Chapter 11

New Plans

I wasn't sure how much time passed but I knew it was at least a couple hours before I woke up.

Though I do know I woke up to the sound of singing?

"Hmm huh?"

I sat up and saw a bunch of gnomes of singing while looking through my drawers.

One of them saw I was awake.

"Oh shit the kid is awake, What the fuck do we do?!?"

"I guess we have to kill him."

"Alright fuck it lets kill him."

I sighed and sat up.

"Ok look i had a long and tiring day and i just woke up seeing gnomes, i don't want to fight anything or have anyone killed can we negotiate some deal so we can all go home happy and alive?"

"But aren't you already home?"

"I don't care ok? Can i just talk to your leader and we can negotiate a deal of some kind?"

One of the Gnomes that was dressed as a Warlock approached me.

"Alright so explain exactly what the hell is going on?"

The Warlock explained that they were underpants gnomes and were using underpants they collected to stop the Green Goo from ruining their underground world.

I felt a little bad because it was partially my fault.

I went over to a box and took out some underpants and handed them to the Gnomes.

"Here I can always get more I suppose."

"Hey thanks kid, is there anything we can do to help you out?"

I thought for a moment.

"Do you have anything that i can use to my advantage?"

The Warlock thought for a moment then handed me a small bag with some dust in it.

"Here you can use this to grow big or small anytime you want."

"Thanks, I'm sure I'll have a use for this."

I put the bag away and watched the Gnomes begin to leave through a hole in my wall.

But as they walked I heard one Gnome talking to the Warlock.

"Sir what about the girl in the kid's bed?"

"Ignore her, the kid gave us all the underpants we need for now."

They left and I was a little confused.

"What girl?"

'Uh N you should probably look on your bed.'

I listened to Red and looked at the bed.

To my surprise Henrietta was in my bed asleep in a black nightgown.

'Ok now i'm confused.'

I thought to myself even though Red could hear me.

'I think she likes you dude.'

'Either that or she's using me for something.'

'She has sworn her loyalty to you many times already though.'

'True.'

I went over to my bed and layed back down.

'I'm just gonna try to get some more sleep for the time being.'

I closed my eyes and when I did I felt something around me.

When I opened my eyes I saw Henrietta's arm around me.

I shook my head a bit and went back to sleep.

A couple of hours passed and I woke up.

I checked my watch to see it was 5:30 AM.

'Apparently I can't wake up at a decent time eh Red?'

Red didn't speak to me.

'Guess he's still sleeping.'

I got up and looked at my hands.

There was a slight aura around them.

'My power just keeps getting stranger and stranger.'

"My lord?"

I turned around and saw Henrietta was awake.

"Why are you here?"

She sat up.

"When your followers are close to you our power increases."

'That could explain why a trace of my power was around me.'

"Ok but how did you get here?"

She vanished causing me to look behind me and she was there.

"When your followers gain enough power we can summon ourselves to you and you can summon us to you as well."

'Well that's surprisingly convenient.'

It would be at least a couple hours before anyone else was awake.

"I'm heading to my lair, there's something I want to attempt."

I told her to walk out of my room.

She followed me saying she wanted to improve some aspects to my lair.

I left a note on my door saying I got an early start and went to hang out with some friends.

It wasn't much of a lie but it should keep any worry my parents would possibly have for me.

We entered my lair and quickly separated.

I entered a different hallway and found a few doors.

After a few minutes I found exactly what I was looking for.

An actual forge for a blacksmith.

I wasn't a blacksmith but I did read about this one time.

There was some strange metal that I could tell wasnt from this world.

'This should suffice.'

'What are you doing?'

'Oh you're awake now Red?'

'Yes now what are you doing?'

'Im making myself some actual weapons since Butters shattered my fake ones'

'That's not a bad idea but'

'But what?'

'N you don't have the skills to make a weapon that can handle your abilities.'

'But did not those fake swords handle them pretty well?'

'You never actually used your power with them.'

I was about to say something but he had a point.

I never actually used my power with weapons, just technique.

'Ok so i need a blacksmith follower.'

I began to leave my lair.

Henrietta approached me.

"My lord, I have set up your Bedroom as well as a magic room to help increase your abilities."

"Well done, now tell me something, what is your class?"

"I'm a witch of the dark arts."

"Damn it"

"What's wrong my lord?"

"I need a new weapon in order to fight what's ahead."

"So you need a blacksmith"

"Exactly, but its not exactly the easiest to find."

"It can be though."

"How so?"

"From what i read i believe you have the ability to give one of your followers when they join you a class of your choice."

"So the best way to gain a Blacksmith for my lair would be to obtain a new follower."

"Yes and it has to be someone not currently involved in this stupid game youre apart of."

"And why is that?"

"Cause anyone in this stupid game already has a class."

I was a bit annoyed at all of these rules but i decided it was best not to linger on it any further, or i might end up doing something i would regret.

"Alright then, I want you to go back to your group for now, I'm gonna be working on some things on my own, I'll summon you when I need you."

She nodded and left the lair.

I went to my skill trees and began to learn some new abilities.

