They landed on the alien planet, it was a devastated burnt out wreck, the gang looked from the windows of the punt and didnt like what they saw! A tube appeared and attached itself to the wheelhouse, clearly they had to go through the tube, and into the bowels of the planet, the screen murmured that all was safe and the air was safe to breath, he must have seen Flappy and John with the WW2 respirators modified for off planet use! Mrs BB was carrying two buckets of rusty rats tail with her clearly worried that the planet might not have anything to drink, Patty had loaded the bag with merlot and was surprised how light it was, Peter, Taff and the gravy stained cat smiled at each other and shooed the gang into the tube. John had a right to be suspicious for Peter wasnt Peter he was a doppelganger and the gang were in Big Reds Lair!!!! The tube vacuumed the gang into a large vault, as they looked at the screen they saw the super punt disappear....................
Meanwhile on earth Peter, Taff anf the gravy stained cat were looking for the gang, he had searched everywhere for them, and the Super punt was missing as well, He checked his personal transporter and it wasnt showing where the Punt was very strange..........................................

Patty initially wasn't too impressed at finding herself in a workshop alongside a lot of elves who were already working away at next years 'must have' remote controlled Boris and Trump dolls...you just couldn't get away from these creatures.... Then she had a electric lightbulb moment! Whilst she waited for an opportunity to wreck mayhem and mischief she'd programme the Boris and Trump army to do just what she wanted, come next Christmas they'd be havoc on Earth... Sitting herself between 2 rather nice young men with pointy ears she rummaged in her bag for the thimingmejig that she needed and promptly started to help...... The elves plied with Merlot seemed happy enough.......

All the gang were in front of Big Red "you may have wondered why you are here" he asked, the gang looked at each other then John, in unison they all took a step back leaving John at the front as the spokesman! Big Red Continued, he pointed at John and Flappy "You two destroyed my planet I have brought you here to see the damage you have done!" John and flappy looked at each other they had no idea how they had destroyed the planet, they then looked at Patty who was playing with the two dolls she had borrowed. "Please Red" said John " it wasnt us we didnt do it, a big lad did and then he ran away!!" Big Red gestured to a screen which came to life showing the pair firing a strange gun, by now they had no idea what was going on, then Mrs BB said "its in the future look at the date on the screen" sure enough the date was 23rd Dec 2019 "oooh" they collectively murmured, "so we haven't done it then" they said "and you never will" said Big Red..................................

Peter was peed off, two weeks and the gang were still missing with the super punt, and all that booze!! the B******s were having a party without him he fumed, and I stocked it up with all their favorite drinks, how ungrateful could they get? On the planet Zog the gang were in deep s**t they were chained to workbenches and were producing toys for Christmas, any sign of rebellion was quelled with large electric shocks! At night they were chained together and only had bread and water to survive on, things wernt looking good...............................

Flappy looked forward to night time and the offerings of bread and water. It was just like being at home with the added advantage that the bread crusts were not burnt. However Flappy did rather resent being made to work and he clocked Patty at her evil best and thought he would have a go at manipulating the models of BoJo and Trump just to see what they can do

as the the breathing of the other residents of the cell became regular as they dropped off to sleep, John eased himself out of the restraints and slid out of the compound. He grinned to himself, nobody had seemed to realise the John was an expert escapologist. Many decades of turning restraint jackets into items of sartorial elegance had enabled him to slide out of any restraint faster than Houdini. He crept carefully into the crypt where he kept all his ..... useful items. Purloining the 144 waterproof rain macs had been easy as had nicking the 2 boxes of super strong PU adhesive, it was tedious gluing them all together to make a giant inflatable but all still fairly straight forward ...... it was the engine that he hadn't found until now. There was an item being prepared for shipment as a gift to be delivered in the next few days, he would have to work quickly and he would need to get his old oppo Flappy involved with the next part. A thunderous roar punctuated by incredibly loud popping noises announced the test run of his next target. He peered through the peephole he had drilled in the wall SAM_2451 by mudlarker2, on Flickr John grinned, that should make the inflatable really fly .... The operator opened up the throttle and the noise built up to a deafening roar ... John was impressed by the way the operator was hanging onto the throttle like grim death SAM_2453 by mudlarker2, on Flickr

The super punt had returned to earth Peter had caught up with the doppelgangers and with intense interrogation found out what had happened, Everything was still set up so it looked like a rescue mission had to be mounted, but first he had to get rid of the doppelgangers, so he transported them to Cuba where he was sure they would be happy, not that he cared and then it was to follow where the gang had gone to and face their greatest adversary..................

