More GSAF Troubles
Super C: (narrating) Super C here. When people ask me which one bothers me most between the AIRAF, the GSAF, or the F5 Terror Force, the GSAF is the correct answer. The F5 Terror Force are the most dangerous because they're actual supervillains, but the GSAF are the ones that do the most disgusting things to all those who disobey them. Per our own Code of Conduct, I cannot speak about them, and I do not allow my recruits and our allies to speak about it either, although we do sympathize with those that were once in the GSAF but defected to our side, because they had undergone many experiences that traumatized them. (Some prime examples of this include Bob Saunders and Marshall Stephenson, the latter of which serves on Leo's cabinet.)
Leo the Patriotic Lion: (narrating) I am thankful for them all, though; I couldn't do what I do without them.
Super C: (narrating) This journal entry primarly highlights their latest pathetic attempt to the rule the world with an iron fist, although it also has a pretty embarrassing moment for them. Viewer discretion is advised here. If your stomachs or brains can't handle this, then look away now! Turn off your smartphone, computer, or tablet, purify your mind of everything, and go for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. Trust me. You'll be glad you did.
We'll include a few other highlights, though.
*Later, GSG 9 (German SWAT) police investigate an arson attack on a Tesla factory in Berlin.*
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* About time our enemies showed up.
GSG 9 Police 1: *In German* All of Berlin is under lockdown, and the GSAF has claimed attack on this facility.
GSG 9 Police 2: *In German* No one is hurt, thank goodness, but the facility is severely damaged.
GSG 9 Police 3: *In German* The video showed a combination of GSAF terrorists and cyborgs deploying C4 bombs throughout the facility. The facility was still under construction, nearly towards grand opening; then this happened!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* This is going to be a long day.
Col. Drago: (Large and muscular GSAF male grey raccoon with long white hair and blue eyes.) *In German* You think? I'll make it short for you so time will be on our side!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* An American communist terrorist! What are you doing here?
Col. Drago: *In German* That is none of your concern. Leo has turned the Rio Grande into a DMZ zone with Mexico that made invading Texas from Mexico impossible! But that Mexican-American border can only last so long. I have plenty of cyborgs to put your German engineering to the test.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Leo's German parallel is also our chancellor. He has been ready for your arrival.
Col. Drago: *In German* I see him as almost no different from Adolf Hitler!
Luitpold the Germanic Lion: (narrating in English) You don't know how offended I was by that statement. I'm nothing like Adolf Hitler!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Luitpold does not invade other countries to enslave the Jews. You know nothing of history, just like the rest of those filthy communist freaks. Your type brought the eastern side of our glorious nation into ruins, and luckily our reunification allowed us to rebuild our glory there.
Col. Drago: *In German* Not to worry. All of Germany shall fall under us instead! We will finish where Stalin left off!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* The unity of our people through the legacy of Charlemagne remains unbroken by evil.
*As the GSAF cyborgs land from above, German soldiers show up en masse.*
Col. Drago: *In German* I will make Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator series look like child's play! Here comes sci-fi horror!
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he readies his shield and sword.* He is from Austria, you idiot!
German Soldier 1: *In German as he readies his HK416 assault rifle.* Get ready to meet modern German steel!
German Soldier 2: *In German* All units fire at will!
GSAF Cyborg 1: *In German* GSG 9 detected.
GSAF Cyborg 2: *In German* GSG 9 acquiring targets.
GSAF Cyborg 3: *In German* Incoming G-52 backup.
*Lightning strikes next to Warlord Wolf, and suddenly the Majornator appears.*
Majornator: *In German* You won't fight alone, Warlord Wolf. *In German to Col. Drago.* Send in everything you got against us!
Col. Drago: *In German* Certainly!
*Some GSAF terrorists show up.*
GSAF Terrorist 1: *In German* Get ready for the Fall of Berlin, Part 2!
GSAF Terrorist 2: *In German* And this time, we will have all of Germany and finish off where Stalin left off!
GSAF Terrorist 3: *In German* You were a fool to leave your country open for this.
GSAF Terrorist 4: *In German* So your chancellor is better than Hitler because he has a machine gun with him? We'll see about that!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
*Two GSAF officers sneak in to a boutique hotel, ironically called The Socialist, to plan a terror attack in Denmark.*
GSAF Terrorist 1: I hear this is the hotel where married Danish couples go to have-
GSAF Terrorist 2: You mean a certain action that people call the procreation of life?
GSAF Terrorist 1: No, no, no; you pervert! What I mean is that they go there to have vacations in small but cozy hotels during this cold weather. But what's there to do in Denmark these days? It's boring! So cloudy and cold...
*Alpha and three male civilians enter the hotel to chill at a bar.*
Alpha: *In Danish* Hot chocolat,e please!
Bartender: *In Danish* One hot chocolate coming right up for you. *He serves Alpha his hot chocolate.* Enjoy!
Civilian 1: *In Danish* Let's record this for the internet. My phone is ready. You, put the sparkler stick in your mouth. And you, get the lighter ready.
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Sure! *He puts a sparkler stick in his mouth as Civilian 1 chuckles.*
Civilian 3: *In Danish to the bartender.* Give me some aquavit, please.
Bartender: *In Danish* Knock yourself out and enjoy. *He gives Civilian 3 a small glass of aquavit.*
Civilian 3: *In Danish* Lets light this one up! Time to show the world what we got since the bored Chinese wants to show off their talents on the internet with their short videos. *He drinks the aquavit but holds the alcohol in his mouth before he takes out a lighter and turns it on when the bartender is not looking. However, he accidentally sneezes the alcohol out spewing the aquavit onto the lighter, causing a huge flamethrower that sets the two GSAF terrorists on fire by accident despite being able to light the sparkler successfully. Everybody, of course, panics.* ACHOOOO!
Alpha: *In Danish as he spews hot chocolate everywhere from his mouth as he notices the two GSAF terrorists are running around while on fire.* WHAT THE HECK?!
Civilian 2: *In Danish as he accidentally throws his sparkler at one of the GSAF terrorists, making the flames on them worse, as he continues to panic.* Fire extinguisher! Help! Oh, man; we gotta go!
GSAF Terrorist 1: *He runs around as he is on fire.* HEEEEEEEEEELP! I'M BURNING ALIVE!
GSAF Terrorist 2: *He runs around as he is on fire.* I AM LITERALLY THE BURNING MAN! SOMEONE HELP US!
*The ceiling fire sprinklers go off as everybody in the lobby evacuates as the two terrorists eventually burn to death. The ambulance and police arrives to cordon off the scene.*
Civilian 1: *In Danish* What did you do?!
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I had allergies and then this happened! Oh. no! Do we have to explain how this happened to Lenarth? He's going to think we're idiots for this!
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Liu has yet to blow up on Chinese internet idiots for doing stupid things, so I think we'll be okay.
Alpha: *In Danish* I was trying to enjoy my hot chocolate in peace before contemplating what I want to do in The Socialist! You ruined my vacation plans here in Copenhagen!
Civilian 3: *In Danish* This was a bad idea. Lenarth is going to either condemn me or get my priest to excommunicate me, isn't he?
Alpha: *In Danish* No, I doubt it. But you are going to have to live with the fact that you did this and you're going to spend a lot of time begging for forgiveness from your priest and God.
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I'd rather be in jail than to live like this with everybody knowing that I killed someone with a stupid idea.
Alpha: *In Danish* Based on this, no you will not be jailed, since this is considered an accident. So living with this is enough punishment as it is now that you will be telling others not to make the same mistake you did. What exactly were you trying to do?
