Mommy!...I Really Did See A Monster Under The Dental Chair!...Part 1.

Just getting back from the supermarket with a pack of chocolate chip cookies and popcorn, you sit down, then recline in your comfy recliner and turn on this week's dental drama, so that your "I really like dreaming often about me flying with my arms outstretched above the houses in the city, but my only worry is staying away from the power lines" smile can be thoroughly entertained by continuing the previous preface adventure found in ""Astrodentites!"..."The Teeth" of Supermassive Black Holes, Discovered By Astronomer/Dentist!" and THAT IS WHERE CAPTAIN HSR, THE HANDSOME AND VIRTUAL HOMO CYBERGRAPHICUS, IS RIDING ALONG IN HIS INTERGALACTIC SUPERSTAR CRUISER, THE "BLACK TACHYON,"

AND HE IS SUDDENLY PAID A SURPRISE VISIT BY AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE, LAZERIA BLUE,

FROM THE ZOOMERIA CLUSTER, AND SHE DOES THIS BY INSTANTANEOUSLY ENTERING THE BLACK TACHYON'S PROTECTIVE FORCE FIELD IN HER "CELESTIAL CONDENSER" SPACE SHIP

WHICH EMPLOYS CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY THAT OVERCOMES LINEAR SPACE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, BY ALLOWING IT TO TRANSMUTATE AND JUST "SHOW UP," FULL STRENGTH, AT PREDETERMINED COORDINATES, ANYWHERE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE,

AND LAZERIA WARNS CAPTAIN HSR TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT HIS UPCOMING SECRETIVE HAUL OF THE SUPER-RARE AND POWERFUL 120-PROTON ELEMENT WINGNIUM, AND HSR WONDERS IF THE SHIPMENT IS SO SECRET, HOW DOES EVEN SHE KNOW ABOUT IT (?) ...

...SO HSR THANKS HER AND PROMISES TO GET TOGETHER WITH HER IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT AS SHE SAYS GOODBYE AND LEAVES, SHE SURREPTITIOUSLY TAKES HIS "RESOURCE POUCH" FROM HIS POCKET, SORT OF LIKE THIS,

...BUT KNOWING THAT SHE IS A SLY FOX, HSR PLANTS A GALACTIC GPS SENSOR ON HER SUIT TO KEEP HIM AWARE OF HER LOCATION, THEN SHE JUST "DISAPPEARS" BACK ONTO HER SHIP, AND IN THREE SECONDS, HER SHIP "DISAPPEARS" WITH A "POOF" INTO THE DARK COSMOS,

...SO NOW HSR NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHO LEAKED THE CLASSIFIED WINGNIUM HAUL INFO AT HEADQUARTERS...

...AND AFTER ARRIVING BACK THERE, CAPTAIN HSR TELLS HIS STORY TO COMMANDER WHIPLEY...

...WHO SEEMS TO SHOW ONLY PERFUNCTORY CARE AND CONCERN ABOUT THE UPCOMING TRANSFER OF THE WINGNIUM PROPERTY, BUT HSR KNOWS THAT TOP DOLLAR WILL BE PAID BY INTERSTELLAR PIRATES, AND OTHER ROGUE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THE MILITARY-ADVANTAGE-PRODUCING WINGNIUM STUFF, AND AT THE END OF THE DEBRIEFING, COMMANDER WHIPLEY SAYS, "WE STILL PLAN TO GO ON WITH THE SHIPMENT, HOWEVER, WE WILL EMPLOY DECOY SHIPS MOST OF THE WAY THERE, AND THE COUNCIL HAS DECIDED TO ASSIGN A SOLID SOLDIER TO AID YOU IN THIS MATTER...MAJOR... WILL YOU PLEASE ENTER"...

                 

"CAPTAIN HSR," CONTINUES COMMANDER WHIPLEY, "MAJOR SWEE HERE, WILL ASSIST YOU IN EVERY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THE WINGNIUM GETS TO ITS PROPER DESTINATION, AND YES, CAPTAIN HSR, I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD PREFER TO WORK ALONE, BUT THIS EDICT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP!," AND HSR THINKS, "STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP, EH?...MAYBE THEY'RE THE ONES PLANNING THE HIJACK!"...

