Memoirs of a RAFian

[Underseen]

Storytime is over, but it was fun while it lasted. Maybe if he wanted her he could just not be a complete creep.

[Cloak]

I did warn you that you may not like him towards the end, Underseen.

Anyway, this book'll probably be completed tomorrow.

[Underseen]

Before this book ends I would like to say that this is probably the most dirty book you made. Just look at the number if you're not cat hing my drift.

[Cloak]

"XXX"? . . . Oh.  God, Kelly, you scared me for a minute there.

[redtailedsaffa]

Was that intentional or a crazy coincidence?

[Cloak]

*shrugs*

Eh, watit until we get to Book 666.

*blink*

Okay, that's a little too ambutious, considering we're only on Book 30.

Okay, guys, its the first chapter of the day.
 

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:
Phony Lord of RAF

Cloak extended his index fingers and middle fingers on both hands, after assuming the proper stance, and forced them both down his arms, across his stomach, up the opposite arms, and out again.

"What the deuce?" he cried as the MP3 monster barrel rolled to avoid the redirected blast.

When he gathered his bearings, he said, "You've learned some new tricks."

"Did you honestly things would remain static after three, four years?" Cloak asked rhetorically.

"It's been four years?" the Miser whispered to himself. But Cloak heard it anyway.

"Clearly your fashion sense remained static," he sneered.

"You really want to go there?" Parker snorted derisively. "I saw what your fashion sense was four years ago."

The Miser's face soured and he gave the dirtiest look that Cloak ever saw a human face muster.

"Kelly, you will come woth me and be my wife."

Kelly replied, "Why don't you leave me alone? And, well, why don't you leave RAF alone?"

"But you don't understand, m'dear." the Miser said, "RAF needs me."

"It's gonna be another song, isn't it?" Parker asked.

"Oh, yeah," Cloak replied, with his arms folded.

The Miser sang:

"Now, RAF needs improving.
It's just too impossibly odd.
Someone needs to get some changes moving,
And I'm just the man for the job.

Now, don't you ever wonder about RAF?
How everything's upside-down?
The creatures are so crazy in their RAF.
They don't know that it's turned around.
Everything's all askew.
But I could change a thing or two.
And . . .

Don't you ever wonder about RAF?
How everything is so confused?
Everything's disorganized in RAF.
There should be just a few strict rules.
Everything's turned around.
Someone needs to tone it down!
And . . .

Wouldn't it be wonderful if RAF
Were underneath a metal dome?
The traffic would be minimized in RAF
With everyone banned from this home.
Lands and creatures well in hand.
We'll make the colors much more bland.
With everything at my command.
When I'm the lord of RAF.
When I'm the lord of RAF."

There was a moment of silence after this song.

"Really?" Parker said, the sarcasm very evident in his voice.

"That made no sense," Kelly said. "It was just a random song."

"Clearly, prison has unhinged his sanity," Cloak observed.

"Screw you!" he snarled. "Screw all of you!"

"And now we're to the childish taunts. Let's just get this over with."

[Cloak]

Now, I may be able to stretch this to twenty chapters . . . may be a bit of a short chapter.
 

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:
The Army of Three

"You think you can defeat my unstoppable army?" the Miser snarled.
 
"'Unstoppable'?" Parker snorted back a laugh.
 
"You really give them too much credit, Creep-o." Kelly said.
 
"Any veteran RAFian worth their salt," Cloak said, "can make short work out of these . . . these guys."
 
Cloak was about to use the word "losers".  But that word -- or any real variation of it -- had bitter, negative memories attached.
 
"Do you really think that they've never staged a coup before?" Parker asked.
 
Miser said nothing -- which was as good as a flag or a banner announcing his ignorance of this fact.
 
"Kelly will be mine." he said obstinately.
 
"Kelly has a mind of her own, thank you very much!" Kelly snarled. "I will be the one to decide whom I date.  I will be the one to decide whom I marry. ME.  No one else!!"
 
"And it will be me!" the Miser said, disregarding the true defiance of Kelly's statement.  "Attack!!"
 
"I suppose I could use a little exercise." Parker smirked beneath his helmet -- although he didn't really need the armor.
 
Then the three RAFians dashed into the horde, knowing full well that they were really of no match -- not this particular batch of trolls.  The RAFians got lucky that the Miser didn't know about the tougher ones further in the Bannedlands.  They could be nasty -- and potentially problematic if the Miser was thorough enough.
 
"Oh, wait," Cloak said.  Then, in one swift movement, he punched the ground and a large spike of rock emerged skewering the MP3 monster directly in the middle.  It's lights lit up momentarily, then died.  It's earbud "eyes" drooped in a most pathetic way.
 
Cloak had intended to just immobilize the thing, but this worked too. He had no qualms about slaying that monster because it was essentially just a "Frankensteinized" version of its former self.  But he would spend some time later questioning his own actions.
 
Cloak looked up at the shocked Miser, and said, making his voice sound more ruthless than he actually felt inside, "Don't go anywhere now.  We'll deal with you shortly."

CHAPTER NINETEEN:
Kelly's FINAL Answer

The three easily did away with the trolls -- the weakest of Queen's troll regiments (conquered when she was Banned).  The Miser, during this time attempted to get away by climbing down.  Unfortunately, for him, it was slow and careful work.
 
And he wasn't fast enough.
 
Cloak stamped the ground and a spire of earth caught him by the back of his shirt, basically hanging him up with no means to get free.
 
"Uh uh uh." Cloak said, wagging his finger disapprovingly.
 
"Cloak, lower him to the ground." Kelly said, and there was an unusual hardness and edge to her voice.  She glowered at the Miser, as she addressed Parker, "Get AniDragon."
 
"Yes, ma'am." Cloak said, as Parker left, and obediently lowered Miser to the ground, per Kelly's request.  Kelly grasped the Miser by his shirt with both, and got right into his face.

"Listen to me, you creepy, old, sack of bones," Kelly snarled.  "You will leave me alone.  You will leave RAF alone.  You will even leave the Banned alone.  You will the city alone."

"You have no right --" he gasped.  Kelly shook him angrily.

"I have no right?!  I have no right?!" Kelly screamed her anger palpable and incandescent. "And you do?! I don't know what happened to you, but you clearly do not know the difference between right and wrong!"

"I'll decide what's right . . . ack! . . . Wrong!" the Miser said obstinately.

"No, you do not! How could I ever love such a man as you?" Kelly said, disgust and revulsion filling her voice and tone.  "You are a selfish, domineering, self-centered shell of a man!!"

These words seemed to hit him like no blow could.  It was here that AniDragon made her appearance, and bound the Miser's powers, making him powerless.

"Now, get out of my face, ya creep." Kelly said, dismissively to the Miser, who was rearrested some time later.

[Cloak]

Now, this one'll be a far jokier chapter. . . . Oh, did I get ya?
 

CHAPTER TWENTY:
End Credits

There was blackness, nothing but blackness.

"Well, this is odd." came Cloak's voice.

Then behind him appeared the words, "In Memory of --", Cloak's hooded head blocking the last part of the dedication.  His black cloak blended in perflect with the background.

"Huh?"

Then the words vanished as the words, "A CloakedFigure Project" appeared in a pyramidal like form.

"What?"

Then more words started appearing and vanishing.  Cloak could only catch "Neil Patrick Harris" across the the name "Music Miser".

"What is this?  Ending credits?"

The words appeared and disappeared without reply.

"This is crazy.  There's still over a hundred and twenty more books to do!" Cloak exclaimed.

Then the words vanished.

"Good.  I thought so."

Then they appeared again, only scrolling upward now.

"This isn't funny!" Cloak proclaimed, then, as he tripped on one of the words, shouted.  "Ah!"

It continued to scroll upward, undetered to Cloak's complaints.

"Hey!  This isn't funny!"

***

Cloak snapped his eyes opened, his breathing ragged.

"Still wasn't funny," he muttered.

[Cloak]

Now, a new book.
 

BOOK XXXI:
THE METAL-MAKER
CHAPTER ONE:
There's A Party in RAF

It was the pleasantest of days.  The perfect weather for a wedding -- or, more especially, a RAFwedding!  Faerie was bubbly, in exuberant Faerie dress.  Cloak was wearing his most formal cloak -- still black, while the clothing beneath the cloak was white.
 
