Lots-o'-Lightning (Story/RP)(READ SPOILER WARNING)

[Deleted]

I know I still need to finish HFAA, but I need to do this now so I can have the RP segment at the right time. I haven't forgotten about it, I'll get back to it.

For now... THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR TOY STORY 3. Yeah, that means Lotso's in it. It is also highly recommended that you read The History of Robotics first. Yeah, that means Shaman Partenen is in it too. Let's see what the bear and the psychopathic ghost are up to.

{Graveyard}

*A white weewoo flies over a graveyard, surrounded as far as the eye can see with a junkyard. The weewoo is carrying a large wrapped present.*

*BZZZRT*

*The weewoo falls to the ground, dropping the present. A robot comes out of one of the tombs, grabs the present, and takes it inside.*

{Partenen's Laboratory}

*The robot enters the laboratory and presents the present to the demonic spirit there, Shaman Partenen.*

: Don't bother me, I'm busy! *turns around* What's this? A Christmas present? Well, I guess I'll have to wait... *notices tag* "Open as soon as you recieve this. Do not wait until Christmas." Well, if they insist!

*Chains spring up from the walls, grabbing the present, the robot exits. The chains tear open the present to reveal...*

: A pink teddy bear!? Someone clearly means to insult me!

*The chains throw the bear at the wall.*

Not quite, Shaman.

*The bear begins to stand up and starts growing to human size.*

: My name's Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, but you can call me Lotso. I've got a bit of a proposition. Word has it that you're the only fairly neutral party around here that can use Writer Powers, is that right?

: I guess it is!

: See, I'm looking to gain some power here like I had back at Sunnyside, where I ran the place. It seems natural, right? From what I've been hearing, these Writers treat characters like kids treat toys.

: Only one problem, bear, I can't use their powers until they hand them to me. Get them to request a robot from me, whether they know it or not, and you've got a deal.

: Well, I think I have a good plan for that.

{Icy Taco}

: DICE [15] ...wow

: *walks in*

HI LOTSO _{what do you want}

: Skye! Good to see you! *tries to hug him* Hey, I was thinking, it's Christmas and all, and I'm missing one of my friends from back home. His name's... Teddy. Do you think you could use your Writer Powers to bring him in?

*hugged* Oh, um, Teddy? Sure! *writer powers*

*appears valiantly*

: um, i was expecting a teddy bear or something, lotso what did you do

: Well, this certainly is a surprise!

i've been waiting for an excuse Wrong Teddy?

There's no wrong time for THEODORE ROOSEVELT!

Candy: :<

: Oh hello there! *hugs*

: what did you do, bear

: I didn't do anything.

Candy: *hugs* ... *throws at mister roosevelt*

: *thrown*

*catches, holds up above head for a second, then puts down* Quite unsportsmanlike to cause harm to a creature that's thrown at you. Off you go, then.

: *stands up* Right, I probably should be going now. *quickly walks out*

{Meanwhile, Partenen's Laboratory}

Oh, um, Teddy? Sure!

: *quickly channels Teddy Roosevelt into the robot and watches it vanish* *absorbs the Writer Powers* Now... for Lotso's part of the deal... *goes to work a laser of some sort*

*A little while later, Lotso walks in.*

: Well, I saw your work on Roosevelt, turned out pretty well. Now... what have you got for me?

: Well... Just because my robots are run on souls... doesn't mean there isn't a way to reprogram them! *throws a pink laser with chains and lightning bolt designs* That will let you choose other variations of personalities for the characters. It doesn't just work on robots, either!

: *catches* Hmm... Changing up settings is something I can do. I'll make sure you get rewarded for this, Shaman. *walks out*

((I may update again later tonight with something longer, just wanted to post what was done for now.))

{Library}

: *sitting at a table, flipping through books* Plenty of characters have dark sides... But will any be useful...?

: You've been in the library a lot, I see!
By any chance have you been reading anything by me?

: Sadly no. I'm just doing some research about the local culture here.

: This place is closing early, because it's Christmas Eve!
But you could talk with people at a party, I believe.

: Do you have a party you're going to?

