Chapter One - After The Show, Into The Madness

 
One day, Nightwish were tired. They had just finished playing at the London Astoria to the best croud they had ever seen. Tuomas the keyboard player was writing poetry and the other members of the band were asleep.

Suddenly, there was a loud commotion out in the hallway. Tuomas slipped on his Mackintosh and his smartest hat...

"Looks like this is a case for Inspecter Tuomas and the Oceanborn Eleven", he said to the empty and uninterested room....

Pausing to finish his poem about a lost fish, he then drew out his notepad, walked into the corridoor, and said: "Ello, ello, ello. What's all this then?" (in clearest Finnish)

He then realised what the commotion was. It was Jukka and one of the fans getting jiggy on Tuomas' keyboard.

"Hey! Get off that it's expensive!" shouted Tuomas and chased them away.

 
Then Marco, who was clearly drunk, stumbled into the room saying; "I'm getting fed up of Tarja pretending to like metal. Just now I gave her a polo and she threw up devil horns and headbanged for an hour!"

Tuomas was not impressed. He knew that Tarja liking metal was a lie, but it kept Nightwish kool with the Kids.

"As punishment for saying that you must clean my keyboards!"

Marco was shocked. "All of them?"

Just then, Tarja came in and said; "Has anyone seen my sister?"

"Which one? The short one or the Evil Twin?" asked Emppu.

 
Inspector Tuomas calmly stolled over to Emppu and asked "Now then, now then. Calm down." [in a perfect Finnish/Scouse cross-over accent] "Tell me mr...er, Emppu. What are you doing here?"

"Oh I'm in the band... remember?"

"Are you the tit with the beard?" enquired the inciteful Inspector Tuomas.

"No. I'm the other guitarist."

"Ah. The gay one."

Inspector Tuomas continued with his enquiries....

 
Emmpu was upset. Tuomas, hat wearing, "ocean soul", closet homosexual, had called HIM gay. He was confused.

 
Just then, Jukka came in and gave the band some devastating news.

"Guys, I'm leaving the band."

A stunned silence had barely begun, before Inspector Tuomas said "Okay."

"Bye," Tarja added.

"It was fun." said Marco.

Emppu was too sexually confused to speak, but he still managed to wave goodbye.

With a slightly discerned look on his face, a slightly bemused Jukka left the band.

 
For good.

 
Suddenly - Jukka burst back in the door shouting:

"APRIL FOOL!!!!!!!!!"

The remaining members of Nightwish failed to turn around.

Only Marco raised his finger slightly and gestured to the calendar on the wall...

 
It was the middle of August after all...

Chapter Two - The One Where Marco Becomes A Superhero

 
"Wow let's make out Tarja" said Emmpu.

"Make her out to be what?" said Tero, looking up from his dictionary/grammar book.

"Fuck off Tero, you cheap hanger-onner" said Jukka, who then proceeded to beat him to death with Marco's hair gel tub.

 
The band were bored so they decided to go meet the fans outside the astoria.

"Oh my god; let's go meet Nudger" said Tarja.

Her new personal assistant (danny144), then bitch-slapped Tarja back into reality, saying "You don't want to hang around with losers like Nudger! Have you heard his latest record?"

"You mean?..." said Tarja.

"YES! Dog noises ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!"

"That man is such a sell-out to his genre," observed Tarja, before head-banging her way through the news which had just come on the radio.

"Good evening. Here is the news. It is now kool to hang around Nudger!"

Just as Tarja was climbing out of the BBC Radio Moshpit she saw Nudger and instantly ran over to him and pretended to have known him for years.

 
Marco suddenly strolled over and said "Here is a lock of my beard nudger. I want you to use it wisely, or if you are in danger, just smell it and I will be by your side with my vodka (water) and my sandals!! Do not Fear Marco is Here!"

And he was off! In a blaze of glory, Tarot cards, and power chords!

Off to fight the mighty Rhapsody in a battle of the cheese...

 
Meanwhile, back in the hotel, Emppu was still not feeling himself.