Faerie, who had spent a great deal of energy in planning the RAFwedding, sang:

"There's a party here in RAF.
There's excitement in the air.
People pouring in from near and far
'Cause Ash and Broken are gonna have a RAFweddin'."

Then she appeared behind Gaz and Alic, singing:

"There's a party here in RAF,
Everybody will be there.
So if you're a pauper or a shah,
Do somethin' with your hair!"

Suddenly, it appeared that the two had stuck their fingers in an electrical outlet.  They yelled at Faerie, but didn't have time for vengeance.  They had to get ready for the RAFwedding.
 
Then Faerie appeared next to Horse and a lesser known newbie.

"You mustn't wear an outfit that's naughty!
A turban that's unraveling just won't do.
No earrings that are tasteless or gaudy.
You're gonna look gorgeous when I get through!"

"Faerie, stop!!" Horse said.  "I just got my fur the way that I like it!"
 
Calming down for a moment, she said, "Faerie, you're trying too hard. You're -- gone."
 
For Faerie had left Horse to check more on the wedding preparations.  She sang:

"There's a party here in RAF.
So, I'm going to paint the town.
If you want to see what colors are,
Follow me around!"

Then the RAFians assembled sang:

"Ash and Broken's gettin' RAFmarried, and it's gonna be
The wedding of the century."

Then Faerie sang:

"My buddies are gettin' married, and you're gonna see
Just how much I can do!
You've heard of your safari bar mitzvahs.
You've all been to a luau, a sweet sixteen.
Well, none of them compare to what this is!
The food'll be disgusting,
By evening you'll be busting!"

The girls of RAF, except Faerie, sang:

"There's a party here in RAF.
And it's got us all aglow!"

Faerie sang, popping up elsewhere rather like Timmy Turner:

"If a sorcerer could've come so far,
Maybe I could do it.
Sure, there's nothin' to it!"

Rotiart sang:

"There's a party here in RAF,
But we're not sure that we'll go.
For although the bride is lah-dee-dah,
The groom is awfully low."

Then Faerie throws him from the balcony, without any regrets of such an action.

Faerie, doing a news reporter impression, said, "And now we take you down to RAF HQ, where everyone has celebrated all night long. Without Queen and Malice -- everybody's happy! What could possibly go wrong?"

Rotiart, apparently having a change of heart, and an arm in a sling, sang:

"There's a party here in RAF,
And the loot is pourin' in!
I like this RAFwedding stuff so far --
Maybe if I'm pleasant,
I'll get to keep a present!"

Faerie consulted a clipboard, and was judging the bridesmaids:

"We've ordered just a few tasteful flowers.
The valets will carefully park for you.
The bridesmaids have been dressing for hours!
Girls, you look just lovely and so grown-up, too."

Then she examined the RAFwedding hall:

"There's a party here in RAF.
Guests are filling up the room.
But there's something missing . . .
Yes, ah ha!"

Richard spoke-sang:

"Where is the groom?"

***

Broken was pondering other matters when two RAFians came to collect him.  The he was speaking -- well, singing -- to Cloak and Phoenix:

"There's a party here in RAF,
And the party's all for me.
Just look, you guys, at where we are,
And how our dreams have come to be!"

On the opposite side of the forum, Dameg was consulting Jess and Terenia in much the same way Broken was with Cloak and Phoenix.

"There's a party here in RAF,
And I can't believe it's true
After all this waiting, here we are
We'll finally get so say 'I do!'"

Then they sang together, though apart.

"Someone who could just understand me . . ."

Cloak sang to Broken:

"Hey, c'mon, Broken, this stuff has gotta end!"

Phoenix sang to Broken:

"There's a party here in RAF
And it's starting right away!
Let's getcha dressed, 'cause you're the star!
Hey, c'mon, it's your RAFwedding day!"

RAFians, as a whole, sang:

"Broken's gettin' RAFmarried, and it's gonna be
The RAFwedding of the century!
Amazing how RAFcould've come so far . . ."

