A/N: The chapter prior to this one wasn't tortur-ish, and neither is this. Ah well. Skip it if you want. Whatever.
Victim 4 (not really): Planetoid Q
"Omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh THIS IS SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!"
"What, you telling me you've never been in outer space before?" Sprx raised a eyebrow.
Cedric shook his head, without taking his eyes from the Super Robot's viewing screen. "This. Is so. Cool!"
"Weirdo." Sprx muttered.
Gibson banged his fist against the main computer in frustration. "Q's supposed to be around here somewhere!" Well, last time the Monkey Team saw Q he was floating away in who knows what direction. So I predict that it'll take them weeks at the very least to track-
"Yo Q! My monkey man!"
-Okay, never mind.
Indeed it was Q, a giant mass of rock floating in space, oddly enough shaped as a robot monkey's head.
"Wow." Cedric's mouth was like a hole in a donut. "This job, ROCKS!"
"Okay Cedric, I'm supposed to take you out, get a few sentences, then we're going straight back. Kay?" Chiro lectured. "But first I have to go through alll the safety measures with you. Now this is-"
"Yah, whatever. Hey, what happens if the planetoid can't hear me?"
"As I was saying, this thing here-"
"Do I get to wear a spacesuit?"
"This thing keeps you alive!"
"Hey, are we landing on him?"
Chiro groaned. "Just put on the suit and get outta here."
"Alright! I'm going in outer space, I'm going in outer space..." Cedric sang.
A short while later, Chiro, Cedric and a cameraman were standing on the spike on Q's robot monkey head. And Cedric was overjoyed.
"It's one small pace for a man, one giant jump- Wait, I forgot what that other guy said when he landed on Ranger 7. Aw man. Oh well. What?! Is that camera rolling?! Holy cow, hello folks, I'm Cedric Angriff, here on Planetoid Q! I'm sure you all remember, him, he scared the pee out of everyone in the city. Q! What is it like to know that you're about to crash into an inhabited planet, possibly shattering you into a few chunks which will then scatter off into space, and knowing it was all because some idiot told you to?!"
"Don't mention that to me..." the mass of rock growled. "Chiro! I told you not to remind me of that for at least another year! It's embarrassing!"
"He had a tough childhood." Chiro whispered.
"Sweet! Inside information!" Despite the frantic gestures and mouthings of 'No! Don't mention his childhood!' from Chiro, Cedric plouged on. "Planetoid Q, can you describe your early life?!"
It was around this time that Q noticed an unfamiliar person on him and another human with a camera. "What the? This is being filmed?! No way! Hey Chiro, is the left side of my face okay? I went through an asteroid belt two weeks ago and the rock over there's a bit slack."
"Just hurry up and get the stupid questions done." Chiro retired to sitting cross-legged on his planetoid, picking at some loose jagged bits in the formation of the rock.
"So Q, about life as a planetoid kid?" Cedric leaned forwards eagerly.
"It was tough, my mom embarrassed me a lot at school. All the kids teased me about it. It was really hard, you don't know what it's like when your mother shows up at every school function! Even our farewell night for the students leaving the school to secondary! She was always there! Like she's just there man, it's horrible! It's just horrible dude. SHE'S JUST THERE!" If Q could have darted his eyes around like a mentally ill person, he would have.
Cedric nodded. "Didn't you go to see the school psychologist?"
"Mom was the principal!!! She fired the psychologist two years after I started school!" Q shrieked.
Cedric started. "Good grief! Harsh, Q, harsh!"
"I dropped out of high school after three years." Q mumbled sadly.
"Because of your mum?"
"Nah, she was a primary school principal. Twas the kids in high school. They bullied me after every lunch. Beat me up till half of my planetoid face was a surreal painting. After a while I just did what they said to avoid getting beat up. Most of the time I ended up humiliated or injured. But I did it anyway."
"So that's why you obeyed Skeleton King!" Cedric yelled. "Q, you need serious help. I know a self-help group downtown Shuggazoom..."
Chiro's head looked up. "That 'Learn to Love Yourself' place? Nah, a friend of mine recommended a good psychiatrist in the next galaxy on the left. You should go there Q. Just wait till we get off first!"
It was either the sleek-looking space craft that sped by Planetoid Q at that time, or it was Q which had made a start on the journey to the next galaxy on the left, that caused Chiro, Cedric and the cameraman to plummet violently off Q and into empty space.
"Stupid space driver!" Chiro yelled. "There's a planetoid here!"
"A very pitiful planetoid. I can see the headlines now... 'School Bullies Don't Aim For Just You, Kids'. Nah, too weird-sounding... Hey, are we gonna just float here in space until we run out of essential oxygen and die?"
Chiro glanced at the oxygen levels. They had been spending too much time outside of the safety of the Super Robot. "Oh monkey doodle."
"Cool! I'm gonna die in space, I'm gonna die in space..."
Then Q swallowed them.
And space travel safetly is no laughing matter. Neither is school bullies. One day you will be drifting in space, and then this mean guy with a skull for a head will ask you to collide with a planet. Okay, maybe not.
Now that chapter was boring and pointless! Scapperton's next, and I will actually torture him! Promise!
