Awesome Land!: An Interactive Story

[Mizagium]

"The Artifacts?" The Time Keeper repeated. "Well, I know that there are four of them. The uhh, sword. The uhh stick. THe uhhh...Mirror, and some shield." THe Time Keeper scratched his face with the big hand. "They are the most prized treasures in Really Cool."

[Sartorius]

"Yes, I imagine they would be prized arti-" Veralice stopped, realizing what the Time Keeper had just said. "Wait, did you just say something about a stick and shield? The same ones I saw Johnny with?" Veralice asked the Time Keeper, finishing up the modifications to Derp-Bot.

[Mizagium]

"Yeah. Wait, weren't you paying attention earlier, when I said Johnny beat me with the Ugly Stick and that's how I came to look like this?"

[Sartorius]

"Barely. I have a habit of thinking of other things when people talk to me about their personal problems. Sorry." Veralice apologized to the Time Keeper. "But a shield too!? Ah, perhaps all is not lost. Do you know what any of the objects, aside from the stick, are supposed to do?" Veralice asked the Time Keeper.

[Xero]

(lol Thanks, Austin.)

[Mizagium]

"Well the Mirror is a mirror so it reflects things. I remember a little from teaching those children. Teh Mirror shows...inner...beauty or some shit like that. The Shield I'm not sure about. But the Sword cant cut any enchantment and reveal the true nature of things."

[Sartorius]

"Really? That is a powerful sword, then. No wonder Johnny values it more than his sister...Hmm, hold on a second." Veralice said, mysteriously disappearing. Within a fraction of a second he reappeared with the Beauty Mirror. Placing it in front of the Time Keeper, Veralice said "What do you see in the mirror." While waiting for the response, Veralice finally completed the work on Derp-Bot and began making a remote control device.

[Mizagium]

"I -- I see...me. I see myself in a normal form, but...but I am rich and powerful. I am the king of Really Cool." The Time Keeper was mystified. "But, but this isn't what the Mirror is supposed to show." He turned from the Mirror. "It is showing me what I want to see, not I what I am."

[Sartorius]

"This is what could happen, however. Your story of the injustice of Really Cool have touched me. I would be glad to help you obtain revenge against them." Veralice said, finishing the remote control. "Partners?" Veralice asked, extending his hand to shake the Time Keeper's, forgetting that he was a clock.

[Mizagium]

Time Keeper thought about it, while he had no hatred of the Monarchs, he REALLY hated being a clock. He did his best to shake Veralices hand. "...Partners."

[Xero]

(Gah! I can't do anything until Robert comes back! ... or can I?)

The Mysterious Hooded Man overheard Veralice and the Time Keeper's conversation while he was waiting for Salvatore's reply. He turned just in time to see Veralice reaching out to shake the Time Keeper's hand. He dashed at light speed, tackling Veralice into the wall before he could shake the Time Keeper's hand. He moved so quickly, the three in Veralice's office only saw a black blur before the Mysterious Hooded Man reappeared in his previous position. In fact, he had moved so quickly, nobody even noticed that he had moved. The Mysterious Hooded Man's cloak waved behind him as if a breeze had just blown by. Nobody but the ever-observant Veralice noticed.

[Mizagium]

(So is the Musterious man, against Omnistar?)

[Xero]

(He's against Veralice, so yes, he's against Omnistar, but he's not for Taco Bell either. Even though I am lol)

[Mizagium]

(okay, please see my list of Awesome Land factions in the discussion room)

[Sartorius]

Veralice got up and shook the Time Keeper's hand. "Grr...I hate being attacked without warning. Ah, but that is why I made this!" Veralice said to no one in particular. He pressed a button on his remote control and said "Necrotron, activate!" Instantaneously Derp-Bot started violently shaking. He began to grow to over 100 feet and every feature about him changed. His mustache grew to the floor and could move on command, his arms changed into giant cannons which shot laser beams and bullets in a machine gun like fashion. His roller blades changed into a set of wheels covered by a belt (similar to a tank) and his turban remained a turban. But a really cool turban.

"I call my latest invention the Deadly Evil Robotic People Beater of Omnipotent Terror, or DERPBOT for short." Veralice said, unaware that the name hadn't changed at all. The roof of Omnistar broke as DERPBOT finished transforming. "Now, DERPBOT, attack!" Veralice yelled, and DERPBOT obliterated all of Omnistar (but not the people in it) in a rampage.

[Mizagium]

"Wow, you sure have a habit of destroying your own buildings, don't you?" The Time Keeper noticed. "IT IS NOW 5:17 PM!"

