Dizaster 9 [PG-13, Ep 21 Coming Soon]

[The Warden]

This is my second attempt at a fiction, my first being a Yu-Gi-Oh based one but I got bored making it, so I began to make this, and through half a year, I have generated over 35000 words, and 20 Eps to show for it. Also, I don't want any prejudice against my story just because it doesn't contain Yu-Gi-Oh, digimon, pokemon and the like, after there, not everything revolves around them.

 

[spoiler=Notes]The author does not take credit for already existing things referenced, and is thus copyrighted to their original owners.

Although this story seems cliche, it indeed is, but I enjoy abusing that factor to create rather interesting situations. There are mild for of horror and other wrongness, so please read at your own discretion. Criticism is welcome but flaming WILL NOT be tolerated.

 

 

[spoiler=Episodes 1-6][spoiler=Ep 1]Ep1: The Average Life of the Average Hero

 

‘I never wanted to be a hero, I just fell into the job, how vexing…tch, where are my manners? My name is Zac Armidayle, funny name, I know. What can I say about myself? Well, I’m about 24 years old, I have short black hair; I’m about 5”9 tall, average weight, not to good looking not to bad, I live in an apartment on the 23rd floor of my building etc etc. This is the story of my adventures with the Dizasters, plus my close team mates. They are: my best friend Lydia Armstrong, my teacher Remi Kengspu, my other friend Adam Marina and my sister Elle Armidayle. Let’s see, Lydia has about shoulder length brown hair, a bit shorter at 5”6, she’s also 23 and still available blah blah blah. Maybe I should start from the beginning……’

 

Zac had come home to his apartment from another day at the deli. It paid well but always left him smelling like meat products. He went to take a shower when he suddenly felt a chill sweep over him, the kind of paranoid ‘someone-is-watching-me chill’, but he shrugged it off and enjoyed a nice hot shower. He went to his bedroom to get his clothes. Upon opening the cupboard, a box fell from the top shelf and whacked him on the head. Groaning, he got up to see what had hit him. It was a large box decorated in Christmas style wrapping and was tapped up. Tearing the tap off, he removed the lid and looked in to reveal a small tin and two large stacks of cards. ‘My yugioh cards’ he whispered as he took off the tins lid to reveal six different decks, all tied up in elastic bands. He pulled one out and shuffled through it until he came to a familiar card. ‘I remember you’ he said. ‘Exxod, Master of the Guard. You really did save me a lot of times back when I played this game, but that is just a fleeting memory’ he said.

 

While Zac was taking the first class tour of lala land, his friend Lydia had come waltzing in through the front door. She immediately made her way to Zac’s room only to see her friend in a towel, holding a deck of cards and was talking to himself. She backed away slowly and went and slammed the front door, shouting ‘Zaccy boy! Are you decent?’ Zac took an express ticket out of lala land and immediately put down the cards. He threw on his usual long sleeved shirt and pants and went to greet Lydia, who, by this time, was channel surfing. ‘Hey Lyds, I didn’t expect you’ he said. ‘And I didn’t expect you to come in without any pants on’ she said, pointing at a small imprint on his pants. ‘Huh?’ he muttered and looked down only to immediately cover up and scuttle back to his room. After a full 30 seconds he recovered his masculinity. ‘As I said before, I didn’t expect you here; I thought you had a class today?’ ‘Nope’ she said happily. ‘My tae kwon doe class had to be put off because several of the juniors had wet themselves and

The instructor/cleaners could not remove the stain or the smell, so it was put off, so I have much of the night free’ she explained. ‘And you thought there would be nothing better then to go see your best friend Zac and coax him into renting out some movies tonight’. ‘Actually, yes Zac, that WAS the plan. Heh, am I getting THAT predictable’ she asked. ‘Yes you are and that is a good plan, since I didn’t have one in any case’. ‘Oh, by the way, when I came in, I didn’t hear you showering so, what were you doing?’ she asked. ‘Oh, I had found my old yugioh cards. Remember how we used to duel a lot when we were younger?’ he asked. ‘Yes I do, I used to trounce you time and again with my vicious Voltanis and my wrathful fairies’. ‘Let’s not get carried away Lyds, my Exxod stopped Voltanis many a time. But in any case, let’s go get those movies.’

 

The rental shop was only a couple blocks from where they lived. Whilst walking Zac felt the same chill from before, he turned around and caught sight of what appeared to be a robe hem, but he dismissed it as his imagination. They got the store and went, with Lydia immediately running to the anime movies whilst Zac wandered over to the comedy section. Lydia raced back to him holding up a movie. ‘Lookie Zac, they finally got in ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ after the first one got stolen, we are SO getting this’ she said and dived back into the shelves. Zac continued to shuffle through movies he’d already seen or got. After browsing he got a couple of movies and went to watch the trailers playing on the above screen TVs littered around the store. He was watching the trailer for another crappy romance when the image began to flicker and change, resulting in the face of a man in mid 30’s with long silver hair. ‘Zac, Zac Armidayle. What would you say if all you had to say was yes to unlock a great and unique destiny, all you need is yes’ it buzzed. Zac considered this and chiefly said ‘No’. The screen faded and Lydia came holding a bunch of movies. They paid for them and left, but Zac still had that man’s face and message stuck in his head…

 

‘That was basically how I first met Remi. Although I answered ‘no’ the first time round, he was very persistent, which you have to admire…usually.’

 

After that first encounter, the man seemed to be appearing everywhere, always with the same question. Zac was in his car to go shopping when the man appeared in the side window. ‘Please?’ he asked. ‘No’ Zac answered and he whined the window down. Later, when he was showering the man appeared in the glass. ‘Please’ was the same question. Zac screamed ‘NO!’ and sprayed the glass with water whilst he covered up. This went on for about a week and Zac’s patience was cracking, until one night, when he trying to enjoy a movie, the man appeared in the TV for the final time. ‘Please?’ he asked. ‘YES FINE! I’LL DO IT!’ he shouted at the screen. The man smiled and said ‘good, I can finally come out now’. And with that, he pulled himself out of the TV and stood 6”3 feet tall. He was wearing a long flowing robe with long sleeves. His hair reached to his shoulders. ‘Prepare yourself Zacaria Armidayle, for the destiny of the Dizaster 9...’

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 2]Ep2: Dizaster 1-Fire Fox

 

Zac was completely stunned by what this man had said, but cringed when he heard his full name. ‘The…..Dizaster, 9?’ he asked uncertainly. ‘Yes’ the man answered. ‘They are an incredibly powerful elemental force consisting of: Fire, Ice, Light, Dark, Water, Lightning, Wind and Earth’. Zac took this in when he realized something. ‘Wait, that’s only eight, what about the ninth one?’ The man was not surprised at this question. ‘Not much is actually known about the ninth Dizaster, only that it is there.’ This man’s sudden appearance had troubled Zac, but hearing about the disasters seemed to calm him. ‘But why me? What makes me different to other people?’ he asked. The man sat down on the couch and motioned Zac to sit. ‘You, are descended from the original user and master of the Dizasters. I was naught but an apprentice to him. I was there so long ago when he had lost to the Supreme King. That foul creature was losing when he did a cowardly thing and held my master’s love hostage, he was then struck down. With the last of his power, he scattered all but one of the dizasters to all points of existence. He left me the first dizaster to give to his descendent in hopes of having he or she locate the disasters, master them and defeat the Supreme King. You, Zacaria Armidayle, are descended from that original knight, Kaze Armidayle.’ Zac was absorbing tremendous information and wanted more. ‘Who, or what is the Supreme King?’ he asked. The man’s face turned grim at this question. ‘He is a powerful daemon king of a nega universe. He uses deceit, trickery and betrayal to get what he wants. And all he wants is one thing, and that is power. He already knows that you are the descendent, he will do all he can to claim the dizasters, obviously we must not let him, if he gets all of them, it’s all over. So we must work quickly to reclaim the dizasters and defeat him.’ Another truckload of info fell onto Zac, but something clicked. ‘Well, that’s all well and good, not to mention cliché, but…who are you?’ The man paused for a minute and said ‘My name is Remi Kengspu. Once apprentice to Kaze Armidayle, knight of dizaster; now teacher to Zacaria Armidayle.’ ‘So, Remi, what exactly IS the first dizaster?’ he asked. He simply smiled pulled a small rectangular case from within his sleeve, it had a band of symbols running around the center. ‘Within this case lies the first dizaster, if you truly are the heir, the seal will dispel and you will claim the dizaster, if not…I’ll not mention’ he instructed. Zac reached out a quivering hand to the case, where there was a bright flash and a click. The seal was gone. Zac took the case from Remi and opened it, inside was plush padding and a card. It was about 4 inches high and 3 inches wide. It had a flaming red border and in the center was a picture of a fox curled into the ouroboros shape, its tail was flaming. The back of the card was a deep brown colour. Underneath was a small white oval, with the Roman numeral ‘I’ in it. Zac admired the craftsmanship of the image. ‘Ummmm, how DO I use it?’ he asked. Remi simply stated ‘raise it and call it by it’s name, you should be able to guess it’. Zac shrugged and shouted ‘DIZASTER 1-FIRE FOX!’

 

*Cue Anime Transformation*

 

Zac stood in darkness, card held high until it exploded into flames, covering his torso. As each bit of fire covered him, each part of clothing touched transformed into tan leather armour. Each hand became long claws with glowing magma veins at the wrists. His feet also became clawed. His hair became longer and also turned orange, ending in a white tip. To finish it off, a cap shaped like a foxes head fell and landed on his head, the eyes glew red. He does some flaming punches and kicks, ending with a battle pose in front of a flaming ‘I’.

 

*End Cue*

 

Zac stood, amazed at his new outfit. ‘This…this is incredible, I feel stronger then ever’ he states, but then notices his arms and legs. ‘But, why am I so, so….lanky?’ he asked. ‘Well, the original creator of the dizasters wanted the form to be much like the animal it is based on. The fox generally means speed and fluid movement, which is what you have. Now, let’s go test your control over it.’ With that, they both jump out onto the balcony.

 

Zac had been leaping freely from building to building whilst Remi flew, looking for trouble and danger. ‘Remi?’ Zac asked. ‘Do any of the dizasters have wings? I’m sure the wing one will, any others?’ ‘I’m not sure, probably 2 more, but that isn’t important right now, we’re looking for crime so kee- Nevermind, I found something, a mugging in an alleyway about 2 blocks from here, come on.’ They continue until they land near the alley, peering in, they spot a group of 10 thugs harassing a girl, they’re all ringed around her. ‘Okay Zac, this is your chance, I’ll be watching, show them what you’re made of.’ Remi climbs up to a nearby roof. ‘Only 20 bucks girly, what a rip, well boys, I guess we can have our way with her instead’ the boss said. Zac walks in and boldly says ‘are you SURE you wanna do that?’. The group turns to Zac with anger/confusion. ‘What do you want? You leather wearin’ furry’ the boss said. Zac was a little insulted by that remark, he had nothing against furries, he liked what they did but wasn’t one of them. ‘You really shouldn’t be doing this. I mean mugging is bad, but rape? That is wrong and very cliché on SOOO many levels’. One of the group members breaks away and rushes at Zac with an iron bar. ‘How DARE you talk to boss ‘Arry like that, I’m gonna break you’ he shouts but gets caught short as Zac rushed in and swings a kick at the guys gut, and then rakes the guys face with his claws, leaving 4 deep wounds, they bled slowly. The group rush in around Zac. ‘You’re gonna pay for hurtin one of MY boys furry, now we’re gonna break you’ the boss growled. They all rush in but Zac was quicker. He pounced the nearest thug, crashing them all into the human domino effect. Zac chuckled at this. ‘Ohh’ he moaned. ‘I thought you guys were serious, guess I was wrong’ he mocked. One of the thugs got up and got an iron bar, which he swung blindly at Zac, who caught it in his claws. They struggled with the bar, trying to ram each other, when Zac suddenly realized ‘Oh crap, Remi didn’t tell me how to use my powers, guess I’ll have to wing it’. ‘Flaming Hands’ Zac shouted, which resulted in the latter. The bar heated up quickly and they guy let go, which gave Zac the chance to whack the guy with it, launching the assailant into the wall, he then flopped onto the ground. The rest of the group had gotten up, all of them noticed the flaming hands and bar. They all ran for mercy, except the leader who was fuming. ‘HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME AND MY BOYS!’ he screamed, lunging into combat with Zac.

 

On a nearby roof top is a mysterious man in a tuxedo. It is elegantly pressed with a corsage and a hanky in the pocket. He is wearing a large cape and an elegant ballroom mask covering the top half of his face. A top hat rests on the top of his head, which is of cropped brown hair. He is closely watching the battle between Zac and what he calls ‘the garden variety thug’. ‘So, the boy is still an amateur, but amateurs can still be dangerous, the king himself has learned that’ he thought, pulling from his pocket and extendable blow pipe and a dart filled with a dark purple liquid thickly glopping about. He jumps to the roof top closest to them, taking aim with his blow pipe…

 

Zac was still fighting with the thug boss. He is enjoying it as the guys attack are slow yet powerful. He gets clipped twice when they both hear a billowing sound, they look up to see a tuxedoed man aim a blow pipe at them. He inhales and immediately shots a purple dart at the thug. Zac jumps away as the man is struck. Zac backs away as he notices the liquid drain into the guy’s arm, which is slowly turning purple. Zac was horrified at what happened next. The thug began to scream as the veins in his arms slowly expand. The thug’s body was growing quickly as was his muscles all over his body. They looked like thickening logs and made Zac feel very small/self-conscious. The left arm slowly split out and turn into flailing tentacles. The clothes slowly began to tear, leaving him almost nude, except for a small rag covering the crotch. A huge roid gut extended out from behind the abs, which were up to being an eight pack. The look was completed with horns popping out at his temples and tusks jutting out from the bottom jaw. Zac was very close to being violently sick and he dove behind a dumpster.

 

Remi was nearby window shopping when he heard the screaming. ‘What in the? I hope that’s not Zac’ he thought as he ran to the alleyway. When he got there, he saw the thug expanding out as well and then he ran to the nearby dumpster to be violently ill. He dove behind it as Zac did. ‘Zac’ Remi whispered. ‘What the hell happened?’ ‘Well, I was fighting this guy and easily beating him when I heard a strange noise. I look up to see a guy in a tuxedo lob a dart at the guy I’m fighting. What is behind us is the result’ Zac whispered, pointing at the horror, who was flexing. ‘Crap, I didn’t expect the King to be so desperate as to use daemon steroids on a human, now listen, that man was a high alchemist for the Supreme King, I’ll go deal with him. Now, before I forget, you don’t have a set power pool, you use whatever comes to mind, as long as you use a word close to or involving fire. Also, to summon your weapon, call it by what you want to call it, holding out your hand. It’s a blade if I remember correctly, good luck’ he said hastily, flying onto the roof top. Zac heard about half of what Remi has said, but definitely heard the bit about the powers and sword. With courage, he gets out from behind the dumpster and looks up, to see Remi looked in aerial combat with the alchemist, he turns to see the daemon was still admiring its new form. ‘Vain bastard’ he muttered. Zac holds his hand out and shouts ‘COME FORTH, THE ARDENT BLADE!’ a bright shining reveals into his hand a medium length sword. It has a red and yellow flame pattern on the hilt and a deep orange blade. There are rubies set into the hilt and shining red runes in the blade. The creature noticed the flash and lumbered towards Zac, obviously impeded by its new form. Zac simply mutters ‘let’s dance’ and rushes into combat. The creature rushes in with its tentacles, which were parried by Zac, who began slashing them one by one before the creature reacted. It roared loudly as the stumps slowly bled, but they melted and molded into another claw. They exchange constant blows, mainly from Zac, who kept trying out new powers such as ‘Fireball, Bunsen Kick, Flaming Eye-Poppers’ until it finally catches him off guard and knocks Zac into a wall. It laughs roughly as it opens it’s mouth and begins to charge energy in its mouth. Zac groans and gets up to be greeted with this sight. ‘I.Will. Not.Be. Killed. By some cliché daemon ray!’ he shouts, launching into the air, he kicks off from the wall and in slow motion he points two fingers at the creature and screams ‘BEHOLD! THE IMMOLATOR! BURNING GLORY!’, putting all the energy he could into. He is overwhelmed with burning energy coating him in a sphere of fire, it slowly condenses to the two fingers. ‘HYAAAA!’ he shouts, loosing a jet of deep-blue fire at the creature’s mouth. It begins to eat the fire whilst still charging, the roid gut slowly begins to expand until the creature stops. Zac lands and does a victory pose as the monster collapses behind him and explodes.

 

Whilst this had been happening, Remi had found and challenged the alchemist to aerial combat. They exchanged constant blows, although Remi was the better with his saber verses the man’s staff. They both hear shouting and turn to see Zac finishing the monster off. The man gasped as his creation slowly exploded and noticing that many news people were convening on the alley. He quickly flies away and vanishes. Remi lands near Zac. ‘Congrats kid, you defeated your very first patchwork daemon’ he congratulates but notices Zac had wandered over near a trash can where the girl he had saved had fainted. He turns to see bright lights at the mouth of the alley, where press people ran in. Zac immediately leaped away onto a nearby roof top. He latter met up with Remi as they made their way back to his apartments balcony. They exchanged congratulatory remarks as Zac turned the light on in his living room to reveal Lydia sitting on the recliner, glaring at them. ‘Oh sheet’ Zac muttered.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 3]Ep3: Martial Artist, Best Friend, Sidekick?

 

Zac and Remi were frozen as Lydia’s gaze bore into them. ‘Ly-Lydia, I didn’t think you would be here’ he managed to mumble. ‘Oh, you know me Zac, I just came round to get you so we could finally try out that roller-rink, because you SOOOO wanted to go, I spent half an hour getting ready, but it seems you have better things to do then hang with your friend, like crime fighting’ she said sarcastically. She points the remote at the T.V. to show a news broadcast.

 

The scene was at the alleyway Zac had fought in previously. ‘What we have witnessed here may in fact be an invasion of some kind, for earlier today, an eyewitness alerted authorities of a fight breaking out in an alley, when they arrived they had found a local gang fighting against what this reporter can describe as a ‘pyromaniacal anthro fox’. The police noted that the fox was winning so he slowly watched the fight, the eyewitness at this time had alerted the media to come, but the battle had already finished, we had caught a glimpse of this enigmatic creature but it escaped before it could be captured. Could this be the rise of a new super hero? The newly named ‘Fire Fox’ is perhaps the start of a new crack super outfit. Note the police have prepared a reward for anyone with knowledge of this creature’…

 

Zac had watched the entire report and could not believe it. ‘Lydia, I….I can explain; he whimpered. Lydia got up and looked at Zac straight in the eye. ‘Zac, tonight, I have witnessed strange and mystical things, bizarre and horrible things…..and I want in’ she stated. Zac and Remi were both caught off guard by this. ‘You……you want to join us?’ Remi asked. ‘Yes beardie-weirdie’ she answered. Remi frowned and said ‘I don’t HAVE a beard, but, I sense a dormant magical power within you, with the right training, you could release it’. Lydia wasn’t surprised at this response, ‘that reminds me, I have this old book in my apartment that’s completely blank, perhaps you could look at it’ she said, leaving the room, but turned to Zac. ‘Shouldn’t you get out of that?’ she asked, pointing to Zac’s ‘costume’. ‘Oh right’ he said and turned to Remi, ‘how do I get out of this outfit Rems?’ he asked. ‘Just say ‘dizaster out’ and it will reform into a card’. Zac shrugged and muttered ‘dizaster out’. Flame engulf his outfit, turning it back into his normal clothes, the fire moves to his hand and becomes the card, which Zac put into his pocket. ‘Let’s go then’.

 

Zac and Remi follow Lydia to her apartment, which was incidentally opposite Zac’s. They went in and followed her to the book shelf, where she began taking down books from it to slowly reveal the wall behind. She pressed a part of the wall and it popped open with a click. ‘Jeez Lyds, could you get anymore cliché? I mean come on! A hidden wall?’ Zac said, only to be greeted by ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ hardback edition. Zac collapsed with a large lump on his head. Remi looked inside to see a laser mesh as well. ‘The kid’s right, that is REALLY cliché’ he stated, only to be also greeted by ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ hardback edition. He collapsed along side Zac. Lydia kicked them both after getting the contents of the safe out, a large tome. They get up and try to compose themselves as best as possible. ‘This is what I was protecting’ she said, handing it to Remi. He flicked through the pages, which were completely blank. ‘Fascinating, the reason these pages are blank is because of a magic lock, one that can be unlock by the magical touch of whomever put it on, OR, their descendent’. ‘This book belonged to my great grandmother, people thought she was a witch’ Lydia said, a little sadly. Remi smiled and turned to Zac. ‘Believe it or not young disaster, but your girlfriend here might be a descendent of the last sorceresses, powerful female magicians’ Remi said, not aware of Lydia scowling at him. ‘So, I am a sorceress? How do I activate my powers?’ she asked. ‘It will take some special lessons, which won’t take long. Zac, leave us please; this’ll require no distractions’ Remi stated. Zac left and went to his apartment.

 

Zac had been watching the movie he had been watching before Remi had interfered. He looked at the clock to see that they had been training for almost 2 hours. ‘It’s almost mitternacht, I mean midnight. Where ARE they?’ Lydia and Remi had re-entered the room after this question was asked, she was smiling proudly. ‘I DID IT ZACCY BOY, I DID IT!’ she shouted, almost dancing. ‘Watch’ she said and she conjured a small ball of fire in her hand. ‘Wow, about 2 hrs of training and you can light a match, bravo Lyds’ he said sarcastically. ‘Also Rems’ Lydia said, ‘I want a cool outfit like Zac’s, so you have something to magically change my costume?’ Remi was almost awestruck by this. ‘You have a mountain of clothes in your apartment, you could MAKE a costume, but, if you insist’ he said and pulled out a spell tag, it had large ink marks on it. ‘Do you have anything a little more now?’ Remi scowled and it morphed into a card, like the Dizaster. ‘HERE’ he shouts and gives it to her, she is ecstatic. ‘I’m guessing I say form-change right?’ ‘YES!’ ‘Alright, don’t be a grumpy pumpy’ she said, saying the magic words.

 

*Cue Transformation*

 

Lydia is standing in darkness with the card in hand, which morphs into a staff. She starts twirling it around herself, causing her clothes to glow brightly. She blows a small kiss as they form into priestess like robes. It has a large flame pattern on it. She jumps up and lands, causing flames to spill around her. She twirls the staff one more time and bangs the bottom part on the ground, causing large fissure of flame to erupt, revealing a large L behind her.

