A new OC is coming into this story. This is not my OC, but someone else's, and I did ask them for permission to use it. Just read on and you'll see.

Chapter 25

We crossed the bridge into the Hall of Valor, opened the door, and went inside. It was halfway what we expected, and halfway horrifying at the same time. The room itself is nice. Like the name implies, it's a very long hallway whose length runs down my left side, given that we appeared near the right wall. The decorations seemed fairly akin to vikings with horned helmets, swords, shields, bows, and heads of animals mounted on the walls. The temperature of the room was fairly warm because there were two fireplaces in the middle of the room lit at the same time. On the flip side, the tables were destroyed, condiments and food were everywhere, and random people, men and women dressed as vikings, sustained various injuries and were busy performing first aid on each other by wrapping each other up. They paid no mind to our arrival because they were currently tending to themselves.

"What happened here?" Chef asked.

"Aye, I'll tell you what happened." From our front approached a man with tan-orange skin and a deep voice. He had purple warpaint where one stripe ran down his face while four more came from corners of the head, a short brown mohawk like Butters', and pale eyes. He wore purple leather armor with black leggings and brown boots. He carried two glaives like Terrorblade's but his glowed purple and white. "'Tis the work of my brother."

"Your brother?" Ray asked.

"Terrorblade." The words out of the mohawk man's mouth doused me in surprise. If this guy really is Terrorblade's brother as if he so claims, then he must have an idea how to defeat Terrorblade.

"You're...Terrorblade's brother?" Stan asked. "But he's a demon, and you're..."

"A regular human, yes." The mohawk man nodded. "I am Magina, the Anti-Mage." Yeah, I know where this guy originated from.

"Magina? That sounds like 'vagina'." Isaac then began laughing, that pervert. Wendy shot Isaac a glare, as predicted.

"Haha, very funny." Magina rolled his eyes. "I can see someone here just hit puberty." Damn, am I gonna be a horny idiot when I grow older?

"Why do they call you the Anti-Mage?" Wendy asked.

"Well I do not like magic. At all." Haha, that's funny. It'd be a real shame if he's serious because the four of us use some kind of magic, and Stan too is probably magical himself in the way of the sword. Magina glared at all of us, then cleared his throat. "It all started on my eighth birthday. A magician was hired to come to my birthday party. He offered to show me a neat card trick. I remember him telling me to pick a card, and I pulled out a four-of-diamond. He then put it back in the deck and he shuffled it in some weird way. When he pulled out the four-of-diamonds, he asked me 'Is this your card?'"

"So then what happened?" Stan asked.

"When I answered 'yes', he dropped the card on the floor and punched me in the face, knocking me down on the floor and sending me into a month-long coma." Magina raised and gripped his glaives tighter with an expression so angry it makes him look like Wendy wanting to choke someone for wronging her. "I'm still gonna kill that fucker!"

"Uh, wow, um, ok." Wendy scratched her head, turned to us, and rolled her eyes. "So how do we kill Terrorblade?"

Magina shook his head. "You don't kill Terrorblade, but he can still be stopped. But you need to talk to the other Dovahkiin who is present in this building - the Hall of Valor."

"Wait, there's another Dovahkiin?" Ray asked. "I thought there can only be one."

"There can be more than one Dovahkiin coexisting," Magina replied. "However, you are currently the only living Dovahkiin that has been discovered as of now. Imagine it like the actual Dovahkiins from Skyrim."

"Wait, why are you here then?" Hmm, my question might have come off a bit rude there.

"Because despite how much of an asshole my brother Terrorblade is, I still care about him and his well being." Magina shook his head. "He wasn't always a demon, we were both monks at one point. But he messed around with life forces and demonic magic, made a demonic pact, and now he's like this. The Terrorblade that you know right now isn't the real him. He's corrupted, the lust for power influencing him like this."

Wendy sighed. "I'm really sorry."

"Wait, I gotta say something children." Chef then stood next to Magina. "There's something I need to share with you, and I was about to share it the first time I saw you children. You do know why you have to beat up Terrorblade, right?"

"So he doesn't spread terror," Stan replied.

