Worm Story 3.5 (Another Worm Story)
Introduction by Worm Mad
Worm Story 3.5 was originally entitled “Another Worm Story”
(It was Paul.Power who called it Worm Story 3.5 in order to fit better into the
series on his site) and was explodingsheep’s attempt to create an alternative
to the Worm Story series. I changed all that though by naming the worm of this
story, Yipee Two-Face (which was the first thing that came into my head) and
pitting him against Jim. The linking of the stories was done very well and Worm
Story 3.5 was the first appearance of the anti-hero who later went onto spawn
his own story series in the later Y range of stories (see Worm Stories Y-I to
Y-III). Anyway read on to witness the beginnings of Yipee. He has recently been
in the story Worm Story 0: Enter the Jim , the prequel to the original Worm
Story as well.
Once there was a worm that was celebrating
his 1000th kill on the battlefield he was unpopular his name was Yipee
Two-face. He was a bit peeved as everybody interesting had gone off somewhere
with an enemy of his named Jim. He decided to seek out the one named
"Jim".
Squirming
along some grassy terrain he ran into an unexpected being. The stranger greeted
him with a grimace; he was wearing a dark hood and looked very scary. He
reached into his pocket and pulled out a deck of cards. "A game of
Blackjack?" he grinned slyly.
Yipee Two-face gave the stranger an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"
"Follow me and I'll show you..."
Yipee Two-face followed and they stopped when
they reached a pen full of super sheep.
"Take one then you can travel on its
back around the world to recruit all the worms into a new army ready to
vanquish Jim upon his return!" laughed the stranger.
Yipee Two-Face thanked him then asked
"But who are you, mysterious stranger?" The stranger replied,
"You should know who I am we met 4 years ago"
Yipee Two-Face gave him a dirty look and
tried to think back to when he previously seen him. "Oh yeah. Now I
remember you beat me when I was the heavyweight-boxing champion of the world
and I've been unemployed ever since. Why do you want to help me?" said
Yipee Two-Face.
The
stranger didn't reply and left; his black cloak dragging on the floor.
"That was strange..." Yipee Two-Face scratched his head and looked
back at the pen of super sheep. "They're in a pen but they could escape
easily by flying... stupid sheep..."
But Yipee Two-Face realised there was a force
field in the way so they couldn’t escape then the stranger said 'you need the
key' he gave him it then he opened the door. He got onto the back of a
super-sheep, which he named 'Baafled' and then took off on his adventure across
the world to raise an army against Jim and his friends...
He landed in an Army Training Base where he
was expected but he fell off the sheep and hurt his worm tail.
"Ouch!" he yelled. "Don’t worry, I’m fine." said although
no one had asked him anything.
"HEY,
EVERYBODY!" Said Yipee Two-faced. "You know, there is a guy named Jim
who says that W3 will never be released. He also says that the Skunk can beat
the Aqua Sheep!" he lied. All the soldiers were astonished and furious.
"Who is this Jim?" they asked.
"It's scary, but Jim is known by a lot of crusades in the earth squadron.
I will crush this "Jim" get me my ship," Yipee Two-Face
demanded.
"I have a better idea," grimaced
one of Yipee Two-Face's new officers "when Jim gets back we will hold a
big party for him and his friends and then while they're eating we attack and
kill em...ha ha ha ha!"
"STOP!" Yelled Nutter, who hadn't
been sent into space in a ship after all, and had been listening to them. They
tied him up.
"This
guy sucks. Look at that ridiculous hammer he has!" said Yipee Two-Face.
"What’s the problem with the hammer?" Nutter said.
"You know, we need to finish this guy"
"Let’s send him to the Dark Mole, who will know what to do!" said an
officer.
When he got to the mole he was...well, frozen
then sent off to space with a rocket. Just than a worm appeared out of nowhere
because of a teleport and said, oops, wrong place too order pizza, bye bye!
Days passed... and soon Nutter was rescued by
Jim, Paul.Power, FlipNautix, Worm Mad, and others. Yipee Two-Face was outraged
and demanded a war against the opposing army. So what they did is go on the
Internet and found out who the guy was that teleported here and back!
They found out it was Striker so they sent a
spy to teleport to where Striker is and captured HIM! (sheesh another capture)
luckily they had no execution set up for him......yet...
Yipee
Two-Face cackled in an evil tone. "Yes... my plan is working
excellently..."
"What do you plan to do Master?" a henchmen asked.
"Well..." Yipee Two-Face began. "Jim may not know it, but what
he’s carrying along with his weapons is a new type of Skunk, whose disease
points are 100. If Jim says "What a lovely day!" the Skunk will
activate! Mwahahaha!" said Yipee Two-Face.
"Why exactly is Jim your nemesis,
master?" asked the henchman. "Well... it all started four years ago
when we were performing operation "Who left the flood-gates open?" He
started moving to safety, but he was so lazy that he didn’t told me that the
water was rising. I drowned, and I was luckily saved by a neutral Aqua Sheep.
Since then I have always hated him..."
"Hmm,
sounds like the plot of Goldeneye," said the henchman. "You know,
when James Bond sets the times early and leaves 006 to die, but he doesn't and
comes back to attempt to wreak revenge, but he is foiled and decides to start
training with a super sheep that blows up and the sheep is still alive he was
named 'explodingsheep'..."