'I had a feeling I was going to need these in the long run.'

'Those powers and techniques will definitely help'

'Why do you think that?'

'It's likely that Clyde has been spying on you and is most likely gonna use his knowledge on your abilities to his advantage, so having a few hidden abilities will give you an edge over him and his army of darkness.'

'Yeah that's not the only thing i need to give me an edge.'

'You mean new swords right?'

'That obvious?'

'Yes, i understand why you want them,but wouldn't it be smarter to just use your aura weapon or that electric sword you used.'

'Those are more powerful but they use more PP and unfortunately if I fight for a long time I could run out of power or weaken me to a point where I could get killed.'

'That's true.'

I finished unlocking my abilities and exited my lair.

'Red do you think we'll find any answers to why we're like this?'

'Truthfully i don't know, clearly we have to be attached for a reason and i don't think it was an accident.'

'It definitely wasn't an accident. I just wish I could remember anything before we got to this town or why we moved here.'

'Or why we're connected'

'Or why i have a watch that can connect to alien technology'

'Or why we have these powers'

I chuckled a bit

'Wow we really have a lot of questions.'

'One I still want the answer to is why you're even playing this game?'

'Something to do, and it's kinda giving me a few answers to my past.'

'Youre talking about the demon lord abilities?'

'Yes clearly they have something to do with why you were connected to me, clearly there's a connection.'

'But what is it?'

'One day we'll know'

I made it back to my house and saw Stan waiting for me.

"Why are you at my house?"

"There's some sort of meeting at the Elven Forest."

I sighed

"Fine i'll go"

Stan went ahead of me and I walked to Kyle's house.

A bunch of kids including Butters Kenny, Jimmy and Cartman were sitting in chairs and Kyle was on a stand in front of them.

I saw Stan was in a seat, so I found mine.

"Ah commander N decided to bless us with his presence."

"I had a long morning ok?"

I sat down.

Kyle started his presentation

"Humans and Elves of Zaron. A great evil has descended upon us. After researching last night, I believe we are facing a threat to our entire world."

He used powerpoint to show us a picture of Clyde's castle

"Clyde's fortress of darkness is over four stories tall. So far, he has recruited at least fifty warriors to be on his team and he-"

I heard Cartman laugh a little.

"Leave it to Kyle…"

"You have something to say,wizard?"

"Nothing. Just think it's kinda funny how drow elves in the Middle Ages can use PowerPoint."

I facepalmed myself annoyed.

'N calm yourself.'

'I'm gonna kill him Red, I'm gonna do it.'

Kyle continued speaking.

"You guys this is serious. Clyde is attempting to raise an army of darkness. I believe he is messing with something he cannot control. He has recruited many of our friends and so. Our only hope is for our two factions to join forces."

I nodded thinking that this was the best of action, but of course Cartman.

"Fuck that! We do not team up with fucking elves!"

Stan spoke next.

"You got a better idea, Wizard fat ass?!"

Butters spoke up

"After what you elves did to us,at the Battle of Wormsly Woods?! You think we'll ever trust you?!"

Cartman nodded at Butters.

"Yeah you tell them Butters!"

Stan spoke next

"That was Jimmy's fault and he apologized."

"Oh were apologizing now? How about we apologize for breaking the rule about using arcane fire magic?"

'Ok this argument is getting out of hand.'

I got my gun out and shot up a few times.

Everyone shut up quickly and looked at me.

"Ok so about we listen to Kyle before I start to aim a little lower?"

Everyone went quiet and looked at Kyle.

"Thank you Commander, whether we are Human or Elf isn't going to matter one bit if all of Zaron is taken over by german zombies! We saw what that green stuff does. We better figure out a way to stop Clyde or there won't be a world left to fight in."

Stan spoke to Kyle

"Even if we join forces we still don't have enough warriors."

Kyle nods at this.

"So we recruit more factions to join us. The Pirate. The Federation and The Girls."

Butters looked shocked.

"The Girls?!"

Cartman was equally shocked.

"Kyle, the girls are not gonna play with us."

Stan surprisingly agreed with Cartman.

"Yeah dude, we can't convince girls to do this."

Kyle looks at me

"No but maybe the new kid can."

"I have a name you know."

He ignored me

"The new kid has a power we yet to understand. He makes friends on Facebook faster than any we have ever seen."

I checked Facebook on my phone.

'Huh when did that happen?'

"He is really good at getting friends, I'll give him that."

I heard Cartman whisper.

"Find a way to get the Girls to side with us, Commander N. I'll deal with the other factions. The rest of you return to your stations and prepare for war."

Everyone except me shouted Huzzah.

Then each of them got up and picked their chairs up.

I did the same and went to Butters.

"Hey sorry about our battle yesterday Butters i hope i didn't hurt you too bad."

Butters smiled at me.

"Oh it's fine, this is just a game after all."

I wasn't expecting him to be so forgiving.

"Anyway good luck recruiting the Girls,commander N."

He ran off and I left Kyle's backyard.

'So N any ideas on how to recruit the Girls?'

Red asked me.

I thought for a moment and a small smile formed on my face.

'I have a plan.'
