Percival Phoenix and the Promise of Tomorrow

[cityship]

Last time on Percival Phoenix:
Though the armies of Nuon and the Blood Queen seemed overwhelming in number, PERCIVAL PHOENIX (and also the rescue team) managed to divert the attack, instead striking directly at the lieutenants of Dr. Lady Deathtruction NEUTRO™! Through their combined efforts, they freed both from the doctor's evil mind control. And yet, two crew members still remain. With no choice but to infiltrate the fortress of the dreaded Lash Dr. Lady Deathtruction NEUTRO™, they venture valiantly forth!

Will they be able to save their friends before the Death Ray becomes fully operational?

And now, the conclusion!

MEANWHILE!



It appeared that Daisy was no longer in the trio of cages like before. In fact, she was now tied up to the head of the Giant Death Raygun™ that DR. LADY DEATHTRUCTION NEUTRO™ had been bragging about for the past few hours with enough rope that she couldn't move or get out. Why hadn't she gagged her prisoner remained a mystery, but there the poor Daisy Duke rested, her clothing half torn with nothing beyond PG-13, thankfully (just enough to be barely scandalous!)

"A HAHAHAHAHA HAAA HAAAA!" The Lady laughed with all the oomph a mad villain should be explained to laugh with. "With this Giant Death Raygun™ ALL my plans will be fulfilled! I will finally be able to blow up everything all my heart's desire, and never have to think about the consequences! And after it is mounted on my Death Fortress™ nothing will be able to stop me! NOTHING!"

[encourage]

Struggling was proving futile, if part of Sakura wondered at the practice of trying to make her into a living PG-13 figurehead was really necessary. "Responsibility is important to accept!" she cried out, negligible bosom heaving in distress of the truly tied down. "And you're telling us all

How this much bondage was slipping by the censors, she had no idea. Creative styling counted for a lot. "Your reckless ways will catch up with you, you dastardly Doctor!" Struggling in a beautifully pitiful fashion, she searched her brain for some solution. Percival would be here, she had no doubt, and his kind of not as cool as him companions, the Rag Tag band that always triumphed and then never had a successful sequel.

Wait! Maybe Percival's brethren in name would come to her assistance! She whistled some half-forgotten tune almost morosely.

A pigeon flapped onto the Giant Death Raygun™, settling down on the surface. Fluffing a few feathers, it strutted around, pooped, then flew away again.

Sakura had nothing to say in the face of that. Stupid casting directors .

"Recklessness? No, no my girl, THIS. IS. PROGRESS!"" As an example of progress, she kicked down another red shirt that was just standing close to the death ray as he fell down to his doom. "Haaa haa ha ha ha ha ha haaa! At this very moment my minions are reducing your precious excuse of a man into nothing but a flat little pancake! You will see his bloody remains soon!"

[encourage]

"You're reducing minions faster than they're even getting close to touching Percival," she pointed out. "The only one making pancakes is you, and they're not even edible by polite society's standards!"

[thewunderkind]

"Quiet!" She looked around for a suitable gag but found none. Damn. "I will make all the delicious pancakes that I want with maple syrup and they will be far more delicious than anything you have ever tasted!" She raised one of her fists to the sky.

"Once I reduce the moon of this world into nothing more than a little dust memory!"

[encourage]

"That's terrible!" she cried. "Think of what you're doing to the poor dolphins!"

[thewunderkind]

"They should have grown arms and legs and learned to walk like everyone else if they didn't want to die!"

And then just to prove she was evil again, she let out another evil laugh.

[encourage]

"They went back to the oceans after learning how to walk on land! Your argument makes no sense at all, just like your delusions of actually winning!"

[thewunderkind]

Oh you did not just call her on a poor judgement of words.

"SILENCE! I will decide what the dolphins have been before. Either way they should be on land and not water if they didn't want to die!"

[encourage]

Sakura flinched, not that it did much. Tears streaked down her face as she thought of those poor fuzzy dolphins.

Yes, fuzzy.

"You're planning on killing everything on land, too! Who's your editor? They should be fired for allowing all these glaring inconsistencies to make it through to the final edit of your master evil plan!"

[thewunderkind]

"I AM my own editor, you sniveling idiot!" The Lady pressed a bit more buttons so that the giant raygun slowly moved to point towards the sky. And we do mean slowly, at this rate it would take at the very least an hour to charge properly!

[encourage]

"Oh."

She sniffed, then rolled her eyes. "You should really fire yourself and hire a competent one. Maybe a speech writer too. Did you know Percy took a class on speech writing? It was an act of community service, for the class. He was amazing at inspiring people..."

Of course, the slow movement of the raygun attracted her attention. Sakura breathed in deeply, and shouted, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

When she ran out of breath, the raygun still was moving. So she breathed in again and continued her haunting cry against the injustice of, well, avoidable death and dolphin destruction.

[thewunderkind]

DR. LADY DEATHTRUCTION NEUTRO™ was now glad that she had prepared for such a situation. Those Evil Earplugs™ had never been shoved into her ears with such vigor.

Enjoy the silence.
