Hello everyone!
I know, I know! You're all probably wondering, 'When is he going to continue RWBY/Arkham? Or Exchange Student, or JSPR? Or even Yu-Gi-Mon! and the Merlin story?' Well first of all, that last one depends on Deerpelt, the author actually writing it and giving me permission to post it. Secondly I CAN tell you I am trying my DARNDEST to get back to these as well as a few other fics I have planned. Life has just been a bit nuts for me. I'm STILL trying to find a newer job (feel like I'm getting a BIT closer, but we'll see) and hopefully it will be straightened out soon and I'll have more time to work on them in a more uniform manner. Things in the world still kinda suck (the wars still happening and the WGA strike for some), but at least SOME things are getting a LITTLE better. The number of Covid cases is now low enough it is no longer seen as a world threat anymore and that's all thanks to science and us taking care of ourselves! However, we STILL need to keep our eyes on things to make sure it DOESN'T get this way again! So until it likely becomes endemic next year or the year after (and even AFTER that), make sure you continue to wear masks in confined settings or around really at-risk people for perhaps a little while longer, get your vaccines ASAP (and if able) and just continue to take good care of yourselves and your health.
Now, with THIS new story. First, a little history lesson.
I'm unsure how many of you remember this but a while back, there was a card game called Chaotic. The idea was that in an alternate world called Perim, four different tribes of creatures were fighting each other for ultimate power. You would use the abilities of these creatures as well as attacks, weapons (BattleGear), magical abilities (Mugic) and even the powers of different locations around the world to do battle and beat your opponents who would try the same. Each card had a special code of letters and numbers and like snowflakes, no two were alike. These codes would allow you to digify every card you had to be able to play online.
4Kids Entertainment eventually managed to get the license to produce the card game (albeit with quite a couple changes from the original pitch; then again, this IS 4Kids, so you know…) as well as creating a show about Chaotic, featuring main character Tom Majors and his friends Kaz (enemy in the original pitch), Sarah and Payton as they traveled to an actual PLACE called Chaotic (apparently in a whole separate dimension). In the show, by using a special technology, the kids manage to BECOME the Creatures of Perim and battle other Players with all the things of the game becoming real in that world, as well as being able to travel to the REAL Perim and make friends and enemies with different creatures and other Chaotic Players.
The show aired on 4Kids TV, which later became the CW 4Kids and Vortexx (R.I.P. those Saturdays and days of old.) Later on, the card game introduced a fifth tribe, the M'arrillians, an evil tribe with mind-control abilities. This went into the second season of the show and later, a mystical City of the Elements made an appearance in the third season and a new card line. The game itself became popular for a time and even had an online site that let you play against people from all over as was planned with the codes. A couple videogames even came out, one of which I have.
Then sadly, things went down the crapper.
TCDigital (the original makers of the game) and 4Kids eventually got into a series of lawsuits over the Chaotic property, putting any new cards or Chaotic merchandise (including a Perim prequel book series which has one book out) on indefinite hiatus. Then, 4Kids filed for bankruptcy in 2014, renaming itself 4Licensing… then THAT filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2017. This completely dissolved the company and ended the copyright dispute lawsuit with TCDigital, but in a sense, all but put an end to Chaotic. Recently however, a reboot of the Chaotic franchise was announced to be in progress, according to the president of TCDigital Games and the creator of the original idea, Bryan C. Gannon. No major new news has been announced at this time. He has however said that should the show restart up, it would pick up right where it ended in the third season, no reboots there or anything.
Okay, time for the story of how THIS story came to be.
I've always been a fan of Chaotic (even still have my old cards) and I entertained the idea of making my own continuation story, but could never find time or a good way to do it (continue where it left off, or go to a next gen story?) A short while ago, I came upon these fanmade Chaotic cards made by DeviantArtist, AllanTheGymLeader. Many were mainly already done artworks and pictures that he used (one was OBVIOUSLY a Predator from the same movie series) as Creatures or BattleGear or the like, but they were EXTREMELY well done with abilities and everything. He even managed to make two fanmade tribes (sort of based on a rumor that apparently there supposed to be a SIXTH tribe before the series went to pot). He had also tried to write a fanfiction series based on the TV show, but it was a little rough and never got beyond one chapter. So he and I got to talking and bouncing ideas off each other. Then, I had the idea that he and I could write a reboot of the fanfic series, following the actual plan that there were going to be seven seasons originally (seven was apparently a magic number in Chaotic). So we made slight outlines for four future seasons and this, Rise of the Tribes, is the first season of this new series and continuation of Chaotic! Of course, if and when the series comes back, it'll probably be rendered non-canon, but HEY! I've said before that that's the beauty of fanfiction! It can be Canon and not affect Canon at all 😉!
So anyway, I hope you enjoy this story and the ones in the future to come. This story belongs to me and AllanTheGymLeader, and any fanmade Creatures, Attacks, BattleGear, Mugics, Locations and characters belong to him (with a few characters being my own). The show and game itself belong to 4Kids (or whatever they are now) and Bryan C. Gannon.
Chaotic: Rise of the Tribes
Season 1, Episode 1: Chloroneuroptics, Part 1
When most people play a game, they can get pretty into it. But there's only one game in the world that lets you get so into it, you can actually TRAVEL to a place where the game comes to life. That is Chaotic. By using cards representing fantastic Creatures from a world called Perim, you can use devastating Attacks, incredible BattleGear and mystical Mugics in numerous fascinating Locations as you try to beat your opponents. There are also codes on the cards that allow you to transfer those cards online. Then, when you win enough online battles, you receive a very special code. One that essentially splits you into a digital consciousness and sends you to a whole other dimension separate from Earth. The true world of Chaotic! A seemingly floating island above the clouds, split off into seven sections. In each section is a special building called a BattleDrome where, using special technology, you can actually BECOME the Creatures and use all the things that make the game unique to do battle yourself against other Players.
On the incredible island, a battle was going on in one such Drome. In a blue and yellow building which was designated "BattleDrome Amzen", two young men were standing in a fantastic looking room with a spinning Chaotic symbol above them in the middle of the ceiling. The two stood apart from each other in front of two screens with a stand in front as well.
The first to speak was an African-American boy who was dressed in hip-hop garb with gold chains and a floppy hat. He smiled at the other guy as he said, "Man, I gotta tell ya, MajorTom. This battle has been outta SIGHT, yo!" He crossed his arms and made a rapper pose.
