Well here is another chapter of madness, enjoy.



-- Darth C Wader -- 

Some people suffer from insanity. I enjoy every moment of it.

If violence doesn't solve your problems you're not using enough of it.

There is no such thing as too much overkill.

Of all the things I have lost -- I miss my mind and sanity the least.

     "First off, we need an objective to seek for."

Darth said, as they returned to the hotel room they

were using as a hideout. "Then we need to figure

out who's going to lead, what we do with our

prisoner, and short term plans."

     "I think I should be the leader, since I have

the most combat experience." Proclaimed Outlaw.

     "Want to lose the other eye, cyclops?"

threatened Andrew menacingly, as Chibi-Slacker

asked "You really want that frontal lobotomy, don't

you?"

     "Calm down, everyone. Outlaw, while I

normally would agree with you, we are dealing with

Thrawn here. I want as many random elements as

possible, so we'll just dice for who is leader and for

how many days, ok?" Suggested Darth.

     "I can see the reason in that," announced

Outlaw, "what about you, Andrew?"

     "Okay with me, Slacker?" Agreed Andrew.

     "Good idea as any I've heard so far."

Grumbled Chibi-Slacker.

     A few rolls of the dice later and Darth was

leader for a day.

     "Now, why do we need a goal to seek for? I

thought we were trying to return to our home

universe?" Queried Outlaw.

     "If we return home they will follow us, or at

least Cy will. I, for one, don't want my home as a

war zone." Darth replied.

     "What would you suggest? Killing them all?"

Countered Andrew.

     "That's what I was planing on doing

anyway." Outlaw announced.

     "Those sons of bitches must pay for doing

this to me." Chibi-Slacker added as he slammed a

magazine into his Desert Eagle.

     "Okay, next item on the list," continued

Darth, "what do we do with our prisoner?"

     "He knows too much, kill him." Outlaw

stated.

     "And how are you going to get rid of the

body?" Andrew asked.

     "Am I the only one who has a problem with

killing? Anyway if you kill him then just bring him to

some dark ally in the bad part of town. Give him a

drug overdose, then make it look like he bashed his

head in or something. Just make sure the brain is

destroyed or else Cy will just find what information

he wants there." Declared Darth.

     "Have him take a header from a tall building.

Maybe a construction site? An impact onto a stack

of steel I-beams should take care of his head pretty

well." Chibi-Slacker added.

     "And you're the one that has a problem with

killing?" Andrew asked with a slightly sick look on

his face. "We should just put him in a crate with

some food and put him on a ship to somewhere." 

     "That's a better plan." Darth remarked.

     "So let's do it." Muttered Outlaw.

     "So after that what do we do after that?"

Darth queried.

      Outlaw then suggested "Why don't you I go

to a doctor to see if Cy changed something besides

teaching you Japanese?"

     "I think that Cy would have us only discover

what he wants us to discover, but . . . " Darth said

not able to express his worst fears.

     "Sounds like a plan to me. Let's do it."

Chibi-Slacker expressed.

     However Outlaw suggested with a nasty grin

"Let's ask the prisoner some questions, first."



     ***



     In the other room of the hotel suite Outlaw

drugged up the prisoner and started the

interrogation.

     "Why were you carrying so many weapons?"

Asked Outlaw, starting the interrogation.

     "To ward off attackers." Replied the

drugged-up captive.

     "What kind of attackers?" Probed Outlaw.

     "Any kind." Answered the tech.

     "Unless you expected an army of demons,

you were carrying an awful lot of weapons."

     "Not demons, they stay clear of the warding

on the city. The undead however don't care about

the wards. At the moment there is only a vampire in

the city."

     At this answer Outlaws eye widened, and he

quickly questioned: "Are there more undead in this

world?"

     "Yes."

     "What type?" Grilled the now concerned

Outlaw.

     "Vampire, zombie, ghoul, various spirits,

and more."

     "Any other mythical creatures?" Asked

Outlaw with a feeling of dread.

     "Dragons, demons, hydras, chimeras,

dwarves, giants, orcs, trolls, succuba, hell-spawn,

minotaurs, werewolves ...."

     At that point Outlaw interrupted with "What

types of weapons are effective against them?"

