You know that scenario you’ve been asking about for years? Well, boy oh boy, it’s your lucky day! 😀

Let’s go Tim!! I’ve been waiting for Terminus and Nightmare to get their just desserts!
This was me, just wasn’t logged in.
Hah, it’s all good.
*Yoink!* Midnight: “Ah! My tits!”
Hahaha! I’m not the only one thinking that SAME Thing!
he’s just going to pull the crest off, isn’t he?
The thought has crossed my mind, but probably not!
*Yoink!* Midnight: “Ah! My tits!”
(sorry, put that on the wrong comment at first!)
{Take 2} Hahaha! I’m not the only one thinking that SAME Thing!
If he does, that top is coming off too. lol 😀
The sexual tension would really go off. would be funny as hell too.
And that’s when Tim’s parents walk in?
Naturally. lol
I’d be putting on some long sleeves of leather or at least denim. Midnight herself taught Tim what those claws can do and she was holding back at the time.
So, does Tim know a way into Nox without the aegis? Or is he about to “borrow” hers?
That’ll be covered, in some way or another. As for borrowing…
Mid, we love you, but Tim is prepared to die for Shadow. You are either helping or getting out of his way.
Mid, Mid, Mid… Never get between a determined boy and his one true love. Especially when he’s got a baseball bat.
He’s thinking it through, too. He’s thinking he’ll need backup, and there’s two folks who know Shadow who might be willing to pitch in. Besides, I’m all for sailing the Midnight+Marcy ship, though the idea of a Midnight+Craig+Marcy throuple is growing on me.
Uh oh… Tim was filled with DETERMINATION! RUN!
> He’s thinking it through
Then he should have realized that on his own he has no idea of where to go.
And that the Noxians can sense him even through the walls.
Probably not a bad stance in negotiation with Midnight, however.
YEAH and you do not want to upset him
Never underestimate what a man is willing to go through for the person they love
Ah yes, Tim a basball bat is going to fend of a hoard of noxians.
Wow I misspelled a lot of words.
How’s he getting there? also, shouldn’t he have more than just a bat? like maybe food
He needs a whole Strike Team.
The optimal composition, Lady Blackheart (Ruth a.k.a. Mum) transport, magical support & reconnaisance
Craig – Frontline tank
Spencer – frontline tank
Midnight – secondline support (archery? finishing off any wounded)
Marcy – secondline support (archery? first aid for the party)
Tom (Dad) – secondline support (photographs for evidence) fill in where needed.
Nice
lol Special forces has never been so “special”.. or scary.
Why do I get the feeling his mom’s gonna have a part to play in the rescue
Prognostication?
Honestly, I can’t wait for him to travel to NOX, because who knows if he suddenly transforms, considering he is a hybrid.
I would love to see Tim pull off a cinematic, 80’s-fueled “gearing up” montage (a la “Commando” or “Rambo”) with close-ups and smash-cuts galore!
Renn Faire cloak with hood? Check!
Leatherette belt? Check!
Sneakers (that hopefully no one will notice)? Check!
Aegis? Check! (Don’t ask where he gets it from…it’s an inexplicable, cool-dude montage and I am not the writer!)
Overly fru-fru’d flea market dagger? Check!
Junior league Louisville Slugger? Check!
Box of chocolate chip cookies? Check!
Polaroid Instamatic camera? Check!
Headband (just “because”)? Check!
And, to top it all off…
Freddy Kruger knife-glove with the immortal quote, “Groovy!”
I’ve not seen any of the Elm Street franchise films so don’t know if you’re right about Freddy Krueger having “Groovy!” as a favoured line (and I know Tim has an Elm Street III poster on his wall, plus he also cos-played as Freddy when he and Shadow went Trick-or-Treating)…
It’s just every time I hear/see “Groovy!” mentioned, I think of Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams in the Evil Dead films.
It was an Eighties-mashup of Tim’s ever-present “Nightmare” poster and the best line to punctuate a “gearing up” montage. That, and I could totally see Tim pull a corny, on-screen stunt like that, so…
Marcy is the acrobat martial artist bard. After all, she’s the cheerleader!
Ack! Wrong reply! This was meant to go up above!
No worries. If nothing else, I’d could watch Marcy flip-kick for hours, too…especially if I could add color commentary while holding up scorecards from the sidelines.
“It’s a lovely day down here in the Underworld while Marcy makes her approach, folks! Ouch…that’s gotta hurt! So, Marcy takes down a Noxian squad with her brutal, but elegant, signature routine…AND IT’S A PERFECT 10!!”
“insert chocolate chip cookie ad during commercial break”
Here’s a silly scenario that will never happen. Imagine if this comic had silly, non-canon “omake” side-stories.
Now, imagine Shadow coming across the Keebler Elf Tree.
Slightly more serious question for Brandon, assuming he sees this; has Tim ever given Shadow some cookie dough ice cream over the years? And if so, how did she take to it?
Personally, I could see it go two ways; either a total disaster OR the closest Tim comes to getting pounced upon by Shadow before recent events.

“insert copious screams of elvish terror drenched liberally in fudge, chocolate chips and ‘ick’…and ‘scene’!”

We’re going to have a montage! Awesome
interesting idea, i was thinking the same thing if ruth gave timothy her crest as he puts on his old freddy cruger gloves and wears dark jacket.
Obviously, Tim doesn’t know how tough Noxians can be
I dunno ’bout dat!
He explored Shadow thoroughly and she didn’t break.
please tell me he takes more then a baseball bat with him thats like trying to take on a military base with a stck
It can be done; you just need to be smart and stealthy. Obviously, a frontal assault is not the way.
…and a lot of save scumming.
On the plus side, Nox doesn’t appear to have weapons like guns, so a baseball bat is like having a nice sized club.
On the minus side, I’m pretty sure they have swords, although they apparently don’t use metal for things like forks and spoons. A bat may parry a sword, but the sword may damage it as well.
Noxians certainly have knives and daggers (as Lord Mortis can testify).
They may be restricted to the upper echelons of society because we haven’t seen that MOST Noxians go armed at all times.
If I recall correctly it’s only Terminus (the green scrote) and Nightmare who been shown with a dagger and that was for ceremonial purposes (the secret door!).
how about “uses their own weapons against them.” single man gets entire town to surrender.
oh yeah, this ‘guy’ was wounded twice before, that would have sent him home, but he refused. he was blind in one eye…
