I haven't written Calvin and Hobbes for some time, so forgive me if I suck.
The courageous Spaceman Spiff, Conqueror of the Cosmos, has been apprehended by the nefarious Paladin of the alien god, Nolij, and is being taken his temple for sacrifice. Actually… No.
You see, Calvin was trying to escape from school again, and he was caught by one of the school's volunteer Peacekeepers, Adrias. Now let me tell you something about Adrias so you understand what I mean when I say Calvin was "caught". Adrias is a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo who is solitary, doesn't tell anyone his first name, and who's methods of Peacekeeping are unconventional, if effective. Needless to say, Calvin was being half dragged, owing to the fact that his right leg had gone numb.
Adrias looked down at Calvin and said coldly, "Can you start walking again?" His tone indicated that he couldn't care less. Calvin stared up at his 6' 3" tormentor with a marked arrogance. Icy blue eyes stared back at him. Calvin looked away, and silently conceded that Adrias knew how to look menacing, with cold blue eyes and long, unruly, dark hair, the guy looked like the kind of person who would jump out at you in a dark alley. Adrias kicked Calvin in the chest. Hard. He then said, in a menacing voice, "I asked you a question, Calvin. Answer it."
Calvin thought for a moment, then bit Adrias on the arm, twisted free from his grip and started running. He thought to himself, it won't be long before Tyrant-in-Chief is on me again. His surprise won't last long. Time for desperate measures. Calvin scooped a medium sized rock as he ran by, then spun on the spot and hurled the rock at Adrias. He heard a satisfying thwack, and turned… to find Adrias holding the rock, with a look of shock mingled with fury on his face. In the space of less than one second, Calvin felt amazement that Adrias had caught the rock, disappointment that he would have to go back to school, and finally, overwhelming terror when he saw the expression on Adrias's face. His last thought was, I wish Hobbes was here. He'd be able to get me out of this, and then the rock struck him squarely in the forehead, and everything vanished,
On distant planet Zulrag, Spaceman Spiff, conqueror of the cosmos, stood on the rim of the fiery sacrificial alter of Nolij. Facing him, also on the rim, was Trek, the paladin of Nolij and a traitor to the human race. Two senior members of the clergy from Planet Zogwarg had their Death Ray Blasters trained on him. They looked like humans mixed with beetles, and Spiff knew he would kill them without blinking an eye when the opportunity presented itself. Trek, who held only a Voltran Plasmablade would be a bit more difficult. And not only because of the unnatural abilities granted to him by his dark god, thought Spiff grimly. Taking the life of another human being, even one as vile as the blue-eyed man with the shaved head standing before him. It was Trek who broke the silence. "Well, Spiff," he said with a chuckle, his voice cold as ice, "Your luck finally seems to have run out. If not for my orders to bring you alive, these two would have already killed you," He indicated the Zogwargs, "But as you have come to the Temple of Nolij, that no longer seems necessary."
Trek turns to the altar and spoke in a clear, powerful voice, "Oh mighty Nolij, grant to me the energy of the Nine elements so that I may transfer the energy of your greatest foe into thy kingdom. I call upon water, spirit, earth, plant, fire, light, air, acid, and flesh." As he spoke, the fire within the pit flared to a hellish red, and then an orb, consisting of nine different colors of energy, rose to hover directly above Trek. The Paladin's face broke into an evil grin. "Any last words before you meet Nolij, Spiff?" He taunted. Spiff stared at him defiantly, "Just one," he said, and his ace broke into a grin that rivaled Trek's, "Catch." And he hurled a demise-o-bomb at Trek's head. The Zogwargs hissed and pointed their Blasters at the bomb just as Trek cut it in half with his Plasmablade. There was a deafening explosion of bright purple flames, and the entire room was blown to pieces, along with the Zogwargs, and the orb of elements shot off into the sky. When the debris settled Spiffed sagged to the ground, covered in burns. As he lost consciousness he looked up into Trek's livid face and managed to say, "You just granted your most powerful foes the Nine Elements as a weapon against you. Congratulations." And then everything faded.
What did you think? Specifically, what do you think about the multiple viewpoints between Calvin's parallel identities. Review!
