TBRS At Worlds End Pt.1

For this anniversary, LM presents TBRS: At World’s End, featuring the biggest shipping war in the history of mankind! This is not just a tribute to all the wonderful people at TBRS, but shipper’s everywhere! On this, the anniversary of the start of this wonderful site let us remember that just because we all may ship something different in one way or another or come from different backgrounds, we do share a few things in common. We’re all doing what we love and thats all that matters. So as we stand on our second year still keeping the faith and still going strong let us never forget that no matter what we’re all friends here. TBRS is more than a forum for geeky comic and cartoon nerds, it’s a family.

PS. Look for a special guest star appearance by one of my favourite Anime characters, she’s really funny trust me. She comes from a show called Azumanga Daioh, and her name is Osaka, check it out.

TBRS: At World’s End
The Shipping War

There was once a time when the Shippers could make their own way in the world, that time is coming to an end. The Non-Shipper conspiracy has now taken root in the powers of the Untied Nations and have decieved the world leaders into their own belief. Shippers everywhere live in fear now as a new terror rises. The Non-Shippers have granted amnesty to one ship and one ship only, a ship long since dead, in exchange for their services they shall not be rooted out and destroyed like the other ships. The ship is known BBTerra, now only run by the most militant of the pairing. IT now stalks all shippers and their fleets while convorting with the Non-Shippers. There is but one last action, the Shipper lords must stand together, put aside their petty differences and unite against a new enemy. Leading the charge are a group of BB/Rae shippers from TBRS who have journeyed half way across the world to seek help from another shipper group.

A Lone woman in a small boat rows through the decaying docks of a small Asian town, she wears a Coolie Hat and remains completely hidden from site in the fog below. She is known as SamRH, Sammeh to her friends.

Sam: (Singing) The king and his men stole queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.
The Ships be ours and by love’s power,
What we wish we shall Pair.

Yo Ho, Haul Together,
Hoist your standards on high,
Heeve Ho, Canons and Non,
Never Say we die.

(Sammeh stops as she sees Anti-Shipper soldiers cross the bridge overhead. When they pass she continues on)

Yo Ho, Haul Together,
Hoist your standards on high,
Heeve Ho, Canons and Non,
Never Say we die.

(Sammeh docks and gets out)

Yo Ho, Haul Together,
Hoist your standards on high,-

(A scruffy Asian man stops her)

Guard: Heeve Ho, Canons and Non,
Never Say we die!

A very dangerous song to be singing, especially for those who do not know its meaning. What are you doing here little girl?

Sam: Shipper bussiness, now stand aside.

(Guard and his companions chuckle)

Guard: Why should we listen to you?

Voice: Because she’s with me.

Out from behind the group a man with pistols adoring his front jacket and a large pirate hat comes down the steps, his cutlass still in the scabbard but looking rather ticked off.

Asian Guard: Captain DL, of the BB/Rae fleet.

DL: Got that right wise ass and the girl you’re speaking down to is SamRH, one of the highest ranking BB/Raers around. Now let us through, we have bussiness with your boss. Unless you’d like to get a boot in your ass.

Asian Guard: Very well, follow me.

(Sam and DL follow the guard inside the tunnel under the bridge.)

Meanwhile several other shippers of the BB/Rae are entering through another way. Jason, Dusky, Changeling, Soni, Kassad, Shadow Avenger and Al are poised at another entrance into the sewers while they cut through the steel bars on top another group of shippers keeps them covered with a musical barrage to hide their sound. Finally the group breakthrough and head into the open tunnel. Meanwhile DL and Sammeh are being lead through the back alley streets to a hidden hideaway for their new shipper friends.

Sam: So what exactly is this guy like anyway?

DL: Naruto shippers are pretty damn vicious so I don’t expect a warm welcome. But considering this guy is NaruSaku we should be fine… as long as they don’t think we sold them out.

Sam: Dangerous time to be a shipper, even if you like someone else’s ships.

