Summary:

MBB is destroying everything by doing the Macarena all over the RASS
system
because of a virus unleashed by Robo C'Pi

*****************************
Steve picked up his duck shaped Drake doll: "Don't be hatin mesa
because mya so beautiful, Ponte." Steve picks up his Ponte doll: "How
can mesa be hatin yousa? Yousa are mesa's truest love. Be givin me
some sugar baby!" Steve makes the dolls kiss passionately.

The door opens and SD-KcK walks in. "Sir..." Steve whirls around in a
rage and started to force choke SD-KcK. "How many times has mesa been
telling yousa to NEVER be interruptin mesa's meditatin!?!" Steve
screamed as he choked the droid harder and lifted him off the ground.
"Sir! The assassination attempt on Drake failed!" the terrified droid
wheezed. Steve immediately dropped the droid and contemplated this new
information. "Dis is bombad. Why were yousa not tellin me this until
now?" "Well, sir, you've been meditating for quite a long time..."

Steve thought a moment and replied, "Oh. Ok, itsa time to be bringin
mesa plan to fruition." Steve glared at the droid, daring him to make
fun of his vocabulary and continued, "Be orderin da fleet to da far
side of the planet RASSM. Der my will be meetin dem to be commencin da
attack on da city."

As they approached the Planet RASSM a terrible sound filled the
iShip..."Egad! What are dey doin down der!?!" Steve clapped his hands
over his ears and made his way to the bridge. "Sir, it appears they're
using audio warfare!" yelled SD-KcK. "Get mesa some ear muffs!" The
droid brought him a pair of fluffy pink ear muffs which Steve quickly
donned. "Ah, mesa feel much better. Be sendin our G-wing starfighters
to attack da porn star and be finishin what dat two bit bounty hunter
left undone. My will be takin da troops down to da surface of da
planet and be makin me da supreme bombad ruler of RASSM."

*****************************

The G-wings approached the disheveled Porn Star and commenced thier
attack. Exploiting a security hole in the Porn Star's MS shielding,
they entered the core of the 'Star and found that it had toilet drive.
Suprised at their luck, they launched a few cherry bombs into the
bowl, and got out of there as fast as their G6's could take em.

The Porn Star was rocked with explosions as the cherry bombs did their
work, breaking into three large pieces. Two of the pieces hurled off
into space, while the third entered the atmosphere of the planet
headed for a crash landing somewhere on the surface. As luck would
have it, the piece landed right on the MBB, destroying it and
silencing that infernal song for all time. A sound like billions of
sighs of relief could be heard for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, Steve landed with his invasion force and made his way to
the Sith War archives in the center of RASSM City. Finding it
unguarded, he changed archives to make gungans as the heros and
encoded the archives with a code he wrote down and put in a locket
around his neck. Well, all except Sith War IV...

"Hey! Da archive for da Sith War IV is missin! Librarian! Where be dis
Sith War IV!" The librarian, an older matronly lady, approached the
perturbed Gungan sith lord with a helpful look on her face. "May I
help you, sir?" "Yes, my lookin for da Sith War IV archive. Itsa
should be bein right dere" Steve pointed to a blank area on the
screen. The librarian pressed a few buttons on the console and looked
a bit puzzled. "I'm sorry sir, I hate to admit this, but I can't seem
to find the Sith War you are referring to." Steve looked at her and
being a Gungan sith lord, got angry as perturbed gungan sith lords are
supposed to, "What!? Itsa has to be bein dere! Don't yousa be knowin
whosa my am!? My can be crunchin yousa in a second!" The librarian
looked a bit exasperated and replied, "Sir, if a Sith War isn't in our
archives, then it doesn't exist!" Frustrated, Steve contemplated
choking the librarian, but he had more important things to do. He
wrote down the coordinates for the missing Sith War and left the
archives.

Before leaving he gave orders to his senior iWok generals to complete
capture of the planet and to start erecting statues of famous gungans
over the city and to alter any current statues to make them look more
like gungans. After boarding his iShip, Steve had it hover over the
City to make his first speech as supreme bombad ruler of RASSM.
"Peoples of RASSM City! My am Steve, yousa's new supreme ruler. Yousa
will be handin over any Sith Warriors for gungificatin! Desa will not
be gettin aways from mesa. Any person hidin dem will be mooie mooie
punished!"
Steve turned off the loudspeaker. "SD-Kck, yousa will be stayin here
to be makin sure Jade, da Haacker, Gumby, Muuurgh, and anyone else is
bein captured. When yousa find dem, bring dem to mesa. Send da iWoks
everywheres, be leavin no stone unturned!" "Yes sir."

The iShip sped off into space, headed for Sith War IV.

********************************

SUMMARY:
The Porn Star is destroyed.
A cherry bomb broke the Porn Star into three parts. Presumably, Drake
is on one of the pieces.
The MBB has been destroyed ending the macarena's reign of terror.
The iWoks invade RASSM City and Steve takes over. They're searching
the city for Jade and co.
The Sith War Archives have been changed.
Rich Handley is Jar Jar.

The true Gungan Mafia had infinitely more style, the Sith War Goddess
thought to herself.
A brief rumble was heard as all the counterfeit Gungan statues
skyrocketed off the planet and into space, converging on the iShip.
Moments later, the iShip resembled nothing as much as a Gungan-quilled
porcupine, as the statues had impaled themselves all over its hull.

Brushing an invisible speck of dust off the unaltered statue of Rich
Handley, the Goddess restored the archives to their true state.

Elsewhere, Drake and Ponte were being taken prisoner when suddenly
RASSM City began to twist in time, and all stopped except for Drake.
Looking around he realized the problem, The Deity had altered the story
but after others had accepted the change. The Sith War had fallen into
a horrid Continuity Error Time-Freeze. Why Drake was the only one
not stuck like the others became clear when he called out.

"Um, Deity? Remember me, your old High Priest? Um, I think we got
a problem here..." Drake said, trying to get the attention of the great
Deity
who he had served in previous times.

Getting no immediate answer Drake continued. "I was thinking, could you
put the Gungan stuff back, except of course for the great statue of Rich
Handley, so as to unstick the war and keep, you know, the gamalost like
brown substance from hitting the fan?"

Looking around once more at the frozen dimension. "Pretty please with
hairless gamalost covered gold bikini wearing humiliated Ewoks on top?"

Hoping that the Deity would take pity on those in the war, Drake retook
the place he was in before the time freeze and went back to working on
his own post and hoping that the great and magnanimous Deity would
grant his request.

Um, please?

Uh, wouldn't that be a pin cushion? Since a porcupine would indicate
the statues were poking *out* of the ship rather than into it.

Sheesh, can't I have a couple days loss of ISP followed by a week's
worth of time in Wales (was great) without people getting stuck? Don't
tell me you needed the fake Gungan statues in your stories. Or fake
archives.

That's all I explicitly disposed of, you know.

Here's hoping you did post your stuff - I am just starting some hefty
NG catching-up.

I somehow doubt that, as my accent is very antidrawling :)
(It actually sounds more scandinavian now than it has in years, due to
losing some American drawl (amount of voice used on some consonants,
and how I pronounce some vowels) in the company of people from
Yorkshire and surroundings)

Down South (I'm talking southeastern America) we use more vowels than
consonants and we talk more slowly so if you have any problems with
pronounciations, I don't think we'd notice. ;-)

We sound more like a less whispy Gone with the Wind than O Brother
Where Art Thou. Just in case you feel like practicing. Actually we're
somewhere in between that in some places...but don't use England for
comparison tho.

Just start talking like you've sitting on a covered porch and it's 100
degrees outside with some noticeable humidity for a few hours.

-Rainbow Heron
(sig likes different accents)

The sheriff in Nell and Sally Field in Forrest Gump are excellent
examples.

I did spend two months in NC once. During midsummer. And even though
that is when I started picking up Americanese, it didn't slow down my
more staccato speech pattern at all :) (I am more likely to stutter
and mince words than to slow down...)
