Atlas gave his army a pep talk before getting ready for their first mission. It was the first time for them doing something like this. Soon after, Atlas used his telekinesis to destroy the warehouse, controlling it using his hands. He sure had a knack for demolishing buildings.

"Well, that's the second building I've destroyed today. A personal new record!" Atlas said, proud of himself.

"What was the first?" Argon asked.

"A laboratory that was a long way from here. I even murdered one of the scientists there, well, I really just took his soul, which killed him." Atlas said.

"Are we able to do that as well?" Jade asked.

"Yes, of course! You just have to concentrate really hard." Atlas said.

An unnamed spirit sniffed around. "Um, master, it smells funny in here." He said.

"That's just the debris. Anyway, what are we doing standing around? Let's wreak havoc!" Atlas announced while raising his hands in the air.

Atlas' army chanted vigorously.

"Let's go, my children. I will lead you." Atlas said.

At that moment, Atlas and his army left the warehouse and floated weightlessly down the street. They were in the middle of nowhere, mind you. They started to destroy random buildings, houses, vehicles, etc. with their telekinesis. Each time Atlas obliterated something, he absorbed more energy, making him stronger.

Atlas had his eye on a restaurant that stood in the distance. "Hmmm…let's visit that restaurant over there. It looks like it needs a makeover." He said.

Atlas and the army approached the restaurant and shifted through the entrance. The owner of the establishment, as well as the customers, turned around and let out blood-curling screams, totally horrified.

"Please, do not be alarmed, citizens! We're just here to renovate!" Atlas announced. He was kind of teasing.

"GET OUT THE HELL OUT OF MY RESTAURANT, YOU MONSTER!" the owner shouted. He proceeded to throw a ketchup bottle at Atlas, but it just passed right through him. "Huh?" the owner asked, confused.

"Is that all you got?" Atlas asked with a mocking grin.

Argon leaned over to Jade and whispered "Is he stalling?" "I don't think so." Jade whispered back.

Atlas used his telekinesis to grab the restaurant owner and put him a chokehold. He was choking him even harder than he did John Zellweger.

Atlas laughed. "You weak-minded simpleton. Let it be known that what I'm doing to you is just a taste of what I can do. You have no idea what I'm capable of." He said.

The restaurant owner attempted to break free, but couldn't. "What…are…you…?" he asked, albeit hoarsely.

"My name is Atlas, and those spirits behind me are my children. Together, we'll end all human life and other animals that go along with it. Only spirits will live on this godforsaken planet." Atlas said.

"You're…crazy." The restaurant owner coughed, giving a smile in disbelief.

"No, what's crazy is the fact that your customers haven't left the restaurant yet." Atlas said.

"Do you want us to take care of them, my lord?" Argon asked.

"After I'm done with the owner, Argon." Atlas said. He then used his mind to mutilate the restaurant owner, with blood and guts spewing out of him.

The customers turned away in disgust. Some were gagging, and a few of them vomited.

Atlas dropped the owner's body on the ground. He was nothing more than a skeleton now, like something you'd see in a horror movie.

"With all due respect, master, that was pretty disgusting." Jade said, a little uneasy.

"I know." Atlas simply said, smiling. "Now, my children, let's take of these customers!" he added.

At that moment, Atlas and his army sucked the souls out of the people in the restaurant and absorbed them, giving them more energy, thus making them stronger. After they were done, they left the diner and cackled evilly.


In a local park that stood in the middle of Burbank, lived former Animaniacs stars Slappy Squirrel and her nephew Skippy. They were residing in their tree watching cartoons, although Skippy was paying attention to the screen a lot more than his aunt.

"You ever wonder what the problem is with cartoons nowadays, Skippy?" Slappy asked.

"Uh, I don't think so." Skippy said, not fully understanding the question.

"They're too watered down. It seems like everything being made only panders towards kids rather than both kids and adults. Heck, back in my day, adults were the target demographic when it came to animation, not children." Slappy said.

"There's plenty of adult cartoons being made now, Aunt Slappy. Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, and Robot Chicken are ones that come to mind. There's probably more, I just can't think of any off the top of my head." Skippy said.

"True, but those shows suck. The one we're watchin' right now is pretty good, although the jokes could be funnier." Slappy said.

Skippy laughed at a character accidentally getting hit on the head with a grapefruit.

"Now that's the kinda humor I love right there!" Slappy said with delight.