(The two come to a table)

Guy at Table: Weapons.

(DL puts his cutlass and all his pistols down)

Guy at Table: You too girl.

(Sam gives him a death look and then cheekily removes her swords, several large pistols and a really big cannon gun from her back pocket)

Sam: And don’t you dare ask me to take my pants off.

Down in the cellar the group that broke in finds the steam room.

Al: Geez this place smells like sweat.

SA: Its a bath-house Al, they all smell like sweat.

Dusky: Whats the plan again?

Changeling: We take the guys in the steam room out quietly and if things go wrong upstairs we give DL and Sam some help.

Jason: Lets just hope it doesn’t come to that though.

Al: But when that stuff happens its fun.

SA: Quiet you.

DL and Sammeh are now lead into the bath-house by the guards over to the end of the bath-house by lots of decaying and disgusting people with mushrooms.

DL: Don’t you people ever get out of that thing?

Fat Guy in tub: You can do that? Hmm, this is news to me.

DL: Weirdos.

(Sammeh and DL stand in front of the man they came to see, Lord of the NaruSaku shippers Shao Shang Sung)

Shao: Captain’s Dl and Sammeh, welcom to the Naruto Fanbase.

DL: A pleasure to meet you Shao, hope you folks have calmed down since I last came here.

Shao: SasuSaku shippers have largely been routed and our ship is practically in control of everything. We also have made relative peace with the NaruHina shippers, other then that we’re still rather suspicious of other shippers, especially in these times when we’re outlawed. What brings you here anyway?

DL: Because we’re getting hunted down like dogs Shao. The Anti-Shippers won’t rest until every pairing in every fandom is destroyed. And with the ghost ship of BB/T in their ranks we’re in even greater trouble.

Shao: I am aware, the same ship is from your fandom of Teen Titans.

DL: Hey I only liked the comics… and maybe the episode Lightspeed, but mostly the comics.

Shao: Everyone is wary of your fandom DL, if BB/T turned who could be next.

DL: Yeah, yeah, I know, the only way anyone in this world can get around shipping these days is turning in others shippers. But trust me, we ain’t like that. We’re trying to wound up other shippers to meet with us Crack-Ship Cove and help stop the Anti-Shippers before we’re all doomed.

Shao: How do I known this isn’t some elaborate trick to get us all in one place then turn us over.

(DL flicks a coin over to Shao who grabs it and listen to it as it seems to ring.)

DL: The song has been sung Shao, our enemies have united and vow to destory us. according to Shipper Code when the song is sung the Shipper Lords must meet at Crack-Ship Cove and take up arms with each other to face a common threat. Its been done for years and now must be done again. You must heed the call.

Shao: Or stay here and wait the storm out, I like the second option.

Sam: Thats your plan? Sit in this filth ridden Bath-house and basically wait till the problem goes away? What kind of stupid plan is that?

Shao: I dunno, sounds okay to me. Not very heroic, but hey I get to live thats a plus.

Down in the steam room, several guards and workers are knocked unconcious as the BB/Rae shippers wait for the moment to strike.

Kassad: Changeling, the fat guy isn’t knocked out yet.

(Changeling looks as the fat guy lifts his head up. She takes a big steam rock out of the furnace and chucks it at his head, plopping him down for the count.)

Dusky: Good arm.

Changeling: I’ve been practicing, watching re-runs of the episode ‘Blind Bandit’ helped a lot.

Back up top…

Shao: I’m just curious though, you come to me with a request that I help you accomplish a task for your ship and perhaps endanger my life as well. Tell me, exactly what is that you want with the Manifesto Chart?

DL: That map apparently can get you anywhere in the world and some places not on this world… as long as they have to do with shipping. We need them to get to Shipper’s Locker.

(Everyone looks at them surprised)

Shao: The place where ships go to die? Are you insane?

DL: Maybe… can’t tell anymore.

Shao: You know its interesting that you mention you want these charts, because someone recently tried to steal them from me.

(Shao snaps his fingers and two men pull up a man gagged and bound in the water, its SparkyX)

Sam: Sparky!

DL: Dude! I told you that it was a bad idea!

Sparky: Okay! Okay! Sheesh, how was I suppose to know this place had an alarm system that sophisticated. It was just a bunch of spilt potato chips everywhere.

DL: Oh god.

Shao: So my suspicions were correct, you were trying to steal my stuff.

DL: Well yes, but only because it sounded cool… and it was Sparky’s idea.

Sparky: Not helping.

Shao: Listen this is all rather interesting to see you guys work Espionage first, diplomacy second, but I’m still wondering exactly what it is you seek in Shipper’s Locker.

Sam: Lizard-Man.

(Everyone in the bath-house including Shao look at them with a raised eyebrow)

Shao: I don’t get it, how did that happen?

DL: Long story. You see awhile back Lizard-man was sailing on the seas with us going after the BB/T ghost ship that was terrorizing us all. We managed to track them but they unleashed this giant squid monster called the pwnaken.

Shao: What the hell is that?

Sam: Its a giant squid of pwnage.

DL: It had the ship surrounded and Lizard-man told everyone to get off before it was too late and the pwnaken came back and took him.

Sam: All we heard from the ship was giant screech of the word PWN when the tentacle slammed down. Now LM is trapped in the Shipper’s Locker and we need to get him back.

Shao: Why?

DL: One he’s our friend and two he’s the only one who knows how we can beat the ghost ship of BB/T. He’s more in depth with shipper lore then any of us.

Shao:You actually think you can take on that ghost ship of death and stop the Anti-Shipper conspiracy by putting your faith in a dead guy?

DL: Not dead, just taken, haven’t you read a American comic book? Unless theres a body he’s alive!

Shao: I only read manga. Its all we get over here.

DL: You don’t keep them here do you? The steam alone would melt the ink off!

Shao: Oh give me a break, if my mom found them back at my house they’d be taken away by now.

DL: You should’ve got you mom interested in your activities, that way she wouldn’t throw out your stuff.

Sam: Yep its true.

Sparky: Yeah thats really the only defense.

(Shao looks over to one of his men to see his tattoo of NaruSaku fan art is dripping.)

Shao: You have decieved me!

DL: Huh? What are you talking about, we admited Sparky messed up.

Sparky: Would you please stop it!

Shao: WEAPONS!

(All the NaruSaku shippers jump out with swords and surround Sam and DL)

DL: What the hell! Give me a break we didn’t do anything! We don’t even have swords!

Jason: Now guys! Now!

(SA and AL throw up a pair of swords for both DL and Sam to catch, they do so and everyone is reallt confused)

NaruSaku shipper: The hell?

DL: Uh… Um… yeah… about what I just said.

(Shao grabs the tattoo dripping guard)

Shao: Drop your swords! Or I kill the man!

(DL, Sparky and Sam all have a WTF face on)

DL: Well kill him he’s not our man.

Shao: Huh?

Sparky: Wait a sec, if he’s not Shao’s man and he’s not our man… whose is he?

(A brief second of silence)

DL: Oh crap.

Everyone: RAID!

(Wall crashes in and a bunch of Anti-Shippers with swords and rifles rush in)

DL and Sammeh engage the Anti-Shippers along with the NaruSaku shippers helping them. Sparky bashes his way out of the tub a joins the fight. Shao punches and slashes his way through the Anti-Shippers and DL runs another one through. Sparky smashes through everyone as he runs forward. Sammeh slashes one Anti-Shipper across the face and then kicks him away. The floor gives way and the shippers below run up.

Al: Yes! At last! Something fun to do!

SA: Just shut up and start killing bad guys!

SA punches one Anti-Shipper in the jaw and Al fires a shot at another one who charges him. Changeling flings another rock and joins the fray. Soni charges out cutlass in hand.

