The Infinites: Episode One
"Give
it up Spidercide, you know that you can't defeat all of us," said
Captain Planet who had reached his patience with the creature. "If
what you claim is true and that you have given up on villainy, then you
should be more than willing to prove by coming back with us."
"You know something Cap," said Spidercide, who had morphed his
fingers into long tentacles and was trying to hold Captain Planet,"
I know that they say that you finally got half-a-brain, but you still
must be pretty stupid if you think that the authorities are going to
believe me any more than you or these other heroes that you seem to have
gathered to try and recapture me."
"We are just some old friends, now come with us Spidercide, or will
drag you in. Even if you possessed my amulet of a fair amount of good
luck, you could never hope to defeat us all,” said King Ggnictee who
had already drawn his sword of power. He charged forward, attempting to
run his sword through Spidercide's left shoulder, injuring him enough
for the rest of the heroes to finally gain an advantage over him. Just
as it looked like he might, Spidercide's should transformed into water,
making the sword go right through it harmlessly.
"You guys may have superior numbers and greater combined powers
than me, but I am no slouch in the raw power department." Suddenly,
Spidercide's left hand shot out; delivering a powerful blow that knocked
King Ggnictee to the ground. "Or in the muscle department for that
matter." With that, Spidercide used his other hand that was still
attempting to strangle Captain Planet, and threw the hero straight into
a nearby tree, smashing right through that tree and another, and
another.
"You may be tough," added Metamorph, " but you are
outnumbered and you aren't the only one who can change shape". With
that, Metamorph transformed his own left hand into a giant sledgehammer
and attempted to knock Spidercide out with it, only to have the
hammer-hand sink into Spidercide's skin on contact, almost as if he had
hit a man of quicksand.
"Maybe not," added Spidercide," but I am willing to bet
that even you can’t alter your entire molecular density or structure,
which means that you are a candle to my flame-thrower buddy."
Suddenly, with that Captain Planet flew almost directly into Spidercide,
flying and sinking deeply within Spidercide's quicksand body, almost as
if attempting to commit suicide. Suddenly, Spidercide began to spin
around out of control. Parts of his quicksand like body began flying all
around the area as if there were a tornado inside of his very quicksand
body. In truth, this wasn't far from the truth. Captain Planet had flown
inside of Spidercide's quicksand body and had transformed himself into a
tornado so that he could "spread" Spidercide's body all over
the place.
By the time Captain Planet was done, all that was left of Spidercide was
his head lying helplessly on the ground and small little pieces of his
body still in quicksand form scattered all over the place.
"Well, I hope you guys are happy now," said Spidercide in a
very calm manner, "now I am nothing more than just a head. Well,
I'm dead. Go ahead, do your little victory dance. You win."
Suddenly, the different pieces of Spidercide began to move, coming
together into one big glob and moving towards Spidercide's head, which
was still talking despite the fact that it was completely separated from
the rest of the body. "Oh wait, I forgot, I have complete control
of my body on a molecular structure, even if part of me is separated
from the rest of it. Boy, sometimes I think that I would forget my head
if I wasn't able to reattach it to my body no matter where it ends up.
Oh well, where were we?"
As Spidercide began to reform himself, Captain Planet, King Ggnictee,
Metamorph, and Jimmy the "Dead" looked at each other. Now what
were they gonna do?
"Let me try something," said Captain Planet. "Should've
done this in the first place..."Since there were fewer
Eco-emergencies and more standard superhero-type situations in Khazan;
Cap had recently had to learn a new way of fighting and thinking. For
example, he had learned to use his heart power to tell when someone's
lying, to scope out a situation, and to out-strategize opponents by
reading their minds and knowing beforehand what they were going to do.
Also, since he was no longer dependent on the rings, this gave him time
to learn more about the world and the people in it, and thus become less
naive. Captain Planet activated his heart power. Was Spidercide telling
the truth? Or did he have something else up his sleeve?
"I'm going to try to read his heart! His mind needs to be
distracted, though! Jimmy, you see to the King, 'Morph, you know what to
do!" Captain Planet shouted, above the convenient background noise
that forced him to be dramatic.
"All right!" Metamorph shouted over the noise and flipped the
Captain a 'Full Rimmer' salute. "You want density you bag of
ripped-off phlegm, well you got it!" at that, he fired off his boot
rockets and shot up a building. At the top, he peeled away and turned
himself into pure Osmium, the heaviest element known to man. With his
current volume of 1 cubic meter, he now weighed 7 tons. This, sadly, had
no effect on Spidercide, who stepped out of the way.
"Now I’m mad!" Morph said, after he floated out of the hole
looking like an accordion.
"Oh, what're you gonna do to me, form your hand into a spike?"
Spidercide taunted him, not noticing the thin film on the ground or the
tendril, floating just above his spinal cord, until the watermelon
appeared on top of his head. Metamorph's form shifted, no more the armor
plated pseudo-sayin superhero, but that of Ghallager, holding the
sledge-o-matic. We can guess what happens next. He kept fighting like
that, erratically shifting forms; here a knight in armor with a rubber
chicken, there Curly, doing the Eye Poke(tm), here a homicidal suitcase,
there a robot dressed to play Cricket and so on until someone else
intervened.
As Metamorph continued to change into random shapes, overwhelming
Spidercide, who was constantly changing both his shape and molecular
density to avoid serious injury, King Ggnictee and Jimmy the Dead were
already working on a possible ambush. With Spidercide's spidersense
working overtime to avoid injury from Metamorph, he couldn't even sense
King Ggnictee as he came up from behind, driving his sword of power into
Spidercide's shoulder. Since Spidercide hadn't had the chance to change
the density of that particular portion of his body, the blade went right
through, leaving a nasty wound. As Spidercide stopped in battle to
cradle the wound, Jimmy the Dead moved in with a powerful blow to
Spidercide's face disorientating him. Completely confused from the blow
and his shoulder injury as well as a considerable loss of blood,
Spidercide could do nothing but pray that his spider-strength would be
enough to save him as King Ggnictee, Metamorph and Jimmy gave him the
beating of his life.
Meanwhile, hovering over ahead, Captain Planet had been watching the
battle when suddenly his heart powers began to confirm the truth of what
Spidercide had been saying all along. He had given up on being a
villain, and now, as Captain Planet speed towards Spidercide's aide with
all the speed of the wind, he could only hope that he had not made this
discovery too late
"Okay, guys, hold off," commanded Captain Planet.
"Spidercide was telling the truth about reforming." Is
Spidercide alive?
King GG, Jimmy and Metamorph, who had, respectively: his sword up
against Spidercide's neck, a gun trained on his head and his hand turned
into a chainsaw, relaxed and looked sad when they heard Captain Planet
say that Spidercide was truthful.
"Aww, come!” Jimmy complained, "Just when it was getting
good!"
"Yeah," Ggintcee griped, "We never get to kill
anyone."
