Traitor Game XVII: We Apologize For the Inconvenience

[Tommy]

***Please don’t post until I give the go ahead***

The Sorceress of Grayskull meditated upon her pyramid throne. Her breathing was slow and melodic. Suddenly she found her very soul being pulled towards infinity. The light surrounded her as she approached a dark lady.

“Hello,” she said cruelly smiling. “I am Ava Moore, Life Coach, Goblyn Queen, and currently Emissary for the Fundamental Forces.”

The Sorceress gasped in shock. Very little was known about the Fundamental Forces beyond that they were infinitely powerful and manipulated things for an unknown reason.

“Well Ava, what message do you wish to relay to me?”

“An issue of ownership has been brought to their attention. Someone has laid claim to your planet, and the Fundamental Forces wish for it to be settled.”

“How?”

“In the traditional manner of these things, a Traitor Game must be hosted.”

“I will have no part in such barbaric proceedings.”

“Well then not only do you forfeit your claim, but you incur a vast cosmic debt which will be paid by the complete eradication of all life on Eternia.”

“If such must be the case…”

Weeks passed while the Sorceress prepared for her upcoming challenge. However circumstances spiraled out of her control in the final days of her preparations. Zodak, the cosmic enforcer, had taken leave of his better judgment and allowed the Snakemen free in his arrogance and vendetta. And Evil-Lynn lead the dread King Hssss straight to Castle Grayskull in a bid to save her own life.

Despite being atop her stronghold the Sorceress could see them. King Hssss looked at her defensive wall of green energy maliciously. “Let uss ssee whosse magic iss sstronger,” he told Evil-Lynn. He raised his staff and five magical ethereal serpents flowed out attacking her defenses. She stood up and pushed back against him with all her magical might.

“Perhaps my magic can tip the balance,” Evil-Lynn stated with a smile. She too raised her staff and purple magical energy merged with King Hssss’s serpents to slowly dissolve the shield.

The Sorceress cried out and fell to her knees.

“The greatisst power in Eternia iss about to be mine!” King Hssss said laughing. Once more he sent out his serpents to physically pull the great wooden drawbridge towards him. His eyes glowed red upon seeing his prize so defenseless.

Telepathically the Sorceress cried ‘He-Man!’ to her champion. He-Man quickly responded, unfortunately he was overwhelmed by the sheer number of Snakemen.

But there was one obstacle King Hssss hadn’t thought of. Zodak stepped onto the bridge challenging him. Sadly he didn’t need to deal with such nuisance. “Allow me,” Evil-Lynn said her eyes glowing white. She created a vast ball of pure magical energy hurling Zodak off the cliffside.

King Hssss strode with his generals inside the castle to view the vast golden pyramid contained inside. Two immense wings curled around the tip where a golden thrown was held. The Sorceress sat with her head bowed upon this thrown.

“Kneel before your new Masster,” King Hssss said as he climbed up the steps towards her. “And tell me where the great power liess.”

“The power of the elders will never fall to the snakes,” The Sorceress said, still keeping her head bowed.

“We sshall ssee.” He raised his staff and the deadly magic snakes rushed out.

The Sorceress raised her head, her eyes glowed white with pure magical force. The effect was immediate and devastating. A vast explosion rocked the castle, disintegrating the vaporous serpents.

She strode forward, eyes glowing with power, and raised her hand. She called down a strike from heaven splitting the pyramid in half. King Hssss stood from the rubble of what was once the floor of the castle. “For that your death will be a sslow and painful one.” Dozens of the magical snakes criss crossed the room while the Sorceress took to the air. She swooped down and then lashed out with her staff at King Hssss engaging in physical combat. He leapt up and attempted to strike. She dodged, but he raised his hand to release another barrage of snakes. She diverted them with a little magic, while she was distracted King Hssss leapt on her with his staff. She parried his advance and then attempted to strike him with her own, only to find he wasn’t there. He shifted his body into magical energy and slithered across the floor to reform a few feet away. Everywhere the Sorceress flew magical snakes struck out at her. Eventually she was overwhelmed. They caught her in their grip and held her tight and pulled her to their master.

“Ssnake verssess bird. Iss there any doubt to the outcome?” King Hssss asked malevolently. His staff vanished in a puff of magic. His hands twisted and expanded, both his arms splitting apart. Now four snake heads bobbed up and down. A fifth head expanded out of his neck, swallowing his face. All the heads began talking in unison, “And now parish by the poissonouss power of my sserpent’ss venom.” All five of his heads lashed out biting her all over. She fell with a small cry onto the ground.

Moments later He-man was standing over her. “King Hssss… venom,” she managed to say before passing out again. She missed the rest of the battle. Whatever happened in the end He-Man placed her dying body onto the crystals that contained the Elders of Eternia and drew their power into her, healing her. The battle had been won, however Grayskull was in utter ruins and she was on a long, difficult road to recovery.

Her mind flashed on the dangerous game she was supposed to play. Obviously she now had no accommodations, nor was she in any physical condition to play host. Could she possibly find her own envoy to host in her stead?

The Sorceress searched her entire universe trying to find a suitable replacement host. And unable to find one there she branched out a little. Eventually she let standards slide a little, then a little more, then as desperation set in she started looking in the last ditch places she could find, hoping to find someone so desperate that they would take over for her. And she lucked out.

“This is going to be a long event…” she said rubbing her temples, “Okay… since it took considerable time trying to find someone… yeah… the players will be arriving in like… five minutes or so…”

“FIVE MINUTES?” Dr. Orpheous shouted, “How am I supposed to throw together a matter of arcane sorcery, madness and murder in five minutes?”

“Look,” she said shrugging, “It’s not that big of a deal. The players teleport in, they kill each other, everyone goes home miserable…. Is this all the space you have?”

“But what of the very souls of the dead? What of the fate of the banished?”

“The dead take care of themselves… and just find an independent contractor to handle the banishments,” she said matter of factly.

Several phone calls later…

“Orpheus!” the Sorceress shouted, “they’re arriving!”

“Welcome!” Orpheus began, “To my lair of eternal magic! Where the very scales of cosmic righteousness are set! I am known to men as Dr. Orpheus. And mine is to perceive and control the delicate arrangement of the cosmos…

“I’m the Sorceress of Grayskull. We wish to welcome you to this… apartment, however small it might be, and regretfully inform you that you’ve been drafted into a…”

“Matter of COSMIC CONSEQUINCE! The fate of the planets themselves rest upon the choices you make here, today! This latest incident has cleft the magical order of the cosmos in twain. We must strive to right that which is wrong and repair the torn curtain of time itself! Even now I fear it’s evil will…”

“Unfortunately I will be unable to participate much do to physical ailments. However I leave you in the almost capable… I mean almost as capable as I am, hands of Dr. Orpheus.”

“WELCOME!” Dr. Orpheus shouted, “Amongst you stand a terrifying trinity of traitors corrupted by despicable, devilish, dark magic…”

“Can you knock off the alliteration?”

“These traitors, the BAD GUYS, will aim to STRIKE YOU DOWN! But standing bravely, defiantly against them is an order! An order of the Triad! Agents who are dutifully and diligently deployed…”

“I said knock off the alliteration”

“Against them! And for the comfort of all those here we have COUCHES to sleep on…”

“I’d like to apologize for the inconvenience…”

Rules/Explanations:

Game Play:

1. Every turn will start with a murder. Every third turn will start with a murder by the Vigilante, called the Other Guy. It is important not to vote for the Other Guy as that person is trying their hardest to kill the three traitors.

Kill Schedule:
Traitor
Vigilante
Traitor
Traitor
Vigilante

Should either the traitors or the vigilante be late in sending me their kill, by more than an hour or two, I will notify the other party. At which point they have the opportunity to send me a kill taking the place of their opponent. (Deadlines are important.)

2. After the kill is announced there will be discussion about the kill amongst the players. During this period the players will announce their votes openly and in the thread. Make sure to BOLD your votes. Votes can be changed once per round. If a player misses two rounds of voting, that player will be considered inactive and be eliminated the following round by the traitors.
3. Who ever gets the most votes will be banished. And a new kill will then be posted.

NPCs and PSAs: Non Player Characters are not going to be allowed during the game proper. However they are welcome during prologues, epilogues, dream sequences, flashbacks, 'whats happening back home' posts and the banished/dead can use them sparingly.

Also each round I’ll select one or two players to write that staple of 80’s TV: the Public Service Announcement, such as this one from She-Ra ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWKW92NQbfA). To teach the Children a valuable lesson. During PSAs Non Player Characters are allowed.

God-Modding: Let’s all just write our characters and no one else’s okay? I hope we can all be respectful. Also as the host I reserve the right to step in if needed.

Finally… LET’S ALL HAVE A GREAT GAME!

