... as the trio emerged on the other side, they were engulfed in pure darkness. As black as could be. No light at all. Couldn't see squat. Get the picture? Another loud noise! Boom !! Many voices from around them cheered loudly, startling the trio, who had no idea they were in a huge room. In an effort to determine their surroundings (super-heros need to know details of their surroundings at all times, you know) Bugs wiped the sludge off the lens of his security flashlight. It began emanating a dim glow through the now very dirty lens. Bugs could barely make out a table to his right. [Editor's note: OK, so we got the table into the scene. Now, what?] There were 6 chairs around the table, occupied by gators of all shapes and sizes, wearing reptilian clothing previously only seen in fairy tales. Bugs raised his eyebrows at this weird scene, trying to come to grips with what they had stumbled into. Then, from the ceiling above, several spotlights came on. They began pulsing on and off. The sound of a drum beat began to accompany them at each on-pulse. Bugs and crew were then able to catch glimpses of the other occupants of the large room. There were hundreds of them in there, all sitting around tables, drinking from tall glasses. At the front of the large room was a stage. On the stage was an entire group of reptilian beings with instruments of all types. Bugs immediately recognized that group as a rock band. He's very astute. One of the spotlights was pointed directly at the drummer of the group. As the drummer twirled his drum sticks, his foot powered down on the bass drum peddle. Boom! The crowd went wild, as they band began playing "Born on the Bayou", by Credence Clearwater Revival. Rusty Irons tapped Bugs on the shoulder, and pointed to a table up close to the stage. There, sitting around what appeared to be the table of honor, were the other members of their group. Muffy was leaning on King Gator's shoulder, grinning and nodding as he whispered something in her ear. Bugs reacted like any studly super-hero would, when another male intrudes on his territory. "Why, I NEVER!", he said, as he rushed towards the table.
