Battle 21:
In Godd we Trust - Memoirs of a Lanist
Date: The Day of Lavos. (Duo does resemble an apocalyptic demon in some ways) - May 5, 01.
Author:
Sheep 'n' Kite
Setting:
Storm Version Staff Meeting Room
Player:
Sheep of Doom

STORM WEBMASTERS are loafing around!
We're just playing cheat, bugger off....
Six queens.
...
J'ACCUSE!
You mind stopping that? that's the 20th time!
You're bloody well cheating, I know you are!
Wrong! Look!
...You just used white-out to turn a K into a Q...
No I didn't, I pulled this card from under the table...I mean, it was in the deck!!!
GAME erupts into GIANT CARTOON STYLE FIGHT SCENE!
*knock* *knock* *knock*
...salesman?
Nah, we'd be hearing the enthusiastic "HELLO SIR!" by now.
...Well I'm not answering it. I have to look after the coffee.
I'm not moving, you'll look at my cards!
...And I'd better...keep you company, yea, that's it...wouldn't want you to accidentally drink more coffee than you should, would we?
*knock knock knock*
Tell ya what, let's play rock paper scissors for it
...k...
DUO tosses LARGE ROCK at KITE!
It's super effective!
Good old Rock! Nothin' beats that!
You weren't counting on PAPER, fiend!
Ah! Not that! I'll answer it, I'll answer it!
...Does this room even have a door?
...I dunno, I just seem to appear here every time.
Is there a reason for a door?
DOOR appeared!
See?
AH! THE WALL I WAS KNOCKING ON TURNED INTO A DOOR!
...I recognize that cowardly shout anywhere. It's those characters no one remembers!
Oh yea! Who're they again?
Gah, I knew I shoulda left those dits in Cloud Version!
DOOR opened!
We, the storm characters, demand equal rights!
...we have characters?
*shrug* Coulda fooled me...
Hn, I thought they were just some one dimensional idiots we torment for laughs.
Hence "characters".
I brought a petition, here.....
Let's see here, hmn...a few characters...about 100 extras...oddly enough all named "extra"
Who's this?
That's Ditto36's signature.
Looks like scribble.....
You ever seen grape jello write?
All the time, we read Lavender!
Unfortunately.
We, of Storm, demand coffee-
SAY THE DRINK OF THE GODS WITH A CAPITAL C, MORTAL!
Er...Coffee...
And we won't stop complaining until we get it!
Fine, you'll have a vending machine by morning...$100 a cup.
Oh, gah, here we go. It's always the same - first you characters complain because you exist only to satisfy our need to torment people, now this!
Fine, if you refuse to give it to us, I'll have to BATTLE for it!
SHEEP of DOOM wants to fight!
Oh, I'm shaking, someone save me......
SHEEP wants to fight!
Oh, lord, now I'm confused...
Not gonna hurt yourself?
Do I LOOK like a nit?
How about we rename Toby to "cuddle-wuddle-bunny"?
How about I destroy Duo's share of this month's caffeine supplies?
NARRATOR needs to find a way to distinguish these two sheeps...
Bah!
Green text sheep, you're back!
GOD I NEED A NEW JOB!
Oh, double urrh, someone get me some coffee.
SHEEP sent out TOASTER!
SHEEP sent out COFFEE!
SHEEP sent out BAH!
...AAAAAAAAAH!
Okay, I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a Sheep. Er...wait, that's wrong...
We give the idiot character a new name, say "Jim", we call our Sheep Toby, and we leave the kawaii ickle thingee as it is. Does everyone agree?
I don't like the name Jim!
DID I SAY YOU COULD SPEAK, MORTAL?!
...I didn't ask. Wait..that can't be the right line......
OK, let's see here...TOASTER used...good lord, this can't be.
Housefire?
*NOD*
For god's sake, don't be daft.
I don't think there's any problem with using house fire.....
You don't think, period.
Fine, I'll use something else.
TOASTER used EGGO!
EGG ran away!
...what's an eggo?
JASON ROSS appeared!
JASON: YOU NEVER HEARD OF AN EGGO?!
...nup
JASON sets STORM BQ at -11!
Okay, everyone surround the non-american. Remove the padding on your Poké Battles-issue baseball bats.
Ah! No, stop! FOR THE LOVE OF LANI, STOP!
JASON: Hey, only I get to use Lani related jokes!
JASON wants to fight!
...tell you what Toby, hold down the fort, we're going on a coffee break.
Have fun!
I'm screwed...
Bah ^_^
Shaddap
Bah T_T
Oh, now look what you did! You made the little kawaii sheep thingy cry!
That's it, I'm not going to stand here and watch this kawaii animal be insulted. TO THE PLACE IN WHICH I SHALL COWER TILL THE SCARYNESS IS OVER!
...Even my one-dimensional characters are deserting me. What next?
COFFEE MACHINE got up and RAN!
AAAH! THE END IS NIGH!
Gah, next your going to tell me my worst fear shows up...
PIE-THROWING PIKACHU appeared!
...
GET ME OUT, GET ME OUT!
PIKA!
ROOM becomes FILLED with PIES!
How many pies?
Three and a bit.
...three and a bit, wh-Oh, very bloody clever.
Alright, we're back, did you wi- 
Hey, it's that pikachu from the Liquid final fanfic!
KITE is hit with PIE!
KITE fainted!
This isn't Kite's day, is it? 
With all the sites he has to be in I'm sure he's used to it o_O
JASON: Hey, wasn't I supposed to be fighting one of you?
Eh, I'm sure it wasn't important.
Didn't you say "Lani" or something, and we're not supposed to say the word "Lani" in a ba-er...oops.
JASON: Right, that's it! You're gonna-
QUALITY CONTROL OFFICER appeared!
QCP: Enough of that, now, I can appreciate a good bit of humor as much as the next man...well, there's my wife...and my aunt...then there's Jim at the convinience store...ok, so maybe I have no sense of humor, but this battle has gotten far too silly.
Ah, it's the cops!
QCP: So, I must arrest the culprit...who caused this problem?
STORM WEBMASTERS point to JASON!
JASON: I'm innocent, I swear!
QCP: Yea, that's what they all say. Well, you're the first, but I'm pretty sure they'll all follow your example and say it.
JASON was HAULED away!
...who's going to do network update now? The other sites will kill us...
Bah!
...you thinking what I'm thinking?

