"I find that... very unlikely..." Ara sighed, and shot a sideways glance at Ridley, who merely shrugged. "Well, perhaps you should come inside, then. This high altitude must not be kind to your, um, scales..."

"Not to worry. This headband I wear allows me to adapt and blend into any environment. But if you insist lets take our leave."

Typhos exited the small diner and began walking down the street. "Damn it, since when was the population of Awesome Land so large?" he muttered. He suddenly saw a small group up ahead and smiled. General Bara! "About damn time." he muttered.
He walked up and saluted. "General Bara sir. Sergeant Major Typhos Eremus reporting to your division as per orders." he said.

Dante examined the figure with deep suspicion, picking up on Trey's little 'slip'. Only two words with variants began with 'mort', and I know Trey was not referring to the us as explosive ammunition. Trey, the Immortal. How quaint. Actually, what a pair, the most powerful being in the universe with an immortal priest, maybe. However, dear Trey, Immortality is vastly different than Invincibility. Plus, I do not even know my the confines of my own power! That incident with the volcano made me 100 times stronger; so if Trey wanted to tango, I would sure as hell be ready. All I have to do is keep my power down so Trey does not get any ideas.
Dante noted another thing: this man must not realize the force that befalls us. Any shield that can withstand a volley from me and maintain complete structural integrity is not some cheap trick in Magick 101. Might as well 'look for a way in', just to better acquaint ourselves with the land. "Trey, that is not a bad idea. How about we travel along the edge of Awesome Land until we find a weakpoint?"
Everyone seemed in enough agreement to follow Dante, the sun beating at their backs.

General Bara turned to the sergeant. He gave a swift salute and greeting. "By who's orders, Sergeant?"

Cow-man descended from the heavens bringing a monstrous battle over who had rights over chocolate milk. Cow-man won, he always does. Even if he loses.
"So where is all the action at." He asked, finding a convenient sign that pointed at plot devices. "I see. My arduous journey for justice begins!" And he set off for the Imperatrix.

"Yes...By whose orders?" Walter demanded, temporarily distracted by the sergeant. "Hmm...Ah, yes. Her Imperial Majesty desired me to acquaint myself amongst the soldiers." Walter extended his hand to Typhos as well. "I'm General Walter." he added.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aurora wanted me to speak with the family of Imperial Soldiers. I'm supposed to tell you in a very sugarcoated way that their job is exceptionally dangerous and it is highly likely that your father will die." Taenas said before realizing what the word 'sugarcoated' meant. "Woops...I mean...Ah...So...How about that weather?" he chuckled nervously, trying to distract Galiana before she could comprehend what he had just said.

"Excellent, excellent!" Winston jumped up excitedly, hastily packing all of his objects in his briefcase again before running off to Really Cool Land with the same hurried and worrisome speed. His speed was so outstanding that one could hardly notice that he was going in the wrong direction, straight toward a vicious hyena den.

