ADVENTURES #395
=====================
Jungle Cheesecake Part Five
=====================
(Ultimate Ninja #8 (LNH (C)opyright 1993)
OnomatoPuweeha Person gasped as she viewed the grandeur of the secret
mountain
base that Lagneto kept. It was in the heart of the antarctic land heated by sun workstation servers (those things emit lots of heat!) where dinosaurs
still
roamed the earth... I was called the Savage Place! The mountain wall
opened to
reveal the innards of a very technobabbly advanced base. Lagneto was
greeted
with a sinister smile by Pylon and Girl Next Door.
"Who's the new recruit?!" Girl Next Door said looking over the
nondescript O-PP.
"That is none of your concern! Soon she will be different! I must
find where the Jungle of KLAG is! You assemble the others, I want them
close if
there is need for a strike." Lagneto commanded and Pylon and Girl Next Door hastily left to assemble the others. "Now my dear, come with me."
Through a maze of twisted metalic passages and convoluted doorways they traveled until OnomatoPuweeha Person's head was spinning. She gave up
trying
to find a way out, about the time the two entered a very large hall with a hologram projector in the center of the open room.
"Scan access names to an island of KLAG and display on main view
hologram!" Lagneto said abruptly into the empty room. The computers buzzed with excitement on command and soon an image began to form in the center of
the
room. The image was a satellite topographical map.
As the image materialized it became more and more obvious that Lagneto
knew where it was. A worried look came across his face and then like then
in
hysterical laughter he blurted out. "Hahahahaha! Do you know where this
is!? This is the island that I crashed those dogooders from the LNH!"
"BUT They are dead aren't they!?" Onomato-Puweeha Person said
inquisitively.
"You my dead have not been doing this as long as I have, trust me, they
are alive." Lagneto brooded. "And if they aren't their friends will no
doubt
be searching for them."
"What will we do?!"
"Assemble the troops! We will strike anything that moves!" Lagneto
said madly. Then he mused in a tone of irony. "I wonder if there were survivors... Could they even survive the cannibal nations living on the
island? Hmmmm..."
* * * * * * * * *
"GAAAAHHH!!!" Bad Timing boy was the first to wake in the morning.
"HE... He... He's DEAD!" BadTiming Boy yelled and pointed at the
lifeless body of Cannon Fodder.
"wha!?" Cheesecake Eater Lad jumped up from a restless sleep. He
kicked a sleeping Parking Karma Kid. It was his time on the watch and he
was
fast asleep.
PKKid jumped into action. "WHO GOES THERE!? WHAT IS THE PASSWORD!?"
"Look Cannon Fodder has been MURDERED!?" Bandwagon Chick shrieked.
She had entered the Gilligan hut to see the cause of all the chaos. "Look!" Cannon Fodder's body was exposed in a mangled body form that was just
gruesome enough to pass the fanboy comic standards. RosterwReam's penknife stuck out of the chest of Cannon Fodder and a piece of paper was tacked
through
the knife.
Cheesecake Eater approached the body and removed the pen/knife and
note. Unscrolling the note and turning it up straight he read aloud.
"I am the path leading to no return
Secret of life nobody wants to learn
I am the bird flying to distant shores
If I lose my life then I save yours."
"WAKE Kid Poetry and RosterwReam Immediately!" Opinionated Lad
said determined.
"What? I didn't do that!?" RosterwReam protested. He had been awake
since the initial cry.
"Me neither!?" Kid Poetry cried.
"Someone in this camp is a MURDERER!" Bad Timing boy accused! "A
traitor!"
"Gee, now there's an ORIGINAL PLOT LINE!" Opinionated Lad protested.
"Now calm down we don't know who did this. Maybe someone wanted to put
him out of his misery? Can anyone provide a useful explanation? I promise
if
you confess we will be understanding" Cheesecake Eater Lad tried to reason with the group. No one spoke up.
"Now c'mon someone had to do it." PK Kid said glancing around the room accusingly.
