"Forest of Evil"
Part 1Narrator: We join our merry heroes on a glorious day in Terlawk! Wow...it's so nice out....I should just take off work! In fact...I think I will. See ya!
Director: Hey!! You can't do that! We're in the beginning of a cartoon story, here!
Narrator: Ta heck I can't! [foot steps are heard...then the slam of a door]
Director: Dang it! Well, I guess....[picks up papers]. *achem* We join our merry heroes on a glorious day in Terlawk! Wait...no....he said that......oh, here! [scene moves to a place with wide open fields of green...and hills and trees all in the background]
[Earthworm Jim suddenly comes running and skipping through the fields]
EWJ: Laaaaa la la la laaaa!!! [unexpectedly trips] Oof!
Peter: [walks on to the scene caring 3 over-loaded picnic baskets stacked up on each other] Urrrgghh! Jiiim, you COULD help, ya know!
EWJ: [stands up and dusts himself off] It's GREAT day for a picnic! Don't you think Peter?! [grabs the top picnic basket from Peter]
Peter: Yeeeah.. [wobbles over to a large tree and drops the other two baskets down under neigh it] Why are you so.....happy today, anyway? [opens a basket and begins to set up for lunch] Heeeey....is it something you're not telling me? 'Cause...
EWJ: [balances his picnic basket on one figure and spins it around] Nooo...[laughs] It's just a nice day! And the Princess said she would drop by during our picnic! [grins and sets the basket down]
Peter: Princess. [rolls eyes] Figures...
EWJ: [takes out and sandwich and sets it down] Ah, the birds, the trees...
Peter: Jim.
EWJ: The warm sun shine beaming down upon us from millions of miles away...
Peter: Jim?!
EWJ: Blue skys! Buzzing bees! And, oh, look! The daisies are in bloom!
Peter: JIM!!!!!
EWJ: Huh? Wha'? [looks at Peter]
Peter: [points] Your sandwich is.....moving!!
EWJ: What the..? [looks at sandwich] [sandwich moves along the ground] Now....um...sandwich! I order you to..! Um....to...
Peter: Ewww...weeeird! I told you the meat wasn't cooked all the way. [suddenly a root comes up from the ground...coils around the sandwich, then pulls it back under]
EWJ: [blinks] Ooookey. Now, there's something you don't see everyday. [stands and steps over to where the root was]
Peter: Jim, maybe we should find a different spot to have the picnic...
EWJ: Naaah.... [suddenly the entire blanket with their lunch set out on it gets pulled under ground]
Peter: That's it! I'm outta here!
EWJ: Somethin' mighty fishy is goin' on here. [has Peter starts to walk away...the ground shakes]
Peter: Eeep! [tries to take another step...the ground shakes again] Um...[turns back to Jim]
EWJ: Hm....I wonder if the Terlawk ranger knows about this. [soon a pine tree in the direction Peter was going starts moving]
PineTree: Grrraaaaaaw! [advances on Peter, with a open mouth and branches hanging out like arms]
Peter: AAHH! [runs back to Jim and leaps into his arms]
EWJ: Ooooohh golly.... [suddenly the tree there picnic stuff was by starts to move at the two heroes]
EWJ: Yipe! [jumps away] Erm.. [puts Peter down] *sign* As much is it pains me to harm one of mother nature's creatures.....[pulls out his big red gun] *achem* [zaps at the attacking trees] EAT DIRT, TRUCULENT TIMBRE! Ah hahahahahhaa!!! Ah hah...ha.....whew....[lowers gun]. Welp, that takes care of that. [turns around to see an entire army of advancing trees] AAAHH!!
Peter: *GULP* [covers ears and closes eyes] Must not fear, fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death that bring total oblivion....
EWJ: [takes a step back, then glances at Peter] Eh heh...Peter this is reeeeally not the time to.....
Peter: [transforms] RRRAAAWWWR! *snort*
EWJ: Yipe! [runs away from the attacking Peter) Hmm......here we go....(grabs one of the monster trees]
Tree: Gaaarrrrhh!
EWJ: [swings the entire tree around a few times] *grunt* Here...Peter! Go......catch...the stick! [throws the tree out into the distance]
Mad Peter: Raawwr....[chases after tree]
EWJ: Oye....this is absurd..[notices tree still comes at him] Gaah! [takes out gun and starts blasting the evil trees down one by one]
Director: Zzzz....oh! I'm on! While all these shenanigans are going on....back at the Planeteer HQ, the Planeteers are getting a little concerned...
Suchi [monkey]: Eee ooo ooo aaaah!! [runs across the HQ with Wheeler's wallet]
Wheeler: [runs after Suchi] Why you! [grabs the monkey by its neck]
Ma-Ti: No! Don't hurt Suchi! Wheeler: Why? It's a monkey!! And he has my wallet!
Gi: Guuuuys.....remember, this is a CHILDREN’S show!
Wheeler: Oh yeeeah....
Linka: [struts into the room] Like, how does my hair look?
Wheeler: [whistles] Greeat!
Gi: [elbows Wheeler] Shush!
Linka: [glances at Wheeler] Hmmph! [looks at her hand] Ahhh!! I have a broken nail! [Kwame and Gaia walk in]
Gaia: Greetings Planeteers! I have a new mission for you.
Wheeler: All right!
Linka: [takes out a nail filer] Not till I fix this!
Kwame: *achem*
Gaia: Um....as I was saying....[points to a big screen on the wall] [screen show the Terlawk park and EWJ and Monstrous Peter fighting the evil trees]
Gi: *gasp* That....that....
Linka: Woim-thingie.
Gi: Yeah.....worm-thingie is hurting those trees!!!
Ma-Ti: He sure is big looking...
Kwame: It's...hideous!
Gaia: That's the mission, kids. I need you to go down to this town and stop the vile destruction of our precious natural resource!
Kwame: Our leafy friends!
Ma-Ti: The trees!
Linka: Like, totally!
Sushi: Aaah aaaah!
Gi: So, lets go already!
Gaia: Good luck!
Director: Oh....done already? Wait...there's still more to come! Will Earthworm Jim ever get those trees to stop attacking?

Part 2
Director: So, we return to Terlawk, where Earthworm Jim and his furry companion in his alter-ego form are fighting the... aw, forget it. [Grabs Freakazoid! Announcer] Here. You're better at this than I am. I'm here to direct. So just... announce! [Walks off]
Announcer: Well. Alright. [to himself] At least the announcer here didn't replace _me_. Heh Heh. [Gathers papers] Um... oookay, EWJ and Mad Peter are vigorously fighting the evil trees into extinction.
[The last remaining trees are cowering with fear]
EWJ: Awww. Poor evil redwoods who really deserved it. Let us spare them, oh alter-egoed fuzz buddy!
Mad Peter: Aaaawwwwww.
[Jim smiles vigorously. Mad Peter frowns as he has nothing to maul. He slowly moves toward Jim]
EWJ: Now, we shall return to our...
Mad Peter: RAAAAAAAWWWWRRRR! [Mauls Jim]
EWJ: Aaaaaaaaaakkkkkk!!!
[The Planeteer Plane hovers over the scene]
Linka: Like, there they are!
Wheeler: We gotta stop 'em!
[The maul cloud moves toward an evil tree, pulls it in and turns it into splinters]
Kwami: Ohhh nooo!
[The Plane moves down. Meanwhile, Jim is getting the upper hand and is tickling Mad Peter under the armpit]
Mad Peter: Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! *Burp* [Turns back into Peter]
Peter: Whoa. At least the trees are taken aback! Now we can get on with our normal lives.
Wheeler: Stop right there! Fire! [Wheeler jumps out of the plane, extends his hand and a flame ball emits out of the ring]
Peter: Aaaahhhh! [very quickly] I must not fear, fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death that brings total oblivion! I must not fear, fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death that brings total oblivion!
EWJ [scornfully]: Oh _great_. You know how long it takes to... Waaaaa! [Peter turns into Mad Peter]
Mad Peter: RRRRRAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRR! [backhands the flame ball, which his the Planeteer Plane. The plane is immedeately ablaze]
Planeteers: Oh man!
Wheeler: Arg! No! You busted up our transports!
EWJ: Aw, it was a piece a'junk anyway! But... you've got other things to worry about! Aaaahhhh! [Ducks and Covers]
[Mad Peter advances towards Wheeler]
Wheeler: Uh-oh...
Ma-Ti: I'll handle it! Heart! [He extends his hand towards Mad Peter. The ring emits a yellow beam. It hits Mad Peter]
Mad Peter: Rowr? [Bends over and pats a flower] Rowr!
Ma-Ti: See, he's as gentle as a...
[Mad Peter crushes the flower. He stands back up and mauls Ma-Ti and Wheeler]
Ma-Ti and Wheeler: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
Announcer: Meanwhile, one planeteer is making a huge mistake.
