PART TWO of "The Griffino Factor"

[Anthonynotes]

..broken up to make loading this story easier on slower connections (like, um, *mine*. :-)

---

BUTTERCUP: (In awe) *Wow.* This..is....cool.

PROFESSOR: (Also in awe) Yeah...guess it kind of is... (shakes his head) Er, I mean, as you can see, between the propulsion systems, reinforced armor, and weapons systems I adapted from Dynamo's design schematics, the upgrades we've made to Stocktron should allow for sufficient protection and offensive tactics against the myriad of talents Griffino offers... (nervous) I *hope*.

MOJO: (Eyes briefly widening) Yes...and also, the robot is capable of being operated from the separate seating compartments; the head compartment offers room to seat either these three rodents, or one simian such as myself, being a chimpanzee...

BILLIE: It also has the ability to split into four separate sections---to make it easier to divide and conquer against the likes of Stewie!

BRAIN: Finally, the feature that will be of main aid against defeating Griffino.... (we see Brain climb into the torso's seating compartment, and press a button; we see emerging from a port within Stocktron's chest area is a thick cable...) This combination data/electrical cable will interface with the lower torso access port that Mojo says Griffino has, which allows Griffino to recharge at regular intervals and access Stewie's computer systems as an alternative to a wireless link. We shall simply connect with Griffino's access port, access his computer systems via the passwords Mojo has provided, and shut down his system by draining Griffino's power, thereby deactivating that mechanical monster.

PINKY: *Narf*, Brain....but won't it be dangerous if we have to get *that* close to Griffino?!

BRAIN: Yes, Pinky...but would you rather see Stewie take over Townsville? (Pinky shakes his head "no") That's what I thought...

BUTTERCUP: (Gleeful) This...looks...so...*COOL*! (Grins, then it quickly fades as she realizes the seriousness of the situation) I mean, I can't wait for us to go out there and kick that metal bad guy's butt!! (Makes punching motions in mid-air) Just lemme at 'em.... *I'll* reboot his system!

BRAIN: I appreciate the eagerness, Buttercup....and you'll have your chance, I suspect; Stewie is known for using rather hardball battle tactics, and even with the five of us and your two sisters' help, this won't be an easy fight. (To the other two mice) Now suit up...we've got a Final Confrontation™ to attend. (Orchestra music hits a crescendo)

NARRATOR: Ooooh, the Final Confrontation™! I sure hope we see that metal monster and infant monster get what's coming to them....or that the good guys (gulp) survive!

(Fade to a few moments later; we see emerging from behind the orange, original-model clamshell-style iBook™ on the Professor's desk are the lab mice; they're all dressed in their "anime character" costumes, complete with the oversized eyes. We see Brain is having the Professor installing a video camera within Stocktron's chest)

PINKY: Brain, what's the Professor doing?

BRAIN: That's "Optimus Brain", Pinky...while we are battling that brat, I do plan on making *part* of our original goal in coming to Townsville try to pay off. I'm installing onboard cameras within Stocktron's torso that will record our every action. And once we use the footage of us in action to sell to an anime show producer, we'll be on our way to building a fan following that will allow us to eventually become *rulers of the world*!

BUTTERCUP: *That's* your taking-over-the-world *plan*?! (We see the Professor and Buttercup stare at each other briefly, then break down into laughter; Pinky and Billie smirk a bit, while Brain looks annoyed.)

BRAIN: And just *what* is wrong with that *plan*?!

BUTTERCUP: (Between laughs) Oh, *nothing*...just that, well, take over the world through being on some stupid-sounding *TV show*--- (laughs some more) Oh, sorry, Brain....

PROFESSOR: (Wiping a tear from his eye) Yes, me too... (sighs)

BRAIN: (Still somewhat annoyed) *Very well, then*...

MOJO: (Smirks) Indeed....what a ridiculous and ludicrous plan...now *I* would---

BRAIN: Save it, Mojo...we don't have time for another debate on ethics or modus operandi... (puts on his helmet) Now *come*...let's *move out*.

(We soon see the mice in each separate compartment---Brain in the torso section, Billie and Pinky in separate sections on each shoulder---and Mojo seated in the head; we also see that our view has changed to a "letterbox" view, with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen [it'll stay this way through the whole Final Confrontation™.])

BILLIE: (waving to Pinky in his compartment) Too bad Mojo's up in the head; otherwise, Pinky and I could be a lot more effective in the main compartment, *together*... (grins)

BRAIN: (Rolls his eyes and gags) Please, Billie, some of us want to get actual *work* done, not worry about your, ahem, "socialization" desires...

BILLIE: (Frowning) Hmph... spoilsport.

BRAIN: (Doing a systems check) Structural integrity systems... *on*. Power systems...at 100% efficiency...

BILLIE: Laser cannons....on standby. Propulsion systems.... *on*.

PINKY: (staring at his control panel) Ooooh, what's *this* button-thingy do? (He sees on the viewscreen in his console reading "Anime Action Sequence Language Options: Off; English (dubbed); Japanese (with English subtitles)." Pinky accidentally presses the third option....)

BRAIN: (Now speaking in Japanese; we see subtitles on the bottom of the screen.) <Backup power--- (realizes something's amiss) Pinky...did you just activate the language translator option?>

PINKY: (Also in Japanese, as everyone else will be for the rest of the Final Confrontation™) <Um...er....well...>

BRAIN: (Sighs) <Never mind.... that option was to satisfy the foreign markets and make our show more appealing to hardcore anime purists, by translating everything within a two-mile range of Stocktron into Japanese. But no time to worry about that now---we've got work to do.>

PROFESSOR: <Good luck, all of you... including you, Buttercup.>

BUTTERCUP: <Yes, Professor. As the stars are my guide, I shall endeavor to triumph in battle.>

(All blink and stare at her)

BUTTERCUP: <Sorry...it's this stupid anime-language-translator-thingamajig! It made me sound like one of those dumb manga comics Bubbles likes!>

BRAIN: <Very well....let us take off. Prepare for lift-off!>

(Cut to an outside shot of the house; we soon see emerging from behind the house is the flying form of Stocktron, courtesy of its propulsion boots. We also see Buttercup flying alongside the robot. They all head for downtown Townsville...)

NARRATOR: The *Mayor's* Office!

(Fade to the Mayor's office; we see Stewie's finished eating, and is standing on a desk, pointing out to Griffino his future line of action on a globe in the office...)