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I was trying to light his sparkler by spitting alcohol through my lighter on it. You know, firebreathing. Some Chinese martial arts practitioners still do that to this day with rice wine and I wanted to do my take with it for the internet because we thought it was cool.
Civilian 2: *In Danish* The world is getting so much better and I thought it would be a good idea to do this.
Civilian 1: *In Danish* And I wanted to record this for the internet, too, but now I'm worried Lenarth is going to harshly judge us and portray us as idiots to everybody in public.
Alpha: *In Danish* If only you knew not to take peace for granted now you made a mess. *He sees Lenarth coming.* Oh...
Civilian 3: *In Danish* We are so screwed...
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Just tell him we were trying to make a chemistry lesson video which accidentally backfired.
Civilian 1: *In Danish* Good idea. Man that was bad.
Civilian 4: *In Danish* Huh? What's going on?
Civilian 5: *In Danish* Whatever just happened was really bad. We rarely have cases like this.
Civilian 4's Daughter: *In Danish* This vacation blows! I want to go home!
Civilian 4's Son: *In Danish* I wish we never had to travel again! What will I tell the kids at school?
*Germany*
*Luitpold shows up.*
Luitpold: *in German* Take no prisoners! Do not let the enemy get away, one way or another!
*The British G-52s, who had been on patrol, also come to assist, as evident by Warwolf's supersonic howl. The howl makes the GSAF terrorists cringe and cover their ears, but because it's his howl and not one of the parallels letting out a roar, it's not as piercing to the ears as a roar would be.*
Warwolf: We're your extra backup!
Captain C: And it's time for you to chill!
*Captain C and the Avenger Rat freeze some of the terrorists with their powers.*
Avenger Rat: What's the matter? Do I have bad breath?
*Denmark*
*Lenarth the Naval Lion approaches the scene, but doesn't lose his temper. However, he is very cross with the public.*
Lenarth: *in Danish* The G-52 app informs me of scenes like this, so no point in lying to me. I know what you did! If you were trying out for the circus, they'd make you a clown instead!
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *He bashes against a GSAF cyborg with his shield.* There's so many of these cyborgs!
Luitpold: *In German* Fire in the hole! *He throws a grenade at a group of cyborgs and blows them up. He then fires his MG4 machine gun at the cyborgs to destroy them.*
German Soldier 1: *In German* Reinforcements have arrived!
German Soldier 2: *In German* Don't let him get away!
Col. Drago: *He runs for cover.* They're coming in fast!
Majornator: Why are you running? You said you will send everything you got against us! *He uses his mace to launch lightning arcs against several cyborgs to destroy them.* I'm just barely getting warmed up here!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Civilian 1: *In Danish* I've never seen you this angry before.
Alpha: *In Danish* What did you three stooges expect? Did you think any of this was cool or funny?
*The three civilians remain silent.*
Civilian 5: *In Danish* Whatever they did, must've been really bad. It takes a lot to make Lenarth mad these days.
Danger Drummer: *In Danish as he shows up.* So you wanted to be stupid for your 15 minutes of fame. I hope it was worth it because now you will live with this for the rest of your lives.
Alpha: *In Danish to Lenarth.* Any more comments? I think they understood the point.
Civilian 3: *In Danish* Chinese martial artists breathe fire with rice wine-
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* Does not mean you should! Just because you can does not mean you should!
Rasmus: *In Danish as he shows up.* So it was you three! God gave you the gift to think and make decisions, so you use that for this?! I almost thought this was a terrorist attack!
Civilian 6: *In Danish* Time to wear the clown shoes, you stooges! Don't forget the clown makeup and red noses, too!
Civilian 4: *In Danish* Your act killed two people! I hope that was worth all of this!
*Beijing, China*
*Politicians introduce a bill to Liu that requires people to post warning messages before performing dangerous stunts in videos.*
Politician 1: *In Chinese* If people are going to do stupid things like this, even rice wine firebreathing, which has been going on over thousands of years, they should be required to put a warning message in their videos first before they go online!
Politician 2: *In Chinese* If it's dangerous, it should not be tried at home and only professionals should do it!
Politician 3: *In Chinese* Sign the Dangerous Stunts Act into law now before we doom the world!
Politician 4: *In Chinese* So some bored Danish Viking men want to copy what we've been doing over thousands of years just for fun? There's a reason why in China, only certain martial artists are allowed to do this! They're pros at it and know what they're doing!
Politician 5: *In Chinese* The martial artists who do this are typically practitioners of the drunken fist! Liu knows these practitioners well and knows them well enough to know only they are professionals at mastering the art of firebreathing with rice wine in martial arts!
*Berlin, Germany*
*Firefox has his rocket launcher, so he uses that as well.*
Firefox: Be off with you!
*Captain C's next freeze attack makes it impossible for Col. Drago to escape.*
Captain C: You've got nowhere to run now!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Lenarth: *in Danish* I think we said all that needs to be said. I wish there was makeup here; then we could actually make them look like clowns.
*Beijing, China*
*Liu the Confucian Lion signs the bill with no hesitation.*
Liu: *in Chinese* And for the record, I never do the fire-breathing act myself. If anybody I knew ever did that, it was because they were a dragon.
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: Excellent shot there Firefox!
*Eventually, the GSAF cyborgs are eliminated as the remaining terrorists are arrested.*
Col. Drago: I can't move my body! It's cold...
Warlord Wolf: You got decent body armor though. You'll be fine.
Col. Drago: This won't be the last time we'll strike Europe!
*The police arrests the GSAF terrorists.*
GSG 9 Police 1: *In German* We got them!
GSG 9 Police 2: *In German* The British got excellent G-52s to help us out on this!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Alpha: *In Danish* You gave me an idea. Danger Drummer, can you use your marching band to lead these three idiots to a nearby town and have the locals dress them up as clowns before we take pictures of them to post on social media?
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* That might be a little much. I think them confessing to their priests about this is enough punishment as it is. If they try to conceal or lie about this, they'll find out. This is on the news already so everybody knows anyways.
Alpha: *In Danish* Fair enough.
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Thank heaven that's over!
*Denmark*
Lenarth: *in Danish* No need to put them in makeup. *to Danger Drummer* Do us a favor, though, and strike up the band. Your music will get everybody's minds off this tragic accident. I hope.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Mission accomplished! Over and out!
*Denmark*
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* Yes, sir! *He does so.*
Lenarth: (narrating in English) And the moral of that story is that you should always think it through before you speak or act. God gave you people a brain for a reason. Use it!
Anyways, that's out of the way now. Let's move on. In the U.S., the state of Texas was expected to be flooded with tourists eager to watch the next solar eclipse. However, the C.I.D.F. sent extra security to help, even though some claim they overreacted because the sheer number of soldiers they sent outnumbered the tourists almost 3 to 1. It (unintentionally) made some of the tourists and their children ashamed to even be there. Tourism exploded all over the world when CNG ceased to exist in 2022, but the aftereffects of it, which the C.I.D.F. claimed would take tens of thousands of years to wear off (assuming the Lord lets the Earth live that long), are now ensuring tourism is dropping to almost nothing just as alarmingly. If any game show contestants in my home nation of Denmark won a trip, they turned the trip down 9 times out of 10 and prayed they could take a cash substitute instead.
*Later, everything returns to normal but several counties throughout Texas declare state of emergency as they continue to receive data of more people planning to visit just for the solar eclipse. Austin, Texas' state capital, declares state of emergency as both the mayor and governor requests additional reinforcements from the C.I.D.F.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Politician 1: This is worse than I thought! We got way more than 5 million people wanting to visit us for the solar eclipse! Our city has only so much space to go around and we will have the most visitors.
Politician 2: We contacted Super C about this situation and the C.I.D.F. are sending everybody they can to help us prepare for the enormous crowds.
Politician 3: *To Wrangler Wolf.* We need you in our capital more than ever! I'm sorry but you and Cody are going to be assigned to this city instead. Of all the cities getting visitors for this, this city will get the most. *He shows Wrangler Wolf his tablet.* Our police department alone does not have the resources to handle this huge upcoming crowd.
Wrangler Wolf: Whoa! That's way too many people! Not even the city of Houston can handle that!
Politician 3: We have to do everything we can to prevent a crowd crush next month. Our hotels are booked to ceilings, people are coming in the masses, our businesses will be full to the brim, it's going to be complete chaos.
Politician 4: Coordinating all of this is extremely resource intensive. The Texas National Guard has all hands-on deck and even that, we are still getting National Guard and other reserves units from other states coming here to help us out. It's really bad.
Politician 5: This makes Superbowl crowds look tiny in comparison. We were not expecting a record crowd to be coming here in a few weeks.
*Mayor Watson speaks to the press about this issue.*
Watson: We are doing everything we can to prepare for this event for the solar eclipse. We welcome our troops from outside of Texas to assist us in our preparation to coordinate this event peacefully.
Abbott: *He speaks to Super C and Prius from his office as he sends in data to prove that large amounts of people will be visiting certain cities and towns for the solar eclipse.* At this time, we are going to need everything you can send us to help us coordinate this event peacefully as we now have a very high risk for crowd crushes. What happened in Houston during Astroworld is too much. We cannot have anymore of this!
*Washington D.C., USA*
Zax: Don't worry, Governor! We are sending everything we can to help you prepare for this!
Juno: We should have plenty of C.I.D.F. agents to help these cities prepare for this.
Marshall: It looks like these cities, especially Austin, are holding solar eclipse festivals, which will draw in even bigger crowds.
Zax: Meaning larger risks for crowd crushes. Austin is going to get a record number of visitors to the point that their police department alone are not going to be able to handle this themselves.
Jack: Houston's got a lot of people alone, and many of them will be visiting Austin for the solar eclipse.
Zachary: Other states are sending in their National Guard troops to help Texas prepare for this. That's really bad if the crowd does not cooperate. The crowds should be able to cooperate, though.
Zax: We got this.
Frank C.: I have an idea!
Zax: Ah?
Frank C.: *To the Marching Wonder (you).* Can you lead your bands to perform in Austin to help keep the crowd behaved in the next few weeks?
*Mexico City, Mexico*
*The government issues a travel warning against visiting select cities in Texas due to the upcoming solar eclipse hosting events.*
Politician 1: *In Spanish* At this time, we advise against visiting the American state of Texas, especially Austin, their state capital, during this time to April due to high risks of crowd crushes.
Politician 2: *In Spanish* If you must visit those places in Texas, please plan ahead right now! Otherwise, stay out of that part of America for the sake of your safety!
Politician 3: *In Spanish* There will be plenty of American soldiers throughout those places so if you go, they will ask for ID before you visit them! Just because you're cleared by American border patrol and customs does not mean these soldiers will know. Their job is to keep unnecessary large amounts of visitors from coming in since these cities and towns require that visitors book their hotels before they are allowed to visit. If you do not book your hotels in those cities and towns, you will not be allowed to visit them.
Jon: *In Spanish to Leandro.* It sounds like these Americans really know how to throw parties.
Victoria: *In Spanish* They also take safety extremely seriously as well.
*Washington, D.C., USA*
Marching Wonder: *me, to Frank C.* I would be delighted to do so, Frank. After all, music is magic! The powerful effects our music has on these people (especially when you consider the fact that CNG gave all musical G-52s and allies the same powers; it did the same to you because you're a drum major) will be enough to keep them in line.
*Austin, TX, USA*
*The fact that there are now 3.5 million C.I.D.F. soldiers in Austin leads to some joking that the C.I.D.F. are contributing to the crowd crush risks. Meanwhile, another of Abbot's helpers contacts Cody.*
Cody's voice: Why am I not surprised? We'll be there, sir.
*G-52 HQ*
Prius: *to Abbot* No need to worry; I have 3.5 million troops in the C.I.D.F. down there as we speak.
Super C: We also apologize if it discourages tourism. Wildcat City's tourism numbers have dropped recently because of the sheer amount of C.I.D.F. troops patrolling it, and as a result, people are only vacationing here as a way of punishing their kids for their bad behavior. Not the first time that's happened to us, but it is insulting.
*Washington D.C.*
Frank C.: Whatever works!
*I, the Marching Wonder, then play a drum cadence on my military field drum, and Frank C. and I exchange salutes.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Abbott: I would rather have tourism discouraged here than to risk a crowd crush, but I understand why you feel insulted.
*Later, Leo and his administration arrives in Austin to help out as the tourism crowd starts to pick up quickly.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Zax: It's more people than I expected and it's not even April already.
Wrangler Wolf: 3.5 million C.I.D.F. agents is good here. They alone can spread throughout Travis County since this entire county, not just Austin, is booked.
Juno: This is becoming like New York City crowded.
Jack: Austin is America's fastest growing state capital.
Zax: As well as the most fancy and swanky city in Texas.
Juno: It's Austin; of course they like to be weird like this.
Marshall: I've never seen so many people here before.
Jack: They're bringing kids here, too. Hopefully there's enough solar eclipse glasses for everybody.
Zax: There should be.
Abbott: Thank you for all the help you've sent here. We are expecting record-breaking numbers of visitors soon. You can already see where this is going now. It may not be as crowded as New York City, but it is quickly getting there.
Zax: It's looking like Los Angeles here at least. *To Wrangler Wolf.* I see your governor wanted you and Cody here instead. I'm thinking you two are staying in some sweet downtown hotel here for your jobs.
Wrangler Wolf: Y'all could say that. But a job is a job and this is a job that needs to be done.
Zax: Yes, sir! From the looks of things, Austin is prepared well enough to prevent making a crowd crush mistake like they did in Seoul during Halloween not too long ago.
Zachary: Wait, do we have enough room for the Marching Wonder's parades for the city's solar eclipse festival?
Zax: Of course!
*We hear my whistle blow.*
Leo: And here they come now!
*All three marching bands I lead, even the one with bagpipes, arrive. The tourists arrive as well, but the music we are playing distracts them from doing anything else. Even little kids are behaving themselves.*
Zax: There's more people than I thought!
Mechayote: If they're behaving, that's what matters the most.
Juno: The festival isn't held until April 8, and already Austin is getting packed.
Mechayote: Because for big events like this, people like to plan ahead of time by booking ahead of time so they can enjoy the cities they visit before the big day comes. Remember, the tourists going home will be just as much as a challenge of preparing for them coming in.
Zax: I hope this isn't a logistical nightmare.
Jack: Everything's going to be all right as long as everybody behaves.
Leo: The music will help with that.
Tom the Patriotic Tiger: Some of them seem embarrassed to even be here unless my eyes are deceiving me.
Super C: It's probably because they know the C.I.D.F. is keeping an eye on them. But that does not mean we're adapting the mindset of Big Brother. No. The Code of Conduct in both organizations forbids that. All we're doing is holding them accountable for their actions.
*Tom's comment does not tell a lie; at least two kids are crying, although they don't say a word. The looks on their faces do say, "I want to go home!"*
Leo: They'll get over it.
Zax: Nothing to be embarrassed about. If people want to see the solar eclipse, why not? *His phone beeps and looks at it.* Wow. Dallas is getting lots of visitors for this as well.
Juno: Dallas has a lot of people anyways complete with lots of stuff to do there.
Zax: Dallas is the embodiment of the modern American Dream: American corporations headquartered there for the most part, an emerging tech center, a city where most American anime voice actors live in, a city where most American internet stars live in, a city where jobs are always booming, a city where the economy is resilient even in the worst times, and to top it off, the largest furry events and convention in Texas being in Dallas for the most part.
Juno: So if the C.I.D.F. cannot adopt the mindset of Big Brother, then how do they handle China's domestic policies and laws?
Jack: Common sense morality and the Overton Window.
Zax: I call that the range of acceptability. Oh, hey! Remember the concept of fast, good, and cheap?
Jack: What about it?
Zax: I remember what it's actually called now; the triple constraint.
Jack: Also known as the iron triangle, project triangle, or project management triangle. They teach that to children a lot these days.
Cripto: (narrating) I first learned about this when somebody used it to explain to me their thoughts on fast food. If you want good cheap food, then you can't have it given to you fast. If you want fast cheap food, don't expect it to be good. If you want good fast food, it won't be cheap. You can have two of the three, but you'll never have all three.
Zax: Every choice has a sacrifice, and we can only choose the best ones out there. Or as I put it sometimes, you can enjoy today and pay tomorrow or pay today and enjoy tomorrow.
Juno: I like that quote! Some of us, especially the G-52s, have our own quotes. With Chuong, it's the following: "In heaven, there is order, but in hell there is pleasure." And for you, it's "Enjoy today and pay tomorrow or pay today and enjoy tomorrow."
Luong the Hidden Lion: (narrating in English) And many of us would rather have order than pleasure.
Zax: How about "Pay today and enjoy tomorrow?"
Juno: Much better!
Jack: Chuong's quote describes Las Vegas and Macao because they're world-class casino cities.
Wrangler Wolf: Macao is the devil's palace because all that overindulgence may seem fun, but there's a price to pay, especially the fact that it's the gambling capital of this world. Beautiful city in the tropics, if you can afford the fun and indulgence there.
Juno: And unlike Las Vegas, Macao has pachinko parlors, too.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: With lots of Chinese C.I.D.F. soldiers patrolling the city. Yes, Nightwatch and I got here early, too, so we don't have to deal with the crowd surge in April, but it's picking up heat here.
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: And I have to admit that I am extremely disappointed in the Dallas Cowboys, more so in their team management than their performance. The Houston Texans have a lot of cap space and their linemen are incredibly ferocious. The Texans are ready to tear the NFL apart next season. Don't get me started on bad fan behavior with the Dallas Cowboys either; I was incredibly disgusted witnessing their antics in Dallas, because I live there and I had to hear profanity and vandalism day in and day out, complete with TV sets being thrown out of windows. The Texans actually did something, unlike the Cowboys, and now, they earned every right to be called Texas' team.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: You should meet Toro; he's funny! He even uses videos of bad fan behavior to teach people how not to behave during sports.
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: He's an amazing mascot for the Texans. However, I was rooting for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, and amazingly, they did. In the end, more power to the Texans for getting themselves together and proving themselves to be better than the Cowboys. They earned that privilege!
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: The Texans got a whole new future out there. The sports teams of the University of Houston are shaking up the NCAA.
Zax: Oh yeah that. I never expected them to have such good teams. I don't know what's going on in Houston, but whatever they're doing to upset this country, they're doing something right, like a lot of that. Before the University of Houston, it was all about the University of Texas and Texas A&M. Today, the University of Houston is the new tough kid on the block changing college rivalries in Texas forever.
Jack: Houston is about passion than showing off. We take the most passionate people into our teams and help them work together to do their best together. Everything in Houston is a new beginning and never the end.
Leo: Toro has made me laugh a few times; that's for sure.
Super C: All the mascots are following the examples of Toro by educating the public on how to behave and how not to behave during sports events. You mentioned Houston, so the mascots there would be Shasta the Cougar and his significant other, Sasha.
*More music begins.*
Super C: Oh, speaking of which, here they come now!
Leo: Good timing, Commander.
*The next marching band to arrive is the U. of Houston band, complete with the mascots, Shasta and Sasha. We see the real cougars, however, not the costumed characters. The band plays the "Womp Womp" song, and to show his drumming talents, Shasta plays the marching tenor drums, while Sasha acts as a drum majorette.*
Zax: What are they doing here?
Wrangler Wolf: Just joining with the folks from Houston who are here as well as those coming here.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: Houston has so much to offer these days! Aren't we awesome?
Wrangler Wolf: Yes, sir!
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: I look forward to the Texans' development next season, and I'm usually a Cowboys fan.
Zax: Me, too. Next season should be way more exciting.
Police 1: We got more people incoming! Single file line, everybody!
Police 2: You're doing a good job here; keep it up!
Jack: Wow; we're getting more people than expected here just for the solar eclipse.
Police 3: Sorry, sir, but this restaurant is full. But you're more than welcome to join the waitlist on this screen right here.
Police 4: There's QR codes, too. Stores are busy everywhere, so get ready to use your phone here more.
Zax: Wait, where's Bevo, the mascot for the University of Texas here?
Juno: Down there with the huge band from the University of Texas.
*Bevo and the Texas band come next. The C.I.D.F. also help with crowd control. Everyone's behaving very well. Shasta and Sasha exchange salutes with Leo.*
Leo: Bravo to both of you, and to all the bands here; your music is doing us wonders with the crowd control.
Shasta: Thank you; it's a pleasure to perform for everybody. Sorry we didn't play "Hail to the Chief" in time.
Leo: That's all right; I don't expect to always hear it when I enter a place. Play your fight song for me one time, please.
*The UH band does so after Sasha blows her whistle. Bevo and the Texas band follow suit.*
*elsewhere in America*
*In other parts of the nation where people can see the eclipse without having to travel to Texas, the university marching bands and mascots do similar duties.*
Leo: (narrating) Needless to say, the crowd control methods worked, especially when the marching bands and mascots showed up. The Marching Wonder proved to us once again why music is truly magical. Shasta, though, is often credited as the definitive example of how CNG could boost ones musical ability to the level of the Forsythians; when playing the marching tenor drums, some argued he was performing superhuman feats on those drums. If he was to play a drum set, he could play a solo that almost rivaled the abilities of the Snare Soldier and Monarch Major. "They can out-drum me any day of the week, though," he said. "I thank them for inspiring me to take up drumming. We provide the beat that you cannot beat!" I like drummers with a sense of humor.
Do you like the adventures of the G-52s and their allies, even if it gets crazy once in a while? If so, stay tuned for more, but get yourself a good night's sleep, too. Good night.
THE END
-----------------------------------------
More GSAF Troubles
Super C: (narrating) Super C here. When people ask me which one bothers me most between the AIRAF, the GSAF, or the F5 Terror Force, the GSAF is the correct answer. The F5 Terror Force are the most dangerous because they're actual supervillains, but the GSAF are the ones that do the most disgusting things to all those who disobey them. Per our own Code of Conduct, I cannot speak about them, and I do not allow my recruits and our allies to speak about it either, although we do sympathize with those that were once in the GSAF but defected to our side, because they had undergone many experiences that traumatized them. (Some prime examples of this include Bob Saunders and Marshall Stephenson, the latter of which serves on Leo's cabinet.)
Leo the Patriotic Lion: (narrating) I am thankful for them all, though; I couldn't do what I do without them.
Super C: (narrating) This journal entry primarly highlights their latest pathetic attempt to the rule the world with an iron fist, although it also has a pretty embarrassing moment for them. Viewer discretion is advised here. If your stomachs or brains can't handle this, then look away now! Turn off your smartphone, computer, or tablet, purify your mind of everything, and go for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. Trust me. You'll be glad you did.
We'll include a few other highlights, though.
*Later, GSG 9 (German SWAT) police investigate an arson attack on a Tesla factory in Berlin.*
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* About time our enemies showed up.
GSG 9 Police 1: *In German* All of Berlin is under lockdown, and the GSAF has claimed attack on this facility.
GSG 9 Police 2: *In German* No one is hurt, thank goodness, but the facility is severely damaged.
GSG 9 Police 3: *In German* The video showed a combination of GSAF terrorists and cyborgs deploying C4 bombs throughout the facility. The facility was still under construction, nearly towards grand opening; then this happened!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* This is going to be a long day.
Col. Drago: (Large and muscular GSAF male grey raccoon with long white hair and blue eyes.) *In German* You think? I'll make it short for you so time will be on our side!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* An American communist terrorist! What are you doing here?
Col. Drago: *In German* That is none of your concern. Leo has turned the Rio Grande into a DMZ zone with Mexico that made invading Texas from Mexico impossible! But that Mexican-American border can only last so long. I have plenty of cyborgs to put your German engineering to the test.
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Leo's German parallel is also our chancellor. He has been ready for your arrival.
Col. Drago: *In German* I see him as almost no different from Adolf Hitler!
Luitpold the Germanic Lion: (narrating in English) You don't know how offended I was by that statement. I'm nothing like Adolf Hitler!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Luitpold does not invade other countries to enslave the Jews. You know nothing of history, just like the rest of those filthy communist freaks. Your type brought the eastern side of our glorious nation into ruins, and luckily our reunification allowed us to rebuild our glory there.
Col. Drago: *In German* Not to worry. All of Germany shall fall under us instead! We will finish where Stalin left off!
Warlord Wolf: *In German* The unity of our people through the legacy of Charlemagne remains unbroken by evil.
*As the GSAF cyborgs land from above, German soldiers show up en masse.*
Col. Drago: *In German* I will make Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator series look like child's play! Here comes sci-fi horror!
Warlord Wolf: *In German as he readies his shield and sword.* He is from Austria, you idiot!
German Soldier 1: *In German as he readies his HK416 assault rifle.* Get ready to meet modern German steel!
German Soldier 2: *In German* All units fire at will!
GSAF Cyborg 1: *In German* GSG 9 detected.
GSAF Cyborg 2: *In German* GSG 9 acquiring targets.
GSAF Cyborg 3: *In German* Incoming G-52 backup.
*Lightning strikes next to Warlord Wolf, and suddenly the Majornator appears.*
Majornator: *In German* You won't fight alone, Warlord Wolf. *In German to Col. Drago.* Send in everything you got against us!
Col. Drago: *In German* Certainly!
*Some GSAF terrorists show up.*
GSAF Terrorist 1: *In German* Get ready for the Fall of Berlin, Part 2!
GSAF Terrorist 2: *In German* And this time, we will have all of Germany and finish off where Stalin left off!
GSAF Terrorist 3: *In German* You were a fool to leave your country open for this.
GSAF Terrorist 4: *In German* So your chancellor is better than Hitler because he has a machine gun with him? We'll see about that!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
*Two GSAF officers sneak in to a boutique hotel, ironically called The Socialist, to plan a terror attack in Denmark.*
GSAF Terrorist 1: I hear this is the hotel where married Danish couples go to have-
GSAF Terrorist 2: You mean a certain action that people call the procreation of life?
GSAF Terrorist 1: No, no, no; you pervert! What I mean is that they go there to have vacations in small but cozy hotels during this cold weather. But what's there to do in Denmark these days? It's boring! So cloudy and cold...
*Alpha and three male civilians enter the hotel to chill at a bar.*
Alpha: *In Danish* Hot chocolat,e please!
Bartender: *In Danish* One hot chocolate coming right up for you. *He serves Alpha his hot chocolate.* Enjoy!
Civilian 1: *In Danish* Let's record this for the internet. My phone is ready. You, put the sparkler stick in your mouth. And you, get the lighter ready.
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Sure! *He puts a sparkler stick in his mouth as Civilian 1 chuckles.*
Civilian 3: *In Danish to the bartender.* Give me some aquavit, please.
Bartender: *In Danish* Knock yourself out and enjoy. *He gives Civilian 3 a small glass of aquavit.*
Civilian 3: *In Danish* Lets light this one up! Time to show the world what we got since the bored Chinese wants to show off their talents on the internet with their short videos. *He drinks the aquavit but holds the alcohol in his mouth before he takes out a lighter and turns it on when the bartender is not looking. However, he accidentally sneezes the alcohol out spewing the aquavit onto the lighter, causing a huge flamethrower that sets the two GSAF terrorists on fire by accident despite being able to light the sparkler successfully. Everybody, of course, panics.* ACHOOOO!
Alpha: *In Danish as he spews hot chocolate everywhere from his mouth as he notices the two GSAF terrorists are running around while on fire.* WHAT THE HECK?!
Civilian 2: *In Danish as he accidentally throws his sparkler at one of the GSAF terrorists, making the flames on them worse, as he continues to panic.* Fire extinguisher! Help! Oh, man; we gotta go!
GSAF Terrorist 1: *He runs around as he is on fire.* HEEEEEEEEEELP! I'M BURNING ALIVE!
GSAF Terrorist 2: *He runs around as he is on fire.* I AM LITERALLY THE BURNING MAN! SOMEONE HELP US!
*The ceiling fire sprinklers go off as everybody in the lobby evacuates as the two terrorists eventually burn to death. The ambulance and police arrives to cordon off the scene.*
Civilian 1: *In Danish* What did you do?!
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I had allergies and then this happened! Oh. no! Do we have to explain how this happened to Lenarth? He's going to think we're idiots for this!
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Liu has yet to blow up on Chinese internet idiots for doing stupid things, so I think we'll be okay.
Alpha: *In Danish* I was trying to enjoy my hot chocolate in peace before contemplating what I want to do in The Socialist! You ruined my vacation plans here in Copenhagen!
Civilian 3: *In Danish* This was a bad idea. Lenarth is going to either condemn me or get my priest to excommunicate me, isn't he?
Alpha: *In Danish* No, I doubt it. But you are going to have to live with the fact that you did this and you're going to spend a lot of time begging for forgiveness from your priest and God.
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I'd rather be in jail than to live like this with everybody knowing that I killed someone with a stupid idea.
Alpha: *In Danish* Based on this, no you will not be jailed, since this is considered an accident. So living with this is enough punishment as it is now that you will be telling others not to make the same mistake you did. What exactly were you trying to do?
Civilian 3: *In Danish* I was trying to light his sparkler by spitting alcohol through my lighter on it. You know, firebreathing. Some Chinese martial arts practitioners still do that to this day with rice wine and I wanted to do my take with it for the internet because we thought it was cool.
Civilian 2: *In Danish* The world is getting so much better and I thought it would be a good idea to do this.