Several days later...

Okay, now, this button makes Storm get 6 BQ...
And this one puts Moonlight down to 1...
Bah!
SHEEP understands!
I guess our work is done here.
Certainly.
DUO flipped out a futuristic looking cellphone!
Duo to Coffee Machine. Er...tin...rym...er...CRITICIZE!
...That's "Energize", you dolt.
Sure, whatever.

Meanwhile, back at the Meeting Room...

And then they broke out the giant laser of doom, I stood my ground...
Wow, what'd you do next, Jim?

KATE: let me guess, you used house fire again didn't you?
Actually......-_-;; no, I ran away before I got a chance.
KATE: I don't know about you guys, but I've heard this story before...
IRON CHEF: Yea, it was called "Cloud Version".
...HEY!
HOTARU: You know, we don't have any coffee now...but I hear mutton is rather tasty...
o_O;;;
...I really hope that door is still in existence...

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! MUHAHAHA!
...?
THE EARTH IS SHAKING!
!!!
???
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
HE'S GOING TO BURST!
The only way we can get him to cool down, is to have him watch Storm characters smash eachother into pieces for no apparent reason at all until one of them faints and the narrator announces it by saying "Blahblah fainted!" and then some other stuff happens and..umn..
BRILLIANT!
o_O;
YES!! SHOW ME A BATTLE!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR I WILL DESTROY THIS PATHETIC LITTLE VERSION IN A SINGLE BLAST!
O_O;;; DO IT NOW! BATTLE! KATE AND JESSIE, FIGHT!

JESSIE and KATE don't WANT to fight!
That could be a problem.
C'mon you two, just fight, ONCE! It won't be that bad!! ...
whisper
you could even just fake it.
..JAMES! You're the NARRATOR! DO SOMETHING!
I can only accurately NARRATE what happens.. I cannot alter my SETTING, the PEOPLE in the SETTING, or any EVENTS!
That's a bunch of bull-crap.
C'MON! DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING! JUST MAKE IT QUICK! X_x;;
Yes,do something now!
That's it.. they're right, we've gotta do something!
Hey! Doesn't Toby have one of those Star Trek hologram things! Maybe we can have hologrames fight!
It's on Toby's belt.
x_x
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! NOW!
TOBY is enraged!
TOBY's strength greatly rose!
OH NO! WHAT IS HE DOING!?!?
TOBY destroyed CRYSTAL VERSION! ..no, we're NOT joking!
;_;
He just destroyed a whole Version in a single blast. This can't go on. Millions of characters were just killed.
Oh my.. Duo..I am so sorry.

