Percival Phoenix and the Strangers from Afar

[meat_mooks]

From the surface of a small planet, uninhabited by any sentient life and given only a cursory name by a single deep space exploration team before they moved on to chart bigger, more study-worthy phenomena, a signal pulsed forth at intervals. Like the heart of a hibernating animal, it was faint, slow, and unheard. For many years, it waited

LASH, MISTRESS OF EVIL (Everyone, but especially Lash)

[Lash makes her entrance, and Sakura is kidnapped!]

Lightning cracked in the sky! Thunder boomed! Some random creature in the back spontaneously combusted! Two or three bombs exploded sending out a cloud of liquid smoke! Stolen but completely fitting theme music filled their ears!

The perfect time for someone to make her entrance. So she did, the cape swishing dramatically as her hair, standing at six feet tall, an arm raised to the sky. Those watching her feet closely might have noticed she was wearing hovering boots.

The great doctor looked around at the assembled cast and looked completely confused. The theme music was shut off.

"Wait a minute...you guys aren't Percival! Where the hell is that irritating self-proclaimed hero? Shouldn't he be here? He's always here. He's the one who is supposed to crush my plans! I mean..I'm supposed to crush him! Ha ha ha ha...no really where is he."

Sakura had to break out of her well timed scream early, as the theme music shut off. There was an awkward moment where she cleared her throat, but then? Then she was ready.

"You!" she said, pointing and wobbling a little on her broken heel. Drat, she really needed to figure out a way to send dear Percy after the obviously dastardly shoe-maker who had crafted such shoddy heels. "Dr. Lady Deathtruction NEUTRO™! Take that back. He's not a self-proclaimed hero, he's the real deal! You will never succeed in crushing my darling Percival! Like the phoenix, he will always rise from the ashes of your attempts to crush him and make you pay! A whole bunch

[zouichi]

Nuon absconded to his lady's side, ever the loyal retainer. "'Like a phoenix'? HAH! More like a giant chicken!"

"Face it, Duke -- your precious Percival Phoenix has failed you this time. It appears he has sent these..." He paused; his face formed a picture-perfect sneer. "Earthlings in his place. The FOOL! And when he finally shows his face, that is when our Lady will finally crush him under her heel, wings and all!"

Nuon's lips curled into a dastardly smile. "Oh, but don't worry -- when we're done with him, we'll send you a pillow stuffed with his feathers."

The Blood Queen strode to Doctor Lady's other side, her robo-jackals snapping and whining at the end of their leads. Her eyes flashed like deadly gems, in fact, just like the deadly gems in her gem-crusted headdress. Which was topped with golden figures of snakes - deadly snakes of course.

"Little Daisy," she gloated, her huge smile looking even more deranged than usual, which was quite deranged. "How I've waited to pluck you, petal by petal, limb from limb. While your Percival watches, and screams. Oh but I do think that if he is not here, I can make you scream for two."

She shivered with a perfect frenzy of bloodlust, and her oversized bosom shivered in counterpart, making reflections dance over all their faces from her cantilevered gold-plated brassiere that peeped out (well actually stared out) from under her Egyptian dress.

"What. Why...?"

Howard blinks and rubs his eyes, tilting his head as if emptying his ears. He'd already figured Sakura's gone stupid, but everyone? And where did Anwei gain five cup sizes? Or jackals, for that matter?

"What is Anwei wearing, why is Zouichi making bad jokes, and why is Sideshow Bob slash Mojo Jojo looking for Percy Jackson? Sakura, do you mind explaining this without screaming or using the word 'darling'?"

[azulescarabajo]

"Is it just me or did we just get trapped in a really terrible movie?" Jaime asked as he shot up into the air, already considering various non-lethal alternatives for this situation, especially since they didn't especially want to go toe-to-toe with their crewmates.

[j_y_d]

Speak for yourself, Jaime. Ok, so maybe kicking around crewmates a bit harder than the average sparring session isn't the best thing in the world, but things could be worse. Oh yeah, and one look at Anwei's outfit, and toe to toe isn't the kind of contact springing to mind.

"I hate the dialogue, but I love the costumers."

[zouichi]

"'What'?!" Zouichi roared, apparently taking great exception to Howard insulting the humorousness of his banter. "'WHY'?! I'll give you 'why'!"

He raised one black-gloved fist skyward. Apropos of nothing, the theme music started up again, louder than ever.

[8wings]

The Blood Queen snarled, eyes blazing (still).

"To protect the world from devastation!"

[zouichi]

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

[8wings]

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

[zouichi]

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

[8wings]

"Blood Queen!"

[zouichi]

"NUON!"