Meanwhile, a few feet away, the Goodfeathers Bobby, Pesto, and Squit flew in and perched on a tree branch, absorbing the fresh air.

"Aye, the air's really thick today, which is just a great thing." Bobby said.

"You said it, pal." Pesto said, agreeing.

"At least the air's not thin, if you know what I mean." Squit said.

"We know what you mean, buddy." Bobby said.

In the distance, the Goodfeathers saw an old lady sit down on the park bench and take out a brown paper bag filled with breadcrumbs, piquing the pigeons' interests.

"Hey, that old lady over there is servin' breadcrumbs!" Pesto said excitedly.

"Must be our lucky day!" Squit said with a cheeky grin.

"Bada-bing! Let's indulge and our mouths will water no longer." Bobby said.

At that moment, the Goodfeathers flew to the old lady and perched on the ground. They stared at her innocently.

"Oh my, you pigeons must be hungry. Good thing I brought breadcrumbs for you to snack on!" the old lady said. She grabbed a handful of crumbs and tossed them on the ground, in which the Goodfeathers started to chow down on.

Back at their tree, Slappy and Skippy were dying of laughter at the show they were watching. When the episode was over and the credits rolled, the two squirrels wiped tears from their eyes because what they were seeing on screen was hilarious to them.

"Oh man! I haven't laughed at a show this hard since the golden age of animation!" Slappy said, catching her breath.

"You said it, Aunt Slappy!" Skippy said, still giggling.

Approaching the park entrance, Atlas used his telekinesis to forcefully open the fence door and crush the fence itself. Then, he and his army began entering the park, which was pretty big by the way.

"Hopefully our presence will frighten all of these cowardly human beings." Atlas said.

"Humans are born cowards." Argon remarked snidely.

"Indeed. They're nothing but fools." Jade added.

When the spirits made themselves visible to the public, everyone screamed with horror and started running amuck.

Atlas was nothing but satisfied. "That's right, humans! Flee with terror! May our presence frighten the living daylights out of you!" he yelled, cackling like a witch.

At that moment, Atlas and his army began destroying buildings, trees, vehicles, anything that was useless to them.

Hearing screaming from inside, Slappy and Skippy gave other concerned glances.

"What's everybody screamin' about?" Slappy asked.

"I don't know. Let's go outside and check." Skippy said.

Slappy and Skippy opened the door and peaked their heads through the front door. They gasped when they saw the spirits wreaking havoc in the park.

"What are those things, Aunt Slappy?!" Skippy asked, horrified.

"I don't know, but they sure are freaky lookin'!" Slappy said with wide eyes.

After the Goodfeathers got done eating, they turned around and flew back to the branch, wondering what the commotion was about.

"Why are people runnin' around all over the place like that?" Bobby asked.

"I have no idea. Must be some sorta new holiday." Pesto said.

Squit took a closer look. He gasped. "Look, guys!" he said, pointing his wing.

Bobby and Pesto also took a closer look and yelped. "Ah! Look at the size of those things!" Bobby said, terrified. "No kiddin'!" Pesto said with a break in his voice.

"We gotta get outta here!" Squit said helplessly.

The Goodfeathers wasted no time flying away. They didn't care where they were going just as long as it was in the opposite direction and away from the spirits.

Slappy slammed the door shut as she and her nephew sat back down on their rocking chairs. It seemed a nightmare for them.

"We gotta get out of here, Aunt Slappy!" Skippy said, shaking.

"And go where? We're stayin' right here in our tree, my little nephew. The door is locked up tightly. Those ghosts or demons or whatever they are can't get us." Slappy said.

"I wish I had as much bravery and confidence as you." Skippy said.

"You'll get there soon enough." Slappy said.

At that moment, Atlas and his army began taking the souls of the innocent civilians in the park, leaving their bodies discolored and causing them to die.

"How do you feel, my children?" Atlas asked.

"I can't exactly describe it, master, but I feel as if I gained 6 times the amount of energy I had before." Argon said.

"I am the same way." Jade said.

"Good! You're supposed to feel that way, it gives you more power." Atlas said. He then used his mind to turn the civiilians' bodies into ash and watched them fade away into nothing.

"Come, my children! We must be on our away." Atlas said.

The spirits carried themselves the other way, leaving the park and pretty much everything else that was there in ruins.


Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've had my hands full with school and other things that got in the way. But with that being said, I hope you enjoy the chapter. :)
