CHAPTER 7

Lupa was sleeping her bed, when suddenly, a ninja appeared in her room!

Why do ninjas attack Lupa at all times of the day? Why not? Lupa's an overpowered Mary Sue, so someone probably wants her dead. Either that, or they want to kill her and take her power somehow.

"Hi, I'm a ninja." the ninja said.

"Yawn." Lupa said. She got up and kicked the ninja in the achilles tendon, making him explode.

It was just another day for Lupa. These ninjas showed up almost like clockwork. Another ninja showed up while Lupa was in the shower, and she fought him off in a titillating scene that we unfortunately can't show here. Then a ninja jumped out of her cereal box. She chopped him up with a butcher knife and threw the parts into Checkers and Ash's food dishes. She hadn't had to buy cat food in years.

My third favorite line in the fic (behind Dying For Your Sins and Suddenly Sponby) is "Another ninja showed up while Lupa was in the shower, and she fought him off in a titillating scene that we unfortunately can't show here." That's pretty much the only reason I had her attacked by ninjas in the first place.

"Life is hard for an internet reviewer slash Olympic medalist slash saviour of the universe." Lupa complained. "Why can't I just be normal like everyone else?"

There's another slight homage to My Immortal here when Lupa says "Why can't I be normal like everyone else?", paraphrased from Enoby's far more "angsty" line about being so beautiful it's a curse. Of course, then Lupa snaps out of it and realizes how awesome it is to be her, and uses an outdated unfunny meme to kill the random stranger. But as we've already established, I'm not funny in the slightest, so I don't feel bad about using tired old memes.

"So, you wanna be normal?" A man showed up in her kitchen. Two more ninjas also showed up, but Lupa kicked them and they exploded.

I don't know about anyone else, but incompetent ninjas are always funny, no matter the situation.

"No, I don't want to be normal." Lupa said. "I'm awesome! Why would I want to give up my awesomeness?"

"But how about for just one day? One day to be perfectly normal, then you can return to your awesome life."

"Screw you. ZA WARUDO!" Lupa stopped time and stabbed the man a hundred times, and when time resumed, the man ran away. Also, a particularly inept ninja cut himself on a poisoned spoon, dying instantly.

"Stupid ninjas." Lupa laughed. But her cereal was full of blood and bits of cartilage. Breakfast was ruined!

"Breakfast was ruined!" is paraphrased from The Irate Gamer, or more specifically, the people who use this line to mock said angry nerd. (c wut i did thar?) I don't have anything against the Irate Gamer, but again, because Phelous has mocked him a few times before, this is included in as an homage to him mocking IG. Plus it counts as an arson murder jaywalking gag: Ninjas attacked me! Some guy showed up in my house! My cereal was ruined!

"Okay, that's it. Those ninjas are going to die!" Lupa said. She stormed out of her house.

"Hey, Pierre Kirby!" Lupa said to Pierre Kirby.

"Sup Lupa? We are totally in the same movie!" Pierre Kirby said in the jungle.

"We sure are!" Lupa said in her town. She walked away. A brightly-colored ninja appeared in her place, and Pierre Kirby fought him off in an exciting scene where both of them got all hot and sweaty.

"Sweet Christmas!" the ninja said as he was bisected by a huge boomerang. Pierre Kirby dusted his hands off and ran into the jungle.

"You're dead, Pierre Kirby!" two ninjas said as they jumped out of the jungle.

"Oh noes, not two ninjas! I'll need some help from my friends!" Pierre Kirby said. "Lupa, you there?"

"Sure are!" Lupa said. "I can hear you all the way over here! And I've brought some friends of my own!"

"WAAAAaaaaaAAAAaaaaAAAH!" Reb Brown screamed.

"I am Saruman the White!" Christopher Lee said.

"I'm gonna kick your ass!" Cynthia Rothrock said.

Pierre Kirby, Reb Brown and Cynthia Rothrock are sort of the "signature actors" of the Snob, Spoony and Lupa respectively. Christopher Lee is just cool, and I needed one more person to round out the five-man band. Plus, Pierre Kirby kinda gives a justification for all the ninjas... but not really.

"Awesome! We're a five-man band now!" Pierre Kirby said. "You know what that means!"

"Yep!" Lupa said. "Go Go Power Rangers!"

Allison Pregler - Red Ranger (The Hero!)
Pierre Kirby - Orange Ranger (The Foil!)
Reb Brown - Brown Ranger (The Bruiser!)
Christopher Lee - White Ranger (The Genius!)
Cynthia Rothrock - Pink Ranger (The Girl!)

And they turn into power rangers for no reason. Despite how often Power Rangers-related stuff shows up in my fics (hell, I'm even writing a fic where TGWTG producers become Power Rangers), I'm really not a big fan of PR or Super Sentai. My only real exposure to the series comes from Linkara's History of Power Rangers and the bit of research I did on my own, but I only watched the first season of MMPR way back when.

The Lupa Rangers made quick work of the ninjas, even after reinforcements showed up. But then the ninjas had an idea: they could mimic MegaNanoPhelous and create a Mega Ninja!

And the ability of seemingly-ordinary people to link up into a Mega version of themselves seems to be another theme of my fics for some reason.

"BASTARDS!" Reb Brown screamed.

"Come on, let's summon the King GetterGarZinger Kaiser Lagann WX Zord!" Pierre Kirby said.

"Let's do it!" Lupa said. They summoned their giant robot, which used its finishing move which I can't be bothered to type out again on the Mega Ninja, which foiled it again.

"That was a good day." Lupa said. She went back home, breaking the neck of a ninja that was hiding under her doormat. Checkers and Ash were going to eat well tonight.

CHAPTER 8:

This one's another favorite of mine. It's sort of a step back to the style parodies of the first few Olympics chapters: in particular, this one is a parody of the whole self-insert romance type of fic, where a thinly-veiled author avatar woos and generally has nasty sex with their fictional character of choice. There's more of those out there than I can count, so there's no particular fic it's parodying.

Due to being so successful, Lupa had a lot of suitors. Pretty much all of her co-workers had the hots for her, but she could care less.

Another running gag on TGWTG is that everyone has the hots for Lupa. Of course, I had to include this. Phelous and Lupa are dating in real life (for those who didn't get the memo), hence why he breaks up with her later to introduce her perfect soulmate GigaBob I mean Robert.

"LUPA!" Todd banged on her window. A ninja dropped down on him, but he dragged the ninja into the shadows. When he reappeared, the ninjas was nowhere to be seen.

Todd pining for Lupa is of course a running gag in both of their reviews. Him dragging a ninja into the shadows is a very obscure reference to a crossover he did with Film Brain where he says he moves in the space between spaces; that's where that poor ninja ended up.

"Go away, Todd." Lupa said.

"But I have a ring! I stole it off some dead guy!" Todd held up a ring. "Come on, you gotta marry me now!"

"I thought you were dating the Nostalgia Chick?" Lupa asked.

"There's room for two women in my bedroom- life!"

"Go away, Todd."

"But-" Todd was knocked out by a two-by-four, wielded by none other than 90s Kid.

"DUUUUUUUUUUDETTE!" 90s Kid said. "You're the most rockin' girl in the world! You're like Britney Spears crossed with the Spice Girls!"

"That sounds extremely unappealing."

"But I'm a perfect boyfriend! I've got the complete works of Nirvana in my car!"

Lupa threw a ninja corpse at 90s Kid. He walked away, dejected.

Out of an entire world of men, the people interested in her were either internet nerds or personifications of decades. That one night with 80s Dan was an experience she didn't want to repeat anytime soon.

She needed some groceries. She drove to the store, where Phelous was waiting.

"I'm breaking up with you, Lupa." Phelous said.

"But why?" Lupa asked.

"Because I'm dead." Phelous said. And he died.

"Noooooooooo!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky.

"Also you're ugly." Phelous' corpse said.

"You suck, Phelous." She kicked his corpse a few times.

She shopped for groceries. Down one of the aisles, she saw a handsome man wearing only a tight pair of jeans. He was thin but had well-defined muscles, and his long auburn hair was tied back.

"Hello~" the man said.

"Hi, I'm Lupa."

"I'm Robert." the man said. "Hey, listen, do you wanna go to dinner?"

"Robert" is a generic parody of the self-insert romance character who has a perfect body and a great personality - and just like all other Mary Sues, every character is inexplicably attracted to him. The concept of "Sue-ness" and in particular, their inexplicable charisma, is a concept that comes from Action Sue (another one of my original works, which predates Olympics in concept), but I repurposed it for Olympics since I'm lazy. In particular, we're in theory seeing this from an outsider's perspective; Lupa's the main character here, so it changes the implications a bit.

"Sure!" Lupa said. She dropped her groceries, and they went for dinner at the most expensive place in town.

"I like bad movies, red hair and especially you." Robert said. "And I'm totally not a self-insert character."

And of course, since he's a parody, Robert is extremely blatant, because that's funny! Right? Right?

"Yes you are, but I don't care." Lupa said dreamily. "You're the only person I want in my life."

"You're a total downer, man." 70s Dude said.

"Go away, 70s Dude. You're not even a real person." Lupa said.

70's Dude does not exist to my knowledge, though I'm sure he's popped up in other fics, since it's really a no-brainer. I really want to do more with him, but besides a mention in Eternity, he hasn't really popped up anywhere else. Later, perhaps.

"I'll take care of this guy." Robert said. He picked up 70s Dude by the neck and consumed his soul. He dropped 70s Dude's lifeless corpse to the ground.

"Wow, that's really awesome and not horrifying at all." Lupa said. "I could have kicked his ass, but I have a big strong man to do everything for me now."

The part where Robert consumes 70's Dude's soul is again another example of a Mary Sue act from an outsider's perspective. A lot of self-insert fics have the arguable heroes of the story do terrible things to everyone around them, but since they're "perfect", everyone usually loves them for it; but again, since it's from Lupa's perspective and not Robert's, it comes off as horrifying. I mean, it comes off as horrifying to the readers (usually), but this is an in-universe example.

Lupa's extremely rapid progression into a shallow love interest is again a parody of this style of fic, where an interesting character is reduced to nothing more than a shallow love interest with little to no hints of their canon selves. But since this is Olympics, Lupa makes fun of it every step of the way.

"That's right, Lupa. Now you're going to have sex with me."

"Take me right here!" Lupa moaned.

