Flash Gordon

A Story by Abishai100

The unusual hero-man on the 'red planet' of mystery must ally with Kitana of Horns to defy evil Ornella's reign of distancing.

I'm signing off with an homage to the 'uncanny' storyboarding franchise Flash Gordon (comics/cinema, etc.). I hope you like it,

On a 'red planet' in a faraway galaxy a hero named Flash Gordon was tackling a terrible dark castle ruled by an evil Queen named Ornella. Flash had some help, since he was allied to an underground group of defiant radicals called the Horns of which he met the beautiful horned warrior-princess Kitana and fell in love. This 'red planet' was suddenly the site of some outstanding modern folklore involving heroics, hijinks, hellfire, and heat!

FLASH GORDON: I shall use my terrific jet-plane fighter vehicle (Skyfire) to descend on the vanities of Ornella.

Now, Flash Gordon was no 'ordinary' hero, since he wielded a dual skill/passion with extra-ordinary targeting/sharp-shooting as well as quite/rather 'unusual' forms of charm and optimism. In fact, being a devout Catholic by origin (from Earth!), Flash Gordon cared deeply about concepts like orphaning, black widows, and the oppressed. Flash Gordon was to use his worldly sense of dominion infiltration(s) to usurp the formidable reign of evil Queen Ornella, re-presenting himself as a 'masked' avenger!

Fortunately, Flash was not alone when he met the warrior-princess (Kitana) who's a member of the Horn clan of defiant underground rebels on the 'red planet' on which evil Ornella ruled with efficient calculation(s). Kitana believed in the thing(s) of exorcism and advocacy of sentimental memory, while Ornella ruled with fists of fury and chance and prominence, and Kitana wanted to help Flash Gordon become a heroic man of confidence, therefore becoming 'his' angel of beauty.

ORNELLA (Queen): I shall not allow the Horns or their new 'captain' of industry (Flash Gordon) usurp my 'castle' of fantasy!

Fortunately, Flash Gordon was able to befriend a 'host' of creatures on the red planet which boasted one area of watery jungle(s) in which dwelt a race of bear-like humanoids who loved to 'destroy' the robotic-armored 'minions' of Queen Ornella (using magnetized slingshots-with-coins). This jungle-revolt resulted in the devastation of Ornella's 'driver' force(s).

FLASH: Your castle has been destroyed, Ornella the evil one.

ORNELLA: I'm certain you'll find your 'paradise-lost' somewhere with your new 'bride' (Kitana), Gordon!

FLASH: It's all a game of youthfulness...and innocence, queen of the past.

ORNELLA: I'm thinking you're departing for a return-visit to your former planet (Earth), Flash.

FLASH: Indeed; Kitana and I will be enjoying some American 'football' games and cheerleader(s) distance(s).

ORNELLA: I'm retiring to a haven in the caverns of the red planet...forever.

FLASH: Great; I won't worry about your 'arms' on Earth as I toast this Liberty with football-cheerleaders!

Thus was the inception of the legend of the heroic Flash Gordon, and his tale would be canonized both on Earth and on the red planet and ironically enough even dark Queen Ornella would find the sort of 'haven' that would make this otherwise terrible 'tumult/tribulation' worth its weight in quills...and democracy!
