The Return of The Coyote
Meanwhile back at the Misfit Manor, the Triplets were happily playing around with a device imbedded in the kitchen wall. Lance was going to get a drink from the refrigerator. "What are you three maniacs doing?" He asked.
"We're trying to fix this thing," Daria said matter of factly.
"Oh," Lance shrugged and got his soda. He was about to leave when he realized exactly what they were doing. "WAIT! DON'T"
Suddenly the device began to glow and then…
"TA DA!" The Coyote appeared before them. "I'm ba-ack!"
"God no!" Lance groaned. "My third worst nightmare come to life…again!"
The Coyote put his paws around Lance. "Aw come on, don't say you didn't miss me Lancey-Wancy?"
"Fine I won't say it," Lance quipped. "But I'll make sure I won't miss this time!" He grabbed a knife from a drawer. "DIE!"
"Uh oh…" The Coyote gulped. "Feet don't fail me now!" It ran off.
"COME BACK HERE YOU FLEA FARM FROM HELL!" Lance chased after it, swinging the knife.
"Okay now why didn't Lance try to shut off the device instead?" Quinn asked.
"Because he's stupid that's why," Daria told her as Lance screamed some more obscenities.
"He is not stupid," Brittany defended as something crashed in the living room. "He just doesn't always think things through."
Up in her room Althea was reading magazines with Wanda. "Do you really want to know what the racket is about downstairs?" She asked.
"Not particularly," Wanda responded casually as she flipped the pages.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GUM?! MY SHOES ARE STUCK!" Lance screamed as the ground shook. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Both girls looked at each other. "Pietro," They said at the same time.
"Close but no cigar!" The Coyote trotted into the room. "Ladies!"
"Oh great! Who let this loose?" Wanda groaned.
"Five will get you ten it was my sisters," Althea said.
"Oh come now is that any way to greet someone who sounds like your brother?" Coyote asked. "Even though my voice is much better than his."
Lance ran in barefoot. "All right! Let me at him!"
"Oh come on Lance," The Coyote said. "After all we've been through? Where's the love?"
"DIE!" Lance lunged at it.
Of course Coyote easily dodged him and sat on his back. "Oh isn't that cute? He wants to play!" He laughed as he ran off.
"My sisters let him loose didn't they?" Althea asked.
"Bingo…" Lance groaned.
"HEY! Who painted the halls purple?" Fred called out.
"Come on Wanda," Althea sighed. "We gotta get Lance's imagination under control before things get out of hand."
"It's a bit late for that," Wanda remarked as they left the room and saw the Coyote dancing around in a can-can outfit. "It's like watching a live action cartoon!"
"But you gotta admit, Lance has a better imagination than one would think," Althea remarked as the Coyote dumped the outfit and ran as Lance chased him. Then he started to chase Lance on the back of a motorcycle.
"WILL YOU TWO GIVE ME A HAND HERE?" Lance screamed. "EVEN IN MY MIND HE'S NEVER THIS BAD!"
"Well what do you want us to do?" Wanda asked. "Hit him with a rolled up newspaper?"
"Oh yeah!" Coyote appeared before her wagging his tail. "Spank me baby! Spank me!"
"Okay this is officially sick!" Wanda groaned.
"What is all the noise about?" Roadblock walked in with Xi, Low Light and Todd. "Oh…"
"Hey the Coyote's back!" Todd said cheerfully.
"And I wish he'd go away!" Lance moaned. "You have no idea what that thing puts me through when I see him in my head! It's bad enough without having to face him in the real world."
"Actually Lance we're getting a pretty good idea of what he's like in your head," Low Light remarked as the Coyote ran out of the room and ran down the hall. He came back out with Shipwreck's socks and Shipwreck was chasing him.
"Come back here you land pirate!" Shipwreck shouted.
"Lance remind us to give you some extra time in therapy this week," Low Light said.
Ten minutes later, Trinity managed to shut off the device and it was decided that it had to be removed from the house one way or another before Lance had a nervous breakdown.
"Okay, we've finally managed to move this thing out of the wall," Fred called out cheerfully.
"Yeah Fred too bad you took out a whole section of it as well," Roadblock groaned.
"Aw we needed a new window anyway," Shipwreck waved.
"Why don't we take it to the lab?" Althea suggested.
"For once that's a good idea," Lance agreed. "And I want to see that thing dissected to pieces!"
"Let's go to the lab kids," Roadblock said. They went to the lab where Airtight was looking for something. "Hey Airtight! We got something for you to play with!" He was about to hand the McGuffin device over to him.
"Hold it!" Xi stopped him.
"What's wrong Xi?" Airtight asked.
"That is not Airtight!" Xi growled. He charged at him.
'Airtight' managed to dodge the tackle but was not able to keep the mask he was wearing. "You really are a nosy little thing aren't you?" Zandar snarled.
"Zandar?" Althea gasped. "Here?"
"Yes and thanks for the gift!" Zandar laughed as he rushed Roadblock and grabbed the McGuffin Device. He threw a smoke bomb to cover his getaway.
"After him!" Roadblock shouted.
"I got him!" Pietro shouted as he ran up to Zandar. However Zandar had come prepared and managed to throw another small device. It turned to a gum like substance and enveloped Pietro's feet. "NO FAIR!"
"Playing fair is for suckers!" Zandar laughed as he managed to make his way to the dock. He jumped into the waiting Cobra sub that took off.
By now the remaining other Joes on the base had noticed and were firing on it, but it quickly disappeared. "It's got a cloaking device!" Tunnel Rat, one of the Joes shouted. "That must be how it got past our defenses!"
"No? Ya think?" Low Light asked sarcastically. "And with most of the other Joes away from the base it picked the perfect time to hit!"
"A Cobra Sub at the Joe base!" Shipwreck snapped. "They've got nerve I'll give them that!"
"We have to get the McGuffin Device back!" Roadblock said.
"Why?" Lance asked. "They can have it!"
"As much as I'd love to agree with you, who knows what Cobra will do," Roadblock told him. "They'll use it as some kind of weapon that's for sure. So we gotta stop it from happening!"
"Maybe we'll get lucky and the coyote will beat us to it?" Todd asked.
"Yeah, right Toad…" Pietro scoffed. "That'll happen. And maybe I'll start wearing Jean's clothes."
