The Legends of Clown the Jester The Bizarre Flecks Mega War Part 1 Nightmares....Seems to be the only thing I have left...well that and being able to laugh... Over my adventures...I made many enemies many so powerful that they could even control my dreams at night...and turn them into nightmares... Kathool Achoo, Nightmare Queen and More. This nightmare was different.... I was standing in a small town...all the people were walking this way and that.... peaceful enough...I noticed a mother, two brothers, and a little sister...they were playing a game when one of the brothers left...I felt the intense heat before I saw the wave of flames... Akriloth...The once peaceful town was incinerated...just like that...everyone...dead...blood around me....everyone except the brother that left...He pointed at me screaming, "CLOWN! WHY?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE THEM!?!?" Tears in his eyes...the boy turned into the Deadly Pyromancer...Drakonnan...he lept at me. But wielding my ice kantana I brought the pyromancer down... before I finished him, he mummered softy... "Why couldn't you save me?" I tried to beg the maniac for forgiveness...but all he would scream was how I was the cause of the Fire War...All of the blood he spilt was on my hands... The scene changed to watching Ryussi Cartwright killing Garlick...my friend...my ally...The two of us...we fought the network....saved so many faced so much evil...I hated Cartwright. I wanted to kill the man! But he asked me to serve him and his master, to betray my friends, my home, my morals....and I said yes. The World around me goes black...I cant see....suddenly A figure appears in the darkness.... Falerin...the Loremaster...being killed by Seth Dhows....and I did nothing...Why? WHY? As Falerin faded into nothing...Seth Dhows faced me and hissed, "Is the little Birdie Lost from his nest?" I swing my blade at him...hoping to finally rid myself of the evil...but the blade passes right through him...like smoke. "The Little Birdie thinks he has talons. Amusing." Angry I swing again. I hear Garlick, Drakkonan, and Falerin somewhere beging me to save them. "Silly little Birdie you shouldn't waste your time fighting me in a dream." The Mysterious Stranger said. "Esspecially not when your little friends are about to be turned into bird seed." I am suddenly in front of a giant clock...the countdown is set for 14 days....13days 23hours 59minutes 1 second. I sense the Shadow's presence somewhere and his voce hisses in my head, "So much evil the little birdie has fought...and So much evil the little Birdie Created." I loose it. "BE QUIET SHADOW!" I yelled. "FACE ME COWARD!" I heard Dhow's whipered chuckle, "Coward? If you wanted to fight Clown the Jester. You should have asked." Without warning a dozen shadowy figures appear around me... They resemble stick figures...stretching out claws toward me trying to grab me. As they surround me they start changing shape until they form....Falerin... "Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Times running out Little Birdie," Seth Dhows hissed. Part 2 The Falerin copies advanced closer towards me. Limping like zombies, swing their cane's around their heads like clubs. I reached instinctively for my weapon, but my hand grabbed nothing but air. My weapons were gone. I felt defenseless despite being very well trained in unarmed combat. As they stumbled towards me, the Falerins started moaning out, "Why Clown? Why couldn't you save us?" They moaned it over their echoes over one another making the chant sound like, "Why Clown, Why Why, Couldn't Clown, Save Why Clown, Clown, Save Us, Why?" I swung out my fist knocking the closest Falerin to the ground. One from behind swung his cane at my head but I dodged and slammed my fist into his face. Two more grabbed me from behind trying to pin my arms behind my back. I stomped both feet as hard as I could on their toes causing them to release me and give me the chance to knock them both down with a single kick. The Duplicates were nowhere close to as fast as Falerin and didn't seem to have his incredible powers. They were like zombies. I dodged attack after attack, kicking a clone whenever I had an opening. One hit the back of my skull with the handle of his cane. Pain shot through my body...this was no more a simple dream... I realized. This was real I could die if I wasn't careful. I punched the Falerlin that struck me only to be hit across my face by two more. The clones surrounded me. Beating me with their clubs asking sorrowful why I failed to save them. As they continued to beat me I murmmered softy, "I'm sorry." I woke up in my bed to find Artix the Paladin shaking my shoulders. "Clown the Jester," He said releasing me. "An army of monsters are marching from Darkovia to Battleon." I sat up fully awake and asked, "How many?" Artix shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. They seem endless." He stared at my face and asked, "Were you in a fight last night? You look awful." I glanced at my refection in a mirror and saw he was right. My face covered in bruises. My lip had a large cut on it and I had a black eye. "Not important now." I said closing the mater. I quickly grabbed my seven best weapons and my armor. "How much time do we have before they reach Battleon?" I asked in raising my weapon. Artix shook his head grimly, "Clown, they're already here." Part 3 Millions of monsters...ranging from Trolls, Phoenix, and Dracopyres and other monsters which I never even knew of. As we traveled to the front lines Artix filled me in. "We are being added not only by the Guardians, and Paladin Order but also Cenena and her Dracopyre army to combat Donovan's army. Were were ready for war. Artix and I charged together followed by an army of the greatest heroes Lore had to offer. I was in my Elastic Armor wielding my ice kantana, Artix wielding his Undead Slaying Axe. More than 8 million monsters faced us. Artix fired a wave of light out at a small group of Skeletons. My Ice Kantana froze a Fire Phoenix in a block of solid Ice. To our surprise the Skeletons did not seem to be affected at all by Arix's holy attack. The Phoenix I