Chapter 03: Spaceships, Evil Urns, and Giant Robots

Vash Naroom

"We've got to get out there!" Tony shouted, running to the door. However, Eidon stood blocking his path. "Eidon, what are you doing!"

"Yeah, dude, we have to go fight!" Yaki chimed in. Eidon continued to block their path.

"I'm sorry, young ones, but only one of you is to fight." he looked up, a solemn look on his face. "Because two of you must leave."

"What are you talking about, Eidon?" Tryn asked calmly. She wanted to get out there and try and help, but yelling wouldn't help.

"Tony, Yaki, please move Orwin's bed."

"What!" Yaki shouted angrily. "Dude, this is not the time for interior decorating!"

"Please, do it for me."

"Fine!" Yaki roared. He turned quickly, his fist coming out. "Bhatar, destroy that stupid bed!" the wooden dream creature shot forth, its large fist obliterating the bed. The dream creature then returned to Yaki's ring. "Happy now!"

"Yaki!" Toy shouted. "Look." the headstrong magi turned to see that under the remnants of Orwin's bed was a tunnel, one which led down into the great oak that held Vash Naroom.

"What in the world?"

"It leads to the only way out of Vash Naroom. Down there is a ship, one which will take Tony and the Chosen of Naroom to the other realms, which are no longer part of our world. And I know that the chosen is either you, Yaki, or Tryn."

"Eidon, what are you talking about?" Tony asked.

"There's no time. You have to go!" suddenly, the city was shaken as the first wave hit. The hit sent Yaki tumbling into the tunnel. Hesitating for a moment, Tony followed, as did Tryn.

Inner Naroom Tree

The trio walked in silence for a while, there traveling made dangerous by the violent shaking of the tree. Soon, Yaki said, "We shouldn't be running. We should go back and fight."

"Yaki ,I feel the same way." Tony said. "This place is my home now. But I trust Eidon more than anything. If he says we have to go, we have to go." Tony remembered what Eidon had yelled. 'Find the Chosen from each world.'

"Whatever." after a while of continued walking, they came to a large chamber, and they all gasped. What sat before them was a large shuttle, one which looked as if it could hold all the citizens of Vash Naroom. It was a dark black, and on the back were large rockets. "What is this thing?"

"It's a… spaceship." Tony said, shocked to be seeing something from his world in the Moonlands. Truthfully, it looked like something from the comics in his worlds, but still…

"Spaceship?" Yaki asked, getting excited. "You mean this thing can travel through sp-" Yaki was suddenly thrown back by devastating blast, which he had felt when he touched the ship. He stopped as he hit the wall behind him, sliding to the ground. "Dude, harsh."

"Is that normal?" Tryn asked Tony worried.

"Not on Earth." cautiously, Tony put out his hand, quickly tapping the ship. However, he found that he didn't get shocked. Then he realized. "I get it! I can touch the ship cause I'm one of the Chosen. Which means…" Tony spun, looking to Tryn. "So are you."

"What?" Tryn gasped, stepping back. "Me, but Yaki's a better fighter than me."

"Find out." Tony said, smiling. He put a hand on the ship. "Try touching it."

Tryn stared at the ship for a moment, then Tony, then back to the ship. She sighed. Hesitantly, she put a hand on the ship, and felt nothing. "Well, I guess it is me."

New Core- Palace

Kyros' eyes flickered open. After opening that wall, things had gone black. He know found himself standing in the middle of a dark room. In front of him was very pronounced throne, with a purple urn in the center.

Suddenly, a dark voice filled the room. "Hello, Kyros, it is good to see you again."

A smirk came onto Kyros' face. He let out a laugh. "Well, well, if it isn't the Hyren Lord, the one I put in that pot all those millennia. So, you're the one I was destined to free."

"Kyros, if I didn't need your help, I'd order my new legions to kill you on the spot." the urn shook violently.

"So, the time of Prophecy is upon us. And, I'm sure you know that Tony Jones is probably already making his escape from Naroom with the world's Chosen."

"Not if the Universal Magi I have under my control has anything to say about it."

"What? But I thought Tony and I were the only Universals?"

"Yes. You two… and Rayje."

Inner Naroom

"After all the things I've seen here in the Moonlands, I'd never expect to see the inside of a spaceship." Tony said.

"I know, it's amazing!" exclaimed Tryn, looking at the cockpit.

"That's right, guys, I don't mind the whole rubbing in!" Yaki yelled sarcastically from outside.

"Sorry!" Tony yelled back. So far, they had found a kitchen, twelve beds, four baths and toilets, and a training room. "It really is nice though."

The two returned to the outer part of the ship, next to Yaki. Tryn said, "Well, I guess we have to get going."

Yaki sighed. "Man, I can't believe you guys get to go around the galaxy, as it were, and save the Moonlands. This is so unfair."

"Don't worry, Yaki. You'll be fighting here on the home front. I know you can help defend Naroom."

"Dude, that was so dang corny." Yaki chuckled. "Thanks, man." Yaki and Tony shook hands, then punched each other on the shoulder. "I believe in you, Tee. I know you can save the Moonlands again."

Suddenly, a large fist slammed through the tree wall behind them. It was a dark gray, with blue circlets on it. This was followed by an entire robot surging through the wall, on top of it was a platform, on which the mysterious magi from before stood. Suddenly, he shouted, "Colossus, return!" the large mechanical Dream Creature glowed brightly, before shooting back into the man's ring. He back flipped to the ground, pulling out his energy sword as he did. Landing, he looked to Tony with a smile. "Hello, Tony. My name is Rayje, and I'm going to be killing you now.
