I'M BAAACK

foam covered, mishapen, disfigured, p'ed off, ANIMAL!

[Magpie]

The Animal arose, slowly oozing out of his rubber shell, like a creature from hell, long gangly arms covered in some sort of amour, however  the Justice League Of Field Players were not sure as there was no hands only a paddle on one hand a what appeared to be a staff of some sort.

“Holy ASICS Forward Man, that animal, that beast, that creature has stick like ours, how can that be” exclaimed Middie, “Elementary my dear chum we were once from the same race, however some were drawn to the Dark Side. The half wits are the start, then they become similar to Bill & Ben, then to the two minions and finally the Animal”.

“Holy Batfink, but then how does the Evil Dr Goalie fit in” rambled Middie. Ohhh shut up thought Middle Man along with the Justice League Of Field Players, “Lucky we made him wear that tin foil hat at least he can not annoys us telepathically” he thought to his friends.

“In a long time past Dr Goalie and Dr Centre, who I am a descendant of, were close friends and would play together on the field we now do battle on. The field was once lush grass with trees all-around, birds would chirp happily as the two played endless games. Then Dr Lie, who Sergeant Umpire descends from came along and was displeased with the way Dr Goalie & Dr Centre played together” explained Forward Man.

On Centre Forward Man continued, “Dr Lie conspired with his gods, the FIH to find away to break this happy union apart”. “First Dr Lie introduced rules, known only to the Lords of FIH and himself, and if the two came to understand the rule would be changed”. “On and on this battle raged, Dr Lie became more frustrated that he could no drive a wedge between the two friends”.

“Finally, the FIH Lords decided that the there could no longer be a Dr Goalie as his position was becoming too popular”. “In a final move Dr Lie uttered the words “The FIH Lords decree that you no longer exists and may no longer take part in the game that causes you so much joy”

“The sky became dark, large ominous clouds rolled in, lightning began to strike the ground between Dr Goalie and Dr Centre”. “No” screamed Dr Centre, “I am nothing without you” the two tried to leave the field but alas the FIH had placed a barrier the bench of Mordor and a figure called the TDeish who also blocked there way.

Dr Lie was loosing confidence as the bond was too strong, “Dr Goalie I banish thee to remain inside your circle and live in your net” roared Dr Lie, as these words were uttered a white line rose to separate the two friends, but still the two friends struggled against the forces of the FIH. In a final rein of power the Lords of FIH changed the field from grass to a strange new grass that was no longer alive, bestowed the whistle of the ancients and the three card of power on Dr Lie.

Unleash hell ordered the Lords of FIH, destroy their bond. Dr Lie put the whistle of the ancients to his lips and with out warning a loud piercing shriek erupted and pierced the air, the force blew open the new surface and caused it to melt around Dr Goalie.  “Dr Centre I curse thee that when you cross the white line that defines the home of Dr Goalie you must do battle for you can no longer be friends” and in the distance Dr Goalie uttered a curse of his own, one that struck Dr Lie down “While you occupy this field of what we must now do battle with, I curse you to be followed by The OBJECTINATOR who will never give you peace” with that Dr Goalie melted into the new surface.

Three reasons for this post

• To bring this to the top of this thread without making it sticky; and
• To encourage Redscotty to either move the story
• or encourage somebody else to move it along

I'll give it a go :-

So it was to be, FORWARD-MAN would use DRAGFLIKARSE to combat the evil ANIMAL.  It was then when Middie realised that they did not have the DEFLECTICON to distract the evil ANIMAL so that DRAGFLICKARSE would work.  Middie said to himself "Here I come to save the DAY"  I will become DEFLECTICON.

FORWARD-MAN gave the signal to the INJECTINATOR, "Soon the Evil Animal will not be able to use KRITISM-NITE against us".  The INJECTINATOR started his action.

Middie "I must get to the Evil Animals Lair to assist FORWARD-MAN as quick as possible"

FORWARD-MAN enacted the power of DRAGFLICKARSE with all his might, to FORWARD-MAN's dismay the white Rock did not go exactly where he desired. Instead the white rock was heading straight for Middie.

"KAP-POW" the white ROCK impacted with a tremendous force.

As Middie was falling to the ground everything faded to black and there were voices......................

Dr Goalie: "The son of FORWARD-MAN must not become a FORWARD."
Animal: "If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally."
Dr Goalie: "Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?"
Animal: "He will join us or die, my master."

Middie then realised who was talking, it was the EVIL DR Goalie and his Apprentice the Evil ANIMAL.

DR GOALIE: "He is awake my Dark Apprentice"

Animal: "Impressive. Most impressive. FORWARD-MAN has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me."

Animal: "Your destiny lies with me Middie. FORWARD-MAN knew this to be true.
Middie: "No... "

Somewhere in the distance, Middie recognised the whistle of the Ancients, and started to get up off the strange green ground where he was laying.

ANIMAL: "There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you."
[pauses]
ANIMAL: "Middie, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the Hockey Field."
Middie: "I'll never join you."

Animal: "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. FORWARD-MAN never told you what happened to your father.
Middie: He told me enough. He told me you stopped him from scoring.
Animal: "No. *I* am your father."
Middle: "No. No. That's not true. That's impossible."
Animal: "Search your feelings. You know it to be true."
Middie: "Nooooo. Nooooo."



Next, that's all from me for now.

Thank you for the Star Wars inspired version Turtle.  :drool:

[nerd_is_the_word]

nexxxxxt, come on guys it isnt that hard, if you cant think of anything just do a turtle and pick a movie that everyone has watched and make a parody of it

[David Gillard]

The anciants saw the trickery being employed by the animal and called sargent umpire to call a lull in the battle, where he told the all knowing coach that winning 1 BATTLE  does not mean you have won the war, So the all knowing coach added 2 knew weapons to his battle wagon these being a left Middie and a left forward man so the animal would have much more to control in the dreaded lair when the white rock finally arrived.

