#288: Hydrogen and Stupidity

[ In Tales of the LNH #287, a single misstep has created ripples
that spread wider and wider. Now, the reactions are coming back
to haunt the LNH. Panta is in trouble again. Ultimate Ninja is
in trouble, and the LNH dining room was the site of a food fight.]

In the front lobby of the LNH, the receptionist began straightening
up his desk and collecting scattered papers. The scene of furious fighting between Ultimate Ninja and four ninja from the Umeshita temple very early in the morning, [as told in Tales #286], the lobby still has splintered chairs, bloodstains and deep gouges in the marble.
The receptionist pulled the wastepaper basket over and tossed in yet
another poisoned shuriken. Captain Cleanup would have been very useful right now but he was reporting the night's damage to Kid Kirby and MultiTasking
Man.
The receptionist's tidying suddenly stopped. He turned to face the
four white-clad gentlemen coming through the LNH's front door.
"Good morning, gentlemen," he said, reaching for the LNH guest
register.
"Um," one of the men grunted.
Their clothes were completely white with hoods reaching down their
backs. Each man carried a small heavy satchel in one hand and a long staff
in the other.
"Whom do you wish to see?" the receptionist offered helpfully. He
studied the four men in vain, seeking to get some idea of their mission.
"The basement." the man in white grunted.
"Sure, um, er. Are you here to help clean up the LNH?" the
receptionist blurted. Maybe Captain Cleanup had hired outside help. The LNH could use it. The dining room was now covered in cheesecake.
"Yeah," the man said, winking at his three companions. "That's the
ticket, sure. We're gonna clean up the LNH fur sure." All four broke out
in a short fit of brutish laughter. "The basement?" he asked again.
"Straight ahead to the stairs, then down," the receptionist answered,
pointing out the direction.
The four white dressed men disappeared down the stairs.

"...four chairs ripped, two tables smashed, and the LNH logo has
to be recolored." Captain Cleanup finished reporting.
Standing in the LNH Computer room with him was Multi-tasking Man and
Kid Kirby. With Ultimate Ninja's disappearance, the three were trying to
make some sense of the madhouse that was the Legion of Net.Heroes.
"I can begin reporting on the dining room." Captain Cleanup offered. Multi-Tasking Man waved him to silence, flamed someone on alt.fan.lemurs,
set up a tiny.tryst, built a battlefleet in a Galactic Bloodshed Game,
changed channels in IRC and reworked his C-to-Cobol generator. The master
of doing everything at the same time looked worried.
"The Legion of Net.Heroes has been getting restless of late. Maybe
they're not busy enough." he commented, while recompiling, posting, and shuffling Gant Charts.
"We've not seen much of Acton Lord, Table or the vile Brotherhood
of Net.Villians as of late, true," Kid Kirby declaimed.
"So the Legion hasn't got much to do except fight among themselves."
Captain Cleanup added. "Except, it's getting hard on the walls."
"We will send them out again into the streets, then!" Kid Kirby
decided. "To combat crime in any form. And to keep the city safe."
"Very good," Multitasking Man added, noting the decision in the LNH
log, adding running commentary in two different languages and illustrations. "About Panta. She is still under suspicion, is she not?" Kid Kirby
said.
"Deductive Logic Man deduced that Panta is innocent after talking
to her," Captain Cleanup said. "He also adds that the receptionist's
girlfriend is 5'2", blonde, and uses too much perfume, but I think Deductive Logic Man is showing off again." He smiled.
"Someone should speak to her about proper behavior," Kid Kirby said. "Self-Righteous-Preacher has already accepted the job."
"Where is Panta now?" MultiTasking Man asked while reconfiguring his
Xwindows.
"She's at Professor X's School for Gifted Youngsters this morning."
"Very well. Is there any other thing to be discussed?"
"I think that covers it. Thanks." Captain Cleanup turned to go.
"The Legion of Net.Heroes must behave itself," Kid Kirby said in
a lower tone of voice. "Who knows what The Serious Writer might think if he should hear of these incidents..."
The three men turned to look at the door at the end of the LNH
Computer Room, the door that DOES NOT OPEN, the sealed door with the letters DRH emblazoned on it.