"OBJECTION!" A knife flew into Robert's chest, killing him instantly. The door of the restaurant opened, and standing inside it was ... ... ... ... Phelous!

"Phelous! You're alive!" Lupa cheered.

"That's right! I harnessed the bruits waves coming off of the full moon to revive myself!" Phelous said.

"Bruits waves" are an actual thing from Dragon Ball Z. It's what lets the Saiyans transform into their great ape forms, according to canon. Yeah, I'm a nerd. That's why I write crappy fanfics about ostensibly real people doing crazy things.

"But I thought there wouldn't be another full moon for months?"

"...Wow, that was a really badly shoehorned-in reference, even for this fic." Phelous said.

"Yeah, I know. Anyways, enough of this character-derailing self-insert shipping! Back to kicking ass!" Lupa said. She grabbed Robert's corpse and posed it hilariously over 70s Dude. Then she threw a ninja over a railing into a black hole.

"Cool." Phelous said. He cloned himself a bunch of times and zerg rushed an elite ninja. He knew it was an elite ninja because he was wearing gold.

"As a matter of fact, it isn't!" Tien said. They all laughed.

And "As a matter of fact, it isn't!" from Tien (also a character from DBZ) is a line that Phelous has used a couple of times, most notably in a flash parody he did a while back. That's pretty much why I included the Bruits waves reference in.

CHAPTER 9:

And we go right back into nonsense and crazy. Chapter 9 is me at my least restrained; I literally had no idea what I was going to write when I started it, but damn if I wasn't going to make it epic. In most of the chapters of my fics, I at least have an idea of where to end it. Not here. This was also meant to be the "real" finale of Olympics, though obviously that didn't happen.

So it starts with "Suddenly, continuity!" because I wanted The Master to come back. And again, it turns out that he was behind the ninja attacks and Lupa getting a TARDIS to parody terrible plot twists where one villain is behind literally everything.

Suddenly, continuity!

"I got a note in the mail!" Lupa announced to no-one in particular. She read the note, which said:

'Obscurus Lupa! I am the man from the store that wasn't there yesterday, but unbeknownst to you, I am also the head of the Ninjas! And I'm also The Master too!' the note said. It then exploded in her face, but Lupa dodged.

"Oh no!" Lupa said. "The Master must have given me the TARDIS as one aspect of a ridiculously convoluted plan to take over the universe!"

"Correct!" Christopher Lee said. "He plans to use the Herpaderp virus to depopulate the entire universe. He'll ride it out in his multiversal fortress while everything, everywhere, dies."

Christopher Lee reappears because he's awesome. He also reappears in Sagacious because he's awesome. Not to say the other three actors from Chapter 7 aren't awesome, but they're not quite as awesome as Christopher Lee.

"But how do we stop it, Christopher Lee?" Lupa asked.

"There's only one way." Christopher Lee handed Lupa a guitar. "Lupa, you must rock the fuck out."

Lupa called upon her personal reserve of holy fuckfire (she stole it from some British kid) and used it to summon the patron deity of fanfiction - the God Mode Sue.

"God mode sue" is a term for a Mary Sue who's so ludicrously overpowered that nothing could realistically pose a challenge to them. The God Mode Sue as a literal character, though, is again an idea that comes from the original concept for Action Sue, though the current version has the God Mode Sue character in a slightly different role. In Olympics, Lupa does pretty much what Luk would have done near the end.

"God Mode Sue, I need more power!" Lupa said.

"YOU WILL HAVE IT." the God Mode Sue said. It gave Lupa all the energy in the universe.

"It won't be enough." Christopher Lee said. "The true form of The Master is extremely powerful."

"Don't worry, I've got an idea." Lupa used her power to travel to the beginning of fanfiction.

"I've got a great idea!" Gilgamesh said. "I'll write a story about myself being a super-cool awesome god-king, and I'll make all the gods like me, except for that bitch Ishtar!"

I don't know why I made the Epic of Gilgamesh the first fanfic in the Olympics continuity. I'm pretty sure that Gilgamesh as an historical figure didn't actually exist. I think I originally made it that way for the "hilarious" image of Lupa chiseling fanfiction into a tablet.

"That's not how it worked!" Lupa protested.

"On the contrary! I wrote the original version of The Epic of Gilgamesh, but those bastard priests corrupted it into a morality play!"

"Well, whatever. I'm here to change history and become the first fanfiction writer. Step aside." Lupa conjured a giant magical storm with lightning and fire and shit.

"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Gilgamesh said. He shat himself and died.

"Cool. Now, to chisel out Gilgamesh's name and replace it with my own..." Lupa changed the story, resulting in it becoming The Epic of Lupa. By doing so, she became the God Mode Sue. Then, in 5000 years, she would ask herself for more power, and then she would travel back in time to become the God Mode Sue, and so on and so on until she had infinite power.

"It's like a bad M:tG combo!" Phelous said.

"Or a really good one!" Ralph said.

"Ralph Oancitizen, why are you here?" Lupa asked.

"Ralph" is of course Kyle Kallgren, aka Oancitizen of TGWTG. For a while, his IMDb page listed him as "Ralph Oancitizen" for some inexplicable reason, which was picked up by Phelous in one of his reviews and subsequently used by me in a crappy fanfic. And really, "Ralph Oancitizen" is just one of those names that's inherently funny even without prior knowledge of the joke, at least in my opinion.

"Because I wanted a cameo, damnit. And for the last time, my name isn't Ralph!" Ralph raeged.

"Whatever, you're my new familiar." Lupa empowered Ralph, making him into an aspect of herself. She had done the same with Phelous previously. But due to the reality-shattering nature of her new powers, it happened retroactively, making Phelous able to clone himself and come back from death.

As I'm reading through this again, I realized something. I just mentioned how Mary Sues can do terrible acts yet suffer no retribution for it... but that's pretty much exactly what Lupa does here in making Ralph and Phelous her familiars. They pretty much lose all of their free will, and their entire existence is tied to the infinitely-powerful goddess that Lupa becomes. That never even occurred to me when I was writing the story originally. It's all about perspective, I guess.

"What a lame-ass way to explain simple editing tricks!" Phelous said.

"I know!" Lupa said. "Now stop breaking the fourth wall before I break YOU."

Lupa used her new powers to stop the Herpaderp virus instantly. Then she made world peace and infinite food for everyone in the universe. Everyone was happy. But The Master was still around, and no one would be truly happy with him still in the picture.

Lupa traveled to The Master's multidimensional fortress, the entrance of which was inside a proton. It was locked with an almost indestructible lock, but there's not a whole lot of things in the universe that can withstand an infinite-strength nuke to the face.

"So, you have come!" The Master said. He was the real Doctor Who Master, but he was still wearing the strange hand-patterned robe from Manos.

"I'm here to stop you, The Master!" Lupa announced.

"Just try and stop me! For I too have the favor of the God Mode Sue!" The Master shifted into an amalgamation of every final boss ever.

"Weak." Lupa grew to the size of the universe and crushed The Master in her hand.

"Ah ha!" The Master ate twenty quasars to restore his energy, and then spat them out as a huge energy beam at Lupa. Lupa shielded herself with a barrier made entirely of MegaNanoPhelouses, just for the hell of it.

"God damnit that burns!" MegaNanoPhelous complained.

"Stop whining!" Lupa retaliated by creating a Big Bang within The Master's body, ripping him apart at the subatomic level. But for The Master, that's just a flesh wound. He reappeared soon after, none the worse for wear.

"You can't kill me, Lupa. The entire universe knows that." The Master boasted.

"Sure I can!" Lupa accelerated every electron in the universe at The Master, completely destroying the universe and only mildly inconveniencing him. She recreated the universe without much effort.

"You think you're so tough? Well, let's see how you fare against... ULTIMATE HAM MODE!" The Master transformed into a giant pork roast. "I AM THE GREATEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

As soon as I included The Master in the story, I knew I wanted him to turn into a gigantic evil ham. (I'm weird like that.) The image of a cosmic evil ham just seemed too good to pass up.

"Counter-Technique: Shining Teeth Nom Nom Tenkyoken!" Lupa ate the entire Master Roast in one bite.

"Shining Teeth Nom Nom Tenkyoken" is a pretty bad mangling of an attack from G Gundam. For reference, the actual attack is called "Burning Finger! Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken", though to my credit, Shining Finger is another attack used by the same character.

"But little do you know... I WAS A POISONED HAM!" The Master announced. Lupa's golden-white body started to turn black due to The Master's corruption.

"You bastard!" Lupa's body was entirely black. She was under the control of The Master now.

"EXCELLENT!" The Master said as hammily as possible. "NOW I WILL CHALLENGE GOD... AND WIN!" The Master opened up a portal to Heaven.

"Sup Lupa- oh shit!" Jesus was vaporized by The Master's eye lasers. All that remained of Jesus was a pork chop.

I like eye lasers and finger beams. That's probably why they show up so much in my works.

"BWAHAHAHAHA!" The Master laughed. He ate a couple of angels on the way up to God.

"No Lupa! You have to fight back!" Ralph said.

"We're all depending on you!" Phelous encouraged.

"I've... gotta fight back..." Lupa mustered the last of her courage, separating her body from The Master. But The Master had all of her power. Even Ralph and Phelous were still bound to him.

"HEY GOD!" The Master said. "I'M HERE TO TAKE YOUR THRONE!"

"Wait, what?" God looked down at The Master. "Oh, one of you types. Always here to try and take my throne, forgetting that I'm freakin' OMNIPOTENT."

"I'VE USED MY OWN VAGUELY-DEFINED POWERS TO NEUTRALIZE YOURS!" The Master waved his hands around.

"Huh. So you did." God looked a bit worried.

"Wait. I may have lost all of my power... but not all of my talent!" Lupa used her running skills to run at The Master. She punched him in the heart, distracting him long enough for her to steal some of his power away.

"WORM!" The Master dropped a galaxy on Lupa, but Phelous broke free from The Master's control, grabbing the galaxy and throwing it off to the side. Unfortunately, the strain was too great, even for Phelous' enhanced powers: he was mortally wounded.

"Now, Lupa... while you have the chance..."

"Yeah, let's do it!" Lupa turned to God. "You ready, God?"

"Well... not really." God waved his hands and recreated Jesus. "You do it."

"Okay." Jesus said. "Okay, Lupa... ready? DIVINE FUSION!"

