    Halls Jordan and Cliche Dude #3
    Part Nine of the Electrocutioner's Song
    ---------------------------------------
    "Mr. Minister Builds His Dream Plot" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
    "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", screams the Plot King. "You fiend. You took control over the third writer for this story, and screwed up the original plotline."
    "This was the plan all along. Table is a fool. Only by controlling a writer would I be able to finally defeat you. NO MORE PLOT!!! NO MORE ORDER!!! JUST..."
    Fearing that this was the moment he would buy it, failing his legion
    of readers from years past, no one was more surprised than the Plot King to
    see a small gray animal attack Manga Man from behind. Surprised by this attack, Manga Man desperately tries to free himself from the claws of this vicious little animal.
    "No, don't touch tha....."
    Coach, missing member of the Z-Team, rips off, along with Manga Man's
    left hand, his Posting Encroachment bracelet, which allows him to invade Alt.Comics.Lnh, every month or so from Rec.Arts.Manga. Manga Man fades away
    in front of Plot King's eyes, while Coach licks his paws.
    "I know who you are," says Plot King, walking over to pet Coach. "I
    know that your team is not villianous, as the rest of the LNH thinks it is.
    I watched all of the episodes of your TV show, so I know better."
    "MEOW."
    "I know that. Now, I must call on the being who gave me my powers
    to put this story back on track."
    Plot King stands in front of the LNH HeadQuarters in a trance for
    several minutes, as Rebel Yell's group returns with Table, Chair, Plot-
    Error Man, and an army of Marvel_Zombie Lads, with Sig.Lad laying un- conscious, at his side.

    *******************************************************************************

    Back at COMA, the people trapped here are taking a rest, after
    finishing 'A Chorus Line.'
    "I'm so happy. Now, what shall we do now?" the Electrocutioner asks
    one of the elderly people.
    Meanwhile, the Ultimate Ninja is ready to finish off Z, the man who humiliated him in front of his fellow Legionaries. "Z, time to pay the piper!"
    Standing there with no fear in his eyes, Z allows the Ultimate Ninja
    to attack him. With a fist full of Ninja Bush, he plows at Z. Unfortunately, he goes thru Z, without causing any damage, and falls onto the ground,
    feeling more of a fool than he did before.
    "What Happened???????"
    "It is so simple. I had figured out that we are here only in a
    mental form, rather than in a physical form. Those are not really weapons
    you use either, rather, just an extension of your personality."
    "Oh yeah???"
    Before Z could respond to such an intelligent comeback from the
    Ultimate Ninja, a huge figure suddenly appears over the Electrocutioner.
    "I have come to fix the story, so it can end it three issues."
    "Dance. Sing and Dance for the Electrocutioner."
    With a wave of his hand the Electrocutioner is blown 50 feet away,
    falling thru Marvel_Zombie Lad.
    "Who are you?" asks the Electrocutioner.
    "I am Plot Retainer. I have come to fix this mess that some say is
    a story, I call it embarassing."
    With the wave of his other hand, with the exception of the Electro- cutioner, the Ultimate Ninja, Z, Marvel_Zombie Lad, and the now discovered X-Over Men, whose disguises have vanished, the rest of the people vanish
    from view.
    "What are you going to do with us?" asks Marvel_Zombie Lad.
    "You will stay here for the rest of your unnatural lives."

    ******************************************************************************

    Meanwhile, in orbit over Alt.Comics.Lnh, Mr. Minister walks over to
    his computer, Squiggy.
    "Squiggy, are you tapped into the LNH computer?"
    "Yes. I have hidden myself in a sub-routine that controls the sewage disposal unit."
    "Good. Now that I have taken revenge on Table, I will now deal with
    family matters. Where are the Marvel_Zombie Lad clones?"
    "They are at LNH HeadQuarters."
    "Excellent. Have them go into the next phase of my plan, while I get ready for a family reunion."

    ******************************************************************************

    Back at LNH HeadQuarters, a bright flash appears as Contraption Man
    was checking up on the Ultimate Ninja in the LNHospital. Appearing before the rest of the LNH and the Marvel_Zombie Lads was Sig.File Man's search team for SideKick Man.
    "Where the hell did you come from?" asks Rebel Yell, knowing this
    is an ACROPHOBE cross-over.
    "We were all dancing 'A Chorus Line' after the Big.City Mall blew
    up and...Don't you remember? You, and the rest of the LNH, were there, too.", said Kid Anarky.
    "Excuse me? You are kidding, right??", asks RosterwReam.
    "I wish we were. Listening to Reb sing was a nightmare. Then, all of
    a sudden, this really big guy sent us back here," replied Sig.File Man.
    "But we weren't there. We've been busy capturing Table and the
    Z-Team. Besides, my singing isn't that horrible," Rebel Yell said, while trying to ignore Lurking Girl's giggles in the background.
    "Don't ask us. This has been a strange cross-over, and we didn't find SideKick Man," said Sig.File Man in a sad tone.
    "We did, but he is evil now," exclaims RosterwReam.
    "What????? That's impossible. He was with the Tantalizing Teens
    for years. We have worked together on many cases. I find this hard to believe."
    "Believe it! He tried to blow up LNH Headquarters. I'm sorry to
    say, however, that, he's currently missing with SideWinder."
    "Why are all of these Marvel_Zombie Lad clones whispering to each
    other?" points out Cliche Dude.
    In unison, the Marvel_Zombie Lads say, "So we can provide this issue's fight scene." As one, the army of Marvel_Zombie Lads throw themselves upon
    the LNH.

