Encounter at Farfetched
Plot Synopsis
An omnipotent being transports the crew to a fantasy world where Captain Smith and his evil twin can fight it out over the fair princess.
Plot Summary
The crew are shocked when the ship refuses to move in spite of fully functional engines. They quickly discover that an omnipotent being has boarded the ship and is interested in them. After Johnny attempts to prove that the being is indeed omnipotent being introduces himself as ; and while Captain Smith thinks a better name would be in order the name stands. ;'s entire purpose is to make the current conflict with Rob more interesting and he does this by transporting the crew to a fantasy realm (in truth the planet Hyrule, but the crew is unaware of this).
The crew finds themselves dressed in medieval garb and after much protestation succumbs to the fact that they are trapped there and will have to figure things to escape their predicament. Bob is quite pleased with the fact that he will have to defeat his evil twin to escape, however. They quickly discover Rob's castle and that it will require a particular sword to gain entry. That sword requires three jewels to access it and thus the Captain, Marty and Red set out to find the artifacts and the sword while they others stay in the village to try and learn what they can about the situation. Those who stayed in the village run into a variety of problems.
The Captain, Marty, and Red quickly find their way through the challenges and obtain the sword which turns out to complain a great deal. Luckily they reached the sword before another hero got to it first. Sword in hand the crew sneaks their way into the castle with the help of Gary and the confusion of Garret. Making their way to the tower they must finally catapult the Captain into the tower where he can face his evil twin and rescue Shauna.
After some verbal sparring the Captain and Rob set out to spar with their swords. Rob gains the upper hand and pushes Bob over the edge of the tower, but at the last second a dragon appears and ; ends it all, having had all of his entertainment. He leaves Bob with no closure but with a sword.
A short public service announcement from Boba Fett follows about the problems with dead beat dads.
