----------------------------------------------------------------------
The War of the Magi. Actually not just The War of the Magi. It's The War of the Magi and 20X6 and 1936. Thousands of years ago there was a great war, and there brought great devastation and stuff. Of course, these thousands of years was when before even Homestar Runner and the others were even born yet. The world was layed to ruins, and magic seized to exist. The war costed many lives, and caused devastation to the world. Luckily, the world was rebuilt, and thousands of years have passed, and Iron, Gunpowder and steam engines have been rediscovered. Unfortunately, there are those that would enslave the world by reviving the dreadful destructive power, known as "Magic". It could also do the opposite of destruction, but it hasn't been found out about... Yet. Can it be that those in power could be on the verge of repeating the sensless and deadly mistake? Only time will tell, and pray that the world doesn't get annihilated altogether...
(Somewhere in the mountains)
Biggs and Wedge, and some person were up on a mountain, at the sighting of the town called 'Cheatshe'.
"Here it is. The town." Wedge tells Biggs.
"I can't believe there's still an Esper frozen there, after the thousands of years in the War of the Magi and 20X6 and 1936." Biggs said.
"Why did the war last thousands of years anyways, and why was there opposition from 20X6 and 1936 anyways?"
"I'm not exactly sure there, Wedge. I'm glad we're not in that ridiculous war anyways."
"Yeah, but I'd like to know why they call that town 'Cheatshe'. I don't even know why it's called that!"
"I don't know either Wedge, And considering that this thing, which this man from a comic called 'Teen Girl Squad' says his name is Homestar Runner."
"Uh, what?" Homestar questioned.
Wedge was a little confused. "Biggs, was it a good idea to not put on a Slave Crown on this guy's head?" Wedge asked Biggs.
"What's the point of doing that Wedge?" Biggs replied, "Homestar already has that hat with the propeller on it and well, he's pretty dimwitted, especially when the Poopsmith gave him a million pounds of Bum Candy. He'll obey us any day. Besides, there doesn't seem to be a slave hat with a propeller on it anyways, and that lazy King of Town doesn't want to do something about it. All that oaf cares about is food!"
"Ah yes, you're right Wedge. That King of Town is awful. No wonder nobody likes him, and not even the Children/Arrowed guy likes him, even though he works with him. Anyways, we are very close to 'Cheatshe' anyways. We just have the rest of the way to go in these uh, whatever they are."
"I think according to Final Fantasy 6 terms these are Magitek Armors."
"Dammit! Thanks for reminding me there. What bugs me here though is what Children/Arrowed guy said about Homestar being able to destroy 50 of the punting dinos in under 30 seconds. How can someone like Homestar Runner be able to do that? It's unbelievable!"
"Uh, you're referring to the dino that kicked 'What's Her Face' in Teen Girl Squad are you?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Don't be so sure though. There has been heavy evidence, and even the security surveillance shows the truth. Homestar actually did it. He's going to be the key to winning this war!"
"Yeah! Well anyways, lets get down the mountain and head towards Cheatshe, from the East! Move out everyone!"
Homestar asked, "Uh, I'm sorry, what?"
"Biggs means we're going down this mountain and heading toward the town, Homestar. Get moving!" Wedge reminded Homestar.
"Uh, I'm tawking about this so called war. How come thewre is a thowsend yeawr war or so against the Makgi and 20X6 and 1936, and then there's this war between the Empire andz da Strongbadia?" Homestar questioned again.
"*sighs* Well this war has been going on before you came along. Anyways, get your butt moving and come with us!"
"Oh uh, Okay. Homestar Runner will be behind you!"
"Good. Lets move out!"
The three then go down the mountain path and move towards 'Cheatshe'. How Homestar Runner ended up being brought here and working for the Empire is unknown to him, except for the vortex that formed back at his own world. Homestar remembers the events that lead to what happened....
=============================
Homestar Runner was looking for Strong Bad, asking if he could use his Fonte Pot again, but could not find him anywhere, and was not even at his Compy 386 either. It seemed really quiet. Homestar then went down into the basement, only to find a disgruntled Strong Bad groaning and throwing hissy fits as he keeps on losing.
"Hey, Stwong Bad? What ya playin?" Homestar asked.
"None of your freaking business Homestar!" Strong Bad replied, "I'm too freaking frustrated to put up with this than to put up with whatever crap you're gonna tell me right now!"
Of course, Strong Bad's attention to Homestar Runner only got him annihilated at the first tier, and Homestar saw the word "Annihilated" on the screen in the upper left corner of the TV. Strong Bad got so furious and freaked out that he looked at Homestar with a twitchy eye.
