The Megalith and Rebekah Catherine clashed chainsaw five times.  The Megalith and Chandra clashed chainsaws four times.  Rebekah Catherine and Niles clashed chainsaws twice.  Chandra and Niles clashed chainsaws once.

Rebekah Catherine said, “If the Teenage Girl Witch Killers and their Temple of Heroism is so fucking great, why did you travel backwards in time forever.  Why don’t you go away and return to the future where you belong?”

Rebekah Catherine and the Megalith clashed chainsaws five times.  The Megalith and Niles swung their chainsaws towards Chandra.  Chandra jumped over both chainsaws.  Chandra swung her chainsaw and was blocked by Niles chainsaw.  Chandra and the Megalith clashed chainsaws five times.  Rebekah Catherine and Niles clashed chainsaws five times.  Niles swung his chainsaw towards Rebekah Catherine and Chandra.  Both women dodged the blow.

Niles said, “Our travel backwards in time is the necessary first step in the destruction of the Metalshop Crime Cartel.  You are about to witness the beginning of the end of everything you ever held dear.”        

Chandra said, “Do me a favor and shut up.  I’m tired of your empty promises.  Why can’t you admit that you’re fucked up and incompetent.”

Chandra swung her chainsaw straight through Niles.  Chandra used her chainsaw to slice off both of Niles’ arms.  Niles screamed in pain as Chandra kept slamming her chainsaw blade into his body.  Even after Niles died, Chandra kept slamming the blade of her chainsaw into Niles Creagan.

Chandra looked at the Megalith and hissed, “Did your predictions of the future tell you that I was going to do that to your goddamn buddy?”

Chandra swung her chainsaw against the Megalith and he dodged the blow.  The Megalith clashed chainsaws against Rebekah Catherine seven times.  The Megalith clashed chainsaws against Chandra five times. 

The Megalith screamed, “You’re going to die for what you done!  Niles Creagan will keep returning from the dead over and over again.  Girl deaths are always irreversible.  Just you wait and see.  Niles Creagan will be avenged.”

The Megalith and Chandra clashed chainsaws ten times.  The Megalith and Rebekah Catherine clashed chainsaws ten times.  The Megalith and Chandra clashed chainsaws seven times.

Rebekah Catherine said, “Yeah, just keep saying that.  Someday you might actually start believing it too.”

The Megalith and Rebekah Catherine clashed chainsaws eight times.  The Megalith and Chandra clashed chainsaws five times.  The Megalith and Rebekah Catherine clashed chainsaws nine times.

Chandra said with a flippant smile on her face, “Hey Mister Megalith, do you want to go on a date with me.  We can have dinner in an expensive gourmet restaurant.  We can have sexual intercourse in a parked car.  You could show me where the Teenage Girl Witch Killer’s Temple of Heroism is going to be built.  Then I could build a Metalshop Crime Cartel building on that site instead.  Wouldn’t that be exciting.  I simply can’t wait.”

Chandra plunged her chainsaw straight through the Megalith.  Rebekah Catherine plunged her chainsaw straight through the Megalith.  Rebekah Catherine sliced off the Megalith’s legs with her chainsaw.  Chandra sliced off the Megalith’s arms with her chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine decapitated the Megalith with her chainsaw.  Both Chandra and Rebekah Catherine kept slamming their chainsaws into the Megalith.  It didn’t matter that the Megalith was dead.  The two women wouldn’t stop attacking the Megalith’s dead body with their chainsaws.  Rebekah Catherine and Chandra tossed their chainsaws against the Megalith’s dead body.  Rebekah Catherine kicked the Megalith’s dead body several times with exaggerated outrage.  Tears of rage was streaming down Rebekah Catherine’s face.

Rebekah Catherine said to the Megalith’s dead body, “Never underestimate the power of a woman!”

Rebekah Catherine and Chandra walked side by side out of the hidden room towards the alter room of the basement.

Deborah Stanley’s telepathic message to Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior was surprisingly successful.  Alison’s doubts were quickly erased.  Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon, Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon, Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon and their army of Praying Mantis Demons attacked the Vegetable.  The giant sized Vegetable attacked the equally giant sized Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon, Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon, Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon and their army of Praying Mantis Demons.  Yes gentle reader, it was a scene straight out of the Godzilla films.  The Praying Mantis Demons killed the Vegetable when they pulled the creature out of the ground.  The Vegetable murdered all of the Praying Mantis Demons when it either ate or mortally wounded all of them.  The dead body of Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon fell on top of his mansion and destroyed it forever.  The S.A.M.E. racist bigots who wasn’t killed or escaped ended up getting arrested.  In the end, only the Metalshop Crime Cartel was left.

blocked five more blows from the Megalith’s chainsaw.  Niles swung his chainsaw and was blocked by Chandra’s chainsaw.  Chandra swung her chainsaw and was blocked by the Megalith’s chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw and was blocked by Niles’ chainsaw. 

Rebekah Catherine faced the Megalith and said, “You really know how to show a girl a good time.  We should go out on dates like this more often.”

The Megalith swung his chainsaw and was blocked by Rebekah Catherine’s chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw and the Megalith dodged the blow.

The Megalith hissed, “Go ahead and act flippant.  Every single teenage girl employed by the Metalshop is going to die.  I’ve already seen the future and it doesn’t have any women in it.”

The Megalith swung his chainsaw and Rebekah Catherine dodged the blow.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw and the Megalith blocked the blow with his chainsaw.  The Megalith swung his chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine dodged the blow and Chandra blocked the blow with her chainsaw. 

Chandra leaned against the wall and discovered a hidden doorway.  She entered the hidden doorway to discover a hidden room inside a hidden room.  She discovered the Actual Gene Gannon, Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon, Christine Marie Gannon and Julie Ruin. 

Chandra asked, “What the fuck is going on here?”

Actual Gene Gannon said, “Phoney Gene Gannon, Phoney Carolyn Johnns Gannon, Chistopher Gannon and Simon Peter Gannon are Praying Mantis Demons pretending to be human.  Hurry and disconnect us from the machine.  It’s the only way you could weaken and destroy Christopher Gannon.”

Chandra said, “Hold on a second, Christopher Gannon was supposed to be a girl.”

Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “Time is running out.  Rescue us now and ask questions later.”

Christine Marie said, “Thank Goddess you rescued me.  I thought I’d be stuck here forever.”

Chandra said, “Hold on a second, I’m still trying to figure this out.  You’re telling me that Christopher Gannon was supposed to be a girl?  That explains why Gene Gannon never wanted Christopher to be a cattle rancher.  Swimming have always been much more of a girlish activity.  Oh Goddess, I’m so stupid and thick.  I should’ve realized that.”

Julie said, “You could flog yourself later.  Just rescue me damn it!”

Chandra released the bonds that held Actual Gene Gannon, Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon, Christine Gannon and Julie Ruin in captivity.  Actual Gene Gannon raced towards the Megalith in the next room and was torn apart by his chainsaw attack.  Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon raced towards the Megalith in the next room and was torn apart by his chainsaw attack.  Chandra faced Christine Marie and Julie.

Chandra said, “I want the two of you to stay here.”

Christine Marie said, “The Hell I will.  That jackass murdered my mother and father.”

Julie said, “The Megalith must die for what he did to Mom and Dad.”

Chandra said, “The Megalith will pay for his crimes.  But I can’t protect you both and fight against the Megalith.  You both must stay here where’s it’s safe.”

Christine Marie said, “I don’t like it, but I’ll do it.”

Julie said, “I’ll do it, but I won’t like it.”

Chandra offered a nod of encouragement before she entered the next room.  She swung her chainsaw against the Meglith.  The Megalith blocked the blow with his chainsaw.

What happened next was unexpected and quick.  Phoney Gene Gannon, Phoney Carolyn Johnns Gannon and Christopher Gannon was fighting against Alison Taylor.  It was three against one.  One moment, all three of the opponents were human beings.  The next moment, they have become Praying Mantis Demons.  It took Alison a few minutes to recover from the shock of what she saw.

Alison said, “Holy shit, I should’ve known that all three of you were frauds.  How could I have missed that.”

Phoney Praying Mantis Gene said, “It makes do difference.  The Seattle Association for Minority Eradication will still prevail.  We must rescue white Anglo-Saxon Protestants from deformed racial minorities.”

Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn said, “You are a traitor against everything we ever believed in.  You must die now!”

Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher said, “It no longer makes any difference if I’m human or insect.  The end result will still be the same.  The human race will submit before S.A.M.E.!”

Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior quickly assessed the situation.  The Metalshop girls were winning the battle by a unpredictable landslide.  Or rather, Alison considered it a landslide because she was convinced that she was going to be on the losing end of the battle.  Alison wasn’t alone in the alter room battle.  There wasn’t any casualties on her side of the battle.  Police Officer Frida Deck, Police Officer Karla Shepherd, Police Officer Zinnie Lang, Tracy Meijer Telegramatation, Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett, Atilla Hassel, Tasha Allgood Tilberg, Vanessa Wheel,  Nehko-Chan Fugiyama, her biologicdaughter Mitchie Nakatani,her step-daughter Kyasi Tea, Christine Sixteen, Phyllis Gold, Ning Yuen Po Chu, Rachel Shwartz, Denise Gerda, Corissa Shwartz, Kristina Ruth Randall, Misty Supple, Lori Supple, Rachel Leah Mattes, Eva Petrik, Halle Miller, Jacqueline Makowski, Alexandria Miller, Samantha Petras,  Donna Petras and a hundred male cattle ranchers were gathered in the pagan worship alter room.  There were legally dead S.A.M.E. racist thugs scattered around the hidden basement pagan worship alter room. 

Phoney Praying mantis Christopher continued, “Your friend Rebekah Catherine can handle the chainsaw with talent and ease.  Not only does your friend have a severe looking hairstyle, but she’s also scary acting.  What’s the matter, were there chainsaw fighting lessons in the Seattle Exclusive School for Girls and the Seattle Theologic Institute?”

Alison replied, “I’m glad you have a telepathic link to the Megalith.  You will feel every second of the Megalith’s demise.  I want you to experience every second of your failures as a human being.  Wait, you were never human to begin with.  Sorry, I’m wrong.  I won’t confuse you for a human being anymore.”

Alison Taylor chanted a few words in Latin under her breath.  She pulled out a magic sword from out of thin air.  She rushed against Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon, Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon and Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon in attack formation.  Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon dodged Alison’s sword attack.  Alison struck Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon with her magic sword instead.

Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon screamed out, “No, you will pay for what you’ve done.  Nobody strikes me with a damaging wound and gets away with it.”

Alison replied, “I don’t understand why I shouldn’t kill you off.  S.A.M.E. has annihilated  any hopes of surviving the challenge made by the Metalshop girls.  The Age of Aquarius scheme for world domination mostly involves beating up every single girl you ever came into contact with.  I’m offended by your sexism.”

Alison struck Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon with her magic sword.  Alison dodged a blow thrown by Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon before striking the insect creature with her magic sword.

Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon said, “I don’t know why you bother to attack me in the first place.  The entire Metalshop crime cartel will be extinct within forty-two years.  All of the Metalshop girls including yourself will be dead within forty-two years.  All the Metalshop men will become low ranking openly gay slaves of S.A.M.E. with insulting responsibilities.  Nature has a way of readdressing destructive imbalances struck against it by racial minorities and other useless items of trash.”

Alison said, “Does anybody else employed by S.A.M.E. are aware that you’re a goddamn insect. Adolf Hitler wasn’t talking about deformed insect people when he wanted the final solution to the Jewish and racial minority problem.”  

Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher said, “I’m an honorary Aryan.”

Alison replied, “There’s no such thing as an honorary Aryan.  An honorary Aryan is a contradiction of terms.”

Alison struck Phoney Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon with her magic sword.  She swung her magic sword towards Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon.  She missed and struck Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon instead.  She struck Phoney Praying Mantis Gene Gannon five more times.  Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon knocked Alison with her insect leg.  Alison slowly scrambled to her feet.

Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “My son is acting like a broken doll again.”

Alison said, “What the fuck are you talking about.  That statement makes no sense.”

Alison drew blood as she struck Phoney Praying Mantis Carolyn Johnns Gannon with her magic sword.

The Vegetable have rapidly grown to giant size.  The human eating plant with human level artificial intelligence no longer cared who it ate.  Anything human now ranked as a target.  Most of the humans eaten by the Vegetable were either employed by Christopher Gannon or employed by Mark Nyler.  Anybody allied with the Metalshop was skillfully able to avoid the Vegetable.  Dodging the Vegetable have become difficult however.  Anything that was horticulture based have become a lethal deathtrap---From a blade of grass to a tulip.  Blades of grass in particular have become about as sharp as a metal knife.  The battle outside the Gannon family residence became messy and chaotic.  Cowboy vampires and cowboy werewolves employed by Mark Nyler were attacking S.A.M.E. racist thugs employed by Christopher Gannon.  Racist thugs employed by Christopher Gannon were attacking cowboy vampires and cowboy werewolves employed by Mark Nyler.  Anybody employed by the Metalshop were stuck in the middle and violently opposed to both sides.  Both Christopher Gannon and Mark Nyler were determined to destroy the Metalshop forever.  That both sides were killing each other off made it easier for the Metalshop to prevail.  However, here were frequent moments when Deborah wished the Vegetable was still mute. 

To say that they were over their heads was an understatement.  However, they were not prepared to give up though.  Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Jerusalem Heilman, Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,sixty male cattle ranchers, Richard Conlon, Nathan Shores, Josephine Bearcloud-in-sky, sixty Navaho Indian biker thugs,  F.B.I. agent Happy Yakimoto,F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree,F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wifeF.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta, corrupt FBI agents and corrupt Texas police officers engaged in battle.  Deborah, Susan and Zoe dodged the Vegetable’s leaf and thorn covered branch as it tried to wrap itself around their legs.  Deborah, Susan and Zoe were barely able to outrace the Vegetable’s leaf and thorn covered branch as it picked up speed.  There were more than three hundred leaf and thorn covered branches waving around the place.  A few of the leaf and thorn covered branches were smashing into the Gannon family mansion.

Susan asked, “What’s the easiest way to destroy a supernatural human eating plant?”

The Vegetable roared, “You can’t destroy me.  Animals life forms will no longer contaminate Earth.  It’s time for plants to revolt against animal abuses.”

Deborah said, “I would like to beat up the dummy who placed a human brain into the flower of a plant.  That’s just plain retarded.  There’s going to be hell to pay.”

Zoe said, “Don’t quote me on this, but I believe the dummy responsible for creating the Vegetable is already dead.  He was needlessly murdered by his own ally.”

Deborah said, “Well thank Goddess for small miracles.”  Deborah faced Jerusalem with a frustrated expression.  The African-American cowboy shrugged his shoulders in return.  Deborah asked, “This talking plant is pissing me off.  Do you know how to murder this stupid looking thing?”

Jerusalem faced Deborah and said, “I don’t know how to murder the Vegetable.  I was hoping that you would know.”

Dean said, “Maybe you should rip the Vegetable out of the soil and tear it up into tiny pieces.”

Deborah said, “Thanks a lot.  Do you know how to rip something that’s one mile tall out of the ground?”

Dean said, “I never said it was going to be easy.”

Josephine said, “Maybe one of us could find a way to grow to giant size.”

Deborah faced Josephine and said, “You better shut up before I start hitting you.”

Richard faced Deborah and Josephine and said, “Calm down ladies, save the anger for the enemy.”

Deborah said, “Shut up Richard, you’re worse than your girlfriend.”

Richard faced Deborah and said, “You are my girlfriend.”

Deborah faced Richard and said, “Not anymore asshole, I refuse to stand in the way of Josephine’s happiness.”

Nathan faced Deborah, Richard and Josephine and said, “I’m sorry I’m messing up a perfect menage-a-tois, but we’re in serious trouble.  We got too many enemies trying to murder us.”

A leaf and thorn covered branch slammed towards the group and missed.  It grabbed a werewolf cowboy instead.  Andrew murdered two vampire cowboys and five racist thugs.  He raced towards the group.

Andrew asked, “Did I miss anything important?”

Nathan said, “Deborah and Josephine were about to fight against each other in their underwear and covered with oil.”

Deborah said, “Shut up Nathan.  I thought you were supposed to be dating Zoe.”

Dean raced towards the group.  He said, “I’ve heard that Christopher Gannon and his parents have become Praying Mantis Demons.  There’s about fifty Praying Mantis Demons starting to grow to giant size.”

Jerusalem said, “Oh great, this is starting to turn into a Godzilla movie.”

Deborah said, “That’s a great idea.  We could provoke Praying Mantis Christopher Gannon and his army of Praying Mantis Demons against the Vegetable.  We should provoke the giant size monsters to kill each other off.”

Zoe said, “I’m going to check on the others.  They look like they might need help.”

Susan said, “Be careful Zoe, don’t take any unnecessary chances.  Come back to us safely.”

Zoe said, “You know me better than anybody else.  Caution and restraint is my middle name.”

Susan said, “Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of.”

Deborah said, “Hey Zoe, take Nathan with you.  It looks like you’re going to need backup out there.”

Nathan faced Zoe and said, “I’m willing to come along if you want me to.”

Zoe faced Nathan and said, “Yeah, I’m going to need assistance out there.”

Zoe and Nathan lovingly clasped their hands together as they raced towards the eastern half of the battlefield.  They dodged homicidal blades of grass, homicidal flowers, leaf and thorn covered branches by the barest of margins.  Zoe killed five racist S.A.M.E. thugs.  Nathan killed two cowboy werewolves, nine cowboy vampires and one racist thug.   Zoe and Nathan finally reached Barry Hodgson, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,  F.B.I. agent Happy Yakimoto,F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree,F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wifeF.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta. 

Zoe asked, “I was wondering if you people need any assistance.”

Barry said, “Assistance is always appreciated.  Thanks for helping us out.  I can’t decide if Mark Nyler is being more needlessly persistent than Christopher Gannon.  Both sides are being rather obnoxious.”

Talbert said, “I wish I could bring some of these assholes alive for questioning.  It’s hard for me to arrest anybody with the Metalshop girls around.  Just because I have a gun for self-defense doesn’t mean I should use it all the time.”

Zoe asked, “How would you explain the absurdities to your superior officers?”

Talbert said, “It’s hard to talk about the supernatural if nobody believes it exists.  I wish the Metalshop girls dealt with problems that actually made sense.”

Brian said, “You don’t need to hound the Metalshop girls everywhere they go.  You don’t need to bother with freaky unnatural occurrences if you don’t believe in it.  There’s enough crimes in the United States for everybody.”

Happy said, “The Metalshop is filled with teenage girls who are drunk, stoned, obsessed with excessive promiscuity and originate from broken homes.  Most of the Metalshop girls have juvenile delinquency problems.  United States society will fall apart if the Metalshop girls are allowed to fearlessly do whatever they want.”

Tony said, “It’s good to know that you have a positive opinion of the Metalshop.”

Happy faced Tony and said, “Shut up asshole, speak when you’re spoken to.”

Mitzie said, “Good grief Zoe, somebody out there is acting like they know you.”

Zoe faced Mitzi and replied, “Of course these sexist perverts are acting like they know me.  I’m a hot sexy girl with shiny lipstick.  Those male perverts want to have sex with me.”

Lydia faced Zoe and said, “I think you should stop worshiping yourself long enough to properly assess the situation. Somebody out there hates you more than usual.”

Zoe said, “Oh shit, Larry Vatican is running straight for us.”

Larry Vatican approached the group and grabbed Zoe by the throat.  Nathan tried to rescue Zoe, but he was brushed aside by a simple stroke of an arm. 

Larry said, “We broke up ten years ago and already you have replaced me.”

Zoe punched Larry in the stomach and he doubled over in pain.  Zoe stood over Larry both arrogant and proud.

Zoe said, “Ten years is a long time for a girl to wait.  This is especially true if the asshole is truly guilty of the crimes he was arrested for.  At any rate, you never treated me with respect.  Everything I did was only viewed through the lense of a girl who was weird and self-destructing.”

Larry punched Zoe in the face.  He replied, “You are weird and self-destructing.  My only crime was wanting to be there when the Metalshop dream falls apart forty-two years from now.  I’ve seen the future and the Metalshop isn’t going to be a part of it.  Anybody associated with the Metalshop is doomed.  Zoe Stanley only has forty-two years left to live.  You can’t escape your tragic doom.”

Zoe faced Larry and hissed, “In that case, go to Hell and wait for my arrival.”

Zoe chanted something in Latin under her breath.  Larry Vatican spontaneously burst into flames.  He ran towards the ruined remains of the Gannon family residence.  Larry Vatican’s survival wasn’t expected.

Nathan said, “You should’ve let me murder Larry Vatican.”

Talbert said, “You should’ve let me place Larry Vatican under arrest.”

Zoe said, “It would be a mistake for me to indulge in both options.  Killing Larry Vatican was something that I alone need to do.  Anyway, what’s next on our agenda.  Oh yeah, Mark Nyler, Stuart Kemmer and Doctor Jarrel is still running loose out there.  We certainly need to clear up those loose end soon.”

Talbert replied, “Oh yes, maybe you should take away another person’s life.  Heaven forbid the enemies of the Metalshop should ever be allowed to escape without a scratch.”

******

Stuart Kemmer was prepared to escape from the Gannon ranch without anybody noticing.  That was difficult when United States Armed Forces helicopters zoomed towards the Gannon Ranch and attacked the giant size Vegitable.  The giant sized Vegetable wasn’t the only one under attack by allies of the Metalshop Crime Cartel.  Racist thugs working for Christopher Gannon, racist cowboy vampires and racist cowboy werewolves working for Mark Nyler were attacked by the United States Armed Forces too.  Stuart Kemmer almost reached his jeep, before he was stopped by Mark Nyler.  Mark Nyler smiled when he realized who he has cornered.

Mark asked, “Are you the asshole who destroyed my mansion.”

Stuart said, “I’m one of the men who approved the decision.  Actually, it’s always a good idea to take out the trash.”

Mark replied, “Good work jackass, you have made me hate you even more than usual.  It’s my understanding that Reinhold Dragovic have been murdered by a girl.  That’s a shame.  I wanted to kill that dummy myself.”

Stuart said, “We should challenge ourselves to a dual.  One the count of tree, we pull out our guns from our holsters.  The lucky man gets to live.  The unlucky man gets to die.  It’s about as simple as that.”

Mark said, “I agree to your terms.”  Stuart Kemmer and Mark Nyler stood a few feet away from each other.  After a few minutes of silence, Mark continued, “One.  Two.  Three.”

Mark and Stuart pulled out their guns and fired simultaneous.  Mark and Stuart were killed by each others bullets simultaneous.  Both men fell to the ground and died simultaneous.  A bomb from an United States Armed Forces   helicopter landed on Stuart Kemmer’s jeep and blew it into tiny fragments.   

******

Doctor Malcom Jarrel was in the backseat.  Kira Foxtrot was in the passenger side of the front seat.  Dwight the Cowboy Demon was driving the car.  It roared away from the Gannon Ranch in a massive cloud of dust.  It drove down the street and towards safety without anybody noticing.

Doctor Jarrel said, “I can’t believe that we actually got away with this.”

Dwight said, “Don’t get too optimistic.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation could still track us down.  We won’t be truly safe until we return to Seattle, Washington.”

Kira said with a wide smile, “Lead on Dwight and Doctor Jarrel and myself shall follow.”

Dwight said, “There’s a white supremacy safe house only a few miles away from here.  We’ll be there by morning.”

******

The Megalith and Niles Creagan was evenly matched against Rebekah Catherine Wheel and Chandra Mortigan-Goth.  They were locked in battle in a hidden room in the secret basement of the Gannon Family residence.  The Megalith swung his chainsaw.  He missed Rebekah Catherine and he struck the wall five times.  Each time the Megalith struck the wall was angrier than the previous attack.  Niles swung his chainsaw which Rebekah Catherine and Chandra skillfully jumped over.  Chandra swung her chainsaw and clashed against the Megalith’s chainsaw.  Chandra swung again and the Megalith blocked her again with his chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw and was blocked by Niles.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw against Niles’ chainsaw five times.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw against the Megalith’s chainsaw three times. 

The Megalith said, “Why are you fighting me.  You already seen the future and you’re not in it.  You will never prevent misogynist warriors of the Teenage Girl Witch Killers from building the Temple of Heroism.  Once the Temple of Heroism is built, no women will ever be able to tear it down.  Forty-two years from now, you will die and you’ll never return.  The Teenage Girl Witch Killers will be able to operate from the Temple of Heroism without the presence of women.  I have traveled backwards in time and I know where the Temple of Heroism will be built.  I’ve bathed in the splendor of the men’s only Temple of Heroism and it’s never ending war against femininity.”

