Aki' Nanm: I know, I know... *eyes turn purple* kIlL hIm.
*And now, we re-join our heroes.*
Travis: *stabs the rune-covered trident at a chaos brother* DIE!
Chaos Brother: *dodges* bUt I dOn'T wAnT tO!
Travis: Please? :D
Chaos Brother: No. <_<
Travis: Fine, be that way. *shoots an arrow through the chaos brother's chest, killing it.*
Dayn: Are you done yet?
Travis: Yeah, I'm done.
Jerrica: About damn time! Is it REALLY necessary for you to slaughter EVERYTHING?
Travis: Yes.
Jerrica: Just checking.
*Two ant warriors fall from the ceiling*
Travis: O_o Ummm, hi?
Dayn: ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTS!
Giant Ant Warrior: SKREEEEEE! (THAT'S HIM!)
Giant Ant Warrior 2: SKrEeEE! (LET US KILL HIM AND HIS FRIENDS, MY BROTHERS!)
Travis: Hahahaha!
Dayn: What did they say?
Travis: These two things plan on killing us! AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
*Suddenly thousands of Giant Ant Warriors and Queens climb out of the ground and smash through walls*
Jerrica: Oh sh-
Travis: *pulls Jerrica out of the way of an attacking Ant queen* Are you okay?
Jerrica: i'm fine... O_O
Travis: Good. *impales ant warrior with the rune covered trident*
Dayn: *blocks an attack from an ant queen* These things are stronger and faster than the one I've fought in the past. *swings sword at an ant warrior, who easily dodges*
Ant Queen: Skreeeeeee. (We've been getting stronger, just to kill you... Dayn.)
Dayn: What did it say?
Travis: They've been getting stronger to kill you.
Dayn: OVER MY DEAD BODY!
Travis: Not... the best thing to say... in this situation... *punches ant queen in the face*
Hawkslayer: *stabs an ant in the head* DIE! >.O
Jerrica: I don't think we're getting anywhere... *grabs an ant and throws it into a wall*
Travis: *casts fire bolt and fries a row of ants*
Ant Queen2: Skreee! Skreeeee! (Kill the Wizard first! He's the biggest threat!).
Travis: Good luck wit- *WHAM* ow... what in the hell was that!?
Jerrica: Ummm, Travis...
Travis: What?
Jerrica: Your arm is bleeding...
Travis: *looks at his arm* And so it i- *WHAM* DAMMIT!
Dayn: They seem to be targeting you.
Travis: Because I'm the biggest thr-*grabs an ant by its head and throws it into another ant* -eat to them.
Dayn: Despite the fact that I'm the one who insanely murders them?
Travis: Yeah. I guess it's because I can take out multiple ants in one sh-
*Another ant hits Travis in the stomach, knocking him backwards*
Dayn: Travis! Are you okay!?
Travis: I'm...*cough* fine... *is swarmed by ants*
Dutchess: NOO! *jumps at the pile of ants where Travis was, only to be knocked back by an ant queen*
Hawkslayer: Sounds like he's getting beat up pretty bad. o.0
Dayn: Dammit! We have to save h-
Travis: SPONTANIOUS COMBUSTION!
Dayn: -im?
*Epic explosion of ant parts*
Jerrica: Wow. That was awe- *is hit in the face by ant remains* -some...
Dayn: Hey! That's my spell!
Jerrica: Mrff mrfffs mrf! ^_^
Dayn: It's rude to talk with your mouth full.
Jerrica: *swallows* I said "Ant tastes good.".
Dutchess: >_>
Hawkslayer: Umm, we're still VASTLY outnumbered... 0.0
*The ants begin to regroup*
Travis: *stands up* It... is... ON! M-
Female Voice: METEO!
*Meteors appear above Travis*
Travis: *looks up* What the...
Dayn: HIT THE DECK!
*the meteors crash down causing a massive explosion*
*Dayn, Jerrica, Hawkslayer, and Dutchess drop to the ground as assorted ant parts fly in every direction and dust is kicked up*
Dayn: Woah...
Jerrica: Travis, are you okay!?
*silence*
Dayn: TRAVIS!
Travis: You don't have to yell, I'm right here.
Dayn: But you... and... here... how?!
Travis: I can teleport...
Dayn: Oh, yeah...
Jerrica: Nice job killing the ants, but did you have to use that spell?
Travis: I didn't do it...
Jerrica: Uh-huh.
Travis: I'm serious. I was about to cast the spell, but somebody else beat me to it.
Dayn: Somebody else?
Travis: You know, a person other than mys-
Dayn: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! I'M NOT A MINDLESS BASHER!
Travis: Whatever you say, Dayn, whatever you say...
*A green-eyed, brown-haired girl pops up in Dayn's face*
Girl: Hi!
Dayn: AHHHHHH!
Travis: Hi? O_o
Girl: Are you guys okay? That explosion was pretty big.
Dayn: *clutching chest* We're fine. More importantly, did you see the wizard who cast that spell?
