Game Battleship Apoliner!

Board the legendary Game Battleship Apoliner and join its crew in an unforgettable adventure to stop the forces of Evil!

Landing in the Fan Fiction forums for the first time after spending more than six months in development in Apoline`s Alcove, I`m proud to present you the ultimate Fiesta story (Even though I like to call it a "Forum anime"... darn, it sounds so cool it`s scary) that`s bound to make you laugh and cry (But specially laugh, if things go as expected). It`s definitely gonna make you feel stuff

"Game Battleship Apoliner" is, as I just said, a Fiesta based story. But not just a story, an interactive story! During the process of its writing (With one or two chapters being released per week, with a few exceptions) anyone who wanted to appear in it only had to leave an application in the original thread in the Apoline forums. Originally intended to be ony for Apolinian players, the ship soon started to be frequented by players from Bijou and Teva, and only its name remained as a reminder of the Apoline exclusiveness it lost, because everyone is welcome to join this fantastic vessel!

Now, two days after the original story ended, with 36 chapters, one Original Soundtrack, a trading card game, two spin-offs, the Apoliner is ready to storm in the Fan Fiction section for everyone to enjoy it!

You! Yes, you! The one reading this right now! Have you boarded the Apoliner already? Try watching (And by watching I mean reading while putting your imagination to work) the trailer first, to get an idea of what this story has in store for you... (Get it? "Story", "Store"? Man, I`m on a roll!)

Hope to see you on board!

Ceri: B… behind you…
Lenore: Wha…? *Turns around* OH MY GOD…!!!
Neo: GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…!!!

Ako: Whoa~! *Dodges the sword to the side* We don`t have time for this?

Neo: I believe in you

A mysterious force turns players into killing machines...

Lenore: Oh my gosh, you serious?!

PROBLEMS!!

Ako: *Eerie voice* Nothing is wrong with me! Let me go!

Join Captain Neo and his crew in their quest to vanquish Evil!

Evil Lord: This place we live in *Extends his arms* is full of false people who are violent, lie, and rejoice in the misfortune of others…
Sereno: I see… b… but…
Evil Lord: Isn`t it appropriate to call it “Hell”?

BATTLES!!

Ako: We`re under attack!
Kokoro: We`ve sustained heavy damage on the north section of the deck!
Lenore: How the [CENSORED] did they know where we were…?!
Neo: *Makes a cool motion with his arm* Everyone, to your positions! It`s time to fight!

MUSICALS!!

There`s a hole in the net like a great black pit
And the vermin of that world inhabit it
And its morals aren`t worth what a pin can spit
And it goes by the name of Fiesta
At the top of the game sit the privileged few
Making mock of the newbies in the lonely zoo
Turning beauty to filth and greed

Be ready to laugh, since this ship runs on happy faces!

Vegeta: We`ve got you now, Kakarot!
Neo: Dude, I`m not kakarot… *Sighs* Sadly…

COMEDY!!

Neo: *Speaking to himself* Captain`s log…
Ako: *Smiles* Pfffffttt…
Lenore: *Pouring coffee into a cup* Heh… heheh…
Neo: *Looks at them* What? Captain`s log

GAGS!!

Aury: But somehow I like it… I like how you run that ship
Neo: *Thinks* Oh my god, is she flirting with me?
Aury: Oh my god, am I flirting with you?
Neo: *Thinks* OH MY GOD, is she psychic?!

ORIGINALITY!!

Aury: Man, that was intense… I can`t believe we made it through there!
Crystal: Yeah… a giant chess board with living pieces…

MEMES!!

Zappy: ZA WARUDO

Meet an important amount of lovable characters!

Sereno: I think it`s time we do some nasty things I have in mind…
Knivy: Oh man… oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man…
Nam: Not even in your wildest homoerotic fantasies!!

ANIME!!

Aury: Kimitachi wa… Ore no teki da…! Kuraeeeee…!!
Zappy: NANDA
Ako: Ma… masaka…
Kokoro: Shi… shikkari shiroo…!!
Neo: Daijyoubu ka, Ako?

MECHAS!!

Mystra: The TN-Totoro, unlike your Papillion, has an amazing amount of close range weapons that go from chainsaws to hammers and giant spikes…
Neo: Oh… really?
Ako: Haha, amazing…!! I gotta see for myself… *Pushes the lever* GO…!!

PHILLOSOPHY!!

Evil Lord: Ahhh, love… yet another thing that is not absolute…
Neo: You`re wrong
Evil Lord: It comes and goes, it isn`t permanent, just a nuisance. You can`t call it, and you can`t get rid of it, but we all know it doesn`t last forever…
Neo: *Clenches his fist* Shut up…

CRITICISM!!

Neo: You know, Kokoro, that I do not allow literature of this type in this vessel…
Kokoro: I`m really sorry Neo, I know you don`t like that book, so I…
Neo: No! Don`t call this a book! This is "Twilight"! It`s not worthy of being called a book! I`m actually ashamed I qualified it as literature a couple of lines ago, so scratch that!

Recognise the millions of references spreaded throughout the story!

Neo: *Snaps* OH COME ON!! *Stands up* Both the T-Virus and the G-Virus are from Resident Evil, the T-Virus is the regular virus that turns people into zombies and was developed by the Umbrella Corporation, probably by Wesker, with the original purpose of creating superior human beings. The G-Virus was created by William Birkin, who used to work with Wesker, with a similar purpose, its effect is different though, and Birkin proved it by testing it on himself, it turned him into a monster with huge claws and an eye on his enormous shoulder that`s a pain in the rear to kill on Resident Evil 2. A similar situation can be seen in the new movie Resident Evil: Degeneration when another character makes use of the G-Virus and turns into a surprisingly similar monster. OKAY?!

ZOMBIES!!

Seras: Shoot, I imagined they would set up traps… but zombies? I didn`t see this coming… *The zombies start walking slowly towards them*
Ako: Heh… zombies… heheh… heheheh, this is great…
Ewoyn: Huh?
Ako: This is awesome, zombies
Seras: I bet

GUNS!!

Kokoro: A… a gun?!
Ewoyn: *Looks at the gun* Hmm… a gun, definitely
Kokoro: B… but I can`t use this! I… I mean…!
Ewoyn: You`ve never fired a gun before?
Kokoro: Of course not!!
Ewoyn: *Sigh* Kids these days…

ADULT LANGUAGE!!

Seras: Shoot the [CENSORED] in the [CENSORED] head!
Ako: I [CENSORED] know, but it`s hard to [CENSORED] aim while I`m [CENSORED] running!
Ewoyn: Well, I have no [CENSORED] problem with that! *Blows a zombie`s head off*
Ako: Well, that`s because of your [CENSORED] DEX, and because you`re used to [CENSORED] kiting, [CENSORED]! *Runs and kicks one to the ground*
Seras: Why the [CENSORED] are we cursing so [CENSORED] much?! *Unleashes a rain of bullets over a group*

HORROR!!

Crystal: Oh my gosh…
Ewoyn: What`s up with her…?
Mrew: Kit… are you okay…?
Kitone: Ghhh… grrraaarghhh… *Starts wriggling in pain, her expression turns from angry to demented and her veins become visible* Aaaaarrghhhh…!! *Lifts her sword* I`LL KILL… YOU ALL…!!

Experience a wide range of emotions, some of which you`ve never even felt yet!


Neo: What? What is it, Koko?
Kokoro: Our… this says our… our speed… has tripled *Looks at Neo slowly*
Lenore: Tripled?!
Neo: We`re going three times as fast?!

HEROISM!!

Neo: She`s a princess, so you`ll recognize her when you see her. She`ll be the one crying for help
Ceri: Understood!

SACRIFICE!!

Zappy: Oh my god… no…
Neo: *Turns to Zappy* What? What are those…?!
Zappy: They`re using shock missiles…?! *Unexpecting, Zappy is hit in the back by one of them* Arrrghhhh…!! *Falls to the ground, curls up in a ball, shaking* Oh n… no… no… not the girls… not the cup again… no…

DETERMINATION!!

Neo: What makes you think you can just appear and say all that [CENSORED] about me…?!
Doc: I told you, right now, I am you
Neo: YOU ARE NOT ME…!!

JUSTICE!!

Atoli: We won`t let anyone mess with our beliefs
Juneau: Yeah, we all want the same thing in the end…
Neo: I`m glad to hear that, guys… let`s get going now. Let`s show those evil guys what we`re made of…!! We`ll fight…
Everyone: *They all raise their fists* FOR GREAT JUSTICE…!!!

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime with Game Battleship Apoliner!

DESTINY!!

Aury: What… are you talking… about…?
Evil Lord: It`s your destiny

Neo: Grrghh… *His eyes glow red* Grrghh…
Evil Lord: It is time…
Neo: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH…!!!

Chapter 1: The Underground Pond

- Burning Rock

The red sky crowned the cinder covered fields of Burning Rock. On the lava ponds bubbles slowly formed themselves and popped in a vicious circle. But you guys already know what Burning Rock looks like, right? So let`s cut to the point… a few meters away from the entrance to Guardian`s Holy Shrine, two figures tried to remain unnoticed, hidden by a few pines whose branches had seen better days and some depressions of the terrain (On Apoline, even the terrain is depressed *Drums*)

They were a red haired fighter guy, wearing his red and yellow McDonalds armour, and a cat-eyed cleric girl, sporting two ponytails. Strangely enough, they weren`t fighting any monsters, which is what you would expect from a duo such as this in this place. You don`t precisely go to Burning Rock for the 5 o`clock tea. Unless you`re The Human Torch or a Charizard. Anyway, while the girl looked around, the fighter was hitting the rock on the border of the map hard with his two-handed sword, like an armoured lumberjack knight…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/NeoandLenny.jpg

Lenore: Are you sure this is… um… “Legal”
Neo: Nope! *Keeps hacking at the rock*
Lenore: And that it`ll work, at least?
Neo: Nope! *Hits harder* Yaaaarghh--!!
Lenore: Well… *Hesitates* Well, you know that the only reason I`m here is…!
Neo: Aw c`mon, Len! *Stops attacking the wall* Hahaha~ You should`ve seen your face when I told you I found this secret passage to Guardian`s Holy Shrine
Lenore: Tchyeah, secret passage… *Looks to the side, bitter* Where d`you find it anyway? The map you showed me looked as if it had been drawn by a three-year-old
Neo: Well… I… found it *Picks up sword and starts digging on the wall again*
Lenore: Where?
Neo: On the ground, okay?
Lenore: On the ground?!
Neo: Yeah! I was sitting beside the stairway in Uruga looking at the sky, and I saw it lying there, near a bush, so I took it…
Lenore: Sitting there again? Looking upwards? Pretending nobody knows you do it to look up the skirts of the girls?
Neo: Hey, it`s legal, okay? Check the TOS
Lenore: One day you`ll get what you deserve…
Neo: I do already. Some fighters wear skirts too. I`ve had some nasty surprises *Shudders as he keeps hitting the stone*
Lenore: Tch… and why don`t you use an axe instead of a sword?
Neo: Last time I checked, you had a HAMMER in your hand, so why don`t you help? And I like swords more…
Lenore: Well, but I`m sure an axe would make the job quicker, and I`m not gonna use the hammer, because it won`t do anyth…
Neo: *Turns around* Listen, if you`re gonna keep whining like a T… *Suddenly, all the rocks behind Neo fell to the ground, revealing a passage where he had been digging* H… hey! *Smiles widely*
Lenore: *Surprised* W… whoa… this…
Neo: Yeah, this is it! *Pulls out map and looks at it* See? I told you it was here we had to dig!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Vurningroc.jpg

Lenore: *Sarcastic* Yeah, we just had to avoid the… *Reads* “Boss”
Neo: Heheh, yeah! And we did a good job at it!
Lenore: The best of jobs *Sarcasm was getting over 9000*
Neo: Hahaha~! C`mon Lenny! *Puts a hand around her shoulders and points to the newly formed cave* We`re gonna get into the Holy Shrine, we`re gonna grind, we`re gonna get 1337 exp, and we`re gonna level!
Lenore: I have a bad feeling about this…
Neo: Oh geez, what do we have to lose?
Lenore: Exp
Neo: Oh… well… yeah, but… um… what else?
Lenore: Heh, we might as well give it a shot…
Neo: That`s the spirit! Now let`s go!

- Underground passage

Neo: *Imitates Steve Irwin`s voice as they walk inside the cavern* Come on, let`s geu! Let`s geu on an advenchor!
Lenore: Oh stuff it…
Neo: Let`s GEU! Follow me, it`ll be an advenchor!
Lenore: You do this just because I`m Australian, right?
Neo: *Ignores her and starts looking at the gems that decorated the walls of the cave, pointing at them as they walk* Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
Lenore: Well, sorry to interrupt your Discovery Channel fantasy, but it doesn`t look we`re getting anywhere near the Holy Shrine… *Looks around*
Neo: Crikey! *Lenore glares at him* Okay, I`ll stop… why do you say that, though? These gems looks just like the ones on the Shrine…
Lenore: Yeah, but we`re going the wrong way…
Neo: Huh? We`re underground…
Lenore: Yeah, but we just took a turn to the left, and the shrine should be on the right…
Neo: Len, are you a mole? *Lenore glares again* Okay, okay… anyway, let`s keep going, this has to lead somewhere…
Lenore: Aha, besides, if we turn back now, what will the readers think?
Neo: Yeah *Looks at the camera and smiles* We love you guys
Lenore: This is strange, though…
Neo: Yeah, that no CL has moved this to the fanfiction section already…
Lenore: Not that, the fact that there is a map that doesn`t figure on any official guide and that… well… nobody knows about
Neo: Yeah… wait, you mean this passageway, right?
Lenore: *Gives Neo the “I can`t believe how dumb you can be sometimes” look* Yeah. This passage
Neo: Ah, yeah… it`s strange. The map too… *Takes out map and takes a look at it*
Lenore: Well, SPECIALLY the map… *Touches the stone walls of the cave and the crystals as she walks* The absence of monsters is disturbing, too…
Neo: Oh don`t worry, there`ll be thousands of monsters when we get to the Shrine…! And I`ll beat them all!! *Takes out his sword and strikes a cool pose while walking*
Lenore: Yeah, I`m itching to hit something, too
Neo: Oh, but you won`t. You`ll be healing me
Lenore: Excuse me?
Neo: *Talks without looking at Lenore, with his eyes fixed on the road* You know clerics only exist to buff and heal us fighters, that`s all they have to do, they`re our slaves, if they hit the monsters that means they suck as clerics, because they`re a support class and we fighters are not…
Lenore: Wha…?!
Neo: Heh… *Turns around*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Neoavacopia.jpg

Lenore: Oh…
Neo: Gotcha
Lenore: I should stop falling for tha… *Notices something behind Neo* Oh my god
Neo: *Eyes fixed on Lenore without turning around, paralyzed* There`s a giant monster behind me, right?
Lenore: No
Neo: A GM?
Lenore: No
Neo: Myles
Lenore: Nope
Neo: A PKKKKKK`er
Lenore: Nuh-uh…
Neo: *Gasp* A lawyer
Lenore: Just turn around, geez!

And Neo did so. Not because he has a tendency to obey women, oh no. Pfffft, how could you think that, shame on you. He turned around because the situation called for it. And what he saw, left him speechless, and you gotta be special in order to render him speechless because he always has something stupid to say. They both were staring at a huge chamber that was definitely not the Guardian`s Holy Shrine, but instead a sort of huge underground pond, like the one on that movie with a friendly sea monster, which looked like Nessy… umm… what was the name again? It was the name of the monster, I think… Agh, well, never mind, a big underground pond. But what made them open their eyes wider than those of one of those frail Chihuahuas girls like Paris Hilton like to carry on their purses and give silly names to, was not the pond itself, but what was laying on it. On the middle of the chamber, there was an enormous ship resting over the water, it looked more like a spaceship than a regular ship. Well, no, it looked like a regular ship, it`s only that I`m the author and I know it`s really a spaceship. By the way, sorry, that was a spoiler.

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apoliner.jpg

Lenore: Wha… wow… *Gazes upon the ship*
Neo: I… I… I`m out of stupid things to say…
Lenore: Good… *Takes a couple of steps forward*
Neo: W… wait! It could be dangerous! *Stops her without taking his eyes from the ship*
Lenore: W… why? *They were drunk from the sight they were beholding*
Neo: Well… now we`re kinda certain nobody has been here before… which means we have absolutely no clue as to what we may find around here. There could be three Helgas lurking around for all we know!
Lenore: You`re just trying to look cool
Neo: Always
Lenore: Well, I don`t see three Helgas here, I`m going to check that thing out… *Keeps walking forward*
Neo: *Keeps looking at the ship a bit more* H… hey, wait for me! *Walks hurriedly after her*

Chapter 2: Nautic Terms

After following a mysterious underground passage that was supposed to lead them into the Guardian`s Holy Shrine, Neoshaman and Lenore end up on an underground chamber filled with water, and, on its center, an enormous ship that was just begging to be explored (AKA the ship was “Asking for it”)…

- Underground Pond

Neo: *Walks beside Lenore towards the ship* Whe… where did this thing come from? What`s it doing here?
Lenore: I have no idea Neo… it looks so weird…
Neo: Exactly!
Lenore: What?
Neo: Well, check it out! *Points to the ship* It has nothing to do with the general style of the game! It`s metallic, kinda futuristic… *Checks the ship a bit more* It has CANNONS, for god`s sake!
Lenore: Cannons? *Follows Neo`s finger* Holy [CENSORED], you`re right!! It has a [CENSORED] of cannons!
Neo: It`s clearly a battleship…
Lenore: Yeah, huh? Also, the deck is [CENSORED] huge… and the bridge… we should board this [CENSORED]
Neo: Len… why are you cursing so much…?
Lenore: I`m not [CENSORED] cursing
Neo: Um… yes, you are
Lenore: Argh… [CENSORED]… yeah, I know…
Neo: What`s the matter?
Lenore: I`m [CENSORED] excited about all this [CENSORED], and when I get excited I start to [CENSORED] curse like a [CENSORED]
Neo: I see… well, don`t worry Len, everything`s gonna be all right…
Lenore: I`m not [CENSORED] worrying, don`t treat me like a [CENSORED] [CENSORED]
Neo: Crikey… okay! Well, you said we should board the ship and check it out, right? Um, how can we do that…?
Lenore: I`m sure there`s a way to get on… *They start walking around the body of water surrounding the ship* Ah, there it is! Look, there`s a ladder over there, we can get on the ship using it!
Neo: Aha, aha… this is an important lagoon, though… *Looks at the water*
Lenore: Yup, we`ll have to get wet *Neo opens his mouth* Make a joke and I`ll neuter you *Neo closes his mouth*
Neo: I wonder if the water`s cold…
Lenore: Aww, what`s the matter? Scared? Come on, Neo, let`s geu! It`ll be an advenchor, come on!
Neo: It`s not that! Only that…
Lenore: Come on, let`s GEU!!
Neo: *Stewie`s voice* Silence, woman! Neo is never scared!
Lenore: Then act is if you were a man and get into the water!
Neo: Of course I will! But you`re forgetting what a gentleman I am~ *Makes a gesture to her and then to the water* Ladies first~ *Lenore glares at him* Oh, whatever… *Starts walking into the water*
Lenore: Much better
Neo: *Closes eyes tightly as water begins flooding his armour* BLAST!!

- Apoliner`s Deck

Neo: *Sitting on the deck, soaked* Well, that sucked…
Lenore: What a crybaby, I actually enjoyed it *Squishes water out of her ponytails*
Neo: You say that because you`re not wearing THIS *Points at his armour*
Lenore: Hahaha~! You`re a walking McDonalds ad
Neo: Ahhh, shuddup… *Leans against the ship`s wall* So, here we are…
Lenore: Yeah, here we are… *Places her hands on her waist and glances at the bridge, her body dripping water in a moment of fanservice for the guys*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Lenorehawt.jpg

Neo: Aha…
Lenore: *Looks at him* What are you looking at?
Neo: Nothing *Gets up* Let`s take a look around!

So, they walked around the deck, trying to count how many cannons, gunports and turrets that thing had, admiring the view from up there, staring in awe at the powerful beak in the front, and all those things you do when you`re exploring a huge battleship. When they decided to check out the bridge they found out the ship actually had a lot of rooms, kitchen, restrooms…

Dane Cook: Why do they call them restrooms? Is there anybody just RESTING in this ROOM? Is anybody walking in… *Collapses on the floor* And, here`s my question, why? Okay, why when you use the public restroom, WHY is EVERYTHING WET?! EVERYTHING is WET!!

… anyway, bathrooms (The good kind), play room (With pool, arcades, pinballs, TV, vending machines, couchs, etc.) and a lot of passageways connecting everything, it all looked like a mobile hotel. With cannons.

- Apoliner`s Bridge

Lenore: *Enters the bridge with Neo, thrilled* [CENSORED]!! This place is [CENSORED] awesome!!
Neo: Hahaha, it is indeed! Just calm down a bit, Len…
Lenore: It`s like a [CENSORED] mobile hotel!
Neo: Yeah, the narrator just said that…
Lenore: [CENSORED] the narrator!! *Starts walking around the bridge* This is from where everything else is controlled, right?
Neo: Yup, looks like it. Look at all the computers and panels… everything`s powered off, though…
Lenore: Well, yeah, looks like this thing hasn`t been used in a loooong time… I wonder if it still works…
Neo: Hey, but… why is this thing so heavily armed? So many cannons and stuff…
Lenore: Yeah, what the [CENSORED] was this thing used for? It surely makes one wonder
Neo: Len, please, we have minors reading this
Lenore: Aw, c`mon! Zappy already knows these words and much more. Anyway, you`re right, I`ll stop.
Neo: Hey Len, look! *Unrolls some papers that were lying over one of the control panels* It`s a diagram of the ship…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinerplans1-1.jpg

Neo: Grand… Battleship… Apoliner…
Lenore: So that`s what this thing`s called… sounds pretty neat, huh?
Neo: Yeah… though this diagram looks a bit incomplete… and not very professional
Lenore: Oh, well… but look at all the things it has! Um… a… rawrbeak
Neo: What`s a N.O.O.B.? Sounds like the name of a “Kids Next Door” chapter
Lenore: Why is the observatory fail?
Neo: Maybe it`s not completely built? *Shrugs*
Lenore: “Incredible Hull”… now this looks as if you had written it
Neo: Hey, I don`t own bad puns! And check this out, the one who wrote this had no idea what this was… *Points*
Lenore: So many mysteries…*Stops looking at the diagram and turns around* Oh, look, this ship may be super technological but it still has a wheel…
Neo: Huh? *Stands and goes beside her* Whoa, nice! *Walks around the wheel* It`s like an old one, but with a modern touch… I wonder if its just for show, though
Lenore: I don`t think so, look… *Lenore pointed at the center of the wheel, there was a keyhole there* … that looks important, I bet that`s the main power
Neo: Whoa, to think that this beast is set into motion with such a tiny key…
Lenore: Wicked. If only we had that key we`d have some fun today
Neo: Hmmm… w… wait a second… *Neo sinks his hand into his pocket*
Lenore: What?
Neo: J… just a second… *Shuffles around, looking for something*
Lenore: What are you looking f--?
Neo: One second, okay? Do you see me carrying any backpack? I have to carry all my darn inventory in my pockets just like everyone else. And in my case that includes a shield, chocolates, petals and a friggen axe, and… ah, here it is! *Pulls out something from his pocket*
Lenore: What is it, what is it? *Neo opens his hand to reveal a cool-looking golden key* Wha…?!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/keyb.jpg

Neo: Yeah…
Lenore: First the map, and then this, you`re getting more suspicious every second, where the heck did you get that from?!
Neo: Well, you`ll never believe me…
Lenore: What, from the ground too? Whose skirt were you trying to look up?
Neo: I was trying to look up the skirt of life!!
Lenore: Whoa… that`s deep
Neo: Thanks
Lenore: For serious now
Neo: I mined it
Lenore: Huh?
Neo: I mined it out of an ore. I was with a friend, helping him with a mining quest on Echo Cave, right? So I start hitting ores with my pickaxe and collecting everything, until I hit one and this key comes out of it…
Lenore: The key came out of an ore? It was inside?
Neo: Yeah. Kinda like Jurassic Park… it looked really strange, and, like this ship, it looked different from the rest of the items in the game, so I saved it.
Lenore: Strange
Neo: You bet. I completely forgot about it, though, it happened like a month ago. I`m just used to carrying junk in my inventory, lots of sentimental stuff too~
Lenore: [CENSORED]
Neo: AW, COME ON!!
Lenore: What are you waiting for?! Try the darn key!
Neo: Crikey, you`re right! *Neo took the key as he kneeled down to face the keyhole, and as he got the key nearer, it started to glow* L… Len, check this out!
Lenore: The key`s glowing?!
Neo: Y… yeah… *Slowly takes the key nearer* The hole, it`s glowing too!
Lenore: DO IT ALREADY!!
Neo: I`m on it, I`m on it! *Neo plunges the key inside the keyhole and twists it, with a smile on his face, same as Lenore*

…

Nothing happens

Lenore: *Still smiling* … well?
Neo: *Smiling too* … I don`t know…
Lenore: Isn`t something… supposed to happen? The key was glowing
Neo: I saw that too *Twists it again* Argh… *Again* Come… *Again* on, you… *Again* stupid key…! *And again* BLAST!!
Lenore: *Sigh* What do we do now?
Neo: *Sits on the ground* I don`t know… we can…
Lenore: OWCH!!
Neo: Huh? *Looks at her, Lenore was making strange poses*
Lenore: OW! ARGH!
Neo: Len, are you okay? *Gets up*
Lenore: Yeah, it`s just… my cat… argh… she clinged onto my back… owch… and then climbed all the way up to my head… nghh… and now… she`s… she has her claws… in my… ARGH, in my nose…
Neo: Auch
Lenore: I`ll just… ow, log off for a while… okay? OWCH, YOU SON OF--- *Logs off*
Neo: Well figures, tomorrow`s caturday *Looks at the key in his hands, still glowing from the proximity with the keyhole* What is all this? What does this mean? Maybe I should explore some more…

Neo`s mom: AGUUUUUS, DINNEEEEEEER---!!
Neo: Or maybe not *Logs off*

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 3: Welcome to the Slaughterhouse

Alter exploring the mysterious ship, which name had turned out to be “Apoliner”, and trying Neo`s golden key without success, Lenore had to log off due to some problems with her cat, and Neo had to log off because of some problems with… his stomach, I guess? He had to go eat. They both ended the day peacefully (Well, not Lenore), unaware of the perils they would face the following day…

- Forest of Slumber

The sun shone over the Forest of Slumber, hitting Neo`s spiky crimson hair as he spoke on his purple whisphone…
Neo: Hey! Lenny, how are you?
Lenore: Good! Phew, I finally can log in today…
Neo: What happened with your cat?
Lenore: You don`t wanna know. All you need to know is that she`s still alive
Neo: Oh… I see…
Lenore: Hey! Yesterday was crazy, huh?
Neo: You bet! And the best thing is that only us seem to know about that thing!
Lenore: We should go again soon, huh?
Neo: Yeah… well… I`m a bit busy right now…
Lenore: Oh yeah? What are you doing?
Neo: Taking care of Flame Sylphs…
Lenore: Ahhhh… questing?
Neo: Yeah… questing…
Lenore: I see… okay then, talk to you later, mate!
Neo: Yup, seeya later! *Hangs up the whisphone*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/10548-7370-167-175-250x275.jpg

Neo turned his attention back to the Flame Sylph he had between his arms. They were both laying against a tree, the Sylph`s back against the trunk, with her eyes half closed, looking at him

Sylph: Who was it…?
Neo: *Puts the phone away as he leaned closer* Nobody…
Sylph: *Places a finger on Neo`s lips* I wanna know…
Neo: You don`t need to know… *Kisses the sylph deeply, placing a hand on her cheek*
Sylph: Oh Neo… *Gives in to the kiss, closing her eyes* Mhhhh…
Neo: Hmmm… *Starts sliding his other hand around the Sylph`s waist, when his whisphone starts ringing again* Argh…!!
Sylph: *Sigh*
Neo: Just a sec… *Takes the phone out and answers* Yes?!
Attila: Hey Neo, it`s Attila!
Neo: Attila, hi. What`s the matter? I hope someone`s dying, because if…
Attila: Actually, a lot of people are dying
Neo: Oh good… wait, what?
Attila: It`s Ako, she`s gone wild!
Neo: Hawt
Attila: Not that way! I don`t know what the heck happened to her, we were grinding on abyss and suddenly her eyes turned red and she started attacking everyone!
Neo: What? You mean she`s doing it right now?
Attila: Yeah! I`m trying to keep everyone alive healing, because, you know I`m one of the best clerics in Apoline, I`ve empowered all my heals and cooldown and I always…
Neo: Yeah, yeah, I know that
Attila: Well, I`m trying to keep people alive and also trying to get Ako outta here so she can`t harm anyone, otherwise people will think she`s a PK
Neo: But she`s a PKK…
Attila: Technically, but she once killed a PKK
Neo: Wait, that means she`s a PKKK?
Attila: No, she`s not a PKKK, she likes to kill those, actually
Neo: Aha, so that would make him a PKKKK, right?
Attila: Kinda, but… *Realizes what he`s talking about and shakes his head* Agh! Listen, there`s no time for explanations, I need you to come help me with this, I can`t do it alone!
Neo: Yeah, I`m on my way. Where do we meet?
Attila: I`ll get her out, so meet me in Uruga in some minutes
Neo: Gotcha. Also, get all the help you can… because mercy is a thing Ako does not know… at least that`s what her siggy used to say *Hangs up the whisphone*
Sylph: *Sigh* You have to go…?
Neo: Unfortunately, yes… *Caresses the sylph`s cheek* I`m sorry, cutie…
Sylph: *Looks down* It`s okay… you sounded worried
Neo: And I need to hurry up too… *Puts the phone away*
Sylph: *Looks up, worried* Will you be back?
Neo: Erm… yeah, I will! Just make sure you stay alive, okay? *Winks*
Sylph: I will *Smiles*
Neo: *Points* And remember, no attacking…
Sylph: *Completes the phrase*… other players, I know
Neo: Heheh, good~ I`ll see you later! *Runs away*
Sylph: Bye! *Waves*

- Uruga

Attila had finally managed to pull Ako out of the abyss, but little did he know about the little effect that would have…
Attila: *Grabbing Ako by the arms, dragging her down the stairs to Uruga`s central plaza* Ako, pull yourself together! What`s wrong with you?
Ako: *Eerie voice* Nothing is wrong with me! Let me go!
Attila: You killed a load of people there in abyss! Now they`re all gonna go to the forums and rant! Some of them will even make new threads, I hope you`re happy!
Ako: I am! I am happy killing! LET ME GO!!
Attila: Fine, fine, but you`re not going back into abyss! *Lets Ako go, and stands between her and abyss* And the joke`s on you, because this isn`t a PVP… *Ako lifts her axe and chops a mage`s head off* … area… what the…?!

The guy who plays the mage: *Sitting in front of his laptop* WHAT THE EFF?! OUTSPARK SUCKS, WoW HERE I COME!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Angrydude.jpg

Ako: Yes… YES… *Looks at the mage`s body with her eyes wide open* But it`s not enough… I want MORE… *Looks around at all the people watching him, as a huge grin appears on her face*
Attila: Oh dear… *Ako starts killing everyone near her with a swing of her axe*
Cleric guy: Hey Ako! Wanna plvl me? *Ako cuts him in half* You could`ve just said no…
Fighter dude: *Opens shop* Hahaha, you can`t kill me now! *Ako splits the shroom in two with a Power hit*
Archer girl: Oh my god, like, that`s SO against the TOS! *Ako devastates her into next week*
Mage guy: Ako_Izumi, I am a PKK, and you, sir, are under arrest! *Ako whirlwinds him into pieces*
Attila: Agh… erm… it… it wasn`t me…
Lenore: Attila! *Arrives running* I`m here! Where`s Ako?!
Attila: Th… there she is… *Points at Ako, who was testing her axe`s edge against a cleric girls forehead* She`s the one with an axe…
Lenore: Oh my god, why did you let her go…?!
Attila: Hey, how was I supposed to know that she would be able to kill people here?!
Lenore: Good point
Attila: Thanks
Lenore: No, I mean, how the [CENSORED] can she kill people here in Uruga?!
Attila: I don`t know!! I don`t even know why she wants to kill people at all!
Neo: Hey! *Arrives running with Zappy*
Zappy: O hai guyz *Waves*
Neo: I brought Zappy with me, found him sleeping over some bushes on the elven woods
Attila: Neo, what took you so long?! Ako`s already taken on half of Uruga!
Neo: Hawt
Attila: I mean she KILLED them!
Neo: Oh you`re right… where is she?
Lenore: There *Points* Next to the pile of corpses
Zappy: Well, we`ll have to fight her
Neo: You think?
Zappy: I don`t see any other solution, if she can kill people out here like in abyss, we gotta see this place like we see abyss
Lenore: But we need to know why she`s doing this! She looks like she`s possessed or something…
Zappy: *Takes out his bow* On abyss you kill first and ask the questions later…
Neo: He has a point, if we stay here thinking about what to do there`ll be nobody to defend left
Lenore: Agh, okay then… *Prepares herself* Neo, you tank, I`ll keep you alive
Attila: *Hurriedly prepares himself too* I`ll heal too! *Glares at Lenore* Because I am a better cleric than you…
Lenore: *Scared* Fine, fine, I`ll attack a bit…
Neo: Did you just say “Attack”, cleric?
Lenore: Oh, stuff it…
Zappy: *Gets an arrow ready* Then I`ll be the DD, heheh~ *Looks at Attila* See how I am not a support class?
Attila: It`s called support too, man…
Zappy: *Tilts head* I don`t understand
Attila: Agh, never mind. Go Neo, kick her!
Neo: Kick her?
Attila: Y`know what I mean! Get aggro! C`mon!
Neo: Oh yeah… *Neo runs up to Ako and uses ensnaring kick, which is not a kick anymore* We`ll show her she`s playing Fiesta and not Quake III Arena!

Ako turned his head to them and glared at Neo with her red eyes, smirks, and jumps at them in a catlike fashion, ready to swing her axe as they all run her way. The screen turns into a whirlwind and starts spinning and zooming, battle music from Final Fantasy IX starts playing…

Battle music: Danananananana, danananananana, dana nana nana nana nanaaaa, dana nana nana nana nanaaaa, dan dan dan dan, dananananaaa naaa naaaa naaa nanaaaaaa, danananananana, danananananana~

Ako: *Eerie voice* Why is the normal music playing?! I should be a BOSS!!
Neo: *Stands with the others in front of Ako, in a row* Okay Ako, what`s wrong? Had a rough day or something? We all have them, man… I mean, woman
Ako: Hah, wrong? Nothing`s wrong… everything`s PERFECT!! *Lunges at Neo at top speed, swinging her axe*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/EvilAko.jpg

Attila: *Lifts his hammer* INVINCE!! *Neo`s skin hardens and the axe fails to inflict any damage*
Ako: HAX!!
Zappy: Okay *Loads an arrow and aims* Here I c… *Lenore stops him with a hand*
Lenore: Not yet, Zappy
Zappy: Awgh, man… *Unloads the arrow*
Lenore: Ako, we know this is not you… *Ako turns to Lenore* You always talk about how crazy you are, and how you don`t forgive, and about you having no mercy… but we know you`re joking… in the end you`re a kind person… who… *Ako swings her axe one more and hurts Lenore`s arm* OW! YOU [CENSORED]!! *Hits Ako hard with her hammer*
Dyaevim: *Passes by* Oh!! Hey, guys, look over there!! *Points* A cleric who wants to ATTACK! Hahahaha! Isn`t that just funny?! I mean… a CLERIC who wants to ATTACK! Hahaha~!!
Lenore: *Puts her hands around her mouth to amplify the shout* [CENSORED] YOU!! *Shows him THE FINGER*

Neo: Len, watch out don`t grab aggro…!!
Attila: *Heals Len* Ako, for god`s sake, what are you doing?!
Ako: *Looks at them with a demented face* You don`t know anything… you all really don`t know anything… *Opens her eyes wide* YOU CAN`T STOP US!
Attila: “Us”…?
Lenore: What do you mean “Us”?
Zappy: Ah, stuff this… *Takes out an arrow again*
Lenore: Zap!
Zappy: Tch… *Puts it away*
Ako: *Slowly raises her axe* You… will… never… stop us…
Neo: Doesn`t look like she`ll be making any sense soon…
Attila: I know… *Steps forward* Everyone, stand back… *Puts his hammer in front of him* I`m going to exorcise this girl

Chapter 4: The Exorcism of Ako Rose

On the previous chapter of “Game Battleship Apoliner”…

Dr. House and Jack Bauer are standing behind a truck on a parking lot in front of the entrance of a suspicious looking warehouse…
Dr. House: Okay Jack, the entire cast from “Friends” has kidnapped the president`s daughter and they`re keeping her hostage in this warehouse
Jack: I know House, but I have a bad feeling about this…
Dr. House: You seem to have those often. I`m starting to think it’s a good thing *Takes his stick and loads at as if it were a shotgun, a shotgun shell comes out of it* I only have 2 remaining shots for this thing
Jack: What is that…?
Dr: House: *Looks at Jack* It`s NOT Lupus… *Suddenly, the truck they were leaning against explodes*
Jack: *Rolls away from the explosion and puts his back against a car* Shoot, they found us!
Ross: *Standing in front of the warehouse with a rocket launcher in his shoulder* Whoa, whoa, whoa, look what we have here!
Rachel: *Holding a gun* They came alone, how foolish!
Dr. House: *He had ran away and was standing behind a van on the opposite side of the parking lot* That is not foolish *Comes out of the van and takes two shots at Rachel* Not washing your teeth everyday is *Hides again, but the shots miss*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/house2.jpg

Ross: *Aims with his rocket launcher at the van the Doctor is using as a shield* Now you shall taste the power of “The Divorce Force”
Jack: NO! *Jumps over the car and throws a grenade at Ross before he can pull the trigger* GET DOWN!! *The grenade flies in slow motion as, everyone`s eyes fixed on it*
Joey: *Gets out of the warehouse, smiling* Hey, hey, hey, what`s up? *Sees the grenade* Holy [CENSORED] *Gets in the warehouse again*
Just as the grenade is about to fall at Ross` feet, everything freezes. Nobody moves anymore, the grenade floats in the air, time has stopped. Hiro Nakamura and Peter Petrelli walk into the screen
Peter: Looks like we avoided another catastrophe…
Hiro: Hai, okagesama de genki desu… bokutachi no kachi da! Yatta!
Peter: Um, what?
Hiro: Oh, sori, I keep forgetting you not Ando *Dr. House slowly walks in their view from behind the van* Nandayooo?!
Peter: H… how can you move…?!
Dr. House: Science has yet to explain many things…
Hiro: B… but… I Hiro, I bend time and space! *House takes his stick and aims at them*
Peter: Y… tou can`t! You said you only had two more shells on that thing…!!
Dr. House: *Glares at them* Everybody lies… *Shoots*

Oh, shhhhhhhhoot…! That wasn`t the correct tape… *Takes it out* You all SO didn`t see that *Puts the correct one in* Well, if you don`t remember what happened in the last chapter, go read it again, no more time for recaps…!

- Uruga

Attila stood before the rest of us, with the bloodthirsty Ako in front of him…
Attila: I`m going to exorcise this girl
Lenore: What, exorcise?
Attila: Yes, she is obviously possessed by some kind of negative force…
Ako: You can`t stop us… you… can`t… stop us… youcan`tstopusyoucan`tstopusyoucan`tstopus….!!! *Lunges at Attila, who blocks her axe with his shield*
Attila: Stay back, guys!
Neo: Y… you don`t need any kind of help?
Attila: No, I can do this alone… *Ako rolls to the side and swings her axe back, Attila blocks it with his hammer, then Ako jumps to the side and inflicts a cut on his shoulder* OW! On second thoughts, seize her!
Lenore: Yeah! *Neo, Lenore and Zappy rush towards Ako to capture her*
Ako: Not so fast, idiots! *Ako opens her arms and shouts at them, using MOCK* YOU ALL SUCK!!
Neo: H… huh? What… what`s this feeling…? *Slowly grabs his sword by the handle*
Zappy: I… can`t control… myself… *Takes his bow*
Attila: What are you doing, guys?!
Lenore: I… can`t resist the urge… to attack her… instead of capturing her… *Lifts her hammer and attacks Ako, who dodges to the side*
Ako: Heheh… *Insane grin*
Zappy: So this is what monsters feel… *Starts shooting arrows at Ako, who avoids them with catlike agility* We`ll have to wait till the effect passes…!
Neo: Since when does mock affect other players, though?! *Cracks the earth before Ako with a POWER HIT, but Ako jumps over his head* Auch, why you little…!
Attila: *Tries to heal them all, since Ako was all into attacking now* C`mon guys, hang in there!
Ako: You`re pitiful, your attempts to resist are ridiculous! *Launches an attack against Zappy, who barely avoids it*
Zappy: Resist what, Ako?
Ako: Our invasion! We shall take over Isya, it is finally our time to rise!
Zappy: Who is “we”?
Ako: Hah, and you think I`m gonna tell you?
Zappy: I don`t think you will, since you probably don`t know anything…
Ako: Huh?
Zappy: You`re just trolling. Troll
Ako: What did you say?!
Neo: *Thinks* Good, Zappy`s trolling abilities are winning us time while they get us information…
Zappy: I don`t think there`s an invasion or anything, you just wanna justify yourelf
Ako: Justify?
Zappy: Yeah. You wanna get more Kill Points so that you can get into the Leaderboards
Ako: What… the… heck…
Zappy: You want to score more than me, huh? But I`m not letting that happen… *Aims a poisoned arrow at Ako`s forehead*
Ako: I don`t want to get into your stupid leaderboards!! There IS an invasion!

http://www.gamingmmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/o_rly.jpg

Zappy: O RLY
Ako: Yeah!!
Zappy: You have to say YA RLY
Ako: Oh… YA RLY
Zappy: NO WAI!!
Ako: SRSLY… wait, what am I doing?! *Lenore stealthily heals herself*
Neo: *Notices Lenore and thinks* Hm, Lenore healed, that means we`re not under mock any more… it`s our chance to capture Ako… but first I have to weaken her attack… *Stands behind Ako*
Zappy: *Was still talking to ako* You know that what you`re doing is against the ToS?
Ako: What, really…? Agh, I mean, of course I know!! And I don`t care…!
Neo: Hey Ako! *Ako turns around just as Neo uses DEMORALIZING HIT* YOUR VIDEOS ARE HORRIBLE!!
Ako: WHAT…?! *Opens her eyes wide as she drops her axe*
Neo: *Points at her* Now`s our chance! *Him and Zappy grab Ako by the arms, Lenore takes her axe away*
Ako: Release me at once…!! *Struggles*
Neo: No
Ako: Aw…
Attila: Perfect… *Gets ready* Now just let me… *Lenore stops him*
Lenore: Hold on a sec, Attila… lemme ask first *Stands in front of Lenore* Okay, Ako or whoever you are, we want some answers… what happened to you?
Ako: I won`t say anything…
Lenore: What-happened-to-you?
Ako: You are all going to die…
Lenore: What happened to you?!
Ako: I was affected by a dark force known as “Evil”
Neo: Huh?
Zappy: Wat
Lenore: Why did you answer now?
Ako: Agh… I can`t stand when they ask me questions three times…
Lenore: What`s up with this Evil force?
Ako: My lips are sealed…
Lenore: Agh… what`s up with this Evil force?
Ako: I spit on you, Lenore… *Effectively, Ako spits on her face*
Lenore: *Gasps and looks at Ako surprised* … YOU [CENSORED]!! *Raises her hand to slap her*
Attila: Lenore, Lenore… remember what we want…
Lenore: Argh… tch… what`s up with this Evil force?!
Ako: Darn, third time… Evil is a force that focuses on purposefully trying to ruin other`s well being, that`s what Evil is… its main agent has been awakened recently, spreading the force all over Isya, contaminating the souls of players in its wake…
Neo: Whoa…
Zappy: Wait a second, that means there`s more?
Ako: I wouldn`t be surprised… if the same thing that happened to me… was happening to other players all over the game, hahahah…
Neo: Wha…? You mean…? *His whisphone starts ringing, and so do the whisphones of the others* Hello?!
Ako: Hahah… *Smiles widely as they all talk on their whisphones, Neo and Zappy still grabbing her*
Lenore: What…?
Attila: Where?!
Neo: W… when?!
Zappy: lol k n00b *They all hang up their whisphones at the same time, because this is fiction, delicious fiction*
Lenore: It`s [CENSORED] true…
Neo: Y… yeah, another friend of mine has gone nuts too…
Attila: Same here… it can`t be…
Zappy: Hahaha, oh wow, guys, you gotta hear this…
Lenore: Hm?
Zappy: Guess who`s on a rampage on abyss killing everyone right now?
Neo: Who is?
Zappy: Bored, hahaha~!
Attila: You mean the leader of the PKKers?
Zappy: Yeah, him! He`s just like Ako, killing everyone he sees~!
Neo: Oh, the irony… *Opens eyes wide*
Lenore: Tough luck, poor mate…
Ako: Hahaha~! See? What did I tell you? Soon everyone will be dead or infected, there is no escape…!!
Lenore: Argh… *Walks away from Ako, stands behind Attila* Exorcise the [CENSORED]
Attila: With pleasure… *Steps forward holding his hammer in front of him*
Ako: *Glares at Attila and growls* Grrrr…
Attila: *Shapes a cross with his hammer* In the name of Apoline, Bijou, Teva, and Epith…
Ako: Grrrrr…
Neo: This is gonna be schweet…
Zappy: Yeah…
Attila: *Takes out an apparently ordinary potion* I knew that saving some Holy Water from that Noxes quest would pay off in the end…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/holywater.jpg

Attila: *Scatters some water around and looks at Ako* May the Holy Hammer be my light…
Ako: Grrraarrghhh…
Attila: Let no PKer lead me… *Throws some water over Ako, it becomes vapor as it touches her*
Ako: Arghhhh…!! *Struggles more, Neo and Zappy have to make an effort in order not to let her go*
Attila: *Lifts his hammer up* Vade Retro, Evil Force!!
Ako: *Her head starts spinning* Ti wonk uoy dna eid ot gniog lla era uoy, eid ot gniog lla era uoy!!
Attila: *Sweating* Never tempt me with gold sites… *Throws more water* What you offer is against the ToS…!!
Ako: Ecalp ym ni emoc llahs esle enoemos tub em fo dir teg yam uoy, su pots reven lliw uoy!!
Attila: *Glares at Ako, determined* You get banned yourself! *Throws the rest of the water at Ako, who starts screaming in pain and becomes shrouded by a cloud of vapor*
Neo: Wah! *Releases Ako and steps away from the cloud* That was it, right?
Attila: That should do it…
Zappy: You sure we don`t need an ectoplasm trap?
Attila: I`m positive… *The vapor fades away to reveal Ako lying on the ground*
Lenore: Ako! *Kneels beside her* Ako, are you okay?
Ako: Yeah… I think… owww… *Grabs her head*
Neo: Thank god, Ako…
Ako: W… wait a sec… Lenore? Neo? What are you guys doing here?
Zappy: Hey… *Glares*
Ako: And how could I forget Zappy, hahah~ What happened, guys?
Attila: Well.. *Opens mouth*

EXPLANATION

Attila: *Closes mouth* That`s what happened
Ako: W… wow… I did all that…? I`m so sorry guys… I… don`t know what to say…
Lenore: No, don`t apologize, because it wasn`t you who did it. It was this whatchamacallit Evil force
Zappy: And it looks like its not only you doing this stuff, other players are being possessed by it too
Lenore: Yeah, they might be killing players somewhere else…
Zappy: Or scamming
Neo: Or swearing!
Attila: Or thinking they are not a support class when they really are!
Lenore: Oh my gosh, you serious?!
Attila: Yeah!!
Lenore: I figured
Neo: Guys… look!! *Points to the sky, where everyone looks*
Zappy: Wat
Lenore: … [CENSORED]

The sky had turned darker, and in the middle of it, floating right over Uruga, there was an enormous purple fortress, black and violet particles were surrounding it

Attila: Oh wow…
Lenore: What the [CENSORED] is that thing?!
Neo: It seems to be where all this Evil is coming from, right?
Attila: Yeah, it would be kinda obvious…
Zappy: Maybe it’s a trap?
Neo: Hm? *Looks at Zappy, dubious*
Zappy: Yeah, maybe that`s just a decoy and the Evil force is coming from somewhere else?
Attila: I don`t think so, Zap, these things tend to be quite easy to figure
Zappy: Okay… then what are we going to do now?

Lenore looked at Neo, and Neo looked at Lenore

Both: The Apoliner

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 5: The ship that makes you Feel Good

Allright, after Attila exorcised the Evil force out of Ako, our heroes noticed that a huge fortress had appeared in the sky over Uruga. Since it looked like things were about to get nasty, Neo and Lenore that it was time to get the Apoliner out of the garage…

- Ancient Elven Woods

Neo, Lenore, Attila, Zappy and Ako were running through the green fields of the Elven Woods, around them, chaos reigned. Infected players were attacking non-infected players everywhere, some were running, some were hiding, nobody was grinding anymore…
Greenky: Dude, what the heck is up?
Archon: I have no idea, man…
Greenky: Looks like they don`t need us anymore…
Archon: Yup
Greenky: Well, finally…
Archon: Yeah, finally…
Greenky: We`ve been waiting a lot of time for this day
Archon: Indeed… *They stay still watching*
Greenky: You know… this is a lot more boring than I thought it would be
Archon: Yeah…
Greenky: I think us monsters should gather and find a solution to this problem
Archon: *Looks at him* Charlie, shut the hell up

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Greenkyarchon.jpg

Our heroes run right past them
Attila: Looks like the monsters are troubled too…
Lenore: Huh? How do you know? It`s not like they speak our language…
Zappy: Actually, they do
Lenore: Shoot, you`re right…
Attila: I mean, they didn`t aggro us…
Neo: That`s right… anyway, we wouldn`t be able to stop and fight, we need to get to Burning Rock as soon as possible!
Ako: And what`s in Burning Rock? You didn`t tell us that yet
Neo: Something that will help us fight this Evil force
Attila: You said that before, but what is it, a weapon?
Ako: A monster?
Zappy: A 1337l-l4X?
Lenore: Hahaha, not even close guys, it`ll be a surprise…
Neo: Yeah, guess all you want, you`ll never get it right, hahaha~!
Zappy: A giant ship with cannons and a lot of weapons that`s on an underground chamber? *Neo and Lenore look at each other*
Neo: Erm… no… you`ll see when we get there, okay?
Zappy: lol k
Ako: So what`s exactly happening? Why do some people get infected and some others don`t?
Attila: Well, to determine that we would need to know a lot of things we don`t know. For example, there was a lot of people on abyss at the moment you started going on a rampage, but only you did that, everyone else remained normal
Ako: Yeah…
Attila: Then again, maybe you got “infected” before that, somewhere else. In that case the question would be where, and what triggered it
Neo: Maybe it takes some time to take effect?
Attila: Well, thank you captain obvious *Takes something out of his pocket* Here, have this Dim Soul Dust
Neo: Hey, thanks! *Doesn`t realize he`s being mocked and puts the dust away*
Lenore: *Looks around as they all run* And all of a sudden, it seems half of Isya`s population has been affected! They`re like zombies except they are fast, smart, don`t have bits of flesh dangling, and don`t want to eat brains…
Neo: Hahah, I bet Ako`s regretting that exorcism now!
Ako: Neo, this is no time for joking! What`s happening is very serious!
Neo: *Looks at Ako, very serious* EVERY time is time for joking
Ako: *Opens eyes widely* O… okay…
Zappy: Anyway guys, are you sure its that thing in the sky we gotta aim for? Because crazy Ako didn`t say anything about it… *Looks at the floating fortress behind them while running*
Attila: Zappy, we didn`t ask her about it, I`m pretty sure that its appearance is no coincidence…
Neo: Yeah, we need to attack that thing. It`s begging to be assaulted, I mean, just look at it! It screams “I`m the enemy baaaase~ Come raaaaid meeeee~!”
Ako: Yeah, okay, but how are we going to attack that thing if its so high up in the air?
Lenore: Well, that`s why we`re gonna go get this thing in Burning Rock
Zappy: Are you sure its not a giant ship with cannons and a lot of weapons that`s on an underground chamber?
Lenore: Erm…
Neo: Umm… oh, hey guys look at that rainbow!

- Forest of Slumber

The situation here was pretty much the same as the one in the woods
Archer guy: *Appears running beside them* Pt plz
Neo: *Surprised* Hm, what?
Lenore: He wants to party us, Neo
Neo: Oh! Just a sec, lemme see… *Counts* Ako, Len, Attila, Zappy, and me, that would be five. Sorry buddy, the party`s full
Archer guy: Plz
Neo: We can`t, man, I`m sorry
Archer guy: Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Neo: I said we can`t! I`m really sorry but we can`t!!
Archer guy: YOU AET PEE FOR BREAFAST *Runs in another direction*
Neo: *Looking forward* Argh, I wish we could stop and help everyone…
Ako: Was that a joke?
Neo: *Thinks for a second* No… darn, It wasn`t… *Surprised*
Attila: I wish we could do that too, but we can`t, we`d be losing too much time and we could never help them all…
Neo: Yeah, I know…
Lenore: We`d be helping everyone more by attacking the problem by its roots, which is what we`re gonna do
Neo: I know, I know…
Zappy: There are too many for us to help and…
Neo: I know, I already got my answer! Geez, what is this, the forums?! *Suddenly, two evil players appear in their way*
Ako: HALT!! *They all stop, but the evil players lunge at them, one of them with a sword and the other with a mace*
Lenore: *Stops the mace with her shield* Argh…!!
Ako: Whoa~! *Dodges the sword to the side* We don`t have time for this?
Evil fighter: Time, you say? Hahaha, for what?
Evil cleric: You know, those are really crappy last words…
Ako: No… *Points at him with her axe* THOSE are really crappy last words *In a flash, Ako cuts the cleric by half*
Evil fighter: Wha…?!
Neo: Wow… Attila, are you sure you exorcised her?
Attila: I`m beginning to doubt now…
Ako: Heh… mercy is a thing Ako does not know
Evil fighter: Well, what Ako also doesn`t know, is that it doesn`t matter… *Smirks* One of us will come and revive him, what did you think…?!
Neo: I`m sorry but we really get bored listening to henchmen *Steps forward*
Evil fighter: Henchmen? *Stands in defensive position*
Neo: Are you a boss?
Evil fighter: No…
Neo: Are you someone we know?
Evil fighter: I think I saw you in the forums once… but… no…
Neo: Is your name “Evil fighter”?
Evil fighter: Y… yeah…
Neo: You`re a henchman then…
Evil fighter: I`m a henchman… I`m a henchman… *Neo cuts his head off with his flamberge*
Neo: That`s what happens to henchmen
Attila: Wow, harsh
Lenore: Yeah… *Suddenly, a figure appears over a cliff near them*
Ako: Huh?! That`s…!
Doc: HAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! *Dr. Feelgood leaps from the cliff and lands in front of them, wearing his traditional smoking and trademark blue hair*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Feelgood2.jpg

Neo: Doc!
Doc: *Looks at Neo* OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
Zappy: How did you hax that cliff, Feelgood?
Doc: *Looks at the others* OMFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
Lenore: Doc, what the [CENSORED] are you doing here?
Doc: Same thing as you guys, running away! And it looks like you guys have an idea of what`s going on…
Lenore: Maaaaaaaaybe…
Doc: Maaaaaaaaybe…?
Lenore: Maaaaaaybe…
Doc: Awwwww, but I wanna go with you guys…
Neo: Tch, but we`re already 5…
Doc: Awww… *Snuggles against Neo* What`s this, Neo? You`re turning me down?
Neo: Well… um… *Looks at the ground*
Doc: Would you be capable of doing that, Neoooo~? *Snuggles closer, as the rest look*
Neo: Well, no… I mean… it`s just…
Doc: *Whispers in Neo`s ear* I know what you did with that Sylph… *Neo freezes* And I know about Raina, Remi and Julia too…
Neo: W… wha…? *Looks at him* How… how do you know about that…?
Doc: *Whispers again* Oh, that`s not important *Winks* If I don`t get to go with you guys, I might get a little frustrated and spill it all out…
Zappy: *Looking at them* What are they talking about…?
Lenore: I don`t really think I wanna know…
Ako: I think I heard “Remi” *Lenore freezes*
Lenore: Oh no you didn`t
Neo: *Stops talking in a low voice with the Doc* Okay everyone! The Doc is coming with us
Ako: Nice, even though there`s already five of us?
Neo: He can run by our side out of the party…
Doc: *Looks at Neo* That`s not what we agreed…
Neo: Agh, fine! *Leaves the party* I`ll go unpartied, the Doc will go with you guys *Gives Lenore an “I had to” look*
Lenore: Okay *Gives Neo a “This is what you get for being a sick [CENSORED]” look*
Attila: Ok guys, we don`t have a second more to lose, let`s go! *They start running towards Burning Rock*
Doc: So, where exactly are we going?
Attila: We`re going to Burning Rock, Neo and Lenore seem to have a magic solution for this problem
Doc: Yeah, about the problem…
Attila: Hm?
Doc: Well, what the [CENSORED] is going on? Huh? Why did it censor [CENSORED]? That`s not cursing! That`s just [CENSORED]! Oh great, now I look like some rude idiot just because I said [CENSORED]. There we go, and now I said it again. And it`s just [CENSORED], which is not cursing. It`s [CENSORED]! Argh!
Ako: Well, what is going on…
Neo: Attila, you do the honors
Attila: Awgh, why always me…?
Neo: You like explaining things
Attila: Good point… oh well~ *Opens mouth*

EXPLANATION

Attila: *Closes mouth* There we go…
Doc: OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! So that`s what`s been happening all along!!
Ako: Yup, and we`ll put an end to it…! *Closes fist*
Doc: OMFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/OMFG.jpg

And so, our heroes kept running, avoiding trouble till they reached Burning Rock, there, they made their way to the tunnel Neo and Lenore had opened 4 chapters ago. Upon reaching the tunnel, they followed it with Neo and Lenore leading the way till they reached…

- Underground pond

Neo: Ladies and gentlemen and Doc, I give you…! *Directs his hands towards the ship* THE APOLINER!!
There it was, the Apoliner, standing in front of them, omnipotent. Ako, Attila, Zappy and the Doc opened their eyes wide, unable to take them from the ship…
Zappy: Wat
Ako: Oh my gosh…
Attila: What… what is this…? Its… whoa…
Doc: Double-U-Tee-Eff…
Neo: Heheh, c`mon guys, first we gotta board it, you`ll have to take a little swim till those stairs, d`you see? *The others paid no attention, hypnotized by the colossal sight*
Lenore: GUYS! *The others snapped out of confusion*
Attila: Huh, what?
Lenore: We gotta get on this thing first *Points at the stairs* We`ll have to swim to those stairs, okay?
Zappy: Okay…
Attila: But… Neo, Lenore, what is this? What is it doing here?
Neo: I wish we knew, Attila. We found this here yesterday, we were trying to dig our way into Guardian`s Holy Shrine, I had found a map that claimed to include the route, right? Anyway, it seems we took a wrong turn or something, and we ended up here
Doc: And this thing was here?
Lenore: Yeah. Same as you see it now… we found it like this
Ako: So mysterious… and… wow… I`m really speechless
Neo: We really don`t know anything about it. But we think this thing will help us out fighting this new invasion
Doc: You think it will…? *Raises an eyebrow*
Lenore: We have nothing to lose *Shrugs*
Neo: Well, we may have something to lose, but… *Points at the ship* Can you say “No” to that?