trapped suddenly unfroze it's flames covering it's body not even diminished. "What?" I murmured. Behind me a wizard tried to drown a group of Zzotts with a tidal wave of Water, only to be swarmed by the Zzotts not even deterred by the water. A Guardian to my right slashed his Fire blade into an Ice dragon only to be set on fire by the Ice dragon who emitted a wave of fire from it's mouth. "What is going on?" I asked shooting a wave lightning at a Hungry Kraken. The Creature didn't even notice. A troll grabbed me from behind, lifting me into the air by my neck. He tried to strangle me unaware my Elastic armor would make it next to impossible. My fist stretched out and started growing wider and wider as if being inflated by an air pump. My heavy fist smashed down on the Troll's head knocking it unconscious. Artix and I knew our side was doing badly already. Less then twenty minutes in the first fight and we already lost a large number of troops with the other side having minimal loss. Why weren't the monsters being affected by their elemental weaknesses? Artix called out the retreat as we were being pushed back more and more. We were suppose to stop the Army of Monsters fourteen days way from Battleon. But we didn't even slow them down. By the time our forces were a safe distance away I met with Artix, Cerena, and Warlic. "My half brother's forces are surrounding the Lycan and Vampire territories no doubt another attempt to fulfill my father's dream of Uniting Darkovia under a single rule." Cenena said pointing at a map of Lore. I turned to Warlic and asked, "Why are the monster's not being affected by their elemental weakness?" The blue mage scratched his chin think hard and said, "These monsters are not the same monsters we have faced before. They are copies who were then Reversed." "Reversed?" Artix interrupted. "So you mean they are immune to their weaknesses?" "Not only that," Warlic continued. "But they now attack with their elemental weakness." "How?" I asked. "Who created them?"Suddenly the tent the four of us were in was illuminated by a bright light. I shielded my eyes seeing someone had teleported in. As the light faded I reconized the white haired man, with an owl on his shoulder. "Eldron," I said amazed. Without acknowledging my greeting he addressed the party saying, "It's him. It's Seth Cay Dhow, and he has Falerin with him." Part 4 Eldron told us of Seth Cay Dhow and his new ally of the Fracture of Falerin. If the Mysterious Stranger was behind this war, we were in for the fight of our lives. The others would deal with the army of Reversed Monsters, I had to get to Seth Cay Dhow and the Fracture of Falerin before things got out of control. Only one person would know where the Mysterious Stranger would be hiding. NightReign. I approached the Nightbane's old lair where he nearly took complete control of Darkovia so many years ago. To my surprise it was easy sneaking into the Castle. Walking down the halls, listening for any guards. But it was empty. Why? Donovan has a large enough army to spare at least a hundred guards for his castle. I felt the bight mark on the back of my neck. Still stinging to the touch as if a fresh wound. The bite NightReign himself made turning me into a Dracopyre. As I came to the heavy old door that would lead to NightReign's throne I gave up with the idea of Stealth. I kicked the heavy door down satisfied with the loud booming sound it produced when it crashed to the floors. The Throne was not empty as I hoped. Donovan in his human form along with two of his minions. A Dracovampire Lord and a Dracowerewolf Lord. "Howdy Gentlemen," I said entering the large room. Donovan rose from his throne and hissed angrily, "How dare you! Disrespecting the ruler of Darkovia! Disturbing my planning!" I smirked at him. "Your not the ruler yet Donny Boy. and you never will be." Donovan motioned to his two body guards. "Tear him to pieces." The two monsters lunged at me. Instantly I transformed into my Dracopyre form. I slashed my claws across the Dracowerewolf's face and sprouted out my two wings plunging them into his chest. The Dracovampire swooped down on me only to be incinerated by my darkness breath. I flexed my incredible Dracopyre muscles. I could feel the incredible strength in speed in my body. I growled at Donovan, "Where is he Donovan?" Donovan smiled transforming into NightReign. "You may be more than a match for my servants but now you will face a true Dracopyre," he hissed clenching and unclenching his claws. I leaped at NightReign, my claws stretched, only to grab air and be slashed across the face by NightReign's dagger like nails. Before I could even react he grabbed me around my waist lift me into the air and threw me across the room. I slamed hard into a wall and crashed on top of a table. NightReign cackled and hissed, "This is going to be amusing." Part 5 NightReign slashed his talons across my face again. Grabbing my head and started smashing my head into the stone floor. I swung out both of my powerful legs, kicking NightReign in the face like a Donkey. He stumbled back and I knew I needed to press the attack if I was going to have a chance to beat the Dracopyre. I charged into him like a bull slamming NightReign into the wall. I gripped his throat tightly with one hand while using the other to hold him in place. NightReign gaged trying to struggle out of my grip but I held him down. "WHERE IS HE?" I roared into NightReign's ear. "Tell me where Dhows is Donovan or I swear I will tear your head off!" I tightened my grip trying to force him to comply when he sunk his razor sharp teeth into my arm. I yelped in pain releasing NightReign. Instantly Donovan fired out a blast of energy from his mouth into my chest. I felt my skin burning. My fur was on fire. I started thrashing on the ground trying to put out the flames. I was in agony. NightReign kicked me hard across my face. He picked me up and tossed me out of his throne back into the hallway. With the flames out I wearily stood up only to be knocked back down by the large oak table NightReign threw at me. I stood up trying to regain my balance seeing out of the corner of my eye NightReign flying like an arrow towards me. I swung my fist out smashing into his skull. NightReign fell to the ground caught off guard by my hit. I started punching him over and over even when my fist started bleeding I kept hitting him roaring out, "FEEL LIKE TALKING NOW?" NightReign slashed his claws again across my face. I felt my blood oozing down my cheek. Angrily I yelled, "YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!" I grabbed him by his scaly shoulders hoisted him into the air and blasted him in the face with my darkness breath. The Dracopyre screamed in torment. His face now covered in mine and his own blood. "TELL ME WHERE HIS IS!" I screamed again, the blood boiling in my head. All Donovan could do was scream. Annoyed and loosing taste for the fight I punched NightReign again in the head knocking the King of Dracopyres unconscious. I dropped his body to the ground leaving him not bothering to tend to his wounds. I was not in the mood. Battleon was about to be torn apart by monsters and Seth Cay Dhows had a copy of Falerin on his side. I had seen what Falerin could do. If his copy had even half of the Deity's powers, I was not sure we could win this war. If I could not find the Mysterious Stranger, I would have to first deal with his army and then find him after. As I left the castle I heard a voice above me calling out, "Clown the Jester!" I transformed back into my human for and saw Divara decending from the air and landing beside me. "What is is Divara?" I asked seeing how worried he was. "We have a problem." he said grimly. I laughed wearily. "Don't we always?' Part 6 "Uncreation energy?!?" I cried out as Divara finished his findings. "You mean like what the Devourer used?" Divara nodded. "Does that mean the Devourer is returning to Lore?" I asked. Theres no way we could battle the Devourer and his forces along with fighting Seth Cay Dhows's. I do not think so," Divara said spreading his wings. "But any increase in Uncreation energy is never a good thing. Meet me back at your war camp." he called out flying into the air and out of sight. I started to journey back when I noticed 4 pairs of eyes hiding behind the trees. Staring at me. I drew my weapons and saying, "I know you're there." Lycans four of them. The Alpha Wolf walked out out from behind the trees growling, "You're Clown the Jester, The Werewolf King is just dieing for someone to bring your head to him. After your betrayal from the Lycans to become a Dracopyre, you should have considered yourself dead." "I don't have time for this Lycan." I said raising my weapons preparing to strike. The Lycans laughed, their leader spoke again. "We are our king's best Lycan assassins. Between us we have killed 979 vampires." I smiled deviously, "And between myself I have NightReign, 782 Dracopyres, 1,248 Werewolves, 1,143 Vampires, and 124 werepyres. I hope you don't mind if I'm not so intimidated." The Alpha Lycan growled angrily, "Traitor! Killing so many of your own kind!" He pounced on me, knocking me to the ground. I turned back to my Dracopyre form biting his hand. The Alpha Lycan howled in agony giving me the chance to slam my powerful fist into his face. The other Lycans began to advance when their Alpha held his hand growling, "This is my fight! Stand your ground!" The Lycans drew back watching our brawl. He swung around ramming his shoulder into my chest knocking the wind out of me. He was very good not only was he close to ten feet tall he was surprisingly quick. He hit me across the face with the back of his hand and lift me over his head throwing me at an tree. Instinctively I spun around in air, my feet contacting the tree trunk and I pushed off it like a spring slamming into the Alpha Lycan Knocking him to the ground. I smashed my fist into his face expecting him to be knocked unconscious. No luck he took the hit and smashed his own fist into my face. Felt like being hit in the head by gauntlets. He punched me again across the face. My wings sprouted out again impaling both into his chest. The Lycan wailed in agony and suddenly plunged his razor claws into my neck. I cried out in pain. I could feel the claws tearing at my skin. My wings withdrew from the Lycans chest, his wounds slowly healing. His regeneration rate was incredible. I tried pulling away from the Lycan but his claws held me in place. I remembered an old saying one of my trainers Grimweld the Warrior taught me. "If your opponent is much stronger than you and has you in his grasp. You may not be able to pull out of it, but you may be able to push into it and make him want to let you go." Confusing right? So instead of focusing on trying to get out of his grasp I shot out both of my claws clapping them both hard against his sensitive ears. The Lycan howled in agony releasing me covering his ears with his paws. I leaped seven feet into the and brought my entire weight down on the Lycan knocking him to the ground, motionless. I placed two clawed fingers to his neck. He still had a pulse though he wasn't going to be killing any vampires anytime soon. His Lycan pack stared at me. I knew what they were thinking. I beat their Alpha that made me their new leader. Perhaps I could use their tracking skills to my advantage. "Find Seth Cay Dhows. Learn what he is planning and report back to me." I said standing to my full height as a Dracopyre close to seven feet. The pack bowed to my command and darted back into the woods. I continued my journey back to our War Camp unaware that Seth Cay Dhows was watching my movements even now and that the Lycan Pack I sent to find him would never be heard from again. Part 7 As I drew near to the camp I heard a voice say from behind me, "Clown the Jesters, a pleasure to meet you again." I tensed hearing the voice. My blood grew icy cold. Ryussi Cartwright. The man who killed my friend Garlick. The man who hired me into his Network army and then tried to kill me. Despite the recent good deeds he had done for us with fighting his son Absolix and fighting Xira the Necromancer, I still hated him deep down. Behind him, was his Parallel Universe version who also helped us in the Bizarre Fleck War. He I had