IT’S OFFICIAL! Zap is BACK!
….oh. yeah. And trust me, this story moves with current times.

Walmarts across america have one thing in common- skylanders are being cleared from shelves, and no longer being sold. It’s a Wal-pocalypse, and skylanders are flipping out. But one evil man, named walter martington, is hell-bent on killing all the skylanders just to get a raise, and to move up the job ladder.

Now a group of skylanders must put a stop to walter martington, and bring skylanders back to wal-mart!

Zap- the leader of the group, as well as the oldest. he’s never afraid to speak his mind, and kind of rude at some times.
Hot Dog- a hot dog, who is zap’s second in command. he is also quirky and energetic.
Cranky- a wind up who is the technical expert of our group. he’s pretty paranoid.
Stubby- a hex with one arm. nuff said. she’s a bit looney.
Pokey- a pop thorn who is somewhat grumpy. he’s good friends with carl.
Carl- a scorp who is kinda stupid. he’s unknowing, and good friends with pokey.
Apeman- a grilla drilla who is REALLY serious and tough. he rolls around on a hot wheels dump truck, since his legs/drill do not move.
Dewie - a pop fizz who is the medic of our team. he’s childish, and friends with stubby.
Pungi- a cobra cadabra who cannot speak, but he talks by playing his flute.

Elinor- a tuff luck who assists the crew, hailing from the next door target. she’s somewhat independent, but has pity for Hellboy.
Hellboy- A ka boom who’s really manly and crap. He’s not smart though.
Alex- a blastermind who plans out stuff. He’s like Hellboy’s opposite. Wimpy, but can whip up a plan in seconds.

Leonidas- a dark wildfire who mostly speaks in RAWR but still says some stuff in english. He’s strong, and does not take orders.
Apollo- A knight light who is the key to stopping Walter Martington, from the royal kingdom of Toys R Us. he’s somewhat unknowing.

Walter Martington- Manager of walmart store #1000619, and wants to get rid of the skylanders so he can keep being manager. he’s greedy and rude.
“Fun” Gus- a shroomboom who is Operator of the melting machine. he’s kind of neutral.
Digit and Figit- two hand traps (tech and undead) who seek out and find skylanders so they can be killed. You could call them bounty hunters.
Coreova Nighttrouper- Coreova for short. A knight mare who has a serious grudge with Apollo. Assists Fun gus, digit, and figit in bounty hunting. she’s very serious, and will wind up killing most of the people who wind up dying. (yes, i said wind up twice.)

*a man in a walmart uniform walks down the aisle of skylanders. he takes a row of gustos and puts them in his cart. one drops, and he simply shrugs it off.*

Gusto: Guys? GUYS! WAIT! WAIT FOR ME!

*a shroomboom grabs the peg of gusto’s box. and drags it into the back rooms. the same man is there. the shroom boom, who’s name was gus, spoke.*

Gus: Crap! A human!


*the man, walter, turned around and screamed.*

Walter: a talking toy… a moving toy… what sorcery is this!? How…

Gus: allow me to introduce myself. I’m gus. i work for a thing called the shroominati. we are attempting to clear the shelves of all skylanders...but shroomboom. HAIL SHROOMBOOM!

Walter: well so am i! Corporate says we have to stop selling skylanders. sales and stuff are dropping. Since you are a skylander, i guess i have to send you back to distribution.

Gus: don’t! i have an idea! i know guys.

Walter: guys?

Gus: those guys… are hands.

Walter: hands!? this must be illuminati satan witchcraft!

Gus: but they’re good. for me, at least. i know a girl. i know these hands. together we could get rid of all the skylanders! you’d probably get promoted, and i would too!

Walter: i guess. i guess we shall. get your hand friends over here and then we’ll talk.

Gus: deal. but the hands aren’t real good talkers.

*Gus and walter part.*

Meanwhile in the clearance section…

*a man, not walter, but a man throws some skylanders on a clearance rack. the boxes break open. a scorpion striker pack lays there, opened.*

Zap: Huh… where am i?

Hot Dog: Dude, we’ve been clearanced!

Zap: WHAT!? but i don’t get it… we’re skylanders!

Hot Dog: i know, right!


*a series one hex limps over to the opened box. one of her arms is gone.*

Zap: oh, hey stubby!


Stubby: Well what’s gonna happen now? the whole shelf was cleared.

Hot Dog: we could go to target…

Zap: I’ll get Apeman and Cranky.

Hot Dog: and i’ll get pokey and carl. Gotta love carl.

*Dewie jumps down on Hot Dog’s head.*

Dewie: HEY GUYS! we gotta get out of here!

Zap: okay, mr obvious.

Dewie: i has a sad.

*apeman and cranky walk over.*

Apeman: What do you people want!?

Cranky: I...I...I KNEW IT!!! THE END IS HERE!


Apeman: Oh god…

Zap: We’ve been clearanced. we’re going to target now.

Cranky: This must be the work of the SHROOMINATI!


Apeman: The what?

Cranky: A-a-a group of e-e-evil shroombooms that want to kill us all! it’s a n-n-new world STOREDER!
Hot Dog: the shroominati is just a myth!

*pokey and carl drop down.*

Pokey: where are we?

Carl: this is the clearance section, i think.

Pokey: the toy ‘hood.

Apeman: well what are we waiting for!?


Zap: let’s go.

*the toys left the store that night.*

Meanwhile at target…


*a blastermind is writing down something on paper. a math problem. a Ka-boom walks over.*

Hellboy: alex, what chu’ doing?

Alex: i’ve found something out. there’s been a lack of visitors from walmart..

Hellboy: So what? it’ll be fine.

*elinor drops down.*

Elinor: oh quit fighting, boys! alex is right. We have seen a lack of visitors.

*dewie pushes open the door.*

Dewie: we come in peace… or something.

Zap: anybody in there?

*Hellboy runs over and grabs zap and dewie with his super manly muscles.*

Hellboy: welcome to target.

Alex: please, tell us, why have there been no visitors?

Zap: me and my friends were clearanced. all the skylanders at that store were clearanced!
Alex: SAY WHAAAAT?

Zap: we can explain more..

Alex: this must be the work of… the new world store-der!

Hellboy: REALLY? the new world storeder crap has gotten to you..

Elinor: anyone else with ‘ya?

Zap: yeah.

*The others come in.*

Hellboy: a grilla drilla, huh? us wave 3 trap masters never seen a swapper like you.

Alex: interesting. you’ve configured a alternative transportation method, since the bottom halves of grilla drillas do not operate as mobility.

Hellboy: say that again?

Alex: *sigh* monkey have no legs, monkey wheel in dump truck.

Hellboy: oh.

Alex: come in. we have popcorn.

Can we have a knight light?

Quote: Eruptor100

Can we have a knight light?

apollo is a knight light.

Well, hope this lasts.

*meanwhile at toys r us…*

*the store is closed. a small thing with wings walks to the front doors, and whips out a white, glowing scimitar episode 7 trailer style.*

Apollo: Leonidas! we have to go! she’s coming!


Leonidas: I’m coming, tiny wings!

Apollo: I SAID NOT TO CALL ME THAT!

Leonidas: Fine. Anyway, how will we break the doors?

Apollo: get on my back.

*apollo flies them both out through the top vent. a shadowy figure runs down, followed by clicking noises. then the pitter-patter of fingers follows up too.*

Coreova: They got away! Digit, i told you to hand his butt to him! Oh wait, you can’t talk! Grr. ONWARDS!

*digit and figit jump on coreova’s back and she rides them into the darkness. she enters the back rooms, or section a17, to be precise. it’s a gambling room in there, where amiibo are being bet on. skylanders are chugging down root beer. hey, it’s e10+! as she rides in, everything stops. a food fight glares intensely at her.*

Coreova: LISTEN UP!

*she holds up a poster of apollo and leonidas.*

Coreova: If you see this knight light, bring him to me for 100 dollars!

(to a toy, 100 is a lot of money.)

Coreova: You can tell him apart by the black mark on his back. I put that there. And if you see anyone with him, bring them to me for an extra 10 dollars EACH!!

*remember that food fight? yeah. his name is kevin.*

Kevin: why do you want him, Coreova? he’s innocent as an angel, isn’t he!?

Coreova: You don’t know a thing, kevin.

*Coreova snaps her fingers. Digit and Figit grab kevin and walk him to coreova. coreova uses her traptanium sword to cut his face off.*

Coreova: any questions?

*nobody moves. then they all leave and run out to look for apollo.*


Coreova: Just as planned.

(at target…)

Alex:...and that is what the shroominati is!

Zap: wow, that’s intense.

*apollo and leonidas land.*

Cranky: AHHHH!!!!!!! *cranky runs off.*

Apollo: What is this place?

Hellboy: Target, fellow brother. What element do you hail from?

Apollo: you see… There has been… an awakening!

Alex: What!?


Apollo: When kaos blew up the prison… the elemental powers of light and dark rose… and here i am. Light element trap master, in the plastic. Look in disgust if you want to hear more.

Leonidas: we been chased by horsey.

Apollo: Coreova Nighttrouper is her name. best bounty hunter in all of the malls. we go way back.. and we hate eachother. now she has a price on my head. MY head! I’ve got to hide.

Alex: you can stay here… but you have to tell me more. MY MIND REQUIRES MOAR!!!!

Apollo: calm your brain-tits!

Zap: i want more popcorn.

Elinor: i’ll go get it!

Leonidas: pop corn PLEEEES?

Elinor: that’s cute.

Leonidas: GIVE THE POPCORN OR DIE, WOMAN.

Zap: WHOA…

Apollo: he does that.

Alex: do you know any other new people from light and dark? other than you and knight mare?

Apollo: well there are 2 dragons. Spotlight and blackout. and 2 new worlds, and 6 new traps, and 4 new villains! Just a heads up, i wouldn’t trust the inventor.

Alex: MIND. BLOWN!!!!!

Meanwhile at Wal-Mart…

*Walter and Gus are setting up a machine that takes skylanders and melts them. it’s actually just a crayola melt and mold.*

Walter: So when do we meet your friends?

Gus: soon. i’ll call them up.

Walter: i found this guy at the doors. he shall be tested on..

*Walter holds up a cobra cadabra.*

Gus: i know that guy. Pungi! I told you not to leave the box!


*Pungi plays his flute instead of talking. he does this.*

Walter: Hey, this guy might be cool. he’s a cobra!

Gus: who cannot talk. his mouth is bonded to his flute.

Walter: Eh. i’ll spare him. we have plenty of Gill grunts.

*Walter throws Pungi out the window. Pungi hops awkwardly to target.*

- - -

Notes-

We get introduced to some new people. I think we're all gonna like Pungi, while he lasts.

I'll add him to the first page soon.

Chapter double post GO!

- - -

*in target..*

Zap: *with mouth full of popcorn* So… what happens now?

Alex: We just hide in the back when morning comes.

Apollo: Until then, shall we go eat more of this popping corn?

Hellboy: Yeah, this is good.

*Pungi hops in, and plays his flute loudly and high pitched.*

Hellboy: Snake….Snake? SNAAAAAAAAKE?

Elinor: calm down, it’s just Pungi. he made the mistake of going into walmart.

*Pungi plays his flute more.*

Elinor: i see. he says that he almost died.

*Pungi plays more of his flute.*

Elinor: *gasp* WALTER!?

*pungi keeps playing*

Elinor: that greedy fool! he’s going to kill them all!


Zap: say what!?

Elinor: walmart is no longer selling skylanders! so this man, walter, is going to melt them all and get a raise.

Apeman: Well let’s go kill him!


Elinor: be calm! we can’t go in ow, we have to make a plan..

Alex: that’s where i come in!

Hellboy: and you’d be stupid to go in there without ME.

Apeman: and me..

Dewie: and me. i’ve come up with a healing potion.

Zap: we leave tonight.

Stubby: let me come.

(meanwhile, at wal-mart)

*Coreova storms through the door. digit and figit grab onto gus.*

Coreova: anybody seen Apollo?

Gus: Who’s that? but hey, it’m me, GUS!


Coreova: Oh. Boys, let him go.

*The hands scurry off. Coreova hold her sword to walter’s neck.*

Coreova: So, i’ve heard you want to kill skylanders. well if you find Apollo, i’ll give you $100! and any of his friends are $10 EACH! Deal?

Walter: DEAL! but who is Apollo?

Coreova: He’s a knight light, but look for a black mark on his back.

Walter: so what’s great about you, My little pony?

Coreova: Can your friends do THIS!?

*Coreova grabs a random gusto, and blows a battle horn into his face. Gusto falls to the ground.*

Walter: I’ve never had a friend that can do that. or a friend at all!

Coreova: join us, and you can be powerful beyond your wildest dreams!

Walter: I’M IN!

Gus: HAIL THE SHROOMINATI!

*digit and figit hi-five.*

*Stubby drops from the window, and falls onto walter’s head.*
Zap: (from the window) I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO YET! YOU’RE GONNA DIE!

Hellboy: oh well! (Hellboy drops down.)

Zap: *Facepalm*

Coreova: GET THOSE TWO! THEY’RE FRIENDS OF APOLLO!


*Digit and figit grab stubby and drag her off. One grabbed her dress and dragged her by it, and the other choked her. Walter ran around to grab Hellboy. Dewie dropes from the window, and onto walter’s bald head. Walter grabs Dewie.*

Zap: NOOOO!!!

Hellboy: Eat Cannon!

*Hellboy hits Coreova upside the head with his cannon. Coreova shakes her head and hits Hellboy in the face with her horse legs. Hellboy uppercuts Coreova, but coreova Ducks and Jabs him in the nads with her sword. She then blows the battle horn in his face, and Hellboy Falls. Hellboy is Dragged off by Gus. Dewie is taken to the same place as the other prisoners by walter.*

Coreova: Surrender if you ever want to see them again!


Zap: i’d rather see them as CRAYONS then surrender!


Coreova: Okay.

Elinor: REALLY!?

*Pungi plays “wap wap waaaap” on his flute.*

Carl: Let’s get out of here!

*The group runs back to target.*

Alex: how did it go?

Elinor: well Hellboy, Stubby, and Dewie are gonna be in the next Crayola 48 color megapack!

Alex: WHAT!?

Elinor: we managed to rescue no skylanders.
Alex: well we better make ANOTHER plan to rescue them before Hellboy is turned into “Hellboy Crimson!”

Pokey: Hey guys, a gamestop is opening here tomorrow!

Zap: maybe we can get some help there… we need someone Fast, Stealthy, AND POWERFUL!

Elinor: i think i know the girl you’re looking for… and no, it’s not me.

- - -

Notes-

That gamestop is gonna be pretty important towards the end.

Hmmmm, will it last?

Nice chapters, but I think everyone is a little too focused on this story's longevity. Show them wrong, and make it as great as BBB was two years ago.

CH4 is coming soon.

It won't last...

you don't know that.

*In the back rooms of walmart…*

Coreova: you shouldn’t have messed with us.

Gus: now you melt, dewie.

Dewie: Oh come on!

*suddenly, a dragon pounces on coreova. she whacks him off, but then he snaps her pony-tail off, and rushes past her. he Presses a button, freeing Hellboy. But Dewie and Stubbs are melted. Then he reveals himself- A high five with his mask painted Sparkly black.*

Coreova: who are you..!?


????: My name is… Um… My name is Actually Peter, but you can call me..

*The high five flies upwards, and swings on a light rops for fun.*

????: Buzz Kill! yeah, that’s it. I AM BUZZ-KILL!

*Buzz-Kill flies out.*

Gus: who was that?

Coreova: Some vigilanti kid..

*at target*

*hellboy runs in the door.*

Hellboy: I’m alive.. but i saw someone. Sove vigilanti kid… He was a high five..

Elinor: that guy? he’s a nut-job..

Alex: yeah, Buzz-Kill is some crazy weirdo hero.

Zap: maybe we could use him….

Alex: he’s more of a lone wolf.

Hot Dog: but he’s a fly..

Alex: *sigh* It’s a figure of speech, dang it…
Zap: we have to rescue dewie and stubby!


Hellboy: they melted.

????: WHAT!?

(a Hijinx enters the room.)

?????: that was my MOTHER!


Alex: Oh god, i forgot! Lucy, CALM DOWN!

(The hijinx is lucy, Stubby’s daughter.)

Lucy: *in demon voice* WE MUST AVENGE STUBBY.

*buzz-kill crashes through the window, and slams on the ground. a weeruptor rides on his back.*

Buzz-Kill: It is i, the great buzz-kill! and Mario. Say hi mario.

*Mario, the weeruptor, waves hi.*

Buzz-Kill: i hear we need some avenging. I LOVE AVENGING!

*Pungi plays his flute.*

Buzz-Kill: i have no idea what that was!


*Pungi squints.*

Buzz-Kill: well, me and mario are going to help avenge the dead people. Anyone else with me?

Lucy: *demon voice* I SHALL JOIN YOU ON YOUR QUEST.

Zap: we’ll fight on our own.

Alex: my calculations say you have a 98.7 percent chance of dying.

Buzz-Kill: well when we come back alive, you’ll all eat your HATS!!

*Buzz kill and the minis fly off. Pungi plays his flute.*
Hellboy: we might as well go, kid’s gonna get himself killed.

Zap: Now what do we do?

Alex: You guys don’t understand… Anyone who enters walmart will die.

Zap: me and Hellboy will risk it.

Hellboy: I’M THAT MANLY!

Alex: if you guys are going in, i’ll come.

*the three go into wal-mart.*

Alex: Be quiet, If coreova sees us, we’re dead.

Hellboy: if you see any suspicious characters, kill them with no mercy.

*they enter the melting room, and the door closes behind them. A flute blow is heard.*

Hellboy: oh crap they have pungi!

Coreova: Pungi has YOU.

*coreova and pungi walk out. Gus grabs Zap and pins him to the wall.*

Gus: you thought you could trust that guy!?

*Pungi plays “Sure Shot” on his flute.*

Gus: you see, Pungi is a spy. he may not speak, but dang he can give intel. He types 90 words per 0.5 seconds!

Zap: how could you Pungi!?

*Pungi shrugs, and plays more of ”Sure Shot”. he pints to Buzz-Kill, Mario, and Lucy on the wall, about to die.*

Buzz-Kill: hey guys… about that avenging...heh.

Hellboy: What now, flute man?

Gus: You will all be melted.

notes:

Le gasp!

Time for the writer side of me to come out:

I think you are rushing the story a bit. There seems to be a lot going on, but not enough details, which makes it hard to follow for me (and possibly others). Slow down, take your time, and focus on the plot. Following that will help later on.

thanks for the advice.

Pungi you traitorous snake!

Pungi, that bastard.

The next chapter of After Hours will come in 2015. I need to think about where to go in the plot now.

Chapter 5 coming soon! There will be an epic fight, and an epic song.

*Gus turns on the melting Machine. Lowers Buzz-Kill into the machine, but not all the way.*

Buzz-Kill: Why are you doing this!?

Gus: you see, i was never wanted. I was always overshadowed by...everyone! Even that idiot Ghost Roaster managed to get love! But come swap force, i was a NOBODY! But now.. i have a way to get rid of everyone! But no… I will do something worse...I’ll CONTROL everyone! I have a weapon… The Portal Gauntlet.. Once i equip it, i become the master of everyone wearing a mushcap! but i just need to weaken the plastic to be the controller. Once everyone guys mushcapped skylanders, i’ll make them attack randomly, And then the owners will leave them and come to Me! Because the shroominati will be the only ones left… AFTER I HIT THE SELF DESTRUCT BUTTON, AND KILL EVERYONE WEARING A MUSHCAP! HAHAHAHA!

*Buzz-Kill is dropped in a melter, and Gus pulls the switch.*

Gus: in one minute, i will be able to Control you…

Buzz-Kill: NO!!!

Gus: too late, kid...

*One minute passes. gus drags buzz-kill out to another room.*

Alex: why would you do this!?

Gus: i just told you in words, so now i’ll sing it!


(get out your microphones people, this is gonna be big!)



(a bar piano beat kicks in.)

You seem to forget, the silly humans
about the Little one,
Oh snap, I’VE i’ve got the power,
So now i have my fun!


You forgot me
you hated me
you rejected me
so now,
I am the common enemy!

You abandoned me
you left me
you mocked me
so now,
you’ll all be green with envy!


Because i’ll make sure
you never find the cure
for my disease
(ooh wa ooh wa)

So now i’ll be the herder
of this murder
bring you all to your knees
(ooh wa ooh wa)

So now you all bow down to me! HA!

Now i take back
now i fight back
now i write back
with a load of Payback!


Now i strike back
now i write the track
i’m on the attack!


So run this through your head
before you’re all deeeaaaad!

I’m taking revenge
for being underestimated!


(do do do, do do do do do do)

C’mon, sing!

(tiny, squeaky voices sing this next part)

Yeah he’s taking revenge
for being underestimated,
you all wind up dying,
it’s not complicated
You’ll never get to kiss a hottie,
you’ll be killed by the shroominati,
He’s taking revenge
for being underestimated!


(gus sings this next part)

When you all crumble,
i’ll cause the rumble,
because i’m the one who makes the trouble
Your bad situation is bass, no treble!
No point in being a rebel
when you’re nothing but a pawn
and your life is gone!


HA HA HA HA HA!




Gus: let the murder begin!


*random overstock skylanders are equipped with the Mushcap, and thrown into packaging.*

Walter: this wasn’t part of the plan! we were supposed to get rid of them, not make something new!

Gus: figit, digit!


*figit and digit plug a mushcap onto walter.*

Gus: now let’s heat em’ up the plastic and send these suckers EVERYWHERE!

*Mario the weeruptor jumps on gus and attempts to punch him. Gus holds him off with is hand.*

Gus: cute. Get him in the sweatshop.

*Two gustos drag Mario into a mushcap factory in the other parts of the Back.*
Alex: I have to do something.

*alex uses his psi powers to break the chains on him.*

Alex: Remember me as alex… Alex From Target.

*Alex runs to Gus, and is grabbed by walter.*

Gus: Cap him. His brain will be mine.

*Gus puts on a shroomboom sized gauntlet made of a circut board and rfid antenna.*

*Zap shakes out of his chains and runs away. Hellboy is capped.*

_

Back at target…

Hot Dog: Got any tens?

Elinor: We’re playing cards against humanity, not go fish.

Hot Dog: oh.

*zap rushes in*

Zap: Gus has gone mad! he’s making everyone evil! He got hellboy and alex!

Apollo: did you see coreova?

Zap: no… but i wouldn’t be surprised if he backstabbed her. He have to destroy his power gauntlet! But first… we’re gonna need an upgrade.

Hot Dog: we’re all broke and persephone isn’t here.

Zap: I mean… we get super.

Notes: A song! also... Gus must be on shrooms.

No you're not!