JIGGLYPUG! HANG IN THERE!
HAHAHAHA! SUFFERRRRR!!!!!
Ehhhh...
Keep fighting! I think we're satisfying the monster!
ARBOX attack continues!
...BOX..sorry, just had to do that.
Odd.
..ish.
Indeed.
ARBOX attack continues!
JIGGLYPUG fainted...in a kawaii fashion!
Hm..
NO! YOU FAINTED MY JIGGLYPUG!
I AM SATISFIED..ZZZ.
TOBY fell asleep!
YES!
YAY!
Now, what do I get for compensation?
...
...
zzz
..nothing.
What?! I'm outraged! YOU FAINTED MY JIGGLYPUG!
ARBOX attack continues!
TOBY is fast asleep!
..uh..
ARBOX attack continues!
JIGGLYPUG died!
!!!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, STORM WEBMASTERS! I'M FORMING A POGRAM!
I'll help you. We'll teach these guys a lesson! You'll help too, won't you James? You're the narrator, after all!

JASON: No! Ditto's going to eat my Lamppost pizza!

Wild GRAVITY appeared!
ROOF greatly fell!
ROOF kept on falling and CRASHED!
...into the Cloud Version Character section!
Cloud Version Character SECTION? They don't deserve a section...maybe a cubicle.
CROWD rejoiced!
POSH GUY: I say, that roof nearly landed in the poshpeoplewhoeveryonehates section! Nearly ruined my rather
MAGNIFICENT hair, too. Oh, Gladys, drink in small sips, and use the cake fork! Dreadful manners...
...Shouldn't the roof land on ALL of us?
GRAVITY: I like to be creative. Ho hum...
ROOF fell on POSH PEOPLE, for the HELL OF IT!
POSH GUY: Oh, I say! I appear to be trapped under some DREADFUL rubble! You there, little kid, get me out of here.

AUDIENCE rejoiced!
zzz...Gah this thing is repatitive....long word, shiny...umn, Hippy?...

...WHERE IN THE NAME OF THE ALAMO IS EVERYONE?!

Meanwhile, at the local café...

And then I said, "Pretencious? Moi?"! HAH!
And then Ditto was left calling out the role...FOR THREE MONTHS! HAHAHAHAHA!

Back in the Meeting Hall...

EVERYONE is asleep!
Geez, I could swear we've spent three months in here. You, Extra. Be fruitful and find Hippy.
EXTRA: But I'm only here to get killed in the first scene!
Then be speedy about it.
EXTRA: Gah...join the Poké Battles, they said...it's an Extra's life, they said...see the world, they said...
WORLD fell on EXTRA!
Take a good look :P

Inside a random RPG, a guy with girly hair is facing danger at every turn...

Player: Hippy

HIPPY used TURN!
HIPPY is fully TURNed!
...Can't I turn less than 180 degrees for once?
NO!
Gah. Well, since I'm facing the wrong direction, I really should turn around...
HIPPY turned around!
...Gah, this is the story of my life, isn't it?
Yes. I'm thinking of calling it the "Circle of Life".
...BAD NARRATOR! NO PAYCHECK!
Oh, wait. You're supposed to be facing danger at every turn. Here, have an enemy.
Being a pacifist when everything's trying to kill you may just be the definition of annoying...
Uhoh, I think a battle's coming on... 
SCREEN did SWERLY BATTLE THING! 
Ugh, dizzy...
WILD RABBIT appeared!
Awe, lookit the fluffy bunny!
BUNNY used OVERBITE!

..... (Let's see here...a key to a tower I already defeated, a staff I needed to move a gate, a picture I had to give to a queen...I really should clean this out more often...wait, here it is.)
HIPPY used ECHOSCREEN!
Who named these potions anyway?
A WRITER using TOO MUCH EXP!
HOTARU appeared!
...what are you?
HOTARU: I'm a boss sent here to destroy you!
I can't be that far into this battle...you must be a miniboss.
HOTARU: No, I'm a big bad scary boss that will kill you!!!
Sure you are. Hah, you don't even have big bad scary music. You don't even have wings, what kind of boss are you?
HOTARU: A big bad scary boss that will kill you!!!
You just keep telling yourself that, I'll just return to that save point 5 steps back.
HOTARU: Get your hand of that load state key, you cheater! I'm a big bad boss that will kill you!!!

