(NSP: Ahhh, more devout "fans" of NeS... Anywhos, perhaps I should put some story here, eh? Let's give it a whirl, and remember, if you don't know where your character is, look on the top of page 29 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]. With that said, here's me to take leaps and bounds nobody else is cruel enough to take [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]. And Mick, read the bottom in answer to the post you made *the one after this one*)

In the Hall of Heroes, Antestarr waits for his collegues to join him in his quest...

Ante: So who's ready to join me?

A murmur and general noise of uneasiness from the other heroes answers Antestarr's question.

Ante: Geez, you all are a bunch of sniveling cowards. All I'm asking is that you board a highly questionable mode of transportation several miles underwater to a place chock-full of the most evil villians and obstacles we've encountered yet!

MZZT: Well, I'd really like to join and all, but uh...I have to um...yeah.

Janitor Bob: Right. What he said.

Suddenly, a mystical swirl a.k.a. plot hole emerges in their presence, and Semievil is promptly spewed from it before it dissapears.

Semievil: Nuuurgh...stupid plot-hole wrinkled my cape...

CookedHaggis: I take it your mission to destroy the Arena wasn't successful?

Sem: No, it wasn't. --and I've seemed to have lost Geb. Damnit.

Masetto: Good thing we attached those Personal Locator Devices on each of us so we knew where we'd be all the time.

Maybechild: How convinient, ain't it? Let's check the update screen then, shall we?

The heroes spin around to gaze upon the giant update screen. Shown upon the list of others, the following appeared:

_____________________________________________
...

Gebohq
-The Realm of TACC

...
_____________________________________________


TheOtter: ...what's a TACC?

Sem: Apparently, it's a realm.

TACC, eh? I think I should take a look over there myself, having licked 'realms' and all. Still got 'dimensions' to work with though...

Otter: Riiight...anyways, anyone know how to get there?

Cooked: *sigh* I know of the Realm of TACC. *CookedHaggis' eyes begin to gaze in no apparent direction, as if remembering some long lost dream or paradise.* It seems liek only yesterday I was there...

Highemperor: That's because you WERE there yesterday! You told us a week ago that's why you kept leaving sporatically and such.

Cooked: Oh yeah...

Phantom Master: *in Arnold accent* So, like, are you going to tell us how to get there, mister?

Ante: But-but-what about MY sidequest?

Cooked: Stop sniveling already! Here-- *slaps Semievil on hte back, moving him foreward* He'll join you as navigator and general magic-caster.

Sem: Shwa?

Cooked: And uh--take Krig, Randy, Masetto, Otter, and uh...

Just then, JorBo enters the room, donning a Bermuda outfit.

JorBo: Wooooo! Da Carribbean is really a good reason to be a spy! TLTE told me that I was cramping his style though, and so I came back here.

Cooked: --and him! There, is that enough for you?

Ante: Sure thing. Thanks.

JorBo: Uh....did I miss something?

Masetto: Wheeee! A boat-ride!

Masetto drags JorBo as he follows Semievil, Lt. Randy, Krig, Otter, and Antestarr out of the Hall of Heroes and into their main submarine.

Randy: Odd, I dont' remember having a quiver of arrows and a bow before...

JorBo: *now short and hobbit-like* Why do I suddenly have this overwhelming concern with the safety of Gettleburger?

Otter: *also hobbit-like* Meh, you get use to the whole "transformation" thing after a while.

Masetto: Hey look, I have hairy feet! My hair didn't change much though...
--------------------------------------------
On board the submarines, Antestarr prepares the final launching sequence.

Ante: Are we all set, Mother?

<<Affirmative.>>

Ante: Everyone accounted for?

<<Antestarr, JorBo, Krig the Viking, TLTETBR, Masetto, TheOtter, Lt. Randy, and Semievil are presently accounted for.>>

Ante: Great! Set a course for The Arena!

<<*grumbles* "Set a course", the little human says...good thing for Directive 937...>>

Ante: What was that, Mother?

<<*cough* Oh, er--nothing of concern.>>

Ante: Right then.
------------------------------------------
Back at the Hall of Heroes...