"I was working up that plasma blast for a week and you made me
waste it," said Metamorph, as a building that was behind Spidercide
exploded, "Now I've used up most of my energy. Ooh, I don't feel so
goooooooooo-" he trailed off as he collapsed into a puddle.
Literally. He fell down and melted into a puddle of liquid.
Meanwhile, on the planet Courascant, a wizened old man was meeting with
6 beings. He was more prune now than man, twisted and incontinent. Yet
this man, this frail man whose bones I could crush in my bare hand was
the most powerful being in the Empire. This frail, weak, sick, twisted-
"No narrator shall insult me" The Emperor said, as he shot a
bolt of lightning right towards AARGH!
High everybody! I'm the backup narrator. As the body of the previous
narrator fell from the sky, the emperor sent another bolt of lightning
up toward-AARGH!
Palpy: Nobody is to know of this but us. Guards, leave us.
They leav-AARGH!
Palpy: Now, I have called you 6 here because I felt, through the force,
that 6 great powers were sent through the dimensions. With the aid of my
new "dimensional transporter" each of you is to be sent to
retrieve a power.
You will not be informed witch until it is absolutely necessary. Now go.
And as, Knute Gunray, Ysaane Isard, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Grand Moff
Tarkin, Darth Maul and Darth Vader leave the inner chambers, we see the
emperor raise his hand towards me and OH SH-ARRGH!
As the heroes began to back away from Spidercide, the spider-clone
attempted to try and change his body into a liquid form and then reform
again in a human form. Sadly, he was in too much pain to concentrate
properly, making things very difficult. Suddenly, Jimmy the Dead walked
up towards the creature, pulling out an anesthetic that he hoped would
numb the pain and give Spidercide a chance to reform. Although the
process was somewhat lengthier than they wanted, since Spidercide
apparently had a thing for needles, the heroes began to grow impatient.
Never the less, Jimmy's plan worked. As the anesthetic began to wear
off, Spidercide first morphed into a liquid form, then again into his
human form, this time without the serious injuries he had gained.
"Thanks everyone, I owe you one." With that, Spidercide formed
his left hand into a mallet and using his spider-speed, managed to land
a fast blow that knocked everyone of the heroes back and down to the
ground.
"What the heck was that for?" Asked Captain Planet, who was
starting to doubt the accuracy of his heart powers.
"I said I owed you one. Now we are all even. Now if it is all the
same to the rest of you, I would like to finish with this battle and go
on with my life."
"My deepest regrets Spidercide, but you must not go yet, for I, and
perhaps all of reality have need of your talents" said a dark, deep
voice coming from above. The heroes all looked up and there, hovering in
the air above the battle sight was none other than Adam Warlock, former
god of his reality, champion of the universe and guardian of the soul
gem. Plus he also does Kareoke at the local baaargh.
Hello, I am yet another in a long line of narrators who have been chosen
to replace the ones who should ever insult the characters or waste time
in the story. Now then, where were we?
"Hey, I remember you from somewhere!" Captain Planet shouted!
You're Mr. Fantastic, aren't you?
"No, I am Adam Warlock. Champion of the Universe and Guardian of
the Soul gem. I need the assistance of each and every one of you.
Meanwhile, Metamorph, having recovered enough energy to solidify, stood
up, not seeing Adam Warlock. His scouter, however, did.
"Woah, What the? Something here has a power level of over 20,000!
There must be a glitch in this thing. He removed it and, turning the
ends of his fingers into various tools, started to fiddle with it.
"Ah, I owe you one too," said, Spidercide, noticing that
Metamorph was conscious. Concentis. Awake. AARGH (Thump)
"I don't like spelling mistakes” said Adam.
Hey, you con't kill him just because he made a spelling mis-AARGH!
Um, All hail Adam Warlock, champion of the unevirse OH CRAARGH!
I think I’ll just stay silent.
"That's Better"
Meanwhile, Spidercide had tried to do the sledge thingy but it fused
with Metamorph's head.
"Oops, sorry, must have turned the forcefield off." He pressed
a button on one of his elbow-length gauntlets and the sledge became
unstuck. "There, that should ow ow ow ow ow!"
Listen, can Warlock just tell his story? My fingers are getting tired
and I want to post this.
"Sure"
"Fine"
"No Problem"
"Sounds all right"
"Great"
SURE
Who was that?
I AM DEATH. THE ASSASSIN AGAINST WHICH NO LOCK WILL HOLD. THE BEST
FREIND TO THE SICK AND THE DOCTOR FOR THE-
Yeah, yeah, can we get on with AARGH!
MY WORK HERE IS DONE.
"Well, Adam Warlock said, "That was odd. Does that happen
often around here?"
"Every day" all 4 heroes and Spidercide said, simultaneously.
AARGH!
Hey, he spelled that right.
"Sorry. Anyway, here is my story..."
"Adam Warlock?" exclaimed Captain Planet. "Now I
recognize you! Sorry, I was hallucinating earlier from a zonk on the
head."
Cap remembered when he first arrived at Khazan. The entire sky was
filled with superheroes, Greek gods, and what-had-you beating the crap
out of each other in the hugest battle of good vs. evil you'd ever seen.
He'd picked a "dance partner" out of the group to tangle with.
Unfortunately, he'd made the mistake of picking a fight with Thanos, who
was already tussling with Adam Warlock and couldn't "be bothered by
some meddlesome insect." Without even turning around or taking his
eyes off Warlock, Thanos gave Cap the hugest backhanding a being of
Cap's physical makeup could hope to survive.
That was when Cap learned he'd have to be smarter to survive.
"So, anyway, Adam," said Cap, "what's up?"
Adam is about to respond when Darth Maul suddenly steps out of a
dimensional portal (looking very ugly I might add). Fortunately before
he has a chance to kill the narrator,
"halt evil doer, before you have a chance to smite the good
narrator may I perchance ask what you are doing here?" Ggnictee
stood in front of maul with his sword resting on the man's neck just
below the chin, with the rest of the heroes behind him (all looking
rather unhappy I might add).
"None of your business knight!" Maul used the force to push
Ggnictee's sword from his neck long enough for him to pull out his
lightsabers. Engaging the blades he dropped to a battle stance.
"Hold my friends, the dark one is mine." he held up his hand
staying the other heroes. "Now if you are ready, you warthog faced
baboon, shall we fight?"
Maul attacked first, The Amulet of Mediocre Goodness and Righteousness
glowed bright on Ggnictee's chest at mauls evil presence. The two
battled for only moments, before a young Lois Lane walked by (and being
the natural prey she was, was quickly grabbed by Maul and used as a
human shield).
"Help superman help,” yelled Lois
OH SHUT UP (everyone else yelled back).
"That sir was unchivalrous!!!!!" ggnictee jumped, flipped,
landed next to Lois and pushed her out of the way, at the same time
bringing his sword around and cutting Maul in half,
as he fell down the conveniently placed ventilation shaft they heard him
yell, "not again!"
