'''Traditions Don't Go Well With Cruel Laws''' is the 16th Episode of Season 3B of the ''SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles'' series. The Shell Lodgers are called into helping the Heroes Act in the AUU in another mission on a planet called Sigrus involving humanoid grasshoppers called Titanoids, which have long ago been civilized in large cities until being terrorized by a species of hostile mindless worms called Sigrozoans, which spread diseases and wiped out nearly 30% of the Titanoid species, forcing them to build most of their cities on AFTs (Artificial Flying Terrains). Vowing to never return to the planet's surface, which they called 'Devil's Ground', they developed a Darwinist rite-of-passage to prove an adolescent's survival and adaptability by entering the Devil's Ground, and killing a single Sigrozoan, and those who either failed or never got a kill to prove it within 48 hours were banished by law. One such young prince warrior, [[Kilttron]], a proud and honest warrior of the warrior queen [[Jegron]], is going to through such a rite-of-passage to go after an infamous Sigrozoan named '[[Grom-Moroious]]' the Gigantic. However, Klittron was always bothered on why their home planet was named after the Sigrozoans and not something based on their race. He gets that answer from an unlikely source: A surprisingly sentient Grom. Grom told him that Sigrus once belonged to Sigrozoans, who despite being carnivores and are rather huge, are very peaceful and tolerant to even the most disliked of races. However, after the real home planet of the Titanoids, "Titanmorna", was conquered by a hostile race of bug-hating lemur creatures called Daobassas, the Sigrozoans and the Titanoids had negotiated about them living with each other until a plan is made to get the Daobassas to leave since force is OBVIOUSLY out of the question thanks to the Daobassans being known for their fierce millaterry, but a malevolent wizard king, Klittron's own father, [[Greybeardo the Tricky]], corrupted his own queen and race to attack the Sigros, and cursed a majority of Sigros to become violent except the likes of Grom, and made up a story about the nuclear accident to cover the fact that many cities were destroyed during Greybeardo's spell. At first, Kilttron was too horrified to believe it since his father was very honest with him, but an outsider female Titanoid named [[Elisean]] confirmed it. Kilttron is stuck with difficult choices, and decides to tell Elisean to contact the Heroes Act to help arrest his own father before his rite-of-passage expires and he is banished. How will our heroes save the day when Greybeardo has been able to cover up his crimes perfectly, and is nearly on the verge of bringing the Sigrozoans to extinction?

*Magnum: It's not just that. Apparently, the Titanoids didn't account for one thing: Sigmus was populated by giant worms called Sigrozoans. Think of them as, land-living bristle worms that live underground with hundreds of massive legs, and like to pop out of the ground. Though they're blind, they can feel vibrations in the ground. When the Titanoids threatened their ecosystem, they destroyed everything. The Titanoids thus went to AFTs and now, to keep to their goal of taking back their homeworld, they made a rite-of-passage to ensure they grow into a great race. Titanoids must go to the ground, called 'Devil's Ground', and kill a Sigrozoan within 48 hours. If they failed, they get banished.

*(Samantha): You see, this mage, Darwield LaGrange by name, saw these united universes as dangerous. Filled with asteroids that could impact, supernovas that can annihilate, monsters that can kill, and he was paranoid. He wanted to make sure that Magelio and any other world can live long enough for a legacy. It even came at the right time when Magelio was threatened by a quantum asteroid. No magic could keep it from colliding with the planet. But Darwield came up with a plan. If they couldn't affect the asteroid, they could teleport the planet. Such a feat hadn't been done, but it was. Magelio was saved. Darwield was heralded as a hero. So after the planet was teleported back into proper orbit, Darwield was celebrated well enough to create a book that could ensure the survival of many other planets... But then, it suddenly occurred to him. After some vision obtained after getting power he was never supposed to have involving, obviously, to the annoyance of some of you, Libby espeically, Outer Gods-

Ehaexon literature says that not all demons look the same. They have infinite forms, as long as it instills fear. THIS, is a good example. (A burrowing worm monster with eight legs and multi-jawed mouths came out and roared, getting them to fire at it with their stun weapons)... You see my point now?

  +
*Daob King:... (Sigh) Fine! It's because we think insectiods are an evolutionary paradox! Happy?!
  +
*Rishon:... I... I figured there was a more tragic reason.
  +
*Daob King: Well surprise! We basically hate them cause we can't get the fact bugs get to have sentient races and yet anthropods are the most basest level forms of existence!
  +
*Rishon: "..... (Sighs), I fear there may be no fixing the Daobs reputation if their reason to despise insectiods is as simple as them being evolutionary elitists."

*As Council Enforcers grabbed Daob King and booked him, Rishon sighed depressedly.

  +
*Calixto: "Rishon, it's not the first time hostile races are just hostile for a mundane and non-tragedy motivated reason. They can't all be like the Phends."
  +
*Rishon: "But, we're now stuck in an unfixable racial issue! Insectiods will never forgive the Daobs if their reason for hatred onto them is, just because! This is gonna lead to Daobs being discriminated, I just know it!"
  +
*Jling Sling: "Oh relax, Councilor Political Correctness, it's not like they didn't already have a bad reputation as is with bugs! If anything, at least this information isn't gonna be surprising!"
  +
*Rishon: "But that's the thing! Now there's gonna be bugs that're gonna believe that Daobs may as well be likened to demons with this revelation! Those bitter by their actions will feel justified in wanting to pursue projects to DESTROY the Daobs!"
  +
*Jling Sling: "Oh like a tragic backstory would prevent that! We perfectly-acknowledged that the Phends had a robot god killed by the Fangpos, and there's still people that want THEM dead?!"
  +
*Rishon: "But what I wanted to happen was to encourage a process that prevents people from automatically siding with those that would straight-up want the destruction of the Daobs. Because the Daobs have no sympathetic reason for doing what they do, insects are gonna just line up to the nearest madman with an Astro Laser and/or a Nova Titan army that's gonna destroy the Daobs! Because then there's no such thing as being racist to Daobs, because it may as well be like that they're hurting bugs for fun?! I, (Sobs).... I need a minute. (Walks off crying)....."
  +
*Jling Sling: "..... Good grief, this virus stress, am I right? (Warson bonked Jling) D'OOOOOOOOW, THAT HURT?!"
  +
*Warson: "..... It's not just the outbreak that's gotten to him, Jling Sling..... It's because he found a racial situation, he can't fix."
  +
*Jling Sling: UM, DUH! RACISM IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX! AND DON'T DARE SAY 'NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE' AS IF TO IMPLY YOU CAN DEFEAT A MENTAL CONCEPT THAT WILL NEVER DIE!! REMEMBER THAT MAGIC WAS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF TRYING TO FIGHT OFF XENOPHOBIA!! XENOPHOBIA WILL ALWAYS EXIST, '''AND THERE'S NOT A GODDAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!''' (Rishon was heard crying harder)
  +
*Jarvis: Way to go, jackass.
  +
*Jling Sling: Not my fault he can't handle the truth.
  +
*Taleen: "Jling, please, try to remember that Rishon is a Grand Councilor for racial relations for a reason."
  +
*Calixto: "Ahem, it, might be for the best we allow Rishon to cope. It won't help for us to bicker about this... Espeically not my with this accursed burning influenza. (Sniffles). OHHHH! You people are so lucky I am wearing a self-quarantine suit."

  +
*Miami: As for Solus... He's making some good recovery.
  +
*Clifton: Well that's good.
  +
*Libby: "Kinda sucks that the Daobs basically hate bugs because they think sentience in bugs is paradoxical for them."
  +
*Tyberious Jr.: "Well, more so for Rishon. He's always going around wanting to see the best in everyone, and, the Daobs ruined that for him. Does it mean that Daob hate is okay then?"
  +
*Miria: "No one ever promises that doing the right thing always brings happier outcomes. And no. It's still too easy to despise the Daobs, even if their true nature is, far from desirable."
  +
*Xandy: "Mir's right, guys. Sure, the Daobs could've had better reasons for hating on bugs, but that doesn't mean we should allow some bug gone Xerxes to do whatever the fuck he wants! We should be ready to give that guy just as much of a bad day as we would to any."
  +
*Hudson: "You said it. Also, I'm glad the Titanoids got their home back and the Sigros had offered to help the planet heal from Daob shenanigans, and that the Troupe has confiscated all of the Daobs' ill-gotten jewels from the planet."
  +
*Clifton: "Just a pity though that there may never be a Daob with a conjustus though."
  +
*Hopstar: "I'm just disappointed I didn't get to beat up a Daob. Not even "Theon's Brother", who's name I forgotten."

  +
*(Scroopfan): "Alright, alright! How's this?"
  +
*Titanide's mantid lady friend came in.
  +
*Titanide's lady friend: "..... (Sighs), Well, bad news.... You failed to redeem the Daob race of what they did, because, if I'm guessing, you got usurped by an ancient Wizard that pretended to be a Daob, BADLY, while you got considered to be a loyalist spy. Now Daobs are still hated without the one thing that can make help refix things."
  +
*Titanide: "(Muffled) He came out of nowhere, Jezz, I swear!"
  +
*Jezz: "(Sighs). I get it. Guess we're gonna have to find another bug victims of the Daobs to make a redemption story with if we're gonna fix this and blow it out of the water. (Turns on a giant heater)..... But I'm not upset with you being an icicle, you were just cheated, I know that. I did saw the news."
  +
*Titanide: "..... (Muffled) Did the HA-"
  +
*Jezz: "Yeah, they did. They're unlikely to ever believe in a Daob sympathetic for insectiods ever again after this."
  +
*Titanide: "(Muffled) (Groans), Now I'm an indie hero for life!"
  +
*Jezz: "Hey, don't worry sweetie, they are more or less still working out their rut anyway, so maybe staying an indie hero won't be so bad. Besides, you becoming a heroic Daob is still an awesome feat."
  +
*Titanide: "(Muffled) Thanks Sweetie."
  +
*Jezz: "Anytime."
  +
*(Deadpool): "..... Ummm, better?"
  +
*(Scroopfan): "Hey, it's better then nothing all thing's considered."
  +
*(Deadpool): "Hey, if it helps, I'm hoping this virus crud will be done and over with soon."

Revision as of 21:22, 29 May 2020

Traditions Don't Go Well With Cruel Laws is the 29th Episode of Season 3B of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. The Shell Lodgers are called into helping the Heroes Act in the AUU in another mission on a planet called Sigrus involving humanoid grasshoppers called Titanoids, which have long ago been civilized in large cities until being terrorized by a species of hostile mindless worms called Sigrozoans, which spread diseases and wiped out nearly 30% of the Titanoid species, forcing them to build most of their cities on AFTs (Artificial Flying Terrains). Vowing to never return to the planet's surface, which they called 'Devil's Ground', they developed a Darwinist rite-of-passage to prove an adolescent's survival and adaptability by entering the Devil's Ground, and killing a single Sigrozoan, and those who either failed or never got a kill to prove it within 48 hours were banished by law. One such young prince warrior, Kilttron, a proud and honest warrior of the warrior queen Jegron, is going to through such a rite-of-passage to go after an infamous Sigrozoan named 'Grom-Moroious' the Gigantic. However, Klittron was always bothered on why their home planet was named after the Sigrozoans and not something based on their race. He gets that answer from an unlikely source: A surprisingly sentient Grom. Grom told him that Sigrus once belonged to Sigrozoans, who despite being carnivores and are rather huge, are very peaceful and tolerant to even the most disliked of races. However, after the real home planet of the Titanoids, "Titanmorna", was conquered by a hostile race of bug-hating lemur creatures called Daobassas, the Sigrozoans and the Titanoids had negotiated about them living with each other until a plan is made to get the Daobassas to leave since force is OBVIOUSLY out of the question thanks to the Daobassans being known for their fierce millaterry, but a malevolent wizard king, Klittron's own father, Greybeardo the Tricky, corrupted his own queen and race to attack the Sigros, and cursed a majority of Sigros to become violent except the likes of Grom, and made up a story about the nuclear accident to cover the fact that many cities were destroyed during Greybeardo's spell. At first, Kilttron was too horrified to believe it since his father was very honest with him, but an outsider female Titanoid named Elisean confirmed it. Kilttron is stuck with difficult choices, and decides to tell Elisean to contact the Heroes Act to help arrest his own father before his rite-of-passage expires and he is banished. How will our heroes save the day when Greybeardo has been able to cover up his crimes perfectly, and is nearly on the verge of bringing the Sigrozoans to extinction?

Transcript

Chapter 1: The Heroes Called Into Action Once Again

Hero Hive

  • Nanobyte: (As everything was being digitally rebuilt by robots)... Well, after all the crap with Maverick, the Hero Hive is finally at 100% working order.
  • Vancer: About TIME!
  • Miria: Well, since you are all still stuck with me as the leader what with discussing things about Nathan still being, well, under discussion.... I guess some fairness but firmness is needed. Nano?
  • Nanobyte: Nyeeeees?
  • Miria: My first decree as second contemporary leader is to eliminate your fear of vrats.
  • Nanobyte:... And how are you going to do that, dare I ask at the risk of my sanity?!
  • Miria: A virtual mission on Planet New Edge. Zeta Universe, Maxxus Sector, Alcon System. Homeworld of-
  • Nanobyte: THE LABRIDS?! THE RACE EVOLVED FROM LAB VRATS?! VRATS WERE BAD ENOUGH, BUT LAB VRATS?! If that world proved anything, when pests learn to use nuclear weapons, it's game over!
  • Miria: A Heroes Act hero doesn't cower from anything. Not even pests. Good luck.
  • Nanobyte: WAITWAIT- (He was placed in a virtual New Edge sewer simulation)...
  • (Miria): Here's your simulation mission log: Miami has been kidnapped by New Edge's worst terrorist, the brother of the president, President Tekx. Terrorist Tekx wants to use all the garbage on Pharagu to rebuild New Edge after a meteor strike.
  • Nanobyte: OH NO HE DID- (An unsentient vrat appeared from a barred pipe) NYYYAAAAHHHAAHAA!!!
  • (Miria): Just make your way there. There'll be nothing but vrats in every nook and cranny.
  • Nanobyte:... S***!
  • (VMiami): Quote: HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
  • (Miami): Wha, okay, who switched the live-settings off?!
  • (Vancer): Woopwoopwoopwoopwoopwoop!!
  • (VMiami): HELP!!! THESE STINKY RODENTS ARE MAKING ME HIT MYSELF!!!
  • Nanobyte:... (Sighs) Alright, Nirtana. Looks like you had to slaughter this fear sooner or later. (Vrats broke out of the barred pipe and charge at him as he did this with energy wrist blasters and blades, only with no violence and gore)
Pickle_Rick_Rat_Fight_Scene

Pickle Rick Rat Fight Scene

  • Nanobyte: (Breaths heavily)... This is my hell... And today, I'm going to be IT'S hell. (Blasts from out of a toilet to find a bizarre building of technology and machines)... Sometimes it bugs me these critters couldn't be my scale. (He runs through the place searching door to door and finds an elevator, failing to jump to the up button) Ugh!... (Gets a good leap from sci-fi retro props) Get that parkour! GET THAT PARKOUR!! (He pushed it) YES! (Labrids with multiple cybernetics appeared from the elevator surprised to see him) Whoawhoa, it's cool. Just need to find the nearest exit- (They got out retro blasters identical to Fallout guns) WHOA, NO NEED TO GET TRIGGERY!!!
  • Labrid: (Spoke a rat-esque language as they fired at him)
  • Nanobyte: WTF, WHOSE TOILET WAS THAT?! (He was shown to be in a junky stronghold which blared an alarm) THIS IS TERRORIST TEKX'S STRONGHOLD, C'MAAAAN!!!

Reality

  • Miami:... Well he seems to be nailing it.
  • Miria: Did you doubt my skills?
  • Clifton: Not at the most.
  • Miria: Let's all pray he can make it.
  • Vancer: None of us are that religious...... Right?

Virtual Gym

  • Tekx: (Comes into the surveillance room) What is going on?
  • Labrid #1: It appears you have a visitor from the prisoner's lovincé, mee squiing.
  • Tekx: Where is he?
  • Labrid #2: He seems to be using the air ducts and mail tubes to get around. He's been gathering supplies we believe to build weaponry. But look at this. (Shows Nanobyte at a trash can and recycling bin) He transferred literally every recyclable from the trash to the recycling bin. (Nanobyte mooned the security camera) Whoever this guy is, he's shaming us.
  • Tekx: We have 54 armed gueeds and we can't kill a small fry?
  • Labrid #2: 52 armed gueeds. He killed 2.
  • Labrid #1: He's on the phone.
  • Tekx: Put him on. And trace the signal.
  • (Nanobyte): Hey, Tekx! Where's Miami?
  • Tekx: Why must I answer someone who is easy to step on for someone as skilled and resourceful as me after killing two men.
  • Nanobyte: You should know I'm from the Heroes Act and so is she. Also, those two just knocked each other out like p*****s.
  • Tekx: And how is that?
  • (Nanobyte): Classic act of tricking them into shooting themselves with their silly-looking stun rifles. Even if you and your organization are monsters, we don't kill even if we wanted to.... Or do we?
  • Labrid #1: Wastya.
  • Tekx: Shut your mouth and do your jobs, YOU F*****G BASTQICKS!!!
  • (Nanobyte): Bad time, or...?
  • Tekx: Some of my men are calling you 'Wastya', the imp of the wasted. An old wives' tale. He crawls from the garbage to steal the souls of wasteful children.
  • (Nanobyte): Lucky break, I guess. (Guards attacked in the origin of the signal and fell into crazy traps and shot up a synthetic dummy)
  • (Labrid #3): We got him. (They all sigh in relief)
  • (Nanobyte): Because this wastya doesn't care about your disgusting spawn. (He was in another room transmitting to a laptop from a nearby vent) And I'm not taking their souls. I'm taking their parents' dignity. (Detonates the laptop by sabotaging it's venting fan remotely blowing the Labrids out of the room, popping out of a vent with a mini Spartan laser-like cannon) SURPRISE!! (Blasted them all down, reloading with batteries and retreating)
  • Labrid #1: WASTYA, HE'S COMING!! BECAUSE I THREW AWAY HALF OF MY SANDWICH!!!
  • Tekx: HE'S JUST A GIMPUS!!!
  • Labrid #1: HE'S A MONSTER!!
  • Tekx: He's not the only one. (He enters a dungeon showing a massively-chained Labrid)... You can stay here and become dead to the world... Or maybe, you can kill a hero for me and earn your freedom.
  • Labrid:... There is no freedom while your brother breaths. Our world is a prison!
  • Tekx: Then Cathy is a prisoner. And I can arrange her escape as well... She lives, Jaguire.
  • Jaguire:... Where is this HERO?!

Reality

  • Miria: So far so good.
  • Miami: I'm starting to worry.
  • Hopstar: It's a simulation. It's not real.
  • Miami: The pain feels real. Mentally or physically.
  • Miria: The key to something like this is to show no pain.
  • Vancer: Phah! Physically impossible. Nano has no need to show no pain. He'll crawl out of this like the most resilient vrat in the AUU, wherever that might be.
  • Miria: Don't make me hit your crotch again.
  • Vancer: EEP, NO, I PEE AND C** WITH IT!!!

