## The Story

### Scene 1

*Elsewhere....*

*At New York City, a ship of tourists head to shore, getting prepared to enter the Big Apple itself. Once the boat docks, several tourists make it out and begin to take photos of where their at. A rich man and woman also board off the boat and walk down together, before then a man dressed in dark clothing then approaches them.*

(Tourist in Dark Clothing) <(Hello there, newlyweds! Welcome to New York!) \*holds out camera\* <(You don't mind if I take a picture of you two lovebirds besides the Statue of Liberty now, do you?)

(Man) <(Sure!)

(Woman) <(Fine by me.)

(Tourist in Dark Clothing) <(Good!) \*bends down, aims camera\* <(Smile!)

*The couple then pose and smile for the camera. Just as the camera flashes though, a bright flash of light goes up, temporarily blinding the two. Once they regain their vision, they see that the strange tourist is gone. However, they were then left with another problem....far behind them, the Statue of Liberty's eyes then "blinked". Then, the next thing that happened was that the Statue of Liberty came to life and began going on a rampage! The couple and the tourists then ran for their lives as the Statue of Liberty went on it's rampage. Meanwhile, upon a hill, the same strange tourist then watched the whole thing progress, and then proceeded to shed his human disguise.*

(Camerahead) \**appears to be a camera-themed monster with one eye and dressed in a fancy suit and bowler hat\* <(One landmark down...and several more to go.) \*then turns away and leaves, leaving New York in chaos\**

*Meanwhile with our heroes....*

(KamaMask) *\**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2rbvpctPho *plays as KamaMask stands outside waiting at a music shop, carrying a Spanish guitar. He looks at his watch several times, tapping his left foot impatiently*\* <(Oh vamos, what is taking GrasshopperMask so long to get here?)

*A few more minutes go on by of nothing happening, before then GrasshopperMask finally arrives on his Grasschopper to pick up KamaMask.*

(GrasshopperMask) <(Hop on!)

*KamaMask then hopped onto GrasshopperMask's back and then they drove.*

(KamaMask) <(So what took you so long to get here anyways? I was waiting for you for 45 minutes.)

(GrasshopperMask) <(I was out taking care of more important matters.)

*Forty five minutes earlier....*

(GrasshopperMask) \**eating at some McDonalds food, chewing on burgers\** (Om nom nom nom---say wasn't I supposed to pick up somebody?....) *\*then remembers\** <(Oh right!) \**then wolfs down food, before then dashing out\** <(Don't worry KamaMask, I'm coming to pick you up) \*....*only then to spot a pawn store selling a bunch of Kamen Rider and kaiju action figures\** <(After I shop.) \**then dives in pawn store\**

*Back to present...*

(KamaMask) <(Oh yes, so much more important than picking your friend...)

(GrasshopperMask) <(Hey those were there for a limited time only!)

*Before the two could banter some more, they then got an incoming message from Dr. Kyle on the Grasschopper.*

(Dr. Kyle) <(DUUUUUUUUUUUUDES! We got a situation here!)

*Both GrasshopperMask and KamaMask then pay attention to the Dr. Kyle hologram playing before them.*

(KamaMask) <(What is it Dr. Kyle?)

(Dr. Kyle) <(As of late, there's been a monster going around bringing famous landmarks and statues to life and making them attack the cities.)

(GrasshopperMask) <(Huh....that's unusual. Buildings attacking instead of the monsters?)

(KamaMask) <(I know right?)

(Dr. Kyle) <(Right now, the Statue of Liberty is massacring Manhattan, Big Ben is ravaging London, the Eiffel Tower is terrorizing Paris, the Mt. Rushmore heads are destroying parts of South Dakota; it's all hard to take in. Anyways, it's up to you two to find the monster that's connected to this and stop him at once! His name is "Camerahead".)

(GrasshopperMask) <(I'm betting he's going to look like what he sounds like.)

(KamaMask) <(Odds are he is....anyways, thanks Dr. Kyle.)

(GrasshopperMask) <(Yep thanks Dr. Ky---OH SHIT!) \**focuses back on the road, nearly ran over some people\** WHEW!!! Dr. Kyle, next time you might want to communicate to us when were not on the road.)

(Dr. Kyle) <(Noted.) \**then signs out\**

(KamaMask) <(Alright, we gotta find Camerahead. But where could he be?)

### Scene 2

*GrasshopperMask and KamaMask then search all over for Camerahead and this goes on for several hours, but alas no luck. Soon they stop at Shurakuen Park, which would ultimately lead to their discovery..*.

(GrasshopperMask) <(Man I can't find Camerahead anywhere. And we've been practically searching all day! Where could he be?)

(KamaMask) <(He's got to be around here somewhere....now if I were a camera-headed monster, where would I go....)

*Then at that moment, a tourist came up to the two.*

(Tourist) <(Hey! Mind if I take a photo with you two here right besides this statue?)

