A Day With Dylan

"I've been watching those bargoers for quite some time, and they just constantly kill every enemy placed before them. Even my brother fell to their might. Well, now that that pesky owl robot isn't around, and the Spy is nowhere to be seen, I think I know just the way to get them..."

The Lord of the Night's brother Dylan was pacing around a laboratory, billions of pieces of equipment scattered all over the place. Dylan didn't know what most of them did, but he knew he needed sciencey stuff to make his lair look evil. Instead it look cluttered, cataclysmic doomsday weapons buried underneath piles of fake equipment bought of con artists.

Dylan had no idea what was good and what wasn't but what he did know is that he got one machine working: a cloning machine.

"The bar has faced many foes, but they hardly remember their first real encounter with an enemy... Rise again, and kill the heroes of the King of Beasts!"

The cloning machine smoked and sputtered, a bright light shooting out of the doors as about 12 figures walked out...

"Mwahahaha! The Scullions live again!"

Zed McGlunk and his gang stumble out. The group of ruffians from Police Academy 2 were dazed and confused, a reference worthy of the new era they just stumbled into. The group looked around, and then they saw Dylan, looking as giddy as a schoolboy to see the machine worked.

"Who the hrmamramrla are you?" Zed stutters out.

"I, my friend, am the greatest evil mind to ever live! Dylan! I have brought you to life for one purpose: to defeat the King of Beasts!"

"Hmm, this.... KING OF BEASTS, sounds like a tough jerk!" the gangs leader says with shifting inflections.

"Don't worry, they will never expect you! You have the element of surprise!"

Dylan guided the group over to a van.

"Now then, I will drive you to the bar, where you must smash up the place! Break their windows! CLOG THEIR TOILETS!! HA HA HA HA HA!!! THEY WILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO-"

The sound of wheels screeching interrupts Dylan. The group had climbed into the car and drove off, going anywhere BUT the bar to wreck things up and steal about 8 dollars from a cash register.

Dylan's head dropped, the dejected brother of the Lord stumbling back into his untidy lair. Suddenly though, his face perked up!

"I shall not give up yet!  I have the perfect plan! With enough Tapogres, I can eventually fill the bar with so many corpses they will have no choice but to leave it, separating the group to be picked off by..."

Dylan rambled on into the night, getting ready to enact another scheme that would never get past phase 1.

Q's Bayou Aventure Pt. 7

Mr. Snoops and Penny desperately kicked and screamed as what remains of an alligator tries to devour them. Bernard and Bianca are quick to act, climbing up onto the alligator to try and distract the creature from the humans, but this time it was not going to be fooled by ruses. Ellie Mae and Luke rushed to aide the other mice, but Luke was already losing his buzz and his movements became slow and uncoordinated. Ellie Mae crawled up the car and began to smack the exposed bone of Nero's jaw with her pin, causing tiny fractures to appear.

Penny pulled herself free from the car, but Mr. Snoops was still trapped. Trying to fend off the alligator teeth with your hands is not smart, and soon his flesh was punctured by the creature's teeth. Mr. Snoops was beginning to be eaten!

Q dove in to help them fight off the reptile, but Medusa quickly grabbed the owl by his wing and threw him against a nearby tree.

"Y-y-y-y-you dumb t-t-t-t-talking animals!" Medusa dropped the leash and jumped onto the fallen owl, ripping feathers out of place and bruising the bird's hollow bones. Evinrude saw Q in trouble and acted fast. The dragonfly zipped over and plunged itself into Medusa's ear. She reached up to try and pry him loose, but the dragonfly flew out of one ear and into the next. Soon she was swatting around her head with both hands, trying to shoo away the insect.

Q took the moment to try and pulled himself up. He tested his wings and found himself able to fly, albeit very painfully. Q didn't need to fly long though, just enough to rescue the others.

Q flew up high and swept down, catching Medusa's hair in his talons and pulling her towards the car. Medusa screamed and pulled at her hair, removing chunks of it but also bashing the bird's feet. Q continued through it though and threw her on top of Nero, who was still trying his best to bite Mr. Snoops. Bernard and Bianca jumped off just in time to avoid being crushed. Ellie Mae's pin had bust a chunk of the gator's jaw off, causing the bottom bit of it to become unhinged, but the teeth could still stab even if the jaw could not bite. Q continued to drag Medusa over Nero, but as he neared the head, he knew Medusa's added weight would bring the sharp teeth down on Snoops hard.

"The diamond! Hold up the diamond!" He hooted out, just as Medusa began to roll onto Nero's head. Mr. Snoops barely had time to pull the diamond up to block the teeth coming down on him now, The jaw shattered as it made contact with the Devil's Eye, and Medusa rolled off the now dead alligator and into Mr. Snoops hands. The diamond rolled off as Mr. Snoops held Medusa in his arms.

"Mr. Snoops... You aren't going to help her now, are you?" Asked Penny, flustered from the experience. Mr. Snoops thought for a bit, the still conscience and crazy Medusa looking up at him expectedly. Suddenly, the death throes of what remained of Nero frightened him, causing him to drop Miss Medusa. She helped herself to her feet and prepared to strike when Bernard climbed onto her dress. Her phobia caused her to stumble about wildly, and the drunkenness didn't help. She fell headfirst onto the car, knocking herself out.

After the group had regained composure, dumped and alligator corpse, and locked Medusa in the trunk of the now righted car, they prepared to make their farewells once more.

"Mr. Snoops, oh Mr. Snoops," Bianca piped up, "what about the diamond? You lost it in the fight."

"Oh phooey, let it be someone else's problem. I know its caused enough for me!"

"What about that Miss Medusa? What are you going to do with her?" Bernard asked.

"I guess I will take her to the police. Just as long as none of you tell one me for helping her out. I am awfully sorry about that Penny..."

"It's alright Mr. Snoops. Just as long as you take me home!"

The group drove off. Miss Medusa was arrested and charged with abduction amongst many other crimes, while Mr. Snoops was almost charged until the court realized Medusa was too rattled from her experience to be reliable in her incriminating accusations of him.

Mr. Snoops then drove Penny, the Rescuers, Q, and even Evinrude up to New York. Penny was returned to the orphanage, where she awaits a happy family. Bernard and Bianca reported back to the headquarters of the Rescue Aid Society, reporting the mission a success. Evinrude was honorarily instated, and Q was offered the same honors, but he refused.

"I am honored and flattered, but I sadly do not have the time to provide my services to the wonderful organization. I am still seeking a cure for my current state."

"Don't think we forgot Mr. Owl... I mean Mr. Q. I will gladly help you find a..." Bernard is interrupted by Bianca.

"He means WE will help you find a cure  for being an owl."

Evinrude is quick to shake his head no, buzzing his eagerness to help Q out. Besides, the bug still felt he had a debt to the bird after he was saved from those bats earlier.

"Oh, you want to help him Evinrude? Well, I guess you could." Bernard said, a bit disappointed not to be going on another mission with Miss Bianca.

"Don't worry Bernard, we will find more people who need help. We are the Rescue Aid Society after all!" Bianca says, hugging Bernard and waving goodbye to Q and Evinrude as they go off. A few members of the society were kind enough to patch up Q's injuries, making the bird as fit as a fiddle for when he would reappear at the bar later to resume his reading.

"Well Evinrude, I believe that was the most impressive adventure I've been on in years. Just between you and me, it was actually kind of fun!"

-FIN-

Q's Bayou Adventure Pt. 6

After stumbling about in the woods for a bit, the group returned to Ellie Mae's shack to regroup and wait for the flying creatures to return. However, when they saw Mr. Snoops racing towards somewhere with the diamond glittering underneath his arm, they decided to follow him. The group raced around the shore, but at this rate they would never reach the car before him.

Luckily, taking the shore allowed them to run into Q and Evinrude exhausted on the shore. Ellie Mae and Luke stayed with the two flying friends and told the others to go, hoping against hope that they would somehow reach the car before Mr. Snoops.

Ellie Mae cleaned up Evinrude, who was wet and shivering but just fine. Q, on the other hand, seemed more battered than they thought. Muck was between his feather, and it was clear some of the attacks from the alligators had done some damage.

"The bird is all busted up now too? Don't they know what the answer to everything is yet?" Luke said, He reached into his pajamas and pulled out a tiny flask. It was his last bit of moonshine. It would take days to whip up another batch.

