Soul Reaver 2 - Chapter 5: Another of the Elder's speeches, a
trip to a light forge.

Disclaimer: I don't nothin' that occurs in this fiction.

Me: I am proud to present another chapter of one of best parodies yet, I have also decided on writing a small fiction that has a theory to Defiance. Now on with the fiction.

************************************************************** *************************

(We see Raziel stumbling back to the subterranean area, still having a hangover from the previous drunken stupor. He makes his way back in the Pillar/Murals/Elder God chamber.)

Elder: Ah, my wayward child returns.

Raziel: *Aching from hangover* Having unearthed more than you'd like, I think. What am I to make of these pretty pictures which litter the land, which depict blue birdie people?

Elder: Merely the graffiti of a failed civilization. You are being misled, Raziel. You must tread carefully, wear protective footwear. There are evil thingies bent on subverting your true destiny.

Raziel: I didn't really have much doubt of that. The question is: how the hell can I talk with no bottom jaw, nor a tongue?

Elder: Your stupidity will spell your demise, Raziel. Deny my will, and the thing of your destiny will reach a sudden conclusion.

Raziel: Oh, I'm so scared.Even now, I'm beyond your reach.

(The elder tries to reach of the water to strangle Raziel, but is unable.)

Elder: Dammit! My reach is longer than you realize.

Raziel: Try it!

(Suddenly a noise of something falling is heard above. Raziel glances up.)

Raziel: O.O0; Oh dear.

(He is crushed by a giant rock, the Fox sign and a random fat man.)

Raziel: *With claw sticking out from underneath twitching* Owww...

(He climbs out, sneers at the elder and then makes his way out from where he came the first time through. He heads past the Pillars, back to the Stronghold and then jumps into the lake, and swims to where the Light Forge door is. He opens it with the Dark Reaver and enters.)

Raziel V.O: These murals left no doubt. These creatures were cool looking! Oh, and were the architects of the Pillars, and while the images were pretty damn hard to figure out, it seemed that the pillars were used to make their enemies riverdance and then vanish or diminish.

(He then enters and makes his way through a little. He comes across the first of those blocks you have to push to maneuver the light.)

Raziel: *Blank stare except for right eye twitching every five seconds, suddenly he starts to shake violently, foam starts to froth over his cowl and his eye twitches madly, he then screams insanely. * BLOCK PUZZLES! EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

(In his mad rant, he slaughters the thralls' and devours their souls quite gruesomely and in some miracle of a way, solves the forge puzzle and then calms down.)

Raziel: *Snaps back to reality* Wha, what happened?

(He goes back to the main room and plunges the reaver in the forge. He is lifted up as the Reaver is imbued with the power of Light.)

Raziel: WWWWWHHHHHEEEEEE! ^_______^ Now empowered with light, I had the means to re-enter the stronghold, I can only hope that I do not encounter Moebius. That guy is so gay!

Moebius: *Echoing from the Stronghold* No, I'm not!

Raziel: O.o;;

(He leaves the forge, fights a pointless shade and then makes his way to the other side of the stronghold. He uses the reaver and the massive doors open and he enters. He enters a swordsman and two female soldiers blocking the main hall.)

Swordsman: To arms, the unholy ones approach!

Raziel: Uh, there's only one of me.

Female soldier 1: Don't mind him, Fred's been a little dead in the head for the past ten years.

Female soldier 2: Well, I guess it's time to kill you.

Raziel: Seems so.

(They fight and Raziel kills them easily. He enters in the relic hall and walks towards the Chapel where the Reaver lays; he finds a corpse lying against the pillar, his throat torn open.)

Raziel: Where the hell are you, Kain!

(Kain is heard from William's chapel.)

Kain: Here, you idiot.

(Raziel enters and confronts Kain. The room gets all wavy again.)

Kain: This is where a really cool event happens, Raziel. You cannot comprehend the magnitude of this moment, and yet you must, other wise it would've been boring to just re-enter and go straight to the other time device.

(Raziel is just pissed as always when Kain does all this weird talk.)

Raziel: I only understand this, Kain - that those blue bird people are cool looking and the pillars made monsters dance. Also that Moebius and you have brought me to this moment and I got no clue who pulling the strings, but I'm cutting them. I make my own cookies from here on out.

(Raziel decides to leave at this.)

Kain: O.o If only it were that simple.

(Raziel stops and says.)

Raziel: God, will you just shut-up already! Your damn fatalism is annoying, Kain.

