Chapter Three - Isolation

After seeking shelter from the Rebel Robot Ranch, the Eds continued their game of Space Outlaws by hiding in the van while the Xenomorph waited them out. Inside the van, Ed was monologuing.

Ed: And so the brave Space Outlaws find themselves isolated as the deadly Robot Bounty Hunters seek them out.  

Edd: How long do we have until they find us, fellow Space Outlaw? 

Ed: Time is against us. The Robot Bounty Hunters are relentless. They no doubt will have found a trail to follow from our battle in the Rebel Robot Ranch. 

Eddy: So we just chill in here? Fine by me!

Eddy then finds a magazine in the van and begins reading it. Suddenly, Eddy is smacked in the face with what appeared to be a car muffler. Eddy gets up with an argy look on his face.

Eddy: What was the heck was that for, Monobrow?!

Ed: We must remain vigilant! At a moment's notice, the Robot Bounty Hunters could swarm our location and vaporize us! 

Eddy: Sure, Lumpy....

Outside the van, the Xenomorph waited for the Eds to come out. Suddenly, Victor the Goat was seen running past it. Before the Xenomorph could pounce on the goat, something pulls on it's tail and yanks it away. Before the Xenomorph could react, Rolf throws some reins on the Xenomorph. 

Rolf: How many times must Rolf tell you not to run off! Do not burn the candle at both ends, as it leads to the life of a hairdresser!

Rolf then stuffs a handful of grass into the Xenomorph's mouth. The Xenomorph gags on the grass as Rolf jumps a cart carrying a large package of grass. The reins in the Xenomorph's mouth was connected to the cart. 

Rolf: Now, Victor!

Rolf tugs on the reins, prompting the Xenomorph and the other goat to pull on the cart. Rolf hums to himself as the cart moves through the Junkyard. The Xenomorph spits out the grass and turns to face the other goat pulling the cart. The goat freaks out and begins struggling to run away. The reins on both the Xenomorph and the goat were secured as the two struggled to get free. This caused the cart to shake violently until Rolf was thrown off the carriage. Rolf then gets up, visibly angry. 

Rolf: VICTOR! YOU DARE TEST THE SON OF A SHEPARD?! MY PATIENCE IS WEARING THIN LIKE MY MAMA'S HEAD OF HAIR!

As Rolf approaches the Xenomorph and the goat. He quickly notices the strange appearance of the Xenomorph and the visible fear on the goat. The Xenomorph roars at Rolf, but Rolf is unfazed.

Rolf: What am I going to do with you, Victor? First you run off, then you roll around in the mucky muck like a hairless oaf and now you frighten your brethren with your antics! You interrupt Rolf's study! Do you think this is party time for 1999? NO! 

The Xenomorph attempts to attack Rolf with it's tail, but Rolf grabs the tail. 

Rolf: Let us wash this mucky muck off of you, Victor. 

Rolf then prepares a huge tub full of water and bubbles. Before the Xenomorph could react, Rolf yanks the Xenomorph and throws it in the tub. The Xenomorph violently struggles as Rolf begins scrubbing it with a brush, not realizing that this was not Victor the Goat. 

Rolf: You must learn that these childish antics will only hinder you as you will end up like the Ed Boys or Jonny the Wood Boy. 

The Xenomorph struggles to get out of the tub, but Rolf maintains a strong grip. 

Rolf: Cease your frantic movements, Victor! Rolf will clean this mucky muck off your fur whether you like it or not! I will not have you returning to the farm looking like one of simple minded Ed-Boy's monsters or whatever he calls it! 

During this, Victor the Goat begins running towards the tub. At full speed, Victor rams into the tub, freeing the Xenomorph from Rolf's grasp. Instead of attacking Rolf, the Xenomorph simply runs away while Rolf brushes the bubbles off his body. 

Rolf: VICTOR?! ROLF IS SICK AND CHILD OF YOUR CHILDISH GAMES! MUST ROLF BEAT SOME SENSE INTO THAT OVERCOOKED NOODLE THAT YOU CALL A HEAD?! MUST THE SON OF A SHEPARD BRING OUT THE HAT OF DISIPLINE TO....

As Rolf wipes the bubbles off of him, he sees Victor standing in the water, eating some grass. amidst the soapy water.

Rolf: Ah! You are clean! Very good, Victor!

Rolf then feeds Victor some grass. Rolf then puts the reins on Victor. The other goat calms down. Rolf then pulls out his pocket watch and checks the time.

Rolf: Now we have wasted enough time with this wishy washy riff raff nonsense! Come! The harvest awaits us! Nana wants this harvest done before Sundown!

With that, Rolf rides away from the Junkyard, not realizing what he just survived. The Xenomorph then slowly crawls back to the place where the van holding the Eds were. The Xenomorph then makes it's way to the top of the van. Inside the van, Ed springs into action. 

Ed: WE MUST FLEE NOW! THE ROBOT BOUNTY HUNTERS ARE COMING! TO THE ROCKET, MY FELLOW SPACE OUTLAWS! 

Ed then flings the door open, blasting the Xenomorph back into a nearby trash pile. The Eds in their Space Outlaw costumes run out of the van to the next stage of their game. After a moment, the Xenomorph gets back up and resumes it's chase of the Eds.
