There's Something About Marik

by Shrilanka-San

Before he had Rare Hunters, Marik and Odion try to steal the Millennium Puzzle on their own...along with about every other evil villain from the show! Insanity reigns supreme as an all out war brews in Domino High School! Who will win?

42. Conclusion

Yes folks, the end days are at hand. There have been signs everywhere. Unusually warm weather, people actually liking the Democrat party, another Final Fantasy instalment…um…fire raining…from…the…okay, I'm running out of omens. Regardless, yes…it's the end. After fourty-something chapters, it's time to bring this story to a close…

Chapter 42

CONCLUSION

PREVIOUSLY ON 'THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARIK'

Okay, so there was, like, this guy, who was, like, a total, like, guy, who totally was a total, like…jerk! And then, we see these, like, guys, like, who, like, went to, like, see him! And then they, like, talked, and there were, like, some other guys, and they, like, talked too! And then, like, then, more people came, like, and like, talked, and like, it was, like…I'm so pretty! And like, like, like, there was like…another guy! And he was hotter than the first guy! And then, like, there were, like, a few chicks, and then like, there were some ugly dudes, and like-

We apologize humbly, deeply, sincerely, and abjectly for the previous brief summery of what happens so far in this story. We are very, very, very sorry indeed. Really. So to show just how sorry we are, we decided to spend an addition four dollars and seventy six cents to provide a more accurate summery.

"READ THE STUPID STORY YOURSELF YA BUNCH OF WEENIES!" screamed a huge pro wrestler in a ballet tutu holding a rubber chicken, standing in the middle of a crowded subway.

And now…

"Oh…darn, the narrator's back…" muttered Leon. "Oh…whatever…okay, where were we again?"

"Megalomaniac rant…" said everyone in the room in a dull monotone.

"OH SHUT UP!" yelled Leon. "Ah yes…MEGALOMANIAC RANT…wait, we got through with that! Weren't any of you paying attention?"

Silence.

"NEVERMIND!" said Leon. "Now, with the push of a button, I SHALL DESTROY YOU A-"

"NOT SO FAST!" said Tish, holding up a cell phone "If you make one more move, I'll cook your entire operation, and you with it!"

"…excuse me?" asked Leon, not used to being at the bad end of violent threats.

"After I managed to bust out of that closet I was locked in, I took a quick peek in the phone book and looked up your number. And now, I plan to send you a very disturbing picture that I managed to snap on my cell phone, one which features a disturbing little man with a rubber chicken, and a bunch of-but is that the point? No. The point is that attached to this disturbing picture I plan to send to you is your own little pet-project…the Red Dog Computer Virus."

"So?" asked Leon.

"This particular virus is dormant," said Tish. "Once it hits a true energy source, it'll bloom into a full-scale epidemic that will shut down everything in its path. And I'm sure all of your equipment has to run on a lot of power."

"And what makes you think that if it's not responding to your cell phone, it will to mine?" asked Leon haughtily.

Tish pointed about two feet away from him, where, on a coffee table, there lay a single cell phone, in a charger...which was connected to a wall…and a source of large amount of electrical power…

"Oh popsicles…" said Leon. "NEVERTHELESS, you will never get a change to send that e-mail because-"

With that, he hoped off his red velvet covered raised platform from which he was delivering his random speech for some time now, bounced down the stairs which lead up to it, weaved quietly around all of the people who gathered around to oppose his final regime, occasionally uttering an 'excuse me' or 'pardon me', often receiving a murmured "oh, no problem", and walked up to Tish, snatching the cell phone out of her hand with one swipe, then turning away and walking back.

"…come to think of it, I should have seen that coming long in advance…" said Tish. "HEY, GET BACK HER YOU LITTLE-"

Before she could finish the sentence, out of almost every nook and cranny seemed to spawn forth massive hoards of dubbers clad in their oh-so-scarry red robes, armed from top-to-bottom with especially impressive looking dub cannons.

"Ha! Looks like it's time for the finally battle!" said Leon triumphantly, as all the entire gang found themselves staring down the barrels of at least fifty dub cannons. "Sure, you can come and get me…after you've gotten past my wall of dubbers! BWA HA HA HA HA HA! BWA HA HA HA HA! BWA-"

"He's going to be laughing for awhile…" said Asuka.

"Oh! It's another villain union thing, right?" asked Shou.

