Brouhaha At World's Bottom

**Brouhaha At World's Bottom** is the twenty-first episode of the second season of TFAWPS. It is the forty-seventh episode overall.

## Plot

The survivors of Genesect's assault band together in an attempt to bring TFAWPS back to their own universe. Genesect travels around the universe searching for Cell in an attempt to get rid of him completely. The Dark Order pick up the pieces after narrowly escaping the Second Quadrant.

## Synopsis

On board the Starcaster, the group travel to the Land of Ooo while discussing their plans. Mega Man and Mario rally the other survivors and tells them that they've finalized a plan to get TFAWPS back. Mega Man explains that once they return to the Land of Ooo, they will have to set up a base of operations, either at the remains of TFAWPS Tower or Zack's Lair, since both of those locations will likely have the materials needed. Lupina asks what they should do if the Dark Order is there and Mario replies that they'll have to take care of the Dark Order by whatever means necessary, as this is an extremely high level emergency. Mega Man says that the wormhole device Zack uses to get from the Land of Ooo to Fin-Land should be able to be reconfigured to locate the TFAWPS members by feeding it information from their genetics. He says that Lupina and Wally will travel to TFAWPS Tower with Wario and Waluigi while Kirby deals with the remaining Simpson troops. Mega Man, Mario, and Luigi will go to Zack's Lair and retrieve the device. With their plan in place, the team land on the Land of Ooo and split up, agreeing to meet back at the Starcaster in an hour.

Elsewhere in the First Quadrant, Genesect travels to a new planet, which has recently released a distress call signaling a cosmic threat. Exploring the city, he locates Cell on another of his cosmic rampages. Flying towards him, Genesect calls out Cell. Noticing his former ally, Cell greets Genesect and asks him if he likes his new look. To Genesect's shock, Cell is no longer a solid being, but rather a ghostly version of his former self, closely resembling the Cosmic Entity. Genesect asks Cell how he survived and Cell says that Genesect simply didn't kill him and then asks him to step aside so he can continue his purpose, but Genesect tells him that he did kill him and that he couldn't have killed him more, and to demonstrate, he's going to kill him again. Genesect and Cell have another cosmic clash, ending with Genesect's victory over Cell. Before Cell disappears, he congratulates Genesect on his victory, but promises many more in his future. Annoyed, Genesect prepares to leave when he is met by the people of the planet who thank him for saving their lives and call him a hero. Genesect, initially angry, accepts their praise and tells the people that, while he never wanted to be a hero, he felt that it was his duty to step in and fill the void left by TFAWPS and S.E.C.R.E.T., as well as the Galactic Federation's focus on the war. The people once again thank Genesect for his nobility and sacrifice, as Genesect flies away with a smile on his face.

On The Rental, piloted by Master Robot, the Dark Order escapes the carnage in the Second Quadrant by escaping into the Fourth Quadrant. After narrowly escaping the carnage left behind, Pig King gets up from the passenger's seat and heads into the back to speak with the Dark Order, ordering Master Robot to keep the ship where it is for the moment. Opening the curtain to the back, Pig King is immediately confronted by Captain Cowboy who berates him for stealing his ship and leaving it in the hands of an inexperienced pilot, claiming that nobody can pilot it properly except him, prompting Master Robot to tell him that he's piloting the ship just fine. Pig King asks Captain Cowboy for maybe a "thank you" for rescuing him. Zack speaks up and tells Captain Cowboy that Pig King is right and thanks him for getting them out of there safely. Zack also apologizes to Pig King for his mistreatment of him and says that the Dark Order is thankful for his help, and he doesn't just mean rescuing him. Agent Yellow asks Zack if he's offering him a place with them and Zack looks at Pig King. Pig King tells Zack that he actually has a plan for getting the shards back and taking over both the Land of Ooo and Fin-Land. Zack asks how he possibly could have such a plan and Pig King replies that he had a lot of time to think after he was abandoned. Zack asks Pig King what the plan is and Master Robot tells Pig King that the automated escape craft has arrived. Zack asks what he's talking about as Pig King prepares to leave. Pig King says that he got them out of the danger zone, but they are not going to be square until Pig King abandons them, but says that at least he's giving them a ship. Pig King and Master Robot enter the airlock. Zack asks about the plan, but Pig King pretends not to be able to hear him as he and Master Robot depart The Rental and head towards the Third Quadrant.

On the Land of Ooo, Lupina and Wally walk through the semi-destroyed and semi-rebuilt TFAWPS Tower, reminiscing about how times were simpler. Arriving in the remains of their lab, they begin scavenging for supplies to rebuild the wormhole device. Wally says that he really needs this to work. Lupina replies that she does too and feels she's grown really close to the guys in the time she's spent with them on board the Starcaster. She asks Wally why he left and he replied that he felt he needed to be on the Land of Ooo because that's who TFAWPS were originally intended to protect and he points out to her that, while he fully supports TFAWPS branching out into other quadrants, he feels as though someone should stay behind and keep their home safe. Lupina replies saying that she thinks that is a smart idea and is proud of how far he's come. Gathering the supplies they needed, they start to head out, but as they do, Lupina stops for a moment. Wally asks her what's wrong and she replies that she just hopes she can get them all back safely because she doesn't know what she will do if they don't. Wally assures her that this plan will work and she will have nothing to worry about.

Elsewhere on the Land of Ooo, Allister McCallister works on removing the last few Simpson refugee ships from the Land of Ooo. While giving out orders to his soldiers, he is approached by Kirby asking for a meeting. McCallister asks if this is some kind of joke and wonders why his guards would allow a Popstar through his security checkpoints. Kirby points out to McCallister that he is no more Popstar than McCallister himself. Kirby explains that he advocated against this war and against Popstar policy in general and in retaliation he was exiled, which Kirby claims has been all the better for him. McCallister asks what Kirby wants and he explains to the Simpson general that there has been a situation in the Second Quadrant of unknown cosmic proportions and requests that McCallister put in a request to the Simpson government to help provide aid and maybe convince the Popstars to do the same. McCallister asks Kirby if he believes the Popstars will really help. Kirby replies that he doesn't think so, but he trusts his people will do the right thing, even if his government cannot. McCallister smiles and says that he wishes every planet had a Kirby and then the universe would be all the better for it. Kirby decides to help McCallister evacuate his people.

While waiting for the rest of the group to reassemble, Mega Man sits on the wormhole device with Mario and Luigi. Mega Man says that he hopes this works and Mario says that this needs to work because devoting so much of S.E.C.R.E.T.'s time and resources on TFAWPS is not the smartest thing to do especially when the Second Quadrant is on total cosmic lockdown. Luigi questions Mario on this, and Mario cuts him off saying that it's the right thing to do. Mega Man says that it's not the smartest thing to do and asks him why he's really doing it and Mario tells him that it's above his clearance level and Mega Man retorts that he doesn't work for him anymore. Mario asks Luigi to go check on Wally and Lupina, prompting him to leave. Mario admits to Mega Man that TFAWPS are the only ones capable of defeating Genesect for good. Mega Man playfully jabs at Mario for thinking that Mega Man couldn't beat Genesect on his own. Mario seriously replies that he couldn't because ever since that thing that happened between them, their powers are now equal and without TFAWPS, Mega Man would get nowhere. Mega Man admits that he knows it's true. Mario admits to Mega Man that ever since Mega Man showed up, he's been nothing but helpful to him. Mega Man replies that he can't stay here forever and eventually he'll have to go back home. Mario admits that he knows and says that this side of the universe will be all the lesser for it. Mega Man gets up from the device and tells Mario that he's talking nonsense because once they get TFAWPS back, this side of the universe will be all right.

On The Rental, Captain Cowboy sits back in the driver's seat and powers on his beloved ship. He begins talking to the ship and telling it that he missed it and he's sorry he let someone else drive it. Bart sits down next to him calling him a weirdo. Captain Cowboy tells him to shut up. Zack asks Captain Cowboy where they are and Captain Cowboy powers up the map, revealing that they are in the Fourth Quadrant. Agent Yellow says that he's fascinated as he's never been in the Fourth Quadrant before. Zack says that he suspects that nobody has. Captain Cowboy points out that this place is truly eerie and suggests that they leave. Bart suggests they leave quickly as he feels like they're all being watched. Captain Cowboy agrees and pilots the ship out of the Fourth Quadrant.

