Description Here's a long overdue request for one of my watchers and good friends, ! For her next request, she asked me to draw a scene for one of her "Greatest OC's" Stories, A Better Band.

Tgoc's S2E6- A better band(Somewhere in Muppetville, in a talent show, little Emmet Otter was singing a song onstage as his family some Muppets from the Muppet show and the oc’s watched from the backstage)Thunder: Hm, nice kid.Generous: (To Alice Otter) Your son’s pretty good at singing.Alice Otter: Why thank you Miss Crystal.(Once Emmet finished his song everyone applauded, and he went in the backstage)Alice Otter: Bravo my child, bravo!!!! (Hugs him)Emmet Otter: Why thank you mum. I wish my Pa was there….Generous: Good job little guy you were great out there!Rizzo the Rat: Way to go kid!!!!Pepe the King Prawn: Way to go, okay!(Suddenly a door was slammed open by a brown stoat wearing sunglasses followed by a weasel, a lizard, a snake and a catfish sending Pepe and Rizzo flying. Rizzo fell inside a garbage pin and Pepe got hit in a pole right in his head and batteries (You guys probably guess where I mean). Everyone who saw the animal gang gasped in shock, except from the oc’s who looked at the confused)Alice Otter: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band?Rowlf the dog: (Growls at them)Terence: (Hisses at them)Chuck Stoat: What was that I heard? Your son’s signing’s good? HA! I got news flash for you Mrs. Otter. Today, we’ll win in that talent show.Stanley Weasel: Yeah, we done it once we can do it again!(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band laugh)Generous: Again? What is he talking about?Kermit the frog: I’ll tell you later.Chuck Stoat: But in the meantime, it’s showtime. (He and his band go onstage)Emmet Otter: We’re gonna loose to them again….Generous: Now, now, we don’t know that yet. Maybe they’re bad at singing.Fozzie Bear: You don’t know Generous. These guys are a famous band. They’re famous for a reason!Pepe the King prawn: How about we’ll watch okay?Generous: I agree.,(Everyone watched as the Riverbottom Nightmare Band went on stage and started singing)Riverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵We take what we want We do anything that we wish We got no respect For animal, birdy, or fishStanley Weasel: 🎵The grass does not grow On the places where we stop and standChuck Stoat: 🎵 Riverbottom Nightmare BandRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵We know we're a messStanley Weasel: 🎵Our type does not like to be cleanRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵We don't brush our teethStanley Weasel: 🎵'Cause our toothache can help us stay meanRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵We don't wish to learnStanley Weasel: 🎵But we hate what we don't understandChuck Stoat: 🎵 RiverbottomRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵When you see us comin' You better start a-runnin' We're always startin' trouble And we're happiest when things are outta hand Rivers are for boilin' Parties are for spoilin' We either like to sit and pout Or else go out and terrorize our landChuck Stoat: 🎵Riverbottom Nightmare BandRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵 We laugh in your faceStanley Weasel: 🎵 Or we practice our growl and our sneerRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵 We break up your placeStanley Weasel: 🎵 We are dangerous when we are nearRiverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵 And when we are done with our songStanley Weasel: 🎵 Who will get the biggest hand? Who?Chuck Stoat: 🎵Riverbottom Nightmare Band!Riverbottom Nightmare Band: 🎵Riverbottom Nightmare Band!(As they finished this song Chuck chuckled as the audience started clapping)Generous: Oh, they’re good…..Fozzie Bear: Told ya!Thunder: I still don’t understand how can they be famous? They aren’t nice at all…..Announcer: Coming up next, the Electric Mayhem.Dr. Teeth: Oh, we’re up.(He and his band grabbed their instruments and headed onstage)Generous: Good luck!Emmet Otter: Oh boy, I don’t think they’ll win….Kermit the frog: Don’t worry, maybe they will win the show. I know them for years, and they were good musicians so, I don’t think the Riverbottom Nightmare Band have any chance at beating them.Generous: You know, Kermit’s right. Maybe they’re better than the critter band.Thunder: Let’s find out.(Once on stage the Electric Mayhem started playing their instruments and singing)Dr. Teeth: 🎵Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting starsSgt.

