I'm so glad you like it
and the final chapter comes HERE!!! This chapter is slightly different from the previous two, because it was written by me and then remastered by Babclayman. I'm sure you will be able to recognize Bab's unique style in certain parts of the chapter
Chapter 3
Battle for Dalmatian DominationAfter defeating the seven Titans of Natural Forces, three of four forms of Cuddly got in a conflict. The strong Cud wanted some of his powers back and so he decided to conquer one of the seven Amulets of Natural Forces. Hell Lightning Cuddly opposes him, because he knows that the Amulets have to be destroyed, so that the cursed Daemhors can never be revived. Aurora Cuddly is by Cud's side, and the genuine puppy Cuddly just staring at his three alter egos arguing.
„Guys, at first calm down, everyone!“ Cuddly said.
„If this moron tries to destroy the Amulets, I will destroy him before he succeeds in anything!“ Cud said.
„Don't be an idiot, giant!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly said. „Maybe I'm small, but I do have powers. I repeat that I do not want to fight you, Cud!“
As he saw that his alter egos weren't going to stop, Cuddly sneaked out of the room to check where was P.H. de Vil. He found him in one room, with his arms and legs tied. He was alive. Cuddly felt relieved when he noticed that P.H. can't move, and so can't do anything dangerous.
Meanwhile, in the other room, Cud was squeezing Hell Lightning Cuddly in his hand.
„You're giving me no other option, Cud!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly said and lifted his glasses up, blasting a pair of laser rays into Cud's eyes.
„Arrrrrrgh, you vile creature!“ Cud growled as his hand got opened and dropped out Hell Lightning Cuddly who immediately lifted up his lightning-shaped stick and blasted a black lightning into the seven Amulets of Natural Forces. An explosion was heard and the amulets were disintegrated.
„NOOOOOO!!!!!“ Cud screamed outragedly.
„Red lightning!!!“ Aurora Cuddly said and a red lightning struck Hell Lightning Cuddly's head, but nothing happened to him.
„What the...?!“ Aurora Cuddly said.
„I am Darkness-Enn, you moron!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly said. „Your ridiculous electricity can't hurt me.“
„You will regret opposing me!“ Cud growled.
„Oh yeah, I'm so afraid!“ the Hell Lightning Cuddly said, and then Cuddly entered the room.
„What the hell is happening here?!“ Cuddly asked.
„This moron destroyed the Amulets!“ Cud said.
„But we knew it was necessary!“ Cuddly said.
„No way! Now I can't get my powers! But I will not give up! I will conquer this d*mned universe!!“
„Oh, Cud, I don't believe it!“ Cuddly facepalmed.
„Shut the hell up, you...“ Cud growled and tried to grab Cuddly, but a black lightning struck his hand.
„Don't dare touch Cuddly!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly said.
„Arrrgh...“ Cud growled „I am getting weary of your Interference! Aurora, sort this traitor out!“
With a wave of his PawAurora Cuddly said and a golden tornado hit Hell Lightning Cuddly who flew away and hit the wall.
„Lightning!!“ Cuddly shouted.
However the Hell Lightning form of Cuddly, layed there, motionless on the floor.
„You know what?!“ Cud said. „I don't care about the fact that I was born in your stupid canine head! If you try to stop me in conquering this universe, I will rip you apart! Aurora, let's go! Let's take this ship back to Earth.“
„Let's go, Cud!“ Aurora Cuddly said and those two went out of the room, leaving Cuddly and Hell Lightning Cuddly there.
„How will we ever stop them?“ Cuddly asked.
