| The Story Begins...Finally |
| What happened since the last month I posted an episode, you ask? Jhonka took a short look around through GameTalk ADVANCED, where he couldn�t find many differences in attitude. He then rejoined Hotaru and became a renegade because�well, Hotaru�s on the Moderator target list. ANYWAY, they then fell for a conveniently placed Moderator trap, but got rescued by a conveniently impossible appearance from some Great Mommy of All GameTalk Hacking, Polly Ester. -------------------------------------------------- The episode starts in an ABANDONED FORUM. Of course, this isn�t any ORDINARY ABANDONED FORUM, because�Uh�People come here. Within seconds, Hotaru, Jhonka, Polly and her HACKING GOONS teleport inside. HACKING GOONS decide they should kneel to POLLY�S GREAT POWERS. HACKING GOONS: Grr!!! POLLY ESTER: Yes, recognize my great powers! Polly Ester produces a HEARTY LAUGHTER. Jhonka and Hotaru, however, are left GLARING IN DISBELIEF. HOTARU: No really, who the FUDGE are you? POLLY ESTER: � JHONKA: How about this question: Why are we here? POLLY ESTER: �Wait, who are you people again? HOTARU and JHONKA: � JHONKA: (Thinking) Short-term memory��GameTalkians� are still SILLY! ? HOTARU: (Thinking) I�m hungry� POLLY ESTER: Oh, right. You�re here because I wanted you here. HOTARU: And that would be for�? POLLY ESTER: To tell you stuff I wrote down�somewhere� She SHUFFLES through a sea of INTERNET PAPERS to find something labeled �CONVERSION SPEECH.� POLLY ESTER: Ah! My conversion speech! She also makes my narration a COMPLETE WASTE. POLLY ESTER: Anyway� (Starts reading from speech) I�ve been recently informed you two seem to�rebel against the authorities here. JHONKA: Actually, I just stand around while Hotaru here kicks some- POLLY ESTER: (Continuing) So I, Polly Ester, the GREATEST HACKER OF ALL OF GAMETALK (!!!) want you two to work for me. HOTARU: �What for? You can�t just tell someone to join you like that! It�s just stupid! Like your face! JHONKA: Um, this isn�t the right time to pick a fight... HOTARU: Anytime�s a good time to pick a fight! ROARRR!!! JHONKA: � HACKING GOONS: Grrr!!! POLLY ESTER: Well, I thought you wouldn�t join me even if I forced you to! Then I�ll have to use my greatest of negotiation skills� She materializes a SHINY LOOKING KNIFE. It looks similar to the standard MODERATOR KNIFE, but has more jewels embedded in it�And is much more SHINY LOOKING. POLLY ESTER: �Bribery! :) JHONKA: Wait, that�s a skill now?! Hotaru lunges forward and snatches the knife. HOTARU: Hehe! Done! POLLY ESTER and HACKING GOONS: Yay!/Grrr!!! JHONKA: So�what the heck is that thing? POLLY ESTER: Just a specially SPAMMERFIED version of the Moderator Knife. The goons had some fun knocking down a few Mods� HACKING GOONS: Grrr!!! POLLY ESTER: Yeah, for the sake of giving it a cool name, let�s call it� The camera zooms in on Polly Ester�s face for THE GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT. POLLY ESTER: �THE KNIFE OF POINTINESS! HACKING GOONS: Grrr!!! Original!!! HOTARU: �The Knife of Pointiness�?! What kind of stupid name is that?! POLLY ESTER: I don�t know. Just something I�ve been thinking up for the past few years. JHONKA: Um�And what about me? POLLY ESTER: Oh, you� Polly points her staff at Jhonka. JHONKA: Oh crap! Jhonka SHIELDS HIS FACE AS IF IT�LL STOP A SPAM BLAST OR NUCLEAR WARHEAD. POLLY ESTER: Yes, it�s just like mine�From the last time I remember, anyway� JHONKA: Huh? He parts his fingers and sees Polly examining Jhonka�s SILVER STAFF. Apparently, she took it without Jhonka knowing. POLLY ESTER: It�s all like SHINY�and SILVER�And STAFF-LIKE. HOTARU: Oh come on already! What�s so good about it? POLLY ESTER: This. She points the staff at a NEARBY HACKING GOON. A BLACK HOLE appears behind the USELESS CHARACTER and sucks him into GAMETALK OBLIVION. HACKING GOON: Grrr!!! HOTARU and JHONKA: � POLLY ESTER: Sent into a life without accessing GameTalk. That simple attack caused him to forcefully disconnect and register a piece of his brain to stop him from log back in. Permanently. JHONKA: ^_^;; HOTARU: Hey�how come I don�t get something as cool as that? POLLY ESTER: Because you�d�Ah, never mind. Just take care and use your items as you please :) Polly Ester and her Hacking Goons Teleport away. HOTARU: But�she never explained what my Knife of Pointiness does� JHONKA: �I don�t like this thing. Why do I have it anyway? HOTARU: Hey! How about we make a trade? My Knife for your Staff! JHONKA: �But�You usually want to exchange things of an equal value in a trade. This doesn�t seem too equal to me. HOTARU: My gosh, you really are a strange kid�Come on, let�s go pick on people in the Axem Forum or something. They two Teleport from the abandoned forum�To finally make it abandoned. OR SO IT SEEMS! What�s predictable is someone was SPYING ON THEM. In the distance, our camera zooms in on a tall brown-haired male character, carrying a MODERATOR SWORD but not equipped with MODERATOR ARMOR. UNNAMED PERSON FOR NOW: So I�m not a Moderator? RIGHT. UPFN: Gotcha. Like in most stories, I will foreshadow by talking to myself� (Clears throat) Of course, those two haven�t learned anything yet. Why Polly wouldn�t answer the question of why Hotaru got a Knife instead. How the Staff really works. And not to mention the full extent of its power... AUDIENCE: Oooooooh!!! Where�d you guys come from? AUDIENCE: *Synchronized Shrug* And because this is a mediocre storyline, they will definitely run into a bunch of pointless obstacles, new (possibly) stupider people, and violence. Lots and lots of violence :) END OF EPISODE FIVE |
