Look. Don't blame me, I'm bored. If people were in here chatting away, I wouldn't have to sink to this level.
Smoke purred from Ant's mouth, drifting into the air, and pulling the life from within him out...
"You shouldn't smoke you know. It's bad for the insides."
Ant looked down at his curry. He wouldn't be suprised if the curry did more damage.
"I can't eat any more." He said. "I'm not feeling too well today."
The man took away Ant's curry, and emptied it into a bucket.
"That'll be 90 credits..." As the man looked up, Ant was no longer at his seat.
"Put it on the slate!" Ant shouted...
Ant had recieved another message. It was from command. Apparently some of the driods had broke lose, killing a few task forces on the way.
Ant got into his hovercar, just a bog standard craft, but the seats were uncomfortable. He knew this would be his last run before he could buy another.
He pulled the craft up, and out of the giant hanger, and into the open air. It was night. You could tell it was night because there were more hovercars around, it usually gets busy at night... Ant looked up at the deep smog that had settled over the city of Pembroke many years ago... not long after Pembroke was declared the new capital of the former British Isles all those years ago... before the war.
Ant remembers it as if it were about 10 years ago, so he expected the details to be a bit foggy.
Professor Miyamoto about 11 years ago invented the next generation of machinary to compete with the Overlords Playchip 3, which was in popular demand with kids...
Under the company name Nintendo, Prof. Miyamoto released the Nintendo chip into the mass market. Hundreds of people brought them, and had them implanted. Some many happy faces... so much peace in the world...
Then something, as always it seemed, went wrong. The chips started to manufuction, taking the persons will of control with it. They produced hundreds of automated psyhcotic killing machines, and Nintendo had no control over them...
The Overlord had ordered that all Nintendo products to be taking off the market, and ordered that Nintendo was shut down.
Ant pulled out of his daydream, and realised that he was heading straight for a building... He pulled up with ease. But someone behind him, who didn't anticipate his move quickly dodged to the left to avoid Ant, and hit the building that Ant was trying to avoid. The sprialling trail of the hovercars smoke reminded Ant to light his cigarette, which was just clasped unlit between his lips. Ant thought he was going insane...
Ant managed to navigate through the rest of the car maze, and ended up at the Overlords headquarters. Sony HQ.
He landed. Finding a space was easy, just land on top of any car already there. Sometimes you would find stacks of cars miles high, with the Jenga like approuch for the man with the bottom car, attempting to remove his car... There had been several "Jenga" accidents in the last few days.
Ant had left his car, climbed down the stack of cars, and entered the building. He proceeded past reception, and walked down the dark stairs. He took the second door on the left, walked around the fountain in the middle of the room to the third door, past the small wildlife display, through the small hall, under the glass bridge, and through the red double doors.
"Who are you?" Said the man inside.
"My names Ant. I'm a Blade Runner."
"Oh... you looking for the Command office. You should have taken the fourth door near the waterfall, this is the lower hall."
"Oh. Ta."

"Right, so, where did we leave edgy?" pb asked.
"Back in that other factory."
"Oh right. Let's go find him again, shall we??"
The posse all moved on towards the factory where edgy was waiting.
Edgy could see them coming towards the building, and he leant over the stair rail in anticipation. Unfortunatley, edgy leant too far, and fell over the rail, and down to his doom.
The fall wasn'y very far though, but he was still knocked unconscious.
Grix was watching through the screen, "DAMN!" He said, in his Solid Snake voice.
The posse found edgy, and took him outside to the tardis.
"Well, that wasn't too hard, was it?" Ant said to the others.

Sorry Ant? What was that?
:D

It's taken hours to read all this.
I can now bring my creativity to it (and steal the main part too... tee hee...)
I'll continue from Ant

Right, I AM WRITING THE NEXT EPISODE!!
Do not post, I am writing the next episode.

Where the hell has this story gone!?!?!?
Suddenly Ant got the earge to run down the street... and it started to snow...
"Merry Christmas Pembroke!"
"Merry Christmas underdeveloped industrial site!"
"Merry Christmas Henry's!"
"Merry Christmas Bierspool Cycles!"
Fantasymeister run up beside Ant, and overtook him... Fantasymeisters voice echoed through the air... "And then one day, for no apparent reason, I decided to go for a run..."

