Chapter Thirty-Eight
Children of the c0rn

Evil Children: LOL WE JUST PWNED UR ASS.

Jonathan: Bah, that thing doesn't even really look like him. But wait, how do you even know who Rivers is, let alone about my association with him?


Evil Children:  l0l w3 g0tz d4 m4j1k m1r0r! 

Jonathan:  What? 

Evil Children:  w3 s33 j00r tru f0rm, b17ch! 

Jonathan:  Uh...heh…what? 

Evil Children:  j00r r1v3rz!! 

Narrator Two:  No way!  Jonathan can’t be Rivers!  This is unbelievable! 

Observer:  You’re a bad actor, Narrator Two.  Or should I say…RIVERS! 

Narrator Two (?):  What?  Don’t be insane!  Jonathan is secretly disguised as Rivers, not me! 

Jonathan (?):  No!  It’s him, he’s Rivers! 

Evil Children:  j00r b07h R1V3Rz!!! 

Narrator Two (?):  Shut up you damn kids!  This doesn’t make any sense!  We can’t both be Rivers!  Where the hell did you come from, anyway, Observer?  I thought I got rid of you. 

President of the Council of Narrators (PoCoN):  I brought him back.  And, as of now, I am reinstating his powers as a narrator. 

Narrator:  YES!  Ha!  You monkeyassed son of a bitch, I am back

Narrator Two (?):  What?!  The president??!? 

PoCoN:  That’s the last time you make a statement using my son’s name. 

Rivers the Fake Narrator:  Your son? 

Narrator:  That’s right, fool!  Narrator Two is the president’s son!  You picked the wrong guy to impersonate! 

Rivers the Fake Narrator:  Dammit. 

Evil Children:  pwned!! 

Rivers the Fake Jonathan:  This doesn’t look good! 

PoCoN:  Your disguises are worthless now.  Show your true forms! 

Rivers the Imposter Duo:  NoooOOooOOoOoooOoO! 

Narrator:  Wow!  The true form of the two fake Rivers looks a lot like just one Rivers! 

Evil Children:  wtf l4m3. 

Rivers Duo:  This was my greatest plan ever.  Why did you freaks have to ruin it?! 

PoCoN:  I’d watch my mouth if I were you, Duo.  Narrator, I trust you can take care of things from here. 

Narrator:  You bet your ass I can.  And so, PoCoN returns to the Immortal Land of Narration, leaving me once again in charge of the story!  Muahahahahahahahaha!! 

Rivers Duo:  This is not fair at all.  This was my greatest plan ever, and you freaks had to ruin it! 

Evil Children:  wu7 pl4n, d00d?  j00 suk. 

Rivers Duo:  Shut up, children!  The plan was amazing!  I was going to become the main character of the story, finally! 

???:  You really think you can take my place, old friend? 

Rivers Duo:  No way, it can’t be…. 

???:  That’s right, it’s me. 

Rivers Duo:  Captain Thomas “7-Eye” Render VI of Trelenodora?! 

???:  …no. 

Evil Children:  QM grrrl!! 

???:  No, dammit! 

Narrator:  Oooh, I totally know this!  It’s STRANGE CREATURE!! 

???:  I hate you people so much I think it’s beginning to cause me serious health problems. 

Narrator:  I remember that whining! 

Rivers Duo:  It’s you

???:  That’s right, it’s me. 

Evil Children:  QM Grrrrrl!!!!!1!111!

???:  BARIN, THE EVERLIVING!! 

Narrator:  And so it is.  Standing before us is none other than Barin, the original main character of this story.  How did he get back?  I have no idea.  I’m not sure I care, either. 

Barin:  I’ll tell you how I got back!  It was a dark and stormy night, and my tiny ship was tossed. 

Evil Children:  l1k3 ur m0mz s4l4d lolol. 

Rivers Duo:  No, I’m not letting this bullshit happen again.  This happens every time someone tries to engineer a master plan.  Goofbags just start making jokes and don’t listen and it never ends up happening.  I am the new main character of the story, and there is not a damn thing any of you can do about it. 

Narrator:  Not a damn thing anyone can do, eh?  That’s the wrong thing to say to a narrator who just recently got back his powers. 

Evil Children:  0h n03z!!


Which Gate Do You Choose?

RIVERBUTION

Rivers Duo:  I don’t care if you are the narrator, I make the rules now. 

Narrator:  Rivers turned into a medium-sized toothless lizard wolverine with no claws and a pink tail. 

Reruns

Narrator:  I think it’s time to add a little fuel to this fire.  Captain Thomas “7-Eye” Render VI of Trelenodora and Enrique, come on back and fight for the title. 

Render:  Sure thing. 

Enrique:  Moo. 

teh l337

Evil Children:  QM grrrrrrl!  7074lli t3h 0nli g00d ch4r!  s3kzi b17ch!!!111! 

Narrator:  Uh, yes.  QM Girl can come back, you sad, demented, nonsense-spewing pack of wild children.  But that really doesn’t solve the problem.
