And it begins.......

We start not on the first day of Zion's existance, but just on some random, ordinary day - just as any inhabitant of Zion would.

Here we go!!

"Quack."

"Quack what?"

On a clear, sunny day in Zion, Special Ed (Sara Newton), Elizabeth Peppers, Stellie Bella, and Rose of Littleroot (Abigail S.) were congregated in front of Zion's welcome sign. No one seemed to know why they'd choose there of all places to gather, not even the congregators themselves. It was just a habit. (Anyway, Sara Newton's personality shifted to one that liked ducks. Abi changed her name to Rose.)

"That's awesome, dude." Ed continued.

"What's awesome? What? What? What? I wanna see!" Rose hopped up and down.

"That, dude."

"Oh........ wow......" Elizabeth noticed the sign: Welcome to NOIZ, "The Neverending Story" .....

"Zion make some noiZ!!!!!" Rose bounced even more. Stellie opened her mouth to speak, and Ed and Elizabeth smiled with looks of "say it!" on their faces. But Stellie remained silent and closed her mouth. Ed and Elizabeth's faces drooped back to normal.

"Hey, something's wrong." Rose concluded after minutes of thinking.

A few feet from the sign, there was Charles Blendin. The others didn't seem to know that he was there. He, in his chameleonish ways, made a run for it.

"Aaaah! I must tell the king! I must tell the king!"

King Jason I. Cool sat in his castle in front of the large television, as always, playing his X-Box.

In came Charles Blendin: "Something's wrong."

"Playing... X-Box... too... cool..." Jason blurted as he swayed left and right. Throwing the controller down in defeat, he looked up at Charles. "What?"

"I don't know, but it said NOIZ on the sign."

Jason picked up the phone and started dialing the number of none other than... Dudeman! Jason was one of the few who knew who Dudeman really was. Anyway, Charles left the room as Jason waved his hand to leave.

"Hey... Ivan?"
"Yeah?"
"Something's wrong."
"Oh. Okay."
"Bye."

Ivan went from Ivan to Dudeman and went on his way to the castle.

"Dude. Like, seriously. There's a... blob in the sky."

"Where?"

"Over there. Look at it." The other three followed Ed's finger as it pointed up at the sky.

"It looks like a blob of mashed potatoes." Rose said thoughtfully.

"Thanks, Rose." Elizabeth muttered.

"Hey!" Rose interjected. "What?!"

"No, she has a point...." Ed nodded. "POTATOES ARE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"

"What?"

"Nobody understands. Right, Ed?" Rose bobbed her head up and down. Ed bobbed back. "ATTACK OF THE KILLER POTATOES!"

That spawned another idea for Stellie. French fry. That was it! Stellie pointed at the blob and then ran off.

"That's awesome, dude." Ed was alluding to the blob.

"What do we do? It's a blob. Of all places, it's in the sky. We can't do anything about it..." Elizabeth started.

"... I'M HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! TO THE CASTLE! AAAAH! DUDEMAN! ..." The remaining three heard as Dudeman sped past them.

"I think we should follow him... to the populated area of Zion and out of this weird.... empty boulevard. Wanna come with?" Rose motioned for them to follow.

"Any day now," King Jason whined impatiently, tapping his foot to the carpet. "Dudeman!"

"What's wrong? Huh? Huh? Huh? What?" Dudeman arrived. He started looking around.

"Uh.... well...."

Ed, Elizabeth, and Rose barged in. "There's a blob in the sky, dude!"

"I'm Dudeman, yes. That's me."

"There's a blob in the sky? Yeah, right." Jason scoffed. "This is a set-up, isn't it?"

In the safety and privacy of Rose of Littleroot's home, Spiral and Stormy, two hermit crabs, aided the... whatever.

Spiral is much more than a land hermit crab in a ivory-colored shell. She's the one behind the plastic tree that does it all - if not trying to take over the world, then simply amazing you with her antics.

Stormy, who is slightly smaller, is the one who's in front of the plastic tree trying to prevent world domination. He's kind of like the sidekick.

Hiding in the closet behind a box, the two crabs were sitting behind a control panel and other hi-tech stuff. They watched everything from three monitors.

"What are you DOING, Stormy?"

"Nothing, Spiral! Err.... hermit crabs to potatoes... hermit crabs to potatoes... do you read me?"

"You're supposed to say over, over." Spiral corrected the crab.

"Whatever." Stormy added, "Over."

"Land in the weird, empty boulevard not very far away from the welcome sign. You will soon see civilization, and you will INVADE!!" Spiral then let go of the other crab and finished, "...over."

The five stood outside of the castle, scanning the sky for the blob.

"Where's the blob you're telling me about? I can use this time to do more important things, you know." King Jason whined again.

"Yeah, like turning into a couch potato, dude. Like I'd like to spend all my time eating and playing video games. Dude." Ed rolled her eyes.

"The blob's over there. See?" Elizabeth pointed at the blob.

"Dudeman, you know what to do." Jason nodded.

"What are you talking about? I don't know what to do."

"It's a blob, for crying out loud. It's up there." Rose sighed. "I don't see how he can do anything about it."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAH!" screamed a random person on the street while running in circles.

"What's wrong?!" Rose called.

"Nothing. It's fun."

The five scoffed.

"Okay. We're here. What do we do, Spiral hermit crab?" A potato asked through the screen.

"Oooooooooh, what does this button do?"

"Stor-my!" Spiral knocked Stormy away from a questionable-looking button. "I told you already."

"You told us what?"

"Leave the ship, find civilization. But whatever you do, don't-"

The potatoes started out the door.

"Is it me or is that a large potato?" asked Jolly Old Elf, raising a brow.

