Taz-in-Space is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Just a quick update

... Coughing sounds are heard coming from deep in the mountainside as Taz makes his way back up a Taz-shaped tunnel. With a final 'cough' Taz staggers back into the sunshine and slowly a wide grin breaks out on his massive face...

'At Last, a playmate that doesn't break AND likes to play rough!' thinks Taz as he get his bearings.

Taz dusts himself off and picks a piece of dented Tank Armor from between his teeth!
Taz doesn't remember eating a tank...
With a shrug, Taz tosses the armor into the nearby bushes and charges straight down the mountain for Narf.

Unfortunately for the local terrain this means through whatever is between - so a second line of destruction is created parallel to the first.

Again the Military Base is harshly treated and another bunker, six Tanks and the Officers Mess is demolished. (Taz was getting slightly hungry & the mess hall was on the way...)

As Taz draws near Narf, he smiles and prepares to suggest a new game - While Narf takes another bite of cheese and waits for whatever happens next...

To the surprise of both, the local armed forces recovered quickly and surround them.

Armed aircraft arrive and circle overhead while heavily armed men and machines backed by artillery encircle the area. War Satellites and even a mobile Weapons Platform is directed to the area.

A loudspeaker blares: 'Ok Monsters, surrender or we will let you have it!'

If anything, Taz's grin just gets wider. To his somewhat skewed outlook this just means more fun ahead!

Taz turns and looks at Narf to see what his reaction is...

*Narf begins playing a game. whack-a-tank. if he hits them hard enough, they even bounce back out of the holes and he can hit them again. wee!*

Taz's faces lights up (as it nearly always does when destruction is imminent) and he starts to make and release minature cyclones. If you step out of them just right, they will continue on by themselves.

As Taz steps out of his 5th such whirlwind he notices that the airplanes and satellites have opened fire and are raining PPB beams down...

Hmmmm, Cartoon Physics...

Moving quickly, Taz gathers and shapes some of the local forest giants into 30 foot long spears.
He then spins rapidly in place and launches these into orbit. Passage through the atmosphere fire-hardens the missiles and one by one the Satellites are skewered and destroyed.

The wind and sonic booms caused by this also knocks down the local aircraft...

*Narf thinks for a moment. he can't be outdone by a spin-top!*

*Narf grabs a tree. seeing as a tree is the smallest unit a tree can be and still be a tree, he paints 'atom' on the tree. then, he sets it upright*

*making a little jump, he swings his hammer at the top of the tree and smashes his 'atom' all the way to the ground.*

...

Narf picks himself out of the mountain (for about five minutes), pulls a tank out of his ear and looks around.

Narf's 'atomic tree' bLast catches Taz unaware and accelerates his already rapid spin exponentially.

5,000 RPM...

50,000 RPM...

500,000 RPM...

At 999,999 RPM the ACME Spin-o-meter needle hits it's stop and wraps 3 1/2 times around it!

The universe may never know what spin rate was actually reached, but Taz DOES know its result - a tunnel was drilled straight down almost to the Magma layer below!

Taz instinctively realizes his danger and starts to climb FAST!

However Taz finds that he is being outpaced by the erupting magma and releases, Umm, certain pent-up Taz gasses.

The Magma ignites these gasses and Taz finds that climbing is no longer necessary - HE IS NOW ROCKET POWERED.

Exiting the soon-to-be volcano, Taz angles his body, and using the Last of the gas manages to make a fiery landing on the mountain beside Narf.

Aside from a few brush-burns, a slight atomic sheen to his fur, and a small burned off patch of hair in, let us say, his nether region; Taz
is satisfied he is A OK.

Which is more than can be said about the countryside below:

Where a newly raging volcano sits near the exact center of a nuclear bLast crater.

'Narf old buddy. What say we find a new place to play. We kinda used up this place!!'

*Narf takes out a piece of cheese and chews on the end of it. 'yeah, what's up with that, buddy?'*

*Narf got nothing*
