This MiSTing is rated FANFIC-14 for mild cursing and because the original
story is so bad that it will scar your children for life if they read it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Season 7 opening sequence. Cut to the interior of the SoL, showing Mike
asleep. He is twisting and turning, since some sound is bothering him.
Finally, he gets up to investigate the source of the sound. It is coming
from the theater! Mike enters the theater to see it running, with Crow
sitting alone inside.]
MIKE: Crow, what are you doing in the theater this early on a saturday?
CROW: Hey, bots need no sleep!
MIKE: Yeah, but orgos do.
CROW: Anyway, the Mads fixed the theater so that it can show television
shows, too. Remember?
MIKE: Don't remind me. I'm still recovering from the reruns of "The
Incredible Hulk."
CROW: Yeah, but some of the stuff they show on saturday mornings is really
pretty good.
MIKE: Crow. You're watching *cartoons*?
CROW: Hey, Mike! They're fun! Haven't you ever wanted to recapture the
child inside?
MIKE: Sure, if you like being childish...
[A yellow light turns on inside the theater.]
MIKE: The hell... What could Wakko and Dot be wanting at this time of day?
[Deep 13, projected on the theater screen]
PEARL: Clayton! CLAYTON!
DR. F: [off screen] In a minute, mother!
PEARL: Clayton, if you plan to destroy the wills of your test subjects by
waking them up early in the morning, you shouldn't be watching "The
Little Mermaid - the series" when you call them!
DR. F: [off screen] It's soon over!
PEARL: [sighs] He can be such a child at times. If you want something done
properly...
[SoL]
[Lights, buzzers, general mayhem.]
TOM: NOOO! I'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!
[ 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ]
[Tom flies into the theater and is helped by Mike to get into his seat.]
TOM: What are you two doing in here already?
MIKE: I'll explain later.
> FoxFire Studios and Company (MechTail waves)
MIKE: Hopefully, MechTail is hit by a tsunami.
> Presents
>
> A Firestorm FanFict
CROW: Guaranteed to burn you out before the end of the first chapter!
>
> "The Rangers of NIMH"
TOM: If this is a Babylon 5 / The Secret of NIMH crossover, I'm going to be
violently ill.
MIKE: What if it's a Secret of NIMH / Mighty Morhpin' Power Rangers
crossover?
CROW: [retches]
TOM: Great. We're not even through the opening credits and Crow is puking
already.
>
> By Paul Lapansee
TOM: [retches]
MIKE: Wasn't his name "Lapensee" last time?
> and David Gonterman
TOM: It's two bad writers that go worse together!
>
> Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers by The Walt Disney Company
CROW: Oh, I like that show. Perhaps this won't be so bad after all.
MIKE: You liked the "Sonic the Hedgehog" cartoon, too.
CROW: Yeah.
MIKE: Then you read "MechTail."
CROW: Yeah.
MIKE: Then you destroyed your Genesis and burnt your Sonic plushie.
CROW: Yeah.
> Any attempts of lawsuit from The Walt Disney Company
> *will* result in the immediate roboticization of their
> entire cartoon population, starting with Mickey!!
TOM: We're not even past the copyright notices and these guys are already
in their own little world!
MIKE: Not a good sign at all.
> Jonathan Brisby and The Firestorm Imprint by David Gonterman
TOM: Please. One fanfic is plenty.
> The Secret of NIMH a Don Bluth Production which is based upon the book
> Mrs. Frisby (Brisby) and the rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien
CROW: Soundtrack available from Polygram Records.
> Clarice like Foxglove only appeared once in a Chip 'N' Dale original call
> Two Chips and a Miss (1951) man that is a long time ago...
TOM: So we're getting an obscure bit character who only appeared once
elevated to heroine status? Where have we seen *that* before?
>
>
> Watching the movie it helps you understand what is going on.
CROW: Reading this story will *not* lead to any such insights.
>
> Just a thought, why is Gadget so smart?
TOM: If he's so smart, why does he need to be rescued by his dog and his
daughter all the time?
>
> _______________________
CROW: Well, this is it. We're going to die.
MIKE: Look on the bright side, Crow. At least this one can't possibly be any
