Chapter 4

"And now, let's pick what's on the monitors", said Zhondra.

Ubu pressed a button, and the various monitors showed various weird programs.

"Hey, isn't that weird science?", asked Digit, pointing at a monitor which showed a scientist.

"And now I am going to scientiffically transform this math book into an economics book", said the science.

Another monitor showcased a cockroach comedian.

"And now it's time for Adam the Adding Cockroach Comedian!", said the annoucner.

"Okay, what do you get when you make one and one?", said Adam, "You get two!"

Laughter and applause was heard.

"Now, what do you get when you make two and two?", asked the cockroach, "You get four!"

The audience laughed harder.

"Oh, I can't believe that audiences like that cockroach", said Fozzie, "I'm a lot funnier than he is."

"I can't believe how right you actually are", said Leon.

A few monitors showed a program in which a lit bomb ate several lit dynamite sticks, and whent he bomb blew up, the Tv screens blew up as well.

"You people are my heros", said Gonzo to the Gorillia Television crew.

"It's our pleasure", said Ubu.

"Well, you are not going to get away with this!", said Kermit.

"Oh, yeah?", said Zhondra, who pulled a lever and zapped Kermit into the Gorilla Television set.

"What am I doing here?", asked Kermit.

"You're going to be dissected", said Ubu, who put a big glass jar over Kermit.

"Hey, give back my frog!", said Miss Piggy, and turned around and saw another monitor with them on, at a lower level. Miss Piggy karate-chopped that television, and the Gorillia Television room shook along with the television.

"This means war", said Zhondra, who zapped Miss Piggy into the Gorillia Television area, behind bars.

"Oh, dear!", cried Vicki, "We forgot to switch to digital!"

Chapter 5

Ubu soon sent Kermit and Piggy into a jail cell with six TVs on the wall.

"Well, we are alone", said Piggy, "I guess this isn't a total loss..."

Kermit gulped.

"We have decided to torture you differently than we had planned", said Ubu.

"OH yeah?", said Kermit, "How?"

"See all those TVs?", asked Ubu, "We're going to have you two watch footage of pigs getting slaughtered, and frogs getting dissected!"

"Noooooo!", screamed Kermit and Piggy in horror.

The TVs then turned on. The most gruesome footage imaginable was shown.

Back at Muppet Central...

"Okay, gang", said Vicki, "We're going to have to go to Gorillia Television and rescue Kermit and Miss Piggy."

"Oh, I hope this is easy", said Leon.

"I hope it is funny", said Fozzie.

"And I hope it is cute", said Bean.

"Oh, brother...", said Leon.

"Well, I've got a tomtom installed in my brain", said Digit, "I'll get us there!"

Zhondra then appeared on some monitors.

"Well, I suppose that you all want to rescue the frog and the pig", said Zhondra.

"Of course we do", said Digit.

"Well, I've upgrated the signal beams", said Zhondra, "And now I cna send you all to other programs!"

Chip turned the switch, and they were all sent into different TVs.

Gonzo and Leon were sent into a TV showcasing a room full of daisies.

"Man, this is too weird", said Gonzo.

"I know", said Leon, "And there aren't even any chickens in bikinis."

Fozzie and Bean were sent to the set of The StoryTeller.

"h, we've got customers", said The StoryTeller.

"Hello there", said the dog.

"Oh, what a cute doggie", said Bean.

"I am not a cute doggie", protested the dog.

"I've got plenty of stories to tell", said the StoryTeller.

"Oh, well, uh...", said Bean, "I guess we can stay."

"How can you say that?", asked Fozzie.

"With my mouth", said Bean.

Pepe and Lindberg were sent into a card maze.

"Wow, this maze is full of cards, okay", said Pepe.

"Oh, tell me about it", said Lindbergh, "And I don't have my tools with me."

Vicki, Digit, and Waldo were all transported to a black and white sitcom.

"Oh, this looks like a rerun", said Vicki.

"A bad case of the reruns", said Digit.

A husband walked through the door.

"Honey, I''m home!", said the husband, who then noticed the three Muppets in the room.