     "Depends on what you're fighting. Most

things will be destroyed or harmed by thermal

detonator. However red dragons, some demons, and

some hell-spawn thrive on it. Similarly, silver will

harm or kill most things but dragons and demons are

immune to it-t. Blasters-s are pretty effective on

some weaker types of vampires-s." The tech slurred,

"Looookk prettyy colooorssss."

     Outlaw who knew further questioning was

useless once the prisoner reached this state got up

and left to tell the others. Afterwards they had a

little victory party for the day and went to bed.



     ***



     After executing Andrews plan for getting rid

of their prisoner, they went to a silversmith to coat

some knives and Outlaws Katana in silver. Then

they went to a doctor that Outlaw and Darth had

dug up in the two week period were the authors

were split up, anticipating the need for a good

doctor that could keep quiet.



     ***



     At the doctor's office, Darth was about to

undergo another test, however, as soon as the

doctor activated the powerful magnets that were

crucial to the scan, Outlaw was yanked aside by his

katana and other metal weapons that suddenly

decided that they wanted to be closer to that

attractive magnet. There was also a CRASH as the

window shattered, a CLANG as something

penetrated the steel blinds and a TOCK as a nasty

looking shaft embedded itself into the wall where

Outlaw had been standing a moment before.

     Needles to say Chibi-Slacker and Andrew,

who had been laughing at Outlaw immediately took

cover behind some big transformer. Darth was

slightly slower in reacting and almost got hit with

another on of those darts, as it was he was going to

have to get a new trench-coat. Outlaw had to wait

until the machine got shut off, which didn't take

long as the plasma bolt that destroyed Andrew's and

Chibi-Slacker's hiding place also cut off the power.

This caused Outlaw to drop quite suddenly, and just

in time, because then the machine Outlaw was so

attached to also got hit by a plasma bolt and

exploded. The authors got showered by shrapnel but

avoided any major injury, except for Darth's trench-

coat which was a total loss.

     By now most of the cover in the room was

destroyed, and the door was on the other side of the

room. Lying on the floor, our heroes tried to crawl

to the door, but that plan was abandoned when a

grenade was thrown through the now open window.

They made a break for it, narrowly avoiding a few

more arrows as they barely outran the green gas

from the grenade.

     As they ran out of the back door, Outlaw

was hit in the arm by a shaft fired from above,

causing him to drop his gun. Looking up they saw

the descending form of a very large black predator.

As it landed with a loud crash, Darth was so

shocked to see Hunter that he forgot to defend

himself as a punch sent him flying. Outlaw didn't

have time to aim his shotgun before a kick broke it

and sent him flying, as well. Chibi-Slacker managed

to aim his Desert Eagle at Hunter before being

booted away. Simultaneously, Hunter also struck

Andrew, who managed to hit Hunter in the leg with

his rifle as he flew. Outlaw being fairly used to

suffering a major beating by now ignored the pain

and used his pistol before he had stopped skidding

across the pavement. Most of the shots went wide,

but it distracted Hunter for a precious second in

which Chibi-Slacker aimed his gun back on Hunter

and fired. Hunter charges Chibi-Slacker in what

appeared to be berserker rage, and spin kicked him

towards Outlaw distracting the authors while he

retreated.

     "Shit," exclaimed Outlaw, "he's getting

away."

     "We have to get away, he undoubtedly

called for re-enforcements already." Said Darth.

And so the group fled with Outlaw carrying the

unconscious Chibi-Slacker.

     The authors decided to take the car a person

on the other side of the street was just opening, they

threw that person out of the car as Nemesis and

Hunter came after them in their monster truck with

screeching tires.



     ***



     "Are they still after us?" Asked Outlaw who

was driving in a way that most countries outlawed.

     "Yes." Andrew answered, discarding

another rifle. "I never thought Nemesis was such a

capable driver."

     "#@%$! How can he keep dodging those

shots? Hey Andrew, do you have another clip for

the plasma rifle?" Darth inquired.

     "No," Andrew answered, "here take this."

     "A rifle? You out of missile launchers or

something?"

     "Yep. How can he keep teleporting the

entire car?"

     "No clue, does the Spore have any weapons

left?" Darth asked, a wording he would regret later.

     "Don't call me that!" The newly awakened

Chibi-Slacker said, "Oh, my head hurts."

     "Hey, Slacker you have any heavy weapons?