The four men in white turned at the bottom of the stairs and opened
a steel door marked with 'Mutant Guest Quarters' in faded letters.
Inside, next to the LNH HQ water heater, they found a small empty
room. It was the work of a few moments to clear away half of a wooden box
a pair of faded jeans and a threadworn blanket, and expose an area of the floor.
[The four men are in Panta's old rooms, last seen in the Woody
Scandal, Integrity Quest]
They set to work to sweep the floor clear and then begin marking a
circle and enclosing pentagram in colored chalks. One of the men pulled
green and red candles from his satchel. Another enscribed strange runes
in the walls.
"Very good, very good," said the leader as he observed the prepara-
tions. "May I have the glasses?"
"The glasses?" The third man said.
"The GLASSES OF STUPIDITY!" the leader roared.
The third man scrambled to his satchel and after digging through it
for a second, pulled out a strange device. They looked like the typical
Goucho Marx trick glasses; Fake mustache, fake eyebrows, fake nose. But the lens were thick and green. "Here they are. Is this a good location?"
The leader took the GLASSES OF STUPIDITY and put them on. He blinked
and then he could see it.
The glasses made stupidity visible. It looked like slime dripping
from the walls and ceiling, a pale, almost clear-green molasses, always flowing, slowly pouring from acts of stupidity into the ground. Some places were almost dry. Others were backwashed with the stuff. And only with the GLASSES OF STUPIDITY could one see the ectoplasmic results of one's
unthinking
acts.
"This is a good spot. There's a good fresh flow from this morning.
Let us begin." The leader clapped his hands together and waved everyone into place.
With a low, regular chant, the summoning began.

[ What are they summoning? Will putting the LNH'ers on the street reduce
the amount of stupidity? Or will they increase the crime rate? How will
Panta take yet another lecture from Self-Righteous Preacher? Join us in
Tales of the Legion of Net.Heroes #289.]

Ultimate Ninja #9 (LNH (C)opyright 1993)

The forces of continuity thrashed and twisted under the burden of
wReamicus Maximus' latest conquests. Nothing right was right for the powers
of lost order groaned under the burden of the forces of this one. Power and consequence was about to make it's reentrance...

Scene: The moon in the wasted lair of wReamed Acton Lord. His last battle
had ended in the loss of his life. Silence distilled due to the absence of life. The once mighty fortress was now a lifeless husk. In the main
computer room there was no longer lights or motion, with the exception of a small coin like object. A small spinning disk which held the remains of
the
wReamed Acton Lord. The low gravity had caused it to hover in the center of the room spinning.
Fingers of sunlight entered and tracked up the wall. The fortress
had been so ravaged by the epic clash of hero and fiend that even the
central
room of the was exposed to the outside realm, and sunlight frequently
entered
and left. Once again the earth eclipsed the moon and it fell into darkness, [By "once again", wReam doesn't mean to suggest that lunar eclipses
happen every day but they do happen once every few years --MFP]
but no longer was the room silent. Something stirred in the spinning disk
like a young boy singing soprano. It was soft and eerie but it built. The coin-like disk began to contort and expand, whisps of comic energy flowed
from
the coin and from the darkness came a pale blue and violet light. Life was returning to the base, and in the concentration of chaos, a figure was forming... returning... breathing... living...
"I AM ALIVE!" cried wReamed Acton Lord, stepping from the
culmination of energy and chaos. He looked around his wasted base and
laughed
maniacally. "ULTIMATE NINJA! I am back to destroy thee!"
In the darkness was a flash of metal. The glint of a long metallic rod pointing in the direction of the newly born wReamed Acton Lord. The rod was the nozzle of a very large gun. The laughing fiend turned too late to
observe
flame and death from the object in the dark.
"SHHHRAAAACCKT!" The gun fired, the impact painted the body parts of
the newly ressurected Acton Lord across the ruined computer center. The
light
of chaos faded and wReamed Acton Lord returned to the dead.
"Net.Justice is served." echoed a voice from the shadows, through the
dead and now lifeless moon fortress.

*****************************************************************************

"Take Her down!" Ultimate Ninja plunged the controls of the
flight.thingy toward the earth. He then remembered that perhaps not all of them might not survive the crash and slowed his descent just enough to land safely.
"There I can see, Lagneto!" cried Deja Dude preparing himself to
fight.
"Hey and isn't that Opinionated Lad, TimeWaster Lad, Bad-Timing Boy and
Kid Poetry, all tied up down there?" Occultism KID cried anxiously. "I
think
I will teleport down there and let them loose!"
"By the shadows of shaggath, I am there!" In a flash Occultism Kid
was gone and reappearing by the side of Kid poetry.
"GUESS WHAT GUYS! THE CALVARY'S HERE!!" Occultism Kid yelled as he removed the turnip from Opinionated Lad's mouth.
"So much for the element of surprise." murmurred Opinionated Lad

