We walked back into my house in Tundratown. Judy and Nick both decided they liked it better than their own because it was bigger and nicer. Plus it looked more metal on the outside than their own house. We immediately went into the TV room and watched a video of Code Orange performing live in Hartfox (btw they FUCKING RIP live!)
"Wow," Nick said, "wish we can see them play a headline show. Maybe they can play the Whiteout."
The Whiteout is a mid-size venue in Tundratown that often books metal shows.
"That would be so cool," Judy said, "hopefully we won't be stuck seeing them play an opening set at the Sahara Amphitheater."
"Oh no," I said, shuddering as I thought about the city's worst concert venue, "definitely not that place. And definitely since it's been renamed the 'Buckland's Car and Motorcycle Insurance Amphitheater at Sahara Square."
"Yeah," Nick said, "never going back there again. Glad that our bands rarely come there now and choose to play the Zoo2 Arena. Much better for concerts."
"And," Judy said, "they don't oversell."
"Yeah good point," I said, thinking back to when I saw the Megacity Rockfest at that venue and the pit was well oversold.
"Otherwise my cousin Vixy told me that the stage and dressing rooms are now finished in The Foxhole."
"Nice!" I said, "can't wait to see a show there."
"I mean, it'll be the city's smallest venue," Judy said, "and still be big enough for a mosh pit."
"Indeed," I said. The Cupboard in the rainforest District once held 100 but was too narrow for a mosh pit and was not in a good location. Now, it's been moved to a new location and holds about 150.
"Also, Vixy told me that we could all get free passes to shows there!"
"Fuck yeah!" I replied excitedly.
We kept watching more concert videos including Aversions Quokka, Suicide Saiga and The Manezingers (see we have a diverse taste). We also watched some memes, including a video of a weird tree dancing to an unintelligible cover of Paramarmot's "Misery Business".
"So," I then said, "tix for the Ice Nine Quills headline show at Canopy Hall go on sale soon."
"Let's get 'em," Judy said.
"And Badger Omens is also playing. We can go meet both bands and-"
Suddenly, she stopped speaking and looked out the window.
"What the fuck is going on out there?" She asked.
The rest of us then looked out the window too. The sky had suddenly turned dark, even though it was only 3 in the afternoon.
"Uhhh," Nick said, "look."
We saw a large flying vehicle start to hover over the city, bigger than anything I've ever seen.
"Is that the mothership?" I asked.
"I think so," Judy responded.
Suddenly, the bottom of the spaceship opened up, sending down column of light.
"Oh shit," Nick said, "are they about to-"
The spaceship then started beaming up various objects.
"Uh yes," I replied, "they are."
I saw trees, mammals, buildings, and vehicles get beamed up by the giant spaceship.
"Oh fuck!" Judy shouted, "they just took the entire Bison's Corner Mall! The giant-ass one with the theme park and the movie theatre!"
"And that was the Dancing Fountain!" Nick said, "Well, that place was a gimmick anyways."
"Well," I said, "They probably took some of our friends. And some musicians too."
Blizzard and Winter came into the room.
"What is going on!" Blizzard asked.
"THE ALIENS ARE ABDUCTING THE WHOLE FUCKING CITY!" We all shouted.
"Well holy shit they actually are," Winter said.
After many minutes, the beam disappeared, but the spacecraft started firing laser blasts.
"Oh shit!" I shouted, "please don't hit us."
The laser blasts hit everywhere around the city, even putting a big hole in a skyscraper. The ship then fired a blast that hit a very small rowhouse a few blocks down.
"Oh fuck!" Judy said, "that was our house."
"Oh shit!" Nick said, "glad we didn't leave anything special in there and put it all in this house."
"We gotta do something," Judy said.
"Who will know what to do though?" Nick asked.
"Oh," I said, "I definitely know who to ask now."
We sped through the city in my car. We were too afraid to take public transportation because we thought tht the Slammerjams may be attacking it.
"Who even knows if Wolford is still here though," Nick said, "he may have been abducted too."
"I just have a feeling," I said.
"They could still be here," Judy said, "and-"
Suddenly, I slammed on the breaks. I looked in the street and noticed that Lupe Wolford was still there. I immediately parked the car and ran outside.
"LUPE!" I shouted.
"SNOWY!" They shouted back.
I ran right up to them.
"Did you just see what happened?" Nick asked.
"Oh yeah," Lupe responded, "the Slammerjams abducted most of the whole entire city."
"Yeah they did!" Judy replied, "AND THEY EVEN TOOK A WHOLE FUCKING SHOPPING MALL WITH THEM! THE GIANT-ASS ONE WITH THE THEME PARK!"
"It's all part of their plan," Wolford said, "but it will all stop with you."
"What?" I asked, "what the hell are we to do?"
"There is a way," Wolford replied.
"And this way is…"
"Go back to your house," the wolf said.
"And…"
"Grab the Primo Victoria tank."
"Ah yeah," Nick said, "Tank time again."
"Turn left onto the on ramp for Highway 61."
"So are you on some Bobcat Dylan shit now?" Judy asked, "too much weed."
"Maybe," Wolford reploed, "actually yes probably I am. But it helps me concentrate."
"What's next?" I asked.
"Take that to Mountain View Parkway. Drive up and over the Foxbury gap, and find yourself in the Dustlands district."
"Oh Dustlands," Nick said. The Dustlands area is a part of town that not many go to, and is mainly dominated by warehouses.
"There, turn right onto Flanders Place, and look for the address 14572. Go into that warehouse and ask for Jack Savage and Skye Renarde."
"And then…"
"Ask them to fix a rocket onto the tank, that'll bring you up to the spaceship, and from there, you will have victory."
All of our jaws dropped at the concept.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" We all shouted.
"I have a crystal ball," Wolford said, "I've looked into that crystal ball. I was shown more than one billion futures, and this was the only one where all of you survived and won."
"Damn," I said, "that is really some Infinity War shit right there. But I guess if this is the only way we win, then we will do it."
"I'm in then," Judy said.
"And me too," Nick said.
"Well," Lupe said, "best of luck to the three of you. And may the heroes prevail."