CookedHaggis: So that leaves us with myself, Maybechild, Highemperor, MZZT, Janitor Bob, and the Phantom Master here. With TLTE off in the Carribbean, Gettle trapped in The Arena, and Losien and McLongname unaccounted for with the pizza delivery guy somewhere in this building. So who wants to go get Geb?

*Grumbles and general noises of discontent are heard.*

Cooked: Fine, I'll go, and if any of you feel so compelled to join, use the thingy over there *points to a StarGate-esque device* to follow me.

*CookedHaggis then enters the device, and dissapears from their presence.

MZZT: ...so who's up for a party? I can call up some friends!
-------------------------------------------
Deep within the ruins of The Arena, the Legion of Spooky is well underway to constructing the ruins into their secret stronghold, giving the place a good painting over of dark colors that somehow are reminiscant of Windows XP.

Darkside: Ahhh...feels like home already.

"They": Would anybody care to tell me how Hitler, Pol Pot, and the others are here, when I specifically remember KILLING THEM?

keyboarding teacher: You think killing them again would make it harder to bring them back or something? Come to think of it, how did we bring them around in the first place?

Bill Gates: Ah yes, good question indeed. Why, with the help of our Evil Thingy! of course!

Gates points towards an evil StarGate-esque like device.

keyboarding teacher: How convinient.

Gates: Yes, isn't it though? And after having tourtured this thing that calls itself "Gonk" for hours on end, I figured out of a hidden power. A great, hidden power called The Machine That Goes 'Bing!'--

Phil: --uh, not to innterupt, but does anyone else notice that unnatural shaking beneath The Arena floor?

Darkside: Yessss, I thought I felt the presence of those hero-scum jsut now...they must have tried in vain to destroy this place, only to realize that its great powers turn any effort into a giant plothole! Mwahahahhahahahahahaha!

Gates: Oh yeah--I knew I needed something.

Gates hits a button on his StarGate-esque-liek device, and a giant lightshow went off, as the massive plothole from below them rose through the ground and coalesced into the device, forming a portal.

Gates: The old tricks are the best tricks, eh? Well, I'd love to stick around, but I have other realms that I want to conquor, so darkside, take charge while I'm gone.

Darkside: But-but-

Gates: And DON'T burn down the place!

Gates dissapears into portal.

Darkside: Darn it all! I hate managing...

*Off in the distance, Gonk2m4 can be seen gonking with great speed towards Antestarr and company, moaning "Goooooonk" over and over again in a "my precious" fashion.*

What LotR/Atlantis/Aliens-like challanges will Antestarr and company find themselves pitted against? And what of this situation with CookedHaggis going after Gebohq? Will Bill Gates end up causing them trouble? I better go check out for myself through this portal here. I leave you in charge of everything, computer!

<<But-but-->>

And DON'T burn down the place while I'm gone!

<<...nuuuurgh....>>

(NSP: Michael, currently, you're in the Hall of Heroes. You have a score to settle with a certain pizza delivery guy trying to hit on Losien. All in all, rather tame, but at the same time, gives you some options the other characters don't have. Have fun with it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif])

Darkside: Stop that!

Lightside: You got something better for me to do?

Darkside: Yeah. Go and intercept the enemy submarine, and pretend that you're on their side, and that you can offer them advice and whatnot on how to defeat us and TMTGB and stuff.

Lightside: Oh yeah...and Sem's on that ship too, ain't he? Why, I seem to remember him and I being old college buddies back in the Arcane Acadamy! Perhaps I should trim this white beard and such--naaaaah!

Stuck in two movies he has never seen and with no desire to watch them...

JorBo: Hey! I wanted to see LotR.

In the writer's realm not visited since many ages ago...

Geb the writer: Irk....khhshshhhh..ehkhhhh...

Sem the writer: Er...Geb? You alright?

*Geb the Writer points at his screen before falling to the floor, writhing in agony. Sem the writer and Maybechild the writer stroll over to investigate.*

STW: Hmm...the only thing on his computer screen is the last post that was made.

MTW: Ooooh, I get it. See, Geb's always had this problem--

STW: --of typing correctly?

MTW: Besides that. See, as a founding member and unofficial head writer, Geb has a natural tendancy to try and motivate others to join and contribute. Yet, because he has that position, he is also rather attached, picky, and generally absorbed into how it develops. Therefore, when something doesn't go according to plan, the two sides conflict with each other, and he goes into a violent seizure for about fifteen minutes.

STW: ....what's this have to do with what happened now?

MTW: Right. See, in the last few major story posts, Geb has done most of the writing, setting up the story for another subchapter. As is standard in NeS, he's taken copyrighted things, in this case being the movies Aliens, Atlantis, and The Lord Of the Ring, and molded some of the characters, settings, and plot devices into that of those found in NeS. This is to have a poor, cheap, yet effective way to have some framework of a plot to work with when us, the writers, are in a jam for where to go on, and as in the usual case, we never follow much of the original scripts anyways. So after what posting Geb did, JorBo, one of our newer writers under the "Short, plot-advancing writers guild" of which Phantom_Master is a part of, posted OUT of the one subplot and into the new TACC subplot, after Geb had "played the mean role of designating characters into approriate roles" when nobody had initially wanted to do it themselves, instead opting to stay silent.

STW: ...so we're lazy, we have lives, and we're lazy. He should know that.

MTW: He should, but he doesn't. After all, he doesn't have a life of his own. Why do you think he's the only one still writing for NeS since its inception?

STW: Ah, good point. So....what should we do with Geb?

MTW: Oh he'll be fine. Hey look, Figure skating is on TV...

(NSP: For those of you who didn't get that, basically, it was a embellished NSP. It meant that, though I don't want to discourage anybody from writing at all, and can go with the flow if needed, I wanted to make it clear that BY NO MEANS are we doing a strict parody--it's only a means to make writing SIMPLER. By taking JorBo out of the false fellowship, it makes it difficult to take anything from LotR with no Sam-equivilant character, and JorBo (the writer) doesn't make very long or multiple posts anyways, nor (from what I've heard through e-mails) did the TACC sidequest need anymore NeS characters.

On another side-comment, I didn't think I'd be saying this, ever, but I think NeS needs to LOWER its uses of plotholes, majorly.

Hope I didn't forget anything...)

<<Now nearly to their destination in the Atlantic, Antestarr takes a moment to fill in his "fellowship" as to what is going to occur.>>

Antestarr *drawing a picture on a blackboard*: Okay, in order to get into The Arena, we will first have to get to an area such as this, kind of like the water trap in the pipes of a toilet. There will be an area with enough pressure at the end for us to surface and proceed on foot into The Arena.

Otter: Kinda like that?

<<Pointing out the window, Otter shows the rest of the fellows a large apparatus, apparently a gigantic underwater toilet.>>

Masetto: Well, it's good to know that all our jokes aren't going down the crapper.

Randy: Yup, looks like they started there to begin with.

Ante(perturbed): That's enough out of you men. Yes, that appears to be our entryway... By the way... uh... what happened to our Sam rip-of... er, our person deeply concerned about Gettle?

<<That has been taken care of.>>

<<All 9 feet of Nigel walks in, now with standard bare feet and knappy hair.>>

Ante: Aren't you a little big for a Hobbit?

Nigel: Shut up.

Ante: Okay, Mr. Sem, set a course for the bowl of that gigantic toilet.

Sem: Aye, sir.

<<Just as they begin to move forward, something in the ocean ahead darkens. Blackness and water become one and form the horrific appearance of a great winged rubber duckie.>>

Ante: Oh dear Lord! It's the Leviat Durog!

Krig: Krig confused. That edible?

Ante: No no... The Leviathan was the rumored guardian of the entrance to The Arena. However, it appears to be more than merely the Leviathan, it has the attributes of both the Balrog and Toilet Duck household cleaner. Thus, it must be a Leviat Durog.

Sem: Why not a Balet Duthan?

Ante: Because that just sounds stupid.

<<Ante then dodged a lightning bolt aimed for his head.>>

Ante: Watch it, you might breach the hull, then we'd all be screwed. We need to think of a way to defeat this monster.

