Moe

Moe is the class bully at Calvin’s school. He is both cruel and incredibly dimwitted, but needs only his large stature to intimidate other kids. Moe’s usual target is Calvin, whom he constantly shoves and steals money from, while also calling him names, such as “Twinky” and “Shrimp.” There is apparently no one in the school who has the gall to stand up to Moe, who somehow manages to continue bullying without the teachers’ notice.

THE "END REALITY" SCHEME


 * "Well, well! So the sissy finally shows some backbone!"      -Moe, surprised and pleased that Calvin chooses to fight back  

 Moe is first seen harrassing Calvin yet again while at school, in an attempt to extort money from him once more; when Calvin refuses to fall victim to Moe's usual bullying, however, Moe simply shoves him to the ground and walks away, satisfied. Suddenly, Moe is taken completely by surprise as he is abruptly kicked from behind. Moe turns and sees that Calvin has gotten back on his feet, and this time seems to be thoroughly angry, claiming that he has had enough of Moe's torment. Pleasantly surprised at Calvin's sudden willingness to fight back, Moe accepts the challenge and prepares to engage in a fistfight; however, he receives another shock when he sees just how infuriated and completely unafraid Calvin is, as the boy suddenly leaps forward and tackles Moe, slamming him against a locker. Moe grabs Calvin by the shirt and prepares to throw a punch— but then the fight is stopped as soon as it starts, when Miss Wormwood enters.

 The two boys then see that they have indeed drawn a crowd. As everyone disperses, Miss Wormwood scolds the both of them for their conduct, Moe in particular looking guilty as he realizes that he has finally been caught in the act of tormenting other students. He becomes puzzled as Calvin's anger does not subside, and the boy expresses extreme frustration over both Moe's actions and the injustice of Miss Wormwood assigning blame to him. Calvin then leaves the school campus, refusing to come back when called— much to Moe's confusion, having never seen Calvin in such a serious temper before; Miss Wormwood then sends Moe to the principal's office.

 ONSLAUGHT ON YOSHI'S ISLAND 

 Hours later, Moe's detention with the principal finally ends, and he leaves the school. However, Moe is suddenly grabbed by a large hostile alien while he is walking home, at which point he becomes completely baffled. While trying to break free of the beast's grip, Moe sees several more grotesque monsters and aliens standing before him— their apparent leader sitting in a floating chair and offering to spare Moe's life, if he provides the location of their enemy. Moe assumes that they are talking about Calvin, in that they refer to the boy as Moe's enemy also; upon realizing this, Moe sees that he has a critical decision to make. He has bullied Calvin on countless occasions, but today he seemed to have finally gone too far— and though he's had no problems extorting money from the boy or simply pounding him on occasion, handing him over to hostile aliens for his extermination would be a truly evil act to commit.

 Moe tells the aliens that he has no idea where Calvin is ( which is the truth anyway) but also makes clear that even if he did know Calvin's location, he would not tell them. At this point Moe is ready to suffer the consequences of helping Calvin for once, if only to make up for what he did earlier; however, a shadowed figure suddenly arrives and stops the aliens from annihilating Moe, by telling them that he can provide Calvin's location for them. The aliens then take Moe prisoner, as they board their spaceship and take off.

  After a long while of apparent battle, judging by the noise coming from outside, Moe is suddenly bound by the arms and left dangling out of the underside of the ship; Moe quickly realizes that he is a hostage, as he sees Calvin in the water below— wearing a cape and hood, for some reason. The alien leader is heard on an intercom, threatening to release Moe and send him plunging into the water to drown if Calvin does not surrender, to which Calvin replies that he may need to think it over. Moe is then released, still bound by the arms, hitting the ocean surface and slowly sinking as the aliens and monsters continue to battle Calvin; however, he eventually sees Susie Derkins and a tiger coming to his rescue, and he is successfully brought back to dry land, freed from his bondages.

