Nigel reached into another sub-section of his utility belt - POTIONS.
|
||
Invisiblity ... Super-Speed ... Healing ... Hung_like_a_blue_whale ...
|
||
until he finally found the one he wanted ... Diminishment potion. After
|
||
swiftly quaffing the potion Nigel felt ticklish and cold all over. His
|
||
whole body began shrinking, until eventually he could fit through the
|
||
key-holes of the lab. Once inside Nigel's size changed back automatically
|
||
(good eh ?). The lab seemed very small and unlit save for a short stumpy
|
||
candle flickering in one corner. There was a strong wiff of some kind of
|
||
chemical Nigel didn't recognise ( he only did 'O' level Chemistry ) but
|
||
the light was too bad to make anything out. After switching on the
|
||
flourescent lights Nigel was horrified at the sight which presented itself.
|
||
("Hi my name's Simon , Simon the Sight" - sorry). Inside a large iron
|
||
vat in the corner of the lab there floated the remains of mutated sheep.
|
||
To his horror, Nigel recognised one of the warped, twisted hooves as that
|
||
of Nancy's. As Nigel peered into the vat he heard a creak from the other
|
||
side of the room. Nigel spun around ... Fatlegsmason ...
|
||
|
||
"Hello nigel", uttered Fatlegs', this inoccuous phrase sounded like lost
|
||
souls being tortured with hot knives, "How are you keeping these days?"
|
||
Nigel cowered in fear in awe of the Grand Wizard Testicle of Chaos (so much
|
||
bigger than his own love plumbs). "Errrrr... all right I s'pose", hesistantly
|
||
replied our hero. "Bollocks!", shouted the Grand Wizard, sounding like
|
||
a multi-lane pile up on the M25 in foggy conditions, "I know very well
|
||
what a rough time you have been having and I have come to help you out. I
|
||
have seen your prowess at using you own Grand Testicles and, being the
|
||
GOD OF CHAOS AND A GOOD HARD SHAG I have decided to bless you with another
|
||
super-power.". "Oh ......", commented Nigel.
|
||
"Bestowed upon you will be the ancient power of COMEMUCHLATERANDWITHLOTSMORE-
|
||
SPUNK, this will enable you to get out of any tricky dead ends in the
|
||
plot by teleporting you somewhere more interesting, handy eh?". The Testicle
|
||
waved whatever a Testicle waves and dissappeared as if summoned by a
|
||
higher power. Nigel thought that this new found skill may come in use if some
|
||
dick-head screws the plot up again (davet) and set about examining the lab.....
|
||
.......
|
||
|
||
The lab was a pretty normal lab, for a lab run by the Grand Wizard Testicle of
|
||
Chaos ( Fatlegsmason ), and owned by the overlord. Those of you who have seen
|
||
such things before need no explainations, but for others, here it follows :
|
||
The room was about twenty metres square, although the dimensions seemed to
|
||
shift subtly. It was a place in which evil things could occur, with no worries
|
||
about appointments or lighting. Evil things could be half glimpsed in corners
|
||
and on tables ( eg. On one table was a lunchbox with Best Before : 20 BC on it,
|
||
and that just referred to the box ! ). It was indeed ... ( Time for Gary to
|
||
continue ) ...
|
||
|
||
Not only was there a dodgy chemical smell, but there was a distinct wiff
|
||
of MINCE (for the last two paragraphs). After thouroughly examining the
|
||
first room of the lab nigel went through the doorway into the adjacent
|
||
room. This room was larger, and better lit than the first ...
|
||
|
||
And the first thing he saw as he entered was a huge heap of MINCE!
|
||
But even stranger than this were the innumerable number of testicles
|
||
that were apparently feeding on this mince. Nigel used his little known
|
||
superpower of 'working out feasible explanations for ridiculous situations'
|
||
and cried aloud "Oh no, this must be the grand wizard's breeding ground.
