Chapter 7/ Where the heck did our gear go? / Location: Not Specified.

[Current Perspective: Odin (Flashback 2 years after Fargor and Balthar's arrival)]

I'm glad I picked these two men. They're getting my order done and I couldn't be happier. The village looks like it's advancing and becoming uncorrupt. Getting results in just two years? I hope it doesn't take any longer though...It may ruin my plans.

[Present Time]

It's time...It's almost fully complete and with this new Robert fellow, they will surely finish off this quest. I just hope they don't go searching for the gear that Fargor and Balthar hid in the Earth...

[Perspective Change: Robert Niles / Location: Arched Bridge]

We arrived at the site that Balthar and Fargor believe they put their items at. We all started pulling away the soil with our hands. We dug and dug until...we couldn't dig anymore. When they realized this, they came to the conclusion that their items were stolen.
"We need to find the man who is responsible!" Fargor shouted.
"I say when we find him, I'll gut his brain out with Dynasty!" Balthar announced in defiance.
"NO!" I shouted. "We are Galactic Time Warp Army Troops. DID YOU FORGET THAT!?" Damn it. They make me so angry sometimes. Oh great...I think I broke them again.
They will be okay, give them some time to think.
I know. Wait don't they have second halves of their brain too? I mean, they are part of the GTWA.
It's for them to know and for us to acknowledge. It's their business and privacy and we shouldn't invade it.
You're right. I'm glad I have you as a second half.
Aha! Don't get to sappy on me there Robert.
I keep forgetting you have multiple personalities...

[Perspective Change: Balthar]

Brain...You understand what Robert just said?

Yeah...He said you guys abandoned your past...
No shit Sherlock?
Hey don't give me shit. I'm your second half! Besides, Robert is just confronting you. He needs you to calm down and look over things. Not an issue for the scholarly and heroic James that I know is it?
Nope. I just have a feeling of remorse. I feel lost again. Second half, I need you to guide me once again. Can you handle this incompetent fool?
Use the force? Definitely.
Remind me to make sure your Star Wars marathons are cut slightly shorter.
 . Return to reality bucko. It's Star Wars time for me.
Sure thing there master Yoda.

[Perspective Change: Fargor]

'Ello Old chap!
Are you okay John?
Jimmies_exe has stopped responding.
Ugh not this again. Over ride protocol two hundred fifty-three.
 Jimmies_exe has been rustled.
Rebooting...
Online.
Ugh, why do I feel like I got hit by a British Segway?
That's because you were speaking in a British accent for a bit. Are you alright?
Yeah...So did you hear what Robert said?
What about what?
You and I need to be in sync a little more.
What do you mean?
Pay attention please.
Sorry due now what are we going to do about Robert and the gear?
DID YOU DO THAT ON PURPOSE?
No...I just wanted to make you mad
Seriously man, let's stay focused. Anyway suggestions on Robert?
Go in for the kill.
WHAT?
Oh sorry, I meant to say go in for the thrill. My bad.
Shut up. I don't need your grieving.
No you need me to help you. Which is what I'm currently doing.
Yeah right. Anyway, I think we should suggest to Robert that we should ask Odin for help. Maybe he could help locate our stolen goods?
Sounds like a plan there Captain.
Sweet. Let's go ask him.
Actually its only you remember? I'm just the second half of your brain. What do you think, I'm just going to walk beside you and pretend I'm another species?
I'll let you think of that. Well, see you later second half.
I hate when you make me think more than I need to.
I know but it's funny.
I came back to reality and so did Balthar? Our brains are so in sync. Spacing out at the same time just like in college. Anyway, I looked at Robert and suggested,
"We should probably ask Odin about where our missing equipment is."
Robert looked at me in wonder and said,
"That is a GREAT idea! How would I contact him-"
He was interrupted by a huge, radiant, blinding flash that invaded our midst. We all jumped back in fear that a chaos rift was forming. We then hear a faint voice that gradually grew louder as the flash dimmed. It was Odin.
"It is I, Odin. I'm here to tell you what happened to your gear."