[Sartorius]

"Yea, but I can rebuild them fairly easily. I mainly do it to see my latest creation's level of power...DERPBOT's is no doubt higher than Neo RIDLEY's, and with Dante and Cha Cha both gone, this battle favors me." Veralice said, covering himself from the pieces of dry wall that fell from the destroyed ceiling.

[Xero]

(Robert, hurry up and make some kind of reply! I want the Mysterious Hooded Man and Salvatore to team up! This is the perfect time for my next plot twist, but I can't do it until Salvatore introduces himself and agrees to team with MHM.)

[Xero]

(..... Austin, Cha Cha was on your side. lol Why does the battle favor you because Cha Cha is gone?)

[Sartorius]

((Cha Cha is partially responsible for the destruction of Ridley. That's why.))

[Xero]

(But Dante killed NeoRIDLEY. Cha Cha barely did anything to NeoRIDLEY. He only weakened normal RIDLEY, then Johnny Uglified RIDLEY into NeoRIDLEY, causing him to be fully recovered from Cha Cha's attacks.... eh, whatever.)

[Mizagium]

(It's amazing that we can actually remember this...)

[Sartorius]

(Veralice's statement was directed to anyone who was in the battle against RIDLEY; whether they changed allegiances after the battle is a completely different story.)

"DERPBOT, I would like you to destroy Taco Bell." Veralice commanded nicely. "Derp derp derp?" DERPBOT asked. In order to achieve ultimate power he had to go back to saying only one word. "Yes, that includes the people in there too, whether they be men, women, or gender neutral children." Veralice said, able to translate DERPBOT's speech with his remote control. DERPBOT, although against the idea, let his destructive side take over and rolled toward Taco Bell. Veralice jumped on DERPBOT's back and said "I'll be back, Time Keeper. Think of ways we can return you to your former body." sealing the Beauty Mirror back in its dimension.

[Mizagium]

A low rumble could be heard in the Taco Bell. It gradually grew until Johnny and others were sure it was an earthquake.

~But there are no earthquakes in Awesome Land.~ Johnny remembered.

Suddenly the building began to shake violently, but did not fall apart thanks to Narrators complete disregard to physics. Johnny jumped up and ran outside to see the source of this geographical anomaly.

DERPBOT had arrived.

[Xero]

(You know what? Since Robert probably won't be getting on for a while, and the story must continue, Salvatore now becomes Link: he says nothing but everyone just sorta knows what he's thinking. I'll try to control Salvatore's "words" as little as possible.)

~ This is while Veralice is on the ground and is getting up ~

"I see," said the Mysterious Hooded Man, loosening his grip on the object by his side. "So your name is Salvatore, and you're Dante's brother. And you're here to meet up with people your brother has come in contact with. Well, you're in luck. That man over there is Leon Veralice, Emperor of Awesome Land. He's a cruel tyrant and I'm on a mission to end his tyranny. Would you like to join me?" He held out his hand.
"...." said Salvatore.
"Perfect! said Ch -- I mean, the Mysterious Hooded Man, shaking Salvatore's hand. The Mysterious Hooded Man turned around just as Veralice pushed the button on Derp-bot's remote control. DERPBOT fired his lazars and destroyed Omnistar. The Mysterious Hooded Man's eyes flashed red as he looked up at DERPBOT and said, "Shoot!"
The Mysterious Hooded Man ran into the woods and climbed the tallest tree he could find. His eyes flashed even brighter red as he surveyed his surroundings. Veralice was now riding away on DERPBOT's back, and there was nothing around that could help stop him. It seemed that the Mysterious Hooded Man had no choice but to reveal his identity in order to stop Veralice.
At that very moment, the Perverted Fat Guy came running by, screaming hysterically. Everyone just stared at him.
The little girl finally got up and headed outside, where he was trampled by the Perverted Fat Guy, who, once again, caught on fire. This only made the Perverted Fat Guy scream even louder and run even more frantically.
When the Perverted Fat Guy had disappeared, everyone looked in the direction he had come from. The little boy was the first two see the very convenient plot device headed their way. She ran off following the Perverted Fat Guy, fleeing from the swarm of Japanese hornets coming out of the forest. The Mysterious Hooded Man climbed higher on his tree to avoid the hornets as they flew past him. It was the perfect plot device! Everyone was distracted by the hornets! The Mysterious Hooded Man signaled to Salvatore by waving his cloak three times.
The Mysterious Hooded Man jumped from the tree and landed on top of DERPBOT's turban. He remained there unnoticed until DERPBOT reached Taco Bell.
