Everyone came at to the S.P.C. with the recent news article. "The New Pork Times?!" Wookie said, sipping coffee. "So it's not the Enquirer. Could this be Park Ranger's doing again?" "Do you really have to ask?" Pz said, in a corner. "He's still at large." Erocook came in with a throbbing hangover. "Look at this." Steve said to him, throwing the magazine. He looked at it as best as he could. "Even that situation with Fuwa is here." Noone came in. "Speak of the devil. Look at this." Noone and Erocook looked at the paper.
"Well, shit." Both said in unison.
In an office, the wide man with the smile was looking out his window. "They all know now. THEY ALL KNOW!" He began to laugh. "Mr. Minch, you have a call." Said the assistant. "Ooh la-la, thank you my dear girl." He picked up the line. "Hello?"
"The staff of Single Fragment fighting is a golden opportunity." Said the person on the other line. "I'm going to get the Fan Club ready for the next phase." "Ooh la-la, you are really going out with this, are you not?"
"I have to. They took something from me I'll never get back. Or should I say…
That one person."
Beiki was ready to sue yet again. However, he had little knowledge of the chief editor of The New Pork Times. He knew it was the work of Park Ranger. "So what to do about this guy?" He said to himself. "Maybe we send someone to sniff around?" His face lit up.
"Yeah, that'll do. That'll do nicely. I'm sure he can do it."
Pz was the one Beiki sent to investigate. He really had no leads. However, there was a loud commotion around the corner, in front of a stadium. The one from before, Minch was on a loudspeaker.
"Single Fragment is a gateway play of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive drama and SILLINESS. The normal person can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the show itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for virgin losers, pansies, immature teens and idiots who engage in every kind of degeneracy both before and after performances. The SuperCola Powered airship trying its hardest to look not uncool, the gimmicks, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole pirate bullshit…"
He went on for a while more before Pz literally left the scene. "That dude is nuts." He said. But I now know who's responsible for that newspaper."
"So, our play is a gateway play?" Erocook said. "Supposedly. Whatever that's supposed to mean." Winnosh came in. "Hey, Mika discovered something interesting." He said. "Look the sales list for the local area's plays." A list of the plays shown was on the middle of the magazine. At the very bottom, was a play, Leaf Society. "Look at the special thanks section." Beiki took a look and noticed something.
"P.R. So that's what this is all about." He thought.
"I've seen Leaf Society." Justice explained. "It showed promise in the beginning but then the rival of the hero became the focus. He and his family and his tribe took over and the characters that were actually interesting get the background focus." "And it tanked hard." Walter said. "And now Park wants the most popular play, Single Fragment to go down." Snake came in. Everyone became silent. "Hey, everyone." He said. Erocook came out of his room. There was a long stare down amongst the two.
"I just came to get my things." Snake said.
"We still gotta do the show, and we can't do it without you, Snake." Erocook said.
"But, you also deserve to go on with your life."
Snake looked at his friend for a moment. "…I'll never forget what this place did for all of us." He said, looking misty-eyed. "Let's make these last few performances worth it." He smiled and gave his hand out. Erocook walked to him and grabbed it in agreement. He smiled.
Outside of the S.C.P. were a group of people with black hair and red eyes. They had on capes. In the middle, was a man with a wolf mask on, tail and all. "…Now!"
The group swarmed the airship and broke their way inside with finesse. "Who the hell are you?"
"We are…The Fan Club!"
"That clan I was talking about just now from Leaf Society!" Justice said. "So Park Ranger sent you?"
"No, not him."
"Then who?"
"Another. Seize this airship!" The Fan Club swarmed the S.C.P., subduing the cast. Wookie came out of his room, seeing the altercation. He yawned. "Wolf! There's a large hairy man ready to attack!" Said a Fan. "Attack the large hairy man!" The Fan Club swarmed him. "Help! Help!" Wookie screamed. "That large build and he's a coward…" Brolax said.
Later, Wolf was on a cell phone. "We have everyone." He said. "Ooh-la-la, I did not think you could do it!" It was Minch. "I am coming over right now!" "Hey, Wookie." Noone said. When Snake leaves, you can play the coward." "Too hairy." Wookie replied. From the sky, came a helicopter. From near the S.C.P. docking area, was Fuwa. She saw the copter land. "Hm? What's going on?" Minch dashed towards the entrance. "He's here." Said a fan.
Minch came in and looked the place over. "YOU!" Beiki yelled. "You were with Park!" "Ooh, la-la. You have a nice place here." He said, smiling. "So this is where the famous Single Fragment is written and performed at, yes?"
"What do you want with us?" Snake asked. "Sacre Bleu, I need to introduce myself. I am known as Pokey Minch. I am the right hand man of the great and well-respected Park Ranger." He looked at his watch. "Oh, it is time for dinner! But I need to watch these peasants!" Pokey panicked a little. "Hey, Wolf. Be a dear and watch these fools for me while I have my venison." "Park told you to stay here and gather the scripts!" Wolf whispered to him. Pz heard him. "But Lemon-Peppered reindeer calls me…No, no, no!" He pulled out a phone. "I must order a pizza, then."
"No pizza! We need those scripts!" Wolf demanded.
"Scripts? Wait a minute, are you trying to-" Pokey looked at Steve.
"Yes. We are going to sabotage Single Fragment." He smiled creepily.