We need them." Andrew elucidated.

     "Oh sure here." He answered, handing

Andrew a big GEP (Guided Explosive Projectile)

launcher, "Who are we shooting at?"

     "Nemesis and Hunter." Answered Darth,

"But we aren't hitting them, Nemesis keeps

teleporting the entire car."

     Chibi-Slacker stared in wonderment for a

moment when the monster-truck Hunter and

Nemesis were using teleported 10 feet into the air

allowing a GEP to pass harmlessly under it. Outlaw

had to rely on more conventional means to dodge

another round of tranquilizer darts from Hunter.

     "Hey is it just me or is Mallet-space getting

smaller?" Chibi-Slacker asked while taking out

another missile launcher for himself and a third for

Darth.

     "I'm feeling the same thing, but I thought it

was just because I removed all those weapons."

Andrew substantiated.

     "We're approaching the Slaying Ground. A

mountain that various monsters always fight about

because spirits, demons, and some other things can't

or won't approach it. Teleportation, subspace, and

telepathy don't work there and some types of magic

are weakened or eliminated. Or at least that's what

it says on this map." Darth explained while showing

them the map he had found in the car.

     "Oh oh." Was what both Andrew and Chibi-

Slacker thought of that. They could feel the things

in subspace by now. Seeing that they had left city

limits two hours ago they both threw everything

they had at Nemesis and Hunter. Both due to the

increase in shots and slower teleportation the truck

got hit more. After a few hits Darth notices a

shimmer that appears sometimes, he calls the others

attention to it. A few shots at the shimmer and the

holographic cloaking field dissolves. This greatly

increases the accuracy of the three shooters, because

now they actually know were to shoot. Of course

Andrew and Slacker kept the best weapons in the

car for later.



     ***



     As they approached the mountain, they

could see a huge battle going on. Red dragons flew

high above and swooped down spewing fire and

attacking with claws. When the authors came even

closer, they also see a ground battle. On closer

inspection the ground battle could be seen to consist

of orcs and trolls against various kinds of chimeras,

most of the chimeras carried weapons and all of the

orcs did, when one group gained superiority the

other two ganged up on them to crush them. Of

course one of our intrepid heros came up with a

plan.

     "I bet we could lose our pursuers in there."

Observed a very brave and very foolish Darth.

     "Are you crazy?" Andrew and Chibi-Slacker

asked at the same time.

     "Would you rather face Nemesis and

Hunter?" Darth inquired.

     "The battle it is." Outlaw uttered before

dogging a few dragon claws, sadly this put them

right in the line of fire from the chimeras shooting at

the dragons.

     However the heavily damaged car didn't last

long enough to drive them through the battle, a well

placed shot from Hunter destroyed the engine more

or less in the middle of it. Our heroic group tried to

fight their way toward the other side of the feud, but

shots coming from everywhere make retreat toward

the mountain the only option.



     ***



     Hunter just tore into everything that moved,

a ball of plasma taking out a troll there, his blades

decapitating two dragons at a time, his discs were

cutting down orcs like Yuri's bloody cards would

do with people if their cruise time was longer and

ever used in a crowd of 10'000+. Nemesis,

somewhat weakened by the effects of the mountain,

didn't kill quite as many things, were Hunter tore

two chimeras apart with his bare hands, Nemesis

only killed a small group of chimeras with some

black lightening.

     Searing bolts of plasma shot by Andrew tore

into the orcs who responded with a barrage of

lasers, arrows, and bullets. Chibi-Slacker used a

particle gun thrice her/his size to shoot at the

dragons, their claws missed the puny author by

scant millimeters. Outlaw was finishing off a group

of Trolls that came to close with his sword, having

used up all other ammunition a while ago. Darth

was firing short bursts from an Uzi Andrew gave

him, but because of the recoil he couldn't hit

Nemesis or Hunter.

     "$#!^! Give me another weapon or more

bullets, quick." Darth exclaimed.

     "Sorry, I'm all out." Andrew replied, fifing

his last shot.

     "I only have my Dessert Eagle," Chibi-

Slacker answered, "and I'm not giving that one

away."

     "AAHHH!!" Outlaw screamed as a dragon

hit him with a tail swipe, causing him to drop his

sword. But before the dragon could have a snack, a

few shots from some chimeras tore into it. The

dragon redirected his attention to the chimeras when

they suddenly both came under fire from some orcs.

