The Immortal Schoolgirls     

One day, Longglory, who hadn't had a good day, heard rumors that Longgloria was trying to make a return but was being interrogated by a dark gorilla named Omeson Padera, a ancient evil whos determination to ruin space and time was noteworthy by all who had crossed his path.. whos very beliefs in darkening the stars in the universe was indeed a horrifying prospect, and whos use of luminary's ideas was changing reality every moment in areas of time and space far, far, far from wherever the heck you were.. But indeed, it was believed that some things he could not destroy, like the already cursed, could probably make it through his known territory that had grown indeed a lot since luminary's fateful battle, and very frightening indeed.. So Longglory, who had often been bothered a lot by Wilson's return and often anger at the long gone past, offered to take some of the newer incorporateds, namely Cricket girl, Chihuahua, and Pirate Dj into the depths of darkness where once light once shown.. knowing at least one disguise which strangely, did work against many of the darknesses that brought much of reality down..

He like, found some old outfits from a few years back that many of the incorporateds once worn, and after stocking up on food, found himself wearing one of those 'schoolgirl' uniforms that kinda upset himself a lot wearing.. after all, how long could he wear the things before he lost his own manhood.. especially considering he had visions of what'd happen if he didn't take it off? And he sighed as Gedell, a old collie who personally had outfitted many superheros in the distant past, simply sewed up the back of the outfit rather than zipped it up, because he said.. "It's indeed unlikely if it can be taken off via normal means, that you'd survive long considering some of the dark things that could happen to an unprotected soul.. for some who went in there became monsters because omeson thought it would be funnier."

"But what if I have to go to the bathroom or eat, wierdo?"

"Well, it's not like you're going to wear it forever, and anyway.. your daughter's safe return is essential to the cause."

"Whatever", Long-glory said, as he wandered out, unnerved because his voice sounded more and more female as he boarded the bus craft that went to the last known location Long-gloria went to.. 

He stared out from within his costume, as he felt strange among these newer incorporateds... especially henrietta, a female, part-rabbit like creature who was really hyperactive.. a cricket girl who reminded him a lot of Daydreamer in the day, but her choice of weapons and optimism was much brighter despite the war going on.. and often, he'd wondered, was speedster going too? because speedster probably hadn't seen Long-Gloria in a long time, especially after what terrel did as apparently an attempt to save her for the future.. a future some wondered if it was worth living in, especially with rumored crises on earth going on at the time.

The ship crossed the darkness, and not much save in outlines did long-glory see his fellow friends as they landed on what they once knew as Summerien, now darkened and nearly lifeless.. save for a few survivors of a bygone war of earth-beings known as chupacabras,  where many of those tried very hard to gain control.. and failed.

"Soo...", Long-glory said as he got off the bus.. "What's up with you all", as he felt funny things.. "And any of you really girls?"

"Ohh", Henrietta said as she wandered in the dark , grassy hills, "I'm sure i'm a girl.. But I've not been around very much, indeed... though I have kinda dealt with a lot of tragedy in my short time here...especially dealing with some of the 
rumors going around about other teams out there."

"Trust me,", Longglory said.. "you have no idea what real tragedy has been until you've lost about a decade being pushed forward that you found yourself missing.. especially when you've felt like you've dropped from the sky. And uh.. really, these outfits we wear.. DON'T have zippers?"

"Yeah, that's the sad thing about this plan.. If indeed they had zippers someone might easily take them off and get to us.. especially someone we might not be able to see easily."

Just then, they heard some strange stomping noises in the darkness as apparently Long-glory, though he felt was changing, sensed his long-lost daughter.. somewhere quitely moaning and asking for the strange noises to stop.

"Ohh my,", Long-glory said as he personally saw giant boxes, faintly visible, moving around this one house he'd never really, ever been around.. but the other Incorporateds had told him upon his return from the great beyond a Terrel once sent him to.. as if someone was like, trying to personally scare others.. with strange, mean words floating down and crashing around them.

"Well, that's new to me.. a quite literal war of words", Henrietta said as Long-glory motioned cricket girl to come close by, and make a run to the house..
which seemed to be locked, but had at least one guard totally in the dark.. which reminded Long-Glory of a sangurian named Fisher who's fishing skills were legendary.

When Long-glory looked at fisher, who stared indeed back, Fisher said, "Do I know who you are?"

"well, Perhaps not, ", said long-glory, feeling so strange within his outfit. "But I've come looking for someone I've missed in a very long time.. someone i'd die for. Are you guarding someone, because I know a lot of boxes are surrounding your place."

"Oh, those are someone's strange idea that they abandoned, some of those I've worked for. Giant mean boxes who personally think anything that comes near them could possibly be nice. So they indeed, toss anything upon them that personally comes near, like words that seem to twist people around. You're so lucky those words are.. well, not hurting you. I'd be hurting you personally, but knowing how cute you are I'm soo tempted to not hurt you personally.. but I should bar your way, considering I've got a real live one in there somehow."