THEN HSR EXTENDS HIS HAND TO GREET MAJOR SWEE, AND SHE SMILES A LITTLE, AND SHE SAYS,  "GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE, CAPTAIN HSR...I'M FROM THE STIXX SECTION OF THE SIXTY-NINTH NEBULA,"

AND HSR SAYS, "THAT PLACE?...THE FIRST "SPACE GHETTO?", WHERE THE MOST FEROCIOUS FIGHTERS ON THIS SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE COME FROM?, WELL, IN THAT CASE, I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU!,"

COMMANDER WHIPLEY THEN STATES, "GOOD LUCK ON YOUR MISSION, SOLDIERS...I MUST GO NOW."...

...HSR THINKS TO HIMSELF THAT HE HAS TO WATCH HIS BACK NOW, BECAUSE HE HAS AN UNEASY FEELING ABOUT THE COMMANDER AND THE HIGHER UPS...AND THE NEW MAJOR WORKING WITH ME...WELL, HER KIND ARE QUICK TO SEND THEIR ADVERSARIES INTO NEXT WORLD...WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED!...

...SO NOW, HSR, HIS CREW, AND MAJOR SWEE ALL HEAD INTO HIS SPACESHIP, THE BLACK TACHYON, AND GET SET TO TAKE OFF WITH THE WINGNIUM...

CAPTAIN HSR ALL OF A SUDDEN GETS A GUT FEELING TO GO AND CHECK OUT THE WINGNIUM CONTAINERS, SO HE TELLS MAJOR SWEE AND THE OTHERS THAT HE'LL BE IN THE SHIP'S CONTROL ROOM SHORTLY...

HE GOES TO THE LEVEL WHERE THE WINGNIUM IS KEPT AND TAKES A LOOK AT THE CONTAINERS...

AND HE TAKES A LOOK INSIDE ONE OF THE SUBUNITS...

AND, SEEING IT IN HIS OWN HOT LITTLE HANDS, HE DIRECTLY WITNESSES WINGNIUM'S HUNGRY, CHURNING, AND SCARY POWERS...

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, CAPTAIN HSR," SAYS A VOICE RIGHT BEHIND HIM..."I WANT YOU TO TURN AROUND REAL SLOW, AND SET THE SUBUNIT DOWN, THEN BACK AWAY LIKE A NICE LITTLE SOLDIER, OKAY!"...

SO HSR, KNOWING THAT THE WINGNIUM IS "PLANET-SHATTERINGLY" EXPLOSIVE, DOES AS HE IS TOLD AND SETS IT DOWN REALLY SLOW AND LOOKS AT THE PERSON WANTING TO TAKE IT...

AND SHE LOOKS DEADLY SERIOUS...

"YOU'VE GOT SOME BALLS...JUST COMING IN HERE RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES AND TAKING THIS STUFF," LAMENTS HSR...

"OH, I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME, TOO, PRETTY BOY," CHIDES THE WINGNIUM THIEF...

AND THEY BOTH "DISAPPEAR" INTO THIN AIR, AND ONTO HER WAITING SHIP...

...JUST LIKE LAZERIA BLUE DID, AND...POOF!

...JUST LIKE THAT!...THEY AND THE WINGNIUM ARE GONE!

                                                                                                                           Back to Love Toothbrush®                                                        

"I just ate some food a little while ago, and it...came in handy!"







Hello everyone. My real name is Rio Acalanzazonabonavich, and one day, my older stepsister, who likes me sometimes, but sometimes not, was asked to take me to the dentist for a check up and cleaning, and she told my Mom, "Sure, I can take him, and I have just the right dentist in mind" while she looks at me with a look in her eye that I couldn't quite understand.

So we get into the car, and the sun is bright and shiny, and we drive a ways, and later, we stop at a sort of eerie-looking place...

...then the weather all of a sudden changes for the worse...and my stepsister tells me to get out of the car and go in by myself. and that they are expecting me.

"Don't you have to sign some papers?" I ask.

And she says, "Rio, all of that's already done! I'll come back in an hour. See ya!" And she burns rubber to get out of there in a hurry.

So, I, with wide eyes, turn around and survey the scene carefully, because this place looks sort of scary, and...I don't see any other patients coming in or going out.

Now, I'm walking down the path to the office and...OMG!...a person in pain is caught in tree form...

...which, I must say, is not good PR for a dental office...and right here!...on the other side!...

