Roleplay:Taxageddon

From the PBC >> Taxageddon is safe from deletion during the Project: Epic era.

''"Large taxes without approved faxes is ABSOLUTE TYRANNY!" or "Large taxes without faxes is absurd!" or "Taxes with no faxes is dictator-like!"''

Let's face it, everyone has to pay taxes. Of course, taxes can be raised by maybe .0009% every year, but this RP is filled with OUTRAGEOUS taxes! I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about: The Federal Republic of Emeraldsbourg is considering passing the Military Tax Act 2010 to enact a new military tax of 19.6%!!!? But that's not all. More large taxes will come. How will everyone act with them?

Emeraldsbourg Parliament
''Well, duh! Who would pass the big taxes?? Because it is SB's country, SB13 will control Parliament. They will be villains, but some may be helpful.''

Heroes
''These guys and girls try to fight the taxes. How?''

 * PBC Employees (SB13)
 * MEP from Chaos Lake District 1 (SB13; he's the ONLY Parliament member who opposes Taxageddon)

Neutral
''These guys and girls support and/or oppose the taxes. What are their motives, though?''
 * Billy-Ray the Hedgehog (played by Vamp. His employer AND him both dislike these taxes, so he's been hired to assassinate all the MEPs.)

Villains
These people support the taxes and will do anything to stop the heroes.

Prologue: Passage of the Military Tax Act
MEP 1: We must raise revenue.

MEP 2: But HOW????

(Yelling is occurring on the House of Legislators floor, but then, another Parliament member steps in.)

MEP 3: We should raise taxes!

MEP 2: Are you BONKERS???

MEP 3: No, but look at the BENEFITS! (shows everyone the benefits.)

MEP 1: That's pretty good.

''So then, Parliament took their final vote. However, an MEP from Chaos Lake figured out a way to raise money without raising taxes. ''

Chaos Lake MEP: Wait!!!!........

''But by then, it was too late. Although the 19.6% increase in taxes was peculiar, Parliament still passed it 194 to 29 in September, and the Prime Minister....''

Prime Minister: Oh well.......

Chaos Lake MEP: NO!!!!!!!! (He can only watch in silence as the Prime Minister SIGNS the act, making it a law.)

Prime Minister: And so, the Military Tax Act is passed.

Chaos Lake MEP: Oh my goodness.....

Part 1: Road to another tax?
[RP starts here]

(Meanwhile...)

Scooter: Ahhh....(Scooter is seen relaxing on Loka Beach, when he gets the news of the new tax)....HOLY FUDGECAKES!!!! A 19% TAX??? This is outrageous!

(Soon, other residents are getting the news as well.)

Person: Those fudgers at Parliament! TAXES WITHOUT FAXES IS ABSURD!!!

People: Yeah!

(Soon, everyone is chanting "Taxes without faxes is absurd". Ryu happens to hear the chanting...)

Ryu: Huh? What's going on...?

Scooter: Those bastards in PARLIAMENT made this 19% military tax! (Walks on, shouting)

Ryu: 19%?!
 * (Ryu-Although in all reality, I'm terrible at math and percentages! :B)

Person: It's a LOT of Mobiums. And look, they want to pass ANOTHER tax for 25%!

(However, there was one MEP that hated the taxes, too. He was watching from an unknown ledge.)

Chaos Lake MEP: Hmmm.....should I join?...

Ryu: This is ridiculous! I'm joining the protest!

(Ryu joins the protestors.)

All of Them: TAXES WITHOUT FAXES IS ABSURD!!!

(At the Legislative Center, Mobius Corners.....)

MEP 1: We should pass this act, too.

MEP 2: You know, we might attract protestors.

MEP 1: Do you WANT to get fired?

MEP 2: NO!!! (in a corner, he is cuddled up) I love my job....I love my job.

Speaker of the House: Order, order. We vote on the passage of the Levied Sales Tax Act.

(With the Protestors)

[Shahooter seems to be in the Protest, along with Cameron and the Imperial Guard, Space Guard, and strangely, the out-dated Windstalkers...]

(Rrrrrofl)

(Meanwhile....)

MEP 1: I vote "yes".