Virtual Gym

  • Jaguire: (He gunned at Nanobyte through a wrecked laboratory as he shot him in the side but got hit on the shoulder with his laser)...... (He got gunpowder) HERO, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ISN'T PERSONAL!
  • Nanobyte: (Got a gustard pack) You should know that isn't original.
  • Jaguire: (Pours the gunpowder on his wound) THEY HAVE MY GIRLFRIEND! THERE'S NOTHING I WON'T DO TO SEE HER AGAIN!
  • Nanobyte: (Getting other fruits from a sandwich) Yeah there's lots I WOULDN'T do to see my girlfriend, but kicking your ass gets me to her quicker than your derivative bulls***! (Then both used what they got to cauterize their wounds, screaming wildly)
  • Jaguire: I NEVER BULLS***, HERO!! THIS CAN ONLY END WITH ONE OF US DEAD. AND I HAVE NEVER DIED!
  • Nanobyte: (Loading his laser) Well bad news dude, there's a first time for everything, only with you, short of this planet having Digiresserection or god-level magic, dying's like a quach motel, there's no checking out! (They continued to fight as they destroyed the security cameras)
  • Tekx:...... (On communicator) Is it done?...... JAGUIRE?!?
  • (Nanobyte): Jaguire couldn't make it. My condolences for his lady friend about it, but she just needs to know she has your ass to blame for this. I mean, you basically kidnapped Miami to being with, you were just asking for this to happen!
  • Tekx: (Growls)..... Fine. You win, hero. I'm setting the prisoner free.
  • (Nanobyte): You think I don't know how you work? Miami isn't here. I know it. So I'm coming for you now.
  • Tekx: (Was shocked) HERO, THERE'S 1 MILLITE WORTH OF BONDS IN A SAFE ON LEVEL 2, I'LL GIVE YOU THE COMBINATION!!!
  • Labrid #2: That money belongs to our people-
  • Tekx: SHUT UP AND CALL ME A TURBOROTOR, YOU PREEK!!! (On communicator) DO WE HAVE A DEAL?!
  • (Nanobyte): We don't take bribes. Otherwise we would've SUCK at being meant to deal away with the VA if all it took was meeting a price-tag to but themselves out of pickles. But I have a better idea. Give that money to Jaguire's girlfriend when you set her free, or I'll be visiting you again.
  • (Tekx): Jaguire's girlfriend is dead.
  • Nanobyte: Oh really, so you lied?
  • Tekx: Jaguire was an animal. You're an intelligence operative. We can do business.
  • (Nanobyte): I don't think so. See you soon. (Ends transmission)
  • Tekx: Is the turborotor here?
  • Labrid #2: Yes, and the police are on the way, what do we tell them? (Tekx shot them both)
  • Tekx: Tell them we were robbed. (He steals cash and valuables but finds that the turborotor was being driven by Jaguire, who was carrying Nanobyte and Miami) WHAT?!
  • Nanobyte: Funny thing a simple act of scaring you will leave you in open sight. (Labrid authorities surrounded Tekx)... See you.
  • Labrid Cop: You have been sentenced to death for your crimes against New Edge!
  • Tekx:... Farewell, Wastya! (He was shot dead)
  • Nanobyte: What a way to go.
  • (Miami): Good work, Nirt!!
  • Nanobyte: "Aw man, so glad to have the Vrat fear sorted out. When do I get to do the real event?"
  • Jaguire: "Sorry, this was an event that took in the 1930s, done by a different Gimpus and Ract. This was long resolved ages ago."
  • Nanobyte: ".... That explains why everything was ringing a bell. I always remembered loving to learn about the stories of Smallos the Bravest Gimpus. Such an honor to relive one of his greatest adventures."
  • (Miria): "You can thank Miami for giving me the inspiration to use that on how to ease your Vrat worries."
  • The Simulation ended.

Meanwhile, in a different part of the Training Room.

  • Hudson and Xandy were watching Telthona running a marathon of a rigorous athletic obstacle course as Telthona was noticed practicing a lot of flips and turns, somersaults and backflips and a lot of gymnastic stuff!
  • Hudson: "..... Ya know, cause she had been a Gromnule that one time, she started to try and practice being more, aerodynamic."
  • Xandy: "Well, Solus had said that Gromnules are typically very aerodynamic rodents. They've been known to have a need to be as active and mobile as possible. It made her realize that in terms of the HA, she's basically a walking tank before the swap and was worried she would slow us done given that a lot of us are extremely mobile."
  • Hudson: "I, think it's also the first time she experienced athletics like that in that time. She was mostly a science girl up to that part and it's the first time she's feeling the adrenaline junkie feel."
  • Xandy: "I'm surprised she never tried to be that active before. Guess that's why she started upgrading her gear to accommodate being more athletic."
  • Hudson: "Well, I heard Aurlena's reinventing herself as well."
  • Xandy: "Oh yeah. Realizing that she can be a bit of a loose cannon made her realize she needs to reinvent herself. At least enough that she can still be our powerhouse, but a less reckless powerhouse."
  • Hudson: "That totally explains how she started to hang with Cloakblade more. I even saw her in a meditative pose once!"
  • Xandy: "Wow, Aurlena, meditating? I wished I saw that, I would've spilled my guts laughing!"
  • Hudson: Well, there's another reason. We're kind of in a pickle. This whole, heliacovirus outbreak is really getting to us all.
  • Xandy:... Wait, outbreak? When did that happen?
  • Hudson: Well... It's kind of... Something that became a problem on Marbon and got leaked here, along with other planets in the Alpha Universe. It drove the UIS planets in this universe to enter pre-meditative lockdown and Quarantine-Shielded the planets, even onto the Brains'! UIS even got to create the biggest space wall ever, to quarantined the entire Alpha Universe and began blocking out any ships in that universe and began enforcing Planet-Stay enforcements and coherse native governments to keep people in their homes! They're even restricting immediate access to the other United Universe so it doesn't end up becoming a Multiverseal Threat! Doesn't help that... Well... Something similar is occurring in the Lougers' United Universe.
  • Xandy:... Never heard of it.
  • Hudson: Yeah, it's a rare illness... Until now, clearly.
  • (Deadpool): Wow, you're really doing this, guys?
  • MSM: Hey, think of it as a... Well... Ad, for the coronavirus outbreak, kay? Scroopfan made an awareness of it last episode.
  • (Deadpool):... Okay, pal, just saying, this seems a little... Controversial.
  • (Scroopfan): "Hey, if it helps, SAF has touched WORSE topics. Also, at least this time, this touching of a touchy subject is to be helpful.
  • Xandy: Well, what is it?
  • Hudson: Some kind of virus that looks like a sun, having very sensitive feeler-peplomers, can feed on solar energy, and can basically mutate itself with the radiation of said solar energy.... BUUUUT only after it's gathered a butt-ton of genetic material, and it can store some energy inside of it, but also transfer dangerous amount of it into its host, causing cancerous effects, and symptoms similar to sunburn or radiation sickness.
  • Xandy: AY CRUMBA?! And what's the Lougers' United Universes' viral problem like?"
  • Hudson: "Weeeeeelll, in comparison, their viral problem, is just a slightly more fatal type of cold in comparison."
  • Xandy: ".... Oy, I think the Lougers' Universes' lucked out again if even their virus outbreaks sound compairingly less worse then OUR viruses!"
  • Hudson: Yeah... Luckily, we live in a sci-fi dimension where everyone has been so used to pandemics at earlier points it just ends up being a new excuse to remember to keep hygienic.
  • Xandy: Chyeah, most diffidently. How have the others been handling that?
  • Hudson: Well thanks to Miria's seminar of handling virus outbreaks, alot of the others are either prepared or are being like Telthona and are being as prepared as possible.... I'm diffidently gonna be on THAT bandwagon of keeping myself virus free.
  • Xandy: "Well I know I will! Good to know the HA is really our of the rut and we're back being ahead of the curve!"
  • Hudson: Well... Yes and no. While the majority of use came to brave this problem, Miami..... Let's just say that it drove her... Recent neat-freak obsession further since she found out that Jindy was a nastiphile.
  • Xandy: Well what'd you expect from living on Pharagu? (The two laughed for abit, but then remembered the serious fiasco they're in and stopped after 5 seconds in)... Yeah, we REALLY shouldn't be laughing about that.
  • Hudson: Nope.
  • Xandy: "We should uh, probably go look for Miami and help her out."

Elsewhere in the HA base.

  • Nanobyte: "(Was looking for Miami). Hey, Mi? Where are ya? Ya kinda just charged for the bathroom after dinner, what's wrong? (Sees the Unisex Bathroom as he saw that nervous wimpers are heard).... (Nanobyte enters, and discovers that Miami is obsessively trying to clean up the bathroom non-stop to the point it becomes crazily crome-clean.)..... Mi?"
  • Miami: "(PANICKED)?! PLEASE DON'T TRACK IN THE OUTSIDE GERMS, I AM CLEANING THIS PLACE?! (KICKS THE DOOR ON NANOBYTE AND BLOCKING IT OUT)?!"
  • Nanobyte: "...... WTF?!"
  • Libby: "(Comes up) What's all the commotion?"
  • Nanobyte: "MI'S GONE INTO NEATFREAK MODE?!"
  • Libby: ".... Oh, I see. I think that's the aftermath of her realizing that if it wasn't for that her mother taught her cleanliness and etiquette, even inspite of living in Pharagu, that.... She would pretty much be a disgusting slob."
  • Nanobyte: "WHERE DID SHE EVER GET THAT CRAZY ID-...... Her UIS Identity?"
  • Libby: "Yeah, I, understand she did NOT had a fun experience with her alternate self. Kinda to the point that, she became an extreme germaphobe cause, seeing what she would've been like, traumatized her like this.... And personally, I don't think the Alpha Universe having a viral outbreak is helping matters, even when Miria had insisted that our sanitation systems are being upgraded ahead of this problem."
  • Nanobyte: "..... (Deadpan) Where's, Solus?"
  • Libby: ".... I'm scared of what happens if I told you-"
  • Nanobyte: "WHERE'S, SOLUS?!"
  • Libby: "MEEP?! He's talking with Marses in the lab about studying on a way to track for Artificial Magic?!"
  • Nanobyte said nothing as he walked off.....
  • Libby: "....... This is gonna lead to alot of drama, isn't it?"
  • Miami: (From otherside of bathroom door) WHAT DO YA THINK?!? Plus, it's not just that. Like you said, this virus thing is making this s*** worse!... And... I forgot to tell him that... It got Solus.
  • Libby: WHAT?!

Meanwhile...

  • Solus: (He was sick and resting with Marses) LET ME OUT OF THESE STRAPS! I CAN TAKE SOME STUPID VIRUS- AH-CHOO! (He was sealed from infecting Marses with a quarantine energy field)... THAT SNEEZE MADE IT FEEL LIKE THAT MY NOSE WAS ON FIRE?!
  • Marses: Kinda a side-effect of that virus liking to soak-up sun-rays. But you're lucky that's the LEAST of yer problems! Solly, we're not tickled pink by this either, but the UIS says that THEY don't want this outbreak going to THEIR territory, let alone Brainiac. Heavens FORBID the Isolated Systems! So, they and the AUU Grand Council said that this was, for your own good. Kinda why UIS began to make that super-wall and why the USRA Races are just, allowing that to happen! Better having to deal with forced UIS inconvenience then allowing a virus to spread like wildfire, ESPEICALLY WITH IT'S SUN-LOVING WAYS IN MIND! Would you like a second opinion?
  • Solus: (Coughs) YOU DON'T KNOW JACK SQUAT ABOUT THIS ARTIFICIAL MAGIC BIZ, MARSES! YOU NOR YOUR GIRLFRIEND! (Coughs).... EVEN THE COUGHS BURN?!
  • Marses: No, but I CAN read your UIS Identity catalogs and find out as much as I can. I'm not in the mood to discuss it with you all day about it and risk getting infected. Viruses are NASTY when it comes to mutating themselves by stealing genetics from others.
  • Solus: JUST, LET ME, OUT!
  • Marses: No! I don't want to catch your sun-virus!
  • Nanobyte: WHAT, THE F***?!? (He appeared)... HE GOT THE SUN VIRUS?!?
  • Marses: What's it look like, tiny?
  • Nanobyte: HEY, WATCH IT, BUDDY! SOLUS, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT-
  • Solus: MIAMI, I KNOW, BUT, DON'T BLAME ME, BLAME MIRIA! DIDN'T SHE SEND HER TO TAKA AS JINDY AFTER YOU RAN OFF ON YOUR PEACEKEEPER CRUISER?! SHE HAD TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT TO ADD SOME MORE SUBTLETY! ALSO, SHE'S FROM PHARAGU! SHOULDN'T SHE BE' USED TO FILTH?!
  • Nanobyte: EXCUSE ME?!
  • Solus: WHAT, JUST SAYING! (Coughs)...
  • Nanobyte: "JUST BECAUSE PHARAGU IS A VIGSTY, DOESN'T MEAN PHARAGUIANS LOVE FILTH?! IN FACT, THEY WERE ONCE GONNA REBEL OVER IT IN THE "BEFORE YOU" TIME?! HER MOTHER, RAISED HER TO BE MORE CLEANLY?!"
  • Solus: ".... Ohhhhh. Okay, that, would explain alot about her behavior. But still, Miria's doing, not mine!"
  • Nanobyte: "WELL EXCUSE US FOR NOT WANTING OUR IDENTITY MISSIONS TO DIE OUT BECAUSE UIS HAD A PANIC FIT?!"
  • Solus: "I could've talked to the UIS Council about it and get them to see things my way like I still did, EVEN DESPITE YOU GUYS MAKING THEIR PANIC WORSE BY BEING DISOBEDIENT?!"
  • Nanobyte:... Why? Why did this have to happen?
  • Solus: BECAUSE!!!
  • Nanobyte: I don't accept 'because' alone as an answer, buster!
  • Solus: "Hey, this virus popped up in Marbon one day cause some over-curious germophile discovered the dang virus and it got out because of poor containment, or at least that's the official story, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT VIRUS CAME IN?! I wasn't even IN Marbon?! Just so happened that I was next to someone who had it?! BUT IN MY DEFENSE, HE COULD'VE EASILY HAD PASSED FOR SOMEONE HAVING A BAD SPRING BREAK EARLIER BEFORE?!"
  • Nanobyte: "WELL THING IS, HE CLEARLY HAD SOMETHING WORSE THEN A CASE OF FORGETTING TO USE SUNBLOCK, YA LITTLE-"
  • Marses: Nirtana, this is NOT a good time. He NEEDS to be recovered and he NEEDS to be quarantined.
  • Nanobyte: Fine! But I'll be back when he's recovered.... If he DOES!
  • Solus: Wait, what?!
  • Marses: Just relax, Solus!
  • Solus: OH PLEASE DON'T TELL THIS SICKNESS IS FAT- (He was sedated and went to sleep)
  • Marese: ".... Oy. Lucky for him, it's been said the virus is mostly dangerious only to old folks and/or people in bad health situations. He's far from both those death-ranges, so at worse he'll know what it feels to burn on the inside."
  • Nanobyte: Well, at least that virus inadvertently spared him from what I would've done to him! In the meantime, I'll talk to Miria!
  • Marses: Try not to yell TOO much at her. You KNOW how she is.
  • Nanobyte: "Funny thing, I'M TOO PISSED TO BE SCARED OF HER NOW?!"

Later.

  • Miria was seen growling angerly.
  • Nanobyte: "..... Annnnnnd your scary angry face scared my rage out of me...."
  • Miria: "..... Look, I'm sorry if I made Miami start having a cleaning crusade, but one, that mission was before we even KNEW a virus outbreak would occur, and two, bringing up that virus was for her own good! The last thing the Alpha Universe needs right now is the best people who can help them getting infected too!"
  • Nanobyte: "I know, but all the same, now Miami is cleaning up the bathrooms so much that it's starting to look like it came from a Chrome-Future period!"
  • Miria: "Look, if you wish to ease Miami's dilemma, you're welcome to do so, but it would risk you and her being absent for missions."
  • Nanobyte: ".... Ya know what? Much as I hate missing out on missions, I'll, accept that! She REALLY needs me now!"
  • Nanobyte walked off.
  • Xandy and Hudson came in with Libby and saw Nanobyte leaving....
  • Hudson: ".... Yikes. Ya didn't relapse to when Maverick was in charged, did you?"
  • Miria: "Actually, he volunteered to stay and ease Miami's panic-episode, even at the price of not being in missions."
  • Libby: "I take it you got slightly stricter about this quarantine business?"
  • S'antza: "(Comes in) It even got to the point that she forced Xander to take a bath in like, forever! Xander is crying excessively!"
  • Miria: "It was to prevent his bacteria colony of a body to be inviting for the sun virus!"
  • S'antza: "Yeah, but, he is still gonna miserable for awhile."
  • Miria: "He's not the only one miserable from this. Many of the Alpha Universe are likely to be scared of these events. Families being divided, lost in a worst-case scenario. Heavens forbid if the VA was still active, and how dangerous Narcotic would've been with it!"
  • Xandy: "No kidding! This virus really has to be something fierce if even UIS got riled up about it that they preemptively quarantined UIS planets before the Virus would even end up there, somehow!"
  • Libby: "That's an understatement! I hear talk that it may've scared UIS into talks about reviving Techmoply."
  • Hudson: "And how would that really help?"
  • Libby: "Well, Techmoply was basically a UISifived Globex, which as you can imagine, that company disbanded cause of reminders of such. Not helping it came at the time where the Exo-Wars started and there were fears of Techmoply falling to the same pitfall as Globex of wronging just that ONE guy who'd do the same thing. Usually, revival attempts are impossible, but the Alpha Universe being compromised by a virus that could be a risk to even the Brains, even WITH their preventative measures in mind, well, Chairmen Cap Itilist Poly got a blessing in disguise with that terrible sickness. Even the puritans' who're normally against the prospect, decided to SHUT UP about hating the idea CAUSE of how much the Brains MAY be vulnerable at the moment. Granted, there will be strings attached to strip Techmoply to be even LESS like Globex then it was promised to already, if in fact, it'll not be like Globex AT ALL and be a company that doesn't do what Globex does, and well, ya know, be present in planets on a mass scale, but besides that, Techmoply returning would mean chances to create UIS-exclusive vaccines and immunity gels so UIS doesn't have to fear this or another Pandemic being a useful weapon by their adversaries."
  • Xandy: "Tch, figures alot of UIS' panic-circus is because they're afraid their haters would be stupid enough to try and weaponized a terrible virus against them."
  • Miria: "Well given how their ways are so, unpopular, can we really say these fears are unfounded?"
  • Xandy: So, if they are so scared of having a tech conglomerate, then how do they even advance?
  • Miria: "The benefit of having a Teadr 1 race as a leadership race, and smaller Coraak owned Tech businesses."
  • Xandy: ".... Fair enough."
  • Hudson: "And that's only WITHOUT that company. Imagine how much tougher they can get with it back?"
  • Libby: "Well at the least, it might only be for a response to an emergency. I suspect that once things settle down, either the revived Techmoply will be closed again, or be radically reconfigured and changed from the original name and probably become something REALLY UIS worthy."
  • Radcliff: "(Comes in) Well personally, even a limited return of Techmoply might still be good news to folks nostalgic to what that company could've been like if UIS didn't panzied out cause of Infernus being a dick! I could only imagine Highermore's reaction."
  • Tollund: "I know folks in Brequturn, a once prime Techmoply planet, would go GAGA at the announcement."
  • Xandy: "It might still only because of the virus thing, that could be reversed or the revive company ta be radically altered from what they were used to."
  • Radcliff: "Well, they've came to learn that they can't be choosy beggars."
  • Tollund: "I'll say. To them, even a hollowed-out shell of what Techmoply was once like is better then if UIS was still gonna keep it disbanded."
  • Xandy: But hey, we STILL need a break from UIS, especially when it concerning risking the spread of the sun virus.
  • Magnum: (She arrived) Well, you're in luck, then. The Council HAS compiled a list of jobs for us. Since the UIS Identity operation turned out, erum, MOSTLY good results, even if not many will be fooled by it, BUT could make us be more presentable... The Council decided to catalog all USRA-space jobs for us. Though, we're not going to do them all at once. They figured that, well, since coming in out of the blue would be like meddling in world affairs, it would be... Unwise to come in like strangers and offer help. It'd raise suspicion. So, they decided to have us do them when the situation calls for us.
  • Radcliff: Well, wise choice. So... What mission are they starting us off with?
  • Magnum: Apparently we're going to the planet Sigrus. They've already sent us the mission briefing here.
  • Xandy:... Don't they usually brief us in the briefing room?
  • Magnum: Well, Calixto is-
  • Xandy: Sick with sun virus?
  • Magnum:... Yes. But fortunately, he's being treated with the best care and it turned out he only suffers minor, though still painful, symptoms. He's guaranteed to recover.
  • Xandy: Ugh, because of COURSE he got infected. So... What is this Planet Sigmus?
  • Magnum: It's one of those primitive planets still stuck in outdated traditions. The Titanoids, which hail from another planet that was conquered by the Daobassas, built a grand civilization there in an attempt to build ways to take back Titanmorna. Daobassas HATE insectoids.
  • Xandy: Oh, great, another race war that needs ending. I'm actually kinda missing the UIS stuff already, cause I forgot how samey USRA stuff gets after awhile!
  • Magnum: It's not just that. Apparently, the Titanoids didn't account for one thing: Sigmus was populated by giant worms called Sigrozoans. Think of them as, land-living bristle worms that live underground with hundreds of massive legs, and like to pop out of the ground. Though they're blind, they can feel vibrations in the ground. When the Titanoids threatened their ecosystem, they destroyed everything. The Titanoids thus went to AFTs and now, to keep to their goal of taking back their homeworld, they made a rite-of-passage to ensure they grow into a great race. Titanoids must go to the ground, called 'Devil's Ground', and kill a Sigrozoan within 48 hours. If they failed, they get banished.
  • Radcliff:... Okay, that doesn't sound fair at all.
  • Magnum: Its Darwinism at the most basic. If you've met their leader, Wizard King Hyhelion, or as he's known commonly, Greybeardo the Tricky, but I'm calling him by his real name because I am NOT going to reduce us into laughter, for the HUNDREDTH time, espeically not in the wake of the aftermath of what we went through with the UIS missions! He was fighting hard to get the civilization built, and when these creatures ruined everything, he felt that only one species had to live. It was clear to him that they weren't going to defeat the Daobassas unless they knew how to beat the Sigros.
  • Xandy:... So... They're basically trying to strengthen themselves via these worms to take back their home?
  • Magnum: Yes. But... Something isn't right.
  • Tollund: Care to elaborate?
  • Magnum: Gladly. You see, my family had known the Sigrozoans a long time ago. They were supposed to be a naturally-peaceful race, not the monsters this report is saying.
  • Cloakblade: Are you saying, the Councilors LIED to us?
  • Magnum: No, SOMEONE did. Well either that or these are unsentient versions and the actual Sigro race vanished for no clear reason, which, explains why my family hadn't been able to keep in touch. But something still doesn't feel right about this. SOMEONE spread these lies for... Some reason. Something happened to the Sigros.
  • Samantha: (She came in) Ahem! I don't want to interrupt... But did you say, Planet Sigros?
  • Xandy: Yeah, why?
  • Samantha:... This is currently an untested theory, but, I think I might know the reason why these Sigrozoans, are no longer what you know them as.

