Awesome Land II: The War of Four Kings

[Myrdraxxis]

Zais led his forces to the Random Town. "Lay this town to ruin! Spill their blood!" he yelled as he looked out over the generic town. His forces yelled battlecrys and charged down into the town, killing all who stood in their way.

Zais strode calmly down one of the streets as all around him people were hacked apart by axes and shot down by guns. Blood pooled around his feet as he stopped and closed his eyes in ecstacy.

"Blood For the Blood God!" the cry went up throught the doomed town. Zais chuckled darkly and pulled out a dark looking book.

"Sorcerer." he barked. A shadowy figure stepped forward.

"Yes sir?"

"Begin the preparations. The ritual will comence soon." Zais said and began to flip through the book. The sorcerer nodded and ran off. Zais stopped at a page and slowly began to chant.

[Mass]

Mass looked towards Vincent.
"Do you happen to know where I may find a Trombone? It is my weapon of choice. I originate from Ausum land." Mass stopped. He remembered something from his past! Something other than vengeance. Mass laughed overjoyed that he began to remember himself. His name...what was his name...Kayne! That was it.
"Yes sir. In fact I make Trombones. I'm one of the last of the Trombone players but I'm trying to rebuild our culture. Follow me please." Vincent lead Mass to his little workshop where there hung finished and unfinished Trombones hung on hooks. "Do you play Tenor or Bass or Contra-Bass?"
"My favorite is Contra-Bass. Do you have a finished one?" Mass/Kayne looked at all the Trombones in turn. Then he noticed the Trombones had razor sharp tubing.
"Yes its right here. Its name is Bach. As you can see all the outer tubing is sharpened into a blade for melee, while the music it makes causes other kinds of attacks, magics, and other such things." Mass gripped Bach. It felt good in his hand.

[Duke Nukem]

Narrator sensed another person using guns in Awesome Land. He didn't really care, he just noticed that nobody else did. He also noticed usage of the number e. Irrational numbers are great.

"So what are we trying to do again, Very Ice?"

[Mizagium]

Somewhere off the coast of Awesome Land, in the Sea of That's What You Think, the Valiant struggled against the ferocity of Hurricane Ike. Johnny had taken the helm and was trying to skirt the edge of the storm.

"It's too late, Johnny! WE have to turn!" General Corinth called up from the deck. The ship lurched to the starboard as a wave crashed over the side.

"We're already halfway there!" Johnny called over the wind. "We can still make it!" The Valiant sailed over the crest of another wave and. The front of the boat climbed skyward before slamming back to the sea. Sarah emerged from below deck.

"Ike fights for his friends, Johnny! We can't beat that!" Sarah was thrust against the wall as another wave hit. "Turn back!" She pleaded.

"All right! All right!" Johnny spun the wheel fast to turn the Valiant 180^o. But the ship stayed its course.

"What are you doing?" Sarah called as she climbed the stair to the wheel.

"The ship's moving on it's own! I don't have any--!" Suddenly a huge black shape rose from the depths of the sea. The form would have blotted out the sun, if it could bee seen. The form was pitch-black with bright, golden eyes. The beast cried out a noise that would shatter diamond. Long, thick tentacles emerged out of its back.

Everyone could only stand in awe of this beast as it slammed a mighty fist into the deck of the ship, splitting it in half. Johnny reacted on instinct. As the beast destroyed the ship he snatched up the True Sword and raced down the stairs and out to the front of the Valiant . As the ship split, he ran up the front as it turned vertical and sank. He leaped off the top and plunged the Sword into the beast.

Sarah was caught in the chaos of the destruction and fell into the raging seas. When she surfaced, she quickly swam to a piece of the hull floating in the storm. "Johnny!" she called over the storm. She caught a glimpse of his fighting the beast before a wave submerged her again. When she cam up again, both Johnny and the beast were gone.

"Johnny!" Sarah called over and over, but to no avail. She finally gave in to the will of the sea and let herself be carried away by the current.

All the while the three remaining Artifacts settled gently on the sea floor...

[Myrdraxxis]

Zais continued to chant faster as the blood that was running rivers throught the town began to move with a life of its own forming creepy, unholy patterns.

The random sorcerer walked up beside Zais and waited. A few minutes later Zais stopped chanting and a beam of dak light struck the sorcerer in the chest. He gasped and spasmed for a moment before finally falling to the ground.

His body errupted in beams of light that began to lift him into the air. Zais watched on silently. Many of the Chaos troops had now gathered to watched the strange specticle.

Finally the sorcerer's body slammed into the ground, causing a giant bloom of blood to errupt. A second later a loud scream ripped the air as a clawed hand ripped through the bloodied ground.

"Now, I give you our patron champion." Zais said soflty as a giant figure arose. "The bloodthirster daemon.....Mista Jangles!"