Soni: Running charge! (Plows through Anti’s like a madman)

Jason and Kassad rush up as well and Dusky is the last one out.

Dusky: Eat hot lead jerks!

Dusky fires a gun that is way to big for her and she flies back in the hole

Dusky: Little help!

Fighting escalates to street level as the bath-house doors break open and the shippers and anti-shippers pour out in droves. DL covers Sammeh and Sparky’s back while they run out and Shao slashes and kicks his way out of the house. Sparky and Sam get to dock area of the port and Sammeh takes down an attacking anti-shipper who rushes them.

Sam: Where are the others?

Sparky: Don’t know? They should be here.

Suddenly from down off a rope swings Bun800 with a sword in hand

Bun: WHEEEE!

(Bun careens into group of bad guys knocking them all out)

Bun: Not my plan but it worked.

DL fights his way onto a bridge overlooking the water, he punches and cuts down a few anti-shippers as they try to take him.

DL: Don’t these guys ever stop!

A bunch of riflemen take aim at the shippers from across the river stream, behind them lies an ice cream cart. Someone looks one from a way away behind a bunch of barrels. Suddenly the Ice cream cart explodes justas the anti-shippers are about to fire. Crazy18Gurl stands up behind her cover.

CraZy: WOO! All hail the power of ice cream bombs!

Anti-Shipper Rifleman: Oh god! Its pastachio! I hate pistachio!

CraZy: Pft, oh relax it comes out… plus its nut free!

DL keeps fighting off a real nasty Anti-Shipper and he can’t break the guys block. On another bridge Catty aims a rocket at them.

Catty: Ima coming DL!

Catty fires the rocket and it zooms past DL and the anti-shipper as they cross swords. The rocket hits a small fireworks depot and explodes sending shrapnel everywhere and hitting a lot of Anti-Shippers in range. DL runs the Anti-Shipper through while he distracted.

DL: Thank you catrap!

Catty: No prob!

Catty is suddenly surrounded by Anti-Shippers

Catty: Uh oh.

Ai rushes as close as she can.

AI: Cat! Here!

AI throws a paper airplane that hits Catty in the head. She opens it and reveals its a piece of NejixTenTen fanart.

Catty: EEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIHHHHH! NEJIXTENTEN! AHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!

Anti-Shipper: (Clutching ears) DEAR GOD! What the hell is that!?!

Anti-Shipper Rifleman: My ears are bleeding! Dear lord make it stop!

Anti-Shippers flee and Catty plops on the floor. Ai comes up behind her.

AI: Always good to have crazed fangirls on your side.

Sparky, Shao and DL meet up with the other shippers at the edge of the docks.

Sparky: Looks like we just broke several regional laws folks.

DL: Including explosive destruction of property.

Shao: We’re all in the same boat now then. (Hands DL the charts) Here, find Lizard-man and stop this maddness once and for all. I’ll wait at Crack-Ship cove.

Sam: Finally something goes our way!

Changeling: Wait where’s Crazy?

CraZy: (Fires off her Ice Cream bazooka at some Anti-Shippers) Here! Just delivering some justice in frozen treat form.

SA: Where to now?

DL: To Shipper’s Locker and LM.

Changeling: The boat ain’t that far guys, follow me.

(Everyone rushes off, Dusky follows behind)

Dusky: Wait guys! The gun is real heavy!

(AL goes back and grabs her)

Al: Come on!

Dusky: Whoa! Easy! I don’t have very big legs like you do!

(Everyone climbs aboard the small junk and begin sailing off)

DL: The journey will be long and hard boys… and girls, but if we’re going to save shipper kind we need to save Lizard-man and that means going into Shipper’s Locker.

SA: How do we get back?

DL: Working on that part.

Jason: I do hope someone puts out those fires in the city back there.

Sparky: Oh its just a city made of wood and highly flameable straw, relax it’ll be fine.