The group sat in Ant's house. Dan turned off the tv with a *click* and turned to Ant, who was still puzzling over the plot unfolding in front of him.
"These programmes are getting boring, they don't even make them realistic anymore. I mean, who ever heard of a bloke flying around saving people, just out of the goodness of his heart."
FM walked into the room as Dan ranted on. "What, you mean like a group of bladerunners travelling around in a Tardis? Or a giant game of Donkey Kong?"
----------------------
Suddenly, just because these things often happen suddenly, the world seemed to lose it's colour.
Ant sat in a chair with his feet on an old pine table and a bottle of JD, which had been full half an hour ago but was now resembling air, in his hand. He fiddled with his trenchcoat and threw his fedora on the nearby hatstand.
"Hey fellas, we really gotta find us these sleazebags before they end up runnin' the joint." He said with a drawl.
"Well boss," said the unshaven Dan_UK "We tried to get ol' Bert the bartender to squeal, but he dint tell us nothin. I reckons they split and it's no bad thing.
The room swam and changed again.
FM sat on a bench, his waistcoat buttoned tight and hair slicked back. "I think it will turn out, my mother always saaid life is like a box a' chocolates."
Pb rushed in and time slowed down.
"Thhhhhheeeeeeee teeeeeeeeempooooorrrraaallll fllllluuuxxxxx iiinnnnnnn tttthhhhheeeee rrrrrooooooooooooommm isssss aaallllllll wroooonnngggg, muuuusssssttttt geeeeeeeeetttttttt heeeeeeellllllppppppppp"

"This high... even the clouds seem low..."
Two men stood on a window ledge... looking down into certain infinity...
The clouds broke... and a large red beam of light shone straight up at both of the men...
"Argghhh!" The light dazzled one of the men... he stumbled forward...
The second man's hand reached to grab the falling mans leg... nearly pulling himself over in the process...
The crowds screamed, as the red light showed the two dangling men stranded on the window ledge...
The crowd looked up in fear... one man looked up the building... and could just make out a figure climbing down the building...
"Good god!" He shouted... "What's that! Is it a bird!"
"No..." A woman had also noticed the figure... "Could it be a plane?"
"No!" The red light flew up the building... a man in a yellow rubber suit was decending the building... wearing a filmsy silk cape... "It's Amentiaman!"
Amentiaman climbed down the side of the building... he had attached the grappling brain hook to a gothic statue at the top of the building...
He climbed down, and attached the other end of the hook to the two men... he gave the rope a quick tug, and it pulled the two men to the top...
He looked inside the window that the two men had climbed from... just the five men inside... he expected there would be more below...
Amentiaman smashed through the window, punched the man nearest the window, and used his arm to shoot two other people. By that time, the fourth man had got out his gun, so Amentiaman used the first man as a shield... the man continued to fire, there was a *click*, and Amentiaman threw the man at the other two men.
Another man came up behind Amentiaman... but he mulekicked the man, who fell back and smashed through the window...
The crowd screamed, and moved quite fast, as the body fell towards the ground...
"Good god! The poor man!"
"It's ok!" Shouted someone, "it's just a goon!"
"Oh thank God."
Amentiaman pulled himself into the bank vault... and pulled out the large black object, with the word BOMB written on it, and a ridiculsly large fuse fizzing away.
He threw the bomb out of the window... which landed in a lake a few miles away... and stock footage of an explosion was shown.
"Hurrah! Amentiaman saved the bank!"
There was much rejoycing.
"If only we knew the identity of Amentiaman... he does so much for the city of Pembroke..."
Amentiaman stood at the top of the building... and adjusted his amentia utility belt...
"You can turn off the brain light now!" Cried the Chief of Pembroke Police... "The bank is saved!"

"Hang on, most of it is already removed, after we knocked him out in the factory." said Ant, confused.
"Ah, I was confused after watching that episode inside Sniper's mind, with the dinosaurs and skating nuns etc, remind me, what happened..." asked Dan_UK
"Well..." began Ant, recaping for the third time, "After we crashed and the Overlord turned out to be evil, we were rescued by pb in the Tardis. We went to find the intelligent Sniper, being controlled by the faulty Nintendo chip, or so we thought, not knowing that our colleague, Gobble-de-gook, was in fact Grix, who we were also after and who seems to be the ringleader of the group. After falling into a trap set by Sniper, where he rolled barrels at us in a factory and meeting Tony, who we escaped, we took the unconcious Sniper back and pb gave us the medicine to dissolve Sniper's chip. It only managed to get some and I found a piece which had Nintendo spelt wrong, leading me to believe that it wasn't the Nintendo company that set up the faulty chips. Meanwhile, Sniper had strange hallucinations about dinosaurs and skateboarders, which we saw on the Tardis screen. We found Edgy, but just as he set us a trap we saw Sniper escape and followed him, only to see him crash after nearly taking pb's face off. Ok?"
"er...yes...thanks!" everyone else said.
The plot moved on....

Ant, with his legs now totally healed so that the story can continue, pulled Snipers, limp, but quite alive, body from the wreckage.
"Ow."
"So we have Sniper..." Fantasymeister sat down, "but how do we get the chip out?"
"...Err..." Everyone suddenly remembered that Grix was the person that removed Dan_UK's chip before...
