Elemenstory, My Dear Wendel (エラメンストリ、ウエンデルちゃん)

Super ElamenSTAR Episode 408

Aired 13th November, 1999

Summary

Will the madness ever end!?

A mysterious stranger appears at the gates of the unfinished Cerulean Citadel. He is clad in black and metal, and in each hand he holds what appears to be a wand (though why anyone would want two is hard to say). He flexes his right fist, and three more wands, this time razor sharp ones extend from his knuckles.

"I've come," he intones in a deep, booming voice, "to take it to the limit."

Everyone goes slack-jawed for a moment before bursting into laughter. Tears stream down Wendel's face, Zula is gasping for breath, and Professor Dervmont has laughed himself into a spasmodic coughing fit. Blunder shoots beer from his nose.

"Stop laughing at me!" the dark stranger shouts. "Stop it! I will make you rue this day, and rue it hard!"

"Where," gasps Lander between laughs, "Did this guy come from? The land of puerile dragon shi..."

"Don't you say it! I am so bad ass! I am so incredibly Epic!" cries the mysterious stranger.

"Shhh, the grownups are talking," says Phila condescendingly. With a wave of her hand, Zula sends a gust of air to toss back the stranger's hood. It is Dragol, in his most convincing disguise yet. Embarassed, Dragol sulks off, never to be heard from again.

The rest of the episode is concerned with Phila explaining to Wendel how she solved the mystery of the missing Fortune Egg (continued from the episode "Sofa, So Good").

Notes

Dragol disguises himself, very obviously, as Grimm Shado, the anti-hero protagonist of The Song of the Sorcelator, a work widely regarded as the semi-literate excrement of L H Franzibald after ingesting the Epic Elemenstor Cycle with some bad chili and curdled rat feces. What is particularly interesting is that the writers manage to disguise criticism of Tomono Shuuan's inclusion of Dragol into the series by disguising the little pink menace as a character it would be safe to mock.

Comments

Kenneth Pike Wheels within wheels... those writers were clever blokes.