    *****************************************************************************

    "Do it."
    "I set the Camera Illusion Device, so that the LNH think we're still
    in our cell," says Vince.
    "I unlocked the door," says Trump, brandishing a hairpin.
    "Let's go people."
    The Z-Team, with no problem, release themselves from the LNH High
    Security Prison, deep within the bowels of the LNHQ.
    "I can't believe they caught us like that. I wonder how they did it?" asks Trump.
    "They must have confused us, since we were all acting out of character. Most likely, it was bad writing. Don't worry, though, we always bounce back, like a superball," says Vince.
    "You mean out of control and dangerous?" asks Mr. World.
    "You bet."
    "Wait a second. Is that a trash can over there?" asks Tunes.
    "You know, that would make a great commerical. Is that a trash can
    over there? Why, yes it is. Not only does it hold trash but...."
    "We don't need your ranting and raving right now World, so keep a
    lid on it," says Vince angrily.
    "A lid on the trashcan???"
    Vince just sighs as Tunes starts mulling thru the garbage.

    ******************************************************************************

    "I refuse to believe you will do this to us. Anyways, no one ever
    is captured forever. Hell, even PP's parents have return from..." says Marvel_Zombie Lad, while being interrupted by the Ultimate Ninja.
    "This is not the time or place to mention the OTHER company."
    "You mean B.C.?"
    "Forget it."
    Moving in front of the group held in COMA, Z bellows out a statement.
    "WHY?"
    "Don't you mean Z?" snickers the Plot Retainer. "Actually, I am
    going to allow you all a chance at leaving this place, but under *my* rules. Understand? Good. You will all play a game, and the winner can leave
    this place, while the others remain. We will play...let's see, hmmmm,
    I know......JEOPARDY."
    The face of the Plot Retainer changes to the familiar mug of
    Alex Trebek. "Welcome to Jeopardy." Sound effect claps are heard in the background, as the Jeopardy set is created about them. "Today we have
    on our show one of the co-leaders of the LNH, Mr. Ultimate Ninja. To
    his right, we have the leader of the Z-Team, and member of the Intelli- gencia...."
    "Hey!! I don't know what your talking about!" shouts Z.
    As soon as he screams this, he is electrocuted from a device in
    the Plot Retainer's hand. Checking his wrist, the Electrocutioner
    exclaims, "That's mine. Give that back or I'll...." The Electrocutioner
    is also shocked.
    The Plot Retainer continues, "Z. Our next contestant is trying to
    get the CrossOver Queen out of Rec.Org.Sca, here is Multipl-X. And
    finally, on our special edition of Jeopardy, we have an old enemy of the
    LNH hiding under a disguise that has fooled everyone, here is...."
    A drum roll is heard, as the mask of the Electrocutioner falls apart
    and slumps in heaps on the floor.
    "Dyslexia!!!"
    "Of course. That's why the Z-Team was written wrong in part 7.
    I figure that they've reached a garbage pail by now. They should be
    all right."
    "Ultimate Ninja, choose the first category."
    "I'll take 'LNH members' for $100, uh, Alex?"
    "The most popular member of the LNH."
    With his amazing reflexes, the Ultimate Ninja rings in first.
    "Who is the Ultimate Ninja, of course.?"
    "You are incorrect," says the PR, as an electric shock goes thru
    the body of the Ultimate Ninja.
    Z is the next to ring in, "Who is Marvel_Zombie Lad?" pointing
    MZL out to his left.
    "Correct. You have a hundred dollars. Choose a category."
    "I'll take 'Obscure Capitals' for $300 dollars."
    "Yo-Yo Capital of the World."
    Again, the Ultimate Ninja is able to beat everyone to the buzzer,
    "What is Net.ropolis?"
    "Incorrect."
    Immediately, the Ultimate Ninja receives another electric shock,
    which is starting to burn his outfit.
    Multipl-X beeps in, "Is that Luke, Wisconsin, er, I mean..." and
    before he could finish his sentence, he also receives an electric shock.
    Z now beeps in, "Could it be Luck, Wisconsin?"
    "Correct. You now have $400. Please select."

    ******************************************************************************

    As 3 of the MZL clones start to grab Parking Karma Kid and toss him
    into one of the LNH washing machines, California Kid uses his surf board and beats one over the head and into the machine. Quickly, Parking Karma Kid
    puts some detergent in, closes the lid, and turns the machine on to Whites.
    He turns around and sees the other 2 MZL take the surf board and break it on California Kid's head. Instantly, PK Kid pulls one of the clones into the dryer, and turns it onto Permanent Press. Unfortunately, PK Kid does not see the other MZL try to use the broken surf board like the "silver surfer" and
    try to fly into him. The collision sends them reeling into the wall, knocking both out.
    Fighting back to back, Rebel Yell and Doctor Stomper each use one
    of RY's Confederate Flags, trying to tie up some of the attacking MZLs. They hear a cry from Fuzzy, "Comics-Snob Boy is down, and now a MZL is trying to
    use him as a kleenex." RY tries to scan the room, bogged down with MZL
    clones and LNH heroes. Seeing Nit-Pick Lad defeating a clone by pointing
    out the slight color difference with the original, RY cries, "NP Lad, can
    you help out C-S Boy? He might be used to wipe one of the MZL's noses."
    As the Plot King (carrying the body of Sig.Lad) and Coach walk into
    the battle, they see Occultism Kid change some offending MZL's into members
    of the Jackson 5.
    "A.B.C. It's easy as 1,2,3."
    "Good thing you came when you did, my furry friend, or else I would
    have missed the BIG fight scene," exclaims the Plot King gently placing down the unconscious form of Sig.Lad. "Let's go and kick some clone butt!!!"
    "MEOW!!!"

