Chapter40 - Debriefing

Moka's debriefing room, an hour later

"Alright, I understand that you didn't manage to kill any of Dorkstein's men... but did you learn anything?" Make asked the four people in the room; Flare, Roy, Mane, and Kingnoob.

"Nothing" Kingnoob replied, shaking his head. "Derponet attacked us, Insandel attacked Blue, and one of the dark beasts attacked Jessica. That's it. Well, I did manage to kill Bulk and Flare's dark half."

"Good..." Moka replied, nodding. "But that's not what we needed. Those beasts are just gonna threaten more lives if we don't do something."

"I do something" Kingnoob growled, standing up. "I'm the only one that can–besides Chuckie–and I am not risking anyone's life for monsters I created!"

"That is understandable, but even you don't have the strength to weaken AND kill all on your own" Mane butted in, Flare and Moka both shooting him a dirty look.

"I say I just burn the crap out of them, then captain shadows over here can do the rest" Flare unenthusiastically suggested, leaning back in his chair. Kingnoob was about to turn to argue, but Mane beat him to it by knocking the chair over.

"Both of you, stop being children" Kingnoob growled, turning back to Moka. "I am going alone, end of discussion. you might be the leader around here, but whe it comes to safety I make the shots."

Moka sighed, and nodded at this. "Then at least take Chuckie so you are at least not alone" He ordered. He received a shake from Kingnoob's head, and that was the end of it. Kingnoob walked out, and Flare quickly followed.

"He probably knows what he's doing" Roy said, having not spoken through the entire argument.

"That still doesn't mean he knows what he's doing." Mane replied, standing up to leave.

"Keep your eyes open" Moka sighed before he left. "As long as those things are loose, there's no telling what they'll do. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter41 - Carnelius Nar

Kingnoob stormed down the hall, determination and pride powering him. ~They know they can't do anything... why do they offer?~ he thought to himself, walking down a random corridor. Something was driving him to the room, and he didn't realize because he was to deep in his thoughts.

After a few minutes of walking, he entered a darkened room and he suddenly became aware of where he was. "Wait, why did I go this way!?" Kingnoob asked, beginning to back away.

"I was about to say the same thing" Moka's voice came from behind Kingnoob. "But I guess I know the reason." He walked to a wall, and placed his hand on a small incision. A small rumble followed, and fire blew from the statues lining the walls, engulfing the torches hung on the walls. When the flames died down, the torches were left lit.

The room turned out to be an underground dome, and the rock had been smoothed by something. ~I must have been descending without realizing it~ Kingnoob thought while looking around the room.

The west wall was covered in odd symbols that looked like an attempt at a picture, and an old wooden ladder lay broken on the ground near it. statues lined the edges of the cavern, all facing to the side–to light the torches. The eastern wall had a stone bookshelf, built into the wall. It was filled with old scrolls and tattered books.

The far wall was covered by a darker layer of stone, suggesting something was under it. In the center of the room was something like a display case. In it, an old and large sword sat, dust and cobwebs covering it. The case itself was obviously hardened magic, and just by looking at it you could tell you could not get through.

"Wh- what is this place?" Kingnoob asked, walking deeper into the cave.

"This i- was a relic to the war lord Carnelius Nar... a tyrant even more devastating that you were." Moka replied. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter42 - Carnelius Nar 2

"Greater... devastating" Kingnoob said to himself, the words echoing in his head. "Who was he, exactly."

"Rumors have it he was your father, only because you were both warlords. But he was human, and you are shadow. Rest assured that the rumors are a lie." Moka answered.

"Yah, that will help me sleep better" Kingnoob growled, walking up to the case with the sword. He reached to touch it, but he was zapped before he could. He turned back to Moka, his face demanding a story. "This was his sword, wasn't it?"

"You catch on fast... but I might as well start from the begining...

...Carnelius Nar was raised in a middle class family, but was a bit of an anger disorder. He was also extremely competitive... so he always trained to be the best with everything. He was friendless... and apparently flawless, mostly. He would kill anyone who challenged him, but let a select few live... only to suffer the rest of there lives.

Within days after discovering the artifacts you know as 'the orb, cube, and pyramid' he had already conquered two cities. By the end of the week, all of Gielnor. No one dare disobey him, and no one could ever successfully assassinate him. He trusted no one, and never had an heir. He was strong, but still human. Fifty years afterhis reign began, he died of age. Gielnor was in peace days later...

...I discovered this room and did a little 'homework'" Moka said, taking a breath. "This sword was sealed here, and only he or his family could remove it. Luckily, he had none-"

"But Derponet, he can just-" Kingnoob began, before Moka cut him off.

"The ONLY way to resurrect him would be a sacrifice of energy as powerful, or more, as himself. No one was or is, so we're safe" Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter43 - Carnelius Nar 3

"How do you know all of this?" Kingnoob asked, walking towards the far wall.

"The books, they explained everything. Everything is in there from the sacrifice requirements to how he conquered the lands so fast." Moka answered, turning to leave.

Kingnoob glared at him, and turned to the bookshelves, reaching for the first one he saw. "Don't touch, they are very old. I broke two just by touching, and don't want to risk anymore"

Kingnoob growled lightly, but followed Moka out. The torches blew out behind them, and the door shut itself. As Kingnoob and Moka left the hall, a pair of glowing red eyes appeared at the door. The eyes merged with the shadows, and a lanky yet strong figure took its place.

The darkness beast turned to the door, and opened it, slipping inside. It could see perfectly–despite the low light–and ran over to the far wall. It placed its hands on it, causing it to shake.

Ancient pivots could be heard turning, and pressure released from a previously unseen crack in the wall. The two slates moved to the sides, revealing a massive diagram on the wall.

'NAR' was painted across the top of the wall, and under it was a picture of a pot of lava. Just over it were three slates, each a different color. One red, one purple, and one silver. The creature cackled, placing three of its fingers on the three slates, and they all glowed and pushed into the wall.

The beast jumped back, and the wall turned on its side, creating a small passage just large enough to walk through. It did, and found itself in a large chamber, a pot of lava right under a small cliff jutting out of the adjacent wall. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter44 - Arquero

"You stay here, it's farther away from the others and much more 'homely'" An NCOR recruit informed Jessica as he opened the door to a dorm room. The others had already taken all the other rooms, and the only one large enough for her to bunk with was Chuckie's. She chose to have the last spare room which was normally for 'royal guests'.

"Thank you" She replied to the recruit, and walked inside, the door shutting behind her. She placed her bag on the floor, and pulled her hood down, revealing her pointed–elven–ears. She walked over to a window, and stared up at the moon. She stared for a few minutes before finally getting into the bed inside the room. She quickly fell asleep, her back to the window.

Things settled down soon after she fell asleep, others 'hitting the hay' or still eating(Authors Note: Guess who). No one heard the slight rustling around the building, however. Hours passed, and the rustling had since stopped. Instinct awoke Jessica, and she lay awake.

A slight snap caught her attention and she sat up, looking at the window. Nothing was there, and she slowly lied back down. Three harsh thumps followed, and she sat frozen in the bed, afraid to move. A minute later, a harsh crash could be heard and the wall imploded, the same beast that attacked her in the forest entering the room.

The screamed, and leaped out of her bed and towards the door–which was locked shut. The beast–Arquero–lifted its massive black bow and loaded three arrows into it. It took aim at the terrified Jessica, and pulled back the string.

A hiss came from the hole in the wall, and Flare flew into the room, two fireballs erupting from his palms and into the creatures back. Arquero roared, and spun towards Flare, swiping hard at him. Flare remained still,a smirk on his face, and Arquero's massive hand phased harmlessly through him. "Good shot" Flare taunted, another ball of fire flickering to life in his palm.

Chapter45 - Arquero 2

Arquero roared, stretching its massive arms to its bow, and quickly sliding three arrows into it. Flare aimed an attack, and let it loose, barely managing to knock the arrows from its hands. It roared again, grabbing a rock from the ground and hurling it at Flare.