Third Place….. Emmet Otter.Alice Otter: (Claps) Well done Emmet. I’m proud of you!Emmet Otter: Thanks I guess….Howard Snake: I knew he’ll end up in the third place.Stanley Weasel: (Whispering) Hey Chuck, you think we’re gonna loose?Chuck Stoat: I don’t think so, If we can beat the Otter family we can beat those hippies as well.Announcer: Second place…..Chuck Stoat: (Whispers) Say their name….Announcer: …. The Riverbottom Nightmare Band!Riverbottom Nightmare Band: WHAT?!Chuck Stoat: “Second”?!Announcer: And first place…... The Electric Mayhem!(The oc’s, the Muppets and the Electric Mayhem cheered as the crowd clapped and cheered. However, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band stared at the Electric Mayhem in both anger and shock. Later, the oc’s and the Muppets were wondering around Toontown with Lizzie, Sun Winter and the Solid Foam)Generous: Wow, you guys really thrashed it.Sun Winter: I saw the talent show on TV, your number was great!Dr. Teeth: Why thank you Sunny.(Suddenly, a beaten-up jalopy stopped by and splashed water at everyone)Thunder: WHAT THE HECK!?(Then the driver, who revealed to be the Riverbottom Nightmare Band came out)Chuck Stoat: (Sarcastically) Oh, sorry, did we get you? Our bad.(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band started laughing as Generous and Sun glared at them knowing that they’re not good people, or puppets at this point)Lizzie: Aggro-much?Kermit the Frog: What do you guys want from me?Stanley Weasel: That’s nothing to deal with you at the moment.Chuck Stoat: Exactly, it’s this band we’re here for.Electric Mayhem: What?Lips: What about us?Chuck Stoat: We just want you to know that me and my band are the ones that should have won first place, not you!Dr. Teeth: Sorry about that, but everyone liked our performance as much as they liked yours. Besides, I'm pretty sure lots of people liked your number, so don't be so upset, cats.Howard Snake: We’re the onesssss they should be focus at! We’re famousssss, the world lovessssss us!Sgt. Floyd Pepper: Love you? Well, my theory is that the reason why the world love you guys is because they don’t know who you really are!!!!!Animal: Bad band!!!! BAD BAND!!!!!!!!!Sun Winter: Exactly, there a lot of good bands out there, and these guys are one of the bests. Don't think the world revolves around you.Thunder: Yeah, you guys aren't the only band in the world. And the world loves these hippies. In other words, the Electric Mayhem are ten times better than you, you little critters!!!!!Chuck Stoat: (Laughs hysterically) A better band?! If you say they’re better, then let me tell ya one thing. Me and my band are the ones who win at the talent contest and prove to that Otter family how much of big losers they are. (Points at the Electric Mayhem) Which is what we should have shown to you guys.(Everyone gasps at what they’ve heard about what Chuck said about the band but most importantly the Otter family)Clifford: (To Chuck) You know what? We don’t care if you like us, because we don’t like you!Chuck Stoat: WHAT?!Clifford: You’re a bad person with an ugly heart and we don’t give a flying feather about what you think.Chuck Stoat: Listen up you little-(Before Chuck says anything else, a group of journalists appear)Chuck Stoat: Excuse us, we’re guessing they just wanna talk to us about our music number.(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band approached the journalists, but get shocked when they saw the journalists run pass them and went to the Electric Mayhem)Thunder: Alright, guys. Let’s leave this hippie band do their job. (Leaves with everyone else)Lizzie: (Sees Chuck and his band glaring at the Electric Mayhem before living. She gets worried and talks to the oc’s) Hey, can I talk to you for one second?Generous: Sure.Lizzie: I want you and your friends to keep an eye on the Riverbottom Nightmare Band, I feel they’re gonna do something very bad.Generous: Are you sure?Twistar: Well, indeed I saw they’re bad people but-Lizzie: No, it’s not that. It’s just I can’t help but notice how they looked at the Electric Mayhem. I’m pretty sure they have their eyes on them just like they did with the Otter family and Kermit.Generous: Why with Kermit?Lizzie: Because his uncle Doc Bullfrog helped the Otter family and now that band have him as their target. So, can you please make sure they won’t be after the Electric Mayhem too? They’re my friends… I don’t want them to get hurt in those critters’ paws.Generous: Don’t worry Lizzie, I will….Thunder: Don’t worry that much, girl, I’m pretty sure that critter band will get over it.(But he was wrong, because later Chuck Stoat was expressing his anger by destroying some objects that reminded him the Electric Mayhem)Chuck Stoat: He can't get away that easily! Who does that stupid hippie think he is? Does he and his band have any idea of who they’re dealing with?! After all those years, and we manage to beat that Otter family and a few others, and now WE CAN’T BEAT THAT BAND?! WE’RE THE ONES THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE THEIR EYES ON!!!!! NOT SOME STUPID, CHILDISH, GOODIE-GOODIE HIPPIE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!Stanley Weasel: Yeah, you thought we would've turned out better.Chuck Stoat: Yeah, no kidding!Fred Lizard: Well, it's better you're takin' out your anger on these things instead of the real Electric Mayhem, huh?Chuck Stoat: (Has an idea) Yes, of course! (Chuckles) That’s it! Why wasting my time on those things when I actually can give the real Electric Mayhem a piece of my mind! We'll get rid of the Electric Mayhem. Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!Howard Snake: How are we ssssssupposed to do that?Chuck Stoat: Now listen, I have a plan. Tomorrow there’s gonna be the new show, so here’s what we’ll gotta do……(Later that night, after the Muppet show, the Electric Mayhem started going home unaware they’ve been stalked by the Riverbottom Nightmare Band. When the Electric Mayhem got home, they went to bed, feeling tired)Lips: Man, what a day……Zoot: You can say that again…. We win at that Talent show first place, and we made some enemies…..Janice: Don’t worry Zoot, like everything will be alright.Animal: Tired……..Sgt. Floyd Pepper: (Pets Animal on the head) There you go, Animal. We've had quite an adventure today...Dr. Teeth: (Yawns) ...but tomorrow will be a better day. Goodnight everybody…Electric Mayhem: Goodnight.(Once they’re all went to sleep, everything seemed calm, until the Riverbottom Nightmare Band came inside the Electric Mayhem’s room without making any sounds. Once in, Howard Snake closed the door, which made the Electric Mayhem wake up. Then in the darkness, a series of animal sounds, screams and breaking stuff was heard. Luna, Kylie, Mickey and Balthazar woke up from the sounds and went to the Electric Mayhem’s room to see if they’re alright. But when they opened the door, the room was a mess and the windows were wide open, making them gasp in shock and horror. The next day, the oc’s and Sun Winter decided to go to the Muppet Theatre to warn Kermit about the Riverbottom Nightmare Band going after the Electric Mayhem)Evelyn: Are you sure about this?Generous: Of course, I am. I wanna make sure my friends are safe.Sun Winter: Then let’s do this.(They open the door and come in the backstage, only to find the Muppets panicking)Generous: Hey, calm down everybody, what’s the matter?Kermit the Frog: (Sees her) Generous, thank goodness you came. We really need your help right now!Silver: What’s the matter?Kermit the Frog: Well, I was in the backstage minding my own business, wondering where the Electric Mayhem would come, and then Luna, Kylie, Mickey and Balthazar came and told me this…. THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM WE’RE KIDNAPPED!!!!!!The oc’s and Sun: WHAT?!Kermit the frog: Right now, we’re trying to look for them. I had no other option but to cancel their numbers for now until we find them.Generous: Don’t worry, we’ll help you find them.Sun Winter: Let’s go.(Later, that day, somewhere, Chuck Stoat lights up a candle)Chuck Stoat: For once you are right, hippie. Tomorrow will be a better day... (Blows off the match) ...for us.(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band laughed. It revealed that they were inside an abandoned building at night, with the Electric Mayhem tied up upside down)Stanley Weasel: Look, we are all laughing all together. Too bad you can't help your strip.Fred Lizard: Yeah, but we see you are all tied up.(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band laugh again)Chuck Stoat: We laugh in your faces again. And tomorrow we are going to be the best band the world has ever seen. Soon, no one will believe you even existed!(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band laugh again)Dr. Teeth: You won't get away with this.Sgt. Floyd Pepper: Just wait until everyone finds that out, man! You’ll be in big trouble!Howard Snake: Just watch us, hippie.Chuck Stoat: Let us now get out of this dump.Stanley Weasel: Yeah, let's.Chuck Stoat: (To the Electric Mayhem) Who is the losers now, losers?Howard Snake: Yeah, loserssss.(The Riverbottom Nightmare Band laughed, and started leaving as the Electric Mayhem glared at them while Animal growled)Pop-Eyed catfish: (Makes his fins look like an L on his forehead) Losers! (Laughs and slams the door)Zoot: What do we do now, man?D. Teeth: Don’t worry, our friends are probably out there looking for us, they’re gonna rescue us!(However, due to the way the catfish slammed the door, the candle fell down and lighted up a piece of paper, putting it on fire)Dr. Teeth: (Gets worried) Unless, of course, we die first…...(Outside of the building, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band were about to leave, until Stanley noticed the fire)Stanley Weasel: Um, Chuck…. I think we accidentally set the house on fire.Chuck Stoat: Good!Stanley, Fred, Howard and Catfish: “Good”?Chuck Stoat: Of course! Don’t you see? The more these guys are no longer here the better for us!!!! (Laughs maniacally)(The rest of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band laughed along as they left. Meanwhile, at the Muppet Theatre, the oc’s were helping the Muppets with the help of the toons and the humans and still no luck…)Thunder: We searched everywhere, and still no sign of them….Generous: We can’t give up now, we gotta keep looking. (Suddenly she had a feeling that something bad is happening to her friends) I wonder…. (She went up straight to Belle from “Beauty and the Beast”) Belle, can I borrow your mirror?Belle: Sure. (Gives her the magic mirror)Generous: (To the mirror) Show me where the Electric Mayhem are.(The mirror glowed and showed the Electric Mayhem tied up upside down while the building was on fire)Generous: (Gasps) Everybody come here!!!!! I found out where they are!!!!!(Everyone comes and looked at what Generous saw and gasped)Silver: Oh no, it seems they’re in trouble!Sun Winter: Who would do such a thing?Clifford: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band! I should have known that they’ll do something like this…Kermit the Frog: They can get away with breaking traffic laws, destroying merchandise and a few other things, but this is beyond limits!!!!!Thunder: Who cares about those jerks when we have friends to save!!!!!Sun Winter: Thunder’s right. If only we knew where they are…Bong: Generous! You can make a portal with your magic! That way we’ll get there as fast as we can and save them!Generous: Well, I never tried that. But I’ll give it a try. (To the mirror) Show me the building they’re in. (The mirror shows a picture of the building)Little Miss Crazy: What are you doing?Generous: It’s too dangerous to go there, if we get burned alive it’s over. I wanted to find a safe spot. (Generous shoots magic at the mirror glass and then creates a portal outside of the building) Wish me and my friends good luck.Sun Winter: Hold on, I’m going with you!Digit: So, do we!Clifford: They’re our friends and we’re not giving up on them!(The oc’s, Sun Winter and the Solid Foam get to the portal and find themselves outside of the building as the portal closed)Thunder: We made it!Generous: Let’s go team!(They approach the building and Thunder breaks the door down)Thunder: Come on everybody!!!!!!!!(Inside, the Electric Mayhem were struggle to release themselves from the robes, when suddenly Thunder broke down the door and the oc’s, Sun and the Solid Foam came in)Thunder: Did somebody ordered a race car?Electric Mayhem: THUNDER!Dr. Teeth: I knew you guys would come!Sun Winter: That’s right.Evelyn: (Bites the rope and the Electric Mayhem fell down)(Once free, the two Muppet bands, the oc’s and Sun came outside of the room to see the whole building was on fire)Sun Winter: What do we do now?Thunder: Climb on me guys! This ride might get hot!(Everyone climbs on Thunder)Thunder: HERE WE GO!!!!!!!! (Starts driving fast)(Suddenly, some wood planks fell making Thunder stop abruptly, accidentally sending Terence flying)Generous: Terence!(Terence falls to a chandelier)Generous: Get the chandelier swinging, Terence. We'll grab you from the second-floor balcony!Sun Winter: Let's do this.Thunder: Heads down everyone. Here we go!!!!(Thunder starts driving as Terence starts swinging the chandelier. Then the oc’s arrived at the second floor)Generous: Terence! Grab my hoof!(Terence grabs her hoof and Generous pulls him to safety. Everyone then comes out of the building on a big leap, screaming as Generous used her magic to open a portal to the Muppet Theatre. They went inside the portal and landed on the floor. Everyone came to see if they’re alright)Thunder: (Gets dizzy but recovers) We… did it!(Everyone started cheering as the oc’s and their friends landed on the floor)Dr. Teeth: Hey everybody.Luna: Oh Lips! (Hugs Lips) You’re alright! I thought I’ll never see you again!Lips: Don’t worry, Luna. I’m alright. (Luna kisses him on the cheek making him blush)Thunder: Boy, what a rescue.Sun Winter: Indeed.Dr. Teeth: (To Generous) Generous? Thank you for saving me and my band….Generous: (Smiles) No problem.(The next day, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band were wondering around Muppetville happy that they got rid of the Electric Mayhem or so they thought)Chuck Stoat: Now, we them gone, nothing can stop us now! We’re the best band now!Stanley Weasel: But we still have the frog and the Otter family.Chuck Stoat: We’ll deal with them later. (Gets a newspaper and reads it and then gets furious) WHAT!? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?Howard Snake: What’s the matter Chuck?Chuck Stoat: LOOK! (Shows them the newspaper having a picture of the Electric Mayhem and the oc’s titled “Oc’s save famous band”) The princess and her friends had to go in and ruin our plans!!!!Howard Snake: (To the catfish) It wassss your fault!Pop-Eyed Catfish: No, yours!Chuck Stoat: (Points to Stanley) Yours!Stanley Weasel: Your fault!Fred Lizard: Yours!(They all growl at each other before starting to fight physically)The end

Wasn't really sure what to do for it at first, that is until I saw this scene from the story and decided to replicate that in my style!




This is for you Lightning, sorry that this one took so long. Hopefully you'll enjoy it friend.