 The battle soon ends, the aliens having suddenly disappeared, according to Calvin and his tiger. They all venture to the nearby island and build a fire, as day turns to night. Moe notably ceases his usual treatment toward Calvin at this point, taking into account his earlier reaction(s) and the fact that the boy and his friends just saved him. Later on, Moe notices an airplane approaching and informs Calvin<span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">— but as it happens, the plane evidently belongs to allies of Calvin, and the four of them are rescued from the island. Moe tags along as Calvin and his allies take the plane back to its castle.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"> Moe later becomes even more confused upon the group's meeting with two tall aliens, who refer to Calvin as the Earth's leader. Finding that he can no longer endure the madness, Moe suddenly snaps at everyone, demanding answers regarding what exactly is going on; recklessness temporarily returns to Moe at this point, as he threatens to punch someone if he is not brought up to date. However, he finds that he has underestimated who he is talking to, seeing as the two aliens in the room are evidently the leaders of a vast empire<span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">—and one of them swiftly berates Moe's conduct and sheer ignorance of who is truly in charge. After hearing this, Moe decides to step away from the group to reflect on what he has just been told; after a while, however, he is suddenly jarred back into reality, when he hears that an extremely dangerous alien piloting a huge and lethal space vessel is currently speeding straight toward the planet.

However, a reaction is finally triggered when a peculiar-looking robot flies past everyone and promptly fires two missiles at Calvin, blasting him off of the ground; Moe becomes perplexed and questions these actions<span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">, seeing as Calvin appeared to be on good terms with the robot. Hobbes makes a point of suggesting that the robot is now under hostile control, acting on "Zim's" orders. After hearing this, as well as the news that both cannons protecting the planet from the Massive have been destroyed, Moe now has good reason to be visibly anxious.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"> <span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Eventually, a plan of evacuation is set in motion, as more apparent allies (a blue hedgehog and other furry animals) arrive to help battle the Massive and keep its pilot distracted; Moe joins everyone else as they head back into the castle and make their way to a secret path leading underground. After a long while of running, and in spite of hearing from Mario that the Massive has suddenly started to descend straight toward their location, Moe finds that he simply cannot run anymore, and collapses. However, Calvin refuses to let him lie on the ground exhausted, and begins half-dragging, half-carrying Moe through the passageway himself.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"> <span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Soon afterward, they both hear an explosion up ahead and pick up the pace, so as to catch up with the others; upon arriving at the scene, however, both Moe and Calvin catch a glimpse of a large tractor beam shining in from above<span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">, which abruptly shifts to their location. Surprised and confused, the two boys slowly begin ascending as the Massive starts to beam them aboard<span lang="EN" sab="717" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">— but suddenly they are both pushed out of the way, and after landing back on solid ground and looking up, Moe and Calvin realize that the princess had saved them by letting herself be taken instead. The vessel in the sky then disappears, along with the wormhole that had warped it away. The danger appears to be over... but the group is now one person short. <h5 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Aftermath

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">It slowly dawns on Moe that the situation may have ended differently had he not stumbled and slowed down minutes ago; the princess might not have needed to sacrifice herself the way she did. Everyone else is frantic and worried as they regroup, but Calvin's reaction to the incident borders on absolute rage and anxiety, particularly over the prospect of Peach being dead. Moe observes and listens to the speculation that follows: Calvin's idea of "home" has been altered, along with his perception of his true parentage—which explains why he is so upset over Peach's abduction—and he who may have been responsible for this, along with the existence of the attacking aliens from the island, goes by the name of Eggman Nega.

The abrupt arrival of the robot who had attacked Calvin earlier, pulled from the Massive by an alien named Skoodge, diverts everyone's attention; the robot seems to have been knocked out, so the group drags it back to the castle, where they all try to figure out what to do next. Still somewhat confused by everything that has been happening, all Moe can do is listen—but not without a stinging sense of guilt, over how little he's been able to do since he has been dragged into all of this, and the pain he ultimately caused Calvin; the boy's eventual furious outburst at everyone makes it clear to Moe that his daily bullying from the past was only a contributing factor in just how much torment Calvin had experienced for years. And now, he's even lost the new potential mother figure in his life. At this point, Moe could not feel more like the "colossal jerk" that Calvin accuses him of being.

All of a sudden, the unconscious robot reawakens, and immediately begins attacking everyone, catching them all off-guard. Moe gets himself out of the line of fire as some of the more heroic members of this alliance try to fight back against the robot. Debating on whether or not he should help the group in their struggle, Moe tries to figure out what good he could possibly do against this formidable enemy.