Kain: .and weirdly enough engraved, Raziel. You should know that you and I are not screwing up history by being here, we are meant to be here. History is irredeemable. Drop some stiff into a rushing river, the current just rushes over it as if the bum was never there. You and I are pebbles. I don't know how, but we are. We have a snowball's chance in hell of changing history. The continuum of time is simply too strong, too resilient. That's a lot of chat isn't it? Except, how the hell do we explain this wuss William, here?

(He points to the effigy and turns to it.)

Kain: The beloved boy-king-wuss turned decent tyrant.

(He picks up the reaver and turns to Raziel, lightly swinging the blade.)

Kain: In my youth, I witnessed William's rise to power and his transformation into the 'Nemesis' who laid waste to Nosgoth and stole all the cheese in Nosgoth.

Raziel: Get the hell away from me, Kain.

(Kain doesn't listen and continues to advance, reaver in hand as he speaks.)

Kain: Years later, and after turning into a vampire, I stumble upon a chance to go back in time and whoop his sorry ass before he can even ravage Nosgoth. I did not realize that jackass Moebius had ordained this. I gave him the catalyst needed to start a new hatred towards vampire; they never even thanked me for saving their cheese.

(Raziel gets even more pissed as Kain comes closer.)

Raziel: Really, back the f*#k off!

(Kain continues to draw closer.)

Kain: This one stupid act cause's the skein of history to become messed up. The Nemesis never becomes the Nemesis; William dies a martyred saint/wussy. I, the vampire assassin become the reason why vampires aren't allowed to golf. And that freak Moebius profits from it all. I destroyed a tyrant only to make one far worse, and he's gay.

(He points to the stained glass window, which now shows the lionized William and the demonized Kain playing poker with the stained glass pictures of Janos and the Sarafan. Both William and Kain have a Reaver placed as a bet.)

Kain: O.o But how can it be so? How, if history is unable to be screwed with?

(He gets even more close to Raziel, and the waviness gets even intense.)

Kain: The answer is here in this room, Raziel. Moebius sent William and me together - making sure we both had a Reaver to beat each other with. The reaver is the key, and somehow so is ball of yarn, but that will come later. Two versions of the reaver meet in time and space and a paradox happens, one that is strong enough to really screw-up history.

(Kain suddenly walks to close to Raziel and bumps into him, the wraith blade manifest on its own.)

Raziel: What the hell, is this your cheap magic?

Kain: Not mine, Raziel - yours. You have nothing to freak out about from me, Raziel. You hold all the cards.

(Raziel quickly looks inside his cowl and sees nothing.)

Raziel: Funny I don't see any.

Kain: Just take the damn thing!

(He hands the reaver over, hilt first. Raziel takes it and Kain shows his hands to show no deception. In short instant, Kain and Raziel are suddenly seen wearing British gentlemen clothing and suddenly back again, the wraith blade then decides to twine with the Reaver again.)

Wraith: Hey what's up?

Reaver: Nothing, you?

Wraith: Not much.

(Raziel and Kain don't even seem to notice this at all. Raziel then addresses Kain icily.)

Raziel: Then maybe I should test you. Dance!

(Kain does a little jig, suddenly three random people how up cards and give Kain a perfect ten. Raziel then points the tip of the blade at Kain's throat.)

Raziel: If what you say is true, then you should be really scared right now. I could kick your ass, steal your money and kill you.

(Kain responds like it's nothing new to him.)

Kain: And so you do, Raziel.

(Suddenly the blades turn hot pink and a little jingle plays, as this happens the blade pulls forward as if on its own will. Raziel is confused and alarmed.)

Raziel: I am confused and alarmed. What's happening?

(The reaver then turn green with red spots and a tune of Mary had a little lamp emanates from it. The trembling gets more intense and Raziel struggles against the pull.)

Kain: We are running towards our destinies like a confused idiot. What you feel is the pull of history rushing to meet us, what you see, I have no damn idea but it is weird. This is where history and destiny collide and a cow explodes.

(The reaver barks at Kain and lunges at him, he stumbles and falls to the ground against the sarcophagus. As Raziel fights the urge of the blade, it turns into potted flower and back again, Kain urges him.)

Kain: If you truly believe in free will and cookies, Raziel, now is the time to prove. Kill me and we become cliché pawns drawn down the path of an artificial destiny. I was ordained to assume the role of balance guardian in Nosgoth and get a free pizza, while you destined to be its savior. But the crayon map of my fate was redrawn by Moebius, who did a horrible job, and so in turn was yours. (The blades turns back to normal with a farting noise, Raziel struggles to keep control.)

Raziel: This madness! I want a snowcone!