I'll be PMing those with special roles right now... so clear out your message boxes

[Just a Shadow]

It was a day like many others. Peter Parker, the Amazingly Spectacular and Sensational Spider-Man was swinging around Manhattan singing to himself, ".. does whatever a spider can, spins a web, any size, can't you see, just like flies, hey there, i'm gonna kick your ass..."

Suddently a blinding light flashes in Spider-Man's eyes and he is teleported to an unknown location. Jumping into the air, Spider-Man quickly scurried to the highest vantage point and looked around, not recognizing anything.

"... if this is another Secret Wars I am so going to kick the Beyonder's cosmic ass from here to the Skrull homeworld!"

[hamboy]

Spiral Mountain; The Digital World
“Oh my, look at the sea. It looks like MetalSeadramon has make his stage exit, and it is time for the next player to play his part!” Piedmon, the strongest of the Dark Masters said, in his flamboyant voice. The sea, the realm controlled by Dark Master MetalSeadramon, was disappearing, signalling his defeat. “Now, who wishes to take part in the next scene of this dark comedy?”

A wooden creature, a puppet, stood up, and smiled.
http://images.wikia.com/digimon/images/2/29/Puppetmon.gif
“I’m bored. I want my turn to have fun. I got a few games planned for those kids, and I have to go and prepare my toys!” Puppetmon said, excitedly. The childish Digimon left the room for his home in the forest.

“Very well!” Piedmon exclaimed. “My you play your part with upmost excellency!”

Puppetmon’s house; the great forest; The Digital World

The puppet like Digimon rummaged though his toy box. All was set, the Digidestined were making their way toward the forest. Not wanting to wait, Puppetmon was getting bored. “Oh, come on, there’s just gotta be something fun in here to play with! I’ve played with all these toys, I don’t have any new ones!”

Pulling out a skate board, Puppetmon pushed it down the corridor outside the room, tripping over one of his lackeys, a bird-like Digimon with no wings. “Kiwimon, get over here! Why haven’t you got me any new toys?”
http://es.geocities.com/panzadecartonpiedra/kiwimon.jpg

“But Puppetmon, sir, you haven’t requested any new toys.” The servant said, a tone of fear in his voice.

“I don’t care! You should get me new toys every day weather I ask or not! I want you to go out and get me a new toy right now, or I’ll destroy you!” He lifted his hammer in the air, preparing to unleash a devastating attack upon his servant.

“Okay Lord Puppetmon, Okay, I’ll find you a new toy!” The terrified creature said, scurrying off.

“And see that you do!” Puppetmon said. He turned his television on.

Outside, Kiwimon came upon a most out of place object: a red, thick brimmed hat, sitting upon a toadstool. “This might please Lord Puppetmon! Well, I hope so. I can’t find anything else.” He returned to the house, carrying the hat in his beak. “Lord Puppetmon! Lord Puppetmon!”

“You’re back! And quick. Now, let’s see how much fun I can have with this!” Taking it from Kiwimon, Puppetmon began to spin around and dance with it, jump on it, and hug it, just as any child would with a new toy. He sat on his toy box, smiling, and put it on his head. A white light appeared, engulfing Puppetmon, the hat, and the toy box.

“Hey, wait, what’s happening to me? This isn’t fun anymore, I don’t wanna play this game, I want to play with my Transformers toys!” The frightened Digimon said, as he disappeared.

When the light cleared, he was in a strange new place: Puppetmon had arrived at the Traitor Game XVII: We Apologise For The Inconvenience.

***Just because someone asked: the game takes place in Dr. Orpheus's apartment/lab and can spill over into the rest of the Venture compound.***

"Hey it's a little metal dude! Can you say, 'help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope' for me? Or are you stuck with just little beeps and boops?"

***Just because someone asked: the game takes place in Dr. Orpheus's apartment/lab and can spill over into the rest of the Venture compound.***

ooc: How big is this compound? Never seen venture bros so i don't really know what we're dealing with here.

[Tommy]

ooc: How big is this compound? Never seen venture bros so i don't really know what we're dealing with here.

OOC: Dr. Orpheus's apartment is about the size of the average two story house. The compound its self is probably about the size of a block with considerable grounds, various housing, business sections, laboratories, vehicle storage and manufacturing areas. It's basically a small military base.

[hamboy]

"Hey it's a little metal dude! Can you say, 'help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope' for me? Or are you stuck with just little beeps and boops?"

"Hay!" Puppetmon looked up at Spider-man angrily. "I'm not metal! I'm wood! It's not fair, we just met and you're making fun of me.!" Puppetmon almost cried. But he stoped. "Hey, wanna play a game?"

[Just a Shadow]

"Hay!" Puppetmon looked up at Spider-man angrily. "I'm not metal! I'm wood! It's not fair, we just met and you're making fun of me.!" Puppetmon almost cried. But he stoped. "Hey, wanna play a game?"

ooc: whoops, i looked at the pic from a bad angle when i saw him and didn't see that his color was brown and not metallic!

IC: "Sure little fella. What kinda game do you want to play?"

[Masterbasset]

"Hay!" Puppetmon looked up at Spider-man angrily. "I'm not metal! I'm wood! It's not fair, we just met and you're making fun of me.!" Puppetmon almost cried. But he stoped. "Hey, wanna play a game?"

"Oh, great."

A man with a goatee, in a long robe, was sitting on a couch.

"What a pathetic contraption."

[hamboy]

"Sure little fella. What kinda game do you want to play?"
"I wanna play..." Puppetmon mused for a little. He wasn't sure. Wak-a-skull-open? Hop-on-your-toes-scotch? Rock, Paper, Dangerous Expolsive? In the end, he decided on a simple option. "Hide and go seek!" The digimon smiled.

"Sounds like fun, but let's see if we can get some others to join in as well."

The Tasmanian wilderness


Deep within the Tasmanian wilderness, many types of ferocity , and deadly animals dwell. From the tops of the thick, and full trees. All the way down to the rich, and nutrient filled soil. Predators of all shapes, and sizes life and feast on each other. Non of them are above, and each movement that they make can spell there end. It is a vicious cycle, but one creature stands above the rest. One creature.....

A sound that be described as dozen jet engines could be heard for miles around, causing many of the animals to run for their lives. The look of fear present in their eyes. The sound begins to get closer, as trees begin to fall down like they were ripped to the ground by some invisible force. The ground begins to shake, and rumble like a massive train is passing through.

Animals flee in mass from the dense forest, all of them making the ground rumble softly. Among them are Lions, Tigers, Bears, Rhinos, and other creatures who have carved a proud stake in the animal kingdom. All of them being driven from their places of rest. As the last of them leave, the sound of the jet engines has now reached a deafening level.

From the forest, a small tornado explodes from it, moving around in erratic movement . As it moves, what seems like various arms, and legs protruded from this mini tempest, like someone, or something is being thing is thrown around in it. The said tornado continued for a couple more meters until it came to a complete stop, kicking up a cloud of dust. As the dust hangs in the air, a small figure appears from it. A small beast with a robust, and furry body. stubby legs, and arms, large fangs, and what looks like two furry horns on its head.

The Tasmanian devil, one of them the most dangerous creatures on the planet, and come out of his lair, and it was to for lunch. Jumping up down, his crazed eyes looked around, seeing what he could find.

"Taz going to....." a brilliant flash exploded, and Taz was gone.



Moments latter, he found himself in the middle of a strange place, with strange people.

Seeing Cliff Huxtable appear Spider-Man gets excited and says, "wow, it's Bill Cosby! i loved you on the Cosby Show. What're you doing here?"

"Oh, great."

A man with a goatee, in a long robe, was sitting on a couch.

"What a pathetic contraption."

“Oh come on! Why’s everyone have to be so mean? It’s just not fair!” He jumped up and down like a child. “Not fair, not fair, not FAIR!” Puppetmon jumped onto the new arrivals toes.

The Bamf, feeling a bit small and lost amidst the crowd, perked up at the mention of a game.

"A game? I like games!" he shouted as he teleported next to Spider-Man and Puppetmon.

A bright light flashed and a small, greasy haired child appeared in the room.

Punisher's War Log: (Unknown Location, Unknown Time)
While enjoying my afternoon snack of milk and cookies I noticed a sudden disturbance in the atmosphere around me. Suddenly, I found myself somewhere else all together, with some strange looking people. Suspicions that this is a trap set up by Blackheart (the same butthead who ruined my playdate with Wolvie last week) are high. First attempt at investigations to shortly follow this log.

The small kid pulls out a water gun and backs into a corner, pointing it at everyone in the area. "Alright, someone better give me some answers, or you'll all be wetter then a fat kid at a public pool on a hot summer's day. And where the frig are my cookies!?"

OOC: Translations!
Butthead = asshole
Frig = F _ _ _

Yay little kids!