worse than "Mechtail."
>
> The Ranger's where flowing a leaded of break-ins.
[Awed silence, then:]
MIKE: Now *that's* a way to kick off a story!
TOM: [starts shuddering] Duh... No sense making... Must... find... sense...
CROW: Hold me, Mike. I'm scared.
> Some one was
> stealing medical equipment,
TOM: [recovering] Well, that rules out the twos and the rest of the
numbers.
MIKE: Hold your grammar flames, Tom. I have a feeling you'll be needing
them later.
> after seeing how the equipment was stolen
> it could only be...
MIKE: Green Goblin?
TOM: Megavolt?
CROW: Victor Eugene Tooms?
>
> "Nimnul" Chip said as he look at the shattered door.
MIKE: Oh.
CROW: That would have been my second guess.
>
> "Too right Chip.
TOM: [Dale] I hate it when you are right! You are always right!
> Only a nut like him would do this." Monty
> said.
>
> Gadget looked around. "I looks like he was only after some
> medical reports." They looked at the toppled over cabinets.
MIKE: Red hot cabinet-peepin' action!
>
> Dale picked up a piece of paper. "Hey guys, I think I found
> something."
TOM: [Dale] Look! It's the script!
CROW: [Chip] Ehhh, just throw it away.
>
> Gadget grabbed it. "Hmm It has something to do with lady dying
> of brain cancer and being cured after being bitten by a rat.
CROW: No, no, no! It was a young boy, and he was cured by receiving
postcards!
> Strange
> all the files stolen where of strange cases involving rats."
TOM: Excuse me, exactly how do they know what was in the *missing* files?
CROW: Perhaps Gadget is really Nimnul!
MIKE: Nah. That would be a plot twist, and I have a feeling we won't be
seeing any of those.
>
> "Rats how do rats fit into this." Chip scratched his head.
CROW: Not that well, but I guess you could use vaseline.
> "Nimnul's been stealing Medical Equipment all this time. Why would
> he steal old files?"
CROW: Because has run out of toilet paper?
>
> Dale looks sleepy. "Chip can we go home now there's nothing
> else to look at?"
MIKE: [Chip] I don't know. Why don't we look at the cabinets some more?
>
> Monty yawns. "Dale right lad we need some sleep. We can figure
> this out tomorrow."
TOM: Figure out the plot?
MIKE: Sorry. Can't be done.
>
> Chip looked frustrated. "All right, all right we'll look into
> it tomorrow."
CROW: Because we all know that there's no time like tomorrow to examine a
crime scene.
>
> They head back to ranger headquarters.
MIKE: Well, that was a thrilling bit of detective work.
> _______________________________
>
> Deep in underground in a city of Rats, there is a middle age rat
> sitting in a chair. Life was good for them easy access to the city
> resources.
TOM: They had to pay through the nose to get such a nice place in the sewers.
>
> The rat frowned a bit. He wanted so much for them to live
> without stealing. They tried once. But a flood nearly killed them
> out in forest, so they came to the city.
MIKE: Well, I can see how... huh?
CROW: So... Stop stealing, and get caught by a flood in the forest? That's
right up there with the Twinkie Defense!
> Yes as long as they stayed
> underground things where all right.
MIKE: Huh? Who's narrating here?
TOM: Even the authors don't know!
>
> But a few went up into the city to get food and some never came
> back.
CROW: Thank you, Mr. Exposition.
>
> A strange-looking mouse wearing a red amulet walked up to him.
MIKE: I heard somewhere that Ms. Brisby shares her first name with Mr. Spock.
TOM: Huh?
>
> "It's good to see you again, Jonathan," The rat said.
ALL: WHAT?
CROW: Great. More resurrections of dead characters. I'm still recovering from
when Meaghan brought back Scar from the dead.
>
> The mouse brushed aside his rather punk-style hair. "Justin, I
> heard you were looking for me."
MIKE: I know we never get to see him except as a very young mouse, but I
*still* have problems picturing Jonathan Brisby with punk-styled hair!
>
> He smiled. The rat sat up.
TOM: Did he stand down after that?
> "Yes I was. We have a problem."
CROW: [Justin] I thought the Conley sequels were bad enough, but this fanfic
is a CRISIS!
> _______________________________
>
> The next day the Rangers where siting around a table trying to