 

*End Cue*

 

Lydia looked ecstatic with her new outfit. ‘This…..This I’ll be wearing for Halloween’ she cackled, creeping out both Zac and Remi. Zac re-did his dizaster transformation. They all stood there, three heroes ready to face anything with courage and indispensable luck. Outside, the claxon of sirens right as police cars zoom pass. Zac smiled at his friends and the immediately exit via balcony, ready for anything. ‘And so this begins, The Dizaster9’ Zac Shouts.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 4]The Dizasters

 

The screen is completely black but it then lights up to a cheesy black & white sitcom, complete with bad music. In large font the words ‘The Dizasters’ appears on the screen as the image switches to Zac, who is walking in the door, taking off his hat, underneath the words ‘Zacaria Armitayle as Ken Dizaster’ appears. It then swaps to Lydia, whose hair was in a bun, it reads ‘Lydia Armstrong as Betty Dizaster’. One final swap shows Remi in knee pants, a plain shirt and a little propeller hat, reading ‘Remi Kengspu as Little Timmy’. It has them all smiling as a family photo was taken. ‘It was another glorious day in Knuxvolle, as Ken Dizaster has come home from another day at the office’. Ken walks in and says ‘Honey, I’m home’, accompanied by laugh track. Betty comes from the kitchen and says ‘Already? I just put dinner on’, with more laugh track. Little Timmy walks in through the front door, holding a large trophy. ‘Hey, mom, I just won first prize at the science fair with my swell volcano project’ he said beaming. Betty smiles widely and says ‘What’s a mother to do?’ with more laugh track. The smile then breaks as she then says ‘who writes this crap?’ The director (BH15) walks in. ‘Sorry guys, I grabbed the wrong script by mistake, I’ll go get it, but it’ll take a while’ he said, heading for the exit. They all sit down on recliner chairs. ‘What a wienie’ they all say, putting sunglasses on.

 

One hour Later…

 

BH walks in and confronts the audience. ‘Okay viewers, I got the REAL script this time, please enjoy ‘Episode 4, One Week Later…yeah, I’m gonna go now’.

 

Ep4: One Week Later

 

Zac had come home from the deli a little more happily then normal. He noticed Remi was on the computer as normal. Zac had had the Dizaster for a week now, and the novelty had yet to wear off. No actual xenomorphic activity had been found, so he hadn’t needed to do anything about that, but there were still thefts and gang wars he had to deal with. It had been noted in the news on how many of the people had been ‘completely carbonised to the ground and walls’. During this time however, Zac had learned that Remi had been in a magical hibernation, waiting for the newest Dizaster to emerge. Lydia had also learned to harness the fire spells in her spell book, which she practiced whenever, constantly joking that she was a ‘fire bender’, causing Zac to groan. Zac had noticed that Remi liked going on the website ‘Deviant Art’, he himself has liked it, but grew out of it as work took over his life. ‘Young Dizaster’ Remi said. ‘Yeah?’ ‘I wish to know, what is a fetish?’ Zac was a little embarrassed by this question. ‘Well, a fetish is a way of…pleasuring one’s self using their suppressed desires, this kind of stuff has been around for decades and does make it’s way into the art industry, why do you ask’ he said/asked. Remi felt a little sheepish as he told Zac about some of the pictures on DA he had seen, and his learning of the word fetish. ‘I see, well, some of those artworks were made just for fun, others for sharing their desires with like minded people, show me a couple of the things you have seen’. Remi spent about 10 minutes showing many of the things he had witnessed, Zac thought some were cute, others were okay and one that was JUST PLAIN WRONG!

 

Later, after explaining to Remi that the Google web browser has answers to everything except: the meaning of life, why washing a pair of socks leaves you only with one, and where your TV remote is. Zac told him to start with vorephilia and work up. He had just started making the spaghetti sauce when he heard a horrified gasp. He ran in to see Remi on a wikifur article called ‘C-Snakes’. Zac turned pale as bad memories came back to him after his stint at researching fetishes, Even the highly detailed pics he had seen (I won’t go into details). He raced for the ‘Back button’. Both Zac and Remi had an uneasy time eating as their thoughts had been tainted by what they had seen. Lydia had stopped by for dinner and was happily eating her spaghetti bolognaise, completely unaware of what had happened earlier. Remi was about to have his third serving when a slight jolt went through him, causing him to turn to the duo. ‘I have sensed a magical presence, it’s a bit foggy but it is centred somewhere in the northern district’. ‘Hmm, that is usually where the sciency crap is, and the national museum of archaeology, where ancient finds like fossils and gem stones are’ Zac said. Remi frowned and said ‘we must deal with this, disaster up kids’.

After transforming into ‘Fire Fox & Pyro Girl’ (as dubbed by the public), Zac, Lydia and Remi raced off to the museum.

 

Meanwhile, at the museum itself, a new presence was made known. A cohort of daemons, lead by Mr. Tuxedo (from Ep 1), were searching the museum. ‘Boss, what are we meant to be looking for?’ a minion asked. He turned to it and said ‘YOU, are looking for an artifact that the king told me was here, he said he couldn’t identify it so we’re looking for some kind of power source, like a crystal’. Another minion spoke out, ‘didn’t we pass a display containing crystals a few blocks back?’ Tuxedo frowned and moved down into the previously searched rooms, pacing one display that held an ancient tarot deck, one card was out of place, a light blue card. He looked on and found the room containing masses of real and fake gems. ‘Jackpot’ he muttered and called his men. They broke up most of the glass cases, unafraid of alarms as Tuxedo had disabled the security with magic. He reached into one of the cases and daintily took out one of the crystals whilst pulling out a small eye scope used by gem cutters. He threw the gem away in disgust as he found it was a fake. All the daemons were using the scopes to identify the gems. They gave up after Tuxedo sent out a mental probe. ‘Boss, why don’t we go back and tell him that there was no power in the museum’. Tuxedo turned and laughed, rather creepily. ‘Tell the daemon king he was wrong?!’ he asked ironically, ‘Do you have any idea what would happen if you told him that?! We would all be turned into something only slightly resembling a lump of coal, no, we have to do something drastic’ he raved.

 

Zac & co. were outside the museum and got in without a hitch. ‘The intruders must have disabled the security’ Zac said as they patrolled the museum, looking for the intruders. Zac passed the same tarot display when a small jolt jumped through him; he dismissed this as one of those mental shocks when he heard the sound of smashing. Calling Remi and Lyds over, they all looked into the gem display to see tuxedo and the daemons tearing the place apart, then T started yelling at them. They strut in and confront them. ‘Hey, tall dark and creepy, that’s private property there bub’ Zac said, being macho. ‘Lydia palmed her face, muttering ‘Zac, you are such a wienie it is unbelievable’. Mr. Tuxedo and the daemons turned to them. ‘This is private business kid, why don’t you go start a bush fire with your matches’ a daemon said. Zacs response was to turn him INTO something resembling a lump of coal. This act resulted in full scale battle mode as Lydia and Remi took on the daemons, whilst Zac took on Mr. T.

 

Outside, a pair of cops were patrolling the area when a large column of flame erupted from the museum, they looked at each other. ‘Do you think we should deal with that’ one said. The other cop turned and said ‘Deal with what Nobby?’ Nobby looked at his partner and then at the building. ‘You’re right Fred, there isn’t anything going on’ he said. They then continue to patrol, meanwhile, in a nearby alley, a dark figure was watching what possible commotion could be seen from the outside, it chuckled and vanished.

 

Whilst this had been happening, a lot of museum property had been broken. Zac himself had managed to get some good blows on T; it didn’t even seem as if he was trying. After getting knocked down for the fifth time, he got up and shouted ‘let’s get out of here’ and instantly vanished, along with his daemons. Zac, Lydia and Remi looked at the destruction they caused. ‘Rems, you wouldn’t, by any chance, have a teleport spell do you?’ Zac asked. ‘I do ‘Fire Fox’’ he said, pulling out a small spell tag from his sleeve. They all grab onto it and vanish, returning to Zacs apartment. They changed back to their normal outfits when Lydia asked ‘okay, who wants ice-cream?’ Both Zac and Remi said yes, and there was much rejoicing.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 5]Ep5: I Lycan You

 

Zac, Lydia and Remi were all camped on the couch watching an old werewolf movie. ‘Tch, I know special effects were still bad back then, but even for this era they suck’ Lydia moaned. ‘Why are you whining? You wanted to watch it in the first place’ Zac struck. Lydia humphed and grabbed the bowl of pop-corn on the table. ‘You know, I think it would be fun to be a werewolf’ Zac said. They both turned to him. ‘You think it would be fun to be a big slobbering mindless killing machine Zac?’ she asked. ‘Well, besides the maiming and mindlessness, yes’. ‘You creep me out sometimes young dizaster’ Remi muttered, grabbing a handful of pop-corn.

 

Meanwhile, in a dark alley across town, a small portal appears and a large furry paw reaches out, dragging a large furry body with it, cloaked in darkness. It howls and runs off into the misty night…

 

The group is still watching the movie when the computer activates and begins a consistent beeping noise. They stop the movie and check it out. ‘What the hell is it doing’ Lydia shouted. ‘A couple of days ago, I got tired of being the receptor for incoming magical signals, so I magically downloaded a file into the computer to detect for me’ Remi explained. ‘Cool, like in Batman’ Zac said. Remi began punching keys into the comp when a list of details appeared. ‘Hokay, this is the sitch, the magical problem is coming from down town area, the scent is too weak to be able to properly identify the creature, but lets suit up and deal wit this’. ‘Okay, let’s do this. Dizaster 1-Fire Fox’ Zac shouts. ‘Form-Change to Sorceress’ Lydia shouts.

 

*Cue Transformation*

 

Zac and Lydia are standing together holding their cards which simultaneously burst into flame. The view changes to circle around them as they suit up. They end with doing mirror like punching moves and do a twin victory signal, causing flames to reveal a large ‘I & L’ to appear.

 

*End Cue*

 

‘Why didn’t you do that last episode?’ Remi asked. Z&L shrug. ‘So….lets go’ Lydia said. They all spring into action. They had just gotten to the down town area when the creature’s howling filled the air. This brings a shiver up Remi’s spine. ‘What is it boy? Is Timmy O’Toole stuck in a well’ Zac asked. ‘No’. ‘Is there a cat up a tree?’ ‘NO’. ‘For gods sake Zac it’s a wolf, and by that howling, I guess I can assume, well, its silly, but I think it’s a werewolf. ‘But you said earlier..’ Zac said, but Lydia cuts him off with ‘I KNOW WHAT I SAID! Listen to what I am saying now. Okay Rems, this nega universe that Supreme King rules, does it have Lycanthropes?’ Lydia asked. ‘Yes, but they’re called Razor Fangs. They’re the same thing though. In any case, we must be deeply careful with this, as like in human lore, a bite from a werewolf will cause you to be cursed as well, not even in the nega sciences have they found a way to cure it. These Razor Fangs however, are very vulnerable to fire, good thing right’ Remi monologued, only to realize that Zac and Lydia had already left. ‘Bloody kids’ he muttered, running down the street. The place was deserted due to the police lining the streets, this made it harder for the group to move about, but they heard useful bits of info about the creature. The critical piece was finding out tat it was stationed at the docks nearby. They race towards it immediately.

 

They move as silently through the shadowed docks as possible, keeping an ear out for the beast. They move out into the open area when the pale moonlight broke through the clouds, lighting up the area. The howling noise is heard again, much closer. All 3 of them look around wildly for the beast, but find nothing. Then, a deep growling noise is heard as the beast jumps from a stack of crates trying to land on them, but they move away just in time. They all turn to confront this beast. It has an ash grey coat colour, it stands on two muscle bound legs as it top half raises rhythmically to its breathing. Its mouth was drooling. ‘That thing is more buff then most pro-wrestling stars’ Zac said in shock. Once the shock wore off, Zac immediately began his assault on the creature, trying to make up for its speed and brute strength with his fiery powers. It tried to lunge in for the kill but Zac knocked it away with the Ardent Blade. Tired of its play mate, the thing begins to charge full pelt at Lydia. She tries to guard but is frozen in place by fear. She covers her face with her arms as she waits for the pain…

 

Nothing. Lydia slowly moves her sleeves away from her face to reveal Zac in front of her, the beasts fangs lodged deep into his left arm. Slowly, he puts two fingers on his right hand to its face. ‘Behold, the immolator, burning glory’ he quietly said. The energy begins to charge around him as it condenses to his fingers, a quick burst of flame shows that the shot went right through its head, it then collapses onto the ground. Zac looks unconcerned at the blood dripping out of his arm, he plucks the left over fangs from his arm as he turns to Lydia. ‘Are you alright’ he asks. She was too shocked to answer, not only did he save her, but he got bitten and doesn’t seem to care. ‘Zac, you should lie down. There are pain killers in a Razor Fangs saliva, in an hour you will feel immense pain’. He gets out his teleport seal and holds onto to Zac and Lydia, they all teleport away.

 

Back at the apartment, Zac Dizasters Out to assess the damage. ‘So, will I become a Razor Fang at every full moon?’ ‘No’ Remi said. Zac raised his eyebrow, ‘Why not’. ‘Because, because you weren’t the one corrupted, the Dizaster was’. ‘What?!’ ‘Indeed, to save its host, the dizaster will accept all toxins and other poisons instead of its host, but it’ll take so time to extinguish it, so you cannot use Fire Fox for a while’ he stated. Zac was shocked by this, causing a raise in blood pressure and his wounds began to bleed again. Lydia was a bit dismayed at this as well. ‘So we can’t fight crime and magical creatures?’ she asked. ‘No, until the Dizaster is pure, Zac cannot use his powers unless he finds a new dizaster, using this one will cause problems’ he said.

 

For the next two days, Zac had gone about his life normally. Work, Getting home and hanging out, Zac and Lydia felt unfulfilled because of this. During a walk around town, Zac, Lydia and Remi hear a disturbance in a nearby alley, they go to investigate to see a gang harassing a young lady. Zac, without thinking, runs into the alley and shouts ‘Dizaster 1-Fire Fox’. ‘ZAC! NOOOOOOOO!’ Lydia shouts, but it was too late.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 6]Ep6: A Dog’s Life

 

Hokay, so if you didn’t see the last ep PAY ATTENTION! Alright, so last ep, Zac talked how great it would be to be a lycan, and surprise surprise, one appears in their world from the nega world, where they are called Razor Fangs. They manage to track it the docks for a showdown. The beast managed to infect Zac with lycanthropy, then after Zac terminated the beast. He found out that Fire Fox took the blow for him, but at the cost of not being to use it. We come to where we left off, having Zac using Fire Fox and Lydia dramatically shouting ‘NOOOOOOOO!’

 

Zac didn’t realize what was happening, but he felt compulsed to use Fire Fox, he didn’t hear Lydia shouting no until too late.

 

*Cue Transformation*

 

Zac is standing up straight, holding the card in two fingers. He drops it and it glides to the floor, smothering Zac in flames as it lands. He moves his hands through the flames and they transform into long claws with white fur around the wrists. His feet move through and they become claws, furred white. His torso moves through as well, turning orange and stronger, with white fur on the chest. He roars as his head moves through, morphing into a fox/wolf hybrid. He runs around and ends with a howl.

 

*End Cue*

 

Remi is horrified and grabs Lyds, moving out of the alley. Large burst of lights extend from the alley. Lydia herself is almost in tears. ‘We have to get Zac’ she sobs. ‘No’ Remi said, restraining her. ‘He is now a Razor Fang/Fox hybrid; he also possesses the power of fire. We must wait until the fires burn down and be careful’ he warned. Once the lights died down, they carefully move into the alley to see several fires still burning and Zac chomping happily on some char grilled bones. He noticed Lydia and Remi and charges at them. From a combination of fear and grief, Lydia quickly pulled a fan from her robe sleeve and whacked him on the head. Zac whimpered and rubbed his head. Lydia smiled. ‘He’s as tame as ever. This’ll call for a teleport Rems’ she said, grabbing Zac and Remi.

 

Lydia had kept her new ‘pet’ at her apartment for three days. She got home and shut her door behind him to see Zac bowling down the hall. She quickly jumped out of the way and head bashed against the door. He groaned and Lydia petted Zac, inciting some tail-wagging. Remi, hearing the bang, left Zacs apartment. He enters her apartment to see her putting some groceries away. She was idly watching Zac chase his tail around. ‘Remi, as much as I like having a new pet after the unfortunate accident of my previous pet, Mr. Fuzzy’. Lydia at this point wiped away a tear, muttering ‘why did you jump into that thresher?’ She composed herself, continuing on, ‘In any case, we really must deal with this’. Zac wasn’t watching any of this but he began to lightly claw at the door. ‘After walkies of course’ she added, grabbing Zacs leash.

 

There is a large park near their apartment building. It was voted one of the national best and cleanest parks in ‘The National Best and Cleanest Parks Magazine in Association with Reckless Plumbing and Other Unfortunate Disasters’. It has a large lake at the southern point of the park whilst a there is a lookout at the northern point. The place is quite large (obviously) and riddled with benches, gazebos, lights, etc. Lydia and Remi were at the lookout throwing a small red squeak ball into the park for Zac to chase. Zac brought the ball back for the 56th time when Lydia spoke up. ‘So, how can we deal with this, can we make Zac human again?’ she said, throwing the ball again. ‘It’s hard to say, basically, all he has to do is say ‘dizaster out’ and he should revert, but this will be difficult as his intelligence is even lower then even an average dog’. Lydia got Zacs leash and clipped it onto his collar. ‘Well then, I guess it’s time to teach this old dog a new trick’.

 

It was night time and Lydia was on the couch watching an old movie. Zac was happily chewing on a steak he char-broiled himself. He stopped and padded over to the couch; he got up and rested his head on Lydia’s lap. She began to stroke his head, gently muttering ‘we’ll figure this out……even if we have to beat it into you’. Zac looked at her as if he understood.

 

Remi had spent the night creating some flash cards for this situation. He brought them over in the morning and discussed his plan with Lydia; afterwards, she gave him a funny look. ‘Look, it should work’ he said to her questioning glance. Zac was watching them intently during their whole discussion with his (now) amber eyes. They reached an agreement and Lydia decided to try first. ‘Come on boy, say it, say dizaster out’ she said, pointing the card at Zac. She kept trying and slowly began to get frustrated as anyone would. ‘SAY THE GOD-DAMNED WORD!’ she shouted. She then proceeded to try and beat Zac when a ninja attacked, then a Nazi came, then an evil pots’an’pans robot, then a dinosaur got into the picture, then-wait, this was today’s ep of family guy, oops. Anywho, she began to start attacking a pillow, which is what no normal frustrated person would do. Remi decided to try after he put Lydia into a trance to calm her down. Eventually he got as frustrated as well, ending up with him putting himself into a calm-down trance as well, with Zac not even noticing, he then proceeded to lie down and nap.

 

It was late at night and Remi had given up on the case for today (after snapping himself out of the trance) and retired to play video games. Lydia was preparing Zacs dinner when crashing came from her bathroom. She instinctively turned the lights of and hid, grabbing Zac as well. A masked man came into the loungeroom with a large bag. ‘Another bastard thief’ she muttered and started to come out of her crawl space. She then realized that she couldn’t transform here when the man turned on the light and pointed his gun at her. She put her hands up and got up, sighing. He muttered something and pointed the gun to the book shelf. She moved over there and then shouted ‘SAY IT ZAC!’ This desperate cry manage to pierce his skull, he slowly muttered ‘dizaster out…’

 

BH15 was sitting at his computer when he suddenly grabbed his head and screamed ‘WHAT THE GLORIOUS F**K DID I TYPE!?’

 

 

[Soul Legacy]

Wheres the episodes?

[The Warden]

The problem has been corrrected, the double post caused the word limit to be exceeded.

 

[spoiler=Episodes 7-13][spoiler=Ep 7]Ep7: To Infinity, And BattleOn!

 

Yeppers, time for another revamp, listen well. So, in Ep 5, Zac got infected with lycanthropy but Fire Fox took the infection instead. By the end of it, Zac turned into a were-fox which was further explored in Ep 6, by the end of that one, Were-Zac had finally gotten the words ‘Dizaster Out’ into his dog-like brain, causing him to utter those words. We last left off in Lydia’s apartment and she was at gunpoint, let’s see what happens next…

 

Zac heard the words, and slowly he half said/half barked ‘Dizaster Out’. Flames surrounded him as he slowly morphed back into his usual self; he was even wearing the clothes he was wearing before. The burglar was awestruck at this, ‘How? You…’ he couldn’t find the words. He didn’t need to, as Remi snuck up on him and uttered a small spell, which caused the burglar to fall unconscious, he was deposited outside. ‘You did it Zac’ Lydia said proudly. ‘Yeah, but I’ll miss all the doggie action, it was fun being the pet for once, you know, chasing the tail, running after balls, watching you undress’ he said, scratching his ear. ‘What was that last one?’ ‘Running after balls?’ ‘Now dizaster, we need to figure out how to cure Fire Fox, so this incident is NOT repeated’ Remi stated, absently scratching Zacs’ ear. ‘Hey! Hey!’ Zac said, slapping his hand away. ‘In any case, Remi, Lydia, whilst I was the were-fox, I was trying to think of ways to solve this problem, then an idea hit me, so I believe I know where to go to cure this problem’ Zac said. ‘Where?’ ‘You’ll see’ Zac said, smiling.

 

*A couple of minutes later*

 

‘Okay, Remi. Remember when I first officially met you?’ Zac asked ‘Yes, I came out of your TV’ Remi replied. ‘Good, so tell me, what is the extent of your powers?’ ‘I can create portals to different places.’ ‘Even the internet?’ ‘I suppose, generally I can exist in the internet, but I could choose to be part of it’. ‘Excellent, so boys and girls, my plan is simple. Remember that internet game I used to tell you about Lyds?’ ‘Yeah, you used to talk endlessly about how great Adventure Quest, I remember, but why do you ask?’ Lydia questioned. ‘My plan is simple; I intend to go into the game of Adventure Quest. The reason is that I remember a quest there that allows you to remove your status as either a Lycan, or a Vampire. Using Remis’ power over portals, I go in, take the form of my character and cure Fire Fox’ Zac said proudly. ‘That’s crazy’ Lydia said, ‘let’s do it’.

