Chapter XV: Wrath of Robert's doppelganger
Last time on Dragon Ball Z...
The autistic kid who is our main character is still frozen in carbonite after roughly five chapters now. Captain America and company explore the autistic kid's mind and some across the Mani Mani Statue from Earthbound, which turned into a gold door, and we also found out the autistic kid has horrible parents and even worse classmates. Now we're about to find out what the gold door led to, and who the next opponent is.
[insert title theme]
============================================================
The gold door led to a dark castle interior. A horribly rendered Sega Genesis- style rendering of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor played in the background The Graffiti "Saddam was here" and "Gamers Rule" littered the walls. There were four doors, two on the left had question marks above, and the one on the right would only open from the inside. Robert walked out of the room, exhausted, and sweating. Robert hugged the Gems, as he was happy to finally see some allies in this hellish abomination. "Don't go in the two on the left, they lead to the exact same thing: horrible platforming challenges and even worse arbitrary puzzles. There were two doors on the left that Robert was talking about. and that left the one in the center, which had "BK"above it. It was the only door that wasn't locked. It just led to a throne room with the dead body of what appeared to be Shaggy from Scooby Doo, or Peter Pan with a mullet on the floor. The throne had what appeared to be a jet black knight armor, still as a stone. As the Gems approached the armor, the armor got up and transformed into what appeared to be a recolored form of Robert. It had grey skin, white hair, an orange shirt and black pants. "You all are fools for coming here!" the doppelganger boomed. "Oh, Forgive me. I am Trebor, like Trevor, but with a 'b'. I am strong, handsome, smart, everything he isn't!" Trebor pointed at Robert. The Gems got ready for an attack, but a force field formed between them and Robert. "1v1 me, mate!" the doppelganger boomed.
And so the fight begins...
Steven watched in horror as Robert just took every blow Trebor dealt. He didn't even try defending himself. Then Pearl thought of something: the reason Robert is just taking the abuse is because he has no confidence to fight. "We should all tell Robert what we love about him!" Pearl proposed. "I'll go first."
"Your swordsmanship surpasses even that of Rose Quartz" Pearl stated.
"You're unpredictable, and that makes you special to me."Garnet said.
"You're the Merciless Executioner! You can take this stupid shadow!" Amethyst yelled.
"You're my brother, don't die...for me."Steven said with tears in his eyes.
Connie said nothing. The Gems looked at her. "What?" she said, as if it were unwarranted. "Connie, can you please say something nice for my brother?" Steven asked.
Connie thought for a bit. "I've got nothing!"
Amethyst was about to beat up Connie, but Garnet stopped her. "Connie, if Robert dies, then Earth is doomed, and therefore you and Steven cannot make love, and don't think you can retreat to another planet, because the moon landings were faked." she said in an almost intimidating tone.
"Even if you DO survive, then I will hunt you down and tear you apart!" Amethyst yelled. "What has he ever done to you?" Connie turned towards Robert, and took a deep breath.
"The reason I was so shallow and cold to you was because...you're so loved by so many people here! Not only are you the 'chosen one,' but you get to be the brother of STEVEN QUARTZ UNIVERSE! You have no idea what it's like for your parents, siblings, friends, to act like you don't exist and the fandom wanting you dead! I was just jealous. That's all...*sniff*" she yelled.
Robert felt it was all but false. "I get it. You feel like nobody cares and then meet the one person who remotely has an interest in you. Then another person comes in and you then worry that the one person who makes you feel like you belong forgets you. I understand. I know that feeling all too well. You may think it would be great to be the one in an ancient prophecy, but it's not. There's this huge weight on your shoulders, and I'll bet if it wasn't for this, I would be homeless." Robert answered
Trebor became more still than the armor he wore. He disintegrated and this hell ceased to exist, waking Steven and the Gems up. Robert learned a new part of the melody:
Raise your voices
All day long now,
Robert felt a new power flow through him. He could now heal himself and his comrades by making direct contact as well as tell if people are lying, even if they are the best liars. But will this allow him to break free? And can he make it to Steven's birthday party?