"No, he just seems like a total egomaniac…" said Asuka.

"ATTACK MY BRAINWASHED PAWNS OF DOOM!" screamed Leon triumphantly.

"Hey! We're not brainwashed pawns!" yelled one of the dubbers. "We're acting on our own free will!"

"Shut up and kill them," said Leon.

"Yes master," said the pawn.

"Bring it on!" said Tish.

"I like fruit!" said Bianca.

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" screamed Mobster, ASV, and Double S.

Facing facing our deaths,

Inescapable demise!

Five buck's says that it's painful!

Blah blah blah blah blah blah!

WAHEDAHODEAHADEHA-

"May hoards of flower pixies guide us to safer pastures!" said Joey triumphantly.

"What?" asked Yugi, Tristan, and Tea.

"NOT SO FAST!" said Goth Loli Fubuki-chan.

"Hey! That was the last chapter!" said Leon angrily.

"Oh…whoops…" said Goth Loli Fubuki-chan. "ANYOO, I SHALL DEFEAT YOU WITH THE POWER OF PSEDO-GOTH!"

"You're never going to let this die are you?" asked Ryou.

"SILENCE STRANGER OF WHOM I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE!" said Fubuki, pulling out a random playing card. "I ACTIVATE THE 'DEUS EX MACHINA' CARD!"

POOF!

Suddenly, all of the cult members turned into small, fluffy, white bunnies.

"DARN YOU AND YOUR LITTERARY TECHNIQUES!" yelled Leon on his platform. "Well fought, foolish mortals, WELL FOUGHT INDEED! But now, the time is at hand…NOW YOU SHALL ALL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT-"

"-of a four foot four twelve year old," finished Dartz dully.

"SHUT UP!" said Leon, shaking his fist angrily. "You may not fear my power now, but you will learn! YOU WILL LEARN! I WILL MAKE YOU ALL LEARN! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! ONE BY ONE! BWA HA HA HA HA!"

"Runt," said Asuka.

"I SAID SHUT UP!" yelled Leon. "Now…SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME POWERS ACTIVATE!"

With that, he cackled maniacally, as a huge, sinister light seemed to slowly gather around him, growing bigger and bigger and brighter and brighter with every laugh.

"FOOLS!" he said. "Now, with my super special awesome powers, watch, as before your very eyes…I GROW A WHOLE INCH! GWA HA HA HA HA! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! I AM INVINCIBLE! I AM-"

BAM!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Leon got pegged square between the eyes…with Happy the Magic Can Opener.

At the sound of a humongous 'OW' and a 'thump-thump-thumpity-thumpity-thump' of Leon tumbling backwards down the platform stairs, all eyes suddenly swam their way across the room, until all of them were looking at Marik, who looked quite proud of himself.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but that creepy girl was getting really annoying," said Marik, suddenly gasping in surprise, picking up a slightly damp sponge. "SPONGEY! YOU'RE ALIVE!"

BAM!

"FREEZE PUNKS!" said a couple of police officers, busting through the door. "You're all under arrest for breaking and entry, crossing the 'Employees Only' door, creating a super evil cult in the basement of a restaurant without a license, but most of all, continuing a fanfiction long after you've jumped the shark!"

"Why is it that the police always arrive right after the critical point?" asked Shou.

"Un-i-ons," said Asuka.

"Oh…" said Shou.

"DON'T SAY THE KID'S NAME VIC!" screamed The Bishop, busting through the doorway with his companions.

"…I'm going to pretend I didn't see that," said Asuka.

"Well, looks like we've finally busted this darn pencil cult," said the police chief, as more police officers rushed in to dust for finger prints and fire up all the cop show cameras. "And taking down their crazy cult leader. Wooooooo…looks like another open and shut case for Detective Inspector Fuzzykins."

"Hey, we did all the work!" said Odion. "You can't just come and take all the credit!"

"Oh really?" said the police officer. "And can you PROVE that you did the work Mr. Fuzzy-uzzy-umpkin pants?"

"…actually, I can," said Odion. "You see, the REAL hero of the day is-"

"What the-WAIT A MINUTE!" screamed Marik, throwing the sponge angrily to the ground. "YOU AREN'T SPONGEY! YOU AREN'T SPONGEY AT ALL! HELP! HELP! IMPOSTER! SPONGEY! WHERE ARE YOU? SPONGEEEEEEEEEEEEEY?"