CHAPTER TWENTY

GONE

Anton St. Dagon Dragovic, Ute Dragovic and Karl Tollhouse was trying to escape justice.  However, their escape was blocked by Anton’s biologic daughter Tatiana Dragovic.  Tatiana was supported and reinforced by Poetic Justice, Psychedelic Justice and Angela Heilman.  All four teenage girls was deliberately stood in front of the escape hatch.

Tatiana faced her biologic father and said, “Please don’t leave us yet Daddy, we were starting to enjoy quality time.”

Anton faced his daughter and said, “I was there when you were born.  I was there when you first took your baby steps.  I was there when you first learned to speak.  I was there when you wore your first gym class uniform.  It would be a shame to commit infanticide.  Being forced to murder my own daughter is never pleasant.  However, I’m already prepared for life of comfort without my daughter.”

Tatiana said, ‘I won’t back away from my crusade against you if that’s what you’re hinting at.”

Tollhouse said, “We’re wasting time Anton.  Let’s get out of here.”

Anton said, “My daughter Tatiana is too much of a loose end.  She’ll be too much of a detriment of she isn’t done away with right now.”

Tollhouse said, “Let’s deal with your daughter later when we have a better chance for success..”

Anton said, “What are we delaying our battle against the Metalshop for?  We’re going to run out of time sooner or later.  I’m impatient for success.  You should be impatient for success as well.”

Tollhouse said, “I’m sorry, but somebody needs to be practical around here.”

Ute pointed at Angela and said, “You’re going to escape the building without hurting an African-American lady?  Good Lord, what is wrong with the two of you?”

Angela said, “It’s good to know that blockheads like you finally discovered my racial identity.”

Poetic faced Angela and said, “Maybe your name wasn’t African enough sounding.”

Angela faced Poetic and said, “What are you talking about?  I met plenty of African-American girls named Angela.”

Anton kicked Tatiana to the ground.  Anton kicked Poetic to the ground.  Ute kicked Psychedelic and Angela to the ground with the same blow.  Tatiana stood up and kicked Tollhouse to the ground.  Ute kicked Tatiana to the ground.  Tollhouse stood up.  Angela stood up.  Angela looked at Ute and she smiled.  Ute looked at Angela and he smiled.   Ute kicked Angela to the ground.  Tatiana stood up and Ute kicked her to the floor.  Poetic and Psychedelic stood up.  Ute kicked Poetic to the floor.  Anton kicked Psychedelic to the floor. 

Tatiana stood up.  Anton grabbed his daughter’s left arm and he punched her in the stomach.  He punched her five more times before kicking her to the floor.  Angela stood up.  She kicked Anton and Ute to the floor with the same blow.  Tollhouse tried to kicked Angela, but she blocked his blow.  Poetic stood up.  Tollhouse kicked her to the floor.  Tollhouse tried to kick Angela, but she blocked his blow.  Psychedelic stood up.  Tollhouse kicked her to the floor.  Tollhouse tried to kick Angela, but she blocked his blow.  Tatiana stood up.  Tollhouse kicked her to the floor.  Tollhouse tried to kick Angela to the floor, but she blocked his blow.  Anton stood up and kicked Angela to the floor.  Anton picked up Angela and tossed the teenage African-American girl against the wall.  Anton picked up Angela and punched her to the floor.  Anton picked up Angela and kicked her to the floor.

Tatiana faced her father and asked, “For goddess sake, you’re my father.  Don’t you have any respect for your own flesh and blood.”

Anton faced his daughter and said, “There was a man.  He traveled backwards in time.  He changed history every time he raped and killed a girl.  Eventually, he became addicted to rape and sexual assault as a method of changing history.  He changed history so much, that he ended up raping and killing his own biologic mother when she was a teenager.  Now he’s a prisoner inside his time travel machine.  If he dared to exit his time travel machine, both himself and his time machine will be erased from existence.  There’s a moral lesson in my story.  Men who are destined to become death row inmates are never allowed to escape their tragic destinies.”   

Anton punched his daughter Tatiana in the face.  Tatiana fell backwards as her father advanced with intent to murder.  Tatiana scrambled to her feet and kicked her father with a roundhouse kick.  Anton blocked his daughter’s second attempt to kick him.  With his daughter’s left foot grasped in both hands, Anton flung Tatiana to the floor.  Anton kicked Tatiana before Angela punched him in the face.

Angela said, “I’m sick and tired of always getting beaten up.  I get it.  You hate women.  Give it a rest already.”

Tatiana said, “Thanks for saving me.”

Angela said, “No problem, you would’ve done the same for me.”

Anton hissed, “You dare you say that!  I never felt so insulted.”

Psychedelic replied, “Oh shut up Anton, we’re sick and tired of your non-stop racist slurs.  Your hostility ends now.”

Anton faced Poetic and Psychedelic and said, “I’ve met your father plenty of times.  Billy Justice is humiliated that both of his daughters supports racial minorities.  What is wrong with the two of you girls?  You want to be friends with racial mistakes for the rest of your life?  The two of you girls are born white Anglo-Saxon Protestant.  It’s time for you two girls to be proud of your superior racial heritage.”

Poetic kicked Anton to the floor.  Poetic kicked Ute and Tollhouse to the floor with the same kick.  Anton climbed to his feet only to be punched to the floor. 

Poetic said, “My father is the only one who is the embarrassment.”

Anton stood up.  He punched Poetic to the floor.  He kicked Angela to the floor.  He punched Psychedelic to the floor.  He wrapped both of his hands around Tatiana’s throat in a strangulation grip. 

Anton hissed, “I brought you into the world.  I could easily take you out as well.  Don’t think I wouldn’t do it.  You have no idea how many innocent racial minorities I’ve killed.  Caucasian skin color must remain pure.”

Angela slowly stood up.  She pulled out a hidden knife that was strapped to her left ankle.  Psychedelic and Poetic stood up.  Tollhouse and Ute stood up.  Angela stabbed Anton in the back.  Angela kept stabbing Anton over and over again until he fell backwards in a puddle of blood. 

Tollhouse grabbed Tatiana and hissed, “Heal your father immediately.  I know you have the capacity.”

Angela said, “Hold on a second, if Tatiana is Anton’s daughter, then he should have a supernatural healing factor.”

Anton gasped out in pain, “Tatiana’s supernatural healing factor is derived only from Judith Din Eiden.  My supernatural talents is derived only from President Jefferson Davis and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler.”

Tatiana stabbed her father five more times before kicking him in the face.  Tollhouse lunged in battle against Tatiana.  The teenage girl stabbed Tollhouse three times. 

Ute kicked Poetic and Angela with the same blow.  Ute kicked Psychedelic with the same expression of hostility.  Tatiana stabbed Ute three times. 

Anton sputtered blood as he said, “Why would you do such a thing.  I’m your father.”

Tatiana said, “Correction, you used to be my father.”

Poetic, Psycedelic and Angela stood up.

Angela said, “It’s over asshole, your dreams of unproductive hostility has finally ended.  It’s time to call it a day.”

Poetic said, “Thank Goddess for blessed miracles.  I never thought that asshole would ever die.”

Psychedelic said, “There’s something wrong.  It’s much too simple.”

Tatiana said, “Who cares if it’s too simple, my father is dying.  That’s the only thing that truly matters.”

Tollhouse sputtered blood as he said, “Hey young ladies, look behind you.”

Poetic said, “That stupid trick never works.”

Ute sputtered blood as he said, “You really should look behind you.”

Tatiana, Poetic, Psychedelic and Angela turned around to see a flying robot moving towards them.  The flying robot had chainsaw arms and circular chainsaw feet.  The robot couldn’t speak and could only communicate by beeping.  Tatiana turned around to face her father again.

Tatiana said, “Oh Goddess, you have to be kidding me.  Only an idiot would come up with something like that.”

Anton sputtered blood as he said, “Maybe I’m easy to murder, but you must destroy or convert the robot first.  I’m challenging your ideology.  Are you heterosexual enough to destroy or convert the robot forever?”    

Angela asked, “Why would I want this useless pile of tin to work for the Metalshop?  Since conversion is out of the question, I guess we must destroy the robot.”

Poetic said, “Don’t be so hasty, the robot does have potential as a lumberjack.”

Psychedelic faced her sister Poetic and said, “Shut up, you’re not helping.”

Tatiana faced her father and asked, “How many Flying Chainsaw Robots have you built.”

Anton sputtered blood as he said, “This is the first and only prototype.  Right now would be a fantastic opportunity to run away like a useless coward.  I’m not expecting you to survive a battle against the Flying Chainsaw Robot.”

Anton St. Dagon Dragovic, Ute Dragovic and Karl Tollhouse quietly died from multiple knife wounds.  The Flying Chainsaw Robot slowly advanced towards Tatiana Dragovic, Poetic Justice, Psychedelic Justice and Angela Heilman.  The Flying Chainsaw Robot slowly advanced towards Tatiana.  It quickly pressed itself as close to the teenage girl as possible without crushing her.  Her left hand held back the left chainsaw arm.  Her right hand held back the right chainsaw arm.  Both of the robot’s circular saw legs dug itself into the wall and advanced towards Tatiana’s vagina.  Angela attacked the Flying Chainsaw Robot from behind and tried to damage the machine’s flying hydraulics.  Angela wasn’t having much luck with her task.

Tatiana hissed, “Get this sickening pervert contraption away from me.”

Angela replied, “I’m trying to knock this thing out of commission.”

Tatiana hissed, “Try harder goddamn it.  I’m about to get cut apart into little pieces.”

Angela replied, “Some people might consider that an improvement.”

Tatiana said, “Your priorities are askew.  Get rid of this thing now before you insult me.”

It was getting harder for Tatiana to hold back the Flying Chainsaw Robot’s left chainsaw arm.  Angela managed to pull the Flying Chainsaw Robot away from Tatiana and tossed it across the room.  The Flying Chainsaw Robot halted itself before it could crash against the wall.  Poetic picked up a chair and tried to strike the Flying Chainsaw Robot with it.  The Flying Chainsaw Robot destroyed the chair with both chainsaw arms.

Psychedelic said, “I wish that thing could talk and have a conversation with us.”

Tatiana said, “I’m more interested in finding a way to destroy that thing.”

Poetic grabbed the Flying Chainsaw Robot from behind.  She ran really fast while she continued to hold the robot from behind.  Her breasts were pressed against the back end of the robot while both of it’s circular saw legs tried to attack Poetic’s legs.  She slammed the Flying Chainsaw Robot against the wall.  Both of it’s chainsaw arms got stuck into the wall.  Tatiana, Angela and Psychedelic found metal pipes lying around the floor and attacked the circular saw legs.  Both circular saw legs eventually fell off onto the floor.  Smoke was pouring out of the robot as it eventually started to malfunction.  The Flying Chainsaw Robot was dead a few seconds later.

Poetic said, “So much for sophisticated technology.”

Tatiana said, “I didn’t want to murder my biologic father.  However, he never gave me a choice.”

Angela said, “I know this criminal investigation hasn’t been easy for you.  You had no choice in the matter.”

The Megalith and Niles Creagan was evenly matched against Rebekah Catherine Wheel and Chandra Mortigan-Goth.  They were locked in battle in a hidden room in the secret basement of the Gannon Family residence. 

Chandra said, “The Megalith kept talking as if he knew me.  I’m I missing anything?”

Rebekah Catherine said, “The Megalith was a serial rape offender from the year year 200,000,000,456,054.  His method of operation is the rape and kill enough girls to arrange their corpses in the shape of a pentagram. A massive citadel that’s mostly underground is placed in the middle of this massive pentagram carved in the desert sand.  That’s supposed to lead towards a radioactive wasteland paradise.”

Chandra said, “It’s nice to know that the Megalith is well adjusted.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “I’ve heard rumors that the Megalith acquired a fan club of admirers.  The Megalith fan club resurrected their hero for a rematch against me.  It’s my understand that the Megalith is more popular than me.”

Chandra asked, “What’s so special about the Megalith?”

Rebekah Catherine replied, “How should I know?  The Megalith Fan Club kept insisting that the Megalith’s death was the biggest insult ever made.  I never realized the Megalith Fan club also happened to be the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.”

Chandra replied, “You learn something new everyday.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “This is a brand new piece of information that I could live without.”

Megalith said, “It’s not too late to make amends for my absence.  I shall build a brand new citadel.  Brand new girls will be raped and killed to decorate the Pentagram built around my citadel.  Nuclear bombs shall rain from the sky.  The United States of America shall once again be a third world toilet worse than Afghanistan.”

Rebekah Catherine faced the Megalith and said, “Yeah, I already said that asshole.  Try to pay attention.”

Niles said, “And so we shall meet again Chandra.  Long time, no see. You never cease to be a nuisance young lady.  How many times have we danced.  Was it twenty times or was it sixty.  You always were my favorite enemy.  Ah yes, you’re even sexier than ever.  I could always get lost in Chandra’s seductive beauty.”

Chandra said, “I’m sorry, but I still don’t know who the fucking hell you are.”   

Megaith faced Chandra and roared, “How dare you say such a thing!  You and I are well established enemies!  You and I are fated to battle each other for all eternity!  The cosmos itself will die before we dance one last time!”

Megalith picked up three chainsaws.  He tossed a chainsaw towards Rebekah Catherine.  The Megalith tossed a chainsaw towards Chandra.  He kept the third chainsaw and turned it on.  Rebekah Catherine picked up her chainsaw and turned it on.  Chandra picked up her chainsaw and turned it on.  Niles picked up his chainsaw and turned it on.

The Megalith swung his chainsaw at Rebekah Catherine and she dodged the blow.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw and it clashed against the Megalith’s chainsaw.  Chandra swung her chainsaw at the Megalith and it clashed against Niles’ chainsaw.  Niles swung his chainsaw and Rebekah Catherine blocked the blow with her chainsaw.  Niles swung his chainsaw.  Chandra blocked his blow with her chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw.  The Megalith and Niles blocked her blow with their chainsaws. 

Rebekah Catherine said, “Oh wow, I like your sense of style.  I never met anybody who liked chainsaws that much.”

The Megalith swung his chainsaw and Rebekah Catherine blocked the blow with her chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine swung her chainsaw.  Both the Megalith and Niles blocked her blow with their chainsaws. 

Chandra faced Rebekah Catherine and said, “Don’t get too excited.  Anybody this interested in chainsaws is unbalanced.  We need to end this fight right now.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “It’s time for us to wake him up.”  Rebekah Catherine and Chandra picked up two lead pipes from the floor.  Rebekah Catherine continued, “We shall proceed when I count to three.  One.  Two.  Three.”

Rebekah Catherine slammed her lead pipe into the first high technology futuristic coffin.  Chandra slammed her lead pipe into the second high technology futuristic coffin.  The glass that covered half of the coffin broke and the life support systems were destroyed.  Rebekah Catherine prematurely pulled out the Megalith from his high technology futuristic coffin onto the floor.  Chandra prematurely pulled out Niles Creagan from his high technology futuristic coffin onto the floor.  Rebekah Catherine violently attacked the Megalith with her lead pipe.

Rebekah Catherine hissed, “Why won’t you fucking die already!  I got better things to do with my life!”

The Megalith suddenly stood up.  He grabbed Rebekah Catherine by the throat and held her several feet in the air.  He looked up at her with a hostile glare on his face.  He was once normal and socially appropriate looking.  His clothing was the latest in expensive snob fashion.  However, that ended forever when Rebekah Catherine set him on fire.  Now the Megalith is hideously disfigured and disgusting looking.  He only wore cheap inexpensive hospital pajamas.  He wore no shoes and his body was covered with sticky foamy slime. 

The Megalith hissed, “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for a rematch.  I’ve been waiting for payback for far too long.  Do you realize how difficult it is for me to exist like this.  I’m in physical and psychological pain for hours.  I can’t stand the sight of a desert thanks to you.”

Rebekah Catherine kicked the Megalith in the stomach.  When that didn’t work, she kicked him five more times even harder than before.  The Megalith doubled in pain.  He roughly dropped Rebekah Catherine to the floor with a loud thud as he fell backwards in pain.  Rebekah Catherine struck the Megalith with a lead pipe five more times.

Rebekah Catherine said, “You deserve to rot in hell.  Nobody rapes Alison and gets away with it.”

Rebekah Catherine tried to strike the Megalith with her lead pipe, but the Megalith blocked her blow.  The Megalith stood up and he picked up a chainsaw.  Rebekah Catherine dropped her lead pipe and she picked up a chainsaw.

Niles Creagan said, “It doesn’t matter if Alison Taylor and Susan Stanley were raped and left for dead in the desert.  It doesn’t matter if the Megalith is an unrepentant serial rape offender.  The Megalith is a member of the male gender.  That alone makes him better than both of you women combined.”

Chandra said, “Oh Goddess, I’m going to enjoy murdering you both more than usual.”         

The Megalith said, “I have traveled backwards in time from the year 200,000,000,456,054 towards 1968.  There’s a certain advantage about living in 1968 as opposed to living in the year 200,000,000,456,054.  For starters, I get to see my favorite television shows premiering for the first time ever.  I get to witness the political events that shall result in a thermal nuclear holocaust.  Hell, I might be the genuine cause for half of those tragic events that lead towards a thermal nuclear holocaust.  Even better, I shall discover that you two women are to blame for starting a thermal nuclear holocaust.  I get to see the human race curl up and die all over again from scratch.  The bottom line is that the alternate reality future that I originated from is gone forever.  I must recreate my version of the future with your help.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Screw you asshole, I’ll do no such thing.”

The Megalith hissed, “You fool, I’m not making a request!  I’m issuing you a demand!”

Billy Justice owned a oil tanker that was converted into a houseboat.  It was parked half a mile away from Harbor Island off the coast of Seattle, Washington.  It was a normal day for Billy Justice.  He started his day with breakfast.  Wagner played on the vinyl disk player.  He ate scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns with coffee and orange juice.  The expensive china plate the equally expensive silverware had the Nazi swastika emblazoned on it.  Billy Justice loved to eat breakfast on the deck of the former oil tanker turned into a houseboat vessel.  He loved the morning breeze blowing against him as he ate.  He loved watching the rising sun above the horizon turning the sky in a spectacular kaleidoscope of color.    

The day continued with an African-American businessman being dragged onto the former oil tanker turned into a houseboat.  Billy Justice tortured and ultimately killed the African-American businessman.  Not for anything he has done or have failed to perform, but for the color of his skin.  The dead body of The African -American businessman was covered in tar and smeared with feathers.  Then the corpse was hung by a noose from a lamp post in the business district of Seattle, Washington.  Back on the houseboat, Billy Justice lectured racist bigots employed by the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  Billy Justice lectured them about their war against racial minorities, Jews and anybody else who isn’t white Anglo-Saxon Protestant.  When Billy Justice was finished speaking, racist bigots applauded with joy.  The white supremacy rally on the houseboat was concluded with the Nazi salute and the words, “Heil Hitler” being shouted several times.

There was a small motorboat that was kept on the former oil tanker converted into a houseboat.  Billy Justice and his bodyguards walked into the boat.  The small motorboat was lowered to the Pacific Ocean.  The small motorboat worked it’s way past Eliot Bay towards Crow Island.  After docking at Crow Island, Billy Justice and his bodyguards walked towards Crow Island Prison.  The rain started to fall as Billy Justice walked closer towards the prison.  Billy was already prepared with an umbrella.   

Yes, Billy justice visited Crow Island Prison more than once.  However, Billy Justice was a smart man.  He was never arrested.  He never allowed himself to be arrested.  He was too smart to let the police take possession of anything that could possibly incriminate him.  Yes, Billy Justice always cleaning up his messes with professional ease frustrated the Seattle Metropolitan Police Department to no end.  However, Billy Justice didn’t give a damn.  He visited his friends and associates in prison often enough to know he doesn’t want to be incarcerated himself.       

It’s raining in Seattle, Washington.  It’s always raining in Seattle.  Gary Crawford, Ligar Crawford, Careway Crawford and Midweather Crawford faced Billy Justice.  Billy Justice frequently pretended to be a psychedelic hippie from the flower child generation.  The genuine truth was that he was a white supremacist from Cape Town, South Africa.  Poetic Justice and Psychedelic Justice are the biologic daughters of Billy Justice.  Billy Justice wore a tie dye necktie with a conservative business suite.  A cowboy hat was perched on his head.  All for Crawford brothers were dressed in matching orange prison jump suits.  They were in a locked heavily guarded room inside Crow Island Prison located on Crow Island off the coast of Seattle.  The only way to approach and leave Crow Island was using a ferry boat.  This was the first time Billy Justice paid a visit to all four Crawford brothers.

Billy said, “You four did the smart thing and kept your mouth shut.”

Careway said, “We said only what was necessary to keep Doctor Avocado Salvador satisfied.  I’m not sure how long we could keep up the pretension of not knowing anything.  I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in prison. ”

Billy said, “The Seattle Association for Minority Eradication will still have resources available with or without the Gannon family.  I never had any faith in Christopher Gannon’s ability to get anything accomplished.  He was a fool.  Everything he ever done was an insult to my dignity.”

Midweather said, “Please tell me you hired a good lawyer to defend us.”

Ligar said, “Are you kidding me, we’re screwed.  Doctor Salvador told us that the Seattle Metropolitan Police has enough evidence to convict us of an African American church burning in Red Rock, Vermont.”

Billy said, “I might be able to fabricate phoney evidence that places Christopher Gannon as exclusively responsible for the crime.  However, you four will be in trouble if Christopher Gannon survives the Metalshop’s planned attack against his compound.  Somebody who is expendable must take the blame.  Look, I don’t enjoy just standing here and watching you four go down the drain like this.  If the phoney evidence I try to cook up fails to work, then I’ll try to get your prison sentence limited.  It’s pointless to try the insanity plea.  Doctor Salvador isn’t that much of a fool.”

Gary said, “Thanks for the expression of sympathy Billy, I feel a lot better.”

Billy said, “I have a lot of sympathy for the four of you.  However, Police Officer Frida Deck is an impossible person to negotiate with.  She wants to destroy the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  S.A.M.E.’s plan for world domination is ruining Police Officer Frida Deck’s plan for world domination.”

Ligar said, “Do whatever you think needs to be done.  I’m a patient man.  I can wait a few years before I’m released.”

Misty said, “That’s the dumbest excuse I’ve heard in my entire life.”

Donna said, “That does it, I’m about to beat up Hank Pritchett.  My tolerance for male stupidity is running thin.”

Kristina Ruth said, “Maybe it’s time for Hank to find a brand new good luck charm.”

Halle said, “Seriously, I don’t mind helping Hank and Corissa find the good luck charm.”

Corissa said, “There you go again.  You’re recruiting my assistance without my permission.”

Halle faced Corissa and said, “Who else would I rely upon as my sidekick.”

Lori said, “Well the junior Metalshop student girls are torn about whether Hank really needs a good luck charm to fight against evil.  What does the elder Metalshop student girls have to say.”

Alison said, “I can’t force Hank to accompany us if he’s afraid.”

Hank said, “I’m not timid nor am I afraid.  I simply can’t function without my good luck charm.” 

Tasha brushed her voluptuous breasts across Hank’s left arm as she lovingly kissed him four times.  The sexually seductive teenage girl said, “Oh come on, you actually needed a good luck charm when doing business with your former cattle ranch owning partners.  Was Christopher Gannon and Tommy Harker aware that you needed a good luck charm to conduct business?  Maybe taking away your good luck charm was all that was needed to destroy you after Tommy Harker died.  It’s bad enough that Christopher Gannon and Tommy Harker used to be your business partners.  It’s bad enough that you waited until Tommy Harker died and Christopher Gannon betrayed you before recruiting Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle as your replacement business partners.  Don’t cling to the bad habits that have made you an asshole for almost your entire life.”

Joshua said, “Personally, I don’t have the vaguest idea what my numbskull brother is talking about.  I’m coming with you girls.  I want to see Christopher Gannon go down in flames for what he did to Tommy Harker.”

Atilla said, “I’m with Joshua Pritchett.  Somebody needs to teach Christopher Gannon a lesson in manners.”

Hank said, “You two guys go ahead.  I need that good luck charm.  My mother gave me that good luck charm.”

Joshua faced his brother Hank and said, “Our mother was drunk and stoned.  She treated us both like garbage.”

Hank said, “I don’t care what crimes our mother have committed in the past.  I still can’t turn my back on my mother. 

You shouldn’t turn your back on your mother either.  What happened to you?  You have become cold and angry.”

