Krazy Kat: Hi there. Among the usual Writer's Procrastination Activities was reading the new Dune prequel. This has given me the idea of doing a parody of Dune in the near future.
Macavity: Only on the condition that I don't play Baron Harkonnen.
KK: Any particular reason?
Macavity: I could handle playing a villain that's grossly overweight. I could even handle playing a villain that's gay. BUT NOT BOTH!!!!!
KK: Don't get your knickers in a twist. You're slated to be Piter de Vries.
Macavity: Well, I guess that's okay.
Pouncival: Speaking of which, I've always wondered how Baron Harkonnen could be Jessica's father when he's gay.
KK: Ehm... the answer to that isn't particularly kitten friendly, so maybe we should start Episode 3 right now.
Pouncival: But I wanna know!!!!!
KK: Oh, alright. (whispers into Pouncival's ear) Pouncival: (eyes widening) Gee, who'd they get to clean up the mess afterwards?
KK: Enough of that. Let's get back to the story. Last time you may recall the Cyber-Pekes entered the space station uninvited, failed to wipe off their Cyber-Boots on the mat, and shot down the Doctor, Stevenson, and Lester. It's starting to look like Stevenson and Lester are kaput and the Doctor will soon regenerate into a cricket obsessed sissy.
Cyberleader: Oh, we didn't kill them.
KK: Is that so?
Cyberleader: We just stunned them. What we're going to do is implant these locator devices in them and then release them back into the wild, hoping they'll be able to find food and a mate.
Kellman: What gives with the nature research crap? Cyberleader: Just our little joke. It's really because we need them alive for our Fiendish PlanTM. (Notices Kellman going through Doctor's pockets.) And just what do you think you're doing?
Kellman: Just seeing if he has any cash or credit cards.
KK: We'll leave Kellman to sorting through several packets of Jelly Babies and check on Sarah and Harry.
Tyrum: Alright, you'd better explain yourselves and explain yourselves good.
Harry: Well, you see... er... uh... um...
Sarah: Before Harry confuses things, you'd better read this. (Hands over some papers)
Tyrum: What is it?
Sarah: It's a summary of Episodes 1 and 2.
Tyrum: Oh, okay. (reads summary) Well, there's only one thing to do.
Harry: What's that?
Tyrum: I wish I knew.
Sarah: How about we reason with Vorus?
Tyrum: I think that's a crappy plan.
Sarah: Oh.
Tyrum: But I can't think of anything else, so we may as well try it.
KK: But let us go back up to the space station and find out about the Fiendish PlanTM of the Cyber-Pekes. It should be noted that earlier, Kellman teleported down to Nepeta, claiming he was going to make sure the way was clear. (lowering voice) What he's really going to do is warn Vorus, whom he's really been working for, since the Cyber-Pekes are a bunch of cheapskates.
Cyberleader: Hey narrator guy, what are you whispering for?
KK: Oh, no reason.
Cyberleader: Well, stop it. Now, here is Fiendish PlanTM.Here we have three miniturized Q-Bombs from The Mouse that Roared. We shall strap bombs to Doctor and his friends. They shall be teleported to Nepeta with two Cyber-Pekes with a signal booster. While our Cyber-Pekes engage any armed resistance, Doctor et al shall go to the center of Nepeta. When reached, they shall take off the bombs and have ten minutes to get back to the teleporter.
KK: Little do they know that the bombs will go off when they reach the center.
Cyberleader: Hey loudmouth. Not so loud.
KK: Um, right.
Cyberleader: And when the bombs go off, no more Nepeta, no more catnip. And by the way, to prevent any funny stuff, we'll be tracking you on radar, and if you deviate, we'll manually detonate the bombs. And since this is a first-rate Fiendish PlanTM, the strap buckles are set to explode if you try to remove them before we give the release signal. As a bonus, we've made them resistant to tampering with...
****FANFARE****
Cyberleader: The Sonic Screwdriver. Any questions?
Doctor: What if we decide not to cooperate?
Cyberleader: Then we'll do this to you with your scarf.
(Starts throttling Doctor with scarf)
Cyberleader: And this!!!!!
Lester: Gee, I didn't know you could do that with wool.
Stevenson: Cyber-Pekes? More like Psycho-Pekes.
Doctor: Okay, I'll go along!!!!!
