Pandad one day, while at the base of the incorporateds, the incorporateds were trying very hard to catch up with some old business, when indeed there was a call.. apparently somewhere, there was a need to have transported a panda somewhere in china... and moore, sitting by eating his meal, had a lot on his mind lately, namely some of those new in the base who personally wanted to know what was the joke he'd have planned for the coming year... mostly, he was eating when scarf said.. "I think we got some business to deal with." "While I, moore the hyena, am eating?".. as he ate a plate of cornbread and potatos since roadkill was most unappetizing. "Well, it appears that there is need to transport a panda somewhere, for pandas are endangered..and you know arden and wilson are finally recovering from their injuried they sustained before you arrived." "And where is casey?" "He's busy contacting some of his old friends he didnt' want involved in the whole affair with renegade". "Fine.. then i will help with the mission. SHouldn't be too hard." SO, the incorporateds traveled to china, where they examined the panda to transport. Arden wasn't far from moore, and looked quite emanciated as that battle with renegade took a lot out of him. "Apparently someone named poacher has been trying to deal with rare species and someone apparently thought we should deal with this." "Should this panda be transfered to tibet?", Moore said. "No, there was a location nearby where they wanted to be put.. but we have to be careful for bandits are afoot". "At least I know I'll have backup where I am going.", as he looked at Speedster, who said "I still think I have a bad feeling about you." Moore replied, "Really, why?" "There's got to be something wrong with someone if they can't stand beef jerky", he said, as he took his leave.. and Wilson slowly, still struggling with chaos in his mind and having visions of being someone who wore a straw hat before he woke up, prepared to have the panda hauled off. ------ Later on, as they traveled, a group known as the chain gang looked on , a group of simians who had bothered them in the past looked for an opportunity to get the panda as the team traveled mostly incognito, tried to surround them in the canyon.. and prepared to jump them. Moore, unexperienced at the time, was quickly jumped by a number of gorillas while wilson tried to blast some of them, but he wasn't that well yet.. and Arden, jumping around in the shadows, managed to get the panda to safety briefly before he was also jumped.. but he managed to get away... And somehow, during the mess, moore was subdued somehow and hauled off, with the panda fainted and the gorillas making off with moore instead of the panda.. and Arden winding up missing. Wilson was upset for a while and wondered.. "What the heck? I thought they were after the panda?" "Apparently someone needed a laugh", a voice said from afar as it fell from the sky.... and somehow, a hockey stick materialized not very far from where wilson was sitting. Later that day, Moore (or at least apparently someone who looked like moore) was surrounded by gorillas.. a lot of them, in fact, as a sangurian named Poacher looked in.. and said.. "This isn't the panda I wanted to sell to the zoo back on Sangur-La, it's a Hyena." "Sir,", said someone named Punktopia who was under Poacher at the time, We thought he was more valuable since apparently he's a leader of a group of heros". "He looks like a loser", Poacher said... "Because I wanted a panda, not a hyena." "But sir.." "Keep this hyena here, until someone brings me the panda I wanted. for I personally want the panda, not a hyena". Suddenly, the hyena turned into a snake when it sneezed. "WHAT the?", said poacher. "I sneezed", said the creature within the cage. Poacher stared. "Ok.. ", as the gorillas surrounded the now a snake, "then hold this snake until they bring me the panda, and let it be known if they want their snake back to bring me a panda." "I didn't know I had it within me", said the snake who called himself Arden, "But apparently I can change shape now at will and I was also being tested and.." Immediately from the ceiling a roar came outside as a storm came in and Poacher said.. "YOu shouldn't have fooled me like that", he said, as a massive storm of eggs went into the cage and pummeled Arden senseless. Later on that day, Moore, who was watching over the panda in the storm, saw a young yellow haired girl sit near a tree.. who wasn't very responsive. "Ok.. who are you for I'd hate to have to explain to Casey how I failed in one of my missions, no matter how simple." "I am daydreamer!", she replied. "And I channel the spirit of hockey.. and I was asked to see If i can be helpful in a quest in the future." "Really", Moore said.. "Well, what are you doing here?", he said. "Apparently the past wanted me to take a visit along the way... Oh, is that Wilson?", she said. "I remember him, he ditched some of my friends when they won a battle way back when." "Oh.. I see.. ", Moore said. "Well, I am on a simple mission that has seemingly taken me forever.. to deliver a panda to somewhere. You see, there was this monastery.." "Hmm", she said.. "Are you upset about something, for I know some things." Moore replied.. "Two of my company apparently took off. And apparently some girl named Owl girl was trying to contact me on her pager but sadly I'm not sure I should contact her... and I am missing someone named Arden.. you probably don't know him" "WHAT do you mean I don't know ARDEN?", she said. "Because he and I go way back... And I'd like to see him again.. for I want to make sure he hasn't married again behind my back." "Well, apparently he was kidnapped.. and I sense he tried to pretend to be me to personally get the heat off me for a while for a lot of sangurians were trying to jump me while I was trying to get a panda to safety.." "Then", Daydreamer said.. "We go after arden." Wilson followed as moore went to go see where Arden was holed up. ---- It was a dark time when the incorporateds found the place where poacher was holed up... and Arden slept with many sangurians looking in. "Who the heck gave arden the power to change his shape.. and btw.. he looks very thin and weary", Poacher said.. who was not in the best mood at the time. Punktopia looked on.. "Maybe it was a gift from the heavens that he should not be so limited to the plane of existence he was there." "But I heard of him in the old days, he was a giant and he fought much like one of us!", Poacher replied. "Times change", said Punktopia.. "Times change.. I heard he was nearing his 30,000th birthday last I checked and for a snake that's a very, very long time to be old." Suddenly a knock came on the door as the gorillas came near it.. and out of nowhere a massive hockey stick broke through it, vaporizing after breaking the door.. "Ohhh no, it's her", Poacher said, as he stared at Daydreamer.. wondering what the heck was going on. Moore said.. "GIVE ME BACK THE SNAKE!!", he said. "Never", said Poacher".... "At least not without a fight." and with that, a lot of gorillas prepared to charge the three entering.. and a battle ensued, as poacher rolled back his eyes to get dozens of eggs into the place, which Daydreamer batted aside with ease, and Moore managed to eat some... And as a mess ensued, Arden got mad and tried to break open his cage, but aside from his ability to shapeshift he couldn't quite break free .. and was quite weak... but managed to get in a few swipes as Daydreamer did most of the fighting. After a few minutes of battles, Poacher was finally defeated, though the place smelled of rotten eggs.. though Punktopia got away , apparently... and the Incorporateds left the place, admid a lot of dazed gorillas. Later on, as Moore delivered the panda, and the vehicle called the Rustbucket pulled up to take them on their next adventure, preferably outside china.. and notices were sent to many of those involved in the event to have the gorillas extradited back to where they came from.. Moore was surprised to know a yellow- haired girl had been an Incorporated a long time before him .. and maybe always had been. "Soo", Moore said.. "WHo are you really?" "THey called me Kiwi Henna a long time ago", she said...." But they call me Daydreamer now.." "YOu could have told me that", Moore said.. "For I'm kinda new here...and I hope this mission was a sucess for me." "Say", said Daydreamer.. "What are you doing here?" Moore said as the team drove off into the sunset, with Arden in tow, Wilson still upset at his dreams of being a child somewhere for something he'd been cursed to be in the future in a different reality, and the rest sitting in the back watching a new storm brew on the horizon.. "Let's Just say someone, somewhere.. needed a laugh. BADLY." THE END.. for now.