Prologue: Gotham City, Arkham Asylum

Green Lantern, John Stewart, manuevered Hawkgirl on an emerald gurney and placed her atop the medical bed. "Keep her alive," he demanded. The doctors rushed over to examine the fallen hero. As he exited the room he turned to J'onn J'onzz and Wonder Woman. "The Ring says she'll live. Hopefully those doctors won't prove it wrong. J'onn, setup the safety protocol."

"All right," J'onn replied. He looked at the white-faced attendant sitting at the reception desk, eating applesauce from a fruit cup. Some of it dripped from the spoon and splattered onto the attendant's shirt. He looked at J'onn and smiled a wide toothy grin. The password to see Hawkgirl is applesauce, J'onn thought at his teammates and attendant. Wonder Woman is to supply it.

"I understand," the attendant said lackadaisically. Two small circular scars puckered on his forehead like a second set of accusatory eyes.

"Come on," Wonder Woman said. "We're running late."

Gotham City, The Batcave

Superman paced the hallway of the detention cells as Batman finalized the defensive measures. "You're sure this will hold them?" he asked the Dark Knight.

"I'm sure," Batman answered. "I've had a lot of time to think about how to contain them."

Superman raised an eyebrow, "By 'Them' you mean 'Us' don't you?" Batman kept working. "Fine. Don't answer. As long as you're sure."

"I'm sure." When Batman finished he walked over to Superman and held out an inhaler to him. "Here. Use this."

"What is it?" Superman asked as he brought the inhaler up to his lips and ingested the contents.

"It's a Kryptonite Inhibitor. A form of Kryptonite Iodide."

"You know I've built up an immunity to Kryptonite over the last two years."

"It's precautionary. We may have collected and destroyed every last piece of Kryptonite on Earth but I doubt our counterparts have had the time. We have to assume you may come in contact with any amount of Krytonite. The Inhibitor will absorb any Kryptonite radiation you're exposed to for ninety days or more."

"Thanks. It must have taken you years to develop and cost a fortune," Superman smiled wryly.

"Lucky for you I had both," Batman said. Just then his Communicator chirped. "Go ahead."

"It's Hawkgirl," the voice replied over the comm. "The others are back and ready to go."

"We're on our way," Superman said. When Batman and Superman arrived, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and J'onn J'onzz stood in front of a black and green corruscating energy portal. Superman turned to Batman. "Last chance. You're sure you want to stay here?"

"You know someone has to watch over all of this."

"Of course. All right then. Let's go. Time to build a better world." Superman ascended the steps toward the portal. As he and his teammates crossed the threshold...

...his world went white!

*Cliff looks at the little puppet-like creature*

"Hey! You look like one of my daughter Rudy's toys!"

[Masterbasset]

“Oh come on! Why’s everyone have to be so mean? It’s just not fair!” He jumped up and down like a child. “Not fair, not fair, not FAIR!” Puppetmon jumped onto the new arrivals toes.
http://h1.ripway.com/hamboy/puplaf.jpg
“Hahahahahahaha! You aren’t toe mean now, are ya?”

He was about to say something, but thought if a mere insult like that made whine uncontrollably, he chose to simply ignore the thing. He just stared and smiled.

"Did you say something?"

"Oh well, I don't care anyway."

Luxord walks away, disappearing into the apartment

*Cliff looks at the little puppet-like creature*

"Hey! You look like one of my daughter Rudy's toys!"

“Toys?” Puppetmon turned toward Cliff, and held out his hand. “I always wanted a new toy!”

Taz looked around, and saw the strange creature standing there. He then slowly approached him, his body shifting with every step.

“Ew, what is that? It stinks worse than Machinedramon before an oil change!” Puppetmon opened his toy box. Pulling out a roller skate, he rolled it toward Taz, hoping to trip the beast up.

Flames danced upon the spaceship as it entered the atmosphere, illuminating its silvery hull to a mirrorlike sheen. Its approach set off radars in several nuclear weapons states, who all naturally assumed the others were conducting unauthorized missile tests. Diplomatic missions would be sent out to assess the situation, leading to an unfortunate incident where one ambassador's greeting was mistranslated as a dirty joke about the spouse of the presidential envoy, and an interplanetary war would be declared shortly thereafter.

All of which would have greatly amused the pilot of the spaceship, who had purposely turned off his radar jammer in hopes that just such an event would happen. He would never know the outcome, though, for his mission was of such grave consequence that he was singlemindedly focused on accomplishing it and moving on to the next galaxy on his itinerary as soon as possible.

The ship set down on the lawn of Dr. Orpheus' estate, its rocket exhausts blowing up clouds of dust all around. Shortly, a hatchway opened and a tall green alien descended into the yard, approaching the group.

"Dr. Orpheus?" It asked. "Dr. Byron Humbert Orpheus?"

Orpheus bowed deeply. "Yes, that is I. The great Doctor Byron Humbert Orpheus. Master of the..."

"You're a kneebiter, Orpheus."

"... what?"

"A charlatan. A complete and utter tool." Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged- for such was his name- then turned and walked back onto the ship, leaving Dr. Orpheus awkwardly staring, embarrassment coloring his cheeks. The hatch closed and the ship began to rise, preparing itself for launch.

Suddenly, the ship set itself down once more, the hatch opening again. Wowbagger exited, a short silver robot walking beside him.

"Oh, don't suppose you'd do me a favor and take this thing off my hands would you, Orpheus?" Without waiting for a reply, Wowbagger quickly turned and ran back onto his ship, which promptly took off for the Andromeda galaxy.

"I think you should know, I'm feeling very depressed," said the robot.

"Would ya look at that, a little kid dressed up as Spider Man! My son use to love you, would you mind doing that web thing you do?"

"What? I'm not a kid. I've graduated college and gotten pretty far into my graduate studies. I even got married and nearly had a kid.... or... I thought I did... I mean... ..."

Spider-Man then scratches his head and walks away confused.

“Ew, what is that? It stinks worse than Machinedramon before an oil change!” Puppetmon opened his toy box. Pulling out a roller skate, he rolled it toward Taz, hoping to trip the beast up.

The skates rolled towards him, but the beast simply picked it up, and devoured them, ripping them apart with his teeth.

"Yum" he said as he walked back over to the strange puppet.

The Sorceress put a hand to her lips trying to suppress a giggle.

"Well that was certainly less than nice."

With this the youngun runs over to the puppet looking creature and puts the water gun on his forehead. "You all have sixty seconds to tell me where I am, and where the frig my cookies are, or I'm taking Pinocchio down. I'm waiting."
Puppetmon looked at the kid, bemused. Finally, he spoke. “Yay, you got me a new toy!” He grabbed it from the kids’ hand, and tried to take it to his toy box.

[Ben Morgan]

*Cliff watched as the kid dressed as Spider-Man walked away*

"I wonder what his problem is"

"WELCOME!" Dr. Orpheus shouted, "To a mystery of unimaginable proportions! To horror beyond robotic COMPREHENSION!"

The skates rolled towards him, but the beast simply picked it up, and devoured them, ripping them apart with his teeth.

"Yum" he said as he walked back over to the strange puppet.

“That... that was one of my toys...” Puppetmon got angry, and shook. “You ate one of my toys!”

[Kevin M.]

“That... that was one of my toys...” Puppetmon got angry, and shook. “You ate one of my toys!”


Taz burped. "It needs salt" he said bluntly as he walked up to Puppetmon. Taz held out his hands, wanting the evil Digimon to give him more.

[Just a Shadow]

Seeing the Sorceress walk into the room Spidey says, "whoa-ho-ho... now that's a babe."

Suddenly a big burst of web shoots out, covering the Sorceress' feet.

"I swear that's never happened before!"

[hamboy]

Taz burped. "It needs salt" he said bluntly as he walked up to Puppetmon. Taz held out his hands, wanting the evil Digimon to give him more.

"..." Puppetmon was upset. Almost crying. He grabbed his hammer, and whacked Taz on the head with it. "Next time I'll hit you harder!"

"Why for you hit Taz with really hard hammer?"

"I am not little! I'll have you know I beat up Mephisto's son! And he's a 2nd grader!"

At this moment:

Puppetmon looked at the kid, bemused. Finally, he spoke. “Yay, you got me a new toy!” He grabbed it from the kids’ hand, and tried to take it to his toy box.

[hamboy]

The whack sent Taz back, making him dazed. After shaking the blow off, Taz looked back at Puppetmon.

"Why for you hit Taz with really hard hammer?"

Puppetmon just stared in amazement. The animal didn’t even care one little bit that he’d eaten his toy, even after the hammer shot. He twitched.
“My toy! My toy! You broke it!” He shouted, angrily. “That was new just 2 years ago!”

Firestar: Prologue

1984, New York

Angelica Jones strolled down the street quietly, looking at her checklist. She had just returned some library books, and now had a few more errands to do for Peter Parker's Aunt May. It was a quiet day, and it appeared that it would be a quiet week.