[Perspective Change: Odin]

"It all started on a evening similar to this one. The stars were aligned and organized in a matter that made them sparkle like a man who heard his name chanted by all who basked in his glory. The landscape was rocky and charred from a attack by a greedy kingdom from the far northern regions. These men," I pointed at Balthar and Fargor. "...were coming along to this very bridge when they stopped and conversed about their issues ahead. As they were finished talking, they parted a small distance away from each other before digging at the Earth below them. Before long, they both obtained enough soil to make a large hill. There they laid their gear, nestled in the Earth below their feet. Once the gear was placed, they took the soil and shoved it into the holes they created. When the manual labor ceased, the two left the scene in a disappointed matter. I felt a strange feeling that I needed to secure the gear so that no man nor beast could tinker with their dangerous and unlimited power. When you left the main hall to your sleeping quarters, I decided to go to the site and take the gear to a place where no man other than I could reach it."
I waited for their reaction to my speech. Most of them were interested and intrigued while others were just shocked. The silence was cut when Balthar spoke up. He said,
"Odin, we really need the gear in order to complete the quest for the King."
"Ha! No you don't. You've been able to manage so far with your axes and swords, what more do you need? Go and complete the quest. You will see your weapons returned to you as a reward," I said. I then departed with another flash.

[Perspective Change: Robert Niles]

I seriously Have to get used to the damn flashes. They are so overpowering that it honestly wants me to punch someone in the face...not that I want to at the moment. I decided to speak up and try to break the awkward silence that was at hand.
"Well, we now know who has your gear..."
"Let's head back to the RV. We need rest for our adventure tomorrow," Fargor said in a shallow tone.
Everyone except Jaesen and Waltor turned to head to the RV. Before they could make a run for it, I turned and asked,
"Where do you think you two are going?"
"We are going to get a new weapon for our adventure. We will meet you at the RV, okay?" Jaesen answered.
"Okay just get back by eleven!" I shouted.
"No problem," Waltor replied.
I motioned for the rest of the crew to head to the RV while I stayed in the shadows. I had a hunch that they were hiding something from us and I wanted to know what it was. I had a little reconnaissance mission to undertake.

[Perspective Change: Jaesen]

I really don't like this Robert guy. He's so demanding and always acts like a boss around us. I think this 'weapon' we are going to purchase will shut his trap for good. Because I know that my brother and I would not want him to know of our secret.

[Perspective Change: Robert Niles]

I watched them from a distance, using my dialogue and vision enhanced goggles. 'I love these things,' I thought. I turned the volume to a comfortable level and waited for them to make their purchase. As I looked, I saw the trader give the two a bottle of green muck. The muck was called 'The Death's Giver'. I think that muck is poison. I decided to ask my second half about the situation.
Hey second half. I have a dilemma here and I need your input on it.

Gladly. What is the problem Robbie?
Wait...Did you just give me a nickname?
Yeah. Problem Robbie?
Oh you troll. No, I'm just wondering what you thought about them buying a bottle of poison at the marketplace.
I got a hunch that they aren't on your side...
What?
Well, whenever you guys seem to interact. You shove Jaesen and Waltor off like they are background characters in a book. I think they desire some more attention from you guys.
That does make sense but what should I do? Should I confront them?
Definitely. Just don't tell them you were spying on them. That would make the whole situation seem creepy and I know for a fact that you are not a CREEEPER.
Thanks second half.
No problem. Now, I have to return to my late night show called 'Everyone hates Beiber'.It's a new episode and I do not want to miss it!
Is that guy always getting ragged on?
You bet. Ryan Beiber always gets ragged on. Don't you know this?
I'm learning something new from you every day. This must be from your multiple personalities.
I know and it keeps you alive.
Yeah I know. Well, I got to go confront the two mischievous figures when they get to the RV. Have fun watching Beiber getting ragged on.
You bet I will. You better hurry before they arrive there first.
 I return back to reality and run as fast as I can to the RV. I think it's time to expose these two for who they truly are.

A/N : Man, lots of investigating going on here. I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far! Many thanks go to for allowing me to post my work on here. Also a big shout out to my friend Mac for spreading this story out. Big thanks man. I got major plans for the next few chapters since they will start going on their adventure. By the way...Should I add a comedy tag in here? Because these brain conversations are going to get a whole lot more...funnier.
