Дани Даркблейд, вредный полугоблин (ака Ал103)
Futurama Fic Plot Bunny
In "Benderama" The only members of the military who responded to the giant monster that landed were Zapp and Kif... On a whole planet of drunk people. And Zapp was actually being pretty heroic and competent, and making quips that were... Dare I say it... Funny.
Intentionally funny I mean.
He didn't succeed in stopping the giant but he was putting actual, heroic effort out there.
Which gave me... A crazy idea.
What if Zapp Brannigan is a true awesome space hero, as great as the legends say he is? Intelligent, decisive, awesome...
BUT ONLY WHILE DRUNK?
Alas, this is unknown to everyone else. And when new anti-hard liquor regulations are passed on the Earth military, Zapp tries to keep up. However...
Imagine Kif Croaker, young ensign, top of his class, gets a chance to work for THE Zapp Brannigan! Greatest Space Hero! As his personal assistant!
Kif then notices his captain seems to drink a lot, and being concerned for his well being, removes the alcohol per regulations.
And Zapp Brannigan the dunce... Is revealed.
It would fit with Kif's life that he's responsible for his own terrible fate, after all.