"I wonder where the other oceansouls are?" said Emppu, as he started to feel himself again. "Let me see... Can I find that oh-so purple guitar of mine, and see how far I can spread my legs apart when me and sweet-cheeks Marco stand next to each other on stage..."

 
Meanwhile, in Middle Earth, Marco is Slaying The Dreamer with his bass.

Take that... Take that...

Suddendly, he senses Nudger sniffing his beard, and rushes to find him - only to find Nudger was being beaten down by Alexi Laiho!

"What the f**k are you doing Alexi!?" Marco exclaimed!

"Yow!" shouted Alexi, before running into The Darkness and kicking their arses.

"Oh cheers," said Nudger. "He was about to abuse me. By the way, Tarja said you're a big geek. Who likes putting his beard into plaits, and sniffing boy's hair."

 
Marco ran off crying to Emppu about these nasty comments Tarja had made about him and seeked some comfort.

"Emppu, oh Emppu," he said - as he broke down on his shoulder and took a drink from his vodka (water) bottle - "I think Tarja knows our secret: She mentioned plaits and sniffing hair..."

"NOOO!!!" Emppu replied. "She cant know," as he pecked sweet-cheeks Marco on the lips.

Chapter Three - The Lord Of The Whims

 
Enter Inspector Tuomas.

"Ello, ello, ello." (chorused his ever-growing fan club).

Tuomas was not impressed. Once was not #1 in Uzbeckistan and damned if he wasn't going to promote the hell out of it until it was!

So the band all got together again and after Marco had bitchslapped Tarja, they decided to release Nightwish Clam Flavoured Toothpaste.

 
However, Jukka was alergic to the toothpaste, and he screamed "It burnses!! It burnses!!" as he fell to the floor. He then realised he'd tasted this somewhere before. "This tastes like the Children of Bodom Alexisticks... Only this is missing a solo - We should make Jukkasticks!!! Get Oceansouls?!"

"Get it?!" he said to his bandmates, as they looked at him in awe.

So off they went to the person who makes all that shite Nightwish stuff and she agreed.

"Wow, Jukka. Aren't we a smart boy today?!" said the person who makes all that shite stuff. Jukka smiled as she patted him on the head. "Well done. Have a sticker."

 
Jukka blushed and took off his bandana with attached hair piece.

Inspector Tuomas took out his magnifing glass for closer inspection, as he gasped at the sigh of Jukkas baldy head.

"What is this Jukka?!! You are false Metal!!! You don't have long hair!!!" Tuomas continued.

"But, but..." protested Jukka.

"No 'but's Mr Jukka," warned Superintendant Tuomas (who had just been promoted by a passing 1000yr old infant [also giving him an idea for a song]), "and anyway," Tuomas continued, "didn't you leave the band?"

"Tuomas is right," warbled Tarja (for she was doing her vocal warmups that Tuomas had taught her); "you need to wait a year to keep the public in suspense - THEN we can reform with you again."

"Okay," sighed Jukka. And promptly left the hotel, setting out across the plains of Middle-London, on a year long quest to pass the time.

 
Whilst A Long Awaited Party began at the hotel, celebrating Jukka's departure, Jukka Baggins set out on a quest of the highest parody...

"Wait Master Baggins!" came a girl's voice from behind him.

"Shove off Tuomas!" he shouted.

"Up yours, pointy-chin! It's me Tarja! I want to come too since I imagine I'll get paid for it!"

Jukka was not impressed. Tarja was wearing a Manowar shirt and Kappa trousers.

 
"Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be... Lead Female Vocals in A Metal Band," announced Tarja.

"Sssh, Tarja," hinted Superintendent Tuomas. "And stop quoting non-related threads on the highly under-rated Oceanborn Forum."

"Yeah," added Marco; "if you don't stop acting like you are a real metal head, I'll get my good mate Sakari to BUST YOUR ASS!!"

"Bust my?" quoth Tarja.

"ASS!!!!" Screamed the other members of Nightwish in unison.

"Wow, that's the first time we've all come in at the same time!" commented an unexpectedly returning Jukka Baggins.

Emppu chose this precise moment to come out of the closet and throw it at Jukka.

