Now we get to see the other side of the spectrum, the pasta monsters. You might be saying that it's been too long since the story started, but it takes a while for inspiration to come and ideas to get organized. So, here you go.

Slashers VS Pasta Monsters

Chapter II:A Quest for Pride

The palace floated through a smoking sky, populated by giant bat-like monstrosities, and even these beasts flew away in fear when it approached. It was not without reason; for this palace was of tortured glass, each cracked pane staring into a realm, observing every action in that realm and waiting for the thin glass to crack and shatter so the palace could take over.

Within this palace, thousands of humanoid monsters forged from the tears of the undead moved about, working hard to ensure hatred and insanity was plentiful in the dwelling. Their flesh was green like mucus and scaly, their eyes red with a black sclera; their ears were pointed, the teeth were carved into fangs, and their talons were sharper than swords. Each monster was clad in shimmering black armor carved from the concentrated suffering of mothers filled with grief.

But even all of this paled before the otherworldly abomination standing straight and tall in the center of the palace. He was jet-skinned, clad in silver armor that reflected screams of utter insanity. His snout was thick and outstretched like that of a dinosaur, and two horns sprouted from the top of his head before they curved downwards. On his body were seven mouths, six of them speaking in foul tongues, the last one singing the song that was able to end the world. In his upper right hand, he held a candle that shone pure darkness, and in his bottom right hand was a dead star, a swirling black hole. Both of his left hands were stained with the blood of Am Dhaegar, a realm that had dared to attack and lay waste to his realm. A corona of black lightning surrounded him. In place of his eyes were two empty sockets oozing a thick black liquid.

His real name was Z'algatoth, but most simply knew him as Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺.

Every creature of insanity cowered before him, knowing that, when he was not in the right mood, Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ could reduce them to mere molecules. One had to have no fear when facing him.

Which was why Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ had selected him. The tall, thin creature had once been a mere human being, until he had been exposed to a glass pane, which had actually been a portal to Eldrathor, the realm of insanity, fear, and hatred. Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ had felt the potential for insanity in the man, though, and had shaped him to become the most loyal servant and soldier of his. His continued presence could bring paranoia, his teleportation could leave a mere mortal confused and shocked with terror, and his combat prowess and powers could inspire fear in entire battalions.

"Your pitch black Majesty Z'algatoh, the Emperor of Insanity, and the God Ruler Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺" Slender Man greeted Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ as he kneeled before him.

"RISE" Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ growled. Slender Man immediately did so, standing straight at eight feet, his green tentacles squirming uncontrollably, his "suit", which was actually just a morphing disguise, shining in the black light of the corona of lightning.

"What do you wish of me at this moment, my lord?" Slender Man humbly asked. At that, Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ chuckled, which sounded more like the cracking of thunder.

"YOU, SLENDER MAN...I HAVE A PARTICULAR MISSION SET UP FOR YOU. I HAVE SELECTED YOU FOR YOUR DISCIPLINE AND PRECISION, SOMETHING LACKING IN MY OTHER SERVANTS SUCH AS SMILE DOG AND THE RAKE" Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ snarled to him, drinking in Slender Man's confidence and pride.

"Where do you wish me to strike, my lord?" Slender Man asked him. He could sense that this was something of incredible importance not just to Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺,but to his entire realm.

"THERE IS A HUMAN GIRL, ON THE PLANET KNOWN AS EARTH. SHE RESIDES IN THE INSTITUTION KNOWN AS THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, IN THE CITY CALLED CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

If he had any eyebrows, Slender Man would have raised one; he was confused. So what if there was one human girl in the University of Chicago? What was so important about her that it concerned Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺?

"If I may ask, my lord, what about her bothers you?" Slender Man asked. Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ seemed to shake as Slender Man asked this question.

"SHE IS THE ONE WHO HAS THE ONE POWER TO DESTROY THE FORCES OF CHAOS! IF WE DO NOT CRUSH HER NOW, SHE SHALL BE THE END OF US ALL!"

Slender Man felt like he had been hit by a missile impact; this one little human being could destroy him, this palace, and the God Ruler Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺? How was such a thing even remotely possible? But no, he could not seem so shocked. He needed to retain composure before his lord.

"My lord, you may rest quite assured that I shall not fail to destroy this gi-!"

"NO!" Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ roared, sudden enough to make Slender Man slightly jump. "THE GIRL MUST BE BROUGHT HERE TO ME! I MUST BE THE ONE TO STUDY HER, AND THEN, MAKE HER SUFFER UNTIL SHE DIES FOR HAVING SUCH A POWER! BRING HER TO ME!"

Slender Man nodded slowly in respect, before he kneeled once more.

"It shall be done, my lord. I shall not fail you."

Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ chuckled slightly at this, though any possible reason as to why escaped Slender Man.

"NO, YOU SHALL NOT. NOW RISE, AND GO FORTH ON YOUR MISSION! IF WORST COMES TO WORST, THEN PREPARE FOR WAR."

-So, Z̤̲̙̙͎̥̝A͎̣͔̙͘L̥̻̗̳̻̳̳͢G͉̖̯͓̞̩̦O̹̹̺ has also warned his best servant of war. What for? We'll see-soon, but not soon enough! Don't forget to read and review! Don't be afraid to be critical-is the word choice weird? Bad grammar and tense? want me to write faster? Don't just sit there! Tell me! So, see you guys next time, and don't forget to also read and review my other current story, Slender Man, and the upcoming The Pocket and Guardian (which are in the same universe as Slender Man).