Lagneto turned and looked around at the appearance of this new hero.
Spotting the approaching flight.thingy he raised his arm in defiance. "I
will crush your puny attempt at a rescue with the greatest source of
net.lag
I can muster!"
The Netter.Liberation.Front suddenly jumped into action. They hadn't antecipated having to fight, so they really hadn't been paying much
attention.
Pylon and IceHot ran toward Occultism Kid who was busy untying the
hostage heroes. Occultism Kid turned and pointed his finger at Pylon and
said, "Trippity Boppity DO!"
Suddenly Pylon yelled, "whoooahaa!" and toppled over on top of IceHot. Temporarily allowing Occultism Kid, Opinionate Lad, Bad-Timing Boy, and Kid Poetry enough time to escape. Time-Waster Lad just wasted his time trying
on
grass skirts.
Lagneto's attack left the flight.thingy suspended in the air. All the
heroes inside were frozen in place, except for one Theory Man.
"this dude, LAGNETO has seen us! He has caught ahold of the
flight.thingy in some sort of stasis field! Theoretically we could be up
here
all day!"
Suddenly on the ground Lagneto was knocked to his feet, relinquishing
control over the flight.thingy to the normal forces of nature. Ultimate
Ninja
quickly reached the controls and wrestled the ship back to a safe landing position.

"Who dared touch my holy persona!" bellowed Lagneto recovering from a
coconut to the head.
"Dare I say it was us!?" Hamster Man said jumping from some bushes
that concealed BandWagon Chick and Hamster Man.
"You know we could have stayed hidden!" BandWagon Chick tried to
explain to Hamster Man who thought he was being courteous by explaining who
had
hit Lagneto in the head with a coconut. But he was so cute about it that
she
found herself giggling instead of scolding him.
"More LNHers!? GET THEM!" Lagneto cried to Girl Next Door and Rush
Fan.
"Hey Cutey, how 'bout coming over to my place!" Girl Next Door said seductively to Hamster Man.
"OK" Hamster Man said blankly. He wandered toward the villainess with
coy innocence.
"No Hamster Man! It's a trap!" BandWagon Chick cried.
"You had best worry yourself about me, honey! YOu know I have the best
tastes in music! You simply can't resist me! Join me join RUSH!"
"RUSH? I've never heard of you!" BandWagon Chick belted Rush Fan in
the gut with a well placed kick. "Evidently you never really made it big!" "WHAT!" Rush Fan charged maniacally, but Bandwagon Chick simply
sidestepped and Rush Fan plowed headlong into a palm tree, knocking himself unconcious from the pressure of his own rant.
"Whereever did you learn to fight like that!?" Girl Next Door said
sharpening her LEE press-on Finger Daggers.
"Oh practically every hero in the comics has some martial arts
training! I just am one on the bandwagon!" BandWagon Chick said
confidently
preparing to take out the Girl Next Door.
"One false move and I will kill your boyfriend! I have already stolen
his heart!" Girl Next Door threatened. BandWagon Chick stopped in her
tracks.

******************************************************************************* (just enough time for us to see what someone else is doing!-- phew!) *******************************************************************************

Jungle Queen who was amazed by the many powers of these paranormal
beings finally had mustered enough courage to organize her cannibal
legions.
"Minnnia Tonka trucky dooo do! Arrrapaho! BLANKAR!" she commanded
and two hundred and forty cannibal warriors covered in colorful grease
paint
and armed with crude wooden spears, surrounded the flight.thingy that
Ultimate
Ninja had just landed.
Ultimate Ninja stepped out on the landing platform and looked over the
legion of cannibals and smiled.
"Now this is what I like! A fair fight!" Ultimate Ninja dove into
the midst of the screaming warriors and began to slice and dice the frantic natives. In impossible poses Ultimate Ninja managed to waste ten or twenty
at
a time.
Deja Dude and Renegade Programmer looked out the Flight.thingy
entrance. Theory Man followed. "Don't you think we ought to help him?"
"Nah. Let him have his fun." Deja Dude said smiling.
Then from the side of the flight.thingy came a cry from Opinionated
Lad. Deja Dude ran to investigate.
"Hey! OL! It's good to see you. What do you want?" Deja dude said
sorta cautiously. Something was out of place.
"Oh yeah, it is good to see you. Oh I just think you are so neat,
come over here." Opinionated Lad said strangely.
Deja Dude approached smiling.
Suddenly Opinionated Lad morphed into Mistake and stuck a nasty knife
through Deja Dude's forehead. Not only did the knife go through his
forehead
but so did Mistake's whole arm. The image of Deja Dude rippled and
dissipated.
Renegade Programmer seeing the baffled Mistake held up a small hand
held device, with a small LCD display and a couple flashing lights. "I knew programming my HP into an image projector would come in handy some day!" Mystake didn't have time to even approach the programmer as he suddenly
fell unconcious to the real Deja Dude's nerve pinch. Deja Dude smiled as he gave a wink to Renegade programmer who had gone back to playing tetris on
his
HP.