Not very far from the edges of civilization, Jolly Old Elf and David overlooked the empty areas. Near the welcome sign they saw - was it really? - a large potato.

"I don't know."

"Should we tell Jason?"

"Yeah."

The two ran off.

"One... Two... Three..." Rose counted as she saw J.O.E. and David run...

"There's a giant potato over there!!" J.O.E. cried.

"Over where?" Dudeman cupped his hand to his ear.

"It's just over there," said David.

"He's not gonna save the day if you don't tell where," Rose sighed.

"Duuuuude." Ed agreed.

"To the potato!!!!!!!!!!" Dudeman cried, holding the O until he was out of breath. "To the potato-o."

"Hey! Where are you going? Potato what?" Ace of Spades inquired, joining the group.

"There's a giant potato over where." Rose pointed in the direction the potato was in. "Over where, over there, same difference."

"Cool. Can I come?"

"Sure!"

Little by little, the group picked up more people. Stellie Bella and Charles Blendin rejoined.

"Where are we going again?" Charles asked.

"To the potato-o-o-o." Dudeman responded.

"Are we there yet?"

"Almost, Charles." Rose answered.

"Here we are." Rose sighed, wiping sweat off of her forehead.

There it was, the giant potato. The giant vegetable ship was so big it was as if the people were getting smushed. The potatoes, being not very smart, left the door open.

"We're going in..." Dudeman declared.

One by one, starting with Dudeman, they entered the ship.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?" J.O.E. eyed a large red button.

"That's a no-no," Rose slapped J.O.E.'s hand away from the button. J.O.E. stuck his tongue out at her.

"Stop that, people. Dude. I don't know what that is, you know, why this big potato came out of nowhere and..." Ed rolled her eyes and...

Rose gasped. "Spiral!" She had seen the crab on the screen.

"Spiral?" Everyone else widened their eyes.

"You can talk?!" Instead of waiting for an answer from Spiral, or falling over in disbelief, she said "Spiral! What are you doing? What are you doing here? Tell us! Tell us or else!"

"Well... I CAN TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING! Spiral's guiding these killer potatoes so they can invade Zion and... and... TAKE O-mmf!" Spiral knocked Stormy out of the way once again.

"Is this true? Spiral... Tell the truth or else..." Rose turned back, smiled a sneaky smile and then said something that seemed audible to the crabs only. Stormy gasped. Spiral's expression changed as she surrendered.

"Tell us everything." Dudeman pointed.

"Dude!" Ed looked out the open door. Citizens of Zion started to run out the city. The potatoes ran after them.

"What weakens the potatoes?" Elizabeth asked.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dudeman saw a single potato running to the ship. The potato, in its clumsiness, fell.

"Now's my chance!" Dudeman jumped out of the ship, yelling as he went. He took his mustard bottle and let the yellow condiment splatter all over the vegetable.

It didn't work. The vegetable was now just an appetizer smothered in mustard!

"It didn't work!" Stellie reported.

"Their weakness..... is soda." Spiral finished.

Dudeman had himself a "bright idea."

"What are you doing?!" Ace demanded.

"It's my light bulb!" Dudeman shooed everyone else off the ship.

"Get out! Get out! King Jason I. Cool said so! Yeah, that's me!" The king waved his fork-scepter at them.

"Turn everything off." Dudeman commanded. Rose set everything to the "off" position. "Okay! One... Two... Three!"

And with his super-duper-solar-powered-firework-maker, Dudeman exploded the ship into pieces. Shards of potato covered the boulevard.

"Why did you do that, Dudeman?" A random person shouted.

"It was the right thing to do," Dudeman replied in pride.

"Yeah. Riiiiiight. Smart one, Dudeman." Ed shook her head.

"I have a plan."

"What's your plan, Rose? Huh? Huh? WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?!" Dudeman grabbed Rose by the shoulders and shook her.

"Well.... what goes on potatoes?"
"Gravy."
"Right! I'm going to drain Ace's swimming pool and fill it with with gravy..."

"Uh huh..."

"We're gonna lure the potatoes to the gravy pool..."

"And?"

"We're gonna keep the potatoes trapped in there..."
"Yeah?"
"And we're gonna replace the gravy with soda!"
"Eww....."

"If that's what we have to do, then let's do it. There are no other alternatives to consider." Elizabeth agreed.

Dudeman stood on Ace's rooftop. Holding his binoculars, he looked down on the pool area. It looked much smaller. He grunted. Rotating the binoculars 180 degrees, he saw a clear image.

"Okay!!!! Gravy?"

"CHECK!"
"Net trap thingamajigger?"

"CHECK!"

"Soda?"

"CHECK!"

"We're good to go!"

King Jason held in his hand a potato whistle. When a potato whistle is blown, it makes a low-pitched squeak only potatoes can hear.

He blew the whistle.

"I hear... A STAMPEDE!" J.O.E. pointed in the direction of the potatoes.

"Duck and cover!" Dudeman yelled.

The potatoes dove into their gravy bath.

"Now!" Five people swung the net over the shallow pool. Ed ran to the controls and started draining the pool.

"Hose 'em!" Three people took hoses filled with soda and started spraying the potatoes with them.

"Stop, J.O.E.! More hosing, less drinking!"

The potatoes started to rot. Shriveling up and turning nasty shades of brown, they left a disgusting odor.

"We have one..... dude down!" Ed looked down, pinching her nose. Someone collapsed from the terrible smell.

"This is worse than soybean paste!" Stellie yelled.

"It's not worse than dookie, that's for sure." Dudeman nodded.

Two days later, after the rotten potatoes, gravy/soda residue, and nasty stench were gone, and everything was normal, Zion was restored to being the way it was.

... And that was how Dudeman and the people of Zion defeated the killer potatoes.