Civilian 1: *In Danish* And I wanted to record this for the internet, too, but now I'm worried Lenarth is going to harshly judge us and portray us as idiots to everybody in public.
Alpha: *In Danish* If only you knew not to take peace for granted now you made a mess. *He sees Lenarth coming.* Oh...
Civilian 3: *In Danish* We are so screwed...
Civilian 2: *In Danish* Just tell him we were trying to make a chemistry lesson video which accidentally backfired.
Civilian 1: *In Danish* Good idea. Man that was bad.
Civilian 4: *In Danish* Huh? What's going on?
Civilian 5: *In Danish* Whatever just happened was really bad. We rarely have cases like this.
Civilian 4's Daughter: *In Danish* This vacation blows! I want to go home!
Civilian 4's Son: *In Danish* I wish we never had to travel again! What will I tell the kids at school?
*Germany*
*Luitpold shows up.*
Luitpold: *in German* Take no prisoners! Do not let the enemy get away, one way or another!
*The British G-52s, who had been on patrol, also come to assist, as evident by Warwolf's supersonic howl. The howl makes the GSAF terrorists cringe and cover their ears, but because it's his howl and not one of the parallels letting out a roar, it's not as piercing to the ears as a roar would be.*
Warwolf: We're your extra backup!
Captain C: And it's time for you to chill!
*Captain C and the Avenger Rat freeze some of the terrorists with their powers.*
Avenger Rat: What's the matter? Do I have bad breath?
*Denmark*
*Lenarth the Naval Lion approaches the scene, but doesn't lose his temper. However, he is very cross with the public.*
Lenarth: *in Danish* The G-52 app informs me of scenes like this, so no point in lying to me. I know what you did! If you were trying out for the circus, they'd make you a clown instead!
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *He bashes against a GSAF cyborg with his shield.* There's so many of these cyborgs!
Luitpold: *In German* Fire in the hole! *He throws a grenade at a group of cyborgs and blows them up. He then fires his MG4 machine gun at the cyborgs to destroy them.*
German Soldier 1: *In German* Reinforcements have arrived!
German Soldier 2: *In German* Don't let him get away!
Col. Drago: *He runs for cover.* They're coming in fast!
Majornator: Why are you running? You said you will send everything you got against us! *He uses his mace to launch lightning arcs against several cyborgs to destroy them.* I'm just barely getting warmed up here!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Civilian 1: *In Danish* I've never seen you this angry before.
Alpha: *In Danish* What did you three stooges expect? Did you think any of this was cool or funny?
*The three civilians remain silent.*
Civilian 5: *In Danish* Whatever they did, must've been really bad. It takes a lot to make Lenarth mad these days.
Danger Drummer: *In Danish as he shows up.* So you wanted to be stupid for your 15 minutes of fame. I hope it was worth it because now you will live with this for the rest of your lives.
Alpha: *In Danish to Lenarth.* Any more comments? I think they understood the point.
Civilian 3: *In Danish* Chinese martial artists breathe fire with rice wine-
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* Does not mean you should! Just because you can does not mean you should!
Rasmus: *In Danish as he shows up.* So it was you three! God gave you the gift to think and make decisions, so you use that for this?! I almost thought this was a terrorist attack!
Civilian 6: *In Danish* Time to wear the clown shoes, you stooges! Don't forget the clown makeup and red noses, too!
Civilian 4: *In Danish* Your act killed two people! I hope that was worth all of this!
*Beijing, China*
*Politicians introduce a bill to Liu that requires people to post warning messages before performing dangerous stunts in videos.*
Politician 1: *In Chinese* If people are going to do stupid things like this, even rice wine firebreathing, which has been going on over thousands of years, they should be required to put a warning message in their videos first before they go online!
Politician 2: *In Chinese* If it's dangerous, it should not be tried at home and only professionals should do it!
Politician 3: *In Chinese* Sign the Dangerous Stunts Act into law now before we doom the world!
Politician 4: *In Chinese* So some bored Danish Viking men want to copy what we've been doing over thousands of years just for fun? There's a reason why in China, only certain martial artists are allowed to do this! They're pros at it and know what they're doing!
Politician 5: *In Chinese* The martial artists who do this are typically practitioners of the drunken fist! Liu knows these practitioners well and knows them well enough to know only they are professionals at mastering the art of firebreathing with rice wine in martial arts!
*Berlin, Germany*
*Firefox has his rocket launcher, so he uses that as well.*
Firefox: Be off with you!
*Captain C's next freeze attack makes it impossible for Col. Drago to escape.*
Captain C: You've got nowhere to run now!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Lenarth: *in Danish* I think we said all that needs to be said. I wish there was makeup here; then we could actually make them look like clowns.
*Beijing, China*
*Liu the Confucian Lion signs the bill with no hesitation.*
Liu: *in Chinese* And for the record, I never do the fire-breathing act myself. If anybody I knew ever did that, it was because they were a dragon.
*Berlin, Germany*
Warlord Wolf: Excellent shot there Firefox!
*Eventually, the GSAF cyborgs are eliminated as the remaining terrorists are arrested.*
Col. Drago: I can't move my body! It's cold...
Warlord Wolf: You got decent body armor though. You'll be fine.
Col. Drago: This won't be the last time we'll strike Europe!
*The police arrests the GSAF terrorists.*
GSG 9 Police 1: *In German* We got them!
GSG 9 Police 2: *In German* The British got excellent G-52s to help us out on this!
*Copenhagen, Denmark*
Alpha: *In Danish* You gave me an idea. Danger Drummer, can you use your marching band to lead these three idiots to a nearby town and have the locals dress them up as clowns before we take pictures of them to post on social media?
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* That might be a little much. I think them confessing to their priests about this is enough punishment as it is. If they try to conceal or lie about this, they'll find out. This is on the news already so everybody knows anyways.
Alpha: *In Danish* Fair enough.
*Germany*
Luitpold: *in German* Thank heaven that's over!
*Denmark*
Lenarth: *in Danish* No need to put them in makeup. *to Danger Drummer* Do us a favor, though, and strike up the band. Your music will get everybody's minds off this tragic accident. I hope.
*Germany*
Warlord Wolf: *In German* Mission accomplished! Over and out!
*Denmark*
Danger Drummer: *In Danish* Yes, sir! *He does so.*
Lenarth: (narrating in English) And the moral of that story is that you should always think it through before you speak or act. God gave you people a brain for a reason. Use it!
Anyways, that's out of the way now. Let's move on. In the U.S., the state of Texas was expected to be flooded with tourists eager to watch the next solar eclipse. However, the C.I.D.F. sent extra security to help, even though some claim they overreacted because the sheer number of soldiers they sent outnumbered the tourists almost 3 to 1. It (unintentionally) made some of the tourists and their children ashamed to even be there. Tourism exploded all over the world when CNG ceased to exist in 2022, but the aftereffects of it, which the C.I.D.F. claimed would take tens of thousands of years to wear off (assuming the Lord lets the Earth live that long), are now ensuring tourism is dropping to almost nothing just as alarmingly. If any game show contestants in my home nation of Denmark won a trip, they turned the trip down 9 times out of 10 and prayed they could take a cash substitute instead.
*Later, everything returns to normal but several counties throughout Texas declare state of emergency as they continue to receive data of more people planning to visit just for the solar eclipse. Austin, Texas' state capital, declares state of emergency as both the mayor and governor requests additional reinforcements from the C.I.D.F.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Politician 1: This is worse than I thought! We got way more than 5 million people wanting to visit us for the solar eclipse! Our city has only so much space to go around and we will have the most visitors.