Joshua said, “Quite to the contrary, I have become logical and sensible.  You’re the one who needs the attitude adjustment.  We’re running out of time and you’re still screwing around.  What will our Dad think when he learns that you still can’t let go of your former employment with Christopher Gannon.  Honestly, Christopher Gannon tried to murder you because he won’t give you a fair share according to contract.  Yet, you still cling to his every word?”

Alison faced Hank and she said, “You should listen to your brother.  I’ll send Halle and Corissa to help you look for your stupid good luck charm, but I’d rather you help me destroy Christopher Gannon instead.”

Hank said, “It shouldn’t take too much time for me to find my good luck charm.”

Alison was frustrated when she said, “You’re not listening to a word I’m telling you.  I’m partially attacking the private residence of Christopher Gannon on your behalf.  The least you could do is help me out.  Goddess help me if you end up betraying the Metalshop.  I don’t want to take you out of commission as well.  Look at Tasha.  She’s truly in love with you.  Would you risk losing Tasha Allgood Tilberg over a stupid good luck charm.  You didn’t even like the thing a few minutes ago.  This stupid good luck charm isn’t important in the grand scheme of things.”

Hank faced Halle and Corissa and said, “Well come along if you need to.  Good luck charms won’t get up and move on their own.  You need somebody to take the initiative and locate the good luck charms on their own.”

Kyasi faced Hank and said, “Your capacity for logic astonishes me.”

Hank opened the door and nearly walked into Police Officer Frida Deck, Police Officer Karla Shepherd, Police Officer Zinnie Lang and Tracy Meijer Telegramatation.  Hank was forced to walk backwards into the room as the new arrivals entered the room.

Alison said, “Yippee, Frida Deck has arrived.  Now we can get the party started.”

Frida said, “Do you realize that you people are behind schedule?”

Hank said, “I refuse to attack the Gannon family residence until I find my good luck charm.”

Frida said, “What are you talking about?  That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “I hung out with the Tribulation and he was saying things that were vastly dumber.”

Frida said, “I refuse to dignify that statement with an answer.”

Frida faced Hank and said, “Look, if you want to waste time looking for a good luck charm, then do so.  However, it’s not proper for Alison to spare any of her Metalshop girls to help you look for the good luck charm.  She has more important things to worry about.”

Hank said, “I could get attacked and murdered while looking for my good luck charm.”

Zinnie frowned with disapproval.  The Asian born police officer said, “Maybe you deserve to get killed if you’re going to go overboard with illogical survival strategies.  Why should the Metalshop waste it’s time with a lost cause.”

Tasha faced Hank and said, “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you should listen to Police Officer Frida Deck.  The lady knows what she’s talking about.”

Frida faced Tasha and said, “Thanks for your approval.”

Tasha faced Frida and said, “Stick it up your ass before I shove it in.”

Karla said, “Don’t get us wrong, it’s nice that you waited for us to arrive.  Nobody wants to see Christopher Gannon burn in hell more than the police department.”

Tracy said, “It’s wonderful that we keep running into the goddamn police department.  Having the police department follow our every move fills me up with happiness and joy.  The police officer is our friend and we should rejoice.”

Vanessa faced Tracy and said, “I’m going to kick your ass if you keep talking like that.”

Alison said, “If there isn’t anymore objections, then we better get moving.  Rebekah Catherine, will you please have the honors of transporting us all.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “I thought you would never ask.  It would be my pleasure.”

Rebekah Catherine lead the group through the doorway connecting the living room to the kitchen.  Instead, they ended up outside the Gannon family residence one and a half miles away.  The group was outside the secret door to the secret basement.  Alison could see Deborah Stanley and her followers being occupied with trigger happy racist thugs and giant demonic human eating Venus Flytrap household plants.  Alison quietly chanted a few words under her breath in Latin.  The hidden secret door swung open.  Alison and Rebekah Catherine lead the group through the door and down the staircase. 

They ended up in the pagan worship alter room.  It was the first room in the multi-room hidden basement complex under the Gannon family residence.  Police Officer Frida Deck, Police Officer Karla Shepherd, Police Officer Zinnie Lang, Tracy Meijer Telegramatation, Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett, Atilla Hassel, Tasha Allgood Tilberg, Angela Heilman,VanessaWheel, her daughter Rebekah Catherine Wheel, Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior,Nehko-Chan Fugiyama, her biologicdaughter Mitchie Nakatani,her step-daughter Kyasi Tea, Poetic Justice, her sister Psychedelic Justice, Tatiana Dragovic, Christine Sixteen, Phyllis Gold, Ning Yuen Po Chu, Rachel Shwartz, Denise Gerda, Corissa Shwartz, Kristina Ruth Randall, Misty Supple, Lori Supple, Rachel Leah Mattes, Eva Petrik, Halle Miller, Jacqueline Makowski, Alexandria Miller, Samantha Petras,  Donna Petras and a hundred male cattle ranchers were gathered in the pagan worship alter room.  Nobody else was in the vicinity.

Misty said, “Maybe the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication gave up and went back home.”  

Tatiana said, “This house is the private residence for the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  Telling them to go home would be meaningless and counter productive.”

Poetic said, “I’m in favor of splitting up into smaller groups so we could investigate this place easily.”

Angela said, “Are you inflicted with downs syndrom?  That strategy never works.”

Psychedelic said, “Hey, it’s always inevitable that somebody would make that suggestion.”

Jacqueline said, “It’s an irrelevant suggestion anyway.  There’s only one hallway for us to travel down.”

Hank said, “Well, there’s nobody here.  Let’s go back to my mansion so we could look for my good luck charm.”

Alexandria faced Hank and said, “Will you please shut up about your goddamn good luck charm.”

Christopher Gannon entered the room and said, “I don’t think a key chain that has a Playboy Magazine photograph of a naked girl emblazoned on it qualifies as a suitable good luck charm.”

Alison said, “I assume that your name is Christopher Gannon.  It’s nice to meet you for the first time ever.”

Christopher Gannon replied, “The honor is all yours Alison.”

Rebekah Catherine faced Christopher and said, “You’re much shorter than I imagined.  I guess television added a few feet to your height.”

Christopher said, “I’m honestly not in the mood for your sense of humor.”

Alison said, “I already know what happens next.  You’re going to murder a loyal minion who would’ve walked through fire for you.  You won’t have a plausible reason for the murder.  You’ll feed us all dinner while you explain your plan in graphic detail.  Then you’ll stick us all in a needlessly convoluted trap that could be easily escaped from.  Then you’ll set your end of the world dooms day machine to detonate in twenty four hours.  Rebekah Catherine and I will shut off the unreasonably slow doomsday clock barely with seconds to spare.”

Christopher said, “You almost got it correct.  I already did the mandatory  murder of two loyal minions who would’ve walked through fire for me.  I truthfully don’t have a plausible reason for the murder.  I only did it because it makes me look evil.  I won’t do any of the other stupid useless actions that you’ve predicted.”

Alison said, “That’s a shame because I’m starving.  I was hoping for a steak dinner with mashed potatoes.”

Christopher Gannon kicked Alison in the stomach.  Seattle Association for Minority Eradication thugs stormed into the alter room as Christopher kicked Misty and Kristina Ruth with the same blow.  One hundred sympathetic cattle ranchers attacked more than two hundred racist cattle ranchers.  Christopher directly faced Rebekah Catherine.  Alison, Misty and Kristina Ruth slowly stood up. 

Rebekah Catherine said, “You always were a disappointment Christopher.  Nobody will miss you when I finally succeed in killing you.”

Christopher said, “I already saw the future and you’re not part of it.  My prediction of the future is never wrong.”

Christopher tried to kick Rebekah Catherine, but she blocked the blow.  Rebekah Catherine blocked two more kicks from Christopher.  Rebekah Catherine kicked Christopher to the ground.  Christopher slowly stood up only to be kicked to the ground by Alison.  Alison kicked him several more times with escalating levels of hostility. 

Alison said, “I already got tossed around the room like a bean bag earlier this week.  I’m not looking for an encore.”

******

Anton St. Dagon Dragovic was busy trying to find an alternative exit from the secret basement.  It wasn’t possible to teleport directly towards or away from the hidden basement.  Ute Dragovic and Karl Tollhouse raced into a another room to encounter another teenage girl hooked up to a series of bizarre looking computers.  Anton entered the room close behind.

Anton faced the teenage girl and asked, “Who are you and what are you doing here?”

The Teenage Girl said, “My name is Julie Ruin.  Christine Marie Gannon is my sister.”

Anton said, “You’re a liar.  Christopher Gannon has a brother and his name is Simon Peter.”

Julie Ruin said, “Simon Peter is a Praying Mantis Demon who took my life away and made me a prisoner.  I want my goddamn life back.  I’m tired of always being trampled by sexist pigs who kidnap and molests innocent girls.”

Anton said, “You only have yourself to blame when you allow yourself to be molested.  Yes, you’re supposed to be underage.  However, is it necessary to dress like a slut.”

Tatiana Dragovic entered the room alongside Poetic Justice and Psychedelic Justice.  Tatiana faced her biologic father with anger and hostility.

Tatiana said, “Don’t you dare talk to my friends like that.”

Anton said, “Hello father, nice to see you again.  I would be more than happy to join the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  I want to erase racial minorities from the face of the Earth.”

Tatiana said, “Shut up you stupid jackass.  You lost the right to be my father ages ago.  Just because you contributed to my birth doesn’t give you authority over me.”

Ute faced Tatiana and said, “You should apologize to your father.”     

Tatiana faced Ute and said, “I’ll do no such thing.  You don’t deserve my respect either.”

Karl said, “We don’t need to be enemies.  I always wanted you as my ally.”

Tatiana said, “How can I join you if I’m not a part of your future?  You want me to fight tirelessly for my own demise?  You actually believe that I’m suicidal enough to ache for my own destruction?  You believe that I ache to be homeless, destitute, deprived of my personality and hooked to these horrible computers?  You believe that I ache to be molested and raped?  Why would I do that?  You don’t have the right to hijack my existence.”

Karl said, “I was hoping that you would willingly sacrifice you life so that S.A.M.E. could prosper and grow.”

Angela entered the room.  The teenage African-American girl said, “I’m sorry, was I interrupting something.  I could always return.  I don’t want to get in the way of your father and daughter bonding time.”

Tatiana faced Angela and said, “Actually, I wanted to talk to my Daddy about all those African-American church burning attacks that he launched.  Daddy felt that his racist actions was necessary.  I felt differently about the crises.”

Angela faced Tatiana and said, “Actually, I wanted to talk to your Daddy about his African-American church burning attacks.  Pastor Charles Wallis was a close personal friend of mine.”  Angela faced Anton and said, “I was hoping that you would apologize for your actions.  The unprovoked death of Pastor Charles Wallis left a huge hole in my life.  There isn’t a day that goes by without me thinking about his demise.”

Anton said, “That’s too bad, because the useless pond scum cretin deserves to die.  White Anglo-Saxon Protestants are in mortal danger.  Pond scum cretins like Pastor Charles Wallis is taking away our jobs, our homes and our communities.  The entire planet Earth will become a third world toilet if white Anglo-Saxon Protestants doesn’t fight back to reclaim our community.”

Tollhouse said, “Anton is correct about everything.  It only takes one look at Angela and I feel like vomiting.  Never in my life have I seen a teenage girl more disgusting.  I never understood why an African-American teenage girl is even vaguely attractive.  Angela Heilman looks like a puke inducing circus freak.”

Angela said, “I never felt more insulted in my life.  You actually think I’ll turn around and let you escape justice again?  You actually think I’ll throw myself on the ground to atone for being born African-American?” 

Ute noticed the horrified expression on Angela’s face.  He said, “Oh stop it Angela, your behavior is disgusting.”

Poetic said, “I’m finished talking to these jerks.  Let’s beat them up now.”

Psychedelic said, “We should give Tatiana’s biologic father the chance to surrender peacefully.”

Anton pointed at Angela and hissed, “I’ll never surrender to this hideously disfigured circus sideshow freak.  Just looking at an African-American makes me want to puke.  Why can’t that disgusting thing have normal looking skin.”

Angela punched Anton in the face and he fell to the floor.  Angela kicked Anton with escalating levels of hostility. 

Angela hissed, “I’m not a disgusting inanimate object.  I’m a human being and it’s time you treated me with respect.”

Tollhouse punched Angela and she doubled over in pain.  Tollhouse tried to punch Angela, but she blocked his blow.  Anton stood up only to be kicked to the floor by his daughter Tatiana.  Tatiana kicked her father five more times.

Tatiana said, “Do us all a favor and surrender to the police.  It’s over.  You have failed.”

Chandra Mortigan-Goth saw Mark Nyler’s army of werewolf cowboys and vampire cowboys driving a caravan of automobiles towards the Gannon Residence.  The Vegetable was now giant size and no longer working for either S.A.M.E. or Mark Nyler’s crew.  S.A.M.E. wasn’t working alongside Mark Nyler or the Vegetable.  Mark Nyler wasn’t working alongside either S.A.M.E. or the Vegetable.  Deborah Stanley and her followers were busy attacking and killing whatever was left from the needless unnecessary feuding.  Chandra was trying to find an enemy warrior to fight against when she turned a corner around the Gannon multi-floor mansion.  She suddenly found herself transported to the hidden basement below the Gannon family residence.  She wasn’t sure how she managed to do so because the security defense sorcery prevented teleportation.  However, Chandra wasn’t going to argue.

A racist S.A.M.E. warrior attacked Chandra.  She kicked him twice before flipping him above her head.  She spun around and crushed his trachea with her foot.  The racist S.A.M.E. warrior died instantly.

Solvig Dragovic and Reinhold Dragovic stood in Chandra Mortigan-Goth’s path. 

Solvig said, “This is the final reckoning between the Metalshop and the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  The Metalshop has outlived it’s usefulness.  It’s time for you Metalshop women to simply go away and never return.”

Reinhold said, “It’s nothing personal young lady, it’s only business.”

Chandra said, “Go ahead and try to murder me.  I don’t give a damn what you think about me.”

Reinhold attacked Chandra.  She broke both of his arms in record time.  She twisted Reinhold’s neck until it broke.  Reinhold fell to the ground dead. 

Solvig screamed, “No, you murdered him.  How dare you!”

Chandra hissed, “Oh shut up Solvig, I’m sick and tired of monsters like you antagonizing me.”

Chandra delivered a roundhouse kick against Solvig.  She fell backwards against the wall.  Chandra kicked Solvig in the stomach before kicking her again in the trachea.  Chandra kicked Solvig in the trachea a second time before it broke.  Solvig fell to the ground dead.  Another S.A.M.E. warrior attacked Chandra.  She kicked him five times before delivering a karate chop to his neck.  She pulled out her dagger from a hidden holster attached to her left leg.  She stabbed the S.A.M.E. racist thug five times before he died.  A third S.A.M.E. racist thug attacked Chandra.  She stabbed him three times before kicking him six times.  The racist thug died without a struggle.  She walked towards a statue of Adolf Hitler.  She tore the statue down and slammed it against the wall until it fell apart into pieces.   

Chandra Mortigan-Goth was aimlessly roaming the hallways of the hidden basement under the Gannon family residence.  She entered a hidden room when she opened a secret doorway by accident.  She looked downwards at two high technology futuristic coffins.  Five Praying Mantis Demons entered the room followed by ten S.A.M.E. employed racist thugs.  Chandra chanted a few words to herself and released a flame thrower from her fingertips.  All five Praying Mantis Demons and all ten S.A.M.E. racist thugs were burned to a crisp.  Chandra looked into one of the high technology futuristic coffins.  A smile crept up across her face.  She raced out of the room and into the only hallway entrance to the Pagan alter worship chamber.  She tugged at Rebekah Catherine’s arm as she tried to fist fight against Christopher Gannon.  Chandra successfully pulled Rebekah Catherine away and down the hallway.

Rebekah Catherine slammed Chandra against the wall and hissed, “What are you doing here?  You’re supposed to be helping Deborah.”

Chandra said, “I teleported into the hidden basement without breaking open the locked door.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “That’s impossible.  Nobody could do such a thing.”

Chandra said, “That’s why it’s taking you so long to defeat Christopher Gannon.  That’s not important right now.  There’s something you need to see.”

Chandra pulled Rebekah Catherine down the hallway and through a hidden doorway to a hidden room.  Both women  walked towards two high technology futuristic coffins.  Rebekah Catherine looked into one of the coffins and a smile crept up across her face.

Rebekah Catherine said, “Oh Goddess, is that who I think that is?”

Chandra said, “It’s wonderful because I never got to murder him the last time he was alive.”

CHAPTER NINETEEN

IT’S PARADISE, BUT IT’S NOT FOR ME

Shawn Donald Dukakis aka Shan Daun The Eternal, .his wife Elektra Dukakis, his brother Cassius Dukakis, Father Tucker and his daughter Reverend Katie Galsworthy and Tim Gladstone were riding in a limousine.  The limousine drove down the streets of Kent, Ohio.  They were on their way to the secret headquarters of William Neibuhr.  Not only did Tim Gladstone knew where William Neibuhr’s secret headquarters were, but he also knew how to murder a gangster who survived crucifixion.  Shan Daun himself was a dangerous gangster wasn’t sure why he took William Neibuhr’s crime cartel so personally.  However, if Shan Daun’s daughter Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley told him that William Neibuhr was dangerous, there was no question what should be done.  Shan Daun always honors requests made by his daughters.  That must be done because Shan Daun’s daughters are the next in line to take over the organized crime cartel.  Shan Daun once had sons too, but they died long ago and that opportunity has been closed forever.  With luck, Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley will fulfill the destiny that their brothers Hal Youngblood, Victor Von Duran and Henrick Von Duran failed to accomplish.  Father Tucker, Reverend Katie and Tim were taking turns smoking marijuana as they spoke in the limousine.

San Daun faced Tim Gladstone and said, “You better be correct about your information.”

Tim faced Shan Daun and said, “Don’t worry, nobody knows William Neibuhr better than me.”  Tim faced Reverend Katie and asked, “I have a hypothetical situation for you.  Suppose two medical doctors spent their entire lives working on this never finished two volume fictional novel series.  Both medical doctors die of old age without ever completing both novels.  Five years after their deaths, both unfinished novels are still uncomplete and vanish without a trace.  Does both unfinished novels still qualify as the greatest literary novels ever written?”

Reverend Katie said, “That situation would only work if you hijack control over a comic book series written by a gay Englishman.  It doesn’t matter if the unfinished two volume fictional novel series has nothing to do with the comic book series written by a gay Englishman.  You could still turn it into a deadly sexual harassment complain.”

Tim said, “I’m asking that because Doctor Dream, Mistress Dream and Lord Valium wants to start a comic book publication corporation that publishes literary novels on the side.  Doctor Dream insists that the comic book series  WE WILL BURY YOU written by Stan Glasser was a page by page plagiarized adaption of HYPER-DERMIC NEEDLE and AUTOMOBILE Hank Copeland and his son Elton Copeland.  I kept telling Doctor Dream that such an accusation isn’t possible.  WE WILL BURY YOU is exactly identical to the comic book series GREEN LANTERN while HYPERDERMIC NEEDLE and AUTOMOBILE is sleepy, slow moving and deeply nuerotic.  However, Doctor Dream was filled with so much rage that I’m not cooperating with a magic ritual that he refuses to listen.  Now Doctor Dream is angry because my anger is disrupting his anger.”

Father Tucker said, “Don’t listen to anything Doctor Dream tells you.  Everybody agrees that Doctor Dream is a brainless idiot.  I’m surprised that Doctor Dream has survived against his mortal sworn arch enemy Deborah Stanley for as long as he has.”

Shan Daun said, “I kept telling Congressman Mason Silk that Doctor Dream needs to get whacked.  Sadly, nobody approve the murder of Doctor Dream.  What the hell for?  Doctor Dream has nothing useful to offer.”

Elektra said, “I don’t think that Stan Glasser will appreciate being accused of stealing anything from Hank Copeland and Elton Copeland.  You’ll have a Hell of a lawsuit if you keep saying that in public.  Besides, does Hank Copeland and Elton Copeland wants to be immortalized for co-writing a gay English men’s only comic book series?  We all know that Hank Copeland and his son Elton Copeland have always been heterosexual.  We also know that Hank Copeland and Elton Copeland never been to England also.”

Cassius replied, “Who needs logic when Doctor Dream is throwing a childish temper tantrum about the fate and future of a goddamn comic book series.  You would’ve figured that Doctor Dream would have a better thing to do with his time.  Then again Doctor Dream’s antics has always been one embarrassment after another.”

Reverend Katie asked, “How old is Doctor Dream?  Isn’t he twenty-one years old?  Isn’t he a bit old to be throwing a temper tantrum about a goddamn comic book series?  Please tell me that somebody recorded that temper tantrum on film.  Yeah it’s embarrassing to watch, but I could always use a good laugh.”

The limousine rolled to a halt.  The fleet of twenty Mercedes Benz automobiles also halted. 

The Limousine Driver said from the drivers seat, “This is the private residence of William Neibuhr.”

Shan Daun said, “At last, we’re going to finish off William Neibuhr once and for all.”

Shan Daun exited his limousine.  With the marijuana joint finished,  Father Tucker and his daughter Reverend Katie Galsworthy and Tim Gladstone exited the limousine.  Elektra Dukakis and Cassius Dukakis followed close behind.  Roughly sixty mafia henchmen employed by Shan Daun the Eternal exited their Mercedes Benz automobiles.  They walked towards a fancy middle class suburban house nearby Kent State University district of Kent, Ohio.  Water guns that were blessed by Tim Gladstone in a crude two minute long Satan worshiping outside William Neibuhr’s secret headquarters .  Armed with pagan pentagrams and water guns loaded with water blessed by Satan as their only weapons, they marched into William Neibuhr’s secret headquarters. 

Two hundred Born Again Christian Vampires were already gathered in the living room.  They were holding a bible study of the New Testament when they were interrupted by Shan Daun the Eternal.  Shan Daun looked around the living room.  It was decorated with cheap K-Mart furniture.  There were two naked teenage girls lying dead from vampire blood drinking.  There five more teenage girls held in bondage as the Born Again Christian Vampires was trying to teach them all the Holy Bible.  One of the doomed girls appeared to be close to getting a baptism from William Neibuhr.  William Neibuhr was no longer hiding his vampire fangs.  He wore white formal shoes, white formal slacks, a white formal shirt, a white necktie, priesthood robes and a Christian crucifix.  William Neibuhr fearlessly held his copy of the Holy Bible firmly in both hands.  His all white attire was stained in human blood. 

Shan Daun said, “I’m sorry, but this freak show has to end right now.  Honestly, how could you do anything that involves Christianity without getting burned up?”

William Neibuhr said faced Shan Daun and said, “I only have twenty minutes left in my bible study lesson.  I was teaching my minions about the Gospel of Mark.  Could you possibly come back later.  I hate it when Christian bible study is interrupted.”  He faced Tim Gladstone and said, “How could you betray me like this.  I thought we were getting along with each other.  I thought our friendship was meaningful.”

Tim replied, “I’m sorry, but I can’t justify rape and murder anymore.”

William said, “I’m a vampire.  I can’t survive without drinking human blood.  Besides, these girls are heretics.  These broken girls needs to be converted.  I’m just the man to perform the Christian baptism these girls secretly desire.”  

Reverend Katie said, “I’m sorry, but a rape attack is still considered rape no matter how pious you try to make it.”

Father Tucker said, “Talk is cheap and I want to end this now.  I bow down in humble prayer to Satan.”

Reverend Katie faced her biologic dad, Father Tucker, and said, “Hallelujah, amen.”

Father Tucker squirted a water gun filled with water blessed by a Satan worshiper at a Born Again Christian Vampire.  The Born Again Christian Vampire dissolved into dust when coming into contact with Christianity bashing heresy.  Father Tucker faced Shawn Donald Dukakis aka Shan Daun The Eternal, Elektra Dukakis and  Cassius Dukakis and said, “I told you this was going to work.”

Cassius said, “I’ll be damned.  I never thought I would actually enjoy Satan worshiping.”

Father Tucker said, “Fuck you GOD, I hate your guts.  The Holy Bible is a stupid brainless fraud!”

Father Tucker squirted his water gun filled with water blessed by Satan worshiping at five more Born Again Christian Vampires.  All five vampires dissolved into dust.  

Shan Daun the Eternal faced Father Tucker and said, “You’re enjoying this too much.”

One hundred and ninety-four last surviving Born Again Christian Vampires charged against Shan Daun and his followers.  Of the one hundred and ninety-five last surviving Born Again Christian Vampires, only ninety-five of them survived a non-stop water gun squirting attack.  Yes, there were moments when Shan Daun the Eternal actually thought that only using water guns in a mafia whacking job was stupid and useless.  However, he changed his mind when he realized how effective Father Tucker’s plan actually turned out to be.  When the water guns ran out of water, then it was wooden stakes that were blessed by Tim Gladstone, the Satan worshiping fanatic.