Speaker of the House: Well, that was the last vote. So we will PASS the Levied Sales Tax Act.

[A series of boos is heard. Someone throws a rotten tomato.]

MEP 2: (out of the corner) Maybe we should repeal.....

MEP 1: NO!!!!

???: "Oh yeah?"

[A rotten tomato hits MEP 1's Shoe. The thrower appeared to be Cameron the Wolf, the crowd gasps.]

Cameron: "You are someone who tries and holds extreme power in the court....what do they call 'em now a days..?"

MEP 6: Sorry sir, but the High Court is not in session today.

(Shanoa, Albus, Kotuumath and Linebeck are also there!)

Linebeck: I know what to call 'em! A fat cat!
 * (Ryu-Not meaning to offend any cats out there LOL)

Cameron: "I don't care if it's not in session."

[Cameron opens a Data-slate over-looking pages of his History Book on "How a Law is made".]

???: PROTEST FAIL!

MEP 1: How a law is made, NOT how a law is made in the F.R.E.

Cameron: "Pfft, here, hold this..."

[Cameron hands a Football to MEP 1.]

Kyle: (appears behind the MEP1) BOO! I say again, PROTEST FAIL!

MEP 1: And I say, (pulls an alarm) Warning! Intruder alert! (Robots and Midland Corps guards come in to apprehend.)

Cameron: "Rofl..."

[Random Windstalkers come in and snatch the ball from MEP 1, accidentally landing on Kyle.]

[Cameron clicks a button on his Wristwatch.]

(Kyle teleports out of the way.)

Kyle: Why has nothing exploded yet? This is a PROTEST, not a tea party!

Kotuumath: Yeah! Let's blow things up1

Midland Corps Member: ALERT!!! Apprehend by ANY MEANS NESSECARY!!

(Midland Corp troops and robots attack)

Kyle: Now THIS is more like it!

[The attacks turn into like a Barfight, the Robots suddenly deactivate.]

Cameron: "Wasen't called a Technopriest for nothin'."

[Cameron sticks out his tongue and shrugs.]

MEP 7: (sends out a radio message)

Kyle: W00T! (blows up something)

[More Windstalkers and Imperial Guardsmen come in...they seem to see the fight as a test of muscle and strength...Cameron deploys a weird looking thing.]

(Soon, federal troops and S.W.A.T Sullivan County officers come in)

S.W.A.T Officer: You are ALL under arrest!

Albus: OHSHI-

Cameron: "Well...we are just protesting, but sirs, I say you see this..."

[Cameron shows a clip from the weird looking device, it shows MEP 1 saying "Intruder Alert." as Cameron was protesting.]

Random Windstalkers: "Well, we only see this as a test of our mettle."

S.W.A.T Officer: Fine, but you (points to Kyle) are under arrest for destruction to government property!

Kyle: Nup. Screw you! (vanishes)

S.W.A.T Officer: (on radio) All police officers, please be on the lookout for "Kyle the Hedgehog". He is WANTED for destruction to government property.

Cameron: "Well, seeing this protest act is done...smoothies anyone, excluding Kyle."

[Cameron gives off a nasty glare at Kyle for using a bomb.]

(Later...)

[Cameron was drinking a Vanilla Milkshake, everyone else has Strawberry, or Apple Smoothies...Cameron seemed to have a very good economy even though he's such a young boy in his teenage years.]

(On PBC One) Katie: I'm Katie Lambard with your update.....Parliament has voted to pass the Blountford Acts.....

Cameron: ..."Blight."

Katie:...these acts will create taxes on food, paper and fruit juice.

Cameron: "Excuse me for a moment.."

[Cameron walks into the males' restroom, a series of Cameron's jabbertalk is heard in there.]

Cameron: "Dang it Daggit! Of all the Jibber-Jabber!"

Shanoa: Um....

[Oddly, the only MEP who HATES the taxes is an MEP from Chaos Lake...]

Part 2: Meeting/The Food Tax
Chaos Lake MEP: Where can they be?? I want to talk to them.

[A hard knock is heard on the door.]

Chaos Lake MEP: I wonder who that is?

