Chapter Eight: The Demon of Echailoqie

Five thousand billion light years away from Earth lie a tiny planet called Echailoqie(EH-kuh-LOKE). The residents of the planet, the Echailoqians, were a happy people who worshipped an orange ball of fire that lay in a glass circle in the center of the Grand Castle. Seated in front of it in his mighty throne lay King Skara.

Then one day something terrible happened. A mystical power from inside the ball of fire escaped. It first blew up the castle, and then proceededto destroy the entire planet. But it did not stop there. The demon continued on, traveling through space, destroying many prosperous planets, until finally it headed to Earth in 1831 B.C., billions of years after the destruction of Echailoqie. However, it hit an erupting volcano as well as a glacier also headed towards Earth. A very large hole in the ground was made, and the demon, still composed of fire, fell into it. The hole was covered with ice, and the demon was trapped inside...until almost 4,000 years later.

Then, in 2001, a small puppet of a king made by a factory with earth, used part of the demon. The demon possessed the puppet, and broke out of the store that night. He now called himself the Puppet King, and wanted everyone to be destroyed and be replaced with his own puppets.

The Puppet King returned to the site and gathred the other pieces of his soul. He created a lair in the form of a puppet theater for himself and put them intoa jar. He started to create puppets of actual people and when he would finish one, he would take some of the chemicals out of the jar and put them in the puppets. He planned to switch out their souls for those of the puppets, and then destroy the puppets. Soon he would have control over everyone - they would be his puppets...

Kind of short, but hey, tomorrow and the next day is an extra-long two-part chapter. Neither introduce anyone, but both put a different main character into a group that they are in before they join the Teen Titans. It will be called "Good-Byes". Please R&R!