Jessica's eyes flashed Blue, and she pulled her wrists backwards, water from the bushes outside coming towards her and catching the rock, placing it gently on the ground. Both turned to the massive brute, and raised there arms in an attack position. Before Flare could get a good look at Jessica, she pulled her hood back up–covering her ears.

Arquero roared again, rapidly beginning to fire arrows. Flare shot blast after blast, destroying the arrows but one slipped by.

Another arrow flew under Flares arm and took the arrow near killing him out. Arquero turned towards the archer, but only found two red and black whips swinging down at his face. It roared, and stumbled back a few feet, and shook the pain off. It opened its eyes to be greeted by Wave, and then an array of explosions.

Wave jumped back, hurling his whips like chainsaws at Arquero. The whips smacked into its arms, and swung harmlessly around them. Player jumped from his cover and towards Blue, and Wave quickly joined them.

"Mindless humans" It hissed with an echo, and raised its bow, rapidly firing three shots. A red hide appeared in front of the three, and they found Chuckie had taken the blows–without taking damage. Arquero hesitated for a second, then followed by loading its bow again.

Chuckie roared–sounding a lot more threatening that ever before–and tackled Arquero, tearing his bow from his hands. He studied Arquero for a second, then leaped off and a black beam flew from each of his claws, tearing through Arquero. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter46 - Accusations

Jessica panted, falling to the floor. "I'm glad that's over" She sighed, still staring at the ground. "I've never been so scared before"

"Even when the Tikret attacked?" Lizzy asked as she and Kingnoob entered the room. Mane and Roy quickly followed them.

Jessica just sighed in response, and got to her feet. "I'm just lucky hothead over here was able to get over so fast." She said, pointing at Flare, who blew smoke from his nostrils in response.

"What the hell is going!?!" Moka asked as he stormed into the room, Milkshake and Mk following him in.

"Your 'impenetrable' fortress isn't impenetrable enough" Kingnoob barked in response, pointing at Arquero's corpse. Moka eyed it for a second with curiosity, then shock.

"There must be an explanation... nothing that lethal would be able to get a mile within this area without us knowing it" He responded, walking over to the corpse.

"Well, it did. I don't think it's as safe here as you claim it is" Flare barked, Roy and Milkshake both shooting him a glare.

"Fine, we'll up security and personally guard the rooms if it makes you feel more comfortable!" Moka roared, angered at the accusations being made. Chuckie said nothing, just glared at Moka, studying him.

"No one got hurt, so that's all that matters" Jessica suddenly interrupted. "So let's not get heated over it, and just get back to sleep... the room is destroyed" She finished with a sigh, knowing her room was busted.

"You can take mine... I won't need it..." Chuckie offered, and walked out of the hole in the wall.

"What's his problem?" Flare asked, chuckling slightly. "he not much of a killer?"

"No..." Kingnoob responded. "Somethings bugging him... something we need to let him figure out on his own." Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter47 - Illusions

Chuckie walked outside, taking a deep breath of fresh air. ~Either he is lucky, or they are stupid~ He thought to himself, and a very slight rustle caught his ear. He turned to where he heard it coming from, and stared at it for a few seconds. He turned away from it, and walk a few yards deeper into the forest.

"I know you're there, do not try to hide." he growled, and there was another rustle. A purple goo slid out of the bushes, and edged its way to the demons feet. It began to bubble, and grow. It obtained human features, which slowly became more elaborate.

It took a female form, and color came to her. When the transformation was finally complete, Salina was bowing at Chuckie's feet. "Forgive me, but I did not want to give the 'heroes' any clue of my presence. "She apologized to Chuckie.

"It is no problem, and you need not bow to me, we are partners not master and servant." Chuckie growled, slowly pacing.

"I am sorry ma- Blackrun." Salina apologized again, bowing her head.

