Just to let everyone know that this subplot has not been abandonned:

 

Issue 11, Part 6: Healing Time

 

Appearing in this issue:

 

The Blob:

(otis) - Red, fused and rhyming

(Aces) - Red, fused and rhyming

(mrwoogieman) - Red, fused and rhyming

(Fokker) - Red, fused and rhyming

(dillmeister) - Red, fused and rhyming

 

(blutobc)

 

 

And Introducing:

 

The Big Bangers

 

Slaughter - Eric123 - Mindreader

Demon - Proverbs22_2 - fire pellets

Tarantula - Webhead - Paralyzing bite

 

Hospital Staff

Dr. Bob - Doc

Dr. Bunner - Dr. Banner

Nurse Coohs - No one in the forum, just made the name up.

 

 

Slaughter, Demon and Tarantula lead their biker gang in pursuit of the car with the rhyming red blob in it. Slaughter, who was born Eric Won Toothray, is concentrating hard -- using his mind-reading ability to discern whatever he can about the blob. His right-hand man, Demon (who was born with the ironically unbiker-like name of Percy Proverbs), remains silent. Demon will wait for his cue to unleash his unholy fire pellets when the time comes. Behind the two lead bikers rides Tarantula -- an ornery, hairy dude with a webbed head tattoo and a paralyzing bite. In close combat, there was no one more lethal.

 

"They used to be a bunch of guys, but they swam in the Pool of Infinite Mystery and this is what happened," says Slaughter.

 

"Why would they do that?" asks Demon.

 

"They wanted super powers. Not everyone is born with them, like us."

 

"Still -- they must have about 3 active brain cells between the lot of them to be so idiotic."

 

"I fink we shuh kiw'em," says Tarantula. His oversized fangs made him difficult to understand, but no one dared to make fun of his speech impediment once they knew him.

 

"Kill them? Why?" asks Slaughter. He loves pretending that decisions are made with input from others, when in reality he's already decided to kill the blob simply because it is ugly and rhymes poorly. Slaughter had been an English Major at BoT U: Beginning of Time University.

 

"S'weird," says Tarantula.

 

"Yes, it's important to kill what we don't understand. I agree, Tran. Let's kill the blob."

 

"Now? Can we kill it now?" asks Demon, heating a fireball in his hand.

 

"Not yet. Let's add to the dramatic tension by allowing them to almost escape. Besides, we'll have to devise an elaborate death trap and explain our entire plan to them before actually killing them. Those are the rules," says Slaughter. He pauses a moment then says, "No, Tran, we used 'suspended over acid in a net' last time. We must be original."

 

"Mine readah. Phunny," mumbles Tran, chuckling.

 

"I do what I can to keep you lads amused." Slaughter signals a left turn and pulls away from the car he was chasing when he sees them nearing the hospital. "They're headed to Chronos General. We'll set our death trap there. C'mon, we'll head to the haunted, abandoned wing." They take off.

 

Meanwhile...

 

"We lost them!" says Bluto.

 

"We still have fear

That they are near."

 

"We'll be safe at Chronos. Don't worry about a thing. There's no place for them to set up an elaborate death trap there. You'll be separated and skin color in no time."

 

"You think the docs

Can clean our clocks,

And mend our bods?

What are they, gods?"

 

"There's probably a pill or something. Okay, here we are. Everybody out."

 

The blob oozes out of the car, unable to walk or move. Basically, oozing is its maximum range of motion. Bluto grabs a wheelchair, but the blob is too large. He runs into the hospital and soon he returns with four orderlies and two stretchers. They put the stretchers together, heave the blob onto them and roll them into the hospital.

 

"So, what seems to be the problem?" says Doctor Bob, looking at "blobism" written in the section for 'reason you are here'.

 

"Hello, Dr. Bob,

We're a big, red blob."

 

He glances up, sees the blob and looks back at the chart. "So you are. Did you eat any strange foods? Take any drugs or alcohol? Visit a mutating era in the future?"

 

"No, Doc, they swam in the Pool of Infinite Mystery," says Bluto.

 

"Really? Well, I guess we'll have to rename it 'The Pool of Infinite Misery' because mystery solved! It turns people into blobs."

 

"We're not here to be amused,

We're here because we're fused."

 

"And red. Don't forget your gauche coloring. I need to consult with a colleague. Oh, nurse!"

 

Nurse Coohs looks in the door, sees the blob and almost loses his lunch. "Yes, doctor?" he lisps.

 

"Get Dr. Bunner for me. He is on duty, is he not?"

 

"Yes, Doctor. Right away." The nurse minces off to find Dr. Bunner.

 

Dr. Bunner bustles in and pronounces in stentorian tones, "You have a case! We'll sue the Pool, the city, the clocks, and the Supreme Commander."

 

"Psst -- You're a 'Dr.' not an 'Atty'," whispers Dr. Bob.

 

"Yes, of course. You're incurable. You should consider suing a bunch of people."

 

"That's it? No exam?

We know what we am

We need a cure

Not a lawyer lure.

Help us Bunner

There's nothing funner

Than curing a disease

With infinite ease."

 

"Very true. Okay, take four aspirin with green tea, shoot some morphine, then see me in two weeks."

 

"Is that going to help?" asks Bluto.

 

"Yes, they'll be dead long before I have to see them again. Helps me a great deal."

 

"Fair enough. Let's go, blob!"

 

As the orderlies wheel the blob toward the exit, they notice a sign that says BLOB DETOUR. An arrow points to the haunted, abandoned wing of the hospital. "You can take it from here," says one of the orderlies, knowing that the abandoned wing was a favorite spot for death traps.

 

"Okee doke!" says Bluto, whistling as he pushes the blob through the cobwebbed doors.

 

To be continued.

Coward...I dare you to kill me! angel.gif

 

I thought you wanted me to bring Bug back so you could kill him! Now you want me to kill you?

 

Better yet, maybe I should just stop putting so much focus on Mylite and give the spotlight to some other characters. No dramatic death scene, no action, just one name among many.

Psst! Don't give out my plan! That's a secret! I'm trying to let everyone feel like they might actually have any influence on a story that I intend to write exactly how I want to write it.

 

just keep writing... smile.gif

 

Please... flowerred.gifhi.gif

 

No worries there. I'll write until the story is told.

Beautiful! Thanks for making me immortal, BTW...

I've probably missed some, but I try to include anyone who gives me feedback in this thread (especially if they type something!).

A classic as always. I can't believe you remembered I was an English Major. Attention to detail like that will keep me coming back. A+

 

Eric

 

Apparently, my attention to detail is spotty at best. I just realized that I'd inexplicably turned the blob blue, instead of its original red. I've fixed that, but I'm filled with shame nonetheless. I'll strive to do better next time.
