However, someone might be about to ruin Duke's day and deny him his 'terminate with extreme prejudice' wish... "The Power of The Dark Side will rip the Grail Diary's location from your mind, MiskatonicNick, and leave you a gibbering, drooling, brainless fool!" "heheheheh... so no change there then!" "Yeah, thanks, Mary-Kate... as if you haven't got worries of your own right now..." "Slaughter the Olsen Twins, my Robot friends - for they have spoken foully of The Phantom Menace, the greatest film ever made..." "Yeah, right..." "... tear them limb from limb! Rip them to pieces! Mash 'em into the ground! grind their bloodied remains into the dust! Squash..." "Ok ok, you little runt, we get the idea... ok Miskatonic, what's the plan?" "Plan? You mean other than scream like a girl and die horribly? (and that's just me!)... no, wait... hang on a moment...

... Don't worry girls! I've still got my gun!   "Hurry! The robots are getting closer!"

oh bugger... but I've only got one bullet left." "And a single bullet will not save you from the Dark Lord of the Sith!"

"Don't worry, Twins... I've got an idea...

... hey, brat... this is for The Phantom Menace!"

"I regret nothing!"

"eewwww gross... you just killed the little kid!"* "Yeah... but when he died so did the robots he controlled. What a lame plot device!" ** * Hmmmm... Ashley seems to have forgotten that they fed Hermione to Shelob a few pages back ** That, however, I can't argue with.

"Very gallant and noble, MiskatonicNick, saving the Olsen twins... though I hardly think that is an epitaph to be proud of!" "Ah, but Darth... in killing the little Annakin Skywalker I did more than just stop the robots..." "eh?"

"... think about it Lord Vader... or should I say Mr Skywalker... Annakin Skywalker that was. Or now, that NEVER was!"

"What? NOOOOO!

You stinkin' bagheaded bast...

"Whoa! MiskatonicNick just defeated Darth Vader..." "And he saved us from being turned to mincemeat by a bunch of ugly robots..." "... and the world is one annoyingly cute child actor less thanks to him..." "... he's a hero..." "ohmigod, Mary-Kate... I'm scared!" "so am I Ashley... so am I..." Bloody hell... as if the prospect of a threesome with the Olsens wasn't enough, now MiskatonicNick is being hailed as a hero (how long 'til he's on the next James Bond shortlist?)!?! Has the world gone mad? Well, obviously if some people are still reading this, yes. But at this rate he won't need saving... which is just a long-winded excuse to segue to the Obitsu sisters as they continue to mount their rescue mission...

"Oh dear, where has Pinky gotten to now? I've got our tandem bicycle all ready for our adventure, I've packed our picnic..." PARP! PARP! "Oh my word... Pinky?"

"Hold on... that garish shade of orange... that's Action Man's Team Truck isn't it?" "erm... yes..." "How did you get it?" "Oh, it's alright - I know good ol' AM; he lent it to me for this mission." "Lent? Are you sure, Pinky?"

"Yo! Sandy - hop on board!" "Aw, c'mon Sandy - don't you trust me? Look, it's the perfect vehicle to rescue MiskatonicNick so jump onboard and let's finally get going!"

And, very predictably, just at that moment Action Man is escaping a certain death situation...

"Eh? Where's my damned truck... What the...? Hey, who the hell is Pinky?"

"Hey, bub, you're the one who spilt my beer... you're goin' a pay for that!" *SNIKT* *SNIKT* "eep!"
