The Dicks and Chick Venture Out

"How long does it take again?" inquired Gungho. "About 10 hours" Reaper hastily replied. Markg slowly interrupted" No, no, 12 hours, you two aren't including our stop at the border patrol where they will make us check in our Artillery." "Yeah , yeah" Gungho and Reaper said in unison.

"Hey, aren't we forgetting someone?" piped up Mavrik. Gungho speaks up " Well DUH- yeah... Asmo ; but remember, he doesn't like sunlight too much. Personally I think he's allergic to it and that's why he loves prowling about at night." Twitching nervously Markg slams down his ninth cup of coffee spiked with Bailey's Irish Cream. " Hey; think we should wake up the others now?" Reaper asks while glaring at the demolished ruins of Niagara Falls. "Sure, why the hell not" Markg quickly replies.

Meanwhile CHINGON, Suede and Sick Puppy are crashed out together in the tattered twin foldout bed. *THUMP* Sick Puppy yelps loudly as Mavrik pushes him out of bed. " Hey! it is true " exclaims Mavrik, " the bigger they are; the harder they fall!". Suede slowly opens up one eye and tries to regain his vision only to see CHINGON reach over to the edge of the bed for his "map collection". CHIN quickly sits upright and yells " Who in the hell has been peaking at the newest , virgin maps?" "Those are strictly For Official Use Only" Markg yells to the back of the latest model Elf " It must have been Smider!" CHIN scratches his head and thinks for a moment " Couldn't have been Smider, he's over 500 miles away" Gungho stares at CHIN for several moments and replies " Well.... you know Smider...". CHIN quickly replaces the maps into their respected folder and grabs his Hooked on Phonics book. " Lesson 2...." Immediately Reaper screams ; cutting off CHIN's current sentence " NO, NO.. shut the hell up; we don't do those lessons.... remember?" CHIN takes a deep breath, sets his book aside and lays back down. " One day, one day ..... I will teach you Dicks and Chick proper grammar" CHIN mumbles.

"So, you think this new pad that McGoo and Smider found for us is gonna work?" asks Reaper. " Well if it doesn't, then we'll just have to drag them out and go looking all together for a place" Gungho quickly replies. Suede scratches his head " So, tell me; how in the hell are we going to fit both Glynis and CS in here; hell we are sleeping three to a bed in shifts" "Well I sure don't mind" Reaper says with a big grin on his face. "Yeah but you get to sleep with Gungho and Markg" Suede replies while shooting an annoying look to Reaper. Mavrik stares at Suede for several moments and replies" I didn't think Glynis ever went to sleep, I thought he gets his rest by reading that great Insult book of his" "Well, we'll manage to cram them into this Elf somehow" Markg mutters quickly; the coffee obviously taking its toll. "Why don't we just trade this in for one of those new, unstoppable Metal Knights?" Gungho asks while staring at the makeshift road. Markg glares in the rear view mirror at Gunny, takes a deep breath and simply says " Because we can't afford one of those unless you have some extra cash stashed away in that Swiss bank account of yours". Sick Puppy turns to Gunny and mutters " Could you all just be quiet for ten minutes, I have a serious hang over and you dicks are not helping it any."

Suede; at this point is all excited " I know where we can get some cash at; just stop at the nearest bank, they'll gladly give us all we need for that new Metal Knight" "Sorry, but the MK police have been waiting for you to strike again and we can't risk losing you and your map secrets" Markg quickly adds.

" HEY MARKG" Reaper screams " Isn't this where we need to turn to pick up CS and Glynis?" Markg stomps on the brakes, tires squeal and the Elf veers to the right. "It sure is" Markg yells; almost out of breath.

The loaded Elf pulls into the drive of Glynis' latest home. Glynis' so-called home was an old hospital that was nuked during one of the many intense MK battles. Glynis sticks his head out the hole that was once a door and yells " Hey Tools!; about damn time you got your sorry asses up here!" " Me and CS were just going over some MK map secrets he managed to steal from the Map Creators. " CS stumbles out and squints his eyes to see what all the noise was " Oh it's you dicks and of course the Chick" Markg looks hard at Glynis and CS and tells the others " Christ; they've been hitting the bottle again and are as drunk as can be" " Well come on boys; time to hit the road; McGoo and Smider are expecting us and I hear they have a new recruit called Arni to introduce us to"

Glynis and CS climb into the Elf and find a seat. The Elf pulls off into the horizon.

Many more adventures lie ahead.
