===Opening===
[Somewhere, in the outer space, a fast zoom happens upon our eyes, transporting us to nowhere else than the solar system, slowly orbiting]
You know? In all my years as an omniscient narrator in many different TV shows, I can’t help but notice the number of times an animated show repeats certain patterns. 
Nonetheless, for this show, I had never seen anything like this, and I’m 4-digits-old already.
Anyway, let’s move on. We’re located on the Earth. I know for a fact it’s the Earth, as I know everything that’ll happen in this work.
Somebody: (Talks in a voice-over) He’s totes right, y’know? I got the scripts, so now I do as well.
Shut the heck up! You’ve ruined the whole fun! I hope you’re happy…
Where were we…? Oh, right! We are at the Earth, early 2018, simpler times. For some aliens with inverted calendars, the year 8102. In fact, this Earth is almost identical to yours’, only with slight differences that somehow allowed outer-dimensional trips, a universal understanding of what the kilometer is, and many other unnecessary changes…
So, enough changes to make this show fit into a Sci-Fi category…
Okay, I won’t lie to you, the absolute Sci-Fi lies within the outer spaces, there’s still misunderstandings about what a kilometer is. We actually take over 21 episodes to make a shift into a more Sci-Fi-ish terrain.
[There’s a closer plane of the Earth, and fast enough it leads to a specific house. Shaped like the typical American animation’s houses, with a fairly decent garage besides it. It was a cream-colored house, with white-bordered windows, and a purple-ish roof]
At the Earth, about now ago, there live a certain female child. She’s 9, 10, or so, but she’s big enough to pass for a 14-years old. A baby-faced one, but passes as a 14 one. I think she’s also brutally powerful or something. I’m not sorry for trying to keep your attention in this episode.
Female child’s voice: (From the home itself, lazily) Come on, granny, I as watching South Park!
Older female voice (Chill) You can record your programs, dummy! You can watch it later!
Child voice: (Realizes it) Yikes, I forgot…
Older female voice: (Juvenile) So, you’ll buy the stuff we need?
Child Voice: (Sighs) All right, all right.…
[Then, in an even closer plane, we could see a tall-ish girl coming outside. Despite her height, she looked normal otherwise. She had a long, black hair, which reached a bit further than her back arms. She also had a red headband, as well as a hairpin for each side, being the right one blue and the left one red. Her clothes consisted of a simple white T-shirt, which combined awkwardly with her skirt, being one side red, and the other side purple. Her socks were long enough to be seen, and were red as well, and her footwear consisted of simple small black boots. She seemed particularly bored]
[Suddenly, a paper plane almost as big as her landed onto her hair, and she picked it up to read it.]
Child: (Reads) “Haiii, I’m Betsy and I’m 9, almost 10. I’m also the main character of the show you’re watching. Right now, I’m heading to buy bread, and break… the fourth wall…”
[Suddenly, said paper started to laugh, as Betsy’s face shifted into the sheer dissapointment and fury, colliding one with other]
Betsy: (Angry, as she learned what’s going on) CRAIG! 
[Said paper, somehow, unbends itself until becoming a person. Said person had the shape of a totally white scribble of a boy. His so-called clothes were outlines that resembled a shirt and pants, both white as well. His head was also shaped to have a spiky haircut, and his face was drawn in such a way that reminded of those critters called “South Park characters”. Both kids were more-or-less the same height, although Craig was, obviously, way flatter and lighter]
Betsy: (Looking at the person) Lord-dangit, Craig! Why do you insist so much for I to SOCIALIZE with the audience?! Remember the last time you dragged me onto a party! I frickin’ passed out!
Craig: (Still laughing) C’mon, admit it! This introduction to an audience that is watching a surreal comedy has grown on you!
Betsy: (Smiles, in a mischievous way) Y’know, “son”? The thing they’ll grow on them Will be your constant slapstick humor situations where you’ll suffer them.