Chef nodded. "Yes, but think about it children. He tried to work with the U.S. Government to start a nuclear war with China, Russia, and the Middle East. Do you know what this is going to mean?"

"Maybe," Wendy replied.

"Have you kids ever played the video game series Fallout?" We shook our heads at Chef's question. I've seen people at my school play that game, but I myself have never played it before. "Well imagine a post-apocalyptic world where the U.S. and China bomb the smithereens out of each other with nukes, leaving behind a world of mutant monsters roaming the earth and society as we know it ending, where you as the player have to survive the world." My friends were clearly scared as they cringed at the thought. "Now imagine that game becoming reality." I can't believe it. Terrorblade wanting to destroy the world by having countries nuke each other? But why?

"Oh no!" Stan choked in horror.

"Wait, that would mean that Matt Parker, or that big bad government guy, was just being used!" Wendy growled. "Terrorblade...that fat bastard!"

"Oh that's not the end of it." Magina stepped forward. "Those nuclear weapons are only a means to an end. What he really plans to do is use the nuclear weapons to weaken the human's resolve, and when they are weakened, the demons who are sided with him will rise up and strike to take over the earth."

"But I thought Satan will stop him," Stan replied.

Magina laughed. "You think Satan will stop Terrorblade? He ignored the codified rites that should have bound his behavior and broke every law in all the layers of Hell. Satan's a fucking pussy, you know this, and Jesus Christ is too concerned with rebuilding Heaven from Terrorblade's last attack, the angels in Heaven suffered as much as we are now. I can't blame Jesus though, he did what he could. Terrorblade already built an army. We're the last line of defense, as you can see here." Magina beckoned his hand to my left to show us what we saw previously - people dressed as vikings sustaining mortal injuries. "And let me show you what kids at home are dealing with." Magina whirled his hands and suddenly an ethereal mirror appeared. All of us looked into it to see what it was all about.

The first scene showed the town of South Park as a whole holding off blue demons...barely. "As you can see, the demons have already begun their assault," Magina said. "Let's see what about your friends."

The next scene showed our fourth grade class trapped within Mr. Garrison's classroom. In the corner Butters and some of the girls were crying. Craig and Clyde did their best to keep the door barred. Kyle shouted something that we could not hear as he raised his golf club as to rally the class. Craig and Clyde jumped out of the way as the door broke down, revealing a few imps. Bolts of magic and arrows flew at the demons. When they died, a few second graders rushed in to comfort our fourth grade class. "Your friends are held inside your elementary school," Magina said.

"That bastard!" Stan gritted his teeth in anger.

"Wait, there is one more." Magina revealed the final scene which showed the White House under attack from demons wielding assault rifles as the civillians screamed in terror and ran around. The U.S. Army were doing their best to keep the situation under control.

"Is anywhere else being attacked?" Wendy asked.

"No, only key spots in the U.S." Magina let out a yawn as the magic mirror disappeared. "Terrorblade's demons are trying to make it seem like the U.S. started the nuclear war so that other countries will retaliate, so they're doing their best to eliminate their biggest threats. Thing is, the human race has become very resilient and vigilant after the events of the 'ad-attacks' and the PC movement, so the demons can't fight the humans head-on. It's a cruel, manipulative move, and if we don't hurry, the world will end." Well I can see why Terrorblade would consider the children of South Park a threat - many occasions the children of South Park manage to save the town and even the country, so logically, Terrorblade would want to put an end to my classmates.

"You talked about another Dovahkiin," Ray reminded.

Magina snapped his fingers "Yes, I forgot, my apologies. he's over down the hall. Blue jacket, black glasses, brown hair. You can't miss him. Don't let me keep you. And I wish you luck, children."

"I'm going to stay here with Magina," Chef added. "Stay safe children."

We all bowed down. "Thank you."