Kwami [sprinkling seeds around the forest area]: Here you go, little friends. In good time, you'll grow plentifu... [Two dozen evil trees immedeately sprout and grow up] Even better!
Announcer: Meanwhile again, Jim is cowering like a scaredy-worm.
EWJ: [whimpers]
[Suchi walks by]
EWJ: Oooohhh! Pretty little monkey! Good li'l guy! Good... [Pats Suchi who immedeately bites Jim's finger] Aaaahhh! Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff! Snott!
[Snott jumps out of Jim's back and slobbers]
EWJ: Go Snott, go! Get the monkey-man! [Snott grabs Suchi and they fight on Jim's finger]
EWJ [writhes in pain]: Noo! No, Snott! Off my finger! OFF MY FINGER! [Snott grabs Suchi and starts hitting him on the ground]
Linka: Oh no! Poor Suchi! Wind! [Extends hand, ring emits a hurricane. Hurricane swallows up Snott and EWJ]
EWJ [spinning around]: Ooooohhhhh maaaaaaannnn! I'mmmm goooooonanaaaa huuuuuurrrrlllll!
[Kwami sees Ma-Ti and Wheeler being mauled]
Kwami: Only one man can help us! Let our powers combine! Earth! [Extends hand upward. His ring emits a green beam]
[Wheeler is thrown out of maul cloud]
Wheeler [dazed]: Fire! [Extends hand. A fire stream emits from the ring]
Linka: Like, wind! [Extends hand. A gale stream emits from ring]
[The hurricane dies down]
EWJ: Hooo! Better'n pro wrestlin'. [Collapses]
Gi: Water! [Extends hand. A mini-typhoon stream emits from ring]
[Ma-Ti stops Mad Peter and extends hand]
Ma-Ti [dazed]: Heart! [A yellow beam emits from ring]
EWJ: Holy Russian Spaghetti!
[The streams and beams connect]
Planet: By your powers combined... I am Captain Planet!
[Planet appears. Mad Peter looks at him and falls on the ground]
Mad Peter: Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! *Burp* [Turns back into Peter]
Peter: Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Look at that guy! Ah ha ha ha!
EWJ: I suppose a tickle-induced laugh isn't the only laugh that can change Petey... [realizes] Oh man! The trees! They're back! [Pulls out plasma gun and starts destroying the trees]
Trees: ROOOOAAARRR!
Planet: Stop it, you evil fiend! [Fires eye lasers]
EWJ: No no! You don't understa... [hit with eye lasers, stumbles into evil tree]
Tree: ROOOOAAAARRR! [Swats Jim with branch]
EWJ: No! Argh! Oof! Ow!
Peter [smiling]: Presenting Jim, master of the monosyllable.
EWJ: No time for jokes, little fuzz buddy. We have trees to stop.
Planet: You're evil! Evil evil evil! You must be stopped!
Peter: Jim is right, Captain Planet! The trees are evil! They'd destroy the world if they could! You can't stop us! We must destroy them!
Wheeler: He's threatening us!
Gi: Ha, that evil tree story was used by Hoggish Greedly in episode #69!
Planet: Ha ha! Your evil weaponry has no effect on me... [grabs chest]
Ooooooohhhhhh...
EWJ: Well, that kind of worked. Sorta.
[The trees advance on EWJ and Peter. They look back and see Captain Planet
and the Planeteers advancing on them]
Peter: And I was hoping for such a nice picnic.
[Princess walks by]
Princess: Hi, guys, I came for the picni... oh.
EWJ: Oop.

EWJ: Ah, my sweet daffodil of merriment! So glad you could....um...[glances at
the attackers]....join us! Be with you.....GAAAAHH!! [ducks away from an
advancing tree] Be with you inna moment!
Princess: Oh, sure...'tever. *yawn*
Peter: Jiiiim!!!

out gun]
Eat dir---!

EWJ: Huh? [looks at hand where gun was, then at Planet] Heeeeey! No fair!
Gi: Way to go Planet!
Planet: EARTH! [little beams come from Planet's fist into the ground]
EWJ: Kewl....
[suddenly the earth rises like a tittle wave and chases after Jim]
EWJ: NOT kewl!!! AHHH!! [runs]
Princess: [watches boredly] Que sera sera....
Linka: [looks at Peter] You're kinda cute.

