The Ballad Of Season 16

Season 16

Season 17 starts tomorrow.


LYRICS:

Mike took over Base

And he left Edgar behind

Everyone was mad at him

He couldn’t tell them why

He had a plan in Yellowknife

Iterated their Mike

He went to Tex’s poker night

An iteration died.


Stinky showed up on his own

Wielding a device

It made him near invincible

He toppled Tex in one try

He almost did the same to Base

But the Stinky device misfired

Chance became the leader

And left Shadow behind.


Meanwhile Mikey’s very lost

He can’t remember his life

He found himself in Rugby,

Writing like a scribe

He finally escaped and made it

All the way to Sly

Where he was picked up once again

And also Christmas Island happened,

Or did it? Is that canon?


Chance tried his hand at leading Base

With Mikey at his side

The Stinky device pointed them

To a mission on the inside

But inside of where?

They think it is OI

But wherever it truly is

Mikey remembers his life.


But Mikey’s iterated once more

And finds himself on ice

CANNONBALL has stolen him

To retrieve his device

This device can edit them

And then store them inside

So Ryan hatches an escape plan

Or at least he tries.


Ryan has a game plan

To save them from the ice

They find themselves at Boris’s place

To root through Michael’s files

Boris tries to shoot them down

But gets caught by surprise

Luckily, he’s not the only one

Meddling in this time.


Mikey gets sent back to base

But everything’s on fire,

Or at least it’s very hot

And all empty inside

CANNONBALL knew of their plan

Was not tricked by their lies

And so they end up edited

And inside the device.


Charlie was inside Tier 3

And had been all the time

She kept Marissa inside there

To coax out Chris and Ryan

Then VHS got consolidated

With a compound Michael

They overcame their editing

And CANNONBALL said goodbye.


But our heroes aren’t safe

Can’t go back to their lives

Because everyone is edited

And everybody lies

So who is who? And who is

Merely CANNONBALL-lite?

And who will Base edit now

That they have the Stinky device?
