Back to the Future Week
From HallsWiki
May 1-10, 2006, was Back to the Future Week on the Halls of Hysteria. Once again, Chaomancer Omega donned the guise of Doc Brown, while Slovman filled in the role of Marty McFly in the form of Marty McSlov. It all started when Doc drove into the Halls announcing a terrible thing had happened: Rob Liefeld had traveled back in time to meet legendary comics editor Julius Schwartz. The duo hopped into the DeLorean Time Machine and traveled back in time to try and prevent Liefeld from making any disastrous changes.

Temporal Theorists We Ain't
Meanwhile, back in the present, time fluxes started to affect the Hallsians who were left behind. KilljoyBob was replaced by the KJBot, and was on a mission to terminate K26dp, who had recently been re-infected by the Squirrel Hive Mind. But that was only its primary target; the KJBot was also prepared to terminate any other possible threats, starting with an attempt on the life of Oogie56. It then brokered a deal with Aaronc3477 to share in the "fun" of terminating targets. Oogie56, Zebra-12, and Gravity attempted to stop the KJBot, but found it was a formidable foe. They were joined by TheRidge, who was currently in a female form, and by Slovwoman, who brought her Stovesword to the battle, and by an alternate future version of Captain Family Values, named Colonel Family Values, leading his CFV Legionnaires. However, all but one of the Legionnaires were killed by a rampage from Aaronc3477. (In fact, both sides took several shots at Colonel Family Values, most likely due to the association with the usual Halls-continuity version of CFV).
Back in the past, Doc Brown sent "Marty" off to destroy any art or art tools Liefeld had brought with him, and to abduct Liefeld and bring him back to the DeLorean. Meanwhile, Doc sat in the car, waiting for something to happen that would require the car to be repaired.
Colonel Family Values, in an attempt to protect himself from Oogie56, who had begun firing upon him, traveled backwards along Oogie's personal timeline, to prevent the accident which had led to Oogie losing his original arms and getting them replaced with cybernetics. He would fall prey to a bear trap. Meanwhile, Oogie tried firing fruit pies at the KJBot, hoping to restore the memories of KilljoyBob... but the KJBot wasn't KilljoyBob, as proven by the appearance of the real KJB shortly after, leading to a battle between the two killjoys, which was cut short by Slovwoman cutting loose and cleaving the KJBot in two. Zebra-12 evacuated the Hallsians from the ensuing self-destruct explosion.
Further Complications
Somehow the temporal explosion cut Revil loose from the main timeline, and sent him Quantum Leaping into the body of Rob Liefeld in the 1940s. Revil reasoned that he was to do something as Rob while preventing Marty McSlov from killing him, and possibly damaging the timeline. Meanwhile, Marty arrived in the offices of Julius Schwartz, asking after Liefeld, alerting the K26dp of 1944 to his presence. K26dp of 1944 proceeded to follow Marty out of the office as Marty tried to figure out where Liefeld would be hiding in New York, 1944, and nearly blowing off the head of Panther Cult in a misunderstanding, which led to the costumed adventurer running screaming into the town. It is uncertain what happened to PC immediately after that, or what changes in the timeline he may have wreaked.
In the present Halls, KilljoyBob was questioning Oogie's decision to stop the KJBot from killing K26dp, as K26dp was still under control of the Squirrel Hive Mind and shredding Hallsians right and left. In an ill-advised attempt to fix time, the regular version of Captain Family Values threw Gravity through a time warp, dumping him in the Triassic period very briefly.
Marty McSlov's decision to try sleazy hotels proved useful, as by sheer coincidence, Revil, in the body of Liefeld, was in the first hotel that Marty tried. After knocking down every door in the building, McSlov found the body of Liefeld, dozing, with a sign on it saying "Don't shoot, I'm Revil!" Revil awakened and explained the situation. Soon after, K26dp of 1944 revealed himself to McSlov and Revil, and further explanations of who was who and what was going on ensued. Panther Cult also reappeared, complaining of his experiences in 1944. K26dp of 1944 agreed to take the errant time-travelers back to the DeLorean on Halls Isle so they could return to their own time, moving them through the use of his mysterious Martian Breath.
Meanwhile, back in the present, the Hallsians discussed carpet cleaning techniques as K26dp returned and bit off TheRidge's foot, causing him/her to go into hysterics.
Halls Isle of 1944
In 1944, K26dp and the time-displaced Hallsians finally arrived at Halls Isle to see Doc Brown fending off Chickenraptors from the DeLorean. Naturally, as Doc had predicted, a disaster had befallen the time machine -- the chickenraptors had punctured the gas tank, rendering the DeLorean incapable of moving under its own power. K26dp of 1944 threw many of the chickenraptors away from the vehicle and agreed to carry the car to a nearby road and push it up to the necessary speed of 88 miles per hour.
