Beginnings

Part Five

    Gray Zombie started crawling back into the ventilation system.

    "Are we going through the ventilation system, again?" asked DanZero

    Gray Zombie shook his head, "Don't know our way through the system to get to Medusa on time, so you guys are going to have to sneak around to that room they are holding her in."

    "And where are you going?" Rizzz asked

    "I'm going to the Kortac command center. I might be able to deactivate the scrambler device and then we can get out of here real quick."

    "How are you going to deactivate it? It's obviously in some Kortac language and Tolstoy never taught us how to read Kortac."

    "Thought maybe I could blow the crap up."

    "Oh cool."

    animebabe walked up to the shaft, "Want some company?"

    Gray Zombie shrugged, "Sure, why not."

    BuckFifty checked his laser bazooka, "Are you sure that it's safe in these hallways?"

    "Don't worry," DanZero explained, "seems that the Kortac aren't' expecting any intruders, while we were crawling through the system, they all seemed to be in different rooms, but not a lot in the hallways."

    "Ok, then let's go."

Ventilation Shaft

   Animebabe and The Gray Zombie made their way through the ventilation shaft, heading towards the command center, with Gray Zombie in the lead, since he was the one who knew where the command center was.

    "Listen," animebabe said, "Since I'm following you, I have to know, did you have any spicy food, like Mexican, for lunch?"

    Gray Zombie stopped and turned towards her, "No, why?"

    "Just wondering, I don't want any unexpected surprises, if you know what I mean."

    Gray Zombie continued crawling, "We are in the headquarters of the bad guys, we could get killed if we're caught, and you're worried about farts."

    "So, how bad are your farts?"

    "One day, I had one so bad, I had to leave the room."

    "From my perspective, that's not a very comforting thought."

Kortac Hallway

   Buck, Rizzz, and Dan snuck through the hallways, hoping not to get caught. Well, Buck was hoping he'd get to shoot a few Kortac. There were a few nooks and crannies to sneak into everytime that they thought a Kortac was coming.

    "Why didn't we take a chance in the ventilation shaft?" asked Rizzz   

    "Why didn't we just ignore the invitation and stay home?" asked Buck

    "Why didn't I go to the bathroom before Gray and I made our way down here?" thought Dan

    A door came open and the three hid. All three recognized the human coming out. He was followed by a Kortac guard.

    "Bring the Inquisitor," the human told the guard "I'm tired of playing with this human. If she doesn't talk after he 'persuades' her, have her executed."

    The Kortac did a salute of sorts, "As you command, Martac."

    The two walked away. The three Cappers came out of hiding.

    "Ok," Dan said, "let's save her."

    "Then what?" asked Rizzz

    "Kill some Kortac" replied BuckFifty

    "That's easy for you to say, but we don't know how many there are."

    "Yea, well we gotta create a ruckus so Gray and anime can take care of that sumbitchinass scrambler."      

    Dan walked to the door, "Hey, can we hurry before that Inquisitor guy gets here?"

    All three got their weapons ready, DanZero pushed the button that opened the door......

Capper Central

   Tolstoy paced back and forth. He worried about what was happening. Without thinking, he let six people walk into a death trap. He knew that it was important that the Kortac be stopped from their conquest, but he should of waited until more Cappers were brought on board, he knew that the more Cappers there were, the safer everyone would be.

    "Sir," the Computer said, "I'm sure that everything is going to be alright. All the Capper's are tough. And they are also survivors, I'm certain that they will be back here soon."

    "I should of waited before sending them off like this. All communication has been cut off. How many Kortac are there already?"

    "According to the last scan, 250. The satellite I was using is no longer over the target. I had to place it back where it was before ESPN realized what caused the interference to their transmission. There is another satellite that I'm getting shortly, this one is owned by USA, who also own Sci Fi."

    "Let me know as soon as the satellite is in place. I hope they are alright."

    "So do I, sir."

Kortac Interrogation Room

   MedusaD jumped under the table the moment she saw BuckFifty, DanZero, and Rizzz open the door and fire at the Kortac guards in the room. It was a quick fight, the three won, but the alarm rang, meaning that more Kortac were on their way. She got up and walked over to her saviors.

    "So, what's the plan?" she asked

    DanZero shrugged

    "What?!?! You came here without a plan?"

    "We're just winging it. Zombie might have a plan."

    "Yea and where is he?"

    Before anyone could answer, the sound of Kortac footsteps were heard. DanZero handed Medusa her laser rifle.

    "All right," BuckFifty said, raising his Laser Bazooka, "It's playtime."

Kortac Command Center

   All the Kortac left their posts and ran out of the command center. Once the room was empty, a vent popped out of the wall, and Gray Zombie and animebabe crawled out.

    "Looks like the guys drew the Kortac attention." said animebabe

    "Either that, or that's one screwed up lunch bell." The Gray Zombie said, looking over the room

    "So, any idea which one of these activates the scrambler device?"   

