The Guests

It
was just another day at the ROV, where various villains from the past, present
and future collided. In the parking lot, vehicles of all shapes and sizes were
parked. A grayish portal opens and two figures emerge from it. One was tall and
grey with triangular ears. Moonlight shines off his metallic body as he helps
his friend up.
“Thank
you Gurther.” The other figure said as he puts a hand through his brown hair.
He was small and has big hairy feet (he wore no shoes).
“Where do you think we are Frodo? I’ve been to many dimensions, but
I’ve never been to this one.” Gurther said as he looks around.
“I don’t want to find out. Take me back to Mount Doom.”
“Wish I could. I can’t unless you concentrate. If you don’t ten
hours from now it will begin again and I will jump to a new dimension. Sorry I
took you with me, but you were standing next to me.” Gurther explains. He’d
been jumping from dimension to dimension for what seem like eons. He didn’t
remember much of his past. He always wonders what he was and what was his
purpose.
“I can use a breather right now. I can always go back before the ten
hours are up right?”
“Yes you can, but don’t wait until the last minute.”
“I won’t, it’s just nice to get away from it all,” Frodo said
as he takes the ring out of his pocket and ties it around his neck. What Frodo
didn’t know was that the ring power stretches far.
Cobra
Commander tests a yellow block before trying to get it out.
“Jenga, jenga, JENGA!” Shredder shouts as Cobra Commander fingers
begin to remove it. The whole structure of blocks was shaking. Slowly inch by
inch he moves the block without toppling the structure of blocks over.
“Do that again and I’ll make you listen to Vader on Karaoke night.”
“No, anything but that!”
“What, you don’t like my singing?” Darth Vader asks from another
table where he was playing against Foy, a ten-foot tall alien whose skin was
red.
“You can’t hardly breathe in that thing. How’d you expect to sing
good?” Cheesebit said. He was a big piece of cheese. All he had were five
feet, two eyes and a mouth.
“At least I don’t have rats crawling all over me,” Vader spat back.
“What! Rat King get them off me,” Cheesebit said as he tires to throw
them off him. Before the Rat King could reply, Saruman yells out:
“THE RING! IT’S HERE HOW?”
“What’s this fool talking about? What ring?” Mumm-Ra asks as Bebop
knocks over the tower of blocks ending the game.
“Oh nothing. Excuse me, I must be going,” Saruman said as he hurries
off.
“Zartan follow him and make sure you’re not seen. If you hear
anything, report back to me,” Cobra Commander said to an unseen figure.
“Um… boss who’s he talking to?” Bebop said as he scratches his
head.
“Zartan can blend into his surroundings. He’s also a master of
disguise. Now stop asking questions,” Shredder said as he hits Bebop on his
head.
At
another table Terrorsaur, Rampage, Boba Fett and Sabertooth were playing
Blackjack.
“I raise you two chips.”
“I raise you five.”
“I can’t believe we’re playing with potatoes chips,” Boba Fett
said as he shakes his head.
“I ain’t complaining. I’m going to eat good tonight,” Sabertooth
said as he put his five chips in.
“Rampage, your chips got nacho cheese on them,” Terrorsaur said as he
begins to reach for Rampage’s chips. Rampage stands up to his full height.
“Are you trying to tell me my chips are no good?” Rampage asks as he
grabs Terrorsaur’s arm.
“No, not at all. I meant do you have more?”
“You bet I do. Here you go, have some.” Rampage said as he dumps the
contents of his bowl on Terrorsaur’s head.
“Hehe that’s a good one.”
“Want to hear something funny,” Boba Fett said. Sabertooth nods his
head. “That wannabe bounty hunter Greedo’s waiting for me in the parking
lot.”
“What’s so funny about that?”
“Think who’s always outside in the parking lot around this time?”
Boba Fett said as he taps his helmet.
“That’a right and Shadow Storm would most likely be with him.
You’re hoping he pisses one of them off. Good one.”
“Oh trust me he will.”
“Hey look, it’s one of those Borg thingys,” Rampage said as a Borg
walks over to their table.
“Prepare for assimilation. Resistance is futile.”
“Then why on every Star Trek Episode they escape you and/or destroy
you?” Terrorsaur said underneath the nacho cheese.
“Um… error. Can’t compute. Ove…rl…oad…ing.”
The Borg said as he/she overheats.