*****************************************************************************

"HOOLAH HOOLAH! Walkie walkie kalkie" Time Waster Lad said dancing
in a grass skirt. Even though it was the middle of a battle TWL found the
time waste divertting himself. In fact being so distracted he failed to
notice Pylon had gotten up and was steaming mad. He towered over
TimeWaster
Lad, from behind, overshadowing the insignificant dancing hero.
"Hey where did the sun go?" Time Waster Lad said curiously as he
turned to observe the object blocking the sun was the towering Pylon, who
was
about to piledrive him into the ground. "Hello. So what do you think about the weather we are having?" He said coyly.
"DIE!" Pylon raised his fists to the sky and in one motion went to
smash Time Waster Lad.
"LOok Out!" CheeseCake Eater Lad cried as he burst onto the scene
heroically diving into Time Waster Lad. CheeseCake Eater's tackle barely
moved
the two from sudden destruction as Pylon send a crushing blow into the
earth.
The ground around CheeseCake Eater and Time Waster Lad cracked and flew upward, the force of Pylon's blow sent them both flying.
Parking Karma Kid and wReamhack observed the goings on of their friends
below from a cliff face above the Cannibal camp.
"Boy CheeseCake Eater is crazy! Did you see him run down the
mountain!?" PK Kid observed, panting. "I could hardly keep up with him." "Yeah, I think Procrastination Boy is still in the mountain cave."
wReamhack said looking back up the mountain from where they had come.
Parking Karma Kid then spotted a boulder on the edge of a steep
incline. "Give me a hand, maybe we can park this boulder right on top of
that
brick, Pylon!"
"Amazing how there are always convenient boulders on hand, eh?"
wReamhack observed, putting the Rung of Revamp in his back pocket to help
prod
on the boulder.
"It's barely budging, we need leverage." wReamhack grabbed his spear
he had fashioned, and wedged it into a small crack they had caused while pushing on the boulder. "You push and I will pry."
Suddenly the entire clifface began to crumble and heave. "Get back!"
wReamhack cried grabbing a secure bush.
Parking Karma Kid as well as a large portion of the ledge that he was
on went riding flying down the hill. Remarkably, PK Kid managed to stay on
top
of the avalanche, almost as if he was driving it down the hill.
Cheesecake Eater Lad who had diverted Pylon's attentions to himself,
by taunting him, suddenly became aware of a roaring sound approaching from
up
on the volcano from whence he had come.
"Holy Cow!" he said mouth agape as he saw his friend PK Kid riding an avalanche of boulders and dirt down the side of the volcano! A tiny
wReamhack
could be seen hanging off the edge of the mountain by a bush.
Pylon intent on smashing Cheesecake Eater Lad delivered a very close
crashing blow but only managed to hit the earth. However the force of the
blow
once again sent CheeseCake Eater flying into the tops of a very tall palm
tree.
Grabbing on for dear life CheeseCake Eater awkwardly dangled far out of
reach
from Pylon.
"I have you now!" Pylon cried triumphantly, knowing he could easily
rip the palm tree out from the roots.
The avalanche rumbled closer, and deafeningly loud. Loud enough to
catch the attention of Pylon who soon realized he was right in the
avalanche's
path. However before he could even react or even say "oh" Pylon was
burried in
a tumult of rocks, dirt and PK Kid. In fact, the avalanche came to rest
right
on top of the villain brick.
Impossibly, Parking Kid lie unharmed on the top of the pile. Somewhat
dazed and euphoric he gazed up into the air seeing his friend CheeseCake
Eater
Lad dangling from a top of the palm tree above him.
"Anyone get the license number of that sucker!?" PK Kid said blacking
out.

*****************************************************************************

Hamster Man was deep under the power of the Girl Next Door. He kept
mumbling something about "C'mon honey, let's go to the mall." Which
Bandwagon
Chick knew was bad, because she was fairly certain Hamster Man had no idea
what
a mall was... If she didn't act soon, perhaps Hamster Man would suffer permanent brain damage! The Girl Next Door held her "Lee Press-On Finger Daggers" close to Hamster Man's throat.
"I would hate to hurt someone as cute as this one!" Girl Next door
said antagonisticly.
"If you did, I will personally rip your heart out!!" BandWagon Chick
said trying to act viciously.
"Ooooo. Well honey, no one does cat fights better than the Girl Next
Door! SO bring it on!"
Bandwagon Chick held a stick up and prepared herself in a martial
stance.
"Oh what type of martial arts do you practice?" Girl next door said
being conversational.
"Oh none in particular, just whatever is the most trendy!" Bandwagon
Chick said letting her guard down to have a conversation.
Suddenly Girl Next Door lept out at BandWagon Chick slashing her finger
daggers across Bandwagon Chicks shoulder. Blood oozed from the scrape that
was inflicted.
BandWagon Chick whinced from the pain. It would have been a lot worse
had I not used my martial training to dodge the blow, she thought. Then noticing that Girl Next Door's attack had distanced her from Hamster Man BandWagon Chick went in for the attack.

