Chapter.2
The three after a night of over drinking and seemingly endless karaoke they were already resuming their quest. After an hour of walking in one direction. Lance: Hey, Christine you sure we're goin' in the right way we've been walkin' fer hours. Christine: Quit complaining! Lance: you'd better check the map. Christine: Okay, hmm, I know it's here somewhere (Searches through her dress pockets). !!! uh-oh! I asked Drake.to.hold.it. Lance: Man, I got a hang over I don't need this, Drake where's the map?! Drake: I wuz wanderin' when I wuld git sum linezs. Lance: Dammit Drake hit "spell check" Ya moron! Drake:.(spaced) Installing program, entering password, "C-h-o-p-p-s-u-e-e", Clicking F-7, "spell check"..Installed. (back 2 normal) Okiee Dokey. Lance: NEway where's the map? Drake: (In a Yoda voice) I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed, but remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed. ^_^ Lance: MAP YOU MORON! M-A-P, MAP YOU STUPID PURPLE CROSS DRESSER!
Drake: Ooh map why didn't you say so?
Lance: (Growl!)
Drake: I used it to make a paper hat.
Lance: BUT YOU HAVE A HAT ALREADY!
Drake: ya, I know so I gave it to Gaia he liked it a lot!
Lance and Christine's jaws drop
Lance: you.you.
Drake: No, I'm a "me, me"
Lance: You SHMUCK! (Yiddish for "dick", used as an insult) (Lance lifted his legendary sword high above his head, and jumps high into the air)
Drake looking up: What do you suppose he's doing Christine.Christine?
(The frightened elf was running for cover, as Drake just stood there staring skyward)
Lance Screaming as he descends: Diamond Blade Meteor!!!!!
PHHOOOOMM!!!!!!! BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lance landed behind Drake and sheathed his enormous sword. (For those who don't know the legendary sword is 5ft long, 2ft wide, 5 inches thick, and weighs over 200 pounds)
Drake: HA HA HA HA, you missed me you stupid elf!
Lance: (w/ an evil anime smile) Oh did I?
(at that moment all of Drake fell off except his hat & dark magician boxers)
Drake red as a ripe tomato: .Oh,.That's what I'm wearing. I could've sworn I wasn't wearing boxers today.
Lance: You don't get the message do you!?!? (Lance takes swing at the bright red magician)
CLANG!!!
Lance: WHAT?!
(A man stood in front of Lance, and had "parried" his strike)
Mysterious man: It's been a while hasn't it? (smiling)
Lance: Master?!(more like trainer)
Neo: Have you forgotten all your training? When addressing ones master one must always bow.
Lance: Oh, my bad(Lance bows).
Without hesitation the man kicks Lance sending him flying in to the air. He jumps after him, and kicks him back down to the Earth.
Mysterious man: And one must never take their eyes off their opponent. You fool, you're still as ignorant as you were a millennia ago. (Lance is about 1940)
Lance: (rubbing his head) Nice.to.see you too Neo. Drake laughed hysterically while Christine rushed to Lances aid.
Christine: Who do you think you are?! (Pointing to Neo) I'll show you to pick fights with out thinking!
Lance: This won't end well.
Christine held out both of her hands and began chanting
Christine: ?Shield and Sword!!)
Christine had performed her most powerful spell. And now surged with energy she out powered Neo by 1000 attack.
Status- Christine 2000atk/800def Neo 1000atk/1700def
Christine: You ready?
10 seconds later
Neo had his arms crossed and his foot on Christines stomach.
Neo: yup.
Christine: Checkmate!
Neo: What?!
Lance snuck up behind Neo and held his sword to his neck.
Lance: gatcha!
------------------------------There was a pause----------------------------- -----
Neo: Ha ha ha, Team work, that's a change Lance. Never though I'd see the day.
Lance lowering his sword: Never thought I'd live long enough to have to do it.
Neo: So, what are you doing out here?
Lance and Christine filled Neo in to what they were doing and what was going on. Naturally Neo just to make sure was reading their minds as they were talking, ya know just incase something got left out.
Neo: Uh-hu, so Lance you almost got some tongue action? You really have changed. (Half smile)
Lance: Dammit stop reading my mind you ass!
Christine was covering her face as she began to blush.
Neo: Hey, Christine don't take it the wrong way, you could do a lot worse.
Drake walked up to the three, with something in his hand.
Drake: Hey, Christine I think this stuff is talking to me. It told me that there is danger coming and we will be consumed be darkness.
Christine: Um, Drake two things: 1) First off there is no way that thing is talking to you. 2) I think that that thing is animal crap. (waving her hand back & forth "shooing" the smell.
Drake: EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROSS GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!
Drake shook his hand furiously trying to get the animal poop off of his hand.
Drake hysterically: AHHHH!! It won't come off! AHH!!!!! I can't feel my pinky!
After about five minutes of Drake trying to shake his hand free of the poop he opened his hand and it went flying right into Neo's face. Neo cleaned it off and looked to Christine.
Neo: Like I said.
The sky grew dark all of a sudden and a dense black fog swept across the land. And all stood in shock at what they saw. High above the land about 200ft floated the Castle of Dark Illusions.
Lance: This wasn't in the job description.
Christine: That must be the mysterious source of the dark fog.
Drake squinting his eyes: I can't see anything, what are you looking at?
Neo: Turn around Drake.
Drake turns around and sees the gigantic floating castle. Recognizing the castle, but not wanting to say anything he speaks the first thing that comes to his mind.
Drake: Damn, Christine's got a rack on her.
The others look at Drake and Christine with a puzzled look on her face. She turns to Lance.
Christine curiously: Lance, what "a rack"?
Lance:.(Scanning back and forth for sighs of danger)
Christine turning to Neo: Neo, what's "a rack"?