Like I said, I wanted to include a fight where Lupa and Jesus fight something, which was what this was originally going to be... but then I just had him turn into powered armor for some reason. I really have no idea why.

Jesus turned into a robot. His limbs and head split apart, attaching to Lupa as armor.

"Oh yeah! Now I'm Final Lupa!" Lupa said. She used her new divine powers to neutralize The Master's powers that were neutralizing God's.

"NO! I WILL NOT BE UNDONE!" The Master gathered all of his energy in a last-ditch attempt to destroy Creation. A gigantic sphere of dark energy engulfed Heaven. Lupa flew to the center of the sphere, where The Master's original body was attached to a massive biomechanical life-support rig.

"It's over, The Master! Hope you enjoyed Heaven, because you won't be going there when I'm done with you!" Final Lupa said. She kicked The Master in his achilles tendon, causing him to explode in an explosion more powerful than anything else ever.

Unfortunately, The Master's corpse collapsed into a supermassive black hole. Normally, a divine-powered God Mode Sue-blessed internet reviewer would use a supermassive black hole as a toothbrush, but The Master had one final trick up his sleeve; the black hole was tapped directly into Lupa's own energy. As long as Lupa was still alive, the black hole would persist... eventually consuming all of Heaven, and the multiverse soon after.

"Don't worry, Lupa." God said. "I'm gonna have to push the reset button on this shit, but I'll set you up nice. I'll let you win the Olympics or something."

"Thanks, God." Lupa said. The world faded into light...

Lupa sat at her computer, writing the script for her latest review.

And of course, the ending implies a time loop where Lupa's locked in the same chain of events for all eternity. Fortunately, she appears in further chapters of Olympics, Sagacious and has a cameo in Sponby, so at some point down the line, she breaks out of it.

"You know, I'm pretty good at running." Lupa wondered to herself. "Maybe I should try out for the Olympics."

So, this was the second time that Olympics ended. I was originally going to end the story here (I added the "epilogue" later, but it's set between chapters), but I decided to pick it up again later for some reason.

CHAPTER 10

(A bonus story! This occurs somewhere in between Chapters 5 and 6.)

"Hahaha, What a story Mark." Johnny said to his friend Mark.

Yeah, it was meant to be sort of an epilogue to Olympics... which I ruined by writing two more chapters. But one thing at a time.

So it starts off on the set of The Room, which was Lupa's first review on TGWTG. I decided to joke about Tommy Wiseau's infamously bizarre acting by making him a robot, but it's not really a joke so much as a bit of amean-spirited jab. I try not to include too many of those in my work, but they do creep in every so often, and I make up for it by having Phelous point out how subtle it is.

"You can say that again." Mark said to his friend Johnny, a successful banker and all-around wonderful guy.

"Hahaha, what a story Mark." Johnny repeated.

"I... I didn't mean that literally."

"Hahaha, what a story Mark."

"Shit. Cut!" Greg waved his hands, stopping the scene. "Guys, Tommy's broken again!"

"Hahaha, what a story Mark."

Greg Sestero, the actor playing Mark, walked over to Tommy and smacked him in the head. Unusually, the sound was a dull metallic ring, not unlike a bell.

"Oh, that's Tommy's robotic duplicate." Philip Haldiman said.

"What? Since when does he have a robot duplicate?" Greg asked.

"But his mannerisms are completely inhuman! Didn't you notice at all?" Juliette Danielle asked.

"...no?" Greg said sheepishly.

"SUBTLE!" Phelous jumped on the set and spouted one of his many catchphrases.

"Who the hell are you?" the entire cast asked.

"It's kind of a long story. See, Tommy caught a bad case of death, and we're using time travel to bring him back - but due to timey-wimey reasons, we need a body double to put there in the first place." Phelous exposited.

"But we need him to film the movie!" Juliette said.

"Screw that! Let's just raid Tommy's bank account and get the hell out of here!" Greg said. "I hate this fucking movie anyways, so it serves him right." The rest of the cast agreed, and they all walked off the set.

"Hahaha, what a story Mark." Robo-Tommy said. Phelous created a few NanoPhelouses to help him carry Robo-Tommy back to the stolen TARDIS. They went back in time to 12,000 BC, where Lupa, N. Chick, Todd, Film Brain, Ralph and Tommy were involved in an epic struggle.

"Mwahahahaha!" Queen ZesuOtaku laughed. "With the almighty power of Robvos, I'll live eternally!"

Now, this next part of the chapter is an extended... parody? I don't think I can even call it that. It mirrors a scene in Chrono Trigger, but with the cast replaced by TGWTGers (and Tommy Wiseau).

Reading it now, I'm rather unsatisfied with this whole sequence, which is probably why I went back and wrote two more chapters.

"We won't let that happen!" Lupa said, drawing her autocrossbow that she nicked from some king guy. She set the autocrossbow on rapid-fire and loaded it with icicles, but Robvos' thick shell resisted the volley.

"..." Todd beat on Robvos with his lightning club, clearly upset over the fact that he was now a mute.

"We can't do this alone. Come on, let's combine our powers!" N.Chick said, blasting Robvos with a heat ray.

Film Brain, Ralph and Tommy were sitting on the sidelines, since only three people can fight at one time.

"You know, Tommy, you don't have to wear the Ayla costume." Ralph said, averting his eyes.

"I am very dedicated to my character, Ralph." Tommy responded.

You are now thinking of Tommy Wiseau in Ayla's costume. I'm sorry.

In case it's not clear, Lupa's Marle, Todd's Crono, N. Chick's Lucca, Film Brain is Frog, Ralph is Robo, Tommy is Ayla and Phelous is Magus.

"I can see that." Film Brain said, his carpet of virility proudly displayed for all. "But why can't we help them out at all?"

The "carpet of virility" is a joke based on Mathew's TV Tropes page, which lists him as having a carpet of virility (read: manly chest hair). He was rather amused by this on Twitter, hence why I put it in here.

"THERE ARE RULES." Ralph said, glaring at Film Brain.

"Sorry I asked."

"Now, Robvos! Finish these weak humans off!" ZO demanded. But Robvos was not about to take orders from what he saw as a tick; he conjured a huge flame barrier around himself, vaporizing ZO.

"God damnit this cameo sucked..." ZO said as she died. Robvos then turned to the three other ticks attacking him. He blasted them aside with a punch beam from the punch dimension, then prepared to finish them off once and for all.

Why does Robvos have "punch beams from the punch dimension?" That's a very good question. See, regular Lavos has an attack called "Destruction rains from the heavens", which I always interpreted as a huge amount of lasers. But since this is Robvos, he instead has "force beams", ie. Cyclops from the X-Men's power.

"Todd no!" Tommy yelled, jumping in front of the disintegration ray. Tommy's body absorbed the blow, leaving his allies unharmed.

"And this is where I come in!" Phelous said, watching from the TARDIS. He paused time and replaced real Tommy with Robo-Tommy.

"Oh hai Phelous. You are so great for rescuing me, haah?" Tommy said.

"Yeah, you're welcome." While time was still paused, he grabbed Lupa and dragged her into the TARDIS.

"Tommy Wiseau. I've been meaning to have a word with you." Lupa said, glaring at one of her many arch-enemies.

"Why Lupa, why?" Tommy asked. "We fought together for so long in a bad parody! I wore a fur bikini just for you! I gave you thirteen hours of my life!"

"Yeah, well I didn't want to break the fourth wall. Unlike Mr. Ooh-Look-At-Me-I'm-So-Meta-I'm-Referencing-The-Fact-That-This-Is-A-Poorly-Done-Fanfic-Based-Around-That-Guy-With-The-Glasses-Members-Being-Generic-Mary-Sues-And-Playing-Roles-In-Chrono-Trigger-For-No-Adequately-Explained-Reason here." Lupa said.

"Yeah, I really need to find a better nickname." Phelous said sarcastically.

"No Lupa!" Tommy screamed in anger and bad actingness. "I will tape you. I will tape you all!" Tommy grabbed his Fire Spoon and started hurling fireballs at Lupa, which was her elemental weakness!

"Not anymore bitch!" Lupa said, dodging the fireballs with ease. A couple of the NanoPhelouses got hit by the fireballs and died. "We're not in a poorly-done parody anymore, so I've got my full array of powers now!"

"Oh, like what? Are you going to use Anti-Spoon-Obscura-Spray on me?" Tommy chuckled.

"Nope." Lupa instead fired finger beams at Tommy, amputating all of his limbs.

"You're tearing-"

"Don't finish that." Phelous interrupted.

"Now Tommy, what should we do with you?" Lupa pondered. "I'm thinking we should drop you off at the beginning of time, so that you get utterly annihilated by the Big Bang."

"I think we should take him to the end of the universe and let heat death do its work." Phelous suggested.

"Or maybe we should throw him into a black hole?"

"No, then he'd just gain cosmic powers for no inexplicable reason and go on to mess with the Animorphs."

I don't remember much about the Animorphs series, but I do remember that the Ellimist (a jerkass god of sorts) gained near-omnipotence by falling into a black hole of some variety. I don't think it exactly happened like that, but that's why the random mention of the Animorphs are in there.

"True." Lupa said. "Hmm... Oh, I know!"

In the Great Hall, I ate some Count Chocula cereal with blood instead of milk, and a glass of red blood. Suddenly someone bumped into me. All the blood spilled over my top.

"Oh hai Ebony Dark'ness Dementia TARA Way. You are looking so beautiful and sexy today." Tommy said.

"wtf ur nt goff 1!get away frm me u poser prep" Enoby responded.

"But I have no limbs! I am more goffic than you will ever be!" Tommy said. He was floating to move around, though he had to consume over twenty times his body weight every day in various gassy foods to do so.

"A fart joke? Really?" Phelous asked Lupa. They were looking at the scene from the TARDIS.

"Yep!" Lupa said, smiling.

"And how is this a punishment?" Phelous asked.

"Oh, you'll see." Lupa said. "Just wait until Ebory starts confusing him with the other three Toms in the story." She giggled maniacally.

"Whatever. So what happened with Robvos anyways?"

"Da howling got him and fixed the timestream."

"Uh, can we see that happening?" Phelous walked over to the TARDIS' console to go back in time, but Lupa slapped his hand away.

"Nope, you'll just have to take my word for it."

"In other words, the narrator's rigidly adhering to show don't tell." Phelous snarked, obviously not aware that taunting a nigh-omnipotent disembodied voice isn't a great idea.

