<Slides twin Katanas from their sheaths and begins sharpening them>

Got the controls on that force field belt down pat Jailbait?

Tamper may have built some weird functions into it. You know what a kook he is...

<Pulls out twin 9mm Baretta pistols and begins swapping out ammo rounds from an amazing variety provided by Nobody.>

Yeah, maybe theres a button on it that will turn Zombies into Kidney Pie or some junk like that...

Or did he build a different machine to do that?

Should I go with 50/50 incendary and high explosive or mix in 10% tracers?

**Lolita bit her lip, fiddling with the controls of her belt**

I haven't used the belt much My but it's always worked for me in a pinch. Sorry I haven't seen a Zombie Pie button.

You know, I think I heard something about Zombie Sausages and a Zombie Bowl Burst Boy from Cobalt a while back...

**Lolita wrinkled her nose**

Maybe it's better this thing doesn't have any extra gadgets attached.

**Lo' pulled out her energy blasters**

These on the other hand, I can definitely use. All the time at the firing range really helped. Thanks for taking me Brit.

Girl, we gotta get you a new sense of humor...

Jeebus, you'd think we were gonna be fighting for our lives in a little while, instead of us just being out here on a picnic...

Hey, I just noticed your new avatar, pretty snazzy, but how do you rate a custom job while My and I have to make do with off the rack models?

I guess cozying up to Cobie does have it's benefits...

**pouty glare**

You'll understand when you're older.

Brit, seriously how long do we sit here watching those zombie's backsides?

I mean they're really stupid but eventually they'll realize we're here and I'd rather kick some ass than sit here waiting...

Ohmygod, I'd send the boys back to check on their progress but they're too scared of Mr Hrun, so we have to wait.

Oh I understand Granny, or I would if it was somebody Cute...

<pulls out machette>

I think I shall have to get some more advanced weaponry sometime soon.

<turns to Rockhopper Lad>

I believe I'm ready to join Hrun the Barbarian in this battle. I'm not fully recovered yet, Lord, but good enough. At last, I enter battle not as the Inquisitor, but as Sir Roy of Legion World.

It's time to earn that designation. And perhaps, after this battle...we may finally see the Tower...

<for the first time since this all began, Roy grins, and his horribly scarred face, now helmet-less, shows it>

I care little for battle, Sir Roy. The Pyngwynyy are a peaceful people and I take no joy in doing harm to anyone; however, I shall not shrink from aiding my friends.

{Rockhopper Lad ponders his words for a moment. True, he is usually more formal than most LMBers, but his speech since he has been on the Path has slowly become more like the language of the Court, which is generally only used at state events on his world, although many ages ago it had been the everyday language of the Pyngwyn Colonies.}

{Rockhopper Lad sighs and then holding up his hands, which crackle with Ice Magic}

I am also ready.

Hrun notices that Sir Roy is now looking a lot steadier on his feet and judges the time is now right. Moving across to Roy he stands in front of him.

“Noble knight” he says “Thy strength would return much faster if thy hands held once again a weapon worthy of you” and Hrun takes from his back a battle axe. He looks at it and a wistful smile plays across his lips as a distant memory briefly replays in his mind.

“Take this axe its owner was a brave warrior who fell protecting a village from the northern tribes. He would be honoured to know its noble linage will continue now in your hands”


Sir Roy took the axe and as hid did so a visible change took over him. He streched and the pain so recently etched into his scarred face lifted and for a moment he smiled.

“You give ME an Axe? The weapon with which I as Inquisitor did so much evil with? Well this shall be a symbol of my rebirth and redemption; with the weapons of the enemy I shall cleave a path for righteousness”


As this had been going on Rockhopper Lad had been looking down a small hill towards the tower.

“we must move on” he said for a sudden sense of urgency had fallen over him “oh look at that it’s a pretty little squirrel……….

<Watches as the massed horde of Zombies, Super-Villains, Zombie Super-Villains, and Zombie Squirrels begins surging down the path.>

Ohmygod! Here we go Girls.

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

Nobody, Tell Mr. Hrun we'll meet them in the middle!

No-One, You're the "Eye in the Sky" I want to know where everyone is at all times, don't let anyone be cut off from the others...

MY, Jailbait, Lets go Kick Some Zombie Bootie!!!

<Looks at the rear ranks of the massed bad guys, where EDG's opening salvo has created confusion and havoc.>

Starting things off with a BANG, Brit?

<Sprints out ahead of the other two, Katanas drawn and ready.>

As My Wee Fem races towards the advancing hordes he Katanas are ripped out of her hands by a powerful magnetic blast which comes out of nowhere.

She skids to a halt weaponless as the undead hordes advance on her

“BRAINNNNNNS”

“not good kiddo, not good at all”


“Oh my God MY, look out” shouts EG and fires rapidly into the advancing mass, blood and bodily fluids going everywhere.

My wee fem races back towards safety, but suddenly the empty costume of Gary Concord appears and wraps itself around her legs causing her to fall.

“Brit! Save your self, get out of here” she calls, frantically trying to free herself from the tangle and the Zombie horde advances on her, arms outstretched.

No-One: Here's your big knives, Miss Femme...

