Could he have turned himself around somewhere? Shouldn't he have come to another intersection by now? How long had he been walking?
There was no way to tell. To make sure he was walking the right direction he rested his right hand against the roughly hewn wall on his right side and trailed it along beside him as he walked. Soon, the weight of the earth above him became a suffocating presence, ready to crush or entomb him with a single shudder and he began to jog again. There must be an exit somewhere...
He broke into a run, hand bumping along next to him. And then, where ground should have been, there was nothing. His foot touched down on an empty space and he was tumbling forward into darkness. For a moment it felt as though he were floating upwards. He had died somehow and was drifting up to wherever the Runescape gods resided, but then his shoulder hit stone with a sickening crack and a burst of pain.
Again, he was off the ground for a second, and then a sharp edge crashed into his side. And again, and then Mr. Happy'* head hit stone and blackness washed over him.

Something hard pressed against his back, and something else pushed his legs out at an angle from his body. What had happened? He remembered Muad Dhib leading him out of the mage arena into the Wildy. Him trying to run. Hadn't something occured after that though? Something with a shaft? A box? Should he open his eyes?
It was no use, he soon found. Opening his eyes revealed the same darkness that hid behind his eyelids. Was he blind? Soon he discovered other problems with his body. His left leg moved stiffly at best and pain always accompanied its movements. As for his right arm...
He soon gave up trying.
It was there, he could feel it with his left hand, but it would not move no matter how hard he willed it to. He would die down here, he realized. What stung more, however, was that he would never get to kill Cheezit92.

He began to cry hopelessly, tears running down his face, and dripping onto the ground by his head.
"No," he told himself, suddenly "I am still alive. I musn't break up." Alright, concentrate on first things first.
His feet were propped up on something, probably bound to something, but when he tried to move them he found out his latter prediction was not true. They slid off easily enough falling onto the ground beside him, his left with a burst of pain. At least he wasn't tied up, he should be grateful for that. Now to sit up.
He didn't get halfway before his head began to spin, blood pounding in his temples. He saw - no, he didn't have eyes anymore - he felt the earth tumble around him. a feeling made more sickening than usual by his lack of sight. Once more he fell backwards, hands flailing for darkness, waiting for the impact...but it never came.
Something caught his hand, and the next he knew he was pulled to his feet. He would have fallen again, too, if something had not steadied him. Waves of dizziness and nausea washed over him, then pain from his right arm (apparently it was the one he had been pulled up by), which roared through his skull. It felt as though his hand were made of steel, its dead weight tearing the ligaments in his shoulder. Things he could do to Cheezit92 with a hand of steel filled his thoughts before the pain overrode them and he blacked out once more.

24 – Karamja

we're right, yeah
we're free, yeah
we'll fight, yeah
you'll see, yeah

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore
-Twisted Sister

By the time Zezima's glider came into sight, the sun was just beginning its descent towards the western horizon. Billy313 watched along with the rest of the hunting party as the contraption came closer, its broad canvas-covered frame rising and falling with the thermals produced by the ocean.
Billy313:If I know Zezima, he's going to make his entry showy.
Gollum2:Yea, he usually does.
Yet Icarus, or so Zezima had named the glider, maintained a steady course for the Karamja landing pad. It was not until the flyer was close enough that one could make out the figure dangling from it that the first signs that something was amiss became apparent. A sharp gust of wind hit the device and it tilted crazily, veering southwards, something large falling off of it in the process and splashing into the roiling seas below. Gasps arose from the hunting party as they wondered if Zezima had fallen off, but a few seconds later it was seen that a person was still clinging grimly to the bottom of the glider.
Genocide456:Must have been provisions.
Gollum2:Yea
Yet something was still wrong. Instead of leveling out and heading for the landing strip once more, the glider kept to its southward course, tilting in the wind as though Zezima had lost control.
The elitists hurried along Karamja's beach muttering to each other. Had Zezima somehow lost consciousness?
Only Billy313 stayed.
The glider was leaning heavily now, first to one side then the other, like a top that was loosing its initial momentum. By the time it disappeared behind a fold of land far to the south of the designated landing spot, it was actually spiralling, and what Billy313 guessed were Zezima'* legs were being flung out into the air as it twisted. Then it was gone, hidden by Karamja's coastline.