Back at the meeting hall, things are even less boring...

...FINALLY, THE END!...ok, anyone seen this IRONCHEFPB?
Unaccounted for sir!
I was hoping he'd be here...fod is god...oh, ack, into another storysequence...

Meanwhile, the use of the word 'meanwhile' is ticking off readers...While-this-was-happening, at the local McDonalds...

Player: IRONCHEFPB


Would you like fries with that?
CUSTOMER: Why must you always assume I want fries? I DON'T LIKE FRIES. I AM ALLERGIC TO POTATO.
Tell you what, I make special dish for you! COMBO #3 COMING UP!
CUSTOMER: ...Why must he always do this...
...I cannot work like this!! Where's the raw fish!
BOSS: You mean the mcfish?
I need to be CREATIVE! This is all stale!
BOSS: Just how our customers like it!
...Have you ever been TOLD they like it?
BOSS: Well, no...but they keep coming back for more!
They just like those little toys you give out with Happy Meals.
BOSS: Gotta buy 'em all!
I'm sick of you and your ripped off slogans! You can take this job and shove it!
BOSS: Remember, have a McNice day!!!
Great, now I have no job, or dignity...what next?
IRONCHEFPB finds SHEEP stuffed in a MAILBOX!
Hmn, I may not have a job, but I sure have dinner!
IRONCHEFPB heads home!

Back at the Meeting Hall... 

So we're agreed  we invade Russia tomorrow. 
PEOPLE: Yes, Mr President sir! 
Woops, wrong Meeting Hall. 

Back at the CORRECT Meeting Hall...

Player: Ditto36 

Alright, now, urrh, some of us might die...especially the extras...but not to worry....
EXTRA: I'm too young to die! 
Oh, right, you're the one that gets tortured and beaten. 
So, my fellow characters, are we ready for war?!
EXTRA: Not quite yet!
EXTRA: Can I go to the bathroom? 
...didn't we already do this gag?
Eh.
Now, the plans written by my brilliant strategists is, I go in and...open the door? o_O Who the hell wrote this?
KITE'S DYSLEXIA: At least I didn't spell anything wrong!
Right, ok, I open door, you come in, kill webmaster thingies...k?
ARMY: HUZZAH!

Oblivious to the revolutionary planning of Ditto and his large force of characters, Storm's Webmasters are going about a normal day... 

Six queens 
J'ACCUSE! 
...This looks familiar. 
DITTO looks through window! 
You know, this looks very suspicious. One could almost think we were planning something. 
They're planning something with those pieces of plastic! I knew they were up to no good! 
Hah! Little would they know we were just playing Cheat! 
I'll bet they want observers to think they're playing Cheat! 
Now, to get though this window...I know, I'll use one of these gadgets J gave me. 
JAMES BOND music begins playing!
DITTO used PENCIL BOMB! 
Woops. Lucky this glass is soundproof. 
Did you hear something?
Yea. We should really make that glass soundproof.
I didn't hear anything...
DITTO used GLASS CUTTER!
GLASS CUTTER was TOSSED THROUGH WINDOW!
You must've heard something that time!
YOU JUST WANT TO LOOK AT MY CARDS!
J'ACCUSE!
DITTO sneaks in!
Oh, who's that?
Jello. Grape Jello.
Gee, you coulda just knocked.
...I knew there was an easier way to do this ><
Uh...dingle, I'm just gonna...open the door, k? _
Why?
...so an army of characters and extras can come in to kill you?
Oh, right. I thought they were coming at 4...
...Yes, well, I'll just go fetch them now, shall I? 
Yeah, sure, whatever...just don't look at my cards.
DITTO opened door!
ARMY tries to run in at once!
ARMY is caught in DOORWAY!
CAUGHT enemy army!
Care to rename ARMY?
...o_O
Well that was a waste of several months worth of hardwork...alright, prepare to face...THE OMAKE BOX!
DITTO used OMAKE BOX!
What is the omake box anyway?
...not sure, J handed it to me and told me it would come in handy.
Yea, it just looks like a normal match box to me... 
Well, that's what it looks like from the outside...
But, see, when you open it out... 
It's really... 
...A ROACH MOTEL! 
Oh. Wow. Scary.
Fascinating, even.
DUO checks into MOTEL!
It's super expensive!
DUO fainted from the PRICE!
Woo! One Webmaster down and all I used was a Motel! 
MOTEL MANAGER: Who will be paying the fainted Customer's bill? 
KITE ran away!
...genius.
...nit.
...<your putdown here>
Alright, now I just get rid of Sheep an...
...I quit.
...huh?
Have the stinking version, I'm kinda tired of it anyway, coffee this, J'ACCUSE that...
Umn, thanks?
No problem. Hey, I'll show you the Version controls. 
Oooh. Shiny buttons. 
See, this one gives every character 5,000,000 volts. 
...I was beginning to think lightning strikes in the middle of a sunny day were a bit strange... 
This one orders coffee. 
...any donuts?
Oooh, what's this shiny red one do? 
DITTO pressed RED BUTTON! 
YOU FOOL! DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO PRESS RED BUTTONS!? 
Attention Storm Version! Attention Storm Version! Selfdestruct sequence has been initiated! 
DUO wakes up! 
KITE returns.
...did we win?
...Hey! I thought we uninstalled the self-destruct! 
It's this pesky Windows Operating System. You're never truly rid of anything... 
...umn, I think we have a problem...SELF DESTRUCT?!
Nope, you have a problem. 
It's your version. 
Enjoy it while you can... 
Ugh, wait, where's the reverse?! There must be a reverse!!!
...you can speak like a normal person?
OF COURSE, JUST STOP THE VERSION FROM BLOWING UP!!!
Sorry, reverse is only on the registered Version. 
UNDO UNDO UNDO!!
DUO sprints for the door!
Must save Iron Chef, must save Iron Chef! 

