Arrowyn smiled, stretching his rotten cheek flesh, causing a few blackened scales to fall off and clatter noisly on the floor.

The zombie dragon was in a good mood.

Arrowyn sat behind his DragonWay© computer, (Advertisment cuts in and a female dragon steps into view, patting a computer, and moaned in a singsong voice "Get your DragonWay© custom built computers for dragons!") and clicked on his DragonWay© dragon sized mouse, uploading a typical random bad lemon he recently completed on his newly installed cable modem. There was something strange about the cable man who installed it. Something Arrowyn could not quite put a claw on. Arrowyn also wished that annoying "CableMan" theme song would stop already.

"Hehe! And the AFC Kingdom loonies are still stuck on a 56k modem! Now the Elemonators cant hope to beat me!" Arrowyn chuckled in a voice that sounded like dry bone snapping. After a few minutes of Typical Evil Overlord© insane laughter, his empty eye sockets, filled with an eerie black glow, came to rest on the orderly standing silently to the side, absorbing every detail of the cat woman's features, her dark tan skin, her perfectly groomed waist length pink hair. Arrowyn's bony claw twitched at the sight of the orderly's lovely jets of long pink hair, and feline ears resting atop her head.

echoed in the dragon's mind.

He had to punish somebody, just because the dragon was in a happy mood today.

"Agent Pink!" Arrowyn called out in a dry, raspy voice, not unlike dry, wrinkled leather.

"Yes MASTER!" Agent Pink snapped to attention. "How May I serve my Master?"

Arrowyn smiled, revealing his black teeth.

"Lemme curl your hair!"

Agent Pink's eyes widened with an audiable 'Boing!' and stared at the neon green curlers in the dragon's enormous claw, "NO! I ate the last piece of the lemon pie last night! I swear it was me! Whip me! Stuff me into the iron maiden! Break my finger joints! Anything but thaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The zombie dragon only grinned even further and cast his massive shadow on the terrified catwoman.

The deitzens of the dark castle stirred at the catwoman's anguished cries of displeasure at having her hair permed. A net search and a click away, a pair of black furried ears perked up.

"Hmm?" War-ouki turned his head and looked down the corridor. The hallway remained cheerfully empty. "My imagination...? I thought I heard a catbabe beg for mercy?" The little cabbit looked down at his cabbit sized mug, with kawaii carrot stencil patterns around the mug. "Must be the coffee... too much carrot sugar." War-ouki mused softly and resumed walking down the hall with a duck like gait, due to his oversized hind legs. The corridor ended with a 2 way sliding metal door, a sign hung from the hook in the center, scrawled in black chalk letterings: 'Cockpit. Keep out. And that MEANS you, War-ouki. And K`thardin too. Or I'll introduce you to Mr. Table. - Yayoi'

But the cabbit happily phased through the door, heedless of the dire warning, into the braincenter of the Midorishu. The cockpit was empty as War-ouki emerged from the closed door. "Ah good... good. Indeed this is good! Uh uh, yup yup!" War-ouki nodded to himself "Now let's find some secrets about our lovely ladies...." and hopped into one of the chairs. Meanwhile in another section of the Midorishu...

Marvelboy sat in one of the tiger-striped easy chairs, reading an Adventures of Marvelboy comic book and murmured an occasional imitation of Duke Nukem's maxim: "Damn, I'm good!" Across the room, Seion and Yayoi were engaged in a spitball war. Overturned furniture hopelessly soaked wet with spit, served well as covers. In the center of the room, Literary Eagle and K`thardin were deeply engrossed in a game of what K`thardin called "Bungee Twister", bascially

a game of Twister with a bungee cord attached to the players. Lita and K`thardin had become hoplessly tangled, and somehow Honey Kisrangi and the lamp, along with the table leg had gotten involved. For some reason, K`thardin couldnt stop smiling, despite the fact Lita and Honey were glaring daggers at him.

