Zenzeroni rubbed his eyes again after hearing Violet say they had been abducted by aliens and took a look around. Looking around Zenzeroni saw what she meant as, looking from right to left, they were most certainly not on the The Flying Lasagna nor The Spaghetti Monster. They were in a giant warehouse and there were four long rows of the same uniform bed with one person soundly sleeping on every single one of them. Zenzeroni quickly recognized them as the crews of The Spaghetti Monster and The Flying Lasagna. He even recognized some of the members from Carolina Reaper’s ship but noticeably absent were the members of The Cheeseroll, helmed by Chester and Lester, and Blackjack Jerky and his crew.
It was likely Blackjack Jerky and his crew were dead as his ship was last seen getting struck by a lightning bolt but The Cheeseroll was a greater mystery and a greater mystery above those two was where the hell were they?
“Are you the only other person awake?” Zenzeroni asks Violet.
“Yes, it looks like I was the first one to wake up.”
“Did you see the big white flash?”
“Yeah and then I woke up here.”
“We should probably wake up the rest of the crew and find out what is going on.”
“Maybe we should do some exploring on our own. What do you think?” Violet mysteriously asks.
“No! Are you crazy?! We don’t know where we are and going out alone seems like the stupidest thing to do right now!” Zenzeroni whisper yells back.
“Let’s at least open the doors and see what is on the other side!” Violet says gesturing to the large barn-like doors on one side of the warehouse.
“Let’s wake up One Eyed Larry and then do it.”
“I’m going for it,” And with negotiations over, Violet walks between two of the rows straight to the doors leaving Zenzeroni no choice but to chase after her. Reaching the large doors, Violet looks at Zenzeroni excitedly before grabbing the handle and beginning to pull it to the side. What lay in front of Zenzeroni brought him instant goosebumps.
First off, the sky was a gorgeous aray of stars and planets looking more like some kind of moving wallpaper than something that was actually happening in real life. But what drew Zenzeroni’s eyes in more was the architecture of the surrounding buildings. A mix between Wild West and future space clashed beautifully in one of the wildest scenes Zenzeroni had ever seen. It seemed the warehouse was at the very end of the main street as on either side of the street various shops and saloons were hustling and bustling with various people. The people were most definitely not aliens... at least not in the sense of the word Zenzeroni knew. They looked like normal people except with interesting Wild West attire that looked more protective than its counterpart.
At the end of the street, Zenzeroni could see a man walking with a purpose flanked by three people on either side completely ignoring the lure of the buildings on either side of him walking directly at Violet and Zenzeroni. Zenzeroni slammed the door back into place and turned to face the still sleeping crew.
“WHAT WAS THAT?!” Zenzeroni asks Violet in a hushed whisper.
“I don’t know but it looked awesome!”
“Forget that we need to wake up the crew before they get here!” Zenzeroni rushes to the nearest bed and shakes the crew member awake and continues to do this all while Violet watches silently from the door. Zenzeroni is able to wake up most of The Spaghetti Monster crew before reaching One Eyed Larry and waking him up.
“One Eyed Larry you need to wake up! It’s important!”
“What in the sam hell do you w–” One Eyed Larry stops after his eye is able to adjust to the scene around him. One Eyed Larry feels for his pistol but finds the holster empty. “Wake everyone up right fucking now” One Eyed Larry commands practically yelling versus Zenzeroni’s hushed whisper minutes earlier.
The rest of the crew slowly stirs from their slumber as One Eyed Larry meets with some of the more high ranking crew members as he realizes The Cheeseroll crew is missing.
“Where is The Cheeseroll?”
“Unaccounted for sir. We scanned all of the beds and they are nowhere to be found. Same goes for the crew of Blackjack Jerky”. A Flying Lasagna crew member reports.
“Does anyone have any weapons?”
Everyone feels for a sabre or pistol but comes up empty handed “Does anyone know where we are?” Carolina asks.
“I bet you know exactly where we are. You probably led us into this trap in the first place” Rebel spits at her sister.
“I don’t care what happened in the past between you two now is not the time.” One Eyed Larry says only half paying attention to them.
“One Eyed Larry I took a peak outside and it looked like a completely different planet. Violet was saying she thought we were abducted by aliens. Speaking of which where is she?” Zenzeroni says looking around.
As soon as Zenzeroni finishes his sentence the warehouse doors crash open and the silhouette of seven figures emerge seeping in thanks to the moonlight behind them. The frontman takes a step forward and his appearance becomes more clear. Dressed much like Rebel and Carolina but in a much more futuristic way is a tall man with stubble for a beard and mustache but with thick defined muttonchops. Most important of all are his gloves which appear to be glowing and a holographic lens over one eye.
“Welcome aboard The Bermuda Triangle it’s an honor to have you all aboard. One Eyed Larry, I’ve heard so many stories of your adventures in New Zealand, Rebel, an honorable first mate it’s such a shame you don’t get along with your sister Carolina but not everyone can have such a good relationship between family members. Zenzeroni you would know that all too well wouldn’t you?" The man says turning his attention to Zenzeroni. “But alas I am lucky in that I don’t have to worry about that because I get all the information I could ever ask for from my wonderful daughter Violet.” Violet steps out from the shadow of the door and jumps up to give her father a hug before brushing herself off and facing the fleet of The Flying Lasagna.