The other young man- the aforementioned MajorTom- had black hair, slightly tan skin and light blue eyes. He always wears a gray t-shirt with a white target symbol on it, a black elbow-length shirt underneath, blue jeans and gray trainers. He smiled at his opponent. "I agree, YO-LO," he said. "It has been rather fun battling another OverWorld Player. Too bad it's going to have to end soon."
"Yeah, yer right man," YO-LO nodded before getting a big grin on his face. "But at least it's gonna end with me laying down some SICK beats while I beat YOU! Especially since yer down to just one single Creature. If you ask me, that single will fizzle into a one-hit wonder."
MajorTom frowned. Though the speech was odd, it was obvious he'd been insulted. "We'll just see about that."
Just then, a voice that sounded like it was filtered through a computer spoke from the spinning symbol. "MajorTom, it is your attack. Activate your Location Randomizer."
MajorTom reached to his left and swiped his hand over a white spinner. It twirled around as pictures of different exotic places appeared. It finally landed on a picture of a forest that seemed to have white eyes poking everywhere.
"The next Location shall be… the Forest of Life," the voice stated.
MajorTom glared at YO-LO. "Maxxor attacks Phalslash!" He called out as he placed his hand on his right screen over a picture of a tall and strong green-skinned humanoid Creature, with strange purple markings across his body. He had black hair with white highlights and wore a red sort of tabard/tunic, secured by a gem affixed belt. As MajorTom did this, YO-LO touched his own screen. The screens and other stands vanished as the two were swarmed head to toe in what looked like blue and white numbers and letters. Once they dissipated, instead of the two males, there were two new beings. On MajorTom's side was the Creature Maxxor. On YO-LO's side was a muscular four-armed panther dressed in Hindu looking armor with dreadlocks and two bladed gauntlets on each of his top two arms.
"Ready to make this your final performance?" The panther- Phalslash- asked in a gravelly voice.
Maxxor answered in a deep tenor, "You wish!"
A flash of white light occurred and the match officially began.
In the beautiful forest, Maxxor trekked through it, taking care to keep an eye out on his surroundings. The Forest of Life was vast and overgrown with many hiding places for Phalslash to ambush him from.
Suddenly, as if tempting fate, a voice cried out, "Torrent of Water!"
Immediately, a surge of water appeared and slammed into Maxxor, slamming him into a tree.
Onscreen, a meter showing Maxxor's power and energy went from 60 to 55 as the attack dealt 5 points of damage.
Maxxor struggled to get up, coughing as he spat water out. "Rock Wave!" He then smashed his fists against the ground as jagged stones popped up, headed straight for Phalslash. The panther wasn't quick enough to dodge and was bashed into, leading to his own energy meter to drop by 30 points from 50 to just 20 energy.
The two glared at each other and prepared for another attack. This battle was just getting started.
Chaotic Theme Song and Title
In the center of Chaotic was a huge white and yellow building. Inside was a just as large area that had multiple screens showing various battles occurring all over Chaotic. Chairs and tables were situated everywhere with countless people, mainly teenagers, sitting or milling about. Small floating robots wandered around and sometimes brought food to the teens as they watched the matches or talked. Situated far to the right of the building was a platform with a few large circles on it. Some kids went over to those circles, pulled out what seemed to be a handheld device (similar to an advanced palm pilot), pressed a button on the devices and disappeared in a manner similar to how MajorTom and YO-LO changed. Some reappeared the same way too using these devoces which were dubbed "Chaotic Scanners." This place was the PortCort, a place for Chaotic Players to relax or plan in-between Chaotic Matches or to travel to the world of Perim, which also seemed to exist as well on another plane of existence.
Currently at one table, three other teens were watching the match between Maxxor and Phalslash on one of the screens. One was a slightly heavy set boy with brown shaggy hair and green eyes. He wore a yellow T-shirt underneath an open short-sleeved green and gray jacket, blue shorts and blue shoes with pale blue soles and dark blue parts. "Dudes," he spoke in a surfer tone. "This battle has been off the chain! An' considerin' all the ones YO-LO's got, that's sayin' somthin'!"
Another young man, this one much skinnier, turned to his friend. He had brown eyes and spiky fiery orange hair with golden streaks. He also had round, pink-tinted glasses, a green t-shirt over which he wore, an open sleeveless pale olive vest, dark green, slightly baggy cargo pants and brown dress shoes with lighter brown parts. "No kidding, Payton. YO-LO has been busting out moves like he busts out rhythms. His own OverWorlders are enough to give Tom's a run for their money."
The last member then spoke up. She was a pretty girl with apricot skin, mid back-length golden blonde hair and teal eyes. She wore a black midriff t-shirt over a white wrist-length shirt, red capris jeans with a blue belt that had a silver circular buckle and maroon loafers. She also wore 3 gold bangles on her left wrist and had a light yellow hair clip on the right side of her hair. "True, Kaz. Tom's already lost five Creatures and YO-LO still has two to his one Maxxor."
"MajorTee's been on the defensive in this battle, fer sure, Sarah," Payton nodded. "You remember that fight where he used Tangath Toborn against YO-LO's Pentrex? Put up a good fight, but in the end, that kitty was declawed!"
"That wasn't as bad as his fight against the same Creature as Aggroar. Now THAT was embarrassing," Kaz grimaced.
Sarah frowned. "Okay, yeah. Tom HASN'T been doing as great, especially against Pentrex, but he's still won other battles. He managed to win two in a row with Maxxor before now, remember?"
Kaz nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Remember that match of Sallta vs. Maxxor? That was as bad a match up as the before mentioned one."
Payton laughed. "No joke. You remember what Tom said before he finished her off?" His voice deepened as he mimicked Maxxor before returning to normal. "'Polly wanna get CRACKED?' HA! Genius!" He and Sarah shared a chuckle.
"Um, hey guys?" Kaz piped up worriedly as he turned back to the match. "Tom might be having a bit MORE trouble. Look!"
As Kaz spoke, a blue heptagon above Phalslash's picture vanished.
"Oh great!" Sarah groaned. "He's sacrificing his Mugician to boost up an elemental attack!"
As that happened, Phalslash smirked. "Time to sing a new song, man. One of victory! Hail Storm!"
Thrusting his four arms out, Phalslash sent out a stream of very large hailstones that struck Maxxor at an immense speed. The green man yelled as he was bowled over. The attack caused considerable damage.
The trio winced as Tom's energy went down to 30 all at once.