Just around the corner... 

IRON CHEF: Mmm, flesh. 
Iron Chef! That's cannibalism! Oh, who cares, quick, we have to run to the Mildly Vegetated Area Where Most People Return!

Five minutes later... 

*gasp*, finally here! 
PORTAL to CRYSTAL opened! 
TICKETING OFFICE appeared! 

*gasp*, two for Crystal Version, please.. 
TICKETER: That'll be $5.50, no credit cards or checks. 
...please tell me you brought money with you.
IRON CHEF: ... 
...Wait, will you accept anime videos? 
TICKETER: Anime videos? Of course! 
Okay, here's 10 DBZ episodes. 
TICKETER: DBZ? HAH! I'll need at least 20, people can only stand the first 15 seconds anyway.
...you have any anime on you Iron Chef?
IRON CHEF:...Right, and where would I keep it? Under my hat?
...Yes. 
DUO checks under IRON CHEF's HAT!
Gah, only a cooking documentary... 
...starring you! 
TICKETER: It's more interesting than the DBZ anyway...
We have to battle, don't we?
TICKETER nods!
*sigh* oh, of course...go IRONCHEFPB!
DUO wants to fight!
DUO sent out IRONCHEFPB!
IRON CHEF: Hey, wait, why are you sending me out?!
...you want to stay here and die?
IRONCHEFPB: point...
TICKETER sent out TICKET!
IRONCHEFPB: *yoink* see ya later!
IRONCHEFPB runs into CRYSTAL VERSION!
...oh god, I'll just, umn...HEY, WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE!
DUO used the OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK!
It's super effective!
Got away safely!
TICKETER: I still don't see anything...
BOOK isn't read much in these mildly vegetated parts!

Far from this trickery, the other webmasters are attempting to deactivate the self-destruct.. 

I TOLD YOU SPILLING COFFEE IN IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA!
But coffee helps everything!!!
...*sigh* I'm heading to Liquid. Later.

...meanwhile...

Player: Hippy

Alright, now to increase my attack rate!
HIPPY used SPEED!
It's super effective!
HOTARU: I thought that was called "haste"
Trust me, it's speed.
KITE appeared! 
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!
...what's wrong with you?
THE PLACE IS GONNA EXPLODE!!!!!!
Dude, let me finish this bottle of speed first. 
HOTARU: ...we're gonna die?
Don't be ridiculous! Only Extras die.
Nope, you're dead.
...Ah.
...fine, follow me, we're out of here!

At the Mildly Vegetated Area Where Most People Return...

TICKETER is still looking!
KITE and OTHERS quietly sneak into LIQUID VERSION!
TICKETER: You know, I really hope this isn't some elaborate plot to make me look the other way while webmasters and characters sneak into other versions before this one explodes......Nah.