: Gandhi and I are going to Churchill's!
The house will be decorated with all sorts of frills!

: Hmm, sounds fun to me. *closes book* I think I have all the research I need.

{Churchill's House}

: *playing music from the speakers in his hat*

: *dancing in his white suit*

: *dancing*

: *looking in the window, teddy bear size* Well... I don't plan to steal Christmas. Especially since I don't want to go against Churchill alone. I'll just wait until they leave... *walks away*

: Okay, I have some gifts for you two...

SPOILER: Click to show

{Outside Churchill's House}

*Late at night. Gandhi and Seuss are walking out of Churchill's house together, carrying their gifts down the road.*

: The party was excellent, wouldn't you say?
Almost as good as my presents today!

: Though I may not be able to appreciate the religious significance as much, I did have a good time.

: Well, I'm glad to hear it. *walks out from behind the bushes, growing to human size*

: Lotso my friend! How are you?
Did you find a party to go to?

: I think I just found one. *pulls out laser and traps them in a yellowish glow, stunning them and making them drop their presents* *a holographic screen pops up on the device* Hmm, let's see the options... Let's start with Seuss. Theodore Geisel... no... Ah, here we are. "Evil Writer - Grinch" Let's try that setting. *BZZZZZRT*

: *falls to the ground* *stands up with a Grinchy grin on his face*

: Now let's try Gandhi. Hmm... Civilization form? This looks intriguing. *BZZZZZZRT*

: *falls* *stands up, calm*

: Now, how would you two boys like to help me take over this place?

: Claiming this territory for India would be a great gain.

: They may have had their Christmas fun,
But wait until they see we've won!

: Good... This will work out wonderfully.

*The three of them walk away.*

{Outside Churchill's House}

: There isn't much evidence here, Churchill.

: Who attacks someone on Christmas?

: The entirety of the law enforcement here is making sure we're prepared for 12/28, the anniversary of DL-6. You think this could have anything to do with it?

: Well I-

: *runs up* What's a-going on here?

: ...Two robots were attacked last night. Possibly by evil spirits associated with the Ring of Darkness.

: Eeevil spirits!? D-don't worry, I'm an expert! *runs away*

: ... We'll see what we can do, Churchill. *goes back to talk with police*

: Evil spirits... If a spirit is involved, I don't think they're in the Ring...

{Partenen's Laboratory}

: So, boys, how are we going to split up the Taco once we take it?

: I don't care as long as I get Writer Powers! Make them request robots for your army if you want.

: I don't even need a dime,
As long as those Tacoers have a rotten time!

: My requests are not so modest. Territory and taxes for India are my price.

: Sure, sure, I-

: *runs through the door holding the Poultergust* Stop right there, g-ghost!

: Who is this... idiot!?

: Why Luigi, you've got things all wrong. You look scared. Here, let me give you a hug. *wraps Luigi in a massive bear hug*

: Lotso? What are a-you-

: Shaman! Now!

: *fires laser at Luigi*

: *lets go, walks over to take laser* Well, looks like you have some evil in you after all! Isn't that right... Mr. L?

{Churchill's House}

: *standing on porch, gun at the ready* It's strangely quiet...

: *walks up* As far as we can tell, no Ring activity at all.

Well, I guess we don't have our distraction, but we don't need it!

: *flips through the air and lands in front of Churchill and Uther*

: Who are you!?

: I am the Green Thunder... *spins around quickly, and strikes a pose* Mr. L! Now, Mr. Presentshisbadgeallthetimeandfrowns, Mr. Britishrobotinatophat... Have at you! *leaps high into the air*

: Gah!

: *takes aim and fires at Mr. L*

: *hit, spins around in the air, crashes to the ground* *stands up, dusts self off, runs at Churchill and Uther*

: *sends him flying back with a fireball* Is that all you've got?

No, it sure isn't.

SPOILER: Click to show

: *walks in, followed by Gandhi and Seuss*

: Hey, are you here to help?

: Do not speak to me, British dog. I am only here to expand the Indian Empire.

: Huh?

: Can't you see, Mr. Churchill-

: I've managed to take away their free will!