"Well that was messy!" Metamorph grinned.
"And probably not ecologically sound either" CP added in
(everyone agreed that it was both messy and not ecologically sound to
drop a person down a ventilation shaft half a person at a time).
"Well we're definitely going to need to get a dimensional portal,
let’s go."
Our heroes are last seen going to the "Wayne enterprises
dimensional-portal-pall outlet store.
Just after the heroes left, 2 halves of a very ugly and stupid AARHG!
2 halves of a very good looking and smart Sith crawled out of the
ventilation shaft. Now, any normal person would, right now, be the main
course at "Chez Vulture" but this was no ordinary man. No no,
I meant Sith AARGH!
Hey that was 2.
"Well, we didn't kill a narrator in the last post so we get 2 this
post" Maul said.
Oh, all right. Where was I?
"This was no ordinary Sith..."
Thanks. After defeating Connor Macleod in a recent Grudge match, Darth
Maul was now the most powerful immortal in the multiverse. And, as we
all know, the only things that can kill a highlander are a) decapitation
b) vaporization c) direct action from the Grim Reaper or d) Pauley
Shore.
The Emperor, seeing the defeat of Darth Maul, summoned a force storm and
brought him to the infirmary. He then sent a division of his legions
after the soul gem. Troops that would not be affected by its power. The
Trade Federation's full complement of Battle Droids.
Then, just as they were about to split up, there was a loud rushing
noise and a giant Trade Federation landing craft (the ones that look
kinda like giant "h"s) crashes through the wall. Now, out from
the landing craft came 100000 battledroids and 1000 destroyers. One
spoke in a metallic voice "Give us the Soul Gem or we will kill
this narrator!"
Oh, yeah? Suddenly, out of nowhere, a 16-ton weight fell on the head
battledroid.
"Hey, can I try that?"
Sure, just put the headset on.
"Suddenly, 20 naked young women burst into the room and started
dancing around the main characters. Hey, it didn't work."
Well, there have to be some limitations. Adam Warlock stepped up to new
replacement commander and said to him "We don't even have the
gem."
"Then what's that on your bookcase?"
"It's a Faberge egg."
"Then why does it have a power level of over 10000?"
Oh, screw this; let's just kill'em all. Primes, get them!
As we charged, we call out various battle cries.
For the Guild!
"Transform and Roll Out!"
"There can only be one!"
"The Power is yours!"
"NI!"
"Yaaahhhh!"
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
"Don't kill me!"
Captain Planet smashed through several battledroids (since they were
robots, he didn't have too many moral compunctions about using violence
on them). Maybe I can make something useful out of them, like a gem
detector, he pondered.
With the battle droids all over the place, the battle had gotten out of
control. As the remains of destroyed battle droids began to pile up;
more droids were sent in to reinforce the trade federation army. Over
the sounds of blasters firing, the heroes shouted commands to each other
that could not possibly be heard. Spidercide had resorted to using his
spider-strength and speed against the battle droids over his
shapeshifting abilities. Metamorph had transformed himself into a solid
steel wall and was providing a barricade for Jimmy the Dead who had
grabbed a pair of droids blasters and had begun firing away at the droid
armies. King Ggnictee was using his shield to block all blaster fire
aimed at him while, grabbing his sword, he had begun slashing away at
the droids as they come forward relentlessly. Eventually, Captain
Planet, using his powers, created a massive tornado that blew away all
the droids in one fatal swoop.
With the battle over, Adam Warlock was now free to explain the situation
under which he had sought out the help of these different heroes.
"As you know, I am guardian of the Soul Gem, one of the six
Infinity gems that are the keys to omnipotence. In the past, the gems
were guarded by immortal beings known as the Elders of the Universe who
used the gems for their own purposes, but never-the-less guarded the
gems against being united. That was changed when the titan Thanos sought
out the gems, killing the guardians, and uniting them so as to become
omnipotent. Eventually, it was through my aid that he was defeated. I
took the united gems, but was forced to surrender and divide them
amongst five other people. Recently however, I have been aware of the
presence of a dark man who now seeks the infinity gems. In order to
protect against the gems being reunited, I used the space gem to
teleport the gems to five random locations, the soul gem I kept because
I cannot remove it from my forehead. Recently I have been aware that
each of the gems has fallen into someone's hands, and have sought to
locate the gems before their owners abuse their powers. Yet as soon as I
began my search for them, the dark man known as Palpatine has begun his
search for them as well. I have sought you out because through the soul
gem, I have seen into your hearts. I know each of you to be honorable
men who will not fail me.
"Do you know whose hands they're in?" questioned Captain
Planet.
"No, I felt at the time that the less I knew of the location of the
gems, the safer off they would be. However, I can locate them using the
soul gem. For a time, I was in complete control of all six gems, and
still to this day, I am linked to the soul gem in ways which even I am
unfamiliar with. I can locate the other gems, but I will need your help
in gathering them together. You must help me."
For a moment, there was silence as the heroes all looked at each other,
wondering what to do. They knew that going after the gems meant not only
having to deal with whomever had the gems. That could lead to a battle
with one of the infinity gems if the owner was not willing to relinquish
it. Also, it was clear that Palpatine was not done yet. He would send
more of his armies after the gems and them as well. It would be a most
difficult task indeed. Then, as if in unison, the heroes stepped forward
one by one and agreed to help Adam.
"Very well then, we must go. The first gem we seek is the Mind
Gem."
Cap. Planet immediately summoned up a massive wind, and our band was in
the air. They flew for an indeterminate amount of time, until Warlock
suddenly yelled "there! I sense the mind gem". Cap P. dropped
the tornado and all fell to Earth.
"Is everyone all right?" said Cap Planet.
Jimmy spoke up "we're fine, Cap. Fortunately, everyone here has
some level of invulnerability". Seemingly overlooking King
ggnictee's mumble of "my spine", Jimmy quickly surveyed the
scene.
Dominating the landscape was a massive building. It stretched higher
into the air then the eye could follow, but somehow it was possible to
perceive the words "Acme Labs" written on it. It was also
possible to vaguely see a gigantic mob of humans, seemingly intent on
adding more to this structure. And every five seconds they all chanted
"all Hail the Brain!"
Suddenly, a rumble shook the earth. A massive, mecha-esque robot came
forward. Crawling about on it was a seemingly mentally impaired mouse
yelling nonsensical phrases. It was then the group noticed that the
"robot" had the head of a mouse, and that they were facing the
new holder of the Mind Gem, the Brain (all hail the Brain!)
"So.." shouted the Brain, his Orson Welles-esque voice booming
with confidence "I see you intend to take the source of my new
dominance. I may have to exterminate you all!"
"Narf" squealed Pinky, failing to break the tension.
"Any of us immune to mind control?" wondered Cap. "Also,
I think King Ggnictee needs medical attention."
The band stood there for a moment, when suddenly Adam Warlock flew into
the air.
"I am Adam Warlock, owner of the Soul Gem and protector of the
Infinity Gems. I demand that you hand over the mind gem
immediately."
"Never" shouted the Brain who was standing up on his massive
throne. If you truly posses the soul gem, then I challenge you to test
your power against mine. Let the mental abilities of the soul gem and
the mind gem meet in spiritual battle!"
"Narf" respond Pinky in an awestruck manner. "Oh Brain,
that is a wonderful idea, oh wait no. It won't work. I haven't invited
all my buddies over yet to watch the match."
With that the Brain proceeded to slap Pinky upside the head. Then,
without warning, the battle began. The spiritual essence of Adam
Warlock, powered by the soul gem left his body just as a mental
projection of the Brain, powered by the mind gem, left his body. The two
essences then ascended into the astral plane where the battle began.
Meanwhile in the real world, Brain's followers had been given orders to
destroy the heroes. Without another word, the people all moved aside as
the entire Acme Labs building seemed to split apart. Not as if it was
being ripped, but as if it was simply coming apart at the pre-built
seems to reveal a giant, gold colored robot in the shape and resemblance
of the Brain. At least the height of Galactus, Brain's followers
continued to mindlessly mutter, "All Hail the Brain" as the
giant Brain-Robot moved forwards towards our heroes.
The heroes (including the now fully (self) restored (thanks for HELP
guys)) Ggnictee faced down the giant robot as the two spirits battled
on.
They rushed the robot, Metamorph turned himself into a giant spear and
crashed into the robots chest while Captain Planet sent a huge spike of
earth up into it's back. They split the giant robot in half and then
turned back to the battling spirits.
Suddenly brains spirit disappeared and all his followers stooped
chanting.
Looking over at brain they saw the mind gem jump from his hands and fly
into the shadows where a black glove reached out and grabbed it.
Then the figure in the shadows spoke, in a deep mechanical voice,
"now you shall know the true power of the dark side!"
From the shadows, Darth Vader stepped forward, holding within his hands
the one gem that would increase his power a thousand-fold, however,
coming up from behind, Spidercide, who had morphed the colors of his
body so as to camouflage himself, appeared and in one fatal swoop,
snatched the mind gem away from Darth Vader. Vader quickly reacted,
pulling out his lightsaber and preparing to slice Spidercide in half
when King Ggnictee stepped forward, pulling his own sword out. The two
battled, their swordsmanship a match for one another. But Vader soon
gained the upper hand, using the force to predict Ggnictee's next move;
he was soon able to overcome the King. Then, as it seemed as though King
Ggnictee was about to be sliced in two, Darth Vader screamed in pain and
began holding his head in agony. Ggnictee turned to see Spidercide,
holding the mind gem, and using its powers to telepathically attack
Vader. Suddenly, an amusing thought crossed Spidercide's mind. Using the
gem, he commanded Vader to begin giving himself vigorous wedgies. He
then proceeded to make Vader spank himself a hundred times all the while
repeating the phrase, "I am a naughty boy, naughty, naughty."
It was by the time that Spidercide had Darth Vader doing ballet that
Adam Warlock returned. At this, Spidercide handed over the mind gem to
Warlock and the heroes departed, leaving Darth Vader sucking his thumb,
thinking that he was a tiny infant.
It was shortly after Captain Planet had once again managed to whisk
everyone off in a tornado that Jimmy, after finally having stopped
laughing along with everyone else, asked which gem they were heading
after next.
It was then that Warlock responded, "The Power Gem"
Our heroes(tm) traveling once again by Air Planet(tm) soon arrived at
their new destination. It was an average suburban town, except for one
thing.
"Jeez" said Metamorph "what's with all the death?"
Corpses were strung about the streets, and piled high in a massive
bonfire. The words "curse the insidious womb" seemed to be
written on an awful lot of buildings in blood. Our heroes were shocked
by the carnage (except the typically emotionless Warlock and Jimmy
seemed to be on the verge of laughing)
Suddenly, Warlock shuddered and fell over, unconscious. Our heroes(tm)
turned to see a massive, 7-ft tall being, his hands still smoking from
the blast. He was bulging with more muscles then the Rock on Steroids (a
bit redundant, I know). He had very little hair, and his head was oddly
shaped like a football.
"Fools,” yelled Stewie in his high-pitched, braying voice
"did you really think that I would not recognize the Infinity Gems?
I will *kill* you all, then take control of the gems and then...the
world nay, the Universe, nayer still, the Multiverse will be mine!
Bwahahhahaha!"
Meanwhile, a youngish man watched the proceedings with fascination in
his massive ship, hovering far above Stewies town/flaming wreck.
"Excellent." said the Emperors clone "I shall unleash my
forces and annihilate the competition below while they duel. Then I
shall take the gems to mine Emperor and genetic father, Palpatine"
So as the Emperor's clone unleashes several world destroyers and a whole
****load of TIE-fighters, Our Heroes(tm) begin to engage Stewie, the
apparently insane wielder of the Power Gem.
"OK, football-face," ordered Captain Planet, "hand over
the gem or else!"
"Never!" shouted Stewie. "The gem is mine! And as for
you, you're about to be eliminated!"
Just as Stewie lunged for Captain Planet, the elemental hero burst into
a flash of pure white light!"
"GAAAH!! My eyes!" screamed Stewie as he dropped the power
gem. While he was blinded, Captain Planet grabbed the power gem. He
could feel its awesome power augmenting his Eco-energies. But he knew
who the gems truly belonged to.
"Warlock! Catch!" he shouted as he tossed the power gem to
Adam Warlock
As the gem fell to the warlocks waiting hands it was snatched out of the
air by the emperor’s clone. With the gem in hand he jumped through a
dimensional portal he had opened. Unfortunately he was in such a hurry
to open it (due to the close pursuit of our heroes(tm) that he did not
open it to his own chambers in the SWU, but instead it landed him on the
deck of the Jolly Rodger in Never Never Land.
(Back to our perusing heroes)
"He's getting away!" Ggnictee yelled as he jumped through the
still open portal.
"Quick into the portal" Spidercide was right behind him.
"What about Palatine’s toys here?" Captain Planet stopped at
the entrance.
"Oh don’t' worry about them," Stewie sighed "I can
handle them?"
"How, you are no longer huge?"
"Didn’t you read Dark Empires? All their pass codes are right
there."
"Very well!" he and the last two of our heroes(tm) jumped
through the portal.
(Stewie later used the emperor’s weapons to take over his U.)
Captain Planet landed on the deck of the Jolly Rodger just behind the
others. The clone was already running for the long boats and trying to
open up another portal, (which he did and out popped a moose and a
squirrel with pilot's goggles on) with Ggnictee and Spidercide in close
pursuit.
Around him lost boys and pirates were having a quaint debate with the
business ends of their swords.