Krig: Krig hungry. Krig want eat.

Ante: But Toilet Duck is notoriously bad for the health.

Krig: But Krig mouth need clean too...

<<As the fellowship debated the next course of action, the Leviat Durog... or is it Balet Duthan? Whatever it was, it menacingly approached the strangely built submarine with large windows. What would happen next to our heroes, only time and a few posts could tell.>>

(NSP: Geb, you're always saying less plot holes =P Well, seeing as how it's page 30 and all--)

Deep in the dark recesses of 'real life' ATP (Ares the Poster) stirs in his coma.

Sitting at his bedside, intently recording his every move is a scribe.

But Ares, deep in his dream, knows nothing of this. He is far away on a mountain-top, lighting foliage aflame with his godly powers and talking to himself. With him in his dream is a useless lackey for him to toy with.

Ares, still asleep: Burn! Burn you sorry excuse for a shrubbery! All NES is mine and I burn it at my will!

*Random plants in ATP's room burst into flames. The scribe scribbles furiously*

Ares, still sleeping: Take your shoes off, foo! 'ats it! Now dance! Booyah! Whosya diety! Now get down there, and go work up some plagues!

*Scribe stops writing and jumps out the window to work up some plagues*

ATP wakes up to find the unfinished work of the scribe. Unfortunately all that is discernable is "N-E-S" due to the lousy handwroting of the scribe. Unaware of the scribe, ATP decides he must have written it in his sleep and calls in Ares' clone.

ATP: I've decided that my ARENA has remained in bondage in NES for too-long! So I shall send you to Poster Geb, and you shall say to him: "Let my ARENA go!" But I will make Poster Geb obstinate, because it wouldn't make much of a story if I didn't- GTP would throw out the ARENA in a second.... But we want a good story dangit!

Ares Clone: .....

ATP: Good! Now be off at once! Free my ARENA

Ares Clone: .....

ATP: *sigh*

And so it came to pass that Ares, the great poster himself went forth into the NES, converting those NEStians he could along the way to the path of Areism.

Simon: "Ach, aye."

<<Scene: A submarine somewhere underwater.>>

Sem: "We must destroy this Balet Duthan!"

Ante: "You mean the Leviat Durog?"

Sem: "That's what I said, the Balet Duthan. One of us must heroically sacrifice their life to allow the others to escape!"

<<Everyone looks at Sem, pointedly>>

Sem: "What are you looking at me for? Just because I somehow superfically resemble that Gandalf fellow, and we're up against a Balrog-type monster, doesn't mean I'm gonna volunteer!"

<<Everyone continues to look at Sem>>

Sem: "I tell you, I'm not going out there! Find some other dupe with suicidal tendancies!"

<<More looking at Sem ensues>>

Sem: "You might as well stop looking at me, I'm not gonna do it!"

<<Even more looking at Sem>>

Sem: "No! Burn you, NO!"

<<Just then, the airlock opens and an airlock's worth of water splashes into the sub, along with a very wet Viking.>>

Krig: "Mmmm, tasty. Ante lie. Not make Krig sick."

<<Ante turns wide-eyed to the view-port. Outside, little bits of dark yellow Durog-rubber drift past.>>

Ante: "Well, that takes care of that. Right mother--?"

<<Just then, there is a knocking noise on the outside of the airlock.>>

Ante: "Who could that be? I wasn't expecting guests..."
Ante opens the airlock, and a fellow dressed in a lot of white hops in.

Lightside: "Hello all. My name is Lightside, I've come to help you destroy the Bad Guys."

Masetto: "You wouldn't happen to be related to that 'Darkside' guy, would you?"

Lightside: "Oh, no, of course not. I'm his arch-enemy."

Otter: "I thought I was his arch-enemy!"

Lightside: "Nope, sorry, I'm Darkside's arch-enemy. He told me himself."

Otter: "Well that's not bloody fair. I've been around a lot longer than you."

Randy: "Why can't you both be Darkside's arch-enemy?"

Lightside: "Hm... I can go along with that. Whaddaya say, chap?"