"Just perfect!" Kaz cried. "That attack already deals 10 damage ordinarily with an added 5 for the Water Element-"
"But add that Ability to add 10 more and Tom's got a huge problem!" Sarah added.
"Couple more hits like that and Tommy's Code!" Payton stated worriedly.
Maxxor struggled to get up as Phalslash leapt forward. "Clincher time, MajorTom." He raised one of his blades up high in preparation.
Commercial Brake and Return
Maxxor however quickly shouted, "Smokesurge!" Instantly, a stream of smoke came from his mouth and surrounded them. Phalslash coughed and then looked around as the smoke cleared, as his Energy drops to 15. Maxxor was gone.
"Smooth, yo" Phalslash complimented as he looked around for any signs of Maxxor. "I like a guy who knows how to use effects to put on a good show. But it's time for your chances to go up in smoke, man. Or Code rather."
Behind a tree, Maxxor was hiding from the panther. Inside of his mind, Tom, surrounded by bits of lettered and numbered Code, thought to himself, "Not if I use Mugic to turn this around!"
As he said that, one of Maxxor's own blue heptagons glowed before moving over to another blue heptagon in the corner of the board.
"Song of Resurgence! Heal me!"
As Tom called this out, a seven note melody sounded as a bright glow of light appeared and surrounded Maxxor. At once, his energy meter rocketed to 50.
Phalslash saw the green man leap out and immediately shouted "Electric Rain!" as he raised his arms and brought them down. With a clap of thunder, a storm of electric raindrops fell. However, with his energy renewed, Maxxor managed to dodge them more easily.
"Flame Orb!" Forming a sphere of fire in his hand, Maxxor tossed it at Phalslash where it scored a direct hit, dropping his energy to 5. But Maxxor wasn't done. "Purifying Mud!" With a sweep of his arms, Maxxor sent a wave of mud at the downed panther who yelled as he was engulfed in the stuff.
Suddenly, Phalslash exploded into a large stream of numbers and letters. He'd just gotten coded!
Another flash of white light and YO-LO and Maxxor were both back in the Drome. Maxxor triumphantly puffed out his chest as Code surrounded him and shrank him down back to his regular self.
"So much so singing that victory song, huh?" Tom laughed.
YO-LO glared before smirking. "Well maybe this is even sweeter. I owe ya for beatin' a few of my Creatures with your Maxxor. An' I'm sure you're ITCHIN' for payback against Pentrex, yo. This finale will be one boss concert to be sure."
"YO-LO, it is your attack. Activate your Location Randomizer," the Drome computer stated.
The rapper spun the dial as it picked the location. It landed on a picture of a bunch of pillars of ice inside a crevasse that looked like they would collapse at any time.
"The final Location shall be… the Snow Plates. YO-LO, choose your attacking Creature and target Creature."
"Time to end this! Pentrex attacks Maxxor!"
The boys touched the pictures of the Creatures and began their changes. Tom once more turned into Maxxor while YO-LO took on the form of a large humanoid with claws and a tail. The craziest thing was he seemed like a plane for a head.
"Pentrex and Maxxor! An ace vs. ace fight, yo! And I can tell you who'll be flyin' away with victory!" YO-LO stated in a deep voice that sounded like a motor was running as he talked.
"I'm going to send you into a tailspin!" Maxxor promised.
"Enough talk, gentlemen. Let the battle begin!"
The Snow Plates were certainly a change from the warm climate of the Forest of Life. Maxxor shivered as he walked along the icy wasteland.
"Brrr! Should have brought my coat," Maxxor shivered. He then looked down into the abyss below, seeing only darkness. "Yikes. Sure wouldn't want to fall down there."
"Then you better watch your step now!" a familiar voice sounded. Maxxor turned to see Pentrex flying toward him, a large red trail zooming behind him. "Torrent of Water!"
Like before, a wave of H2O burst from the missile like attachments on Pentrex's wrists. It slammed into Maxxor, which brought him down to 65 energy. It also knocked him over the edge of the cliff!
"Vine Snare!" Maxxor shouted as vines extended from his fingers to grab a chunk of ice on the surface.
Pentrex however snickered as he flew down near Maxxor. "Man, that's cute. Too bad you're not gonna make it. Wanna know why? Here's why! Winterclaw!" The monster plane blasted out a large claw construct made of ice which broke the vines. Maxxor let out a scream as he fell into the darkness.
Pentrex looked pleased at this, but then frowned. "Huh. Shouldn't he be Code, yo?" he asked, confused. Sure enough, no explosion of numbers and letters.
Suddenly, a cable launched up from below and a red and green whizzed past to land back on the ledge. It was Maxxor!
"Nice try! But thankfully this lets me get out of situations like that!" He raised his right arm to show off his BattleGear, which was a brown glove with a metal arrow pointing out.
"Aw snap! A Grappling Glove!" Pentrex cried.
"That's right! Now, Magma Might!" Maxxor sent an arc of magma at Pentrex, which struck him dead on and sent him to the ground, as well as bringing him down to 25 Energy.
Pentrex stood up and snarled. "Pebble Storm!" A flurry of rocks flew from the missiles, but Maxxor managed to jump over the stream. "Whirlwind Scythes!" Maxxor retaliated, spinning and swinging his arms as crescents of energy flew at Pentrex. The plane monster went down to 5 Energy like before.
In the PortCourt, the trio were cheering.
"Pentrex is going down!" Sarah cheered.
"Yeah, he may have been screamin' like a fighter jet before, but now he sputterin' like an old B-52!" Payton cackled.
Kaz however stopped. "Um, I hate to be the bearer of bad news yet again, but take a look!"
They turned and saw Pentrex getting back in the air as he raised his arms. "Unearthly Outrage!" At once, an orangish-brown orb appeared, charged and ready. Maxxor turned and ran, but he wasn't fast enough. It missed actually hitting him, but it knocked him off his feet.
Maxxor's Energy dropped down to 45 Energy, which the others winced at.
"I pride myself on my music," Pentrex chuckled. "So here's a little number called Flourish Of Fate!"
Pentrex's Mugic Counter went to a gray one over in the corner. Seven notes sounded and a flash of light blasted Maxxor back as he attempted to get back up. His Energy went to 35.
"And to add a little extra shock, Electro Discharge!"
A surge of lightning shot from Pentrex and toward Maxxor, electrocuting him and causing the green man to cry out and fall to his knees as his Energy dropped to 15.