- Apoliner`s Deck

After boarding the ship, and drying all their armours on the deck, Neo and Lenore stood up
Attila: Well… n… now what do we do?
Lenore: Neo and I have to go do something at the bridge, you guys wait here, okay?
Neo: Hm? *Gives Lenore an “Do we?” look*
Lenore: *Gives Neo an “We do” look* C`mon, let`s go
Ako: Sure, we`ll wait here, no problem
Doc: I`ll take care of them! *Rests his sword on his shoulder* Don`t worry!
Zappy: Can I go?
Lenore: No Zappy, but you can come later
Zappy: Aw, okay. Can I go?
Neo: Hahaha, c`mon, Zappy…
Zappy: What? I`m serious *Neo and Lenore started walking towards the bridge*
Lenore: Heheh… phew, its still here…
Neo: Hm?
Lenore: Well, with all this nightmare, I was afraid that we`d come here and there`d be no ship
Neo: Whoa, that would`ve been… *Looks back to see the others checking the ship out in awe* … a bit embarrassing
Lenore: Hahahah, yeah… and, hey, aren`t you forgetting a little something?
Neo: Ummm… *Looks upwards and thinks a while* I don`t think so, why…?
Lenore: Nothing-nothing? How are we going to beat the bad guys with the ship?
Neo: Well… we`ll fly near them and… shoot the cannons, or ram them, or something like that, I guess…
Lenore: Exactly. And to do all that… won`t we need to turn this thing on?
Neo: *Nods* Aha, so wha… *Freezes* Crikey…
Lenore: *Smiles a worried smile* Yeah, remember? Last time you tried to turn this thing on… the ship pretty much laughed on your face
Neo: *Horrified, stares at nothingness* Y… yeah… *They reach the bridge, and walk up to the wheel, the keyhole started shining in proximity with the key*
Lenore: We might as well try…
Neo: *Takes out the gold key from his pocket* Right… *Kneels down* Right, yeah…
Lenore: *Crosses her fingers* Go…
Neo: Here we go… *Inserts the key* Yaaaarrrghh! *Turns the key around*

Nothing happens

Lenore: Oh, golly…
Neo: No… it can`t be…
Lenore: There has to be a trick to this…
Neo: *Serious* I have to make it work… I have to make this thing work…
Lenore: Hmmm…?
Neo: *Takes the key out* This is our only hope…
Lenore: Well, we haven`t actually explored our options, but…
Neo: No, this is our only hope, I can feel it… I know so *Looks at the key* I have to make it work to help everyone, to stop this nightmare!
Lenore: Whoa, someone`s motivated…
Neo: I have to do it for the others! *Aims with the key, which starts shining brighter* Here weeeeeee… GOOOOOOO----!!! *Lunges and insterts the key deep in the keyhole, the entire wheel lights up* YAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHHH---!!! *Turns the key and, at the same time, the wheel starts turning and everything on the ship lights up, the computers are turned on, sounds can be heard from nearby and afar*
Lenore: Hey! You did it!
Neo: YES!!
Lenore: Holy [CENSORED] it`s actually working!!
Neo: Hm… *Gets up* That`s how we do it on animes *Puts the key away*
Lenore: This is awesome!! *Neo stands in front of the window that faces the deck and waves at the others*
Ako: Hey, they turned this thing on! Look at all the lights!
Attila: Oh my gosh, I never thought something like this could exist here… it`s actually a flying battleship…
Zappy: We`ll need to get more people though… 6 of us won`t be enough, I think
Ako: I`m sure we can take care of that
Doc: Hm… *Looks at Neo and Lenore on the bridge, and smirks* Hm…

Chapter 6: The fellowship of the ship

After taking Ako, Attila, Zappy, and the recently found Dr. Feelgood to the Apoliner`s chamber, Lenore and Neo finally managed to get the enormous ship to work with a little golden key and willpower. The ship was ready to fight the forces of evil, however, something was missing: A tripulation

- Apoliner`s Bridge

A day had passed since that moment, Neo and Lenore were standing on the ship`s bridge, in front of the huge window that enabled them to look at the deck, which was full of people waiting…
Lenore: Looks like our advertising campaign was a success…
Neo: Heh, and you said you didn`t like the brochures I made… *Takes one out and looks at it* They`re perfect
Lenore: There`s a lot of people out there… you think we`ll be able to take them all?
Neo: Well, the more the merrier! We`re gonna need all the help we can get with this *Puts the brochure away as Ako and Zappy come in* Oh, hey!
Ako: *Carrying a pile of papers* We`ve finished taking the applications *Leaves the pile on a desk* Phew, we have a load of applicants…
Zappy: Most of them are women
Neo: Oh reeeeeeally…? *Turns to the window again and glances at the deck*
Zappy: Yeah, surprisingly enough…
Neo: Interesting, interesting… *Keeps looking*
Ako: Well Neo, you can look at the applications now, those are all of them
Neo: Oh, there`s no need for that
Ako: Huh?
Neo: We`ll recruit them all! *Nods*
Ako: What…?! Bu… but… you made them turn applications in… and… you made ME gather them all!
Neo: Yeah, you know, formal process and stuff… *Turns to Ako and places his hands on her shoulders* But we really can`t waste help in this situation, heheh…
Zappy: Neo`s right, if someone ends up causing problems we just throw them overboard
Neo: See? Zappy`s thinking. Leave the applications there, though, I may get bored later
Ako: Argh…
Lenore: Where`s Attila?
Zappy: In the deck, organizing the noobs
Neo: Zap, what did we say about that word?
Zappy: *Sigh* Sorry…
Neo: Say, d`you think we might have gold spammers among our new recruits?
Zappy: Well, I`m not sure, but I suspect of that group over there... *Points to a group outside the huge window*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Convention.jpg

Neo: I see... *The Doc bursts in*
Doc: HAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 11ONEONEELEVEN
Ako: *Startled* Wah, Doc!
Lenore: Doc, you can`t come here yet!
Doc: Aw, c`mon guys! I couldn`t hold my curiosity anymore! *Starts looking around* Hey this place is awesome…!
Neo: Doc, really, you have to wait downstairs on the deck until…
Doc: *Turns around* Hey, who put you in charge?
Neo: I don`t know, who put you in charge?
Doc: I don`t know, who put you in charge?
Neo: I don`t know, who put you in charge?
Doc: I don`t know, who put you in charge?
Neo: I don`t know wh—Argh…
Doc: I win
Ako: Guys, guys, c`mon, we gotta go downstairs anyway to give the announcement…
Neo: Yeah, let`s go
Doc: Which announcement?
Lenore: Well, to explain thoroughly what`s going on and what we`re going to do
Ako: and to let them know they`re part of the crew now and…
Doc: Wait a second, you mean I`m part of the crew too?!
Ako: Yeah, you are
Doc: OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

- Apoliner`s Deck

The deck was bustling with activity as everyone who had enrolled was talking and checking the ship out…
Kokoro: *Wearing glasses and a laptop on her back, Izzy-style* I can`t wait, I can`t wait!
Crystal: Hahaha, calm down, Koko! You`re so excited about… um… what… were we here for again?
Kokoro: We`re here to join this ship`s crew and fight against evil!
Crystal: Oh yeah… you mean the thing that`s making players go crazy, right?
Ewoyn: That`s right… *Pulls out her bow* And whatever it is, it shall find pain at the end of my arrows… *Aims an arrow at an invisible target*
Crystal: Wow, um… anyway… I hope they come soon, I`m getting really bored…
Kokoro: How can you get bored? Look at where we are! This place is awesome!
Ewoyn: You`re too excited, Koko… *Aims at invisible targets* This is not a game…
Kokoro: Oh… yeah, right…
Crystal: I wish they`d come… *Suddenly, a girl dressed in black slowly descends upside down from an upper area of the bridge, behind Crystal*
Ceri: They are coming…
Crystal: Wah!! *Turns around, scared* Oh my god, Ceri don`t scare me like that!
Ceri: Sorry… *Tries to land, but her rope fails, letting her hit the ground* OW!
Kokoro: Argh, are you okay?
Ceri: Yeay, yeah, happens often… *Gets up* Owoww…
Ewoyn: Hahahah, you should be more careful, wannabe ninja *Grins*
Ceri: Oh, I`m sorry *Smiles* Arwen poser
Ewoyn: *Points finger at her* Hey, Arwen sucks!
Kokoro: Hey, hey, calm down… and, um, Ceri you were saying that they were coming…?
Ceri: Yup, that`s what they said
Crystal: Finally! Wait, what they said? You were listening to them?
Ceri: Aha… *Points upwards* From up there
Crystal: Whoa you really that gathering information stuff, huh? *Knivy and Nam walk up to them*
Knivy: Hahahaha, since when did this story turn into The Powerpuff Girls?
Ewoyn: *Looks at him and raises an eyebrow* The Powerpuff Girls are three
Knivy: Yes
Ewoyn: And there`s four of us
Knivy: Aha…
Ewoyn: Sooooo…?
Knivy: I don`t follow
Ewoyn: Agh, never mind…
Kokoro: According to our super spy, the guys who are recruiting should appear soon
Nam: Ah, about time! It`s been more than an hour already, heh…
Crystal: Well, Kokoro here doesn`t mind waiting, heheh…
Kokoro: Ahh, stuff it! I just think it would be interesting, and… *A commotion can be heard as Neo and the others appear on the deck* Oh, there they are!

Attila: Can I have your attention, please? Everyone!! *Nobody listenes* Agh, shoot, I forgot to type /s… *Shouts* CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?! EVERYONE!! *Everyone gathers around them quickly* Heh, there we go…
Neo: Whoa… so many people… um…
Attila: They`re all yours, Neo… *Steps back and stands in a row with Ako, Zappy and the Doc*
Neo: Well, ummm, hello everyone… my name is Neoshaman…
Crowd: HELLO NEO…!!
Neo: Whoa, what`s this, a help group meeting? Heheh…
Lenore: Actually, it is
Neo: Thanks Lenore. Anyway, guys! *Talks to the crowd* You`ve all come here today because you want to be part of the tripulation of the Apoliner, right? By the way, the Apoliner is this ship we are standing on
Crowd: Ohhhhhhh…
Neo: Yeah… and I didn`t build it, no. Lenore and I found it two days ago here
Crowd: Ohhhhhhhh…
Neo: Aha, well… *Claps once* Which of you knows what`s happening out there, what`s the current situation…? *Everyone raises a hand* Without recurring to words like “Stuff”…? *Half of them lowers their hand* Or “Thingy”…? *The other half lowers their hand* Okay, well…
Attila: Want me to do the EXPLANATION thing?
Neo: Nah, its okay to recap sometimes, I`ll do it
Attila: Okay, okay
Neo: Well, apparently, something has awakened on Isya recently… we don`t know exactly when or what it is, but the effects of this agent waking up started to appear two days ago. I`m talking about the… Evil force
Crowd: Ohhhhhhhhhh…
Neo: Yeah, pretty creepy. This Evil force is invisible, as far as we know, and focuses on ruining other`s well being… *People on the crowd being to mutter*
Mage guy: Ruining others… well being…?
Archer girl: What the heck does that mean…?
Fighter girl: I really have no idea… I mean…
Zappy: *Steps forward* He means screwing others up
Crowd: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…!! *Understanding*
Neo: Thanks, Zappy…
Zappy: You`re welcome *Steps back into the row*
Neo: So anyway! This force floats around and infects other players, again we don`t know exactly how, but it makes them… well, evil, inflicts bad intentions upon them. So they go around killing people…
Crowd: Ahhhhhhh…
Neo: Well, and also, I don`t know if you`ve seen it, but a castle-like building appeared floating in the sky recently, purple and surrounded by some weird fog…
Kokoro: *Raises her hand* Oh, oh yeah! I`ve seen it!
Ewoyn: So did everyone else, Koko, shush!
Kokoro: No, no, I mean, I analyzed it with my computer!
Ewoyn: Hm?
Neo: You analyzed it with your computer…?
Kokoro: *Nods* Yeah, I determined the coordinates, and…
Neo: Wait, wait a second, we`ll see all that later, okay?
Kokoro: Oh… sure… wait, does that mean I`m in…?
Neo: Sure… I mean… you guys are all in
Crowd: Ohhhhhhh…!! *Surprised*
Lenore: Yeah, we weren`t gonna choose, we just needed some information about you before getting you to join, heh…
Ako: We also had to make sure none of you was Myles
Neo: You can never be too sure about that, heh… *Everyone starts talking*
Nam: Hah, you heard that, Knivy? I won
Knivy: Oh yeah? Well, I won too!
Nam: I win more than you
Knivy: Pie
Nam: Huh?
Knivy: I just won again
Neo: Well, we have enough room for everyone here, according to the numbers I have, so you guys can go find a place after we get orga… *Suddenly someone starts making its way through the crowd towards Neo and the others*
Archer dude: Ow!
Mage girl: Hey, watch out!
Crystal: Ey, be careful!
Ceri: *Falls to the side* Auch, not again…! *A girl steps out of the crowd and stops. She had bunny ears and was wearing an eyepatch and a kimono that looked as if her breasts were going to escape from there any moment*

Seras: Hmph!
Doc: *Raises his eyebrows* Wow
Seras: Who`s in charge here?! *Neo points at Lenore, who points at Attila, who points at Zappy, who points at Ako, who points at Neo* Okay… *Takes out a brochure* Easier, who wrote this thing…?

SEX

Make your way to Burning Rock~

The Evil guys we`re gonna knock~

Whisper Neoshaman or Lenore_lurks for more information

Neo: Oh! Oh, I did! *Points at himself* Awesome, huh? I spread them all over the area to advertise our cause, I really like how… *Seras slaps him* What the…?!
Seras: Are you some kind of incompetent fool?!
Doc: Oh my god… *Places a hand on Ako`s shoulder* I am in love
Neo: N… no… but…
Seras: You already gave away your intentions, name, and location to the enemy!!
Neo: Did I…? I… just… *Gives Lenore an “I could use some help here” look*
Lenore: Ohhh, don`t look at me, buddy… *Shrugs* I told you those brochures were rubbish, but you never lis… *Seras slaps her* What the [CENSORED] are you doing?!
Seras: You too!! Your name is on this thing, right?! *Shows her the brochure*
Lenore: Well, yeah, but he was the one who…
Seras: You`re equally responsible! Geez, guys, do you really not think…? *Turns around and checks the ship out from that place*
Doc: *Stares as he squishes Ako`s shoulder* I think my Metapod just used Harden…
Ako: DUDE!! *Gets away from him* Awww, man… agh… dude…
Neo: *Whispers at Lenore looking at the brochure* You think I screwed up?
Lenore: *Whispers back* Yeah, I think you did
Neo: *Whispers* What do you suggest we do…?
Lenore: *Whispers* Finish this thing quick because I gotta go to the bathroom
Neo: Okay… *Seras turns to face him* Oh, um… ahh…
Seras: I am your new mechanic
Neo: Huh? Wh… wha…
Seras: You have one already?
Neo: Uh, umm… n…
Seras: Fire him. I`m the best one
Neo: No, I mean… no we don`t have any…
Seras: Good. I`ll be at my chamber *Walks to the bridge*
Neo: H… hey, wait…!! *Seras keeps walking* Wow…
Lenore: What is with that woman…?!
Doc: This is my chance! *Runs to Seras, who keeps walking* Hey, cutie! What do you say I show you to your room, huh?
Seras: Get lost
Doc: *Stops following* Heh, she`s obviously crazy about me
Neo: *At the crowd* Well, um, guys, we have nothing more to explain on the matter, now we all know the same things. What we know for sure is that whatever is out there, its destroying the world we love so much. And are we going to allow that...?!
Crowd: NOOOOOOOOOO...!!
Neo: Are we gonna fight back...?!
Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEAH...!!
Neo: CAN WE DO IT...??!!
Crowd: YES-WE-CAN...!!!
Neo: Hahaha, that`s the spirit, everyone!! That`s all for today! Please, follow Ako and Attila inside and make yourselves comfortable till we take off in a while, we`ll have another meeting later. Dismissed! *The crowd disperses over the deck, Attila and Ako start guiding them to the rooms*
Zappy: Woot
Neo: Yeah… all that was weird, huh? *Someone pokes him on the side* Hm? *Turns to face a little archer girl who seems a bit shy* Oh, hi
Atoli: Ummm… uh…
Neo: Hah, yes? Don`t be shy
Atoli: No, ummm… I… I arrived late today
Neo: Oh, I see…
Atoli: I just got here when that creepy girl arrived…
Neo: Ah, don`t worry, don`t worry, I`ll explain everything to you later, now you gotta…
Atoli: No, but… I mean… do I get to come?
Neo: You mean with us? Hah, of course. Everyone does
Atoli: Really?! *A wide smile appeared on her face*
Neo: Yup, really! Now you gotta go find yourself a room before all the good ones are taken!
Atoli: I… I will! Thanks! *Runs to the interior of the ship*
Neo: Heheheh… *Looks at the roof of the underground chamber*
Lenore: *Comes back from the bathroom, relieved* Phew! Talk about AWESOME!! *Notices Neo* Huh? Thinking about that floating fortress? Wouldn`t this scene be awesome if you could actually see it?
Neo: Yeah… but… what could be going on in there…?

Let us answer Neo`s question…

- Evil Sky Fortress

The place was completely dark, a faint light in the center of a chamber illuminated some people around it, one of them was a cat-eyed girl wearing a white tiger outfit*…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/EvilMrew.jpg

Eerie voice: So… the players down there are organizing themselves?
Mrew: *Kneeling down, looking at the ground* Or so it would appear, my lord… they are gathering on a battleship they call “Apoliner”
Eerie voice: The Apoliner… yeah… I remember that…
Mrew: You… remember, my lord? *Raises head a little*
Eerie voice: Mrew…!!
Mrew: Yes!! *Lowers her head again quickly*
Eerie voice: I want you to get the “Dark Darkness” ready
Mrew: The… the Dark Darkness, sir…?
Eerie voice: Yes, I want you to get it ready right away, and find someone suitable to pilot it… we shall give those wannabe heroes a surprise, kukukukuh…
Mrew: Y… yes sir, right away… *Gets up and walks away slowly*
Eerie voice: Game Battleship Apoliner… the battle is ON again… *The light allows us to see the fist of this Evil Lord, who clenches it after lifting it*

Chapter 7: Fly me to the moon

- Apoliner`s bridge

After organizing the tripulation into the various cabins the Apoliner had, Ako and Attila returned to the Apoliner`s bridge, where Neo and Lenore were looking at the controls...
Ako: Phew… we`re done *Sits on a chair*
Attila: That was some work… *Looks at Neo* That`s a lot of people, we won`t be having problems with lack of personnel for a long time…
Neo: Yeah, unless we have the same luck as Odysseus who used to lose 99% of his crew multiple times
Lenore: Hm?
Neo: Yeah, to a cyclops, cannibal giants, a crazy witch, a twister, a monster with multiple heads… they were a bunch of wimps, it seems… our tripulation will be much better!
Lenore: Oh, yeah, Neo, ummm… about that…
Neo: Yes?
Lenore: About the… um, “Tripulation”
Neo: Aha, what about it?
Lenore: Ummm… *Looks at Attila and Ako*
Attila: We really didn`t know if we should tell this to you, man… but we think it`s for the best
Ako: Yeah, please, don`t be mad
Neo: Wh… what`s the matter, guys? You`re starting to scare me…
Attila: Aghh… yeah… Lenore, you should tell him, you`re closer to him
Lenore: Yeah, I guess… well, Neo… *Places both hands on his shoulders*
Neo: Y… yes… Lenore…? *Eyes wide open, as if he was some sort of Tim Burton creation*
Lenore: You`ve been talking about a “Tripulation” for a long time…
Neo: Aha… yes… I have… *Shaking*
Lenore: Aha, but Neo… the word “Tripulation” doesn`t exist
Neo: Huh…?
Lenore: It`s not a word
Neo: B… but…
Lenore: The word used to refer to people who work on a ship is “Crew”, not “Tripulation”
Neo: S… so you mean… I`ve been wrong all the time…?
Ako: *Looks at the ground* Sorry, Neo… we`re really sorry… I…
Neo: No!! *Shakes Lenore off* Why didn`t ANYONE tell me!
Lenore: Neo, we weren`t sure ourselves!
Attila: We thought you meant something else, or… something, we don`t know!
Neo: I`ve been speaking spanglish unintentionally this whole time and nobody told me! *Glares at them*
Ako: We thought it was a word in your language!
Neo: It darn well is a word in my language! “Tripulaciòn”! But now I find out “Tripulation” doesn`t!
Attila: It`s okay Neo, it`s not the end of the world! I know how you feel, I…!
Neo: NO YOU DON`T!!! *Grabs a flowerpot and crashes it against the floor*
Lenore: NEO STOP BEING A [CENSORED]!!!
Neo: SHUT THE [CENSORED] UP!! *Points finger* Traitor!
Lenore: What…?! Listen to me, you [CENSORED] captain Kirk wannabe…
Neo: What did you just say…?! You sick goatse lover…!!
Lenore: Oh no you didn`t…!! *Runs up to Neo and chokes him* Why you little…!!
Neo: Arghhhh-aghhhh…!! *Opens mouth wide*
Ako: Lenore, don`t! *Grabs Lenore and tries to pull her away*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/page9_blog_entry25_8.jpg

Suddenly, Seras breaks into the bridge with a loud noise…
Seras: WHAT THE FLIPPIN` HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING…??!! *Everyone freezes and looks at her*
Neo: Heh… heheh…
Ako: W… we just…
Lenore: We were…
Seras: Not figuring out how to make this thing move, I`m sure!! *Walks up to the controls and looks at them*
Attila: Um… you`re sadly right
Lenore: *Lets go of Neo* We`ll settle this later, Piccard…
Neo: As you wish, /b/tard…
Seras: Geez… you guys really are useless… *Pulls out a wrench* Okay, so, I already checked the machine room and made a few basic adjustments…
Attila: A… already?
Seras: Yeah, already. Unlike some others, I do my job. This thing is ready to fly *Points at the control panel* But I`m guessing nobody here knows how to do such thing
Lenore: Well, not yet… but we can… learn?
Seras: *Sigh* We don`t have much time, the enemy probably already knows where we are, we need to get out of here, fast, okay?
Neo: Yeah, yeah, I understand that… but nobody used these things before… *Looks at Seras expectantly*
Seras: Don`t ya be looking at me, I`m not touching that *Lifts hands* My thing is mechanics
Ako: If only someone here knew how to pilot this thing… *A woman speaks from the door of the bridge*
Mystra: Um… I do *Raises a hand slowly, as everyone turns to look at her*
Lenore: Hm? Oh! I think I saw you down there before!
Mystra: *Steps up to them* Yes, pleased to meet you, I`m Mystra. Former Veritech VF-1J fighter pilot from the SDF-1
Lenore: Former what from where?!
Mystra: Arghh… um, how to explain…
Ako: Hahm, sounds as if you… came from another world!
Mystra: That`s it!
Ako: Huh?
Mystra: I come from another world. A long time ago, I used to travel on a ship like this one, it was called SDF-1
Lenore: SDF-1? Shut Da [CENSORED] One?
Mystra: No, Super Dimension Fortress One

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/SDF-1_Macross_Ship_Small.jpg

Lenore: Ah…
Mystra: It was very similar to this ship, except on the size, but I think I can help you getting it started…
Neo: Yesh! That`s exactly what we were looking for! *Points at the commands* Do your thing, Mys~!
Mystra: Well, first of all, you`re pointing to the weapon panel
Neo: Oh…
Mystra: The navigation panel, is over there *Points at another panel*
Neo: I see…
Mystra: I`ll teach the basics, but I won`t be able to pilot it myself, since I`m a fighter pilot, and there`s something I gotta show you later…
Neo: Okay… *Looks at the others, and the others look at him* Hey, I can`t, I`m the captain!
Lenore: And I`m the Chief Tactical Officer, hah!
Ako: And I`m the… the… the Chief Weaponry Officer! That`s right!
Attila: *Sigh* You guys… I`ll do it… *Sits in front of the commands*
Neo: *Puts a hand on Attila`s shoulder* Excelent! *Looks at Mystra* Teach him everything, I need to take care of something else now…
Mystra: Sure, but you`d better learn some of it later. And I still need to show you something I found…
Neo: Yup, yup~! *Walks to the weapons panel* Now… before we take off we gotta take care of something else…
Seras: I`m glad you noticed
Ako: Of what…?
Neo: *Points upwards* The roof above us
Ako: Ohhhh… that…
Seras: Yeah, we`re at an underground chamber
Lenore: Luckily, this thing has a lot of cannons, heheh…
Neo: Indeed, we need to use them to make an escape route… *Looks at Ako and smirks* Akoooo~? You said you were the Chief Weaponry Officer~?
Ako: Um, yeah, well…
Neo: No whining *Points at the weapon control panel*
Ako: Heh… okay… *Sits in front of the panel* Let`s see… I`ve seen the diagram of the ship before, these here are the Super AWSM cannons, the ones on the front, these are the Lolcano Blasters… there`s a button for the beak? I wonder what it does… and these other buttons… I wonder what they do? Oh… this one doesn`t figure on the diagram…
Lenore: It must be hidden…
Ako: Aha… “Positron rifle”… sounds nice…
Seras: We have no time to check everything out, I suggest using one of the cannons on the front
Ako: Yeah, that`s true… *Places her hand over one of the Super AWSM cannon`s levers* Mhhh…
Neo: *Walks up to the huge window* Let`s see… pull the lever!
Ako: Yeah *Starts pulling upwards, one of the cannons starts pointing in the same direction*
Neo: Hey, cannon number one is moving! Keep at it…! *Ako keeps pulling until the cannon points straight upwards* There! Now shoot!
Ako: I guess it`s this button… here it goes! *Presses the button on the lever*
Neo: BLAST OFF---!! *The cannon shoots a powerful blast that hits the roof of the cavern, but doesn`t pierce through it* Ohhh, it left a nice crater!
Seras: Do it again!
Ako: Yes! *Pushes the button again, the cannon shoots again*
Neo: Not yet, MOAR! *Ako keeps shotting the cannon one, two, three more times, till the blast finally goes through the roof of the chamber with a loud noise* HELLZ YEAH!! *Jumps and punches the air*
Ako: There we go…
Lenore: Ahhhh, we can finally see the sky… the red sky of Burning Rock… *All of a sudden, Crystal, Ceri, Ewoyn and Kokoro run inside the bridge*
Kokoro: What was that noise…?!
Crystal: What happened? We just heard…! What… did we hear?
Ako: Oops, we should`ve seen this coming…
Lenore: Don`t worry girls, we were just blowing the chamber`s ceiling up so that we can take off *Looks at Neo* Neo, you`d better make an announcement or something
Neo: I`m on it… *Grabs the ship`s microphone* Hello everyone, this is your captain speaking! If you just heard a loud noise, it was us destroying this cavern`s roof in order to take off soon. Please don`t be alarmed and return to your activities, thank you~!
Kokoro: Phew… we got worried…
Ewoyn: I told you it was nothing… anyway, whatever it was, I would`ve been able to dodge it with my over 1K Evasion…
Ceri: Ewo, stop that
Ewoyn: And whatever it was they shot down, I would`ve done it better with my 1.2K aim, hmph…
Neo: Ugh… *Walks up to her* Missy, stat talk is definitely NOT allowed in this ship. It makes me wanna…
Ewoyn: Huh? I beg your pardon? I bet your stats aren`t half as good as…! *Ceri covers Ewo`s mouth with her hands*
Ceri: That`s okay, she won`t do it again, heheh… *Knivy and Nam appear the bridge*
Knivy: Whoa, whoa, whoa, if it isn`t the Powerpuff Girls…
Crystal: Again with that…?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/fiesta-powerpuff_girls-v4-s.jpg

Knivy: *Smirks* Sue me, hahaha~
Nam: Are they giving you any trouble, captain?
Neo: No, no, as long as the one with the bow refrains from mentioning stats again… *Glares*
Ewoyn: *Points at him* Your HP sucks for a tank!!
Neo: *Covers his ears and closes his eyes* Take her away, take her away!!
Knivy: Hahaha~ There you go, Powerpuff Girls~!
Seras: This place is starting to get a little bit crowded… *Looks at the newcomers*
Lenore: Huh? *Looks at Seras* And who invited you here?
Seras: *Ignores her* We need to take off as soon as possible
Nam: We`re gonna take off now?
Neo: Yup, can you gu—?
Nam: Schweet!
Knivy: About time, cap`n!
Neo: Hah, yeah. Can you guys please go back? I`ll get to you later…
Ceri: Sure, sure, we just came because of the noise anyway…
Neo: Oh, except you Kokoro!
Kokoro: Hm?
Neo: Can you stay a little? I need you to show us your analysis
Kokoro: Oh, of course! I`ll catch you later, girls
Crystal: Sure Koko, don`t have too much fun, hahaha~ *The Powerpuff girls leave with Knivy and Nam*
Seras: That`s better…
Lenore: *Whispers at Neo* What`s with her attitude?
Neo: *Whispers back* I really don`t know…
Lenore: *Whispers* Well, then kick her outta here!
Neo: *Whispers* I… I… I can`t…
Lenore: *Whispers* Grow a pair, man…
Ako: *From her chair* Hey, Attila! How`s it going?
Attila: *With his hands all over the control panel* I`m starting to get the hang of it…
Mystra: Hahaha, oh no… you won`t get the hang of it till you really get to pilot it
Attila: Ugh, thanks…
Mystra: We`ll need a bit more time here…
Lenore: That`s okay, we need Koko here to show us her stuff
Kokoro: Aha! *Puts her laptop on a table and opens it* When I first saw that fortress there in the sky, I knew something weird was going on…
Seras: What a coincidence! So did I! Tch… *Walks to the other side*
Kokoro: Um… well… *Looks at Seras, worried*
Lenore: Don`t mind her, don`t mind her…
Kokoro: Okay… *Concentrates on the screen again, while adjusting her glasses* So! I used my computer to analyze that thing in the sky, and this popped up…!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/EF1.jpg

Neo: Wow… that… doesn`t really look like the fortress…
Kokoro: Exactly!
Neo: Exactly?
Kokoro: That`s exactly it! When I took a picture of that thing in the sky and analyzed it in the computer, this is what it showed, it means the fortress or whatever it is, is covered by some sort of protective veil, probably made of that “Evil force” you were mentioning earlier
Lenore: That makes sense, since even though it doesn`t look like the fortress, it has its shape, look… *Lenore traces the shape*
Neo: You`re right… so it has something around it…
Kokoro: Yup, like a shield. That also means that the thing is not as close as it seems, since the particles around it are mirrored, the thing could be much further away, and not really over Uruga
Lenore: You mean, like… a projection?
Kokoro: Kinda like one, it`s not like what you saw up there was a mirage, it`s more like… when you see things through a lens and they appear closer than what they really are…
Neo: *Serious* Or when a man is deceived by a woman`s affection and care, mistakes it for attraction and thinks she`s closer than what she really is, oh the cruelty, what an unfortu… *Notices Lenore and Kokoro staring at him* Oops…
Lenore: Erm…
Neo: I mean, this is really interesting Kokoro, you appear to be really good with this kind of stuff…
Kokoro: Yeah, I love computers and technology!
Neo: Heheh, very well then! You shall join us in the bridge!
Kokoro: What? Here? Really?
Neo: Aha, its not like we have many experts aboard, y`know, heh heh heh…
Kokoro: That`s great! Now, that`s what I found out on the first scan, now, on the sec…
Attila: Okay guys, I`m ready!
Lenore: *Looks at Mystra* He`s ready?
Mystra: *Nods* He`s ready
Neo: He`s ready then
Attila: Yeah, I`m ready!
Ako: You`re ready, man
Kokoro: We`re ready?
Lenore: He`s ready
Kokoro: So we`re ready!
Neo: Yeah, we`re ready
Mystra: Okay, remember what I taught you…
Attila: Yeah, I got it… *Attila starts working on the panel, pulling levers, pressing buttons and stuff, and suddenly the huge ship separates itself from the ground
Ako: Whoa…!!
Attila: Heh… *The ship tumbles a little and hits one of the sides of the cavern*
Kokoro: Kyaaa!! *Closes her eyes and holds onto her laptop*
Neo: Waahhh…!! *Closes his eyes and holds onto Seras*
Seras: Ummm… *Raises an eyebrow*
Neo: Whoops, heheh… *Lets go*
Lenore: Wooooow…!! *Falls to the floor* Awch… Neo, you`d better make an announcement…
Neo: Yeah… *Grabs the mic* Guys, we`re taking off! Awesome, inorite?! It`s gonna get a bit bumpy, so I suggest you hold onto something!
Attila: Here we go agaaaain~! *The ship makes its way to the opening in the roof and passes through it slowly, while everyone waits expectantly*
Mystra: Hahaha, there we go…
Ako: Yeah, we did it! *Attila glares at her* Well, you did it…
Neo* Runs to the window and looks at the sky* Hell yeah! We`re finally flying! This thing can fly, this thing can fly!!
Lenore: Hahaha, we`d be in trouble if it couldn`t, huh?
Neo: *Keeps jumping, looking at the sky* Yeah, yeah, yeah!! *Punches the air* The sky`s the limit!!

Chapter 8: Rescue mission

- Evil Sky Fortress

Once again, darkness covers the whole area and we can`t see a thing, except for a faint light in the center. Mrew enters and kneels before whatever is in the center, unfortunately, we cannot see over there neither. There`s someone else standing near her…
Mrew: My lord, the Dark Darkness is ready to take off…
Eerie voice: Aha… did you find a suitable pilot, Mrew?
Mrew: Umm… about that, my lord… I… I couldn`t find anyone suitable for the job among our troops yet…
Eerie voice: What? Nobody?
Mrew: N… no, my lord… I… didn`t have enough time to…
Kitone: Hah! *Shrugs* Enough time? My lord, I told you Mrew would be useless *Turns to her* She can`t even get the Dark Darkness to fly by herself, heh….
Mrew: *Glaring at her from her kneeling position* Kitone…
Kitone: *Turns to the Evil lord* My lord, let me go instead! I`m ready for it, and I`ll wipe those rebels off the map!
Eerie voice: Kitone…
Kitone: My lord!
Eerie voice: Are you maybe… trying to tell me what to do? *Snaps his finger*
Kitone: Ngh… n… no… my lord… I…
Eerie voice: You know I don`t like that…
Kitone: Yes… my lord… I was just… *Mrew smirks*
Eerie voice: You both will go on the Dark Darkness
Mrew: What?
Kitone: Both?
Eerie voice: Yes. Take all the men you need, and don`t make me regret this…
Kitone: N… not at all, my lord! I`ll take them out myself, you`ll see!!
Mrew: *Kneels once more* I won`t disappoint you, my lord *Gets up*
Eerie voice: You can go now…
Kitone: *Starts walking towards the exit* Let`s go, Mrew…
Mrew: Tch… *Glares at Kitone as she leaves too*
Kitone: Just keep up with me and you`ll be fine, heh… *Smirks*

Oblivious to these preparations on the evil side, the Apoliner was flying quietly towards Uruga…

- Apoliner`s bridge

Attila and Ako were sitting at their respective panels, looking bored as the ship slowly crossed the skies. Kokoro was sitting on in front of the computers and the radars, looking busy as she wrote stuff and pressed keys. Lenore was at the coffee machine and Neo was standing in front of the front window with his arms crossed, looking at the sky…
Neo: *Speaking to himself* Captain`s log…
Ako: *Smiles* Pfffffttt…
Lenore: *Pouring coffee into a cup* Heh… heheh…
Neo: *Looks at them* What? Captain`s log
Ako: Pfffttt… hahahaha…!
Lenore: Heh… captain`s log, hahahahaha!
Attila: Hm? What?
Neo: What`s with capta… Oh! Oh, I get it now! Hahahaha!
Ako: *Takes the laughter to a whole new level* Hahahahaha…!! Oh, man, hahaha!!
Lenore: HAHAHAHA!! *Has to leave the coffee on the table* Ahhh, [CENSORED], HAHAHA…!!
Attila: What`s with the captain`s log? Oh… ah, that. Ha-ha-ha, so funny
Neo: Hahahaha!! Captain`s log, dude!!
Attila: Yeah, yeah, you`re all so mature
Lenore: HAHAHA MAN, CAPTAIN`S LOG, I MEAN, HAHAHA…!!
Attila: By the way Neo, you`re the captain
Neo: Hahahahaha…!! I`m the… hey, that`s not funny at all
Attila: Heh… *Ako and Lenore couldn`t stop laughing*
Neo: Anyway, captain`s log! Stardate… umm… today! We`ve began moving towards Uruga in hopes of getting closer to the evil fortress… we`re going at a steady pace, ummmm, and… umm… *Turns to the others* Guys, I need facts for my captain`s log!
Lenore: Pffffttt…
Ako: Hahah… you could say… hahahah, you could say that… that… hahaha, never mind, there`s children watching, hahaha…!!
Neo: Ah, c`mon! *Turns around again* Tch, Kokoro, help me outta here! I`m sure you have lots of facts…!
Kokoro: Well, actually… *Sips coffee* There`s nothing much to… *Looks at the screen and spits the coffee* We`re receiving a distress call!
Neo: Hah, nice one Koko, but I`m not falling for it…
Kokoro: No, really, we`re receiving a distress call from Concealed Prison!
Neo: First or second floor?
Kokoro: Second floor! Want me to play it…?
Neo: Don`t even bother then, we don`t have time to stray that much from our path, we have an objective and we must stick to it…
Kokoro: According to the radar here, the person sending the message is 100% korean and 110% chick
Neo: *Looks seriously at Kokoro* Play the message…
Kokoro: Y… yes! *Presses some keys and the recorded message appears on the TV. Oh didn`t you know they had a TV? Well, yeah. A big one, too*

Princess Eirlyn: Hello? Is anyone getting this? Oh gosh, I hope someone gets it… *Holds the camera herself, like on Blair Witch, without the snot though* Well, ummm… I`m princess Eirlyn. My real name is none of your business. I am legal and awesomesauce. Evil players have kidnapped me and have me captive inside the second floor of Concealed Prison, I need a brave knight in shining armour to come and rescue me so that we can live happily ever after. I need to be going now, they`ll be here soon and if they find me doing this they`ll… oh my god, they`re here…! *Loud sounds can be heard nearby* Oh my…! *The camera drops* Kyaaaaaahhhhhh…!!

Lenore: Whoa, we haven`t been airborne for half an hour and we already have a distress call… we`re that popular already?
Attila: Well, it`s too bad we can`t go and…
Neo: *Crosses arms* Attila, modify our course, we`re going to Concealed Prison
Attila: What?! But you said…!
Neo: I know what I said. I say lots of things *Glares* Concealed Prison. Nao
Attila: Fine, geez… *Starts working on the panel as the ship changes its course*
Neo: She`s a princess, princesses HAVE to be saved, that`s how life is…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/papermario.jpg

Ako: Neo, how are we gonna get the ship into Concealed Prison? You know it`s underground…
Neo: *Pats Ako in the head* We won`t, my dear Ako, we`ll go ourselves
Lenore: You mean someone else will go. You`re staying here
Neo: Huh?
Lenore: Yup, you`ll have to send a team
Neo: B… but she said… she said knight in shining armour…
Lenore: Yeah. But a captain never abandons his ship
Neo: Ahhh, darn… well, I`m sending girls after her, not guys, tch…
Ako: Better make an announcement, then…
Lenore: Yeah, I`ll do it *Grabs the ship`s microphone* Hello everyone! This is Lenore here, the Chief Tactical Officer and stuff, I have to inform you that because of our captain not being able to control his hormones we`re gonna make an emergency stop at Concealed Prison to process a rescue mission. Thank you very much
Neo: Hey! I can control my hormones! … I just don`t want to
Attila: Well… *Sits back* All done, we`ll be there shortly
Ako: And we`ll have to stay here, talk about boring… *Mystra enters the bridge* Oh, hi Mys!
Mystra: Hello, hello. I heard the message, so we`re going on a rescue mission?
Neo: Yeah, I`m sending a group to take care of it
Mystra: Then I`d like to show you what I told you before, remember? While we get to the prison
Neo: Sure, sure, what is it…?
Mystra: I need you to follow me, come…
Lenore: I wanna go too
Ako: I`ll stay here and make Attila some company… *Attila lifts his head and glares at Ako* Screw that, I`m going with you guys *Mystra exits the bridge as they follow her*

- N.O.O.B. Storage

Neo, Lenore and Ako follow Mystra out of the bridge and down a set of stairs, then into a sort of basement. Mystra stops before an enormous door, a plaque beside it reads “N.O.O.B. Storage”
Neo: Whoa, what is this place?
Lenore: We didn`t see this area the first time we explored the ship… right Neo?
Neo: No we didn`t, but I do remember seeing a “N.O.O.B. Storage” in the map of the ship… so that`s where it was…
Ako: What`s a N.O.O.B. anyway? And why do they store them in here?
Mystra: You`ll see… *She opens the door and they all walk inside*
Ako: Oh… my… god…

Inside the storage, there was an important amount of robots of all shapes and sizes. Some were like personal spaceships, some were humanoid, and some of them had the shapes of animals. They all looked awesome, though, standing there motionless looking all technological

Lenore: What… the heck… is this?
Mystra: *Walks among the robots* These are N.O.O.B., Naturally Offensive Operative Bots. They`re similar as the Veritech I used to operate when serving on the SDF-1… so, when I found this place shortly after entering the ship for the first time, I knew exactly what these were…
Neo: N.O.O.B.s, huh…? Whoa, these will be useful… *Looks at Mystra* Right?
Mystra: Oh yes… think of them as personal battle robots *Places her hand on one of them* Operating them is really easy too, you see, you just have to use the power of your mind, and a couple of buttons…
Ako: Our mind…?
Mystra: Yeah, when you get inside, you become one with them…
Neo: Hawt
Lenore: Oh, shaddup! *Slaps him in the back of his head*
Neo: Ow! Watch it, woman!
Ako: One with them, huh… *They start walking around and looking at the robots*
Lenore: Oh, hahaha~! Hey Neo, look, I found yours…!
Neo: Where, where, where?! *Runs beside Lenore*
Lenore: Look!
Neo: Oh gosh… *In front of him there was a beautiful butterfly N.O.O.B.* This is… *A tear runs down his cheek* This is a dream…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Papilon.jpg

Mystra: Ah, that`s the “Papillion” model…
Neo: I`ll take it, how much do you want for it?
Mystra: Hm?
Neo: Sorry, i`m used to that… *Hugs the robot* This is my baby now…
Lenore: *Walks a bit more* Oh, and I`m keeping this one…
Ako: Hahaha, you sure you want that?
Lenore: Yeah, why not? They won`t see my super lethal attacks coming…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/hello-kitty-robot.jpg

Mystra: The “Kitty” model… that`s an advanced N.O.O.B., but I think you`ll manage
Lenore: You bet I will!
Ako: There`s lots of these things, in case we need it, we can assign them to the rest of the crew…!
Mystra: Aha, and I`m pretty sure Seras will be able to work on them, since their technology is the same one used on the ship itself…
Neo: I see… perfect then! This is a great advantage! Thanks Mys!
Mystra: Oh, no need to thank me…
Neo: But you found them, and you know what they are and how to use them, heheh… you also got this ship flying, so, thank you
Mystra: It`s just my duty as a combat pilot…
Neo: Heheh… *His purplephone starts ringing* Oh! *Answers* Hellooooo~?
Attila: Neo, we`re here
Neo: Here wheeeeere~?
Attila: You suck *Hungs up*

- Apoliner`s bridge

Neo`s standing in front of Ewoyn, Ceri and Crystal…
Neo: Okay girls, I have called you because there`s a mission I need you to take care of…
Ewoyn: A mission, huh…? *Puts her hand on her bow*
Ceri: Not yet, Ewo…
Ewoyn: I know…
Crystal: What`s the mission, Ne… I mean, captain?
Neo: You are to infiltrate Concealed Prison, which stands just below us, and reach its second level, to rescue Princess Eirlyn, who is being held hostage by infected players
Ewoyn: Princess Eirlyn? Who is that?
Neo: That doesn`t matter, a fellow player in distress needs us and that`s all that matters
Ako: *In her panel* Pffffttt…
Neo: She`s a princess, so you`ll recognize her when you see her. She`ll be the one crying for help
Ceri: Understood!
Lenore: Try to avoid fighting, remember you just have to enter and take the hostage out, that`s your top priority, there`s no need to fight everyone you see. Stealth is important, we`re counting on you for that, Ceri
Ceri: Heh, don`t worry, leave the infiltration to me! *Thumb up*
Ewoyn: Aw…
Lenore: I`m sure you`ll be able to use that thing, though
Ewoyn: I hope so…
Neo: Also, any kind of information about infected players that we don`t have yet would be greatly appreciated
Crystal: We can do it, don`t worry! *Knivy and Nam storm inside the bridge*
Knivy: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what`s this? The Powerpuff Girls are going on a mission…?!
Ewoyn: Oh great, not you again…
Crystal: Yeah, we`ve been assigned a mission. The first mission this ship has, nothing less, hahaha~!
Knivy: That`s lame *Looks at Neo* Why not send Knivy, the amazing supernoob? And his almost equally amazing partner Nam?
Neo: Well, uhhh…
Ewoyn: Well, duh! Isn`t it obvious? He`s sending us because he thinks we`re more capable than you…
Knivy: Lies
Lenore: Okay, okay, everyone calm down…
Nam: I`m sure there`s a mistake here, though…
Neo: There`s no mistake…
Nam: What?
Neo: I mean… argh…
Nam: Why are you sending them, cap`n?
Crystal: I told you already, we are awesome
Neo: It`s not that…
Crystal: *Looks at Neo, hurt* We`re not awesome?
Neo: No, no, you are…
Knivy: So they are more awesome than us, huh?
Neo: No, you`re all equally awesome!
Ewoyn: He`s saying that to comfort you, losers
Nam: What did you just say…?!
Lenore: STOP!! *Everyone shuts up* Neo wanted to go himself, but he can`t, because he has to stay here. He didn`t want a guy to go rescue the princess, so he`s sending the girls. THERE

Silence

Ceri, Ewoyn, Crystal, Knivy and Nam look at Neo, motionless

Neo: … [CENSORED]
Ceri: Hm…
Knivy: I see…
Crystal: Aha… so, guys
Nam: Yeah?
Crystal: Would you like to come with us?
Nam: We`d love to
Crystal: *Turns to Neo, smiling* We`re all going
Neo: O… okay… *Turns head around and glares at Lenore, who grins and waves back*
Ceri: We`re ready!
Neo: O… okay guys… we just need to leave you on the ground so the mission can begin, okay? Remember we also need to be quick…
Knivy: Yup, let`s do this!

Chapter 9: It`s a trap!

- Concealed Prison

Team Alpha (Ceri, Ewoyn, Crystal, Knivy and Nam) was running through one of Concealed Prison`s passages, Ceri leading the group, everything looked quiet…
Knivy: We there yet?
Ceri: No, we just passed the King Spiders, we still need to go through a bunch of rooms before reaching the second floor…
Crystal: This is strange, though… nobody`s showing up to stop us…
Nam: Well, maybe we`re doing a good job at hiding?
Ceri: I`m making sure of that, we won`t make a move if I sense there`s someone ahead
Crystal: God bless your sixth sense, Ceri! *They keep running and make a left on one of the corridors*
Nam: Whoa, these are golden bats, right?
Ewoyn: Indeed they are, pretty explicit, I think… *Points to one as they run* They are golden bats
Nam: Yeah, yeah… they`re an important ingredient of one of my best recipes!
Crystal: One of your recipes?
Knivy: That`s right! Nam here is an awesome cook! He lives for cooking and all!
Nam: Hahaha, I just like cooking, and I do it…
Knivy: Quite well, if I dare say
Crystal: Dude, you should tell Neo! I bet he`s looking for a cook or something
Nam: You think?
Crystal: Well, the ship does have a kitchen
Nam: Oh yeah? Maybe I should tell him then…
Ceri: Can you do spinning kicks?
Ewoyn: Spinning kicks? What does that have to do with cooking?
Ceri: It has A LOT to do with cooking. To begin with…
Knivy: Watch out!! *Three evil players were coming right at them at top speed, Nam parried two of them with his axe and Ceri stopped the third one`s sword with her kunai*
Ceri: Kgh…! *Struggles against the evil fighter*
Evil fighter: Hahahahah…!! *Grins insanely while getting his sword near Ceri`s body* Yes…
Ewoyn: I don`t think so *Shoots an arrow at the fighter, who leaps backwards between the evil mage and the evil archer that were with him*
Evil archer: Well, well, well… finally someone shows up!
Evil mage: We thought you were gonna let that poor girl die alone here!
Crystal: Well, I could say the same thing! We`ve been running here for a while, and nobody noticed us. So HA!
Evil fighter: Oh, that reminds me! *Takes out his wisphone* I gotta tell the others you`re here… *Puts the phone to his ear* Thanks, hahaha~!
Ewoyn: No you don`t *Knivy shoots an arrow before her and destroys the phone* Hey, that was my shot!
Knivy: I are sorry *Shrugs*
Evil fighter: Grrrr… *Glares at them* I hate arrows…
Evil archer: Hey!
Evil mage: Anyway, you`re already here… *Steps forward* Which of you five is Neoshaman?
Nam: H… huh?
Knivy: Neo?
Ewoyn: Pffftt… Neo? I guess you`re not very well info… *Crystal steps forward too*
Crystal: I am Neo *Pierces the mage with her eyes*
Evil mage: Y… you`re Neoshaman? The captain?
Ceri: *Whispers to herself* They already know who Neo is… and that he is the captain…?
Crystal: That`s right, I`m Neo, captain of the Game Battleship Apoliner
Evil archer: Didn`t he have red hair?
Evil fighter: Heh… I thought you`d have less breasts…
Crystal: *Opens eyes and blushes a bit* W… we… well, that`s what you get for believing everything they say!!
Evil mage: You`re telling me the captain of the Apoliner is actually a woman?!
Ewoyn: And what would be wrong with that?! *Aims another arrow*
Evil archer: *The mage looks at him* Well… they never said it was a guy… and, now that I remember, they did say the captain liked butterflies…
Evil fighter: Yeah… *Nods* Yeah, and that he talks singing and dances around, likes to rhyme and all that [CENSORED]…
Evil mage: Then its definitely a woman… *Looks at Crystal* We have you where we wanted, Neoshaman…
Crystal: O… oh yeah…? W… well, bring it on! *Points finger* Come up here and fight / I`ll show you who is right / Your behinds I will own / And with them I`ll pave my lawn!
Evil archer: *Looks at his partners* That`s Neoshaman all right…
Knivy: *Surprised* Good one, Crys… crys… crystal clear`s the fact that you are indeed the great Neoshaman, hah-hah-hah… *Sweats*
Crystal: And don`t you forget it!
Evil mage: Well, I just let the others know we have the captain here…
Nam: Huh? How did you do that without your whisphone?!
Evil mage: Heh… idiots… I am using my whisphone, I`m using my whisphone`s bluetooth headset! *Shows them*
Nam: When did that come out?!
Knivy: I want one!
Evil mage: Enough talk! FLIPPENDO!! *Shoots a magic energy ball and knocks them back*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/qa_flippendo.jpg

Ewoyn: What the…? *Gets up* I guess its time to fight… *Aims an arrow at the mage and shoots*
Evil mage: Too slow! *Dashes to the side* Hahaha!
Ewoyn: Too stupid *Smirks as the arrow hits an angle of the wall behind the mage and bounces back*
Evil mage: Wha…?! *The arrow hits him in his shoulder, making him drop his wand* Agh, [CENSORED]!!
Nam: *Runs up to him holding his axe up* Watch your mouth…!! *Jumps and strikes with his axe, but the fighter stops the hit, the ground behind him shatters*
Ceri: *Watching* Argh, they`re stupid but strong… *Pulls out her kunai* Let`s go! *Rushes forward, followed by Knivy and Crystal*
Evil fighter: Attaaaack…!! *The mage lifts his wand and runs to them with the archer*
Crystal: Frost novaaaaaa-----!! *Shoots an important amount of ice crystals*
Knivy: Knife shooooooot-----!! *Shoots an array of knives instead of arrows*
Nam: Kitchen slaaaaaashhhh-----!! *Slashes normally, the attack just has a cool name*
Evil fighter: Heheheh…! *Manages to get past the attacks and jumps at Ceri* Shadow lunge…!! *Pierces Ceri`s chest*
Knivy: What?
Crystal: No!!
Evil fighter: Oh yeah… hahah… *Ceri`s body turns into a log with a loud poof* Huh…?! *Ceri appears behind him and kicks him in the back of his head, knocking him out*
Ceri: Kawarimi no jutsu, smart boy… *The three get up and retaliate*

Meanwhile, while you imagine the battle scene underground, on the surface…

- Dark Darkness deck

Standing on the deck of this dark ship (Yeah, because the Dark Darkness is a ship like the Apoliner… didn`t you figure that out by now?) were Mrew and Kitone, looking at the horizon…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/337841.jpg

Kitone: As I said before, don`t screw this up…
Mrew: *Looks at her* Will you stop it? You`ve been saying that since we took off… and before that too!
Kitone: *Keeps looking forward* I just wanna make sure you don`t screw this up…
Mrew: Well, why don`t you concentrate on not screwing it up yourself, huh?!
Kitone: There`s no way I could screw this up, I received orders from the Evil Lord himself…
Mrew: Well, heads up, hollaback girl, I received those orders too. Much to my regret, we`re together in this *Looks forward again* So try being a little nicer, because all I wanna do is follow some orders while I have fun, okay?!
Kitone: *Sighs* Whatever you say, Mrew…
Mrew: Argh… well, um, what`s up with the information we just received?
Kitone: Oh, it`s nothing…
Mrew: Tell me, dammit!!
Kitone: Calm down, calm down… everything`s going according to plan…
Mrew: That`s too vague! How are things going down there?!
Kitone: All in due course, Mrew…
Mrew: [CENSORED]…!!

- Concealed Prison

Ewoyn: Arrow of Rohan!! *Knocks out the last of the evil players, as they stand over their defeated bodies*
Nam: That was harder than I expected…
Crystal: They put up quite a fight, yeah… but we need to keep going, remember we had to do this quickly! *Ceri starts running through the passages and they all follow*
Ceri: They knew the ship`s complete name, and that Neo was the captain…
Crystal: Yeah, I noticed that… I had to put up that weird act…
Nam: But how did they know all that stuff…?
Ceri: Obviously, information is leaking. Someone in the ship is an infiltrated enemy… or is just against us
Knivy: A traitor!
Ceri: Exactly
Knivy: Treacherous scum!
Ceri: Yup
Knivy: Filthy vermin not worth any…!
Ceri: We get the point. We need to hurry and rescue the princess so we can go back to the ship and tell them everything
Ewoyn: Yeah, we need to find out who the heck is giving out information… *They take a right on the next corridor*
Ceri: We`re getting closer, just ran past the stonies and we`ll be there!
Nam: Okay! *To Knivy* Hey, Knivy…
Knivy: Hm…?
Nam: Where d`you think I could get one of those headsets?
Knivy: Wha…?
Nam: I think it`d be useful for grinding… or cooking, in my case…
Knivy: I have no idea, Nam… sorry
Nam: I`ll get my hands on one of them… *Half closes eyes* I will…

- Concealed Prison Second Floor

Team Alpha enters the second floor taking out some evil guards that were, obviously, guarding it, they keep running while they do this, there`s not a second to lose!
Ceri: C`mon, there`s not a second to lose!
Gee, thanks for repeating what I just said
Crystal: Who`s that guy and why the heck doesn`t he need a nametag every time he speaks?!
Ewoyn: He`s the narrator, Crys, you might wanna be a bit nicer to him…
Crystal: Hah! Who needs narrators, anyway? Its not like they do anything, and also look who`s talking about being nice? You`re always…
While running, Crystal tripped on a rock and fell straight into a huge pile of dung, probably belonging to a Giant Sparkdog
Crystal: WHAT…?! AW MAN…!! *Gets up slowly*
Ewoyn: Told ya, now hurry! *Crystal falls behind, but keeps running*

After running straight through the corridors, Ceri manages to get the group into Ghost Knight`s chamber without being detected by any other enemies, just as if they were all wearing optic camouflage
Ceri: Well, here we are… *Takes a deep breath* According to my sixth sense, the princess should be here…
Knivy: Sixth sense? Isn`t that supposed to let you see dead people?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/tn2_sixth_sense_2.jpg

Ceri: No Knivy, everyone has a sixth sense, its your intuition…
Knivy: Ahhh… I don`t understand
Ceri: When you have hunches, when your heart tells you something…
Knivy: Hm… *Tilts head*
Ceri: Oh well, anyway, some people have a developed sixth sense, meaning they tend to be right about those things, and I happen to be one of them…
Crystal: So the princess should be around here, huh…? *Suddeny, a beam of light illuminates someone in the center of the chamber*
Eirlyn: And indeed, the princess is! *She`s wearing a pink long dress, like Princess Peach`s* Welcome, welcome, my knights in shining armor…!!
Nam: Whoa… this wasn`t… what I was expecting…
Eirlyn: *Gasps* How rude! Are you saying I`m not pretty enough to be a princess…?!
Nam: N… no, no, of course not! I mean… ummm… how can I explain…
Ewoyn: There`s… *Looks around* Nobody else here…?
Eirlyn: Nope, not a soul! You, my lovelies, have fulfilled your mission! *Puts hands together*
Knivy: This looks fishy…
Ewoyn: No [CENSORED], Sherlock… *Keeps looking around* I have a really bad feeling about this…
Eirlyn: Hahahaha~! Really, now. There`s no need to keep looking around, there`s only us here… *Winks* I guarantee it…
Crystal: B… but… but… why…
Eirlyn: Awww, poor little creatures, they look so, so confused… well then, let me try to fix that! *Jumps right in front of them* Princess Eirlyn gorgeous transformation!! *Her body starts shining as she spins in the air like a Sailor Scout and her clothes start to change*
Crystal: What… the… hell…
Ceri: Everyone, keep your guard up!
Nam: Y… yeah! *Lifts his axe*
Eirlyn: *Lands on the ground, sporting a nurse outfit and holding a giant syringe* Into Nurse Eirlyn…!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Nursemorrigan.jpg

Knivy: U… ungh… *Opens eyes wide*
Eirlyn: Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho~! *Points a finger at them* How about this, huh?!
Ewoyn: Who are you…?!
Eirlyn: You still don`t get it, do you dear? Then let me spell it for you: I-am-one-of-the-bad-guys…!
Crystal: You`re an enemy? But you were the princess…!! Aw, man, I wanted to… *Realizes what she`s saying and shudders* Maaaan, I should stop personifying Neo…
Ceri: *Opens eyes wide too* But then… that means…
Eirlyn: Ohhh, you`re a smart one… *Poses as she points to them again* THIS IS A SET UP!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/neo-anothercastle.png

Indeed, it was a setup, as we will see as soon as we check out what`s happening at the…

- Apoliner`s bridge

Neo: *Walking around* What`s taking them so long? It`s been a while since they left…
Lenore: Maybe it was harder than we thought…?
Neo: It was just rescuing a princess! Big deal, I can speedrun Super Mario Bros in ten minutes…
Attila: *Sitting at the controls* I can do it in five
Neo: HAX
Attila: Nuh-uh…
Neo: Well this is not a competition! *Slams his hands on the table* I`m getting nervous…
Ako: Don`t worry Neo, last time I contacted Ceri she told me they had gotten into the second floor and were headed to the Ghost Knight`s chamber, where the princess was…
Lenore: Yeah, and they won`t be able to play it stealthy there, they`ll take some time while… *Zappy runs into the bridge*
Zappy: Hai guise, I don`t know if you`ve noticed already, but… *Points directly in front of them through the huge window, a black shape could be seen heading straight at them at their same altitude*
Neo: What is that…?!
Attila: It looks an awful lot like another ship… it… it seems to have arms and legs, though…
Lenore: Is it walking…?
Ako: It looks like its hovering…
Kokoro: *Looking at the radars* Wh… whatever it is, it doesn`t show up on my radars! I didn`t see it approaching…!!
Neo: Its coming directly at us…!! *A voice can be heard coming from the now nearby dark ship*

Kitone: *Holding a loudspeaker, standing right in the front of the Dark Darkness` deck* HA-HA-HA-HA-HAHA-HA!! LISTEN TO ME, PITYFUL REBELS!! THIS IS KITONE HERE, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE DARK DARKNESS!!
Mrew: *Behind Kitone* Commander in what…?! You [CENSORED]!!
Kitone: *Keeps speaking* PREPARE TO BE DESTROYED…!! *Lowers the loudspeaker and makes a signal to someone on the bridge* Do it

Ako: Watch out…!! *The Dark Darkness shoots some of his cannons, striking the Apoliner* We`re under attack!
Kokoro: We`ve sustained heavy damage on the north section of the deck!
Lenore: How the [CENSORED] did they know where we were…?!
Neo: *Makes a cool motion with his arm* Everyone, to your positions! It`s time to fight!

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 10: Battle with Shock Therapy

Things are starting to get heated! After Team Alpha finds out that Eirlyn was playing for the other team and that the rescue mission was a trap, the Dark Darkness, the evil forces insignia ship, starts attacking our beloved Apoliner! What`s going to happen now?!

- Apoliner`s bridge

Ako: *Pressing different buttons on her panel as she speaks to a group of players* Prepare the counterattack! Shoot the Super AWSM cannons!! *The group of players disperses*
Attila: Darn it, we`re not ready for an attack right now!
Neo: They took us completely by surprise…! *The Apoliner is struck again* Argh!
Kokoro: *Looking desperately at her radars* This is not good, we keep sustaining damage! *Lenore enters the bridge*
Lenore: I`ve already mobilized the whole ship, we`re ready for a counterattack now!
Neo: Good, because at this rate we were like that car on the bonus stage of Street Fighter II

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/SFCar.jpg

Ako: Okay, shooting the cannons, NOW! *Pulls and presses a lever, the cannons on the front move and shoot at energy blast at the enemy ship*
Lenore: There we go! *Makes “Oh yeah!” motion with her arm*

- Dark Darkness` bridge

Standing on the bridge of the Dark Darkness, Kitone and Mrew observed the situation
Mrew: Argh, we`re being hit!
Kitone: Well, duh *Shrugs* They`re obviously gonna strike back, Mrew, but we`ll strike them harder…
Mrew: I… knew that
Kitone: *Turns around to face a line of evil players* Okay, everyone! We`re gonna board the Apoliner, we need to strike quick so that they can`t defend themselves!
Evil players: Yes ma`am!
Kitone: You`re dismissed, go, go, go! *The players leave*
Mrew: Wow… ma`am, hah…
Kitone: *Closes her eyes* Ahhh, yes…
Mrew: So bossy, you like having henchmen, don`t you?
Kitone: Its been one of my ambitions for a long time, yes…
Mrew: Heh, this reminds me of when we both were minions in training…

FLASHBACK

Kitone and Mrew are standing on a row among thousands of other evil players in front of the Evil Lord himself, who still can`t be seen, but you recognize his voice…
Evil Lord: My loyal servants! Today you become more than just an evil player! You become one of my personal minions, and you take one step closer to me, your supreme ruler…!
Mrew: *Speaks in a low voice* Yay! I`ve been waiting a long time for this day!
Kitone: Tch… this is not high school, you know
Mrew: Oh, shuddup Kitone…
Kitone: He`s talking, shhhh…!
Evil Lord: From now on, you shall be serving me here, on my sky fortress, obeying my command and following my orders for anything you might be needed! *Murmurs can be heard from the crowd* SILENCE!! Nobody shall interrupt me while I`m speaking! *Everyone`s silent* Hmph… since you`re privileged as my loyal minions, the evil power you all have will lay dormant until your services are required…
Mrew: *Whispers* I can`t wait to be a general!
Kitone: Geez Mrew, you`re always wanting to be something, GM, GL…
Mrew: Aw, c`mon…! Wouldn`t you like to be a general too…?
Kitone: Well, I`d like to have my own group of henchmen, and…
Evil lord: SILENCE I SAID!! I`d like to remind you that you`re all disposable, and that I may decide to terminate you as I see fit… *Glances at all his silent minions* I want all of you to remain dead silent while I speak… and not utter… a word… *Everyone remains still and silent, open chat is deserted while the Evil Lord looks at them*
Evil fighter: *Talks in open chat* … I kiss your neck lightly while slowly dragging a hand between your legs… *Everyone turns to look at the fighter with eyes wide open*
Evil lord: What the…?
Evil fighter: OMG OMG OMGGGG CHATFAIL *The Evil Lord points a finger at him and releases a purple lightning bolt that turns the fighter into a pile of ashes*
Evil Lord: … there we have a more graphic demonstration of what awaits anyone who dares defy my orders…
Kitone: Geez, can you believe that guy? Cybering in the middle of the ceremony, what an idiot…
Mrew: Yeah… *Looks another way* Yeah, heheh, what an idiot… heh… *Whistles*

END OF FLASHBACK

Kitone: Hahaha, yeah, good times… but we need to get ready now
Mrew: What, we`re not going to board the ship with them, are we?
Kitone: Of course not, at least not yet… *Walks over to the control panel* But we need to back them up with our secret weapon…

- Apoliner`s deck

Neo, Zappy and Lenore were standing on the deck, along with a lot of other players, watching the evil players jump from the Dark Darkness into the Apoliner in a pirate fashion…
Neo: I can`t believe this…
Zappy: I told you they were invading us! *Readies his bow*
Lenore: Okay… *Grabs her hammer tightly* So, what are we going to do now…?
Neo: Y… you tell me, you`re the tactical officer… *Holds onto his sword*
Lenore: Fine, umm… we need to fight these guys… and beat them… and then we keep shooting the cannons! *Points her hammer at the enemies* ATTAAAAAAACK…!! *The two forces clash*
Neo: Everyone, remember they`re enhanced! Don`t let their looks fool you! *Jumps and steps on a mage*
Lenore: But they look pretty cool! *Sinks her hammer on an archer`s face* Red eyes and all…
Zappy: *Throwing arrows nonstop* Meh, they`re not that strong… *One of his arrows pierces the head of a fighter*
Lenore: Zap, that one was one of us
Zappy: Oops… *A fighter sneaks up on him and attacks him with an axe*
Evil fighter: Raaaaarrrrghhh…!!
Juneau: Invince…!! *Raises her mace just as the axe collides with Zappy`s body, the axe is repelled as if Zappy was made of stone* Phew, just in time!
Zappy: Whoa, thanks… *Keeps shooting arrows*
Neo: Juny, you`re here?! *Slashes across a cleric, an evil one, hey*
Juneau: Yeah, sorry, I meant to tell you I was on board but after your welcome speech I just went into a cabin and fell asleep… *Heals random allies*
Neo: You slept till now?
Juneau: Yup… you see, I just came home from a trip to Boston, and I was really tired…
Neo: That`s okay, just try to remain awake now! *Jumps to dodge a spell*
Juneau: Hahaha! Don`t worry, I`m wide awake now *Revives a fallen ally* See?
Attila: *Watching everything from the bridge* Agh, she`s timing her heals wrong! And she took too long to revive! Darn, I wish I could be there, because I am…
Ako: *Controlling the cannons* … one of the beeeest heeealers in Aaaaapoline… we know
Attila: Yeah… yeah… *Gets up* I think I`m gonna go and…
Ako: We can`t, we gotta stay here on our positions… *Presses the button on the lever* Fire!
Attila: Ah, darn… *Sits down again* If all I do is sit here I won`t be able to show everyone that I`m one of the best healers in Apoline…! *Crosses arms*
Ako: Don`t worry Attila, we take your word *Fires again* Take that…!!