Jason: Its gonna burn to the ground isn’t it?

Sparky: Yes it is… yes it is.

Meanwhile with the Anti-Shipper armada on the Admiral Anti’s Vessel.

Admiral Anti: How many crack ships have we destroyed today?

Aide: Sir we’re not doing anything remember. Its all that crazy BB/T ghost ship thats blowing stuff up.

Admiral Anti: In any case the recent raid on the NaruSaku shippers has been very productive. We now know that the shipper leaders intend to meet at this crack ship cove. We simply find that place and destroy it, simple matter of search and destroy.

Aide: What about the BB/T ghost ship and its captain, they’ve been blowing up so many vessel we can’t question the pwned survivors.

Admiral Anti: Oh it can’t be that bad… can it?

(BB/T ghost ship lurches out of the water, its rotting decayed surface accompanies its spooky look. The cannons open up on a group of crack ships destroying them all.)

Crack Shipper: (Falling into water) Cloud and his giant sword 4ever! (Splash!)

Admiral Anti: Okay we’ll reign him in.

(Anti-Shippers arrive on BB/T ghost ship and the crew of fish and coral monsters meets them, these are the hopeless, militant BB/T shippers lead by their captain, an Octopus faced man known as Barry Bones. [Give me a break people, Davey Jones is too awesome a villian to be named a Beastboy and Terra shipper, its an insult to his character!] Barry Bones pushes his way to the front of his ugly fish/coral crew and lifts his menacing crab claw hand at the anti-shippers)

Barry: Leave my ship you anti whelps, our deal was that we serve you not that we listen to you or your rules.

Admiral Anti: See, that additude gives you shippers a bad name.

Barry: And your additude makes you all a boring bunch of pussies.

Admiral Anti: Charming, but you must know that I still have in my possession the only thing keeping this ship and your men aligned to your pairing and this ship remaining BB/T.

(Rifleman hold up a chest.)

Barry: I am aware.

Admiral Anti: Then you best check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Barry: Don’t try to be hip.

Admiral Anti: We need prisoners, alive prisoners, we can’t get that with you killing every shipper you see.

Barry: They’re crack shippers, no one cares!

Admiral Anti: Just follow my command or you’re screwed okay? Now we’re going to be tracking some BB/Rae shippers next, they’re not a major threat but they know something about the other shippers that we must uncover if we wish to stop them.

Barry: I’m only in this so I can destroy that pairing once and for all.

Admiral Anti: And you’ll only destroy it if you follow my orders, understand?

Barry: (Snorts) Clearly, I understand your a pompous old windbag and the first chance I get I’m going take back my ship and destroy you and every last shipper on the seven fandom seas.

Admiral Anti: Good, then until that time you have to listen me. Now tell your men to set a course, we have a bunch of shippers to find.

Somewhere in the frozen northern sea, the BB/Rae Junk sails through the freezing glaciers and the shippers on board freeze their asses off.

Al: Cold, so very cold, why exactly is it so cold again?

SA: Because apparently this is the only path to end of world.

Al: Haven’t we established that this world is round like… hundreds of years ago.

SA: Don’t ask, I never got mysticism anyway.

(Spazz, Sora and Selene stay warm by small fire of burning toasters)

Selene: Isn’t this dangerous to do considering this boat is made of wood?

Spazz: Shut up okay, my feet are practically icing over!

(Huge wad of snow plops on burning toasters putting fire out)

Sora: Well there goes the warmth.

Spazz: Curse you mother nature!

(Catty has her feet in hot water while she shivers)

Catty: Could someone turn the thermostat up?

Sparky: Its busted.

Catty: Damn it!

Selene: If I knew we were going to be heading to the north pole I would have packed more parkas.

Dusky: I would have made an early list to Santa Claus.

Dl: (Looking up from charts) For the last time were are not going to the north pole, we’re going to the end of the world and the entrance to the Shipper’s Locker.