 
Splat! A direct hit with the novely custard pie!

The whole band laughed. Emmpu was just so funny!

"I love you Tarja" said Tuomas.

 
There was a horrific silence as the rest of the band didn't know where to look. Jukka looked at Marco. Marco looked at Emmpu. Emmpu looked at the bottom of Jukka's chin.

"Man, that IS pointy!" he said. "Reminds me of home..." wailed Emppu.

At which point, all the band members burst into tears - remembering they were far from their homeland of Lillipilulipililandolilliplin.

"Oh how I miss the barren wastes of our homeland," wavered the lovestruck Tuomas; "We must play another gig in Bradford!"

 
At which point (in order to speed along the story and change location) the whole entourage of Nightwish clambered into their tourbus and headed off to another new and more exciting location...

 
(Apart from Tarja, who flew with Lillipilulipililandolilliplin Airways).
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Four - Sex, Lies and Incomprehensible B*llocks

 
The Nightwish tourbus ground to a halt as the sun dipped below the horizon. An ill moon was rising as the night closed in around them and somewhere in the distance a wolf howled.

Tuomas stuck his head out the door and frowned at the sight before him.

They appeared to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. All around there was nothing but rolling hills as far as the eye could see. The only clue to their whereabouts was a signpost for Butthole lane which swung in the breeze.

Tuomas turned the map of London upside down, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance but it still wasn't any clearer. There was definitely no Harrods, no venue and no hotel here.

"Oh arse!" said Tuomas as he hopped out onto the narrow country track, hugging himself against the cold wind and stamping his feet for effect.

A lone weathered sheep raised it's head briefly from munching stalky grass to study the irate keyboard player before wandering off across the windswept plains, in a stiff legged run.

The others watched from the windows and sniggered.

 
Suddenly Marco jumped up and pointed, a slow grin spreading across his face.

"Look over there! It's Tarja's plane!!!!!"

Quickly they sped off after it leaving a rather confused Tuomas by the road.

He ran after them for a while but gave up because he couldn't be arsed.

"Sod them! I'll just stay here and go solo!"

 
He walked all night until he came to a small farmhouse, he walked upto it and knocked on the door.

Only to find that it was infact a swanky porn factory, he used his celebraty status to wangle himself in and get a sneak preview of Attack Of The Trianglular mamaries as the film begains the ladies come out he looks, stunned for a moment he shouts JUKKA its you into Layla Laydem cleverage.

 
Meanwhile...

 
Emmpu got a splinter, as he thumbed furiously through Tero's grammar book trying to make sense of the previous paragraph.

Baffled, he took a large swig of vodka and extracted the splinter using a nearby London Astoria as leverage.

After a double-take, Marco screamed: "What the f**k are we doing back here?! Didn't we just play this venue?!"

"Never mind that, what am I doing in this scene?!" enquired Tuomas, who should've been lost in a barn, starring in a cheap porn remake of 'Over The Hills And Far From Gay'.

 
Alarmed, Tarja's plane touched down outside the Astoria and the band piled into the venue, only to find that it was - in fact - a portal to another dimension...

 
As one, Nightwish entered the portal...
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Five - Sami-1000: The Revenge Of The Bass(ist)

 
Nightwish emerged in a dark, cavernous underworld which lead into a narrow tunnel. Water dripped from the roof of the cave and an eerie wind whispered through the labyrinth.

The five stood at the mouth of the tunnel and looked at each other, Marco eventually voicing what was on all of their minds.

"Who wants to go first?"

His question was greeted with silence.

"Let it be Emppu as he's small and expendable."

A disgruntled Emppu folded his arms and frowned.

"No! I've been in this band from the start, it should be Marco who goes first!"

"No way! None of you other guys can sing, and besides I might get stuck if the tunnel gets any smaller."

The others nodded in agreement and Emppu was hastily pushed to the front, and began leading the way along the winding passage, feeling his way along the cold, slimy rough stone walls as his eyes adjusted to the darkness.

 
Ahead of them there came a low rumbling which made them freeze in their tracks. Something was moving towards them, something large enough to make the ground shake.