    ******************************************************************************

    "Who is Spiro Agnew!?" shouts the Ultimate Ninja as he hits the
    buzzer first.
    "Incorrect." says the PR, as the UN receives another shock to his
    system. Members of the X-Over Men giggle at seeing the UN unable to
    answer any question correctly. "I will repeat the question in the
    category, 'Vice_Presidental Nominee Quotes,' "I can't hear you because I
    forgot to turn up my hearing aid.""
    Dyslexia buzzes in, "Who is Admiral Stockdale?"
    "Correct."
    Surprising everyone, including the Plot Retainer, black smoke
    creeps up from nowhere, and heads directly for MZL.
    "Finally. I've been waiting to be resurrected just like that 'Warlock' guy, and I'll be getting my own series to boot. See ya all in my new DOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDUMDUMDUMDUMDUMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOM book."
    The black smoke engulfs MZL, and quickly fades away into nothingness.
    "Choose a category, Miss Dyslexia."

    ******************************************************************************

    Back at Acton Lord's stately manor, the PrimeClone Acton Lord(PCAL)
    has decided what to do with the wReamed Acton Lord(wRAL).
    "I figure that thanks to you, the LNH will send one of their strike
    forces over here to deal with us. I'm going to have you meet them along
    with some disposable lackeys."
    "Who are they?"
    PCAL touches a secret panel, lifting the huge library of books to the ceiling. From this entrance, five costumed figures walk out.
    "Impressed?? I hope not. I'll tell you a little something about
    each of them. I call them the Netter Liberation Front. The members
    consist of LAGNETO: Master of Net-Lag, RUSH_FAN: able to take up lots posting room with dribble about Rush, MISTAKE: able to kinda look like somebody, but
    it is easy to detect, PYLON: token big man, and this is... Wait a sec. Who
    are you???"
    "I'm the Girl Next Door(tm)."
    "But what happened to IceHot?"
    "Well, she went on vacation, and this position was open in the
    Criminal Placement Service, so I took it."
    "I see, and what do you do.?"
    "I attract men of all ages to look at me."
    "I see, so you are a Panta copykat?"
    "No. You'll have to wait and see. I'm good. In fact, I'm the best
    at what I do."
    "Alright. wRAL, I want you to set up Defense Perimeter #5 with the
    NLF."
    "I understand."
    "Good. Now off you go. I have plans to work out."

    ******************************************************************************

    "What is 'I'll Be Back!!!'?", asks the UN hoping to get an answer
    right.
    "Incorrect."
    UN stands ready for yet another shock, but is also trying not to
    let the others know that he is being weakened by it.
    Z buzzs in, "What is 'This is F.U.N.'?"
    "Correct."
    "Star Wars Trivia for $1000."
    "The name of ChewBacca's son from the Star Wars Holiday Special
    from 1978."
    Trying to hold his composure, the UN is able to answer first
    again, "Who is Wumpy?" fearing that he again will have an incorrect answer.
    "Correct." Everyone in the room was surprised as the UN had his
    first correct answer. "And now for the final question in this round. Your favorite color."
    With his lightning reflexes, the UN hits the buzzer, and answers,
    "What is blue? NO!! I mean red!!!!!"
    "Incorrect"
    "What is black?" answers Z as he watches the UN get another
    taste of electric pain.
    "Correct. The scores are Z with $9300, Dyslexia with $6500,
    Multipl-X with $4100, and the UN with $-20100. The bonus question
    today is, 'Electrocutioner's Song'. We'll be back after these messages."

    ******************************************************************************

    Skulking around the LNHQ, the remaining members of the Z-Team,
    armed with used-paper airplanes, 5 day-old gumdrops, lint from a dryer and
    a hammer made out of empty cans and a broken plunger, encounter an MZL feeding a tied up Cheese-Cake Eater Lad a 5 pound jar of Baby Food, Beet flavor.
    Using the lint he found, Mr. World jumps on top of the MZL clone and covers
    his face with lint, while the rest of the team tries to help the ready-to- throw-up Legionnaire.
    "This should never happen to anyone. It's too cruel, even for us.
    Help him out, Tunes," orders Vince.
    Oblivious to his surroundings, C-CE Lad mumbles about how CheeseCake
    is the aphrodesiac of the gods.
    "Hey you!!! We need to know where are guns are at!" demands Tunes.
    C-CE Lad points over to a cabinet. Trump opens it up, and finds
    their weapons, and passes them out, giving Z's 2 machine-pistols with
    laser sightings and GOD clips to Tunes.
    Vince asks C-CE Lad, "What happened? What's going on?"
    "MZL, evil clone, I need..." mumbles C-CE Lad as he passes out
    from having to much baby food.
    "It looks like we will have to fight our way out of here. I want
    you to aim at the clones only. I do *not* want to fight these heroes. I
    think we just had a...misunderstanding."
    Following the sound of fighting, the Z-Team comes across the main
    hall of the LNH, filled with heroes and MZL clones battling each other. For
    a moment, Trump notices Coach disemboweling a clone near the hat stand.
    "Are you all ready?"
    Each of them nods, with their weapons primed and ready.
    "Go!"
    The Z-Team leap into the fray, hoping that their kill ratio per
    bullet will be the best ever.

