If Gardner Fox Wrote DS9
by Rob Morris
Text : Into his offices flies Benjamin Sisko, aka The Hawkman. Supposedly, he is the very reincarnation of The Emisarry Of Bajor. But to most, he is simply the bare-knuckled Chairman Of The Justice Society Of The Alpha Quadrant!

Sisko : Hmmm....office seems a little quiet. That just won't do.

Reaching back where other men wouldn't even look, Hawkman grabs a surprise--two Cardie spies, sent by IL Dukat himself!

Sisko : Its not like you boys to gallivanting out without Der Founder's stamped and notarized say-so.

Cardie 1 : Terran Dog! The Cardassian FatherWorld will rise up to take over everything, one day!

With one movement, Hawkman, who has no time to chew the fat with Cardie spies, sends them both into slumberland by knocking their thick heads together!

Sisko : Maybe by the time that pipe-dream happens, you'll even be awake again.

Realizing that there is no time at all to waste, Hawkman calls on the rest of the incredible men and women of The JSA.

In bursts the Princess Kira, the fabulous Wonder Warrior, created from clay by the Prophets Of Bajor.

Kira : What goes on here, Hawkman? My patrols had barely started when I heard the call.

Hawkman wastes no time in filling in the amazing Vedekzon from The Lost City.

Sisko : Couldn't be helped, Wonder Warrior. Seems that Uncle Dukie and Der Founder have had a falling out.

Kira : Ha! Now there was a romance even the dime-stores wouldn't have bought. When you have two thieves like that, working together, welllll......

At that moment, Worf Rozhenko, a man who received a mystic ring from Emperor Kahless himself, makes his entrance, to boot. He is The Green Lantern.

Worf : Hey, Hawkman---Don't tell me you needed The Lady's help in mopping up two lousy Cardies! Are you going soft on me?

Sisko : Not a chance, Ring-Slinger! But I thought maybe I should put you wise to trouble in The Axess Hilton!

Worf : That's one hotel I plan to visit only once. And that's when I come to demolish it.

Other members arrive, each in their own unbelievable fashion. As five JemHadar loyalists cower in terror, the smashing fists of Wildcat O'Brien put their plans of  vicious sabotage to a proper rout!

Miles : Only five JemHadar chumps? That lousy creep, Der Founder, must be trying to insult me into getting sloppy. But that'll never happen.

JemHadar : We strike for her glory! We sing her praises!

Then, The Missus steps up to bat. Mrs. O'Brien wants roll some doughheads, it seems.

Keiko : Fellas, I can bet sure that song will never reach 'Your Hit Parade'. Not when its up against the song of The Black Canary!

Amazingly, her song opens the portal right to their holding cells, and the Kitrocel Fiends are down for the count!

Sisko : Oh, No! They're charging the cell door!

Yes, it seems that these ungodly fanatics will soon be at it again, until their sent back to dreamland. But that's what happens when sand gets in your eyes.

Bashir : Der Founder runs you lads ragged. Let The Sandman put you on enforced medical rest.

Yes, when the man The Axxess tried to change into a living weapon strikes back with his sand-phaser, its time the bad guys turned in for a long nap. And hey--they'll sure need it.

Kira : Nice work, Sandy! But you got your dream-dust in my morning Raktageno!

Garak : HereletmereplaceitWonderWarrior

Proving that not every Cardie is a dumb stooge waiting for a kick in the pants and a punch in the mouth is Jay Garak, the Fastest Sentient Alive.

Garak : AfterallTheFlashcan'tletmydopeypeople'spoorchoicesruincoffeeanddanish, nowcanwe? SorryI'mlatetherewasaCardie ConvoyattackingVulcan, andIthoughtI'd helpourprimandproperalliesout.

Many times, The Flash forgets to relax his speech patterns after a mission. But hey, the other JSA members are actually used to it by now!

Hawkman : Well, lets get started before Jake Thunder and his Prophet make a showing. But saaaayyy---where in the purple Hades is Plastic Man?

Wonder Warrior, tough though she is, almost shrieks as her lasso comes to life. It was Plastic Man, the one and only fun loving shapeshifter, all along! What a crazy funster he is, that Plastic Man.

Kira : Can't you ever be a serious gentleman, instead of an escaped circus clown?

Odo : Not in my nature, pretty lady. You just wait--next week I'll be pretend to be your stocking feet!

Sisko : Enough of this falderal. I now call this meeting of The JSA to order, being its chairman. This is what we're going to do, to bring this war home to the stinking JemFoundCardners!

Wow! That Hawkman is sure serious, and the others are serious around him, so that means serious trouble for The Axxess!
