Robed figure1: Now you have no hope, your writer is gone
Robed figure2: You may never see him again.
Robed figure3: The story will end without an ending.
Robed figure1: And despair will engulf you.
Robed figure2: All you can do now is give us control of the story.
Robed figure3: And give us red wine.
Robed figure2: I'm not trusting you with wine since you tried to take me and my brother.
Robed figure1: And what about you? That stupid monkey was too strong!
Robed figure2: You're just weak!
T.D.: Hey you guys, what's with the robes?
Robed figure3: Busted!
Robed figure1: Run!
T.D.: What was that all about?
Cheetoh: Have you seen Kiaba?
J.G.: Or Joey?
Kirbygurl: Or Peggy?
T.D.: Haven't seen them since the last chapter.
Cheetoh: Well, at least I still have my plotting against Karen to take my mind off things.
J.G.: And I can go back to finding penguins.
Theis: And I can go on blaming T.D. for the lab mistakes.
T.D.: Quite you.
Theis: Indium you said, it was sodium!!
T.D.: At least that didn't show up on todays lab...
Theis: It was lauric acid, how do you get indium out of that?
T.D.: You've got a point there, but tell that to the S-man.
J.G.: Maybe he should stop giving you guys dangerous chemicals...
T.D.: Oh come on, we're harmless, or at least until you give me fire...
Brandon: ...Fire....
...Burn...
...Tree...
...Pretty...
T.D.: We didn't call you.
Brandon: Oh, right...
T.D.: Anyway...on with the chapter, hopefully without any hazardous explosions...
Many weeks had passed and the palace loomed before them. The journey had been long and hard since the pharaoh had been tipped off about the dark sorcerers uprising. In the fights along the way, Crawford had become close to his new favorite, the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"Sir, shall we set camp for the coming day?"
"Yes, we'll need to approach the city soon after nightfall."
He had been learning many of the dark arts and in turn had been teaching them about the dice magic. He'd also shown that summoning from the dice took less energy, but by leaving the monsters in the shadow realm, they could be trained.
"Alright men, pitch camp!"
The area was in a grove of trees near a stream branching off the Nile.
"Sir, of you don't mind, we'd like to summon a monster for its meat."
"You do that?" Crawford said with a bit of confusion.
"Yes sir. We've domesticated monsters like Boar Soldier, much like we would a normal pig."
"Good then, summon it for roasting."
"Anything."
"Four weeks and you still can't drop that."
"We are in your debt sir, for leading us here."
"And stop with that sir thing too, you're not slaves."
"Any...Yes si... right."
"Work on that."
The next night would be a rush of activity. They would infiltrate the palace, find the pharaoh, and try to fight him. Since being warned about their coming, he'd been training and so would prove hard to beat.
"Sir..."
"I said drop the 'sir', just call me by my name."
"Master Pegasus, there's been a breach of security."
"I am well aware of this, the pig has escaped."
"Yes sir, how did you know?"
"It's right over there."
As soon as the sorcerer saw it, he gave the command to capture it.
"You know," he said offhandedly, "I need a name to call you by."
"I am known as the one of..."
"Of the spirits, I know, but you must have had a name at some point."
"Well, there was a time I had a different name, I was known as Tamashi."
"A fine name. Very well then Tamashi, cook that pig, I grow hungry."
"Right away sir."
Crawford just decided to let that one pass. He had made a breakthrough, now it didn't seem like they were master and slave. The only difficult task now was how to infiltrate the palace.
"Sorry for the intrusion, but there is another problem."
"What is it now?"
"We can't light the fire," he said, a little embarrassed.
"Then use your magic to light the fire, it's not like it's hard. Now if you mind, I need to get back to work on deciding what to use in the fight tomorrow."
"Very well."
The challenge would be great, but he already had a plan. He would make it appear that he was weak and then in his moment of weakness, he would summon the Blue Eyes. If problems arose, two more awaited him.
"Sir, there's been an arrival, a messenger."
"What's the message?"
"I'll speak," came the voice of the messenger. "You are in violation of the rules you agreed to when you entered this service. I must now revoke your Doppelganger."
"What? I've been in the lines."
"That is precisely the problem, you brought criminals into the city lines."
"Take it then and tell the pharaoh that he's making a grave mistake."
Tamashi spoke again after the messenger was out of earshot. "Do you think that was wise sir?"
"If the pharaoh is like any normal person, one day is not enough to prepare for something like this."
"Very well sir, I'll trust your judgment."
"Now leave me so I may prepare."
"Yes sir."
'One night may not be enough for a normal person, but the pharaoh's different. If he really is willing to work at it, it may be worth it after all.'
All: *Yawn*
T.D.: Okay, so it's a snooze chapter, but hey, the rest should be more exciting.
Cheetoh: That's what you said last time.
J.G.: And the time before that.
Theis: And the last chapter in chemistry.
Karen: And the last chapter in algebra...oh, wait, it was.
T.D.: All right, all right, I get the point *Ouch*
Kirbygurl: Just have Pegasus win.
T.D.: I might or I might not, I'm still deciding the story line.
All: *Groan*
T.D.: Okay, I had ideas in the beginning and now some of them won't work.
Robed figure3: Just post soon so I can be done with this silly story...