Lesell sat at the far side of the room, behind the tiger striped couch, scribbing something on a whiteboard that rested on her knees. GeoDuck stood before her, bedecked in a straw skirt and a lulu flower necklace, topped by a rediculous huge straw hat overflowing with every known fruit, or so it seemed. "Geoduck!" GeoDuck whined, shifting his webbed feet uncomfortably. "Oh, hush. And stand still, GeoDucky." Lesell smiled that kawaii smile that made the hearts of pokemons turn into liquid "I'm almost done with the drawing.. and after that..." Her tone faltered, and her eyes sparkled dangerously "Oh, you're sooooo kawaii! I'm gonna HUGGLE you and SQUEEZE you, then CONSTRICT your kawaii..." The pokemon shifted nervously at Lesell's tirade. A half second later, the psiduck was doing an perfect imitation of bagpipe being squeezed by a drunken scotsman.

In the kitchen, AleeN and Masami glared at eachother across the kitchen table, each side surrounded by endless open food containers. A blender, overflowing with something green and sticky that resembled the green goo from the movie Ghostbusters, nestled in the center of the table separated the ocean of open containers. AleeN and Masami both had boasted that they made the best milkshake in the whole AFC. And when Masami claimed his milkshake ingredients were better than AleeN's, AleeN counterclaimed back, and so...

"Applesauce?" Masami asked. AleeN nodded "Half teaspoon. And pray that it doesnt explode this time." "Amen." Masami spoke softly as he dumped the spoon's contents into the coconition(SP) causing the green surface to bubble dangerously. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" AleeN yelled, ducking under the table. "Right!" Masami grabbed the Indestructable Wooden Spoon® and ducked underneath.

Burble blublub popopop bubble....

Silence. Orrible silence. Awful orrible silence. Deadly silence... ahem. Well, you get the idea.

Masami spoke first from underneath the table "Okay... set the blender at puree and make SURE it's low this time!" "Hey! It was *YOU* who set it at high the last time!" AleeN retorted, reaching for the blender.

Whirr whirr *crackle snap pop* POOF!

Thick black smoke poured out of the kitchen, and flooded the hallway.

-Back in the living room...-

Kiyone_Type_Person sat in front of the ultimate entertainment center - an 52 inch tv, and hi quality speakers - playing a game of Final Fantasty 8 on his Playstation, when the PA system crackled to life... with indiscernable gibberish:

"Gargle howl gargle argh argh, howl howl gargle growl growl gargle argh howl growl! Growl gargle growl argh howl howl..."

Kiyone_Type_Person blinked then grimaced "Great... where did I put that fish...?"

"Who's using the PA?! I thought I told you to lock the cockpit!" Yayoi screamed at Honey who was struggling to free herself from the K`thardin-Lita entanglement "Records indicate that *YOU* were the last to leave, Yayoi." Honey said coldly. "Androids never forget." Yayoi folded her arms with an audiable "Hmph!" "Wonder who's that babbling away" MarvelBoy mused. "That sounds like War-ouki." Seion said from his spot behind a overturned chair "And he's doing a baaaaaaaaaaaaad impression of the Vogons from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Honey stood up, having freed herself from K`thardin's Bungee Twister, and exclaimed "Lemme expand my translation field to cover you all!"

A slight crackle of electrity ran through the room, and the PA went from gibberish to plain english.

"...darnit!! #@!@, #$%&^%$%#$%, damn hot coffee!!!!! Burn me tongue! &^&%!! Dammit! %#%@! Damn!..."

Silence. Orrible silence. Orrible, orrible silence blanketed the living room for several long moments, except for the swearing on the PA

Everybody sweatdropped. "Oh my, such vulgarity." Lesell said, breaking the silence. "Can I kill him?" Yayoi begged. "Ahem." Seion cleared his throat. "Let's take an commerical break first... THEN we'll kill him."

Lita popped in front of the screen, smiling cutely and flashing her hand out in a 'V' sign and cheerfully exclaimed "We'll be right back after those Messages!" "Yes. Presidental debates shall return after those messages...." Al Gore appeared by Lita. "Just dont touch the Back button on your browser!" Lita's eyes bogged, then returned back to normal. "Ahem. Just WHAT are you doing here?" Lita demanded "This is a fictional world! How'd you get in here?!?!" Al Gore stratched the back of his head and chuckled "Ahh... we politicans like to keep our power in liquid form, rather than in solid form, and invade every nook and cranny out there..."