no beef against. "Cartwrights," I said monotone. Artix, Eldron, and Divara joined us. Ryussi muttered quietly, "Yes I feel the Uncreation Energy. It seems to be everywhere." "What does it mean?' Divara asked. Ryussi shook his head saying, "I'm not sure," "Neither Do I," his counterpart said. "Where is it coming from?" Artix asked. "Is it coming from the Devourer?" Ryussi shook his head again staring in amazement around him as if he was seeing something the rest of us were not. "I'm not sure I could find where the energy is coming from before Battleon is hit by the full force of the Reverse Army," he said closing his eyes concentrating. "We don't have time for this, Ryussi ask your master the origin." Eldron said. Ryussi nodded and suddenly transformed into the omega. I couldn't help but step back. That form killed me during the war against the Devourer with a flick of his wrist. "Master It is your servant, Ryussi Cartwright." "Yes Ryussi Cartwright?" A strange voice said, that seemed to come from everywhere around me. "Is that the Devourer?" I asked. Eldron held up his hand signalling for me to be silent. "Master, There is an increase of Uncreation energy. Please tell me where it is coming from." Cartwright continued. "As you wish Ryussi Cartwright, the Uncreation energy is being omitted from Mount Thrall," the Devourer said. Ryussi Cartwright changed back to normal from his Omega form and said, "That is where we must go next." Artix nodded replying, "Cenera and I shall stay behind to hold back the Reverse Army while the rest of you investigate Mount Thrall." Eldron thought for a moment and said, "Clown the Jester I have a very important task for you, You most go find..." Before he could finish, a green light shined around me blinding me and my allies, when the light finally died I saw I was no longer at our War Camp but in Falerin's office. There sitting at his table was a ghostly green Falerin looking up and seeing me. "Clown the Jester," the Deity said. "I need your help." Part 8 The Lycan pack ran through the Darkovia forest as silent as the wind. After forcing information from a Dracovamp they learned where Seth Cay Dhows was hiding. They sneaked past the 743 Reverse Monsters guarding Seth Dhow's base using their incredible senses to locate the Mysterious Stranger. One of the Lycans found two figures talking in a clearing among the trees. The three Lycans silently drew closer and closer to the two hiding behind a tree and a large bolder. Yes they found Seth Cay Dhows, and he appeared to be talking to Falerin's saying, "But... they might run rampant..." Dhows whispered, "True...and that will slow down those who would impede us." Falerin shook his head again. "They could be pretty disruptive... buddy and that might draw us unwanted attention." Buddy? One of the Lycan's wrinkled his nose not recognizing the sent of the Deity. This figure was not Falerin. Dhows coolly replied, "But you said that you wished to test them, did you not? Think of it as the ultimate experiment into their stability. The Lorians will have to go to war to clean up the mess, and you and I are free to do our other work unimpeded..." Falerin chuckled murmuring, "I like it..." Dhows slowly turned his hooded head to the tree and bolder the Lycans were hiding behind. "It appears Ardendor, three spying Birdies are watching us planning to spoil our plans like Stool Pigeons." The Lycans had been discovered. The three instantly tried to bolt away when Ardendor raise his staff. The Lycans were lifted into the air by an unseen force and thrown at Dhow's feet. "Lycans," Dhows chuckled examining the pack. "Who would have thought infecting Constantin with that wolf curse so many years ago would cause so many tedious problems for us?" One of the Lycans leaped to his feet slashing his claws at Dhows. Seconds before the claws touched Dhows, a black crackle of lightning omitted from withing Dhows's hood hitting the Lycan. The Werewolf howled in agony, his fur turning black as coal and the Lycan turned into a dark pile of dust. His two comrades stared in absolute fear. Dhows chuckled softly. "Goodbye little birdies perhaps this lesson will convince your disgusting race never to spy on a Mysterious Stranger ever again." He hissed venomously. The two Lycans wailed as they were burned to ashes and were blown away by the wind into the Darkovia Forest. "Ready to teleport Ardendor?" Dhows asked. "Allons-y!" his companion replied and the two vanished. Part 9 I was in Lore's Parallel universe, formerly ruled by the Evil Necromancer/dictator Xitra Regerik until Artix, Warlic Galanoth the Cartwrights and myself over through him. Falerin had sent me here to recover another piece of his Childhood in order to reform. I had just persuaded a Frature called Super Strong Ultra Mega Falerin Man to rejoin his other pieces in Falerin's crystal. "Two down," I muttered. I was about to leave when I noticed a familiar Drakel exiting the ruined Guardian Tower. "Bree-HA!," I cried out startling the Governer of the K'eld Naer. The Drakel glared at me with contempt hissing, "Clown the Jester! I must admit I thought I was the only one with the means of traveling between universes. How fascinating!" "Last time I saw you, I believe you lost a certain civil war with your own people," I said grinning. "I was hoping to run into you before you ran off." "How dare you insult me you inferior creature!" Bree-Ha shrieked, spit jetting out of his scaly jaws. "Guards! Kill this human!" From behind Bree-Ha, eight Drakels armed with electrical shock spears, appeared from behind their Drakel Minister and lunged at me. Wielding my Blade of Awe I blocked the first Drakels spear, shot out me leg and kicked the Drakel hard in the chest knocking him to the ground. Two came out from behind trying to stab me with their weapons. I leaped over the both of them landing behind them hitting the first drakel in the head with my swords handle and stabbing the other with my sword. BUZZZAPP! I cried out in pain as a Drakel stabbed his Shock Spear into my ankle sending a hundred volts of electricity through my body. My vision grew fuzzy my teeth chattering but I started