Was that a faint crunch he heard?
Billy313 wondered if he should go investigate, but he decided the others would return soon enough with the news. He might as well wait. Besides, Zezima had said...
A wet hand suddenly danced out from behind him and closed over his eyes. The stench of seawater filled his nostrils.
Zezima:Guess who.
Billy313:Zezima, it says ur name before u say something.
Zezima:****, they should change that.
Billy313:Lol.
The hand was removed and Karamja's tropical jungle once again appeared before Bondguy's eyes.
Zezima:Nice dragon by the way.
Billy313:Thnx
Billy313 turned to see Zezima already walking towards the nearby huts in which the noob-hunting equipment was stored. He was dressed in full camouflage, which did not blend in at all with the stark yellow of Karamja's beach but would work well in the jungle. Everything about him was dripping wet.
Billy313:A suit for every occasion I see.
Zezima:I try.
Billy313:You might want to dry off before you start hunting
Zezima:No thnx, it's hot enough down here, I'll be dry within an hour.
Zezima:Besides I want to start before the other elitists return.
Billy313

k. So that was you falling off the glider?
Zezima:Yea, so did u receive the noobs?
Billy313:Yes, there should be close to 2000 noobs on this island now.
Billy313:Minus those that have already died of scorpions, etc. of course.
Zezima:So...maybe 20 left then?
Billy313:Lol. No, we equipped them with stuff
Billy313:Anti-poison, weapons, a
rmor...
Billy313:You said u wanted a challenge.
Zezima:Great.
They had reached one of the storage sheds now, each of which contained almost every type of weapon and armor available on Runescape. Prices for renting items on Karamja varied depending on which you chose and your combat lvl, but for Zezima, Karamja's hunting corporation was willing to make exceptions.

Billy313 unlocked one of the buildings and Zezima entered, rifling through the wares for a few minutes before finding what he wanted and backing out again.
Zezima:Wasn't there once a bank on Karamja?
Billy313:That was taken down a few months ago.
Zezima:Ah, I see.
Billy313:I have a question to ask you.
Zezima:?
Billy313:Where are all these new noobs coming from?
Billy313

id we win a battle or something?
Zezima:That was two questions, but yes we did win a battle.
Zezima:The elitists control Lumbridge now.
Billy313:So we get the noobs from Tutorial Island?
Zezima:I would think so.
They were strolling back towards the jungle once more, the sun beating down on them. Once they reached the first of the jungle's outlying trees Billy313 paused.
Billy313:So what should I tell the others?
Billy313:They are supposed to be ur bodyguards.
Zezima:Hm*m, well unless they find me before this time tomoro
Zezima:I'll meet them here.
Billy313:They won't like that.
Zezima grinned.
Zezima:They'll have to deal with it.
Billy313:And just to warn you, we got the noobs here a week ago.
Zezima

k
Billy313:They'll probably have formed a group by now
Billy313:They usually do that, maybe set traps...
Billy313:Actually, there was a kind of nasty incident with that last week.
Zezima:I'll be able to handle it.
Billy313:I don't doubt that.
Billy313:K, c ya then.
Zezima:Adios.
Zezima started into the jungle and soon disappeared amongst the trees. Although Billy313 searched, he saw hardly a bent twig where Zezima had entered. The other elitists would have a hard time tracking him...especially since Karamja was such a huge place. Speaking of the others...
Billy313 walked back to sit on the beach just out of reach of the sea's lapping waves. Several minutes passed before he spotted the first of the angry elitists striding up the beach towards him. It was Genocide456, his rogue armor absorbing the sun.

Glancing towards the spot at which Zezima had entered the jungle, Billy313 took a deep breath and readied himself to recite Zezima's message.

