Chapter 12 : I'm goin' Graverobbin'…

"What the hell is that?" asks Arthas, pointing to a meat Wagon.

"This crude contraption is well… Its like a catapult, only it throws dead people and can carry corpses. It will help you keep Kel'Thuzad's remains intact."

"Can you not raise them when we find them?"

"Pardon me but a being of Kel'Thuzad's power can only be resurrected at a powerful nexus of ley-energies."

(Long Silence)

"There is no such place here."

"Of course there is, nexus thingies are everywhere!" says Arthas. "You, ghoul, do you have a nexus of ley-energies?"

"Yeah, I got three on me! Why?"

"See, just use those!"

"I'm sorry sir, that would be too easy. And I said powerful nexus of ley-energies"

They retrieve the ashes. No big surprise there, seeing how easy it was. For God's sake, this doesn't make any sense: why the hell were his ashes buried? He was a damn necromancer! WHY WOULD VILLAGERS BURY A FREAKIN' UNDEAD! Add to the list he was already dead before he got killed… wait, I'm confused.

"Come, Necromancer, looks like we need you for once."

"Told you my death would mean little…" says Kel'Thuzad's ghost.

"What the… Am I seeing ghosts now?"

"How would that be a problem? You're an undead!"

"Good point."

2.5 seconds later.

"Took you long enough, these remains stink, they'll never survive the trip to Minas Tirith!" complains Tichondrius.

"Minas Tirith?"

"Yes, we've found that nexus thingy: it is the elves' most guarded treasure: The One ring!"

"Isn't the One Ring…"

"Yes, but now it's a nexus thingy" answers Tichondrius to quickly put away the question… "Anyway, we need a special Urn to keep the necromancer's remains intact. It is guarded by Paladins. I hope you see where I'm going?"

"I'm going to have to pass the undead tutorial thing, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes…"

Now, I'm pretty sure you know this part so I'll save you some reading time and skip that tutorial, needless to say our evil prince was pretty irritated… So Arthas goes and kills the first paladin.

"You've stripped Uther of his honor by-" says the paladin.

"Would you just die!" shouts Arthas.

"No, must make really long… speech about… (Strangling sound and dies)"

They ride on to kill the next paladin… and get to Uther.

"Your father ruled this land for seventy years, and you've grounded it to dust in a matter of pages" complains Uther.

"Stop being a drama queen, he was a bad king anyway! Give me the urn and I'll make your death… just give me the urn."

"This urn contains your father's ashes! What, were you hoping to piss on them one last time before you let his kingdom to rot?"

"Well, now that you mention it…"

"You were supposed to destroy the undead, not join them!" shouts Uther.

"Oh, not this again…" says a reader that had just realized what is to follow…

"You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind! Until now… Until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy! You were the Chosen One Arthas! I loved you like a brother!"

"I HATE YOU!" screams Arthas, taking a swing at Uther. Star Wars Episode 3 music starts playing and the two former friends start slashing at each other with their lightsabers. They fight their way to one of the stations generator thingies, and it plunges into the lava.

The two keep fighting, until they realize the generator is going down a lava fall. Uther jumps down to a nearby shore while Arthas jumps on a platform.

"Its over Arthas, I have the high ground!" seeing Arthas getting ready to jump, he added: "Don't try it!"

But Arthas jumps, Uther takes a swing at him and misses, Arthas gets in his back… and slices him in half… Darth Vader's march music starts playing…

10 minutes later…

"Good, now your journey to Minas Tirith can begin" congratulates Tichondrius.

"Tell him nothing, the dreadlords are the lich king's jailors! If you talk, I'll do… you know what? Screw this, I will tell you all, when I walk this earth again…" says Kel'Thuzad.