Mrew: Looks like out attack force is having some problems…
Kitone: I was actually expecting that…
Mrew: You… were? *Kitone looks at her* Of course you were
Kitone: I just want to have a chance to use our secret weapon… *Points at a red button on the panel*
Mrew: You`re gonna use THAT already?!
Kitone: Heheheh… with this, out troops will have no problem in defeating those rebel weaklings! *Presses the button strongly* GO!!

Neo: *Still fighting* Hold your ground, everyone, we`re winning!
Juneau: Wh… what is that…? *Points at some oddly shaped missiles coming out of the Dark Darkness and rushing towards them*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/untitled-1_6.png

Zappy: Oh my god… no…
Neo: *Turns to Zappy* What? What are those…?!
Zappy: They`re using shock missiles…?! *Unexpecting, Zappy is hit in the back by one of them* Arrrghhhh…!! *Falls to the ground, curls up in a ball, shaking* Oh n… no… no… not the girls… not the cup again… no…
Neo: Shock… missiles…? *Opens eyes wide* Oh no…
Lenore: Dammit! Neo, stay away from them!
Neo: *A bit confused* Y… yeah…
Lenore: Neo, these missiles flood your mind with shock images after they hit you!
Neo: Yeah… I remember now…*Glares at Lenore* Like the time you made me watch that video with two girls and one cup…

FLASHBACK

Neo`s sitting in front of a computer, Lenore is standing behind him
Neo: Okay, wait, so what is this now?
Lenore: Just watch *Clicks*
Neo: Why are we taping my reaction? *Points at the camera*
Lenore: Just, just watch… *Stabilizes the camera*
Neo: Okaaay… *Looks at the screen* They`re lesbians, clearly… uhum… aha… *Watches bored* It`s not like I haven`t seen stuff like this before, I`m a guy and… wait… wait… wha-wha-what…?
Lenore: Pfffftt…
Neo: Wha… what…? *Opens eyes wide*
Lenore: Heheheh…
Neo: No… NO… *Leans closer to the screen* Ahhh… AHHH!! *Leans back, horrified* AHHHH!! AHHH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU…!!
Lenore: Hahahaha…!!
Neo: OHHH MY GOD…!! *Still watching, his hands almost covering his eyes* AGHHH…!! Awww, I`m never gonna be able to eat ice cream agai-OHHH MY GOD…!!
Lenore: Ahhhhahahahaha…!!
Neo: *Covering his mouth with his hands* Aghhh… oh my god… unghhhh… aw, that is DISGUSTING! Oh my god… *Looks at Lenore*
Lenore: Heheh…
Neo: You`re sick
Lenore: Hahah… *Grabs the mouse and is gonna close the video*
Neo: Nononono, don`t close it

END OF FLASHBACK

Neo: Yeah… *Keeps glaring at Lenore* At least I was trained for this kind of thing…
Juneau: Are they THAT bad…?
Neo: Oh yeah, you don`t wanna get hit by one of these… *Watches some of his allies getting hit by the missiles* Argh, this is not good…
Atoli: *Crawling in the deck, she`s about to be hit by a missile* Kyaaaaaaa…!!
Neo: Argh, no! June, invince me!
Juneau: Cooldown…
Neo: Okay, fine… *They wait* Ready?
Juneau: Lemme see… yup!
Neo: Well, come on! *Juneau lifts her mace and makes Neo invincible as he runs towards the archer and jumps, intercepting the missile* Arrrrghhh…!! *Falls to the ground*
Atoli: Oh…?
Juneau: Wonder if it`ll do any good…
Neo: *On the ground, twitching* It… argh… it… minimized… the effect… I got… argh… I got the old guys… oh god, no…
Juneau: Ew…
Atoli: Th… thanks…
Neo: It`s… it`s okay… just… *Covers his eyes* Agh, oh no, please don`t do that… not in his… ohhh my god…
Atoli: Are you okay…?
Neo: Yeah, yeah… it`s only… unghhh… I`ll just… aghhh…
Lenore: *Appears beside Neo after beating up some evil dudes* [CENSORED], I told him to stay away form those missiles…
Atoli: No, but he was…
Lenore: Yeah, you`re right, he`s an idiot. Anyway, which one did he get…?
Juneau: He said something about old guys…
Lenore: Oh, nice…! *Blocks an arrow with her shield*
Neo: L… Lenore… you gotta… *Slowly recovers* Ahhh, whoa… anyway, Lenore, you`re immune to these things, right?
Lenore: I may be…
Neo: C`mon, we don`t have much time!
Juneau: They`re kinda affecting everyone, we can`t fight back…
Lenore: Fine, fine… but this takes up a lot of energy, so I`ll have to rest later! *Stands in the middle of the battlefield and closes her eyes*
Juneau: What is she gonna do?
Neo: I can`t say much about it, but Lenore… um… she knows how to deal with these things, look
Lenore: *Opens her eyes and her arms, shouting at the sky* SHOCK ABSORB…!!! *Lenore becomes surrounded by a force field, attracting all the missiles to her*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Shockabsorb.jpg

Atoli: Oh my god, they`re gonna…!
Neo: No, no, just look… *All the missiles that reach Lenore are absorbed by the force field and disappear*
Lenore: Nghhh… arghhh… y… yeaahhh…
Juneau: She seems to be… enjoying it…?
Neo: Oh well… yeah, um… that`s the difficult part…
Lenore: *Strengthens the force field as her eyes turn white, like Storm`s* MOAR… I WANT MOAR…!! *More and more missiles are absorbed* YES… YES…!!
Juneau: *Opens her eyes wide* Oh my god…
Atoli: What is she…? *Neo covers her eyes*
Neo: She`s just having fun *Turns to the others* We gotta strike back now!!
Zappy: Yeah, c`mon everyone! *Starts shooting arrows again, as everyone retaliates while Lenore keeps the missiles controlled*
Attila: *Watching the deck* Whoa Ako, check this out!
Ako: I can`t, I gotta keep shooting! *Keeps moving levers and pressing* If they drive those guys away and I manage to keep attacking their ship, they`ll have no other option than retreating!

- Dark Darkness` bridge

Kitone: Shoot, if they drive our guys away and manage to keep attacking our ship, we`ll have no other option than retreating!
Mrew: Darn, what are we gonna do now…? We can`t fail!
Kitone: Well, this only proves that if you want something done correctly… *Grabs her sword* You gotta do it yourself
Mrew: You mean we`re going down there?
Kitone: Yeah, we`ll take them out ourselves *Starts walking out of the bridge* We`re much more powerful than them, we can easily do this. Come on, Mrew…
Mrew: *Sigh* I really didn`t want to fight… but if we must *Pulls her claws out* Meow~

Chapter 11: Mean girls

Alter a prolonged battle against evil players and shock missiles, our heroes on board the Apoliner are about to face a great deal of pressure, embodied in the two most powerful enemies they`ve faced so far… and the worst part is they`re… girls *Gasp*

Shikamaru: Girls? Aw, c`mon…

http://ceo.upc.es/extras/test/shikamaru.jpg

Yes, girls. But first let`s take a look at what`s going on underground…

- Concealed prison`s second floor

Team Alpha`s fighting against Eirlyn in her nurse form and they`re apparently having a hard time…
Nam: *Collides against a wall* Argh, she`s tough…
Eirlyn: *In the middle of the room, holding a giant syringe* Tough? Aw, please, I wouldn`t like to be associated with such an adjective when there`s so many others that suit me better…
Knivy: *Tilts head* What?
Eirlyn: *Turns her head to Knivy* Heh… *Smirks*
Knivy: Oh [CENSORED]… *Eirlyn rushes at him at top speed with her syringe*
Ceri: Nuh-uh! *Pulls out and unfolds a big shuriken* Fuuma shuriken!! *Throws it at the syringe, knocking it away*
Eirlyn: What the…?! *Knivy takes his chance and shoots an arrow at Eirlyn, but she teleports beside her syringe* Hah… hah… *Glares at Ceri*
Ceri: You might wanna watch your back… *Smiles*
Eirlyn: My ba…?! *Turns around only to see the shuriken coming right back at her* Arghh…!! *Ducks, dodging the shuriken which manages to chop off a portion of her hair*
Crystal: Yes! Good one, Ceri…!
Eirlyn: *Watching her hairs fall slowly to the ground* N… no…
Ewoyn: *Walks beside Ceri and Crystal* Hm…?
Eirlyn: No… no… *Falls to the ground, kneeling in front of her hairs* No… this can`t… be…
Nam: Um… Ceri, I think you just…
Eirlyn: My hair… *Purple energy starts gathering around Eirlyn* My beautiful… gorgeous… dazzling… marvelous… *Starts getting up* sparkling… glittering… lovely… awe-inspiring… *Turns her face to look at them, with a piercing glare* HAIR!!!
Nam: Y… you made her mad, Ceri…
Ceri: M… me?! I think we all did…
Knivy: N… no, I… I saw it clearly, it was you…
Ceri: Knivy, I just saved your life…!
Eirlyn: HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY HAIR?! YOU`RE ALL SOOOOOO DEAD…!!
Crystal: Heh… heheh… *Looks at Eirlyn`s concentration of power* I don`t wanna die…
Ewoyn: Pfft, what a bunch of cowards… *Steps forward and gets an arrow ready* Bring it, princess Peach…

- Apoliner`s deck

Meanwhile, on the deck of everyone`s favourite battleship, Neo, Lenore, Zappy, Juneau and Atoli and the rest of the crew were taking out the last remaining evil players, as Ako fired the cannons towards the Dark Darkness and Attila spun on his chair…
Zappy: *Shoots a player to death* As I said before, they`re not that strong…
Lenore: And as I said before, that was one of us! *Whacks Zappy* Pay more attention, look for the red eyes!
Zappy: You mean, for enhancing? *AWSM face*
Lenore: Argh! Why you little…!! *Two figures land on the deck with a loud sound* What was that…?!
Atoli: It came from there…! *Points at where the two figures fell, where a big cloud of dust blocked the view*
Juneau: Darn it, more enemies…? *Casts a party buff, for the heck of it*
Neo: Hmm… I have a bad feeling about this…
Lenore: *Looks at Neo* Gee, saying that sure makes you look cool, huh?
Neo: Yes it does~ *Winks*
Zappy: Look! *The dust starts fading away slowly, letting the two figures be seen, standing in front of their ball-shaped spaceships*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/naveg.jpg

Nappa: Heh, heh, heh, we`re finally here…
Vegeta: We`ve got you now, Kakarot! *Points at Neo*
Neo: Dude, I`m not kakarot… *Sighs* Sadly…
Nappa: You mean we got the wrong planet again…?
Lenore: Yeah, sorry. This is Isya
Vegeta: Isya? *Turns around* What the hell Nappa, you took a wrong turn at Tatoonie!!
Nappa: Damn… this is not good…
Vegeta: You`re paying for the gas from now on, and the count goes over 9000!
Nappa: WHAT, 9000?! *They both jump in their spaceships and rocket away into the air*
Lenore: *Watching them go* What the [CENSORED] was that… *They suddenly hear voices behind them*
Kitone: *Sigh* Way to kill the mood, those two…
Mrew: They attracted attention away from our wonderful appearance…
Neo: Huh…? *They all turn around to face them* What the…?!
Juneau: When did you get here…?!
Kitone: Oh just now…
Neo: I… I recognize that face…
Zappy: *Ready to fight* And who are you two…?
Mrew: Oh, I thought you`d never ask… *Licks her lips*
Kitone: *Lifts her sword* We`re the beautiful elite minions of the Evil Lord!
Mrew: *Poses and licks her paws* Mrew~!
Kitone: *Poses pointing her sword at them* And Kitone…!!
Neo: Shoot, I really have seen that gi… *Opens eyes wide* N… no…
Kitone: We`re here to take your ship and exterminate you in the name of the Evil Lord!
Mrew: So why don`t you surrender and make this easier for everyone, hm? *Smiles*
Lerone: Uh… hmmm… no way, I mean… *Looks at her sides* You`re outnumbered
Zappy: Yeah, there`s only two of you…!
Kitone: Oh, does that even matter? *Angry* Are you losers even familiar with the term “Boss character”?! It doesn`t matter if you wiped out my entire attack force, we`re still gonna kill you all…!! *Slams her sword on the ground*
Mrew: Now, now, Kitone, calm down… we don`t wanna lose our temper… so early, heheh… *Looks at Neo, who looks at her*
Neo: Hmmm… *Wears a worried look*
Lenore: *Looks at Neo* Everything okay?
Neo: Yeah…
Lenore: You know her…?
Neo: N… no, not at all…
Lenore: … sure?
Neo: Yes. I mean, no. I mean, maybe. I mean, shut up!
Lenore: Whoa, why are you so nervous?
Neo: Why do you wear a blue top?! Why is your hair that colour?! Why do you carry a hammer?! Why, why, why?!
Mrew: Aww, what happens, Neo? You don`t remember me…?
Neo: *Freezes* Argh…
Mrew: Don`t tell me you have forgotten abous us, huh? Huhuh… *Winks*
Neo: Urgh… h… hi Mrew…
Lenore: Oh, so you do know her *Smiles, repressing laughter*
Mrew: You mean you haven`t told them about us, hmmm? And about the things we used to do…? Meow~ *Lenore, Juneau and Zappy open their eyes wide*
Juneau: Oh my god
Zappy: Dude…
Neo: Argh… *Places a hand on the back of his neck* Damn…
Lenore: So, Neo… *Smiling widely* You get it on with the enemy, huh?
Neo: Shut up, what the hell did I know…!!
Lenore: Hahahahahaha…!! Oh, man…!! This is better than the shock images, hahaha…!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Mrewappears.jpg

Mrew: Aw, Neo… don`t talk about our relationship like that, you`re gonna make me saaaad… *Pouts*
Kitone: *Surprised* Huh…? You know this guy, Mrew?
Mrew: Yup *Smirks* I`ll take care of him…
Neo: Oh no you won`t, I`m fighting the other girl, whoever she is!
Mrew: But Neeeeooooo… *Evil smile* You might even like it…
Juneau: Oh dear god…
Neo: Stop it already…!
Mrew: “Stop it”? Oh, back in time you would say quite the opposite, wouldn`t you? You would say…
Neo: *Grabs his head* Oh man, this is a nightmare…
Zappy: Whatever Neo, let`s just fight *Prepares an arrow, like always*
Lenore: Yeah, we can hear about your affairs later, hm? *Still chuckling*
Kitone: About time they said something of the sort! *Lifts her sword again* Let`s crush them, Mrew…!!
Mrew: Aw, I wanted to play more, but… *Releases her claws* So be it, meow~! *Kitone and Mrew jump and clash with the others*

- Concealed prison`s second floor

Nam: *Heavily collides against the same wall as before* ARGH…!! *Gets up slowly* Shoot, that`s the second time this chapter…
Crystal: *Loads energy in her hand* This isn`t going anywhere, Ewo… thundershock! *Throws an energy ball at Eirlyn, without effect*
Ewoyn: *Her back against a column* I know, she`s far too powerful now… tch…
Eirlyn: *Hovering around the chamber, enraged* Hahahaha~!! There`s no use hiding now, weaklings! You`ll be wiped out just like your friends out there…!
Ceri: Our friends out there…?
Nam: Sh… she doesn`t mean…
Knivy: Let`s ask her then! *Steps away from the column he was using as cover* What`s going on with our friends…?!
Eirlyn: Geez, how dumb can you get? You think we would go through all the trouble of setting you up and making you come here, just to get rid of you guys?
Crystal: Well, yeah, considering you thought the captain was coming!
Eirlyn: Hah! Fat chance, we didn`t think he was coming he wouldn`t abandon the ship, would he?
Nam: But those guys we fought said…
Eirlyn: Well, duh! *Knocks her own head with her fist* Hello? Anyone there? Those were THUGS! Useless, weak, dim thugs! Just-like-you *Smirks* Hahaha~
Nam: Tch, we`re not thugs *Realizes he`s holding an enormous axe* Agh, erm! *Drops the axe* I… I can cook, you know!!
Eirlyn: Oh, I don`t know about that… they sent you here, right…? To this dangerous place, they sent you here because…
Ewoyn: Shut up, stop trying to mess with our minds. We`re not thugs like you, you horrendous witch
Eirlyn: *Opens eyes wide* Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh…
Crystal: Aw, no…
Eirlyn: WH-WH-WH-WH-WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY…?!
Ceri: Ewoyn, no! Argh, shoot, now she`s not gonna tell us what`s going on!
Ewoyn: Well, you cut her hair in the first place…
Ceri: That wasn`t intentional! I wanted to cut her head off, and…!
Knivy: SHE`S COMING…!! *Points at Eirlyn, flying straight at them*
Eirlyn: I`LL TEACH YOU WHO THE HORRENDOUS WITCH IS…!! *Lunges with her syringe* CRYPTIC NEEDLE---!!
Nam: Watch out…! *They all jump to the sides and manage to avoid being hit*
Crystal: Whoa, dude, look at that hole on the ground…
Knivy: I wouldn`t like to be hit by that… *Eirlyn gets up in the middle of the hole, red as red can be*
Eirlyn: I`M A PRINCESS, DAMMIT!! *Turns around with her eyes red*
Ewoyn: *Aims* Arrow of Rohan…!! *Shoots an arrow that pierces Eirlyn`s right shoulder*
Eirlyn: HAH! Useless *Takes the arrow out and throws it away* Prepare to die…
Ceri: Wait, you still gotta tell us what`s going on outside!
Crystal: Aw, c`mon Ceri, to hell with gathering information! The Apoliner is probably under attack right now, but I think they can handle it
Nam: Let`s focus on beating her so that we can go help!
Eirlyn: In your wildest dreams! *Lunges again* CRYPTIC NEEDLE------!!

- Apoliner`s deck

Zappy: *Throws countless arrows, but Mrew dodges them all with catlike speed* WAT
Mrew: Nyaaaaa…!! *Jumps and severely scratches Zappy`s face*
Kitone: Oooorryaaahhh…!! *Attacks with her huge sword*
Neo: Nghh… *Parries* How the heck… are you so… talkative and… still seem able to think… if you`ve been affected by… this evil force… raaargh…!! *Pulls Kitone away*
Kitone: Talkative? Able to think? Oh, you`ve got us all wrong…
Lenore: So you can`t think after all…
Kitone: NO!! *Slashes with her sword, Lenore jumps* If you think we`re like that bunch of losers you just beat, you`re grossly mistaken!
Mrew: The evil force lives inside us, it has only been awakened, huhuh… we haven`t been affected by anything! MEWLING CLAW…!! *Slashes forward*
Juneau: Gee, I wish I knew what you guys are talking about…
Lenore: It lives inside you? You`re not infected?
Mrew: No, yuck…
Kitone: We`re special, that`s why we serve the Evil Lord directly. And we shall not let him down…!! *Attacks Neo again with her Zweihander* PHANTOM SLASH!!
Neo: Hop…! *Takes a little step backwards to dodge* Clouse enou…
Kitone: *Points forward with her free hand, and then upwards, like Yamcha* FLAME RISER…!! *A column of fire from the ground launches Neo into the air*
Neo: What…?!
Kitone: *Looks at the flying Neo and smirks* Heh, now to use my Seraphim Hammer… *Jumps high in the air*
Lenore: Argh, no…!! Neo!!
Juneau: He`s too far for me to cast anything!
Neo: Argh… dammit… *A bit confused, blinks, but then assumes an airborne position*
Kitone: *Flying at him* Huh?
Mrew: Huh…? Wa… watch out, Kitone! He`s gonna do something!
Neo: SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH…!! *His sword starts shining*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Smash.jpg

Kitone: Argh, a counterattack…!!
Neo: *Kicks the air and dashes directly at Kitone* BOMBEEEEEEEEEEEER…!!! *Swings his sword, hitting her hard and sending her flying towards the deck, making her crash against it*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Bomber.jpg

Zappy: PWNED
Mrew: Darn, this doesn`t look too good…
Neo: *Lands* Oh yeah!
Lenore: Heheh, good job… *Points her hammer at Mrew* You`re next!
Mrew: Erm… ummm…
Lenore: Get ready for a beating if you`re not gonna tell us the information we want
Mrew: Heh… heheh… y… you want my measurements?
Lenore: I`m sure Neo knows those already *Makes a motion towards Neo with her head*
Neo: *Still a bit dizzy* Yeah, I know… I mean! *Shakes head* Dammit, Lenore!
Lenore: Let me handle this girl
Neo: Hawt. I mean, she`s all yours, I guess
Mrew: Ugh… *Hesitates while looking at Kitone, under a pile of debris*
Lenore: What`s up with the distress call, spill!
Mrew: Well… the thing is…
Lenore: Speak!! *Shakes her hammer*
Mrew: Argh! Well, it obviously was a fake call, huh? Allright? Princess Eirlyn`s one of us, one of our stronger members, and she`s probably kicking you friends` butts by now!
Neo: So it was fake after all…
Lenore: Then the ones down there are in danger!
Neo: There`s five of them, I`m sure they can handle it…
Mrew: Pfffttt… five? You sent only five…? Hahaha~! Then they`re probably all dead by now
Lenore: Shut up!
Neo: Oh, now who`s the nervous one, huh, Lenny? *The pile of debris start moving*
Kitone: Argh… *Gets up slowly* Darn… agh… what the hell… *Puts a hand on her head*
Mrew: Kitone, we kinda have a situation here…
Kitone: Hmm? *Looks at Neo and the others* Oh yeah… shoot…
Zappy: Guys, what are we gonna do with them…?
Kitone: With… us? What are you gonna do with us…? Hahah… hahahaha!!
Juneau: Hm? What`s so funny?
Kitone: You still haven`t seen anything…

Chapter 12: Tactical and not so tactical

Whoa! Boom! Flash! Such amazing battles we left our heroes in at the end of the last chapter, ladies and gentlemen! What`s going to happen next? Everyone`s dying to know!

- Apoliner`s bridge

Kitone: You still haven`t seen anything… *Everyone looks at Kitone, but nothing happens*
Juneau: Ummm…
Lenore: Okay…? *A gust of wind blows by*
Kitone: *Stands still* Shoot…
Mrew: Hm…? *Opens eyes wide*
Kitone: I thought that if I said something cool like that something would happen, I guess not *Everyone falls to the ground with a loud thud, like when someone does something stupid on animes, y`know*
Neo: O… okay, I guess we`re done here, heheh…
Zappy: I have to ask again, what are we going to do with them?
Lenore: We`ll hold them hostages until they decide to share more information with us
Neo: Hey, remember we also gotta go help the others in Concealed Prison!
Lenore: Argh, yeah… they still haven`t come back…
Neo: I`m worried, also, considering what these two said about the princess… *Neo and Lenore turn around to look at the bridge while talking*
Mrew: Hm! *Her expression suddenly changes to an evil smirk* Now!
Kitone: *Suddenly recovers and starts running at Neo and Lenore* Orrryaaaaahhhh…!!
Zappy: WAT
Juneau: Watch out…!! *Neo and Lenore turn to face Kitone running at them*
Neo: Huh?!
Kitone: Too late…!! *Raises her sword* SERAPHIM JUDGEMENT…!! *A pair of black wings appear in her back, as she lunges and lets the sword drop between Neo and Lenore*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Seraphim.jpg

Lenore: Aaaaarrgh, what the heeeeeeeell…!? *The shockwave from the hit sends them flying towards the walls of the deck*
Neo: Urgh… *Gets up* Argh, my back…
Kitone: Heh… heheh… I told you you hadn`t seen anything…
Neo: So… the lame joke was intended to for us to let our guards down…
Lenore: Psh, look who`s talking… about lame jokes…
Neo: Now`s not the time, Lenore…
Kitone: And you did get your guards down, you losers, hahaha~! *Lifts her sword again and rests it on her shoulder*
Mrew: Yay! Go get them, Kit!
Kitone: Just watch me, Mrew, and don`t do anything or you might screw this up…
Mrew: Okay! *Winks at her*
Neo: Mrew, you swing that way now?
Kitone: Shut up…!! *Runs at Neo at top speed* PHANTOM SLASH…!!
Neo: Whoa! *Ducks, avoiding the hit, that chops off a portion of the wall instead of his head*
Kitone: There`s no escape…!! *Slashes again and again, possessed*
Neo: *Tries to dodge, equally possessed* Someone… do… something…!!
Lenore: Is it me, or is she faster and stronger than before…?
Mrew: Well, duh! That`s the power of the Seraphim`s Judgement…
Neo: *Running away from the enhanced Kitone* But seraphim`s aren`t supposed to be angels or something? I mean, they`re supposed to be good guys!

Attila: *Watching everything from the bridge with Ako* Oh my god, he asked what a Seraphim is! I know that! I need to go explain that to him *Gets up*
Ako: No, you`re staying here *Grabs him*
Attila: But I know that, dammit! I`m the religious dude! And I wanna do something, I`m sick of my spinning chair!
Ako: We`ll have to wait for now, here, have some popcorn *Hands Attila a bag of popcorn*
Attila: Does it have butter?
Ako: No
Attila: Then I don`t wanna *Crosses his arms, angry*
Ako: Geez… *Grabs a handful*

Kitone: *Reaches Neo* Finally…!! *Drops her sword on him*
Neo: HARDEN…!! *Neo`s skin solidifies and Kitone`s hit has no effect on him*
Kitone: What the…?!
Neo: STRING SHOT…!! *Neo opens his mouth and releases an important amout of silk that begins enveloping Kitone*

Kitone: Agh, yuck! *Tries to free herself* What… what is this…?!
Neo: *Smiles* I have surprises too
Kitone: Raaaaaarghh…!! *Extends her arms and rips the silk apart, then turns around to face the others* Who casted invince…?!
Juneau: I was gonna… but the dude gave me a mace and I wanted a hammer, so now I`m kinda on strike
Lenore: Oh, invince! Shoot, I forgot about that…

Attila: See? *Points, then looks at Ako* What the heck, man? I mean, they didn`t even cast invince! I would`ve done it in a flash, because I`m one of the…
Ako: We know, one of the best heal…
Attila: *Grabs Ako by the shoulders* Silence, let me say it
Ako: O… okay…
Attila: *Turns to the window again* Because I`m one of the best healers in Apoline!
Ako: Yup… *Still looking outside* What in the world did Neo just do…?!
Attila: I don`t know, what`s important is that they`re having their butts handed to themselves, they need our help, Ako, we should go right n…!
Ako: ATTILA…!! *Red eyes, hands on her axe*
Attila: Y… yes?
Ako: SILENCE, I`M TRYING TO WATCH!!
Attila: Y… yes…!

Kitone: Whatever, invince or no invince you`re going down…!! *Lifts her sword… once more*
Zappy: *Keeps shooting arrows, but they fall to the ground* Huh, my arrows aren`t doing anything!
Mrew: Huhuh… the Seraphim Judgement in all its splendour…
Neo: Then again, what`s with the seraphim thing, huh?
Kitone: Stop trying to stall! So what if my attacks are seraphim this, seraphim that?
Lenore: *Thinks* trying to stall, hm? I see…
Neo: Well, seraphims are angels, and they`re like, high angels, I think… yeah… I think they looked a bit like this…

http://dma.wtw-x.net/DMA/DigimonStands/Bandai/Seraphimon.jpg

Kitone: So…?!
Neo: Well, angels are supposed to be good guys, right?
Kitone: Yeah, but… shut up! I only say that seraphim stuff because it sounds cool, okay?
Neo: U… unless they were fallen angels, but I never liked that emo stuff much, what about you?
Kitone: H… huh? What`re you asking me for?
Neo: Well, y`know, I`m really sick of those MSN nicknames and siggys that talk about fallen angels and broken wings and blood and sin and punishment and heaven and depression and feelings and all that NOW LENORE, DO IT…!!
Kitone: Wha…?! *Turns around to face Lenore, dangerously close to her*
Lenore: Taste my special attack…!! *Lenore swings her hammer in the air before striking, like Thor*
Juneau: Ohhh, just like the legendary Mjolnir!
Zappy: *Looks at Juneau* Wat
Lenore: 1GIRL1HAMMER…!! *Swings the unicorn hammer once more and hits Kitone RRRRRREAL hard, sending her flying various meters away, breaking the surface of the deck as she goes*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/1girl1hammer.jpg

Kitone: Gaaaaahhhhhh…!! *Crashes against a wall of the ship*
Lenore: That should do it
Neo: Wh… whoa…
Kitone: Argh… *Tries to get up, but she`s too injured* Aw, man… not again…
Juneau: Good move!
Neo: Yeah, the plan went well… you trick us, we tricked you, heheh…
Kitone: *Shouts with her eyes closed, tired* Mreeeeew…!! Why the heck didn`t you tell me…!!
Mrew: Hm? *Raises her head from her cellphone* Oh, sorry, I was texting *Walks beside Kitone* What happened to you?
Kitone: Darn it… *Faces the floor, resigned*
Zappy: So I ask once more… what are we gonna do with them…?
Kitone: Mrew… we`ll have to retreat for now
Mrew: Yeah, that sounds about right… *Pulls something out of her pocket*
Kitone: *Gets up* Okay, listen up you losers! *Points her sword at them* You may have gotten lucky this time, but we`ll be back and we`ll take you out…!!
Mrew: See you next time~! *Waves while winking, then throws a smoke bomb to the ground*
Lenore: Argh, no!
Neo: They got away… well, never mind, we won heheh…
Juneau: Yeah, we`re alive and that`s all that matters
Lenore: We sure have a lot of things to think about now…
Seras: *Appears on the deck with a monkey wrench* And I sure have a lot of cleaning to do around here…

- Dark Darkness` bridge

Mrew: Damn…
Kitone: We`re alone now, you can stop acting all tough…
Mrew: *Panics* Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god… we failed, Kitone, we failed! What are we gonna do now? How`re we gonna face the dark lord?! He`s gonna kill us when he finds out…!!
Kitone: *Starting the ship* You mean, IF he finds out…
Mrew: What do you mean if? Of course he`s gonna find out when we go back and…! Oh… oh, I see what you did there…
Kitone: He doesn`t need to know about this little… problem we just had, hm?
Mrew: Yeah… I guess so, but…
Kitone: Oh, we`ll try again Mrew, don`t worry about that. We can`t leave the job unfinished… *Adjusting some things on the panel*
Mrew: Yes, I… I don`t wanna end up as a fugitive…
Kitone: Of course not, he`d find out eventually. And we`d end up like the guy who was cybering at the meeting, heh…
Mrew: Heh… heheh… *Looks at the ceiling* Yeah…
Kitone: We`ll teach those losers not to mess with us…

- Concealed Prison`s second floor

Nam: *Struggling against Eirlyn`s syringe with his axe* Nghhh… no… you`re not… slamming me… against the wall… again… nrrghhh…
Eirlyn: Are you sure? *Pulls her syringe away, then hits the axe with the needle, sending it flying upwards* Hiiyaaaaaahhh…!! *Hits Nam with the back of the syringe, effectively slamming him against the wall*
Nam: [CENSORED]…
Ewoyn: Just wait a little bit more…
Crystal: You`ve been saying that for a while, Ewo. What are we waiting for…?!
Ewoyn: You`ll see, it should happen any minute…
Knivy: *Running away from the flying nurse* Well, tell that minute to come fast…!!
Ceri: She`s way too powerful in this form, we won`t be able to beat her if this goes on…
Eirlyn: Ahh, you finally realize, hm? Well, too bad! It`s too late already! You made me mad and you will all pay for it…!! *Gets her syringe ready*
Knivy: *Kneels down, closes his eyes and joins his hands in prayer* I know that you`re up there and that I don`t talk to you much… but… if you really do exist… save me, Superman…!!
Eirlyn: Hahahaha…!! CRYP---Ugh…!! *Puts one hand on her chest, the screen turns black and white for a sec, like when someone on Deathnote has a heart-attack* What… is… argh…
Knivy: Huh? *Looks at Eir* He really does exist…!!
Crystal: Huh? What`s going on?
Nam: She looks like she`s having a…
Knivy: But then… *Puzzled* Superman is Kira? I never would`ve guessed…
Eirlyn: What… ugh… what did you do… to me…?
Ewoyn: Heheh, I told all of you to wait for a reason… *Gets near Eirlyn, who`s kneeling in the ground, next to her syringe* This paralysis is the effect of my Arrow of Rohan
Crystal: Oh, really? And… *Scratches her head* When did you use that…?
Ewoyn: You mean you didn`t notice…? Last chapter, of course!

FLASHBACK

Eirlyn: I`M A PRINCESS, DAMMIT!! *Turns around with her eyes red*
Ewoyn: *Aims* Arrow of Rohan…!! *Shoots an arrow that pierces Eirlyn`s right shoulder*
Eirlyn: HAH! Useless *Takes the arrow out and throws it away* Prepare to die…
Ceri: Wait, you still gotta tell us what`s going on outside!

END OF FLASHBACK

Nam: Ohhhh… that…
Ewoyn: The poison from that technique takes some time to take effect, but now our dear princess is completely paralyzed…
Eirlyn: Grrrrr… darn…
Ceri: Yeah, she can`t even speak now, we won`t be able to get any information…
Crystal: You and your information… let`s just get this over with so that we can return to the ship *Readies her staff*
Nam: I agree, this is our only chance… *Looks at Eirlyn on the ground glaring at all of them* It looks kinda… wrong, but we`ll have to attack her like this…
Eirlyn: You… *Tries to get up, but falls instead* You…
Crystal: Okay, this is our chance for an all-out attack…!!
Ewoyn: The enemy`s down, let`s finish this!

X – Attack
O – Relent

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/05.jpg

As soon as the X is pressed, the five of them run to Eirlyn and begin laying waste on her mercilessly while a cloud of dust begins forming around them, to prevent our eyes from seeing the unholy carnage that was going on

Nam: Raaaaaarrrrrghhhh…!!
Ewoyn: Let me at her…!
Ceri: I`ve been waiting for this…!

Suddenly, as they stop hitting desperately…

Knivy: I… I think that`s enough…
Nam: Yeah, I was starting to feel a little guilty…
Crystal: Tch, guys. What a bunch of cowards… on the other hand, us girls, have no problem with… *Realizes Eirlyn`s nowhere to be seen* Huh, what?
Ewoyn: Where`d she go?
Ceri: Oh no, she probably used all that dust we whipped up to escape…
Knivy: You mean she ran away…?! But she was paralyzed…!!
Ceri: Oh yeah… *Looks at Ewo* What`s up with that?
Ewoyn: I don`t have a clue… the poison`s effect should`ve lasted longer… how did she…?
Nam: Well, she did have a lot of tricks up her sleeve, I mean, before, she was kinda powerful, but after she got mad, she was invincible…
Ceri: That`s gotta be like, her special power or something… anyway! She`s not here now, we should hurry back to the ship
Crystal: Yeah, the others are probably waiting, let`s go, let`s go! *They start leaving the room, but Ewoyn stops and looks behind*
Ewoyn: Princess Eirlyn… I get the feeling we`ll see her again…
Crystal: Of course we`ll see her again, she bloody ran away! *Grabs her by an arm* Now come on, stop trying to act all cool and stuff…!!

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 13: Serious chapter is serious

After all the excitement produced by the latest battles, its time to relax, cool down, and talk a little about what happened…

- Apoliner`s Meeting Hall

Everyone was sitting on the sides of a long table, like a group of weirdly dressed gentlemen, maybe attending a cosplay convention. Luckily, everything was explained already, meaning we won`t have to endure tedious explanations about things we already know. Sweet, huh?
Neo: *Sitting at one of the extremes, in front of a blackboard* Okay… now that we`ve heard both stories, we can start making some conclusions… Alpha team, would you like to start?
Ceri: Well, from what we heard from the evil players we met on Concealed Prison, the enemy knows a lot of things about us already…
Ewoyn: They already know who you are, for example
Neo: Well, heh, that doesn`t surprise me at all, hahah~ I mean, being the celebrity that I am, it`s only natural if my name and striking beauty are known all over the…
Ewoyn: I meant, they already know you`re the captain of the ship
Neo: Oh, that
Lenore: And that`s something they really shouldn`t know, since it hasn`t gone out of the ship, right?
Neo: That`s true… hey, that`s true!
Ewoyn: See? And they also knew how to reach the ship, and they… kinda knew about your… I mean… about… your personality and stuff…

Evil mage: You`re telling me the captain of the Apoliner is actually a woman?!
Ewoyn: And what would be wrong with that?! *Aims another arrow*
Evil archer: *The mage looks at him* Well… they never said it was a guy… and, now that I remember, they did say the captain liked butterflies…
Evil fighter: Yeah… *Nods* Yeah, and that he talks singing and dances around, likes to rhyme and all that [CENSORED]…
Evil mage: Then its definitely a woman… *Looks at Crystal* We have you where we wanted, Neoshaman…

Neo: What do you mean?
Nam: Nothing! I mean, she means that… they… well, they did send a rescue message with a princess so, they must know about some of your weaknesses…maybe?
Neo: I see…
Ceri: To sum up, so far we know they knew about the ship, because they targeted us, how to reach us, about you…
Crystal: Gee, I wish I could remember something so that I can appear in this part…
Knivy: Well, you just did
Crystal: Hm?
Knivy: By saying that you don`t remember, you just appeared, congratulations
Crystal: Oh yeah? Well, you just appeared too, only to tell me off
Knivy: Yeah, I wanted to appear in this chapter too
Crystal: Are we even?
Knivy: Yes we are
Neo: So they know all that stuff… *Stands up*
Ako: Well, seeing how all those things they knew are things that only people inside this ship should know…
Attila: Yeah, I think so too. Someone`s leaking information
Atoli: Y… you mean…?
Lenore: Yes. There`s a traitor among us *Everyone falls silent*
Neo: Unfortunately, that seems to be the case… *Walks up to the blackboard* I`ve been thinking about that option for some time now, and if we take it to be correct… *Grabs a piece of chalk* This would be our current situation… *Starts drawing*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Blackboard.jpg

Crystal: Wait a second, why`d you draw only yourself…?
Neo: Well, because I am obviously not the traitor… however… *Points the chalk at them* Each and every one of you is under suspicion… *Gives all of them the evil eye*
Lenore: What…?!
Attila: Are you serious?!
Ewoyn: *Stands up* How can you say something like that…!
Neo: Whoa, whoa, whoa, see how you all reacted? You`re only confirming my suspicions…
Nam: I didn`t say anything. Am I free of suspicion?
Neo: Well, the fact that you didn`t try to defend your integrity makes you even more suspicious
Nam: Darn…
Attila: Well, traitor or not, I need to know what we are going to do, I have to drive, remember?
Ako: Oh yeah… wait… if you`re here, who`s driving right now?
Attila: I left the auto-pilot on
Ako: Ah, good… I guess
Lenore: Well, for now… I think the best thing to do is keep going as we were, trying to reach the evil sky fortress, we`ll attempt to find out who the traitor is along the way. We can`t afford to lose time…
Kokoro: Especially when the fortress is running away from us
Lenore: Yeah, especially when… wait, what?
Kokoro: Well… *Secures her glasses on, her laptop in front of her* Remember when I told you that the fortress wasn`t as close as it looked?
Neo: Yes, because of the mirrored particles
Kokoro: Exactly. Well, not only did it end up being much farther, but its also moving
Neo: The fortress is moving…?
Kokoro: At a very slow pace, its almost not noticeable, but with my analysis I can tell its location changes by a couple of metres the closer we get… it`s moving away from us
Lenore: [CENSORED]…
Kokoro: W… we shouldn`t worry too much! Its nothing, we will be able to reach the fortress, I just think I should let you know this
Attila: Aha, so we`ll keep going same as before? That`s no fun at all
Neo: Yeah, we have stuff to do while getting there
Ako: And we have to bear in mind that they can attack us again any time…
Attila: I hope so, because… *Seras walks inside the meeting room. She was untidy, dirty, and once again her breasts looked like they were trying to escape*
Seras: Argh, dammit…
Neo: Whoa, Seras! How`re the reparations going?
Seras: Like Britney Spears` divorce
Neo: Oh… ugh…
Seras: But I`ll manage…
Neo: What about the group I assigned to help you?
Seras: They`re a bunch of weak worthless lazy [CENSORED][CENSORED] of a [CENSORED]
Neo: Oh… um… I see…
Seras: Its better if I do everything alone, but I need you to get something for me
Neo: What is it?
Seras: To repair the internal damages on the deck, I need a Thermal Hydraulic Ion Neutralizer Grade Yellow
Neo: A… what…?
Seras: I need a T.H.I.N.G.Y.
Neo: Oh, a T.H.I.N.G.Y.! There`s one in the deposit, I think…
Seras: I know, I tried to go get it myself, but you activated the security code…
Neo: Agh, that`s true, heheh…
Lenore: I told you not to do that, Neo… why would we need the security code?
Neo: Well, heh, that`s because there`s also where I keep my… well… never mind, I`ll go get the T.H.I.N.G.Y., I`ll be right back! *Leaves the meeting room*
Seras: Ahhh, I`m beat… *Sits down* So, what were you all talking about?

- Apoliner`s Deposit

Neo: Pffft, “Why would we need the security code?” she asks, hahaha~ *Stands beside a huge door and in front of a security panel with letters and numbers* Well, there`s no way I`m going on a trip without taking my hentai collection with me, tch… *Types something and the door opens*

After Neo entered the ship`s deposit, the doors closed behind him, letting us see there was someone beside the doors inside, his blue hair covering his eyes in a gloomy expression, and his body almost invisible thanks to the darkness of the place and his black tuxedo…

Doc: Hey there… *Serious voice*
Neo: *Jumps* HOLY [CENSORED] WHAT THE [CENSORED]!!! *Turns around* Oh my god, Doc… don`t startle me like that… gosh… argh… *Recovers breath* Man… dude… argh…
Doc: Heh, sorry…
Neo: Wait a sec… *Looks at him* How the heck did you get in here…?! And… *Looks at the mountains of hentai material behind him and stands in front of them with arms extended* M… more importantly! I would like to let you know that all this belongs to Lenore!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Hentaiohlawd.jpg

Doc: Hahah…
Neo: Yeah, and… h… hey… I haven`t seen you in a long time…
Doc: Really?
Neo: Yeah, actually… I haven`t seen you at all since we took off *Looks carefully at the Doc* Anywhere…
Doc: I`ve been busy…
Neo: Busy doing what…? *Remembers something* Busy not helping us while we were being attacked…!!
Doc: Mhh…
Neo: I remember now, you weren`t there! Where were you while we were all fighting?!
Doc: As I said… I was busy… *Lifts his head, allowing us to see his eyes, red*
Neo: Oh no… oh, no, no, no, no, no… you…?
Doc: I`ve been wanting to talk to you, Neo… *Sad expression*
Neo: Oh [CENSORED]… don`t tell me it was you… don`t…
Doc: Yeah… unfortunately, it was me…
Neo: But… you are… since when… you… *Looks at the floor*
Doc: Since you first saw me. As soon as I saw you guys running across the Ancient Elven Woods I knew it would pay off to tag along… and here I am…
Neo: So all this time… you… were an evil player… you were infected…
Doc: That`s right…
Neo: But, how… how couldn`t we tell… I mean, the eyes… and…
Doc: Oh, I have special abilities. Such as concealing the evil signs in my body… however, I wasn`t lying when I told you I wanted to talk to you *Looks straight at Neo, who looks straight back*
Neo: *Serious* And what do you want to say?
Doc: Heh… *Smirks before running his hand over his hair, which turns red*
Neo: Wh… what…?!
Doc: *His eyes turn white* I am a shadow… the true self…
Neo: A shadow…
Doc: Neo, it`s time you faced an enemy you`ve been running away from for a long time…
Neo: Running away? Hah! Fat chance, I never run away from anyone, and I`m certainly not gonna run away from you, Doc…
Doc: I don`t mean me, I mean you
Neo: Huh?
Doc: You`re changing. You`re turning into something you never wanted to be
Neo: Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don`t get it, what do you mean?
Doc: You`re a hypocrite. And a hater
Neo: I am not
Doc: I have proof
Neo: Well, bring it on!
Doc: Let`s see… how about that girl who`s all the time complaining…?
Neo: That… girl…?
Doc: You know, that one… that obnoxious, self-centered spoiled brat… you hate her, right?
Neo: N… no… I mean… how do you…?
Doc: *Makes girly voice* “For crying out loud, can`t a girl have any peace?!”
Neo: *Opens eyes wide* How do you know…
Doc: I know lots of things. So? You hate her, yes?
Neo: No… more like… dislike, but not hate… I…
Doc: Aw, come on… that`s not what you thought when she was “Disregarding the unimportant”, right?
Neo: Stop it.
Doc: What about those guys who always talk about themselves? Everything`s always about themselves, their lives, their game, their stats, their likes and dislikes… but of course, that`s something they`d never admit, isn`t that so…?
Neo: Yeah…
Doc: What a bunch of hypocrites, right?
Neo: *Looks at the floor again* Aha…
Doc: Yeah, always talking about how much they dislike all the fabled “Drama”, while stirring it up themselves, rolling in it and enjoying, like pigs on their own mud…
Neo: *Looks helpless* Uhum…
Doc: However, you are writing this about yourself right now…
Neo: *Opens eyes wide again* I am…
Doc: Making you one of them, Neo, another hypocrite… a really important one, too…
Neo: Me…?
Doc: That`s right, you. You have to accept it
Neo: S… shut up… cut the emo [CENSORED]
Doc: Oh yeah? What about that habit of yours of not letting your friends like those who you dislike?
Neo: That`s normal…
Doc: No its not. You hate them, we both already know that. Then why do your friends like them? Does that make any sense? If your friends are on good terms with those who aren`t in good terms with you… why are they your friends in the first place?
Neo: Shut up… and don`t you dare give any names
Doc: You know I`m not making this up, Neo… you know it all comes from your head. I`m just showing it to you
Neo: I already know what`s in my head
Doc: But others don`t, and that bothers you to no end. Wouldn`t it be simpler if people could just read your mind? You`d be able to get away with telling people what you really think of them…
Neo: Stop it… stop it!!
Doc: Going back to your friends… you can`t even understand it, can you? After all, those who you hate haven`t done anything to them…
Neo: Sh…
Doc: But is that enough? How can your friends not care for the fact that they did indeed do something to you? Do they not care at all?
Neo: Stop… it…
Doc: Or maybe… you know, maybe they did do something to your friends, but, they forgive them… and you get jealous…
Neo: No… no…
Doc: Or maybe… just maybe… maybe you are not the center of the universe after all…
Neo: *Raises his head and looks at him* Shut the hell up, that`s not what I think…!!!
Doc: It would be best if you calmed down Neo… don`t make me get started with Meiu…
Neo: *Glares fiercely* You`re not going there…
Doc: Looks like I hit a sore spot, doesn`t it? So, jackpot? Do you hate her…?
Neo: I told you not to mention…
Doc: …any names, but does it matter? She`s not coming back, Neo, you know it. She`s gone forever, and she didn`t even leave a note, hahah…
Neo: Argh… who are you…? You`re not the Do…
Doc: I told you, I am a shadow. And right now, I am you. But don`t start biting around the bush, Neo, do you hate her, yes or no?
Neo: No, I don`t!
Doc: Yeah. As if you even believed that
Neo: I don`t, shut up…!!
Doc: If only she had said something, you would`ve understood, because you cared about her… but no, she just vanished. And you know she`s allright, she`s fine… away from you, that is
Neo: Shut up… shut up…
Doc: That reaction says it all… *Shrugs* But I also know you`re in love now, and…
Neo: ShutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupSHUTUPSHUTUPSH UTPSHUTUUUP!! *Neo screams at the sky… well, the ceiling, and is slowly covered by a thick red aura*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/20070822-Sachiel1.jpg

Doc: Hmm…
Neo: What makes you think you can just appear and say all that [CENSORED] about me…?!
Doc: I told you, right now, I am you
Neo: YOU ARE NOT ME…!! *Neo runs up to the Doc and lunges, attacking*

Chapter 14: Neo versus Doc

No time for explanations, truebelievers! After the Doc`s mental assault, Neo had entered berserk status, and a red aura had appeared around him… what`s going to happen now?!

Neo: What makes you think you can just appear and say all that [CENSORED] about me…?!
Doc: I told you, right now, I am you
Neo: YOU ARE NOT ME…!! *Neo runs up to the Doc and lunges, attacking*

- Apoliner`s Deposit

The Doc was calmly standing in front of the infuriated Neo, no weapon drawn, just staring at what he had created…
Neo: Y… you… you…
Doc: Me… me… me… *Agent Smith appears behind a pile of magazines*
Smith: Me too… *They both glare at him* Ah, dammit. Sorry guys, wrong movie *Leaves*
Doc: So… where were we?
Neo: *Starts drawing in power from the aura, his eyes turn red and his teeth sharpen* Gh… ghh… grrrr… you…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/owned1cz8.jpg

Doc: The fact you`re getting angrier only shows that I was right in stating that you`re a worthless hypocrite, just like the rest…
Neo: SHUT THE HELL UUUUUUP…!! *Neo runs at the Doc, ready to attack with his bare hands*
Doc: Useless… *Dissappears and appears behind him*
Neo: Hm?! *Stops and looks around* Grrr…
Doc: Over here…
Neo: *Turns around, his voice almost a growl* Dooooooc…
Doc: That`s right, Neo. I`m the Doc, this is me. And at the same time, I am your shadow… I see you understand now
Neo: *Glares at him, trying to remain still* You`ve been… infected by the evil… force… Doc…
Doc: As a matter of fact, the evil force lay dormant inside my body, until our Lord awakened recently… I believe you`re already familiar with that aspect of my nature
Neo: Ghhh… you mean… grrr… you`re like them…
Doc: Like Kitone and Mrew, exactly… with the events that have been taking place lately, the evil force laying in our hearts reacted to them. I do act different than the Doc you used to know, hm?
Neo: Grrr… at least… you know how to speak… correctly…
Doc: Yeah, we`re nothing like our other selves… well…
Both: *At the same time* Except Mrew *They both laugh for a minute before regaining their former positions*
Neo: Gh… ghhh… s… so…
Doc: You already know I can conceal the evil signs. What I am going to do, is eliminate you here and meet the others to announce your unfortunate death…
Neo: Heh… they`d never… believe you…
Doc: Oh, with a little mind twisting, they will… *A voice sounds inside Neo`s head* “Remember what I can do”
Neo: Ggrraagh… *Grabs his head with both hands* Nghhh…
Doc: After that, I intend to go on with my original plan, and secretly assist on the demise of this vessel
Neo: Arrghhh, stop... talking like that…!! I should… be using those… words…
Doc: Nah, you`re too angry to do that, aren`t you? Why don`t you come at me, Neo? I`m not holding any weapon…
Neo: Grrrraaarrghh…!! *Represses an urge to throw himself against Doc* I need… to think…
Doc: To think, in this situation, is to talk. I can see everything that`s going through your head right now… now, it`s the way in which you`re gonna attack me… now, it`s what your friends might be doing right now… now, it`s the third chapter of “Immoral sisters”… dude, you`re sick
Neo: Heh… I just… saw that DVD over there… *Points at a pile of hentai stuff*
Doc: *Looks at the pile* Aha…
Neo: *Dashes forward and violently punches Doc in the face* OOOORRYAAHHH…!!
Doc: *Stumbles, surprised* Wha… how…?!
Neo: Heheh… it seems… that you weren`t able to read… that… heh… *Looks satisfied in his anger*
Doc: But, how…?! I should have seen that coming, I… *Looks at Neo, seriously, then closes his eyes* Now you`re happy that you hit me, now you`re planning on using the hentai stuff to distract me *Opens eyes* But that`s not gonna work, Neo…
Neo: *Looks at the hentai piles once again* Aw, shoot…
Doc: *Touches his face where he was hit* Damn… *Looks at Neo again, who hears the voice in his head* “You won`t be able to do it again”
Neo: Nghhh… *His head hurts* Arghh… no…
Doc: This is where it all ends… I don`t need a sword or an axe to take you down, Neo, that was the old Doc. The only weapons I need to use are your thoughts, your feelings, and your memories…
Neo: *Falls on his knees, grabbing his head* Aghh… dam… dammit… *Closes his eyes hard*

Neo opened his eyes, he was submerged in a sea of memories, vivid images flowing around him. He saw himself in situations he didn`t want to remember, the people who made him mad were all there, doing the things Neo hated about them. He saw himself being called someone “irrelevant”, he saw his problems being disregarded as unimportant, he saw friends disappearing and never coming back, he saw the not-so-bright side of the internet, making people seem so close when they are really so far away. He saw himself hanging out with Meiu, being together with her, and realizing by surprise one day that she wasn`t around and that she would probably never be again…

Neo: Nghh… agh… ahhhh… *Falls to the ground, and faints*
Doc: Heh… it was inevitable, Neo… you gotta be careful of yourself… *Starts walking towards him*

And then, since the Doc had probably eased the mind assault a little, Neo started seeing other people, who looked at him in that sea that was his mind, and talked to him…

Ako: Dude, get up and fight, I know you`re better than this! *Raises her thumb*

Zappy: LOL PWNED… erm, I mean… GO NEO GO

Atoli: Neo, please get up, I know you can do it… I know it!

Ceri: Focus your chakra, Neo! Come on!

Seras: This isn`t something I can fix, but I sure know you can get outta this one… hey, my face is up here, dammit!!

Attila: I am without a doubt one of the best healers in Apoline, I`ve been tested in almost every situation. I`m proud of what I`ve managed to do

Ewoyn: *Looks around* What…? I`m not gonna say anything. The one who gives speeches like this and revives the fallen ones is Arwen, and she sucks, I`m much better than her

Lenore: So, lemme get this straight… you CAN watch a video I send to you about a naked guy doing horrible things to himself with the most unimaginable objects… but you CAN`T take a puny mind assault by this [CENSORED]? Well you better get up right now, or I`m not ever [CENSORED] talking to you again, [CENSORED]!

Neo heard them all, feeling their words become his energy, and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was back in the deposit…

Neo: Nghh…? *Opens his eyes while lying on the floor without Doc realizing, since he was facing his back* Oh…
Doc: *Keeps walking towards him* As easy as I expected…
Neo: *Stays still while thinking* He thinks I`m dead…? This is my chance…
Doc: Now, those idiots will never believe he actually died in this state, so I might have to get a little dirty after all… *Puts a hand in his pocket*
Neo: Raaaaarrrghh…!! *Jumps over him, knocking him to the ground* O HAI THAR…!!
Doc: H… huh?! What the…?!
Neo: I got you now…! *Sits over the doc, grabbing his neck with both hands, pressing a little*
Doc: Heh… and… ghh… what… are you… gonna do…? *Neo glares at him* Are you… going to… kill me…?
Neo: That`s not what I want…
Doc: Yeah… heh… you keep… telling yourself that… *Looks to the side*
Neo: Doc… I`m warning you…
Doc: In truth… you don`t have the guts… and after you leave this room, you`ll continue to live your bitter… *Neo`s red aura starts building up again* … false… *His teeth sharpen once more* … hypocritical life…
Neo: Ghhhh… *Closes his eyes sharply* Grrrrr… *Tightens his grip on Doc`s neck*
Doc: Come on… give in… to anger… and hatred…
Neo: Grghhhh… aghhh… *Tries to resist, but presses harder*
Doc: That`s… all… you know… how to do… in the end…
Neo: *Opens his eyes and screams at the sky* RAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHH…!!! *His hands turn into sharp claws, and his grimace from before turns into an insane smile, as the camera turns to the wall and shows us his shadow desecrating Doc`s body* HIIIIYYAAAHHHHH…!!!

A while after that, in the…

- Apoliner`s Meeting Hall

Seras: *Sitting down, bored* Gee, he sure is taking his time…
Lenore: The others have already left to make sure everything is ready… do you want to go too? I`ll make him give you the…
Seras: No, no, I`ve already done all I can, I need the T.H.I.N.G.Y. to go on with the reparations…
Lenore: Ah, I see… oh well…
Seras: *Slams her fist on the table* Where is that loser?! We`re losing precious tim…!! *Neo appears at the door of the hall, stained in blood, his face was more apathetic than an emo`s Myspace profile* Oh, there you are! Wait, where`s the T.H.I.N.G.Y.?
Lenore: Dude, you took forev… what the hell? Is that blood?!
Neo: *Stares at them* The Doc is dead
Lenore: What?!
Seras: You mean Feelgood? He`s dead?! Wait, you don`t mean…
Neo: *Still apathetic* He was an evil player, so I killed him…
Lenore: *Stunned* I can`t believe it… all this time…?
Neo: I had no choice… *Looks at the ground*
Lenore: Neo, are you okay…?
Neo: I`m going to my room for a while. I`ll be there… *Walks away in direction to his room*
Lenore: Hey, wait…!
Neo: *Looks at her* I want to be alone *Keeps walking*
Lenore: Wait, dammit…! *Tries to follow him, but Seras speaks*
Seras: Wait a second, let him be…
Lenore: Ahhh, dammit… *Slams her fist on the table, poor table*
Seras: Well, now we know who was leaking information, heh…
Lenore: But, the Doc was the traitor? Then, all this time, he was infected… and we didn`t notice?
Seras: We`ll have to talk to Neo once he snaps out of his emo-ness… but right now *Stands up* I gotta go check the deposit
Lenore: Y… yeah… judging from his armor, there`s gonna be a nice mess to clean there…
Seras: Not only that, I still need that T.H.I.N.G.Y., and you better start praying that it hasn`t been damaged, or we`re [CENSORED]…

Meanwhile, far away from there…

- Evil Sky Fortress

Two evil players are walking along one of the passages…
Evil cleric: Did you hear? Mrew and Kitone couldn`t complete their mission!
Evil archer: What, seriously? Where did you hear that from?
Evil cleric: A friend who has contacts told me, apparently, they saw them running away from the rebel ship in the Dark Darkness!
Evil archer: Wait… their mission was to attack the rebel ship by surprise, and destroy them, right?
Evil cleric: That`s right, and they couldn`t even do that…
Evil archer: Well, apparently the rebels are tougher than we thought…
Evil cleric: It would seem… I mean, I didn`t think Mrew and Kitone were THAT strong, but, I really thought they could pull this one off…
Evil archer: Yeah… hey, does the Evil Lord know about this?
Evil cleric: No, and for now, it`s better if he doesn`t know
Evil archer: What? You sure? He`s gonna kill us if he finds out we knew and we didn`t tell him!
Evil cleric: But if he finds out he might kill us anyway, and this way the Lord`s calm, and we can slack off, do nothing, relax… otherwise we`d have to work…
Evil archer: You`re right… yeah… if he thinks they`re handling it…
Evil cleric: So, hey, who do you think is the Lord gonna send after the rebels next?
Evil archer: Oh, I bet it`s gonna be that creep Sereno…
Evil cleric: Yeah, I think so too, he`s been getting pretty popular around here lately, being a general and all…
Evil archer: He creeps me out dude, walking around in that speedo…
Evil cleric: Yeah, or that girly blue dress… *Shudder*
Evil archer: Do you really think he…? *Makes an obscene gesture involving his mouth and his hand*
Evil cleric: You mean, if he…? *Makes the same gesture, but with both hands*
Evil archer: Yeah, y`know, if he… *Makes an extremely odd but super descriptive gesture with both his hands, his mouth, and his legs, we can`t really figure out what it means, but we`re sure that deep down, it has to do with homosexuality*
Evil cleric: Dude, that was gross
Evil archer: Sorry
Evil cleric: But, yeah, definitely, I think so…
Evil archer: Yup… man, that Sereno… *They hear a voice behind them*
Sereno: Oh, how delighted I am~! You two must be talking about me…! *Smiles cheerfully*
Evil cleric: *Turns around with his buddy* Oh man… oh man, oh man…
Evil archer: S… Sereno… hi… um… y… you`re not gonna… hit on us, right?
Sereno: Hahaha~! Hit on you? *His expression turns serious* Hit on worthless scum like you…? Who the hell do you think I am…?! *Charges fire energy in his hand*
Evil cleric: Aw man, we`re dead… what`re we going to do now…?!
Sereno: DIE…!! *Releases an enormous flame from his hand, burning them to cinders* DRAGON FLAME…!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Serenoflame.jpg

Evil archer: Aaaaaarrrghhhhh…!! *Melts*
Sereno: Tch… idiots… this place is full of them… *Smiles again* Oh well, I must not let that get me down, I got valuable information from those two buffoons~! I must tell the Evil Lord as soon as possible~! *Walks through the passageway merrily*

And back in the Apoliner…

- Captain`s Chamber

Neo`s sitting in his bed, looking at the posters in the walls
Neo: *Sigh* What`s going on… why did this happen all of a sudden…? *Grabs a notebook from a nearby table, that has the words “Captain`s log (xD)” in the cover* This… this is supposed to be a comedy… then… then why am I…

Chronicles of the
GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 15: For great justice!

At the end of the last chapter, we had left our red-haired hero sitting alone in his cabin, depressed and deep in thought…

- Captain`s Chamber

Neo: Hmmmm… argh, I can`t get over all those things Doc said… about the people I don`t like… *Gets up, and we can see he has a white line in his hair* Argh… those words… they`re true, what he was saying is true… this place is so… so full of… *Starts walking and singing hurriedly*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/sweeney-todd.jpg

There`s a hole in the net like a great black pit
And the vermin of that world inhabit it
And its morals aren`t worth what a pin can spit
And it goes by the name of Fiesta
At the top of the game sit the privileged few
Making mock of the newbies in the lonely zoo
Turning beauty to filth and greed
I too have sailed the internet and seen its wonders
For the cruelty of men is as wonderous as in WoW
But there`s no place like Fiesta!

Suddenly, Neo stopped walking, realizing what he was saying…

Neo: No… *Sits down in his bed and loses the white stripe in his hair* No, no, no, no, no, that won`t do at all… that`s not exactly how things are… *Sigh* I need to pull myself together and find a balance…

Neo started looking at the walls. He had various posters on them, and he was staring directly at one that had his favourite band on it…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/TwistedSister.jpg

Neo: *Sigh* Mhh… *Starts singing again*

Dee Snider can you hear me, I am lost and so alone
I`m asking for your guidance, won`t you come down from your throne
I need a tight compadre, my emotions I won`t block
The Doc said I`m a huge fake, but man, he can suck a [CENSORED]

And then, to Neo`s amazement, the Dee Snider on the Twisted Sister poster came to life, and spoke to him!

