Like
Freshman year, this episode was created in order to deviate from the darkened
mood of Sophomore year series. This should not be taken seriously compared to
the previous few episodes, however it does hold some truth to it in a sense
that the episode may not be completely random. It picks off at a happier ending
from episode 260 instead. After this, we are going back to the series, starting
through the time-skip and the second half of the whole series: Junior Year!
Special 002 – El Monte, Sophomore Year Special!
“You know, I’ve always wondered what
would have happened if the portal back there didn’t limit to just El Monte
students.” Jen said to herself.
“Why do you get the first line of
this special?” Matt interrupted her. “You didn’t do much!”
“W-What?! Excuse me? I’ve done
plenty!”
“The one time you appear in
sophomore year is when you’re on the side asking for help.”
“You are so mean. I helped the group
more than once.”
“When was that?”
“Well… um, I made coffee for
Yessenia, Alex, and Venus.”
“…Uh…”
“And, and, and that one time when I
gave you moral support for defeating Rowen!”
“Oh that’s what you were talking
about? I thought you were murmuring something to yourself.”
“Hey! And don’t forget that I thought
about everyone while you guys were gone.”
“Okay let’s move on to the next
point.”
“Hey!!! I’ll get my relevancy!
You’ll see!!!” Jen said as Matt walked away. Her voice disappeared as Matt
walked further away.
He then looked up at the sky, “But
what would happen if everyone could
return home safely?”
~~~
“Go home, Matt! Go without me!”
Venus said to him. The remaining West Covina students were standing nearby
below the portal and Matt was the only one in El Monte to help her.
“I’m not leaving without you!”
Benny was still in his trance mode.
He yelled in pain and anger. “RAAAAHHH!!!!”
The portal began to talk. “Yo man, I
was just messing with you guys. Y’all can come along. This place be hella weird
anyway.”
“Really?! I can come too?!” Venus
said ecstatically.
“And those two nutheads down there
have to promise to be good if they come along.”
Venus turned to Benny, “Do you
promise?”
“RAAAAHHHH!!!!”
“Is that a yes or somethin’?” The
portal asked.
“Yes, yes it’s a ‘yes’!!” Sammy
begged to go back home safely. “Please take us back too!”
“Yo man whatever. Come on kid, fly
them over here.” The portal ordered. Matt picked up Venus first and threw her
into the portal. The portal coughed. “Ouch, man! That girl be heavy!”
Matt rolled his eyes. “What do you
expect from a robot?”
“Oh she a robot? Totally not hot
anymore.”
“You’re a portal… why are you-…”
“Never mind just bring the other
two, and that dead girl whatever she is.”
“Her name’s Claire.” Matt said as he
picked her up, followed by Sammy. Matt returned to the floor to see that Benny
was still in trance. “Are you coming or not?”
“RAAAAAHHHHH!”
“Well??”
“Okay.” Benny suddenly went back to
normal as Matt helped him up.
“Yo man buckle up because this gonn’
be a sweet ride!”
~~~
The portal suddenly threw the
students back towards the bridge as if he spat them out. Venus fell on her
chest over Alex as they both landed like a spike in volleyball.
“Augh!! Venus, I was peacefully
trying to head over to the bridge and you do this to me?!”
“Heh… I’m sorry? Hey, let’s go see
everyone else! I bet they’re waiting.”
“And ew, what are they doing here?” Alex pointed at Benny
and Sammy and the dead Claire.
“Long story,” Matt said, “but trust
them for now.”
At Arkon’s Magic, Joey helped set up
a steel stage to celebrate for the group’s return, and bringing back new
friends.
Benny whispered to Sammy, “If I go
back to trance mode, no one will survive my attack. This is the perfect plan!”
Sammy sighed. “I’m a little tired
from fighting. Colonel Artemis is gone, so what orders should we take now?”
“Mine. Repeat as I burn this whole
place to a crisp!”
As the three new friends were told
to walk on stage so that they could be recognized, Jennifer did the talking.
“Alright, guys! Here are our three
new members of El Monte High School! First, you’ve got Benny!”
“RAAAAAHHHHH!”
Venus looked confused. “What’s he
doing right now?”
“Sammy!” Jennifer went on. Sammy
said nothing. “And… Claire, I think!” Claire was still dead on the ground,
drooling.
Shirley had a paint brush in her
hands. “So Brandon let me borrow his since we don’t have any brushes
specifically for make-up. We’ll do an initiation for you guys! Oh, this is
going to be so fun hazing- I mean, giving you guys a new look.”
Christine clapped her hands
together. “Oh, I love fashion! I got my kit ready.”
Thuy was amazed at how much
Christine was holding in her hands. It was a giant red box filled with a bunch
of haircut tools and accessories.
~~~
Shirley threw a leather jacket onto
him. “How is this? You’re gonna need that awesome biker look with that scar on
your face.”
Christine debated for a moment. “Hm…
but maybe it doesn’t work well with the hair. I’ll give him a nice haircut
right now!”
Jaime
had a fedora in his hands. “It wouldn’t matter much if we had a hat on, just
saying.”
Van gave Sammy a white wedding dress
which included a veil. “How about this?!”
“You’re tall.” Maggie commented.
“I-I don’t know, guys. I feel like
this is too much.” Sammy blushed.
“I agree with Sammy,” Jaime added,
“I mean, a veil is not good for a
hat. She should have a gangster beanie.” Van and Maggie pouted in return.
Julie said to Amy, “Why don’t we
give Claire a nice anti-meat eating t-shirt? It’s good for you to think
healthy.”
Amy was holding onto Claire who was
lying on the floor. Amy began to cry. “I-Is she breathing?! Please wake up! Is
anyone not seeing this right now?” Everyone ignored Claire’s dead body.
After about fifteen minutes,
Christine finished her haircut for Benny. “Well, what do you think?!”
Benny looked into the mirror. His
clothes were fully leathered and he was even given a few chains for his pants.
He also had a spike collar to add the biker look. Christine waited for Benny’s
response after seeing his sky blue Mohawk.
“RAAAAAHHHHH!”
“Is that a yes?” Christine giggled.
Van had Omar forceful change Sammy’s
outlook into a swimsuit model. Omar wanted to do nothing all day, but Van knew
he could change jobs in an instant, so maybe he could change people’s outfits
in no time.
“Nope, that doesn’t work.” Maggie
said to Van. “Try a more… strong look.”
Van made Omar change Sammy into a
woman from the Victorian Era. “A dark maroon dress for you and a nice braided
hairstyle! How about that?”
“She looks too old.” William judged.
Van clenched her teeth. “Fine. How
about this?!”
“I’m not a sergeant of any kind!”
Sammy said with her camo pants.
Jaime added a military hat from the
Civil War. “Don’t forget this.”
Sammy slapped him. “No! None of
this!”
Julie snickered. “Hehe. Why they are
having trouble picking an outfit for her, I got the finest idea for Claire.
We’ll beat both their groups!”
Amy was still crying. “But this girl
isn’t even breathing!”
From afar, Joey could be heard
screaming to the whole group, “BEACH TIME!”
“Finally, a time to relax with the
whole group!” Huy said excitedly, following Joey and a few others to the beach.
Van stomped her foot. “Ugh! I knew
the swimsuit was a good idea!”
~~~
At the beach, Jason was hiding
behind the bushes, giggling. Jen jumped into the water and Stan and Kalpesh
splashed at her. Alex was behind them, shivering.
“I’m not sure if this is Mariel’s
water, if you know what I mean,” Alex said, “or if this is just a beach that
she handed to us without it having to be a product of her.”
Matt and Yessenia quickly ran out of
the water after hearing what he just said. Jaime, Peter, Omar, Huy, and Tony
were busy throwing sandballs at each other – or at least everyone versus Tony
for some reason.
Thuy and Shirley were making a
sandcastle together and they were feeling a little awkward with Jennifer’s
group still nearby who was still on patrol duty to make sure no outsiders would
attack them. They were not content with how safe they were even in Arkon’s
Magic.
From this point, Sammy became
content with the group. She was accepted even if she was stuck wearing a
military outfit at the beach. Benny? Well… he’s still in trance mode but nobody
really cared.
Julie stabbed a toy shovel onto the
sand and then she opened her arms to her successful creation. “Aha! I finally
finished! Sand covering all of her body and only her head is left.”
Amy watched the dead Claire still
out cold but under the sand. “Um… You’re not planning to bury her, are you?”
Nix appeared and he bounced onto
Matt’s right shoulder. “Heyo!”
“Nix! You’re finally here. What have
you been doing? I don’t think you were resting in my spirit.”
“I had to do some adjustments. And
then I thought about something…” Nix suddenly became disappointed in himself.
“Am I going to stay as a little bird forever?”
“Of course not! You’re going to be a
giant Phoenix and I’ll help you every step of the way!”
“But, I don’t fit in anywhere. You
guys get to be human and I can’t. I don’t understand how human emotions work
and I wish I knew.”
Matt began to hug his fire bird. “It
doesn’t matter as long as we all treat you like one of us. Besides, I think
being a Phoenix would be much cooler, don’t you think?”
“Maybe… I hope so!” Nix said proudly
this time. “But I bet if I was human, it’d be lots of fun. I wonder if it’s
possible?”
“Eh, you be whatever you want.
You’ll still be our Nix no matter what!” Matt began to run back into the water.
“It’s safe to go in, right?”
“I… I think so.” Yessenia seemed
frightened. The thought of the sea being Mariel’s water bothered her so much.
Matt waved over to Nix who was
floating at Matt’s initial spot. “Hey Nix, try to catch me!” Nix began to chase
after him.
“Worried?” Jon stood next to
Yessenia in Matt’s place. “We don’t get enough relaxing here in El Monte ever
since those powers showed up. You might as well enjoy this moment while it
lasts because who knows when the next problem will appear.”
“I understand that. It is just
difficult to keep it off my mind.”
Brandon appeared next to Yessenia’s
other side. “Jennifer told me to take a break from patrol duty to have fun
hanging out with you two. She said it was Lupe’s idea though because she knew
it’d be best to stay a close bond with old friends.” His eyes turned into
stars.
“Um… sure.” Yessenia said, almost
speechlessly.
Amy suddenly screamed. Claire’s eyes
opened and then she sat up, mumbling something to herself. Amy began to cry
again as she hid behind Julie.
From close by, Venus yawned. “Shirl,
you’re in my spot. I need more space.”
“I want to tan as well.” Shirl retaliated.
“What makes you think I’m going to
move away?”
Claire got out of the sand. “Me.
Want. Venus!” She slowly headed towards Venus with her arms outward like a
zombie. She moved one leg forward first, and then the next.
Julie was too calm for this,
however. She only sighed. “Oh my…”
Venus continued to complain, “I’m
trying SO hard to tan after being called a heartless robot, so I’m getting my
dignity back and you’re refusing to move away? Well, then as a robot, I am NOT
going to move and you’ll never be able to push me aside.” Suddenly, shade moved
over to Venus’s eyes. Venus had her sunglasses on and her eyes were still
closed. “Excuse me, Shirl? Do you DARE to confront me now?”
“What are you talking about?”
Shirl’s voice was still to right.
Venus removed her sunglasses and
then she opened her eyes. Claire glared at her, “Me. Want. Venus!!”
“EAAAHHHH!”
Venus screamed. Claire grabbed Venus’s arms and then Venus felt something
strange as if a link was added onto her body. She pushed Claire to the ground,
“Get away!” she said. Suddenly, Venus felt a sharp pain on her back. “Ouch!”
Shirl
began to giggle. “Whatever happens to Claire, happens to you.”
Venus said in frustration, “Damn it.
What a lame power! She linked her physical feelings with me. Take this crap
off, Claire!” Claire was out cold again though. “Wait, but if you’ve fainted,
then…” She suddenly started falling. “Oh no…”
Shirl stared at her. “So… can I keep
this spot?”
Shirley stopped her. “Nuh uh, I’m
taking her spot.”
“Name stealer.”
“I had it first.” Shirley glared.
They began to fight.
The whole El Monte students began to
watch them fight. Matt shrugged. “I guess the fun is over?”
Joey laughed. “AHA! No, this is
awesome! We get to watch girls fight!”
Christine grinned. “That sounds like
Jason’s line…”
Shirley threw an Icicle Rain at
Shirl but Shirl slowed down the icicles. “Nothing can stop me. Hehehe!” Shirl
said in an evil tone.
Alex casted a large Cataclysm at the
whole group. “You guys need to STOP!!!!” He said in rage as Mariel’s beach
water flew upward and onto the whole shore. Everyone was getting swept away.
Matt was floating away with Jen,
“You know, I’m starting to think this imagination of yours is a bad idea!”
“I’ll say!” Jen said as she began
crying.
