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

Whoa! That was weird! Maybe I should use an old trick...

<'ports behind Phineas, claps him on either ear>

With one large difference, Fuddle...

<Pagan reaches up to her shoulder and strokes Stoopid Cat.>

I have my familiar... I shan't run short of power again.

Abject surrender on your part would be advisable...

<punches small hole thru force shield, not enough to 'port through--uses power to widen hole>

The miniature comm device given to Lard Lad way back during the search for Clyde's killer buzzes in his ear. "Lard Lad! Plan B is in place. I set a chronal beacon into the moment when this thing first appeared in the sky. This time time is on OUR side"

Launching himself into the air on a pillar of whirling Spin energy YK dives straight for the moving roatating geared thing spinning slowly over everybody's heads.

Arms stretched wide, sweat popping out on his forehead YK surrounds one of the orbs with spinning whirling bright yellow/white energy. Tornadic wind speeds and spinning forces pull at the spheres. Loose papers and objects spin madly careening wildly through the air in the upper reaches of the vast room.

<Abin stands up, with Fuddles gold pocket watch in his hand.>

This antique looks important Fuddly Duddly...

<Drops the watch to the deck and stomps on it, shattering the case and sending gears and springs flying.>

Oops...

Surrender?

You are fools! What difference does my surrender make when Legion World itself shall die tonight. Even if you strike me down, I shall rise again at the moment of Legion World's rebirth.


<the vaulted ceiling shows the chronal whiteout expanding across Legion World>


It is nearly over.

Yeah, YK! <looks thru Orrery's viewers to see LW's white-out slowing noticeably> YK is slowing things down! Unfortunately the most crucial parts of the mechanism are heavily shielded! If only...<looks around>

...hey, where's Mole Rat?

Yellow Kid!!!

Away from that!


<splits him into four chronal replicates>




There. Now let's see how difficult it is to control your movements across four bodies!!!

Speeder bikes growl and roar insanely loud as seven new brightly clad figures burst out of the mouth of the tunnel. "Yellow!" One screams and they launch high into the air toward their nemisis firing their automatic weaponry, the explosive ammunition sprays across the Orrery 's device and the far distant wall.

The Spin force grabs the first of the bikers and sends him spinning toward the surface. Explosions surround him as his hunters attack full force. Energy weapons play across the clancking, rattling slow motion orbs.

<suddenly from the past , Exnihil appears within the war room. Outside in the hall of the Orrery, he hears the battle raging on>

So... it's begun already...

<NMR Lad's stomach begins to grumble>

I sure am getting hungry. I wish Mary and I had met up for dinner.

hmmm ... it's funny, some of these wires and tubes kind of look like the tubers from my indigenous East Africa. I wonder if the symbiotic bacteria in my intestines would help me to digest them as easily as the fibers in a tuber.

Gee, what a silly thought!

<catches back up to Phineas in the confusion>

<socks Phineas with a left cross>

Think ya can fight a guy who's only got one hand?

Aaarrrggghhh!!!!

Gggrrraaaahhh!!!

What? Who? Where am i?


Raaarrr!!

As one they fall toward the floor. Also as one the Spin power fires up and four bright white funnels of raw energy form, blindingly bright, whirling at super speeds (still sub light), three Yellow Kids and Yellow King attack the device overhead bathing it with broad strokes of energy.

<to Lard Lad>

Not I... but one who hates you even more...

<suddenly the force field of the Orrery gives way, as the DARK LARD punches through>

<smiles> You think he hates ME more? Well, we're about to find out!

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

<swoops down directly for Phineas>

On second thought, maybe that isn't so silly ... Mr. Yelly sure wanted this thing protected. Maybe if I can make things right again if I give the machine a chomp in just the right place. Let's see.

<NMR Lad grabs the largest wire he can find and ...>

VVVVVVVVVVVVV
celestial mechanism
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let's see if that does anyth ... YOW!

<NMR Lad is suddenly hit with a blast of chronal feedback, sending him rocketing out of the mechanism and sprawling across the Orrery's cold tiled floor next to Mary>

Did it work?

<span style="font-size: 40px;">NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!</span>

<shouted as phineas simultaneously sees the DARK LARD swooping down, and the Naked Mole Rat Lad chew through the cable>


Cliffhanger... to be continued tomorrow...

"YELLOW KID!! I'm coming for YOU!!" MetroMicro-Man shrinks down to tiny size aas he launches himself at his quarry.

BOOM!!

Crash!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rip across the ceiling of the Orrery.

<becomes visible and audible>

Phineas... you have been here before, do you not remember?

This is but an echo of defeat after defeat after defeat...

Across the chronoverse, you retreat from one failed scheme to another. None of them ever work, and all your petty victories are unwoven in the end.

You may have thought you could escape by forgetting... but see? Your failures follow you, memory or not.

End it, Phineas. These Legion Worlders are not the foe that defeats you time and again. You are.

(echoing from another chamber, the loud shattering of ice can be heard. Soon, the door smashes open)


<span style="font-size: 24px;"> PHINNEAS!!!!!!!!!!</span>

YOU made me miss the end of the game! AND you made me spill my beer!

You'll PAY for that!

(charges forward)

[aside]Who won, anyway? [/aside]

<enters after seeing Exnihil outside>

Sorry guys, but a quick distraction! Guess who I found? He's okay--Exnihil is alright!

<side by side with Lardy and Abin>

This looks like the endgame is at hand, gentleman...

Ready when you are...

<helps Moley to his feet>

You did good, Moley. The tide may be turning, but the danger isn't over yet.

<watches as the Dark Lard moves towards Phineas>

Be careful Cobie...

Foul villain! You still need to pay for what happened to Clive! And Tomahawk! Even Gary Concord! And who knows how many countless others!

(still catching up from being frozen)

Gary Concord is gone?

Is that really a bad thing?

(addresses Lardy. Cobie and Abin - but not standing along with the in case the villain has an area-effect weapon)

Whenever you're ready, gents! Let's take this blowhard down!
