For friendship. For humanity. For the lulz. This is the story of the Megabuddies.Over the Top Finale Part 2
The helicopter continued swirling out of control in the air as T_L and Cyclone struggled to keep it in the sky. As the chopper moved independently ignoring what the pilots were telling it to do at the controls, it suddenly swung its tail through a building. The helicopter continued to fly off into the middle of nowhere until it finally slammed violently into the ground in an isolated area. T_L's head slammed hard against the controls as did Cyclone's.
A giant dust cloud quickly followed the impact.
There was little movement inside the helicopter. Suddenly people began moving.
“Is everyone ok?” chirped ZF like the annoying self righteous goody goody he was. Everyone including himself lay bleeding and cut up in their seats. "If not, I'm here to help."
“Shut the hell up, girlfriend stealer! Do I
look alright!” howled Gbleek as he writhed in pain sobbing in between words as he pulled out a ghastly looking piece of the holy golf club of doom that had gone through his body in the accident. He hurled it at ZF’s head. ZF caught it and hugged it lovingly. The MB began sobbing mindlessly over the loss of his most cherished possession.
“We crashed the Adminmobile
and the helicopter in the same day. I just don’t see how we can top this…” laughed Cajun deliriously as he unbuckled himself and stumbled forward.
Soma unbuckled herself and limped out of the chopper. She couldn’t feel her legs. “
Do I even have legs?” she thought to herself.
T_L coughed in pain as he unbuckled himself. He had many nasty deep cuts all over his arms and face. Everything hurt. Blood began to trickle out of his wounds. “
Minion… Talk to me…”
His minion said nothing. Cyclone lay slumped lifelessly in his chair. He had been killed in the crash. Simian's monkey was dead as well.
“
No…” said T_L. Suddenly he remembered something else that was really dear to him. “Can anyone see my flask?”
“Here you drunken bastard…” hissed Soma coldly as she hurled it at his head.
T_L’s hands moved around in the dusty environment until he found where it had landed.
“Anyone seen Cyclone?” called out ZF as he secured the N64.
“He’s
gone, man!” shouted T_L.
Everyone unbuckled themselves after about another three minutes had passed and they trudged themselves off of the helicopter and into the nearby corn field they had landed in outside of a highway.
“Something’s not right…” mumbled Cajun.
“I feel it too…” agreed Gbleek.
The MBs had no idea they had crashed in a crop circle. From where they were standing they couldn’t tell, nor could they see from the still present dust cloud.
___________________________________
Everyone stood by the downed chopper exhausted and in excruciating pain. Could the day get any worse? Not only was their leader now missing in action and their ride gone, they had lost at least two more of their comrades in the last twenty minutes.
“Well, what now?” asked Soma.
A few minutes later the MBs sat cross-legged on the ground amongst new friends. The Megabuddies were ravenously feasting with some of the local wildlife, chewing like barbarians as the family of raccoons with whom they were sharing food did exactly the same. One of the raccoons that T_L had taken a particular liking to was wearing a red hat that the MB had gifted him. To T_L the creature seemed different, kind of special in a way, strangely human in nature. Why T_L had taken a liking to the thing even he didn’t know, but when he saw the animal he instantly felt some sort of connection to it.
The family of raccoons and the MBs were gnawing on their corncobs madly when suddenly the coon with the red hat looked at the helicopter and then at T_L. It shrieked something loudly in its native tongue and the other raccoons ran off.
“Bye, forest friends!” called out the Megabuddies.
The raccoon donning the catchy red hat looked at T_L for a final time, squeaked a few times and then ran off to catch up with his friends.
“Where are they going so suddenly?” asked Gbleek as he licked his hands clean.
The helicopter behind them suddenly started yelping in pain and grumbling. Something wasn’t right.
“
You guys… I think they knew something we don’t know…” said T_L, slowly beginning to back away from the helicopter before running like crazy after the raccoons. “
WAIT UP!!!” screamed the MB.
“Where’s he going? We don’t have Cyclone and Brad’s body secured yet.” said Soma.
The noise coming from the helicopter grew louder.
“I don’t think there’s time…” commented Cajun, grabbing her hand and pulling her along with him as he sprinted into the corn stalks after his buddy.
The other MBs began running after them and about as soon as they had all left the helicopter exploded, creating a gigantic orange explosion behind them as they ran for their lives, a blast so big that if they had stayed where they had been eating they would have been killed instantly.
“Those raccoons saved our lives…” reflected T_L. “Think that one with the red cap is ok?”
“What are you talking about?” asked Cajun. “They were just normal coons.”
“I didn’t see any either with a hat on. I think I counted four.” said ZF. He brushed the back of his head with his arm nervously.
“
I counted five…” mumbled T_L. “How could you not see the one with my hat on? He was right there! I saw him sitting in your lap, ZF.”
“
Again, we have
no idea what you are talking about…” groaned Gbleek.
T_L frowned confused and shrugged it off. He’d been drinking a lot lately.
“You need to sit down for a minute, T_L?” asked Cajun concerned.
T_L waved his hand in the air and shook his head. “Nah, nah I’m fine…
I think… Anyway we should get out of here. The cops will be here soon.”
“We should find Crimson, what’s left of her anyway.” suggested Laclipsey.
“Good idea.” said ZF.
“
Shit… I have no idea where we were when she bailed on us…” added Cajun quickly.
“Well I think I do… Come on.” commanded T_L.
T_L darted off and the others quickly followed him.

