a/n: Sorry for the ultra-long wait! MS Word wasn't working at all...Something has been wrong with it lately; I'm sorry. It's still VERY slow, so the updates won't come as quickly as they did last summer...I'll try to get it fixed soon.

This chappie is rated PG-13 for mild violence.

Chapt. 20 (?): Bit's a Magician, just who is the mysterious voice over the intercom...?, ROYAL RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!! (Sorta...)

(Flashback: Last chappie, Res. Evil ended, Part of Ghost Ship was shown to the muses, and Bit found a paper clip in his ear!)

Everybody: *gawks at the paper clip*

Bit: It's so shiny... ^-^;; *holds the paper clip up to his nose and gets cross-eyed just staring at it* Smells funny, though...

Nikita: *recovers* Um, Bit, in case you haven't noticed, that just came from your ear. -.-;;

Bit: *confused* So what...? ^_~;; Isn't it awesome?! Things come out of my ears! ^o^() *sticks his pinky inside his other ear and pulls out a ball of goo* Look! Slime!!! XD

Blackie: O_O That's earwax!!!! *grabs a baseball bat and whacks the earwax ball out of Bit's hand*

Bit: Hey!!! _ Give that back!!!

Blackie: ...What...?! ^.~;;

Bit: Hmm...Lemme see what else I can dig up... *pokes his finger into his left ear and pulls out...*

Maelgwyn: What the...?! So that's where it went!!!

Vega: That is so COOL! ^O^ Hey, hey, try the other one again!

~̕~

*control room*

Everybody: *freezes and looks at the 2 newcomers*

Seighart: ...Kuja...?! O.O

Everybody else: *gapes at the VotI dude* Palta?!

VotI Dude/Palta: *stands up and brushes self off, then notices the huge crowd glaring at him* Oh noooooooo... ._.U

Seighart: *unties Kuja*

Kuja: *points accusingly at Palta* This weirdo broke into the voice-over-whateveryacallit room, cracked me over the head, and tied me up!!!!!!

Everyone else: *astonished gasps* *glare at Palta*

Kuja: He also planned to tape you guys and use the videos for blackmail!

*more gasps, definitely more death glares*

Palta: *backs away uneasily* 'Ulp...! o.oU

Seighart: *growls* It's not nice to pummel someone else's muses...

Sharra: Particularly if that "someone else" is an authoress... :-P

Chaos: *unsheathes his claws* What say we maim him terribly, eh? *evil grin*

Lamoo: Say your prayers, Mister Palta!

Chaos: Not that it'll help him in any way, of course!

*everyone advances on Palta...*

Palta: *falls to his knees and clasps his hands* *starts muttering a prayer and pleading*

Stoller: STOP!!!!

Everyone else: *turns around to look at him* ^_~;;

Leena: What's the big idea, man?! T_T#

Brad: Are you outta yer wits?! He was planning to blackmail us!!!

Stoller: Still, he hasn't actually done any damage...

Mel: Yeah?! Tell that to th'door! ToT# *points to the broken-down door*

Stoller: I meant damage to any of us...

Mel: Oh...

Stoller: Listen: sure, Palta's a bad guy...He doesn't play fair in Zoid battles, gossips behind the backs of every other BDG member, and has almost killed the Blitz Team a few times! But he doesn't actually deserved to be decapitated with a blunt axe or have his butt chewed off by rabid squirrels!

EE: *blinks incredulously*

Palta: *gulps*

Stoller: ...In case that's what you're planning, I mean.

Toros: *whistles innocently and hides a blunt axe behind his back*

Raven: What're ya getting at...? ^_~

Stoller: I mean that he should be punished, but his punishment shouldn't be so severe! Let's just sentence him to a month of cleaning out the toilets or something.

Palta: Huh?! O.~U

Ryou: *looking at the rec room through one of the windows* Heh-heh...There's still a few vacant seats... *wink*

Everybody else: Hmmmmm... *nods and starts smiling evilly*

Palta: *nervous sweatdrop* Oh nooooo...

Kuja: ----as we have forgotten someone...

*trapdoor opens in the ceiling*