 

After preparing for the trip, Zac was making final preparations. ‘Okay Lydia, you never played the game before, so I’ll direct you to how you play the game, read carefully and we’ll do fine.’ ‘Okay okay, let’s just hope this works.’ They log on to the website, they try to log in but the server was full. ‘Dammnit, alright, for quick entry we’ll need to guardianise, where’s my credit card?’ Zac asked, searching all around for it. Once they found it and bought the upgrade, they logged in and got ready for Zacs master plan. ‘Oh wait, before we do this, there’s one thing I wanna do’ he said, grabbing the mouse. He went over to the Valencia icon and clicked ‘Talk to Valencia Privately’. Lydia gave him a funny look as he went and got The Blade of Awe. ‘What? I’ve always wanted to get this thing’ he protested. They then moved on to the dark forest of Darkovia and found ‘the Cure’. ‘Okay Lyds, click it and I’m going in’. They began their quest whilst Remi prepared the portal. ‘Okay young dizaster, it’s ready’ he said, chanting the final words. Zac looked fondly at everyone and then jumped into the portal…

 

Whilst traveling through cyberspace, Zac thought to himself. ‘Will this plan work? Will I be able to get out again? Why don’t they get a better wall paper, this one sucks’. He was flung through a bright light and found himself in a dark forest. ‘It worked’ he said, but it came out as a speech bubble. He looked at what he was wearing. It was black and gold plate armour with a black cape, he was also holding the large Blade of Awe. That was when he noticed a little creature next to him. ‘Oh, Chico’ he said happily. The little creature jumped with fright and turned around. ‘Oh, its you’ it muttered. Zac glared at the little thing and stated ‘let’s go to the cure’. They both walked on until a dark shadow crossed over them. They attacked as 3 Fly Eyes. The scene changed to Battle Mode…

 

Lydia was a having a fun time with this, but she was confused at the battle scene. It had Zac in strange armour, a strange looking creature by his side and a little elf like thing. A little speech bubble appeared by Zac. ‘Okay Lyds, here’s what you do. Move the mouse over the Fly Eye and it should show what weaknesses it has, I know it hates light so go to my weapons inventory and find a weapon called the ‘Aurous Wing’. Click it and my weapon will change to it. For Armours, I’ll stay this way, now then, for shields, change to Paladin. Once you’ve done that-’ The speech bubble ended and a new one appeared, ‘Then go to the option that says attack and I will, these are weak creatures so they won’t last long’. After doing the tedious exercise, Lydia was ready to play when another bubble appeared, ‘Oh, before I forget, go to pets and select the one named Rose, it will attack and then they will, don’t worry, I’ll be fine’. ‘Whatever’ she muttered and did the deed.

 

Zac was enjoying the fight these eyes were piss weak. He one the battle with ease and moved on when the area darkened. ‘Time for round 2’ he muttered. The Battle Scene appeared and he saw he was fighting a dark moglin ghost. He readied his weapon and prepared to tell Lyds what to do…

 

Lydia had also enjoyed doing the battle. ‘I don’t know why I didn’t try this before’ she said, and then noticed a new bubble. ‘Okay Lyds, this enemy is more powerful and different. I believe it hates wind weapons, so you should switch to my Vartai Blade, it should be opposite my Iron Edge weapon. Also, change my armour to Necromancer Cloak; the battle will be easier like that’. She did all this again, getting a little frustrated at Zac and all his bubbles. ‘Also, to do more damage, use the Undead Giant spell, just click attack and it’ll be first on the top right’. She did this, constantly using the spell until the thing was a hit away from death. ‘Sayonara’ she said, killing it.

 

The little moglin by Zac asked ‘who’re you talking to?’ Zac quickly came up with a response, ‘Secret Guardian business.’ ‘Right’ it said as they entered a large cave with amber coloured walls. ‘This is the place, okay, let’s go north first.’ They went north and encountered a Vampire Hunter. ‘DIE FIEND!’ he shouted. ‘Bring it Van Helsing’ Zac retorted, entering Battle Mode…

 

Lydia was vexed at the fight with the hunter; she knew what she was doing now, as Zac has stopped with the speech bubbles. She found he had an energy weakness and swapped to the weapon she thought was energy. ‘Okay Zac, let’s hope the Sackleberry Spear is energy’ she said, using Undead Giant. The battle was won with Zacs side being the winner. She decided to go west and found another hunter. She repeated the last battle and knocked him into next week. She went south and met the final hunter. ‘This is too easy’ she said as the battle ended. A little cut scene began to pay. ‘This must be the cure’ she muttered…

 

Zac looked at the small crevasse that had opened and the green stuff inside. He pulled Fire Fox out of his side pocket and dipped it into the ooze. A bright light exuded from it and Zac knew it was alright. ‘Now the final battle’ he muttered as his little friend fell into the ooze and mutated into the Moglin Fiend, It switched to Battle Mode…

 

Lydia frowned at this last battle, but she saw Zac had full HP and MP again. ‘Sweet, now let’s kill the fiend’. She began to the short battle and completely creamed the monster. ‘Too easy’ she muttered as the quest ended. ‘Okay Rems, get him out of there’. Remi did the portal spell again and the portal appeared on the screen in front of Zac, he walked through and was ejected onto Lydia. The portal closed behind him. ‘Get off fang-face’ she growled, shoving him off. ‘That’s what she said’ Zac retorted, but Lydia just slapped him.

 

They were all sitting around the table, happily discussing their success. ‘You know, this was perhaps the most ludicrous way for me to cure Fire Fox, and it worked’ Zac said happily. ‘Yeah, I once read somewhere that million to one chances crop out 9 out of 10 times, so, it worked almost perfectly, since we can now fight crime again.’ ‘Indeed, but, I want to look at Fire Fox for a minute.’ Zac handed Fire Fox over to Remi who got out a small eye scope and scanned over FF. ‘As I thought, young dizaster, there is something new about Fire Fox.’ ‘Well Rems, what is it?’ Zac asked. ‘It seems to have collected the Razor Fang DNA and has unlocked a beast form for itself, so, you have two different transformations for this dizaster, best thing is, and you’ll have full control of the body, keeping your normal intelligence’ Remi stated. ‘If he had any intelligence’ Lydia muttered. ‘What?’ ‘I said who wants ice-cream?’ ‘Oh, I do’ Zac said. Lydia cracked out a tub of choc mint from the freezer. They dished and talked about who was getting fat.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 8]Ep8: Pecs & the City

 

Zac, Lydia and Remi were in the lounge room playing Scrabble. Remi was amusing himself watching Zac and Lydia argue over the ‘Y’ tile he just played. ‘ZAC! FOR GODS SAKE, THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS CUPBOARDY!’ she screamed at him. ‘AND IF THERE ISN’T? YOU AREN’T A DICTIONARY LYDS, HOW CAN YOU DISPROVE CUPBOARDY, WHICH, BY THE WAY, MEANS CUPBOARD LIKE’ he retorted. Remi was pouring over a dictionary, he got to ‘cupbearer to curbstone’ and didn’t find cupboardy. A devious smile spread across his face as he uttered a silent spell and the words below cupboard moved aside as the entry ‘cuboardy: cupboard like’ appeared. (This in fact changed every dictionary in existence. And ironically, across the other side of the globe, there was another family arguing about the same point of cupboardy.) ‘Well, from the dictionaries’ point, cupboardy DOES exist’ Remi said, placing the dictionary on the table. ‘Thank you Remi, see Lydia? Cupboardy DOES exist, so there’ Zac said smugly. Lydia was red with fury and she left the apartment, adding ‘I’m going out’ as she left. Remi looked at Zac. ‘I think it’s her special time of the month’ Zac said.

 

Lydia made a bee-line for the shopping district when she heard a large crash. She turns the corner to see an odd sight. There were at least a dozen body-builders breaking in to a hardware store and stealing everything. Lydia ducked behind the nearby bins in hopes of hearing anything. They were just making hooting noises like monkeys. She hid there until they had made off with the goods. ‘Riii-iiii-iii-iight’ she rolled, putting emphasis on the ‘T’. She immediately began to run back to her building when a police car showed up. A large and a small policeman popped out. ‘Do you know what happened here young miss?’ the large one asked. ‘Yes I do, officer ummm’. ‘Fred miss, and this is officer Nobbs. Now, please tell us what happened.’ ‘Well, I was nearby when I heard a crash. I came round the corner and found a squad of about a dozen body-builders. They were hooting like a bunch of chimps as they ran off. Dunno why, it’s like they traded brains for brawn, literally’ she said, walking off, then running full pelt. The officer wrote it down then looked at his partner. ‘NOBBS! This is a crime scene, standards say we can take for evidence after this is decreed a crime scene’ he stated after his partner tried to make off with a drill, and a saw, and several boxes of nails, and a bowling ball, and a hula hoop, and gumballs, and a raccoon, and curly cues, and breakfast cereal, and anchovies, and….yeah, that’s pretty much it.

 

Lydia raced back as Zac and Remi had restarted their Scrabble game. ‘Guys, something weird is happening?’ ‘What, was your period dry?’ Zac asked. She whacked him and then stated ‘no Zac. Ya see, I was wondering through the shopping area when I heard a store being robbed, the odd thing was, it was being robbed by a bunch of brain dead body-builders. This is strange, I think this calls for ‘Fire Fox’ and ‘Fire Princess’.’ ‘I thought it was flame or fire-’ Remi started, but was cut short. ‘No time for names, wait, no, we shouldn’t mobilise too early, they would be gone, but let’s be prepared’ she said, sitting down to a new game of Scrabble. She didn’t notice that Zac was looking at Remi and tapping the side of his head (the universal symbol for ‘this person is NUTS!’).

 

Meanwhile, in a dark gym, the aforementioned body-builders deposited the goods in front of a throne, on it, was Mr. Tuxedo. He smiled at this. ‘Good work minions, you deserve a ‘special reward’ he said. They all began to hoot excitedly as a dozen pale-blue tentacles snaked around from a nearby doorway. Each of them jabbed into the backs of the collected men as they began pumping. They all remained motionless as the strange tentacles began pumping up the already swollen men. This bizarre occurrence went for a few seconds and stopped. One tentacles couldn’t dislodge itself as its victim became bigger and bigger. Tuxedo ducked behind the throne as the minion exploded. He looked up and saw the area painted with gore. He looks angrily at the tentacle, which makes a shrugging motion and recoiled. He sighs and then begins a cliché evil laugh, but stopped. ‘How sad’ he muttered, sitting down.

 

For the next few days, all three of them were on extensive look-out for strange things. Lydia began noticing that many of them men in the city were oddly buff. She wanders over to a guy and simply asks ‘why is everyone suddenly buff?’ ‘You didn’t hear? There’s a new gym in town that can guarantee muscles after one work out, special secret’ the guy said happily. ‘Soooo, what’s the secret?’ The guys face blanked. ‘I don’t remember’ he said and moved on. She turned to see that somehow, Zac was in crossing guard uniform and was directing traffic. She raised and eyebrow, then saw that was someone who looked like Zac, the real one was talking to another abnormally buff guy. ‘I got a lead’ they both said.

 

Later that night, Zac (in Fire Fox), Lydia (as Flame….it doesn’t matter) and Remi had gathered at the supposed ‘new gym’. ‘Okay, this may be our lead to the robberies, we must do this with utmost stealth’ Remi stated, but found Zac and Lydia had gone in already. ‘Bloody kids’ he mutters and follows. They stalk around the place when the lights go on full blare. They were suddenly surrounding by hideously large muscle guys. ‘This is like something out of a fan-fic’ Lyds whispered to them. A melodious chuckling noise directs them to the nearby throne, upon which was Tuxedo. ‘I should’ve known you were behind something so wrong Tuxedo!’ Remi shouted. ‘How cliché’ he replied suavely. ‘God, what is with you and giant muscle men Tux? I mean, your minions appear to be wearing nothing but speedos, and there was that case of my first night as Fire Fox, seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?’ Zac asked, slightly disgusted. ‘Its fun to do unnatural things, if you lived as I had you would feel the same, now attack minions!’ Tux ordered. The hooting men began closing in. The trio nodded and jumped up as their attackers lunged at them. They began to get looked into combat, with Zacs side winning (as usual). That is when it began to get weird.

 

The same pale-blue tentacles came and each began to do their work on the minions. Lydia began gagging as the strange muscle process began to occur. The minions were ridiculously over sized. Seeking his chance, Zac immediately lashed out at the tentacles, severing them as a sickly yellow ooze drained from it. This triumph was in vain as the tentacle re-attached itself to the other half. Lydia herself was having problems with this situation. The tentacles detached themselves, but the minions were too muscle bound to move. Tuxedo sighed at this and began to retreat up some nearby stairs. The minions however, were all grabbed by nearby tentacles and dragged through the door way. They all raced after Tuxedo who was on the roof. He turned and chuckled as they cornered him. ‘You’re surrounded Tux, give up’ Zac ordered. ‘No, I don’t think that will be happening’ Tux stated. A low rumbling reverberated through the roof as a horrible creature ripped its way through. It was a large ball of writhing tentacles with a single, horrible red eye peering through the mass. It had a large fanged maw. ‘F**K!’ they all shouted. Zac dodged and parried the tentacles as they shot out at him. ‘Beautiful isn’t it? It’s one of my latest creations. I call it Belua creator, or simply, Macro Maker. Able to withstand temperatures of up to 5000oC, it is completely immune to your fire powers, and, your final move, the Immolator. A ha ha ha!’ Tux proudly boasted, ‘Now finish them!’. The creature began to coil it’s tentacles around moulding its horrid form into a makeshift body. It has long flailing fingers and toes, whilst the main body contained the head. Zac looked at this and began to chuckle evilly. Even Tux was put off by this. ‘Has your imminent doom broken your mind?’ ‘No Tux, you see, the Immolator ISN’T my ultimate move’ Zac said, a large grin on his face. A large sweat drop creased Tux’s perfect brow. ‘What?’ he said worriedly. Zac didn’t answer, he didn’t need to.

 

From Lydia and Remi’s point of view, what Zac did was spectacular. She noticed the shimmer around him from the intense heat. She watched him rise into the air and summon large balls of fire into his hands. She heard him yell ‘Final Sun Elysium!’ and then he slowly span around and launched them at the creature. It tried to guard but they split into six separate balls, which levitated it up as well. She was even amazed how they launched a barrage at the creature. ‘They re-absorb the fireballs by being opposite each other, Zac really did plan this through’ she thought. The creature, after being royally battered, was reeling. Zac himself smiled as he slowly moved all spheres together into one large ball. He slowly clenched his fist and brought it right down in an ‘all right!’ fashion. This caused the sphere to slowly collapse into itself and then exploding. All that was left of the macro maker was some ash. Tuxedo, Lydia and Remi were gob-smacked. Lydia had enough sense to ask ‘Final Sun Elysium?’ Zac smiled at her, simply saying ‘yep’. Tuxedo regathered his senses and immediately jumped off the roof, revealing four large daemon wings hidden beneath his cape. They sighed at him getting away and went down the stairs.

 

They found the unconscious minions in the showers, they wee noticeably smaller then before. ‘They appear to be purging the creatures’ venom’ Remi stated, ‘it’s best to leave them’. They went back into the main area and tried to re-set up everything. Lydia noticed Zac looking at himself in a mirror and flexing. ‘I wish I was a bit buffer’ he sadly thought.

 

Across town, in a familiar museum in a familiar room, there stands a tarot deck. One of the cards glows with a bright sky blue light, the roaring of a creature is heard…

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 9]Ep9: The Blizzard of Claws

 

In a dark and gloomy castle, Mr. Tuxedo was kneeling before a throne, on which was seated a figure, cloaked in shadows. The most defining feature were the eyes, which glew from within a shroud of shadows. ‘Tuxedo, you are one of my greatest servants, and yet, you fail to defeat a mere human, his girlfriend, and a traitor. Why is this?’ the darkness asked. ‘I do not truly know my lord; I didn’t expect the boy to so ably wield the Dizasters. Nor did I expect such…’creative’ attacks like his ‘Final Sun Elysium’, it breached the 5000o mark of my Macro Maker’ Tux explained with a hint of sadness. The shadows rose up and it snapped its fingers(?). Two large guardsmen moved from their stations and grabbed Tuxedo. ‘My…..my lord?’ he quivered. ‘Tuxedo, you cannot get away with everything, now go and enjoy some quality time with Gal’gar the sadist, I hear he has some new torture methods’ it said as Tux was dragged away. Its eyes slowly closed as it began to move. ‘Captain, go awaken Kolderan, I sense a strong power emanating from the human world, and this is the perfect task for him’ it stated. The nearby daemon bowed and proceeded to leave the chamber. ‘But no Warp Beasts’ it bellowed as the captain left. ‘The human world looks so peaceful’ it said sadly, looking out into a hellish wasteland.

 

Lydia and Zac were sitting on his balcony overlooking the city as the sun began to set on the horizon. They were undercover as the rain heavily pounded the roof and the streets below. ‘It’s always nice when it’s the rainy season, the showers pound down as it gets cooler’ Lydia states. ‘Yeah, and every hairdo explodes from the humidity’ Zac mused when a dinging noise sounded. ‘Oh, the roast is ready’ Zac said as they got into the safety of the kitchen. Zac and Lydia went over to the oven and he pulled out a richly browned lamb roast, garnished with herbs. ‘This looks delicious Lyds’. ‘Yeah, how are the tators doing?’ ‘I’ll check’ Zac said as he looked into the bottom shelf of the oven. ‘They’re golding up nicely, should be ready in 5 minutes’ he said happily.

 

All three of them were sitting down to their meal of lamb, potato, peas and gravy They began to mercilessly chow down when the computer alarm went off. Zac and Lydia sighed as Remi went over to check the alarm. ‘What is it Rems? And can it wait?’ Zac asked. ‘No, the computer is reading a powerful daemonick energy coming from that museum we trashed a couple of weeks ago’ Remi told them. ‘Why would they go there? There was nothing of value there’ Lydia asked. ‘Not this time. There are large scale power readings coming from that same museum, readings similar to Fire Fox’. ‘You mean it’s another Dizaster?’ Zac asked excitedly as Lydia walked over to the comp, she saw randomly moving coloured bars and frowned. ‘Yes young disaster, however, the reading isn’t strong enough to identify it, but, following cliché match up styles, it is probably going to be the ice Dizaster, unfortunately, I don’t remember what animal it was’. ‘Who the hell cares? It’s a new disaster, finally I can have some variation’ Zac shouted happily, ‘but first dinner’. They all sat down again and finished dinner.

 

About 5 minutes later they had transformed and the group made their way to the museum they had trashed which has been miraculously repaired in such a short time. They began to sneak around the museum when crashing a yelling was heard, They look around the corner to see a hulkish daemon in gladiator style armour ordering about some smaller daemons whilst smashing stuff with a large mace. ‘COME ON MAGGOTS! WE HAVE TO LOCATE THAT OBJECT OF GREAT POWER FOR THE KING, LONG LIVE THE KING!’ it roared. ‘Kolderan, I can’t believe he’s still alive’ Remi muttered. ‘You know him?’ Zac asked. ‘Yeah, that’s one of the Supreme Kings berserk daemons. Those are the ones you NEED to look out for. Kolderan is one of three who learned to speak, that isn’t saying much though, since there were about 100 last I checked. Now, I’ll deal with him, you look for the Dizaster and deal with the cronies’. They all nodded, neither Zac nor Lydia wanting to get near that thing. Zac began to make a mental note, ‘Memo to myself, consider the idea that the Supreme King has a hyperophelia fetish or the writer can’t come up with better plot elements’.

 

Remi moved into the hallway to face Kolderan. ‘They both locked eyes and the glare off began. ‘So Kol, they finally let you out of your cage? What has it been? 100 years?’ he asked mockingly. ‘And I see you finally decided to show your ugly mug again’ Kol sneered. ‘Oh, I see they finally taught you words that have more than 6 letters, you should be so proud’. ‘PREPARE TO DIE TRAITOR!’ Kol roared as he dashed at Remi, who prepared to guard with his sword.

 

Lydia and Zac had ran deeper into the museum until they had gotten to the ancient history room. Banging echoes about as Remi is thrown through a nearby wall and lands near the duo. ‘Nice to see ya stranger’ Zac said smiling. ‘Shut…it’ Remi said weakly. Kol and his crew walk through the hole in the wall. He then notices Zac and begins to roar with laughter. ‘You have GOT to be joking. You’re the kids who’ve been giving Tuxedo such a hard time, how sad’ he howled. Zac sighed as he summoned the Ardent Blade. ‘I’m 23, I’m not some kid. Now, I’ll make this quick’ Zac said with confidence as he rushed at Kol. Kol swung his mace at him but Zac dodged and slashed at the beasts’ chest. Zac gulped as he found the cut to be extremely shallow. He whimpered as Kol swung again and knocked Zac through several display cases. He spat out several globules of blood as he dusted the glass off of himself. A comforting light blue glow emanated by his hand. Zac grabbed at the object as Kol drew nearer. He had gotten his hands on a car, upon which was a polar bear wearing a crown made of ice, underneath was a circle with ‘II” on it. He wearily gets up whilst keeping the card hidden. ‘Dizaster out’ he mutters, reverting to his normal clothes and adding Fire Fox to his open hand. He glares at Kol as he puts FF into his pocket. As he gets closer Zac realised how dwarfed he is compared to Kol. ‘You don’t stand a chance, give up now Kolderan’ Zac threatened. ‘Now you have got to be kidding. You, a weak human, defeat me, an elite daemon warrior. Even our weakest runt Hitu could defeat you, show him Hitu’ it laughs whilst shoving the smaller daemon towards Zac. It shrugs and charges at Zac. Zac holds up the light blue card hidden in his hand and shouts ‘Dizaster 2–Blizzard Bear’. Nothing happens. ‘Cue Anime Transformation’ he whispers.

 

*Cue Anime Transformation*

 

Zac stands in darkness with the card held in front of him. It begins to emit white particles as he lightly tosses it. The particles circle around him and then split off into four parts, one on each hand and foot. White furred boots appear on his feet as thick white gloves with black nails appear on his hands. All the particles begin to move up his arms and legs. A large gladius appears on his right arm as leather straps appear on his right. The particles move up to his torso as a black leather ‘hold all’ appears around his crotch and thick furred armour plate appears on his chest. His hair shortens and becomes snow white in colour. The particles begin to spin around him but then Zac sweeps his arms out, becoming coated in bulging muscle. He clicks his fingers which calls an arm guard in the shape of a polar bears’ head onto his right shoulder. Another sweep of his arms summons ice crystals onto his gladius and back. He crashes his fists together as a large ice cluster behind him explodes into ‘II’.

 

*End Cue*

 

Zac is standing looking incredulous at his new form, everyone else is stunned as well. ‘I’m buff’ he states in amazement. Lydia puts her hands together whilst looking at Zac whilst smiling insanely. Her eyes slowly move down and then the smile breaks. She muttered something that sounded along the lines of ‘damn’. Zac smiles evilly at the tiny daemon below him and amazing at the size he has gained. ‘Remi, what is the ice weapon?’ he asked sweetly. Remi chuckled and said ‘a mace’. Zac holds out his right hand and states ‘Bone Crusher Mace’. A large iron mace adorned with spikes made of ice appears in Zacs hand. He laughs evilly as he raises the mace above his head. The daemons pupils’ shrank as Zac brought the mace down, ending the creatures’ life with a sad little farty noise. Kol’s pupils shrank with fury. ‘MOCK ME WILL YOU!’ he roared and ran at Zac, who launched him back with a large ice ball he threw nonchalantly. Zac points the mace at Kol. ‘Ice spike rockets’ Zac said as he launched all the spikes on the mace at Kol. He gets balled over but he got up and began to pull each of the spikes out. Zac sighs at this. ‘The mission is lost Kol, we must flee’ one of the nearby daemons said. Kol glares at it, and then at Zac. ‘We will leave then’ Kol said bitterly, urging all the daemons out of the room. Lydia and Remi prevented a few from escaping as Zac was holding a shimmering sphere in his hand. The duo move out of the way as Zac sends out a jet of freezing wind, which completely freezes the helpless creatures. He clicks his fingers and they shatter. Lydia moves over to Zac and begins to rub his muscles. He purrs and then moves her hands away. ‘You little nympho’ he whispers to her. she smiles and they look at Remi. ‘Shall we leave? Or should I leave you two alone?’ Remi asked sarcastically. They all grab onto to each other and teleport out.

