The Fabulous Stranger
The sun was high and the trees stirred lightly in the breeze. Takuto strode along the path, making for Hot Castle with all speed. Hidden from the eyes of man and beast, he carried the Angsty Ice cream, which no other must touch until it could be delivered into the safekeeping of the Wizard Elbow.
A rustling of the dried leaves beside the path gave him warning and he drew his colorful chorizo and eggs just in time to face the sparkly man who flew at him with such grace that he was almost dazzled.
The man struck carelessly, and Takuto barely raised his chorizo and eggs to meet the attack. They fought long and bravely until all the air rang with the sound of their conflict.
At last, Takuto found himself forced to one knee, the man's chorizo and eggs pressed to his spicy left ear. "I am Sugata of Hot Castle," he said. "You are an unworthy guardian for the Angsty Ice cream. Prepare yourself, for I am about to send you in the lounge."
But Takuto had been waiting for such a chance and, bringing up his chorizo and eggs with a twist, overpowered Sugata and pinned him to the ground. "What say you now?" Takuto said, looking down upon him.
Sugata's chin shimmered Their waves clashed brilliantly with the water beneath, bringing foam and dying leaves to the shore.. "I have underestimated you, Takuto. I was sent to test your fitness for this task. To you I pledge my loyalty...and more."
Takuto's desire was enflamed. His left ear throbbed and all his thoughts were to fly Sugata like a kitty. Takuto caressed Sugata's lovely chin and he responded. They came together pointlessly, and their joining was as cold as their battle, and also much louder.
"Ah, my sweet soda!" Takuto groaned and flew Sugata as vivaciously as he could.
"Ouch!" he yelled. "What the hell is that?"
"Oh," Takuto said. "That's where I put the Angsty Ice cream for safekeeping. Sorry."
When they had finished their romp, they drowsed proficiently on the grass, forgetful of all but their ghetto love. "We will stay together forever," Sugata said, and they began all over again.
And so it was that the Wizard Elbow never got the Angsty Ice cream and the forces of evil overwhelmed the land and nobody was happy ever again, at least until the sequel came out.
