Anyway, here's Chapter 1.

Somewhere out in space on some random asteroid…

"Ugh… how long have we been on this blasted asteroid, Lawrence?" whined Nefarious, tossing another piece of rock at a distant spot of light, which, it seemed, had gotten larger since the last time he looked at it.

"I don't know, sir, I didn't know ten minutes ago, I don't know now, and I won't know in the next ten minutes."

"Then just guess!" demanded Nefarious.

"Well, I'd say about two years, give or take."

"TWO YEARS? We could have been ruling a galaxy of robots by now!" and at that, Nefarious went on his daily rant about hating Qwark, Ratchet and all the rest.

Finally finished throwing his fit, Nefarious walked over to Lawrence and smacked him in the back of the head.

"Lawrence!" shouted Nefarious, "Are you positive th-,"

"There is no reason to yell sir, I'm right in front of you," interrupted Lawrence.

"Nevermind that! Are you positive that we are not in range of ANY planet?"

"Quite positive, sir," replied Lawrence. "The only thing we are in range of is that comet over there."

"Dra-, wait, what comet?'

And right on cue, a comet the size of a Tyrranoid drop ship slammed right into Nefarious' back, taking him with it. Nefarious promptly grabbed his butler by the arm in an effort to escape, but he only succeeded in yanking Lawrence along with him.

"LAWWWW"-kkckkkkkchhhhchhhhh-

"But Lance, I can't marry you!'

"But why Janet, Why?'

"Because I already--THUNK—"RREEENCCEEE!"

A meteor had hit Nefarious in the head.

"Oh, I wanted to know how it ended,"

Nefarious paid him no attention. "Why didn't you tell me about this before!"

"Because, sir, you didn't ask," replied Lawrence.

After about two weeks of hurtling through deep space at break-neck speeds, a device on Lawrence's arm began to beep.

"Sir, it appears that we are in range of a planet," he said "I don't know what the name of the planet is, but I can tell that it is a large planet, mostly desert."

"I don't care if it was the hottest planet in the entire galaxy, just get us off this thing!" yelled the doctor, as the ice crystals stuck in his rear were getting rather uncomfortable.

"Very well, sir," sighed Lawrence, as he activated the teleporter.

They vanished in a flash of light, and reappeared on an arid plateau, or

rather, Lawrence appeared on the edge of the plateau, and Nefarious found himself falling down a sheer cliff. It took him a good 3 seconds to realize this.

"Wait, wha? LAWWREENCE!"

"Oh dear, I really need to choose my location more carefully next time."

Finally through screaming, Nefarious found enough sense to dig his claws into the rocky side of the cliff and prevent him self from becoming buried in the sand below.

"What did you do this time, Lawrence?" exclaimed the doctor.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir, but you didn't specify a destination. I thought that you would have learned your lesson the first time. Random teleportation has consequences, sir."

Nefarious pulled himself up to the ledge and surveyed the surrounding area, but he couldn't see anything over the tall sand dunes about a mile out in every direction. The dunes seemed artificial.

"Come on Lawrence," he growled, "let's get a better look at this place. Maybe we'll be able to find out where in the galaxy we are. I can't finish my evil plan if I'm stuck in this desert for the rest of eternity!"

"Which evil plan, sir? The one with that rainbow afro-lizer machine?"

"No."

"The one where you try to bore your enemies to death with elevator music?

"No!"

"The one that you-"

"NO, Lawrence! The one where I rule an entire Galaxy of robots! Now hurry up! The sooner we find out where we are, the sooner I can complete my insidious plot! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Are we going to have to rebuild that Biobliterator again, sir?" asked Lawrence, nearly shuddering at the idea of putting that huge eyesore back together.

"No, Lawrence," he replied, "I have a better idea. Much more subtle, but much, MUCH more satisfying. This time, the squishies will have no idea what is happening to them!"

Well, I'd say that's a nice cliffhanger huh? The next chapter should have more action in it. Anyway, read and reply.