The Hell Lightning form, staggered up and looked Cuddly in the eye „It all depends on you.“
„Me!?“ Cuddly eyed in confusion, if not tearful, aware of the fact that his Lightning form was mortally injured „But what on earth can I do? I am just the Normal Form.“
„But that's the point!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly held Cuddly's Paw „You're the one who dreamt all this up! You made Cud and Aurora...even me...This is your dream, you have the power over it!“
„But I am Weak!“ Cuddly snapped back, teared eye „I couldn't do anything to save you! I'm nothing like Cud, I can't bend reality to my word, I wish I could, though! All that Power, no one would ever do wrong against me, EVER!“
„You are not weak. You've got the brightest mind of all four of us.“ Lighting still spoke calmly „I often wish I was like you. With your Intellgence, Along with your Family...Friends...If by all things, you are the most powerful of us all.“ He then paused and whispered into Cuddly's ear, before withdrawing and slowly nodded „Trust me...“
The Hell Lightning then drooped and collapsed motionless on the ground, before fading into air, like so many dreams.
Cuddly paused, trying to resist screaming in anger, he didn't know what to do, was his Hell Lightning self even right? What good could he do?
He then looked at the door, which Cud & Aurora exited by, he paused as if an idea has sparked in his mind, he wiped his eyes with his paw and marched to follow his Darker Egos „I'll be the most powerful!“ he said to himself.
Meanwhile, Cud and Aurora Cuddly found P.H. de Vil tied up. They walked closer to him and he stared at them in fear.
„Hello, human!“ Cud smirked. „We've got things to ask you.“
„Talking anthropomorphic dog?!“ P.H. said. „Fasinating!!“
„Yes, I am what you said“, Cud said. „Now don't ask more questions, I am the one asking questions here. Tell me about the cursed Daemhors. Why didn't they kill you?“
„They said...“ P.H. stammered in fear. „that I could be useful to them. After they defeat some creature called... Dark... Darkness... I don't remember the name!“
„Darkness-Enn!“ Cud said.
„Right!“ P.H. said. „They said I could be useful to them, because I'm an intelligent scientist. I don't know what's going on here!“
„Can you control this spaceship, human?“
„I have no idea how to do it“, P.H. said.
„Useless creature!“ Cud said and left the room with Aurora Cuddly, leaving P.H. tied there.
As Cud and Aurora Cuddly left the room, Cuddly was standing next to them.
„What the hell do you want?!“ Aurora Cuddly growled. „Leave us alone!“
„Guys... I'm actually by your side“, Cuddly said.
„What the...?!“ Cud and Aurora Cuddly said, looking confusedly at each other.
„You're right!“ Cuddly said „I am weak and I no longer want to be! Always being Bullied by Mooch and almost getting killed by Cruella for a coat! Well, It's high time the Universe discovers it's true master! In fact, the Universe is not even enough, I want us to be Gods of Time, Reality & Creation ITSELF!“
The Cud paused, almost in disbelief at his creator, but soon smiled sinisterly „I see you've made the right choice, Cuddly. I knew you join what you are destined to be.“
„Pity you didn't side with us sooner!“ Aurora however spoke up „You could have stopped that Pathetic Hell Lightning version of you from destroying the Power Amulets.“
„Oh...Who says they're lost?“ Cuddly eyed „I think I know a perfect way to revive them, or even just make it so we are all to Cud's Power!“
„It be magnificent to become pure again!“ Cud nodded „But how?“
„You will see.“ Cuddly smiled, just like Cud „We have to use P.H.'s machine. Just follow me.“
Aurora Cuddly walked after Cuddly, but Cud stopped him.
„Wait, Aurora!“ Cud said. „How can we know that this thing is telling us the truth?“
„It's my interest!“ Cuddly said. „If we succeed, my position on Earth will be much better. Cud will conquer other galaxies, and I will be able to do whatever I want, because Dalmatian dogs will be the dominant species of the Universe. I won't be owned by those Dearly humans. Besides that, the two of you are not like my Hell Lightning self. He disappointed me, I thought he was a good one.“
„I think he's sincere“, Aurora Cuddly said.
„Yeah, we have already destroyed that Lightning form in that room“, Cud said. „We can't lose anything by going there again.“
And so Cud and Aurora Cuddly followed the puppy Cuddly to the room where the machine was.