Dee: Here I am, Neo! What do you need…?
Neo: Wh… *Rubs his eyes and looks again* Wha… how… What?! Dee, is it really you?
Dee: Yeah, man, I`m your spiritual guide!
Neo: You? Aren`t they supposed to be animals? Like, snakes, or coyotes?
Dee: Only if you`re a northamerican indian, dude! However, I am not your… REAL spiritual guide, but, I am here to help you…!! *Bangs his head*
Neo: W… whoa…
Dee: So! What`s your problem, man?
Neo: Well, let`s see… I just killed someone
Dee: AWESOME!!
Neo: No, really, I killed a guy
Dee: Was he ticking you off?
Neo: Yeah. Well… yeah, yeah he was. I mean, he wanted to kill me and stuff
Dee: Then you did the right thing, man! *Makes heavy metal pose* Yeah…!!
Neo: But the guy said some things before I did that. He could read my mind, so he said some things I think…
Dee: *Stops rocking* Aha… so he could read your mind…
Neo: Yeah, and he spoke about what I think of a lot of people. And they really are people I can`t stand… he said I`m full of hate
Dee: Is that true, man?
Neo: Well… I don`t really know. What he said is true, I don`t like those people, but he said I`m a hypocrite
Dee: He did, huh? Well, I hate a lot of people myself, man! And, do you let this people know what you think of them?
Neo: Not really… I mean, I don`t lie, but I don`t go around telling them what I think about them… right?
Dee: Well man, you gotta tell them YOU`RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT…!!
Neo: Yeah…
Dee: Tell them they`re so condescending, their gall is never ending, YOU DON`T WANT NOTHING, NOT A THING FROM THEM…!!
Neo: Yeah… yeah, you`re right…!!
Dee: You got it, man!
Neo: Yeah… I think… I feel a lot better now! *Looks at the poster* Thanks, Dee Snider
Dee: No problem, dude, anytime…! *Heavy metal pose* I WANNA ROCK!! *Freezes in the same pose as he had before awakening*
Neo: *Gets up* My mind is clear now…! I… *Looks at his own hands* I know what to fight for… *Someone knocks on the door*
Lenore: Neeeeooooo…! You there…?
Neo: Coming…! *Opens the door, smiling* Hey there!
Lenore: Oh, Neo… um, well, I came here because… maybe you needed someone to talk to and…
Neo: Don`t worry Lenore, I already talked with Dee Snider
Lenore: Cool, that`s goo—Wait, what?
Neo: Yeah, he came outta my poster!
Lenore: He came… outta your poster…
Neo: That`s right! And we talked… but hey, I`m gonna talk to the others now, come with me! *Takes her hand and drags her into the bridge*
Lenore: Beaten by a glam metal rockstar… whoa…

- Apoliner`s Bridge

Neo walks in, followed by Lenore. The rest of the crew was there, well, not all of it, the ones you know…
Neo: Hello, everyone!
Ako: *Surprised, like the rest* Neo…!
Attila: You`re finally here…
Atoli: Neo, are you okay…?
Neo: I`m allright now, I`m sorry I made you all worry
Seras: Worried? Us? Pst, please… good to know you`re not emo anymore, though…
Ceri: Hey, Neo, we heard about Doc…
Ewoyn: Yeah, um… we wanted to tell you, you don`t have to beat yourself up about it, I mean…
Nam: Yeah, you know, one has to do what one has to do
Neo: That`s okay, I`m over it now, but I wanted to tell you all something, so everyone, pay atten… *Notices Kokoro is reading a book* Kokoro!
Kokoro: Hm? *Raises her head from the book* Oh! Sorry, Neo *Smiles*
Neo: Excuse me… *Walks slowly up to her* What is this…?
Kokoro: What? This? Oh, it`s just a book I`m reading… *Tries to hide it*
Neo: No, no, let me see it… *Takes the book from her* Aha… *Takes a look at the book, which ends up being “Twilight”* Hmmm…
Kokoro: S… sorry…
Neo: *Looks at the book and then at Kokoro, carefully* So it was this…
Kokoro: S… sorry, Neo…
Neo: Have you been hiding this from me?
Kokoro: N… no, I… I just…
Neo: Yes you have… *Walks around with the book in his raised hand* Yes you have, and you know, Kokoro, that I do not allow literature of this type in this vessel…
Kokoro: I`m really sorry Neo, I know you don`t like that book, so I…
Neo: No! *Looks at her again* Don`t call this a book! It`s not worthy of being called a book! I`m actually ashamed I qualified it as literature a couple of lines ago, so scratch that!
Kokoro: Neo, please…
Neo: I am confiscating this…!
Kokoro: No, I need it! *Desperate*
Neo: See?! That`s what I mean! That’s what this… thing is doing to you!
Kokoro: Give it back, I need it…!
Neo: Here I am, trying to pour my heart in the words I was about to say, and you… you…!! *Dee Snider appears near Kokoro, the others can`t see nor hear him*
Dee: Man, chill out!
Neo: Dee…?
Dee: Yeah man, its me. You don`t need to get so heated, it`s just a crappy book, man…
Neo: Yeah, but… *Looks at the rockstar and raises the book* Dee, I can`t stand this [CENSORED]

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Pooplight.jpg

Dee: Well, neither can I, dude, but sometimes we have to be tolerant y`know
Ako: Umm… Neo? Who are you talking to…?
Neo: *Sigh* You`re right… I learned that lesson…
Dee: Give her back her book and say what you need to say, man! *Raises his thumb and then vanishes*
Lenore: *Slowly* Is it that rock star you mentioned before, Neo…?
Attila: Rock star?
Lenore: I guess, that`s what he said…
Crystal: You okay, Neo? You don`t seem to be feeling well…
Neo: No, no, I`m okay, sorry… it was nothing
Kokoro: Neo, I`m sorry…
Neo: Nah, I`m sorry… *Looks at the book, disgusted* … I guess… *Throws it at Kokoro* Take it before I change my mind…
Kokoro: *Grabs the book and hugs it* Thanks, Neo…!!
Neo: Yeah, yeah… *Walks to where he was before* We`ll have a talk about that later…
Lenore: Neo, are you completely sure you`re okay? We`re worried about you, y`know…
Neo: I`m okay, Len, I`m sure of it
Juneau: But you`re seeing things, talking to yourself…
Neo: I wasn`t talking to myself, he was my spiritual guide!
Juneau: Yeah, well… *Points at him* That`s kinda what I`m talking about
Lenore: You can`t deny that after the fight you had with Doc down there, you`ve been acting kinda strange…
Neo: Yeah, but that`s because I`ve been thinking a lot about a lot of things, so please, liste…
Zappy: Do you hear the voices, Neo…?
Neo: I`m not hearing any voices, Zap…
Zappy: What are the voices telling you…?
Neo: Nothing, I am not hearing voices
Zappy: Do they tell you to burn things, Neo…?
Neo: Shhhh…! Just listen up already! *Everyone assumes listening positions* Okay, so, during the battle with Doc, and after it, I was questioned about our reason to fight…
Attila: I thought we had that clear
Neo: We thought we had that clear, yes, but everything`s relative, since everyone has their own sense of “Good and evil”
Lenore: Ah, I see…
Neo: We are fighting against evil, a force that focuses on ruining other`s well being purposefully, according to what Ako told us when she was possessed…
Knivy: *Raises his hand* I had a question regarding that
Neo: *Points at him* Yes
Knivy: Well, you said that when Ako was infected by the evil force, Attila was able to exorcise her and bring her back to normal…
Attila: That`s what I did, because I am one of the best…
Neo: Wait *Stops Attila* I`m going to allow only one of those jokes every two chapters. It`s getting kinda repetitive
Attila: Well, don`t tell me, you`re the one writing
Neo: Right, sorry *Points at Knivy again* Go on
Knivy: Why didn`t we do that with Doc too? Y`know, taking the evil out of him?
Neo: Unfortunately, Doc wasn`t possessed by the evil force. He was like Kitone and Mrew, the evil force lived within him, and was awakened recently. There was nothing we could do…
Knivy: Oh… *Looks down* I see…
Neo: I am really sad that things had to go as they went, but we can`t waste more time than I already did listening to My Chemical Romance in my room…
Seras: Gosh, you really were emo…
Juneau: Like Peter Parker on Spiderman 3…
Knivy: *Looks at June* That wasn`t emo
Juneau: That SO was…
Neo: As I was saying, the evil force just focuses in screwing others up, there`s no second reading to that, it`s not being only selfish, or self-centered, or conceited, or anything else, its being evil. It collides with our sense of justice… or is anyone here okay with that concept?
Lenore: No
Ako: No
Attila: No
Atoli: No
Ceri: No
Crystal: No
Nam: No
Ewoyn: No
Knivy: No
Seras: No
Juneau: No
Mystra: No
Zappy: Yes… erm, I mean, no. Heh, no!
Neo: Good. I know you all probably know this, but never let anyone question your principles, even if its some smart-mind-twisting villiain… It worked on me a couple of hours ago
Lenore: I see…
Neo: So whenever someone questions your principles and tries to make you believe they are wrong…
Lenore: Punch him in the face!
Ako: Poke his guts out!
Zappy: PK him and make him curse at you so you can report him and have a valid reason to whine if he doesn`t get banned!
Neo: Yes, you could do that too. Everything`s okay as long as they understand you`re sure about your ideals and as long as you let them know that you`re fighting for your own sense of justice! *Clenches his fist and raises it* So just look at them in the eyes and tell them that… *The ghost of Dee Snider appears behind Neo, mimicking his motions* WE`RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT…!! *Everyone looks at him*
Attila: We knew that
Neo: C`mon guys, a little cooperation here…
Kokoro: Hm? *Raises her head from the book* Something the matter?
Neo: KOKORO, PUT THAT [CENSORED] AWAY RIGHT NOW…!!!
Kokoro: Kyaaaa, sorry, sorry…!! *Puts the book down*
Neo: C`mon guys, get your head in the game…!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Troy-Bolton-Basketball.jpg

Seras: What Neo`s saying is right, losers *Gets up* I`m sure an awful lot of you wouldn`t have made it through if a mind-reading enemy would`ve attacked you, so bloody pay attention, okay?! *Raises a monkey-wrench*
Ewoyn: Y… yeah… *Stops with the card castle she was building*
Nam: You`re right *Puts away the cooking book he was reading*
Ceri: Sorry… *Turns off the Playstation 2 where she was playing Narutimetto Hero 3*
Crystal: Argh… *Looks guilty as she puts away the controller, she was playing with Ceri* I was winning…
Ceri: You weren`t, I had my special ready
Crystal: Who had more health?
Ceri: Well, you, but I was gonna…
Crystal: Shhh…!
Ceri: Hey, but…!
Crystal: Zip it
Ceri: You zip it!
Crystal: NO U
Ceri: NO U
Crystal: NO U
Ceri: NO U
Crystal: NO U
Ceri: NO U
Neo: NO U TWO…!! *They both look at him* I swear, I`m almost done… please let me finish…
Lenore: Dang… looks like things aren`t going as you planned…
Neo: Well… one of the things that supposedly I learnt, is to cope with these situations without getting angry and stuff…
Ako: You certainly learnt how to do that, hahaha…!
Neo: *Closes his eyes and counts to 10* Well, guys… as I was saying… just keep that in mind and let`s continue fighting the forces of evil as we`ve been doing, okay? I wanted you all to be prepared and sure about what we`re doing…
Ewoyn: *Understanding smile* Don`t worry Neo, we got your back
Crystal: And you got ours!
Atoli: We won`t let anyone mess with our beliefs
Juneau: Yeah, we all want the same thing in the end…
Neo: I`m glad to hear that, guys… let`s get going now. Let`s show those evil guys what we`re made of…!! We`ll fight…
Everyone: *They all raise their fists* FOR GREAT JUSTICE…!!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Justicecat.jpg

What a lovely scene, right? However, something different was going on in the floating evil lair…

- Evil Sky Fortress

Evil lord: DAMMIT…!! *His shout can be heard everywhere in the fortress*

Evil fighter: *Away, in one of the passages* Uh-oh… looks like the Lord found out about Mrew and Kitone…

Evil Lord: SO CLOSE…!! *The camera zooms in and we see he`s playing Soul Calibur*

Evil mage: *Talking to the fighter after hearing that* Hmm… more like, he lost at Soul Calibur again…
Evil fighter: Well, that`s because he insists on playing only with Nightmare
Evil mage: Yeah, he`s obsessed with evil stuff…
Evil fighter: Aha, he really can`t play RPGs, he can`t stand being a good guy…
Evil mage: Man, Ivy`s hot…

Evil Lord: Tch… *Presses “Retry”* I`ll teach you now… *Sereno walks inside the obscure chamber*
Sereno: Hello, my Loooord~! *Speaks with a girly voice that seems to spawn hearts around him*
Evil Lord: Sereno… *Takes a quick glance at him and keeps playing*
Sereno: My Lord, I have very important news for you, sir~!
Evil Lord: WELL, THEY BETTER BE GOOD…!! *We can see that, in the screen, he`s being owned by Taki* DAMMIT…!!
Sereno: Don`t worry sir, you might not like them at the beginning, but I`m 100% sure that it`ll turn out to be a good thing in the end…
Evil Lord: Well…?!
Sereno: Listen closely… huhuh… *Smirks*

Chapter 16: Evil as evil can be

Alter pulling his act together and giving a rather interrupted speech, Neo`s good to go, and the Apoliner is back on the road! However, let`s focus on the place we left last time, the Evil Sky Fortress, where a very interesting conversation was taking place…

- Evil Sky Fortress

Evil Lord: DAMMIT…!!!
Sereno: B… but sir, I haven`t told you anything yet…
Evil Lord: Who cares?! *Points at the screen* That ninja [CENSORED] is owning by [CENSORED]!! *Flings his controller across the dark room*
Sereno: *Looks worried* M… my Lord… I`ve never seen you act… like this before…
Evil Lord: What was that, Sereno?
Sereno: N… nothing, my Lord!
Evil Lord: Are you maybe implying I`m shouting and cursing out of impotence because I can`t get across this stage on Soul Calibur…?!
Sereno: N… no, I just…!
Evil Lord: Because if you are… you`re right, tch…
Sereno: *Serious* My Lord…
Evil Lord: Well… *Looks at him* What was that you wanted to tell me? The bad thing that was really a good thing?
Sereno: *Smiles a girly smile again* Well sir, my Lord, first of all, I regret to tell you that general Mrew and general Kitone have failed in their mission of taking over the rebel ship Apoliner…
Evil Lord: Aha…
Sereno: I know for a fact that they managed to escape with the Dark Darkness… *Smirks* They ran away from the enemy, disobeying your orders, my Lord…
Evil Lord: I see…
Sereno: But not to worry, sir! I am completely sure they`ll try to attack the Apoliner again in a second attempt to complete their mission, and return victorious without you knowing about their failure, my Lord… I think that we may be able to…
Evil Lord: I knew that
Sereno: E… excuse me, my Lord?
Evil Lord: That Kitone and Mrew failed and ran away, I knew that
Sereno: W… what? Y… you… you did, my Lord?
Evil Lord: Yes I did, Sereno… *Stands up and walks around the place, we still can`t see him clearly* I know everything, Sereno… everything that happens here, not just what goes on in this room…
Sereno: S… sir, I didn`t mean to…
Evil Lord: I am not one of those evil masterminds who stay in the same room and send minion after minion to do the job he is supposed to do from the beginning…
Sereno: N… no? *The Lord gives him a harsh look* I… I mean, of course not!
Evil Lord: I even knew you would come to me today and tell me this… I have everything planned… *Walks slowly towards Sereno*

The Evil Lord walked out of the shadows for the first time, allowing us to see him. He was wearing a heavy suit of armour with a horned helmet that concealed his identity, but, boy, did he look scary…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/EvilLord.jpg

Sereno: M… my Lord… *Starts trembling*
Evil Lord: Do you believe in hell, Sereno?
Sereno: No… I don`t. Good people and evil people are all made of the same material, in the end, they all die and rot
Evil Lord: Heh… I didn`t know you were so rational… *Smirks* the truth is, I do believe in hell…
Sereno: Ah…
Evil Lord: This place we live in *Extends his arms* is full of false people who are violent, lie, and rejoice in the misfortune of others…
Sereno: I see… b… but…
Evil Lord: Isn`t it appropriate to call it “Hell”?
Sereno: *Opens his eyes wide* Sir…
Evil Lord: I think… you need purification, Sereno… *Starts extending a hand towards him*
Sereno: N… no… my… my Lord, no… *Shivers*
Evil Lord: It`s time you witnessed with your own body the true power of the master you are serving… *Grabs Sereno`s forehead*
Sereno: Ahhh… ahhhhh…!! *Screams, scared, but then appears surprised*
Evil Lord: Do you feel it…?
Sereno: Y… yes…
Evil Lord: What do you feel, Sereno?
Sereno: I… I feel you, my Lord…your energy… your power…
Evil Lord: There`s no need to be scared… *Removes his hand*
Sereno: N… no… *Stunned*
Evil Lord: I can do everything, Sereno, anything at all… but I need your help in order to achieve my goal… remember?
Sereno: Yes…
Evil Lord: The nature of all players is violence, and this place is hell. It`s our job to get rid of those who do not abide by this sacred rule. We shall create a place where human beings don`t have to restrain their true desires, where they can live freely, without chains, where the only rule is the survival of the fittest…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/shishio.jpg

Sereno: *Smiles faintly* Sir…
Evil Lord: And I am the fittest! And if you stick by my side, you will be too! *Points at Sereno*
Sereno: Yes, sir!
Evil Lord: Remain loyal to me, Sereno, and I will give you what you desire the most in the world…! *Sereno smiles, overjoyed* The EXvil energy shall be yours, and you`ll share a part of my power!!
Sereno: The EXvil energy…?!
Evil Lord: That`s right… it`s well hidden, since its our ultimate weapon, only to be used as a last resort… wasn`t that what you where looking for, Sereno?
Sereno: Y… yes, my Lord… I know… I know all about it…
Evil Lord: I know strength is what you seek… and I understand, since, in this place called “Hell”… only the strongest may survive
Sereno: Heh… before awakening to this power, sir, I wandered the land looking for true strength, but the place was full of idiots who thought they were looking for the same… I was disgusted…
Evil Lord: And how do you feel now?
Sereno: Better than ever, sir! I`ve met someone who`s enlightened! Greater than I would ever imagined! And I`m honoured to be able to build a new Apoline together with him…!!
Evil Lord: Heh… *Smirks* You`re ready…
Sereno: I will crush them, sir! I`ll get the rebels on the Apoliner and eliminate them! I`ll make sure to bring Mrew and Kitone back too…!
Evil Lord: I`m counting on you, Sereno… however, there`s someone I wasn`t counting on… *Looks at the door of the chamber, which was open* Come in… *No response*
Sereno: What do you mean, sir?
Evil Lord: *Still looking at the door* COME IN…!! *An evil male archer appears at the door*
Evil archer: Y… you mean me, sir…?
Evil Lord: Yes, I meant you. You were there all the time, weren`t you?
Sereno: You were eavesdropping on my conversation with my Lord?!
Evil archer: No! No, no, no! There`s a mistake here, sir! I was just passing by…!!
Sereno: I`ll destroy him, sir, just give me the order! *Hands in his staff*
Evil Lord: Wait, Sereno…
Evil archer: *On his knees* Please, sir, I swear I was just passing by! I was in my way to the meeting room, please, don`t kill me…!!
Sereno: Tch, disgusting…
Evil Lord: So you were just passing by…
Evil archer: Yes, please, please don`t kill me sir…
Sereno: We shouldn`t take chances, my Lord…
Evil Lord: That`s okay… you may go, but I`ll remember your face…
Evil archer: Thank you… thank you, my Lord… *Bows*
Evil Lord: Another mistake and… *Thumb down*
Evil archer: Thank you so much… *Runs away*
Sereno: Tch, my Lord, you are too kind…
Evil Lord: Nothing of the sort… I just wasn`t sure if I felt his presence before, and that guy may be useful…
Sereno: How so, my Lord?
Evil Lord: We shall see… now, on your way Sereno… I sense the rebel ship is getting closer
Sereno: Right away, my Lord! *Salutes*

The evil archer walked fast across the corridor, and didn`t enter the meeting room. He kept walking with a serious expression in his face…

Evil archer: Tch, that Sereno dude really gives me the creeps… he acts like he`s desperately craving the Evil Lord`s [CENSORED]… yuck… *Looks to the sides as he walks* But that conversation really was interesting… they already know about Kitone and Mrew, the Lord`s plan, and more importantly… the EXvil energy, so it IS in this place…

After turning in a corner, the archer stopped. He looked around to make sure nobody was watching, checked for cameras, and then proceeded to slowly transform into Eirlyn in her nurse form…

Eirlyn: Ahhhh… *Places a hand in her neck, as she cracks it* Much better… I hate transforming into guys, its so gross… *Sigh* Why does a gorgeous princess like me have to go through all this… at least I got good information out of it, now it`s time to report back

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/mystique.jpg

Far from there, inside their ship, two old friends were getting a bit bored…

- Dark Darkness` bridge

Kitone: *Looking outside through a huge window* I can`t wait to get my revenge on those idiots…
Mrew: *Lying on a couch, reading “Cosmopolitan”* Then why don`t we go and get done with it? I mean, it`s not like we`re waiting for something, geez…
Kitone: *Turns around* I told you a thousand times we ARE waiting for something!
Mrew: Oh yeah? *Uninterested* And what is that?
Kitone: Well, I`m pretty sure the Dark Lord already knows about our failure, to begin with…
Mrew: *Interested* What?! How?!
Kitone: I have that feeling, he hasn`t received any news from us for some time, so either he knows we failed our mission and escaped, or he thinks we`re both dead…
Mrew: Oh my gosh…
Kitone: I think the first one is more viable, I get the feeling he knows exactly what`s going on…
Mrew: But then… Kitone, but then we`re dead!
Kitone: No, see, that`s the point… we are not dead
Mrew: Huh?
Kitone: Look at us, we`re stil alive… he didn`t kill us yet
Mrew: Well, duh! He can`t, because we`re far away…
Kitone: *Stars walking around the room* Oh, I think he can… even if he couldn`t, he would`ve sent someone…
Mrew: Or maybe he`s waiting for us to appear, and then he`s gonna kill us
Kitone: That could be a possibility, too… but I have a plan… *Smirks*
Mrew: Cool. Spill
Kitone: Well, it`s obvious that he`s gonna send someone new to attack the Apoliner, remember he doesn`t want the rebels to reach the Sky Fortress
Mrew: Aha, he made it clear he didn`t want that to happen
Kitone: He`s gonna send another general to stop them. He may be waiting a little to see if we strike again…
Mrew: And why don`t we do that…?
Kitone: Because that`s what they want us to do! Besides…
Mrew: Hm?
Kitone: We would lose
Mrew: What? My, my, is Kitone accepting defeat?
Kitone: Oh, shut up! They have more people than us, we`re only two, and they`re… heck, I don`t know, they`re a bunch! I thought we were strong enough to take them out, but we`re obviously not…
Mrew: So, what are we doing?
Kitone: What we are doing right now, waiting. Waiting while we check on the Apoliner… *Points at the radar and the cameras*
Mrew: Waiting for what? Get to the point already!
Kitone: Geez, how thick can you be?! Waiting for this new general to attack the Apoliner!
Mrew: Oh! You mean… the new dude the Lord`s gonna send…?
Kitone: Exactly, congratulations! When the new general attacks the ship, hopefully with more success than us, two things can happen, either he wins and takes over the ship, or he loses, but manages to damage them…
Mrew: Aha…
Kitone: If he wins, we appear, exterminate him, or her, and take the glory
Mrew: What if he loses? We keep waiting? I`ve read these magazines over ten times, I know by heart how to perform an upside down fella…
Kitone: Please, don`t
Mrew: Sorry…
Kitone: If he loses, we appear, and finish the job. We just need the new general to damage them more than we did, maybe their numbers will even be reduced, heheh…
Mrew: Well… now that I hear it… I think it`s a good plan…
Kitone: It`s an excellent plan, considering we can`t beat them in our current state… man, if only we had it…
Mrew: Had what?
Kitone: The EXvil energy… if we had it, we`d be able to wipe those losers off the map in no time…
Mrew: The… the what…?
Kitone: *Looks at Mrew, surprised* You… you don`t know what the EXvil energy is…?
Mrew: No. I must`ve fallen asleep in that class *Shrugs*
Kitone: Tch, you`re unbelievable… the EXvil force is the most powerful type of evil energy ever, it`s concentrated evil that is more evil than the regular evil, turning someone evil into someone even more evil!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/EXvilenergy.jpg

Mrew: Ohh… I recall hearing something about it…
Kitone: It’s a force that rivals that of the Evil Lord himself! Its rumored to be somewhere in the fortress, but I bet its well hidden…
Mrew: Why would the Lord have something so dangerous in there?
Kitone: It`s used as a weapon, I bet. But only for extreme situations… it could turn anyone who`s not able to handle it into a monster…
Mrew: I really don`t think we`ll be able to get our hands on that…
Kitone: Yeah… I know…
Mrew: So stop dreaming, and let`s concentrate in our current objective *Grabs another magazine* I hope the Lord sends someone soon, I`m getting really bored here… *Flicks through the pages*
Kitone: I hope so too… *Looks into the sky again, her eyes burning* I can hardly wait…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 17: The Subspace Emissary

On a huge colosseum suspended in the middle of space, Ako and Zappy are standing a good distance in front of each other in battle stances, each of them holding a hand of cards and glaring fiercely at each other

Ako: I summon Neoshaman in combat position! *Ako places a card face up and a hologram-ish Neo appears in front of her, holding his sword*
Zappy: Oh yeah? Well, then I summon Lenore, in combat position too! *Zappy does the same, and Lenore appears, with her huge hammer*
Ako: Let`s do this! *Points at Zappy*
Zappy: All right…!! *Clenches his fists*
Both: ATTAAAAAAAAACK…!!! *Neo and Lenore run towards each other, swinging their weapons, when they clash, the screen is covered by a white glow*

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
Trading Card Game
The battle is ON!

Neo: That`s right, kids! Now you can take part of the battles on board the Apoliner too! *Points at the screen*
Kitone: With the Game Battleship Apoliner Trading Card Game, you and your friends can duke it out with your favourite heroes from the show! *Pulls out her card and poses with it*
Neo: Use items and special techniques to lead your team to victory! *Punches the air*
Kitone: Get your deck today and show everyone what youre made of! Let the challenge begin!
Both: The battle… is ON!

- Apoliner`s bridge

Finally, the good guys on the Apoliner were getting some free time. Of course, little did they know it wouldn’t last long. Well, they probably knew. Anyway, they were all goofin` off…

Voices from the TV: The battle… is ON!
Seras: *Turns off the TV* Lame…
Ako: Hm?
Seras: *Gets up* There`s nothing good on TV, everything sucks…
Ako: Realy? I haven`t seen much TV lately… *Playing chess with Zappy*
Zappy: *Eats Ako`s bishop with his queen* PWNED
Ako: *Eats Zappy`s queen with a pawn* And what were you watching?
Zappy: WAT
Seras: Oh, y`know, that show about the dude who curses in open chat and gets jailed?
Ako: Oh yeah, and then he tries to escape, and fights the gold spammers and stuff! *Eats Zappys knight with another pawn*
Seras: Yeah, that one!
Ako: “Prison break”
Seras: Exactly *Points at Ako*
Ako: I like the one about the dude who`s really bad at questing and can`t even get to level 25 *Waits for Zappy to make a move*
Seras: You mean “24”?
Ako: Yup, yup…
Seras: It was good, until it reached its 17th season, then it went down. What do you watch on TV, Zap?
Zappy: Well… *Looking at the chess board* I love the comedy with the PKer who kills everyone and records videos, then brags about it in the forums, it`s awesome
Ako: Oh, “Charmed”!
Seras: Ah, yeah… well, at least that`s better than “Sabrina: The teenage mage” and “My favourite Harkan”, tch… pure [CENSORED]
Ako: Guys, you do realize these jokes are kinda lame, right?
Neo: *Standing behind them three* They`re not. Keep doing them
Ako: *Sigh* Okay, okay… *Moves her queen* Checkmate, Zap
Zappy: WAT *Looks at the board, then at Ako* HAX
Ako: Hahaha, we can play again, if you want!
Zappy: lol, k n00b
Seras: Let`s see what the others are doing… *Approaches Lenore, who`s at the coffee machine*
Lenore: Ah, Seras! It`s odd seeing you around here, y`know, doing nothing…
Seras: Yeah, I`m usually working my [CENSORED] off cleaning the mess you guys make, huh?
Lenore: I… I didn`t mean it that way…
Seras: That`s okay, what were you doing?
Lenore: Well… *Sips coffee* I wanted to watch some videos, but Neo`s using the laptop *Points at Neo*
Seras: What kind of videos?
Lenore: Well, I like to be updated on my gross stuff… y`know, there`s this new one, about a guy and a chainsaw, right? So the guy takes out his…
Seras: That`s enough *Looks at Neo* And what`s he doing?
Lenore: No idea… he`s prolly looking at the forums or something… let`s go see, heh *They both approach Neo, who`s very focused in the screen* Hey, Neo! Whatcha doin`?
Neo: *Startled* WAHHH…!! *Turns around and covers the screen with his arms* Don`t look…!!
Lenore: *Looks somewhere else* Oh, come on, this is getting old…
Seras: I can`t believe you`re watching THAT stuff in the middle of the bridge, hmph…
Neo: Tch, for your information, I am not watching anything, okay?
Seras: Fine, then what are you doing? And why can`t we see?
Neo: I`m making a videogame
Lenore: A videogame, huh? What type of videogame?
Neo: A… well… a dating sim
Lenore: Ohhh… I see… one of those, huh? *Smiles* And you`re making it?
Neo: Y… yeah… hahah…
Seras: That`s interesting, I didn`t know you could do that stuff… let us see
Neo: N… no, no, I really can`t… *Keeps hands over the screen*
Seras: Oh, c`mon! I bet it can`t be THAT bad…! *Tries to take Neo away*
Neo: Really, you don`t wanna see…! No, don`t…!
Seras: C`mon, c`mon, let us see…! *With brute force, manages to throw Neo away from the laptop*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Serashentai2.jpg

Lenore: Oh my… *Opens eyes wide*
Seras: WHAT IN [CENSORED]`S NAME IS THIS [CENSORED]!!!
Neo: I told you not to look…!!
Seras: *Enraged* Listen to me you [CENSORED] [CENSORED], tell me NOW what that [CENSORED] is all about! *Grabs Neo by the neck*
Neo: It`s… agh… advertising for the Apoliner… ungh…
Seras: Advertising? You created an eroge to advertise our cause…?!
Neo: Y… yeah… argh… I thought… what would make me join… and… urgh… I thought about… a dating sim… please… youre hurting me…
Seras: Damn right I`m gonna hurt you…!! *Lifts him*
Lenore: Hey… *Flicking through the pictures in the game* These are pretty good…
Seras: *Looks at Lenore* What…?
Lenore: No, I mean… *Trying to explain* they`re… you know… pretty good… in an… ummm… artistic sense?
Seras: Huh…?
Lenore: And, ummm… *Keeps flicking through the pics* We`re all here, all the girls…
Seras: *Looks back at Neo, who was lacking air* You filthy pervert, how did you get all those…?!
Neo: I… well, I… can`t… breathe…
Seras: Answer me…!!
Neo: Okay, I… ummm…
Kokoro: *Suddenly spins away from her radar panel* Attention everyone, there`s an approaching object…!!
Seras: Tch… *Releases Neo* You got lucky, punk…
Neo: *Breathes deeply* Ahhhh… good, good…
Kokoro: It`s also pretty fast…!
Neo: *Walks to Kokoro and the radars, everyone stops what they`re doing and pays attention* Kokoro, what`s going on…?
Kokoro: Look… *Points at an approaching spot in the radar* There`s something coming right at us, I noticed it as soon as it came into range, but it`s closing in really quickly
Neo: What is it? A meteor?
Kokoro: I can`t really tell what it is, but I`m guessing its another ship…
Lenore: The Dark Darkness, maybe?
Juneau: What, you mean those two are back?
Atoli: Well, the girl with the big sword did say they were gonna strike back…
Neo: Yeah, I think it`s probably them… *Sigh* Not them again…
Kokoro: *Glances at the radar* Still getting closer!
Lenore: We need to do something
Neo: This time we`ll get the first shot! *Clenches fist* We`re going directly at them! *Points at the window* Let`s get the N.O.O.B.s!
Ako: Oh yeah! That`s a good idea…!
Atoli: *Confused* Um, what`s a N.O.O.B.?
Ako: It stands for Naturally Offensive Operative Bots, our personal airships, you could say… heh, we finally get the chance to try them… *Evil smile*
Neo: Aha. Of course I`m going, I wouldn`t miss this chance… I need two more people to come with me… hmmm… *Starts looking at the members of the crew*
Ako: I`m going
Neo: Wait Ako, I haven`t decided yet…
Ako: *Grips the handle of her axe* Yeah, you still need to decide on one, because you chose me
Neo: Yeah. That`s right. You`re coming. Aaaand… who else… *Points a finger at them, the camera follows the finger as Neo tries to decide* Umm… *Finger stops at Attila* Ummm… *Finger moves a bit upwards* Zappy, you`re coming
Zappy: k
Neo: Mystra, can you get our N.O.O.B.s ready?
Mystra: No problem, they`ll be in the deck in no time
Kokoro: Quick, we don`t have much time…!
Mystra: I`ll do it as fast as I can, tch… *Smiles and then rushes to the N.O.O.B. storage*
Lenore: *Watches Mystra as she goes* It`s good to have a mecha specialist among us. She even was in the SDF-1 and all…

- Air

Next thing you know, Neo, Ako and Zappy are inside their respective N.O.O.B.s flying over the Apoliner, ready for battle!

Neo: *Sitting in the pilot`s seat* What the heck…?! How come Zappy has that type of N.O.O.B.?!
Zappy: *Inside his N.O.O.B.* lol cool huh?
Neo: Cool?! It`s figgin` awesome! Seriously, how did you get that…?!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Shinyrayquaza.jpg

Zappy: l33tl-l4X lol
Neo: Hahaha, man… *A screen appears near Neo`s head, Mystra appears on it*
Mystra: Zappy`s N.O.O.B. is the Shiny Rayquaza model, it was kinda hidden among all the other ones, that`s why nobody saw it before…
Neo: What? How can that thing be hidden? It`s enormous…!!
Mystra: Yes, it is in fact, much larger than yours and Ako`s mechas, but please, don`t be daunted by that, every N.O.O.B. has different strengths and weaknesses
Neo: That`s okay, I`m just saying its huge and it looks wicked cool
Zappy: LOLOLOLOLOL
Kokoro: *Appears on another screen* Please, hurry up! The unidentified object is getting even closer!
Neo: Right, right, I got it…
Ako: *Appears on another screen, cluttering the view* What, we get to appear in little screens in each other`s mecha, just like in animes? Suh-weet!
Neo: Guys, I can`t see anything…!
Zappy: *Appears on another screen* LOLOLOLOLOL
Misato: *On a new screen* Shinji, center the target and shoot! *Looks around* [CENSORED], wrong mecha *Dissappears*
Mystra: The screen is a very useful feature, but not this way… it needs to be…
Kokoro: C`mon guys!
Neo: Argh, let`s go already…!! *Neo speeds towards the approaching object, followed by Ako and Zappy*
Ako: There we go… I see it!
Kokoro: *Screen appears in Ako`s mecha* What is it?
Ako: It`s another battleship, but it isn’t the Dark Darkness, it`s different… and not dark at all…
Kokoro: What? So it’s a new ship?
Zappy: *Gets his weapons ready* Do I charge my laser?
Lenore: *On a new screen* Not yet, Zappy. Can you guys send a message? Or just… land on it? I mean, we don`t wanna attack first, remember we`re good guys and all…
Neo: Yeah, you`re right… Ako, your N.O.O.B. looks friendlier than ours, you should go first
Ako: My N.O.O.B.?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Totoro.gif

Mystra: *Yet again on a screen on Neo`s cabin* Don`t be fooled by Ako`s N.O.O.B.`s looks. The TN-Totoro, unlike your Papillion, has an amazing amount of close range weapons that go from chainsaws to hammers and giant spikes…
Neo: Oh… really?
Ako: Haha, amazing…!! *Looks at all the buttons and levers in front of him* I gotta see for myself… *Grabs one of the levers and pushes it* GO…!! *The Totoro`s belly opens and a huge circular saw comes out, spinning at top speed, almost cutting Zappy`s mecha into two*
Zappy: What the…?!
Ako: WHOA…!! *Can`t control it*
Neo: Watch out, man…!
Ako: Yeah, yeah…! *With difficulty, pulls the lever back, the saw goes into Totoro`s belly, which closes* Gosh, sorry… but that was awesome
Kokoro: *On her screen* G… guys, I sense something on that ship…
Neo: Something…? What do you mean…?
Kokoro: Well, it`s… *Suddenly, something blasts off from the deck of the new ship and flies towards them at supersonic speed*
Ako: Huh…?!
Kokoro: W… watch out…!!! *The object passes through them, they manage to avoid it by a fraction of a second*
Neo: Holy [CENSORED]!! *Grips the controls of his mecha while breathing heavily*
Zappy: What the heck was that…?! *The speedy object stops right in front of them*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/z-01.jpg

Ako: Is… is that a N.O.O.B.?
Kokoro: I… I don`t know… umm…
Mystra: *Her screen appears over Koko`s* It`s not exactly a N.O.O.B., even though it looks similar… I can tell from here the technology used on that robot is superior
Neo: Well, it sure looks a lot more like a robot than ours…
Zappy: It`s… not doing anything… *The robot was standing idle in front of them*
Neo: No… *Suddenly, a new screen appears in his cabin, and a black haired girl appears on it*
Girl: Prepare to be vanquished, evil players!
Zappy: WAT
Neo: Oh, no! No, no, no, no! *Waves hands frantically* You`ve got us all wrong, we`re not evil players!
Girl: Yeah right, oldest trick in the book, I won`t fall for that! *Points*
Zappy: Who are you, anyway? And how do we know you`re not an evil player yourself?
Girl: Hmph, me?! Tch, what a nerve… I`m Spinaury, captain of the Subspace Emissary!
Neo: The Subspace Emissary…
Ako: Must be the name of the ship
Aury: No duh, Sherlock… not that it makes you any good knowing it, since you`re about to be eliminated! *Grips her controls*
Seph: *Appears on a screen in Aury`s cabin* Aury, maybe they`re right…
Aury: Oh come on, Sephorion! Don`t fall for their tricks, didn`t you see what they were doing…?!
Athemis: *On another screen, beside Seph* No, really Aury, I don`t think they`re evil…
Aury: Call me Spinaury in front of the enemy! And argh, why don`t you guys let me do this…?!
Neo: Ummm… what should we do?
Ako: I don`t know… maybe we should explain about the Sky Fortress…
Aury: *Opens eyes wide* The Sky Fortress…?! *Glares* I knew you were the bad guys… you`re going down…!! *Pushes the controls and lunges at them*

Chapter 18: Ultimate Alliance

No time for an explanation, truebelievers! In the previous episode, Neo, Ako and Zappy where attacked by a mysterious robot commanded by Captain Spinaury while on a scouting mission in their N.O.O.B.s… what`s going to happen now?! (Well, I guess there was time for an explanation…)

- Air

Aury: *Opens her eyes wide* Anatatachi wa… *Glares fiercely* Ore no teki da…! *Pushes the controls and lunges at them* Kuraeeeee…!!
Zappy: NANDA *Aury`s mecha hits Ako`s N.O.O.B. at top speed*
Ako: Ma… masaka… *Surprised*
Kokoro: *On the screen* Shi… shikkari shiroo…!!
Aury: *Still going* Heh… kattaze…
Neo: *Ako`s mecha gets up* Daijyoubu ka, Ako?
Ako: Betsuni, betsuni… *Glares at Aury* Ima, ore no deban daaaa…!! *Rushes at her and presses one of the controls*
Neo: Ma… matte…!!
Ako: Tch, ore ni makasero…!! *A huge saw appears from the belly of Ako`s Totoro* Yaaaahh…! *Points, directing it at Aury* Hitogoroshi no Totoroooo---!!
Neo: Ako, yamero! *Flies in her direction*
Aury: *Dodges the saw* Osoi yo! *Dashes to Ako`s side and punches the N.O.O.B. hard, sending it flying* Anata no N.O.O.B. wa, muda da!
Ako: Aaaaaarrghhhh…!! *Loses her grip on the controls*
Neo: Tsk, chikushoooou…
Zappy: *Stands in front of Aury* ZA WARUDO *Extends his arms* Toki wo tomare! *Nothing happens* Huh…?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Za_warudo.jpg

Aury: Bakayarou…! *Kicks Zappy`s Rayquaza and sends him flying towards Ako*
Neo: *Flying over the other two* Kisama… *Glares at Aury* Bokutachi wa teki janai…!
Aury: Hah, usotsuki…
Neo: Hontou ni!
Aury: Anatatachi wa yowai desu ne…?

Oh, shoot!! Sorry guys, I forgot to put the subtitles on, my bad… *Grabs the remote control and points it at the screen* It should be good now…

Neo: I told you a thousand times, we`re not your enemies!
Aury: D`you have any idea how many others tried to pull that trick on me? It`s not gonna work…!! *Lunges again, this time at Neo*
Neo: *Dodges to the side* Really, now! We don`t wanna fight you…!
Aury: Heh, well, your friends surely think otherwise, huh? *Pulls out a giant rifle* I`ll teach you not to mess with me…
Neo: *Looks at the rifle* Oh dear…
Zappy: Double u tee eff…
Ako: Argh… *Gets up slowly in her cabin* What`s…? *Looks at the situation* Oh…
Aury: *Aims at them* This is my Lancelot`s VARIS particle rifle! Prepare to be…
Athemis: *On a screen in Aury`s cabin* Aury, don`t use that!
Aury: Silence, Arthemis, I`m taking my shot…
Seph: *Another screen* Aury, do not use the VARIS, its too risky
Athemis: And not worth it! They could be good guys, like us!
Aury: Shush, I can`t concentrate!!
Ako: Did she say Lancelot?
Neo: That must be the name of her N.O.O.B.
Aury: What? Did I hear N.O.O.B.? Puh-leease, they`re so out of date… my Lancelot is top-notch technology, he`s a L.E.E.T.
Zappy: A what?
Mystra: *Appears on a screen in their cabins* Oh, I see… so it`s a L.E.E.T.
Neo: Is that another type of robot, Mys?
Mystra: That`s right, it stands for Luminous Engine Elite Transformer, they`re actually brand new, I wonder how she was able to get her hands on one of them…
Ako: Well, our Naturally Offensive Operative Bots are certainly no match for it
Mystra: That`s because N.O.O.B.s are actually… kinda old… really old
Neo: What, really? *Looks at the screen*
Mystra: Yes, actually, where I come from, the SDF-1, N.O.O.B.s are no longer used, the Veritech I used to pilot was a L.E.E.T.
Ako: You used to pilot one of those? *Points at the Lancelot*
Mystra: Yes, I couldn`t identify it at first glance since its one of the latest models… I`m sorry
Neo: Th… that`s okay, but now I`m kinda nervous…
Kokoro: *On a new screen* Don`t worry guys, fight hard! I know you can do it!
Zappy: Oh, so we fight? I can charge my laser?
Aury: Enough talk!! *Aims again* The one who`ll charge her laser is gonna be me! VARIS rifle, shoot…!! *Aury shoots a ridiculously massive energy beam from her weapon*
Seph: No, dammit…!! Aury!
Athemis: Our ship is just behind them, you`re gonna blow us up!! *The rifle`s beam was indeed, directed at the Space Emissary, behind our heroes*
Aury: *Opens her eyes wide* Oh, no…
Kokoro: *Screen* Incredible, if you dodge she`s gonna destroy her own ship!
Mystra: Hm, what a dilemma…
Neo: Okay guys, let`s show her!
Ako and Zappy: Yeah! *Nod*
Kokoro: Wh… what are you gonna do…? *The screen splits into three, Neo, Ako and Zappy appear in each section*
Neo, Ako and Zappy: KYOUDAI GATTAI…!!!

Immediately after pronouncing this, the three N.O.O.B.s start merging: In a split second, Zappy`s Rayquaza wraps itself twice around Ako`s Totoro and bites its own tail, becoming some sort of super belt. Neo`s Papillion grabs the Totoro by its back and sinks its legs there, turning into a winged backpack. The butterfly`s head lands over the Totoro`s eyes.

Aury: Wh… what is that…?
Mystra: Hm, interesting, how did they know how to do that?
Ako: This…
Zappy: Is…
Neo: THE RAYTOLLION…!! *Fireworks can be seen cracking behind the huge strange robot*
Kokoro: Whoa… *Looks at the radars* Guys, their ship!
Neo: We`re on it, we`re on it! *The Raytollion stands between the Subspace Emissary and the particle beam* Here we go!
Neo, Ako and Zappy: ANTI-TERROR FIELD---!! *The mecha extends its arms and wings, creating a spherical force field around itself*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/ATfield2.jpg

Ako: Here it comes! *The particle beam hits the force field, a huge shockwave is created by the clash of both forces* Arghh, we gotta hold our ground!
Zappy: Brace for epic *The beam slowly fades, without causing any harm* PWNED
Neo: Whoa… nice…
Mystra: *Screen* Good job guys, I`m impressed…
Aury: B… but… how… why?
Athemis: *Screen* Phew… saved
Seph: You owe this guys some serious apologies, Aury
Aury: But I… they… they said… *Releases the controls of her L.E.E.T.* Ahhh, damn… *A screen appears in her cabin with Neo`s face on it*
Neo: Now, can we have a nice quiet talk in our ship?

- Apoliner`s meeting room

Spinaury was sitting in one of the chairs facing the long table with a frustrated look on her face. Sephorion and Athemis were both standing at her sides, with serious apologetic looks on their faces too. Looks like the talk had already began…

Lenore: …okay, so, how did you get that ship again?
Aury: I told you, we found it…
Lenore: Yeah, yeah, but where did you find it?
Aury: On a hidden chamber in Echo Cave… I found it there after following a secret passage I discovered while mining
Neo: Whoa… *Sits* Now that sounds familiar…
Lenore: Incredible… and you had to use a key to make it move, right?
Aury: That`s right, it was a key I had found previously
Neo: Do you remember where?
Aury: I don`t know, it happened like a month ago…
Neo: Please, try to remember… this is very important, we might be able to find out where the heck did these ships and everything inside them come from
Ako: Because you, too, have no idea, right?
Seph: That`s right, we don`t know what it was doing there, or how it got there for that matter…
Athemis: What we do know, is that it serves the purpose of fighting the forces of evil… looks like you found that out, too
Nam: You two sound like you`re telling the same story, heh…
Aury: Yeah… it`s almost creepy
Crystal: So you just found the ships, figured out how to get them moving…
Ewoyn: And started kicking evil butt, with us…
Neo: Oh yeah, about that, you have a crew too?
Athemis: Oh yes, we do. They`re currently on standby while we`re here. I`m the ship`s Chief Weaponry Officer
Ako: Sweet, same as me! I see you guys use titles like us
Lenore: Yeah, we`re all a big bunch of freaks. So, you must be the tactical dude
Seph: Chief Tactical Officer
Lenore: That
Seph: Yes, that`s me. And Auryen here… *Aury glares at him* Or… Spinaury… like she likes to be called… ehem… is our Captain. She found the ship after all
Aury: Are you saying the only reason I`m Captain is because I found the ship?!
Seph: Um, no, no, of course not… I mean…
Neo: Hahaha, that`s ridiculous… that would be like saying that I`m Captain of this ship only because I found it, or something like that, hahaha~ *Looks at the others* Right?
Lenore: Ummm… *Looks away*
Ako: Haha… *Looks at the ceiling*
Ceri: Heh… yeah… *Walks around*
Attila: Ah, man… *Facepalm*
Ewoyn: Ridiculous, yeah… *Sweatdrop*
Neo: *Eyes watering* Oh my god…
Seras: *Enters, untidy as always, angry as always, exhibiting cleavage as always* Okay, I`m done fixing those [CENSORED] robots, they suck…
Neo: Oh, hi Seras… I`m glad you didn`t have to hear what just…
Seras: But I did hear. And yes, you suck as a Captain *Walks towards them*
Neo: AGH…!! *A symbolic arrow pierces his chest*
Mystra: *Lying aganst the wall* Oh, but what Seras just said is true
Neo: *Curled up in a ball on the floor, looks at Mystra* Mys, you too?!
Mystra: No, not that… the fact that our N.O.O.B.s suck… well, compared to your L.E.E.T.s… do you have any idea about this?
Athemis: Not really… the L.E.E.T.s were in the ship when we found it, we just… used them, heh…
Mystra: Just like with the N.O.O.B.s… so many similarities…
Lenore: Okay, so far we got that both ships were found underground, activated with a key these guys had found somewhere, used for the same thing… but the robots inside your ship, are better
Seph: It would seem so, yes
Mystra: What a mystery… basically, your ship is more modern, that means these two ships weren`t contemporary, despite the coincidences…
Seras: That`s true. And how come you guys are using it for the same thing as us?
Athemis: We were aware that something was going on… well, that`s not really hard to find out when players around you are becoming possessed and killing each other while sporting red eyes, but we knew that it was the work of some greater force, someone, or something
Seph: And we saw that thing in the sky…
Ako: And you figured that the cause of it all lied there, and decided to try and reach it…
Lenore: Just like us
Seras: Creepy. It`s like looking at a mirror
Auryen: *More frustrated than ever, her head lying on the table* Mhhyeah…
Ako: What`s up?
Seph: Oh, she`s just embarrassed. She did attack you guys out of the blue
Seras: Yeah, and she did also almost destroy your ship and everyone on it entirely *Lowers her face to look at Aury in the eyes* You screwed up, kiddo *Aury looks at her with “Ihateyoudie” eyes* But suck it up, live with it, and make up for it, tch… *Stands up*
Aury: Shhhaddup…
Athemis: Heh, I apologize in her name… *Smiles embarrassed* Our Captain is a little girl, haha…
Lenore: Oh, so is ours… *Points at Neo, who was kneeling at a corner with a flower in his hand*
Neo: They love me… they love me not… love me… love me not… love me… love me not… *Pulls out last petal* They love me not? *Looks at the flower* Well, [CENSORED] you, flower *Steps on the flower and pulls out a new one* They love me… they love me not…
Seph: We should probably go back for now, we need to report this to our crew
Athemis: Yeah… so… what are we going to do with this?
Lenore: Umm… *They look at the captains, who are both exhibiting their depressions*
Seras: HEY!! *Stomps the ground, the whole room trembles* You two!!
Neo and Aury: Y… yes!!
Seras: Your ships need you dammit, so pull your acts together and show some balls…!! *Auryen opens her mouth* And don’t you dare make a comment about how you don`t have any… *Glares fiercely at her, she closes her mouth*
Neo: Yeah, well… *Gets up*
Aury: Yeah, guess we should, you know…
Neo: Make an alliance, haha… wanna fight together with us against the evil force? *Extends his hand*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/mj2.jpg

Aury: Yeah *Takes it* Let`s do this *They shake hands*
Neo: Excellent…
Aury: And, once again, I`m so sorry about earlier… I didn`t mean to… argh…
Neo: Well, you could`ve been more careful, but I see you fight the evil players with a passion!
Aury: Yeah! I mean… I have my motives for hating them, but that`s not an excuse for what I did, I`m really sorry…
Neo: That`s okay. You have your motives? Please, do tell…
Seph: We really should be going, Aury, we can talk later and decide what our course of action will be
Athemis: Yeah, you know, how we`ll move and that stuff
Kokoro: Yes, I`m pretty sure the enemy will strike any time…
Aury: Okay then, let`s keep in touch 24/7… *They start walking towards the deck*
Neo: Aha! Heh… if there`s two ships, there`s no way the evil players can hold a candle to us! *Clenches his fist*

- Evil Sky Fortress

Far, far away, in the fortress, the Evil Lord was sitting alone in his chamber

Evil Lord: You really think so, Neoshaman? *Clenches his own fist* I may need to move a few more pawns but, we shall see…

Chronicles of the
GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 19: Sereno`s twisted show!

During our last chapter packed with mecha-action, our heroes in the Apoliner gained a powerful ally, the Subspace Emissary, a ship whose story seems to be almost identical to theirs… the evil forces have been on standby for some time

- Apoliner`s bridge

Everyone was at their positions, Lenore and Seras were talking as they watched the sky from the already famous giant window the ship has…
Seras: So, they decided we should move together towards the fortress?
Lenore: Yeah, I think the official term is… um… *Looks at something scribbled in her hand* “In tandem”
Seras: Aha, that`s what I expected… it was the simpler choice, really, but I don`t think we have time for more complex strategies…
Lenore: *Looks at Seras* Are you really only a mechanic?
Seras: H… huh?
Lenore: Well, you seem to know a lot about a lot of things sooo…
Seras: Tch… w-what are you talking about? Of course I`m a mechanic, that`s what I do!
Lenore: Yeah, I know, that`s not what I mean… you just… know a lot, heh
Seras: You`re saying I know too much?!
Lenore: I… I didn`t say “Too much”! I said a “A lot”!
Seras: Hmph… I`m just not useless like many others, I don`t need second explanations, and I`m determined to end this [CENSORED] *Looks at the sky again*
Lenore: Okay, okay, geez…

Ako was sitting at her panel, staring at the wall, bored. No weapons to operate
Ako: *Singing in a low voice* Let`s go to the spook house… Mou sude ni hajimatteru oh-my-honey…
Knivy: *Walks close* H… hey Ako!
Ako: Hey Knivy, what`s up?
Knivy: N… nothing much…
Ako: Same here… bored as hell…
Knivy: A… are you okay?
Ako: Yeah, I`m allright… why do you ask?
Knivy: W… well… I saw all you`ve been through in that battle with your N.O.O.B. and… well, I was a bit worried…
Ako: Oh, it was nothing, I wasn`t harmed, only the robot was
Knivy: W… what a relief, heh…
Ako: Wait, you were worried about me…?
Knivy: H… heh, yeah… I… I was… well I… I gotta go, seeya! *Speeds away*
Ako: What`s up with him…?

Meanwhile, Neo was sitting at a panel, talking with a headset on
Kokoro: *Steps away from her panel* Neo, I need you to see this…
Neo: Wait a second, wait a second… *Turns a dial* I`m communicating with the Subspace Emissary…
Kokoro: But…
Neo: *Turns another dial* Hello? This is the Apoliner, do you copy? *No response* Hmmm…
Kokoro: Okay, Neo…
Neo: Wait, wait… *Turns more dials* Subspace Emissary, do you copy? This is Neo, do you copy?
Aury: *Picks up her headset in her ship* Stop talking like that, you watched too many war movies…
Neo: Ah, there you are!
Aury: Yeah, I`m here, what`s up?
Neo: W… we`re supposed to say “Over” when we`re done talking…
Aury: Hah, you really did watch one too many war movies!
Neo: No I didn`t! I don`t like war movies at all… well, except for “Tropic thunder”, but…
Aury: Oh my gosh, I love that movie!
Neo: Really? Me too! It`s awesome, and, well, personally I`m a fan of Jack Black
Aury: He`s cool, I love Tenacious D too…!
Kokoro: Neo, please, I really need to…
Neo: *Turns around* Koko, can`t you see I`m having a very important conversation here?
Kokoro: Y… yeah… kinda… but…
Aury: Hey Neo, shouldn`t we be talking about, you know, strategies and that stuff?
Neo: Oh, well, yeah… I guess we should… but we already decided what we were gonna do, right?
Aury: We`re gonna move in tandem towards the Sky Fortress, keeping a good distance between ourselves in order to avoid being spotted together
Neo: That`s right, but we`ll keep in touch constantly in order to be alerted if anything happens to the other ship, so that we can send help
Aury: Exactly
Neo: Don`t worry Aury, I`ve already told you, two ships are more than enough to deal with the evil dudes!
Aury: You think…?
Neo: Yeah! I mean, if they had enough strength in order to take two ships, we would`ve died already, don`t you think?
Aury: I guess you have a point, I just don`t wanna overlook anything…
Neo: Oh, don`t worry… if any of us gets in trouble, we`ll let the other know so that we can help each other
Aury: Aha…
Neo: That being said, we just have to keep going and when we reach the fortress, BAM! We storm in and end everything!
Aury: Gee, you have it all planned out, huh? *Sarcastic*
Neo: Well, modestly…
Aury: That`s an extremely childish and dangerous way of looking at it, we can get ourselves easily killed by following that
Neo: Urgh… well… um…
Aury: But somehow I like it… I like how you run that ship
Neo: *Thinks* Oh my god, is she flirting with me?
Aury: Oh my god, am I flirting with you?
Neo: *Thinks* OH MY GOD, is she psychic?!
Aury: A… anyway, I think we shoul- *Communication is cut off*
Neo: Aury? Aury, are you there…? *No response* Spinaury, answer! *Hits the panel and talks to it* Dammit! Don`t do this to me, man! Don`t do this to me!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Neoargh.jpg

Lenore: *Walks up to him* Neo! What`s going on?!
Neo: This [CENSORED] won`t work! *Kicks the panel hard* Come on, man!!
Lenore: Calm down, dammit! What were you doing?
Neo: I was talking with the Subspace Emissary, but I got cut off…
Kokoro: Neo, now can you…?
Seras: *Gets closer* You mean it won`t work?
Neo: That`s what I said, tch… we can`t communicate
Seras: Well, chill… its probably easy to fix… *Examines the panel* If you hadn`t gone berserk on it, that is… *Sigh*
Neo: W… well, it`s HIS fault! *Points at the panel* We were going over important things, and… *Suddenly, the entire ship shakes* W… whoa…!!
Ako: *Gets up from her panel and speaks with the voice of a Genoma Soldier* What was that noise?
Juneau: Whatever it was, it came from outside…!
Lenore: We should hurry!

- Apoliner`s deck

At the deck, the crew found that a huge whole new ship was floating right in front of them, and had used a weird crane to get a hold of the Apoliner. There were some people standing on a balcony in the ship, facing them, you didn`t have to be very smart to identify them as evil players…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/ssbb_20.jpg

Zappy: WAT
Neo: Exactly, what?! *Points at the crane with both hands* Wha…?! How…?! They`re [CENSORED] grabbing our ship!!
Ako: Th… that`s what it looks like…
Neo: How the heck didn`t we see this coming…?! Why didn`t anyone tell me?!
Kokoro: *From the bridge, on the loudspeaker* Well, I tried to!!
Neo: But you could`ve just said that there was an enormous enemy ship nearby!
Kokoro: N… no, that`s the thing… it didn`t show up as a huge enemy ship in my radar…
Lenore: It didn`t?
Sereno: *From the balcony* Ahhh, I see that our stealth drive is working properly~!
Ceri: Stealth drive?
Kokoro: So THAT`S why it showed their ship as something unimportant…
Sereno: And you idiots didn`t even bother checking, so, there ya go~! Sur-prise-a-ttack~! *A fighter and an archer were standing beside Sereno*
Fury: *The fighter* I can`t believe it actually worked… *Shakes head in pity*
Sereno: Oh! And don`t even bother calling your new friends from the other ship, my dears~! They won`t be coming to play today, we already cut any type of communication you may have, this ship is now a deserted island~!
Neo: Oh boy am I gonna be lectured after this…
Ako: *Steps forward* Who the hell are you guys anyway…?!
Sereno: My, my, where are my manners? *Jumps and lands on the Apoliner`s deck* Even if I had forgotten to introduce myself, that`s no way to address me~ *Smiles and snaps his fingers*
Ako: *Is blasted by an invisible force* Waaaaaaaarghh…!! *Crashes against the ship`s border* Awgh…
Sereno: My name is Sereno~! *Bows a little* I`m one of the generals serving his highness the Evil Lord~
Crystal: Okay, so you ARE a dude
Nam: Yeah, I was wondering the same thing
Ewoyn: Yup, me too
Juneau: Same here
Knivy: I couldn`t tell from his voice
Atoli: I couldn`t either
Sereno: Silence!! *Everyone shuts up* I didn`t get to present my helpers~
Razmiran: *The archer steps forward* Helpers?
Fury: Um… Sereno, you do know that we have the same title, right?
Sereno: Details, details~ Now that everyone`s been presented, shall we begin?
Fury: Yeah… *The crane lets go of the Apoliner*
Neo: B… begin? What?
Sereno: *Looks at Fury and Razmiran, serious now* You know what you have to do, right?
Razmiran: Yeah, yeah… we just have to fly to the other ship and put it out of order
Sereno: That`s right *Glares* You know I could and I would take on both ships by myself, but the Lord wanted us to do this simultaneously, that`s why you two have been assigned this mission…
Fury: *Sigh* We know, we know… geez…
Sereno: Do not make any mistakes… don`t screw this up
Razmiran: Wow Sereno, shut up already, we got this… *Fury gets inside as Razmiran looks at Neo in the eyes* See you guys later… *Gets inside the ship, which moves away*
Sereno: No you won`t, because I`m going to finish them all…!! *Throws a fit*
Neo: *Opens eyes wide* Th… that was…
Lenore: Hm?
Neo: The archer there… he was… my brother
Crystal: Huh?! *Opens her eyes wide*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/naruto_itachi0025_t.jpg

Crystal: Y… your older brother?
Neo: No, my younger brother
Crystal: Aw…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/itachiNOT.jpg

Neo: Wh... what was he doing there...?
Sereno: Well, we finally get some time alone, huh? *Smirks*
Ewoyn: You mean you`re gonna take all of us on by yourself…?
Nam: Heh… *Prepares his axe* Be my guest…
Sereno: Well, I certainly can take you all by myself, yeah… its not like I need any help, but I am feeling a bit lonely… so! *Snaps his fingers and a cloud of dust appears behind him*
Seras: What the…?! *The dust fades and we can see a line of guys wearing nothing but speedos standing behind Sereno*
Zappy: I know I`ve said this before, but… WAT
Crystal: Oh my gosh… what… what`s with the speedos?!
Nam: And check out what`s he`s wearing too… that blue valentine`s suit…
Ceri: I think it`s cute… but not on him
Ewoyn: Well, not that it matters, but this obviously means he…
Juneau: Yup, that he…
Crystal: Indeed, he…
Sereno: Aren`t my subordinates lovely? I chose their outfits myself~!
Neo: Yeah, we could tell…
Ako: Well, there aren`t that many of them, I`m sure we can still do it! *Puts her axe in position* Let`s go!
Sereno: Hold it right there, lassie… *Takes out something from his pocket* You know what this is…?
Ako: It’s a trigger
Sereno: Yeees…
Ako: And it has a button…
Sereno: That`s right, well done! There is indeed a button, and if I press it… *Holds his finger right over the button, playfully* The entire ship will blow up! Isn`t that great~?
Neo: *Shocked* The ship will blow up?!
Seras: A bomb
Sereno: Aha! I`m sure you guys won`t believe it, but I planted a bomb on the ship~! *Everyone freezes*
Lenore: I… don`t… believe it…
Sereno: See? I told you~!
Juneau: But then…
Sereno: Any suspicious movement from you guys, and I`ll make this ship go kaboom, I swear~
Neo: If you blow the ship up, you`ll be killing yourself too, you know…
Sereno: The reasons why I do not care about that are none of your business, Neo. Please, don`t mistake me by some dumb bad guy…
Nam: What are you gonna do then…? I mean…
Sereno: Well, to be honest… I wanna have some fun… my mission`s objective is your total extermination, yes, and I`m not gonna fool around, now… but we also have to destroy both ships at the same time…
Neo: Huh?
Lenore: That`s sick, why?
Sereno: Orders from above, my dear… however, I`m not an ordinary general… *Walks around* I`m the one who`s closer to the Evil Lord, and he trusts me more than anyone~ I cannot afford to let him down~
Ewoyn: So… you`re waiting?
Sereno: Yup, until I get confirmation from the others in the Black Blackness… oh, that`s the ship you just saw… well, until I get that confirmation, I`ll just have to… *Grins* Play with you…
Knivy: Heh, play with us? I don`t get it, why would he want to do this…?
Nam: I don`t know, maybe he wants to do something to us…
Knivy: Tsk, and besides killing, what would he want to do to us?
Nam: Well… umm… *Points to the bulge between Sereno`s legs*
Knivy: *Opens eyes like, REAL wide* [CENSORED]
Sereno: Allright, to make sure nobody misbehaves… speedos!!
Guys behind Sereno: Yes!!
Sereno: *Points at the Apoliner`s crew* Seize them…!! *The guys in speedos dash forward and grab everyone*
Nam: Argh, no, dude, keep your hands off there…!! *Tries to resist, but its futile*
Knivy: I… I don`t wanna be seized by naked dudes! *Cries*
Neo: Tch… you won`t have it your way, Sereno! *Is seized too, then he turns around and speaks to the girls* I don`t see YOU girls complaining!!
Lenore: *Lifts her head* What? Oh… yeah, right… umm… *Fakes* No…. please… don`t grab me
Juneau: Yeah… please… sexy guys in speedos… um… please, don`t seize me and rub your bodies against mine…
Neo: *Turns and faces Sereno* Tsk, unbelievable…
Sereno: Let`s have some fun now, shall we~? *Snaps fingers and his staff appears in his hand*

Chapter 20: Gender confusion

My dear readers, did you see? The evil Sereno captured the entire tripulation of our favourite ship with his gang of speedo servants! And that`s not where the bad news end: The Black Blackness was headed towards the Subspace Emissary, with two evil players we have yet to get to know…

- Subspace Emissary`s bridge

Aury: So? Any progress…?
Magi: *Kneeling behind the communication panel* Everything seems to be in order…
Aury: *Walking up and down the bridge* That can`t be, that can`t be…
Magi: No, really, everything`s connected, nothing`s broken…
Aury: Then why can`t I contact the Apoliner, dammit! *Stomps*
Seph: Calm down, Aury… maybe they are the ones who are having a problem
Athemis: Yeah, they`re probably trying to fix it as we speak… they`ll try to contact us soon, remember their mechanic looked skilled
Seph: Oh yeah… *Stares into the air* She looked skilled… *Nods slowly*

Seras: *In the Apoliner, being held in place by a speedo dude* AT-CHOOOO…!!! *Cleans nose* What the hell…?!

