[part 1]
Adrift at sea, waiting to die, Michael Penn thought about the previous weeks of his life, wondering why it had come to this...
THREE WEEKS EARLIER
Michael's door rang and he was to surprised to find Frank, his mailman, in the nude and trying to hand deliver a small package. When Michael got past the idea that Frank was naked (and seemingly oblivious to his lack of clothing) he signed for the parcel and shook it. he became alarmed when he noticed the whirring noise coming from his matchbox-sized, yet inconcievably heavy mail. As he looked at it with wide eyes he realized nude Frank had left in quite a hurry. Unsure how much time he had, Michael heaved the parcel up onto the roof next door and took cover. Moments passed in silence. As he crunched down, hands over ears and a$$ in the air, his other neighbor asked "What the flip are you doing, Mike?"
Relaxing, Mike stood up, embarassed, and said "Columbia House. Tired of their $hit."
"Hey, no worries. I throw stuff up onto Rick's roof all the time. That's what he gets for leaving that piece of $hit Civic out in the open!"
As his neighbor went inside, so to did Mike, since the ticking box warrented no more worry.
* * * *
Just as Michael sat down to watch Wheel of Fortune, a loud explosion atop Rick's roof shattered the window pane behind him. Michael got up from his chair and ran outside. That's when.....he heard a sound he thought a hoover the size a small skyscraper would make. he held onto the mirror of Rick's crappy civic, his legs flying up in the air and watched as the neighbors (and his tv) flew past him into a hole where Rick's roof used to be. just when he thought he could hold on no more..
the Civic lifted into the air, su cking both itself and Rick into a void of black, sticky stuff. 'like warm licorice' his mind thought stupidly.
* * * * *
Michael awoke to find himself staring at a large vomit-covered meatball lodged in the side of a school building. As he shifted his gaze, the landscape ahead was much like Montana, with the exception of a river of Surge and a mountain shaped like a snake. "Oh, now what?"
Michael turned about to see the void he had come thorugh was still open. He sprinted for it, stumbling, almost falling, his mouth open as he clawed his way towards the void, which looked eerily like his Aunt Marge's carport. he shook this insane thought from his mind as he took a flying leap into the black swirly carport. he merely bounced backwards and sat there on arse, his head titled in a quizzical way and looking at the swirly beyond. he glanced over his shoulder and saw a sea of school kids, covered in meatball remnants and wearing BK crowns pouring out of the balled buildin. they were coming, no running at him. Mike turned again to the carport/vortex...
I'm not going to die here, he thought. I still need to see how Sopranos ends!
Ahead, the vortex doorway was closing. Typical. As Mike leapt for the void, he felt a hand grip his ankle.
* * * *
Mike was back on his street, neighbors gathered to spectate in his and Rick's misfortunes. Mike looked down to see a small, vomit-covered boy had followed him back. "My name's Timmy. Thank you for rescuing me."
"Uh, sure..."
"What the **bleep** happened to my roof?! Where's my car?!?!" Rick shouted.
"Hey, Timmy, can you still run?"
Rick saw Mike and grimmaced. "You!! This is your fault, isn't it?!" Just as Rick charged...a gunshot rang through the air, rick hit the floor and rolled for cover.
Mike looked around and settled on Timmy, who was brandishing a smoking PEZ dispenser in Rick's general direction.
"i put gumdrops in it", he explained nonchalantly.
"let's get out of here" Mike growled. "and put that thing on safety".
Hoping it was safe, Rick stood up and saw Michael and the like freak kid running away. "Get back here, you two!"
"Rick...why don't we have a roof?"
(sing-song) "Coming dear."
* * * *
Sitting inside a Sheetz, Mike watched as Timmy ducked behind a car and followed it into the car wash. Meanwhile, as he waited for the kid to get the turtle wax, he pulled out his cell phone and made a call. "Brenda, is Lou there? OK, tell him he needs to call me when he gets back. Huh? Yes, I had fun the other night. I don't know, Brenda, maybe. Now's not a good time. OK. Same to you with a titty twist."