     While this is happening Nemesis had finally

caught up with the authors, yelling "Now you die!"

     While firing a huge Ki blast, barely missing

the authors who drop to the ground. The Ki blast

continued onward to blow a hole in the mountain.

     "A cave!" Darth yelled, "Retreat to the

cave."

     Nemesis then had to defend himself against a

dragon, while this was no challenge to him it

distracted him from the authors..

     With the authors in no immediate combat,

and Hunter and Nemesis effectively blocking the

other creatures from advancing and vice versa the

authors managed to flee into the cave.

     "What now?" Andrew asked.

     "You die." Nemesis answered and shot into

the cave, however because of poor aim the shot hit

the cave ceiling which collapsed, blocking the

authors off from the outside.



     ***



     "I assume my holographic-projector and my

teleport-enhancer worked?" Came the voice of Cy

over the radio of the monster truck.

     "Yes, are you now going to tell us why you

wanted them in the mountain?" Hunter inquired in a

threatening manner.

     "I want something that is in the mountain,"

replied Cy, "and I am going to get it."

     "And what is that, and why is it so

important? Why did I need to interrupt them when

they were at the doctor? Why couldn't we just go in

and get it? Well?" Hunter growled getting

increasingly agitated.

     "Sore wa himitsu desu." Cy rebutted and

disconnected.

     "What the hell does that mean?" Hunter

yelled, frustrated about not being able to hunt.

     "That's a secret." Nemesis stated. In a flash

Hunters clawlike hands were almost around

Nemesis' throat, held back only by Nemesis' much

smaller hands.

     "I don't care if it's a secret, tell me."

     "Calm yourself. I already told you sore wa

himitsu desu means that's a secret."

     "Cy will pay for playing games with me!"

Swore Hunter.

     "Anger clouds the mind and that's an

advantage for your enemy ." Nemesis said, sounding

bored.

     "I need to hunt." Hunter returned.



     ***



     "Where were you?" Nemesis asked a few

hours later, as Hunter returned a few hours later, a

large haunch of meat thrown over his shoulder.

     "Found some dragons, had some fun."

Hunter replied, in a much better mood, but worse

shape, than when he left. "Hungry?"



     ***



     Warily, the group went further into the cave,

they were even more on their guard when the walls,

floor and ceiling were suddenly made of a smooth

and shiny material. At the same time the hallway

started to slope upward a little.

     After ten minutes of walking they saw a light

around the corner ahead. They tried to sneak closer

to it, but then they heard the terrifying yell that

shook them to their core:

     "INTRUDERS! Yaj, bring me some

matches."

     Barely was the command spoken then the

group of fearful authors heard someone empty a

bottle of something. A few seconds later, that

turned out to be some kind of combustible liquid as

it was ignited. Due to the downward slope of the

hallway that liquid was approaching the authors.

     "We can't go back, let's see if this stuff is

really fireproof." And fitting actions to words Darth

led the way, covering his face with his arms and

hoping that the salesman had told the truth about

these clothes being fireproof. However Andrews

long green hair was not fireproof.

     "AAAHH, FIRE, FIRE." and other such

yells could be heard as Andrew ran around in circles

trying to extinguish the fire in his hair. The room

Andrew was running around in still had the same

black material for walls, and for the tables and

benches in the large circular room that looked a lot

like a chemistry lab with two doors, out of which

the authors were running, and one on the other side

of the lab. In addition to the authors there were two

other people in the room, one was about the size of

Chibi-Slacker, and looked like a normal black-haired

boy, with the exception that he had a beard. The

other thing was also black-haired and was about 1.5

m tall, this one was female, but with long fangs, her

hands almost claws, and instead of eyeballs she had

flames. When the female one started to speak, it was

a voice worse than Naga's laugh, and the same one

that had screamed 'intruders' last time.

     "Oh my, I didn't expect that you would

return lady Pluto, but now I must kill you as you

have ordered me to. Yaj, give me the Aide-mallet."

     Yaj took a harmless looking baton and

passed it to the female and then he attacked.

     "Here, catch!" He said to Darth as he threw

some test-tubes with liquids which Darth narrowly

dodged, letting them fly towards Chibi-Slacker.