"Who are you, tresspassers?", aske dthe husband.

"No, we're trapped in here", said Waldo.

The wife then walekd in.

"Oh, we've got company", said the wife.

"But not for long", said the husband, who got out a powersaw and started chasing after them.

"I'll get the other one", said the wife.

Waldo turned into a chainsaw and chased after the husband.

Chapter 6

Clifford was sent into a world similar to The Matrix.

"Oh, how weird", said Clifford, who then got electrocuted by a green line. Then some CGI blocks started to fall, but Clifford ran away from them.

"Man, is this Tetris, or is it Columns?", asked Clifford, who ran and suddenly fell off a cliff, before falling into a tub of putting.

"Man, I'm all alone, with nobody to play off of", said Clifford.

Meanwhile, back at the jail cell....

"These videos are such torture", said Piggy, "we've got to get out of here!"

"But how?", asked Kermit.

"Like this", said Miss Piggy, going to the door, "Hiiiii-ya!"

Miss Piggy karate chopped the door, breaking it.

"I guess they use cheap materials", said Kermit.

Back at the main Gorillia Television room...

"And now, our plans are official!", said Zhondra.

"What plans, boss?", asked Chip.

"Our master plan to take over the world... of Television", said Zhondra.

They all made evil laughter.

"We'll put innappropriate content on Nickelodeon", said Zhondra, "We'll also put lots of commercials on PBS, dramas on Comedy Central, soap operas on ESPN, Looney Tunes on The Disney Channel, reality shows on MTV, live action shows on Cartoon Network..."

"Uh, boss", said Chip, "MTV already has reality shows, and Cartoon Network already does show live action."

"Oh curses, foiled again", said Zhondra, "I wanted to be the one responsible for that."

Chapter 7

Miss Piggy walked over to Zhondra.

"You are not taking over anything", said Miss Piggy, who then karate chopped her. Zhondra then fell over a controll panel, which instantly caused all of the other Muppets to get zapped into the room.

"Hey, where are we?", asked Bean.

"I think it's margaritaville", said Digit.

"Well, it sure beats the place I've been", said Leon.

"Well, all of you are here", said Ubu.

"That's good", said Zhondra, "Now I can attack all of you..."

"Wait!", said Bean, "I think you got one extra person here!"

"Really", asked Zhondra, "Who?"

The white lion then showed up, and started chasing after Zhondra, Chip, and Ubu.

"Good lion", said Ubu, nervously, "Nice lion..."

"Well, I think we've defeated them", said Kermit, "Let's switch all the channels back to normal."

"Okay", said Digit, pulling a switch on the controll panel.

"Now, let's get back to Muppet Central", said Clifford.

"Yeah, okay!", said Pepe.

Digit pulled a switch, and they were all instantly transported back to Muppet Central.

"We're all back", said Vicki.

"Yay!", said Bean.

"Next time we should do something a bit more simple, okay", said Pepe.

Beard, Flash, and the Solid Foam Drummer then showe dup.

"Hey, we've managed to make it", said Beard, "Did we miss anything?"

"Oh, we just got transported", said Kermit.

"Groovy", said Beard.

More Muppets then enntered the room: Scooter, Bunsen, Beaker, Floyd, Janice, Link Hogthrob, Seymour, Johnny Fiama, Sal, Robin, and Lew Zealand.

"We've made it here", said Scooter.

"Oh, welcome", said Clifford.

"Mee mee mee", said Beaker.

"That's right", said Bunsen.

"Well, the whole gang is here", said Kermit, "Let's close our adventure by making lyrics to The Jim Henson Hour theme."

"Okay", said Digit, who pressed a remote button, and the closing version of the theme began to play as the cast sang...

"Jim Henson Hour,
That's the show everyone should watch!
Jim Henson Hour,
it is full of power,
shame on you, NBC!

Jim Henson Hour,
didn't get enough chance
but it lives on
in youtube!"

The End

That was a great story. It made me feel like I was watching a new episode of the Jim Henson Hour and it was great seeing old short lived characters like Digit, Ubu, and Leon again. :smile:
