Chapter 20: Nuclear Power Plant

Lupin III, Homer, Sailor Venus, Deedlit and Pikachu were sent to the Nuclear Power Plant, as they all came out of the portal that the SCP made to send them on their mission. Seeing how the Power Plant have high security for obvious reasons, Lupin III said that they will have to sneak through the vents, or if not maybe even through the sewers. They gone with the sewer route, and they would eventually go into the hallways of the plant. Already Deedlit was complaining about the fact that they went that route, Pikachu said he hated it just as much, but it's better than getting caught. The Master Thief says that they should go with the plan as they discussed. The five went through the area, as Lupin III then reminded everyone that their mission is to look for Shaggy’s Shirt, which Mr. Burns is guarding his secret vault at his office. He told everyone the plan quickly, to get a fresh reminder for everyone, which fortunately he does not have to do again with a certain person. Deedlit went through first, as all the Power Plant employees are just now mindless zombies, under the evil businessman's influence. She used her shaman magic, arrows and her rapier to kill them off, as they ran away, giving Pikachu the chance to light up a certain area that Burn left off in order to save money and Shadow Bugs. Homer meanwhile went to Sector 7-G, kicked his replacement zombie and started to mess up the controls around the security. Sailor Venus saw the signal, as she used her Crescent Beam attack to brighten up the lights, blinding all the zombie employees, and even members of the Subspace Army in there was affected. Lupin III meanwhile was already at the safe, cracking the code. Once he managed to open it up, he found Mr. Burn’s collection of rare artifacts, and Shaggy’s Shirt was in there. The Master Thief grabbed it, and told everyone to meet up at the vault entrance through speaker phones he made ahead of time.

Once the whole team got there, Deedlit complained about the plant, and the fact that it destroys the wildlife and nature around it, from the fact that the fish has three eyes really disturbed her. She would like to dismantle it, although Homer said it’s normal that things are like that, and the elf started to remind a bit of Lisa, making sad. Pikachu stated it’s not the time to argue, as they should get out, since they got what they came for, as the Mouse does not want to get captured again. Once they were about to get out, heading through Mr. Burn’s office to jump out the window, as that was the only way to escape without coming into contact with security. Smithers suddenly came out of nowhere and snatched the shirt of Shaggy right out of Homer’s hand, as he staked through the area. Smithers would laugh, as he said that the thieves will be punished for their transactions against the mighty Mr. Burns, as he can't allow for the Corruption to stop. Sailor Venus said in response what he did was unforgivable, especially for the mind alteration of the people of Springfield. Smithers said he doesn't care about the Sailor Senshi's opinion, as he states that he only serves Mr. Burns and his ambitions. He gave the shirt to Mr. Burns, who was right there in his chair the whole time, as he turned around. The evil C.E.O. told Smithers that his job is done, and he may take the rest of the day off. Smithers slides to the entrance, in which he exits, then the zombie employees and some Subspace Army goons come out.

Mr. Burns laughed at the five for their futile attempts, as he said that his masters Rhea and Tabuu have already taken over 90% of everything that has ever existed within the multiverse. Pikachu spoke its own name like always, asking why Burns would sell out his own reality to two evil people. Burns explained that one day, as he was in his office, upset with all the lazy workers he has, he wanted to do something. So he hired scientists that did experiments to research on connecting to other worlds to get more competent workers. However, he got Rhea, the archbishop, to come in instead through the portal. Burns was confused and yet angry that he did not get the results he wanted, with an anime woman rather than a motivated worker. That is until Rhea said that she can help him out with his problem about slackers. They talked, and they made a deal that Mr. Burns can be the absolute evil ruler of his world, that he can corrupt the denizens into loyal servants with the Shadow Bugs, and that the Subspace Army will protect his rule as long as he stays loyal to them. Mr. Burns agreed, as he wanted power over his world, as he signed the deal, explaining why the world is the way that it is. He even said the other villains were also given the same contract too even. Sailor Venus stood up to the old man, calling him a traitor, and Deedlit followed through, and stated not just on the environment, but that he’s willing to do mind alteration on the townspeople is beyond unforgivable. Pikachu has electricity coming from his red cheeks. However, Mr. Burns did not care about their opinions, then Homer got really angry about the fact that he lost his family and some of his friends ever since Mr. Burns made that deal with the Subspace Army, and in reaction to this, Homer with murderous rage ran up to Mr. Burns and tries to punch, only for him to get knocked back by a forcefield.