KK: And so they hopped onto the teleporter and went to the upper levels of Nepeta. Almost immediately, their Cyber-Peke escort is attacked by the Nepetans. Naturally, the Cyber-Pekes are impervious to the Nepetans' firearms, and so the Cyber-Pekes proceed to mow down their opponents, because we all want some violence. VIOLENCE!!!!!
Jenny: Are you all right?
KK: (quickly gulping down some lithium pills) No, I'm just fine. Is there a problem?
Jenny: Oh, forget it.
KK: Our Protagonists head on their way while the Cyber-Pekes on the station track them on radar, However, they're having a hell of a time at it, as, like everything else on the station, the radar is a cheap, shoddy device that probably still uses vacuum tubes. Sez you, "What about Kellman?" sez I, "Who cares?" Sez you, "Listen bucko, tell me, or I'll set Buster the Attack Wolverine on you." Alright, shortly after teleporting down, Kellman was intercepted by some of Tyrum's lackeys and has just been taken to him.
Tyrum: And what is your purpose here?
Kellman: I've come to fill you in on the rest of the plot. You see, up on the space station, the Cyber-Pekes are messing about, feeling all smug and superior. All unaware that Vorus has a missile aimed at them, ready to blow them to smithereens.
Tyrum: That's all well and good, but...
(Sheprah enters)
Sheprah: Tyrum, we've got a problem. The Cyber-Pekes have landed and are beating the crap out of us.
Tyrum: That's terrible. How many are there?
Sheprah: Well, that's the sad part, because there's only two out there.
Tyrum: Only two????? What the hell have you been doing?????
Sheprah: Err...
Kellman: Our best chance is to fire the missile and wipe out the Cyber-Pekes that way.
Tyrum: What about the two still down here?
Kellman: I'm sure we'll be able to work out an arrangement.
KK: While they go off to see Vorus, let's have a look-in at the carnage and violence the Cyber-Pekes are wreaking. Hmm, current score Cyber-Pekes 37, Nepetans nil. It's not a pretty sight, folks. Enough of that, let's get on with the story. While waiting for Tyrum to convince Vorus's guards that they're not part of the shooting gallery, Sarah, thinking that the Doctor is still on the station, goes off to the teleporter so she can warn him about the Imminant DangerTM. Meanwhile, Tyrum and the rest have finally gained admittance and have been given full details on the missile.
Tyrum: Yes, but is it actually finished yet?
Magrick: Ehm, no. It appears that the construction crew has gone off to have a quick smoke.
Tyrum: This is all your fault, Vorus. We're going to be blown to smithereens because you put into motion a plan that relies entirely on those lazy bums you hired.
Vorus: Well, if you weren't such a wuss, I could have done this in the open and hired a real work crew.
(They continue to bicker)
Harry: (interrupting) Don't you think that maybe we should ask the Doctor if he has an idea?
Vorus and Tyrum: Who?
Harry: Yeah, him. He's always able to come up with a brilliant plan that usually works.
KK: After a bit of debate, Harry and Kellman are sent to intercept the Doctor, using an ancient cross shaft as a shortcut. But what has the Doctor been doing all this time? While trudging towards the center of Nepeta, he's been telling Stevenson and Lester that he has an idea brewing. Actually, he hasn't got a clue on what action to take and is hoping that a flash of inspiration will hit him before the center is reached. Little does he know that it'll be something else tht will hit him. After another brief look-in at the Cyber-Peke induced violence, We shall return to Kellman and Harry, who have run into a problem.
Kellman: The way's blocked. May as well go back.
Harry: Don't be such a quitter. We'll clear it away.
Kellman: I don't think that's such a good idea.
Harry: Ah, you big sissy, it's simple. I just remove this rock here and...
(Entire pile collapses on Kellman.)
Harry: ...have it crush you like a bug. Sorry about that.
KK: Now it just so happened that on the other end, the Doctor, Stevenson, and Lester were passing by. Some of the rocks that came loose blipped them on the head and knocked them out. When Harry came out, he started attempting to remove the bomb from the Doctor, which you may recall will explode if that happens. Will Harry blow everyone to Kingdom Come (hmm, can't be too sure about this one)? Will the Cyber-Pekes actually succeed in their Fiendish PlanTM ? And what has Sarah been up to all this time? Find out next time in the final episode!!
"Dr. Who" doesn't belong to this author, and neither does CATS (ALW and his buddies at The Really Useful Group and RUG are the lucky ones on that one.) This is just some good ol' harmless fun!