TOM: Disgusted by his defeat at the hands of Deep Blue, Kasparov challenges
two chipmunks, two mice, and a fly!
>
> "Well, we can either wait for Nimnul to strike next or find him
> before he does." Chip said.
MIKE: Yep, those seem to be the options.
>
> Gadget looked at Chip. "He would need a big place to hold all
> that equipment. Maybe if we check out some old factories he could be
> hiding out in one of them."
TOM: I wouldn't think so. How would he get power to his machines?
MIKE: He's a bad guy. They always manage to get electricity to condemned
buildings.
>
> There was a knock at the door.
CROW: A shot rang out! The woman screamed!
>
> "I get it." Dale said.
>
> He opened it.
MIKE: Dazzling narratorial technique here.
TOM: No kidding! This is the literary equivalent of Hal Warren directing.
CROW: You call this "literary"?
>
> "Can I help you?"
>
> There stood a rather handsome-looking mouse in a black vested
> jumper with white sleeves and red-and-white checkered collars, and
> wearing a sparkling red amulet. He quietly entered the room and
> smiled.
TOM: [Dale] He's dreamy!
CROW: Hey! How'd he get from strange-looking to handsome with just a scene
change?
> "Actually it is I who can help you."
MIKE: [Jonathan] With our new Orrick XL vacuum! Is the mouse of the house
at home?
> ____________________________________
>
> "Who are you?"
CROW: [deep voice] I'm Batman!
MIKE: Apparently it took Dale an entire chapter break to say something.
>
> "The name's Jonathan Brisby. I came from a rat village around
> town. It appears that both of us are on the same case, and I thought
> we could compare notes."
TOM: D flat.
MIKE: G sharp.
>
> "Oh. Sure, come on in."
[All boggle]
CROW: Sure! We believe you right off the bat! Come on in!
>
> "jonathan brisby, eh? the name sounds familiar," said the large
> Australian mouse at the back.
CROW: Oh my God, it's "The Rescuers Down Under"!
BOTS: NOOOOOOOOO!!!
MIKE: I think the author means Monty, guys.
>
> Chip looked at him. "You said that you are working on a case
> like ours, just how do you know, we never met before.
TOM: He peeked through a plot hole.
> Do you belong
> to a group like ours?"
CROW: No, he's Bluth, they're Disney.
>
> Jonathan looked at him. "I have a lot of friends who have told
> me things about your group. As for you other question, No. I
> usually work alone."
MIKE: Jonathan Brisby: Mouse Detective.
>
> "Then why ask us?"
TOM: Why ask why?
>
> "Well I a..
CROW: Ia! Ia Cthulhu!
MIKE: Hey, stop that!
> It's kind of.. I need help,
CROW: For my stuttering.
> this case has left me