On the next planet, Cell is on another cosmic rampage when Genesect again confronts him. Cell greets Genesect with a sarcastic "we meet again." Genesect tells him to shut up. Genesect that asks Cell what his endgame is. After Cell doesn't respond, Genesect angrily repeats his question. Cell replies by saying that Genesect told him to shut up. As Genesect angrily fires cosmic blasts, Cell just laughs at Genesect's rage. Cell tells Genesect that he's worked with him for a long time and knows good and well that Genesect himself has no endgame. Genesect says that he doesn't need one, he just does as he pleases and it's not of Cell's business. Genesect kills Cell once again, bringing cheers and praise from the citizens below.

The group now assembled, save for Kirby, reunites at Mega Man's location. Lupina and Wally immediately get to work on assembling the device, assuring Mega Man that the assembly shouldn't take very long. Meanwhile, Kirby and McCallister continue to get the remaining Simpsons onto ships. During this time, the sky above the Land of Ooo becomes darker. Knuckles runs quickly up to Mega Man and informs him that he just came from the Mayor's office and he learned that a Popstar force is on their way to the Land of Ooo. Mega Man begins preparing a defense, while Lupina promises him that the device is almost completed. Mario begins directing the group, signaling Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi to head into the city to get the citizens to safety, while Mega Man and Knuckles prepare to help in the fight. Mario himself stays behind to aid Lupina and Wally.

As Kirby and McCallister continue their work, they turn around and notice the Halberd quickly approaching them. Both of them unhappy with this sight, approach the Halberd together as it lands in front of them. As Meta Knight walks out of the ship, he approaches his two enemies. McCallister speaks first, telling Meta Knight that it's time to end this war, citing the fact that neither planet seem to be getting anywhere and it would be more beneficial to work together to lend aid to the cosmic threat in the Second Quadrant. Meta Knight turns to Kirby and says that what's happening in the Second Quadrant is none of their concern. McCallister confronts Meta Knight, telling him that he was speaking to him. Meta Knight retorts, telling him that he's said nothing for himself, stating that Kirby got into his head and poisoned his mind. Meta Knight then tells him that he was once a good general, but has since gone soft. Angered, McCallister threatens to show Meta Knight soft and leaves to rally his troops. Kirby attempts to say something, but realizes that arguing with someone like Meta Knight is impossible. Meta Knight tells Kirby that Planet Popstar is in chaos because of him and that the people are revolting. Kirby tells Meta Knight that it's too bad he's missing it, but he has bigger things to worry about than a planet that should have died off long ago. The two then enter a brutal fist fight.

Wally exclaims that the device is finished and turns it on. As the device hums to life, Lupina and Mario quickly begin scanning her teammates' belongings, hoping that the device will locate their DNA and bring them back. Up above, McCallister leads the Simpson forces against Meta Knight's fleet, while Meta Knight and Kirby continue their fight. Wario and Waluigi help to escort civilians into their homes, as Luigi directs the flow of traffic. While Kirby and Meta Knight continue exchanging blows, they are eventually pulled apart by Knuckles and Mega Man. Knuckles tells Meta Knight to call off his forces, on order of the Space Corps. Meta Knight says that this fight was started by McCallister and Meta Knight is simply defending himself and on that note, enters the Halberd and flies up to meet McCallister's forces. Mega Man helps Kirby up as Knuckles comments that this is going to be bad. Mega Man says that TFAWPS will never forgive them if they let anything happen to the Land of Ooo and says that they have to do whatever it takes to stop this battle.

On the next planet, Genesect once again encounters Cell. This time, Genesect skips any discussions and goes straight for an attack, but this is what Cell was counting on. Cell pulls Genesect towards him and disappears. Inside the Negative Zone, Genesect stands alone, wondering where he is. Realizing he's in the Negative Zone, Genesect calls out to Cell saying that the Negative Zone won't keep him for long. Genesect attempts to use his powers, but realizes that they aren't working. Cell, back in his original form, approaches Genesect and asks him if he's afraid. Genesect asks Cell what he thinks and Cell replies that he's not surprised Genesect isn't afraid because all he has to deal with now is Cell himself and now that he's gotten rid of TFAWPS, nobody poses much of a threat anymore, save for Mega Man. Cell then opens up a one way portal to the Land of Ooo showing Genesect the survivors attempting to bring TFAWPS back. Genesect says that it doesn't scare him because he'll just kill them next time. Cell replies that he won't be able to do anything without his powers. Cell then transforms into the Cosmic Entity and berates Genesect for betraying him and promising to kill him. After this, Genesect is instantly transported back to the planet, with Cell not present. Genesect quickly runs away into a field and fires a cosmic blast, much to his relief, but still visibly shaken by the encounter.

