"The last thing we want it Bill's World..." TD mutters. Charging into Darth Bill's room, he takes him by suprise. Bill presses a button and several ebay windows pop-up before TD. Infuriated, TD rushes and pulls out his firebrand sword, hacking the windows to pieces. Bill's subordinates run away in fear. "Time to end this reign of terror!" TD yells. He luanches at Bill but a mysterious field blocks his path. "Ha,ha,ha..." Bill laughs. "Oh ???....." TD widens his eyes.

Suddenly, CSAAD leaps aboard into the fray.

"What the?! how did I get here?"

he blames the booze for his confusion and then slaps an anti-trust conviction against Darth Bill.

In the court, nothing happens due to Bill being late and paying off the judge to throw him the win. 2.5 million dollars richer (like that does anything) they resume there postion back in the chamber. TD asks CSAAD what they should do about the MSN Force Field around Bill.

Jarlax steps into the room. "Maybe a mirror could redirect the force field?" Hands TD and CSAAD mirrors, then convieniently(sp?) leaves again.

"Simple... we'll have to outwitt him!"

CSAAD turns to Darth Bill

"I offer a challange: a battle of wits!

If I win, you die and everything you worked to achieve will come crashing down.
If you win, I die, and control of the world, and the multiverse will go to you... forever."

Darth Bill lowers the shield and the hologram disappears. a neaby door opens, revealing Bill in his true form.

"I accept." he exclaims, his greed once again overcomming him.

"Very well." CSAAD responds, and lays out a table with two goblets filled with wine and a small vial. CSAAD opens the vial and holds it out to Darth Bill.

"Smell this."

"I smell nothing."

"That is because it is Iocane powder, smell-less, tasteless, and one of the more deadly poisons known to man."

CSAAD turns around and fiddles with the Goblets and the Iocane where Bill can't see.
he turns back and places one goblet in front of Bill and one in front of himself.

"One of these goblets of wine are poisoned. the game begins and ends when you choose, and drink."

Bill ponders for a moment and then replies.

"Very well, I've made my decision... I pick- Hey look an eagle!"

CSAAD turns around to look, while Bill switches the goblets. CSAAD looks back.

"I see nothing."

"It must have passed. anyway, let's drink, you from your glass and I from mine."

the two pick up their respective glasses and drink. Bill bursts out in laughter.

"you fool! I switched the glasses and you drank the poison! never get in a battle of wits with a nerd when death is on the line! Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha, Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha-"

Then abruptly, Bill's speech stops, and he falls forward. Dead.

"The Iocane was in your glass?" asked TD.

"No. I put it in both glasses. I have spent most of my adult life building up an imunity to Iocane. our friend here didn't."

and with that, the Calvinball returned to it's rightful place, the world returned to normal. and all the races prepared for Calvinball XII.

The End.

TD and CSAAD whip the mirrors at Bill and give him mild concusions but he is still awake. "Fools! Mirrors will never defeat the power of MSN!" Bill yells, kneeling dead like. TD rushes at Bill only to be deflected once more. "Stupid Bill and his MSN. Need something stronger...."

read previous post.

Also, Jarlax: would you do the honours and start a new Calvinball?

OOC:Missed it while making my own.And Jarlax should start the new one.

Well Jarlax just left... I thought it would be nice to let him have a go at it.

oh well...

In light of his absence, would you please do the honors TD?

OOC: Nice ending. One problem, but it's rather minor. The Bill that you guys saw was a hologram. You can't kill him through the hologram. But other than that it was genius.