The final webmaster, Sheep, had to make his escape...

SHEEP is drinking COFFEE! 
KATE: "Sheep! We have to go! 
Just...one more cup... 
KATE picks up COFFEE MACHINE!
KATE: If you want any more coffee you'll just have to come with me!
...Kate...put the coffee machine down and no one will get hurt. 
KATE runs with COFFEE MACHINE!
AAAH! YOU CRAZY CHARACTER, WHAT'RE YOU DOING! 
KATE: Saving you!!!
Just...one more cup...
KATE: Oh, fine. guess I'll join you.

5 cups later...

Maybe we should get going... 
KATE: But we haven't tried the mocha/mint blend yet...
Oh, right...

3 cups later...

KATE: Ok, I guess we go now.
Dun worry, we can make it there in plenty of time...
SHEEP used CAFFINE RUSH!
It's super effective!
Five seconds to selfdestruct!
Hah, I eat five seconds for breakfast.

Two seconds later...

TICKETER: You have your tickets?
...Yeah, they're right over there.
TICKET TAKER: Where?

One second later...

TICKETER: I don't know what these people see that I don't, but it must be pretty amazing.
PORTAL to CLOUD VERSION opened!
KATE: Good luck!
May the coffee be with you!
SHEEP and KATE jumped through the portal!

One second later...

Bah! o_o
BAH! O_O
Bah... ;_;
Bah!
GREEN-TEXT-SHEEP jumped through the portal!

Another second later...

TICKETER: Wait, I think I see it!
NARRATOR disappeared in a Jigglypuff of smoke!

THANK YOU FOR READING

STORM VERSION


Recap: A few months ago, the Storm Webmasters fled to their respective network sites in order to escape the version exploding (more on this in Storm Battle 23). Now they're back.

Battle 24: Coffee doesn't die, it only gets cold
Date: A bloody long time since the last one - September 25th, 2001
Author: Little Stormy Writing Hood. No, really.

Setting: Mildly Vegetated Area Where Most People Return!
Player: Ticketer


...No, wait, I don't see it.
LIQUID, CLOUD, and CRYSTAL portals appeared!
KITE, SHEEP, and DUO appeared!
...You didn't happen to slip in a portal and disappear for several months while my back was turned did you?
Who, us? No.
Oh, okay.
Ah...it's good to be back...so, what's on our agenda?
We could start by telling confused readers what the hell is going on, I suppose.
No, there is something of far greater importance to be done first...
TO THE COFFEE MACHINE!
DUO ran away!
...he'll drink it all, after him!
KITE and TOBY ran away!
...so alone...
KATE, PBIRONCHEF, and GREEN TEXT SHEEP appeared!
BAH!
KATE: My thoughts exactly, I smell caffeine...
PBIRONCHEF: God, you people were talking about that the whole way here!
KATE: It only took a fraction of a second to get through the portal...
PBIRONCHEF: One fraction too long.
BAH T_T
KATE and GREEN TEXT SHEEP ran away!
PBIRONCHEF: So...fancy going to the cinema?
Eh, sure, beats being a one-dimensional character anyday.
First I have to find this thing people keep seeing, though. I think I caught a glimpse of it a few months ago, but suddenly it was gone...

Setting: Storm Version Meeting Room

DUO runs for coffee machine!
DUO trips over huddled mass of JELLO!

Player: Ditto

...and type commas,without spaces.
You're still here?
...What the? I thought I was dead! My life flashed by my eyes!

Setting: Ditto's Life

DITTO eats things!