[The door is kicked open, it appears to be Cameron, with a grim look on his face.]

Chaos Lake MEP: WOAH!!! I oppose the taxes as well.

Cameron: "You wanted to talk with me?"

Chaos Lake MEP: My colleagues believe raising taxes without faxes is right, but I think it is ABSURD.

Cameron: "If they start a Glacian Tax, I'm sure they might draw in the Glacian Swordwielders..Then things'll look ugly ever since Shahooter's Rebellion."

Chaos Lake MEP: That rebellion....it's the reason why Stewburt repealed its laws but then passed the Windstalker Ordinance. It was amended later because of the Imperial Guard's formation. There is NO plan for a Glacian Tax.

Cameron: "The Windstalkers still exist...only a mere handful.."

(Meanwhile, the news is on...)

Katie: This is PBC NewsNet, the headlines at 5:30. Parliament proposes passing a food tax to make up for revenue....

(There is a collective groan throughout the small group.)

Linebeck: No wonder Parliament's also known as "The Ministry of F***"...

Katie: ....but they are also thinking about lowering the 19% Military Tax.

Ryu: Well, that's good.

(After the open)

Katie: We have breaking news; Parliament is voting on the Food Tax Revenue Act.

(Everyone watches the T.V intently.)

Speaker: Order, order. (2 votes left, it is 198 yea to 197 nay)

All: ..........

(Then, it is 198 each with 1 vote left, the Chaos Lake MEP!)

Scooter: Well, we can breathe a little easier.....

Kotuumath: Eh?

Scooter: Cameron met with him, he says he opposes the taxes too.

Shanoa: And he works for Parliament?

Scooter: Yes. He serves the city of Chaos Lake.

Ryu; Well, at least one of them's on our side.

(With the last vote....)

Chaos Lake MEP: I vote that....(collapses)

MEPs: (gasps, then some of them scream)

Speaker: Order, ORDER!

(Eventually, the Chaos Lake MEP gets up, but his pupils appear RED, not blue. So...)

Chaos Lake MEP: I vote.....(in a robot voice) Yes, the tax is needed.

Scooter: Gasp!thumb|100px|right

Ryu/Shanoa/Albus/Linebeck/Kotuu: OH NOES!! D:

(But then, the act must be SIGNED)

Prime Minister: What's this? A FOOD tax? WE ALREADY HAVE SALES TAX!!! (rips up the act)

MEP 1: I'll take that as a "veto".

Ryu/Shanoa/Albus/Linebeck/Kotuu: HOORAY!! :D

Prime Minister: But we could just raise the sales tax.

Ryu/Shanoa/Albus/Linebeck/Kotuu: OH NOES!! D:

Scooter: Are you guys gonna continue that?

Linebeck: That depends.
 * (Ryu-Lawl XD)

[Cameron kicks the door open.]

Cameron: "I object!"

Prime Minister: Overruled!

Cameron: "Did you see his eyes? Red."

Ryu: They were!

Prime Minister: Well, that was for the FOOD TAX, which was "vetoed". This is for raising the SALES TAX. He is currently in the hospital.

Ryu/Shanoa/Albus/Linebeck/Kotuu: ........

Cameron: "Then that proves your overrulement is unjust!"

[Most of the Crowd murmurs.]

Prime Minister: Sir, I advise you leave, as this is NOT a courtroom.

Cameron: "Yet everyone has the right to speak their mind. I say these new laws without any damned faxes is unjust!"

Kotuumath: Yeah!

Kyle: (appears) Did none of you people notice that his eyes were RED, and he sounded like A ROBOT!?

Albus: I noticed that!

Linebeck: Me too!

Prime Minister: SECURITY!!! It's Kyle, the WANTED hedgehog. Apprehend him and everyone else!

Ryu: Run away!! Run away!! Run away!!

(Suddenly...)

???: "Not if I can do anything about it.."

Cameron: ??? "That sounds like!"

[Shahooter was standing against the wall.]

Shahooter: "Arresting people for what they say is tyranny!"

Kyle: You'll never take me alive! (vanishes)

(In Parliament)

MEP 2: Guys, let's end this! We DO NOT WANT another rebellion like the Stewburt one.