"…oh never mind," said Odion.

"Mr. Marik Ishtar?" asked Tish, to a sobbing Marik who was on the ground in a fetal position, rolling and crying in pain. "Uh…Mr. Ishtar…"

"SPONGEY!"

"Mr. Ishtar?"

"YOU WERE SO YOUNG!"

"Mr. Ishtar?"

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO!"

"Mr. Ishtar!"

"POR QUA?"

"MR. ISHTAR!"

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M GREAVING STUPID WOMAN?" yelled Marik at the top of his lungs in Tish's uncaring face.

"Mr. Ishtar, I'm an agent representing Supplementary Tactical Unraveling and Persecution of Insane Delinquents," said Tish, holding out her badge. "I've come because you are currently wanted as an offender of the law."

"So…much…emotional…trauma…" said Marik faintly.

"March 18th…Detroit…you owe them a library book…as have you been for three months…" said Tish, to a twitching Marik. "Your total amount owed is $81.42. Pay in full, or we shall contact you again."

Marik continued to do nothing but twitch.

"That's it, I'm leaving," said Tish.

"Um…Ziggy…" said Leon, as he was being dragged away by a police officer. "I think I'm getting seven years without bail so…can you come and visit me once and awhile?"

"Well…alright…" said Ziggy. "Considering I'm not reading anything at the moment…and I haven't seen you in awhile, have I…"

"Ziggy…that…makes me so happy…" said Leon, his eyes getting huge.

"Shut up kid, you have a right to remain not gushy," said the cop, dragin Leon away, as two brothers were finally reunited.

---ooo---

"Well…looks like everything's cleaned up here…" said Asuka. "If I know Chronos, he's probably got a massive bill waiting for us when we get back…but that's alright. We managed to get all of this straightened out…and that's all that matters."

"Wow…it's really been a long day, hasn't it?" asked Shou.

"It's good to see it over, that's for sure," said Asuka. "Of course…we're going to have to file that we missed managing to prevent the demoness of the apocalypse from escaping the space-time continuum, wreaking havoc, and overall being a pain…"

"FWIENDS?" screamed Seta, bouncing into the cult room with a smile on her face. "Hey! Where is everyone? Where have all my friends gone?"

There was silence, as Asuka and Shou just stared in panic at the horrible creature.

"Oh poo!" said Seta. "Don't tell me that the battle got fought and stuff before I had a chance to come help? Boooo….that stiiiiinks…oh well! At least I can make all of his silly machines go bye-bye!"

With that, she pointed at all the high tech dubbing equipment, causing all of it to exploded.

"Wow, I had a lot of fun today!" said Seta, waving at Asuka and Shou. "Thanks a lot guys, it's been a blast! But I got to go back home now! Tell everyone I said hiiiiiiii!"

With that, a pink portal opened out of nowhere, and with a smile and one last violent wave, Seta hopped through the portal, causing it to disappear, as Shou and Asuka just starred at the patch of air where it used to be in silence.

…

"And now we don't have to…" Asuka said.

"Yay?" said Shou.

---ooo---

"Bianca! I was worried!" said Seto. "I thought I was going to actually need to do something compassionate and break up that fight! So…why do you look so sad?"

Bianca stared at Seto with great, big tears in her eyes.

"Bianca…are you okay?" asked Seto. "Bianca…hello? Bianca…"

"I'm sorry Korean Kid…" Bianca, said, pointing something that looked like a tiny suction cup, firing right on Seto's forehead.

Long story short, it was lights out baby.

"Hey…I know it's hard, but erasing his memory was the right thing…" said Tish, patting Bianca on the back.

"I'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN!" screamed Bianca at the top of her lungs.

"Pineapple?" asked Tish, holding out the strange fruit.

"YAY!" said Bianca, snatching it out of her hands and giving it a big hug.

---ooo---

"WOW! THAT WAS SO AWESOME HOW I TOTALLY BURNED THAT LITTLE GIRL!" said Marik, as Odion was tucking him into bed.

"Yes yes, good for you," said Odion dully. "Now hurry up and go to sleep, 'Grey's Anatomy' will be on any minute."

"Okay, goodnight Odion!" said Marik. "Goodnight Millenium Pu-"

Marik suddenly stopped.

