Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Omnichronal Orrery of Phineas B. Fuddle

<Comes out of the tunnel projecting a green energy shield in front of the swan boats...>

Ring scan the area report all sentient life forms... Other than our party...

<Levitates out of the lead boat.>


<span style="font-size: 25px;">SURRENDER, FUDDLE, OR BE DESTROYED!</span>

<phineas spins around>


How...?


<reactively, without thinking, he spins halfway to the right and projects a chronal cone around the celestial mechanism. No matter what happens... it must be protected>


<he then turns to face the underground assault>


Surrender? Oh my dear... I should think not...


<grins evilly and steps forward>

(Whoa! Remind me not to get Pagan Lass angry. Golly! This is exciting! That celestial mechanism sure is something. I wonder what it looks like from the inside.)

<starts to burrow towards the mechanism just before Fuddle throws up the chronal cone>

(That was close! Now let me see what this thing is made of. <snicker> Wouldn't it be funny if it was made of tubers?)

Eat some Lard Force, Fuddle!!

<fires energy blast at Phineas>

<span style="font-size: 25px;">Crocodiles!</span>

A pair of 30 foot long crocs appear, one on each side of Fuddle. They lunge for him simultaneously, jaws agape!

Phineas leaps into the air and lets the Lard Force hit Pagan Lass's conjured crocodiles.

You don't even begin to understand what is happening, do you?

LOOK!!!


<he points toward the vaulted ceiling>


Even as you come to my home to threaten me, your own world is dying.


You're too late!!!

Mary, stay safe and out of Phineas' line of sight. I've got some superheroing to do...

<flies into the sky, magnetically ripping apart anything he possibly can and hurling at Phineas. Cobalt's goal is to create pure chaos and destruction at first>

So a personal attack on me through someone I love? That deserves a real ass-kicking though.

<flies at top speed from Phineas behind. After all, Cobalt Kid fights dirty>

Here you go Phinny!

<punches him right in the back of the head with full magnetic force so it feels like super-strength>

<though it is effective, Phineas's protective chronal energies knock Cobalt backwards with a jolt>

Ugggghhhh!!!


<falls to the floor from Cobalt's blow>


Ah... General Cobaltus! Haven't I done enough to you yet?


<eyes Mary Hatch>


Apparently not...

<Slides to one side of a swan boat, and takes careful aim at Phineas's knees...>


Click-Click <span style="font-size: 15px;">BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!</span>

<continues pounding above, his knuckles bleeding--but the cracks in the shield begin to grow...>

<Naked Mole Rat Lad scurries around the innards of the celestial mechanism>

Yikes! The team sure is putting up quite the fight.

Ewww! That looked like it really hurt Cobalt! Gee, I wonder if Mary would reconsider our dinner date if Cobalt is out of the picture - tee hee - Oh, Naked Mole Rat Lad, you are such a salty fellow.

<turns left and right a few times and ends up at the heart of the mechanism>

Now this is something. I mean, I've created some pretty complicated burrows, but, I mean, wow! I wonder what it's for, anyway?

RING! ENGLOBE HIM AND REMOVE ALL THE O2 FROM INSIDE THE SPHERE...

A green energy globe ensnares Phineas...

<phineas falls to his knees, shot by EveryDay Girl>


ARRRGHHH!!! The Everyday Whelp!!!

Why did I let that one go?


<fires a chronal blast at her, effecting regressing her to her birth and recreating her as "Everyday Boy">


<he is then ensnared by Abin Quank>

<phineas reaches into his pocket and pulls out his gold watch>


Yellow...


<he tosses it through the Force Field and hits Abin's head, temporarily breaking his concentration as the field wavers>

<phineas runs to his war room to barricade himself>


Too... powerful... underestimated them...

<span style="font-size: 25px;">RESTORE!</span>

The chronal effects of Phineas's blast on EDG are reversed and she returns to normal, but Pagan's hastily cast spell is too powerful and Phineas's shot out knees are also restored...

<runs behind Phineas to the war room barricade>

Help me blast this thing open, guys!

<phineas arises, his knees again unscathed>

<closes his eyes and concentrates...>


You can do this, Phineas...


Take out the leadership... and the rest will fall...

Stand Aside!

<span style="font-size: 15px;">Pathway!</span>

<A gap appears in the barracade, but it only goes about half way thru...>

My Mystic Energy is running low with Stoopid Cat not here...

<even as the the LMBers blast at the door, phineas lets the barrier drop. He focuses his entire will toward Lard Lad, pummeling him with chronal energy>


THIS... ENDS... NOW!!!

DIE, LARD LAD!!!

<watches EDG transformation in EDB and back>

Gosh! So that's his game! He's using this machine to transform LMBers into something else! Wait, no! Not just LMBers but Legion World itself!

<pauses to think>

Cobalt was going on and on about Mary being someone else. Could I too have been changed? Maybe the kacks were right. Maybe I am meant to be something more that just a Naked Mole Rat. Question is, just what am I supposed to be?

<As the Barrier Drops EDG again takes careful aim, this time at the center of Phineas's chest.>

These concussion rounds should knock him down...

Click-Click <span style="font-size: 20px;">BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!</span>

**Yowl**

Pagan! Where are you Pagan?

There!

<Leaps to Pagan lass's shoulder.>

**Yowl**

<phineas is blown backward by Everyday Girl's blast, and, in doing so, his chronal blast misses Lard Lad completely... but bathes the room>

<as the energy descends, the events of the last ten minutes play backward before time rights itself. Again the LMBers enter into the Orrery anew>

<they are right back where they started... but remember everything that had happened>