The heroes ran straight past the battling Lost Boys and Pirates, heading
straight for Palpatine's clone who was heading for the life boat, still
carrying in his hand the power gem. King Ggnictee however, had gotten a
little excited at the thought of an actual sword fight and couldn't help
but get into a sword fight with two pirates. He would have battled more
but the rest of them were fighting different Lost Boys. As Palpatine's
clone was about to reach the life boats, Spidercide, using his agility
and powers, leapt forward tackling Palpatine's clone.
"You four cannot defeat me. I am the clone of the greatest Sith
Lord to ever rule the cosmos,” said the clone as Spidercide and Jimmy
the Dead continued to pin him down to the deck.
"Being a clone doesn't mean a thing, believe me, I know."
Spidercide had just grabbed the power gem from the clone and had already
tossed it to Adam Warlock when a strange light blinded everyone on board
the Jolly Roger. The dimensional portal, which the Palpatine clone had
come through had not yet closed but instead, was growing larger and
larger. Coming through the portal was the armies of imperial troops that
the Palpatine clone had brought and commanding those armies was none
other than Stewart Gilligan Griffin.
"Ha fools. You foolishly left me alone to take control of the
Imperial armies, thus allowing me to use the proper code words to take
control of them. They shall make an excellent addition to my cult
following once I have conquered the world. As for the rest of you, I
offer you one solitary chance for salvation. Return the power gem to me
immediately, or be destroyed.”
Jimmy looked thoughtful for a second, then shook his head and turned to
the Palpatine clone he was holding. He casually flicked his fingers to
snap the clones neck (enhanced strength can come in _so_ handy), then
addressed Stewie.
"Really. Codes, is it? Is the code in question
1Q36g4g35b7dt5?"
Suddenly, one of the World Devastators roared to life, moving with
insane speed across the armies, devouring them all in a heartbeat. The
stormtroopers fired at it, but being Stormtroppers the bolts ended up
shredding each other in a slaughter not seen since Ricky Martin was
called in to replace Bruce Springsteen at the Garden(tm).
"Damn. Oh well, next time,” said Stewie, as he quickly activated
his jetpack Diaper(tm) and rocketed off, laughing in his Mojo-Jojo-ish
way.
"How did you know the code?" asked Cap Planet.
"Well" said Jimmy "back when I was in the villain
business I figured that the Emperor would be a nuisance to the whole
"conquest" thing, so I invited him over one Friday night. He
was drunk, of course, and was babbling incoherently about how he told
some model to, quote, come aboard his command tower, unquote. Anyway
slipped a truth-sayer drug (stolen from a Bene Gesserit school) into
whatever it was he was drinking and asked him the codes. Apparently it
never occurred to him to change them. Anyway, now we at least have the
Emperor's clone's corpse and a World Devastator. So what’s the next
Gem?"
As the heroes gathered, they quickly leaped back through the dimensional
portal that had formed, returning back to Khazan. Upon returning,
Warlock paused for a moment as if meditating. Then, all of a sudden he
responded.
"We are heading after the Space Gem. Come we have little time
left."
"Who's got the Space Gem?" asked Captain Planet. "With
our luck, it'll be someone like Bart Simpson or Dogbert."
"How do you figure?" asked Jimmy the Dead.
"So far," Cap explained, "the recipients haven't exactly
been major cosmic threats without the power gems.
"But I don't want to look foolish in case I'm wrong."
Once again, traveling by a giant tornado conjured up by Captain Planet;
the group traveled, this time to an undisclosed location in the USA, the
city of Springfield. Upon arriving, the heroes found the city in
complete ruin. On virtually every wall throughout the city, the words
"El Barto" had been spray painted with the handwriting skills
of an elementary school kid. In certain parts of the city, certain
buildings look as if they had literally been picked up and then dropped
on other buildings. In the center of the town, Krusty the Clown was
doing a performance for a group of elementary school kids. Upon seeing
the heroes approach, Krusty soon stopped his act and got down on his
knees pleading before the heroes.
"Please, you got to help me. Every time I try to leave, something
just ends up making me reappear right in this same spot in front of
these same kids. Please help me."
"Adam," said Captain Planet, "can you sense Bart through
your soul gem?"
"Yes," said Adam Warlock.
"Good," said Captain Planet. "Now here's my plan..."
"WELL THAT’S A DUMB PLAN!" Adam looked at Captain planet who
had just finished telling his plan, and since everyone agreed with Adam,
Captain Planet agreed to let someone else come up with the plan.
He, Metamorph, and Adam were talking about warping and flanking when
Ggnictee got fed up after having given up the first near decent sword
fight he'd been in since he fought Osirus back in Egypt, "oh can't
we just rush the little prick?"
Spidercide nodded his head, "yeah head on rush, he's read our
comics, he'll at least be a little afraid of us right?"
Captain Planet shrugged, "head on rush then?"
Everyone nodded.
Adam led them to Bart who was standing in the middle of the field
watching his principle and teacher doing a little German dance for him.
They rushed him (and since he was distracted by the performance they
simply grabbed the gem) (a little to easy)
for no sooner had they grabbed the gem from the distracted Bart then a
scary man in black grabbed it from them.
"Yezz, dis vill do quiet nicely, von't it?" Yes (says the
narrator in an new Rocky and Bullwinkle style voice) it was none other
then Fearless Leader, after Rocky and Bullwinkle had been sucked from
his dimension it had only been a short time before he had conquered all
of his dimension and the two adjacent to his. Along with him were Boris
and Natasha and Snidely Whiplash (those villainous villains) and of
course a good 20,000 troops armed to the teeth.
"Very well, kill z'em dead boyz."
The troops rush in as Fearless Leader and his elites walk over to a
waiting dimensional portal to get the next gem before Palp. and pals can
get to it.
As he conjured up a wind strong enough to (literally) blow the villains
away, Cap couldn't help but feel something was amiss. Grabbing the Space
Gem had been too easy. He looked down at his hand. "Hey, this isn't
the Space Gem! It's a jelly bean!"
"Fearless Leader must've already gotten here first, before we
did!" exclaimed Cap, trying to get this straight.
"Wait a minute," said Bart, "are you saying I didn't have
the Space Gem? No wonder it was so sticky! I thought it was just sweaty
palms!"
The people Bart had been tormenting heard this as well, and freed of
their torment, they stopped their German dancing and threateningly
marched toward Bart with murder in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Cap flew up to Fearless Leader and, before the villain could
disappear, grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground, grabbing the
Space Gem from his hand.
"Adam!" he shouted, hurling the gem. "Catch!"
Adam Warlock reached out for the gem when Boris and Natasha ran in front
of him and snatched the gem before Adam could grab it. They took off
running but Bart Simpson came up from behind on his skateboard. He leapt
off it and tackled Boris and Natasha, grabbing the space gem back.