Politician 2: We contacted Super C about this situation and the C.I.D.F. are sending everybody they can to help us prepare for the enormous crowds.
Politician 3: *To Wrangler Wolf.* We need you in our capital more than ever! I'm sorry but you and Cody are going to be assigned to this city instead. Of all the cities getting visitors for this, this city will get the most. *He shows Wrangler Wolf his tablet.* Our police department alone does not have the resources to handle this huge upcoming crowd.
Wrangler Wolf: Whoa! That's way too many people! Not even the city of Houston can handle that!
Politician 3: We have to do everything we can to prevent a crowd crush next month. Our hotels are booked to ceilings, people are coming in the masses, our businesses will be full to the brim, it's going to be complete chaos.
Politician 4: Coordinating all of this is extremely resource intensive. The Texas National Guard has all hands-on deck and even that, we are still getting National Guard and other reserves units from other states coming here to help us out. It's really bad.
Politician 5: This makes Superbowl crowds look tiny in comparison. We were not expecting a record crowd to be coming here in a few weeks.
*Mayor Watson speaks to the press about this issue.*
Watson: We are doing everything we can to prepare for this event for the solar eclipse. We welcome our troops from outside of Texas to assist us in our preparation to coordinate this event peacefully.
Abbott: *He speaks to Super C and Prius from his office as he sends in data to prove that large amounts of people will be visiting certain cities and towns for the solar eclipse.* At this time, we are going to need everything you can send us to help us coordinate this event peacefully as we now have a very high risk for crowd crushes. What happened in Houston during Astroworld is too much. We cannot have anymore of this!
*Washington D.C., USA*
Zax: Don't worry, Governor! We are sending everything we can to help you prepare for this!
Juno: We should have plenty of C.I.D.F. agents to help these cities prepare for this.
Marshall: It looks like these cities, especially Austin, are holding solar eclipse festivals, which will draw in even bigger crowds.
Zax: Meaning larger risks for crowd crushes. Austin is going to get a record number of visitors to the point that their police department alone are not going to be able to handle this themselves.
Jack: Houston's got a lot of people alone, and many of them will be visiting Austin for the solar eclipse.
Zachary: Other states are sending in their National Guard troops to help Texas prepare for this. That's really bad if the crowd does not cooperate. The crowds should be able to cooperate, though.
Zax: We got this.
Frank C.: I have an idea!
Zax: Ah?
Frank C.: *To the Marching Wonder (you).* Can you lead your bands to perform in Austin to help keep the crowd behaved in the next few weeks?
*Mexico City, Mexico*
*The government issues a travel warning against visiting select cities in Texas due to the upcoming solar eclipse hosting events.*
Politician 1: *In Spanish* At this time, we advise against visiting the American state of Texas, especially Austin, their state capital, during this time to April due to high risks of crowd crushes.
Politician 2: *In Spanish* If you must visit those places in Texas, please plan ahead right now! Otherwise, stay out of that part of America for the sake of your safety!
Politician 3: *In Spanish* There will be plenty of American soldiers throughout those places so if you go, they will ask for ID before you visit them! Just because you're cleared by American border patrol and customs does not mean these soldiers will know. Their job is to keep unnecessary large amounts of visitors from coming in since these cities and towns require that visitors book their hotels before they are allowed to visit. If you do not book your hotels in those cities and towns, you will not be allowed to visit them.
Jon: *In Spanish to Leandro.* It sounds like these Americans really know how to throw parties.
Victoria: *In Spanish* They also take safety extremely seriously as well.
*Washington, D.C., USA*
Marching Wonder: *me, to Frank C.* I would be delighted to do so, Frank. After all, music is magic! The powerful effects our music has on these people (especially when you consider the fact that CNG gave all musical G-52s and allies the same powers; it did the same to you because you're a drum major) will be enough to keep them in line.
*Austin, TX, USA*
*The fact that there are now 3.5 million C.I.D.F. soldiers in Austin leads to some joking that the C.I.D.F. are contributing to the crowd crush risks. Meanwhile, another of Abbot's helpers contacts Cody.*
Cody's voice: Why am I not surprised? We'll be there, sir.
*G-52 HQ*
Prius: *to Abbot* No need to worry; I have 3.5 million troops in the C.I.D.F. down there as we speak.
Super C: We also apologize if it discourages tourism. Wildcat City's tourism numbers have dropped recently because of the sheer amount of C.I.D.F. troops patrolling it, and as a result, people are only vacationing here as a way of punishing their kids for their bad behavior. Not the first time that's happened to us, but it is insulting.
*Washington D.C.*
Frank C.: Whatever works!
*I, the Marching Wonder, then play a drum cadence on my military field drum, and Frank C. and I exchange salutes.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Abbott: I would rather have tourism discouraged here than to risk a crowd crush, but I understand why you feel insulted.
*Later, Leo and his administration arrives in Austin to help out as the tourism crowd starts to pick up quickly.*
*Austin, TX, USA*
Zax: It's more people than I expected and it's not even April already.
Wrangler Wolf: 3.5 million C.I.D.F. agents is good here. They alone can spread throughout Travis County since this entire county, not just Austin, is booked.
Juno: This is becoming like New York City crowded.
Jack: Austin is America's fastest growing state capital.
Zax: As well as the most fancy and swanky city in Texas.
Juno: It's Austin; of course they like to be weird like this.
Marshall: I've never seen so many people here before.
Jack: They're bringing kids here, too. Hopefully there's enough solar eclipse glasses for everybody.
Zax: There should be.
Abbott: Thank you for all the help you've sent here. We are expecting record-breaking numbers of visitors soon. You can already see where this is going now. It may not be as crowded as New York City, but it is quickly getting there.
Zax: It's looking like Los Angeles here at least. *To Wrangler Wolf.* I see your governor wanted you and Cody here instead. I'm thinking you two are staying in some sweet downtown hotel here for your jobs.
Wrangler Wolf: Y'all could say that. But a job is a job and this is a job that needs to be done.
Zax: Yes, sir! From the looks of things, Austin is prepared well enough to prevent making a crowd crush mistake like they did in Seoul during Halloween not too long ago.
Zachary: Wait, do we have enough room for the Marching Wonder's parades for the city's solar eclipse festival?
Zax: Of course!
*We hear my whistle blow.*
Leo: And here they come now!
*All three marching bands I lead, even the one with bagpipes, arrive. The tourists arrive as well, but the music we are playing distracts them from doing anything else. Even little kids are behaving themselves.*
Zax: There's more people than I thought!
Mechayote: If they're behaving, that's what matters the most.
Juno: The festival isn't held until April 8, and already Austin is getting packed.
Mechayote: Because for big events like this, people like to plan ahead of time by booking ahead of time so they can enjoy the cities they visit before the big day comes. Remember, the tourists going home will be just as much as a challenge of preparing for them coming in.
Zax: I hope this isn't a logistical nightmare.
Jack: Everything's going to be all right as long as everybody behaves.
Leo: The music will help with that.
Tom the Patriotic Tiger: Some of them seem embarrassed to even be here unless my eyes are deceiving me.
Super C: It's probably because they know the C.I.D.F. is keeping an eye on them. But that does not mean we're adapting the mindset of Big Brother. No. The Code of Conduct in both organizations forbids that. All we're doing is holding them accountable for their actions.