Space

  • Magnum: (As the Heroes Act went off to Sigros on their dropship)... So you're telling me that, there's an ancient book of Magelio origin on this planet?
  • Samantha: Correct. This book is one that was made by an ancient mage for the same goals as Greybeardo. Darwinism. The magic of survival.

Depicted Flashback

  • (Samantha): You see, this mage, Darwield LaGrange by name, saw these united universes as dangerous. Filled with asteroids that could impact, supernovas that can annihilate, monsters that can kill, and he was paranoid. He wanted to make sure that Magelio and any other world can live long enough for a legacy. It even came at the right time when Magelio was threatened by a quantum asteroid. No magic could keep it from colliding with the planet. But Darwield came up with a plan. If they couldn't affect the asteroid, they could teleport the planet. Such a feat hadn't been done, but it was. Magelio was saved. Darwield was heralded as a hero. So after the planet was teleported back into proper orbit, Darwield was celebrated well enough to create a book that could ensure the survival of many other planets... But then, it suddenly occurred to him. After some vision obtained after getting power he was never supposed to have involved, obviously, to the annoyance of some of you, Libby espeically, Outer Gods-
  • (Libby): "Uggggggggh! I, am, still, so bitter about the mindfuckery I went through with Midus cause of everything turning out to be a glorified cosmic adoption scheme!"
  • (Samantha): Ahem! Anyway, he decided that he should be the one to control dangerous celestial objects whenever he can and train worlds to fight against them themselves. So came the day... His title was called into question.
  • Elder Councilmember: Darwield... You have been accessing certain data networks all over the UUniverses.
  • Darwield: Well, had I been a less honorable person, I'd deny this, so I won't. Yes, I have been doing such, but not many of them are entirely convinced that it's a good idea.
  • Elder Councilmember #2: That's the thing, Darwield... Why WOULD it be a good idea?
  • Darwield: Wait... How much have you found out about this?
  • Elder Councilmember #2: Well, alot of what we came to know is still, speculation. But I have a feeling our suspicions are looking pretty accurate now.
  • Elder Councilmember #1: While this COULD be a good start for helping you... That statement alone, is something that makes you think. We imagined what one could do with power like yours.
  • Elder Councilmember #3: Hacking into things one couldn't... Or really shouldn't.
  • Elder Councilmember #4: Monitoring things beyond the scope of what one would normally expect.
  • Elder Councilmember #5: And then we got generous with the whole thing... And speculated space-based thaumonology that could hold power worthy of something like an astrolaser. Weapons of mass destruction.
  • Elder Councilmember #6: Spells that could allow one to wield the cosmos themselves, to an unlimited degree, when really, one should accounts the mortal blocks we must have to keep people from accessing unlimited power until they're ready to use it responsibly. Such things would do more harm than any perceived good of avoiding disasters from space!
  • Elder Councilmember #7: So what we're basically asking, Darwield... Is why?
  • Darwield:... (Sighs)... If the council is SO insistent to be on my back on this matter, then consider things in my perspective! I lost my home planet to a comet. I was raised on Magelio. When I saw that quantum asteroid hurdling towards us... I thought it was going to be that loss all over again. But when I found that spell to save us and it worked... What if there was other worlds out there that could share the same fate and have people who end up like me? I had to endure the loss of one home and the near-loss of another. I became Darwield the Saver. The master of anti-celestial destruction. These spells I've been writing down... They could save billions, trillions, even more! We need more aces, we NEED more options, AND we need the full fury of what we can deliver when the need arises.
  • Elder Councilmember #3: Darwield, we can find better ways. This could paint us as... Well... Needlessly interventionalist. Nosey, as one would have it. Overprotective.
  • Dawield: "Ugh, please don't give that "Meddling in the affairs of worlds" crud, I thought we've transitioned into the Transitional Period Era, we're done with the BK and AK style of things!"
  • (Hudson): "So this took place in the TPE Epoch? That is a RARELY talked about era."
  • Elder Councilmember 3: "Transitioning to a new era doesn't mean that guidelines and laws born from those times stop being relevant or considered. The one thing that never gets outdated, is responsibility and the respect for power one pocesses."
  • Elder Councilmember #4: And still, there's others out there who could so easily use this power of yours for evil. The power to control space is something too dangerous for anyone to possess.
  • Darwield: Ugh, no you sound like those magic ethic nuts out there who pester me for what I've been making. We can use this power to help people.
  • Elder Councilmember #5: It's not wise to use this power knowing the threat it might pose.
  • Elder Councilmember #1: I'm sorry, Darwield, but we cannot allow your spells to be used even once.
  • Darwield:... You don't believe in me, do you?
  • Elder Councilmember #1: Darwield, we do, it's just-
  • Darwield: I made these spells to protect people. I hacked those networks, in only watching for catastrophic events via space. I made these spells, to protect anyone from its harm. I even have spells to ensure people survive such an event themselves. A spell that boosts magic's ability to have them imagine, if that makes any sense. My spells are for survival, and survival only. I made sure of that.
  • Elder Councilmember #1: Jinxes exist, Darwield. It's STILL likely someone who gets a hold of your spells can undo that block.
  • Elder Councilmember #4: Those spells are coming with us, Darwield. This is wrong. You know it.
  • Darwield:...... This isn't hypotheticals. This ISN'T a moral debate. This ISN'T us thinking about what COULD happen. Besides, there's already people out there who have far worse power, and if I have THIS power, I can basically destroy them before they even make a single move.
  • Elder Councilmember #3: Yes, but you know the rules of space-controlling magic. It ONLY works in its own dimension. Any other dimension, WITH worse threats, will not be affected. What you have is only possible for this United Universes, it won't function to outside dimensions.
  • Darwield: That's why I'm going to perfect the spell in any OTHER dimension I can find!
  • Elder Councilmember #6: Darwield, that's going too far! This is why-... Wait a minute...... Did you see... THEM?!
  • Darwield: Them what?
  • Elder Councilmember #6: The Outer Gods? Did you see THEM?! Is THAT why you're doing this?
  • Darwield: "(Scoffs), Outer Gods, elders? Really? I think you read too much J.R. Fondsmith stories, dear elders, we should know better than tha-"
  • Elder Councilmember #3: And yet you wrote yourself as honest and here you are, denying your unsanctioned cosmic awareness! You have tampered with things you're not supposed to, Darwield.
  • Darwield:..... Ahhh, frick! Okay, fine, I'm, I'm aware of them! But I HAD to! Protection means doing what you must to make it happen, including getting whatever power is necessary. I can control space. So no celestial entities can POSSIBLY harm another. Especially ones cherished by many.... I will do whatever it takes to protect any world from harm, with or without your help.
  • Elder Councilmember #1: DARWIELD, WE ORDER YOU TO- (Darwield teleported away, retrieved his book, and retreated)... AFTER HIM! THAT BOOK MUST BE DESTROYED!
  • (Samantha): So they chased him to the Romaa System. They shot him down, but he and his ship were lost in the planet's storms. And they were never seen again.

Present

  • Samantha: They assumed that both he and his secrets were lost together.
  • Magnum: Are you saying that-
  • Samantha: Again, untested theory, but.... It is possible if at the least, the book survived, and Darwield's knowledge is being used by someone.
  • Xandy: Could it be Greybeardo?
  • Samantha: Let's try to give the king reasonable doubt, here, it'd be too easy and yet risky to automatically assume the authority figure. Though it's a possibility, maybe he discarded it when he realized how dangerous it was. Perhaps the book strengthens his already present magic, but stopped reading it to keep himself from learning too much.
  • Xandy: Well we can't know for sure unless we get to the bottom of it. So what're we waitin on? We have some bugs and worms to save.... Eck, that sounds gross when you say it out loud.
  • Miria: "We need to be cautious in landing on the planet."
  • Hudson: "Hey, I'm sure the Titanoids had known about ships before, they're not THAT primitive!"
  • Miria: "I meant more in line about the Sigros. Whether they were once sentient or not, it can't be under-stressed that these creatures may bare hyper-aggression to anything on the ground of the planet."
  • Zosimo: "Well obviously don't land in the ground, problem solved. We'll just nestle ourselves on the Titanoids."
  • Miria: "But that's it: If Greybeard is guilty of something, it might be risky to have him know of our presence and have him weary of our intentions."
  • Libby: "I hear he's a pretty gentle king though, erm, outside of the Darwinism thing."
  • Miria: "True, but that benevolence could just be a mask to hide darker intentions. If a king wanted to, he can make his subjects become the enemy of anyone against them. I know from experience in Ferus."
  • Vancer: "I'm pretty sure the guy might behave differently from kings in Ferus."
  • Miria: "Even kind rulers can have darkness in them if they're troubled. And from what I understand, the Daobs were not kind opponents to him."
  • Hopster: "Well duh, the Daobs are bug haters."
  • Miria: "Beyond that..... Greybeard suffered horrendous indignity from the Daobs."
  • Aurlena: "I heard horror stories of what the Daobs do to bugs. Is it, as bad as I heard?"
  • Miria: If you have to ask, you don't know ANYTHING.

Depicted Flashback

  • (Miria): It is not known why Daobassas despise insectoid races, aside from their insectivorous diet. But they do. They have even eaten sentient insectoid meat, and in Daobassa culture, it's said that eating sentient insectoid being meat blesses you with strength and acceptance. These beings, were very vicious, and thus not even the Legion of Dominant Races couldn't get through to them. (Daobassas were lemur-like beings that carried flyswatter-like weapons, poisonous gases, plasma guns, powerful armor and machines, and so on as they wreaked havoc on bug worlds) They have fought in wars against these kinds of beings for a long time... But... I know of ONE Daobassa who had been abandoned on Sigrus. His name is Theon. Though I haven't met him personally, he was left for showing compassion for these insectoids. He resides somewhere on Devil's Ground. He's also... A REALLY paranoid monkey, especially since he's related to Titanide, the Daobassa spy for their progress on the Titanoids. We find him, we might have an ace in this mission, AND know why they hate insects to begin with.

Present

  • Zosimo: What makes you think he'd know?
  • Miria: Because the briefing said that there exists only ONE known sentient Sigrozoan left. Name, unknown. Location, unknown. But they're said to be close to the Capital AFT, where Greybeard himself lives.... I should also mention that... Sigrozoans, or at least as they are now, can carry pathogens. SO, we must wear THESE! (They brought out fancy EVO suits)
  • Xandy:... Really?
  • Miria: We can't spread the sun virus to those people, Xandy.
  • Tollund: But, we're not infected with the virus, nor have we shown signs of illness.
  • Miria:... (She shot Tollund with a gun set to stun) IT DOESN'T HURT TO PRACTICE GOOD QURRITINE PROCEDURES IN CASE THE VIRUS HAS BOARDED US WITHOUT PROPER KNOWLEDGE?!
  • Vancer: AAHHH!!! FRIENDLY FIRE MUCH?! What kind of creature is she?!?
  • Xandy: She's-
  • Vancer: Don't answer that!... Let's just get this over with. I swear, the sooner this virus crud is done, the better. (They tried to land until orbital cannons surrounded them)... AND we're off to a GREAT start!
  • Xandy: Stop crying like a big baby!
  • Orbital Cannon #1: State your business.
  • Xandy:... Anyone want to convince them to NOT blow us into orbital space debris?
  • Magnum: Ahem. (On communication) Yes, this is Penelope Buzz.
  • Orbital Cannon #1:... Recognized. You may enter.
  • Hopstar: Wait, THAT'S all it took?!
  • Magnum: Well, insectoids DO have a habit of connecting with each other. It's been that way since the Interwar Period.
  • Hopstar:... Why does it feel like luck is getting more real than it really should?
  • Samantha: Because luck magic exists.
  • Hopstar:... Doesn't anyone understand any simple rhetoric anymore?
  • Xandy: Hey, it's how we get a good laugh in a serious situation. We need it. (They entered the capital AFT landing pads)
  • Titanoid: Greetings, Princess Penelope. I will be your guide, Cletene.
  • Xandy:... Do they ALWAYS have names relating to titans?
  • Magnum: It's in their culture. Also, 'Titanoid', kinda obvious. It gives them a sense of superiority. Races have different ways of doing that.
  • Cletene: Oh, thank Titans that I didn't have to explain that. I HATE history lessons.
  • Hudson: "Annnd yet, you're a guide?"
  • Cletene: "Yes I'm aware of the irony, no need to dwell on it. Instead, I have my brother Ordemis for that. (Another Titanoid appeared)
  • Ordemis: Greetings, your highness.
  • Penelope:... Is it possible for us to see... King Hyhelion?
  • Ordemis: Sadly, no. He's busy with his son's rite-of-passage.
  • Xandy:... Ohhhhh, boy.
  • Ordemis: Yep. And... He's such a monster.
  • Cletene: BRO!
  • Ordemis: Hey, he's the one throwing his would-be heir to be chowed on by the dreaded Grom-Moroious of all Sigros!
  • Hudson: "I, take it that's like, a super-Sigro?"
  • Ordemis: "That's an understatement! Grom is a particularly smart Sigro. Granted, I can't say how smart, cause no one ever comes back alive hunting him!"
  • Magnum: "So, we're not seeing the king then?"
  • Miria: "Not that we're supposed to let him know we're here anyway. We ask to seek out the prince."
  • Ordemis: "Be my guest, but you're ON YOUR OWN FOR THAT! If not just Grom, other Sigros will spell your doom!"
  • Cletene: We've ALL been through the rite-of-passage and earned our acceptance. None of us want to return after what we've done to earn that acceptance.
  • Miria: Well, this is why we're here.... We have reason to suspect that your king is planning something. Something that MIGHT hurt Titanmorna, Sigrus, AND Daobin. All three worlds will be affected.... Where is the prince on Devil's Ground?
  • Ordemis: How should we know? The rite-of-passage is supposed to be one not to be intervened. The punishment of meddling is forfeiting and banishment of both the interferer and the one taking the rite-of-passage. And I warn you, if you do this... You'll be risking forfeiting the prince's rite-of-passage.
  • Hudson: It doesn't matter. This kind of Darwinist rite-of-passage is wrong and outdated. AND again, we think he's omitting something from his own race.
  • Ordemis:... Why are you telling us this, then?
  • Zosimo: "Cause of this. (Brings out a memory ray gun, hits the two with it as they plopped down unconjustus).... Booyah! Memory-wipe ray gun a success!"
  • Miria:... I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NEVER TO MAKE THAT THING! MIND WIPING IS WRONG!
  • Zosimo: You were the one who told them. Besides, mind-wipe is ONLY wrong if it's USED wrong. As the former acting leader, you should be grateful that I think as well as you do.
  • Vancer: Says the one who lied to us all about your knowledge of protocol out of mistrust.
  • Zosimo: WE AGREED NEVER TO SPEAK OF THAT!
  • Vancer: Well-
  • Zosimo: Well NOTHING! This was a waste of time. We should've just landed on Devil's Ground!
  • Miria: We HAD to land on the capital to avoid suspicion, take the witnesses as prisoners and then let them go when the mission was done. NOT, MIND-WIPE THEM!
  • Zosimo: Well, when I read your plan, there was a FEW flaws in it. One, THE ORBITAL CANNONS CAN REPORT THIS TO THE KING, SO I HACKED THEM INTO FORGETTING THAT! Two, ANYONE WHO SEES OUR ARRIVAL! Had to use augmented reality projectors so that only WE, AND our guides, could see it. If we take them prisoner, we WILL alert those who miss them.
  • Miria:... (Sighs) Fine. Good work, I guess. But next time, be more open. I do NOT appreciate you doing this behind my back.
  • Zosimo: Maybe it would've helped if you were reasonable AND less scary.
  • Miria: Fine, c'mon! (They left for the surface)

At the ground.

