Fanboy And Chum Chum: The Phantom Mage

(A/N: Third up today. This chapter is very short. Just a forewarning, this and the next will be almost direct parodies of Star Wars scenes. Anyone who's watched them recently should catch them. I'm not big on Star Wars personally, but it was certainly entertaining. Nineteen and never watched any of them until this year. Sad, really, that a cartoon character got me interested in it. Yes, I mean Janitor Poopatine.)

Attack Of The Cleanser's: Pursuit

Lenny and Mr. Mufflin ran through the passage and after the figure that was disappearing around a corner. "Wow he's fast," Mufflin remarked.

"We can catch him master," Lenny replied, pulling out a gun shaped object. Mufflin raised a curious eyebrow. Lenny grinned innocently and nervously chuckled, saying, "Uh, staple gun."

"Nice," Mufflin complimented. "My turn." With that he pulled out a glowing meter stick and waved it around in the air.

"Wow, awesome!" Lenny exclaimed.

"Always bring extras," Mufflin said. With that he handed him another one.

Lenny grinned and tossed Mufflin a second staple gun, saying, "Ditto." They raced around a corner and slid to a stop with gasps. There in front of them spread out an underground amusement park! "Whoa," Lenny said. "How come I've never heard of this place?"

"Because it's a secret rave location," Mufflin said, realization coming to his eyes. Lenny gasped and looked ahead again. "There!" Mufflin exclaimed, pointing towards a futuristic looking ride. The carts looked like futuristic cars flying around, and they appeared to zip along lines all around the park. There, getting into one of them, was their target!

"Come on!" Lenny exclaimed, racing ahead with Mufflin following. The two leapt into one of the cars and Mufflin shot at the controls, starting the ride up. The figure looked back, startled, but then frowned and sat down in the cart she, or he, was in. All at once the ride took off at an alarming pace. Lenny cried out in terror, Mufflin in what Lenny guessed was supposed to be terror but just sounded uninterested and monotonous. Almost like it was faked. He looked at the teacher in shock. Mufflin shrugged.

"There he is!" Mufflin exclaimed.

"Hang on," Lenny replied, pushing faster.

Mufflin gasped in alarm and growled, "I hate flying."

"Because you're not very good," Lenny teased.

"I'll have you know I'm a fine pilot. I just prefer the ground," Mufflin answered in defense. Lenny tore around a car and Mufflin clung to the dash board yelling, "Leonard, slow down! You're going to get us killed!"

"Calm down Master Mufflin, I know what I'm doing. I think," Lenny assured.

"We're losing him!" Mufflin exclaimed. Lenny suddenly turned sharply away. "What are you doing? We're going the other way now!"

"It's a shortcut, I think," Lenny answered.

"Think?" Mufflin shot. Lenny cringed then nervously grinned. Mufflin sighed. He supposed he had no choice but to trust his apprentice now.

The two pulled to a stop and looked around. "Uh…" Lenny began.

"Oh great, he's gone. We've lost him," Mufflin complained. "Some shortcut."

"Be right back," Lenny said. All at once he leapt over the edge.

Mufflin blinked blankly then sighed, saying, "I hate when he does that." He supposed he would have to go after him now. He grabbed the controls and made the car dive after Lenny.

Lenny landed on top of the car the figure was in, smirking victoriously. And people thought he had no skill. Well, they were right. This was just pure luck he'd landed on this car. He hadn't honestly expected that, when he saw it about to pass beneath, he would actually land on it. He thought with his luck he'd miss. At least lady luck was on his side today. He aimed at the window shield and shot the pricing gun. The figure inside cried out in alarm and veered as the window cracked. Lenny cried out in alarm as he fell from it!

He grabbed onto the window but the person struck his hand. He cried out in pain and nearly let go. Grabbing Mufflin's ruler saber, though, he stabbed at the figure. The figure cried out in pain as the ruler's side cut him, and the car suddenly lurched down. Lenny scrambled onto the roof and seconds later the vehicle crash landed on the ground! Lenny leapt off as it slid across the floor. "Score!" he cried as it struck a pile of crates.

"Lenny!" Mufflin called. He glanced back and saw Mr. Mufflin coming down in the car. He leapt out and the two ran towards the wreckage. Suddenly the figure leapt out, though, and ran. "After him!" Mufflin ordered. The two raced on.

"He's going into that flashy building!" Lenny exclaimed.

Reaching it he went to open the door, but right then Mufflin put a restraining hand on his arm, warning, "Wait. Something's not right. I sense something off."

"Taken a shower lately?" Lenny asked. That earned him a strike up the back of the head. He cried out in pain and frowned. Mufflin scowled at him. "Sorry. Sheesh, can't you take a joke?" Lenny asked, rubbing the spot.

"A shower is the least of your worries," a voice said. The two looked ahead with gasps and paled. There in front of them stood the figure with a group of others behind!

"Oh great," Lenny groaned. "What's the plan?"

"Uh…" Mufflin began, looking around. He saw the shadows of cleaning supplies against the walls and his eyes lit up. "The cleaning supplies! Release the cleansers!"

"Cleansers, to us!" Lenny called quickly. Almost instantly they were backed up by an army of mops, brooms, dusters, cloths, cleaning products, and more. The group in front of them gasped, paling. Mufflin and Lenny grinned victoriously at them. "Attack!" Lenny ordered.

Instantly the cleansers and objects went at their attackers. The group began to fight back. Lenny and Mr. Mufflin leapt in with the ruler sabres and staple guns at the ready. The two danced in and out slashing with the rulers and shooting with the 'guns' at the enemy. Soon enough the whole group lay beaten at their feet. "Well, that was easy," Mr. Mufflin remarked.

"Of course it was. You have no faith in me," Lenny complained.

"Oh let's not go there now. I have plenty of faith in you. If I didn't I would have thrown you to the dogs long ago," Mufflin assured.

"Gee, isn't that nice of you?" Lenny sarcastically asked as the two walked away from the beaten group, after apprehending them. Mufflin chuckled and ruffled the boy's hair. Lenny grinned, nudging him playfully. The two high fived.

"Now to distract any other attackers so Russ and the kids can get out," Mufflin stated in all seriousness.

"We've got it covered," Lenny assured. Mufflin smirked, amused. This was way out of character for the nerdy assistant manager of Frosty Mart. This little voyage was bringing out a side of him Mufflin never knew existed. He hoped, though, that it didn't get to his head.