He/she evaded most of it, but a drop fell on her/his

shoe and that shoe promptly dissolved.

     The female wasn't sitting still during that

time, after she caught the aide-mallet, she attacked

Outlaw who was fatigued, but nonetheless careful of

the impotent seeming weapon. He was far more

nimble after a missed strike made a large crater in

one of the walls. Chibi-Slacker, the only one with a

weapon other than a knife, tried to shoot Yaj with

his Desert Eagle, but kept missing because Yaj

would stand and run on walls, the ceiling or even

thin air as easily as he moved on the floor. And since

Yaj kept throwing chemicals at them and avoided

close combat with the already tired fighters they

couldn't help Outlaw. Then Yaj was hit by some

burning substance, thrown by the recovering

Andrew, and started burning a bright blue.

     Yaj ignored this completely, however this

distracted the exhausted Darth long enough to be hit

by some burning paste with powder in it. Darth tried

to rub it off, but he just spread it out, then suddenly

the paste exploded knocking Darth in a shelf with

chemicals. Luckily nothing exploded, but some

things caught fire. Darth, not wanting to repeat

Andrews experience, jumped out of the burning pile,

mixing more chemicals together.

     The resulting explosion threw him into Yaj,

burning Darth badly, but this gave Andrew time to

help Outlaw with his attacker. Throwing some acid

on her to catch her attention Andrew called out:

     "Who are you? What are you?"

     "I'm called Shulmainia, and I'm an

eversoul." She responded while swinging her

weapon at Andrew. "And you're not Pluto; She

would know this. Who are you?"

     "Curiosity is a distraction, so why should I

take away my advantage?" Answered Andrew.

     In the meantime, Outlaw had been trying to

see if he could find a weapon at the other side of the

lab, but as soon as he came near the doorway, both

Yaj and Shulmainia attacked him. Concluding from

this behavior that there was something important on

the other side of the doorway the authors tried to

get in.

     They succeeded after five minutes of heavy

fighting. While Andrew hit Shulmainia with a bucket

of acid. Chibi-Slacker hit Yaj with a shot right in the

eye. Of course Shulmainia wasn't injured much by

the acid and Yaj just jumped back into battle none

the worse for wear, but it had given Darth and

Outlaw enough time to exit the lab and look around

in this new room.

     The first thing Outlaw noticed in the small

square room was a  corpse slumped against the wall. 

The deceased man was dressed in Samurai armor

and propped in his hand was a sheathed Katana.

Outlaw 1 made a beeline for the dead warrior and

halted at a respectful distance.  Bowing low he said,

"Please forgive me for this, but I need your sword to

kill a demon."

     Quickly yet reverently Outlaw retrieved the

weapon from its owner's grasp. He then bowed to

the sword before him.  "Please lend me your

strength."

     So saying he swiftly slid the sword out of its

sheath and ran for the door.

     Darth was momentarily distracted by

Outlaw's actions.  "I had no idea he could move like

that."  Darth said as he watched Outlaw seem to

blur from pure speed as he ran from the room to

rejoin the battle.

     With a new sense of determination Outlaw

left the room again to help Andrew and Chibi-

Slacker. To everyone's amazement he could hold his

own against both Yaj and Shulmainia for a short

time in which Andrew carried Chibi-Slacker into the

room.

     Meanwhile Darth had examined a long

metallic-gray staff with a curved blade at each end,

balanced on a small green pen stuck in a rock wall

with lots of weird symbols.

     "Hmm," Darth thought, "Where have I seen

this design before?" Then it hit him, the pen was a

senshi transformation pen, Pluto's pen to be exact.

     "Here Andrew, catch." Yelled Darth as he

took the transformation pen and threw it to Andrew

while at the same time taking the staff in the other

hand. At this moment several things happened, one

Andrew caught the transformation pen, the staff

turned pitch black with blood red images and

symbols on the blades, Outlaw was forced into the

room, and a dark shadow came out of the staff and

followed the transformation pen. After reaching the

transformation pen the shadow hurled itself into

Chibi-Slacker. They might have expected this had

they known that those symbols on the wall were to

contain or banish demons, specifically a more

powerful version of the spell normally used to

banish a minor hell. It was this spell which also

caused the unique properties of the region.