An eerie quiet fell over Middle Earth as the siege of the White Castle, Osgiliath, resumed. The cursed Defence-Wraiths returned to their defensive positions along the end-line of the castle, wearing their dreaded face-masks, lead by their Animal-King. Frodo Forward-Man was flanked by his best friend, Sam the Stopper, Merry and Pippen the Flankers, and Aragorn the Deflector. He looked upon his friend Giml the Injector, who stood with the palantíri, waiting for the signal.

An angelic note emerged from out of the blue, sent forth by the ancients. Time was again moving against the Fellowship. Gimli used his axe to move the palantíri swiftly across the plain of Pellenor straight to Sam, who begged of Frodo Forward-Man:

"Go on, Frodo, take it! You're the only one who can!"

Frodo felt the terrible pull of the evil within the palantíri and the weight of this great task charged to him. He felt a great tiredness in his muscles, a cold in his very bones and his Elven Stick felt to be the weight of a hundred Huorns. From somewhere within his being an unknown energy thrust his Elven Stick at the waiting palantíri, which flew towards the waiting  Animal-King. The screams of the Defence-Wraiths charging on their terrible steeds from the centre-line of Isengard grew even more piercing as they neared their King.

Suddenly, the Animal-King drew back his immense Gloved Hand and sent the palantíri straight back into Frodo's shoulder. A searing cold ripped through his body, and as he fell to the ground he could see the faces of the Defence-Wraiths - tormented, ancient, forever trapped by their greed to possess the One Trophy into service of the Animal-King.

The Defence-Wraiths drew closer all around Frodo, drawing back their poisoned Sticks to inflict the fatal blow until suddenly a great white light, accompanied by the same angelic music which governs the progress of Time, rushed in and chased away the Wraiths. A great fear and longing took hold of Frodo as he looked up into the face of his saviour, who could only be the Lady of the Whistle.

He remembered Gimli's warnings: The Lady was pure magic, enchanting any man to dared to look upon her. Even as he steeled himself to resist, he could hear her voice in his mind responding to his offer to take on his task to decide the game herself. The Lady's face grew dark and the ground shook as her voice resonated with the power of Middle Earth itself in every word:

You offer me this game? With this power, I would be terrible and beautiful, and all who whould look upon me would love me and despair!

For an eternity, it seemed The Lady would become the Dark Queen of this vision. Instead, the great Darkness left her visage, the earthern force subsided. Trembling, she said to Frodo,

"I passed the test. I shall pass over the Great Sea to the land of Bejing. But for now, I will see through this final battle for Middle Earth."

She smiled as Frodo's face showed his fear at knowing his solitairy fate.

"This task is charged to you and you alone, Frodo Forward-Man. But remember wherever you go, the light of the Rules will always be there to protect you."

This is a Hollywood Cowboy movie inspired version:

Ben Goalie and his faithfull companions retreated in the homestead of their ranch, "the Half-Circle". It had come to this, a last, desperate stand against the maurauding indian tribe, the Forwardis, and their brutal, deadly chief, "Always Swinging" .

Around and around rode the Forwardis, like angry ants. No place for man or reptile, the attacks continued unabated for 35 minutes. Finally, Always Swinging, who had been educated back east, called to Ben "I will give you five Minutes, Goalie, before my Forwardis come again. They will show no mercy when they come, you know that. They will take the scalps of you and your people, and special attention will be given to the 4 brothers, who have defied my warriers the Half-circle for so long."

Ben turned to the old, wizened and arthritic Kid Coach, now a shadow of his former self, and asked

"What Now"

The Kid looked up with the rhuemy eyes that now betrayed his once lethal gun skills, and said "stay strong Ben. Help is on the way, the cavalry is riding hard from Fort Midfield, and it caint be long 'til they gets here"

Defiantly, Ben Gaolie yelled out the window of the farmhouse, "We aint never gonnerr surrender, Swinging. This may look like a simple box on the flat green prairie to you, but to us its our home. Take your tribe back behind the line to your reservation, and leave us in peace"


With that a fusilade of shots came from the Forwardis, Always Swinging screaming "you defy me? there will be no mercy, Goalie, we will scalp you, take your land and laugh at the tears of your women"


Over the next ridge, the Cavalry from Fort Midfield was galloping to the rescue, thrashing their horses to a foam in their desparate bid to get back to the Half-Circle,

 but would the arrive in time?

Theme Song (to Queens - Flash)

Fowardy – Ah – Scorer of the Goal
Fowardy – Ah – He’ll score ev’ry one for us
Seemingly there is no reason for these
Extraordinary On the Field Upsets (ha ha ha)
What’s happening Forwardy? (by middle man)
Only sargent umpire formerly of Canada
Has provided any explanation
Fowardy – Ah – He’s a miracle
The last unprecedented miracle save
Is no cause for alarm
Fowardy - Ah - King of the impossible
He's for ev'ry one of us
Stand for ev'ry one of us
He'll score with a mighty stick
Ev'ry foward ev'ry half ev'ry back
With a mighty Smash
Dr Evil Fowardy approaching
Man the Goals
Dispatch the Animal to bring back his body

Fowardy - Ah
Fowardy's alive (by middle man)
Fowardy - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
Just a toy with a toy's courage
He knows nothing but a toy
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May score the golden goal oh oh oh oh
Fowardy Fowardy I love you (by middle man)
But we only have fourteen seconds to score the goal (by middle man)

Now I have to go download the song because I don't remember how it goes.... 

Brilliant, Magpie. Nice change of direction.
