President New Jimmy was lying in bed, trying to sleep. Thoughts troubled him, and he tossed and turned, unable to calm himself.
The Chinese were annoying him, and he was so busy that he never had time for his family.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. President New Jimmy called, “Come in.”
No one entered. “Come in!” The President said, annoyed.
Nothing.
Then, the knocking came again. The President slowly got up, put on his dressing gown, and catiously walked over to the door.
Slowly, he turned the handle, and peered outside. Nothing. There was no one there.
The President shut the door. He was just getting back into bed when there was another knock at the door.
President New Jimmy was very annoyed. He walked straight up to the door, opened it, and marched outside.
“Look, whoever’s playing pranks, it’s not funny. I’m the President, you will respect me!”
New Jimmy walked back into his room, and slammed the door shut. As he was getting back into bed, he realized something. There were no guards outside his door. That was very strange, as President New Jimmy demanded guards outside his door.
New Jimmy looked around his room, worried. Nothing. The President decided he was being silly, and he got back into bed.
He closed his eyes.
He opened them again. Suddenly, a hand was clamped over his mouth. The President looked up, and saw……well, he had no idea what he saw.
This…..thing, stared into New Jimmy’s eyes, and said in a low, deadly voice, “See you in Hell,”
Then, it pointed it’s finger at President New Jimmy, and strange beams emitted from it. These beams flew straight at the President, and New Jimmy began to shake. New Jimmy was in tremendous pain, and he would have been screaming if a hand hadn’t been clamped over his mouth.
The President’s eyes rolled back into his head, and this…thing, let Jimmy out of his grasp.
The President fell to the floor, dead.
This monster left a note on the body of the President.
It said, “You’ve been seen to, by the Wookiee Monster.”

The phone rang. M16 picked it up.
“Hello, who is it please?”
“Greetings. You don’t know me but I know everything about you,”
“Is this a prank call? If it is, then it’s a crap one,”
“Listen, you have to believe me, I am letting you know that there has been an incedent involving President New Jimmy. He has been murdered.”
“How can this be?? I’m sure that if the President was dead, it would have been all over the news!”
“Just listen. You, your brother, and your associate, are the only people who can find the man who killed him.
“How would you know? You mean, you can see into the future?”
That is not your business, but you will find out soon enough.”
“How do I know if your telling the truth or not?!”
“You have to believe me. The person who killed the President will not stop, and you are the only people who can destroy him.”
“Why us??”
“You will find out soon enough. Get Ant and saesee, and only then will I tell you more. I will be in touch,” He hung up.
“Um…hello?”
M16 slumped on his sofa, and rakced his brains about what he should do now. He began to shake and sweat rapidly, as he was very, very scared. He tried to make himself feel better by saying in his mind that it was all a bunch of lies, but he couldn’t help but feel concerned for the President, and worried about whether it was his duty to find the killer. In the end, M16 decided he ought to call Ant (his brother) and saesee. Then, he would decided what to do.

Meanwhile, Ant was walking up the high street with the large knife in his hand, sneering as he went.
People pointed and screamed, but Ant didn't flinch a muscle.
Then, he walked through the park. A squirrel ran across his path.
Suddenly, Ant caught the squirrel with super-human speed, and ripped it's guts open with the knife.
Ant saw a bird fly above him. Ant then flew into the air, caught the bird, and killed it.
And landed on the ground, blood all over his hands. He smirked, and then carried on his journey.
He looked to his left, and sitting on a bench, there was an old man feeding the ducks. Ant sneered, and walked towards him.