Al: Why can’t we just bring Lizard-Man back from the dead as a Zombie? Isn’t that more productive then having us all freeze to death?

Changeling: Oh sure Al, lets bring LM back as a brain eating undead monster. That will solve our problems.

CraZy: Besides, Lizzie isn’t dead.

SA: What exactly counts as dead? He was eaten by a giant squid of pwn!

CraZy: He wasn’t eaten, he was taken, to world of neverending maddness and suffering. Where you spend your days trapped forever in a horrible suffering pit of decay never to escape and no hope of anything but relying on your own deterioating sanity.

Spazz: The TitansGo.net fanboards?

Al: Riku/Sora section of Fanfiction.

SA: DailyKos!

CraZy: NO! Its the Shipper’s Locker! Haven’t you been paying attention?

Al: You know I have the attention span of a dried trout.

Soni: But once we get in how do we get out?

Dl: The manifesto chart reveals many things Soni, for instance… (Spins the the circles on the map around to reveal words. Sammy reads them.)

Sam: ‘Faith is all you require, to escape the locker’s ire.’ Well thats remarkably vague.

Jason: Maybe not, if the Shipper’s locker is where dead ships go then it stands to reason that they can return to life if enough people put their faith in it.

Al: Isn’t that our slogan?

Dl: Weird, then again nothing really phases me out anymore.

SA: Still doesn’t explain how exactly we’re gonna get out.

Sparky: Sounds to me like we’re putting our lives in the hands of fate.

DL: Oh super, we’re trusting invisible entities. Well if it saves LM we got no choice. Time to put the pessimissim on the back burner. I’ll take the helm, Jason keep us on course with the chart.

Jason: Sure thing.

(The Junk enters a dark ice cave)

Later the shippers find themselves in a strange nightlit sky with water so clear it reflects the sky perfectly.

Al: This place gives me the creeps.

Sora: Better then freezing to death.

Kassad: Are we stuck in some weird drug trip now? Cause I don’t know which way is up.

Sparky: Its like something out of the Yellow Submarine movie… only it makes less sense.

Spazz: Are we at the edge of the world yet?

CraZy: You’ll know when we are guys don’t worry.

Sam: Where the hell are we anyway?

Dl: We’re good and lost now.

SA: How is that a good thing?

Dl: Stands to reason that you must be lost to find something that cannot be found.

SA: Makes about as much sense as the everything else on this adventure.

Jason: Wait are we gaining speed?

Dl: Yes we are.

Dusky: I hear… falling water… really fast falling water.

Changeling: Uh… guys… I think we’re out of ocean.

Sparky: What makes you say that?

(Everyone looks ahead and sees a waterfall)

SA: Oh crap.

Soni: Dl I think we should turn around.

Dl: No, don’t you see? Its the end of the world, the entrance to the shipper’s locker!

Al: I guessed that much already, we’re gonna die!

Sora: Now, now guys, lets not panic.

Selene: We’re gonna go splat and get thousands splinters through our hides!

(Ai shakes her)

AI: Get a hold of yourself girl!

Selene: Sorry, overexcited additude.

Soni: Brace yourselves!

Jason: This is gonna hurt a lot.

Catty: Draco save me!

CraZy: Who wants strawberry ice cream? (Holds up a cone of starberry ice cream)

(Ship begins falling over the side of the waterfall.)

Dusky: Its just like Splash mountain without the flash to take our pictures.

Sammy: Hang on to something!

(Changeling grabs her Sokka plushie)

Changeling: I can’t die! Season three of Avatar hasn’t come out yet!

Dl: HA HA HA! This is the most fun I’ve ever had!

Al: I think I just threw up.

(Ships goes over falls)

Everyone on boat: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

You think you’re alone Raven.-

Please respect my decision not to eat fake meat-

Didn’t know we had a doctor in the house-

Now I smell like Rhino Butt-

You know I’m hilarious-

DEAD SHIPS TELL NO TALES!
