Toilet Plunger Man and the Evil Dr. Octoman

Posted on by

It all started one day back at the headquarters in New York where the amazing Toilet Plunger Man was. It looks like its time for another mission, but this would be no ordinary mission. It would be a under water mission.He would need a partner for this adventure.So the lab gave him a platisour only the coolest pet ever! This was a platypus mixed with a dinosaur! He’s a very good swimmer , and a very amazing fighter.His job was to help Toilet Plunger Man on his unusual journey into the depths of the sea.

Later that day, they set off to start their journey. Once they were at the right spot of the ocean,they dove under. There they saw Octomans hideout, but there were guards surrounding it!

“Looks like we’ll have to take them out,” said Toilet Plunger Man.

All of the sudden there was a ugh fight! Bam! Crash! Bang! Toilet Plunger Man, and his pet platisour perry, defeated the guards! Then they went inside.There they were inside Octomans hideout.Then boom goes the dynamite there he was the evil Dr. Octoman. Looks like another fight was about to go begin but it would be harder then they could ever imagine. Then before they new it the evil Doctor Octoman s in a giant robot verso of himself.Octoman hit Toilet Plunger Man right in the head. Then Perry used his tail and cut the robot right in half. Toilet Plunger Man got back up and put the evil Doctor Octoman in handcuffs. He took him back to hadquarters where they locked him up. Toilet Pluger Man decided to keep Perry because of the valuable  lesson he learned… a partner always helps.