Jukka cursed under his breath wishing he had his night vision camera with him. He prodded Emppu in the back.

"Can you see anything?"

"I think it's the beast."

"What?!"

"Yeah; the beast," said Emppu "you know - the one from the song we do..."

"But what can he want?" cried Tuomas "He's already got a song about the beauty of him?!"

"I think he's pissed off..." guestimated Emppu. "He's pissed off coz bits of the story aren't being put in bold..."

Tarja gasped.

 
But this was due to an entirely different reason - A drop of warm liquid had hit the back of her neck.

Looking upward at the roof, it seemed to swim and shift above them.

"Eek" She said.

Everybody looked up in suprise.

 
Slowly, ever so slowly, the roof began to bulge toward them, in a big slow-motion dripping motion.

As it came closer, all could see it was composed of a metalic yellow viscous liquid, which was dripping small drops at an increasing rate.

As these drops hit the floor, they flowed toward each other, in an omnious manner, forming together in one big pool, which took on a shape they had all once known as...

...Sami!

 
Grinning a diabolic grin and stepping forward, Sami said; "Hi gang! Any chance of letting me back into the band?"

Marco screamed "NOOOO!!!!" and promtply sliced Sami in half with a guitar string.

However the two halfs of Sami moulded together again, much like the T-1000 from Terminator 2s so the group ran down the tunnel, until they came to the edge of a dark river.

 
A ferry stood docked at the bank. A grim looking ferryman stood idly by.

"Have you all remembered your pennies?" chuckled Tuomas.

Which was ironic. Because it was in fact THE river Styx.

 
"I wish we'd stop travelling through our discography in a parrallell dimension," said Emppu.

"I wish you'd learn to spell 'parallel'," said Tero (who was still lumbering around after the band, dictionary/grammar book in hand)

"I wish I knew what happened to Tuomas' cheap porn debut," whined the now re-instated Jukka.

"I wish I had an angel," said Marco. For comic effect.

"I wish we were all back in the real world," said Tarja, who magically clicked her heels together and the band was instantly transported away from Planet Hell, to somewhere far worse...

...Disneyland!
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Six - Mickey Mouse Stories

 
"Oh Crap" said Tuomas.

Everyone then waited for him to rope a tacky link to a Nightwish song in, but he didn't. He was fed up of being the comic relief.

Eventually Jukka noticed that they didn't have any tickets for Disneyland. Even Tarja screaming "But I'm famous!" at the security guards didn't work.

 
"Mwahaha! I sent you here, fools!" came a somewhat devilish voice from behind them.

The band span around (Tarja span around twice for extra effect), and saw Sami again.

"I challenge Marco to a duel!" he exclaimed.

 
As both bassist whipped out their enourmous basses, that Scottish guy from ITV's retro-classic saturday night entertainment show Gladiators turned up:

"Marco - you will go on my first whistle. Saimi - you will go on my second whistle."

"Contenders! RRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAADDDDDDDDDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!"

And with a short blow on his whistle, the Scottish referre disappeared in a cloud of Bare Grace Misery - Because the narrator had taken on the role of slipping in pointless humour, as Tuomas was being a mardy ass.

 
The bass player duel began...

...but then everyone realised that bass solos SUCK!

It was fortunate that Nudger and Spellbound were there, though! They'd both brought their keytars, and they started shredding over the duelling bases.

 
Marco, meanwhile, decided to see just how gay Tuomas is...

 

At this point in the forum, a whole 21 hours pass without no contribution to the story! That's a long time story-fans!!!


 
...by hooking him up with Nudger (of Nudger fame) - the worlds greatest keytar player; runner up in the Northern leg of the 'i'm a camp bastard' awards; and world-reknowned fan-fiction story ruiner, (who uses his "[Key character], decides to see just how gay [Key character] is..." routine to kill a fan fiction story dead).

 
MEANWHILE.

 
Tero (of dictionary/grammar book fame) was wondering where his beer girls had got to, and why they hadn't contributed to the story.

