"Game Over": MiSTed!
H\A: Hello, folks! Daemon-chan and I welcome you to our second MiSTing!
DC: Hey there!...wait, where's our first one?
H\A: *blushing* Well, it's not finished yet, but this one is, so we're posting it first!
DC: Oh, okay!
H\A: Today's fic will be a rare, hard to find story by Meghan Wilk!
DC: Wait--that's the chick who coined the phrase, "You just racked the User!", right?
H\A: Uh huh...
DC: And she wrote "Gotcha" too, right?
H\A: Uh huh...
DC: Oh! This'll rock then!
H\A: (grinning) We'll see. It's a rewrite of the episode 'Game Over'...
DC: An ep rewrite? Oh no...
H\A:from the point-of-view of one of your FAVORITE characters...
DC: Oh GOD no...
H\A: I'll give ya a hint...sugah!
DC: NOOOOOOOOO!
H\A: There, there, suck it up. We're starting!
You know,
DC: I'm REALLY tired, and I think I'll go home now--
H\A: SIT.
you almost have to admire Megabyte's persistence.
H\A: (Megabyte) I've finally captured all 150 Pokemon--PLUS Mew!
Even when he's trapped behind a firewall, he still knows how to cause trouble.
And today was no exception.
DC: He works even on holidays.
"Motion sensors focused on G-Prime have just gone off the scale!"
H\A: And that means...
DC: (Specks) Documents state viral readings only get that high at the peek of an orgasim--what in the net?!
Dot was another person you had to admire.
H\A: (Dot) I got all the Pokemon MONTHS ago, plus all the gold skulltulas in Zelda, as well as winning the ReBoot game as Bob, Dot, AND Enzo!
DC: (Megabyte) Show off...over-achiever...
One of these cycles I'm gonna figure out how she always knows what to do.
H\A: (Dot, reading) 'This side up'...see?
DC: (Mouse) Ah don't git it...
H\A: Not a bad impersonation. You forgot the 'sugah', though.
"We've got movement --
H\A: How much movement?
lots of movement.
H\A: Oh.
There's a buildup of forces at the firewall," Specks explained. "Looks like Megabyte's having a party and everyone's invited."
DC: I'll bring the nachos!
H\A: Ooh, will there be twister? I LOVE twister!
ME:Yeah there will be pretzels as the main course Dark Tigeress is in charge of food.
DC & H\A: ...
H\A: Who the HECK is that?
ME: It's Me.
DC: Well we've established that fact.
H\A: Just ignore it; maybe it'll go away.
Typical Megabyte. When he was settin' up to take over, he made sure everybody knew it.
DC: He was starved for attention as a child.
But Dot, as always, was on top of things.
DC: On top of _what_?
H\A: *giggles* Stop that!
"Prepare auto-defense mode 9704."
DC: Then load the interstellar motor number 435011...
H\A: Okay, that's enough.
DC: 745283...
H\A: I said knock it off!
DC: hehehe
I nodded and started entering in the codes. Amazing-- when we first met, I never would have believed that in a little more than an hour,
DC: We'd be in bed doing the naked pretzel!
H\A: Daemon-chan! Don't make me leave you under a bridge!
DC: (meakly) I'll be good...honest!
H\A: It helps to threaten your co-MiSTers with their deepest fears--in this case, it's bridges. Go figure.
DC: Oh, shut up! Wait'll I find out YOUR deepest fear...
I'd be taking orders from her. Phong said something about Hexadecimal's power breaching the firewall--
DC: That's not the ONLY thing she's breached...
H\A: The I-10 overpass isn't far from here.
DC: ...like her contract?
H\A: That was a lame recovery.
and he was right. In a matter of nanoseconds, viral troops were coming through the wall in a steady stream.
DC: ...
H\A: Daemon, I'm warning you.
DC: But, but that sentence DEMANDS that I make a comment about faulty condoms here!
H\A: We'll be right back folks.
They were heading right for us -- but we couldn't do anything until Dot gave the command.
H\A: There, that didn't take long! Uh, I don't think you'll hear too much from Daemon-chan for a bit.
DC: ...
H\A: Hee hee hee...
"Wait for it..."
H\A: (Dot) That eBay auction ends in five minutes. I can still squeeze in the top bid!
Wait for it?! In a few nanoseconds, they'd be right on top of us. What was she waiting for?
H\A: (Mouse) I don't CARE if 'Friends' is almost over, Dot. The virals are attacking NOW!
H\A: (Dot) Oh c'mon, just five more minutes!
H\A: ...
H\A: You know, this isn't any fun by myself.
"Er, Dot?" Phong ventured.
H\A: (Phong) You have something stuck between your teeth.
DC: ...bridge...dark...could collapse...the HORROR!
H\A: Alright, I give up! Here's a pixie stix.
DC: Oooooo...pixie! I like pixie!
"Megabyte is not with them." So, she was holding out for the big fish.
DC: Since when is MB a fish?
H\A: Feeling better now?
DC: Uh-huh. Can I have another pixie stix now?
And he was sending out his guppies to clear a path. Coward.
H\A: Use the crab meat! You'll never hook a big one with guppies!
DC: I'll write that one off since you grew up near Bayou La Batre.
H\A: I think I'm the only one in the area who doesn't own a copy of "Forrest Gump" or a shrimp boat.