MEP 3: What about the taxes?

MEP 2: This country might as well go broke.

(Meanwhile on The Universe, Shahooter's Flagship)

[In the Shooting Range the Windstalkers and Imperial Guards are seen doing Firing Practice.]

(In the Parliament building...)

MEP 2: Yep, this country might as well go broke.

MEP 3: But then how will we provide services?

MEP 2: Just cut 'em. The people might as well die.....
 * (Ryu-Ooh, dat's cold.)

(And so...)

(Very cold indeed, but little does Parliament know that the Glacian Nation has a large Economy, they'd support people.)

MEP 3: Or maybe we can ask PBC to support us.

(Can I control MEP 2 right now?)

[Sure.]

MEP 2: "No no no, you know that Prower is a friend of the Owl...And the Owl's a protester!"

MEP 3: I mean if we REPEAL every single tax we passed.

MEP 2: "Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding...but wouldn't the Glacian Nation end up bringing food?"

Part 3: More or Less Taxes; Counties get involved
MEP 1: But what about Stewburt?? They are still mad for what the Glacians did during the Rebellion......and Parkview is considering passing another ordinance about Windstalkers AND the Imperial Guard.

MEP 2: "Of course they're mad, but hey, They created the laws, so it's their loss...Parkview wants to prevent war because the Glacians are large in numbers, and the Owl has experienced War himself from such a young age."

MEP 1: Actually, the country is considering passing a GLACIAN tax to pay for Stewburt's damages.

MEP 2: "Unfortunately, that won't effect them, they are part of a different Nation..."

MEP 1: Oh well.

(in Hunter County, council board room)

Councilman: We still need to recover from the Rebellion.....

Councilman 2: We have bigger things to worry about....nobody will be happy until the owl that started it apologizes to Tails on LIVE TV and RADIO.

Councilman: Oh yeah. Then we will pass a TCUC TAX until further notice.

Councilman 3: How much?

Councilman: 2% for each day until that owl apologizes.

(Yet, that won't effect them, but this time, from the Glacian-Parkview Treaty..)

[Little do they know that since the Prime Minister signed the treaty, not the County or City, portions (but not all) of the treaty could be voided by the counties at any time.]

(in Parliament)

MEP 4: We're not the Ministry of f-word.......

'''MEP 1: I know. '''Anyway, Hunter County is thinking about passing a TCUC TAX, as well as Chaos and Mobo counties. Fow Toth Town, being international, should decide for themselves.

???: "Please, don't mention that name of the town to me..."

[It appears to be Shahooter, over-listening the chat seemingly...]

Shahooter: "Feh, I never want to see them ever again...the TCUC is LONG gone in F-T-T..."

Cipher's Lab!

(Meanwhile, again...)

Councilman: I want that TCUC TAX PASSED!

Councilman 2: Since the Rebellion, everyone has been MAD, and want to do something.

(But then, when a referendum was held, some residents wanted the tax to be 45%!)

Councilman: So be it, then.

???: "Not so fast!"

Councilman: ??

[It appears to be Cameron the Wolf and Cory the Blade Dragon.]

Councilman: Fred, hurry UP AND GET THAT TAX STAMPED!

Fred: I don't have it!

(Ryu and the others pop in.)

Ryu: Dun dun duuuuun!

Cameron: "Twirl..."

[Cameron seems to be twirling the stamp with his finger. How did he get that so fast!!?]

Cameron: "Now, I plead, Ammendment twenty-four of Section One in the Glace Handbook...Read 'em and weep."

[Cameron grabs a book out of his Techpack, it appears to have a Glaceon as the Glacian Nation's Mascot.]
 * (Ryu-Huh. i thought their mascot would be Articuno or Regice.)

Councilman: What will we do?

Councilman 4: Um, is this the tax you asked for?

Councilman: Yes. Oh, this is weird, the tax was ALREADY stamped!

Ryu: WAT

(Shanoa, Albus, Linebeck and Kotuumath perform simultaneous anime fall.)

[The next day, the Taxers come a knockin'. Ryu, Shanoa, Albus, Linebeck and Kotuu are lodging in a small apartment for the time being.]

