        "Uh, I hate to carp," SkyKnight spoke up from behind his cards.
"But that's not the game we're playing.  You might want to find another
grouper if you're looking for that kind of game.  I'm afraid everybody here
is a card shark, and they'll finnish you off if you're not careful."
        "Oh my God, I think I'm gonna be eel," Nabiki muttered aloud, then
realized what she'd said.  Her face whitened as she realized that she'd
fallen victim to the pun bug.  Immediately, she corked her ears so that she
wouldn't be tempted any further.
        "Are you urchin for a fight?!" the nameless battlesuit asked
belligerently, apparently glaring at SkyKnight.  He waved a hand carelessly.
        "No, I'm sorry.  I never manta imply a thing; I was just giving some
friendly advice."

The Assault Suit grabs its' head. It screams, then falls on the table, 
sparks coming from its' head.

Everyone stares at the suit, unsure of what to do. Suddenly there is a 
flash of light, and a man steps out of it.

"Tsk tsk. You overloaded CyberHulks' cognitive functions. i.e., your 
stupid puns fried his brain."

Skynight glares at the thing, suddenly wary.

"Is that.. is that a *boomer*?"

"Not quite. But close enough" He opens an access hatch on the rear of 
CyberHulks' skull. "CyberHulk is.. an early model of mine. None too bright, 
and a tad rash. Don't tick him off, and you'll probably live."

Nabiki raised an eyebrow. "Is it armed?"

"Yes. But I've removed its' nuclear missiles."

Everyone galres at him "NUCLEAR MISSILES??!?!"

"Mmm-hmm. Bitch to get a permit for, especially after... well, never 
mind. There, that should do it." He closes the hatch, and flips a switch. 
CyberHulk sits up suddenly, and looks around frantically.

"Easy, big guy. Well, my work is done. Maybe I'll see you guys around 
some time."

With that, the mysterious stranger touched a control on his belt. A 
portal opened, and he stepped through. A flash of light, and he was gone.