     This caused Chibi-Slacker to grow into

Black Lady, all his/her wounds to be healed, the

rabbit-ear hairstyle to come back in all of its pink

glory and it initiated a battle of wills between Chibi-

Slacker and the shadow.

     

     ***



     Darkness, absolute sensory depravation. The

unbearable silence is shattered by Slacker. "Where

am I?" 

     Then he noticed that he was back in his own

body, and that he was not alone. Two glowing red

eyes were steadily advancing toward him. Slacker

felt fear, and a need to defend himself.

     "I gave you back your body aren't you going

to thank me?" It asked in a voice that sounded like

the yowls of things being devoured alive.

     "W-w-who are you? W-what are you?"

Slacker asked, unable to keep the fear from his

voice.

     It still advanced on Slacker, not even

slowing. Then it struck. In less time than it took to

blink it had a hand, claw, whatever on Slackers

throat. Small tentacles came off and started

wrapping around Slackers head.

     Suddenly Slacker was engulfed by a bright

light and turned into Chibi-Slacker again. The

Ginzousho was hovering before her/him, bathing all

in a bright pinkish withe.

     "AAAAHHH!" The thing screamed in agony

as it got burned by the Ginzousho's light. The

tentacles that didn't sink into Slacker fast enough

were burned off by the light. Then Slacker felt

something odd, it felt as if most of the bits and

pieces of the tentacles in him started to flow to his

hair.



     ***



     Banished from Slackers body, but leaving

some of its energy behind. It reached for the one

carrying its staff, unfortunately Darth didn't have

any super-powered magical items beside the

demon's staff.

     "I AM SLAYER AND I WILL SLAY ALL

AND THE WORLD SHALL DROWN IN

BLOOD!" Bellowed Darth, which kind of hinted to

the other authors that Darth wasn't in control.

     "All must serve Cy!" Similarly explained to

the others that neither Darth nor Slayer were in

control at that point. This went on for quite a while,

during which Outlaw closed the door after some

bolts of black lightning, courtesy of Slacker, drove

Yaj and Shulmainia slightly back. As Slacker tried to

fry Darth for releasing the demon and giving her the

dreaded hairstyle back noticed however was that it

also cost him most of the 'useful' energy.

     "Outlaw, could you cut off these . . .  Things

with that sword of yours?" Slacker asked gesturing

to her ponytails.

     "Sure." Outlaw replied, but when he tried to

cut the odangos off the hair regrew.

     "What, how?" Slacker asked bewildered.

     "My guess is that the Ginzousho put a part

of that demon's energy into regrowing your hair."

Andrew guessed.

     "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Slacker cried.



     ***



     Outlaw suggested that they sleep in here, the

small room next to the lab, before going out again,

Darth's yells have subsided almost two hours ago,

and his mumblings had finally stopped about half an

hour ago. That's why when Darth suddenly

speaking everyone was shocked.

     "I am Darth!" He said with conviction, "I'm

also Slayer." There was a trace of uncertainty in his

voice but he continued on, "And I'm Sleeper too."

The doubt was now clear in his voice, "We must

slay Thrawn and his armies, but protect Cy." He

was back to totally confident at that. "This is our

weapon," he said swinging his staff around, "and

any who seek to take it from us shall be slain by it.

We are Darth." He stated one last time as if to

reassure himself.

     "What's wrong, partner?"Asked Outlaw

who was having watch duty at the moment.

     "Nothing? Yes, no, maybe so. We'll pull

through." Darth replied. By now the others were

awake too.

     "What do you mean, give me a straight

answer! Or else..." Shrieked Slacker.

     "We did." Darth answered.

     "Ooookay, do you feel ready to crush our

enemies?" Asked Andrew.

     "Our blades shall slay all, one blade to

darkness, one blade to light." Was the cryptic reply

from Darth.

     "What do you mean?" Slacker inquired,

more angry than normal because of the hair.

     "One blade shall slay all creatures of

darkness, for its blade is enchanted with holy, fire,

lightning, earth, and light. The other blade shall slay

those of the light for it is enchanted with water,

wind, darkness, death(1), and soul pulverize."

Explained Darth, still totally, and unreasonably,

calm. Deceptive calm, for in Darth's mind the

torrent still raged and, while muffled, it was an

uneasy balance at best.

(1) death is more against spirits, angels, and other

such bodiless type beings.
