After The Fallout - Chapter 19 now up 4/10/07

[The Mule]

Sarah Dalton was out collecting herbs on a bright sunny day in what used to be New Jersey. So many exotic plants had sprung up in this area that she was able to find plenty of ingrediants for her potions and notions. Some she was able to sell, but mostly they left her alone, fearing her to be a witch.



Well Mr. Fantastico wasn't afraid of her, and today he had joined her on her forray.



Sarah laughed as Mr. Fantastico let out a stream of mews. "What are we trying to say, Mr. Fantastico? What makes you so biosterous today?" she asked the cat, as if he was going to answer.



Almost as though he knew what she was saying, Mr. Fantastico let loose another batch of mews, sounding even more excitted thought Sarah.



Silly Mr. Fantastico, thought Sarah. How I wish I could understand him!



Then Mr. Fantastico bolted off through the bushes. I better go see what he's up to, thought Sarah. She followed him through the undergrowth. For her it was easy to see where he'd been. Snapped twig here...smooshed grass there...tracking animals was like second nature to her. After about 10 minutes of trekking through the forrest, she found Mr. Fantastico at the mouth of a cave. Mewing his head off, too!!

"I hope you don't think I'm going IN there Mr. Fantastico!" said Sarah. Then a thought popped into her head. A cave might have some herbs she wasn't already aware of. Better check it out....



But she found something else entirely....



She stood entranced looking at the device. It felt like something was pressing down on her mind. She couldn't think. Yet she couldn't move either. There was something sinister about the device, she knew it, but was not afraid of it. Quite the opposite. She felt the desire to posses it.



She quickly returned to her cottage and consulted her big book. Mr. Fantastico watched in knowing comprehension as the book began it's magic, taking over Sarah's mind so that it could pass it's information on to her.



Sarah screamed in terror as her mind was invaded. It always started this way, but the end result was worth a few minutes of agony.



Slowly the book implanted the inner workings of the device into her brain.



When the book was done, it left her limp and drained....



Mr. Fantastico lept from his perch on the counter. "Now Sarah. You been instructed on the device's function. You must use it to create an army. An army of Undead. And destroy those small-minded humans who treat you as a pariah, who taunt you as you go amongst them. Listen well, Sarah. You have a place in this battle. And the battle begins NOW"

[IcemanTO]

[The Mule]

As Zargon and the others battle the mutants, Queen Arachnia watches...

 Oh those troublesome humans found a prisoner!


Great! They know how to pick locks, too...


Any second now...don't turn around....


Oh, the dumb one HAD to warn him to look behing him...


It's ok....we still have them...


I can't beleive he made that shot...


I can't watch...


No this isn't happening...


These mutants are too slow!! Why do they just STAND there?


My eyes!! There must be something wrong with them.


Oh why do they just keep falling over dead???


Oh come ON!! One little lightning bolt!! Wimps!!

Sentinal #....oh it doesn't matter!: M'lady, the mutants have been defeated, the humans are coming this way...


Queen Arachnia: I KNOW that moron! Why do you think I have a crystal ball?


Sentinal: Sorry your Supreme Barbarity...I thought it best to warn you...


Sentinal: These humans are proving to be more resourceful than you expected Your Monstrocity...


Sentinal: They'll be here any moment...what are we to do??


Queen Arachnia: Well, they'll kill you obviously you poor excuse of a genetic experiment...now prepare your collegues to defend me at all cost...

[The Mule]

Aboveground, Lothar and his men moved into place to lay seige to the mutant stronghold. The mutants were forced to use all their resources in an attempt to repel Lothar's attack. Belowground, this left just the sentinals to protect Queen Arachnia from Zargon and company.



Zargon and crew followed the mutants tunnels to Queen Arachnia's lair and stormed the room...



Zargon: Let's do it, monkey-bat freak!



Zargon, Dead-eye, and Two-Lou each engaged a sentinal while Darlyn and the dog held back...



Queen Arachnia: Oh hurry with the obligitory fight scene...Sentinals! Kick their butts!!



Hmm....not too shabby, thinks Zargon...



Sentinal: Do I really have to fight a girl?? How embarrassing!



Two-Lou: It'll be even more embarrassing when I shove those wings up your....



Queen Arachnia: Oh save the descriptive narration girlie...besides, he enjoys having his wings shoved up his...



Other Sentinal: I gotta see this!



Meanwhile Darlyn concentrates on her staff...



...while Two-Lou pummels the sentinal.



A painful shot to the chest sends the sentinal reeling backwards.



Queen Arachnia: Score one for the leather chick! She should be on my side!



Zargon takes command of the situtation with the sentinal he's facing.



Deadeye: Our friends on the surface are defeating your minions...give it up lady!



Deadeye: These pathetic creatures will not protect you...



Darlyn begins chanting...



Two-Lou lands a hard right to the sentinal's head...



Queen Arachnia: I like this girl...to bad I'm going to have to kill her...



Another right to the body...



This is begining to not look well, thinks Queen Arachnia...



In fact it's getting down-right ugly...



Queen Arachnia: Idea!!



Darlyn: Zargon!! Something's wrong! My staff ain't functionin worth spit!!



Queen Arachnia begins her own incantation...



A stone gargoyle on the wall shoots a jet of flame...



Queen Arachnia: Gosh-golly-gee! A fire! Look at that! Fire bugs you guys, doesn't it?



Queen Arachnia: YES!!



Queen Arachnia: Am I awesome or what?



Queen Arachnia: Who's the top dog now??



Queen Arachnia: Happy dance, happy dance!!




Queen Arachnia: I am number one!



Queen Arachnia: Oh, how rude of me...bu-bye!!



And with that Queen Arachnia disapears, leaving our hero's in the burning ruins...