swinging my sword around wildly the other Drakels backed up knowing what the Blade of Awe could do. As my vision started to clear I slashed my sword out breaking the Drakel's spear and smashing my fist into his face knocking him out. Another two Drakels came at me at both sides slashing their spears at me. I grabbed the pole part of the first spear and jammed it into the shoulder of the other Drakel electrifying it. He screamed falling to the ground thrashing like a wild animal. I whipped my sword around taking down his comrade. The remaining Drakel seeing me take down seven of his comrades dropped his spear, running off in the other direction, and leaving Bree-Ha defenseless. "Coward!" Bree-Ha cried out after the fleeing Drakel. "Come back here and defend me! I command you!" I slowly walked over to Bree-Ha holding my sword to his neck. "Sorry Bree-Ha. But your all alone this time." Bree-Ha snickered at me, his reptilian eyes jetting back in forth. "Actually Clown the Jester, I do have one last line of defense set up. I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it yet. It is a mere prototype but I feel you would be the perfect test to see what it can really do." Bree-Ha clapped his hands loudly. For a moment there was complete Silence. Then I heard a loud thud from far off. Another thud like a mini earthquake...louder and closer...another boom and another far off in the forest I saw trees collapsing and falling over... Bree-Ha, seeing me distracted backed out of the reach of my sword... I saw it... It was gigantic... enormous... close to a hundred feet tall, and made out of metal...A colossal sized mechanical humanoid machine. It lumbered over to me...it's foot crushing Aria's Pet Shop flat... "Behold Human, the first completely restored Mech!" Bree-Ha shouted over the loud booming foot steps. "My engineers found it in a parallel universe, the last of its kind! This shall be the weapon that restores the Drakels to their rightful place as the Superior Race! Every filthy elf, orc, dwarf, and human will be destroyed by my future army of Giant Mechs!" The Mech lowered it's mighty hand scooping me up. I struggled in it's iron grip. "You shall serve," Bree-Ha screamed, "As the first creature to feel the wrath of THIRD THE UNIVERSO!" Part 10 The Universo lift me into the air I rose 70 maybe 80 feet...the Robot's powerful hand was crushing me. I struggled, I flailed around. I tried to pry his oak tree thick fingers off me. All in Vain. Universo tightened his grip. If this keeps up I'll be broken like a twig, I realized. Finally I pried my arm with my sword out from the Mech's pointer finger and thumb. Instantly I started hacking at the Colossal's knuckles trying to cut my way out. No Luck The Blade of Awe was one of my sharpest weapons and it wasn't even denting the heavy reinforced armor. Universo raised his mighty hand up to his mechanical eye. His window sized ruby red eyes started glowing. I had fought enough monsters to know whenever something's eyes glow its about to shoot a laser beam at you....I had also fought enough monsters to know the eyes were a vulnerable spot. I stabbed my Blade of Awe into the left eye. The eye shattered like glass instantly the Mech dropped me using it's metal hand to cover it's broken eye. I fell..70 maybe 80 feet. Before I landed I cast a ice spell and the next thing I knew I had landed on a pile of snow... I love magic so much! Universo turned it's attention back to me lifting it's powerful leg into the air. It's foot looming over my head. "Oh boy," I murmured and started running. Universo's foot started falling down on me fast about to crush me like a bug. I kept running faster and faster. BOOM! His foot smashed into the ground just a couple of feet away from me. The ground shook like a tremor I nearly fell but I fought against it. When fighting a monster that is close to twice the size of the Guardian tower you don't ever fall down. I had foughten giant monsters before. Carnax, Slugoth the Ultra Giant, Akrilioth, but this Universo was definitely larger than any of them. As I evaded another stomp by a couple of inches I remembered what Bree-Ha said, "Every filthy elf, orc, dwarf, and human will be destroyed by my future army of Giant Mechs!" I doubted an army could take down a single one of these Mechs let alone an army of these Mechs. But Bree-Ha said this was a prototype the only known Mech in the universe. If I destroyed this Mech Completely maybe his Drakel Scientist would not be able to construct another. I jumped into the damaged Yulgar's Inn as Universo fired out from the base of his head a laser catching the inn on fire. I ran into the lounge as a giant metal hand burst down through the roof smashing Yulgar's shop table flat. I started to run deeper into the inn when a burning support beam fell in front of my path. I coughed from all the smoke. Another massive fist smashed through the side wall knocking over tables, and chairs. I ran into a wall smashing my shoulder into it. Despite the pain shooting through my body, the wall collapsed giving me the means to escape the Inn/death trap. Universo turned seeing me. A turret came out of a compartment in his metal foot aiming at me about to fire. Using so Generalist magic I learned, I summoned a large fist made entirely of a rock. I sent it like a torpedo into the turret damaging the gun to much to fire. Before I could congratulate myself Universo swung his gigantic hand flicking me twenty feet into the air as if swatting a fly. I landed on the ground rolling. I struggled to stand up. My face was bleeding, and I had a sprained ankle that somehow managed to not get broken. Pain shot up my leg as I pulled myself to my feet. The Universo raised it's hand over my head sending it down trying to crush me. With every muscle in my body I leaped. I leaped as far as I could praying that somehow I would make it. Sometimes it is my lucky day. I barely avoided the gigantic hand that smashed a large crater into the ground were I was mere seconds ago. I limped as fast as I could toward the lopsided Guardian Tower. I didn't remember how Xitra Regerik left the tower and whether or not the weapons from my world's guardian tower were in this one. Universo reached down tearing up Warlic's Magic Shop with one hand and threw it at me like a football. I cast a wind spell blowing the house off course just enough to miss me. SMASH! The Shop broke into splinters. I limped on casting a spell bringing a tidalwave of water over Universo's massive head hoping it would short circuit the Mech. Universo started sputtering the red light from his one good eye flickered, he waved it's arms wildly. Sparks jetted out from his neck. I was so sure I beat the robot...when the Sputtering, waving, and sparks stopped and the Mech turned back to face me lumbering quickly towards me. I levitated a tree into the air and threw it at the Mech. The tree bounced off his chest without even denting his armor. I limped on casting a meteorite spell smashing a giant flaming rock meteorite the Mech's head. The rock broke like a cookie upon impact but it did dent the Metal head slightly...but not enough to stop Universo. I finally reached the Tower I crawled threw the sideway door just seconds before Universo's hand smashed threw the door, reaching in as if the tower was a mail box slot. Hold on, I thought thinking hard. Universo? Mech? This seemed so familiar. A loud crashing sound that shook the whole building reminded me why I was here. I limped over to the weapons rack searching for any Guardian items. Nothing. the Shelves were empty. Universo's fist smashed through the ceiling above me. Stone and Rubble collapsed on me burying me. A Support beam fell over landing on top of me. I was trapped. Part 11 I started lifting the heavy beam. Universo's hand crushed the War table far off. With every once of strength I pushed the beam off me. Universo started punching hole after hole into the Guardian tower. I knew my best bet was to use another Water attack but I needed time to recharge on mana after using so many powerful spells in a row. Another loud smash shook the tower. The walls around me started crumbling. It wouldn't be long before the whole building collapsed. Another smash. I didn't have anymore time. I needed to get out of this tower. Most of my spells didn't even phase the Mech, his armor was to strong to be dented by my sword. What could I possible do to stop Universo? Where did I know the name Universo? Something...yes...something about...Zoragon....whatever that was... For some reason I thought about a younger Dr.Voltabot...no...Boltabot. Yes. I had fought this giant Mech before. Twice I think. Universo's hand smashed down on me grabbing me around the waist pulling me out of the collapsing tower and threw me across to the ground. Universo pressed his heavy foot on me holding me in place. Using my free hand I started slashing my Blade of Awe at the Titanic foot. Not even a scratch. Universo's head laser started charging about to fire, and this time I would not be able to run. I was about to swing my sword again when I heard a loud pulsing sound like a distress signal emitting from my blade. YES! If I am very very very very lucky then maybe...just maybe...Behind Universo a giant portal appeared out from it...the Guardian Dragon Emerged answering my prays. "UNBELIEVABLE!" The Dragon cried out. "I WAS ENJOYING A NICE TOASTY DWARF AND YOU CALL ME AWAY TO DEAL WITH THIS OVER SIZED TIN CAN?" Universo turned from me to face the Dragon. The Dragon was almost up to Universo's shoulders if the Guardian Dragon could not beat this Mech nothing would. His forehead fire the laser out hitting the Guardian Dragon in the face. The Dragon stumbled back crying out in pain. Once regaining his balance he roared, "THATS IT ONE ROASTED ROBOT COMING UP!" The Dragon fired out from his mouth an intense wave of fire hitting Universo. The force of the blast lift the Mech into the air smashing it back down, pieces flying off. The head of the Mech had melted into a distorted goo. His left arm was blown off. A huge hole in his chest. Universo was down. He was dead. I turned to the Guardian Dragon about to thank him when he vanished without saying anything. I climbed up Universo's head. My feet could feel the heated metal. I jabbed my sword into the Mech Pilot Door. Prying it open I found a Burning Drakel at the controls. Dead. Scanning the controls I found the button I was looking for. Self Destruct. I pressed it and started to run. By the time I was a safe distance away the giant Mech was blasted into ruble. A loud explosion shook Lore. The Mech was destroyed. With No signs of Bree-Ha I used Falerin's crystal to teleport to the Next Frature of Falerin's childhood. After I found all the pieces I would head to Mount Thrall to find the others and more importantly the source of the Uncreation energy. Part 12 I finished Falerin's quest and was on my way to Mount Thrall. Unfortunately a large force of the Reverse monsters had gathered around the Mountain. "Great," I muttered. I needed to get to that mountain now! I started charging at the monsters. The Reverse Monsters were now immune to their old weaknesses and now vulnerable to their strength elements. I fired a bolt of lighting at a group of Zzotts electrocuting them to a crisp. A Reverse Kraken shot out a tentacle trying to grab me. I leaped over the tentacle casting a small rain cloud above the Monster drenching it. To my surprise the creature acted like it was shocked by a bolt of lightning, sparks jetting out left and right. A Reverse Troll lumbered at me hitting me into the air with his club. I landed in front of a Reverse Steppe Mastodon. The monster swung out one of it's long tusks slamming it into my side. I cried out pain gripping to the tusk. The monster shook it's tusk left and right trying to remove me. I stabbed my Ice Kannta into the monster's head killing it instantly. I then levitated a tree dropping it on top of the Thunder Troll that had hit me before. I continued up the mountain swallowing a Reverse Shadow Wolf in a cloud of Darkness, illuminating a Reverse Sun Eater, Incinerating a Reverse Big Salamander, and beheading a Reverse Iron Golem. I climbed higher and higher pausing to cast a ball of fire at a Reverse Fiery Phoenix or to drown a Reverse Pheron. I as