Chapter IV: Waking Ted

Luc got to the doorstep of his mentor's building, he opened the main door but turned to look icily at the other 107 who followed him.

"Look, Leknaat prefers her sleep and I mean prefers it!"

"Your telling me she actually sleeps?"

"Yes Tir she does" hissed Luc, now I'll check upstairs and if leknaat is still asleep than I'll direct you but for now: Wait outside, ok?"

Luc took the stairway to the height of the tower and opened the door quietly only to Leknaat sleeping soundly, it looked all well and so went down back stairs only as he went down did he hear…cheering and…fun. Two words that luc bitterly opposed as he dashed down the last few steps, tripping slightly and cursing, he ran to see the main hallway door open and saw that everyone had crashed in regardless of what he said earlier and were having fun and breaking stuff, HIS stuff as he ran down the hallway in road rage.

Inside everyone was settling down to the vast space of the hallway, the space was great, so great that Lotte with the aid of Tengaar and a few others convinced viki to teleport some items, dumpkin apples, treats of sweets and more dumpkin apples. Within a minute or two everyone were bustling with conversation and amusing activities.

"Hey Viki, I have to admit I'm impressed" Said the bear that was Victor, he looked as himself always, not bothering to wear a costume but was sure involved in the dumpkin side of things.

"Oh thanks, but is this enough?"

"Viki I couldn't had done better myself. But you have any idea where you get these items from?"

"Well erm…"

"Doesn't matter if you don't know" Reassured the bellied warrior I'm sure its from nowhere patricianly too concerning.

At Harmonia…

"NOOOO!!!" Screamed a voice angrily "I have endured through many things, seen and fought many horrors, but this…this is just…sick"

"Lord Sasarai what is it?" About five Harmonian temple guards bursted in, vowing to tear whatever it was that set off their lord's cry of dismay but saw before them a empty room with him in the centre.

"What do you think is wrong?" Snapped the blue robed priest general "My party decorations, their gone but most of all. So has my beloved prized cow collection sir?"

A stare from Sasarai made the guard who said it tremble back when he realised he just question the man who could break his balls and career with but a whim.

"Yes" He said angrily "My cow collection of all things is gone, find out whoever committed this deed and make them pay, NOW!"

With that the guards ran off, daring not to defy orders and to follow them, even if they didn't know where to sart and so decided to sit it out somewhere secretly while their lord was making prepartions for a day of national mourning over his beloved cow collection.

"So Lotte" Said Tengaar with a smile "You think your enjoying things at last?"

"Yeah I guess" She said while trying to keep her cats by her side in check "good thing though that viki was able to do all that teleport stuff."

"Yeah, but what's with the kammehhame thing?"

"Oh, ust thought I add some style by throwing in a few random words"

"………………."

"What?"

Their conversation broke hen a figure leapt in between them and by victor and Viki, hissing mockingly.

"HAHA! My fellow maids, love me for I am Neclord! ACK!" He said screaming at the end at being instantly ambushed by lethal unexpected blows.

"Tengarr, Victor stop!" Cried Lotte as within the second the two pounced on the stranger, one punching him to the ground while the other drew out the star dragon sword in a attempt to slay the beast. They heard lotte within a moment of slaying their foe only to realise what she meant as before them layed a xcrippled cloaked figure, with dirty blonde hair now bloody with his handsome face swollen with bruises with a plastic fang on the floor with the rest of his teeth.

"Sheena?!" Exclaimed Tengaar. "What are you, stupid?" Sheena just rolled on the ground ached in pain.

"God" Said Victor "I swear god gave a Popsicle more sense than you" Sheena couldn't really say anything but just wince at the bloody beating he received.

"well that went well" Muttered Lotte, suddenly luc bursted in and saw the hallway, filled with tapestry, history and art, now all shambles into a mess of a party.

"What part of 'wait outside' did you not understand? And look at this place! Who's going to clean this!"

"erm…" Tir felt a change of topic was needed. "So is Leknaat asleep than?"

"Thankfully for your fools, yes she is"

"But we need her to summon Ted!"

"Have you ever seen her angry?"

"…can't say that I have"

"And you don't ant to, not unless you want her to see the state of a mess you made here!"

"But it will take all night to clean! And I'm not going to wait that long!" Said Tir defiantly, ending the conversation in a blunt stalemate. Till luc spotted Viki. "…actually there may be a way….

An hour of hassling and everyone finally got to some form of order as they stood in the hallway all 108 with luc standing aside with Tir and reading out a book on summoning.

"…let's see, eye of newt, The 666, summoning Sadako, raising hylden, raising Yuber…ah here we are. The 108 under page…108. Well that's a surprise"

"Just get to he reading Luc, I can barely stand like this forever" Muttered victor who like everyone else was standing as they were in some line of order for over an hour and a half.

"Yes, yes, don't rush me here ok. With all stars in place, standing for over hour as required etc etc, should be at maximum chi energy to do the summoning. Direct all star power to the rune required to perform the deed. Humph this is easier than I thought it would be"

"Erm you sure you can do this luc, mean leknaat didn't need a book for this…"

"look Tir, I'm Leknaat's apprentice, I'm her number one pupil-"

"Don't you mean 'only' pupil?" Luc just glared at Victor to shut up which he did wisely.

"Trust me ok" Insisted Luc as he read into the book "To redirect energy you must summon a strong prayer which will require a ten minute intro…10 minutes and true rune required for breaking seal?!" Luc tossed the book away "To hell with this, wind rune, gather all spirit of the stars and gather it to the rune of Viki!" A strong swirling sound was heard and it was done.

"Erm luc, Viki doesn't have a true rune"

"Tir, I said I knew what I was doing, now viki's rune teleports things to existence so it really shouldn't be different from Leknaat's rune" Since Viki was all the way at the back, Luc yelled to get her attention. "VIKI!"

"EH? WHA? WHO'S THAT?"

"Its me dammit" Hissed Luc "The stars power is in your rune, use it now ans teleport back Ted!"

"…but isn't he…you know?"

"JUST DO IT!"

Viki commanded the power of her enhanced rune and in front of the stars did a strong glow, tens of feet high glow strongly, tir wept out a tear of joy.

"Its working, you did it Luc!"

"Naturally"

"Erm guys" Said Tengaar loudly "Don't get me wrong but wasn't ted somewhat…small?"

"Yeah so" Inquired luc

"Well, just the glow seems quite large for such a small person"

"Tengaar, Tengaar, the art of magic is always over highly dramatically, it will just fade to reveal te-" the flash ended and what stood before them was as high as the flash itself, a large dark creature with two spidery like arms. It had no legs only it was carried by its own monstrous arms and had a mouth, a large dagger like set of teeth embedded on its jaw as it stared at them with beedy eyes hungrily.

"Ok…" Said Luc looking somewhat as shocked as the others "..maybe it isn't so over dramatic after all2

"…Ted?" Said Tir hopefully

'ARRRAGGHHHH!!!' roared the monster showing its teeth at its most clearest.

"…not Ted" Said a convinced tir who like the rest ran into a panic.

AN: Some quotes: Raising Hylden is for those who play legacy of kain, just a evil race basically, 666devil and raising sadako...well no need to tell you that one is there heh.
