SHOWDOWN OF EVIL
CHAPTER 1
A deal in Blood
Far beyond the plains of regular existance lay a empty world called the void.A dimension of utter nothingness and life.Long ago,a wizard name Naugus ventured bravely into the void but was betrayed and became trapped there.But the smart wizard was ever so crafty and was able to make something from nothing.
He created himself his own kingdom made out of crystal based off the memories he had of the kingdom of Acorn he once knew.He made it a perfect sanctuary for himself.Clean air,plenty of room to move in and there he could be God.
Naugus was a rather strange being.He did not look like a regular wizard.He did bear the long white beard showing age and knowledge he had gained through the millenias.He had a bad habbit of hunching over and his dusty grey cap dragged on the ground hiding his lizard like tail.His eyes were big as saucers and had small beady red corneas that would make ones blood go cold by the sight.
His white stringy beard stretched up around his large jaw and ended underneath his large ears that pointed outwards.He was completely bald ontop having no facial or head hair but instead a horn stuck out of his head like a Rhino.He would often sharpen it so it wouldnt get dull but never actually headbutted someone with it.When he was not hunched over and stood upright he would be "7'1" in height.His left hand was a pincer claw that he could crack rocks with.When he would smile he would reveal his hideous shark like teeth.Naugus was indeed foul looking.
In the void time had no meaning so Naugus did not have to worry about getting any older.For eons it seemed he had been building up his magic talents trying his hardest to escape and get revenge on the one who trapped him in here.
He was able to open up the void from the inside out but he did not have the ability to escape since he couldnt escape its pull on the dimension that would send him crashing back to the ground.But one day he did get out.Two unfortunate souls by the name of Bunnie Rabbot and Princess Sally read a incantation of a ring and were sent into his domain and he held them hostage only for bait to bring in the key to his escape.A cocky blue hedgehog going by the name of Sonic was fast enough to break the pull of the void.
He tricked the young hedgehog and was free.But before he could begin his reign he was forced to turn around and go back for he was inside too long and if he did not go back he would die.But this was only a small setback.He had found a way to finally surpass that pesky problem and was ready for to leave once again.
But he thought hard on how to make his escape.He would need help so he turned to the last person thought imaginable.Naugus opened up a doorway into the plain of suffering.He squinted looking at the surroundings.It was very dark and he could make out pillars of ice with faces inside of them frozen for eternity.Blue fire flickered from the icy black waters and a wind blew through that made Naugus shiver.He didnt like peering into this world.It was never pleasent to see.
"Come out! I summon you for a favour!" Naugus hissed through his shark teeth.
A figure stirred in the dark.A demon emerged out from the darkness beckoning to Naugus' call.He has a human appearence to him.He wore a black leather body suit that wrapped around his body.Designs on it resembled muscles and veins and on his chest were six gaps showing his pale white flesh underneath.
At the waist the suit became a black gown that dragged along the ground.The demons eyes were almost completely black showing no form of emotion.Only emptyness inside them.He proclaimed himself as the prince of pain.He knew every form of torture sexual and painful.His pale face was scarred from what apeared to be a net that drove deep gashes into his face riddling his face with perfect squares.On each point of where the squares were nails imbedded into his face and skull.Sometimes he would forget they were even there on his face.He shot Naugus a glare.
"What business do you see of me,wizard?" he asked in a monotone voice.
Naugus grinned happily. "I want to make you a deal..."
The demon raised his eyebrow and a twinkle flashed in his dark eyes.
"What kind of deal...?"
"I need to leave this place.I have been trapped here for too long and I need to escape!" he said slamming his fist down on his chair he made for himself carved out of crystal.The demon walked closer towards the channel connecting them in conversation.
"No.I will not."
He turned to leave but Naugus cryed out stopping him.
"Wait! If you do this I will grant you any wish you want! I have the power" he said nervously hoping he wouldnt walk away from him and his vengence he longed for rejected.
The demon saw that he was despereate to leave.
"Tell me...wizard.Is it really that bad living there?"
"What do you think..."
"I think...that things could be worse.You could be with me."
"Do you agree to my terms or not?" he asked impatiently.
"If you set me free of the shackles that bind me here I shall set you free of your shackles.I give you my word."
"I would first like to know the name of my business partner,demon" he uttered into a whisper.
The demon looked into himself as if recalling a long forgotten memory.
"I have many names,wizard.I was once called Elliot Spencer,other names are fear,god,death...my real name is Xipe Totec.You may call me that if you wish."
"Then I will also introduce myself! I am Naugus...a sorcerer of magic and power.Last of the
Mauga's!"
"The deal has been written in blood as it should."
He showed Naugus a paper that had his name written out in his blood.It burned to ash in his hands and became dust in the air.
"Tell me where you want to go and it shall be done."
"Take me to the planet Mobius!" he roared shaking his fist and then bursting into a couging fit.
"Mobius? I have not visited that plain but I know where it is.Prepare yourself wizard..." he said raising his hands in a dance like motion.
The world around Naugus slowly began to fade away and he found himself floating in mid air.A strong breeze blew against his face.He breathed in the fresh air of home and felt relieved.Below him was the void that was slowly shrinking away into a crack in the earth.He floated down to earth and looked around.
He was in the middle of the Great Unkown.A giant area of Mobius that was dubbed that since nobody was ever able to explore it.Unpredicatable storms would come out of nowhere,earthquakes would go off,voices would be heard in the wind when there was nothing there,plus most of the areas could not be scanned by radar because of the magnetic field around it.
He looked around and found himself in a wasteland desert where nothing could grow.A few trees tryed growing but the severe heat and lack of water made them dry up.The branches resembled gnarled hands.The ground was riddled with cracks and the the rocks were sharp and jagged poking up from the ground.This land was indeed harsh and unforgiving.Sometimes great sandstorms would rage and batter the earth scarring it.The sky was grey but calm.Their was a light breeze but nothing too bad.He threw up his arms laughing insanely as his cape flapped behind him in the wind.
"I AM FREE!!!! I AM HOME AGAIN!!" he yelled out.
He punched the air grinning insanely.He gave a deep happy sigh and turned towards the horizon.He saw black cloud hanging over the mountains.He twitched his claw eagerly grinning.
"Now...shall I have fun now or have later? hmm..." he thought aloud to himself as nasty images went through his mind.He batted his eyes towards the horizon again and then made up his mind.
"Hmm...nah.Work before pleasure...and I have much work in store for little Mobius!" he said sneering followed by a horrible raspy laugh followed by thunder.
