"We need to make a list of Immortal Power terms." Zais noted. "But anyways, I brought you here because I just had one liiiiiiiiiittle question."
Zais smiled. "How did you alter the Chrysalis?" it wasn't a good smile.

"Away from me, moron!" More of William's COMAS guards (the ones that had not been bitten, at least) pulled Stella away from him. "You vampire guards can leave as well!" William banished the bitten guards to another dimension, probably that of Centros, to keep them from becoming a problem.
Readdressing Stella, William went on. "Your blade is not the one I am searching for. That is not the True Sword. This is the True Sword." He tore the page depicting the True Sword from his encyclopedia and tossed it at the protagonists.

Karzem flexed his hands, chaos energy sparking between his fingers. He had never liked Zais. Zais was a madman. A serial conqueror. He desired power and would stop at nothing to get it. Such men with goals...Karzem could never understand them. What good was conquest when things could so easily fall to pieces?
"Chaos is a unstoppable force, Zais. Nothing can withstand the decay from order to disorder. Chaos is the natural state of the universe, and all else is a farce, a cruel joke posed by deluded men."
Chaos energy flowed through him freely now, casting a green, gold, and black glow about.
"But I haven't answered your question, Zais." He laughed. "And I don't think I shall."
-----
Stella pounced upon the page like a cat upon a laser pointer.
"Here it is! I found it! YAY! Now we can have the Scroll thingie!"

"I want the ACTUAL sword from the ACTUAL kingdom. Not a picture of it. Not your sword. BUT THE ACTUAL FIZZING TRUE SWORD!" William was fuming now, unable to comprehend how someone could be so infuriating. "Now, you will locate for me this sword, or you will never see the Scroll again."

Zais only chuckled. "Now now, Karzem. No need to be so rude. We both know our places in this universe. At the top of the food chain." He considered the other Immortal for a moment. "I won't fight you. Not at the moment anyway. Shocking, I know."
He shrugged. "But you are wrong on one account." He smiled again, but it was more menacing than anything else. "The natural state of existence is not chaos, but darkness. Darkness is the end of all things, once chaos has eroded all else, and burns itself out, only the empty darkness remains."
He turned from Karzem, conjuring a Portal of Darkness. Yes, he was making that a name, now. "Regardless, I think I understand how you did what you did. It's...fascinating. I'd never considered the possibility! Conquering worlds, sure. But changing them, consuming them." He trailed off for a moment. "This is going to be fun."

"Oooooooooh." Stella rocked her head back and forth. "Mr. Bad Wizard Man needs to calm down. Maybe he needs a backrub."
GOLDBEZ TOOK THAT A HIS CUE. HE SEIZED WILLIAM BY THE SHOULDERS AND KNEADED HIS ARMORED FINGERS INTO THE SKIN AND MUSCLE AND BONE OF THE COMAS MEMBER. SENSUALLY. VERY SENSUALLY. IT AS IF HIS MANLINESS WAS CONTROLLING HIS FINGERS AS HE MASSAGED WILLIAM'S SHOULDERS.
Wait, what's going on?
"Don't worry, Mr. Bad Wizard Man. Team Friendship will find the Sword of Truth so we can have the Scope of Science."
-
Meanwhile.
"Hey, don't we know someone in Really Cool?"
Jace looked around at the Crossmen for confirmation.
"Yeah," Sherri replied. "The prince and princess."
"Oh yeah! They were in the second story with us. Well, us three." He waved his hand dismissively at Matteas and Torran. "Not you two. You weren't important yet."
"I know Johnny," Torran raised a hand. "He was in Random World for a bit."
Matteas did as well. "Yeah, he also went with Leon into the Sea of Sand."
Jace thought about that. "Huh. Man, he's been everywhere. Why isn't he in this story?"
"I think he got fed up with all this fizz," Crass observed.
"Yeah..." Jace mused. "Yeah..."

Fortunately for William, he was never actually there. The person who was being assaulted by GOLDBEZ'S manliness was nothing more than an illusion. A real illusion. A reallusion, even. An illusion brought forth by the ILLUSION DIMENSION OOOOOOOOH - a dimension that, when opened, could project some sort of astrophysical manifestation of a person into another plane. Or something. MAGIC, MAN. IT'S TOUGH STUFF. The reallusion (and the COMAS guards) vanished after being massaged by GOLDBEZ, and all that was left of William were his parting words.
"You have one week to find for me the True Sword," his voice rang, "or the Scroll of Science will be destroyed, banished to the Null-Void, and then destroyed again!"

