Inside the Cruptue Realm there was a massive celebration taking place at and around the Hield, as wizard, ghost, and beast alike had gathered to watch as it gave way. The mass of being went on for 150 miles and there were huge barrels of blood flavored whiskey being drunk by all.
The Darpock that had its head thru the hole in the Hield was violently swaying its body from side to side and pummeling the Hield as it tried to get it to give way. This was happening simultaneously as thousands of Sorplecs continued to bombard the Hield with spells as they laughed uproariously. There were so many different kinds of beasts on top of the Hield its bronze color couldn’t be seen. The Sorplecs began to sing the song,” We only waited forever,” as loud as they possibly could.
Pumrask, Kite, and Alovio were on top of a massive brown wooden floating living room 100 feet above the Malay in front of the Hield having a bit of dinner and drinking wine. There were 3 black leather chairs setup facing the Hield with white and red stripped foot rests in front of them. There was also a small book case filled with dozens of spell books and also bottles of red and white wine. There was a silver oven next to Pumrask’s chair that had 3 meat pies and 3 strawberry pies with a buttered glaze on them, as well as a pot of whipped potatoes mixed with steak, yellow cheese, and green cheese as well as a rare cinnamon called Utole. There were 3 statues of Sarvoi on the right side of the room that depicted him when he was 7, 27, and 137 years old.
Sarvoi was a mentor of Pumrask and was the most powerful writer of spells as he had written the,” Can’t Survive 7,” which were 7 spells created in the Cruptue Realm that not only cancelled out your attacker’s spells, but unleashed massive savage beats. He spent 50 years constantly trying to find a spell that would destroy the Hield and free them all and in the process found the,” Can’t Survive 7.” He was also known to be very distant when spoken to as he lived deep inside his own mind. He spent years without laughing at or telling a joke and even his body language said go away. His eyes were so fierce it was like a flash of bright light in your eyes if you looked at him.
“ Why’s everybody carrying on and having such a good time? I can’t understand it,” asked Alovio coyly as she grimaced and threw up her hands and Pumrask laughed.
“ Because, they are moronic insolent fools who don’t have the wherewithal to know that there is no time like now NOT, to celebrate!” thundered Kite then he threw a bottle of wine at the crowd below and hit a Sorplec in the head and knocked him out while Pumrask and Alovio looked at him perplexed.
“ Ah, some people shouldn’t drink,” said Pumrask flatly as he smirked at Kite.
“ Oh don’t cheapen my sentiment. Those fools down there need to prepare for the fight of our lives! Instead they’re drunk and carefree while our rivals are armed to the teeth,” said Kite sharply as he glared at Pumrask.
“ This is true, but we’ve been in here forever and you can’t blame people for feeling like celebrating. Cruptue, I’m having a bottle myself and I plan to have another before it breaks. Needless to say I don’t think it will matter we’ll overrun them completely,” said Pumrask honestly then he took a drink from his bottle of white wine.
“ He’s right we vastly outnumber them. They stand little chance of lasting more than a week at best,” said Alovio as she sat back and smiled.
“ Only a fool thinks wars are unwinnable. Remember they won’t be eager to give over their existence, which means they’re going to fight like mad. I’m not here to bring you down or be a killjoy, but it needed to be said. Now, if everyone wants to party fine, hand me a bottle and we’ll sing a victory song,” said Kite warmly then Pumrask grabbed a bottle wine from the bookcase and then handed it to him and he said happily,” thank you, Pumrask, I’m dying of a lack of intoxication. I wonder how this will taste as free men?” asked Kite then he took a drink and threw the bottle over Pumrask’s head and shouted,” not as good as the taste of defeat!”
“ Then don’t feel defeated you old coot. I’m not dying in this war whether you do or not will be your own childish fault. I’d be careful about throwing bottles in my direction, I might lose my cool then you’ll end up dead long before you ever get a chance to taste that beautiful free air, so watch it!” said Pumrask coldly as he glared at Kite.
Kite looked at him for a moment then looked away nervously as he realized there was no way he could take Pumrask. He also felt worry grip him as he thought about not being able to escape because of his stupidity then he said apologetically,” I am sorry my frustration took hold of me. I assure you it will never happen again.”