Dot echoed my thought:
DC: Ooh, she's psycic!
H\A: I wonder if she can see dead people too.
DC: No! No references to scary movies!!
H\A: So when the bridge threat doesn't work anymore, I can just make you watch "The Sixth Sense"?
DC: (sticks out toungue) Pooh on you!
"You blue-tinned coward; come and get us!"
H\A: (Dot) We refuse to take public transportation!
"Sis!" Enzo called out.
DC: Whoa, when'd Enzo get here?
H\A: Oh, they show him at the beginning of the ep, remember?
DC: Well, they failed to show him at the beginning of the fic!
H\A: Picky, picky.
"We've gotta activate the defenses -- now!"
H\A: You better, or that sheet cake's gonna burn.
"I know; I know. Hit 'em hard, Mouse!"
H\A: (Enzo) OW! That hurt!
DC: (Mouse) Just followin' orders, sugah!
Just the words I'd been waiting for.
DC: (Dot) Oh, Mouse, shut up and kiss me!
H\A: You're pushing it.
I turned to the officers. "You heard the lady --
DC: (Mouse) Okay, I got witnesses! You heard her confess her love...
H\A: You're gonna bring up every sexuel innuendo in this thing, aren't you?
DC: Naturally.
all cannons deploy. Safety's off. Let 'em rip!"
DC: ...Mouse's head off!
H\A: I'm gonna get flamed from the Mouse fans 'cause of you, so shush!
We had the virals right where we wanted them.
H\A: (Mouse) Okay, you viral scum...truth or dare?
DC: Yeah, speaking of Truth or Dare, Meg better finish that fic, fast! I'll need some GOOD Wilk to read as I recover from...from THIS!
H\A: Aw, I'd say this is fairly tolerable.
In an instant, dozens of cannons were unloading on the ABCs, who turned tail so fast they practically left aerial skid marks.
H\A: How DO you leave an aerial skid mark?
DC: Same way you have a train reaction.
H\A: You've got that "Guardian Lust" MiST memorized, don't you?
VidWindows inside the Principle Office showed us the whole thing;
H\A: And speaking of "Guardian Lust"...
DC: (Phong) The 'Bob Banging Dot' tape sales have slowed...but with 'Mouse Banging Dot', I'll make a mint!
troops that managed to escape our fire crashed into the now-solid firewall. The whole attack force was wiped out.
H\A: (Viral) Jeez, after all that crashing and burning, I'm pooped! How 'bout you?
Take that, Megabyte, I thought.
DC: (Bartok) I'd give him a THIS! and a THAT! and I'd kick him, sir.
That'll teach you; mess with us, and we'll nail your viral butt to the wall.
H\A: Then you're gonna need a big-ASCII nail gun.
I didn't see Dot for a few nanoseconds after that;
ME: She was looking for the Big-ASCII nail gun.
H\A: Oh, there it is again. Go away!
ME:(Phong) This is not the super computer...all we have is a small-ASCII glue gun.
DC: Hey...that was actually pretty good!
when she did join the celebration,
Both: (singing) Celebrate good times, come on!
DC: (Dot) Come on everybody! Conga line!
she acted happy enough, but it seemed forced.
DC: (Dot) Must hold back...mad rage...to KILL...
Poor girl. She'd lost so much in such a short time: her diner,
H\A: Her mono-boob,
her normal life,
H\A: Her sanity,
Bob --
DC: Her virginity,
H\A: It useless trying to stop you.
ME: Duck tape might work.
H\A: Hey, that's not a bad idea...
DC: (sulking) Now they're consorting.
I could tell she loved him, even if she wasn't ready to admit it to herself yet.
DC: (Mouse) Hey, Dot--
H\A: (Dot) I DON'T LOVE BOB!
DC: (Mouse) Jeez, sugah, don't bite mah head off! I just wanted to borrow a big-ASCII nail gun...
I watched her high-five Enzo, her smile finally looking genuine.
DC: That's because she's holding her hand up too high for Enzo to reach.
H\A: Hey! There's nothing wrong with short people!
DC: Talk to the hand--IF you can reach it!
H\A: Ugh!
DC: (singing) 'I got friends in low places...'
H\A: (silently fuming)
At least she's still got her brother, I thought.
DC: Well, you know that he's done for then.
H\A: Of course we know that; we've SEEN the episode already.
Later that day, we got our second dose of excitement.
H\A: (nurse) I need 5 CCs of excitement, STAT!
Warning lights on the command console began to flash;
DC: Oops, looks like Phong forgot to gas it up again.
Enzo was at the board in an instant, Dot and AndrAIa right behind him.
DC: Whoa, AndrAIa's here too?
H\A: Like I said, we're s'pose to KNOW who's here cause we've SEEN the episode already!!
DC: Sheesh, somebody's being a sourpuss.
"The new long-range sensors Mouse fitted to the defense grid are registering a -- a massive energy build above the city," Specks reported.
ME: What ever happend to "Warning...Incoming Game"?
DC: Maybe they didn't want to say that, okay? Jeez, it's like there's a ghost in here or something!
H\A: (Sixth Sense) Have you ever felt the prickly things on the back of your neck?
DC: If I look up to see a little dead girl throwing up, I'm going to kill you.
On to Part Deux!