All two hundred of his Born Again Christian Vampire warriors were turned to dust and all five kidnaped college age girls were successfully rescued.  When William Neibuhr realized that he lost everything, he attacked Shan Daun with unreasonable obsession with revenge.

William Neibuhr screamed out, “Why did you do that?  You realize the Metalshop girls are the genuine villains.  We shall look at every single girl on the Metalshop sorority roster and realize that nobody is familiar.  It’s a form of unfamiliarity that’s evil and unforgivable.”

William Neibuhr looked at Reverend Katie Galsworthy with unreasonable seething rage.                  The college age girl regarded William Neibuhr with a similar unreasonable seething rage.  There was no love lost between the two of them.  Reverend Katie Galsworthy was a twenty-something girl with a clean shaven skull, five nose rings, seven earrings, nine eyebrow rings, six chin rings and a black lace punk rock gothic looking Roman Catholic priesthood vestments. Reverend Katie Galsworthy didn’t care that her parentage, occupation and wardrobe was an insult to Christianity.  As far as Reverend Katie was concerned, her depiction of Jesus was genuine and sincere.

William Neibuhr faced Reverend Katie and said, “You think you’re being cool, stylish and funny?  Your Christianity bashing heresy is a desperate cry for help.  You’re broken and hurt.  You need help.  Sadly, Jesus Christ has no need for women who sin against him.  It’s my job to clean up the messes that Jesus Christ left behind.  I’m sorry, but you’re the biggest mess Jesus Christ has made.  You are a mistake.  You should never have been born.”   

William Neibuhr grabbed Reverend Katie and tilted her lead to the left.  William Neibuhr’s vampire fangs moved closer towards her neck.  Reverend Katie rammed a wooden stake into William Neibuhr’s heart. 

Reverend Katie said, “Fuck you GOD, I hate your guts.  Long live Satan.  I’ll be seeing you in Hell.”

William Neibuhr exploded into dust.  Reverend Katie turned around to face Shawn Donald Dukakis aka Shan Daun The Eternal, .Elektra Dukakis, Cassius Dukakis, Father Tucker and Tim Gladstone.  

Shan Daun asked, “Is it finished?  Will this jerk rise from the grave after three days?  I actually thought crucifixion was going to work for that loser and he survived that.”

Father Tucker, “Yes, we finally destroyed William Neibuhr.  He won’t bother you anymore.  William Neibuhr was only kept alive by his unquestioning faith in Christianity.  We need to discourage his faith in GOD in order to destroy him.  Using Christianity bashing heresy to destroy a Born Again Christian vampire isn’t pleasant, but it’s necessary in this circumstance.”

Elektra said, “It’s a shame we needed to destroy William Neibuhr’s faith in GOD in order to destroy him.”

Cassius said, “Going to war against another person is never pleasant.  Sadly, William Neibuhr never gave us any choice in the matter.”

Tim Gladstone said, “I did good.  I’ve been cleared of any charges against me.”

Shan Daun faced Time Gladstone and said, “You’re alright as far as I’m concerned.”

Kidnaped Girl #1 said, “What happened to us.  Who were those people.”

Reverend Katie said, “It’s a long story.  I explain it to you along the way.”

Kidnaped Girl #2 said, “Where are we going?”

Father Tucker said, “You need to be returned back home.  We’ll figure everything out at a Metalshop owned safehouse.  Don’t worry, you girls will be just fine.”

Kidnaped Girl #3 said, “Will those creatures return?”

Father Tucker said, “Those vampire creatures won’t return.  You girls are safe from danger.”

Kidnaped Girl #4 said, “I didn’t care for those creatures at all.  I can’t believe I allowed them to overpower me.”

Kidnaped Girl #1 said, “Hey, you’re not the only one.  Those creatures overpowered all five of us.”

Kidnaped Girl #5 said, “Never again will we fear danger from monsters like William Neibuhr.”

Kidnaped Girl #3 said, “Amen to that sister.”

Reverend Katie said, “Come on ladies, we need to get out of here.  We don’t want to be here when the police arrive.”   Shawn Donald Dukakis aka Shan Daun The Eternal, .Elektra Dukakis, Cassius Dukakis, Father Tucker,  Reverend Katie Galsworthy, Tim Gladstone, five kidnaped girls and sixty mafia henchmen exited the buildings.  They walked towards the caravan of Mercedes Benz automobiles as police sirens filled the air.

Back in Port Lavika, Texas, it was time to get back to work.  They were goofing off for far too long.  Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett, Atilla Hassel, Tasha Allgood Tilberg, Angela Heilman,VanessaWheel, her daughter Rebekah Catherine Wheel, Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior,Nehko-Chan Fugiyama, her biologicdaughter Mitchie Nakatani,her step-daughter Kyasi Tea, Poetic Justice, her sister Psychedelic Justice, Tatiana Dragovic, Christine Sixteen, Phyllis Gold, Ning Yuen Po Chu, Rachel Shwartz, Denise Gerda, Corissa Shwartz, Kristina Ruth Randall, Misty Supple, Lori Supple, Rachel Leah Mattes, Eva Petrik, Halle Miller, Jacqueline Makowski, Alexandria Miller, Samantha Petras,  Donna Petras and a hundred male cattle ranchers were gathered in the Pritchett brother’s split level ranch style mansion.  They were getting ready for final combat against the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  All of the Metalshop women were dressed in matching black cowgirl boots, tight blue jeans and white sleeveless tee shirts. The men were dressed in casual informal street attire.

Rebekah Catherine said, “At last, we finally get to meet Christopher Gannon for the first time ever.  I don’t like being delayed.  I curse the day the Tribulation was ever born.”

Alison said, “It’s a shame the Tribulation’s death was such an anti-climax.  I was expecting a more dramatic death scene for that girl hating jerk.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Oh please don’t jinx our victory.  The Tribulation always returns after you say that.”     

Alison said, “Please don’t indulge in superstition.  I’m not in the mood for unproven silliness.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Fine, proceed at your own risk.  Remember, you’ve been warned.”

Alison replied, “Please don’t provoke me again.  I’m tired of hearing Tribulation hero worship.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “I’m not obsessed with hero worship towards the Tribulation.  Goddess, I’m shocked that you would even consider such a notion.”

Alison said, “Oh come on, it took way too long for us girls to murder the Tribulation.  Only a girl who secretly wants to be killed by the Tribulation would allow him so many victories.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “That’s it, I want an apology from you.  How dare you think such a notion.”

Alison said, “Poor fragile Rebekah Catherine.  You’re such a helpless victim.  You’re so busy pretending to be a helpless victim that you forgot about the human race.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “At least I’m not an arrogant egotistical self-worshiping snobby brat.  You got a monopoly on those personality traits.”

Chandra’s long red hair partially fell in front of her face as she said, “Do I need to separate the two of you again.  The last thing we need from the two of you is another argument.”

Kyasi said, “So what’s the plan?  Do we sneak through the hidden doorway or do we teleport in.”

Vanessa said, “We should teleport close to the hidden doorway and quietly break the door open.  With luck, Deborah Stanley and her followers will keep the S.A.M.E. thugs occupied.”

Angela said, “We’re assuming that Deborah Stanley and her followers isn’t killed before we arrive.”

Poetic said, “How could you think like that?  You need to be more positive.”

Angela said, “An optimist who doesn’t acknowledge possible risks is a fool.”

Poetic said, “Those are wise words young lady.  I should frame it and hang it above the toilet.”

Psychedelic said, “Does anybody know the combination that opens the secret door?”

Rebekah Catherine said, “I was going to use a flame throwing fireball blast against the secret door.  It should carve a pretty huge hole where the secret door once existed.”

Tatiana asked, “Suppose you teleported on the opposite end of the Gannon ranch style mansion.  Suppose you knocked down the wrong wall.”

Alison said, “It makes no difference as far as I’m concerned.  We’re probably going to knock down the Gannon residence anyway.  Mistakes like that will only expedite the process.”   

Mitchie said, “We don’t want the entire Gannon residence to collapse before we could enter the basement.  I don’t want those Seattle Association for Minority Eradication goons to escape from us again.”

Christine said, “It would be a pretty short battle if we defeated S.A.M.E. that way.  I’m not looking forward to an extensive long term battle.”

Mitchie faced Christine and said, “I’m not going to dignify that statement with an answer.”

Hank lovingly sat next to Tasha.  He frantically searched his pockets.  He didn’t find what he was looking for.  Tasha lovingly kissed Hank and asked, “Darling, what’s wrong?”

Hank said, “I forgot my good luck charm.  I dropped it in the barn.”

Halle said, “We could function rather nicely without your good luck charm.”

Atilla said, “I’ve seen Hank function without his good luck charm.  It wasn’t hopeful.”

Joshua said, “That’s an understatement.  Christopher nearly clobbered us without the good luck charm.”

Poetic said, “Good grief, we don’t have time for this nonsense.”

Tasha said, “Then proceed without Hank and I.  We’ll find the good luck charm and meet up with you later.”

Nehko-Chan said, “Tasha is much too important for the attack against Christopher Gannon.  Halle shall escort Hank to the barn and later to the Gannon residence.”

Halle asked, “Why should I escort this dummy.”

Nehko-Chan said, “Because this dummy was nice enough to be our host for the evening.”

Hank said, “Thanks for calling me a dummy.”

Ning said, “Hey, you got it coming.”

Rachel Leah asked, “Seriously, can’t you function for one day without your good luck charm?”

Hank said, “I’m not moving a muscle anywhere without it.”

Rachel faced Hank and said, “I don’t understand how you survived for as long as you have.” 

Halle said, “Fine, let’s get it over with.  Corissa shall help you.”

Corissa faced Halle and asked, “Why am I always helping you out.”

Halle faced Corissa and said, “Because you’re a glutton for punishment.”

Phyllis said, “Do you need a third girl”

Halle said, “We only looking for a good luck charm inside a barn.  It shouldn’t be too difficult.”

Denise said, “We need most of the Metalshop girls to attack the Gannon family residence.  We can’t allow unnecessary side trips to monopolize our time.”

Eva said, “Is there any helpful advice for the new female recruits?”

Christine said, “I got a good advice for you.  Don’t get killed again.”

Alexandria said, “Do you have any advice that isn’t so obvious.”

Alison said, “You already faced these type of situation in training exercise drills.”

Jacqueline faced Eva and said, “You could rehearse your favorite action film scene in your head to get you excited and ready for action.”

Eva said, “Oh yeah, I died the last time I tried that.  It doesn’t help my self esteem.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Look, I already told you girls that I’m sorry I got thirteen of you killed.  I thought my plan against the Tribulation was better thought out.”

Alison faced Rebekah Catherine with intent to punch her and hissed, “Oh stop it, I’m not in the mood for excuses.”

Rachel Leah faced Hank and said, “Oh come on, you’re going to delay everybody because you want to look for a goddamn good luck charm.  You wasn’t very interested in this good luck charm a few minutes ago.  Why the sudden surprise change of heart.  I seriously thought you were cooler than this good luck charm dependency issue.”

Samantha said, “It’s not fair that Halle and Corissa should be delayed for a cheap piece of metal.  I’m assuming this good luck charm is a cheap piece of metal.”  Samantha faced Hank and said, “Why did you remove you good luck charm from your pocket in the first place?”

Hank said, “I don’t know.  It just happened.”

Susan said, “I’m not trying to sound like a nag, but if we’re going to make a decision, we better make it soon.  The enemy doesn’t care if we can’t make up our mind.”

Zoe said, “Never has there been a more factual statement made by anybody.”

Susan said, “Thanks Zoe, somebody needs to be the voice of reason around here.”

Simon Peter said, “If it makes you feel better, I know how to gain entrance to the hidden basement.  However, I’m not going to tell any of you.  My deception has reached it’s conclusion.”

Deborah asked, “What are you talking about?  You’re my friend.  Why would you kill your own employee if you’re in cooperation with them.”

Simon Peter said, “Because my alleged friends would never accept me if I told them that I could do this!”  Simon Peter Gannon shape shifted into a Praying Mantis Demon.  He continued, “I’m sorry that I must murder you now.”

Dean said, “On the other hand, we could allow ourselves to be taken prisoner as a way of gaining entrance.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “Do you truly believe that I’d be dumb enough to do that?”

Dean said, “I’ll rest assured that my male ego would be preserved.”

Deborah faced Dean and said, “Will you please put your male ego aside for just one second?”

Andrew said, “Hold on a second, I’m still confused by something.  Simon Peter Gannon was insecure about his demonic heritage.  Simon Peter askedEddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnsonif they would accept him as a Praying Mantis Demon.  The answer from all three men were no, so they were killed?”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “I didn’t need to ask any questions.  Their arrogance was all that I needed.  Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnson always teased me and I never liked that.” 

Barry said, “Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnson are evil.  Being arrogant and rude was part of the job description.  I’m sorry, but you should’ve asked before you started killing people off.”

Tony said, ”Don’t get me wrong, we were thankful that you helped us out.  Nice trick with the shape shifting.  How did you pull it off?”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter replied, “I kidnaped Julie Ruin Gannon and I stole her personality.”

Deborah asked, “You kidnaped Julie Ruin, but it never occurred to you to steal her name as well?  I’m sorry, but it’s confusing when an evil super-villain is named after a super-hero biblical character.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “There wasn’t a masculine version of Julie Ruin.  I had to improvise.”

Deborah said, “It’s still a shitty idea to insult the Goddess Judith Din Eiden like that.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “You think that I’m insulting GOD, you’re the psycho who keeps referring to GOD as a fucking woman.  Do you realize how foolish you sound?”

Chandra said, “Look, if you want to murder us, then start fighting us already.  If you want to keep having a peace treaty, then we’ll do that too.  I’d rather form a peace treaty if it’s still possible.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter hissed, “Do you realize how humiliating it was to pretend to be friendly to you?  Do you realize how humiliating it was to listen to your endless mindless conversation about girlish topics?  I had to control my anger every single second until I couldn’t handle talking to you anymore.  Now I don’t need to be your friend anymore.  Now is the time for the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication to take control over the planet.  Now is the time for the Megalith and Niles Creagan to rise from the grave.  Now is the time for revenge!”

Deborah said with a groan, “Oh shit, not again.  I thought the Megalith was dead forever.”

Jerusalem said, “Look, you’ve been very helpful so far.  I wouldn’t want to murder you.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “You want to keep a giant Praying Mantis Demon on the payroll after you rescued Julie Ruin Gannon and her sister Christine Marie Gannon?  My brother Christopher Gannon and myself can’t return to human form when the kidnaped girls are rescued.”

Deborah asked, “Hold on a second, I’m not sure if I understand what you’re saying.  Christopher Gannon stole his life from a girl?  You’re telling me that Gene Gannon and his wife Carolyn Johnns Gannon never gave birth to two sons, but rather they gave birth to daughters.”

Zoe said, “I’m sorry, but that’s just too weird for comfort.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “Gene Gannon and Carolyn Johnns Gannon considered it to be curse to have daughters instead of sons.  However, they refused the opportunity to replace their human daughters with insect sons.  So Gene Gannon and Carolyn Johnns Gannon were replaced with insects also.  I feel sorry for Susan Stanley.  The girl was so stoned that she didn’t realize that she was having sexual intercourse with a goddamn insect.”

Susan faced Praying Mantis Simon Peter and said, “Yuck, thanks for telling me that.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “You have to wonder about the sanity of somebody who can’t tell the difference between a teenage girl and a male insect duplication.  Don’t you think it’s odd that Gene Gannon was violently opposed to his son Christopher Gannon choosing cattle ranching instead of swimming competition?  That’s because the actual Gene Gannon didn’t think it was appropriate for a girl to be employed as a cattle rancher.  The actual Gene Gannon wanted more girlish sports and activities for his daughters instead.  The Praying Mantis Demons couldn’t understand that when they made male insect duplications of human teenage girls.”

Deborah asked, “What about the Age of Aquarius?”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “The Age of Aquarius never had anything to do with the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  The Age of Aquarius was the favorite motto and slogan for Chrstine Marie Gannon.  That too was duplicated when the Praying Mantis Demons made male insect duplications of a human teenage girl.  Most of the Praying Mantis Demons didn’t know what the Age of Aquarius actually meant, but Christine Marie Gannon thought about it often.  The Praying Mantis Demons didn’t want to leave anything out,  so they duplicated it too.”

Jerusalem asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to join us?  I would hate to kill a possibly useful ally.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter said, “Do you actually want a talking Praying Mantis Demon on the payroll?”

Jerusalem said, “It would be a difficult thing to explain, but I could try to work around it.”

Praying Mantis Simon Peter lunged towards Jerusalem with intent to kill.  Chandra chanted a few words under her breath.  Praying Mantis Simon Peter burst into flames.  He raced out of the barn screaming hate filled diatribes.  A few S.A.M.E. racist thugs tried to extinguish the flames, but it was too late to save Praying Mantis Simon Peter.  The Praying Mantis Demon monster died in seconds. 

Racist Thug #1pointed at the barn and said, “People working for the enemy is hiding in the barn.”

Racist Thug #2 said, “Are they working for Mark Nyler or are they working for the Metalshop Crime Cartel?”

Racist Thug #1 said, “Does it matter who they’re working for?  They killed one of our employers.  They must die!”

Racist Thug #3 said, “Die racial minority loving scum.  You will die for what you’ve done!”

Thirty Seattle Association for Minority Eradication racist thugs fired machine gun fire at the barn.  It only took a few seconds for Deborah, Susan, Zoe and Chandra to produce a force field. 

Deborah said, “We won’t be able to enter the hidden basement at the rate we’re going.”

Sympathetic Cattle Rancher #1 said, “Why are we hiding?  We should attack these jerks and get it over with.”

Jerusalem said, “It’s also important that we protect the horses from being accidently killed by these goons.  Then we’ll figure out a workable plan to murder them.”

Brian said, “I thought there were supposed to be backup available for us?”

Jerusalem said, “Our backup finally arrived.  I don’t know what on Earth they’re doing.  Alison Taylor and Rebekah Catherine Wheel isn’t normally this unreliable.  We need to hang in there until we get assistance.”

Sympathetic Cattle Rancher #2 said, “We’re already outnumbered and that’s without Mark Nyler showing up.  Do you really think we’ll be able to hang in there without backup?”

Sympathetic Cattle Rancher #3 said, “We don’t have much choice in the matter.”

Dean faced all thirty cattle ranchers and said, “Calm down gentlemen.  We should have more faith in the Metalshop.  They’ve been reliable and trustworthy so far.”

Deborah faced Dean and said, “I’m sorry I got you mixed up in this insanity.  Trouble always seems to be following me.  There’s no way I could escape from all these psychos and lunatics.”

Dean said, “Are you kidding?  This is the most fun I’ve had in years.”

Andrew said, “Do we need to be here to keep the force field going?  If so, there’s no racist thugs near the rear exit.” 

Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Chandra Mortigan-Goth, Jerusalem Heilman, Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter and sixty male cattle ranchers snuck through the backdoor of the barn.  The force field that protected the horses from recklessly fired bullets were still operational.  Deborah didn’t walk very walk before she stopped in her tracks in shock.  There were three separate levels of surprise and shock.  She wasn’t disturbed by the surprise presence Richard Conlon and Nathan Shores.  She was slightly bothered by the presence of Josephine Bearcloud-in-sky and the motorcycle gang of Navaho Indians.  However, she was horrified to the core by the presence of F.B.I. agent Happy Yakimoto,F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree,F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wifeF.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta.

Deborah said with a frown, “I thought you couldn’t enter the Gannon family compound.”

Talbert said with pride, “It appears as if there’s suddenly enough circumstantial evidence to apply for an arrest warrant for several people.  Don’t worry Deborah, you’ll be sharing your prison cell with Susan, Zoe Christopher Gannon, Mark Nyler and everybody employed by the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication.  We’ve found the breakthrough that we’ve been looking for.  Gary Crawford, Ligar Crawford, Careway Crawford and Midweather Crawford told us everything in return for a lenient prison sentence.”

Deborah said, “Oh please, I’m not in the mood to tangle with the police right now.”

Lydia said, “I don’t think you have much of a choice.  You actually thought you could shoot apart a grocery store full of innocent people for what?  You needed money for drugs?  You needed money to finance protesting against war and violence?  It’s ok if you go overboard with violence, but nobody is allowed to do the same.  That thought process is very hypocritical.  I was expecting better behavior from a Kent State University student.”

Jerusalem said, “If you’re going to arrest Deborah, Susan and Zoe, can you do so after we resolve this mess.”

Happy said, “There’s no way I’m going to allow Deborah, Susan and Zoe to walk away without punishment again.  There has to be punishment and retribution.  I’m tired of spoiled snobby debutantes thinking they could push us around like we’re meaningless.”

Deborah said, “There’s no way Susan, Zoe and I could think about law enforcement like it’s meaningless.”

Zoe faced Deborah and said, “What are you talking about, you’re always insulting law enforcement.”       

Deborah faced Zoe and said, “Shut up Zoe, you’re not helping.”

Mitzie said, “Fine, we’ll agree to a temporary truceuntil this mess is over.” 

Nathan Shores lovingly kissed Zoe before saying, “I’ve missed you.  I’m hoping you need some extra help.”

Zoe lovingly kissed Nathan before saying, “You came at the right time.  Alison and Rebekah Catherine are no shows and we’re in serious trouble.  I wasn’t expecting you to actually bring the police along.”

Barry asked, “What’s wrong with alerting the police?”

Susan replied, “Alerting the police is a bad idea if Deborah, Zoe and myself are fugitives from the law.”

Barry said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have a choice in the matter.”

Susan said, “Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of.”

Richard lovingly kissed Deborah before saying, “I’m sorry honey, but I slept with Josephine.”

Deborah lovingly kissed Richard before saying, “That’s alright darling, because I slept with Dean.”

Richard asked, “Who is Dean and why would you sleep with him?”

Deborah replied, “Because you’re always sleeping around with renegade Megalshop girls behind my back.”

Josephine faced Deborah and Richard before saying, “Can you two have a lovers spat later, we’re about to enter a deadly gun battle.  We need to think about priorities.”

Deborah faced Josephine and said, “Thank you lady, but I know how to do my job.”

Humphry Schumacher raced out of the nearby greenhouse.  He was screaming in a blind panic.

Humphry said, “Oh my God, that creature at all of my employees.  It’s gone psycho.  I never expected this to happen.”

The Vegetable suddenly expanded in size.  The demonic household plant grew big enough to break through the greenhouse and became the same size as the Gannon Mansion. 

The Vegetable said, “I told you that I won’t tolerate insubordination.  It’s time for plants and vegetation to revolt against yucky disgusting animal life forms.  I shall have my revenge!”

The Vegetable ate Humphry Schumacher.  The Vegetable turned it’s sights towards Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Chandra Mortigan-Goth, Jerusalem Heilman, Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter, sixty male cattle ranchers, Richard Conlon, Nathan Shores, Josephine Bearcloud-in-sky, sixty Navaho Indian biker thugs,  F.B.I. agent Happy Yakimoto,F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree,F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wifeF.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta, corrupt FBI agents and corrupt Texas police officers. 

Deborah said, “Oh Goddess, that’s the last thing I need today.  It’s days like these when I wish I were still in bed.”

Zoe said, “OMG dude, gag me with a spoon!”

Eva Braun said, “We shouldn’t be here.  We’re better off if we leave now.  Do you realize what will happen if they realize the truth.  We can’t guarantee the Vegetable’s cooperation.”

Doctor Megalon said, “Then we better make sure we get paid before we slip away unnoticed.  We can’t hide from the Seattle Association for Minority Eradication without money.  I doubt that we’ll need to escape from our S.A.M.E. allies.  Our S.A.M.E. allies already know what they’re getting mixed up with.  We never hid anything from them.”

Eva Braun said, “I hope you’re right.  The presence of Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley  is making me very nervous.  The Vegetable is acting like he’s already suffering a nervous breakdown.” 

They walked further down the hall. He reached what appeared to be a storage room. Doctor Megalon closed the door and locked it. He felt the walls and the floor before he ventured to the mirror.  The mirror was mounted on the wall. He placed his attache case on the floor and opened it. He pulled out a tape recorder and plugged it into the wall. He pressed play on the tape recorder.  Doctor Adolf Mulgav Megalon was nervous.  He was amazed that his scheme lasted for as long as it had.  However, he can’t shake the feeling that he was being manipulated the entire time. 

