Chapter 8 – The Plot Thickens Even More
In Coruscant, Strong Bad and Homestar walked to a clone landing platform, where there were thousands of clones with weapons and etc. being loaded into a large Republic assault ship.
"You'we going to need me on this one, Stwong Bad," said Homestar.
"You are never going to call me Master, are you?" asked Strong Bad.
"Nope, I'm afwaid not," replied Homestar.
"Typical," muttered Strong Bad before saying, "But this might be all a wild bantha chase, and you know how boring those are."
"Anyway, I thought about this, and yes, I do think, and I just want to say thank you fow teaching me," thanked Homestar, "You know, since I was wude lately."
"Oh, very wise of you," remarked Strong Bad, "You know, you are a pretty good Jedi, and a powerful one, and I have to admit that you're better than me, which sucks a little. Anyway, the Council might make you a Master if you get some brains, so just wait, if you can."
"I won't," replied Homestar.
"Anyway, I have enough clones to invade three systems the size of Utapau. I'll be able to handle this situation without your help," reassured Strong Bad.
"Okay, bye," said Homestar.
"See ya," replied Strong Bad before muttering, "Okay, now I must have been too nice to Homestar today. It MUST have been something in my breakfast."
Then Strong Bad went into a Republican cruiser. The cruiser left Coruscant and into space. Inside the cruiser, Strong Bad was by his blue Jedi fighter while talking to some Stinkoman clones, some with their helmets off. They were in front of a hologram of Utapau.
"FORTUNATELY, the cities are in this one continent on the far side!" said Commander Codyman, a friend of Strong Bad.
"Okay, I'll distract them, and then you come early," said Strong Bad.
"Oh come on Strong Bad! When have I ever let you down?" asked Codyman.
"Um, how about Cato Nemoidia?" asked Strong Bad as he climbed into his Jedi fighter.
"HOMESTAR was late," replied Codyman.
"Okay, you're innocent, but you have to destroy about 99 percent of the droids, or else," replied Strong Bad.
"Good luck," said Codyman.
Then Strong Bad flew his Jedi fighter out of the cruiser. Then he flew his ship into a hyperspace ring. After some setting up, the ship with the ring flew into hyperspace to Utapau.
"STOP SCREAMING!" screamed Strong Bad.
"I… I CAN'T!" screamed Marzipan in pain.
"Don't scream anymore! It's too loud!" said Strong Bad.
That was just another nightmare Homestar had of Marzipan dying. Right now, he was sitting on a couch in Marzipan's apartment. Then Marzipan entered the room.
"So, Stwong Bad was hewe, wight?" asked Homestar, picking up a Post-it that said, "Strong Bad was here, and he rules, man."
"He came by this morning," replied Marzipan.
"What did he say? Did he find his Lappy?" asked Homestar.
"No. But he did say that you were acting stupid in front of the Jedi Council," said Marzipan.
"Oh, that cwap again," said Homestar, "Look, Stwong Bad and the Council don't like me."
"What? No they don't. They just have to tolerate with your foolishness," replied Marzipan.
Then Homestar stood up and looked at the window.
"Something's happening. I'm not the Jedi I should be," said Homestar, "I'm playing Obi-Wan Kenobi, wight?"
"No, you're playing Anakin Skywalker," replied Marzipan.
"Oh dawn it! I wanted to be Luke Skywalkew!" exclaimed Homestar.
"What does this have to do with anything?" asked Marzipan.
"I don't know. But I found a way to save you," said Homestar.
"What?" asked Marzipan.
"You know, my nightmawes," said Homestar.
"Those? Look, they're dreams, and your 'mother' dying after you had nightmares about her was just a coincidence… a cruel one at that," explained Marzipan, "Besides, I'm not the kind of woman who dies of childbirth, so don't worry."
"No, that's okay. I'll just save you with the Fowce," said Homestar.
"Look, I'm not going to die of childbirth, okay?" asked Marzipan, a little annoyed.
"All wight," replied Homestar.
In Utapau, Strong Bad flew his Jedi Fighter into a giant sinkhole and onto a landing platform. As he exited, Thomas and a few other aliens walked up to Strong Bad to greet him. The aliens looked like short, pencil-drawn Martians with beady black eyes. At the same time, a magna droid was watching the newcomer.
"Greetings young…" began Thomas.
"Don't call me that," ordered Strong Bad, "I'm obviously older than you."
"Okay. Greetings, Jedi. What brings you to our remote sanctuary?" asked Thomas.
"The war, of course," replied Strong Bad.
"There is no war here, unless you've brought it with you," replied Thomas.
"With or without your permission, fuel my ship and let me make your city a base while I search for General Visor," ordered Strong Bad.
So, a few aliens went to Strong Bad's ship and began refueling it.
"Anyway, Visor is here. He is keeping us hostage, and his minions are watching us," whispered Thomas.
"Oh, how useful information," remarked Strong Bad.
"Go to the tenth level. There are thousands of battle droids," ordered Thomas.
"Okay, take your people to shelter, and if you have any soldiers, make them battle," ordered Strong Bad.
As the Utapaun aliens left, Strong Bad went to his Jedi fighter and talked to his 'protocol droid,' Sterrance.
"Hey Sterrance, you cute little animal," said Strong Bad before turning around and gagging a little for using the word cute, "Take the Fighter back to the ship. I'm staying here. Tell Codyman I've made contact."
Sterrance squealed a bit before the ship began flying away by itself. Strong Bad watched as it flew away from the sinkhole, leaving him officially stranded.
Somewhere else in the sinkhole, Strong Bad managed to find a beast to ride on, Nebulon. Nebulon was a large, green, fat alien with two eyes. Nebulon ran a bit until they approached the conference room.
