Chapter 8 – A Short Chapter about Execution
Homestar and Marzipan were in a cart in a tunnel in the Geonosian Colosseum.
"Uh, I think we'we going to live. Othewwise, thewe isn't going to be an Episode Thwee, Fouw, Five, or Six," said Homestar.
"Well, I'm not afraid to die. But I'm still afraid for my plants," said Marzipan, and she was right, for her plants already wilted from no water.
"Oh come on. Fowget about the stupid plants," said Homestar.
"You're right. I can always get new ones, and it's small potatoes compared to this situation. But before we go out there and try not to let ourselves killed…" began Marzipan.
"Oh, we won't! Fow thewe won't be Episode Thwee, again," said Homestar.
"Yeah, but I want to tell you something. I'll be your girlfriend," said Marzipan.
"Okay then, wanna mawwy me?" asked Homestar.
"Um, alright," replied Marzipan without thinking, for the cart was already moving into the arena.
The Colosseum was huge. A whole bunch of Fhqwhgads were quacking as they sat on the benches and watched the arena. There were three pillars in the middle. Strong Bad was chained to one by his boxing gloves. Chains for Homestar and Marzipan were hanging from the others. In the archducal box, Zee-Gee-Oh, Blue Laser, a surviving minion from Episode I, Fhqwhgads the Lesser, Stinkoman, and 1-Up were watching what's happening.
As Homestar and Marzipan were chained twice (their waists were chained), Marzipan got out a wire and placed it in her mouth and began trying to free herself.
"Well, Homestar, I was wondering if you got my dramatic message," said Strong Bad.
"We sent it to Cowuscant just like you said. Then we decided to wescue you," replied Homestar.
"Great job stupid! I can smell freedom right now!" Strong Bad said sarcastically.
"Thanks, but I don't smell anything," replied Homestar.
In the archducal box…
"Quack, quack, quack!" shouted Fhqwhgads the Lesser, which meant, "Let the executions begin!"
So the air was filled with quacking.
"Stupid ducks," muttered Strong Bad as Marzipan continued to work on her manacle.
Then three gates opened around the arena. An electric guitar solo played as Trogdor walked out of one gate and burninated the guitarist (a Fhqwhgads). Next, Kerrek came out, and all Fhqwhgads around Kerrek fainted from the smell coming from Kerrek, especially from its belt. A Fhqwhgads was poking at it with a stick courageously, and the Kerrek whacked the poor Fhqwhgads with its club. From the last gate came out the S is for Sucks Dragon.
"I don't like those weiwdos," said Homestar.
The three monsters began walking towards their targets.
"Okay Homestar, take Trogdor. I'll take the one who sucks," said Strong Bad.
"What about Mawzipan?" asked Homestar.
"She can die. No, I'm just kidding. Wait, let me see," replied Strong Bad as he looked at Marzipan, who freed herself from one manacle and began climbing her pillar, "She seems to be on top of things, literally."
Trogdor ran towards Homestar with a fiery mouth, but he jumped and Trogdor ran into the pillar; ouch! That's got to hurt! So Trogdor didn't burninate anybody, maybe except the pillar. Then Homestar landed on Trogdor and wrapped his chains around Trogdor's mouth to prevent it from burninating anything else. As Trogdor tried to shake the chain off (the muscular arm was too muscular to move, let alone remove the chains off its mouth), it tore the chain off the burninated pillar.
As for Strong Bad, the S is for Sucks punched Strong Bad's pillar, freeing the chain and Strong Bad. Then Strong Bad ran after a Fhqwhgads with a stick while the S is for Sucks dragon ran after him.
As Marzipan reached the top of her pillar, the Kerrek tried to punch Marzipan off. This seemed to please Blue Laser.
Strong Bad dove at the Fhqwhgads, pinning it to the ground. Then he ran off while the S is for Sucks stepped on the Fhqwhgads. Then Strong Bad picked up the stick the Fhqwhgads dropped with his boxing gloves with difficulty. Homestar was continuing riding Trogdor with difficulty and discomfort, for it's not pleasant to sit on scaly skin.
The Kerrek kept punching Marzipan's pillar to try and knock Marzipan off. Using the chain, Marzipan whipped Kerrek in the face. Then she jumped off the pillar and kicked Kerrek with her "feet" and went back up on the top of the pillar.
"WHAT? SHE CAN'T DO THAT!" Blue Laser screeched angrily.
Strong Bad threw the stick at the S is for Sucks' skin. Since the dragon sucked, it pierced the skin. Using a beefy arm, the dragon just pulled the stick out and threw it away. Marzipan managed to free herself from her other manacle using the same wire she used earlier. Meanwhile, Homestar made Trogdor run to the Kerrek. And Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination… if only Trogdor could open its mouth, but that was enough to kill Kerrek.
"Hey Mawzipan, hop on onto the T.S.S. Homestaw!" said Homestar as Marzipan jumped onto Trogdor.
"What does that mean?" asked Marzipan.
"Uh… Trogdow… Stupid… Boat… Homestaw," replied Homestar.
"That's T.S.B.," replied Marzipan.
"Oh who cawes?" asked Homestar.
Then the Trogdor ran to Strong Bad and the S is for Sucks dragon. Strong Bad leaped onto Trogdor to escape the S is for Sucks dragon.
"THIS IS MAKING ME MAD!" screeched Blue Laser, "STINKOMAN, KILL HER!"
"Now, now, my impatient and screeching friend, she will die," said Zee-Gee-Oh.
Suddenly, droidekas arrived and surrounded Trogdor, Homestar, Marzipan, and Strong Bad with their guns raised.
"This is just crap. We just escaped from our pillars over there and outsmarted the idiotic beasts, only to be shot by these droids with shields," muttered Strong Bad.
"I think this is just… uh… cwap?" replied Homestar.