[Mizagium]

Sarah awoke sill clinging to the piece of driftwood. She was on the shores of the Sea of That's What You Think, exactly were she had departed on the Valiant a few pages ago.

No else was around. She had to find help. The storm had thrown her against a reef just offshore4 and it had cut her left side badly.

A single name entered her mind ~Cha Cha~

[Myrdraxxis]

Mista Jangles used his powerful daemon wings to take flight and sped off into the air, wanting to bring Chaos to other parts of the land as Zais led his forces through the countryside. As Mista Jangles flew he saw a speck in the distance.

Something else was flying. The daemon squinted.

It looked like an.......airship?

Mista Jangles howled and grabbed his axes and charged. (lol look out Austin)

[Xero]

~Cha Cha~

Cha Cha froze. He knew that voice. He knew the touch of that mind in his own. ~Sarah!~

He whirled around, running in the opposite direction. "Xero!" he called to his brother as he ran past, the Regiment looking at him strangely. "Take everyone to Dark Hole Headquarters! FOLLOW THOSE DRAGONS!! I'll be back soon!"

(lolz Sorry, Lucco. Again, not my fault.)

[Calfrun]

"You need help?" Zento asked Cha Cha. It seemed like this "Dark Hole Headquarters" was really far away, and he was getting bored with running.

[DERRICK]

Larus' ship finally emerged from the Warp storm. He had been stuck within the hellish realm for over 5 months. The crew had been possessed, and all of his men died while fighting them off. And now here he was. floating helplessly through another universe.

Suddenly, Larus was jarred awake by the shuddering of his ship. He looked out towards the radar and discovered that he was being pulled in by an incredibly large galaxy.

(i'll post the rest later. time for sleep)

[Mass]

Kayne, which was Mass, played a 5 octave G-flat scale. Which opened a portal where he could go anywhere in the world. Vincent watched in awe as Kayne finished the scale.
"It feels good to play an instrument again. Now just step into the portal and we shall leave." Kayne sighed. Off in the distance a Chaos soldiers brain just asploded.
"Whoa that's FLIPPIN' SWEET!" Vincent took a step through the portal and found himself on Leon's airship. Kayne followed quickly thereafter.

[Duke Nukem]

Captain Clever still hunted butterflies somewhere in Awesome Land. His exact location shall remain undisclosed.

[Xero]

"Sure!" Cha Cha said as Zento caught up to him. "Just try not to fall behind." Pretty soon, they arrived on the beach.

There was Sarah, lying in the sand, clutching a piece of driftwood. She was unconscious.

Then Cha Cha noticed the blood puddle around her body. He hurriedly scanned her for the source of the blood and quickly found it. Her side had a huge gash in it. Probably caused by the reefs. Awesome Land was notorious for its deadly reefs. He took off his Trumpet Hero's cloak and wrapped Sarah in it, tying it tightly around her cut. He picked her up carefully and carried her into the woods toward Lake Awesome.

The Perverted Fat Guy was there. Waiting.

[DERRICK]

Larus initiated a scan onto the galaxy. The scans showed no planets at all. Larus initiated another scan, it also came out negative. He was truly perplexed. The odds of finding a galaxy with no planets is like finding a planet populated with Jotans (Jotans are an extinct alien species. they were wiped out during the great crusade).

Suddenly, Larus picked up a voice. He couldn't trace it however, he knew that this must be some alien witchcraft.
"Show yourself!" he barked.
"I AM ALREADY SHOWING MYSELF TO YOU." responded the voice.
"Where?" Larus asked.
"LOOK OUT THE WINDOW."
Larus had never heard of sentient galaxy.
"What do you want with me?" he asked.
"YOU WILL FIND THAT OUT SOON ENOUGH." responded the voice.
Suddenly, a void portal opened up in front of the ship.
Before Larus allowed his ship to enter the portal, he asked one final question.
"Who are you?"
To which the voice responded.
"I AM EXISTENCE ITSELF. I AM THE SILENT GUARDIAN. I AM DEUS."
And with that the ship immersed itself within the portal. As the ship reached the other side, he uttered a prayer to the Emperor. As he finished he came upon a personal revelation. Was that being, DEUS, the Emperor himself?


(NOTE: in the Warhammer 40k universe, the majority of humanity is governed by the Imperium of Man. Although the Imperium is now an oligarchical dictatorship, it was founded by The Immortal God-Emperor. However, after the Horus heresy, the Emperor was horribly wounded in his duel with Horus. He was attached to the golden throne and has sat there for about 10,000 years. He is worshiped by untold trillions of humans, and in some rare cases, aliens. So please do not get the Emperor confused with the former emperor of awesome land.)