    *****************************************************************************

    "The final question is....."
    A familiar ding is rung.
    "The Person who manipulated the Z-team into fighting the LNH without paying for it."
    Shocked by this, and not by the prodder, Z looked up at the Plot
    Retainer, and quickly started to write his answer. For about thirty
    seconds, elevator music is heard by everyone in COMA.
    "Time's up. Let's see how you have answered. We will start with
    the Ultimate Ninja who scored a record low $-20,000, but was allowed to
    play. Your answer is......"
    On a screen placed over the UN's head, it reads : WHO IS ACTON
    LORD?
    "You are correct, but since you were under $0, you will have
    $1. Let's see what Multipl-X said. His screen reads : WHO IS THE
    CROSSOVER QUEEN?
    Multipl-X had bet all of his money, and starts to break down
    and cry.
    "I'm sorry but you will stay here for eternity," says the
    Plot Retainer coldly.
    "What??? You mean that we were tricked into fighting each other
    like some cheap comic book?!" Z cries out loud. He then whispers to
    himself, "Of course, that makes sense. I should have known."
    Z looks over to the UN and says, "I know we don't like each other
    but we were screwed by Acton Lord. I think we should work together to get
    out of here. What do you say?"
    "Ninjas never work with anyone," the UN replies.
    "You work with the LNH. In fact, you co-lead them."
    "Well, I...eh...I do not work with people who fight me."
    "Look, you seem to be being attacked from all sides, and having
    extra help is always a bonus. You may not need the Z-Team's help, but
    I am offering our services, free of charge. This is against our set
    policy."
    "I guess you're right," says the UN. He puts his hand out to shake,
    which Z does with a bit of care, while in the background we hear Dyslexia
    throw a fit when we find out her answer was Harras. She lost all her money.
    "Z, what was your choice?"
    The screen above Z is blank, with no money bet.
    "You win."
    "Since I won, I would like to make a request."
    "What is it?"
    "Since the UN guessed the bonus question, I would like to have him
    leave with me."
    "I'm sorry. I can't do it."
    As Z converses with the Plot Retainer, the UN sneaks around the PR,
    and with his Ninja Bush, he slices off PR's utility belt, and bounces on
    top of Z. Since the PR is stunned by this action, Z quickly grabs both the belt and the UN, and presses a button. All around them fades.

    *******************************************************************************

    "We're winning!! Keep the pressure up on the clones!!" screams Kid Anarky, as he forces a MZL clone into a pile of Louise Simonson's New Mutants. Since the clone has no useful power, the comics cover him and suffocate him.
    Table and Chair, who were released to help fight off the clones, try to set up the gene scrambler/random teleporter to eliminate the clones.
    "Set it up for an area effect, sugarlips."
    "I have it all set TableTop."
    "Excellent, my love, now I will plug it in."
    Table finds an outlet, and plugs it in.
    "NOW!!"
    Suddenly, all of the MZL clones start vibrating and changing color.
    The LNH, the Z-Team, Chair, and Table all back away from the highly unstable foes, and then they all disappear.
    "What happened to them?" asks Rebel Yell.
    "I sent them all to Alt.sadistic.dentists.drill.drill.drill."
    "Sounds painful. I hope it hurts," says the Incredible Man With No
    Life.
    "So, what do we do now?" asks Squid Boy.
    "Do what?" says Apathy Lad.
    "Look!! It's the Z-Team!! They've escaped!!" shouts My-Kel.
    "YEAH!!!! Let's Get 'Em!!!!" replies Trivia Master shouting louder.
    "I don't think so!"
    Everyone in the main hall turn to see the UN standing side-by-side
    with Z.
    "We have to work together. We've all been duped. Z and I have
    formed an alliance to take care of Acton Lord."
    "What about Mr. Minister?" questions Pompous Lad.
    "WHO????"
    Dramatic music, along with a laser light show and bright orange
    smoke fill the hall. After a minute or so, the smoke clears, and a
    metallic figure in a preacher's outfit stands next to the LNH's main
    computer frame.
    "Hold them, Squiggy."
    A new voice from the computer answers, "Check!"
    Electromagnetic waves from the amp system are fired upon the heroes, forcing them down to the ground.
    "You are all fools. You think you can just defeat my plan of revenge.
    You are deadly mistaken. First, revenge on Table. This one is personal."
    Mr. Minister walks thru the crowd, searching for someone. He walks
    .
    .
    over to both Rebel Yell and Lurking Girl, and picks them both up with one
    hand.
    "Z, I have got, ARGH, an idea, ARGH!" Mr. World screams in pain.
    "What?"
    "HEY TUNES, INFIDEL!!!!!!!!!"
    "You know you aren't supposed to say...."
    Z is interrupted by Tunes's battle cry. Fighting the onslaught
    of noise, Tunes runs straight at Mr. Minister with both of Z's guns
    blazing, yelling, "DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!"
    Being no more than annoyed by the bouncing bullets, Mr. Minister changes his focus and lets loose a destructo ray at Tunes. Not caring what happens
    to himself, Tunes runs into the ray, screaming in pain, and fades away.
    "He killed Tunes, ARGH!!!" screams Trump.
    Walking back to the main computer, Mr. Minister hits a button on the keyboard, and turns to his foes.
    "All I need is my favorite sibling, and then, finally, we will
    be a home. Oh, and all I have to say to you all is this:
    THE BOOK IS CANCELLED, AND NOW, SO ARE YOU."
    Mr. Minister, along with his quarry, vanish in front of the LNH's
    eyes, as they hear the computer state, "Destruct Active Now."
    A series of explosions are heard, and the roof is coming down all
    around the LNH. The transporter has been smashed by rubble. The
    entrances and exits are blocked. Then, all goes black.