There had been no major supervillain threats in a while. The past few days, she and her teammates in the 'Spider-friends' had only run across your common bank robbers. She knew, however, that it could not last. Sooner or later, some super villain would put some crazy master plan into action, and she'd have to go into action with Spider-Man and Iceman again.

Almost on cue, the ground shook. Something huge was approaching. The Juggernaut? No way! He's still in jail!

A grotesquely fat, huge man in a spandex uniform approached, smashing everything in his path. Angelica recognized him as Magneto's henchman, the Blob.

"The Blob? What's HE doing here?" she exclaimed.

She knew she could not waste any time. Quickly ducking into an alley, she assumed her superheroine identity of Firestar.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s255/Esrom_album/morepics/firestar.png "I don't know why the Blob's going on a rampage, but Firestar will put a stop to it!"

She emerged from the alley just in time to see the Blob grab a parked car, and toss it into a nearby cinema marquee. The marquee, previously advertising 'Gremlins' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', exploded in a shower of sparks, as did the car. The movie theater was set ablaze.

Firestar knew she had to help the people in the cinema, but she also knew that the Blob would endanger more innocent lives while she was doing so.

She was relieved to see Iceman arrive on one of his ice bridges. She did not know why Dr. Strange was accompanying him, but she was not going to ask questions now.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s255/Esrom_album/morepictures/firestarcompany.png

"Firestar!" shouted Iceman, "I'll put out the fire! You help those kids in the arcade! Dr. Strange can hold off the Blob for a while."

She now noticed that the Blob had thrown a streetlamp into a nearby video game arcade. It appeared the entrance had collapsed, and several people were trapped inside.

Quickly, she swooped down, and blasted the debris to pieces with her fire blasts. She then rushed inside the damaged arcade.

She noted the frightened, nervous looks on the patrons' faces. All appeared to be unharmed ... except for the young man in the corner, pinned under a toppled Donkey Kong game.

Quickly she rushed over to the trapped teenager, and pushed the arcade machine off of him. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah..." the young man said weakly. "I don't think anything's broken. Thank you..."

Firestar never heard the rest, because her world suddenly went white...

---

The next thing she knew, she was in what appeared to be a living room. Gathered together were several costumed characters, some strange creatures made of wood and metal ... and Spider-Man?

"Spider-Man?" she asked. "Where ARE we? Please TELL me this isn't another 'Seven Little Superheroes' incident!"

And then she heard Dr. Orpheus' explanation. "All right, who's behind this?! Is it the Chameleon again?" she exclaimed angrily.

[jobies201]

Lifting the Mini-Punisher up by the back of his shirt Spider-Man says, "cool it little guy. You know.... I know a guy who dresses just like you. Doesn't have much of a sense of humor."

"Urgh..." PGP sucks in his breath. "I'm sorry... I just want my water gun back!"

"Easy there little feller, do you want some cookies?"

"Heck yes I do! Finally someone around here speaks my language! After we eat cookies can we make a birdhouse out of Pinocchio?"

[Ben Morgan]

"Heck yes I do! Finally someone around here speaks my language! After we eat cookies can we make a birdhouse out of Pinocchio?"

Punisher's War Log: (Cookie Time, Unkown Location):
As I ate my cookies I began pondering the motives of those around me. It was obvious Pinocchio was a snotface twerp, but I haven't been able to pass judgement on anyone else yet. Except the black guy, he makes great friggin cookies. So, he's obviously a good guy. I will begin my quest to win back the Super Soaker 2000 tomorrow when Pinocchio wakes up from his nap. For tonight, I shall learn a little more about my surrondings and maybe write a letter to Mommy so she doesn't worry.

PGP looks up at the Cookie Giver. "Hey mister! Do you have a pen and paper I could borrow please! I need to write a letter so my Mommy doesn't worry about me! And ask her to send me some socks... Oh oh! And Skittles! Yeah! I friggin love Skittles!"

Oh oh! And Skittles! Yeah! I friggin love Skittles!" "Sorry kid, can't have too much sugar ya know. But I don't want your mother to worry, so here is some stationary paper"

[Schornforce]

A stuffy British voice begins... "Previously on the Traitor Games..."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/WeepyMeowth.jpg

"G-g'bye Ukyo! Don' give up! I'm sure dat Ramen guy'll go fer youse anytime now."

Unfortunately, at that moment, the Warners were chasing Wesley Crusher around the cave, tossing various cartoon explosives at him. One such explosion landed in James' hands. The Team Rocket members had a second to look at it with bugged-out eyes before the KA-BOOM!!!

"Looks like..."

"Team Rocket's..."

"Blastin' off agaiiiiin!"

"Wobbuffeeeeeeeeett!!"

"Bye, Ukyo!"

*ping*

Team Rocket was sent hurtling through a portal Bat-Mite had just opened. It closed immediately after they soared through.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Legion/Bat-Mite.jpg
"Oh dear.

*sigh* This just isn't my millenium..."

Ukyo was alarmed by this turn of events. Not the 'blasting off' part ... Team Rocket went through mishaps like that all the time, and ended up with few injuries aside from those to their dignity. Ukyo knew what it was like to 'blast off' herself. She had been on the receiving end of a Hiryu Shoten Ha from Cologne when she demonstrated the move for the first time.

No, it was Bat-Mite's statement that alarmed Ukyo. "Why are you saying things like 'uh oh' and 'oh dear'. You sent them home, didn't you? Didn't you?"

"Well, Miss Spatula Lady-Ma'am... I really wasn't expecting your friends to go through THAT portal. It wasn't meant for them. So...

...um...

they could be kinda...

...

lost?

...

...maybe?

Sorry."

---------------





Team Rocket blipped out of the legendary Batcave and landed unceremoniously-- in a village? As the team all landed with their rears raised high into the air, they slowly stood up and took in their surroundings.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/Jessie.jpg
"Grrr.... where ARE we? That stupid Zubat-Mite thing! Where did he send us?"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/MeowthDatsRight.jpg
"I dunno, Jess, looks like some kinda ol' village an'-- HEY! Ain't dat... da twoip?!!!"

[Just a Shadow]

The next thing she knew, she was in what appeared to be a living room. Gathered together were several costumed characters, some strange creatures made of wood and metal ... and Spider-Man?

"Spider-Man?" she asked. "Where ARE we? Please TELL me this isn't another 'Seven Little Superheroes' incident!"

And then she heard Dr. Orpheus' explanation. "A Traitor Game? All right, who's behind this?! Is it the Chameleon again?" she exclaimed angrily.

"Well.... I have no idea what the Seven Little Superheroes incident is, but I figure we'll find out more about what a Traitor Game is soon enough. In any case, those retro threads are kinda hot on you, pun intended."

[Schornforce]

Ash had seen a lot lately. After all, he'd just helped save the village and now he and his partner, Pikachu, were heading to meet with the big honcho of the village when all of a sudden--

"Ahahahahaha!!! Prepare for trouble, we don't recognize this place!"
"And make it double, at least we know your face!"
"An evil as old as the galaxy"
"Sent here to fulfill our destiny!"
"An' Meowth! Dere's-- HOLY FRIJOLES!!!

HEY!!! WAITAMINUTE, Twoip! What happened to yer hand?!!!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/James.jpg
"EEEEEEEEE! It's positively hideous!!!!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/ashpic5.jpg
"Huh?

Oh... yeah... my hand got possessed by these things-- the Deadgimon. Had to lop it off.

Replaced it with a chainsaw."

"PIKA!"

"Gimmee some sugar, baby." Ash planted a wet one on his fat rodent's lips-- much to the abject horror of Team Rocket.

"......That... that's horrible."
"Ewwwwwwwwwwww!"
"Y'know, I always wondahed about dem two..."

Before more hideous rodent smooching could commence, the group was interrupted by the village wiseguy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/Slowking.jpg

"Ah. Good. The Chosen One. And you three must be his acolytes. Come in. Come in."

The Slowking village elder led the group to a horrifying book that had a twisted face on its cover. "This is the Monsteranchernominummyyummycon. Ash, it is your final duty to read the following passage EXACTLY. Doing so will purge the Deadjimon from all existence and make the world right once more. Be forewarned, once you start, you cannot stop. And if you misspeak, who knows what crazy deus ex machina could occur! Why, I could even end up wearing pants or something!"

"Ha! No sweat! I'll get it right on the first try! Watch this!"

"Wait! Shouldn't you read it a few times to yourself first to be sure you get it right?!!!"

"I have a bad feeling about this..."
"I t'ink it's about time fer us..."
"To kiss our Ash goodbye..."

*Ahem* "CLAMPERL, NINCADA, um... Pikachu?"

"No!!! You got it wrong! It's Clamperl, Nincada, Pichu!!! Now you've doomed us all to who knows what!!!!"