Flappy answered the call from John, a lump of stone around his ear hole did get is undivided attention. What's up John, what do you want? John was a man of very few words and spoke thus "That engine in there asap" Flappy set to with gusto while John barely moved ,that should be soon done and dusted and then we are offsky

Peter really needed a crew also he needed the screen to get him through security when he got to the planet, the stuff Big Red had assembled to stop intruders and stop people leaving was beyond belief, the laser system would cut everything to pieces in seconds, so he decided to visit where the screen had come from on earth to see if he could get help

John and Flappy finished tying down the Rolls Royce Griffon engine to the front of the home made inflatable and finished gaffer taping the harnesses to the main tubes
"Right" said John "you head to the cage and get all the others here pronto, while I get the the emergency accelerator fixed"
The desperate but undefeated duo could hear heavy footsteps and they knew that it was the sound of the rather overweight Dawn heading their way and it was essential they got away before the morning guards got to the control room ( the evening mob were snoring gently in their chairs)
As the gang scrambled on board followed by a slightly breathless Flappy, as they hastily strapped themselves in John pressed the big red button and the engine coughed into life with a stuttering growel and explosive backfires then settled to a steady roar.
John waited as long as he dared to let the mighty 32 litre V12 engine warm up then opened the throttle and the engine began to howl as the two stage turbocharger came into play and the full two and a half thousand horses hurled the super light weight inflatable punt like a bullet towards the far horizon.
Flappy grabbed at Johns arm and pointed to the glowing red lines of the laser system as they reached out towards them but John just grinned and opened the big red valve by the throttle.
With 60% nitro added the engine's howl turned into a scream as the 100% increase in power had it's effect and the inflatable punt snapped into slipstream drive and to the guards bemusement and Big Reds rage seemed to simply disappear into a wormhole.

Big Red was first furious then bemused, He burst out laughing which puzzled the guards, "I know where that wormhole comes out" he chortled he pointed at the computer screen and the guards started to laugh as well! Big Red with tears running down his cheeks said " any second now and they will appear here" and sure enough the roar of the Rolls Royce was behind them with a mystified gang wondering what had gone wrong..........................

John was not to be foxed and opened the big red valve even further and before anyone in Big Red's world had a chance to react, 75% nitro mix fed into the Griffon, the engine note rose to a hypersonic wail and the inflatable disappeared and neatly arrived at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe carpark.
John cut the nitro and throttled back and after the revs died away hit the kill button, "Ok everybody, we have a table reservation and we just have time to get to our seats before the cabaret begins, I will be there in a moment but I just need to meet a couple of old friends and pick up a couple of items from Zafod"
He stauntered off, whistling softly to himself (he didn't notice that Patty was following him. She had heard of the infamous Zafod Beeblebrox and reckoned he would be good source of interesting items to fill her handbag)

Flappy was completely and utterly lost with regards to the worm hole and all the gubbins that went with it but..... he decided to follow Patty because he had a hunch that Patty was about to do something that would be er shall we say "outrageous"

His business with Zafod and Slartibartfast (you have to be so careful with the names around here) successfully completed (he patted gently the bulging packet in his breast pocket) he returned to the table, completely failing to notice that Patty and Flappy slipped into their seats at almost the same instant.
He also failed to hear the faint sound emanating from Patty's handbag (that seemed to be straining at it's seams)
an odd sort of sound that sounded very much like Marvin the Paranoid Android
"I ask you. She asks me can I get into that bag !!! I mean a brain the size of a planet and she asks me if I can get into that bag ..... Humans!!!"
