The Mars Volta: De-Loused in the Comatorium - Page 3

There was a thundercloud above The Volta Lord's head. Lightning flickers and suddenly strikes the empty chair opposite him. General Leo Bondoo shivered and knew the news upset his master. "Why would my brother fight against me?"
"If I dare say, m'Lord, he craves excitement and you two have always hated each other."
"Shut up."
"Resistance is futlie!"
"Shut up. That's our line."

The arrow flew, propelled partly by the force of the bow, and partly with the will of The Volta Lord, as the arrow would not have gotten farther than 200 feet otherwise. As it is, it traveled across several territories before finding it's victim. "Damn you, Theory, damn you!" were the last words The Mars Volta King uttered before collapsing in a broken heap at the Seven's feet.

That was the signal of the end. Soon there were only four free territories. Then two. The Last Two died shaking hands, tears in their eyes. "Resistance was futile. These are dark days indeed." The peasants who survived went on with their life. The Volta Lord burried his brother, the tombstone reading, "No Thanks To You." And thus ushered in a new era, where everyone bowed before and prayed to The Volta Lord.

The End.