Girl: HAhahahah! Sure did.
Dayn: What's so funny?
Travis: Hey, girl, how old are you?
Jerrica: Travis, now is not the time for that <_<
Hawkslayer: I agree <.0
Travis: >_>
Girl: Seventeen.
Travis: And you're the one who cast that meteo, aren't you?
Girl: Yep. ^_~
Dayn: Wait, wait, wait, wait... little girl... cast... giant spell?
Travis: *Ignoring Dayn* What's your name?
Girl: Aki' Nanm, but you can call me Akki. =3
Dayn: Tiny her... make boom!?
Jerrica: *hits Dayn upside the head with a large ration* Shut up.
Dayn: X_x Yes'm.
Akki: Travis, is that normal?
Travis: Sadly, ye- Wait a minute! How did you know my name? >_>
Akki: I heard your friends calling out for you after I nearly blew you up...
Travis: >_>
Akki: What? I assumed you could teleport, and it turns out I was right.
Travis: And if I couldn't?
Akki: Then you go boom! ^_^
Travis: <_<
Akki: Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friends, Travie? ^_~
Travis: Don't call me that.
Akki: Okay, Travie. ^_^
Travis: <<
Dayn: Little girl... big power O_O
Jerrica: I SAID ENOUGH! *starts beating up Dayn*
Travis: The idiot is Dayn, the girl beating Dayn to a pulp is Jerrica. The big guy is Hawkslayer, and the purple dog is Dutchess.
Akki: A chaos dog? o_O
Travis: No, we just dyed her purple.
Akki: ...
Travis: Long story.
Jerrica: Damn, I feel better.
Dayn: I hurt... X_x
Jerrica: So, what are you guys talking about?
Akki: Travie was telling me your names. ^_^
Travis: Don't call me th-
Jerrica: Ahhh, that's a cute name, Travie.
Travis: I will kill you all....
Jerrica: *Ignoring Travis* So, what name do I get? =3
Akki: Hmmm... Jerri!
Jerrica: Jerri... I love it! *runs over and gives Akki a crushing hug* I love this kid!
Travis: I hate you all.
Akki: Can't... breathe...
Jerrica: Sorry.
Jackals: on the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, th-*explosionism*
Akki: I HATE JACKALS!
Travis: I LOVE THIS KID! You can come with us! =D
Dayn: Travis, are you sure that's a good idea? Our group is getting pretty big...
Akki: Please? :3
Dayn: I don't know...
Ant: Skree clickity!
Akki: *stabs the ant in the head with a mithril longsword* Stupid ant, clicking at me...
Dayn: o.O
Akki: What?
Dayn: I LOVE THIS KID!
*later*
Dayn: So, Travis, who exactly is that "Si' Var"?
Akki: Si' Var?
Travis: Spirit of a Chaos Mage that possessed me.
Akki: Sounds... interesting?
Travis: Oh, quite.
Hawkslayer: What does he want? o.O
Travis: To give me greater power. He told me he's been living in me for some time, waiting for me to get strong enough to absorb his power as my own to defeat the forces of ChAoS.
Dayn: Uh-huh... and how will he know when you're "strong enough"? >_>
Travis: I think I'm strong enough now.
Jerrica: Huh?
Travis: After the incident with the moloch, he hasn't said anything, so I'm assuming I've absorbed his power completely... or something.
Dayn: Travis?
Travis: Yes?
Dayn: You need to start taking meds.
Travis: I'm not crazy! Jerrica, you believe me!
Jerrica: I will admit there's something weird going on, but that's all.
Travis: Dutchess?
Dutchess: You're insane.
Travis: Damn dog...
Hawkslayer: I believe you. 0.0
Travis: Thanks <_<
Dayn: I'm getting tired, maybe we should rest here.
Travis: Oh, fine. Change the subject! I don't care. That's actually a good idea.
Jerrica: I'll go smash doors and get fire wood! *runs off*
Travis: I'll... go with her... though I really don't see why we need fire wood... women are crazy... *follows Jerrica*
Dutchess: Wait for me! *follows Travis*
Hawkslayer: I'll go get some RAW AND BLOODY MEAT, GREEEEEEAT! *runs off*
Akki: *turns to Dayn* Thanks for helping me get the information I needed... *watches as Dayn falls unconcious* You were VeRy helpful.
*later*
Dayn: ZzzZzZzZzZ
Travis: He sure is tired.
Akki: Well, if I had to wear that heavy armor all the time, I would be too.
Jerrica: Well, I'm going to sleep... *immediately falls asleep*
Dutchess and Hawkslayer: Same here *both fall asleep immediately*
Travis: Sleep is good... *falls asleep*
Akki: Ahh, I love potions of sleepiness! =3 *looks at everybody else sleeping* Well, guess I better go report to Andy. ^_^ *walks away*
Hawkslayer: *opens eyes and looks around* I knew she was one of them... *takes a strange amulet out of his pocket* I think it's best that you have this... *puts it around Travis' neck* And just to be safe... *reads a scroll of cursing* With any luck, your dooming bad luck will prevent you from uncursing and removing that.
