The Fu Manchu Turkey is....
SunAeryn

headed this way!" a voice was heard in the basement.
Anni was cleaning up the mess it had made when it hit her and Tick with the pumpkin pies.
"When I find Tick....is she ever gonna get it! Leaving me here to clean up this mess....alone." Anni grumbled. She looked up when she heard Tick's voice. She noticed Tick, Raven_Kat and LabMouse outside chasing the turkey. Then they stopped. It had disappeared. They came into the basement to get something to drink. Anni handed Tick a mop
"You can finish up here. I'm going to go into the kitchen and fix a snack. I can't believe you left me to clean up this alone." Anni said, sounding like her weirding voice was coming back. Tick had no choice but to obey.
"Anni, I'm sorry....I'll finish it right now." Tick answered sad that she had left her friend to clean up alone.
Just then they all heard a noise from outside....it sounded like a voice...one that had been missing for a few days.
"What the frell? OW! Dren, who knew that turkeys could do that?" SunAeryn said as she made her way to the basement.
As she entered she looked back at the fleeing turkey and then at her friends.
"What did I ever do to that turkey? I haven't been here for a few days....real life happened and I had to take a break."
Sun said looking a little dazed. She tired to pull the feathers that some how pierced her thick PK jacket. She looked at Anni, Tick, Raven_Kat, and LabMouse and asked
"Why did the guys let this fu manchu maniac out?" Sun then collapsed on the floor. Out cold...see unknown to her fellow Scooby Scapers....Sun was allergic to PUNCH that's why she never had any.....it knocks her out cold. Anni and Tick looked at Sun. Raven and LabMouse looked on as well. "Someone should go find the guys.....we have a problem." Anni said trying to pick Sun up.
"Tick a little help here?" Anni asked Tick
"Man I didn't realize PK uniforms made the person so heavy." tick commented as she and Anni dragged Sun closer to the couch.
"Where's that Viking when you need him?" Anni and Tick wondered. Raven_Kat and LabMouse left to find the turkey.


Will the Scooby Scapers ever catch the fu manchu possed turkey? And why did it attack SunAeryn?

Next......     

Raven-Kat -- I am DEFINITELY eating that bird

"Sun, are y ou okay?" Raven sighs. "Guys, help me, let's get her up ont eh couch, at least."

The whole scooby gang helps arange Sun caarefully on the couch.

"Does anybody know first aid?" LabMouse asks.

Heads shake.

"Well, SOMEONE should stay with her." LabMouse says.

"Any volunteers?" Tick asks. "Anni? You want to stay?"

"And clean up this mess alone?"

"You wanna go hunt killer turkeys instead?" Raven asks mildly.

"Okay, I'll stay."

"Leave the mess if you want." Raven says. "I'll get it when we get back. Let's move out, guys!"     

RagnarRB -- Sure this will work?

Ranar fingered the handle of his large fish net gingerly. Sword had it's twin resting on his shoulder.

"Sure it'll work Ragnar, since we cann't seem to catch it with our hands will just have to net it instead!"

Ragnar looked at the net skeptically. "Well maybe..."

"Surely the great viking Ragnar has done a little fish netting in his time?"

Ragnar smiled. He gave Sword a brotherly pat. "Sure have brother, sure have. Let's go catch up with the others."

The duo had retreated back out of doors and down to the grotto's fishing shack. The timely arrival of Leaped had broken the strain and granted them an out. Ticker had steadially admonished Leaped for snurching one of her pumpkin cakes, though she did ease off when she realized it was only the two numbskulls she had instructed earlier. She even gave Leaped another one to snack on while the guys looked on with envy. "You've already had yours!" she had told them with firm conviction. The boys looked dim but at least they had been forgiven.

Raven__Kat meanwhile had worked hard at getting Anni to believe what had happened, but when it came down to discussing the odd effects of punch she had finally relented.

All that remained now was to catch the monster.

"Shh, what's that." SWORD stretched out a hasty arm to stop Ragnar's foreward motion.

Gobble...gobble...

The bushs rustled. The guys peered intently, nets at the ready.

gobble...gobble...gobble...

The guys exchanged hand signals and crept foreward, flanking the disturbance. Well quietly...steathilly...with utmost caution...tippy toeing...creeping and slithering...they drew closer...

Gobble...gobble....

A turkey head appeared. <<SWOOSH>> <<SWOOSH>> the nets sped downward. The brush errupted with motion. The turkey executed a perfect tuck and roll wings outswept to catch the guys in the shins. It was a perfect manuever. Raven--Kat and LabMouse emerged in his wake...right in the paths of the decending nets!

<<SWOOSH>> <<HEY!!!>>

The guys tumbled into a pile having bagged their fellow Scoobies!


BWAHAHAHAHAH......The turkey scurried away...      

LabMouse -- Thanks Guys!


LabMouse and Raven_Kat struggle to get out of these nets.

"Don't ASK me when was the last time I was in fishnets" Labmouse said to Raven.

Come on guys, give us a hand. We promise not to bite...

HARD!      

