Re: SOSB: The War of the Feet
Now for the last and final chapter:
Chapter 12: RW At Rest
BlackStar tried to raise Kribu by comchannel. "Kribu! Kribu, are you alright?" The others also had the channel open, and were waiting for her response. It was quiet for a moment, then Kribu's voice came over the channel.
"Yes. Yes I'm fine, just a little shaken up." The companions cheered. Then she said, "My ship is badly damaged though."
"I'll come and pick you up my dear," BlackStar said.
"What happened to all the battleshoes?" GK asked. "They're all gone!"
"Well, the ones that we didn't destroy along with the Salad Bar Killer I scared off," Slappy said.
"How'd you do that?" EJ asked.
"I took off my encounter suit and ran around the bridge of my Whitestar naked. I sent that to the enemy and they took off!"
Everyone laughed until Kribu linked, "Hello! I need some help here!"
"Oh yeah, sorry dear," BlackStar linked back. "I'll be right there." Then he linked to the rest of the group, "Go ahead and go back to the bar. We'll meet you there."
"Roger, Sta," EJ linked. "Come on boys, let's go check on my brother."
Later, everyone met up in medlab. RW was alive and well, lying in a bed with Oliver, Moochenko, Kribu, BlackStar, Slappy, GK, and EJ all crowded around his bed. A kitten and a wombat lay asleep on the bed with him.
"So you died again?" GK asked RW.
"Yeah, I did," RW answered. "Oliver used the alien healing device on me to bring me back to life."
"You're a lucky dog," Slappy informed him. "You got to die twice in one day and got brought to life. I wish that could happen to me!"
Everyone laughed. Then Kribu asked, "How could Oliver use the machine to save you if it takes the life of the other person hooked up to it?"
"Well, he found a Foot creature porking on some pickles in the bar after he brought me back. He made a bunch of wombats capture it and he brought it to medlab and used it to save me," RW answered. Everyone laughed again.
"I just wanted to thank you all for helping me save the Happy Narn," RW then said after a short silence. "You all were just great."
"Well, I think I can answer for everyone," Kribu said. "It would really suck if there was no salad bar." The rest nodded their agreement. "After all, we are Salad Rangers," she added, and then on cue they all said, "We live for salad. We die for salad."
"We should have a big par-tay now," BlackStar said. Everyone agreed and excitedly talked of planning a big bash to celebrate until Oliver spoke in their heads.
**We can par-tay later. I'm the doctor, and I say that RW needs his rest.**
"Of course," Kribu said. "then after he's rested we can throw the biggest par-tay this bar has ever seen!"
Everyone cheered happily and then left RW, the kitten, and the wombat so they could rest.
The End

Dulann: You don't solve your problems by hitting them.
David Martel: Yeah, well, it made me feel better.

But it was a lot of fun writing it.