<Seizes the Katanas and swiftly slices away the remnants of Concord's costume>

That's better...

<Her twin swords become a blur as she starts slicing and dicing Zombies...>

Dammit, they've got the momentum... This ain't good...

<Another Blur of motion results in more dismembered Zombies. But there are too many of them and she is slowly being cut off from her friends...>

If I manage to get out of this, I'm shoving a Zombie Squirrel down Concord's pants

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

Ohmygod! Uncle Spacey always said there'd be days like this...

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

I just wish he'd told me how many there'd be...

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

'cuz it sure like seems I've had more than my share...

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

Nobody better get back here soon... If My gets cut off No-One can't lift her by himself...

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

Rockhopper Lad reaches down to stroke the cute little squirrel when all of a sudden it changes and huge fangs appear and the squirrel jumps up at Rocky.

“Whoa! Freeze!” and a blast of ice encases the zombie. “Hrun we better be careful here the local wildlife is getting dangerous”

Hrun nods, not mentioning just where he though the Zombie squirrel was trying to bite.


Blam Blam Blam

The three hear the sound of gun fire further down the path.


“Those are Everyday Girl’s guns“ Hrun shouts and runs towards the sounds of battle.

**Lolita dodged the Zombies without much grace, firing her energy blasters with surprising percision**

Eek! Oh, gross. I hope the boys get here soon to help. Not even a message from Cobie could make me feel better right now...

**a message from Cobalt Kid is received**

Lolita - be safe yourself. I mean it. And good luck. I know you're in good hands, and even more--I know they are.

- Cobie

**end transmission**

I stand corrected.

**the blasting continued as Lo' tried to keep the smile off her face, despite the dire circumstances surrounding them... until she noticed My Wee Fem slowly being separated by an wall of Zombies**

Oh no, My! Brit, I can hardly see her anymore. Well, desperate times...

**Lolita took a deep breath and pressed the forcefield belt's switch, causing it to crackle to life**

I'm going after her. The belt should protect both of us, once I get to her and No-One can come help you if you need it.

**deep breath**

Ok. Here goes nothing...

<Stands in the center of a ring of dismembered zombies, a severed hand clutches at her foot and she kicks it away from her.>

Yeecchh! If this is it, I'm gonna have quite the zombie honor guard to escort me into hell.

<a large zombie pushes it's way thru the pile of it's dismembered fellows and she reacts instinctively, swords flashing in a blur intended to remove the zombie's arms and legs from it's torso. But this time the move doesn't work, something blocks her swords before they can slice undead flesh...>

Crap on a Stick!

Suddenly there is the hue and cry of battle behind her and the massed horde of Zombies, Super-Villains, Zombie Super-Villains, and Zombie Squirrels start to fly apart (in many cases literally) and into the frey race Rockhopper lad, The Inquisitor and Hrun.

As Rocky freezes every Zombie Squirrel he can see, Sir Roy uses his axe to behead as many Zombies as he can find.

Hrun rushes toward My Wee Fem and raises his sword. With a mighty blow he crashes the sword down on the head of this attacking Zombie……

<Roy leaps into the fray, slicing zombie torsos in half with his new mighty axe>

For glory! For honor! For Legion World!

<refreshed, Roy stands on My Whee Fem's other side, so that he and Hrun are able to give her the needed back-up while she gets it together>

No matter how many faces death may have, we shall reach the Tower--and we shall prevail!

Ohmygod! Looks like I'll have to start aiming my shots...

Spots a figure skulking off to one side of the battle, apparently directing a second wave of Zombies, Super-Villains, Zombie Super-Villains, and Zombie Squirrels into attack position...

<click-click> <span style="font-size: 30px;">BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!! BLAM!!</span>

The figure drops to the ground clutching both knees and howling in pain. For a split second all of the zombies turn and look at the figure. Then they begin collapsing, returned to death's cold embrace.

{The Path lies strewn with the twice-dead bodies of the zombies; Rockhopper Lad steps forward}

Allow me!

{He inhales deeply and, using his super-breath, blows the bodies to the side of the Path, clearing a place for them all to walk to the Tower, which looms nearby}.

Sir Roy: I had forgotten you had that power, my Lord.

RhL: It has come in useful many times, Sir Roy.

Hrun: I urge us all to make haste to the Tower and be on your guard! Our undead friends may be back!

Ohmygod! LIKE Not So Fast!

Who was that like guy on the hill and where did he go? I know I didn't kill him. But he just vanished when the zombies started falling.

I don't like leaving enemies at my back...

And I've got one question for you Mr. Hrun, you rat bastich...

<span style="font-size: 20px;">WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME THAT YOU'RE MY FATHER?!?!?!</span>

**sniff** Why did I have to find that out from somebody else? **sniff** Why didn't you want me to know??? **sniff**

**relieved the fight is over, Lolita turned off the force field. Shyly, she came up beside My Wee Fem and whispered quietly in her ear...**

My, maybe you could send Caliente a message, so she knows we've found Rockhopper Lad, the Royal Inquisitor and Hrun the Barbarian? I've already informed Cobie.

**after witnessing Britney's ouburst, Lolita crossed to her friend and gave her a comforting hug around the shoulders**