[Insert typical girl fighting girl poses]

Next Panel: Bandwagon Chick is seen over an unconcious Girl Next door,
and Hamster Man is in the background rubbing his head.
"What is a mall?" Hamster Man said cutely.
"Oh it's great, you'll love it! But remember you only go to the mall
with me!" BandWagon Chick said kicking the unconcious Girl Next door.
Seeing the expired Girl Next door on the ground and the scraped up determined Bandwagon Chick over her, ready to beat her senseless, Hamster
Man
said cautiously, "Oh I wouldn't dream of it!"

*****************************************************************************

Onomato Puweeha person observed the battle hesitant to fight the ones
she used to consider her friends. Lagneto and the NLF were not exactly the crowd she was used to, but how could she be an adequate hero in the eyes of
the
LNH!? No one liked her! At least the NLF and Lagneto wanted her, even if
she
was not their type. Looking about the battle scene she observed the
mountain
side fall. And there on the top of the mountain was one spindly hero
hanging
from a bush. It looked like RosterwReam, but he had a different costume on. What was that in his back pocket!? Could it be!? It is the Rung of
REVAMP!
"Lagneto! Up there ! LOOK!" Onomato Puweeha Person yelled anxiously
to Lagneto who was busy trying to Lag Theory Man and Renegade Programmer,
both
of whom seemed to be completely unaffected by his lagging powers.
"What is the cause of your interruption!?" Lagneto demanded. OPP
pointed at the dangling wReamhack and both OOP and Lagneto said in unison.
"The RUNG OF REVAMP!"
"Well Onomato Puweeha Person!? You can fly! Get up there and get it!
I will hold the rest of these people off!" Lagneto turned back to the
battle
at hand.
Deja Dude seeing OPP aproaching his friend RosterwReam turned a gun to
the flying hero but was stopped under the power of the lag that lagneto was emitting.
Half of the island fell silent as Lagneto exerted his lag across the
entire region. All fell silent, except Theory Man who for some reason was theoretically immune to Lag. Even Renegade Programmer's antilag programs couldn't hold back the tremendous force of net.lag... Only Theory Man was unaffected, of course since Theory Man had no real means of attack he was pretty useless. But I digress!

*****************************************************************************

"RosterwReam is that you" OnomatoPuweeha person said helping him back
to safe footing.
"I am now known as wReamhack!" wReamhack said cautiously. "Are you
gonna kill me now?"
"No, silly. I just want the Rung Of Revamp." Onomato Puweeha person
said extending her hand.
"OPP You don't know what you are doing!?" wReamhack tried to
convince
OnomatoPuweeha person of something he was not entirely sure of himself.
"Well
with great new powers come great responsibilities... ummm.... I mean, uh"
"Give it up wReamhack, you have tasted of renewal and you can't tell
me it won't help my ratings either!?"
"Yeah, it might, but are you willing to sell your soul for it!?"
wReamhack pleaded. "Lagneto is not for you!! He will only cause you more greif than you ever guess!"
Onomato Puweeha Person looked at her feet, and then with even more determination said. "You don't seriously think they even know who I am at
the
Legion, do you!? Even that wench All-Knowing-Last-Chance-Whiner-Destiny
Woman
gets more respect than I!" OPP turned with clenched fists. "I will not be
a forgotten character anymore! I want what it takes to be used, and if that means I have to pay the price I will!"
"Ok." wReamhack said quietly, then taking the Rung from his back
pocket he handed it to her and said caringly. "Just remember there are some
at the legion that do care. If you ever need a friend..."
OnomatoPuweeha Person held the Rung up in her hands. Suddenly the earth
began to shake. OPP was encased in a shower of crystaline light and the levitated in a corona of raw energy. A voice once again boomed in the open air...
"CHOOSE YOUR POWERS ACCORDING TO YOUR PERSON"
"YOUR DESIRE"
"YOUR WILL" The voice boomed.
"BECOME A HERO ANEW" at the finish of the words Onomato Puweeha person
was enveloped in a fountain of light. The power that was there is
immediately
sucked back into the rung, and Onomato Puweeha is no more... In her place is every fanboy's dream! Now a shapely and dynamic person OPP looks over her
new
costume and is filled with a sense of excitement. Flying into the air she cries...
" I AM *VAMMO WOMAN*!!! "
"Now I am the sole proprietor and user of the one singular sound
effect!
I am VAMMO WOMAN! And I am the master of "VAMMO!" I am no longer BORING I
am
the essence of the soundeffect! I am VAMMO!"