"THAT'S IT, HOMESTAR! YOU'RE SO FREAKING DEAD!" Strong Bad shouted, as he starts chasing Homestar up the stairs to the main floor, and out of the apartment nearly everyone resides at. Homestar runs by Bubs' Concession stand and stops there.
"Hey there Homestar! How can I help you?" Bubs asked Homestar.
"Oh hey Bubs!" Homestar replied, "I don't have enough time to talk, because I'm trying to get eway from Stwong Bah..."
"YOU'RE SO GOING TO BE HURT BIG TIME," Bellowed Strong Bad as he ran towards Homestar Runner.
"What's going on here?!?" Bubs asks Strong Bad.
Before Strong Bad could even explain one bit of the mishap, Homeschool Winner comes running by and accidently collides into Homestar Runner. Homestar got up, his head a little sore.
"Owwwww, What's your prublem Howmeschewl?" Homestar asked Homeschool.
"Sorry about that Homestar," He replied, "But there's a cursed copy of Final Fantasy Anthology around here and whoever plays through and loses far too many times will get sucked into a world that is mostly Final Fantasy 6! The Disks glow blue a lot if you don't know what they look like."
"WHAT?!?" Strong Bad shouted.
"Well, the copy of Final Fantasy Anthology I sold to Strong Bad was awkward looking," Bubs tells Homeschool, "It was all weird and glowing and stuff, glowing a heavy blue might I add. Strong Bad didn't seem to mind the glow, but I just couldn't stand it!"
"Gah!" Homeschool shouts out, "We've got to find it before something really terrible happens! Homestar and Strong Bad, lets go!"
So, Homestar Runner, Homeschool Winner, and Strong Bad make a run for the basement at the apartment. Unfortunately, the three of them are too late, as The Cheat was already playing through his file and Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Strong Mad are watching him play it.
"The Cheat, stop playing that before it's too late!" Strong Bad shouted out.
"MEEEEEEEEH MEH!" (NO WAY!) The Cheat replied.
"What's the problem thiere boys?" Coach Z asked.
Homeschool replied. "Well, that copy of Final Fantasy Anthology is cursed and if losing enough times to anything will cause all of us to go into a Final Fantasy 6-like world!"
"*bubble* *bubble* *bubble*" (That's ridiculous! Games can't do that!), Pom Pom said.
Strong Mad was still watching The Cheat play, and unfortunately, The Cheat had the toughest time battling the MagiMaster at the top of the Cult of Kefka's tower, and his party succumbed to Ultima. Unfortunately, it was too late now. The game shut off on The Cheat, and a vortex opened up, sucking The Cheat in.
"HOLY CRAP! IT HAS HAPPENED ALREADY!" Strong Bad shouted, trying to hold on to the couch for dear life. Unfortunately, Strong Bad lost hold of the couch and got sucked in. Coach Z, then Homestar Runner got sucked in.
"AGH! NO I CANNOT BE SUCKED INTO THIS!" Homeschool Winner shouted as he held onto Pom Pom's leg. Unfortunately, both Homeschool and Pom Pom got sucked in next.
"NOOOOO WAY AAAAM IIIII GOOOIIINNNGG!!!" Strong Mad uttered awkwardly, being in his tantrum-like mood since finding out that the Super Bowl was over 4 hours ago one time. Eventually, Strong Mad got sucked in as well, and somehow, the others got sucked in too. Strong Sad, Bubs, Homsar, King of Town, Marzipan, Poopsmith, Blacksmith, and many other characters, which include Sir Strong Bad (1936 Strong Bad variation), Stinkoman, Pan Pan, Fat Dudley, Teen Girl Squad, Trogdor, Kerrek, Eh! Steve, Talking Wheelchair, and others among those. Then, the portal closed behind them. All of them have been sucked into a world like Final Fantasy 6's world.
=============================
Before Homestar Runner could remember the rest of what happened which lead him up to this point, Wedge notified him and Biggs that they are now at the town of Cheatshe.
"Well we're better off having Homestar be at the front point. Forward!" Biggs commanded.
"Okay then," Homestar replied as he went on ahead in his Magitek Armor.
The three meet up with some of Cheatshe's guards and their guard dogs as well.
"Magitek Armor? Dammit Cheatshe does not seem safe anymore!" One of the guards shouted, before he got blasted with a fire beam attack from Wedge's Magitek Armor. Homestar didn't even know what to do.
"Um, what's this button do?" Homestar asked as he pressed the button and unknowingly shot off a Tek Missile right into the other guard. Unfortunately, he accidently hit Biggs as well.
"Dammit Homestar watch your aim!" Biggs yelled at him, while putting up with the guard dogs, before he was able to overthrow them.
"Ooooh, Sorwy," Homestar replied, "This thing is so impossible to use! Dumb muchine!"