(GrasshopperMask) and (KamaMask) <(Sure!)

*As the two go to pose, the tourist back aways, then takes out his camera, getting into position.*

(Tourist) <(SAY----"I GOT YOU SUCKERS!")

(GrasshopperMask) and (KamaMask) <(I GOT YOU SUCKERS!) \*both smile\*

*Just then as the tourist snaps a photo of the two, a bright flash is emitted, blinding our heroes. Just then, the tourist then began to evilly laugh and then shed his human disguise, revealing himself to be none other than----*

(Camerahead) <(SHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

(KamaMask) \*vision slowly comes back\* <(Wait a minute! Kaijin!) *\*points at Camerahead\**

(GrasshopperMask) \**stoops and fumbles around, before then he also begins to regain his vision, then also points at him\** <(CAMERAHEAD! YOUR TIME HAS COME!)

(Camerahead) <(On the contrary, I'm just getting warmed up.) *\*backs aways\**

*As Camerahead backed away, a loud creeking sound could then be heard. GrasshopperMask and KamaMask turned to see where the noise came from and lo and behold; the Shurakuen Buddha then rose up from it's spot and opened it's eyes, coming to life.*

(KamaMask) <(...Maldición.)

(Camerahead) \**commanding the Shurakuen Buddha*\* <(Yuuuuuck! Look, Giant Buddha! Bugs! Smash these insects for dare disturbing you!)

(Shurakuen Buddha) \**nods, then gets out giant rocky flyswatter, begins swatting towards GrasshopperMask and KamaMask\**

*GrasshopperMask and KamaMask then do battle with the Shurakuen Buddha, also doing their best to make sure he doesn't get damaged. Camerahead then flees from the battlefield, going to continue his bussiness elsewhere.*

(GrasshopperMask) \*to Camerahead\* <(COWARD!)

*Shurakuen Buddha then swats him, making him fall onto the ground. Meanwhile, Camerahead then contacts Dr. Piranha.*

(Camerahead) <(The Shurakuen Buddha now belongs to us sir!)

(Dr. Piranha) <(Excellent! And what about those two pesky wannabe heroes?)

(Camerahead) <(Getting clobbered as we speak!)

(Dr. Piranha) <(Alright good. Keep up the good work Camerahead! Also, here's a list of all the other landmarks I want.) *\*holds up list to monitor screen so that Camerahead can see*\* <(Memorize that if you can.)

(Camerahead) <(Yes boss!) \**snaps photo of list through monitor, screenshotting it. Afterwards, he then left to continue his mission\**

(Dr. Piranha) <(Our newest monster is a success! Good work Quadrel!)

(Quadrel) <(Thank you! You know, I always thought to myself how would the landmarks feel about attacking for once? Giant monsters are always crushing them, I thought to myself, what if they could fight back? You know what I'm saying?)

(Dr. Piranha) <(Yes. Now then---Quadrel, attend to cleaning the laundry.)

(Quadrel) \**sighs, walks aways\**

(Steve Stinger) <(Soon we'll have every landmark under our domain! Ohhhh, I call dibs on the Empire State Building!)

(Alien Scunge) <(I call dibs on the Leaning Tower of Pisa!)

(Dr. Piranha) <(SILENCE! I'm the decider here! I'll give you what I'll give ya. Isn't that right, Ceania?~)

(Ceania) <(Why yes, Dr. Piranha.~) \*r*ubs his fishbowl head\** <(So what landmark will I be getting?)

(Dr. Piranha) <(How does the Sydney Opera House sound to you?)

(Ceania) <(I love it.)

(Dr. Piranha) <(I knew you would, dear.)

*Ceania and Dr. Piranha then proceed to start smooching. Yes really. Now would be a good time to check back with our heroes.*

(Shurakuen Buddha) *\*repeatedly bashing GrasshopperMask and KamaMask with his giant rock flyswatter\**

(KamaMask) \**then crawls out, pulls GrasshopperMask out\** <(Got any ideas?)

(GrasshopperMask) <(I KNOW! PUNCH IT!) *\*charges, punches at Shurakuen Buddha....only for reality to ensue and feel immense pain\** AAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOGH!!!) \**staggers back\**

(Shurakuen Buddha) *\*laughs, then tosses aside his giant flyswatter and punches GrasshopperMask away with one of his fists.\**

(KamaMask) <(There's got to be some way to beat this statue without destroying it. What could that be....) \**then hatches an idea as he sees a giant hole over on the other side of the park\**

*KamaMask then ran off and then came back with a hose and some gelatin.*

(KamaMask) <(GrasshopperMask! Use your Grasshopper Kick to kick him into that hole!)

(GrasshopperMask) <(What? You sure!?)

(KamaMask) <(Yes!)