Suddenly Lagneto was at Vammo Woman's side. Ooogling her, he said,"Now
My dear! You got what you want... And we must leave! But just so that my
dear
LNHers don't go about recharging all their wimpy members I will get rid of
that
object! It is, after all, too dangerous!" Lagneto pointed at the Rung of Revamp and it was projected into the mouth of the central volcano on the island... "Well I wish I could say it has been fun LNH but we must go!" wReamhack grabbed the side of the mountain, it had suddenly lurched to
life. "The volcano is errupting!" wReamhack became aware of one Procrastination Boy still up on the mountain. Running up the steep slope wReamhack spotted the hero just emerging from the cavern. "RUN PROCRAST!
It's
errupting! The volcano is errupting!" Procrastination Boy and wReamhack scaled the mountain, slowly they descended.
"What is wrong with the LNHers below?! If the volcano is going to blow,
why aren't they evacuating!?" Procrastination Boy yelled over the rumble of
the
mountain.
"They must still be under a residual lag from Lagneto!" wReamhack
looked at the approaching danger and the futility of his quest. Suddenly gushes of lava were enveloping the mountain top. The searing heat and explosive substance approached at lightening speed. "We're not gonna make
it!"
At the bottom of the hill was Theory Man and Renegade Programmer, doing
their best to remove the lag from their comrade's systems.
"You know theoretically if we had some help, we could even stop this
volcano!" Theory Man said pessimistically.
"did you say you needed help?!" said a voice from behind. It was
MultiTasking Man, Kid Kirby, Cliche Dude, Sig.Lad, and Invisible Incendiary (although they didn't know it!)
"How are we gonna stop a volcano?" Sig.Lad said asking Cliche Dude.
Deja Dude who was close by strained and tried to say something.
"think cliche" Deja Dude strained to overcome the lag. Then
signalling to both Kid Kirby and Multitasking Man (in his power armor.)
"plug it with boulder!"
"You know it's just crazy enough it might work!" Cliche Dude said
adding to the power of the whole system. As the three launched a collossal rock toward the hot and bubbling volcano mouth. Kid Kirby with the power Kirby, Cliche dude with his cliches and Multitasking Man's Power armor
managed
to lift it and set the stone in place.
"Gadzooks! It worked!" Cliche Dude said in shock.
"There is still Lava approaching! Look!" Exclaimed wReamhack.
"Run away run away!" Cried Renegade Programmer.
"Hey! That's my line!" Cliche Dude said indignantly.
Suddenly the tidal wave of lava that was about to crash on the
heroes cooled and solidified into a wall of lava rock.
"Theoretically I have no idea what just happened."
"Saved in the nick of time!" Cliche Dude gaped.
"Amazing! Somehow all the heat from the lava has been absorbed or sucked out of it!? It froze instantly!" Theory Man exposed. "You know of anything or anyone capable of doing that?"
"Ice hot might could, but look, she is still unconscious!" wReamhack
pointed to Icehot who was still unconscious lying flat in an imprint, like something big had fallen on her.
In the clearing against the lava wall stood Invisible Incendiary. He
sat down from exhaustion. No one noticed the fumes of heat emanating from
the invisible one. Boy, he thought to himself, I have one heck of a case
of
heartburn! I shouldn't absorb so much heat! *************************************************************************** Net.ropolis-- TV studio of MacLaughlin Man... *************************************************************************** "MacLaughlin Man! You are on in ten minutes..." cried a tech man
through MacLaughlin Man's dressing room door.
"Yeah yeah, I know." MacLaughlin man hurriedly put on his suit jacket
and prepared to leave.
A flash of light appeared in front of his exit and out stepped a figure
from the portal.
"MacLaughlin Man?" the figure was shaded from distinct feature for
dramatic effect.
"Yeah, whaddya want?" MacLaughlin Man said cautiously remembering how
one of his stunt doubles was killed by a mysterious shady figure.
"Allow me to introduce my self. I am ..." out of the shadows and into
the light stepped. "...wReamicus Maximus!..."
"so." MacLaughlin Man said shrugging his shoulders.
"So I understand that there is a mystery assasin killing off villains
right and left. Am I not correct?"
"Yeah." MacLaughlin Man wimpered putting his guard back up. "This
assasin killed one of my stunt doubles, thinking it was I!?"
"tragic. I lost a considerable number of my followers to this mad
man..." wReamicus Maximus said with no concern in his voice.
"So what do you propose we do about it?" MacLaughlin Man said
cautiously.
"Well, I propose we turn the heat up on our mutual enemy. The Legion
is either behind the killings or fostering them! We will cause a public
outcry
that will destroy the very fabric of the LNH!" wReamicus Maximus said with cool determination.
"Well what if the Legion isn't behind it?" asked MacLaughlin Man, "Not
that I don't mind slandering their name, that was a plan of mine too!"
"The Noble FOOLS!" wReamicus Maximus yelled dramatically! "Then they
will either capture this assasin or *DIE* *TRYING*!!!!!"
The last panel is the two evil schemers joining into an evil chorus of "MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!!"

