  • The Ballad Of Season 18
    Sep 16 2025

    Well OVER’s building up tier 4

    They’re thinking that they control

    True permanence

    True permanence

    But Michael’s in Riga with Mike

    They’re working for the TryLeg

    Corporation

    And they notice

    The crows are sounding just like Leg

    There’s something strange that’s going down

    In Texas, oh

    They’ll find it

    Mike stops by the Valley to see

    Mikey who installs The Ram in tier 2

    To see what they knew


    And meanwhile

    Down in Bluster’s Grove

    The Legs are piling up

    But from where nobody knows

    The scrapyard is a hotbed

    Of things that no one should have got

    Their grubby paws on yet


    69 is dead and Mike arrives

    Only to be corrected by Chance

    And not circumstance

    He explains what’s happening

    The Lionhorse attacks and they’re trapped in

    The warehouse

    They see some horrors in some vats

    But Stinky shows up with leg and he

    Rescues their doomed asses

    He takes them to the future where

    He has been leglocked thanks to Bradford Beaumont

    He’s their new boss


    And meanwhile

    On the island

    Felix cleans it up

    But he leaves a mess behind

    Lieutenant

    In his evil ways

    Finds a way to get himself free

    To unite OI


    Mikey’s in an awful jam

    He made the mistake of trusting Eagle

    What a damn fool

    He iterates and tortures him

    Replaces him with a docile iteration

    A distraction

    He’s heading down to Bluster’s Grove

    When Lieutenant says all he knows

    They’re changing up the operation

    He’s traveled halfway around the world

    And found a village of Michaels ripe for

    Elimination


    And meanwhile

    In Slovenia

    The gang arrives one-by-one

    And each is thrown in jail

    The trial of the century

    Is hot on their heels as they hope

    Chance will bail them out


    A and M are hunting Tex

    He’s hurt, they need him for what’s next

    They take him

    To the village

    They activate his memories

    They need him to become Judge B

    And help them

    Make decisions

    Michael’s prolonged absence means that

    Dead Man’s off pulling the strings

    Charlie don’t know yet what it means

    To see him at the rendezvous

    He’s fishing for the crust punks now

    He’s rounded them up shipped ‘em out

    They’re going to tier 3


    And meanwhile at the Outpost

    Traitors are all signing up

    To join Lieutenant’s cause

    But Bluster leads resistance

    He rallies the troops at Blust A Groove!

    And Outlaw sends the traitors off



    As for what will happen next

    It’s Stinky’s sacrificial quest

    To get his mitts on

    The mystery box

    The Crust Punks numbers start to dwindle

    But Skinner’s lives and distracts Eagle

    Chance grabs the box and Stinky

    Punches coordinates in and all are off

    Now that they have true permanence

    They all arrive cacophonous

    At the trial, it’s on fire

    M’s at Eagle’s throat with a knife and

    Now the gang’s on the same page

    They put an end to Eagle’s days

    And they restore all the order

    That the Michaels are were longing for


    And meanwhile

    It’s a bad idea

    For Bradford have this much power

    Everyone agree

    The village gets to keep the box

    And most of them don’t have a clue

    What they are fending off


    I ask you, what you think will happen

    With OI gone, there’s no Cured Edgar

    The clock is counting down at

    edgars-death-window.com

    But does OI go down so easy

    I swear there was another Eagle

    In the Ice Lair, hiding out there

    That no one knows about