In order to provoke some sort of other reaction to the fan story, The Rasmus walked in, and decided to wait In The Shadows, ready to pounce on the next unlucky victim of the Nightwish Fan Fiction.

[#I'll be watching, I'll be waiting...#]

It was at that point that they realised that they sounded like a bunch of rapists.

"No change there then," said a contraversial passer-by, who wishes to remain annonymous.

 
At which point - for no apparent reason - David Boreanaz walked into the room and tripped over.

"Oh well...," said Tuomas - with a great big grin on his face:

"ANGELS FALL FIRST..."

With that final and desparate attempt to inject some humour into the Fan Fiction story, Marco FINALLY found out how GAY Tuomas is.
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Seven - All's Fair In Love And War. And In Hope; Naturally.

 
Back in Tarja's dressing room (because - hey - we ALL want to be in there...):

Tarja was enjoying the fact that danny144 wasn't there.

She was doing a crossword - She liked doing them because they make her think.

"Yes, Tarja has a wanderlust" said Tuomas, with a hopeful smile on his face.

 
"Right guys, we're going to Sheffield! Home of Nudger and...The Sheffield Arena!" shouted Emmpu. Everyone cheered.

"Where exactly are we going?" asked Tuomas.

"Well, checking this website has shown me that there is a place there called Hope. We're going just north of there."

"You mean...we're going Higher than Hope?" asked Tuomas, stifling a girlish giggle, thankful that no-one had noticed his sly puns...

 
Suddenly, Spellbound burst through the door, keytar redied, and shouted "Woooooooooooo! Danny's back!!!"

Tarja sighed, because she was sure the endless sex with danny144 was ruining her voice...

 
Ignoring the frailty of the situation, Marco clubbed Tuomas within an inch of his life, so that he would stop making such silly jokes about their discography.

"Shut up, you silly girl of a man," Marco cried, "I mean - the passage about Planet Hell and the 'Angel Falls First' line were sublime. Hell - even the play on words for your now seemingly forgotten porn debut was quite good. But all this nonsense about 'Higher Than Hope' is getting a bit gay - a bit like Emppu!"

Emppu blushed, because he thought his sexually confused past was forgotten. However, he redeemed his smile when he thought of the kind picture the band had posted on his faviroute Oceanborn forum.

When he became the tallest member of the group, all his wishes had finally come true.

Yes...

He was the...

...Wishmaster!

 
"Right stop that!" yelled Jukka. "I've had enough!"

"Oooooo," camped Emppu "you're not going to leave the band again, are you?!!"

"Oooo," mused Tero. He was currently checking the validity of the verb 'to camp' used in the previous scentence.

"No - I'm going to STAY with this band," yelled Jukka, "and you are ALL going to stop making stupid song references as bad jokes!!!"

"He's right," said Marco. "It is very stupid."

The band members then formed a pact to never quote their songs out of context again, for the sole purpose of a cheap laugh.

 
All except Tarja, of course. Who - at that point - looked up from her crossword and said:

"Guys - Fifteen down. 'Road to the elven city.' Any ideas?!"

"Guys?...."

 
An interesting noise followed, which suddenly prompted danny144 to run naked into the room shouting:

"I'm ready Tarja!!!!!!"

An even more ghastly silence then followed...

 
Until danny144 woke up, naked, underneath a cow.

Hmm he thought. I must have been to a Mayhem gig.

 
Meanwhile, Tarja had finished her crossword. She finished just in time to visit the dentists to have a crown and a bridge removed from her teeth.

"Tarja is now Crownless" stated Tuomas - who had immediately forgotten the previous pact - before being beaten about the head by Jukka.

 
Suddenly, a great thunderclap sounded in the sky. Everyone looked up and gasped. A great Dragon was descending from the sky. Tarja cried.

"Don't worry Tarja, I'll be your Sword and your shield" said Tuomas.

"TUOMAS!" screamed Jukka "that's not even our song!!"

Tuomas Apologised.

 
The dragon started to growl and...

...was unexpectedly eaten by a giraffe.

Yes, danny144 - using the power of purest mIRC, had killed the aforemention dragon, with a deft use of his scripts.