Blanche tapped her foot impatiently. "Well. Let's go then. Let's find this True Sword, get the Scroll(s) of Science and stop this supernova thing so I can take Stella back to Far Out to face justice."
Stella absently poked buttons on her UFO. "Yeah, lady-friend is right. This is booooring."

"Yes, hurry along, people!" Aurora commanded. "I swear, it feels like it's been over a year and you still have yet to make progress. Does execution not scare you anymore?" Evidently frustrated, Aurora lifted her scepter into the sky and - like magic or something - the protagonists rose into the air with it. "You're all banished from Awesome Land until you obtain the Scrolls. If you don't return to Awesome Land within a month, or if you attempt to return without the Scroll, you'll all explode." After having given them their incentive (in a very roundabout fashion), she added "I'll hunt down William and tell him to come to you when you have the True Sword. That way you don't have to come back and risk explosion." With a smile, she teleported the protagonists outside Awesome Land, re-erecting its barrier to prevent them from coming in.
"YOU HAVE 29 DAYS, 23 HOURS, 59 MINUTES AND 55 SECONDS TO FIND THE SCROLLS." read a digital sign that magically appeared right outside the barrier. With each passing second, the numbers decreased...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Bill Nye's Tower of Science, Chancellor Awesome was still helping Bill find his legendary Dragon Radar Scroll Finder.
"I hope Aurora hasn't done anything rash..." he mused, digging through Bill's doomsday weapons.

Blanche huffed and crossed her arms - but totally didn't pout because pouting was for children and Stella and she was neither. "Well. Shall we go. The longer we stand around the more likely I am to start killing Stella."
Stella didn't hear that. She was busy pressing her face against the barrier around Awesome Land. Several confused passer-byes actually stopped to watch as she made faces and smeared her saliva all over the magical wall. She opened her mouth, centered her face, and exhaled, causing her cheeks to puff out. The people hurried past, confident that the space ninja would haunt their dreams.
GOLDBEZ STOPPED HIS FEET, FLEXED, AND POINTED SOUTHWARD. "ONWARD THEN. TO REALLY COOL LAND."
AND HE MARCHED ON, FLEXING ALL THE WAY.
-
MEANWHILE back at the Tower of Science in Groovy Land, Bill Nye continued to rifle through his doomsday machines, science devices, and miscellaneous inventions.
"I think this may be it." He produced a device that looked remarkably like a pocketwatch and tossed it to Chancellor Awesome .

Cale shook his head. He had just been trying to help his father prepare for a celebration in his country's capital. Now he was banished, with his only chance of returning being to search for a bunch of scrolls with a group of apparently lunatics. He had been interested in the adventure beforehand, but with this new development...
Attempting to set his mind on the task at hand, he muttered, "So what do we do if we find out that one of the scrolls is actually in Awesome Land?"

"This...is the Scroll Finder?" Chancellor Awesome stared down at the device confusedly, not sure if something so remarkably similar to a watch could be useful in finding anything but the time. "Well, you are the Science Guy, after all. If you say this is the Scroll Finder..." Not having any visible pockets to slip the device into, Chancellor Awesome threaded the Scroll Finder around his neck for safekeeping and prepared to make his way back to Awesome Land.
"Thank you, Bill. I'll be sure to return this to you once the Scrolls are located." And all of a sudden, Chancellor Awesome remembered that he couldn't teleport, and since Aurora was all the way back in Awesome Land, he would have to walk there...