„Here's the plan.“ Cuddly said, picking up the two electrodes, P.H. Devil has plugged into him earliar „This thing is capable of reading my dreams and mine alone! If I simply plug these in and fantasise about Unlimited Power, we'll all get our Powers back and whatever we need to conquer creation!“
„Can't argue with that logic!“ Aurora smirked „You're a smart Pup, Prime! I respect that!“
„Cud! The device is activated up there! Only you can reach it!“ Cuddly explained „Press it and this machine will do whatever I want!“
Cud, eager to get his Powers back instantly did what Cuddly said and pressed the Red Button, activating the Machine.
The Device Sparked to life as the Bulbs and Wires, which put it together, sparked with Sparks as red as Cuddly's collar. The Electrodes in Cuddly's head began to flicker, faster and faster, like a Train slowly gaining speed.
Cud & Aurora smirked as well, as though they began feeling their power returning.
„YES!“ Cud called „I can feel it! The EPAD Power returning! Whatever I think, the Universe obeys! Gods are simple play things to me! I...AM...CUD!“
Cuddly however began laughing.
„What's so funny?“ Aurora began eyeing Cuddly, confused.
„Did you really think, I would help you harm my Dearly Family & Friends!? Along with all the innocent people of the Universe!?“ Cuddly laughed more „I had to get some way to get you to allow me to use the device again!“
„What did you do!?“ Cud growled.
„Well, I can see you think, I've done something, I'd never do!“ Cuddly smirked „I just figured, it was high time for a reunion! LIGHTNING!“
With that call, two bolts of black lightning struck Cud & Aurora in the back, causing the dark egos, to collapse to the ground, Cud landing with an Earthquaking thud. As the two got back onto their paws, they glanced behind them to see, none other, than Cuddly's Hell Lightning Form.
„YOU!“ Cud growled „How!? We destroyed you!“
„That you did.“ The Hell Lightning version of Cuddly nodded „But just remember this! I am Cuddly's Dream, As are you! All that he needed to do to revive me was just to dream me up again with the Machine.“ He chuckled „I was right, He really is the smartest of us all, as apparently you two are gulliable Morons!“
„We'll see about that!?“ Aurora Cuddly tried forming a Golden Tornado, however nothing came „What's happening!?“ he stared in shock, just as he was struck by Hell Lightning.
„You're my dream! I can have anything happen to you!“ Cuddly called.
As Aurora climbed to his Paws, once again, Cud growled „You traitor! Now you'll always be weak! But that still means, I can destroy you quite easily!“
He glared towards Cuddly, still plugged in and began charging towards him, however a Red Electrical Field surrounded Cuddly, just as Cud was about to hit.
„Deactivate the Machine“ HL Called „I'll hold them off!“
To that word, Cuddly sprinted deep into the workings of the machine.
Whilst without powers, Cud was able to lay a good punch against the Lightning and grabbed him in a headlock „Aurora! Smack him!“
„You'll never conquer this reality!“ HLightning coughed „Not without your Original!“
„He'll work for us!“ Aurora punched the caped hero to the gut „He'll soon see he's one of us!“
„I got to question though...“ Lightning asked „While you two are battling me...who's stopping him from turning the Machine off?“
With that sudden realisation, catching them in shock, Hell Lightning Cuddly released a huge burst of Electricity, pushing Cud & Aurora into the surrounding walls.
Meanwhile, Cuddly was pulling each and every wire, he could find, hoping one of them to be the Power Source. He eventually made his way into the workings of the machine and came across a small electro ball, like one he had seen Roger play with, occassionally in his Attic Studio.
This must have been the source, Cuddly tried to smash it, However his Paws seemed useless against the glass surrounding it.
„STOP HIM!“ Cud's voice called from the battle, as more Red Sparks flew, the Exterior shell of the Machine seem to break apart, as a huge opening was made, revealing Cud to be pulling the machine open with his Muscle, whilst Aurora thought Lightning.
As this happened, a piece of piping landed right beside Cuddly, it looked hard and firm, with the science lab shine.
Cud continued reaching to Cuddly, his eyes burning with anger. It was now or never.
