- Mike K as Gritch Sundown: Now they'll see why kicking me out was a bad idea, I've returned with my family.
Gritch returns to the Uncle Bill's cave with his new plaything Vanna Black. The neices and nephews all parted as Gritch paraded her down the cul de sac with a chain around her neck and her eyes cast at the ground.
"Why Brother Gritch, I never knew you had it in you. Nephew Chet, you'll be riding in the rear of the convoy Gritch will be be leading us into glorious battle," Uncle Bill said as he hugged Gritch in front of the onlooking nieces and nephews.
They staged the convoy of cars just outside of the cave. As they are doing last minute checks on their cars, Gritch sees a scout car leaving 2-DR. They seem to take off suddenly as they come into view of the convey. Gritch tears away from the front of convoy to catch up to the scout car. He is able to pull more power out of the old engine than he expected and closes the distance quickly. He tries to hit the front end of their car and misses. The scout car manages to smash into Gritch's car and drive it off the road. It putters to a stop, Gritch struggles to get the car going again and by the time he does the scout car has already gotten away.
He waits in the middle of the road for the convoy to catch up and announces to them, "They'll be expecting us now. Slight change of plans, but we're still going, even without the element of surprise."

Meanwhile Chief is setting up her concession stand for The Bigger Show while the construction of the gauntlet arena is being completed. One of her gang reports back back to her about placing the explosives below the surface of 1-DR. They got them all placed exactly where she'd illustrated on the map and the map has been burned.
"Good, now we just need to wait for that walking pile of human garbage in a kilt to show up and the show can REALLY begin," Chief's expression was one of emotionless determination.

Li'l Walt stood on top of the stage cage welcoming all his VIP guests to the VIP viewing area. His beast Satin below being pumped full of strange chemical enhancements he'd commissioned from all the best dope dealers in the wastes. works on prepping for the show.
"Welcome old friends and new friends, please, should you need any sort of filth or substance to enhance your viewing experience just let me or my VIP crew know and we'll see if we can't get you sorted out," Li'l Walt said to the room as the guests were filing in.
One of his VIP crew approached Li'l Walt and whispers into his ear that a scout came in and reports seeing Gritch with Vanna Black in chains and a medium sized gang heading this way.
"Perfect, it sounds like our first set of volunteer contestants is on it's way. Open the gates for them and put more guards on the walls, don't attack unless they don't go for the gate," Li'l Walt replied to the VIP crew before picking up his microphone, "Folks our contestants are approaching, it'll only be a matter of time before the show kicks off. How about some gauntlet grease to keep you entertained while you wait?"
Li'l Walt's crew dumped some prisoners from the last attempted raid on 1-DR in the middle of the gauntlet. The crowd roared as the panicked prisoners were killed by the gauntlet's many traps as they tried to run toward the exit.
Gritch and Uncle Bill's cult arrive at 1-DR to find the gates wide open. Smelling an obvious set up, Gritch heads toward his alternate route in through the city's storm drains. He takes a small crew including Vanna and Chet with him to infiltrate 1-DR through the storm drains.

Just before entering the storm drain, Gritch sets off a flare that explodes into the shape of a dick. Chief sees the signal and shakes her head disapprovingly before sending her gang off to find the tankers of industrial lubricant that Gritch had stolen before his exile.
The ones who made it to the ladder emerge from the sewers just past the gauntlet of traps at the entrance to the arena stage.
As they look toward the main gates for possible retreat, they slam closed and Li'l Walt laughs over the loud speaker, "Looks like our contestant are trying to take the easy way out, and have Satin bring them a quick death instead of the gauntlet's slow painful one. Have at 'em Satin."
Satin lumbers toward the group slowly while Li'l Walt's gang opens fire on Gritch forcing them to retreat as near to the gauntlet as they can and take cover. Under heavy fire Gritch sends off another dick flare desperate for help. Chief sets off some of her explosives that had been placed at the main gate. Chet immediately charges for the exit toward what's left of Uncle Bill's gang who are mounting a fast retreat.
Gritch tweaks Vanna's brain and she is sent into a furious rage, "Whose a good girl? Whose a good girl? You are. Yes you are. Now be a good girl and go deal with that big beast of Li'l Walt's."
Vanna flew at Satin they exchanged blows, but Satin ultimately crushed Vanna and tossed her body into the arena cage. Gritch tries to get away, but Satin catches him and throws him into the arena cage and follows after him.
The loud screech of an approaching nuclear sandstorm filled with mutant sandworms could be heard through the now gaping hole where the main gates used to be.
As Satin is approaching an injured Gritch, Chief blows the ring of explosives she had placed around the arena stage. Sending the entire structure down about 200 feet into what had once been a cargo hold on the ship before it crashed. Li'l Walt and the VIP's although shaken were relatively unharmed by the fall.
Li'l Walt stands up and pulls out an enormous revolver. He immediately opens fire on Gritch, hitting him directly in the chest and sending Gritch crumpling to the ground, barely clinging to life.
As Satin approached bullets ripped through his head and he fell to the ground. Chief was on the edge of the platform with a high powered rifle.
"That kill is mine, mother fucker," she whispered to Satin through the rifle scope.

Gritch was done with this fighting bullshit and wanted out and fast. He was able to find easy place to climb out of the pit, but in the process of his climb he lost hold of his violation glove to get a good hold as he was climbing.
Chief was waiting for him at the top, aiming her rifle at him as he dragged himself out of the pit, "You son of bitch. Why did you screw Toyota while we were together and on my birthday?"
"Well...he was there. These things happen. He meant nothing to me," Gritch scrambled for an excuse.
Chief ignored his ramblings, demanded that he stand up and march toward the approaching sandworms or take a bullet in the face from her right now. Gritch held his head high and was last seen disappearing into the storm punching sandworms in the face as they approached him.

Li'l Walt emerged from the pit shortly after. He grabbed a microphone "Chief McFigglesworth, you're today's lucky winner, come on down and join me on the stage here." Always the consummate showman. Chief felt pangs of the love she'd once felt for Li'l Walt and his dream of making the wasteland and enjoyable place to be not just a place to survive.
"Why don't you forget all this mess and be my new cohost?"
Chief stumbled forward staring at Li'l Walt, tears in her eyes, "It's too late." She set off the last of her explosives which sent a trail of meat leading the sandworms through the walls into 1-DR, "I wish you had told me before the show, I would have loved to have been your cohost. We could have avoided all this."
"You stupid stupid vegetarian." drops the mic, chokes the life out of her as the sandworms approach.
Standing over her lifeless body surrounded by sandworms, Li'l Walt straightened his crown and his suit before saying, "Ladies and gentleman, how'd you like to be the biggest thing to hit the wasteland since the apocalypse. I'll make you darlings into stars. BIG stars. Whaddaya say?"
Li'l Walt is always the consummate showman no matter the odds.