"Hey!" interrupted Yipee Two-Face.
"Yes boss?" asked the henchman.
"Shut Up, O.K?" Yipee replied.
The henchman was furious and walked off on
his own. Suddenly the evil time-machine (who had been hiding from Yipee &
his friends) jumped out from behind a bush and zapped his friend with a crazy ray
which caused to start running around in a crazy way, knocking into things, and
colliding with fellow worms.
"Okay!
Okay! Enough! What do you want?" Yipee asked.
"I wAS shOWinG YOu A piEce oF mY pOWEr. I wanT tO MakE aN allIANce WiTh
yOu." said the evil time-machine.
Yipee replied, "I don't need your assistance!! I can-" Yipee Two-Face
was interrupted as the evil time machine lifted a sheep over Yipee’s head.
"I WiLL ASk iT AgaIN. wIll YOu JOin mE?"
Yipee peeped out a reply, "Yes..." and sat back down. "Now what
do you want?" he asked.
The
time-machine replied "AGenT jIm iS AppROAchiNG thIS PLanEt wiTH tHe
almiGHTY auTHors. wE NeeD tO inTerCePT ThEM. dO YoU HAvE aNy IdEA?"
"No, I don't..." Yipee Two-Face grunted. "But I have a
question..." he started. "...Why do you speak with that funny
big-letter accent?"
"UhMMmm... It iS BEcaUSE I HAve "The FUnnY AcCEnt" SwiTCH tuRned
oN. dO mE A FavOr aNd TurN It OfF."
"...There!"
"Thank you. You seem to be intelligent enough to follow orders..."
"You can just shut your mouth and tell me what your plans are!" Yipee
Two-Face growled angrily.
"Patience... my corrupted friend..." the time-machine coaxed.
"Besides: 1) I have a loudspeaker, not a mouth and 2) if I shut it, how
can I tell you my plan?"
The time machine then proceeded to reveal its
plan. "We will go back in time, and you will help me to spray all the
worms in the world the colour... PURPLE!"
Yipee Two-Face was puzzled. Here was a time
machine that wanted to go back in time, and paint all the worms in the world
the colour... purple.
"Why would you want to do that?" he
asked. It appeared that this time machine was a few transistors short of its
CPU...
"Because... I like PURPLE!" it yelled.
Yipee Two-Face considered the madness of the
time machine's plan. He would go along with the time machine's plan to colour
the world's worms purple, then betray it and stop Jim from being born...
Meanwhile, on Worm-Man's ship, Jim, Worm Mad,
Paul.Power, FlipNautix et al are returning home after their success in rescuing
Nutter.
"So
who is this Yipee Two-Face, Nutter?" asked Paul.Power
"Jim knows." replied Nutter.
"Do I?" asked Jim.
"Yes. Remember Operation Who Left The Flood-Gates Open?"
"Oh, that..."
Back on Earth, the time-machine had found
that he had a sanity switch, it was switched off. "HEY! Turn this on will
you, Mr.Yipee What's-Yer-Face! I wanna see what it does!" cried the
time-machine. Yipee obliged grudgingly. Suddenly the time-machine was back to
normal and no longer evil. "WHAT HAVE I DONE?" he cried and
disappeared upset at having tricked Jim. Yipee Two-Face decided to have a rest
and go to sleep.
Back on Worm-Man's ship, a weird thing
happened. As they discussed Operation Who Left The Flood Gates Open, the ship
began to change to the colour purple. Come to think of it, it was more of a
magenta.
Jim
watched the colour change, which was odd, but everyone seemed to think it was
OK.
"What's going on?" he asked.
The others
looked at him. "What? We've always been purple."
"No, you haven't," Jim said. "You were a sort of pinky
colour." This argument went on for quite some time, until manitou popped
up from under a hatch.
"Jim's
right. You were coloured a shade of pink before" he said matter-of-factly.
"You see, for some bizarre reason which I can't think of, Yipee Two-Face
and the mad time machine have gone back and painted everything purple."
"How come we didn't remember this?" asked Worm Mad.
"Temporal paradoxes are often odd and full of plot holes. Don't think
about it too much about it or your head'll hurt."
After trying to explain it several times and
failing because of bad plot holes, manitou had had enough. "I'll go and
turn the Worm Drive into a sort of time machine." he said, and disappeared
into the hatch.
Several minutes later, Worm-Man's spaceship
disappeared into the past, to go and confront the evil time machine, which had
corrupted the universe's narrative. But due to the nature of temporal
paradoxes, they had fallen into a plot hole.
Manitou realised this and put the ship back
into chronological sync with the universe, making the previous events never
happen (this last section was v. bizarre so if you don't understand it, don't
worry!)
So Yipee was now wondering what the hell he should
do, when suddenly a column of smoke appeared in the sky. It was Worm-Man's ship
re-entering the atmosphere! Yipee Two-Face shouted to his troops "It's
time for the ultimate battle! Get your Bazooka's primed; stuff those sheep in
their cannons! I will have my revenge this day and Jim shall fall before my
army. Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War!!!"