"God, that joke's been done so much it's not funny anymore!" Lupa complained.

"Then it's par for the course!" Phelous chuckled. "Seriously, what's even happened here? Sure, you won the Olympics, beat up Satan, went back in time and fought the Master, dealt with a particularly terribly-written self-insert, but then God just dropped a reset button on it! And to top it all off, it's a fanfic, which is pretty much the bottom of the barrel!"

"Yeah, it sucked pretty bad." Lupa agreed. "But at least the real-life Lupa liked it enough to mention it on her Twitter, and also in the commentary video with Doug! That's a pretty big ego-booster to the author!"

"Should you really be encouraging GigaBob or whatever to write more of this shit? I mean, just look at Eternal Love Story or whatever! It was a terrible idea that someone just had to do! And don't get me started on that other fanfic with that other guy."

"Yeah, but at least it was kind of a fun read, right?"

And Phelous and Lupa close out the fic by complaining how bad it was. Par for the course, really. Though again, this didn't end up actually being the end, so it's kind of pointless to still have it here.

"No, not really." Phelous opened the door of the TARDIS and went back to his home. Lupa had a few more adventures before returning to her own home, where Doctor Who would ambush her and the rest of the story would happen. But due to time travel not working that way, this epilogue part chronologically takes place at the end. Get it? Chronologically? Chrono Trigger? It all ties together!

"Go get a job." Lupa said to the narrator. She sat down at her computer. She checked her twitter feed, and saw that one of her followers sent her a link to a fanfic called "Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics"...

Chapter 11:

Chapters 11 and 12 were written long after I 'finished' Olympics. When I heard that not one, but two poor souls decided to do a Dramatic Reading of it (a fact I bring up in-story), I suddenly felt inspired to write more. It was only coincidence that it brought the total chapter count to 12, which is a bit of an arc number for Giga Bob for some reason.

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, Giga Bob sat at his computer, typing up another chapter of Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics. In this chapter, Lupa would team up with Rinry and Film Brain, and they would go and stop World War II. He briefly considered revealing Hitler as an evil Nietzsche from another alternate dimension, but decided against it. What kind of twist would that be?

Suddenly, Phelous!

"Hey you! Being a meta Canadian guy is my shtick!" Phelous jumped out of Giga Bob's computer monitor and uppercutted him, knocking Giga Bob into space. Phelous then tapped into his previously-unmentioned conjuration powers and summoned a tower of clones of himself, climbing it in record time and knocking Giga Bob back into his house. Fortunately, since he was writing the story, Giga Bob had plot armor to the max, and survived atmospheric re-entry.

So yeah, in this one, I write myself as Giga Bob in as a whiny manchild. I'm quite the fan of self-deprecation. And yes, I am Canadian, hence why Phelous complains.

"What did I do?" Giga Bob whined, crying extremely unmanly tears.

"You wrote that horrible Hans Von Hozel style fic!" Phelous shouted. "You made Sponby and Benzair rape me and Lupa's dead, cold corpses!"

Again, I'm not particularly proud of Love Story make Eternel, hence why I had Phelous insult me for it.

"It was a parody!"

"I'll show you a parody! ARROW TO THE KNEE!" Phelous conjured a bound bow and shot Giga Bob in the knee. Giga Bob's plot armor failed because of dramatic convenience, and to add insult to injury, it hit him in his bad knee.

Phelous summoning a bound bow is a reference to his unexplained conjuration abilities, which I pretty much codified here. I'm not really sure why I decided to give him the ability to summon things, but since I've established it, I can use it later on and have it make sense... kinda.

"Damnit!" Giga Bob was still crying. "Now I can't write fanfics anymore, because I took an ar-"

"DON'T FINISH THAT!" Phelous took Giga Bob's good leg and ripped it right out, then bludgeoned him to death with it. Once he was done, Phelous grabbed Giga Bob's computer and defenestrated it.

"Phelous noooo!" Lupa jumped out of the inactive monitor.

"Gee, I sure was uncharacteristically angry for a bit there." Phelous said, returning to his usual deadpan. "I guess he's still controlling us on some level."

"Sucks to be you, Phelous!" Lupa laughed. "See, I'm the awesome Mary Sue wish fulfillment character, and you're the terrible out-of-character sidekick who's gonna die to set up the author's preferred ship!"

"Oh, really? I'm gonna die?" Phelous snarked.

"Yep. Suddenly, I'm in love with the Makeover Fairy." Lupa said. "No. No, that would be retarded. At least go for a het ship, please?"

"No!" Another version of Giga Bob, decked out in awesome futuristic plot armor, teleportaled in. "I will ship you with whomever or whatever I please! For this is Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics, and I am God! Now you are in love with Lloyd!"

Lupa x Lloyd used to be my OTP, but now it's Lupa/Buffy/Radu. No, not seriously, but I'd like to see someone try and write a serious fic about that.

"Why?" Lupa asked. "If you're going to ship me, I at least need some motivation."

"Uhhh..." Giga Bob scratched his head. "Okay, you got me. Wanna have a beer?"

"Hell yeah!"

Giga Bob opened his fridge and pulled out a six-pack. He threw it in a bucket of ice on a table that was totally there before, and they sat down and had a drink.

Lupa glanced at Giga Bob's movie shelf. "Uhh... 'I Was Kidnapped By Lesbians From Outer Space'? 'I Need To Fart 5'? 'High School Musical!' You're demented!"

"Says the person who reviews bad movies for a living." Giga Bob shot back. "Besides, I only set up that shelf so that you would comment on it, showing my nerd cred by referencing a webcomic that's not actually a movie, and a prequel of a porno from another terrible fanfic."

"I Was Kidnapped By Lesbians From Outer Space" is in fact a webcomic, though one I read so long ago that I don't know if it's still around or not. And "I Need To Fart 5" is another in the "I Need To Fart" series referred to by Naruto Vengeance Revelations (or however you spell it), another notorious badfic (but the ending redeems it all. Seriously, go read it.)

"You crafty bastard."

"No, not really." Phelous said. "Why the hell are we even here in the first place? You were gonna write something about World War II or something, right?"

A quick digression here. I did originally write the chapter with Lupa, Rinry and Film Brain killing evil Nietzsche Hitler, but then my power went out. It wasn't exactly the greatest anyways, so I wrote this chapter instead... but then I decided to rewrite it as Chapter 12, and it turned out a lot better. But, just to add to the metaness, the lost version of chapter 11 is a plot point in Sagacious, where it's what happened in the alternate version of Olympics. Yes, I like insane continuity and metafiction, why do you ask?

"Actually, I already did." Giga Bob said. "But there's a person doing a dramatic reading of this fic, and I want them to suffer through two more chapters of my horrible writing." (Seriously though, I'm honored that anyone would read this fic, much less read it dramatically on Youtube. You're awesome, SuperFunTimeAwsomeo and Tehblackarachnid!)

"Whatever." Phelous said dismissively. "Why don't you just end the fic and go back to whatever you do during the day?"

"Because I don't do anything during the day! My life is Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics 24/7! I really... really... wish I had a job..." Giga Bob started crying into his beer.

"God, you're such a man-child." Lupa chuckled a bit. "And you're making us laugh at you to get a few sympathy points from the audience. Way to go."

"I know! I'm horrible..."

Phelous chucked his beer at Giga Bob's head, knocking him out cold.

"Come on, Lupa. Let's get out of here before he tries making out with you or something." Phelous teleported away, and Lupa followed.

They appeared on a grassy field in the middle of the night. The moon loomed above them, and it was visible getting larger and larger... or closer and closer, as it were.

"What the hell is this?" Lupa asked. "This is not my beautiful house!"

"Plot contrivance!" Phelous said.

"I'll show YOU plot contrivance!"

Hundreds of glowing red eyes peered at them from the shadows. They slowly started creeping toward the two, revealing that they were all human - or, were human. They still had the basic shape of a human, but the lack of fresh blood had degenerated them into long-limbed, fanged abominations.

I don't know why it took so long to include vampires in Olympics. Should've been an obvious choice for villains.

The "vampires who turn monstrous when they feed on themselves" is in particular inspired by Daybreakers, a pretty good vampire flick that I quite enjoyed. I'm sure it's been done a few times in other vampire-related works, but Daybreakers was the specific inspiration.

"Vampires." Lupa said. She reached into her cleavage and pulled out a stake. "Good thing I always come prepared."

I couldn't help myself writing in Lupa having an emergency stake in her cleavage. In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit wary about over-sexualizing Lupa since she's a quasi-real person and I don't want to offend her too much, but I don't think an emergency stake is too bad, especially since it almost seems in character for this version of her.

She threw the stake at one of the vampires, hitting it directly in the heart. Unfortunately, these vampires were different, and lacked the weakness to stakes. Lupa tried throwing a steak instead, bit the cut of raw meat flopped uselessly upon hitting one of the fanged ones. This only served to stir them into a feeding frenzy.

"Good job!" Phelous said. He conjured some garlic and silver crucifixes, which held them at bay for a moment, but not a second more. All the while, the moon kept creeping closer, threatening to destroy them all.

Lupa tried throwing holy water, but she didn't have any hearts. So she ripped out Phelous' heart and used it as fuel for her subweapon; the holy water actually did damage, burning a few of the vampires into ash. Phelous reappeared.

"What was that for?" Phelous said angrily. Ignoring him, Lupa grabbed another heart and threw more holy water. She kept repeating this act until most of the vampires were gone; unfortunately, the cries of the dead vampires had attracted more of them.

"Quick, Phelous! We need more firepower!" Lupa said.

"Huh? Aren't you still the God Mode Sue or something? Shouldn't you be able to just wipe them out by twitching your eyebrow or something?"

"Nope!"

I did actually write in a reason why Lupa loses her God Mode Sue powers, but it doesn't come into play until the end of Sagacious. My original idea was that this took place after the end of Sponby in a rebooted universe, but it didn't quite work out that way.

Phelous sighed. He reanimated all of his clone corpses, and they linked up to form MegaPhelous! And Lupa formed the head, upgrading it to MegaLupalous, with Type-V equipment! They sprayed holy water all around, drenching and killing a ton of vampires. Lupa focused light from the full moon, directing it as a beam of light and vaporizing even more vampires.

