Tick Tock, Arachdok

Bedge tried to undo Jacky's ropes, but to no avail. He decided instead to just carry the entire wooden stake over his shoulder, which was a bit heavy.

"I'll getya outta here, 'ooman." Bedge snarled to Jacky.

"Thanks, Bedge..." Jacky said, beginning to regain his senses from the numbing poison.

As they neared the border of the woods, they heard a shriek.

"The man is gone! They're onto us! Find him!" Jacky's GELF wailed.

"Smegging smeg!" Justin cried.

Bedge tried to run, but the weight of Jacky slowed him down, and he fell over. The GELF and the spider came and stood above them.

"Thank goodness." the GELF commented "It's only the machine. I thought the menfolk were escaping. I'll leave them to you, oh great Arachdok."

The Arachdok stepped forward and began to secrete a drool. It was going to savor Jacky as an appetizer since he hadn't been made fat. Bedge desperately reached for anything he could use to defend the group, and grasped the stick given to them by Jacky of the future. With a loud smack, the stick smashed into the face of the GELF, snapping it off, and leaving a small bit of stick still in Bedge's hand. The GELF fell over, unconscious. The Arachdok turned its sights on Bedge and opened its mighty jaws to rip him into pieces, so Bedge casually poked it in the eye. The sorry beast ran away, doing only what could be considered crying.

"We must warn the others!" Bedge stated. He hoisted up Jacky and began running out to the field, where he came to meet Seymour and his GELF. Bedge held the tiny stick with remnants of spider-eye on it to her as a threatening weapon.

"You'd best be stayin' back from filthy 'ooman Seymour!" he warned.

She had no intention of hurting him, but she complied in stepping back.

"Seymour, this place ain't what it seems! These wimmin! They're-" Bedge began.

"Secretly pleasure GELFs who are trying to fatten us up to feed us to a large spider?" Seymour finished.

"No! they're--- well, yes, actually." Bedge responded. "How didya know?"

"Shelly here told me." Seymour motioned to the GELF and she blushed.

"Shelly?" Justin asked, giggling.

Seymour then noticed the tired, weak, malnourished Jacky.

"Good lord, what's happened to him?" he asked.

"He figured out his GELF's game and she tried to torture and feed him to a spider for 5 days." Justin replied.

"That makes sense." Seymour replied. "We should get off this planet before it blows up."

"BLOWS UP?!" Shelly shrieked.

Seymour rolled his tongue around in his mouth, since he forgot to tell her.

"Yes... I'm sorry, but... we came here from one week in the future and found a planet in a spot where it wasn't a week later. Your planet is going to..." Seymour couldn't finish.

"Oh..." Shelly said, unable to say any more.

"We can't wait for the planet to blow up. We have to blow it up ourselves."Justin stated.

"WHAT?!" Shelly angrily yelled.

"WHAT?!" Seymour yelled alongside her.

"Yeah. See, Jacky from the future told us that we were gonna be the cause of the planet's destruction since it was the only way to not crash into the planet and die." Justin explained.

Seymour silently decided to not ask for clarification.

"What will happen to us?" Shelly asked.

"Jacky didn't tell us." Bedge responded.

"What on Earth will we do?" asked Seymour.

"Ferst thing's ferst, we need to find dem parts to get the Dwarf to function." Bedge explained.

"Then let's call Cassandra and ask for the materials!" Seymour suggested.

"We can't. She won't respond. We've tried. Jacky-- Future Jacky-- he says she's in trouble and that we'll find out all about it when we get back." Justin replied.

"We should send someone to go ask her while she's up there." Seymour suggested.

Seymour looked around and saw Plisken under a waterfall with one of the GELFs. He went over and moved between him and the GELF to get his attention.

"You. Thomas. Go in a Blue Midget and figure out what materials we need from Cass." Seymour demanded.

"But I-" Plisken tried.

"Do it now. I'm your superior."

Plisken sighed and obediently went into the Blue Midget, flying off into the distance.

"There. This should work. We'll have the materials in no time." Seymour smirked.

Suddenly, Future Jacky returned.

"Just letting you know that this plan fails miserably. He's gonna be stuck up there for a while, plus he forgot his watch so you can't call him back." Future Jacky stated.

"You're an awful lot of smegging help! Why not tell us something useful?" Justin barked at him.

"That's why I'm here. You won't be seeing me again until its time for me to go back, I assure you, but I need to tell you the materials." F-Jacky explained.

"That'll cause a time paradox, I'm sure of it." Seymour remarked.

"Surprisingly, no. I'm supposed to tell you the materials so that you can go back to the ship and eventually send me back to tell you the materials."

Everyone was confused, so he explained.

"Time travel doesn't make sense. Just go with it."

"Fine. So what do we need?" Seymour commented.

"You need to get the Arachdok's brain." F-Jacky said.

"WHAT?!" everyone yelled.

"The Arachdok's brain makes a great electrical conductor. It'll provide a boost to the ship to replace the capacitor long enough to find a new one-- problem solved." F-Jacky explained.

"You're going to KILL the Arachdok?" Shelly replied, shocked.

"They're going to have to." F-Jacky said, before disappearing.

"We're going to need some help for this." Seymour said. "Let's go round up the others."
-----------------------------------------------------
Will the others be snapped out of their hypnotic state before it's too late? Has Seymour found true love? How and why did the Huzzards begin attacking? How will Jelena return? How will the planet be destroyed within the week? Will the GELFs survive the explosion? Why do they offer people to a giant spider, anyway? Where do they even get a giant spider on a planet inhabited by pleasure GELFs? What does Plisken do when he's stuck on the ship? Why is he stuck there for 5 years if the crew plan to make it back within the week? Why are you still asking so many questions?