“ Who’s the ruler of it all?” asked Pumrask coldly as he grabbed his staff and sat forward and flexed his arms.
“ You, you are the ruler of it all. I was in error I am old and I don’t always think clearly. I am truly sorry, Pumrask,” said Kite nervously.
Pumrask debated destroying Kite for the slight, but then decided he liked him too much to do that so he set down his staff and smirked and said begrudgingly,” Then we’ll leave it at that. I can’t go around killing all my friends, because the reality is I don’t have many.”
“ Neither do I, you’re all I’ve got,” said Kite warmly as he smirked and then nodded softly.
“ Well I’ve got tons. Hey look that Darpock is getting more of his body thru the Hield. Boy it won’t be long now hmm,” said Alovio slyly as she smiled and then took a bite from a perfect ball of whipped mashed potatoes on a small red glass plate.
“ If it gets thru, we all get thru. Let’s hope he bursts it and the whole thing collapses,” said Pumrask happily as he sat forward and gritted his teeth and watched as the Darpock swayed from side to side violently as various other beasts and rays of dense magic bombarded the Hield.
The Sorplecs all continued to cheer and carry on until they saw what was happening. Then they fell deadly still and silent as they looked up at the Hield. The crack began to get wider and a rush of green smoke began fluxing in and out of it rapidly.
“ Break, please break already! I can’t take it!” shouted Alovio as she stood up and walked to the front of the platform.
Pumrask and Kite stood up as well and walked up to her and Kite said quietly,” When it’s hard on the one, it’s always felt by the many.”
“ That was beautiful, Kite, who wrote that?” asked Alovio warmly then she looked over at him.
“ I did, just now,” said Kite flatly then he turned and gave Alovio a stern look and then looked away quickly when she nodded.
“ A turd sandwich thou chewy, is somebody’s meal if the stores closed. I wrote that just now I mean it,” said Pumrask jokingly in a stern tone then he looked at Alovio and Kite who smiled and laughed.
The Hield meanwhile began to shoot out circles of electricity in every direction that hit one Sorplec and fried him to death, but then it stopped suddenly and a thick blue light enveloped the Sorplecs and they
heard a booming voice say,” You’ve stolen your freedom now be what we knew you were all along, dead!”
“ What was that?” asked Alovio anxiously as she unknowingly let go of her wine bottle and it fell down to a Sorplecs head below and burst covering him with wine and knocking him unconscious.
“ It was the Hield letting go and using its last gasp to ruin our moment in the sun. But we aren’t gonna let it, get ready for shouting!” said Kite boldly then he ran back to his staff.
Then there was a metallic almost electronic booming sound accompanied by a series of massive explosions that filled the sky above it with yellow and black flames and huge square cauldron of smoke.
“ It’s breaking, prepare yourselves!” shouted Pumrask as his eyes grew wide and gripped his staff tightly.
Then large chunks of the Hield began to break off revealing the face of God smiling back at them on top of a golden ball. Then every last bit o
f the bronze part of the Hield shot out in every direction leaving only the gold ball with the Darpock hallway thru it.
“ What is that ball, and why is god’s face on it?” asked Alovio as she began to stare at the ball uncontrollably.
“ Because he’s scared of us! He knows we’re going to rule over all creation and it terrifies him! Let it blow wide open and destroy his ugly smiling face! This is our life now!” thundered Kite as he smiled wildly and shook Alovio’s shoulder.
Then the golden ball began to increase in size as jets of fire shot out of holes in its surface. Then a tornado of fire and thick red clouds enveloped the Hield and a second later it exploded blowing the Darpock to pieces and sending tiny flecks of gold in every direction. It also began to suck up all the
sunlight from the Cruptue Realm and it shone out into space, where it could be seen on every planet including Permea. Then every Sorplec raised their staffs and began shouting spells for transportation such as dragons and Konno’s. Within a matter of seconds thousands of dragons and ships appeared as Kite, Pumrask, and Alovio watched the action and Pumrask said happily,” This is way beyond the greatest day of my life, because I never knew what I was missing when I was cast here. Now I know all too well and the time for vengeance is upon us.”
“ You couldn’t be more right. Who wants to summon us a ship?” asked Alovio quickly as she grinned wildly.
“ Who doesn’t, but I will gladly take care of it, madam,” said Kite warmly then he raised his staff and shouted,” The dorem can be everly!”
