Oversight: Tails of An Overlord

(The scene is dark, however high-pitched voices can be heard)

Brown Minion 1: This one! This one here!

Brown Minion 2: Lookie! Lookie!

Gnarl: For the last time! We are not here for that rock that looks like Elton John! Now help me move the lid of this Sarcophagus, you whippersnappers!

(The sound of stone is heard and light is seen as a group of goblin like creatures peer over the Overlord. An aged Minion in a ragged robe looked closer.)

Gnarl: Rub some acid in his eyes. That will freshen him up.

Brown Minion 1: *nods and does as instructed*

Overlord: *Jolts up into a sitting position, hands clasped over his eyes*AAGGGHH! HOLY *BEEP* *BEEP*! MY *BEEP*ING EYES! THAT WAS *BEEP*ING ACID, YOU *BEEP*! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU *BEEP* *BEEP*ING *BEEP* SON OF A *BEEP* *BEEP*!

(A few moments later, the Overlord stands in the shadows as his minions help put his armour.)

Gnarl: A lot has happened since you last walked upon this earth, my lord. The lands of darkness are ebbed and *shudders* peace overcame the land, or at least a lesser kind of misery, ever since the seven heroes had slain the previous Overlord. Now everything is green, with happy faced children skipping through the fields, singing   about how happy life is and the likes. It’s almost like the “It’s a small world after all” ride in Disneyland.

Overlord: *looks absolutely horrified* The horror!

Gnarl: *nods* Yes, which is why we revived you sire. You need to go forth and spread evil and put terror in the heart of the people.

(Gnarl looks at the fully armoured Overlord standing menacingly)

Gnarl: Excellent, sire, come and see your future empire!

(After a few moments of nothing, The Overlord toppled backwards on to his back with a lord clang.)

Gnarl: *looks at the Overlord* Hmmm, perhaps we should have oil the armour a bit first.

Overlord: *unable to move a muscle* Oil...can...

(After much oiling later)

Gnarl: I am the Minion Master by the way, Sire. I may be old but there still life in these bones.

Overlord: I see.

Gnarl:*going a bit deaf* What you say?

Overlord: I see.

Gnarl: what?

Overlord: Are you deaf in the ear?

Gnarl: *looks horrified* you’re going to stick WHAT up my rear?

Overlord: *slaps forehead*

(One beating of the minion Jester later)

Gnarl: Well my lord, here is your tower, the heart of your dark domain, the jewel of your empire, your crowning glory!

(The Overlord looks round at the ruined tower, watching as a stone pillar fell over and smashed into a million pieces, amazed that the place was still standing.)

Overlord: *looks unbelievingly at Gnarl* Suuurrrrreee.

Gnarl: *ahem* yes, well erm... After the heroes beat your predecessor, they also looted the tower, taking many of its items. Even the Tower Heart, the source of the Tower’s power has been stolen, fortunately, the Waypoint Gate has enough power to take you to where the Heart is.

Overlord: *Stand up to his tallest and points his axe dramatically forward* Then let’s us go retrieve it. Onwards, my minions! To VICTORY!

(A million minions armed to the teeth swarm out of every nook and cranny and ran in the direction the Overlord pointed.)

Minions: YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Y! KKKKKKKKIIIIILLLLLLLLL! YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

(The minions run over the edge of the tower, plunging down into the mist far below while the Overlord looks in utter shock, conveying the feeling quite well despite only having two glowing eyes as a means of expression.)

Gnarl:*After awhile* I’m not going to lie, lord, that’s going to happen a lot.

Overlord:*looks up as if pleading to the gods* Is too late to go back to the Sarcophagus?
