Sadly, a mini asteroid came and hit Erolyn.

Manadren sobbed a little and exclaimed "I'm going to die alone!" Then he shrugged it off and went and played a little galaga.
Unbeknownst to Manadren, though, a super-secret race of aliens was watching him play Galaga...

mostly bad bee horde! These bees were bad (mostly) and determined to take over a small planet in the eastern quadrant whose name is yet to be mentioned in this story. This super secret race of aliens just had to recruit manadren to help defend this planet whose name had yet to be mentioned.

So they sent an elite squadron to come and pick him up... unfortunately this alien race was a mere centimeter tall, and manadren never saw them as he squashed the entire squadron under his foot as he walked towards his car.

Meanwhile, the unnamed planet under attack by the mostly bad bee horde was swallowed up by a wandering sentient black hole named Phil. Phil really didn't want to swallow up the planet, but that tends to happen whenever he drifts by.

Phil wasn't always like this though, being a black hole that is, he was once a...

solar system that got carried away with Planets and Magnetism and all that.

Meanwhile, as Manadren walked to his car, he noticed two thugs trying to steal his car.
"Poor, misguided bastards. They won't know what hit them."

BEEP. Manadren pushed a button on his keychain...

Instantly, a force field expanded around the car, pushing away the thieves with an incredible force. And seeing as this was a space car, in space, next to a space Dairy Queen, there wasn't much gravity, or really any at all, so the thieves were shot a good distance into space, and floated on for a while, until eventually the space police came by and picked them up.

manadren then turned off the shield again and got in his space car. It was only a quick 15 min drive at warp 7 to his destination, which was...

...said "Wow, what a cop out.."

Then suddenly the room around you disappears. You are falling in a bottomless pit. You hear a voice in the distance, however you can only make out the words "Dragon Palace". Slowly you lose consciousness, fading into a blackness within the abyss.

You awake upon a fluffy round bed, with a headboard shaped like seashells. Next to the bed is a small table upon which is a lamp, a small bag, and a book. A beautiful woman stands before you wearing a shimmering blue gown that seems almost transparent.

Exits are to the south and east.

...no. If it really bothers you, picture 2 typical fan shaped seashells, some kind of cream or off-white color, meeting at the center at opposing 65 or there abouts degree angles, or perhaps 3, 1 in the center at 90, and 2 at 45 degrees flanking the center. That's kinda what I had in my head when I wrote that. Though a side view of a nautilus type shell would be nifty too.

...anyway, can we get back to the story? To remind you...

You decide to take the exit to the east, but store the woman in your knapsack for later use, along with the book and the lamp. You're not sure why you'd ever really NEED a lamp, but hey, it never hurts to be prepared.

You open the door to the east and find that you are now outside. It's pretty much just your typical open field. There's a couple TREES in the distance. As you stand there staring boredly at the TREES, you hear loud breathing behind you. When you turn around, you notice a very large TROGDOR standing behing you. It's too bad you left your SWORD at home, because it looks like you're in danger of being burninated.

Exits are to the NORTH, WEST, and TROGDOR.

use WOMAN with TROGDOR

Lobbing the woman at Trogdor, you've distracted him enough to escape to the NORTH. However, you stop for a second to watch the woman's clothes burns off, cause you're a PERVERT like that.

Having put sufficient distance between you and Trogdor, you find youself now in a small township. There is a SHOP to your right and an INN on the left side of you. Beofre you a road leads further NORTH into the mountains.

Two miles away, ironically enough, MrSelf was also dropkicking something, but it wasn't a compy...

...a Plogstar 5000 microwave oven! Complete with touchmagilistic buttons and futuristic LED display! Apparently it burnt MrSelf's Hot Pocket. He was none too happy about that. So he drop kicked it. He had issues. Sintekk wasn't too happy about this either. He planned to sell the microwave on eBay to a collector. Apparently people collects these types of things. Sintekk popped MrSelf upside the head and yelled at him. This made MrSelf feel sad. Sintekk apologized. They both agreed it was time to go on a magical quest, a quest to find a microwave that didn't burn Hot Pockets....

They rang up Manadren. "Hey, dude, can we borrow your Yugo? We're going on a quest and stuff. Magical quest. You know how it is."

Manadren said, "Sure thing, but first, you must answer my questions three!
Question Number one: What is the velocity of an unladen Goldfish swallowed by a pelican?"

MrSelf pondered this... this was a tough one...

"What kind of Goldfish are we talking here? The 10 cent kind you get from the pet store, or the giant one youu put in artificial ponds? Also, are we talkin velocity relative to the pelican or to the ground?"

"Hmm, I don't really...."

MrSelf was unsure, but it sounded as if manadren had been thrown into a chasm.

"...I think that's a no. Sintekk, I think we're going to have to find an alternative mode of transportation."

"And I've got the perfect idea...."

"You see, MrSelf, we're next to the Old People's Home..."

"So?"

"All the people there are rich. They can afford fancy cars and stuff."

"So?"

"We're going to steal their electrical wheelchairs and sell them for Bus Passes."

"That's ace, old top! But how do we infiltrate the home?"

"Leave that up to me. See, I got a mole inside the home..."

The mole turned out to be literally a mole. It dug a hole into the old folks home and opened the door for them. Staff was on break, and the old people were to old and slow to do anything, so MrSelf and sintekk, simply waltzed in, again literally, it looked quite strange, and took all the electric wheelchairs.

When the staff came back off break, no one believed the old folks when they told them, as the couldn't believe 2 people would literally waltz in and take wheelchairs like that. The plan had worked like a charm.

So it was off to sell the wheelchairs. Apparently electric wheelchairs call a pretty high price on the black market, so sintekk was able to set up a buyer pretty easily. And that buyer was none other than....

Uncle Joe Stalin, who never died, just was simply preserved for the last 50 years in a snowbank. Realizing the need to build up Soviet Russia's military again, he was quite eager to buy these wheelchairs to turn them into vehicles for launching nukes.

"Hey, sintekk, with all this money from selling those chairs, instead of buying a bus pass, why don't we just buy a...?"

"...VW Bus?"


So they did, and with the money left over, they took it to a mechanic to make sure it still worked.

They were ready to go.. but they had no idea where to go. Someone mentioned an Oracle at Delphi, so they headed for Borland international headquarters, looking for some guy who knew about databases.

But halfway out of town, they got sidetracked and ended up at Sears...

"Woah"

Sintekk was watching one of them spinning clothes washers with a window on it.

"Sintekk, we gotta go! I got the Hot Pocket munchies!"

"So... mesmerising..."

Suddenly, out of the darkest of the dark shadows, popped out the most notorious toaster oven salesman known to people shopping in sears...

Condoleeza Rice!!!!!

She looked at MrSelf and his head asploded. Slowly turning to sintekk she said... "I think you're looking for this particular model."

Fearing her wrath, sintekk slowly took the toaster oven, and backed away, and just as he turned the corner, he saw...