Jace rescued the young man before he was devoured. Sarah groaned when they returned. Winston in tow, Johnny led the way (dragging Leon) to Feld'varv. Some time passed. Eventually the countryside gave way to a city, a grand and magnificent city. At the end of the main road through Feld'varv waited the towering Really Cool Palace.
Knox took over the job of dragging Leon and let Johnny and Sarah thrust open the doors and run into the throne room. They king and queen were apparently speaking with someone else at the time of their arrival, bu quickly broke off their conversation. "Johnny... Sarah..." Queen Francine and King Randolph got to their feet at once. She welcomed bother he children with open arms and embraced them as a year's worth of worry vanished in an instant. Once they were finally released, they embraced their father, even Johnny. Once the emotional rush was over, the two stood back and told the tale of the past year.
When they were finished, the king smiled. "I never worried about either of you," he said proudly.
"That is not true," the queen laughed. "You fretted like a old maid every night!" He shot her a dirty look, to which she replied with another "Ha!"
"Very well," he relented. "I did worry. Not that you would be okay, but that I'd never see you again." The sweet moment was interrupted by the sound of Knox dropping Leon on the floor by the wall.
"My apologies, that was supposed to be quiet..." he mumbled.
Knox, Jace, Sherri, and Crass were introduced. Johnny fumbled over a name for Leon, for he did not what hos parents to discover that he was the man who was responsible for this whole mess. Leam, he decided, finding he could not be very creative under pressure.
"...And Winston, the emissary from the new Grand Imperatrix of Awesome Land, Aurora Veralice." Once he said that, he wished he hadn't used her surname. Instantly the king's physiognomy changed to distrust. Veralicewould be a name to be scorned by Really Cool Land for generations if things were not smoothed over.
"Very well," he said finally. "I will speak with you. Johnny, you stay with me and your mother. Sarah, take the others and..." he paused over Leon, unsure of what to do about him, "...show them to the rooms that have been prepared. A guard is waiting outside to lead you to your rooms." Sarah immediately scoffed at being unincluded in the talking, but saw that it was less work for her so...
Knox propped Leon over his shoulders, and walked alongside Sarah, with Crass, Jace and Sherri racing down the hall, much to the guard's chagrin. He hastened after them, shouting "No, your rooms are this way!"
"How does it feel?" Knox asked.
"What?"
"Being home after all this time. It must feel..." he groped for a word, but came up empty handed.
"It feels... oh, how can I say this?" She stopped walking and searched for a way to explain. "It's... the most wonderful feeling in the world. You know what I mean?" She looked right at him.
"Yeah, I do. I know what that feels like." He stared right back. She smiled at him, but it faltered when she grasped the meaning of his words.
"Knox... I..."
He opened his mouth, shut it, and turned away quickly. "Sorry. I didn't..." he let it hang. The two stood in an uncomfortable silence for a moment before the guard reappeared and led them away to their rooms, which, happened to be across the hall from each other. Leon was placed in a room adjacent to Knox.
"Well," Knox said from his doorway to Sarah, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." She shut the door. Knox lingered a moment, sighed, and ducked into his own room.
~~~~~
"So, what does... Aurora... wish to say to me?" King Randolph Mambutoo O'Malley said as he sat down in his throne. The queen followed his example, and Johnny remained standing by his side.
~~~~~
This man looks dangerous, Touleint decided from one look at Typhos. He looked to his General for a reaction, but received none. Great.
~~~~~
As Trey walked he let his hand trace across the barrier, leaving a light ripple in the air along its path.
"So, tell me, Dante and Salvatore, where do you two hail from?

Galiana looked surprised for a moment, greif and anxiety splashing onto her face, but she looked away from the man. Her plump lips, nearly shaped like a heart, quivered for a moment. She then regained her composure and looked up again. "I...I am no stranger to death, sir. I know the consequences. I will be alright."

He speaks rather well for a soldier... and a fish. Ara though to himself.
He led Metal Gear Fish, and the Ridleys into the Card-thedral. The audience room was rather plainly adorned for such an impressive building, but then Sunnatt was never a lavish person.
"So," he said, taking a seat. "What can I do for you?" The Ridleys sat around the room like gargoyles.

Dante and Salvatore had practiced many speeches over their travels; 'tis necessary when you travel through the universe often. Such speeches would comprise of how to explain their appearance to crab people, or how an accidental show of power was the result of some curse, or how men without spacecraft can be seen on two different planets within a day. Yet none of these speeches were ever so practiced as what Dante called 'The Origin Tale' and Salvatore called 'The Biggest Crock of Crap in Existence'. Salvatore, the more sociable of the two, would always begin, filling in the blanks as necessary.
"We are nomads from [current location] this very desert. We do not know that exact locale of our birth, as this desert especially lacks many distinct features. Even the oases appear the same. We were actually on our way to...[another location on planet]..." Salvatore lifted the map ever so slightly to catch any name from his eye's corner, "...Really Cool Land, to find better opportunities, for as you can tell, life around here pretty much sucks." Salvatore chose Option II. Had the area around them had been prosperous, Salvatore would have talked about a vacation.
Dante, walking briskly, decided to quickly turn and interrogate Trey. "Now that you know our story, what is yours? What is a man like you doing in such desolation as this?"

(Hey guys I really do not want to do this but I do think I will have enough to really contribute once the story gets rolling. Besides, Dante is ridiculously overpowered.)
Dante continued to walk in the sands, but he suddenly began to cry. He realized that he had become death, the destroyer of worlds, that his power was too disastrous to be used for any ounce of good. Dante had conversed with Salvatore about this several times, and both had agreed on a hard solution: Plan Omega.
"Salvatore, " Dante shouted ominously. "It is time for the Plan Omega." Salvatore sighed, wiping away his tears as he stood firm. "Alright brother."
Dante suddenly began to levitate and glow, bringing his body to full martial capacity. Dante's eyes grew blood red, the same crimson that filled the light in his hands. In the blink of an eye, incardine blasts vaporized Salvatore, unable to say goodbye to his brother. Dante placed his hands on his heart and fired, destroying every particle within his body.
With but two blasts, three strangers to this world became one.

"Well as I stated before, my leader Brock Obama has sent me on a mission to oversee this land for a bit. So I guess for the moment I need some information on where we are exactly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the Obama Cave
"Mr. Obama! After look over those files you gave me I found some... Irregular data."
"Oh really. What did this data show my underling?"
"Well to be honest I cannot tell you. It seems to me that there is a soul that is being split apart inside the specimen."
"Good... Very good. Are you the only one to have seen this?"
"Why yes sir I A-A-A."
Just that Brock Obama shot the random underling in the head with a .44 Magnum.
"All is going to plan," Obama said to himself "MWAHAHA!"

Information. That word stuck out in Ara's mind like a Jolly Rodger flag among Royal Navy ships, except he didn't understand the reference, since neither pirates, nor the British Empire exists. A spy, he admitted as much. Was he really this bad at his job?
"Well, you are currently in Fun Land. To our east, beyond the Uncharted Mountians, is Groovy Land, the home of..." he stopped himself. This fish was obviously a stranger to this place, so best keep important information to myself. "...of hills of such psychedelic ferocity that a single glance would cause one's head to, ahem, asplode.
"To our south, also beyond the Uncharted Mountains, lie Awesome Land. It has had quite the... tumultuous past." He left it at that.
"Beyond even that is the Sea of Sand to the West, and Ausum Land to the East, beyond the sea. South, also beyond the sea is Really Cool Land." He decided to keep Super Land and Special Land a secret for now. "Is that helpful?"

"What's the matter?" Ara jumped to his feet, but stood by helplessly. What could he do? Riley darted out into the hall to find a doctor.
MGF continued to writhe in pain.

MGF continued to scream in pain, until the pain caused him to go into shock and he passed out. Suddenly something began to grow on his back. The blob continued to grow until it finally split from his body. Suddenly A heart beat started...
