Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 61)

The scene: The DFO clubhouse, where the Moosemas party is in full swing. The music is loud, the Moosemas Brew is flowing freely, and the DFOers are partying hard.

DTZM (at the bar): Hey, this is great! I’m glad everyone is getting a chance to unwind.

WCS (also at the bar): Almost everyone. Where’s Old School Zero?

DTZM: Ah, he’s still finishing up a little project for Zymm…

Cut to: Outside the clubhouse, in Doktor Zymm’s yuuuge RV. Old School Zero, hammer and chisel in hand, is being held back by Abraham Lincoln.

OSZ (raving): Let me go, Abe! This is personal now!

Abraham Lincoln: Settle down, son. We can figure out how to take apart that there time-doohickey after the party.

Cut to: The party again.

WCS: Huh. Well where are Balls and CB? I don’t see them around here, either.

DTZM: Aaah… Zymm had them go down to Mexico on a little club business…

Cut to: Somewhere in Mexico. Ballsofsteelandfury is driving the Moosemobile down a dirt road at night. Covalent Blonde is riding shotgun, and Low Commander, Marc Trestmans Windowless Van and Otto’s Brain are in the back seat.

Ballsofsteelandfury: It is dark out here! Do you guys see any signs of life?

Covalent Blonde: Yeah…I see some lights up ahead.

Low Commander: I see them too! Finally! Civilization! Or at least what passes for it in this century.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van: Uncool, dude. Like, we don’t make fun of your stupid future seals and killer squirrels, man.

Otto’s Brain: Are we there yet?

Ballsofsteelandfury: Shut up, Otto. Yeah, I see them, too…looks like it’s maybe a bar…?

Covalent Blonde (reading the sign as they get closer): Open dusk till dawn…cool! Sounds like our kind of place!

Cut to: The DFO Moosemas party again.

WCS: Y’know…do you ever get the feeling that Zymm is really running the club, and she’s only letting us pretend to be in charge because it keeps us out of her hair?

DTZM: What? No! That’s just… Hmm. Nah. I mean…

WCS: Where is Zymm, anyway?

DTZM: No idea. I peeked into the lab earlier and she and Moose were gone. Either she got him running again, or she carted his body off to the dump.

WCS: So, has anyone told Moose that his future ex-wife is here? It seems like something he should maybe know.

DTZM (shrugging): Not me. I like to stay out of people’s personal lives. I figure it’ll come up eventually. In the meantime, I have Brocky keeping an eye on them.

Cut to: Brocky, tied securely to a chair.

Brocky: Welp, I think I may have screwed up here.

Cut to: Doktor Zymm’s laboratory. All is silent. Then one of the doors in Doktor Zymm’s workbench opens slowly.

PK (crawling out of the workbench): Gee whiz, that reminds me of when my mom used to lock me in a cupboard…

Future Clone Debbie Harry (pushing PK out of the way as she comes out behind him): Oaf! I really need to find a better class of lackey.

PK: Aw, you don’t really mean that. What are we looking for in here anyway?

Future Clone Debbie Harry: My T.I.T. That idiotic gorilla broke it when I was here last, but I know Zymm. She has it stashed in here somewhere.

PK: Your ti…

Future Clone Debbie Harry (interrupting): No, you idiot. My Totally Instant Transmogrifier. If Zymm hasn’t dismantled it, I may be able to repair it and…

PK (holding up a Bunsen burner): Is this it?

Future Clone Debbie Harry (glaring): No, you cretin. It looks like…

PK (holding up a triple beam balance): Is this it?

Future Clone Debbie Harry (still glaring): No. As I was saying, it looks like a…

PK (holding up the Totally Instant Transmogrifier): Is this it?

Future Clone Debbie Harry: No. Wait…Yes, that is it. Very good, lackey. With this in hand, I shall finally have my rightful vengeance. Bwahahahaha!

PK: Heh. Heh heh. Hee hee.

Future Clone Debbie Harry (exasperated): And just what are you doing?

PK: I thought we were sharing a moment.

Future Clone Debbie Harry: We were not. I was exalting in my forthcoming destruction of the DFO. You were cackling like a tuberculous hen.

PK: Aww…

Future Clone Debbie Harry: Look, since you found my T.I.T., just this once I will let you join me in triumphant laughter. Ready now? Bwahahahaha!

PK tries a deep laugh, but it turns into a snort. And then a cough. And then a coughing fit.

Future Clone Debbie Harry (slapping PK on the back): Don’t die on me. You’re one of the few useful resources I have in this misbegotten century.

PK (red-faced from coughing): Aww…that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me!

To be continued…

Unsurprised

Because the unIverse isn’t just cold and uncaring, but actively cruel and malicious.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I liked it.

Except for the PK part which is a boner shrinker…. literally and figuratively.

But we can fix that.

Unsurprised

Time for Die Hard at the Clubhouse!

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Plot twist: PK is the anti hero that saves the DFO in the end.

Yeah, but it’d totally be an accident… Like the time he praised Cam Newton or was conceived.

Unsurprised

Yes, but go fuck yourself.

Doktor Zymm

Hooray for acronyms!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m always down to support any H.F.A. sentiment.

Horatio Cornblower

Apparently I couldn’t pass the height requirement to get into the party. That’s OK, I’ll just go the the amusement park and ride the roller coaster.

That dusk till dawn bar sounds like a lot of fun. Vampires are scared of me because the garlic content in my blood is off the charts.

If Salma Hayek shows up, I call dibs!

WCS

True to real life, I’m always the dickbag bringing everyone’s high down by asking realistic questions, and PK continues to just murderdeathkill every possible enjoyable thing the DFO Crew is involved with.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I would also enjoy a gruesome, painful and lingering PK death.