However, Metamorph had been watching and had come up with a plan. He
quickly transformed into Bart's mother, Marge Simpson and demanded that
Bart hand over the gem at once. Despite having the power of the Space
Gem at his disposal, any child knows it is impossible to say no to an
angry mother, even if it is just an imposter. So Bart quickly tossed the
Space Gem to Metamorph. Upon contact with the gem, Metamorph was thrown
into a trance. Through the gem, Metamorph gained a senseual perception
of the entire universe. It was as if a part of him was everywhere, and
yet nowhere at the same time through the gem. He quickly decided this
was too much for him to deal with and tossed the fourth gem to Adam
Warlock.
However, the battle was not yet over. Fearless Leader had managed to
regather his forces and they were readying to charge again. The heroes
readied themselves for battle but this time there were too many of them.
It was impossible for the heroes to try and defeat them all. Adam
Warlock looked on from afar and could not help but be overwhelmed by
frustration. He was trying to use the gems that they had captured to
stop Fearless Leader's armies but it was no good. Suddenly he remembered
the ruling of the Living Tribunal, the ultimate authority over such
cosmic matters in his universe. The Living Tribunal made it impossible
for the gems ever to be used in unison. He had to use each gem
separately but as long as he was bound to the soul gem, trying to use
any of the other gems would be like trying to use two gems at once,
which was strictly forbidden by the Living Tribunal. Thinking fast, he
gathered the gems that they had already collected; mind, power, and now
space, and tossed them to the three heroes of the group who had already
come in to contact with the gems respectively. He tossed the mind gem to
Spidercide, the power gem to Captain Planet and the newly acquired Space
gem to King Ggnictee, who he felt was better equipped mentally to deal
with the overwhelming sensory input of the Space gem, over Metamorph.
Upon each receiving their new gem, they acted almost as a force of
nature. With the mind gem at his disposal, Spidercide began attack some
of the troops minds, while also telekinetically lifting them into the
air and throwing them everywhere. With the power gem at his disposal,
Captain Planet's ecological based powers were magnified incredibly as he
began summoning cosmic thunder bolts, and calling upon a storm far worse
than the combined hurricanes of the last century. With the Space Gem at
his disposal, King Ggnictee began teleporting the soldiers to different
locations throughout the world, such as the mouth of a volcano, the
outer rim of a hurricane, the middle of the Bronx in New York, anywhere
that was sure to see the last of the troops.
By the time they were done, all of the troops were completely defeated
and Fearless Leader, Boris and Natasha, at the mental commands of
Spidercide and the mind gem, were trying to see which one of them could
pull their underwear over their heads first without tearing it. Soon
everything settled down and the heroes returned their respective gems to
Adam Warlock.
"Come then, we must try to find the time gem."
"Wait a minute", interrupted Spidercide, "how are we
going to be able to track a gem that lets the user travel through
time."
"It will be difficult. Therefore we must seek out a device that
will enable us to travel through not only time but space as well. We
will need to obtain the Infinity Improbability Drive."
(Insert dramatic music here)
Meanwhile in the emperor's secret hideout. "My plans are failing,
this group of...throw togethers are becoming annoying." the emperor
sulked
"yes my emperor but we shall stop him" Mara Jade (looking
comic book ravishing) smiled, "Thrawn and I will retrieve the next
gem fear not."
"Yes, good, we'd be doing much better if it weren’t' for the damn
narrators! I could kill them!"
Threatening a narrator!??! Just for that MR SHOT JEDI! Suddenly the
emperor’s cloak fell off revealing his heart-poka-dot boxers. There!
Now be nice
"ok sorry jeesh touchy"
and suddenly the boxers split in the back!
"Sorry sorry! Now go! Take all the troops you need there will be a
death star, an eclipse class star destroyer, a dozen (re-coded) world
devastators, and this man who I picked up in a previous RPG his name is
VenomMoriarty."
(Recap for those of you who remember Sherlock Holmes’s arch nemesis
Moriarty was taken over by venom)
"go now my soldiers, get the gems! Quickly"
"but where are we going emperor?"
"To the most dangerous dimension yet, where anything is possible
and even the rabbits are dangerous....IT'S!!!!
MONTY
PYTHON's FLYING CIRCUS" (Que. music)
Captain Planet sent a heart-telepathy message to Arthur Dent, Zaphod
Beeblebrox, Ford Prefect and Trillian. He briefed them on the situation,
then asked them politely if they could let our heroes borrow the IID.
It wasn't long before the heroes had all gathered inside the Infinity
Improbability Drive and were ready to get under way. In truth, there
wasn't a single person on board, except for Adam Warlock, that wasn't
nervous. The IID was a strange ship that teleported to the most random
places in the universe throughout time and space. It was far more likely
to take them to the beginning of the Universe than to the Time Gem,
which was exactly why Adam Warlock wanted it. For ironically enough, the
most unlikely place that the IID would take them now would be right
straight to the time gem and to it's new owner. As the IID came to life,
the heroes soon found themselves standing in front of a large castle.
Everywhere they looked, they saw large knights who kept standing there
saying the word "Ni" all the time. Large crowds people stood
in anxious anticipation as a woman and a duck were placed on the same,
scale, seeing if they weighed the same amount. And in the center of all
this activity, was a small, green and purple figure who looked like
something out of a bad episode of Star Trek. He had pointed ears, a
purple outfit, was green, and was hovering in the air. The entire place
seemed to have a medieval sense about it
"So, you like what I have done with the place?" asked the
Impossible Man.
It was amazing. None of the other heroes could begin to understand
anything that was happening in front of them. It was then that Adam
Warlock sensed the group's confusion and spoke up.
"Heroes, welcome to a land completely changed by the warped mind of
the Impossible Man and the power of the time gem."
"You mean the Impossible Man did all this?" Asked Metamorph,
who was having as difficult a time as everyone else believing it.
"Yep, it's all me," answered the Impossible Man. "I did
the whole thing by myself. It was easy really. Once I had the time gem,
I decided to pop over to this universe, and then I used the time gem to
go so far back in time that human were still beating each other with
dead animal bones. I taught them how to be fun..."
"And you introduced your brand of foolishness and silliness into
everyone on earth in this Universe, thereby creating the Monty Python
universe." finished Adam Warlock.
The heroes couldn't believe what had happened when suddenly a rumbling
sound was heard. The group looked up into the air to see a group of
Eclipse Devastators hovering over head. They blocked out the sun,
creating a Solar Eclipse effect over the land. Suddenly, the heroes
heard the sound of thousands of footsteps as Stormtroopers piled over
the land, surrounding the heroes. The heroes looked on to see the armies
being led by none other than Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade. Thrawn was
the first to speak.
"Hand over the gems immediately or you shall be destroyed."
The heroes looked around and saw no hope of escape when suddenly,
something leaped out and bit the head off of an unlucky Stormtrooper. It
then leaped again at another Stormtrooper, biting his head off. As the
heroes looked, they could see this creature to be a small white rabbit.
