to fire their guns, I stomped on their feet, and the guns exploded. Boomer joined in and battled with me. "Nice aim, partner," he told me. I grinned.

George stumbled into a crumpled heap of metallic gears and pieces, and fell face first. He shrieked in fear. "GET ME OUTTA HERE! I'M STEPPIN' IN ABSOLUTE F I L T H!" George shouted, as the chief was even more enraged.

"N O ! HOW IN- WHAT IN- WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!" the chief screeched.

John rushed to George's aid and pulled him out of the crumpled heap of... whatever the heck it was. George ran away in fear, while John rolled his eyes in disapproval.

John inspected the massive metallic heap of junk, and picked up... what I can assume was a melted piece of metal. In response, John passed it to George. Ultimately, George shrieked in fear. "GET THAT THING AWAY FROM MEEEEEE!" he panicked. George then tossed it to Paul, then Paul tosses it to Ringo, then Ringo chucked it at me. I looked at the lads with anger. "Oh come ON! Stop foolin' around! Get your act together and ATTACK!" I shouted.

As a response, I knocked out one of the Meanies with the melted piece of metal.

Meanwhile; the other citizens took out the rest of the blue meanies. But there was one meanie left. The Dreadful Flying Glove. The chief whistled to call the glove. "There you are, my Glovie! Go destroy those dumb children, Beatles, and those stupid BETRAYERS! NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO, GLOVE, ATTACK THEM!" he screeched at the gigantic beast. The glove flew towards us. He guffawed with his deep, growly voice. We were terrified, but John had a plan.

"Come here, glove! All you need is love!" John exclaimed, hypnotizing the glove with the power of love. The giant beast was now covered with flowers all over its body; the glove flew away with a good feeling inside. The other meanies were defenceless at this point. Hundreds and hundreds of meanies ran away with fear in their hearts, terrified by the colourful life of Pepperland. Everybody cheered. George smiled, and gave me a hug. I was incredibly shocked. He was never this kind to me before. I wanted to tear up. Boomer nudged Midnight. "Not half bad, kid. I'm impressed," he told her. Midnight chuckled.

The chief screamed in anger. "BETRAYERS! FOOLS! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE ON YOU!"

Before the chief could do anything else, Jeremy recited a familiar poem. "Supplant the doom and the gloom! Turn off what is sour, and turn into a flower, and bloom! Bloom! Bloom! Ha-ha!" he excitedly recited. Flowers bloomed everywhere on the chief's fluffy body, freaking out even more. He got hit with the power of love. Jeremy started to giggle happily, making flowers bloom out of the ground. He defeated the meanie chief.

The Pepperlandians cheered once again for Jeremy's heroic deeds. Ringo hugged Jeremy, starting to tear up. "Oh, Booby, I'm so proud of you!" he exclaimed. Jeremy hugged Ringo back. Rita and Fred hugged each other, so did Paul and John, and so did everyone else, except for the chief and Max. John glanced at the two meanies. "Hello there, blue people! Won't you join us? Hook up, and otherwise commingle! What do you say?" he asked. Max and his Blueness looked at each other. Max insisted that they'd join us. The chief wasn't terribly sure.

Jeremy made the puppy dog face at chief. The chief sighed. "Shall we join, Max?" he asked his lackey.

"No- I mean, yes, your Newness!" Max exclaimed. The two smiled at each other, and gave in. They were no longer evil. Neither was Boomer.
