Back at Comedy Central's South Park studios, night had fallen. Leonardo and Michelangelo had left the lot after the military had kidnapped Parker, Stone and Kiedis: Michelangelo to follow through on his plan to check out the art scene in NYC - he booked a flight from Denver or Boulder to Newark airport and was currently in the air. Leonardo continued on in his van alone (or perhaps he had found company already?) towards Ohio and Wright Pat air force base where Donatello (also from the Italian rennacainse)still abided. The police had come to take statements from Karen and Martha and others there, and, as stated, night had fallen and the lot was empty and the building stood alone and dark.
In the lunch room where the TV on the wall that nobody watched played CNN earlier that day a flash in the darkness gave way to four time travellers emerging from elsewhere in the space time continuum:
had se
Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas Jefferson,
Wolfgang Mozart &
Jimi Hendrix.
The four had been playing video games in heaven and had seen Blitzer and King (from CNN's) rendition of Metallica's 'Four Leaf Clover' and arranged to flip forward into time for approximately half an hour or so to cut a better version of the song (than both Metallica's original version (and King and Blitzer's remix).... the four began unpacking their musical instruments which they carried with them. Upon making arrangements for the time-travel trip, the four had specified already on their Sega Playstations that they wanted to up their special skills, hence Ben Franklin chose to become an expert drummer, Jefferson would be a bass-guitarist and vocalist, Hendrix needed no extra skills and merely went about setting up his lead guitar. Mozart had brought a synthezizer and would be throwing in all extra sounds not covered by the other three. Finally, after some setting up and testing of instruments and sound recording equipment Jefferson looked at Mozart and the two nodded at eachother while Franklin began keeping a quiet beat on his cymbals -- of they went to go beyond where man had gone before them. Although in their own lifetimes, Mozart, Jefferson and Franklin were alive concurrently -- in fact, Mozart had naught to do with the latter two who were American Statesmen and busy readying affairs for the inscription of American Legality and Statehood or Nationhood for centuries and even millenia to come. No doubt Franklin and Jefferson had heard of famous musician and likewise, news would have arrived to Mozart at the tender age of 20 (by which time he had already achieved more musically, on a creative level, than perhaps 99% of all musicians before him and to come after him for many long millenia, such was his astounding talent.)
Needless to say, noone bettered Metallica's version of 'No Leaf Clover' than the version performed by these four: EVER. Half an hour later, the four had turned into wisps of mist: their earthly, physical forms had 'smokerized' like Jeannie in 'I dream of Jeannie' and their Immortal Souls returned to Heaven leaving their bodies behind.