Wheeler: [glares at Peter and Linka] Why that lousy mutt....I oughta...[makes a
fist]
Princess: [walks comely over the were the earth crashed on EWJ] Jim? Are

[muffled sounds come from under ground]
EWJ: [digs his way to the surface and pulls himself out] Oye.....the dirt here is
horrible! [spits]
Ma-Ti: That'll teach you to mistreat plant life! [runs up to Jim and kicks him in
the chin]
EWJ: OWW! Why you little brat!
Wheeler: Heh heh...nice move Ma-Ti!
Kwame: Ah ha ha, the freak deserves it!
EWJ: Freak? [grinds teeth]
[Shuchi and Snott zip across the screen]
[Planet walks up behind EWJ, and aim Jim's own gun at him]
Planet: Stick 'em up! You have some explaining to do.
EWJ: Eeek! [looks at camera, then back at Planet] Ya know....guns are really
too violent for kid shows like this......
Planet: Oh, right...[lowers gun]
EWJ: [quickly snatches gun from Planet] HAHA!
Planet: Why you......cheater guy!
Princess: Heh.....smooth move, Jimbo. [takes out a comb and combs her hair]
Wheeler: [looks at Princess grinning deviously] Hey there, babes.
[Princess puts her comb away, ignoring Wheeler]
EWJ: [glares at Wheeler] Grrr....
[suddenly the trees grab each of the Planeteers]
Planeteers: AAAHH!
Planet: What the....[rubs head]
Peter: Serve you right!
Trees: GRAAAAWWRRR!!
EWJ: I might regret this......[raise gun and blasts at the trees] Eat dirt, leafy
tyrants! Ah hahahhaa!!!
[trees get blown to bits and Planeteers fall to the ground]
Gi: And you're STILL hurting trees!
Kwame: You'll never learn, will you?
Peter: Aye..[slaps forehead]
EWJ: [mouth drops open] WHAT?!
Planet: Darn you, careless mutant worm! Shame, shame!
EWJ: Those trees are EVIL!
Wheeler: The only thing I see evil here is YOU.
Linka: Fer sure!
EWJ: But....but....
Ma-Ti: [covers ears] And such language!
Peter: [looks at Jim, trying not to smile] Hmm...
EWJ: That's it!!! [takes out pocket rocket and grabs Princess's wrist]
Princess: Woah!
[Peter hops on the rocket]
EWJ: I've had enough of this. [turns the rocket on and blasts off towards his
home]
Planet: Quick! He's getting away!
Wheeler: Duh...
Gi: He might try to harm more innocent trees! We stop him and change his
ways!
Wheeler: Can we destroy him if he doesn't?
Gi: [thinks] Um.......sure!
Kwame: Neat.
Planet: To the plane!
[Planeteers and Captain Planet get into plane and zip off to follow Jim]

Part 4, Conclusion:
Announcer: Now we turn to Earthworm Jim and.... Hey!
Narrator: Nobody told me _you_ were taking over my job!
Announcer: Well, I am now, I... HEY! Oofff! Get offa me!
[A brief skirmish is heard]
Announcer: Forget it, I got better pay at Freakazoid! [Walks off]
Narrator: Okay... finally... we turn to Earthworm Jim, at his house,
preparing to battle
Captain Planet.
[Inside Jim's house, Jim, Peter and Snott are reading "Fuzzy Wuzzy's Cutesy
Animal Book"
laughing with Princess What's-Her-Name looking bored]
Peter: Ha ha ha ha ha! I just looooooove that Pudgy Wudgy Hippo!
[The Planeteer Plane crashes in Jim's backyard. The Planeteers and Planet
walk up to Jim's door]
EWJ [from inside]: Ah ha ha ha ha ha! That Pudgy Wudgy Hippo is such a hoot!
*Sigh* Let's see another animal. Hee hee.
Linka: Like, he's using poor defenseless animals for entertainment!
Planet: And he makes fun of them! Well we'll put a stop to this!
EWJ: Hee hee hee! The Funny Wunny Seal! Heh heh... [Planeteers break down door]
Princess: Ah good. Summer's breeze.
Peter: Oh no. No you!
EWJ: Would you leave us alone?
Planet: Not while you have poor animals here!
Peter: Whaaaat?
Ma-Ti: Bet you made this _house_ out of those poor trees!
EWJ: What is _wrong_ with you? They were _evil_!
Peter: We even saved you from them!
Kwame: They were just giving us a fresh warm hug!
EWJ: [mumbling] fresh warm h...
Peter: They were gonna kill you!