>
> Chip shows the new guy around: "Well you have come to the right

TOM: I know Monty is thick, but surely he can remember *his own name*?
CROW: Tell that to Stephen "Ratlif" and Paul "Lapanse."
> that's Zipper, he's Dale and..."
>
> Jonathan wasn't listening at that point. He was locked in a
> gaze with the girl mouse.
TOM: [singing] Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I've found you...
>
> "h-hello, there," she said. "I'm Gadget. Gadget Hackwrench."
CROW: Shaken, not stirred.
>
> "Charmed," Jonathan held out his paw. Gadget blushed slightly
> and stretched out her paw to his.
CROW: Where it promptly came off in her hand!
TOM: That Jonathan and his fake paw gags! Heh!
>
> When she took it, his amulet that hung from his neck glowed--
TOM: Gadget took Jonathan's amulet?
CROW: I told you she was really Nimnul!
> slightly, but for all to notice. Jonathan looked self-consciously at
> the rock.
MIKE: Is he old enough to watch that kind of movie?
> "You've got to excuse me. I got this amulet from my great
> -grandfather from his adventures from NIMH.
TOM: This story is about Jonathan Brisby's *great grandson*?
CROW: Oooh. Now I *really* hate this fanfic!
> It gets this way when it
> senses someone with courage and . . . character . . . and stuff
MIKE: So... It's a mystic amulet that does... stuff.
TOM: Seems like it.
CROW: Uh huh.
> [turns to amulet]
MIKE: Whoa! Neat trick!
> Back to bed, you."
CROW: If you're lucky, the authors won't read you a bedtime story.
>
> It shut itself off.
TOM: Cool. A snooze button.
>
> "*NIMH!!*" Monty's brain finally clicked in.
TOM: Well, it only took two seasons.
> "You're great-
> grandfather, does he have the same name--"
TOM: [Monty] --as an evil research group performing unethical animal
experiments?
CROW: His parents must really have hated him.
>
> Gadget was struck by the word NIMH as well . . .
MIKE: [Gadget] Ow!
> something from
> her past . . . something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
CROW: Mice have fingers?
MIKE: In animation, four on each paw.
>
> "Yes, he does. You've heard of him, I see."
>
> "Do I ever?! JB, your great-grandpappy's an legend . . ."
MIKE: Starring Richard Dean Anderson.
>
> ------------------------
>
> The Rescue Ranger's sat around the table and listened to Monty
> telling them what he knew of the original Jonathan Brisby.
TOM: Wouldn't Jonathan Jr. know more about his ancestor than Monty?
MIKE: Try not to think. That makes it easier.
>
> "Oh come, Monty!
MIKE: [Facing Crow] No way.
> Are you saying that ordinary rats became super
> intelligent because of some experiment?"
MIKE: Maybe they should have tried that experiment on the authors.
TOM: Hey! Who's talking here?
>
> "That's what I heard mate's I wasn't there but.. [He looked at
> Gadget.] I have heard stories."
TOM: [Gadget] They're all lies! I never worked in Vegas!
>
> Gadget looked at Chip. "As strange as it may seem Chip. The
> reports stolen had to do with rats and knowing Nimnul anything is
> possible."
MIKE: Except the chance that we might see some decent writing.
>
> Jonathan repeated the name. "Nimnul...Nimnul now where have I
> heard that name before, just who is this guy?"
TOM: Oh, Just your everyday evil but easily defeated villain. Every series
has to have one.
>
> There was a knock at the door. Chip stood up. "I get the door
> guys."
CROW: Mike, what is deja vu?
MIKE: It's the feeling you've been somewhere or done something before.
TOM: At least it wasn't double spaced this time.
> Gadget explained there adventures with Nimnul while Chip
> answered the door.
MIKE: [Chip] Hey, pizza's here! Who ordered the acorn?
> "Dale come quick there's letter its for both of us."
TOM: One more sentence like that and my parser will explode!
> Chip
> sounded excited and Dale ran up. "Do you think it's it?" "Well
> there RAS logo on it." Chip said. They both read the letter.
CROW: The letter "A", not knowing the rest of the alphabet.
> The
> group watched as the two chipmunks jumped around like they won the
> lottery or something. "Yes!" Chip yelled
CROW: [Chip] We may already have won a million dollars! Woohoo!
>
> "Crikey mates, what's the letter say? Don't leave us in the
> dark."
TOM: Attributions, anyone?
MIKE: Magic Voice gets a lot of lines in this fanfic.
MAGIC VOICE: Leave me out of this!
>
> "It's a letter from the Rescue Aid Society. They have two
> openings in this area
MIKE: I don't want to know about openings in the area, thank you very much.
> and guess who they wanted to fill the
> positions?" Chip said with a smirk.
CROW: Mulder and Scully?
MIKE: Murtaugh and Riggs?
TOM: Somerset and Mills?
>
> "You two?" Gadget said.
ALL: Oh.
>
> "Yeper's Gadget." Dale said.
MIKE: I don't want to know about Yeper's gadget, thank you very much.
>
> There was silence. Jonathan watched as their face's dropped.
> Gadget sniffed back her tears. Jonathan gave her a gentle tap on the
> sholder and a look of sympathy. Zipper landed on Monty's.
CROW: On Monty's WHAT?
>
> "I'm happy for you guys." Gadget said. Chip's face also shared
> in the sadness.
TOM: Are they happy or sad? I'm confused!
MIKE: Join the authors.
>
> "Well I.. the letter says we have a week to decided so maybe we
> can solve this case before then." They nodded.
CROW: ...off to sleep, bored almost to death by the story.
TOM: SLEEEEP!
>
> "Sorry to brake the mood guys
MIKE: Oh, I don't think it can get much slower.
> but I think I know where Nimnul is
> going to strike next," Jonathan said looking at a map.
TOM: SO WHY DID HE NEED HELP FROM THE RESCUE RANGERS?
MIKE: Tom, remember what I said about thinking?
>
> "Where?" Jonathan pointed to a building. "There is more then
> one branch in this country
MIKE: No wonder, with all the forests.
> and all the places that where hit have
> contracts with The National Institute of Mental Health."
>
> "N-I-M-H" Gadget said.
>
> "Got it in one, Gadget.
CROW: I could tell that this story was going to be crappy in one sentence!

