Saddened, Swordmaster clops his way to the slow motion zone. "Ttttttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssss iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssss ss fffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Zoma hands Supreme Chancellor and Vice President Jadarendir the Calvinball, and starts wadding up some spit.

"SAAMbritons eh?!? Come a little bit closer, I want to get a good look at you."

As he starts chopping along in slow motion, Zoma hocks a loogie into the insides of the coconuts.

"Yuck! Horse nuts!"

"As Supreme Chancellor and officer in charge at present, I hereby declare that the Calvinball should be claimed for G.R.O.S.S. and to let all who join our cause share in our victory. A vote shall be held now! Both the Supreme Chancellor and the VP vote for. What say the rest of the membership? First mate and field scout Zoma?"

Second Post Govenor and temporary Janitor TD climbed up into the Treehouse.
"Aye laddies!" he announciated.

"Aye!" Jada cried. "But let us savour these moments in the real world, for soon we shall be going back to the otherworld (OOC: by the way, I have a very good idea for the next thread and request permission to start it!) after 3 more pages. Any ideas as to what to do?"

OOC: Well, I did have my own idea but I'll let you do it. My idea would work best with another thread to lead up to it anyway.

"Then as STUPENDOUS MAN!!, I declare that anyone with no mask must stand on their heads and SPIN wherever they wish to go! Whoever has TWO masks (ie: myself) is awarded bottle caps of valour!"

A mysterious shadow crept from the bushes and mounted the tree house. He confronted Stupendous Man. "I am The Intrepid Spaceman Spiff©, interplanetary explorer extraordanaire! This tree house violates county zoning statute 103.65A and, therefore, must be destroyed."

He raised his blaster at the tree house. "G.R.O.S.S. is toast."

"Ah, but behold! According to the rules, this is only a toy blaster!!"

And so it was. Spaceman Spiff looked at his gun and realized that it was, quite frankly, fake.

TD hastily ran to the garbage to scrounge up a cardboard box. He pulled out a felt marker and lazily wrote on it "Time Machine". He pulled Jada in and they warped back to the Jurrasic.
Jada pointed out to TD that he wasn't wearing a mask.
"Crap!"
TD suddenly inverted and started to spin, changing the wheel's direction s well.
"Crap.." was all that Jada could say....

Spiff also retrieved a cardboard box and scribbled "transmographier" on the front side. He stepped inside and transformed into whatever he was thinking of at the moment...

Argent creates a new rule: Anyone who isn't me must lay on the ground, face first.

TD and Jada, however, were in a time millenia BEFORE any of the rules that were made! TD stopped spinning on his head, falling with a satisfying clunk.

"Well, shall we go back, or wreak havoc here?" Jada asked.

"He he!" TD laughed.
He put on a mask (finally) and put on a extra around his arm, just in case.
TD pulled out a wicket staff and a football, disguised as a tennis ball, and readied himself for when Zoma would first appear.
"Ready!" he yelled.

"Now... let's go BACK... to the PRESENT!!!!"

Ehh, that doesn't quite have the same zing.

TD and Jada used the time machine to go back to the front yard, just before this thread started.

"Hey guys!" TD shouted. We're going back to the otherworld now! Wanna come?"

"But we were just about to play Calvinball!" Zoma said. "I wanna know who wins!"

"Everyone in G.R.O.S.S. won. That includes you and I," Jada said. "Now come on, I'll open the hole in the fabric of space."

Jada stuck his hand upwards and tore a hole out of the air. On the other side of the hole was a swirling portal, and at the end of the portal was the other Calvinball field. To see the difference between the two was indeed a shock. Just looking at the otherworld, the players felt their powers coming back. One by one, they all piled into the portal and disappeared. Jada went last, landing before SAAM and Dragonsbane.

"'Ello, gents," Jada said.

"Hey man," SAAM said. Let's get back to the field. Everyone else is already waiting."

As SAAM and DB turned and walked away, Jada glanced into the distance. Something was amiss. The sky to the east had turned red with black clouds. Thunder rumbled in the distance, almost rendering Jada unaware of the figure behind him.

A cloaked man crept up behind Jada and spoke some words, and as Jada turned, a blinding flash got SAAM and DB's attention.

Jada stood motionless...