"Now listen here Luke, you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking. That needs to go in Q's mouth or he may never wake up. We'll get to work right after making more, but right now this bird has earned himself a saving drink!"

Luke tries his best to fight the urge to drink, but his body won't listen to his mind. He is about to drink the last bit of the shine before a rolling pin comes slamming on his head, causing him to drop it.

"Honestly!" Ellie Mae says in a huff, quickly pouring the drink down Q's mouth. Similar to Evinrude earlier, Q is instantly reinvigorated, and the bird just can't seem to stay still. He flutters about, his injuries meaningless to him now. He spots Mr. Snoops and grabs the two mice and Evinrude, flying at top speed to intercept the chubby fellow.

The whole group reached the car just as the engine roared. Mr. Snoops stepped on the pedal and took off, driving the clunky machine down a dirt road out of the bayou.

Penny began to cry. "Now I'll never get back to the orphanage... Now no one will ever adopt me!"

"Now now, don't cry darling,  hope is not gone yet." Bianca fights through the bleak outlook of things to try and calm down the girl, but everyone can only look on sadly as the car becomes a dot on the horizon...

"Well, I've made it! Medusa is gone, those dumb gators are gone, I'm home free! Off to live a life of riches! All because of this diamond that... that a little girl almost died getting me..." Mr. Snoops musing is punctuated by the stopping of his engine. He may be greedy and easy to manipulate, but he did have a conscience that kicked in every now and then.

As the Rescuers and the Bayou mice tried to calm young Penny down, and as Q tried to calm himself down from the drunken fervor he had entered, Evinrude began to buzz excitedly. Pointing to the horizon, the car came back into view. Mr. Snoops waved at the group, and the group all cheered.

After Mr. Snoops apologized for his behavior, he gladly agreed to take Penny and the rest back to New York. The Bayou mice decided to stay, and the car set off, carrying our heroes off as Ellie Mae and Luke waved goodbye.

But suddenly giant bony fangs lashed out. What remained off Nero pushed the car over and began snapping at Penny and Mr. Snoops. Holding Nero on a leash was a frazzled and still obviously drunk Miss Medusa.

"You can't get my d-d-d-d-diamond  away that easil-l-l-l-ly!"

Q's Bayou Adventure Pt. 5

As Penny raced by, Luke and Ellie Mae were waiting by their shack for Evinrude to return. Seeing the girl run by clued them in to the current state of affairs, and they were quick to respond. As Medusa turned the corner, the two mice leaped up onto her legs and began to attack as best they could. Luke purposefully climbed up the woman as Ellie Mae banged a rolling pin against the woman's shins. Medusa shrieked from both pain and fear, her musophobia making it like a scene from a nightmare for her.

Meanwhile, the alligators were swimming up on the scene in the water, an owl and a dragonfly in hot pursuit.

"Evinrude, I need you to fly down and attack their eyes. That should aggravate them enough to pursue you. Then you must fly back to me. I will be here, and I shall lead them back to the boat. If we can find some place aboard the ship to lock them away we won't have to worry about them attacking the child!"

Evinrude nodded and dove down, landing directly on Nero's eyeballs. The alligator snapped and flailed about in the water from the assault on his eyes. Sadly, Evinrude was not fast enough to fly away from the flailing reptile, and the dragonfly was slapped down into the water.

"Evinrude!"

Q dove down into the water, hooking the bug's sweater onto one of his talons. As he tried to swim about, the owl quickly realized that he let his emotions overcome his logic. The bird's body was not built for swimming, and Q the owl flailed about in the water, drawing a lot of attention from two ornery alligators just feet away from the scene.

Back on the boat, Mr. Snoops had started up a tiny motorboat like machine and was beginning to drive over to where he last saw Medusa and Penny. He wasn't a bad guy, he just wanted money and was easily manipulated by the overbearing Medusa.

This of course didn't matter to two alligators, who saw the portly man and had to make a decision. Eat the easy meal that floundered about in the water before them, or eat the delicious meat of a large fellow? The owl, it was closer and they could get Mr. Snoops next. They opened their mouths wide and tried to chomp down...

