The Last Laugh



The Last Laugh is a chapter in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. In this chapter, after mastering the Coalition of the Red Star on every turn, the Rah-Rah-Robot and the forces of the Grand Alliance prepares to face the final target in the siege of Kassala: a target that refuses to fall, which is Abasi Hakim and his own Rah-Rah-Robot copycat.

This chapter is also where this mission would be the final test of the Rah-Rah-Robot's true heroism, bravery and courage, and according to Gen. Diana Lorrington, she never saw any one of those mecha pilots quit, and she doesn't expect she ever will.

When the Rah-Rah-Robot finally defeated Abasi Hakim and his own Rah-Rah-Robot copycat, Ralphie Tennelli announces the death of Hakim and his crew members by saying "sic semper tyrannis" to the destroyed mecha.

At the end of the chapter, Ralphie Tennelli says that the siege is over, thinks to himself that once the Nile River Coalition is, once a mighty force, crumbling around the Grand Alliance, and is because of the tenacity, the skill and the guts of the Rah-Rah-Robot and her crew members that America and the rest of the Grand Alliance triumphed, and acknowledged that the dedication and supreme sacrifice exhibited by these mecha pilots and soldiers makes he and his crew proud and honored to be mecha pilots and pilots of the Rah-Rah-Robot.

"My Rah-Rah-Robot, victorious. Our team, victorious. Abasi Hakim's Rah-Rah-Robot, doomed. His team, doomed." Ralphie said, "And the mighty Pep Dude, will not forever be known as Pep Dud... but, the Mighty Pep Dude will now forever be known as..."

"Iron Warthog?" Tim said. "Nah! I want a better idea," Ralphie replied. "Like I said, the mighty Pep Dude, or Pep Dud if I called that in our first test when that got broke and repaired back then before the big game and that great war we were in, will forever be known as..." then Jyoti said, continued from what Ralphie said, "The Star-Spangled Warthog!" My, I guess she likes to make the Rah-Rah-Robot crew members look even patriotic to the United States of America than they look spiritful to the Walkerville Warthogs, and now, everyone will love them even more now than in the volleyball game!

Soon, they really agree this, then Ms. Frizzle said, "Oh, really? Well, I'd like to call that The Star-Spangled Iron Warthog too." The Dark Lord Knight replied, "Oh! I like it! I'm sure I'd rather be a Star-Spangled Undead then, but good job guys. Hope my actions in my own Gundam spark rebellion against Chariot and hopes to have the new King of the Undeads who is friendly to humans and can support the Grand Alliance. Can it be me? Well, I hope you guys did great. Keep on defending liberty, six of you kids. After this, America will love you for defending liberty, and hopefully, me too for keeping me on track on my redemption."

SpongeBob smiled and saluted to Arnold, Carlos, Wanda, Ralphie, D.A. and Keesha gleefully, then he said "I'm so proud of you soldiers!"

Trivia

 * When the Rah-Rah-Robot said "sic semper tyrannis," it is a reference to when John Wilkes Booth just said after he even killed Abraham Lincoln during a play called Our American Cousin' in in Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. at the near end of the American Civil War, according to his diary.