The heroes didn't bother to ask questions, but instead leapt into
action. Captain Planet leapt into the air and fired a brown beam
directly at the ground. Things became a little shaky after that, which
was precisely what Captain Planet had wanted. He had started an
earthquake, which was throwing the Stormtoopers all off balance. The
rest of the heroes leaped into action, attacking the Stormtroopers with
the ferocity of a pack of animals. Spidercide had used his powers to
increase his mass, making him now 12 feet taller and proportionally
larger when al of the sudden, a figure resembling Venom, leaped out and
tackled Spidercide. It was VenomMoriarty, but it might as well have been
simply Venom. At the sight of Spidercide, having mistaken him for the
hero that it had originally been spurned by, the Venom symbiote had
taken complete control of Moriarty and wanted nothing more than to
completely devour Spidercide's brains.
Mara Jade was not interested in the battle between VenomMoriarty and
Spidercide but instead moved to ambush the Impossible Man when suddenly,
from behind she was hit in the head by a knight all dressed in black.
The knight drew his sword and charged Mara Jade but she leapt to her
feet, and, upon drawing her lightsaber, cut his left arm off.
Mara Jade: Now, get out of my way.
Black Knight: ‘Tis but a scratch.
Mara Jade: A scratch!? Your arm is cut off.
Black Knight: No it isn't.
Mara Jade: Then what's that.
Mara Jade pointed to the detached arm. The knight looked down at it for
a moment, then looked back at Mara Jade.
Black Knight: I've had worse.
Mara Jade: Liar!
Black Knight: Come on you pansy.
The two continued to battle. The Black Knight charged again and this
time, Mara Jade cut off his other arm.
Mara Jade: Now get out of my way.
Mara Jade turned back after the Impossible Man when the black knight
kicked her in the back, knocking her down to the ground.
Black Knight: Come on then.
Mara Jade: What?
Black Knight: Have at you.
Mara Jade quickly got to her feet.
Mara Jade: You are quite foolish. Can't you see that I have won?
Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh.
Mara Jade: Look you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
Mara Jade: Look.
Mara Jade pointed to the two detached arms. The Black Knight looked down
again at the arms, and then looked back at Mara Jade.
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound.
At this, Mara Jade's frustration had reached critical and so, grabbing
her lightsaber, she then sliced the Knight in half, cutting his upper
waist apart from his legs and lower abdomen.
Black Knight: All right. We'll call it a draw.
Mara Jade walked away from the Black Knight but she had given Metamorph
the chance he needed. Having gathered enough energy for a plasma blast,
he fired at Mara Jade. Although Mara Jade managed to use her lightsaber
in time, the blast was so powerful that in knocked her to the ground. At
the same time, she had unknowingly deflected the blast straight at
Admiral Thrawn, killing the admiral on the spot. Unfortunately,
Metamorph had used so much energy in the blast that he began to revert
to his liquid form.
Meanwhile, the rabbit creature had killed hundreds of Stormtroopers,
either by biting their heads off, or by avoiding their laser blasts,
thereby getting the Stormtroopers to hit each other with their own
weapons. With the heroes tearing the lines apart and their leader
killed, it wasn't long before the Stormtroopers ran away.
Hey guys, "asked Jimmy the Dead, "what are we going to do
about those Devastators?
"Let's recycle these suckers!" shouted Captain Planet, and he
flew through the Devastators, turning them all into Swiss cheese (not
literally, of course). The crews of the Devastators were forced to make
bumpy landings on the ground, but aside from stunning and some bruises
were all right.
Captain Planet then proceeded to forcibly empty out the ships and make
their crews evacuate. Once everyone was out, he proceeded to recycle
every bit of metal, glass, and plastic he found into sheets.
"By the way," he asked, "where's the Impossible Man? He
didn't get away, did he?"
“No he did not,” called the strangely absent Ggnictee, who was at
the moment holding Impossible Man by his legs in one hand and the gem in
the other.
"Let’s get out of here,” he said as he tossed the gem to Adam,
"I have a plan for all of these people," They all leapt
through a portal, but before he left ggnictee hit play on a very loud
portable stereo.
After 10 seconds of silence it began (in all known languages) to tell a
joke ggnictee had gotten from a tall man in drag.
It was the funniest joke ever and killed off everyone within a light
year (it was a very loud stereo) though laughter.
As for the world devastators, the special effects guy who was making
them suddenly had a fatal heart; thus the computer-generated peril had
ended.
As the heroes returned to their own universe, Adam Warlock gathered all
the gems together. He counted them, and then afterwards, looked at the
heroes.
"We are still missing one gem, the reality gem. We must seek it
out."
This time, rather than using Captain Planet's tornado powers to fly
after the gem, Adam tossed the gem to Metamorph, who had recovered a
long time ago. Now more mentally prepared for the sudden sensory input
rush that came with contact with the space gem, Metamorph was able to
use the gem, with the proper instructions from Adam Warlock, to teleport
the entire group for the reality gem.
The emperor himself had gone after this gem and had retrieved it without
incident. He now waited in his layer at the center of the galaxy waiting
for what he knew would come. He had gone around and collected the best
of the best or the bad from around the multiverse to protect him.
And he lay in wait. Dark Jedi, Zerg queens, the guy from scream,
Deceptions, assassins, republicans, and the wicked witch of the west.
All the evil people he could find he had brought to protect him from his
foes. And this time he would lead them himself
"By Gaia!" exclaimed Captain Planet when our heroes discovered
this. (It was the closest thing to something like "Holy sh**!"
he could bring himself to screaming.)
"Not only does the Emperor have the reality gem, but check out that
army he's got!"
"He must have some mojo working for him," said the obviously
impressed Jimmy the Dead. As he mumbled something about putting a resume
together, Captain Planet started thinking.
"If I remember correctly," said the Captain, "the Reality
Gem needs the other gems to function, or else, kaboom." He would
have kaboomed louder, but didn't want to draw attention to their
observation post.
"If that's false, our only chance may well be to use our own
Infinity Gems to try to counter the Reality Gem."
“I am afraid that is quite untrue Captain Planet. The reality gem is a
formidable gem in it's own right and in no way dependent on the other
gems for function. As for the gems that we have gathered, I must advise
against their use. If we are unable to over power the emperor, we will
have revealed their location to him, and that is a risk that I cannot
sanction." said Adam Warlock, who seemed deep in thought.
As the heroes began a further study of the base, King Ggnictee pointed
out a young boy that Jimmy the Dead recognized as Calvin. The heroes
rationalized that he must have been the one who had found the reality
gem before the emperor had stolen it from him. Suddenly, Spidercide came
up with an idea. It was a stupid idea, but it was the only one that he
had though of. Without the approval of the other heroes, Spidercide
quickly morphed into a Stormtrooper and walked casually towards the
base. Thinking that is might be wise to make sure Spidercide stayed out
of trouble, Metamorph did the same and followed after Spidercide.
Unfortunately, Metamorph was unable to find Spidercide after losing him
in the hordes of Stormtroopers already there.
Meanwhile, Spidercide snuck towards the cage where Calvin was locked in.
