"What?
NO! It can't be!" Said Verath, alarmed, and jumping to his feet.
He grabbed DSD, while the others gathered around frantically. "How
do you know? How early?" He asked, in a frenzy, while shaking
DSD violently. She was on the verge of tears by now, but she managed
to hold them back, and told them the information.
"He said...
He said to me that he would do it now!" she managed to spit out,
before she collapsed, quite shocked by Verath's shaking. Verath let
go suddenly, and DSD hit the floor with a thud.
"This is
really really bad..." he said, his hands still in a position as
if he was still holding DSD. "Well, let's go then, damnit!"
said Xelkitti, already running to the door.
"No. There's no
need." said Xelfan12, looking calm, collected, and cool.
"Huh?
Stop joking, you idiot!" said Verath, angrily.
"Hey!
Shut up and listen!" snapped Xelfan12. "I planned for this.
I've set up a summoning circle around the perimeter of the entire
island. If we do this fast enough, we can probably get Dynast here
before he finishes the final preparations on his plan to channel the
power of Shabranigdo."
"Hmmm... that could work..."
said Saej, looking at Xelfan12.
"No. It won't." said
DSD. Everyone turned around and looked at her. Before someone could
say she was wrong, she began speaking again. "We may have enough
man power to summon a Mozaku of his level to this Island, but if
Dynast has already started the channeling, it's too late. He's
already established some sort of link with Shabranigdo, and we
haven't the power or space to house the transport. The attempt could
result in the destruction of Wolfpup Island and everything on it. We
have no chance of summoning him here now." Everyone stared at
DSD. Her once soft, blue eyes were now a hardened shade.
"I
guess... Uhhh... how?" asked Verath, which was basically saying
what everyone was thinking.
DSD just stood expressionless, and
said "When it is needed, my mind seems to remember when it still
had coherence..." She said this with a touch of sadness. But she
didn't have time to lament on her now gone sanity, before none other
than Beastmaster Zelas appeared in the room. There was now a touch of
anger in DSD's eyes, although it quickly passed.
"Zelas!"
said Xelkitti, as she and her fellow Mozaku bowed. Verath and Gaaz
just stood there, and Xelkitti and Xelfan12 suddenly remembered what
they were. "You..." said Xelkitti, as she slowly stood up.
"How could you just throw me and Xelfan12 away?" she said
angrily.
"Listen. As you probably know, now is not the time
for us to be fighting. We can deal with each other later. Now is the
time to attack Dynast. And while you're at it, you should go free
Shabranigdo, too." She said it so nonchalantly that it almost
shocked everyone.
'What?" asked Xelfan12, surprised to hear
this.
"It shouldn't be so surprising to you." said
Zelas, coldly. "It is after all, the Mozaku's duty to resurrect
Shabranigdo. And you, I believe, are a Mozaku." Xelfan12 stared
menacingly at Zelas for a moment.
"Fine" he said. "But
what you're asking is impossible."
"What? How dare you
talk to me that way!" said Zelas.
"Hey. Leave him
alone!" said Verath. "With Dynast channeling his power,
whatever we do to him will affect Shabranigdo! If we destroy Dynast,
then Shabranigdo's gone, too."
Zelas glared at him, and
slapped him across the face. "You of all people have the least
authority to speak to me. And don't you think I considered that? Have
you fools forgotten why Shabranigdo is allowing Dynast to gain access
to his powers? It's because Dynast promises to free him! If we
release Shabranigdo, he will no doubt destroy Dynast for using him
that way." Everyone stopped and thought about this. Yes, that
had been the reason, but for some reason, everyone doubted that it
would be that simple.
"So stop standing around! Get your asses
moving!" shouted Zelas, as she snapped her fingers, and the
party of five were gone. DSD quickly followed, and all of them
reappeared at Dynasts frozen palace. Xelkitti gave a shiver, not from
being cold, but because of the presence she felt. There was indeed a
great power surging through the castle. They walked on, Saej, Verath,
and Gaaz leading the way. Everyone could feel it now. DSD still had a
determined look on her face. For once, she looked scary.
"So...
how are we going to do this?" asked Verath, not to anyone in
particular. DSD was the first to answer.
"We don't stand a
chance if he's already begun to channel power. Even if we are only
going to free Shabranigdo, he will no doubt try to protect it. We
will need to call upon the Mother of all things as soon as possible,
aiming for whatever protection Dynast offers for Shabranigdo."
After she spoke, there was a long silence as the walked on. As they
approached the doors to the main hall, they heard moaning on the
other side. It was the moaning of many people, but it sounded eerily
melodic. They were all different pitches and voices, but they were
all in perfect unison, almost humming a horrible melody. The doors
creaked open slowly, the ice around it breaking. As the group of six
walked in, the moaning stopped, leaving an unnatural silence in the
air. It was dark. There was nothing to see, but the smell was
disgusting. It was a smell of rot, of mold, but also of birth. It was
like whatever was dying in the room was giving birth to new life, as
well. The ground was disgusting. Its texture was organic, and it made
a squishing noise as they stepped on it. Suddenly, two ruby eyes
flashed in the dark.
"Ahhhh... I knew you'd be back. My trap
was set, and you fell right into it." The voice was quite
obviously Dynast's, but it was conjoined with may others.
"What
are you talking about?" asked Xelkitti.
"Ahhh... but you
couldn't understand. I have not channeled strength after all. That is
the trap." Said Dynast, cryptically.
"Yeah right! Trap?
You'll just be easier to beat!" said Saej, drawing a sword,
although no one could see it.
"Oh. But that's where you are
wrong. You see, why just take power, when you can take everything?"
he said, reaching a conclusion.
"What? No...you didn't!"
said DSD, as everyone looked forward towards the Ruby eyes, as if it
would clear things up.
"But I did. I absorbed Shabranigdo!"
said Dynast, as his voice increased in volume.
"But you
can't do that! You couldn't hold it!' said Verath, alarmed.
"I
couldn't... But we could!" said Dynast, as the room illuminated.
Everyone looked around in horror. Where there should have been walls,
and floors, there weren't. Instead, there were the pale, disfigured
bodies of preps and salesmen. They looked at the source of the red
eyes. It was a pillar of bodies, and on the top, clearly defined, was
Dynast's. "With the increased astral body this gives me, I
absorbed Shabranigdo! Hahaha!" as he laughed, his jaw began to
rot away, but grew back just as soon. It was quite evident that even
in this state, he could not hold the power.
"You sick
bastard! Who would fuse preps to their body? We'll kill you!"
shouted Xelkitti, brandishing her death scissors.
"No...
You will die before even facing me!" said Dynast, as the preps
beneath them gave way, and they tumbled into a dark, dank room
beneath the floor. In the room were thousands of white, glowing eyes.
'have fun with my new creations..." said Dynast.
Note: The things are spoiler. It's another mindless slaughter. Sorry this part wasn't that well written. It downright sucked. I can't concentrate with my idiot brother playing Mario 64 at full fucking volume. All day. God that sucked! I hate that game! It's so retarded. Oh well. Expect better from my next entry.
