Chapter 4: The Past part 3: Fight or Flight

Note: this part is not scripted, as it is mainly an action scene.

The horror swoops down and wrecks the ranging guild, the debris flying over the clans' heads. And a chunk of a tower hits Tank. Mel jumps on the tip of Ava's arm, and Ava fires her at the horror. She stabs the horror multiple times with her scythe but is then thrown off, with only a few scratches given to it. Ava then throws Noob at it, and instead he gets eaten. An idea comes to Jess' head.

She gives orders to John to be fired by Ava at the horror and to get swallowed by it. John complies, and is shot into the creature. From there, he blasts at the horror from the inside with his bladed wands, damaging it quite a bit. The horror, while distracted with John in its throat trying to get him out, doesn't notice Mel jumping on it and stabbing at it, this time going for its four eyes. The horror finally notices, and tries to stop Mel using one of its two sharp mouth mandibles. She ignores the mandibles and strikes an eye, blinding it there. The horror spits out John, who blasts an eye midair before hitting the ground, blinding the horror there. Ava then grabs Jess and shoots her at an eye, and she throws a reaping knife at an eye midair, blinding it there. Finally, Ava grabs Noob and shoots him at the last non-blind eye, which Noob just flying corkscrews and hits it, blinding it there, therefore blinding it completely.


Fight over! Back to script format!

The horror shrieks and goes back down the evil tree.
Ava: NPC is no longer a threat. Wait, you guys know that!
Jess: Wow, we killed some kind of super-Vorago! That was awesome!
Mel: Hey Noob, how did you do that midair corkscrew thing?
Noob: It's a trick I taught Ava. Who's a good boy!? :D
Ava: Meee! Woof! :D
John: Weird...
Jess: What?
John: That horror had the same exact face as the Eelbug we fought...
Noob: Same creature different form?
John: Yeah, maybe...

Chapter 5: Behind the Scenes

Remember the mysterious character and his adviser, Yukkah? They're back.

Yukkah closes a grand door behind him and runs through the hallway to his master. They're in a throne room, and Yukkah gets to his master.

Yukkah: Master! Urgent news!
???: What is it?
Yukkah: More adventurers are pouring into our homeworld!
???: So?
Yukkah: ...Did you not hear what I just said? Humans. From Gielinor. Entering Juk.
???: Is this getting somewhere, because this is NOT that big of a deal.
Yukkah: Well a group of adventurers and a floating golem managed to find an inscribed cube and translate it at... THE FORBIDDEN BUILDING!
???: This is great news.
Yukkah: I kno- wait, what?
???: They managed to find a message from an ancient race that should have been wiped out millenia ago.
Yukkah: Oh, those creatures! You think they're still alive?
???: I do. Did the watchers manage to find out what the translation was?
Yukkah: Yes sir. The message is on this document. *hands it to ???*
???: Good. We're steps closer from accomplishing our goal.
Yukkah: I know sir! But what about the group of adventurers and the multiple others that trespass on our home?
???: Let them come. It will be all the merrier when they're surprised.
Yukkah: Surprised?
???: Don't worry about it. Tell-
The door at the other end breaks down.
Jukan rebel1: We're here to end your reign!
Jukan rebel2: Time to die, menace!
???: *sigh* You're all just idiotic to go against me.
Jukan rebel3: Oh yeah? We're not scared of you!
???: Heh, suit yourself... *????? ???? ? ????? ???????? ???????*
Jukan rebel1: *shivering* Wh-what's going on?
???: Your... DEMISE!
The rebels are screaming, as if in horrific pain. There is also a more horrific sound. The screaming stops. They're dead.
???: *????? ???? ?? ??? ???????? ????* Ahh... that's better. I needed to blow some steam off anyways.
Yukkah is shivering in a corner.
???: Oh, do get up, Yukkah. You've seen this happen before.
Yukkah: Oh yeah.

Chapter end.

Chapter 6: The Last pt 1: Dead Isle


On a ship, leaving Ghyl...

John: It says that the coordinates of the location of... whatever awaits us... is at 39 degrees 12 minutes North, 85 degrees 84 minutes East...
Jess: Well it's a good thing that we're heading Eastward, since we were docked on this side of Ghyl, the middle...
John: Actually it's west of here.
Jess: ...