Seph: Oh yeah… *Keeps nodding*
Athemis: *Smacks the back of his head* Sephorion!!
Seph: Oww… what`d you have to do that for? I`m not Brock, geez…
Aury: *Trying to make contact* Still no response… I have a bad feeling about this…
Magi: *Gets up* Well, there`s nothing wrong over here, that`s for sure… chill, Aury, it`s probably like when two people can`t talk on MSN…
Aury: I get nervous enough during those times, thank you… *Keeps walking up and down*
Athemis: What d`you think it is, then?
Aury: I don`t know… I just know something`s wrong somewhere…
Naimh: *Calls them from her panel* Well… maybe here
Seph: Hm? *They all walk up to Naimh* What`s up, radar girl?
Naimh: Look here… *Points to a little object in the radar* It`s getting closer…
Magi: B… but… it`s small
Aury: Yeah, it`s definitely small
Naimh: I know, haha… but you told me to inform you of any abnormalities in the radar
Aury: Aha, we need to be extra cautious… *Squints the radar readings*
Seph: Yeah, I don`t think that poses a threat, it`s probably a bird or something
Athemis: Well… I`ve never seen a bird in Isya that could fly. However, I also think it`s not something dangerous
Aury: Still, it`s suspicious…
Seph: Oh, come on, Aury… *Puts a hand on her shoulder* When a large ship gets near, we`ll get alarmed, but I`m sure that thing right there *Points at the dot in the radar* is nothing to worry about…

- Subspace Emissary`s deck

Following scene, Aury and the others are on the deck watching the enormous Black Blackness grab their ship with its crane
Seph: Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffu[CENSORED]…
Aury: Shoot, I knew it…!! *The balcony of the evil ship opens, Fury and Razmiran come out*
Fury: Hah-hah-hah-hah-haaaah…!! Our stealth drive did it again!
Naimh: Oh, I see… a stealth drive, interesting…
Athemis: *Looks at Seph* Good job, genious
Seph: H… hey, you backed me up!
Razmiran: Okay guys, enough talking…
Fury: Yeah, yeah, don`t even think about pulling that joke in which you talk between yourselves and pretend the bad guys who just showed up don`t exist… *Gets axe ready* Because that [CENSORED] me off!!
Razmiran: Easy, easy, Fury… you know why we`re here…
Magi: Wh… what do we do…? *Looks at Aury, who was glaring at them furiously* A… Aury…?
Razmiran: And you… *Turns to the crew of the emissary* You know why we`re here too, don`t you?
Aury: You… *Her breathing was getting heavier*
Razmiran: We`re here to take your ship and kill you all, that`s what we`re here for… *Presses a button on the side of the balcony and two ladders come out of the ship, evil players start flooding the emissary*
Seph: Argh, dammit… there`re hundreds of them…
Razmiran: We have more people than you, and more power, if I dare say so myself… also, communication with the Apoliner has been cut off, both ships are incomunicated right now
Fury: Please, don`t make this harder for us and for yourselves and surrender quietly…
Aury: *Steps forward* We will NEVER surrender to you, evil scum…!!
Fury: Whoa, whoa, whoa… you`ve got a big mouth, haven`t you? I noticed how you were looking at us… the hate on those eyes… *Auryen keeps glaring at them, her eyes were lasers* Those eyes… I don`t like those eyes…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/gatomonX.jpg

Razmiran: Heh, they sure are full of rancor… *Shrugs* What did we ever do to you, hm?
Aury: You… *Can`t contain herself* You took away my best friend…!!
Seph: *Opens eyes wide* A… Auryen…
Athemis: Oh dear… Aury, no, don`t…
Aury: You took her from my side…!! You took her away from me…!! *Tears start forming in her eyes*
Razmiran: Tch, getting a little emotional, huh?
Fury: Baby, we took a lot of people away from a lot of people`s sides, don`t go around thinking your important or special in any way…
Naimh: How… how can you say that…?!
Aury: You… you…
Razmiran: Let`s wrap this up, Fury
Fury: Agreed *They jump from the ship to the deck*
Athemis: Tch… *Looks around, but they`re surrounded* No way out…
Razmiran: So… *Takes out a couple of handcuffs*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/handcuffs_pink.jpg

Razmiran: Shoot, not those. Sereno left his stuff lying around… *Throws them away and takes out another set*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Handcuffs-Blue.jpg

Razmiran: There, now… what`s it gonna be? The easy way, or the hard way…?
Seph: Haven`t you heard?! We will nev--!!
Aury: The easy way
Seph: WAT *Shakes head* I mean: What?
Fury: Ah, good, I see you have a reasonable captain who knows how to swallow her pride…
Magi: *In a low voice* Aury, but…!
Aury: *Doesn`t take her eyes from the evil dudes* It`s fine
Razmiran: The rancour`s still there, though… hahaha, this is fun… *Calls one of the evil players* Hey, you!
Evil cleric: Yes, sir!
Razmiran: *Gives him the handcuffs* Make sure they`re tight… I don`t want any breakouts…
Evil cleric: Right away, sir!
Razmiran: Good, now we must call…
Evil cleric: Excuse me, sir!
Razmiran: Yes?
Evil cleric: Sir, can I do the handcuffing thing with my partners so that, you know, we do it faster?
Razmiran: *Sigh* Yes… yes, you can
Evil cleric: Thanks, sir! Because, you know, sir, if I did it without permission, maybe you flipped out and killed me for nothing, I know how evil superiors are, sir, and let me tell you that being a henchman isn`t an easy job, sir, you can get killed for doing even the tinieARGH!!! *Fury cuts him in half with his axe*
Fury: *Talks to a nearby mage* Here, you do it
Evil mage: Y… yes, sir… *Takes the handcuffs*
Razmiran: As I was saying… I gotta call Sereno… *Notices the crew looking at him* Oh, he`s the one who`s gonna blow the Apoliner up, you know… *Takes out his purple whisphone*
Aury: Blow the Apoliner up…?
Fury: Yeah, the Evil Lord wants both ships exploding at the same time *Shrugs* He must have his reasons…
Naimh: Then that means…
Aury: They can handle it
Fury: Pffft, yeah, damn right they can, hahahaha…!!
Razmiran: *Waiting with the phone in his ear* Come oooon, Sereno you creep, pick up… Hey Fury, take them inside somewhere, lock them up so we can blast them with the ship
Fury: Oh yeah, we needed to do that… allright then, let`s get going *Pushes the crew, then turns around and points to a couple of evil players* You, you, you, you, you, and you, follow me as well…
Evil players: Yes, sir! *Fury leads the crew into their own ship followed by the henchmen*
Seph: *Whispers* Aury, what are we gonna do…
Aury: *Whispers back* You`ll see…
Fury: I hear talking! *Pokes them with the handle of his axe*
Aury: Tch… I swear I will…
Fury: I still hear talking! *Keeps poking*
Aury: Okay, okay, I get it…!! *Walks faster*

Meanwhile, at the ship that gives this story its name…

- Apoliner`s deck

Sereno was sitting in front of the crew, each member was being immobilized by one of Sereno`s servants. A phone started to ring
Neo: *Struggling* D… darn, these guys are strong…
Lenore: *Seductive voice* Yeah… very strong… *Looks at the one holding her and winks*
Neo: Come on, Lenore! Don`t do this to me, man…!
Lenore: *Looks at Neo* What? *Cuddles* We`re screwed, we might as well enjoy ourselves…
Nam: Well, I`m not enjoying myself with this guy, that`s for sure… *The speedo dude holding him winks* We gotta do something, fast!
Sereno: Huhuhuh… this is very amusing… I don`t regret creating my speedo army for one second…
Speedo dude: *Standing behind Sereno* Umm… sir, your phone is ringing…
Sereno: *Extends his hand and shoots an energy blast that instantly kills the dude* I know, thanks… but I`m having too much fun, I don`t wanna pick up the phone and find out it all has to end…
Ewoyn: Whoa… he really is nuts…
Sereno: *Gets up* And we didn`t have proper fun yet, did we? I think it`s time we do some nasty things I have in mind… *Starts walking towards them*
Knivy: Oh man… oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man…
Nam: Not even in your wildest homoerotic fantasies!! *Tries desperately to free himself*
Zappy: *Does the same* FREEDOM PLZ
Ako: *Was trying too* Agh… it`s no use, its like they`re statues or something…
Crystal: Come on Ako, at least us girls get to enjoy the moment… *Isn`t struggling*
Ako: No way, I don`t like this, I`m…!
Ewoyn: *Speaking to Lenore and Crystal* Ako`s right, you should be ashamed of yourselves… we can`t surrender this fast *Keeps struggling*
Neo: Don`t try kicking them in the groin, I`ve already done it and it somehow doesn`t work… *Looks at the dude holding him* What ARE you?
Sereno: They`re my creations, and they`re perfect, you won`t be able to move them one inch, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho~ *Starts walking between them*
Ewoyn: I think I know what to do…
Neo: I told you Ewo, don`t kick them in the crotch
Ewoyn: Geez Neo, that`s not my plan, already…
Sereno: Ohhh, how cute, she thinks she has a plan… *Gets closer to Ewoyn and lowers his face, then speaks in a despective tone* How ridiculous… women… yuck, women like you have no idea how…

Suddenly, Ewoyn pulled her face up and kissed Sereno deeply. The speedo dude that was holding her, surprised, let go of her arms, which she placed in Sereno`s cheeks as she tightened the kiss. The evil general`s eyes were wide open in surprise, but he closed them in the last minute. Everyone else was staring at them, open mouthed…

Ewoyn: *Stops the kiss* NOW…!! *Kicks Sereno, throwing him across the deck*
Sereno: Aaaaaarghhh…!! *Crashes against the ship`s border*
Ewoyn: I`ve got you now… *Readies her bow in a split second and loads an arrow*
Sereno: N… no…!! *Quickly grabs his staff and points at Ewo* TRANSMOGRIFY…!! *Shoots a dark green beam that reaches her before she can shoot an arrow*
Ewoyn: Ah-aaaaaaaaarrgghhhhhhhh…!!! *Kneels in pain and starts glowing bright green, a cloud of smoke starts forming around her*
Crystal: Ewo…! *Looks at her speedo guy, whose guard was low, and punches him in the face, then escapes* Ewo, are you okay?
Ceri: Everyone, their guards are low! *Takes a kunai out and buries it in her speedo guy`s leg, who lets go of her*
Neo: H… huh? *Still staring at nothingness* O… oh, right! *Hits his guy with his elbow and runs towards the others*
Sereno: Ca… can`t be… *Places one of his hands in his lips* Kissed by a woman… this… this can`t be… *Gets up slowly*
Nam: *Already free* Tch, you didn`t like that. Yeah, I guess it was hell, huh? You…
Sereno: Of course I didn`t like it, I`m a girl…!!

Everyone fell silent and looked at Sereno

Zappy: WAT
Neo: A girl…?
Lenore: You`re… a girl?
Sereno: Of course I`m a girl, what the heck do you think I am?!
Knivy: B… but… you… look like a guy…
Sereno: Of course I do, idiot, ever heard of a girl playing a male character…?!
Nam: B… but…
Ako: Well, I guess a lot of things make sense now…
Zappy: You can`t be a girl, there are no girls on the internet
Sereno: Well, I`m pretty sure I`m a girl… anyone has a problem with that…?! *Holding his staff… well, her staff… no wait, the character`s still male, his… or her? Whatever, his/her staff*
Ako: Of course there`s no problem with that. I`m a guy

Everyone fell silent and looked at Ako

Knivy: WHAT?!
Neo: Ako, you`re a guy? *Surprised*
Ako: Yeah. What? Wait… wait, guys, don`t tell me you didn`t know…
Lenore: Well, I…
Neo: Umm… yeah… I…
Ako: I told you before!
Neo: I recall… you saying something on the matter, yeah…
Lenore: I guess… we had forgotten, hahaha… *Sweatdrop*
Knivy: Ako, ako, you`re a guy? A boy? A dude?
Ako: For the third time, yeah, I`m male. I just play a female character
Knivy: B… but… I… I had… this can`t be…
Ako: I… I thought everyone knew, hahahaha… is something wrong?
Neo: No! No. No, no. It just took us by surprise, there`s nothing wrong about it
Crystal: Heh, well, if Sereno`s a girl… she just kissed a girl, heheh… *Looks at Sereno`s horrified face*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/I_Kissed_a_Girl.png

Sereno: I… I did… dammit…
Juneau: And speaking about the girl she just kissed… what`s going on with Ewo…? *Ewo was still surrounded by smoke*
Nam: *Screams at Sereno* What did you do to her…?!
Sereno: *Smirks* You`ll see…

The smoke started to fade, but before it completely did, Ewoyn darted out of it and rushed towards Sereno. Only that, except for his clothes, she (She?) didn`t look like Ewoyn at all…

Chronicles of the
GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 21: Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

Whoa, the author sure was high when he wrote the last episode… I mean! Hello, dear readers! On the last chapter, um… well, we had a lot of surprises! The crew found out Sereno`s really a girl playing a male character, and Ewoyn had to pay the price for saving them all from the speedo gang. Apparently, after provoking Sereno`s wrath, he is now…

- Apoliner`s deck

Kokoro: … a guy?
Ewoyn: *Dashes out of the smoke towards Sereno* Serenoooooo…!! *Loads an arrow*
Crystal: I can`t believe it… he really IS a guy now…
Nam: Well, she never was too feminine to begin with… *Everyone looks at him* … what? She wasn`t!
Sereno: Heheheh… *Looks carefully at Ewoyn running towards her* H… huh?
Ewoyn: Take this…!! *Shoots the arrow, but Sereno blocks it with magic* Tch…
Sereno: Haha! You`ll nev… *With blinding speed, Ewo practically teleports in front of Sereno* Wha…?!
Neo: Whoa, looks like he`s faster…
Nam: Makes sense, he`s a guy now *Every female looks at him* … what? He is! And it`s scientifically proved that… *Three hammers are thrown to his head at the same time*
Ewoyn: *Grabs Sereno by his shirt collar and speaks with a voice like Batman`s on The Dark Knight* WHADDIDYADOTOME?!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/F_0_christian-bale-batman_barfblog_.jpg

Sereno: E… excuse me…?
Ewoyn: WHADDIDYADOTOME?!
Sereno: I… I can`t understand you…
Ewoyn: WHADDYADOTOME?! WHADDYADOTOME?!
Sereno: No, really… I`m serious, I can`t understand you, I…
Ewoyn: Ehem… *Clears throat* What did you do to me…?!
Sereno: Oh, that… *Speaks in a seductive voice again* Well… let`s just say I… turned you into someone more… interesting? *Runs a hand down Ewo`s cheek*
Ewoyn: Gah! *Pushes Sereno backwards* Get away from me…!
Sereno: Oh, come on~! Hahahaha~! You didn`t kiss me for nothing, did you~?
Ewoyn: I did it for you to…!!
Sereno: *Interrupts* Excuses, excuses… heheh…
Ewoyn: You… you turned me… into… *Touches his chest* I… argh… *Falls on his knees* Urgh… *The rest of the crew runs near him*
Knivy: Ewo, are you okay?!
Juneau: Yeah, you shouldn`t move much, I mean, you just…
Ewoyn: I`m okay guys… *Gets up slowly* I`m fine, I just… *Keeps touching his body* I just have a…

Otacon: SNAKE! Snake, can you hear me? Snake! Snaaake!
Snake: *On the codec* Otacon, what the hell?!
Otacon: Oh, there you are…
Snake: Yeah, I`m here, but it looks like Ewo now has a…

Mother: WILLY! Where have you been all day?
Willy: *Enters the house* I`m sorry, mom… I was playing baseball with the kids on the sandlot
Mother: I told you not to play with those kids any more!
Willy: But they`re awesome, mom! Ewo even showed us her new…

Ash: FURRET! I choose you! *Throws pokeball*
Brock: Hah, normal type? Then I`ll go with my ONIX! *Throws another ball*
Ash: Whoa Brock, your Pokemon looks just like Ewo`s…

Neo: JOYSTICK. I need a Joystick to play Wii-ware games
Attendant: Oh, you mean the Classic Controller?
Neo: Yup, that one!
Attendant: Allright, that`ll be 50 dollars
Neo: Fifty dollars?! That`s expensive, but I have no idea of how I`m gonna link this to Ewo`s…

Museum guide: SHORT ARM. The Tyrannosaurus Rex had really short arms that were practically useless when hunting other dinosaurs…
Tourist: Whoa, those arms are really short *Takes a pic of the Dinosaur`s skeleton* But with that body, I`m sure even Ewo had a smaller…

Ako: BISHOP! I ate your bishop, Zappy… *Moves one of her chess pieces*
Zappy: WTH HAX
Ako: Hahaha, no, really… and I`m afraid it`s check mate, too…
Zappy: *Throws the chess board across the room* U BRUSH UR TEETH WITH EWO`S…

Neo: [CENSORED]!! I can`t believe this happened…
Ewoyn: No, really Neo… I`m allright… I can still fight
Neo: Are you sure? I mean, I`m still working on a health plan for you guys, but nothing`s been settled yet, so…
Lenore: Well, you better get that started, Neo!
Ewoyn: Guys, focus! We can`t let Sereno get away! *Points at Sereno*
Ako: Yeah, let`s get him…! *Readies her axe… once again*
Sereno: Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho~! What, you`re gonna come at me? I`m afraid you`ve forgotten about a little something… *Sinks his hand in his pocket* H… huh?
Ewoyn: Oh… you mean this? *Takes the detonator out of his own pocket*
Sereno: How the...?! Impossible!
Ewoyn: Heh, yeah… amazing the things you can do while kissing someone…
Neo: *Nods* Oh yeah… *Everyone looks at him* … what?
Seras: Excellent job, Ewo! Now we got him where we wanted!
Sereno: D… dammit…
Ako: Looks like you`ll have to fight in the end… heheh…
Sereno: Tch… *Clicks his fingers and the speedo gang is teleported behind him* Don`t kid yourselves, I can still take you on… *Loads energy in his hand*
Neo: *Readies his word* Let`s go…!! *The two forces clash*

FSSSSSHHHHHHHHHWIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG…!! *Final Fantasy pre-battle sound*

- Subspace Emissary`s deposit

Fury was taking the entire crew of the Subspace Emissary inside the deposit, in order to blow them up with the rest of the ship when Razmiran managed to talk to Sereno on the whisphone… and now what?
Fury: Okay, in you go, all of you…! *Pokes Aury`s back with the handle of his axe* You too!
Aury: I`m going in, geez…! *Walks in with the rest of the crew*
Athemis: *Whispers* I wonder what Aury`s trying to do…
Naimh: I hope it works… if it doesn`t, we`re all gonna die in here…
Seph: Meh, the whole situation sucks, the author even thought I was a dude on the previous chapter
Magi: Well, there were severe gender confusions on that chapter…
Neo: Yeah, and I mean, I thought you were a guy because the first thing that came to my mind when I read your name was…

http://www.caffeinenebula.com/quizzes/quizFiles/ff7/sephiroth.jpg

Seph: What are YOU doing here?
Neo: Huh…? I… *Looks around* Shhhhhhhoot! Goodbye! *Dissappears*
Seph: *Sigh* Anyway… I`m a girl and I hope Aury`s plan works…
Fury: *Walking around them* Okay… I see you all have your handcuffs on, excellent… *Stands beside the door with the henchmen he brought* Now I`m gonna go up there, and when we contact Sereno, we`ll be boarding the Black Blackness and making this ship go BOOM! Are you cool with that?
Aury: Tch…
Fury: Thought so… well, it was fun, goodbye… *Turns around and starts walking*
Aury: Goodbye, butt-face~
Fury: *Freezes* What…? *Turns around slowly* What did you just call me…?
Aury: Oh… me? Oh, I don`t know… I figured I might as well use butt-face instead of your real name because, you know, your face looks so much like a butt and stuff
Fury: *Unable to ignore her* Wh… what…? *Tightens the grip on his axe and slowly walks towards her* You didn`t mean that…
Aury: Oh, I kinda did… I mean, the resemblance is astonishing
Athemis: *Whispers* Wh… what in the world is she trying to do…?
Magi: I don`t know but whatever it is, we better let her do it…
Fury: Gh… *Stands right in front of Aury* I guess it makes no difference if I kill you right now…
Aury: I don`t know. Does it, butt-face?
Fury: That`s it, you`re DEAD…!! *Violently lifts his axe*
Aury: There it is! Heyyyyah--!! *Delivers a kick to Fury`s jaw*
Fury: Gaaahhhh…!! *Falls to the ground*
Aury: Seph, your cuffs! Quick!
Seph: H… huh? Oh… yeah *Extends both of her arms*
Aury: Heeyyyaah--!! *Shatters the handcuffs with a quick kick*
Seph: Whoo-hoo! *Grabs her hammer*
Aury: Take care of the others, I`ll repel the evil guys!
Seph: But, your cuffs…
Aury: I don`t need my hands. Go, fast!
Seph: Okay, okay…! *Turns around and begins hammering handcuffs*
Fury: *Gets up* Ungh… you… you [CENSORED] *To his henchmen* What are you waiting for?! Get her!! *Points at her*
Evil players: Yes sir…!! *They rush at Aury, whose hands were still handcuffed*
Aury: Heh, yeah, come in my range… *The players surround her* Shinkuuuu… *Jumps* TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU----!! *Starts spinning in the air with a kick*

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/shin_shoryuken/Ryu_TatsumakiSenpuuKyaku01.gif

Evil players: Aaaaarghhh…!! *They`re all thrown backwards*
Athemis: Oh yeah! *Seph breaks her handcuffs* Aury`s known for her amazing kicking techniques, she`ll be doing fine without her axe for a while!
Seph: Her axe? She doesn`t even need her arms! *Breaks Magi`s cuffs*
Fury: Come on, dammit! Go! *The evil players go again*
Aury: Oh, but my friends are not done yet… I still can`t let you pass! *Stands in front of the evil guys again* HYAKURETSU KYAKU--!! *Delivers a lightining-fast array of kicks*

http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/nariko04/chun-li.gif

Evil mage: Argh, not again…!! *Crashes against the wall*
Evil fighter: Why do we even keep trying?!
Evil cleric: That, my friends… is the life of a henchman *Gets up and runs at Aury to get hit again*
Naimh: Whoa… she really is the kicking demon…
Fury: Why the hell was I not informed about this “Kicking demon” nickname of hers?! I would`ve put some handcuffs on her legs for god`s sake! *Takes out his whisphone* Raz! Raz, we`re gonna need backup down here!
Razmiran: What happened?!
Fury: They retaliated and…!
Razmiran: You screwed up
Fury: Hmph… well! Hmph… well… maybe I did, but that`s not the point! Send all the help you can, right now! And also…
Aury: *Runs towards Fury and jumps* HI JUMP KICK!! *Knocks his whisphone and sends it flying away*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Pokemon_106Hitmonlee.png

Fury: D… damn you… *Lifts his axe again* You`re not getting away with this…
Seph: *Breaks the last pair of handcuffs* Aury, we`re good to go!
Magi: Not that you really need our help, haha… *Suddenly, evil players start flooding the deposit, and I mean flooding, a [CENSORED]load of them* Okay, I guess you do now…
Fury: Heh… good… now we`ve got the advantage…
Aury: Shoot… there are too many of them…
Fury: You shouldn`t have started this, Captain Spinaury… now I`ll really make you suffer
Aury: Yeah, looks like I`m in trouble now, aren`t I… *Smiles* butt-face?
Fury: Aaaarghhh…!! *Points his axe* GO!! KILL THEM ALL…!!
Athemis: *Battle stance* Everyone ready! *The two forces clash*

FSSSSSHHHHHHHHHWIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG…!! *Final Fantasy pre-battle sound*

- Apoliner`s deck

The battle between the Apoliner crew and Sereno`s speedo gang was reaching its climax. The speedo guys were strong above average, but were sadly outnumbered after Ewoyn`s incident…
Knivy: KNIFE SHOWER…!! *Throws knives to the sky that start falling like deadly rain over the last remaining speedo guy*
Speedo: Hmph! *Dashes to the side, avoiding the knives*
Atoli: *Appears in front of him* Hi! *Shoots an arrow that makes him dodge to the other side* He`s in position!
Speedo: Huh?! *A hand comes out of the ground and grabs his knee* What?! *Ceri`s voice can be heard*
Ceri: Oh, hi there…
Atoli: Yes!
Ceri: Doton! Shinjuu Zanshuu no jutsu!! *Pulls and buries the speedo guy completely, only his head sticking out of the deck*
Zappy: AWSM *Ceri appears beside the sprouting head*
Ceri: Good job! *High fives Atoli*
Neo: Heh! *Turns around and points* Only YOU are missing, Sereno!
Sereno: Or maybe you`re the ones missing! *Points her staff at them* DRAGON FLAME!!
Kokoro: *Points* SHELL!
Juneau: *Points* PROTECT! *A double spherical shield is formed between them and Sereno, stopping the Dragon Flame*
Sereno: Tch, dammit… dammit!
Lenore: Well, I guess you lose, Sereno…
Nam: Yeah, now I seriously think you won`t be able to beat us all…
Sereno: Well, I still have an ace up my sleeve!
Crystal: Here we go again…
Sereno: I really didn`t wanna use it, but I guess I have no choice now… it`s something very important trusted to me by my Lord… something even you won`t be able to resist… *Extends his hand and a small pulsating energy ball starts forming there, surrounded by evil energy*
Ako: Wh… what is that…?
Seras: It can`t be…
Sereno: The EXvil energy!! I`ll finally get a chance to use it! *Lifts the ball in the air, contemplating it* I will finally be invincible…!! *Suddenly, Kitone`s voice can be heard*
Kitone: We`ll be taking that, thank you…!!

Kitone falls from the sky with her sword and violently cuts Sereno vertically in half. Blood splatters everywhere as Sereno`s halves fall to the ground. Mrew lands beside Kitone…

Sereno: AAAAAAARGHHHHHH…!!!
Zappy: WAT
Neo: What the heck?!
Lenore: Kitone!?
Kitone: Heh… finally… I finally have it in my hands…!! *Grabs the EXvil energy and looks at it, just like Sereno*
Mrew: Aha… so that was the thing you wanted so much…
Kitone: *Looks at them* And now… stupid little buggers… I shall have my revenge! Behold, the power of the EXvil energy…!! *Kitone squishes the ball, black smoke comes out of it and Kitone swallows it all* Ghh…!!
Crystal: Oh my gosh…
Ewoyn: What`s up with her…?
Mrew: Kit… are you okay…?
Kitone: Ghhh… grrraaarghhh… *Starts wriggling in pain, her expression turns from angry to demented and her veins become visible* Aaaaarrghhhh…!! *Lifts her sword* I`LL KILL… YOU ALL…!! *Her voice was deep and terrorific now*
Mrew: Hey Kit, what the…!?
Kitone: YAAAAAARRRGHHH…!! *Kitone slashes Mrew`s head off in a split second. Tarantino-ish blood starts squirting from her neck*
Lenore: *Opens eyes wide* Holy [CENSORED]!!
Neo: She… killed her…
Ceri: That can`t… be right… I mean…
Seras: Watch out, she`s out of her mind!!
Kitone: WHO`S NEXT?!

Chapter 22: Battle without honor or humanity

Hell broke loose on the Apoliner after Sereno took out the EXvil energy given to him by the Evil Lord. After witnessing his and Mrew`s deaths in the hands of a now berserk and powered-up Kitone, our heroes in the Apoliner wonder what will they do to survive now…

- Apoliner`s deck

Kitone: WHO`S NEXT?! *Everyone starts slowly backing away*
Kokoro: She`s… a monster…
Neo: She… she killed Mrew *Looks at the screen and smiles* She did it, not me *Winks*
Lenore: Yeah, I… I can`t believe she did that…
Ako: Then again… *Keeps her eyes on Kitone* She doesn`t seem to be in full control of herself now, does she?
Kitone: Ghhh… grrrghhhhh… *Keeps looking at them, making weird noises*
Ceri: N… no she doesn`t… at all…
Kitone: RAAAAAARRRGHHH…!!! *Raises her sword and jumps high in the air*
Knivy: *Points at her and runs* Watch oooout…!! *Everyone runs away from the spot*
Kitone: GAAHHH…!! *Falls on the deck, slamming her sword on the floor and creating a shockwave*
Crystal: Waahh…!! *Is thrown backwards with the others* How the…?
Seras: *Looks at the shattered deck* Oh boy, am I gonna have work to do after this…
Juneau: Okay Neo, so what do we do?
Neo: What do we do? Well, we… heh… erm… we fight of course… *Weakly grips the handle of his sword*
Kitone: DIEEEEE…!! *Dashes towards Neo and slashes to the side*
Neo: Mamma mia…!! *Dodges by crouching*
Kitone: DIE, DIEEE…!! *Keeps slashing and Neo keeps dodging*
Juneau: I see…
Neo: Dodging is considered fighting!
Zappy: *Aims* L33t arrow…!! *Shoots an arrow that sinks in Kitone`s back, without having any effect* Uh-oh…
Kitone: GYAHAHAHA…!! *Keeps slashing like a mad… woman*
Neoshaman: Guys, I`m getting tired, mock her or something! But do it fa… *Kitone manages to cut his side* Ah, [CENSORED]!!
Nam: I`m coming…! *Runs beside Kitone* Hey Kit, your side-story sucks!!
Kitone: *Stops attacking Neo and turns to Nam* Ghhh…. Grrrrghhh…
Nam: Yeah, that`s it, it sucks, it`s horrible! *Readies his axe* Now come at me!
Kitone: I`LL KILL YOU…!! *Slashes downwards, but Nam parries with his axe*
Nam: Oh my gosh, she`s strong…! *Struggles* I… can`t… resist it…
Juneau: Hang in there! *Casts a blessing on Nam*
Nam: M… much better!

“Kingdom Quest: Kitone`s Ruthless Edge will begin in 10 seconds”

Nam: Guess I`ll be tanking then… *Smiles*
Ewoyn: Sounds good to me… I doubt the poison does any good on that beast, but I might as well try *Aims* Arrow of Rohan!! *Shoots an arrow with a dark green aura*
Zappy: *Keeps throwing arrows beside Ewo* I need the kill
Lenore: *Healing the tanks* What? No way, Zap, I need it too! And I`m closer to leveling than you!
Neo: *Hitting Kitone from behind* Zappy, join my party, we`re getting the kill!
Nam: Is Kitone`s AoE def. or magic def.?
Ako: *Hitting Kitone with Neo* Magic def., you have any scrolls?
Nam: No, I need one or I`m gonna die at this rate…
Lenore: I have some, but I`ll have to drop them for you to pick them up
Ako: Yeah, you can`t trade items on Kingdom Quests…
Nam: Allright!
Zappy: Party plz
Neo: What, you`re still not partied?
Zappy: Party plzzzzzzz
Neo: Okay, okay, I`m sending you an invite
Lenore: I sent you one a while ago…
Zappy: I`m not getting anything…
Neo: No? Damn…
Lenore: Zappy, you`re glitched. I can`t even see your HP correctly
Crystal: *Casting Frost Nova over Kitone* Relog quickly, Zappy!
Zappy: kk lol *Zappy disappears after 10 seconds*
Nam: I still need that scroll…
Lenore: What? But I already dropped it!
Nam: Well, I don`t have it, anyone picked it up?
Neo: Umm… *Checks inventory* Oops!
Lenore: Dammit, Neo!
Kitone: POWER UP!! *Releases a strange cloud of pink smoke*
Ceri: She`s restoring her health!
Knivy: Oh shoot… we gotta keep hitting her, come on!! *Uses Multi Shot*
Crystal: *Uses inferno* Hey guys, did we, like, have attacks with cooler names that were invented for this story?
Neo: Story? *Uses Power Hit* I don`t know what you`re talking about…
Crystal: Oh… well, never mind *Keeps casting magic*
Zappy: *Appears beside Ewo* kk back lol
Lenore: You took your time, man! *Sends an invite and Zappy joins* There we go!
Zappy: thx lol *Starts throwing arrows again*
Ewoyn: *Looks at the time* Let`s keep at it guys, we`re doing great!
Nam: Yeah, but I`m barely keeping aggro… *Kitone looks away for a second and Nam mocks* Did I tell you even your story`s title is horribly simple and lacks creativity?!
Kitone: GRRGHH… DIE!! *Keeps hitting Nam with all her might*
Nem: Phew, almost…
Atoli: Good job at keeping aggro!
Juneau: Yeah, she`d kill some of us in one hit…
Kitone: FOLLOWERS, WAKE UP AND ATTACK THEM…!! *Monsters spawn around Kitone and begin attacking*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/KKPhino.jpg

Ako: What in the world…?!
Nam: Oh heck no, I can`t do it with these! Take them away!
Neo: I`m on it, I`m on it! *Mocks the monsters* Hey monsters, you look like you were designed by a three-year-old!
King Coll: What did he just say?! *Turns to him*
Golden bat: Hey, I took weeks of planning, you know?! *They start following him, Neo runs away*
Harkan: Yeah, and I was designed based on one of the designer`s wife!
Ogre: Man, you weren`t supposed to tell him that…
Harkan: *Thinks for a second* [CENSORED]…
Nam: Thanks Neo! *Uses Devastate* She can`t be stunned…
Lenore: Not in that state she can`t… *Heals Neo, who`s being attacked by a pile of monsters*
Neo: No, no, it`s okay, let me die. I`ll use one of my hearts
Crystal: You have more than one heart?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/AkatsukiKakuzu.png

Neo: Kingdom quest, Crystal. Kingdom Quest, focus
Crystal: Oh yeah…
Lenore: Okay then! *Goes back to healing Nam*
Atoli: *Looks at Kitone`s health bar* She`s almost dead! I knew we could do this!
Knivy: Oh man, my inventory`s full! I need to throw something away or I won`t get the treasure chest! *Wonders what to dispose of*
Nam: Yeah, we`re almost there!
Seras: *Looks at Neo* Neo, you`re lying on the floor
Neo: Yeah, I`m dead, the monsters killed me
Seras: Are you waiting for Kitone to be almost certainly dead so you can click and respawn to get the success without having done anything, your worthless lazy piece of…
Neo: *Respawns* I… I wasn`t doing that! *Goes back to Kitone and hits her* See? I`m fighting, I`m fighting…!!
Ceri: There, we did it, she`s…!
Kitone: ENOUGH…!!! *Opens her arms and releases a shockwave that sends everyone flying backwards, hitting whatever is in their way* I… must kill… you all…
Nam: Tch, we were so close…
Knivy: Sh… she looks mad…
Kitone: Ghhh… grhhhh…
Ako: And look at her… you can see her veins… her demented expression… her voice is really creepy… I`m envious *Opens eyes wide*
Lenore: Whoa Ako, remind me not to upset you…
Ewoyn: She also looks bulkier than before… it looks as if she would`ve been affected by the G-Virus
Nam: Um, you mean T-Virus
Ewoyn: No, I mean G-Virus
Nam: You mean the one on Resident Evil, right? That`s the T-Virus
Ewoyn: Um, I`m pretty sure the one I`m referring to is the G-Virus
Nam: You`re talking about Resident Evil, yes?
Ewoyn: Yeah, G-Virus
Nam: No Ewo, the one on Resident Evil is called T-Virus. With a T
Ewoyn: I`m 100% sure the virus I`m referring to is from Resident Evil and has a G and not a T, it`s the G-Virus
Nam: And I`m telling you there`s no such thing as…!!
Neo: *Snaps* OH COME ON!! *Stands up* Both the T-Virus and the G-Virus are from Resident Evil, the T-Virus is the regular virus that turns people into zombies and was developed by the Umbrella Corporation, probably by Wesker, with the original purpose of creating superior human beings. The G-Virus was created by William Birkin, who used to work with Wesker, with a similar purpose, its effect is different though, and Birkin proved it by testing it on himself, it turned him into a monster with huge claws and an eye on his enormous shoulder that`s a pain in the rear to kill on Resident Evil 2. A similar situation can be seen in the new movie Resident Evil: Degeneration when another character makes use of the G-Virus and turns into a surprisingly similar monster. OKAY?!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/WilliamBirkin_3.jpg

Nam: Y… yeah…
Ewoyn: S… sorry… I guess?
Kitone: I… finally…
Kokoro: Guys, her voice sounds different! *Everyone listens*
Kitone: I… finally… have this power… I have to… ungh…
Seras: Heh, it all makes sense…
Lenore: What does?
Seras: Well, Kitone killed Sereno, which was supposed to be her ally, because she obviously has different intentions… she doesn`t only want to serve that Evil Lord dude…
Ako: Yeah, but…
Seras: I`m not finished. She killed him to take control of the EXvil energy he possessed, and used it to obtain the power we now see she has… but she didn`t know that amount of power would turn her into a berserker killing machine, that she wouldn`t be able to retain her rationality…
Atoli: Aha…
Seras: And now, the real Kitone inside that monster is trying to regain control of her body, with the new power
Atoli: You mean she doesn`t want to kill us all?
Seras: Oh, no, she definitely wants to kill us all, every last one of us… but she has her pride, she wants to be the one that kills us… not that monster that`s standing in front of us *Points at Kitone*
Neo: Wow… you`re good *Nods*
Kitone: *Looks at Seras* I… I… ghh… I…
Ako: Sadly, there is nothing we can do…
Ewoyn: *Looks at her* Yeah…
Crystal: What do you mean?
Ako: Berserk or not berserk, she`s our enemy, and she wants to kill us… *Points her axe at Kitone* We must fight
Zappy: We`d be killing three birds with one stone, in the end… she killed Sereno and Mrew for us, heh…
Seras: Yeah, she wasn`t even able to keep herself from killing the person next to her when she swallowed the EXvil energy… even if it was her companion
Neo: Everyone, get ready… *Grips his sword with both hands* For a battle without honor or humanity ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnfFTVjRpLI)…
Kitone: *Her voice goes back to creepy* I… I… I`m… I`M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL…!!! *Takes her sword again and dashes at them*
Ako: Let`s go!!

Kitone and the forces of the Apoliner collided in a vortex of people attacking, dodging, blocking, running, doing those awesome mid-air dashes that are impossible to do in real life. Her newly gained strength made the evil player a force to be reckoned with, making cuts and opening gashes in the digital bodies of our heroes, who seemed to be slowly but steadily gaining the upper hand of the combat. After all, Kitone was severely outnumbered, and the fact that the real Kitone wasn`t okay with a monster killing her prey on her behalf, was hindering her powers in some way…

Lenore: 1girl1hammer1shield…!! *Lenore spins around hitting Kitone with both her hammer and shield*
Atoli: Sailor arrows…!! *Shoots an array of multi-coloured arrows*
Kitone: USELESS…!! *Blocks everything with her massive sword*
Seras: *Jumps behind Kitone* Then use THIS! *Hits the back of her head with a monkey wrench*
Kitone: AAAARGHH…!! *Falls to the ground, and stays motionless*
Ako: Not baaad…
Seras: Thank you *Everyone starts walking towards Kitone*
Kokoro: *Sigh* What do we do now?
Seras: We`re lucky I managed to put her out of combat for a while… but she`s too powerful, our attacks have almost no effect on her…
Ewoyn: Yeah. We`ll have to kill her now that we can
Atoli: Kill her? For real?
Zappy: AWSM
Neo: Tch… *Gets closer and grabs his sword* Now… I`ll end her pain…
Lenore: What? You`re not a [CENSORED]ing cleric! Kill the [CENSORED]!!
Neo: *Turns around* That`s what I was trying to say, Lenore! By ending her pain, I mean killing her!
Lenore: Well, I`m not good with word games, Einstein! Hurry up and do it before she gets up and uses us to mop the floor!
Neo: Yeah, yeah… *Turns around* Here I… *Suddenly, with a bright flash, Kitone`s body disappears* Huh?!
Zappy: WAT
Nam: Where did she go?!
Lenore: Oh, [CENSORED]!! [CENSORED]ing [CENSORED]!! This is [CENSORED] great!!
Nao: She… just vanished?!
Lenore: Looks like she [CENSORED]ing did, and now we`re [CENSORED]!
Seras: Dammit…
Ceri: Wait, wait, guys, let`s calm down… first, let`s look around… then we`ll decide what to do
Neo: S… sounds good… she can`t just have… disappeared… *The crew`s dispersed all over the deck* Tch…

Eirlyn: *Standing on the roof of the ship, unnoticed by anyone* Hm, that was close… *Vanishes with the same bright flash*

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apolinertitle.jpg

Chapter 23: Vanishing villains

Allright, so, during the last chapter we covered the gruesome battle between our heroes and the bloodthirsty Kitone that took place on the now ravaged deck of the Apoliner… I think it`s only fair if we now jump to the Subspace Emissary and take a peek at what`s going on in there…

- Subspace Emissary`s deposit

The remaining crew of the Emissary was fighting a losing battle against the evil players whose numbers didn`t seem to decrease…
Aury: Tsk… *Stops fighting for a second and her back meets Athemis`*
Athemis: We`re dangerously outnumbered… *Countless evil players were surrounding them* I can`t even count them because they`re countless…
Seph: Heh, it`s not quantity what counts, but quality…!! *Raises her hammer* Wooohh…!! *Hits the ground violently, creating a shockwave* EARTHQUAKE!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/DPEarthquake.png

Naimh: Whoa, nice! *A lot of evil players are thrown away, but more keep coming through the door* Oh dear…
Seph: Where do all these come from…?
Aury: You saw the ship they brought… it`s probably filled with soldiers…
Magi: *Tired* Wh… what do we do now…?
Fury: Gyahahaha…!! Who`s the butt-face now, huh? *Points his axe* Kill them all…!!
Aury: Aww… you`re doing it wrong, butt-face, this won`t solve anything… *Jumps, sinks her foot on an evil mage`s head and darts towards Fury* Surgery will!
Fury: Tch! *Stops her using his axe as a shield* Now you`re gonna get it! *Swings his axe*
Aury: Hm! *Dodges to the side* You`re gonna need more than an axe if you wanna get some of this! *Launches a low kick*
Fury: *Jumps* Ooooorrryaaaahhh…!! *Swings again, downward*
Naimh: *Watching* Guys, Aury`s right! If we can`t finish the grunts off, we have to go for the heads! Like a Hydra!
Seph: Ohhh, you mean… the grunts keep coming, no matter how many we take down… so we should focus on their leaders first!
Athemis: Like a Hydra!
Seph: Yeah! *Points at Athemis*
Naimh: Um, guys, that`s what I just…
Athemis: *Draws her bow* Let`s go! *Points at Fury, fighting with Aury*
Fury: Agh… *Jumps backwards* Don`t let them near me!! *A cloud of evil players gathers between Fury and the rest of the crew*
Athemis: Tch, leave them to me! *Loads an orange arrow* NAPALM SHOT!! *Shoots the arrow and turns the first row of players on fire*
Magi: Yes, good job! *More evil dudes fill their place* Darn…
Fury: That`s it, don`t let them get any closer!
Aury: What, butt-face? *Smirks* Getting cold feet?
Fury: Tch, don`t make me laugh… we both know I can`t take you all at once
Aury: Oh, smart! *Surprised*
Fury: Watch your tongue, Captain Spinaury, I don`t care about the means I use if I can fulfill my mission *Razmiran enters the deposit by the door after a group of evil players*
Razmiran: *Singing* The eeend, justifies the meeeeans~ The eeend, justifies meee~ *Stops* Oh yes, the end justifies the means
Naimh: Ah, there`s the other one!
Aury: Hm? *Looks at the newcomer and lowers her guard*
Fury: An opening! *Lifts his axe* FURY SWIPES!! *Swings it left and right repeatedly, heavily damaging Aury* Ha-ha!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/DPFury_swipes.png

Aury: Agghhh…!! *Hits the wall* Tch, [CENSORED]ing butt-face!
Seph: Aury, are you okay? *They run towards her*
Fury: *Stands beside Raz* Are you done making your cool entrance?
Razmiran: I was just singing a song I learnt a long time ago, heh…
Fury: Well you took your damn time to come down here, Maquiavelo, what the heck were you doing?!
Razmiran: Trying to contact Sereno, remember? *Waves his whisphone* We needed his authorization to blow this thing up
Fury: I remember, but I think it`s a little too damn late for that! *Points at the mayhem going between the Emissary`s crew and the evil players*
Razmiran: Oh, I know… but wait, isn`t all this mess entirely YOUR FAULT?!
Fury: Oh, give me a break! How the hell was I supposed to know that the girl is friggin` Chun Li?! *Points at Auryen, disposing of more evil players*
Razmiran: We`re supposed to investigate our targets…
Fury: Tch, you talk as if you knew…
Razmiran: Who said I didn`t?
Fury: *Turns around* Well, if you knew then you`re one [CENSORED]ing son of a…!!
Razmiran: Whatever, we`ll have to do this old school *Gets his bow ready*
Fury: Now we`re talking… *They start walking towards the crew*
Athemis: Hey, look, they`re coming…!
Aury: Everyone get ready, this is gonna get ugly…
Seph: Uglier than it already is? Because until now, it`s been pretty ugly…
Aury: Yeah, uglier than it already is…
Magi: Man, that`s like, really ugly…
Seph: Dude, what`s up with these repetition jokes? Didn`t Athemis just make one like, at the beginning of the chapter?
Athemis: Yeah, I think I did…
Seph: Well, they`re not even funny, why do we keep…?
Neo: You don`t think they`re funny?
Seph: *Startled* WHOA!!
Neo: Gee, really? Man, I thought they were… I mean, I laugh pretty hard with those, but maybe I`m just weird, I don`t know… *Pensative*
Seph: You again? What are you doing here?!
Neo: Hm? *Looks at her* Well, I`m… *Looks around* Hm… huh? *Notices where he is* OHSHI-- *Dissappears*
Razmiran: Heh, we`re lucky, they`re already wounded…
Fury: Yeah, these soldiers did their work well, but we don`t need them anymore, huhuh… *Players were cluttering up the deposit* Outta my way…!! *Swings his axe and cuts a bunch of evil players in half*
Naimh: *Opens eyes wide* Ungh…
Fury: That`s right, that`s what`s gonna happen to you… *Smirks*
Razmiran: Watch it, Fury, we have a limited stock of these…
Fury: Oh, come on! The Evil Lord, like, poops evil soldiers, we`ll be fine… *They stand in front of Aury and the others*
Aury: Heh, I beat you before, butt-face, and I can certainly do it again…
Razmiran: Ah, but don`t you know? When you sever a hydra`s head, two heads grow in its place… *Loads an arrow, sound of reloading a shotgun is head*
Fury: Damn straight!
Naimh: Okay… how does he know we said that?
Seph: I dunno… hey who was the fool who said that [CENSORED] about a hydra, anyway?
Athemis: Uhhh… um, I think it was Naimh
Naimh: What? No! It was you!
Athemis: No, you clearly said it first
Naimh: But you took credit!
Razmiran: Enough…!! *Aims at the ceiling* LET IT RAIN!! *Green steamy arrows start raining over the crew*
Seph: Shoot, watch out! *Covers self with his shield*
Aury: Guys, attack them, I`ll take care of this! *Jumps over Sephorion`s shield and leaps again into the air* RAPID SPIN!! *Aury starts spinning around furiously, dispersing all the arrows*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/DPRapid_spin.png

Razmiran: *Wario voice* Dammit…
Magi: Heh… oh! *Realizes she has to attack* MATRA MAGIC!! *Releases a blue missile towards Razmiran that catches him off guard*
Razmiran: Argh…!! *Grabs his arm*
Fury: I got her…!! *Runs towards Magi and jumps* Yaaaahhh…!!
Athemis: No…!! *Stands in front of Magi and aims at Fury* I haven`t been able to do anything so far! This is my time to shine…!!

Guy watching TV: Man, these action scenes sure are lame, let`s see what else is on… *Changes the channel*

And now, Kebing Costner on “Dances with wolves”!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/DancesWithWolves.jpg

A Kebing was lying on the ground inside a tent, writing something on a diary…

Dear Diary: The Kebing-Honeying war rages on. I, lieutenant John K. Dumber have been assigned to a military post at the center of Burning Hill after being told that my legs had to be amputated. When I informed my superior that I didn`t have any legs he called me a hero, gave me a medal, and assigned me the mission of guarding this place from the cute yet evil honeying army

However, as soon as I arrived here, disaster struck: It seems my superiors were unaware that this post was already taken by the Marlone Gang, and my second in command was murdered on an attempt to solo Marlone. He didn`t get past the archers. I am now awaiting reinforcements on one of the huts on the outskirts of Burning Hill, but days pass and nobody arrives. It seems nobody notices me missing. After all, what is one Kebing among all monsters?

After settling myself here, I made contact with a nearby tribe of Glow Wolves. They are wolves that glow. Kinda. They lead primitive lives and use weird names. I befriended them after taking care of one of their cubs who was called “Always Gets Pwned”, he was left on 1HP by a newbie archer who didn`t finish him off, thus not giving him the opportunity to respawn as good as new. This won me the affection of “Buff pl0x”, the healer of the tribe, and “Almost Robo”, the chief, who is not hostile at all and has a deep admiration for players, to the point that his three children are called “Naruto82237451942”, “xXxXdark_angelXxXx” and “Subtlety”. I`m also friends with his wife, “Constantly In Heat” who, surprisingly enough, is pregnant. The chief wants to name the baby “__SmokeWeedForLife__”, but I`m trying to make him desist of choosing that name.

I`m spending more time communing with the tribe than waiting for reinforcements or guarding my post. The only wolf I`m still not able to call my friend is “Bad Enough Dude”, who seems to hate me for being a Kebing. The rest even game me a tribal name and all, I`m called “Invisible feet”. So, the other day I was gathering water with “Tier three”, the merchant, when we saw…

Guy watching TV: Dude, what the heck was that?! Even worse than Apoliner… let`s go see how that is going… *Changes the channel*

Razmiran: Aghh, man… *Is lying against a wall beside Fury, both severely damaged*
Athemis: Heh, we have you where we wanted now…
Naimh: Oh my gosh, Athemis! That thing you did was awesome…!!
Athemis: Hehe… thank you, thank you…
Naimh: No, really, it totally rocked! The attack! And the name of the attack! And how the arrows went and… whoa… man, I think that attack was so awesome that you won`t be allowed to ever use it again during the rest of the series…
Fury: Series?
Aury: Silence! *Puts her foot on Fury`s leg and presses*
Fury: Aaaaarrghhh…!!
Aury: Looks like we managed to defend our ship after all, huh? *Presses a little more*
Seph: W… watch it, Aury, we don`t want to kill them…
Aury: *Turns head around* Oh, no? Since when? *Looks back at the villiains* These [CENSORED]s took my best friend… they took her away from me…
Razmiran: I… already told you… it wasn`t us…
Aury: Shut up! You`re all the same…!!
Athemis: Aury, please…
Aury: She was more than a friend to me, much more… she… she was my SISTER…!! *Kicks Fury`s leg*
Seph: Aury! We won`t kill them!
Aury: I am the captain and I`m the one who gives the orders!! *Points at Raz and Fury* And I say these two…!! *All of a sudden, with two bright flashes like the one we saw during last chapter, the two villiains disappear* Huh…?!
Seph: What the…?!
Aury: I say, erm… that we don`t kill them. Everyone obey me *They all look at her* …what? I see you guys are doing a good job obeying me…

A while later, upstairs…

- Subspace Emissary`s bridge

Aury: *Trying to use the communications panel* Come on, come oooon…
Magi: Does it work?
Aury: That`s what I`m trying to find ou… *Surprised* I`m getting a signal!
Neo: Hello? Emissary, do you copy? This is the Apoliner…
Seras: *Her voice can be heard from a distance* Or what`s left of it, dammit…
Aury: Yes! Hello!
Neo: Ah, Captain Spinaury!
Lenore: *Her voice is heard too* Whoohoo…! It`s working…!!
Ako: *Voice* Ask them if anything happened to them!
Neo: I know, I know… is everything okay over there?
Aury: Now it is, but we were under attack a second ago, two evil generals…
Neo: We know, we were attacked too and we saw them going towards your ship, we couldn`t warn you because…
Aury: Communication between the ships was cut off, we know
Neo: Gee, those guys sure love giving away information…
Aury: Aha, yeah, these weren`t precisely bright, but they were tough…
Neo: We had a frickin` bomb planted on our ship *Talks to someone near him* The bomb was removed, right?
Seras: The bomb? *Opens eyes wide* OHSHI-- *Runs away*
Neo: *Back on the mic* Well, it will be removed shortly… so, what exactly happened to you guys…? From the beginning…

EXPLANATION

Aury: The guys here vanished too… and no evil player was left alive
Neo: You killed them all?
Aury: They did, actually. One of them seemed to really enjoy cutting people in half. And, it`s not like he could really cut us, so…
Neo: Yeah, I understand…
Aury: Neo, I don`t know if you noticed, but Naimh, the radar girl here, is showing me that we`re actually pretty close to the Evil Sky Fortress…
Neo: Are we…? *Looks around* Well, my radar girl is reading Twilight
Aury: Gross
Neo: I know. So we`re close? What do you suggest we do?
Aury: Charge
Neo: Heh, that`s what I had in mind
Aury: Not exactly charge, more like… infiltrating their base. It`s obvious that to get to that Evil Lord who`s behind all this, we gotta enter the Fortress ourselves…
Neo: Agreed
Aury: And I`m going, no matter what anyone says
Neo: Well, I lost the last chance I had to get out of the ship, and I don`t intend to lose this one, heheh…
Aury: Excellent, let`s keep going towards the Sky Fortress at a steady pace, we`ll communicate later *Ends the transmission*
Athemis: What, so the general attacking their ship vanished too?
Aury: Well, two were killed, but the other one, yeah, it vanished… man… I wonder what`s up with all those disappearances… what about YOU? *Aury points at the camera, at the public*

Seph: *The camera turns around and we see she was pointing at Sephorion* Well, um… I… heh, yeah… I`m kinda wondering that too…

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 24: Fatal attraction

Well, well, well, both ships are in peace for now. After getting rid of their respective invaders, both the Apoliner and the Subspace Emissary now head for the nearby Evil Fortress. Of course, their presence didn`t go unnoticed in their destination, and preparations for their arrival were already beginning…

- Evil Sky Fortress

The Evil Lord was standing quietly in the middle of his chamber, apparently talking to someone we can`t see…
Evil Lord: What is the situation, Lana?
Lana: *Voice* Both invasions to the Apoliner and the Subspace Emissary were a complete failure, and it has been impossible for us to determine the location of the generals who were in charge, that and…
Evil Lord: Would you mind appearing?
Lana: Excuse me, my Lord?
Evil Lord: If you could show yourself. It makes me nervous to be talking with the walls
Lana: But, sir… you know I am an elite ninja. It`s easier for me to remain unseen
Evil Lord: Lana, show yourself…
Lana: Really sir, I`m such an awesome ninja that I actually have to make a huge effort in order to be seen
Evil Lord: Appear at once!
Lana: Yes, my Lord, I am sorry… *Appears in front of him, kneeling*
Evil Lord: That`s better… *Turns around and makes her face his back* You were saying, about the generals disappearing…
Lana: That means Sereno, Fury and Razmiran are nowhere to be found, they have apparently vanished… not only that, but Kitone, who wasn`t even assigned to these missions and had ran away after her first failure, has also gone missing…
Evil Lord: What about Mrew?
Lana: *Pulls out Mrew`s head and holds it by the hair* I hope this can answer your question
Evil Lord: I see… *Walks around* Of course, I already knew all that
Lana: Of course, my Lord… I also know you already know that the current situation is the following, both ships are heading towards the fortress at considerable speed…
Evil Lord: They seem to know nothing stands in their way…
Lana: The Apoliner leads the charge, being closely followed by the Emissary. Apparently, they are going to attempt an attack
Evil Lord: If that`s what they want, we`ll let them have their attack… you`ve set all the traps, Lana?
Lana: Yes, my Lord, everything is in place
Evil Lord: Including the zombies?
Lana: Specially the zombies
Evil Lord: Good… they think that because they`ve managed to get this far they`ll be able to walk around the passages of the evil fortress like it`s their own house… or worse, that they can even defeat me!
Lana: You need not worry about that, my Lord. You know traps are my specialty
Evil Lord: Yes… and you do know, Lana, that you are the only remaining general on duty…
Lana: I am aware of that…
Evil Lord: Do not disappoint me, and you will be rewarded…
Lana: Thank you, my Lord… now, regarding the ships that are approaching, I have a suggestion to make…
Evil Lord: Hm…
Lana: We could activate the Gravitation Drive
Evil Lord: The Gravitation Drive?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/g_gravitation7.jpg

Lana: Yes, it would allow us to set the fortress` gravitational attraction to the maximum
Evil Lord: Thus giving our visitors a warm welcome… that`s a very good idea, Lana, you may proceed…
Lana: Yes!
Evil Lord: And remember, Lana. If they manage to survive… I want the captains alive. You can kill all the rest
Lana: Understood, my Lord
Evil Lord: Go now! *Lana vanishes in a cloud of smoke as the Evil Lord walks to his throne* So you are already this close… it was exactly as he said, in the end… so much time ago… I guess nobody can escape fate *Clenches his fist*

- Sereno`s chamber

On a room located god knows where, the not-so-masculine Sereno, who wasn`t as calm as the Evil Lord, was throwing a real fit. His face, usually showing a girly and mischievous smile, was now burning with anger. And yes, he was alive…
Sereno: DAMN IT…!! *Punches the wall* Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit…!! *Punches again* How… how could I lose like that?! How could I let them shame me like that…!! *Punches two more times, a small crack appears on the wall* They… they found out about me… they laughed at me… they defeated me! *Closes his fist* And Kitone… that [CENSORED] traitor… *Falls on his knees* I will never forget what she did… son of a…
Eirlyn: *Opens the door and enters* Good daaaaay~
Sereno: *Surprised, gets up extra fast and points at Eir* DRAGON FLAME!! *A weak spark comes out of her hand* … wha?!
Eirlyn: We`ve supressed your magic. My, my, Sereno, you need to mind your manners. That is no way to greet your teammate…
Sereno: Teammate?! What the hell are you talking about?! I don`t know where the [CENSORED] I am!!
Eirlyn: I came here to answer all the questions you might have…
Sereno: Well, you bett… wait… *Looks at her carefully* E… Eirlyn?!
Eirlyn: At last, I was afraid you wouldn`t recognize me
Sereno: Well, it`s only that I don`t pay much attention to girls
Eirlyn: Yeah, I know…
Sereno: What are you doing here? What am I doing here? What is this place?
Eirlyn: Wait, wait, wait… slow down… first things first, we`re on a chamber of my ship, the Shadow Shadowness
Sereno: The what? You`re not fooling me, there is no evil ship that goes by that name
Eirlyn: Well, there is now. This is not a ship under the Evil Lord`s control
Sereno: What…?! You mean… no, wait… um… and why am I here?
Eirlyn: I brought you here from the fortress with my teleporting powers
Sereno: From the fortress?
Eirlyn: That`s right, I knew you were alive. I knew you had sent a clone in the Black Blackness to your mission. It was dangerous, after all, you had planted a bomb on the ship, and were willing to make everything explode, even yourself…
Sereno: Aha…
Eirlyn: But you just couldn`t help yourself and decided to have some fun… making the mission fail
Sereno: *Angry* Hey, if that [CENSORED]ing Kitone hadn`t showed up, I would`ve used the EXvil energy, and there wouldn`t be an Apoliner right now!
Eirlyn: Well, you already saw how Kitone ended up after using the EXvil energy herself…
Sereno: *Points at Eir* She`s weak, she couldn`t handle it! I can!
Eirlyn: That`s quite irrelevant… anyway, I knew the clone you had made wasn`t a normal clone, one of those crappy ones that explode when touched

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/shadow-clone-001.jpg

Sereno: Of course not, psh… who do you think I am?
Eirlyn: Aha, it`s a special clone that takes almost all your vital energy… leaving you unconscious while you`re commanding it. Then you can either disable it and return to your body, or return when something happens to it
Sereno: H… how do you know so much…?
Eirlyn: That doesn`t matter *Winks* Anyway, you needed to be in a secure place where you used that clone technique, since your real body would be left unconscious, and of course, you used your chamber in the fortress… I simply teleported your body over here before your clone had the opportunity to die
Sereno: But… you knew Kitone would kill me? Well, my clone
Eirlyn: It would`ve been the same, actually… Kitone`s assault did help me in more than one way…
Sereno: Help? Wait a damn second… what is going on? What are you doing?
Eirlyn: Ah~ You`ll see that when we join the others, let`s go…
Sereno: The others?
Eirlyn: That`s right *Opens the door* Everyone`s here, and it will be a lot easier if I explain this to all of you together…
Sereno: I`m not going anywhere until you explain everything to me *Stays still*
Eirlyn: Aww, Sereno… *Places a finger on his lips, pressing her body against his* Pretty please~?
Sereno: *Not amused* You should know by now that your feminine attributes have no effect on me, woman…
Eirlyn: Oops! *Gets away* Sorry, reflex~ *Giggles* Really, now *Serious* Come with me, or you will be left out. And trust me, you don`t want to be left out. You won`t get your magic back, also…
Sereno: Tch, dammit…
Eirlyn: Be a good boy and let`s go, okay? This way… *They both exit the room*

But you won`t know anything my dear reader! Instead, let`s see what`s happening in the…

- Apoliner`s bridge

Neo: *Looks out of the big window* All right! We`re closer than ever!
Aury: Yes, the fortress appears very close… it`s enormous
Lenore: Kokoro, coordinates?
Kokoro: *Looking at the radars* We`re close, but we gotta get closer in order to attempt a safe landing
Lenore: Landing?
Kokoro: I mean disembarking, dumping you guys on the fortress, you know…
Lenore: Ah, yeah…
Aury: We`ll have to move fast when we disembark… the fact that we have backup doesn`t mean we have to use it
Nam: We have backup?
Ako: Yeah, the Subspace Emissary will stay behind and won`t approach the fortress. Its crew will remain on standby while we raid the place, in case we need help… it wouldn`t be wise if we just send everyone
Crystal: Yup… *Points at the fortress* I bet that`s a dangerous place
Neo: I`m sure it is. I have this feeling something creepy is drawing near… *Puts a hand in his pocket* Oh wait, that was my Silent Hill radio *Turns it off*
Nam: Ahhh, so that`s why Aury`s here…
Aury: Yeah, I`m going with you, of course… the Evil Lord and I have unfinished business…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/kill-bill-the-bride.jpg

Ceri: And your crew`s staying on your ship?
Aury: I`ve left Sephorion in charge… to tell you the truth, he`s far more suited for being Captain than I am…
Ceri: I knew
Lenore: Yeah, me too
Seras: *Sitting in a corner* No [CENSORED], Sherlock…
Nam: I kinda thought so too
Crystal: Yes, yes *Nods*
Aury: *Turns around* Damn you, guys…
Neo: Heheh… now, now, guys, no need to be so… *The ship tumbles* Oh man, not again…
Ako: I know someone has to say this, but… what was that?!
Ewoyn: *Comes in from outside* I was patrolling outside, but there`s nothing over there, instead…
Kokoro: *Looking at the radars with her eyes wide open* This… this can`t be!
Neo: What? What is it, Koko?
Kokoro: Our… this says our… our speed… has tripled *Looks at Neo slowly*
Lenore: Tripled?!
Neo: We`re going three times as fast?!
Seras: *Walks to them* Well, that`s what tripled meant last time I checked, Einstein!
Nam: Waah, I certainly can feel the speed…!!
Zappy: *Grabs a table in order not to fly* OMGWTHHAX
Aury: There`s no way to stop it?
Koko: At this speed, the brakes won`t do any good!
Ako: The fortress is basically sucking us in…
Aury: Dammit, of course they were gonna pull a stunt like this, what was I thinking?!
Seras: Calm down, we need to think of something we can do…
Kokoro: We`ll crash in less than two minutes!!
Neo: Dude, I should`ve installed red lights and an alarm for situations like this, it would look awesome…
Aury: Neo, this is no time for jokes!!
Neo: *Glares* ALL the time is the time for jokes…
Zappy: Right on! *Starts running around* MAI ROFLSHIP GOES CRASHCRASHCRASHCRASH---!!
Kokoro: *Still on the radars* Crashing in less than one minute!!
Seras: *Closing her eyes, trying to think* There`s gotta be something… something…
Neo: *Looks through the window at the fortress quickly approaching* I`d suggest holding onto something, quick!
Seras: But…! *Looks the same way as neo* Ffffffuuuuuuu---

CRAAAAASSHHHHHHHHHHHH-----!!!