Kain: Fight it, Raziel. this does not have to be an ending, it can become a prelude to another game, one that will kick ass.

(The reaver is gaining, Raziel is losing strength.)

Raziel: I can't, the snowcone beckons!

Kain: You can, Raziel - look inside and see that it's true. You have the power to ignore fate and reshape our futures. I'll buy you one if do.

Raziel: Ok.

(He lifts the and in an instant, brings it down, Kain flinches expecting impact and a flash occurs. Raziel stumbles back with his now free of the blade; he has plunged the reaver in the sarcophagus and split it in two. Kain stumbles up and looks in surprise as a voice erupts from the stone.)

Sarcophagus William: OW! That really freaking hurt you know!

(Suddenly his soul is sucked into the blade Kain shrugs.)

Kain: .poor William.

(Suddenly a studio audience boos at Kain's joke and throw rotten fruit at him. Then they vanish and the room starts to shake violently as history labors to change to this alteration and somewhere in the distance a cow bursts into flames and explodes.)

Raziel: O.o Whoa, I didn't know the world got drunk this long ago.

Kain: No, it is not that. History abhors a paradox and fuzzy slippers, Raziel. Even now, the time-stream strains to divert itself since you just blocked its original course by not killing me. The future is reshuffling its sock drawer due to your monumental decision.

(As Kain says this, the distortion subsides.)

Kain: This is where we redeem ourselves and our golf course passes and reclaim our true destinies. It may still be possible for me to assume my role as Balance Guardian and return the pillars to their rightful inheritors -

(Raziel interrupts.)

Raziel: - to the monkeys, I mean vampires. And this is the destiny you urged me to discover? I don't know what game you and Moebius are playing, Kain - but I refuse to be your dog. Kain: Dog?

Raziel: Well this whole pawn stuff keeps referring to chess and I got bored of that.

(Raziel turns and strides away.)

Kain: Very well, I'll not ask you to trust me - your truths are for you to discover on your own.

(Raziel stops and says without turning.)

Raziel: Humble words coming from a man who has an equal drinking problem and tries to teach me a lesson at every turn.

Kain: Then continue your journey and learn your lessons, Raziel. Remember - Moebius led you here, but you walk away with me alive and free to go kick his ass. A conquer of free will and a devourer of alcohol.

(Raziel walks away with no comment.)

Kain: There is much more for you to unearth, but I no longer can give you a shovel, just try and keep in mind that Moebius is a gay freak who'll undoubtedly trick you.

(He vanishes and Raziel walks back to the chamber where it all started and fires the light reaver at the stone, it glows and opens the doors to the device. Suddenly Moebius runs in only in his boxers, Raziel reels at this site and throws his hands up to his eyes.)

Raziel: THE HORROR!

(Moebius sees what's wrong runs off and comes back with some cloths on. He is now wearing a pink frilly T-shirt saying: "Love and Peace" and is still alarmed for he knows that Kain has survived the supposed fatal encounter. Raziel realizes that and relishes in it.)

Raziel: O.o Ah, yes - I like that look on your face Moebius, you really don't know what to do now do you, old man? And you wearing that shirt opens up even ways to blackmail you than already possible.

Moebius: Kain's devious influence has poisoned your mind, now you see pink T-shirts everywhere, even in your closest allies!

Raziel: We were never allies, conspirators, perhaps, but I was probably drunk at the time. Now just shut up and do what I say and go in there and get that machine working.

Moebius: Why are you so mean? , I mean yes I know I'm a little tricky -

Raziel: A LITTLE!?! YOUR GONNA TRICK ME IN THE END AND TRY TO CAUSE ME TO GET PULLED INTO THE REAVER!

(He then grabs Moebius by the scruff of the neck and throws him into the time-streaming device.)

Moebius: What are you doing. You, going to frisk me?

Raziel: O.o Say something like that again and you'll find your head where your ass should be!

Moebius: Sorry!

Raziel: Now operate the machine and leave me to my own destiny to shape. I wish to go into a simpler time before the Sarafan began their crusade.

(Moebius operates the controls and then addresses Raziel.)

Moebius: There, all you have to do now is touch those two poles and the device will transport you. But I urge you to reconsider.

(Raziel places his hands on the poles of the device.)

Raziel: Oh will you just shut-up you stupid excuse for villain, rot here, and forget me.

(Moebius then runs out screaming about wanting to be some ones bitch and Raziel just shakes his head. When Moebius is far away his face turns into a cunning grin. Raziel then throws the switch and is swept into the currents of time. only to where?)
