Act Three: Left Turn at Albuquerque.

Saruman watched as another beautiful, stunning, gorgeous she-elf floated towards his waiting armies. Slapping a hand over his eyes, he held his head low as he shook it. Sometimes it just didn't pay to be evil. Once again he regretted his decision as he heard the same tired line.

"Prepare to die evil men of Sauron!"

"Orcs! Those are Orcs, you bastard child of a Dwarf!" He called out as she landed. "Kill her!"

The Orcs surrounded her, weapons at the ready. The first to dive at her was sliced to pieces.

"Use your bows, you ignorant beasts! She can kill you in close combat!" When they fired their bows only to kill each other, he raised his staff. "If one wants something done, one must doeth it thyself." As he chanted, the earth below Mary Sue's feet opened up and she fell through to her death in the fires that fueled Mordor. Thus another great evil was removed from the land.

Congratulating himself on a job well done, he turned back towards the mines where his Uruk-hai were being produced. However, before he could start towards it, the beautiful notes of yet another Mary came to him upon the wind.

It was times like that that made him glad he was already evil, for the song would drive him to commit murder. Suddenly appearing in his tower, he listened to her as she came down.

"And bye, bye, bye... Hey, this doesn't look like Rivendell!"

Saruman smiled as she looked at him through the pillars of his tower. As she drifted by, he waved.

"Perhaps you should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque? I hear that is the place where a lot of people get lost." His evil laughter filled the dark sky.