: *aims gun*

: *stands up, drinks Shroom Shake* Now... Prepare for my Brobot P-Type! *backflips into the air, out of sight* *returns piloting a massive robot that looks like Mr. L's head, but with chains hanging down from it* Have at you! *shoots a huge burst of lightning at Churchill and Uther*

: *dive out of the way*

: *stretches out arms to grab Uther and Churchill, throws them high into the air*

: *missile launchers pop out of shoulders and fire at the airborne heroes*

: *fall to the ground*

: *leaps into the air and sends them flying into a wall with his hammer*

: This... this is impossible!

: We... need... HEEEEEEEEEAAAAALP!

: Who do you expect to hear that cry for help, Churchill?

Me. Agents are... go!

*Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down begins playing*

: Mission! *presents badge*

: Elite... Beat... Agent?

: *begins dancing along to the music*

: *laughs* Well, what is that going to do?

*a glow surrounds Churchill and Uther, and they stand up confidently*

: What!?

: *run at the group of enemies, dodging attacks*

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind,
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time.
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah!

: *attempts to grab Churchill and Uther*

: *throws Uther into the air*

: *throws a fireball at Seuss, sending him flying backward*

: *continues dancing, looks over at Gandhi who seems to be approaching Churchill*

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you,
I really don't mind what happens now and then,
As long as you'll be my friend at the end!

: *launches incendiary bombs at Churchill*

: ! *idea* *starts glowing orange and sings along*
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman,
If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,
Kryptonite!

*Song of the Volcano activates, shielding Churchill from the fire attack as he charges and hits Gandhi back with the back of his gun*

: We can't just defeat them, we need to free them!

: Lotso did something to him. Maybe he still has whatever he used on them.

: *dances, watching Mr. L*

You called me strong,
You called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep,
You took for granted all the times I never let you down.
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead,
I picked you up,
Put you back on solid ground!

: *launches missiles from the Brobot at Churchill and Uther*

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well will you be there, holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,
Kryptonite!

: *runs so that a missile follows him back in the direction of the Brobot, ducks, and sends a fireball after the missile so it explodes, sending Mr. L flying into the air*

: Guess it's just you and me. *takes out laser* Maybe on the same side!

: Let's destroy that thing!

: *blasts Uther with the laser* Well... you have been manipulated by villains before, haven't you?

: No...

: *faces Churchill, grinning evilly as meteors fall from the sky*

: *watches Lotso*

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman,
If I'm alive and well will you be there, holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,
Kryptonite! Yeeeaaaah!

: *dodges meteors, using them to deflect laser blasts he gets closer to Lotso*

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman,
If I'm alive and well will you be there, holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might,
Kryptonite!

: *takes out gun, firing it at Lotso's laser and destroying it in a massive explosion*

SPOILER: Click to show

: *leaning against Churchill's house as the Churchill, Uther, Gandhi, Seuss, and Luigi stand up after the explosion* Looks like I came to help you at the right time.

: Who are you?

: I'm Agent J, of the Elite Beat Agents. We're an organization helping those in need with, well...

: Dancing? How does that even help.

: Heh. The power of rock is underrated. I've looked into the magic of this world, and it might help to think of me like a bard. I come to help and give people the strength and rhythm they need to succeed.

: Any offensive magic?

: Nah, but I know martial arts if I need to fight. Capoeira, dancing opponents to defeat!

: *looks around* When did Luigi get here? And what happened to Agent J?

: Oh, that's a long story. I showed up and-a saw Mr. L and I-a chased him off!

: *walks over to Lotso, who has become a normal sized, inanimate teddy bear* Looks like the explosion defeated the bear...

: And Partenen fled. Oh well. ... Anyone else want to head to the pub after that battle?

: Thought you'd never ask.

: Heh, if there's a jukebox, I'm in.

: I should probably get home and rest...

: The battle was long, the price was steep,
So I want to get home and sleep.

: Yeah, I'll-a just go home! Bye bye!

*The group walks off. When they're gone, Lotso stands up.*

: Never trust a non-toy... I'll take over this place someday. *walks away*
