Hmm...I think I'll stay in space for awhile...

Great chapter.

LOL!

Great chapter Kuja. Loved the whole Lamp post incident. Though I'd never insinuate that Zaia was a wicked witch...Unless of course there was someone to take the fall for it so I wouldn't get killed.

Hmmmm.... the current trend in fanfics seems to be Zaia kicking ass.

Oh really now?...Hmmm. I don't know if I should be scared or excited...

My guess .... be afraid. Be VERY afraid!

(What movie was that from?

Indeed. I like it.

Although I think I was more kickass in DF's story--it's hard to be ultimately kickass when one has a hat shoved over one's face.

Part 26: No Nukes!

*HIT-MAN, DALTON, STRAVO, and a somewhat bandaged ZAIA all sit or stand around a sidewalk bench*

STRAVO: So now what to we do?

DALTON: There's not much we can do.

STRAVO: But...there's gotta be something!

ZAIA: There's nothing, all right?! We lost them, now they're free to do anything they want, got it?!

*silence*

LT: So...we're screwed.

ZAIA: Yes. Unless something goes wrong with their plans.

*CUT TO: a local gun store as KUJA and CYRAN are escorted out by a pair of beefy security guys*

KUJA: All I want it a 50-megaton nuclear weapon! Is that too much to ask for?

SECURITY 1: Sir, please calm down.

KUJA: You guys make a living selling offensive weaponry, don't you? Why don't you have any nukes in stock?

SECURITY 2: Sir, there's nothing we can do about it.

CYRAN: Cheapskates! Back home we can buy four for a quarter!

KUJA: Yeah!

SECURITY 1: Well then, why don't you toddle on home, kids. Good night.

*the SECURITY go back inside. KUJA and CYRAN begin to walk away, then KUJA suddenly stops*

CYRAN: What's up?

KUJA: Cyran, what did you learn in school?

CYRAN: Reading, writing, and arithmetic.

KUJA: They teach you anything about revenge?

CYRAN: No, I learned that on my own.

KUJA: Good.

*they spin. KUJA throws a fireball and CYRAN throws an ice blast. The store erupts into a hail of sparks and snowflakes*

SECURITY 1: OH GOD, WE'RE FREEZING TO DEATH AND BURNING ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME!

SECURITY 2: MY RIGHT SIDE IS BLACK AND MY LEFT IS BLUE!

KUJA: Of course, you realize that this brings a whole new meaning to the phrase no nukes.

CYRAN: Yeah, no nukes!

COUNTER GUY: AND WE HAD AN 80-MEGATONNER UNDER THE COUNTER THE WHOLE TIME!

*they freeze*

KUJA: HANG ON!

CYRAN: WE'RE COMING!

KUJA: DON'T DIE!

*they bravely rush into the store. Time passes. They emerge triumphantly carrying a large warhead*

KUJA: We did it!

CYRAN: We're gonna be heroes!

*they start rushing down the street when CYRAN stops*

CYRAN: Hey, weren't there some people in there, too?

*all the ammo in the store detonates at once*

KUJA: Not anymore.

CYRAN: Oh well. Can't be helped now.

*KUJA checks his watch*

KUJA: Let's go. We've gotta get everything set up before the crowd arrives.

*CUT TO: STRAVO and the others*

STRAVO: Well, if all our lives are going to end, I say we get one last drink.

LT: I'm with that.

ZAIA: Oh hell, why not. Then I can die drunk and surrounded by guys.

*they start to walk towards the nearest bar when a piece of paper is blown across the street into DALTON'S face. He grabs it and is about to throw it away when he stops and reads it*

DALTON: Guys! I've saved the day!

OTHERS: Huh?

DALTON: *reads* Come to the ultimate rave tonight on top of the Empire State Building. Beer, snacks, and music courtesy of Black Magic Ltd. The night will conclude with the greatest fireworks show ever seen in Washington DC.

LT: Washington? But we're in New York.

*a beat*

STRAVO: Oh shit.

ZAIA: Well, it's obviously too late to stop them, since it's already after sundown. Let's just grab a drink.

DALTON: But if we go to the rave and fail anyway, we can still get drunk and die in the middle of a party!

STRAVO: Yeah, it's win-win!

ZAIA: OK, let's go!

LT: Party time!

*fade out*

Normally, I wouldn't go to a party, even with fireworks... but nuclear weapons... hrmm...

Kuja and I know how to throw parties.

Loved the bit about the greatest fireworks show ever seen in Washington D.C. Kuja. Very nice.

1. Kuja: Very good chapter, but as I am all bandaged up, I really should save my strength and not talk too much. Go on, run with it; I set you up.

2. Singular Q: You realize that by constantly disappearing into the depths of anonymity, you make yourself well-known, right?

When I read that announcement I also took a beat to get it. Very nice. Nukes always lend an air of subtle humor to any story....right?

As subtle as roses and chocolates.

Stormbringer and Fanboy will save the day, or at least somehow aid in the utter failure of the day, I just know it!

Raves, Gnomes, Nukes, Zaia in a Cat Suit, this has NY times besteller written all over it

No. Not ever. You will be ninety-two and black mages will still be wreaking havoc upon NYC, Stravo will still be attempting to find a groove that fits, and Zaia will still have razor-sharp claws that she will whip out whenever she feels like it.

And a castrated friend named Aya. *sharpens*

I said you would be ninety-two; didn't say the characters would be too. So:
