Return to Evil Guy Tower

Summary
After several episodes' worth of absence, EVIL GUY and his minions properly settle into Evil Guy Tower. However, things quickly go sour as they often do.

Script
Scene 1

EVIL GUY, PICKLE, FERNANDO, and SHADOW KIRBY are wandering about Evil Guy Tower, doing absolutely nothing productive.

EVIL GUY: Guys, where's all the cheese?

PICKLE: I dunno, Boss. Hey, Shadow Kirby, aren't you the last guy who saw it?

SHADOW KIRBY tries to speak, but coughs up phlegm and blood instead.

EVIL GUY: WHOA! What's wrong with him?

SHADOW KIRBY: (cough) It's the tuberculosis from that villa we stayed in the other day! Remember when Toad quietly warned us about it?

EVIL GUY: No...

SHADOW KIRBY: Well, he did. (coughs phlegm)

PICKLE: Eww, it landed on me! It's probably contagious!

EVIL GUY: Oh, no! We need to find a mushroom! We can use its medicinal properties to cure Shadow Kirby's tuberculosis!

SHADOW KIRBY and PICKLE both cough up more blood and phlegm. Fade to black.

Scene 2

EVIL GUY and FERNANDO are carrying the sickly PICKLE and SHADOW KIRBY through a generic meadow (yes, the one from this episode) when they spot a mushroom lying in the grass.

PICKLE: Guys, I'm feeling better now. You can put me down.

Suddenly, SHADOW KIRBY somersaults towards the mushroom with a grunt of pain and inhales it.

SHADOW KIRBY: Yes!! That tuberculosis was killing me!

PICKLE: Dude, what the heck? You cure your own tuberculosis but leave me sick after YOU infected me in the FIRST place?

EVIL GUY: Guys, calm down. Let's go home for now. Pickle, I'll find you a new mushroom under the couch. You know how much stuff ends up under our couch. I even found Chuck Norris in there.

PICKLE: Thanks, boss. Really, though, I'm OK for now.

The group walks off towards the horizon, oblivious to the fact that the tuberculosis virus can lie harmlessly dormant in a victim's body for years before fatally striking him down.

Moral
Do not underestimate tuberculosis.

Trivia
Pickle's tuberculosis WILL eventually return.