Inside the grand chamber of that room, some separatists (like General Visor, Blue Laser, etc…) were having a meeting. Strong Bad decided to spy on them by hiding in a safe spot and listening.
"It won't be long before the armies of the Republic track us here. I'm sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim. It is a volcanic planet which generates a great deal of scanning interference," explained General Visor, "You will be safe there."
"SAFE?" screeched Blue Laser, "CHANCELLOR HOMESCHOOL MANAGED TO ESCAPE YOUR STUPID GRIP, GENERAL, WITHOUT ZEE-GEE-OH, I HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR STUPID ABILITIES TO KEEP US SAFE! I JUST HATE IT SO MUCH!"
Blue Laser was a Cheat dressed like his minions, but he did not have a visor, but he had an eye patch that somehow kept on switching its position and a screechy voice.
"Be thankful, Viceroy, you have not found yourself in my grip… Your ship is waiting," replied General Visor.
After the separatists (except for General Visor) left, Strong Bad went from his hiding spot to the control center, where General Visor was going below. Then he jumped down behind the general.
"Hey you crap-for-brain," said Strong Bad.
All droids in the room and General Visor turned around to face Strong Bad.
"Oh crap. I should work on my ways to surprise the enemy," muttered Strong Bad.
"General Strong Bad, you are a bold one," commented General Visor, "I find your behavior bewildering."
"Whoa, I've never heard that before," remarked Strong Bad.
"Surely you realized that you're doomed," said General Visor before saying to the droids, "Kill him."
Then four magna droids walked towards Strong Bad with their electrical staffs raised. He used the Force on a piece of equipment in the air to make it fall on all of the four droids, destroying three of them while trapping the other. As Strong Bad walked towards General Visor, he stabbed the last magna droid in the head with his lightsaber.
"Back away," General Visor said to the droids, "I'll deal with the Jedi slime myself."
"Jedi slime? Now that's a horrible insult," remarked Strong Bad.
"Shut up."
"Okay then, your move."
"You fool. I have been trained in your Jedi arts by Zee-Gee-Oh himself, and you lost to him twice," taunted General Visor, but just then, he began "coughing" violently again before muttering, "I should have quit smoking when I had the chance."
"Well, Zee-Gee-Oh just got lucky twice!" Strong Bad retorted about the Zee-Gee-Oh comment.
"Attack, Strong Bad."
Then General Visor took off his cape and then, he grew two more new robotic arms. Then each of his four arms gripped the lightsabers he took from the Jedi he's killed during the war.
"Well, I trained the Jedi who killed Zee-Gee-Oh, so there!" replied Strong Bad in hopes of confidence.
Then General Visor's upper arms began spinning with the lightsabers in his hands with the bottom two lightsabers pointed at Strong Bad, making him a deadly lightsaber razor fan. He even created sparks on the floor. Strong Bad was undaunted.
"You're just showing off," said Strong Bad.
Then Strong Bad struck with his lightsaber, hitting two of General Visor's lightsabers. Then the other two were about to strike Strong Bad when he jumped out of the way and managed to cut off one of General Visor's new arms, leaving him with only three. Before General Visor could attack again, Strong Bad chopped off General Visor's other new arm, leaving General Visor with only his normal arms.
"You know what? You suck," remarked Strong Bad.
"Well, Zee-Gee-Oh was a bad teacher," agreed Visor.
Then Strong Bad fought against General Visor and his two lightsabers. Visor had several opportunities when he could have killed Strong Bad since he had two lightsabers, and he missed them all. Then, an explosion was heard. Both warriors looked at the entrance to the control center to see clone troopers entering by rappelling. The others and their ships were outside in the sinkhole.
"I may not defeat your droids, but my troops certainly will," said Strong Bad.
"Army or not, you must realize that you're doomed," replied General Visor.
"Only if I'm a loser named Strong Sad," replied Strong Bad.
"Crap, you're right," muttered General Visor.
Then the clones and droids began shooting at each other with their blasters, causing a chaotic battle. It's a miracle Strong Bad and General Visor were not shot by the droids and clones. Meanwhile, Strong Bad used the Force on General Visor to hurl him onto the ceiling while dropping his two lightsabers. Then Visor landed harshly on the floor.
Then Strong Bad ran to where General Visor went while slicing any droid that got in his way with his lightsaber. He saw General Visor hopping into a large wheel scooter, using it to take off down a wall of the sinkhole.
"Hey Nebulon! Come over here! I like your style!" shouted Strong Bad.
Then Nebulon quickly and happily came, trampling and shooting energy balls at any droids that got in its way. Then Strong Bad hopped onto the alien and they both chased after General Visor. But outside the control center, Strong Bad accidentally dropped his lightsaber, which was picked up by Commander Codyman.
In the Jedi war room in the Jedi Temple in Coruscant, Homestar and Strong Mad were in front of the holograms of Pom Pom, Wheelchair, clone Commander Codyman, and Cheerleader.
"Master Strong Mad. MAY I interrupt? General Strong Bad has made contact with General VISOR, and we have begun out attack," reported Commander Codyman.
"GOOD!" shouted Strong Mad before talking to Homestar, "MESSENGER BOY TO HOMESCHOOL!"
"Yes, siw," replied Homestar before running off.
As Commander Codyman's hologram disappeared, Strong Mad sensed something.
"PLOT TO DESTROY JEDI!" shouted Strong Mad, "CHANCELLOR BAD!"
"If he does not give up his emergency powers after the destruction of Visor, then he shall be remoooooooved from office," said Wheelchair.
"THAT'S BAD!" shouted Strong Mad.
"To a dark place this line of thought will carry us. Hmmmmm. . . . great care we must take," bubbled Pom Pom.