Otter: "It don't work that way, buddy. There can only be one arch-enemy."

Ante: "All right, all right, enough! Otter, Lightside's name clearly indicates that he is a better arch-enemy for Darkside than you. Why don't you be Burby00's arch-enemy?"

Krig: "Oy! Krig is arch-enemy of Evil Fuzzball!"

Otter: "Besides, who wants to be the arch-enemy of a stupid toy gone berserk?"

Ante: "All right then, why don't you be the arch-enemy of...let's see... Farr?"

Otter: "A two-bit villian introduced to fill out the Bad Guys' ranks? Why on earth would I-"

Ante: "All right, that's settled then. So, Lightside, how do you think you can you help us?"

Lightside: "Well, I know a secret way into the Arena. And it's not a trap. I would never lead you guys into a trap."

Sem: "He's right, he wouldn't. We went to Wizard College together."

Ante: "Well, that's good enough for me. Welcome aboard, Lightside!"

<<Just then, another knocking at the airlock sounds.>>

Ante: "Well goodness gracious, we all haven't had so many visitors since all get-out."

<<Ante opens the airlock. Nine figures of widely varying sizes, dressed in black robes, enter the sub.>>

Ante: "Who the devil are you people?"

Grover: "We are the Muppetwraiths™! We are the Black Riders of Ernie! Hisssss!"

Ante: "I see. And what is it that you fellows want?"

Big Bird: "Can we stay with you guys? We're running away from home!"

Sem: "Why?"

Elmo: "Ernie is mean! He yells at us!"

Big Bird: "Yeah, and he won't let us watch TV! He's crazy!"

Yoda: "Hrmmm, yes, crazy, yes."

Ante: "Umm... Ok, I guess. Just don't get in the way."

Lightside: "NO! They can't stay here! They'll ruin everything!"

Elmo: "Hi Mister Lightside! What are you doing here? Elmo would have thought you would be plotting evilness with Darkside!"

Ante: "What?! Is he telling the truth, Lightside? Are you really in league with Darkside?"

Lightside: "No, of course not! My name is Lightside, remember? Light as in Good?"

Krig: "Krig think butterflies and water buffaloes are arch-enemies."

Game show host: Right. We're all his "friends" as long as we don't have to bail him out of jail.

Janitor Bob: Uh...so what do you guys do, when you're not at parties that is?

Game show Host: Ah, well, the four of us don't do much else actually. The wooly mammoth is a telemarketer by day and a crimefighter by night and the alien works at a fast food place.

Janitor Bob: Heh. Service with a smile, eh Mr. Alien?

Alien: Hisssshhshshhshshshshhssh!

J-Bob: Good alien...er--Mark Hamill?

Game show host: Yeah. He's our *****.

Game show host: Shut up, Mark. Go get us some drinks!

Hamill: Sure thing!

Janitor Bob: ...so, what game show do you host?

Game Show host: Actually, I'm unemployed right now.

J-Bob: Riiiiight.

Girl #1: *sigh* So typical--he's drooling at the sight of us.

Girl #2: Oh but look at him! he's so sexy!

Girl #3: Wanna dance, big guy?

Mick: Stop blocking my view with your bare leg, please.

Girl #3: *grumbles*

<<Situation: Disaterous. Antestarr and the expendable crew are not doing their job, the Narrator has not shown any sign of coming back from his visit to TACC, and now there's a full-blown party in the Hall of Heroes! They better not spill anything on my update screen!>>

Masetto: That didn't sound too comforting.

Otter: yEaH!...uH, pErHaPs wE sHoUlD gO tHaT-a-WaY!

Nigel: Where else WOULD we go? Back in the submarine?

Ante: You remembered where we parked, right?

Everyone else: Yes...

Ante: Good. We'll walk down the suspiciously bare tunnels then.

Lightside: IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

Sem: What's not your fault?

Lightside: ...*off to the side* Good, they don't suspect me of foul play, or pulling bad references to lines that both Semievil and Losien have said, both in the presence of Darkside...

Sem: What was that you said?

Lightside: Nothing!

Krig: Krig feel sudden urge to fight something.

TLTETBR: But you just killed the Barlog-Leviathan-like creature just a couple hours ago!

Randy: Am I the only one concerned with the ominous and blantant hints of impending doom?

Ante: Please, don't point the large gun in my face Randy.

Randy: Er--sorry.

Lightside then whistles very loudly. Randy looks down into his motion tracker.

Randy: Uh...there's a lot of things. Coming our way.

Motion tracker: Beep....beep...beep...beep..beep..beep beep beep-beep-beep-beep....

Randy: Shut up shut up shut U-uuuuup!

Motion Tracker: ...

Randy: *phew*

Motion tracker: BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!...

Sem: fuq...

Otter: Did you HAVE to say th--

TheOtter is promptly crushed by the mass numbers of rubber duckies running over him. The rubber duckies though do not look like ordinary rubber duckies, but rather are strapped and embedded with cybernetic devices that make them disturbing. It was as if Burby, the Borg, and Windows XP all collaborated in their creation. They truely instilled fear into everyone who looked upon them.

Antestarr, whipping out his Lightfoil, dashes about, swiping his blade in a bad-*** manner, keeping the enemies at bay.

Nigel, equipt with a mere dagger, simply chucks all who come near him.

TLTETBR, wielding his own shiny sword, swings with purpose, looking as if he may die at any moment...he is sweating a lot at any rate.

Randy sweeps his automatic rifle in a horizontal arch, screaming obcentities as he takes a number down himself. When his +100 round clip runs out, he equipts his bow and arrows.

Krig, jumping into beserker mode, launches himself into the midst of the rubber duckies, swinging his ax wildly.

TheOtter also dives into the enemy crowd. In his intoxicated state, his Vulcan's flames fire erradictly from his hands, nearly hitting another hero at times.

Masetto, not really equipt for fighting, simply hides behind Semievil like a pansy.

Semievil, equipt with his own means of combat, does his part in defending himself.

All the Muppetwratihs stand by their rubber ducky steeds, quite confused at the moment as to which side they should take. Except for Elmo, who feels the need to gnaw on the rubber duckies that are nearby him.

Lightside laughs maniaclly, commanding the rubber duckies.

From some distance, Ares the Poster appraoches The Arena. Not that there's a difference between the poster and the character, as he IS a god...

<<Crinkey! In my attempts to add action to the story, I added a serious element to this part of the story! What will happen next? Calculation probable results...results will be ready by the next post of The Neverending Story Thread.>>

<<Continuing monitoring of the "Fellowship." Transmission as follows.>>

Antestarr: Okay, we've fended them off for a moment, but from the sound of things there's more on the way. What we need is a game plan.

Randy: How about this one, we run back to the submarine and forget about Gettlefrodo?

Ante: Duly noted. However, this is bigger than Gettle and us combined. Failure is not an option.

TLTETBoromirRO: Well, what else is there we can do?

Ante: Here's the best plan I can come up with. Otter and Masetto, you two start running around in circles screaming like little girls. TLTETBRO, it's your job to protect them. They'll be our diversion while the rest of us work our way into the arena.

TLTETBRO: Alright.

Ante: Randy, I'll need cover fire for us as we move forward, so you'll take the rear. Krig and I will take the front, with Nigel and Sem doing what they can from the middle. For now I shall put aside my lightfoil for my sword NeSil, for the sword that was mail ordered has been recieved!

All: Right!

<<As the group finalized the plan, another wave of duckies came pouring down the tunnel. Otter and Mase ran in circles screaming like little girls far better than anyone else could have hoped for, and TLTETBRO stood his ground, slaying duckie after duckie, until the horde became too much for him. In his fall, though, he bought the rest of the crew enough time to work their way up the tunnel. Hearing another wave of duckies coming, the men stepped aside into a second pathway, which continued toward the arena, yet seemed not to have been discovered by the Enemy. However, the Muppetwraiths and Lighside were nowhere to be found...>>

<<Eventually, the narrow passage the remainder of the party travelled down came to a ladder with a hatch in the ceiling. Opening it and climbing out, they found themselves facing a sign with backwards letters that read "reeB cilohoclA-noN".>>

Ante: What in the name of the One could that mean?