We walked down the Hall of Valor, walking past screaming injured vikings. At the end of the hall was a door on the back-right corner on the wall (opposite of the wall we came in from) and there stood near that doorway was a kid about our age - a kid too familiar to me. I swear I've seen him somewhere in my class before. That said, that kid has messy brown hair, black round glasses, a blue jacket that revealed a yellow T-shirt, and gray pants. He was talking to another kid who had long blonde hair, a brown newsboy hat, a red jacket with a brown bowtie, and teal pants with pink socks. I immediately recognized both kids - the blue jacket kid is John Vanson and the blonde boy is Phillip Pirrup, but everyone calls him "Pip". I don't know either of them. I don't think much of them. As far as I remember, John Vanson was in my fourth grade class who was a pervert like Isaac; unlike Isaac, however, he had zero self-awareness and he wasn't "cool", so he kept trying to hang out with Stan and friends and kept trying to hit on Wendy and her friends. He and Pip both died when celebrities once tried to sue South Park then summoned up Mecha-Streisand. Mecha-Streisand stepped on John Vanson and Pip, splattering their blood around the lanes. Gruesome, really.

"Oh fuck it's this creep." Wendy's growl beneath her breath snapped me back to reality. "I can't believe he's a Dovahkiin."

"Yeah, I know, I hate him too," Stan added.

"He's a Dovahkiin?" Ray asked, confused.

"Literally who?" I like the snarkiness coming out of Isaac right now. It's a side of him I haven't witnessed in years.

"That's John Vanson, otherwise known as the biggest creep." Wendy shook her head. "I mean Isaac, you're not all bad, you just gotta keep your hormones in check, you know."

"Uh...thanks?" Isaac shot Wendy a confused expression. Yeah, I too am confused, did that just come out of Wendy's mouth?

"What's his story?" Ray asked.

Wendy rolled her eyes. "He tries to hit on me and my friends, talks about how nice our tits are and crap like that." Ah, this is coming back to me now. What Wendy is saying is more-or-less true. John Vanson thought that he was chill with the girls - truth is, the girls hate him for his perversion. Then again, the girls are pretty cruel, so I can feel some sympathy for John...if he were self-aware.

"Yeah, he also tries to follow us around and tries to hang out with us just to pick up on girls," Stan added. "He and the other kid both got stepped on by Mecha-Streisand. That's how he died."

"Is that why you hazed the crap out of him?" I could feel a smirk coming on my face right now.

"Uh, yeah, someone had to teach him a lesson," Stan replied.

I shrugged. We shouldn't be wasting time gossiping about and trashtalking a Dovahkiin behind his own back. We're all assholes right now. "Guys, I know you don't like him, but can't we at least pretend to be civil? This is kind of important."

Stan rolled his eyes then sighed. "Fine, I guess."

"If he lays a finger on my chest..." Wendy grumbled and shook her head.

"This will be interesting." Like usual, Ray's words have a snarky undertone in them.

As the five of us approached John and Pip, they both fell silent and turned the eyes on us, noting our approach. John stepped forward. "Stan! Wendy! Oh my God I can't believe you both are here!"

"I still hate you," Stan grumbled. Of course though, that meant nothing to John. Holy crap, John Vanson is completely oblivious to what others think of him. I feel bad for the guy to be honest. I would hate living my life only to find out it'd be one big lie...if he ever found out Stan and Wendy hate him.

Of course though, John threw his arms around Wendy for a hug, and I can't say Wendy saw that coming, for she yelped in surprise, and honestly, John Vanson is deceptively fast - although that might be a product of being dead. "John! Oh dear..." Pip put his hands over his mouth in horror.

Then I heard Ray whisper to me. "This is gonna be good, Cole." All I could do is roll my eyes in response. Good, my ass.

"Get..off...me!" Wendy tried to pull John off, but John just clung on.

Before Stan could do anything, John separated himself from Wendy. "S-s-sorry, uh..."

"Just tell us how to kill Terrorblade." Yes, thank you Isaac for asking the important question here! Holy crap, am I glad to have Isaac by my side right now. He seemed a bit impatient, but you know what, I can feel for Isaac, and if Isaac didn't interject right now, I don't think it's gonna be good.

"Yes, uh..." John blushed harder "...um, a little help Pip?" This is getting ridiculous. I'm not sure if John is here to help us or slow us down. I grumbled beneath my teeth.