"Just great!" Kaz groaned. "Pentrex just HAS to have the Air Element that allows him to deal 10 extra damage with that attack!"
Pentrex flew down as Maxxor struggled to get up. "Sorry to kill the mood, MajorTom," he gloated, "but this concert's reached its end!"
Commercial Brake and Return
Maxxor however shakily got back up to his feet, and thought to himself, "Not yet. I still have another Mugician left."
"Then how about I play a song of my own. It's sure to be a showstopper!" Maxxor's remaining blue heptagon glowed and moved over to another gray heptagon on the other side of his board.
"Song of Reciprocation!" Maaxor bellowed.
As soon as Maxxor shouted that, Pentrex became frightened as a seven-note melody played out. At once, a rainbow-colored beam of light struck down onto Pentrex. Pentrex screamed in agony as he exploded into letters and numbers.
YO-LO and Maxxor soon reappeared back in the Drome as the electronic voice announced, "The winner: MajorTom!" Code then surrounded Maxxor once again and shrank him down back to his regular self.
"Man! This is wack!" YO-LO cried. "I had no idea you had a Song of Reciprocation up yer sleeve!"
"Well, as my friend Payton would say, 'Always give them the unexpected.'"
YO-LO sighed. "Well, ya beat me fair and square, yo. Good game, man." He walked over and held out a hand.
"You too," Tom said, copying the motion and shaking the offered hand.
"You know, I could prob'ly write a killer song 'bout this," YO-LO mused.
Tom then frowned and held up his hands. "Th-that's not necessary. I-"
But was interrupted by YO-LO beginning to beatbox. He then stopped to start rapping:
"MajorTom, he is the bomb!
Got the skills to make you cry out for mom!
OverWorld might will give you a fright!
Master fighter with Maxx,
Now that's the facts!"
He struck a pose as he ended, leaving Tom speechless. "Well, waddaya think, yo?" he asked.
"It's … catchy?" Tom said, shrugging sheepishly.
Thankfully YO-LO didn't notice the awkwardness in the tone. "Sweet! I'll let ya know when it's done, man! Welp, better get goin'! Holla!" With that, he took his Scanner off the stand and left, still beatboxing away and trying to come up with a good rhyme for "Phalslash."
"Hopefully, I won't be around whenever it is," Tom muttered, rolling his eyes. He then grabbed his own Scanner and left for the monorail to the PortCourt.
As Tom approached the table, his friends stood up with smiles on their faces.
"Hey, hey! There he is! Wickedly awesome, Tee Meister!" Payton cheered.
"That was incredible, Tom! The way that you used that Song of Reciprocation to deal the same amount of damage that that Electro Discharge did!" Sarah said excitedly.
"Which led to him coding himself since he didn't have enough Energy to handle it! Genius!" Kaz cried.
"Thanks, guys," Tom chuckled as he sat between Sarah and Kaz. "And this is my sixth straight win in the Amzen Drome. One more and I can battle Codemaster Amzen!"
"And you're on your way to becomin' the best of the best, amigo!" Payton cheered. "Though you kinda already are." He then turned to a robot floating by. "Four Shimmark Shakes, my good bot! We're celebratin'!" The robot nodded and floated to get the drinks.
"Gotta say, this whole 'battling Amzen' thing is probably the most exciting thing that happened with you lately," Sarah said.
Tom lifted an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, bro. She kinda means since you came to Chaotic, things have gotten a little… well, chaotic," Payton shrugged.
Tom rubbed his chin. "I guess you have a bit of a point. I mean, a lot of stuff has happened since I came here."
"Yeah," Kaz agreed. "Like the stuff with Maxxor nearly losing all of his courage and needing to find that stone that held it in that labyrinth."
"Oh I remember that," Tom nodded. "That's when Maxxor was affected by Van Bloot's Decomposition Mugic."
"Then there were the times when Tommy beat not just one, but TWO Codemasters! Soon to be tres!" Payton added, holding up two, then three fingers.
"There was also that time when you and Kaz pretended you'd gone rogue. Which I STILL have not quite forgiven you for, " Sarah said, crossing her arms and frowning.
"Sarah, I told you. Kaz and I HAD to pretend for our undercover mission against those rogue Players. To do that, we couldn't tell anyone. Not even you and Payton," Tom sighed.
"There was also Chaor's invasion of Kiru City," Kaz piped up.
"Which didn't succeed, remember?" Tom chuckled.
"Hey, he still came close!" Kaz argued, not willing to let anyone, even his best friend, insult one of his hero's near greatest achievements.
"Not to mention the M'arrillian Invasion…" Sarah added, counting on her fingers.
"Nobody could forget THAT fiasco, trust me," Payton groaned.
"...the Tribal Alliance's rise and fall, the discovery and traveling to the past, the City of the Elements reappearing…" Sarah continued.
"And let's not forget the latest one with Vitog and Tangath Toborn's memorial," Kaz said.
"Yeah, I still haven't forgotten that," Tom said sadly as the others also looked down in remembrance of the warrior who'd given his life not once, but twice in protection of Perim. The latter time had only been three months ago.
The robot then returned with the Shimmark Shakes which everyone took, causing the mood to brighten a little.
"So are you guys basically saying I'm some kinda 'trouble magnet?'" Tom asked.
"We wouldn't say that. More like… an 'excitement magnet,'" Sarah smiled.
"She's right, buddy," Kaz nodded. "Since you came to Chaotic, things HAVE gotten a lot more exciting here and in Perim. But to be honest, I'm kind of glad that it's been quiet for so long. No crazy Creatures trying to invade. No huge plans for takeovers. No nuttiness here in Chaotic. Heck, not even Klay and Krystella have been up to anything."
He jerked a thumb to two older teens, one of whom was a young man of above average height with blond hair and pink eyes. He also had a goatee and backcombed hair and wore pink shades a little darker color than Kaz's, earrings, a cream hoodie and an orangish jacket. Overall, his appearance was rather creepy. The second person was a brunette girl with a ponytail, ruby lips and purple eyes and eyeshadow. She wore a purple sweatshirt, blue capris and a belt made of gold circles. Her cheek bones were visible, giving her a slight menacing appearance despite her slight good looks. Both had nasty smiles on their faces like they were up to something.
"True, but knowing them, they'll be up to something soon," Tom shook his head before smiling to the others. "Still, you can't denyI a little peace and quiet IS a good thing."
"True," Sarah nodded.
