GoldenRhino the baby Tonu watched in awe as the television
went on the blink. It was 1 a.m. NST and GoldenRhino knew he should've been in
bed way earlier. GoldenRhino's owner, TK, had fallen asleep on the couch watching,
in GoldenRhino's opinion, the best movie ever.
"That move had everything!" GoldenRhino whispered
to himself. "Action, uh...yeah, lots of action! And best of all, a totally spiffy
stuper villain!" Right then, right there, GoldenRhino promised himself something.
He'd become Neopia's worst stuper villain... no matter what.

"Morning TK!" SilverEmerald greeted cheerfully as she sat herself down for
breakfast.
"Mmm, smells good," added EmeraldBlitz as he
sat down across from her.
"I'm starved," finished JadePaw as she sat down
next to EmeraldBlitz. TK brought a plate with a pile of pancakes over.
"Where's GoldenRhino?" he asked. Then, GoldenRhino
entered the room. He was wearing a navy blue handkerchief tied around his face
with circles cut out of them. He had tied a maroon towel around his neck to
make it look like a cape. He walked over to the table, grabbed some pancakes
in his paw, and shoved them into his mouth.
"Y'know, forks are what one normally uses,"
informed JadePaw. GoldenRhino looked up at JadePaw and growled.
"I'll do what I want," he whispered darkly.
"Good morning to you too, grumpy. Sounds like
someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. What's up with that costume anyway?"
asked EmeraldBlitz.
"It's my stuper villain costume," replied GoldenRhino
.
"Super villain, not stuper villain," said TK.
"Whatever. Anyway, I'm going to be the best
stuper villain around. I'll be so bad and evil and mean! I'll rule Ne--Ooooh!
Look outside, it's a Faerie Cadro! Awww, isn't it so adorable!" GoldenRhino
exclaimed as he bounced over to the window. He watched the little Petpet excitedly
as SilverEmerald laughed.
"Yeah, you're going to be real evil alright!"
she cried as everyone else started laughing. GoldenRhino looked into the window
at his faint reflection and grimaced. They'd be sorry.

After breakfast, GoldenRhino was in his room. On his bed sat his red Babaa.
GoldenRhino had dressed it up as well. GoldenRhino tied a black handkerchief
around the Babaa's face. It was similar to his own except for the slight colour
difference, with little eye holes to help the Babaa see. The creature was starting
to drift off while sucking on a sheet of paper.
"NOOOO! Cherrific, that's my Stuper Villain
Check List!" cried GoldenRhino as he snatched the paper from the Babaa. "Okay,
here we go: 'Develop Evil Personality'. Hmmmmm... the grumbling at breakfast
was a good start... plus the staying up late last night! I'm a natural born
rebel! But there was that incident with the Faerie Cadro. I'll give myself a
half check. What do you think, Cherrific?" The Babaa looked up sheepishly and
burped.
"Hmmmmm... you burped without excusing yourself!
Wow, you're a rebel too. OK, what's next...ah, here we go. 'Make Evil Costume'.
Well, I have mine and you have yours. Check! 'Give Cherrific a Make-over'. Let
me see...well, you have the bandana but...name! OK, Cherrific, your new name
will be...Darth Babaa! Brilliant! and I'll paint you a scary colour of Halloween
later too! 'Get Evil Weapon'. Hmmmmm..." GoldenRhino scratched his chin while
trying to think of a good weapon to use. GoldenRhino ran out of his room to
SilverEmerald's.
"What do you want midget?" asked SilverEmerald
as she flipped through a magazine on her bed.
"May I please borrow a--" But GoldenRhino stopped
himself. This was not evil behavior! "Give me a weapon now or you'll pay." SilverEmerald
chucked a pillow across the room hitting GoldenRhino in the head. GoldenRhino
grumbled and headed down into the basement a.k.a. JadePaw's laboratory. This
was where JadePaw worked on all of her experiments.
"Hmmmmm... what I need is a type of potion,"
muttered the baby Tonu to himself as he eyed the bottles on the shelf. He read
each label aloud, searching for the perfect one. "Wart Remover, Dung Destroyer,
Wadget Shrinker, Polarchuck Grower, Tongue Colour Changer...wow, sis has waaaaaaaay
too much time on her hands. Hey, what's this?" GoldenRhino reached for a potion.
He read the dusty label. "Ten Second Super Powers! Wow! Super speed, strength,
x-ray vision...but it only lasts a few seconds." GoldenRhino also picked up
another potion, which read 'One Minute Immobilizer'.
He continued to search in the laboratory. Besides
the potions, JadePaw also seemed to have a few contraptions.
"What's this?" he asked. He picked up a dusty
old machine and gasped. It was an actual jet pack! "This is so great! But I
need a weapon... here's something..." He picked up a purple laser thing. He
squinted his eyes to read the minute label on the handle. 'Copy of Boochi's
Ray Gun'. GoldenRhino couldn't believe it. It was an actual copy of Boochi's
ray gun! With this, he could turn a Neopet into a BABY!
GoldenRhino jogged back to his room with all
of the stuff in his arms to see his Babaa chewing the head off one of his sisters'
Usuki Doll. By seeing this, GoldenRhino was reduced to tears.
"YOU DO LOVE ME!" he wailed as he hugged his
Babaa tight. But he stopped himself. He replaced his crying face with his 'stuper
villain' expression. "Er..good job... let's see what's next. 'Work on Evil Laugh'.
HEHEHE... oh no, that's weird. I'll try again... AHAHAHAHAHA! No, too plain.
HOHOHOHOHO... yuck, that's Santa Clause! Uh... MUAHAHAHAHA! Perfect! Now Darth
Babaa--I love that name--work on your laugh too." GoldenRhino waited. Darth
Babaa looked up and blinked. Finally after a few seconds, the Babaa burped.
"You're a natural! Okay, one more thing to go!
It says: 'Find Arch-Nemesis'. Oh dear...I WENT TO ALL THIS WORK TO BECOME A
STUPER VILLAIN AND I DON'T HAVE AN ARCH-NEMESIS!" he yelled. GoldenRhino immediately
regretted yelling, because as soon as he stopped, TK and the rest of GoldenRhino's
siblings ran to his room.
"Are you--" TK stopped as soon as he looked
into the room. TK didn't know what to be surprised at first. GoldenRhino still
wearing his outfit, the Babaa's costume or the piles of stuff GoldenRhino had
snatched from JadePaw's laboratory.
"Is that my stuff?" JadePaw inquired as she
saw the stuff on the ground.
"Nope," GoldenRhino lied as he tossed a sheet
over it.
"What's going on?" TK asked.
"Er...I was playing...pretend," GoldenRhino
lied again. He scowled as he saw the other pets breaking into silent laughter
behind TK. GoldenRhino could tell TK was trying hard not to laugh.
"Heh... carry on," TK said as he left the room.
GoldenRhino stood there scowling some more.
He had found his arch-rivals...his brother and sisters.
"I'll show them! Someday, I'll be the worstest
stuper villain around! I'll be so evil, they'll... be in shock at my evilness!
MUAHAHAHAHA! Ooh, that cute widdle Faerie Cadro is back! It's adorable! Yes
it is, yes it is!"
The End