Only to lock their jaws together just inches from crushing Q. The gators turned against each other quickly, biting and snapping angrily. Q took the moment to try a daring move. He pulled himself and Evinrude on top of Brutus, which caused Nero to leap up onto the other gator. Q quickly hopped over to Nero's back, causing Brutus to spin around and attack Nero's back. Q continued to jump around on the two scaly backs until both reptiles had been properly aggravated. The constant friendly fire turned the gators against one another. Both beasts begin to tear each other apart, partly out of rage, but as they bit into each other, their hunger took over.

Q leaped off them and floundered as best he could through the murky water to the shore.

Medusa managed to shake Ellie Mae off, but Luke got up to her face and chucked his tiny bottle of moonshine down her throat. The intense brew began to work its magic in her system, causing the woman to seize up and flail from the potency of the drink. The mice quickly left her to drunken spasms as they ran off into the forest, hoping to find Q and the escape route.

What they didn't know was that Q was on the shore, barely clinging to life. Owls are not supposed to swim, and now he had confirmed that for sure.

Mr. Snoops pulled up to the shore, seeing the two alligators tearing each other apart from afar. Silently he cheered to himself, glad to be rid of those nuisances, but the spasming Medusa nearby caught his attention. Mr. Snoops went to help her, but quickly he had a change of heart. Or rather, he realized he could take the diamond from her in this state and run off in her car.

Mr. Snoops pilfered the Devil's Eye and got back onto his Swampmobile. He drove the machine back to the boat, near which he would find his car and possibly drive away Penny's hope of returning to New York City...

Q's Bayou Adventure Pt. 4

Reinvigorated by the moonshine, Evinrude flew a few laps around the tiny shack before simmering down a bit. Q explained his situation to Evinrude, and the bug quickly flew off, eager to help the owl who saved him from the bats find the car.

Meanwhile, back in the cave, Bernard and Bianca have made a breakthrough! While digging through the dirt, they found a pirate's skeleton. Within its skull was the Devil's Eye diamond, and although both the mice and Penny had tried to pry it loose, the diamond was wedged in that skull pretty good. The tide was beginning to rise to the point Penny had to put the Rescuers on her shoulders so they wouldn't drown. Reaching down into the water, she dislodged the skull from the skeleton and went to the bucket that was waiting for her. Yelling up that she had the diamond, Mr. Snoops and Medusa pulled the rope and the girl out of the cave.



"My diamond! Oh my diamond! It is so beautiful! And it's all mine! MINE!" Medusa laughed as she admired her diamond, ignoring Penny as she tried to make a getaway.

"M-Medusa, that girl is escaping!" Mr. Snoops chased after Penny. "Wait, why do we need the girl anymore?"

Medusa looked at Mr. Snoops. " You are quite right. We don't need her... Feed to her Brutus and Nero."

"THE ALLIGATORS?!?! We can't go and feed her to your pets! That's... That's..."

"What, Mr. Snoops? What is it?"

Medusa leaned in close to Mr. Snoops, anger clearly in her eyes. Mr. Snoops stuttered out an answer, "T-that's v-very good. They h-haven't eaten s-since last night."

Snoops scurries back to the boat, undoing the leashes of Medusa's two pet alligators.



"N-now get her, you two.NOT ME! NOT ME! THE LITTLE GIRL!"

Mr. Snoops ran into the boat and blocked the door as the gators tried to eat him, but after they could no longer reach him, they decided to pursue Penny and the Rescuers.

Q and Evinrude had just located the car when they heard Mr. Snoops ordering the alligators around. Q made a mental note of where it was and followed Evinrude towards the scene of the screams. The two noticed the alligators and knew what they would have to do. To save the little girl and the Rescuers, they would have to find a way to stop the two gators.

Medusa was chasing after the girl as well, the diamond clutched tightly in her hands. The chase was going into the bayou's forest, right near Ellie Mae's shack.

Q's Bayou Adventure Pt.3

Bernard and Bianca had scurried off into the hole to help her find the Devil's Eye. After introducing themselves and getting to know Penny quickly, the mice scurried around the cave, looking for what should be a gigantic diamond. Penny and the Rescuers ignored the other gems as they rummaged around in the cave. The tide began to rise...