Sem: It's obvious that we're on the other side of one of the refrigerator doors in the old 7-11. From the other side, it says "Non-Alcoholic Beer".

Ante: But why would a hatch leading to a secret tunnel be behind the fridge for Beer?

Sem: Well, who's gonna want non-alcoholic beer anyway?

Ante: Point.

Nigel *opening door*: Gettle!! My bestest friend/master/buddy/pal/dominator.

Gettle: Uh... who is this freak?

Ante: This is Nigel, I have him playing Sam for our little LotR spoof we're doing now.

Gettle: We're doing an LotR spoof?! Oo! Does this mean I can take my shoes and socks off.

Everyone: NO!

Gettle: Aw...

Ante: Quickly, Gettlefrodo, we must bring the Machine that goes Bing and get out of here. A great Evil seeks it, and we must get it to safety. Hand it to me.

<<TMTGB moves across the floor and hides behind Gettle's leg>>

Gettle: Uh... I don't think it wants you to hold it.

Ante: Fine, just get it moving and follow me.

<<Once again reunited with the party, Gettle can hardly stop talking, no matter how many times he's warned that if the duckies hear them they're all dead. Examining the halls, the heroes can see the bodies of several thousand duckies lie about them. Farther down the corridor they find the body of TLTETBRO. However, no sign of Mase or Otter remain.>>

Ante: Quickly, everone, press onward to the vessel.

Randy: What about the others?

Ante: We'll have to search for them later, there is nothing we can do for them for the time being.

Gettle: So, what are we gonna do with TMTGB now, anyway?

Sem: We must take it to Mount Olympus where it will fight to the death with Bing Crosby... wait, who writes this crap?

Ante: The same people who pull the strings of our everyday life.....

<<Yes, we'll see just how close we get to Olympus. Ha. Ha. Ha.>>

Gettle: What was that?!

Ante: Oh, that was just Mother on the remote computer. She seems to think some Directive 937 is more important than the rest of us...

<<Oh dear. It seems as though our post had to be changed to fit a post further down the road... Ah, well, what of this device... something made to go "bing", or something more sinister... What plans are there for such a thing? We shall see... oh yes, we shall see...>>

Ares: I wouldn't be terribly surprised.

Darkside: Oh, but you KNOW you want to cause some old-fashioned war-like destruction and torment, don't you?

Ares: Well....

Darkside: Look, we're waiting on some final touches before we move out. UNTIL then, I think we have a little game I think you'd be interested in...

*Lightside pushes Masetto and Otter into the large space formerly used as the fighting space for the Arena.*

Darkside: Some fresh victims, fresh for the beating. Masetto, theOtter,, and Lightside.

Lightside: Wha-what?

Ares: Oh goodie! A challange!

Darkside: I hope you find all this accomidating.

<<Scene: Tunnels of the Arena.>>

TLTETBR: I'm not dead yet! Ow....

<<Will Galvatron join the NeS heroes, get accomidated with the members, have a nice cup of lemonade and cheesecake, and assist them in their next quest, or will Galvatron go off on his own adventure? Will Ares join the Legion of Spookay, or "free his Arena"? How does one go about "freeing" an Arena? Is TLTETBR dead or alive? What about all those little questions in life? Find out, in the next post of The Neverending Story Thread: Return of the Rusty and Ancient.>>

In the Arena, there is a brilliant (but small) explosion, stunning (temporarily) everyone nearby. TheTwistedSpasm steps out of the smoke and looks around.

Spasm(yelling): "I just wasted three days reading the first 18 pages of this stupid thread! I'm BORED! I want in on this circus!"

He looks around at the Arena, suddenly surprised. "They destroyed it AGAIN!?!"

NSP: Sorry if I'm not interupting your incredibly never-ending story. Just wanted to get my name on this thread too!
Cynic (sin'ik) n. One of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers who held that virtue is the ultimate goal of life, their doctrine gradually coming to symbolize insolent self-righteousness.

Drink So-Be, and play longer!
