Toppy, Rohan, Dave, Tex, and I were on death row for breaking and entering, animal cruelty, and burglary, which aren't crimes you can be executed for. The only reason that we were in this mess was because of RJ and the family abandoning us.

"I don't want to die, guys," said Toppy, sadly. "Not for real."

"There, there, there, Top," said Rohan, uncertain and embracing Toppy in a hug. "We'll be OK."

"You were right, Toppy," said Tex. "We shouldn't have stayed to help them. I'm sorry."

"No," said Toppy. "I knew that we couldn't bury the EXE here and we got ourselves into this mess. Then, we scared off the family. We should've known better."

At that moment, we saw that RJ was doing a livestream on his Instagram. We all watched the stream and saw RJ and the family, with the food, waiting for Vincent. Then, Vincent appeared out of nowhere.

"So, I was on my way to kill you all, but I thought I'd watch a show first," said Vincent, as he switched on the TV in RJ's room. "Check it out!"

Sure enough, it was COPS, covering our arrest. Hillbilly Tim was watching us get arrested from outside, while holding his gun. The cops were on us, as we tried to get out of their grasp.

"Why are you grabbing me?!" yelled Rohan on the TV, as he was put in handcuffs. "Police brutality! Police brutality!"

"Let go! Do you know who we are?!" I yelled, as I got pepper sprayed in the eyes. "We are the Multiverse Protectors!"

"We warned you!" yelled the cop, as he sprayed me with more mace.

Meanwhile, Toppy, Dave, and Tex were having a standoff with the cops on the balcony.

"You capitalist pigs!" yelled Tex, as he, Toppy, and Dave got patted down and cuffed.

The cop then held up a bag of cocaine.

"Coke?" asked the cop.

"That's, uh, not ours," said Tex.

We then got pushed in the cop car, as Vincent switched the channel to the news, covering our execution.

"Breaking news!" said the news person, who looked like Martin Lawrence (Known for voicing Boog from Open Season.) "The five animal-abusing burglars will be executed tonight at 5:30 PM in an extravagant ceremony! Fun for the whole family! Featuring the opening acts of Gunna and Young Thug! More on this story in a bit!"

Vincent turned off the TV and smiled at the family.

"That is the most selfish, vain, greedy, and cruel thing that I've ever witnessed from you critters!" said Vincent, sinisterly. "But that's how animals like us survive. We take the food, and the Multiverse Protectors take the fall! You keep this up, you guys will end up just like me. With everything you want."

Vincent than started eating all of the food, after giving the family one bag of chips. Verne's eyes widened in shock at the small amount of food that the family had.

"One bag?" said Verne. "Vincent. That wasn't the deal!"

"What?" said Toppy, in shock.

"Oh, you poor naïve amphibian," said Vincent, sinisterly. "It's not your fault. The stupidest of creatures could never see this move coming."

"But we need that food too!" yelled RJ, as he kicked the wagon over. "You won't get away with it!"

After seeing the wagon load of food all over the forest floor, Vincent got angry. He roared in the family's face and started chasing them over to the jail. But then, he noticed the EXE.

"This is what transformed them," said Vincent. "Vincent, you a such a genius!"

Vincent then applied the EXE to himself and started changing into the most gruesome EXE villain yet. He had black skin, sharpened teeth, sharpened claws, red eyes, and blood running down his face. He was now Vincent. EXE!

"RJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Vincent. EXE.

Then, the live stream ended. In the nick of time, too: RJ and the family got into our cell and started begging for our help.

"Oh! So now you guys want our help?!" asked Tex, angrily.

"Yes!" said Hammy. "RJ knocked down the wagon load of food and now Vincent is chasing us!"

"Not gonna happen!" I said. "You guys betrayed us! When we tried to help you! Why should we help you now?"

"We were wrong!" said RJ and Verne.

"Guys, please!" said RJ, as he heard Vincent. EXE bang on the door.

"You're dead, RJ!" yelled Vincent. EXE, as he started chewing and clawing at the door. "You, your family, and those Multiverse Protectors!"

"Sorry, guys," said Dave. "But we can't trust you anymore."

RJ and the family than began to weep. Not just because we were refusing to help, but because they felt bad and were about to become Vincent. EXE's dinner. Toppy looked into their eyes and knew what had to be done.

"Kadin! Dave! Rohan! Tex! I can't just sit here and do nothing!" said Toppy. "Let's save our friends! They came back for us. We're heroes. This is what we do."

"OK," said Rohan, as he thought up of a plan to save the family from the bear. "I got this!"

Rohan cracked open the door, holding a can of Spuddies in front of Vincent. EXE.

"Hey, Vincent!" said Rohan, as he cracked open the can. "You know what they say: With Spuddies, enough is never enough!"

Rohan than ate the entire can and thrw it at Vincent. EXE, before closing the door.

"Rohan!" Vincent. EXE roared, as he got into the cell. "Prepare for dinner!"

"Look! Spuddies!" said Dave.

Vincent. EXE looked all around the cell for the Spuddies that were non-existent. Meanwhile, we had all escaped the cell and were now running from the bear and cops. The cops were surrounding us from all sides of the building.

"So, these animals are trained, eh?!" said one of the cops. "That must mean you are terrorists! Once we catch you, you are gonna get the worst execution method ever: Beheading!"

"Officer," said Dave. "You know what the best part of jail is?"

"Um, not dropping the soap?" said the cop.

"No," said Dave, as he threw another empty Spuddies can at the cop. "Jail break! Also, there is a rabid bear in here. Goodbye."

We continued running, wile Vincent. EXE consumed the cops for dinner. The cops screamed in agony as blood and guts seeped from their bodies. But Vincent. EXE was still chasing us.

"Guys! He's too fast! We'll never outrun him!" said Stella.

"What do we do?" asked RJ, in horror.

Heather looked at a nearby taser that one of the cops had and at Vincent. EXE. She then grabbed the taser and turned it on.

"Heather, what are you doing?" asked Ozzie.

"Dad, I think if I can get eaten by Vincent. EXE, with this taser on, I can save us," said Heather, as she positioned herself on a slingshot.

"No," said Ozzie.

"But wouldn't it work?" asked Heather.

"Yes, it would," said Ozzie. "But if you go into Vincent's stomach, you will die for real."

"I know," said Heather, smiling. "Shoot the slingshot. If my death means I save this family, so be it."

"Well, you better go say your goodbyes first," said Ozzie, as he broke down in tears.

"I love you, Dad," said Heather, as she embraced her dad in a hug.

"So long, kid," said Ozzie.

Heather than said her goodbyes to the entire family, including RJ, who looked like he was about to cry. Then, Ozzie shot her in the slingshot, and Tex played Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap on himself, as Heather made the ultimate sacrifice for her family. After Heather got consumed by Vincent. EXE, he blew up, and the EXE went back into Tex's jar.

After these events, Vincent was hauled back to the Rockies. But before that, he was able to make amends with RJ.

"RJ, I'm so sorry about Heather," said Vincent. "All I wanted was my food back. I never intended for anyone to die."

"Hey!" said RJ. "It's OK, Vincent. If you come visit us again, I'll be sure to bring you a pizza or something."

"Thanks, RJ," said Vincent. "Maybe there's a universe out there where I do get my food back and your family has their food."

"Maybe," said RJ, with a laugh. "I'm glad we're friends again, Vincent."

"Same, RJ," said Vincent, as the car drove away. "Thanks. Thanks for saving me."

As the car pulled away, RJ began hysterically sobbing over Heather. We went up to him and patted him on the back.

"RJ," I said. "We got you something."

"Well, it's from Heather," said Toppy.

Tex, Rohan, and Dave appeared, holding a female robot. RJ was confused at first. But then, we switched the robot on and it was Heather's voice.

"Hey, RJ," said Heather. "The boys and I decided to make you this robot version of me, if I'm ever not around or dead or whatever. I removed a lot of my flaws, and added a lot of you. We call it Heather. AVI. This is how committed I am to you. I will always love and cherish you, even when I'm gone. You are my husband, and you will always be, beyond the end of time. I love you 3,000, RJ. Enjoy."

"You guys made this for me?" said RJ, as he embraced us in a bear hug. "That is so thoughtful of you guys! I'm so sorry I ever insulted you!"

"We forgive you," I said.

Then, Verne realized something.

"Guys! There are only 267 days left til winter and we still don't have any food!" said Verne. "What are we gonna do?!"

"Uh, Verne?" said Hammy, raising his hand.

"Yes, uh, Hammy," said Toppy, pointing to Hammy.

"I filled the log," said Hammy, as he ran towards the log back at their home. "I found more nuts!"

"Awesome, Hammy!" said RJ.

"Thank you for everything," said Verne.

"You're welcome," said Toppy.

"OK," said Tex, as he held the jar of EXE. "We for sure can't leave this here. We have to dispose of it somewhere else."

"Agreed," said Rohan, as he jumped into another portal. "Come on, guys! Where to?"

So, we hopped in the portal and we off on another crazy adventure across the multiverse. But now, we had this lesson: Family matters always.