... Tarrant' mobile rang. Tarrant took the mobile from his pocket.
"Since when did you have a mobile, Tarrant?" asked YH.
"err... Oh yeah, I took this out of your coat earlier"
"Why?"
"erm... I'm not sure. I used to be a kleptomaniac but thats all stopped now, thanks to these pills!"
Tarrant handed YH a white plastic container with child proof lid. YH looked at the container carefully.
"Chewable Asprin cured your kleptomania?" YH said, a little unconvinced.
"What! Let me look at that." Tarrant snatched the container from YH and stared wide eyed at the text on the side of it.
"Darn! I've picked up the wrong pills"
Tarrant handed back YH's mobile and wallet and socks.
YH answered the phone.
"Hello. Yes. No, well mabye. Slow down a minute.
He did what? Ok, we'll be right there"
Tarrant stared at YH a little confused.
"We only heard half of that conversation! What's that about?" asked Tarrant impatiently.
"It's called 'dramatic tension'!"
"I see. So do I get to know where we're going? Or is this one of those bits were I follow you down the street at a high pace?"
"I'm afraid you will just have to follow me."
"I don't have to drop the beers do I?" Tarrants heart began to race.
"Err... no, we might as well hang on to them for now. They might be needed in the next section."
Tarrants heart returned to a more acceptible pace.
The two headed back the way they'd come at at least three times the speed.
Tarrants pulse, once again began to race. Luckily he managed to settle it by removing some sugary confectionary from the hand of an infant.
Clearly YH was going to have to keep an eye on Tarrant until they could get his pills back.

The mystery guest was, the one and only, Time_warp.
TW hadn't been mentioned since the beginning of the story, he'd been away practising using speech marks.
"I've got them sorted now" He told the gang, over a cup of tea. YH was getting fed up with cups of tea, did no-one have any alcohol around the place?
"I'm off to the corner shop to get some beers, what does everyone want?" he asked the group. They all told him what they wanted and Tarrant said he'd go along with YH as TW was annoying him.
"I got a call from Zita last night" confessed Tarrant.
"What!?!? Why didnt you say something earlier?" Cried YH.
"Well, and this is between me and you, i've got some suspicions about TW."
"What did Zita say?" Asked YH
"She warned me to be careful of 'A great threat'."
"A great threat? and you're thinking of TW?" Tarrant nodded.
"Well, i suppose he could be considered great, he must be, what, at least 25 stone? That counts as great in my book." Said Tarrant
"I feel that great, in this sense, doesnt mean TW" Pointed out YH.
"You don't think?"
"No, I think that, perhaps im wrong here this is a stab in the dark after all, but Great meant large -"
"Well TW is quite large as well" pointed out Tarrant.
"-" Began YH.
"I mean, his waist must be at least...."
"LOOK! I really don't think Zita had TW in mind when she mentioned the Great Threat."
"You dont?"
"No".
YH and Tarrant had reached the shop by now, so they went in, bought the drink and were just leaving the shop when....