Cuddly grabbed the pipe and swung it hard into the Orbe and with a crash and explosion of Sparks, he smashed the Electro-Orbe into small glass pieces.
There was then a shudder, within the area. Cud & Aurora began clutching themselves as if something had poked hard at all their preassure points, Cuddly himself began feeling pain his his head, like the headache of a thousand hang overs.
With a scream of the three, Cud & Aurora seem to blur into bolts of red electricity, shooting straight into Cuddly's forehead, Cuddly screaming the hardest of the three, before both bolts were calm. Cuddly collapsed.
He soon opened his eyes to see his Hell Lightning Form, looking down on him, smiling, goggles off, so the two saw eye to eye. It was true what they said, Cuddly did have his Mother's eyes.
„You okay?“ His Lightning form asked.
„What happened?“ Cuddly asked, still knocked senseless due to the bolts.
„The Machines power is down.“ The Lightning explained „Cud, Aurora and the entire Spaceship have been sucked back into your mind. Where they belong.“
„Will Cud & Aurora remember this?“ Cuddly asked.
„It's a dream so I highly doubt they will, and if they do, they'll pretend it never happened. They're back in their own realms and their normal selves...Yes...Both have their Powers back to their full as well, but I know you'll never allow Cud's or Aurora darkness to become reality.“
„Why you still here then?“ Cuddly got back to his Paws rubbing the fur on his head, his normal fur style taking shape.
„I was the most recent thing you dreamt of.“ Hell Lightning explained „I'll be back in your dreams in less than a minute.“
„But why?!“ Cuddly frowned.
„Because of two reasons. First, that reality still needs me. I have to fight villains there. Second, if I stayed next to you, you would end up envying me for having the powers that you want to have. If I become your dream again, you will be me in your dreams. If I stay real, you won't be me, but jealous of me. Maybe you don't see it now, because you are fascinated by meeting your dreams, but later it would be so. Trust me! We have to say good bye.“
„I understand!“ Cuddly said. „Maybe you're right. Well, it was really nice to meet you, Hell Lightning!“
„The pleasure is mine!“ Hell Lightning Cuddly said and shook Cuddly's paw. In that moment, Cuddly felt some powerful energy running through his body. But it must be the autosuggestion, he believed, the impression of meeting his dreamed alter ego.
„You know what to do with P.H., Cuddly“, Hell Lightning Cuddly said. „I have to go. Good bye!“
„Good bye, Lightning!“ Cuddly said.
Hell Lightning Cuddly's body glew red and then it faded away. He was back in the dream reality.
When he opened his eyes, Cuddly found himself in P.H.'s laboratory. Like Lightning said, everything was normal again. He then gazed and noticed in the corner of the room, P.H.Devil, still tied up.
Cuddly walked towards him and stared, P.H. Seem to coware in terror at the sight of Cuddly, remembering his Dream Forms. Cuddly shook his head, he felt P.H.Devil had been punished enough, besides, where would Adventures on the Dearly Farm come, if Cruella lacked a Devil?
With a wag of his Dalmatian Pup tail, Cuddly happily padded from the Labs, P.H. Still tied and gagged, struggling to get free.
Soon Cuddly had found a way out and in several minutes he was back at Dearly farm. It was morning, the pups were still asleep. As he noticed that everyone was still sleeping, without even noticing that something very strange happened, he walked out of the barn. Suddenly he felt an enormously powerful energy, just like in the moment of shaking hands with his Hell Lightning alter ego. He looked up to the sky, the clouds had blocked what would have been a lovely starry night. If only the Clouds were a little more to the West. All at once, there was a powerful red & black lightning bolt and a loud thunder was heard, causing the clouds to swerve more Westward, just like Cuddly had thought.
„Oh wow...“ Cuddly whispered to himself, with a friendly smile forming on his Muzzle as he trotted happily back into the Dearly Farm Barn, back to lead his Dalmatian Pup life with his family, the Dearlys...with some powerful bonus.
THE END