"Type-V" stands for Vampire, if that wasn't obvious. And I don't know why, but I like the name "MegaLupalous" for some reason. Better than "NanoMegaPhelupa".

But they weren't dumb. They could learn. The surviving vampires linked up too, forming a mega-vampire. And several of these mega-vampires linked up to each other, forming a mega-mega-vampire.

The mega-mega vampire is an obscure nod to Megas XLR, where a bunch of enemy mechas combine into a single larger mecha... and then five or six of those mechas combine into an absolutely massive single mecha.

"Bullshit! I call bullshit!" Lupa shouted. "That's just not fair!"

"Fools!" the mega-mega-vampire said. "This world is about to die! We will put you under our thrall and escape to another world, where we will gorge our stomachs until they burst!"

"Nope! Come on Phelouses, let's use our finishing attack! MEGA! LUPALOUS! DAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOWLING!"

The moon cracked like an eggshell. A huge-ass werewolf descended from inside the moon, crushing the mega-mega-vampire with its foot. It then threw the remnants of the moon into Counter-Earth, where the vampires originally came from; the moon destroyed Counter-Earth, ending the threat of these particular brand of vampires forever.

And I found it kind of ironic that a werewolf would come out of the moon, since most of them are terrified of it and all that. But as proven by this fic, my sense of humor is kind of lacking.

"Well that was rather anti-climactic." Phelous said. The werewolf was chowing down on his now-unneeded corpses.

"Nope!" Lupa said. They both laughed, and they held each other until the sun rose. Then, they teleported away, into yet more adventures...

Chapter 12:

I kinda knew that Chapter 12 was going to be the definitive end of Olympics, so I decided to make it epic. And what better way to end this insane mess of non-logic and metafiction than by having Lupa fight Hitler? That was the main reason I rewrote this chapter after the power outage.

Lupa was enjoying a nice snack of fried alligator on a stick when she heard a knock on the door. She had to kill a few ninjas to get to her door, but she needed some more cat food anyways. Ash and Checkers went to town on the dead ninjas as she opened the door, to see a familiar face.

"80's Dan?" Lupa was surprised to see him here. She'd told him that she never wanted to see him again.

I don't plan on explaining what exactly happened with Lupa and 80's Dan, mostly because it's funnier that way. I will, however, say that it involved cocaine and lots and lots of butter.

"Sorry babe, I know about the restraining order and all that, but this is important."

80's Dan stepped to the side, and Lupa walked onto the sidewalk. Before her eyes, her neighborhood changed into a horribly-depressing version of itself, with swastika flags draped over everything and everyone.

"What the hell?" Lupa wondered.

"Someone went back in time to change the past, ensuring that the Nazis won World War II!" Dan exposited. "As a fellow time-traveler, both you and I are immune to the changes, which means it's up to us to set right what once went wrong!"

"Is this just another way to get back together with me? Because I'm already in a relationship."

"No, it's not like that at all!" Dan said. Lupa could tell that he was sincere... either that, or he was high beyond belief. Either way, he was telling the truth.

"Okay. Well, my TARDIS is in the shop for maintenance, so how are we supposed to get back to the past?" Lupa asked.

"SYMBOLISM!" Film Brain jumped out from behind the black.

"Film Brain, what u doin here?" Lupa said. "Seriously, you brought him of all people?"

Like JewWario, I like Film Brain, and I think he's a bit underrated. I did technically include him in Chapter 10, but he only got one or two lines, so I put him in here too just because. Unfortunately, Rinry doesn't get to come this time, but we'll say that, in the Olympics continuity, she's the prime minister of Canada.

"My options were kinda limited." Dan said. "In this future, all of the TGWTG crew are Third Reich propaganda agents! I only managed to rescue Mathew before the time-ripple took effect."

"Come on, Allison! I'm plenty useful!" Film Brain protested.

"Sure you are, Scrappy Doo."

Film Brain skulked into a corner, while Lupa went on the computer. She checked TGWTG, and clicked one of the Nostalgia Critic's videos...

"But it's exactly the same." Lupa said.

"Are you really surprised?" Dan said, mugging for the camera.

I can just imagine a real-life version of 80's Dan walking around with a pre-recorded laugh track precisely to mug to a nonexistent camera.

(LAUGH TRACK)

"Okay, so here's the plan." Dan unfurled a map on Lupa's table. They shooed the cats out, as they were rather noisily masticating. Dan pointed to Berlin. "I'm going to send you and Film Brain here at the height of Hitler's power. You'll kill him, which will cause a temporal cascade that'll bring both of you back to the unaltered present."

"Sounds like bullshit to me." Lupa complained. "Why don't we just go back further and kill Hitler before he was born?"

"Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act." Dan said. "Nobody's allowed to kill Hitler at any time except when he's supposed to eat his gun."

"Whatever. Hey, Film Brain! Come here!"

"Ah, so we're ready to kill Hitler, then?" A wide grin spread across Film Brain's face. He grabbed a convenient cricket back with nails in it and caressed it like a child. "Good. I've always wanted to kill me some Nazis."

"Damn right! Everyone should kill at least one Nazi in their life!" Lupa grabbed her infinite-ammo rocket launcher. "So, Dan, how do we get back to the past?"

Dan held up a bag of white powder. "How do you think?"

That white powder is, in fact, magical time-traveling warp dust. What did you think it was?

A few minutes (from their perspective) later, Film Brain and Lupa arrived in Nazi Germany. Immediately, several Nazis started shouting and firing at them, but Lupa's rockets blew them into little chunks.

Again, it doesn't make sense for Lupa to pull out random weapons from nowhere, but once I've established them, I can keep using them. I'm especially fond of the infinite rocket launcher, which seems like the perfect solution to any problem, really. what can't be solved by applying more explosions?

But unfortunately for them, this version of World War II involved occult powers. The blown-up Nazis rose as zombies conveniently immune to rockets, so Film Brain wailed on them with his club. Lupa pulled a nodachi from hammerspace and impaled several Nazi zombies on it like a skewer, and threw them into a river.

"Ha ha!" Lupa laughed. But the Nazi zombies rose again as Nazi ghosts. Fortunately, the nails on Film Brain's bat were made from the nails that held Jesus to the cross, which made it really powerful, especially against Nazi undead of all types. Lupa had harvested the hearts of those ninjas, so she had plenty of holy water to use against them.

But their holy weapons had drawn the ire of Hitler himself.

"LUPA!" A ghostly apparition of Hitler appeared before them. Lupa tried throwing holy water at him, but he was little more than an illusion.

"Hitler." Lupa grimaced.

"I have heard of you, Lupa. But unfortunately for you, I too wield a holy artifact!" The ghost Hitler held up a small bag. "This bag contains shards of the Cross, the Ark and the Ten Commandments. As long as you are within my domain, your powers are neutralized!"

Hitler was actually not really interested in occultism at all, but his subordinates were. But that's not quite as interesting. Even still, since this is Olympics, he's not only a powerful wizard, but he has steampunk robots and an orbital death satellite.

I believe that either Marvel or DC (or both) had Hitler possessing the Spear of Destiny or some other holy artifact, which was the explanation for why the superheroes of the Golden Age didn't all go into Germany and punch Hitler in the face.

"Oh really?" Lupa threw a grenade at ghost Hitler, blowing him up.

"How in the bloody hell did you blow up a ghost?" Film Brain asked as he bludgeoned more Nazi zombie goasts.

"I'm just that good." Lupa put on her shades, then teleported into Hitler's bunker.

"Ach!" Hitler immediately consumed the souls of Eva Braun and his dog, as well as the attendants in the bunker. "Lupa! Do you think you stand a chance against the power of the Third Reich?"

"Yep." Lupa took out her rocket launcher and unloaded it into Hitler, blowing his body away. But Hitler's evil persisted as a phantom, and he flew into space, possessing the Nazi satellite in orbit above them. He fired the satellite's cannon (which was powered by pure Nazism), completely demolishing Berlin, but Lupa survived.

Unfortunately, the temporal cascade spoken of by Dan had already started to take effect. Film Brain was ripped out of the past and flung into the far future, where he would become Supreme Leader of the Morlocks. Lupa, meanwhile, flew up into space, deflecting another shot of the Nazi satellite cannon with lots of explosions.

Lupa flew into the barrel of the Nazi satellite cannon and used the last of her hearts to stop time. She attached a number of remote mines to the inside of the barrel, flew outside of it, and detonated the mines while firing more rockets into it. The cannon exploded rather magnificently, but the satellite itself was mostly unharmed.

"Lupa! I will not be defeated by you!" Hitler, now possessing a steampunk robot body, flew out at Lupa. He delivered a roundhouse to her face, but Lupa countered by karate chopping right through his body. Hitler called on most of his occult powers, summoning a portal to Hell; Lupa knocked him into it, but that was exactly what Hitler expected. He possessed a bunch of demons and amalgamated them into a body horror-riffic new body.

Demon Robot Ghost Hitler. Just throwing that out there.

Lupa countered with more rockets, but Demon Hitler was far too powerful. She flew directly into Hell and stabbed him in the heart with an unbreakable silver sword, but Hitler's sheer hate melted the sword before it did any damage.

"Shit!" Lupa said. Demon Hitler grabbed her and tried to crush her in his grip, but she managed to get out by tearing through one of his fingers. She had more weapons, but none of them would be very effective against fucking Demon Hitler.

Except one.

"Rise, Rothrockathon!" Lupa dramatically posed as a giant metal replica of Cynthia Rothrock emerged from a subspace rift. Lupa entered the head of the mecha, which she'd commissioned from Linkara after King Gettergaizinger Kaiser Lagann X was destroyed when she fought The Master. It was quite a bit more powerful, and more thematically appropriate!

Again, my love of Super Robots made me include one last robot in Olympics. The Rothrockathon was my original concept for Lupa's themed mecha way back in Chapter 1, but I decided to go with King Whatever instead because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

"Argh!" Demon Hitler cowered in the face of his new enemy. But he would not fall so easily! He fired a beam of pure evil at the Rothrockathon, but Lupa's power, amplified by the mecha, deflected it easily.

But she was already feeling the corruptive effects of Hell on her. If Lupa stayed here too long, she wouldn't be able to leave. She had to finish this quick.

"FINISHING MOVE!" Lupa shouted, activating the voice-recognition software that started the finishing move process. "OBSCURUS LUPA PRESENTS... YOUR DEATH, BY ME!"