Craig: (Scared, to Betsy) Mama, did you check the scripts?
Betsy: Yes, my dear.
Betsy: Now, get yo butt home, or be my spokesman at the supermarket.
Craig: (Annoyed, as he joins Betsy) Dang it, Betsy! You need to get over that social anxiety! 
Betsy: (Annoyed, as she walks with Craig) Maybe, hadn’t it been so bad I’d have solved it, y’know?!
Craig: (To Betsy) Ok, we should stop it, they’ll take us for grumpy old-timers.
-Episode’s opening
===Course===
[Time has passed, and now, both characters are walking on the streets, right in the center of the city. They had approached a plaza with an enormous font, and several benches, close to the main road]
Craig: (Tired) Despite this bread being cheap and nice, that place is hella long!
[Suddenly, to everybody’s surprise, a dog was unleashed, and came to cause terrific destruction acts… As destructive as a Chihuahua can actually be]
[Betsy’s face paled instantly, adopting a comical panic expression, as if she had seen the apocalypse and faced it. Her pupils were long gone, as if she had, somehow, become an anime character. It is said she was on the verge of collapsing]
Betsy: (Fears for her life) I’m outta here!
[Betsy jumps into the road, at the same time a big truck approaches, about to hit the poor little girl, unaware of the vehicle which will soon impact her. Meanwhile, Craig’s face morphs into a horrified one, in such a way that he ended up mimicking that famous picture, “The Scream”]
Craig: Oh, egads! The child’s gonna die!
[Craig “sacrifices” himself to avoid Betsy from getting hurt, so he, in an extremely exaggerated slow-motion, steps in and pushes her to the other side of the road. Nonetheless, the truck hits Craig, and the slow-motion ends. Craig, as a paper lifeform, ends up stuck in the truck’s front-end, as the wind makes his body wiggle every now and then]
Betsy: (Thinks) Dummy Craig, he knew that truck would have done nothing to me because of my unjustified Obelix-Popeye-level strength. 
[Without any warning, a couple of orange portals appear, in such a position that the truck goes through them in a seemingly never-ending loop, but with one of them mid-air, and the other one on the ground]
Betsy: (Thinks) Welp, I had to do something to avoid derailing from my way, and I’d rather do this than run to the Antarctica or wherever.
[Betsy uses an astonishing speed to get under the truck before it goes through the ground portal again, and prepares a devastating punch, which sends the now-exploding vehicle flying, while Craig manages to escape, although with a couple of burns. Fortunately, there was nobody inside the truck, and the only thing that came out was an automatic pilot device with a parachute]
Craig: (Stunned) I know it’s been the 10th time, but that’s still baffling me!
Betsy: (Laughs) I am your surrogate mom, Craig. You thought I’d let a stinky truck like that take you on an Atlanta trip?
Craig: Wait, Atlanta?
Betsy: (Jokes) Yuh, y’know, Craig. Homeland of the “Atlanteans”, those strange individuals somewhere in North America, ruled by a duck named Donald or so.
Craig: (Doesn’t realize the puns) Don’t you mean Donald Trump?
Just as a side note. Remember this show actually happens in 2018, when Trump was still the US president
Betsy: (Still joking) Well, they’re like versions from parallel dimensions or something, look!
[Betsy pulls out a bizarre image, where in the left side, Donald duck’s face is normal, but the right side shows it backwards. Somehow, after several flips, she makes it look like the face of Donald Trump]
Craig: You forgot that the Donald that exists is Trump, not the duck.
Betsy: (Annoyed) Darn it, Craig! Can’t follow a simple joke, can you?
Craig: (To Betsy, reveals the truth) I knew, but I just tried to make sure that, if Trump somehow watched this, doesn’t take it personally! Let it be, girl! We can make social satires in any other episode!
Betsy: (Moody) Party-pooper…
Craig: Anyway, shall we buy that bread?
Betsy: (Smiles) “Yupyup”!
[Time passes by once again, and both kids, having bought what they needed, were heading home once again, and got to the same plaza from before. Suddenly, a big, black helicopter almost falls on Craig, and gets fatally crushed, leaving Craig jumpscared for the rest of his life]
Craig: (Done with life) Why must I be the slapstick humor character? I’m only 11…
Betsy: (Mocking, to Craig) You know about our fiction lives, why don’t you investigate?
Craig: It doesn’t help me.
Betsy: (Looks at the helicopter) Let’s see, who would take down a helicopter at 11 a.m.?
Craig: Could be either a Grand Theft Auto player, or… 
[Suddenly, the background becomes a red gradient, and Craig’s face receives a dramatical focus. Somehow, he had got a Brown detective hat with him]
Craig: Duke
Betsy: (Doubts) ¿Duke Nukem or OUR Duke?
Craig: (Dramatically) OUR DUKE.
[The scene turns back to normal, and now both kids are questioning the whole situation again]
Betsy: Y’know, Craig? Ever since that argument about One Piece, he’s been obsessed with tearing us apart.
Craig: Could it be that Anime hooligans are a thing?
Explanation in case someone doesn’t know: Hooligans are those kinds of ultra-aggressive fans of anything that will make Peaky Blinders look like a pre-school show if you disagree with them.
Betsy: (Serious) There’re hooligans everywhere, Craig. Specially when coming to a BIG Fandom. Believe me, dude, my granny may be old, but she knows her stuff when it comes to internet and games.
Betsy: (Notices she distracted herself) Shoot, we won’t stop distracting!
Craig: Well, that’s a fact.
Betsy: Anyway, if I’m right, judging by the time, Duke is about to make an absurd, cliché apparition.
[Suddenly, another helicopter of the same color appears, although this time it doesn’t fall off, and a strong, masculine evil laugh can be heard. There was a man with a top hat, a black suit with a red tie and a white shirt, and a small brown dot on the top hat. The man was somewhat tall, and his skin color was not dark, but definitely duller compared to the children]
Bad guy: (Feeling the Main character syndrome) Saludos, little pests!
Betsy: (Jokes) Oi, look! “Il plagio di plagio” of Eggman’s ways! Weeb Duke!
Duke: (Annoyed) Damn it, kid! I did not copy Dr. Eggman! My name is just Duke! And I’m not one of those “weebs”!
Craig: (To Duke) Yea, of course, but, though you won’t admit it, you’re a total weeaboo, soy you’re “Weeb Duke”
Duke: (Grunts) You cursed brats… This is why all forums should be age-restricted…
Betsy: Ogey, Duke. Tell us your hysteric plan for today.
Duke: (Confident) Today, my plan is to end you, girl!
[Duke pulls out a rectangular remote with a red button and an extensible antenna, which makes a xenomorph alien-shaped robot come out, and aggressively runs towards Betsy]
Betsy: (Sighs) Really? An “Alien” parody?
[Betsy splits the robot in halves by a simple karate chop, leaving a pool of oil on the ground. She ultimately got onto Duke’s helicopter]
Craig: (To Duke, confused) I’ll never understand how you’re so talented with engineering, yet you can’t think anything to give us a decent challenge.
Duke: (Corrects Craig) To give BETSY a Challenge. You’re just an oreo filling.
Craig: (Towards the audience) I swear to God, you better not be going like “Oooooh”!
Duke: (Is unaware of the fourth wall, confused) Who’re you talkin’ to?
Craig: (Rude) To yo mama.
[Suddenly, an absurdly loud scream, which referenced that one song that went “Yeaaaaaaaaaah!” came out from what happened to be Betsy’s smartphone]
Betsy: (Nervous laugh) S-Sorry, it was my phone…
[Betsy pulls out her smartphone, old even for 2018’s standards, with no case, tiny, and black. She quickly answered the call, which was from no other than Betsy’s granny]
Grandma’s voice: Betsy, where the flip-flops are you? South Park just ended two episodes in a row!
Betsy: Whoa, Grandma Yui! Sorry, we just came across Duke, and he kinda blocked our way, hehe…
Yui’s voice: (Impatient) C’mon, Betsy! You’ll end up too hungry if you’re later!
Betsy: I literally told you that Duke won’t let me through!
Betsy: (To Duke) Duke, please, explain to her why I’m getting late!
[Betsy activates the speakers in the middle of the call, so the conversation can be heard, and then gets her phone close to Duke]
Duke: (Talks to Yui) Excuse me, ma’am, your grandchild is having a duel against me, which delays her from coming back home. But it’s not her fault. See, I am her archnemesis, so…
Yui’s voice: (Interrupts) Then let yourself fin, the kid needs to come back urgently! Do you wanna get her digestive system screwed?!
Duke: No, no no no! It’ll be a quick duel.
Yui’s voice: (Chill) Okie, bye, then.
[The call ends, and now Duke has forgotten his next move, while Betsy puts her phone on her pocket again]
Duke: Where were we?
Betsy: On that mysterious thingy that was about to “defeat” me.
Duke: (Remembers) Oh, right, lasers!
[Betsy jumps out of the helicopter, making a perfect landing]
Duke: Prepare to be FINALLY defeated!
[Duke shoots a couple of lasers to Betsy, which she fortunately dodged easily. Although this made the villain go feral]
Betsy: (Voice-over, bored) To be honest, out of all my battles with Duke, this is by far the lamest. It just makes my boredom hole grow bigger. If I told ‘em, would they comprehend me? I know Adult Swim does, but it’s not a real person, tho…
[Betsy jumps and hits the helicopter while spinning, over and over]
[Craig starts to hum what appears to be a 16-bit styled type of song, so the following joke appeals more to gamers]
[Suddenly, the environment switches to a 2D view, and a slightly pixelated resolution. Betsy hits Duke’s helicopter one more time, which ends up exploding while said explosion’s sounds get the same retro-game audio treatment, as the helicopter and the villain start to leave the scene]
Duke: (Frustrated, as he flees) Damn it! You’re gonna pay for this, stupid kids!
Craig: (Taunting, breaks the 4th wall) See ya later, Duke! We’re gonna prepare for the next show!
Duke: (As he runs away, confident) I have HUNDREDS of plans to finish you off, so my series of battles will keep going for a long time!
Craig: (Joking) How many episodes per season?
[Duke finally disappears from the scene, which stopped being pixelated, but still kept that bi-dimensional aura. Both characters made a high-five and struck a victory pose while moving one finger of a hand each. The Sonic reference, nonetheless, kept going on for an awkwardly long time, and both children shared the same feeling]
Betsy: (Keeping the pose) Oi, Craig.
Craig: (Keeping the pose) Yes?
Betsy: (Impatient, on her pose) For how long must we keep doing this?
Craig: (Impatient) Unfortunately, if we want to make the reference that we are doing accurately, for longer.
[Time passes, and both characters are seen having a small argument as they are finally arriving home, and Craig’s face starts adopting more comical anime expressions]
Betsy: (Argues) I don’t think that Sonic would spend a total three-minute mark striking the same pose! He literally kills himself in a game if you stand idle that same amount of time!
Craig: Can’t do nothing against that logic. 
[As the children got inside the house, they were greeted by their grandma Yui. She was kind of particular. Even if she was already a grandmother, she did not even look like a mother, more like a young adult with siblings. Her chest was completely flat, to make her appearance even more otherworldly. Her clothes were kind of simple as well, wearing a white shirt with some orange flame decorations, a purple and white plaid skirt, black-bordered, thick glasses, and a slightly lighter purple hair, shorter than Betsy’s, but she also wore a red heart-shaped hairpin on her hair’s left side]
Yui: (Jokingly) Good heavens, look at the time!
Yui: (Peaceful) C’mon, kids. I just prepared for you a true gastronomical miracle, for-
Betsy: (Speedy) OHMYGOSH, PASTA?!
Yui: (Pretends to be a sergeant)! The mind-reading Esper here is no other than me!
Yui is the odd mix of an uncannily young elderly woman, and an Esper, also called Psychic. She can read your mind whenever she wants as long as there’s an emotional link between the reader and the read. Quite cute and terrifying at once.
[The three children laugh for a bit and get out of the scene, presumably to the kitchen or the living room, wherever people eat nowadays]
===Epilogue===
[After a funny day, now Betsy and Craig played together on a Nintendo Switch at the living room. It had a Brown sofa, and a green-ish carpet, as well as a nice Smart TV. The game that played was no other than a Sonic one, given that many sound effects coming from the franchise’s older games were heard]
Betsy: (Scared) My gosh, Craig! You have to catch me when you fly!
Craig: (Annoyed) This stupid fox doesn’t wanna fly! And the controls are weird today!
[Suddenly, Betsy pauses the game, to Craig’s disappointment]
Betsy: Dude, I have an idea. Shall we call Alessa to play something online?
[Craig’s nostrils unexplainably leaked ink, despite not even having a nose of his own, upon hearing what appeared to be his crush’s name]
Craig: (Totally enamored) YAS!
[Craig still giggles at the idea, as if a child’s first and true love who’d never love them back was right there. On that moment, Yui sat on the Sofa, besides Betsy]
Betsy: (To Craig) Man… What does my bestie have that you love so much?
Yui: (Joking) You know, he’s like Kuromi when she gushed over his “so-called hot Crush”, Hiiragi.
[Betsy and Yui hi-five, instantly as somehow a couple of sunglasses appeared upon them]
Betsy: I haven’t seen “My Melody” yet, but I totally agree, she’s literally Craig.
Craig: (Annoyed) Okay, right, she might be my older and gorgeous Crush, but I’m not that kind of guy!
Betsy: (Joking) Okay, buddy, just don’t do anythin’ weird.
Craig: (Annoyed) One day, your jokes Will outrage social media!
Craig: (Annoyed) Her kindness and common interests also played a huge part on my crush on her!
[Now, the scene completely changes. Duke was the one featured, now in his own lair. He had many posters, anime figurines, engineering books, and an old computer. Said lair was atrocious, being only a room with a bookshelf for DVDs, and two desks, one for Duke and another for his merch. On the left side of the room, there was a poor attempt of a kitchen, as well as a simple mattress and a blanket that acted as a bed]
[He sat on the chair before the Monitor’s desk, and booted his computer, only for him to open the tool “MS Paint”]
Duke: (Talks to himself) Aight, Duke, never give up! If you still doodle some ideas, you’ll eventually find SOMETHING that bring that snot and her paper snot down…
[Duke, in an unseen angle, starts scribbling by fiercely moving his mouse]
Duke: (As he scribbles) Maybe a robot based on Osomatsu…
Duke: (Corrects himself) No, no. That was before yesterday. Keep thinking.
[Duke finishes his work and contemplates his “magnificent artwork”]
Duke: (Excited to see the outcome) Perfect!
[Duke had been painting an atrocious attempt at an anime version of who ended up being Professor Chaos, from the South Park show, but terribly deformed, with traces that looked more like a kindergartener’s than an adult attempt like his]
Duke: (Excited) That’s so marvelous! The absolute perfection, I love myself!
[Duke saves his file, and crosses his arms]
Duke: (Talks to himself) Aight, now it’s time to go back to my engineer things! And then pull an all-nighter with the top anime shows out there!
-End of the episode
|-|Trivia=
(Listed by order of appearance, cutting out the most obvious ones)
*There's a throwback to an old CSI Miami meme that shouted "Yeaaaaah" at a loud volume. This originated from many CSI Miami episodes, where Horatio Caine, before the opening sequence began, dropped a clever one-liner related to the case he'd investigate on said episode, followed by said scream, that comes from the song "Won't Get Fooled Again" from "The Who".
*There's a mention to the Adult Swim Network.
*The whole sequence of Duke's defeat mocks the way that bossfights ended in the Sega Genesis' games of Sonic The Hedgehog.
*In fact, Betsy and Craig later mimic the Blue Hedgehog's pose from Sonic The Hedgehog 3
*In the epilogue Betsy and Craig argued about Sonic CD
* Yui mocks Craig's attitude towards her crush, comparing him with the popular Character Kuromi, from Sanrio, and mentions Keichi Hiiragi as well, the crush of the former on the anime show "Onegai my melody".
*Duke mentions Osomatsu Matsuno, a character from the anime shows Osomatsu-Kun and Osomatsu-San
*Duke uses MS Paint, and creates a horrific Professor Chaos, from the show South Park.
*Another interesting Trivia is that, in said part, MS Paint's interface is actually in Spanish, since this show was actually born of an older Spanish version of it, and it takes place in an almost identical version of Spain.
|-|Author's epic notes=
Well, well, well, what have we got here?
Anyways, let's talk about this episode and why it probably sucks more than my other stories :D
As my totally non-improvised last blog hints, my other big projects, Chained to Rhythm, Sparkling Idol Simulator, and the Newgrounds and Hololive universes, have been delayed once again to 2024. So, in order to not leave 2023 having done nothing, (Tetris Shenanigans doesn't count, I finished everything but the article's code several days before the new year) I decided to port and slightly remaster my oldest and most hiatused project back in my Fantendo Hispana days, this show.
And, heartwarming fact (Only for me, ofc, no one but my friends knew about this show's existence before today): This episode was released the same day the original Spanish version was released, specifically the 7th of December, 2017. So it also came as a celebration of the 6th anniversary of my 2nd longest story-packed project (Chained to Rhythm surpassed this show's original length upon the 2nd anniversary of its development, sorry, Some Broken Walls).
Maybe I'll upload the English releases at a relatively slow rate, but I sincerely hope you end up not hating this fr.
The writing style of Some Broken Walls is radically different and more primitive compared to more modern works (My other releases happened on Fantendo Hispana way later than this show). Mostly because I was roughly 15 when I started writing this show. Although, as I'm remastering old episodes I wrote when I was 15-16 (Most of the production happened in less than two years), you might see glimpses of my modern writing style. Within the episodes, not only the show did grow, but I did. Now I'm 21 years old, and my storytelling has become way more emotional and Lore-charged than before. But I was already experimenting said transition with Some Broken Walls already. I reprised the cute and funny storytelling for Tetris Shenanigans at 17, and then, for the Hololive Fighting game at 19, I mostly combined the most bizarre humor, with some moments (Especially one of the story modes, which becomes more serious, creepy, and emotional as the story progresses).
At 21, I finally established a balance between tragedy, suffering, character development, and many other stuff, while also balancing with wholesomeness and comedy every now and then. Some Broken Walls may be flawed, especially on the first season (I made 2, and half of a 3rd one), but I'd like you to watch what I consider my coming-of-age in terms of content creation, as it is set in a not so long past, where we could be teenagers having fun, instead of young adults being uncertain, and also laugh for a while as we do so.
Holy crap, I really did the mucho texto thing once again, but I'm just so nervous! I usually flop when it comes to original projects, especially on stories, but I just hope you can have a good laugh and feel with the characters in this work. (Except for Duke, if he's "literally you fr", don't do anything he does in this show)
What other chaotic situations can this show, written by the same person who wrote the story of Tetris Shenanigans give us? Maybe in future episodes we'll know!
Mata ne~

==Opinions n' stuff==
We'd really love that, if you stumble upon this, you'd let us know in the comments what you think of this! This show has already 29 episodes and a film-length adventure written and published from years ago in its original language, but constructive criticism would still help us to improve the source material we already work with, thankies :D
