Chapter 6
-The Journey Finally Begins
Note: There will be an alternate version of this chapter soon! It was done by Dino2 and Bunn Lord.
-Leo Plains
Rene, Rai, Juno, Lupus, Dino2, H.K., Bunny Lord, and Scuzzball were walking through the seemingly endless Leo Plains. The emerald-green grass streched out like an ocean. There was no sign of a town or anything. The group had travelled for a good four hours. Scuzzball then looked at H.K.
"This blows." Scuzzball started, "I haven't seen a village, a cape, not even a friggin' monster! All I see is grass! GRASS!"
Rai sighed, "Yeah Sherlock, that's grass. It grows, oh, this is out of the ordinary, EVERYWHERE!"
H.K. looked down at the grass, "Vela said she was getting the ship. Dunno what that's going to do, but who knows?"
Lupus' ears perked up, "I hear something."
Juno looked at Lupus, he was still in his cracked-beyond-repair-armor. Vela decided to give him the Machine Gun before she left, "What do you hear?"
Lupus concentrated, "I never noticed it before!"
Dino2 then looked at the canine, "What is it?"
Lupus then smiled, "My ears can pick up radio stations!" He then sung Sugar Ray softly to himself.
H.K. then looked at Lupus, "THAT'S ALL?!"
Lupus was flung out of his stupor, "Oh, I also hear some people North of here."
Rene looked at Bunny Lord, "Even if we find a village, we won't be able to do anything."
"Why?", Bunny Lord said.
"No Hetra." Rene said.
"Crap. I knew I forgot something." Rai said.
"What's Hetra?" Lupus said.
Bunny Lord looked at Lupus, "That's the money here. They are rectangular gems that are different colors. The value depends on the color."
"Oh.", Lupus said. Just then, four eyeballs with wings swooped down opon the party. Everyone immediately got their weapons out.
"WHAT ARE THOSE?" Juno said, tring to get a shot on one of the creatures.
H.K. chopped one in two with his broadsword, splattering its remains on the grass, "Specs. A weak, floating creature that dwells in the Leo Plains. Not a big threat." The Hamster then put his 'Book of Rishkan Monsters' back under his armor.
"That's good to hear!" Said Lupus as she dispached the last Spec with his Pistol. Four green gems fell onto the ground where the monsters were.
"This is Hetra?" Lupus said, picking up one of the rectangular gems from where a monster once stood.
Bunny Lord examined the stone, "Yep. It's Hetra. This one's green, and it's the cheapest. It's only worth five."
"Darn.", said Lupus.
H.K. looked ahead at the town, "Hey! That's Nioko, it doesn't cost that much to stay there. Let's kill a couple more monsters, get the Hetra, and go there."
"How much?" Rai said.
"And how are we going to carry it all?" Rene asked H.K.
H.K. smiled, "With my little friend." H.K. took out the Plot Hole and pulled out a file cabinet. He took the Hetra they all just retreived and flung it into the cabinet. "There, all done. You can put anything in my cabinet. If you need to, you can just summon the cabinet with these.", H.K. reached far back into the Plot Hole and took out several remotes. "Just push the red button to summon it, push the green button to send it away." H.K. then gave the remotes to each of the heroes.
Bunny Lord looked ahead, "Wait. We shouldn't go to that town."
"Why?" Dino2 asked.
"Black Wolves are there. We're gonna get smashed if we go there now."
Rai cursed, "Damn! We gotta keep going then."
The heroes then continued walking through the plains. Cape Foehn was in the distance.
-Meanwhile (The Void)
A spirit was watching the heroes as they were headed toward Cape Foehn, and the Tiger Eye. He opened a rift to the False Hamsterite King, Nio.
"Nio." The spirit said.
"Yes, Inkazaro." Nio said.
"Alright Gerbil Lord, I got a job for you."
"Yes, sir."
"Split the entire Hamsterite Mana Elite into three groups. One will go to Cape Foehn, one will attack Bastet Castle and the other will attack the Land of the Bunnites, Raas. Don't take the Grandia, take the Scourge with you. I'll charge it so it may harm Hekon." Inkazaro said.
"Yes sir! But what will I say to the citizens? The Bunnites and the Scuzzonians are arries with this land!" Gerbil Lord said.
"Hm. Tell them that Kazo is planning to invade the kingdom and that the Bunny Lord was to destroy the kingdom. Anyway, after wounding them, shove the sword into the ground. I'll handle the rest."
"What are you going to do sir?"
"They have strength in numbers. I'll scatter them to the ends of Rishka!"
"Very good Inkazaro! Anything else I can do for you?"
"Yes. We need to find the Tiger Eye, Staff Of Infinity, Grandia, The Lance of Dreamers, Kyrio, Arcana, Sacred Rays, Moon Star Knuckles, Aura Mace, Retribution, Zodiac Blade, and the Shatterstorm Darts. I informed the other areas, you shall find the Grandia and the Tiger Eye."
"Are these the Legendary weapons?"
"Yes. Now keep the Grandia for now. Get me that Tiger Eye!" Inkazaro then closed the rift.
-At the Cape
H.K. and the others were at the beginning of a hill that looms over the Ocean, which H.K. said was the Tenku Sea. The gray, rocky cape was a good hundered feet above the sea.
"Wait a minute.", said Scuzzball, "Where's Rai and Bunny Lord?"
"They'll catch up. C'mon, let's get the Tiger Eye. It's just up ahead." They then entered Cape Foehn.