"*sigh*, Lets just keep going," Wedge reminds them both.
The three continue on, and of course, they come up to some more guards, who brought some of these mammoth-like creatures called Vommamths. "We must protect the mines from these people!" One of the Guards shout out. Homestar takes down the Vommamths with Tek Missiles, and the guards are fried by Fire Beams from Biggs and Wedge.
After they're defeated, the three enter the mines. Inside these mines, the three move on forward through, dealing with the little opposition they have. "According to our sources we received from the Arrowed guy and the King of Town, the Frozen Esper is just down this mine shaft." Wedge tells the others, as they approach the gate barring the way.
"Stand back, I'll handle this gate," Biggs tells Wedge and Homestar. They both back away as Biggs charges through the gate, destroying it. Of course, this was short lived, as a guard was waiting back there.
"We will not hand over the Esper! Sick em, Whelk!" The guard shouted out.
"Uh, whut is this Whelk person?" Homestar asked Wedge.
"Well, it's this ridiculous snail thing that can absorb electricity and stuff. Biggs, remember our training!" Wedge replied.
"Yeah, and we should attack it when it's head is sticking out, otherwise we'll get a major shockage!" Biggs replied.
Unfortunately, Homestar would learn the hard way, as he attacks the shell instead of the head, and gets volted seriously.
"Um, I think you should have told that to Homestar as well there Wedge," Biggs said to Wedge.
"Owwww, those things are bad for you, Whelk!" Homestar told Whelk, after getting over the voltage he received. Homestar decided to yank out Whelk's soft body and then whip it around and also against it's own shell. Twirling Whelk around, Homestar Runner tosses him into the air and then finishes him off with a Tek Missile. Biggs and Wedge were shocked at the sight.
"Holy Crap!" Wedge said, "From dumb to intelligent in just a few short minutes! He's learned really fast!"
"Oh it was nothin' really," Homestar replied, "Whelk is far too easy for his own good, and I showed it who's boss. Now lets get this frozen Popsicle up ahead!"
"THAT'S FROZEN ESPER YOU DOPE!" Biggs shouted.
"Knock it off Biggs!" Wedge shouted at Biggs.
Afterwards, the three finally make their way towards the frozen Esper. It was glowing errily blue.
"Wow, that's got to be the most best looking thing ever, Seriously." Homestar said.
Unfortunately, the glow got more bright.
"What's happening?!?" Biggs shouted, "AGH NO!!!!!"
Biggs disappeared, leaving only Wedge and Homestar Runner there. Soon, Wedge disappeared by another bright flash. Now Homestar was left alone. Strangely though, the frozen Esper used some sort of beams on Homestar and continued on doing so until the space that Homestar was in got bigger, then Homestar blacked out, the last thing he remembers is the Esper using those beams on him.
Homestar woke up. He got up, and saw that he was no longer in the mines of 'Cheatshe'. "Wow, you finally woke up," an old man tells him.
Homestar took one step, but felt a little naucious. "Ooooh man, I drank one too many glasses of Melonade," Homestar replied, "And I blame that oversized Popsicle for my condition too."
"Something is really going on here," The old man tells Homestar, "That frozen Esper you and the others went to is dangerous, and somehow you haven't disappeared from view at all."
Of course, there was some shouting outside. "Hey! Open up and hand over that weirdo and his Magitek Armor right now!" It was the guards again.
"You better get out of here, uh, whoever you are," The old man tells Homestar.
"Oh uh, my name is Homestar Runner," Homestar replied, "And I'll get eway frum these people you talk of."
So, Homestar was lead out the back door, and Homestar went on from there. The guards saw him up on the bridge and run off elsewhere to get a way up to Homestar. He continued forward, dealing with a few Were Rats, Vaporites, and Repomen, which he swiftly defeated with his baseball bat. Homestar found some interesting items inside, like a tent, and other items as well. Unfortunately, as Homestar got to the left bend, the guards of 'Cheatshe' got him cornered, and unfortunately, part of the floor was weak, causing him to fall through the floor. Homestar was laying on his back, and he got up. He takes a few short steps before he falls down and becomes unconsious. Of course, he has a small extra flashback...
=======================================
Arrowed guy grinned as he spitted arrows at one of the soldiers that tried to escape with Homestar. "Hahahaha! I spit arrows, drive a children truck, toss MSG-filled Spring Rolls, and Cerebellums others with an oversized brain with an Eye patch!" Arrowed guy taunted the dying soldier, "Nobody will get Homestar out of here! He will win us the war! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" After the taunting, Arrowed guy finished off the soldier by a final spitting of arrows.