Azzi was actually quite excited to go on a quest. It would be just like the stories his parents had told about their days. No wait...they were vampire ninjas, so their stories were usually about death and a lot of blood....oh well. Azzi could work with that.
So he followed GOLDBEZ to Really Cool Land...riding on his shoulders, and pointing proudly into the distance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay...I'm....I'm gonna go lie down." Hermit said exasperatedly, walking off to wherever he can be off screen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Without another word to Karzem, Zais teleported out. To his TOWER OF DARKNESS, conveniently moved from Random World to Dynasty City some time ago. Also conveniently, his Shadow Army was still there in the city.
"I'm pretty sure if I wanted to take over this place...I'd have no trouble." Zais observed. THen he observed how utterly demolished the town was. "But...."
Just then, his right hand man Sindri entered. "Mi'lord." Sindri bowed.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"....here the whole time."
"Oh. Really?"
"......yes. We all have."
"Huh."
........The two stared at each other for a moment. Finally Zais spoke. "Right. Sooo, I guess Havoc Squad and all them are here too?"
"Havoc is here, yes. As is Gree and...well that thing." Sindri sighed. Zais quirked an eyebrow.
"Thing? What thing?"
"The ah....demon-guy."
Zais stared blankly at him for a moment before realization dawned. Then he grinned. "Summon them all here. I have a mission for them."
Some time later, Zais office was filled with Sindri, Havoc Squad's Vin, Corr, Darman and Taler, along with the Shadow Hunter Gree all stood at attention.
..and trying not to stare at the room's other occupant. Mistah Jangles, Bloodthirster of the Blood God Khorne, Attorney at Law, barley squeezed into the room.
"Right. I bet you're all wondering why I've called you all here today." Zais said.
The general mental response was a weary 'No.'
"It would seem that the well-to-do hero-types have begun a quest in search of the Scrolls of Science. I have no idea what they do, or what they look like or even where they are. Your mission is to acquire them before the others do." Zais said, totally serious.
"...how to we even start?" Gree finally ventured.
"I dunno. Tail the quest guys or something." Zais shrugged. Gree suppressed a sigh and nodded.
"Good. Anything to add, my good daemon?" Zais asked Mistah Jangles.
"_________!" The bloodthirster bellowed, temporarily deafening the room's occupants.
"...good man!" Zais said once his hearing returned. "Well then, you're all dismissed."
As the team left Zais' office, Sindri shook his head, chuckling softly. "I feel sorry for those miserable sods. This is a rather dull-sounding mission, sire."
"What do you mean? You're going with them." Zais said frankly, talking over his shoulder as he began sorting through some damage reports on his desk...and tossing them in the trash.
Sindri froze. "I...but...sir....*sigh* yes sir." Sindri slumped, and followed the team out.

Stell jumped up on Azzi's shoulders, so that they formed a human/vampire/ninja tower three bodies tall. She dug her heels into Azzi's shoulders, presumably to make GOLDBEZ turn, but that's not how it works, so instead, she just kept digging her heels deeper and deeper into the vampire ninja's shoulders, possibly dislocating them.
"I can see my house from here!" she exclaimed, which was ridiculous seeing as how her house was somewhere up in space or something.
"MUSH!" She smacked Azzi on the head, while GOLDBEZ extended his arms.
"AIR MANLY, THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING. PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS AND PREPARE FOR SO MUCH ACTION YOUR MIND MIGHT LITERALLY FIZZ ITSELF."
"MUSH!"
GOLDBEZ RAN SO FAST HE ACTUALLY LIFTED OFF THE GROUND.

"djkgbjrgbeh" Azzi managed to say, kicking Goldbez in the sides. "Do as she says, for the love of Khorne!"
Behind the group, another.....group appeared, maintaining a stealthy distance. Well, as stealthy as possible with a six-story tall daemon. "There they are." Sindri hissed.
"Right." Taler, sergeant of Havoc squad nodded. The group watched....
"...are...are these really the guys we're supposed to follow?" Vin fianlly asked.
Sindri nodded, though it was an uncertain nod. "Yes...."
And then Goldbez flew away.
....
They stared for a long moment.
"Uh...." Gree started. Everyone turned and looked at Mistah Jangles. The daemon just sighed and grabbed everyone present in a giant group hug and extended his wings, flying after Goldbez.

"I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!" GOLDBEZ SANG AS HE, AZZI, AND STELLA SOARED OFF INTO THE HORIZON. "I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY." HE ABRUPTLY SWITCHED SONGS. "I CAN SHOW YOU THE WOOOOOORLD." THEY MADE A HARD RIGHT OVER THE OCEAN, DIVED DOWN UNTIL THEY WERE ALMOST TOUCHING THE WATER. IN FACT, GOLDBEZ WAS TOUCHING THE WATER. HE WAS RUNNING ON IT.
"SHINING, SHIMMERING, SOOOOOOOOOMETIHIIIIIING!"