Setting: Storm Version Meeting Room

It took you a whole 6 months to have that flashback?
...You don't know how much I've eaten, do you?
Besides, I watched it again a few times.
SHEEP and DUO drink the last of the coffee!
Oh, great, talk to the blob of jello and miss out on everything...
You coulda left some for me you know...
That would go against my principles.
One thing bothers me though...what was that noise?
The big, version-exploding noise?
Oh, that was just my car back-firing
Your car makes noises like "cheese is good?"
You've never been in my car, have you?
So...Storm didn't really explode?
You're here, aren't you?
Well, according to Decartes...
Since when do you know philosophy?
Would you rather I say moo and dingle?
Point.
But...what have I been doing these last few months?!
You've been watching your life flash by your eyes. And learning philosophy, by the sounds of it.
...Hey guys, do you see what Ditto has in his hands?...the looks...the smell...that rich...Columbian-like texture...
It's coffee. We're going to have to act stealthily if we want to stay undetected and retrieve it.
Duo, he knows we're here.
Yeah. But if we aren't detected then he won't!
..
Nevermind.
Hey, this is my coffee! I found it while you were gone!
All the coffee is ours, moron.
But you guys ran away, and, I....
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
No, my coffee!
DUO wants to fight!
SHEEP wants to fight!
...pheh, might as well.
KITE wants to fight!
Hmm.. All I've got right now is pocket change.
They don't call it pocket monsters for nothing!
Oh yes, I'm sure this quarter would be a GREEEEEEAAAAAAT fighter!
Yes. In fact, he's a QUARTERBACK! HAHAHAHAHA!
DUO send out QUARTER!
CRAP X_x
My turn to send out something, right?
Pretty much.
KITE opened BLACK PORTAL!
KITE sent out HIPPY!
Hey, no fair!
I know!
TOBY sent out NEW ZEALAND!
...That fits in a pokeball?
It's THAT SMALL!
Actually, I didn't know it was big enough to even fit in a pokeball...
Yea, I thought maybe it would miss and hit Australia or something.
DITTO sent out AUSTRALIA!
...Dude, you can go away now.
But I have nowhere to go! T_T
Hm. We'll have to get rid of this Ditto then!
TOBY used ZED!
DITTO is confused!
*smash*
DITTO hurt .. itself in it's confusion! 
COFFEE greatly fell!
DAMNIT MAN, WATCH OUT FOR THE COFFEE!
KITE dives for coffee!
SHEEP dives for coffee!
DUO dives for coffee!
Oh, I can't look!
...GREEN TEXT SHEEP catches the CUP!
I don't want to do this to a fellow woolen creature but...you die now!
Mmm, good coffee.
What's he doing to that coffee? Is he drinking it?
Nevermind the odd plot hole of having it talk, get the coffee before he drinks it all!
Well, I'm not too sure about the coffee, I'm just impressed by the sheer brilliance of his catch!
GASP! THE PUN! IT'S TOO STRONG! BRAIN CELLS...MELTING...
BRAIN...HURTING...WORSE...THEN...AFTER...24-HOURS...DBZ...MARATHON...
Hey, I'm sure it doesn't matter. Grey matter, that is.
DUO died! 
KITE died! 
GREEN TEXT SHEEP died! 
QUARTER died! 
DITTO died! 
HIPPY died! 
NEW ZEALAND...miraculously survived...must have built up a pun tolerance...
Hmm...I'd call the morgue, but they're right outside the staff room, and they probably heard me too.
Hey, everyone died... 
NARRATOR w- 
*ahem* 
...gah...EVERYONE was brought back...except for HIPPY, who died a horribly icky nasty DEATH! 
AND! 
...AND TOBY has the COFFEE! 
That's what I thought.
TOBY holds up COFFEE!
TOBY sips through STRAW!
Mmm, smooth rich.. decaffeinated coffee. 
TOBY double-takes! 
... decaffeinated?
TOBY spits the coffee, straw and all, on KITE!
Ugh! That's it! That's the last straw!
We're ending on that lame pun? 
Pretty much. 
Works for me.

Zzz

STORM WEBMASTERS are FAST ASLEEP!

Honkey-shoo.

...
NARRATOR pokes KITE!

Urrh..zzz

Hmn...this calls for drastic measures....
*ahem*
Whoa, is that Tifa over there bending over suggestively?

Wha?

Huh?

Coffee?

You guys DO remember you have a battle to write?

We do? Can't we just go back on hiatus for a few months after updating sporadically?

NO!

Damn.

Look, we were up watching the 24-hour documentary on the making of coffee...

You're kidding, right?

COFFEE GOOD FOR DUO!

You're not kidding -_-

Right, anyway, we need our sleep, so if you'll excuse me, I was having a rather pleasant dream about a world made of coffee....

You WILL update!
NARRATOR has been BORED for MONTHS!

You could have just tortured Ditto for fun.

...what do you think I did for the first month?

Oh, well, if you'll excuses us, we're going back to sleep.

But it's 6 PM!

6 PM? That can only mean one thing...

DBZ!

DBZ!

Star Trek!

DUO and KITE stare at SHEEP!