Neo: Your br--
Lance interrupting in a panicked tone: There in the distance!
All eyes were concentrated on the three dark silhouettes walking slowly for the fog that surrounded them. One stood about nine or ten feet tall with giant claws, bull like horns, and wings which were wrapped around the figure. The second was hunched over with spiked arms that stretched and drug on the ground, and a squared head, it was only about six nothing. And the third shone slightly via its metallic armor, its glowing red eyes illuminated the upper portion of its head revealing it pulsing brain. Lance, Drake, Christine, and Neo readied them selves for the worst as the three walked and stopped about fifteen feet in front of them. At that distance the three were visible. One-stepped forward.
Figure#3: Greetings travelers I am "Kinesis" master of machinery and technology.
Neo: You're a Jinzo!
Kinesis: Correct Neo the Magic swordsman.
Stepping forward figure two introduced itself.
Figure#2: I am the one known as "Necreon" (pronounced - Nek ree on)
Lance: A Hannibal Necromancer.
And the final monster simply spoke from where it stood. Figure#1: And I am the "nameless one".
Drake: Holy animal crap! It's a giant dead vampire cow!
N.O.: Wrong I am a Summoned Skull! You fool!
Kinesis: What is your business here? Have you come answering our paper ad?
Lance: This ad? (Lance pulls out a newspaper) Wow, that's you? You lost weight form when this picture was taken didn't you?
Kinesis: Yes, you know you're the first to notice.
(Lance and the Jinzo talked and everyone else had an anime style sweat drop on their heads).
Kinesis: so you've come in response to the ad.
Lance: Nope, we've come to stop you, destroy your castle, and take you back to our kingdom and publicly be-head you.
Kinesis: Oh, okay.Hey! We can't allow, that battle position Alpha.
Neo: Great word choice Lance.
The three monsters charged furiously.
Neo: We don't have time for this Spellbinding Circle!!!
A magic circle ensnared N.O. and the Necreon, but not Kinesis because he's "trap proof". (Jinzo's special effect- when Jinzo is on the field all trap effects are negated and traps can't be activated)
Kinesis: Analyzing spell.downloading counter measures.Loaded, EXECUTE. Trap Blasta'!!!
A powerful shock wave shot at Christine. But petrified with fear she couldn't move.
FFFFFZZZZZZKKKKKK!!!!
Christine was hit dead on and fell to the ground. Lance just noticing (way ta go Lance) ran to her side and carefully picked her up.
Lance: Christine?.Christine?!.
Neo: Aw shit last time something like this happened.
Lance set Christine down and rose to his feet. He targeted Kinesis and simply pointed at him.
Lance coldly: You BASTARD!!!!!
Kinesis: (Snicker) I you're next pritty boy.
Kinesis charged full speed at Lance who stood there motionless.
Lance: (.
Kinesis: Huh?!
Lance extended his right arm at the presise moment Kinesis struck and punctured his breast plate.
Kinesis:..D-D-Doesn't com-compute.
Lance: And now... (Lance ripped out the energy source from the cyborg's chest and crushed it in his hand)
Kinesis fell backward to the ground. Lance picked up Christine and yelled to Neo.
Lance: Neo get us out of here!
Neo: Alright!
Neo using his sword tore open a portal in time and space.
Neo: Get in quick!
Lance and Neo ran in followed by Drake who was making faces at the captured monsters.
------------------------At Neo's Place----------------------------
Lance set Christine down in Neo's room, sat and watched her. She wasn't breathing and she hadn't moved since Lance put her there.
Lance: .
Neo: You did all you could.
Lance: No, no I didn't. If I had then she'd be alive.
Neo: Would you rather you die? Would you rather she suffer after your lost life? Could you leave her in pain while the as the reaper held you? That's not the Lance I knew.
Lance: Things change Neo. I've changed in more ways than one, some more drastic than others.
Neo: .You've learned to care for another, to hold them close to you?
Lance: Almost learned.almost.
Without another word Neo left Lance to watch over Christine.
Lance: Christine, when we first met we were just children. I saw you for the first time when I knocked on the castle wall. And you answered. At that moment when I saw you the world stopped and everything except you and I disappeared. You said "Hello" and asked who I was. I shyly said "I'm Lance" and you smiled. I never knew what that feeling was until now. Hundreds of years later and yet, I never said anything. (Sigh) The way I felt then I couldn't tell you now, when you can't even hear me.
Lance shed one tear and laid down next to Christine and fell asleep. Neo stood out side the entrance to the door.
Neo: Some say it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Lance, I know your pain. But this is one battle that must be fought by yourself. I just hope the rage he feels doesn't awaken the other him, Saturos.
Next Chapter preview
Drake: Hey, Everyone's favorite magician here. Next time on.um what ever our story's titled bad news. Saturos the evil spirit in Lance awakens. Neo explains that Saturos is Lance's true form and when real pissed it takes over. Killing, murdering, and destroying anything in his path. Gee, I wonder how we're gonna stop him? Next time, on our story. Oh, and something strange happens the Christine too.
Que funky Japanese theme song: (not yet in japanese)
Can you feel life, movin' through your mind? Looks like you came back for more. Can you feel time, shiverin' down your spine? The things you just can't ignore. Bye, you can hardly swallow you fears and pain. Though my heart will always follow. Gonna send you right back where you came. Live and learn, hangin' on the edge of tomorrow. Live and learn, from the words of yesterday. Live and learn, you can help but feel sorrow. Live and learn you may never find your way. There's a place that you'll search for far and wide, there's a hope that you'll search for till you died, there's a love that you'll dream you'll never find. But hold on to "what if" hold on to "what if".
I you recognize it more powa' to ya!