Weapon0 -- Weapon0 emerges wearing a gi

"Weapon, why are wearing your pajamas in the middle of the day." Sword questioned. "They aren't pajamas, Sword. It's a gi, the traditional martial arts uniform." Weapon0 answered "O.K., maybe they are my pajamas, but it's supposed to be a gi." "I knew all those years of playing street fighting video games would pay off someday." Weapon0 starts furiously posing. "Snake and crane, lotus blossom, enraged tiger" The rest of the scapers just looked at him funny. Juno24 entered the room. "Weapon, why are wearing your pajamas in the middle of the day." She asked. "They aren't pajamas, Juno. It's a gi, the traditional martial arts uniform." Sword answered. Juno just nodded, they sure looked like pajamas to her. Weapon0 helped the others out of the net and started his search for the dreaded turkey.
Afraid he might hurt himself, the other scapers followed close behind. "Don't worry guys, I know karate and 17 other japanese words. I'm gonna mess him up." Weapon0 said. Coming upon the turkey, Weapon0 jumped out and shouted "Hey you turkey, you pied my friends, prepare for punishment." The turkey responded "Attack me if you dare, I will crush you." "Is it just me, or are their lips not matching their words?" SunAeryn asked. "I think you're right, Sun. It's like they're badly dubbed." Leaped responded. "I know kung fu." Weapon0 said in his best Keanu Reeves voice. "Show me." The turkey said in his best Lawrence Fishburne voice. At that Weapon0 charged the turkey screaming. All the other scapers could see was a flurry of fists, feet, and feathers. After the exchange, Weapon0 did his best Bruce Lee scream and punched the turkey right in the beak sending him flying several feet. "Get up." Weapon0 screamed. The turkey picked himself up and said "You may have won this round Unknown Warrior, but I'll be back and I still have the pies. HAHAHAHA." "NOOOOOO!!!!!!" Weapon0 screamed, charging the turkey, but he was gone.

"That was pretty cool, Weapon" Rangar said "Can you teach me that sometime." "Snatch the brownie from my hand, grasshopper" Weapon0 demanded. But as he reached for it, Weapon0 quickly shoved the brownie in his mouth. "Too slow, grasshopper" Weapon0 mumbled, his mouth still full of brownie. He then began furiously posing again "Drunken monkey, grinning panda, violent fish"     

Annisette -- Wow...This is like American Ninja!

"Anni, where are you going?" calls after Anni who has momentarily disappeared back into the Dominion House kitchen.

The rest of the gang is entranced by Weapon0's mastery of new and creative styles and forms.

"OK, I'm back." Anni returns, her arms full of steaming popcorn. "I've got plain, salted, butter, extra butter, punch of doom flavored, caramel crunch and cheese flavored."


"What are you doing?" Ragnar pauses for a moment and looks at Anni and the popcorn spilling out from everwhere.


"Well, I thought, since we have no Farscape...and this looks like a Martial Arts Movie marathon that we needed popcorn, NO?" Anni looks up quizzically at the gang.


One by one the gang takes there favorite popcorn and they begin arguing over the merits of "American Ninja" vs "The Karate Kid" vs "Enter the Dragon" and hundreds of others.


Weapon0 continues flying through his poses.      

LabMouse -- Save the cheese

flavored popcorn for me!!!!!

Wow, look at Weapon0 go!      

SWORDandMUG -- BWAHHAHAH * gobble*

"Wow, he sure is good," Scoobs could be commented as saying while lounging on blankets and lawn chairs, munching popcorn and pizza delivered by the Pizza Dude, guzzling root beers and other drinks. A big screen TV was conveniently found and wheeled over, and the Scoobs vegetated themselves watching Martial Arts flicks. With abounding MST3K commentary and stance demonstrations by Weapon0, a good and jolly mood was had by all.

Until an overhead shadow blotted out the sun.

"Attention, foolish humans * gobble*" came a voice over a loud speaker. The Scooby Gang suddenly rallied from their complacency to a state of alert as they gazed up at the floating fortress overhead. Built in the shape of a turkey, the terrifying object dominated the air. Dr. Gobbles could be seen standing upon a platform at the head of the turkey ship.

"I have accomplished my goal and * gobble * defeated you! Did you not notice the date? I have * gobble * kept you busy in your futile pursuit of me, and you have all missed Thanksgiving dinner! * gobble * The lives of innocent turkeys have been spared your barbarous customs! I am victorious!!!! Bwahahahah * gobble * hahahahahah!"

Annisette pulls out a pocket calendar.

"It's true!" she cries out in alarm. "It's all true! We have missed Thanksgiving!"

"What do we do now?" TickTick pleads, her turkeyphobia increasing with each turkey encounter.

"Um..." SWORD begins looking up, "I'd suggest running!"

"Oh crud...." Ragnar says as he sees the descending giant pumpkin pie.



* * * {{{{ [[[[[[[SPLAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!]]]]] }}}} * * *



"....HAAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahah * gobble * hahaahah...." they hear from their orange cinnamon and nutmeg calamity as the turkey ship travels away.



"Head count," SunAeryn calls. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah..."

"...uh huh..."

"...how am I going to get this out of my hair?"

"Why doesn't anyone ever throw cheesecake?"

"mmmm... that turkey's a pretty good baker..."