Faerie shouted, "They're finally gettin' RAFmarried!"

Richard proclaimed "They're finally gettin' RAFmarried!"

Rotiart wasn't interested, and, instead, said, "Look at all these presents!"

Ash said, "We're finally getting RAFmarried!"

Horse said, "They're finally gettin' RAFmarried!"

Broken said, "I'm finally gettin' RAFmarried!"

RAFians sang:

"They're finally gettin' married!
At the party in RAF!!
To the party in R . . . A . . . F!
There's a party in RAF!"

The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception went off without a hitch.  Pity that such a happy, festive occasion would soon be marred by something far more unpleasant.

[Cloak]

New chapter.

CHAPTER TWO:
Malice and the Fat Man

While RAF was celebrating this blissful union of two RAFians, Malice was in a different universe. At her feet was a rather large man with an improbable reddish mustache, bald head, and glass-like eyes.  He wore red and yellows with blacks from the generous waste down.

All around them were robot parts and shrapnel . . . SWATbots.

"I'm not going to ask you again, dear doctor." Malice said, as Abomination folded his arms, looking far more like her bodyguard and stooge than her suitor.

The man attempted to reach a button.  Then Malice broke his arm with her jaws.

"I can't tell if you are stubborn or just plain stupid, Robotnik," Malice snarled. "Give me the plans!"

The man glared at her hatefully, but did not reply or comply.

"Don't bother summoning more of your precious little toys of antique tech." Malice threatened. "I believe my love here has demonstrated what will happen if you do."

Robotnik said nothing but whimpered a little.

"Did I stutter?!"

The man hesitated for a moment, then reached into his breast pocket. Then he brought out a compact disc with the schematics on it.

"There's a good lad," Malice said, as she snapped up the disc. Then the two Realm Walkers Walked out of the realm.

It took them nearly two weeks to complete the device, while the RAFians were dealing with the Music Miser.

Watching from a spycube, Malice watched passively, only muttering, "Oh, that's too bad," before resuming her work.

The timing of Broken and Ash's RAFwedding was a serendipitous event, allowing her to complete her device. Allowing her complete the . . . the Roboticizer. . . .

Malice hasn't learned that she can't stop us yet. Why steal from eggman when everything he makes is terrible.

[redtailedsaffa]

Great chapters! Oh, and Cloaky, you need to update your siggy.

[Cloak]

Yeah, I just realized that.

And Underseen, it's not the Robotnik from the games, but the one from the comics/SatAM.

First chapter of the day.

CHAPTER THREE:
The Initiates

Malice, and Abomination to a lesser extent, finished the Roboticizer and it was completely operational . . . as she already used it fourteen times successfully.

The adult Opticoid now had a metallic hide with detachable electronic eyes which glowed red when activated. He retained the Opticoid ability to have the eyes merge together and back again.  He also bore metal-rending claws.

The adult Vulcan looked simply like a robotic Vulcan in black spandex. Her eyes glowed a sinister red.

The adult Pyronite looked like burning metal android. His eyes glowed a villainous red.

The adult Slitheen was massive and bulky with a heavy metallic hide -- essentially immunizing her from vinegar. Her now built-in holograph projectors made needing to take skins rather unnecessary. Her eyes glowed a malicious red.

The adult Kinecceleran, while hard to capture, was composed of the lightest metal alloy. His eyes glowed red.

There was an adult grail, an adult Galvan, an adult Klingon, an adult Vulpimancer, an adult Wookie, an adult Perk Gourmand, a teenaged human, and a teenaged Tetramand were all turned into robots, with red eyes, and all under Malice's absolute and abject control.

"Hon?" Abomination asked hesitantly, still choosing to believe in what was obviously not true.

"What?"

"I don't quite understand . . ." he said.

"Spit it out," Malice replied impatiently.

"Why are we doing this?" Abomination said, looking in Malice's general direction, unable to meet her eyes. "Wouldn't it be more . . . prudent . . . to take the RAFians directly?"

"I know what I'm doing," Malice said with a tone that said clearly that the matter was closed. "You just do your part in keeping Cloak busy."
