Exo Force has hired Mr Agranaxapopolaxaraxacoricofallapatorius as thier lawyer. Makuta is the judge. Makuta: Order! Order! Make way for today's jury, the Piraka! *Piraka theme tune starts playing* Makuta: Turn that iPod off! Hikaru: Well sooooorry Mr i'mthebossofeveryone. Zaktan: Get this over with! I have a Matoran hunting session at five past. Makuta: I call Sensei Keiken to the stand! Keiken: Well, this is what happened the other day... [flashback] Keiken: Tra la la la...how are you all this morning, fellows? Takeshi: Oh quite spiffing, thank you. Hikaru: Isn't it a lovely day to be nice and innocent? HaYaTo: Oh yes, quite, dearest Hikaru. After all, any day is nice enough to be nice! [/flashback] Makuta: Do you expect me to believe this? Keiken: Hey it's my story! Anyway... [flashback] Ryo: Oh goodness me! It's darling Robotina! Robotina: Greetings friends there's a price on my head. Keiken: Well I wouldn't sell you to the robots for any price, my darling lady. [/flashback] Makuta: What about the e mail supposedly sent to Meca One at this point? Keiken: Oh that little thing. I was trying to be nice, because I like to be nice toeven the worst of neighbours. The e mail said simply... Dear Meca One I'm just sending you this to tell you to make sure you have a fine day! I'll be round later for tea. Signed Your friend Keiken Makuta: Then what happened? Keiken: Meca One, that cruel robot, blasted some Sonic Phantoms at the fortress! So we just, er, gathered some fluffy animals nearby and er drove away down the mountain! Makuta: And what about Robotina? Was she with you? Keiken: Naturally. We could never leave a fellow behind in such danger! Makuta: Very well. I call Meca One to the stand! Meca One: Well, everything that old man said was total rubbish. Here's what really happned... [flashback] Meca One: Well isn't it a lovely day! Devastator: If only those cruel humans would stop killing kittens every day, perhaps we could all have a tea party. Meca One: Oh no, look, that evil man Keiken has sent us an e mail! It says... Ugly Meca One Just to say I hate you and all things nice and I'm very evil and not trustworthy at all. I hate you Keiken Meca One: I'll delete it. It might offend the little puppies I like to look after. Devastator: Oh goodness me! Some of our Sonic Phantoms have gone off course! Meca One: Oh no! They must not kill, not even those evil Exo Force people! I mut save them! Nooooo! [/flasback] Meca One: And that's what happened. A simple error, clearly not my fault. Makuta: If you're so nice then why are you refusing to pay up? Meca One: Those horrible people will spend the money on new kitten sized torture equipment, I'm sure. I can't fund such a horrid practise! Makuta: Well you've both argued your cases convincingly, and now it's time for the Piraka to decide who- Mr Agranaxapopolaxaraxacoricofallapatorius: Wait! I have another witness to call...Robotina! Robotina: I can tell you what really happened... [flashback] Robotina: Hello, Keiken, my lovely boyfriend! Keiken: Oh hello dear, how lovely to see you. Robotina: Oh my, Sonic Phantoms! That evil Meca One is after me!!! Keiken: I'll save you! I don't care if I lose my home! To the Mobile Defnse Tank! [/flashback] Robotina: So Keiken saved me. He sacrificed his home to rescue me from Meca One. Oh and I also have an unrelated hatred of Meca One which might have but didn't have any effect on my doing this. Makuta: Well then I think it's clear who- Meca One: No! I have another witness too! The Queen!!! The Queen: Yes, I know what happened! Makuta: Where have you been for the last couple of episodes then? The Queen: When Striking Venom II was destroyed, I went back to ITV for a couple of days. People think "Oh yeah the Queen she's rich" but no, I need to earn a living too! Anyway, Meca One's right. The Sonic whatever they're called things were just out of control. I'm sure he regrets as much as I do the loss of such an orange home. Makuta: Well, Piraka, it's your decision. Zaktan: Meca One is guilty! Vezok: No, he's not! Avak: Oh course he is! Hakann: No he's innocent! Reidak: He's guilty of course! Thok: No comment. Makuta: 3 against 2, Meca One, pay up! Keiken: Woohoo! 50 grand! New base here we come! Meca One: Oh fine...but I'll have my revenge! Devastator: I though you were against revenge? You said you'd replace it with a new concept, ravonge. Meca One: Oh yes, I'll get ravonge on you, Exo Force! NEXT TIME: MECA ONE GETS HIS RAVONGE!