In the dark , the other incorporateds near him managed to kick the boxes around, with the words floating in air bouncing off their outfits.. in spite of the rain threatening to downpour upon them.. a rain long-glory really couldn't smell. And Henrietta, in spite of arguing with Cricket girl during the mess, actually did pretty well in the battle.. with boxes that looked somewhat like those from horror films of bygone days.

Really,", Long-glory said, "Well, are you permitted to let people in your place? "
"Ma'am, and i'm sure of this, indeed, " Fisher said.. "I wouldn't let ME in there knowing that mess in there someone told me to not let out. Because I know what's upset her.. being alone."

.. "What do you mean you're sure I'm.. ", Long-Glory said ... "Ohh, I'm going in there."

"Not unless you best me", Fisher said.. "and considering I have not let anyone indeed past me in a while, You'll have indeed troubles..."

"I know what trouble is", said Long-glory.. "And I know despair. and somehow, you will personally feel the despair if you don't let me and my friends in there."

Fisher stared as the other Incorporateds finished their battle.. victorious.. and indeed, asked.. "Soo.. Who are you, anyway", Fisher said, as he prepared to swing his fishing rod at Long-glory."

"I really would rather not tell you", as Long-glory indeed, kicked Fisher in the head, and then tossed him in the mud as the other INcorporateds jumped on him..and Long-glory opened the door..

And was surprised, to see Long-gloria, tired indeed.. but still alive.. though somehow, Long-gloria actually found it hard to recognize her father. 

"Well.. I'm so glad someone came in here.. I mean, all that goth music played so loud in my mind.. and the force fields and stuff.. well, It's proven to me very hard to get out.. especially since that Fisher tried to actually be entertaining.. but still, thank you for the freedom...whoever you are"

Long-glory took down the force fields.. and said.. "I'm", but then Fisher, with Henrietta trying to drag him down, tried to confront the two... with the words.. "Would someone explain indeed who the heck are you are, as he sloughed towards the two as it rained.. and suddenly, through the roof, while it didn't hit Henrietta, did knock Fisher on the head.. a giant brush from the sky..that seemed to be coming in..

"What the", Fisher said, as he fell over, and Long-glory leaned over.. and looked at the brush which began to fade from view.. "Did I do that", as he picked it up.

"Perhaps you did, indeed.. I only hope indeed, I can go with you.. as being in here a long time can get real boring."

"Yes, come with me... and we'll go home. Wherever you think home is."

"My home is with the Incorporateds", Long-Gloria said.. "If you're going to them."

Later that day, as the bus redocked with the Grand Neverrest.. which was being reported as also seeming to exist somewhere else in the universe, more and more these days... maybe even in galaxies and universes so far away only the imagination itself could take one there in even one lifetime.. Long-glory and Long-gloria, along with the other Incorporateds, got off... and Long-gloria took off her uniform, and managed to dress more sensibly as Long-glory had his outfit removed.. which didn't smell real good, but at least it was coming off..

"Well,", Long-glory said.. "welcome back to the Incorporateds", as Long-Glory took off the mask part of the all-covering outfit..", Daughter. I am Long-Glory.. your.. uhh.."

Long-Gloria said .. "Whoa.. heh.. Really? Looks like you've gone through something pretty bad recently.."

"What Indeed do you think I've been .. through", Long-Glory said, as he looked in the mirror and noticed..

He was now a she. "Ohh dang it', said Long-Glory, who sighed as the other Incorporateds stared back.. "I don't believe these outfits did that to me."

"Well", said Henrietta, "You'd be surprised what they did to me when i like, wore them.. But maan, I'm so glad I can finally go to the bathroom!!" And she ran off to the bathrooms and used them. 

"Anyway, good to have you back", Long-Gloria said.. "And believe me, it has been a long time since I saw you around here.. but do you think the damage can be undone? For.. heh. I don't think you'd make that bad a girl". And she laughed so much her head came off, but more or less gated like Halifax once did, and then put it back on.

"Looks like some things do run in the family", Long-Glory said.. as a apparently now she picked up the brush and looked out in space and wondered...

"What if i'm not the only one of the Incorporateds losing their manhood to these outfits that are circulating.. and indeed, probably are getting real popular in spite of themselves?", he said, as the Grand Neverrest parted for the next place on the agenda, as they wandered near a darkness Long-glory wondered indeed.. would it ever really go away in anyone's lifetimes.. no matter how one planned to fight it.. and was it trying to reach back into the past as well as the future?"

One never knows when they go into darkness to see the light.. what they bring back.. even if they bring back the great lives that bring them joy.. for indeed sometimes they pay a price for doing so.. even a kinda humorous one.

As for Cricket girl, she didnt' feel much more female than before when she took hers off.. but at least her hair wasn't like 'totally messed up.', and often stared at long-glory who wondered if indeed, going by brush now..especially since there was this one odd dress and beret Long-glory found herself wanting to wear, as she found that brush strangely useful...

Might really piss a now 'her' old father off who wasn't really getting any younger.