With an insanely loud noise and an impressive display of explosions, the Apoliner crashed head-on, its beak furiously penetrating the lower layer of the Evil Sky Fortress

Chapter 25: Overkill

Disaster! Our heroes` attempt at approaching the Evil Fortress and disembarking on it failed miserably when they were sucked in by its Gravitation Drive. The Apoliner`s speed tripled and, without its crew being able to do anything, it crashed against the lower layer of the Fortress… is everyone okay?

- Apoliner`s remains

Neo`s a bit dizzy as he opens his eyes. Blue sky surrounds him as he realizes that he`s flying really high in the air, riding a giant butterfly-looking creature…
Neo: Mothra!!

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/godzilla/images/thumb/5/5c/Leo_(Rainbow).jpg/300px-Leo_(Rainbow).jpg

Mothra: That`s right Neo, you finally wake up
Neo: Oh my god it`s you! And I`m riding you!
Mothra: That is correct
Neo: And you can talk!!
Mothra: Indeed I can! And that`s not all, I`m talking with the voice of Masako Katsuki, your favourite voice actress
Neo: *Closes his eyes and listens* It`s true!! It can`t be… Mothra, where are we…?
Mothra: The real world, of course!
Neo: What, the real world?! We`re not on the videogame?
Mothra: Oh, no Neo. You already saved the world. And for the seventh time!
Neo: W… whoa… and… where are we flying to?
Mothra: The beaches in Okinawa. We received an urgent phone call from Koda Kumi, she needed you to get there as soon as possible so you could rub sun tan lotion on her and on her friends Aki Hoshino and Ami Tokito
Neo: I… I see… *Begins crying silently*
Mothra: Of course, you were asleep, because the date you had with Kirsten Dunst yesterday finished really late
Neo: Oh yeah… I think I can almost remember that…
Mothra: So I just picked you up from your mansion in Neoland, and…
Neo: Neoland…?
Mothra: Of course, Neo. The country that was founded in your honor
Neo: Ah, true…
Mothra: We`re getting closer to Okinawa, Neo! Are you ready?
Neo: *Wipes his tears off* Yes! Let`s go, Mothra!!
Mothra: Oh, snap! Wait a second, we can`t do it yet, because you need to…

Aury: WAKE UP!!!
Neo: Huh? *Wakes up slowly* Hmm…? Wha…?
Aury: Ah, finally! I was the first one to wake up… *All the crew was lying on the floor, some on top of others, and most of them were injured*
Neo: What happ…? *Tries to get up, but pain strikes* Oww… my neck…
Aury: I`m hurt too… *Grabs her arm with a hand* But it`s nothing…
Neo: *Still drowsy* I was lucky… I appear to have landed on a comfy, soft and bouncy surface that shielded me from…
Seras: EHEM!!
Neo: Huh?! *Takes his head off her chest* Oops, my bad!!
Seras: *Gets up slowly and with pain* Ahhh… dammit…
Lenore: *Also gets up on the other side of the destroyed bridge* You said it… god-mother[CENSORED]-dammit…
Neo: Ungh… *Places a hand on the back of his neck* Now I know what my grandpa feels… how are the others?
Aury: Hurt, most of them… *Looks at Lenore* But now one of the clerics is awake…
Lenore: *Sigh* I know, I know… *Walks among the others* Aw man, this is gross… so much blood… I`m sure Ako would love it…
Neo: *Standing up* Ako`s practically unharmed, how ironic…
Lenore: *Inspecting* Hmmm… Crystal`s wound is serious… and Zappy doesn`t look too good either…
Neo: He shouldn`t have been running like that at the moment of the collision
Lenore: I can`t heal this only with my skills, I`m gonna need the medical kit
Seras: It`s in the back… at least I hope it still is…
Lenore: *Walks to the back* Where, here? Ah, here it is! *Opens it* What the…? There`s only herbs and a spray here!
Neo: Yup! I stocked it well!
Lenore: How the heck am I supposed to treat wounds with this?!
Neo: *Looks at Lenore seriously* You`ve obviously never played Resident Evil
Lenore: Well, no, unless Klonoa is in one. Now give me space, everyone, I need to get to work… *Summons a white aura in her hands and starts healing everyone*
Aury: Yes please, we need to make haste… we don`t know what will happen if we stay here any longer
Seras: They`ve probably sent someone after us already… Aury`s right, we need to hurry
Lenore: Well, I can`t revive everyone just like that! There`s cooldown, y`know!
Aury: Revive the clerics first, so they can…
Lenore: I know! *Glares at Aury*
Aury: O… okay, heh…

- Evil Sky Fortress

Lana: Mmmkay… *Finishes burying something in the ground* That was the last mine, I think… they must be coming soon. If they think making their way across this place is gonna be easy, they`ve got it all wrong, huhuhuh… oh, the captains, I almost forgot I gotta capture them. The Lord would vaporize me if I kill them by accident, ugh…

The crew was standing outside of what was left of the Apoliner, most of them were wearing bandages in several parts of their bodies, but they were all standing up, Neo was in front of them
Neo: Okay! So… you all seem to be doing fine…
Crystal: Yup! *One of her arms falls off* Oops! *Puts it back on*

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/dragonninja1/Rei%20Ayanami/ReiAyanami6.jpg

Neo: Ugh, um, well… does… everyone remember what happened? *Zappy raises a hand* Oh, good, Zappy remembers
Zappy: No, I wanted to ask who the hell are you
Aury: *Covers her face with her hand* Oh dear…
Zappy: j/king lol
Nam: Yeah, we`re fine! We can take more pain than you think, haha!
Neo: Oh, thank god… I was lucky enough to land on… *Seras looks fiercely at him* Secure conditions, so I was kinda worried about you guys
Ceri: We`re allright, really *Smiles* We`re ready for anything
Ewoyn: Hey wait! Knivy, you`ve got cuts in your arms!
Knivy: Oh, those are from before
Ewoyn: Ah, good… wait, good?
Neo: Anyway, just to review… we crashed against the Evil Fortress…
Zappy: O RLY
Neo: Let me finish, Zap! Our original plan was to disembark and explore the area… and we kinda… accomplished it *Walking around* With a few unwanted effects, but we disembarked here, one way or the other… so I suggest we stick to our original plan
Crystal: Awesome. Which… was…?
Neo: We will spli…
Aury: *Speaks over him* We will split into groups and search the place separately while we keep in touch with our whisphones, in case we need help. If you guys find out anything about the whereabouts of the Evil Lord you tell Neo or me, okay? It`s him we`re looking for
Ako: Understood
Aury: Okay, let`s do this!

And so, after hurriedly splitting into groups, our heroes ventured deep inside the surprisingly welcoming Fortress. At least deeper than they already were, remember the Apoliner had sunk inside the thing with its beak…

- South sector

Knivy, Atoli and Juneau were walking down a long corridor
Knivy: *Sigh* This sucks…
Atoli: Yeah, we never get to do anything heroic and stuff…
Juneau: Pfft, tell me about it. The cameras probably aren`t even taking us at the moment *Picks her nose*
Atoli: Well, we need to focus! It`s our moment to show the others that we exist and that we can do stuff!
Knivy: Meh… and what are you going to do…?
Atoli: What a question, we`re going to find that Evil Lord ourselves!
Juneau: And defeat it? You`re out of your mind…
Atoli: No, not defeat it! That`s not our mission, we just have to find out where he is
Knivy: And tell Neo or Captain Spinaury, right? Meh… they get all the fun
Atoli: Oh, come on guys… don`t be like that…
Juneau: There aren`t any enemies here… they probably sent us the easy way
Knivy: Talk about underestimating us… *Grabs a rock and throws it in front of him* We`re never gonna do anyth… *The rock lands on the ground and creates a big explosion* WHOA!! *Falls to the ground, sitting*

http://www.imjosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/worms2.jpg

Juneau: What the…?!
Atoli: What was that…?
Juneau: *Opens eyes wide* Landmines…
Atoli: L…landmines?
Juneau: Yes… *Points forward* Landmines… do you see them?
Atoli: N… no…
Juneau: Exactly *Looks at her* They bury them in the ground so that we cannot see them!
Atoli: *Gasp* Are you ser…?! Hey, wait
Knivy: Oh, great… now we`re gonna die
Atoli: No we`re not! This is a good thing!
Knivy: What, blowing up into pieces? Sounds awesome
Atoli: *Shakes him* STOP BEING A [CENSORED] EMO!!
Knivy: *Scared* O… okay
Atoli: Why did it bleep? I didn`t curse
Juneau: But with that it looks like you did, heh. Anyway, Ato`s right. If there are mines here, it means there`s something interesting around, we have to keep going
Knivy: We`ll have to take care of the mines then… *Pulls out a handful of knives*
Atoli: Now we`re talking! *Readies her bow*
Juneau: I`ve got your backs… *Knivy and Atoli start shooting knives and arrows at the floor ahead of them, making the mines explode as they continue walking*

- Northwest sector

Seras: *Walking fast* So Ewo, what does it feel like to be a guy?
Ewoyn: We`ve been over this, and we`ve used Pokemon as similes…
Seras: Oh, yeah… well, I`m just trying to make conversation
Ewoyn: But so far, I gotta say I like it… and you, Ako?
Ako: Yes?
Ewoyn: You`ve been pretty silent so far
Ako: Oh, well, yeah… well, I haven`t got much to say…
Ewoyn: You said you were a guy before, right?
Ako: Mmhmm, that`s right
Ewoyn: And you, Seras?
Seras: What?
Ewoyn: Any secret you`d like to share? I mean, you must have one if you wish to team up with us sexual oddities, hahaha!
Ako: Hey, I`m not a…! *A hand comes out of the floor in front of Ako* Wah!! *Steps back*
Seras: Hollllly…
Ewoyn: A hand?! *They look around and realize that zombies were coming out of the ground everywhere* Oh my god…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/51vKcLkKFgL.jpg

Seras: Shoot, I imagined they would set up traps… but zombies? I didn`t see this coming… *The zombies start walking slowly towards them*
Ako: Heh… zombies… heheh… heheheh, this is great…
Ewoyn: Huh?
Ako: This is awesome, zombies
Seras: I bet
Ako: No, really. Zombies are slow and stupid… they thought we`d be scared *Pulls out a Magnum and loads it * But I`m not scared
Ewoyn: Well, if Ako`s not scared *Pulls out a Shotgun* I`m not scared either!
Seras: Okay… *Pulls out two Uzis from under her dress, her breasts bounce as she does so, creating an amazing fanservice moment for the guys* We have to keep going, boys! *Her dress changes to that of Ada Wong`s*
Ako and Ewo: Yeah! *Their clothes turn into suits as they start shooting the zombies and walking forward*
Seras: Shoot the [CENSORED] in the [CENSORED] head!
Ako: I [CENSORED] know, but it`s hard to [CENSORED] aim while I`m [CENSORED] running!
Ewoyn: Well, I have no [CENSORED] problem with that! *Blows a zombie`s head off*
Ako: Well, that`s because of your [CENSORED] DEX, and because you`re used to [CENSORED] kiting, [CENSORED]! *Runs and kicks one to the ground*
Seras: Why the [CENSORED] are we cursing so [CENSORED] much?! *Unleashes a rain of bullets over a group*
Ako: I have no [CENSORED] idea, it might have to do with these [CENSORED] clothes *Shoots an array and several zombies fall back*
Ewoyn: *A zombies approaches him* I`m gonna rip your [CENSORED] [CENSORED] off… *Shoots its head*
Seras: Well, whatever the [CENSORED] is causing it doesn`t [CENSORED] matter, we have to move on, the sons of a [CENSORED] keep coming! *Runs*
Ewoyn: *Turns around and produces a grenade while glaring at the zombies* I`ll see you in hell, [CENSORED]… *Throws it*
The explosion of Ewo`s grenade provided an awesome background for them as they made a run for it among a neverending amount of zombies…

- East sector

Neo: Phew, we`ve been walking for a while…
Ceri: Yeah… I`m getting tired here, this place is like a maze…
Lenore: Hey guys, remember we thought we were walking in circles?
Neo: Aha…
Lenore: And that you carved a “We`ve already been here” sign on the wall with your kunai in order to find out, Ceri?
Ceri: Yeah, why…?
Lenore: Well… *Points at the wall in front of them*

YOU`VE BEEN HERE ALREADY NUBS
LOLFAIL

Ceri: Ugh… oh, no… *Grabs her head and falls to her knees*
Neo: Hey, it`s allright… *Places a hand on her shoulder* We`ll just take the other path
Lenore: Which other path?
Neo: I don`t know *Shrugs*
Lenore: These is no other path… this place`s friggin` enchanted or something…
Neo: Whatever it is, we have to keep going. This isn`t time to be slacking off
Lenore: Gee, those phrases sure make you look cool, huh?
Neo: Yes
Ceri: *Sigh* You`re right guys *Gets up and turns around to face them* I have the feeling we… *Stops talking and opens eyes in horror*
Lenore: Hm?
Ceri: G… guys… *Points behind them*
Neo: What is it? Ceri?
Ceri: B… behind you…
Lenore: Wha…? *Turns around* OH MY GOD…!!!
Neo: GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…!!!

Chapter 26: Believe in me

Last episode on “Game Battleship Apoliner”…

Ceri: *Sigh* You`re right guys *Gets up and turns around to face them* I have the feeling we… *Stops talking and opens eyes in horror*
Lenore: Hm?
Ceri: G… guys… *Points behind them*
Neo: What is it? Ceri?

Neo: GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH…!!!

Man, talk about a cliffhanger! What kind of horrors were Neo and his crew gonna discover in the Evil Palace of Pain?! You`ll find out today!

- East sector

Ceri: I… it can`t be…
Lenore: Oh… oh god… *Covers her mouth with her hands* It`s… it`s horrible… *In front of them, a huge bubble-like thing was coming out of the floor*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/rover2.jpg

Neo: *Horrified* Wh… what IS that thing…?!
Ceri: I… I don`t know but… I`m scared… Neo, I`m scared… *The balloon was floating over the ground now, wobbling towards them*
Lenore: I… it`s coming to get us!
Ceri: What`s it gonna do to us…?!
Neo: We`re not staying around to find out, RUN!! *They start running in the opposite direction, the bubble closely following them*
Lenore: Dammit, it`s fast…!
Ceri: I was mentally prepared to face the horrors we would be put against in this place, but I never thought they`d go this far!! *Looks behind and sees the bubble getting closer* OH MY GOD!!! *Closes eyes and keeps running*
Neo: C… calm down Ceri!! I`m pretty nervous myself! *Tries not to look behind* I… it`s hideous…
Lenore: We have to keep our cool, guys! We`ll find a way out of this! *The bubble gets closer*
Ceri: Gyaaa! I don`t know Lenore… I… I think this is the end…
Neo: Is this how our adventure will end…? Finished by a giant bubble…?

Guy watching TV: OH FOR [CENSORED]`S SAKE!!! IT`S A BUBBLE!! POP IT!!

Lenore: Shoot, it`s gaining speed! *It gets even closer* Run, run, run, run, RUN!! *The three of them speed up*

Lana: Now`s the time *Snaps her fingers and a little rock comes out of the ground in front of Neo* Huhuh…

Ceri: W… watch out!!
Neo: Wha…? *Hits the rock and trips* Aghhhhh…!! *Falls to the ground*
Lenore: Neo, NO!! *The bubble stops beside Neo and begins engulfing him*
Neo: *Trying to free himself* No! Agh, get off me!!
Ceri: No, Neo, please, no!
Neo: Well, I`m trying, I`m trying!! *Despite his efforts, the bubble completely engulfs him* Ffffffffuuuuu…
Lenore: Noooo…!! *Lunges and hits the bubble with her hammer repeatedly, with no effect* Let him out, you stupid thing…!!
Neo: Len, don`t, you`re hitting me! Ow! *Covers self*
Lenore: I don`t care!! *Hits more* Die, you [CENSORED] balloon!! Die!! *Lana appears behind them*
Lana: I`m sorry, but I`ll be taking him with me…
Lenore: *Turns around, enraged* And who the [CENSORED] are you?!
Lana: I am Lana, the trap master, and that`s all you need to know
Ceri: You must be one of those evil generals! *Glares*
Lana: Yeah, but it`s not like knowing that helps you in any way *Snaps her fingers and the bubble disappears, with Neo inside*
Neo: Whoa!! So this is what they feel on Star Treeeeeeek…! *Vanishes*
Lenore: Hey!! *Looks around* You son of a [CENSORED], where did you take him?!
Lana: That`s none of your business
Ceri: Why don`t you take us too?!
Lana: Those aren`t my orders. I must away now, I don`t have time to deal with you… right now *Walks across one of the walls, like Kitty Pride*
Lenore: Hey, come back here!! I`m not finished with you!! *Hits the wall hard with her hammer* COME BACK!!
Ceri: Oh man…
Lenore: *Keeps hitting* Come back!! Come back, come back, come back!!
Ceri: Len… stop, I don`t think that`ll get us anywhere…
Lenore: *Stops* But… Neo… they got Neo… why didn`t she take us…
Ceri: I don`t know… maybe they only wanted him, for some reason
Lenore: We have to find him. Come on Ceri, let`s move!
Ceri: Wait, first we have to let the others know! *Takes out her whisphone*
Lenore: Oh, you`re right! Let`s call them as we go on!
Ceri: Yeah! *They start running*
Lenore: When I get my hands on that [CENSORED] I`m gonna kick her [CENSORED] so hard she`s gonna have to take a plane to go fetch it…

- Northeast sector

Nam and Zappy were standing in the middle of a chamber, surrounded by a pond full of sharks, piranhas, electric eels and a lion
Nam: *Shaking, grabbing his axe nervously* WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME?!
Zappy: *Running around him* LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

- Southwest sector

A door opens and Auryen, Crystal and Kokoro come out. They start walking through a passage
Aury: Man, that was intense… I can`t believe we made it through there!
Crystal: Yeah… a giant chess board with living pieces…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/potter_chess.jpg

Aury: Aha, wicked… and I`m glad we had Kokoro back there!
Kokoro: Oh, come on girls… *Blushes* It was nothing…
Aury: No, it was really impressive! You won that game yourself, you`re really good!
Crystal: Yeah, you even sacrificed yourself in the end with that checkmate, so that Aury could kill the King!
Kokoro: I… it was nothing… really, heheh…
Aury: Don`t be modest, haha… where are we anyway?
Crystal: We have to keep going, right?
Aury: Koko, can you use that ability you used before?
Kokoro: Yes, yes, I`m on it… *Closes her eyes and analyzing noises come out* Mhhhh…
Crystal: I still can`t believe her ability, and she never used it before…
Aury: That`s because she`s never been out of the ship, heh, the radar there is more powerful than hers…
Kokoro: Okay, we keep going a little… *Starts walking with her eyes closed, the other two follow*
Crystal: Ahaaaa…
Kokoro: Hmmmm… *Stops, eyes still closed* Okay, now… on the wall at our left, there should be a switch…
Crystal: *Points at the switch* Here it is!!
Kokoro: Don`t press it
Crystal: *With her finger on the switch* T… too late… *The floor under them opens up and they fall* Ahhhhhhh…!!
Aury: *Falling* Dammit, Crystaaaaaaaal---!!
Crystal: I`m sorryyyyyyy---!! *With a loud thud, they land on a soft surface in a dark area* Ow!!
Kokoro: Wow… that was surprisingly soft… what… is this, anyway?
Aury: It`s too dark, I can`t see anything… *Touches the thing they landed on* W… wait a second…! *The three of them are quickly ensnared by vines* What the…?!
Crystal: *Tries to free herself* What is this?! Lemme go…!!
Kokoro: It`s… it`s a plant!
Crystal: A plant?! *Looks at the vines* Oh. Yeah. Duh
Kokoro: Yes, it`s a plant, umm, what was its name…? *Tries to recall*
Aury: You know what this is…?! *Struggles, but the plant`s grip tightens*
Kokoro: Yes, yes, it was an… ummmm… a Devil`s Snare!!
Aury: Devil`s Snare? That`s what this plant`s called? You never cease to amaze me, Koko…
Crystal: Well, I don`t care about what it`s called! I care about how we can get outta here!! *Keeps moving frantically*
Kokoro: Wait, no, don`t move!
Crystal: That`s easy to say!

If you want the girls to keep struggling while moaning and get their clothes ripped off by the tentacle plant, press 1

If you want Kokoro to find a solution for the problem and set them free, press 2

If you want Crystal to say “Arriba!” and dance around the sombrero, press 3

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/TentacleC.jpg

…

You have pressed 2

Kokoro: No, really, don`t move girls! The Devil`s Snare will exert a greater force of constriction if you struggle!!
Crystal: What does that even mean?!
Aury: It means it will squish us harder!
Crystal: Oh *Stops*
Aury: What are we supposed to do then…?
Kokoro: Just stay calm, relax, and the plant will release you itself… *Kokoro lays down and closes her eyes, the plant slowly removes the vines from around her body and lets her go* There we go!
Crystal: Wow…
Kokoro: Now`s your turn! *Lana appears above the plant*
Lana: I`m afraid not
Crystal: Wha…?! *Surprised*
Aury: Who are you…?!
Lana: *Sigh* I`m not gonna go through all this again *Snaps her fingers and the vines around Auryen tighten more*
Aury: AGH!!
Lana: I`ll be taking this lovely lady with me, and I`ll let the plant finish you two off, okay?
Kokoro: Wait, what are you doing…?!
Lana: Aw man… I just said it…
Kokoro: Well, yeah… but…
Lana: But nothing, I have to go. The plant will take care of you now *Snaps her fingers and both her and Aury disappear*
Crystal: Wait, don`t go!! Dammit, she took Aury!! *Starts moving again*
Kokoro: No, no, don`t move! Remember what I said!
Crystal: To hell with that, she took Aury away! We gotta hurry!!
Kokoro: Shoot… she`s not gonna relax, we have to get rid of the plant instead…
Crystal: That would be a good idea! Nghhh… *Fights against the plant*
Kokoro: Let`s see, how to defeat it… Devil`s Snare, Devil`s snare… what did Professor Sprout say? It likes the dark and damp… I know, Crys, light a fire!
Crystal: Yes, of course… but there`s no wood!
Kokoro: HAVE YOU GONE MAD?! ARE YOU A MAGE OR NOT?!
Crystal: Oh, right! *Grabs her staff* INFERNO!! *Flames engulf the plant that quickly loosens her grip on Crystal and proceeds to die painfully*
Kokoro: Phew… that was close… but we made it…
Crystal: We made it? Are you nuts? She took Auryen!
Kokoro: Oh, damn, yeah! She must be a general, we must tell the others!
Crystal: I know, I know, just wait till I catch some air…

- Prison sector

Lana throws Auryen inside a cell, then closes the door
Auryen: Owch! *Grabs the bars* Let me go!
Lana: Can`t do that, sorry. Now, before taking you two to the Evil Lord, I gotta take care of your friends who are still out there
Auryen: Wait, did you say “You two”?
Lana: Yeah. Anyway, stay here, keep quiet, I`ll come back for you later
Auryen: What the hell are you talking about…?!
Lana: *Sigh* Seeya later… *Leaves*
Aury: Wait!! *Kicks the bars* [CENSORED]!!
Neo: *Standing behind her* Geez, girl, calm down, acting like a teen on the venting thread will get us nowhere…
Aury: *Turns around* Neo?!
Neo: That`s my name!
Aury: Neo, what are you doing here?
Neo: Well, the same thing as you I guess. Being captive
Aury: Haha, that`s funny. NOT
Neo: Chill… I was running away from a giant bubble with Len and Ceri, but it caught me and I ended up here… what about you?
Aury: A magic plant form Harry Potter captured me and that girl took me here, I wonder what happened to Koko and Crystal…
Neo: The girl`s called Lana, and she`s a general… but you probably figured that already
Aury: Yeah, no joke… *Walks around the cell* She was the one that set all those traps, right?
Neo: I don`t know… probably
Aury: She could move around the place and warp… she looks pretty powerful, too…
Neo: Well, she`s a ninja… you know all the stuff ninjas can do…
Aury: And our friends are all scattered around the place… they`re not together…
Neo: Aha, well…
Aury: I don`t know if they`ll be able to survive, Neo…
Neo: Hey, no, don`t say that…
Aury: I don`t know… I don`t know if they can make it… we… we rushed things by coming in here this way…
Neo: You have to trust them, Aury, they`re our friends. We can rely on them…
Aury: But look at us! We`re trapped here, we can`t do anything…!! We can`t go help them! We`re useless!
Neo: Aury, you`re not useless!
Aury: Yes I am! I couldn`t help her, and now I can`t help them! I`m useless… I couldn`t help her… I couldn`t do anything!!
Neo: Aury, calm down! Believe in yourself!
Aury: How can you tell me to calm down?! I can`t believe in myself!! Not after…!! *Neo quickly holds her in his arms, Aury opens her eyes surprised*
Neo: *Whispers* Then believe in me…
Aury: N… Neo…
Neo: Believe in me, who believes in you… *Gets closer*
Aury: *Half closes her eyes* Neo… you…
Neo: I believe in you

And their lips touched. Their eyes were closed and all they felt was each other`s warmth. For a second, there was no cell, there was no fortress, there was no Lord and there was no Apoliner. And there was no Evil, too. They were only certain of their existences and of what they wanted. Something that, luckily, seemed to coincide

Chapter 27: Kids with guns

Wow, well… Last chapter was something else, wasn`t it? Trying to reach the chamber of the Evil Lord, our heroes are assaulted by all kinds of wicked traps! But that`s not all, captains Neo and Spinaury were captured and are being held captive in the Prison sector, unable to assist their friends! But… you kind of… already knew all that, right? So… meh, whatever, I don`t know why I`m even doing this…

- West sector

Inside a huge room, Seras, Ewo, Ako, Crystal and Kokoro were having a really complicated battle against Lana, the trap master. Small walls were scattered all around the place, as if the room was designed specifically for this purpose…
Seras: *Sitting with her back against a wall* So, who is this ninja chick?
Kokoro: She`s one of the evil generals, she captured Aury a while ago…
Crystal: She captured her? Where was it, Koko?
Kokoro: You were there!!
Crystal: Oh… *Looks up* Right…
Seras: Wait, guys remember we just received a call from Lenore saying someone had captured Neo…?
Kokoro: Yeah, me too. She didn`t say if it was a girl?
Seras: No… she only said that it was a [CENSORED] [CENSORED] son of a [CENSORED]
Kokoro: It was probably her, too…
Ewoyn: *On one of the sides of the wall, shooting* She captured her? Like, took her away? *Lana throws a bomb near him and he takes shelter* Well, she`s definitely not trying to capture us!
Ako: Maybe they`re only trying to capture the captains *Reloading her Magnum*
Ewoyn: Pssh, they get special privileges?! *Shoots again* Dammit, what`s with this girl?! She keeps dodging!
Lana: *Vanishes and appears in midair* FUZZY BOMB!! *Throws three hairy bombs that stick to the ground and walls*
Ewoyn: *Opens eyes wide* Get down…!! *Everyone does so shortly before the bombs explode with an earth-shaking force*
Crystal: Cough… what was that…?!
Seras: *Peeks over the wall* She`s heavily armed… she doesn`t look like it…
Lana: Hrmmm… *Frowns and suddenly looks at Seras*
Seras: Oops! *Hides* She`s gonna bomb this place now
Ewoyn: I can`t even hit her once, I keep missi-- *Covers his mouth with his hands* I… I never thought I`d say that… I… *Gets depressed*
Crystal: Now, now… *Pets him* Ewo, you still have more DEX…
Ewoyn: I… snif… I… I do, don`t I…?
Crystal: Yeees… you still have more DEX *Smiles like a mother*
Ewoyn: Yes… yes… *Rocks back and forth* I have more DEX… I have more DEX…
Ako: *Whispers* But, if not even Ewo can hit her… we only have one way of stopping her. We have to attack at once, all five of us
Seras: Yes… you`re right, Ako, if we do that we might be able to outspeed her ninja agility…
Kokoro: B… but guys… I can`t fight, I mean…
Ewoyn: Use this *Hands her a gun*
Kokoro: A… a gun?!
Ewoyn: *Looks at the gun* Hmm… a gun, definitely
Kokoro: B… but I can`t use this! I… I mean…!
Ewoyn: You`ve never fired a gun before?
Kokoro: Of course not!!
Ewoyn: *Sigh* Kids these days… *Shows her the gun* Well, look, this here is the trigger, you pull it, and this is what you point at the person you want dead *Aims at her*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/homer_gun.jpg

Kokoro: Kyaaaaaa…!! *Gets scared and pushes the gun away, it lands near Lana*
Ewoyn: Hey, be more careful! I don`t have a hundred of those!
Kokoro: I… I`m sorry, I just…
Ewoyn: *Sigh* Here… *Pulls another one out of his pocket and hands it to her*
Kokoro: *Grabs it* I… I just get really nervous with these things…
Ewoyn: Don`t worry, girls like you can operate these very well
Kokoro: Y… yeah?
Ewoyn: Yup, I know. I`ve played Metal Slug
Lana: I`m getting tired… *Walking around the walls*
Seras: Okay, she`s gonna attack soon…
Ako: Yes, she will vanish before she does so, and then she will reappear. When she does that, this is what we`re gonna do…

- Subspace Emissary`s bridge

The crew of the ship was hanging out in the bridge, without their captain, of course…
Athemis: Psh… *Looking at her whisphone, frustrated* They said they`d call…
Seph: Well, they did… I mean, you saw what happened to the Apoliner
Magi: Yeah, if Aury hadn`t called we wouldn`t even know if they survived that crash…
Athemis: Yeah, but that was a while ago, and they didn`t call after that! It`s been a million years since they crashed!
Naimh: *Sitting in front of her radars* Um, not really. Merely a couple of hours…
Athemis: Grrrr, whatever… they still left us behind…
Seph: Come on, Ath… they need backup, we can`t all just barge in there and expect everything to go smoothly
Magi: I`m sure they`re having a rough time in there… and that that`s why they aren`t calling
Seph: Yeah, they`re probably busy. Calm down, Ath…
Athemis: Grrrr… I can`t, I still haven`t shown the audience my true power!
Seph: Audience?
Athemis: Yeah, the readers
Seph: The readers… what are you talking about?
Naimh: Athemis, don`t go on…
Athemis: What, you guys don`t know? This is a story that…
Naimh: Stop right there *Stands up*
Athemis: A story that`s being written in the Fiesta forums by…
Naimh: *Grabs her arm* Athemis, shut up right now or I`m gonna have to close your thread, erm, I mean, your mouth
Athemis: No! You can`t silence me!! *Points at the camera* There`s people out there! I know there`s people out there…!! *Naimh and Seph seize her and tie her to a chair*
Magi: H… hey, Nai! Your panel is bleeping!
Naimh: *Finishes tying Ath* Oh yeah? Lemme see… *Sits in her panel again* Wh… what is… this?
Magi: What does it say? You know I can`t read anything here…
Naimh: I… it says there`s a ship near us…
Seph: A ship…? *Gets near them*
Naimh: Yes, a ship we`ve never seen before…
Athemis: Hey, I wanna see!! *Tries to move the chair* I WANT TO SEE!!
Seph: Wh… where is it…?
Naimh: I… it is… *Scared, lifts her face from the radars and points to the window* There…
Magi: Oh my god… *An enormous black ship was passing just beside them, going towards the fortress* It`s huge…
Athemis: *Can`t see* RELEASE ME AT ONCE!!
Seph: That thing is twice as big as our ship…!
Naimh: Um, no it isn`t?
Seph: You know what I meant…
Magi: It`s going towards the fortress! What the hell is that ship?!
Naimh: I have no idea…
Seph: Hey… *Can`t take her eyes off the ship* We`d better tell the guys…
Naimh: Huh… huh? Oh yeah! Yeah, we have to tell them! I`ll call the captain *Takes out her whisphone* That thing is serious business…

- Southeast sector

Lana is walking along a passageway when… wait a second, wasn`t Lana fighting Seras and the others? The plot thickens…
Lana: Hm? *A whisphone in her pocket starts ringing* Heh, I knew I had to remove their phones… this is the one that belonged to the girl… *Answers and speaks with Aury`s voice, like Terminator* Yes?
Naimh: Captain, captain is that you?
Lana: Yes, of course, why wouldn`t I be me?
Naimh: Captain, we were just passed by a huge ship that`s directed to the fortress, it`s a ship we haven`t seen before!
Lana: *Opens eyes wide* Another ship? *Thinks* What the hell?!
Naimh: Yes, I definitely haven`t seen this ship before!
Lana: O… okay… can you describe it?
Naimh: Well… it`s definitely bigger than our ship and the Apoliner… it`s black…
Lana: *To herself* The Shadow Shadowness…
Naimh: Excuse me…?
Lana: Oh, no, nothing! Nothing, nothing. Anyway, thanks for telling me, umm… you
Naimh: Can you tell the others? Want me to call them?
Lana: NO! No, sorry, no. I`ll tell them, you don`t worry
Naimh: Are you sure?
Lana: Yes. Don`t worry. Don`t call any of them. I`ll tell them
Naimh: Okay… how are things over there?
Lana: Here? Pffft, we`re fine. Everything`s going perfect
Naimh: That`s good… please, be careful captain
Lana: Heh, you needn`t worry… just leave it to me… *Hangs up* She was talking about the Shadow Shadowness, but what the heck is that thing doing outside the hangar?! And who`s piloting?! *Keeps walking* Tch…
Knivy: Hiiiyaaaaahhh…!! *Throws a knife that almost hits Lana from behind*
Lana: Wha…?! *Turns around, only to see Lenore was almost on top of her*
Lenore: 1GIRL1HAMMER…!! *Unleashes a vertical blow that Lana dodges*
Lana: Hngh… *There`s a small line of blood coming from her forehead* How did you sneak up on me…?!
Ceri: *Standing behind them with Atoli and Juneau* Ninja skills can be passed on, my dear. I`ve trained these four grasshoppers
Knivy: Now we`re an elite ninja team! *Poses*
Lenore: And we`re gonna kick your [CENSORED] [CENSORED]!! *Poses*
Lana: No, seriously, how did you do it?!
Ceri: You should know more than anyone that a ninja never reveals their secrets!
Juneau: Ceri, I think you`re thinking about magicians
Ceri: Whatever. Get ready guys, ninjas don`t cry
Juneau: Um, Ceri… I think you`re talking about big girls
Ceri: Mhhh… *Frowns like Marge at June*
Juneau: Okay, sorry, sorry…
Lana: *Sigh* Well, you just saved me the trouble of looking for you… *Gets ready to fight* I have to eliminate each one of you…
Atoli: As IF! *Aims*
Lenore: Wait! Before anyone does anything, we have questions for you… *Points at Lana with her hammer*
Lana: I`m deeply sorry, but I have no answers for you…
Lenore: Where did you take Neo?!
Lana: I can`t tell you *Shrugs*
Lenore: Are you the one who captured Auryen?!
Lana: Maybe I did, maybe I didn`t
Lenore: Where is the Evil Lord?!
Lana: Error 404 Page not found
Lenore: YOU`RE [CENSORED] ME OFF!!
Ceri: You`re done, Len?
Lenore: LET`S GO!! *Lana gets ready to take on the five Apoliners*

- North sector

Nam and Zappy were walking along a passage very similar to the one seen in the previous scene
Nam: Man, I can`t believe we made it through that!
Zappy: O RLY
Nam: If we hadn`t found these miniguns lying around, we`d be dead by now!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/GE_XM214_Minigun-2.jpg

Zappy: EPIC WIN! *Suddenly, a massive spherical rock falls behind them*
Nam: Wha…?!
Zappy: OMG
Nam: No… no, no, no… *The rock starts rolling towards them* No, no, no, no, no, this can`t be happening… *They start running, the rock dangerously rolling towards them at increasing speed, Indiana Jones style* WHY ME…?!
Zappy: *Running by his side* LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

- West sector

Ako: …that`s the plan, okay?
Crystal: You sure took your time to explain it
Seras: Shhh… *Peeking* She doesn`t know where we are but she`s getting closer…
Lana: Oh guuuys~ Where might you be~? *Walking around the small barricades* Come out and plaaay~?
Kokoro: *Closes her eyes and whispers* She`s checking the walls in front of us… she`ll get to this one in… thirty seconds…
Ako: Excellent…
Kokoro: … wait, she stopped!
Lana: Argh… let`s make this easier… *Makes a hand seal* Henge! *Turns into Inoue Orihime* Guuuuys~

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Orihime.jpg

Seras: *Peeking* Pfffft, she`s gonna need more than that if she wants to pinpoint our location…
Ewoyn: *Can`t see her* What did she do?
Seras: Oh, she just turned into an anime chick
Ewoyn: Describe her…
Seras: She just has a big chest, long orange hair, umm… a couple of hairpins and… hey, Ewo! Ewo, where are you going?!
Ewoyn: *Peeks* OH-MY-GOD *Stands up* I`m sorry… but I have to go
Ako: No way!
Crystal: *Grabs him* You`re staying here with us!!
Ewoyn: *Struggles* Let me go!!
Seras: *Holding onto him* Dammit, weren`t you a girl a couple of chapters ago?!
Lana: *Hears a ruckus behind one of the walls* There you are…!! *Vanishes and appears in midair with the bombs* FUZZY…!!
Ako: NOW!!! *Ewo, Crystal, Koko and Seras come out and start shooting a rain of bullets at her*
Kokoro: Give her hell…!!
Seras: *Looks at Kokoro* Hey, well done!
Lana: Pffftt, too slow! *Vanishes again as Koko closes her eyes*
Kokoro: Third wall from the left!!
Lana: *Appears where Kokoro said* Now you`ll…!!
Ako: Take this…!! *Jumps behind Lana and cuts her in half with a blow of her axe*
Crystal: Yeah, success…!!
Kokoro: Phew… *Drops her gun* I`m glad it worked… and I`m surprised I could read her movements even though they were so fast…
Ewoyn: Where`s Inoue…?
Ako: Heheh… I knew she`d dodge the bullets, I just had to know where she`d appear in order to strike *Cleans her axe* Now… *Both halves of Lana turn into a brown soft mass* What?!
Crystal: Whoa…!! *Gets closer to Ako* What happened to her…? And… what is that?
Seras: *Gets closer* Hmmm… *Kneels and sinks her finger in the mass, then licks it. Yeah, she licks her finger. Fanservice, guys!!* Nutella…
Ewoyn: Where`s Inoue…?!
Crystal: Did you just say Nutella?!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/nutella.jpg

Seras: Yes… this is Nutella… this wasn`t the real Lana, it was a Nutellabunshin
Kokoro: A clone? Then the real one is still out there… the others are in danger!!
Ewoyn: *Starts shooting at the ceiling* NEO PROMISED ME AN INOUE, WHERE IS MY INOUE…??!!

Chapter 28: Lag

Things are getting complicated inside the infamous fortress as our heroes strive to reach the chamber of the Evil Lord! Ako and her group managed to defeat Lana, the trap master and last remaining evil general… only to find that it was only a clone made of Nutella. The real Lana is a bit far from there, and she just picked a fight! … and what the heck are Neo and Aury doing?!

- Southeast sector

Lana: *Throws a couple of hairy bombs* Fuzzy bombs!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Lana.jpg

Lenore: *Dodges to the side* Don`t you get tired of that trick? *Lunges at her* Hyaaaaaahhh…!! *Hits her hard with her hammer* Yeah…! *Realizes she hit a tree trunk* What the…?
Lana: *Appears behind her* Don`t you get tired of getting tired? *Kicks her in the waist*
Lenore: Aaaaarrghh…! *Falls on her knees* Dammit, you…
Ceri: Lenore! *Stands in front of her* Enough bad language for today!
Lenore: But the chapter just started!
Ceri: *Ignores her* Knivy, Ato, triangle formation!
Atoli: Yes!
Knivy: Uhum! *Nods*
Lana: Oh, please… *The three of them quickly form a triangle around her*
Atoli: *Makes a few hand seals* Suiton! Daibakufu no jutsu!! *Opens her mouth and releases an enormous beam of water*
Lana: Huh…?! *Surprised*
Knivy: *Makes two seals* Katon! Goukakyuu no jutsu!! *Opens his mouth and spits a huge ball of fire*
Lana: And you call yourself ninjas?! *Dissappears*
Ceri: Oh yes we do! *Appears just behind where Lana teleports to and hugs her from behind* Long gone are the days in which ninjas dressed in black and were silent! *Spins and slams her against the ground* OMOTE RENGEEEE---!!
Atoli: Yeah, good job!!
Lana: *Gets up* Ugh… but you`re… dressed in black…
Knivy: *Poses* Yeah, she is!
Lenore: *Poses* But not us…!!
Juneau: *Poses* And still, we are…!!
All of them: REAL NINJAS!!!
Ceri: Buh-leeeeeeeve it…!! *Points at Lana*
Lana: Tch, you make me sick… *Starts loading energy in her hands*
Lenore: Awww, is the serious girl loosing her cool?
Lana: No, you`re just making me sick *Keeps loading pink energy* You and your stupid fake ninja skills…
Ceri: How dare you call our skills fake when we`re about to finish you? *Grips a kunai*
Lana: About to finish me? Please, don`t make me laugh, it`ll ruin the character *Materializes a couple of hairy dice in her hands* You`re the ones about to be finished, seeing as you gave me time to craft these two beauties…
Juneau: Shoot, I knew those tremendous amounts of growing energy around her hands weren`t something good…
Lenore: What are those, anyway? They look like the kind of thing a trucker would hang from his front mirror…
Ceri: I have a bad feeling about this…
Lana: Well, you`d be right to have it *Juggles the dice* These beauties are gonna put you down! *Throws them in the air* FAJII SAIKORO!!

Atoli: Watch out!
Knivy: Everybody down!! *Everyone takes cover, but nothing happens* Huh?
Juneau: What…? *Gets up, the dice were floating in the air in front of them* What do those do?
Lana: Why ask, when you can just sit there and watch?
Ceri: Hmm… *Throws her kunai at one of them, the kunai melts after touching it* Oops… *The dice starts growing* Whoa…
Lenore: Wh… why is it growing?
Ceri: I… I don`t know, heh…
Lenore: Why`d you throw that thing at it?!
Ceri: I… I just wanted to see what happened! *The dice keeps growing*
Lenore: Well, now that thing`s gonna melt us all…!!
Lana: Bingo! Fajii Saikoro, the fuzzy dice… *Smirks* My final technique… *Snaps her fingers and the other dice starts growing too*

- North sector

Nam and Zappy continue their unfortunate adventures running from the big boulder
Nam: Zappy, we won`t be able to outrun this rock, we gotta do something!
Zappy: WAT
Nam: I don`t know, something! Anything! *Runs faster*
Zappy: kk lol *Takes out his minigun and opens a hole in the wall beside them*
Nam: Hey, well done…! *They both enter the new gap* We`ll be safe in here!
Zappy: LOL AWSM?
Nam: Yeah! Man, I thought I was a goner… *The rock stops right in front of the gap* H… huh?
Zappy: WTH *The rock starts making Transformers noises and transforming*
Nam: Oh no… not this, no… no, no… this isn`t happening, no, no, no… *The rock turns into Megatron* You can`t be serious!!

- Southeast sector

Juneau: Damn, we gotta run!
Lenore: No! [CENSORED], we can`t run!! We`re so close!!
Juneau: Those things will kill us if we get near her!
Lenore: Dammit!!
Lana: Hah, I guess running would be the best thing to do, yes… not that it`ll do any good, those`ll start growing at a faster pace… *Walking backwards*
Lenore: [CENSORED] NO! We can`t run from this [CENSORED]!
Ceri: Ummm… I have an idea…
Lenore: Really? Well do it!
Ceri: It`s risky, but we don`t have much time…
Lenore: Seriously, whatever it is, do it!!
Ceri: Yeah, it`d have to be now while the dice are still kinda small…
Lenore: Do it, for [CENSORED]`s sake, do whatever it is you have to do!!
Ceri: Okay, okay, I`m on it! *Bits her thumb and draws blood* Kuchiyose no jutsu!! *Slams her hand against the ground and an enormous toad appears under her, completely destroying the passageway around it, since it was way bigger*

Lana: *Staring at the humongous amphibian* You gotta be kidding me…
Frog: That`s what I should be saying, you gotta be kidding me, Cerisa!!
Ceri: I`m sorry, but we kinda need your help right now…
Toad: Why`d you summon me at this time?! You know that at this time I…!
Ceri: Man, you do that all the time
Toad: Well, I`m a toad! That`s what I do!
Ceri: I`m sure your wife`s laid enough eggs for today, please, help us!!
Lenore: You summoned a [CENSORED] toad…
Ceri: Shhh! *Whispers* Len, don`t talk like that, you`re gonna upset him!
Toad: What did this human just say?!
Ceri: Nothing, nothing! Please, we need you to get rid of those dice!
Toad: Aha…
Ceri: Everyone knows that there`s nothing harder than a toad`s stomach!
Lenore: Uh, really?
Ceri: You mean you`re aussie and you don`t know it?
Lenore: Well, um…
Toad: Fine, fine… *Sticks his tongue out and swallows the dice* That it?
Lana: No…
Atoli: *Opens eyes wide* That thing just…
Juneau: Ate the bombs…?!
Knivy: Meh, I`m not impressed…
Toad: Well, anything else?!
Lana: My… fuzzy dice… my perfect masterpiece… of explosives… *Stands hopeless in front of the huge animal*
Ceri: Could you take care of the girl too?
Toad: *Sigh* Cerisa, you know humans give me stomachaches, they wiggle too much…
Ceri: Oh, pretty please! It`s the last thing I`ll ask!
Toad: Argh, man, as long as I get to go home… *Sticks out his tongue again and swallows Lana* Ungh… ack!
Juneau: Oh my god…
Toad: Ack, I wish she was made of something tastier…
Ceri: Yeah, like what? Nutella? Stop dreaming
Toad: Gah, whatever… I`ll be going now, and don`t bother me again for a long time, got it?! *Dissappears*
Lenore: Well, um… what the hell was that?
Ceri: Yeah, um… we ninjas… can summon… giant toads, I guess I forgot to mention that
Atoli: I still can`t believe it… what… the thing ate her…
Ceri: Well, she`s not dead yet
Atoli: Oh, no?
Ceri: No, but she will soon, when the gastric juices melt her
Atoli: Oh…
Lenore: I`m kinda speechless too, but I`m glad we got rid of her. Now we gotta hurry and meet up with the others!
Knivy: Yeah, they called before but we couldn`t answer…
Lenore: I think we covered every area except the central one
Juneau: There`s a central area?
Lenore: Yeah
Juneau: And why didn`t we check it out before?
Lenore: I have no idea, Juny *Smiles at the camera* I have noooooo idea… *Winks*

- Evil Lord`s chamber

Neo and Aury were lying on the ground, unconscious, everything was dark…
Neo: Ungh… *Starts waking up* Argh… where… *Looks around* Ugh… *Sits on the floor* This place… *Notices Aury next to him and tries to wake her up* Aury… hey Aury, wake up…
Aury: Hngh… *Rolls around* Silly Bowser…
Neo: Aury, wake up… *Shakes her*
Aury: *Talking asleep* You can haaaaaaave…
Neo: Aury, wake up dammit!
Aury: *Gets up abruptly* MY BIG GAY DANCE!!
Neo: Waahh!! *Startled* Don`t do that!
Aury: Hah… hah… *Recovers breath* Hngh…? *Looks around* Neo…?
Neo: You seriously need to cut down on how much Brawl you play…
Aury: Where… *Rubs her eyes* Where are we…?
Neo: I… I don`t know… someone brought us here…
Aury: Ungh, my head hurts…
Neo: It always does…
Aury: Hey!
Neo: What? It does!
Aury: *Sigh* Anyway… we were at the… prison, right? I can`t remember quite well…
Neo: Yeah… *Tries to remember* We were at the prison… and we were…
Aury: Yeah, we were… *They both open their eyes wide and look at each other*
Neo: Wait, we…
Aury: Oh my… *They both blush furiously and look away*
Neo: Well, um, I…
Aury: *Crosses arms, looking at the wall* Don`t get any funny ideas, I… I just wanted to distract myself!
Neo: *Puts hands in pockets* Oh… oh yeah? Well, me too! And you were the only one around, I actually think you`re kinda ugly!
Aury: *Turns around* Pffftt, as if! You talk as if you weren`t so clingy and trying to get my attention all the time!
Neo: What?! Oh, and I suppose that`s a bad thing? Well, if you actually paid attention instead of minding your own business I… I…
Aury: Y… yeah? You what?
Neo: I… I think I lov… *A voice interrupts them*
Evil Lord: Oh please, spare me the romantic comedy… what are you, Ben Stiller and Jennifer Anniston?
Neo: I wish…
Aury: WHAT?!
Neo: Just kidding, dear *The lights turn on, and they can see the Evil Lord standing in front of his throne*
Evil Lord: I finally get to meet you in person… Captain Neo… Captain Spinaury…
Aury: You…!
Neo: You must be… the Evil Lord!
Evil Lord: That`s what most people call me, yes…
Aury: You… *Staring at him with fire in her eyes* You [CENSORED]…
Evil Lord: I`ve summoned you two here for a reason…
Aury: I spit on your reason!! *Starts running towards him* Hiiyaaaaahh…!!
Neo: Aury, don`t!!
Evil Lord: Hm… *Extends a hand towards her, creating a force that sends her flying away*
Aury: Argh! *Hits the wall*
Evil Lord: Please, captain… I`m trying to make conversation here…
Aury: I… *Gets up* I have nothing to converse with you…
Neo: Aury, calm down, please…
Aury: No way, are you going to just sit there, Neo?! We can take him on!
Neo: I… don`t think so, heh…
Aury: Neo!!
Neo: *Cautious* I really think we should listen first, Aury…
Aury: You can listen all you like, I`m going to fight!! *Runs at him again*
Evil Lord: *Sigh* If you`re not gonna behave, then I`m gonna have to do this… *Extends his hand again and both Neo and Aury freeze on the spot*
Aury: H… huh…? I… can`t move…
Neo: Neither can… I… and my voice… it`s so hard… to speak…
Aury: What… in the world…
Evil Lord: Is this? This is my power… *Opens hand* Lag *Clenches fist*
Neo: Lag…? You mean…
Evil Lord: I have the power to control Lag
Aury: Can`t… be…
Evil Lord: *Starts walking around* Can`t be, you say? Well, after all, I am the master of all that is evil in this game… and, what would you say is the most evil thing in this place?

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/final-fantasy-dissidia-200709200355.jpg

Neo: *Opens his eyes slowly* Lag…
Evil Lord: That`s right… but anyway, that`s not what I wanted to talk about. First, I wanted to congratulate you both for getting this far…
Aury: Congratulate…?
Evil Lord: Yes. I made sure it wasn`t easy, I know all you`ve been through
Neo: You bet… you were putting all those… guys against us… to prevent us form getting… to… you… ungh… talking like this hurts…
Evil Lord: But I knew I wouldn`t stop you, I knew you`d get here anyway, no matter what I did
Aury: What… are you talking… about?
Evil Lord: Because you being here today at this time was bound to happen, it was written…
Aury: What… are you talking… about…?
Evil Lord: It`s your destiny

Chapter 29: The legendary wars between good and evil that took place back in time

Last chapter we left our heroes Neo and Auryen in the chamber of none other than the Evil Lord himself! After revealing that his power consisted in manipulating lag, evil in its most pure form, the Evil Lord apparently has something important to say… will the rest of the crew make it in time?

- Evil Lord`s chamber

Neo: Our destiny? Is that the best thing you can come up with? Destiny? That`s by far the most boring cliché I`ve ever seen in…
Evil Lord: You`re supposed to be suffering from the lag
Neo: Oh… oh… yeah… well… there you… go…
Aury: What… do you… mean… our destiny…?
Evil Lord: You shall see soon enough, as soon as your friends arrive
Neo: H… huh…?
Evil Lord: Yes, you must all be together in order to understand…
Aury: So you… are not going to just…
Evil Lord: Kill you? Things are more complicated than you think, captains, huhuh… they aren`t just black and white as you are used to seeing them
Neo: Yes… they are
Evil Lord: No, you`re wrong. Your monochromatic sense of justice doesn`t let you see clearly, but don`t worry, because I am going to make you see
Aury: Y… you won`t make us… see anything… you b… bas…
Evil Lord: Ah, here they are… *The door bursts open and the rest of the Apoliner crew storms in*
Ako: Hereeeeeee`s Ako!! *Holds her axe menacingly*

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/lozer_hoodz/th150px-The_shining_heres_johnny.jpg

Neo: G… guys!! *Realizes he can talk normally*
Aury: *Looks at Neo* The lag is… lifted…
Lenore: Neo!! And Aury, you`re both here!! *Runs up to them* Are you okay?
Neo: Yeah, we`re fine… *Gets up*
Ewoyn: And you… *Points* Must be the Evil Lord… *Glares*
Evil Lord: Indeed, welcome, heroes of Isya
Crystal: Hey, that sounds pretty cool… *Smiles*
Seras: Cut the [CENSORED], we`re just here to finish you off so that things can go just as they were going before you and your stupid fortress appeared!
Evil Lord: I`m afraid I can`t let you do that until I`ve had a chat with all of you
Juneau: A chat…?
Nam: No freaking way, I didn`t go through all that [CENSORED] out there to have a chat!
Zappy: QFT *Veryangrysurprisedface*
Ako: Yeah, we`re not falling for that…!! *Runs towards the Evil Lord with her axe*
Neo: Ako, don`t…!! He can control lag!!
Ako: He can WHAT?! *The Lord extends his hand and opens it, Ako freezes in its place*
Ceri: Oh my… what did he just…?
Atoli: She`s not moving at all!
Aury: Yes… he has the power of using lag the way he wants…
Lenore: What the…
Neo: There`s nothing we can do but listen, for now…
Aury: *Gives Neo a harsh look* Yes… apparently so
Evil Lord: I`m glad we agree *Lowers his hand and Ako falls to the ground*
Ako: *Almost scared* What was that…? I… everything just… stood still… but I still could feel and…
Knivy: *Kneels besides Ako* It`s okay Ako, don`t worry…
Evil Lord: So… *Turns around* Let me hear it… why are you here today?
Seras: I thought I said it already. We`re gonna defeat you *Clenches her fist*
Neo: So that we can end all you`ve put our server… no, our game, all you`ve put it through!
Evil Lord: So you think that by killing me, everything will end?
Aury: We`re pretty sure of it. And even if it won`t, there`s no harm in trying *Glares fiercely*
Evil Lord: You`re all so determined… none of you understand anything…
Lenore: Shut the [CENSORED] up!! *Seizes her hammer*
Evil Lord: Violence is the nature of every player… all beings are “Evil”, if that`s the word you want to use to describe the natural state in which players arrive in this world *Walks around* Everyone is like that… this place is hell
Neo: That`s not…!
Evil Lord: I don`t see how you can deny this fact when this place is full of false people, liars, violence, hatred… people looking at the misfortune of others and laughing… laughing at them, rejoicing in the woe of others…
Kokoro: Not everyone is like that
Evil Lord: No, players like you all choose not to abide by this rule, to go against your very own nature… which is unforgivable and must be punished at all costs *Clenches fist* As I said, destiny brought you here today
Ewoyn: Destiny, huh?
Aury: Yeah, he`s been talking about destiny before…
Seras: I don`t believe that [CENSORED]
Evil Lord: Funny how you don`t, Seras… because I`m about to show you all something that might interest you… *Opens his arms and an energy ball starts forming in the center of the chamber* You think this is the first time this happens?
Crystal: The first time what happens?
Evil Lord: “Good” and “Evil” have been at war since the beginning of time… their eternal struggle took many forms… *The ball forms completely, and it starts engulfing the whole room* And this digital world we live in is no exception…
Ceri: What is this thing? *Stumbles back*
Evil Lord: Don`t worry, as I said, I just want to show you something…

FLASHBACK

- Subspace Emissary`s bridge

Lana: Ummm… *Sitting in front of the radars* Eon, you better come see this…
Eon: Yes? *Stands beside Lana* What`s up, Lana?
Lana: Look *Points* We`re really close to the fortress, what do you think we should do?

Aury: H… huh? T… that`s my ship!
Neo: Ye… yeah, but…
Knivy: Shhh, I can`t listen!
Lenore: Who`s that guy Eon, though? I`ve never seen him before
Evil lord: That`s me…

Kitone: *Appears behind Lana* I say we go full force and attack!! Let`s crush that Evil Lord once and for all! *Clenches fist*
Eirlyn: Heh, yeah *Sarcastic* I`m sure he won`t be expecting that…
Kitone: Aw, come on… you know I`m not good with tactics and stuff, Eir…
Sereno: That`s why we can`t let a beast like you handle these situations, Kitone, oh-ho-ho-ho~
Kitone: Agh, oh well… *Shrugs* I`ll leave the planning to you then
Razmiran: We`ll try not to keep you waiting, hahaha~
Mrew: Oh come on, it`s not like we didn`t have enough problems with all those evil generals…
Fury: Yeah, some of them were really tough…
Eon: *Looks out of the window* But we`re so close… *The fortress was closer than ever* We can`t afford to make mistakes now
Eirlyn: Yes… *Looks the same way* We`re finally gonna finish this once and for all
Kitone: For our justice!!

Crystal: I… I don`t understand…
Ceri: Neither do I…
Juneau: I don`t think any of us does… this looks like… a cheap fan-fic
Evil Lord: Heheh…

Eon: Are we ready for the infiltration?
Lana: Well, I`m not sure if our main engine is fixed yet… remember it was damaged during our last battle
Fury: Yeah, we need it in top shape for the cloaking device to work properly
Eon: I sent her to fix it a couple of hours ago, but… *A familiar figure appears in the door, wearing the generous set of clothes we guys know and love*
Seras: It`s fixed *Walks inside and stands beside the radars* It wasn`t easy, I`m sick of repairing stuff… *Cleans her forehead*
Eon: Are you sure?
Seras: *Glares* Eon, who the hell do you think I am?!
Eon: Hey, sorry, sorry, I was just making sure! We gotta be cautious
Seras: Well, you take care of your stuff and I`ll take care of mine, hm?

Zappy: WAT
Nam: That`s Seras…?
Neo: *Eyes wide open* What in the world… *Looks at Seras* Seras! What are you doing in there?!
Seras: *Looks helpless as she watches herself* I… I don`t know… I…

Razmiran: So, uhhh… are we ready?
Kitone: Yeah, I`m tired of this! *Grabs her sword* Let`s go! D`you agree, captain?
Eon: I told you not to call me that…
Kitone: Aha, that`s why I do it! Heheh
Sereno: We shouldn`t waste more time, my dears~ Evil waits for no one~
Mrew: Let`s go over the plan once more…
Eirlyn: It`s easy, we just have to get in the fortress, find the Evil Lord, and finish him
Fury: And we`ll rid our beloved server from this!
Eon: *Points forward* Let`s go!!

END OF FLASHBACK

Lenore: Wh… whoa… *Surprised*
Ewoyn: What was that…? Talk about a déjà vu….
Evil Lord: I`m sure that now you`re all dying for an explanation, aren`t you…?
Kokoro: So you were the captain of the Subspace Emissary in the past… there was a war… just like the one we`ve been through…
Neo: But then, the crew… the crew of the Emissary, in the past…
Ako: They`re the evil generals we`ve been fighting since all this started! And they weren`t evil, then!
Evil Lord: Good, good… you`re solving the puzzle…
Aury: I still don`t understand… you were that guy Eon, the captain? Why are you the Evil Lord? Why did you do all that things you did…?!
Nam: And what was Seras doing there?!
Evil Lord: The everlasting battle between good and evil takes many shapes… but they all have one thing in common, they develop in cycles, they repeat themselves…
Lenore: Could you please drop the [CENSORED] cryptic metaphors and talk in [CENSORED] english?!
Evil Lord: Years ago, before becoming what I am now, I was Eon, a fighter, a simple player like any of you. I went on an adventure with my friends and the Subspace Emissary to stop the Evil Lord who had awakened. We had to fight the evil generals and make our way to the fortress… just like you did
Aury: And?!
Evil Lord: We succeeded, we were fighting for our sense of justice, we were naïve… we didn`t know anything. In the end, we found ourselves standing before the Evil Lord himself, just like you are now… and we found out that it was all in vain, we discovered a secret… a horrible secret
Neo: What was it, dammit!!
Evil Lord: Evil can not be killed… Evil is eternal, Evil is a part of us… Evil can`t die
Seras: Huh…
Evil Lord: We fought the Evil Lord… and we won, we defeated him. But after we did, Evil, Evil itself, the force known as Evil took over us, it needed a new vessel, it needed someone to carry on its legacy… and he took us, me and my crew… transforming me into the Evil Lord…
Aury: That can`t be…
Evil Lord: We tried to fight it, but it was useless, Evil is almighty. We came to realize how wrong we had been, but it was too late… we had already changed. Everyone lost their memory except me, because I was the one who was supposed to use that knowledge to our advantage…
Ako: Then why didn`t you…?
Evil Lord: We hadn`t killed Evil, but we had weakened it, after entering our hearts, Evil fell asleep, waiting for the day in which its power was complete again… that day, it would wake up, and it would try to take over Isya once more… but there would always be heroes willing to stop this, representing Evil`s opposition… “Good”… and here you are… history repeats itself…
Seras: Yes… it`s all coming back…
Neo: Seras!
Seras: It`s all true… I… I was there, I…
Evil Lord: You`re a survivor from those times. You managed to escape Evil in the last minute, Seras… I remember… but you still lost your memory… something I am giving back to you now
Lenore: So you participated in that war years ago, Seras… that`s why you were so determined, that`s why you knew stuff!
Seras: *Grabs her head* Yes… gosh, yes… I…
Juneau: Wh… what about the Apoliner… where does it come from? I didn`t see it there…
Evil Lord: I`m glad you asked… I still haven`t showed you everything… *Opens his arms and the room is engulfed in the flashback ball again* Before I became captain of the Subspace Emissary, there was another legendary war…

FLASHBACK

- Apoliner`s bridge

Katey: There it is! *Points outside of the ship`s huge window*
Icchi: *Stands beside her* Ahhh, the evil fortress… finally, huh?
Brien: Hell yeah, after all we`ve been through…
One: Okay guys, there`s no time to waste now! We gotta act fast before they have a chance to counter us!
Icchi: Well said! Whippu!!