Just thought I`d bring this to the top, so you can continue the story!
M16 was totally oblivious as to what was happening to Ant.
Ant had never been the same since Wookiee paid him a visit. This was no ordinary visit though as the Wookiee Monster has really turned Ant into a maniac. Ant often falls into deep trances, no one knows what exactly is going through his mind but when he walks around with a knife in his hand, that’s not a very good sign.
No one from the group has heard from M16 in a long time so they decide to give him a call.
*ring ring*
M16 picks up the phone. “Hello?”
“Hi” said Tarrant. “Do you want to come out with me and Your Honour to have a game of football?
“Yeah!” shouts M16 “What time?”
“Any time mate, just meet us down the park when you’re ready”
M16’s face lights up with the idea of getting out and about. He hasn’t been out much because he is afraid of the Wookiee Monster but he knows he will be safe with Tarrant and YH.
M16 brushes his teeth and brushes his hair. He tied up his bootlaces and was just about to leave when the phone started to ring.
M16 sighed and dithered on weather to pick the phone up or just leave the house.
“Oh, I best get it in case it’s important”
M16 walks into the living room and picks up the phone.
“Hello?”
“M16, this is Zita speaking, I hear you and your mates are going through a rough stage at the moment”
“Yes, we are”
“Well, you can’t give up on me now I’m afraid. I’m relying on you and your friends to defeat the Wookiee Monster and basically, save the world!”
“Basically?” shouts M16. “There is nothing basic about this task I’m afraid. I really got scared when Wookiee lifted me up with his magic powers”
“Yeah, I can imagine” reply’s Zita. “Look, did you know that Ant is in a terrible state at the moment?”
“Um, no I didn’t” said M16. “What has happened?”
“I don’t know if I should worry you about this…”
“Look, if there is something wrong with my friend I would like to know!” shouts M16.
“Quite. Okay, Ant got paid a visit from Wookiee. Wookiee gave him a horrible decision to make. He has to kill you, or Wookiee kills him.
“What!” shouts M16. “He…he’s going to kill me?”
“I am not sure, and I don’t even think if he is”
M16 suddenly panics.
“I don’t want to die!” shrieks M16.
“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t leave this house you will be safe. I will be in touch.” Zita hangs up the phone.
M16 slumps on his sofa. “Now what should I do for the rest of the day?”
Just as he thought that, the doorbell rang.
M16 hesitated on answering the door.
M16 creeped up to the door and opened it. To M16’s horror it was...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tarrant and YH were still waiting for M16 down the park.
“Where the hell is he!” shouted Tarrant
“I don’t have a clue. Let’s go home and play on the N64.
“No I have a better idea,” said Tarrant. “Let’s pay M16 a visit. He has a Ps2”
YH agreed and off they went to M16’s place.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
“I can see M16 at the doorstep!” shouted Your Honour.
“Yeah, so can I. Said Tarrant. “Who’s that with him?”
The pair looked closely.
“M16, over here!” shouted Your Honour.
The worried M16 glanced over to them.
“Help!” shouted M16.
“What’s he on about?” asked Your Honour.
“Not sure, lets go and find out”
The pair got closer and closer to the doorstep but stopped when they realised whom it was.
The mystery guest was...
Ant, now with an evil smile on his face made his way to the kitchen while clutching the knife.
Suddenly his watch started to beep.
Ant snapped out, of what seemed to be some sort of trance.
“What just happened? Thought Ant. Ant put the knife down and wondered what the hell was going on.
“I need to speak to Zita, and fast!” shouted Ant.
Ant run to the living room and picked up the phone, only to remember that Zita didn’t leave her number.
“Oh no” sighed Ant. “What should I do?”
Ant turned around, facing the knife and then smirked.

“Oh no” sighed Ant. “What should I do?”
Ant turned around, facing the knife and then smirked.
Ant sat up out of bed. He got up, made his way to the kitchen, and got himself a bowl of Corn Flakes. Then he poured milk over it, and around 30 spoonfuls of sugar.
After eating his breakfast, he made his way upstairs and got dressed.
Then, Ant went to the kitchen. He opened a drawer, and brought out a large kitchen knife.
Ant then made his way out into the cold morning air, with the knife in his hand.

"What did he say?" asked YH.
"He said he broke in, to get food!" replied Tarrant.
YH looked at Eduardo then at Tarrant. It was all rather puzzling. But then, it had been when they first met and it wasn't the kind of thing you adjust to quickly!
"Are you sure you can undestand monkey speak Tarrant?"
"Of course! I'm telling you. It's just like English to me."
"You wouldn't just make it up would you?"
Tarrant busied himself with making the tea. YH moved through to the living room and joined Eduardo in front of the T.V.
"How many sugars, Eduardo?" yelled Tarrant.
"ngkaaa ookgee!" the primate replied.
YH stared in amazment as Tarrant casually added 2 sugars to Eduardo's tea. I'll never get used to this, he thought to himself.
"After this cuppa, we'll head round to Ant's and I'll find out just what happened at the hospital on the way." Tarrant announced.
"Sounds like a plan" replied YH.
"He said he broke in, to get food!" replied Tarrant.

"Sounds like a plan" replied YH.
The pair felt a little silly now as they found out that it was only Eduardo.
Tarrants face was turning red in rage.
Tarrant glared at his monkey. “W-why you little…”
Tarrant couldn’t finish his sentence because Eduardo kindly offered him a sandwich.
Tarrant regained his normal face colour and began talking to Eduardo.
“You scared me out of my wits Eduardo, why did you brake in?” asked Tarrant.
“Well, I was hungry man, and you wasn’t around to answer the door so I just broke in, I hope you didn’t mind”
“What?! You are joking!” shouted Tarrant. “Of course I mind.
Eduardo put on a puppy face look and Tarrant couldn’t help but feel sorry for the monkey.
“Okay, I forgive you, anyone want a cup of tea?”
Eduado nodded.
Meanwhile Ant has turned into a physco, was he under a spell?
Ever since Wookiee gave him a visit he has been in a trance. He hasn’t moved from his bed for 3 days now.
Is he thinking of ways to kill M16?