Pip shook his head. "I don't know what to say, I don't know how to deal with Terrorblade."

"S-s-sorry, I just get really nervous around..." He gulped as he looked up at Wendy.

"Just tell us how to deal with Terrorblade you stupid moron!" Stan stomped his foot on the ground to emphasize his anger. "And lay off Wendy!"

Stan's threat left John unfazed. I don't know if I should be worried or impressed by John's reaction to Stan, or lack thereof. "Yes, um, who here is Dovahkiin? Is it you Wendy?"

Ray stepped forward. "No, it's me."

John's smile turned into a frown, and predictably, Ray frowned as well, not looking too happy. "Oh, well do you know why friendship is important?"

"I already talked with my friends about their trials, but I don't understand why I need to know this." Ray shook his head, calming down. "You're a Dovahkiin as well, aren't you?"

John sighed. "Yes, but I'm a failed Dovahkiin who got smashed to death by Mecha-Streisand." Gee, I wonder why. "I thought I was friends with everyone in my class, but when me and Pip went up against Mecha-Streisand, we were abandoned in our final hour, stomped out and left for dead. Obviously you have some personal quality of you making so many friends."

Ray shook his head. "Actually I don't have much friends to begin with. I mean, I didn't set out to make 3.2 billion friends on facebook, I'm assuming that's what you tried, right?" John nodded. "Well to be honest, I was thrown into this mess with these four, but we worked together to accomplish our problems."

John smiled. "At least you got somewhere. The thing about the Sol Lighthouse is that the trials are built around the abilities of Dovahkiin's friends." That makes sense, that was why all of us could take the Sol Lighthouse on. "It was really a test of teamwork, to get to know your friends."

"Thanks, I think I understand now." Ray nodded, turned to us, then turned back to John. "So how to we kill Terrorblade?"

"The thing about Terrorblade," John said, "and Magina already talked to me about this, but the thing about Terrorblade is that Terrorblade is like Breast Cancer." Fitting of John to use Breast Cancer as an example. "And you know Breast Cancer. It is a fat little lump that needs to be...destroyed." John's cheery face turned serious. "When there is a cancer, you have to 'fight' it. You can't reason with cancer, you can't wish it away. Cancer doesn't play by the rules, so neither can you."

"This..." Wendy rubbed her chin. "...this is exactly what Principal Victoria told me two days ago. Remember that fight with Cartman, guys? This is how she encouraged me to kick Cartman's ass."

"Cancer doesn't play by the rules..." those words echoed out my mouth. "If Terrorblade is like Breast Cancer, and it doesn't play by the rules, then Terrorblade has to be defeated by breaking the rules."

"Hey, didn't the Crab People tell us that some codes of honor were meant to be broken?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah, you're right," Stan said, "and Magina did tell us that Terrorblade broke every law in Hell...so how do we stop him?"

"It's exactly what I said," John replied. "Cancer doesn't play by the rules, and neither should you. Terrorblade doesn't play by the rules and neither should you. I'm sorry, but I don't know all the rules and codes. May I continue on though?" We all nodded. "You can't listen to what anybody else tells you. You have to be willing to give up everything, because Breast Cancer, and Terrorblade, will take everything. Do you understand?"

I shook my head. "I don't understand what rule we have to break." I really don't. This is confusing. We have to fight dirty against Terrorblade just like how a Breast Cancer patient would have to fight dirty against Breast Cancer. And what rules? Am I still in a game? Or is there supposed to be some Gentleman's Code that I haven't paid attention to or remembered?

John shook his head. "I'm sorry, that's all I can say." There was no point to badger him on. We're running out of time, and the nuclear war is closing in on us soon.

"Terrorblade is through this doorway down the hall." Pip pointed down a dark hallway. "You guys can leave your backpacks with us, you won't need it. But do keep your weapons though." That's actually a good idea. Without saying anything more, we dropped off our backpacks with John and Pip. "Good luck, folks."

The five of us nodded silently. "Thanks again." Ray sounded very depressed, likely not knowing what's going on.

After getting out of earshot from John and Pip, I sighed and turned to the rest of the group. "Ok, Stan, Wendy, you're right. John's a pain in the ass."

