The Elders
Issue 8- The Dork Tower
The tower stood on a mountain, waiting for a hapless adventurer to find it. Even though it had been sucked into the Negative Zone, it still waited for one to seek its treasures. Those days, however, are over, since a motley assortment of idiotic refugees moved in. Now, it is called the Dork Tower by the other inhabitants of the Zone.
Yin and his companions rested in a cave underneath a mountain. They heard music and laughing coming from the top of the mountain. "Must be some kind of party." Said Karin. Yin nodded. "Maybe we should check it out if you're all feeling adventurous." The three old ones grumbled, but decided that they might find a way back up there.
They were close to the top, but Karin and Kai continued to complain. Complaints such as "Ow! My back!" or "Are we there yet?" Yin started to grow angry. "Would you two kindly SHUT UP?!" He shouted with such intensity that the mountain shook and they all nearly fell off. Luckily, Yin caught his friends and lifted them on top of the peak. "Don't ever make me do that again!" Karin and Kai turned red. Roshi looked up and saw a huge black tower with a sign that said 'Vacancies'. "Hmm. Looks like we can rest here." Thunder and lightning hit the tip of the tower, but the adventurers entered anyway. A red headed woman in a red robe came down a staircase toward them. Roshi's nose bled at the sight of her. She tripped, but Roshi caught her and tried to touch her rear. She grabbed him and threw him into a wall. "You old pervert!" She then saw Yin and jumped into his arms. "I'm Terri. I happen to find ape men very sexy." The warrior gorilla blushed "I'll give you and your friends the best room in this craphole for free. It's room 163." "Thanks lady!" Shouted Yin's companions as they hurried to the room.
Terri told Yin all she knew of the tower. It once had some significance on another planet, but then was sucked into the zone. It became the safe haven of those trapped in the Negative Zone. But, many of the refugees were so stupid and annoying that people began calling it the Dork Tower. She also told him that a madman named Fusor and his men wanted Terri herself and the tower for themselves.
"You see, baby. All of us here need your help if Fusor tries to attack. But first, come with me to my room." Terri jumped out of his arms and took him with her to her room.
In the room, Roshi relaxed in the hot tub with a martini while Karin and Kai watched cable. "I wonder where Yin is." Said Kai to Karin. "He probably went to that chick's bedroom."
An exhausted Yin entered Room 163. "Whoo! She wore me out!" He turned into a chimp and lay down on the bed. "She says these people need our protection from some guy named Fusor." There was a scream from across the hallway. The gorilla and his elderly companions ran to see what it was. A bald man in heavy armor and others who looked like cavemen stood in front of a shattered window.
Yin transformed to a gorilla. "You killed Terri!" The man laughed. "She was never any use to me, but this tower is. Oh, forgot to introduce myself. I am Lord Fusor, the greatest conqueror in this universe." The simian hero clenched his fist. "I don't care who you say you are, I cannot let you conquer this place!" Fusor grinned. "You will not have the chance. Men, kill them!" The soldiers drew their swords and axes. Yin roared loudly, making the soldiers kill each other. Fusor ran in horror. Karin chuckled triumphantly. "That was great! We never knew you could do that." "I'm starting to surprise myself lately." Replied the ape. He ran after the villain. The Elders followed him as quickly as possible, and with much pain in the knees.
The mad adventurer ran, sword drawn, beheading all who stood in his way. A group of knights surrounded him. "There is no escape, evil one!" Fusor rolled his eyes and sliced through twelve of them. The others ran away and bumped into Yin. Fusor smiled. "Come to kill me, eh?" Yin charged at him in pure rage and head-butted him through a wall, shattering his enemy's body armor.
He raised his foe up by the neck. "I've already killed one depraved lunatic today and I have no problem with killing another!" Fusor choked. "I may die, but my demise will have a terrible price for you. The maniac's eyes went up into his head, and his body went limp. Yin dropped him as a beam of energy came from the corpse. When the beam diminished, Yin turned into a gray-haired young man. "My powers! Their gone!"
