Everyone returned to Beyond City in grand style. The TARDIS arrived the instant the Transformers exited the rift and Health and Death were the first ones out. \u201cLady Health, welcome!\u201d greeted Megumi. \u201cI\u2019m Megumi Hishikawa, head of the Feudal Nerd Society!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA pleasure to meet a friendly face,\u201d said Health. \u201cAnd a welcome change from having to deal with the Daleks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaleks?\u201d asked Megumi. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think,\u201d called the Doctor, \u201cyou\u2019re in for quite a story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the meantime,\u201d said Death, \u201cI need to reacquaint Health with our sisters and introduce her to Lacey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou go ahead,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cAnd after the story, Doctor, could you PLEASE convince my husband his project needs a lot of work!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Project?\u201d asked the Doctor with trepidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Death and Health arrived at the Horsemen\u2019s mansion. Health took a deep breath, then released it slowly. \u201c\u2026Home, sweet home,\u201d she sighed happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll that\u2019s left is Order,\u201d said Death, \u201cthen the sisterhood is reunited!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMinus Chaos,\u201d remarked Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMinus the original Chaos, yes, but there\u2019s a new Chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is?!\u201d Health opened the door. She almost crashed into Pestilence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, easy there, la-!\u201d Pestilence stopped when she saw her opposite. \u201cHEALTH!\u201d By now, everyone heard her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHealth, welcome back!\u201d said Bounty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat to have you back!\u201d greeted Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great to BE back, girls!\u201d replied Health. She then saw Lacey. \u201c\u2026A human?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFORMER human,\u201d said Lacey. \u201cI\u2019m Lacey Thanatos Atmadja, the new Chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve clearly adjusted well to being the new Chaos!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt took some training, but I used to come from The Simpsons<\/em> and-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat world with mustard yellow people with overbites?\u201d asked Health. \u201cThe chaos there must have helped you adjust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNever really liked my old home,\u201d remarked Lacey, \u201cand was raised by an asshole dad, so it wasn\u2019t that big of a decision to leave my old life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh, that makes sense. \u2026So, why the Indonesian surname?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat would be because I\u2019m married to a Mobian Komodo Dragon, Dr. Agus Atmadja.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026And\u2026he\u2019s okay with you not being a normal-?\u201d Health stopped her question abruptly when she saw Famine trying to stealthily accept something. Everyone else turned to see that Famine was still getting pasta dishes! Once Famine shut the door, she turned and realized everyone saw the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d she protested as she tried to hide the comically tall stack of pasta dishes behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018What?\u2019\u201d Death repeated mockingly. \u201cGot a boyfriend delivering it all to you?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow many has she had?\u201d asked Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c20 dozen stacks that tall, so far,\u201d muttered Lacey. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna go bankrupt at this rate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRichard, this looks like it was built by Ogrons!\u201d The Doctor said once she examined the Spectacular. Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle were standing next to Megumi\u2019s Legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, come on!\u201d protested Richard. \u201cI thought you of all people would appreciate it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecause of the jury-rigs she used to fix the TARDIS on numerous occasions?\u201d snarked Batman. \u201cAt least they work until she can make proper repairs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, there\u2019s no way this thing should move at all!\u201d agreed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour assessment, Doctor?\u201d asked Megumi when she joined the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell-,\u201d said the Doctor. Richard didn\u2019t let her finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhile the Doctor found a few minor issues,\u201d he said, \u201cshe agreed that if I were to put the Spectacular into production, I would make a fortune!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Doctor?\u201d asked Megumi incredulously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t say that,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook, I did the math!\u201d protested Richard. \u201cThe Grand Caravan was 2,500 studs, the Chrysler Pacifica was 3,000, the Tesla was 60,000, and the work was 70,000, that\u2019s 135,500 studs in total. I could sell this thing for 500,000 a pop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, you couldn\u2019t,\u201d muttered Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI could!\u201d insisted Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI must agree with Wyldstyle,\u201d remarked Gandalf. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, I could! A 2023 Phantom sells for almost 500,000 studs here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA 2023 Phantom,\u201d argued Batman, \u201cis a proper car built by Rolls-Royce!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExactly! What you have, Richard,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cis three scrap cars glued together by a Muppet with no engineering know-how!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook, the van isn\u2019t designed for people like you!\u201d snapped Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat, people with eyes?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople who dress themselves in the morning?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you exactly who\u2019ll buy this!\u201d declared Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOrcs from N\u00farn?\u201d asked Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, baseball players!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, they won\u2019t!\u201d protested Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBaseball players like Fords and Chevies!\u201d agreed Batman. \u201cEspecially their respective lines of pick-up trucks! Not that hunk of junk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?\u201d asked a voice. A Jaguar Mark X then arrived, and Michael stepped out of the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSee, THAT\u2019S a proper car!\u201d said Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh, discussing the Spectacular, hm?\u201d guessed Michael. \u201cOh, good lord, and you brought the Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDidn\u2019t exactly give it a ringing endorsement,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Now, your Jaguar\u2026\u201d Michael smiled and opened the hood (excuse me, bonnet) so the Doctor could see what\u2019s underneath. \u201cIs that a bi-radial catalyst engine?!\u201d she asked, clearly impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt IS a bi-radial catalyst engine!\u201d replied Michael. \u201cI took some design ideas from your car, Bessie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd you paid homage to her really well!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cThough that engine\u2019s not a cheap one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, building my Jag wasn\u2019t cheap. But it wasn\u2019t as expensive as I thought. In all, it took me about 385,000 studs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?!\u201d yelped Megumi and Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI know! That\u2019s a lot of car for only 38 and a half purple studs! Look at the size of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMichael, that\u2019s about 150,000\u2026\u201d Richard rechecked his math. \u201cNo, 250,000 studs more than I paid to get the Spectacular built!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat people carrier you cobbled together,\u201d replied Michael, \u201cis your embarrassing attempt to reinvent the wheel, the classic pitfall of American technology! My Jag is definitive, your van\u2026is derivative!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMichael, not to give Richard any leeway here,\u201d said Megumi, \u201cbut a Jaguar, especially a Mark X, that\u2019s something a Bond Villain would drive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I got the goatee and the dark clothing,\u201d replied Michael, \u201cso why not indulge in a bit of that feeling?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Your car, your attitude, I guess,\u201d muttered the Doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone returned to Beyond City in grand style.