And I wanted Lupa's finishing move to be a really cheesy one-liner. I knew it had to be done.

The Rothrockathon summoned more weapons than actually exist and bombarded Demon Hitler with all of them, while at the same time summoning myriad clones of itself and performing every single martial arts moves ever invented.

Even Demon Hitler could not take it. His body was beaten, and the demons of Hell happily took his soul into its depths. Of course, they were all too happy to take Lupa's soul too, so she had to escape. She opened another subspace rift and tried going through it, but the demons were already clawing at the Rothrockathon's feet, dragging her back.

As its first and last act of true sentience, the Rothrockathon ripped its own head off and threw it into the rift. The rift closed, and Lupa's last glance of the Rothrockathon's body was of it being dragged into Hell by demons.

A temporal cascade hit, teleporting Lupa back to her home.

"Ah, welcome back!" Dan said. "So you were successful?"

"Yep. I killed Demon Hitler!"

"Sweet! Now will you get back together with me?"

"Nope!" Phelous kicked Dan in the groin and threw him in the dumpster outside. They both laughed at his misfortune.

And so, we end Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics. You now have insight into the twisted mind that wrote it... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But, if you haven't had your fill, tune in next time when we look at Sponby Reloaded.

Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics: Commentary Part 1

OBSCURUS LUPA WINS THE OLYMPICS

Hi everyone. I'm GigaBob, the personality who wrote Obscurus Lupa Wins the Olympics (which I'll be referring to as simply "Olympics" from here on out) and other "quality" literature.

Just to get it out of the way, my real name is not Bob or Robert. I chose the name "GigaBob" because it sounded kind of generic, basically to represent a generic fanfic author with decent spelling and grammar. I also didn't want to use my main handle, due to being a bit embarrassed when I posted my first fic; my opinion's since changed, which I'll get into below.

The first fic I posted was The Life and Times of Lordgenome, which I wrote one night because I was bored. (This is a frequent thing for me: my best ideas all come to me in the night.) Then, when I heard that Lupa and Phelous were going out, I wrote "Eternl Lov Stroy" (which has since been renamed to "Love Story Make Eternel"), which is meant to be a parody of Hans Von Hozel, who writes strange, usually short stories with bizarre downer endings (except, ironically, one based on The Human Centipede). If you haven't checked out Hans Von Hozel yet, I highly recommend him, since he's hilariously bad and almost certainly a troll.

(Since it's kind of short, here's my personal opinion of Lov Stroy: I'm pretty ashamed about it, actually. I feel really dirty involving caricatures of real people being killed and raped without any really funny bits. It's a parody, yeah, but I still feel bad about writing it.) But after I wrote Lov Story, I saw the line "Suddenly, Sponby" quoted at a few places around, which inspired me to do further work. Originally, I was going to write a story about the titular Sponby (a corruption of The Spoony One, if you didn't get it): that fic would eventually morph into Sponby Reloaded, which I'll get into at a later date.

Instead, I decided to write more about Lupa, partially to make up for killing and raping her and partially because I was feeling particularly inspired. The title "Obscurus Lupa Wins The Olympics" just jumped out at me, and I ran with it. Like another legendary badfic, Cloud Mows The Lawn, Olympics really has nothing to do with the Olympics past the first chapter besides a few token references later on. This was entirely intentional, both as an homage to the former fic and because I thought it was funny.

See, that's how I write fanfics. Almost all of my current fics as of this writing are silly and deliberately over-the-top, with only a semblance of continuity or logic. I suppose you could call them troll fics, but I don't consider myself a troll: I prefer to think of Olympics and my other fics as a lighthearted parody, not a nasty jab at a certain author or group. I guess the difference is semantic, but none of my fics are meant to be taken seriously, even the serious ones. I just write them for fun. But anyways, on to the story itself. The story'll be posted in full, and whenever you see one of these buttons, click it to see my exciting and insightful comments on my own work. On to the main event!

CHAPTER 1:

Lupa was really happy. She had just won the Olympics! It had taken a lot of training and money, but it all paid off in the end.

I've labelled this fic 'exactly what it says on the tin' in the past, but when you get down to it, Lupa only wins the 100-meter dash, not the entire Olympics. Again, like Cloud Mows The Lawn, this is intentional. (Granted, it'd be pretty tough to win every single event, even for a Sue, but that's basically the least impressive achievement Lupa will rack up in this fic and Sagacious.)

"I won the 100m dash!" Lupa said. She had a gold medal around her neck, and she had even set a new world record! This was one of the best days ever, Lupa thought.

Suddenly, Sponby! He descended from the sky, riding on wings of anti-baryonic dark energy. The screams of elvish maidens sacrificing their innocence to ancient outer ones followed him, sending the entire stadium into convulsions of cruel ecstacy.

"The end of all things is nigh!" Sponby yelled in the despair of a thousand universes, cracking the brittle shell of the earth beneath him. He greedily drank the life-blood of the planet.

I'm not sure how well it comes across in the final product, but Sponby's appearance is sort of meant to be a nod to Thirty Hs. I don't really know where I had the idea to make Sponby (originally a misspelling of Spoony from Love Story) a cosmic horror, but evidently it was enough for an entire other fic. Also, "Suddenly, Sponby!" appears here again, mostly because I'm a huge whore.

"What do you mean?" Lupa asked.

"What the fuck do you think I mean? We're all gonna die, bitch!" Sponby screamed in desperation.

"Do not worry!" the president of the Olympics said. "We can help." He pulled a key out of his blazer and stuck it into the Olympic torch. The entire stadium transformed into a gigantic head, which flew into space and attached itself to an even bigger mecha.

"Lupa, it is your destiny to save the multiverse!" the president of the Olympics said. "You must pilot King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X!"

An astute reader might notice that there's a lot of giant robot action in Olympics and my other fics. It's straight-up author appeal - I love giant robots, especially the Super Robot genre where physics gets punted into a corner while giant robots do awesome things. The deliberate over-the-topness of my work can probably be attributed to my love of Gurren Lagann, an intentionally over-the-top anime which I highly recommend, even if you're not a fan of the genre. The name of Lupa's mecha refers to four other giant robot series: can you guess them all?

"But I don't know the first thing about piloting giant robots!" Lupa protested.

"Don't worry, Lupa. I will help!" Phelous said as he appeared from a portal. He grabbed Lupa's hand, and they passionately embraced before taking the controls of the gargantuan steel titan.

"It's easy! Just stick this thing into your ear!" Phelous grabbed a USB stick from the dashboard and gave it to Lupa. Against her better judgement, she stuck the USB stick in her ear, transfering her consciousness to the mecha.

"We are nowhere near powerful enough to take on the end of all things." Sponby said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I've got that covered." Phelous split himself into two smaller clones, which split themselves into four clones, and so on until there were billions of nano-Phelouses. The Phelouses started to pile on top of each other, until they formed a regular-sized Phelous.

"...what was the point of that?" Sponby asked.

"Take a look at this!" Phelous said as every nano-Phelous simultaneously committed suicide, spawning two exact copies of the macro nano-Phelous. They too combined and killed themselves, repeating this act until the NanoMegaPhelous was the size of the mecha.

I really have no idea where I came up with the idea of NanoMegaPhelous. I guess it was supposed to be a parody of combining mecha in general, but without the mecha, but it just comes off as strange in the final product. At the same time though, I established that Phelous in this universe can summon clones of himself, which would stay pretty consistent throughout Olympics and Sagacious.

"I've got a spaceship!" Linkara said.

"Cool! Let's combine!" Lupa said. They initiated a combination, resulting in King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X gaining the Comicron-1 as a purdy hat.

"Aww, I didn't want to be a hat..." Linkara complained.

"Too bad!" Lupa chuckled.

"Ehehehehehehe!" Doctor Insano said over a commlink, as the Sun transformed into an even bigger mecha-Insano. "Behold, the Unconquered Sun! Of Science!"

"And we're here to help too!" the Nostalgia Chick, Nella, Elisa and Todd said, showing up in a paaank fembot mecha.

"What the fuck is happening here?" the Cinema Snob asked, showing up in an immaculately-dressed Cinema Snob mecha.

"We're going to save the universe!" Lupa said. "Now, who's with me!"

"I am!" Angry Joe said, transforming the Angry Joe Watchtower into a lightning-spewing mecha.

"You have my sword!" Suede said while piloting twenty Gundams welded together.

"And my axe!" Paw said, riding a mecha-sized Vespa.

"And my gun." the Nostalgia Critic said, piloting the Death Star.

And I gave the rest of the TGWTG cast robots because having themed mechas amused me for some reason. I'll ruin the joke by explaining the origins of the mechas in the next chapter, mostly because I'm not sure that my thought process on all of the names is exactly clear.

"TGWTG-dan!" the president of the Olympics said. "Go and fight, for everlasting peace!"

I dunno, I've always liked the line "Fight for everlasting peace!" I think it's from the first Mega Man game, but I think it sums up the entire franchise really well - the heroes are almost always locked in some sort of war, and they have to keep fighting on the off chance that they can make the future better.

CHAPTER 2:

A quick rundown of the TGWTG-dan:

-King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X: Piloted by Lupa, Sponby and the president of the Olympics

-MegaNanoPhelous: a planet-sized Phelous made up of normal-sized Phelouses made up of nano-sized Phelouses

-Comicron-1: piloted by Linkara (and supporting cast), serving as Lupa's mecha's hat

-Unconquered Sun of Science: piloted by Dr. Insano

-Feminism Bot: piloted by (and supporting cast) and Todd in the Shadows

-Snob Racer X: piloted by the Cinema Snob (and supporting cast)

-Mega Ultra Giga Joe: piloted by the Angry Joe Army

-Twenty Gundams welded together: Piloted by Suede

-Halluko Vespa: Piloted by Paw and Pushing Up Roses

-Death Star: Piloted by the Nostalgia Critic (and supporting cast)

-The 666th Blistered Thumb Regiment, piloted by everyone else

I added this mostly to amuse myself with the "witty" names of the TGWTG-dan (for those who don't speak weeaboo, "-dan" roughly means "team"). I'm going to completely ruin the joke by explaining the references, since most of them don't really make sense if you're not me.

