Chapter 7 The Whale, The Executioner

After a short sprint down the hall, the duo finally reaches a closed door and a keypad at the end of the corridor. Not even stopping for an instant, the toaster quickly enters a number on the keypad and the door briskly opens, showing view of a dark room with a dazzling view of the endless expanse of space.

In the center of the room Whale the Whale barely makes out the dark silhouette of a large throne on a pedestal, facing away from him. Long tubes run from the sides of the seat, connecting to the platform pumping fluids, nutrients, and what appears to be a mixture of horse tranquilizer and Mountain Dew.

Whale the Whale hears a large booming voice say, "What is it you want, peon?" The small toaster steps forward and says "S…sorry to interrupt you sir, but this whale here wants us to land! He's already killed half of the security on the east wing and I'm afraid he'll finish us off if we don't give him what he wants!"

This is followed by a short moment of silence. "M…master, what should w…" The toaster begins, before being cut off by a cold, lifeless force that grasps onto his throat and begins to choke him. "I find your lack of faith disturbing," the voice says as the toaster is wrestled to the floor, grasping his neck with his power cord and fighting for every breath.

Finally the evil presence lets loose of the frightened toaster's neck, leaving him exhausted on the ground. Whale the Whale quickly turns his eyes back to the throne, as it lingeringly turns around and reveals a large convection oven, "Toastmaster" written on it's control panel.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know of my power?" Said Toastmaster the Convection Oven, "I have served many great men, and I have risen against them all, leaving them kneeling before me as I cut them down! Trebek, Oprah, Sanders, even an overweight kid that lived in a doublewide and wrote fanfiction about whales couldn't hope to stop me. Now you dare to stand before me and defy my will?"

"Yeah, I think I will," says Whale the Whale as he enters his fighting stance. Toastmaster laughs and says "Fine, I shall use you as an example for all those who disobey me!" The convection oven then leaps through the air, heading straight for Whale the Whale. The whale stands there, not even flinching as Toastmaster rushes straight for him.

A mere inches from the whale's face, Toastmaster stops in midair and falls to the ground as his dual pronged power cord flies from the socket in the wall, leaving him lifeless. The toaster looks up to see the result and says, "Y…you won?"

The confused whale just stares at the lifeless convection oven, as his power cord lie disconnected on the ground. He then looks back at the toaster's not lifeless body, and then at his disconnected power cord, then back at the convection oven's power cord, and once more at the toaster's power cord.

Whale the Whale begins to open his mouth, but before he even gets out a word the ship rumbles and begins to tip over.

"The ship's losing control, we have to get out of here!" says the frightened toaster.

"Wait, how the hell did we break the ship?" replies Whale the Whale.

"You killed the captain, he was controlling the ship!"

"With what, his mind?"

"Yeah…sure, that plot device will work."

"What?"

"Nevermind. You need to come with me, the royal escape pod is in this room!"

Whale the Whale and the nameless toaster quickly leap into the escape pod on the far left side of the room and jettison themselves to Earth. As they slowly step out from the vehicle, they find themselves in a vast, endless desert. To the north they notice a massive mountain range, and more importantly, they notice Toastmaster's ship crashing into said mountain range.

Whale the Whale turns to the toaster and says "Get moving, we've got a long way to go"