-Fade out with Lita welding her AFC Presidental BFM (Big Freaking Mallet) and advancing upon an unsuspecting Al Gore-

-Fade in-

A doctor looked up and spoke to the nurse in a urgent tone "She's dilated. And it's on the way out!" The nurse dressed in a pink nurse's outfit conforted the patient "Relax, Aeka... and push." Aeka grunted and cried in pain. Doctor shouted "I can see it! One more time! Yes! I got it!" and pulled out a long object from between her legs and wrapped it in foil and presented to Aeka "Congrats! It's a AFCWay Aeka Supreme sub sandwich!" Aeka cradled the sandwich in her arms and exclaimed "Oh! It looks *SO* yummy! Hand me the grey poupon!" The nurse nodded and looked at the reader's general direction and winked. A sign materalized in front of the nurse that read: "Only $3.99! Available at your local AFCWay restaurant!"

(Author notes: Nobody's gonna get THIS joke. ^_-)

-fade out-

-Fade in with our cabbit of destruction staring at the Tv in utter disblief-

War-ouki: Waitamin! Who paid for this ad to run?! AFCWay Agent: We did. And you allowed us to run this on your segment. War-ouki: I did? When? AFCWay Agent: Here. *shows War-ouki a contract* You signed this last week, remember? War-ouki: Oh, THAT. Now I remember... but this advertisment's kinda... uhm... y'know... controversal. AFCWay Agent: So is. The more controversal it is, the better the attraction is to customers! Oh, here comes Aeka! Aeka: Hello! War-ouki: O.O AFCWay Agent: Your higness... allow me to replay this wonderful advertisment War-ouki allowed us to play on his segment... War-ouki: Oh crap...

-replay of the AFCWay sub sandwich advertisment-

Aeka: O_o WAR! WAR NO BAKA! *Pulls out her steel whip and chases the cabbit* War-ouki: Ack! Der frauelin! *Runs* It wasnt meeeeeee!

-fade out-

-Fade in back aboard the Midorishu-

"Okay, we're back!" Lita stood up, completely free from the Bungee Twister entanglement. "Now... let's resume whatever we were doing before the messages..." "Yeah. Kill the cabbit and meet the new character this bio's supposed to introduce." finished a blackened Masami with his hair blasted back, like a Looney Tunes character after a bad experience with explosives.

As if on cue, the speaker crackled to life with War-ouki's voice: "Yayoi! I found this thingie under the cockpit, behind a panel and it has your name on it! Dunno what it is... kinda long and smells funny." Yayoi's eyes went wide and she turned red as a beet. Every eye in the group slowly turned on her.

Somebody snickered.

Without any warning, Yayoi lunged at the speaker, indending to rip it out, but was stopped by Seion. "Easy! I cant let you hurt my speaker! You dont know how much it cost me!" Seion restrained the redhead.

"I'll STRAP that $#@! cabbit to the table!" Yayoi screamed, messing Seion's hair. Once again the speaker crackled to life with War-ouki's high pitched voice: "Ooh! I found this *Really* mushy email from K`thardin to Tsunami!" K`thardin's eyes widened. And every eye turned to stare at K`thardin.

Then the speaker crackled once again "It says... 'How many times I shall climb over thee roots...? And how so much I miss your sap... and your leaves... I ought light a campfire and sink the tent support in so deep... Wait, m'dear... just wait... I shall come back to you. -Luv K`thardin' How's this for major mushiness?!"

"Whoa." Lita looked at K`thardin and smiled "I didnt realize you were such a Romeo..." K`thardin didnt hear those words. He quivered, as a glow eveloped him.

"Kuso!" AleeN yelled "He's gonna blow as well!"

"KAME." K`thardin threw his arms above his head and a massive ball of energy begain to form in his hands.

"NO!" Seion yelled frantically "NOT IN THE SHIP!"

"HAME." K`thardin remorselessly

"HIT THE DIRT!" Lesell yelled, diving behind the ever present and indestructable couch. Everybody else followed suit. "FIRE IN THE HOOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" Masami cried, diving for cover.

"HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" K`thardin finished, thrusting his hands forward. An enormous blast of energy issued forth from his hands and crashed through the bulkheads of the Midorishu, turning War-ouki into Kentucky Fried Cabbit in the process.