Christopher Gannon’s voice uttered, “We worship Judith Din Eiden” from the tape recorder. The entire left wall slid sideway to reveal a hidden staircase. Husband and wife lovingly kissed each other.  Doctor Adolf Megalon and Doctor Eva Braun Megalon walked down the staircase. 

The staircase was made of stone. The walls and the ceiling was also made of stone. The staircase briefly spiraled as he walked further underground. The husband and wife botanist team figured that he was half a mile underground before he reached an entrance. He walked through.  Doctor Adolf Megalon and Doctor Eva Braun Megalon stood in the middle of an underground pagan temple made of stone. There was a stone pagan alter in the center of the room. There was a red cloth on the stone alter. A bowl, a double edge knife and a pile of bird feathers were on the red table cloth.  Doctor Megalon held Eva Braun’s hand as they walked even further into the room.  

The rotted remains of a dead bird was placed in a pile of twigs nearby the stone alter. A can of lighter fluid and a book of matches were placed on the floor next to the stone alter. Pagan robes were hung on wooded rack mounted on

the wall in a smaller adjoining room. The stone pagan temple and the adjoining dressing room was lit only by torches. There were the sound of footsteps.  Derrick Lawrence and Dan Grassbaugh emerged from the stone staircase.  Derrick said, “You finally arrived.  You’re two hours late.”

Eva Braun said, “We had to make sure that the coast was clear.  There were too many people in the general area.  Now we can continue with our negotiation.”

Derrick said, “You brought the wife along.  That’s good.  There’s a change of plan.  More people also want to take part in our negotiation.”

Doctor Megalon said, “That wasn’t part of our agreement.  We swore a blood oath to keep this to ourselves.”

Dan said, “Yet you brought your wife along.  Why don’t you admit that you amended the agreement also.”

Doctor Megalon said, “You’re going to regret the day you crossed my path.  You don’t want me as your enemy.”

Dan replied, “What difference does it make.  Everybody knows you work for Mark Nyler.”

They emerged from the shadows. The husband and wife botanist team had hyper sensitive vision and hearing, yet they never noticed.  It was the last thing they expected, yet here it was unfolding in front of them.  Doctor Megalon raced through his mind for a plan, but found none.  Anton St. Dagon Dragovic, Ute Dragovic, Karl Tollhouse, Kira Foxtrot, Dwight the Cowboy Demon, Christopher Gannon, his father Gene Gannon and his mother Carolyn Johnns Gannon joined the conversation.  They were followed by some Praying Mantis Demons.

Doctor Eva Bruan Megalon said, “It appears as if Christopher Gannon isn’t scared of you darling.”

Christopher said, “Here I was trying to hold a friendly negotiation with you.  You contribute your talents and I toss in my fair share.  Here you are trying to rip me off.  Do you realize what my master plan is?  Do you care to know?”

Doctor Megalon said, “You have enough supernatural artifacts to resurrect two dead bodies, yet you’re using everything for a psychedelic tie dye hippie LSD drug party instead.  What self respecting conservative would be obsessed with the Age of Aquarius anyway?”

Christopher said, “I’m trying to be patient with you.  You got supernatural botany talents that I need.  I have skills and leadership that you need.  If you got problems with my leadership, you should talk to me about it.  However, you’re talking to Derrick Lawrence and Dan Grassbaugh about your problems.  Now, this is something that I don’t understand.  Derrick Lawrence and Dan Grassbaugh are my lowest ranking employees.  How could they possibly solve your problems with me?  Naturally, Derrick Lawrence and Dan Grassbaugh eventually came to me because they don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish.  I told Derrick Lawrence and Dan Grassbaugh that I’ll talk to you about our misunderstanding.  Both you and your wife have provided a good service for me.  I want to hold on to good employees if it’s realistic.  Yet, you confessed directly to the hidden security camera that you can’t control your demon household plants.  How can I trust both of you if your minions are rebelling?”   

Doctor Megalon didn’t show weakness or fear when faced against Christopher Gannon.  He was firm, strong and determined to prevail against his employer.  Doctor Megalon spoke with arrogance and pride.  He said, “I know for a fact that you can’t kill me.  I’m the only botanist who understands these demon household plants.  I gave ordinary household plants the thirst for human and animal meat.  I gave ordinary household plants the ability to speak.  I gave plants an animal style brain to figure things out with.  I never wrote anything down.  Nobody will murder me if I’m the only person who could duplicate my experiments.”

Eva Braun replied, “My husband is correct about everything.  Our experiments are impossible to duplicate.”

Christopher said, “You already told me that your own creations doesn’t respect your authority.  How could your creations respect your authority if you can’t respect my authority.”

Eva Braun said, “You need to talk to my spouse and myself with a great deal more respect.  We don’t need to work with you at all.  We could work for anybody.  You won’t believe how many crime cartels wants to hire us both.”

Christopher faced the Praying Mantis Demons and said, “Just eat both of these fools already.”

Praying Mantis Demon #1 said, “Are you sure?  I thought we can’t eat your employees?”

Christopher Gannon said, “I’m willing to make an exception in your case.”

Praying Mantis Demon #2 said, “Doctor Megalon and his wife deals extensively with vegetation.  Vegetation is our friend.  Yes, we should eat them both.”

Doctor Megalon said with arrogance, “You will be sorry you crossed my path.  I shall have my revenge!”

They had no time to react.  The Praying Mantis Demons were much too fast and powerful.  The Praying Mantis Demons ate Doctor Megalon before eating his wife.  Doctor Adolf Megalon and his wife Eva Braun Megalon were legally dead within seconds.  Christopher Gannon never showed emotions towards the death of his followers.

Christopher said, “Now that we cleared away that unfortunate drama, let’s move on to the next order of business.”

Praying Mantis Demon #3 said, “We have problems.  The Tribulation and his followers vanished back to the afterlife.  The Metalshop women were much too powerful.  We must proceed without the Tribulation.”

Praying Mantis Demon #4 said, “The Megalith and Niles Creagan are almost ready to wake up.”

Christopher said, “That’s wonderful, that’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.”

Anton said, “It’s not a good idea to resurrect the Megalith.  The Megalith was never a team player either.”

Christopher said, “Resurrecting the Megalith and Niles Creagan was the only way I could secure employment from the Praying Mantis Demons.  The Praying Mantis Demons are more effective than Adolf Megalon and his wife.” 

Anton said, “Personally, I thought Doctor Adolf Mullgav Megalon and his wife Doctor Eva Braun Megalon was vastly more effective.  I never had any faith in the Megalith nor do I believe that nuclear war is necessary.  I could never feel so pessimistic about the human race.  Yes, I believe in concentration camps to remove people who are genetically inferior.  However, you don’t need nuclear war to make my dreams of setting up concentration camps possible.  Sometimes, I wonder if there’s something wrong with you.”

Christopher said, “Take great care what you say next.  I could always have you murdered next.”

Anton said, “Is that the way you lead your followers to battle.  You have so little faith in your minions that you need to scare and belittle them every single day.  You need to arm twist somebody who would follow you willingly with the never ending specter of death.  Oh please, I thought you were trying to accomplish something crucial.  Instead, you made me wait because you needed to perform plastic surgery.  What reasonable human being submits to plastic surgery anyway.  Certainly not somebody that I would rather follow.”

Christopher hissed, “If you would rather die than follow me, then your wish is my command.”

Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “I’m feeling very sad.  My son is a broken doll.  I need glue to fix my broken doll.”

Gene faced his son Christopher and said, “We won’t accomplish anything if we keep killing off our allies.  You need to calm down a little bit more.”

Christopher faced his father Gene and hissed, “Shut up father, you’re the exclusive reason why I’m in this mess in the first place.  I thought you’re finally going to accept me.  I thought you were finally going to accept that I never want to be an Olympic gold medal winning swimming champion.  I thought you were finally going to accept me as a cattle rancher instead.  I want to herd cattle around a grassy pasture.  Please let me farm instead of going swimming.”

Gene faced his son Christopher and hissed, “The only way you’re going to be a genuine man instead of a failure is to become a swimming champion.  I laid out a perfectly good pathway to the Olympic games and you urinating on a promising swimming championship career.  You would’ve been legally dead to me without the Age of Aquarius.”

Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “My poor son is a broken doll.  I don’t want to play on the playground with a broken doll.  I want to play on the playground with a doll that is repaired.  Will somebody please repair my son so he won’t act like a broken doll anymore?”

Dwight faced Kira and whispered, “This conversation is out of control.  Please say something to break the tension.”

Kira faced Dwight and whispered, “What do you want me to say?  Nobody ever listened to me in the past.”   

Doctor Jarrel entered the room.  Doctor Jarrel was followed by more Praying Mantis Demons.

Doctor Jarrel said, “The Megalith and Niles Creagan are starting to move their hands.  The time has arrived to move the final phase of our plan into action.”

Christopher said, “This is it everybody.  If you want to bail out, now is the opportunity.”

Tollhouse faced Anton and said, “The Seattle Association for Minority Eradication has been struggling in vain to force acceptance.  Our efforts were greeted with insults and humiliation.  Please don’t ruin this for everybody.”

Ute nodded with agreement as he said, “There are way too many crime cartels fighting for supremacy.  Yet S.A.M.E. is the only crime cartel that has the rightful claim to supremacy.  If we get left behind again in favor of another less proper crime cartel, we could be facing bankruptcy.  It’s either now or never.”

Anton said, “Fine, let’s see what Christopher Gannon has to offer us.”

Christopher said, “You won’t be disappointed because I’m the Lamb, the Man Who Always was There.”

Kira faced her brother and said, “That statement is incoherent.  I never understood what that was supposed to represent.  Why do you keep insisting on being called the Lamb.  You were never religious.” 

Doctor Jarrel lead Anton St. Dagon Dragovic, Ute Dragovic, Karl Tollhouse, Kira Foxtrot, Dwight the Cowboy Demon, Christopher Gannon, Gene Gannon, Carolyn Johnns Gannon and an army of Praying Mantis Demons down the hallway towards a solid brick wall.  Doctor Jarrel bowed down before a statue of Adolf Hitler and the wall slid away to show a hidden room.  A bleach blonde teenage girl, her Mom and her Dad was attached to computers and machinery.  In the center of the room were coffins containing what was left of the Megalith and Niles Creagan.

The Teeenage Girl said, “Please let me go, I promise not to tell anybody.”

Christopher Gannon said, “I can’t let you go Christina Gannon, I’m too busy taking your life away.  I took away your ranch.  I took away your swimming championship career.  I took away your ballet classes.  Everything that has made you unique is now mine forever to control.  Even your hatred for your father now belongs to me.  Once I take away everything, there’s nothing left for you.  I must take your life away.  I don’t want anybody to know that my parents and myself are really a Praying Mantis Demons pretending to be human.”

Christopher Gannon said, “That’s why I need to resurrect the Megalith.  He helped me to kidnap you.  He helped me to take your life away.  Then the Megalith died.  I must resurrect the Megalith as a way of saying thank you.”

The Actual Gene Gannon said, “You won’t get away with it.  Somebody will realize that you’re a fraud.”

The Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “What gives you the right to hijack the life of both my daughter and myself.  What you’re doing is cruel and inhuman.”

Christopher Gannon said, “I’m not human, but rather I’m an insect pretending to be human.”

The Phoney Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “My poor son, he’s a broken doll.  If only I had glue to fix my broken doll with.  The world will be a better place.”

The Actual Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “I never talked like that.  You’re making me look mentally ill.”

The Phoney Gene Gannon said, “All you have to do is submit to the machines and my wife will start talking normal.”

The Actual Gene Gannon said, “You want me to give up my only hope for getting out of here?”

Christina Gannon said, “I understand that you like pretending to be my fraternal twin brother, but it’s not going to work.  Everybody will realize that you’re a fraud.  Everybody will realize that everything you ever done was phoney.”

Christopher Gannon said, “I’m not a fraud.  Just you wait and see.  I’ll prove that I have just as much a right to your life that you got.  My claims to your life is even stronger because I’m born male.  Men are always superior.”

Carolyn Johnns Gannon said, “My son is a broken doll.  Even the baby stroller is broken.”

Anton said, “This agreement keeps getting more interesting by the second.  When were you going to tell me that Christopher Gannon never existed.  What about that car wreck that took the life of your wife.”

Christina Gannon said, “I got drunk and I murdered my prom date.  My prom date was born male you homosexual asshole.  However, I never drove my car off a cliff.  I drove my car into a wooden fence instead.  I never needed plastic surgery.  You needed plastic surgery every time the insect portion of your body started to emerge.  You needed plastic surgery to hide the truth that you’re a fraud.  Let me go you stupid jackass!”

Tollhouse faced Anton and said, “I’m sorry, I had no idea that Christopher was going to drop this game changing bombshell.  I suppose we must follow through with our end of the agreement.  Men are better than women.  What will this woman offer the world?  We don’t need more tampons, nail polish and hair dryers.  We don’t need anymore skirts and dresses. Christina Gannon has nothing useful to offer.”

Ute faced Tollhouse and Anton and he said, “I agree with Tollhouse.  Yes, it would be nice if Christopher told us in advance that he’s a fraud.  However, we don’t need another useless housewife to clutter up our planet.”

Anton faced Ute and Tollhouse and said, “Fine, I shall follow through with the agreement.  I spent less than a minute with Christina Gannon and I already hate her guts.”

Christopher Gannon said, “I always knew that you would agree.  Even Kira telepathically agrees with me.”

Kira said, “Christina Gannon looks like the type of girl who would bully and abuse me.  I shall spit in her face.”

Dwight the Demon said, “Calm down Kira, you don’t want to step near that machine.  That machine hates girls.”

Kira said, “Oh yes, I keep forgetting that.  Sorry, it won’t happen again.”

Kira slapped Christina Marie Gannon in the face before spitting in her face.  Kira wasn’t afraid of anything.

******

Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Chandra Mortigan-Goth, Jerusalem Heilman, Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter and sixty male cattle ranchers were hiding in the barn.  The secret entrance to the hidden basement was within reach.  Deborah saw people enter the secret entrance, but she wasn’t close enough to see how the doorway was opened.

Deborah said, “It’s already common knowledge that I have supernatural abilities.  There’s no need for me to hide anything.  It would be easier for me to break the goddamn door down.”

Dean said, “Oh please, my ego has been wounded enough already.”

Deborah said, “I’m sorry, but we’re faced by a crises that’s far greater than the preservation of your male ego.”

Chandra said, “We already have four Metalshop girls and Jerusalem Heilman’s presence makes five.  We should produce enough flame throwing blasts to break down the door.  We won’t need to kick the door down.”

Brian asked, “Isn’t there an alternative way to enter the hidden basement?”

Jerusalem said, “I never noticed an alternative way into the hidden basement.  If there were an alternative entrance, it would be just as difficult to gain entry into.”

Dean said, “I’m sorry, but my male ego can’t handle it if a girl is physically stronger than myself.”

Deborah replied, “So you want us to just stand here and allow S.A.M.E. to truimph in battle?  Go ahead and walk away if that makes you feel better.  I’m staying here and I’m going to finish this.”

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

DARK SHADOWS ACROSS TEXAS  

Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter advanced towards Kirk.All six men hid behind railroad boxcars as they advanced towards the racist cowboy.Twenty-eight werewolf cowboys were sneaking behindDean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter.All six men didn't know that they were being followed. 

Barrysaid, "Be veryquiet.We're hunting rabbits." 

Dean said, "Shut up!You're going to ruin everything." 

Werewolf Cowboy #1 said, "It's already ruined you goddamn stupidjerks." 

The werewolf cowboys firedbullets at Kirk,Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter.Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter fired bullets at Kirk and the werewolf cowboys.Kirk fired bullets at the werewolf cowboys,Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles,Simon Peter.TheS.A.M.E. racist thugs and the werewolf cowboys took the hardest casualties.

Simon Peter said, "There's too much of them." 

Andrew said, "Hang in there kid, we still need to murder your father." 

Simon Peter said, "Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of." 

Tony said, "We need relief.We can't keep this up forever." 

Dean said, "We're not the only people trying to defeat this maniacs.We need to be patient a little bit longer.I got an idea that could tilt this battle in our favor." 

Tony said, "Whatever you're planning, please hurry up." 

Brian faced Tony and said, "You should have more faith in Dean's judgement.He never messed upbefore.Hewon't mess up today." 

Tony said, "I know, but it's so easy to become discouraged." 

Barry said, "Oh yes, I've been there plenty of times." 

Twenty-five male cattle ranchers loyal to Dean attacked the S.A.M.E. racist thugs from behind.Dean shot the last werewolf cowboy dead.He fired a bullet into Kirk's stomach. 

Kirk said, "No, it wasn't supposed to end like this.You were supposed to help me to glory.You were supposed to play a crucial role supporting the Age of Aquarius.There's still a chance for me to return to life.Kill all the women and I'll return to life.I always return one way or another." 

Kirk sputtered blood as he fell to the ground dead.Dean kicked Kirk's dead body with disrespect. 

Dean said, "Not in this lifetime." 

Dean walked on top of Kirk's dead body as he walked towards the rest of the group.The last of the racist S.A.M.E. thugs were killed by Deborah, Susan and Zoe Stanley.Everybody that dismounted their horses were remounted.The horses were gathered in a cluster.Chandra Mortigan-Goth rode behind Deborah on her horse.Jerusalem Heilman rode his horse towards the group.Sixty male cattle ranchersrode their horses towards the group.

Simon Peter faced Dean and asked, "WhatwasKirk talking about?" 

Dean faced SimonPeter and replied, "Kirk was a sexist pig who was tragic and confused.Don't pay any attention to him.You didgood by joining forces with us." 

Jerusalem said, "We're not finished withChristopher Gannon yet.There's still too much left for us todo." 

Deborah said, 'Bringit on.I'm ready." 

Zoe said, "We're too far away from the Gannon ranch.We won't return fast enough to stop the Age of Aquarius.Should we teleport." 

Susan said,"We should teleport.The enemy is dead and the cattle is on their way to the slaughterhouse.We don't need to hide anything anymore." 

Chandra said, "What is the Age of Aquarius?" 

Deborah said, "I don't have the vaguest idea.It's time for us to find out." 

Jerusalem said, "Alright everybody, be ready for anything." 

Jerusalem Heilman chanted for a few minutes.A massive teleportation portal appeared from thin air.The cattle ranching group rode their horsesinto the teleportation field.The teleportation field vanished when the group entered it.The cattle ranching group ended up in the massive oversized barn on Christopher Gannon's cattle ranch.Everybody dismounted their horses.Deborah walked near the exit, but Jerusalem stopped her. 

Jerusalem said, "Christopher Gannon isn't expecting us to return.We should use the element of surprise to our advantage."

 ******

Forty Praying Mantis Demons approached two coffins in the secret basement of Christopher Gannon’s mansion.  There were already twenty Praying Mantis Demons bowing down in prayer over the two coffins.  A pagan alter have already been built nearby.

Praying Mantis Demon #1 said, “Is the time already arrived?  Can we finally begin the ritual?”

Praying Mantis Demon #2 said, “It’s too soon.  There isn’t enough teenage girl fatalities.”

Praying Mantis Demon #1 said, “We’ve been waiting too long.  I’m already getting impatient.”

Praying Mantis Demon #3 said, “We’ve waited ten years for the chance to resurrect the Megalith and Niles Creagan.  We can afford to wait a few more hours.”

Praying Mantis Demon #4 said, “I’ve heard enough excuses, we must proceed with our plan to raise the dead from the grave.  The Megalith and Niles Creagan must live again.  We’ve endured too much delays and we won’t wait another second.  I want revenge against the Metalshop women for what they done against the Megalith.  The secret super-hero defender of truth and justice must rise from the grave to save us all.  The Megalith and Niles Creagan shall be the architects for the Age of Aquarius!  It was always the Megalith’s dream that the Age of Aquarius would shine upon us all.  Our dream of destroying the Metalshop women shall become a reality when the Megalith walks the Earth once more!”  

Praying Mantis Demon #1 said, “Long live the Megalith.”

Praying Mantis Demon #2 said, “Long live the Megalith.”

Praying Mantis Demon #3 said, “Long live the Megalith.”

Inside the coffin the Megalith’s hand was starting to stir.  All sixty Praying Mantis Demons were scattering about with excitement.  The pagan wicca chanting starting to grow in intensity.

Praying Mantis Demon #5 said, “Christopher Gannon claimed that he could bring the Megalith back to life.  That was always the primary goal for the Age of Aquarius.  Now we can finally begin the nuclear war!”

Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hassle were wearing their swimsuits when they returned to the hot tub.Angela Heilman,VanessaWheel, her daughter Rebekah Catherine Wheel, Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior,Nehko-Chan Fugiyama, her biologicdaughter Mitchie Nakatani,her step-daughter Kyasi Tea, Poetic Justice, her sister Psychedelic Justice andTatiana Dragovicwere already waiting for them both.Beach Boysalbums were playing on the vinyl phonograph record player.

Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hassle jumped into the hot tub.Joshua in particular was sexually turned on by the sight of so many pretty women.Joshua was sitting betweenRebekah Catherine and Tatiana.Atilla was sitting betweenKyasi and Mitchie.

Alison said, "You finally chose to join us.Angela was afraid that you skipped out on us."

Angela said, "There was nasty rumors about what you gentlemen were doing inside a hot tub thatgot me worried.I hope none of those rumors were true."

Joshua said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Angela said, "Good.Let's keep it that way."

Poetic said, "GiveHank, Joshua and Atilla some credit.They're working alongside us women.They're one of the good guys."

Angela said, "Yes, that's true.However, it took too long for Hank, Joshua and Atilla to realize the truth about Christopher Gannon.That's the issue that I have a problem with."

Joshua said, "Oh come on Angela, younever were in denial about anything."

Angelasaid, 'I'ma perfect well behaved girl."

Alison faced Angela and said, "That's a lie and you know it.You were in denial about your alliance with the wrong peopleplenty of times.I always beaten thecrap out of you for your mistake in judgementevery time youscrewed up." Angela said, "That's your perception.I have different theory about that incident."

Poetic said, "It's better if we forgetabout Angela's misguided alliance with Doctor Dream."

Angela said, "Doctor Dream did lead me towards the peacock feather of the twentieth dimension."

Rebekah Catherine said, "That's because Alison twisted his arm multiple times just to make it that far.Doctor Dream wasn't going to surrender the peacock feather of the twentieth dimensionon his own.”

Tatiana said, “Look, I’m not trying to sound impatient.  I know you have faith in those girls.  However, I don’t know where the girls vanished to.  They promised to meet us at the Port Lavika Hotel.”

Vanessa said, “Look, I’ve been stuck in that horrible abandoned steel factory for Goddess know how long.  I’m going to collapse if I’m forced back on the battle field so quickly.  Besides, I’m anxious to relax in a hot tub next to a swimming pool after being told that I’m not allowed to do so.  It’s the ultimate flipping the bird gesture.”

Nehko-Chan said, ”Let’s promise ourselves never mention the Tribulation ever again.”

Vanessa said, “You won’t get any arguments from me.”

Atilla asked, “I don’t understand what you ladies are talking about.  Who is the Tribulation?”

Alison said, “You don’t need to worry about the Tribulation.  That jerk is gone forever.”

Psychedelic said, “The abandoned steel factory crises was pure hell.  I wish I were herding cattle around the pasture with Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley instead.”

Poetic said, “I’m tired of getting leftover assignments that Deborah Stanley rejected.  It’s very demoralizing.”

Psychedelic said, “Deborah Stanley never claimed to be perfect.”

Poetic said, “I know that, but I wish Deborah Stanley respected the feelings of other people.”

Kyasi said, “It’s better than washing dishes in a private exclusive country club.”

Mitchie said, “I stopped visiting the Port Lavika Country Club when the forced me to wash dishes instead of playing golf alongside Alice and Cathy.”

Kyasi replied, “Can you believe the blatant racism of the Port Lavika Country Club.  What the fuck was wrong with those people.  Even the racist thugs working for the S.A.M.E. had a better grasp of common sense.”

Angela said, “I know you want to play golf, but what do you think about dishing instead.  Goddess, I’m African and I’m capable of speaking better English than that.  I could’ve played a great round of golf if I had the chance.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Good news Tatiana, the ladies finally arrived.”

Tatiana said, “Yay, now we can get the party started.”

Alison said, “I hope the ladies brought some beer with them.  They keep forgetting to bring along the beer.”

Phyllis Gold, Ning Yuen Po Chu, Rachel Shwartz, Denise Gerda, Corissa Shwartz, Kristina Ruth Randall, Misty Supple, Lori Supple, Rachel Leah Mattes, Eva Petrik, Halle Miller, Jacqueline Makowski, Alexandria Miller, Samantha Petras and Donna Petras teleported next to the hot tub.  They ladies were dressed in matching bikinis.