"See?" Stan replied. "I told you."

"Now you know," Wendy said.

"Yep," I replied.

The five of us walked down the hallway without saying a word until we reached the end of the hall, revealing a platform with a button pad on it. We looked up and about six stories above us was a hole revealing the Sovngarde sky. This platform is an elevator. Honestly, I'm scared now though. The world's counting on us, and this is a do or die moment, and we've seen what Terrorblade is capable of. And the Stick, he must have reforged the Stick to wield it under its full power. "Well this is it." Ray pressed the button and the five of us slowly ascended. "Before we fight Terrorblade, I just wanna tell you guys something." We all looked at him, ready to listen to Ray intently. "I've know I gave you four a hard time in the past, but I just want to know how much I appreciate you guys being with me."

"Hey what are friends for?" Stan asked.

Ray smiled. "True. Thank you all for standing with me until the very end."

As I looked up, the platform nearly ascended to the top - the outside. Well this is it. It is time for us to face the Terrorblade.

First off, John Vanson is not my OC, it is JVM-SP150's OC, so shoutout to him for letting me use his OC in my story.

Next off, since I'm closing this story up, I'm gonna start talking about some trivia and notes on developing this fanfic. References to Video Games - Just like how South Park: The Stick of Truth was inspired by and took elements from a few video games, my story also took elements from video games and other literature, some being more obvious while others are far more vague. From order from most obvious to least:

- Kenny is a Japanese Anime princess, but I bet you already knew this.

- ALL of the children of South Park inherit and use World of Warcraft powers. No Warcraft character shows up, however.

- ALL of the children of Middle Park inherit and use Lord of the Rings powers. No Lord of the Rings character shows up, however.

- ALL of the children of North Park inherit and use Harry Potter powers.

- The name of Chapter 13 and its premise.

- The terms "Dovahkiin", "Dragonborn", "Dragonshout", and "Sovngarde" actually originated from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Hall of Valor also came from Skyrim.

- Terrorblade, Harbinger (Outworld Devourer), and Magina (Anti-Mage) came from Dota 2.

- Chapter 19 is about vampires from the Twilight Saga.

- Sol Lighthouse is inspired by the four elemental lighthouses (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars) in Golden Sun. The main difference is that the Sol Lighthouse's intent is to create a portal to Sovngarde while the elemental lighthouses in Golden Sun are intended to do no such thing.

- "Light Lizards" in the Sol Lighthouse resemble Deathclaws, a monster from the Fallout franchise.

- Various characters' names are inspired by characters from other literature of the same name and appearance (chapters 14-17 being the best examples). However, most (if not all) of the characters' personalities are completely different than the literature from which they were taken from.

- When Wendy plants the C4 at the castle entrance in Sovngarde, and when Cole says "Terrorists win" when the bomb explodes, this is a reference to the Counter-Strike game mode Bomb Defusal, where the Terrorists have to plant a C4 bomb at one of two bombsites while the Counter-Terrorists have to defend the bombsites and/or diffuse the bomb should it be planted.

I'm sure there's more out there, but those are what I can think of on the top of my head.

Next, I'll talk about how I structured the timeline. Basically, it takes the South Park episodes out of order and reestablishes them into an order that would chronologically make sense in the real world. After finding out how PC Principal is staying after Season 19, this timeline will do its best to reflect that. Here is the general breakdown:

- Start of third grade. A few seeks in, Cartman Gets An Anal Probe happens.

- A few episodes here and there, then christmas episodes, then more episodes, then Summer Sucks.

- The episode 4th grade happens.

- Ms. Choksondik gets killed later in Professor Chaos (happens around early October).

- Halloween episodes, followed by thanksgiving episodes that happen in 4th grade.

- Raisins happens in December before winter break, then christmas episodes happen.

- Some more episodes happen, whatever order you will.

- Follow That Egg and The List happens mid-March.

- From there, the episodes go mostly in order (except Black Friday Episodes, Christmas episodes, and w/e which happen way earlier).

- Season 18 (last two episodes get omitted).

- Season 19/20.

- This fanfic (early-mid May).