STEWIE: And after we take over Washington, DC, I'll use the might of our nation's nuclear arsenal to reduce those rats' ACME Labs to *rubble*! No, scratch that---I understand a certain red-headed animal-loving girl that Brain briefly stayed with would *love* to have her "precious-wecious mousey-wouseys" back, heh-heh. Or maybe I should nuke all of Burbank back to the Stone Age, and thus reduce those (now talks in Japanese) <wretched Warner siblings to irradiated chunks of matter! HA! (Realizes his language change) What the deuce?! Why am I suddenly imitating someone out of a Godzilla movie? Must be the doing of that accursed Brain....which must mean he's somewhere close by!> (Looks out the window, and sees a robot approaching, with the flying figure of Buttercup...)

STEWIE: <I see he's upgraded his little "toy" as reported... it appears Brain wishes to begin the Final Confrontation™. Though I really wish he wasn't in such a hurry to get to...his *FUNERAL*!> (Orchestra music: Dum-dum-duuuummm.... zoom in on Stewie's face, as we see Stewie rapidly shift the pupils of his eyes back and forth, while clasping his hands together) <Griffino...activate manual controls!>

GRIFFINO: <Activating manual controls... > (Griffino's head opens up, and we see a set of manual controls and a small seat inside; Stewie ducks behind the Mayor's desk, and swiftly emerges, now wearing, of all things, a blue-colored armored outfit that resembles the anime/video game character "Mega Man"; we see him hold out an arm, aims it at a bust of the Mayor on a nearby table, and blasts it with a laser blast, disintegrating the bust. Stewie laughs.) <Oh, Brain...you won't know what hit you---until it's *TOO LATE*!> (Laughs again, and climbs into Griffino's head/manual control center; a clear dome goes up over where Stewie's seated, and we see Stewie pressing a few buttons. Griffino hovers in mid-air, then flies off to meet the heroes...)

(Cut to Stocktron and Buttercup; they come to a stop, as they see in front of them...)

ALL: <GRIFFINO!>

MOJO: (Pointing) <And the obnoxious and annoying baby known as Stewie Griffin, for that is what he is called!>

STEWIE: (Through a microphone) <Correct, cretins. (Sees Mojo) And how nice to see you're treating Michael Jackson's pet banana-eater so charitably, too. (Mojo frowns) Now that I am ensconced within my mighty golem, I shall make short work of all of you using the combined powers of the Warners, Slappy Squirrel, Axel Foley, Brain, Billie, the Powerpuff Girls, Wonder Woman, and...oh, never mind---let's just say I'm "armed to the teeth"...along with about to start "kickin' butt and takin' names!" HAH!>

BRAIN: (Glaring at Stewie/Griffino) <Then let's *get it on*...>

NARRATOR: <Oh, boy! The Final Confrontation™! Who will win?! Who will *lose*?!? Oh, this is too exciting! I... (sees he's speaking in Japanese) hey, what's with my *voice*?!>

BRAIN: (To the other mice/Mojo) <Begin separation sequence!>

PINKY: <Aye aye, Optimus Brain!>

(We see in an oh-so-cool looking anime-style sequence the arms separating from the torso of Stocktron, along with the head portion; all are soon in separate pieces, powered by its own propulsion systems. They all hover in mid-air in their separate components.)

BUTTERCUP: <Aw right! Let's *go*!>

BRAIN: (to Buttercup) <Wait, Buttercup---I'd like you to go to Mojo's hideout with Billie and find some way of disabling that beam Stewie's using on your sisters!>

BUTTERCUP: <Aww, can't we help you face Griffino?!>

BRAIN: <We need to free your sisters, Buttercup... plus, you'll be able to assist us in defeating Griffino once you and your siblings return.>

BUTTERCUP: <Oh....OK, then. Long as I get in one good punch on that thing! Let's go, Billie!> (The two take off for Volcano Mountain...)

(We see the remaining separate pieces fly toward Griffino at top speed, with a "fast-moving streaked-lines-against-a-red-background" anime speed effect...the usual PPG fight scene music plays throughout the Final Confrontation™.)

PINKY: (Eying the background) <Ooooh, "Optimus Brain," how come the background looks all streaky-looking all of a sudden?>

BRAIN: (slightly annoyed) <"Pink the Stampee", stop paying attention to the trivial details and keep your quote-unquote "mind" on the job!>

PINKY: <(Shrugs) Oh, OK.... (presses on ahead of the others, laughing all the way....) Oooh, going faster makes the streaky lines go *faster*! HAHAHA! Wheeeeee!>

(Pinky reaches Griffino first, slamming his arm's "fist" into the android (with a slow-motion anime-style closeup of this collision) and sending both of them slamming into the side of the City Hall building. The Griffino android gets up, and uses its superspeed talents to speed toward the torso with Brain in it, also with a "streaked-lines-background" effect, only this one is blue-colored...)

PINKY: (waving Stocktron's arm in mid-air) <Brai----er, "Optimus Brain", look out!!!>

BRAIN: (Grits his teeth) <OK, Stewie...try *these* on for size!>

(Brain presses a few buttons, and unleashes from the torso several missiles...Griffino, oddly enough, doesn't move out of the way. We see Stewie press a few buttons, and suddenly, Griffino is seen grabbing the missiles like a football, and tossing them in a pass back towards the others...)

BRAIN: <Drat that Slappy Squirrel's expertise at explosives...>

(The missiles impact Stocktron's torso, causing Brain to reel backwards; however, he's merely shaken.)

MOJO: (Hovering over Brain) <Actually, Brain, I myself programmed in that maneuver...>

BRAIN: <*You*?!>

MOJO: (Eyes widening a bit) <*Yes*... Peyton Manning himself taught me that particular maneuver, from when I last visited the NFL team that I am in ownership of and own...)

BRAIN: <Peyton Manning? But he plays for... wait a minute---you mean to tell me you *own* the Indianapolis Colts?!>

MOJO: <Yes....it is a means of funding some of my brilliant schemes through the financial resources their merchandising and ticket sales bring in annually...and lessens my need to rob banks for cash, that is, income.>

PINKY: <Oooh, this explains why a team named after a horse has "Touchdown Monkey" for a mascot, NARF!>

BRAIN: <Yes, I suppose it would, Pinky...but didn't that team last year have a particularly poor season...?>

MOJO: (Annoyed) <IT WAS JUST A TEMPORARY SETBACK! (Raises a fist) We *WILL* rise to victory and go to the Super Bowl, that is, the championship football game itself, next season, which shall be won by the Colts from the city which is the state capital of the state of Indiana, that is, Indianapolis!>

BRAIN: <Yes, I...see.> (Smirks to himself at the idea of a Colts Super Bowl, then clears his throat, turning his attention back to Griffino) <I see that this might take tougher measures.... *Mojo*, *Pinky*, surround Griffino, *NOW*!>

(They do so; however, Griffino doesn't faze at this...Stewie activates some more functions, and we soon see Griffino vanish...)

