Chillin' On the Dark Side

CHAPTER 2: Enter Reese
Suddenly, Reese burst in through the ceiling on Specula. "Blaming the toaster incident on me again, Hiltz?" she asked as she fell to the ground amid rocks and dirt.
"BUT IT WAS YOUR FAULT! YOU AND YOUR STUPID EYES!" Hiltz yelled.
The Dark Kaiser groaned. "REESE! I JUST FIXED ALL THE LEAKS! IF I WANTED A SKYLIGHT, I'D ASK FOR ONE!" he shouted.
"Don't lose your cool, old man, it's just a hole! Besides, the weatherman said that it wasn't supposed to rain tonight!" Reese said, waving her hand around carelessly.
No sooner had she spoken when there was a crash of thunder and a bolt of lightning. The rain poured down heavily through the hole in the ceiling. "REEEEESE!!!" the Dark Kaiser exploded.
"Heh, heh. Those stupid weathermen! What do they know?" Reese shrugged nervously. Realizing that he was still angry she added, "Aw, don't lose it, old man! Just stay away from the hole in the ceiling!"
"OLD MAN! REESE, WHERE IS YOUR RESPECT? YOU'RE DISPLAYING A TOTAL DISREGUARD FOR AUTHORITY! THIS COULD PUT MY ENTIRE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN IN JEOPARDY!" Hiltz complained.
"WHAT PROMOTION??!!" the Dark Kaiser yelled at the same time Reese shouted, "YOU'RE GIVING THAT IDIOT A PROMOTION?!?"
Raven was once again laughing hysterically. "I WAS RIGHT! THIS IS SO MUCH MORE AMUSING THAN OBLITERATING A FEW LOUSY BASES!! YOU GUYS ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID!" he laughed as they continued to argue.
Finally the Dark Kaiser yelled, "SHUT UP! NONE OF YOU MORONS ARE GETTING A PROMOTION AND THAT IS FINAL! THE DARK KAISER HAS SPOKEN!"
"All hail the majestic pumpernickel!" Raven bowed sarcastically.
"YOUR LACK OF RESPECT PROVIDES A PERFECT REASON FOR YOUR DEMISE!" the Dark Kaiser threatened.
"Oh, good one! It even rhymed!" Raven called out.
"No it didn't! The rhythm was completely off!" Reese argued.
"All right then, you make up a rhyme, you stupid Zoidian!" Raven shouted.
"With a charged particle gun and my blue zoid, I battled Raven, who was quickly destroyed!" Reese recited smugly.
"YEAH, BRING IT! COME ON!" Raven yelled.
"Uh, yeah, you tell her, Raven!" Shadow shouted from the corner.
"SHUT UP YA HUNK O' JUNK!" Raven yelled.
"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU! I'M TRYING TO MAKE A CHRISTMAS LIST AND YOU ARE DISTRACTING ME!" the Dark Kaiser thundered. "OH, BY THE WAY, REESE, DID YOU TAKE THE ZOIDS R' US CATALOG WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING?"
"Uh.....well, uh.......BUT HILTZ TOLD ME TO DO IT!" Reese whined.
"HEY! NO I DIDN'T, REESE, YOU STUPID LIER!" Hiltz shouted from the corner where he was sitting at a child's school desk with a crayon in his hand. "Hey, does anybody know how to spell 'Santa'?" he added.
"WELL, DID YOU TAKE IT? I WANT ANSWERS, REESE!" the Dark Kaiser demanded.
Reese looked around the cave frantically. Hiltz was sitting in the corner scribbling on a piece of paper and humming the Sesame Street theme song. "That moron isn't gonna be any help," she muttered to herself. Then she spotted Raven and smiled. "YEAH, DARK KAISER, IT WAS RAVEN! HE SNEAKED INTO YOUR OFFICE WHEN YOU WEREN'T THERE AND TOOK THE CATALOG! IT WAS A COLD CALCULATED ACT OF THEFT!" Reese yelled frantically.
"WHAT?!?" Raven screamed incredously. "I TOOK THE ZOIDS R' US CATALOG?! I TOOK IT?!"
"THERE YA GO LADIES AND GENTS OF THE JURY! A CONFESSION STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF THE CRIMINAL HIMSELF!" Reese yelled.
Specula and Ambient sat at a little table with papers and pens set in front of them. Shadow sat in a raised chair with a tall desk in front of him. He banged a large cartoon hammer on the desk. "THE TWO MEMBERS OF THE BEEF JERKY WILL NOW PROVIDE US WITH THEIR OPINIONS!" he said to Specula and Ambient.
"Jury, Shadow, jury, you idiot!" Specula hissed as the two organoids scribbled on the papers.
"HOLD UP YOUR PAPERS FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE COURT TO SEE!" Shadow demanded, banging his hammer.
Specula and Ambient held up their papers. Specula's had GUILTY written on it in shaky capital letters. Ambient's had a picture of a big cookie. Shadow looked at him. "GULITY OR NOT GUILTY, AMBIENT?" he shouted.
"BUT I'M HUNGRY!" Ambient complained. He turned over his paper and wrote GUILTY.
Shadow banged the hammer on the table. "THE JURY HAS SPOKEN AND HAS FOUND RAVEN GUILTY OF STEALING THE ZOIDS R' US MAGAZINE! HE IS NOW SENTENCED TO SEVERAL YEARS OF SLAVERY UNDER THE DARK KAISER AND HE HAS TO BRING HIM FRENCH TOAST IN BED EVERY MORNING!" he yelled.
"WHAT?!? SHADOW! WHAT IN BLAZES DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU STUPID ORGANOID?! YOU CAN'T GO AGAINST ME! I AM YOUR MASTER!" Raven screamed angrily.
Shadow shrugged. "Sorry, buddy, but the jury says you're guilty! I don't really like all this judge stuff, anyway. I just like banging the big hammer!"
"ARRRRRRRRR, SHADOW!!!!!" Raven yelled.
Reese came up behind Raven and grabbed him. "HEY, LET GO OF ME!" Raven shouted, struggling to get free.
Reese shrugged. "Hey, buddy, you heard the man! You're guilty and you gotta pay! As my good friend Smokey the Bear would say, 'Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!"
Hiltz looked up from his Christmas list. "THAT'S NOT SMOKEY, YOU MORON! SMOKEY THE BEAR SAYS 'ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES!'" Hiltz yelled pointing a finger at Raven.
Raven looked at the idiots around him. "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? YOU ALL BELONG IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION, YOU HEAR ME?! LET ME GO!!!" he screamed.
Reese shook her head. "Sorry, Mr., but I can't do that. You're sentenced to several years of slavery, according to the book. Hope ya know how to make flapjacks!"
"Doesth anybody hath a stampth?" Hiltz asked as he licked the envelope shut.
Raven sighed and covered his face with his hands. "I'm surrounded by total morons." he muttered.

Poor Raven! He's the only one so far who's managed to maintain his sanity! But how much more can he put up with? Please review and if you want, you can guess how much longer you think Raven will stay sane! Okay? Till the lunacy of chapter 3, see ya!
LINKIN PARK RULES!!!!!!!