"To MajorTom and his bringing excitement into our lives, whether we want it or not!" Payton chuckled, raising his cup. The rest tapped theirs together with his.
"And to our three month vacation from the excitement!" Sarah said.
"Well, here's to hoping we have another few calm days," Tom chuckled as he drank his shake while the others laughed.
In the land of Perim, all WAS calm… for now. It was evening and at Lake Ken-I-Po, the frequent auroras were out en masse tonight. The tall spire that was the castle of the High Muge of the OverWorld, Najarin, rose high into the air over the placid waters.
Within a chamber, sitting at a desk and reading an old scroll was Najarin himself. The old mugician wore a long blue cape/cloak and a pointed hat like that of a wizard's. His skin is a lighter shade of blue, light blue eyes inset above a long, aged, white beard. On his long fingers were multiple rings.
A knock on the door sounded and Najarin answered without even looking up. "Come in."
The door opened and in stepped a young humanoid gazelle female. She wore a green almost plant like outfit, and had huge horns on the sides of her head to go with her cloven feet. She also has long blue hair that resembles dreadlocks.
"Pardon the interruption, Najarin, but you have a visitor," she said. She moved to the side and revealed said visitor. He was an anthropomorphic owl wearing a white robe under a green tunic, and a necklace with large blue beads. He looked quite strong and physically trimmed, and his beaked face and feathered hair seemed to show valor and bravery.
Najarin stood up and walked toward the bird-man. "Akkrean. So good to see you, my friend." He reached out and shook Akkrean's taloned hand.
"You as well, Najarin," Akkrean smiled.
Najarin turned to the gazelle girl. "Thank you, Katarin. Return to work, please."
She bowed her head with a smile and left.
Akkrean looked at Najarin. "She's a good girl, isn't she?"
"Yes. Reminds me a bit of her ancestor, Yisintha. Though that girl was certainly a touch more headstrong than Katarin." The Mugician took a seat at his desk again. "Still, she was a marvelous aid to me after…" He paused and looked down sadly. "... After what occurred a long time ago."
Akkrean frowned. He was one of the few that Najarin had trusted with the secret that he had once had a son who had vanished after trying to use the power of Dranakis Threshold to travel to the future, only for it to seemingly go horribly wrong. "Well, at least the family line brought some joy into your life, my friend."
Najarin nodded. "Yes. They have been aiding me as my assistants for many years after in addition to their service to the OverWorld. But surely you did not come all this way to discuss my past, Akkrean. What brings you up from the Forest of Life?"
"I have heard you haven't been seen for a while. I grew a tad worried," the owl-man said. He then shook his head. "And from the looks of things, you look like you haven't slept in days."
Najarin sighed. He DID have small bags under his eyes. "No. I have been reading these old scrolls concerning Kaizeph. They have kept me quite busy these few days." He then rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Plus, I have been having… disconcerting thoughts as of late that have kept me from resting."
Akkrean's eyes widened. "Visions?"
"No, merely thoughts. Though ones of deep concern," Najarin said. The mugician then turned to Akkrean with a serious look. "Tell me, Akkrean. What is your opinion on the fighting and the war between our tribe and the others of Perim?"
Akkrean seemed surprised by this. "Well, we must do what we can to gain the Cothica in order to make the OverWorld a force for peace and unity in Perim. If that means we must fight the other tribes for it, so be it."
Najarin stared for a bit, then stood again and walked to the window. "And if we find the Cothica, do you truly believe the fighting will cease? That the other tribes will immediately fall to our supposed wisdom and strength?"
Akkrean gain an unsure look. "Well, I… I would assume so. After all, the one who controls the Cothica controls all of Perim."
"And what if that does NOT occur as we hope?" Najarin asked, staring out the window. "What if, even with the Cothica, the other tribes STILL try to fight us and each other, particularly to take away the Cothica from the OverWorld? Who is to say in the long run, our rivals will not make a pact to destroy us and gain it, only to once more begin another war that may be worse than this one? And then the whole thing will begin again!" As he shouted this, his window cracked a little, surprising Akkrean. Najarin sighed again and turned to his friend. "I'm sorry. It's just… I grow weary of solons of fighting. Of using my mugical skills for aid in battle rather than to improve the OverWorld and all of Perim. I once thought peace was achieved after the M'arrillian Invasion, but of course the pride of not only the other tribes, but our own damaged any chances of that." He recalled a little plan he had come up with with his fellow Muge, the Mipedian Sobtjek, to allow for an essentially neutral party- the humans Kaz and Payton- to win the Perithon so as to potentially keep the other tribes from using their victory over the others and damaging the already tender alliance. Of course, that backfired spectacularly anyway and after that, the fighting continued. He had hoped the memorial of Tangath Toborn would make the others see that one Creature fought for ALL of Perim, not just his own tribe, but again, it was all for naught.
"But there ARE some Creatures of our tribe who have managed to become friends with others, are there not?" Akkrean asked. "I know Owis and Dardemus managed to make a rather strange friendship that led to Owis learning fire attacks. Nebres, Ghatup, Shimmark, Frafdo and Bierk are still friends to this day since they fought under Tangath Toborn, rest his soul. Why, even Aivenna and Nivenna have tried to get to know each other better after the Invasion. And of course, there is the famous friendship between those four Creatures Ystania, Kadafar, Ocolar and Zataran."
Najarin nodded. "Those are but a few that we know of where other tribes have set aside differences to become closer to peace than we have ever been." Akkrean noticed Najarin's wording and seemed to want to ask for clarification before the Mugician continued. "And that is all well and good, my friend, those friendships can be easily severed by tribal loyalties or commands from the leaders of the tribes. Unless peace between ALL of us reigns and the leaders can come to an agreement, TRUE peace will not be possible. At least not in my lifetime. And our continued search for the Cothica and the eventual finding of it may not bring peace, but simply more fighting and death, leading the path to that peace ever more out of our reach."
Akkrean stared sadly at his friend. Despite his fierce loyalty to the OverWorld, he couldn't help but agree that perhaps Najarin had a point. Owis's friendship with Dardemus and the Famous Four's friendship were good examples, but it seemed that only when Perim was in dire peril could the tribes put aside their differences and work together. Honestly, it truly was up to the leaders of the tribes to decide to allow those friendships to flourish. However, while Maxxor may be somewhat open-minded, he was quite certain that the OverWorld was the tribe that could lead to peace throughout all of Perim, regardless of what some might think. As for the others? Most likely not, particularly in the case of Chaor, the leader of the UnderWorld. Too often he had made attempts on the above-ground dwelling tribe, sending spies and warriors to attack or steal or some such. In fact, not too long ago, he himself had managed to prevent the UnderWorlder Ornathor from stealing a Mugic from Najarin. He wondered when the OverWorld would once again see an attack from them.