BRAIN: <Now where did he...?>

PINKY: <Oh, Brain---he's right behind you! TROZ!>

BRAIN: (Seeing behind Pinky) <*No*, Pinky, he's right behind *you*!>

MOJO: <I beg to differ---he's right behind...ME!>

(All turn around to see that behind each of them seems to be Griffino itself....)

STEWIE: <Awww, what's the matter, Pinky? Don't find someone being in *three* places at once as *funny*? Go on, laugh....while you're still ALIVE!>

PINKY: (Confused) <Um, er...which one do we go after, Brain?>

MOJO: <I've got a way of finding out---- with *THIS*!> (He starts pressing various buttons, and we see various laser cannon nozzles emerge from the bottom of his head-unit; Mojo, with a sinisterly gleeful and vengeful look on his face, starts blasting at the Griffino behind him, only to find that Griffino's vanished from before his eyes.) <What?! Where did he move himself, that is, go to?!>

STEWIE: (From behind Mojo) <Right behind you, Gorilla Grodd... and I must say, it's rather surprising you'd be willing to team up with those rats. Guess you *are* more pathetic than I thought! Oh, by the way, here's a little extra parting gift from me--- (lays a super-powerful punch on Mojo's head, in another "freeze-frame close-up anime-style shot", and sends Mojo's head unit spinning out of control....)

(Inside Mojo's unit, we see several wires fraying, and a few sparks emerging from the controls....Mojo tries frantically to regain control. A computer voice says: <"Warning: axial controls destabilized... total loss of control and impact imminent.">)

BRAIN: (Seeing this) <Mojo's in trouble! Quickly Pinky, catch him!>

PINKY: <Uh, OK, Optimus Brain!> (Moves quickly to intercept, laughing at the streaked-line-background effect again; however, we suddenly see Griffino streaking forward towards Pinky, and unleashes a Powerpuff Girl-esque "energy blast" from its hand. It slams into Pinky, causing him to sprawl out of control...>

BRAIN: (Shaking his fist) <Darn you, Stewie!> (Moves his torso unit toward the two out-of-control pieces, while activating from his torso a grappling hook; he latches onto the out-of-control Mojo, and Pinky uses his "arm"'s hand to grab hold of the hook's rope, thus stopping his sprawl.)

MOJO: <Now to enact repairs and fix the head unit.> ... (Presses a button, and we hear the computer say <"Emergency diagnostic running...">) (Sees something, and points) <Brain, behind you!>

<Griffino slams into the torso unit; Brain unleashes a burst of laser blasts, but it doesn't seem to be slowing him down, as Stewie lays a few punches onto Brain>

STEWIE: <What's the matter, Brain? You look a bit pacifistic---you're completely *unarmed*! HA!>

BRAIN: (Using the torso's still-attached legs to karate-kick Griffino) <Where did you learn those jokes from---your *father*?!>

STEWIE: (Punching back once more) <Ooooh, snappy comeback. I'll remember to have them list it in your *OBITUARY*!>

MOJO: (Seeing Brain getting pummeled) <Brain! Activate the program file "mojo_shocktreatment" under the computer's subdirectory!>

(Brain looks, and does so; we see the torso section unleash in the same manner as Pikachu on "Pokemon" a large electrical shock, enveloping Griffino and stunning the mighty android...inside, we see Stewie's also reeling from the shock...)

BRAIN: <What in the world...?>

MOJO: <When you mentioned that the energy conservation techniques I developed could have possible alternative uses, it occurred to me to create this electrical shock defense mechanism from the spare energy that the conservation methods provide....however, given its energy-depleting nature,this is not a battle tactic I would recommend employing again anytime soon.>

BRAIN: <I see... (finger under his chin) Very cleverly executed...>

(The shock soon ends, with Griffino's exterior smoldering; the robot lands on the ground, and leans there, with Griffino's hand on his "forehead" as if in pain...)

STEWIE: (Rubbing his head as well) <Ooooohhh....this is going to hurt in the morning...>

BRAIN: <Pinky, now please press the big, shiny red button on your lower-left hand side...>

(Pinky does so; we see emanate from his "arm"'s wrist area a giant-sized bolo, which whirls around in mid-air, and strikes the temporarily disabled Griffino...it wraps itself all the way around the android, covering the robot from head to toe. It falls to the ground, unable to move...)

BRAIN: <Y-E-E-S! The high-stress materials that that bolo is made of should hold that android for just long enough for the others to get back here as reinforcements, so we can disable this android...(gulps) I hope.>

(As the still-weakened Griffino struggles to break free, we turn the clock back a few moments, to see Billie and Buttercup approaching the lair of Mojo Jojo. Buttercup breaks in through the roof, with Billie following suit.)

BUTTERCUP: (Seeing the high-gravity generating device) <Whoa....that must be the gravity-machine-thingamajig! *It's CLOBBERING TIME*!>

BILLIE: <Wait, Buttercup....!>

(Too late; Buttercup streaks toward the machine; however, we soon see cables extend down from the device's main console, and quickly wrap themselves around the just-landed heroine. Buttercup finds herself unable to budge...)

BUTTERCUP: <Hey! What is this?!>

(We suddenly hear a recorded message)

STEWIE'S VOICE: <I figured one of you asinine antagonists of mine would try to free your little comrades...well, it *won't work!* Now, you're trapped within my cables----a duplicate of Griffino's version of Wonder Woman's "magic" lariat! Try as you might, you won't break free! Oh, and by the way, it'll keep getting tighter and tighter until, well, let's just say I'm putting the "squeeze" on you, HA!>

(We see the cables growing tighter and tighter around Buttercup, who despite her powers, is beginning to gasp for air...)

BILLIE: (Hovering out of range of the high-gravity machine) <Hmm.... we'll see about that.>

(Billie activates a laser wrist cannon on her "arm", and we see her aim it directly at a trophy shelf sitting above the console; she unleashes a blast that ricochets off one of the trophies [consisting of a monkey holding a bowling ball], and knocks it over onto the console. It hits the main power switch on the controls, and we soon see the device de-activate. The cables unwrap from Buttercup, and she falls to the floor, gasping for air.)