The Hallsians in the present day proceeded to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, despite the still-lurking danger of K26dp and the Squirrel Hive Mind.
K26dp of 1944 spotted people coming up from tunnels around the road on Halls Isle. Initially their use of the German language made the time-travelers think the Germans had taken over the island until Doc pointed out the Swiss also speak German. Marty McSlov slaughtered the Swiss, despite the fears of Doc that it may result in a paradox. Slov determined to ask Quinnbot what the Swiss may have been up to as soon as they were back in the present. K26dp then pushed the car along its way as Doc Brown activated its time circuits, and the group, minus the Martian, at last traveled back to the future, where the DeLorean promptly crashed into Darkhawk Lake. Thanks to the actions of Slov, all escaped unharmed, except for Revil, who was strangely unconscious and still in Rob Liefeld's body. Doc speculated that shooting him might return him to normal, and they pondered what to do about him while Oogie had a nightmare about an apocalyptic future of Halls Isle.
An Altered Present
As the time-travelers returned, certain aspects of the Halls were reverted to normal, or fixed in ways they hadn't been before. K26dp was no longer possessed by the Squirrel Hive Mind, and revealed that he remembered their adventures in 1944, and due to the actions of Slov in 1944, the Swiss were repelled from Halls Isle, paving the way for the current Halls of Hysteria. He further revealed that in this new timeline, the Squirrel Hive Mind was hyper-intelligent and peaceful. This made Slovman wonder what was going on, a worry further confirmed by KilljoyBob declaring his love for Chocodiles and his hatred of fruit pies. Perhaps most frightening of all, Aaronc3477 was a bright, cheerful, steroid-free fellow who liked to dole out hugs. Chaomancer, once again himself and not Doc Brown, wandered in to this peculiar "hell" and was greeted by K2 asking how his wife and kids were, immediately prompting CO to determine that they did indeed need to fix history, if for no other reason than how much trouble he'd be in for "forgetting" an entire marriage.
After pondering the possible causes for the mix-up, Slovman realized that if Revil was still in the body of Rob Liefeld, Rob was therefore in Revil's body and may still have made changes to the timeline. With CO no longer channeling Doc Brown, and the DeLorean at the bottom of the Lake, Slovman went to find Quinnbot, but instead came back with February. She and Oogie proceeded to build a small-scale time-machine out of schematics for her own time-travel circuits, spare parts and a squirrel-powered battery, and sent Slovman and Revil back in time once again along with February. They traveled back to 1944, and promptly encountered the chickenraptors again, but Slovman got them out of the way before anybody could come to harm. Meanwhile, various other temporal anomalies were discussed in 2006.
Revil and Slovman discovered, to their surprise, that they couldn't find Liefeld in 1944, and decided to come up with an alternate plan. They settled on traveling to 1991 and killing him after the creation of Deadpool, though not without some concern for Revil's own life given their switched state.
In the alternate Halls of 2006, KilljoyBob was married to the female version of Ridge, and Stove was still alive. Cyclops was believed dead, but suddenly appeared alive, indicating that at least some of the timeline had been put right. Meanwhile, Zebra-12 poisoned KilljoyBob with a blueberry muffin, as blueberries were toxic in this reality. However, he was saved due to the sovereign specific, which was whiskey, and some encouragement from the Ridge. Captain Family Values was revealed to be the upstanding moral citizen his name would normally imply, indicating that perhaps not all in this timeline was worse than the original.
Ahead in the Past
Meanwhile, in 1991, Slovman, Revil, and February arrived at Rob Liefeld's studio where the two men proceeded to beat Liefeld up. Horrified at the violence, February activated her time circuits in an attempt to set things right, altering the timeline back to its normal state, despite the frenzied attempts by Rob Liefeld to shut her down, during which numerous alternate realities flickered back and forth through the main Halls continuity. Once the fluctuations stopped, February revealed that she had pushed all the changes into "another place", indicating that the alternate Halls was still out there somewhere. Slovman and February took the Rob Liefeld of 2006 with them as they departed 1991, leaving the Liefeld of that time with a warning of what would happen to his possible future self due to his shenanigans.
The time-travelers arrived in the present again, and Slovman sent Liefeld to the Cactus Anal Rape Chamber as punishment. To their horror, however, they found Revil's body slowly disintegrating into a pool of blood. They took him to the emergency room at St. Grundy's Hospital, where he eventually recovered, but unknown to them, one of the alternate realities that had flickered through had inserted the soul of an alternate Revil, Revil Fox, into the body of the beleaguered Hallsian. This would later be revealed in the events which led up to The Storm.
With all temporal changes restored, the Hallsians proceeded to find out how to deal with K26dp, who in the restored timeline was still under the influence of the Squirrel Hive Mind.