Arrowed Guy glared at Homestar. "Don't try to escape from Vertex Homestar! You cannot evade us and you'll be working for us! You and Marzipan are excellent additions to our army! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
Homestar would be angry, but unfortunately, he's more scared of the fact that Arrowed Guy is now a reality and not just a mere character in Strong Bad's 'Teen Girl Squad' comic. Homestar quietly walked back, not thinking of what just happened to the soldier who tried to help him out of the city of Vertex.
Later that day, the King of Town proposes the speech.
"To this day, we shall see the start of magic being revived, and me eating all this food to my right. But of course, this reviving of magic will be a breakthrough, and one giant step for the Empire! All hail the King of Town!" The King of Town announces.
"Long Live the King of Town! Long live the Empire!" the soldiers cheer, despite that every single one of them doesn't like the King of Town.
=======================================
Back at the old man's house, the back door opened. "About time you got here, Mexican-mask wearing loonie!" The Old man said.
"Hey! That's Strong Bad to you!" Strong Bad replied loudly!
"Okay," The Old man replied, "And how do you type with those Boxing gloves on?!?"
"Hey I don't like that question Arvis! I've had enough of that question from my E-mails! So anyways, what's up?"
"The guards of 'Cheatshe' are after Homestar Runner, and if they manage to get their hands on him, we're done for!"
"WHAT?!? HOMESTAR IS LIKE THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON EVER! HE FREAKING GOT ME LOSING AND CHASING AFTER HIM!"
"Still, you're the only one who can save him. You need to head the same way Homestar went and find him."
"Fine then. I'll do it. Anyways I admit, Homestar is not as annoying as Homsar anyways."
Strong Bad runs through the same path Homestar Runner took, and finding the hole where Homestar fell through. He jumped down. Sure enough, he saw Homestar lying on the floor, unconsious. Strong Bad looks ahead and sees the situation.
"Oh crap! Those guards are extremely terrible. Those mammoth freaks and that stupid armored leader. What am I going to do?"
Strong Bad then hears something familiar: "Meeeeah Meeahh Meeeh!" (We can Help!). Strong Bad looks back, and is surprised by who he sees. "The Cheat! You're here! Oh man, things are really getting out of hand here. The freaking guards are after Homestar for some reason. We've got to put a stop to them!"
"Meeeh meeeaaheeh meaahehe meeeh meeha Meeah Meh." (There's more of me as I found out, Strong Bad.) The Cheat replied.
Behind the Cheat, there popped out 10 more Cheat critters. "Okay, lets kick some 'Cheatshe' guard butt!" Strong Bad shouted out. Strong Bad takes one group of Cheats, while the Cheat takes another, and another 4 occupy the last group. The Cheat goes ahead to dispatch some of the guards, via capers such as 'prank call!' and 'sworded', while the other Cheats attack with their weapons. Strong Bad attacks a few of the Vommamths with his boxing gloves, not realizing how strong they are. The guards were then defeated by the Cheats in Strong Bad's group. The lone Cheat group without 'The Cheat' are on guard, preventing whatever opposition from reaching Homestar Runner.
Meanwhile, Strong Bad's group continued moving forwards to the leader of the opposition. The Cheat's group following behind. They finally reach the demented leader. "You're trying to prevent us from getting that fiend, are you?" The leader said, looking at Strong Bad.
"Yeah, and we're gonna freaking pulverize you as well and there's nothing you can do about it!" Strong Bad replied, "I suppose I'm gonna have to get you DELETED!"
"You're so dead there, mister!" Growled the guard leader.
The vicious guard leader runs forwards and knocks Strong Bad backwards. The other Cheats attempt to fight back, but they too are knocked back, and towards Strong Bad. The Cheat was horrified at this fact and decides to get back at that guard by projecting a couple of Knights (The ones from the Trogdor game), and of course, they manage to get the guard leader 'sworded'. Unfortunately, he was damaged a little. "Oh, what a pathetic attack there you furball," The guard leader said to The Cheat, "But I cannot die by getting sworded that easily!"
The guard leader kicked The Cheat away, and looked back at Strong Bad, who got up. "You're all pathetic! You cannot beat me! All your attempts are defeated and I'm invincible! Hand over that freak or die!"
"You're ruthless man, ruthless!" Strong Bad shouted, "What makes you think you can have Homestar that easy! Only myself will get into stuff that involves stuff towards Homestar that could otherwise put him in a lot of pain and stuff, and you're not gonna have him!"
"Well die you fat-stomached freak of nature!" The guard leader replied, with an evil grin on his face.
Strong Bad thought to himself what could happen to him, seeing as he is about to die at the hands of a psychopath who couldn't be sworded whatsoever. The guard leader was ready to finish off Strong Bad, ready to strike where it will mean a fatal kill. He charged towards Strong Bad, aiming at his forehead targetted by the blue gem, and was almost about ready to strike, when a blast of fire came towards him, frying the guard leader and sending him flying backwards. The guard leader was shocked when he saw whoever used fire on him. "You leave Stwong Bad alone there!" An angry Homestar Runner told him.