*Tom's comment does not tell a lie; at least two kids are crying, although they don't say a word. The looks on their faces do say, "I want to go home!"*
Leo: They'll get over it.
Zax: Nothing to be embarrassed about. If people want to see the solar eclipse, why not? *His phone beeps and looks at it.* Wow. Dallas is getting lots of visitors for this as well.
Juno: Dallas has a lot of people anyways complete with lots of stuff to do there.
Zax: Dallas is the embodiment of the modern American Dream: American corporations headquartered there for the most part, an emerging tech center, a city where most American anime voice actors live in, a city where most American internet stars live in, a city where jobs are always booming, a city where the economy is resilient even in the worst times, and to top it off, the largest furry events and convention in Texas being in Dallas for the most part.
Juno: So if the C.I.D.F. cannot adopt the mindset of Big Brother, then how do they handle China's domestic policies and laws?
Jack: Common sense morality and the Overton Window.
Zax: I call that the range of acceptability. Oh, hey! Remember the concept of fast, good, and cheap?
Jack: What about it?
Zax: I remember what it's actually called now; the triple constraint.
Jack: Also known as the iron triangle, project triangle, or project management triangle. They teach that to children a lot these days.
Cripto: (narrating) I first learned about this when somebody used it to explain to me their thoughts on fast food. If you want good cheap food, then you can't have it given to you fast. If you want fast cheap food, don't expect it to be good. If you want good fast food, it won't be cheap. You can have two of the three, but you'll never have all three.
Zax: Every choice has a sacrifice, and we can only choose the best ones out there. Or as I put it sometimes, you can enjoy today and pay tomorrow or pay today and enjoy tomorrow.
Juno: I like that quote! Some of us, especially the G-52s, have our own quotes. With Chuong, it's the following: "In heaven, there is order, but in hell there is pleasure." And for you, it's "Enjoy today and pay tomorrow or pay today and enjoy tomorrow."
Luong the Hidden Lion: (narrating in English) And many of us would rather have order than pleasure.
Zax: How about "Pay today and enjoy tomorrow?"
Juno: Much better!
Jack: Chuong's quote describes Las Vegas and Macao because they're world-class casino cities.
Wrangler Wolf: Macao is the devil's palace because all that overindulgence may seem fun, but there's a price to pay, especially the fact that it's the gambling capital of this world. Beautiful city in the tropics, if you can afford the fun and indulgence there.
Juno: And unlike Las Vegas, Macao has pachinko parlors, too.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: With lots of Chinese C.I.D.F. soldiers patrolling the city. Yes, Nightwatch and I got here early, too, so we don't have to deal with the crowd surge in April, but it's picking up heat here.
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: And I have to admit that I am extremely disappointed in the Dallas Cowboys, more so in their team management than their performance. The Houston Texans have a lot of cap space and their linemen are incredibly ferocious. The Texans are ready to tear the NFL apart next season. Don't get me started on bad fan behavior with the Dallas Cowboys either; I was incredibly disgusted witnessing their antics in Dallas, because I live there and I had to hear profanity and vandalism day in and day out, complete with TV sets being thrown out of windows. The Texans actually did something, unlike the Cowboys, and now, they earned every right to be called Texas' team.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: You should meet Toro; he's funny! He even uses videos of bad fan behavior to teach people how not to behave during sports.
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: He's an amazing mascot for the Texans. However, I was rooting for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, and amazingly, they did. In the end, more power to the Texans for getting themselves together and proving themselves to be better than the Cowboys. They earned that privilege!
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: The Texans got a whole new future out there. The sports teams of the University of Houston are shaking up the NCAA.
Zax: Oh yeah that. I never expected them to have such good teams. I don't know what's going on in Houston, but whatever they're doing to upset this country, they're doing something right, like a lot of that. Before the University of Houston, it was all about the University of Texas and Texas A&M. Today, the University of Houston is the new tough kid on the block changing college rivalries in Texas forever.
Jack: Houston is about passion than showing off. We take the most passionate people into our teams and help them work together to do their best together. Everything in Houston is a new beginning and never the end.
Leo: Toro has made me laugh a few times; that's for sure.
Super C: All the mascots are following the examples of Toro by educating the public on how to behave and how not to behave during sports events. You mentioned Houston, so the mascots there would be Shasta the Cougar and his significant other, Sasha.
*More music begins.*
Super C: Oh, speaking of which, here they come now!
Leo: Good timing, Commander.
*The next marching band to arrive is the U. of Houston band, complete with the mascots, Shasta and Sasha. We see the real cougars, however, not the costumed characters. The band plays the "Womp Womp" song, and to show his drumming talents, Shasta plays the marching tenor drums, while Sasha acts as a drum majorette.*
Zax: What are they doing here?
Wrangler Wolf: Just joining with the folks from Houston who are here as well as those coming here.
Shadow Lord Razor Fang: Houston has so much to offer these days! Aren't we awesome?
Wrangler Wolf: Yes, sir!
Shadow Lord Nightwatch: I look forward to the Texans' development next season, and I'm usually a Cowboys fan.
Zax: Me, too. Next season should be way more exciting.
Police 1: We got more people incoming! Single file line, everybody!
Police 2: You're doing a good job here; keep it up!
Jack: Wow; we're getting more people than expected here just for the solar eclipse.
Police 3: Sorry, sir, but this restaurant is full. But you're more than welcome to join the waitlist on this screen right here.
Police 4: There's QR codes, too. Stores are busy everywhere, so get ready to use your phone here more.
Zax: Wait, where's Bevo, the mascot for the University of Texas here?
Juno: Down there with the huge band from the University of Texas.
*Bevo and the Texas band come next. The C.I.D.F. also help with crowd control. Everyone's behaving very well. Shasta and Sasha exchange salutes with Leo.*
Leo: Bravo to both of you, and to all the bands here; your music is doing us wonders with the crowd control.
Shasta: Thank you; it's a pleasure to perform for everybody. Sorry we didn't play "Hail to the Chief" in time.
Leo: That's all right; I don't expect to always hear it when I enter a place. Play your fight song for me one time, please.
*The UH band does so after Sasha blows her whistle. Bevo and the Texas band follow suit.*
*elsewhere in America*
*In other parts of the nation where people can see the eclipse without having to travel to Texas, the university marching bands and mascots do similar duties.*
Leo: (narrating) Needless to say, the crowd control methods worked, especially when the marching bands and mascots showed up. The Marching Wonder proved to us once again why music is truly magical. Shasta, though, is often credited as the definitive example of how CNG could boost ones musical ability to the level of the Forsythians; when playing the marching tenor drums, some argued he was performing superhuman feats on those drums. If he was to play a drum set, he could play a solo that almost rivaled the abilities of the Snare Soldier and Monarch Major. "They can out-drum me any day of the week, though," he said. "I thank them for inspiring me to take up drumming. We provide the beat that you cannot beat!" I like drummers with a sense of humor.
Do you like the adventures of the G-52s and their allies, even if it gets crazy once in a while? If so, stay tuned for more, but get yourself a good night's sleep, too. Good night.

Chuong: So Alpha, what you witnessed is a prime example of why we tell kids not to play with fire.
Alpha: Whether the victims were GSAF terrorists or not, the guys should've known better. Alcohol and fire do not mix.
Zax: Especially the strong kind, like aquavit. This is one of the many reasons why kids are taught basic chemistry these days.

Super C: I'm very sorry you had to witness it.
Lenarth: I am glad I didn't see it, but the G-52 app told me what they did. I fear what the Lord will say to them when they have to stand before Him and confess everything.