    ****************************************************************************

    Hearing the explosions, a souped-up street cleaner stops in front of
    the now destroyed LNHQ. A pair of costumed figures walk out of its cab.
    "Holey Bringing Down The House, Captain Clean-Up. The LNHQ has
    been destroyed."
    "Yes, I know Squeaky Clean, my side-kick. I just wish that I could
    enter a story for other reasons than cleaning up after everyone else."
    "Look. I think I see some of the LNH."
    Captain Clean-Up and Squeaky Clean run thru the rubble, finding some bodies.
    "Are they dead, Captain??"
    "Let's see..."

    THE 501 BLUES/RATTLER HIDE SPECIAL #3 (Electrocutioner's Song part 10)
    The Check is in the Mailer
    by SCAVENGER


    Five seconds ago, the headquarters of the Legion of Net.Heroes was turned into rubble.
    "I am not amused!"
    "Gee, Fan.Dom, looks like all your LNH collectibles are gonna be worth a lot more now."
    The FAN.DOM OF THE ALT.RA threw a bowl of popcorn at DAMN YANKEE. "FOOL!! I COLLECT TO HAVE, not for monetary reasons!!! If the Legion is destroyed, there will BE NO MORE MERCHANDISE, well except for cheesy nostalgia stuff, but that is all junk! LET'S GET THIS STORY BACK ON LINE!!!!"
    SNAP<<<
    The wide-screen TV showed that LNHQ had suddenly reformed, whole and unharmed.

    LNH<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    "Well, that was interesting." CAPTAIN CLEANUP had just begun picking up the pieces of the destroyed base when he suddenly found the pieces missing.
    The other LNHers, who had been _crawling from the wreckage_, but were now only crawling on the floor stood up.
    "What happened?" asked ORGANIC LASS.
    DOCTOR STOMPER spoke up, "Obviously, the forces of nature that surround not only the base but our very lives converged at a critical convergengence point, causing a refraction in causal destructive forces operating at the time. This, of course, instantaneously reversed the Aeon Flux of chaos particles, thereby rendering the base whole again."
    "Obviously," said SARCASTIC LAD, quite sarcasticly.
    "In English, if you don't mind, Doc?" asked OBSCURE TRIVIA LAD.
    "I have no idea."
    The ULTIMATE NINJA stood up, acting strangely leader-like. "Ok, let's
    get up to date. What all has transpired?"
    SIG.FILE LAD shouted out, "The MARVEL_ZOMBIE LAD clones were all evil, and now they're all turned to powder."
    CHEESECAKE-EATER LAD added, "Uh, SIDEKICK MAN is somewhere with SIDEWINDER, and he's evil now."
    LIST LAD sighed. "He's not `evil now', he's always been evil. There never was a Sidekick Man."
    "But what about the Tantalizing Teens?" asked Sig.File.
    "Sig.File, you fool! There were no Tantalizing Teens! You've been brainwashed or something!"
    TYPO LAD said, "Rable Yull and Lrkng Grl wer kdnepped bi Mr. Mnestar."
    CALIFORNIA KID said, "And those Z-Dudes left, saying they wanted out of this turkey cross-over, dude."
    "I do not blame them," said the Ninja, "Anything else?"
    "SIDEWINDER WAS ACTUALLY THE GOLDEN AGE ACTON LORD!" said PLOT KING.
    "Jeez! Is anybody not an evil dupe these days?" commented KID FROTHING- AT-THE-MOUTH.

    LNH<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    In the Monitoring Room, MULTI-TASKING MAN, who had just put Table and Chair into Alt.Romance to keep them out of the way (M-TM isn't heartless, ya know), was about to make an amazing discovery.
    "I hate it when the base gets blown up and reconstituted! That really messes up my timing. Hello! What's this? Hmmm....very interesting. REBEL YELL will find this very helpful when he gets back, but that is for another story. On to the current problem." He turned to CONTRAPTION MAN and the still lagged MS. MULTITASK. "I think I know how to save her, and you too, Contraption Man."
    "M-m-me too? W-w-what's wrong with me?"
    "Why, you're dying, didn't you know? Hmm, I guess not. Well you are, and if you don't get help soon, you'll be dead (the natural outcome of dying). It'll be a particularly horrible and painfull death. And soon, I might add."
    "Oh-my-G-d. How could this have happened? I'm so young! It's not fair! Quick, what can I do to save me...and Taskani too, of course."
    "Of course. You're going to have to go back to the future. Yep, that's it. Go back to the future and your illness will vanish and the Ultimate Lag will wear off."
    "But if I go back, I'll no longer be in the LNH, and you will all could be destroyed by some traitor or something."