****************************************************************************** Back on the Island:

Soon everyone was back on their feet. There was a rejoicing to see
that everyone was alive. And they had captured the Netter Liberation
Front!!
Opinionated Lad and Parking Karma Kid still argued about their
accomplishments on the trip and Kid Poetry frantically scribbled lines of
his
epic poem he was calling a tropical oddyses! wReamhack went right to
Renegade
Programmer and started following him around. After all wReamhack had to
keep
up on the hacker jargon. Bandwagon Chick and Hamster Man talked with
Occultism
Kid about their adventure. TimeWaster Lad pretty much wasted his time to
enjoy
the island and Procrastination Boy put off all his plans to get a souvenir. MultiTasking Man (along with thirty other things), Kid Kirby and Sig.Lad rounded up the unconscious members of the Netter Liberation Front, while Ultimate Ninja, Cheesecake Eater Lad and Deja Dude attended the confused natives.
Jungle Queen still furious that her legions of warriors had been
defeated cried out again pointing at the chief culprit of the slaughter, saying... "Unga bunga bunga EEnga beenga beenga BUNGA!"
"I sure wish I knew what she was saying, then we could tell her to chill out or something!" Ultimate Ninja scratched his head perplexed.
Just then Renegade Programmer handed UN his HP calculator and said,
"Here, I programmed a universal translator into it. It is voice activated,
so you should beable to communicate."
Jungle Queen spoke. "All we want is something to eat!"
Suddenly CheeseCake eater Lad came to life. "Well why didn't you say
so! I have concocted this great recipe for cheesecake! It is the best of
it's
kind!" Then looking around he put his arm around Jungle Queen and smiled, pointing at all the fruits that had been out for the banquet bbq of the LNH. "You see, here! You've got the makings of a FABULOUS CHEESECAKE!"
Jungle Queen nodded and followed CheeseCake Eater Lad to a table where
he started preparing his specialty. "You know Jungle Queen, I think I will call this... ...my...

* * * ***************************************************************************** epilogue:
Ultimate Ninja nodded to the grateful Jungle Queen. All of her
villagers had fallen in love with Cheesecake Eater's concoction and they
wished
to give something to the benevolent Legion. Ultimate Ninja spoke through
the
Universal translator saying, "No no, no shrunken heads please, all we want
is
for you to be happy... Now we gotta be going!" Cheesecake Eater waved and smiled. The Netter.Liberation Front had been secured and the two Flight.thingies lifted off from the ground. Ultimate Ninja smiled under his mask. Finally the LNH had pulled together and done something. Perhaps it wasn't a complete success, but they had all survived, and were all for the better... CheeseCake Eater had really improved his survival skills and was showing great potential as a leader. And the Legion seemed more at ease. wReamhack gazed out the window as the island disappeared from sight and
then remembered a troubling mystery. Turning to Multitasking Man he said,
"You
know there is still one mystery that puzzles me... who killed Cannon
Fodder."
The cabin fell silent.
"You thought someone killed me!?" came a familiar voice over the
flight.thingy intercom.
"CANNON FODDER?!" wReamhack and the others that were stranded on the
island cried.
"Yeah, it's me. I killed myself and rematerialized next issue at
LNH.HQ!" Cannon Fodder explained. "I left that poem so that you would know that I did it!"
"But we thought that was Kid Poetry, er, I mean RosterwReam's penknife
and the spear..." They all tried to reason it out.
"I just figured it was the best way to get help!" Cannon Fodder said
calmly across the intercom. "Besides it isn't like I don't do this all the time! Come on guys! I was just using my powers."
The cabin was silent again for a while as everyone pondered the
sacrifice and the incredible adventure they had just been witness to.
Suddenly Procrastination Boy lept out of his chair and ran toward the
on board restroom. The whole flight.thingy burst into laughter...
The Legion was whole again... ...but would it last?...