"Um... Can I declare 'do overs' on that?"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/Pika.jpg

As Slowking strangled the clueless Ash, a large mystical portal appeared and sucked the hapless Team Rocket through the swirling and highly-computer generated vortex.

"Oh, why is it we had to land in this army of dork-ness?!!!"
"Looks like Team Rocket's violating space and time agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiin...." *ping*

[Schornforce]

Team Rocket Swirled in the vortex.

"Oh, this is just great! After that pointless meeting with the fake twerp, we're hopping through ANOTHER dimensional portal!"

"Look on the bright side, Jessie..."

"WHAT BRIGHT SIDE?!!!"

"We get dese new snazzy avatahs!!!"

"WOBBUFFET!!!" Wobba'ed Wobbuffet as he emerged from his pokeball...


...just in time for the team to fall out of the vortex onto Doctor Orpheus' china cabinet, sending dishes crashing everywhere.

[KingofPie]

Several humans scattered as they looked upon a giant insect hovering above them. It was one of ths 'bad ones'. They feared these creatures, and yet....this one was different. A source of entertainment, somewhat. They knew better than to move too close towards him, thoughj. He was armed.

The 'bad one' or Predacon, in question was known as Waspinator. The Aerial Attack warrior of the Predacons. He was a bot on a mission. He was......

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/51/Megatron-beastwars.jpg

"A failure! How could you let the Maximals spot you at a crucial moment like this!? The spy device Taratulas built was sure to go undetected! But you dropped it!?"

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Waspinator-bwprofile.jpg

"Not Waspinator's fault! Waspinator didn't know he would run into Cat-bot and Doggy-bot on the way there! Cat-bot surprised Wapinator! And...And...


"And....?"


Waspinator's hands slipped."


"Grrrrrrrrr..."

Flash!

"Huh? Where is Waspinator? Hmmm...No Megatron....No Maximals...Just strange humans.....Waspinator saved!!!!!!"

The giant robotic wasped then did a sort of victory dance knocking aroung people who were in his way.

[Just a Shadow]

"Luckily for you, I'm just an astral projection," the Sorceress said, "These shoes cost a considerable amount of money from a currency you've never heard of."

Watching the Sorceress speak, Spider-Man shoots another thick, sticky strand of webs that flies through her astral form.

"... this really, really doesn't happen that often..."

Slinking away, Spider-Man thinks to himself

Why do I have to always make such a fool of myself in front of pretty girls... this is like high school all over again.

[Chris Lang]

"Well.... I have no idea what the Seven Little Superheroes incident is, but I figure we'll find out more about what a Traitor Game is soon enough. In any case, those retro threads are kinda hot on you, pun intended."


"Retro? What are you talking about?"

"Wait a minute! You were THERE! Remember? The Chameleon had us all trapped on that island..."

She stopped, as she was hesitant to discuss it further. She wondered why Spider-Man didn't seem to remember.

[Just a Shadow]

"Retro? What are you talking about?"

"Wait a minute! You were THERE! Remember? The Chameleon had us all trapped on that island..."

Firestar wasn't sure if she wanted to discuss it further. She wondered why Spider-Man didn't seem to remember the incident...

"I've fought the Chameleon a ton of times, but I don't remember you ever being involved. To tell you the truth, I don't even know you all that well. You usually hang around with the New Warriors or the Avengers, and your time with the Avengers was awhile before mine."

[jobies201]

"Sorry kid, can't have too much sugar ya know. But I don't want your mother to worry, so here is some stationary paper"


"Thanks Cookie-Man!"

Punisher's Letter to Mommy:

Dear Mommy,

Today while I was eating cookies I got transported to some lab to play a game. Don't worry, I'm fine. There's a lot of people here. So far I only talked to two of them. One is Pinocchio (Remember when we watched that with daddy and he spilled popcorn on the couch? That was funny!) but this Pinocchio is a jerkhead. I think he has termites or something. There's also a big black guy named Cookie Man. He gave me some cookies. They were good, but not as good as yours of course. Alright, I'm gonna go play, talk to you later.

Love,
Punny

PS: Tell Wolvie he'll have to shoot rubber bands at Mystie without me in school as I'll be gone for a little while. And if you send a letter back, can you send me some Skittles please? You can buy them with my left over allowance from last week. Oh! And, remember you promised you would buy me a Webkinz because I cleaned my room! I want the dragon! Thanks!

After sending the letter he looked up. "So... what now?"

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/b/be/Thundarr.jpg

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!


Under a broken moon, at a mysteriously active, overgrown ruin, three sets of eyes surveyed the scene before them.

A straw-haired, square-jawed muscled barbarian in furs suddenly said, “Lords of Light! What are those bizarre black magic wizard runes before us???”

http://www.leecountyymca.org/images/JC%20Penney%20Logo.gif

“Thundarr! The wizard Gemini is using this old shopping center to feed upon the psychic energies of the local villagers! You see, JC Pe – ” This, from a beautiful dark haired blue-clad young lady.

But before the beautiful, fawn-skinned woman could continue, the strange, cat-like, 8 foot tall creature interjected, “NYAAARLLL NYAAAARRHHH NYYAAAARHHH NYARRH!”

“Yes Oookla!” said the man. “We must destroy Gemini’s base! OOOKLA! ARIEL! RIIIIDE!” The man’s horse reared back and sprang forward, as the man plucked an empty hilt from his wrist. Raising the hilt up high, it sparked to life as a shimmering energy blade, which made a strange synthesized sound when he waved it to and fro.

“Thundarr, wait!” exclaimed the woman. But it was too late – the beautiful sorceress’s admonishments fell on deaf ears. A legion of mutant soldiers suddenly noticed Thundarr’s charge, and turned to face him, ferocious murderous looks on their face.

“NYARRRH NYARRRH NYAAARRHHH!” The creature known as Ookla exclaimed, spurring his horse onward.

“NO! Wait! We are not ready to confront Gemini yet! ------ oooo, it’s no use!” Exasperated, the Princess Ariel raised her hand, and the shimmering energy of a spell born of her magickal will sprang to life. The glittering light emanated from her hand and sought to envelop Thundarr in a restraining field.

However, she felt a strange alien force, twisting her magicks slightly, using her talents to alter the spell. Thundarr the Barbarian was not restrained. He simply felt a tingling numbness as the world vanished before him……….

[Superheroic]

Superman stepped through the portal. Only he hadn't arrived in Metropolis. He looked around at an assortment of strange individuals. He was about to demand some information from the hosts when he was interrupted.

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/jl/bios/groups/jlords/25.jpg

Wonder Woman had stepped forward, "Will someone, in Hera's name, explain to us just what is going on?"

[Froggy]

"BADLY DRESSED HUMANS AND ROBOTS! WHERE AM I? Mr Richfield asked, not toning down his voice level

[Chris Lang]

"I've fought the Chameleon a ton of times, but I don't remember you ever being involved. To tell you the truth, I don't even know you all that well. You usually hang around with the New Warriors or the Avengers, and your time with the Avengers was awhile before mine."


Firestar moved in close. "The New Warriors? I don't even know who they are! And I've never been with the Avengers. Are you all right, Spidey?"

"You really don't remember? We've been teaming up for the past year. Don't you remember how you saved us all from the Chameleon? Don't you remember how Ms. Lion ..."

She stopped. "What about the Juggernaut, and Video-Man, and Cyberiad? Do you remember them?"

[Cthulhudrew]

Wonder Woman had stepped forward, "Will someone, in Hera's name, explain to us just what is going on?"

Firestar moved in close. "The New Warriors? I don't even know who they are! And I've never been with the Avengers. Are you all right, Spidey?"

"You really don't remember? We've been teaming up for the past year. Don't you remember how you saved us all from the Chameleon? Don't you remember how Ms. Lion ..."

She stopped. "What about the Juggernaut, and Video-Man, and Cyberiad? Do you remember them?"

"... I know who the Juggernaut is. No idea who else you're talking about though. And I barely know you, let alone having teamed up for the last year. But.... my memory's been off lately. I seem to remember being married to a redhead, but now I'm not so sure. Everyone tells me I'm single but that just doesn't feel right to me. umm... this is kind of awkward, but am I married to you?"

[Tommy]

Somewhere very boring two teenagers sang nasally on a stage. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvkh29RKFRY) The song was one of the most bland inoffensive pop songs a team of marketing executives could write.

“We’re soarin’, flyin’There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach” He sang.

”If we’re trying
So we’re breaking free “ she sang, hoping no one was googleing her naked pictures.

“You know the world can see us
In a way that’s different than who we are”

Creating space between us
‘Til we’re separate hearts

"But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe" They sang together.

