Last time in Omochao Land, Tedder and Pat were revealed to be traitors and were both killed by Andy. Tom, Tim’s second-in-command, turned out to be one of the good guy’s. The new group, Tom, Fred, Ian, Bob, and Andy, set out to attack Tim and get the access codes to get back to the real world. Wish them luck!
The group is running down a series of long halls with many twists and turns.
Bob: Where are we going?
Andy: To find Tim and get the info you need to go home!
They stop at a crossroads.
Fred: Which way now?
Andy: Ian and Bob will come with me to the left. Tom and Fred go to the right. If you find Tim, call us on one of these.
Andy pulls out a walkie-talkie and hands it to Tom.
Andy: We have the other one, just contact us if you find Tim, and do not engage him on your own. Ok, we’ll see you, good luck Tom and Fred.
Tom: Great, maybe while we’re together Fred and I can play Hearts and Fred can cheat.
Fred: I didn’t cheat! You cheated!
Tom and Fred run off to the right arguing on the way.
Fred: So, something is still bothering me. If Tim wants us dead, why did he
send Pat to get us from heaven where we were already dead?
Tom: He doesn’t want you dead! If he did he would have killed the others when they were first captured, he wants you all alive.
Fred: What? Why?
Tom: He needs you. Back in 1994, Tim was a little kid who had just gotten a Sega Genesis and was playing Sonic the Hedgehog. He spilled some milk on it one day and was zapped into the system. His body replaced the coding of a mouse in the game, and he became the mouse. The last several years he’s been slowly building up his power and influence over this world.
Fred: That’s what happened to us!
Tom: Yes! You guys are the first people from the real world to come in here since I did.
Fred: You came here too?
Tom: Yeah, a couple years ago I got zapped in through Sonic Adventure 2, a Dreamcast, and some Diet 7-Up.
Fred: Diet 7-Up? You can’t just make up drinks and expect me to believe you!
Tom: …Um… anyway… so yeah… he can’t figure out how to get back to the real world, but he found out you guys did before you died, so he sent Pat to go get you.
Fred: He can’t get back to the real world? Why are we trying to find him then?
Tom: Because he’s probably our best hope of finding a way to get home, he controls all the information.
Fred: What about you? Why are you betraying Tim?
Tom: I joined up with Tim when I got here and we’ve been basically searching for a way to get home. But Tim has become insane lately, I have to take him out of power, and that is when Andy found me and we formed a plan to get Tim. How did you guys get home before anyway?
Fred: Well… um… Ian had a remote… Now that I think about it, I have no clue how he got it.
Tom: Hmm… there may be more to Ian than meets the eye…
Meanwhile, Andy, Ian, and Bob are off searching for Tim.
Bob: Okay, now that we have some time, you have to tell us. How did you know Pat and Tedder would be evil?
Andy: Well, it’s a long story; let me start from the beginning.
(Author’s Note: Here is Omochao Land’s very first… FLASHBACK!)
Flashback (see chapter 4 of Part 1 for more details):
Andy has just crushed the remote given to him by Fred. Andy and Bob are the only ones left in Omochao Land. Andy decides to go find Bob and make him his slave, because his amazing power in Omochao Land has made him drunk with power. But he finds something that causes the God of Omochao Land to eventually crush him with his giant foot.
Andy is wondering through the countryside looking for Bob (Bonic, at the time) and he comes upon a strange shack that has been partially destroyed.
Andy enters the shack and there is a man there with a crooked smile.
Andy: I’m sorry; I didn’t realize anyone was here.
The man coughs and smiles and says “Hello, my name is John Sitcowski.”
Andy: Hello John. I was wondering if you had heard of someone named Bob coming through these parts recently.
John: DID YOU SAY BOB?? You’re wearing the Eggman suit… You wouldn’t be named… Andy… would you?
Andy: Yes! How did you know?
John: I am a dying prophet… I have seen the future of this world… It is bleak at best.
Andy sits down in the chair in front of John and looks at him.
Andy: Tell me.
John: It was told that someone from the outside would take over our world and corrupt it. That has already happened, Tim is here. His rule is merciless and cruel. But… the prophecy also says that more adventurers will come from the outside later, and free us from Tim’s tyranny. They are named… Andy, Fred, Bob, Ian, and Tom. It is told that they will take down Tim only if they can stop… The Three Pats.
Andy: The Three Pats? Who are they?
John: I’m sorry… my time is done… I am about to die… and…
Suddenly John grabs Andy’s wallet and keys and runs out the door.
Andy: Hey!
John yells back at Andy as he runs away, “I’m sorry! I am a kleptomaniac, but my prophecy is true! Beware The Three Pats!”
Andy: I found out through Tom that Tedder’s real name is Patrick Tedder.
And of course, Pat is Pat. That is why I didn’t trust him from the beginning.
I was not sure if the prophecy was true or not, but the fact that Tim didn’t
kill us from the very beginning was what gave it away.
Bob: I see… So who is the third Pat?
Suddenly Ian pulls out his gun and shoots Bob in the back. Bob falls over dead.
Ian points the gun at Andy.
Andy: What are you doing?
Ian: You never thought the third Pat could be me, did you? You thought it must have been someone else from inside the game, like Tedder and Pat. But the third Pat is me.
Andy: But your name is Ian!
Ian: That’s right. Ian Patrick Lee.
Andy: I can’t believe it.
Ian kicks Andy down and ties his hands behind his back.
Andy: What are you gonna do now? Kill me?
Ian: Of course not, you’re the only one who can get us out of here.
Andy: What are you talking about? You had the remote!
Ian: That was a fake, it took Fred and I back to a fake version of the real world. Tim created it in order to make Fred and the others think we were safe. That is why we went to the fake heaven in this Omochao Land when we died in the “real” world and the Robotech world. It was all in this world! Tim still doesn’t know how to get back, neither do I. We need you and Fred.
Andy: Why?
Ian: There’s a part of the prophecy you don’t know. It says that Fred and Andy hold the keys to returning to the real world.
Andy: So Tim never had the access codes to get home, did he?
Ian: Of course not, now, we are gonna go see Tim. Stand up and start walking.
Andy stands up and starts walking, with Ian following behind him with the gun pointed at him.
Suddenly the walkie-talkie crackles on and they hear Tom’s voice say, “This is Tom and Fred, we found Tim’s throne room. We are hiding in a nearby room. It’s in the Northwest Corridor.
Ian presses the button on his and says “We’ll be there soon. Wait for us before engaging Tim.”
Andy: You’ll never get away with this.
Ian: Shut up and keep walking.
