Museibutsu Seifuku

Chapter 3 - The Balance

Pinky searched throughout the contestant grounds, eventually ending up where the current contest, a triathlon, was taking place.

"I gotta make sure Righty doesn't cause any problems!" Pinky hid behind a bush. He had to find Righty so that Lefty could become whole again.

Pinky jumped out of the bush and ran to where the team captains were relaxing on lawn chairs.

"Do you think I might be safe here?" Pinky asked himself, not expecting any answers.

Suddenly, he heard a scream from above him, so he looked up. He saw Lightbulb with a shocked face. "Y-you can talk?!"

"Or course I can!" Pinky replied as he climbed up the lawn chair. "But shh!" He put a finger to her mouth. "Test Tube doesn't know, so keep it a secret!"

"Okay then..." Lightbulb squinted her eyes. "What do you need?"

"I need help!" Pinky screamed. "My friend Brain used Test Tube's project to split him into two different beings, and his creative side ran away! I'm trying to catch him before she knows about this!"

"Oh, so like Yin and Yang over there?" Lightbulb pointed to the two spherical objects, who were currently biking.

"Exactly that!" Pinky nodded.

"You can't tell me what to do! I'm independent now!" Yang said to Yin on the bike.

"But why are you doing this?!" Yin asked his counterpart.

"When Test Tube split us up, I gained my freedom, so I want to keep it!"

The two went under character development, until a random voice called from the ground. "Wow, look! They're just like me- split up!" It was Righty watching Yin and Yang.

Yang screamed, "I've had enough of this development!" He picked up Yin.

"Hey! What are you doing-" Before Yin can say anything, he was thrown to Knife, which broke his leg.

Righty looked at Yang in shock, then climbed on top of him. "Y-you monster!" Righty pointed down. "I can't believe you would do such a thing to your counterpart!"

Suddenly, Righty noticed something. "M-my counterpart! I have to get back to him!" He noticed Pinky nearby, running towards the two of them.

Righty jumped off of Yang, ran towards Pinky, and hugged him. "Oh, Pinky! How I missed your laughter!"

"Me too ~narf!" Pinky patted Righty's back.

"And the Bright Lights finally win!" MePhone announced. "About time!"

"Look! Righty!" Pinky pointed to Fan. "He won for Test Tube's team!" He grabbed Righty's hands and jumped up and down. "We finally won!"

"I can't believe you threw me at Knife like that!" Yin walked up to Yang. "You nearly killed us both!"

"Well, it doesn't matter what you think!" Yang aggressively replied. "I control my feelings now! And each and every one of you will DIE!"

Pinky gasped, "Righty! What do we do!"

Righty sighed in response, "We put things back in order, including Lefty and me."

"Wow, Yang, take it easy!" Marshmallow walked up to Yang as Pinky and Righty watched the action going on. "I think someone needs to go down to the calm-down corner!"

"Actually..." Yin tapped his fingers together. "Yang will never calm down."

"So what do we do?" Test Tube raised an eyebrow.

"I realized why Yang and I are together; it's for balance! There's only one way to fix this." Yin sighed, "Test Tube, you HAVE to put us back together!"

"But Yin!" Test Tube gasped. "I thought you couldn't stand Yang!"

"But someone needs to control his anger... and that someone is me!" Yin pointed to himself.

"Alright then..." Test Tube took out a bottle of blue liquid. "I just happened to make an antidote in case this went up!" She handed the bottle to Yin, who happily drank it.

"There's NO way I'm taking that!" Yang said in response to Yin drinking the antidote.

"Gimme that!" Knife snatched the bottle from Yin's grasp as forcefully gave the rest of it to Yang.

Yin and Yang floated into the air as they combined back into Yin-Yang.

"It worked!" Pinky yelled, revealing his presence to everyone.

Test Tube looked at Pinky and Righty, shocked. "Oh. My. Golly gee... MY MICE CAN TALK!" She started freaking out.

"What mice?" Balloon asked.

Test Tube looked at Balloon, then calmed down. "This is WAY too much! Nobody is allowed in my secret laboratory ever again!"

"What laboratory?" Suitcase raised an eyebrow.

"Heh..." Test Tube mumbled as she picked up Pinky and Righty.

***

"And that's how we can talk!" Pinky explained his entire story that he knows to Test Tube.

"I see..." Test Tube put a finger to her "chin". "Also, why are Brain's eyes yellow?" She noticed something about Righty.

"Hi there?" Test Tube turned to see Lefty waving at her from the cage.

"Don't tell me you used Project Split in yourself, Brain..." Test Tube facepalmed.

Lefty sighed as he walked out of the cage. "You see, I wanted to use it for an experiment I was working on, and it looks like it failed." He turned his eyes to Righty

Test Tube grabbed the blue antidote from before. "Thank goodness I made more of this stuff." She put it into two toothpaste caps and handed them to Lefty and Righty. "Drink up, you two!"

Righty and Lefty floated into the air as light turned them back into Brain.

When the light cleared, Pinky ran up to his friend, who was now whole again, and hugged him.

"You two!" Test Tube stopped the heartwarming moment. "Promise not to fiddle with my experiments ever again!"

"I promise!" Pinky winked.

"I promise..." Brain sighed.

***

It was later that night and the two mice were alone in the lab.

"That was such a rollercoaster..." Brain mumbled to himself.

"Aren't we gonna prepare for tomorrow night, Brain?" Pinky asked him.

Brain noticed his question, and stood up. "Yes, my friend! We shall try to take over the world!"