Chuckie cackled, and his flesh began to crawl, his form shrinking. His body became pitch black, but his head seemed look more of a mask–his eyes and mouth represented a humans. Two stubs protruded from his back, and erupted into wings, which he folded down on his back.

His claws became fingers, and he lost any and all remaining demon qualities. "They have no clue... they honestly think that I'm that fool Chuckie."

Salina cackled slightly with him, then proceeded. "The Admiral and sorceress have been slain, the attack lead by a Commander named Cannon."

Blackrun growled for a second, thinking. "Take my place, make sure they suspect nothing. I will take care of this 'commander' situation'" Blackrun ordered, leaping into the air and his wings doing the rest.

Salina nodded as he flew off, and her skin crawled and body grew until she was an exact copy of Chuckie. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter48 - Illusions 2

A hiss came from behind Agilidad–the beast that broke into the underground Carnelius Nar chamber–and it swung around. A man walked into the room the same way Agilidad had, and stopped in front of him. "Arquero was slain... you are lucky you have not been" The man–whose face was hidden by his cloak–snarled at Agilidad.

"I follow orders to come here... orders from you. Tell me not if I am lucky" Agilidad responded in a low voice. It turned its back, and looked up the wall. "Sacrifice?" it hissed.

"Soon... we need to see if they are truly ready. Until then I want to and the other five of your kind to take out any and all allies of them, including the Dark king." The cloaked figure barked, pointing at the exit.

Agilidad bowed his head, and walked to the exit wall, which opened automatically. When it finally finished opening, Chuckie(Salina) was standing on the other side. Agilidad pointed at the cloaked figure, and ran out.

"Blackrun is taking care of another issue, I am taking his place." Salina informed the cloaked man.

"Alright" he replied grumpily, shoving past her. "Make sure you are as secretive as him, or I'll personally let the demon go, directing him straight to you"

Salina bowed her head, and followed him out, the wall sealing shut behind them.

---

"LET ME OUT!!!" Chuckie roared from inside Derponet's tower, pulling with all his might on his binds, to no avail.

"Looks like you've lost this battle" The Servants voice laughed from somewhere in the room.

"Let me out or I'll personally rip you a-" Chuckie roared, before his body was surged with a blast of lightning. He fell as far as his binds would allow, and panted.

"Resistance is futile" Derponet laughed as he and the Servant approached his cell from the shadows.

"You made the mistake of betraying us all those years ago... and you're 'finally' getting what's been coming to you" Derponet growled.

"Do.. your worst" Chuckie spat in response, feeling another bolt of lightning. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Chapter49 - Ruse(1/2)

Everything settled down about an hour later, but by then sleep was impossible. Everyone–except Grazelda–lay awake in there beds, to shocked at what had happened to fall back asleep.

"Impenetrable... mile.." Jessica muttered to herself, trying to piece things together. "Something that big couldn't possibly get in undetected... and even if it did how could it destroy that wall?" She asked herself. "Unless... everything Moka's saying is a lie..." She sat up after her last statement.

Suddenly the door slammed shut, and the windows slammed down. Jessica froze, and looked around, but saw nothing. "...Attack" She nervously muttered, shaking fearfully.

---

Player faintly heard the slamming of a door, and flew out of his bed, barely dodging a knife that had fallen from the ceiling. He raced to where his bow was and grabbed it, and ran into the hall where he met up with Blue and Milkshake.

"Something's wrong" Blue panted, looking around. "Half the doors are locked, and footsteps are-" he said before a massive black paw swooped out from the shadows and grabbed him around the mouth, pulling him back.

Player gasped, and raised his bow, firing it into the darkness. He only got the response of the arrow piercing the wall. Milkshake held his hand up, a small fireball appearing in it and lighting up the area. Neither the attacker nor Blue was there.

---

Grazelda awoke on his own, his instinct telling him to roll. Normally he acted with logic not instinct, but something inside drove him to do it, and he did, a blast of red energy tearing through where he had been.

He flew to his feet and turned and fired at the only other person who could make an attack that power: Fostarcit. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !
