(As we last left off, the protector of gophers everywhere, The Gopher has 
smashed his way into the Tendo Basement to punish the atrocity committed 
by Virgo and Allegra as they try to force the Fanfic ML to C&C...  Virgo 
wishes to not confront the furry defender, but Allegra, after years of 
neglect from her parents and being really ticked off because she missed 
Babaylon 5 the other day, decided otherwise as she opened fire on the 
Gopher with her grenade launcher...)

	Allegra stared coldly at the Gopher from across the room.  A 
strand of smoke from her discharged weapon floating lazily into her view.
The Gopher merely stared back, daring her to do something.  She decided 
to move.  Allegra dived behind the couch as plasma blast took out the 
coat stand behind her.  Rolling to a halt, she reholstered the grenade 
launcher in favor of a faster shooting, double-barreled shotgun.  A few more 
plasma blasts destroyed the couch, but Allegra was already gone.  The Gopher
took aim at the air borne target as she twisted her body and opened fire.  
The Gopher dived to the right as what was left of the door frame was reduced 
to toothpicks.  Allegra landed by the TV and the Gopher came to a halt 
behind the computer desk.
	"Give it up, 'Crombie!  I live here!  I know where everything is!"
The shotgun spat out two spent cylinders and Allegra brought the gun level.
"You can't move a chair without me noticing!"  She fired into the desk.  
The wood exploded outward.  The computer, no longer having a desk, 
crashed into the floor and shattered, sparks flying out from the screen.  
	(That's not right...  What the...?!  AH!)
	The Gopher was not there!  An ominous feeling flashed through her 
as she snapped the gun behind her.  A furry paw grabbed the barrel and 
flung it far from her.  The barrel of the plasma rifle pointed down at 
her head.
	"It's over..." the Gopher simply said.
	"Never!"  The faceplate snapped shut and the back thrusters of 
her armor kicked in, propeling her forward.  The plasma shots scored 
on her faceplate and chest sending shattered pieces of armor in all 
directions before Allegra's armored body slammed into the furry body.  
The plasma rifle went flying.  Both scrambled for it...  One hand closed 
over it and the other's owner spat out a curse as the barrel was brought 
about...

Musica: Um... Are we allowed to do this on the Fanfic ML?  Are we 
	including this scene in Rising Star?
Allegra: Wait a minute!  Who got the gun?!  WHO?!  ORICK!! 
Virgo(still holding the gopher to her chest): Isn't it scary when Allegra 
	is battle raging?  BTW, Zodiak!  Can I keep him?(indicates 
	the gopher she's holding.)
Zodiak(stunned): I'm gonna be paying this off till 2035...
