Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
The Stalkers lead Laser Wizard and his group through a series of tunnels, until they came to what appeared to be a wide desert of some sort. Laser Wizard and his companions were baffled by the sight of the desert and wondered how something like that came to be. There was surly some strange and powerful magic at play. The Stalkers lead the group into the desert and after walking for roughly an hour, they stopped. Laser Wizard and his group looked around at their surroundings in confusion, they were in the middle of nowhere. Before anyone could ask any questions the air a few yards in front of the group began to ripple and waver and the next thing anyone knew a large ancient looking castle appeared before the group. The explorers stared at it in awe.
"It was cloaked in illusion magic." Muttered Laser Wizard.
The Stalkers lead everyone inside and through some decorative hallways. More Stalkers roamed the hallways along with some skeletons wearing armor and some brown and green goblin-like creatures with scaly tails. The group was lead into a large room that appeared to be the throne room. At the end of the room there was a grey stone throne with a tall skeletal figure sitting in it that must have been the Gunslinger Lich the Stalkers served. The Gunslinger Lich was a grey skeleton with a human skull with no lower jawbone and no legs. He was wearing a black duster that was wide open, a red bandana, and a black hat with a large rim. The Gunslinger Lich also had two large bullets shoved into his eye sockets that glowed with a faint neon green energy. As the group approached the throne they noticed that the Gunslinger Lich appeared to be writing something in a red book. The Gunslinger Lich stopped writing in his book and floated off his to take a better look at his guests. He eyed each member of the group and then his gaze lingered on both Beast and Toffee.
"I...remember you two from long ago." Said Gunslinger Lich in a voice that sounded like the Lich's voice with a bit of a southern accent.
"His energy is like our masters." Said Beast.
"And his voice sounds nearly the same." Said Toffe.
"How can this be? Is this guy possibly from another universe?" Asked Laser Wizard.
"This universe is my home universe." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"How did you come into being?" Asked Beast.
"I was once a part of the being you call the Lich. I was one of his horns and I was broken off by a hero named Billy. Billy took me as a trophy and I tried to corrupt him, but his will was too strong. He soon realized how dangerous I was and he decided to destroy me. Billy planned to take me to a great volcano outside Ooo and throw me into, but on the way there I managed to escape him and I fell through a crack on Mt. Ebott and landed in the Underground. I was alone in the Underground for quit some time, until a wizard called the Gunslinger found me. I managed to tempt and corrupt the Gunslinger. With my knowledge the Gunslinger grounded the horn into powder and combined it with gunpowder to make a bullet. The wizard then shot himself in the chest with the bullet and I took over his body and turned it into what you see before you." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"A interesting story." Said Beast.
"So you know who we are?" Asked Toffee.
"I know who you and Beast are. The others with you are strangers to me. I only have the Lich's memories up to the point he fought Billy." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"I see." Said Toffe.
"What exactly are your plans now?" Asked Beast.
"I am currently working on creating a powerful army of Stalkers, skeletons, and Minions to destroy the barrier that prevents anyone from leaving the Underground and then we shall go conquer the world. I hope to find the Lich, so I may be absorbed back into his being." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"What barrier?" Asked Laser Wizard.
The Gunslinger Lich gave a short summary about the monsters from another universe and the barrier that ended up traveling along with them. He then asked Laser Wizard's group why they were in the Underground.
"We are looking for a powerful magical item called Horror's Hand. Have you heard of it?" Said Laser Wizard.
"I have heard of this weapon." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"Do you know where we can find it?" Asked Laser Wizard with a bit of excitement.
"I do not, though I am associated with some allies who might be able to help you out in finding Horror's Hand." Said Gunslinger Lich.
Before anyone could ask about the allies a silhouette of a medium size triangle with a single eye and little arms and legs appeared floating in the air above.
"Dad?" Thought Alcor as he looked up at the triangular being.
"Well. Well. Looks like we have a full house!" Said the newcomer as he floated down to the ground.
The newcomer wasn't Bill, though he appeared to be the same kind of race as him. The being was a white triangle with little black arms and legs.
"Who is this?" Asked Beast.
"The names Yung Venuz, though you can just call me Y.V. for short." Said the triangle.
"You wouldn't happen to know anyone named Bill Cipher would you?" Asked Alcor.
"Bill Cipher? Oh yeah! I remember him. His an old friend of mine, though I haven't seen him in a few billion years." Said Y.V..
"That's a long time." Muttered Samantha.
"So how do you know old Bill?" Asked Y.V. looking at Alcor.
"I'm his son." Said Alcor.
"For reals?" Asked Y.V..
Alcor just nodded his head.
"Y.V. what do you have to report?" Said Gunslinger Lich.
"Right down to business. Alright I saw that mercenary group lead by Blockner meet up with a strange new group of newcomers who just arrived and lead them towards the town. There was also a shadow creature spying on them." Said Y.V..
"Can you describe the group?" Asked Laser Wizard.
Y.V. gave a full physical description of the group and Laser Wizard was able to figure out that it was a group from Castle Lemongrab and the shadow creature was most likely a servant of Magica. Y.V. continued on with his report.
"I saw Lord Crump along with a few dozen X-Nauts, Fawful, Midbus, and one of the Sisters looking for one of the Crystal Stars. Then I saw that witch Misery and Balrog gather up a small army of Mants and some muscle heads and are about to march on Toriel's place. Also there seems to be a lot of guests at Toriel's house."
"Describe the guests." Said Laser Wizard.
Y.V. gave a description of the guests and Laser Wizard recognized them as Finn and a few other heroes and wizards.
"You know these strangers?" Said Gunslinger Lich.
"We do. One group is comprised of heroes and the other is a group of criminals. Both are most likely looking for Horror's Hand or other powerful magical items." Said Laser Wizard.
"We it looks like some trouble is about to drop in on those heroes and deal with them for you. Problem solved!" Said Y.V..
"Don't underestimate those heroes. They have survived countless battles and bested many foes." Said Laser Wizard.
"Then we must take them as a serious threat and I have just the plan to deal with them." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"You do?" Asked Toffee.
"I do. Beast I need to feed one of your turtles to a certain child." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"What's so special about this child?" Asked Beast.
"This child already has a great deal of darkness within her as well as a unique appetite, but she keeps it locked within herself. Your turtles are the keys to unlocking this darkness and it will be set lose onto the heroes." Said Gunslinger Lich.
"I'll see to it." Said Beast before he and Y.V. left the throne room.
The Gunslinger Lich let out a cold chuckle.
Back in the ruins a large fat human women stumbled around holding a large kitchen knife. The women wore high heel shoes and a tattered and torn pink dress with red spots. She had blonde puffy dirty hair and red bloodshot eyes.
"Have to find Isaac. Have to kill Isaac. Have to save Isaac." Muttered the women over and over again as she walked through the ruins in the direction of Toriel's house.
