Space Baron Episode #61

SPACE BARON and the Obsession with Karaoke

- By Neill

The birds were chirping and the bees were buzzing on a quite summer's day, people were happy everywhere. Little did they know that a cloud of hate and despair was about to decend onto their little piece of blissfull paradise.

"I wish that cloud would get here, this place is boring" whined Brian, showing remarkable insight.

"YOU Idiot! You are supposed to be here Blissfully unaware, with a flower in your hair, without a care in the world. All you are doing is making a bad Space Baron worse!" Said Space Baron.

"I don't know how you could do that" huffed Brian.

Suddenly! ".....this has to be one of the crappest Space Barons I have..."

I SAID SUDDENLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screamed the Nararator trying desperately to keep the plot moving.

A DARK CLOUD DRIFTED DOWN UPON THE CITY TILL IT WAS NEAR GROUND LEVEL, WHERE IT HOVERED FOR A SECOND, BEFORE SPEWING FORTH BUILDINGS TO ALL AREAS OF THE CITY.

"What are those things?" exclaimed Brian. "And why are there strip joints on every corner of them?"

"Oh My God! Not again!" screamed Space Baron as he fell to his badly grazed knees.

FLASHBACK

MUSIC QUIETLY DRIFTS THROUGH A CLUB WHERE PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING A FEW DRINKS, A YOUNG SPACE BARON, MOVES THROUGH THE CROWD. SUDDENLY THE MUSIC STOPS AND THE LIGHTS DIM, THE FLOOR STARTS TO SHAKE AS A GAGGLE OF WOMEN RUSH ONTO THE STAGE. SPACE BARON DESPERATELY GRABS THE SLEEVE OF A PASSERBY....

"Where did those Microphones come from.............WHAT'S HAPPENING!"

THE GUY SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS, SUDDENLY THE SICKENINGLY FAMILAR STRAINS OF MARIAH CAREY WASH OVER OUR INTREPID HERO.

"Dear God No, please not KAROKE NIGHT!"

"Mmmmmmmmmmm" Hummmmed the Gaggle of women in horendus off key sort of way.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FLASHFORWARD

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Screamed Space Baron.

"It was Horrible Brian, there were people.......there........SINGING FOR FUN!" Wimpered Space Baron clutching Brian.

"It's happening again isn't Space Baron?" said Brian shaking off the warm glow.

"Yes Brian, but this time I am going to do something about it! To the Space Baron mobile!"

"Not so fast, Space Baron!" Yelled DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY!

"It's the superbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY!" said Space Baron!" yelled Brian, quick as you like.

"Are you behind this dastardly plan to rule the world through Karoke!"

"No, I am here to help you, I have given up my evil ways to rid the world of this menace, let our forces combine!" said the superbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY feeling a little corny.

"To the Dark Buildings of Doom" screamed Space Baron, pointing to the decending buildings.

A PIERCING DEAFENING NOISE DECENDED ON OUR HEROES AS THEY ARRIVED AT THE BUILDINGS OF DOOM.

"Good God they are trying to kill us Space Baron, this noise is gyrating my very soul! Make it stoppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!" screamed the Superbly Evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY.

"GIVE ME THAT!" yelled Space Baron ripping the Puff Daddy tape out of the Space Baron mobile Wiz-Bang TM stereo.

"Hey!" screamed Brain as he came out of his Puff Daddy induced trance. "That's Music with a message man, all the brothers listen to that"

"The only way that we are going to get in is to wear some clever costumes" said Space Baron thoughtfully.

"I've got dibs on the safrai suit," said Brian.

"I think not!" said the Superbly Evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY, "I always thought that choclate brown went well with my hair."

"Well I have the purple leggings at least............"

*10 minutes later*

"Just act casual," said Space Baron adjusting his pink tutu and beret.

"How are we tonight gentlemen?" asked a doorman with a malcious smile.

"ARE YOU THE ONE THAT HAS BROUGHT THIS FILTHY KAROKE MENACE TO OUR WORLD AND THREATED OUR VERY LIVES AND OUR FREEDOM LUKE WARM!" screamed the superbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY, his chest heaving.

"We were supposed to be under cover!" said Space Baron in a loud wisper.

"How did you know my name!" Screamed Luke Warm.

"It's on your nametag," said Brian completeing the joke that just *had* to be done.

"That's all right then," said Luke Warm putting away the automatic machine gun. "Enter and enjoy!"

OUR HEROES ENTER THROUGH AN ARCHWAY TO THE SOUND OF DISTANT MUSIC AND A CROWD OF PEOPLE STAND NEAR THE BAR LOUNGING BACK AND WATCHING THEIR FRIENDS.

"All these people seem to be of the same Racial group, is there any reason for that?" inquired Brian.

"It is a Genetic Disease, that has reached epidenmic proportions. It was first detected 50 years ago in China, when a Commie offical confiscated a microphone for The Revolution. Karoke became the catchcry for Mau Se Tung and it spread across the country in a matter of weeks!" said the superbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY.

"How do you know so much about Karoke?" asked Space Baron supiciously.

"I did my PHD on it," said the uperbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY proudly.

"Couldn't you have thought of something worthwhile to do for your PHD on?" asked Brian.

"Pheeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! spat the superbly evil DR KILLPEOPLEVIOLENTLY at the sheer stupidity of Brian's Question and smacked Brian across the Head for good measure.

"Now you are getting the hang of it," said Space Baron, "We should work together more often," as he proceeded to bite Brian's tits off in an attempt to jump on the violence bandwagon.

WILL BRIAN EVER GET HIS TITS BACK?
WILL THE SINISTER LUKE WARM FIND OUR INTREPID HEROS?
WILL BERETS EVER COME BACK INTO FASHION?
WILL I EVER GET ROUND TO WRITING PART TWO OF THIS SB?
