| Nick crawls across and Nic-er Batman, Superman, and Robin go on with their mission. We'll join them later, but let's see if AJ ever got feeling back in his legs.... AJ: That kid is lucky... Kevin: What kid? AJ: That little girl who stole the ball. Kevin: Oh... why? AJ: Because if those kids hadn't chased her and she hadn't told her mom she wanted to go home, i might've wrung her neck. Kevin: (chuckles) AJ. It was just a stupid kiddy game. But i wouldn't have blamed ya, since the twerp bit my leg. AJ: (grins) Right On! (slaps Kevin five) Kevin: Now what should we do? AJ: (shrugs) We can't eat. We have to wait for Nicky, Rok, and D. And the show is the thing you do while you eat.That leaves getting back in there. ( pointing to the playplace) Kevin: (shudders) I'm not geting back in that deathtrap. AJ: (nodding) Me either. So that leaves games. Kevin: (shakes his head) Nah. We need to wait for the others. AJ: (eyes light up) How bout we look for chicks! Kevin: (bursts out laughing) AJ, you moron! Look around! The only so called chicks around here are women over thrity with kids, and of course the five year old chicks. There are no chicks here. AJ: Well then there's only one thing left (turns to the playplace) Dun dun dun.. The deathtrap! Kevin: I told ya, i ain't going back in there AJ: You mean you AREN'T going back in there. Kevin: (glares at AJ) Whatever... Mr. Smarty pants. AJ: (ignoring his last comment) Come on Kev, if we dodge the little monster it won't be so bad. Plus Nick, Howie, and Brian are in there. If we don't go get them they might stay in there for hours! I know, cause i used to do the same thing to my mom. Kevin: (sighs) Okay. Let's go. But if I die during this mission, I hope you live with the guilt for the rest of your life. AJ: Gee thanks Kev. Come on. Aj and Kevin enter the playplace, dodging the little monsters as they call them, and look for their bandmates.We are going to check up on Batman, Superman, and Robin. Let's see how they're doing. They have entered a round room with a small stool in the middle. It is now their command center. Batman (Nick): Okay, Robin check the X-ray map and see where they have taken Batgirl! Robin ( Brian): What the heck is and X-ray map? Batman: (Sighs) X-ray vision. The map can see through the walls. Therefore it knows waht room she;s in. Duh. Robin: Oh right. I knew that. ( Shoots Superman (Howie) a confused look) Superman: I have been checking the status of the earth. So far Catwoman and the Penguin haven't been able to brainwash any of our earth's citizens. A little boy around five enters the room.He watches the boys pretend to push buttons, twist dials, and read invisible charts.He wonders if these men are crazy. Little Boy: What are you doing? Batman forgets the there is a young, impressionable young child, and without turning around starts to talk to the young boy. Batman: Well we're making sure that Catwoman and The Penguin haven't brainwashed or killed any of the citizens and we are making sure that the Joker hasn't harned Batgirl. Little Boy: (confused) Who are the citizens? Superman: The people that live on earth, like you Little Boy: (eyes wide) You mean they could kill me? Robin: (not paying attention) Yep. Little Boy: ( stands still for a moment, then...) MMMOOOMMMMMMYYY!!! (runs back the way he came) Superman: Wait a minute, what did we just tell that poor kid? Robin: (still oblivious the there was even a kid) What kid? Batman: Oh no! All three boys crowd around the window of the command center and see the poor little boy crawl into his mother's arms. Batman: Oops. Robin: I don't get it. What happened? Superman: We practically told that kid he was gonna die. Robin: Oh, you're right, Batman. Oops. Meanwhile AJ and Kevin make their way up looking for Nick, Brian and Howie. They were only attacked once by a little boy who was coming down the wrong way screaming about his mommy and how a cat and pnguin were going to kill them. AJ: Where are they? This palce is huge! We may never find them. I say we turn back. Another little boy, this time around seven pops arond the corner and just stands there, blocking the way. He's wearing a power ranger costume. (If you've ever had to watch a power ranger eppie, some of this might sound familiar.) Power Ranger: Stop, Lord Zed, you will bow to me and surrender or i shall not let you through. Kevin: (rolls his eyes) Look Kid, We need to get through to find our friends. So move. Power Ranger: No! I will not let you hurt Angel Grove! AJ: (confused) Angel's what? Listen Mr. Flower Ranger. Move or i'll make you move. Got me? Power Ranger: (pounces on AJ) Yep! Got Ya! AJ: Not like that you little shrimp! get off me! (pushes the little kid back where he was standing) Kevin: Hey! I know, what about a peace offering? AJ and Power Ranger: What? Kevin: You know... a peace offering...(pulls a snickers out of his pocket) If you move, we'll give you this lovely candy bar. AJ and Power Ranger: Ohhh... AJ: Um.. Kev, I say we keep the candy bar.. Kevin: Shut up. Do you want the acndy bar or not? Power Ranger: (puts his pointer finger on his chin in thought) Hmm...it is my favorite. Kevin and AJ look at each other knowingly. No kid in his right mind would give up his favorite candy bar! Power Ranger: No! I will not give into temptaiom! Kevin: (sighs) You mean temptation. Power Ranger: Whatever. AJ: Why don;t you want the yummy candy bar? Power Ranger: Because mommy said not to take candy from a stranger and you two are stargners. Hiyah! ( punches Kevin in the face, and kicks AJ in the stomach. Turn's sround and runs off.) Kevin: Get that little booger! AJ: (Has gotten over his pain and unwrapped the snickers) Right after i finish this Kev. (mouth full of candy) Kevin: ERRHH! Candy isn't a five course meal you idiot! Take it with you! AJ: OK! Both Boys take off after the kid, AJ still munching on the Snickers. Well, after that excitement, wee need something pretty dang good form Batman and his gang...but as usual, they never disappoint. They have found the SLIDE! And according to Robin, it is a tube to the pit of death, In other words, it leads to the ball pit. Superman (Howie): We Need to get down to earth and this is the only way so far. I don't think it leads to the pit of death. Let's go. Robin (Brian): I'm telling you, it goes down to the pit of death. Batman (Nick): Superman, Robin calm down...oh no! ( pretends that something is sucking him towards the tube--Brian and Howie follow his lead--Howie actually pushes himself (brave soul) into the slide and starts to go down. Robin: Nooo! (grabs Howie's hand) Batman: ( Grabs Howie's other hand) Don't let go, you man of steel! Superman: Hey! (starts to slide down further-- talks to someone in the so called Pit of Death) Let go of my leg! Some kid's pulling me down! Robin: (grinning) Don't let the pit demons kill you Superman! Batman: Hold On! Superman: They're all pulling on me now! Help!! Nick and Brian struggle to hold onto Howie for about five minutes until finally Howie is sucked down the tube by the demons. Robin: NOOOO! Superman! Batman: We practically killed him! We are his murderers! Hey! He might survive if we get down there to help! Robin: Let's do it! (Takes a big breath and climbs into the slide--Batman follows and puts his arms around Robin) We're coming Superman! Batman: Just hold on! Hit it Robin! To Be Continued..... |