“That
was unexpected,” Boba Fett comments as two Jawas carries off the Borg. They
now completely forgotten their game and was now watching television. “Hey
change the channel!” Sabertooth said as he throws chips at the bartender.
“Kept
going, more, leave it. Now that’s mine kind of show.” Rampage said as the
Bartender changes it to the Price is Right.
“Here
we’ve got a Dining set from Sewto. Your bid is?” Bob Parker said.
“It’s
1200.” Terrorsaur said.
“No,
it got to be higher than that. It 1670.” Rampage said.
“It’s lower. I think I got that at home. If I
remember it’s 700.” Sabertooth said. Upon hearing this they all look at him.
“What? Can’t villains have nice things?”
Greedo was killed by Han Solo in a cantina, but that didn’t matter here. Boba Fett called him here to go on a hunt for him. Him with Boba Fett one of the greatest bounty hunters ever. He was late, which was unlike him. He was either early or on time. Oh well, he could wait another hour. “Hey you, come over here. What’s your story.” Greedo said as he grabs Frodo. Gurther went to check the area out. Frodo stayed behind and was one caught by a strange, green alien. Frodo seeing no choice began to tell his tale. From his last days in the Shire to now.
“The
one ring that rules them all is here. You goblins shall follow me and help me
get it. I will get you the treasures of the universe!” Saruman said as he
leads his goblin army to where he felt the ring’s presence. Unaware to him,
Zartan had heard every word. Zartan silently went back to Cobra Commander to
tell him what he heard.
“
So that’s what he’s up to. You ten S.A.W. Vipers, follow me. By the
way, which way were they heading?”
“The parking lot.”
“Shredder you want in on this?”
“Of course. Bebop, Rocksteady, follow me.” With their little army
they left. Most of the other villains didn’t notice, because they were
watching the Oprah Winfrey show.
“So this is the great ring?” Greedo said as he takes the ring from
Frodo. For the first time he notices a dark cloaked figure standing near a
spaceship. “That’s one of those things you were talking about!”
“They found me,” Frodo said as he snatches the ring from Greedo and
runs off into the night into Gurther. “Get me out of here!”
“On it mister Frodo.”
“He doesn’t look so tough.” Greedo said. He shoots at the cloaked
figure. The shot miss wide and hit the ground behind the cloak figure. The
figure turns around and pulls back his hood. Greedo’s eyes went wide as the
figure takes out a small cylinder object. Igniting the lightsaber to life, a red
blade of pure energy erupts from each end of the cylinder object. The look in
the eyes of Darth Maul said it all; death was coming for Greedo.
“That’s not good.” Gurther said as Greedo comes running toward them
with two figures coming after him. “I ready, it’s your time now.” As Frodo
concentrates with all his might a grayish portal open and sucks them in. Before
the portal closes Greedo jumps into it (who would blame him?).
“How could you two idiots let him escape!” Saruman said as both his
and Cobra Commander’s armies march onto the scene. The Sith Lord and Storm
Shadow said nothing as they rush into battle. Like a hurricane they swept
anything in their path away. So ends another day at the ROV.
“We’re back,” Frodo said as he falls out of the portal.
“Frodo, Gurther you’re back!” Sam said as he and Gollum run up to
meet them. “Who are those four?” Sam points at people behind him. There
lying on the grass was Greedo, Megatron, Mojo Jojo, and Slagar. Slagar, a fox
with a purple-red diamond patterned mask on his face said:
“Where are we?”
“Middle Earth,” Sam replies. “How did you get here?”
“We were taking Megatron’s duck for a walk when all of a sudden we
were sucked into a portal,” Mojo Jojo said. He pauses for a second and
continues. “I’m not sure where he came from.” Everyone looks at Greedo.
“I’m here to protect you.” Greedo said. He was lying, but they
didn’t know that. Megatron recognizes the ring around Frodo’s neck from the
stories Saruman told. He calls over Slagar and Mojo Jojo. They have about a
minute long conversation. They turn around and announce:
“We will join you on your quest.”
“How’d you know we’re on a quest?” Sam asks.
“I have visions,” Slagar said.
“I’m sure they could be of help. I’m sure they’re good people,”
Frodo said. He turns and makes his way up a small hill.”
“He couldn’t be more wrong,” Megatron said to himself.
“What?”
“I said this day couldn’t be more calm,” Megatron said as he and the others follow him.
