The Quest

Chapter 33: The Federation Of Jokers

Meanwhile, on the planet "Joker"...

"What do we do?" a man asked. The man was wearing white makeup, glasses, and had dyed green hair.

"I don't know, man, but we have to do something," a lanky man with similar green hair and a purple suit said.

A third man with blue hair ran into the room.

"That rodent and his friend who looks like a bush just stole one of Valve's warp drives. Another crime to add onto his list," the man said.

"Could it be... the same one?" another man asked. He looked similar to the first man, although he wasn't wearing glasses, and he was wearing an orange and yellow suit.

The man with blue hair looked down at his device. It was ringing.

He clicked the accept call button, and awaited for the voice on the other line to speak up.

"So, have you received this week's shipment?" the man asked.

"Yes, Indian Jokar. The Dew has been received. Thanks for your service," the shadowy figure replied. "Who else is currently there?"

"The Santa Cruz Joker, Shaggy, and Joker (2019)."

"Oh, okay. Well, we're sending ships down now to pick it up. Thanks for your business. As promised, here's your money."

The man on the other line transferred money to all 4 of their accounts. He paid in the standard intergalactic currency.

On the walls of their room were tons of Dew bottles. Blue, red, they had every color.

"Good doing business with you," Indian Jokar said.

The four nodded to each other, and walked out of their base of operations, onto the planet Joker.

The sky was red, as it always was. They walked over to the Dew mining area, and checked on all of their machines.

"Wait, what the?"

Their Dew and machinery were gone!

One ship came down from the sky. And then four. And soon enough, hundreds of ships came descending down on the planet Joker.

"What?! That bastard said there'd only be one plane! Not one hundred!" said the Santa Cruz Joker. "Boys, get your phaser rifles and get ready to defend this place!" He thought about it for a second, and there was only one faction who could have stolen the Dew from them.

Valve.

"But why? Our shipments go to them through our transactor anyways!" said Shaggy.

"They're cutting out the middleman, so we'll just cut them out!" said Joker. He lifted up his phaser rifle, and the four were ready.

The ships all landed across from the Dew mine.

"Hand it over. Now," a man said. He stepped out of his ship, and he lifted his helmet off.

"Who are you?" Indian Jokar asked.

"Name's General Wood Irony. I'll need you to forfeit your Dew mines and your entire planet to us, or else, we'll have to subtract you from the equation."

"Empty threats aren't going to stop us. We'll defend our precious Dew until our last breaths!" said Shaggy.

"You already know what we did to Dinkleberg and Badlands. Do you want it to happen to you next?" said General Wood Irony.

"Their transaction with Oz Harmounian was fully legal. Screw you!" said Santa Cruz Joker.

They pulled out their phaser rifles, and started shooting at Valve.

But they were quickly overpowered.

General Wood Irony and the other soldiers stood over the four Jokers, who were knocked down.

"Join us. Or die." He pulled out his phaser rifle, and aimed it at SC Joker's head.

The four had no option.

They had to join Valve.

"I'm glad this transaction has worked out."

The four were handcuffed and led into the Valve ships, and were brought back to the Planet Circus.