"WE DIDN'T GET THE MILLENIUM PUZZLE!" he screamed in horror.

"Briliant Holmes," said Odion.

"NO! THIS IS SO AWFUL!" screamed Marik. "NO! BAD! BAD MARIK! NOOOOOOOOO!"

"Just go to sleep!" said Odion. "Or I'll read you about Mary Moo-Moo-Refrigerator and how she saved all the GE appliances in Low-carb land!"

"WAIT! I GOT AN IDEA!" said Marik. "Remember that creepy girl?"

"No, I just forgot her," said Odion, rolling his eyes.

"Maybe…WE SHOULD MAKE A CULT TOO!" said Marik. "But we'll make them wear PURPLE! 'Cause purple matches my beautilicious eyes!"

"Oh…Ra…" said Odion. "Here we go again…"

WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYONE WHEN ALL THIS WAS OVER

YUGI

Yugi continued to play games like a madman, and he continued to be somewhat of a wussy-boy all of his days. However, he never knew that the next time he'd be facing the creepy Egyptian kid who did everything from cross-dress to impersonate a dead doctor would be when said kid would turn into a homicidal maniac. However, he sorted out everything in the end (with the help of his somewhat homicidal alter-ego), and soon, he and Marik became friends. Not like, best buds, share clothes, go-to-the-movies-every-day kind of friends, but you know what we mean.

JOEY

His intelligence never really did improve over the years, and in fact, it continued to take its dramatic roll downhill, until his ability to live without a drop of common sense became nothing short of a medical marvel. Regardless, he still managed to live a happy life, constantly following Yugi around, and still suspecting that random people are being telepromted by howler monkeys. However, in the light of this entire experience, when he became a senior, not once did he ever budge in front of an underclassmen during pizza rolls day. Every other day, however, was fair game.

TEA

Tea eventually became successful in her quest to find friends who weren't screaming loonies and idiots. However, she never could bring herself to completely ditch her high school friends, and she remained by their sides until their graduation, and then sometime thereafter. She and Yugi continued a firm friendship, one that grew closer as time past. Her love of dance, too, matured over the years, and she continues to study as hard as she can to one day 'break into the business' on the stage.

TRISTAN

Tristan lived the rest of his life the same way he had lived it all his life: frighteningly similar to, yet always in the shadows of, Joey. Despite it, he lived a pretty good life…we think. Also, we are very pleased and very thankful to announce that his crossdressing days are officially over (thankful sigh).

RYO

Alas, Ryo would have to go through a suitable period of time when he had to put up with a bad-tempered and homicidal evil spirit. However, after countless maiming and unthinkable emotional stress, the day finally came when he was free from his imprisonment. The first thing he did with this freedom was get a job at Ben and Jerry's. Why? No one knows.

SETO

He continued to selflessly dedicate himself to KaibaCorp, though as time went by, he slowly relaxed and became a little less uptight, and even came to terms with the idea that the sun is not your enemy. However, he never remembered a single thing from his brief crush with Bianca the dim-witted redhead, and whether or not he would truly ever find love again remains a mystery. However, he successfully completed his high school career with very little incident otherwise, surprising, considering so many people seem to want to kill him.

SERENTY

Serenity was never in this story, and thus, she doesn't need to be in this section.

VALON

Valon didn't receive any additional intelligence as time went on, but his charisma and silly accent were always needed somewhere. He remained faithful to the Doom Bikers, and constantly visited them throughout the rest of his life, usually when they were having company, were on vacation and not there, or in the shower. He was the only Doom Biker who actually continued to ride a motor bike in his 90's.

ALISTER

Alister 'Alice' never quite got over being uptight, and being bound to the service of idiots. Valon still believed him to be his best friend, despite many times Alister told him not to, and despite dozens of restraining orders. However, he, very slowly, lost the grip he had on his grudge with Seto Kaiba, and eventually came to terms with his life in general. He still wore athletic shirts that were reminiscent of sports bras for a long time after though. This, too, age corrected.

RAPHAEL

Raffy remained the buff, pseudo-Italian, voice-two-octaves-below-normal he always was. He stayed in touch with the Doom Bikers all his life, and he never quite got over hero-worshiping his guardian cards. However, he started slowly giving up bad habits, like skipping out on his pills, and running Valon over with trucks.