5 days later...

Jess: *writing in her log* Captain's Log... We've sailed for days. We fed off all our rations for the first day because some seamonsters are hella tough. The next two were feeding off fish, and after that, there were no more. For some reason, the fish left, maybe this is some sort of place where life cannot exist. I don't know how long we have left.
Mel: Uh, Jess, we're here.
Jess: Oh. *writes again* We've arrived at out destination. Coordinates attached. *adds coordinates*
Ava: So far I've detected five living things on this island, one besides us.
Noob: You just said five...
Ava: I'm no gonna live anymore fantasies, we all know I'm nonliving.
Noob: Oh yeah.

The island the group is on is filled with dead trees, and the beach littered with corpses and skeletons of fish and other corpses of other creatures, many of which appear to be extinct. One is a form of rodent, with a full jaw of incisors, another is a Dragonkin, and one looks like a Jukorit, but it has four eyes, 3 slim insectile jaws, talons for feet, a bat-winged tail, and some sort of frilled appendages on its shoulder blades. Also it's very large.
John: So many animals. I should talk about this on the forums!
Suddenly, a "psst" is heard behind a nearby rock, which is a TokHaar-Hok body.
John: Huh?
Ava: Told ya.
A "Come here!"; is heard.
John: Nah, lemme just... Um nahi listic durooo-rah!
Jess: How'dya...
John: Animate rock scroll from the new quest.
Jess: Ah.
The TokHaar-Hok awakens, and runs toward the water.
TokHaar-Hok: I'm outta here! *sinks away towards the portal*
John: WhaaaaAA?!? *sees something*

Chapter 6: The Last pt 2: Forgotten

John sees a giant creature behind him. A large Jukorit (yeah, a LARGE Jukorit!)with talons, shoulder-blade appendages with frills, four eyes, a bat-winged tail, and 3 insectile jaws, as well as wearing a sort of garb. Its face looks a bit like the Juk's Horror and Eelbug.
John: What the...
Odd Jukorit: Ak jur**** vuh tsak v*******- ku! Gsat vurfg!
The Jukorit touches John on his foregead jentley and steps back.
Odd Jukorit: *ahem* Greetings. This isle is known as Jukoplyt. I am Birrath, the last of my kind, the Juks.
Noob: Isn't "Juk" the name of this planet?
Birrath: Indeed. My people were named after this planet due to our correlation with THE Juk: the very life force of this planet. This planet was teeming with life of many kinds. We also know of the creators who created this place because of said correlation. And we thank them for that.
Mel: It still is! But not after I'M done with it...
Birrath: *extends curled tail, reveals a neck spine, opens frills, bends legs, and extends two of its mouth jaws; as an act of aggression* DO NOT HURT THIS WORLD! *goes back to original self* I apologize. But please do not hurt this world!
Mel: Sorry! I just like killing stuff...
Birrath: It is your nature, and I forgive you for that.
Jess: Let me ask something: If this planet is teeming with life, then why is this island filled with dead trees and corpses of creatures?
Birrath: It is because the life force has been cut off on this island and for miles further. No life can exist here.
Ava: She is right. Scanners show no life OR lifeforce on this island and further for a radius of 5 miles. Minus us of course.
John: If life can't exist here, then why are you and us alive?
Birrath: It is because you beings are tied to another planet's lifeforce, but can exist on other planes. As for me, this curse made the exception that all Juks were to be left alive, and then personally killed.
John: Wait, curse?

Chapter 6: The Last pt. 3: Legend of a Curse

Monologue time! This is a story told by Birrath, explaining the curse.

Birrath: Thank you, Narrator.
'Dawww! :D
Birrath: Thousands of years ago, this island was more prosperous than any other. Teeming with life, the most harmonious being the Juks. The many aggressive beasts that roamed did try to kill our kind, but our defense mechanism was fear. Our size, coupled with our unpredictabilities made us fearsome. However, we did not kill. Well, maybe on accident, but never purposefully! Until one day, one of our kind... changed.