Homestar, along with the Cheat and the other Cheats, marched towards the guard leader. "But this can't be! How could you have possibly used magic on me! Oh crap! I'm doomed!"
The guard leader attempted to run away, but of course, Homestar was quick with the bat and hit where it hurt, and the guard leader dropped like a fly. "Well, dat's the last of them," Homestar said, "And thanks, The Cheat. I've had eenough uf the dreams I've seen."
"Holy Crap Homestar," Strong Bad replied, "You know how we freaking got here? If you do, then Oh man, what a big mistake in my part for even getting that ridiculous glowing copy of Final Fantasy Anthology."
"Meeeeeeeh Meeah," (It was my fault actually), The Cheat tells them, "Meeeeah meefh meeeeh meeeeh meeeeh" (I shouldn't have bothered playing that game).
"Oh it wasn't entirely your fault there, Cheat. I didn't know that it was cursed to begin with. There's no time to resume what went on. We should head straight to Bubs' Concession castle."
"Okay." Homestar agrees.
Homestar, Strong Bad, and the Cheat leave the cave through a passage. The switch they found that leads out of the place is noted by Strong Bad when any of their friends needs to backtrack through there. The Cheat told the other Cheats to stay and guard the place while he is gone with the others. With determination, the three leave 'Cheatshe' and get ready for their long trip towards Bubs' Concession Castle.
-----------------------
So far this is turning out to be one crazy fanfic. Next chapter they will all meet Bubs at his Concession Castle, then be on their way to the Returners' Hideout.

Homestar asked, "Uh, I'm sorry, what?"

"Oh uh, Okay. Homestar Runner will be behind you!"
"Good. Lets move out!"
The three then go down the mountain path and move towards 'Cheatshe'. How Homestar Runner ended up being brought here and working for the Empire is unknown to him, except for the vortex that formed back at his own world. Homestar remembers the events that lead to what happened....
=============================
Homestar Runner was looking for Strong Bad, asking if he could use his Fonte Pot again, but could not find him anywhere, and was not even at his Compy 386 either. It seemed really quiet. Homestar then went down into the basement, only to find a disgruntled Strong Bad groaning and throwing hissy fits as he keeps on losing.
"Hey, Stwong Bad? What ya playin?" Homestar asked.
"None of your freaking business Homestar!" Strong Bad replied, "I'm too freaking frustrated to put up with this than to put up with whatever crap you're gonna tell me right now!"
Of course, Strong Bad's attention to Homestar Runner only got him annihilated at the first tier, and Homestar saw the word "Annihilated" on the screen in the upper left corner of the TV. Strong Bad got so furious and freaked out that he looked at Homestar with a twitchy eye.
"THAT'S IT, HOMESTAR! YOU'RE SO FREAKING DEAD!" Strong Bad shouted, as he starts chasing Homestar up the stairs to the main floor, and out of the apartment nearly everyone resides at. Homestar runs by Bubs' Concession stand and stops there.
"Hey there Homestar! How can I help you?" Bubs asked Homestar.
"Oh hey Bubs!" Homestar replied, "I don't have enough time to talk, because I'm trying to get eway from Stwong Bah..."
"YOU'RE SO GOING TO BE HURT BIG TIME," Bellowed Strong Bad as he ran towards Homestar Runner.
"What's going on here?!?" Bubs asks Strong Bad.
Before Strong Bad could even explain one bit of the mishap, Homeschool Winner comes running by and accidently collides into Homestar Runner. Homestar got up, his head a little sore.
"Owwwww, What's your prublem Howmeschewl?" Homestar asked Homeschool.
"Sorry about that Homestar," He replied, "But there's a cursed copy of Final Fantasy Anthology around here and whoever plays through and loses far too many times will get sucked into a world that is mostly Final Fantasy 6! The Disks glow blue a lot if you don't know what they look like."
"WHAT?!?" Strong Bad shouted.
"Well, the copy of Final Fantasy Anthology I sold to Strong Bad was awkward looking," Bubs tells Homeschool, "It was all weird and glowing and stuff, glowing a heavy blue might I add. Strong Bad didn't seem to mind the glow, but I just couldn't stand it!"
"Gah!" Homeschool shouts out, "We've got to find it before something really terrible happens! Homestar and Strong Bad, lets go!"
So, Homestar Runner, Homeschool Winner, and Strong Bad make a run for the basement at the apartment. Unfortunately, the three of them are too late, as The Cheat was already playing through his file and Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Strong Mad are watching him play it.