DARTZ

Dartz, too, had a lot to overcome after the whole incident, mainly the fact that he was a ten thousand year old Atlantian. However, he eventually paid his Doom Bikers for their services, and, after awhile, slowly began to repair his relationship with his brothers and Uncle. He lost touch with the Doom Bikers, much to their happiness.

ZIGFRIED

He continued his life as a rich fancy-pants, and after a brief spat with the whole 'Kaiba' thing, turned more towards better things in life than sitting in nice baths and playing around with female cards. He eventually even died his hair a different color, so he didn't have to live with the shame of being a 'pink head'.

PEGASUS

Pegasus, too, went back to his fancy-pants lifestyle, and enjoyed the glamour of early retirement for all his days. He continued to randomly shower his family with love and inspiration, much to their displeasure. As an interesting fun fact, as he aged, his hair slowly changed from gray to straight black instead of the opposite. No one has figured out why.

LEON

Leon no longer was angry at his older brothers, and he no longer needed to do such drastic things, like almost taking over the world, to earn their love. He and Ziggy were close from then on, with occasional lapses, and he never even went near a dubber, or a pencil lover, any day from then on.

ASUKA

Asuka continued her work with her 'association', and continued to kick butt with a sane head. She also continued to keep an eye on Shou, though eventually, she let him spread his own wings and go his own way in life. She made a name for herself, and was eventually promoted to one of the top positions in the group. She was only lax in her duties when she had to dig her insane brother from whatever mess he got into on a regular basis.

SHOU

He too continued to work in the group, and eventually was able to make a name for himself with out Asuka's help. However, he was always still a bit timid, and often took out any repressed feelings by blowing up random vending machines. That being said, he always enjoyed his work, and was even allowed to be the supreme wielder of the Executioners Ax, much to everyone's horror.

FUBUKI

Bucky 10-Join lived his life in insane bliss, judging by the goofy smile that was forever plastered on his face. Of course, not wanting such supreme insanity go to waste, he eventually went into politics. He was the soul founder of the 'People Who Wear Silly Outfits and Giggle At Random and Sometimes Inappropriate Moments' (PWWSOGARSIM) party, and campaigned for respectable political terms like wearing comfy clothes, eating some form of desert every day, and women's right to vote, despite the fact that the last had been completed 100 years earlier (among ones that aren't easily respectable, such as violent and expensive campaigns against cruelty to ducks, portable incurable diseases, and of course his endorsement of Chunky Frog Toffee).

RYOU

Overall, it was eventually agreed among him and Asuka that he had suitably repaid the money he owed her through his actions, and thus, there was no longer a need for the button. However, he kept a close eye on everyone afterwards, and stayed in close contact with Asuka, Shou, and all the other members of the organization. However, he could never quite escape Fubuki's insanity, and often had PWWSOGARSIM fliers stuffed in his mailbox forever after. He also received various unaddressed envelopes that had 'Fat Kid' written on them, which he promptly would run through the shredder.

CHRONOS

He eventually cooled down over the pairings of his agents until retirement, but he silently fumed over lost battles for sometime before he did.

BIANCA

Bianca and Tish's friendship continued throughout their career with STUPID, and eventually, she became a very respectable agent among their numbers, despite the fact that her brain was still and remained as large as Paris Hitlon's personal library. She occasionally had lapses over her brief passing with Seto, however, she recovered suitably to date men as stupid as her, and her life was never devoid of love, friendship, adventure, and fruit.

TISH

Tish, too, had a lot to say good-bye to when leaving this adventure. However, her wit and ability soon became apparent, and she and her partner were easily promoted to more advanced jobs than tracking down people who hadn't turned in library books. Needless to say, after how much came from one simple mission, she accepted any mission instantly, and she was never devoid of excitement and, sadly, Bianca.

MOBSTER

Continued to scare the masses with her violent and reckless work, and she always stayed in close contact with ASV and Double S. While details of what happened to her after this story are sketchy, we can conclude that she's either became head of Homeland Security or a kindergarten teacher. Neither is very comforting. Great Britain still won't let her enter the country

ASV

Finally completed his training, and now is a full-fledged member of CMWGAA, as well as a respectable conscience. He never quite gave up the strap-on wings, considering them his safety blanket. However, from what was gathered, his future career in this field was successful, and earned him several honors for his services.