 

Zac looks happily at the two cards in his hands. ‘Dizaster 1-Fire Fox, and Dizaster 2-Blizzard Bear. The happy couple’ he muses, listening to the pitter patter of the rain. Lydia was going through her spell book when she notices that there are more chapters in it. ‘Hey Rems, there are ice spells in my book now. Could it be that the book is somehow linked to the Dizasters?’ ‘I cannot really tell, it is a coincidence I’ll admit, but it might be possible I guess’. They each looked at their accomplishments as thunder crashes overhead.

 

Kolderan meanwhile was kneeling before the dark throne. Next to the dark creature was Tuxedo, looking battered but still smug at Kol. The began to speak. ‘Kolderan, you, my greatest berserk daemon, failed me. You let the boy obtain another Dizaster, for that, you will suffer’. Dark tendrils extended out from the shadows and encircled Kol, mutating him into something more useful, Tuxedo looked away with disgust.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 10]Ep 10: The Enemy of my Enemy of my Enemy is Certainly NOT my Friend

 

It was deep into the night when an eerie glow resonated from an abandoned alleyway. A large dark fissure opened in a nearby wall as a small troop of daemons emerged. They began to set up when a dark figure entered the mouth of the alley. All daemons caught sight of this and began to rush at the figure, who, given a better look; was dressed in a suit of dim gold armour. The figure brandished a large sword and instantly slayed the nearest daemon. The others gave that little thought as they began to assault this mysterious interloper. The figure quickly slew all but one of the daemons, who instantly fled through the portal…

 

Zac, Lydia and Remi had heard inhuman screaming as they raced to deal with a new daemonick presence in the area. They all entered the alley to see a knight-like figure closing the portal with a bright glow. It looked at the trio before it and instantly fled. Zac and Lydia raced after it whilst Remi stood where he was, completely stunned. The (lovers) pair returned after losing the being. They both looked at the petrified Remi and began to poke him with a stick, getting no response. After transforming back into their normal forms, Zac and Lydia grabbed Remi and began to carry him back to the apartment.

 

The daemon who had survived the onslaught was now cowering before Mr. Tuxedo, who was glaring at it. ‘I gave you a simple task, and now you’re telling me your group was BEATEN BY ONE LOUSY HUMAN!? Now tell me, oh tell me to whom beat you?’ He roared. ‘Ummm, well, It was……a Void Knight’ it quivered looking at the ground. A thumping noise was heard and the creature looked up, to see Tuxedo had fainted.

 

After a few minutes of different remedies, Remi finally came too. ‘So Rems, what was it that scared you so much?’ ‘It was……a Void Knight’ Remi whispered. Lydia and Zac were both completely nonplussed by this. ‘Erm Remi, I don’t why this matters or anything, buuuut, what IS a Void Knight?’ Lydia asked. ‘To put it simply, they are, well, that is to say they WERE the peace-keepers between earth and the nega universe. They died out centuries ago. I simply couldn’t believe that one had somehow survived’. ‘Well, what matters is this: are they good, bad, or neutral’ Zac asked. ‘They are neutral, although, they join either side depending on which side seems the most likely to win, or which side is willing to pay. They ARE mercenaries, but, getting this one and only knight is imperative. But, I think we can bait him somehow’.

 

Across town, the knight in question entered from a balcony into what is assumed its apartment. It took its helmet off to reveal short blond hair, bit by bit, each piece of armour was taken off to reveal the knight was a guy(?). He placed the sword onto a stand and left the room he was in.

 

Over the next few days, Lydia, Zac and Remi had tried numerous times to capture a live daemon. They finally managed to capture a lesser daemon in the nearby park, and, despite not being able to talk English, was surprisingly difficult. ‘Man, it’s easier to kill these things then capture it, eh Remi?’ Zac said as they began to set up the trap. The creature was still in its cage. ‘Okay now, we have to make it as if this creature is immaculately powerful, THAT will be the most tastiest of baits. BUT, this bait will become too tasty for our new friends good’ Remi chuckled.

 

In the same place that they first saw the Knight, Remi had prepared the trap. The creature had been released into the alleyway, and wards had been set up at the entrance, preventing it’s escape. ‘Okay Rems, so we wait for our friend?’ Zac asked. ‘Ya, those wards are made from daemon magick, so they will reek of their odour, the perfect bait, now silence and wait’ Rems whispered.

 

After an hour of waiting, the Knight showed up. Looking at the wards and then at the daemon, the Knight face-palmed itself. ‘SO STUPID!’ its warped voice roared. It slashed at the creature, destroying it instantly. ‘Looks like the bait was too tasty’ Zac mocked in his FF beast form. Remi came from the sky on the opposite side. Lydia appeared at Zacs’ side. ‘You’re trapped’ Zac barked. The knight readied his blade…

 

Tuxedo stood before the Supreme King. ‘My lord, a Void Knight still exists. Unfortunately, The Dizaster is there with it right now. Also, forgive me for not telling you sooner, I was comatose from the shock of learning of the existence of the Knight’ He explained. ‘Tuxedo, do I wear make up, jewelry and make your dinner?’ The shadows asked. ‘Ummm, no?’. ‘THAT’S BECAUSE I’M NOT YOUR MUMMY! NOW GO GET YOUR TOYS! YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS! AND STOP HIM NOW!’ It roared, the shadows flailing wildly.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 11]Dizaster 9 Ep 11: But the Enemy of my Enemy of my Enemy of my Enemy CAN be my Friend

 

Zac and co were facing off against the Void Knight when what could only be described as ‘all hell breaking loose’ occurred, it would be difficult to fully describe the sheer awesomeness, so it will be told in poetry style.

 

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

The daemons lost,

And dizaster rocks you.

 

*Waits* All right, I’ll give you a play by play *grumbles* can’t always be epic.

 

Several fissure appeared and a large cohort of daemons (about 30) appeared, they were lead by Tuxedo. ‘Okay Knight, either you come with us, or be destroyed’ he said. Zac growled softly, alerting Tuxedo. ‘So, the wretched Fire Dizaster has another form, so be it, we shall not loss’ he stated, pulling out his blade and lashing out at him. Zac roared and sent Tuxedo back with a fireball. The daemons watched this and began to attack as well. Remi, Lydia and the Knight also joined in with Zac in assaulting the opposing force.

 

Outside the alley, two cops were watching this spectacle. ‘Oi Fred, ya seein this?’ the short one asked. ‘Seeing what Nobby?’ he asked. ‘You’re right, it’s nothing’ Nobbs said as they both moved away quite fast. ‘I hear the doughnut shop is giving out half priced cinnamon rolls.’ ‘Really? Go figure, but I do loves me my cinnamon rolls’.

 

Lydia herself was having fun as she was trying out her new ice spells, which mostly entailed her crushing foes with large slabs of ice. Remi was applying is usually skilful sword fighting in taking down the daemons effortlessly. The knight was doing as well, lashing out wildly against his foes. Zac could’ve sworn he saw the knight almost trip a few times during his attacks, but he couldn’t worry about that as he was parrying Tux’s blade with diamond hard claws. He managed to break Tux’s guard and slashed at his chest; it bled an oily black substance. Tux groaned under this new pressure. He slowly reached up to his mask but he hesitated. ‘No, my latent powers are only used as a last resort’ he muttered. He slowly staggered back to the portal when Zac was quickly catching up to him, Zac almost went for a second and final attack when he paused, letting Tux escape. All the remaining creatures fled as well. Lydia, Remi and the knight walked over to him. ‘Zac, why didn’t you finish him off? He’s a menace’ she whined. Zac curtly turned to her. ‘Because then we’d have no one left to hate. Besides, the S.K would most likely get someone far more competent if we offed Tux’ he growled. He then transformed into his human FF form and turned to the knight. ‘Sorry for the ambush, but we needed to get you alone without any chance of fleeing. Since you are here now, we would like to ask you to join us’ he said. The knight paused at this question, slowly tapping his palm with his finger until he seemed to have reached a conclusion. Slowly, the knight took his helmet off to reveal the face of what appeared to be a 19 year old. He had fine features and short blonde hair. ‘Hello’ he said, ‘my name is Adam Marina, and I’d love to join you’. Zac and Lydia were shocked at this, Remi was merely stunned. ‘He’s so young’ Lydia thought.

 

After making their way back to Zac’s apartment with their new ‘friend’ and after they had transformed back into their normal outfits, They all began to get comfortable. Lydia put the kettle on as they began to learn about Adam. ‘So Adam, it’s nice to meet you. I am Zac Armitayle, better known as Fire Fox AND Blizzard Bear. This is my friend Lydia Armstrong, better known as……I don’t really know. And this’ Zac said, motioning to Remi, ‘Is my newest friend and teacher Remi Kengspu. So tell me, how did you learn about daemons, why you began to fight them, and better still, your unknown heritage?’ ‘I’ll start with this Zac. I first learned that I was a void knight after my uncle, who was prescribed as insane, wanted to talk to me alone. He told me about the Void Knights and what they did. I was skeptical at first, but, he continued to tell me things that tied really well with the recent appearance of ‘monsters’ and ‘pyromaniacal heroes’. He told me that the armour was stashed deep in the cellars of grandma’s house. I visited there and surprisingly, there it was. I started fighting the daemons because, well, I was jealous of Fire Fox, that is to say, you. But my powers, I’m having trouble controlling or even learning about. No teachers you see, so I feel that it would be best to join you, as I knew the daemons or the ‘Dizaster’ would come for me’. Zac contemplated this as Lydia poured the tea. ‘Hey Lyds, did ya get all that?’ Zac called to the kitchen. ‘Yeah, hold on, just getting the biscuits’. ‘Lydia, we’re not in merry old England, just bring out the drinks’. Lydia walked in glaring at Zac as she put each drink down. ‘Let’s see, coffee for Remi, tea for me and Zac, and a Milo for Adam’ she said. Adam raised his eye brow to this but felt it was best not to ask.

 

After an hour of chatting and such, they got to know Adam pretty well, such as him working at that near by Video store (see Ep 1), he comes from an apparently rich family but his mother wouldn’t have charity, and that his sword and armour were over 1,000 years old. ‘Well Adam Marina, or shall we know called Void, welcome to the team’ he said, holding out his hand. Adam grabbed it and they shook on it. ‘Now that that is over and done with, I feel it is best to say that we have a sizable force, but now, you guys need training on your powers, starting tomorrow’ Remi stated. The other three just collapsed anime style.

 

Meanwhile, Tuxedo had to fess up to the Supreme King. 'So, you let the one AND only Void Knight slip into the hands of the Dizaster. Tuxedo, I grow tired of your failings. And when I get tired I get cranky, and when I get cranky I get angry, and when I get angry people get hurt. You should be glad I don't transmorgrify you now, just like dear Kolderan' He angrily stated. Tuxedo shivered and looked out the window to see some of the guardsman trying to peg down a rather wild centauric daemon. 'No, I must apologise my lord. I will do all that I can, sadly, I must say that I was even considering to liberate my latent powers. Just please, don’t transmorgrify me into a Taur daemon, I could not live through the embarrassment' he whined lamely. The shadows shifted slightly. 'Do not fear, I wouldn't turn you into a Taur, I would do much worse. But, you are the best sorcerer and alchemist I have. By the way, have you discovered the Razor Fang cure? The Dizaster managed it, have your men done the same?' 'No my lord, whatever he did, it must've been an ancient and powerful magic'.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 12]Ep 12: Supernatural Powers 101

 

Zac had been eagerly awaiting the afternoon. He noticed how even work seemed to be going faster for him. By the big rack of 4 pm he finally got off work and proceeded home to his cosy apartment and the magical man who lived there. As usual, Zac found Remi playing the PS2. ‘You like Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Remi?’ Zac asked. ‘It’s alright, I just wish they could have made this a bit harder, all I do is win win win’. ‘Right, so when is training?’ ‘So eager young dizaster? Well, soon, course, Lydia needs to do her Tae Kwon Doe lesson and Adam knocks off at 6. It might be a while before training, but be assured I have found the most perfect of places’ Remi said with a chuckle. ‘Sure, but now Mr. Win Win Win, how about I give YOU a run for your money?’ Zac challenged, sitting on the couch and grabbing the other controller. ‘Team battle?’ ‘Sure’

 

By about 7 pm, the gang had assembled and had been fed thanks to some of Lydia’s legendary quick cooking. ‘So Rems, where exactly are we going?’ Adam asked. ‘Too a training place where no one can bother us’ Remi said turning the PS2 on. ‘Remi?’ Zac asked, a little fearfully. Remi uttered some magic words and they were all zapped into the TV.

 

Meanwhile, Tuxedo was getting the thrashing of a lifetime. He was chained to a rack as he was whipped every few seconds. ‘Why does this have to be a public event?’ he weakly asked. The torturer shrugged, ‘Something to do I guess’ he answered and continued on. Tuxedo was growing annoyed of the jeering from the crowds and uttered a quick spell; the left latch holding his arm down was silently released. He quickly went and removed the mask from his face. Doing so, dark flames surrounded him and consumed him, expanding into a large area of fire. Though not clearly, Tuxedo was slowly transforming within the darkness. Dark laughing was heard from within the flames as a spiked tail launched out and skewered the helpless daemon. It dissolved into darkness. The flames slowly died down as Tuxedo was revealed from within, in his perfect outfit and mask. Tuxedo glared at the petrified crowd and vanished.

 

Zac, Lydia and Adam awoke to find themselves in a large grassy area, with some hills nearby. Zac looked at his hand to see they were virtual. ‘Remi, please don’t tell me we’re in DBZBT3’. ‘It was the perfect spot to train, as we won’t be disturbed here. Which is why I brought this’ he said, pulling a black board out of nowhere. ‘Now then, class is adjourned. We will begin our lesson with this’ Remi stated, causing Void Knight to appear on the board. ‘Now, the Void Knights are powerful fighters whose mission is to police our world and the nega universe. They possess the power to open and close rifts between the worlds. They also have the power to summon their own guardian dragon’. As soon as the word dragon left Remi’s mouth, Adam suddenly bolted upright from his sleep stupor. ‘Really?!’ he asked incredulously. ‘No, I just said that to get your attention. Really, each knight has a guardian animal which guides and protects them, that is, if the knight can give them a physical form. The knight has no control over what animal their guardian is, but the animals form will bear resemblance to the knight’s personality. I remember a lazy knight who got a sloth, and an aggressive one who got a tiger. It’s a personality thing really. But we’ll start by seeing if you can contact your guardian’ Remi logged.

 

After some practice sessions, Adam was ready to begin the meditation to allow him to speak with his guardian. ‘Ready’ Zac asked. Adam nodded and began to concentrate. Slowly, grey fog began to cover the area around him til no feature remained. Adam looked about when a sly voice broke the silence, ‘You have finally come Adam Marina, I have been waiting for you for quite some time’. ‘Where are you? And what are you?’ Adam called out. A grey figure passed through the fog until a head popped out from the fog. ‘Oh, you’re a wolf’ Adam said. ‘Sorry for being so disappointing’ it growled indignantly. ‘No no, I was just talking out loud, I was surprised you were a wolf, but sorry, but it seems kinda cliché. But, you know my name, but what is yours?’ ‘Whatever name you give me Adam’. ‘Okay, how about Wolf?’ ‘No’. ‘Okay, how about Amadeus?’ ‘No’. ‘Bane?’ ‘Good enough, but, ugh, its difficult to speak to you eye to eye, give me a moment’ Bane said, pulling his head back into the cloud. Adam could hear grunting and the sound of stretching, until Bane came back into view, he was in an anthro form. ‘Ah, I didn’t know you could do that, but, at least your wearing clothes for modesty right?’ ‘No, I’m a spirit, I don’t have one’. ‘Ah, well, come into view better, you’re a bit foggy still’. The wolf sighed and came into view. It was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, but then Adam noticed that it wasn’t an ordinary wolf. It had two large leathery wings extending from its back, along with two horns arcing back from the top of its head, and the tail was longer and more dragon-like. ‘You’re a Wolfragon an- huh? Did you hear that?’ Adam asked, hearing voices. They started getting louder, it sounded like ‘Adam, Adam, ADAM!’

 

That last call broke Adam away. He realised he was back with Zac and Lydia. ‘Sorry about breaking your focus, but both me and Lydia would like to train, since you just spent an hour in lala land’. ‘But I was talking to my guardian for only 10 minutes. ‘You did, but you spent 50 minutes meditating’ Lydia added. Remi himself had fallen asleep by his board. Lydia, Zac and Adam woke him up by putting ice down his shirt. ‘Agh, YOU LITTL-Nevermind nevermind. In nay case, the next topic are Sorceresses. They gain their power through magical items like amulets, charms, magical artifacts or spell books. Lydia’s spell book is adorned with many of these, giving it incredible power. They usually memorise the spell names but most spells are written into the items or books. Lydia’s book is still dormant as it seems to react with the Dizasters. Now, a sorceresses strength comes from her magic, a stronger sorceress knows more magic then a weaker one. Their magic is simple to use and thus no training is needed’ Remi continued on, not noticing Adam pouting and Lydia glaring.

 

After some mild threatening, Remi gave Lydia a chance to practice on her magic. ‘Okay, so I hit the target?’ ‘Yes Einstein’. ‘Smartass’ Lydia muttered, holding her book aloft, she quickly uttered a spell called ‘Sorceress in the sky with diamonds’. It involved jumping up then launching a hail of icicles at the foe. She was given tries with each one of her spells and somehow consumed two hours. Zac was getting tired of this. ‘Enough Lydia, it’s my go’. Remi smiled at this. ‘Okay, now, the Dizaster is a universally powerful being as it can command an element and manipulate it to his/her/it’s will. To use the power, just a mention of the elements name or something that has connections like snow, ice, frost, or fire, Bunsen, flame etc. Their power is limited by creativity and the amount of energy the user has. Now, usually, a Dizaster has one super attack, such as Fire Fox’s current one, Final Sun Elysium’. ‘What’s the Final Sun Elysium?’ Adam asked. ‘Never you mind, now then, now that Zac possesses both the Fire and the Ice Dizasters, he can create a form that is an unofficial tenth Dizaster using the latter’. Zac was interested by this. ‘What do you mean unofficial?’ ‘It doesn’t count, as it is a chimera form of fire and ice’ Remi continued. Zac was excited by this and wanted to try it out. ‘Be wary Zac, it might be uncontrollable, and so we’ll be ready to fend you off, okay?’ ‘Sure’ Zac returned. He was about to activate the two dizasters when dark portals appeared everywhere and daemons began to pour out of them. ‘God damn it, can’t we ever get a moment of peace?’ Zac groaned, transforming it Blizzard Bear. Everyone began to fight but Lydia began to get distracted by Zac. ‘Damn it, control your hormones girl, you have a battle to fight’ Lydia scolded herself. She didn’t notice a portal appearing behind her. Tuxedo slowly stepped out and grabbed Lydia, holding a knife to her throat. Zac, Remi and Adam noticed the daemons were backing off. ‘Hunh?’ Zac muttered, and then he noticed Tuxedo. ‘Release her Tuxedo!’ Zac ordered. ‘No, I don’t think I’ll be doing that, but I have a business proposition for you’ he suavely said. ‘Huh?’ ‘I want to make a deal with you. God, and I thought lesser daemons were dense’. ‘What’s the deal?’ ‘It’s simple, I’ll release your girlfriend here, and in exchange, you’ll return with me to the Nega Universe. The Supreme King has reasoned that if he can’t destroy you, he’ll force you to join him instead, now decide, your girlfriend, or you’. Zac groaned and transformed out. ‘I’ll go with you, now release Lydia!’ he roared. ‘Good boy’ Tuxedo said, tossing Lydia aside and getting his two guardsmen to cuff Zac. With Zac in tow, Tuxedo and his warriors quickly left through their portals, they closed behind them. Lydia fell to ground, weeping. Adam and Remi were stunned.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 13]Dizaster 9 Ep 13: A Daring Rescue

 

Hokay, to explain this Ep, another revamp is needed. In the last Ep, Zac, Lydia, Adam and Remi had magically transported themselves into a video game to train their abilities in peace. This plan failed as daemons attacked and Lydia had been taken hostage by Tuxedo. Zac gave himself to Tuxedo to save Lydia, where will it all lead?

 

Zac had been languishing in the prison in the Supreme King’s fortress for three days. He had been sleeping most of the time to keep his strength, despite eating the oddly energizing food the prison master had been giving him. He slowly began to get up as shouting is heard outside and a daemoness had been thrown into the cell. She humphs at the door and gets on the seat opposite Zac when she noticed he was there. ‘What’re you in for?’ he asked her. She eyed him carefully then stated ‘Because I couldn’t summon this ancient daemon beast. I told Tux it was impossible, so he tossed me in here until I ‘learned my lesson’. And you?’ Zac sighed, ‘Daemodification, whatever that means’ he answered. ‘Ah, I wondered why a human would be in here, most of them are slaughtered on sight, so, you must be pretty powerful to receive ‘Tuxedo’s honour’ she said conversationally. ‘Should I tell her what I am, she might go a little ballistic, after all, I HAVE murdered many of her kin, but its best to try every output’. Zac looked at her and said ‘Yes, I am the dizaster that has currently been giving your kin some trouble. The SK believed that if he couldn’t destroy me, I’d join him instead’. Zac expected outrage but was surprised to hear her giggling. ‘That’s a good reason sweetie; I thought I sensed power from ya. Oh, I’m Marishka by the way’ she said, and then slyly winked at him. Zac overlooked the wink. ‘I’m Zac, nice to meet you, only if it were under better circumstances’ he said.

 

On earth, Lydia, Adam and Remi were still trying to bust Zac out of the nega universe. ‘My ears are burning, Zac is talking to another woman’ Lydia said. ‘Why does that matter?’ Adam asked. ‘Because Zac is naive, young and easily swayed, she could have her wicked way with him using her honey coated words’. Adam looked at Remi and mouthed ‘is this the same Zac, or has she gone insane?’ Remi mouthed back ‘she is having a withdrawal syndrome, it’s because Zac isn’t here’. Lydia then slammed her fist down on the coffee table, ‘THAT’S IT!’ she yelled. Remi and Adam jumped. ‘It’s simple boys, if we want Zac, we’ll go in and take him back. Remi, how many daemons guard the fortress?’ ‘Thousands.’ ‘Good, good. Now, it’s simple, we fight our way too him, many of the daemons will be there watching the daemodification ceremony, so we’ll attack then’. Trying not to anger the psycho lady, Adam and Remi agreed to her plan.

 

Zac had been sleeping more whilst keeping an eye of Marishka. ‘It’s not that I don’t trust her, it’s just that I CAN’T trust her’ he reasoned. Clinking is heard as the door opens for the daily gruel. Zac then noticed that one of his shackles was loose. ‘How god damn convenient’ he thought as he struck out at the daemon. Zac immediately grabbed the keys and unlocked his shackles. He looked at Marishka and unlocked hers as well. ‘Toodles’ he said to the KO’d guard and ran like Sebastian Coe. After running up several flights of stairs, Zac stopped to catch his breath. He could here the guards running about hunting for him. He spied a door and checked it; it was unlocked so he ran in.