After what seemed like an eternity of walking, Chancellor Awesome finally arrived at the border between Awesome Land and its surrounding countries, noticing a couple parties heading southward. "Those must be Aurora's scroll hunters..." he thought, glancing at both groups. "The first few people I recognize, but the second group...Ah, well. It doesn't matter. I should go present the Scroll Finder to Aurora and see if she wants me to give it to the group. She likes to make things difficult," he sighed. As Chancellor Awesome approached Awesome Land, he was thrown back by some mysterious force. Or, perhaps it wasn't that mysterious.
"The barrier!" Chancellor Awesome's eyes widened as he realized just how fizzed he was. "Aurora put up the barrier! Without me inside its perimeter!" The Awesome Land barrier could only be erected by the country's current monarch, and it could only be passed and dispelled by those who had been granted special permission. Namely, the Guardians. People like Alastor, Lex, Zais...Despite his high ranking position as Aurora's personal advisor, he had never been declared a Guardian and thus could not pass through the barrier. What's more, he had no means of contacting Aurora (only Guardians get the cool communicator badges) and was effectively stranded. What's even worse, however, was that he just noticed the sign outside the barrier that promised explosion for anyone who returned without the Scrolls of Science. Chancellor Awesome shuddered as he realized that his only option was to-
"-join up with Team Friendship. I've got to join up with Team Friendship and help them find the Scrolls!" The Chancellor looked up at the sky and asked it, very sincerely "Why are you so cruel, Fate? Why do you torment me so?"
"YOU HAVE 29 DAYS, 23 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES AND ZERO SECONDS TO FIND THE SCROLLS!" the sign announced.
"I suppose I'll have to lament my fate later," he sighed. "For now...I must quest." And with that, Chancellor Awesome dashed after the protagonists...and the people that were following him.

WOOOOOOOOOSHKAVROOOOOMFFSSSSSSSSSH
Professor Calamitous swagged out of a worm hole and bent over to throw up. He wiped his mouth and coughed, "My goodness I forgot how awful worm hole travel was on your system. Come to think of it, how in the hell can I throw up with absolutely no gastrointestinal track at all? I don't even eat! Oh well, I'll worry about the side effects when worm hole travel stops being useful. Although it is very groovy inside of one. I feel like I'm back in my college days when I worm hole travel. Too bad that was my last portal shel.."
Just then he realized that he had portalled right in front of a man with a watch type thing in his hand. His eyes were then drawn away from the device and down to the man's shoes, which were now unfortunately covered in vomit.
"Well, sir it appears I have regurgitated on your footwear! I do extend my deepest apologies (but he was angry with himself for apologizing, he IS only semi-evil afterall), but you do know how worm hole travel is I am sure, seeing as how you ARE holding such a technological marvel as the one in your hand. That must make you Chancellor Awesome. My colleague is Bill Nye, we go way back. He asked me to portal over and warn you about some barrier between here and Awesome Land. He forgot to tell you his sensors had shown they went up right before you left. I never thought I would find you so easily!"

GOLDBEZ MADE A HARD RIGHT. HOW HARD WAS IT? IT WAS SO HARD THAT [THE REST HAS BEEN CENSORED] RIGHT INTO THE MOON. "HAHAHA." GOLDBEZ LAUGHED AT THE JOKE HE JUST NARRATED TO THE READERS.
ANYWAY, THAT HARD RIGHT WAS LIKE NINETY-DEGREES. IT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. BUT HE WAS BACK ON TRACK. WELL. SORTA. THE BORDER BETWEEN AWESOME LAND AND REALLY COOL LAND APPROACHED, SO HE DIVED AND SKIMMED ALONG THE GROUND...
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!" STELLA EXCLAIMED, BORROWING GOLDBEZ'S ALL-CAPS MANNER OF SPEAKING.
GOLDBEZ CRASHED INTO CHANCELLOR AWESOME AND PROFESSOR CALAMITOUS.
HARD.
Also Azzi and Stella were riding on him, so they crashed too.

The professor rolled 52.3462345 yards and vommited yet again. "My God I have got to fix that. What am i even throwing up in the first place!?"
He used his super cool and ironically manly robot exoskeleton to jump all 52.3462345 yards back to the point of impact. He was shocked to find an entire group of people surrounding him, all lying on the ground in pain. Except for the manly sack of testosterone standing in front of him yelling for no apparent reason, and in no apparent direction at all as well.
"...who are you? And why don't you just use worm holes like normal people!"
