Uncover the secret of the accountants

Here it is, a new story. It's a parody that's loosely based on a certain movie that was requested by several friends. Well enjoy.


Here I'm am in the year 2012, working undercover at a secret underground area that's underneath the Toys R Us parking lot in North Little Rock. What happens late at night is alot of women gather in this secret location to see male strippers.

I peek though the curtains and see alot of women sitting down at their tables and they looked like they are very eager on seeing alot men nude.

I needed to perform so I can stay undercover. Sadly, I'm going to be so embarrassed on showing my skin to all these women. My heart is beating rapidly and my face is turning red. I look down at myself and I look at the other men that's planning to go to stage. They obviously have abs, I don't. Also, these guys know how to dance, I don't. If I'm not going to die from embarrassment on showing my skin, I'm sure going to die from humiliating myself with my bad dancing skills.

I said to myself, How I got myself into this. I started to think back to yesterday when I was in my old ally's office.



I entered the office and saw New Captain typing on his computer. He was the leader of a unit called the Heroes to stop a terrorist group called the Baddies. They attempted to conquer Arkansas several times but they failed. Since they were ultimately defeated, New Captain's unit has disbanded. He does keep in contact with a few members of his old group in case any remnants or copycats groups come around.

He stopped typing and turned towards me. He waved to a nearby chair for me to sit. Soon I sat down, he said, "Welcome. About two years ago, you told me about an empire from an alternate universe planned to invade central Arkansas. You and your forces were successful on stopping them."

Chris thought to himself, "Yet again, you weren't available to help."

New Captain continued, "What surprised me is that our former enemies were trading with this Lonokeon Empire, along with other foes that you faced in the past. I have try to find these traders since you told me about them. However as of recently, I believe I may of got a clue of their whereabouts. There's an underground area in North Little Rock where activities happen late in night. I want you to go there undercover and find out if the employers are connected to our old enemies."

I got up from my chair and said, "Alright, I do it." New Captain smiled and said, "That's good. Let me set up some false papers to get you in the place tomorrow night. Good luck."



Little did I know what actual undercover job was. I now greatly regret it.

The show was about to start in a minute. I have to complete the mission by staying undercover. One mean looking guy approach me from behind and said, "What are you thinking about? We got get ready, so quick dawdling."

I sighed and rolled my eyes as I said to him, "You know what, you can forget this." I reach in into my jacket and pulled out a Nerf gun. I aimed towards his kneecap and shot it. The male stripper grabbed his injured knee and scream in pain.



The audience outside looked puzzled on loud noise. One of them asked, "What was that sound?"

The curtains were pulled aside as I came through them with the injured stripper in my arms. I threw his body into one of the tables. The women from that table backed away and hightail it before he crashed into it. The impact shattered the table into a dozen pieces.

I aimed my Nerf gun into the air and fired a few rounds. The entire audience was screaming and panicking. One of them said, "Watch out, he has a loaded Nerf gun. Run for your lives!" They ran out to the exit

As the crowd clear, the manager of this place come forward looking at me in anger and puzzlement. He was dressed in Dallas Cowboy gear but he was very skinny. He was a dropout in the Dallas Cowboys from what I heard. With him by his side is his bodyguard, who is in a large trench coat and she looks like she's Half-Asian.

The football player asked, "What in world are you doing? Why are you ruining my business?"

I told him, "Are you the accountant that's working for Baddies as well as Evil Dude's army?"

He looked shocked on what I told him, He said, "How you find out abou... Anyways, I'm surprised you found out about my operation. Since both of them are gone nowdays, I was planning to using the funds from this business to create a Neo-Baddie group or something."

Chris thought to himself, Good, I don't have to go undercover since he reveal himself.

The dropout from Dallas said, "Why I'm telling you this? You should pay what you did." He started charging at me. Soon he got near, I kicked him into his chest. The blow sent his body flying and crashed into one of the abandoned tables. The man fell unconscious.

The female bodyguard took off her trench coat and underneath was her in a ninja leotard outfit. She started walking towards me as she pulls out a foam katana. I pulled out my toy lightsaber. We soon clash blades and engage in sword fight for over a minute. At the end, I perform a swing so hard, it knock the weapon out of her hand.

The bodyguard did a backflip to retreat and she then reached into her pocket and pulled out what look like were some shards of glass. The shards' colors were dark purple with a misty-like look inside. She said, "We found these on the battleground where the leader of the Baddies has fallen a few years ago. They are the remnants of his dark energy sword."

She looked down at the shards in her hand and what she did was unsuspected. She swallowed them in her mouth. Soon her eyes turned purple. Her entire hair color was changed into purple as well.

Out of her hands came out with this purple energy whip. She threw it at me, I quickly duck it time to avoid that. I look where her whip hit and saw the eating tables were easily sliced through like a hot knife through butter.

I swing my toy lightsaber at her but she created a energy sword out of her hand which easily cut through my weapon. I don't know why I did that but trying to kill her with a plastic toy was a stupid and dumb idea.

She threw her whip around my ankle and it threw me to the floor. She started dragging me to her as she picked up her foam katana. It seems her energy whips can cut through material but not flesh it seems.

With my broken toy in my hand, I threw it her direction. She saw this coming and quickly summon an energy blade to slice up before it hit her. However this distraction trick of mine worked as I got up on my feet and threw a kick into her stomach.

She recovered from my attack and try to swing her foam katana at me but swing my hand toward her wrist to drive away the blade. I then pick her up and threw her above my head. I turned to looked where she fell and it looked like she landed on top of a broken end of a table leg piercing her through her chest. She was dead.



"HEY!"

I turned who said that. It was one of the male strippers. His stage name was "Jungle King".

He said,  "I can't believe ruined my show. You should die for that!"

He pulled a vial of some icy blue liquid.  He said, "This is a serum we got from the Lonokeon Empire. We supply this to Evil Dude's army to create super soldiers. However, they only use small drops to make one super soldier. I wonder what happen if all is used."

He then open it and drink down the entire liquid.

Suddenly, his entire body was growing. He went from a man that was around my height to 7-foot tall man with humongous muscles. It seem his bones in his body shifted to where spikes are piercing his arms, legs, shoulders. His skull was reformed to where it look like it had a giant antenna.

The monster stomps towards me. I ran back to somehow survive this behemoth. He saw a concrete pillar was blocking his way. He threw his fist at it, causing it to shatter to pieces. Shortly right after, the destruction of the pillar caused the ceiling above fell on top of him, killing him.

I looked on what happen and said, "Wow! That was quite anticlimactic."



Out of nowhere, a rope was tied to my ankles and started pulling me. I shouted, "NOT AGAIN!"

I was dragged into some storage room and I was suddenly hanging from the ceiling.

To my side, a masked mercenary came running at me with a foam sword. I turn my body in time before he stabbed me. I quickly yanked his weapon out of his hand and use it to cut me down. I landed safely on my feet and threw his weapon to the ground.

He was in some sort of black and orange armor that covered him head-to-toe with several belts and pouches on him. He had a helmet that was orange on one side and black on the other. He only had one eye hole on the orange side.

I asked, "Who are you?" The masked man answered, "If you want to know, my stage name is "Big Richard". However, I rather be called The Terminator."

I have heard of Big Richard. According to the others, he was hired a month ago at this place. I never seen this man till now. Something tells me he's more than a stripper that's helping to fund a Neo-Baddie group.

I asked, "The Terminator? Did you stole that name from the Arnold Schwarzengger robot movies."

He looked puzzled, "I never heard of these robot movies. In my universe, Schwarzengger was the guy that fought the Xenomorphs in the Alien movies."

I realized something, "Wait, you said your universe. Then your from the Lonokeon Empire." The masked man said, "Correct. Since the death of the previous emperor, a bounty was placed on your head. Me and several bounty hunters are after you. To find you and fight, I leaked information of this secret strip club, hoping you come here so I can kill you. Seems like my plan is working."

He pulled out a pool noodle and swing at me. I held up my arms to block his attack. He said, "I'm surprised your not hurt." I rolled up my jacket's sleeves to reveal there are metal gauntlets underneath.

He continue swinging his weapon. I had to roll, duck, or dodge to avoid his attacks. Soon there was an opening and I repeatedly punch him over and over in the head and chest area. I finish off my combo by giving a mean right hook, causing his mask to fall off.

I saw grey-hair man with an eyepatch. I was totally shock on the man's face and my skin turned white a little. I asked, "One-Eye? Your alive? But how?" Then it dawned on me, "Never mind. Alternate Universe stuff."

The Terminator said, "Seems you met my counterpart in this universe." He pull something out of his utility belt and then threw a device on my chest. It suddenly shoot out a grappling claw that attach itself to a gas tank that was sitting on a nearby shelf. The claw was now reeling in towards me. To prevent myself getting hit by an upcoming explosion, I threw some paper ninja stars at the gas tank, causing them to explode in mid air.

I took the device off my chest and threw the rope towards the mercenary. It wrapped around his torso. With one tug, I pulled him towards me. I held out my arm soon as he came in contact, which sent him flying. I quickly smash my fist into him to throw the merc into the floor.

He got up and swing his weapon. I block all his hits with my gauntlets. I stopped him by grabbing his weapon with both of my hands and kick him in the stomach. He was forced to let go of his weapon. I slammed the pool noodle on my knee, breaking it into two.

The Terminator threw a smoke bomb into the ground. Soon the smoke cleared, he was nowhere in sight. I looked up and suddenly he was there, ready to slice me in half with his foam sword. I block his weapon with my gauntlets. Soon there was an opening and I performed punches to his face and chest very rapidly.

I grabbed his arm and broke it. This made him drop his foam sword and I picked it up before it hit the ground. Very quickly, I swing to cut his head off.

He is now dead and the mission is over. I sighed since I'm glad I didn't have to humiliate myself doing this stupid undercover mission.


All the damage was repaired overnight, so no one notice that the parking lot had a giant sinkhole from the mutated Jungle King's attack.

Most of the women were upset the stripping business is closed down and they had to look elsewhere. All the male strippers had to get new jobs and started running furniture stores.

According One-Eye, Big Richard, Terminator, or whatever you want to call him, bounty hunters from the other universe will want my head but when they come, I be ready for them.

The End

Return of the Hero: Behind the scenes, facts, and deleted material

If you haven't read the original story. Click here.


Here is the behind the scenes of the final story of the Copper Ring saga. If you guys haven't figure out what the story is a parody of, it's Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. At lease there was a few month difference between these two Chapters rather than a decade.


Dark Magician telling off on the heroes that he shouldn't be treated like he isn't the main feature is based on a scene in the 3rd movie. In the theatrical cut, Treebeard told the good guys that Saruman is locked up and no longer a problem anymore. In the extended cut, Saruman actually appears to them and soon gets stabbed by his lackey and falls to his death.

I can understand why majority of the scenes got cut for time but you think the secondary villain be wrapped up better rather than be treated like he's unimportant figure that's only explained in the background.



Trickster said, "That's good. Imagine he be back again at the end of the journey and causing chaos in my homeland."
That was one big reference to one of the major differences between the films and the books. The book had a chapter where after Sauron was defeated and the hobbits head back to their home. Once they got there, they find out that Saruman has taken over the place. He was killed being backstabbed from his servant. The film on the other hand wraps ups the entire Saruman story at the beginning of the film.


The underground city was originally suppose to be a city somewhere south of Atkins but according to the map on the interwebs, there's only a small town that's actually within Petit Jean Mountain. They don't need to be on the mountain this early in the story. I had to create an underground story real quick.


Some people criticized my treatment towards Swordguy 0. Maybe it's true that I was too harsh. The guy is based on Denethor. In the movie, he was too mean and cruel. He didn't care about his younger son till he all of sudden believed to be dead. From what I heard, he was more complex in the novels. It's been a while since I read them and I mostly remember the main differences. I remember Faramir was a tons more nicer to Frodo and Sam in the book.


In a medieval or fantasy world, lighting fires to send messages across nations works but within my story takes place in modern Arkansas. A simple text would do.