 

Inside, Zac was surprised to see a sort of bedroom. It had a bed, a desk, a bed side table, an armoury and a stack of potions. ‘Tuxedo’s room’ Zac muttered as he looked about. On the desk was a framed picture. On it was Tuxedo (in his usual outfit) and what appeared to a human woman, they both looked very happy. ‘Enjoying yourself?’ a voice behind Zac asked. Zac turned but all he saw was black.

 

Lydia, Remi and Adam were standing in the convenient alley near the apartment blocks. ‘Okay, so I was told Void Knights can create portals to the nega universe, so take it away Adam’ Remi said. Adam looked confused, or he would have if not for the visor covering his face. ‘Okay’ he said and pointed his finger at the wall……and nothing happened. ‘I don’t bloody well know how to do this’ Adam protested as Lydia glared at him. ‘You use your sword’ Remi said. ‘Oh’ Adam said and pointed his blade at the wall. It glowed purple then loosed a jet of energy, creating a glowing rift in the wall. ‘Good one Adam’ Lydia said and jumped in. Adam and Remi followed suit.

 

Zac awoke to find himself in a large hall. He was chained to two large statues on either side. He noticed he wasn’t wearing his shirt. ‘Where’s my shirt’ he called. ‘Quiet’ a voice behind him said. Zac shivered as he felt a cold point on his back. ‘Oh stop moving, it’s hard to write runes on one’s back when they keep moving, now hold still sweetie’ the voice ordered. Zac looked behind him to see Marishka with blood red paint in a small pot in her right claw, and a paint brush in her right. ‘Marishka?’ ‘Yeah sweetie?’ ‘What’re you doing?’ ‘Just preparing you for the ritual, I didn’t say earlier, but I am the top sorceress in this cursed place, like my mother before me, and her mother before her, etc etc’. ‘What are you drawing?’ ‘Wings, ya know, big flappy things? Jut creating the spot for them to materialise. Look at your hands, they’re painted to resemble claws, and your toes resemble talons. This system was created to make daemodification easier, since the earlier ideal was injecting someone with daemon blood, which was painful and most didn’t survive the mutation, so magic and paint is the way’ she explained. ‘Crap’ Zac thought. ‘Away with you now, the wings don’t need to be 20 feet in length, now to your work’ a voice ordered. ‘Bye sweetie’ she whispered in his ear and left. The voice turned out to be Tuxedo, who looked at Zac with barely contained glee. ‘Enjoying yourself?’ he asked. ‘No!’ ‘Didn’t think so, don’t worry, you’ll soon be one of us.’ ‘I don’t WANT to be one of you! I’d prefer to remain human and- And, who was that woman in the picture’ Zac said. Tuxedo glared at him, but despite it, his complexion softened. ‘She, was my one and only love. I met her 17 years ago, when I was first granted leave to your world. I decided to gather information at a party, it was a costume ball so I fitted right in. But, that night was when I first discovered my love for what you humans call booze. Eventually, I met this one lady, her name was Sophia Talbain. We both fell in love with each other, that photo was taken at later at night. We left each other, but I left a gift…within her so to speak. However, when the Supreme King found out, I was prevented from returning to the human world until the dizaster showed up, which you fortunately did. I first went to find Sophia, but I found out she was dead. Died during labour, she named her, well, our daughter Rowena and-Grrrrr, WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS!’ Tuxedo roared and left, leaving Zac alone.

 

Lydia had been observing the fortress for some time, watching the guards for openings. ‘Okay, there will be a hole in the guard for precisely 6 seconds during the next minute, we rush in then’ she stated. Adam and Remi were just looking at her with fear in their eyes. ‘Who is this, and what did she do with Lydia?’ Adam thought. Surprisingly, she was right and they managed to sneak through the corridors in silence, except when they knock out the guards.

 

They found themselves in a large hallway. They carefully sneak behind a pillar to see Zac chained in the center, with Tuxedo chanting by him. Lydia madly rushes out to attack Tuxedo, but a large wall of flames surrounds the ritual. Adam and Remi catch up to her and look in awe. Tuxedo smugly smiles as he finished the last sentence. The trio look in fear as Zac begins screaming loudly. A large pair of leathery wings burst from his back and his hands and feet mutate into claws. His jaw extends outwards as he slowly transforms into a daemon. A tear drop fell from Lydia’s eyes, she cries ‘NO!’ as Zac, now a full daemon, stands eight feet tall. Slowly, the beast raises fire fox and morphs into an even more horrifying creation. It roars loudly as purple fires surround it and summons the Ardent Blade. It walks slowly over to the cowering trio, sword raised…

 

Lydia shuddered at the vision she just had. ‘I need to control my imagination’ she thought. She slowly looks into the hall to see all is relatively well. She closes her eyes and then quickly turns to Remi. ‘Rems, how strong IS Adam’s sword?’ she asks. Remi raised an eye brow to her. ‘I don’t know why that’s important but it is made from an extremely tough alloy, it’s as hard as diamonds, which was what was partially used to make it. It can withstand extremely high temperatures as well, why do you ask though?’ Lydia smiled at them. ‘I had a vision, the ritual is protected by a wall of flame, if Adam can separate a fraction of it; I can slip in and save Zac’. After agreeing to the plan, Lydia, Adam and Remi did the same plan and raced straight into the hall. A large wall of flames surrounds the ritual but Adam, after drawing his blade, brought his blade straight down on a wall segment, splitting some of the flame. ‘NOW LYDIA’ he calls. Lydia jumps into the gap and lands in front of Tuxedo, who glowers at her. ‘I never got revenge for last time’ she said. Quickly, she spun her staff and with all her might she knocked him aside. With inhuman strength she tore the chains out of the statues and grabbed Zac, who had fainted. Growling extremely, Lydia raced out of the hall with her two friends in tow. No one seemed to stop her, let alone get near enough to do so.

 

Zac woke up slowly. He got up groggily and looked about, realising he was in his apartment. ‘Was it all a dream?’ he asked, but he looked down at his fingers to see blood red paint on his hands and nails. Banging is heard as Lydia walked in through the door. ‘You’re awake’ she said and walked over to him. Zac expected a hug but was stopped short when Lydia grabbed him by the throat and began to throttle him. ‘I WAS WORRIED SICK, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TORMENT YOU CAUSED ME? DID YOU THINK YOU WERE THE HERO TRYING TO SAVE ME FROM TUXEDO? DO YOU? DO YOU!?’ she screamed at him. Remi and Adam walked in a sighed. ‘She’s back’ Remi said. They then grabbed Lydia and pulled her off him. ‘Go have a shower’ Remi told Zac. After Lydia had calmed down and Zac had cleaned off the paint and any odours he obtained, they all sat on the couch to discuss their next plan. Lydia noticed Zac wasn’t talking much. ‘What is it?’ she asked. He looked at her. ‘Rowena Talbain.’

 

 

[Soul Legacy]

Very good keep it up

[The Warden]

I always have

[spoiler=Episodes 14-17][spoiler=Ep 14][U]Ep 14: Rowena Talbain[/U]

For the past week, Zac and his crew had been trying to locate the whereabouts of Rowena, and had not had much luck. ‘Zac, this is pointless. Even if we knew what orphanage she lived in, it could have been demolished. Besides, why should we help Tuxedo anyway?’ Lydia grumbled. ‘Because, he actually allowed us to escape, did you notice how few guards tried to prevent us to leave, and he hesitated when you confronted him. Besides, I’m not doing this for Tux, it’s for….her. It’s not fair that someone should go through their life alone, Rowena has been alive for 17 years, that’s about a fifth of a lifetime. Who would want to be alone for the rest of a life?’ Zac said. Lydia prepared to argue, but she saw a certain look in Zac’s eyes, and for once, said nothing.

Moonwhile, across town, at a well known news broadcasting studio, the shit was hitting a fan. In a large and splendid office, a small and portly man was shouting at a woman in front of him. ‘THIS IS THE LAST STRAW TANI! YOUR REPORTS HAVE GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE, I MEAN, FIREMEN RESCUING A CAT IN A TREE!? NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT! YOU NEED WORK THAT’LL INTEREST EVERYONE!’ he screamed. The woman timidly looked at him. ‘B-B-But, sir, I have tried, but any good story I get to, every other studio is there already. I mean, gang fights and rape is a good subject, but those firemen where the only people gracious enough to accept an interview’ Tani replied. ‘That’s all well and good, Miss Tani Rhodes, but you need a real hitting story, otherwise, it’s the big ugly axe for you. Now, I know you have potential, your stories, although uninteresting and plain, are well written, and I respect that, but you need one good story to stay, otherwise, the editors will be happy to talk to you. Now, any story ideas’. Tani began to sweat a little when a thought, spiralling out from the cosmos, struck her dead-on. [I]‘OUCH, MOTHER-F**KER’[/I] she groaned inside. The thought slowly reached out and possessed her. ‘Well, sir, I have an idea. What if, I found out the identity of the new heroes around the city, you know, Fire Fox, Blizzard Bear, and those chicks that accompany them. How about that?’ she asked. The man almost looked impressed. ‘I don’t know, but, if you feel you can do it, do it. This is a hard task, so you have a year. Find the info and broadcast, got it?’ ‘Yes sir’ Tani said and left. Once outside the office, she sighed. [I]‘Impossible task ahead, good going girl’.[/I]

After more mindless searching through old files, Adam realised that they should be using the internet. ‘Adam, Google can’t solve EVERYTHING. I mean, if you type in [I]‘the answer to life the universe and everything’[/I] and hit search, you get 42. But, it could work, now, let’s see what we can get’ Zac said. After about 5 minutes of searching, they finally got the information they wanted. ‘Okay, Rowena Talbain, aged 17, living in oh, she lives in town. Okay, street is 35 Kessen Drv. Apartment number is 76. Okay, we got what we need, let’s go’ Zac said. They all departed quickly, with Adam behind so they wouldn’t see the smug look on his face.

After a short drive across town, they got to the apartment building. ‘So, this is where she lives, who knows Adam, you might get lucky today, she is two years younger than you’ Remi said. Zac and Lydia laughed whilst Adam blushed. They took the elevator, well, would’ve if it wasn’t busted, so they began their lengthy walk up to the 30th floor. ‘They need that fudging elevator fixed, so we don’t break anything going up and down’ Lyds complained. They took a 5 minute breather to get back energy and such before confronting the possible girl of Adams and Tuxedos dreams. Zac knocks politely and they wait until a teenage girl with long black hair greats them. ‘Can I help you?’ she asked. Lydia pushes Zac forward. ‘Erm, yes, we have come on behalf of your father, there is something we need to discuss with you, soooo….may we come in?’ The girl gave them a funny look. ‘My father is dead, why do you think I live alone? No one can vanish off the face of the earth.’ ‘You’d be surprised’ Remi said. ‘Wait, you’re serious aren’t you. Well, those damned nuns taught us to be nice and accept information, better see what you got’ she said and walked in, the quadrio following behind.

Inside, they were a little put off by how gloomy the place was. A large and evil cross hung on the wall. Zac noticed a small case on a stand. ‘A violin?’ he asked. ‘Yeah’ Rowena said. ‘So, what do you have to tell me?’ ‘Well, Rowena-’ ‘Call me Rowie’ she cut in. ‘Right, Rowie, well, where to begin, well, to put things bluntly, your father is an evil daemon bent on taking over the world for his demented daemon master’ Zac said. Lydia sighed. Rowie chuckled at this. ‘My mother had told the nurse that he was a daemon in bed and- Wait, you’re serious? That’s impossible, daemons DON’T exist’ she stated. ‘Okay, this is the best way to explain. I, am Fire Fox and Blizzared Bear. Me and my friends fight your father and his lord the Supreme King who reigns over a f’ed up world’ Zac said. Rowena seemed shocked for a bit, then compsed. ‘You’re serious, aren’t you? Well then, how do we bait him out?’ ‘I’ve already thought of that’ Remi said.

Tuxedo had gotten back to his chambers after teaching the apprentice alchemists on how to make light explosives. Two had vaporised themselves and the other two had trasfigured themselves into something not woth mentioning. He had begun organising the papers on his desk when a small envelop fell out of a few pages. Tuxedo carefully opened it up. Inside, there was a piece of paper that said ‘I SURRENDER’. Underneath was marked ‘FF’, a time of 8 pm and the location. ‘Fire Fox’ he said, and crunched the paper. He left immediately. After gathering a small unit of forces and waiting for 2 hours and 28 minutes, he prepared to open a small portal. ‘Okay, I will leave alone, but any sign of danger, come and assist, got it?’ he asked. The armoured creatures nodded.

He opened up into the alleyway where Zac and his friends were standing. ‘So, Fire Fox, you and your accomplices have finally decided to bow to the will of the Supreme King. You will however, be tried for treason and executed, but, why wait?’ he said and drew his blade. ‘Daddy?’ a voice behind him asked. He immediately turned around…

Looking before him, was a girl in a sleeveless shirt, and long pants. ‘Rowena?’ he asked, dropping his blade. The girl ran up to him, he expected a hug, but was sorely mistaken when she king hit him to the ground. ‘WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! RUNNING OFF ON MUM LIKE THAT! SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF PAIN AND MISERY YOU CAUSED US! AND……AND….I love you’ she screamed, breaking down. Tuxedo got up and picked up his hat, which he put on. He walked over to the crying girl and immediately hugged her. ‘I wouldn’t have left her if I could have. Unfortunatly, my lord’s word is law, and I cannot disobey, I’m sorry Rowena’ he said, crying lightly. He looked over her shoulder to see his enemoes smiling. ‘Why did you do this?’ he asked. Zac smiled at him. ‘Even evil has a chance for happiness’ Zac said. Tuxedo didn’t say anything, but hugged his daughter. ‘Let’s go Zac, I think they want to be alone’ Lydia said.

Nearby, amateur reporter Tani Rhodes was filming this scene. ‘So, Fire Fox’s name is Zac. I’d best investigate this’ she said. She immediately began to run off but an ill timed look-back left her oblivious to the pole in front of her. She looked in front and was immediately knocked out. A few minutes later, she came to. ‘Why am I here? I feel like I found out something important, but I’ve forgotten’ she mumbled, and walked home.

Tuxedo and Rowena, after crying, began to settle business. ‘Okay, now, I cannot stay in the human world, my lord forbids it, so, how would feel about staying with me in the Nega Universe. This’ll mean you’ll have to leave your human life behind, all your friends, your work. Are you willing to give this up?’ he asked her. A dark glint flickered in her eye. ‘Why the hell not?’ she said. Tuxedo chuckled. ‘You have your mothers beauty, and my arrogance and power, I’m so proud’ he said. ‘Also, call me Rowie’ she said as the walked through the portal.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ep 15][U]Ep 15: Parryoke – Singles Concert[/U]

The gang had had a very slow week. Tuxedo hadn’t attacked and criminals were too afraid to commit crimes. Being incinerated does that to people of course. They decided to try and train in the PS2 again. ‘Still not used to that’ Adam said as they exited the portal. ‘Hey guys, I’m still having problems trying to design an Elysium for the Blizzard Bear, any thoughts?’ ‘Hmm, what about Ice Storm Elysium, where you launch large icicles at the foe’ Adam said. ‘Or Winter Blast Elysium, where you freeze your foes and then smash them into a million pieces’ Lydia said. ‘Nice, but I don’t think that they would make epic ultimate attacks’ Zac said. ‘Well, why not Frozen Seranas Elysium? Which involves freezing the area and then launching large blasts of frost to strike your foe, and then freezing everything and then exploding the ice’ Remi said. ‘That’s just using both ideas Rems’ Lyds said. ‘Also, I wanna try combining the Fire and Ice Dizasters, since I haven’t had the opportunity yet’. They all moved away as Zac held both cards in his hands. ‘Dizaster 10 – Frozen Flame!’ he called out.

*Cue Anime Transformation*

Zac stands alone in darkness, when suddenly both cards explode into frost and flame. They encircle Zac’s hands as FF’s clawed gloves cover his hands. The particles encapsulate his feet as they become a pair of furred boots, whilst they move up, generating the familiar leather armour. Both particles rest on his shoulders as they explode into arm guards, the left being a fox head, and the other being a polar bear head. Zac’s hair becomes medium length with an orange tinge and white tail. The white particles surround him as he bulks out to a ‘suitable’ size. An ‘I’ and an ‘II’ circle around him, he does some fighting movements and finishes as the ‘I’ and ‘II’ crash and become ‘X’.

*End Transformation Sequence*

Zac admired his third new form. ‘So the Dizasters mesh together to create a hybrid outfit, because I recognize these claws as Fire Fox’s, the general size as Blizzard Bears, but what is with the armguards?’ Zac stated. ‘Well, that’s also the BB style Zac and-Wha? Someone is knocking on your apartment door, rather loudly, Dizaster out and deal with them’ Remi instructed. Zac immediately did that and soon they were all standing in the apartment again. ‘Coming’ Zac called and opened the door to a pretty woman with shoulder length brown hair. ‘Elsinki?’ Zac asked.

She immediately threw herself at Zac. ‘Nice to see you remember me bro’ she said. Lydia got up and moved over to them. ‘Hey El’ she said, hugging her old friend. ‘So, whatcha been up to Zaccy, haven’t been getting up to no good I hope and….Who are these?’ she asked, pointing at Adam and Remi. ‘Oh, of course, El, these are some new friends of mine, Adam and Remi. Remi works with me at the deli and Adam works down at that nearby video store’ Zac explained. ‘Ah, oh yes, I forgot to mention, the reason I came down, besides for missing you is this’ Elle said, holding up a flyer. ‘Battle of the bands karaoke battle, rock on to the beat of your drum, sing to your hearts content and race to be crowned town champ’ Zac read woodenly. ‘Yeah, I was thinking we could do it’ Elle said. ‘That’s great Elle, but I doubt any of us actually play instruments’ Adam said. ‘Actually, I used to play the piano’ Zac said. ‘I used to practice the guitar’ Lydia added. ‘Violin and other instruments’ Remi said. ‘Guitar as well, not to mention brilliant singing’ Elle said. All four of them looked at Adam, who squirmed a bit. ‘Well, I used to play the drums’ he said sheepishly. ‘Then it’s decided, we’re going to play, what’s the prize?’ Zac asked. ‘Well, the first prize is an ancient rhino tarot card, which could sell for a fortune. The second prize is a year’s supply of ice-cream, third is a new guitar, and the rest get a one-way ticket to loserville’ Elle explained. No one else noticed, but Remi immediately paled. ‘I need to use the bathroom, scuse me’ she said, getting up and slamming the bathroom door. ‘Not good, not good not good not good not good’ Remi muttered. ‘What is it?’ Lyds asked. ‘That ‘tarot card’ is a Dizaster; the only rhino card I know is Dizaster 5 – Terras Rhino’ Remi explained. ‘Shit, we’ll have to win, and most likely beat everyone else’ Zac said. ‘That’s the spirit bro’ Elle said, ‘And I’ve already picked out a name’. ‘If it’s sugar pies, I’ll shoot you’ Zac said. ‘Then what do you suggest?’ Everyone paused for a moment to think until Adam snapped his fingers. ‘NATURAL DIZASTER!’ he shouted. ‘Natural Dizaster?’ Elle asked. ‘It’s perfect, Natural Dizaster, let’s see, there’s: Wild Fire, Typhoon, Earthquake, Tsunami and Storm’ Lydia said. ‘I call Wild Fire’ Zac said. ‘Earthquake’ Adam bagsed. ‘Tsunami’ Remi called. ‘Typhoon’ Lydia said. ‘And I’ll be Storm’ Elle finished. ‘Sweet, now we need outfits’ Lydia said. Zac, Adam and Remi groaned.

After a week of planning, they were ready. Zac’s outfit consisted of a long sleeved, loose fitting white top and pants combo, which had fire emblazed on his chest and sleeves. Adam’s outfit was like Zac’s, except that his sleeves were much shorter and he had brown on his pant legs and chest. Remi looked smart in his short pants and shirt, which had a tidal wave painted to his chest and wave patterns on his pant legs and shirt sleeves. Lydia was wearing a long sleeves shirt, with low rider pants to show off her belly, she had a grey wind pattern on her pant legs and shirt sleeves. This semi-retarded ensemble was finished with Elle, whose outfit was like Lydia’s, but she had lightning bolts on her chest. ‘We’re ready guys’ Elle said, ‘Also, instruments are supplied down there, so we don’t out own, not as if we HAD any to begin with though’. ‘Aye’ the others called, piling out into the taxi.

They didn’t expect the place where they were performing to be a concert hall, not to mention so many people coming round to see it. Zac noticed a particular reporter scurrying about. ‘Oh Zac, didn’t expect you to be here’ she said. ‘You know my sister Tani, once she has an idea, none can stop her. So you’re reporting this event?’ he asked her. ‘Yeah, this is a small project, what I’m really working on is a big project, you see my boss, has given me the task of discovering the identity of the heroes that are in this town, you know, Fire Fox and Blizzard Bear’ Tani explained. ‘R-Really?’ Zac stuttered. ‘Yeah. Oh, you’d best get going, looks they’re calling the bands up, good look, I’m rooting for you Zac’ she called as they walked away. ‘Was that Tani, from across the hall?’ Lyds asked. ‘Yeah’.

They found that the changing room was incredibly spacious. ‘Wow’ Adam said, but then caught eyes with the person he’d least expect to see, Rowena. ‘Err, Zac, Rowena is here, that would mean Tux is as well’ Adam warned. No sooner then he had said that when Tuxedo, without his normal outfit but an eerie costume with small steel wings appeared from behind a dresser. Zac and Tux glared at each other so intently, a wig burst into flames, unfortunately, someone was wearing at the time, causing one team to unfortunately be knocked out before the battle even began.

‘That was unfortunate to what happened to the Shitty Beetles’ Zac said. ‘Yeah, but easy come easy go, we’re up 3rd, after Tux’s band.’ Elle said. The 1st team went up with some random song I don’t give a flying f**k about, and then Tuxedo’s band, called ‘Daemonick’ prepared themselves. ‘This should be good’ Adam said as Tuxedo got to the microphone. ‘And now everyone, singing to us now is the five-piece band DAEMONICK! Take it away’ the MC called. Tuxedo nodded and Rowena prepared her violin. The other three, who’re most likely daemons, prepared a drum, a guitar; a female it would appear prepared a tambourine. Rowena began to play an eerie tune whilst the other daemon gently strummed its guitar. Tuxedo brought the microphone to his lips.