"The Cheat, stop playing that before it's too late!" Strong Bad shouted out.
"MEEEEEEEEH MEH!" (NO WAY!) The Cheat replied.
"What's the problem thiere boys?" Coach Z asked.
Homeschool replied. "Well, that copy of Final Fantasy Anthology is cursed and if losing enough times to anything will cause all of us to go into a Final Fantasy 6-like world!"
"*bubble* *bubble* *bubble*" (That's ridiculous! Games can't do that!), Pom Pom said.
Strong Mad was still watching The Cheat play, and unfortunately, The Cheat had the toughest time battling the MagiMaster at the top of the Cult of Kefka's tower, and his party succumbed to Ultima. Unfortunately, it was too late now. The game shut off on The Cheat, and a vortex opened up, sucking The Cheat in.
"HOLY CRAP! IT HAS HAPPENED ALREADY!" Strong Bad shouted, trying to hold on to the couch for dear life. Unfortunately, Strong Bad lost hold of the couch and got sucked in. Coach Z, then Homestar Runner got sucked in.
"AGH! NO I CANNOT BE SUCKED INTO THIS!" Homeschool Winner shouted as he held onto Pom Pom's leg. Unfortunately, both Homeschool and Pom Pom got sucked in next.
"NOOOOO WAY AAAAM IIIII GOOOIIINNNGG!!!" Strong Mad uttered awkwardly, being in his tantrum-like mood since finding out that the Super Bowl was over 4 hours ago one time. Eventually, Strong Mad got sucked in as well, and somehow, the others got sucked in too. Strong Sad, Bubs, Homsar, King of Town, Marzipan, Poopsmith, Blacksmith, and many other characters, which include Sir Strong Bad (1936 Strong Bad variation), Stinkoman, Pan Pan, Fat Dudley, Teen Girl Squad, Trogdor, Kerrek, Eh! Steve, Talking Wheelchair, and others among those. Then, the portal closed behind them. All of them have been sucked into a world like Final Fantasy 6's world.
=============================
Before Homestar Runner could remember the rest of what happened which lead him up to this point, Wedge notified him and Biggs that they are now at the town of Cheatshe.
"Well we're better off having Homestar be at the front point. Forward!" Biggs commanded.
"Okay then," Homestar replied as he went on ahead in his Magitek Armor.
The three meet up with some of Cheatshe's guards and their guard dogs as well.
"Magitek Armor? Dammit Cheatshe does not seem safe anymore!" One of the guards shouted, before he got blasted with a fire beam attack from Wedge's Magitek Armor. Homestar didn't even know what to do.
"Um, what's this button do?" Homestar asked as he pressed the button and unknowingly shot off a Tek Missile right into the other guard. Unfortunately, he accidently hit Biggs as well.
"Dammit Homestar watch your aim!" Biggs yelled at him, while putting up with the guard dogs, before he was able to overthrow them.
"Ooooh, Sorwy," Homestar replied, "This thing is so impossible to use! Dumb muchine!"
"*sigh*, Lets just keep going," Wedge reminds them both.
The three continue on, and of course, they come up to some more guards, who brought some of these mammoth-like creatures called Vommamths. "We must protect the mines from these people!" One of the Guards shout out. Homestar takes down the Vommamths with Tek Missiles, and the guards are fried by Fire Beams from Biggs and Wedge.
After they're defeated, the three enter the mines. Inside these mines, the three move on forward through, dealing with the little opposition they have. "According to our sources we received from the Arrowed guy and the King of Town, the Frozen Esper is just down this mine shaft." Wedge tells the others, as they approach the gate barring the way.
"Stand back, I'll handle this gate," Biggs tells Wedge and Homestar. They both back away as Biggs charges through the gate, destroying it. Of course, this was short lived, as a guard was waiting back there.
"We will not hand over the Esper! Sick em, Whelk!" The guard shouted out.
"Uh, whut is this Whelk person?" Homestar asked Wedge.
"Well, it's this ridiculous snail thing that can absorb electricity and stuff. Biggs, remember our training!" Wedge replied.
"Yeah, and we should attack it when it's head is sticking out, otherwise we'll get a major shockage!" Biggs replied.
Unfortunately, Homestar would learn the hard way, as he attacks the shell instead of the head, and gets volted seriously.
"Um, I think you should have told that to Homestar as well there Wedge," Biggs said to Wedge.
"Owwww, those things are bad for you, Whelk!" Homestar told Whelk, after getting over the voltage he received. Homestar decided to yank out Whelk's soft body and then whip it around and also against it's own shell. Twirling Whelk around, Homestar Runner tosses him into the air and then finishes him off with a Tek Missile. Biggs and Wedge were shocked at the sight.