"We can't just sit here and accuse each other!?" Bandwagon Chick said
trying to ease the tension. "We must continue our climb, we will deal with this after we are rescued!"
"I think you are right. I am going to hike to the top of the ridge
today and set up an emergency bon fire. I will then setup a watch for
passing
ships or flight.thingies... Who wants to come with me?"
"I will." RosterwReam spoke up.
Opinionated Lad mumbled. PK Kid wanted to go but you could tell he was uncomfortable about going with a chief suspect. Cheesecake Eater cornered
his
friend by saying, "PK what about you?"
"uh.. Yeah I will go." PK Kid said reluctantly.
Opinionated Lad mumbled.
"I will go too." Procrastination Boy said calmly.
** * *** * ** * *** * **
"THE ISLAND IS GONE!?" Ultimate Ninja looked at a smoldering bubbling
sea where the island of Glak used to be. There was no trace of any
survivors.
The flight.thingy compartment became deathly silent. Deja Dude,
usually able to come up with something cheerful to say gazed on in
disbelief.
Only Renegade Programmer looked on with little emotion, he was munching on a piece of pizza he had salvaged from Theory Man.
"You know theoretically i would say they have a very little chance of
being alive." Theory Man said solemnly.
"Well if your powers have been as successful as your ability to
theoretically predict most anything, that should be good news." Occultism
Kid
added, trying to find hope in the loss.
"THAT's it! We know that they aren't dead!" Deja Dude announced
emphatically.
"How?" Ultimate Ninja looked up from the controls of the
Flight.thingy.
"Well if they were. Cannon Fodder would reappear in the next issue of
this comic! Remember. And he has not been seen since the original issue!
And
if Cannon Fodder has been alive all this time, that must mean the others
are!"
Deja Dude explained smiling.
"You're right!" Ultimate Ninja said excitedly.
"Well then where are they?" Occultism Kid scrambled for an answer.
"They must have crashed on an island... OR something like that."
"I know how to find them." Renegade Programmer said casually.
"WELL TELL US MAN!" Ultimate Ninja clutched at the portly programmer.
"Well, I guess I could be persuaded, if you buy me lunch..." Renegade Programmer smushed his lips together in expectation.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Invisible Incendiary opened the loading docks to the LNH.HQ... IT's
Here, finally! A large semi backed into the dock.
"I don't see anyone here." one of the truckdrivers said.
Invisible Incendiary picked up his note and waved it around and then
reattached it to the main loading door.
"HEY Joe!? Did you see that? Maybe that is a note of instructions!?"
"I dunno, these hero types are pretty weird, Floating notes on the
doors are the least of their powers." the other driver said casually
getting
out a dollie.
The other man grabbed the note and read it aloud.
"Please put all the goods in this room."
"Hey! Look there is a map here too!" the man with the note said.
"Well i would hope so!" Joe said.
Invisible Incendiary opened the doors leading to Ultimate Ninja's
ready room. Laughing to himself as he guided the two delivery men into the room.
"Gee, I would have thought that they would have put this stuff in a storehouse!?"
"Holy Cow! Look at that fish!" Joe said pointing to the Barracuda in
the mounted aquarium. "You ever seen a fish like that, Herb?"
"Nyeah, I caught one of them just the other day!"
Invisible Incendiary sat on a case of Jolt Cola and laughed as Ultimate
Ninja's ready room was being filled with every conceivable caffeinated
drink on
the market.

Somewhere in a future that will doubtfully occur...
The energy of corruption coursed through the frame of wReamicus
Maximus. "Look around you ACOLYTES!" The scene pans out and it is clearly visible that they are standing in the shadow of a ruined LNH.HQ. The
bodies of
dead heroes lay strewn about. Then one of the bodies stirs. It is the
body of
Contraption Man. In horror he reaches for a beacon that seems to be just
out
of reach. wReamicus Maximus notices him and turns on him, gloating...
"LOOK!
One lives!"
"Evil Fiend WHO ARE YOU!? You come from the past!?" Contraption Man
said trying to stay the evil doer hoping to get him to do a long solliloquy
so that he could reach the object he sought.
"I am your destruction! I am wReamicus Maximus, Chief Accolyte of the
forces of DFANDOM... I represent the living continuity error! And I will
now
destroy the past as your future has been destroyed!"
"I have been to the past and I cannot let that happen!" Contraption Man grabbed the beacon and pressed it.
"I KNOW YOU! YOU are CONTRAPTION MAN! One of the LNH! YOU must DIE!"
but wReamicus Maximus is too late... and Contraption Man is wisked away by a crosstime transmat beam. A blast of corruption follows into the transmat beam... Contraption Man's mind is warped in agony as he disappears...
Only to
reappear in the past ... (See System Corruptors/Ultimate Ninja #2 A
Interlude
to see where he comes out.)
"Well, My dear Acolytes, this world has been trashed! Lets go Trash
our previous time!" wReamicus waved his hand and the time portal reopened.
The entire group of accolytes joined in a chorus of evil "Muwahahaha"s with
the
master of corruption.
* * * * * * * * *
[Scene: on the ridge in the past on the island of KLAG ]
"Look! It's a ..." PK Kid stared over the edge and pointed to a white
ball in the distant sky. "...cloud..."
"I wonder what is taking the other LNHers so long to find us!?"
CheeseCake Eater Lad wondered aloud.
"Well when Lagneto attacked the ship, he assumed his blow would
completely destroy us and the vessel. He only managed to get the vessel,
but
thanks to ParkingKarma Kid's incredible parking luck, we managed to survive, only losing the ship." RosterwReam explained arduously.
"Well that was a great exposition summary, but you still haven't
managed to explain why we cannot seem to be found." PK Kid said
impatiently.
"Well it should be obvious that all the tracking devices and beepers we
had with us were disentegrated in the attack!" RosterwReam said disgustedly
at
PK Kid's ignorance.
"OBVIOUSLY!" PK Kid said frustratedly throwing his hands in the air.
"Guys! Look! There is smoke on that part of the island!" Cheesecake
Eater Lad said in alarm.
"I wonder if they are good or bad people." RosterwReam said.
"Or things, Lions, tigers, and bears..." PK Kid said straining to get
a better look.
"We had better warn the others!" Cheesecake Eater Lad said
responsibly.
"Hey! Look over here!" Procrastination Boy, who was just getting to
the trail head, knocked a rock loose and the ground began to tremble. A
door
sized hole in the face of the cliff, the four stood upon, opened wide.
There
was a sigh of air rushing in as the passage opened, and the upon inspection, there was a discernable path leading downward into darkness.
"WOW!" RosterwReam grabbed a twig and immediately had fashioned a
torch, while Cheesecake Eater Lad and PK Kid looked on cautiously.
"You know we really should get to the others before we start out on
this adventure." CheeseCake Eater said even more reluctantly. Adventure welled up in the hearts of the three heros and the curiosity was nearly incontainable.
"Well what if we just looked in a little bit. We can always come back
out..." RosterwReam said stepping into the passage entrance. The light of the torch illuminated RwR's steps a few feet in front of him and he slowly proceeded.
PK Kid had already begun to fashion himself a torch from some of the
kindling that CheeseCake Eater and the others had collected for a signal
fire.
CheeseCake Eater as curious as the others succumbed to the urge and soon he
and
PK Kid were spellunking the deep dark completely negligent of the others
they
had left behind.
Procrastination Boy eventually followed too.
** *** ** *** **
[Scene down at the camp on the island of KLAG]
Bad Timing Boy, Kid Poetry and Opinionated Lad are each trying to
support a very tautery BandWagon Chick who is attempting to get a coconut
from
a high palm. TimeWaster Lad is amusing himself in the background with a
palm
frond.
"Hey BandWagon Chick, tell me about your love for Parking Karma Kid!?"
Bad Timing Boy blurted out smiling. There was no more keeping it in. "WHAOOAHG!" Bandwagon Chick warbled as she attempted not to fall from
the embarrassing question, but the structure of bodies is hardly engineering sound and topples onto the sand. BandWagon Chick grumbles as she wipes the sand off herself and her ever shrinking costume.
"What did you have to go and do that for!" Kid Poetry said annoyed.
"Now we will never know the charms of the fair maiden's heart!"
"OH GREAT! I am stuck here with a bunch of gossipping twerps! If
Bandwagon Chick doesn't wish to talk, well then, she ..." Opinionated Lad
was
the worst when it came to gossip, and he knew he would want to know. "had better tell us soon! " He said grinning.
"Hey Guys! Back Off! I think PK Kid is a nice friend, and nothing
more!" Bandwagon Chick said instinctively.
The LNHers were all disappointed, even TimeWaster Lad. An audible
ahhhh could be heard as their hopes in hearing details of a torid lusty
love
affair were deflated. Then to keep things interesting BandWagon Chick
added,
"Besides! Why should I pair myself up with one handsome hero, when I can
have
a whole LEGION of them!" She winked at the guys who instantly came to
life.
BandWagon Chick sauntered away, into the bushes.
"Woman! No one knows the mystery!" Kid Poetry sighed in admiration.
"You got that right!" Opinionated Lad said smiling.
In fact all the LNHers left in camp were pretty pleased. However that
was about to change. From the bushes near TimeWaster Lad is seen two arms reaching out. They grab the unsuspecting hero and drag him out of site.
"Did you hear something?" Bad Timing Boy spoke up. "Where is
TimeWaster?"
"I don't know and I don't care." Opinionate Lad said, then looking up
at the coconut tree said. "You know those coconuts look ripe enough, in my opinion they should just FALL off the tree."
And as if on cue they did.
BadTiming Boy is the next to disappear.
"Where did BadTiming Boy Go? He was here just a second ago?!"
Opinionated Lad said vehemently. "He is never here to appreciate my
powers!"
"You know with all of us disappearing it reminds me of a great poem.
And then there were none!"
Opinionated Lad turned toward the voice of Kid Poetry, but by now he
too is gone.
"Ok guys come out! This is no longer funny!" and on cue a horde of
angry natives with human skulls on the end of their spears have the
opionated
one surrounded. In the background is visible a Kid Poetry, Bad Timing Boy
and
Time Waster Lad all gagged and tied to poles!
"Cripes... you can go hide again if you ... wahgnaght!" Opinionated
Lad joins the bound and gagged!
* ** *** ** *
"So now that you have had your fill of food, would you mind filling US
in on your idea." Ultimate Ninja said impatiently.
"Well I just thought, that we being in the net.universe it would be
quite easy to find a given bit pattern given enough information it won't be
too
hard to create a search program that finds the lost heroes rather quickly." Renegade Programmer said linking his portable keyboard into the onboard computer of the Flight.thingy. "I should have this thing going in just a sec..." Renegade Programmer said confidently.
"How will you know how to search for them?" Occultism Kid said gazing
blankly into the screen of scrolling text.
"Oh well we will have to train on some unique features that the
characters have." Renegade Programmer said not even looking up or slowing
to
answer the question. The others looked on despondent. They had no idea
how to
help, and the last thing they wanted to do is get in the way of the guy that was nearly impossible to get him do what you wanted!
"...and now add the jiffy sort and then add a few cofangulation
factors..." Renegade Programmer mumbled as he typed, and then addressing
the
group. "You know one way you could help is find some unique searching
sequence
among the names of your lost heroes while I type this in. I will just hard code the search..."
"Well they all have things that are fairly common on the net... Kid
Poetry, BandWagon Chick, Procrastination Boy, TimeWaster Lad, Opinionated
Lad,
most of these are well known characterwize, and not all that unique."
Ultimate
Ninja murmurred.
"Well there isn't much discussion about Parking Karma or Cheesecake
Eaters!" Deja Dude added.
"And I don't know about you, but I RosterwReam is the most unique thing around." Occultism Kid said, thinking of his adventures with him.