He grew stronger, more powerful, and worst of all... malevolent. Why, we don't know. He decided to use our defence mechanism as a weapon. He had claimed this planet for himself, so we had only one option left: revolt. We, and by we I mean ALL BEINGS ON THIS ISLAND, tried to bring him down from his throne, but he was too powerful. He cut off this world's lifeforce, killing all beings on this island, except us Juks, whom he decided were "too weak" and executed each and everyone personally. The Jukors, Jukits, Jukans, Jukites, Jukitits, and Jukorits, however, pleaded to him to let them live, and started worshipping him. He decided them either worthy or useful, and let them live, as well as taught them his ways and let them serve him.

No more monologue. Sorry, Birrath!

Birrath: It's fine.
Jess: Wait, who was the one who did this then?
Birrath: His name was, and still is...
???: Gurrath.
??? is another Juk, except well-dressed, wearing a metal kilt, metallic blades on his pincers, giant serrated hooks on his two upper jaw parts, three prongs on the end of his tail, metallic wings on his frilled mandibles, and holds a giant scythe. ??? stabs Birrath in the chest with the scythe.
???: And the worst part, he is your brother, and your killer.
Birrath dies and falls to the ground.
Mel: Wait... that scythe... the Harvester's Scythe... You're Gurrath!

Chapter 6: The Last pt. 4: Mod Mark Explains

Gurrath: Yes, and you shall come with me. NOW.
John: Ah, I'm going. I wanna see how this ends!
Noob: Same.
Mel: Ditto.
Jess: No way! We're not gonna just go because some god tells us!
Ava: I stand by the clan leader, as it is my programming.
Mod Mark teleports in.
Mod Mark: Sorry, this is a clan quest. The majority voted and you're going with Gurrath.
Jess: Ugh...
John, Mel, and Noob: Yey!

At the throne room...

Yukkah runs to Gurrath.
Yukkah: Sir! Humans have infiltra- oh, you caught them. Shall they be executed?
Gurrath: No, Yukkah. Besides, they can die and re-appear in a hub, they're unkillable.
Yukkah: Then why bring them in?
Gurrath: You know why. Now go back to overseeing the watchers.
Yukkah: Yes sir! *leaves*
John: This is getting good! Hey, Noob, pass me the popcorn.
Noob: Didn't bring any.
John: ...DANGIT NOOB! YOU KNOW I CAN'T LAST A SECOND WITHOUT MY GRAINS!
Mel: *kills Noob* Here. *hands John a sandwich*
John: THANK YOU! *eats the sandwich*
Gurrath: *sits on the throne* Exum du vahk djk laaaaaak!

Everyone teleports to a closed off area of the world. It is an underground laboratory with no exits and only a luminescent orb as a light. There are many pictures of creatures crossed off, others not. The ones not crossed off are held in cages, either alive, dying, or dead. There is an odd pedestal in the middle of a pool of a yellow liquid, which is in a glass container, with a vacuum tube on top of the container, which is connected to a vacuum, in the middle of the room.

John: Oh this is BETTER! *eating sandwich*
Noob: How did I get back here?
Mod Mark: It's a clan quest, all participants must come along.
Jess: Why are you here?
Mod Mark: Because whenever I explain something, someone gets on the news feed.
News: Hardvark just got 99 Herblore!
Gurrath: Enough chatter! MEET THE ERADICATOR! *points to a chair* sorry. THERE! *points to the middle of the room*
Noob: Hi Eradicator!

Chapter 6: The Last pt. 5: "Now... run."

Jess: So the device kills whatever is in it, and you're just gonna put us in it. We can just respawn!
John: HEY! Shh! This is getting good! *still eating sammich* wait, "sammich"?
Sorry, impulses. Gonna reverse that.
John: *reversed*
John: HEY! Shh! This is getting good! *still eating sandwich* thank you.
Gurrath: This device-
Ava: -takes any being's race identification, implements it into the yellow liquid (which is tymaic acid), magnetizes it to that species with infintessimal strength, and thus, goes straight to the being and sticks to it as well as dissolves it.
Gurrath: Yes! Excellent work, automaton!
Ava: Thank you.
Gurrath: And in case you think I'm fibbing, watch. *takes a reverse-Turoth (a rodent from Juk) and puts it in the machine. The acid shoots out of the container and into corners of the room, as many of those creatures inhabit this unclean lab.*
Mel: HOLY CRAP! I GOTTA GET ME ONE OF THOSE! SLAYER TASKS WILL BE SO MUCH EASIER!
Gurrath: And I'm pretty sure you're gonna guess what I'm gonna say next?
Noob: "Get in the machine"?
Gurrath: Oh, no! That would be too easy! I always love a good chase. The answer was "Now... run."
John: I think the correct saying is "Now... teleport."
Gurrath: What?
John: NOW!
Everyone breaks a Teleport Ardougne spell tablet, teleporting them away, except Ava, who spawns with the rest of the clan.
Gurrath: WHAT!?!?