As he used his strength to break the cage, Calvin rushed up to him and
asked him who he really was.
"The name is Spidercide", he answered "and what I want to
do is give you the reality gem back. Do you think you can help me."
Calvin was hesitant, after all the idea of going up against that kind of
army seemed like suicide. But then again, if he had the reality gem
back, Calvin could destroy the entire army in a hundred different ways.
So he agreed.
"Okay then, lets get you your gem back,” said Spidercide finally.
Spidercide (who was not good at making plans in the first place) did not
know what to do next, because his plan ended with getting Calvin’s
help. Spidercide soon found himself annoyed with the boy who was
babbling about having lost someone named Hobbes in the crowd. Spidercide
was about to tell him to shut up when the distraction he'd been waiting
for appeared. Ggnictee, Jimmy, and Captain Planet came into view cutting
down storm troopers and super villains like grass, while yelling,
"GET THE GEM TO ADAM!"
Spidercide saw Adam. He was using all his energy to keep from being seen
by anyone (especially the emperor) if things did not go well he was
going to run for it and hide the gems.
Suddenly in the middle of the surprised mob of Stormtroopers one started
attacking the others with his arms which appeared to have doubled in
number and turned to blades.
"Come on" he told Calvin, "while I distract the emperor
you run up grab that gem and get it to the guy over there" he
pointed at Adam.
"Ok, but where’s Hobbes!" Calvin whined
"Shut up and come on"
"Okay”
They made they're way up toward the emperor who was directing the
battle. Calvin snuck around behind him as Spidercide walked up front
shedding his disguise and once again becoming himself. "Give me the
gem or die!" he shouted making as much of a commotion as possible
so that Calvin could pick the emperor’s pocket unnoticed.
"Oh I don’t think that will happen. And now young spider clone,
you, will, die..." the emperor raised his hands on his last word
and lighting shot at Spidercide. He didn’t' have a chance to dodge or
move, he just fell to the ground, "oh and I’m afraid your young
friend is quite detained. I had a squad of my best troops grab him a
moment ago. Not even ewoks could stop me now!" He fired another
shot at Spidercide, pining him down again.
Suddenly Calvin yelled at the top of his lungs, "HOBBES!!!!!"
as a giant tiger leaped out tackling the emperor and taking the gem away
from him. Spidercide used all his strength to grab the gem and throw it
to Adam. Right as Adam grabbed the last gem everyone in the room but the
heroes disappeared. All their wounds were gone and they were suddenly
standing together in the middle of the room. Adam stood above them
towering at a 100 feet tall.
He bellowed at them in a booming voice, "you heroes are easily
fooled! Now I have the gems I am all-powerful! Now I’m afraid I have
to kill you."
"At least we will die with honor!" Ggnictee drew excalaber and
raced forward. A dozen knights appeared before him. He cut them down
quickly.
"You are more powerful then I though Ggnictee. But it will not be
enough."
Suddenly a dozen more knights appeared. Spidercide rushed forward,
"the highlander is right, if we must die, the let us die as we
began, together with dignity!"
"Oh it is so sad to see you like this! But I know all your
weaknesses. Oh, Spidercide a friend of yours was having a family
reunion, I told them all to drop by." suddenly a Spiderman
appeared, then another, then another, then they were all around
Spidercide. The Spidermen rushed in together completely covering him.
Ggnictee began to run to his aid when a virtual tidal wave of sheep hit
him stampeding over him, "oh Ggnictee be careful I hear your
allergies are deadly!" Adam laughed. "Oh and Metamorph I have
a present for you to." Suddenly Metamorph was surrounded by a gel,
which he could not escape. No matter what he morphed to the gel stayed
around him choking him and sucking his energy.
"And Jimmy you I don’t' know what to do with so I’ll just have
to bury you, well you are dead aren’t' you?" a giant hole
appeared below jimmy. He fell in closely followed by ton after ton of
dirt and rock.
"Oh and the captain of the team. I haven’t forgotten about
you." suddenly the captain was encased in a box made entirely of
cashew cans, "yes those are cashews, oh my what a lot of rainforest
trees must have been cut down to make those. And just to be on the safe
side I’ve surrounded the cage in unused (and yet thrown away)
plastic-non recyclable diapers!!! Ahhahah! Oh and once last thing"
suddenly the cage began to fill with hot green radioactive waste,
"you fools! How can you stop me! Not even God can stop me!"
there was a slight breeze and all of Adams nightmares disappeared and
the heroes were once again standing together. In front of them stood a
short man with a dark beard. He called out to Adam.
"Ggnictee do you know that language?" captain p looked at
ggnictee.
"Of course I do! I’m a nomad, I travel. I know more languages the
C3PO!" Ggnictee spat back.
"Well what was it what did he say?"
"It was Yiddish and he said, "is that so?"
Adam bellowed back at the man in the same language. Everyone looked at
ggnictee.
"Yes that is so, now move aside or face my wrath." he
translated.
The man spoke again, again everyone looked at Ggnictee.
"It is never to late to repent."
Suddenly Adam raised the six gems above his head and seemed about to
fire a blast of something at the man. Suddenly the gems shattered into
six pieces. One piece from each gem fell in front of each of our
heroes(tm) and as they hit the ground they melted into one gem. The
other sixth of each gem disappeared into nothingness.
Adam now returned to his regular size lay on the ground dying.
The small man walked up to him. Adam looked up, "is it to late to
repent?"
"It is never to late." the man responded. Adam stood up and
then a slight breeze rose and they disappears.
Then a voice boomed from everywhere, "I have given you each a gem
containing one sixth of all of the gems. They will give you each great
power. Now go and defend the defenseless, help the helpless and defeat
the...defeatless."
Then they were left in silence, each with his own gem.
"Well," Metamorph sighed, "what now?"
"We make a team and save the multiverse?" suggested Jimmy.
Everyone agreed that that sounded like a good idea.
"Where should we start?" Ggnictee asked?
"I know this great place in the marvel U where you can get the best
pastrami sandwich.." Spidercide said.
"Sounds good. And no place needs as much saving as the marvel
U."
"You know," Metamorph talked as they walked into the Marvel
U's New York city, "I hear if you get into a good Spiderman story
line you're practically immortal."
"You look kinda down, Planet," said king ggnictee.
"It's just that...I dunno," said Captain Planet. "All
through this RPG I've been beaten up, naysayed, proven wrong, stuff like
that. I feel like such a doofus."
"You're not a doofus," king ggnictee reassured him.
"I should hope not," said Captain Planet. "It's just that
I wanted to be taken seriously as a superhero. That's the reason I was
in this RPG in the first place. I mean, I've tried as hard as the next
guy to be a hero, right?
"All I want is for people to care. That's all I've ever wanted, is
for people to care."
"If it makes you feel better," said Jimmy the Dead, "you
really kicked butt during the battles."
"Still, I felt uncomfortable using violence” complained Captain
Planet. "But I guess I'll have to take that as a sign of
support."