"... OK so it is RosterwReam, then... I will hard code it and try it out..." Renegade Programmer said. "... Let's give this thing a try...
cc try.c , and link and "
All of a sudden the flight.thingy's engines roared and the vehicle
flung itself back into the sky. "IS IT WORKING!?" Ultimate Ninja yelled
above
the roar of the engines.
"Yeah, I think so... ONly one way to know for sure!" Renegade
Programmer said examining the minimal visual out put he had provided as indicators of program functions. "That will be if we find them! The flight.thingy should bring us directly to the whereabouts of RosterwReam."
* * * * * * * *
"THERE IT IS! NETTER LIBERATION FRONT! THE ISLAND OF KLAG!" Lagneto announced to his crew as they all flew toward the island. Lagneto had
caused
the air to lag beneath them and so those that couldn't fly were propelled
by to
force of the antilag-backlash he had caused in the airflow.
"Look SMOKE!" Onomato-Puweeha Person yelled.
"Oh how lovely!" cried Ice Hot.
"Looks like we will start our search there, eh boss?" Pylon said
grinning.
"NEVER TELL ME WHAT WE DO OR DON'T DO!" Lagneto said indignantly. "I
SAY WE SEARCH THE SMOKE!"
"Good Choice Lag!" Girl Next Door said smiling innocently.
Mistake molded his face into a contorted mocking face and oodled Pylon
just to get on his case. Pylon infuriated yelled, "BOSS! Mistake is making face at me!"
"I was not!" Mistake says checking to see if Lagneto even looks. He
doesn't. So he made another face.
"BOOOOSSSS!?"
"You kids be quiet or I will drop you both here!" Lagneto said
frustratedly... "Stupid fools! I can't take them anywhere!"
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
"Stupid Men! I should say BOYS! Always trying to check out the most
buxom of the hero babes!" Bandwagon Chick mumbled to herself. "For once I would love a man that was more than just a bunch of hormones... Someone who really like to cuddle. And be warm and nice, and ...it wouldn't hurt if he were cute... Well who am I fooling!? I am in a comic world, there is no
such thing..."
Just then Bandwagon Chick's conversation is interrupted by rustling in
the bushes. It is just about enough. Bandwagon Chick had obliged the
fellows
with a little flirt, but to follow her into the woods, and evesdrop! well
that
was the final straw!
"All Right Come out of the bushes!" Bandwagon Chick commanded, picking
up a big stick. "Get out here now."
"Please don't hurt me, I only curious..." A strange voice said as he
stepped from the bushes. "Please, I mean no harm to you."
A young man well built wearing only a loin cloth walked out of the
bushes. His arms were open, He was somewhat fuzzy and had blond hair. His feature were hard to describe, but all that BandWagon Chick could think of
was
of how cute he was. He just looked cute! How could this be!? Was it his special power? Bandwagon chick was not frightened and asked. "Who are
you?"
"I don't know." the man replied. "But the natives call me, Hamster
Man."
"Hamster Man!? Why?" Bandwagon Chick said smiling.
"I think it because of the day of big crash. My dear ones are left me
and not wake up, so I am small and tiny and need love. I am found by a
kindly
hamster and he give me magic and strength and teach me ways of wild. I have the powers of my dear one the hamsters."
"Are you saying you were raised by hamsters?" BandWagon Chick said incredulously.
"Yes, and I can do hamster things!"
"Like what?"
"Run very fast...Climb stuff...Look cute...Chew things...Look cute
Store food in my cheeks... and did I mention ...look cute..."
"Is that it?" Bandwagon Chick said with an eyebrow raised.
"Well, I be warm and cuddly!?" Hamster Man said with a smile.
BandWagon Chick blushed.
"Can you help us get out?"
"us?"
"Yeah me and my friends!"
"Oh you mean the one with the bad timed mouth, and the one with the big
mouth and the one that talks in poems and the one who..."
"Yeah yeah, that's them..."
"Oh well they cannot be helped, they are gonna be eaten."
"WHAT!?!" BandWagon Chick gasped.
"They were captured by Jungle Queen and her fearsome cannibal
warriors!!!"
"Well we have got to do something to rescue them!" BandWagon Chick said determined.
"I will help you, too!" Hamster Man said excitedly.
BandWagon Chick gave a sigh and thought, you know, he really is cute.

"MacLaughlin Man, You're on in two minutes!" Net.Star yelled into the
entry way where a well dressed politician, aged and onery.
"Yeah, Yeah I will be on in just a second!" MacLaughlin Man yelled.
"I need more dirt on the LNH! Lately my ratings have skyrocketed since
I started libelling the LNH and I need more dirt!" he muttered to himself.
Just then from the shadows is raised a gun and the figure of a man aiming at the back side of MacLaughlin Man is clearly viewed.
"SHRRRACK!" The gun blows off, the figure of MacLaughlin Man explodes
in blood, the body falls down dead and mangled.The studio bursts with
commotion and in the chaos is heard above the rest, even if it is in
whisper...
"Net.Justice is served!"
The assasin is gone.
"OH MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOODNESS!" Cried Net.Star.
"What!?" MacLaughlin Man enters from a closet close by.
"You are ALIVE!?" Dramatizer cried dramatically!
"OF course I am! But I am going to have to get myself another stunt
double!" MacLaughlin Man said cynically as he viewed the parts of his unfortunate double strewn across the dressing room.
"Aren't you the least bit scared!?" Romantic Innuendo asked.
"A bit! But at least NOW I have a story! And I know just WHO to
blame for this fiasco!" MacLaughlin Man said sinisterly.

"Uhhh... Guys, I am not that palatable!" Opinionate Lad cried as
his gag was replaced with a turnip.
"Please don't eat me!" Bad Timing Boy cried in panic.
"You know this reminds me of a musical!" Kid Poetry exclaimed. "The
History of the world My sweet, is who get's eaten and who gets to Eat!"
"You know if they are going to tie us up the least they could do is let
us have some terminal or something so we could MUD!" TimeWaster Lad
protested
indignantly.
The native cannibals danced wildly around a large fire. The jungle
beating down in a natural rhythm felt like a great place to dance.
"What are they waiting for!? Why don't they just stew us and get it
over with!?" Bad Timing Boy cried out in panic.
Suddenly the drums went silent, and all eyes turned to the central hut.
The entire hut shuddered as the lead witch in the camp made her way out of
the
ceremonial abode adorned in a HUGE costume and mask that dwarfed her in
size.
"OOOOOOGGABOOOGAHBOAOOSGHA!" The Jungle Queen cried out in
magookian garble.
"Any more wishes, Alladin?" Kid Poetry muttered to Bad Timing Boy who
was biting his lip.
It looked pretty hopeless as the heroes stood on the edge of the fire
pit, preparing for their barbecque. "Well it's been nice knowing you." Time Waster Lad said to Bad Timing Boy.
All of a sudden a comotion from the sky caused the natives to abandon
their apetites. "UBAKA! UBAKA DOO MAHKAHKA NIDDIYONK!" They cried
pointing!
"Oh For JOY! We are saved!" Bad Timing Boy said with relief.
"OH I WOULDN'T SAY THAT!" Lagneto said Smiling! "I would say you are
about to make a jump from out of their frying pan and into our FIRE!"
"Ice Hot will see to that!"
** *** **** *** **
"There Look!?" RosterwReam said excitedly. "THE RUNG OF REVAMP! I
can't believe we found it!"
Cheesecake Eater Lad cautiously approached the holy relic of comics.
"I don't like this, it has been too easy!"
"I say we leave it and get out of here!" PK Kid said. Procrastination
Boy nodded.
"And let this great chance to make history skip us by!? Haven't you
noticed!? No one has come to rescue us because we are NOBODIES! We haven't got any great powers!! The rung of Revamp can change all that!"
"Hey! RosterwReam I know taking care of the roster is a drag, but
you have had some good adventures! " Cheesecake Eater Lad reasoned. "Now let's get out of here before Lagneto catches us!"
"NO! I refuse to let this happen?! If we are revamped we are certain
to get powers that can stop even LAGNETO!" RosterwReam shouted wildly!
"But we have the power to stop him! Don't you see!? Ultimate Ninja
sent us after him because he thought we could do it!" Cheesecake Eater Lad said trying to hold out the intoxicating thoughts of having an energy blast instead of a cheesecake squirter.
"or was he trying to get rid of us." Procrastination Boy said
unsuredly.
"Don't say that!" CheeseCake Eater lad pled. "Don't grab the rung..."
It was too late. RosterwReam grabbed ahold of the rung and immediately
the walls shook... A Deep voice resounded about the cavern walls and
pierced
each of them to their hearts. RosterwReam was encased in a shower of crystaline light and levitated, drawn up in a corona of raw energy of the
rung.
"CHOOSE YOUR POWERS ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSON"
"YOUR DESIRE"
"YOUR WILL" The voice boomed.
"BECOME A HERO ANEW" at the finish of the words RosterwReam is
enveloped in a fountain of light. The power that was there is immediately sucked back into the rung, and RosterwReam is once again standing on the pedestal that held the rung. The rung is inert in his hands, and
RosterwReam
speaks.
"What has happened?" wReamhack murmured?
"You look the same." CheeseCake Eater Lad said scrutinizing his
person...
"Except for your change in costume... There are no more mini roster
listings on your person!" Parking Karma Kid said amazed.
Procrastination Boy just stood amazed, pondering all the neat things he
would do with his new powers.
"Well can you fly?" CheeseCake Eater Lad asked.
"Well no, my powers haven't really changed all that much..." the old RosterwReam said smiling. "But I think this will be for the better."
"Well who are you now?" Parking Karma Kid said.
"I am wReamhack! My powers are computer related! I am a computer
hacker extraordinaire!"
"Oh GOOD CHOICE OF Powers!" PK Kid said sarcastically. "Here we are
stranded on an island that is inhabited by who knows what and the closest computer is thousands of miles away and you happen to wish for change to be
a
HACKER!?"
"Well I will be happier this way!" wReamhack protested.
"It is sorta, ironic. Irony Man would have loved you!" CheeseCake
Eater Lad said smiling. "But at least you can hold the rung! Now lets get
out
of here and find the others." CheeseCake Eater Lad lit another torch (he
had
thought ahead to take extra materials) and headed out of the cavern. The others followed.
"I still think you should have wished for some powers like super
strength or something!" PK Kid said disappointedly.
"It doesn't work that way!" wReamhack tried to explain. The arguing
echoed through the cave.
In the dark Procrastination Boy lagged behind. Hey Guys, I wanna try
that rung thing! I want new powers, He thought. I will tell them later I guess...
* * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
"KAPUTZ!" Renegade Programmer's program fumbled and sputtered. The Flight.Thingy spun out of control.
"What has happened?" Ultimate Ninja grabbed the controls and dragged on
them.
"It isn't possible! How?" Renegade Programmer agonized. "My program
was flawless! I checked it!"
"Well it is happening!" Occultism Kid observed astutely.
"What does it all mean?!" Deja Dude said trying to gain hold of
something stable in the whirling craft...
"IT means according to my calculations we are gonna crash into that
ISLAND!" Theory Man hypothesized frantically.
Just then Ultimate Ninja managed to gain control of the flight.thingy.
"I HAD A lock on HIM! He was on the island!?" Renegade Programmer hit
the keys to his keyboard but it didn't help.
"What has happened!?" Ultimate Ninja demanded.
"RosterwReam is no longer on the island! Or for that matter ANYWHERE
in the net.universe!"
"You mean he's..." Occultism Kid said reluctantly. "... dead ..."
"Worse. He's gone completely! Ceased to exist!" Renegade Programmer
said anxiously...
Just then MTMan came accross the intercom. "Uh guys, guess who just
showed up here?"
"Who?" Deja Dude said sullenly.
"CANNON FODDER!" MTMan said surprised.
All those present in the flight.thingy had an lump in their throats...
Ultimate Ninja looked over the tiny island through tears that could not be