    The anti-card!! >:o

    "Mr. Minister Builds His Dream Plot"

    X3 That's a deep cut

    Coach, missing member of the Z-Team, rips off, along with Manga Man's left hand, his Posting Encroachment bracelet, which allows him to invade Alt.Comics.Lnh, every month or so from Rec.Arts.Manga. Manga Man fades away in front of Plot King's eyes, while Coach licks his paws.

    Sure, that can be how it works! :D

    "I know who you are," says Plot King, walking over to pet Coach. "I know that your team is not villianous, as the rest of the LNH thinks it is.
    I watched all of the episodes of your TV show, so I know better."
    "MEOW."
    "I know that.

    X3 Sure!

    "I can't believe they caught us like that. I wonder how they did it?" asks Trump.
    "They must have confused us, since we were all acting out of character. Most likely, it was bad writing.

    It takes some balls to say "these characters are written as badasses who beat everybody with no sweat, so if they're on the back foot, that's bad writing".

    Don't worry, though, we always bounce back,
    like a superball," says Vince.
    "You mean out of control and dangerous?" asks Mr. World.
    "You bet."

    That's a good line tho

    "I refuse to believe you will do this to us. Anyways, no one ever
    is captured forever. Hell, even PP's parents have return from..." says Marvel_Zombie Lad, while being interrupted by the Ultimate Ninja.

    Oh, yeah, the period of time when Spider-Man's parents got resurrected for a bit
    and then they were duplicates or something. The 90s.

    And
    finally, on our special edition of Jeopardy, we have an old enemy of the
    LNH hiding under a disguise that has fooled everyone, here is...."
    A drum roll is heard, as the mask of the Electrocutioner falls apart and slumps in heaps on the floor.
    "Dyslexia!!!"

    So many twists. X>

    As 3 of the MZL clones start to grab Parking Karma Kid and toss him into one of the LNH washing machines, California Kid uses his surf board and beats one over the head and into the machine. Quickly, Parking Karma Kid puts some detergent in, closes the lid, and turns the machine on to Whites. He turns around and sees the other 2 MZL take the surf board and break it on California Kid's head. Instantly, PK Kid pulls one of the clones into the dryer, and turns it onto Permanent Press. Unfortunately, PK Kid does not see the other MZL try to use the broken surf board like the "silver surfer" and try to fly into him. The collision sends them reeling into the wall, knocking
    both out.

    This is some good Silly Action, kind of Jackie Chan-esque

    Seeing Nit-Pick Lad defeating a clone by pointing
    out the slight color difference with the original, RY cries, "NP Lad, can
    you help out C-S Boy? He might be used to wipe one of the MZL's noses."
    As the Plot King (carrying the body of Sig.Lad) and Coach walk into
    the battle, they see Occultism Kid change some offending MZL's into members of the Jackson 5.
    "A.B.C. It's easy as 1,2,3."

    So many initialisms. X>

    "Who is Spiro Agnew!?" shouts the Ultimate Ninja as he hits the
    buzzer first.
    "Incorrect." says the PR, as the UN receives another shock to his system.

    ghehehehe

    Surprising everyone, including the Plot Retainer, black smoke
    creeps up from nowhere, and heads directly for MZL.
    "Finally. I've been waiting to be resurrected just like that 'Warlock' guy, and I'll be getting my own series to boot. See ya all in my new DOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDUMDUMDUMDUMDUMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOM book."

    ...I'm going to assume that this is some 90s reference I'm not deep enough down that rabbit hole to get. X>

    "Impressed?? I hope not. I'll tell you a little something about
    each of them. I call them the Netter Liberation Front. The members
    consist of LAGNETO: Master of Net-Lag, RUSH_FAN: able to take up lots posting room with dribble about Rush, MISTAKE: able to kinda look like somebody, but it is easy to detect, PYLON: token big man, and this is... Wait a sec. Who are you???"
    "I'm the Girl Next Door(tm)."
    "But what happened to IceHot?"
    "Well, she went on vacation, and this position was open in the
    Criminal Placement Service, so I took it."

    X3 I love how casual all this stuff is.

    "Correct."
    "Star Wars Trivia for $1000."
    "The name of ChewBacca's son from the Star Wars Holiday Special
    from 1978."
    Trying to hold his composure, the UN is able to answer first
    again, "Who is Wumpy?" fearing that he again will have an incorrect answer.
    "Correct." Everyone in the room was surprised as the UN had his
    first correct answer.

    *tactfully doesn't point out that it was actually Lumpy*

    "And now for the final question in this round. Your
    favorite color."
    With his lightning reflexes, the UN hits the buzzer, and answers,
    "What is blue? NO!! I mean red!!!!!"
    "Incorrect"
    "What is black?" answers Z as he watches the UN get another
    taste of electric pain.
    "Correct.

    Oh, come on, that's a bit much. X>

    Skulking around the LNHQ, the remaining members of the Z-Team,
    armed with used-paper airplanes, 5 day-old gumdrops, lint from a dryer and
    a hammer made out of empty cans and a broken plunger, encounter an MZL feeding
    a tied up Cheese-Cake Eater Lad a 5 pound jar of Baby Food, Beet flavor.

    This is some amazing nonsense. X3

    The Z-Team leap into the fray, hoping that their kill ratio per
    bullet will be the best ever.

    These guys. X>

    "The final question is....."
    A familiar ding is rung.
    "The Person who manipulated the Z-team into fighting the LNH without paying for it."
    Shocked by this, and not by the prodder, Z looked up at the Plot Retainer, and quickly started to write his answer.