    "Not a frippin' clue, so we blow the crap up."

    They were startled by a third voice, "Oh, really now?"

    They both turned to the direction of the voice and saw the human again. He was holding a Kortac Blaster.

    "It's Mr. Green." anime told Zombie

    The Gray Zombie shook his head, "The body's Mr. Green, but the mind belongs to Martac, Supreme Commander of the Kortac Invasion Force."

    Mr. Green/Martac smiled, "Ahhhhhh, you heard of me? How?"

    Gray Zombie shrugged, "Little gray alien posing as a cab driver."

    Martac looked at him quizzically, "I see. And who might you be? I don't recall you in the detention area. There's something about your eyes, I don't like"

    "I am he who has walked between the light and the dark. I am he who holds the Key of Cosmic. I am he who knows the deepest darkest secrets of The One. I am....The Gray Zombie."

    "Interesting titles, anything else, or is that it?"

    "No, I am also a distant cousin to Manos, The Hands of Fate, known as Foot To The Groin."

    Martac just looked at The Gray Zombie, "Foot to the...."

   Before he could finish, The Gray Zombie ran up to Martac, and brought his foot to Martac's groin area. Martac went down in pain, while at the same time wondered how the human race survived all these centuries being so unprotected in areas.

    The Gray Zombie and animebabe both started firing at the consoles in the command center. With any luck they would deactivate the scrambler.

Interrogation Room.....with lots of holes from blasters and lasers

   The rest of the Cappers, were holding their own, although more Kortac kept coming. Fortunately, for BuckFifty's love of big guns, he was able to kill more Kortac with one shot.

    "Yea, sum bitch, take this." he said

    "This is getting us nowhere fast." Rizzz said, "Why did we listen to Gray Zombie in the first place? We're going to get ourselves killed."

    There was a beep from their communicators, then The Gray Zombie's voice was heard, "Well if you push the teleporter button, you won't get killed."

    And with that, BuckFifty, DanZero, MedusaD, and Rizzz teleported out of the room. The Kortac, the live ones, not the dead ones, just stood there.

    "I don't think Martac is going to like this." one Kortac finally said.

Kortac Command Center

   Gray Zombie and animebabe looked over their handiwork. All Kortac computers were in flames. A huge map that hung on the wall, had a huge hole in it. All in all, a complete mess.

    "So," animebabe said, "what do you do on a second date?"

    "Get commode hugging drunk and see if we wake up in each other's underwear." Gray Zombie said.

    Tolstoy's voice came over the communicator, "Gray, anime, the others are here. Hurry up and get back to base."

    "Ok, on our way."

    Before they pushed the teleporter button, Martac stood in front of them. He was extremely aggravated, but considering that they had just destroyed his headquarters, they couldn't really blame him.

    "Who.....are.....you?" he finally managed to ask

    Gray Zombie smiled, "We're the Cappers."

    And with that the two Cappers pushed the teleporter button and were gone. Martac merely screamed in his native tongue that he would have his revenge. But the two were already gone, and if they were still there, neither one would of really gave a rat's ass what he had to say. Such was the life of being a Capper.

Capper Central, two days later

   "You're kidding?" animebabe asked, "The entire Kortac base is not there under the Sci Fi building?"

    Rizzz shook his head, "This isn't good is it? I mean they are still on Earth somewhere. In some secret base that would take us forever to find."

    MedusaD looked at Buck then said, "Sum bitch."

    "I'm with you, sister." Buck said

    "So, what do we do now?" asked DanZero

    Tolstoy looked at the Cappers, "You can go home, if you want. You are under no obligation to stay."

    Rizzz raised his hand, "With all due respect, I think we're going to continue doing what we promised you. And that is kick some Kortac ass."

    "Or in Gray's case, some Kortac groin." anime added

    "You still want to fight?" Tolstoy asked, "It could get dangerous."

    "And?" asked Medusa

    DanZero nodded, "We're going to fight. We're going to get more Cappers involved, but we're going to fight. No damn Kortac is going to enslave my home. Not while I'm around. Matter of fact, I think I'll have the Computer help me in making a Decapitator."

    Gray Zombie looked up from the comic book he was reading, then turned towards the computer, "I'll tell you what a Decapitator is later, Hobbes."

    "Thank you, sir." the computer replied

    Tolstoy looked at Gray Zombie, "Hobbes?" Then took a few seconds to think about the name for a bit, "I like it. Seems fitting."

    "Yea," Gray Zombie said, "He sounds like a Hobbes anyway. Besides, I liked Calvin and Hobbes"

    "Yep, I like it too." BuckFifty said

    Tolstoy smiled, this was a most unusual team that he was recruiting, but they were the only hope this dimension had.

    "Very well, then." He said, "who's the next Capper to get recruited?"

    All the Cappers gathered around Hobbes, checking out the gallery.

    "Hey," Hobbes said, perusing the gallery, "Gray's underwear."
