RE: Banana Bread Galore

Jake: Uh, run?
John: Yeah.

They all start running back up the ascending tunnels, behind them the sound of screeching could be heard as the creatures were in pursuit of the group. As they got to the room that had the pedestal, Tom was looking backwards, as the sounds started getting louder. He wound up running straight into the pedestal.

Tom: Oof!

Tom toppled over along with the pedestal. The pedestal smashed into pieces as it hit the ground. Tom shook it off, and went to get up. As he went to get up, he noticed a discolored spot on the ground where the pedestal stood.

Tom: Over here!

Tom ran his hand over it, and felt a small handle. He grabbed it, and pulled it up. There was a ladder heading down a long black tunnel straight down.

John: Hey, your clumsiness paid off!
Tom: Shut up.
John: Well, shall we head down before we get KILLED?
Jake: Sure.

One by one, they all start descending down the stairs. Chris was the last one down. Just as he started going down, the creatures reached the room as saw him, screeching.

Chris: Oh, slag.

Chris pulled the hatch down as fast as he could and shouted to the others.

Chris: Get moving, fast!

They all grab onto the side railings of the ladder, and start sliding down to the bottom. The bottom was closer than they had thought.

Jake: I can't see anything down here!
Chris: Anyone have a flare?
Explorer: I do.

The explorer lights his flare and the small chamber illuminates. Its a bare room, with a large steel hatch on the other side. The banging of creatures is heard above them on the hatch. They run to the steel hatch across the room and it took Chris, John, and Jake to budge the thing open. Outside it seemed as though they were on the bottom of the floating island.

Megan: ..Wow.
John: Uh, yeah. No time to oggle the scenery.
Jango: Hey, look! An airship! This must be some sort of landing bay.

At the top of the tunnel a loud crash it sound, followed by the sound of steel crashing and banging as it started to fall down the tunnel, and finally hit the ground.

Chris: Uh, yeah. I think they got through.
Jake: We're not leaving without my baby!
John: Oh shut up. We'll get your ship.
Jake: Good.

RE: Banana Bread Galore

Jango eyes a sleek, silver airship and begins drooling.

Jango: Everybody follow me!

To their surprise (but not ours, since it's such a bad plot device), the hatch is sitting wide open. Presumably the owner figured nobody would find it.

Jango: I've had experience with flying one of these.
Jake: Before you met Jones?
Jango: No, I just got Flight Simulator 1671.

Everybody groans. Tom closes the hatch and Jango cranks her up.

Jango: Ooohhh... Listen to her... It's truly a thing of beauty...
Megan: Jango, SHUT UP and GET US OUT OF HERE!
Jango: Rightio, jerkface.
Megan: Loser.

He eases her forward. The creatures pour out of the room they had come from. Right before Jango punches it, one of them makes a giant leap and grabs onto the wing.

Jango: Anybody care to get that?
Tom: Gladly.

He opens the hatch and hangs out with his XM15, placing the red dot on the creature's forehead.

Tom: Say hi to Salazar for me!

It releases its grip as the .223 passes through its cranium. Soon, they return to the edge of the island, where the Sky Wolf and the explorers' ship is. Before they land, Megan takes a look through the thermal scope at the door to the strange building. Still there.

Megan: Alrighty, who wants to .50 it?
Jake: I do! I do!

He grabs his M82, opens the hatch, and lies prone. The gets the stock in a snug fit on his shoulder and looks through the scope.

Jake: Where is he?
Megan: Just take a shot at the doorway. You'll hit 'im.

He does.

Megan: Oh yeah! Good shot. It just... Umm... didn't die. Shoot again.

Jake does, but the creature has already moved.

Megan: Hey, care for a zeroing session... with a moving target?
John: Jango, move us away. There's no telling how far that thing can jump.

The airship moves away from the island. In a fit of rage, the creature jumps off, falling a mile to its doom.

Megan: Uhh... Okay. That makes things easier. Now let's hurry up and fix the Sky Wolf.
Jango: How? There's a hole straight through the engine.
Jake: We take the engine from the explorers' ship, stick it in the Sky Wolf, then they get this ship.
Jango: But... but... I want it...
Jake: Sorry, Jangy.
Jango: DON'T CALL ME JANGY.
Theresa: What happened to finding the guy that's controlling those things?

John holds up the green orb.

John: Does it matter?
Theresa: What about the crazy alien things? Or the giant monster?
John: Natives? I don't really care. We can take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Tom looks off and shakes his head.

Theresa: You can go into orbit?
John: It was a joke.

Theresa raises an eyebrow.

John: We're not going back down there.
Theresa: We have to!
John: ...We can go back to the airship dock. With any luck, all the freaks lemminged off and we'll find somebody there. Jango, Jake! You go down there and get the Sky Wolf up and running. We'll take this back down to the airship dock and look for anybody.
Jango: You can't fly it, can you?
John: You can, why can't I?