(Shurakuen Buddha) *\*advances towards them, roaring\**

(GrasshopperMask) <(Welp, here goes nothing!) \**then runs forwards, flipping up and then performing a flying kick against the Shurakuen Buddha. Surprisingly it works.\**

*Just as the Shurakuen Buddha falls into a big hole, KamaMask then threw packages of gelatin in the hole and then sprayed out water from his hose into the hole. Eventually the Shurakuen Buddha was trapped within the gelatin.*

(Shurakuen Buddha) \*groans\*

(GrasshopperMask) <(We did it!)

(KamaMask) <(It's not over yet! We still have to catch Camerahead!)

(GrasshopperMask) <(Oh right.)

### Scene 3

*GrasshopperMask and KamaMask then pursue Camerahead again, this time finding him at Tokyo...*

(Camerahead) \**in his human disguise, about to snap a photo of the Tokyo Tower\** <(One photo of the Tokyo Tower coming riiiiight up...)

*But before Camerahead can take a photo of Tokyo Tower, GrasshopperMask and KamaMask then sprang into action and kicked him down together.*

(GrasshopperMask) and (KamaMask) <(PSYCHE!)

(Camerahead) *\*rolls over, kicked so hard he sheds his human disguise\** <(You two again!? Grrrrrr! Scornamis! Deal with these pests!)

*Several Scornamis then appear out of nowhere and rush at our two heroes. KamaMask then rushed towards the Scornamis and began to tear and slice them apart with his Superpowered Kamas, while GrasshopperMask rushed over to fight Camerahead.*

(Camerahead) <(Let's see how you like my pretty pictures of me beating you up! IN GLORIOUS HIGH DEFINITION!)

*Camerahead then created a bright flash of light from his eye, creating a giant explosion in front of GrasshopperMask. GrasshopperMask leaped up, narrowly avoiding.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4NeP8DfIdo *began to play as GrasshopperMask and Camerahead began to duke it out some more. GrasshopperMask delievered some punches and kicks against Camerahead, hitting at Camerahead hard and sending out sparks and flares off of him.*

(Camerahead) <(Camera Eye Flash!)

*Camerahead then created several more bright flashes of light from his camera eye, temporarily blinding GrasshopperMask and then creating several explosions around GrasshopperMask's area, engulfing him in the explosions.*

(GrasshopperMask) *\*falls down, can't see at the moment\** <(AAAAAGH! That hurt!)

(Camerahead) \**summons out Film Reel Tendrils\** <(Hehehehe. Lights out for you!) *\*then lashes them out at GrasshopperMask\**

*As KamaMask fought off the last of the Scornamis, he saw Camerahead summon out his Film Reel Tendrils at GrasshopperMask to constrict him. Thinking quickly, KamaMask then threw his Superpowered Kamas at the tendrils, slicing them. The kamas then returned back to KamaMask.*

(Camerahead) <(NOOOOO! YOU RUINED MY FILM! NOW I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SUFFER!) *\*prepares to emit his Camera Eye Flash again, this time at KamaMask\**

(GrasshopperMask) *\*leaps up high, then chops at Camerahead's head\** <(GRASSHOPPER CHOP!!!)

*The Grasshopper Chop slashes at Camerahead's head hard, causing it to split open and sending film reels to be spilling and shooting out from his head, as if it were blood.*

(Camerahead) <(NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD!)

*As Camerahead flailed around as the film contents left his head, GrasshopperMask then ran towards him and leaped up, performing his flying kick at him.*

(GrasshopperMask) <(GRASSHOPPER KICK!)

*GrasshopperMask's kick then struck Camerahead, engulfing him in a giant explosion and destroying Camerahead.*

(Camerahead) <(AAAAAH! MY FILM CAREER IS OVER! CURSE YOU!) *\*staggers around, then falls down, exploding\**

(GrasshopperMask) \*poses\* <(I succeed!)

(KamaMask) *\*flips, regroups with GrasshopperMask\** <(We win!)

*As our heroes stand victorious, Dr. Kyle then messages them again to congratulate them.*

(Dr. Kyle) <(Good work GrasshopperMask and KamaMask! You stopped Camerahead and saved the cities that were being under attack by their very own landmarks! Now the landmarks have ceased attacking and are back to normal. There's juuuuuuust one problem. Now we need to get them back to their proper places. So you guys will be needed to help place them back.)

(GrasshopperMask) and (KamaMask) \*groan together\* <(Awwwwwwwwwwwww....)

*Meanwhile back with Mad Piranha Corps...*

(Dr. Piranha) <(Curses!) *\*throws a wrench at Quadrel\** <(Damn it Quadrel! Now I need to think of a new plan!!)

(Quadrel) <(Sorry my lord...) *\*cowers, goes back to Monster Making Machine, going to cook up a new monster soon\**

(Steven Stinger) <(That's too bad---I sooooo was looking forward to owning the big business landmarks.)

(Dr. Piranha) <(Of course you were. Now in the meantime I'll be in my studies. As for the heroes, mark my words; will get them next time!)

*The End*
