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

Oh, an impulse thing? That's cool.

*Glances out the window*

Sorry. No pun intended.

[Mackenzie mutters something to YK, who looks puzzled for a moment and then brightens]

[YK] Oh, of course. I've got the Five Keys to the carbon-freezing unit we put Elizabeth in. I'm going to give one to each of you other people, since I can't trust you clones -- no offense, guys -- to keep it away from the others for long, and Link -- Where's Link?

[Burton shows a very cold Link into the room, along with Navi. Link is wearing a kid's snowsuit, snowpants, etc. and he is wearing the kind of wollen cap with ear flaps]

[Link] Boy, that's three times you've saved me, Navi!

[Navi] {Sure!}

[Link sees Mackenzie. The earflaps pop upward and a surprized expression crosses Link's face]

[Mewtwo] }S'matter? Bee in your bonnet?{

*Takes one of the keys from YK. Looks at it*

Okay, so explain this to me. Is this carbon freezing chamber unlockable with just *one* key, or does it require all of them?

[YK] All five. Here. [takes the red one, which Affy took, and gives him the yellow one] You get the Key of Knowledge. Mewtwo, [hands him the red one] you get the Key of Power. Billian, [hands him the blue one] you get the Key of Courage. Bob knows you've shown enough of that. Bluebottle, [yellow] you get the Key of Wisdom. And Eo and Paul, [green] you get the Key of Good.

[Burton] Warning! Clone alert!

[Y2K immediately rushes toward the Sith Infiltrator he hid in the middle of nowhere]

[Mewtwo] }What!? Where!?{

[Y2K] Uh-oh. [flips mask down and continues running]

[Nerfal] Augh! The enemy! Defend the snacks!

[YC] Catch him! If he gets away --

[YK pulls a lever. A purple burst of light engulfs the room, and everything fades]

[Huh?]

I believe I'm justified in saying that "I've got a bad feeling about this."

[On the grounds that YK is having a zark of a time trying to get Netscape to work today, I'll be using his persona]

[YK] No need to panic! -- Oh, ZARK!!

[There is complete pitch blackness.]

[Everyone is teleported to their respective homes with the keys]

*Affy vanishes to his user space (located in the mysterious part of CLI that not even STUMPED has been able to penetrate). When he opens his eyes and sees his room, he sighs*

That was just becoming an interesting conversation...

[The house also explodes]

[Y2K boards the Sith Infiltrator]

[Echoing Voice Over: Y2K's evil laughter]