Jango shrugs, then realizes what John just said.

Jango: Hey!
John: Plot hole! Let's go!

RE: Banana Bread Galore

The ship pulls up over near the Sky Wolf and goes down to a low hover. Jake and Jango hop out, and the ship flies back off, heading twords the airship dock. Jake and Jango head inside the Sky Wolf, and grab boxes upon boxes of tools and parts, and start tearing apart the jet, and trying to fix the Sky Wolf. As the airship descends down to the lower airshop dock, they notice its completely desolate.

Megan: All right, let's head down.
John: Uh, yeah.

John looks around for the landing gear switch for a bit. Megan gives him the evil eye, and walks over, hitting a button clearly marked "LANDING GEAR". The landing gear lowers.

John: I saw that.
Megan: Shut up and land.

John lowers the ship down and lands. The bay door opens up, and John, Chris, and Tom head out.

Chris: Megan, stay and watch out for the explorers.
Megan: All right.

The three head over to the open hatch, and walk in. To their suprise, the room was now lit. It appears lights were hidden up in the rocky ceiling. As they look around, they notice a section of wall off to the left has been opened, almost as if it were a hidden passage.

Tom: Geeze, this place sure has a lot of little secret tunnels, doesn't it?
Chris: Yeah, sure...You first.
Tom: No?
Chris: I'll buy you some tuna.

Tom runs forward down the tunnel.

John: Huh?  ..That worked.

Tom promptly comes to a stop as he reaches the end of the dimly lit tunnel. At the end was another door, this one had a large latch across it. Tom set his gun down, and grabbed the latch with both hands, pulling it to the side. Just as John and Chris reached Tom, the latch slid open, and the door opened to a large, circular room. The three entered. The room was lit only by candlelight, and seemed as if it had no ceiling at all. In the center stood a creature in black robes, it looked to be a Linhi as he turned.

??: I've been awaiting you.

The door behind them slams shut, and seems to "vanish" off the wall. The Linhi grins.

RE: Banana Bread Galore

Linhi: My name is Kal'dur, which is only for reference when we do the

Seizure-inducing screen wipe. Enter battle.

Kal'dur - 9999 HP
Chris - 397 HP
John - 397 HP
Tom - 362 HP

LIMIT BREAK

Predator Jungle Mag Dump

Chris, John, and Tom drop their mags and insert C-mags. They dump them.

<<OVERKILL>>

Kal'dur is FUBARed.

End battle.

John: We ruined his slag.
Chris: Beyond that.
Tom: Hey, what's this?

He grabs a gem that came from somewhere on Kal'dur--we probably don't want to know where.

John: Sweet. What is it?
Tom: How would I know?

The complex begins to rumble.

Chris: How predictable.
John: I'll just take his sweet-butt staff.

He reaches for it. It shakes around, emits a high-pitched whine, and repels his hand.

Staff: YOU MUST BE LEVEL 20, YOU HECKER!
John: Bullheck.

He grabs it anyway, forcing his rupturing appendage through the repulsion field.

Chris: Come on, you slaggers! This place is collapsing around us!

They run. They enter the airship, which is already prepped to leave. Megan punches it when they get inside.

John: Do you know how to fly this thing?!
Megan: Do you?!

There's a long pause. Everybody looks out the windshield and screams at the top of their lungs.

They soon arrive at the edge of the island where the Sky Wolf is and land. They exit.

Jake: It's worki----ing!

His hair blows hard in the non-existant wind.

John: o_o
Chris: Good. Let's get the heck out of here.

John holds up the green orb.

John: Sword of Omens! Come to my hand!

The chikarta phase directly through the island and gather inside the orb.

John: Awesome.

He places it carefully (read: throws like a pro football player) into the footlocker in the Sky Wolf.

John: We now possess a weapon of great power. With great power comes great--
Tom: JEEZ, JOHN. STOP STEALING MATERIAL. LIKE NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF YOUR POSTS ARE STOLEN MATERIAL.
John: Beep you!
Megan: I guess we're finished here.

--Later.--

Theresa: Well, thank you all for accompanying us. I offered fifteen thousand, so... you'll be getting a check for that in a few days.

Chris nods.

Jennifer: We'll be giving...

She chokes up.

Jennifer: Clint a proper funeral sometime soon.

Chris nods again.

Chris: On a lighter note, it looked like the complex underground collapsed, and we now have the chikarta. This whole place should be safe now, other than possibly some generic monsters. We'll be on our way now. We're sorry about what happened to Clint. You all take care.

He shakes Theresa's and Jennifer's hands. They go their separate ways.
