Haven't decided on a title for this story yet - it's about (at a guess) 15-20% done so far. More news soon, in the meantime here's a little snippet from the start of the story:
Captain
Disaster was bored. He’d had so many
adventures by now that any time spent not
on an adventure felt like a relief for all of five minutes, and then he missed
the excitement for as long as it took for the next nerve-jangling,
life-endangering escapade to take place.
CD himself and his entire worldwide fan base – yes, all three of them –
had awaited this moment.
Now
it had come.
Unfortunately,
it had come in the form of The Celestial Warriors, a band of lunatics who
wanted to cleanse the galaxy of humans.
Since our lovable captain loosely fitted the criteria for “human”, they were
currently trying to destroy his ship.
“Will
the Picard Manoeuvre be of any help here?” enquired ZD.
Zero
Bit was concentrating on evasive actions so it took him a while to reply. When he’s managed to get a small asteroid
belt between them and the Warriors, he replied “sadly not, Captain. Still, we appear to have managed to lose them
for a moment. It will take them a while
to navigate that asteroid field.”
“What’s
up with these Celestial Warriors, anyway?
They sound like an American Football team.”
“It’s
a bit of a misunderstanding. They
watched The Matrix and thought it was a documentary, and ever since have viewed
the human race as a virus. Ever since
then they have viewed it as their Quest to rid the Galaxy of the human race.”
After
a small intermission during which Captain Disaster rolled around and took his
shirt off, ZB piped up “Ah. It would
appear they have caught up with us”.