I reached the top I saw four familiar faces Scakk, Saemic,Anna, and The Hollow. I walked towards the group surprised to see the four future time travelers. Before I could even greet them, the Cartwrights appeared beside me. Hollow sat up in his motorcycle growling, "You have a lot of nerve showing your face around here Cartwright!" "We don't have time for this!" I yelled trying to keep the peace. I turned to the Cartwrights. "Did either of you find out where the Uncreation energy is coming from?" I asked. One of them were about to speak when to my surprise some teleported behind me. "Maxwell!" I cried out shocked. "What are you...? How'd you get back? This is great, but I understand... what's going on? Atlas Maxwell. Our ally from the Devourer Saga. He sacrificed himself to trap the devious Agent Smith in the void. Here he was in front of us. Cartwright said softly, "Careful, someone has been whispering in his ear." "Whispering?" I asked. Then I realized the meaning of Cartwright's words. "Dhows! Maxwell you can not trust Dhows!" Maxwell glared at me, "Oh I don't think so Adventurer. Seth Cay Dhows has been the only one that has been honest with me." He raised his sword pointing it at me. "AND YOU!" He cried out. "I WOULD NEVER EXPECT YOU TO BECOME ANOTHER OF THE DEVOURER'S AGENTS!" Part 13 Atlas Maxwell slashed his large sword at my neck about to behead me. I ducked under his blade and leaped back drawing out my Blade of Awe "It isn't so simple like that Maxwell!" I shouted. Maxwell charged at me slashing his sword again. I blocked it with my own sword and pushed the tip of his blade to the ground. "Is Ryuusi Cartwright the Omega to the Devouror or isn't he? How could you forgive him for what he did to you? To Garlick? To Lore? TO ME?!?" Maxwell shouted punching me in the jaw. I stumbled backwards dazed. "Nothing will EVER convince me to forgive him for what he has done to me and mine." He shouted raising his sword about to slice me in half. "Listen to me Maxwell!" I shouted dodging another attack. "Seth Cay Dhows is manipulating you! He's manipulating all of us!" "Epsilon saved me! While you all left me in the Void with Smith to rot!" Maxwell roared at me slashing his sword again at me. "Epsilon?" Cartwright called out shocked. "Impossible! Epsilon was a man made god!" The others stood back watching Maxwell and I, unsure of what to do. "Maxwell please," I pleaded. "Oh yes...the being you call Dhows is the Epsilon," Maxwell barked at Cartwright. "Didn't you know Cartwright? Your people's plan shall be fulfilled at last!" Maxwell slashed the side of my leg with his sword. I cried out in pain falling to the ground. Blood trickled down my leg. Ignoring my cries Cartwright said quietly, "Our people considered Epsilon a god. We aided him...before we realized his nature." The Parraell Ryussei called out, "You cannot trust Epsilon, Atlas, he seeks to destroy the entire universe." I rolled as Maxwell slashed his sword at me. Missing me by inches. "An effort which he will have my help. We shall kill the avatar. Then we rebuild lore in our image." I pulled my self to my feet. My leg still stung. Maxwell's sword had cut right through my Guardian Armor. Maxwell started to advance, "Now, traitors...Stand and fight, or die like the treacherous scum you are. Vengeance is MINE!" Part 14 Maxwell charged at me, sword raised. I blocked his sword with my Blade of Awe. Maxwell swung again, our swords collided a second time, small sparks flew off our blades falling to the ground. I needed to start attacking instead of just defending. Maxwell wanted to kill me. He made his choice. I have to make mine. I slashed my sword at Atlas Maxwell yelling angrily, "I trusted you Maxwell, Falerin trusted you, WE ALL TRUSTED YOU! Do think if we knew where you had died we would not have moved mountains, and traveled entire realms to find you?" Maxwell hit my sword back and kicked me hard in the stomach. The air went out of my chest. I gasped for air, falling to my knees wrapping my arms around my chest. Maxwell shouted back, "I expected you all to save me or at least punish the one who caused all this! I expected you to honor me when the war was over! AND THIS IS WHAT I GET?!?!" He waved his arm motioning everything around him. "Left in a void due to my own sacrifice, my enemies are forgiven as if it was a simple misunderstanding? My own family abandoning me!" Maxwell kicked me hard in the side. Pain shot up my entire body most likely a broken rib. He then stabbed his sword into my chest. I screamed. My armor was stained with my blood. The world was growing dark, and visions of my previous battles flashed in my eyes. Once again, I saw Drakkonan leaping at me. The Fire in his Eyes. Garlick's death at the hands of Cartwright. Falerin the deity, being destroyed by Seth Cay Dhows. I saw my own demise at the hands of The'Galin. Demento, Galanoth's brother, being murdered. "But you know what Chosen one?" he continued looking down at me, his eyes filled with absolute hate. "I don't completely blame my family, or even Smith! I blame you Clown the Jester! You...THE HERO! You are suppose to fight monsters like Cartwright and save people like me! ITS YOUR JOB! DID YOU KILL CARTWRIGHT OR TRY TO RESCUE ME? NOOOOO! THIS...IS...ALL...YOUR...FAULT!" I sat up slowly pulling myself to my feet. My head still ringining in pain. "Your right Atlas," I said, my voice cracking. "This is my fault...and I need to set it right." Maxwell roared angrily at me swinging his sword. But this time I was ready. I slashed my own weapon out hitting Maxwell's blade to his side and rammed my shoulder into Maxwell's face. He stumbled back dazed, and surprised by my sudden recovery. I slashed my sword again cutting into his wrist causing him to drop his weapon. Before it even hit the ground I kicked it far away from the both of us. Maxwell stepped back, fear in his eyes. I placed my sword back in it's sheath and said to madman. "You want me? Come and Get me!" Maxwell lunged at me. But a kick across his face knocked him to the ground. He wrapped his powerful arms around my legs pulling me to the ground. Jumping on top of me, he smashed his fist