Mr. Burns laughed at this, calling Homer the worst employee he ever had, to reveal that he’s in a robot suit the whole time, and his desk is an illusion made with high technology. The five now have to fight against Mr. Burn in a giant robot, as the five have no choice but to fight to recover Shaggy’s shirt. The five successfully defeat Mr. Burns, as they all destroyed his robot, as it broke down. Pikachu used his Quick Attack to leap and grab the shirt of Shaggy Rogers with his mouth. Mr. Burns was now furious at this turn of events. He then attempts to request for backup, which fortunately for him came right on time. The five were surrounded by the exit, and they can’t even kill Mr. Burns, despite his physical weakness. The C.E.O. laughed once again as he said that all of Tabuu’s subordinates are protected with eternal immortality for their “hard work”, as the businessman puts it.

As a result, the 5 had to jump out the window past Mr. Burn’s desk, as with their original plan. They shattered the windows, and everyone except Homer made perfect landings on their feet. The power plant zombie employees and the Subspace Army came out the front, as Lupin III knew that they had to run, and told everyone to had to the exit as fast as possible. As the five were doing so, across the parking lot, but they would get surrounded from the entrance by the corrupted townsfolk. Then Deedlit's group had to surrender, as there was no choice. Mr. Burns came along in his Robot Suit as he told the five that he would let them go, but only on two conditions, they must let go of both Pikachu and Sailor Venus. He said that he would like to use the Pokemon as a power supply, but knew he had to give him “back” to Team Galactic. Then he talked about returning Sailor Venus to Berthier, as he knew that if he brought someone who is cured of the corruption, he could gain more power out of that deal.

Of course both the Senshi and the Mouse did not like that, Deedlit was especially mad, as she knew the stories of what those two gone through, throwing a Will o' Wisp spell that of course did nothing in response to her friends. Lupin III refused to hand them over, saying that they are his new friends whom he now has connections with, and especially on the Senshi, due to his nature of protecting women. Mr. Burns laughed at this remark, as he decided to have everyone destroy them and capture the two, until suddenly, Moleman was driving along, getting out in order to report to his daily routine of endless work at the Power Plant. Homer saw him, as he shouted that Moleman likes Doughnuts. Devil Flanders saw that Moleman had a box of donuts with him, with plans to have as his breakfast. Then the evil townsfolk turned to get him, along with the zombies. Mr. Burns was upset as he yelled at them to get the five members, as then Deedlit threw the portal balls, this time setting a destination to “Battlefield”. Everyone jumped in right away, as Mr. Burns saw that he was too late. He reacted in rage, as this happened, and that one of his slaves was beaten to death. Burns decided that he should take a 2 day vacation, to then find a way to get Shaggy’s shirt back, but he did manage to put a tracking device on Homer ahead of time during the battle, as he would then call another villain, and states that he may have a key towards getting into the Infinite Ikea, and finding the SCP Foundation base.

The five all ended up on a stone platform with 3 smaller ones floating above. There was a road on the main platform, along with a garden, in the middle of a mountain range. The 4 platforms were in the middle of a mountain range that seemed to have some sea near it. Deedlit sensed that there seemed to be life, but they can’t seem to get off Battlefield, as the platforms seemed to be in place, and the place is too high. Sailor Venus was already bored, as there were no hot boys to chase around, and she missed Link. But with her aware that he is annoyed, she though about making him jealous with Mega Man X, as Deedlit sighed about this, as she told the Senshi that she is not sure that love works that way. Homer and Pikachu were already playing with each other on the Battlefield, by playing tag together, as the nuclear technician chase the Pokemon. Lupin and Deedlit knew that they need to wait for the other two groups before they head out, as that was the agreement, although they would all later play cards to pass the time.