Timmy walked into Sheetz soaking wet and steaming. "Can I get a Twinkie, now?"
* * * *
Just as the dump truck backed into Rick's driveway, a hole in the air opened and out of it came a skeleton, wielding a samurai sword and helmet, and clad in yellow and orange armor.
"Daddy, look! Skeletor!"
The skeleton warrior charged at the kid and kicked him into the house via the front window. "I AM NOT SKELETOR! I am Bludgeon! Where is the child?"
"You mean mine, the one you just kicked?" asked Rick, almost crying.
"No, the one covered in bile!"
"He followed my neighbor into town."
Bludgeon turned, slashed the dump truck's tire, and ran off towards town.
"Oh, dear? Why is Charlie sticking out of the fridge?"
"Coming, dear."
* * * *
Mike and Timmy sat on a park bench, waiting for...something. Mike's cell phone to go off. Another void to open. Timmy to spontaneously combust. Whatever.
"Timmy, can you tell me where you came from?"
"A stork. That's what my mommy said."
"Santa Claus, more likely." Mike said sarcastically.
"Santa Claus! Awesome!"
"Timmy, please, can you tell me everything that happened to you before you grabbed my leg?"
"Okay...."
Timmy went on to tell a tale that's been heard all too often. He's had parents, he'd had toys, he'd lived through a satanic ritual or too, and had seen more Cap'n Crunch in his life that any boy Timmy's age should.
Mike sat in amazement at this tale. What he found most astonishing was the detail with which Timmy could recall his entire life's story and the liberty that Tim took with the term "before". Mike never would be able to remember more than a few tidbits of Timmy's unbelievable story, but he would never forget the simple experience of being told.
As an awkward silence overcame the duo that something that they were waiting for decided to wait no longer. As clearly as he saw the nose on his face (which is not very clear at all), Mike saw a small worm ease its way from Tim's ear.
Mike Grabbed the worm in his ear! It was Kim-JongIll in a form of a form of a worm instead of a thingyroach. Kim was once again looking for a host to use So he found mike a better host so he jumped to his ear reaching the brainThe body of Mike, now possessed by the worm-sized warlord, jumped around in confusion. Bystanders started to gather around the carwash parking lot. Finally, Kim Jong Ill jumped out of Mike with a final "Dammit!" and fell to the ground where he was instantly smashed. But of course Kim's true leader "The Giant Baby" was not going to stand for this. He attacked the city with his giant Toy Which crushed just about the whole airforce. Sephiroth was watching the destruction But then he could not stand the giant baby for Sephiroth was the true leader So sephiroth flew towards the Baby Then "Big Baby," said Sephiroth, summoning the giant Body by its true name. "I command you to be green."
And the Body turned green. Sephiroth smiled, thinking of the newfound power he seemed to have over this creature. He pondered the infinite ways he might command it to do his bidding, for the good or ill of mankind. It stood there, twenty storeys tall, with its head in the clouds, green all over and it looked right back at Sephiroth. Sephiroth's lips curled into a smile and he shouted once again- "Big Baby! "I command you to...clean up this mess, but do so dressed as a color-blind cheetah and sing the tune of The Pina Colada song. When you are finished, and you do a good job, then maybe we'll go sack Denver. Okay?"
And with that, the mammoth adversaries were gone...
Mike looked at Tim in astonishment. "Now, please tell me your mother nags you about washing your ears."
That's when a samurai sword nearly lopped Mike's head off. The two rolled into the fountain and turned to see a skeleton warrior charging at them. "Behold! It is I: Bludgeon," said the skeleton warrior, holding out his credentials: a little black wallet with a few pictures of him posing for the camera in a bikini. "I am here to remove Timmy from this silly vomit-free world. All who try to stop me shall be hewn in twain by my mighty samurai sword!"
It was at this point that Mike realized Bludgeon's sword was made of plastic. Not only that, but Bludgeon wasn't even the skeleton he first appeared. The bones were painted on a black spandex suit. Now this was ridiculous, thought Mike.
