When last we had seen our hero - he had just revealed the sad history between himself and Josh Eagles, as well as the diminishing grip of reality that is threatening to send the former BirdBoy into the wings of the psych ward.... Now the story continues...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We begin with Reck Maverick searching the halls of the Ameristar Casino in search of fellow POW performer Fire - She still had Maverick's Ninja Eye-Liner and he kinda wanted it back. You know, for a Ninja - Reck was never to good a finding people. Maybe because in the back of his mind, he was too focused on defending himself from a gang beat-down from Murderous Entertainment... Soon Reck spots Flap Flanagan - Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. Reck goes up and greets his brother.
Reck Maverick - Hey B.F.A.M. What's going up?
Flap Flanagan - Oh hey homeslice - not too much, just chillin'
Reck Maverick - Hey have you seen Fire around?
Flap Flanagan - hm... no but maybe ALF has.
Reck Maverick looks around and notices that the little alien bastard isn't around.
Reck Maverick - Hey, where IS the little bugger anyway?
Flap Flanagan - Ladies' locker room.
Reck Maverick - Oh I see... *Double Take* wait... WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
Flap Flanagan - Ladies'.... Locker.... ROOM!
Reck looks in the direction that Flap was standing and indeed the duo were standing in front of the women's dressing area. Reck looks at Flap with a "You're a futting pervert" look and Flap just shrugs and grins.
Flap Flanagan - So I hear that your wrestlin' Joshy boy this week.
Reck Maverick - Indeed, my former sidekick - the most rotten of my #2's returns to get his revenge about some trumped up charge of embezzlement. I guess the only way to get back on track in my battle against the vile evil of POW is to give Josh a slap on the wrist and tell him to sit in the corner.
Flap Flanagan - *Between gulps of Dr. Pepper* Sounds like a plan brother.
Reck Maverick - *Chuckling softly* Hey do remember when Beagles joined our group.
Flap Flanagan - Nah, I can't seem to remember that day. Why don't you tell it?
Reck Maverick - Ok sure... It all start many many moons ago....
CUE CHEESY FLASHBACK EFFECTS!
We travel back in time to when the Flanchise Heroes were children. We are at a bus stop. We see a young Reck Maverick with his scarf wrapped around his face and swinging around a stick. A few feet away we see a young Flap Flanagan sitting on the ground reading a book - closer inspection reveals it is ADVANCED CALCULUS!
Reck Maverick is practicing some hand gestures of the Kuji-in - a hidden art of Ninja Magic as younger boy sucking a Popsicle enters the seen and tugs on Maverick's shirt sleeve. The future Ninja Master turns his attention to this kid.
Young Reck - May I help you, citizen?
Young Josh - Whatcha doin'?
Young Reck - I am learning the secrets of the Ninja - to tell you anymore would surely signalize your demise from this realm.
At this point Young Flap looks up from his book and talks to his little brother.
Young Flap - How many times must I tell you Reid - Ninja's no longer exist. They died out 800 years ago. Your wasting your time - Why don't do something productive - like you homework.
Young Reck - Nun-uh! I heard that there are Ninja's in California! When I grow up I'm going to be the greatest Ninja EVER then what are you going to say!
Young Flap - What would I say? I would say that your perception of logical reasoning has weakened and that you should be locked away in an asylum!
Young Reck - .....
At this point Young Josh voices his opinion - a trait that he would use A LOT in the upcoming years.
Young Josh - He is rubber and you are glue... what ever you say bounces off him and sticks to you!
Young Reck gives the mouthy little bastard a soon to be trademark thumbs up gesture as Young Flap snaps his book shut and stands up.
Young Flap - Oh Haw Haw, very clever kid... Ok what do YOU want to be when you grow up?
Young Josh - *Beaming* I wanna be a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER!
A Bemused look stretches across Young Flap's and it quickly busts into a full blown laughter.
Young Flap - HAHAHAHAHA! You... a Pro Wrestler? That's rich! Look at you runt, you couldn't beat a pillow and you want to be the next George Duke? You stupid dork - That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard next to Reid's rendition of Achy Breaky Heart! You are pathetic! I could toss you from here to Calgary right now!
Young Josh is beginning to tear up and as always here comes Reck Maverick to save the day. Young tries to restrain his older brother.
Young Reck - Hey Flap... come on! Leave him alone.
Flap pushes the Young Ninja to the ground.
Young Flap - Didn't I tell you to NEVER call me 'Flap!' Now buzz off.
Young Flap is now pushing Young Josh around as Young Reck Kips up to his feet. Young Reck takes a moment to think of how to stop his rampaging brother - only one way would do it, but he hadn't practiced it enough yet... unfortunately time was short so Reck adjusts his body weight...
Young Reck - SHADOW.... DANCER!
Young Reck hits his brother with a move so incredible, so awesome it defies description. Flap is now KO'ed on the ground as Young Reck helps Young Josh to his feet.
Young Reck - You OK Kid?
Young Josh - Yeah... I'm fine.
Young Reck then goes and checks up on his Brother - who is coming back to consciousness.
Young Reck - You OK?
Young Flap - *Shaking his head* Whoa Homie, what the futt happened?
Young Reck - You... um, slipped and bumped your head.
Young Flap - Me noggin hurts.... WHEEEEEEE!
Young Reck walks back over to Young Josh.
Young Reck - You better book Kid, before Flap really flips out.
Young Josh nods and begins to run away but he stops and looks back to the Hero of the Story.
Young Josh - Hey what's your name?
Young Reck - Reid Flanagan, but the cool kids call me... *Hits a killer ninja pose* Reck Maverick!
Back to Current Day - Ameristar Casino
Reck Maverick - And Josh has been riding our coattails since that day.
Flap Flanagan - *Thinking* Wait... me was smart and you made me dumb?!
Maverick slowly nods.
Flap Flanagan - YOU DIE TODAY NINJA MAN!
Flap is about to punch Reck Maverick but the Ninja notices something out of the corner of his eye and pulls Flap to the floor as ALF flies over head and crashes into a wall.
Jayde - *Dusting off her hands*AND STAY OUT!
Fire - Or you WILL die!
Reck Maverick - Hey Fire! Can I have my eye liner back!?
Fire whips the eyeliner at The Atomic Ninja will the intent to bean him in the head with it but Reck uses his elite Ninja skills to catch it. He then Throws he a thumbs up as the door slams shut. Now Flap is helping ALF up.
Flap Flanagan - You alright ALFy?
ALF - Nothing a little Cat-a-Tonic can't cure...
Reck Maverick - NINJA... VANISH!
ALF and Flap turn around to see that Reck Maverick had disappeared in a cloud of ninja smoke.
Flap Flanagan - Son of a...