BILLIE: <Buttercup, are you OK?>

BUTTERCUP: <(Gasp) Yeah....I'm fine. But how did....?>

BILLIE: <Well, from the brief scan of the machine I did from my "arm"'s computer sensors, Stewie built that device out of the same armor he used on Griffino...so I figured brute force probably wouldn't work. So, I just deactivated the thing. Simple, huh?>

BUTTERCUP: <Yeah.... (coughs)>

(We soon see streaking into the Observatory are none other than...)

NARRATOR: <Blossom! Bubbles! Oh, my stars, our two powerless heroines have *returned!*>

BUBBLES: <Buttercup! Billie! Oh, it was terrible!>

BLOSSOM: <Yeah! We were stripped of our powers by some high-gravity-generating device of Stewie's, and...(sees Billie and her "arm") Hey...that *does* looks pretty cool.>

BILLIE: (Smiles) <Thanks...now come on....I'll explain everything along the way!>

(The Girls and Billie take off, heading back toward the scene of the fight, where we see that Griffino's about to free himself of the bolos.)

PINKY: <Um, what are we going to do, Optimus Brain? Griffino's about to break free, TROZ!>

STEWIE: (Pushing on a lever with all his might) <*Unhhhh*...*correction, fools*...> (We see the bolos break, and Griffino flexing in the process) <*HAVE* broken free! Now, face my *full wrath*---huh?>

(They all turn around, and see that the Girls and Billie are streaking towards the fight...)

BRAIN: <YES! Billie, we need your help! We must rejoin to form the full Stocktron unit to finally defeat Griffino! Can you Girls keep him distracted?>

BLOSSOM: <No problem! Come on, Girls---*CANNONBALL!*>

BUBBLES: *CANNONBALL!*

BUTTERCUP: *CANNONBALL!*

(All three Girls curl up into balls, and streak at superspeed into the lower reaches of space, then sharply turn back around to re-enter Earth's atmosphere at a fast clip; they're moving so quickly that the re-entry speed causes them to burst into comet-like flames....the "fiery cannonballs" slam into Griffino, causing a loud explosion, and sending Griffino hurtling into the side of a large building. A billboard showing the Talking Dog promoting some brand of dog food falls into the street. However, Griffino manages to get back up, and lays an energy blast on all three Girls, paralyzing them with pain...)

(Meanwhile...)

BRAIN: <We must hurry! Quickly, activate STOCKTRON FORMATION SEQUENCE!>

PINKY: <Right, Optimus Brain!>

(Cheesy 1980's-style rock music begins to play, as inexplicably a star-filled background forms behind the heroes....we see Brain's torso hover in the air...)

BRAIN: <Time to form Stocktron! Activate locking mechanisms! Main neural net activated! Hyper-thrusters are *GO*!>

OTHERS: (Yelling) <LET'S GO, STOCKTRON!>

BRAIN: (Hovering in mid-air) <Forming torso and legs!>

BILLIE: (Locking her arm back in with Brain's torso) <Forming... the *ARM*!>

PINKY: (Trying to lock his "arm" into the head area) <And I'll form THE HEAD, *WA-HAHAHAHA!*> (We see Brain use Billie's "arm" to make a fist, and bop Pinky's portion of his "arm"; Pinky, now groggy, subsequently puts his "arm" into its proper position. Billie frowns at all this.)

BILLIE: (Groaning) <Eggy, remind *me* to deal with your "Three Stooges" antics later...now hurry, Mojo!>

MOJO: <Forming the cranial portion, that is to say, the HEAD!>

(We see all the parts locked in, and with a bright burst of light, we see Stocktron's fully united once more. The star-filled background and rock music ceases, as Stocktron takes toward Griffino....who's managed to get the three Girls in a bear hug, and is trying to crush them....)

BLOSSOM: (Straining to speak) <*No*.....can't end...this way!>

STEWIE: <Oh, I beg to differ... unless there's another way you prefer to meet your demise, hmm? I'd normally prefer the guillotine, but that's just *so* *messy*! Now, any particular person or deity you wish to say your last words to, hmm?>

(We see Stocktron slam into Griffino, knocking him into the side of the city jail, specifically the cell the Mayor and Miss Bellum were locked in; they scramble out from the wreckage.)

MAYOR: (Kicking Griffino) <*Bad robot! Bad robot!---OW!*> (Grasps his foot, and hops around in pain.... Miss Bellum sighs)

(Stewie ignores this, and turns his attention back toward Stocktron....we see both of the robots take off toward each other into the air simultaneously, with the same ever-so-exciting streaked-background effect...)

BRAIN: <"Pink the Stampee", prepare to grapple our adversary....> (Doesn't hear a response) <*Pinky*?!>

PINKY: (Ogling the background again) <Ooooh, this is making me dizzy, and I rather like it! HAHAHA, NARF!>

BRAIN: (Annoyed) <Remind me to hurt you later, "Pink"...>

(The two robots clash in mid-air, and we see the still-framed collision shows the two are grappling each other's hands, trying to wrestle each other out of the sky...)

BRAIN: <"Bil Li," "Pink the Stampee," we must hold Griffino still long enough to dock with his main controls!>

BILLIE: <I *told* you to try to go for a wireless hookup, "Optimus" Eggy, but *noooo*....now we have to do it the hard way!>

BRAIN: <Billie, don't start right now... we've got bigger problems!>

BILLIE: <Yeah, I know....OK, let's try *this*!> (She activates her Stocktron arm to grab onto the neck of Griffino)

STEWIE: <Nice try, Minnie and Mickey...but not *good enough*!> (Tries grabbing the arm to remove it with)

BILLIE: <Pinks, *now*!>

PINKY: <No problem, "Bil Li"! HAHAHA!> (Looks longingly at the controls, uncertain which ones to press...)

BRAIN: <Um...sometime *TODAY*, "Stampee"!>

PINKY: (Misinterpreting Brain's remark) <"Stampee"? Um, OK...maybe that'll do something! NARF!> (He uses his Stocktron arm's fist to, of all things, stamp repeatedly on the foot of Griffino, shouting <"Stampee stampee stampeeeeee, HAHAHA!">; this knocks the robot off-balance, causing Stocktron (with Billie's "arm" still holding onto Griffino's neck) to fall on top of it. They crash to the ground, and continue to struggle.)