Planet: No matter now! You not only destroyed those trees, but you're using
animals for entertainment!
EWJ: What the heck are you talking about?!
Wheeler: Where's yer "Pudgy Wudgy Hippo"?
Peter: They're in this book! [Tosses Planet the Animal Book]
Planet [flips through book]: Yeah right! This must be your document of all
the animals you keep! Now are you going to change your evil ways?
EWJ: _What_ evil ways??
Planet: Ha, you refuse. Now I must destroy you. Fire! [Shoots Fire Breath]
EWJ: Hmmm, did you say.... fire?!
Peter: I think he did.
EWJ: Awright then!! [Pulls out Plasma Gun and starts firing] EAT DIRT, OH
SUPREME ANNOYANCE OF MISINTERPRETATION! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Peter: He's done this an awful lot this episode. *Sigh* I love it...
Princess: You know, maybe I should dye my hair...
Planet: Ha ha ha! Your evil weap... [grabs chest] Ooooooohhhhh....
EWJ: Haven't you learned by now?!
[Suchi starts kicking EWJ]
Suchi: Ooh ooh ohh aah aaah aah!
EWJ [annoyed]: Snott...
[Snott jumps on Suchi and starts kicking him across the floor]
Linka: Wind! [Extends hand, nothing happens]
Wheeler: Hey stupid! We put all our powers in Captain Planet, remember?
Linka: Oooohhhh yeah....
[EWJ and Captain Planet start hand-to-hand combat]
Planet: Take this, evil worm thing! [Fires eye lasers to ceiling, piece of
plaster hits Jim]
EWJ: Heeeyyy! [Angry] Take this!
Planet: Yes, yes, we've seen the capacity of your weapon...
EWJ: I was thinking along the lines of... [Jim Jim-Whips Planet around the neck]
Planet: Aaaaaakkkk!!
[Peter is fighting Ma-Ti]
Ma-Ti: I know enough not to hurt you!
Peter: But _I_ know enough to hurt _you_!
[Peter starts punching Ma-Ti in the gut]
Ma-Ti: Oooooffff!
Peter: Not quite a maul, but, heh heh...
Princess [Files nails]: Aaahhhh.
[Suchi and Snott roll by like a tumbleweed]
[Planet finally beats EWJ to capacity]
EWJ: Oohhhh... I hurt bad...
Planet: Yay!
Planeteers: We beat him!
Planet: Great job, Planeteers! [slaps the Planeteers on the back, knocking
off their rings]
Peter: Wait a sec! The rings' power is in Planet? Aha! [Grabs Rings and
stomps on them]
EWJ: Oh, _I_ get it... [Jumps up and fires gun on rings] EAT DIRT, MERCILESS
POWER SOURCE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Peter: Jim, I think you're taking this "Eat Dirt" thing a li'l to seriously...
EWJ: No way, fuzz buddy! It's the backbone of this show!
Peter: Well, at least the _show_ has a backbone...
EWJ: I heard that.
[Rings turn to dust, Planet writhes in pain]
Planet: Oh no! I've lost! Now the world will turn to rubble because of this
worm...
EWJ: Eeesh...
Planet: The power... is... yours.... [Splits apart into colored beams, the
beams hit the dust]
Linka: Like, we've been beaten.
Ma-Ti [crying]: No fair! We're taking our dust and going home!
[As Snott and Suchi zip by, Ma-Ti grabs Suchi. Wheeler collects the dust]
Wheeler: We'll be back.
EWJ: Yeah.
Peter: Aw, don't go away mad! Just go away!
[The Planeteers walk away]
EWJ: AHA! You see, little fuzz buddy, Planet was really nothing of a
superhero, because he thinks he's the only superhero on the earth! We must
share our victories, which Planet did not! I...
Princess: Um... did you say something?
Narrator: Meanwhile, at Planeteer HQ...
Gaia: You failed in saving our leafy companions, plus you let those animals
with that worm!
Gi: But he busted our rings...
[Gaia waves her hand and the dust turns into the five rings]
Gaia: There you go. Big babies.
Wheeler: Maybe that worm guy was telling the truth...
[All think]
Planeteers: Naaaahhhhh.
Ma-Ti: I have a feeling we'll meet him again.
[Cow falls on Planeteers]
Gi: Well... maybe not... Oooofff, I hurt...
Narrator: And so we leave the puzzled (and flattened) Planeteers in thinking
that our hero was the bad guy. But we know better, don't we? ......Well,
don't we? Everyone?
The End!