"Holy Crap!" Wedge said, "From dumb to intelligent in just a few short minutes! He's learned really fast!"
"Oh it was nothin' really," Homestar replied, "Whelk is far too easy for his own good, and I showed it who's boss. Now lets get this frozen Popsicle up ahead!"
"THAT'S FROZEN ESPER YOU DOPE!" Biggs shouted.
"Knock it off Biggs!" Wedge shouted at Biggs.
Afterwards, the three finally make their way towards the frozen Esper. It was glowing errily blue.
"Wow, that's got to be the most best looking thing ever, Seriously." Homestar said.
Unfortunately, the glow got more bright.
"What's happening?!?" Biggs shouted, "AGH NO!!!!!"
Biggs disappeared, leaving only Wedge and Homestar Runner there. Soon, Wedge disappeared by another bright flash. Now Homestar was left alone. Strangely though, the frozen Esper used some sort of beams on Homestar and continued on doing so until the space that Homestar was in got bigger, then Homestar blacked out, the last thing he remembers is the Esper using those beams on him.
Homestar woke up. He got up, and saw that he was no longer in the mines of 'Cheatshe'. "Wow, you finally woke up," an old man tells him.
Homestar took one step, but felt a little naucious. "Ooooh man, I drank one too many glasses of Melonade," Homestar replied, "And I blame that oversized Popsicle for my condition too."
"Something is really going on here," The old man tells Homestar, "That frozen Esper you and the others went to is dangerous, and somehow you haven't disappeared from view at all."
Of course, there was some shouting outside. "Hey! Open up and hand over that weirdo and his Magitek Armor right now!" It was the guards again.
"You better get out of here, uh, whoever you are," The old man tells Homestar.
"Oh uh, my name is Homestar Runner," Homestar replied, "And I'll get eway frum these people you talk of."
So, Homestar was lead out the back door, and Homestar went on from there. The guards saw him up on the bridge and run off elsewhere to get a way up to Homestar. He continued forward, dealing with a few Were Rats, Vaporites, and Repomen, which he swiftly defeated with his baseball bat. Homestar found some interesting items inside, like a tent, and other items as well. Unfortunately, as Homestar got to the left bend, the guards of 'Cheatshe' got him cornered, and unfortunately, part of the floor was weak, causing him to fall through the floor. Homestar was laying on his back, and he got up. He takes a few short steps before he falls down and becomes unconsious. Of course, he has a small extra flashback...
=======================================
Arrowed guy grinned as he spitted arrows at one of the soldiers that tried to escape with Homestar. "Hahahaha! I spit arrows, drive a children truck, toss MSG-filled Spring Rolls, and Cerebellums others with an oversized brain with an Eye patch!" Arrowed guy taunted the dying soldier, "Nobody will get Homestar out of here! He will win us the war! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" After the taunting, Arrowed guy finished off the soldier by a final spitting of arrows.
Arrowed Guy glared at Homestar. "Don't try to escape from Vertex Homestar! You cannot evade us and you'll be working for us! You and Marzipan are excellent additions to our army! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
Homestar would be angry, but unfortunately, he's more scared of the fact that Arrowed Guy is now a reality and not just a mere character in Strong Bad's 'Teen Girl Squad' comic. Homestar quietly walked back, not thinking of what just happened to the soldier who tried to help him out of the city of Vertex.
Later that day, the King of Town proposes the speech.
"To this day, we shall see the start of magic being revived, and me eating all this food to my right. But of course, this reviving of magic will be a breakthrough, and one giant step for the Empire! All hail the King of Town!" The King of Town announces.
"Long Live the King of Town! Long live the Empire!" the soldiers cheer, despite that every single one of them doesn't like the King of Town.
=======================================
Back at the old man's house, the back door opened. "About time you got here, Mexican-mask wearing loonie!" The Old man said.
"Hey! That's Strong Bad to you!" Strong Bad replied loudly!
"Okay," The Old man replied, "And how do you type with those Boxing gloves on?!?"
"Hey I don't like that question Arvis! I've had enough of that question from my E-mails! So anyways, what's up?"
"The guards of 'Cheatshe' are after Homestar Runner, and if they manage to get their hands on him, we're done for!"
"WHAT?!? HOMESTAR IS LIKE THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON EVER! HE FREAKING GOT ME LOSING AND CHASING AFTER HIM!"
"Still, you're the only one who can save him. You need to head the same way Homestar went and find him."
"Fine then. I'll do it. Anyways I admit, Homestar is not as annoying as Homsar anyways."
Strong Bad runs through the same path Homestar Runner took, and finding the hole where Homestar fell through. He jumped down. Sure enough, he saw Homestar lying on the floor, unconsious. Strong Bad looks ahead and sees the situation.
"Oh crap! Those guards are extremely terrible. Those mammoth freaks and that stupid armored leader. What am I going to do?"
Strong Bad then hears something familiar: "Meeeeah Meeahh Meeeh!" (We can Help!). Strong Bad looks back, and is surprised by who he sees. "The Cheat! You're here! Oh man, things are really getting out of hand here. The freaking guards are after Homestar for some reason. We've got to put a stop to them!"
"Meeeh meeeaaheeh meaahehe meeeh meeha Meeah Meh." (There's more of me as I found out, Strong Bad.) The Cheat replied.
Behind the Cheat, there popped out 10 more Cheat critters. "Okay, lets kick some 'Cheatshe' guard butt!" Strong Bad shouted out. Strong Bad takes one group of Cheats, while the Cheat takes another, and another 4 occupy the last group. The Cheat goes ahead to dispatch some of the guards, via capers such as 'prank call!' and 'sworded', while the other Cheats attack with their weapons. Strong Bad attacks a few of the Vommamths with his boxing gloves, not realizing how strong they are. The guards were then defeated by the Cheats in Strong Bad's group. The lone Cheat group without 'The Cheat' are on guard, preventing whatever opposition from reaching Homestar Runner.
Meanwhile, Strong Bad's group continued moving forwards to the leader of the opposition. The Cheat's group following behind. They finally reach the demented leader. "You're trying to prevent us from getting that fiend, are you?" The leader said, looking at Strong Bad.
"Yeah, and we're gonna freaking pulverize you as well and there's nothing you can do about it!" Strong Bad replied, "I suppose I'm gonna have to get you DELETED!"
"You're so dead there, mister!" Growled the guard leader.
The vicious guard leader runs forwards and knocks Strong Bad backwards. The other Cheats attempt to fight back, but they too are knocked back, and towards Strong Bad. The Cheat was horrified at this fact and decides to get back at that guard by projecting a couple of Knights (The ones from the Trogdor game), and of course, they manage to get the guard leader 'sworded'. Unfortunately, he was damaged a little. "Oh, what a pathetic attack there you furball," The guard leader said to The Cheat, "But I cannot die by getting sworded that easily!"
The guard leader kicked The Cheat away, and looked back at Strong Bad, who got up. "You're all pathetic! You cannot beat me! All your attempts are defeated and I'm invincible! Hand over that freak or die!"
"You're ruthless man, ruthless!" Strong Bad shouted, "What makes you think you can have Homestar that easy! Only myself will get into stuff that involves stuff towards Homestar that could otherwise put him in a lot of pain and stuff, and you're not gonna have him!"
"Well die you fat-stomached freak of nature!" The guard leader replied, with an evil grin on his face.
Strong Bad thought to himself what could happen to him, seeing as he is about to die at the hands of a psychopath who couldn't be sworded whatsoever. The guard leader was ready to finish off Strong Bad, ready to strike where it will mean a fatal kill. He charged towards Strong Bad, aiming at his forehead targetted by the blue gem, and was almost about ready to strike, when a blast of fire came towards him, frying the guard leader and sending him flying backwards. The guard leader was shocked when he saw whoever used fire on him. "You leave Stwong Bad alone there!" An angry Homestar Runner told him.
Homestar, along with the Cheat and the other Cheats, marched towards the guard leader. "But this can't be! How could you have possibly used magic on me! Oh crap! I'm doomed!"
The guard leader attempted to run away, but of course, Homestar was quick with the bat and hit where it hurt, and the guard leader dropped like a fly. "Well, dat's the last of them," Homestar said, "And thanks, The Cheat. I've had eenough uf the dreams I've seen."
"Holy Crap Homestar," Strong Bad replied, "You know how we freaking got here? If you do, then Oh man, what a big mistake in my part for even getting that ridiculous glowing copy of Final Fantasy Anthology."
"Meeeeeeeh Meeah," (It was my fault actually), The Cheat tells them, "Meeeeah meefh meeeeh meeeeh meeeeh" (I shouldn't have bothered playing that game).
"Oh it wasn't entirely your fault there, Cheat. I didn't know that it was cursed to begin with. There's no time to resume what went on. We should head straight to Bubs' Concession castle."
"Okay." Homestar agrees.
Homestar, Strong Bad, and the Cheat leave the cave through a passage. The switch they found that leads out of the place is noted by Strong Bad when any of their friends needs to backtrack through there. The Cheat told the other Cheats to stay and guard the place while he is gone with the others. With determination, the three leave 'Cheatshe' and get ready for their long trip towards Bubs' Concession Castle.

So far this is turning out to be one crazy fanfic. Next chapter they will all meet Bubs at his Concession Castle, then be on their way to the Returners' Hideout.