Knivy: This is the original crew of the Apoliner…?
Atoli: This happened years before what we just saw, right…?

One: First, we need to cover our entrance *Points* Aurzel, please make sure you fire the Lolcano Blasters to create a diversion, hopefully, they won`t notice us disembarking
Aurzel: Yes sir! *Stays still* Hey, wait a minute… *Looks at his hands* … I`m… I`m… I`m in the story!! *Excited* Oh my god, he put me in the story!! I`m in Apoliner!! *Starts jumping around* OH MY [CENSORED] GOD, I`M IN THE STORY, I AM IN THE [CENSORED] STORY!!! I MADE IT TO THE STORY, I`M HERE, IN THE STORY!!!

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc155/Kabezosky/daffy.jpg

One: Wow, chill… anyway, once we`re inside the fortress, we`ll need to move quickly, we`ll need someone to clear the way if we want to do that, I`m sure the place is full of traps
Katey: Yeah, the radars indicate an important amount of explosives inside the fortress…
One: Aha, I`m leaving that to the twins *Points to a pair of girls* Hara and Shanna, think you can handle it?
Harachou: Of course, One, y`know there`s nobody faster than us!
Shannarou: We won`t let you down, heheh~ *Winks*
One: I think we`ll be good with that… The Evil Lord won`t even know what hit him!
Aurzel: I DON`T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIT ME! I MEAN, OH MY FREAKING GOD!! *Touches his face* I`M HERE, IN THE STORY, AND, AND, AND… OH MY GOD!!!
Icchi: *Grabs Aurzel* Okay, calm down. We better act before he`s unable to operate the cannons
One: I agree… let`s do this, this ship shall be our shining star!

END OF FLASHBACK

Neo: So… yeah… that guy, One, turned into the Evil Lord, right? He was the one you defeated
Evil Lord: Indeed…
Kokoro: And now we see why the Subspace Emissary has better technology compared to the Apoliner… it`s from a recent war… while the Apoliner is old…
Aury: Y… yeah… I hadn`t thought of that…
Ceri: Basically, what you`re trying to say, is that this is gonna happen again, right? We`ll defeat you, and Evil`s gonna take over us, creating a new Evil Lord and new generals, isn`t that so?
Evil Lord: More or less… because this time, we have a problem… *Points to Neo and Aury*
Neo: Huh?
Aury: What?
Evil Lord: We have two captains… and there can only be one Evil Lord… *Slowly draws his sword* The captain is the only one who can inherit that title… and we have two…
Neo: Wait a second…
Aury: That means…
Evil Lord: There can only be one… and I`ll have to do some cleaning…

Chapter 30: The person that matters most

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god… the tension, the suspense, the revelations… you probably already know, but during the previous chapter, after telling our heroes the story of the cyclic wars between good and evil players that took place before this one and the evil generals involved in them, the Evil Lord makes a dreadful announcement…

- Evil Lord`s chamber

Evil Lord: We have to captains… *Looks at Neo and Aury* And there can be only one Evil Lord… *Slowly withdraws his sword*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Dissidia_Garland_ex.png

Neo: Wait a second…
Aury: That means…
Evil Lord: It means I`ll have to do some cleaning… *Lifts his enormous sword* There can only be one…
Ewoyn: You`ve gotta be kidding me… you`re saying that you`re gonna let us kill you because that`s how things are supposed to be… but that before that, you need to kill one of them…?!
Evil Lord: My only purpose in this story is to make sure the prophecy lives on, I have a legacy to maintain
Neo: Well, you sure are talking as if one of us was already dead! *Battle stance*
Ako: And we`re not gonna stand here just watching!
Lenore: You can bet your metallic [CENSORED] we won`t!! *Points her hammer* You`re going down!
Aury: Yeah, think again, because this is gonna be a lot harder than you think, tin head! *Battle stance too*
Neo: *Looks at her* Tin head?
Aury: Yeah
Neo: You can do better than that!
Aury: I`m really not in the mood for coming up with wittier insults
Neo: Okay, okay…
Evil Lord: Of course, this is gonna be easier if I just focus on killing one of you… and since the names of the Evil Lords clearly suggest a pattern… *Glares at Aury quickly*
Neo: *Looks at her too* No…!! *In a fraction of a second, the Lord lunges at Aury with his sword*
Evil Lord: Graaaaarrghhh…!! *Aury leaps and he buries his sword in the ground*
Aury: Tch… *Jumps over his head and lands behind him* See what you just did? Now you can`t move
Evil Lord: I can`t? *His sword glows red as he cuts the ground without effort, slashing upwards* Raaaaarrghhh…!!
Aury: Whoa!! *Dodges with a somersault* Dammit…
Neo: *Jumps in front of the Evil Lord holding his sword* Over here!! Oooorryaahh!! *Slashes, but the Evil Lord parries with his sword*
Evil Lord: You`re not my opponent this time, Captain Neo…
Neo: Dammit, if it`s her you`re going for, you`d better be sure I am going to be your opponent!!
Evil Lord: You don`t understand, do you? *Slashes forward, sending Neo flying*
Neo: You don`t understand! *Before crashing against the wall* Burning Coronaaaaaa----!! *Slashes and sends a flaming shockwave towards the Lord*

Ako: *Leaps and lands on the Lord`s back* I know I`ve said this before, and that I`ve been wrong, but you won`t be able to handle us all!
Crystal: After all, we just came here to finish you! *Loads energy in her hand*
Nam: Let`s go everyone!! *Runs forward*
Knivy: For great justice!! *Gets his knives ready*
Zappy: FOR THE LULZ *Loads arrows*
Evil Lord: I don`t need to handle you all… you don`t get it, it is written that you will all defeat me… I just have to take care of something… *Lunges at Aury again* Before you do so!!
Aury: We get it! *Steps forward and kicks the Lord hard in the face* We just like messing with you. Nice try, though…
Evil Lord: You like talking, huh? Well, let`s see how much you can talk while freezing! *Opens his hand and Aury freezes*
Kokoro: No, the lag!!
Aury: Urrrghhhh… *Closes her eyes*
Ceri: Fight it, Aury! *Punches the air*
Evil Lord: It`s useless… *Lifts his sword* DIE!! *Slashes, but Aury manages to break free and jump to the side, not without getting a deep cut in her leg*
Aury: Aghh…!! *Trips and falls* Shoot…
Evil Lord: Wha… how did you move?!
Lenore: *Stands in front of Aury with her shield* This is bad… can you move?
Aury: Yeah, I`m fine… *Tries to get up, but fails* Or… ungh, maybe not…
Evil Lord: Well… it doesn`t matter… it`s halfway done… *Looks at Lenore*
Neo: No!! *Runs at the Lord again* Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit…!! *Jumps to attack, but the Lord freezes him* Don`t… ignore… me!! Fight… me!!
Evil Lord: I will… after I get rid of your little girlfriend over here…
Aury: You son of a… *Glares at him*
Lenore: You stay back here, Auryen… don`t move…
Ewoyn: *Shooting arrows* They`re not doing anything... at all!
Zappy: *Shooting too* WTH HAX
Juneau: Dang it, this is a losing battle… he just wants to kill Auryen… and it doesn`t look like we`ll be able to do anything to him…
Seras: Y… yeah…
Juneau: *Looks at Seras* What`s up, Seras?
Seras: No… nothing…
Juneau: Hey, get a hold of yourself… I know what you`re thinking
Seras: No you don`t…
Juneau: Yeah, I know. But you`re one of us, and nobody cares about what happened before this, it actually doesn`t matter at all
Seras: N… no, it`s not that, I… the Evil Lord…
Juneau: Just give us a hand, okay? We`ll talk later…
Seras: I… I… *Sigh* I know… *Glares*
Evil Lord: *Stands in front of Lenore* Move
Lenore: [CENSORED] you
Evil Lord: *Sigh* Okay… *Freezes Lenore and delivers a blow with his sword that crashes her against the wall on the side*
Lenore: Arrrrghhh…!!
Neo: Len! *Stands in Lenore`s former place, still grabbing his sword and looking at the Lord* I won`t let you lay a finger on her…
Evil Lord: Neo… this is how it`s supposed to be…
Neo: My butt. I don`t give a damn about your cycle, your prophecy, or your legacy. The only way you`re getting your hands on her is over my dead avatar! *Points*
Aury: Neo… don`t…
Evil Lord: You know I can`t do that…
Neo: Yeah, you can`t kill me, huh? So what are you gonna do? You don`t want your stupid name pattern go to waste, huh?
Aury: I`m fine, Neo…
Neo: No you`re not, Aury… stay back
Aury: Yes I am… I can handle this…
Neo: No you can`t! You`re hurt, and I`m gonna help you…
Aury: I don`t need… *Tries to get up* Your help, Neo…
Neo: Dammit, Aury! *Turns around* I know you`re strong and proud of that, but all of us need help once in a while! I want to help you, so help me help you!!
Evil Lord: You heard her, Ne…
Neo: *Turns around* SHUT UP!!! *Glares fiercely* You think you can take her from me just like that?! Just because you`re doing something you think it`s important?! Well, she`s important to me, and there`s no way in hell I`m gonna let you do anything to her!! Because, after all… she`s the person that matters the most to me!! *Everyone stares at Neo*
Lenore: Wow, Neo…
Ewoyn: *Holding some popcorn* Way to go, man…
Aury: Neo…
Evil Lord: Ahhh, love… yet another thing that is not absolute…
Neo: You`re wrong
Evil Lord: It comes and goes, it isn`t permanent, just a nuisance. You can`t call it, and you can`t get rid of it, but we all know it doesn`t last forever…
Neo: *Clenches his fist* Shut up…
Evil Lord: It`s not absolute… the only absolute thing, the only thing that is certain in this world *Opens fist* is Evil!! *Closes it, making everyone in the room freeze, everyone stays still* And, of course… lag
Neo: N… no…
Evil Lord: Okay, now… *Walks past Neo and stands in front of Aury* Evil is the means by which all is revealed… *Lifts his sword slowly, ready to pierce Auryen* Alongside time exists fate… the bearer of cruelty… and this… IS FATE!! *Attempts to stab Auryen, but Neo suddenly moves and grabs one of his arms* What…?!
Neo: I said, I won`t let you do it!
Evil Lord: I said you can`t! *Struggles with Neo while everyone else is frozen* How can you move…?!
Neo: I have no clue… *Shakes Neo off and sends him flying away* Arghhh…!!
Evil Lord: This way`s better, now you can see how things work!!
Neo: NO!!

The armoured foe lifted his sword yet once more time, and this time, without delay, lowered it at blinding speed, piercing Auryen`s chest, at the same time that the lag covering the room was lifted and everyone returned to their positions, just to watch the scene I just described. The eyes of the Emissary`s captain were open wide as blood quickly trickled out the wound that had been inflicted on her, even though the sword hadn`t been removed yet. Everyone stared, nobody could utter a word. They were all waiting for Neo, who had just gotten up and couldn`t believe his eyes…

Neo: AURYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN…!!!

FLASHBACK

Auryen`s on the Apoliner`s bridge with Athemis and Sephorion, apologizing after her battle with the N.O.O.B.s
Auryen: Oh hey guys, I gotta call the Emissary, can I use your terminal?
Neo: Yeah, yeah, sure
Kokoro: The communicator`s over there *Points towards a panel*
Auryen: Thanks *Smiles, turns around and walks towards the panel*
Neo: Hmmm… *Stares at her butt* W… whoa… *Opens eyes wide and tilts head a little* Can`t… help… it… *Looks to his side and sees Nam doing the same thing* H… hey, Nam! That`s just wrong, man…
Nam: Huh? Oh! *Looks at Neo, embarrassed* Oh, yeah, sorry Neo… *Walks away*
Neo: It`s okay… *Looks around and then keeps staring at Auryen`s butt, who bends to pick the communicator*
Ewoyn: Oh yeah… *Neo looks to his other side and sees Ewo staring at her as well* That`s some fine boo-tay
Neo: What the hell, Ewo, you`re not even a guy in the story yet!
Ewoyn: Dude, even as a girl, I`d still hit it

END OF FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK

Neo and Auryen both get in the elevator that leads to the Apoliner`s bridge in order to discuss their assault to the Evil Fortress with the others at the same time. The elevator`s door close
Neo: Hey, hi
Aury: Oh, hi *They both stay silent*
Neo: So, uhh… how`s it going?
Aury: I`m fine, I`m fine… you?
Neo: I`m good too, hah… *Awkward silence* Yeah…
Aury: Aha…
Neo: Yup, yup… *Looks around* So… *In a flash, Neo hugs and kisses Aury, who kisses him back wildly as he pushes her against the elevator`s wall while she places her hands on his cheeks. Neo lifts her, still kissing her repeatedly as she starts to remove her…*

Aury: Hey, Neo! Neo, you there?
Neo: Huh? Wha… *Stops daydreaming* Huh? What? Oh, what`s up?
Aury: I was asking you about our strategy regarding the infiltration of the fortress…
Neo: Oh, yeah, that, ummm… yeah…
Aury: … are you okay?
Neo: Yup! Better than ever!
Aury: What were you thinking about?
Neo: Not you and me snogging against that wall *Points* Oh-ho, not me
Aury: Ummm… okay, haha… *Smiles uncomfortably*
Neo: Heheh… yeah… so, uh, the strategy! *The elevator stops and the doors open*
Aury: Yeah, we`ll talk about it with the others *Steps out* Catch you later!
Neo: Yeah! *Stays in the elevator and mutters* Coward…

END OF FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK

Neo: So, uhhh… well, I called you here because I wanted to tell you something… *Walks around, smiling nervously* I don`t really know how to begin, heheh… *Thinks a little* The thing is… I like you. I really like you, Aury, and for the last couple of days… bah, almost since the moment we first met… I haven`t been able to take you out of my head *Shrugs* We have a lot of things in common, aside from the mission we`re on, which is incidentally another thing we have in common, but I`m talking about something that doesn`t have to do with fighting evil… there`s just something about you, and how you talk, and your determination… yeah, and, ummm… *Looks down, smiling* So, yeah, that, heh… I like you and think you`re awesome, and… erm… I want to be with you. Y`know, like, you and me, together… Because, um… I don`t know, maybe, just maybe, you feel something similar, and… and… you… erm… I… I can`t *The camera shows us he`s talking to his reflection in the mirror* I can`t do this
Mirror Neo: *The Neo from the mirror moves independently* No, no, no, you we`re doing fine!
Neo: Nah man, it sucked
Mirror Neo: No, really! It was perfect!
Neo: You think…? *Insecure*
Mirror Neo: Yeah! Girls like that kind of stuff!
Neo: Sure? I mean… I don`t know…
Mirror Neo: Look, you have nothing to lose! You just have to go and give it a try
Neo: I guess that`s how it works…
Mirror Neo: That`s how it`s always worked, you know that
Neo: Yeah… but this time… ungh…
Mirror Neo: Well, if you`re not sure… how about the phrases Ewo gave you?
Neo: Oh, no way
Mirror Neo: Come on, you asked him for help didn`t you?
Neo: Yeah, but there`s no freaking way I`m using the phrases he gave me. They just don`t seem right
Mirror Neo: Hmmm… he was just trying to give you a hand, give it a try!
Neo: Argh… look *Takes out a folded paper from his pocket and unfolds it* Listen… “I must have found the ark… because your [CENSORED] is out of this planet”
Mirror Neo: Oh
Neo: See?
Mirror Neo: Yeah
Neo: Good *Puts it away*
Mirror Neo: Well… what do you know? His asian girlfriends might like it
Neo: Yeah, who knows?
Mirror Neo: Well, that won`t do. So you`ll have to use your own material
Neo: Argh…
Mirror Neo: Yeah man! That stuff you were saying is awesome, you gotta go with that!
Neo: Okay… but not now, I`ll tell her later… it`s not like I`m in a hurry or something
Mirror Neo: Fair enough
Neo: Seeya tomorrow, then
Mirror: Oh, no, no, remember you gotta brush your teeth after dinner
Neo: Oh, yeah… see you after dinner, then
Mirror Neo: See you later, sport

END OF FLASHBACK

Evil Lord: It is done… *Takes his sword out of her and walks away*
Neo: *Runs beside her* Auryen… Auryen… *Kneels* Talk to me, Auryen…!
Aury: Nghhh… unghh… *Coughs, blood emanating from her wound*
Neo: Aury!!
Lenore: Neo, don`t…
Evil Lord: Now that…
Neo: *Stands up and confronts him* ENOUGH!! *Can`t contain his rage* Lenore, Ceri, Kokoro, Juneau, on her
Ceri: Wh… what?
Neo: Do it, NOW!!
Lenore: But wha… oh shoot, we`re clerics! *The four of them lean beside Aury and start trying to heal her*
Neo: *Walks towards the Lord* You… you…
Evil Lord: Yes… finally…
Neo: Grrghh… *His eyes glow red* Grrghh…
Evil Lord: It is time…
Neo: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH…!!!

Chapter 31: Unleash the butterfly!

Captain Spinaury is dead, so you better be wearing something black (You probably are wearing black anyway, like the average gamer you are) After killing her, The Evil Lord appears to have fulfilled his mission: There`s only one captain now, someone to succeed him and make the prophecy live on. Neo`s blood burns with rage upon the death of his loved one…

- Evil Lord`s chamber

Neo: *Walks towards the Lord* You… you…
Evil Lord: Yes… finally…
Neo: Grrghh… *His eyes glow red* Grrghh…
Evil Lord: It is time…
Neo: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH…!!! *A spinning red aura appears around him*
Lenore: *Trying to heal Aury with the clerics* This isn`t doing any good! *Loads more healing energy*
Juneau: H… hey… I think she`s already… *Slowly withdraws her hands*
Lenore: No *Grabs June`s hands and puts them over Aury again* We must keep trying
Ceri: Lenore`s right, we can`t let anything distract us from… *Notices Neo* Holy [CENSORED], look at that! *Points*
Neo: *His back arches* Ghhh… grrrghhhh… *Lowers his head with a fierce expression in his face*
Evil Lord: Heheh… yes…
Atoli: What`s happening to Neo…?
Seras: *Standing beside the clerics* He`s flipping out… I remember he told us something similar happened to him when he fought Doc…
Lenore: Oh yeah, I remember that…! *Tries to hide the script of chapter 14*
Juneau: Well, no wonder why he`s flipping out *Looks at the body* Auryen`s…
Lenore: Dammit June, shut up and heal!
Neo: You… *Lifts his head a little and glares at the Lord with his red eyes* You… you ruined our story together… you ruined our story… Aury… unnnghh… *Closes eyes and archers more as the aura closes up on him*
Evil Lord: That`s right… I did it… and now it`s time for you to end millions of stories, just like I did…
Neo: Arrrghh… *Tries to resist*
Seras: Dammit, this is not good…
Knivy: Why not? Neo`s gonna kick his [CENSORED]
Seras: Yes, but that`s what the Evil Lord wants… once Neo defeats him, he`ll turn into the Evil Lord himself
Zappy: WAT
Ako: Shoot, that makes sense! It`s what he was saying earlier… *Looks at Neo*
Ewoyn: There`s gotta be something we can do!
Nam: For now, we can only watch, apparently… *Worried*
Ewoyn: No! I mean, we have to stop him and find another way to win! *Turns to Seras* Seras, you were here last time, right?!
Seras: Y… yeah, but…
Ewoyn: Is this what happened last time? That`s why you`re sure that`s what will happen, right?!
Seras: Y… yeah, well… last time Eon defeated the Evil Lord and then Evil took over his body… I can`t recall anything after that, I`m sorry…
Ewoyn: *Shakes Seras* Think, dammit! Think!!
Seras: I… It`s hard for me too, you know!!
Crystal: Ewo, calm the hell down!
Ewoyn: We can`t just sit here and watch how everything we did goes to waste!!
Ceri: G… guys… *Points at Neo*
Neo: Unnnghhhh… arrghhh… *Crosses his arms while arched, gritting his teeth*
Evil Lord: Here it comes…!
Neo: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHH…!!! *Opens his arms while arching his body the opposite way, shouting at the sky as a column of light falls where he stands, he becomes surrounded by bright spores and a pair of colorful butterfly wings sprout from his back*

http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/silverlucario/naruto-kyuubi.gif

http://fohn.net/monarch-butterfly-pictures/monarch-butterfly_large.jpg

Zappy: I`ve said this before… but WAT
Lenore: Butterfly wings?!
Evil Lord: It`s magnificent!
Neo: Gah… hah… hah… *Recovers his breath*
Nam: Well, that makes sense… remember when Neo was fighting Kitone?

Kitone: *Reaches Neo* Finally…!! *Drops her sword on him*
Neo: HARDEN…!! *Neo`s skin solidifies and Kitone`s hit has no effect on him*
Kitone: What the…?!
Neo: STRING SHOT…!! *Neo opens his mouth and releases an important amout of silk that begins enveloping Kitone*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/180px-Metapod.gif

Kitone: Agh, yuck! *Tries to free herself* What… what is this…?!
Neo: *Smiles* I have surprises too

Nam: He used harden… and then he used the string shot?
Lenore: Harden and string shot? Dude, gross
Ewoyn: Dude, I can use those too. Pokemon sex five! *High fives Nam*
Nam: That`s not my point. He was like a cocoon…
Ako: I always hated that word after watching the movie…
Neo: Heh… *Glares at the Evil Lord* Heheh… hahahah… *Grins evilly*
Seras: Oh no, he`s gonna do it…
Ewoyn: We have to stop him somehow!
Seras: It`s not gonna be easy… *Looks at Koko* Koko, what does your radar say about his power level?
Kokoro: *Closes her eyes and scouts* It`s… it`s… over nine thousand…
Seras: No Koko, you gotta shout it
Kokoro: Oh, um… okay, so… it`s over nine thousaaaaaand…!
Seras: Louder! The story`s gonna end, for god`s sake!
Kokoro: IT`S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND…!!!
Seras: WHAT, NINE THOUSAND?!
Nam: Will we be able to stop him? *Gets ready*
Ewoyn: We`ll have to try and see…
Neo: *Flaps his wings, releasing spores* You`re going down… you [CENSORED]…
Evil Lord: Come at me, Neo! *Opens his arms* Let`s do this!
Neo: How dare you… *Grits teeth, enraged* Here I coooooooome…!! *Flies at top speed towards the Lord*
Ewoyn: Nam, now! *Dashes*
Nam: Yeah! *Follows and the both grab Neo by his legs*
Neo: What…?! *Turns his head*
Nam: We can`t let you do it, Neo!
Ewoyn: That`s what he wants!
Neo: Let go!! This is what I have to do!! *Struggles*
Nam: Neo, as soon as you defeat him you`ll turn into the next Evil Lord!!
Neo: I said LET GO!!! *Flaps his wings violently, spins, and sends Ewoyn and Nam flying away* I don`t care what happens!! I have to do this, for Auryen!!
Juneau: Dammit, Neo! Listen to us!!
Evil Lord: Don`t keep me waiting, Neo…
Neo: *Turns again and faces the Lord* Grrrrrrrgh…
Lenore: You son of a [CENSORED]…
Seras: This requires strong women, Len. Let`s go!
Lenore: Agreed… *Stops healing and stands up*
Neo: Tch… *Practically teleports in front of the Evil Lord and gets a punch ready* Oooorrryaaaaahhh…!!
Evil Lord: Hah!
Lenore: No!! *Lenore and Seras appear at his sides, each grabbing one of Neo`s arms, immobilizing him* Neo, if you do this everything we did so far is gonna be in vain!!
Neo: I have to do it!
Seras: No you don`t, dammit!! *Forces his arm* Stop now while you still can!
Neo: I can`t stop…! *Struggles, but the girls don`t budge*
Ewoyn: *Standing beside Nam* H… hey Nam, those two are making us look like total wimps… *Points*
Nam: Yeah, I mean… *Looks at his axe* Aren`t we supposed to be stronger or something?
Crystal: *Glances at them and sighs* Men…
Neo: Release me at once!! *Moves his arms frantically*
Lenore: Not until you calm down!
Neo: Lenore… Seras… I don`t want to hurt you both…
Seras: Then stop what you`re doing Neo, realize it`s not the correct thing!
Evil Lord: *Glares at Neo and then at the girls* Neo… if you don`t do it, I`ll do it myself…
Neo: Sorry girls, but there`s no other way!! *Flaps his wings creating a spore explosion that repels Lenore and Seras*
Evil Lord: And none of you shall get in the way any longer!! *Extends his arms and closes his fists* Total lag!! *Everything freezes, except him* Neo, I know you can move…
Neo: *Moves naturally* Finally…
Evil Lord: That power you have allows you to ignore my lag… and is what makes you perfect for the place you`re about to take
Neo: I… I must… *Can`t contain his anger, starts flapping his wings* The seven... butterflies...
Evil Lord: Yes, hit me with your final technique!! Evil shall live forever!!
Neo: Grrgh… *A tear comes down from his red eye* GRAAAAAAGHHH…!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Neofly.jpg

Neo dashed forward and hit the Evil Lord with a force palm in the stomach and sends him flying “CHOU!” He teleports behind him and delivers a spinning kick “BORBOLETA!” After turning around and charging energy in his fist, he punches the Lord really hard and sends him flying again “MARIPOSA!” Then, he dashes across him, dealing multiple delayed cuts with the spores after passing him “VLINDER!” Before creating a large number of little explosive butterflies with the spores and sending them all against him “SCHMETTERLING!” Close to finishing him off, Neo opens his wings wide and flies around the Lord slashing multiple times “BUTTERFLY!” And finally stands in front of him, puts his hands together and points them at him, then releases an enormous bright colorful beam that erases the Evil Lord completely “PAPILLION!!”

In the second the Papillion Beam finishes the Evil Lord, the lag is lifted and everyone starts moving again. Neo`s wings disappear, he falls to the ground and collapses. There is nothing left of the Evil Lord…

Lenore: Neo!! *Runs towards Neo* Neo, what happened? Are you okay?!
Neo: Ungh… *Sits slowly* I… argh…
Ewoyn: Wh… where`s the Evil Lord?!
Crystal: *Looks around* I can`t see him anywhere…
Zappy: *Points at something on the ground* OMG
Knivy: *Picks up the Evil Lord`s helmet* Well, I think we can safely assume the Evil Lord is no more…
Ceri: Neo, what did you do? We were all lagging… I think you know
Neo: Yeah… I know… I… I had to…
Seras: *Stands in front of him* It looks like you`re okay, though…
Nam: Yeah… you`re not the Evil Lord… *Takes one step back* … are you?
Neo: Yes I`m… I`m okay… *Touches his face* I`m allright… *Stands up* I… *Looks at Aury`s body* Aury! *Stumbles towards her*
Juneau: Neo… *Still near Aury* She`s… she`s not…
Neo: No… it can`t be… Auryen… *Kneels*
Kokoro: She didn`t make it Neo… I`m sorry… *Looks down*
Neo: No… Auryen… *Starts crying silently* I love you… Aury…
Kokoro: I`m really sorry…
Ceri: Yeah…
Neo: It`s not your fault… none of you… it was that Evil stuff…
Lenore: Yeah, but we couldn`t…
Neo: It`s not your fault, I said… *Gets up* She did it for our cause
Lenore: Yes… we don`t have to forget why we`re here…
Ako: Wh… what now…? I mean, nothing`s… happening
Ewoyn: Seras, what happened at this time? I mean, when you were here last time
Seras: I… I don`t remember… at all…
Ewoyn: Maybe your memory was already taken at this time…
Kokoro: *Closes her eyes* I… I can still feel the Evil energy somewhere…
Neo: Yeah… *Serious* This isn`t over yet…
Atoli: What, not yet?! This goes on?
Lenore: I can feel it too… *Cautious* It`s getting closer…
Seras: Everyone get ready… it`s coming…

At that moment, the ceiling of the chamber was completely destroyed, exposing the sky above them. Floating there, not far from the fortress, was an enormous black ship, and a strange, eerie-looking red and orange cloud was located exactly above it. Standing on the deck of the ship, completely visible, were six familiar figures who spoke to our heroes from there…

Sereno: My, my, my… we meet again~! *Poses*
Eirlyn: I finally get the chance to see all of you!
Neo: What the…? *Opens eyes wide*
Lenore: You guys!!
Lana: Exactly, us
Kitone: We`re here to finish what we started! *Shakes her sword*
Ako: This can`t be… we finished all of you!
Razmiran: Or that`s what we made you think…
Ako: What you…
Razmiran: Weren`t those disappearances awesome?
Ewoyn: [CENSORED], I knew it!
Eirlyn: Of course they were, I made them myself~ *Poses*
Lenore: I don`t even know you, who are you?
Eirlyn: Oh, how rude of you not to recall this beautiful face…
Nam: Oh my god… *Remembers* She is…
Crystal: She is…!
Eirlyn: *Spins and her changes into her princess dress* The absolutely drop-dead gorgeous Princess Eirlyn!

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj132/ToBusyDoingNothing/Princess%20Peach/Peach_char2.jpg

Neo: Oh, THAT princess… I remember now…
Eirlyn: That`s right, some of you guys never had the pleasure of meeting me in person, but while you were busy making your way here, I had to take care of a lot of things, you know?
Ceri: Like putting on some make up?
Eirlyn: Well, of cou-
Ceri: Oh no wait, now I see you didn`t even do that
Eirlyn: WHAT?!
Kitone: Calm down, Eir…
Eirlyn: Look who`s talking about calming down!!
Razmiran: *Sigh* Can`t we look cool for once?
Eirlyn: Oh yeah! Anyway, I was busy gathering my friends over here in the Black Blackness, this beauty you see us standing on…
Seras: B… but why… this doesn`t make sense, Eon said…
Lenore: Eon?
Seras: S… sorry, I meant, the… the Evil Lord
Lana: Yeah, she called him Eon. Guess who had a little crush on your Evil Lord, huh?
Lenore: What the hell…?!
Seras: Shut the hell up, Lana…!!
Eirlyn: Ohh, Seras, there you are! I was wondering when we`d meet again… too bad it has to be under these circumstances…
Seras: I see everyone remembers everything now… guys, I…
Sereno: Oh, no, no, no~ We`re not here to reminisce, I assure you~ What`s in the past is in the past! *Poses*
Ewoyn: Ugh, I had forgotten the goosebumps I get just by looking at that dude…
Neo: So… let me get this straight… *Points at Eirlyn* You gathered all the Evil Generals that were defeated, and reunited them in your ship, right?
Eirlyn: Oh, you catch on quick captain… but I bet you`re dying to know why I did such thing, considering that what you just talked with our ex-friend Eon doesn`t add up, does it? Your little girlfriend was dying to know too, haha~!
Neo: *Glares* You`re all a bunch of [CENSORED]…
Eirlyn: Now, now, all your questions are about to be answered, my dear avengers… but first we gotta introduce you to someone very special…
Juneau: Huh?
Lenore: Dammit, why do they always have to have a trump card?!
Eirlyn: Oh, not quite, more like we are his trump card… *The cloud above the ship starts getting lower and closer* Your call, master!!

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 32: Magatsu Isya

Explosion! Youth! Boiling blood! Neo goes berserk after Aury`s death and, in a display of multilingual martial arts, finally kills the suicidal Evil Lord. But that`s all part of the past now, our heroes have bigger fish to fry. A new ship called the Black Blackness has appeared, and with it, the evil generals! And, apparently, someone else is going to make his appearance… someone? Or something…

- Top of the Evil Fortress

Eirlyn: *Raises her hand* Your call, master!
Neo: Master…?
Ako: There`s someone else…?!

The creepy red and orange cloud that was above the ship starts thundering and getting closer to them slowly. While it does so, it starts taking the shape of something… an enormous, fiery horned demon. Even though they could clearly see it and feel its energy, it was as if the creature was much more than that, as if it was just a representation, that it was actually much bigger than what they were seeing. They weren`t even sure as to if it was material or not, it seemed more like an ethereal being, as if they could walk right through it… This Cthulhu-like experience striked them as this thing got closer to them… when it was completely formed it spoke…

Evil: I am Evil...
Lenore: WAT
Zappy: Hey!
Lenore: Sorry
Zappy: It`s okay *Looks at Evil* WAT
Evil: *Smiles faintly* I have come to put and end to this…
Seras: An end to this, huh? *Looks at the generals* What have you done?!
Eirlyn: *Smiles maniacally* Hahaha!! I bet you didn`t expect this, huh?!
Seras: You don`t even know what you`re doing, huh?
Eirlyn: *Disgusted* Of course we do! Who the hell do you think I am?!
Seras: *Enraged* No, who the hell do you think I am?!
Lenore: *Places a hand on Seras` shoulder* Seras, please!
Crystal: I… I don`t understand anything…
Neo: Wh… what are you…?
Kitone: Didn`t ya hear, [CENSORED]?! He`s Evil! Evil himself!
Razmiran: I thought you guys would be acquainted with it, since you`ve been fighting it for a long time… and mentioning it a lot, too
Ewoyn: You`re telling us… this thing…
Ceri: Is Evil… as in… Evil the… the thing?
Kokoro: The concept?!
Evil: As I said, I am Evil… embodied
Nam: Oh my god… *Opens eyes wide*
Neo: You`re the thing that causes evil in this place…
Ako: Um, no, I don`t think it causes evil, since he himself is evil
Neo: Oh… yeah… he can`t cause himself
Ako: I don`t think it can
Neo: Well, there`s one thing he can`t do! *Fighting stance* We already have the upper hand, hah!
Evil: I have chosen to appear before yourselves in order to end this useless battle between what you call “good” and myself… there`s no need for this looping charade any more…
Lenore: I see… so you got tired of repetition, huh?
Crystal: Repetition?
Ewoyn: Yeah, remember what the Evil Lord said…
Evil: Exactly… I have no reason to allow that to go on any more… I have waited a long time for this moment… *Closes fists*
Neo: So what are you gonna do? You`re gonna go try and kill us?
Sereno: Silence! The master is talking!
Evil: First, I`ll make you see the truth…
Neo: That one`s getting old
Lenore: They already tried. Didn`t work
Evil: Oh, but they didn`t do what I`m about to do… *Opens arms and the area around them starts to slowly distort*
Ako: What the…?!
Kokoro: I… ungh… my head hurts…
Atoli: What`s going on…?!
Evil: We`re going to take a little trip…

- Magatsu Isya

Around them, they could see Isya. The land they knew so well and had learned to love during all the time they spent in it. But it wasn`t exactly the one they knew… the sky was green, everything was darker, everything they saw was stained by blood, trickling from the walls, the same blood that filled the rivers and lakes that used to be filled with water. The trees, the mountains, the buildings, everything was distorted, as if the place itself was having a nightmare. The heroes could also feel the hate in the air, they saw players fighting, arguing, hating each other… killing each other… they saw behind the avatars, the negative feelings coming from thousands of people sitting in front of a computer. The air was polluted with these feelings, and they could barely breathe. High in the sky, the moon looked down upon them. It was no ordinary moon…

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/persona3-1.jpg

Juneau: Whe… ungh… where are we…?
Nam: What is this place? *Coughs* Damn, I can hardly breathe…
Evil: This is the real Isya… the one people refuse to see
Neo: That can`t be…
Evil: Magatsu Isya… the Isya of the Evil Moon…
Neo: That`s not true!! This is just one of those illusions… you wanna mess with our minds
Evil: I`m trying to do the contrary… your minds are already messed up
Crystal: Oh gosh… I can`t stand being here… *Covers her face with her hands*
Lenore: Come on guys, stand strong! *Looks around*
Evil: Look around you… this is what is really going on in the server you love so much. I exist because people play this game to challenge their negative feelings
Seras: What?!
Evil: People are filled with them… hatred, jealousy, arrogance… they channel them through this game
Seras: Yeah, but they`re created by the game too!
Evil: Not entirely… after all… people play this game because they want to be someone else… don`t they?

Everyone fell silent

Ewoyn: Because we want to be… *Looks around*
Ako: Someone else… *Touches his character`s chest* … hey, no!
Neo: *Looks at his own hands* Do we want to be someone else…?
Evil: People are bored with their lives… it`s not enough for them, they want more, and they come here, where they can be whatever they want… look and say whatever they want… it`s a tempting offer
Juneau: That`s… kinda true…
Lenore: Damn…
Evil: Those pestilent feelings come into the game… and they only go out when the person leaves… which isn`t likely to happen, since he or she will find what they were looking for…
Kokoro: So the feelings stay around…
Knivy: That`s what Evil is… the negative feelings…
Evil: Do you see now, that Evil is natural? That players are naturally Evil, some more than others, detail that doesn`t matter, because Evil is highly contagious… you`ve seen how contagious it can be…
Ako: *Looks around* When you guys said I was…
Zappy: OMG YES
Evil: Evil is eternal… I am eternal *Most of them look down*
Ewoyn: *Turns to Neo* Neo, this would be the time in which you get really angry, look at him, and unleash an awesome comeback
Neo: Yeah… I… I know, but… I… it`s not coming, I don`t know… what…
Ewoyn: Oh boy… I guess we`re [CENSORED] then…
Evil: Now that you finally see how things are…
Seras: *Lifts her face* And what are you doing there, Eirlyn?
Eirlyn: What does it look like we`re doing? We`re helping him!
Seras: Doesn`t look like he needs any help…
Evil: Oh, but I did…
Eirlyn: HA!
Evil: SILENCE!!
Eirlyn: *Shrinks* Yes…
Evil: In order to interrupt the loop, in order to prevent things from repeating themselves, I needed a bit of assistance… I usually appear when the Evil Lord is killed…
Lenore: And this time wasn`t an exception
Kokoro: You… erm, you… take over the crew and… then Evil goes to sleep
Evil: This time I won`t be going to sleep… I`ve been planning this moment for ages… I didn`t create those ships for nothing
Neo: *Lifts his face slowly* … what?
Lenore: Did he just…?
Neo: What did you just say…?
Evil: I said I created those ships
Ako: You mean…
Evil: The Apoliner and the Subspace Emissary. It was me who created them, I knew the purpose for which they`d be used…
Juneau: But that doesn`t make any sense!
Atoli: You created the ships that were used to defeat you?!
Evil: I was never completely defeated… I needed those things to happen, it was all part of my plan. Your ancestors were all my puppets, just like you…
Nam: Still. Ungh… why do that? My head hurts…
Evil: I needed to gather energy from players fighting, I needed to create disputes and provide both sides with tools. The “good” side had the ships, the “evil one had the fortress… I didn`t have enough energy to avoid resting from time to time, and I knew I wouldn`t die. After all, that thing you call “Good”, is just an illusion
Seras: Grrrr…
Evil: It is, it`s just a distorted image of the truth, a lie. The only truth is Evil, and the world I want to create is a world where people don`t need to fake, where they live freely without restraining themselves, just them and their instincts
Neo: Tch… that`s not right…
Evil: To do that, I need to get rid of you… *Glares at them* You`re the chains, the cage around the beast…
Lenore: You`re not breaking this cage…
Evil: I can`t do it myself, since I am only a representation, I am not material yet
Knivy: Oh… you aren`t?
Evil: No… but I will be, after I take over your body, Neo

Everyone opened their eyes wide, surprised

Neo: After you what?!
Evil: The cycle needs to happen one more time, but this time it will be different, I will not share my power, I will not give you a part of it so you can carry on this neverending story we`ve been seeing for years… this time I myself will gain a body, and I`ll rid this perfect land of that plague called “Good” once and for all…

http://www.geektyrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/neverending-story.jpg

Neo: NO WAY!!
Ewoyn: You`re not even material, what are you gonna do?!
Evil: How pathetic… I don`t need to be material in order to do that… after all, I am doing it in order to become material
Ewoyn: Oh… yeah… heh…
Evil: However, to defeat you, I do need a material element… and this is where the previous Evil Generals come into scene… once more
Lana: That would be us
Evil: I had to put the Evil Generals on my side, recruit them again after they were defeated, for them to fight for me
Razmiran: Since it was written that we`d be defeated
Kitone: Suck on that!! You didn`t win because you`re good! It was written, tch…
Fury: And he couldn`t let the Evil Lord know anything, because it was important that he kept going with the war until he was killed… he never knew this time it was gonna be different
Evil: I started with the first general that fell, that incidentally was the one closer to the Evil Lord…
Seras: What?! Eirlyn was the closer one to Eon?!
Eirlyn: But of course~ I always was the one closer to him, wasn`t I? *Winks*
Seras: Tch…! *Turns around*
Knivy: Um… what are you talking about?
Seras: Never mind!
Knivy: Mmmkay…
Juneau: *To Knivy* I`ll explain later…
Evil: One way or the other, everything`s ready now…
Kitone: We`re much more powerful now! *Lifts her sword* We`ll take you down!
Evil: But first… *Points at Neo* There`s something I have to do
Neo: Y… you`re not doing anything…!
Evil: This isn`t something you can stop, Neo… you shall accept me!!

As soon as he said that, Evil lunged at top speed towards Neo, ready to take over his body. The redhead captain couldn`t do anything to defend himself, everything would`ve been futile. However, the second Evil touched Neo, the area was filled with light, and the enormous ethereal being was repelled by something that had appeared right in front of his target. Neo opened his eyes, and in the middle of the blinding light that now flooded the area, he recognized Auryen, enveloped in brightness and barely visible

Evil: … what?! *Retreats a little*
Neo: *Falls to the ground and sits* W… whoa... can`t be…
Aury: *Standing in front of him with her eyes open, acting as a shield* Tch… you`re still such a wimp…
Neo: A… Aury…?
Aury: You haven`t changed at all, when will you learn to do anything by yourself?
Neo: Oh my… it`s really you…
Aury: Yeah, yeah, it`s me… geez, I thought my death would`ve toughened you up a little
Neo: A… actually, I…
Aury: Yeah, whatever, look at you now, you were starting to believe what this thing was saying, right?
Neo: I don`t know what to think any more, Aury, you heard what he said
Aury: Yes, but I`m smart enough not to let it get to me. What was all that stuff you told your friends about your own sense of justice, huh?
Neo: My sense of justice… but hey, how…?
Aury: About not letting others question your principles? You can`t expect everyone to understand it, because it`s YOUR OWN justice, Neo!
Neo: Yes… but… how do you know all that? I hadn`t met you yet…
Aury: I am dead now, Neo, I know stuff
Neo: Oh… hey, how did Bruce Lee die?
Aury: Oh, come on…
Neo: No, really, I wanna know. Did a robo-samurai really kill him?
Aury: I don`t know… we`re not allowed to tell
Neo: Wait, you don`t know or you`re not allowed to tell?
Aury: Neo, that`s not the point! The point is you don`t have to let anyone make you hesitate, you have to fight for what you believe till the end… like you did with me
Neo: Yeah… you`re right. I don`t know what the hell is wrong with me lately…
Aury: Well, it`s the air in this place, too… full of [CENSORED]
Neo: Yup, and… well… you did die, too
Aury: I did… but, hey, let`s not talk about that, you have stuff to do!
Neo: Yeah… and I better hurry, it doesn`t look like we have all the time in the world
Aury: Don`t worry about this thing trying to get inside you, I`ve got your back *Smiles*
Neo: Okay! *Smiles back* Thanks, Aury
Aury: Oh, and, umm, about that thing you said earlier…
Neo: Hm?
Aury: *Looks at the ground for a second* I…, um, love you too *Looks at him* Now go!
Neo: *Makes happy pose and closes eyes* Yes! Yesyesyesyes, I knew it! I just knew it!!
Aury: Neo! Go before I kick your [CENSORED]!!
Neo: Y… yeah, yeah! I`m ready!! *Aury and the light disappear*

Lenore: Wow, what was that all about?
Ewoyn: A… are you okay? I mean, whatever that was, it shielded you from…
Neo: I know *Looks at Evil* Looks like there was a factor you didn`t take into account
Evil: *Glares furiously* Th… this can`t be… it`s impossible!!
Eirlyn: Ma… master…
Evil: If I can`t do it this way, I`ll find another! *Points at the crew* Destroy them!
Kitone: That`s music to my ears!! *Gets ready*
Ako: Here they come!
Neo: Everyone, get ready!! *Serious* This will probably be our final battle… *Smiles* So make it look pretty!!

Chronicles of the
GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 33: Unfinished business

My dear readers, looks like everything went to hell. Literally, since our heroes were teleported to Magatsu Isya, which is apparently the real Isya, a place where players let their instincts run wild, with results that aren`t precisely nice… After Evil`s plans are foiled when his possession on Neo fails, this legendary being seems to have, finally, lost his temper… a battle of epic proportions approaches…

- Subspace Emissary`s bridge

Everyone was sitting in a chair, staring at the ceiling with their eyes half closed

Seph: Okay guys… see if you can guess which character I`m thinking about now…
Magi: Sephirot
Seph: Dammit!
Naimh: *Sigh* Guys, this sucks… I`m bored to death…
Magi: Well… there`s nothing we can do but wait *Shrugs* We never know when they may need backup…
Seph: Yeah… that`s why we`re here after all… *Yawns*
Naimh: I know, but I`m so restless… I wanna do something
Seph: Well, I have more games, y`know
Magi: Or, you could just try and get some sleep *Points at Athemis, with her eyes closed* Look at her, she`s fast asleep
Seph: Yeah, we had to tie her to that chair, but now she`s sleeping like a baby
Magi: I tried to wake her up earlier, but she doesn`t move an inch, haha…
Naimh: *Smiles looking at her* Yeah… hey, wait *Worried* Did you guys remember to feed her?
Seph: *Opens her eyes wide* OH SHI---!! *Gets up and runs to the kitchen*
Magi: Oh my god, so she wasn`t asleep?!
Naimh: Geez, well done guys! Now we`re missing another member!!
Seph: *Comes back with a bowl of rice, because that`s what they eat on animes* There`s still time, there`s still time!!
Magi: So that`s why she was crying earlier… we shouldn`t have taped her mouth shut
Naimh: Well, she wouldn`t stay quiet. And Seph, you were in charge of…!
Seph: Darn, I`m sorry, I`m sorry, I`m sorry…! *Opens Ath`s mouth and starts shoving rice inside* Please don`t die on me!
Athemis: Ngh… *Starts recovering her conscience* Cough… cough… *Realizes what`s going on* YOU…!!!
Seph: *Fills her mouth with rice and puts her hand on it* Don`t thank me, Ath, don`t. I do it because I love you
Athemis: Hmmphhh! Hmphh, hmphhh…!! *Shakes furiously*
Seph: Don`t waste energy, dear Ath. Just chew
Naimh: *Sigh* I dunno what I`m doing around these… *Glances at her radars* Hey… hey!
Seph: *Looks at her while closing Ath`s mouth* Hm?
Athemis: *Looks at her with her mouth shut* Hmphhph?
Naimh: I`m… what… this can`t be… *Looks at her radars* The guys disappeared
Magi: They what…? *Stands beside her*
Naimh: Yeah, look… *Points at one of them* This is the radar scanning the fortress… and there`s nobody there… it isn`t showing anyone, as if the fortress was deserted
Seph: That can`t be, where did they go?
Naimh: I have no idea, but apparently they moved… or…
Magi: Or they were all…
Naimh: No, no, that can`t be… we would`ve gotten some kind of premonition, like glasses breaking, or a big black dog
Seph: You`re right, it`s also better if we don`t think too much about that…
Naimh: But we have to do something! I mean… *Points at the radar* They aren`t there!!
Athemis: Hmphh, hmphhh hmphh, hmphh?

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/iam2eeyore/kenny.jpg

Naimh: What?
Seph: She`s asking if the radar can fail
Naimh: Oh, well it… wait, how do you know what she`s saying?
Seph: I speak mouthful
Naimh: Oh… the radars… well, yeah, I don`t know, maybe… but still…
Seph: We just have to sit and wait… and have faith in them
Naimh: Why?!
Seph: Because that`s what the script says
Athemis: Hmphhhhh…!!

- Magatsu Isya

The nightmarish place had turned into a battlefield, the crew of the Apoliner and the empowered Evil Generals were duking it out in an all-around battle royale. Sparks, arrows, and, um… healing… energy? (Well, whatever the heck appears when a cleric uses a healing ability, I have no idea) could be seen everywhere. Evil was watching from a distance, confident of the power he had given his minions…

Neo: *Running in the middle of the mayhem* Crystal, watch out!
Crystal: Huh? Whoa! *Dodges an arrow* Thanks!
Razmiran: *Looking at Crystal* Dammit… *Ako jumps behind him* Tch!
Ako: *Slashes down* Take this…!! *Razmiran disappears, Ako misses* Wha…?!
Eirlyn: There you go! *Makes him appear somewhere else*
Razmiran: Sweet! *Loads more arrows*
Nam: Orryaaahhh…!! *Runs with his axe towards Eirlyn*
Eirlyn: Oh, it`s you again! *Dodges* You probably were missing this~! *Points at him with her staff*
Nam: Oh, snap!
Eirlyn: ROYAL BLAST! *A burst sends Nam flying towards a tree, he crashes* Hahaha~! I think I can go easy on you guys for a while…
Seras: Well, think again…!! *Hits Eir in the side with her wrench*
Eirlyn: Oof…!! *Stumbles* Ah, Seras, my old friend~
Seras: Stop this while you still can, Eir… I know you can
Eirlyn: I don`t think you know anything, since you haven`t gone through all we`ve been through!
Seras: Tch, so be it…!! *Dashes forward as she pulls a second wrench from under her dress* I`ll be your opponent, then! *Hits her with both wrenches*
Eirlyn: *Parries with her staff* Oh, please! I`d love you to~!
Sereno: *Jumping around* My, my, what am I seeing~? Are Eirlyn and Seras bringing personal issues into the battle~?
Ewoyn: *Running after him* Shut up and fight…!! *Throws arrows*
Sereno: *Gasp* Oh, I`m so sorry~! *Stops jumping* How rude of me… it`s only that, you see, I love that little thing between them…
Ewoyn: Oh, shut u—Wait, what thing between them?

Seras and Eirlyn, dressed as schoolgirls, sitting in a big couch, cuddling
Seras: Oh, Eir…
Eirlyn: Hmmm…?
Seras: I… I don`t know if we should…
Eirlyn: Oh, come on… *Presses her body against hers, softly* It`ll be fun…
Seras: But… Eir, I don`t know, I`ve been thinking…
Eirlyn: Shush, now… *Places a finger in her lips* You don`t have to think… *Starts unbuttoning her shirt* Just let me do all the work…
Seras: *Half closes her eyes* Ungh… Eir…
Eirlyn: *Leans closer* Seras…
Seras: Eir… *Closes her eyes, their lips almost touching*

Sereno: Hey… HEY!! *Snaps his fingers* Snap out of it, darling~!
Ewoyn: Huh? Wha…? *Shakes head* Hey! I was busy! Damn you, Sereno, now I hate you even more! *Aims*
Sereno: But don`t you wanna know about that thing between them~? Huhuh~
Ewoyn: Oh, um… well… spill, then we fight *Lowers bow*
Sereno: Well, well~ It appears that both Seras and Eirlyn had a little crush on our former captain, Eon~
Ewoyn: Oh… *Looks at them* Really?
Sereno: Yes, yes~! I have my memory back now, and I remember how much I love gossip, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho~ *Claps*
Ewoyn: I see… *Looks at them fighting fiercely* It makes sense now… women…
Sereno: See how men are much better?
Ewoyn: Yeah… hey, what? Look at what you make me say! *Aims again* You and your speedo are going down!
Sereno: Oh-ho-ho-ho~! This isn`t like last time, my dear~ *Jumps backwards* DRAGON FLAME!! *Shoots a big ball of fire from the tip of his staff*
Juneau: I`m here! *Runs in front of Ewo, with her shield high* PROTECT!! *Sereno`s attack breaks the shield and makes her fall* Ough, auch!
Ewoyn: June! You okay?
Juneau: Yeah, go, go! *Ewoyn runs towards Sereno, Neo dashes in front of him in another direction*
Ewoyn: Whoa, Neo!
Neo: Sorry…!! *Keeps running between everyone*
Kitone: Stop right there…!! *Falls from the sky with her sword, burying it on the ground as she lands*
Neo: Whoa…!!
Kitone: I`ve got you now!! *Takes the sword out from the ground and points it at him* Now we shall have our duel!
Neo: Darn, I was hoping this wouldn`t happen… *Reluctantly takes out his sword*
Kitone: Haha, you`re such a coward… *Evil smile*
Neo: I just liked you better when you weren`t in steroids *Shrugs*
Kitone: Tch, you`re one to talk about steroids, mister super butterfly!
Neo: What? I don`t know what you`re talking about, heh *Smiles*
Kitone: Yeah, yeah, you`re not fooling anyone, I mean the power you used to kill Eon!
Neo: Oh, that…
Kitone: Use it! That way we`ll be in equal conditions
Neo: I don`t think I should
Kitone: Use it, dammit!! I want to see it, I want to fight you with that!
Neo: Well, it turns out that it`s a power I only use to fight super special and hard enemies…
Kitone: Hey, and I am…!! *Looks at Neo, who`s grinning at her* DON`T MESS WITH ME…!! *Summons a column of fire from the ground* FLAME RISER!!
Neo: Gah! *Is launched into the air* Air battle again…
Kitone: *Jumps with a demented expression* This time your silly counter won`t work!!
Neo: *Slashes the air* BURNING CORONA!! *Shoots a flaming shockwave at Kitone*
Kitone: Pityful! *Slashes across the shockwave and then towards Neo* SERAPHIM HAMMER…!!
Neo: Dammit!! *Slashes downwards* SMASH BOMBER!! *Both weapons clash, a power struggle commences and both of them start mashing the buttons on their controllers like there`s no tomorrow*

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd101/RASENGAN_FAN/RasenganvsChidori.jpg

Kitone: I told you that thing wouldn`t work! *Grins*
Neo: Well, that thing doesn`t even look like a hammer!
Kitone: It`s symbolic, idiot!! *They`re both shot backwards*
Neo: Waaaahhhh…!! *Flies until he hits the ground, between Lenore and Lana* Ow, ow, ow…
Lenore: Neo?
Neo: H… huh? *Gets up* Oh…
Lana: Looks like we`ve got the upper hand, after all
Lenore: Neo, get out of here *Glares at Lana* This [CENSORED] is mine…
Lana: You couldn`t beat me last time, what makes you think you`ll be able to do it now?
Lenore: Tch, of course I could`ve done it…
Lana: Sure, but you preferred to summon a giant toad to swallow me, right?
Lenore: Argh, shut the [CENSORED] up! *Shakes her hammer* Neo, move already!!
Neo: Oh, yeah! Yeah *Walks behind Lenore* Sure
Lana: Ready when you are… *Furry bombs appear in her hands*
Lenore: [CENSORED] that!! *Runs towards her* Hiiyaaaaaahhh…!!
Lana: *Throws the bombs at her* FUZZY BOMB!!
Lenore: Not this time! *Hits the bombs with her hammer, they don`t explode* Hah, take that!
Lana: You might wanna double check…
Lenore: Huh? *Notices the bombs stuck to her hammer* Ffffffuuuuuuu---- *They explode, hurting her arm* Aaaaarrghh…!!
Neo: Len! *Gets closer to her*
Lenore: No, Neo, stay out of this! *Gets up* I haven`t even started…
Neo: S… scary… *Looks at the camera, smiling* Meanwhile, somewhere else…
Fury: *Slashes horizontally* Stay still, dammit…!!
Ceri: Haha, you`re strong, but that won`t be of any use if you can`t catch me! *Moves at top speed around him*
Fury: Tch, at least its better than being called names! *Keeps trying to hit*
Ceri: Names? You mean buttface?
Fury: OH COME ON…!!
Ceri: Yup, yup, Aury made sure we all knew about your nickname in case we ran into you
Fury: Damn that woman, she keeps haunting me from the grave…
Ceri: Haha, she was right! *Keeps running* You ARE buttface after all…!!
Fury: She may have gotten away with calling me that, but not you…!!
Ceri: Oh, really? Let`s see what you do against this! *Makes a hand seal and suddently, thousands of Ceri`s appear* Aha…!!

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm182/diNo03SeNsEi/Multiple_Shadow_Clone_Jutsu.jpg

Fury: What, clones?!
Ceri: That`s right! *Points towards him* Attack…!! *The clones gather around Fury*
Fury: You shouldn`t have done that, I have no problem fighting against numerous enemies!! *Lifts his axe and starts spinning it, making a couple of clones vanish*
Ceri: Wha…?
Fury: FURY SWIPES!! *Starts slashing everywhere around him, cutting almost all of the clones in half* Hahaha, take this…!!
Ceri: My bunshin! *Pulls out a couple of shurikens* Darn, that was a bad call…
Fury: Not as bad a call as calling me buttface…!! *Dashes at the real Ceri* Orryaaahh…!!
Ceri: Too slow! *Dodges to the side and throws the shurikens, they makes two marks on Fury`s cheek*
Fury: Tch…!! *Touches his cheek* I`m going to cut you in half…
Ceri: Uh oh… well… I`ve got a couple of more tricks up my sleeve…
Kokoro: *Standing near there with her eyes closed* This doesn`t look good…
Knivy: *Lands beside her* What`s our situation, Koko?
Kokoro: They`re only six, but for someone reason, they aren`t going down…
Knivy: They did say they were more powerful now
Kokoro: That`s definitely true, I can read that *Opens eyes* I don`t know what we can do
Neo: I may have an idea…
Kokoro: *Surprised* Neo! Where did you come from?!
Neo: I was scouting the area… yeah, I don`t think we can beat them. If this goes on for too long, they`re gonna end up winning
Knivy: So, what do we do? *Pulls out a couple of knives*
Neo: Look over there, at Evil…

The aetherial being that had presented itself as Evil before them, was floating over Magatsu Isya, in front of the huge, shining moon, watching the battle, his arms were extended as he received the negative energy that emanated from the land and the battle going on in it

Atoli: Aha…
Neo: He obviously didn`t make the generals attack us just to try and wipe us out…
Evil: *His voice thunders all over the place* You are correct, Neo…
Neo: Huh? He can hear me?!
Evil: I can hear everything that`s said in this place, I am a part of it
Neo: So you aren`t just watching the show, are you?
Evil: Of course I`m not… the battle releases large quantities of negative energy that is much needed…
Neo: What for…?
Evil: Oh, you`ll see… soon enough
Kokoro: Neo, this is really bad, I can feel him getting stronger…
Atoli: But he can`t do anything, right? He said he needed to be material…
Knivy: Is there another way of becoming material that doesn`t involve possessing Neo?
Neo: I don`t know… but something must be done

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 34: The Apoliner`s last stand

Magatsu Isya, the Isya of the Evil Moon, was more of a battlefield than it ever was. The Apoliner`s crew and the generals, representing the forces of Good and Evil respectively, were clashing, going full force against each other. The generals were only six, but their power was greatly increased by Evil, who watched the skirmish from the dark green sky. Apparently, there could only be one winner, but something didn`t seem right, Neo noticed… but what?

- Magatsu Isya

Kokoro: So… the battle is releasing Evil energy?
Neo: That`s what it looks like, and he`s gathering it… it`s definitely making him stronger in some way
Kokoro: But, how? What are we supposed to do?
Neo: I don`t know… I don`t know… *Irritated*
Kokoro: I thought he said that the winner of this battle would determine the destiny of the server…
Knivy: Yeah, isn`t that what we`re fighting for?
Atoli: They`re fighting for that too, they really want to help Evil… they also think this battle will settle things
Neo: That is clear… but I`m not so sure about him *Points at Evil, high in the sky*
Kokoro: What do you mean, Neo?
Neo: I wonder if that is the real reason for this battle…
Atoli: I… don`t understand
Knivy: That wouldn`t make any sense
Neo: I need… I need to think… *Closes eyes* I know there`s something wrong here, something that doesn`t connect…
Kokoro: Wow… um… we… we shouldn`t bother him
Knivy: *Looking at Neo* Agreed
Neo: Focus… focus…

Flash! Journey into Neo`s mind!

- Neo`s mind

We`re inside Neo`s mind. The place is an average-size room, full of file cabinets, shelves, and a desk with a dustbin beside it. A couple of butterflies were flying around the place. The walls were covered by posters, there was a big one with Aury on it, she was wearing a Zero Suit and winking at the camera. Her chest was also bigger than it was outside his mind. There was another poster with Twisted Sister on it, the same one he had in his chamber in the Apoliner. A couple of other posters depicting the Power Rangers, Pokemon, and several other things could also be seen. The desk had a lot of papers on it, some of them were handwritten, some were typed and some were blank, there was also a computer. A Mothra plushie was sitting in one of the corners of the desk, and a blackboard was hanging from the wall behind the desk. The file cabinets were carefully labeled: “Studies”, “Work” (Empty at the moment), “Procrastination” (Totally packed. Actually, two of them had this label), “Dreams” (This one had videos inside, there was a TV in the room. The one on top read “Secret agent in casino Vol. 5”), “Fantasies” (This one was half open, without peeking one could see there were a nurse uniform and a picture of Gackt inside, among other things) and I won`t keep describing the others. Neo was in the middle of the room walking back and forth…

Neo: Okay, so… what`s going on? This battle can`t be the thing that determines what`s gonna happen, I get the feeling that`s impossible… *The Mothra plushie moves*
Mothra: Why`s that, Neo?
Neo: *Jumps* WAH! You can talk?!
Mothra: This is your mind, Neo, you`re just using me as someone to talk with in order to reason more effectively

http://www.toyvault.com/Godzilla/Images/Mothra%20Flying.jpg

Neo: Oh… I see…
Mothra: That, and you also think it wouldn`t look good if you talk alone, like, just writing “Neo:” and then writing a monologue with actions in the middle
Neo: Yeah, that would be kinda untidy
Mothra: See? So, why can`t this battle determine what happens?
Neo: That would be too simple, Evil wouldn`t do that
Mothra: Because he`s at a numeric disadvantage? He`s winning, though
Neo: Not that, even if the generals win, nothing would change. After all, if he can give them all his power like he said, why bother giving them part of it? He could wipe us out in one shot if he wanted to, he wants to prolong this, that`s why it`s taking so long
Mothra: Why would he want to prolong it?
Neo: That`s what I`m trying to find out… he`s drawing Evil energy from the battle…
Mothra: Ah, then it`s kinda obvious, because maybe… the negative feelings released by the battle are stronger…?
Neo: Hum… stronger, huh? Hmmm… Hey! *Opens eyes wide* Maybe… *Grabs the remote control and turns the TV on, the battle was on*

Ceri: You`re too slow!
Fury: I won`t be shamed any more! I`ll finish you and nobody will call me names ever again!! I… I don`t deserve that!

Lana: Heh, your move…
Lenore: I won`t… forgive you… I couldn`t do anything at that time and you took Neo away, but this time I`m not gonna stay still!!

Ewoyn: Tch, you sure got tougher…
Sereno: And why does that surprise you? Because you know I`m really a girl?
Ewoyn: Hey, I never said…
Sereno: Yeah, that`s what you`ll say… but I know better, I know what you think… I may act funny, but I never forgot how you made a fool out of me that time… the kiss… I`m gonna make you pay for that…

Kitone: Where`s that Neo?! I`ll show him my power, I`ll tear him to shreds!! It`ll be payback for last time, he thinks he`s so cool with his [CENSORED] wings, huh? I`ll show him...!

Razmiran: I`m your brother

Eirlyn: What`s the matter, Seras? Jealous of how close I am to Eon?
Seras: Idiot, can`t you see? He wasn`t Eon any more!
Eirlyn: Oh, that would be convenient for you, wouldn`t it? You were jealous of me, that`s why you hated me so much!
Seras: I didn`t hate you, dammit! Try to understand!!