[Calfrun]

Zento followed Cha Cha unhappily. If Sarah was back, that means that Cha Cha might go back to being useless in combat. If Zento ever caught himself daydreaming about some woman during a fight, he would give himself OVER NINE MILLION Spirit Reminders. As far as he was concerned, there were only two points to life. Survival, and honor.

[Mizagium]

Veralice's airship passed over the mountainous region of Fun Land on its way to Super Land (I think that's where he's going). The journey was going smoothly until Ridley spotted the airship. Recognizing his former master he became extremely angry.

Ridley fired a lazah at the airship causing it to crash deep in the Uncharted Mountains (that's their name).

[Myrdraxxis]

Enraged that his prey had been taken from him, Mista Jangles turned to a new source of blood to spill. Ridley.

"Blood for the Blood God!" the daemon roared out and zoomed toward his new target.

[Sartorius]

(LOL Power outage so I couldn't get on yesterday. I missed so much...)

With all sorts of nonsense happening in Awesome Land and Leon's airship now in the Uncharted Islands, things weren't going smoothly for the crew.

"Well, this is just great...Whatever shall we do? Wait for a pointless sidequest interruption?"
__________________________________________________________

"Lord Raphael! The airship has been struck down by some strange dragon." said a mysterious servant.

"I'm well aware. Are there survivors?" asked Raphael, sitting awesomely on his throne.

"It does not appear that anyone has died."

"That won't do. I'll take care of this." said Raphael. "Viento." he whispered to no one in particular. The Wind Orb on his desk began to glow as a heavy breeze lifted the airship into the air back toward Super Land.

[Sartorius]

"Now that they are within my grasp...Al Viento Destruccion." Raphael whispered. The WO (Wind Orb) hurled the airship back into the Uncharted Mountains repeatedly, destroying the airship and leaving no trace aside from a few pieces. Narrator and Leon remained unharmed, of course. I can't speak for the rest, though.

[Duke Nukem]

"So what now?" Narrator queried. "Should we go and check out why Bird Dude is sploding our ships and whatnot?"

[Myrdraxxis]

Zais walked over the hill, alone this time. The Chaos armies had camped in a valley to the east and. Zais stopped at the top of the hill and looked around him. A few towns had once dotted the landscape. Now they were homes to hundreds of Chaos cultists, citizens who had either been corrupted or turned to the will of the Blood God.

Zais looked down at the surrounding counrtyside. The land was now scarred with deep rifts, most of which were filled with blood. Unholy symbols and shrines had been raised.

And there was something else. Zais squinted beneath his hood. That wasn't of Chaos. Zais walked briskly down the hill toward his discovery. Upon reaching it he discovered it to be a black rock with a strange green sybol on it. Zais's eyes widened slightly.

He knew that symbol.

"How....well this is interesting. To think that Awsome Land is really a tomb world. Most interesting indeed." he said. He spun around and headed back to the camp. Best to keep this a secret for now. There was no telling what the reaction could be.

And with all the cataclysmic actions taking place nowadays...the was no telling how much it would take to wake THEM up.

[Mizagium]

Something rustled in the brush around the crash sight. Whispers could be heard.

Suddenly, several playing cards burst from the bruchs and imbedded it in the hull of the airship.

It was a King and an Ace of Hearts...

They added up the 21.

[Sartorius]

"Not yet. I have the strangest feeling that something is in these mountains. They're not on my map, so I hereby name them the Uncharted Mountains." Leon laughed, unaware that the mountains were already named as such.

"Let's explore while we await the airship, Crimson Shadow, to repair itself. It does that." Leon said, thinking of that name on the spot. Sure enough, The Crimson Shadow began to magnetically draw its pieces to each other.

As the ship reformed itself, Leon spotted the cards fly to the hull. He took them out and stared at them. "21?" he asked as he added the cards together. "Who goes there?" he demanded.

[Mizagium]

"Halt! Intruders!" Came a voice from the brush. Three figures in robe leaped out to confront Veralice and the others. One had a robe decorated like a King of Hearts, one like a Queen of Hearts, and the other like a Jack of Hearts. (Think Organization XIII robes)

"You have trespassed on our turf!" A female voice yelled.

"Prepare to be OWNED!" The One dreesed like a Jack said!

"STFU! Shouted the King.

[Myrdraxxis]

Mista Jangles roared and grabbed Ridley by the neck. Ridley struggled for a while before finally trying to shoot the daemon at point blank.

It didn't work. Mista Jangles snorted and brushed off the shot. He hefted an axe in one hand and threw it at Ridley, hitting him deep in the chest. Ridley screamed in pain. Mista Jangles then took his other axe, flew up close and decapitated his enemy. He snorted in satisfaction as he watched the body fall to earth and then flew down towards the Uncharted Mountains where the airship had crashed. There were survivors. More blood to spill.