    X3 That's wonderful. A good way of using comedy for plot progression.

    "Time's up. Let's see how you have answered. We will start with
    the Ultimate Ninja who scored a record low $-20,000, but was allowed to
    play. Your answer is......"
    On a screen placed over the UN's head, it reads : WHO IS ACTON
    LORD?
    "You are correct,

    GASP!

    but since you were under $0, you will have
    $1.

    GASP!!!

    Let's see what Multipl-X said. His screen reads : WHO IS THE
    CROSSOVER QUEEN?
    Multipl-X had bet all of his money, and starts to break down
    and cry.

    Heeheehee

    "Ninjas never work with anyone," the UN replies.
    "You work with the LNH. In fact, you co-lead them."

    Man's got a point - indeed, nobody knows at this point how relevant that's going
    to be.

    Table and Chair, who were released to help fight off the clones, try to set up the gene scrambler/random teleporter to eliminate the clones.
    "Set it up for an area effect, sugarlips."
    "I have it all set TableTop."

    I love how over-the-top they are with this.

    "What happened to them?" asks Rebel Yell.
    "I sent them all to Alt.sadistic.dentists.drill.drill.drill."
    "Sounds painful. I hope it hurts," says the Incredible Man With No Life.

    I'm not adding that one to the wiki unless it gets mentioned again. X>

    "We have to work together. We've all been duped. Z and I have
    formed an alliance to take care of Acton Lord."
    "What about Mr. Minister?" questions Pompous Lad.
    "WHO????"
    Dramatic music, along with a laser light show and bright orange
    smoke fill the hall. After a minute or so, the smoke clears, and a
    metallic figure in a preacher's outfit stands next to the LNH's main
    computer frame.
    "Hold them, Squiggy."
    A new voice from the computer answers, "Check!"
    Electromagnetic waves from the amp system are fired upon the heroes, forcing them down to the ground.

    Okay, I'll accept this jobbing of the heroes, it works.

    "Z, I have got, ARGH, an idea, ARGH!" Mr. World screams in pain.
    "What?"
    "HEY TUNES, INFIDEL!!!!!!!!!"
    "You know you aren't supposed to say...."
    Z is interrupted by Tunes's battle cry. Fighting the onslaught
    of noise, Tunes runs straight at Mr. Minister with both of Z's guns
    blazing, yelling, "DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!DIE!!!"
    Being no more than annoyed by the bouncing bullets, Mr. Minister changes
    his focus and lets loose a destructo ray at Tunes. Not caring what happens to himself, Tunes runs into the ray, screaming in pain, and fades away.

    And it's really interesting that their attempt at getting out of it not only doesn't work but kills one of their own.

    "All I need is my favorite sibling, and then, finally, we will
    be a home. Oh, and all I have to say to you all is this:
    THE BOOK IS CANCELLED, AND NOW, SO ARE YOU."

    Hey, that's a Retcon Hour thing! Wait your turn!

    "Holey Bringing Down The House, Captain Clean-Up. The LNHQ has
    been destroyed."
    "Yes, I know Squeaky Clean, my side-kick. I just wish that I could enter a story for other reasons than cleaning up after everyone else."
    "Look. I think I see some of the LNH."
    Captain Clean-Up and Squeaky Clean run thru the rubble, finding some bodies.
    "Are they dead, Captain??"
    "Let's see..."

    But this should have really had the cliffhanger at the LNHQ collapsing. X>

    ...wow, was this just playing around or a response to someone being a dick? X3

    The FAN.DOM OF THE ALT.RA threw a bowl of popcorn at DAMN YANKEE. "FOOL!!
    I COLLECT TO HAVE, not for monetary reasons!!! If the Legion is destroyed, there will BE NO MORE MERCHANDISE, well except for cheesy nostalgia stuff, but
    that is all junk! LET'S GET THIS STORY BACK ON LINE!!!!"

    There's a lot of high-quality nostalgia stuff nowadays, to be fair.

    "What happened?" asked ORGANIC LASS.
    DOCTOR STOMPER spoke up, "Obviously, the forces of nature that surround not only the base but our very lives converged at a critical convergengence point, causing a refraction in causal destructive forces operating at the time.
    This, of course, instantaneously reversed the Aeon Flux of chaos particles, thereby rendering the base whole again."
    "Obviously," said SARCASTIC LAD, quite sarcasticly.
    "In English, if you don't mind, Doc?" asked OBSCURE TRIVIA LAD.
    "I have no idea."

    Heheehee

    LIST LAD sighed. "He's not `evil now', he's always been evil. There never was a Sidekick Man."
    "But what about the Tantalizing Teens?" asked Sig.File.
    "Sig.File, you fool! There were no Tantalizing Teens! You've been brainwashed or something!"

    I'm not sure what conclusion Jef's own stories came to about this, but in my canon the Tantalizing Teens were definitely real.

    "SIDEWINDER WAS ACTUALLY THE GOLDEN AGE ACTON LORD!" said PLOT KING.
    "Jeez! Is anybody not an evil dupe these days?" commented KID FROTHING-
    AT-THE-MOUTH.

    Heeheehee

    In the Monitoring Room, MULTI-TASKING MAN, who had just put Table and Chair into Alt.Romance to keep them out of the way (M-TM isn't heartless, ya know),

    ^.^ I love that they're so shmoopy for each other. I gotta use that when I bring
    them back.