Ironically, at that moment, three members of the UnderWorld tribe were currently answering Akkrean's question as they climbed on of Najarin's towers. One was a blue Creature who had a leonine face and mane, huge horns, four burly muscular arms, and wore sinister looking armor. He also had red jagged tattoos on his arms and legs. In his bottom arms was a nasty looking spiked battle ax. This was Dabak.
The second was an UnderWorlder with a nasty looking face with a pointed chin, nose and ears. He had two long tusks poking out of his mouth. Like Dabak, he wore intimidating armor, this one with a skull theme on the shoulders, leg coverings and gauntlets and he too carried a wicked looking ax. His other most prominent feature was the green and orange changing flame flickering on his head. This was Wakkal.
Rounding the trio out, the last UnderWorlder was one with a huge build as big as Dabak's. a large red, gold and purple Creature as big as Dabak with spikes, huge pincers and a thick tail. He also had four madables on his back. One would say this almost made him look like a Danian, except he had a squidlike head rather than an insect one, complete with tentacles that were webbed together and two longer ones in back. This was Kakrip.
"Are you sure this is the right tower?" Wakkal asked in a scratchy voice.
"Of course it is! Nauthilax was watching this place for days to make certain of it!" Dabak growled. "Now we just get in, take as many Mugics as we can and then head back to hide while Najarin goes looking for us. Once he's gone, we'll head back to Cordac Falls and use the Windstriders we have stored there to escape.
Kakrip scratched his head with a long tentacle. "Um, how we get inside? There's no door," he said stupidly.
"Simple. We make our OWN door," sneered Dabak. He lifted his ax behind him and at once it became encased in black and red magma.
"Magma Hack!" he shouted. He slashed at part of the roof, devastating it and making an opening into the room below.
At the noise, Katarin looked up in shock from where she was rearranging books.
Najarin and Akkrean also heard the commotion.
"What was that?" Akkrean asked.
"Something that I fear may prove my point," Najarin said solemnly as he and Akkrean ran to a window which opened magically and allowed the two to fly out.
The UnderWorlders looked down and saw NUMEROUS Mugics glittering below. Many were OverWorld blue, but some were Danian brown, Mipedian yellow and even their own UnderWorld red.
"We've hit the jackpot!" Wakkal cheered.
"Quick!" Dabak stated. "Let's grab as many as we can carry before-"
"Before what?" an angry voice asked.
The UnderWorlders turned to see Najarin and Akkrean floating before them.
"Did you really think we wouldn't hear the huge explosion?" the latter asked dryly.
The three UnderWorlders prepared themselves for battle.
"I'll say this once. Leave here and return to the UnderWorld in peace or suffer the consequences," Najarin warned.
"Now why would we do that, you old coot, when we can just kill you and your friend and take all the Mugics without needing to worry?" Wakkal asked with a sinister smirk that made his ugly face even uglier.
"Yeah! Squash you, get the Mugis!" laughed Kakrip, causing the other two to roll their eyes at his stupidity.
"Just get them!" Dabak ordered, leading to Wakkal and Kakrip lunging their wrists forward, releasing orange streams of steam (Steam Rage) at Najarin and Akkrean who moved in the air to avoid the attack.
As Akkrean swung his arm forward, a tornado hurled its way towards the UnderWorlders "Aerosion attack!" The tornado struck Wakkal in the stomach, sending him flying right into the lake.
"Alacritous Force!" Dabak bellowed as he thrust his arm forward, firing a powerful white beam of light at Najarin. The Mugician, however, simply held his hands up and created a bluish-green barrier right in front of himself and Akkrean. Not missing an opportunity, Dabak shouted at his remaining tribemate, "Fire Shield Strikes!"
He and Kakrip then held their hands out in front of them as two green beams of light struck Najarin's barrier. The Muge attempted to hold it, but the combined attack proved too much, destroying it. The resulting blow knocked Najarin near the shores of the lake around the castle. Najarin sat up with a groan.
"Najarin!"
Turning, Najarin saw Katarin running forward and hopping off the bridge to the smaller island below, a Liquilizer in hand. She knelt before her mentor. "Are you alright?"
Najarin nodded. Katarin helped Najarin get back to his feet, as he flew back into the air.
"Katarin, stay down here! Akkrean and I will handle this! Defend the castle grounds!"
She nodded and prepared her Liquilizer as Najarin flew back up.
As he flew off, Wakkal climbed out of the water onto shore, coughing. She aimed her BattleGear at the waterlogged UnderWorlder who sneered at her.
"So, the little girl wants to play the hero of the castle, huh?" He prepared his ax and held it out as his head flame flared. "Well, let's see how you do, shall we?"
As this occured, Najarin flew up to where Akkaren and the other two were battling. Swinging his wrist, a bright blue ball of energy was flung at Dabak's feet. The ground underneath Dabak turned to ice and exploded a second later, knocking Dabak back off the roof (Ice Sheet).
Kakrip looked in horror as his commander was knocked back. As he was distracted, Kakrip could hear Akkrean shout, "Obscuring Winds!" He turned around only to be blown back by a powerful gust of wind, sending him down as well.
"Hurry! We cannot lose them!" Najarin shouted.
Down below on the castle bridge, Dabak and Kakrip groaned as they sat up.
"We gonna run now?" Kakrip asked.
"Of course not! We can still take them!"
"But what about Wakkal?"
"He can take care of himself!" Dabak snapped. "Knowing him, he's probably running back to the UnderWorld by now!"
"Then perhaps you should join him!" Najarin said as he and Akkrean flew down.
Dabak sneered. "You may be tough, Najarin, but we're not without tricks of our own!" A red spirit-like being flew out of Dabak's body and turned to fire before flying right into Dabak's chest. All at once, a red glow surrounded Dabak. "Now I'm REALLY fired up!" he cackled as his top two hands erupted in flames.
"Najarin, he sacrificed his Mugician to gain the Fire Element!" Akkrean cried.
"Now, Kakrip! Tornadinferno!" The two then flung their arms out as a large spiral of fire captured the two OverWorlders. The two spun around and around before the fiery tornado dissipated, leading to Najarin and Akkrean to be flung hard onto the other side of the bridge.
