The Banana- Part 6
Hello! Do you guys have lettuce and other undesirable rotting fruits and vegetables to throw at me for being such a bad poster!
I am SO SORRY, like I am every time I don't post in awhile.
It's funny that you start writing a different idea then when you started out with. This story got off course...so sorry about that. I was re-reading my posts before this, and the last chapter was confusing, even to me. So...sorry about that, and I'll try to avoid my babbling in the future, especially if it doesn't make sense. Okay. Here it is!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lister gripped his bazookoid as he peered through the darkness. Kryten shuffled after him, with Cat and his ever-present mirror close behind. Rimmer was a good 15 feet behind them, glancing for a way out if the fighting got too near to him.
The plan was simple. Find the Suckstery, spray it with some liquid dillinium, to freeze it into one position, than blow it up hard enough for it to jump to another dimension. Tracking it was easy. It was a one in three heat generating being on the ship. Everything seemed a straight path from there.
Lister turned a corner, and found himself on the long hallway that headed towards the hologram simulation suite. He started walking, passing a table to the left that was brimming over with the unopened letters and packages from the post pod they had gotten.
Lister saw a shadow move in the hologram simulation suite. With a primial war scream, he pounded into the room, hoping that the Suckstery would be surprised. The Cat followed, leaving Kryten and Rimmer watching from the table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lister found himself inside a large box. He tried to push it over, but it was holding strong. Lister reasoned that it was the Suckstery. But it hadn't counted on him having a bazookoid, or so Lister hopped. He cocked his gun, trying to look intimidating.
There was a blast from outside of the bubble box, and the Suckstery yowled in pain. The box disappeared. letting Lister see his surroundings. The Cat's bazookoid was smoking, and the Suckstery was standing up against the main consol, with the wall of screens (playing the current hologram's thoughts and memories) right behind it.
Lister aimed his bazookoid at the beast, who now looked like the banana, and fired. The scene played agonizingly slow to Lister, as he watched the shell wiz along it's path towards the Suckstery.
Then, at the last moment, he saw the creature move aside. He watched the shell lodge itself into the main hologramatic projection consol. Sparks flew everywhere as the computer blew up. And he watched the screens that were playing Rimmer's memories fade to black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kryten was standing a few feet back from the door. His part was to wait outside in case the Suckstery ran back outside. Rimmer was standing a few feet back from Kryten, making sure the action was as far away from him as possible.
The sound of a bazookoid being fired echoed through the corridor. Kryten backed up to where Rimmer was standing, so they were side by side.
Then, with a tortured scream, Rimmer's image started melting. Kryten, with his quick-thinking brain, grabbed an oval looking metal piece from the mail on the table, laying on top of a letter that said, "Light Bee-New Technology".
He ran to the nearest consol in the hall, and started pounding buttons. The light bee hovered into the air, as Rimmer's information transferred into the light bee.
All the while the Suckstery slipped into the corridor unseen, and disappeared down another corridor. The Cat and Lister were on the floor a few feet away from the hologram simulation suite door, which was leading to a devastated, totaled, obliterated room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 5 boyz from the Dwarf were sitting in the medi-bay. Rimmer was laying on a table. He was saved from being lost, the light bee was now his source, instead of the no-more-hologram simulation suite. He was saved, but there was much damage to his information disk. Instead of his usual regulation outfit, the light bee equipped him with a new outfit that was bright emerald green.
Lister, Cat, and Kryten were sitting around the table, as Holly looked on from the screen. They were discussing their current situation. They had blown up the suite, making it unusable, Rimmer was 'hurt', and worst of all, the Suckstery was still on the loose.
Kryten opened his mouth to start discussing what to do, when Lister interrupted.
"Oh my cloister, we're going to die. It's taking us down one by one, until it's sitting pretty on our broken bones. There's no way out of this."
"Don't despair, sir. There's still hope." Kryten answered Lister, who was pulling at his dreadlocks. This wasn't like Mr. Lister, who was usually filled with chirpy optimism.
Kryten thought about what the Suckstery did. It removed good traits.
Kryten took out his scanner, and did a quick scan. Lister had lost his optimism.

I just saw the 7th series for the first time, b/c it came out on dvd, and I got it on the 1st day. (I'm in America). And, I made myself some Lister gloves with the fingers cut off at the knuckle (you know). Except it's not leather, it's dark blue cotton. But it's good for homemade attempt. Whatever you know. Oh...I didn't make it, so...never mind.