At Ardougne...

Mel: Good idea bringing the teletabs, John! How did you get them in our inventory?
John: I learned a spell. It's called "Quick-give", where a player automatically transfers a selected item to another player.
Jess: How did I miss that?
John: I always find a sneak, without the wiki ;)

Back in the hidden laboratory at Juk...

Gurrath: NO! NOOO!!! NOOOOOHOHOHAHAHAHAAAAaaaa!
Yukkah teleports in.
Yukkah: Let me guess, that wasn't the machine?
Gurrath: Nope.
Yukkah: And the real one is elsewhere?
Gurrath: Yup.
Yukkah: Want some burgers?
Gurrath: OKAI!

Book End!

Quick Recap:

If you connect the Eelbug (which, I understand should have been given a better name), the Juk's Horror (which also doesn't have a good name, but is a step in the right direction), and the race of Juks, you can surmise that these were Gurrath in different forms. Basically either spying on or trying to drive out the Ragtag clan.

If you read the Birrath monologue, you can tell the Juks connected to Juk's lifeforce, the Juk. Gurrath eventually turned evil and cut off the Juk's island's lifeforce, yet the Juk's connection to the Juk was too strong, so Gurrath hunted down each Juk he could find, only leaving Birrath, his own sister, to survive on the island. Birrath eventually died when the Ragtag clan comes.

Gurrath's device, the Eradicator, magnetizes its acid to a specific race or lifeform once said lifeform is in it, then it releases the acid to wherever the creatures it identified are. The acid is even able to use planetary travel to get to its specified creature. Once all creatures identified by the Eradicator are killed with no trace, the acid magnetically returns to the device.

Book 4 is out now!

Book 4: Back to the Roots

Chapter 1: A Glitch in the System pt 1: Not Just a Bug

In Ardougne...
Jess: Glad we got out of that alive!
John: Yeah, but for some reason, I'm lagging a bit...
Ava: Major activity coming over near the Ranged Guild...

At the Ranged Guild...
A massive protest is occurring. Mod Jack is attempting to control the crowd.
Protester1: Give Gurrath back!
Protester2: We pay we say!
Mod Jack: People please calm down!
Protester3: Juk=w00t! You=n00t!
Mod Jack: We're sorry, it's just that we need to patch a bug in that area of the game! It's a really big one, too!
??? ???: *PM's Mel* Psst, Mel!
Mel: Huh? *goes over to ??? ???*
??? ???: *PMing* It's me, Mod Lee!
Mel: *PMing* Oh, Regicidal! What's going on?
Mod Lee: Well, you can clearly see the protest going on... but that's not what I'm telling you. What's going on isn't a bug, it's a virus!
Mel: Wow, good thing you're PMing me, otherwise the protesters would just panic! But why me specifically?
Mod Lee: Because you're good at figuring things out! Remember all that stuff during our fight?
Mel: Oh yeah! But I'm mainly good at figuring out combat oriented stuff!
Mod Lee: Exactly! Apparently the virus took the form of an attackable NPC. Not the smartest virus ever, but we have reason to believe that if we defeat it, we can find out who managed to get it there!
Mel: Can I bring some of my friends, too?
Mod Lee: Only that avatar. He's basically a living sonar!
Mel: Why only Ava?
Mod Lee: We can't afford to let any innocent players get a virus too! Plus there are only 3 Virus Hazmat suits.
Mel: 3?
Mod Lee: Silent's coming with us.
Mel: Ah, ok. But what if something happens to Ava?
Mod Lee: Don't worry, it's an NPC. So whaddaya say?
Mel: ...okay, I'll go. *not PMing* Hey Jess, can I borrow Ava?
Jess: Sure. Ava, could you go with Mel?
Ava: Yes. *goes to Mel*

At the portal entrance to Juk...

Mod Silent: Ready?
Mel: Yup. (This... will be interesting.)
