The Emperor's New Brain - Chapter 8

Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut! Llamas and mice not allowed.

But when Brain and Pinky track down Kuzco to the restaurant, and Yzma and Kronk show up at the same time, dinner service turns into a disaster waiting to happen. Everyone's looking for Kuzco—while trying not to be found themselves.

Excerpt below:

Yzma glared at Brain. "You seem to be the smart one. Even if you couldn't brew a working poison." Brain straightened. "On the contrary, I possess an empirical knowledge of alchemy. The failure lies entirely with a mislabeled ingredient." Yzma arched her brow. "Ah yes. A little mix-up with extract of llama, perhaps?" Brain hesitated a moment too long. Yzma smirked. "I thought so. I saw the signs of tampering in my laboratory." "The poison was made exactly to specification," Brain sniffed. "Thanks to meticulous documentation and proper note-taking." "Oh yes, thorough notes are very important," Yzma agreed. "You can't achieve consistent results without—" She stopped. Her expression twisted. "Why am I talking to you instead of squishing you?" "Oh! Oh! I know!" Kronk raised his hand enthusiastically. Yzma groaned. "Kronk, this is not—" "It's because if everything goes sidewise, you've got a scapegoat!" Kronk continued. Yzma opened her mouth to object… and then paused. Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Fine!" she growled.

"If this were an after-school special, ooh, you'd pay a bittersweet price for your little deceit, like getting big oily zits! Or eating off the same plate as David Lee Roth!"

Lieutenant King just wants to read the comics. Why do you keep bothering him, Huntsman?

[freaks-mice-villains]

I've been rewatching The Emperor's New Groove (again) and something struck me. After the diner, Pacha and Kuzco argue because Kuzco wants to go talk to Yzma for help, even after Pacha told him Yzma wants to kill him.

And yet, the next morning, Pacha is supposedly just chilling out with some llamas as if nothing happened.

Oh no. That man did not sleep all night.

This is a man that was up all night long, running around through the jungle in the rain and dark, trying to find Kuzco.

Think about it.

Pacha ended the argument with Kuzco by telling him to go after somebody that Pacha knew wanted Kuzco dead. He's not just going to stand around. That's not the sort of person he is. Once Pacha calms down, he's going to turn around and try to find Yzma and Kronk. He'll track them down with every skill he has, worried the whole time he's going to come across a dead llama in the road.

When he finally finds Yzma and Kronk, there's no sign of Kuzco. And maybe he overhears that they're still searching. Now Pacha hurries back to the diner, looking for signs of Kuzco instead of Kronk's heavy footprints.

It's dark. It's raining. Pacha eventually finds his hat and poncho that Kuzco walked off with, still in his disguise from the diner.

But there's no sign of Kuzco.

As morning comes, running out of options, Pacha sits in a field, not sure what else he can do. Except talk to the llamas around him. He's talked to llamas before back in his village, although it wasn't until Kuzco that they started talking back.

Then he sees Kuzco. He's immediately relieved, but doesn't call out. He's not sure what Kuzco has been through, or what the emperor is thinking. So he just starts talking to the llamas about Kuzco.

"You know, call me crazy for following this guy all the way out here, but as much as he tries to deny it, I know there's some good in him."

Pinky, Freakazoid, and the Brain - Chapter 8

The epic conclusion to the battle for Acme Labs!

Brain has mostly rebuilt his old Supervillain Suit, Freakazoid has returned from the Internet, and Lord Bravery and the Huntsman have arrived by taxi to join the fray. Together, the heroes face off against a full roster of Freakazoid's most notorious villains in an all-out battle.

But as the villains close in, one question looms large: will this be the heroes' finest hour—or their last stand?

Excerpt below:

Arms Akimbo staggered through the doorway, dripping lime-green Jell-O with every step. His dapper suit was still half-encased in gelatin, and his face had taken on the same queasy hue. "Stop complaining," he groaned. "I had to eat my way out." He burped once—wetly—and everyone instinctively took a step back. There was a long, dreadful pause as the three new villains entered, the lab suddenly feeling a lot smaller. Freakazoid glanced around, eyes darting between the snake woman to the Jell-O-covered man to the half-man half-steer still covered in a layer of frost. "Okay," he said slowly, "this feels like the part where everything starts going really badly." "Correction," Brain muttered. "It already has." Meanwhile, Major Danger gave a muffled grunt and flexed against the duct tape cocoon still wrapped around him. With an impressive twist and a dramatic cry of "FOR THE EMPIRE!" he burst free in a spray of gray adhesive. Dexter watched the number of villains grow. "Freakazoid, I don't like these odds." Freakazoid groaned. "I know! It's Admiral Hazard again! I mean, seriously?!" "Major Danger!" the villain snapped, lunging toward him. "Why is this so hard?!" Pinky peeked around Brain's supersuit ankles at the Cobra Queen's large snake. "You wouldn't happen to be a vegetarian, would you?" The snake hissed and lunged. Pinky squeaked and ran for his life. "I'll take that as a no!" he called over his shoulder.

Marry me.

This makes me want to claw my own face off and eat it, but like, in a good way.

You’re clearly delusional but I’m into it.

As we speak a tattoo artist is inking your words onto my lower back so they will be a part of me forever. The pain is excruciating.

That is so sweet that I just had three successive panic attacks over the idea of trying to fulfill your hypothetical expectations.

Through your kind remarks, I have ascended to a higher plane of existence; lacking corporeal form I will sadly be unable to finish the story in this medium but will attempt to beam the remaining plot directly into your dreams through a series of dire portents symbologists will take decades to fully decipher

The Emperor's New Brain - Chapter 7

Brain needs to get back to the palace to stop Yzma.

He fortunately has a chance to reclaim the throne thanks to Pinky's parting proclamation that Kuzco's successor will be "Look Out!" Even if nobody knows who that is. Now all Brain needs is the perfect life-sized puppet stand-in: a humble, salt-of-the-earth peasant who seems oddly familiar.

But will it be enough to fool Yzma?

Excerpt below:

Yzma narrowed her eyes. "So, where is the real Kuzco? Who was that little rodent? And more importantly—" she shoved the puppet head behind her back and turned to a nearby functionary with a snarl "—why does everyone think someone named 'Look Out' is now in charge?!" The official blinked and cleared his throat nervously. "Well, ma'am, the emperor's final proclamation before the unfortunate… masonry incident… was, quote, 'The one, the only—Look out!' So we're searching every census record for a 'Look Out' born within the capital jurisdiction and adjacent provinces. Possibly hyphenated." Yzma's eyelid twitched. "You think his chosen heir is named Look. Out." "We were wondering if it's short for something. Like… Lookoutta." Kronk offered helpfully, "Or maybe it's an anagram. Ootluko. Sounds Incan." Yzma took a long, deep breath. "Until we find this… Lookoutta… Ootluko… whoever! I am in charge. Do you hear me?" she snapped. The functionary nodded hurriedly. "Of course! Until 'Look Out' steps forward to claim the throne, as the former advisor to the emperor, you will, of course, be steward in the meantime." "Former advisor?" Yzma growled through clenched teeth. Kronk leaned over. "Should we get new business cards made?" The official cleared his throat. "I meant the advisor who recently returned from an unexpected vacation, of course!" Kronk frowned. "I don't think that'll fit on a business card."