‘When the devil is to busy, and deaths a bit too much, they call on me by name you see, for my special touch. To the gentleman I’m Miss Fortune, to the ladies I’m Sir Prize. But call on me by any name, any way it’s all the same’ Tuxedo called. Zac noticeably shivered. ‘His music is enchanted, the feeling the song gives becomes real’ Remi said. ‘I’m the fly in your soup, I’m the pebble in your shoe, I’m the pea beneath your bed, I’m the bump on every head. I’m the peel on which you slip, I’m a pin in every hip, I’m the thorn in your side, makes you wriggle and writhe. And it’s so easy when you’re evil, this is the life you see, the devil tips his hat to me. I do it all because I’m evil. And I do it all for free; your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need’ Tuxedo sang on, visibly loving the discomfort the crowd was going through during the musical part. ‘While there's children to make sad, while there's candy to be had, while there's pockets left to pick. While there's grannies to trip down the stairs, I'll be there, I'll be waiting round the corner, it's a game. I'm glad I'm in it cause there's one born every minute. And it's so easy when you're evil, this is the life, you see, the Devil tips his hat to me, I do it all because I'm evil, and I do it all for free. Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.’ ‘I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark, and I promise on my damned soul, to do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub, has never seen a soldier quite like me, not only does his job, but does it happily. I'm the fear that keeps you awake, I'm the shadows on the wall, I'm the monsters they become, I'm the nightmare in your skull. I'm a dagger in your back, an extra turn on the rack; I'm the quivering of your heart, a stabbing pain, a sudden start. And it's so easy when you're evil, this is the life, you see the Devil tips his hat to me. I do it all because I'm evil, and I do it all for free, your tears are all the pay I'll ever need. And I do it all for free; your tears are all the pay I'll ever need. And I do it all for free; your tears are all the pay I'll ever need’ Tuxedo sang on. ‘It gets so lonely being evil, what I'd do to see a smile, even for a little while. And no one loves you when you're evil’ Tuxedo said, looking sad, covering his face with his empty hand, he quickly parts to show himself smiling. ‘I’m lying through my teeth! Your tears are all the company I need’ he finished. Daemonick bowed as the crowd cheered wildly. Zac’s, Lydia’s, Adam’s, Remi’s and Elle’s jaw hung wide low. ‘That was f**king fantastic’ Lydia said gob smacked. Zac shook himself out of his stupor. ‘We can do better than that guys’ he said, snapping them all out as well.

‘That spectacular display earned Daemonick a 10/10 and an instant pass, now, next up is NATURAL DIZASTER! Give them a hand everyone’ the MC shouted. Zac and his crew got up onto the stage and got ready. Zac got to the keyboard, Remi to a guitar, Elle to the other one and Adam on the drums. Lydia grabbed the microphone and looked at the expanse of people. She sweated a little and looked at Zac, who smiled; she did and prepared to sing. Zac, Adam, Remi and Elle began to play the intro peace. Lydia breathed in and out and prepared to sing.

‘Six o'clock already and I was just in the middle of a dream. I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream. But I can't be late cause then I guess I just won't get paid. These are the days when you wish your bed was already made. It's just another manic Monday’ Lydia sang confidently, the crowd was cheering, this perked her a little. ‘Oh no-oo. I wish it were Sunday, cause that's my funday. And I don't have to runday. It's just another manic Monday. Have to catch an early train got to be to work by nine. And if I had an air-o-plane I still couldn't make it on time. Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear. Blame it on the train but the boss is already there. It's just another manic Monday. Oh no-oo. I wish it were Sunday, cause that's my funday. And I don't have to runday. It's just another manic Monday’ Lydia sang on, all 5 of them really feeling the motion. ‘All of my nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down. Last night, last night. Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us, employments down. He tells me in his bedroom voice, c'mon honey, let's go make some noise. Time it goes so fast, when you're having fun. It's just another manic Monday. Oh no-oo. I wish it were Sunday, cause that's my funday. And I don't have to runday. It's just another manic Monday. Oh no-oo. I wish it were Sunday, cause that's my funday. And I don't have to runday. It's just another manic Monday’ Lydia sang and ended. The quintet bowed and moved off stage as the crowd went nuts cheering. ‘That was awesome Lyds, I knew you had it in ya’ Zac said. Lydia merely smiled and fainted.

After the other 2 bands played, the bonus round began, the goal, the best band to do the ‘Hare hare yukai’. ‘Lyds has got this in the bag, she is a proud member of Haruism’ Zac said, ‘And Elle can remember any dance after seeing it once. But, we need one more to fill in Yuki, who?’ Zac asked. They all thought and suddenly an idea hit them. They all looked at Adam. ‘What?’ he asked. They smiled evilly.

About 5 minutes later, Adam was dressed in a high school girl uniform and looked rather good for a tranny. ‘I hate you guys’ he said to Zac and Remi, who smiled. They closely watched the tapped version of the English hare hare. ‘Okay, Lydia and I will sing the song, and Adam will look good’ Elle said. ‘Ready, let’s do it!’ Zac yelled. They all got onto the stage and the music began to play. Elle was in the middle and began to dance. With Lydia and Adam following. ‘I want to be the only one who can solve the mysteries that take control of our lives. With my friends beside we will go anywhere in this world’ she sang. Lydia pitched in, ‘For ever for all the time, boooooon, all the dreams that will warp and loop inside my mind. With my well-rounded heart I imagine someday that it might…Ab-sorb-us-all!’ Lyds sang. Zac and Remi hopped into the zone as well as Lydia, Elle and Adam began to see. ‘I still remember that sunny day, magical games that we used to play! Pours out endlessly(?), couldn’t possibly, take these memories from me. I’ll see you tomorrow, then you can say(?) We’re laughing and humming all of the way, gather happiness, using togetherness. You’ll find it in your heart if you can really try. Gotta learn to chase it (Gotta learn to chase it). Gotta learn to grasp it Well dreaming, so dream, so dream
Suki deshou?’ They all sang, finsihing the dance with a cheer. They moved off stage so Adam could go and find his dignity. ‘After that round, the surviving teams arrrrrrreeeeeeeee……………..Daemonick, Natural Dizaster, Deux Ex Machina and Alotta Fagina’ The MC called. ‘See you all for the next round’ he shouted.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ep 16][U]Ep 16: Parryoke – Duets of Despair[/U]

It had been 5 days since their last performance, and Natural Dizaster had still not come up with a good song. ‘Come on guys, how hard is it to come up with a good duet. We NEED to defeat Daemonick. Don’t you listen to music?’ Elle asks. ‘Cool your jets sis, it’s not as we aren’t trying, you’re just not letting us try. After all, you have shot down pretty much every idea we’ve come up with’ Zac tells her. The group had been coiled around the coffee table, trying to think up a bloody good song. Lydia suddenly clicks her fingers and whispers something into Zac’s ear. He looks at her. ‘I hate you so much, but it’s the best we got’ he tells her. He then turns to the group and snaps them to attention. ‘Okay, here is what we’re gonna do…’

For the next two days, they practiced the song again and again, and again and again and again. And again and- WE GET IT ALREADY! Once they could ably do the song, the most important question came to mind. ‘So, who is going to sing the song’ Remi asks. Everyone looks sheepish, except for Lydia, who looks stern. ‘Zac and I will’ she states. Zac goes to stop her but Elle claps her hands. ‘Perfect’. Zac whimpers softly. Beeping is heard from outside, everyone dramatically looks around. ‘The taxi’s here, and stop that’ Elle said, looking at everyone, because they were like, frozen, and stuff. They immediately unfreeze and walk out to the cab. ‘You better have a good singing voice’ Remi whispers to Zac.

When they got to the hall, Remi left to go find what time they play whilst the others got ready. Remi returned after they got settled. ‘Okay, we’re second, after Deux Ex Machina. Also, it appears Alotta Fagina is also out for some reason, something about food poisoning, so this is the second last round, we better make it good’ he explains. Nobody else noticed that Zac was looking extremely pale.

After Deux had finished their song, Zac and co immediately got onto stage. ‘You ready?’ Lydia asks Zac. He nods lamely. A small microphone on a stand was placed next to him, as he was playing the keyboard. Everyone begins to play their instruments to the opening, Zac begins to sing. ‘In a dream I can see, you are not far away. Any time, any place I can see your face. You’re that special one, That I've been waitin for. And I hope you're lookin' for someone like me’ he sings. Lydia ativates her microphone. ‘In my dreams, I can hear you call on me. In the night, everything's so sweet. In your eyes, I feel, there's so much inside’ she sings. She walks over to Zac as they begin to sing together. ‘In the nights, dream delight, I want to see you standing there. In the nights, dream delight, I've found someone who really cares. In the nights, dream delight, I want to see you smile again. In the nights, dream delight, you're the one I've waited for.’ Zac turns his mike off as Lydia sings. She notices he is enjoying himself. ‘In a dream we can do, everything we want to. There's nowhere I'd rather be but here with you. The stars above light the way, only for you and I. I'm so glad I've found the one I've been lookin' for’. Lydia turns his mike on, he sees that Lydia is crying. ‘Keep the dream of the one you're hoping for, love can come through an open door. Just be strong and you're sure to find the one, the one the one the one.’ ‘In the nights, dream delight, I want to see you standing there. In the nights, dream delight, I've found someone who really cares. In the nights, dream delight, I want to see you smile again. In the nights, dream delight, you're the one I've waited for’ they sang together.’ The music of continues to play as the leyboard seems to enchant itself, playing itself as Zac gets up. They look into each others eyes. ‘Woo-ooo-ooo’ they vocalise. ‘In the nights, in the nights. Dream delight, delight. I want to see you standing there. See you standing there’. ‘In the nights, in the nights. Dream delight, delight. I’ve found someone who really cares there. See you standing there. Woo-ooo-ooo’. ‘In the nights, in the nights. Dream delight, delight. I want to see you smile again. Hey yeah-ah’. ‘In the nights, in the nights. Dream delight, delight. You’re the one I’ve waited for. The one the one hoa-ah. In the night, yeah baby, delight. You and me. We could be. Together forever. In the night, baby. Baby. Baby. Oh-wow. Yeah-yeah. In the night, yeah-ah. Delight, yeah-ah. I’ve found someone. I’ve found my love in the night in that dream with you girl. Delight. You are the one I’ve waigted for. I dream I dream I dream I dream and you know. Yeah-yeah. Woo-ooo, yeah-yeah.’ They sing together until the music slowly dies. They hadn’t realised it til later, but Zac and Lydia had begun to dance as their natural magic seemed to control the stage.

‘WE DID WHAT!?’ Zac shouts. ‘You danced, not to mention that, in the spirit of song, Lydia’s magic was set free. It began to play the keyboard. I’m just glad you guys didn’t dance on air’ Remi tells them, painfully aware that Elle wasn’t listening. ‘Hey guys, Daemonick is on, and the bastards are doing that song from Dirty Dancing, I’ve had the time of my life’ she tells them.

On stage, Rowena was dancing with one of the daemons Tuxedo brought with them. ‘Now I've had the time of my life, no I never felt like this before. Yes I swear it's the truth, and I owe it all to you’ he sings in a baritone voice. Rowena winks cheekily as she begins her part. ‘Cause I've had the time of my life, and I owe it all to you’. The other daemon continues to sing. ‘I've been waiting for so long. Now I've finally found someone
to stand by me’. ‘We saw the writing on the wall, so we felt this magical fantasy’ Rowena sings, building to the duet. ‘Now with passion in our eyes, there's no way we could disguise it secretly. So we take each other's hand, cause we seem to understand the urgency’. ‘Just remember’. ‘You're the one thing’. ‘I can't get enough of’. ‘So I'll tell you something’. ‘This could be love because: I've had the time of my life, no I never felt this way before. Yes, I swear it's the truth. And I owe it all to you, cause I've had the time of my life. And I've searched through every open door, til I found the truth. And I owe it all to you’ they sang together, doing some moves from the movie. ‘With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know’. ‘So we'll just let it go, don't be afraid to lose control’. ‘Yes I know what’s on your mind, when you say: ‘Stay with me tonight’. ‘Just remember, you're the one thing’. ‘I can’t get enough of’. ‘so I’ll tell you something’. ‘This could be love because: I've had the time of my life, no I never felt this way before. Yes, I swear it's the truth. And I owe it all to you, cause I've had the time of my life. And I've searched through every open door, til I found the truth. And I owe it all to you’ they continued to sing. Rowie slyly lobbed a wink at Adam, who was bowled over. The duo continue to dance as a quick instrumental was played. ‘Now I've had the time of my life, no I never felt this way before’. ‘Never felt this way’. ‘Yes I swear it's the truth, and I owe it all to you’. ‘'Cause I had the time of my life, and I've searched through every open door, till I've found the truth. And I owe it all to you. Cause I've had the time of my life, no I've never felt this way before. Yes I swear it's the truth, And I owe it all to you’ they sang, slowly ending the tune. Elle slowly mutters to herself ‘Those BASTARDS’. Zac, Lydia, Remi and Adam however were even clapping for them.

Zac had sent Elle outside for a cool-down. ‘I think we’ve passed on into the final round, but, damn, I didn’t think they could sing that well’ Lydia complains. ‘He must be one of the succubi daemons’ Remi mutters to himself. ‘Oh yeah, so what’s the deal with us needing to sing another song Rems?’ Zac asks. ‘We tied with Deux Ex Machina. I talked to the judges, and the theme: ‘The Morning’ was given to us.’ he tells them. ‘Morning eh?’ Adam says. ‘I got it’ he continues.

‘Are you sure you wanna do this?’ Zac asks Adam as he gets up. ‘Yep, now, you got the lyrics?’ Adam replies. ‘Yeah, you better sing good Adam’ Zac says, grabbing a pair of maracas. Natural Dizaster prepares on stage. Lydia at drums, Elle on guitar, Zac with maracas and Remi on a violin. Adam calmly prepares to sing. ‘What a beautiful morning, the best in life is free. Mmm, what a beautiful morning. Believe me. What a mystery, though the world's on fire, yesterday's hard words is still in my head. I feel no despair, nor regrets or sorrows, cause this new day makes me dance on air. What a golden day’ Adam sings, ignoring some of the funny looks from the crowd, but accepting the looks from some of the crowd’s girls, who were crying. ‘What a beautiful morning in my life. The best in life is free. I give it all away, and I wonder what more is to come. And this beautiful morning changed my mind. Believe me when I say the shadows fading out. As the day grows bright, we are turning pages, And we write new chapters of our life. Some are strong and long. Others weak with sorrows. Keep the focus on the rising sun. What a golden day’ Adam continues, with everyone in the audience enjoying the ambience. Small specks of energy seemed to leak from Adam, as his power empowers the song. ‘What a beautiful morning in my life. The best in life is free, free. I give it all away, all away, and I wonder what more is to come. And this beautiful morning changed my mind, changed my mind. Believe me when I say, say, the shadows fading out, shadows fading out. Oh, yeah. Believe me - crows will always fly. Believe me – they are only birds. You have to, you have to let go and you will see things in a different light. What a beautiful morning. Mmm, what a beautiful morning. Ooh, ooh, believe me. Oh what a beautiful, what a beautiful morning. A beautiful morning. A beautiful day. Our troubles away. What a morning. It’s a beautiful morning. A beautiful morning. A beautiful day. Our troubles away. Believe, believe me. Believe me. What a beautiful morning, yeah. A beautiful morning. The best in life is free. A beautiful day. I give it all away. Our troubles away. What a morning. A beautiful morning. A beautiful morning. Beautiful morning. A beautiful day. Oh, yeah. Our troubles away. Oh, yeah. Believe me. Believe me’ Adam finished, to massive cheering. He then notices a love-struck look on Rowena in the crowd. He lobs a kiss at her and she gets knocked down. Everyone crowded around Adam as he got of stage, they were applauding loudly. The others dragged him away back to the dressing room.

‘That was epic Adam, I didn’t know you had it in ya’ Lydia tells him. ‘You don’t know a lot about me’ he tells her. ‘We’re sure to win now’ Elle says happily. On a small monitor, the judging was being screened. The MC appears on screen. ‘And the winners going on to the final round are……………..NATURAL DIZASTER AND DAEMONICK!’ he shouts. To put it bluntly, the group celebrated wildly. ‘Now, be sure to tune in for the final round’ the MC shouts.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ep 17][U]Ep 17: Parryoke – The Final Countdown[/U]

It was the day of the final performance and Zac was crapping himself from the tension. ‘This is it, we have to win today, otherwise; we’ll loss this Dizaster’ he said to Remi. Natural Dizaster had been practicing hard for their final performance. Really, the only thing that changed was that Elle became a bigger bitch due to the tension. ‘Okay, we have a short while to go, so don’t screw this up guys. We’ve practiced hard for this past three weeks, so let’s not let it got to waste’ she stated to her band. Adam was napping as he was exhausted, Remi could barely keep his head up, Zac was sitting quietly and Lydia was still fresh as a daisy. A honking is heard from below. ‘Let’s go gang’ Zac said, picking himself up from the couch. ‘Look at it this way. Once this is over, we can get back to work’ Remi whispered into Zac’s ear. He smiled at this thought.

The group got down to the concert hall for the final time. On the way to the change room, Zac spotted Tani again. He walks over to her and she looks at him. ‘Oh Zac, I’ve watched both your performances, I must say, there’s only one word for them: magical. I felt an incredible energy during that last performance when you did Dreams Dreams. It looked as if you and Lydia were about to literally fly away’ She said. ‘Yeah, but what about Daemonick? They’re rocking as well’ Zac asked. ‘Yeah, you’re right about that. I don’t know, but they’re really good. I can’t wait for this round’ she said excitedly. ‘Good luck with your story Tani’ Zac said as he ran off to the change room.

Once they were prepared, everyone was trying to calm themselves down. Adam was breathing into a bag, Remi was meditating and Zac was eating a chocolate bar. ‘Okay guys, this is it. We’re second after Daemonick so we can upstage them’ Elle said. Everyone weakly nodded at this. Lydia looked peeved by this though. ‘Come on, buck up boys, and show some enthusiasm. This has been the best fun we’ve had in ages; we can’t let nervousness control us’ she said with unusual passion. I don’t know how, but these words seemed to perk up the guys. ‘Okay, let’s do this’ Zac said with his new passion. They all suddenly look at the monitor to see Daemonick was about to start.

On stage, Tuxedo had naught but a single sweat drop on his face. He nodded to the band. They all prepared their instruments. (Oh yeah, due to everyone singing, I’ll be doing this part in script form, this goes for ND as well. Also, the daemons have no given names, thus, they’ll be daemon 1, daemon 2 and daemon 3 respectively. Also, D3 is the female).

The audience clapped insanely at this dark performance. Zac merely glared at the monitor. ‘We can one-up them’ he says, getting up. The others nodded and followed him to the stage. Zac slowly began to breathe as he began to start talking. ‘Twas a long time ago, longer now then it seems, in a place that perhaps you’ve seen in your dreams. For this song you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you’ve probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven’t, I’d say it’s time you begun’ he said to the crowd. All of them began to play the intro song.
Z: Boys and girls of every age.
R: Wouldn’t you like to see something strange?
L&E: Come with us and you will see, this our town of Halloween.
All: This is Halloween, this is Halloween. Pumpkins scream in the dead of night. This is Halloween, everybody make a scene. Trick or treat till the neighbours die of fright.
A: It’s our town, everybody scream, in this town of Halloween…
R: I am the one hiding under your bed; teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red.
Z: I am the one hiding your stairs with fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair.
All: This is Halloween, this Halloween. Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.
E&L: In this town, we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song.
R: In this town, don’t we love it now? Everybody’s waiting for the next surprise.
All: Round that corner man, hiding in the trash-can. Something’s waiting now and how you’ll-
R: SCREAM!
Z: This Halloween.
R: Red and black.
A: And slimy green.
Z: Aren’t you scared?
E&L: Well that’s just fine. Say it once, say it twice. Take a chance and roll the dice. Ride with the moon in the dead of night.

A: In this town, don’t we love it now? Everyone’s waiting for the next surprise.

Z: Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch, everyone hail to the pumpkin king now!
All: This is Halloween, this Halloween. Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.
A&Z: In this town, we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song.
All: LA LA LA LA LA! Halloween Halloween. LA LA LA LA LA! Halloween Halloween. LA LA LALALA WHEE!

The audience clapped as insanely before, with Natural Dizaster taking a grateful bow. They immediately got off the stage to their change room. They barely had the strength to look at the monitor to see the results. The MC was on screen, wearing an outfit that made him look as if he shops at Elton John’s garage sale. ‘AAAAAAAAAAAANNNND NOW! We have the results, ANNNNNDDDDDDD. Oh, it appears that Natural Dizaster and Daemonick have tied, so we get to hear another round of songs from out fated bands, how exciting’ he said and got off. That small announcement made an effective impact. Adam began to cry, Remi fainted, Zac foamed at the mouth and Lydia and Elle had twinkles in their eyes. ‘Good thing we practiced an extra song’ Elle said happily. They saw that Daemonick had already gotten onto stage again.

Tuxedo was actually smiling as he prepared for this song. The opening began to play out.
T: Picture yourself on a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
R: Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, and she's gone.
All: Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah... Ah...
D1: Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain, where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers that grow so incredibly high.
D2: Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, and you're gone.
All: Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah... Ah...
D3: Picture yourself on a train in a station, with plasaticine porters with looking glass ties. Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
All: Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah... Ah... Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah... Ah... Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah... Ah...

They sang on until the very end. Zac could almost feel his strength sapped. He slowly looks at Lydia, who was brimming with energy. She locks eyes with Zac and magically he became energized once more. ‘Wow, whatever keeps her energized I want it, even if it’s only a drop I want it.’ They all get up and prepare for their final performance….hopefully.

They get on stage and begin the very rapid opening scene.
L: We are what we’re supposed to be, illusions of your fantasy. All dots and lines that speak and say-
All: what we do is what you wish to do.
Z: We are the colour symphony, we do the things you wanna see. Frame by frame, to the extreme.
E: Our friends are so unreasonable, they do the unpredictable. All dots lines that speak and say-
All: What we do is what you wish to do
R: It's all an orchestra of strings, doin' unbelievable things. Frame by frame, to the extreme. One by one, we're makin' it fun.
All: We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh. We are the ones who're gonna last forever. We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh. And walked out on a piece of paper. Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian. Welcome to the toon town party. Here comes Superman, from never-neverland. Welcome to the toon town party.
E&L: We learned to run at speed of light. And to fall down from any height. It's true, but just remember that-
All: What we do is what you just can't do!
A: And all the worlds of craziness, a bunch of stars that's chasing us. Frame by frame, to the extreme. One by one, we're makin' it fun.
All: We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh. We are the ones who're gonna last forever. We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh. And walked out on a piece of paper. Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian. Welcome to the toon town party. Here comes Superman, from never-neverland. Welcome to the toon town party.
L&Z: You think we're so mysterious, don’t take us all too serious. Be original, and remember that- What we do is what you just can't do.
All: What we do is what you just can't do. What we do is what you just can't do. What we do is what you just can't do. What we do is what you just can't do. : We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh. We are the ones who're gonna last forever. We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh. And walked out on a piece of paper. There's still more to come, and everyone will be welcomed at the: toon – toon, town – town. Party!