-Leo Plains
Rai and Bunny Lord were creating a bloodfest with Specs, wolf-like creatures called K-9's, and stocky demi-humans known as Goblins. Bunny Lord flung his axe at a Goblin, splitting it's head in two, and then lunged toward a Spec and kicked it so hard that it shattered! He then snagged his axe and chopped into a K-9. Rai was knocking everything in sight for a loop. He punched through a Spec, Axe Kicked a Goblin and tore into a K-9. After their little skirmish, if you looked at the plains from the sky, you would find what looked like a red puddle. Rai and Bunny Lord then gathered around 5,000 Hetra. They flung it into the cabinet.
"Whoa. That was fun!" Rai said.
"I never felt so great in my life!", Bunny Lord exclaimed, then he saw something. Soldiers in gold full plate armor, etched with runes, and with a core in each part of their armors, were coming this way. They each had menacing, obsidian swords.
"It's the Hamsterite Mana Elite! They have defeated the imposter and are here to help H.K.!" Bunny Lord said.
"Look King Nio! The Traitors!" One of the soldiers said.
Nio appeared from the back ranks, holding a green sword with runes etched on it. Green bolts of lightning were swirling around it.
"It is them! Hekon must not be far ahead!" Nio said.
"Wait a minute!" Rai said, "What's going on?! Why are we traitors?"
A soldier spoke up, "Your lands tried to conquer our lands! Have you no honor?", another soldier spoke, "Our troops are attacking Aionoshidi in Raas and Bastet Castle here in Kali!"
"Bastards!" Rai said.
Nio laughed, "Take them hostage! We can use them."
Rai and Bunny Lord knew they had no other choice, so they surrendered.
-Cape Foehn
H.K. stopped when he reached the tip of the peak, a sword was sticking in a natural boulder of diamond. The sword had a grip with rings for each finger to increase the power of the strike. It was also hooded to protect the hands. A Damuscus guard with gems in it divided the menacing silver blade that had a almost heavenly aura around it. The guard came up to form two small spikes, one on each side of the sword. However, there was a hollow at the end of the hilt. H.K. didn't care. Scuzzball was in awe. He couldn't belive that his ancestor once wielded such a magnificent weapon.
Scuzzball's mouth went dry, "I'm.....allowed to use that?"
H.K. nodded, "Lupus, Rene, you stay here. The rest of you, guard the place."
The heroes nodded and left H.K., Scuzzball, Lupus, and Rene before the Tiger Eye.
Scuzzball sighed as he approached the sword, he had a forboding feeling that something was going to happen. He approached the sword and slid his hand into the grip. He then heard a voice echo in his head.
'Hello, my child. Don't be scared. I am Tohonio. You must protect this beautiful land of Kali. You know what you must do to retrieve my sword.'
Scuzzball nodded. He took a deep breath.
"I am Lano
I am the one
My mission is clear
With the sword of the sun
With every evil I slay
I bring hope to Kali
And come the next day
Peace will finally come!"
With that, the diamond vanished, and the Tiger Eye was in Scuzzball's possession.
"You made a big mistake."
The Heroes looked around to find the Gerbil Lord (a.k.a. Nio) and the Hamsterite Mana Elite holding Bunny Lord, Rai, Juno, and Dino2 hostage.
"YOU!" H.K. said. He leaped toward G.L., the Gerbilite slashed H.K., who went down with ease, he slammed up against the rock wall and slid down. His hand went to his broadsword but he was then knocked down by an energy blast from a soldier.
"Now then." G.L. said, "Give me the Tiger Eye."
Scuzzball and the others looked in shock, G.L. just beat H.K.! Scuzzball knew he had the power, but he didn't want more to share H.K.'s fate.
"I have no choice do I?", Lano said.
"No." G.L. said coldly.
Lano sighed, what other choice did he have? He was surrounded by soldiers. He handed the Tiger Eye to G.L..
"Now give me my friends." Scuzzball said.
G.L. looked like he was tring to hear something, "New orders, kill them all!"
The soldiers walked toward the heroes. It looked as all hope was lost. Just then they heard a sound that sounded like an engine. Juno looked up to see his ship flying toward the battle scene. A basket was hanging under the ship.
"It's Vela!" Juno said.
"Calm down." Bunny Lord said. "One, we are in a deathgrip right now. Two, she's pretty far. It's gonna take awhile until she comes here."
Lupus couldn't take it. He wriggled free of the grip and tackled the Gerbil Lord. The Tiger Eye flew out of his grip. Scuzzball grabbed it.
The Gerbil Lord was tring to keep Lupus' somewhat primal rage from killing him, "SOMEBODY GET THIS DAMNED LUPE OFF ME!!!!!!!!!"
Lupus stopped for a second, "A Lupe? What's a Lupe?" Lupus was knocked aside by Gerbil Lord, he then shoved his sword into the earth. A low rumble was heard.
Bunny Lord and the others broke free of the grip and started fighting madly. Dino2 went over to H.K.
"Are you okay?" Dino2 said.
"Bunnies...hopping all around........" H.K. said in a drunken tone.
The sword started to glow brightly green veins appeared in the earth. Everybody stopped fighting. The heroes tried to run, but they couldn't move! They felt as though they were floating. H.K. looked down to see that they were indeed airborne.
G.L. laughed with delight, "I don't know what Inkazaro's gonna do to you, but it's gonna be great!" G.L. then fled the cape, Tiger Eye in hand. The Heroes then started to separate from each other.
H.K. looked at Bunny Lord, "Bunny Lord?"
"Y-yeah?" Bunny Lord said.
"If I die, you can have the Plot Hole." H.K. said.
"Thanks." Bunny Lord said.
The heroes then shot off into different regions of Rishka......
.....thus the true quest began.
