Chapter 10: How the Cookie Crumbled

"dude wat the hell did u do that 4!? that was our ticket to saving my son!" Manticore screamed in Spikey's face "well! i was mad at him for making those sarcastic marks!" but Spongjaws said "thats it!" and started strangling his neck like wat Bart's dad did to him on The Simpsons Movie. "ahh! yo choken meh *gag*" "that teaches u not to mess w/ me,Cmeister's dog, or u having kicked in ur own ass by that poodle or pug, watever the hell that thing is!" yelled Spongs "its a pug" replied Cmeister. Everyone just stared at Spongs and Spikey as they wrestled until a few minutes later, a loud BOOM struck behind them and they saw a mushroom cloud the length of 2 football fields. "fuck, we gotta get moving, KNOCK IT OFF U 2!" yelled Manticore while he sent a lightning spark at the both of them and sent them flighing 5 feet away from each other "damn! i think my skull busted!" yelled Spikey "hey, where u guys going?!" "leaving w/o u, we need to find Orion" replied Genesis. A figure appeared in front of them while they were walking away, it raised its head and spoke "is someone *is someone* there *there* ?" it scared the crap out of Avilame that he fainted and laid his head on Manticore's shoulder "dude!? that gives me the hibbidy-bajibies!" frightened Cmeister "im not scared, ive seen worst, tell me... whoever u r, y do u stand b4 us while we rescue Orion Avernum?" asked Manticore as he paced around the figure pointing his sword at it "ur sword will fail u when u need it most, heir of the Flame Djinn, must u b cursed w/ a burden of the Abberants, b cast down by the gods into the Underworld, or become a hero in rescuing ur son, ur loved 1s, b a pawn of the Abberants, and drink booze all day?" asked the figure as his head followed Manticore "i have not learned much from them, but i no that i serve them well, show urself and i will cast u down myself!" "wise decision, i will introduce myself when the time is right, for now, the Flame Djinn only guides those who need the power most" and the figure faded and left Genesis,Cmeister, and the rest except Manticore, dazed w/ confusion. "i never had the chance to say good-bye" mumbled Avilame in his sleep "coconuts,lovely coconuts...grapes...monkey has my money...hes coming...drums...drums in the deep *snores*" "wat didnt he say?" asked Cmeister "i dont really have a clue" replied Stigs "shut the f*** up u 2!ur like ADHD poster adults of the year!" Manticore yelled at Spongs and Spikey trying to strangle each other , a spark split them apart and this time, Manticore didnt do it."wat caused that?" asked Stigs "i dont no but we will find out soon enuf we got to go, we've lingered here long enuf! come on u 2, u can fight each other later!" Eventually, Avilame woke up,Spongjaws and Spikey stopped but they found themselves as enemies. The FOP sprinted into the distance to find a wall the heighth of the Great Wall of China. "how we gonna get over dat?" asked Spongs "easy, we fly over it, but it seems to go on forever to the top, ill scout" replied Manticore as he lifted above the ground and shot straight up only to find himself at the top of the Unknown w/ unlimited ending of stone. Suddenly, Manticore looked up and saw a giant cookie falling from above, but Manticore wasent quick enuf when he realized he'd been flattened by the giant cookie. "well, at least we know how the cookie crumbled" snickered Avilame, everyone else was laughing their hearts out while Manticore pushed off giant pieces of cookie and stood "im okay...shut up! if were getting thru this wall im punching thru it!" Manticore punched the wall so hard, it fell and left an opening w/ static as they all walked thru getting electricuted. "dude wats up w/ all these weird stuff going on? y was he talking about the Flame Djinn?" asked Genesis "idk maybe im some heir, i dont even know wat a djinn is" replied Manticore "the Flame Djinn.." the shadowy figure appeared behind them making everyone jump a foot in the air "jeez, dont do that!" yelled all "sorry, the Flame Djinn is the Aurora, or simply a legendary warrior who defied evil long b4 The Seeker beheld the Bloodsong Prophecies, he destroyed the Hydra of the golden apple tree,held up the sky between the Earth,and at the same time had a curse that his later ancestors possessed and little of it is now u" the figure said dropped his jaw when he transformed human, wich just send 2 sparks going up and down his body w/o all that trouble to slowly change "dude, does that mean im a demigod of some sort?" "no...u r not a demigod or a god, u r a Weh no Su, master of the stars, gaurdian of Heaven, Demon Slayer of the Djinn is the Aurora, and the Flame is the element in wich the Aurora has command over, wich is Fire, but u have not come to realize ur powers, u've only just begun to learn that ur true destiny lies in the future, but has not yet come, soon.. in 2030, you will save Humans and Abberants alike..." replied the shadowy figure as it faded away in the Orion and Shadow was exchanging secrets about wat Manticore is, who's f***ed up, and the mysterious person who's been stalking the FOP since the elder days, and it seems like the journey thru to rescue them both will take forever, even until one of the four endings of the world, or maybe the universe. Wether Yin (evil) or Yang (good) it still tied together, will Yin take over Yang?