However, the moment simply presents itself, when the Tallest are in danger of being killed—and the rabbit named Cream is seen trying to defend them, only to be smacked aside by the emotionless robot. Moe, who now sees this as going too far, steps in and taps the robot from behind, deliberately getting it to turn around so that he can send it flying with a single blow to the head.

Moe's attack is what starts causing the robot to short-circuit, as it begins to emit sparks from the back of its head by smashing it against stone. With the heroes now having more of an upper hand in the fight, Moe gets a sense of accomplishment, having put his strength to noble use for the first time. As the robot eventually falls into a state of defeat, he joins the others in finishing it off, but Cream steps in and defends the robot, reminding Moe that it had apparently been on their side once before. And sure enough, the rabbit ultimately manages to bring the robot back to its good personality—including absurd and nonsensical behavior, evidently.

After the dust has settled, the group is now faced with a strategy that they must devise, involving the rescue of Peach and the defeat of Eggman Nega, who seems to be threatening all of reality. As they establish contact with another one of their allies, the group decides that they must reopen the wormhole that sent the Massive away and enter it themselves—which Moe volunteers to take part in. He explains his reasoning to Calvin, making it clear that he intends to rectify his past mistakes, and Calvin seems to approve. More planning follows, and soon enough, the alliance has their long-term tactics in place—including those being carried out by the group on the other end of communications (one of their number being a purple-haired girl who momentarily grabs Moe's interest).



Soon, the wormhole is re-summoned, and Moe joins the selection of heroes going in to rescue Peach; this includes Calvin, with whom Moe hopes to somehow make amends over the course of this mission.

THE POCKET DIMENSION CRUSADE
Upon entering, the group looks around (with the wormhole promptly disappearing behind them) and they see absolutely nothing; simply a pitch-black empty space all around them. Moe is stunned, wondering just where they have ended up—when suddenly the area becomes engulfed in brightness. As the light clears, before them lies a very elaborate landscape, depicting a vast, green field with different paths and maze-like formations. The hedgehog seems to recognize this place, but it had just been clear to everyone that they were standing in an empty void previously; the alien named Skoodge then informs them all that, according to his scanner, they are actually in a "pocket dimension" of some kind. Moe listens as they discuss what the area itself is doing, and it becomes clear that this pocket dimension has a way of changing its environment based on who has been sent here. Moe then speaks up, suggesting that the landscape may change again at any moment, this time feeding on the recollections of somebody else in their group—and that this pattern could continue, since there are several of them inside this void.
 * "If I hadn't fallen over back there, she might not have been taken. If she's alive, I want to help get her out." -Moe, volunteering to help save Princess Peach

They all try to figure out where the princess could be in this pocket dimension, but it is Mario who has the ability to somehow see for himself, simply by closing his eyes; Moe watches as Mario looks for Peach, but becomes surprised when he suddenly yells in despair and opens his eyes again, stating that the princess is being tortured by her furious captor. They all agree that they should start making their way through this void with all due haste, and hope that they can get to Peach in time.

Minutes later, the group is ambushed by a "Doctor Robotnik" (as identified by Sonic), piloting a hovercraft armed with a large wrecking ball; presumably this is only a figment brought on by the pocket dimension, and not the actual foe himself—but this does not stop everyone from jumping into action, immediately fighting back against this enemy. Moe takes the opportunity to throw a punch the moment his turn comes, and it is enough to send the Doctor and his hovercraft spiraling uncontrollably through the air, allowing the rest of the team to finish defeating him. Sure enough, the vessel soon explodes, and the man runs away upon landing back on solid ground. However, just as victory is claimed, the pocket dimension abruptly begins shifting its form (just as Moe figured it would), this time becoming a landscape from Mario's past.

Their journey continues, as Moe follows the rest of his allies through the new environment; after sliding down a flagpole, he joins the others in catching their breath, stopping for a few moments so that they can figure out how much closer they are to reaching the Massive. Unfortunately, Skoodge's scanner does not seem to be able to specify this, and the fault appears to lie with the pocket dimension and its interference with the scanner's capabilities. Moe takes this time to wonder how they'll be able to find Peach under these circumstances, and he looks over and sees Calvin talking with Sonic further away; he seems in a better mood now, as the hedgehog appears to be convincing him not to lose hope.

After a while, Moe is startled by GIR's sudden outburst, yelling to his "master" farther down the road; they all look, and they see an alien who looks similar to Skoodge, probably from the same race. However, Moe quickly learns that this alien is in fact Zim, whom they had been fighting back in the Mushroom Kingdom and Moe had simply never seen in person until now. Before anyone else can act, Mario is the one who immediately leaps forward and angrily sprints toward Zim, dodging laser fire and tackling the alien in midair, slamming him into the ground. From a distance, the group watches as both fighters suddenly take off—flying low to the ground and away from everyone else—via the alien's jet pack. The group is about to run after them, when out of nowhere, the same aliens & monsters who had kidnapped Moe and made him a hostage for Calvin arrive and block the heroes' path.

Clearly they are ready for a fight, and once more, they demand the surrender of Spaceman Spiff. Moe notices the pocket dimension's landscape changing again, and the hedgehog takes this time to throw a "chaos emerald" to everyone. Moe catches his, though not quite sure what it is meant to do—but there is little time to speculate, as the alien horde promptly begins attacking. Moe faces off against a large, multi-limbed alien, and throws one of his signature punches at the creature's leg, which bends backward but does little else to harm the alien; its other foot lashes out at Moe, who receives the full force of the kick and is sent sprawling on the ground—taking in the fact that he cannot simply use a single punch to quickly subdue his target this time, as he is typically used to.

Moe is forced to act on his feet, as he hastily dives out of the way of an aerial attack from the multi-limbed creature; he quickly gets back up, just in time to sidestep one claw attack, and then another, followed instantly by a third which catches Moe off-guard and sends him flying once more. He finds himself colliding with Skoodge, sending him sprawling toward his own opponent, before getting back on his feet. Moe and Skoodge stand back-to-back, facing their enemies, as they promptly come up with a plan; after a quick nod, they both spring into action—with Moe dashing toward the multi-limbed alien, diving through the gap between its long legs, coming out on the other side, and instantly jumping into the air, ready to lay a powerful punch with the help of the chaos emerald in his possession. The attack plan succeeds, as the emerald gives Moe enough power to send his foe flying back toward Skoodge's enemy (a blob-like creature), goaded into lunging forward and devouring the multi-limbed alien instead of Skoodge. Moe watches the blob digest its mistakened prey in a matter of seconds—but in doing so, nearly gets trampled by the giant monster chasing Calvin & Hobbes; he is promptly pulled up off the ground by Skoodge, who flies through the air using jets of his own.

Upon landing, Moe and Skoodge look back and see the landscape on fire, and Calvin & Hobbes trapped by their giant opponent. Moe tells Skoodge that they should try to help, and they both start running toward the scene; however, another foe arrives to obstruct their path—this one tall and green, swinging claw-like fists that nearly hit Moe, who ducks and throws a punch of his own. However, the alien quickly recovers and kicks Moe backward. The creature is instead blasted away by Skoodge's weaponry, just as Moe returns. Then they both turn and see that the blob has found them again, this time using its own shapeshifting abilites to become several snowman-esque monsters. Moe is lifted off the ground by one of the snow creatures, but he uses his fist to relieve the creature of its head, which explodes into white powder—causing its body to start running back and forth, trying to find its target. Moe & Skoodge spend a short while fending off these snow monsters, until finally, GIR comes flying in from his own battle, colliding with all of their opponents and making them explode entirely.

However, as a last ditch effort, one of the snow explosions swiftly becomes the blob once more, which sloshes forward and grabs Moe, startling him and quickly dragging him away. Moe looks up and sees Skoodge lashing out a PAK leg for him to grab, which he does, and before long, Moe is pulled out of the blob's grasp, and the blob is then vaporized by GIR.

At this time, the battle appears to be ending all around, as the last of the aliens is seen being lifted into the air and threatened by Hobbes. Moe, Skoodge, & GIR make their way back to the group as the surviving members of the alien horde are abruptly transported away by an outside force. Wondering at first if perhaps the battle was won too easily, the heroes decide that for now they should not worry, and that they ought to keep moving. However, Calvin reminds everyone that Mario is not among them—and in the moment, Moe suddenly recalls Mario being locked in combat with Zim, and now they seem to be long gone. The group becomes nervous, as they realize that Mario is now completely on his own somewhere in this pocket dimension.