TOM: By whom? Big Brother?

> "Oh yes just a few minor adjustments and..[The factory's lights

MIKE: Oh, so he just convinced the electrons to take the scenic route.
> He he

CROW: [Nimnul] Now to download some nude pictures of Jasmine! Heh heh
heh...
>
> "Now let me see who next?" He taps in some commands and a map

CROW: I hate to bring this up, but is this supposed to be a script or a
story?
MIKE: Yes.
> "Oh yes. Now if I remember correctly the building has a type 5
> alarm system. This calls for plain E..
TOM: ...from outer space!
CROW: Right now I would be happier watching an Ed Wood movie.
> he he he E as in Earthquake

MIKE: You know, it really is funny when you think about it. Heh.
TOM: Oh, shut up, Nelson!

CROW: Installing a Hindenburg barbecue set.

> Jonathan looks at the plane in amazement. "Gadget, who built

>
> "I did." She said from under the plane.
>
> "You did?"
CROW: I did.
TOM: You did?
CROW: I did?
TOM: You did?
CROW: I did.
MIKE: Okay, that's enough of that.
>
> "Actually I built it according to one of my fathers blue prints.
MIKE: [Gadget] He dipped his paws in ink and walked over a piece of
paper.
> He use to designed planes in his spare time." She slid out from

>
> Jonathan grabbed her paw and helped her to her feet. "Your
> father must have been very smart. I would like to meet him one day."
>
> "Gadget's father is dead, mate." Monty said as he walked up.
TOM: Oooh... awkward!
>
> "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
>
> "It's ok. This is my family now." Her ears dropped as she
> remember about Chip and Dale.
CROW: Mike, I'm confused. Is this story written in the past or present
tense?
MIKE: Yes.
>
> Chip walked out side. "You guys ready?"
TOM: [Gadget] Watch where you step, I just dropped my ears!
>
> They nodded and hoped into the plane. Jonathan sat beside
> Gadget to much of Chip's regret.
MIKE: Yes, but how did the REST of Chip feel?
> The plane lifted off the ground and

TOM: [singing] Zipp-a-dee-doo-daa, Zip-a-dee-yay...
>
> "Wow-whee, Gadget," Jonathan said as they flew off. "This is
> some plane. There are some rats I know that would just like to meet
> you!"
CROW: In a dark alley. Alone.
>
> "That reminds me, mate: What happened to the Rats after they
> broke out of NIMH?"
TOM: So, Monty knows everything about Jonathan Brisby the First, but not
what happened to the rats?
MIKE: It's just a fanfic. You should really just relax.
>
> "It's a long story, Monty. After a while outside of captivity,
> they believed that they have become smart enough to live
> independently of human's . . . er, can we say, 'benefits?'"
ALL: "Benefits!"
MIKE: [Mr. Rogers] That's good! I knew you could. Now, can you say
"Deoxyribonucleinic acid"?
>
> "HA!! That's a nice way of telling us that they don't wanna
> *steal* anymore!"
MIKE: The rats are welfare queens! Sheesh!
CROW: Yeah, just wait'll Rush hears about this!
>
> Jonathan held up a finger.
TOM: Can he *do* that in a cartoon?
> "I quote our first leader, the Late
> Nicodemus:
CROW: [Nicodemus] That damn alarm clock! Always making me late!
> 'We can't live as rats anymore. We *know* too much.' So

MIKE: They watched all eight Star Trek movies on end.