"We’re breakin’ free"

"We’re soarin’"

"Flyin’"

There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach

"If we’re trying"

"Yeah, we’re breaking free"

Oh, we’re breakin’ free

"Ohhhh"

"Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can’t control"

"Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls"

"Rising ‘til it lifts us up
So every one can see"

"We’re breakin’ free"

"We’re soarin’"
Flyin’

There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach

"If we’re trying
Yeah we’re breaking free"

Ohhhh runnin’

Climbin’
To get to that place

"To be all that we can be"

Now’s the time

"So we’re breaking free"

We’re breaking free

Ohhh , yeah

"More than hope
More than faith"

This is true
This is fate
And together

"We see it comin’"

More than you
More than me

"Not a want, but a need"

"Both of us breakin’ free"

"Soarin’"
"Flyin’"

There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach
If we’re trying
"Yeah we’re breaking free"

Breaking free
Were runnin’

"Ohhhh, climbin’"

To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now’s the time
"Now’s the time"
"So we’re breaking free"
"Ohhh, we’re breaking free"
"Ohhhh"

You know the world can see us
In a way that’s different than who we are

"Hey! This doesn't look like the school auditorium!"

OOC: Yes, that's right, Troy Bolton the "star" of Highschool Musical is the NPC kill. I'm looking at the first kill taking place Wednesday.

[Indigo Al]

....When Thundarr rematerialized, he noticed his horse was not beneath him. However, he was still moving forward, at first slowly, and then, gaining momentum, at incredible speed, heading towards a building that looked like any other one in his native far flung future earth....


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA"

He yelled as a battle cry, as he hurtled straight towards a window of the structure. He crashed through, barely noticing the incredible beings assembled inside.....

[KingofPie]

"I'd tell you, but I don't think you'd really be interested. No one ever is."

"Hmm. Another bot like Wazzzzpinator?"

Waspinator hovered over to the depressed looking robot.

"You! Big-Head! Are you Maximal or Predacon? Zzzzz....."

[KamenRaida]

Wile E. Coyote Prologue

Arizona Desert

The Arizona Desert, home to a myriad of beasts, all of who have managed to adapt to the harsh environment which they called home.

Unfortunately for some, adaptation also meant possessing the ability to survive the deadly game of predator and prey...

*beep beep*

Much like the one happening now.

Road Runner
(Veloticus Sonicus)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/Wileecoyote.jpg/180px-Wileecoyote.jpg

Wile E. Coyote
Stupidus Vulgaris

The game between cat and mouse (or dog and bird, if one would perfer) had been carrying on for awhile, fortunately seeming to approach it's conclusion.

http://sp1.yt-thm-a01.yimg.com/image/25/m5/3159217220

As the Coyote approached its prey with the cullinary utensils (how they had appeared in his hands so miracolously, was beyond the comprehension of any reasoned individual), the Road Runner was spurred by an extra burst of speed, leaving the predator behind.

As was the case for many hunters, to achieve a kill was a rare feat. Surely, the Coyote would now search for a much easier prey now?

No. The Coyote was a crafty sort. Better, he was a genius. A supergenius.

Furrowing his eyebrows, the Coyote set off to implement his plan.

After all, what were the odds of failure?

[Superheroic]

"I'd tell you, but I don't think you'd really be interested. No one ever is."

John Stewart stepped over to the android. "The lady wouldn't have asked if she didn't want to know. I'm Green Lantern, these are my teammates," he pointed toward each member as he named them. "Wonder Woman, Superman, Hawkgirl, and J'onn J'onzz. You are?"

[Chris Lang]

"... I know who the Juggernaut is. No idea who else you're talking about though. And I barely know you, let alone having teamed up for the last year. But.... my memory's been off lately. I seem to remember being married to a redhead, but now I'm not so sure. Everyone tells me I'm single but that just doesn't feel right to me. umm... this is kind of awkward, but am I married to you?"


Firestar laughed, in spite of her worries. "No, no, we're just good friends. We know each others' identities, and we've been teammates for the past year. The Spider-Friends, remember? You, me, and Iceman. Together we've fought Magneto, Swarm, Loki, Modred, the Green Goblin, Electro, the Scorpion ... and a dozen other super-villains."

"This whole 'traitor' setup reminds me of that 'Seven Little Superheroes' thing. Of course, the Chameleon ripped off that idea from Agatha Christie, but his whole gimmick is imitating other people. We can't expect him to be too original."

"Okay, so you don't remember. The Chameleon had us all trapped on an island. You and I were there with Iceman, Captain America, Dr. Strange, Shanna, and the Sub-Mariner. One by one, we kept falling into traps. The Chameleon even told us what was going to happen with poetic verses he made up. He impersonated people, and lured others into his traps. Ms. Lion saw through his disguises. That girl had a good sense of smell..."

Firestar's expression turned gloomy. "You ... don't remember Ms. Lion, either, do you?"

"Anyway, this whole setup reminds me of that, except we don't know who's putting us through this. Dr. Orpheus and the Sorceress haven't told us yet, if they even know."

[Tommy]

...just in time for the team to fall out of the vortex onto Doctor Orpheus' china cabinet, sending dishes crashing everywhere.

"Ahhh!" Dr. Orpheus screamed, "My Hummel collection!"

He yelled as a battle cry, as he hurtled straight towards a window of the structure. He crashed through, barely noticing the incredible beings assembled inside.....

"Ahhh" Dr. Orpheus screamed, "My bay windows!"

[Cthulhudrew]

"You! Big-Head! Are you Maximal or Predacon? Zzzzz....."

"Neither. I'm Marvin, and my Big Head happens to contain more information than you could possibly imagine." The little robot slumped his shoulders as he sat down. "Also, there appears to be something wrong with your speech processors. You should get that looked at, although I doubt it will help make you sound any more intelligent."

[Cthulhudrew]

John Stewart stepped over to the android. "The lady wouldn't have asked if she didn't want to know. I'm Green Lantern, these are my teammates," he pointed toward each member as he named them. "Wonder Woman, Superman, Hawkgirl, and J'onn J'onzz. You are?"

"Marvin. But you don't have to pretend as if you really care. I know you hate me."

[Chris Lang]

John Stewart stepped over to the android. "The lady wouldn't have asked if she didn't want to know. I'm Green Lantern, these are my teammates," he pointed toward each member as he named them. "Wonder Woman, Superman, Hawkgirl, and J'onn J'onzz. You are?"

"Wait, I recognize you!" Firestar exclaimed. "But you're not real, you're just comic book characters!"

"But what's with the costumes? I don't recall Superman dressing in black..."

[KingofPie]

"Neither. I'm Marvin, and my Big Head happens to contain more information than you could possibly imagine." The little robot slumped his shoulders as he sat down. "Also, there appears to be something wrong with your speech processors. You should get that looked at, although I doubt it will help make you sound any more intelligent."

"Huh? Big-Head insult Waspinator!? Waspinator most powerful warrior of Decepticons! Even Waspinator's leader, Megatron, fears him!"

Waspinator then drew out his blaster and directed it at the small robot.

[Just a Shadow]

Firestar laughed, in spite of her worries. "No, no, we're just good friends. We know each others' identities, and we've been teammates for the past year. The Spider-Friends, remember? You, me, and Iceman. Together we've fought Magneto, Swarm, Loki, Modred, the Green Goblin, Electro, the Scorpion ... and a dozen other super-villains."

"Anyway, this whole setup reminds me of that, except we don't know who's putting us through this. Dr. Orpheus and the Sorceress haven't told us yet, if they even know."

"I have no idea what you're talking about and the fact that you apparently know my secret identity really kinda creeps me out. I think that maybe you should stop skipping your meds cuz it's pretty obvious that you're a few cards short of a deck. And as for Cap.... he's dead... don't you remember?"

[Schornforce]

Team Rocket immediately stood dramatically atop the toppled china cabinet crunching a couple formerly intact hummels as Meowth accidentally knocked over an expensive-looking vase (just like old times!).

"Ahahahaha!!! Prepare for trouble all you strangers!"
"And make it double as we deal out dangers!"
"An evil as old as the galaxy"
"Sent here to fulfill our destiny"
"With Meowth! Dere's me!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/WeCanJessie.jpg

"An' Meowth are da names!"
"Wherever there's peace in the universe..."
"Team Rocket will be there..."
"Ta make ev'ryt'in woise!"

"WOBBUFFET!!!"

"Alright, you losers, you have three seconds to start handing over any pokemon you have before we get rough!"

[Indigo Al]

Thundarr barely had time to react. He noticed Dr. Orpheus and the astral sorceress....

"Gemini! I don't know what trickery you and your she-wizard wench are planning, but - ! Taste the might of the Sunsword!" And he charged at Dr. Orpheus

[Tommy]

"I have no idea what you're talking about and the fact that you apparently know my secret identity really kinda creeps me out. I think that maybe you should stop skipping your meds cuz it's pretty obvious that you're a few cards short of a deck. And as for Cap.... he's dead... don't you remember?"

