Greetings,

The clock is ticking. My time is very short, so 
this will be, too.

No sign of TABB in July's "Orbit" magazine.

BBS#23 is back online and ready to party. See Relayer's
announcement below, then surf on over to it with all 
due haste.

And the "Against the World Crime League" script has
been struck down from the web. See a note on that below, also.

To those in the queue for the webring, I've been picking
lousy times to try and connect to webring.org and get them
in the ring, but I'm still on it, never fear.

Later...

     Greetings ArcLight!
     
     I also have the Buckaroo Banzai comic books (if I'm not mistaken, 
     there were only 2 issues).  Mine are in the protective sleeves and 
     since I'm moving overseas to the Netherlands I'd just as soon put them 
     into someone's hands who will appreciate them rather than have them 
     sit at home at the folks house doing no one any good.
     
     Anyone desiring both please email me at:
     
     toonces@sowest.net
     
     and place "comic books" in the header.
     
     Please do not flood the work address.  :-)
     
     Be Cool!

Hello, Greetings and Salutations from ...well ...you know,
   I'm really interested in the purposed sequel,(something like this, I
think, B.B. Against the World Crime League), does anyone have any info
on the subject? Was a story ever produced or scripted? 
   Is there a petition I can sign, or a list to put my name on to encourage
the availability and sale of B.B. on Laserdisc or DVD? 
   Also looking for a WAV file of my favorite line, "Use more honey,
find out what she knows."  \ 8~BUGS

removal from the web, check out the Corona Coming Attractions

The Shadow: Return of the Demon 
By Greg Pizzino

Chapter Three
	"I apologize for the wait Evlyn," Buckaroo said, "You see I'm the only one here
that knows the true origins of my father.  Everyone outside the network has been told he
came from Hiroshima Japan, I mean if they knew he had come from a legendary mystical
city, I'd have even more problems with certain government officials than I already do. 
Now, what seems to be the problem?"
	"The rightful rulers of Shamballa have been killed," Evlyn replied, "I am now the
true ruler of the city.  I've decided that it's time our people were free again."
	"But why now, why have you all of a sudden decided to go back?"
	Evlyn glanced at Azrael who instantly understood what she wanted.  He looked at
Buckaroo and suddenly, he was no longer there.  From every corner of the room
emanated a ghostly laughter.
	"Oh my god," Buckaroo exclaimed, "He's back?!?"
	"Not exactly," Evlyn corrected him, "It's not him, it's... another body, but the same
Wrath all right, the demon is back but not the man.  Now, this is the signal we've been
waiting for, the time for attack is now.  Will you help us?"
	"Yes, but I don't know where the city is, and you've already said you don't either
so how do we find... wait, I remember.  There is one who might be able to help us.  They
say he knows everything there is to know about Asian cultures, no matter where."
	"So how do we find this guy?"
	"He used to live in Chinatown out in San Francisco."	
	"California?  It'll take us forever to get there."	
	"You ever seen a jet car?"
	Just then Peggy burst into the room.
	"Buckaroo, Rawhide says Tommy's on the marconi and he's made a deal with the
Hornet to meet him tonight.  Hey, what's goin on?"
	"Penny this is Evlyn Sade and that," Buckaroo said motioning towards the now
reappeared Azrael, "Is Azrael Praetor.  Um, you'd better sit down, there's something
Evlyn and I need to tell you."
	After Buckaroo's explanation Peggy sat awestruck, partly because Buckaroo had
hid so much from her, but moreover because he was part of an entire legacy which had
suddenly reappeared.  
	"I-I don't know what to say, lost cities, mystic superheros, the last descendant of
Ghengis Kahn, and now you want to go attack this place!"
	"I know it's difficult to believe, but this is my heritage, it's something that means
almost as much to me as you do.  I have to help them free the rest of that civilization, or
at least try to.  Look, we've faced worse, look at that entire episode with Hanoi Xan, or
the Yoyodyne/Planet Ten thing, this won't be any different."
	"I suppose you're right, this is something you have to do.  It's your duty to save
those people.  Just, please be careful."
	"I will, come on, you know me."
	"Why do you think I said it."
	Buckaroo turned towards Evlyn and Azrael.
	"I think we should go out to New York and resolve this thing with the Hornet..."
	"Hornet, as in the Green variety," Azrael interrupted.
	"Yes, you know of him?"
	"I-I don't know, I seem to have memories of him, a meeting with him once, but
they're very vague, as if in a past life or something."
	"I remember my father telling me a story about an incident between my
grandfather and the Hornet."
	"Th-th-that's it, I've... inherited his memories somehow, Wrath has in some way
retained them over the years and now I have them."
	"The jet car should be all set now," Buckaroo said, "lets take it to New York and
then on to San Francisco."
    

Chapter Four

	The jet car erupted onto the George Washington Bridge as Tommy and his Blue
Blaze team and the Hornet and Mishi Kato looked on.  From the shore another watched
unknown to all.  Through his binoculars he began to read the lips of those present.
	"Glad you could make it Hornet," Buckaroo began, "Now, down to business.  You
want to know what the Banzai Institute wants with you correct?"
	"Yeah, that's right."
	"Well, I'm interested in you because I believe you and your predecessors are
guilty of no crimes.  I want the chance to prove..."
	"No.  My mobster image is as much a tool as it is a setback.  What's in it for you
anyway?"
	"Well, having observed your actions for the past months I've realized you'd make
a powerful ally."
	"Ah, I see, you want me as an ally but as long as I'm wanted we can't be seen
working together eh?"
	"Exactly.  Well," said Buckaroo turning towards the jet car, "My offer stands if
you decided to change your mind."
	"Wait," Azrael cried out, "Buckaroo if we're going to assault Shamballa we're
going to need all the help we can get.  Isn't there any way we can have the Hornet help us
without incriminating you in the process?"	
	"Help you," the Hornet said, "What are you talking about, what assault?"
	"Hold on, there's someone else who might be able to explain things better,"
Buckaroo said glancing at Azrael who promptly vanished without the Hornet noticing.  A
now familiar hollow laughter filled the night.
	"Oh my god," cried the Hornet, "He told me about something like this. 
SHADOW, IS THAT YOU?"
	"HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HA IT IS HORNET, THE SHADOW HAS
RETURNED!"
	"I-I've heard the stories of your doings from the first, how you allied yourself with
him to stop Rasputin when he returned to New York.  How have you survived for so long
Shadow?"
	"YOU SHOULD WELL KNOW THAT HEROES NEVER DIE, THEY ARE
SIMPLY REPLACED."
	"So you aren't the original Shadow?"
	"THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR EXPLANATION LATER.  RIGHT
NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP IN OUR MISSION.  WE ARE ASSAULTING THE
MYSTICAL CITY OF SHAMBALLA WHICH HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY
SHIWAIN KAHN.  KAHN HAS ENSLAVED THE PEOPLE THERE AND WON'T
HESITATE TO KILL ANYONE EVEN THINKING ABOUT REBELLION.  WE'RE
THEIR ONLY HOPE."
	"Please Hornet," Evlyn begged, "If you truly are fighting for justice in the world
then help us. Those are my people there and without us they don't stand a chance."
	"Very well," the Hornet said, "Now, as the boy said, how will you avoid being
connected with me Dr. Banzai?"
	"Well, I can't very well help it if your car accidentally gets hooked onto the back
of my jet car as we enter the eighth dimension can I."
	"Good point"
	The watcher on the bank lifted a cellular phone to his right ear which had a large
scar at the top which prevented him from hearing out of the ear.  Realizing this he
switched the phone to his good ear.
	"Master, Banzai has finished his meeting with the Hornet, what do you wish me to
do?"
	"Is the Hornet leaving yet?"	
	"No, he appears to be hooking his car onto the back of Banzai's jet car.  He won't
be leaving until Banzai does."
	"Pity, I had hoped I would not have to involve the Hornet in this.  Honor among
thieves and such.  Very well, tell your men to attack."
	"Yes master Xan."  With that the man hung up.  "Now Banzai shall pay for trying
to kill master Xan," the man said to himself and then picking up the phone again speed
dialed his troop commander.  
	"Yes general."
	"Attack the bridge, leave no one standing."
	The silence of the night was shattered by the sound of twelve horribly
beweaponed speedboats racing towards the bridge from either side and  seven black
Apache helicopters thundering out of the cloudy night sky.  
	Turning to one of the Blue Blazer's Buckaroo yelled, "QUICK, GET ON THE
WORLD WATCH ONE PC AND GET A MESSAGE TO ARCLIGHT.  GET ALL BLUE
BLAZER'S WITHIN FIVE MINUTES DRIVE OUT HERE NOW!"


Chapter Five

	Donovan Jude smiled to himself with the knowledge that, come morning, the
department of defense would discover that an entirely new country called Psychopathia
had declared war on the U.S.  The Computer screen reflected his image as he almost
laughed himself out of his chair.  This would make him the greatest hacker in all of New
York.  Suddenly a message appeared through the Blue Blaze Network, a system that was
to be used in only the most dire of emergencies.  The message was from the head of the
network, ArcLight.  
	"Help," it said, "Buckaroo in trouble at George Washington Bridge.  BRING
HEAVY ARTILLERY!"
	"Jesus," Donovan muttered.  Flying from the chair he ran out the door and down
the stairs pressing the emergency alarm at the bottom of the staircase.  A klaxon sounded
as everyone in the apartment building ran out of their apartments.  "HURRY," he
shouted, "BUCKAROO'S IN TROUBLE AT THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE!" 
He was suddenly relieved at having moved into the Banzai apartment building created
especially for Blue Blazers.  
	Back at the bridge one of the helicopters flew down onto the bridge.  The pilot
locked his missiles directly on Buckaroo and World Watch one.  
	"Lookout," Buckaroo shouted, "He hits that bus and we're all gone!  There's
enough ammunition in there to take out half this bridge!"
	From one end of the bridge one could faintly make out moving figures.  Suddenly,
the pilot shot a single sidewinder missile.  From out of the darkness a second missile
came, not from the helicopter, but from the end of the bridge!  The missiles hit each
other, blowing them both up.  A third missile shot from the end of the bridge obliterating
the helicopter.  Onto the bridge came six heavily armed Blue Blazers firing at the boats
and apaches.  Donovan tossed a grenade launcher to Buckaroo and they too began firing
at the attackers.  Two more missiles took out two more helicopters as Donovan and
Buckaroo fired grenade after grenade at the boats taking out three of them.  Realizing the
futility of the attack the remaining assassins retreated.  
	"Good job Blue Blazer, what's your name," Buckaroo said to Donovan.
	"Blue Blazer Donovan Jude, call sign Sirhaxalot sir, I'm from the new Banzai
apartments.  I received a message from ArcLight that you were in trouble over here so I
brought in the cavalry."
	"Thank you Donovan, I appreciate your help.  We could use it on our next
mission as well.  We're going..."
	"Doesn't matter where you're going, I'm in, and so are the rest of the Blue
Blazers."
	"Good, now, you and your team get on World Watch One, Tommy 'll take you
back to the institute and update you on what's goin on.  I've got to take the jet car out to
San Francisco."  Turning to Perfect Tommy Buckaroo instructed, "Tommy, I want you to
mobilize the main strike teams.  I want Savage and Mojo teams as well as the Rugsuckers
and the Kolodney Brothers.  Take the Blue Blazers back to the institute while the three of
us go out to San Francisco.  We'll meet you back home when we're done."  With that,
Buckaroo jumped back into the jet car and drove off into the eighth dimension.
