Revenge of the Ex-Boyfriend/Transcript

Pre-My Battle
(The episode opens with Cherry in her bedroom, calling Keith on her phone)

Cherry: Hey there, Keith!

Keith: Oh, hey Cherry! Hope you don't mind, but I've been practicing my rapping in front of a mirror. So, anyway, what's up?

Cherry: I wanted to tell you I'm inviting you with me to a restaurant!

Keith: Wait, where now?

Cherry: Well, my father's friend invited me for some reason.

Keith: Hmm. That's kinda weird.

Cherry: It's my favorite restaurant! I wonder how he knew…Anyways, I wanted to take you as well. I want y'all to meet each other already. He's my uncle!

Keith: Oh boy, nobody told me Daddy Dearest has a brother…In that case, I'd better start working on my evacuation plans in case things don't go so well.

Cherry: Great! Then I'm going to call for a taxi.

(Later, Keith and Cherry arrive at the restaurant to meet Cherry's uncle. But Keith notices that no one else is in there)

Keith: Hey, I thought restaurants were supposed to be packed with customers. Where is everybody?

Cherry: It seems that Uncle is not here yet, so I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick. Wait here, okay?

Keith: Let me take you there. I gotta make sure my girl is safe. Let's just hope no one is there to convince us to join their church...

Cherry: (chuckles) Okay, okay. You can escort me there, my love.

Keith (shyly): You mean the world to me, you know that? So loyal, so pretty, you're everything a guy could ever wish for. I know you'd never cheat on me.

Cherry: I love you too, Keith!

(But then, Cherry notices a strange figure near the bathroom. This figure is oddly familiar, and she immediately knows who it is just by the look on him and the style of his clothing. It is her ex-boyfriend, Tabi)

Cherry: Huh? Tabi? Is that you?!

(Tabi looks up. He leans away from the wall, and gets a glow in his eye. As he speaks, he has a Russian accent.)

Tabi: Zere you are...We finally meet after a year of hiding.

Cherry: So...It was you...You pretended to be my father's friend and lured us into my favorite restaurant...I was wondering how he would know. Ugh...

Tabi: You are foolish as alvays. And who is zis? Your new boyfriend?

Keith: Oh, for sure! The name’s Sprite…Keith Sprite! I’m a rapper who’s been battling opponents to put my skills to the test!

Tabi: (to Cherry) So you already started dating another guy, yet another victim, huh?

Keith: Victim?

(Keith looks at Cherry with a puzzled face, and sees that she looks a bit odd. Her emotions are like a mix of shame and fear. Keith, seeing the love of his life being so uncomfortable, gets filled with confidence. He wants to protect her and show her ex that he won't let him hurt Cherry.)

Keith: Cherry would never hurt me. She's the true love of my life. I've risked life and limb more than a few times just to be with her. During many of our dates, I've sung off against people who stood in our way, especially her dad.

Tabi: Hm. Impressive vork, little dude. I’ve been vatching you for a long time. I've seen ze power of your love towards her. You fought zat bomb guy, zis crazy lemon monster, and a robot vith a computer virus, but unfortunately, zis is all going to end pretty soon, for zis battle is mine, not yours. Leave us alone, Keith. Cherry and I need to have a little chat.

Keith: (sighs) Dammit. Why does everyone want to start crap with us whenever our bladders are full? Cherry, can you bring out the speakers?

Tabi: You do realize zat she is just using you, right?

My Battle
Tabi: Gh…Are you stupid? How do you not understand that she is just using you for her own success?

Keith: Use  me? Cherry would never use me for anything.

Tabi: Hah! Vell, she used me vonce, you know. I used to be a human like you, Keith, but she and her father fooled me and took everything from me. My trust, my feelings, my love, and my heart. I've lost everything! Now look who I am, because of her! I’m just a shell of my former self, with a floating skull and an invisible body.

Keith: But, here's the thing. I've never been used by her. Could Cherry really do something like that? No way! She is what makes my life worth living.

Tabi: Zis is your last chance to leave, I-I von't stop until I get my hands on zat little brat! Leave now or face ze consequences!

Keith: How about we settle this with another song? If I win, you'll have to leave the both of us alone.

Tabi: Alright. Zat's it. I didn't vant it to end zis vay, but you didn't listen. I have no other choice but to kill ze both of you!

Last Chance
(Tabi laughs and pulls out a bomb detonator. He then presses the button, and the bombs in the restaurant instantly explode, and everything then becomes damaged. Cherry gasps and coughs)

Cherry: K-Keith!

Tabi: Hehehe…so, you survived ze explosion, huh? I bet she noticed zat I occupied all tables zat vere near ze explosion...Zat is because I did not vant to hurt innocent people, unlike zis little brat! I vant her dead!

Keith: Oh yeah? Well, it's gonna take more than a few bombs to take us down!

Tabi: You think I’m stupid? I knew she vould bring someone vith her, but you?! She is not going vith you! She vill stay here, and die.

Cherry: Ngh…No, I don't wanna! *cough*

Keith: Don't worry, Cherry. We're gonna get out of here alive, no matter what.

(Keith stands in front of Cherry, hiding her behind his back and getting in Tabi's way.)

Tabi: Vhy von't you get it?! She is a monster pretending to be sweet and cute, but in reality she is a manipulative little…

Keith: No, she’s not! Believe me, I've spent plenty of time with her to know that she has a pure heart, even if she is a demon.

Tabi: Oh? You don’t believe me? Grrrrr…I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! I VILL KILL YOU BOTH HERE AND NOW NO MATTER VHAT!!! JUST TO MAKE ZAT PIECE OF CRAP SHE CALLS HER FATHER FEEL PAIN! JUST DIE!!!