STEWIE: <I see you are *not* going down easily... very well, time to activate full defense mode!> (We soon see Stewie add more power to weapons and other systems, and see a heat vision blast emanate from his eyes, along with an energy burst from one of his hands... Stocktron lies on the ground, immobilized)

(We see the Girls flying toward Griffino and Stocktron...we still hear the PPG fight music playing.)

NARRATOR: <Go, Girls, go! Brain needs your help!>

BUBBLES: <We've gotta do something!>

STEWIE: (Seeing the approaching heroines) <Indeed....like, oh, get *CRUSHED*?!> (Motions for Griffino to pull on a rope that's suddenly materialized from out of nowhere next to the robot)

BILLIE: <Great...he's utilizing the Warners' Final Confrontation™-ending battle tactic skills! (Shouting) GIRLS! LOOK OUT!>

(Buttercup and Bubbles move out of the way, but Blossom isn't quite so lucky---she winds up being crushed by, falling from seemingly out of nowhere, several pianos, a few safes, a cruise ship, a 747 jumbo jet, a smaller-sized version of the Rock of Gibraltar, a "Walled-Mart" store, and finally, a blue whale, leaving a huge crater in the middle of the street. We also see Griffino use its spare hand to whip from behind its back a large bundle of explosives, and toss it into the hole; we then see a huge explosion, rattling the downtown area and leaving an even larger smoldering crater in the ground, as the various dropped objects are sent flying. Bubbles and Buttercup, gasping, slowly peer over the edge of the crater, and don't see any sign of their sister. They look sad for a brief moment, then quickly turn to anger... Bubbles seems to be going into her "hardcore" mode. They then streak toward Griffino, and begin laying various punches into its head at super-speed. Pan over to Stocktron; we see Stocktron's putting up some defense, via Mojo laying in with his laser cannons at Griffino, along with Billie firing her cannons as well, but to not much avail...Griffino still has a strong death grip on the heroes as it continues its energy-attack barrage...)

[Anthonynotes]

BUBBLES: (Laying in another punch to Griffino) <This is for our *SISTER*, you big...uh, diaper-head!>

STEWIE: (To Bubbles) <Oooh, "diaper head"....there's an original retort; what I'd expect from someone who probably plays in the *mud*!>

BUBBLES: <Hey! I do not! But at least I don't have a head that looks like a *football*!>

STEWIE: <Oh, really...as if I'd talk about physical appearances; you girls look like some rejects from some insipid anime program!>

BUBBLES: <*Anime is NOT*...uh...whatever that word is you just said!>

BUTTERCUP: <Yeah! It's way cooler than *your* show probably ever was!>

STEWIE: <The sort of retort I'd expect from three five-year-olds whose idea of something mentally challenging is watching "Puppet Pals"...not that I don't mind partaking in that program on occasion, but at least *I* was smart enough to construct this robot. The only thing *you two* could build is probably a second-rate Tinker Toy!>

BUBBLES: <Nuh-uh!>

STEWIE: <Nuh-*huh*.>

(The Girls continue to argue with Stewie, distracting him from Stocktron, which is still pinned to the ground from Griffino's energy attack assault...)

BRAIN: (Thinking) <Hmm... Stewie's been distracted by the Girls...which leaves me time to do *this*.> (We see Brain press several buttons, and pull on a lever; the data cable is unleashed from Stocktron's torso, and snakes its way to the lower torso of Griffino, where we see a port where its "belly button" would be. The cable connects with the port...we see in Brain's torso a terminal program on his console's computer screen, which he types into on a keyboard....we soon see Griffino begin to jerk rigidly, as if paralyzed. Stewie stops arguing with the Girls long enough to see what's wrong...)

STEWIE: <What the *deuce*?!? > (Presses various buttons, but with no response; then eyes the data cable) <Wait a minute....what're you *DOING*?! How did you get access--->

MOJO: <I provided the Brain with the access codes that *you* provided me with, thereby providing us with the means to defeat you, you little *brat*! Ha ha ha!> (Smiles)

BRAIN: (To the computer) <Computer, de-activate all power functions within Griffino...>

COMPUTER VOICE: <Complying....power levels now dropping to 88%...78%...72%...>

GRIFFINO: (Now sounding a bit like "Hal" in "2001: A Space Odyssey) <Danger... my mind is going, Stewie...I can feel it...>

STEWIE: (Yelling) <*Oh, blast it all*!!!> (We see Stewie frantically trying to override Brain's control of Griffino, but to no avail.)

(Pan over to see Blossom crawl out of the crater, rubbing her head...)

BLOSSOM: <Oooohhhh... > (Sees the paralyzed Griffino) <Say, guys, what's going on?!>

BUTTERCUP: (Smiling confidently) <More like what's goin' *down*----namely, Griffino!>

COMPUTER VOICE: <...power levels at 3%....2%...>

GRIFFINO: <I know a song we could sing.... *Daaaaiiiisy....daaaaaaisy.....*>

COMPUTER VOICE: <...power levels now at 0%. Griffino unit is now powered down.>

(We see Griffino slump over, now completely "dead." Stewie pounds on the inactive controls, shouting in protest.)

BRAIN: <Excellent....> (Grins slyly) <OK, who here wants to finish him off?>

(We see the Girls all excitedly going "ooh, oooh, pick me! Pick me!," and Pinky doing so, as well)

BRAIN: <Well, in that case, let's *all* lay in on our adversary...>

GIRLS: <Yeah!>

(We see Stocktron and the Girls pick up the now-lifeless Griffino, and hoist it overhead...Stewie continues to yell in protest. The heroes flies it up into the air a bit, and proceeds to go into a pile-drive into the ground... inside, we see Stewie sighing, and adjusting his helmet on his head. We finally see in an oh-so-kewl anime-style effect Griffino being slammed into the ground; this action is seen replayed three times in a row, quickly. When the dust clears, we see the depowered robot's body's various arms and legs are partially detached, and a few wires/circuits are sprawled onto the ground. From the wreckage, we see Stewie crawl out, still in his blue body armor. Stocktron lands on the ground.)

STEWIE: (Eyes the wreckage, then yells) <*BLAST*! (Turns to the heroes) Very well, then--time to *DIE!*> (Lets loose a few randomly-fired rounds from his armor's hand lasers, but to no avail; we see the three Girls streaking towards the infant to lay in their trademark fight-ending haymakers. However, Stewie suddenly yells...)

