The Quest for Cheese, Part III

But his mentor was not proud.  His mentor stood in the shadows of the
evil.hideout.of.limburger.lad.  He was seething.  How _DARE_ Limburger Lad
take credit for his genius, even if he was merely doing the standard
super-villain rant to himself.  Someone could overhear, and be totally misled
for at least two days until the next installment of "The Quest for Cheese" made
it out over the net, and they would then think Limburger Lad was responsible
for this current mess Cheeezarr and the infernal Makkaroni found themselves in.
He spoke. "Oh stinky one, you were responsible for bringing Blacky over?  _YOU_
would have done it all long ago if not for those pesky kids?  I think not."

LL turned away from his monitor in horror.  _HE_ was _HERE_!  His mentor.
The one responsible for _EVERYTHING_! "I'm sorry sir.  I didn't mean it.
My super-villain's desire to relate all his plans just took over, and got
a little carried away!  I meant no disrespect!"  He looked at his mentor, who
never failed to strike him dumb with awe.  There were a few people (such as
Lurking Girl, even if she was a hero) that L.L.  could look at and think,
"Hey, she could never be too naked.  In fact, she's not naked enough."  And
then there was his mentor.  From his mentor's brown, preppy hair down to
his slightly goofy-looking face, to his sloping shoulders, down his bare chest,
to his love.handles, to his slightly portly belly, and finally to what amounted
to his costume: a pair of tiger-striped, monogrammed bikini underwear, bearing
the legend "Tommbly-Bloobly", Limburger Lad had never seen anyone else whom
he could easily describe as being too naked.  He shuddered just looking at him.
His mentor was the aptly named Flying.Altogether.Too.Naked.Villain.  Or
F.A.T.N.Villain for short.  And then there was the Trident of Power.  A black-
handled, red-tined Trident of Power.  The source of the F.A.T.N.Villain's
power.  Without it, he would be just another Flying.Altogether.Too.Naked.V.
But with it, he was god-like.

"You're lucky I'm in such a pleasant mood today, LL.  Or I would have had to
use the power of the Trident against you. And I don't think either of us want
that to happen.  I would lose such a wonderful servant, wouldn't I?"

"Yes sir," LL managed to get out without vomiting.  "Please don't do anything
that evil to me, master."

"Continue to serve me in good stead, drop these dreams of your own importance,
and we'll see.  You know, you're just another meaningless cog in the
net.verse when compared to me."

"Yes master."  And Limburger Lad's mind began to turn to very un-evil things...

<ENTER CHEESY ANNOUNCER VOICE>

What is the power of the Trident of Power?  Will the
Flying.Altogether.Too.Naked.Villain ever put on more clothes?  Will the LNH
be able to stop the combined might of Limburger Lad, F.A.T.N.Villain, and
the as-yet unseen Blacky, Archer of Death?  And what is it that LL's mind
turned to?  The answers to all this and more in the next episode of:
