Chapter 10

Unknown location

            Paula was still trapped on the distant planet. She had been staying with the kind woman and her son. The son was very talkative, but his mother was not. She soon found out that his mother was unable to speak due to a rare medical condition.

            Paula was given food and shelter in return for helping out with chores. She had soon found out that their names were Claren and Mara. One night they had sat Paula down to tell the story of what happened to their planet.

            Long ago their planet had been once of peace. They had been a simplistic people. Only needing food, shelter and companionship in order to survive. Before their people had been a warring race. Fighting amongst each other violently.

            Thanks to people among the years they had learned to set aside their differences and get along with each other. The years of happiness were long and prosperous, but would soon end.

            One day a mysterious stranger had appeared. He ran to all the towns and cities telling the same story of doom. The people had regarded him as a crackpot and didn't pay any heed to his words.

            Days later a meteor fell to the planet bringing with it the armies of destruction. The army had brought nothing, but devastation with them. They raided the planet of its resources and turned the people into slaves.

            Only two hundred years later had they been released. However when the Army of Darkness left they gave the ultimate blow. With a last heave the darkness that had been secretly thriving deep within the planet had burst free destroying half the planet.

            The people that had been left behind swore revenge against the darkness and began to study the technology left behind. Centuries later they had finally discovered everything they needed to know.

            The people built a large spaceship to follow the darkness wherever it went. Some people stayed behind to try and revive the planet back to its former state. That was all the history of the planet as it was remembered.

            Paula said nothing about the Army of Giygas. She didn't want to bring back old horrors of the past.

Lost Underworld

            Ness walked around the Lost Underworld trying to think of a way to save it. Naturally to preserve the timeline he would have to wait until he froze himself. He walked around trying to find an answer. He needed to find a way to extinguish the flames.

            After walking around for a while Ness got tired. He sat down on a nearby mound to rest. The mound was somewhat warm and wet, but Ness needed to rest. Suddenly the ground beneath him began to rumble. Then before he knew it Ness was in the air.

            When he fell back to the ground he had his answer. If he could get more geysers placed around the Lost Underworld then they could act as fire extinguishers. But how was he going to do that?

            Suddenly he thought of the one man that had helped them out before. He gathered up speed to teleport to Winters. There he would see Jeff's father Dr. Andonuts!

Happy Happy Village

            The Master handed Carpainter a cup of hot tea. Carpainter took it in his shaking hands. He slowly sipped the tea as it was hot, but refreshing to his body.

            "Now what happened to you?" The Master asked.

            "I don't know. I didn't see anything happen. It was like somebody took over my body and made an exact copy." Carpainter replied.

            "What do you mean exact copy?"

            "Before I blacked out I saw someone that looks just like me." The Master tried to comprehend what was going on. Could it be that the Strangers were at work here too? If anything he needed to hurry.

            The darkness was more than likely consuming Poo faster than before. If Poo was to be saved the Master needed the Mani Mani Statue.

Where are the survivors that left the planet to pursue Giygas? Will Dr. Andounts be able to help Ness? And will the Master find the Mani Mani Staute? Find out in The Seed of Giygas Chapter 11!
