As the protesters began to disperse, the ever annoying
mastermind G Mod emerged from behind the hemp covered masses. With rage in his
heart and vengeance clenched in his tired fists, Brick charged at the record
producer with all his might, but he failed to make even a dent. The megalomaniacal
G Mod grabbed the frustrated guitarist's fist and used it to send Brick flying
face first into the mud beneath his feet.
From beneath the Brick shaped indent in the brown dirt, Brick
muttered, "Of course. Nothing's gone right for me thus far, why should I
win now?"
G Mod, amused by
Brick's insistence on self pity merely, laughed as he watched him rise to his
feet and shake the grass from his face. "We've wasted enough time with
this malarkey already, boy."
"Oh god, now he decides to be topical? Why don't you
just leave me alone, old man."
"I can't do that anymore, Brick. You've been alone too
long. Your mind is beginning to rot."
"Haha funny. Is this going to be another speech about
how I'm sooo ignorant and how you know everything about the entirety of
existence?"
"Sarcasm is an ugly shade of human communication; I was
never a big fan."
"I'm sure. You never were a fan of anything I ever did."
"Brick, you've been trapped in your own cathedral of
ideas for too long..."
"Wait a minute...Slate mentioned that in the very first
webisode (Editor's note: *we had to fire our editor due to a Ponzi Scheme they
had tried to start but failed miserably*), before everything became goofy and
self-caricature."
"For all his bluster and faux rockstar posturing, Slate
had a few moments of clarity, and that was one of them."
"What the hell do you mean by a cathedral of ideas?"
"You hide behind your so-called music, your novel...
anything but face the rest of the world. You even went into seclusion for christsakes.
You've walled yourself off and no it's
time for you to face what you've become. It's about time for you to put aside all
of these unnecessary distractions and characters that you've held onto for so
long..."
"What did you do?"
"What I had to..."
"WHAT. DID. YOU.
DO?!"
"I merely removed some unnecessary parts of the equation
in order to balance things out again."
"Where's Tigerman?" Brick demanded as he tried to
grab G Mod's collar but missed."
"I showed him
the error of his ways."
"You bastard!"
"He was a crutch! He made you weak with his own
weakness."
"And Shadow?"
"You mean the ape responsible for me being able to keep
tabs on you this whole time? He's gone along with the cowardly tiger and the
Slate Man to meet Oz the Gweat and Tewwible."
"..."
"You're missing the point."
"Am I? Then what is it?"
"They were the unnecessary parts of you that you didn't
need any more. It's time to leave your shelter, grow up and join the rest of
the human race. This charade has lasted long enough. Let go of your childish
dreams. We're going home "
With a swift flick between the eyes, G Mod disabled Brick
and set into motion his end game. Brick fell slowly to the ground. As his body
began to lose all feeling, he finally began to feel at peace, even as he knew
that something terrible awaited him at the other end of this fall. There was no
going back this time.
