TH 129 - The b34t is l33t

EBA! EBA! EBA! EBA!
YEEEAAAAHHH!!! MISSION COMPLETE!

I actually made this a few weeks ago already, even before TH 128. I just sort-of forgot about it. XD
Anyways, an Elite Beat Agents parody-esque strip, because I know you all love it. And so do I.

....For those totally not in the know about Elite Beat Agents;
It's a rhythm-game on the DS, where you have to tap numbers on the screen to the beat of the music in order to win missions.
The Elite Beat Agents appear at those moments in people's lives where everything just seems to go wrong and there's nothing you can do about it except scream for HEEEEEEAAAALLLPPPP!!!!!

About halfway through the game, there's this mission where you have to make a little girl feel better after having lost her father in an accident. Through MUSIC!
It's kind of a shock when you play through the game, since up until then, the stories built around the missions are nothing short of whimsical; things like a taxi driver who, despite having been warned about his reckless driving, has to pedal to the metal to get a pregnant woman to the hospital ASAP, or a nightclub-illusionist who plays the hero and uses his cheap magic tricks to save a casino from playing-card themed robbers, or the son of a Japanese car dealer who has to use his previously unheard-of NINJA POWERZ to retrieve a stolen prototype from a rivalling company.
Y'know, stuff like that. And then suddenly, the game throws you a curveball and makes you solve the tragedy of a little girl's deceased father.

So yeah, the mission has some very emotional cut-scenes, the music is a tear-jerker as well ("You're the Inspiration" by Chicago), and even though I made this before it happened, I suppose it's even kind-of appropriate, what with the recent loss of my mother.
As such, I'm glad I lent that game out to a friend of mine, since I'm afraid I'll never be able to play that particular mission again.

Oh, and here's a little comic you might enjoy now that you know about it.