Tatiana asked, “Did you bring the beer like you promised?”

Phyllis said, “I brought along the beer.  Stop whining about the beer already.  Your telepathic complaints were giving me a goddamn headache.”

Tatiana said, “I’m sorry, but I need to get drunk after the abandoned steel factory incident.”

Ning said, “It’s a shame I missed it.  Phyllis and I were busy having sex with Kirk Welch instead.”

Lori asked, “How did sexual intercourse with Kirk Welch turn out?”

Phyllis said, “Ning and I were forced to murder Kirk Welch in an unprovoked homicidal attack.  Kirk never attacked us, but his hero worship of Adolf Hitler got on our nerves.”

Ning said, “I stabbed Kirk without provocation with a kitchen knife before he could talk about honorary Aryans again.  I know I have prostitute tendencies, but I have my limitations.”

Misty said, “Don’t sell yourself short Ning, you do have positive benefits also.”

Ning said, “That might be true, but my paranoia is running in overdrive.  Nobody notices my positive attributes except for my Metalshop coworkers.  Why is a pleasant girl like me being depicted as violently unpopular.”

Christine Sixteen teleported nearby the hot tub.  The half Caucasian, half Middle Eastern girl was dressed in a black bikini.  She slowly slipped into the hot tub.

Christine said, “Sorry I was late.  I was interrogated for hours by the Texas SWAT squad.”

Lori said, “Oh yes, the Texas SWAT squad can be brutal.”

Christine said, “I had to find a logical explanation for all of the supernatural situations the SWAT squad wasn’t supposed to witness.  I’m not sure any of them actually believed me.”

Alison said, “Hey, it’s worth the effort.” 

Phyllis Gold, Ning Yuen Po Chu, Rachel Shwartz, Denise Gerda, Corissa Shwartz, Kristina Ruth Randall, Misty Supple, Lori Supple, Rachel Leah Mattes, Eva Petrik, Halle Miller, Jacqueline Makowski, Alexandria Miller, Samantha Petras and Donna Petras slipped into the hot tub.  All fifteen teenage girls gathered around Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hassle.  Misty was handing out cans of beer from multiple six packs.

Misty said, “Speak for yourself Ning, I’m expecting my film deal to become a hug hit.  The super-heroin adventures of Metalshop Misty will become a huge hit.  My name shall become a household word.”

Poetic faced Misty and said, “Your film deal isn’t going to work if you keep dying in battle.”

Misty faced Poetic and said, “Gee, thanks for reminding me.  I always wanted to remember that I’m still rough around the edges.  The abandoned steel factory crises wasn’t expected nor appreciated.  Does this mean I’m not going to get a positive introductory evaluation?”

Alison said, “It depends on if our assault against the Gannon Ranch house is vastly more successful.”

Eva said, “That’s not fair Alison, nobody taught me how to fight against Necromancy.  You can’t punish us for what wasn’t taught in the classroom.  Our failure in the abandoned steel factory was the teacher’s fault.”

Rachel faced Eva and said, “Actually, necromancy was taught in the classroom, but you didn’t show up.”

Atilla faced Rachel Leah and asked, “How old are you anyway?”

Rachel Leah faced Atilla and replied, “I’m old enough to have sexual intercourse with you.”

Atilla faced Rachel Leah and asked, “How old would that be?”

Rachel Leah faced Atilla and said, “A proper lady never discusses her age.  You should’ve known better.”

Jacqueline said, “We should make a vow never to challenge the Tribulation to mortal combat anymore.”

Angela said, “It shouldn’t be a problem for us ladies to avoid the Tribulation.  He won’t challenge us anymore.”

Joshua asked, “Who is the Tribulation?”

Rebekah Catherine said, “The Tribulation is somebody you don’t need to be concerned about.”

Joshua said, “The Tribulation is my concern if he’s going to arrive at the Gannon family residence.”

Christine said, “The only thing you need to know about the Tribulation was his misogynist anti-social tendencies.  However, most of the examples I have to offer is classified.”

Atilla said, “I’m not sure I could trust a bunch of girls who are clearly stoned.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Alison and I destroyed the Tribulation before he could reach the Gannon family residence.”

Joshua said, “That’s one thing to be thankful for.”

Halle faced Joshua and Atilla before asking, “Has either of you ever had underwater sexual intercourse?”

Joshua replied, “I certainly could speak for Atilla and myself when I ask, ‘huh?’  Then I’ll continue by hitting my head against the wall.  That’s just too weird for comfort.  What are you talking about?”

Halle faced Joshua and said, “Never mind, it’s not important.”

Psychedelic faced Joshua and said, “Never mind Halle, she’s stoned and drunk right now.”

Joshua faced Psychedelic and said, “Halle certainly looks stoned and drunk.”

Halle said, “Oh man, I look like this because I had several pounds of concrete and steel fall on top of me.  I would’ve been gone for good if it wasn’t for my healing factor.”

Joshua said, “Oh wow, I wish I had a healing factor.”

Atilla said, “I second that statement.  I lost track how many times a healing factor would’ve turned the tide of the battle.  Yes, I always win anyway, but it always took longer.”

Vanessa said, “It’s always a good idea to fight crime with a steady casual pace anyway.”

Rebekah Catherine faced her mother and said, “You’re only saying that because you drank more liquor than I have.”

Vanessa faced her daughter Rebekah Catherine and said, “Hey, I’ve been on the Earth a little bit longer.  I deserve to be tipsy from liquor a little bit more.”

Alison faced Vanessa and said, “That explanation wears thin after a while.”

Kristina Ruth said, “It’s a shame we were forced to murder the Tribulation and his followers.  It’s also a shame that Kallis Kragen is no longer married to Nadine Kragen.  The Tribulation and his followers had a lot of unexplored potential.  Now those wonderful people are gone and we’ll never know what they’re truly capable of.”

Alexandria asked, “You think so?  Are you serious?  Don’t you remember those people trying to murder you?”

Mitchie asked, “Where was Nadine Kragen anyway?”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Who knows where Nadine Kragen vanished to?  Who gives a damn anyway?  I don’t want to be bothered by those fools anymore.”

Samantha said, ”Poor Kristina Ruth got her brains scrambled by the resurrection spell.”

Donna said, “Drugs is a great way to cure Kristina Ruth’s scrambled brains medical predicament.”

Vanessa said, “Illegal drug abuse and alcoholism has always been my ticket to happiness.”

Rebekah Catherine faced Vanessa and said, “Oh goddess, you’re supposed to be my mother.  You’re not allowed to talk like that.  What happened to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.”

Vanessa said, “I celebrated my successful drug and alcohol rehabilitation experience by getting drunk and stoned.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “That defeats the whole purpose of seeking psychiatric therapy.”

Vanessa said, “Stop being so uppity all the time.  Relax and have fun once and a while.”

Christine said, “You could have fun without getting stoned.  I never been sober, but it’s possible.”

Rebekah Catherine said, “Oh Goddess, I’m supposed to be in drug and alcohol rehabilitation also.”

Vanessa said, “Then it’s a good thing you’re celebrating the successful completion of rehabilitation by getting drunk. Hey daughter, we’re in this mess together.”

Tatiana said, “Hey Bekah, your Mother has a good point there.”

Rebekah Catherine and Alison faced Tatiana and said together, “Oh shut up, you’re not helping anything.”

Denise said, “From a strict medical perspective, it’s not a good idea to get drunk and stoned before a major battle.”

Corissa said, “Yes, we already know that.  However, we keep making the same goddamn mistakes over and over.”

Denise said, “Making repeated mistakes doesn’t make it right.”

Kyasi faced Denise and said, “Hey you died and came back to life.  Relax and have some beer already.”

Denise shrugged her shoulders and said, “Yes, I might as well get drunk and stoned.  I may never know if I’m going to die in battle again.”

Kyasi said with a wide smile, “Yes, that’s the spirit.”

The teenage girl really must’ve hated him.  The wound was almost nearly lethal.  It took a few minutes to perform the healing spell.  That was the hardest part.  Mark Nyler dressed into fresh clothing after he was healed.  After a few quick glasses of scotch, he was ready to address the troops outside his mansion.  Mark walked down the staircase as the grandfather clock started to chime.  It was five o’clock in the afternoon.  He walked across the living room and out the side door to the backyard.  Larry Vatican was waiting for Mark Nyler outside the mansion.

Mark asked, “Is everybody present and accounted for?”

Larry said, “The men are ready for battle.  Tonight will be the night that Christopher Gannon dies.”

Mark said, “That’s the answer I was looking for.”

Reinhold Dragovic approached Mark Nyler and Larry Vatican.  Reinhold was both arrogant and proud as he approached the two men.  Reinhold said, “Actually, I was looking for a different response.”

Mark said, “You shouldn’t be here.  Anybody employed by Christopher Gannon will be about as lifeless as those goddamn Metalshop girls.”

Reinhold said, “Personally, I never understand why we’re bothering to fight against each other.  Everybody gathered tonight belongs to the white supremacy movement.  It’s our mutual support for Adolf Hitler that truly should matter.  However, I’m not going to just stand here and allow you to strike the first blow.”

Mark said, “I don’t think you have much choice in the matter.  Larry is about to prove how futile you efforts really are.  Personally, you should’ve stuck to the peacemaking speech you were about to give me.”

Larry faced Reinhold and said, ”You’re about to suffer for your intrusion.  Everybody gathered here are prepared to murder you with extreme prejudice.  I studied and research your behavior.  You claim to be racist, yet you secretly support racial minorities.  You claim to be gay, but you are sexually turned on by pretty women.  An actual gay would be driven to serial killer rage at the briefest mention of femininity.  Women and gay men can’t be in the same room together without a deadly fist fight breaking out.”

Reinhold said, “I don’t understand half of what you just told me, but it doesn’t matter anymore.”  Reinhold pulled out a detonator.  He pressed the detonator and the Nyler mansion exploded into tiny fragments.  Reinhold teleported towards an unknown location.  Mark Nyler, Larry Vatican, Cowboy vampires and cowboy werewolves hid for cover as fragments of the ruined mansion rained upon them all.  It took a few more minutes before it was safe to emerge from hiding again.  Mark Nyler and Larry Vatican was beyond furious when their house was gone forever.   

Mark asked, “What the fuck happened here?  How did that jackass succeed in planting all those bombs without you knowing about it.  I want explanations.”

Larry said, “I’ll have my men investigate Reinhold behavior for the past forty-eight hours.  I promise this won’t happen again.  Christopher Gannon is going to die tonight!”

Doctor Adolf Megalon and Doctor Eva Braun Megalon walked down the hallway inside the cattle ranch mansion. The husband and wife botanist team paused for a few seconds. It was nighttime and nothing could be seen through the window.  Doctor Megalon took a deep breath.

Mark said, "It's almost twelve o'clock.They should be here by now." 

Larry said, "I don't see anything except ourselves." 

Mark said, "I telephoned railroad company in advance.The train should be here right now." 

Chandra said, "Maybe you're watch is broken." 

Mark said, "My wrist watches are always in perfect condition." 

Chandra said, "Hold on, I think I see something." 

There was a vague distant rumble of a freight train rumbling down the railroad tracks.

Mark said, "It's show time people.Get the guns ready.We move forwerd when I give the signal." 

Mark Nyler's posse backed off as the train rolled closer to the train station.It rolled slowly to a stop.

Eddie Kemmer faced the group.He said, "You all did good.Too badonly half of you will make it back to the ranch house alive." 

Jerusalem said,"Hold on a second, you promised a truce." 

Eddie said, "Yeah, but the terms ofthe truce is over." 

Mark said, "That's too bad.I was expecting more of a challenge.A divided front isalways better than a united front.Let'sgo everybody." 

Mark Nyler's posse of werewolf cattle ranchers emergedfrom hiding along with Larry Vatican and Chandra Mortigan-Goth.Deborah looked at Chandra with confusion. 

Deborah faced Chandra and asked, "Hey, wait a minute.What are you doing here?Why are you helping out this useless piece of shit?" 

Chandra said, "Mark Nyler offered a great monthly salary.Why are you helping out Christopher Gannon?" 

Deborah said, "Christopher Gannon offered a great salary too." 

Mark faced Chandra and said, "Hey wait a minute, you told me that you don't know and don't like anybody who works for Christopher Gannon." 

Chandra fired a bullet at Mark Nyler.He hid for cover. Chandra said, "I lied dumbass.Larry Vatican could've told you what a fucked up liar I tend to be." 

Mark faced Larry and said, "Did you know this betrayal was going to happen?" 

Larry said, "Honest, I didn't know that lady was going to double cross us both." 

Zoe said, "Hey Larry, you're a stupid piece of crap.I'm sorry I ever dated you." 

Larry said, "Hey Zoe, the feeling is mutual."

Larry cried out, "You told me that a divided front was better than a united front." 

Mark cried out, "I was wrong." 

Kirk said, "Hey Mark, long time no see.It's a great day to die." 

Mark replied, "Try to get me." 

Dean shot a bullet into Kirk's right shoulder.Krik grunted in pain. 

Dean said, "I always wanted to do that." 

Kirk was still mounted on his horse as he faced Mark and said, "I'll murder you later."

Kirk faced Dean and said, "You just asked for a lot of trouble young man." 

Dean said, "Bring it on jackass." 

Brian faced Simon Peter and asked, "So who should we murder first?" 

Simon Peter faced Brian and replied, "I was going to murder our enemies in alphabetic order." 

Jerusalem faced Brian and Simon Peter and said, "Hey gentlemen, less talking and more killing."

Zoe said, “Don’t get too comfortable, the hard part of the battle has already arrived.”

Susan said, “Goddess, I hate it when you say that.”

Zoe said, “But I always turn out to be correct.”

Susan said, “Yes, I concede that with reluctance.”

Tatiana said, "Actually, the praying mantis creatures werefrequently employed by the Confederate States of America, Adolf Hitler'sNazi regime and the South African Apartheid regime.Therewere vague rumors that the praying mantis creatures also played a role duringboth the Ancient Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.However, nobody lived long enough to find concrete proof.Nobody knowswhereS.A.M.E. has been hiding those creatures." 

Alison asked, "Is it possible to murder thosepraying mantis creatures?" 

Tatiana said, "The only way to murder praying mantiscreatures is to burn them to death." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "Alright, that's so cool!That's the best news I've heard all day!" 

Vanessa said, "I must protest this conversation.Ordering Catherine to set people on fire is like giving coccain to a drug addict.It's a disaster waiting to happen." 

Malthissa Baker said,"The Metalshop is backed into a corner.This is our only option."

Colonel Anatasia DeWitt said, "Rebekah Catherine's pyromania is our best defense.We shouldn't beashamed of our advantages." 

Kiwi said, "Oh yeah, the Christopher Gannon crises have already exploded to unmanageable levels.One more disaster isn't going to make much of a difference." 

Cory said, "I've been keeping track of the news media.Only the Save Cheap Grocery Storemassacre is known to the general public." 

Kiwi said, "Nobody should be aware of the Save Cheap Grocery Store massacre in the first place." 

Cory said, "Too late for that sentiment." 

Johnathon said, "The Metalshophas enoughsupernatural teenage girls on the payroll to brainwash entire cities into submission.The Save Cheap Grocery Store massacre will be forgotten in seconds." 

Alisonsaid, "We could attempt suchlarge scale brainwashing attempt, but we'll be in danger of blowing our cover.It's better to pick our battles much more carefully." 

Tanya said, "That'sbullshit Alison, you never been that cautious in the past."

Tabatha said, "I disagree with that statement Tanya, it makes perfect sense.I hate to admit that because I'm Alison's mortal foe.However, somebody with half a brain will figure out that the Metalshop brainwashes entire cities on a daily basis.We can't afford to be exposed publically." 

Kiwi said, "That's the creed of cowards.The Metalshop girls has enough supernatural power at their disposal to destroy entire cities.The Metalshop girls never needs to be afraid of anything."

Morning arrived a few days later.Happy Yakimoto was an Asian born Federal Bureau of Investigation agent.She was joined by Caucasion F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree, Caucasion F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wife Caucasion F.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta.They were surrounded by police officers outside the front gates of Christopher Gannon's cattle ranch.

Talbert said, "What do you mean we didn't get a search warrant approved.Did you tell those fools who we are and what we do for a living?" 

Happy said, "I repeated the urgency of the situation.The district Attorney didn't care.Gene Gannon has too much political power." 

Mitziadded, "Gene Gannon has a great lawyer too." 

Happy said, "Ohyeah, I don'twant to forget thateither." 

Talbert said, "This is a disgrace.Deborah Stanley is laughing at us." 

Lydia said, "I'm more concerned about Christopher Gannon andSeattle Association for Minority Erradication laughing at us." 

Mitzi asked, "What's S.A.M.E. doing in Texas anywhere.They're far away from their base of operations." 

Lydia said, "S.A.M.E. have operated in Texas for a very long time." 

Happy said, "We should flip a coin.Heads, we knock down Deborah Stanley first and S.A.M.E. second.Tails, we knock down S.A.M.E.first and Deborah Stanleysecond." 

Talbert said, "We should knock them both out simultaneously if we're lucky enough." 

Happy faced Talbert and said, "We never been lucky in the past." 

Talbert faced Happy and said,"We need to be more optimistic."

A car drove up to the large gathering of police officers.Plain clothes police Officer Frida Deck, plain clothes police officer Karla Shepherd and Asian born plain clothes police officer Zinnie Lang and Tracy Meijer Telegramatation exited the car.They approachedF.B.I. agent Happy Yakimoto,F.B.I. agent Mitzi Dupree,F.B.I. agent Talbert Alcutta and his wifeF.B.I. agent Lydia Alcutta. 

Talbert said, "Here you are.What took you so long?"

Frida said, "I was spending most of my time investigatingDoctor Jarrel.He has links to white supremacy terrorism.He cleared out his office just as I was making progress." 

Karla said,"I'm blaming it on Tasha Tillberg.She was calling attention to herself with unnecessary teleportation."  Zinnie said, "We already called attention to ourselves by placing police cars inthe front entrance.Only a blind person would miss thisoutdoor party we're throwing for ourselves." 

Happy said, "I keep insisting that we needed more undercover automobiles.Nobodylistens to me." 

Zinniesaid, "Oh yeah, it's a hard burden to carry around." 

Tracy Meijer Telegramatation said, "What are youpeople going to do to Deborah Stanley when you catch up to her?"  Talbert said, "I don't know.It depends on Deborah, Susan and Zoe's willingness to cooperate."

****** 

They were gathered inside the barn on thePritchett cattle ranch.Tasha Allgood (aka Tasha Tillberg) was dressed in a long flowing dress and decorated with girlish jewelry.She faced Hank Pritchett,his brother Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hassle. 

Tasha asked, "I don't understand this situation.Christopher Gannon partially owns this land,yet he didn't try to take it away.Yet,he had no problems dismantling Tommy Harker's cattle ranching estate." 

Hank said, "Christopher Gannon can't do anything until I'mdead." 

Tasha said, "Oh come on,that racist creephad no problems smashing into an African-American Baptist church, yet he can't storm your land until youdie?" 

Joshua said, "That's one of the reasons why we needed you Natasha.Your sorcery is operating on a level higher than anybody else.We needed that to our advantage." 

Hank said, "You're both my girlfriend and my bodyguard.I can't function without you." 

Tasha lovingly kissed Hank.Tasha said with a girly smile, "It's nice to feel appreciated." 

Atilla said, "We're more in debt to you than you realize Natasha.You must excuseJoshua and I.We have farming chores that are long overdue." 

Joshua said, "Atilla and I will see you both later." 

Hank said, "Don't miss lunch again." 

Atilla said, "It's hard toenjoy lunch when Tashaand you are turning it into a pornographymovie." 

Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle exited the barn.Hank lovingly fondled Tasha's breasts as hekissed her five times.TashaandHank kissed again. 

Hank said with a loving smile, "I never saw a girllike you.My life is much brighter thanks to you." 

Tasha said, "You have no idea how wonderful it is to have known you.I'm so much in love with you." 

Hanksaid, "I love you too lady." 

Hankrested his left hand on Tasha'svagina, moved up her stomach and fondled her breasts again.He kissed Tasha three times before saying, "I have farm chores to do also." 

Tasha lovingly kissed Hank before saying, "I'd rather stay here in the barrn and make love to you." 

Hank lovingly kissed Tashabefore saying, "I could dothat also." 

Hank and Tasha kissed several more times as he slowly removed her dress. 

****** 

There was a massive swimming pool with an attachedhot tub.There was a staircase leading from the elevated wooden platform to a private beach.There was a massive grassy pasture behind the elevated wooden porch.ThePritchett family mansion was to the right of the elevated wooden porch.Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hassle was walking towards themansion when they stoppedat the swimming pool.The elevated wooden porch and theconnecting beach was empty except for the two men.

Joshua said, "How long is Tasha going to live withus?" 

Atilla said, "Tasha never talked about that.It's assuming that she'sreturning to Seattle, Washington when Christopher Gannon is gone." 

Joshua said, "In other words,the romance between Tasha and Hank is temporary." 

Atilla said, "Women like Tashaalways had problems with romantic commitment." 

Joshua and Atilla turned away from the elevated wooden porch and towards themansion.There werethe sound of girls giggling.The two guys turned around to face Angela Heilman,VanessaWheel, her daughter Rebekah Catherine Wheel, Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior, Poetic Justice,her sister Psychedelic Justice andTatiana Dragovicwear swimming suits.The womenwere sitting in the hot tub.

 Joshua said, "Hold on a second, what are you women doing here?" 

There were casual introductions.This was followed with Alison saying, "It's a basic teleportation spell.It saves a lot of money in gasoline." 

Joshua asked, "What are you doing here?Why should I carewhat your supernatural talants are." 

Alison replied, "Calm down, we're working for Congressman Mason Silk.He figuredthat you might need some more help." 

Atilla said, "Joshua and I have some farming chores to do." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "The farm isn't inside the mansion.The farm is behind us." 

Tatiana asked, "Do you have a problem withus living here for a while?" 

Joshua said, "Christopher Gannon isn't going to invite me to any of his parties anytime soon." 

Alison said, "That won't be a problem since we're going to murder Christopher Gannon for you." 

Vanessa said, "Do you have any alcohol here?I've been sober for way too long." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "Mother, you told me that you were going to quit drinking alcohol so damnmuch." 

Vanessa said, "I'm about to fall off the wagon again." 

RebekahCatherine said, "I don't believe this!Mymother is a goddamn drunk." 

Vanessa said, "I'monly going to have one drink.After that, it's soda pop fromnow on." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "Mother, you alcoholic drinking binges always starts with only one drink." 

Joshua said, "You could've told us that more Metalshop women were going to stayhere.I would've been better prepared." 

Poetic said, "It would be more polite if you thanked us." 

Psychedelic said, "Joshua is being ruder than usual." 

Poetic said, "I agree.It'svery disturbing." 

Angela said,"Jerusalem Heilman is my father.Doesthat make the situation more comfortable." 

Joshua faced Angela and said, "No offense lady, butyour father makes me nervous."

Tatiana said, "Get on your swimming suits and join us.There's enough room in the hot tub for everybody." 

Atilla said, "Joshua and I need to get some farming chores done." 

Poetic said,"You weregoing to watchsports on televisioninstead." 

Joshua said, "I wasn't going to watch television." 

Poetic said, "It was the only thing you were thinkingabout.You were going todrink beer and eat potatochips.That's so boring.You do that every weekend." 

Joshua said, "Dear God, you canteleport and read minds." 

Psychedelic said, "Tasha can do all those things too." 

Alison said, "Get on your swimming suits and join us.The water is nice and hot." 

Kyasi Tea teleported from nowhere and kissed the back of Joshua's neck.She briefly pressed her vagina on Joshua’s rear end and her breasts on his spine.  Mitchie Nakatani teleported fromnowhere and kissed theback of Atilla's neck.She briefly pressed her vagina on his rear end and her breasts on his spine.  Nehko-Chan Fugiyama teleported from nowhere and walked towards the hot tub.Nehko-Chan, her biologicdaughter Mitchie and her step-daughter Kyasi were dressed in swimming suits.Nehko-Chan and Mitchie were Japanese.Kyasi was Chinese.Mitchie and Kyasi walked towards the hot tub. 

Nehko-Chan said, "Sorry my daughters and I were late.We teleported to the wrong place.Doctor Dream tried to kill my daughters and myself with enchanted ninjas." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "As long as youarrived safely." 

Kyasi said, "What about those gentlemen over there.Are they going to join us." 

Mitchie said, "I hopethey join us.They look like nice people to hang out with." 

Joshua said with a groan, "Fine, you ladies win.Atilla and I will be back down in a few seconds." 

Atilla said, "Don't go anywhere." 

Alisonsaid with a girlish smile, "I wasn't planning to go anywhere." 

Joshua Pritchett andAtilla Hasslereentered their mansion.

****** 

It was too bright outside for the cowboy vampires to be utilized.Mark Nyler and his army of cowboy werewolves were hiding in the railroad station.Chandra Mortigan-Goth and Larry Vatican were nearby.Chandra promised an ambush with no survivors. 

Mark came from a broken home.He was orphened at an early age.Nobody ever wanted to adopt him.Nobody cared when he crossed the line.Nobody ever attempted an intervention by asking, "What happened to you?"Mark Nyler didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. That's why he needed to do this with or without Christopher Gannon.He needed to prove to everybody that it was wrong to abandon him.He needed to prove to everybody that he still mattered to the world.Already his plan was working.He finally has friends.With Chandra, there was the possible chance for a girlfriend.Yes, everything was finally falling into place. 

Mark asked, "They're not here yet." 

Chandra said, "Wait for them." 

Mark said, "I'm tired of waiting.I want to know if I'm wasting my time right now." 

Chandra said, "Wait for them." 

Mark said, "I'm taking a very huge risk by allowing you to join me.I'll be upset if this blows up in my face.When will Christopher Gannon's cattle ranchers arrive?" 

Chandra said, "Please wait for them.They will be here very soon." 

Mark faced Larry and asked, "Please tell me that this plan was your bright idea." 

Larry faced Mark and replied, "I honestly don't have the vaguest idea what this girl is doing."

Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Jerusalem Heilman,Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles and Simon Peter herded the cattleacross an eight hundred and fifty acre cattlepasture.The malevolent Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnson were riding their horsesseveralfeet ahead.The railroad station was slowly getting closer.The group road their horses alongside a large herd of cattle.Thecattle was to the left ofthe group.The rusted ruined remains of a World War II era tractor was to the right of the group. 

Deborah said, "It's about time we got here." 

Dean said, "Don't get to excited yet.All of our efforts will be meaningless if we don't get the cattle into the railroad cattle cars." 

Deborah said, "Please don't ruin my excitment.I'm trying to have a good day." 

Zoe asked, "'What's up with the tractor?" 

Dean replied, "I don't know.I never bothered to find out." 

Zoe asked, "Who owned this land before the Gannon family came along." 

Barry said, "The Gannon ranch was a merger of six smaller farms.We never bothered to ask what happened to the previous six families who used to own this property.A person lives longer by not asking the important questions."  Susan said, "We were safer being interrogated by the police for the Save Cheap Grocery Store robbery." 

Andrew asked, "How did you three girls end up on the Gannon Ranch anyway?" 

Deborah said, "My triplet sisters and I were here to swim on the private beach.That was it.An afternoon on the beach and then we're on the road again.Suddenly, this asshole puts a gun to my head." 

Andrew said, "Oh yeah, Christopher Gannon doesn't like going swimming on his own beach.He hates it when other people have fun on his beach.Watching people parade around in their swimsuits was considered to be sexually harassing from his perspective." 

Deborah asked, "Going swimming on the beach is sexually harassing." 

Brian said, "Christopher Gannon lost his marbles a long time ago." 

Deborah said, "I would've avoided this goddamn ranch had I known that wearing swimsuits in public was considered to be sexually harassing." 

Dean said, "Hey, I don't mind your presence.I certainly need your expertise."

Deborah said, "Oh comeon, I'm hardly a professional." 

Dean said, "You lasted longer against Christopher Gannon than the standard teenage girl." 

Deborah said, "That's mostly out of luck than anything else." 

Simon Peter faced Deborah and said, "There are teenage girls out there who wish they could be half as lucky as you are."

Jerusalem said, "I hate to admit it, but Simon Peter is correct about his father.Christopher Gannon have raped more underage girls than the standard sex crime offender.He always gets away with it." 

Simon Peter said, "Half of the girls that my father have raped ends up dead.Even the parents would get raped and killed if they got too close to the truth." 

Tony said, "Tommy Harker was killed in a mid-air airplane explosion.That obviously had to be murder one.Yet nobody has the courage to state the actual truth.Too many people are scared of the creep." 

Deborah said, "I don't know if I'll have better luck.I ought to murder Christopher Gannon for accusing me of sexual harassment." 

Jerusalem said, "Oh shit, here comes the minions of Christopher Gannon." 

Deborah asked, "Was I speaking too loudly." 

Jerusalem said, "Merely being born female is enough to provoke those two guys." 

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

THE SECRETS OF HERDING CATTLE ACROSS THE TEXAS PASTURE   

Night have fallen in Kent, Ohio.Shawn Donald Dukakis was also named Shan Daun The Eternal.He wasn't alone in his limosine as it drove through downtown Kent, Ohio.He was joined by his wife Elektra Dukakis, his brother Cassius Dukakis, Father Tucker and his daughter Reverend Katie Gallsworthy.The limousine reached an apartment building nearby Kent State University.

The apartment building was mostly filled with the standard beerfueled college students.Shan Daun also smelled marijuana in the hallways, but he knew such claims would never be admitted to.They walked up the stairs to the second floor.Father Tucker knocked four times before he was admitted to.Shan Daun, Elektra, Cassius and Reverend Gallsworthy followed close behind. 

Tim Gladstone wore blue jeans, an Alabama rock band tee shirt, cowboy boots anda cowboy hat.There were a can of chewing tobacco in his rear pocket.A country music album recorded by Alabama was playing in the background.The room was sparse except for a bed, a fold up table, a half full beer keg andplastic cups littering the floor.The Confederate States of America flag was attached to a wall in the western side of the one room apartment.There was a bathroom in the eastern side of the room.There were a few fold up chairs to sit on.The only windowto the apartment was coveredup withplanks of wood. 

TimGladstone said, "You told me that we're even.Why are you here." 

Father Tuckersaid, "Something came up and I need your help." 

TimGladstone said, "I don't care, my participation have been concluded." 

Father Tucker said, "I have amended our arrangement.I'll kill you right now if you have aproblem with it." 

Tim Gladstone faced Father Tucker and said with a groan, "Fine, whateveryou want."He faced Reverend Gallsworthy andadded, "Your sexy daughter have graced me with her presence again." 

Reverend Gallsworthy said, "I have devoted myself only to GOD.Besides,I'll never have sex withscum like you."  TimGladstone said, "You can't blame a guy with wishingfor the impossible." 

Reverend Gallsworthy rolled her eyes with disgust.She said, "It's better ifyou keep your perversionsto yourself."  Tim Gladstone said, "Whatever you say.What's up this time?"

Shan Daun replied, "Do you know anything aboutWilliam Neibuhr?" 

Tim Gladstone said, "Oh yeah, he's leading a faction of the Yugoslavian born again Christian Vampires.He's been cutting into mydrugdealing business." 

Shan Daun said, "William Neibuhrhas beencutting into my drug dealing business too." 

Tim Gladstone said, "Oh yeah, I've heard about you.It'sa shame that your sons Hal Youngblood, Victor VonDuran and Hennrick Von Duran have vanished.Your daughtersare very pretty.I've heard that they recentlychanged their names toDeborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley.Honestly, what's the point in changing your name andhairstyle only to announce yourself again." 

Shan Daun said, "I'll deal with mythree daughters later.William Neibuhris most important." 

Tim Gladstone said, "I don't understandCongressman Mason Silk.Bornagain Christian vampires are marching across Kent, Ohio.Yet, Congressman Mason Silkis only interested in protecting a herd of cows.It's possible that Congressman Mason Silkhave lost his sanity." 

Father Tucker said, "Don't underestimate Congressman Mason Silk.He's working with an agenda that we don't understand yet.Will you help me fightWilliam Neibuhr?" 

TimGladstone said, "Yeah, I'll help you out.I've been wanting tomurderWilliam Neibuhrfor a very long time.There's an old debtto settle." 

Elektra said,"You'll be properly rewarded for your actions." 

TimGladstone replied, "Of course I'll be properly rewarded for my actions.I don't work for free." 

Cassius said, "At last, Father Tucker knows somebody I could actually relate to." 

Father Tucker said, "Don't get too comfortable Cassius, the worst has yet to come."

****** 

Johnathon Welch was assistant Editor for the same cluster of newspaper and magazines that Cory Jamestown functioned asthe chief executive officer.Though Jamestown and Welch Publications didn't have the same visibility as most ofthe magazine and newspaper competition,they were able to make a dent.Johnathon was still surprised that both Cory and himself were allowed to actually participate in the Metalshop innercircle conferences.Henever thought that the newspapers and magazines that he assisted Cory in the publication for was significant enough to deserve a seat in the inner circle.Cory and Johnathon wasn't going to turn down the opportunity either.

Talcor Heilman,Potter Postlewaite,Malthissa Baker,Lord Newel, his female bodyguard and private servant Product Identification Code 0-76714-90546-7, Kiwi Natil, Tabatha Natil, Tanya Holliday, Colonel Anatasia DeWitt, Congressman Mason Silk, Doctor Cassie Tripoli, Congressman Frank Maurer, Dorothy Maurer, Cory Jamestown, Johnathon Welch, Cardinal Mollvisch and Bernardo Fratticci were gathered in the living room.They were in Lord Newel's hotel room suite in the Port Lavika Hotel.Malthissa looked at the others with concern.The African-American businesswoman wasn't sure why she was still talking to the others gathered in the room. 

Malthissa said, "Jerusalem Heilman have done more for you people than anybody could calculate.What have you done for him in return?Nothing.He could end up dead in that cattle ranch and you people wouldn't care." 

Talcor faced Malthissa and said, "You told me that we wouldn't start the meeting in this way." 

Malthissa faced Talcor and replied, "You made that promise, but I never agreed."Malthissa faced Congressman Silk and said, "You still refuse to respond to my concern.Why should I bother talking to you?" 

Congressman Silk replied, "I warned Jerusalem Heilman not to find employment at Christopher Gannon's cattle ranch.I warned him that it's not safe for an african-American to work for a racist white supemeist.I was right to be concerned.Christopher's African-American businesspartner,Tommy Harker, was killed a few months later.However, I can't launch a full scale assaultwith the police and the media circus gathered atthe front gates of the Gannon Ranch.That would be career suicide.We could only pray to the pagan goddess Judith Din Eiden that Deborah Stanley, SusanStanley and ZoeStanley actually knows what they're doing." 

Malthissacried out, "Oh Goddess,you're actually dependingon DeborahStanley to get anything accomplished.You can't be that stupid.Anybody with a brain knows that Deborah Stanley is only interested in advancing the agenda for her father Shan Daun the Eternal.We stillnever found her brothers Hal Youngblood, Victor Von Duran and HenrickVonDuran.Nothing good will emergeif those three guys are located again." 

Congressman Silk replied, "Hal Youngblood, VictorVon Duran and Henrick VonDuran isn't hiding in the Gannon Ranch." 

Malthissa replied, "Howdo you know for certain?There are rumors floatingaround that the Gannon Ranch has a secret basement.Nobody knows what's actually in that basement.Deborah Stanley is too stupid to make the effort to locate that secret basement.She's too busy herding cattle in the opposite end of the eight hundred and fifty acre Gannon Ranch property.She'll never make it back to the Gannon Mansion in time to stop the Seattle Association for Minority Erradication's plan for the Age of Aquarius."

LordNewel replied, "I suppose you have a better plan." 

Potter said, "This was earlier than I expected, but I might as well." 

Potter got up and opened the door.VanessaWheel, her daughter Rebekah Catherine Wheel, Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior, Poetic Justice,her sister Psychedelic Justice andTatiana Dragovic entered the room and sat down.

Lord Newel said, “I’m not trying to be offensive, but the last thing we need is more immature teenage girls.”

Congressman Silk said, “Is that why you dragged Chandra Mortigan-Goth into the crises.  She was in tears when she snuck into my hotel room while Larry Vatican was flirting with a prostitute.”

Lord Newel asked, “What did Chandra talk to you about?”

Congressman Mason Silk replied, “None of your goddamn business.”

Her fingernails is unpainted and there is dirt found underneath.  Her voice is gruff and impolite. Every other sentence contained a swear word.

She had a direct, take charge type of personality. Her sexual orientation is strictly heterosexual.

She rarely went overboard with her flirtations with the opposite gender. She's a right wing conservative and unapologetic in her hateful criticism of liberals. Catherine Wheel wore a grey leather headband on her head. The grey leather headband was a supernatural artifact that was permanently linked to Catherine's brain and nervous system. 
Alison Taylor is a twenty-two year old Caucasian female who is five feet and five inches. She is a slender woman and her weight is roughly 150 pounds. Alison is a french born girl who speaks fluent French and English. French is her primary language and English is her secondary language.

She had a direct, take charge type of personality.  Her sexual orientation is strictly heterosexual. She rarely went overboard with her flirtations with the opposite gender. She's a left wing liberal and unapologetic in her hateful criticism of conservatives. 

Lord Newelcried out, "Oh no, you've gone too far Potter." 

Alison replied, "Somebody should've told me that this garbage was out of control.Nobody else was making the goddamn effort."

Angela Heilman, daughter of Jerusalem and Malthissa and niece to Potter and Talcor entered the room and sat down.Product Identification Code 0-76714-90546-7got up to prepare beverages for the new arrivals.

Angela said, "I'm sorry I'm late.I needed to make a telephone call." 

Lord Newel faced Potter andasked, "Do you have anymore unnecessary tricks up your sleeve?" 

Alison faced LordNewel and said, "You should be glad that I bothered the show up at all.I should've let you all rot for the idiocy that you've all made.Ok, let's start with the basics.Always throw the enemy off balance.Tatiana Dragovic is Anton St. Dagon Dragovic's daughter.Poetic Justice and Psychedelic Justice are the daughters of Caucasion Dutch South African born racist Billy Justice.They will be the inside women to get inside that goddamn hidden basement."

Lord Newel said, "You better send Poetic Justice and Psychedelic Justiceback toSeattle, Washington.I know for a fact thatBilly Justiceisn't in the Gannon Ranch." 

Alison looked at Lord Newel and replied, "You better shut upbefore I punch you in theface."

Lord Newel said, "I don't want to appear ungrateful, but I don't like the way you were presented to me." 

Alison replied, "I'm sorry, but I had no idea that youtreat my presenceas a personal insult.Let's try again.Oh my Goddess, are you in trouble?Can I helpyou out?Oh wow, you want my help?That's wonderful.Iwould love to help you out." 

LordNewel buriedhis face into his hands before he said, "I don't appreciate your sarcasm." 

Rebekah Catherine said,"We're not getting accomplished with all these bickering.Alison and I are already here.It's not a good idea for Alison and I to travel all this way fornothing."

Kiwi said, "You already recruitedChandraMortigan-Goth to help us out.You might as well utilize Alison as well."  Alison faced Lord Newel and said, "Hold on a second, Chandra is already here, but you don't want me toarrive?What exactly areyou trying to accomplish."

LordNewel faced Kiwi and said, "Thanks a lot." 

Kiwi said, "Alison was going to find it out anyway." 

Tabathafaced Kiwi said, "There's no point in keeping secrets if we blurt it out toeverybody.Claiming thatAlison is actuallysmart enough to figure anything out simply isn't goodenough." 

Tanyafaced Kiwi and Tabatha and said, "You twogirls better shut up while you'reboth ahead." 

Alison said,"Never was there a truthful word spoken."

Rebekah Catherine faced Congressman Silkand said,"Please tell me that my father is mixed up in this messand I'll feel better about this mess." 

Congressman Silk faced Rebekah Catherine andreplied, "Your biologic father Colonel Reginald Wolf isn't involved.Your adopted father Karl Tollhouse is involved." 

Rebekah Catherine faced Congressman Silk and said, "That wasn't the reply Iwas looking for." 

Congressman Silk facedRebekah Catherine and said, "Don't worry, Deborah Stanley already didmost of the work for you." 

Rebekah Catherine faced Congressman Silk and said, "That revelation isn't improvingmy mood." 

Alison faced Rebekah Catherine and said, "Don't worry, we'll survive this mess just we survived everything else."  Poetic said, "Potter Heilman briefly filled us in, but I still don't understand what's going on." 

Bernardo Fratticcisaid, "You're not the only one in this room who is confused."

Psychedelic said, "There's one thing that I don't understand.Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley,Zoe Stanley, Jerusalem Heilman and abunch of other guys have to herd some cattle across eight hundred andforty acres of land.What's taking them so long.It shouldn't take this long to ride a horse across eight hundred and forty acres ofland."  CardinalMollvisch replied, "Nobody wanted Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley to get mixed up in this mess.We should belucky that the other side isclumsy and ineffective.It gives us the opening that we've been lookingfor." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "You keep sayingthat about the Seattle Association for Minority Erradication.Nothing ever seems to kill those jerks off." 

CongressmanFrank Maurer said, "That's because the Seattle Association for Minority Erradication have been lurkingunder the surface.This is our first real opportunity to strike themdown." 

Rebekah Catherine asked, "I'm sorry, but who are you?" 

CongressmanFrank Maurer replied, "I'm Frank Maurer.I recently joined the committee." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "Yippee, good for you.Keepyour goddamn mouth shut if you don't know what you're talkingabout." 

DorothyMaurer asked, "How dare you talk to my spouse like that.He's supposed to be one of your supervisors.You should treat him with more respect." 

Rebekah Catherine replied, "Go to Hell you stupid hag." 

Dorothy Maurer faced Congressman Mason Sik and said, "Excuse me, but I must protest.Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior and Rebekah CatherineWheel will only make the situation worse.We have no time for unproven novices."  Rebekah Catherine faced Congressman Mason Silk and cried out, "Idon't care if she thinks that she's my supervisor.I'm going to hit here if she doesn't shut the fuck up." 

Congressman Mason Silk said, "We're all under stress.We should save the anger for the enemy." 

Rebekah Catherine said, "Oh sure, whatever you say." 

Doctor Cassie Tripoli said, "You shouldtreatyour elderswith more respect." 

Rebekah Catherine facedDoctor Cassie Tripoli and said, "Wait a minute,I'm supposed to murderyou in cold blood according to prophesy.Youhave a lot of nerve to show up in this building." 

Doctor Cassie Tripoli said,"I'm not going toallowthe stupid crackpot prophesies of Doctor Dream andMistress Dream scare me away from doing my job.Besides,the Prophesies of Doctor Dream was wrong about the incident on Istanbul,Turkey." 

Rebekah Catherine replied, "The prophesy aboutthe incident in Istanbul, Turkey failed onlyby a slim margin.Besides, nobody was sure if the estimated date was two years ago or ten years fromnow.The Daydreams of the Camels spell was never truly defeated.The Byzantine era amulet was never recovered from theNightmare Horsemen of a Thousand Lives." 

Doctor Cassie Tripoli said, "Anybody with half a brain could've solved that problem." 

Rebekah facedDoctor Cassie Tripoli and replied, "Well golly, I'm glad we cleared thatproblem up.I wish I could ask you for assistance.However, there's no point since I'm prophesized by Doctor Dream to become your goddamn murderer.Juststay away from me." 

Cardinal Mollvischsaid, "We keep getting sidetracked from all the important issues."

Tatiana said, "The truth is that Doctor Dream have always been more interesting than Christopher Gannon.What was wrong with that Japanese samurai that Doctor Dream sent against Alison and Catherine?Hey dud, you'reAsian!It's time for that goddamn Japanese samurai to goddamn act like it." 

Alison said, "It's funny that you should say that.I defeated thatJapanese samurai withoutmuch of a struggle."  Tatiana said, "I know that the Japanese samurai warrior was feeble, but I was expecting much more of a challenge.  The battle was dull and I was almost bored stiff." 

Alisonsaid, "Hey, I don't mind.If all theJapanese samurai warriors that Doctor Dream sent against us was as feeble as the first one, we'll be in better shape." 

Rebekah Catherinesaid, "We could be so lucky." 

Cardinal Mollvisch said, "What are you girls going to do about Christopher Gannon?" 

Alison said, "I don't know.I never gave it much thought." 

Angela said, "I got a plan.We should challenge Christopher Gannon to battle and murder him." 

Alison said, "There we go.We finally have a plan for dealing with Christopher Gannon." 

Cardinal Mollvisch said, "I could've figured that out without your help.Do you have amore specific plan fordealing with Christopher Gannon." 

Alison said, "Nope, I'm making this up asI go along." 

Lord Newel said, "That's not very encouraging." 

Alison said, "I'm much more effective if I don't thinktoo far in advance."

Poetic said, "An alternative plan might be more effective.We could either exonerate orrecruit Christopher Gannon.Let's face it, Christopher Gannon istrying to accomplish the sameexact goal that we're trying to accomplish." 

Angelafaced Poetic andsaid, "I think you shouldshut up while you're ahead." 

PoeticfacedAngela and said, "Hey, somebody is going to make that suggestion eventually." 

Angelafaced Poetic and said, "Only a moron would recruit a racist jackass likeChristopher Gannon."

Psychedelic faced Poetic and said,"Please don't provoke Angela again.Your argumentswith her neverhas a happy conclusion." 

Poetic faced Psychedelic and said, "Oh yeah, how could I forget the last thumping Angela bombardedmewith." Angela faced Poetic and said, "I only gave you a thumping because you deserved it." 

Congressman Silksaid, "Will you girls please concentrate on the topic." 

Bernardo Fratticcifaced Congressman Silk and said, 'It's about time yousaid something." 

Congressman Silk facedBernardo Fratticciand said, "Better late than never."

Colonel Anatasia DeWitt said, "I never understood thePraying Mantis creatures.I never saw those monsters working for S.A.M.E. before." 

Simon Peter said, "My father was never a logical person." 

Tony faced Susan and said, "Christopher Gannonprobably would've slept with you more than once if you covered yourself in$900.00 jars of creamand covered yourself intrashbags too.He would finally find a girl who could relateto his problems." 

Susan faced Tony and said, "Oh goddess, that'ssuch a disturbing thought.I'm going to have nightmares for years thanks to you." 

Tonyfaced Susan and said, "Hey, you're thegirl who got things started by sleeping with the dummy."

Malthisa Baker was seated at the kitchen table.Shefaced Talcor Heilman and Potter Postlewaite who were also seated.All three African-Americans were eating dinner.Motown was playing on the vinyl disk player.They were inside Malthisa's house one mile away from the Gannon family Ranch. 

Malthisa said, "What's been going on with Jerusalem Heilman?I haven't seen him for an entire week." 

Talcor said, "He's been busy herding cattle around the pasture.Yes, it's taken way longer than usual." 

Malthisa said, "I knew it.Jerusalem is either dead or about to get killed." 

Talcor said, "Jerusalem is tougher than you give him credit for." 

Malthisa said, "Jersusalem isn't smart.He wouldn't be working for a racist bigot like Christopher Gannon if he know what he was doing." 

Potter said, "Somebody has to knock Christopher Gannon down a few notches." 

Malthisa said, "I don't get it!How will hiding in a ten mile gassy pasture going to help knock Christopher Gannon a few notches.He's nowhere near Christopher Gannon anymore.Not close enough to strike with a killing blow.Christopher Gannon is playing you both like fools and he's enjoying it!" 

Potter said, "That's hardly fair.Congressman Mason Silk would never risk Jerusalemn Heilman's life unless there was a long term goal involved." 

Talcor said, "I know there are some tension between our family and Congressman Silk's family, but don't let your judgement get clouded by the tension.Jerusalem Heilman would never get anything accomplished if he's antagonistic right from the start." 

Malthisa said, "I'm not an idiot.I've heard the rumors too.Christopher Gannon is the leading suspect inseveral African-AmericanBaptist church burnings.The Seattle Association for Minority Erradictation is living inside his mansion and using his greenhouse.Christopher Gannon no longer deserves the subtle approach.He's done nothing to deserve our respect." 

Talcor said, "Try to stay calm a little bit longer.Give Jerusalema chance to prove himself to Congressman Silk.Trust me thatwe'll jump in with all guns blasting if he turns up dead." 

Potter said, "I know it's easy to lose patience with Congressman Silk.He makes me angry too.However, he might have the right idea on how to approach the Christopher Gannon problem.Christopher Gannon ismuch too crazy and intelligent for comfort.One wrong move and we could lose our advantage.It took way too long for Congressman Silk to track down Christopher Gannon.We don't want Congressman Silk to waste time searching for that racist creep again."

Alison Shonen Knife Taylor Junior and Rebekah Catherine Wheel entered the room.Alison looked at Potter with a reassuring smile.She said, "Thatracist creep won't be a problem for much longer.I have anidea."

Potter said, "The crises have advanced too far foranybody to fix."

Rebekah Catherine said, "You should have more faith in Alison.She's never wrong about anything."

Chandra Mortigan-Goth sat in the drivers side of the car.Larry Vatican sat in the passenger side.The car didn't move an inch from the parking lot of the Port Lavika Hotel.Chandra and Larry was sharing marijuana.The girl released a groan.  To say that she was annoyed would be an understatement.

Chandra said, "Dear Goddess, why do I get mixed up in these messes." 

Larry said, "There isn't a mess to get yourself out of.Shoot the Pritchett brothers.Bang.Bang.Collect the money.He promised that nobody will ever know." 

"It's never that easy.Congressman Mason Silk is very smart.He'll figure everything out.Not even Lord Newel would be able to protect me from Congressman Silk's wrath." 

"You're exaggerating. 

"You obviously don't know me in general and the Metalshop in particularif that's your attitude.Are you sure you checked for wiretaps." 

"Everything is clean.Let's just move and shot the Pritchett brothers.The dummies deserve to fucking die." 

"I'm waiting." 

"What are you waiting for." 

"I'mwaiting for Congressman Mason Silk to storm out of that hotel, throw open the goddamn car door and slap me in the face.That's the way it worked in the past.My rebellions never worked in the past.Why would it work now.Maybe I should just walk into Congressman Mason Silk's hotel room and tell him that Lord Newel and yourself have pressured me into betraying his trust.It will save me a lot of pain and agony." 

"You're being silly.Nothing wrong will happen.Let's just go and get this murder over with." 

"That's easy for you to say.You don't have big brother watching every move you make."  Chandra looked at the thick file that Lord Newel have given her.She read the contents with a frown.She closed the file with exasperation.  She continued, "There are times when I wonder if Lord Newel have thought this plan through properly.How much money is Christopher Gannon offering to pay Lord Newel." 

Larry said, "What makes you think that Christopher Gannon is behind this?It's possible that Lord Newel also hates Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle." 

Chandra said, "Maybe we should check into the hotel room.I can't kill anybody without agood night sleep."

"You're needlesslyputting off the task." 

"Can youblame me.I have a bad feeling aboutwhat Lord Newel wants me to do.I had a dream last night.I walked into a classroom building atKent State in Kent,Ohio.There were bloodup and down the hallways of the first floor.There were two televisions turned on in one end of the hallway.One televisionwas playing an old film from 1935.The second television was playing an old filmfrom 1941.I don'tremember what the film titles were.Then there werethree snobby cheerleader girls making fun of me.I don't know what it means, but we could be making a mistake." 

"Why can't you have normal dreams at night.I often dream about a herd of deerracing across a grassy plain." 

Chandra turned on the ignition.Thecar drove away from the parking lot.

Mark Nyler was glad it was raining.Rain was good for the crops.He stood on the balcony to his second floor bedroom.He took a sip of wine as he looked at the cattle ranching pasture he owned.His Grandfather Franklin Nyler owned the ranch and when he died, his father Simon Nyler took over.Mark Nyler watched helplessly as a group of teenage girls cornered and killed is father the same way hisgrandfather expired.Those same sort of girls are now closing in on him withthe same sort of aggression.

Mark wanted to be rough with the girls and put them in their place.However, the beauty of the girls have always prevented him from delivering thefatal killing blow.It simply didn't seem proper to violently attack a girl who was so charming, fragile and dainty.At least, that's the way it always appeared before a fight starts.Mark Nyler wasn't a misogynist by choice, but rather as a matter of survival.When he killed a girl, it was always reluctantly.Mark always knew when a girl was going to be troublewhen she starts to dress in tight blue jeans and a sleeveless tee shirt.That was alwaysthe unofficial uniform that those trouble making girls always preferred.Mark always knewthat a secret society sorority existed, but he never had genuine proof.

Mark Nyler interaction with Christopher Gannon wasn't always antagonistic.There was a time when the situation was vastly more pleasent.Gene Gannon always wanted his son Christopher to become a gold medal winning swimming champion.Christopher wanted to be a cattle rancher instead.When his father wouldn't stop his nagging, Christopher became violent.Christopher attacked and nearly killed his father.Gene Gannon nearly died, but was saved whenCarolyn Johnns Gannon enteredtheGannon family mansion.Carolyn Johnns Gannon yelled at her son for being a stupid broken doll and drove her spouse to the hospital.Gene Gannon survived surgery, but stopped talking to his son for an incredible number of years.

After being thrown out of the Gannon family mansion, Christopher Gannon was homeless.Mark Nyler took pity on Christopher andallowed him to stay.It was Mark Nylerwho taught Christopher everything that was needed to become a cattle rancher.When Christopher completed his education,then he betrayed and nearly murdered his mentor.Christopher betrayed and nearly killed Mark with the same knife he tried tomurder his father with.Mark was saved by a posse of vampires and werewolves who took Christopher's place athis ranch.Though Mark Nyler continued to retain his humanity, he knew it was only a matter of time before he too becomes a demon.

With his wine half finished, he walked from the balcony to his bedroom.Mark ordered a vampire cowboy to refill his glass of wine.Mark always drinks at least one bottle of wine a day.Nothing less and nothing more.Mark's life was one of firm rituals and customs.With his wine glass refilled,he walked from the bedroom to his living room.Two people werestanding nearby a couch and surrounded by vampire cowboys and werewolf cowboys.The intruders were composed of a man and a female.Mark was confused. 

Mark asked, "What are these two peopledoing here?" 

Vampire Cowboy#1 said, "They just walked in here.They wantto work for us." 

Mark said, "For starters, I don't hire women.Second, I only hire vampires and werewolves." 

Vampire Cowboy #2 said, "We tried telling them that, but they won't listen."

Werewolf Cowboy #1 said, "I don't trust them.Give us a chance to kill them.”

Mark said, "I don't trust them either.However, I should listen to what they have to say." 

The woman said, "My name is Chandra Mortigan-Goth.My friend is Larry Vatican.I understand thatHank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle has been giving you problems." 

Mark said, "My only problem right now is Christopher Gannon." 

Chandra said, "I understand that.I'm willing to throw the murder of Christopher Gannon into my business deal with you." 

Mark faced Larry and asked, "Are you in agreement with this woman?" 

Larry faced Mark and replied, "Iwas ordered by Lord Fredrick Newel to murderHank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle.Iwasn't under orders to seek employment with you." 

Chandra said, "Hey Larry, I changed the rules.Just deal with it." 

Mark said, "I wasn't planning to murderHank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle.However, I'llemploy you if you're willing to alter your plansto include Christopher Gannon's murder." 

Chandra said with a smile, "Killing Christopher Gannon would be an honor."

Humphry Schumacher entered the greenhouse.The demonic household plants have gotten larger than anticipated.The section of the greenhouse that's reserved for humans have been taken over by the household plants.Soon, there will be nowhere for the Seattle Association for Minority Erradication to congregate at.Soon it will be necessary to tear down the greenhouse because it's no longer big enough.Humphry knew what would happen.It was all part of the plan.Everything was falling into place.

He poured himself a mug of coffee from the relocated coffee brewing machine.He faced the Vegetable.The Vegetable was flanked by vines, ferns, seeds, spores and demonic looking moss.The Vegetable's voice was filtered through chloroform and mucus.

The Vegetable cried out, "Where is my creator.I have instructions that he needs to adhere to."

Humphry replied, "Doctor Adolf Megalon and his wife Eva Braun Megalon are detained by important matters."

"What could be more important than me!"

"There are situations that are far greater than you realize."

"Those situations must be ignored.I feel insulted.Please tell me how Doctor Megalon's selfish mini-crises is turning out.I need to know because my plansare being rudely interrupted by his clownish incompetence."

"You're not being fair."

"I'm not going to cooperate with your plans if Doctor Megalonand his wife continues todismiss me so rudely.Even if he apologizes, I won't want him anywhere nearme anymore.I've outgrown the need for Doctor Megalon and his wife.Soon, I'll outgrow the need for you too."

"Please, you need to calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down.Do you realize how important I am?Do you realize how the animal filth has contaminated the land?My fellow plants can't grow in asphalt and concrete.My fellow plants can't grow in glass and steel.This garbage above and below me must be removed.Do you see metearing your life apart.No, because I respect you.So why are you ruining my efforts to improve and grow.I can't focus on ourplans if you keep gettingin the way.You're a nice man, but you're getting in the way.I don't like it when animal filth is inthe way."

"Doctor Megalon and his wife are talking to the people who own this property.We still need their cooperation." "Youpromised meeight hundred and fifty acres of land all to myself."

"Christopher Gannon doesn't know that yet."

"I don't understand you.You worship the guy you want tokill, but you don't worship me."

RacistMilitant #1 approached Humphryand said, "There are things that we need to talk about in private."

Humphry faced the Racist Militant and said, "I'll be with you in a second."He faced the Vegetable and said, "We'll continue this conversation later."

 The Vegetable cried out,"Don't you dare walk awayfrom me.This conversation isn't finished." Humphry was walking away with an army of racist militants.The Vegetable was starting to lose it.  The Vegetable continued, "You and I will be enemiesfor life if you continue to hinder our dialogue."

Humphry turned around to face the Vegetable.He said, "Hurting me willonly screw up your hopes for survival.You need tobe more patient."

The Vegetable continued to scream hatred and curses.Humphry wasn't listening to the Vegetable anymore.He was starting to get sick and tired of the monster that he partially created.

Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Jerusalem Heilman,Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles and Simon Peter herded the cattleacross an eight hundred and fifty acre cattlepasture.The malevolent Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnson were riding their horsesseveralfeet ahead.Deborah was lost in thought.

Dean lovinglycaressed Deborah's right arm before asking,"Is there anything wrong?"

Deborahreplied, "I'm thinking about DesdemonaBat Isaac.I'm linked to that woman somehow.I'm not sure what exactly that link is.Everything isstill a blur.Where are they?Where is the planets Marak, Lyonesse and Penninillipe?Why is Desdemona Bat Isaac so desperate to get back there that she'll blow this planet to Hell in the process?"

Dean said, "You don't have to fulfill Desdemona Bat Isaac's sick agenda if you don't want to."

Deborah replied with a groan, "Oh Goddess, I wish that were so.However, life is never that simple."

Zoe asked, "How long is this cattle run going to last?"

Dean replied, "We're almost there.There's a railroad on the western edge of the eight hundred and fifty acre cattle pasture.Christopher frequently uses it for loading to the cattle slaughter house."

Zoe said, "That's good.We've been separated from the Gannon mansion for far too long."

Jerusalem said, "Hey, you wanted to herd cattle around."

Deborah said, "Susan, Zoe and I wanted to avoid getting arrested.The three of us would've preferred to hang around the beach instead of this cattle herding drudgery."

Jerusalem said, "Well yes, but you feel better because you're doing this instead."

Deborah said, "I don't feel better.I feel like hitting my head against the wall.Since there isn't a wall for me to hit my head against, I'll use a tree instead."

Jerusalem said, "Whatever gets you through the day."

Deborah said, "Hey, there's a tree over there.I'll dismount my horse and get started right now."

Barry said, "The cows are going to start missing you."

Deborah said, "I don't give a damn what the cows think about me.Those critters are about to get turned into hamburger by the end of the week."

Susan said, "I'm starting to like cows.Maybe it's time for me to become a vegetarian."

Zoe said, "Vegetarian diets are overrated."

Tony said, "It's unbelievable.Eddie Kemmer keeps looking back to us with these hateful stares.He keeps acting like we've all done something illegal.Hah.Eddie Kemmer should be more worried about himself."

Simon Peter said, "Eddie Kemmer always had a chip on his shoulder.I've been trying to get him to relax, but I never made any success."

Tony said, "Eddie Kemmer is going to learn a lot.I know that as a fact."

Brian said, "Suppose we drop off the cattle before we get the chance to kill Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnsonand Luke Johnson?We're almost reached the rainroad with no sign of battle."

Andrew said, "Why wait until we're attacked before we start killing.Let's launch an attacknow."

Deborah faced Andrew and said, "Your suggestingis so tempting.We should make the first move and kill those jerks now."

swimming pool. William took the swimming lane to the left. Richard took the swimming lane in the center. Nathan took the swimming lane to the right.  Nathan faced Richard and asked, "What is he doing here?" 

Richard faced Nathan and said, "We're screwed if we're slower than Gene Gannon and Carolyn Johnns Gannon's fastest olympic level swimmer." 

Nathan faced Richard and said, "At least we're not under excessive unnecessary pressure." 

Richard faced William and asked, "How many laps are we doing?" 

William replied, "We'll be doing six laps. I'll be getting bored if this goddamn race ever took longer than that." 

A male swimmer gave the indication that the race have started. Richard was only focused on himself as he swam as fast as possible to the other side and back again. The next four laps was pretty much the same. He was astonished how fast he raced across the water. It was as if he was born to race across the water at lightening speed. As the race ended, William was punching him and reached for a strangle hold. Nathan swam towards William in defense of Richard.

Other guys jumped into the swimming pool in support of William. Richard and Nathan hit, punched and kicked half of the guys in the swimming team before Gene Gannon blew on the whistle.  Richard when Gene Gannon reached the first floor from the bleachers, but the swimming coach was clearly furious. The fighting stopped. Richard and Nathan pulled themselves out of the swimming pool. 

Richard said, "I was fighting in self defense. You can't disqualify me based only on that." 

Gene Gannon said, "I'll talk to William about his behavior today. However, you're off the team if you turn a formal swimming competition into a boxing competition." 

Nathan faced Gene and asked, "Richard and I are on the swimming team?" 

Gene faced Nathan and said, "Richard and yourself are on the swimming team." 

William faced Gene and yelled, "Those two jerks cheated. There's no way they could swim that fast. You're being ripped off coach. You need to toss those two jerks out of here now." 

Gene faced William and said, "That's enough William. We'll talk about this later." 

William faced Richard and Nathan and hissed, "You two dummies are dead. I'm not going to forget about this insult!"  William tried to physically attack Richard and Nathan, but was restrained by five male swimmers. William stormed towards the men's locker room.

Nathan faced Richard.  Nathan asked with a frown, "Do you still want to do this." 

Richard replied, "Swimming laps in the pool is better than herding cattle around." 

Nathan replied, "I can't argue with your logic."

It took a few hours to drive from Kent State University Airport to a hotel room nearby the university district in Kent, Ohio. Father Tucker drove while his daughter Reverend Katie Galsworthy sat in the passenger side. Obviously, Father Tucker didn't want to get kicked out of the priesthood when it turned out that he had womanizing tendencies. The only realistic solution was to claim that his daughter was adopted. It pained Father Tucker to lie about his daughter's parentage, but he had no choice in the matter. Father Tucker loved God just as much as he loved sexual intercourse with women.

Despite his faults, Father Tucker continued to wear his priesthood vestments. Despite her faults, Reverend Katie Galsworthy also insisted on wearing her priesthood vestments too.  They finally reached the hotel and parked the car. They walked to the second floor of the cheap grungy discount hotel and entered the room. Cassius Dukakis, Elektra Dukakis and Shawn Donald Dukakis were seated in the living room. 

Father Tucker said, "I expected a big league gangster like you could afford to live in a better place. Don't tell me the police is breathing down your neck too aggressively." 

Shawn Donald replied, "I could handle the police. It's William Neibuhr I can't handle. You're a man of God. I'm sure you could figure out this mess my daughter left behind for me. Speaking of which, is this your first born child Katie? I heard so much about you Katie. Nice to meet you." 

Reverend Galsworthy replied, "Nice to meet you sir." 

Father Tucker said, "Where are my manners. Katie, I want to you meet Cassius, Elektra and Shawn Donald. Cassius, Elektra and Shawn Donald, this is my daughter Katie. Now what is the problem." 

Shawn Donald said, "There was a sexually harassing college professor named William Neibuhr. I got sick of his attitude problem so I ordered my daughter Billie Jean Dukakis, Chelsea Dukakis and Assumpta Dukakis to murder him." 

Father Tucker said, "Oh yes, your daughters are making a commotion in the Metalshop high command. They recently changed their names to Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley and Zoe Stanley. They were under the false assumption that changing their names was going to be of any use in their war against polite society." 

Cassius replied, "Nobody is perfect. My nieces try their best despite their failures. However, the mess involving William Neibuhr have gone beyond acceptability." 

Shawn Donald added, "Cassius, my wife Elektra and myself chose to murder William Neibuhr ourselves. We had William Neibuhr crucified to the Christian cross in the worst end of town. We thought that was the end of the creep. However, William Neibuhr rose from the grave three days after his death by crucifiction. Holy water, garlic, the Christian cross, the Star of David even the Koran was useless. We tried everything." 

Father Tucker said, "Of course it won't work. William Neibuhr have become a born again Christian vampire." 

Elektra said, "There's no such thing as a born again Christian vampire." 

Father Tucker replied, "Quite to the contrary, there are more born again Christian vampires than anybody care to admit. There is a way to kill a born again Christian vampire. You need to have a bucket of water blessed by a God hating athiest who desecrated at least one church, mosque or synagogue. A God hating athiest who desecrated all three at least once each is preferred. Then you splash the water on a born again Christian vampire. Then you yell and scream about how much of an idiot God truly is. That's all it takes to murder a born again christian vampire." 

Shawn Donald cried out, "Please tell me you're joking! You're a goddamn fucking priest for crying out loud!"  Reverend Galsworthy said, "I'm afraid it's true. I personally killed at least two hundred born again Christian vampires that way."

It's raining heavily outside the Port Lavika Hotel. Lord Newel's female bodyguard and private servant Product Identification Code 0-76714-90546-7 served tea to Lord Newel, Kiwi Natil, Tanya Holliday, Tabatha Natil, Chandra Mortigan-Goth and Larry Vatican. This time, there was sourdough biscuits involved. Chandra sat back in her seat as she thought about Lord Newel's statement for a few seconds. 

Chandra said, "Let me get this straight. You're using Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle's opposition to the Potteryshop Library Archives as an excuse to murder them. A handful of out of print books is a lousy excuse to murder somebody." 

Lord Newel said, "You don't understand. Desdimona Bat Isaac and the Potteryshop Library Archives was the only show in town for fifty years before Judith Din Eiden's arrival. Judith Din Eiden would never have arrived on Earth if it wasn't for Desdemona Bat Isaac. It's not fair for the Potteryshop Library Archives to be treated so badly." 

Chandra said, "Please don't tell me that you're limiting your grievence to Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle. You don't appear to be the type of man who would simplify a personal crises." 

Lord Newel said, "Have you ever read The Chronicles of the Ancient Pagan Gods of the Potteryshop. Desdemona Bat Isaac actually ranks higher than Judith Din Eiden. In fact, Judith Din Eiden ranks below at least one hundred and firty-nine individual pagan Goddesses. Of those one hundred and fifty pagan goddesses of Marak, Lyonesse and Penninnillipe, the lowest ranking twenty were exiled for life for a failed political coup. Eighteen of those exiled are still somewhere in outer space waiting for a signal to arrive towards Earth. Desdemona Bat Isaac was supposed to lead the charge. Judith Din Eiden was supposed to assist. After the indigenous homo-sapiens were either killed or enslaved, the signal was supposed to be sent through the use of a hidden transmitter. The other eighteen exiled pagan goddessess were supposed to invade Earth and transform the surface and the atmosphere. After building an army of identical goddessess, there was supposed be an invasion of Marak, Lyonesse and Penninillipe and defeat the one hundred and thirty pagan goddesses that remained behind. Congressman Mason Silk never wanted you to know about that. Heaven forbid you should feel lesser about your pagan goddess of choice." 

Chandra said, "What you've just said was a lie." 

Lord Newel said, "The Library Archives of the Potteryshop clearly stated that Judith Din Eiden was both a useless screw up and an unemployable janitor in the triple planets of Marak, Lyonesse and Penninillipe. All three planets were and still are gas giants. I've had my people try to locate those three planets without much success. We simply don't have telescopes powerful enough to make the effort. Killing Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle will expedite the process. Desdemona Bat Isaac will finally complete exactly what the eighteen exiled pagan goddesses still in outer space ordered her to complete. Desdemona Bat Isaac will no longer take orders from a mere janitor anymore." 

Chandra said, "Maybe I should murder Congressman Mason Silk and leave the Pritchett family alone. You're attacking the wrong people. Come on Lord Newel, you've always been sensible." 

Lord Newel, "However, if Hank Pritchett, Joshua Pritchett and Atilla Hassle were the swing votes that Congressman Mason Silk needed to restrict access to the Potteryshop Archives. Without those swing votes, I'll get the majority. Admit it, what I'm suggesting is getting more tempting by the second." 

Chandra frowned as she took a sip of tea. She said, "The Chronicles of the Ancient Pagan Gods of the Potteryshop."  Lord Newel said, "It depends on your willingness to cooperate. I don't want to hinder the Library Archives of the Potteryshop incorporation into the Library Archives of the Metalshop even further than it has already." 

Chandra said, "At least tell me how it's possible for one hundred and fifty pagan goddessess to survive on three gas giants." 

Lord Newel said, "I had my people try to figure that out too. We could be talking about one hundred and fifty fish based aliens that were a cross between octopus, squid, jellyfish and mantra ray. The estimated size of the fish aliens were three hundred miles tall." 

Chandra said, "Please tell me there are pictures in those books." 

Lord Newel said, "It's impossible to draw pictures into stone tablets." 

Chandra said, "Oh yes, my streak of good fortune continues."

Kiwi said, “It’s a proven fact that Hank Pritchett and his brother Joshua Pritchett are committed to disrupting one of the most academic archeological quest in human history.  Imagine what would happen if we could discover the location of the triple planets Marak, Lyonesse and Penninillipe.  Imagine if we could reconstruct the spaceship that Judith Din Eiden and Desdemona Bat Isaac used to transport themselves over here.  Lord Newel needs to continue the financial funding needed to pursue that dream.”

Chandra said, “Lord Newel has enough cash to fund archeology research on his own.  He doesn’t need Metalshop money.”

Tabatha said, “You fail to realize the legal situation that Lord Newel is in.  Lord Newel has been placed under house arrest for embezzlement, fraud and several counts murder one.  He can’t travel outside Seattle without approval from a courtroom judge.  Even then, he can’t leave the goddamn hotel room without permission.  He can’t use any cash from his saving or checking account without permission from a courtroom judge.  We don’t want our research of the Potteryshop library archives to become a matter of public record.  The Metalshop offers the cash we need with the discretion that we deserve.”

Tanya said, “Hank Pritchett and Joshua Pritchett has made it clear that they hate Lord Newel.  They have blocked every pursuit he ever tried to accomplish with Metalshop financial reserves.”

Chandra said, “That’s ridiculous.  Lord Newel never met Hank Pritchett and Joshua Pritchett.”

Kiwi said, “The Pritchett brothers doesn’t need to encounter Lord Newel.  Hank Pritchett have made some rather damaging speeches against Lord Newel.” 

Larry said, “I understand that you don’t want to murder anybody without provocation.  It’s a bad habit that you’re trying to get away from it.  It’s commendable that you’re trying to improve yourself.  However, once you tasted the thrill of killing somebody without provocation, it’s hard to go back to wholesome innocents.  Your hands are contaminated with the blood of innocent people forever.”

Chandra said, “I understand what you’re talking about.  Yes, I’ll do it.  I’ll murder both of the Pritchett brothers for you.”

Lord Newel took a sip of tea.  He said, “Thank you.  You have no idea how happy you’ve made me feel.”

It's raining in Port Lavika. It was time to move the cattle to another portion of the pasture. Deborah Stanley, Susan Stanley, Zoe Stanley, Jerusalem Heilman, Dean Erckert, Barry Hodgson, Andrew Jones, Tony Hara, Brian Engles and Simon Peter rode their horses through the pouring rain, the roaring thunder and the bright lightening. It was a path known only by Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnson and Luke Johnson.  Jerusalem pointed at Eddie Kemmer, Kirk Johnson and Luke Johnson.

The African-American cowboy said, "Look at those three. They're smug and arrogant. They're keeping us away from the ranch house on purpose." 

Deborah said, "At least they didn't sell my car." 

Jerusalem said, "Those three jerks can't sell your car until you're dead." 

Zoe said, "Living in Kent, Ohio is looking better by the second. At least Deborah, Susan and I would've gotten better treatment from the police." 

Susan said, "There's nothing we could do about that now." 

Jerusalem said, "How do you think I feel? I haven't seen my girlfriend Malthisa Carter because we never left the pasture. The only women I've seen ever since I left the Gannon family ranch house are the three stooges." 

Deborah said, "Hey, Susan, Zoe and I isn't that stupid."