into my face. I grabbed his shirt collar pulling his head towards me as well as pull mine to his. CRACK! I slammed my forehead hard into his face. My head screamed with the abuse. Maxwell's nose was bleeding, he fell off me and crouched on his knees. I pulled myself back to my feet. Maxwell stared up at me. His normal eye and red mechanical glistened in the moon light. "All...yy...your...fa...fa...fault," he grunted with great effort, his normal eye twitching. Suddenly a blast of red energy shot out of Maxwell's eye. I dodged the lazer beam leaping as far way from it as possible. Maxwell fired out another lazer. I leaped over the beam, and even him landing behind him and smashing my fist hard into the back of his skull. Maxwell cried out in pain and sagged to the ground. He let out small gasps of pain. This battle was over. Hollow shook his head in disbelief. "Max," he said. "What's gotten into you? You never would've..." Saemic interrupted Hollow saying, "He is here." The shadows around us swarmed together rising up to form Seth Cay Dhows. I gritted my teeth using every bit of will power I had to stop myself from attacking the Mysterious Stranger. He would without a doubt have a trick ready for such a careless move. "Yes. I am here. Now then..." he whispered. "Would not what? What wouldn't Atlas Maxwell do, twittery canaries?" Cartwright stared at the Shadow regretfully, "So it is true Dhows is Epsilon." Maxwell, recovering from our battle, smirked. "Oh yes, it is true Cartwright...and soon it will be Lore, and not just you and your stepfather, that is...Twain." Maxwell burst out laughing. A muscle in Cartwright's face twitched. Ryuusei from the Parrallel Lore coldly asked, "Was that suppose to be a clever pun?" "Clearly!" Cartwright exclaimed, his eye like daggers, spit flying from his mouth. "Dhows has had a bad influence on him." Dhows!" I cried out angrily. "What have you done to Maxwell?!" "Done?" Dhows whispered innocently. "Why..Just shown my new friend the right light in which to view you and...your new allies. Working with the Omega, Clown? For shame...for shame." "Where is the uncreation energy coming from?" I asked not meeting Maxwell's eyes. "Soon it won't matter," Dhows hissed. "Soon I will collapse the boundaries of the elements and recreate this world in my own image." "I do not think I will be allowing that," Cartwright said venomously. "The Lord I serve has ordered this world spared." Maxwell let out a cruel laughed asking, "And do you think you can stop us? Even aided as you are the Avatar WILL die at my hand. By combining all the pieces of the annunaki as one I will become Un-Forsaken." "And then," Dhows added. "I will give Lore a gentle nudge...without her precious Avatar, the elements will collapse even more than these creatures." He nodded at the Reverse monsters I had defeated earlier down the mountain. "I dont think so, Dhows. Or Epsilon. Or Whatever name you use," I said. "We'll stop you." Dhows let out a dry laugh and hissed, "This interview has ended, duckie. I am sick of your quacking. Maxwell, come along." Maxwell nodded turning to Anna and saying quietly, "Anna, I will be coming back to see you. Count on me, daughter." "Time is of the essence," Dhows hissed impatiently. Anna, tears in her eyes called out, "Father please!" Dhows laughed coldly again whispering, "Oh it is far to late to plead, child." "Annunaki never cooperate with oppressors!" Saemic said glaring at both Atlas and Dhows. Dhows chuckled again, "We both know that to be false little Cor-Dem." The Hollow turned his attention back to Atlas stating, almost apologetically, "Didn't even know for sure where you had teleported to with Smith." "Are you going to accept excuses, Maxwell?" Dhows asked. "I saved you where others failed...Ignore this meaningless banter." Maxwell nodded his head, "They should have found a way. No effort should have been spared...I...I was worth that much." "Now," Dhows hissed almost angrily at Maxwell, "Let us leave." I tried one more time to reach out to Atlas, "You are being abused and deceived, Maxwell! Why can't you see?" Dhows turned his attention to me and hissed violently, "IT IS YOU WHO CANNOT SEE, CHOSEN! EVENTS TO SMALL FOR YOU TO NOTICE ARE HAPPENING ALL OVER LORE THAT WILL CHANGE EVERY THING YOU KNOW AND BELIEVE! WORLDS SHALL COLLIDE! CLOSED DOORS SHALL BE OPENED! THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS MY PAWN! AND SOON THE ENTIRE MULTI-UNIVERSE WILL BE MINE AS WELL! FAREWELL CLOWN THE JESTER! BATTLEON WILL FACE THE SAME FATE AS SOLUNA CITY AND FALCONREACH! AND THIS TIME..." he paused. "This time, there will be no Blue Mage to save your little world." Dhows and Maxwell disappeared..in the Shadows. We stood there in silence. I finally asked glumly, "What now?" "Now we warn the Avatar," Cartwright said. "As well as prepare for Dhows' next move." ****************************************************************** Bree-Ha surveyed the fragments of the Universo. "Ruined," he snarled into a radio. "Completely ruined! Without that prototype there is no way to build an army of the Mechs! Bring me back to Lore." The voice on the receiving end said nervously, "Uh...sir? We have a Stream failure Minister. The power source blocks teleportation. We need to find a means of containing the energy first..." Bree-Ha's reptilian nostrils flared he brought he radio to his mouth and yelled, "YOU STUPID DRAKEL! FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW! BEFORE I USE YOU AS MY GUINEA PIG FOR A VERY DANGEROUS AND LETHAL EXPERIMENT I HAVE BEEN JUST DIEING TO PERFORM!" "Yes sir," the drakel said unable to mask the fear in his voice. "Right away...sir." Bree-Ha shook his head unable to believe the incompetence he was witnessing. A voice whispered quietly, "Minister Bree'Ha...how lovely to see you again." The Drakel let out a jolt in surprise twirling around to see what appeared to be a figure who's appearance was covered by a Grey hood and cloaked robe. The Minister quickly composed himself and asked, "Have we met?" The figure shook his head and hissed, "Well, why, no my dracomammalian friend. But I know all about you." The End....For now....