TOM: Copyright Sid Meier.

> "Thorn Valley. I heard that place got dammed up four years

>
> "Yeah. That almost flooded us.
TOM: And exactly when did the Brisbys move to Thorn Valley with the rats?
CROW and MIKE: Fanboy! Faaanboy!
> We had to move the entire city

CROW: [Jonathan] Cause the neighbors were complaining about the loud music
and stuff.
>
> "Jonathan," Gadget asked, "We've read about a brain cancer

TOM: Well, THAT treatment will have a tough time getting approval from the
FDA!
>
> "Mmmm. Brain Cancer, you say?" Jonathan scratches his chin
> "It could be.
CROW: [Jonathan] That might be why I have this splitting headache all the
time.

TOM: Of course, no stupidity means no politicians, so the project had to be
canceled.

CROW: Homicidal brain matter?

TOM: As opposed to somebody else's thoughts?

CROW: Poor guy must have been a CS student.

TOM: Read the book!

MIKE: That way lies madness.

TOM: [bursts out crying] Mike, I just can't take any more! Make it stop!
MIKE: I think we need a break...
[They leave the theater.]
[Interior, SoL]
TOM: Urgh. This is shaping up to be a really bad one.
CROW: Tell me about it.
MIKE: Come on, guys. Show a little optimism! Sure, the grammar, spelling and
plot are the worst we've encountered yet, but that only means that it
can't get much worse. Besides, Crow, I thought you *liked*... Hey, has
the mads light been on all this time?
[Mike presses the light.]
[Deep 13]
DR. F: Ah, there you are, my little lab rats! You certainly took some time
to answer my call. Well, that doesn't matter, since the experiment
I'm about to inflict on you today is perhaps the most diabolically
evil I've sent you yet. But first... A small invention that is
certain to give me control of the world!
[SoL]
MIKE: Hold on... I thought we stopped doing the invention exchange.
[Deep 13]
DR. F: Yes, I know, but since nothing you could produce could ever match
the ingenuity of my invention, it would be hopeless for you to even
try.
[SoL]
MIKE: Well, actually, I *did* come up with something. We don't get much to
eat here on the satellite, but we seem to manage anyway.
TOM: We don't give that much thought.
MIKE: So, to be able to make some food, I came up with the Crow-O-Matic
2000!
[Mike shows Crow to Cambot. Crow's claws have been relaced with a knife on
one arm and a grater on the other.]
MIKE: Yes! The Crow-o-Matic 2000 chops, slices, dices, shreds, grates,
blends, and much more!
TOM: The Crow-o-Matic 2000 just wants to be your friend!
MIKE: And the Crow-o-Matic 2000 is completely safe to the environment!
TOM: Too bad it's the environment of Venus.
CROW: Hey!
MIKE: Here's a demonstration of just one of the things you can do with your
Crow-o-Matic 2000!
[Mike turns Crow upside down and places his head in a bowl of liquid.]
MIKE: Yes, the Crow-o-Matic 2000 is the most powerful mixer you've ever
used!
[Mike presses a button on Crow and his head starts spinning. As Crow's
head gains momentum, the liquid starts splattering all over Mike and Tom.]
MIKE: Of course, there are still a few bugs left to work out. Did I mention
that the Crow-o-Matic 2000 comes with a built in waffle maker?
CROW: [back to normal] Waffles? Mmmmmmm...
MIKE: Sirs?
[Deep 13]
DR. F: That was well below average for you, just as usual. My invention, on
the other hand, will reduce the brains of everyone in the world to
mush!
[SoL]
MIKE: [sarcastically] Where have we heard that before?
[Deep 13]
DR. F: In the world of music, there are two groups that seem to annoy just
about everyone. One: A certain group of teens with a certain song
that just won't leave your head, because the radio won't stop
playing it. Two: A certain group of goth rockers that have gone all
out to be offensive. My genius is to combine those two into an
amalgamation that will make everyone who hears them a drooling fool!
[SoL]
MIKE: You don't mean...
[Deep 13]
DR. F: Yes! Prepare yourself for ... MARILYN HANSON!
[A curtain raises behind Dr. Forrester to reveal a stage. Four 12- to 14
year olds in black leather clothing and makeup resembling Brandon Lee's
in "The Crow" are standing on it, playing staccato guitar chords and heavy
drum rythms. The singer tries to use a really deep voice, which isn't
quite successful since his voice hasn't gone into breaking. The lyrics are
hard to make out, but seem go something like "mmmm-a-bop... mmmm-a-bop."]
[SoL. Everyone is standing with their mouth open.]
MIKE: Oh... My... Goodness.
CROW: That *hurt*.
TOM: That was *evil*.
MIKE: But we can all agree that is was not quite as bad as the fanfic.
BOTS: Yeah.
[Deep 13]
DR. F: [annoyed] Then, you won't mind if I send you the rest of the fanfic.
Bite down hard, Nelson.
[Sol. Lights, sirens, total pandemonium.]
ALL: NOOOOOOOOO! WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!