Neo: Oh my gosh… *Still watching* Everyone`s… suffering?
Mothra: Suffering?
Neo: Yes, they all are… of course, everyone`s hiding it, but that`s the answer!
Mothra: Is it?
Neo: Yes, the generals hold personal grudges against us!
Mothra: Or viceversa…
Neo: Exactly! It`s not just a destined battle that had to happen, they`re full of resentment and hatred… that probably creates stronger negative energy
Mothra: That`s why Evil`s up there absorbing it instead of gathering normal energy… hey Neo, you think this energy has the power of making him…?
Neo: Material? It would make sense, specially because he didn`t tell us that
Mothra: Yeah, he told you everything else but not that, so that you`d think you know it all
Neo: But we don`t… well, not anymore. The fighting needs to cease
Mothra: But what are you gonna do? Go there and tell them to stop fighting?
Neo: No… how lame would that look? Not that they would do as I say, anyway
Mothra: You would only be able to stop the fighting from your side
Neo: And that wouldn`t do any good, considering how powerful the generals are now… argh, I`m stumped, I can`t believe I know what`s going on but can`t do anything about it
Mothra: And what about yourself?
Neo: About myself?
Mothra: No personal grudges?
Neo: M… me? N… no, of course not, I mean… it`s evil, it must be vanquished, but pers…
Mothra: What about Auryen? *Neo turns around and looks at the plushie*
Neo: Wh… what about her?
Mothra: Come on, Neo…
Neo: Okay, okay, it was Evil and all this mess that got her killed, but… but still… I know its not their fault… *Serious* It`s Evil itself who I want to destroy
Mothra: I see… that sounds about right, you`re determined
Neo: You should know that, after all you`re me
Mothra: Yeah, you do know you`re developing a severe case of schizophrenia, right?
Neo: Maybe, but if that`s the price to pay, so be it…
Mothra: So, how do we stop the fighting?
Neo: We need something… there`s something I must be overlooking… I need a symbol that reminds them what we`re doing this for originally…
Mothra: I know something you could use…
Neo: Me too, but it doesn`t exist anymore, the only thing that can help me is destroyed
Mothra: Are you sure about that?
Neo: Yes, I was there, I saw it with my own eyes… it`s useless now
Mothra: Oh, but we`re not in that world anymore…
Neo: *Lifts his head slowly* What did you say?
Mothra: That thing may not be in the other world anymore, but we`re in another world now, things are different here, Neo…
Neo: So… I can still…
Mothra: *Nods* Exactly
Neo: Wait, but how did you know that and I didn`t, if you are me?
Mothra: Not everything can be explained, Neo. Now go, there isn`t much time
Neo: I need to get there, first…
Mothra: No need, while we were having this chat inside your mind, your body was unconsciously moving. You`re in front of it right now
Neo: W… what?! Really?
Mothra: Aha, now go!
Neo: O… okay!

Flash! Journey out of Neo`s mind!

- Magatsu Isya

Lenore: *In the middle of the battle, lands just beside Koko* Koko, where the hell did Neo go?!
Kokoro: I… I don`t know! *Heals* He was here with us trying to decide what we should do and…
Lenore: Decide what we should do? We should fight! *Lana appears on top of a nearby tree*
Lana: Heh, you`re not getting away *Throws a couple of bombs* FUZZY BOMB!!
Lenore: *Dodges to the side* See? There`s no other way!
Kokoro: He didn`t think that, he said that…
Lenore: *Steps forward* But where is he?!
Kokoro: He left while he was thinking, he ran away
Lenore: What?!
Knivy: Yeah, like, really fast, he went the opposite side of the battle
Ewoyn: *Lands beside them* What, he left? He bailed on us?
Lenore: Of course not, he wouldn`t do something like that!
Ewoyn: But, he left how much time ago?
Kokoro: I… I don`t know… a while ago
Lenore: A while?! Where did he go?
Atoli: I think he went towards Burning Hill… *Sereno lands in front of Ewo*
Sereno: My, my, what is this, group therapy~?
Ewoyn: Dammit, he found me…
Knivy: Oh no, not him…
Sereno: If I heard correctly, your dear captain decided to take his leave, right? Oh-ho-ho-ho~!
Lana: *Walks towards them* Wise choice, but not as gallant as I thought he was, heh…
Lenore: *Points her hammer* YOU shut the [CENSORED] up, you don`t know what you`re talking about
Sereno: Oh, but I think we do~! *Smirks* After all, he`s not here, hm? Our friend Kitone won`t be pleased when she finds out…
Kitone: *Lands with a loud noise beside Sereno* What?! He ran away?!
Lana: Indeed, Kit
Kitone: That coward!! He can`t disappear before we`ve settled things! We need to see who`s stronger, dammit!! *Slams her sword against the ground*
Sereno: Now, now… I guess you`ll have to settle with some of these wonderful players until he comes back, yes? *Points at Koko and the others*
Lenore: What, you two are friends now?
Ewoyn: Heh, guess you forgot she cut you in half a couple of days ago, huh?
Sereno: Oh, but that`s in the past~ We don`t have to live in the past! *Smiles*
Ewoyn: Right, says the one who doesn`t hold any grudges at all
Sereno: *Serious* We`re fighting for a greater cause now… everything was carefully planned, we didn`t know before, but we do now, and we won`t let anything interfere
Ewoyn: *Loads an arrow* Then bring it on, fruit!
Sereno: Tch! *Loads magic energy in his hand*
Lenore: *Gets her shield ready* We`re not afraid, haha! *Suddenly, everything starts shaking* H… huh?
Knivy: Whoa! *Stumbles* What the…?!
Kitone: What is this?!
Kokoro: *Closes her eyes* I… I sense something enormous approaching! It… it`s…!!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/yamato2od3.jpg

All of a sudden, roaring through the trees, they saw a familiar shape approaching. They hadn`t seen it in a while, but there was no mistaking it. The Game Battleship Apoliner was there, flying at low altitude towards them. All the fighting ceased as everyone turned their eyes to the gigantic vessel…

Seras: It`s the…
Ako: But it can`t be, it was destroyed against the fortress, we crashed…
Nam: It`s as good as new, though… I can`t believe this *Neo appears standing in the beak of the ship*
Neo: Well, you better BELIEVE IT!!!
Lenore: Neo!! You left to get the ship?!
Neo: That`s right, the ship still exists in this world *Points to Evil* Bet you didn`t expect that, huh?
Evil: Heh, so you have your ship… now what? What are you gonna do with it? I`m almost finished here…
Eirlyn: Almost finished?
Evil: Indeed… *Extends his arm, now a different color than before, now it wasn`t something ethereal*
Eirlyn: Wow… master… but how…
Neo: He`s been using you the whole time! He`s just gathering the evil energy emanating from you and your negative feelings!
Eirlyn: Using us?
Razmiran: Heh, that`s not using us…
Fury: If that`s the way in which we can help, we`re glad to do it…
Neo: Don`t you see? Once he becomes material, you will be wiped out too, together with us!
Eirlyn: That`s stupid, why would that… ?
Evil: I`m afraid he`s right… but it`s too late to change that, my transformation is almost complete *Opens his arms wide* Once I`m done, I`ll wipe out every contaminated being and start my own Isya, a real Isya…

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc272/cristinalightning/Dissidia%20-Final%20Fantasy-/Dissidia%20Cosmos%20and%20Chaos/DissidiaChaos.png

Sereno: And we are…
Lana: Contaminated?
Evil: I am afraid you are, due to past events… but you were vital in achieving the desired outcome, you should feel proud of yourselves…
Lenore: Bull[CENSORED]!! Can`t you see what he did?! He took advantage of all of you!
Ewoyn: What can you expect of someone named “Evil” after all, huh?
Eirlyn: No, but…
Seras: We tried to tell you…
Evil: Heh… looks like you managed to stop the fighting… but as I said, it`s too late… in just a couple of minutes, I`ll be the ultimate being *Keeps absorbing leftover energy*
Kokoro: Oh, no…
Ceri: This can`t be happening…
Neo: Guys, don`t give up! We can do this together!
Evil: Hah hah hah! Don`t make me laugh… you think you can do something now that you have that stupid ship? I made that thing!
Neo: No, you`re wrong… you may have built it, but we made it… we turned it into what it is… the symbol of our freedom, of our struggle…

The ship starts glowing with bright energy coming from the crew

Evil: What is that…?!
Neo: Of our faith, and belief in our own sense of justice! Those are stronger than you`ll ever be!!
Evil: Impossible!!
Neo: Impossible is nothing… and this ship and me are gonna prove that to you! *Points finger*
Lenore: Wait, Neo, what are you going to do?!
Crystal: Is he gonna drive the thing into…?!
Ewoyn: No man, you`re gonna die!
Neo: *Looks at the crew and smiles* We won`t know until we try, hahaha…!
Nam: Neo we`re serious, don`t!!
Neo: Apoliner, go!! *The glowing ship starts moving towards Evil, increasing its speed by the second* This is our final stand…!! *Neo spreads his wings as the ship turns into a lightning spear* APOLINER SPEAR…!!!

GAME BATTLESHIP APOLINER

Chapter 35: Aftermath

This is it. This is the time. This is the place. After realizing what Evil`s true intentions were and trying to warn the Evil Generals about them, Neo finds out, together with the rest of his crew, that it is too late to stop his foe`s materialization. In the verge of losing the battle for good, the Captain boards his ship, the Game Battleship Apoliner, and unleashes the server`s last ray of hope…

- Magatsu Isya

Neo was standing over the beak of the Apoliner, pointing at a surprised Evil who couldn`t believe his eyes. The ship was rushing towards him at an increasing speed while glowing with bright, shining energy that almost hid the vessel`s original colours

Neo: This is our last stand…!!

As Evil crossed his arms in front of his body, getting ready to try and repel the unexpected attack, a pair of shining butterfly wings appeared in Neo`s back, the same pair that he had exhibited when finishing the Evil Lord. However, this time, his eyes weren`t red, and instead of a desperate, angered expression, his face looked determined. You could say that he was completely serious were it not for a subtle curve in his mouth that evidenced a smile… then he opened it

Neo: APOLINER SPEAR…!!!
Lenore: Neo, no…!!
Crystal: What is he doing…?!
Ako: Is he gonna…
Nam: No, he can`t! Neo, don`t…!!
Ewoyn: It`s too late…

The ship with Neo on it had turned into a huge lightning spear. Flying at supersonic speed high up in the dark green sky of Magatsu Isya, in front of the bad moon that so many negative feelings had seen, it reached Evil.

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/673788-master_of_strings_super.jpg

Evil: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO----------!!!

The moment it started piercing through the no longer aethereal being, a blinding light came out of the reunion of these two bodies, engulfing everything…

Neo: Oh geez, what do we have to lose?
Lenore: Exp
Neo: Oh… well… yeah, but… um… what else?
Lenore: Heh, we might as well give it a shot…
Neo: That`s the spirit! Now let`s go!

Neo: Let`s GEU! Follow me, it`ll be an advenchor!

Neo: I was trying to look up the skirt of life!!
Lenore: Whoa… that`s deep

Ako: Neo, this is no time for joking! What`s happening is very serious!
Neo: *Looks at Ako, very serious* EVERY time is time for joking

Lenore: How are we going to beat the bad guys with the ship?
Neo: Well… we`ll fly near them and… shoot the cannons, or ram them, or something like that, I guess…

Neo: No, this is our only hope, I can feel it… I know so *Looks at the key* I have to make it work to help everyone, to stop this nightmare!

Neo: *Speaking to himself* Captain`s log…
Ako: *Smiles* Pfffffttt…
Lenore: *Pouring coffee into a cup* Heh… heheh…
Neo: *Looks at them* What? Captain`s log

Neo: *Makes a cool motion with his arm* Everyone, to your positions! It`s time to fight!

Neo: What makes you think you can just appear and say all that [CENSORED] about me…?!
Doc: I told you, right now, I am you
Neo: YOU ARE NOT ME…!! *Neo runs up to the Doc and lunges, attacking*

Ewoyn: *Understanding smile* Don`t worry Neo, we got your back
Crystal: And you got ours!
Atoli: We won`t let anyone mess with our beliefs
Juneau: Yeah, we all want the same thing in the end…
Neo: I`m glad to hear that, guys… let`s get going now. Let`s show those evil guys what we`re made of…!! We`ll fight…
Everyone: *They all raise their fists* FOR GREAT JUSTICE…!!!

Neo: Believe in me, who believes in you… *Gets closer*
Aury: *Half closes her eyes* Neo… you…
Neo: I believe in you

Neo: *Turns around* SHUT UP!!! *Glares fiercely* You think you can take her from me just like that?! Just because you`re doing something you think it`s important?! Well, she`s important to me, and there`s no way in hell I`m gonna let you do anything to her!! Because, after all… she`s the person that matters the most to me!!

Neo: Everyone, get ready!! *Serious* This will probably be our final battle… *Smiles* So make it look pretty!!

FLASHBACK

Neo and Lenore are lying down next to each other in the grass covered fields of the Forest of Tides, looking at the sky
Neo: *Hands n the back of his head* Ah, I`m so bored…
Lenore: I should be doing so many things right now…
Neo: Like?
Lenore: I have an assignment for university that`s due in two days, I have to prepare a class for tomorrow, I have to feed my cat, do laundry, go shopping… *Sigh* But instead of doing some of that… I`m here, heh
Neo: Well, so am I!
Lenore: Yeah, but you don`t have to do so many things, like I do…
Neo: Yes I do, but I prefer not to talk about them because I`d get really depressed
Lenore: *Sigh* What would we do without procrastination?
Neo: Without procrastination… we prolly wouldn`t even be friends, I think
Lenore: True that… *Raises her hand* To procrastination
Neo: Amen!
Lenore: *Sigh* I should be leveling right now…
Neo: Oh, come on, Len… not that again
Lenore: Geez, what`s your problem with leveling?
Neo: It`s boring and it turns cool people into stupid people… *Sigh* What do you wanna level for? And don`t say you wanna…
Lenore: I want to cap
Neo: Argh, you said it…
Lenore: Look, I know you can`t stand it, but I wanna cap. It`s the same as beating the game
Neo: I know, I know… whatever, I`m bored out of my mind…
Lenore: Yeah, me too…
Neo: I just wish something would happen, you know? Something out of the ordinary, something special… and then, an adventure
Lenore: An adventure, huh?
Neo: Yes, an adventure! I`ve always wished for an adventure! You know, fighting evil, striking poses and saying cool phrases, that kind of stuff…
Lenore: Heh, that would be interesting…
Neo: Yes… darn, life is so boring, why don`t those things happen? Like on videogames…
Lenore: Well, we are on a videogame
Neo: You know what I mean… but, I haven`t lost hope… hey! *Sits*
Lenore: Hm?
Neo: You wanna level, right?
Lenore: Aha…
Neo: And I just wanna have fun
Lenore: Like girls
Neo: Huh?
Lenore: Girls just wanna have fun. Cyndi Lauper
Neo: Oh, shut up!
Lenore: Hahaha!
Neo: Look, there may be something we can do that will leave us both satisfied… a couple of days ago, I found this map…

END OF FLASHBACK

A week later…

- Forest of Tides

Zappy and Knivy were standing in the center of the map, away from the trees, nothing was blocking the sunlight that bathed them and the inoffensive imps that playful walked around them. Nam came walking towards them from the woods…

Knivy: Anything…?
Nam: Nope… *Sigh* Nothing…
Zappy: DANM
Crystal: *Comes walking from the beach* I`ve got nothing… nothing at all…
Knivy: He couldn`t just have disappeared…
Crystal: I don`t know… it`s been a week already
Nam: Yeah, we`ve been looking for a week but we can`t find him anywhere
Knivy: Where`s Lenore?
Nam: She`s still looking… she hasn`t stopped for days, she`s determined to find him somewhere…
Crystal: *Sigh* Len…
Ceri: *Arrives with Ako and Ewoyn* We`ve checked the Forest of Mist, but he`s not there
Ewoyn: It`s as if he vanished… do you think he…?
Ako: Don`t say it. We can`t lose hope, after all we did, peace finally returned to our server, we drove away the Evil force
Crystal: Yes… and we ended it for good, it`s not coming back
Ewoyn: Yes, that`s what it looks like, but… time has passed, and we were in another world… Neo could`ve died after that explosion, together with Evil
Knivy: Yes… as much as I hate to admit it, I think so too…
Ewoyn: We`re just clinging onto the idea that we`ll find him here, but…
Lenore: *Arrives* I can`t believe what I`m hearing
Knivy: Len!
Lenore: Guys, listen to yourselves! How can you be saying those things?!
Ewoyn: But, Len…
Lenore: No! Neo had hope and belived in us, now it`s our turn to have hope, we have to keep looking! He has to be in this world somewhere! I know it!
Ceri: Len, we all miss Neo, but we have no real evidence to believe that…
Lenore: Yes we do!
Ceri: We do…?
Lenore: Look, Neo was able to find the Apoliner in that other world, and it was unharmed, but in this world, it was completely destroyed, right? Now, our ship appeared in this world… and it is intact
Seras: Well said
Ewoyn: Hmm… you`re right. As if it was fixed…
Kokoro: That world had strange properties… I can`t say exactly what, but Len may be right
Juneau: Maybe Neo didn`t die in that explosion… or maybe he did, but only in that world… or maybe… argh, it`s all just too complicated!
Lenore: That`s why I`m sure he`s out there somewhere, and I`m gonna find him!
Nam: We have checked everywhere though… where are we gonna…

Suddenly, our heroes are surprised by a scary voice that thundered through the forest

Eerie voice: Hopeless players…!!
Zappy: OMGWTHBBQ *Jumps*
Crystal: What`s that…?!
Ewoyn: Sounds like…!!
Eerie voice: You thought you had gotten rid of me…?! Well, think again…!!
Ceri: Oh god, no… *Covers her mouth*
Lenore: It`s… no, it can`t be…!!
Nam: This can`t be happening… *Rubs his temples*
Eerie voice: This time your dear captain isn`t with you! It`s time for me to strike back and take this server once and for all…!!
Knivy: Where is he…?! *Looks around*
Kokoro: Oh my, what are we gonna do?!
Juneau: We`re done for… we can`t do anything at the moment…
Eerie voice: Prepare to feel the true power of the Evil Force!!
Ako: Argh, here he comes!! *Grabs her axe and looks around*
Lenore: Where`s he coming from? I don`t see anything!
Ceri: This can`t be, this can`t be… we already did this, he`s already dead…
Eerie voice: OVER HERE!!

Everyone turned their heads to the place where they heard the voice come from. Over one of the sand dunes that belonged to the path leading to Sand Beach, they saw a familiar figure standing in front of the sun, making him look like a silhouette in black. Neo`s armour was damaged, some parts of it were missing, his hair looked messy and the parts of his body that could be seen were covered in scars. He was holding a megaphone with his hand in front of his mouth

Koko: Huh?!
Atoli: Is that…?
Lenore: NEO!!
Neo: *Through the megaphone: Hahahaaa---!! You all fell for it...!! *Lowers the megaphone* But now… I think I`m gonna fall too… *Loses his balance and falls to the ground* Ungh…
Ceri: *Runs beside him* Neo, Neo!
Ewoyn: Neo, man, are you okay?! You don`t look too good!
Nam: What happened, Neo? Where did you go?!
Neo: I… *Sits down with effort* I can`t remember anything… after I was in that world… next thing I remember was lying on the beach, I think a wave woke me up… or maybe it was the giant crab
Lenore: Neo, you`re okay! You`re alive!
Knivy: We thought you were dead!
Lenore: Knivy!
Knivy: Well, um, Ewo and I did *Embarrassed*
Neo: Haha… that`s okay… how… how many time has passed?
Juneau: A week. It`s been a week since we came back from that world
Neo: A week…!
Atoli: Yes, and Neo, Evil isn`t around anymore! We beat him!
Seras: Thanks to you, I dare say. Who would`ve thought all we had to do was run into the [CENSORED] with the ship…
Neo: Pretty primitive, huh? Haha… *Pain stings* Ow…
Lenore: You`re wounded. We better get you to a doctor
Ewoyn: Len, you`re a cleric
Lenore: Oh yeah… I keep forgetting about that
Neo: Hey, wait… where are the others?
Ako: Which others?
Neo: Eirlyn and the others. The evil generals, are they alive?
Crystal: Oh, yes, they are okay… they are actually helping us look, right now they are checking Uruga again
Seras: Of course, only a week has passed, they`re all feeling extremely guilty, they`re helping but avoiding us a little… I wouldn`t blame them
Nam: I`m sure they want to talk to you and apologize too, Neo
Neo: I`m glad they were saved too… I thought we were gonna lose them or something *Sigh*
Knivy: Nah, everything`s fine… only you were missing
Zappy: Not anymore LOL
Lenore: Yeah, I might be a cleric, but we still better get you somewhere. You`re all hurt and it`d look like a cool ending, don`t you think?
Neo: Yeah, I agree *They help him get up*
Ewoyn: Come on, let`s go…

The group starts walking towards Elderine, Neo stays behind and looks at the sky

Neo: Goodbye… *Smiles*

He then hurries ans gets together with the others

Lenore: Yeah, now we take it easy, evil stuff won`t happen again
Ceri: We can finally rest… and stuff
Neo: Yeah, some adventure we had, huh? So, no more evil fighting for a while?
Seras: Sounds great to me, I`m sick of that evil [CENSORED]
Ako: I dunno, I had fun…
Kokoro: I think we could all use a break, besides, Evil`s gone for good, remember?
Ewoyn: Yeah, I don`t think we`ll be seeing any foe any time soon…
Neo: I wonder, guys… I wonder…

FLASHFORWARD

- Temple of Spirit

The crew is standing before an insanely powerful enemy that`s levitating in front of them, surrounded by enormous amounts of energy. Neo`s at the front, his hair`s longer and he`s wearing a different armour, not his classical McDonalds suit, in fact, everyone else is wearing different armour too. They`re all holding their weapons in battle stance, looking at their enemy with determination…

Allmighty foe: HAH HAH HAH, THIS IS YOUR END…!!
Neo: I don`t think so!!
Lenore: We`re Apoline`s defenders, we`re never gonna let anyone mess with our server!
Ako: We`ve done this before and we`ll do it again!!
Ewoyn: We won`t let anyone decide our future other than ourselves!
Neo: We`ll choose our own fate!!
Allmighty foe: AS YOU WISH!! *Gets ready to attack* DIEEEEE---!!
Kokoro: Here he comes!
Seras: *Sigh* Here we go again…
Neo: LET`S GO---!!

Chapter 36: Credit reunion

Neo`s in bed, fast asleep. I think this story had enough descriptions of Neo`s mind and dreams, so let`s just say he had a smile in his face and was snoring sonorely, with one of those anime bubbles coming out of his nose… His blissful nap was interrupted by heavy knocking on the wall

Neo: Hmm…? Huh? *Wakes up* Huh?! Wha?! When?! *Falls off the bed* Owww, ow, ow, owww… darn…

BRAVE BUTTERFLY – NEOSHAMAN

PROFESSIONAL PROCRASTINATOR – LENORE

Neo: Yeah, that`s what I`ve been trying to tell you!
Lenore: Well, hurry up and come downstairs!
Neo: But it`s early… *Rubs eyes* What`s the big deal anyway?
Lenore: Everyone`s here Neo, they`re waiting for you!
Neo: Everyone…? Oh! You mean everyone! *Smiles*
Ako: Is he awake? *Enters the room* Ah, hi Neo!

GORY GLADIATOR – AKO

Ako: Good job, Len!
Neo: Good job? It`s not that hard to wake me up, you know…
Lenore: Anyway, let`s hurry downstairs
Ako: Yes, everyone`s asking for you, they wonder if you`re okay
Lenore: And you certainly are, so let`s move!
Neo: Yeah, I wanna see them all too…! *The three of them go downstairs*
Ako: Neo, you shouldn`t run…
Neo: Haha, I don`t think so! *Runs down the stairs, but Zappy is in the way*
Zappy: WAT

TINY TROLL – ZAPPY

Neo: Whoa---!! *Bumps into Zappy*
Zappy: OMG *They both roll downstairs*

Zappy: *Gets up, mad* WTH N00B

NATURAL NINJA – CERI

Lenore: That`s right, it was high time he woke up anyway…
Neo: *Gets up* Hahaha, sorry to keep you waiting, guys… *The living room was crowded*
Ceri: That`s okay, we were having fun without you anyway, heheh…
Neo: Come on, as if that was even possible!
Crystal: Oh, I think it is! For example, Ceri just said… she said… wait a sec, what was it she said?

CLUMSY CONJURER – CRYSTAL

Ceri: It doesn`t matter, just a silly joke, hahaha…
Crystal: Oh no, but it was really good! I need to remember…
Ceri: No, really, let it go Crys, it`s better if you just…
Crystal: But…
Knivy: She was probably just poking fun at someone anyway, hmph…

KNIFE KID – KNIVY

Neo: Hey, I`m the one who does that… *Crosses arms*
Lenore: Well, you were asleep just now
Ako: And gone for seven days, we had to cover your quota of lame jokes y`know…
Crystal: Oh, I just remembered!
Ceri: Crystal, don`t…!
Crystal: … and I just forgot again… well, it was about Ewoyn and his gender change *Shrugs*
Ewoyn: Say what…?!

MALE MISTRESS – EWOYN

Ewoyn: What was it that you said…?!
Ceri: Nothing, really, hahaha… *Embarrased*
Crystal: Oops…
Neo: Hahaha~ *Sniffs the air* Hey, what`s that smell? It`s delicious!
Knivy: Should be, Nam`s in the kitchen
Neo: Oh, I see! Excellent!
Nam: *From the kitchen* The snacks will be ready soon…!!

CARING COOK – NAM

Ewoyn: Yeeee-haw! Nam just saved your butt, Ceri!
Ceri: Wouldn`t be the first time he does, haha~

Nam: If I hurry up, they won`t be tasty, Ewo- Quick or tasty, you pick
Ewoyn: Ummm… I`m gonna go with quick
Kokoro: Guys, we`re ignoring our guests!

LITERATE LASS – KOKORO

Seras: Pshhh, you`re not that important… *Crosses arms*

MATURE MECHANIC – SERAS

Neo: Oh, hi Seras
Seras: Can you please tell the crowd where the hell you were during that week while we were looking for you?
Lenore: Whoa, easy there…
Neo: Really, I don`t remember, haha… sounds weird, but I don`t remember anything after I crashed against Evil, nothing at all…
Atoli: You just woke up in the beach a week after that, right?

ADORABLE ARCHER – ATOLI

Neo: Yeah, that`s right…
Kokoro: How odd… you just vanished for an entire week, then?
Neo: I have no idea what happened during that time
Juneau: Well, maybe you just were unconscious, I don`t know…

SARCASTIC SUPPORTER – JUNEAU

Ewoyn: Yeah, probably, just, drifting in the middle of the sea like Tom Hanks
Knivy: He was conscious
Ewoyn: I know, that was kinda the problem…
Seras: I really wonder what happened to you during that time…
Knivy: Maybe he was floating around in the space continuum, maybe he was in heaven…
Crystal: Talking about heaven… Neo, are you better about, you know… Aury?

COMPLICATED CAPTAIN – AURYEN

Neo: Yeah… *Serious* Yeah, I am…
Crystal: That`s good…
Neo: I guess I already avenged her… but she ain`t coming back
Lenore: Neo…
Ewoyn: Man, if you need anything…
Neo: Dude, I`m fine, really *Smiles* Besides, we have her crew here… what are they gonna think?
Seph: I still can`t believe it…

BASHFUL BODYGUARD – SEPHORION

Neo: Seph, I`m sorry…
Seph: It`s not your fault… and it`s not like I`m beating myself up about it, it just puts me a bit down. I`ve had time to digest it, too
Lenore: Yeah, we had to tell them when we came back to this world, they picked us up in the Emissary
Ako: We were desperate because we couldn`t find you anywhere
Neo: I see… and you told them that I had gone missing and that Aury was…
Magi: Yeah, they did

MISSING MAGE – MAGI

Neo: Must`ve been pretty hard…
Seph: It was, we were all really fond of Captain Spinaury…
Magi: She will be missed
Seph: *Smiles* But oh well, we aren`t here to talk about all that!
Naimh: Um, actually, we are

REALISTIC RADAR – NAIMH

Naimh: What else are we going to talk about, then?
Seph: Well, yeah, I know, I meant… argh, it`s always so hard with you, Nai…
Naimh: But we have to talk about what happened, I mean, we finally get to see Neo, so…
Magi: Argh, you`re killing me, Nai…
Naimh: Um, no I`m not?
Athemis: Guys, cut it out! It`s my turn to appear in the credits!

FAMOUS FAILURE – ATHEMIS

Athemis: What?! Famous Failure?!
Neo: Hahaha, yeah!
Athemis: How come everyone else gets an epic title like “Bashful Bodyguard” and “Gory Gladiator”?!
Neo: Well, I don`t know, I just…
Athemis: Agh, forget it! *Crosses arms* I`m tired of this!
Kokoro: Guys… some people want to talk…
Kitone: Yeah, um…

VIOLENT VILLAINESS – KITONE

Neo: Ah, you guys are here too!
Kitone: Yeah…
Lenore: They`ve changed now… they`re really timid
Kitone: Well, I wouldn`t say “Timid”, but we really don`t know how to act around you guys…
Neo: It`s fine, Kit, you weren`t yourselves…
Kitone: We`re terribly sorry… about everything
Neo: Well, there was only one death, and it was Mrew

FELINE FLIRT – MREW

Lenore: Oh yeah, I remember that! *Laughs*
Kitone: Yeah… me too… *Looks down*
Lenore Oh *Stops laughing* Yeah… I guess that… now that you`re back to normal… it`s not funny… at all. Sorry
Ewoyn: But, hey, we know it wasn`t you guys who did it…
Sereno: Oh-ho-ho-ho~ I`m glad you don`t bear any grudges then~

FLAMING FRUIT – SERENO

Ewoyn: Agh, that laughter… and voice…
Knivy: I guess you were like this even before Evil took over you, huh?
Sereno: Excuse me~? *Glares while smiling*
Knivy: N… nothing…
Sereno: I really appreciate the fact that you`re okay with… well… with that I did to you
Ewoyn: It`s fine, actually, I kinda like it
Razmiran: Yeah, he looks better that way, heh…

BITTER BROTHER – RAZMIRAN

Ewoyn: Is that a compliment?
Razmiran: Wasn`t intended as such… but you said that you liked it, so I don`t know…
Ceri: I`m pretty confused myself…
Razmiran: Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I`m sorry too. For what we did and stuff…
Crystal: As we said, you don`t need to…
Fury: Yeah, I won`t say I`m sorry unless you stop calling me…

BRASH BUTTFACE – FURY

Fury: DAMN!!
Neo: Hahaha, sorry…
Fury: I can`t stand it anymore, I need to cut stuff in half!
Nam: Well, I`m glad to heard that! *Comes from the kitchen and leaves a tray of snacks in the table* Here, take this *Gives Fury a knife* Cut to your heart`s contempt!
Fury: Yes---!!
Knivy: Hey, isn`t that one of my knives?!
Ewoyn: Who cares, it`s chow time…!! *Grabs a snack*
Neo: Oh yeah, I`ve been waiting for this! *Grabs three*
Lana: Geez, don`t you guys have any manners?

NUTELLA NUISANCE – LANA

Seras: I don`t think they do…
Lenore: Let`s not stray for the subject. Basically, you guys are the same as us, hadn`t it been for Evil`s twisted plan, we would`ve ended up as Evil generals, just like you
Ako: So in the end, there`s nothing to be sorry about
Atoli: I`m just glad everyone could make it…
Seph: Hmph… *Raises his head*
Atoli: Well… not everyone *Turns red* Sorry
Eirlyn: Thanks for understanding. I guess we can start to get along now, huh?

POMPOUS PRINCESS – EIRLYN

Lana: If you don`t get your little drama with Seras get in the way, that is… *Looking away*
Eirlyn: Lana!!
Lana: What? It`s true… *Bites a snack* Ugh, yuck… *Takes a pot of nutella out of her pocket and dips the snack in it* Much better…
Seras: I`m willing to overlook that problem, it`s in the past…
Atoli: Wait, what problem?
Juneau: *Whispers* That thing I told you with Eon…
Atoli: Eon…?
Juneau: The Evil Lord…
Atoli: Oh, the Evil Lord!

EVIL LORD – EVIL LORD

Juneau: Yeah, that…
Eirlyn: I can`t believe that… even after escaping from the influence of the Evil Lord… we let Evil use us as pawns
Ceri: I get really confused with this talk about Evil Lord, Evil force, Evil generals and just Evil…
Neo: Well, you couldn`t help it *Gobbles a snack* We better not look too much into it
Eirlyn: Yeah, it`s true… I still can`t believe it, stupid Evil!

EVIL EVIL – EVIL

Naimh: Oh well, I guess we`ll have to start thinking about the future now…
Ewoyn: I like that!
Ako: Yes, after all, we still have the ship!
Neo: Oh yeah, you guys did the say the ship was intact!
Kokoro: Neo, it`s as good as new. I`ve seen it
Neo: Whoa, that`s hard to believe… but I guess that if I`m here after what happened… then the ship being here isn`t that strange…
Ceri: Aha, aha...
Neo: Oh! And, hey, do people know about what we did?
Lenore: Oh yes, we haven`t told you that already! People may have not seen us exactly the moment we fought Evil, or the Lord, but... the Apoliner is too big to be kept in secret, you know...
Ewoyn: Dude, we`re freaking heroes!
Neo: What, really?!
Ewoyn: Yes! With merchandising and all! Look! *Takes out something out of his pocket*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/yamato1.jpg

Neo: Dude... that`s... awesome!! It`s a replica of the Apoliner!!
Seras: Tch, now that`s stupid...
Ewoyn: How can you say that, Seras?!
Neo: Yeah, I mean... wow... *Admires the figure*
Seras: It`s stupid. You`re stupid, you told everyone the story, too
Neo: Oh, you did? I prolly would`ve done the same thing...
Ewoyn: Yes, and man, you haven`t seen anything yet... *Takes out a poster* Listen to this... they`re turning it... into... a... into a flippin` anime series...!! *Unrolls the poster*

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/yamato-Kodai-Yuki13.jpg

Neo: WHOA!! Is that me?! And... hey, who`s that guy in the back?
Ewoyn: That guy? The dead one?
Neo: Yeah... who is he?
Ewoyn: Oh, it doesn`t matter, haha... *Rolls the poster back*
Seras: No. Tell him
Neo: Huh?
Ewoyn: Oh, well, I changed a couple of details about our story... just a little...
Neo: Ewo... who is the dead guy in the poster?
Ewoyn: Um... Zombie Hitler
Neo: What?!
Ewoyn: Hey, the masses will love it!
Crystal: So… what are we going to do now?
Nam: I say we have some fun!
Fury: Now that`s a good idea! *Stands up*
Razmiran: But what do we do…?
Kitone: Hey Neo… I still want to have that duel, you know *Smirks*
Neo: *Eating* Oh yeah…? Well… *Swallows* Then we should do it!
Magi: It`s amazing how vanquishing Evil makes everyone get along with each other…
Seph: Yeah, it`s almost magic…
Naimh: Um, no Seph, it`s not magic…
Seph: Argh, enough!! *Covers ears*
Eirlyn: Okay then, why don`t we go outside?
Lenore: Yeah, my house is too little for us all, I`m starting to realize!
Neo: Okay!! *Gets up* Let`s go, everyone!!
Athemis: I`m gonna beat you all, you`ll see!! *Runs outside*
Fury: No way, I`m gonna cut you in half! *Runs after her*
Seras: Don`t you get tired of saying that…? *Walks outside*
Neo: Heheh *Smiles* I guess we all have our catchphrases *Looks at Lenore*
Lenore: You`re itching to go outside and play
Neo: Yes
Lenore: You think I`m gonna tell you to rest
Neo: Yes
Lenore: Well, I won`t. Go play, but be careful!
Neo: You`re not my mother, heh…
Lenore: You`re really lucky I`m not, now go!
Neo: Heheh, seeya outside…!! *Runs through the door and through the streets of Elderine, where the others are waiting, then jumps and raises his fist* WHOO-HOO!!

Thank you for reading!

http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq222/Neoshaman2/Apocardbattle.jpg

Whoa, what is this? It`s Game Battleship Apoliner`s brand new Trading Card Game! Play with a friend and battle using your favourite characters from this record-breaking forum anime!

Sweet! What do I need? You and your friend need either one deck each, or you can both play with the same deck if you have only one. The size of the deck is determined by the players, it has no limit. You might also want to have a coin around, and something to write on

Okay, and how do I play? Well, each player starts off with 20 health points, your objective is to reduce your opponent`s health points to 0. How to achieve such a goal? Keep reading...

Getting started:
You and your opponent draw 5 cards each, from your decks or from the same deck if that`s how you`re playing. After deciding who goes first with a coin flip, the one that starts draws a card. Each player will draw a card at the beggining of his/her turn. After drawing a card, the player may declare a battle...

Battles:
You and your opponent will both place a character card face down in front of each other. Then, the player whose turn it is, will declare a battle rule. There are 6 different rules, corresponding to the stats of a card: Courage, Charm, Academics, Strength, Insanity and Spam. After the rule has been declared, both players flip their character cards and compare the stat that corresponds with the rule chosen by the challenger (If its a "Courage battle", you`ll compare the "Courage" stat) the character with the highest stat wins the battle. The loser takes one point of damage to his/her health points and both character cards that took part in the battle will go to their respective player`s discard pile (Or to the only discard pile, if you`re using only one deck)

Abilities:
Note that each character has a special ability that has to be taken into account after flipping the card and before comparing the stats, these abilities can turn the results of battles upside down, so its important that you apply them correctly

Card clash:
If, after applying abilities, both battling characters have the same number on their stat, this is considered a draw and a "Card clash" occurs. A coin is flipped and the stat that cannot be expressed with numbers, Luck, comes into play. The winner of the coin flip wins the battle

Star stats:
Also note that characters have a star beside one of their stats. This is called their "Star stat", if the character wins a battle using this stat, it deals two points of damage to the opponent instead of one

Types:
Each character card has a "Type" that can be any of these three: Power, Knowledge and Laughter. These help in applying abilities and have hidden properties that will soon be discovered...

Technique cards:
Coming soon...!

Game over:
The game ends when a player loses all of his/her health points, and the other player is declared the winner. If a player`s deck runs out of cards (Or both players, if they`re playing with the same deck) before this happens, theplayer will shuffle his/her discard pile (Again, only one if you`re using one deck) which will become a new deck

Amazing! And where are the cards? The cards will be released in this thread inbetween chapters, but to get you started here`s the Starter Expansion of Apoliner`s Card Battle!

There we go, now you can expand your decks and duke it out with your friends with the Subspace Emissary`s crew, the new minions, and the Evil Lord himself! There`s a card missing, Magi`s, because he (Or she... I now realize I don`t know) didn`t provide his screenshot, as soon as he does, I`ll add his card to the group (It`s already done, just missing the screenie) and, who knows, maybe even more cards are to come, you never know! So get your decks ready, and remember...

IT`S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DUEL...!!!

That`s right! Finally, what you`ve all been waiting for! (And no, it`s not Seras` hentai pic collection, because I said "All") Game Battleship Apoliner`s OST is here, a collection of modified songs (Or maybe even brand new, who knows? I may get sudden inspiration) about the story that`s been shaking the forums (Waahh!) for a couple of months now! But of course, you`re not gonna get all of them at once, no. Why not? Because they`re not done yet, smart one. I`ll go adding them as they appear~

I recommend you read it listening to the original song, or after having listened to it, so that you know how the music goes.

"I`m on a ship" - Neo DMC Feat. Len-Ore
(Original: "I`m on a boat" - The Lonely Island)

Oh [CENSORED], get your weapons ready
It`s about to take off
Everybody in the place hit the [CENSORED] deck
Stand there in [CENSORED] rows
We running this, let`s go

I`m on a ship, I`m on a ship
Everybody look at me
It`s a [CENSORED] battleship
I`m on a ship, I`m on a ship
Just apply, join the crew
Of the [CENSORED] ship

I`m on a ship, [CENSORED], that is not lie
Soaring all over our server`s blue digital sky
Shooting spam bots, we`re on a really long trip
You can`t stop us, [CENSORED], cause we`re on a ship

If you PK or leech, you`re going down, [CENSORED]
We are enhancing our stuff, but man we`re not rich
I`ve got my crew here, girls and boys and Zappy
We fight bad guys, make some jokes
Just to keep you happy

I`m riding on a N.O.O.B., shooting beams and [CENSORED]
The N.O.O.B.s are robots, and now you know that you`re set
But this ain`t Star Wars, this is real as it gets
I`m on a ship, [CENSORED] don`t you ever forget

I`m on a ship, man, it`s going fast, and
If evil players attack, we get the job done
I`m the king of the world, on a ship with Neo
If you`re all into gore, you`re Ako not Ewo
Get the [CENSORED] up, this ship is real

[CENSORED] Eld, I`m on a ship, [CENSORED]
[CENSORED] shops, I don`t need those, [CENSORED]
I`m on the deck with my boys, [CENSORED]
Our weapons aren`t toys, [CENSORED]

Guys, this [CENSORED] is so much better than Wow
Come with me holding your sword, mace or bow
Gonna fly this ship, save the world somehow
With you by my side, anything is possible

Yeah, never thought I`d be on a ship
Feel the excitement moving my lower lip
Game Master, look at me, oh, all hands on keys
I`m just happy that is all I can say
With adventures stepping right in my way
Believe when I say
I made out with a Sylph

I`m on a ship, I`m on a ship
Everybody look at me
It`s a [CENSORED] battleship
I`m on a ship, I`m on a ship
Just apply, join the crew
Of the [CENSORED] ship

"Save this world" - Captains Neo and Auryen
(Original: "Save this world" - Kelli Sae)

Who said we are lost again in this lonely world
I say we can start again, we're on the same ship
It's called Starship Earth

It is not too late, it's our home so don't say that it's fate
We must not give up to build our future on our dreams
We will never lie down to die
But we'll find a way to survive
We all have somebody we love
We know that's why we're here

We battle for freedom
It is a battle against the Dark
I have my dreams
You know im not afraid of bleeding

It is the time!

We battle for tommorow
It is a battle against time
And we can do miracles
So take my hand, we need to save this world!

It was a hard time, so many tears and so not for nothing
To give up is not a choice, it's a fight we have to win
I can not live with out faith
Even if i'm faced with death
We all have somebody we love
We know that's why we're here

We battle for freedom
It is a battle against the Dark
We all have dreams
And each of them is to be realised

It is the time!

We battle for tommorow
It is a battle against time
Too many tears have been shed
For the same fear

We need to save this world!

We will never lie down to die
But we'll find a way to survive
We all have somebody we love,
We know that's why we're here

We battle for freedom
It is a battle against the Dark
I have my dreams
You know i'm not afraid of bleeding
It is the time!

We battle for tommorow
It is a battle against time
And we can do miracles
So take my hand
We need to save this world!

"Beautiful but mean"
(Original: "Killer Queen" - Queen)

Sporting tall rabbit ears
Once she showed up in my deck
Her breasts weren`t hiding well
Those two could`ve caused a wreck
Lost in her body`s joys
Till the time she raised her voice
Then she took my concentration
Back from Cloud Nine

An eyepatch across her face
At mechanics she`s an ace
Puts everyone in their place

Beautiful but mean
Something that you`ll never clench
Try and meet her monkey wrench
This girl can kick your behind
Anytime

If this beast you try to tame
You`ll have nobody to blame
You`re too lame

She was never on vacation
Always had to fix some place
Upon frustration
Her words hit as hard as a mace
She wore a red kimono
But still she was a no-no
Within her was a secret
That she didn`t know

Her axe helped her deal with stress
For levels she couldn`t care less
She never said things twice

Beautiful but mean
Something that you`ll never clench
Try and meet her monkey wrench
This girl can kick your behind
Anytime

When in a fight, she`s as willing as
As brave as a valiant knight
Sometimes getting in the action
Sometimes studying the plight
Really hard to make this rhyme, rhyme

Beautiful but mean
Something that you`ll never clench
Try and meet her monkey wrench
This girl can kick your behind
Anytime

If this beast you try to tame
You`ll have nobody to blame
You`re too lame

"Apoliner Babies" - Baby Neo and Baby Koko
(Original: "Ducktales" - Walt Disney`s Ducktales)

Life was like a dodgeball game
Back in preschool
Growing up is such a shame
It was so cool
Why don`t we rewind?
Let`s see what`s behind

Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
First they save the world and now they`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
They don`t have to study `cause they`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)

Adults, all they do is grind
They want levels
Babies, we`re one of a kind
Yeah, we`re rebels
When we`re not chilling
Our life is thrilling

Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
Watching our cartoons because we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
No more sexual jokes because we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)

D-D-D-Danger! Watch behind you
Eirlyn`s gang is out to find you
What to do? Remember that we`re babies

Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
Minding our own business `cause we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
Doing flips and [CENSORED] because we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)

D-D-D-Danger! Watch behind you
Eirlyn`s gang is out to find you
What to do? Remember that we`re...

Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
First they save the world and now they`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
They don`t have to study `cause they`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
Minding our own business `cause we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)
Doing flips and [CENSORED] because we`re
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)

Make way for the Apoliner
Babies! (Whoo-hoo!)

"Game of confusion" - Neoshaman
(Original: "Land of confusion" - Genesis)

I must`ve felt a thousand chills
Been warred by half a million guilds
Once more I hear the violent sounds
They`re coming into the towns

All you can see around is hate
Since players saw the patch update
And now that Outspark`s had its cover blown
We all know, we`re on our own

There`s too many men
Too many players
Who don`t care about others
And not much love to go round
Can`t you see
This is our game of confusion

This is the game we`re playing
And these are the chars we`re given
Use them and let`s start trying
To make it a place worth playing in

If only people learnt the way
Of playing but without a prey
So many attitudes are sour
So many players blinded by power

Nothing`s a crime
It`s all a race
Can this lead to our future?
But there`s not much love to go round
Can`t you see
This is our game of confusion

This is the game we`re playing
And these are the chars we`re given
Use them and let`s start trying
To make it a place worth playing in

I remember long ago
Ooh, when the cap was ninety
Together we would fight
I was your knight
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago

I`m not going to sleep tonight
Not till I get this problem right
In others we shall have to think
If we don`t, server`s gonna sink

There`s too many men
Too many players
Who don`t care about others
And not much love to go round
Can`t you see
This is our game of confusion

Now, this is the game we`re playing
And these are the chars we`re given
Use them and let`s start trying
To make it a place worth playing in

This is the game we`re playing
And these are the chars we`re given
Use them and let`s start trying
To make it a place worth playing in

"If you PK`d" - Lenore and Ako
(Original: "If you were gay" - Avenue Q)

Ako
Ah, an afternoon alone with my favourite movie
"Guinea pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood"
Nobody`s here to bother me...
How could it get any better than this?

Lenore
Oh, hi Ako!

Ako
*Sigh* Hi Len...

Lenore
Hey Ako, you`ll never
Guess what happened to me
On the abyss this morning
This guy was following me and killing me...

Ako
That`s very interesting

Lenore
He was being a real jerk
And I think he was doing it for fun
I think he might`ve thought I was weak!

Ako
Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this?
Why should I care?
I don`t care
Did you manage to do some grinding?

Lenore
Oh, you don`t have to get
All defensive about it, Ako...

Ako
I`m NOT getting defensive!
What do I care about some PKer you met, okay?
I am trying to watch a movie

Lenore
Oh, I didn`t mean anything by it, Ako
I just think it`s something we should be able to talk about...

Ako
I don`t want to talk about it
Lenore! This conversation is over!

Lenore
Yeah, but...

Ako
OVER!!!

Lenore
Well... okay, but just so you know...

If you PK`d
That`d be okay
I mean `cause hey!
I`d like you anyway
Because you see
If it were me
I would feel free to say
That I PK`d
(I don`t PK)

Ako
Len, please!
I am trying to watch!
... what?!

Lenore
Please be sincere

Ako
Ah, Len!!

Lenore
I`d still be here

Ako
Len, I`m trying to watch this movie

Lenore
Year after year

Ako
Lenore!!

Lenore
Because you`re dear to me

Ako
Argh!!

Lenore
And I know that you

Ako
What?

Lenore
Would accept me too

Ako
I would?

Lenore
If I told you today
"Hey! Guess what?
I PK!"
(I don`t PK)

I`m happy
Just being with you

Ako
*Closes eyes* Gore, blood, guts...

Lenore
So why would it
Matter to me
If you mop the floor
With guys?

Ako
Len, I don`t do that!!

Lenore
Oh, come on~!
If you PK`d!
I`d shout HOORAY~!

Ako
I am not listening!

Lenore
And here I`d stay

Ako
La la la la la!

Lenore
But I wouldn`t report
Or tell

Ako
Ahhh!!

Lenore
You can count on me
From you I won`t flee
Players you like to slay
It`s just the way you play
You like to hunt for prey
And as they say
For charms you have to pay
PK!

Ako
BUT I DON`T PK!!

Lenore
If you PK`d

Ako
GAAAAHHH...!!

Looks really nice Neo. I have a suggestion though. You know how there are so many characters it can get pretty confusing as to who is who, especially to a new reader? Why not make an index like in the front of manga?

[universalmaster001]

at the end of chapter 23 when their talking about the generals dissapearing if you were talking about the generalls that atked the apoliner you put 1 of the generals were killed and 1 got away but actually 2 were killed and only 1 got away but if you were talking about the 2 generals that atked the s.s.e then you need to fix it because if they were talking about them it means 1 of them was killed but it didnt mention either of them dying so you need to fix that so ppl dont get confused if i find any other discrepancys ill let you know

[badfury]

Man go read the next chapter and you'll know.

I`ll look into it, thanks for pointing it out... sometimes I got confused about what I knew was going on and what the characters knew was going on...

Let`s see... ah yeah, my mistake. They`re talking about the ones that attacked the Apoliner, I should`ve put that two were killed, instead of one. Just a number though, but good call! Attentive reading that is!

I`ll fix it right away, thanks again!

[badfury]

Hmmm wait i thought that was a clone o.o and not really the real dude.

[ShonenHero]

Hmmm wait i thought that was a clone o.o and not really the real dude.

But the characters didn`t know that at that time, Fury...

[badfury]

Oh,icic.....Noobs lmao.

[ShonenHero]

Oh,icic.....Noobs lmao.

I`m digging your siggy, Fury. You`re accepting who you really are *Nods slowly*

Oh, I love Battle Royale, Fury, hahaha~ The second one isn`t nearly as good as the first one, though (The sentai actors make it funny, though!)

Neo, how do you make your siggys change like that, even for different posts?

It`s a page where you get an URL that randomly loads a different pic from a list of your choice every time. I`ll show you on MSN as soon as I get home from Uni~

[Dragonfly77]

Sorry Neo. I'm having internet connection problems atm. Send me a pm instead kay?

[badfury]

Oh, I love Battle Royale, Fury, hahaha~ The second one isn`t nearly as good as the first one, though (The sentai actors make it funny, though!)

[T3h_SyN]

The following is an excerpt from a conversation that may or may not have taken place:

Fury: Hey Kit.
Kitone: *throwing pencils up in the air, trying to get 'em stuck in the roof. Not having much luck* Damn... Hmm, sup Fury?
Fury: You working on the game?
Kitone: *looks at the screen of her computer, the program to make the game is open but she's still trying to get the pencils stuck* Yep...
Fury: Now?
Kitone: *A pencil falls back ont her head.* Yep.
Fury: Can I see?

*This led to a scrambling of screenie taking, saving and posting to the dev blog*

There is an update there, sadly I've been informed that I can no longer post the link publicly on the forums. My lurking shows that there are still posts of mine that have the link in them, otherwise you'll have to pm me to get the link. I'm pretty sure that a google search of "ChocolatyAwsm" should narrow the results down to what you're looking for. And to any higher-ups, feel free to totally drop that last part out if needs be.

*sprouts two extra arms*

Four thumbs up!!

*extra arms vanish- only two armrests on chair, gotta be comfy*

Oh...my....gawd....that was flat-out hysterical! Mucho fantastico! Okay, hang up the shaky non-English 'fore I make myself look too stupid, I do enough of that in the only language I fully grasp.

Worth all 3 sittings it took to read it, and then some! :D

And just in case I didn't mention it- that was goood.

My dears, my dears~! Last saturday I was interviewed by the OutsparkClub~!

With Gigee, Alden and Centrix, we talked about Apoliner, O.C.P.D., and all sorts of crazy stuff, if you missed the live show, you can listen to the recording by clicking HERE (http://outsparkclub.net/live/episodes/7/)

[ShonenHero]

Gyahaha, six months~! I took some breaks, though

Um, um, um, I want a sequel.
Ok, I said it, I do want one...
What happened to people respawning............

Heh, we`ll see, we`ll see... I want more people to read this, actually, before I attempt any sequel (That`s why nobody should forget about telling your friends!) And maybe, a spiritual sequel. Meaning, no ship, but a continuation...

What happaned to Attilla? He just poofed.

He didn`t follow the rules of the ship, and had to be banished from it. I apologize for that oddity in the story (Him dissappearing, I mean)

The first demo is almost done, almost. Only have 3 more maps to make and then we have in house testing, Then public release.

Yessss~! That`s my Kitone, I`m really looking forward to it! *Claps enthusiastically*

Guys! Apart from the upcoming videogame, there`s new artwork coming right up, by the hands of Captain Spinaury, so stay tuned! (I`ll make you stay tuned, though, by posting something in General Discussion when the new stuff comes out)

[Aeriex]

;sldjf;asdkfj Neoooo You need to write more stuff like this D:
I really enjoyed reading it .-.

[GM_Nekopon]

I can't.. get myself.. to finish this...

[Lukasz_Lucky]

O.o videogame coming? I will so try it out. Will there be a Closed Beta Test xD?

Anyone mind reminding me when the game gets out please?

Off-Topic: woot woot, getting 14 tomorrow ^^

[ShonenHero]

Ganbaru yo~!! So close, so close, you can`t give up now!

Anyone mind reminding me when the game gets out please?

Heheh, don`t worry Lucas, me and Kit are gonna make it huge when it comes out, there`s gonna be a new thread and everything. There`s no way you can miss it, huhuh~

[aunty_em]

Hehehe

Now, if you will excuse me...

And trying to think of a way to make a Fan Fiction.....
I Like COMEDY!!!

Please note: The poster just may be insane, but then again, nobody is completely sane.

Well, my dear, comedy is the way to go! You can`t go wrong with comedy, no, no. Careful though, it`s harder than drama and adventure! Combine different flavors for maximum safety, but make sure one is dominant... like in this story!

[badfury]

Oh oh oh and the one and only Zac Efron is gonna voice the one and only FuryDS in the awsome video game!Jk,i hate zac efron lol.

[aunty_em]

Hey Neo, I noticed something weird...
Zappy often just THROWS arrows to attack, I have noted 3 occurrences of it in times before they even got to the Evil Fortress...
Is Zappy just so 1337 that he can cause damage by THROWING his arrows?

[ShonenHero]

Oh, um, haha... erm... yeah, well, sometimes I messed up and said "Throw" instead of "Shoot"... ^^U

Because, I, um... like to... variate... my verbs...

No, really now, it`s a language mistake in my tiny but not invisible language barrier (Like the "Tripulation" thing)

[GM_Nekopon]

I think throwing arrows are sort of sexy... You're a human bow.

[T3h_SyN]

O.o videogame coming? I will so try it out. Will there be a Closed Beta Test xD?

Off-Topic: woot woot, getting 14 tomorrow ^^

To answer your questions, in the order they were asked:
1.Yea, a game is coming it's been in the works for months now.
2. Yea there will be a CBT, but unfortunately I've already chosen my testers.
3. Neo answered this already, Go Neo!

And trying to think of a way to make a Fan Fiction.....
I Like COMEDY!!!
I like comedy too, as far as advice goes write what you find easy to write and then come up with a story.

Hey Neo, I noticed something weird...

Why yes Zappy is that 1337, unfortunately my word can't answer this one... NEOOOO!1!

[ShonenHero]

I kinda miss Zappy

[T3h_SyN]

Did neo just bump his own thread?! Why yes, yes he did!

-Edit: Cause usually I do it >_>'

[badfury]

I like pokemon!Gooooooooo kitone!*throw pokemonball out and kit come out*

[T3h_SyN]

Fury, even if you had all 32 badges that exist in the pokemon games I still wouldn't listen to you in combat. I'd just pwn things with my awsm then walk off into the sunset all cool like.

[Dragonfly77]

Kit, once I bother to defeat the Elite Four, I challenge you to a battle with one of my teams. o.o

(I'm right before Victory Road...too lazy to complete it v.v)

[GM_Nekopon]

I wanna battle!

[badfury]

I wanna play the new pokemon game but nooo i just have to be a jerk and sold my freaking ds.And i only have 24 badges.

[ShonenHero]

I wanna play the new pokemon game but nooo i just have to be a jerk and sold my freaking ds

Fury, nooooo!! What about your Pokemon?!

I should play a bit with Zappy, my Blaziken, in his honor

[badfury]

Lol the reason i sold it becasue i lost like all of my pokemon game beside my last too, then someone took my emerald without asking then start a new game then SAVE it so i have to start all over but since i was too lazy to do it, i gave my emerald away then i got pokemon pearl and was happy playing until it stop working so by then i dont have any pokemon game left to play so i sold my ds for 160 bucks.

Selling a DS because you have no Pokemon games to play anymore sounds extremely loyal, haha~

Too bad, I wanted to show you the power of my bugs!

[badfury]

Oh noo the power of bugs! What can i do????? Oh wait! I can burn them with my fire pokemon! Jk, bug pokemon rock!

[Dragonfly77]

Let's see...counting all the pokemon games I've played, I have a total of...

O.o....64 badges....

I'm such a pokemon nut >.< And proud of it!!

[T3h_SyN]

Oh noo the power of bugs! What can i do????? Oh wait! I can burn them with my fire pokemon! Jk, bug pokemon rock!

This is Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, which fire pokemon? You get five to chose from, two if you didn't start with Chimchar, until you beat the game >_<

May the gods bless your fire pokemon options if you don't own a Ruby/Sapphire/Fire Red/Leaf Green of your own.

I need to start mine over, for kicks :3

Let's see...counting all the pokemon games I've played, I have a total of...

O.o....64 badges....

I'm such a pokemon nut >.< And proud of it!!

Hehe, I have 88 :3 and then there's the 8 medals from the GBC TCG game ;3

[badfury]

Wait Wait, i thought there was only 36 badges.

[T3h_SyN]

We're counting repeats. my original number was the different individual badges you can get in the games.

I have 8 from Red, Blue and yellow (24), 16 from gold and silver (32), 8 from ruby and sapphire (16), and 8 from fire red and pearl (16).

24+32+16+16 = 64+ 24 = 88

[badfury]

Hm well overall for me i have about 40 - badge. Cant remember them all.

[Dragonfly77]

I wanna challenge Neo....

[GM_Nekopon]

His bugs hurt.
I'm reforming my team.

[T3h_SyN]

LAWL!

Did someone underestimate bug pokemon?
Pro-tip: Kill it with fire! (or flying-type pokemon, which may be easier to get depending on the generation *glares at Diamond/Pearl*)

[Dragonfly77]

Or get a wicked Rapidash <3

[T3h_SyN]

Or get a wicked Rapidash <3

Tch... I remember getting to the ice gym and was like "I needs a fire pokemanz!1! Pokedexz0r tells me where the are so I may get a pwnage one kkpl0x?"

*fast forward one search later*
--Search Completed--

And guys, you`re talking about badges as if they mattered, haha~!

His bugs hurt.
I'm reforming my team.

Awww, poor Neko couldn`t resist Ranma`s Bug Buzz <3

I`m still waiting for that rematch!

[GM_Nekopon]

I didn't underestimate. I didn't know he had all bugs (Or I forgot anyway).

[allan-armageddon]

[ShonenHero]

Hey, to discuss Pokemon in here you have to read Apoliner first!

[badfury]

Woot, My friend just lend me his DS and platinum! And i just kidding about the bug pokemon thing, they are awsome!

[T3h_SyN]

Woot, My friend just lend me his DS and platinum! And i just kidding about the bug pokemon thing, they are awsome!

Too bad they're not your own.

I just restarted my pokemon, so I'll need about 12 hours game time to be back to where I was before.

[badfury]

Lol anyway i bet everyone already knew this but did you know that you can get a Gible right after you beat the 2nd gym.

[Dragonfly77]

You got it! Send me your friend code, and we`ll arrange a showdown!


*grins* Finally, a true challenger!!

Once, I get bored enough to go through Victory Road...ugh, I always hated caves >.>

And I would still have to transfer my teams to platinum...>.< Is it true you can only use pal park once a day??

[Lukasz_Lucky]

Wow, you all got Pokemon? That's great as I do aswell. I would like to challenge everyone once I am ready...especially Neko and Neo :P

[Dragonfly77]

Anyone know any way to get a Nincada to learn earthquake?!?! I did research over and over with breeding, but I can't find anything >.<

*thinks of the epicness of a ninjask/shijinda combo.*

[badfury]

[ShonenHero]

Too bad they're not your own.

Ah, but I love all Pokemon equally!

Once, I get bored enough to go through Victory Road...ugh, I always hated caves >.>

And I would still have to transfer my teams to platinum...>.< Is it true you can only use pal park once a day??

Yes, you can use it once per day. Transfer one species per day, that is

Come on, "true challenger", don`t stall, heh...

Wow, you all got Pokemon? That's great as I do aswell. I would like to challenge everyone once I am ready...especially Neko and Neo :P

Yeah, let`s do it! Here`s my Friend Code: 0087 9237 9779, everyone note it down! And please, share yours

Anyone know any way to get a Nincada to learn earthquake?!?! I did research over and over with breeding, but I can't find anything >.<

Man i love my gabite.

[badfury]

Yea Legendaries are for wimp!

[T3h_SyN]

In retrospect I should've asked someone to hold my eevee collection before I restarted... >_< all that work to have lvl 75 of all the evolutions...

Edit- I miss my Veevee, Flarevee, Elecvee, Aquavee, Darkvee, Lightvee, Icevee and Floravee now

[Lukasz_Lucky]

We play no legendaries allowed.
2105 9433 6938

Great cause I hate playing with legendaires too.

I will add you and Neo after I come back from church :)

EDIT: I am back and ready to fight.

Finally, finally, finally finished up with this one. T_T It's just about as legendary and a testament to an MMO's community as any fan work can get... The mounting tension, the genuine narrative with eternal themes, the community involvement... You really made a great thing with this, Neo. I definitely have notes to take for improving the quality and visibility of my own story on here. ... Which more people should be reading but I'm shy gaaahhh

[ShonenHero]

Ahhh, sorry!! I forgot to check this thread because I`m used to it being left on the lower part of this section, hahaha...

Whoa, that means a lot to me, Captain! Well, I`m the Captain, I`ll just call you Gammer. But yes, it means a lot, thank you very much for your words! And I`m glad someone is still reading this... it`s been a while, haha...

... which brings me to another person who finished the story! Thank you too, Xander, for your comments on the story! And, wow, congratulations for swallowing it all in one day... you`re the first person up to date to accomplish such a feat (That I know of, and I`m talking to you, stealthy readers who don`t post)

Neko got herself a figure of the Apoliner! Now THAT`S awesome right there. Didn`t it come with a mini Captain Neo?

Ahhh, sorry!! I forgot to check this thread because I`m used to it being left on the lower part of this section, hahaha...



Whoa, that means a lot to me, Captain! Well, I`m the Captain, I`ll just call you Gammer. But yes, it means a lot, thank you very much for your words! And I`m glad someone is still reading this... it`s been a while, haha...

... which brings me to another person who finished the story! Thank you too, Xander, for your comments on the story! And, wow, congratulations for swallowing it all in one day... you`re the first person up to date to accomplish such a feat (That I know of, and I`m talking to you, stealthy readers who don`t post)
