Chapter 4- Problems, Problems, Problems

"What?" questioned Mozenrath. "But I thought you were—"

"Yes, I know I was destroyed," said Jafar's voice. "But I have been resurrected by scientists just a few days ago. They called me "The Next Hitler's Brain."

"What do you want with me?" asked Mozey. "I don't even know if that street-rat is here in this world."

"Ohhh, he is," said Jafar. "And you're gonna help me take over this damn world AND destroy him!"

"How? I don't have my trusted Xerxes, and I still need to find this Zapp Brannigan guy."

Then, the red glowing ball turned into a thick mist that circulated around Mozey. And then…Mozenrath bonded together with Jafar!

"Hmmm," said Jafar, with Mozey's eyes glowing a strong yellow. "Now, this is my chance to rule over…over…where are we?"

Mozey's eyes turned back to normal. "Michigan!"

Yellow eyes. "Ha! Michigan will bow before me…Jafar!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha—"

HOONNNKKKK!

The Nimbus was just coming into port, with near-by civilians cheering for the one and only—

Zapp Brannigan came out, girdle-free, drunk as a robot who hasn't had any booze yet, and living life to its fullest...or so to speak.

"Thank you! Thank (hic!) you so muuuuch, you party-donkeys!!"

Kif, however, just sighed disgustedly. He had to go back to New New York and take care of his smizmar.

"Um, sir?" asked the shy alien. "May I be dismissed to visit Amy?"

"Sure, Kif," said Zapp. "I'll just go over here and attract the ladies." He smoothed out his toupee and went to the nearest girl he could find. "Hel-LO beautiful!"

She gasped in disgust and slapped him. "I have a boyfriend!" she snapped, then walked away. Other members of DOOP started snickering behind Zapp.

"What the hell are you looking at!?" he shouted. The DOOP men whistled and went away.

"Having problems, Brannigan?" asked Jafar, coming up to Zapp.

"Who are you?" asked Zapp. "Are you my (hic)insurance agent, 'cuz I did not crash the Cumulus (Zapp's smaller ship) into an Omicronian RB--er, V!"

"No," said Jafar. "I can help you achieve your greatest dreams…if you help me achieve mine."

"Are you also a member of A.A?"

"NO!!—I mean, of course not," said Jafar, calmly. "No, I just need a man with a lot of authority and brain-power to have someone—permanently sleep."

"Who? Nixon? He went back to hell two years ago. In fact, our current president is--" said Zapp.

Meanwhile, back in New New York…

"Are you okay, Iago?" asked Jasmine.

"Whadd'ya think?" asked Iago.

"This is just way too crazy!" said Fry. "I'm gonna watch TV." He, Bender, and Zoidberg went into the other room.

"How long do you think this will happen, professor?" asked Kyle.

"Wha?…oh! I'm not quite sure," said the sleepy old man. "I'll have to run some tests and see."

"I don't think that we'll get out of the future alive," said Aladdin.

"For once, I won't joke about it," said Genie, so sullen. "I get the feeling that someone from out world is here, looking for us."

Abu let out a scared squeal, then ran into the other room.

"Well," said Hermes. "Eet can't get any worse…right?"

BOOM! A big flash of lightning flashed outside, rain and hail fell from the clouds, and winds started blowing everywhere.

"Why did you have to say it?" asked Kyle.

Leela sighed. "I'll go get the emergency kits." She went past the TV room, where Fry, Bender, and Zoidberg were watching "Terrence and Phillip's Summer Vacation…Part 2!"

"Oh, this is so much fun," said Terrence, "having a shark around will keep that dick Scott out of our way!"

"Indeed, Terrence," said Phillip. "Oh, look. Here comes Scott now." He farted, then they both cackled.

"What are you two idiots doin'?" asked Scott.

"We're playing with our pet Sharky," said Terrence. "Want to pet his mouth?"

"Hell, no!" said Scott. "I read about sharks—they are very dangerous to keep around, especially with two fart-loving, joke-ruiners like yourselves!"

"What?" asked Phillip.

Scot had a smirk on his face. "Yes. If you keep this shark, then you will die an early death…from cancer!"

There was an awkward pause.

"CANCER!?" gasped T and P.

"Yes. In your ass," said Scott.

"ASS cancer!?"

"Oh, God no!" said Fry.

Abu stares at the TV. "Huh?"

"We interrupt this program to bring you a special weather report," said a voice on the TV.

"What the hell?" asked Bender.

"This new character sucks!" groaned Fry. "Boo!"

"Hello," said Linda, on the TV screen. "This is a special weather report for the New New York region. Predicted precipitation will reach about 15 inches today, hail the size of blernsballs will fall down tonight, and winds reaching 30 miles per hour will blow through Long Island today and tonight."

"All humans will be brought to death's door and my race's smiles!" said Morbo. Linda just laughed, as always

Abu was scared by the TV, especially by that scary green guy, so he hid under the couch.

"Hey, it's okay, monkey-dude," said Fry."They can't come out and kill us…right Bender?"

"Maybe," said Bender, as he took a drink of beer. "If you wished hard enough."

"There you are!" said Aladdin, looking for his friend. Abu leapt from under the couch and into Al's arms. Zoidberg started at Abu until he got up and said "How much for your monkey?"

"What? He's not for sale," said Aladdin.

"No, seriously," said Zoidberg. "How much? I'm hungry."

Leela came back with countless backpacks and food in a hover dolly, pushing hard.

"Okay," sighed Leela. "I think that's all of—"

BOOM! Another big bolt of lightning flashed in the sky.

Zoidberg shrieked and tried to hide under the couch, but Fry and Bender were sitting on top of it.

Jasmine held tightly on Aladdin's right arm in fear.

Fry and Bender held onto each other, shivering.

Then, the power went out, and everything was dark.

"Leela?" asked Fry. "What are we gonna do?"

"Relax, will ya?" asked Leela. "We have candles and flashlights." She clapped her hands twice, and sure enough, candles placed in every room were fully lit.

BOOM! CRICK! CRACK! CRICK! CRACK! Lightning burst outside and large pieces of hail crashed against the roof.

"How about we watch some good ol' EHD-DVD-VHS-Rom+ movies?" asked Fry, holding up various disks.

"Enhanced High Definition Digital Video Disc and Video Home System."

Later that night when it was just raining, while everyone slept, Kyle stayed up and watched the rain fall down against the window, thinking about her past.

"How did I get here?" her mind kept repeating. "Why am I here? Is there anything so important about to happen that I'm here?" She then slid down against the wall and closed her eyes, wondering…wondering…