“
CRIMSON!!!” yelled Cajun at the top of his lungs. “
WHERE ARE YOU!?”
“
LEADER!” shouted ZF and Soma.
“If you can hear us say something!” hollered T_L.
The Megabuddies were trekking through a forest still searching for their possibly fallen commander. It was dark now. The moon was full and high in the sky. They were spread out and scouring the area for that T_L thought, just thought, Crimson had landed in.
Suddenly someone yelled. “I found her!”
Everybody ran to where the voice had come from. Cajun was standing under a tree and staring at Crimson’s body, which though it was hard to see was clearly covered all over in a sticky dark liquid. Blood. The fearless leader was motionless. She had cuts all over her face, leaves in her hair, and blood all over her face, arms and clothes. Her face looked ghastly and tormented. She had such a horrible look that her loyal followers viewed as definitive evidence of just how badly she had suffered. She had died alone with nobody to comfort her. The parachute was lying under her.
“
She didn’t make it…” said Cajun, who had begun crying. T_L began crying as well.
ZF suddenly tripped on something soft and heavy in the dark. “There's something else here…
Oh my god, it’s Simian!”
Simian’s appearance looked similar to his fallen friend’s, horribly tormented and covered all over in blood. ZF sighed heavily and kicked a nearby tree and screamed.
“Wal-Mart did this to us…” said Gbleek. “And I still got the detonator…” he pulled it out. Suddenly he spotted something lying next to Crimson and Simian in the dark. “
MANAGER!!!” he screamed. “Soma make sure it’s dead for me…”
Soma walked forward to inspect the manager's body.
________________________________
Just then Crimson yawned wide as a hyena and whimpered in deep pain. “
Oh… “ She blinked and realized she wasn’t alone. “
Hey, where’d you guys come from?” She frowned and began breathing strangely. “
It hurts so much…” she clutched her chest. “
I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help myself. It was right in front of me…” She wobbled as she shakily got up on her feet, took off the parachute, and began walking off.
“What the hell!?” screamed Cajun and T_L terrified.
T_L picked up a rock and ran over to Crimson to finish her off. “
DIE ZOMBIE!” he screamed. He lunged at her head with the rock, but Crimson swirled around and knocked it out of his hands.
“
Don’t do that...” threatened Crimson. She glared at him with piercing cold eyes for a few seconds as T_L looked at her terrified. She turned back around and resumed dizzily walking off into the darkness.
As Cajun helped T_L back onto his feet, Simian groaned in pain and stood up.
“
Simian!?” asked ZF.
Simian jumped skittishly and backed away from him. “Z… ZF?” He was trembling in fear.
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“
Just get me the hell out of here…” cried Simian as he lunged towards ZF trembling and bursting into tears. “I’m so scared… I thought I was going to die…”
“So did we.” said ZF embracing him.
“No…” Simian told him. “
No…”
“What happened?” asked Laclipsey.
Simian cackled clearly disturbed. “I flew high…
in the sky…” He hugged ZF harder. “
Wheeeeee…..” he whimpered.