...but...Trek is better than you're bad animation.

Yes, but do people beat each other up with super-powers and weird glowing haircuts?

Nope, that's what makes it good.

...ok, we watch Trek then.

WAIT A SECOND!
YOU GUYS aren't going to FIGHT over what to WATCH?!

...umn, should we?

YES!
DAMNIT MAN, IT'S TRADITION!
COFFEE JOKES, A FEW DBZ JOKES, THEN BATTLE!

We're civilized people, we don't have to resort to violence.

Unless of course we're talking about caffeinated coffee, then the first person we see dies.

Quite.

COFFEE MAKER sprung a LEAK!

...you die, narrator.

You want to kill me, or fix your coffee machine?

...well I...

NEW SHADOW PORTAL appeared!

What in the name of Lani?

SEAL appeared!
SEAL SEALed HOLE in COFFEE MAKER!

Yay! ^_^ Let's go watch Trek now.

...gah, all my attempts at creating some sort of plot for this battle has gone awry...
It's time for plan B... 


Player: Dit-

WAIT!
What?

We're the main characters here, you HAVE to write about us!

But you're BORING! The PEOPLE demand ACTION! ADVENTURE! EXCITEMENT!

CHEESE!

...some demand cheese but not most.

But cheese is gouda!

You're a sharp man Toby

Yeah, I'm pretty grate.

STOP!
NO MORE CHEESE PUNS! YOU'RE MAKING PEOPLES EARS BLEED IN A VERY MATT-IAN WAY!

Who's Ian?

...

Just let me go write some crap about Ditto and we can be done with this -_-

Look, we've written enough about Ditto..we need something new...

You mean, we might actually create new, original characters?

What about Kate and Iron Chef?

Bleh, we ran them into the ground already... 
Bah! ^_^
Go away, we don't need your help. 
Bah -_-
We'll make it a 3-battle thing. Each day everyone creates at least one new character, agreed?

Agreed.

Agreed, and I go first.

Why?

Cause I wrote this battle, silly sheep.

Silly Sheep, like silly...man, we've got a lot of tired jokes around here...let's just get on with this.

Right.

KITE opens PORTAL to KHAZAN!

What?

The FPL, or the AoC, depending upon preference...I have a few characters there...

Is that wise, Kite?

Sure it is ^_^ Trust me!

...I trust Kite only as far as I can fly him...

KITE flew up high!

IIIII've got no strings, to hold me down...

KITE flew away!
YOUR FATHER and TWINKMAN step through portal! 

Player: TwinkMan

I thought I heard that this place was blown up?
Oh, that? That was just the TV.

Your TV makes loud exploding noises?

We were watching DBZ

Oh.

YOURFATHER: TwinkMan!

Fat smelly man on a floating couch! o_O;

YOURFATHER: You're a dead man!
YES! JUST WHAT NARRATOR NEEDED! PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR NO APPARENT REASON!
TWINKMAN wants to fight!
YOURFATHER wants to fight!
TWINKMAN sent out TWINKMAN!
YOURFATHER sent out YOURFATHER!

KAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEENOOOBIIIIIISHOOOOOOOOOUNEN!

TWINKMAN ...rather dramatically might I add... used KAMENOBISHOUNEN!
TWINKMAN is SURROUNDED by a BRIGHT YELLOW AURA!
YOURFATHER: Whoa, your hair...

Huh? I'm bald you git.

YOURFATHER: Oh, right, wrong twink.
YOURFATHER used COUCH BASH!
Hit 3 times!

Ouch >< Stupid couch, here, feel this!
KAAAAMEEENOOOOBAAAAKAAAMOOONOOO! Hah!

TWINKMAN used KAMENOBAKAMONO!
YOURFATHER: No fair, I thought twinks never used their best moves till the end of their match!

After getting the living crap beat out of you on a few occasions you learn.

KAMENOBAKAMONO hit YOURFATHER in a GIANT BLAST!
SMOKE appeared!

Oh, great, let me guess, the smoke's going to clear and he'll be fine...

SMOKE cleared!
YOURFATHER fainted!

Whoa, that's new O_O

TWINKMAN wins!

Killer. Let's do this again sometime. Later, got crime to fight.

TWINKMAN ran away!

...dude, that sucked Kite.

And on that great note, we wish you a good day!

After they leave, you're gonna pay for that piece of crap, Kite.