As this occurred, Katarin and Wakkal continued their own fight. Katarin blasted Wakkal with watery blasts from the Liquilizer, but Wakkal managed to beat them away. He swung his ax at Katarin who dodged a few times, but one swipe managed to get her Liquilizer, destroying the gear.
"Ha! So much for that!" the UnderWorlder laughed. However, Katarin leapt up and sent a kick with an outline of her hoof which hit Wakkal in the face (Flash Kick).
"I'm not as weak as you think!" she stated.
Wakkal stood up with a snarl. He leapt into the air and shouted, "Stormquake!" His fist hit the ground and a purple glyph appeared, leading to it to crack and purple lightning appearing, arching towards Katarin. She attempted to escape, but unfortunately wasn't fast enough as the bolts struck her. With a scream, Katarin slammed into the ground by the shore, waves splashing around her. "You may not be weak, but I'm not either, nor am I dumb!" Wakkal laughed. He then pulled out a red UnderWorld Mugic. He sent it into the air and similar to what happened with Dabak, a red spirit flew out of him. This time however, it flew into the heptagon.
"Canon of Casualty!" Wakkal shouted as seven notes played. A reddish-orange light beamed at Katarin, making him laugh in triumph as she was hit once more, this time twitching and screaming in pain. "We came to steal Mugics, but that doesn't mean we didn't bring any of our own!" Wakkal sneered.
Katarin struggled to stand. "P-Power Pulse!" She sent green fists of energy, but Wakkal dodged them easily.
"Pyro Balls!" he shouted, swinging his ax and sending smaller orbs of fire at Katarin. They hit her directly and she rolled on the ground before coming to a stop, barely standing now. Wakkal then clipped his ax to his back and put his hands out in front of him. Strange symbols surrounded them, eventually turning into a glowing spear (Blair Spear). "Let's see you get out of THIS!" he smirked. Katarin looked up only to see Wakkal firing the spear at her!
As Najarin and Akkrean landed, the owl-man looked up and saw Wakkal aiming the spear at Katarin. All of a sudden, he gained a burst of adrenaline to fly forward as Wakkal shot it at her.
"NO!" he shouted. As the spear neared, he leapt in front of it, causing it to pierce him in the shoulder.
"AKKREAN!" Katarin screamed.
Commercial Brake and Return
Upon hearing Katarin's cry, Najarin looked up with wide eyes as he saw his friend get pierced from the attack. Akkrean cried in pain, clutching his shoulder as blood leaked out onto his clothes. Just then, Dabak and Kakrip jumped off the bridge to see the downed duo with Wakkal standing over them.
"Well, at least you didn't run off, Wakkal," snarked Dabak.
Wakkal laughed. "And miss this fun? I don't think so." He turned to Kakrip. "Give him a taste of Web Cocoon!"
"Okay!" Kakrip said. As Akkaren was trying to get up, the UnderWorlder shot blazing hot silk from an area under his head. Akkaren began to scream in pain as he was burned. He rolled near the edge of the shore as the wave rolled in and doused the fire, but Akkaren soon stopped moving.
"No, no," Katarin whispered as she watched helplessly.
"Oh, too bad. Looks like the bird didn't get cooked how we would have liked," Dabak mocked, causing the others to laugh.
Unbeknownst to them, Najarin, seeing Akkrean and Katarin get pummeled and beaten like this fueled something in him. His eyes narrowed in fury and he then floated into the air, the UnderWorlders too busy gloating to notice.
"ENOUGH!" Najarin shouted. The three stopped cackling and turned to see Najarin floating above them with a look of pure anger as wind rippled around him. "Just this evening, I was bemoaning how so many Perimites are uncertain and unwilling to accept peace like others have. However, it is clear to me that there are some who are completely UNABLE to UNDERSTAND it! So if you are so willing to speak the language of violence, then I shall speak. Your. LANGUAGE!"
The trio looked a little less uncertain now as the winds picked up. "Uh, NOW we run?" Kakrip asked.
Suddenly, Najarin lifted his arms into the air as water from the lake swirled around him and turned green. "Deadwater Devastation!" Najarin roared as he surged his hands forward. The tidal wave of glowing water rammed into Wakkal and Kakrip, though Dabak managed to dodge. A soggy Kakrip struggled to get up before falling unconscious. Wakkal, once more dripping, got his ax and used it to shakily stand.
"Dabak! We have to go! This was a bust!" Wakkal shouted.
Dabak seemed reluctant to go, glaring at Najarin, but upon seeing one of his comrades down and another barely on his feet as well as Najarin preparing for what seemed like another go, he snarled and jumped toward Kakrip, hoisting the large creature onto his shoulder with his immense strength. Wakkal hobbled toward him.
"Just you wait, Najarin!" Dabak roared at the Mugician. "You'll pay for this! Once the UnderWorld rules Perim, you'll get what's coming to you!" He then opened his mouth and let loose a violent, smoky spray at Najarin (Ash Torrent). He grabbed his cape and covered his mouth. Once the dark spray dissipated, Najarin saw they were gone, allowing the glow in his eyes to fade. He wasn't sure how they were going to get off the island to the further shore, but frankly, he didn't care about that for now. There were more important things.
"Najarin! Quickly! Akkrean-" Before Katarin had even finished her sentence, Najarin swooped down to land next to his friend where his assistant was kneeling next to him. Akkrean was covered in burns and a bit of the formerly flaming silk had a bloodstain on it where he was stabbed and it was continuing to leak out.
"Stand back!" Najarin ordered. Katarin scooted back a bit, though she winced a little as Najarin used his magic to rip the threads apart. He then knelt down himself to look at the badly mutilated owl-man. He didn't seem to be moving at all, simply being lapped by the waves as they rolled in.
"He's not…" Katarin asked worriedly, seemingly unwilling to finish the question.
Just then, Akkaren stirred a bit with a weak groan.
"No. He's alive, thank goodness, but just barely. If we do not do something quickly, he will not recover and be gone for good. I will use my healing magics to try and speed up his body's reactions, but we need Mugic as well to bolster it." He turned to Katarin. "My dear, I will send you to the room where the UnderWorlders were breaking into. In the far left side of the room, there is a brown box with a blue ribbon with a seal of the OverWorld crest. Find it and when you do, call out and I will bring you back at once. Do you understand?"
"Yes, of course," Katarin nodded to her master.
