A "Happy" Occasion?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 26996

Tarin Gazin and Jenny Elf (episodes 26540 & 26688) continued on, led by the stalwart hound Velus, renamed by Jenny in honor of her beloved (and long lost) animal companion, Sammy Cat. They rounded a corner, and to their disbelief, saw a creature of pure nightmare. It was humanoid, but just barely. It's torso, arms and legs were literally thin as sticks. Upon this frame a huge circular head was impossibly balanced. Set in this head were two beady little black eyes, a dot for a nose, and a curvy line for a mouth, which together comprised a smiley face. The creature's color was a glaring blood-red (episode 20020).

"By the Forge!" Tarin breathed. "What manner of demon is this?"

"Hallo, my name is Happyman!" said the Beast. "Did yoo bring me a Fresca?"

Velus/Sammy barked loudly as the hair on his back bristled. He could sense the evil radiating from this thing, could smell it - and it chilled him to the core.

Tarin and Jenny were dumbfounded. In all their years as Eternal Champions, they had never heard of a being such as this. They had no idea of how much danger they were in.

Happyman was annoyed that he had no Fresca. He was torn between actively seeking one out, and ripping off these people's heads and drinking their sweet elvish lifeblood instead. He had never eaten an elf before - but was always open to new unlife-affirming experiences. He had no idea how much danger he was in either.

"Um..." Jenny said. "Sorry but... we don't have any Fresca."

"Then you must die!" exclaimed Happyman. In a flash of his limbs he held a massive lochaber ax. "For the glory of the Zentraedi fleet and Kyron!"

"What?!" Tarin exclaimed. "Jenny, get back! I sense a powerful evil!"

He reached behind him, and unhooked his own ax, made of stolid dwarven steel. "I don't know who you are." Tarin said grimly "Or who is this Kyron that you serve. But when this is done you will crawl back to him in pieces!"

"Shut up!" yelled Happyman. "The one I serve is a certain pointy-headed, cloven-hooved, bearded little SOB whose name must never be spoken! And I spit on his creation! Yes, I spit on it! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!"

A pentagram glowed upside down on H-Man's face, and a chill wind blew through the cave. From somewhere an ominous, undeniably Evil voice spoke "Happyman! Spare their lives! They will serve as bait to draw the others."

"Damn your oily hide!" spat Happyman. "You won't let me have any fun!"

  1. With a diabolic scream, the evil stick figure attacked!