Ryu: OHSHI-

Taxers: We demand your taxes, it's April 15th!!!

Linebeck: *whispering* Tell them we're not home!

Taxers: OPEN UP!!!!

Taxer: Do they have Plyphs? or Glyphs?

Kotuumath: (Pounds his fists together) Oh, I'll give those taxers "payment"...

Ryu: *whispering* Kotuumath, no!

Taxers: WE KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE!!!!

Albus: No we're not! Go away!


 * (Ryu-LOL this is fun)

(Soon, Parliament has passed a 6% Food Tax, a 2% Education tax, and a 34% Towns Tax. That's 42%!)

(Back)

Cameron: "Your violating Ammendment twenty-four section twenty-eight!"

Councilman: Well that's YOUR COUNTRY, not ours.

(Meanwhile with Johnny...)

Johnny: [wanders around] Hmmm... I wonder where Ryu and the others are?

Sylvia: In an apartment hiding from the Taxers.

Johnny: Really? [looks around] So, who are these "Taxers" I hear about anyway?

(Yelling is heard...)

Cameron: "Section Twenty-Eight states: Any other Country cannot tax one who is of a different Country than theirs' Priorus Lake isn't any of your part!"

Councilman: Well you can still be taxed while on this country's property!

Johnny: [hears someone yelling] Oh, I get what are "Taxes"! [runs off] Hang on, Ryu!

Cameron: "Screw you!"

[Cameron warps off, aparentally, the whole TCUC is also sent into Space...what's left of it's area is just a Tunnel.]

(Somewhere on the Moon)

[A mulitude of laughter is heard from the Windstalkers and Imperial Guard.]

Shahooter: "Well, they do not own the Moon, let's wipe the Trolls off this place."

(Back on Mobius..)

Taxers: OPEN UP!!!! We are here to collect your taxes!

(Johnny arrives at the apartment in search for Ryu. He spots one of the taxers and hides inside a large empty carboard box)

Taxer: Hang on guys....this is....a TAX RETURN, not a TAX COLLECTION!

Taxers: OK.....Open up!!! We need to give taxes BACK!!!

Johnny: [thinking] ''So those guys must be taxers. I gotta try and get to Ryu without anyone noticing...'' [slowly and stealthy approaches the room, while inside a large cordboard box]

Ryu: A tax return...?

Linebeck: Don't listen to him! ''He's a lie!! He's a lying cake!!''

Johnny: [still inside a cardboard box; thinking] Hang in there, guys!

(Just as Johnny is about to arrive at the room where Ryu and Linebeck is, he begins to have trouble with his footing and falls to the ground)

(SFX: THUD!)

Taxer: Someone's in that BOX!!! Forget the tax return right now!

Johnny: [struggles to get up to his feet] Ugh... [stumbles around (he's still inside the box) and falls down the stairs]

[SFX: Thump whud bang]

Ryu: WTF is that?!

Taxer: Call PBC One; we have a story for them today.

(SFX: Beep boop boop....)

Johnny: [groans as he staggers up to his feet (he takes off the cardboard box)] R...Ryu...?

Shanoa: Someone's calling you, Ryu...

(Ryu carefully opens the door.)

Johnny: [dazed] Oooyyy...

Ryu: Johnny?! What happened to you?!

Johnny: Trying to save you guys from them taxes crazies, Ryu. [shakes head] Ugh...

[Cameron's hologram appears in front of Ryushu.]

Cameron: "Guys, I have an idea...but not sure if it's a good one..."

Johnny: Cameron?

Cameron: "Yep, Shahooter needs your guys' clearance...please hurry, transmission is getting limited up here..."

Ryu: What's it for?

Cameron: "Teleporting to safer grounds.."

(Ryu looks at the others, who are nodding fervently.)

Ryu: Okay.

Johnny: So what should we do, Ryu?

(Meanwhile at the local PBC Station)

[There is a blip on the message box.]

Tails: What's that?

Shahooter [recordment]: "Okay, my Men and I are going to be living on the Moon, these Taxes are so unjust, even Cameron is pissed..However, also in response to these Taxes, people that come into any Glacian Town will be given a fourty-five cent tax-per-day."