Q was flying towards the wrecked boat at this point, but something caught his eye. A tiny shack no bigger than an toddler. "The things I do now that I am an owl..." Q said as he wrapped his talons on the door of the shack.

A large mouse answered, but quickly slammed the door when she saw who was knocking.

"Go away you big ol' owl! We don't want no trouble!"

"Neither do I," responded Q, "But that is precisely why I am here! I am here to help a little girl escape from that Medusa woman. I was wondering if you might know of any transportation out of this swamp fit for human travel."

The mouse opened the door again.

"You are here to help that poor child they abducted? Oh my, oh my yes I can help you! That lady has a car she parked somewhere in the forest. She drives it around and kicks up all sorts of trouble. I can hardly sleep when its around! I know where it is, but I figure a big ol' owl like yourself needs someone who can fly around and show you the place."

The mouse, Ellie Mae walks out of her house and begins to holler.

"EVINRUDE!!! OH EVINRUDE!!!!"

A dragonfly in a sweater comes flying in, but since its night, there are more than talking owls and evil diamond-seeking ladies about. A group of bats is chasing after Evinrude, and the poor dragonfly seems to be slowing down from exhaustion.

Before Ellie Mae can even ask Q, the great gray owl is up in the air, dropping his protective thimbles onto the dirt near the shack as he flew towards the bats. Evinrude sees Q flying towards him and promptly faints, falling into a downwards spiral. Q flies under Evinrude and lets the bug land safely on his back before he begins swatting the bats away with his wings. The bats nip and bite while being assaulted, but the large owl is much too big to battle and they are not that committed to hunting one solitary bug to risk bodily injury. The bats fly off into the night as Q lands and lets Ellie Mae look over the bug.

"Ah, poor dear, he's just passed out."

Out of the shack walks a drunk mouse in pajamas.

"Is that Evinrude? That bug done tired himself up again didn't he? Just give him a bit of this and he'll be up and at 'em."

The mouse, named Luke, took his bottle of moonshine and poured it down the fainted bug's mouth.







Q's Bayou Adventure Pt.2

Q was an owl, so the night flying was no trouble for him. As the two mice slept on his back, Q followed their directions to a tiny bayou. In the bayou was the wreck of a steamboat, on which two alligators were leashed to a railing. If Q wasn't so used to the bar this might seem a bit odd, but it did not phase him.

What did phase him were the screams of a little girl. Q landed on a tree and watched as a rather ugly woman and a stout man guided the child to a hole in the ground.
"Now Penny, stop screaming and crawl in that hole! You need to get in there before high tide or else we'll never get that diamond!"

 Penny continues to struggle in the fat man's grip, refusing to go into the whole. The ugly woman pushes him aside. "You bumbling idiot Snoops! You can't be so rude!"

"Now Penny dear, we need to put you down in the cave so we can get the Devil's Eye. You remember that don't you? Only you can fit in the hole. If you be a dear and fetch us that diamond, you can live with me and Mr. Snoops on our boat for the rest of your life!"

Penny quickly pulls away. "I don't want to live with you! I want to go back to New York. I want someone else to adopt me!"

The woman, Miss Medusa, pushes her into a bucket dangling from a rope above the cave. "If you ever want to see anyone besides those skeletons down there, you better grab me that diamond! Because this time, you won't be coming out until you do!"

"N-now Medusa, we can't do that, she might d-die!"
"I know Mr. Snoops! That is precisely the POINT!"

Penny begins crying as she is lowered into the pit. Q wakes up Bernard and Bianca and tells them the scene he just witnessed.

"Oh my, poor baby, how will ever help her?" Bianca asks.

"Well, we will just have to go down there and help her find that diamond! Then we can plan an escape." Bernard says.

"She might be a bit too large for me to be able to carry her home... While you two are down there, I will look around and try to find a suitable escape route for the young girl once you rescue her!" Q flies off towards the boat, hoping that since Medusa seems to live there, there would be some sort of transportation back to the city.

Q's Bayou Adventure Pt.1

Adopting to his new lifestyle was a rough task at first, but he had gotten used to it. Q, a man trapped in an owl's body, now had his predatory nature down pat, swooping down on unsuspecting rodents in New York

What he did not know was that today, an assembly of rodents was gathering near the United Nations. It was the Rescue Aid Society, a group of mice devoted to helping anyone in need. Based around the tale of the mouse and the lion with a thorn in its paw, the mice ensured no one was alone in their troubles.