.... the posse were going to get a new minibus. Saesee was thinking mabye a van would be better this time. All the greats had a van!
The Scooby gang, the A-Team... there were probably some more that he couldn't remember right now.
Saesee got up and went to his fridge. Perhaps there was something in there that would make his pizza increase to a level near pepperoni.
No joy. He slumped, once more, onto the floor and waited, tummy grumbling, for his sub-standard pizza to arrive.
Then, simultaneously, the phone started ringing and the doorbell sounded.
Confused by the possibility of needing to be in two places at once, Saesee decided to stay put. His tummy perpetuated its grumbling,which reminded him that he was waiting for a pizza which, eventually, spurred him to get up and answer the door.
He got up and answered the door. It was M16.
"Hey Saesee! Have you heard anything from Ant? No-one has seen him and he won't answer the door or phone!"
Saesee stood wondering wether Ant was suffering from the same problem he had just experienced.
"Saesee? are you ok?"
"Yes, Fine. Sorry I was a million miles away! Err.... no I haven't seen Ant!"
"I'm pretty sure he's in his house but he won't answer the door!" M16 was getting quite distressed.
"Quick!" said Saesee, a brilliant plan having formed in his head. "WE must order him a pizza!"
----------- -------- ----------
Tarrant and YH, back on foot now, walked around the streets, still hunting Eduardo.
YH put away his mobile. "Saesee isn't answering his phone. He must be out!" said YH.
"We'll have to try him later!" replied Tarrant.
"How long is it since you were at home Tarrant?"
"Well now lets see. I left yesterday morning, stayed in your front garden last night and now it's...." Tarrant looked at his watch. "8 o'clock pm!"
"That's quite a while. Mabye we should check there!"
"Good idea, in theory YH! But you see, I have his keys!"
Tarrant displayed the sleak gold key chain that belonged to Eduardo. YH remembered giving it to Eduado on his last birthday. Tears, unexpectedly sprang to his eyes.
"Don't worry old chap" said Tarrant having turned into the comforter rather than the unconsolable.
"We'll find him."
YH wiped his eyes, he felt a little daft. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had seen Tarrant in worse shape, he'd have been REALLY embarrased.
"I tell you what" Tarrant began "We'll swing by my place anyway, pick up some food and then head back to Ant's!"
"OK then let's get a move on" replied YH, feeling a little better already.
------- --------- ---------
M16 headed down the street toward Ant's house with Saesee following behind, a little out of breath.
"Come on Saesee! At least try to keep up!" M16 yelled.
"If you hadn't stopped the damn bus in the middle of a busy road, I wouldn't have to! You could have driven the damn thing!"
M16 decided to let this one go unpunished. But that would be Saesee's last chance.
Saesee saw a domino's mo-ped fly past them in the other direction.
"Oh NO!!! My pizza."
Saesee dropped to the floor in sheer frustration.
M16 pressed on, Ant's house was now in sight.
--------- ----------- -----------
Tarrant and YH approached Tarrants house cautiosly. The door was ajar and they could see that it had been forced.
Tarrant, trying to keep up this hard image he was projecting took the lead, as they quietly stepped inside.
Tarrant pushed the door to the living room open and took a peak inside. No-one there.
Tarrant heard something fall and break. The noise came from the kitchen.
YH and Tarrant approached the door. They knew the drill.
On 3, as always, they would jump into the kitchen and pounce on the intruder.
YH held three fingers up.
He dropped one.
Then the next one.
The final finger dropped.
Tarrant toar the door open and the pair jumped through the door to find..........
The Scooby gang, the A-Team... there were probably some more that he couldn't remember right now.