Tails: Er........(Remembering the Rebellion, he deletes the message)

(Eventually, Parliament decides to pass the Coercive Trade Act. The Parliamentary Navy blocks access to Emerald Harbor and Mobibu Central Port. Parliament then says...)

Speaker: We do not wish to enter another war, but for the sake of national security, ports can only be accessed by a written permit from the Emeraldsbourg Sea Trade Agency.

[SB-Just to let everyone know, "taxes without faxes" means this: whenever Parliament propses a tax, a fax would be sent to officials calling for a vote. When faxes aren't sent, it is absurd!]

(Even though the Glacians do not have their Navy, the VS' Hover Fields would become great assistance for their land vehicles to become Sea vehicles...)

[Also, Cameron barricaded C&L's, a post near it is saying "Closed for the duration on the Worst taxes."]

(Thanks for the correction.)

(In Parliament)

MEP 3: We also need to levy a PBC Tax....

MEP 4: That would need Miles Prower's approval.

MEP 2: How about a licence fee, then?

(Most -but not all- of the MEPs murmur some approval)

MEP 5: And a Park Tax....and an Internet Tax!

(all -except the one from Chaos Lake- of the MEPs clap. By the end of the morning, over 50 new taxes are listed.)

MEP 14: THAT took a lot of typing.

MEP 6: You got that right!

(In the Glacian Mountains.)

Knight of Space: ....

Knight of Time: ....

Cameron: "I know, but if they take OUR internet, that's infringing OUR rights, Now that Shahooter's spirit is lingering in the Arcane Immortalium, I'm tasked with taking charge of the Glacian Nation."

(Literally saying, Shahooter's currently dead in the Real World and his Spirit is roaming the Darker parts of the Arcane Fields.)

(At Parliament)

Scooter: These stupid taxes are incredibly unjust! We'll just have to PURGE all of you!

MEP 4: What are you talking about, Hedgehog?

Scooter: ELECTION DAY is in 2 days.

MEP 5: AH!!! Hurry, we have to have these taxes passed!

???: "Ah ah ah, where's your stamp?...Twirling twirling twirling..."

MEP 3: Return that stamp to us.

???: "If you do you'll be pulling the Glacian Nation in another war."

[A figure with Shahooter's face pokes his head out and sticks out his tongue, however, Shahooter's believed to be dead!]

MEP 5: We don't want a war, if we have a war, it would be MOBIANWIDE. Scootania is our ally, Plance and Station Square, as well as Echidna Country. THAT's why we are not scared of passing taxes.

Shahooter?: "I'm not Shahooter actually, Fire-stripes decimated Station Square's Army years ago when Shahooter was declared hostile, I'm the New Leader of the Glacian Nation!"

[The face morphs back to Cameron's.]

Cameron: "Also Scooter is against you."

(Back in the apartment, the doors and windows have been boarded up. Albus peers out through a crack in the boarded window, watching for tax-collectors. He has Agartha unholstered and at the ready.)

(Then a Police Officer bangs the door down)

Officer: Freeze, you are ALL under arrest for....(is knocked down and dies on the floor by someone else in a shady outfit)

???: It's safe, quickly, move along!

(The five look at each other, shrug, and follow the cloaked stranger.)

Part 4: It Just Gets Worse...
(Because Election Day is soon, Parliament tries to pass incredibly stupid taxes, while training the military and increasing its size and power.)

MEP 1: If there was a war, we would have to declare martial law.

MEP 3: We should pass this Vehicle Tax...

MEP 17: ...and this Tree Tax.....

MEP 15: ...and this Lunch Tax!

(ALMOST everyone murmurs approval, but not everyone)

Chaos Lake MEP: *whispers* **** these taxes!

(Meanwhile.....)

???: Quickly, there isn't much time.

[A Chimerro stops near them. The view-slide door opens. It's Cameron and Joshua.]

Cameron: "Get the Hell in if you want to live."

???: Okay.......(gets in)

(Ryu, Shanoa, Albus, Linebeck and Kotuumath follow.)