Travis: zzzZZzZzZzZzZ pie ZZzZzZ
Hawkslayer: *goes over to Dayn and lays a couple of Paladin spellbooks down by Dayn.* You seriously need to learn some magic... *goes over to Jerrica and puts a ring of luck on each ring finger* ... Maybe you'll be less unlucky now. *takes one last look at them and walks away*
*later*
Akki: *talking to crystal ball* And that's everything, Andy.
Andy: FoR tHe LaSt TiMe, My NaMe IsN't "AnDy" >_>
Akki: Lighten up, I'm just messing with ya. Besides, Andor Drakon doesn't have a ring to it like Andy does. =p
Andor Drakon: *sigh* wHatEvEr... AnD, jUsT oUt Of CuRiOsItY, hOw DiD yOu MaNaGe To GeT tHiS iNfOrMaTiOn?
Akki: The sorcerer told me.
Andor Drakon: eXpLaIn.
Akki: You see, originally I had planned on reading the sorcerer's mind, but he was blocking it, so instead, I read the paladin's mind, used the spell "Puppet" on him, made him ask the Sorcerer, and the Sorcerer answered. Easy as 1-2-3. And, seeing as the sorcerer is capable of being quite dangerous, I think I should kill him and his friends iMmEdIaTelY. =3
Andor Drakon: nO, nOt YeT. iF hE cAnT cOnTrOl AnD uSe ThE pOwEr WhEn He NeEdS tO, hE iSn'T mUcH oF a ThReAt, AnD wIlL eVeNtUaLlY bE kIlLeD bY sOmEtHiNg... Or ThE cHaOs WiLl TaKe OvEr HiM... CoNtInUe WaTcHiNg ThEm FoR tHe TiMe BeInG, aNd OnLy KiLl ThEm If YoU fEeL tHrEaTeNeD.
Akki: Yes, sir. *touches the crystal ball and it vanishes*
Hawkslayer: So, how is my old buddy?
Akki: *turns around quickly* How long have you been standing there?!
Hawkslayer: Ever since you started talking to Andor.
Akki: How do you know the ultimate chaos god?
Hawkslayer: We used to be good friends. We came to the Drakalor Chain to investigate chaos, but, when Andor discovered that chaos could make him far more powerful, he started looking for a way to let chaos make him stronger, but without the strange corruptions. That's when he created the Sceptre, Medal, and Crown of Chaos.
Akki: I know of those. They just corrupt the carrier. You've seen what the sceptre is doing to Travis...
Hawkslayer: Originally, they didn't do that. They used to remove corruption from the wielder and store it but, due to Andor's excessive use of them, they came to contain the essence of chaos itself. Andor, with his new power, then entered the chaos plane, and disposed of the former chaos god. When the former chaos god died, the root of chaos left his body and attached itself to Andor, helping him achieve what he had been trying to achieve from the start... becoming a being of chaos. Andor then turned his sights to me, knowing that I would do anything possible to stop him. After several attempts on my life, I figured I should give up. I changed my name, my appearance, I even started doing this weird eye thing. 0.o
Akki: Interesting story. It was very entertaining. Now, if you're done talking, I'm going to kill you.
Hawkslayer: Funny, that's what I was planning on doing. *shoots an arrow at Akki*
Akki: *grabs the arrow out of the air just before it hits her* If you think something like that is gonna get rid of me, you're sadly mis- *is sent flying by a punch from Hawkslayer, who gets behind her just before she hits the wall.*
*Hawkslayer takes out a club and smashes it into Akki's back, sending her sailing in the opposite direction. He then fires several arrows at her.*
Akki: *teleports out of the way of the arrows* Looks like I underestimated you, but don't worry, I'm still going to kill you. *teleports around Hawkslayer randomly and casts several frost bolts at him, trapping him in a large block of ice* Too easy. I think I'll just sit here and wait for you to free- *notices cracks forming in the block of ice* -ze?
Hawkslayer: *smashes out of the ice, wearing the ancient mummy wrapping* Thanks for cooling me down, I really needed that.
Akki: Dammit... wait, the Ancient mummy wrapping only makes you immune to ice, how in Andor's great name did you break out?
Hawkslayer: I'm really strong...*shoots an arrow at Akki*
Akki: *preparing to catch it* You should know that wo- ACK! *is hit by two arrows from the back, then hit in the chest by the one Hawkslayer shot before, and falls to her knees.*
Hawkslayer: I did it! I thought for sure I was gonna... *watches as Akki gets up* ... die?
Akki: *coughs up blood* I'm sorry, I had no idea you had a death- *winces as she pulls the arrow out of her chest* -wish. *A purple aura begins surrounding her* I can make that wish... *eyes turn purple* ...CoMe TrUe!
Hawkslayer: Oh, Shi-
