But Mxy wasn't careful. Because of nothing more than an unexplainable whim, he turned a metallic door in front of them into a pineapple, revealing a robotic feline behind it.
"MXY?! What the..." Leslie yelled, ducking to avoid the feline that threw itself at her. Behind her was Brianna, who wasn't as lucky as Leslie and was pushed to the floor by the feline, who now stood over her.
"HEY!" Mxy screamed, pointing at the giant cat. "HE LOOKS LIKE SYLVESTER!"
Suddenly, the cat DID look like Sylvester from Looney Tunes. An EXTREME robotic version of it. "I p'ought I paw a pittle pirdy," its impersonal metallic voice said.
"Umm..." Bri said from under the heavy robotic cartoon cat "...I thought Tweety said that..."
Tiberius tackled the cat and wrestled with it on the floor. Mxy meanwhile floated into the room the robot came from. "I wonder if Spongebob Squarepants is somewhere in there..."
"FOR GOD'S SAKE, NO!" Leslie yelled, using her robust powerful lungs to full capacity. "I HATE Spongebob! Don't you dare making him show up!"
Mxy turned to Leslie, disgusted. "SPONGES ARE PEOPLE TOO!"
Tiberius emerged from the floor with a few scratches on him and a metallic head under his arm. He didn't look happy.
Ty opened his mouth to say something. "Wait!" Mxy interrupted. "I still don't know how to write you..."
"MICK!" Leslie yelled. "Can you stop this and take the situation seriously for a moment? That cat could have killed someone!"
"Oh, calm down! You're all gonna be alright, mama..."
Leslie looked at Brianna. "I thought this guy was cured?"
Brianna looked at Mxy. "Now that I think about it... Wasn't your therapy supposed to last for at least another year?"
"It did," Mxy smiled.
"It's only been about a few months, Mick..." Brianna said softly.
"Not from where I'm standing, pittle pirdy." Mxy smiled again, and small wrinkles formed on the corner of his mouth, under his new beard.
"What... do you mean?" Bri asked, regretting it instantly.
"Think in the fourth dimension, Marty!" Doctor Emmett Brown said. Then he turned back into Tiberius. "That was... unpleasant," he said.
"Mick..." Having been forced to watch Back to the Future Part 1 a while back, and noticing a few details of Mxy's new look, Brianna came to a strange conclusion she wouldn't reach if she was thinking about a normal person... "Are you saying you're from the future?"
Mxy laughed sardonically. "No, my dear Brianna, no..." Mxy said, as Bri sighed in relief. "I'm FFFFFROOOOM THE FUUUUTUUUREEE!!!
"That's what I..." Bri began. "Never mind."
Leslie rolled her eyes. "Ok, I'm not even gonna ask how that's even possible..." "...my powers are based on perceptions, if I can convince myself I'm in the past then I am..." "...but assuming it is, WHY would you come back here?"
Mxy shrugged. "I was bored. I missed the good ole days. So I came back!"
"Is that all?" Bri asked.
"Yep!"
"...what about Shirley?" Brianna said.
"Oh, she's just..." Mxy took a pause. "She's okay, she just decided she was gonna stay back there... I mean, forward there... Man, time is CONFUSING!"
"People." Tiberius said. "Robotic animals."
"Right, right..." Bri replied. "We'll talk about this later, Mick... We need to focus on the robots now."
"No," Ty said, "I mean there's a horde a robotic animals coming towards us right now."
Bri looked at the direction Ty was pointing at. "Oh."
As everyone assumed fight positions, Mxy sat back on the air and took a smoke from the chocolate sausage he was holding.
"Mxy! You're not gonna fight?!" Someone asked. I don't care who at this point.
"OH, RELAX! Like I said: You're all gonna be alright!"
Meanwhile, the horde of animals was about to stomp the Vanguardians, and Mxy didn't move a finger...