  • The group arrived to the ground....
  • Veta: ".... Ya know, for a place called the Devil's Ground, it actually doesn't look so bad. I kinda expected something more like, something out of hell or something."
  • Hudson: "Well at worse, I say the Devil's Ground is actually, kinda BORING! Is the devil part meant to mean that it's BORING AS HELL?!"
  • Miria: "I believe the name is meant to be symbolic, not of litteral reference. It is meant to warn of the danger the Sigros pocess."
  • Radcliff: "Well all the same ya think they could've named the ground after the Sigros to be more accurate."
  • Miria: Hey, it's not just the Sigros that are dangerous. Every sentient-harboring planet ALWAYS has fauna and flora. See for yourself. (They walked further and saw hellish-like plants and they heard the screeching of giant flying multi-winged bristle worms)... THIS is what allows the name to make TRUE sense. Ehaexon-literature says that not all demons look the same. They have infinite forms, as long as it instills fear. THIS, is a good example. (A burrowing worm monster with eight legs and multi-jawed mouths came out and roared, getting them to fire at it with their stun weapons)... You see my point now?
  • Xandy: Yeah, totally. Glad Nano ain't here. He'd have a heart attack. (They walked through a forest of planimals with visible hearts and could walk on spider-leg-like roots)...
  • Veta:... Has the planet always looked like this?
  • Magnum: Frankly... No. There should be WAY more life than this. If the Titanoids were 'threatening the ecosystem' as the report says... Then why IS it already ruined? Life on Sigros was MORE plentiful than THIS.... So my instincts were correct. Something has happened to this planet and its sentient lifeform. What or why, we WILL find out, if it KILLS us!
  • Clifton: I agree. This place looks pretty messed up. Heck... (He analyzed the red water)... The water LOOKS like it has pigmented microbes... But these microbes have stored blood inside of them from previous predation that... Goes as far as to make the water- (The water reached out at him) WHOA!... THAT! These microbes have evolved a multicellular hivemind.
  • Magnum: That was ALWAYS common... But now it's... Well, you know. There should be massive flocks of small flying worms. There should be massive bright grasses all over the ground. There should be WAY more forests of planimals than this. And the fauna should be more populous. Now those are all hardly seen.... Whatever happened... It didn't just affect the Sigros. Whatever happened... THAT'S what makes this surface 'Devil's Ground'.... And it even makes... A good place to perform a Darwinistic rite-of-passage.
  • Xandy: Why do we keep saying that? It's supposed to be 'Cerwanistic'. Guess maybe we're getting used to the Lougers' Lingo from their universes.
  • Samantha: Well, it's clear that this is because of magic of Magelian origin. Look. (They saw aga crystals)... On certain worlds with a massive impact of magic, like Magelio... Magic leaks into the soil. These are agas.
  • Clifton: Can you speak with them?
  • Radcliff: "Is this REALLY the time or place to talk to pretty rocks?"
  • Samantha: Well, not so much as "talking" in a traditional sense.... (She touched them and read the planet itself)...... Okay, it's still recovering from its destruction... BUT I can still negotiate.... Yes... Yes... Everyone? It seems unable to say everything to us because something is controlling them.... All it said... Is to find Kilttron, Theon, and... Elisean.
  • Stephenie: "Who's Elisean?"
  • Samantha: "I assume a, "lucky" survivor from a failed rite-of-passage."
  • Radcliff: "Luck, I assume being a stretch in this place."
  • Miria: Let's see her HoloID. (They brought it up)... Huh?... Nothing. No HoloID.
  • Samantha: Then that means everyone thinks she's dead.
  • Miria: Exactly. She wants people to think so. The Holonet may monitor vitals, but if one terminates their own HoloID, which is mostly illegal, and people think that that person is dead... They can cloak themselves from the Holonet. The Holonet IS responsible for controlling all things and watching over all people in the UUniverses, BUT faking your death away from the Holonet connection has ALWAYS been possible.
  • Telthona: MOSTLY illegal?
  • Samantha: Well, the law says that one can be dropped of charges of illegal unwiring from the Holonet if it's for a good reason, such as being undercover or to protect people.
  • Xandy:... Well, why have we not known that?
  • Zosimo: Because we thought we ALL knew.
  • Xandy: Ugh, gimme a break, I come from a planet that ain't as fancy as Xorizome r' something. The Omninet and it's silly branches are hard to grasp.... So... If Elisean is still alive... Then how do we find her?
  • Miria: We don't. Not yet. The main person to find is Kilttron IX, son of the Wizard King.
  • Radcliff: Well, I kinda have to agree to those two guys up there. He was sending his own son to his death. This place has GOT to have worse than the Sigros.
  • Magnum: Oh they do. There's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than them. There's predators bigger than them. This planet USED to be an ocean world long ago, and THAT'S why polychaete worms are the dominant species here. Marine bristle worms that CAN evolve in a non-aquatic environment, but instead can swim, underground. We must not forget, that Sigrozoans can feel vibrations in the ground because of the fact that they're blind.
  • Zosimo: True, but there's also larviforms. Insects that have evolved to stay in their larval form and thus create some makeshift skin-like body. (They see giant waterbear-like larviforms in the distance)
  • Xandy:... Okay, they're kinda precious.
  • Vancer: Hey, we got nothing to worry about, s***, everything is blind here.
  • Miria:... Seriously? You really don't know anything, do you?
  • Vancer:... Apparently not.
  • Zosimo: *Sighs* Sigrozoans are only blind because they live underground. When you live underground, you don't need any eyes or vision.... Most of the time. But point is, creatures that don't have eyesight have to substitute with a different sense. In fact, if you're from the Lougers' Universes, you can compare these creatures to creatures called 'Graboids'... But in some ways different, like their life cycle and their appearance. But again, they live primarily underground. Though I must warn you, we WILL have to go underground on this mission, because, the subterranean areas of this world is where the TRUE ecosystem can be found.
  • Magnum: It's true. Though terrestrial life isn't as plentiful as it should... Well... Being underground is a very effective way of avoiding terrestrial catastrophe. From what I heard, the planet's crust is very soft and therefore navigable. Thus it's filled with a global matrix of caves.
  • Zosimo:... Well, if we're going to be exposition mrixies, may as well just indulge. (He showed a holographic diagram) Sigrozoans are both asexual AND bisexual. They have no gender, and reproduce asexually when they need to repopulate by detaching a part of itself and making it grow into a copy of itself. But to diversify their genetics, they reproduce sexually, producing egg sacs that hatch diagonally. This hatches a new segment part blended with the genetics of its parents, like any other offspring. They in turn grow up in several stages because they have new genetic code that need to mature. This is a tiny cute marine worm that swims in mud or wet dirt, looking like a standard soil-based worm. Then they break up into several hive-minded segments that consume and consume for itself to fully mature. After they reunite, they become the full-on adult. As for the final life cycle, the mating life cycle... Well... Let's just say it gets gross. They don't sexually reproduce in the traditional way. They... kinda fuse their segments into one and become... The final mating cycle. This fused cycle eats more often than ever before. Each segment becomes an egg, and when they all become eggs... The fuse cycle is done and the parents die. Like we said, they are carnivores, but they only eat fauna from their own planet, and not from other planets, because the alternate chemicals in our biology is toxic to them.... Or at least WAS. Now... Well... (They went into a forest of polychaete worms similar to tube worms, Christmas tree worms, crinoids, photosynthetic symbiotic plant-like worms, and non-worm planimals and found a dead Sigrozoan)... Fresh death.
  • Xandy:... Poor thing.
  • Zosimo: Circle of life, now shut up. (He scanned it)
  • Veta: Did it die from eating otherworldly animals?
  • Zosimo: No. In fact, bioscans indicate that otherworldly meat... ENHANCES its body.
  • Everyone: WHAT?!
  • Radcliff: "THEN HOW IN SAMHILL DID THE THING DIE?!"
  • Zosimo: "(Scans the carcass again).... Old age."
  • Radcliff: ".... Exact, age?"
  • Magnum: "Let's just say, Sigros are the worm equivalent to the Brains. They can last for a PRETTY long time. This must've been an elder on its last legs."
  • Radcliff: "D'AWWWWW, FRIIIIIIICK?!"
  • Zosimo: I think this fits in with the rite-of-passage. Each one allows the Titanoids to evolve and beat a newly-evolved version of these creatures. But it prohibits their sentience evolution, obviously. THIS one had amazing power, strength, resilience, far less vital organs, higher stamina, and durability. It could go for MONTHS without food.
  • Clifton: MONTHS?!? WTF?!? IT'S BAD ENOUGH THEY CAN BASICALLY LIVE AS LONG AS THE BRAINS, NOW THIS?!
  • Magnum: (Angry) Whoever rendered these wonderful beings to SAVAGERY... Has crossed a line.
  • Cloakblade: Hey, guys? We might've missed a clue here. (They found Daobassa and Titanoid footprints)...
  • Zosimo:... Fresh footprints. The ones who made them are close. And they lead right to- (They found that the footprints lead to an underground cave)... The underground.
  • Vancer:... F***!
  • Radcliff: "..... Welp, they're dead. Let's go back to the capital and arrest Beardo on assumption."
  • Suddenly, a green light formed behind them....
  • Radcliff: "..... Mother."

BLAST, THEN BLACKOUT?!

Chapter 2: Story of Kilttron IX

Later.

  • The group found themselves dangling upside down over a green pit.
  • ???: "(Crude French Accent) Hohohhohhohohoho! Look at what the feloot dragged in?!"
  • A Daob revealed himself.
  • Daob: "A bunch of busy body outsiders! BAH?! I spit in your faces?! (Actselly started to spit at them?!)...."
  • Hudson: "..... Please don't tell me this jerkhole's suppose to be Theron."
  • Theon: "If you meant, THEON, That is I...."
  • Clifton: "..... Aw great, we found our defect bug sympathizer Daob, yet personally wise, still that Daob hospitality."
  • Theon: "BAH! Being polite gets you killed! Every rulebook of survival would vouch for me! Nice guys finished last!"
  • Hopstar: ".... Ya know what? I vote we don't include this monkey in resolving the conflict and just get Elisean and Kilttron."
  • Miria: "Perhaps for the best."
  • Theon: "..... HOW DID YOU KNOW THOSE NAMES?! YOU WILL NOT GO NEAR THEM?!"
  • ???: "Theo, wait up!"
  • A Male Titanoid came up!
  • Male Titanoid: "Maybe they can help us!"
  • Theon: "..... And yet your father sent you down here? BAH?! You have no sense of survival ediquette!!"
  • Samantha was uneasy about Theon's unusual fascination with survival.
  • Theon: "And yet you have a warrior queen mother and your father a wizard king?! You have superior genetics, you dumb brat!! USE THEM!!"
  • Miria: "Prince Kilttron then?"
  • Kilttron: "Actselly yes, I- (Gets smacked by Theon) OW?!"
  • Theon: "DON'T TALK TO THE PRISONERS, IMBECILE?!"
  • Kilttron: "Ow, ya hit me! I know you're grouchy about being a reject of your race, but don't take it out on me!"
  • Theon: "What are you talking abou- (Looks as if he just remembered something) Uh, I mean, right right, BUT STILL?! IT ISN'T PRACTICAL TO PLAY THE FOOLS HERE?! WE NEED TO KILL THESE GUYS?!"
  • Samantha was extra suspicious now. Theon initially looked like he had no idea what Kilttron was talking about, yet suddenly he acts like he does....
  • Clifton: "(Quietly) My bulls*** senses are going off."
  • Theon: "So with that, I-"
  • ???: "(Suddenly, a duel-edge spear landed in front of Theon, freaking him out)!..... Grom has different plans, ya big ape!"
  • A Female Titanoid came in, pulled off the spear, and faced Theon.
  • Hudson: "Annnnnd here's Elisean."
  • Elisean: "Now wise up, and get them down, WITHOUT hitting your death pit?!"
  • Theon: "(Grumbles angerly in French-like language as he lowers the group and away from the pit)...."
  • Elisean: ".... (Gets the group and points the spear at them) This being said, why the heck are you guys here?! I know I have been away from society in a long time, but if memory serves, Sigrus doesn't have a tourist industry!"
  • Kilttron: "Els, relax, they said they're here to help us-"
  • Elisean: "I don't want YOUR opinion on the matter, Greybeard Jr, I want to hear from THEIR mouth!"
  • Vancer: "..... Hey Miria, we just found ya a penpal!"
  • Miria: SHUT UP!
  • Elisean:... You sure these guys are dangerous? They look too dumb to do any real damage.
  • Xandy: You'd be amazed how often we hear that.
  • Miria: ANSWER HER QUESTION PLEASE!!
  • Xandy: FINE, GEEZ! Ahem! We came on behalf of the Grand Council to solve some... Conspiracy, involving Kilttron's father.
  • Kilttron:... What about it?
  • Samantha: We know he has the Book of Darwield.
  • Kilttron:... AW NO, YOU GUYS BELIEVE THAT TOO?! FIRST THEO THINKS THOUGH, THEN ELI, THEN THE SIGRO, AND NOW YOU GUYS?!
  • Theon: "And dare I ask why you seek that book?"
  • Samantha: Because it's Magelio in origin. I am a student there. We came to keep this book from causing damage to these three planets.
  • Theon:... HAH! Why should we believe that?
  • Kilttron: Theo, they're misfitted enough for THAT to be believable.
  • Theon: PBBBBBBBT- (Elisean grabbed his tongue) EEEEEHEEHEEEEHEH!!!
  • Elisean: Don't PBBBBBBT us, buster! You want to help us? ACT LIKE IT! (She cartoonishly stretched his tongue and let go slapping him in the face)
  • Theon:... Ouw!
  • Miria: Can you let us out now?
  • Kilttron: Not yet. We need to know if you're safe to keep around. Since Theon left his race, his brother has been scouting Devil's Ground looking for him... And the worst part, he's imprisoning feral Sigrozoans to help him.
  • Vancer: Wait, I thought they hated bugs.
  • Kilttron: Sigrozoans are worms, not bugs.
  • Vancer: What's the difference?
  • Kilttron: Oh, NOW you're one of those people that think worms and insectiods belong to the same camp, huh?! Oh what, you think Spiders and other anthropods are bugs too?! Don't you know ANYTHING?!?
  • Vancer:... Apparently not.
  • Elisean:... Our point being that we don't need Titanide getting clues to find us. He's an EXPERT tracker. Theo knows about the Daobassa's operations and weaknesses.
  • Theon: "I do? (Stops himself in as if he realized something) Duhdudhduh, YES, I do!"
  • Samantha stared with dagger'd eyes at Theon.....
  • Elisean:..... Okay, in theory, he's SUPPOSED to, anyway. Titanide is the only one posing as an obstacle. He's going to do anything to help his race.
  • Xandy: Okay, here's what might be a dumbass question... If these Daobs hate you Titanoids... Then why haven't they destroyed your colonies here? Both Titanmorna AND Sigrus are part of the same system.
  • Theon: "Heck if I know. Duh, erm, well, THAT IS TO SAY, uh, the Daobs reasonings are BEYOND your understanding, peasants!"
  • Vancer: "I'm actselly from a very rich family, asshole!"
  • Theon: "Could've fooled me with cheap guns like THAT, boy!"
  • Vancer: "CHEAP?! Okay, I am SO IN FOR NOT LETTING THIS CLOD HELP US?!"
  • Theon: "How DARE YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL PEONS!? I-"
  • Elisean: "AHEM?! (Theon backs up)..... Look, guys, if it helps, neither me or even Princey here had a great first impression of monkey boy, neither. In fact, Grom's not crazy for him neither."
  • Libby: 'Would that be because the situation the planet is in is pretty much cause of the Daobs taking away the Titanoids' planet?"
  • Kilttron: "Aw come, I'm still wrapping my head around what the worm told me!"
  • Miria: "Would you care to elaborate on what you and Elisean and Theon are talking about?"
  • Klittron: "Oh sure! I love explaining my life story to people. It all started when I got up from bed this morning. I had breakfast, did some sparing with the guards, impressing the ladies, (Elisean rolled her eyes at that), saying how much Daobs sucked as a race-..... Uh, no offense, Thes."
  • Theon: "On what? (Makes a surprised face as a duck sound was heard) Oh, I mean, YEAH YOU BETTER APOLOGISE?!"
  • Samantha just had a dark scowl at Theon. Not even getting offended to implications of Daob racism is the last straw....
  • Samantha: "(Sternly) I double not taking Theon with us."
  • Kilttron: "Hey come on, he's actselly a.... Nice-ish guy, when ya get to know him. Anyway, after badmouthing Daobs, I had lunch, it was reedgrass noodles again, my favorite, and then-"
  • Miria: "Pardon my rudeness, young prince, but can you skip the filler and get to where your rite-of-passage began?"
  • Vancer: (Dubbed as Timon) Not that your daily routine isn't... Fascinating.
  • Kilttron: "Yeah, Eli and Thes were like that too. It all started when mom and dad called me into the Throne Room."

Flashback.

  • Kilttron: "(Was seen kneeling) PLEASE DON'T GROUND ME, PLEASE DON'T GROUND ME, THE COURT JESTER DARED ME TO PRANK THE ROYAL SERVANTS WITH A FAKE SIGRO COSTUME, PLEASE PLEASE?!"
  • Greybeardo: "Son, you are NOT here for THAT! Though I will intend on talking to you about THAT when we cross that bridge!"
  • Kilttron's mother: "It's about how it is your special day, son."
  • Kilttron: "(Like an excitable spazz) EEE?! IS IT MY BIRTHDAY?!"
  • Greybeardo: "Weeeeeeeelllll, it is coinciding with your coming of age, yes. Son, you are now old enough, for the rite-of-passage."
  • Kilttron lost his excitement as his mandibles closed shut.....
  • Kilttron: "..... (Looks at a non-existent watch) Oh would you look at the time, I gotta go do another sparring session, KAY'BYE?! (Makes a run for it?!)"
  • (Vancer snickers).
  • (Vancer): "Dude, (Chuckles), You really ARE a wuss!"
  • Greybeardo: GUARDS! GET MY SON BACK IN HERE?! (They did that)
  • Kilttron: NONONONONONONONONO, PUT ME DOWN!! (They put him back) DAD, YOU CAN'T MEAN THAT! I'm 16 going on goshdarn 17! The rite-of-passage isn't until I'm 18!
  • Greybeardo:... Well... Here's the thing. Morale is at an all-time low. People are starting to doubt this rite-of-passage's effectiveness since recent ones have reported that the Sigros are... Spontaneously evolving.
  • Kilttron: THEY WHAT?!... THEN... THEN WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME?!? YOU KNOW I DON'T STAND A CHANCE!
  • Jegren: Son, this is for the good of the kingdom. We need to prepare for the future by seeing whether or not this claim is based in any fact.
  • Kilttron: BY POTENTIALLY MURDERING YOUR OWN SON?!?
  • Greybeardo: Children have been sacrificed and come out mostly unharmed. But... The recent ones have been becoming failures. Your survival will restore morale, especially since you're going after, the infamous GROM-MOROIOUS.
  • Kilttron: WHAT?!?... And, if I don't make it?
  • Greybeardo: Well... You're banished if you are still alive yet unsuccessful. That's the law.
  • Kilttron: BANISHING YOUR OWN SON?!? OUT IN DEVIL'S GROUND?!? YOU DO THAT, THEN YOU ARE SENTENCING ME TO DEATH!! I'M LITTERALLY YOUR HEIR?!
  • Greybeardo: Laws are laws, son! I am the King, and the king must cast out all failures. If I just spare your life because you're my son after a failure, it wouldn't be fair for those that DON'T have your kind of luxury! If I break the law for you, I would be expected to break the law for EVERYBODY! Failure of such would dismantle loyalty to the kingdom!
  • Kilttron: WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD! YOU'RE THE KING!! THE LAW IS YOURS TO COMMAND!!
  • Greybeardo: SON! You must understand that this law exists to reflect how cruel life is. You can't just fail and expect no consequence in this cruel world. That's not how life works. Life isn't SUPPOSED to be fair. It never has. The Daobassas NEVER played fair, so neither should we.
  • Kilttron: MOM, SURELY YOU THINK THIS IS CRAZY! FILICIDE?!? SENDING ME OUT THERE AGAINST MONSTERS THAT HAVE BEEN EVOLVING, EVEN WHEN I'M NOT OLD ENOUGH FOR IT?!?
  • Jegren: Kilttron, I'm hardly a fan of this myself, but please heed your father! This is about the ENTIRE race! The need to the many, outweigh the means of the few. That means sacrifices have to be made.
  • Kilttron:... I... I can't believe you!
  • Greybeardo: YOU'RE GOING TO DEVIL'S GROUND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND I DON'T WANT ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT!
  • Kilttron:... Fine! You want me to do a rite-of-passage? WELL I WILL! Just note that if anything happens to me, BE SURE TO FEEL ASHAMED FOR IT?! (He left in a quick huff)
  • Greybeardo: WAIT, SON! (He tried to stop him with his magic, as he had a magical amulet to keep him from doing so)... SON, THAT IS MY AMULET!!
  • Kilttron: Not anymore! As of right now, NEITHER of you are my parents! (He left)
  • Greybeardo: SOMEONE STOP HIM!! (Despite the guard's best efforts, Kilttron jumped off into the Devil's Ground below)......
  • Jegren:... I KNEW this was a bad idea!
  • Greybeardo: No! This doesn't change anything. Look, he just jumped into Devil's Ground with no fear. I've never been more proud of him! This is STILL what we wanted. Besides, he's too good to die from a fall like that. He can take off into the air at the right time. (He was seen doing that)... See?
  • Jegren:... I hope you're right. This was a VERY risky decision! If people had seen that, morale would've been MORE wrecked!
  • Greybeardo: Honey... I PROMISE you, he will be okay! I know it in my GUT! I thought him everything I know, and he's going to make it through.
  • Jegren:... Still... He's unarmed out there!
  • Greybeardo: Well, that means he's got guts. THAT'S MY BOY! GO GET EM, SON! BRING US THE HEAD OF GROM!!! (He cackled)
  • (Kilttron): I did what he wanted... But then I didn't. I found the cave... THIS cave... And I found out some shocking things... I was armed with nothing but a piece of junk metal from the AFTs. It wasn't a good weapon, but it was all I had. I approached the dark caves.
  • Kilttron:... (He kept his guard up watching for monsters)...
  • ???: WHO'S THERE-
  • Kilttron: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! (He ended up getting the crap beaten out of him by Elisean)..... Ow.
  • Elisean:.... Consider yourself lucky your parents didn't saw that.
  • Kilttron:... Ellie?!... Wha... I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!! EVERYONE SAID YOU DIED ON YOUR... Rite-of-passage!
  • Elisean: No! I, intentionally failed, cause going back to a society that threw me here to begin with is not worth the trouble. (Quietly) Along with finding out, certain things.
  • Kilttron: Well, for your information, I was fed up with being put into this BS rite-of-passage because I was sent in too early, AND my parents wanted me to kill Grom-Moronous or whatever the f*** it was called, ALL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO RAISE MORALE!! THEY WERE SENDING ME OUT HERE, KNOWING THAT I WASN'T GOING TO SURVIVE! So I cut those two old bugs out of my life! And I am NEVER going back. I WILL kill Grom, but when I'm good and ready!
  • Elisean:... Well... I can't let you do that.
  • Kilttron: "I-..... Wait, what?"
  • Elisean: "All I can say is that, I found out things that, makes this rite-of-passage more wrong then already."
  • Kilttron: ".... Aw frick, GROM of all Sigros is becoming sentient, is he?! Of all of those worms to do that?! Well Eli, we're gonna need to work together to take him down-"
  • Elisean: "Kilttron, I mean it! Going after Grom is not a good idea!?"
  • Kilttron: "Hey, you're lucky mom raised me to be a gentleman to females, or I'd made a crass comment right about now- (Elisean grabbed his antennas painfully) OW OW OW OW OW OW?!"
  • Elisean: "Okay, you stubborn royal pain in the thorax?! I didn't wanted to have to do this, but CLEARLY, you need to learn the HARD WAY!
  • (Kilttron): Not only was my old childhood friend still alive... But she had ALSO met Grom. And it ALSO turns out, Grom was... Intelligent. Sentient. I was raised with the knowledge that they were the apex predators of the planet, and killing them was supposed to be quelling their population. But it was all a lie. These creatures USED to be the sentient species, until my father turned them into game monsters to advance the hardiness of our 'titanic' race!

