A/N Hi everyone! I've been watching a lot of Mythbusters today, so what's a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet? Give up, Arrrrrrrr! Sorry couldn't resist, anyway I was thinking, not all of these need a cause, after all like chapter 5, if you are stupid enough to do something that can kill you then… anyway, a little Aaron and Jenkins at the beginning.

Aaron looked up at Hojo wincing, "what do you mean we don't get the funding?"

"Simple, you are asking for money, I am not giving it," Hojo replied handing Aaron the paper back; he'd just ripped it in two neatly.

Aaron was shaking, Jenkins put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "come on man, it's no big deal, we've still got some money left. Oh and Professor, this is for you," he set a brightly wrapped package on the table.

Hojo glared at him, "this isn't another one of your shenanigans is it?"

Jenkins shook his head, "nah I'm on the honest path now. Open it."

Hojo carefully unwrapped the paper into a single sheet moving the underlying box away; he folded the paper and put it in the trash. He pulled the box back over pulling out a clear bottle with blue liquid and a green stick in it. He set it down and pulled out an hourglass shaped lamp with an extension cord trailing out of it, and a little cup shaped device. "What is it?"

Aaron, having calmed down, smiled, "lava lamp, if you heat up the wax in the bottle until it melts then put it over the light in the base it gets the wax gelatinized and it floats."

"Hmm…" Hojo thought for a moment, "gentlemen I expect you back to work right away." With that he packed up his lava lamp and walked out of the room.

A few minutes later Hojo was back in his apartment with his new lava lamp, he set the components down on a table pulling out the instructions. He glared at the lamp components and started to read the directions out loud. "Groovy dude, you have totally gotten your new lava lamp, if you're reading this then you must be a total drag. Anyway, enough yapping you're too ready to see your psychedelic lamp get all tripy. First you gotta make the stick go adios, so put the plug in the wall and the lamp on top then in no time at all you'll be the grooviest dude or chick on the block."

Hojo chucked the manual in the garbage as well; he picked up the glass container with the wax in it. His free hand plugged in the base and he set the glass down on the base waiting for the wax to melt. He put the cone top on the lamp and sat there waiting for the supposed show to start up. Three hours later and nothing had happened and Hojo was getting frustrated, it was obviously a dud. He decided to try one more thing before he gave up and sacked Aaron and Jenkins, he walked over to the stove and turned it on. He grabbed the cold glass of the lamp and put it on the stove and walked away feeling nature calling. Five minutes later he walked out of the bathroom into the kitchen before there was an explosion. Glass shrapnel went everywhere, a large nasty chunk stabbed Hojo through the heart while several others hit him elsewhere. While he was gone the pressure in the bottle had sky rocketed and turned it into a weapon.