Then in front of them appeared a massive ship known as a Buco. It was the length of 5 football fields and 50 stories high and had the shape of a block of marble with a man’s head sticking out of all 5 sides. It was red and black in color with massive red laser canons sticking out of each of the heads eyes. It also had dark green insanity missiles that would fire at an enemy then burst into a dozen smaller missiles and chase down individual people. Once they hit them they threw them into a deep uncontrollable insanity. The Buco also had staff turrets where you could extend the tip of your staff out the hole and cast a spell that would be amplified by the dense magic in walls and create an even larger spell.
“ Well, is it big enough for all 3 of us?” asked Pumrask sarcastically as he tried not to grin.
“ If not Kite and I will meet you there,” said Alovio jokingly as she laughed and then a platform extended out towards the 3 of them from the Buco.
“ I’m with her, find your own ride,” said Kite slyly then he walked onto the platform with Alovio right beside him.
“ Oh really, leaving old Pumrask behind is it. Wait up I’m too lazy to wait for another ship,” said Pumrask then he hurried after them onto the platform.
Meanwhile at the Cep all the different ships were already hidden in the deep foliage while Famaron, Ratie, Ohgood, Solcrist, Mench, and Harci were inside Doerain’s ship on the very front edge of Hamcer awaiting the Sorplecs. Doerain had all the ships painted dark green to help in hiding them. His own ship was a Mehelux hybrid that had twice the propulsion and a massive escape pod in the center that could shoot straight up thru the top of the ship at unbelievable speed if the rest of the ship was destroyed and wouldn’t be damaged itself due to the outer shell being covered in radical magic that could repel all spells.
Everyone sat inside the 2 football field long escape pod inside the living room. It had 2 dozen statues of Doerain that were filled with everything from laser rifles to Borgots, which were a blue crystal you crushed in your hand that made you invisible. There was also a pair of floating white leather 4 person couches facing a massive plasma window that showed Hamcer in the distance. In front of the couches were turquoise colored Dispits, which were a combination of steak, potatoes, 3 kinds of cheese and freshly baked bread surrounding it with the outside covered in a thick unidentified sugar that only Doerain had a supply of, on a red plate pilled high. On the left side of the room were 3 large black thrones that had laser canons in front of them you fired with a joystick. On the right side of the room were paintings of dragons wearing clothes and playing musical instruments that had secret passageways behind them to hidden rooms in the escape pods. Behind the couches were 7 glowing orange, blue, and black balls of unharmed magic that could be dived into and you would change into a savage beast for a period of time in case the room was breached. The floors had 2 phrases form Doerain’s book of knowing thoughts that were,” When a hateful person attacks my mind in the hopes of corrupting it, I’ll only smile for a moment and continue on with passion,” and the second read,” To own your failings and reckon with your past
successfully will always lead to people who want to destroy your joyous days for theirs’ lacks that very thing.”
“ How about a Dispit, they’re very delicious?” asked Doerain brightly as he hoped to brighten everyone’s mood as he picked up the warm plate of Dispits.
“ Well…I don’t know about food right now. I’m having a hard time focusing. Goarote the Hield actually burst, until now I didn’t know if it really would,” said Famaron as he looked out the plasma window from the middle of the right couch with Solcrist and Harci on either side of him.
“ I’ll have a Dispit,” said Ratie as she sat forward on the left couch then Doerain brought the plate over and she took one and bit into it and then said happily,” thank you that was perfect.”
“ I’m not sure we’ll all survive the coming weeks. The Sorplecs will be here before your mind hopes they’d decided not to come. Then we’ll have to do what all righteous men have to do at some point in their lives,” said Harci softly as he thought of the coming catastrophe.
“ Which is?” asked Solcrist as he peered over and scratched his shoulder.
“ Be our worst selves, I had to say it now just to let you all know that it’s alright. And as god watches the battle unfold I know he’s not casting doubt on any of us. Even better, he’ll be glad we stood up for ourselves. I’ve got a war in me, and that war is coming out and I make no apologies,” said Harci then he punched his right leg 3 times softly.
“ I’ve got a war in me, and when the Sorplecs track me down they’ll wish I didn’t,” said Ohgood coldly as he began thinking of spells to use when the time arrived.