Mike said, “Stop fooling around, buddy. What do you think you're doing?" Mike took the sword away from him. "I saw this same thing at Toys R Us."
Suddenly, the skeleton split in two to reveal that he was actually a green robot which transformed into a tank. Bludgeon-tank aimed his canon at the boy. "My Pretender shell may not have intimidated you, but I'm sure this will. "Now get inside me!" said Bludgeon-the-tank.
"Beg Pardon?" Mike was confused. He looked over at Tim, who seemed just as perplexed.
"You heard me! Jump in."
Tim approached Bludgeon-the-tank, which was no more than four feet tall and a few feet wide. Mike walked up to the other side of the little tank and scratched his head. It was at this moment that Mike realized he could read minds. Eureka! he thought. He could hear Tim's thoughts too. Mike and tim both decided they were going to pick up Bludgeon-the-tank and hurl him into the gutter.
On three, he thought at Tim. One. Two Three!
“Three!”
Mike and tim made their move toward Blugeon Tank. Mike grabbed him from around the ankles, Tim by the head. "Hold on a sec!" Mike said as he spotted Blugeon wearing some kickin' Nike Air Force ones. "I'm coppin' these kicks from you nyucka!". "Throw him already d**nit!" As Blugeon hurled toward the gutter, the last words he uttered were "hyptu corana nikto". "Oh mother **bleep**!" exlaimed Tim. "what's wrong?" asked Mike. " He just unleashed a force on us the likes of which has never been seen or heard since the eighties and early ninties!" "Well what the he-" before Mike could finish his sentence a square shape tear in space and time opened in front of them. "Hey everybody! The secret word for today is Anihalation!".
"You've got to be sh1ting me!" Tim gasped as he gazed at none other than Pee Wee Herman. "We have to get the hell out of here!" Tim exlaimed as Pee Wee walked toward them, the very ground he tread upon died as he walked on his tippy toes reciting one liners from his canceled tv show, all the while fondling himself. "My god, the very escence of his futility is making everything around him die! We have to get help, and fast!" Tim stuttered as he and Mike made a mad dash away from Pee Wee, who for the while just seemed to be enjoying walking around aimlessly in an orgasmic state of idiocy. "Who's gonna stop a guy like that!" aske Mike. "There's only one man who can" answered TIm "Chuck Norris?" asked Mike eagerly. "No, last I heard he and a bunch of super stars beat the crap out of a whole town and are on haitus. We need someone else, someone who knows Pee wee." Tim said as he gazed up to a billboard of a cowboy on a horse. "No way......." Mike said. "I thought he died." "Oh he's very much alive and we need his help more than ever." The two headed on a journey, a journey to find Cowboy Curtis.
* * * *
Meanwhile in the depths of the sewer, Blugeon's body floated on a turd a rat was feasting upon. His eyes shot open....
While Tim and Mike made a mad dash for the bus station, Bludgeon-the-tank floated lazily down the underground river called the storm sewer. He was confident that PeeWee Herman could finish his job for him, but he also felt a degree of anxiety about putting his work in someone else's hands. Finally, he found a tunnel leading upwards and climbed up onto the street. The city above was in ruins. PeeWee's outline could be seen on the horizon as a mighty pillar of shadow spouting fire into the heavens. The sun was going down.
Now Bludgeon knew what he must do. He concentrated very hard on the shape of a pink triangle. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he had transformed from his green tank form into the form of a stately man dressed in 19th century garb. Only, he had a tall piece of pink construction paper sticking out the back of his head, loike a sail.
"Good day," he said to a passing womam with mascera-stained cheeks. He said the magic words haira kazoo and viola! The woman morphed into a giant elephant. "Hello there," he said to a crippled man perched atop a broken slab of concrete. When the man didn't reply, Bludgeon turned him into a little black crow, which fluttered off to perch atop the elephant's back.
A great lizard suddenly appeared before Bludgeon. "I am Gorgakk!" he cried, "and I am the magician of this city. I challenge you to a game of checkers to see who is fit to rule the other." Just in that moment, something very strange happened to Gorgakk...Gorgakk morphed into a huge dinosaur, twenty storeys tall.
"No! No!" said Bludgeon, but it was too late.
Where Pee Wee the monster could be seen on the skyline, causing ruin wherever he went, so did Gorgakk-the-dinosaur follow to where PeeWee now stood. Now they fought each other and it was a mighty fight. Bludgeon was powerless to do anything except watch as fire exploded from one tower to the other. They stood in the far distance, perhaps four miles away, but the spectacle of the two monsters fighting each other with their head in the clouds dominated the skyline. Suddenly one of them fell, but they were too far distant for Bludgeon to see which one. Night was coming on fast and Bludgeon soon found himself standing there alone, staring into the gloom.
"Do your worst...if you dare," came a voice from behind Bludgeon's ear. Bludgeon whirled around and found himself staring at a man-sized lizard with glowing red eyes.
"And Pee Wee--"
"He is very dead. You know, you shouldn't give a monster such an obvious weakness as pornos. I merely waved a DVD of FAT AS$ED MAMAS at him and he went limp like a little worm. I merely had to push him over and he crumbled into ashes."
"But he was...he was my greatest achievement."
"Not anymore. So, I believe we were about to settle who between us is the mightier?"
Bludgeon was suddenly overcome with a new idea. He started laughing, cackling is more like it. He stared at Gorgakk, who was becoming a little uneasy. He re-doubled his cackling. Then he stopped laughing long enough to say these words: "Eknar. Buurina. Morgat!"
Suddenly a very bright light came out of Bludgeon's chest. That was the last think Gorgakk ever saw. The light quickly grew into a superhot red flame that expanded and consumed everything around it. Bludgeon was the first to burn up. Then Gorgakk. Both magicians burned and died instantly. Then the flame spread out to the edges of the city, where it sizzled out. Every living thing in that city was reduced to ash within a few minutes. Thus was the end of Bludgeon and Gorgakk.
* * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, Mike and Tim were on a bus, well out of the city. In fact, they were surrounded on all sides by corn fields and empty road. They were hoping to find that mysterious man known in some parts of the world as Cowboy Curtis. But where they would find him, only fate knew.
"Mike, who is this Cowboy Curtis?"
"A legend. A myth. An unemployed actor outside of uber-geek films? Who's to say? But I fear he may be our only hope. But What I find strange is why Bludgeon was following you? Did you do something wrong? Steal candy? Tax evasion?"
"Well, my mom said to never talk to strangers."
"But you've been following me for hours. I bought you an f'n Twinkie!"
"Okay. You see I went to High School with bludgeon when he used to be human. Me and him had a dare who could lose their virginity before graduation. I lost mine to that hot chick who now works at McDonalds, he lost his to a chick who was really a dude I had convinced to dress as a chick and jump his bones." **bleep**...just, **bleep**. Mike said as the bus finally came to a stop outside of a 7-11. "Rest stop" the driver grumbled as he got out of his seat and headed into the building. "Finally! I gotta **bleep** like a race horse!" Mike said as him and Tom left the bus. All of a sudden the 7-11 burst into flames and the explosion sent Mike and Tom careening back into the bus knocking them both unconsious.
"Hello there, and welcome...to the real world." said a figure standing over them. Mike couldn't make out who it was as his vision slowly came back into focus. "Sorry about that explosion boys, I was practicin' mah lassoin' skills and accidentally hit a gas mane. Luckily the bus driver was the only one who died, it's cool though, he was a child molester anyway". "Who are y-oh my god." Tom paused as he was starring at none other than Cowboy Curtis. Behind Curtis was another man, short hair, a goatee, glazed over look on his countenance. "That can't be who I think it is...is it?" Mike asked Curtis. "Oh yeah fellas', that's mah good friend, Keeanu Reeves." "Not only do we have Cowboy Curtis, but we have a Keannu Reeves, we're gonna totally kick pee-wee's a$$" Mike exlaimed as he and Tom got up brushing themselves off. "Whoa...." Keannu said. "Friend doesn't say much, but he sure can deliver the saviorin'!" Curtis said. "You fella's need a lift?" "S-sure." Tom and Mike stammered as the group headed off toward Curtis's ride, the batmobile.
