The Mask vs Beetlejuice

Chapter 3: The Mask vs Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice growled and enlarged his fist, swinging it at the green faced man, only to be stopped by the green faced man's fist forming into a brick wall. Beetlejuice snarled as The Mask spun around and turned into a pirate, complete with holding a canon "Arr matey! Time for ye to be blown into tiny bit's of rubble!" he yelled and shot a cannon ball into Beetlejuice's stomach, flinging Beetlejuice into the next apartment. The Mast spun back into his normal costume "Not a bad job, now that Mr. Bugboy is gone. Time to head to the Coco Bongo Club!" as he was about to zip to the Coco Bongo Club, Beetlejuice jumped out of the wall, in a mock Jason Voorhees look alike costume. He grabbed The Mask and and tied him up like a balloon animal, he lifted up the hockey mask "Not so fun is it?" he pulled out a needle and popped the Mask balloon. Beetlejuice turned back to his normal self and laughed "Did ya see green face Babes? He thought he could take me on, but I showed him!"

Lydia rolled her eyes "Ok BJ, that isn't funny. I said Mr. Ipkis is a pushover, but I didn't mean for you to give him a heart attack. Also, where did that green guy even come from? I'm gonna go see if Mr. Ipkis is still in the closet." as she looked into the closet, she was met with nothing, Stanley was nowhere to be found. Puzzled by this, Lydia to to Beetlejuice "He isn't in here BJ."

Beetlejuice looked befuddled "What do ya mean he isn't in there? I tossed him in there myself." soon a series of loud knocks were heard at the door, followed by an old, angry woman's voice "Ipkis! Turn down those stupid cartoons!" silence "And take a bath! You smell like a dump!" as soon as the voice was gone, The Mask came out of the bathroom in a flashing, yellow/grey tornado covered in lightning. As soon as the tornado stopped, there was Stanley holding a green, wooden mask "Sorry about that Lydia. That weird, smelly guy-" Stanley saw Beetlejuice and screamed "He's still here!" He grabbed Lydia's arm "Get behind me Lydia! I'll fight this guy off!" As Stanley put up his fist's in a 1930's strongman pose, Beetlejuice simply flicked Stanley's nose, causing him to flinch back.

Lydia heard a knock at the door and quickly looked to Beetlejuice "I'm sorry Beetlejuice, but... Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!" As she yelled those words, BJ turned to her in confusion and suddenly disappeared.

-Neitherworld-

Beetlejuice suddenly appeared on his couch next to Jock and Ginger. "Ahh! Bee-Atle-Juice! Where have you been all zis time?" Jock asked.

Beetlejuice scratched his head "I don't know. One minute I was fooling with this guy that was watchin' Lyds. Next minute I'm here." he then looked at the TV "So, what are you guys watching?" Beetlejuice asked.

"Neitherworld's Most Wanted." Replied Ginger. Soon a picture of Beetlejuice appeared on screen.

-Real World-

By the thirty-fourth knock, Peggy Brandt burst through, huffing and puffing "Stanley can you believe this!" Peggy yelled "I was just told by my editor that The Mask is considered a vigilante and is going to be arrested the next time he's seen!" she picked up a pillow off his couch and tossed it at the wall angrily, "Stupid Kellaway... Who does he think he is?" Peggy looked down to see Lydia watching TV, Peggy turned back to Stanley "Whose the kid?"

Stanley readjusted his tie in frustration, "He's a Lieutenant, he can do anything he wants. We just have to stay out of the way. And that is Lydia. I'm watching her while her mother is at work." suddenly the cartoon Lydia was watching went from colorful ponies, to a news report.

"This just in!" The news reporter started "Dr. Pretorius is at it again. He somehow created large worms to destroy Edge City." Lydia's face grew to shock, muttering one word "Sand Worms." The Reporter continued, "The police and military are tirelessly working to defeat these giant worms, along with Pretorius. Our only hope lies in The Mask... wherever he is." Lydia turned off the TV and looked to Stanley, who had his own look of fear "What's gonna happen Mr. Ipkis?" she asked.

Peggy gave Stanley a sly eye, "Yeah Mr. Ipkis. What's gonna happen?"

Stanley looked to the wooden mask on the table "I don't know, but I know someone who'll help." He picked it up, "I only hope he doesn't zip right to the Coco Bongo Club..." he then placed the wooden mask on his face, transforming into the green faced hero, The Mask. He gave a very stylish pose and shout "Sssssssssssssmoken!" he zipped to the door "Hey Pegs, know what time it is?"

Peggy looked to her watch "12:30?"

The Mask shook his head, "No. It's Party Time! P-A-R-T... Why? Because I gotta!" with that, he spun through the door and off to the Coco Bongo Club.

Lydia giggled to herself "Does this happen often?" she asked Peggy.

Peggy groaned "More than you know. Come on, we better get him to realize the situation." with that, they two left to find The Mask.

What do ya think? Like it? Hate it? Want me to update more? I will try, I'm on spring break, so I'll get working on some others soon.