    "Why, you're dying, didn't you know? Hmm, I guess not. Well you are, and
    if you don't get help soon, you'll be dead (the natural outcome of dying).

    X3

    "Of course. You're going to have to go back to the future. Yep, that's
    it. Go back to the future and your illness will vanish and the Ultimate Lag will wear off."
    "But if I go back, I'll no longer be in the LNH, and you will all could be
    destroyed by some traitor or something."
    "That's a risk we'll have to take. There is no way that we can let you sacrifice your life for us. So, off you go. And remember, you can't come back, no matter what. And tell your friends that it would be just as bad if they came back. We will miss you and honor your memory. Bye!" and M-TM pressed a button on his console.
    "But...." Contraption Man and Ms. Multitask vanished into the timestream.
    "Whew, finally got rid of all those damn future travelers. Now back to work."

    XD XD XD Amazing

    "FOOL! NOONE CAN LEAVE HERE UNLESS I WILL IT! I AM A GREAT AND POWERFUL
    BEING, NOT SOME SHMUCK WITH A BUG ZAPPER!

    heeheehee

    I AM A MEMBER OF A GROUP OF ENTITIES
    KNOWN AS THE _FINISHLESS_. WE WERE BEFORE THE BEGINNING AND WILL BE AFTER THE
    END! ONCE I WAS KNOWN AS _ENTERTAINMENT_, BUT THAT WAS MANY EONS AGO. >SIGH< BUT SOMETIMES I GET NOSTALIGIC AND REVERT TO MY OLD WAYS....AHH, THOSE WERE THE
    DAYS. MY SISTER, _DYSLEXIA_, CONSENTED TO HELP IN MY FUN."
    "But if you were "Entertainment" and are now the "Electrocutioner", two names that start with an "e", why does hers start with a "d"?" asked a charred
    X-Over Man.
    "WELL, SIS NEVER COULD SPELL"

    Heeheehee :D I like that this is how the Sandman parody stuff gets dropped, all casual

    The Ultimate Ninja was not happy. Usually, he just had to pose and act ninja- like. Rebel Yell or CONTINUITY CHAMP had always been around to do the actual leading. But CC was stuck in that Continuity Caper thing and Rebel Yell
    had been kidnapped. Now everybody was turning to him.

    Get used to it, bucko

    In an alley across the street from the HQ, the destroyed body of Sidekick
    Man rusted. The evil robot lay forgotten by the net.heroes.

    Hmmmmmmm...

    In the Medlab, SIG.LAD bubbled unstably.

    X3

    And finaly, on board MR. MINISTER's satellite, on the prisoner level, down
    a hallway, in a cell, were the imprisoned Rebel Yell and LURKING GIRL.
    "I don't belive this! I've been kidnapped again!!!"

    XD

    Lurking Girl lept at Mr. Minister, reaching for his throat. "Minister, you scum!"
    She bounced off a force field. "Tut, tut. That is no way for a '''"mother"''' to treat her '''''''"child"''''''.

    Man's going crazy on the quotes

    Lurking Girl looked up, "What, were we bad parents? Did we abandon you to
    a cold, uncaring techno-future after you had been infected by a computer-like virus by some immortal madman?"
    "No!! Nothing as benign as that!!!! You would not let me live in the castle at Dis.net World!!! No matter how much I pleaded, you forced me to leave!!!"

    X3

    "What
    about him?" Yell said, pointing to Sufferyng.
    "You always loved him best!!! You gave him a complete set of Net.Man toys
    and left me with junk!!"
    "Th-ats n-n-not tr-ue," began the barely concious Sufferyng, "Y-you ju-st
    des-troy-ed all of your t-toys and Mom and Dad would-n't g-get you an-ymore 'til you learned t-to t-take care of 'em"
    "SHUT UP, YOU!!!" Minister zapped Sufferyng with a force blast, sending him back into unconciousness.

    You know, I think you might have actually been bad parents

    "ME!!! VILE CUR!!! YOU SHALL SUFFER THE WRATH OF PLOT KING!!!!"
    The storyline sentinel engaged the bewildered Mr. Minister in combat, while List Lad ran into the cell and freed the captive heroes.
    "Let's go. I, List Lad, have brought a ship to shuttle us home."
    The three net.heroes ran to the ship and boarded it. Lurking Girl was very confused. "How'd they get here? I thought only genetic..."
    Yell interupted, "List Lad and Plot King are alt.versions of me. They have my genetic pattern. They knew where we were the same way I knew who Sufferyng was. We can share thoughts."

    I should definitely use alt.telepathy in something.

    "Then how come you didn't know about SideKick Man when I told you about the search for him?"
    "It's not a constant sharing of information, only when it's necessary. Besides, between you and me, I rarely tap into List Lad's thoughts. They're really boring.

    X3

    You know that scene in STAR WARS, where the Death Star blows up, and Luke's X-Wing and the Millenium Falcon swoop out of the explosion? Well, picture that but replace the X-Wing with Plot King and the Falcon with List Lad's shuttle, and you get the idea.

    XD

    wRAL and the NETTER LIBERATION FRONT stood in a defensive perimeter around
    Acton Lord's estate. PCAL was plotting in his library, while in the basement,
    the real SideWinder lay unconcious.

    Must get all the pieces in place before the big finale!!

    Drew "next: the big finale!!" Nilium
