And the Pointless Stupidity Begins With the Pointy Needleman!

Intro by: Gauntlet (Shadowman)

Story also by Gauntlet (writing about somebody else for a change!)

(The scene opens with the Mechanical Maniacs watching TV.)

Hardman: Feels good to finally have a brain...

Snake: I guess...

Top: Liked you better sans-brain! Less dangerous...

Hard:...You're so mean...

(Hard starts crying.)

Top: Aw, come on...sorry, okay?

(Hard continues crying.)

Hard: (Thought) Heh. They think I'm really crying! Hah-HAH!!

TV News Lady: Unusual things have been happening all week. Inconsistencies are found everywhere in the world and -

(Suddenly, the Red Phone rings! The Mechanical Maniacs rush to answer it in hopes of another gig!)

Top: Yeah? What!? Chaos everywhere!? We're needed? We're getting paid!?!? We're on it!

(Top hangs up the phone and turns to address the Team.)

Top: Alright guys, we gotta -

(Gauntlet is spotted tip-toeing out of the room.)

Gemini: And where do you think YOU'RE going?

Gauntlet: Well...I...y'see...Rats.

Snake: Y'know, I'm sick of all your stupid solo adventures! We should all have solo adventures!

The Other Maniacs: YEAH!

Gauntlet: Ah, that's cool. Go ahead! I was just gonna step out anyway!

Top: Oh, you're not going anywhere!

(The Mechanical Maniacs surround Gauntlet.)

Gauntlet: Wha...? HEY!

(They tie Gauntlet up and throw him in the basement.)

Top: You can come out when all the adventures are over!

(Top slams the door and locks it.)

Gauntlet:...'Kay! I'll just be down here! Chillin' and stuff! Don't you worry about me!

Top: Alright guys, we got lots of problems to clean up, so we gotta split up!

Spark: Right! Solo adventures for all of us!

All: LET'S GO!

(The Maniacs teleport out!)

(Needleman arrives at the local maximum security jail to reassert control!)

Guard: Needleman! Thank God you came! Dr. Wily and Blademan are driving this prison outta control!

Needle: How'd that happen? This is supposed to be a maximum security prison!

Guard: Yeah, well...I guess our track record with Wily really sucks.

Needle: Oh, you think so, eh?! Geez! Just point me in the right direction.

(The guard directs Needleman to the bad guys. Needleman goes to face Wily and Blademan...)

Needle: (To himself) Hm. The internal alarm's going off at the base. Maybe I ought to -

(Needle is struck from behind!)

Needle: OW!

Blademan: Hey loser! Here to try and stop us? Eat my dust! (Transforms into a car and speeds down the corridor.)

(Needleman follows, attacking with Needle Cannon! He chases Blademan around a corner where he finds...)

Needle: A trap. Crap.

(All the prisoners await Needle and attack all at once!)

Blade: (Transformed back.) Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

(Against overwhelming odds, the criminals actually begin to flee the battle.)

Blade: What? Hey, you! Whadya think you're doin!?

Some criminal: He shoots pointy things. Pointy things give me ouch!

Blade: Auuugh!!

Needle: You're next!

Blade: Fine!

(Blade and Needle have an all-out brawl. Blade uses his Blade Launcher and Needle counters until...)

Needle: YAY! I won! I won! Me! Me! Ah-ha-ah-ha! I-I-I-I-I-I-I won!

Blade: Oh shut up.

Needle: I won! Me! I have no hands and I still won!

Blade: Ugggghhhhhh...

Needle: This is the FIRST time I've ever won a big fight!

(Needle starts a victory dance, but then he is attacked again!)

Needle: Who dares interrupt my victory dance!?

Wily: I do! Doctor Wily!

Needle: Grrrrrrrr, Wily!

(Wily is armed to the teeth with a powerful new skull-themed war machine!)

Wily: Yup! And now, I will destroy you!

Needle: Take your best shot!

Wily: I will and - (Wily's phone rings.) Hello?

Shark: Wazzzzaaaaaappppp!?!?

Wily: Eh?

Shark: WWWAAAAAZZZZZUUUUPPPPP!?!!?!?

(Wily hangs up the phone.)

Needle: What was that?

Wily: I have no clue, but I will now -

(Suddenly, there is a flash of light!)

Needle: Who's there?

(A glowing phantom of Geminiman floats before Needle!)

Needle: Gemini!?

Gemini: Needle? Crap. Well, I gotta try this again. Later.

(Gemini disappears in a flash of light!)

Needle: Y-e-a-h...Later. Hey! Was that a crack!?

Wily: Alright, that was pretty strange, but now I will finally destroy you!

Needle: As long as nothing else happens...

(Just then, a huge explosion from elsewhere in the city rocks the jail!)

Wily: Hey! My machine broke down! Oh well, "easy come, easy go", I guess.

Needle: That was easy! I'm still getting paid, I hope...Ain't it time for you to start groveling, Wily?

Wily: Grovel? To you? I think not.

(Needle grabs Wily by the collar.)

Needle: WHAT WAS THAT!?

(Wily starts groveling and Needle is happy.)

Needle: Ah, and the day is saved!

Guard: Yeah, except for one thing...

Needle: Oh?

Guard: ALL OF THE PRISONERS ESCAPED!!!

Needle: They did?

Guard: Oh yeah.

Needle: Well, that's your job. I'll take that reward now.

...

Needle: I will take that reward NOW.

(The guard reluctantly hands over a cheque.)

Needle: Now to buy me a beer! Ah, the hero life is a great life!

(So Needleman beat Blademan and Wily! What of the others? Read on...)