STEWIE: <WAIT! Erm, surely you wouldn't hit a *baby*! Uh, yes, that should do nicely--- (makes a lame, pretend baby-crying noise) "Waaaaah?">

BUBBLES: (Halts in mid-air, along with the others) <Gee, he's right, Girls...I mean, he's bad and all, but he *is* a little baby...>

BUTTERCUP: <Are you *kidding*?! Hello?!? He's the guy who tried to *kill* all of us?!?>

BLOSSOM: <Gee, Bubbles has a good point... he isn't even potty-trained yet! (Chuckles a bit at that remark, as do the other Girls)>

BUBBLES: <Well, maybe he just needs to go home to his *mommy* or something... >

STEWIE: (Rolling his eyes) <Oh, for *criminy's sake...*>

BUBBLES: (Picks up Stewie, to his protest) <Maybe we can have his mommy pick him up?>

BUTTERCUP: <Aw, c'mon.....>

BLOSSOM: <Yeah...he should be going to *jail*, not to his *parents*!>

BRAIN: (Making a face) <I assure you, from what I've learned about Stewie's family, being with his parents is *easily* more punishment than any jail would provide... and in actuality, before the Final Confrontation™ even began, I've already contacted them, and informed them they could come pick up their ill-mannered infant.>

STEWIE: (Now getting really angry; his entire face does that "take up the entire screen and growing to enormous size" thing one sees on "Pokemon" whenever someone's ticked off) <How *DARE* you contact my maternal and paternal figures, you *INSOLENT RODENT?!?*>

(Stewie's head shrinks back to normal; we see Pinky laughing at this stupid "take-up-the-whole-screen" bit)

PINKY: (Bent over with laughter) <WA-HAHAHAHAHA! Ooooh, this and that streaked-background-thingy are probably even *better* than that "two places at once" bit! HAHAHA!>

BRAIN: (Sighs)

(We see a cab pull up in front of the group; a window rolls down, and we see a hand wave.)

VOICE: (From the cab, sounding nasally) <Ah, *there* you are,honey! Oh, we were worried sick about you!>

(Two figures step out of the cab; we see they're none other than Lois and Peter Griffin, Stewie's parents from "Family Guy." Lois seems unordinary in appearance, and has a bit of a nasal voice; Peter on the other hand, dresses and acts like a non-bald, glasses-wearing, unfunny version of Homer Simpson, only ten times as dumb, crude, obnoxious, and boorish).

LOIS: (Picking up the protesting Stewie) <Awww, look at this...he looks so *cute* in his little playsuit!>

STEWIE: <CURSE YOU, VILE WOMAN! This is *not* a playsuit, but rather a lethal, fully-armored warsuit with a laser cannon arsenal! As if being handed defeat by J. Fred Muggs and his petting zoo reject squad wasn't bad enough...>

PETER: (Touching the suit) <Ooooh, someone's cranky...and hopefully not because I, erm, accidentally tore half your room apart because I was drunk for the last three days in a row> (Does an inane-sounding laugh that sounds like a deeper-voiced ripoff of Homer Simpson's "hee hee hee" giggle; the other heroes look at each other uneasily)

LOIS: <We were looking everywhere for you...fortunately some nice man who sounded a lot like Orson Welles said you were here in Townsville, and also told us why you were here...>

STEWIE: (Nervous) <He...did?>

LOIS: <We didn't know you managed to become a finalist in the annual Goober baby food beauty contest!>

STEWIE: <WHAT?! Oh, is *that* what Stuart Little there told you, did he? Well, let me tell *you* something, I---> (Gets cut off as a pacifier's stuck in his mouth)

LOIS: <There! Isn't that adorable! With you and that little blue suit of yours, you'll be the best-looking baby ever...of course, if we win, you'll have to go on tour making various appearances for the next six months...>

STEWIE: (Spits out the pacifier) <SIX MONTHS?!>

LOIS: <..and of course, not counting the length of time in the competition to win the contest to begin with. But since I have business to attend to back in Quahog, and you'll have to travel around the country to participate in the contest, I'm going to give this opportunity for you to bond with your *favoritest person in the whole wide world*...>

STEWIE: <..*no*...>

LOIS: <....with...>

STEWIE: <...oh, dear *Lord* NO...>

LOIS: (Close up on just her mouth) <...your *father.*>

STEWIE: (Slow-motion, as he's handed to Peter) <*Noooooooooooooooooo.....*>

PETER: <Uh, hey, Stewie...betcha there might be some hot chicks on this tour! Except, y'know for the, erm, guys, since they're, uh, guys. (Pauses) And we probably oughta avoid any of them foreigners we see, too.... because they're *aliens*, of course. Huh? Eh?> (Does that inane laugh again; Stewie now screams) <Oooh, and along the way, I can show you how I learned to use my head as a drum...kind of hurts bangin' it against the wall all them times, but that helmet of yours looks like it'd provided decent protection...> (Laughs again)

LOIS: (Hailing a cab) <Say goodbye to your little friends, Stewie...>

STEWIE: (Irate) <YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, ALL OF YOU!!! (As the parents walk off with Stewie) MARK MY WORDS!>

PETER: <Ooooh, someone needs to be used as a....*bongo head*!> (Starts using Stewie's head like a bongo drum)

STEWIE: <AAAAH! NO!! *BLAST*!!! CURSE YOU POWERPUFF GIRLS AND BRAAAAAAIIIINNNNN....!!!>

(The Griffins enter the cab and leave; we still hear Stewie's last line trailing off into the distance as they drive off. All the heroes cheer, as does a small surrounding crowd of spectators, including the Mayor and Miss Bellum. The mice all climb out of their compartments, and scramble down to the ground.)

BUBBLES: <We did it!>

PINKY: <Yeah, NARF!>

MAYOR: (To the heroes, as various media members' TV and photography cameras are aimed at the group; we see flash bulbs go off) <As mayor of Townsville, I wish to thank you Girls and your little furry friends with helping stop that naughty baby! And to our visiting friends...a key to the city!> (Hands the lab mice an old-fashioned looking key, which makes them topple to the ground due to its weight.)

MISS BELLUM: <Um, sir...maybe we should just mail it to their home.>

MAYOR: <Whatever for, Miss Bellum? They're standing right here!> (Miss Bellum sighs)

BUTTERCUP: (Looking at the fallen figure of Griffino) <Awww, kind of wished I could've gotten in a *few* more punches against Griffino!> (Starts punching half-heartedly on the fallen robotic figure; the others, except for Brain, laugh)

BRAIN: <Hmm...say, has anyone seen Mojo?> (They shake their head no...)