Q may have not known about the assembly at first, but he did notice a lot of mice scurrying about New York's streets. He waited on a perch high above, removing the thimbles Zephyrus had given him. They were great for everyday uses, but when he hunted, he had to leave them on a perch. Eying two mice scurrying off, Q swooped down and lifted the two mice up, one in each talon.

He was used to his prey squeaking in terror, he had long since learned to ignore it, but he had not expected voices.

"Put me down you big jerk!"

Q's grip loosened immediately in shock. The rats began to tumble to the road below, but Q quickly swooped them up again, this time to rescue them.

"I sure hope I didn't catch one of those muppets again," thinks Q as he drops the mice safely on his perch.



The two mice were Bernard and Miss Bianca. Bianca was a Hungarian mouse and an agent of the society, whereas Bernard was a janitor conscripted by her to be her co-agent for the mission. They had just found a lead on their case. They explained all this to Q, who understood their plight and was intrigued by the Society's missions to help anyone who needed it.

"Well, I do apologize for scooping you up, but now it seems I might need your help myself. You see, I am not supposed to be an owl. I was somehow turned into one."

Bernard and Bianca looked at each other in disbelief. Bernard speaks up, "Well, Mr. Q, I don't know much about transforming, but if you help us with our mission, maybe we can help you with your troubles too."

Bianca laughed. "Of course we will help you dear, we just need to find the little girl first. Her name is Penny. She is a little orphan who some crazy lady took to Devil's Bayou."

"I have never heard of that place, but if you tell me the way, I could fly you there. All I ask is that someone from your society helps me after your mission is complete."

"You've got a deal Mr. Owl! I mean... Q" Bernard quickly climbs aboard Q's back, pulling Bianca up. The group flies off to Devil's Bayou, seeking the young orphan Penny.

Coincidences

If you have not seen "The Incredible Hulk", the film, this post does contain spoilers for it.

Last night, I posted the fite between Devil Ed and Brilliant Kid. Also last night, I got the film The Incredible Hulk in the mail through Netflix. I have never seen it before, not even a bit of it besides a few trailers many years back. It was the only Marvel film that tied into the Avengers that I haven't seen and I wanted to see it before I go to see Avengers soon.

Anyway, last night I worked on the fite and posted it around 10 or 11 I think. Today, around 1 pm, I watched Incredible Hulk. The coincidences between the final battle of the Incredible Hulk and last night's fite are uncanny.

In last night's fite near the end, Brilliant Kid got a hold of a sturdy chain, which he proceeded to use like a weapon. However, Devil Ed was able to get the weapon away from him and use it to strangle Brilliant Kid from behind. However, he did not kill Brilliant Kid, merely let him pass out.

In the climax of the Incredible Hulk, the Abomination got a hold of a sturdy chain, which he proceeded to use like a weapon. However, the Hulk was able to get the weapon away from him and use it to strangle the Abomination from behind. However, he did not kill the Abomination, merely let him pass out.

Now then, how on Earth was I able to so closely copy a scene from the movie I had not yet seen? Perhaps Marvel and I just both appreciate the use of chain weaponry. This crazy occurrence was too much for me not to point out.

There were a few minute differences between the setup, but still! Crazyness!

Seems like its about time to get the RP train a-roaring

Zoofights 7 might not be what we thought, but I think its time to kick the RPing off over there since people will be returning soon.  Whatever the Major has planned I'm sure will be awesome, but its time to move in and reinvigorate the bar.

First, the theme, since we don't know if we have one this year. I say we just go ahead and do "nineties until we know better". You all have it set in your mind anyway, so might as well do it unless the Major's mysterious plans say otherwise.

Next, time to put up the rebooted topics. I'm about to slap down the welcome to the bar topic, and I'll post the new Fite Yer' Mates topic soon. Gezora can post the new "The Bar" and "The King of Beasts" topics so that we don't have 1000 page backlogs and we can have a fresh start there, and you all can repost your topics as you see fit.

So lets get this rp going so we have the summer to have fun, even if Zoofights isn't quite what we thought it'd be this year.