"Hah! That felt damn good!" K`thardin let out a breath of relief and held out a 'V' handsign. "Been a loooooong time since I destroyed something!" Then the floor lurched and gave out from underneath him. "You lumminox!" Honey shouted from behind the couch "You just destroyed the cockpit!! The Midorishu's out of control!"

"Oops." K`thardin grinned sheepishly. "Hold on! We're gonna crash!" Kiyone Type Person yelled

Everything went from shaky to really shaky, then to jell-o doing a very good impression of being a pancake being flipped. Then suddenly the shaking came to an grinding halt with heavy metallic groaning.

---------

Seion untangled himself from the mass of people and was the first to stand up, rubbing his head "Damn, that was a wild ride..." Seion sighed as he surveyed the damage.

Lesell soon appeared at Seion's side. "Yeah... but let's get our bearings first. AleeN! Form an away team and find where we are!" Lesell ordered.

"Ok..." Aleen nodded and pointed "Masami, MarvelBoy, you're with me." With that, the trio stepped out.

Outside, MarvelBoy looked around and said "Looks like we're in a forest..." Tall trees stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Oh Jeez. The HTML forest." Masami groaned. "Watch out for creatures, Especially the 404 Errors's." AleeN turned and stared at Masami for a long moment. "How'd you know?" AleeN finally asked. Masami blinked "Know what?" "The HTML Forest. How'd you know?" AleeN pressed. "Oh... it was a wild guess. Actucally, hahaha, I dont even know where we are!" Masami rocked on his heels and chuckled nervously.

AleeN and Marvelboy facefaulted!

Suddenly MarvelBoy tensed "Hark! I sense sombody near!" AleeN and Masami turned their heads in MarvelBoy's direction "Where?" "Over there." answered MarvelBoy pointing at a clump of bushes. "Hostle?" AleeN whispered in a low voice "Dunno." MarvelBoy answered "Let's take positions."

Before they could do anything, a large man in combat fatigues stepped out, carrying a rather large and very *deadly* looking gun in one hand and a tool bag in another. "Hole it! Ah dun wanna keel anybuddy and git fired frim me job!" The stranger shouted in a thick Scottish/turkish/european/street/pig latin/mechanic/CEOofBigCorporation accent. A tree several paces away, folded upon itself and warped into a jar of Mayonaise.

"Huh?!" Masami's eyes widened in horror upon hearing that strange accent and barely supressed the urge to run very far away with his arms flapping and screaming like a hysterical woman who just lost her child. "Say what? QUICK! Somebody translate!" "Weel, yous guys landed on me dam van and Ah'm peesed." The man said. A rock some distance from the stranger, decided it was time, and cracked open, allowing a long necked creature to gasp out, before standing on it's long stalks of legs. The creature let out a cry of "Beep! Beep!", before zooming down the road at impossible speeds. "Say what?" AleeN asked, barely supressing the desire to run away screaming in utter terror from that accent. "We landed on his van and he's pissed." MarvelBoy translated. "Oh. Sorry about that. It was a freak accident, y'know." Aleen apologized. "Yah, youse guys left me wuthout any form of trans-sport-ation!" The man thumped his finger on Masami's chest. At the same time, several tons of advanced calicus books were forced into existance and crashed down on a lovely patch of hydrangea flowers, crushing the flowers flat. "Say, who are you anyway?" AleeN asked the stranger. "Hay, Ah ask ya the samething!" The man retorted. A fire truck came into sight and did backflips. "Ah'm called MAYHEM." The man introduced himself "And yous be...?" The trio had introduced themselves when Lesell along with GeoDuck joined them and introduced herself to MAYHEM.

"Hay, are ya the same Lezell of the EL-el... El-hazared whutever teem?" MAYHEM asked Lesell. The Elemonators leader nodded in affirmnation "Elemonators to be exact." "Oh good. Ah was jist at thees Arcadia.. err Arrowin's place hunking his `puter tah cable modem. Dam steeky dragon keept gunna on and on abut ya guys." A blue whale came into existance and decided to do ballet out of the water, behind MAYHEM.