He turned to face the<br>four white-clad gentlemen coming through the=
LNH&#39;s front door.<br> &quot;Good morning, gentlemen,&quot; he said, re=
aching for the LNH guest<br>register.<br> &quot;Um,&quot; one of the men gr=
unted.<br> Their clothes were completely white with hoods reaching down the=
ir<br>backs. Each man carried a small heavy satchel in one hand and a long = staff<br>in the other.<br> &quot;Whom do you wish to see?&quot; the recepti=

some idea of their mission.<br> &quot;The basement.&quot; the man in white=
grunted.<br> &quot;Sure, um, er. Are you here to help clean up the LNH?&qu= ot; the<br>receptionist blurted. Maybe Captain Cleanup had hired outside he= lp. The LNH<br>could use it. The dining room was now covered in cheesecake.=
<br> &quot;Yeah,&quot; the man said, winking at his three companions. &quot=
;That&#39;s the<br>ticket, sure. We&#39;re gonna clean up the LNH fur sure.= &quot; All four broke out<br>in a short fit of brutish laughter. &quot;The = basement?&quot; he asked again.<br> &quot;Straight ahead to the stairs, the=

The four white dressed men disappeared down the stairs.<br><br> &quot;...f=
our chairs ripped, two tables smashed, and the LNH logo has<br>to be recolo= red.&quot; Captain Cleanup finished reporting.<br> Standing in the LNH Comp=

he commented, while recompiling, posting, and<br>shuffling Gant Charts.<br=

&quot;We&#39;ve not seen much of Acton Lord, Table or the vile Brotherhoo=

d<br>of Net.Villians as of late, true,&quot; Kid Kirby declaimed.<br> &quot= ;So the Legion hasn&#39;t got much to do except fight among themselves.&quo= t;<br>Captain Cleanup added. &quot;Except, it&#39;s getting hard on the wal= ls.&quot;<br> &quot;We will send them out again into the streets, then!&quo= t; Kid Kirby<br>decided. &quot;To combat crime in any form. And to keep the=
city safe.&quot;<br> &quot;Very good,&quot; Multitasking Man added, noting=
the decision in the LNH<br>log, adding running commentary in two different=
languages and illustrations.<br> &quot;About Panta. She is still under sus=
picion, is she not?&quot; Kid Kirby<br>said.<br> &quot;Deductive Logic Man =
deduced that Panta is innocent after talking<br>to her,&quot; Captain Clean=
up said. &quot;He also adds that the receptionist&#39;s<br>girlfriend is 5&= #39;2&quot;, blonde, and uses too much perfume, but I think Deductive<br>Lo= gic Man is showing off again.&quot; He smiled.<br> &quot;Someone should spe=
ak to her about proper behavior,&quot; Kid Kirby said.<br> &quot;Self-Right=

&quot;She&#39;s at Professor X&#39;s School for Gifted Youngsters this morn= ing.&quot;<br> &quot;Very well. Is there any other thing to be discussed?&q= uot;<br> &quot;I think that covers it. Thanks.&quot; Captain Cleanup turned=
to go.<br> &quot;The Legion of Net.Heroes must behave itself,&quot; Kid Ki=
rby said in<br>a lower tone of voice. &quot;Who knows what The Serious Writ=
er might think if he<br>should hear of these incidents...&quot;<br> The thr=
ee men turned to look at the door at the end of the LNH<br>Computer Room, t=
he door that DOES NOT OPEN, the sealed door with the letters<br>DRH emblazo= ned on it.<br><br> The four men in white turned at the bottom of the stairs=
and opened<br>a steel door marked with &#39;Mutant Guest Quarters&#39; in = faded letters.<br> Inside, next to the LNH HQ water heater, they found a sm=
all empty<br>room. It was the work of a few moments to clear away half of a=
wooden box<br>a pair of faded jeans and a threadworn blanket, and expose a=
n area of the<br>floor.<br> [The four men are in Panta&#39;s old rooms, las=
t seen in the Woody<br>Scandal, Integrity Quest]<br> They set to work to sw= eep the floor clear and then begin marking a<br>circle and enclosing pentag= ram in colored chalks. One of the men pulled<br>green and red candles from = his satchel. Another enscribed strange runes<br>in the walls.<br> &quot;Ver=
y good, very good,&quot; said the leader as he observed the prepara-<br>tio= ns. &quot;May I have the glasses?&quot;<br> &quot;The glasses?&quot; The th=

The third man scrambled to his satchel and after digging through it<br>=

for a second, pulled out a strange device. They looked like the typical<br>= Goucho Marx trick glasses; Fake mustache, fake eyebrows, fake nose.