???: ...But don't try to harm us, because I DO have training with the Emeraldsbourg Public Patrol!

(Sadly, Parliament, thinking the Glacian Nation was a safety concern, finally lifted SOME of the taxes, but decided to isolate themselves and their possessions from the Nation, finding business elsewhere. While many economists believed it was a dumb move, many people were happy about this, especially after the Rebellion. Although most countries condemned this act, neighbors, such as Echidna Country, Station Square and the Republic of Plance welcomed this decision.)

Plench ambassador to the FRE: We believe that this decision was the right choice, especially for a country that has suffered so much during the Rebellion.

(People clap, but do not express complete sympathy because of the taxes.)

(Back in the Chimerro)

Cameron: "I'm not going to harm you, we are crossing the border in ten seconds."

Linebeck: Ooh! I got a brainteaser for you guys! If a plane crashes right on the border of two different countries, what side do you bury the survivors on?

Cameron: "You bury them in your Mother's backyard. Because that's what your mother said."

Linebeck: No! You don't bury survivors!

[They cross the Border into Glacian Territory.]

Cameron: "Of course you don't, because now you can joke all you want."

(Feel free to get on the chat.)

???: Yes! We're safe....(jumps out of the Chimerro)....but I sense something bad is happening.

Albus: Huh?

Cameron: "Yeah, the Glacians are expecting War right now..."

(But Parliament, having been isolated from the Glacians, did not declare war at all.)

Cameron: "They're just waiting, waiting for Them (The MEPs, excluding Chaos Lake) to try and tax them in their turf."

???: They won't try to. Haven't you heard about the Isolation Crisis?

Ryu: ......no.....?

???: Well, the F.R.E. decided that the Glacian Nation is a security concern, so......all ports, including Emerald Harbor, are closed to Glacians, all airports (Except Mobius Corners) must not send any flights to Glacian territory, some of the taxes were lifted, and you must have a permit to drive into this country from Glacian territory.

Ryu: Some taxes?

???: Yea, like the Military Tax of 19% and the Gas Tax of 6%.

Ryu: ........which ones did they leave?

???: All of the others, including the new Lunch & Tree taxes. *murmurs* Isolation.....between two countries??

Albus: Ironically those are all the stupid taxes...... -_-'

Cameron: "Pff, Permit, I don't even own a license, But I am the Colonel of the Windstalker Army..."

???: Then why were you driving in our country if you don't have a license?

[Cameron pulls out his Glacian Military ID.]

???: That's not an F.R.E. driver's license, that's a foreign miitary ID.

[Cameron points to small text.]

Text: "This will act as the owner's Driver's Lcnse. As well as a Card Key to opening Wndstker./Imperil Grd. Gates."

???: Yep, that's a driver's license, but not an F.R.E. driver's license.

Cameron: "Meh, I don't even care about Parkview anymore..."

[Cameron Begins to walk away, the Chimerro sputtering out of gas.]

???: Don't blame Parkview, the national capital is Mobius Corners!!

(Then, Johnny is turned into his human form!)

Police officer: Under United Mobian Resolution 3454, humans must be deported to Station Square. (Takes Human Johnny under arrest)

Johnny (human): [gets arrested] What the--? What did I do?! I'm not a convict! I just had no clue on how I became human!

Police officer: OK, then. But we will have to bring you in for questioning. Step in the car, please.

Johnny (human): Err... okay. [walks inside the back of the car, sighs and places his hand onto his chest (since he felt like it was a police brutality)]

(At the Police Precinct)

Questioner: We will ask you a few questions. First, is your friend J the Hedgehog building a race course in Pulaski County?

Johnny (human): Hmmm... I met J, but he never told me that he was building a race course. Maybe he kept it as a secret.

Questioner: OK. Second, do you know how you were turned into a.......OH MY GOSH!!! NOW I know why you're a human....

Johnny (human): You do? Well, it happens to me on the most rarest occasions so.... yeah.

Questioner: I've been to Station Square, and I've heard about the U.A.S.C.A. I heard about their wild experiments, so that's my conclusion. An invisible ray, remote control, etc.

Johnny (human): Wow. If I can remember something about the U.A.C.S.A., they're pretty much... evil.

Questioner: Yea, well, OK. You can go.

Johnny (human): Thank you, sir. [leaves the Police Precinct and encounters Alyssa] Alyssa?

Alyssa: (looks at Johnny in surprise (Johnny is 5' 9" and is not a fox)) Johnny? Is..Is that you?

Johnny (human): [looks down] Yeah... it's me, except... human. Don't know how I became human...

Alyssa: (hugs Johnny around the waist (since he is now taller than her)) It's okay! We'll figure this out! (smiles)

Johnny (human): [pats Alyssa's head (even though she is a Mobian Wolf)] Aww thanks, Alyssa!

Alyssa: No problem! I love you no matter what, remember?

Johnny (human): I know, Alyssa. [carries Alyssa onto his hands (since Johnny/Jonnathan is 5 feet tall and Alyssa is 3 feet tall, due to her Mobian form)] I know.

Alyssa: (looks down at the ground) Wow...I never knew human were this tall..

Johnny (human): I know, it's pretty weird, even though I'm still a Mobian. Except when I'm human, my abilities are very limited, but I'm still me, right?

Alyssa: (nods) Right. Though it may not look like you on the outside, you're still you on the inside.

Johnny (human): Sure is, Alyssa. [Alyssa wraps him around his back and walks] Sure is.

Alyssa: (starts humming)

(Johnny (in his human form) and Alyssa (in her Mobian form) heads to the portal that takes them back to Chaos City)

Johnny (human): Here we are, Alyssa. Chaos City.

(They arrive at Johnny's house and they look at each other (Johnny is wearing glasses like Alyssa, but that's because of his human form))

[However....]

Anchor: Parliament is proposing, through the Mobian Assembly, passing taxes on Glacian soil. While the country is isolated, many contries, such as Plance and Scootania, prefer tax hikes on Glacian soil. Because Parliament has no authority to pass taxes in another country, the F.R.E. will try to get a resolution passed saying so.

Johnny (human): [hears someone (since he and Alyssa are in his backyard)] Did you hear that...?

(In the distance is a black news van with a female anchor reporting about Parliament's ultimate plan. Johnny then looks back at Alyssa)

Anchor: So this foreign development will spread to other countries, and soon the world could be under the taxes....
 * (Ryu-what if they tried to tax The Elemental Clans?)
 * [SB-Eh........BOOM!!!]
 * (Ryu-Who'd go "boom"?)
 * [SB-The world.]
 * (Ryu-LOL)

Anchor: .....through the Mobian Assembly.

(The Anchor is handed a card.)

Anchor: Actually, most of the world....
 * (Ryu-The whole world still includes the Clans though.)

Johnny (human): [sleeps on a hammock, while holding otno Alyssa]

Alyssa: (curled into a ball)

Johnny (human): [sleepily] Alyssa...?

Alyssa: (sleepily) Hmm...?

Johnny (human): [sits up and kisses Alyssa int he cheek (since he's human, he cannot kiss Alyssa (who is a Wolf) on the lips, knowing that it can cause zoophilia)]

Alyssa: (smiles, and kisses Johnny on the cheek)

Johnny (human): [lies down, while holding onto Alyssa like a cute toy doll, goes back to sleep]

(The next day, Johnny is no longer human, but a Mobian Fox!)

Alyssa: (wakes up) Johnny! You're back to normal!

Johnny: YAY!! [kisses Alyssa in the lips]

Alyssa: (kisses back)

Johnny: I love you so much, Alyssa ^_^.

Alyssa: I love you so much, too! ^_^

(But when they look up, they realize that they are not in Chaos City, but Loka Toka Island.)

Johnny: What the heck?! I thought we were in Chaos City...

Alyssa: Me too..

Johnny: [smiles] But at least we're together, right?

Alyssa: (nods) Right!

(Over at Tyker.)

[Freelancers and other air vehicles of the Glacian Nation were flying around for practice.]


 * [SB-Tyker??]


 * (YOU FORGOT ABOUT TYKER ALREADY!!? (Btw I'm not really mad I'm just laughing))