“ That’s really our only chance, passion…we aren’t going to just roll over and let them kill us. That my friends gives us a huge advantage. Boy look at the massive glowing mass up there in the sky. What
is that?” asked Famaron as he stood up and walked up to a hologram that appeared when a sensor was tripped showing a 6 mile across horde of Sorplecs ships and savage beasts like the Darpock.
“ It is destiny and destruction, and it’s just in time for me as far as I’m concerned,” said Solcrist coldly as he stood up and walked up to the plasma window then raised his staff and shouted,” Ley frien more funic!”
Then a massive green lightning bolt shot out of the front of the ship and headed for the Sorplecs. A few moments later it sliced thru 20 of their ships and killed 15 of them dead as their bodies were burned to a crisp.
“ That was fun,” said Famaron slyly as he grinned at Solcrist and patted him on the back.
“ I’ve only fired the signal for the start and killed the overzelest few fools in the front. It will take a lot more to win today and yes, it was fun,” said Solcrist slyly as a smirk flashed over his face.
“ Why aren’t they firing back at us?” asked Ratie as she frowned and rubbed her left shoulder.
“ Because they are, look at the area in front of their ships, it’s filling up fast with every beast imaginable. We’d better get our staffs it’s us they’ll be coming for first,” said Mench as she hurried over and tapped on one of the gold statues of Doerain.
Then a secret doorway spun open revealing a dozen staffs and Mench grabbed hers and smiled.
r /> “ I’ve got mine, but I wish I had Famaron’s,” said Ohgood as he threw a glance at Famaron who smiled.
Then Famaron raised his staff and said snidely,” They’ve ventured too far from where life made sense,” and then he shouted,” Kridren canbe devious!”
Then a cauldron of red and purple flames appeared in front of the ships that had a massive pair of dark brown leathery hands reaching out of the top with a long black sword in its right hand. Then a wave of green energy shot down from the tip of the hands to the ground and there standing before them was a 700 yard tall Sorga, which was a half robot half gargoyle and had the heads, arms and one leg of a gargoyle and the rest was red metal robot. The Sorga had a third eye that was a robot’s in the center of its forehead. It was round in the torso with its chest cavity filled with weapons from laser canons to deadly magic filled hand grenades that were equipped with heat seeking technology and had jet thrusters on the backs of each. His chest had the face of Goam emblazoned across it.
Goam was a hugely powerful wizard who became obsessed with turning his body into the same magic that was the dimension where spells came from. Then one day he did just that and his body was transformed into magic and he instantly vanished from life forever. Occasionally parts of him would reappear in odd places when spells were cast. His wife and 2 sons searched for decades in the hopes of finding a way to contact him or bring him back. Then one day when his son cast a spell on the wall in front of him appeared the words,” I’m sorry I left you, but I found the greatest existence I could’ve imagined. I only wish you were here to share it with me and for that I apologize, dad.”
“ What in the sex is that?” asked Ratie as she smiled and looked at the Sorga.
“ It’s the friend I never had who’s about to get rid of the ones I never wanted. Go get ‘em big fella,” said Famaron boldly as he crossed his arms and smiled.
“ Since when are we friends. I thought you knew I don’t keep friends with B.O. Well now I’m pissed and there isn’t a bathroom,” said Ohgood sarcastically in a stern tone as he paced back and forth and Mench, Ratie, and Famaron laughed while Harci shook his head.
“ Can’t we have a respite from levity? The Sorplecs aren’t laughing?” asked Solcrist as he let out a sigh and then smirked at Ohgood.
“ I’d like to remedy that situation. Maybe we can laugh them to death. Is there a microphone you can patch me into?” asked Ohgood sarcastically as he inspected his staff for a microphone while everyone laughed and then he said sarcastically,” maybe this is the secret to the whole war they’ll never know what’s happening ‘til they’re dead from laughter.”
“ The Sorga is nearing the Sorplecs throw your eyes this way,” said Famaron as he smiled and tried not to laugh and pointed to the Sorga flying at the Sorplecs.