The Unconquered Sun is a character from the tabletop game Exalted, which also has a general theme of being over the top in every way. But I ruin what joke there is by referring to the wrong thing - in the Exalted universe, the sun is actually a ship called the Dirgible Engine Daystar, and the Unconquered Sun is a god-like figure. The "Of Science" is a nod to an old show called Bill Nye The Science Guy, which often added "Of Science!" to various objects (along with a little fanfare), and it seems to me like Doctor Insano would be a big Bill Nye fan.

I never included a description of the Feminism Bot, but I always imagined it as a pink version of Hedonism Bot from Futurama. That's not a joke, really, just more of my twisted delusions.

I don't know why, but the Cinema Snob always reminded me of Racer X from Speed Racer for some reason. Must be the sexy voice. So his mecha is the Snob Racer X, which probably just looks like Racer X's car but a lot bigger (and maybe with some pretentious glasses).

Mega Ultra Giga Joe is the transformed Angry Joe Watchtower, with three prefixes added to show its mega ultra giganess. Shonen shows in general tend to just add prefixes to names to indicate a new mode or powerup or whatever, so that's what it's parodying, I guess.

Same with twenty Gundams welded together. As a whole, I'm more of a Super Robot fan than a Real Robot fan (the difference is that Real Robot shows tend to be more realistic and gritty in tone, for those unaware). So I'm not a huge Gundam fan, which is why it's just twenty generic Gundams welded together, and not specific ones like the Wing Zero or Turn A or whatever.

Halluko Vespa is a bit complex. Hall comes from Hall and Oates, one of Roses' favorite musical acts. It's also a pun on Haruko (using the L-R reversal seen a lot in Japanese to English), who's a character in FLCL. She pilots a vespa. That's the joke. Laughing yet?

CHAPTER 3:

This chapter is meant to be a parody of Half-Life: Full Life Consequences, though I'm not sure how well that came across. I tried to mimic the general style, but I don't think it came across like I intended it: it just reads like a generic boring fic.

The rest of it is sort of an in-joke. I used to do a lot of online text-based RPs when I was younger and even less talented at writing. And no matter what the style of the RP was, fight scenes always seemed to boil down to "Character A uses attack! Character B uses attack! Character C uses attack! etc." on the villains, mostly because none of us could write actual fight scenes. I'm not sure how common this is in play-by-post RPs, but I wanted to homage that.

"The evil thing is at the center of the universe and we have to get there really fast!" Obscurus Lupa said. So they all went really fast to the center of the universe.

"Hahaha I am the end of all things!" The dark thing said as it started to absorb the universe.

"You are bad and we cannot let you eat our home universe!" Obscurus Lupa said.

"She is right! This is where we live and it's nice here!" The Nostalgia Chick said.

"Haha, go ahead and try to stop me!" The dark thing said.

"We will stop them!" the Blistered Thumb legion flew into The dark thing and exploded uselessly.

"Pathetic worms! You humans will need more power to defeat me!" The dark one boasted.

"We'll show you! King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X, use your Giga Shining Chain Rocket Goldion Gekigan Progressive Tachikoma Blazing Sexy Falcon Infinity Gem Buster Prism Hadokamehame PAAAAAAAAWNCH!" Obscurus Lupa screamed. King GetterGaiZinger Kaiser Lagann X shot the dark thing really fast with missiles, lasers, exploding Tachikomas and sexy falcon gems.

"Aaaargh I am hit!" The dark thing said as it was hit, but it was not dead yet.

"Everyone we need to use our most powerful attacks to defeat The dark thing!" Sponby said to the rest of the TGWTG-dan.

"Right! Garlic Sandwich Derpdeedoo Attack!" MegaNanoPhelous launched a gigantic sandwich at The dark thing.

"Ultimate I AM A MAYUN Laser!" Linkara fired a huge burst of magic energy at The dark thing.

"Glorious Solar First Law Violator Of Science!" Insano pulled out a huge dildo and skull-fucked the laws of physics, creating huge amounts of energy which he directed at The dark thing.

The First Law Violator used by Insano comes from the original idea for Sponby Reloaded, where Insano was a recurring character. His main weapon was the First Law Violator, a piston weapon that created free energy and thus violated the first law of thermodynamics because of science or whatever.

"Glorious Solar" is another thing borrowed from Exalted, where a common parody of Solar Caste (one of the playable classes) items is adding the prefix "Glorious Solar" for unnecessary epicness, such as "Glorious Solar Desk".

"Chouginga Big Lipped Alligator Moment!" The Nostalgia Chick temporarily made The dark thing play chess with Cthulhu.

"Chouginga" roughly means "Super-Galaxy", and it's meant as another shout-out to Gurren Lagann, where one of the mecha is called the Chouginga Gurren Lagann (it's a moon-sized spaceship that transforms into a humanoid robot with giant drills on its shoulders. Yeah, Gurren Lagann's weird). So I guess a Super Galaxy-sized BLAM involves chess and Cthulhu.

"Exploitation Ray!" The Cinema Snob beamed Caligula, Night of Horror, Cannibal Holocaust and Monkey with 72 Magic directly into The dark thing's brain.

"RAEG Lightning!" Angry Joe supercharged the giant garlic sandwich as The dark thing took a bite, frying its insides.

"Fire everything!" That Dude In The Suede ordered his twenty Gundams to fire all of their ammo at The dark thing.

"Dark Paw Monkee Phantom Summon!" Dark Paw, empowered by the Monkees and the Phantom of the Opera, appeared and kicked the crap out of The dark thing.

"Dark Paw" comes from Paw's Top 9 Composers video, which is honestly one of my favorite things on TGWTG. I'm a sucker for sprite animation, and it's done extremely well in my opinion.

"Uh... Fire the damn laser!" The Nostalgia Critic ordered. The Death Star fired its laser, destroying Alderaan but completely missing The dark thing.

"Argh I am hit!" The dark thing said. "Except for that last one."

"Well excuuuuse me princess! You try aiming straight with a space station full of stormtroopers!" The Nostalgia Critic said back.

"Now Obscurus Lupa! Finish him off!" the president of the Olympics said. "Use your ultimate running power!"

"Yeah!" Lupa sped up to twenty billion times the speed of light and ran around the universe a lot. She hit The dark thing a lot of times until it was reduced to nothing.

"Nooooooooooo" The dark thing said as it died.

"Hooray! We beat it!" Everyone cheered.

"Congratulation Obscurus Lupa, you won!" The president of the Olympics said.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL" Obscurus Lupa responded.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL" comes from the Garry's Mod adaptation of Full Life Consequences, ending off the failed parody of said fic with a reference to said fic... sorts. And Lupa does occasionally say LOLOLOLOLOL instead of actually laughing, so it's pretty much the only thing that's a bit in character for her (unless you count the romance with Phelous).

CHAPTER 4:

Chapter 4's a bit weird. It starts off as My Immortal, transitions into a revenge fic, and ends with a very depressing cliffhanger that's never referenced again. Besides Chapter 10, this is probably the chapter I least like in Olympics.

Lupa was back at home. She was dressed in a black tank top, a velvet belt, a black leather miniskirt with chains all around, thigh-high black boots, leather biker gloves and Ghost Baby earrings. She had dyed her hair black the night before, and she was thinking of changing her name to Zombie.

"Oh hell no, I am not doing a My Immortal parody." Lupa said. "It's not even a parody! It's just a shoddy ripoff!"

"Shut up!" the narrator said. "You will do what I want. Or do you want me to call Mark Sevi again?"

"I don't fucking care." Lupa said. "I'll kick his ass like I did with the Bronies! And Tommy Wiseau! And Angry Joe!"

For those who weren't there, Mark Sevi is a film director who came across Lupa's review of a film he directed (I don't remember which one it was though). He then proceeded to post a very vicious and insulting blog post which downright slandered her. She handled it very well, and the post is long since taken down, but he posted a half-hearted apology that, to me at least, made him deserve one last thrashing. He takes on the memetic mannerisms of Charlie Sheen because that's what the blog post reminded me of.

Kicking the asses of Tommy Wiseau and Angry Joe happened in her reviews, but kicking the ass of the Bronies was in reference to another controversy with Lupa's review of an MLP movie, where she didn't mention Friendship is Magic at all. Some fans took issue with this, claiming she said she hated the show even though she didn't mention it at all. Again, since I was in all-out revenge fic mode, I figured I'd add that in just for fun - no offense, bronies.

"Fine then!" The narrator said.

Mark Sevi, an old douchebag who's bi-winning, stepped into the room.

"Hey Lupa." Mark Sevi said. "You're an ugly bitch and I'm a rockstar from Mars."

"Shut up Mark Sevi." Lupa said back.

"Imma rape you! But I'll kill you first. And Benzair will join in."

Technically speaking, Love Story's in canon with Olympics, even though Lupa dies in it. I'm not quite sure how that works, but let's chalk it up to alternate universes.

"Get 'im Checkers!" Lupa said. Checkers, her cat, mutated into a giant were-beast and mauled Mark Sevi. Ash wanted some too, but Checkers growled and Ash backed away.

"Nooooo" Mark Sevi said as he died.

"Hahah!" Lupa chuckled.

"SUBTLE!" Phelous said over the internet review cam.

"Get out of here, Phelous." Lupa said.

":(" Phelous said.

"Ok, fine. What do you want to do today, Lupa?" the narrator asked.

"Well, I think Jenny Perfect is kinda hot. I'd love to make out with her..." Lupa said dreamily. "Wait, no! Stop trying to make this into a slashfic, narrator!"

The fourth wall tends to fade in and out during the fic, exemplified here by Lupa protesting to being paired up with Jenny Perfect (which is a pretty weird ship, if you think about it - it's lesbian quasi-incest/masturbation). But the treatment of the fourth wall is also intentional: another huge inspiration of mine is Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series, which sort of does the same thing.

"Awww..." the narrator said. "How about a crack fic? Wanna be paired with Mal? Kratos? Tenchi? Stilt-Man?"

For the record, the Mal here is the one from Firefly, and Kratos is both the one from God of War and the one from Tales of Symphonia at the same time.

"No!" Lupa screamed back. "I don't want to be in this fic anymore!"

"You're stuck here!" the narrator said, laughing evilly.

":(" Lupa said.

And the depressing ending that's never mentioned again is another homage to Hans Von Hozel. I like to think that this chapter is what inspired Lupa to go and kill the in-universe Giga Bob in Chapter 11.

