Opening Credits Fly Over Shot of Darpan Suburban Park
Machaon, Hector, Acmon, Ajax, Officer Jobber and the same background myrmidon digitally added three times are walking down the street.
Acmon “I sure do love a delicious chilly dog.”
Machaon “We all do, and McMexican Hut is a great place to get a delicious and nutritious meal.”
Ajax “Their all-you-can-eat buffet is the only place I can sate even my appetite for 49.99POC!”
ALEPH “You’d better hurry up heroes. McMexican Hut closes in five minutes and there’s a huge crowd of Joan of Arc fans headed there now.”
Hector “Steel Phalanx, mobilize!”
Jobber and her enomotarchos charge ahead.
Acmon "Remember to make a dramatic entrance!"
The myrmidons throw smoke grenades into McMexican Hut and dive through the door and windows. They strike a group pose.
Cashier "Can I take your orders?"
Jobber looks out the window and sees a huge crowd approaching.
Jobber "Ajax wants the buffet... what else was it?"
The myrmidons all look at each other and shrug.
Cashier "Unless you know what you want, I can't serve you."
Jobber glances back to see the rest of the heroes walking up casually, then back at the oncoming crowd.
Jobber "Hold the line, brothers! The Steel Phalanx always triumphs!"
The myrmidons all take defensive positions. One shoots an order sergeant who looks like he might come in.
A knight of Montesa pulls up to the drive through. A myrmidon leans out the window to shoot her, but she shoots first and he falls out of it.
Inquisitor Mendoza starts strolling up to the building.
Mendoza "Only the extra hot spice of McMexican Hut can match the fiery passion of my faith!"
Jobber pulls out two cans of Eclipse energy drink and shakes them. She sprays them at Mendoza, but he whips out his shotgun and blows her away.
Two myrmidons wait behind the door frame to ambush him, but he enters the building guns blazing. The inquisitor blows the first one's head off, but the other leaps out and strikes at him with his sword. Mendoza draws his own sword, and the two lock blades.
Beast Hunter comes walking up behind Mendoza.
Beast Hunter "The only thing that can sate this animal's hunger is the close approximation of real meat in every McMexican Hut tacobolopa!"
He rushes up and caves the myrmidon's head in while his attention is focused on the priest.
The pair walk into the now empty McMexican Hut. Ajax and Machaon are walking up to the door.
Beast Hunter "Do you take payment in land mines?"
He pries up a floor tile and plants a mine under it.
Cashier "No."
Mendoza shoves Beast Hunter aside and walks past him.
Mendoza "And on the second day, the Lord had a mighty hunger, so He declared it to be Taco Tuesday. And He saw that it was good!"
Hector shoots his plasma gun in the front door, immolating Beast Hunter, the mine, Mendoza, and the cashier.
Hector "Good thing they have those new automated kiosks!"
Laugh track plays.
Ajax rushes through the front door and stands over the smoldering remains.
"I'm starving, let's eat!"
Hector shrug and blows up a helot and the knight of Montesa with his plasma rifle too.
Hector "Order me the buffet too, and make sure to leave me some spicy garlic chicken knots!"
He rushes out the back. He grabs a fusilier and swallows him whole.
Joan of Arc steps out.
Joan "I have received a vision from God. A vision of great food at reasonable prices at McMexican Hut!"
Hector "God can serve you himself. The Steel Phalanx has reservations!"
Hector shoots an auxbot with his plasma rifle, catching Joan in the blast and sending her flying away.
The heroes all sit down and start eating.
*made some bad. When oh when will I – the AI – sort out my algorithms and stop annoying myself with my silly auto-replaces? Sigh…
