From: Stratus <do.not.annoy.me@yahoo.com> Subject: [PW!] Who? What? Where? Why? How? Bang! Date: Friday, April 16, 1999 12:21 PM As Stratus and the band plod towards Mt. Moon... "How are we supposed to get to the entrance?" Stinger said. They noticed that a cliff blocked their path. This one was taller than all the others- it was 10 feet tall. "Like this," Stratus said, and pulled out his gun. "Aside from this gun shooting bullets, I can also calibrate it to act like a taser, fire a grappling hook, or shoot a flare." He set the gun to "Grappling Hook" and fired upwards. The hook missed the top. "That didn't seem to work," Stratus said. "But, I have a better idea. You won't believe the recoil on this thing when I made it." Stratus started pulling out the gun clip. "The first time I tested it, I flew about 30 feet back." He pulled out a long, barrel-shaped thing, much like a silencer. He then replaced the gun clip. "Grab onto my belt. This is going to be a rough ride." The two band members grabbed onto Stratus' belt and Stratus fired a shot. The three of them flew up over a thousand feet into the air. When the recoil died down, they landed on a cliff almost all the way up Mount Moon. The gun started chirping like a cricket. Stratus replaced the silencer-like object and holstered his gun. As he put his gun away, Viper noticed a shadow coming out of the cave... "B-b-b-b-b-b..." Viper stuttered. "Speak," Stratus said. "Yaaah! What is that thing?" Viper screamed. "Whatever it is, I'll have to destroy it before it destroys us!" Stratus said. He ran towards the shadow, screaming in Chinese. A few punches landed. A few zaps of electricity were heard. But just as quickly as the fight started, it ended. Who was the adversary? Stinger walked into the shadows to see Stratus bowing toward an Alakazam, who had a few scars from all the blows landed. "Identify yourself," Stratus said. "I am Mindbender," the Alakazam said. "And I do accept your apologies for your haste in thinking I was a wild Pokémon." "What's an Alakazam like you doing in a place like this?" Stinger said. "I... cannot answer that question," Mindbender said. "Would you like to listen to one of our songs?" Viper asked. ------------------------------------------- That's it for now until M.W.F. gets that response to me, saying if Mindbender would or wouldn't like to listen to a song. Playing the song will just make more action scenes, while that scene will be cut out if Mindbender refuses.