Flashback ends.

  • Kilttron: "Then we ran into Theon. Went as well as how you guys first met him, so, it doesn't need to be explained."
  • Miria: ".... For conformation, we would like to meet Grom."
  • Theon: "THE ANSWER IS-"
  • Elisean: "Theo, if these people are to believe us without assuming we're crazy, we have to show Grom! Otherwise, if they just saw him without context, he'll get mistaken for the other Sigros."
  • Theon: ".... Ugh, FINE! But you two are terrible at keeping secrets?!"
  • Hopster: ".... Y'all sure you want this idjit around?"
  • Magnum: "Cause one would think a bug sympathizer would be, more gentle-spirited then this."
  • Theon: "It's called being a product of your environment, peons?!"
  • Xandy:... Eh, guess we can't fault you for that.
  • Theon: Now then, before we introduce ya to Grom, what exactly DO you know about this mythical 'Book of Warfield'?
  • Samantha: Book of Darwield, and It's just been lost in VEEERRY ancient times. This said, it's mostly a theory and it won't be proper to explain it pre-maturely if it turns out to be wrong. (Sternly) Also, I do not feel confidence in your worthiness to know such things, Theon.
  • Theon: Well!
  • Samantha: Yes indeed. It's nothing ENTIRELY personal, Theon, but I nary feel confident about your true character given how you acted, and not just the attitude, but that you don't feel consistent to what we were expecting a defect Daob to behave. You clearly still behave within expected standards and haven't treated Kilttron NOR Elisean any nicer than a normal Daob, so, everything is under speculation with you.... Now, about the amulet that Kilt has on him.
  • Kilttron: Oh, this? It's... Supposed to be an antimagic shield. My dad used it to protect himself from magical enemies, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's real, cause I never saw my dad with the thing.
  • Samantha: It is. Like your girlfriend said, we're too misfitted for that to be unbelievable.
  • Kilttron:... (He blushed and so did Elisean) NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!
  • Samantha:... From those blushes alone, I'm pretty sure you WILL be.
  • Elisean: Oh, shut up, this is not about US! This is about Grom. Speaking of which, we have arrived.

Chapter 3: The Sigrozoan Story Revealed

  • The group only found themselves before a large empty hole....
  • Radcliff: "..... Well this is a ripoff."
  • Kilttron: "Oh, sorry, ya kinda have to call for him first. Ahem! HEY GROM?!"
  • The place began to tremble as a particularly large Sigro rose from the ground and towered over the group. This was Grom.
  • Grom: "Kilttron, let it be made clear that I am not designated as a therapist for your parent issues, so- (Saw the HA)..... Ughh, don't people understand the importance of secrecy anymore? First a Daob of all beings, now this?"
  • Kilttron: "Don't worry, they're, relatively more nicer then Theon."
  • Grom: "But still, in case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to AVOID contact with folks that could be creditable to your crazy father, and-"
  • Hudson: "If it uh, helps sir, Greybeardo, doesn't even know that we're here cause we're suspicious that-"
  • Grom: "You people knew?!"
  • Samantha: "We're under reasonable suspicion that Greybeardo may hold responsibility with, (Quietly) A certain book."
  • Grom: "Well, allow me to prove a theory as FACT by saying, YES, GREYBEARDO IS RESPONSIBLE?!
  • Samantha: I KNEW IT!
  • Clifton: Hon, we ALL kinda did. Who else here could use magic of this caliber?
  • Grom: "Well, yes, it's true. But first..... Some enlightening backstory....."

Flashback, but it got cut off!

  • Zosimo: "Actually by all grounds, we all kinda know about the whole thing with the Sigros welcoming the Titanoids, so-"
  • Grom: "HEY, AT LEAST LET IT BE KNOWN FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, OKAY?!"

Flashback resumes.

  • (Grom): "But, I will cut out certain filler and get to when I, the once leader of the Sigros, had made that declaration to let the Titanoids into the planet. It was a time before Romaa was known t the grander community, and how both Titanoids and Sigros were obscured beings. The Daobs actions for kicking out the Titanoids, was because of greed. A rare and ultraviolet purple gem called vulcanysta."
  • (Hopster): "So that's it, huh? So this was greed motivated!"
  • (Grom): "Yes. This gem is worth a great deal of wealth."
  • (Theon): "At least approximately $12,000.52. And with how much was on that planet, it could measure up to about 300 trillites."
  • (Xandy): 300 TRILLION DOLLARS?!? WOW, YOU TITANOIDS COULD'VE BEEN REAL TITANS WITH RICHES LIKE THAT!!!
  • (Elisean): Yes indeed. It's what gave us our technology after all.
  • (Grom): "So, I did much as I can to ease Greybeardo.... But then, he found that accursed book, used it to curse my people into mindless beasts, and then, after all it had done, he still KEPT THAT DESPICABLE THING?!"

Flashback ends.

  • Grom: "That book has pocessed him."
  • Kilttron: "Assuming that thing's real."
  • Grom sighs.....
  • Grom: "I, am litterally proof of my people's true ownership of the planet, WHY IS THAT HARD TO BELIEVE?!"
  • Samantha: ".... Greybeardo is using the book to erase everyone's memory of the Sigros as they truly are so he can fully get away with it. He even likely did it to his own family, while you were raised under lies!"
  • Kilttron: "I mean, no offence to Grom, but, how do we know Grom isn't just being, delusional here?"
  • Hudson: "Dude, your dad, is a wizard king, and yet you question about him having any fault?"
  • Kilttron: "He sacrificed his lower arms and other body parts to keep the Titanoids safe while evacuation was going on before I was born! That isn't consistent to-"
  • Samantha: "Then we shall judge Grom's memories for himself! (Began casting a Magilo Spell)!"
  • Kilttron: "Hey, anti-magic amulet, remember? You can't- (Aurlena swiped that amulet away from him).... HEY?! THAT'S-"
  • Kilttron got placed under Samantha's spell as he began to see Grom's memories!
  • Kilttron: AAHHHHhhhh... (He saw through Grom's eyes as he escaped a magic flash from a faraway Greybeardo regressing the Sigrozoans into primitive feral monsters behaving like Graboids, as the rest fled underground. But then later, Greybeardo found them underground and did the same thing, leaving Grom to escape in deeper underground)... I... HOW COULD HE?!?
  • Samantha: That's not all... I think there's something YOU should know about this. (She did another memory spell that showed him a flashback)

Flashback

  • (Kilttron): (He was taken back to his own POV a year ago when he accidentally stumbled upon the hidden tomb of the Book of Darwield)... Wha?
  • Kilttron: What is this? (He opened the book and found a lot of the spells that Darwield made in regards to controlling space and it's celestial entities including asteroids, planets, stars, black holes, etc.)... I... THIS is what made dad so powerful?!... WHY DOES HE HAVE THIS?!? This... This kind of magic?! It's TOO DANGEROUS! Who knows what one could DO with such magic?! You could destroy planets with cataclysmic asteroids. You could collide planets into one another. You could create novas, black holes, anything... And you can even control people via their own souls. Even memories. You could accelerate and decelerate mnemonic history and regress people to how their memories were before or after.... This kind of magic shouldn't exist!
  • ???: Do you think this is a problem? (Kilttron looked behind him to find Greybeardo)... YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN HERE!!
  • Kilttron: DAD, HOW COULD YOU KEEP SUCH DANGEROUS MAGIC DOWN HERE?!
  • Greybeardo: I KNOW IT'S DANGEROUS, THAT'S WHY IT'S DOWN HERE! I DIDN'T WANT TO LEARN TOO MUCH! BUT THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!! You defied a direct order from your father, YOUR king! TREASON! There's things that must be done, to people, WHO CANNOT KEEP, TO THE RULES!
  • Kilttron: DAD, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU STOPPED READING THIS, IT SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST!!... I have to destroy it!
  • Greybeardo: YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING! MY MAGIC DEPENDS ON THE EXISTENCE OF THAT BOOK!
  • Kilttron: THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT MAGIC AT ALL!
  • Greybeardo: KILTTRON, PUT THAT BOOK DOWN, NOW! THAT, IS AN ORDER!
  • Kilttron:... No!
  • Greybeardo: (Scoffs) NO?!
  • Kilttron: I HAVE TO DESTROY THIS BOOK BEFORE IT FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS!! THE MAGIC INSIDE THIS BOOK CAN DESTROY PLANETS, AND EVEN STARS!!!
  • Greybeardo: I SAID, GIVE ME THE BOOK!!!
  • Kilttron: AND I SAID, NO! (He tried to burn the book)
  • Greybeardo: MY MAGIC! (He swiped the book, smacked Kilttron in the face, and magically flashed him, erasing his memory and making him think he found nothing when he went down there as he was locked in his room)

Present

  • Kilttron:... I... I knew about the book and I tried to destroy it!
  • Samantha: But he couldn't let you. The spells used in that book and the power it gives is entirely dependent on its existence. You were threatening to take that all away.
  • Kilttron: ".... Well, we're in bigger trouble now, cause at this point dad's too powerful. Not meaning to underestimate you guys, but, the fact you had to keep yourselves from being readily known means that you might not stand too much of a chance."
  • Clifton: "I'd be challenged by that, but given what that book's capable off, yeah, this can't be a SOLO-HA affair."
  • Xandy: "Lodgers?"
  • Hudsons: "Lodgers."
  • Miria: "Just be sure to warn them of the orbital cannons. I think those things could be problems."
  • Clifton: "Oh, and tell them they have to get in the AUU without going to the Alpha Universe first, we don't want them slowed down by Quarantine craziness."
  • Miria: "In fact, also ask if any of them are safe from their universes' own infection issues?"
  • Theon: "There's more of you weirdos?"
  • Samantha: "(Sternly) Oh I'm sorry, is that inconvenient to any possible plans YOU might have?"
  • Theon: "Duh, no, no, not at all, I just, assumed this was solely your affair."
  • Xandy: "Well by all means we'd normally be happy to handle things ourselves, but a Wizard King with an over-powered book of forbidden space manipulation magic is CLEARLY the kind of thing the Lougers might be needed for."
  • (Deadpool): "Well that and this is an episode of their show, so-"
  • (Scroopfan): "Come here you! (Grabs Deadpool with cartoonishly long cane) MAN, we really need to increase security!"
  • Hudson: "It's also because two of our members are absence today and we're not at full power."
  • Theon:... Well... Those Lodgers, or so I heard back when I was still on Daobin, are powerful enough for that.
  • Elisean:... Who are they?
  • Theon: Well, since you guys are isolated from the outside, they destroyed the Villains Act after accidentally stumbling upon it years ago. They have been safeguarding this realm for years.
  • Kilttron:... Shouldn't it be illegal to meddle in other-dimensional affairs?
  • Theon: Ehhhh, 50/50 by a rough margin.
  • Xandy: But to be fair, the Villains Act did it first when they abducted the mother of one the most powerful Lodgers, so THEY broke that rule first. So, now we're both technically stuck helping each other....
  • Kilttron: I'm sold if it helps my people!
  • Elisean: Tch, you are TOO easily win-over, Kilttron. So... Are you guys going to call them or what?
  • Xandy: Well, there's this concern of Theon's brother, Titanide, was it? He could be able to hack into our comlink.
  • Theon: Oh, don't worry. (Sinisterly) He's not a problem anymore.

Elsewhere.

  • Another Daob was seen frozen in ice.

Back to the group's location....

  • Hudson: "..... Wow, that got dark on how you basically ice-aged your brother."
  • Theon: "Oh he's not my brother."
  • Samantha had a scorn-riddle scowl....
  • Clifton: "Yikes, so, I, take it you denounced your family then?"
  • Theon looks as if he realized something....
  • Theon: "..... Uh, yeah, let's, go with that."
  • Samantha: "(Groans angerly)...."
  • Theon: ".... Hey, fair's fair, he and the others denounced me FIRST, I'm just doing the ol' "Goes around Comes around"."
  • Miria: "So our Daob spy is no longer an issue?"
  • Theon: "Yes, and I made the Daob government think that he's still fine, so they will NEVER think to send out a replacement if they think there's no reason to."
  • Miria: Then we must get moving.
  • Theon: Indeed. Those nasty thrashads like to feed this time of the day.
  • Samantha: "Well I must make it of note that you Theon are not-
  • Clifton: Wait wait wait, hold on a second.... The f*** is a thrashad- (A giant Borderlands Thresher-like worm monsters appeared).... Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer..... RUN!
  • Vancer: OH, DON'T BE P***ASSES! LET'S FI- (They squeezed him up quickly) AHHK! (They shot him free as they ran)
  • Miria: NEXT TIME WHEN WE SAY RUN, WE MEAN RUN!!!
  • Vancer: LOOK BITCH, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE THE LEADER, DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO RESPECT YOU! YOU GOTTA EARN TRUST, NOT DEMAND IT!
  • Miria: CAN YOU NOT START THIS RIGHT NOW, VANCER?!! YOU WILL DO AS I SAY OR I'LL PUNCH YOU IN THE NARDS SO HARD, I'LL REVERSE YOUR PUBERTY!!
  • Vancer: SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! THREATS DON'T GET YOU TRUST!
  • Miria: AND THAT INSUBORDINATION IS WHAT GOT YOU DEMOTED DOWN A CLASS AWHILE BACK!!!
  • Zosimo: GUYS!! LESS WHINING, MORE RUNNING!!! (They ran comically away from the thrashads)
  • Kilttron: "DANG IT, THES, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS PLACE WAS PREDATOR FREE!!"
  • Theon: "FOR THE TIME BEING!! YOU JUST DIDN'T LET ME FINISH MENTIONING THE PART IN THAT THIS IS A THRASHAD MATING GROUND!!"
  • Elisean: "AND YOU NEVER ATTEMPTED TO TELL HIM AFTERWORDS?!"
  • Theon: "WHAT AM I, HIS KEEPER?!"
  • Samantha: "Ya know, your implication of being an insectoid sympathizer is VERY MUCH IN DOUBT!! In fact, I question your actual purpose here!!"
  • Theon: "OH FOR PETAN'S SAKE, WOMAN, I EVEN KILLED THAT STUPID DAOB- UH, MY OWN BROTHER WHILE I WAS HERE, DIDN'T I?"
  • Samantha: "YA KNOW, YOUR ACTUAL BLOODLINE WITH TITANIDE IS ALSO IN QUESTION!!"
  • Theon: "UGH, YOU'RE WORSE THAN THE MA- UH, MY MOTHER?!"
  • Samantha: "..... OKAY, THIS IS ENOUGH!! (GETS SCARY MAD WITH MAGELIO MAGIC AS THIS STOPPED THE THRASHADS, AND MADE THEM DECIDED THAT MAYBE GOING AFTER THE HEROES WASN'T A GOOD IDEA AS THEY CRAWLED AWAY LIKE COWARDS)?!"
  • Vancer: ".... OKAY, WHY DIDN'T WE THINK TO JUST PISS SAMANTHA OFF TO SCARE AWAY THOSE STUPID WORMS, I-"
  • Miria: Because we can't just use bullying to our advantage.
  • Ucasashi: I vouch for this statement. Such thing is dishonorable.
  • Vancer: No offense, Ucasy, BUT I DON'T THINK WILD ANIMALS REALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HONOR?! WE NEED TO DO MORE EFFECT AND LESS LAMENESS!!
  • Miria:... What is WRONG with you?!
  • Vancer: WHO CARES?!? WE HAVE A MISSION!!
  • Xandy: SHUT, UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!! (The yell echoed all over the area)... What, is UP with you all now?! WHAT, IS THERE SOME KIND OF LIFEFORM THAT INCREASES ANGER OR SOMETHING?!
  • Theon:... Actually, yes. (He notices the plant which he destroys)... Adrenophage. It has a symbiosis with predators and sentient plants to feed it the blood of prey or poor f*****s who die from their own anger. It's a planimal that eats sunlight, water, and blood. Blood is what make it defend itself and fuel it's defense mechanism. Wherever blood is spilled, there's chance these nasty things will grow.
  • Hopstar:... Yep. Devil's Ground is DEFINITELY an appropriate name. Any initial doubt of why that's so, is STRAIGHT out the window.
  • Elisean: There's MORE reason for the name than THAT, primarily the underground predatory fauna.
  • Vancer: WHAT, EVER!!! C'MON! (They ran off and summoned HA vehicles to blast off into the vast expanses of the planet)

Later, in a safe spot with a campsite.

  • Samantha was seen meditating her anger out, from not just the plant, but from Theon's less than desirable behavior.
  • The other HA members came in.
  • Hudson: Okay, we want to know about what happened back in the cave, like, what the heck is wrong with you, Samantha? You've been glaring at Theon like that ever since we met him. Cause that looked way too intense to be because of a plant! You're usually a very chill girl.
  • Clifton: "Yeah, you haven't been that mad since what went down in Manatera...."
  • Samantha: "..... (Gets up from Meditative Pose), Guys, think about it for a minute, have you paid attention to Theon? His rudeness despite the fact that he's supposed to be a Daob defect? His obsession for survival? The fact he still treats Kilttron and Elisean poorly for being a sympathizer? The fact he would initially be confused at what we're talking about then immediately corrects himself? That he didn't initially act offended by Kilttron's comment? His quickness to ask about Darwield's book? He even acted confused about having a brother?! And how eerily quick he was at disposing him like he did!"
  • Clifton: "Okay, so he's a jackhole and a bit inconsistent, and we did agreed to push the jerk out of the mission."
  • Xandy: "All in favor of keeping Theon out, say Aye?"
  • All HA Members: "Aye!"
  • Xandy: "All against?"
  • Silence....
  • Xandy: ".... Annnnnd there ya go, the ayes have it."
  • Hudson: "But all the same though, why are you so judgey? I mean, sure, he could've been, nicer.... And with better memory, but, why are you glaring at him?"
  • Samantha: ".... Because there's something I don't feel confident about Theon. He may not actually be what he says he is."
  • Miria: "And as our Magelio-user, we trust your judgment."
  • Samantha: See? She agrees with me.
  • Hudson: So it's settled. We're booting Theon out of the day-saving attempt. Now, let's go back to worrying about saving the day. This magic isn't going to destroy itself. (They left)

Later, at the area near the capital.

  • Kilttron: "You guys SURE you don't wanna bring Theo along? I mean, don't get me wrong, I ain't crazy for Daobs as much as the next guy, but, we're literally pushing away the strongest guy we have just because he's being an asshole."
  • Elisean: "Kilt, it's not like you and I have anything positive to say about him either."
  • Kilttron: I know, but still.
  • Xandy: "Well good news, I called the Lougers and they said they're gonna show up the quickest they can. So, Kilttron, Elisean, you're, gonna have to mind their eccentricities, espeically since you're downward mandibles, when closed, make you look like daytime show characters, but then when you open them, they might-"
  • Kilttron: "Don't worry, we get that a lot. I'm just surprised none of you guys had that reaction. Father said we're an obscure race."
  • Clifton: "Then he either lied about that, or that information is at worst outdated but still held onto as fact, because, the Titanoids are not THAT big of a secret anymore."
  • Kilttron: "Then why did it take so long for anyone to come and help us?"
  • Clifton: "..... That's, a good question."
  • Samantha: Pretty sure it's easy to guess that magic from that book is responsible.
  • Xandy: Well, if that's the case, how is it NOW that magic couldn't prevent this planet leaking out? And it can't be because of the Frits, cause at this point magic should be at working order now, so that includes the book!
  • Magnum: Oh, it wasn't internal messaging. The rest of the UUniverses noticed that the Sigros were missing and so did the Titanoids. Pieces were put together until finally we noticed that something was wrong.
  • Kilttron: 'Wait a minute, but, dad said the Sigros are an obscured race too!"
  • Clifton: 'Again, either he lied, or that's outdated information he kept around to keep Titanoids stupid about anything, cause certainly Magnum's mom at the least had an idea what the Sigros are."
  • Magnum: "So is every bug race of the AUU."
  • Xandy: Yeah, makes more sense to me.
  • Kilttron: Ugh. Is it wrong of me to hope that dad didn't realized this? I'm not a fan of him being a willful lier!
  • Hudson: "Sorry to break the bad news, dude, but, even if you dad didn't realized he was using inaccurate and outdated information, it's still lying by a rough margin."
  • Zosimo: "Now there's just the factor of why this incident was never called out by any Titanoid in terms of the Daobs."
  • Xandy: Guess they decided to go for the UIS approach and only wanted to defeat the Daobs on their own, and not from outside help.
  • Miria: Yes indeed. Races out there could use some pride, but some pride is misguided, like this.
  • Kilttron:... So, what do we do until these Lodgers get here?
  • Hudson: "Well since they're unlikely to bring their van, they did said they're bringing a fancy teleportation device, so, it's just the matter of hoping they appeared in the right realm and at the right place, cause, it's been abit of a while they used that thing, admittingly."
  • Elisean: "Tch, ya made them sound like they're abunch of clowns with that sentence."
  • Xandy: "Uhhhh, (Nervous Chuckle), It might be uh, fair to warn ya.... By all means, they're great at what they do, but..... They tend to be, rather eccentric heroes."
  • Zosimo: "That's just being generous with them."
  • Elisean: Eh?
  • Xandy: Think of them as, an un-copyright friendly team of cartoon misfits from another dimension. Like, scenes from their movies pasted onto a movie that don't really fit. That's basically them. Ask Theon, as unreliable as HE was, HE seemed to know who they were.
  • Kilttron:... Okay... I think it's safe to say, that the UUniverses have just become senseless.
  • Xandy: You've got NO idea! (The Lodgers came in through their portal device) OH, THERE THEY ARE!
  • Icky: You were right. This was WAY better than the van.
  • Archimedes: But one, we don't have a battleship to aid us, and two, WE TOOK JUST AS LONG TO GET HERE AS ON THE VAN BECAUSE WE HAD NO F*****G IDEA WHAT THE COORDINATES TO THIS PLANET WERE!!
  • Lord Shen: "Well at least miraculously we avoided an accidental visit to an Alpha Universe planet during all that!"
  • Icky: "Yeeesh, speaking of that, tough break for you guys that you're dealing with you're own virus shenanigans. Thank goodness Pang Bing got us all a sickness immunity spell so there's no risk of virus sharing here."
  • Kilttron: ".... Uh, greetings, Louge-"
  • Po: "HOLY CRUD, YOUR LOWER JAW JUST OPENED UP!"
  • Kilttron: "..... It's actually my downward mandibles. It's just that when they're completely closed, it only looks like "normal" faces."
  • Icky: "..... Damn evolution, you scary!"
  • Tulio: Pretty sure we've met aliens with a split lower jaw before. In fact, we've seen ALIENS with different jaw designs. Aliens can't ALWAYS be like humans or Earth animals you know.
  • Icky: Still! Evolution, you scary!
  • Kilttron:... Yeah, you're right. They're weird.
  • Vancer: Heh, weird he says. That's being WAY too generous with them.
  • Sparx: Alright, so, what's the catch-up?

French Narrator: One Episode Explanation Later...

  • Kowalski:... I guess we're dealing with yet ANOTHER Darwinist scenario.
  • Skipper: Yeesh, knowing Kron, literally our FIRST introduction to those who have a survival-of-the-fittest mindset, this planet is in DESPERATE need of not going out the same way Kron did.
  • Xandy: Hey, like we said, they don't know what they're doing, and it's pretty admirable that they have their pride. They want nothing to do with the USRA OR the UIS, but we're heroes they NEED.
  • Gilda: So, you need a way to get that silly magic book from King Sillynamia-Name-Number-Whatever, and destroy it.... AAAAND you have a Daob with you?
  • Zosimo: "Well, HAD, cause we told him to stay out of the mission cause Samantha had a bad gut feeling about him."
  • Boss Wolf: Calling it, he's not a real person.
  • Elisean:... I'm pretty sure he is.
  • Kilttron: I don't know. Given Samantha's suspicion, that seems to be the only legit explanation.
  • Elisean: Oh, what do you know?
  • Kilttron: PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU! You've been in this wasteland MORE than I have, and I only have 31 hours of rite-of-passage left!
  • Elisean: Well, you left on your own, why do you want to even go back when your "daddy" basically dumped you? Didn't you say that you're never going back?
  • Kilttron: That was BEFORE I found out the truth from Grom.
  • Elisean: Yeesh, you're just as inconsistent as you were when you were a kid.
  • Kilttron: AND ALL THAT'S CHANGED ABOUT YOU IS MY PERCEPTION ON YOU!!!
  • Icky: Calling it, those two are gonna be a couple at the end of this-
  • Kilttron/Elisean: SHUT UP!!
  • Icky:... okay!... They're still gonna be a couple.
  • Merlin: Alright, I'm breaking it up. Guys, we have work to do. You want to save the Sigros and stop Greybeardo, then ACT like it. I too am experienced with Magelio, but not so much in its lore as Samantha is. I CAN find a way to depower Greybeardo.
  • Sandy: "But to do that, you two need to stop being petty about the past and quit blaming each other for something that's neither of your faults! It wasn't like you two KNEW about what Greybeard was doing BEFORE a talking worm told ya about it!"
  • Kilttron and Elisean began to ease up from each other.....
  • Kilttron: "..... I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm usually a much more chill dude then this, it's just.... It's the Devil Ground effect, it brings the worse into you! Kinda comes with the territory of being in a land with someone coming out to kill you in the next 20 seconds! I mean, you think I WANT to get hissy at my childhood friend?! it's just, I'm stressed out about being in the Devil's Ground, and at the time, the last thing I wanted out here was what I thought was anger-driven conspiracy theories?! And turns out, they were right!? So NOW I'M EVEN MORE FREAKING STRESSED BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE MY FRIEND AND A SENTIENT SIGRO SERIOUSLY!! ALL THE WHILE THAT I WAS MAD AT MY DAD EVEN!!"
  • Gazelle: "Well, if you clearly had demonstrated a lack of fondness for your father, then, why were you in denial about what you were being told about the actions he did?"
  • Kilttron: "Hey, being made to do a deadly rite-of-passage was one thing, cause I heard HORROR STORIES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO LESS THAN LUCKY TITANOIDS!! At most, I was only trying to guilt my parents for even WANTING TO ENDANGER ME, BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THAT MAKING ME AN EXCEPTION TO THEIR RULE WOULD PISS OTHER PEOPLE OFF!!"
  • Elisean: "(Much more sympathetic) Well, to be fair Kilt, this tradition has built a lot of critics over the years, clearly, neither your folks can't afford to not-"
  • Kilttron: "I GET THAT!! I GET THAT PERFECTLY!! BUT, THE THING IS, THEY DECIDED TO THROW ME IN EARLY, BEFORE I WAS EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO AT LEAST BE MORE MENTALLY PREPARED, IRONICALLY ENOUGH, BECAUSE OF GROM!! BECAUSE APPARENTLY A SIGRO GETTING SENTIENT IS BAD FOR THE RITE-OF-PASSAGE?! INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE SIGROS WERE EVOLVING AT A DANGEROUS RATE THAT WOULD END UP KILLING THE TRADITION CAUSE THEN THE WORMS WOULD GET TOO SMART FOR EVEN THE MOST CAPABLE TITANOID!!"
  • Miria: "Well that and sentient being hunting is considered vastly illegal for both USRA and UIS territories, so-"
  • Kilttron: "BESIDES THE F*****G POINT!! What I'm trying to say here is that..... WHAT I SAID ABOUT HATING MY PARENTS WAS JUST, A SPUR OF THE MOMENT THING!! SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM GUILTY OVER!!"
  • Elisean: ".... That, explains so much, honestly."
  • Kilttron: "I mean, (Cries), By all means, I am EXTRA MAD AT DAD NOW THAN I WAS BEFORE, but, putting me through the passage was one thing, cause, I know it was gonna happen eventually, it, it wasn't like this came out of the blue for me!! It's just, I thought I had time to mentally prepare!! Kinda why I had to do a lot of sparring sessions with my friends in the guards, especially when I thought Elisean was another name for the memorial!! I get the idea it was so the Daobs don't just PUSH US OVER AGAIN LIKE THEY DID FOR OUR TRUE PLANET, ESPECIALLY, IF IT WAS FOR A STUPID PRICEY ROCK!!"
  • Zosimo: "A very rare "Stupid Pricey Rock" mind you-"
  • Kilttron: "BESIDES, THE F*****G, POINT!! I was more or less willing to pardon my dad's stupidity and Cerwanism if it at least was for a purpose! But to find out that dad artificially created the very monsters we've spent and wasted generations on fighting back?! That, THAT F*****G BROKE ME!! (Kneels down crying, as unknown to him, Large Spider-like legs began to rose from the ground) HOW, HOW COULD HE SCREW OVER THE SIGROS LIKE THAT?! THEY ALLOWED US TO LIVE IN THIS BUSTED ROCK, WITH NOTHING IN RETURN, AFTER THE DAOBS KICKED US OFF OUR ACTUAL HOME FOR GREED, AND HE DOES THIS?! CAN MY LIFE GET MORE BULLS******R, UNIVERSE?!"
  • Hudson: "..... (Scared) Does arousing a rare Emotosite Spider count?"
  • Kilttron: "I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF MY MENTAL MELTDOWN, (The Spider fully revealed itself) ENDED UP ATTRACTING THE ATTENTION OF AN EMOTION PARASITIC SPECIES OF NICHE SPIDER?! IN FACT, I DARE THE UNIVERSE TO TRY THAT?!"
  • Icky: "I think the universes' are FATALLY ahead of you, man!"
  • Kilttron looked behind him and saw the aroused spider, hissing in hunger of Kilttron's unrelenting sadness!
  • Kilttron: "..... DAMN IT UNIVERSES, I WAS NOT BEING SERIOUS- (The Spider grabbed him and ran off) AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH?!"
  • SpongeBob:... How much more random can the bestiary of the multiverse get?
  • Elisean: Emotosite Spiders are empathic vampires. They kinda feed on mentally-tortured people including those who are banished. With that rite-of-passage, it's kinda brought them endless supplies of ruined individuals. Their venom sends people into emotional breakdowns so big, they kinda die from extreme emotion, and thus the spider eats the killed prey.
  • Lord Shen: Then WHY THE BLASTED DEVIL AREN'T WE GOING AFTER IT?!
  • Elisean: THAT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA! (They ran after the spider)
  • Bill: WHY DIDN'T WE DO THAT WHEN THE SPIDER LEFT?!?

Underground Acid Caves

  • The Emotosite Spider was seen dragging Kilttron in a cocoon of web....
  • Kilttron: ".... (Depressed) Lesson learned, if I survive this, I'm never challenging the universe again.... Nor would I have breakdowns on the ground where Emotosite Spiders are. (It hung him onto a mass of hundreds of other exiled Titanoid exoskeletons)... Aaayyyee! (Some of them were seen having died in positions of extreme emotion)... AAAYYYYEE!!! (The Emotosite Spider then returned to its Queen)... AAAAIIIIIIYYYYYYYYEEEEE!!!! Please tell me that's the last Aiiyyee I have to let out. This place already smells MORE like acid than the ACTUAL acid. (The heroes found him)
  • Po: Echk! This cave is leaking with acid.
  • Elisean: This would be acid from the Titanoids' industrial days on this planet. The toxic wastes had to go somewhere, so, given Greybeardo's treachery, he figured that underground was the best place.
  • B.O.B: Yeesh, some people just DON'T respect the environment.
  • Elisean: Well this ISN'T OUR environment. We WERE kicked out.
  • B.O.B: Still not very respectful. In fact, it kinda makes it worse.
  • Elisean: "Touche."
  • Lord Shen: It certainly smells like an industrial park here.
  • Tigress: Everyone, hush! We don't want to alert that Emotosite Spider's queen.
  • SpongeBob: QUEEN!?
  • Tigress: (Quietly) WHAT PART OF HUSH DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!
  • SpongeBob: Sorry. (Quietly) QUEEN?!?
  • Tigress: Indeed, that surprised me too. They're eusocial?
  • Elisean: Not normally. In harsh changing climates, they do what they can in groups to survive. Some even use the acid to shape their homes. OTHERS use it as a chemical weapon. (Some spider drones were seen using the acid to melt up parts of the rocky walls for building and others used the acid as a chemical spray for intruders) It certainly helps them as they search for food... Like Kilttron.
  • Pervis: Well let's go down there and slaughter all those spiders!
  • Buddha: Pervis, you know the rule! No more killing wildlife even if it attacks us.... Anymore.
  • Bagheera: In our defense, back then, we didn't know how far it's society went, so you couldn't blame us for what we did to that golden-frilled dinosaur. We thought Carbungia was one of those eat-or-be-eaten primitive worlds where killing was okay for survival.
  • Xandy: Yeah, that makes sense.
  • Elisean:... Unusual folk. But still, in this case, it's okay. These spiders can reproduce quickly. In non-sentient eusocial insect groups, castes have short lifespans and live AND die to serve their queen.
  • Mantis: Sadly, that's true. In real life, bees die after they use their stinger, but the queen always has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more where that came from.
  • Elisean: And in some semi-sentient or sentient animal societies, they have the same problem, but they HAVE cloning technology.
  • Thunderclap: Ouch. Must SUCK to be a bug.
  • Elisean: So, yes, it is okay to kill any Emotosite Spider that comes our way. They have plenty of eggs and plenty of food... And a LOOOOT of food thanks to Greybeardo. (They saw all the dead exoskeletons of the exiled Titanoids)... THIS sight is what Greybeardo has forced on us.
  • Icky: "How the heck does that crazy old fart plan to make an army if he only succeeds more even having a death count?"
  • Elisean: "Titanoids can actually produce egg caches that can have a bazillion new younglings."
  • Icky: "But let me guess, a lot of those newborn kids end up dying to defects or sickness so it reduces the number to a surviving few, right?"
  • Elisean: "Sad, but true. I can barely remember the names of half of my siblings. Some of them weren't even able to get named yet."
  • Icky: Sad. But hey, that's how bugs procreate.
  • Mantis: Hey, some of us CAN be self-conscious about that. There's MANY things that make a bug that is self-aware self-conscious, including their sacrificial lifestyle AND their short lifespans... AND how some insects live.
  • Viper: You mean like the fact that your mom ate your dad's head?
  • Ralph: UGH! So GROSS! Why would she even DO that?
  • Mantis: Because that's what mantises DO!! THEY EAT THEIR OWN MATES!!!
  • Ralph: Well you're from a world of sentient animals! Seems like doing something natural like that would be a crime. (Eddy nodded in agreement)
  • Mantis: Look, every species has its own customs. It's our version of ethnicity. So can you PLEASE not be racially insensitive, or in this case, speciesally insensitive, if that's even a word?
  • Elisean: Quiet! You'll end up getting an Emotosite Spider's attention- (One of the spiders was seen heading for them) Oh now look what you did?!"
  • Merlin: Relax, we can fix it. (They teleported out without a flash somewhere else as the Emotisite Spider saw nothing)... See?
  • Elisean:... Still! Don't do it again!
  • Mantis: "Okay okay, don't get testy!" (They sneak across the nest)
  • Elisean:... How is so many of you still able to stay out of sight? There's over a hundred of you. These spiders should at least sense that there's hundreds of people here.
  • Icky: Take it up with whatever they call TVTropes here.
  • Hudson: "Screenclishes."
  • Icky: "Yeah, that."
  • Xandy: My best answer is that they've trained to hide their numbers.
  • Magnum: I've seen them do stupider things that still worked.
  • Elisean:... Well, what's the plan?
  • Boss Wolf: Plan? What do we need a plan for, lady? We just go in, swing what we have, free Kilt, and GTFO!
  • Elisean: Uh, I have to say no to that, There might be too much for even you.
  • Boss Wolf: We don't have to fight ALL of them! We just came here for Kilttron, not deep-fried spider.
  • Elisean: It doesn't matter. They could seize us all before we even leave.
  • Icky: "Not if this industrial-strength can of raid has anything to say about that. (Holds up bigass can of raid)."
  • Elisean: WHAT THE-... Where did you get that?! And how in the world could you store THAT?!?
  • Icky: Questions like that make your brain explode, woman. (He used it as it killed most of the spiders, allowing the gas-mask-wearing heroes to save Kilttron and escape)
  • Kilttron: (He woke up)... What took you so long?
  • Elisean: So long? It's only been a few minutes.
  • Kilttron: Has it?... Huh. When I was in that cocoon it felt longer.
  • Elisean: It's just the juices inside messing with your brain.
  • Kilttron:... Who are you again?
  • Elisean:... (Sighs) You really WERE in that cocoon too long.
  • Melman: What's wrong with him? I AM a doctor. A witch doctor, yes, but hey, same difference. I could use some experience in AUU diseases.
  • Elisean: Ahem! Do you guys ALWAYS get off-topic?
  • Skipper: We've done stupider.
  • Elisean: Well, Emotisite Spider cocoons put prey in a suspended animation that affects their brains to terminate motor function and memory. At least enough functions of the brain are shut off to allow for emotion, the food of the spiders, or at least stuff to make the spiderlings grow, or also at least, what they use as their appetizer. Like I said, they're truly carnivores that just use their empathic abilities to hunt.
  • Melman: Brain damage, huh?... Well, nope, that's nothing I can cure.
  • Boss Wolf: Who the hell can? (Merlin magically fixed it)... I mean... Aside from those who have magic? Thanks a lot, Star, both destroying AND bringing it back.
  • Kilttron:... GUYS!... Oh thank TITANS! I thought I was Emotisite chow. This is EXACTLY why people don't like being on ground!
  • Icky: "No s***. When it's not cursed worm people, it's emotion-parasitic spiders."
  • Kilttron: This has GOT to stop. I saw people that my father banished here all over the place in that cave. His Cerwanistic views for a stronger race of Titanoids is going to kill everybody.
  • SpongeBob: Well let's get started.
  • Lord Shen: We need a plan.
  • Kilttron: A... A plan? Are you serious? There's so many of you. Why the HELL do you need a goddamn plan? You can all kick his ass and his armies quick! You guys have magic too!
  • Merlin: It's not so simple.
  • Kilttron: BULLS***!!! YOU JUST GOT HERE, YOU DON'T KNOW S***!!! BUT I DO!!! JUST HAVE ME TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT, AND BAM, PROBLEM SOLVED!!
  • Merlin: And who's to say that he's not prepared?
  • Kilttron: WHO'S TO SAY HE'S NOT?!
  • Merlin: You! You ARE his son!
  • Kilttron: I'm not knowledgeable of ALL he has.
  • Merlin: There you go. The moment we march up there, there's a good chance that he's going to be prepared.
  • Kilttron: And if he's not?
  • Merlin: We're NOT risking that.
  • Kilttron: WELL YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE! I HAVE ONLY 26 HOURS LEFT, I AM NOT SPENDING A LIFETIME IN THIS WASTELAND LIKE ELISEAN!!!
  • Duke: Bitch, that's PLENTY of time. Stop whining.
  • Kilttron: I AM NOT WHINING!! DO I SOUND LIKE I'M WHINING?!?
  • Sam: You REALLY don't want us to answer that.
  • Kilttron: UGH! THEN JUST EXPOSE HIS CRIME!!
  • Lord Shen: Who's going to believe us?
  • Kilttron: GET HIS STUPID BOOK!!
  • Archimedes: After you found it? No way he'll have it out in the open again.
  • Kilttron: USE YOUR MAGIC TO GET IT!
  • Samantha: KILTTRON, STOP TRYING TO FIND SHORTCUTS IN THIS! We can't just solve this with a quick spell.
  • Kilttron: UM, WE ONLY HAVE ALMOST A DAY BEFORE I AM BANISHED HERE FOREVER! I HAVE TO PROVE HIS CRIMES IN THOSE VERY MOMENTS, OR I'LL BE DUBBED AS AN EXILE TRYING TO VILIFY HIM!! NOBODY WOULD EVER BELIEVE ME AFTER I FAIL MY RITE-OF-PASSAGE!! THIS IS MY ONLY CHANCE!! YOU HAVE MAGIC!! WHAT GOOD IS THAT MAGIC IF YOU NEVER USE IT SMARTLY?! USE YOUR MAGIC TO HAVE FATHER TELL THE TRUTH! SHOW HIS CRIMES MAGICALLY THROUGH THEIR SCREENS!
  • Samantha: Greybeardo could be trained in occlumency, so mind-control can't work, AND people would dub any exposed magical views as doctored footage. Doing ANY of this cheaply would make us look lazy.
  • Kilttron: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?
  • Samantha: We should ask YOU the same thing! Why are you so obsessed with this?
  • Soothsayer: Because he was abandoned by his own father and basically sent to his death. Of COURSE he's going to be so emotionally unstable. We must go lest we lure those spiders back. (They left)
  • Merlin: Mister Kilttron-
  • Kilttron: PRINCE Kilttron!
  • Merlin: Quite, PRINCE Kilttron, you can't expect magic to do whatever you want at the drop of a wizard's hat. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but that's no reason to take your pain out on everyone.
  • Kilttron: MY FATHER IS A CRIMINAL, WHO ABANDONED ME! YOU GUYS ARE HEROES, YOU CAN MAKE ALL-POWERFUL MAGIC BE USED QUICKLY AND SMARTLY!
  • Samantha: We told you, that makes you look lazy.
  • Kilttron: SO WHAT?! AS LONG AS IT GETS THE JOB DONE, WHO CARES IF IT MAKES YOU LOOK LAZY?!
  • Samantha: We do! If we just use magic lazily once, more people will demand it done the same way too much.
  • Kilttron: HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!? WE'RE TOO ISOLATED TO TELL ANY OTHER WORLD!!!
  • Icky: "You'd be surprised how quickly word of mouth passes around. We're trying to set good examples cause of that, kiddo. Deal with it."
  • Kilttron: "(Uncharacteristic frustrated antiserum), Forgive me, if I started to sound like a brat prince, cause I am NOT like that, in fact, I hate bratty princes, but..... AS STILL PRINCE OF A TITANOIDS, I DEMAND YOU MORONS TO-"
  • Elisean: KILT, WILL YOU GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF?!?
  • Kilttron: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, B-
  • Icky: "(Interferes for both) OHHHHHHH NO?! We are NOT gonna go through a cliched romantic spat!"
  • Kilttron/Elisean: "NOT ROMANTIC-"
  • Icky: "Well it's still cliched, done before and a plot-time waster, SO QUIT IT?!"
  • Elisean: Oy. Given what Theon said about you, and not to defend that weirdo, but he does have some good points. Problems on worlds like this should ONLY be handled by those ON the worlds. Meddling shouldn't even be allowed. Relying on renowned heroes like you is what created UIS!
  • Hudson: "Technically, UIS happened because a Yurun decided to turn a beautiful paradise planet into a Garbage Dump Planet before the Skeps got to colonize it, along with Humans unintentionally usurping Bullas of significance by taking over Lyrma Solo and the fact the Vyrans lost a war to the Yaterons being rescued and-"
  • Elisean: "OKAY, LET ME REPHRASE?! Unregulated interventionism, REGARDLESS OF SPECIFICS, MIND YOU, IS WHY UIS EXISTS?!"
  • Miria: I must remind you both that this problem is BECAUSE of otherworldly meddling, and thus that argument does NOT hold water!
  • Hopstar: Also, worldly interaction is too frequent to have that as a good excuse.
  • Kilttron: EXACTLY! This is OUR problem, not the USRA's! Why do you people in the Heroes Act even HAVE these other-dimensional heroes a part of your missions? They don't belong here!
  • Icky: "Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there goes your likable female character privileges for biting the hands wanting to help you out. It doesn't already help your case that you won't appear again after this episode, don't make it worse by killing likeability."
  • Elisean was confused by that....
  • Cynder:..... Uh, ignore Icky, he was speaking in meta. As for your question: I'll tell you why, because the VILLAINS ACT STOLE MY MOTHER AND USED HER AS A SCAPEGOAT!! THEY HAD IT COMING!! THEY ASKED FOR OUR INTERFERENCE!!
  • Alex: Exactly. We help this UUniverses, BECAUSE there's a high chance that it'll do much worse to OURS!
  • Kilttron: WELL MAYBE THESE UUNIVERSES D-
  • Icky: "BUP BUP BUP?! Look, I know you're having a mental breakdown over your "Parents tried to sacrifice me cause LOL Ritual" crisis, but...... You don't exactly have much in planned future appearances either, Princey, don't soil it by pulling a Twilight Sparkle on us!"
  • Kilttron: "......"
  • Cynder: "..... Again, ignore him, he's just being him."
  • Kilttron: ".... Okay, I'll try to say this sounding less like a spoiled brat, cause believe me, under normal circumstances, I'm not like that! I'm just stressed, okay?! What I was trying to say, is that, well.... Don't you guys have your own villains to fight? I mean, be honest, if it wasn't for the Sudo-Zewinasaur's Mom being strangely kidnapped to our universe, ya probably wouldn't even acknowledge us!"
  • Alex: Well guess what, they WERE stupid enough to drag Qui into YOUR matters because Actual Zewinasaurs are corruption proof and they wanted a similar stand-in, and we happened!
  • Kilttron: "I mean, I can get intervening for that, but it's been corrected in like FOREVER now, why still-"
  • Shifu: "Do you think the kind of evil the VA produces, would never regenerate should the force with the responsibility for taking it down, were to decide to let this universe handle things on its own?"
  • Kilttron: "..... Um, well, they, haven't exactly been exactly relevant for years, so-"
  • Shifu: "Because of OUR intervention! We are why the VA has been made "Irrelevant", else believe me, this is not an ideal universe where great evils are one and done scenarios! Now by all means, if forces greater then gods had issues with our intervention, they would've LONG prevented our first instance alone! There'd be no telling what would happening if the VA survived for one extra year, much less beyond the day of its defeat! So if the cosmic forces didn't frown at the first time, is it not odd they never protested the several instances afterwords?"
  • Zosimo: Exactly! Any excuse you give is not making a point. Now stop whining like a larva, and GROW UP!!! LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU NEED US!
  • Samantha: Exactly, and you're not using your head. There's a VERY simple solution here. All we have to do, is lift the curse placed on the Sigros.
  • Kilttron: Only the book itself can undo the curse. Without it, it may as well be like the Sigros REALLY are like this to  Non-Magilos.
  • Samantha: But a Magelian magic-user like me and Merlin can bypass that. I should know. Magelian magic protocol states that magic of any caliber must ALWAYS have a failsafe to cancel it out should it get out of hand. And I have just the device for that. (She brings out a crystal wand)
  • Kilttron:... A crystal flashlight? Oh, what's that supposed to do?
  • Samantha: It's a bypasser wand. It's made from the same crystals that defend Magelio from black magic and evil sorcerers. But it only works on magic of Magelian origin, like this. We just have to use it on this planet's highest elevation to make it work. What is that?
  • Elisean: How should we know? We don't live on the ground.
  • Kilttron: ".... Ughhh, okay, if we're gonna do it the time-wasting way, maybe, Grom has an idea?"
  • Samantha: Then let's do it.
  • Chaos: You see, you big crylarva? Was that so hard?
  • Kilttron: UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
  • Puss: Prince Kilttron, I'm terribly sorry for what happened to you. But don't take it out on everyone. You are BETTER than this! We can help you give your father what he deserves. But you just have to trust us.
  • Kilttron: "Wait up, I never suggested I didn't trusted you-"
  • Icky: "Oh, and what do you call complaining about us wanting to be smarter about facing a powerful wizard king guy and not just barge in like easy targets?"
  • Kilttron: "..... That, is to say, I'm just trying to say we're under a time crunch-"
  • Tigress: "Well complaining about limited time, only takes away time."
  • Kilttron: ".... Again, I never said I didn't trust you guys, it's just-"
  • Po: "Look, dude, I get it, you're trying to be the royal nice guy here, and a happy-go-lucky one here, but, you're clearly not very good to keep consistent with it, dude!"
  • Kilttron: "Alot of that is just stress, I, I, I just wanting to have this nightmare end faster!"
  • Po: ".... I think I found the OTHER reason why your dad threw you down here. It wasn't just because of Grom! It's because your dad, thinks you're a soft-bellied loser?! (Kilttron was hurt by that) Hey, don't be too hurt, he is Darwinistic after all. Obviously he wanted you to be toughen up by this mess."
  • Kilttron: ".... (Sadden) I mean, given the circumstances, I can't be too surprised, but.... Dad, didn't liked me for who I am?"
  • Elisean: ".... (Sighs).... Kil, when we were kids, I, I did saw your dad facepalm in embarrassment or bang his head into a pole when you went through your..... "Dress" Face."

A montage of Kilttron acting like a princess was seen as Greybeardo was either having the exact reactions to it, either facepalming or smacking his head repeatedly to poles....

  • Kilttron: "..... (Sadden) That explains why he burned my dress by my next birthday. And, started to surround me with masculine stuff like weapons and Sigro Trophy heads..... WHICH IS MADE DARKER WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT?!.... Was my father, downright embarrassed with me?"
  • Po: "I seen this before. It was like what happened with a friend of ours back in Dreamworks China: His grandfather was afraid of him of being-"
  • Kilttron: "(Angered) A JOKE?! A DISGRACE?! IS THAT RIGHT?!"
  • Po: "...... Is it bad I said?"
  • Kilttron: "...... (Sighs calming down)..... I may not understand how you people work, but.... I appreciate your honesty, and, that's enough for me to trust. I'm still not, thrilled about this lasting more then it should, but.... Being a bratty prince, isn't gonna make this go faster. Also, again, I, HATE, Bratty Princes! Espeically this one guy from south provenance! He even said "Per-CHAUNCE" in a way that makes you want to punch him in the face! (Icky punched him) OW?! HEY?!"
  • Icky: "Sorry, the way you said perchance suddenly made your face punchable."
  • Kilttron: "I KNOW! That's what this other guy was like! He was someone that just makes you WANT to assault him?!"
  • Soothsayer: Obviously, your grief over this has made you mad and want things your way.
  • Lord Shen: Indeed. We must return to Grom and formulate a plan to life this curse. It's the only way to prove to the people what your father has done.
  • Kilttron: (Sighs) Look, I'm sorry. You know how we want to be independent. It's kinda hard to trust people like you so quickly.
  • Count Razoff: It's okay. I'm sure everyone else goes through it when they get dumped here.
  • Bubbha: This insect's need to make his people stronger to take back their planet is, KINDA moot when it means you do it by dwindling your population.
  • Kilttron: Dad said that it was to build resolve and teach success.
  • Bubbha: Well, losing his planet had clouded his judgment.
  • Frostbite: We've gotta get that curse lifted.
  • SpongeBob: Well, let's do it, and NOT waste anymore time making scenes.
  • Icky: Aside from MOVIE scenes? (Rimshot)
  • Gilda: Wow, that joke sucked, even by the standards of the worst downhills of the series.

Chapter 4: The Lodgers and Act's First Move

Grom's Cave

  • Grom: "You made a wise decision coming back to strategized vs. attempting to accelerate the crust of the issue."
  • Kilttron: "Well, we had some Emotosite Spider problems."
  • Grom: "Well, hope you didn't got too aggressive with our planet's sacred creatures. (The heroes got panicked at that)..... KIDDING! My people have a bit of mixed views with those emotion suckers."
  • Icky: "Don't scare us like that, dude, we're otherwise trying to be careful with messing with wildlife here ever since the awkward golden era of Season 1."
  • Xandy: "You mean the first time you were in our universes?"
  • Icky: "A non-meta term of it, yes."
  • Grom: Look, I GOTTA cope with being the ONLY sentient Sigrozoan remaining since this curse is still a problem.
  • SpongeBob: Not for long. Like we said, lifting this curse is the only way to stop Greybeardo.
  • Grom: Agreed. Unfortunately, the road to the tallest elevation on Sigrus is dangerous, like it always is for you guys I'm sure. Mount Gourney is highly guarded and the only grounded place that the Titanoids inhabit.
  • Icky: ".... But I thought these crickets hate being on the-"
  • Grom: "KIDDING AGAIN?! The place is flat-out deserted!"
  • Icky: ".... I kinda liked you better then I thought you were a serious sage."
  • Theon: Good plan! Alright, this time, I'm coming. As the ONLY Daob with a BRAIN, and before you idiot members say it, I meant FIGURATIVELY, I have a hand in this just as much as Kilttron does. Once you guys get rid of Greybeardo, I can take their battle against the Daobs from there. You guys won't be needed.
  • Samantha: Not so fast, Theon! Just because you make a point, doesn't mean we're going to leave at THAT moment. Your trustworthiness is STILL in question. There's some people in Titanoid society who know about you. We'll see who you really are and if you really DO care about the Titanoids, because you might be a spy for them, and all this is to make the Titanoids weak, and make destroying them easier.
  • Theon: AGH! Zeug alott! You HONESTLY don't trust me? I'm the ONLY Daob who gives a damn about these bugs, and you're HONESTLY going to blow me off?
  • Samantha: To an insectivorous race like yours, sharing concern for sentient bugs seems a bit hypocritical. For all I know, you're not even a real person, and this is just a cover story, and your 'brother' was just someone who was onto you.
  • Theon: ARE YOU- THIS IS GOING WAY INTO CONSPIRACY RUBBISH!! YOU NEED ME!! I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU!!
  • Samantha: Are you? Or are you helping us to help YOURSELF?! Who are you? I want the truth now!
  • Theon: AHEM! YOU HAVE A MISSION TO ATTEND TO HERE!!
  • Samantha: DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! ANSWER THE QUESTION!
  • Theon: "Are you SERIOUSLY treating me like filth?! Can't you just work with me here-"
  • Samantha: Not until we find out who you really are, Theon! What if our mission is part of the Daobs' higher plans? Or, if he's someone worse, and likely involved with the book? What if he has a mission of his own? Until we know the truth about him and why he has a bad memory and unusual behavior, we're not going anywhere!
  • Theon: HOW DARE YOU, YOU ACCURSED WRENCH, I-
  • Clifton: "(Punches Theon in the face)!....... Buddy, you killed any ability to be trusted for insulting my girlfriend! If you're not gonna give us answers, THEN F*** OFF?!"
  • Theon: "...... UGH?! IS MISTRUST TO DAOBS REALLY THIS INTENSE?! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?! FINE?! I, AM, LEAVING?! GOODBYE, YOU PEONS?! (Walks off)!"
  • Miria: "Samantha was right. Theon was untrustworthy if he does not co-operate to simple questions."
  • Elisean: "Well, I was never too crazy for Theon anyway, so, no true loss in my book. We're going to that mountain and ending this once and for all. (They left as Theon saw them go, and got angry)"
  • Theon:... Fine! Plan B!...