MIKE: Free from impure thoughts...

MIKE: [getting up] What's Crow up to *now*?
[Mike enters the section of the satellite where Crow is. It is filled from
wall to wall with... waffles.]
MIKE: CROW!
CROW: Oh, hi, Mike! This waffle iron you fitted me with was really great!
I can make as many waffles as I want!
MIKE: Crow... This has to got to go out the airlock.
CROW: WHAT?
MIKE: Pretty soon *we* won't have any space left for us if you keep this
up!
CROW: No! No! Not my precious waffles!
MIKE: Get serious, Crow.
CROW: Look, is Herr Mike Hitler of the Food Gestapo going to tell me what
food I can or cannot make? This is a free coutry! We can choose to
make steaks, pies, or any sort of food. I refuse to be discriminated
because I chose waffles!
MIKE: Because I give you free space on the satellite doesn't mean... Aww,
to heck with it.
[Mike shakes his head and leaves]
MIKE: The fanfic must have gotten to him.
[What did you expect? Fanfic sign actvivates, the ususal hilarity ensues.]

waffles almost everywhere.]

TOM: [much calmer] Really?

MIKE: Great, now Madame Medusa and Sloops are calling.

PEARL: It seems my son has a little announcement to make. Why don't you tell
them what you have in mind, Clayton?

DR. F: Ouch! I'm, I'm sorry for... OW! I want to apolo... apogo...
PEARL: [pulls harder on Dr. Forrester's ear] Spit it out, Clayton!
DR. F: YOW! I'm really, really sorry for the fanfic that I sent you. It
was -- OW! -- much too evil for me to handle and I should never have
sent it to you.
PEARL: There, now was that so hard? Now, go to bed and you'll get no
supper!
DR. F: [quietly] Yes, mom.
[SoL. Tom has returned to normal.]
TOM: [hopefully] Does that mean we don't have to read the rest of it?
[Deep 13]
PEARL: You've got to be joking. Just because it's too evil for my son
doesn't mean it's nearly evil enough for me! [She presses a button.]
[SoL. Lights are flashing, buzzers are buzzing.]
ALL: NOOOOOOOOOO! WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!
TOM: I have a feeling I'll grow up to really hate this woman.

CROW: Whatever. Just *end it*!

MIKE: More like a speeding ticket. May we please see your license and
registration?

TOM: Missing rats? There were missing rats?
CROW: We interrupt the story for the latest plot development...

TOM: Weren't Gadget and Jonathan badly injured just some chapters ago?
MIKE: The authors just don't care, and I don't either.

CROW: Whoa! Something almost happened there! Let's slow the story down

CROW: The machine which runs on bongs.

TOM: Unfortunately for whom? I'd be *glad* to see this end.

ALL: Naturally!

CROW: Shouldn't Jonathan be burnt out by now from using the amulet?
MIKE: You're assuming this fanfic has something vaguely resembling

CROW: Sorry. My mistake.