CHAPTER 5:

If Chapter 4's my least-liked Olympics chapter, Chapter 5's definitely my favorite. It's where Olympics transitions from mostly contained one-shot style parodies into an all-out clusterfuck of nonsense and awesome. Lordgenome did sort of the same thing too, but this is where I really found the style that I liked. Sagacious and Sponby are written in this style too, and I love both of those almost as much as I love Olympics.

"That'll be exactly twenty dollars." the mysterious man in the store that wasn't there yesterday said.

"Okay, here!" Lupa gave the man her money, and in exchange, she received a treasure map.

"Nice doin business with you." The man tipped his hat, and Lupa exited the shop. When she turned back to look at it, it was gone.

"Well, that's not good. But I got a treasure map!" Lupa said. She looked at her map, which had a detailed list of instructions to buried treasure. She followed the map exactly... and it led to her yard.

"What? Well this sucks." Lupa said despondently. She wasted twenty bucks on this thing.

Suddenly, a wild TARDIS appeared!

*jingle*
Do you want to give a nickname to the wild TARDIS? (Y/N) N

"Hooray, I caught a TARDIS!" Lupa cheered. "Now for some timey-wimey hijinks." Lupa grabbed her wrist thing from the Reviewaverse Saga and got into the TARDIS.

I don't know how you would capture the TARDIS in a Pokeball. But Lupa catches it here, and The Imprisoned later on, so I guess that's an aspect of her Sue powers.

The TARDIS went two thousand years into the past, ending up around 30 AD.

"Hey, Lupa!" Jesus said. "How's it going?"

Because if you had a TARDIS, wouldn't you go back into the past to see if Jesus was real or not? I rewrote the following section a few times, because I wanted it to be nonsensical and awesome at the same time. I think it worked, because I love how it turned out.

"Pretty good, Jesus!" Lupa said back. "So what's going on?"

"Well, you know, I'm fasting in the desert and trying to resist the temptations of the Devil."

"Cool! Let's beat him up."

"You got it." Jesus said. "Hey, Devil! I'm ready to sell my soul."

"Oh, really?" The Devil manifested in a blaze of flame and smoke.

"Nope!" Lupa said as she punched the Devil in the face.

"Waaaaah!" The Devil started crying. "You broke my nose!"

"Serves you right!" Jesus waved his hand, creating an Ion Cannon in orbit. It fired down on them, hurting the Devil even more, but Jesus protected himself and Lupa with a divine shield.

"You guys are so mean!" the Devil said as he disappeared.

"Yay!" Lupa cheered. "So, Jesus, you wanna come into the future with me?"

"Sorry. I've gotta die for everyone's sins and all that." Jesus said.

"Sorry, I've gotta die for everyone's sins and all that" is hands-down my favorite line of this fic, moreso than "Suddenly, Sponby!" and a scene in Chapter 7 that I'll get to. I've seen it quoted in a few places too, which I'm rather proud of. One of these days though, I've gotta go back and have a proper fight between Lupa, Jesus and the Devil.

"Awww." Lupa said. She got back in her TARDIS, departing for parts unknown.

Originally, Chapter 5 was the end of the fic. I decided to revisit it for some bizarre reason that I can't think of, and since Chapter 5 was the last thing I wrote, the rest of the fic follows in that same general style. I did this a few more times in the fic, which I'll note for posterity.

CHAPTER 6:

Lupa returned to the present, but her house was gone! All that was left was a burning field of tires, surrounded by garbage.

"What happened?" Lupa asked. Suddenly, someone appeared in the TARDIS. It was ... ... ... ... ... Doctor Who!

I'm not a huge fan of Doctor Who, but I know Lupa and Phelous are, so I felt kind of obligated to have a Doctor Who crossover chapter (especially after giving her a TARDIS last chapter). Most of the chapter is nonsense that I would imagine being in a very bad parody of Star Trek or Doctor Who style soft sci-fi with a lot of technobabble... like this fic.

The thing with the Doctor's name changing every line was something I thought was funny at the time; again, a lot of the things I write in are things I think are funny at the time, and since I generally don't go back and edit or re-write chapters, I kept it as is. Plus, it could double as an homage to My Immortal and other poorly-spelled fics where the characters' names change randomly too. Let's go with that.

"COLIN BAKER!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky.

"I'm not Tom Baker." Jon Pertwee said. He ripped off his mask, revealing that he was ... ... ... Christopher Ecceleston!

"Why you do that?" Lupa wondered.

"You've created a time paradox, Lupa! With The Devil defeated, his defeat of the Bliggurons in 15 Million AD never happened, meaning they came back and conquered the world!" Peter Davison exposited.

"Noooooooo!" Lupa screamed while gesturing to the sky.

"Stop that!" Sylvester McCoy said.

"Ok" Lupa said.

Thanks to a dramatic reader on Youtube named Manwithoutabody, I always mentally pronounce the word "Ok" as "Ock", rather than as "Okay". I think it makes it funnier that way, but as we have already established, I have a terrible sense of humour, so take that as you will.

"Now, we have to stop the release of the Herpaderp Virus in 1200 AD. If we stop that, the Gurgletrons will be able to fight off the Bliggurons and prevent the invasion."

"I didn't understand any of those words." Lupa said. "Are you sure that's going to work?"

"Trust me, I'm David Tennant." Rowan Atkinson said. "Now, let's go!"

And they go back to Arthurian England for some reason, even though the actual historical validity of the Arthur mythos is very heavily disputed. Though I'm pretty sure Doctor Who's crossed over with Sherlock Holmes at least once (I did a bit of research when I was writing The Eternity Dodecatrilogy), so maybe the TARDIS can access fictional universes too.

So Lupa and the Doctor got into the TARDIS and went back to 1200 AD. When they got out of the TARDIS, they saw King Arthur getting a sword from the Lady of the Lake.

"King Arthur! Can you direct us to the carrier of the Herpaderp virus?" Steven Moffat asked.

"Who art thou?" King Arthur asked. He pointed his sword, which was inexplicably a gold-colored katana, at them.

"I'm Obscurus Lupa! I saved the universe!" Lupa said proudly.

"Still your tongue, wench! Women have no place in a talk between men!"

"I don't like your attitude!" Lupa said. She punched King Arthur into the sun, but he came back with the Knights of Round.

"Prepare to get Quadra Magic W-Summoned, bitch!" the Knights of Round said.

"Don't worry, I have an idea!" Hugh Laurie said. He pointed his sonic screwdriver at the Knights of Round materia, which disabled them all.

"Noooooo~" the Knights of Round said as they died.

"But know this, Cunning Man! The carrier of the Herpaderp virus is... ... ... ...The Master!" King Arthur said as he faded away.

"Not The Master!" the Doctor said. "We can't get to The Master! His stronghold is hidden between the 10th and 11th dimension, and the TARDIS isn't set up for perception teleportation! We can't stop the Herpaderpians now!"

Again, my limited knowledge of Doctor Who is... limited, but I'm pretty sure that The Master tends to be a villain who manipulates from behind the scenes for some nefarious scheme of some sort. Not that I could tell you what his plan is here, and how something called the "Herpaderp virus" factors into it.

"Uh, couldn't we just go to 15 Million AD and beat up the whatever-ians instead of The Devil?" Lupa asked. "Or, you know, we could just time travel back to The Master's birth and kill him before he becomes a threat. That's always an option."

"TIME! DOESN'T! WORK THAT WAY!" William Troughton said.

It's been pointed out a lot, but really, if you have a time machine, why not just go back to before the main conflict started and stop it before it happens? I guess it depends on the particular rules of time travel in your universe (set-in-stone or able to be changed, if the latter, whether it creates a time paradox or alternate timeline/universe), but that's why, when I write a time machine in my own work, it's in Olympics (where there's no fourth wall and continuity doesn't really matter).

"I know who can help us! JewWario!" Lupa clapped her hands and summoned J-Dub. "JewWario, can you get us to The Master's stronghold?"

I like JewWario, and I felt like writing him in somewhere (he didn't get any screentime in Chapter 3, even though he was presumably among the Blistered Thumb regiment... so he would've died. Huh.), but he's really just a superfluous.... CAMEO here! See what I did there? Huh?

"Uh, sure!" JewWario said. "But first I have to HENSHIN!" Five minutes of transformation later, he shifted into Kamen Rider Yanki-J Gold Form. He Rider Kicked the time dimensions, bending space and time and opening a portal to The Master's stronghold.

"The portal will only be stable for .000001 seconds!" Kamen Rider Yanki-J said.

"Okay, let's go, Paul McGann!" Lupa said. They ran through the portal. They were greeted by a strange man with a weird gait.

"I aM ToRgO. I TaKe CaRe Of ThE pLaCe WhIlE tHe MaStEr Is AwAy." Torgo said.

"Wrong Master!" Matt Baker said, mugging to the camera while wah-wah horns played.

"The Doctor doesn't do those things! You're The Master!" Lupa said.

"Curses! Foiled again!" The Master said, throwing off his disguise. "And my portable chameleon circuit was working so well! Fucking Torgo, you ruined my plan!"

And again, The Doctor actually being The Master is a twist that, in hindsight, makes no logical sense. Why would he help Lupa along until the end, where he reveals himself for no reason except he's evil? It's poor writing, I tell ya.

"SoRrY mAsTeR." Torgo said.

"And I told you not to call me that outside of the bedroom!" The Master said. "Now, I'm going to trap you here for the rest of time!" He opened another portal and escaped through it, leaving Torgo and Lupa trapped between the 10th and 11th dimensions.

"How do we get out of here?" Lupa asked.

"I DoN't KnOw." Torgo said. "BuT i ThInK hE dOeS." He pointed to a gigantic mass of tentacles and glowing spheres.

"HRRRGHRGLGHFGKEL." the abomination said. It pointed one of its tentacles and opened a portal, which Lupa escaped through.

"WhAt AbOuT tOrGo?" Torgo asked. He was consumed by the abomination for his insolence.

Lupa caught up with The Master and belted him in the face. Kamen Rider Yanki-J Ultra Shining Gold Form Rider Kicked him for good measure.

"Argh! I am defeated!" The Master said. He warped away.

"But what about the time paradox?" Lupa asked.

"Don't worry, Lupa. I fixed everything!" the real Doctor said. They all had a good laugh, and went for coffee milkshakes.

I can't remember where "coffee milkshakes" came up, but I'm pretty sure it's tangentially related to TGWTG in some way. Maybe it was on a Twitter feed somewhere?