|
||
Obviously his plan is to take over the Earth with the aid of thousands of
|
||
assistants who will innocuously attach themselves to the genitalia of
|
||
male humans and control their brains from below. What a dastardly plan! No
|
||
human would ever notice the difference." But then, in the distance, he
|
||
noticed some strange creations that appeared to be half testicle and
|
||
half sheep. He recoiled in horror as he realised the part Nancy had played
|
||
in the plot. Now Nigel was in such a fiery rage that he no longer had any
|
||
control over his actions, he was ready for a fight and no mistake.
|
||
|
||
Nancy had been used by not only by that not-as-good-looking-as-our-hero
|
||
'boyfriend' and Fatlegsmason. Nigel reached for the relevant u-belt
|
||
pocket in his rage - he had to get rid of this mutated Nancy, it would
|
||
be a bit painful if she attached herself to his super-sized gonads -
|
||
but stopped as someone came into the room.
|
||
|
||
Nigel recognised the oval shaped mass as Fatlegsmason, the friendly
|
||
gonad. This time Nigel wanted answers. No MINCING around.
|
||
"Hello Nigel, you're still here. It's very nice to see you" Fatlegs'
|
||
said cheerfully.
|
||
Nigel, no longer shaking, quickly asked, "Who do you work for Fatlegs' ?"
|
||
Fatlegsmason answered quite openly, "I serve The Overlord, his wish is
|
||
my command. I am a mere gonad wizard under his control."
|
||
"Who is The Overlord - and where can I find him ?" Nigel exaserpated.
|
||
"Oh he lives in the Castle F... ", then Fatlegs' disappeared as if
|
||
summonded by a higher power.
|
||
|
||
'Why, oh why are F words always censored ?', sighed Nigel, dejectedly. Still,
|
||
he, being a super-hero felt he had a right to know the place, it could be any-
|
||
where, even 'Castle Felkar in northern hungary' ( It wasn't, it was the Castle
|
||
Four miles to the East, known locally as the Castle of the Overlord ). Quite
|
||
why he thought this he didn't know, indeed when he looked it up in a book on
|
||
castles, he couldn't find it. However, a sheet of paper fell from between two
|
||
pages of the tome. It was old and weathered, it's title read 'Th s ga of ige
|
||
t e Hed ehog', Chapter 7. Most of the words were illegible, but he could just
|
||
make out the words 'The Castle Four Miles To The East, The Castle Of The
|
||
Overlord'. So now he knew.
|
||
|
||
Ah-ha! he conjectured, The Castle Four Miles To the East, The Castle Of
|
||
The Overlord, hmmmmm. Well sod that for now, I have the problem of the
|
||
hoard of rampant sheep-gonads about to help the Overlord take over the
|
||
world right in front of me. He reached into his utility belt and took
|
||
out his pair of size fifteen winkle-pickers and placed them on his feet.
|
||
He switched them on to "Kick the shit out of those Gonads" power and
|
||
set about doing a strange and wonderful dance in which a lot of gonads
|
||
were squasehed flat into little discs and later sold to McDonalds as
|
||
quaterpounders. That's a kick in the balls for the Overlord, thought
|
||
Nigel as he removed his faithfull winkle-pickers and left the lab of
|
||
Fatlegsmason, the Grand Wizard Testicle of Chaos. Being a bit fed up of
|
||
short paragraphs submitted by the more MINCEY of our contributors, Nigel
|
||
decided to set off east in this paragraph. Setting off east our hero
|
||
passed through changing terrain, first the lush greens and browns of early
|
||
autumn with the golden sunlight filtering through the copper leaves, the
|
||
surroundings slowly changed, getting greyer and dimmer as he walked through
|
||
the Forest Of Doom (as it was affectionately known by the locals). As
|
||
he approached the thousand foot high pillar of rock (with no visible access)
|
||
on which the Castle was perched, the scenery was grey and barren gravel with
|
||
a few rocks laying strewn around. In fact there was a strip of barren
|
||
land one hundred yards wide all around the mile thick pillar. Nigel
|
||
looked up into the sky and saw the pillar dwarf him and wondered how he
|
||
could ever scale it's sheer, black, smooth glass like finished,
|
||
lubricated with vaseline, perfectly cylindrical, thousand foot
|
||
high surface. "Oh SHIT!", he said and sat down on a particularly uncom4table
|
||
rock to ponder this problem.