Mount Gourney

  • The Group arrived to the mountain.
  • Baloo: FINALLY! We're at the mountain!
  • Samantha: Right! Now we shall end this curse once and for all! (This music played as they climbed, and as they climbed, they got comically tired in random ways)
Grandia_-_Ps1_Soundtrack_2-19_-_Aim_For_A_New_World

Grandia - Ps1 Soundtrack 2-19 - Aim For A New World

  • SpongeBob: OH DEAR NEPTUNE!!!... UGH! CAN I GET SOME WATER?!
  • Sparx: (With two bottles) Sparkling or regular? Take your pick, I got more.
  • Elisean: Do not fret. We're almost there. Once we get to the top we can use the bypasser crystal and the curse will be broken.
  • ???: You mean, once I get to the top and use it. (Theon appeared and swiped the crystal wand)
  • Samantha: WHAT THE-?!
  • Mr. Krabs: WHAT THE FLIM-FLAM?!
  • Theon: You knew this was coming, you false heroes! (He ran for the top)
  • Kilttron: HEY!!!
  • Boss Wolf: GET THAT MONKEY!!! (They ran after him, but as Theon tried to use the wand, Icky swooped in and took it away from Theon)!
  • Theon: "YOU ACCURSED PEONS?!"
  • Samantha took the wand back! She used the bypasser wand, and lift the curse all over the world, returning filthy predatory Sigrozoans back to what they used to be!
  • Theon: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!"
  • Elisean: "Why are you saying that like it's a bad thing, I'm pretty sure this was what we were trying to do-"
  • Samantha: "Hold it!..... You were trying to usurp our victory, were you?"
  • Theon: "..... At least, I was trying to do something, le beneficial?"
  • Hudson: "Dude, trying to steal our victory only makes ya look even MORE untrustworthy. In fact, did you, seriously tried to use magic? Okay, no Daob agent I know, and fair's fair, I haven't really known Daob agents, nevermind a bug sympathizer, would use or be able to use any magic, much less MAGILO!"
  • Theon realized his mistake..... He only further doomed himself....
  • Theon: "..... I was, a unique case?"
  • Mantis: "Hark! My Bullshit Senses are tingling!"
  • Merlin: I am seconding Hudson's prior question. You shouldn't have knowledge on Magelian magic since you're from Daobin.
  • Theon: WILL YOU PARANOID BASTARDS GET OFF MY CASE ALREADY?!
  • Tigress: NO! You're still not coming with us until you tell us the truth.
  • Theon: I AM TRYING TO- (Tigress stomped hard on the mountain shaking all the snow off of it)
  • Tigress:... YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH US!
  • Theon:... Fine! If that's how you want to play it! I'll do this MYSELF! (The heroes pointed their guns and weapons at him)
  • Elisean: I don't think you heard her. When she says you're not coming, SHE MEANS YOU'RE NOT COMING!!
  • Theon: WHO SAID SHE WAS MY BOSS?!? (He tossed a smoke grenade allowing for his escape as everyone shot everywhere trying to hit him comically)
  • Kilttron: AAAHHHHHH!!! THEON!!! SHOW YOURSELF?!
  • Viper: Kilttron... He's gone.
  • Hopstar:... THAT YELLA-BELLIED COWARD!! Hmmph! Given that Freech accent, that's all he's good for: Running away like a p***y and/or surrendering.
  • Xandy: ARBASUS, MAN, CAN WE NOT USE STEREOTYPES HERE?!
  • Samantha: Guys, he's trying to steal our mission here!
  • Larry: But we still cured the Sigros just fine.
  • Samantha: Yes but besides the point?! If he knows Magelian magic, then he's more dangerous than we thought. We CAN'T let him steal our mission, because he's going to do it for his own agenda.
  • Kilttron: I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM!!
  • Elisean: "You were trusting him like a puppy-"
  • Kilttron: "LET ME COPE?!"
  • Samantha: So did I, and this is coming from a NON-Titanoid. Come on!

Chapter 5: Greybeardo's Crime Exposed

Capital Building.

  • Greybeardo was horrified by complaining Titanoids and sentient Sigros mobbing the castle!
  • Jegron: "HUSBAND, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LIED TO US ABOUT THIS?!"
  • Greybeardo: "My queen, please, I-"
  • The Heroes appeared from nowhere and pounced onto Greybeardo and beaten him up!

A beating later.

  • Greybeardo kneeled weaken and helpless as his dark Magilo Book of power was away from him during the skirmish.....
  • Theon proceeded to walk up and grabbed the book....
  • Greybeardo: "..... You can't, do this to me! I was only looking out for my people?!"
  • Kilttron: "(Sighs depressed), I'm sorry dad, but, it can't be like this anymore. What you did, isn't right. You lied to everyone, even me and mom! (Elisean began to regret being hard on Killtron in acknowledging that clearly, in spite of being Greybeardo's son, his direct seed and heir, Killtron was not aware of what was going on, or at least when he did, it wasn't in Greybeard's favor. Nobody but her and Grom were.) You used that, evil book, to malmitulate people?!"
  • Greybeardo: "IT WAS NOT LIKE I WANTED TO TAKE OVER THE FORSAKEN UNIVERSES WITH THAT BOOK LIKE I WAS SOME CARICATURE OF SOME MAD DICTATOR?! It was for taking our planet back?!"
  • Pang Bing: "Having well intentions eases you little of the fact you tried to sacrifice both the Sigros and your own people to achieve revenge!"
  • Theon: "Not to mention.... (Different voice) You were using it WRONG, OLD MAN?! (Began to magically transformed into none other than the still-living Darwield!)...."
  • Samantha: "I KNEW IT?!"
  • Icky: Oh, wow, what a juicy twist!
  • Miria: "(Growls angrily) Should've known a Daob sympathizing with insectoids was too good to be true."
  • Darwield: "Tch, figures this disguise was falling apart! Like you have guessed already, I lied about being a defect Daob who sympathizes with BUGS! As if a Daob would ever give sympathy to insectiods when they deem them a paradox on sentience!"
  • Xandy: "Ughhhhh, and there goes Rishon's hope of seeing good in the Daobs. Guess there's no reason to give them slack."
  • Hudson: Babe!
  • Xandy: I'm joking! But this guy CLEARLY gave em a BADDER name! (She was smacked by Darwield)
  • Darwield: "Anyway, as I was saying! You miserable old insect?! You have one of the most powerful Magelian books of survival, and you, waste it, biting the hands of the race that offered KINDNESS to your people?! I feel so, DISGUSTED THAT YOU FOUND MY BOOK FIRST!!"
  • Greybeardo: "I, I only wanted to-"
  • Darwield force-pushed Greybeardo right into a wall, further hurting him!
  • Kilttron: "DAD?!"
  • Darwield: ".... Thank you, miserable peons. I would've not reunited with my book without your help, even in spite of how you were quick to reject me in the beginning. Now, I am off to resume my research and-"
  • ???: "We have to thank them as well!"
  • The Modern Magilo Council appeared!
  • Eldridge: ".... Cause now we have a chance to finish what our predecessors started."
  • Darwield: ".... Oh let me guess, you guys are gonna give me S*** for my beliefs too?! Why are you guys so against me using these powers to help people?!"
  • Dimentus: "That's a misconception, buster! The previous seat-holders failed to mention that they weren't against your ideals. They didn't hated the idea, just the method. Messing with what you have will PISSED OFF THE OUTERS?!"
  • Darwield: "TCH, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?! IF THE OUTERS DON'T LIKE WHAT I HAVE, THEN, I DARE THEM TO TELL ME THAT, RIGHT INTO MY FACE?! (They immediately showed up)... WHY DOES THAT KEEP HAPPENING?!? DON'T KARMA FAIRIES HAVE LIVES?!?"
  • Citidel High Leader: "As a matter of fact, good sir, (Takes away book) We DO have a problem with this book! Espeically with it corrupted by the old insectoid, this thing is Inter-Dimensional Empires waiting to happen!"
  • The Citidel Leader Gave it to Prince Xalador, who ate it like a gumball, who then burped out the excess magic that turned the planet back to normal as a consequence of the book's destruction.
  • Darwield: "(At first looked to throw a major tantrum)...... (But then starts to cry, surprising everywhere)...... (CRIES)!?"
  • Prince Xalvador: "..... Odd, I figure Inter-Dimensional Imperialisum attempters are made of tougher stuff."
  • Darwield: "IS THAT WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT?! YOU THOUGHT I MADE THAT BOOK, TO TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE?!"
M._Bison_"Of_Course!"_HD_Edition

M. Bison "Of Course!" HD Edition

  • Darwield: "I, MADE THAT THING TO HELP PEOPLE?! I DIDN'T WANTED PEOPLE TO BE VULNERABLE TO UNSTOPPABLE COSMIC DISASTERS, LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PLANET?! IS THAT, TOO MUCH TO ASK?!"
  • Citidel High Leader: "Well, it's just, what you were experimenting with what was like a double-edged sword! Just because something was meant to be used for good, doesn't mean it's without other uses! Less honorable sorts would abuse that book, as Greybeardo had demonstrated. A weapon used for good ALWAYS has evil uses, even WITH magic."
  • Darwield: "(Angerly at Greybeardo while he was in pain)..... AND IT GOES BACK TO YOU?! (Charges up a fatal beam) YOU DESTROYED MY LEGACY, BY USING IT STUPIDLY?! I HATE YOU?! I HATE YOU?! I HATE YOU?! (Fired the beam!)"
  • Greybeardo flinched in slow-mo, as the Sigros fired mucus that made a gooey wall that blocked off the beam!
  • Darwield: "....... SERIOUSLY?! I CAN'T EVEN HAVE THE OLD BUG'S DEATH?! (Cries like a crybaby)!? I GIVE UP?! JUST GO AHEAD AND TAKE ME TO JAIL ALREADY?! I WANT TO WALLOW IN MISERY?!"
  • Samantha: "Well, I think the Elders would like their say FIRST, Darwield, (Magicly cuffs him), But thank you for surrendering."
  • Darwield: "And I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for racist mistrust to Daobs! And you pesky misfits!"
  • Icky: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
  • Darwield:... What was that?
  • Icky: Nothing.
  • Clifton: "You were also terribly inconsistent for being a Daob Sympathiser."
  • Darwield: "GIVE ME A BREAK, I NEVER SAID I WAS A GOOD ACTOR?!"
  • Greybeardo: "..... (Kilttron approached him)..... The Sigros, spared me from being destroyed by a tantruming Fallen Magilo Protogy...."
  • Kilttron: "Well, in all honesty, dad, it may not nessersarly be because of Kindness and forgiveness, even if it is their virtue."
  • Grom: "(Shows up, wearing a crown) It's because my people feel like death would spare you from proper justice and a chance for you to discover repentance in the ice planet of Oranos, Greybeardo. Death is too dark and bittersweet, all things considered."
  • Greybeardo: "..... SO let me guess? Are you gonna evict the Titanoids out now? I won't blame nor fault you for that."
  • Grom: "The answer, is both yes, and no. No as in as Titanamorna is still in Daob occupation. Yes perturbing to, that it is about time the situation is resolved."
  • Elisean: "You mean, you're gonna get Titanamorna back?"
  • Greybeardo: "BUT WHY DID YOU THINK I WAS DOING WHAT I WAS DOING?! THEY'RE TOO STRONG!!"
  • Miria: "That, is what we are for."
  • Citidel High Leader: "..... Okay, we'll let you in-realmers do your thing then. (The Cosmic Citidel poofed off)."

Titanamorna.

  • The Daob king was seen greedily swimming in gems!
  • Adviser: "Uh, your highness, we, have a problem."
  • Daob King: "YA MIND, WUSS?! I AM TRYING TO BATHED IN MY WELL-EARNED STOLEN PILE OF SOME OTHER NATIVE'S MONEY?!"
  • ???: "Is that correct?"
  • Daob King saw the Grand Council leaders!
  • Daob King: "(Girly Squeal)! I MEANT "AHH"?! I'M INDECENT?!"
  • Jling: "Made worse in that you're fat."
  • Warson: ".... Actually, given what the Daobs are guilty off, I'll let that slide."
  • Daob King: "..... We're gonna be made to surrender the planet, are we?"
  • Calixto (In a Self-Quratine Suit): "Big, (Sniffles), Time?! OW MY NOSE BURNS?!"
  • Daob King: "BUT HOW?! THE TITANOIDS WERE OBSCURED FROM THE REST OF THE UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY?!"
  • Rishon: "Have you, ever bothered to keep track of current events?"
  • Daob King: "...... Wuss..... Can you, refer to me to my newspaper collection?"
  • Adviser: "You mean the ones you and other kings had neglected for a long while?"
  • Jling Sling and less serious Main Councilors began to snicker quietly.
  • Rishon: "(Giggles) Oh, my goodness! You mean the Daobs never kept track?"
  • Daob King: "..... SERIOUSLY, ADVISER, PAPERS, NOW!?"
  • Rishon: Too late! Sir, I have already known about your reasons for taking this planet, but as the one for establishing peaceful racial relations, I must ask, in the name of everyone in this chaotic UUniverses, WHY DO YOUR PEOPLE HATE BUGS BESIDES YOUR DIET?!?
  • Daob King:... (Sigh) Fine! It's because we think insectiods are an evolutionary paradox! Happy?!
  • Rishon:... I... I figured there was a more tragic reason.
  • Daob King: Well surprise! We basically hate them cause we can't get the fact bugs get to have sentient races and yet anthropods are the most basest level forms of existence!
  • Rishon: "..... (Sighs), I fear there may be no fixing the Daobs reputation if their reason to despise insectiods is as simple as them being evolutionary elitists."
  • Daob King: Oh save it, it was never gonna be fixed even if we have a boohoo crybaby story behind us?! Just have me punished and take this stupid planet back if that's truly what you're here for.
  • Jling Sling: "Well in that case, you and your adviser-"
  • Adviser: "ANNNNNNNNNNNND (Gives resignation papers to the Daob King) Here's my resignation, sir! (Puts on fedora hat, coat and gets a suitcase and leaves cartoonishly)!"
  • Jling Sling: "...... Erm, ooooo-kaaaaaaaay. Then it's YOU who's just going to be arrested."
  • Daob King: "Oy. Not even all this beautiful gem pile is worth it anymore. (Hugs the gems) But it was nice while it lasted!"
  • As Council Enforcers grabbed Daob King and booked him, Rishon sighed depressedly.
  • Rishon: "So many insectoid races would feel very inclined to never forgive the Daobs in knowing now that their motivations are as simple as thinking that insectiods aren't logical for life."
  • Oswin: "Oh don't feel too discouraged, Rishon, not every race needs to have a tragic reason why they do what they do."
  • Naeem: "Yes. Sometimes it's as simple as, well, they're just being dicks."
  • Calixto: "Rishon, it's not the first time hostile races are just hostile for a mundane and non-tragedy motivated reason. They can't all be like the Phends."
  • Rishon: "But, we're now stuck in an unfixable racial issue! Insectiods will never forgive the Daobs if their reason for hatred onto them is, just because! This is gonna lead to Daobs being discriminated, I just know it!"
  • Jling Sling: "Oh relax, Councilor Political Correctness, it's not like they didn't already have a bad reputation as is with bugs! If anything, at least this information isn't gonna be surprising!"
  • Rishon: "But that's the thing! Now there's gonna be bugs that're gonna believe that Daobs may as well be likened to demons with this revelation! Those bitter by their actions will feel justified in wanting to pursue projects to DESTROY the Daobs!"
  • Jling Sling: "Oh like a tragic backstory would prevent that! We perfectly-acknowledged that the Phends had a robot god killed by the Fangpos, and there's still people that want THEM dead?!"
  • Rishon: "But what I wanted to happen was to encourage a process that prevents people from automatically siding with those that would straight-up want the destruction of the Daobs. Because the Daobs have no sympathetic reason for doing what they do, insects are gonna just line up to the nearest madman with an Astro Laser and/or a Nova Titan army that's gonna destroy the Daobs! Because then there's no such thing as being racist to Daobs, because it may as well be like that they're hurting bugs for fun?! I, (Sobs).... I need a minute. (Walks off crying)....."
  • Jling Sling: "..... Good grief, this virus stress, am I right? (Warson bonked Jling) D'OOOOOOOOW, THAT HURT?!"
  • Warson: "..... It's not just the outbreak that's gotten to him, Jling Sling..... It's because he found a racial situation, he can't fix."
  • Jling Sling: UM, DUH! RACISM IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX! AND DON'T DARE SAY 'NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE' AS IF TO IMPLY YOU CAN DEFEAT A MENTAL CONCEPT THAT WILL NEVER DIE!! REMEMBER THAT MAGIC WAS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF TRYING TO FIGHT OFF XENOPHOBIA!! XENOPHOBIA WILL ALWAYS EXIST, AND THERE'S NOT A GODDAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!! (Rishon was heard crying harder)
  • Jarvis: Way to go, jackass.
  • Jling Sling: Not my fault he can't handle the truth.
  • Taleen: "Jling, please, try to remember that Rishon is a Grand Councilor for racial relations for a reason."
  • Calixto: "Ahem, it, might be for the best we allow Rishon to cope. It won't help for us to bicker about this... Espeically not my with this accursed burning influenza. (Sniffles). OHHHH! You people are so lucky I am wearing a self-quarantine suit."
  • Lotus:...... Mission accomplished?...
  • Bayo: "Albeit, somberingly."

Hero Hive

  • Xandy:... Wow. That was a quick mission accomplished.
  • Magnum: Guess it was a miracle given in light of this outbreak.
  • Nanobyte: Glad you guys are back pretty quick, regardless.
  • Miami: As for Solus... He's making some good recovery.
  • Clifton: Well that's good.
  • Libby: "Kinda sucks that the Daobs basically hate bugs because they think sentience in bugs is paradoxical for them."
  • Tyberious Jr.: "Well, more so for Rishon. He's always going around wanting to see the best in everyone, and, the Daobs ruined that for him. Does it mean that Daob hate is okay then?"
  • Miria: "No one ever promises that doing the right thing always brings happier outcomes. And no. It's still too easy to despise the Daobs, even if their true nature is, far from desirable."
  • Xandy: "Mir's right, guys. Sure, the Daobs could've had better reasons for hating on bugs, but that doesn't mean we should allow some bug gone Xerxes to do whatever the fuck he wants! We should be ready to give that guy just as much of a bad day as we would to any."
  • Hudson: "You said it. Also, I'm glad the Titanoids got their home back and the Sigros had offered to help the planet heal from Daob shenanigans, and that the Troupe has confiscated all of the Daobs' ill-gotten jewels from the planet."
  • Clifton: "Just a pity though that there may never be a Daob with a conjustus though."
  • Hopstar: "I'm just disappointed I didn't get to beat up a Daob. Not even "Theon's Brother", who's name I forgotten."
  • Veta: "Eh, he was probably a nobody bug hater too. He'd be no different then Darwield's act anyway."

Meanwhile, back at Titanide's icy grave in Sigru.

  • Titanide's hand was seen holding a necklace, as it opened up to reveal that it was heart-shaped and had a picture for a female Mantid creature, the other side reading in holo-marker "Jezzmazopa and Theon Titanide, XOXO".....
  • Titanide: "(Muffled) Why has no one helped me!?"
  • (Deadpool): "Wow, extra heavy emphasis on downer much?"
  • (Scroopfan): "Giving what we're all going through, not alot of us are at chipper moods."
  • (Deadpool): "Hey, at least give this guy a chance for a better ending."
  • (Scroopfan): "Alright, alright! How's this?"
  • Titanide's mantid lady friend came in.
  • Titanide's lady friend: "..... (Sighs), Well, bad news.... You failed to redeem the Daob race of what they did, because, if I'm guessing, you got usurped by an ancient Wizard that pretended to be a Daob, BADLY, while you got considered to be a loyalist spy. Now Daobs are still hated without the one thing that can make help refix things."
  • Titanide: "(Muffled) He came out of nowhere, Jezz, I swear!"
  • Jezz: "(Sighs). I get it. Guess we're gonna have to find another bug victims of the Daobs to make a redemption story with if we're gonna fix this and blow it out of the water. (Turns on a giant heater)..... But I'm not upset with you being an icicle, you were just cheated, I know that. I did saw the news."
  • Titanide: "..... (Muffled) Did the HA-"
  • Jezz: "Yeah, they did. They're unlikely to ever believe in a Daob sympathetic for insectiods ever again after this."
  • Titanide: "(Muffled) (Groans), Now I'm an indie hero for life!"
  • Jezz: "Hey, don't worry sweetie, they are more or less still working out their rut anyway, so maybe staying an indie hero won't be so bad. Besides, you becoming a heroic Daob is still an awesome feat."
  • Titanide: "(Muffled) Thanks Sweetie."
  • Jezz: "Anytime."
  • (Deadpool): "..... Ummm, better?"
  • (Scroopfan): "Hey, it's better then nothing all thing's considered."
  • (Deadpool): "Hey, if it helps, I'm hoping this virus crud will be done and over with soon."

Epilogue

Dragon Temple

  • SpongeBob: Whew! What a short mission!
  • Lord Shen:... Seems a little lonely without Kairi around.
  • Banzai: Seriously, how long is her little trip gonna take?
  • Sir Hiss: Let her be happy. Besides, her not being around means we can explore what we can do without her. Kairi DID define us, so now we got to define OURSELVES.
  • Missing Link: Then how do we start?
  • Trixie:... Wanna go back to Equestria?
  • Everyone: YEP!
  • Icky: Ugh! ANOTHER Equestrian visit. Why can't any other world be in danger other than that place? I might not even remember where I came from!
  • Sir Hiss: "Well we're still in the School of Friendship Arc because we weren't able to get it out of the way quick enough before MLP:FIM wrapped up G4. May as well sleep on our made bed with this."
  • The Lougers set forth.

Fin.