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/3263/hsm2012em6.jpg

"Hi, I'm Zac Effro-- Troy Bolton," he said, "I'm sure you're so excited to meet me! I'm the most popular guy in my school! And now I'm going to star in the Highschool Musical!"

[Superheroic]

"Marvin. But you don't have to pretend as if you really care. I know you hate me."

"I see this is going to be a pleasant conversation," John Stewart replied.

"Easy now," J'onn spoke calmly. "It seems whatever is happening we are all in this together."


"Wait, I recognize you! But you're not real, you're just comic book characters! But what's with the costumes? I don't recall Superman dressing in black..."

"Comic book characters?" Superman asked. "I'm not sure where you've gotten you information but obviously we're real. I used to wear a different a costume but I'm not really sure how you could know that." He eyed her suspiciouly. "Are you responsible for bringing us here?" he asked, a hint of anger in his tone.

[Cthulhudrew]

"Huh? Big-Head insult Waspinator!? Waspinator most powerful warrior of Decepticons! Even Waspinator's leader, Megatron, fears him!"

Waspinator then drew out his blaster and directed it at the small robot.

"Oh, go on. You'll be doing me a favor." Marvin turned so that his side was facing Waspinator. "Could you aim here, though? I've got this terrible pain in the diodes down my left side." He paused a minute, then, "You might want to double check your laser blaster first. It appears you've left the safety catch on."

[Chris Lang]

"I have no idea what you're talking about and the fact that you apparently know my secret identity really kinda creeps me out. I think that maybe you should stop skipping your meds cuz it's pretty obvious that you're a few cards short of a deck. And as for Cap.... he's dead... don't you remember?"

"He's dead?"

Firestar looked Spider-Man directly in the eye, or as much as she could considering the nature of his mask. "What happened? Tell me everything!"

She was interrupted by a fight nearby.

"Huh? Big-Head insult Waspinator!? Waspinator most powerful warrior of Decepticons! Even Waspinator's leader, Megatron, fears him!"

Waspinator then drew out his blaster and directed it at the small robot.

"Hold it!" Firestar exclaimed. "We've only just got here, and ALREADY you're fighting!"

"If you try shooting anyone with that gun of yours, I'll melt it down! So put it away!"

[Just a Shadow]

"Hi, I'm Zac Effro-- Troy Bolton," he said, "I'm sure you're so excited to meet me!"

"If my mask portayed my facial expressions you'd see that my left eyebrow is raised in confusion. You remind me of that kid from that Disney Musical, but I've never been masochistic enough to sit through the whole thing."

[Cthulhudrew]

"Hi, I'm Zac Effro-- Troy Bolton," he said, "I'm sure you're so excited to meet me! I'm the most popular guy in my school! And now I'm going to star in the Highschool Musical!"

"Wonderful. You must be one of those Genuine Peppy Personality prototypes."

"I know I am. EEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" James ran girlishly towards the teen superstar and stood eagerly. "I have ALL your albums!"

Jessie impatiently stalked over and grabbed James by the ear, leading him back over to the fallen china cabinet so they could resume being dramatic for the gathered masses.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/WeCanJessie.jpg

"JAMES!!! You're ruining everything! Don't forget we're VILLAINS! SO START ACTING LIKE IT!"

[Just a Shadow]

"He's dead?"

Firestar looked Spider-Man directly in the eye, or as much as she could considering the nature of his mask. "What happened? Tell me everything!"


"... when his side lost the Civil War he was arrested. He was shot by a sniper when being brought into court and... and he died."

Today's Episode: Day of the Soon to be Dead


Plainville, Ohio. The plainest town in anywhere, USA and yet the sight of many strange occurrences offering young friends Gregory "Goofus" Monroe and Peter Gallant many opportunities to teach children who should really be in school how not to be a creep!

Today the boys stand at the corner of Main Street, Downtown Plainville.

Gallant is handsome and well dressed, clean and well groomed, a look of placid serenity on his face. Goofus is grimy and disheveled, looking like he just got out of a fist fight. Possibly in a swamp; there is a characteristic mischievous gleam in his eye.

They observe an old woman, waiting from the traffic on Main Street to slow so she can cross.

"Old people are horrible! They smell funny and they tell really long, boring stories with no proper ending! And they ask you if you want some candy and it turns out to be Werther's Original! That's not candy! You say candy, I want a darn Snickers bar! Is that too much to ask?"

"Now come on Goofus, old people are great! They're the past and they have important things to teach us! I volunteer at the old folks' home every Sunday and it's always an educational and uplifting experience!"

"Oh, retch! Why do I hang out with you?"

"Now come on; we're going to help Mrs. Reynolds over there cross the street and then we're going with her back to the home to learn an important lesson about public service!"

"You actually know that lady's name? And who talks like that? You are such a dork!"

To Be Continued . . .

Goofus and Gallant at the Libray:

Gallant always returns his books on time!

Goofus tossed his books in the river, just because. They were stupid anyway, they didn't even have any pictures.

[Superheroic]

"Alright, you losers, you have three seconds to start handing over any pokemon you have before we get rough!"

Hawkgirl looked at Green Lantern, "What's a Pokemon?"

"Got me..."

[Tommy]

Thundarr barely had time to react. He noticed Dr. Orpheus and the astral sorceress....

"Gemini! I don't know what trickery you and your she-wizard wench are planning, but - ! Taste the might of the Sunsword!" And he charged at Dr. Orpheus

"You do not know the risk you are taking, for a whisper from my lips could open your mind to a world of ARCANE TORTURE," Dr. Orpheus said gesturing emphatically, "I..."

At which point Thundarr crashed into him.

[Chris Lang]

"Comic book characters?" Superman asked. "I'm not sure where you've gotten you information but obviously we're real. I used to wear a different a costume but I'm not really sure how you could know that." He eyed her suspiciouly. "Are you responsible for bringing us here?" he asked, a hint of anger in his tone.

"No!" Firestar protested. "I don't know why we're here. All I know is what Dr. Orpheus and the Sorceress said..."

Before she could go any further, an oddly-costumed duo and the strange creatures that accompanied them spoke...

"Alright, you losers, you have three seconds to start handing over any pokemon you have before we get rough!"

"Pokemon?" Firestar asked, completely confused by the strange behavior of the newcomers. "Do you mean 'poker money'? We've only just got here. No one's played poker, or any other card games..."

[Ben Morgan]

"Did someone say poker?"

*Cliff asked eagerly*

[KingofPie]

"Oh, go on. You'll be doing me a favor." Marvin turned so that his side was facing Waspinator. "Could you aim here, though? I've got this terrible pain in the diodes down my left side." He paused a minute, then, "You might want to double check your laser blaster first. It appears you've left the safety catch on."

"Huh? Waspinator didn't....." Waspinator fiddled with his blaster by shaking it rapidly until.....KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!

Waspinator body parts seperarated as he blew ito pieces. His head fell right in front of Firestar.

"Ohhh....Why universe hate Waspinator?" Waspinator commented as his arm fell on his head, putting him into stasis lock for a few seconds.

[Cthulhudrew]

"... when his side lost the Civil War he was arrested. He was shot by a sniper when being brought into court and... and he died."

Marvin walked over to Spider-Man and Firestar. "In the interest of speeding along this little tete-a-tete, let me illuminate you both."

He pointed to Spider-Man.

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7008/marvinweyecu4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

"He is from a parallel universe to your own."

Turning back to Firestar, he added,

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2185/marvinwreversemt7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

"You and he have clearly never met, and while you may both exist in one another's universes, things have happened differently there."

"Either that, or else he just doesn't like you, and is pretending not to know you."

[Chris Lang]

"... when his side lost the Civil War he was arrested. He was shot by a sniper when being brought into court and... and he died."


"The Civil War? But that was over with a century ago! Captain America never fought in the Civil War. He was in World War II, but he fought for the USA! And the US won that war."

Firestar sighed in frustration. What WAS wrong with Spider-Man's memories? "I don't know what to say any more. You seem to remember a completely different reality than the one I know."

[Indigo Al]

"You do not know the risk you are taking, for a whisper from my lips could open your mind to a world of ARCANE TORTURE," Dr. Orpheus said gesturing emphatically, "I..."

At which point Thundarr crashed into him.

Unfortunately, Thundarr caught Dr. Orpheus straight in the sternum. They were both thrown several feet straight into the restroom of his compound.

[Cthulhudrew]

"Ohhh....Why universe hate Waspinator?" Waspinator commented as his arm fell on his head, putting him into stasis lock for a few seconds.

Shaking his head, Marvin muttered, "That has to be the most dreadfully stupid thing I've witnessed in at least a week."

[Chris Lang]

Marvin walked over to Spider-Man and Firestar. "In the interest of speeding along this little tete-a-tete, let me illuminate you both."

He pointed to Spider-Man.

"He is from a parallel universe to your own."

Turning back to Firestar, he added,


"You and he have clearly never met, and while you may both exist in one another's universes, things have happened differently there."

"Either that, or else he just doesn't like you, and is pretending not to know you."

"You mean parallel universes like they talk about in science fiction?" Firestar asked. "I guess that would explain everything."

"Okay, you can call me Firestar. And you are..."

[Kevin M.]

"Here ya go little buddy, they're my daughter's favorite"

http://www.cookingforengineers.com/pics2/320/DSC_2869_crop.jpg


The sent of cookies got the attention of Taz, as his he began to salavate. With a loud howl, he began to spin around, forming a small tornadoe as he headed towards the cookies.

[Joe Acro]

The Bamf, fascinated by all the players present, began teleporting around and greeting them.

To Spider-Man:
"Hey! You look kind of like that thief named Spider! Pirate Kitty told me about you!"

To Firestar:
"You must be the Fiery Princess I hear about. But where's Lord Vance? And that neat chariot of his? Whatsit called? Firestar?"

To Marvin.
"You remind me of the Iron Guardian on that nearby island. But you're not red enough."

To Punisher.
"Why does that symbol on your chest look familiar?"

And, finally, he ended up next to Meowth.

"You're the most Bamf-like cat I've ever seen!"

[Cthulhudrew]

"You mean parallel universes like they talk about in science fiction?" Firestar asked. "I guess that would explain everything."

"Not quite everything. But your mammal brain couldn't handle the entirety of the concepts involved."
"Okay, you can call me Firestar. And you are..."

"Marvin. I exist to serve. Terrible, isn't it?"

[Just a Shadow]

Listening to Marvin, Spider-Man looks to Firestar and says, "that seems to make sense. It explains why neither of us seem to have any shared memories."

"The Civil War? But that was over with a century ago! Captain America never fought in the Civil War. He was in World War II, but he fought for the USA! And the US won that war."

Firestar sighed in frustration. What WAS wrong with Spider-Man's memories? "I don't know what to say any more. You seem to remember a completely different reality than the one I know."

"Long story short, the government created a bill that required heroes to register themselves. Cap led the anti-registration side and that metallic jerkoff, Tony Stark, led the pro-registration side. It was a big mess and a bunch of good people died in the process, but in the end Stark's side won, which leads us to the police state that I currently live in."

[Tommy]

"If my mask portayed my facial expressions you'd see that my left eyebrow is raised in confusion. You remind me of that kid from that Disney Musical, but I've never been masochistic enough to sit through the whole thing."


“Disney?” Troy asked, “Why I’d love to work for Disney! Disney is the best company ever! Highschool Musical!”

"Wonderful. You must be one of those Genuine Peppy Personality prototypes."

“It’s so great to be a teen today,” Troy said smiling, “Except that when I told my Basketball teammates I wanted to sing, they got all mad, they thought that I should stick to what I normally did.”

“Umm excuse me… I couldn’t help overhearing… but did you say you were an athlete who wanted to be in a musical?” asked the Sorceress.

“Yes I am, Ma’am.”

“Isn’t that just the plot of the first few episodes of the WB’s drama Popular?”

“Well I’m dating a girl on the Scholastic team!”

“They did that on Popular to…”

“And we all worked together in the end!”

“Your movie is a sanitized rip off of Popular!”

But their conversation was interrupted by a crazed fan…

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/IamJames.jpg

"I know I am. EEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" James ran girlishly towards the teen superstar and stood eagerly. "I have ALL your albums!"

“Oh wow!” Troy said. He pulled out a felt pen and signed one of Dr. Orpheus’s silk napkins. “Here you go! Say this whole traitor game thing, we’ll only survive it if we work together. Let’s sing! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7zzbB17Fvo)

And we take it

Wild cats sing along
Yeah, you really got it goin' on
Wild cats in the house
Everybody say it now
Wild cats everywhere
Wave your hands up in the air
That's the way we do it
Lets get to it
Time to show the world

We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true

We're all in this together
When we reach
We can fly
Know inside
We can make it
We're all in this together
Once we see
Theres a chance
That we have
And we take it

Wild cats everywhere
Wave your hands up in the air
That's the way we do it
Let's get to it
Come on everyone!

HEY? Why aren’t you guys singing and dancing?”

[KingofPie]

Waspinator's head awoke to some obviously disturbed human singing some terrible music. Never before had Waspinator wished to be back in Stasis Lock.

[Cthulhudrew]

“It’s so great to be a teen today,” Troy said smiling, “Except that when I told my Basketball teammates I wanted to sing, they got all mad, they thought that I should stick to what I normally did.”

"It's situations like these that make me wish I'd been programmed with a gag reflex."

[Just a Shadow]

“Disney?” Troy asked, “Why I’d love to work for Disney! Disney is the best company ever! Highschool Musical!”


Thinking of the commercials he had seen, Spider-Man turns to the others and says, "For the love of god, DO NOT ask him what time it is!"

"Did someone say poker?"

*Cliff asked eagerly*

"You can go ahead and deal me in for a few hands. But we're gonna need some snacks."

[Kevin M.]

Waspinator's head awoke to some obviously disturbed human singing some terrible music. Never before had Waspinator wished to be back in Stasis Lock.



Taz was so obbsessed with the cookies, the slammed right in the back of his legs, stopping his progress.

[Ben Morgan]

"You can go ahead and deal me in for a few hands. But we're gonna need some snacks."

"Sure thing sonny boy, I got some hoagies I had with me"

[KingofPie]

Taz was so obbsessed with the cookies, the slammed right in the back of his legs, stopping his progress.

If Waspinator could bang his head on a table right now, he would. For now, he had to drag his remaining pieces back together. His arms slowly pulling themselves towards him.

[Chris Lang]

"It's situations like these that make me wish I'd been programmed with a gag reflex."

Firestar, on the other hand, had such a reflex. And she used it.

When she was through gagging, she turned to Marvin. "So, who do you work for? You said you serve, but I saw you arrive in a spaceship, so you don't work for Dr. Orpheus..."

[Tommy]

Unfortunately, Thundarr caught Dr. Orpheus straight in the sternum. They were both thrown several feet straight into the restroom of his compound.

Dr. Orpheus climbed out of his broken toilet. "Five minutes in and the house is ruined..." He muttered. "Sir. I am not whatever foul mage you think I am! I am Dr. ORPHEUS MASTER NECROMANCER! I serve the master, a great balancing force in the universe for good!"

[Kevin M.]

If Waspinator could bang his head on a table right now, he would. For now, he had to drag his remaining pieces back together. His arms slowly pulling themselves towards him.

A large lump formed on his head as he looked around, to see the piece of Waspinator around him.

"What that?" he asked.

[Cthulhudrew]

When she was through gagging, she turned to Marvin. "So, who do you work for? You said you serve, but I saw you arrive in a spaceship, so you don't work for Dr. Orpheus..."

"I was built by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as a menial robot to serve the oh-so-expansive needs of humanity. Why they felt it would take someone with a brain the size of a planet to perform such tasks as fetching prisoners and parking cars is one of the few problems I have never been able to adequately compute an answer for." He raises his head to look at the girl. "Why do you ask? Were you hoping I would get a beverage for you to drink? A Shirley Temple, no doubt?"

[Schornforce]

And, finally, he ended up next to Meowth.

"You're the most Bamf-like cat I've ever seen!"

"What da heck is dis mook talkin' about?

Should I be insulted? I can't tell anymore in 'dis crazy place. Da Batcave was practically a nice trip to da countryside compared ta dis dump!"

"Wobba wobb-wobb Fett!"

"Mebbe yer right, Wobbuffet. T'anks fer da compl'iment (I t'ink), li'l blue guy."

Just then, Zak/Troy started his song. Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet covered their ears, but James?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Schornforce/Me/IamJames.jpg
"EEEEEEEEOOOOOO!!! I think I'm going to just LOVE it here!" *swoon*

James collapses to the floor with a huge grin on his face as his team looks dumbfounded at the singing athelete.

[Joe Acro]

"Mebbe yer right, Wobbuffet. T'anks fer da compl'iment (I t'ink), li'l blue guy."
The Bamf looked a little confused.

"Ha! What a fun accent!"

[KamenRaida]

Wile E. stifled a chuckle as he fasted the rope around the anvil ring. Taking a moment to look back at his plan, Wile E. beamed at the sheer brilliance of it all:

*beep beep*

Hearing the unsuspecting cue, Wile E. got himself in position behind the outcrop of rocks. Seeing the Road Runner zoom past, Wile E. leapt out of his hiding place and gave chase.

According to his calculations, the time it'd take for the Road Runner to reach the end of the tunnel, would be the amount of time it'd take for the rope to give way.

The tunnel, certainly was dark however, as Wile E. found himself running through it. The lack of sound was almost frightening.

A light thud in