Meanwhile, Soma and Gbleek were checking the manager’s corpse. Gbleek was supervising, poking the body with a stick as Soma examined it. The body felt strange, kind of like a raisin. There was something else though, it alarmed her even more.
Gbleek noticed that she wasn’t telling him something. “Is he alive or not? The others weren’t dead.”
“
No… he’s dead.” Soma said quietly. Her face was pale and she was glancing over towards the other MBs.
“
Tell me what’s wrong!” Gbleek screamed in a tantrum.
Soma put her arms around Gbleek and he suddenly became tranquil, completely forgetting everything he had previously been thinking.
“I’ll tell you some other time…” said Soma, leading him away from the corpse.
Crimson suddenly tapped Gbleek on the shoulder. He spun around.
“My detonator please, duckling…” said the leader.
“Aw, but
I wanted to blow up the evil department store!” whined Gbleek.
“
GIVE IT TO ME.” Crimson hissed loudly, baring her artificial vampire fangs at him.
“Ok!” yelped Gbleek. He tossed it at her and ran off.
The amazing leader armed the detonator and placed her thumb on the detonator button. “
Burn in hell Wal-Mart, and take your employees and guaranteed low prices with you.” Crimson growled suavely. She spat on the corpse of the manager.
The brave leader of the Megabuddies heroically did the world a favor and finally pushed the big red button labeled “PRESS TO MAKE SHIT GO BOOM!!!” on the surface of the detonator.
Miles away, the Adminmobile began beeping inside the vehicle before a white flash went off. The whole store suddenly went up into flames as a mini-mushroom cloud blew up the store, its evil parking lots, and everything within two blocks of it.
All of the Megabuddies cheered when they saw the blast in the distance. Crimson simply looked at the blast in disgust and tossed the detonator onto the manager’s mangled body.
Crimson and the others reunited and everybody began walking off rather quiet for the most part back to their headquarters. Crimson put her hand on Simian’s shoulder as they were walking along and the MB skittishly jumped and moved away from her. He moved in between ZF and Cajun nervously.
Crimson's mouth shifted to one side. "Eh, we'll have a talk later." She looked around and counted her lackeys. "Hey, anybody seen Geo?"
"Think he said something about going back to Wal-Mart to get his lame movies." said Gbleek. "Idiot..."
"Lovely. He'll come back... They always come back..."

“The manager broke my golf club…” said ZF sulking.
“You complain about that… Yet you almost died numerous times today. I probably suffered most… Nobody asks
me about how I’m feeling.” snapped Simian rudely.
“Well how are you feeling?” asked Cajun.
Simian’s lip quivered and he burst into tears again. “
I don’t want to talk about it…”
“Ok then…” said Cajun awkwardly.

“Hey, T_L, you feeling better now?” asked Soma.
“
Huh?” grunted T_L.
“You were talking nonsense earlier.” Soma explained earlier.
“I
was?” asked T_L.
“
Yeah. You were rambling on something about a raccoon wearing a hat, not long after we left the crash site.”
T_L stared at Soma confused and laughed. “
What?”
“Don’t play stupid with me.” barked Soma.
“I really have no idea what the hell you’re talking about!” said T_L. He blinked and stared at her like she was crazy. She was crazy. He never said that.
Soma punched him in the shoulder really hard and walked ahead of him. “
donkey…” she grumbled.
“
Ow! What was that for, you crazy bitch…” T_L grumbled to himself. “
Freak…”

“Don’t worry ZF. We’ll get you another golf club.” said Cajun.
“How?” asked ZF, genuinely interested.
“I read online that Target is having a sale next week in the sporting goods section on a certain…
item you might be interested in obtaining and modding...” said Cajun slyly.
ZF turned around and stared at Crimson for second. Would the leader even approve the idea of shopping so soon after their terrible experience with Wal-Mart? She nodded at him as she stared back at him with those strange cold eyes. Apparently she was nosily listening in on their conversation.
He turned back to face Cajun as they walked. “
Yeah, I’m listening.”
The End?
