h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[voice coming from behind a large pile of packing crates in the corner]

'Is it safe to come out yet ?'

No.

[The Pimple-Faced Kid snaps "his" fingers. Mackenzie and YK return to their original genders: YK is wearing blue jeans, a black shirt, and a red jacket. Mackenzie is wearing her green Deanna Troi outfit. YK arms his lightsaber and Mackenzie starts throwing bolts of lightning]

OK [from behind packing crates]

Giguschild senses that this is the moment where some dumb superheroe will try to attack KL and will be set upon by his minions, and possibly imprisoned. He therfore scrambles back into the APC via the torn off hatch, and with a rumble and a skrrrreeeeek, wheelspins the squat tank through the wall and trambles wildly off down the wide corridor beyond, scraping the wall and leaving showers of sparks.

Death Avocado's mini cannons slowly spin to a halt and slide smoothly behind his back. With a mighty, freem-powered leap he powers through the tattered dent in the ceiling and is away. He chucks a few TAK-Tomatoes through the hole, giggling, and spangs away as dull booms rock the space center.

*NYC, apparently having been ignored for 30 or so posts...*

umm... looks as if I can't do much with THIS...

*NYC throws M60 aside, and dons his shoulder-mounted howitzer (thanks to the fine black supermarket of Red's), and puts on a matching UV/IR/VR helmet that conveniently plugs into the howitzer*

I may be a bit late for the height of this battle, but if YK's still here...

*four burning white salvoes now head in YK's direction. NYC lowers the howitzer*

ow! nobody told me there'd be that much of a kickback!

[Voice from somewhere near the back corner]

As Station Fire Chief can I just point out that all of this is against station regs

<...Then, from the overlooked corner where Emar and Zeb reside, there comes a thunderous cacaphony "KACHUNK" sounds...>

<...The action ceaces and the hangar grows silent as every hero/villain turns towards the corner with a questioning look...>

Zeb(dropping his several-hundred weapons): Well if that don't beat all! Who woulda thought that ALL of my weapons would have suffered hang-fires SIMULTANEOUSLY?! Heh heh, boy my face is red (if a puppet were capable of having such physiological reactions).

<...From the pile of weapons facing outward from Zeb/Emar, a shot rings out. A cyanide coated shell is suddenly ricocheting about the control area, forcing all who are nearby to eat dirt (or in this case, plasteel hangar-floor). Then another of Zeb's weapons goes off. And another. And another. And soon all of the armament's delayed triggerings are kicking in, turning the entire hangar into a storm of death...>














(Editors Note: START THE FIGHT WITHOUT ME, WILL YA?!!

*sea, lying on the floor, reaches up a hand and stops all the flying objects in the room, Matrix-style. they drop to the floor, harmless. sea slowly climbs to her feet, swaying slightly due to continuity sickness*

[sea] curses on all you non-US people! i have SCHOOL all day! i can't believe all that happened in the last 12 hours. stupid school makes me miss all the good battles... oh well. at least we did what we needed to.

*evillene, forgotten on the floor, moans*

*on the floor*

what we needed to do? can someone fill me in on what exactly that was?

*sea wobbles and falls down again*

[sea] open the portal and retrieve the KL's buddies. i think.

Can you guys just give me a shout when its safe to come out

[sea] much as i'd like to have you hide there all night, happy, you can come out.

Emar: Just don't step on the shells fired off from Zeb's guns, Happy Dude. Even though sea stopped them from flying through the air, a lot of them could still explode where they lay.

~The Raven, having been absent these last several posts, returns to the hangar and lands amid the wreckage of the battle. The Masque leaves the ship~

Well, well, well, KL, I see you saw fit to have your fun without me. No matter, I've just contacted the Rodentar Mangol Alliance (Henceforth, "The Alliance") and arranged for a few thousand troops to use as back-up for your pan-dimensional army.

~Arms Snowzar~

Now, do you want me to do something with these heros? The Alliance fleet should be making the jump out of hyperspace momentarily


THe Alliance consists of two alien species, formerly leaderless and unorganized, which Red took under his wing, so to speak, in the Mission to Zork/ Voyage of the Raven threads.

You sure its safe ?

*Evillene sneaks over to where Kudos is held in frozen captivity, thaws him out, and they dissappear.*

*A moment later, Sea's brand-new spaceship rises from the parking lot outside the hangar*

*Sea picks up a pair of binoculars, looks in the spaceship's windows as it flies off, and runs out in anger after it, shouting:*

NOT AGAIN!!!! EWWWWWWW!!!!

*the bad/good guys all show looks of disgust, then carry on with the fray.*

[Mackenzie flies into the air]

[YK] Uh-oh.

[She fires a blast of energy at all the bad guys. It sends them all sprawling]

<...Rising from his sprawled positon on the floor, Zeb is angrily shaking a small soda can...>

Zeb: I may have just lost most (but not all) of my firearms, but I still got plenty of THESE!

[gets up and shoots at Mackenzie with his Snowzar]