This was a day that would live in infamy.

"Oh, Danny!" yelled Tarja "You ARE my hero! All is forgiven!"

And with that - they were off. Off into the back dressing room, for a quick 'embrace', then to work on Tarja's voice.

 
Indeed for a bit of Passion and the Opera.

 
OW!

OW! OW! OW!

Apologies, story-fans. But that was the noise of your dear narrator being clubbed over the head by a number of the lead characters!
 

RIGHT! That's it!

 
With a deft sudden improvisation, the narrator send Nightwish back in time, so they could experience life before they were famous.

When the characters were re-introduced in the story, all visions of fame and fortune were gone. No sexual deviancy, no discography. No really cool boyfriends - indeed no Nightwish...
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Eight - Grand Finale: Pirates, Ponies and Piss-Poor Puns

 
We resume our story around a campfire in deepest Finland; in mid-July, 1996:

Tuomas had just finished cooking a marshmellow over a roaring fire. He was there, as was this small bloke, some idiot who plays the base, old pointy-chin and some lass he quite fancied.

"THAT'S IT I'M LEAVING THE BAND" screamed the bass dolt, storming off.

Enter another bass playing oddity, this time with a pwitty beard.

 
After everyone was aquanited, Tuomas had a brilliant idea: "Let's form a trip-trance band!"

"Tarja - you do beat box.

Jukka - you can do all the weird trancy sound effects.

New guy Marco - you can do the repetitively high vocal line - something about castles... in the sky.

I'll actually play all the stuff on my keyboard(s) (I plan to get another seven soon...)

and Emppu? You can be the tit at the front who prances around trying to look cool. Okay?"

 
The group around the campfire seemed to nod in some sort of agreeance.

"Right - now we need a name for this trip-trance revoloution," said Tuomas. "Any ideas? Anyone?"

"I know," said Emmpu, "Let's call ourselves Wish for Pain, Death for Night."

Tuomas and the others nodded in agreement.

"Oh!" said Tarja "I know, let's shorten it to Nightwish!"

Tuomas and the others threw buring marshmellows at Tarja.

"Don't be fucking stupid" shouted Marco. "What sort of crappy emo punk rnd gansta rap pop hip hop bop band calls themselves Nightwish?!"

Tarja burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I just..."

"You just nothing" barked Tuomas, much like a dog, "Your out the band! Marco, put on a bra!"

 
Marco cheered. But Tarja was plotting to...

 

'Once' again, story-fans, we were kept in suspense for a painful 23 hours, until the story was dutifully continued!


 
...ressurect the Oceanborn Fan Forum Story.

 
"One day, Tarja and her pony friends were skipping down the lane," dictated Tarja; "when - all of a sudden..."

"...all of a sudden: Tarja whips out an AK-74 and blows the stupid woosy ponies away," Tarja paused, looking at the stunned faces of the other band members that had gathered around the fire to hear her story.

Then - a load of dead ponies appeared out of nowhere (presumably stopping to ask Tero to research the military hardware AK-74 - the dyslexic's machine gun of choice).

"BARBECUE!" Marco shouted, tearing off a piece of one of the ponies, and putting it on the fire.

"Well; Bless The Child!" Tuomas said. Before getting piled on by the rest of the band members because he made a pun out of one of their songs again.

 
Five minuites later, Tuomas sat in the rusty iron barred cage that the others had locked him in. He sat watching the others eat the pony meat.

"I want some pony meat!" he cried ravonous with hunger...

When - all of a sudden - a group of ponies came out of no where and started to hoof the other band members on the head until the were unconscious.

"MISTER TUOMAS" they shouted: "WE KNEW YOU LOVED US."

Tuomas realising he was scared of a little pony started to cry in his cage because he's a big wimp.

The Ponies freed Tuomas and brought him back to Ponyville.

 
Meanwhile the other band members were regaining consciousness and thought tuomas was to blame so they set out on a journey to find him.

 
Meanwhile - in Ponyville - the Ponies were busy teaching Tricia spelling and grammar, when the rest of Nightwish piled in.