TOM: Then, I think you should have quit during the first chapter.

CROW: Why would Jonathan do such a thing?
MIKE: I think "he" refers to Nimnul.

TOM: I would just like to point out that the grammar here beats most
previously known records for awfulness. Thank you.

> "Oh gosh . . . I'm sorry, Mr. Zanatos . . . sir . . ."
CROW: [Nimnul] I didn't know Gargoyle armors had windshields!

MIKE: You know, in some warped sense, this is a fitting finale to the rest

CROW: [Zanathos] Mostly because he doesn't *have* a tail.

> The battered professor nodes. "Is this a promotion Sir?"
MIKE: [Zanathos] Let's see... You're a thief, you're performed nothing

does CEO of Disney sound to you?

MIKE: Yes! Let's turn the world's animals into braindead Beavis and

MIKE: Awww! The romance scene! Isn't it cute?
CROW: You're right. It isn't cute.

CROW: [Falsetto] Flip!!

TOM: Well, at least we were warned about this one, unlike the rest of this
chamber of horrors.

MIKE: [sarcastically] I just love this fanfic's wacky madcap slapstick
sense of humor...
CROW: Yeah, Lapensee and Gonterman have a future writing gags for the next
Cris Farley movie.

TOM: [Chip] I've replaced her with a newer friend gadget.

TOM: No! Just get the hell out!

ALL: [Minnewegan] Yaaaaa!

MIKE: They had to, since the seagull forgot to flap its wings.

TOM: What magic? The whole ending was so LSD-laced that I have no idea what
was going on, but I'm pretty sure that the amulet had nothing to do
with it!
CROW: Maybe he means Jonathan's lame amateur sleight-of-hand tricks?
TOM: What good are THOSE? "Halt, evildoer! Pick a card, any card!"

MIKE: [Ages] You'll get my bill in the mail. Hope you have... insurance.
Muahahahah!

MIKE: In the geriatric ward.

CROW: Shoo! Away with you pesky rescue rangers!

MIKE: I just felt as if a 10 ton weight was lifted from my shoulders.

MIKE: And dropped back on me again from a skyscraper.
CROW: This guy has a *web page*?

> "You can unlock any door if you only have the key"
> --inscription at the back of JB's Amulet
CROW: And just *how* does this relate to what happened in the fanfic?
MIKE: The same way "The Secret of NIMH" and "Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers"
relate to this fanfic.
>
> David Gonterman
> Paul Lapanse
TOM: Wasn't his name "Lapansee" last time?
MIKE: All this and you still care about spelling?

>

MIKE: And that about sums up what was good about this fanfic.
[They leave the theater.]
MIKE: Whew. I'm experiencing a sense of relief I haven't felt before in
my life.
TOM: Me too. I thank the Heavens that this one is over -- and I mean that
from the bottom of my CPU!
CROW: Yeah. The authors took something good and decent and turned it into
something too twisted and perverted even for me!
TOM: I never thought I'd say this, but this one was worse than "Manos"!
MIKE: Crow, I notice the waffles are gone. What did you do?
CROW: Oh, I just fed them to Gypsy. It's amazing how much that woman can
eat.
MIKE: Gypsy? Uh-oh.
[The Mads light flashes and Mike taps it.]
[Deep 13. Pearl and Dr. Forrester are wading in a waist-deep sea of
waffles.]
PEARL: You hurry and clean this mess up, Clayton, or I'll ground you
for a year!
DR. F: [Weakly] Yes, Mom.
PEARL: I'm going shopping. When I'm back, this place had better shine!
[Pearl exits.]
[Dr. Forrester turn towards the camera and looks at Mike and the Bots.]
DR. F: I'll get you for this.
[SoL]
TOM: Oh yeah? What are you going to do, send us "The Rangers of NIHM 2"?
[Deep 13]
[A grin forms on the lips of Dr. Forrester. He starts snickering, and
before long the snickering turns into an insane, echoing laugh.]
[SoL]
TOM: Oops.
[Deep 13]
[Still cackling like the Crypt Keeper, Dr. Forrester presses the button.]
