Personality Split 2021

by Marc C

This story is set 5 years after the finale of Land of the Lost, and 5 years before the events of Exodus, another LOTL fan fic. In this story, we learn a little more about the parallel universe Marshalls from the episode Split Personality, and their over the top nemesis, the Black Sleestak. NOTE: In 2021, I rewrote the story, changing the beginning, & solving another LOTL mystery.

13. Chapter 12

Part III

Chapter 12

It was an ordinary morning in the Beige Universe's Land of the Lost. The sun was rising and three pterodactyls shrieked as they flew across the horizon. The sound of their cackle woke Will up for yet another day in this strange world. Jack arose next, followed shortly thereafter by Holly and Chaka.

"So…what's on the agenda for today?" Jack asked, rubbing his hands together.

"How about we go exploring some of the caves north of the river?" Will suggested.

"I hate that place," said Holly. But the family had not yet completely charted that territory, and unexplored areas meant potential chances to get home, which of course always interested Holly. Will gave her a look that playfully suggested that she not complain, but smiled when she quickly added, "But who knows? Maybe we'll find something interesting."

"You never know," Jack said.

"Yeah, when have we ever not found something interesting in this place?" Will added.

"Chaka want food," the Paku said.

Jack chuckled. "Ok my friend. We'll eat breakfast first." With that comment, the Marshalls shared a laugh and prepared their meal.

Meanwhile, in the Lost City, the Sleestak leader was in the Library of Skulls. "Skull of Prophecy, the Marshalls still occupy the Sleestak sacred temple. Is there any way we can rid ourselves of them? It has been five years. Tell us what is in store for the future of the Sleestak."

The skull's eyes glowed a shade of red and began to speak as smoke rose up around the Sleestak leader. "Soon the Sleestak will receive a visitor from another universe. Like the Altrusian called Enik, with whom he shares a name, he is from the past and of Altrusian descent. He will have a plan to destroy the Marshalls once and for all."

The Sleestak leader spread the word to his subordinates, and the waiting began.

In the Black Universe, Enik was finally finishing his revenge plot on the Beige Universe's Marshalls. "Finally, those annoying humans will pay for what they did to me—with their lives," he said aloud. Enik continued his monologue while he worked. "It may have taken me five years, but soon, I will have my revenge.

I was so brilliant before. I had the humans right where I wanted them. But their blasted counterparts dared interfere. I hold them all responsible for the destruction of my time doorway chamber. They will get what they deserve for that interference. These humans are no match for my Altrusian intellect, and at long last, my modifications to S'Latch's primitive machine are complete. My transuniversal chamber will enable me to assume solid form in the other universe. I will be able to move about freely there for twelve hours. Vengeance will finally be mine." Enik stepped into his machine, set the controls for the Beige Universe's Lost City, and vanished.
