Nope, you aint ruining them Zerox, they are immortal hee hee. The ODDHANCER, you tell it a name of a Gluk, like Director Phleg, then it finds the pieces, puts em back together, good as new. Then it upgrades the Glukkon. I'll post pics of the ODDHANCER and the upgraded Gluks when I find someone's scanner to use.

Lord Vulcher 07-15-2006 12:00 PM

Yay, you've returned! With another excellent piece of story too! This is getting better every time.

Jordan 07-16-2006 04:26 AM

Well, here is another chapter for you eager people, I guess...

Chapter 6

Return to the Monsaic Lines

"Hmm... Well, we could always transport ourselves to the Monsaic Lines, there's a bird portal somewhere, come on, we gotta find it!" Abe thought, pulling a tree branch back.
The two friends crawled under the leaves and stood up, the sharp thorns scratching their heads.
"Erm... Where now Abe? Are you sure it's in here?" Munch asked impatiently.
"J-just be q-quite it's g-getting c-cold! I k-know w-where I'm g-going!" Abe shivered, pulling back more tree branches and thorn bushes.
"H-hey what's that Abe? It's really bright, my eyes hurt!" Munch spotted, closing his big, scaley eyes and rubbing them.
Abe shook his head and leaves slid off it onto the scratchy muddy floor.
There was a bright ball of light in the middle of a tatty wooden ring, it's height the size of a Mudokon stood upright, birds flew around the ball of light, as if trying to protect it, but they weren't...
"That's it! That's the bird portal! We're here!" Abe exclaimed, forgetting about the freezing cold of the night.
"Yes Abe, calm down, it's only a commercial!" Munch chuckled, shaking his hands up and down, in a calming way.
Abe and his friend stepped into the light, and the birds flew in circles around them quickly, making them dizzy. The birds shone as bright as the moon then they dissapeared, Abe and Munch going with them.
The two hit the mossy green floor of the Monsaic Lines, everything was quiet, too quiet... The native home of the Mudokons was deserted, not a Mud to be found.
"Well, they've got this place too! Them damn Glukkons!" Abe said angrily punching a cracked stone wall. The stone wall crumbled, creating a doorway to a hidden cave...
"Abey? Is that you dude? Have you come to save us? Please say yes!" A Mudokon inside begged.
There were at least five Mudokons inside, and they were thin and blue with cold.
"What happened to this place? Did the Glukkons get the rest of you?" Abe asked frantically.
"Um, we were hiding, and the rest wouldn't, they insisted those Glukkons would never come, foolish guys..." Another Mud explained, shaking his head.
"Well, you could always come with us! You can help us blow up Rupture Farms and the other remade factories!" Abe said reassuringly, grabbing a Mud by the shoulders and hauling him up.
"Yeah!! That'll be great Abey! This'll be fun!" the Mudokon shouted excitedly, he had a bad lisp.
The Mudokons ran down a grassy slope, Munch hopping along slowly behind, through a dark doorway, through the long narrow cave, and down a small ledge. They saw the gigantic stone Scrab and Paramite statues towering above them, they knew they were close to the Scrabanian and Paramonian wells...

Please be in a good mood. I love this story.

Jordan 07-17-2006 11:24 AM

Another chapter is here! Btw, I watched Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's Chest today, I loved it! But there is no ending god damnit!

Chapter 7

The path of Paramonia, part I.
Welcome to Paramonia!

"Looks like we're here, these wells are kinda dirty!" Abe told them all, wiping his finger on the inside of the Paramonian well.
"Hey, don't criticise it, we kept it in good conditidion, right?" one of the Muds insisted, slapping Abe's hand.
"Yeah... whatever, come on guys, hop in, I'm right behind ya!" Abe ordered, pointing at the well.
Munch and the others looked at the well stupidly.
"Aint no way I'm gettin' in that thing! Way too messy!" Munch argued, folding his thin arms.
"Oh come on! You bunch of cowards!" Abe shouted impatiently.
No one would budge, so he decided to use force. He ran behind Munch, picked him up and threw him into the dark, damp, and dusty well.
He repeated this with the rest of his friends. Then he too, dived into the well after the others.
Abe hit the floor painfully, on top of two of the Mudokons.
"Ouch!! Get offa me!! Get off!" the Mudokon on the bottom cried, wriggling about like a worm.
Abe rolled off of the small pile and onto the soft grassy floor.
He looked around him, most of the trees were chopped down, Glukkons had been here too... "Damn! Those stupid Glukkons, look what they've done to the place! I can't stand the ********!" Abe exclaimed angrily.
There were no birds twittering, no Paramites hissing and munching on their meat, the place seemed empty.
Everyone had gotten to their feet, and were ready to set off. They passed several dead branches and leaves that were scattered all over the floor, blackened with the dreaded fire that had caused their deaths.
"Wonder if the Elums are still here?" Abe wondered, looking into the air and watching the still lever that activated the Elum gong.
"Elum don't come out unless they're called, they hide real good!" one Mud said shortly, looking at the lever with Abe.
Another Mud walked over to Abe and said something in his ear.
"What 'choo lookin' at?" he said stupidly, squinting at the sky.
"Never mind, I'm just gonna be a minute," Abe said, walking over to a well near him. He suddenly dived into it, his friends watched his skinny body fly into the air and onto a burnt wooden platform above them.
Abe jumped into the air, grabbed the hanging lever and pulled on it seven times, slowly but surely, seven Elums came plodding from the forest and to the spot next to the well.
Abe slowly climbed down the ledge and dropped to the floor, and onto one of the Elum. "Come on guys, grab an Elum and let's ride!" Abe shouted eagerly, beckoning the others to follow.
"Wow! Way cool Abey! This is gonna be wicked!" a Mud said, running to an Elum and climbing onto its back. The others did the same, Munch had to be lifted, but he was happy to be riding instead of his usual hopping.
All the Elums started to move, going at lightning speed, jumping over a gap, and into a small narrow tunnel, and out the other end, where the sun shone brightly on them.
"Well, there WAS a native Mud here before, but I see he's gone, poor guy," Abe explained, wondering how they were to get a lift.
Suddenly the guys heard metallic foot steps from behind a wooden wall at the other side of the gap where the lift should have been.
"Quick guys, get over here," Abe beckoned, he was already beside the wooden fence.
"Did you here somethin'? I heard voices!" A Slig asked another, getting worried.
"Nope, I heard nothin', no need to get worked up, no one can be here," the other Slig replied, shaking his head.
Munch and the other Muds were beside Abe, and listening in on the conversation between the two Sligs.
"Can you guys... chant?" Abe whispered.
"Yeah, only me, hee hee!" laughed one of the Muds.
"Possess a Slig after me, and we'll do something funny with them, he he!" Abe explained to the Mudokon who could chant.
"Yeah, whatever, what is this 'funny thing'?" the Mud agreed, wondering what the 'funny thing' was.
"Wait, we need spooce," Abe remembered, looking at the walls to see if he could find some.
"Ah hah!" the other Mudokon whispered, he'd found some spooce!
The two began to chant, creating two chant orbs, which would soon take over the enemy Sligs...

Zerox 07-18-2006 08:43 AM

Heh, lets see what happens to the Sligs...
My usual favourite was "Help! help help help..." *thud*

Jordan 08-03-2006 07:58 AM

I'm so sorry for not posting in a while, I wanted a little break from the forums, as noobs have started joining. But I'm back and here's chapter 8!

Chapter 8

Paramonian Path, Part II

The power of chaos

Abe and his Mudokon friend made the spooce orbs fly over the fence and they met the Sligs there.
"Ahhh! Crap! Help! Help! Help!" one of the Sligs cried worriedly, shooting at one of the spooce orbs uselessely.
"Get away from me!" the other Slig warned, as Abe's spooce orb came nearer to it. The spooce orbs hit their targets, and took over them.
"Hey, bark breath!" Abe's Slig laughed.
"Piss off, poo brain!" the Mudokon's Slig argued back, unable to resist a laugh.
"You stank brother!" Abe's Slig shouted at the top of its voice.
Suddenly three more Sligs came running up to them from the distance, wanting to join the 'arguement'.
"Hey hey hey! What the hell's goin' on here guys? Break it up!" one of the Sligs ordered.
Meanwhile, Munch was getting kind of bored with the whole idea of Abe leaving him out, he clambered down from his Elum, and slowly hopped away behind a bush.
"Oh god! What in Shrykull's name is this, hm?" Munch asked himself, awed at what he'd spotted. There was a metallic platform with a tv screen flashing different colours on a shelf stuck onto the rock.
Munch looked closer, decided he couldn't see what was going on and hopped closer. The Gabbit stared at the tv screen, watching and listening intently.

"The Magog on the March! News you don’t wanna lose! Abe, the Mudokon terrorist escaped us yet again in our search for new employees, Slig security guards have spotted him running along the Stockyards, he then vanished, nowhere to be seen! Could this be something to do with those ghosts again? Oh this is too horrible!
News just in! Who’s that guy hopping up the hill to Nolybab? It’s a Glukkon! Oh my god… it’s Molluck!!! He seems to be visiting Lady Margaret, thank god he’s still alive! More news tomorrow on the Magog on the March! And remember, our spew is your brew!”
The newscaster Slig hopped off the stage and the tv turned off.

“Molluck? He’s back? How can this be?” Munch asked himself.
There was a strange noise behind Munch, like electricity zapping somebody.
Munch slowly turned his head to the direction of the noise he’d heard, the noise went on and on. The scared Gabbit gulped and hopped towards the bush, as he came closer to it he noticed it was glowing a bright blue colour.
“Munch… come closer young one…” a cool female voice whispered.
“Wha-? Why? I’m coming!” Munch whispered back, seduced by the beautiful voice.
Munch crawled through the tight gap in the bush and stood up on his single foot at the other side. He was in a ring of flowers, the area had been untouched by Glukkon, and it was secret…
“Munch, you are here, we must act quickly, your Mudokon friend Abe is struggling with his possessed Slig!” the female voice whispered again.
Munch looked around the cave and saw a bright white figure of a young female Mudokon, hair trailing down her back down her back, where her eyes would be were scarlet red circles, lighting up the dark area.
“What do you mean? We must act quickly?” Munch asked, he had no clue of what was going on.
“Munch, I am to give you a power, a power so great it could destroy this planet if it is in the wrong hands… the hands of evil. Now, stay still and quiet, I shall grant you the power of chaos!” the female Mudokon spirit explained.
Munch did as he was told, and stood silently on the spot, he closed his eyes and waited.
“This could hurt a bit, so try to keep a straight face, if you crinkle it up in the process, it will stay like that,” the spirit joked, laughing softly.
Munch was lifted into the air, the circle of flowers began to glow, and he was hit with powerful lightning, and the metal fuzzle detector on his head flew off and hit the wall, in its place a tattoo formed, it was a ring with spikes jutting out of the sides, and in the middle was a gabbit face.
After the painful process, Munch was slowly lowered to the floor and the female Mudokon spirit spoke once more.
“We shall meet again, young gabbit…”

ANGRY ELEPHANT 08-03-2006 11:23 AM

This is great!I wonder what Munch's tattoo does.

Zerox 08-04-2006 02:33 AM

Kewl....nothing much else I can say, really /. .\

Jordan 11-29-2006 06:53 AM

It's been ages since I made a new chapter to this... Time for a new one eh people?

Chapter 9
Path of Paramonia Part III

The capture...

Munch crept back through the gap in the bush and shook the thorns and leaves off of his slimey body.
"Woah... what the hell was that all about?" he asked himself, hopping back to the wooden platform.
He quickly made his way back to where Abe and the others were.
But instead of seeing Abe he saw the wall they were hiding behind crumbled and the Mudokons and the Elum were nowhere to be seen.
Munch called for his friend. "Abe, buddy, where the hell are you?"
There was no answer...
The lone gabbit struggled on, through a narrow cave and out, he found himself in a circle of pine trees, where he laid down to rest, it was getting pretty dark, it was very hard to see.
He thought to himself, what if those freakin' sligs got Abe? Would they have shot him? As he thought this, he drifted into an easy sleep...
The next morning, Munch set of to find his friend again, he shuffled about in the spikey trees and came across a battered old well, perhaps he'd find his friends through here? He didn't take long to ponder, he bounced in and it sucked him through like a hoover, he shot out and landed in a pile of leaves.
The gabbit shook himself and lifted his head.
"What the fluff happened here?" he said loudly, he quickly muffled his croaky voice and stood up, the trees had been cut down, there were only stumps left. Munch heard an odd crackling noise nearby.
He slowly hopped about, looking for what had caused the sound.
"I tell you boss, we couldn't find the effing Gabbit anywhere!!
------- You sayin' we should go back? ------- Yeah, whatever, sir!" a Slig's voice seemed to be talking to somebody on a phone. "Schmuck!"
Munch froze, he had to hide, but where? His heart was thumping, the Slig was coming closer, he had to get to that well...
But as munch jumped madly to get to his destination, he tripped, typical.
"Crap! Just my luck!" the Gabbit cursed quietly, now crawling to the old well.
"He is so annoying, we Sligs WILL triumph one day..." the Slig said, he had travelled down a long hill, which had a ship on it.
Munch gulped, he rolled over, and there it was, the annoyed slig standing over him.
"Well well, what do we have here?"

Abe16 12-01-2006 11:27 PM

Dude, I just started reading this. This is amazing. Don't know how ya do it bud.

Jordan 12-02-2006 01:56 PM

Thanks Abe16 :)

Chapter 10
The Temple's Entrance

Munch's head hit the floor as the Slig whacked him round the head with it's heavy gun.
"Boys, look who I have here!" the Slig called to his friends, slowly dragging Munch by his webbed foot.
Several Sligs dashed down the hill with metallic pants, they halted when they saw the hurt Gabbit lying on the floor.
"Ooh, good one, let's get him to his little friends..." a Slig decided, rubbing his dirty green hands together like a fly.
The Sligs hauled Munch to the top of the hill, where a large air ship sat, and Abe and the other 5 Mudokons were tied to it.
Abe turned to a Mudokon next to him and whispered something to it.
"Woah, they got Munch, and look, he's got a scar on his belly!" Abe pointed out quietly.
"Quiet you! Or we'll blast you to bits!" a Slig threatened, lifted his gun.
Abe shut up quickly.
Munch was thrown to the floor, the evil Sligs sat him up and wrapped the big rope around him.
"Uhhhh..." Munch moaned, his head lolling to the side.
"Munch, you okay?" a Mudokon whispered thoughtfully.
Munch nodded slowly and smiled weakly.
A couple of hours passed as the Sligs ate, drank beer, and joked.
Abe and the others stayed silent for the rest of the night, they tried not to nod off.
"Can we go now? I can't wait to get these guys slaughtered, I don't know how it's gonna happen though, hope it's gory!" a Slig schemed nastily.
The gang of Sligs agreed that they'd go and got up.
Munch was properly awake now, he spoke: "Oh no, they're gonna take us to those Glukkons aint they?" Munch asked panickingly.
The Sligs came closer, Munch was getting worried, his heart was beating fast, and he suddenly felt a surge of power flow through him.
The Gabbit screamed, the scar on his chest glowed a bright blue, and several bolts of lightning shot out and shocked the enemy Sligs, they exploded into thousands of pieces and all that was left was a pile of bright green ash.
"Woah, Munch what the hell was that!?" Abe asked, amazed at what his friend had just done.
"I-I don't know, it's t-this scar!" Munch said, awed. "I'll t-tell you about what happened earlier..."
And so he told his friends about his meeting with the Mudokon Goddess, the Mudokons looked at him, their orange eyes like dinner plates.
"I wish I'd met her, I could have got me a girlfriend!" one of the Mudokons dreamed, staring into space.
"She'd have slapped you." Abe said simply, staring at his fellow Mudokon, a smile on his stitched lips.
"The temple shouldn't be far away, guys. Aha! Look, there's a bridge leading to it! Let's go!" Abe shouted happily, pointed at the Paramonian Temple entrance. They had arrived at their first destination!

Jordan 12-15-2006 11:39 AM

Chapter 11

The Paramonian Temple

"Woah, this place is huge, is it any different from last time, Abe?" Munch asked his Mudokon friend curiously, looking at the high, creepy walls of the dark temple.
Abe stopped to think. "No, I don't think so... I think this temple is protected from most Glukkon attack,"Abe replied to his friend Munch's question.
The Mudokons and the Gabbit carried on their journey, and they all came across a tall, dark, doorway, with long stairs winding down the cold cave.
"Should we go down there? It looks awful creepy..." A Mudokon asked, peering into the darkness.
"Hmm... This area wasn't here last time, instead there was a lift, a Slig and a Slog, strange..." Abe pointed out, placing his large, 3-fingered hand on his chin. "We'd better get going, then.
So Abe and his party continued down the sharp, shiney, stone steps, and at the bottom a doorway was revealed, they all hesitated for a moment, but shook it off and went through.
"Holy-!" a Mudokon cried, his mouth wide in amazement.
The doorway had lead to a giant room, with humungous rock statues of the proud Paramites towering to the high ceiling.
Light beamed down from a crack in the center of the ceiling, it seemed to be shining on something...
"Abe, what is the thing on that pedestal over there? Is it safe to touch?"
Munch said worriedly, squinting at the pedestal in the middle of the room carefully.
"I... Don't really know," Abe said slowly, staring at his friends.
They were all staring at him, big grins on their faces.
"W-what?" Abe said hotly, backing away from them as they came closer.
"Go on Abe, you can do it, grab it and see what happens!" A Mudokon urged shunting Abe closer to the bright object glowing.
"Fine, selfish bastards," Abe muttered as he crept towards where the beam of light was shining.
Abe knelt before the pedestal, and looked closely at the item, it was very oddly shaped, it looked a lot like a paramite, on a lollypop stick!
"Freaky, what the hell is this thing...?" Abe wondered, scratching his butt stupidly.
He closed his eyes tightly, opened them and reached out for the paramite on a stick.
"Woah!" Abe shouted, surprised.
He had seen a short flash in his mind, and saw the Mudomo weirdo waving its ghostly hands about madly.
He shook his head wildly and looked to the side of him, he heard a very loud hiss in his tab-hole.
"Mother!" Abe said weakly, he saw inside a Paramites mouth, it was very unpleasant, claws were jiggling about crazily.
Suddenly the angered Paramite lunged at him, in a rage, but Abe quickly side rolled, and the creature skidded across the smooth, hard floor.
But Abe heard more hissing, and the padding of feet, he turned and looked across the large room, his friends were dashing towards a doorway that had mysteriously appeared out of the blue.
The hissing was made by 9 other Paramites, angered at Abe's presence, they too pounced at him, but Abe was quicker than them he did a diving roll over one of them and he speedily ran towards the recently apparated doorway, when he made it, he saw Munch closing the door, the tired Mudokon got in just in time.
"Now that, was freakin' close!" Abe panted, his heart racing painfully.

Jordan 01-05-2007 07:00 AM

Well, it seems no one is reading this anymore, but still, I want to write something, hopefully someone'll see this! *looks hopeful*

Chapter 12

Deep in the temple...

"Why the hell did you shut that huge door on me, Munch?" Abe asked his Gabbit friend loudly, wiping sweat of his blue forehead.
Munch did a weak smile, his sharp, pointy teeth sticking out.
"Sorry, those Paramites were gonna get at us... You still made it, right?" Munch explained stupidly.
"Whatever..." Abe said forgivingly. "Just be careful in future, I'm the guide in this evil place...
The journey was silent for a while, all that was heard was the dripping of cold water falling from the stalectites from the ceiling.
The walls were covered in dead spooce and mould, and very old cracks that had been there for years.
"Are we lost...?" A mud asked, sitting down on a damp rock.
"No... Abey knows what he's doing, dontcha?" A mudokon stated, patted Abe on the back.
"Ouch... Yeah, I know... Get off that rock a minute!" Abe ordered. "Please...?" He added when he saw the expression on the mud's face.
Abe carefully observed the mouldy rock and found it had a large crack right down the middle, and strange symbols were carved into its stoney surface.
"Here goes nothing..." He said, as he lifted the Paramite-on-a-stick into the air. He rapidly swung at the broken rock and smashed it with the Paramite stick, and started to form little cracks like tree roots, it suddenly shattered into tiny little pieces.
"Abe, what was the whole point of that!?" Munch laughed at his friend.
Then Munch saw the whole point of it... There was a big whole in the floor, with dark green vines dangling from the sides.
There was a long pause while the Mudokons squinted at the dark gap in the floor.
"Well... Isn't anyone gonna check it out?" Abe asked his friends.
"Well? Fine, I'll do it!"
So he jumped into the dark hole, he shouted as he fell, and a big crash came after...

Abraham Lure 01-05-2007 07:23 AM

That is an awesome fic. I like it. I especially like the detail when Munch and Abe go into the bird portal. And the part where Munch channels all of that power from him. This is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Jordan 01-05-2007 12:47 PM

Thankies Abe! ^.^ I'll see if I can write a chapter tomorrow, when I get in from work (carpet fitting -_-)

Jordan 01-06-2007 01:37 AM

Chapter 13

The Paramonian Vaults

"Abe, what was that crash, you okay buddy?" Munch shouted down to Abe, sitting down by the hole.
Abe's moaning could be heard, and he replied.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it was a load of bones, yuck!" Abe grimaced, as he shuffled away.
"I'm coming down, here I go!" Munch said bravely. "GERONIMO!!"
A short time after another crash was heard, "I'm fine, come on down guys!" Munch called to the other 5 companions.
And soon enough, they all smashed down to the floor in a heap.
Once they'd all got up they went down a long, dark, winding corridor, with Paramite bones scattered all over the floor.
At the end of the corridor was a dead end, and a story stone with a Mudokon paw carved into it was stuck on the wall.
"Go on Abe, only you can read those things, put your hand in!" a Mudokon said, pointing at the story stone.
Abe did as his friend said, he placed his right paw into the hole, and a vision appeared in his mind.

"To seek the place you are looking for,
All you need to do is use your paw,
Here you are, doing it now,
Abe get off this story stone, you annoying cow,
Just get through that bird portal!
Go now you pathetic mortal!"

Abe's sight came back and he looked at his friends they were all sat on the floor, arms crossed.
"Abe, you're back, and you made a bird portal!" a Mudokon cried happily.
"Yeah, that stupid poem called me a cow, I dunno what the thing was all about, I never do know what they're saying to me..." Abe laughed, beginning to open the recently made bird portal.
He chanted and it burst open, a bright blue orb appeared in the middle.
"Come on, you guys, let's get through..." Abe told his friends, and they all hopped in the portal, Abe following.
A shadow crept down a hole, it slithered slowly down the corridor.
It then dived into the portal after Abe.
Once Abe and his friends had made it through the portal, they looked forward, they saw more stalectites hanging mysteriously from the ceiling.
Doorways were scattered all over the walls, with small ledges below them.
There were wells on the floor, leading to ledges... "This must be the Paramonian Vaults!" Abe thought to himself.
Abe beckoned his friend to a nearby doorway, and they all rushed to it, and went through, to Vault number 1...
The shadow lurked around a totem pole in the middle of the room, it slowly glided into the top, and turned into a blue flame...