* * * *
In an undisclosed, dank warehouse, a man at a computer terminal was accessing a program entitled: Bludgeon Core Programming. He dragged it into a folder labeled Version 2.0 and double clicked another program.
On a table near by, another green robot was receiving the programming while a pneumatic mold press lifted, revealing a newly shaped Pretender shell for Bludgeon.
"Soon, very soon, when the writers deem it necessary, I will wreak the havoc I'm entitled to and destroy the little boy Timmy!"
* * * *
* * * *
"So let me get this straight, little man," started Keanu, "You're only six years old, yet you have a nemesis that's been resurrected as a Transformer because you screwed his girl...and then him?"
"Yep."
"Woah!"
As they rode in the batmobile there came a great rumbling up the road ahead. A giant robot bursts from the ground fashioning all kinds of sadistic weaponry. Lazers, knives and stabbing weapons, double sided dildos, it was awful. "**bleep** **bleep**" exlaimed Cowboy Curtis. "Yeah what is it?" answered Keannu Reeves as everyone in the car looked at him in a befuddled look.
"I am a sentinel, sent forth to-"
"Sentinels?!" Keanu jumped up, threw on his dark sunglasses, and flew at it, knocking it over. "It ends tonight."
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Atop the hill stood a scarred black man with a mullet and a large rifle. "That's my sentinel! That's Nimrod!"
"And you are?"
"The name's Bishop, rookie."
As Keanu and Bishop argue over who gets to attack the sentinel, the robot regains its balance and charges at the batmobile.
"Step on it, Curtis!"
The sentinel charged after the batmobile. Mike looked into Curtis's sideview mirror to see that the object was seemed larger then-
The sentinel fired a rocket and exploded a Dairy Queen ahead. "Hang on!" yelled Curtis as he reacted to the oncoming debris, driving around the soft serve machines and refridgerators.
"Don't you have any weapons in this tub?'
"Back seat!"
Tim looked down to see an assortment of costumes and props. One was a soldier's fatigues and a M-16, another was a doctor and a stethoscope, and one was a french maid with a feather duster. "So, you're not really a cowboy?"
Curtis saw Timmy about to cry. "Of course I'm a cowboy, pardner!"
Mike, improvising, grabbed a large container of vasoline he found in the backseat and spilled it out onto the road behind them. The sentinel careened over the vasaline sending it flying into the air and landing in the batmobile's path. "I can't stop it, the brakes are shot!" yelled curtis as the two boys screamed. The batmobile slammed into the sentinel, as if in slowmotion. Before the plutonium feul of the car exploded a figure in a dark coat and sunglasses came flying through the flames plucking up the two boys and curtis. The explosion of the batmobile destroyed the sentinell and everything within a two mile radius. Mike was unable to see anything as they flew at super sonic speed away from the explosion. "Holy mother fuk! Slow down Johnny Mneumonic!" yelled bishop as he hung on to Keanu's coat tails. After about two minutes they finally set foot on ground. Bishop immediately kissing the ground as they landed. "Thank god for land!" he gasped. "I think I'm gonna throw up!" Mike said as he stumbled away. "Nice flying, just like in the old days" Curtis said. "Thank you Morpheus-oops!" Keannu replied. "D.amnit Keanu! Thanks for blowing my cover!" "Morpheus, Keanu, who are you guys really!?" asked Tom as he went to help his friend Mike puking.
"It is time you all know the truth. Come with us if you want to live."
"So far, we were doing better without you."
Bishop tapped his armband and a rift in time opened. "This way."
Hesitantly, all followed through.