...is this one trying to tell me a message?...I'm keeping my ears and eyes open!...

I make it to the stairs and slowly climb them, some of them squeaky, and finally, I reach the top and the front door.

There is no doorbell button to press in sight, so I look up a little higher, and I see a heavy door knocker that looks like it's at least 200 years old,

So I knock it against the door...twice!

...and the bang gives a deep and loud echo...loud enough to almost wake up the you-know-who!

Whoa!...the door slowly and creakily opens by itself...with a starting low sound that shrieks higher...eerrrrrrrrrrrr...

A voice speaks out...It says, "Come on in Mr. Rio, we've been waiting for you...just walk down the hall!"

Walking cautiously for a long way, and passing by many closed doors, I finally reach a door on the right.

"Hi there, Mr. Rio. My name is Blanca, Blanca Molaris. I'm your dental nurse today."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Molaris," I say back, showing my best manners.

"Dr. Mout, Dr. Pulla Mout is new to our office. He will be seeing you today...just to check and see how you are taking care of your mouth.

"All of your many papers and insurance long forms...

are in order, so you can continue down the hall and choose a chair that you want to sit in," says Mrs. Molaris, as she gives me a genuine, yet old-world, smile.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Molaris, you are so kind," I say back as I start to leave the room...but I stop and ask one more question, "Am I going to get any shots today?"

Mrs. Molaris looks up from writing on some papers and laughs, "Would you like any?"

"No, Mam," I quickly let it be known.

"Well, Mr. Rio Ascalanzazonabonavich, today is just a check up, so no shots! Dr. Pulla Mout will explain everything to you," she reassures me.

"Gee, you're one of the very few people that get my name right on the first try!" I giggle a little, "See ya!"

So, now, I have a little happier feeling, and I start walking down the hall more...and I see one chair...

But, there's an "Out Of Order" sign on the door, so, I keep walking...and come to another room with an older chair...

"Wow, this dental place looks like it was around maybe during the Revolutionary War!" I think to myself. I decide to keep on going and see more....

What a strange painting on the wall...

...of a thumbsucker!

Going on to the next open door...Shucks!...This one will make me feel like I'm...

                       

... slipping out!...Next!

So, I come to the next room, and this chair...

...is sort of cool, but I'll bet that General George Washington frequented this place! I sit down in the chair, and it's not comfortable at all...and I start to hear some squeaky and muffled noises under the chair...but in a way, I don't want to look...cause at home, when I look under stuff, I imagine the wrong things. It all started out when a strange dog ran in our house off the street...I found him hours later under my bed...

And sometimes, when I go to my friend's house, even today, I'd be scared of the dark and swear that some things were really there by the bed at night...looking at me!...

So, as I'm sitting in this dental chair, the muffled noises are getting louder under it, and it seems like something or someone is trying to tell me something...

So, I get up out of the chair and walk around to the other side...and I see a trap door almost under the chair ...and I lift it up!

But I don't see anyone now, and I take a look down the stairs...

...and it's dark and uncertain...but something inside of me seems to be urgently wanting to go down and investigate!

So I take a couple of steps down and ...Oh no!...The trap door shuts...and it won't open! Stuck!

Now, I tell myself, "Rio, be brave, this is all in your mind." And also, "that just may be the problem!"

When I get to the bottom of the stairs,

...I pry and push the rudely uncooperative door open...of course with some squeak...

And I tip toe in...

Then I barely hear a whispering voice, "Rio, over here, come quickly"

"H...How do you know my name?" I stammer, feeling that something unusual is going to happen...like when I first walked into this place!

Now, I can barely make out something in the shadows...it's a person in a hoodie!

"By the time I say your long name, we might be in immediate danger!" warns a woman with a heavy accent...

"We must leave this place right now...all of us are in danger! Climb aboard!" We gallop swiftly down a cavernous, almost unreal-looking hall!

The woman secretly tells me, "Rio. I will tell you all of what is going on...as soon as we get away from here!"

"But I have to see the Doctor, and my step sister is going to worry!" I plead with her.

"Rio Azacalanzazonabonavich, whether you know it or not, there is a massive conspiracy that you must conquer...

...starting right now!

TO BE CONTINUED!...









May you have many...who do you believe, me or your lying' eyes?...don't do what I do, but do what I say do!...reality is real, only if you want to believe it!...smiles!