"Oh?" Lesell quirked a brow at MAYHEM "You were at his lair doing what?" "Installin' a cable mudem." MAYHEM answered "Ah'm 'puter fixman. Ah look at computer guts and fix stuff." A marching army of tupperware salespersons, armed with bread and toasters marched past the group.

"Uh, and what're all those?" MarvelBoy pointed at all the strange occurances. "Ya... those are stuff tha happens aroond me, cuz Ah have me this neet power. And ya figger why Ah'm called MAYHEM yet?" MAYHEM answered.

"I see..." Marvelboy murmured. "Any-nay-way, Ah'm supposed tah be at the AFC place to..." MAYHEM reached behind his back, and pulled out a piece of paper and peeked at it "... tah stuff cable modem for a miz Aeka, a Prinzess Aeka, and a Jamf.... ok, half of the AFC." MAYHEM looked up "And seince ya smashed me van, Ah'm gunna be behind schedule." "Really? In that case, come with us." Lesell said, making her way back to the Midorishu.

----------

"Weel, dam! Yer ship looks smushed bad. Wuth x-enstive fixing and a priper fix faculity, only then it'll fly." MAYHEM said, surveying the Midorishu's battered hull. "Great." Seion grumbled. "And we're in the middle of nowhere!"

"There HAS to be a way to get out of here." Lita shot a nasty look at K`thardin before continuing "Since the radio was destroyed in that blast and we cant send a SOS message to Headquarters."

K`thardin only chuckled nervously.

"I could carry the ship and fly back to the AFC" MarvelBoy volunterred, "But the ship looks reaaaaaaaaally heavy. Besides I forgot to take my vitamins." MarvelBoy stratched the back of his head, chuckling.

Everbody sweatdropped.

"Well, that smarts! Uh-huh yup yup!" a smoldering War-ouki whined from Midorishu's hatch.

MAYHEM froze and slowly turned in the direction of the cabbit's voice and his eyes widened in surprise. "Weel, dam me eyes! If it aint ol' War!"

War-ouki stared unkowingly at the man for a moment, then his eyes slowly widened in recongization. "MAYHEM! Havent seen you in forever!" War-ouki exclaimed and hopped to MAYHEM.

"Uh? You know eachothers?" Yayoi asked, looking at the man and the cabbit. MAYHEM and War-ouki nodded at the same time. "MAYHEM is actucally the human form of the fabled fifth Cabbit of the Apocalypse, Chaos-ohki! But he also poses... err ahh... *works* as a computer technican." explained War-ouki.

MAYHEM nodded "Dam roight." and grabbed War-ouki by the scruff of his neck, "Weel, seince War's here, we dun have to worry about tran-sport-ation, cuz ah already gots a ship! War's big ennuf to cram the Midorishi aboard his cargo bay!" War-ouki frantically shook his head "No! NO! Anything but that! Putting that ship in my cargo bay's equal to..." the cabbit paused momentary, as if weighting something in his mind, then blushed. "Hah! Tuff luck!" Mayhem reorted as he tossed the cabbit into the air and watched as War-ouki transformed into a dreadnought roughly four times the size of Midorishu. The massive dreadnought that was once a cabbit, hovered at tree top level, casting it's shadow on the group below. And did nothing. MAYHEM raised a finger at the ship and quirked a brow "Weel? Beem us up, Scotty. Or Ah'll douse ya hentai collection in diesel gas and light it. 'Specially the big Washu and Peorth-sama ones."

Dreadnought War-ouki wimpered and reculantly beamed everybody aboard and winced as he transported the Midorishu into his cargo bay. "Now onto the AFC!" MAYHEM raised his fist in the air. "Aye!" Everybody shouted. "Hey, what does this button do?" Yayoi asked from one of the weapons control panels. An orb resembling an marble popped into existance at Yayoi's side and War-ouki's kawaii cabbit face appeared on the orb's surface "Uhm... that's the main fire control button for all the primary weapons systems... in short, it's the 'Fire Full Broadside And Blow the $#@! Outta the Target' button. I wouldnt try that... not when I have... Oh dear. Maybe I shoulda've kept my muzzle shut, judging from that gleam in your eye, Yayoi."

Dreadnought War-ouki groaned and turned into the sunset, in the direction of the AFC. "This is gonna be one harrowing experience." The cabbit-ship grumbled.