25 – A Stroke of Good Luck

One and one,
Always makes two,
Unless Mr. Happy
Does the math for you.
~~~Azrael E'terni

Cheezit92:Ur probably wondering why I called u in here
Discollama2:Yes
They were seated inside Cheezit92's monster of a tent, the only person with them being Texan85 who had escorted Discollama2 to Cheezit92's tent and was now seated at ease in one of its corners.
Cheezit92:Well, to be blunt I need a new second in command
Discollama2:And ur choosing me!?
Cheezit92:Yea, I need to say something tho
Discollama2:K
Cheezit92:My worst fear is that one of these battles I will die
Cheezit92:And my cause will be lost forever
Discollama2:But u'd just come back through Tutorial Island
Cheezit92:No one would recognize me tho
Discollama2:We could ask each noob questions to prove which one is u...
Cheezit92:But would people follow me if there was any chance
Cheezit92:Even the smallest, that I was not the real Cheezit92
Cheezit92:Just a really informed noob?
Discollama2:I'm sure they would
Texan85:Anyway, you'll find its much harder to get out of Tutorial Island nowadays
Discollama2:?
Cheezit92:Anyways, the point is
Cheezit92:I need someone who I can trust to carry on my cause
Discollama2:Well u can trust me
Cheezit92:Yes, I've searched the camp and decided
Cheezit92:Ur my most loyal follower
Cheezit92:I've seen too many people - even some noobs! - just out there for power
Discollama2:I am just here to rid the earth of elitists forever
Cheezit92:Good
Cheezit92:Would you like to be my second in command then?
Discollama2:Along with general?
Cheezit92:Yes
Discollama2:Yes, I'd be honored
Cheezit92:Alright, I'll announce it this evening
Discollama2:By the way, any plans for seizing Ardougne yet?
Cheezit92

on't worry about Ardougne, it will fall soon
Discollama2:I'm not worried about Ardougne
Discollama2:I'm worried about the troops...
Cheezit92:Just tell them not to worry, we'll cross this infernal river soon

Discollama2:Alright, ty
He bowed as he backed out of the tent, and then Cheezit92 was alone with Texan85.
Texan85:You don't really have a plan do you
Cheezit92:No, it's impossible
Cheezit92:We might have to give up soon
Cheezit92:And head back to Lumbridge
Texan85:I wouldn't be too sure about that
Cheezit92

o you have a plan?
Texan85:No
He strode to the flap covering the tent's entryway and pulled it aside, sticking his head out to survey Ardougne.
Texan85:But sometimes people have mysterious strokes of good luck
Cheezit92:What do u mean?
Texan85

, nothing
For a minute it was silent. Then Texan85 started up again.
Texan85:Ah, here comes someone now. I better leave.
And within a second Cheezit92 was left to stare at the tent flap that Texan85 had just disappeared through. It swung slowly back and forth as it worked its way to a rest. Back and forth. An image of a gallows came into his head, a body swinging slowly from it back and forth, back and forth as the crowd that had turned out to watch the event headed back to their homes, muttering. For a moment he imagined Zezima's body was the one hanging from the gallows. How he longed for that!
But then he realized it was not Zezima, but Mr. Happy and strangely he longed for that even more. But Mr. Happy was dead already, why...
The swish of the tent flap interrupted his thoughts and he came back to the present in time to see Zamilo, a noob soldier, push his way into the tent. He was breathing heavily and seemed to have run all the way from Discollama2's camp.
Zamilo:Cheezit92. Sir. We...
He tried to catch his breath.
Cheezit92

lz take a seat
Zamilo:Ty, sir...
Zamilo:...it seems...
Zamilo:We have had a stroke...
Zamilo

f good luck
Cheezit92:?
Zamilo:A way to cross the river has been found
Zamilo:And
Zamilo:Something's happened in Ardougne castle
Zamilo:You better come see

What could have happened? Now that he listened Cheezit92 could hear shouts and sounds of commotion outside, distant yet tangible. How long had they been going on for?
Curiosity overcoming him, Cheezit92 walked to the tent flap and whisked it aside.