"Guys, when the ponies hit me alot they broke my wooden leg, and I need it fixed. Who can I get for help?" said Emmpu.

"The Carpenter" said Tuomas.

Everyone threw stuff at him. Including the ponies.

"Well, now we're stuck in Ponyland with only Emmpu's peg leg and a pack of juicy fruit" said Tarja.

 
Suddenly, Mofo burst in, feat. guest keytar player Nudger, and immediately fell down a nasty looking pit.

The fall killed them all.

 
Instantly.

 
"Ah well, that really was Two For Tragedy," sighed Tuomas - a tear gleaming in his eye.

 
And no-one hit out at him, because it was indeed a great tragedy. And tragedies are what bring huge groups of people together.

And then makes them want to kill OTHER huge groups of people.

And so on, and so on - Until we all die.

 
"That is sad," said Emppu the pirate, who was reading the story whilst hopping about on his wooden leg.
"Oh, and has anyone got a spare parrot?"

A now mightily bereaved Marco piped up saying: "I could sit on your shoulder if it helps," before bursting into tears.

"Awww, there their Marco," comforted Tarja.

Blinking back tears, Tero consulted the "There/Their/They're" appendix to his Dictionary/Grammar Book.

 
In a bid to lighten the mood, Tuomas prepared to shoot himself, but no-one seemed too bothered, so he got stopped.

However, catching onto the joke, Jukka shot Tuomas and - just before he closed his eyes - Tuomas whispered out the immortal lines:

 
"Jukka - thank you. You are a true Kinslayer."

 
And with that... Tuomas breathed his last.
 

Back To The Top

Chapter Nine - The Loose Ends At The End (And That's Just The Writers)

 
Immediately, Marco leapt into action:

"Okay, company. What the fock we do now? Play an instrument? Or we grind up Tuomas body, sell as wholesale with the left-over pony meat, and go do some shows?"

"But how does the Nightwish Fan Fiction Story carry on without its lead detective/light relief?!" wailed Tarja.

"Arr, guys," voiced Emppu the midget pirate; "methinks I have a plan..."

"...let's clone Tuomas," Emppu finished, and a science lab apeared out of thin air.

 
Five hours later, Tuomas walked out of the science lab.

"Oh god! IT'S back!" Tarja sighed, looking rather unninterested in the story.

"Oh don't be that happy to see me!!!" Tuomas said sarcasticaly, walking over to her.

"Not YOU, you overdressed whimp who cries at ponies," she said pointing up into the air; "THAT!"

 
The rest of the band looked up to see the big dragon that they thought had been eaten bearing down on them.

"Aaaaaahhh foooooooook!!!" Marco said.

"Never fear - EMPPU's here!!!" Emppu shouted, and stabbed the dragon in the eye with his wooden leg.

The dragon landed on its back and died.

 
"BARBEQUE!" Marco shouted, and was quickly shut up by Tuomas' fist slamming into his face.

"You only think with your stomach," he said, looking up to the sky to see stormclouds aproaching.

 
Just then, SorrowSinger walked around the corner and immediatly tried to chat up Tarja.

It was working until danny144 walked in and clobbered sorrowsinger with a skunk. Of Oceanborn fame.

"That's my finace - bitch!" implied danny144 "You should read the whole story before trying to cut in on my lovely Tarja..."

Tarja then pulled a face...

 
Danny144's face to be precise!

 
Then, realising in a gasping horror that he hasn't been posting the story in bold for a while, danny144 immediately pretended to be drunk and post rumours about Nudger's obsession with icelandic lollipops.

 
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth:

 
NUDGER KILLED THE THREAD SINCE ITS OLD NOW.

 
"Why is everyone TALKING LIKE THIS?" wondered Tarja.

"I hear that Nudger got back from his Icelandic holiday and decided to be a lollipop-sucking spoilsport," said the ever-witty Jukka.

A tense moment passed.

"This looks like a case for... INSPECTOR TUOMAS!!!!" giggled Tuomas, in a girlish glee.

 
"Fuck you all," announced Nudger, and proceeded to do so.
