Episode 22
 

 
   

(The heroes stand atop a bluff.)

Prince Riona:
Today, we shall retake our home! And our right to wear ragingly homosexual jeri-curl sideburns!

(static pan, soldiers screaming, Still shots of people charging, camera shakes, fog o' war around the edges)

(rocks smack into castle walls, still shots, lens flares, action lines, adobe adobe adobe!)

Garrack:
(carrying a battering ram) Out of the way, move aside! Move it!

Soldier:
We're at the front of the crowd, dumbass.

(doors break after 2 taps. Soldiers pour in. Adooooobe!)

Prince Riona:
Now we attack their main force!

(Soldiers grunt, try to push their swords at each other. Nobody moves)

Spark:
Our objective is the city center! Move!

Garrack:
Right sir! (Garrack stops pushing and whacks the enemy over the head with the sharp part of his ax, miraculously not splitting him in two and knocking him down.)

(Heroes run, Spark leaps. In order to save expenses, cut to…)

Mansion on the hill. Priest Groder stands on a balcony

Groder:
(Skeletor voice) I don't believe it!

Ashram:
What is it?

Groder:
The free army izz kicking ass and taking names. They'vve penetrated the zity gatezzz!

Pirotess:
(girly b.s.)

Ashram:
Defend the city center at all costs. If Rudo, our main artery into Lodoss, falls, then dot dot dot.

(More fighting, Parn whacks someone, Deedlit starts kicking ass, which is when you know things are getting really pathetic. Gratuitious upskirt shot)

(Goddamn Mar kicks someone, acts like he accomplished something. Various warriors forwardstrafe to victory, more running to city center)

Garrick:
Hey Captain, the first ones are mine! (Breaks open door) Come on and show yerselves ya lousy Marmo bastards!

(eyes in the darkness)

Garrick
What the hell is that thing?

Leaf:
It's a troll, idiot. There were like a million of them in the OAV.

(Priest Grievous inflicts GBH on troll with crossbow. Orcs pop out, surround party…)

Ashram:
Groder, you suck. Take our wounded down to the docks. Pirotess, I leave "it" up to you.

(Cut to orcs getting whacked. Parn arrives just in time to miss the battle)

Deedlit:
The attack was a huge success, the Marmo are retreating. Prince Riona is already running around the town square in a pink dress singing "We are family."

Parn:
Spark, Rejoin the main force.

Spark:
What about you?

Parn.
Dot dot dot, baby. Dot dot dot.

Spark (VO):
Neese!

Ehehehehehehhhee…

Wangard:
Mwahahahahahahaha!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It's too late!!! My preparations for the three day prelude to the month-long ceremony of the spell is about to begin!!! Time is up, heroes! Mwahahahahahaha!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

(Parn and Deedlit bust into the mansion)

Parn and Deedlit:
Gasp! It's Pirotess!

Pirotess:
Heh! Bow to my mad forwardstrafing skillz, beeyach!

(commercial break)

(Senseless battle)

(Pirotess strafes left, then right, then left. Close-up of Parn's ear. Parn slashes. Pirotess gasps, scared by this irrational action. Runs through wall, jumps several miles off a balcony to a ship with Ashram below.)

Ashram:
Excellent work, Pirotess, even though I quite frankly have no idea what you did, or what you were supposed to do. Set a course for Marmo!

Narrator:
And so Ashram and his noble friends turn their backs on the defeated city of Rudo.

Mar:
Yay, we did it!

Priest Habb:
Shut up, Mar.

(Habb pushes Mar off a cliff)

Ashram:
(VO) There is only one path left to us. We must abandon this cursed island, and I must become a god. No! I'm a good guy now! Must… control… egomaniacal… urges! Dot dot dot.

Priest Habb:
No Mar, you were wrong about Ashram. He is a true vision, and a leader. Much like Steve Jobs.

Mar:
I guess you're right.

(Habb kicks Mar back off the cliff)

Narrator:
With Ashram gone, the remaining Marmo soldiers gave up and agreed to become Prince Riona's sex slaves. After a long trek, the knights of Flaim arrive.

Kashue:
How's it hanging?

Prince Riona:
You suck, Kashue.

Kashue:
Good news! I just signed a treaty with blah blah blah geopolitical stuff.

Slayn and Leylia:
And we've just come from some other country, where there's a whole new king and government! We had to leave Cecil behind to help them set it up.

Prince Riona:
No Cecil? Awwwww.

Deedlit:
That means all of Lodoss is now united!

Parn:
Hooray! Let's celebrate this good news, and ignore any blatant foreshadowing this may entail!

Later that evening

Kashue:
What? The two keys and the doorway are now in Wagnard's hands? Spark, you suck. I don't know why I sent a knight in training out on a mission that would decide the fate of all of Lodoss.

Parn:
That IS a pretty dumb idea, now that I think about it…

Kashue:
Silence! We should now wait to attack Marmo, as Ashram has taken most of the ships.

Spark:
Ok. Except that that would mean THE END OF THE WORLD, you fucking dumbass.

Kashue:
Oh yeah.

Spark:
Let me take the usual band of heroes to Marmo! I swear to you, my leige, that Wagnard is no match for Japanese fiction stereotypes! (Spark milks the cow)

Parn:
I'll go with you! You'll need my optic laser beams to defeat Wagnard!

 

(Cut to Wagnard's hall)

Wagnard:
hehehehheh, Karla. I've been meaning to ask you, where'd you get that hot new female body? Rowrrrr.

Karla:
This isn't new, it's just Woodchuck with a slight sex change.

Wagnard:
Waugh. Ewwww.

Karla:
But I have more important things to ask you. If I spout some random nonsense about balance, do you think it would allow me to kick Spark's ass while apparently not worrying about you nuking the island I love back into the stone age?

Wagnard:
Hmm. Yes, yes, I think that would work quite nicely, Grey Witch.

Karla:
Nifty. (Karla disappears)

Wagnard:
heheheheheh. Mwahahahahahahah!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

-cut to Neese's cell

Neese:
What do you want!?!

Wagnard:
Mostly to wipe out everything living on Lodoss for no apparent reason. But for now, it's time for some kinky tentacle sex, baby! Yeah!

Neese:
Gasp! I won't allow you to see me naked!

Wagnard:
Naked? Phht. Who do you think put you in those different clothes? heheheheheh. Mwahahahahahaha!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah!