Since I originally begin writing the Copper Ring Saga a decade, that's when the story take place. I also threw in some joke about how cell phones had limited text space it. I could throw in more jokes of that era like boys having dyed spiky hair tips or other stuff but there's no way to fit it in the story.



I so wish I had the female Vulcan cosplayer made when I 1st wrote the 1st chapter of the Copper Ring saga. I had no intention of writing romance scenes and I quickly wrote her in the 2nd chapter to make a funny scene on getting the Cowgirl getting green eyed while Chris was clueless on what's her problem.

So yes, just like J.R.R Tolkien, "Arwen" was a last minute idea.(Whose role greatly expanded in the films) I would of made a scene where the Female Vulcan Cosplayer was kind of disappointed that Chris was more of a Star Wars fan than Trek. Sadly, I couldn't fit the scene anywhere and wasn't seen again till the very very end and the story needed to be wrapped up.



Since I started writing the 2nd Chapter, I always intended to make the Ghost people somehow related to the Halloween Freaks.

Speaking of the Halloween Freaks, they were originally just a simply one time gag villains that attack Kind Boy in the 1st Chapter but as I was continuing writing Chapters 2 and 3. The Halloween Freaks kept coming back and I figure I sort of expand on these villains by sort of giving them a backstory of them and the history of their cult.


Since I started writing the 2nd Chapter, "Shelob" was suppose to be a tiny spider.


Even back then, I wish I did more "magic trick" attacks when I was writing Magician. Thankfully, I wrote some of this stuff in the battle of Russellville.


The feathered dinos were just going to be regular featherless ones but I been joking in the past year how Jurassic World is a terrible movie, simply because there's no feathered dinos. That's a silly reason to hate the movie. I figure why not on making the dinos in the story have feathers. Plus it's funny on how bright and colorful these frighting enemies are.


Gardener's giant white radishes is based on the ability from Super Mario Bros 2. It's fitting since he is after all, a gardener.


Myspace was a thing in back then. I would could put in more jokes like the Cave Dweller looked bored while throwing gang signs or a pic bored looking female Cave Dweller lending over. However I didn't want to overdo it and wanted to quickly write the scene.


Yeah, I included the silly yet catchy song from the animated movies from the late 70s/early 80s. Kind Boy and Gardener would comment on their cartoonish attitude that clashes the with seriousness in the books/live-action movies.


The WWII pilots multiple excuses why they couldn't help the good guys earlier is based on everyone's questions on the eagles in the novels/films. Everyone asked why they didn't help the gang sooner or why they didn't transport them to Mount Doom right away. There were several excuses that were told over the years. Even J.R.R. Tolkien himself explain a little and said they're not a taxi service.


Mutant Fisherman's silly death been planned in my head I 1st wrote the 2nd Chapter.


Sauron's tower falling after the ring's destruction made sense within it's story but within the Copper Ring saga, Evil Dude's place is simply a shabby apartment in modern day Arkansas. His place collapsing wouldn't make sense. I had to thrown in the fireworks cannon to destroy his place.


If you haven't notice, I been teasing on the idea that Kind Boy and Gardener were lovers. It's because they were based on Frodo and Sam. They're suppose to be straight and Sam got married to a girl at the end. However, the way they acted to each other seems like your watching a hobbit version of Brokeback Mountain. Alot the viewers joked on this. Even in the animated movies, there was a scene where the two looked deeply into each others eyes after hearing a romance story. The novels didn't help with it's very dated dialogue where words like gay, queer, and faggot had a completely different meaning back in the day.

I'm not a slash fanfic writer or whatever but two very much seem that they're into each other. Fanfic writers would say otherwise but I never once thought Kirk and Spock as lovers in anyway. It's like comparing Final Fantasy female/female couples. Tifa/Aeris is simply fanfic parings. Fang/Vanille on the other hand looks very believable, even tho nothing about them being lovers has been officially stated.


Chris complaining that Beardguy is a joke based on the ending of Star Wars Episode 4.


I even poke fun of the the movie's endings on top of endings. At four different points, the screen fades out like it ended. Than suddenly we're on a another scene.