BUBBLES: <Look, I found this in your robot's head!>

(She hands a piece of paper to Brain)

BRAIN: (Reads it) <"Dear Brain, Thank you for giving me the chance to seek revenge against that accursedly cursed infant Stewie. I also wish to thank you for providing me with, via the construction of this robot and the computerized blueprints I have downloaded to floppy disk, the means I need to finally defeat those reprehensible Powerpuffs! While you insist that genius should have no malevolent and negative uses, I believe that this will prove you wrong! Ha ha ha! Sincerely and salutations, Mojo Jojo." (Shakes his head)>

BLOSSOM: <Whoa...Mojo's gonna build his own Stocktron robot? But how will we...?>

BRAIN: <I suspected something like this happening. Not to worry...I've built into the Stocktron unit's vital controls a means of deactivating the robot via a remote control in the Professor's lab. I doubt Mojo will have realized that with the way the override has been designed, thus making dealing with his robot a non-issue.>

(Brain walks over to Stocktron, and deactivates the "language translation" unit...everyone's speaking patterns reverts back to normal.)

BILLIE: Thanks, Eggy... was starting to feel like a dubbed-over Japanese monster movie character...

BUBBLES: (In Japanese) <Um, guys, does this mean that....>

BLOSSOM & BUTTERCUP: In *English*, Bubbles!

BUBBLES: (In English) Oh....sorry. (Grins; some of the others laugh)

NARRATOR: (Laughing as well) that Oh, Bubbles...what a bilingual card!

(Fade to Townsville International Airport the following day...we see the mice are about to leave for New York, and are in the process of saying goodbye to the Girls/Professor. The mice are back in their usual state of non-dress.)

PROFESSOR: Well, sorry that your trip here didn't turn out as expected...but I'm sure that Billie and Pinky enjoyed themselves last night...

BILLIE: Oh, yeah...Townsville's nightlife was *awesome*! The restaurants, the nightclubs---we even snagged a CD copy of those dance club DJs' song remixes!

PINKY: I especially like their "Ana-mon Monsters" theme song remix--- (starts singing, while making rapper-like motions) "A-A-A-Ana-mon...*Analog Monsters*! A-A-A-Ana-mon...*Analog Monsters*...WORD!" HAHAHA! TROZ!

BLOSSOM: Well, as you know, as superheroes, we can't *really* officially endorse your wanting to taking over the world....

BRAIN: I understand...

BLOSSOM: ...*but*, well,...we thought we'd wish you luck in any future endeavors, anyway.

BRAIN: Thank you, Blossom.

BUBBLES: Yeah...the Professor said that was a nice use of...of...what was that word again?

PROFESSOR: "Semantics," honey.

BUBBLES: Oh, yeah! (Mispronouncing it) "Mechanics!" (The others briefly chuckle at this)

BLOSSOM: By the way, what'd you do with Stocktron and what's left of Griffino?

BRAIN: (Pointing to two crates being loaded onto the mice's flight) We're taking them both back to ACME Labs with us, to be put in storage. And hopefully, this incident will discourage that little monster Stewie from trying to create *another* Griffino robot...though the cynical side of me suspects that that both mechanized and *non-mechanized* monster alike will be back.

VOICE: (over the terminal's P.A.) Now boarding for flight #123 to JFK...now boarding....

BILLIE: Well, there's our flight. Ready to go, Pinky?

PINKY: Yeah.... (hugs the legs of Bubbles) I really liked playing with you, Bubbles! Maybe we can, you know, that thing where you move the pencil on the paper...?

BUBBLES: "Write?"

PINKY: Oh, yes! That's it! NARF!

BUBBLES: Here, Pinky... I drew this picture for you. (Hands Pinky a drawing of the mice, the Girls, and the Professor all together, in Bubbles' usual drawing style)

PINKY: Oooooh, pretty! I'll put it on the refrigerator next to the Psychic Hotline listings, NARF! Thank you!

BLOSSOM: (Gently shakes Billie's hand) Well, so long, Billie... if you're ever in Townsville again and we need your help...

BILLIE: (Smirking) ...well, of *course* we'll be willing to help!

PROFESSOR: Good... (looks around, hands Billie a piece of paper; it reads: "profutonium@townsville.edu") Here's my e-mail address. If you wouldn't mind, I have this project I've been working on, but was wondering if you'd mind...well...double-checking a few equations for me? (Grins)

(Pan over to Brain, who's with Buttercup)

BUTTERCUP: Well, goodbye, Brain....uh, sorry I thought you might've been anything like Mojerk.

BRAIN: That's quite all right. I suppose you did have every right to be suspicious of my motives, especially with your chosen "profession."

BUTTERCUP: OK...thanks. By the way, can I have a copy of that Stocktron-vs.-Griffino battle? It was *totally awesome*! I mean, the way you punched him like this.... (does a few punches in mid-air) oooh, ooh, and then you did this (does another punch)...

BUBBLES: (Hearing this) Oooh, and it was cool the way---

BLOSSOM: (Joining in, in unison) Oh, and I thought the way Stocktron---

(The Girls are now fully excited, rambling on about how cool they thought the Final Confrontation™ battle was...)

PROFESSOR: Girls, Girls...I'm sure the Brain will be more than happy to give you a copy of his video of the fight. (Sees a distraught look on Brain's face) Um, is there something wrong?

BRAIN: (Saddened) I'm afraid no copy can be made...because the footage was destroyed during the conflict with Stewie and Griffino. The result of a large laser blast to the chest area where the camera was installed. Thus, there goes my plan...

PINKY: Awww, there there, Brain. At least you got to wear cool-looking body armor, NARF!

BILLIE: And you got to prove that you're nothing like that Mojo guy...

BRAIN: (Perks up slightly) I suppose so... (picks up a mouse-sized suitcase made from a matchbox) Now come, Pinky, Billie...our flight to New York awaits. (bows to the Girls) Good luck, Powerpuff Girls; I'm sure you'll continue to make your city and paternal figure proud.

BUBBLES: "Pa..tern...al..?"

PROFESSOR: I'll explain on the way home, Girls.... now let's go. It's been a long day...

(The two groups wave goodbye to each other, as the mice go off to board for their flight home; fade to the exterior of ACME Labs at night.)

NARRATOR: One week later...

(Fade to the inside....we see Billie is surfing the Internet on the lab's computer; she stops at a website for the "Townsville Times"'s online version of its newspaper)

BRAIN: (Walking over to the computer with Pinky) Billie, what are you doing?

BRAIN: I received an e-mail from Professor Utonium earlier today; he said something about how we should check out today's edition of the "Townsville Times."

(We see the main page for the site; the headline reads: "POWERPUFF GIRLS EASILY STOP MOJO JOJO FROM RAVAGING TOWN WITH ADVANCED ROBOT." A photo below the headline shows Mojo being led away in handcuffs by the police; the Girls are giving each other high-fives. A typical-looking robot of his lies lifeless in the background. A caption reads: "Girls stop robot with 'secret weapon', as they put it")

BILLIE: The "secret weapon" must be the remote-control shutoff you mentioned; guess Mojo really did rush into trying to use the plans for Stocktron for his own advantage.

PINKY: Egad, Brain...do you think Mojo will ever change? I mean, they're such nice girls...I don't see why he hates them so. POIT!

BRAIN: Pinky, in life, we are all free to make whatever choices we wish. If Mojo wishes to throw away *his* life on an asinine grudge against those girls, then so be it.... (rolls his eyes) as long as he thinks he's happy living his life this way, I suppose.

PINKY: Well, in that case, with all his time spent going after them, he must be *very* happy, NARF!

BRAIN: (Shakes his head) Somehow, Pinky, I rather doubt it. But, as I said, if this is what he really wants....

(Cut to the outside of the Townsville Correctional Center; inside, we zoom in on one particular cell, in which we see Mojo Jojo is ensconced. No incidental music is playing for this scene. He looks out the barred window, gazing at the sight of a few clouds and a crescent moon for a few moments silently, before making a grunt noise, scowling, and turning his attention to a blueprint he has on his bed bunker detailing another plan for destroying the Powerpuff Girls. The scene is still silent, as we see him using a pencil to obsessively mark up the blueprint, save for the sounds of his pencil moving across the paper; the camera pulls back to show the surrounding exterior of his cell.)

NARRATOR: Ah, Mojo... won't you *ever* learn?!

(Cut to the "pulsating hearts" closing, as the usual closing PPG theme music plays)

NARRATOR: And so, once again, the day has been saved...thanks to:

(We see the usual closing shot of the PPGs in posing formation over the pulsating hearts background)

NARRATOR: THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!

(We suddenly also see the lab mice zapped into the scene)

NARRATOR: ..*AND*, PINKY, BILLIE, AND THE BRAIN!

(We *also* see zapped into the shot Mojo Jojo himself)

NARRATOR: (Slightly sneering) ...*and* Mojo Jojo, I *guess*...

(We see all the heroes and Mojo begin arguing over space in the now-crowded spot; we fade to "THE END", as the Narrator sings: "They're Pinky, Billie and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain... heh, not a bad song." He begins singing the main PatB theme... "They're Pinky and the Brain, Pinky and the Brain, hmm-hmmm-h-hmmmm, the other's in-saaaane...." as we fade to black.)

This was a great story I loved the large bunch of anime cliches
and Brain and Mojo comparing the reasons for their goals.
Griffino is a great aide for Stewie and I hope the mechanical foe is rebuilt to plague the crew again. I hope you write another story, but perhaps you could use Snowball. I know his voice actor is dead, but maybe there's another person who could take over, how about David Warner? I even have an idea: Snowball plans to use hit summer movies to hypnotize the world. And maybe Axel or some of Brain's other friends could make an appearance. You know I love your writing, I wish my current projects would come out this good. Of course you're the man so you don't have to take my suggestions.

In the credits, I imagined the Powerpuff credit song (You know "Blossom: commander and the leader; Bubbles..."). Can I help write a fan fic with you? And can Time Squad be in it?

[Lonestarr]

Great story, Brainatra. Given some of the stuff at the end, vis-a-vis describing Peter, can I assume that you are not a fan of "Family Guy"? It doesn't make the story less enjoyable, though. Once again, good work.

[Anthonynotes]

Thanks for the compliments, all...

>>>Great story, Brainatra. Given some of the stuff at the end, vis-a-vis describing Peter, can I assume that you are not a fan of "Family Guy"? It doesn't make the story less enjoyable, though. Once again, good work.

Outside of Stewie (and Brian the dog), no, I'm not a fan....or a few others on here apparently (see: the other fanfic stories Stewie's been used in).

>>In the credits, I imagined the Powerpuff credit song (You know "Blossom: commander and the leader; Bubbles..."). Can I help write a fan fic with you? And can Time Squad be in it?

Not sure when I plan to write another one (or even if), but with literally no knowledge about or exposure to Time Squad, probably wouldn't be able to do much with these characters (only seen "Time Squad" once, the "Dishonest Abe" episode). Plus, would rather bring back Peabody and Sherman (Time Squad's apparent cartoon time-travelling predecessors) anyway ;-) Of course, you could always start a chain link story of your own that makes use of the characters, and allow others who know more about them to write the characters...

Snowball's been used in a few past stories (see: "The Return of Snowball"), but it seems that for the most part, his character's about as "dead" in most of these stories as his voice actor, with Stewie filling the same/similar role that Snowball would have...

If'd you'd like to see more of Griffino....uh....try reading old JLA comics with "Amazo" (the basis for Griffino)---the android with all the powers of the JLA. Hmm.... maybe the new animated JLA could face off against Griffino... there's a matchup ("Stewart! Watch out for the yellow-colored... (Clang!)--*anvil*..."). :-)

Griffino's actually appeared in two other stories (besides his original appearance in "Warner Academy 2", which also featured the original Stocktron robot): "A Very Wakko Thanksgiving" (in a Pokemon-critter-type of mode, accompanying "Team Ninja") and Robert's "Revenge of the Villains" story (as a weapon-upgraded "Griffino Mach 3").

As for future stories, I had two ideas for ones I was thinking of writing (on my own):
- a sequel to "Mr. Foley Goes to Washington", since 2002's an election year and all. Namely, something involving a huge political scandal involving Axel & the Warners, forcing the mice to clear the puppy-children and Axel's names (and parodying O.J., the Lewinsky trial, Enron, Watergate, etc.).

- another story involving Superboy...maybe his last day in Smallville/first day at Metropolis University. Not sure who he'd meet though (the lab mice again? the Warners?); approximate time era being circa 1991 (allowing a bunch of Gulf War jokes I guess). Though of course there's also the cliche of "pulling him out of the past and into the present" again ...erm, or not.
