Chapter 2: The Search For The One Known As 'Prophet'
By Demon Mind

After the meeting, UncleVom informed everyone to lay low for the night, and meet again in the Main Computer Room the next morning....

"So, how are we going to reach Prophet?" GreyBrain asked the next morning, stretching, "I've heard he can be a hard man to find."

"Yes, indeed." UncleVom said, sipping on a caffinated beverage, "Which is why I stayed up last night, preparing a course of action. Even though I am loathe to use it..." He sighed, and went on, "But I believe it's the only way to attract the Prophet." After a moment, he went behind the terminal he was in front of, and bent down. A few seconds later, there was a click, and a whirring sound, before the LameBot stood up!

The Emu Force immediatly sprang into action, drawing all their weapons on the thing.

"Ahh!" KiLLerCloWN cried, "I thought I killed that thing last night!"

UncleVom stood back up besides the Mechanical Lamer. "Wait, friends," he said calmly, "Hold your fire, hold your fire. This LameBot is the key to reaching Prophet! I spent last night repairing it's damaged circuits, adding a slightly improved artificial intellegence, and a few new sub-routines. Observe... LameBot, can you understand me?"

The LameBot's eyes opened, and his head turned towards UncleVom. "Yes. I understand."

"Amazing," Crap Man said, "It understood you and you didn't have to shout, OR talk stupid!"

"Yes. I incoded normal speech pattern recognition into it's secondary processor memory unit. The main one was just a mess with all those 'l33t' speech patterns... I couldn't do anything with it. But it still serves a purpose... LameBot, what is your primary function?"

"To assist in the drawing out of Prophet by utilizing my primary functionality in a public place."

Demon Mind scratched his head, "I thought you said you taught it to speak NORMALLY. What the hell did it just say?"

"It said it's going to be lame in a public place."

"WHAT?" Demon Mind said, shocked, "Why would we want it to be lame in a public place? Those are the people we're trying to defend out there!"

"It's the only way we can draw out Prophet. He appears when a lamer goes public to ban them from exsistance. It's the only way."

"We'll just have to catch him before he leaves again." Assyrix added, "Makes sense."

"Well" Crap Man said, turning to leave, "Let's get this show on the road then, ladies! Every second we spend here flappin' our gums is another second Arthur Night Wolf has to barrage us with lameness!"

As they all packed into the EmuMobile, grumblings of "Don't call me a lady..." could be heard. They headed to Central Square, with the LameBot tied to the roof of the car, lest something go wrong with it. The ride was silent, each man contemplating what they were about to unleash on an unsuspecting populace.

When they finally arrived a few ours later, the square was packed with people spending their lunch breaks getting some fresh air. As the airbrakes of the EmuMobile squeeled and the car stopped, people started gathering around it in a loose circle, wondering why there was a man tied to it's roof.

"Stand back, people." UncleVom pronounced as they all got out of the car, and he started to unstrap the LameBot, "You don't wanna be around when this thing gets loose."

They all backed up a little, and then a little more as Demon Mind got out of the EmuMobile and stretched his massive wings.

"Hey!" An anonymous man from the crowd yelled, "These guys are Emu Force!"

"Man, is our credibility is really going to fall after this stunt," GreyBrain murmered to himself has he helped UncleVom take down the LameBot and set it on it's feet.

"LameBot?" UncleVom asked. The LameBot activated and looked over at him. "LAME!" he shouted at the thing.

It remained motionless for a moment, processing the command, then raised it's arms in the air and started running at people yelling "I AM L33T! I NEEEEED DREAMCAST ROMZ!"

The people screamed and ran away as fast as they could, while the Emu Force stayed around their care, rubbing their hands across their faces, wishing they could do something.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and rumbled, as a man dressed in robes appeard in the air, and opened his hand. An arc of neon purple lightning flew out of it, and through the skull of the LameBot. It spun for a few seconds, then landed dead on the grass, twitching.

"PROPHET!" All of Emu Force called after him in unison.

Prophet looked down from the sky, and spoke. "I know why you have summoned me. You wish to know the location of Arch Lamer Arthur Night Wolf. He is located in a mansion to the north of this location. Go straight, and you shall not miss it. But be warned, Arthur Night Wolf is only a minion of an even larger evil."

"What larger evil?" KiLLerCloWn called. But it was too late. Prophet had vanished.

"Well, it looks like we go north." UncleVom stated, as they all got back into the car.