The Sorga used its jet thrusters on its back to fly at lightning speed at the Sorplecs. And as it did it pulled out a fist full of hand grenades. The Sorplecs saw her coming and had already cast 2 dozen Sargs, dragons, and Darpocks spells. The Sorga hurled its 10 hand grenades towards the 2 dozen beasts and their heat seeking jet thrusters clicked on and they shot at them. The 3 green dragons began to fly evasively, but the grenades were too fast and when they caught up to them and exploded, they turned one dragons head into a ball of gravy and its body fell helplessly to the ground. The second dragon was turned into confetti and blew away on the wind. While the third dragon had its innards turn to concrete and it instantly died. A second later it plummeted to Permea past the Sorga.
“ I’ve never seen anything like that,” said Harci as he watched the Sorga intently and grinned as he thought how amazing what he was seeing was.
“ I saw a spell similar to that many years ago, but not quite as powerful obviously. My, today is gonna be a hot one we should melt half of them to death,” said Doerain jokingly as he stretched out his back and prepared mentally for the war.
“ And laugh the rest, I still can’t find my microphone and I’m looking,” said Ohgood jokingly as he inspected Mench for a microphone and she smiled.
“ Well there are a woman’s secrets. Maybe you should keep looking I won’t mind a bit,” said Mench in a sultry voice then she grinned slightly and put her hands on her hips and looked at Ohgood who was smiling back at her.
“ I don’t want to search for too long a seasoned woman like yourself might not be able to stand it. That said maybe there are more pressing matters, Sorplecs and all,” said Ohgood as he grinned and pointed to the Sorga and Mench shook her head and smiled.
Meanwhile the Sorga was nearing the 4 Sargs and the 3 Darpocks and she fired her laser canons at the Sargs and ripped thru them like a knife thru hot butter and the Sargs blood shot out as parts of their bodies like heads and arms fell to the ground. Then the Sorga threw its grenades at the Darpocks and they raced after them, but one Darpock didn’t move an inch and when the grenades drew close it opened a hole in its eyes and out poured turquoise balls of energy that went right for the grenades. When they hit the grenades, they were enveloped in the energy balls and were unable to do more than turn to squares of red smoke.
The other 2 Darpocks were flying frantically around the sky, but then one got hit by a grenade and its belly turned into a flock of Borangs, which were an orange and black tiny bird with giant bulging eyes that shot tiny puffs of flames as they flapped their wings. What was left of the Darpock broke in two and it fell helplessly to the ground.
“ This is starting to heat up should we be worried about the Sorplecs finding us here?” asked Ratie as she watched the action.
“ No I wouldn’t worry, Ratie, we’re safely hidden here in the Cep,” said Famaron reassuringly as he smirked and rubbed Ratie’s back.
“ I’d worry if I were you, Ratie,” said Kite snidely as he burst into the room thru a different dimension and smiled menacingly and raised his staff.
Everyone turned around quickly and Solcrist said coldly,” You’ve made a big mistake coming here. It’s one you won’t be able to make again.”
“ I beg to differ, old man. I came here for vengeance,” said Kite coldly as he gently waved his staff in front of him.
Famaron put on the Seav’s and then said coyly,” Then destroy us if you dare or we’ll destroy you.”
Then Solcrist looked over at Famaron and remembered the Seav’s and smiled to himself then raised his staff like he was going to cast a spell and Kite saw this and shouted,” Casgo be your breathless hearts!”
Kite stood with his staff raised waiting for his spell to cast with everyone staring at him sternly. Then Kite raised his staff again and shouted even louder,” Tears of burning blood be undone!”
Then nothing happened and everyone burst out laughing and Ohgood said jokingly,” Are you trying to shout us to death, cause I’m barely hangin’ on.”
Then everyone laughed even louder and Kite glared at Ohgood and then threw his staff at him and Ohgood caught it and smiled.
“ What treachery is this?” asked Kite in disbelief as he felt nauseous and grabbed his stomach.
Then Famaron took off the Seav’s and gave Ohgood a knowing nod and he stepped forward and said slyly,” I feel bad for ya so I’m only gonna kill ya once,” and then Ohgood raised his staff and shouted,” The fireless Momes is varen!”
Then a giant white hand appeared over a stunned Kite and it began pummeling Kite until his entire body was crushed flat in a heap and then it turned into a blue powder and disappeared.
“ That was interesting he must have cast a in case of death spell so that his body wouldn’t be eaten by cannibals. That was smart, I really could’ve used filet of old guy soup,” said Ratie sarcastically as she looked at everyone who were rolling their eyes and trying not to laugh.
“ I’ve had old guy soup, it’s overrated,” said Solcrist then he laughed a
nd nodded no.
“ Hey look the Sorplecs are nearing Hamcer. When do we attack?” asked Harci as he eyed the Sorplec fleet intently and thought of the massive attack that was about to take place.
“ We have to wait until the majority of them are in Hamcer perfect. Then they’re all done for as is my home, but I won’t miss it much that’s for sure,” said Doerain as he thought of his castle and all the times he’d had there like the party where he met his wife and the look on her face when she smiled at him.
“ You’re doing a brave thing, Doerain, and we appreciate it,” said Mench honestly as she gave him a look and he smiled.
“ The bravest of things that is for certain. Now, our friends the Sorplecs are entering Hamcer, so it won’t be long. Prepare yourselves we need to take out most of them in the initial surge. Then we’ll just pick off the rest,” said Famaron boldly as he felt his adrenaline begin to pump and he rubbed his hands together rapidly and let out a sigh.
“ You love this sort of thing don’t you, Famaron?” asked Ratie happily as she watched him stretch out his legs and she smiled.
“ Not anymore than the most you can like anything. Alright everybody get your ships prepared to take flight. We’re moments away from critical mass when I say done and vicious, fire all you’ve got it’s time,” said Famaron boldly.
Then they saw the Sorplec fleet black out the sky and a black shadow engulfed the Cep and Hamcer as everything from Sargs, Dragons, to Darpocks as well as ships like Meheluxs could be seen everywhere.
The Sorplecs blasted their laser canons at Hamcer and began blowing it to pieces. The massive castle of Doerain’s was engulfed in flames as large chunks of it broke off and crumbled. The city was soon engulfed in flames as a robot army of decoys engaged the Sorplec forces.
“ Steady everyone hold fast!” said Famaron boldly as he raised his right hand and waited with a smirk on his face.
Everyone watched silently and gripped their staffs tightly. Then the Sorplecs began landing their ships and dragons and the sun turned dark green and thousands of Gumguts, which were a 4 headed red skinned bird like beast, filled the sky.
The Gumguts were 100 yards long and had these giant blue eyes and a huge mouth filled with sharp fangs and a long pointed nose with black spikes on the tip. They had arms like a man with massive muscles and jagged talons instead of fingers.
“ Look at that, can you believe the sky out there,” said Famaron in shock as he eyed the Gumguts that were flying in circles.
Then Epam appeared beside Famaron and said,” It will get a bit worse before better my friends, this is reality.”
“ That‘s no reality I’ve ever, wait a minute where’d you come from, Epam, I didn’t see you come in?” asked Ratie befuddled as she grimaced at Epam and rubbed his forearm.
“ Because I didn’t, I’m everywhere and nowhere all at once. Pay it no mind there is a battle at hand. Famaron, I think it’s time for the war to start in earnest,” said Epam as Famaron looked over at him with his mouth agape and he squinted.
“ He’s right, Famaron, they’ve breached the underground chamber,” said Solcrist sternly as he glanced at Famaron then smirked and nodded.
“ Ah…yes I believe you’re right,” said Famaron quietly and then he said sternly,” alright, done and vicious!”
Then the fleet began to rise up out of the Cep that was surrounding Hamcer. When they were clear of the trees they took dead aim and began blasting their laser canons, missiles, and dense magic bombs at the Sorplecs. They blew thru every dragon, Darpock, and Sarg in sight, but as they did even more emerged. But the Sorplecs ships were torn to shreds and hundreds of thousands of them were killed instantly. Many others began to flee into the skies above, but even more were trapped in the underground chamber.
“ Alright things are getting fierce. How ‘bout the second wave of hostilities. Wizards unleash your deadliest spells!” shouted Famaron as he took off his Seav’s and smiled.
Then Epam sent up his staff up in the air and it spun around and he caught it and shouted,” Badd muso mea sik!”
Then in front of the ship appeared a Gragum with light blue skin and a black leather strap over its shoulder that had dense magic grenades on it and a laser rifle. It also had a red ball of fire in front of its face that pulsed blue flames. The Gragum was 1500 feet tall and was heavily muscled.
“ Bamu ramic!” shouted Ratie as she stepped forward and glared at the Sorplecs with her staff held high.
Then a swarm of steel eating black scarabs appeared in front of the ship that was 70 yards across and in the shape of a fist.
Everyone else cast their spells and Famaron waited ‘til they had then smiled and let out a sigh and raised the staff of Simis and shouted as he thrust the staff forward,” A deadly fool is Batcac!”
Then the ship shook and a beast of flames and searing red flesh known as Heator appeared in front of the ship. It was a half mile high and looked like a man on one side and a dragon on the other with flames engulfing its entirety. It had a red glowing eye and a dark green smoking eye. It had a 3 pronged spear in its left hand and a fist full of Paga’s in its right.
Paga’s were a 10 foot tall dense and cast upon ball that would seek out already cast spells and turn them into deadly chain reactions by uncasting their magic and then recasting it turning them into different spells that would then turn on their wizards.
Ratie’s scarabs, Epam’s Gragum, and Famaron’s Heator flew at the Sorplecs as well as thousands of other spells cast by the foes of the Sorplecs.
“ Boy are they in for it, look at all that magic,” said Mench as she laughed to herself and shook Ohgood’s shoulders.
“ You’re welcome, it’s all I could do on short notice. I’ll expect 50 chests of gold and a diamond encrusted steak sandwich each and every day for the rest of my life, and that’s all,” said Ohgood sarcastically as he marveled at all the spells and then smiled at Mench.
Meanwhile there was a bloodbath in front of the ships as dragons heads and Darpock legs were in piles all over the bloody ground. Sorplecs were leaving from their ships and trying to cast spells in mid air to escape. Many were able to shape shift, but many others were devoured by Ratie’s scarabs as well as Famaron’s Heator was throwing its Paga’s at the Sorplecs beasts and a moment later they were turned into man eating Sargs and Dragons that then began chasing down their wizards. In a matter of seconds the Sorplecs were half their original numbers, but more were still on the way from the Hield including Pumrask.
“ Alovio, it seems they’ve set and sprung a little trap on us. We may need to find a better way to the chamber to refuel. Let us think about this,” said Pumrask from inside the control room on the Buco.
The throne Pumrask was sitting in was golden with red cushions. On either side of it were golden statues of a half man half Sarg holding a silver sword in either hand. The wall behind the throne was like 2 shells of peanut spread out around the throne made from dark brown smooth wood. Above his throne was Alovio’s floating black marble throne that had the shape of bicycle helmet with an indentation for her blue cushioned seat. In front of them were 3 dozen voice command holograms that would enlarge at the first bit of speech from Pumrask . There was also a padded green room in front of the holograms with a 30 foot wide and 10 foot tall red plasma window in front that green sunlight was shining thru. On the left side of the room were 3 different colored staffs on golden pedestals standing straight up. On the right side of the room there were 4 silver escape pods that were shaped like jelly beans and had the black pilot’s seat extended onto the left. The walls of the room were covered in a thick red carpet and had the words,” The last thing I expected was the beginning of everything,” written in black letters.
“ What if we use an invisibility spell?”
asked Alovio as she surveyed the carnage and let out a sigh.
“ True, we could, but they only last a short while and we still could be killed by all the spells in the general area. Hmm…what if we use the surrounding jungle as a cover and then use a spell to create a tunnel to the chamber. Yes, yes this is exactly it I need to send this message to the other Sorplecs. I’ll use my inner monologue and amplify it to only their minds,” said Pumrask then he thought the words,” All Sorplecs, please abandon the battle and head for the thick jungle beyond the city of Hamcer. Once there use an invisibility spell to conceal yourselves as you make tunnels to the chamber.
“ That should get us to the chamber, but there are so many of us dead or dying. I worry we may need a better plan of attack to crush these wizards into spots of blood on the ground,” said Alovio snidely as she thought of destroying every one of the ships she saw.
“ Well put, Alovio, what if I kill the head and the body will die?” asked Pumrask snidely as he smiled to himself and put his index fingers to the tip of his nose.

“ True, but if we were refueled we could annihilate them for certain. I say when the time is right we seek them out and exact the vengeance Kite would’ve wanted.
