Chapter 2 - Marvin the eater of Martians

 

 


Marvin the Martian is coasting through space at a smooth 53,900 mph is his flying saucer; the Martian Maggot. He is accompanied by his niece, Marcia, his right hand man, Eugene Gossamer and his trusty sidekick poochie; Commander K-9.  The motley crew is in search of the Duck Dodgers when the Maggot runs out of rocket fuel.

Marvin makes an emergency landing on what seems to be a desolate, baron planet until they stumble across a disheveled, dusty gas station.  Luckily, there is still fuel in the pump so Eugene fills the tank while Marvin takes his niece to find a restroom. Commander K-9 wanders off to do his duty.

When everyone returns to the ship, they realize that Commander K-9 is not quite himself and is acting lethargic. Marcia notices that the poor pup has a wound on his leg and she attempts to bandage it up. Just then, Commander snaps his head toward her and bites her on the neck.  Her neon green blood sprays across the viewing window of the ship.  Marvin sets the auto pilot towards Earth and goes into panic mode.  Eugene is forced to put down the rabid beast before he attacks again while Marcia bleeds out on the floor of the med bay.  Marvin is in complete shock as he cradles his now pale faced niece.  Eugene Gaussamer takes the wheel with trembling hands.  Marvin lays Marcia down on her bed with tears streaming down his pitch black face.  As he goes to wipe the tears away, Marcia leans over and bites a chunk out of her uncle's ribs like he's a dinner plate at Chili's.

Marvin locks Marcia in her room and rushes back to the bridge to get Eugene's help.  The dastardly duo enter Earth's atmosphere when Marvin's complexion begins a ghostly fade.  He lunges at Eugene and the two aliens begin to wrestle for their survival as the Martian Maggot spins out of control.  The ship crashes in the middle of the desert and Eugene comes stumbling out with blood dripping down his forehead. Abraham Sheepdog is standing twenty feet away from the crash site as he stands next to a dead Coyote and Roadwalker.  He points his firearm between Eugene Gossamer's eyes until Eugene begin to plead for his life. He shifts his aim to the right and fires off two rounds right next to Eugene's giant mullet-covered head.  The two rounds fired kill off the Marian Family Bloodline. 

There's no telling who else could be infected by this Looney Virus.