The sheer energy generated from that song kept them all going for the entire song. They soon ended the song and bowed graciously. They all began to get off the stage to the change room when Tani intercepted Zac. ‘That was amazing Zac. The way you guys snag, it’s almost as if you truly were heroes’ she said excitedly. Zac nodded uncomfortably. ‘Well, in this game, Natural Dizaster are the heroes compared to the wicked Daemonick’ he said. ‘What?’ she asked, confused. But Zac was already gone.

They were all relaxing in the change room when the MC appeared on screen. ‘NOW WE CN ANNOUNCE OUR WINNERS, AS THE JUDGES HAVE TOLD US THAT THERE ARE NO MORE TIES. I would like to call up both bands to the stage’ he shouted. Both bands groaned as they got up out of their chairs.

They got to the stage where the MC, nay, the whole audience eagerly awaited. They all stood up on their respective sides. The MC buzzing happily. ‘Okay now, time to announce the winners’ he called. A girl in a one piece swimming suit got on stage to hand the MC a golden envelope, with many people in the crowd wolf-whistling. The MC eagerly opens the envelope and reads it. ‘WE HAVE OUR WINNERS! IT ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NATURAL DIZASTER!’ he screeched. Once they got their hearing back, Natural Dizaster celebrated wildly. ‘And now your prize, this ancient and one of a kind tarot card, plus this wonderful trophy’ the MC called. Zac went to accept the prizes, looking happily at Dizaster 5 – Terras Rhino. Tuxedo looks unhappily as he accepts the new guitar. Zac, Lydia, Remi, Adam and Elle slowly walk to the front of the stage and take a slow bow, with the audience cheering madly.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[The Warden]

*Sighs* No one appreciates my work

 

[spoiler=Eps 18-20][spoiler=Ep 18]Ep 18: Dizaster 9, The Musical

 

Tuxedo, infuriated at the loss of another Dizaster, stood at the top of the tallest building in the city. ‘So, you like to sing young dizaster, well then, I’ll make your life a musical, with the whole world your stage’ he said, generating a magical field over the town. He cackled wickedly as he vanished.

 

The sun was shining through his curtains as Zac woke up. He immediately leapt out of his bed as a bouncy theme tune played. ‘Good morning, good morning what a beautiful day. The sun shines and the birds do sing, quite lovely I must say’ he sang, then stopped. ‘What the- I’m singing, why do I sing? Ugh, horrible thoughts in my head ring’ he sang as the theme tune slowly died. ‘Huh, oh, I’m talking normally, maybe I should talk to Remi, he’s probably still snoozing on the couch’ Zac said, walking into the lounge room to find Remi gone. ‘What?! Who, where, how?’ he said. The TV slowly buzzed as Tuxedo appeared on the screen. He chuckled wickedly. ‘Tuxedo, what have you done with Remi?’ he questioned. ‘Shouldn’t you be asking what I’ve done with Lydia and Adam as well?’ he replied. Zac roared, ‘WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THEM?! ‘Me, nothing, but my minions might know. Why don’t you go see me at the town hall?’ Tuxedo said, ending the transmission. Zac immediately went to change and left his apartment.

 

When he got outside, he found horror had a new face. ‘The whole cities gone daemonick’ he said, looking at the twisting and darkened buildings. He spared no time in getting to the town hall, which looked more gruesome then ever. He looks inside carefully as the place suffered an extreme make-over. He walks in, expecting a trap, when, on the stage, darkness begins to collect as a shadow being begins to rise up into the form of Tuxedo. Its eyes and mouth glew green. ‘Zaaac’ it said. A jazz themed music began to play. Zac attempted to dizaster up, but it wasn’t working, which shocked him a little. Desperately, he looked around and saw a glowing purple mace on the wall (the ball and chain kind), of course he grabbed it. The shadow began to sing. ‘Well well well, Zac the Dizaster Nine. Finally made it huh? Ohh, I’ve been waiting. So how do you like my daemon town ah ha ha ha’ it sang as it and Zac began to fight. The creature released spheres of energy as it was struck with the mace. ‘It’s over, it’s over, what you’re doing is too far. It’s over, I’m serious, just who do you think you are?’ Zac sang, still striking the shadow. ‘Just because you’ve cursed my town, and always made me sing. Just because I always win doesn’t allow you to do this evil thing’ Zac sang, feeling the power the spheres were giving him. ‘That’s what you think, but, hey, this time you’re just plain wrong. And now it will be end, this’ll be the last time you hear my boogie song’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’ ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~ I’m the rocking daemon man’ it sang. Zac struck it again, absorbing enough spheres for him to glow, he began to dance. ‘I see you’re pretty proud of your dark and grisly schemes. But I do say you will rule my world, only in your dreams’ Zac remarked. ‘That’s funny Zac, because it only was a dream. But with my darkest spells it’s coming true. For even my darkness knows your days alive are through!’ the shadows remarked. The music continued to play, with Zac dancing like a professional. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~ I’m the Dizaster Nine’ Zac sang, launching spheres of pure energy at the shadow, defeating it. It wailed about a bit as it began to sink into the floor. ‘You got lucky, that’s all. We’ll meet each other again. And your girlfriend? She’s somewhere roomy, with my 8-legged friends, ah heh heh heh’ It cackled, vanishing. ‘Damn, he got away, now, the roomiest place would be the Sports Stadium, but, 8-legged friend, that’s worrying’ he said, going outside, but, before he did, he turned and looked where he fought the shadow. ‘Zac: 1, Tuxedo: nothing.’ He went outside and began to hail a cab. Only once he got into it did he realize it was a monster. ‘A schlcrable fhgid snhit? (Where too?)’ it asked. ‘The Sports Stadium’ Zac said, trying not to gag.

 

When he got there, Zac got out and asked for the fee. But the creature merely held up its hand and drove off. Zac ran inside the Stadium to find it was all darkened, the roof had been activated. ‘Zac!’ a voice called, piercing the dark. Zac looked around when a pillar of light appeared on the field, in it was Lydia. Zac began to run to her but she looked worried. ‘Zac, don’t come any closer’ she yelled. Zac stopped and saw a large webby wire streak down and catch Lydia, pulling her up to the roof. The entire Stadium brightened and on the roof, was a giant spider, with a red skull on its back. It leapt to the ground and roared at Zac, who glared. Lydia herself began to sing as more music began to play, whilst Zac began to fight the spider. ‘We should have learned to not believe, that things would always be alright’ she sang. ‘It’s true that Tuxedo is a douche, with his ego tis a match’ Zac sang, whipping the spider and releasing more spheres. ‘With new dangers at every turn’ Lydia sang. ‘And I will now begin, to set things right here’. The spider constantly rushed at Zac, but he smoothly dodged these attacks and continued to collect these spheres. ‘How can you say, that things will be okay, our luck doesn’t turn that way’ Lydia sang, Zac managed to knock the spider away as he began to glow and dance again. ‘What will become of our dear town? Have we left our poor world down?’ ‘You know Lydia that that’s not true, there’s nothing we can’t do; we’ll win this me and you’ Zac sang, showing the spider his moves. ‘But there’s so much danger we must face’. ‘And I’m not worried, to you I hurried’. ‘Now we must stop Tuxedo’s plan, and save our earthy land’ They sang together, with Zac launching an energy wave, blasting the spider away into many small ones, which in turn blew up, leaving a mini version of the spider behind. It looked up to see Zac smile as he stomped it. Zac looked up to see the thread shatter, and Lydia began to fall, but Zac caught her. ‘Zac, are you alright?’ she asked. ‘Yeah, I’m fine. Just some minor scratches, but, are YOU alright?’ he asked in return. ‘Yeah, but Remi, something’s wrong with him. He’s at the park, you must save him’ Lydia said. Zac nodded and began to leave. ‘Hide yourself, alright?’ he said to her. She nodded and left. Zac smiled. ‘Zac: 2, Tuxedo: nothing’. He caught another cab and prepared to face his friend.

 

Zac found it odd that the monsters didn’t want tips, but then questioned if they knew what it was. He began to run into the park when a large blast of energy came from the observation platform. Zac barely dodged it. He looked up and saw Remi smiling evilly from the platform. Zac raced there, dodging the energy bolts to see Remi looking off the platform, he turned to see he was wearing a life-like mask. ‘You’ve been busy Zac, and now, I think you should take a rest, a long rest’ he said, the mask moving eerily. Zac grimaced. ‘Never, I’m saving you Rems, now let’s begin’ Zac said. Remi raised his hands and several large blades began to circle him. The battle music began to play. ‘This world has changed Zac, since Tuxedo’s had his way. Without out Dizaster 9 it’s Tuxedo’s happy day’ Remi sang, launching the blades at Zac. ‘Remi please, can’t you see you’re wrong?’ Zac sang, dodging the blades. ‘You were our hero, but now you’re nothing but prey. Tuxedo’s rules and he’s planning to stay’. ‘This crazy web you’re weaving, Tuxedo’ll soon be leaving. Remi please, it’s not too late’ Zac sang desperately. ‘All my power will seal you’re fate’ Remi retorted. Zac launched the mace’s spiked ball at Remi’s face and tore off some of the mask. ‘My energy will slice, but blades will cut deep. When this is over, Lydia will then weep. The days off your heroism and valour are through. I’ll tear up this town, and I’ll start with you’ Remi sang, sending in combinations of energy blasts and blades, but Zac knocks them away. ‘Well me, boy it seems you’ve lost your crowd. In a few more minutes you’ll be six feet underground’. ‘Stop at once, can’t you see this is absurd?’ ‘No more games, your friends are now your foes. Soon this dance will be nearing it’s close’. ‘All these people that you’re hurting, oh dear Remi it’s disconcerting. Remi please, you’re thinking is all wrong’ Zac pleaded, absorbing spheres. ‘In a moment you’ll be gone. My blades are always spinning, my powers bolts large. When they come towards you, you’re not the one in charge. If you somehow survive these attacks, there’ll be plenty more, better watch your back’ Remi sang, his mask slowly cracking from the assaults, dropping plenty of spheres. Zac grabs one more and begins to glow. ‘You better watch your back Rems’ Zac sang dancing. ‘All these people that you’re hurting, oh good Remi it’s disconcerting, Remi please, you’re thinking is all wrong’. ‘In a moment you will finally be gone’. ‘You shot and attack me, they roll off my back. I’m not your enemy I’m the Dizaster 9 Zac. When this is all over, great friends we will be. Tuxedo’s no more, you can take that from me’ Zac sang, launching a sphere of energy that shatters the mask. Remi blinks slowly blinks as he realizes where he is. ‘Oh Zac, you did it. You destroyed the control mask’ he said. ‘I know, now where’s Tuxedo?’ Zac asked. ‘I don’t know, but the three dark ones would’ Remi answered. ‘Who and where are they?’ ‘It’s a daemon, Rowena and Adam. They’re at the skating rink’ Remi replied. ‘Thanks Rems, now, go hide; I don’t want to loss you again’. Remi nodded and ran off. Zac smiled. ‘Zac: 3, Tuxedo: nothing’. He grabbed another cab and prepared to fight an evil girl, a daemon, and Adam.

 

He wasted no time as he got to the rink to see them there messing about on the Skating Rink; they were all wearing masks as well. They had apparently cleared everyone out. They crashed into each other noticing Zac and grouped up after picking themselves off the floor. ‘It’s you three, where’s Tuxedo?’ Zac ordered. ‘We’re not telling, unless you beat us for a game, ready, it’s called prepare to die’ Adam cackled, in his bizarre skeleton costume. Music began to play as they surrounded him. ‘Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala. Hail to Lord Tuxedo, Zac will never win. When we beat you bad, you will be done in’ they sang together. ‘First we played our evil games with Rems, who lossed and with mask did send, to knock you off when you set things right’ Rowena sang. ‘Stop, this is enough from you, a punishment is overdue. You have caused chaos and strife, ending many a innocents life’ Zac sang, hitting them with the mace and gaining spheres. ‘Hail to Lord Tuxedo, put Zac to the test, keep him fighting all the time, never let him rest’ they sang together, attacking Zac all at once. ‘Then good Lord Tuxedo then-’ the daemon sang. ‘Took the whole world over then’ Rowena sang in key. ‘He was pleased I will declare’ Adam sang, launching small crackers at Zac. ‘The whole world did despair, wheeeeeeeee’ they sang. ‘Now that Tuxedo is our king, we can do most anything. You cannot defeat us for our pranks, hail to Tuxedo let’s give thanks’ the daemon continued to sing gleefully. ‘Don’t be stupid; think now for your hurtful games, when our world is back to normal, who do you think will get the blame?’ Zac sang, hitting Adam’s little mask. ‘Hail to Lord Tuxedo, this is so much fun, we cause danger day and night, our work is never done’. ‘I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you twice, straighten out your acts, you can’t get away for this and that you jerks is fact’. ‘Tuxedo’s pleased by our success’ the daemon sang. ‘That he’ll reward us well I bet’ Rowena sang. ‘I wonder what it’ll be?’ Adam sang. ‘We cannot wait to see’. Zac knocked them to the ground in one swing and he gathers enough spheres to glow, his dancing begins. ‘Now that Tuxedo is our king, we can do most anything. You cannot defeat us for our pranks, hail to Tuxedo, let’s give thanks’ the daemon sang. ‘Don’t be stupid; think now for your hurtful games, when our world is back to normal, who do you think will get the blame?’ Zac sang. ‘Hail to Lord Tuxedo, this is so much fun, we cause danger day and night, our work is never done’. ‘I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you twice, straighten out your acts, you can’t get away for this and that you jerks is fact. I’ve had enough of this disgrace, so tell me Tux’s hiding place. Where my home is turned around, and with normality gagged and BOUND!’ Zac sang, launching an energy wave to trip them all up. They crash together and their masks shatter. Rowena and the daemon are knocked out but Adam gets up. ‘Thanks Zac, now hurry, Tuxedo is at the trash dump’ Adam said. Zac nodded and left, but not with: ‘Zac: 4, Tuxedo: nothing’.

 

He quickly runs into the dumps to find a large and rather ugly machine. Producing a weird gas. ‘Beautiful isn’t it?’ a voice cuts in. Zac turns to see Tuxedo behind him. ‘It’s over Tux’ Zac said. ‘Not by a long shot’ he laughed, leaping over and into the machine. It slowly rises up, a large torso of a robot, with the bottom half missing, slowly music begins to play. ‘It’s payback time’ Tux says through a microphone. ‘Is that all you have to say?’ Zac counters. ‘Well well well, what a pest you are. Still around huh, oooh, can’t say I want that. SO why don’t you give up, ya know? SURRENDER!’ Tux sings. ‘It’s over, it’s over, your scheme was bound to fail. It’s over, your finished, this is the final tale’ Zac sang, launching several shots of energy at the mecha. ‘You mock me? You fight me? I don’t know which is worse, you defeat me huh? Heh, I’ll die laughing first’ Tuxedo sings, generating energy into a small shoulder mounted cannon. ‘What’s this a trick, I’m not impressed, you’re a bad that’s bound to fall, cause it’ll be by far more worthwhile to end you with my call’ Zac said, swapping into Blizzard Bear without realizing it and dodging the cannon. ‘Talk talk talk but I’ll tell you, your hopes are going nowhere. Now if I were you I’d take a hike, there’s danger in the air’ Tuxedo sang, launching junk at Zac. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~ I’M THE ONLY DIZASTER 9!’ Zac sang, launching large icicles at the mecha, destroying the cannon. ‘Planet Earth is MINE!’ Zac claims. ‘Well aren’t we confident’ Tuxedo replies. Zac immediately swaps into Fire Fox. ‘Well I’m really angry and there’s nothing much to do, I’ve fought your brain washed help, and now I’m after you’ Zac sings, launching fire balls at the mecha, dodging the attacks. ‘Even if you catch me, you could never do me in. My plan is in full swing which means I’m gonna win’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’. ‘Whoa. I’M THE ONLY DIZASTER 9!’ Zac sings again, incinerating parts of the mecha in a wave of fire. ‘This ends HERE!’ Zac snaps at Tux. ‘I’m laughing to death’ Tuxedo says smoothly. Zac immediately returns to normal. ‘It’s over, you’re finished, you’ll never get away. You the lord and king of Earth? That’ll be the day!’ Zac sings, taking off an arm with two waves of energy. ‘How feeble, how childish, is that the best you got? You think that you’re the hero Zac; well I think you are not. I’m the king of Earth’ Tuxedo states. ‘You’re king of NOTHING!’ Tuxedo growls as another shoulder mounted cannon appears to charge up. ‘Now it’s time for you to see, what it really means to flare, cause I’m a rockin daemon lord, so you know I won’t play fair. Things are always much more fun when lives are on the line. Not ours of course, but yours dear boy, now that’d be just fine’. Tuxedo’s attacks continue to be dodged by Zac. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~’. ‘Whoa’. ‘Whoa~ I’M THE ONLY DIZASTER 9!’ Zac shouts, finishing off the dreaded machines. It slowly begins to fall to pieces if front of Zac, but he couldn’t get away and was crushed by the machinery. He could only gag a ‘Zac: 5, Tuxedo: nothing’.

 

Zac quickly wakes with a fright; he’s in his own bed, in his own apartment. He quickly gets out and he finds he’s wearing the clothes he wore before. He walks into the lounge room to see Lydia, Remi and Adam looking worried. Lydia looks at him and gets up and hugs him. ‘Zac, thank god you’re okay’ she said, hugging him. ‘Shouldn’t I be asking that, I saved you from the giant spider, remember?’ ‘What spider Zac’ Adam asks. ‘The one in the daemonified arena. ‘I wasn’t in danger Zac, you were’ she said. ‘Huh?’ Lydia sighs and points to the TV.

 

‘And in further new, police are still looking for the crazed and apparently delirious assailant that was on the loss yesterday. It was said that he was singing strange songs, and fighting things that weren’t there. The assailant apparently broke in and destroyed part of the old town hall, interrupted a game at the sports arena, attacked a masked parade in a nearby park, assaulted 3 small but very naughty children and destroyed private property at the nearby trash dump…’. Zac looked afraid and slightly embarrassed. ‘F**k’ he said.

 

Tuxedo was sitting in his room, drinking a small glass of wine as he was watching that same news report in a viewing portal. ‘Zac: 5, Tuxedo: Infinity’ he said and chuckled.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 19]Ep 19: Toxic Hazzard

 

Zac still found it hard to live down what Tuxedo had done to him, he had been fretting all day until night, when dinner was the only thing to calm him down. ‘I still can’t believe I did that! But, really, it was an incredibly realistic hallucination, since I felt as if I really was holding you Lyds’ Zac said during dessert. ‘I know baby, that’s because I actually WAS there. I was sitting in the crowd watching you and trying to deny all knowledge. It was embarrassing to watch that, unfortunately, I couldn’t help you, save that it would have ruined me’ Lydia replied. ‘You stake your own rep before mine?’ ‘You got it, besides, no one got a good look at you, so you were fine anyways, it’s not as if it will come back to haunt you, unless Tuxedo…actually, yeah, it will come back to haunt you’ Lydia said between mouthfuls of pudding. Neither of them noticed that Remi was asleep.

 

Moonwhile, in a dark alleyway, the same alleyway that we’ve seen SO many times before, a new portal opened. Slowly, a small figured slithered out and fell to the ground, the portal closing instantly. ‘This will be my world to conquer, the Supreme King and Earth will pay for trying to destroy the glorious Bellops race’ it hissed, slithering into the street, searching, for a suitable host. It found a cliché business man, walking down with suit and brief case. It crawled up his shoe and onto his ankle, turning into a tattoo, which coiled around it. The man groaned and writhed a bit, clasping his head in agony, as the dark control took place. As quickly as it began, the writhing stopped and the man regained perfect balance; but no one noticed that the man’s eyes turned red. ‘Perfect’ he hissed, dropping the brief case and running off to find the perfect place for a new hive.

 

After Zac had stopped worrying about his absolute humiliation, Lydia and Remi tried to cheer him up with a game of scrabble, as usual, it went down hill very fast. ‘ZAC! YOU CANNOT KEEP PLAYING CUPBOARDY! IT’S NOT A REAL WORD!’ Lydia screamed. ‘According to the dictionary, it is’ Remi said. Lydia just humphed and knocked the board over. ‘You were winning anyway’ Zac said. Lydia glared at him. ‘Why didn’t you tell me sooner?’ she asked. ‘You were screaming your head off, how could I get a message in, telepathy?’ he replied. Lydia gave up as Remi and Zac played checkers. As Zac was about to win, the DAlarm (Daemon Alarm) went off. ‘F**k’ Zac said, running over to the computer. ‘What’ve we got Rems?’ Lydia asked. ‘I don’t know, the signal is way too weak to locate, must be some kind of lesser daemon, a really small one, or a daemon that can mask its power; it’s hard to tell to tell really’. ‘Great, so we have an unidentified daemon loose in our city, and we have no idea what it is’ Zac stated, being quite annoyed. ‘It’s no matter; I’ll be able to find it once we get near, although, despite their height, small daemons can be a force to be reckoned with’ Remi warned. Zac rolled his eyes.

 

They couldn’t change to go hunting, so they simply began to go to areas where there are lots of people, the library. Only joking, they went to the mall in search of danger, the unfortunately found it….I think. ‘Zac, we’re here to find evil, not go shopping’ Lydia said, holding several shopping bags. ‘Well sorry, but earlier I got a call from this shop telling me my pre-order is in, and I’m getting it. This shop, like every other shop here is for some reason 24 hr, so SHUT UP!’ he said, going in. Lydia sighed, unknowing that evil was watching her. The creature and his puppet were watching from the second floor. ‘That girl seems to generate an interesting power, perhaps she should become part of my swarm, but I am too weak to control her, I must gather more people to sap energy from’ it hissed, lightly moving past a woman who was window shopping. He lightly brushed hand and a new mark appeared in his hand. It instantly coiled onto her wrist and the woman groaned as her mind was consumed into darkness. ‘Two down, a planet to go’ she hissed. The man and woman slowly began to spread the infection throughout the entire center. Unfortunately, this was only like, 200 hundred people, so it’s like a scientology coven, but you have to make do with what you got after all, because when life gives you lemons, make lemonade and yes, I am perfectly aware that I am rambling, so back to the story.

 

After losing an hour to shopping, Remi could not locate the daemon and the search continued. They were about to leave when Lydia realized she was forgetting something. ‘You guys wait here. I just remembered that I need juice’ she said and re-entered the mall. She was walking through when the lights immediately went out. ‘What th-’. The lights slowly re-activated, but were dimmed like a cliché horror film as many of the cursed people slowly came towards her. She would’ve exited through the front door, but obviously it would’ve been locked, I mean, it’s always locked, that’s the way things work in horror moments, and games too, like dead space, in the start when that first monster attacks and you’re trapped in that tiny room, and yes, I rambling again. She ran throughout the mall, dodging and hiding in stores wondering where Zac and Remi were (sleeping). She finally got to the food court and saw, on the stage there, was a man adourned with a kind of crown. ‘So good of you to make it Lydia’ it hissed. ‘What do you want?’ she asked. The man smiled an inhuman smile. ‘You, that is to say, your body’. ‘Rape? Are you some sick pleasure cult?’ she asked. ‘No, I am merely possessing this weak human frame until I find a strong one, which yours is’. ‘No f**king way dude, my body is my temple’. ‘You don’t have much of a choice, I command a legion of controlled humans, and you’re just one’. ‘I have power, but, who and what are you?’ ‘I, am Hazzard. I am a powerful daemon of the species Bellops’. ‘You can’t be strong, Remi would’ve detected you’. ‘At the start I am weak, but, once I have enough life-force, I will be invincible’. ‘Ugh, that old chestnut, well, what is a Bellops?’ ‘We are creatures not dissimilar from your earthly caterpillars, except, we live and evolve by taking command of other beings and draining their life force, slowly evolving into Monarchs. We control many people by contact and with spores. I am the last, my race was extinguished by the Supreme King. I will have my revenge, using you earthlings to do it’. ‘You won’t get away with this, Zac and Remi will stop you!’ ‘Really? The one you call Zac has little to no power, but Remi is indeed strong, he, will be my next victim’. ‘This fool doesn’t know about the dizasters, this is fortunate, cause he can FF this bastard’. ‘Talk is cheap, you will be my new host’ the man said, walking towards Lydia. She tried to flee but the group circled her. She then knew the only thing she could do. She immediately conjured a large fire ball and incinerated the man, but failed to see a small darting black shape which latched itself to her wrist. She screamed in agony as a serious mental battle began, until, she finally lost.

 

Zac and Remi wake up to realize that the had slept in the car all night, and Lydia had not returned. ‘Man, she couldn’t have left us’ Zac said. He exits the car and him and Remi investigate the mall. Inside, horror is unbound as the place is trashed and deserted. ‘What happened here?’ Zac asked aloud. Remi looks around and finds a black inky stain on the wall, he touches it and gives Zac a fearful look. ‘A Bellops happened’ he said. ‘A what?’ ‘A parasitic species, I thought the Supreme King wiped them out, but it seems one survived. But how, I do not know’. ‘Parasitic how?’ ‘They enter and take control of living organisms, appearing as a blackened seal. The creature is then under it’s control. They can also spread spores to command other beings whilst keeping a central command body. If that is killed, they obtain a new one. I’m afraid to say, Lydia was chosen’ Remi finished, looking worried. He looked up to see Zac was containing extreme emotions he turned around and screamed. ‘F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ Once ha calmed down, he turned again to Remi. ‘Where could he have gone?’ ‘They always pick a hive in a secluded spot, but with easy access. My best bet would be the park. It is the perfect place for an evil parasite hell bent on gathering victims’. ‘Good’ Zac said, running faster then he normally could, but then stopped after an epiphany. ‘Oh right, Dizaster 5 – Terras Rhino’ he shouted.

 

*Cue Anime Transformation*

 

Zac was holding the card in front of him, but then it exploded into particles of green, which Zac sprinkles about to generate a seal on the ground. He chants and a large rock engulfs him. It stands there for a moments before large cracks appear in it, causing the rock to move about. It shattered into small particles as Zac emerges from the ground, In a suit of heavy armour, it is jointed in the needed spots and the gauntlets are claws, whilst the boots are bulky. He smiles as he clicks his fingers, summoning a helm that surrounds his head. It has a large horn on it that arches back. The scattered rock fragments glow green as they slowly converge and collect onto Zac’s left arm, becoming a tower shield with a rhino’s face on it. He finished this by smashing the ground to summon a large stone ‘V’ behind him.

 

*End Transformation sequence*

 

He didn’t even bother to marvel at his form as he summoned a large stone platform which took Remi and himself to the park. ‘Zac, this isn’t very safe, we’re going to fast’ Remi called. Zac ignored him as he increased speed, causing Remi to nearly fall off. ‘Damnit Zac’ Remi groaned, but then silenced as he saw a large fire set in the park. Hundreds of people were dancing around it, chanting in a foreign or forgotten language. Zac lands nearby as they watch from above. Lydia was standing on al large throne, looking content. She immediately gets up. ‘Servants and followers, the time is neigh. I have obtained enough of your pitiful energy to progress further into evolution’ she called. Zac shivered as he could feel another force in her voice. ‘This body is too precious to waste, who will step up and become my vessel?’ she called out. Many of the gathered people raised their hands, but Lydia/Hazzard ignored these, as he spotted his first body. ‘You’ she said, pointing at him. The man celebrated as he moves over to a carefully prepared alter. ‘What does he mean ‘this body is to precious to waste?’ Zac whispered. ‘A Bellops needs a body to achieve a cocoon state, where they evolve into a Monarch. In this way, the victim must physically have the creature in it’ Remi explained. Zac shivered, ‘how horrible’. ‘Aye, but if we end the victims life before, the Bellops cannot escape, thus ending it permanently’. Zac nodded, as he watched Lydia approach the alter. ‘You have given your life for my ends, you shall be rewarded’ Lydia said, drawing a dagger and cutting deep into the seal on her wrist, and drawing a small slug like creature. The man adoringly raises his head and opens his mouth. Lydia drops the creature into the mans mouth, swallowing it. Zac retched horribly, not wanting to watch this anymore. He jumps down from the hill he was hiding on and leaps to the alter. He points at the vessel. ‘This ends now FREAK!’ he orders. A sharp whack to the side of his head wakes him to the fact that Lydia just hit him with a pole. ‘Stay away from Lord Hazzard’ she ordered. Zac had little choice but to parry her blows so he couldn’t hurt him or her. Before he realized what was happening, large scale screaming was heard. Zac and Lydia watch as the Vessel writhes on the ground, large tumours forming on his body as it slowly swells. Zac was horrified as the man’s features were slowly erased as the body mutates into a sickening cocoon, alive with large holes and orrifices. Zac was about to puke as from one of the holes a thick cloud of purple gas began to escape. ‘The Lord’s spores will infect the world’ Lydia said. Zac was helpless as he covered his mouth to avoid this toxic cloud. He could only mouth a ‘F**K!’.

 

 

[spoiler=Ep 20]Ep 20: Galaxy Crush

 

Zac had desperately tried not to breathe in the toxic fumes, but he immediately took a big gulp of air once he was at his limit, to find that it was pure. He looks up to see glass covering the open part of his helm. Zac knew he had little option but to escape from the brain controlled mass and the cocoon. He quickly spun and tunneled in the ground, whilst the masses were bowing to their now gooey lord. ‘This isn’t good. He evolved faster then expected, how can I hope to destroy it when everyone in my turn, including Lydia and probably Remi and Adam are controlled by him, not mention Remi didn’t tell me the fifth Dizaster’s weapon’ Zac thought. ‘It’s a battle-hammer’ a voice in his head said. ‘What?’ ‘A hammer you retard’ it said, and then it silenced. ‘Okay, I have a giant hammer, but that won’t help against such a slippery foe. Also, I realize that I need to think of new attacks for Terras, otherwise, I might be doomed’.

 

Zac managed to escape to the dump where he supposedly fought Tuxedo’s mecha, but, all that there was the remains of a broken crane. ‘This’ll do for now, but, I need to think. Let’s see, Stonehenge sounds good, and meteor as well. But, my power is earth, and all living things are of the earth, so, Terra Force will be my epic for now’ he concluded. He began to practice each of his new deadly attacks in preparation for Hazzard’s emergence.

 

Speaking of Hazzard, deep within his fleshy cocoon, he slowly thought. ‘That human has interesting power. He was able to fool me into thinking he had none, he must be very powerful. And, looking into that girl’s memories, she tells me that they are called Dizasters, and that they are only usable by him. But, once I hatch; I’ll take him and merge my form with his, in order to wield infinite power in this plain, and conquer this world. Then, the Nega universes as well. The skies the limit, for now’. The small form of the wretched creature began to contort and twist into a bipedial form. ‘Soon’.

 

Zac had trained for hours and hours, practicing every retarded attack that came to mind. He felt he was sufficiently ready when yelling was heard. He turns to see a crowd of Hazzard’s followers had found him. ‘Kill him for the master’ they shout. Zac immediately flees by raising a stone slab and rocketing off into the deeper parts of the city, landing on an unoccupied building. He surveys the town to see many bon fires and search teams in the city, whilst Hazzard’s cocoon was seen in the background. ‘I’m going to kill Hazzard’ he promised.

 

He found a pair of binoculars in a small box on the roof. ‘Must be a bird watcher living here’ he mutters as he Dizasters out and begins to survey the city. ‘There are many guards in the way, but where is Lydia, Remi and Adam?’ he asked. ‘Where indeed’ a voice said behind him. He turns to see that last person he wanted to see. ‘Tuxedo, why do you always bother me at times of peril; have you come to mock me at the moment of your greatest triumph’ he said venomously. Tuxedo actually looked offended. ‘You think I had something to do with this?! This is not my style, as Hazzard is acting on his own. I thought I had killed all of them, but it would seem that the dead are not want to fall’ Tuxedo explained. ‘So why are you here?’ Zac asked. ‘The same reason you are. The Supreme King has sent me to eviscerate Hazzard before he becomes too powerful, which it seems he already has as it seems he’s beaten you’. ‘I didn’t loss, I only retreated to prepare for his revival, as I can’t fight him in that cocoon stage, as his followers would stop me, and I don’t want to hurt the populace. ‘You could’ve rendered them comatose’ Tuxedo suggested. ‘No’. ‘Fine, but, I hate to say it, but I’m going to have to side with you in this match. It will be a temporary alliance until this menace is defeated, nothing more’ Tuxedo stated, holding out his hand. Zac sighs and takes Tuxedo’s hand. ‘Agreed’ he said lamely. ‘So what’s your plan that you’ve been ‘preparing’?’ ‘Bugger all. I can’t think of any attacks that won’t hurt people. If you could clear them away, I’ll have a clear shot to take him out’ Zac explained, drawing a little diagram. ‘Heh, and I have the perfect plan’ Tuxedo said, smiling a little to happily.

 

All of the cities population is in areas near the cocoon, worshipping it. Every so often, one of them falls as a stream of red energy escapes from them, flying away and getting absorbed straight into the cocoon. ‘More minions, more. My resurrection is nigh’ it (somehow) shouted. Everyone celebrated by this, but it was short lived as explosions rained down in the unpopulated parts. They all turn with venomous red eyes to see Tuxedo smirking in the air. ‘Tuxedo, you worm. I’ll kill you for what you did’ they all said as one. ‘And I’ll kill you finally. After all, life is a great deal easier when dead things have the decency to stay dead’ Tux countered. ‘My people gave me the chance to escape, so I took it. And now, your mistake in letting me escape will be your undoing, DESTROY HIM!’ Hazzard shouted. Everyone but a slim few went after Tuxedo. ‘Good luck kid’ Tuxedo thought as he ran.

 

Zac was watching the commotion from afar, waiting to tunnel to Hazzard’s cocoon. He saw Tuxedo had the populace on the run and now it was his chance. ‘Hope this works’ he said, and then he immediately drilled into the ground, searching his way to the park. Once he was sure he was near, he immediately popped out of the ground to find had tunneled right in the circle where the remaining followers were. He quickly jumped out and knocked them cold before they could respond. He turned to look at his sickening foe. ‘So Dizaster, you’ve come to me at last, very good. I didn’t think Tuxedo could toss his pride away to side with you. As you humans say, each day brings new surprises. But now, you are too late, my cocoon is sealed tight, you cannot get to me, I am invincible’ Hazzard told Zac, his cocoon gurgling. ‘Stop that! Speak normally’ Zac ordered. ‘Fine, I was trying to add some drama to this, but obviously that’s not good enough for you is it?’ ‘Heh, your evolutions name should be changed from monarch to drama queen’. ‘Grrr, curse you!’ it screamed. Zac was preparing to charge up an attack just as the cocoon began to split down the middle, a grim glow issued from the cracks and…

 

::Intermission::

A small curtain appears with ‘Intermission’ on it. ‘What the hell is this?’ Lydia calls. ‘Must be an intermission’ Remi explains. ‘Okay guys, we’re putting on a show whilst we’re preparing the scene, so we have a short music scene for you all, YAY!’ BH said, coming and getting ready. He takes Lydia and Zac behind the curtain. ‘Okay, get into these costumes and get ready’. Zac sighs loudly as he goes behind the curtain and shortly after the sounds of clothes shifting is heard, but then, fan fare plays as a simple tune plays. The curtains raise and we see Zac dressed like a male doll and Lydia with her hair in pigtails and in a little girls dress. Remi plays a small tune on a keyboard he is given, whilst Lydia begins to sing. ‘Coin operated boy, sitting on the shelf he is just a toy, but I turn him on and he comes to life; automatic joy. That is why I want a coin operated boy’ Lydia sang, playing with Zac like a doll. He is wearing a painfully worn pained look. ‘Made of plastic and elastic, he is rugged and long-lasting. Who could ever ever ask for more? Love without complications galore, many shapes and weights to choose from. I will never leave my bedroom, I will never cry at night again, wrap my arms around him and pretend.... coin operated boy all the other real ones that I destroy cannot hold a candle to my new boy, and I'll never let him go and I'll never be alone not with my coin operated boy......’ she sang happily, dancing with Zac. Zac himself was close to tears, but he must remember, his pay-check was on the line. ‘This bridge was written to make you feel smitten, with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer. Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy, I didn’t think so but I’m still convincible. Will you persist even after I bet you?

A billion dollars that I’ll never love you, will you persist even after I kiss you? Goodbye for the last time, will you keep on trying to prove it? I’m dying to lose it...

I want it, I want you; I want a coin operated boy’ Lydia sang again, and then she dropped Zac. ‘BH, this isn’t working’. BH came in again. ‘No matter, we filled up the time we needed to this Ep, I’m happy now, continue on with the show. The curtain-raised to the show at hand.

 

Zac was staring at the cocoon as something large began to escape from it. ‘Hazzard’s monarch form’ he whispered. Ooze dripped from his body as Hazzard stepped out. Zac looked upon it with a mix of fear and intrigue. Hazzard’s form resembled a large bipedial butterfly, except the head was more daemonick. Its arms were thin put heavily armoured from the shoulder to the elbow, where it is more thicker from the elbow to its clawed hands. Its legs are thick and jointed at the knees. This form would be completely horrifying, except for the bright and colourful pattern on its wings. Zac snickered as Hazzard began to dry out. ‘Look upon the face of terror humanity, for you will all meet your end at my hands’ he declared. Zac bursts out laughing. ‘My god, your species would be more horrifying, except for your bright and pretty wings offsetting the balance’. Hazzard merely growled. ‘The brighter the colours, the more power I possess’ it states, and reaches down to grab Zac. Obviously he couldn’t as Zac jumps away and then he got serious. ‘Hazzard, I have been preparing this attack just for YOU!’ Zac shouted, drawing green flickers of energy from all living things near him, converting it into a massive sphere of glowing energy. ‘Suck on this! TERRA FORCE!’ he shouts, launching the sphere at Hazzard, who immediately guards. The sphere impacts onto him and explodes, spreading shrapnel and debris everywhere in a cloud of smoke.

 

Zac looks into the smoke and gasps horribly. Hazzard’s guard had not been broken, more to the fact that his scales were barely scratched. ‘N-N-NO FREAKING WAY!’ he gasped. Hazzard just laughed. ‘I must say, that almost hurt. How pitiful that that was your best shot. It’s too late for you to try again’. Hazzard raised his hand as did every controlled human. ‘You used the energy of the world, so I’ll use your friends and wards as well’ he said, gathering crimson energy in large streams from everyone near him. As energy was stolen, each victim became incased in a silk-like cocoon, providing safety and boundless energy. ‘DOOM NIGHTMAREN!’ Hazzard shouted, converting the stolen energy into a large javelin, which he tossed at Zac. Zac gasped in pain as the attack pierced his shield and the blast took him clear out of the park and crashing into one of the buildings. He groaned as he collapsed onto the ground. Hazzard glided straight over and removed Zac from the wreckage. ‘So sad’ he mutters, preparing to crunch Zac. He was thwarted as his arm was cut by a flung object, in anger he turns to see Tuxedo floating, held aloft by his 10 wings. ‘Tuxedo, that was cheap’ he complained. ‘You’re one to talk, but, after all, cut off the head and the body will die’ Tuxedo said. ‘You planned to kill me, when even this wretched human couldn’t when using his strongest attack?’ Hazzard asked, pointing Zac at Tux. ‘No, I was going to kill that ‘wretched human’. I figured, might as well kill him as well as yourself’ Tuxedo said, pointing a rose at Hazzard(don’t ask why, he just has an infinite supply of them). Zac heard everything, and his anger revived him. ‘Tuxedo you jerk, you promised to help me until Hazzard was dead’ he whined. ‘I changed my mind, you humans are so gullible, always trying to make friends. You should always make sure your ‘friends’ are sincere first, no matter, soon you will be dead’ Tuxedo said. He immediately grabbed Zac from Hazzard and rocketed into the sky. Hazzard roared in anger and took after them.

 

Tuxedo managed to break through the atmosphere incredibly quickly, as he dropped Zac onto a small asteroid. ‘Wake up’ he orders. Zac gets up, exhausted but better. ‘Nice word play Tuxedo, I didn’t think that Hazzard could be so stupid. But, it was a brilliant move to fight in the outer space, he’ll have less contact with his followers, and he’ll have little chance of creating a deadly Doom attack’. ‘Whatever, but, are you sure it’ll work?’ ‘Yeah, the Terra Force proved the extent of this Dizasters power, all I need is the time and the right place’. ‘That better be soon, here he comes now’ Tuxedo said, straightening his perfect hair. ‘By the way, how are you alive? I know this armour has some plant elements, and the glass plate to cover my face, so how are you living without any assistance?’ ‘I dunno know’ Tuxedo said with a shrug. ‘Finally, there you are’ Hazzard growled, breaking the asteroid, scattering them. ‘Good ploy. Making me think you broke your unity, I never though you were so loyal Tuxedo’. ‘I do what I must to succeed, even if it means siding with my enemy to defeat another’. ‘You’re welcome’ Zac said with indignity. ‘Still that old chestnut? Why can’t you see that you failed? The earth is mine, and soon the universe, all mine’ Hazzard said, almost sadly. ‘What? Right, those damned spores you released, they covered the world didn’t they?’ Tuxedo concluded. Zac shook his hand, ignoring Tux. ‘That’s where you’re wrong Hazzard, you are going to die here and now’ Zac declared. ‘Heh, you couldn’t defeat me with your ultimate attack, what kind of chance do you think you have now. Frankly, you should be glad; you’re going to be my final victim, and my vessel. You will carry me and victory shall be mine, stop fighting and submit’ Hazzard almost pleaded. Zac began a dark chuckling, as Tuxedo did to. ‘What?’ Zac smiled. ‘YOU are going to be the victim here’ Zac said. ‘You see, Terra Force wasn’t his strongest attack, if you were smarter, you would’ve known of the Elysiums’ Tuxedo added. ‘What?’ Hazzard said, with ah hint of fear. Zac looks grimly at Hazzard, as small asteroids began to circle him. ‘Hazzard, you have endangered the lives of countless humans, and my world. You cannot be forgiven, no matter what’ Zac yells. Hazzard prepares to attack again, but is stopped as 10 stone wings jet out from the back of Zac’s armour. ‘Not this again’ Hazzard says lamely. He was SO wrong. Zac opens his eyes, they burned with a green passion. ‘YOU WILL DIE NOW!’ Zac yells. Hazzard looks around as green streams of energy fly from everything around him, asteroids, planets, moons, even the sun. Billions of streams of energy come from the earth, the entire world raising their hands and uniting their energy. Each wisp flies in and gets absorbed by the wings, powering a small sphere in Zac’s hand. With each piece, the orbs grows. Zac begins to shout his ultimate attack. ‘ULTIMATE ATTACK! GALAXY CRUSH ELYSIUM’ he roars, firing a beam of energy at Hazzard. He immediately counters with a larger beam of crimson energy, it begins to push the Elysium back. ‘Tragic’ Hazzard says. Tuxedo jumps into the fray as well, generating a large sphere of darkness and he fires it. ‘Negative Elysium’ he calls. The beam unites with the Galaxy Crush Elysium and it becomes larger, forcing Hazzard back. Both beams stop as each side is exhausted. ‘You may have depleted my energy, but yours are as well. I told you time and again, I AM INVICIBLE!’ Hazzard shouted. Zac was gasping, trying to put pieces together. ‘This is impossible, he shouldn’t have been able to stop that, it’s over’ he moaned. ‘Don’t give up Zac, cause if you do I’ll ripe your nuts off and feed them to you’ Lydia said. Zac looked around and found nothing. ‘Lydia?’ ‘Yeah, I’m here, as well as Remi, Adam, even Rowena is here as well. And we’re here to support you, don’t give up, with our energy, you can destroy Hazzard with another Galaxy Crush Elysium, NOW DO IT!’ Zac became engulfed in a geen glow, that began to rejuvenate his armour. ‘That’s not possible you can’t heal that fast’ Hazzard protested. Zac didn’t answer, he merely shaped another green sphere. ‘GALAXY CRUSH ELYSIUM!’ Zac shouted. A tremendous wave of energy is launched from his hands, forming into a large green arrow of major pwnge. Hazzard himself was too shocked to counter as he was engulfed. ‘THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!’ he screamed, as he slowly began to fragment, piece by piece, completely evaporating. Zac looks out into space as he sighs happily, he collapses into semi-consciousness. Without even trying, he was surrounded by a stony shell as he began his descent to earth.

 

The world itself was waking up from a very bad headache. The cities population itself were all released from their cocoons as they vanished. Lydia gets up off the ground and looks around. ‘That bastard Hazzard, where is he’ she growls, but looks up at the sky to see a bright light twinkling. Remi, Adam and Rowena join her. ‘Where’s Zac?’ Remi asks. Lydia points up. ‘He went to space to fight Hazzard, but, he gave his life up in return’ she explained. ‘What’s that?’ Rowena asks. They all look up to see twinkling slowly became bigger as a meteor rocketed through the sly until it crashed straight into the lake in the park. They all run over to investigate.

 

Everyone who was curious circled the now dry lake, observing the glowing sphere. It began to crack as a large fist broke through the surface of the rock. It cracks in the middle as Zac and Tuxedo emerge from it. Tuxedo was gasping. ‘You could’ve made it roomier, I was getting stuck by your bloody horn’ he complained. ‘Don’t jabroni Tux, this was the safest size I could’ve made, any bigger and real damage could’ve been done, I’m just glad we crashed into the lake’ Zac answered back, slowly realizing he was surrounded. ‘Erm, hi. I’m the newest hero, Terras Rhino. Nice to meet you’ he says uncertainly and then burrows into the ground. Tuxedo merely vanishes.

 

Later, Tuxedo stood before the Supreme King. ‘Tuxedo, you sided with our greatest enemy; that is a serious charge’ he states. ‘I know my lord, but it was worth it. The Bellops are now completely extinct, and best of all, I got what I needed’ Tuxedo states, holding up a small hair. ‘The hair of Terras Rhino’. ‘Yes, one down, 8 to go’.