DOUBLE S

While it took a long time, he too eventually became a fully accepted member of CMWGAA. And while his title never became that of the prestige earned by ASV, he continued to work his hardest, and became well known as one of the most sensitive and well-loved case workers. He continued his friendship with his teammates from Team DT as well.

AZUSA-CHAN

She became one of the heads of the Equal Pay for Androids, and under her leadership, many rights were won for her and her robotic comrades. However, she remained attached to her 'Nii-san' forever, and visits him frequently, despite how many times he changes his address. She never forgot 'Nee-san' either, event though she never saw her again.

SETA

Seta safely made it back to her own dimension…or so they say. However, with all the frequent breaches in the dimensions, she could be roaming around this world for all we know. At times, Asuka still wakes up in absolute fear, swearing that she heard her voice. However, no matter where this insane figure lies, she continues to inspire (sort of) others with her ever present cry of 'FRIENDS!'

KA'AEWU

Our favorite plot bunny kept his promise never to steal away sanity again, and lived a good life, eventually managing to find a way to regain some his powers back in his true form of humanity. However, he still had a bit of devious streak, but his escapades rarely to any more severe forms than turning common crab grass into snakes to scare away girl scouts. However, his trade of supreme magic guaranteed him a mortal life, though after a suitable period of time, he didn't really mind that fact.

RED DWARF

DUMBARSE was eventually forced to disband after the graduation of Seto Kaiba and the loss of government funding for fangirls during the economic drop. However, she eventually found other men to obsess over, so she never was bored, even into her career life. She thanked her friend Ebony Crow a thousand times over for her various services to DUMBARSE, and they remained firm friends thereafter.

EBONY CROW

While the disbanding of DUMBARSE was a sad shock upon her life, she eventually began the long road to recovery from obsession, with the help and support from Red Dwarf of course. The emotional scars of being dubbed were not healed easily, but through strength and determination, she managed to press on with her life. To be honest though it took her quite a long time to stop wearing black and things that covered her face.

TOHRU HONDA THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC AND KISA SOHMA THE EQUALLY HOMICIDAL MANIAC

Both slowly began to find a happy median between cheerful young girl and kick butt P0W4H L4D33. It was a very long road, but they eventually became decently respected and somewhat less feared members of society. However, they both slept with a bazooka cannon under their pillows for the rest of their lives, because as we all know, old habits die hard.

YUKI AND KYO SOHMA, THE SOHMA BOIZ

They too became accepting of Tohru and Kisa's choices in life, and they too began to, slowly, do their own housework. It would take many, many years before either of them considered that they made suitable headway in this struggle. Yet it eventually became enough that one could walk into either of their rooms without passing out in shock and horror.

THE ALIEN INVADERS

The deal they made to conquer the earth and enslave mankind eventually fell through, thanks to the timeless work of the UN ambassadors, but mostly after they saw the state of the earth today. They took one good look at the ozone layer, and they quickly voided the deal as fast as they could.

ODION

Odion, sadly, was bound to Marik's service for the rest of his days. While he never admitted it, he received many job offerings that ranged from gas pumper to UN Ambassador, and he just simply turned down every offer made to him. The more romantic sort would say that it was because he truly loved Marik and wanted to take care of him for the rest of his life. The more realistic sort would see him as one who made a promise to his adopted mother, and was determined to keep it, and of course, the more practical ones say that he simply couldn't bear the thought of Marik getting killed in nasty ways, as he knew he would simply by partaking in this adventure.

MARIK

Marik's desire to take over the world continued for a long time afterwards, as did his constant search for the millennium puzzle. As history tells us, he was true to his style, and failed miserably. However, the entire experience really proved that he occasionally has good ideas, and it boosted his pride immensely. After all was said and done, he applied his great ability to scheme into the real world, and once in a blue moon, one or two of them would actually turn out to be good, and out of this small handful, a few actually worked. Nevertheless, he lived a good, long life, and continued to recklessly endanger it. Why Odion didn't die years sooner of a heart attack is beyond mortal comprehension.

That being said, all who partook this adventure looked back on this tale as a major turning point in their careers. Well…some did. Most people just retell it again every once and awhile for a good laugh. That being said…it was a good laugh, wasn't it? So for all who care, I hope that you enjoyed this tale to the fullest. Good night, good fortune, and may insanity bless you all of your days.

The End