Najarin then waved his hand and Katarin was covered with a sparkling light that sent her flying up at high speed to the opening in the roof.
Najarin then turned to Akkrean who was still moaning softly. Raising his arms, a soft blue glow covered him.
"Please hang in there, old friend," Najarin murmured.
Katarin cried out as she sped towards the hole in the roof. Upon landing in the room, the glow dissipated and she leaned on a wall to settle her stomach.
"Ugh! I don't know HOW Najarin manages that," she groaned. But she knew she couldn't think about that. She quickly ran to the left side… or at least what she hoped was the left side. "Box with a blue ribbon and seal, box with a blue ribbon and seal, box with a blue ribbon and seal," she murmured as she searched frantically. She couldn't risk wasting too much time looking. Akkrean's life was on line.
Just then, she spotted the box that had the blue ribbon and a seal OverWorld crest (a blue circle with a dot in it and a crescent shape in the top left corner) on it. She grabbed it and went to a window nearby, opening it to call out, "NAJARIN! I FOUND IT!" She waved the box to show him.
Suddenly, she was covered in a glow and lifted up once more.
"Oh no. Not again," Katarin moaned as she was quickly zipped down to where Najarin and Akkrean were.
There, Najarin was continuing to try and heal Akkrean. The bleeding seemed to have stopped, but that still didn't seem to be enough to fully heal the owl-man. Plus, Najarin's own energy was beginning to get weaker, struggling to keep putting healing magics into his friend's body. Soon thankfully, Katarin poked her head out a window and announced she had the Mugic. Najarin quickly paused in his healing to wave a hand in order to rapidly bring Katarin to him. As she landed, she wobbled a tad on her feet, almost as if she was about to keel over or be ill, but thankfully, she managed to regain her balance.
"Here Najarin," she said as she quickly gave him the box. Najarin floated the box over and magically broke the seal. The ribbon and seal fell to the sand and the lid of the box soon joined it. As Katarin watched, the mugician pulled out a blue mugic, the heptagon-like jewel sparkling. Looking down at Akkrean, Najarin allowed the mugic to fly into the air as, just like Wakkal, a spirit-like being left Najarin's body and flew to the jewel.
"Ecstatic Fanfare! I beg you! Heal Akkrean!" Najarin called, his hands raised high. A seven-note melody then began to play and at once, a beam of bright yellow light flashed down onto Akkrean. Katarin watched in awe as the owl-man floated up a little. At once, his burns all seemed largely gone. Once the light finally dimmed and faded, Akkrean was gently placed back on the ground. Najarin and Katarin knelt down to see if their attempts were successful to save their friend. At first, Akkrean still didn't move and the two shared a sorrowful look, believing that they had been too late and that even if Akkrean was healed, he may never wake up.
Suddenly, the owl-man bolted up, coughing and breathing hard, causing the others to move back in shock. However, once that shock wore off, they were overjoyed.
"Akkrean, you're alright!" Katarin exclaimed.
"Y-yes, I… think so," Akkrean said as he tried to stand, but nearly collapsed. Thankfully Najarin caught him.
"Easy, my friend," he said as he looped an arm around his waist, which he also did to Katarin. They all then floated (gently this time) onto the bridge and, upon setting down, Akkrean looked at them with a smile.
"Thank you. Both of you," he said. He then frowned at Najarin. "I am… sorry that that seemed to prove how right you were about how difficult peace will be to achieve, Najarin."
Najarin sighed and Katarin looked at him confused. "What does he mean?"
Najarin shook his head. "Never you mind, my dear. For now, we can rest. The battle this day was won."
'But he is right,' Najarin thought. 'If anything, it will likely take a miracle to bring Perim to peace now.'
Unbeknownst to any of the Creatures, when Najarin used Ecstatic Fanfare, energy from the Mugic also struck some of the waters of Lake Ken-I-Po as they lapped the shores. Once the beam of light and Mugic energy faded, a small patch of glowing light remained in a small patch of the lake. As the waters swirled and moved, the energy swirled around the area. It soon made its way down to the bottom.
Deep below the floor of the lake lay the UnderWorld Location of Everrain. Here, the lake waters constantly dripped down into the cavernous space in a never-ending downpour, giving the location its name. As such, there were plenty of puddles and lakes, around which grew huge weedy plants and ferns and even large trees. During this time, the raindrops for a moment glowed yellow as it fell on some of the plants around the Location. As this happened, something incredible happened; one of the large fungi growing actually seemed to grow arms from vines and STRETCHED! Suddenly, another plant pulled up its roots and began to walk around! Before long, numerous , flowers, fungi, trees and numerous others began to "wake up" and walk forward, becoming a whole group as they moved to gather in a large group in the center of the Everrain. They then all looked around at each other in surprise, confusion and curiosity.
Without a doubt, a new chapter in Perim history had begun. And perhaps the beginning of the miracle Najarin wished for.
Welp, that's that. For those of you who have watched the show, imagine the huge dramatic orchestral of the theme playing during this last scene. As you can see, one of Allan's new tribes has awakened and we'll see how both Chaotic and Perim change from these new Creatures arrival.
Also, for those of you who have seen the show and the third season episode, "Yesterday's Heroes," you might know of the Creature Najarin spoke of, Yisintha. She's the upset one who told Tom what Khaal had done with kidnapping the OverWorlders to work in the mines. A reviewer for the episode on YouTube commented that she looked like a young Katarin. I knew that was impossible, but figured maybe she could be an ancestor of sorts. The idea of Yisintha becoming Najarin's new apprentice and helper after Afjak vanished and somewhat filling a hole in his heart was sweet as well as a good explanation as to why Katarin is often seen around Maxxor (it obviously couldn't be romantic, so student and teacher/slight familial love like father and daughter seemed right).
In addition, the thing with Najarin conspiring with Sobtjek to have Kaz and Payton win the Perithon was an idea suggested in TV Tropes under the Fridge Brilliance page. It makes sense to me, so I made it canon.
Finally, funny thing, Allan made up the name YO-LO as a random thing, but the minute I saw it, I KNEW "rapper"! So I just gave him something of a stereotypical rapper attitude, complete with lingo and movements. Apologies to any real rappers out there 😅.
If you want to check out Allan's DeviantArt account to see what new Creatures, Mugic, BattleGear, Attacks and Locations he made that feature in this chapter, do so and leave a comment on his page about what you think. More are definitely to come in this story and the rest of the future seasons.
Read and review if able (constructive criticism only, please).