On the Land of Ooo, the device finishes scanning TFAWPS' belongings and begins sputtering and spurring. Lupina and Wally anxiously hold hands and hope that their plan succeeds, as the fight rages on above their heads. Meta Knight fires his ship's weaponry causing much destruction. As the machine continues to sputter, it emits a massive burst of light and then collapses in on itself. As Wally and Lupina get up, they look around and witness Simpsons and Popstars surrounding them. Saddened, the two help each other up as the armies approach, until Ted releases a massive energy blast knocks back both armies, as Mofo takes down the remaining soldiers. While Lupina and Wally look on at their friends with smiles on their faces, Mofo and Ted hug them and each other and talk about how good it is to see each other. Elsewhere in the city, Mario and Luigi prepare to fend off a large Popstar force all on their own as Paco flies down knocking away most of the army while Pink Panther jumps down off his back and deals with the rest. Paco lands nearby while Pink Panther and Mario greet each other professionally. Knuckles begins facing off against a Popstar soldier, when he is suddenly electrocuted from behind by another. As the two approach him, Sonic quickly arrives and defeats the two. Sonic stands over Knuckles as he catches his breath asking if he's shocked to see him, prompting Knuckles to tell him to shut up.

As the battle continues on, albeit winding down, the newly returned TFAWPS members regroup with each other with Mega Man, Kirby, Lupina, Wally, and Knuckles. As they look around, they realize that the team is not all there. Initially sad, the group is forced to separate once again as the Halberd begins firing down upon them. Sonic, Ted, Pink Panther, Paco, and Mofo dive to one side, while Mega Man quickly yells for Lupina and Wally to run away and get to safety. Suddenly, the team hears a massive blaring horn and as they turn around, they witness *Ye Olde Rental* emerge as Buster captains it to ram itself into the Halberd, as Buster abandons ship, much to the glee and excitement of his teammates. As the ship rams into the Halberd, Meta Knight fires it's laser canon, decimating *Ye Olde Rental* but damaging the Halberd in the process. With the six TFAWPS members reunited, Sonic leads them towards Meta Knight's army and tells them to leave the Land of Ooo and never come back, or else he will not hesitate to decimate them too. Upon hearing this, the Popstars begin to retreat, much to Meta Knight's anger, as he orders his troops to remain on the battlefield. Sonic yells to Meta Knight asking him if he still thinks that the Land of Ooo is a weak planet. Refusing to leave, Meta Knight begins to fire his laser canon, but Mega Man flies up to the Halberd's windshield and punches his hands together, emitting a massive cosmic burst of energy. Upon seeing this, Meta Knight quietly turns the Halberd around and retreats with his troops. As Mega Man lands with the newly reformed TFAWPS, Paco asks what's happened to the Rainbow Twins, and Mega Man tells them that they all have a lot to discuss.

As TFAWPS and the group meet up, Mario informs them that he and his team will be heading to the Galactic Federation to speak with President Space about recent events, as Mega Man shakes his hand and thanks them for their help again, with Sonic agreeing with that. As they depart, TFAWPS, along with Mega Man, Lupina, Wally, Knuckles, and Kirby board the Starcaster and head back out into space.

After the battle, Pig King and Master Robot return to their Castle. The two enter their castle and greet Gunther and Tyler, both penguins happy to see them. As the two begin to relax, Master Robot asks his boss what he will do about crossing the Dark Order. Pig King corrects Master Robot, telling him that he didn't cross them, he squared the deal and considers them on equal ground now. Master Robot asks him about his plan, and Pig King says that he does truly have a plan and brings Master Robot into the lab and reveals the blueprints and mission plans for ending the war between Simpsons and Popstars, as well as rising to power in both Fin-Land and the Land of Ooo. As Pig King reveals his plan, Master Robot listens on, confused and nervous for Pig King's future.
